LOGINALEXANDER.
The sun seeped into my eyes and I instantly flung them open. I was still in my car, two gates away from Tina’s home. I stayed here overnight. ‘Yep, she didn't come back,’ Tyrant said. “You didn't sleep?” I asked and he nodded. ‘I waited for her scent, until now, she hasn't come back.’ He yawned, his voice tired. What the hell?! Where did she go? I opened the car door and Tyrant came forward. ‘Where are you going?’ He asked. “To her house. Maybe Tina knows where she went?” I asked. ‘You are wearing the same clothes and shoes from yesterday, Tina will ask questions.’ He reminded me and I sighed. I had completely forgotten. ‘She might be in school.’ Tyrant added. I drove back home and showered before dressing for work. Being a professor was the best way to build my qualifications to be Beta. This was why I took the job and it actually paid off. In school, she was nowhere in sight. I went to every class she was supposed to have for the day yet she wasn't in any of them. “Where could she be?” I wondered again. Tyrant kept quiet for a second. ‘It is not like we care about her, we shouldn't care.’ he said. I nodded. He was right. “But she is human, we have to care because we are good people.” ‘Yes.’ he agreed. “Should we report to the border men? Do you think that is better?” I asked. ‘I think it is too much, wouldn't they wonder why and how we knew she was missing?’ “Does it matter? She ran out of the house and now she didn't come to school.” I sighed. ‘We have a meeting with the Alpha, let’s sort that out first.’ I nodded, picking my keys off the table. I got in my car and picked Tina up from the saloon. We would be seeing the Alpha together and also fixing the date for our wedding and Beta coronation. “Are you excited?” she asked. Excitement? No, I wasn't. I was going to be meeting my father for the first time in twenty-eight years, why should I be excited about that? “Yes,” I said without a smile, and she brought her hand to mine caressing my skin. “Did she come back?” I asked. “Who?” She asked making me glance at her. “Lana, she wasn't in class today.” “Oh, she probably went to fuck a man. She is just like her mother, fucking around before finding her mate. Pretty sure the man would be meeting a big fish hole when he meets her.” She hissed. ‘Is she not explaining herself right now?’ Tyrant hissed and I almost laughed from his irritation. “She sleeps around?” I asked. “Yes, she is a whore. Why do you think I hate her? I have caught her with over four men in her room, moaning and sucking their cock. Did you know she ran from the house to meet a man and that was when her father went to search for her which caused his accident.” She rolled her eyes with irritation. I swallowed, feeling a nerve burst in my belly. “Are you okay?” She asked. “No, I am parched.” I stopped by the coffee shop and went in for a cup of coffee. After swallowing the first one in one gulp, I took another back to the car. Tyrant said nothing. “Are you okay now?” She asked and I nodded, continuing the drive, my face fixed on the road. Soon, we arrived at the pack house. I had never lived in it. I had never one day lived like an Alpha prince. We got in, Tina holding my hand like she was leading her baby brother. She was six years older anyway. We waited for the Alpha to arrive in the meeting room and when he stepped in, I got engulfed in his aura. He had violet eyes, one that ran in the family and this was the reason I wore contact lenses to hide mine. “Wow, he is a handsome one,” he said taking his seat. “Yes, Alpha. Alexander here is going to be taking over from Bryan. I will also be getting married to him.” Tina beamed. I blacked out from their discussion when a familiar scent hit my nostrils, making me dart around to see where it came from. The pack house was large. We were in the second floor where the Alpha did all of his meetings. ‘It smelling like her’ Tyrant came forward. He was right. She smelled like vanilla. Like peach. Spring break. Freedom. Her smell was ecstasy and every time I sniffed if, it felt so right. ‘Yet wrong, very wrong.’ Tyrant interjected, reminding me I wasn't supposed to be enjoying her scent. ‘Especially because she is not a saint. She has been sleeping with different men. This is why love is nonsense and we can never believe in it.’ I agreed with him. The only reason my mom was crazy in a mental hospital was because of this man. He didn't know how much hatred I harbored against him. He was here living happily while my mother suffered a great deal. He got a new wife and son who lived in this mansion with him and neglected my mother who was his real mate. Worse, the bastard marked her yet he didn't let her mark him. He claimed her subjecting her to loneliness and heartbreak. Each time he slept with other women, she felt it. My fist clenched beside me and I wanted to punch the grin off his face. He was looking at me, but I hated his gut. I hated everything about him. “Yes, he is very handsome.” Tina held me and laid her head on my shoulder. “Dad, I am going to drop her off.” A manly voice sounded. I turned to the entrance and saw a young man. It was Isaac, Alpha’s heir. Isaac was over twenty years old. His purple eyes gazed at his father waiting for approval. It wasn't Isaac that got my attention. He was handsome with violet eyes that have him unique features but that didn't flabbergasted me. It was the female behind him that did. She stood next to him, closely, her eyes on the floor. ‘What is she doing with him?’ Tyrant came forward quickly, anger sipping from him to me. ‘Isn’t Isaac a fuck boy? Goodness, did she fuvk him?’ “She better not!” I stood, ignoring everyone in the room. She was the one I fixed my burning gaze on. Gently, she lifted her head as well, and when she saw me, she froze. I walked up to her and grabbed her hand. “Come with me!”The game began before we could even formulate a strategy. And goodness, these men were strong. None of us was able to steal their balls. None. I tried but I was slammed to the floor by Ken, he laid his elbow on my back and waved at the audience. I couldn't look at the kids out of shame. They would be so disappointed in me now. I could only imagine how Israel was now glaring at me. The Alphas were stronger than all of us put together. I had the aura, but never the strength. “Team A has now taken half of Team B’s ball!” The announcer uttered over the microphone. His words pierced through the air reminding me of our failure. As much as I tried, I was not able to raise my head to face the kids. I couldn’t look in their face. It felt like I had deeply let them down. Lans ran over to me with a handkerchief, which I collected and wiped my face with. Then, he placed his hand over my shoulder. We were on a break now. “I told you those bastards were strong.” He chuckled. I noticed L
LENA.“Don’t…Don’t touch me!” I yelled, pulling back on my butt. Hot tears ran down my cheeks. My palm was bruised now because I was not on a smooth floor. It was a fucking gravel with broken branches that tore at my flesh and my hands hurt like shit. But this scary man in front of me kept stalking towar me, trying to catch me. Fucking Royce. I had fallen when I was running from him. Now I was trapped in the forest. Now, he was walking toward me with those predatory steps and murderous eyes. Stay away from me, please. Stay away!Tears streamed down my cheeks, My body was trembling with intense fear. My body was tired and about to give up on me. “Nobody is going to save you now, Lena. Nobody.” He laughed … his deep laughter seeped through. Penetrated every part of me. Sick. Dangerous. I could barely even look in his eyes. He was evil. He hid all this darkness behind his playfulness. Who would have thought he was such an evil man? My body had already given up on me at this time. I
ALEXANDER.The game started and all the kids began to cheer. I looked up at Isna, who was clapping with her two little palms and jumping with her cute little feet. She looked super happy, her eyes were glinting with joy. Israel stood next to her. Hands in his black khaki trousers, shades on … looking unbothered. He lifted one hand, gave me the thumbs-up sign, and pocketed it right back. I chuckled. A real one. Not forced. No pretense. My heart pumped blood even more, reacting to them like they weren’t mere strangers. I barely knew them so why was I feeling this way toward them? Why? “Did the twins' mother hire you to come represent her children?” A voice sounded behind me which made me look over my shoulder to see who had spoken. It was a white skinned guy, brown hair and over six feet tall. He was chest-naked, staring at me like he would pounce on me if I said anything wrong. Who the hell was this bastard? He had the most arrogant smirk on his lips, and the way he was bent, it
LENA. I walked down the quiet and narrow hallway that had rows of rooms. The rooms were too quiet and it was so obvious that no one occupied the space. I constantly looked back over my shoulders making sure no one was coming behind me. Allyson had said that it was the last room in the hallway so I stalked closer, walking as quietly as possible. I didn't want to be caught. My heart hammered in my chest, and I wondered what I was going to find in the room. The last room’s door was isolated. You could barely tell there was another room. The door looked old. I knocked on it gently over and over, while looking around making sure no one was heading my way. After knocking several times, there was no reply so I twisted the knob but the door did not budge. As expected, it was locked. This was where learning how to pick locks came in handy. I had watched over a twenty videos teaching me how to use hair pin to pick a lock. I quickly crouched in front of the lock, taking out my hairpin fr
ALEXANDER. I found myself in my car heading to a different pack from mine. I never really crossed the pack border, not even for vacation, I was always working. But this time, I crossed it from some kids who threatened to ruin my reputation if I didn't. I really want to see their mother, I really need to know how she trained those kids and why they were so sharp-tongued. “Yet, you have never crossed borders for your kids, never!” My subconscious rang at me and I frowned. They were always going on vacation with their mother, begging me to leave work and go with them. It had never been of interest to me. I might say I felt threatened but I knew very well that I could pull strings that would exempt me from those things. “Wait, you are coming for real?” Asked Isna, the female. The boy’s name was Israel and he talked less than the girl. “Yeah, almost at your pack,” I said. “We are on neutral ground.” The boy chipped it and I wasn't even surprised, he was always chipping in to correct
LENA. Don't panic, Lena. Don't break, not now. Tears welled in my eyes after I had to send Alexander away. I couldn't be with him. I couldn’t be with my mate. I had to pretend like I didn't want to see him. Getting to my apartment, I dropped to the floor, unable to stop the tears from flowing down my cheeks. My hands were trembling, and I could tell it was because I had chased my mate away from myself. I had told him not to come near me. My body was damaged. My soul was crused, ever since I used my hands to kill him - at least I thought that I did- my body had turned against me, and now it felt like my body didn't belong to me anymore. Being with him even for a few moments always restored balance within me. I knew he was all I needed to heal, but he wasn't mine anymore. He no longer belonged to me. My phone beeped in my bag, which tumbled over next to me. It rang over and over before I stretched my hand and picked it up. It was the home number—the phone we left for the kids to be
