Jackson:I tapped my foot impatiently across the floorboard and I was a bit tired from the meetings that I had been involved in since the start of today. My stomach also squealed in protest from allowing it to dry out since morning but I stared at the papers in front of me. As I leafed through the pages, I was already tired. I needed a break. Reaching for the cognac on my table. One would say that this wasn't the best substitute for food but I didn't care about that.I looked up and glanced at the clock only to find out that it was still afternoon. Where did all the time go? I still had a mountain of work to deal with. I could just wing it and eat later because I tended to be lethargic after meals.I heard a knock on my door and I looked up. It was probably one of the guards. "Come in."He walked in slowly and his eyes darted around the room instead of mine. "State the problem," I ordered."Alpha, ma’am Roselyn has left our pack." He said and I stared at him. "What do you mean by sh
Klien:My eyes widened and I wiped my face off with my palm. I felt tired and I finally opened my eyes looking around trying to remember where I was.I remembered how I got here and I remembered how it had to do with me drinking myself to stupor. I looked beside me and I found Alpha Jackson sleeping on the couch and it all made sense.I remembered the conversation we had while drinking and everything came back. I stood up and shrugged it off waking him up. “Alpha, wake up, it’s morning already,” I said I was talking to him by his shoulder but he didn’t fully wake up.“Do you need me to call a maid to carry you to your bedroom? ” I muttered but there was still no response. I sighed, picking him up and resting him on my shoulders. “Why did he have to drink so much if he knew he couldn’t handle it?” I thought inwardly. I knew I couldn’t leave him here so I carried him to his room and placed him on his bed. I wondered how someone could sleep so heartedly, throughout the journey to his r
Roselyn: The light that shone on my face through the curtain did not pity my essence. I couldn’t even open my eyes fully as I sat up in bed wiping my eyes till I was fully awake, I had the most terrible night.I looked around and it was morning so early, I wasn’t even excited or anything. Life has been so difficult and toxic that at this point there was nothing for me to be happy about.I signed from thinking about all the recent happenings of my life and Jackson none of them was even in my favor. A lot of things were happening but sadly I had nothing to do about it. I was cornered, and my opinion didn’t matter.I didn’t even see the motivation to get up from bed, I wanted to crowd myself with thoughts of my misery.I rested lazily on my bed as I allowed different thoughts of my situation to fill my head.Why would I be getting married to someone I don’t know? What if he hated me and what If I was never happy in the marriage? This was supposed to be a marriage of convenience but I did
Klien:A throbbing headache pounded against my head as I sank into my couch."Damn it! What's with this headache? It feels like my head's about to split," I grumbled, shifting uncomfortably. Thoughts of Jackson's struggles to win back Roselyn flooded my mind, and suddenly, I felt a deep empathy for him. I realized the agony of trying to win someone you love."I must've been a complete idiot. How could I forget my true mate, the one I loved more than anything?" I lamented aloud, my voice ringing out in the room. Regret and pain filled every word, echoing off the marble walls as if mocking my foolishness."How could I remember Mirabel and forget Talia? Oh, Talia! My dear Talia!" I groaned, overwhelmed by the pain of my reality. I wondered what Talia had endured during my memory loss. I prayed she could find it in her heart to forgive me for not remembering her.I couldn't eat, couldn't bear the company of others. My thoughts were consumed by Talia. I wanted to be with her and have her ba
Mirabel:I was ready and all dressed up, I woke up that morning feeling very energetic and excited for the day. I knew why I was happy but I tried to cover it up by saying it was just a good day.I picked up my bag and I was about to walk out of the room when my door flung open and Selene walked in with a questioning look.“You’re going out?” She inquired with a questioning gaze as she walked over to my bed and sat down at the edge.I placed my bag down because I knew she was there for a conversation the moment she walked in.“Yeah, I have to do something urgently. I don’t plan on staying out too long though.” I said calmly sitting at the edge of the bed beside her.“Hmmm, the place you’re going to does not have a specific name? Or you don’t want to tell me?” She teased.I knew she was joking but her voice sounded more serious than normal. Although I noticed this I didn’t say anything because I didn’t want to sound weird or point out unnecessary things.“You know that’s not it and I al
Mirabel:I pulled him over to me and by now he was already naked on top of me. I felt his body pressed on me and I enjoyed his hot breath on my body.“Are you sure you want this? You should be practicing on how to stay away from me since I'll be gone for some time.” He said calmly. Although his tone was calm, I could sense the seriousness inside it.I felt he was trying to remind me that I wasn’t going to be with him anymore and Like he said then he had his own life to live too and that included getting married to Roselyn.The thought of never getting to see him or having sex with him again crowded over me and it made me lose interest immediately.I pushed him over gently and sat up on the bed pouting my lips in annoyance. He noticed this and he moved over to me with a smile plastered on his face.“What’s funny?” I snapped back at him. I could notice that I was already getting pissed and I was going to end up taking it out on him.I knew he didn’t deserve such an attitude but why did h
Jackson:“So what are you saying now?”“I'm not saying anything, all I’m trying to point out is that we should ask him questions, after all, he is the only suspect we have here.”“Are you sure? I don’t want to punish him for what he didn’t do or was forced to do. I just want to be sure of what I’m doing before I take any bold step.”“Okay we aren’t going to hurt him, we are merely going to question him, I’m sure he has the answers we need, he just needs to be pressed to confess.”“We shot at him and he said nothing.”“I believe he’ll speak after what we plan.”“That’s much better, we’ll just threaten him or scare him, I’m not in support of causing any physical damage toHim anymore or his family even if I can.” I said and leaned on the edge of the table pondering.“There’s one more thing I need to tell you, I just feel that you should know about this.” Klein stared staring at me with an uncertain look.“Okay go on, what’s that?”“It’s about your sister, Mirabel I think she knows someth
Roselyn: “It’s one thing that you want me to get married to someone that I have no idea of and it’s another thing that you’re refusing to let me know who it is. What are you trying to hide from me for this long?” I stood in front of my father with a compelling look.I needed answers now and I wasn’t letting him postpone me again. He wanted me to get married to someone I didn’t know but at least I deserve to know the person.What was the point of hiding the identity of someone who I was supposed to marry? What was the essence of that anyway? “You need to calm down Roselyn, I’ll tell you when it’s time for you to know.”“And when will that time ever come? You said the same thing yesterday and now It’s a new day. What are you hiding from me? Who is this person that you are this hesitant to reveal his identity?” I pestered again and I had to admit that I was already getting pissed at my dad. What was the use of lying to me? Why would he hide something this important from me? This was my
