LOGINOdessa walked into the pack house, which was strangely bigger on the outside than it was on the inside. It looked so beautiful.
And she wondered how they allowed this many people in the pack house. “The ground floor is always very busy. Please follow me, my lady.” George said, gesturing towards the large stairs, which were the only part those in the pack house weren't walking through. “The pack house is open to just an amount of people. Most of them live in the pack house's spare apartments in the pack compound,” George explained as he led her up the next floor. “This is the important nobles' floor.” He said, turning to take her up the next flight of stairs leading to the next floor, which was the Delta's. The visit then was that of the Beta before reaching the floor where he told her all Alpha duties took place. “You won't see anyone on this floor unless ordered by the Alpha,” he explained before taking her up to the top floor. And she was panting already. “Well, we took the road so I would explain in detail to you, my lady. The elevator is always open to use.” Odessa stared at him in disbelief. He could always show her the floors later. He had her walk that way up after hours in the car seated without doing any leg movements. “This last floor is for you and Alpha Desmond alone. It has all the necessary facilities along with three rooms. The last one belongs to you and Alpha Desmond.” “I have to share a room with him?” she asked in shock, and he nodded gently, making her stunned. She expected them to have separate rooms and barely even interact with each other because of the character he was rumored to have. “You didn't tell me you'll be returning today.” A voice came from behind, making her turn to look at the speaker. There stood a man, his hands jammed in his pockets and his gaze not leaving Odessa. She could feel his aura in the room engulfing her like it would choke her to death anytime soon. And there wasn't a single hint of expression on his face. He looked at her deadly and expressionlessly. There was an undeniable connection between both of them that she couldn't lay her hands on. That was it. Alpha Desmond. George immediately bowed as he turned to look at him. But Odessa didn't. She just stared at him. And he did the same, ignoring George's greeting. “So you are the one they say is worthy of being my bride.” He strode towards her, only stopping a few steps away from her. “You don't look like it.” “Are you the one who judges a book by its cover?” She cut him off, which stunned him, and it stunned George, who was standing next to them also. “You don't seem fit to be my Alpha either.” “A very good thing to say from an omega hiding behind her father's Beta status. You stink of omega genes.” He shot at her, walking past her before heading towards the room. She wasn't really stunned by his remark. She had prepared herself for his brutal words. But it still did sting a little. “The kitchen and every other thing you might need to prevent you from leaving the floor if you don't want to,” George explained, and she nodded. “The maids already arranged your bags in the dressing room. Enjoy your stay here.” Odessa walked back into the room where she saw Desmond standing in between, looking at the two beds in the room like he was inspecting something. The two beds were joined together by a headboard and bedside tables. “It's your side of the room. I don't want to see you here, and I don't want to talk to you either.” “Wouldn't love it any other way,” she replied, walking towards the dressing room to change into more comfortable clothes. “I think he's starting to see we aren't someone to mess around with. You're an omega and he's an Alpha. That doesn't mean he can bully you as he likes,” Aria said as she watched Odessa pull out all the pins, putting her hair in place. “And I don't understand why you had to style your hair this stylishly because you want to come over to this boring pack.” “It doesn't seem boring at all except for their Alpha. It barely rained back at home, and here we have rain almost every time. As he said, I think I love this pack more even though I haven't seen what it has to offer.” Odessa said, tying her hair up in a loose bun. “There's no need to see that when you have all you need here on the floor. It has been made easier,” Aria said with a small smile. “Well, I still won't love staying here all day. I'll have to go down one day to at least make some friends.” Odessa replied, and she started to arrange her bags in the free dressing room, which she could assume was hers only. After thirty minutes of arranging the room, she finally stepped out of the room to see it was all empty. Not like she was expecting him to stay in the room anyway. She headed to her bed, sitting on it with a sigh before looking around the room, taking in the dark interior. It looked like the only part of the room that had a little bit of life was her side. His was plain and empty. “How can someone be this plain and boring?” Aria whispered. “He has to live up to his reputation of being the most ruthless Alpha. You don't expect someone like him to be fun, did you?” Odessa replied, leaning into her bed, looking up at the ceiling like she was expecting something to pop up. She remembered Alpha Devon talking about giving him an heir. How was she supposed to give him an heir if they both slept on separate beds? And all she also needed was to get her group of trusted people together. Of course, there would always be a group of people who were considered outcasts and were on the verge of going rogue that she'll recruit with her. “Getting your men from another man's pack is risky. Really risky,” Aria pointed out, but she was very calm about it. “I'm not going over to his Beta to ask him to betray Desmond. And besides, they aren't doing any harm to him unless he wants to be harmed by attacking first.” Odessa replied. Aria just shrugged gently before going back to slumber. Odessa could hear the soft thunder from outside as the rain continued to pour down onto the earth. She was pretty scared of lightning, but as long as the room wasn't out of lights, she could cope with it. She knew she needed to face her fears now that she was in a pack with constant rain. Odessa remained indoors till it was nighttime, and it was still raining outside. She decided to go to the kitchen and prepare something to eat. She didn't know if Desmond would also eat whatever she made. But why else would he have a kitchen on his floor unless he didn't want anyone cooking for him? She walked towards the kitchen, pushing the door open gently. The whole room was dark, and she struggled to find the switch. Suddenly, there was a loud boom accompanied by lightning outside. In what seemed like the middle of the room, she saw dangerous red eyes flash.Two years later, babe, Des, stop. No, I don't want to. A childish giggle. No, seriously, Des, we need to stop. We're going to be late. Er. Okay. Fine. Desmond pulled away from the crib with a disgruntled expression. He wanted to keep playing with her. You can play with her after the party. Desmond rolled his eyes at Odessa's words. Why do we have to go to this party? We can just chill here. Odessa laughed and picked up the tiny creature in her arms. Because she's stressed out. Your daughter is turning one today, and it will happen only once in a lifetime. The baby babbled and pulled at Odessa's hair. Her golden eyes are sharp and analyzing. Her dark, curly hair was pulled into two ponytails with a blue bow on each side. She had her mother's eyes, but was a carbon copy of her father. Sloan, baby, you're going to ruin Mommy's hair. Desmond cooed while pulling her chubby hands off Odessa's hair. Thank you. Odessa said to Desmond as he pressed a kiss to both his girls. Let's get goi
How did it feel during that time? Odessa asked, with her body facing Desmond on the bed. They were talking about everything that had happened from the point the spell took place. And the point where it got broken, I was mostly numb through it all. It felt like I was a passenger in my own body, just sitting there and watching from outside. I couldn't feel my wolf either. I knew he was there, but it was like something was blocking him from reaching out to me. I couldn't transform completely either. Hearing everything he went through made Odessa want to shed tears of anger. If only she could find Emma and end her. But the bitch didn't have a soul to finish off. The only way to get rid of her before she came back for them was to banish her from this world forever. The only problem was the item they needed was with Dominico, and he would never let them harm his mate. Nobody even knew Desmond was back. Odessa had teleported them straight to their room, and they had been indoors through
Emma struggled against Dominico's stronghold as she watched her most prized possession disappear around the corner, away from her. She shrieked loudly, thrashing against the man holding her hostage. Let go of me, you bastard. Dominico grunted as she elbowed him in the ribs with as much force as her hands could allow. You pack a mean punch, mate, he commented, with a smirk on his face. Don't call me that disgusting title. I belong to no one. She spat angrily with fire in her eyes. Dominico just rolled his eyes, relaxed. Emma, you could clearly see that he had broken the spell you put on him. You shouldn't have put it in the first place. Who the hell do you think you are? You can't just waltz in here and act like you own me. Dominico let out a dry laugh and shook his head from side to side. That's not what I'm trying to do. I'm just telling you that you shouldn't have wasted your time on them. That's all. If I needed your opinion, I would have asked for it. Now get lost. She moved
No. Desmond wailed with absolute pain in his voice. His knees hitting the ground with a painful thud. He ignored the pain. His body numbed to everything, but the sharp, stabbing pain in his chest from the severing of the mate bond. From losing his mate. Tears flowed down his cheeks as he cradled her head on his lap. Blood pooled around their bodies, staining the concrete floor a bright red. Why aren't you healing, Odessa? Why aren't you healing? Who did this? Who did this to you? He cried as he rocked her lifeless body on his lap. Unknowingly, Odessa had been staring at him for a few minutes now, wondering if he was real, if he was actually there, wondering if this wasn't just another one of Emma's tricks. But what if, yes, the thought of what-ifs were there? What if he had actually managed to break free from the spell just for him to find her dead and unmoving? Odessa breathed in and out, deciding that it was better to stop this nonsense and do the right thing. It was better to
Odessa's eyes opened. The moment she felt eyes watching her. She didn't even flinch. As the Moon Goddess's glare became more intense than normal. Are you going to explain to me why you're back here? With a side glance at the Moon Goddess, Odessa sat upright on the familiar couch. Her eyes chose to stare directly at the grand chandelier floating from the ceiling. I asked you a question, and I heard you. She replied flippantly. The Moon Goddess's eyes squinted at her daughter in what seemed to be utter confusion. Odessa, you basically committed suicide, even though that's not possible because you can't die. But that's beside the point. The point is why? Why? What? Celine let out a frustrated growl. Stop evading the question. Odessa, I have nothing on Earth anymore. What the hell do you want from me? Odessa snapped loudly as she got to her feet. Her hands clenched at her side as her chest rose and fell rapidly. Look at you. Celine pointed at the ground, and right before their eyes,
Before Odessa met Desmond, she had never expected how much her life would take a turn. Well, her life did start off dramatically at first with her reincarnation, but she never would have thought she would be in this position right now. She had fought death and won. She had fought rogues and witches and won hell. She brought someone back to life, fought creatures called shadow crawlers. And let's not forget, she defeated a bunch of alphas who tried to question her authority. She had done all that. But then when it came to her mate, she couldn't even save him from a love spell. How pathetic. How useless. Her powers were all for nothing. She didn't want them. If she didn't have him, she was nothing. Without him in her world, she was better off dead. Odessa's vision blurred as tears streamed down her face, her heart shattering into a million pieces. She couldn't bear the sight of Desmond, her mate, under Emma's spell. The thought of him enjoying Emma's touch, her kisses, was lik
Odessa walked out of her room dressed in a beautiful black off-shoulder dress, which was made with an expensive-looking and stretchy material that glued to her curves and stopped just on her knees. The dress hugged her figure elegantly, enhancing her silhouette. Odessa walked down the stairs, w
Everyone around was shocked when they heard her reject him. Everyone knew about her crush on him, even though they never spoke about it. Now, she was rejecting him after being given the chance to be with him. “What do you mean by you're rejecting me? Odessa, did I do something wrong?” Lucas asked,
I just wish I could get a second chance.” The words echoed in a deep, dark void. Everything seemed still and calm for a while before a bright light started piercing through the darkness. A gasp was heard as Odessa suddenly sat up in bed, looking around her as she touched herself frantically. “W
The soft sounds of a car halting could be heard in front of the apartment building. As a sports car pulled over, the door was pushed open, and a beautiful leg covered in sneakers stepped out of the car. Looking up at the building with a bright smile on her face, Odessa was holding a large box in
