How could it be Alexander?!

The room started to spin.

The department head pulled the string on another popper and announced enthusiastically,

"Let's welcome our new CEO, Alpha Alexander!"

That's when I noticed Sophie wasn't with him. She wasn't here.

People around me started whispering.

"This Alpha is so intimidating… but so hot!"

Ryan nudged me. "I still think my Alpha is more beautiful."

I shot him a glare.

"That's bullshit!"

My Alpha is far more handsome, my inner wolf bristled.

Ryan looked baffled by my sudden outburst.

"Hey, what's your problem?"

I clapped a hand over his mouth, trying my best to shrink into the background and mask my scent with blockers.

Even though this body didn't look much like my old one at first, after three years, the resemblance was growing.

Thank God I wore a mask today.

Alexander had only glanced my way when he came in. He hadn't looked at me since.

He definitely didn't recognize me.

That night, the department head organized a team dinner to welcome the

  • I'll Trade Myself for Your Peace   Chapter 10

    The morning sun cut through the dark room like a knife.When I woke up, there was a heavy weight on top of me.I opened my eyes to Alexander's face, inches from mine.My phone screen was lit up. It was already nine.I bolted upright, the sudden movement waking the Alpha beside me.He lazily peeled his eyes open and with a long stretch of his arm, easily pulled me back into his embrace, pinning me with an irresistible Alpha force."Sleep a little longer," he murmured, his voice husky and impossibly sexy from sleep.Seeing the bite mark I'd left on his arm in my passion last night, my face flushed hot."I-I'm going to be late!"Alexander's grip loosened slightly, and I slipped out of bed like an eel, rushing into the bathroom.I heard his low chuckle from behind me, followed by a contented sigh."I don't remember you ever being this passionate about work."In the bathroom mirror, I saw my body was covered in love bites, from my collarbone down to my waist.Looked like I’d be wearing a tu

  • I'll Trade Myself for Your Peace   Chapter 9

    "How could you do that to her?!" I demanded, not even realizing my voice was shaking.Alexander slowly looked up. A flash of surprise crossed his eyes when he saw it was me, but it was quickly replaced by that dead calm."She's suffered so much, and it's all because of you! How could you just stand by and do nothing?!"I let all my anger and disappointment pour out.He just watched me quietly, like I was a child throwing a tantrum.He waited until I was done before he spoke."Are you standing up for her," he stated, not asked, "or are you just angry that I didn't turn out to be the 'devoted' Alpha you imagined?"His words struck me dumb.My heart stopped for a second, then started hammering against my ribs, trying to escape."You…"He’d known it was me all along.He started walking toward me, one step at a time.Useless.Two lifetimes, two different bodies, no blood relation to Alexander whatsoever.Yet I was completely pinned by his Alpha bloodline.I learned today that even running a

  • I'll Trade Myself for Your Peace   Chapter 8

    Alexander was a ghost that wouldn't leave, though technically, I was the real ghost here.If I went to the cafeteria for lunch, he’d sit at the table across from me.If I bought a coffee, he’d get one too, then drink it alone in a corner.It was infuriating.One day, I finally had a day without seeing him. I asked Ryan to go to the barbecue place across the street, ready to pig out.The meat had just hit the grill when Alexander pushed the door open.Ryan was stuffing his face across from me. He glanced up just in time to see me sitting bolt upright."Why aren't you eating?""...You go ahead."He grinned like an ass."Don't mind if I do."Then he swept the honey sauce and all the grilled meat in front of me onto his plate.A tall shadow fell over our table.A new plate of freshly grilled meat, slathered in honey, was placed in front of me."Eat."I looked up at Alexander, a sudden urge to cry welling up inside me.Gritting my teeth, I grabbed Ryan’s arm."Thanks, but my boyfriend can g

    Elena's POVIn another wing of the manor, Alexander's parents were at their wits’ end."None of the doctors can help.""It's like he's lost his soul. Maybe… the Moon Goddess's sanctuary can do something."I never thought I'd wake up again.I was in a dim, rented room.On the table was a job offer letter.The name on it was "Elena."I was reborn in the body of an Omega orphan who happened to share my name.My new body didn't look much like my old one.She was a rogue, with no parents, who had fought her way up from the slums.Her life was a blank slate. It felt like a gift from the Moon Goddess herself.This city was a world away from the one I used to live in.In a twisted way, everything I had prayed for had come true. My sacrifice had worked: Sophie was alive. Alex could finally be with her and be happy.The price… was that we would never see each other again.It took a long time for me to calm down.The red cord holding the shattered amulet was still resting quietly in my palm.I

  • I'll Trade Myself for Your Peace   Chapter 5

    Alexander's POVAlexander’s mind screamed at him, but his body had already moved.His Alpha instinct was a beast off its leash, dragging him toward the bridge.He saw Sophie.She was collapsed at the edge of the bridge, soaking wet, screaming Elena’s name.Why was she screaming Elena’s name?An icy fist closed around Alexander’s heart.He shoved savagely through the crowd and rushed to the railing.There was nothing below. Just the black, angry sea.His Omega. The girl he’d brought home. She was gone.No.She was supposed to be at home, waiting for him to bring back cupcakes from her favorite bakery, her favorite treat.She wasn't supposed to be... swallowed by this damned sea.Sophie told him everything.Through her tears, she said Elena had saved her."When I jumped, she fought with all her strength to pull me up… but she… she fell instead…""She said… if I died, you’d miss me for the rest of your life. She didn’t want you to be that sad."The air was punched from Alexander’s lungs.
