Alpha Alaric's Troublesome Mate

Knowing her mother would surely find a way to convince her father to change his decision, Castellana can only smile and appreciate her effort. As much as she wanted her help to avoid being mated with an Ivanov, she also did not want it to be a reason for her parents to get into an argument. Not to mention, if her relationship progresses positively with an Ivanov, her family would surely be spared from further threats and scrutinizing remarks."Yes, Mom. I also think that it is a great idea," she replied, making her mother look at her with doubt.She held her hand and squeezed it."If I change my mind, you will be the first one to know, Mom. So do not worry about me."When her mother left, the invitation Ivana brought crossed her mind. Castellana found it on her side table, but she hesitated in opening it. She had a feeling that she might come to regret once she saw what was inside. After some time of deliberation, she finally let out a heavy breath and opened it.The very next day, th

The next morning, even before the sun rose, Castellana woke up. She felt like she just had the best sleep she ever had since she started working as a model. Aside from that, she felt more than refreshed. She stretched out her arms and greeted the morning with a good mood. Adding to that, the fragrance of sandalwood incense filled the room.Only when she looked around did she realize something. The room was not the assigned room she shared with her sisters. Not to mention, she actually slept on the couch. A huge question mark marked her face when she saw the king-sized bed broken in half as if someone had just entered and decided to destroy it. Her gaze then landed on her bra lying right on the table. It was only at that moment when she looked at herself. She was not just braless, but she was wearing a large-sized white dress shirt paired with only her panties. She sniffed at the shirt.Realizing that it had the same mint scene as Alpha Alaric, she did not hesitate to take it off and

Gallahand raised an eyebrow as he leaned away from his seat. He just got this feeling that something unusual would happen and it thrilled him, especially that he would be involved in it."Just say the words and I will give you the information you need," he replied with much enthusiasm."I want you to look into some cases of half-werewolves and give me a detailed report of how they differ from pureblooded ones, particularly about their heat cycle and mates," Alpha Alaric said."That won't be a problem if they are half-humans since that had been occurring for years now, but it would be a different case if they're half-vampires since it is definitely under the isolated cases." Gallahand smirked. "However, I will try my best.""I am not specifically pertaining to the Sullivans.""And I did not mention them, you did." Gallahand laughed and he could already imagine being glared at by the alpha. He then added, "Anyway, I will start working on it."After the call ended, Alpha Alaric sighed. T

The day after the photoshoot, the girls were immediately scheduled to meet with all the judges. It was only their second day, however, it was also the first eviction night. Out of the 20 models, one of them will be leaving.Whoever gets evicted will be the one who performed the worst during the first day of the photoshoot. "I bet it is Castellana," some of the girls said since they all witnessed her outburst the other day.They giggled to themselves upon seeing her walking past them together with Bianca."Exactly! The way she acted so picky totally shows what she truly is. She must think that there will be someone here giving her special treatment.""It would be a total surprise if she won't be kicked out tonight," another one commented."If ever that happens, then someone is definitely backing her up from behind the scenes.""I could hear you all." That was what Castellana wanted to say, but she did not want any troubl

Two days after Castellana was disqualified from the Top Global Model competition, she realized that she missed the flight she booked two days prior that day. For some odd reason, she had no idea what happened. All she could remember was she was waiting for a ride to take her to the airport. She also recalled the man who tried to hit on her, but she just ignored him and walked away to avoid any trouble with him. After that, she no longer knew what happened. When she woke up early in the morning, she just found herself checked in in a hotel room. Fortunately, she saw no sign of her being with a man or else, it would become disastrous, especially since such a thing had already happened with Alpha Alaric. Even then, she headed to the bathroom and spent an hour bathing as if to rid of anyone's scent from her.The moment she was satisfied, she stepped out and let out a heavy sigh. "I should call Mom," she told herself upon seeing that she had 50 missed calls f
