"Harder, Alpha." My elder sister, Tania held tightly onto the bed, while the Alpha who happened to be my mate ravaged her insides from behind. I was seated on a wooden chair, facing them, forced to watch them. My arms, bound to the chair, were filled with marks of infidelity, the type that would only appear when your fated mate was cheating on you. But even though the marks hurt, I was not screaming or even grimacing or reacting to the pain at all, not even the one in my chest. I was used to it. For three years, since I found out that Alpha Ronald Ewan was my mate, I had been forced to endure this. He would not let me go or reject me, because being with one's fated mate 'felt good'. He would also not make me his Luna, because I was not worthy of the position. He wanted to eat his cake and have it. "What do you think, little mate? You think she is taking my cock nicely?" He asked me, his smile mocking. I rolled my eyes, ignoring his question. But as usual, the Alpha would not have it. He pulled out of my sister and strolled to stand in front of me. He gripped my chin tightly, and forced me to look up at him. He was standing before me, completely naked and hard, yet I felt nothing but utter disgust. No sparks of the bond, no pull, no scent, nothing, unlike when I first felt the bond three years ago, before I discovered that he was the devil. The hate I had for the man was stronger than the mate bond itself. The hate had eaten so deep into my heart that it overpowered the force of the bond. "Answer me, before I stuff it in your mouth." My stomach churned. Not just because of what he said, but because I knew that he would do it. He had done such to me numerous times. My greatest desire was to be free of him. But I could not reject him. He was an Alpha, and I was only an Omega. Rejecting him would kill me. Even if I survived it by any slim chance, my wolf would surely die. "Yes." I hissed. "She is taking your fucking cock nicely." I then glanced at the girl in front of me, my sister. The face of betrayal itself. Evil made flesh. There was a smirk on her face as she watched me. She was enjoying this too much, my humiliation. Before I turned eighteen and found out that Alpha Ronald and I were mated, I had a crush on him. But then, I found out that my sister liked him too, so I backed off so she could have him. Not until that fateful day, when our pack hosted the mating ball, and I happened to be mated to the Alpha. Tania was hysterical. She accused me of being a witch, and taking everything she ever wanted. She then promised that she would have her revenge, a kind of revenge that would break me so deeply, I would not be able to recover. And she did it, because I was broken. "Can I get up now?" I asked the Alpha, wanting to be away from the both of them. I just hoped deeply that he would spare me today, that he would not ask me to join him in bed. He smirked, and I felt my hope crush. "You know how I love finishing up with you, little omega. No matter how many I taste, you are still the best." I saw my sister's burning gaze on me, her jaws clenching. She hated the attention the stupid Alpha gave me. She did everything for him, but he just fucks her. I hated the attention too, but I would endure it just to see that look on her face. "Disgusting bastard." I murmured, but I knew that he heard me. Tania heard it too, and she hated it. She hated that I could insult him and get away with it, but if she dared, it would be her death. The Alpha smirked down at me, sensually rubbing his hand on my cheek. "Your filthy mouth..." He suddenly trailed off as if something called his attention. I guessed that someone sent him a mindlink. Today was the mating ball after all, and our pack was hosting it this year. His attention would be needed. The stupid smirk on his face soon disappeared, and was replaced by a deep frown. "Some bastard want to take my attention from you, Omega. But I will be back and I will fill your mouth with my cum." I wished that I could attend, but as usual, I was not allowed to attend any function. I was just locked up in a room, clothed and fed, then used for the Alpha's satisfaction. Still holding my chin, he tried to kiss me, but I moved my head away. There must really be an emergency, because he didn't try to force me as he usually did. He then left the room in a hurry, leaving me with my sister, as she picked up her clothes and began to dress up. I tried to stand up to go to my room as well, but the binds on my hands held me down. Thankfully, it wasn't too tight, as the bastard Alpha planned to lose me soon to fuck me. Tania began to say something to me, to mock me perhaps, but I didn't hear it at all, as a scent hit me. A scent so strong and inviting, I was almost knocked out. No! This kind of scent, I had experienced it before, the scent of a mate! My wolf which had been dormant for a while stirred and purred in my head. What could this mean? I already had a mate, and this was not the way he scented. Why was I smelling my mate again, and why was the pull so strong? I tried getting up again, this time forcing the binds loose. Ignoring my sister, I walked out of the room in search of the source of that scent.“One step back, and you’re back in your comfort zone, assured of what each day would bring you. One step forward, and take a gamble taking a path full of uncertainties. Not knowing if it would give you pain or happiness.” Ellie could not help but shake her head. She gave Ryo the same choices two months ago. Who would have thought it boomeranged to her? She looked at her father with her bright eyes. The tiny dimples at the corners of her mouth deepened as her lips stretched into a smile. She took her father’s arm and made one step forward. His father smiled at her and assisted her as they walked further down the stone path. It felt like her feet were stepping on clouds. She could not feel her feet at all. Her mother waited at the end of the path, behind a closed door. She handed her a bouquet of roses and gave each of her cheeks a peck. Her eyes looked at each of her facial features with such adoration. “You l
It’s been a couple of months since the Academy Awards and Ellie has not heard from Ryo. For each day she has received no message or phone call from him, the heavier her heart felt. But then, didn’t she give him a choice? His nonresponse must be him telling her his choice. She’s fine either way but she hoped to at least spend one more day with him. One more day to look at him, talk to him, and engrave his presence in her memory. Because that day is all she’d have.It’s hard to believe that Ryo was her “the one that got away” because for the life of her, she wanted him to be the one. That one person whom she’d share her morning coffees with. But then, her pride and fear pushed him out of her life. She’s been through many breakups but none felt as painful as Ryo’s. She loved him dearly, and she loves him still. It’s hard losing somebody when you do not see it comin
“I am me and you are you. We could not change it. I wouldn’t change it. Our paths were not meant to cross, but they did. That must mean something, right?Now, I am putting us at another crossroads. We could spend one unforgettable night today and have a lifetime of certainty apart. Or we could have a lifetime together, making each uncertain night unforgettable. Ryo Matsuda, what does your heart tell you?”The camera panned to Ryo, displaying his face. Everyone in the venue and those watching at home could see his shock. But none of them felt the nuclear bombs detonating inside him. What does his heart tell him? Does he need to answer that? He looked at the vacant seat beside him and read the name written on it. Diwa Malaya. He does not know the name. But the words Director Nakamura read connected with him. It spoke to him. His head throbbed from trying
For the umpteenth time, Ryo surveyed his reflection on the full-length mirror before him. His stylists stood around looking at him, waiting for him to say something. The tailored tuxedo fit him like a second skin. The top half of his dark hair tied in a neat man bun at the back of his head while the rest brushed his shoulder. He looked fresh and gorgeous, like the true heartthrob that he is.Only when Ryo gave his smile and nod of approval did his stylists release their breaths. They’re already pressed on time and could not afford a wardrobe, makeup, or hairstyle change.As if on cue, Miyagi entered the room and signaled it’s time to leave. He turned around and walked out of his hotel room down to the parking where his team’s limousine waited. His eyes trained on the scenery outside the window. They’re on their way to the venue for the Academy Awards.The
Ryo’s hand holding pen froze in mid-air when he heard the voice. “Did I miss Ellie so much I’m hearing things?” He shifted his gaze from the poster on the table to the person who stood before him. There she is, standing in front of him, all smiles, as usual. Her t
Ryo woke up with a smile plastered on his face. Ellie’s warm body beside him is a welcome change to his morning routine. He snuggled closer to her, hugging her body closer to his and smelling her hair. She always smelled so sweet. His shampoo on her hair smelled different. The woody scent o
Several months had passed, and Ellie’s life slowly returned to normal. Like every news in the country, a bigger news popped up and overtook Angelo’s death. The reporters who hounded her soon chased the bigger story and let her be. Social media bashers did the same
“What do you plan to do, Ellie?” he asked as he stroked her back. They were lying on her bed, holding each other.“I don’t know, Ryo. Everything’s happening too fast. I’m overwhelmed.” She took a deep breath, then snugg
