Chapter 3

last update Last Updated: 2023-05-11 02:21:11

Tears stung her eyes. Her brain was exploding. Had he just rejected her? Like the day her rogue parents fled to the woods and banned her from seeing them.

Unsure whether they did that in embarrassment or anger didn’t matter to her. They had abandoned her when they got banished. 

Just when she thought something good was about to happen, her edge of happiness was turning to rejection. Was her fate like her parents? They had married as fated mates but never for once accepted each other in the marriage. Each had a lover and her mum got pregnant with a beta wolf. 

In anger, her mum was banished by Alpha Lycan alongside her husband - who had been caught sleeping with his wife. Lucky enough that he wasn’t beheaded.

"You wanted me to have your babies. Has that changed?" Quinn remained on the floor; refusing to stand up. She wished the ground would open up and swallow her.

"You are not my betrothal. Yes, I still want you to carry my babies. Don't you get it? You are going to be a baby mama - nothing more. I'm not looking for a wife."

"So you plan on using me?"

Alpha Rowan huffed. "You ladies don't get it. A man offers you a deal and you think he wants to use you. How about you think of this as an opportunity for you? After all, what investment and properties do your pack have? Wouldn't you like to stop assassinating and serving as an underdog for people?"

There was a sting of sarcasm in his voice - an air of authority that made him believe he was better than anyone else.

Quinn finally dragged herself from the floor and thundered a resounding slap on his strengthened cheeks. 

"You bastard. You must think I'm desperate. To hell with you!"

Snippets of their heated conversation could be heard by Sasha. As his secretary, she had a bug planted in his office which she linked to her pen camera. 

She was happy to hear them arguing. Although we couldn't decipher what it was about.

Itching to know it all, she places a call on the intercom and brings up an excuse to see Alpha. 

He was pleased to see her call. He needed to escape the clingy attitude of Quinn. He knew she-wolves like her were easy to get back with after being dealt a hard blow of rejection. 

She was obviously in love with him. So fast. How could she have been so stupid to let in a man who didn't want her friendship - just the baby part?

He sensed she was still going to take him up on his offer. 

Every she-wolf wants to feel like she is the only one in her mate's life.

He had it all planned out. He will shower her with enough attention and gifts. By then, she'd have forgotten the brawl between them.

"Why do you obsess about marriage? We can make love often and be happy. Your assignment in my life is very simple - just give me babies and I will give you a sweet life you never dreamed of."

"I've been developing feelings for you since childhood. I didn't know you were this horrible. You are such a terrible mate. You have no value for my feelings."

Quinn was filled with fury. She was one to be courageous and daring, but Alpha weakened her.

At that instance, Sasha came in to meet Quinn on the floor. Immediately, Quinn picked up herself, while Sasha only scoffed.

She had risked her reputation and dignity just now. She had always been noticed for her beauty - nothing more. Was that all there is to her? Sasha wasn’t even as beautiful as her except for her endowment. Yet Quinn could see in his eyes how taken he was by her.

“Young lady, can you leave my office this minute? I vehemently reject you as my mate. Accept it. You make my skin crawl” 

Alpha Rowan squeezed his face in horror.

In his eyes, she was small enough for his dreams of a wife but important enough to make babies.

"Save face and leave. You have embarrassed yourself enough. I'm the wife." Sasha puffed up her ego to the size of  Quin's rejection.

"Whose wife? We never discussed that." Alpha Rowan said to her dismay.

"But you promised to marry me while we made love yesterday." 

So they had made love. He had promised her the same thing as hers. 

Quinn couldn't bear to think of the truth. 

For Sasha, there wasn't time for more conversation. 

She stopped short a few feet from Alpha and gave an alluring pose. 

"Unlike her, I'm not seeking a marital mate. I just want to enjoy the moment."

Alpha Rowan leaned over and hugged Sasha. 

"I've found an understanding mate in you. I do not want to be held down by marriage. I like my freedom."

Quinn faced the two of them and wrinkled her brow. "I don't know what I was thinking to believe anyone would love me the way I am. I shall move on" 

And she did move out of his office with him bellowing, "My offer still stands."

She scurried to her office in the basement and wept her soul out. Never had she felt love from anyone? When she had a crush on someone in the past, it was always one-sided. No one wanted to associate with her romantically. Was she good enough just for friendship and baby mamas? It couldn't be.

The leader of the Nightshade Pack who happens to be her foster parent, had told her she was destined to love and be loved.

Quinn is set to work. And just like that, the rejection returned with a master plan. A master plan was known only to her. No, she wouldn't force herself on him. Neither will she seduce him or give him a cold shoulder. Her master plan was a kill. 

Quinn smiled as if none of the previous conversations had happened.

"Why are you smiling at yourself? Care to share?"

Quinn shot a look at who spoke to her. 

"Who are you?" He must be a co-worker like her.

"I'm Fenris." He was a beta wolf who worked tirelessly at Nightfall Gems. "I work here like you. You must be my new colleague, Quinn. Nice having you here." He shook hands with her.

In times like this, Quinn wanted to be left alone and not speak to anyone.

"I can see your heart is breaking but you are trying so hard to hide it. Why is that?"

Quinn was taken aback by his quick wit.

"Nice meeting you Fenris. Uhm, can we talk later?" Not waiting for his response, Quinn turned away from him. She couldn't possibly tell Fenris about her feelings for Alpha Rowan and how he rejected her. Deep down, she hoped he was wrong and would soon come to beg her. Then, she'd take her time to accept him as her fated mate.

"I can always talk about myself…" And Fenris went on speaking about work at Nightfall Gems and sharing gossip.

Quinn, who didn't want to open up before, began to laugh and respond to his talk.

Then Fenris got talking about how his mate was the jealous type. 

Quinn sniffed and dabbed at the corner of her eyes. She wished for a jealous mate over a rejection.

"Hopefully, she is not around to throw her tantrums, otherwise it would have been a fit. And I trust you to beat her up as a skilled assassin"

Quinn gave a dry smile. "I don't use my skills for that."

"Still you may be tempted to give her a punch or two. Sometimes, I wish to get away from her jealous aura." 

Quinn could feel the sincerity in his voice.

"Why is that?"

"Her jealous nature can get dangerous sometimes. Often, I think she needs medical attention."

Quinn burst into laughter. "Then treat her. Always affirm your love for her."

"I do that. But she needs constant reassurance. And I'm not good with words."

"All males are good with words." Quinn speculated.

"Well, words don't work on her. She just doesn't want to see you talking to other females."

"That's interesting."

"Why did you become an assassin though?"

Fenris asked out of the blue.

Quinn wasn't ready to tell him about her painful past.

"How dare you?" A small firm hand gripped Quinn by the hair and when she turned, a slap resounded across her face.

    “Can you not turn Nightfall Gems into a club? It serves a bigger purpose than that.” Quinn took the courage to have a one-on-one conversation with Warrior Nun. “I know you are saying this because of Fenris. Don’t worry – he has the option of working in my club as a male stripper.” Quinn’s face squeezed in disgust. “Mind you, my club will be the biggest in town. No cap.” “Not my man having to strip in front of thirsty ladies.” “Oh, I forgot. You don’t share. How boring.” “Warrior Nun, I know it’s entirely your decision to make. But kindly consider all the other workers in the company.” “I’d gladly welcome them to Nightfall Club.” “This club might be your downfall,” Quinn uttered audaciously. “You are so brutally honest. This is why I love to work with you. At the same time, there are boundaries. Don’t overstep.” “I won’t bring up this discussion anymore.” Just then, a text beeped from an unknown number on Quinn’s phone. Can we meet at Sunflower Park? I’m Gamma Luke. We only

    “Are you still insistent on serving Rowan when you can pledge allegiance to me?” Warrior Nun took over from Nadia. Nadia was outside the camp by now whispering some words to Luke. He was going to take over Gamma Tris's position if he remained stubborn. But if he obliged, then he’d merely be a soldier in his army. Back at the tent where Gamma Tris was tied up by his men and forced to his knees, he spat at Warrior Nun. “Over my dead body will I bow to you? If my men can betray me doesn’t mean I can do the same to Rowan.”“Are you sure?” Warrior Nun placed a sharp dagger softly across his cheeks. “I’m giving you five minutes.” “Kill me right now!” Gamma Tris remained insistent. “I will grant your wish. Any last words?” “I already gave Rowan my last words when I visited in prison.” Hardly had he finished and a bullet riveted at his chest, pummelling him to the ground. His death was instantaneous and a shock even to the men who had forsaken him. “Anyone who wouldn’t serve me can

    “You are Nadia, right?” Gamma cups her chin to take a closer look at her.He admired her features.She was beautiful and curvy. Just the way he liked his women.“You know why you are here?” He taunted.“I know you want to sleep with me. I have no choice. I need the money. And I’ve been unable to get a decent job since I left prison.”“Sad to hear that. If you please me good, I could find something for you.” Gamma Tris had his eyes stayed on her cleavage that was threatening to spill into his lips – or anywhere he put.“Thank you so much my Gamma.” She spoke softly, her voice dripping in lust.“You are so beautiful. Which pack are you from?”“The Silver Fang Pack.”“Oh, the same pack as Alpha Rowan.”“Yes, my Gamma.”He loved it when she called him ‘my Gamma.’But noticing his face turn into a frown, she felt she had done something wrong.Gamma Tris noticed and put her mind at ease. “You didn’t offend me. Anytime I remember Rowan is behind bars, I become filled with sadness.”“Do not b

    Pam lay on the bed – sore and exhausted. Luke was fast asleep after intense hard work on her.Warrior Nun’s call woke him up.He almost didn’t pick up.“May I know why you are calling?” Luke sounded irritated on the phone.“I guess you’d be needing more than 3 days to tell me a yes.” Warrior Nun admitted.“I’m glad you caught up quickly.”“What’s the plan on your end?”“I want to work for you if you would like me to sell my shares.”“That’s a bonus! I won’t have it any other way. Are you skilled in military affairs? I know you have worked in the Modelling agency for quite a while. A fine man like you will do justice to my army.”Did she just mention an army? Luke thought to himself.“You’ve got an army?”“Not yet, my boy. But very soon.” Warrior Nun stated.“All right. I’m skilled in martial arts and swordsmanship.”“Lovely. I know you have a lot of skills and talents. You have been enlisted.”“Just like that?” Luke was marvelled.“Yup. Just like that. How would you like to be the nex

Looking forward to walking the third heavens with him.Sex with Luke was always on another level. It was always like she had never had sex before she met him.He always put in her almost comatose situations and asthmatic orgasms that left her believing the true gospel.Excitement because she knew Luke was beastly in bed.

Taking on more than she can handle.With his attention directed at her well-shaven pussy, he couldn’t wait to slide into her smooth sex with his weapon of war.He splayed her legs as wide as he wanted her and angled himself at her wet entrance.Taking in deep breaths and ravaging her breasts which she liked very much, he moistened his dick with her labia folds bef
