8. Tessa's POVFinally, dad came through. My shop is ready and I went there and I don't even know what to say. It's so big and beautiful. Everything is as I specified in my plans and I am good now. I don't know how to explain this. Cosmetology and dermatology come naturally to me. When I see someone, I do not even need to test their skin type or the type of acne one has or anything like that. I can tell by just a look.I have been able to come up with my own formulas for some skin types and the pilot studies were superb.I have been selling them from home and those were some of the money I gave dad and he gave me a little to add to that and that's how I got the capital. Opening this shop will help me reach a bigger clientele and even if I were to get married to another girl, I will be able to provide for us and take care of her. Yes, that's me. Sometimes I wish that the goddess would mate me to a girl. I have a secretary called Monet and she is the cutest. I liked her the first
Alex's POVI am an alpha but I think I will be dead soon. Not due to old age or sickness or even abstract. No. The sole reason for my death will be Teresia Black.I love her. I want her. Ryker is demanding we tell her the truth but how do I get to her. She has made it very clear that she doesn't want me. She would rather have other people. Right now she is dating that human girl. She even kissed her before me. Every kiss felt like a laceration to my heart. Tessa is killing me. I am in my office in our pack working. Everyday, I have to deal with a myriad of things concerning the well being of the pack, attend meetings and all.Nowadays, since Tessa returned and doesn't want anything to do with me, I have put even more work on me. It is only when I am working that I don't seem to think about her. But any other time, she is occupying my mind. I wish I hadn't kissed her that first day she returned because that's what had been occupying me. The kiss was... what can I say? It was h
Alex's POVI can't believe it! She had a boyfriend and asked him to follow her here? In my park of all places! I want to break something. I wonder how Nate's bones will feel under my arms as I break them to pieces. "You okay mate?" Leo asked. He could tell that I was fuming. He knew me so well. "I want to kill someone. I want to..." I couldn't continue. I threw a fist on a nearby tree and it creaked as it formed a crack from where I had hit and the crack ran all the way up to where the branches started growing down to the place where the stem met with the earth. That's how angry I was. "I know mate. I know. Let's wait and see Tessa's explanation. But I agree with dad. You have to tell her. I have a feeling that she still loves you and she is doing all this to spite you and to show you that she has moved on but I don't think she has. Right now she thinks the worst about you. Tell her the truth and see what's going to happen. You have nothing to lose by telling her anyway... b
. Alex's POVThat night was the best and my relationship with Tessa Improved from there. She still hadn't believed me but for starters, she sent Nate home that following morning.She even told me that he was just her ex and he came with the hopes that they would get back together. Too bad for him because this seven foot gorgeous me happened and he isn't having her. She is mine. She even allowed me to take her for dinner and lunch on several occasions. No one in the pack knows why she hasn't felt our bond and we decided to wait. She will eventually feel it and I'm hoping it happens soon because Ryker keeps bugging me to mark her. I don't know whether the bonding will work without her feeling the link and I don't want to risk it. Today, I am supposed to take Tessa for dinner. Being with her soothes me and calms my soul. She is all I want. I love her. I call her around lunch time and she doesn't pick up. I wanted to check on her as we are doing nowadays every day and it isn't l
Alex's POVIt has been three days since Tessa went missing. Three f*ucking days! I haven't slept, haven't eaten and I'm irritable. I want to punch something. We have looked everywhere. I have all the wolves of my pack out there. Alphas, betas and omegas too.Everyone is out there helping us and still, no sign. Monet has the human police helping and they too, haven't come with anything. I have never felt so helpless before. I wish I had gone to work with her that day. In fact, I had offered as I kissed her goodbye as she drove off. But Tessa being Tessa wouldn't allow me. She was quick to remind me that we aren't dating and I shouldn't treat her like a baby. I wasn't angry though. I understood her perfectly. We are just warming up to each other and I had decided to give her time. My mom comes calling for breakfast and I feel like snapping at her. "I'm not hungry Ma. I'm good," I say, trying to dismiss her. "I know you are good baby. What I'm worried about is your physic
. Leo's POVThis is the fourth day and except the car that was found yesterday, no one else has heard anything about my sister. We are all tense and we are all here in our living room because dad said that he has something to tell us. Alex is here and so is Susan, my mate. It feels awkward with the way we almost came to blows but I forgave him. I know that Alex loves Tessa, it's just that her disappearance is taking a toll on him. He's paranoid but I do believe that doesn't give him a reason to be an asshole.Also, as an alpha, he feels useless that he can't find her. I didn't fault him the same way he didn't fault me for disrespecting my alpha. We are all on edge and like for me, I am sure that it's Suzy who's keeping me grounded. Without her here, I am sure I would have lost it. "We are all here?" Dad asks as he walks from the kitchen with a pot of hot cappuccino. It smells so nice. "I will get the cups dad," Suzy says as Alex stands to take the pot from dad and place it on
. Leo's POVI can't believe what dad has just told us. So, all this time, I have a witch's blood in me and I didn't know. Is it a bad or a good thing? I really don't know what to think. If it is making all this happen to Tessa, then I'm glad I am just a normal beta. "Do my parents know?" Alex asks. "Of course. By the time my mate was turning, I was already your dad's beta. So, yes, he knew and he helped through it all," dad answered and it all made sense. It is like the way Alex and I are now. We talk about everything including our mates though sometimes I feel like cringing when he starts talking about how he and my sister made out. Aarrgh! But I understand him because I am his only friend.So, I try to pretend that he is talking about someone else whenever he starts talking about their kisses, their snuggles, how good he feels when he is with her and such. I guess it's me paying for all those nights I would keep him awake narrating about me and Susan immediately I found
Alex's POV"Alpha, we are ready when you are," I heard Leo say through our mind link as dad, susan and I entered the main mansion.My dad got up to receive us in the living room and he gave me a warning look. There, seated on the couch was the most handsome creature I had ever seen. The man stood up immediately when he saw us and he was smiling at me. I didn't smile back because I didn't know him. Heck, I have never even seen him. But truthfully speaking, he was handsome. He was talking, I think we stood that the same height, almost shared the same body features and I think he rivalled me in looks. I felt threatened as a man. But he didn't exude any danger. In fact, I didn't feel wary of him. I felt like I wanted to get closer to him and get to know him more. "Alpha Alexander Jason Aldean, my name is Mason Jason Silvano, a vampire. I am the first son of the Silvano vampire clan of Mayne. It is my honour to meet you today," he said and I felt Ryker groan. Oh, we shared the middl
