Alec couldn’t speak in too much irritation and probably, anger. His eyes were so red, like the color of evil itself. The color of blood and war. The color of death. Yes, red can symbolize love like that of a rose. But it could symbolize many things such as what I have mentioned already.I know what I am doing is a big risk, but I have to try regardless. I need to save the innocent lives of those people who chose to stand by my side. They don’t deserve death like that especially when Alec is the one serving it. He is evil. His soul—if ever he has one which I doubt—deserves to rot in hell all together with his evil subordinates, especially Vienna. If only I am given a chance, I will really kill her. With the anger I am feeling for her, I won’t miss it for sure. She is just lucky that I am not capable enough to do that especially with the given circumstance. Because if only I was capable enough and there is no Alec blocking my way, I would have surely done it, given of course with the he
After one month…As soon as I got out of bed I immediately felt nauseous. I quickly run towards the bathroom. I grabbed my hair and vomited on the sink.Early in the morning this is what happened. So I couldn't help but doubt that Lili's suspicion was true. From what I've heard, pregnant women sometimes have morning sickness.I heard the bathroom door open, I no longer bothered to look back because I was busy vomiting. No one enters my room without asking for permission first except Calix."Lory," his voice was soft.I thought he already left last night but here he is, fueling my irritation again."Why are you here? Get out! I don't need you here! You should leave me!"I tried to get out but he just blocked me. With our body's closeness, I can smell his manly perfume. I inhaled his scent. It's so fragrant I feel like I want to smell you all night.But I tried to ignore the feeling of wanting to hug and smell him all day."Don't block my way, Calix!"He sighed. A ghost of smile plaster
Tears of joy rolled down my cheeks when I read what is written in the invitation delivered to me. Calix, who was carrying our little girl in his arms, went to me with an alarmed face when he saw my expression.“What is wrong?”I shook my head and smiled. “I’m just happy.”“Happy about what?”His eyes drifted to the invitation card I was holding.“Jaxon is getting married to his mate?” His gaze went back to me and I saw his worried face as if something is wrong with me, or that I feel bad about it and he wants to comfort me or something.“Yes.” Whoever this Lea is, I am happy that she filled the hollow part in Jaxon's heart. He is such a good man and I have been waiting for this day to come. For him to be finally happy again. For him to be loved again the way he deserves to be. And I feel so glad that I couldn’t help but burst to tears.“You are upset because he’s getting married,” Calix stated in a calm voice as if he understood clearly that I love another man aside from him.“No! I d
“What is this? Still shying on me?” he asked in a chilly tone that made me shiver.I was sitting at the edge of the bed of that dimly lit room staring at nowhere when he entered without a warning. It was reasonable to have him freely walk around the house. After all it was his residence, his room… his bed.But when he started making his way to me, I moved back a little which made him stop and had his dark eyes narrowing at me.“Can we stop this game, Loraine? You know you can’t avoid me forever, don’t you?”I looked away. Of course, I knew that.How could a powerless woman like myself run from my own husband, especially one that held power of an alpha?
“I’ve met my mate, Lory.”As if what my father said earlier wasn’t enough, Jacob’s words added fuel to the fire. It was like a bomb to me. With my family forcing me to offer myself to the new alpha, I thought I could find my way out of it through him.We had been in a relationship for two years now. As someone from a family of omega serving those in the upper class, Jacob’s status hindered us from being out in public. Dad would kill me if he found out I was associating myself with a boy of lower status. So we loved each other secretly, waiting for the right time to tell everyone what was between us.But now I didn’t think that was possible. Earlier this morning during breakfast, Dad said the alpha asked for five ladies of marriageable age from the most respected families in the pack where he’d be choosing a wife prospect after a thorough screening. Dad informed me he'd be submitting my name in the registry and it wasn’t something negotiable.After hearing it, my mind went haywire to t
“Would you like some tea, Miss?” asked our head maid, Martha, when I woke up the next morning.“Has Dad left?”Growing up, I only had Dad and my younger sister, Roselle. Mom died giving birth to Rose when I was only six, which didn’t give me a chance to have fond memories of her. I could even barely recall how she looked in my memories and if not for the pictures she left, time would have swept out everything that was left in the mind of a young child.I looked at the clock on the wall and saw it was already eight. Dad had surely left for work. As one of the trusted betas of a huge district pack, he had a lot of responsibilities on his shoulders.“Why didn’t you wake me up? I promised Rose I’ll accompany her in meeting her new tutor.”“Um, you slept so late last night, Miss. I thought you might need more rest since yesterday didn’t go well…” Martha trailed off, looking at my face wearily. The buckets of tears I shed last night must be obvious with my puffy eyes now.“Miss Rose also to
“Make sure not to make a single mistake, sweetheart. Am I clear enough?” Dad said with a gentle tone but the way he looked at me spoke warning.When we finally arrived at the Alpha’s residence, Dad held the car’s door for me and lent me a hand. The ends of my long dress touched the ground when I stepped out. It was a black dress with shining stones all over it. My long brown hair was elegantly done in updo with some curled strands purposely left around the corners of my face.We went inside the mansion with me holding Dad’s arm. I had always been trained to be a graceful flower for special occasions like this. Whenever Dad requested my presence in events, refusing wasn’t an option. So it wasn’t new to me.However, this time I found it hard to stay calm. I was anxious. The way most of the guests greeted and looked at us, it was like they were expecting I’d be one of the selected ladies. That giving me a spot was a given because I was Henry Sullivan’s daughter.And I hated it because I
Alpha Calix went in front to give a brief speech. He said it was the councilors’ idea to give him a homecoming party and although he didn’t like parties that much, he agreed because it was an opportunity for him to meet the district’s people as the new alpha.“And since everyone important is gathered here tonight, at the end of this evening, I will announce the five ladies I selected who are eligible to be my luna,” he added in his speech which made most ladies gasp in anticipation.“These five ladies will come to live in my mansion for a month. I will observe each of them for me to know who is the best candidate among them. The parents shouldn’t worry though. I will ensure these ladies will be treated as the princesses that they are, and I will sign an agreement to promise not to sully these ladies’ honor.”“Who cares if the Alpha sullies my honor? I would gladly offer myself to him if I’d be chosen!”I heard giggles behind me and I wasn’t surprised how these girls could throw themse
