Inez’s POVI stretched, my hand touching the bed frame and I quickly sat up. Slowly, I opened my eyes, finding myself on the bed.For as long as I do remember, I fell asleep on the floor and there was it. Unless someone came in here and helped me up.But I would have felt it. I did.I slept throughout the night, like a child with no worries but now I am up, I have a lot to worry about, a lot to take care of before life takes its toll on me.I brushed back my hair with my bare hands, putting it up in a ponytail style before standing up. The first thing I did was let up the curtains and then made the bed. It is something I have been doing since I was staying alone. On days that I miss doing this, the. Agnes is surely around. After that, I picked out a red gown from the closet which I had found there.I kept it on the bed, before dashing into the bathroom. The bathroom was decorated in all white, and a toilet, sink, shower system, and hot and cold water supply. It also features a batht
Alpha Liam’s POV.“Alpha Lance is around the border of the pack.” Savio informed.I hummed, I have been waiting for a day like this, when he will find out that I didn’t bring back Inez, rather I took her to the Dark Wood. “Lead him here.” I ordered.Ever since Marilyn returned to the pack, I have moved to the part of the pack house. It is the part that my father used for his private meetings or when he wants to run away from reality and I love it.It brings back memories of when I was a kid. “I will have a guard lead him here because I have other things to do here.” He said.Then, Savio ordered a guard that stood by the door, telling him to bring Lance directly to the side. “Did Marilyn do anything yet?” I asked.The Marilyn I know should yet be up to something. She would never be clear, not when she is a corny witch. “Not really. She is safe for now.” He mumbled.“I think the meeting didn’t have much impact on those Involved.” I furrowed my brows, not getting what he meant. “I mean
Inez’s POV“You are Phineas’s mate?” Alpha Dorian asked.He doesn’t seem surprised. Maybe he had an idea about it, maybe he is just complaining. “Yes.” I answered.He pressed his hands together, looking straight as we walked. “And you have two more mates?” He asked again.Nothing would make me believe that this man doesn’t have eyes everywhere. How would he know? News does travel fast but this is so fast that it has reached another pack.But would it reach father? Would he have an idea that I am still alive? I couldn’t answer, I had no idea what to respond with.It feels so awkward. “What are the both of you doing together?” Alpha Phineas’s voice roared around the room, shaking me off the edge.“Phineas boy, I was just having a word with Inez since you didn’t bring her to me.” Alpha Dorian uttered.I stayed glued to the floor, looking between Alpha Phineas and his father. “Don’t you have something to do Inez?” He furrowed his brows.I scratched the back of my head, staring straight in
Alpha Phineas’s POV.Angrily, he stomped to his room, fighting his wolf for agreeing to live under the same roof as his father. Three years back when he got the title of an Aloha, he had wanted to leave the house and build a new pack house to his taste.But his wolf was against it, he had reasoned that the pack will also be divided if he does that. “Fuck that old man.” He cursed, running a hand through his hair.Just like how he loves going into the skirt of ladies or rather, Hailey’s alone, his father is also that way and he won’t be surprised if his father is after his mate for that. “Don’t accuse your father of such.” His wolf warned.He let out a hissing sound, getting rid of his training gear that was stained with blood from the guard earlier, dumping everything aside. “All this wouldn’t have happened if I had moved to a new house.” He ranted.“But the pack is still intact. Besides, I don’t see why your father would be after your mate. He is better than that.” His wolf said again
In a quaint, secluded village, a chilling legend lurks in the shadows. When the full moon rises, a bloodthirsty creature stalks the streets, leaving behind a trail of mutilated corpses. The locals whisper tales of a dark family secret, but no one dares to venture into the woods at night to uncover the truth. No one has ever attempted to do it for they are scared of what the outcome of their living would be. The bloodthirsty creatures roared, causing the kids to shiver, and the adults to hold back their tears as they prayed for safety.For years, it has always been that way at night and the people of the pack have learned to live up to it but the fear of what could happen to them if something goes wrong. The myth said it is that perhaps, it isn’t the dark family secret but rather, their old Alpha is cursed to be a beast. The world has seen scenarios where the Alphas become cursed and then, a rule will be laid out for the peace of the pack.But theirs is a lot more than that. They are
Inez’s POVNever in her life had she imagined that Alpha Phineas would do much to her. If one had been told that Alpha Lance will put her up in a situation like that then she would have agreed.That corny man is far more than what others think of him. “Next time, you wouldn’t be a bitch.” Alpha Phineas started letting her go.She coughed out loudly, her throat swollen from the pain of what she had just endured. “And mind you, you might be my mate but know your place around the pack.” He gritted, walking out on her with his Beta trailing behind.Inez choked on her tears, she was heartbroken, pained and all. None of her mates rates her and they would never rate her. She placed her face on the floor as she cried more, ignoring the fact that she wasn’t the only one in the living room.The maid was still standing by her side, watching whatever she did with a smile on her face. “I guess you know your place now.” The maid said satisfied.“Even the one you claim to be your mate doesn’t like
Inez’s POVFalling asleep wasn’t part of her plans. She was meant to have fled away as soon it was midnight and then everyone around the pack is fast asleep.Yet she ended up sleeping herself and for that, she began to hate herself for doing so. She would have been far away from the pack now and she would have been happy. Slowly, she took her body off the bed and stayed by the balcony, looking at the sunrise and whatever was occurring in the pack house.It was peaceful until she sighted that same lady she had seen the first day she had been in the pack house, the lady was talking to the only person she had considered a friend since the girl was nice to her.Nelly squeezed her face due to what the lady had probably said before walking away. The lady screamed out Nelly’s name, calling her back but all to no avail. Nelly walked off, her hands akimbo as she used the other door to the pack house kitchen.And that made Inez more interested in knowing who the lady is. The last time she saw
Alpha Liam’s POV. His throat welcomes a burn from a swing of scotch. No matter how many times he had drunk it, he never gets to it. The tingly and bitter taste stayed in his throat, making him regret his decision of drinking in the middle of the day. “Drowning yourself by drinking alcohol isn’t an option.” A feminine voice from his back said and he let out a huff. “What brought you here?” he asked, without even turning back. His step sister, Marilyn dragged out a chair, sitting by his side. Helping herself, she poured out a half cup of the scotch, drowning everything down her throat at once which made him wonder if she is truly okay. Even him as a man, he wouldn’t drown down something that bitters without have a reaction. “What do you want?” he asked again, twirling the empty cup in his hand. “I just came to check on how my favorite brother is keeping up. Especially when I know he is under pressure of trying to find out why I am back.” She mocked. He felt the bitter bile from his
