Chapter 19Alexa's POVHe looks at me, his eyes filled with hurt. I wanted to burst into tears over what I'm about to do, but I held on to my last bit of resolve, my eyes filled with determination.“Let it go, Ace, I said I'm fine,” I say coldly. “Come on Kira, let's go,” I said to my handmaiden, and together we left a confused and dumbstruck Ace in the hallway. I walk into my room and Kira shut the door behind us. I willed myself not to cry in front of her. “Luna? Let me help you out of your clothes, or you will catch a cold,” she says worriedly.I nod, and she helps me to the bathroom, where I take off my nightgown and change into a new set of red nightwear Kira brought out of my closet for me. She leads me to sit on a chair and used a clean towel to dry my dripping hair. All this while, I just sit and stare into space like a statue.“You look pale, Luna, should I get you a cup of warm tea?” she asks.“No,” I mumbled weakly. I don't think I can stomach anything right now. All I w
Chapter 20Alpha Kai's POVI can't believe this.Ace is really doing all this just to spend more time with that lowlife.I had thought Ace was just being nice to her out of pity, that was why I decided to get her off his back for his own good. As the Beta of the biggest and most feared pack, he can't be seen associating himself with someone like her, someone almost human, if this gets out, we will be the laughingstock among other packs. Why can't he just accept that I'm doing this for his own good?I remember what he was asking for. We had been at war with another pack three months ago, and I had gone on an official trip, leaving the pack in the hands of Ace. The pack was under attack and Ace had single-handedly handled everything in my absence. I was so proud when I returned and got the news that I had told him to ask for anything he wanted, and I would grant his request.I remember his exact words were 'I have everything I need right now brother, but when the time comes, and I want
Chapter 21Alexa's POVI wake up feeling very exhausted. I had exhausted all my energy by crying myself to sleep the previous day. I stand up from my bed and groggily walk to my dressing table. The sight of my reflection staring back at me startled me. My hazel eyes are red and swollen and my cheeks are all puffy. I packed my long black hair to one side of my shoulder. The mating mark on the crook of my neck has stopped bleeding but still hasn't healed. I've only been in the pack for a day, but I'm already feeling so exhausted.I knew the Alpha would hate me after finding out the truth, but I didn't expect the hatred to be to this extent. Everybody hates and rejects me after finding out the truth. But not Ace, a small voice at the back of my mind whispered. I smiled at the thought. Yes, not Ace. He's the only one who truly accepted me the way I am. But what did you do? The voice whispered again. I pushed him away. Tears well up in my eyes again. What am I going to know? How am I goi
Chapter 22 Alpha Kai's POV “Come in,” I ordered, responding to the knock that reverberated in my chambers. I sat up from my bed, which had been changed as per my orders. The chief walked in. “Good morning, Alpha,” he greets. “Morning,” I mutter, staring at him intently trying to find out why he was here so early. “Alpha, most of the pack members are all having breakfast outside together with the Luna,” he says. “So? What does it have to do with me?” I ask harshly. He looks taken aback by my harsh response for a minute before responding, “It has everything to do with you Alpha, it's the day after your mating ceremony, and you have to introduce the Luna to your pack and bond through breakfast, it has always been done that way,” he explains. “What about what I told you to look into? Have you done it?” I ask, ignoring his words. He looks at me speechlessly as if he couldn't believe what was going on right now. “Well?” I probed expecting an answer. “Yes Alpha, I have each of the
Chapter 23Alexa's POVMy entire arm is throbbing in pain from the way the Alpha is gripping me tightly. My hand was on fire I thought my bones were completely crushed. But I keep a normal face even though all I want to do is scream loudly in pain. Beads of sweat appeared on my forehead. I could not bear it anymore, so I tried to wiggle my hand free. That turned out to be a big mistake. The Alpha held my hand tighter under the table and kept chatting with his pack members with a straight face.They all kept laughing and making jokes, completely oblivious to the severe pain I was feeling. They even discussed an heir and the Alpha agreed. Which got me confused and nervous.How can there be an heir when the Alpha doesn't even want to see my face? I have to do something to get the Alpha to notice me, or else all my plans are going to fall through. The Alpha excused himself to go to his office. He let go of my hand with disgust and wiped his hand thoroughly with the napkin before standing
Chapter 24Alexa's POVI stare at him confused. He must have noticed my confused expression, so he had to repeat himself.“Do you want to ride me?” he asked again.“W…what?” I stutter. What does he mean by that? My heart starts racing as lewd thoughts and images start coming into my mind. The room suddenly got a lot hotter. I can feel myself sweating.“What are you thinking so hard about?” he asks curiously. His eyes suddenly widened in realization.“Oh no! That was not what I meant, it came out the wrong way. What I mean is, do you want to ride on my wolf,” he explains hurriedly.“Really,” I replied dumbly, letting out a shaky breath.“Yes, what sort of thoughts is running through your mind?” he asks in amusement.My cheeks flushed bright red in embarrassment. What the hell was I thinking about?“I never knew my friend had such naughty thoughts, this is new,” he says, smiling at me mischievously.I used the book I was reading to cover my embarrassed face from his view, hoping the gro
Chapter 25Alpha Kai's POVI am taking a walk outside with the Chief and discussing my plans for the selection process. I had already decided I would have the ball on the same day as my birthday. I had also chosen the girl I wanted from the files the chief sent to my office. I decided the best woman suited to be by my side was Luna. The ball is only still being held just for formalities to host the people who had already been invited. I was looking at the Chief and explaining everything I wanted to happen at the ball with him when I suddenly felt someone bump into me, stopping me abruptly from what I'm saying. I looked down at the floor to see who it was that was blind enough not to see me coming.Alexa again! I glare at her, irritated. Was she deaf when I asked her to stay far away from me? Or is she just too dumb to comprehend what I said? I look down at her pathetically laying on her back. I take in her appearance. Her white gown is dirty and muddy, and her hair looks ruffled and
Chapter 26Alexa's POV“My lady,” Kira gasped immediately as I walked into my room. “My lady, what happened? You look......,” she trailed, looking at my soiled clothes.“I'm fine Kira, I just fell somewhere,” I say taking a seat on my bed but standing up immediately, not wanting to soil the neatly made bed with my dirty and wet clothes.“You fell? Are you okay? Did you get hurt?” she fusses. Her eyes worriedly searched my body for any sign of injuries.“There's no need to fuss, Kira, I'm perfectly fine,” I replied amused. “All I need right now is a warm bath,” I told her, taking a look at my dirty clothes.“I will get it ready right away,” she replies and rushes to the bathroom. I stand, pacing all over the room. I walked to the window to see that the pack was as lively as usual. Children were sitting under the moonlight with their families, playing and chatting happily. A smile curved on my lips watching the heart-warming sight.“My lady, your warm bath is ready,” she informs me.“
