A Taste of My Alpha 24
My fingers tightened in a fist but I held back. Dropping my face to the ground, I mumbled, “Sorry.”“Don’t hit other people, Ara!” Leila scolded.Ara stepped back. “Oh, I also asked Ara to bring one of our most precious artifacts from our pack.” Leila smiled and took a seat, followed by Lucinda.She peeked over Lucinda’s shoulder to look at me, “August, will you bring it out of that box, please?”She pointed at the small box at the table. I pressed my lips tightly, and nodded my head. As much annoyed and angry I was, I had much important matters at hands now. Walking over, I grabbed the heavy box and brought it to their table. I bent down on the ground on my knees to open it. Opening the top of the box, I pulled out the piece that was quite heavy. It was something made of glass. Something very precious clearly. Just as I was just pulling it out, something clicked in my mind.Although this house was new, Alpha had already given it to Leila the day she had come here. Her servants were

What is this? The paper had been stuffed inside the cover to hide it. Why would Kaya or anyone push it into the mattress? Was I overthinking this or Lorenzo really had something to do with Kaya’s murder?I kept staring at the paper, wishing somehow some magical words would appear on it to give me a hint. But it remained as it was. I stuffed it in my pocket, and then quietly tiptoed out of the room. I was carefully closing the door behind me when a soft whisper slipped across my ear, “Snooping around?”I jumped in shock, and flipped around immediately. My eyes wide.Lorenzo stood in front of me with a smirk on his face, staring at me from top to bottom. Shit!“Wh- what? No. I was,” I gulped to hide my nervousness and quickly think of something, “I was looking for the washroom. Miss Leila said it is here, but I could not find it since thre are so many rooms in this corridor.”“Liars get set on fire, omega.” Lorenzo’s voice remained cold and emotionless even though there was a smirk on

I shifted immediately. Down on my knees in my human form, my arms covering my chest, I stared at the now dead guard with wide eyes.“What… did you just do?” I whispered, and lifted my eyes to look at Lorenzo, “you just killed a man?”He appeared indifferent, and casual like he had just chugged down a bottle of beer instead of committing murder. He jumped over the dead body of the man to get close to me, and then looked down at me with a smile. “Of course. Anything for you.”“For me?! FOR ME?!” I repeated the words. Why was he not making any damn sense?”“Well, yeah!” he shook his head like it was SO OBVIOUS, “something is wrong with your wolf, isn’t it? You shined in the dark. Pretty sexy, by the way,” he smirked, “but whatever it is, I don’t want to know. He was calling his pals over to get you in trouble, I stopped him from doing that. So didn’t I just help you?”My heart thumped with slight relief. He did not know about a the shining wolf tale. My secret was still safe.“I never a

That damn door! The squeaking noice was loud enough to make me still in fear. And to my horror, I saw Leila’s eyes snapping open. Since it was dark, at first she did not see my face, and called out loudly, “Who is there?!” Then her eyes met mine despite the dark for one brief second and it was like my heart stopped in that very second. I immediately pushed away from the door. “Lorezo!” Leila’s voice rang in the empty house, “wake up. Someone is in the house!” “What?” Lorenzo was half sleepy, half awake. He must be shocked too by the way there was urgency in his voice. “I- it is August.” she said in lower voice but I could hear her words as Lorenzo and Leila were scrambling out of the bed and running out of the room to catch me, “I saw her face. It was definitely August.” FUCK! Since I was barefoot, thankfully my steps did not make much noise. I ran like hell, trying to find a way out but I knew that I will never make it out of the main door because Leila had already seen me. I

I was so scared that I was almost sure they can hear my heartbeats. Had they found me? I could hear the sounds of their footsteps. They were right in front of me. There was a gap between the clothes that had fallen over me. I could see the legs as well. If they pulled the closet straight, I will fall out of it like a sack of rice. My doom was just one step away from me. Fuck. I stopped breathing, fearing they will hear the sound, if they had not already. “What do you think?” Leila asked softly. Worry lacing her words now. “Jumped out. But she can not get far.” Lorenzo muttered under his breath. “That bitch. I should not have let her go tonight. If she tattled off to anyone, everything will be destroyed.” “Her scent is still strong.” Leila’s hand creaked open the window wider, “I think she is somewhere very close. Let’s find her.” “If we can not, you already know what to do, right?” “Of course.” Leila mumbled, “it is just a mess to handle. I don’t like taking all the headache.”
A Taste of My Alpha 29
Adrian I don’t know how my father got the idea of continuing the centuries old traditions of putting two little babies in a promise of a wedding knot, but it clearly backfired. Being basically newborns, obviously neither I nor Leila could voice out our denials. My dad has always been big on placing his reputation above everything else. The circle of power has to spread, that is the most important thing for him. His head held high, his nose in the air with no shame to have on his shoulders. When I was born, Leila’s dad, Adam and my father’s pack were one of the most powerful packs in the country. There was an event ongoing in which the alphas had gathered to our pack that week. My mom was in labour first which induced Leila’s mom’s labour as well, making all hell break lose that day. When I was born first, Alpha Adam took one look at me and offered my dad a deal. ‘How about you and I become in laws if I have a daughter?’ he had said, ‘we will have a stronger relation if we are join
A Taste of My Alpha 30
There was something sharp piercing my eyes. Extremely bright. It was blinding. And it hurt.I sucked a sharp breath in as pain shot through the back of my eyes and in my head. It felt like my head was being squeezed in a vice. I tried to open my eyes to look around but all I could see was blackness. I breathed through the pain to bury my fear, and then tried to calm myself down.I remembered Lucinda attacking me. The fear was still alive in my bones. Had she blinded me? Oh god… I hope I am not blind! My fingers tightened in fists in fear. That is when I realized that my one hand was not empty. A few fingers were wrapped around my hand, and they tightened when I squeezed my own fingers.“Hi,” a soft whisper was there. A familiar scent was in the air. I took a few moments to recognize it, and then whispered, “Adrian?”“Right here.” the voice was more audible now. I could finally breathe without panicking. My fingers tightened around Adrian’s hand more, my heart thumping in my throat.
A Taste of My Alpha 31
I was not worthy of being with Adrian before in everyone’s eyes. But now… now I was the girl who would be pitied if Adrian ever even thought of accepting me as his mate. My life was ruined, wasn’t it?Tears made way through my eyes as the mere thought of being a burden on mom throughout our entire lives made me feel even more miserable. She never had a moment of peace with her omega status in the pack and now I was going to be an addition to that horrifying life.“You are not listening to me!” Adrian snapped. That is when I realized that he was shaking me by my shoulders, trying to bring me out of my thoughts and back to reality. “What?” I growled, pushing his hands off me, “WHAT?! What is there to listen anymore, Adrian?!”I was more angry at myself than him. I am an idiot! “It is not disfigured for forever!” he barked, grabbing my nape and pulling me to him, “calm… down.”My racing heard started to calm a little as his words registered in my mind when I looked into his eyes, “...
