Roxanne's Point Of View I didn't know how long I'd been sitting on the river bank. But I knew that it's been hours since I came here staring at nothing in particular, just the water as they flowed over. It's been hours since I ran away from Luna Kaitlyn's presence. Now that I've cooled off a bit, I couldn't help but feel bad about the way I had yelled at the woman. I just couldn't help myself. I took a deep breath to calm my nerves. It's not entirely my fault. I was pissed at her grandson. IâŠ.âThere you are.â A familiar voice sounded behind me and I turned around to see Lucia making her way towards me. At first, I wanted to run away too, because I wanted to be left alone, but I decided against it. âLucia.â I acknowledged her presence and she flashed me a small smile. âWhat are you doing here, all alone, Roxie?â She asked me, that smile still on her face.I exhaled sharply before answering. âNothing.ââYou don't like our pack, do you?â She blurted out and I had to stop myself fro
Alejandro's POV âThe poor girl is your mate, Jan. You can't just treat her that way.â My grandma said in a calm voice. I'm even surprised that she isn't yelling at me already. I was half expecting her to yell at me, scold me, remind me how I disappointed her by thinking about letting her be introduced, despite how I'd promised her that I'll never let my mate go through the same fate.âI knowâŠ.ââNo, son. I don't think you do.â She cut me off. âBecause if you do, you wouldn't have acted the way you did. You wouldn't have sat back and watched her ....ââWell, I wasn't planning on letting it happen.â I interrupted her. I have no idea how I was going to make her believe me, but I was going to. I'm sure she would. I took a deep breath before starting. âYesterday, when the discussion about the introduction came up, I didn't want it to happen. I made her know that she should be grateful that I didn't let her go through something as traumatising as that shitty introductionâŠ.ââWell, let me
Alejandro's POV âIf you had had your way, would you have really fucked my mate?â I asked Theo as I stared at him in close scrutiny. âIs this why you called me here, to ask ifâŠ.ââAnswer the fucking question, Theo. Would you have fucked her, all in the name of some stupid tradition?â I cut him off. I never yelled. didn't need to. And from the way Theo's hands were shaking, I could tell that he was scared already.Exactly how it should be. He should be scared! âUhmâŠ. Yeah. You called us back, remember? And besides, this is our Pack's tradition. It has been in existence way before you were born. So it's not my fault that I wanted to honour it. Besides, your mother was introduced to the Alphas too. SheâŠ.âThat was the straw that broke the horse's back, because in no time, I was standing in front of him, with my hands wrapped around his neck in a tight grip, as I pinned him to the wall. If I added a little pressure now, he'll definitely die.âSay one more word about my mother again, and
Roxanne's POV "Wait here." Luna Kaitlyn whispered quietly before walking away. I glanced around the place, trying to get familiar with my surroundings. Suddenly, I heard footsteps approaching me and I turned around to see who it was. It was Alpha Holland.Since he was an Alpha, I bowed slightly in greeting. âGood day, Alpha.â I greeted and he smiled softly at me.Alpha Holland's high cheekbones and strong jaw feel like an affront. I donât want to like a single thing about any of these Alphas, but I canât help appreciating the sharp angles of his face, his broad shoulders, and the way his muscular body fills out that bespoke tux.âGood day to youâŠ.â He trailed off and I knew that it was because he didn't know my name.âRoxanne.â I answered and he nodded slowly.âHow are you doing today, Roxanne?â He asked as he placed his hands over my shoulder. It somehow made me uncomfortable, but I couldn't push his hands away. Thankfully it wasn't Alpha Theo, the same man that was hellbent on maki
Roxanne's Point Of View I slept for what felt like an eternity even though it was just two hours. I couldn't sleep for long, even though I wanted to and that was because my mind was unable to fully relax even though I was in the safety of Luna Kaitlyn's wing. The memory of Alpha Alejandro's rage and Alpha Theo's calculating gaze as I walked away, kept me on edge whenever I thought about it. I was safe, yes, but for how long? And what new kind of hell had I just walked into? What kind of mess have my stepfather forced me into? I rose up from the bed and walked towards the window, just so I could stare at the village below. I'd have loved to leave the garden and return to my favourite spot in the garden, but deep down, I knew that I wouldn't do it. Luna Kaitlyn brought me here to protect me. Therefore I can't go out. The moment I reached the window, I realised that coming to the window was a mistake, because indeed Alpha Theo stood there, his hands behind his back as he watched m
Roxanne's Point Of View âDon't make this hard for all of us, Alejandro. You know we're here for her introduction. Nothing elseâŠâ âThis meeting has been cancelled!â Alpha Alejandro growled. âNow all of you, get out and never show your face here.â âAre you chasing us away, huh?â Alpha Theo hissed through gritted teeth. But Alpha Alejandro didn't bulge at all. âYou heard me right. I said, "Get out.â He growled again. And this time, without any hesitation, the men rose up from their seats and they began to leave one after the other. I could feel Alpha Theo's eyes on me as he walked away. But I didn't dare to stare at him. That man was up to no good. I can feel it in my bones. I made a mental note to stay away from him as much as I can. In no time, the room was empty and it was just I and Alpha Alejandro. I was suddenly filled with anger. And I wanted nothing more than to create a good amount of space between us. I wanted to be anywhere but here. Therefore, I rose up from the grou
