With a lump in my throat I turned my gaze and watched his broad back walk away. I wanted to go after him, but Agatha's voice stopped me before I could take a step."Father! What shall we do?" Agatha sobbed. I turned my gaze to the rest of those present and saw Agatha running towards her father. On the other hand, Bennett's parents had ignored my presence without even looking at me.However, despite that, I only approached Alpha Damien "I... I want to know why Bennett is the alpha of your pack and not Walter, your son?" I asked.Alpha Damien looked at Bennett's father, who cleared his throat and nodded his head. Alpha Damien sighed and glared at me."Luna, there is something that no one else knows. However, for now my only concern is my daughter and her safety" he said, glancing sideways at Agatha, who had her face down."I know that you are now the Luna of the pack and have the power to change Alpha Bennett's mind..."Before the man finished speaking, I interjected "I know what you w
The mere sound brought all eyes to my face, with the exception of Bennett, who hadn't looked at me for a moment since I entered the office.Despite that, all my attention was on the words of Agatha's parents: did they want their daughter to be Bennett's lover? Why would they stoop to that?"Alpha Damien, why would you want your daughter to be my mistress? Don't you know there were people who refused that position?" Bennett said with a mocking tone.Shit, I knew Bennett's words were directed at me. My heart burned with pain as my head dropped in shame.It was all bullshit! For a long time I thought I was finally over my love for Bennett, and I was glad I was. But, when I heard what Alpha Damien was saying, I felt a surge of pain in my chest.Why the hell did I feel so bad knowing that Bennett might have a mistress?But what the hell was wrong with me, had my feelings resurfaced when I learned the truth, or was I lying to myself that I no longer loved Bennett?Unable to think anymore, A
"I know, I know everything that happened. Delta Alesso told me everything. Bennett only did that to scare you away from the idea of marrying Walter. If he hadn't done that, you never would have signed that marriage contract" Lucas said.I blinked like an idiot as I listened to all those truths that Bennett himself had kept from me. Was there more that Bennett had kept from me?Everything I had heard since I woke up only made me feel even guiltier."I didn't know any of that," I said with a blank stare."I know, Hester. I know Alpha Bennett didn't tell you anything. But he only did this to open your eyes. He would never hurt our mother or you" Lucas said.Without saying anything, I stood still, trembling, as he reached out his arms and took me from my body, sinking into his chest.His hands caressed my head as a sigh escaped his lips "Sister, I know I've already told you that Alpha Bennett is a dangerous man. I even looked like a fool when he said he would do everything he could to gat
Without thinking any more about it, I saw my brother begin his training. After a few minutes, I went out to walk down the hallway in search of the bathroom, but when I seemed to have lost my way I was dumbfounded: just a few meters away there was a huge man with a dark suit on his back.His powerful aura made my legs tremble, his scent was delicious, but I couldn't even see his face." Was he the former alpha or some ally alpha?" I asked myself.But before I could think anything else, I heard Lucas' voice behind me "Sister, I think you should go, we will have a meeting. but you can come tomorrow if you want" he said making me gasp."Yeah. I'll... I'll go" I could see the huge man turn to me, but before I saw him, I just left with Lucas.***UpdateWith a gasp I opened my eyes and snapped out of my daydream. Fuck, how could I have been so stupid, it had always been Bennett the man spying on me!However, all my thoughts disappeared when a nurse entered the room."Gamma Lucas, you're wan
As she spoke, I kept my head down and let my tears of pain and sadness fall. My whole face was in chaos, as was my head.I was so lost in grief, I hadn't noticed the car parked in front of the hospital."You can take your time" she said.I looked out the window and saw the huge building. To my surprise, there were several guards at the hospital entrance."Thank you so much for the ride" I said as I opened the car door."You're welcome, and remember, there is more danger than you can imagine. You should think carefully about what you do and with whom" She hinted with a wink.As I got out of the car, I felt a lump in my throat and she left immediately. I walked with an air of superiority towards the entrance and, without looking at anyone, made my way to my mother's bedroom hallway.However, I couldn't help but feel everyone's gaze. For a moment, I raised my face and saw that everyone seemed to be muttering about my disheveled dress and unkempt hair.Shaking my head, I approached the do
“What contract?” I asked, confused.“When you stabbed him, he showed you a contract. Did you sign it? Of course not, I didn't even read it,” she said mockingly.“What did it say?”“It just said that he would help you break off your engagement to Walter and leave the pack with your mother and keep you safe. But you just stabbed him, and that broke his heart. He never expected that from you. He loved you madly, and you betrayed him. You caused all this!”I bit my lower lip as I tried to control the tears. I didn't want to hear any more of Stephanie's words. Everything she said was like a poisoned dagger going straight to my heart.If that was the case, I was the only one to blame for what was happening. I was so blinded by hatred that I had never noticed Bennett's love for me. I decided to believe only what Walter had planted in my mind.For a long time I tried to remain calm, but a stabbing pain invaded my chest. Losing my balance, I staggered for a moment, however, just when I though
After walking a little, we finally stopped in front of her car. At that moment, she grabbed my arm and turned to me, pointing her finger at me. “You have no idea what you did. You hurt Bennett by making a terrible mistake,” she said harshly. I quickly shook my head and took a step back. “I'm tired of hearing that. Didn't anyone see how that man used me for almost a year? He lied to me and treated me like a slut!” I said, clenching my fists. “He was just protecting you!” Stephanie shouted, as if she were already lost in her anger. “Protect me? If only I had known everything, maybe I would have considered it. But how could I have known? Bennett ruined my life, and no one cared! He told me himself that he didn't love me and never would. How can I believe him after that?” I said, feeling helplessness throughout my entire body. At my words, Stephanie sighed deeply. Her eyes turned black as her dangerous aura began to show. For a moment, I thought she was going to respond, but she jus
The woman approached Stephanie, who was still holding my arm, and greeted her with a nod.“I'm sorry, I shouldn't have come without warning,” Stephanie said, looking away from my face.“Yes, it's been a long time since I've seen you... But what are you doing here? Bennett isn't here,” Bennett's mother hinted.For a moment, Bennett's mother's gaze rested on my face, but when I thought she was going to say something, she just made a face of contempt and turned her gaze back to Stephanie.“How are you, Stephanie? I guess you know what your alpha did, Bennett. You need to talk to him. Tell him that Agatha is the best Luna for this pack. He can't leave the pack in the hands of...” Bennett's mother glanced at me before continuing, and gestured.What the hell? The woman was talking as if I wasn't there. However, I just snorted, and Stephanie immediately let go of my arm and took a step toward Bennett's mother.“Geez, as a former Luna, I don't think you should talk that way,” Stephanie said i
Lya looked at me with a confused expression as she raised an eyebrow. “Luna, are you okay? Do you want me to tell one of the guards to take you to the pack hospital?”“No. I'm sorry, I was just thinking,” I said, forcing a smile.Lya shook her head and pursed her lips. “Are you sure?”“Yes, don't worry,” I said, tucking my hair behind my ear.“I see. I just wanted to let you know that Miss Stephanie came to see you,” said the woman with a slight smile on her lips.When I heard her say that, a look of confusion crossed my face. “Miss Stephanie?” I asked.“Yes, she came to talk to you. Would you like me to tell her you're busy or...?”Lya's words hung in the air when I interrupted, “No, don't worry. I'll go. Where is Miss Stephanie?”“She's in the main hall,” Lya hinted before curtsying.In fact, I wasn't used to being treated with such exclusivity. However, I just nodded and the maid walked away.On the other hand, I cleared my throat and walked toward a mirror in the hallway. With a s
