TESSAI took Odette's Tea to her room this evening. Daria was meant to handle it, but since she was unwell, Odette asked me to step in for her. Now that she's the official Luna of the pack, everyone has to follow her orders without question."Come here Tessa," She called.I stepped into her room. Marina Alonso, Frederick's mother, is already here. Odette has relocated from her parent's house to reside at the Alpha's mansion since their return from the vacation.“I asked Tessa to bring it to me since Daria was unwell. Tessa was free, so I asked her for help,” Odette said to Marina, smiling. Marina smiled back at her, but when she looked at me, the smile faded away. “What are you waiting for, Tessa? Hand it over to the Luna."I carefully handed her the cup, and Odette accepted it. Our eyes locked. For a moment, I was worried she might let the cup slip from her grasp. A sly glint dances in her green eyes as she brings the cup to her lips. Then, Odette scowled. She clamped her mouth w
FREDERICK“How did they get past our border?” I growled, causing my warriors to step back. We got to the spot, but it was already too late. I clenched my fist as I saw the corpse of my warrior sprawled on the grass, blood still seeping from the gash on his chest.It was tough to keep composed when the urge to capture all the creatures and deal with them myself consumed me completely. But I need to stay alert. Those creatures appear to be smarter than I initially believed, we should be cautious with our next move."I received a report that the Moonstone pack faced the same attack two days ago, Alpha." The Moonstone Pack has the territory that's nearest to my pack. So, those creatures have made it to the heart of Montavia indeed. I'm curious if it has to do with the pack in the outer territory being overwhelmed by the rogues' attack.When those creatures come near us, my wolf should be able to pick up on their presence. What happened to my usual ability?That's when it hit me—I’ve be
FREDERICKIt takes all my strength to stay composed watching Tessa laugh with Gabe. There's a table right in front of me, and honestly, it was a miracle I didn't just hurl it at his face.This little annual gathering my grandma always hosts is already a hassle. I just don’t get why she has to invite Gabe and Tessa as well. I was planning to set her and Odette closer tonight, but it seems I'll have to wait for another opportunity."When I first met the late Alpha Maxon, my mate, he mentioned how I was too much for a She-Wolf. I said to him he was jealous because I beat him two rounds in a row while his pack members were watching." My grandmother said, sipping her tea. "I'm sure he meant it as a compliment; sometimes we males are just a little reserved," Gabe said with a big grin."Isn't that foolish? That's the quickest way to lose a woman you like. Wait a second-" She watched Gabe "That's probably a reason you haven’t found your partner mate. She might be around you, Gabe, but your
TESSAIt's been a week since what happened at the inn. A week I haven't seen him in the pack. I wonder if Frederick has gone to another pack for some business, but I was too afraid to bring it up, even with Daria. Perhaps he didn't leave; he was just mad, that's why he always avoids me. I knew was mad when I turned him down that morning.I shouldn't have allowed him to touch me again. Yet, the remnants of our bond, I guess, seem to silence the part of me that should push him away whenever I feel his touch.That morning too, at the inn, he would've fuck me again If only I hadn't dared to stop him. What he did make the memory of the first time when he took my virginity on his bed, did it so gently I could not resist, and the disaster that followed afterward, strangled me.'I won't let him do that to me again.' I won't let myself be discarded after being used as a tool to fulfill his desires. Because I knew that once the lust that clouded his thoughts faded, I would be seen as nothing
FREDERICKShe was safe, curling in my arms the whole night and I thought my anger had faded away. I was mistaken. I could hardly think clearly as the memory of last night when that jerk kissing Tessa, rushed back into my mind.His scent lingers on her. The scent of another male on her body pushed Nyx's anger to the breaking point. I knew that if I stayed in the room any longer, I would lose control of my wolf. So I decided to give her some space.As soon as I stepped outside, I quickly dialed a number. Not my assistant at the mansion because I can't let anyone find out that I'm here.“Bring women's clothing. Right now." I spoke up as soon as the call connected and hung up right away. I sent the address and didn’t wait for a response. The clothes arrived not long after. I wasn't about to let Tessa wear the dress she had on last night because it still smelled like the mess and that jerk.It was the unmistakable proof when he not only kissed her, but also had his hands all over her. I
TESSAI woke up to the gentle sunlight pouring into my room. As I blinked, the throbbing pain came rushing back. It was hard to lift my head, so I spent a few moments lying still, softly massaging the bridge of my nose. Once the pain in my head eased up a little, I tried to rise from the bed. But I felt something heavy was tightly wrapped around my waist, restricting my movement.I glanced down. A scream nearly escaped my lips as I saw an arm wrapped around my body from behind. This means the warmth that emanates from behind...Looking back, the sight that greeted me made my heart race like never before. Frederick was asleep. His eyes were firmly closed. At this intimate distance, I could hear his breath and the gentle rhythm of his heartbeat.I feel itch to glide my finger over his dark, well-groomed brows, tracing the high bridge of his nose down to his defined jawline, adorned with a fine beard. We're dangerously close. How? I just spent the whole night in the same bed with him,
