Hi lovely readers. Thank you for choosing to read this book. I hope you like it.
Gianna. I’m still filled with apprehension as I step into the shower cubicle. My heart is stuck in my throat as I listen for footsteps heading this way but I hear none. When I'm sure Alpha Rex doesn't have ulterior motives, I switch on the shower and let the warm water cascade on my body. It soothes me as it washes away the filth on my body. I sigh, raising my head as water pours down on my face. The last time I had a warm shower was before I shifted into my wolf. After I shifted and they discovered I was an Omega, they shunned me and sent me to the attic. I used to bathe in a big basin after sneaking in some water when everyone was sleeping or early in the morning but it was icy cold. I was an outcast in my own father's pack. I grab the shower gel and lather my body with it. It smells so good that I can't help but take a deep breath. It smells like Alpha Rex. A minty scent that incorporates into his natural sandalwood and musky-woodsy scent. My mind drifts to what happen
Rex. I watch as Gianna skims through the contents of the document I just about put together when she was in the bathroom. If someone asked me if I know what I’m doing, the answer is no. I have no idea why I suddenly decided to attend the hunt today. Or why I brought this tiny little thing to my penthouse and got her dressed in clothes I had prepared for my future Queen, which surprisingly turned out to be her size like they were meant for her. Or why I came up with the stupid idea of being pretend mates. My father doesn’t bug me about finding my mate anymore, yet he still holds on to the throne like it’s his lifeline. For fucksakes, the dude is old and should be enjoying his life with his fellow old folks. I am the only Alpha heir above twenty whose father hasn’t handed over the mantle to. Yet I do all the fucking work. But still... that's not a valid reason for me to come up with such a contract. I fold my arms across my chest and look at the little wolf seated across me. Sh
Gianna. The ride to Alpha Rex’s pack is more comfortable now that we’ve sort of interacted. He still frightens the daylights out of me but knowing he was also rejected has made me lower my guard a little. Well, he didn’t specify who did the rejecting but he mentioned that I am like him which means he met his mate but for some unknown reason, they split up. Either way, one of them rejected the other. Even though this doesn’t make any sense, why would anyone reject the Alpha King? Regardless, I sort of felt some kind of kinship with him knowing we went through the same thing. I still don’t know if the rumours of his sex addiction and ruthless killing are true though. He hasn’t tried to force me into anything so it’s safe to say he was saying the truth, all those rumours about him are not true. He is cold and distant but I feel like there’s more to him than meets the eye. My wolf strangely feels calm around him, probably because he helped us when rejecting Alpha Mason. It's strang
Rex. “Son, come to my office, I want to have a word with you,” Dad says and I frown, knowing he’s about to bombard me with questions that I'm not ready to answer. This man is far sharper than any man I know. It will take a lot to convince him that Gianna is my mate but so far he didn’t look suspicious so I wonder what he wants to talk about. I stand up, glancing at Gianna and stroking the side of her head affectionately. “I’ll be back. Let me talk to the old man for a bit.” I say and I smirk when her face flushes to an adorable pink. She’s so cute and innocent. I love how every little thing can make her blush. Oh, how I would love to taint that innocence. To let her have a taste of sin... to let her crave it so much she wouldn't blush so hard as she boldly begs me to take her over and over again. Our eyes meet and I stare at her for far too long than I intended to. Again, I'm lost in her beauty. Her blue eyes... her pink lips... her smooth milky skin... they were all made to p
Gianna. Night has fallen and I’m seated at the dining table with Alpha King Charles and the former Alpha Queen. My heart is in my throat and I’m uncomfortable because Rex is nowhere to be seen. They are kind people and very welcoming but I still don’t feel at home yet. I can’t believe Rex left without even saying goodbye. It’s been hours and he’s not back and I don’t know what to do with myself. “Eat up, Gianna. Rex has left the territory because of a threat. He will be back soon.” Alpha Charles says helpfully and I force a smile at him as I swirl my fork in the spaghetti on my plate. “You should have sent someone else. How can he leave his mate here alone when she’s new to this place? Is whatever he is chasing more important than his mate?” Grandma Ruby scolds and I swallow deeply. We are not real mates. So obviously whatever he’s chasing is more important than me but why do I feel bad? Alpha King Charles sighs. “It must be something serious.” I tune them out as I focus o
Mason. I chug down a bottle of whiskey for the umpteenth time today and fling it across the room harshly. It lands on the wall and breaks into a thousand pieces, scattering the pieces of glass around my office but I don’t give a damn. I haven’t been myself since yesterday. That little timid Omega dared to reject me and I was forced to accept the rejection by the cruel Alpha who decided to attend the hunt when he was not wanted. How dare she reject me? How dare she humiliate me in front of my pack members and so many Alphas? I didn’t know they were having an affair behind my back all this time. Come to think of it. They must have planned for him to come and threaten me so he can get her from here. How could she cheat on me when I promised her the world? I told her I would make her my Luna soon. I told her I loved her. No, she knew I loved her. Her body was all I wanted and I couldn’t get tired of her once I started fucking her. I explained clearly to her that I didn’t love Sophi
Gianna. It feels like a thousand years have passed since I saw Rex. I have been trying to keep myself busy by training with Lily but I can't seem to get him off my mind. What exactly is he playing at? He brought me here to be his fake mate and then he left. His father is now starting to doubt if we are real mates. I thought becoming Alpha king was important to him. How will he do that if his father discovers our secret? The Alpha King makes commentaries about how Rex is not behaving like someone who just found his fated mate during dinner but Grandma Ruby would deflect him by changing the subject. Regardless of his suspicions, he's organised a welcome ceremony for me tomorrow. I'm going to be introduced to the pack as the Luna but I wonder what Rex’s absence will look like to the pack. They will probably think I'm not that important to him. The respect the few that I've met are giving me because I'm associated with the royals will stop and I'll start being bullied again.
Gianna. I avert his gaze and proceed to walk towards the entrance, burying the sting in my chest. I’ll just ignore him and pretend he doesn’t exist. Why did he bring me here when he already has someone he loves? Is it a forbidden relationship or something? I haven’t seen him in days and this is what he shows me. I know we are a fake couple but I expected him to at least respect me. But who am I to say anything? I don’t think anyone can ever take me seriously, especially a future King. Unlike the beautiful woman in his arms, I’m like a speck of dust on his shoe. It hurts terribly and I don’t know why, nor do I understand this sour feeling in my heart. I haven’t spent much time with him so what is this possessive feeling in my chest? And what's with my wolf wanting to be close to him? He's literally a stranger. Perhaps I'm feeling this way because my wolf has taken a liking to him. I blame him for being present when I rejected Alpha Mason. This is why she's attached to him. My e
