~ JANE ~ “Move to your room? No way, Alpha. What if you kill me in my sleep?” I didn’t know why or how I was able to utter that?“Kill you in your sleep?” He frowned, retracting his hands from my shoulders. “If I wanted you dead, I’d have done that with the multiple chances I had.” “I can manage here on my own. Thank you for your kindness.” I forced out, bowing my head. Something hit the window and made me flinch, clinging to his shoulders for support. “You’re scared of an ordinary bird, how do you expect to survive on your own?” he lifted his brows at me, with a 'seriously, omega' look. “I was only startled.” I pulled away from him, still frowning. Why on Earth would he care about whether or not someone killed me when he almost wanted me dead? “I can manage on my own. I don’t need sympathy.” I gruffed. Girl, you definitely want yourself dead. A low growl vibrated in his throat. “Be in my room in five minutes, else…” he trailed off. His voice was calm, yet it possessed that auth
“My help? But why?” I wondered. “I have no idea.” She moaned. “I’m so confused. I don't know who to ask for advice, so you’re the only one I can confide in.” Her eyebrows were curled upwards in worry. “That makes me feel… good?” I smiled and nodded, glad I was worth someone to confide in by my pack member. “Okay. How do you think I’ll be able to help you?” “I have no idea. You’re the Alpha’s slave, you should at least know a bit.” She poured like a child. “You’re the Alpha’s Beta and previous best friend. You should—”“Still his best friend, not previous.” She frowned. “Sorry. I meant, you’re his best friend. You'd know better than an ordinary slave.” I shrugged. “Seriously Jane? You felt the best you could do is to not help me?” she lifted an eyebrow at me. “I’m confused and need help!” “I know you are.”“Just at least let me know you’ll help me out even if you won’t.'' She heaved a sigh. “Okay, I’ll help you out in the best possible way I can.” She grabbed her tray from the
~ KEEGAN ~That explained it all. I wasn’t going crazy or having any mental disorder, it was just one of the weird occurrences associated with being a werewolf. I chortled, glad I knew what the problem was now. “Does that make you happy?” He asked with a lopsided smile. “Yes, happy to know that I know what the issue is. The solution will be easy to achieve now.” “I'm glad I could be of help to the Alpha's confusion.” “No one must ever find out about our discussion tonight. If anyone does, I’ll make you drown in a pool of wolfsbane potion.” I threatened, narrowing my eyes at him. “Whoa!” He lifted his hands in surrender. “No one would find out. It’s between me and you, Alpha.” The usual sternness and professionalism of his face returned. “I’ll head to bed now. You should also return to your mate, your pup needs you.” I winked at him and his eyes brightened again. “I’m so sorry for not letting you know there’ll be a new pack member.” He apologized. “It’s no problem.” I locked my
“Scarlett!” I jerked away from Alpha Keegan, panting to catch my breath. “Wh-why… nothing is…” She slowly crouched to pick her phone up and walked up to us, her blue eyes were squinted in awe as she stared between both of us. “What’s going on?”“N-nothing is going on. What do you mean? Nothing at all. I-it's.. uhm…. I… I don’t. It’s not. Nothing, I promise.” My chest was rising and falling faster than normal. “What's wrong with you?” Alpha Keegan frowned, furrowing his eyebrows at me in confusion, his eyes returned to its normal shade of amber. “You look like you’re about to pass out.” “I’ve been searching everywhere for you, Jane. There’s nothing in your room.” Scarlett said, her face had a blank expression that scared me even more. I wondered what was going on in her head. “Yes… uh… I… my room was…. Alpha Keegan…” I stuttered, unable to find the perfect words to fit as a sentence. “The omega was almost attacked more than two times. Someone came to her room while she was in, and
My arms flailed wildly in the air as the person pulled me behind the trees. My screams were reduced to nothing by the fabric that covered my mouth. The person's strength was greater than mine so my effort was meaningless. When the person came to a halt, he appeared in front of me to stop me from running away and handed over a small envelope to me. Behind the envelope, it said, ‘I mean no harm. Be calm. Just open the envelope.’ in the same handwriting as last time. How could I trust this person? What if a bomb or something that could harm me that was inside the envelope? Out of curiosity, I opened the envelope and slipped out a photograph. There was a child in the picture who was facing backwards and was running into the arms of two people whose faces were cropped out. The photograph looked old, like it was taken many years ago. I lifted a confused brow at the person who nodded for me to continue. Lifting the photo up, there was a different note. 'Lift the paper up. And goodbye.’ “
I squealed and jumped out of the couch to grab the blanket on the bed and wrapped it around my body. Crystal still had her eyes widened in awe, her feet were glued to the floor as she fixed her focus on Alpha Keegan. Alpha Keegan trudged to the bed and sat beside me, getting rid of his wrist watch and shoes. “Mason is back.” He said to Crystal without looking at her and started unbuttoning his shirt. “Uh… o-okay.” She let out a sharp breath, fidgeting with her fingers. “Jane— Omega, you can use these ointments. I’ll leave them here. Meet up with me for proper and complete treatments later.” She quickly dropped two packs of what I assumed were ointments and closed her box before running out of the room and shut the door. I was still trying to catch my breath from the way I had screamed, while Alpha Keegan got rid of his shirt, not minding my presence. He rose from the bed and walked up to the table. His shirtless body drained my anxiety, the way his biceps moved around as he grabb
Scarlett had requested for me to bring her breakfast to her room. I knew it meant she had something to say. I headed to her bedroom and walked in after she permitted me to, serving her dinner on the table. “So, I’m confused again. I feel like I sounded stupid for mentioning the anniversary to Keegan and asking him to act like my boyfriend, at the sane time. It didn’t make any sense, right?” Of course it didn’t! But there was no way I was saying that to her. “I ought to have said it in a more playful manner.” Her eyebrows were curled upwards in worry. “The party is soon and I don’t know what to do. How am I supposed to go there without him? My parents would think I’m crazy for deceiving them.” she rumbled. “I’m sure it’ll be fine.” I had no idea on how I was supposed to help her, but I was glad she could confide in me. “No way! I want Keegan to come with me.” She groaned, burying her head in a pillow. “Gosh, I’m so frustrated!”“If he doesn’t—”“If he doesn’t come with me, my parent
I woke up from the not beautiful sleep of my life, the satisfaction could be felt from deep in my bones as I stretched my arms and legs out till I bumped into something a bit hard and also soft. I didn’t care to check and wrapped my arms around it, also placing my leg over the figure. “If you’re fully awake, you have to realize that I’m a living creature too.” Alpha Keegan's deep voice made me jerk awake and realize that his body was the figure. I quickly pulled away from him and sat up straight, my cheeks flushed with an embarrassed blush. “I'm so sorry.”“You have the worst sleeping habit ever.” He gruffed with a roll of his eyes, laying his head on the pillow properly. “Please forgive me. How am I even—” I remembered that he had asked me to sleep on his bed. It wasn’t my fault he insisted that I sleep on his bed. “I’m sorry.” I still added. He tilted his head, squinting his eyes at me like he was trying to derive information from the depth of my eyes. “Is there any problem?” I
