Alessia and Marcus left the kindergarten an hour later in a good mood. She certainly felt so happy being with the kids. She felt their precious smiles and warm welcome. Marcus cleared his throat and looked at Alessia" I never knew you liked kids. " Alessia said." Because you never asked. " He replied" Or maybe because you were always grumpy towards me, sometimes you are nice and sometimes you aren't. It's just like you keep on having mood swings. " Alessia lamented, frowning.He didn't like how she phrased it because he doesn't seem to have mood swings. Her statements made him feel like a teenager who couldn't manage his emotions, which was terrible for his Alpha reputation.He denied, a little too loudly to be convincing, " N-no." " Don't say that out loud, but I don't have mood swings."Alessia couldn't stop laughing at his bizarre behaviour.His eyes impulsively caved in to the need to glance back down at her lips, simply to get a good mental picture of her laughing, as he look
"We discovered a hunter roaming the territory. We also discovered a lot of silver in his backpack." Duncan informed Marcus as soon as he arrived.Marcus was enraged at the prospect of a hunter walking around his domain." How did he manage to come this far by himself?" Marcus probed, his question focused on himself.He lowered his gaze to the unconscious man on the ground."Perhaps there was a trail or something. He must have an accomplice." Duncan murmured, lost in thought." Put him in a cell and I will interrogate him when he wakes up."***Days later…Layla entered the dungeon, hoping no one would notice her as she approached Louisa's cell." Future Luna," Layla called, Louisa frowned, standing up and keeping a safe distance from the silver bars. " How are you managing?"" I can't wait to get out of this hellhole and exact my wrath." She exclaimed, enraged." I wish I could help you get out of here, but I'm afraid I can't." Louisa only rolled her eyes as Layla murmured."What is g
Alessia didn't say anything until they got to her place, so the drive back to Las Vegas was long and quiet. As she stepped out of the car and proceeded towards her apartment, she didn't even bother to look at Duncan.She knelt to look beneath the flower pot, assuming Zelda had put the key there for her, and she was correct. She walked in after opening the door.She let the tears stream down her cheeks. She couldn't believe how much her life had altered since meeting Marcus. She had assumed that what they had would last a long time, if not an eternity, but Marcus didn't appear to think so, as he didn't seem to have the least trust in her.Her perception of Marcus shifted the minute he told Duncan to take her away. Even if he believed she had done something wrong, it didn't explain his extreme coldness and contempt toward her. For crying out loud, he didn't even attempt to believe her! How could he do that? Worse, he had stated that she was a mistake. She thought she was supposed to be
Marcus sat in the car, dressed in a black tuxedo, watching the store across the street. He stared at it for a long time; he had just seen Alessia enter the shop and wished he could stop, touch her, and explain himself to her, but he lacked the guts to do so. He was unsure how she would respond if he approached her after a month. For the the past few weeks, he had missed her. He felt as if he had lost a part of him when he watched her leave without stopping her.Marcus wasn't sure how long he'd been staring at the shop, but his patience was wearing thin as he grew annoyed at not being able to catch a glimpse of her.He remembered her face becoming pale when he told her that she was a mistake. She tried to explain that she didn't know who the man was, but he was too upset to believe her. He had looked at her with disgust, wanting to believe her, but remembering what the humans had done to his parents and how deceitful they can be, he couldn't help but think of her that way the moment he
Marcus halted the car with a hand over his face, took a long breath, and opened his mouth to finally squeeze out an apology, but the unexpected look on her face stopped him."Alessia, please look at me. That was not my intention." Marcus quickly corrected his statements after realising what he had just said."No, I understand. You despise humans, including me. Even if they're wrong, you'll always choose your pack members over me." Alessia interrupted him."I swear it was only a slip of the tongue. None of those words were intended in any way. My pack, including you, is very important to me." He quickly shifted his gaze to her." How do I know for certain? How can I trust someone who doesn't believe in me? Marcus, you told me to leave. I begged you to trust me, but all you did was turn your back on me." Despite the fact that she knew Marcus must have heard her voice crack when she mentioned his lack of trust in her, she gulped and continued, ignoring the impulse to release a few tears
" So you have a traitor in your pack, but how come?" Alessia muttered, her mind wandering to Louisa. Marcus' mind, on the other hand, was elsewhere, still thinking about what Draven had said. Could she be pregnant? Was he going to be a father? Despite the fact that she didn't appear to be. He was confident that if she was pregnant, she would inform him since he had the right to know. What if she really is? What would he do now?He adored children and had always desired a family, but now that his wishes seemed to be coming true, he wasn't feeling it." Did you hear what I said just now?" Alessia asked, tilting her head to face him." Are you keeping something from me?" Marcus asked a question that caught her off guard." What exactly do you mean?" She questioned, nervously swallowing her saliva while feigning oblivion." Is there anything I should be aware of?" He asked again, his gaze fixed on her."No, why did you ask?"" Nothing. " He muttered under his breath. " I'd drive you to yo
" Aren't you going to go talk to him before he leaves? " Zelda asked Alessia, who kept pacing up and down in the living room, trying to think of what Marcus and Kane could be talking about. She was afraid that Marcus would be so angry with her for talking to Kane but what could she do? Kane was Zelda's boyfriend, yes. Zelda had explained their encounter to her and how he opened up to her about being a Vampire. Although Zelda didn't want to take things so fast but she couldn't help feeling the magnetic pull towards him. She just keeps feeling attracted to him that she can't help it anymore and decided they should just get into a relationship." I don't think I want to face him right now. He must hate me for talking to Kane and moreover I'm keeping away my pregnancy from him which I think isn't right. " " Yes, it isn't. I think it would be better for you to tell him that you're carrying his child. It would be better for you to inform him than for him to find out himself. " Zelda encour
Marcus stood up as Alessia shuffled out of his hold, he simply stood in place, his dark eyes glaring at nothing in particular as anger started to boil inside him. Who the hell was knocking on the door by this time? He had been so caught up in what he was doing that he failed to pick up the sound of an unwanted guest." I thought you said… " " I know what I said. " Marcus scowled, clenching his jaw. Why can't the person find the right time to come instead of cutting through what they were about to do? Marcus already had a freaking boner!" I hope you wouldn't go to the door like that. " She frowned, pointing at his naked body. " I can go out the way I like. Don't tell me you only want this to satisfy your eyes. " He cocked his head and smirked." Whatever, " She scoffed, rolling her eyes. It was his body anyway! But she couldn't help but fume in anger at another person seeing him like that. What if it's a woman at the door?" I'm sure I'm going to kill whoever is behind that door. "
