DAPHNE POV"This dreadful headache!" I muttered, using my fingers to massage the side of my head. If only I could just run somewhere with my babies... If only--"Oh, dearest goddess. Why does it have to be now? Why do I have to meet that monster again?" I cried silently.My headache intensified. "I need to have this meeting today," I thought. Peeking at my wristwatch, it was just 1:03 PM. I just wanted to go home and take a nap. To see my babies too.Placing my head on my table, my hand fumbled for the intercom."Pen, get in here for a second." I ground out tightly.Few minutes later, my door opened, and my assistant walked in."Yes, madam? Are you alright?" she asked, her voice raised in panic."Just get me some aspirin and a glass of water," I said, my teeth already chattering."Yes, ma'am." She rushed out of the office and was back almost immediately.Sitting up, I took the extended tablet from her and threw it inside my mouth. Then I took a small sip of water."Ma'am, do you need
KIAN'S POV"Kian! Don't you dare walk out on me." Cynthia screeched as I walked past her into my room. I went straight to my desk and poured out a glass of whisky. I poured it down my throat as I sat. Clenching my fist, I picked the decanter to pour another glass of whisky when the object of my fury stomped in."Why the hell wouldn't she just let me be?" I thought angrily giving her a sly look."And where the fuck was Beta Paul? I just need this bitch out of my room before I kill her.""Kian, why do you hate me so? Uh? Why?" She screamed.I shuddered at the thought of being in the same room with her. "How did I ever think her pretty? This bitch is the ugliest person I've ever seen."I suddenly raised my head as she snatched the glass from my hands."Why won't you answer me?" She queried, her eyes narrowed.My brows furrowed in a frown. I've had enough of this slutty bitch. Slamming my hands on the table in annoyance, I watched as she jerked in surprise at my action. I rose slowly from
Kian's POV It was Daphne. She was the one. I know her. I know my mate when I see her.The rest of the event went in a blur, I didn't know what happened after she left. I froze in the spot when she called some other guy her babe and walked away. Daphne won't do that to me. She will not. I was too stupified to follow. I watched with wide eyes as she left my grip, not caring about the slap. She walked away.It has to be her, Daphne. I hadn't slept the whole night. My eyes continued to stare at the ceiling as the scene replay again and again in my head. How was she alive? Or… isn't she…Can it be— does doppelganger really exist? Someone out there has the same face as my mate, Daphne? How is that possible? Why on earth is the moon goddess playing tricks on me?! “Fuck!” I cussed as my grip on the ray tightened. But I felt her… I felt that it was her. Why did she turn around then? Why did she answer when I called her Daphne? She has to be the one. ***Flashback***“What do you mean
Daphne's POV “Good morning, Ma'am,” “Good morning, Nana Amy. Where are Davina and Davis?” I asked, sitting on the dinning. “The driver has taken them to school,” she replied. A frown formed on my face as I looked up at the wall clock. It was 10 am, I did wake up late. Thanks to the crazy dream last night. It took me a long time before I could sleep off again. It's been years since I had one of these dreams. Seeing Kian in flesh again was what triggered that dream. But more than ever, I needed to speak with father. “Where is Father?” “Did someone call me?” I heard his voice from behind and I rolled my eyes at him. I was still mad at him, if he had not forced me to that event, there wouldn't have been any body seeing anybody. “Morning,” I said grumpily and he sighed, “I'm sorry, dear. George told me what happened.”Of course, George knows. He is father's right hand man, personal assistant, so he knows everything. Everything about Father's life and about mine so he definitely k
DAPHNE'S POVAs soon as I felt the cold air slap my face, I took my hand off Felix's and ran.For how long, I couldn't tell. I fell to the ground, clutching my throat, my eyes wide, my breathing uneven, I couldn't breathe properly anymore. My fingers dug into my throat as I clenched my fist, yet it drew blood. My heart was pounding in my chest as the scene replayed again and again in my head. How his arms wrapped around mine, his breath fanning my skin as he spoke. My skin crawled in irritation, I just wanted to pour a whole bottle of body wash on me and scrub. ‘Monster.’ My mind kept screaming, ‘Monster!’Whenever I close my eyes, I cannot help but see him. He is the only one I could see right now and it irked me. Slowly, my breath began to normalize. I took my hands off my throat. For the second time tonight, I received another shock. I lost it when I felt a hand grabbing me from behind I shrieked."Debby? Debby? Are you alright?" I heard Felix's voice, but my breathing didn't
KIAN'S POV"What is wrong?" Beta Paul asked the moment he noticed I had stopped abruptly. "I think this is a bad Idea, man." I answered, tilting my head a little upward. My ear keep twitching, and my bones cracked. It's been a long time since I had this feeling.Since after the death of Daphne, I hadn't had anything to do with humans or gone out of the Pack even. Paul heard the cracks and saw my nose twitched and immediately moved towards me, "Kian, I think you are about to shift," Paul said in concern, “You can sit this one out if you wish to” I shook my head, “No, I just perceive something is about to happen.""How so?" Paul asked, concern etched around the corners of his face, "I shouldn't have persuaded you to come. I could have handled this alone." He muttered, guilt oozing from him. And I let out a small laugh. "It's fine. I need to be here. I can't keep pushing you into doing Alpha's duty both in and outside the pack." I said, looking back at him with gratitude.Beta Paul
DAPHNE POVI sighted Felix standing by his latest model of his Mercedes-Benz. Felix loves cars. It's no wonder why this car screams power. I watched him as we made our way towards his car. Felix looked very handsome in his black tuxedo and his low-cut dyed hair. I watched his green eyes twitch at the sides immediately as he saw me nearing his car with Davis and Davina.Enjoying how his gaze quickly scanned my strapless white dress, I watched his eyes stay on my exposed neckline for a moment while it moved to longingly caress the top of my cleft and my slender neck, I called, "Felix?"Jolted from his reverie, he walked towards me. Stretching my hand towards him, Felix placed a gentle kiss at the tip of my fingers."Why, you look absolutely gorgeous, Debby!" He exclaimed.Then, he turned to greet George, who was walking stealthily behind us. I watched him struggle to say a word. When he couldn't, he just gave up. I smiled quietly. Knowing George, he doesn't care about propriety. He has
DAPHNE POV Still skeptical about attending the BusinessKulture Event, I couldn't avoid it this time.Yes, I and my father are at it again!"Father, can you reconsider? I'm still not ready." I grumbled impatiently."Debby, you have to be ready one day, and it might as well start from today." My father said."It mustn't be today, father! I still have a whole lot of time to attend and be the face of Gen-Luxury... Please, just use a representative as you've always done." I retorted.I saw Davina and Davis feel restless as a result of the tension in my room, so they quitely backed out of the room. I know I already informed them they couldn't go with me since it's an event for adults. However, I couldn't help feeling sad that they looked downcasted."Okay, okay, fine! I'm going because I already promised Felix." Throwing my hands up, worn out and exasperated, I gave in.Of course, I knew I couldn't win once my father's mind was already made up on a matter. I still thought to try anyways...
Daphne's POV “You can't just adjourn my meeting? It's important.” I complained. This time I was already on my feet. Father cannot do this. “I need to speak to my daughter so the meeting is adjourned until next time.” He turned to Linda and said, “You, fix another day for the meeting” Linda bowed and began to search her tablet, but I stood still upset, “You cannot just adjourn meetings like this. We are discussing the annual events of the company.” “That's good,” he smiled before reaching for a seat. George pulled it out for him and he sat. By now, the meeting hall was empty, I just didn't know what to say to the man in front of me. If what he wishes to speak to me about isn't important, I swear I'll—“So… how was your date?” He asked, wiggling his brows in a playful manner. ‘Oh no, he didn't’ I mentally facepalmed when I realized this was all for the stupid blind date. A date I was so stressed about that made me wake up so late today. “You stopped my meeting to ask how the dat
