LOGINMandy"What does he want this time?" Landon asks.Timothee makes his way to the couch we are sitting on and settles himself in the space between Landon and I. And I knew he did it on purpose, by the way. Not that I mind."The usual. Looking for you," he says as he looks at Landon, then at me. "And you as well."Landon sighs heavily. "What does he want this time?"But I immediately interjected. "You mean, what problem and issues did he make this time?"Timothee's eyes go at me, then back to London. He did that several times before asking the both of us."Did you guys not know?"I frown. "Know what?""What Alexander Ford did! It was all over the news! Did you guys seriously not know?""We don't know what you're talking about, Timothee," Landon says. He's also frowning, looking equally clueless as I am."Oh, my God!" Timothee groans in annoyance before he grabs his phone from the pocket of his pants. He opens his phone, clicks a few times, and does a scroll for a couple of minutes, and t
Mandy"That's enough," Landon says as he takes my phone away from me, earning him a gasp from me."What are you doing? Give that back to me!" I tell him the moment I am over being surprised at what he's done.I try to reach for my phone, but Landon immediately raises his hand, making it more impossible for me to reach it.I huff, and a frown forms on my forehead. "Why are you suddenly being an asshole?"I follow his hand that is holding my phone as he lowers it down. I am thinking of grabbing it from him again, but he's fast at putting my phone inside the pocket of his pants, making me grumble.When my eyes turn to look at his face again, he is grinning from ear to ear, looking so pleased."I am two steps ahead of you, lady. I already knew what you'd do before you had even thought of it," he says proudly.I sat back on the couch, slightly bouncing on it, and crossed my arms over my chest.I look away from him and tell him, "I hate you.""No, you don't," he replied as he took the space
Mandy "How did that happen? What changed?" I asked Landon as my happiness and excitement start to settle down. "According to Dr. Dunn—I actually called her two days ago after I brought you here—there are a lot of possibilities—" "Hold on," I say, cutting him off. "Did you just say two days ago? Did I hear that right?" "Yes. You've been unconscious for two days—" "What?" I can't help but scream as I hear that. "I was unconscious for two days? How? Why? Did something more happen that night? Wait, I remember that the alphas in that hall got affected by my pheromones." My eyes widen. "Could it be..." I immediately take off the comforter that's been covering my body. I need to see if there are bruises or anything. Shit. I can feel the fast beating of my heart as worry and nervousness start to surround me. What if... No, I can't think that way. There's no way... My hands that are fretting have been put to a stop when Landon holds them, prompting me to look at him. There's a gentle
Mandy"Stop it, Landon. Please stop this."Alexander Ford's eyes go to me the moment I say those words. But I don't pay him any attention. Just like all the other guests that are also staring at me.My focus remains on Landon, and Landon alone.With my hand still linked against his, I squeeze his arms gently, wanting to get his attention just in case I was not able to do so even after I said those words in a pleading tone."Landon, please. I know you're mad, but I also know that you truly don't want this."Finally, Landon turns to look at me. And I am a bit taken aback when I see how his eyes have turned golden, a sign of how his alpha instincts have taken over his rationality.Shit. If I continue to let him be, he might really end up murdering everyone here except me and his grandfather.I slowly withdraw my arm that is linked to him because I want to fully face him and touch him more if he needs it. But before I can even fully take my arm off of his, he tightens his hold on my arm,
MandyJust like before, all eyes are on me and Landon as we make our entrance to the hall where our engagement party is happening. And once again, aside from the people and the music, whispering fills the entire hall again.And the funny thing is, despite this being our engagement party, none of the guests that are inside this hall seem to be happy for us. In fact, it is the complete opposite.None of the guests are happy with this engagement. Not even the family of my fake fiancé is acting happy about this.I shake my head.If this is a real engagement, and if I am really in love with Landon, this scene will definitely make me heartbroken. I'd probably run away from here because, obviously, none of the people present at this party like my presence."I've always thought that something's more wrong about her aside from being a dominant omega," I heard one of the old female guests say. She had three companions with her, two females and one male, and all of them were looking at me with d
Mandy"Are you good?" Landon asks me as we are nearing the hotel where the engagement party is being held."Yep. I'm as good as I can be," I replied to him.And I am not lying. I do really feel good.For some reason, I feel calm and collected. Unlike the previous party and the times that I had to meet his family, I don't feel any nervousness right now. I feel chill and, oddly, excited, which is crazy because I should have no business feeling excited. But then here I am, feeling like no matter what happens now and no matter what insults Landon's family is going to hurl at me, I still will be okay. Like, I won't be upset or anything. I feel like I am going to be calm the whole night."Something's different with you today," Landon comments while staring at me."Really?""Yes. You look calm.""I am always calm."He raises one of his brows. "Really? So we are both going to forget the times that you were nervous?""Me? Nervous? Dude, I don't even know that word exists."Landon gives me a lo
LandonSweet, warm, and floral—that's how Mandy's pheromones smell. And it smells so good.I don't know how strong Mandy's pheromones could be, but based on how I was able to smell them right away when Mandy was not even able to let it all out, they seem to be strong enough.I wonder if the strong
MandyI am quite aware that I am staring at Landon so intently, and I know he is aware of it too but is acting like he doesn't.In any other normal circumstances, I would never dare stare at him like this—as if I were a hawk waiting for my prey—but with how he has been acting since this morning, al
MandyI am taking back my words. I am actually not okay as I thought I would be. I am not composed at all, and I couldn't keep myself calm no matter how much I try.It's been more than twenty minutes since we had dinner, and now here I am in my room, bathed and fully clothed while pacing nervously
Mandy“Alright. This is fine,” says Timothee after checking the new contract that Landon and I have already signed and then giving each of us a copy. And then he looked at his wristwatch before putting his gaze on his boss. “That's all, right? We're done now, right?“Landon nods. “Yes.““Okay. Then
