Chapter 25: you look a mess

Penulis: Gwen hywfar

~∆~ Mariah's POV ~∆~

I can hear them talking through the walls.

Not the specific words, my hearing isn't supernatural like theirs, but I can hear the rise and fall of their voices, Rain sounds angry. Really angry. And Luna sounds... hurt.

I pace my apartment, trying not to eavesdrop but unable to help myself. These people are planning to help me fight the two monsters who've been terrorizing me.

But they're clearly dealing with their own family drama. Drama that somehow involves me, since Luna telling me about the mate bond seems to have set Rain off.

Part of me wants to march over there and demand answers. The other part wants to lock my doors and pretend none of this is happening. That I'm still just a graphic designer with normal human problems.

But I can't pretend anymore. Especially not after tonight. Not after seeing what Ethan can do, and what Natasha is willing to do to destroy me.

I stop walking up and down. I look around my apartment. At the silver doorframes and the bottle

  • My Alpha Next Door    Chapter 26: Answer me, Ethan!

    ~∆~ Ethan's POV ~∆~She would have easily been mine. If not for that bastard!I stand in the crowd, watching as Mariah desperately follows the paramedics wheeling Rain's unconscious body toward the ambulance. Her sobs pierce through the noise of the dispersing crowd. She looked so heartbroken for him, and that made me and my wolf restless and angry.She's crying for him. Actually crying, like her heart is being torn out of her chest. Her hands are pressed against the ambulance windows as they load his stretcher inside, and she's calling his name over and over like some pathetic hag which she was."Rain! Please, let me come with you! Rain!"The paramedic says something to her, explaining to her that only family can ride in the ambulance. And she crumples against the side of the vehicle like her legs couldn't hold her up anymore.I wasn't completely sure before, but now I am. Those two are mates. That's why she's reacting this way, why that wasted excuse for an Alpha can't stay away fr

  • My Alpha Next Door    Chapter 26: Come on boys

    ~∆~ Rain's POV ~∆~The scoreboard glares down at us like a judgment of our failure: Chicago Blackhawks 2, Boston Red Wings 4.Two minutes left in the third period, and we're losing badly. The crowd is getting restless, their disappointed murmurs ringing through the United Center. "Come on, boys!" Jackson shouts from behind me as we set up for the face-off. "We've been in worse spots than this!"Have we though? I can feel the pain of every missed shot, every failed play, every moment where I should have been better, faster, stronger. The news outlets are going to have a field day with this. They'll blame everything on me, the new guy, the trade acquisition who was supposed to be their secret weapon."Cross!" Coach Tom's voice sounds through the arena noise from the bench. "Stop thinking and start playing!"Easier said than done when your mind is split between the game and everything else falling apart in your life."Focus, Rain," I mutter as I line up for the face-off.The ref drops

  • My Alpha Next Door    Chapter 24: I killed him

    ~∆~ Rain's POV ~∆~When Mariah closes her apartment door behind us, I turn on my older sister with all the anger I've been holding in."What the hell do you think you're doing?!" I snap.Luna raises an eyebrow, completely unfazed by my tone. She's always been the calm one in our family, who could stare down our father when he was in full Alpha rage. "I think I'm helping you, little brother. Something you seem incapable of doing for yourself. You should thank me.""Helping?" I scoff. "You call telling her she's my mate helping? You had no right to do that, Luna. No fucking right.""Oh, I had no right?" Her voice rises slightly, the first tear in her composed facade, "So what was your plan, Rain? Keep denying it? Keep letting her think she's crazy for feeling the pull? Keep letting that bastard Ethan manipulate both of you because you're too scared to admit the truth?"Her words hit home, but I'm too angry to back down. "You don't know anything about my situation. You left, remember? Y

  • My Alpha Next Door    Chapter 23: Remove those bastards

    ~∆~ Mariah's POV ~∆~I can't believe this is my life right now. What the actual fuck is happening with my life right now?Why am I standing in the hallway with my neighbor who I just found is a werewolf? Why am I planning some kind of supernatural revenge against my abusive ex-fiancé and Rain's crazy ex?A month ago, my biggest problem was choosing between color schemes for a client's website. Now I'm apparently under the protection of a pack I didn't even know existed."I don't understand any of this," I say, slumping against my doorframe. "I don't understand why Ethan targeted me in the first place. I don't understand why Natasha is so obsessed with Rain. I don't understand why I'm in the middle of some supernatural war I never asked to be part of."Luna steps closer, and I am not going to there's something about her presence that's oddly comforting. If it had been just Rain, I would have freaked out.Maybe it's because she was the first person to offer me help without expecting a

  • My Alpha Next Door    Chapter 22: I am not a wolf

    ~∆~ Rain's POV ~∆~My heart pounds when I see Luna standing in the hallway with Mrs. Chenel and a shaking Mariah.What is my older sister, who left our pack seven years ago to build her own life in the human world doing here? I haven't seen her in months, not since our last awkward coffee meeting where we barely talked about anything real."What are you doing here, Sister?" I ask, my voice tense.Luna's eyes became soft as she looked at me, then at Mariah, who was still wrapped in Mrs. Chenel's arms. "I came to check on her," she says. "She came to my store yesterday. She looked scared, desperate. I could smell the fear on her. I thought she was in trouble so I wanted to help."I watch as understanding dawns in Mariah's tear-filled eyes. She's putting the pieces together, realizing that Luna isn't just some random supernatural store owner who happened to help her."I've been watching her since then," Luna continues. "When I heard the commotion, I knew I had to intervene."Mrs. Chene
