SUNSHINE:I felt like I was an eggshell when I returned to the pack. My mind was a mess and I did not know whether I should be happy or not at the turn of events. Jericho had just broken the engagement and wanted me to be with Knoxx as if it were simple. It was not. How could I be with someone after knowing I hurt the person who truly loved me?“Sunshine? You okay?”I lifted my gaze after I stepped out of the car. Knoxx was at the garage, washing his car. Good for him. He turned off the faucet and wiped his hands on his pants. He was shirtless and sweat decorated his chest. Or maybe it was the water from the faucet. If I was not in shock at what happened earlier, perhaps I was already licking my lips upon seeing his body. “Do I look okay after seeing you?”“You were already not in a good mood when you stepped out of the car.”A low growl escaped from my lips. “You shut your mouth.”He heaved a sigh. “Have you eaten?”“Why does it matter?” I snapped. “Don't pretend like you care
SUNSHINE: My heart pounded wildly against my ribcage as I continued to stare in the mirror. I looked better today compared to my previous look. I invested so much of my time beautifying myself even if we already had our own makeup artist. Will Alpha Jericho think I am beautiful now? It would be a matter of a few minutes and the wedding organizer would call me and it was my time to walk down the aisle.The wedding was an intimate one, participated by my Mother, my stepfather, and my stepbrothers. No friends. Just them and there were also a few on Alpha Jericho’s side. I drew a deep breath as I felt my hands cold. No matter how much I told myself to relax, my body would not listen anymore.I jumped when someone suddenly knocked on the door.Glancing over my shoulder, I frowned when I saw it was none other than my favorite stepbrother, Alpha Knoxx whose goal was to make my life miserable. Note the sarcasm. His eyes roamed over my body, but did not say anything.If not for Alpha Ezra,
SUNSHINE:The song entitled Beautiful in White wafted through the air sung by a woman who I already forgot her name. Jericho and I had chosen this singer because we believed that she could give the same justice to the song.The singer smiled at me as I walked down the aisle.I returned my gaze to the altar.My chest had been pounding wildly nonstop. A few minutes after Knoxx left, the wedding organizer called my presence saying I would be now walking down the aisle. Images of Jericho and that woman writhing in pleasure in bed could not get out of my mind. My family was happy to see me dressed in my wedding dress. Mother was crying while Alpha Ezra was consoling her nonstop.Knoxx and I locked gazes. 'Fool,' he whispered in my mind. ‘Did your Mother raise you like that?’'Shut up. This is my life. I will decide on my own.' 'See that asshole? He is smiling at your foolishness. He is only doing this because you are not his mate. It's because of me. He thinks you're important in my l
SUNSHINE:My stepbrother was the last thing that I expected to save me. But he did. He put me at his back and smilingly looked at Jericho."Only a coward hits a woman, Jericho. You just proved how low you are. No one's allowed to hit and hurt my dearest stepsister." Except me, he added through our link.A shiver ran down my spine. "Don't involve yourself, Knoxx. This is our fight. This is against me and Jericho."As if not hearing me at all, Knoxx held his hand as if to protect me which was confusing. We both hated each other."Coward," Knoxx called again. "Hit her and you will wage war against our pack which I won't back down. I've been dying to kick your butt, but I don't have any chance.""Alpha Knoxx," someone called. It was my stepfather with a stern look on his face as if he was saying we should never create a scandal. However, it already started. "I'll be bringing away your ex-fiancee." Knoxx pulled my hands and dragged me to the exit of the church. Reminded that I still ha
SUNSHINE:The servant shrieked and closed her mouth when Jericho glared at her.Helena rose inside my head and looked at Jericho with puppy dog eyes. Under the water, I fisted my hand. “Jericho. Why are you here? I thought I already made myself clear by rejecting you.”A low growl emitted from his throat.How this mutt managed to entire this room was still something I wanted to know. “Leave us,” he muttered to the servant who was frozen on the ground. The servant was about to open her mouth, but I shook my head.I’m physically tired. I had no energy to deal with him. “Close the door when you leave,” I instructed the servant.“Don’t you tell your alpha I am here,” Jericho added. “We will only be talking.”I don’t think we will only be talking. When the servant did not even move, I smiled reassuringly at her, silently telling her that everything would be fine. In the end, she obliged until it was only Jericho and I left inside the room. “Sunshine.”I dipped my body into the water,
SUNSHINE:Mate.My head spun in a moment and even Alpha Knoxx also realized our connection. He was my second chance mate? Why? I was not prepared for this nor wanted any of this. I haven't moved on from my failed relationship and now there was my stepbrother?His nostrils flared and clenched his jaw. “Mate? What kind of fuck twist is this?”I shook my head and watched him in panic. “You think I also want this? You’re the last person I wanted to become a mate.” There had to be some kind of mistake. Why would this happen?Growling, Alpha Knoxx said, “No one will know of this.”Yeah. For the first time, I agreed with him. No one should know of our relationship or else, we will become the cause of ridicule and mockery among the pack. They all knew Knoxx and I had a dog and cat relationship, always biting each other’s heads.And having a mate as my stepbrother? We were siblings. What would Alpha Ezra think? What about Mother?“You think I also like this? You’re the last person I wanted t
SUNSHINE:When I reached the dining room, Mother and her husband as well as my other five stepbrothers were already at the table. Knoxx's delicious scent hit me hard.'Mate,' Helena exclaimed. 'Let's go to him, Sunshine.''Knoxx is our enemy, Helena. He ruined our wedding, remember?' I recalled. I tiptoed, making my presence as small as possible, but they noticed my presence. Especially Knoxx. "Sunshine. We've been waiting for you," Alpha Ezra said. Did they?Sometimes, I couldn't help but feel that my presence felt like it was no longer essential in this house. Or was it not necessary in the first place? It was only me who was asking for a spot in this family. The five siblings were having a great time eating and talking about what happened in their day.I bowed. "Sorry to keep you waiting.""That's okay. Have a seat." He motioned the seat next to Knoxx. But instead, I sat opposite him. If there was no other vacant seat. I wanted this to end as soon as possible. I could not sta
SUNSHINE:"Alpha Ezra…" I started, forcing my tears to come out. I began acting and sniffed as if I was about to cry. Alpha Ezra growled. "Knoxx!""Father. I'm sure the alpha had some excuse. We cannot arrive at a hasty decision. Brother is rational," the second stated. Bernard. The beta of the pack.Of course, the beta would always side with the alpha. In this house, it would always be me against the five of them. Me against these five powerful men in this pack. However, I was done with being the submissive type. It was also the reason why Aloha Jericho cheated on me. He thought I was easy to fool. "Alpha Ezra...did you know that Alpha Knoxx was the one who told me that Alpha Jericho was having an affair? Yes. A few minutes before the wedding. He was that kind of dick.""Hey! Watch your mouth! That is the aloha you're referring to!" Beta Benedict roared. "Benedict! Lower your voice.""But Father. Can't you see that woman is making us fight among ourselves?""Sunshine, keep quiet
