CHAPTER 2
MONTANA'S POV
I could not believe how I easily let myself be manipulated by Lola. The smirk on her face when she walked closer to me and embraced me in a hug, one that was for her to pass a message to me.
She had taken advantage of my trust and that stung more than I expected cause I felt so stupid and silly. She saw me as someone who is naive enough to fall for her schemes and here I am, proving her right on how foolish I could be.
"You know for someone like yourself, it was so easy", Lola giggled in my ear, still hugging me tightly before she finally pulled away.
Luke saw us and walked towards my direction, "I guess you are a slut after all, I got what I wanted from you though, so you are free to pass yourself to other men. That is what you were made for anyways", with that said he walked away.
I noticed he had gone to greet some people who came for the wedding so it was Lola and I. How could he just say that to my face and then walk away?
"Do you want to hear the story of how I ruined my older sister's dream?", she asked me but I just could not form any words.
"That's okay, I will tell you anyway", Lola smiled as she started telling me the story of everything she did. I could already feel my heart racing as memories of that night came back, remembering the suspicious guy she was talking about who was not so suspicious that night.
Lola said, "I had paid him to you know, play a little with your drinks, do it quietly and quickly. Guess what sis? He did a wonderful job, I can not believe till now that I am telling you this you were not able to figure it out", Lola mocked me, laughing at how broken I was looking.
When she described the guy, I remembered him vividly. So all the drinks I had been receiving throughout that night were spiked by Lola?
No wonder his face seemed slightly covered, I remember some part of his face but not all and he was sweet and nice, offering to drink with me, get more drink for me and Lola would persuade me to drink with him, with them and have more fun.
"Oh did you think he wanted to mingle with you?", she made one face and bit her lips, "on the other hand, Luke is a very delicious Alpha, I must say. But I'm sure you know that sis."
The joy in Lola's voice. My breathing was becoming hard and choked.
"There, there, relax", Lola said, pulling me into a pretentious hug again.
Flashbacks came rushing in, my head ached but I could remember now, I remembered everything.
“And that was it, sis, I did this out of love...so easy, and turning everyone, including Luke against you, was not even as hard as I thought. Turned out you meant nothing to him, not even worth a fight or an argument." Lola finished up her whole, should I say, confession to me.
I pushed her off me as soon as she was done and I could see the way she kept smiling and could notice how it felt like she was romanticizing the game she had played. I agree I must have been stupid to want to trust that wrench.
"Fuck you Lola", My breath hitched as I turned around and walked out, all eyes were on me. The embarrassment I felt was wild cause it was already news to everyone that we were together but the wedding was a secret so everything was not so complicated, "But why would he do this to me? Montana, the one he said he loves and swore to protect".
I tried holding back my tears but some of the gazes fixed on me were that of pity or sadness, some happy, some giving mixed feelings and I just, I just...
The tears finally rolled down from my eyes, as I sniffed and turned around wanting to leave this place.
"Look at her acting like some saint who has never done anything wrong and is so innocent", Lola scoffed and said for Luke to hear her.
"Should have listened to my parents unless I would have made such a horrible mistake getting mated and married to a whore, I never even wanted her, she was just a naive girl, wanting love and attention that she fell right into my paws and I pounced on her, cause why not", Luke agreed and Lola rubbed his chest while his hands were wrapped around her waist and her head on his shoulder, "Thanks for saving me darling, come... it's our wedding day and we should make it memorable", Luke suggested and of course Lola happily agreed.
I ran back home immediately. I had heard it all, breath shaky, naive girl. I busted the door open, running inside with no brake whatsoever until I was stopped by the couples in front of me, My father and stepmother Grace. They seemed to have been fully dressed and were heading for the occasion, "what is happening Dad?", I asked feeling very confused and tired.
"What is happening is that you should have kept your legs shut instead of going around like a whore", He threw some pictures at me out of anger, "What a disgrace you have been to this family and will always be and I can not keep letting you bring this family down", My father yelled at me and walked out while I bent to the floor, picking up the pictures and staring at them, my mouth agape.
"H-how-", I stuttered, "T-these pics- I don't understand".
"How would you understand?", Grace walked up to me, purposely stepping on my fingers that were on the floor.
I groaned from the pain, "If you attempt to remove that hand of yours, whatever next you get will be far much worse. You deserve every pain and hate that you are getting sweetheart cause you are simply a mistake that was never supposed to happen".
I winced as more tears pulled from my eyes.
"Grace? Darling?!", I heard my father call out for her as she smiled and looked towards his direction, "Coming honey, just needed to bless this girl with some knowledge".
Grace finally removed her heels and my hand could finally breathe again, "You are just like your mother".
"I thought I raised you better but you choose to follow your mother's footsteps. You are indeed a mistake", I heard my father's voice say as his footsteps got closer. He took my stepmother's hand and left with her and that was the last thing he said to me as they left me all alone.
I was already having an attack, my insides, and my chest were on fire, and I couldn't breathe. I rushed to check the pictures more clearly and that's when it dawned on me.
This person looked nothing like Luke, "A stranger, though he look exactly like the man i had mistakenly entered his car earlier", I whispered, my whole form already weak and disoriented.
The l
ast I could see was black as I fainted. Welcoming the darkness.
CHAPTER 150AUTHOR'S POV "What was all an act?", Zendaya asked him, confused."I do not hate you Zendaya, you are not a monster and I know your kind exists, and that is because I have met one," Alexander informed her."Go on," Zendaya said to him, clearly wanting to know more, "What is his or her name? I want to know if I know the person.""You do not, it was a long time ago, I did not let my dad know they existed because I knew this is what he will do. I love him, but his obsession with winning and being known, being top one of everything makes him more selfish, even to me.," Alexander explained to Zendaya and all of a sudden, started uncuffing her."I am upset though that you were not truthful with me, I do not hate you, I just wish you had told me," he said to her softly as he uncuffed her fully and she hugged him tightly."I am so sorry", her eyes started getting filled up with tears, "I was scared, scared you would fear me or not want me."Alexander unde
CHAPTER 149AUTHOR'S POV Zendaya could see her brother was happy for her, but would he be when he learns that her mate is human?But before telling him, she wanted to see Alexander, just In case, Zane would not let her if he finds out her mate is human, and she would not know when she would be able to come out and meet with him, "Before I say more, I need to ask for a favor. If you do this for me, I will forgive you totally for your betrayal.""I do not like the sound of this," Zane said, eyeing his sister suspiciously."Can't you just do this one thing for me? Do I really have to beg you to- just never mind", Zendaya said, her happy face changing, "Just forget it, I guess I can't ask you for anything.""Stop, you can, you know you can, but it better not be risky", Zane sighed, falling for her trap with love, "Fine tell me.">>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Zane had agreed, and now Zendaya was on her way to Alexander's house. She was going to surprise him, she j
CHAPTER 148AUTHOR'S POV "I want to see how red you are," Alexander said, but the way he said it sounded so sexy that Zendaya had to bite her lips and hummed.She was a werewolf, these things happen, even if she is just seventeen, but she is turning eighteen and is totally normal for her to meet and be with her mate."Fine, you better don't tease me more. I bet you are even blushing more than me," she said to him as she agreed, and they switched to video call."Hey!", he said and Zendaya just looked away shyly while blushing."Hi," she said softly."Have I told you how cute you are?", Alexander asked her, a smile lingering on his lips. There was just this way he looked at her, adored her, paid attention to her and what she said."As a matter of fact, yes mister, you have," Zendaya answered a bit more confidently than before."You are cute," He said it again, enjoying her reaction, the way her eyes lit up softly, and she smiled. He just loved the way he could
CHAPTER 147AUTHOR'S POVZendaya blinked softly and wiped off the tears that rolled down her face, "Yes," she said in a whisper."Good, that settles it", Lincoln concluded, ending the chapter of the whole argument there."Zen-", Zane tried to reach out for her, but she moved away from him."Don't, I hope you are happy, you are never punished," She said and then excused herself, before leaving the dining room."Zendaya?", Zane called out to her, but she ignored him and went up to her room.He sighed and sat back down. He didn't mean for it to come out this way? He just-he did not even know how to explain why he decided to tell their parents."Don't worry, just give her sometime, she will come around," Montana said to Zane, but Zane was sure that Zendaya was upset and disappointed in her, just by the look of pain in her eyes.In Zendaya's room, she locked the door and stayed inside, crying, she wiped her face but still, the tears kept flowing profusely, "They ju
CHAPTER 146AUTHOR'S POV Zane had a straight face all along as he said to his sister, "Watch me.""Zane please", Zendaya grabbed his arm, softly, stopping him and pleading, "please don't tell them, I already apologized for scaring you or making you worry."Her eyes pleaded too, this was the first time she had done something like this, plus she did not want anyone finding out about anything for now."Just got to bed", Zane sighed and left."Aish", Zendaya hissed and ruffled her hair. She was really hoping and praying her brother doesn't tell their parents tomorrow.Throughout the night, it was a bit hard for Zendaya to sleep. She kept thinking and thinking about Alexander and the kiss they shared, Goddess, her brain, and body were on fire.She had informed him when she had gotten home though, they did not talk about the kiss but just short talks about reaching home, and going to bed, things like that.When Zendaya was finally able to sleep, she slept like
CHAPTER 145AUTHOR'S POV With a silent grace, Alexander moved closer, his gaze fixed on her, "I should just do this, I can't pretend anymore," he said to himself through his mind.He had been holding back his feelings and tonight, she just took his breath away with the way she looked, the fun they had together and everything. She was the one.He just knew it.Alexander reached for her and pulled her softly. With a gentle tug, he pulled her closer, his touching making her shiver a bit through her spine.Zendaya turned, startled at the sudden contact, only to find herself face to face with Alexander. As she recognized him, her eyes widened, her breath fanning against his, her heart beating.As their lips brushed against each other's in a tantalizing tease, it sent a surge of electricity coursing through Zendaya's body, even Alexander, who seemed to be trying to stay in control. Zendaya sucked in a sharp breath. Soon with trembling hands, they drew closer, thei
