After getting betrayed and killed by her mate and step sister, Hailey is fortunately reborn. In her quest for revenge, she's given two rules. The first is; no one should know about her rebirth and the second is; she isn't allowed to fall in love. Breaking of either of these rules comes with serious repercussions. Hailey is fine with the rules until she meets him. Alpha Carter. The man who managed to break her walls. Will Hailey's feelings jeopardize her quest for revenge? Or will it lead her into a much bigger problem?
View MoreCARTERAfter addressing the elders and coming to an agreement with them, Hailey and I headed home."How did you know where I was?" She asked as we drove home."I always know where to find you. I have my ways," I replied with a smile and then winked at her "So leaving me is not an option."We sat in silence with Hailey appearing to be in deep thoughts, but after a while she spoke up, "Why did you do that?""Do what?" I knew what she meant but I decided to play ignorant."Why did you show up suddenly and in front of the elders at that?" She asked, closely staring at me."Are you perhaps ashamed of me?" I asked, turning to face her as the car came to a halt because of the traffic light."Of course, not!" Hailey was quick to refute the claim, "You know that's not possible, Carter. I was just surprised to see you there," I chuckled at Hailey's cuteness. I knew she could never be ashamed of me. I was merely joking."Relax, I was just pulling your legs," I laughed, and then my face turned s
HAILEY"The council demands your presence urgently," The guard instructed seriously, and I nodded in response, following him immediately.I couldn't help but wonder why the council would suddenly request for my presence but weirdly enough, I had my suspicions but I didn't want to conclude so I got rid of every thought.The guard led me to the throne room, and with a bow he left me alone. I took a deep breath and then walked in. As expected, the room was filled, with only a spare sit which was obviously preserved for me."Sit," The senior elder spoke in a calm voice. I swallowed, my heart racing widely in my chest. Getting summoned by the elders was a nerve wrecking experience at it didn't happen quite a lot."It is my pleasure to be invited by this great council," I said, and thankfully, I didn't sound as nervous as I felt, "But if i may ask, to what do I owe you?""It is no longer news that your father, the Alpha of Deepwater pack has passed on," The senior elder began, "A pack as bi
HAILEYThe night with Carter was sleepless and no, it wasn't insomnia. Carter just didn't let me be. He took my request personally and devoured me until I had nothing left.I felt sore but in a good way. The ache between my legs reminded me of Carter's love for me.It only showed me how much he loved and craved me. How he couldn't resist me. It made me feel good about myself.I turned to the side and to my disappointment, Carter's side empty. I stretched my hand and felt the bed and it was cold to the touch.My countenance fell as I wanted to wake up next to him but when I turned to get out of bed, I spotted a small folded paper sitting on the bedside table.Curiously, I picked it up and opened it to read. The content of the letter made me tear up. In the letter, he expressed his intention of staying longer to watch me wake up but something urgent came up in the company that he had to handle.He also said how he wished to continue the events of last night and finally, he informed me t
CARTERAfter dinner with the family, Hailey and I left the premises. The drive back home was quiet as we were both consumed by our thoughts, simultaneously enjoying the comfortable silence that reigned between us.But despite being filled with thoughts about Xavier's intention to propose to Temmy, I couldn't help but wonder what was going through her mindSoon we got home and even after unwinding for the night, neither of us was yet to say a word. It made me worry. Perhaps, had mother said something she wasn't supposed to say?We laid in bed and I sneaked a glance at Hailey. From her facial expression, I couldn't deduce the problem so I decided to take the bull by the horn and ask, "You good?" I tried my best to sound as casual as possible, whilst resting my head on my plopped elbow."Yeah, I'm fine," She replied, and honestly, it didn't look like she was lying. It wasn't like she was trying to hide her emotions.I stared at Hailey for awhile before I finally pulled her closer into my
CARTERA few weeks had passed and everything had finally come back to normal. With Hailey by my side, the days seemed brighter and the flowers looked more beautiful. She made everything nice.Surprisingly, I received a call from mom, inviting us over to dinner with our mates but this time, unlike the last, I didn't feel anxious about it. Coincidentally, Xavier also received one too.It just felt nice, like a mother inviting her children over for dinner to spend quality time with them. Weirdly enough, I looked forward to it.In honour of the invitation, Hailey and I drove to her place in time for dinner and as if it was previously planned out, Xavier and Temmy reached exactly the same time. So together, we all walked in.My jaw dropped at the sight of the dining room. It was decorated to perfection as though a huge event was about to take place."What's going on here? Is there a party planned out?" I asked aloud, as I glanced around."Yes," Mother's voice came from behind, followed by
HAILEY"You're my mate!" Carter's words echoed in my head severally before it finally made sense."What?" I turned to him in shock. "Me? Your mate?" I chuckled unbelievably, "Did I hit my head and lose cognisance?""No, you didn't," Carter said softly, "And I'm also as surprised as you but Alanna seemed so sure.""Then how?" I asked, "I don't know if you've forgotten but I have a mate, Carter." I stared at him seriously, "though he wasn't the best but I think every wolf is only given a mate. You're probably mistaken,""I'm not," He sounded so sure, "I feel like it's the truth.""Why are you so sure?" I couldn't help but ask."Alanna said her only duty was to protect me and it seems right because truthfully," Carter swallowed, "You're the first person I'm telling this to but I've never really felt that connection with Alanna. I've only felt it with you.""Carter," I stared at him, unable to form words as his sudden confession knocked the air out of me."I'm dead serious, Hailey," He to
HAILEYI felt a cold sensation on my chest and then I stirred awake. My whole body ached and my eyes were blurry. How long had I been asleep?I tried to turn but something heavy around my waist was holding me in place.With the last strength I could muster, I stretched my body to have a proper look and the sight left me surprised.Carter had his arms wrapped safely around my waist and his head rested in the crook of my neck but that wasn't what surprised me.The problem was that Carter was covered in bandages and bruises like he had been in a fight. I could only wonder what happened while I was asleep.What was he even doing here? If I wasn't mistaken, I was sure as hell that I was in Xavier's place and over the last few days, since the blood moon night, Carter had avoided me like a plague because of Alanna. So why then was her here in the same bed with me, battered and bruised?Not wanting to wake him up, I tried to free myself from his grip but instead of letting go, Carter murmured
ALANNA"And if you don't make it in time, please return before the portal closes. We'll find another way," I clearly remembered the warning I had seriously given to Carter before he left for the realm of Diasceria but up until now, he was no where to be found."Carter is yet to return, and the time is far spent. What are we going to do?" Temmy asked, looking worried. I glanced at them and I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me that they were scared.What are we going to do?Surely, it's up to me to step in and salvage the situation and no, it wasn't because I was the one who sent him there, it's because it was my duty.I stared at Hailey, observing her closely, she looked peaceful and extremely beautiful even in her unconscious state.She didn't deserve to live without Carter, her mate as she had already suffered enough as it seemed. They didn't deserve to be apart from each other anymore.And yes, Hailey was really Carter's mate, not me. My only duty in his life was to bring Hailey to
CARTER"Well. Well. Well. Look who we have here!" I heard Malachi's voice and I turned to face him, his eyes blazed with malice and his voice dripped venom."What are you doing here?" I asked, surprised by his sudden appearance. How did he get access to this realm? What was his purpose of his visit?"I'm here for you," Malachi replied, smiling sinisterly. There was something different about him. It wasn't the Malachi I knew. It was as though there was something speaking inside of him. Like something else had taken over his body."Malachi, I do not have time for your games. Hailey is dying, I need to save her," I said with all seriousness, with hopes that Malachi would postpone his stupidity till the next time I was available."Fortunately for you, I'm not Malachi," He declaredI sighed in frustration, "Get out of the way, Malachi. I have important things to attend""I am Abidemi," He said, and I cocked my head in confusion. What kind of sick joke was this? Wasn't he supposed to be de
