Anger

/-Tediora-/

We came in second.

Barely.

A two-minute difference was all it took for Zeke and his partner to edge out Dominic and me in the Alpha-Bodyguard treasure hunt. Two minutes. Sixty seconds, twice. The judges praised us both, said it was the closest final round they’d seen in years. It should’ve made me proud.

But Zeke, stoic, storm-eyed Zeke, just shot me a look that could freeze lava and walked off before the applause even died.

Not a nod. Not a congratulations. Not a damn word.

Dominic and I wore the same expression on shock. We had no idea that Zeke would be participating in the hunt. At least that's what Dominic said.

Of was this way of trying to monitor me in case I tried to “cheat”?

And yet, I wasn’t discouraged. If anything, it made me more determined.

He was my brother’s mate.

Mariel’s mate.

That meant he knew a side of Mariel I didn’t. A part of my twin I would never get to hear about otherwise. I had to try. I needed answers. Stories. Pieces of

  • The Alphas' Bodyguard Is A Girl   The Plan

    Chapter 25The Plan/-Tediora-/I stood up abruptly and began walking away. “Hey! Where are you going?” He called after me but I ignored him. I needed to get some fresh air before I lost my freaking mind. As I walked through the garden, I thought about everything Theodore said to me. Zeke was there with Mariel that day. So why didn't he protect him? Why would he let his mate die? Injured and alone.My chest felt tight and I grabbed onto the railing, shutting my eyes tightly. When I came to MoonCrest, I had just one goal in mind. Find the murderer and give him a slow torturous death. Yet all I have done since I came here is draw unnecessary attention to myself without making any progress. I needed to think of something. Something that would make the murderer uncomfortable. Anything to make him or them realize that Mariel's death will not be swept under the rug. “If I had better control of my magic, everything would be so much easier,” I sighed. 'Don't forget there are limitation

  • The Alphas' Bodyguard Is A Girl   An Unlikely friend

    Chapter 24An Unlikely friend /-Tediora-/Silence fell in the hall and my eyes fell on my saviour. Theodore?A puzzled expression crossed my face. Since our last match together, I haven't seen or interacted with him so there was no logical reason for him to save me. Or did he want to deal with me himself? That had to be it. It was the only logical explanation for this situation. As he approached me, I devises a means of escape. Since my dinner was already ruined, the best thing to do was make a run for it. “Let him go,” Theodore ordered. The boys hesitated for a second and he grabbed Ziv in a blink of an eye. “Did I stutter?” Colour drenched out of their faces immediately and murmurs began spreading around the hall slowly. “You heard him, let go!” Marn ordered and I was immediately released. Before I could think of running, Theodore placed a hand on my shoulder. My heart skipped atleast three beats. “Are you okay?” His voice was laced with concern as his eyes rested on me. I

  • The Alphas' Bodyguard Is A Girl   Bullied

    Chapter 23Bullied/-Tediora-/I made sure not to let my panic show.“Why? Do you think I used one of them to beat you?” I asked and his eyes flamed red. “If you wanted one, all you had to do was ask, not steal.”“You bastard!” He barked, grabbing me by the collar. I remained unfazed, staring at him. Because playing nonchalant was the only way out of this. He shoved me against the lockers, “Don't think for a second that I am done with you. I will definitely get you one way or the other.” I pretended to wipe his spit off my face. “Can you say that without opening my mouth so wide? It's gross.” His fists moved and I was lucky to dodge it in an instant and he inevitable punched the wall. He released me immediately, wincing in pain as his knuckles bled.I could only imagine how painful that was. He was already healing, but it would take about a minute or two and those few minutes were pure hell for him. I would have been cooked if that punch met my face. I moved to my bed, ignoring hi

    /-Tediora-/Jasmines. The sweet pleasant smell grew stronger with each passing minute. I stared at him. Like, really looked. Deep into those amber eyes, I tried to understand if he was really unaware of our bond. Was he pretending? Perhaps because of the ring on his finger?“Alvin,” I responded. “That is my name and you are…” the words wouldn't leave my throat. I was confused. Contemplating it all at the same time. If he didn't know of our connection, it was best to just pretend it didn't exist right?Especially since I was going to reject him anyways. I would never, ever, accept a Phantom Wolf as mate. I don't dare if I have to run wild or leave with the bear for the rest of my life. I will not disrespect my brother's memory like that. Ava whimpered. She clearly didn't agree with me. “Alvin…” He repeated. “A little basic but okay.”His eyes pierced into mine once again. “i go straight to the point, Alvin. I am a straight man with a fiancee. You and I cannot be together.” My lash

  • The Alphas' Bodyguard Is A Girl   Caught?

    Chapter 22Caught?/-Tediora-/Asher raised a brow. I gritted my teeth, cursing with everything inside of me. It was clear that I had misjudged him. Judging from his kind exterior and kindness the first time we met, I thought he would be a cool-headed person. Unfortunately, I was wrong. So dead wrong!“What happened? Were you not just about to reject me?” He asked. When I didn't respond, he scoffed. “I thought so too.” I clenched my fists tightly. “Don't even think for a second that I want this bond. I won't hesitate to reject you if I could!” I spat. “And why can't you?” “It is none of your business!” I hissed. He massaged his temple with a sigh. “Look, a mate bond runs deeper than you think. If you are going to run mindlessly I to danger and get yourself killed, what do you think will happen to me? I do not like you, not in the very least, I detest the very thought of being mated to a man, but if you die, my wolf could run mad!” Oh so that's what this about. This whole hostili

  • The Alphas' Bodyguard Is A Girl   Rejection?

    Chapter 21Rejection?/-Tediora-/Later that night, I was summoned to the PW floor. I didn't know what to expect but I didn't know I was going to be walking in on all four of them there.Dominic, Zeke, Rhys, and that jerk, Asher. I couldn't help but wonder what they wanted from me and why they were staring at me like I had grown a second head. “I heard you were injured during patrol,” Dominic said. “How's your injury now?” He seemed genuinely worried about me and it made me happy. “I am fine now. My wounds are all healed up,” I told him. “Thanks for asking.” “You are a terrible bodyguard, you know,” Asher spoke suddenly and I blinked. “First time working together and you managed to do such a terrible job. How were you able to pass Dominic’s assessment again?” I blinked. Stunned. Where the hell did that venom come from? To think he was saying it so calmly, laughing about it like it was some sort of joke. It wasn't funny.It wasn't funny.Not even a little.The way Asher leaned ag
