Carlo.I inhaled from my cigarette, watching the smoke float into the air. I've been attempting to rid myself of this anger that's been consuming me, but unfortunately, my efforts have been in vain. All of Zeke's words, his act of betrayal, and the secrets he kept—I never expected him to do something like this.I would have killed him yesterday if Catrina's screams hadn't alerted the others to come. It took Jonah, Alex, and two other warriors to separate me from Zeke.I had already injured Zeke when they finally succeeded in separating us. As blood trickled from the deep gash I inflicted on his neck, dangerously close to his veins, I almost killed him..."Let me kill him," I growled, giving a warning that if they interfered, I might not hesitate to kill them too."What happened? Alpha, we didn't mean to interrupt or interfere, but...you could have killed him!""Just let it be. He deserved it," I answered.My gaze was sharp at Zeke. He didn't say anything. Of course, he had no explanat
"Stupid girl! Who do you think you are, coming to me like this? Are you out of your mind?" Catrina could do nothing but give in to his power when Alpha Carlo roughly dragged her away from the hall where the party was held and brought her to a narrow, shadowed space by the stairs. She was able to see the danger in his look, the way his jaw was clenched, the redness in his eyes, and the intensity of his glare, all of which were evidence of how angry he was at her at this very moment. Catrina, though, steeled herself so that she wouldn't appear to be trembling in his presence. "Did you intentionally come here to embarrass me in front of my entire family and pack members, Omega?" He roared at her. She had, in fact, made up her mind to visit him tonight; however, she had no idea that the Blackthorn Pack was throwing a lavish party in the Alpha's mansion to commemorate the new Alpha king's elevation to the position of Alpha. Catrina had no idea that she would show up in front of his f
Four years later. Moans could be heard through the dimly lit room; two bare bodies were entwined on a sofa. The sandy-blonde beauty gasped breathlessly as waves of pleasure coursed through her veins. "Aah... Alpha..." Carlo was so close to reaching his climax, but the pleasure fell apart when the woman he was pinned down on made a sound, and the image of the other woman in his mind vanished in an instant. Stopping his movements abruptly and pulling himself out of her, he rose to his feet, putting on his black night robe before walking away from the woman. The Alpha raked his finger through his hair roughly, messing it up. "Alpha Carlo? What's wrong? Did I do something wrong?" The beautiful woman, Morea, was offended as soon as the Alpha ended their lovemaking so roughly. "You are not my mate." His voice was impassive. Of course, she wasn't his mate. No matter how much he denied it, his wolf, Shadow, would always make an effort to remind him that Morea was not his mate. Somehow,
"Theo, thank you for being so kind to me and Lacie throughout all these years. I have no clue how to even begin repaying you...." "Why talk like I'm a stranger? I helped you because I wanted to. You don't owe me anything. By the way, how was the photoshoot?" "It went well. They offered me a contract extension, saying my face suits their criteria." "Well, as I said, you are very beautiful, Catrina... Very beautiful." They strolled towards her apartment building, a grin plastered on her face and her heart thumping with excitement. Theo, the man who had been helping her all this time and who had brought her and her daughter to this city, had just picked her up from the studio, and now she was going to whip up a bomb dinner for him as a token of appreciation. Entering her room, Catrina headed to the kitchen to start taking out the ingredients from the fridge, while Margaretha cradled Lacie in her arms. Lacie is her daughter, who is three and a half years old. "Look, sweetheart,
They were given a very warm welcome by the werewolf from the Bluemoon pack, even given the lap of luxury for the night, complete with the finest wine poured by their sexy omega. Carlo and the rest were already drunk enough to resist the allure and temptation of their curvy asses and luscious lips. Even Zeke just gave in when a pretty redhead started unbuttoning his shirt. "Take it easy, baby; there's no need to hurry..." Zeke takes a deep breath, his voice slurred and weighted with drunkenness. "You're all mine, and I'm all yours for tonight..." "Get out." Carlo interrupts them without lifting his eyes from his glass. "Huh? What are you saying?" Zeke lifted his head, utterly clueless. "You're not going to fuck her in your Alpha presence." "Are you not going to let me share her with you tonight? Not your typical--" "Have her all to yourself, Zeke." Carlo's words prompted Zeke to swiftly rise from the couch. He whisked the Omega he was about to hook up with for the night into a s
In the packed hall of the mansion, Catrina found herself in a corner from an hour ago, doing her best to fit in while steering clear of anyone who could potentially give her trouble. Especially him, though. Theo was blending in with the crowd, chatting with the guests as he went to get her a drink. Five minutes later, Catrina sees him stumbling towards her after just sipping on some black wine that a maid brought. "Theo! What's wrong?" She was freaking out, desperately placing her hand on his chest to prevent his hefty frame from collapsing to the ground. "No idea. I'm feeling lightheaded right now; I can't even bring myself to open my eyes!" Theo ran his hand over his face. Catrina bit the inside of her cheek. She had told him not to drink anything if he could help it, so he wouldn't get too wasted, but he didn't seem to pay attention to her. "Want to lie down for a while? Do you want to go home?" She was hoping that Theo would simply agree to go home. She was already getting un
Catrina finished cleaning her dress and was about to leave the bathroom when, out of nowhere, someone came up from behind and enveloped her. "hmph- what ar-" "Relax, then you'll be okay. Just listen to me, Catrina.’’ That voice is somehow not entirely unfamiliar. He dragged her body along without giving her a chance to resist. The moment he released her, she finally realized that he was not taking her to the party hall. Instead, it was a room where a handsome man sat haughtily on the sofa. "Thank you, Zeke." Zeke? That's why the voice was so familiar! Turning around, Catrina saw the beta, who smiled briefly before leaving the room. Catrina had yet to recognize the other man in the room. If Zeke was here, then that meant... "Hello, Catrina." She turned her head and met the face she was avoiding the most for tonight. Right in front of her was the man who had caused all of her suffering. Catrina was taken aback. "You?!" A smile touches his lips, sending shivers down her spine
The door swung open, and Catrina spun around, thinking she would see Carlo; however, to her surprise, it was Zeke. But that doesn't make her anger go away, because this man is the culprit who brought her to Carlo tonight! Zeke smiled, Catrina's hands balled into fists, furious. "You dick!" She swiftly walked to him, placing her hands on his chest, and forcefully pushed him backward. "What do you all want?!" "Catrina, calm yourself, please." Zeke caught her hand and grasped it. ''I'm sorry. But I don't have any other option; I have to bring you to Carlo." ''Why though? Why do you have to take me back to the man who banished me from his pack?" "He is the father of your daughter,'' Zeke responded. ''I don't care! Father or not, I won't let him hurt Lacie or take her away from me." she barks. "Carlo would never hurt her," Zeke responded firmly. ''Nor does he intend to take her away from you. He will not separate you; it is your help that he needs. This is about our pack." "Why shou
