Walking back home, I could not get out the sour feeling covering my chest. It was almost dinner time, and Alessio had insisted that we always have dinner together, but the way things had shifted between us since Halloween night, I wondered if we could even sit in front of each other without getting into a fight. By the time I came out of my room after changing into night clothes, dinner table had already been set and Alessio was waiting for me with the fork in his fist while staring blankly at the table. I took my seat, served food, and started eating. The silence was deafening than any sound I had ever heard. Throughout the dinner he did not make any attempt to talk to me, and neither did I. Both of us were focused on eating but the food going in my mouth appeared tasteless. Just as I drank water, and started standing up, he looked up to stare at me, “How did the Luna training go?” I lowered my body and sat back down. My firsts clenched in my lap as I tried to tame down the ange
“You have a brother?!” I shouted in shock. It was no wonder that all those people stared at me like I was pitiful or mad. My mate has a brother and I don’t recognize him?! Does that make any sense at all?His face contorted with stress immediately when he saw the look on my face. “I did not tell you because our relationship is not the way you think!” “What do I think, Alessio? Tell me. Come on.” I urged with deathly silent voice.He exhaled deeply, pushing the hair out of his forehead and then hissing, “Like the lovey dovery brothers who share each secret. Or the brothers who live under the same roof but just don’t like each other. We are nowhere like that.”“Oh, you got it all just from my silence?” I raised my brows at him questionigly, “you are a genius, Alessio. Now you can just guess immediately what I am thinking about others before I even say a word?”The glare in his gaze intensified, “Don’t talk to me like that, Mia.”I gritted my teeth. I was angry at him for hiding such
I ran through the halls quickly, trying to find Lara at the packhouse. The halls were buzzing with people and everything looked so over the top that I wondered if this appeared more like a grand wedding event instead of The Alpha's meeting. Due to the busyness of all the ongoing preparations of this event, I had only seen Lara run from here to there to make sure everything was perfect. She was helping me handle all the things, and god… it was SO HELPFUL. I don’t think I would have pulled this event off without her help at all. The moment I caught her rushing toward the kitchen I grabbed her by her shoulder and pulled her toward the dinner table, “Come. It is dinner time.” I peeked inside the kitchen, found Nia and whispered, “You will handle from here, please?” Nia grinned and showed me an ‘okay’ sign with a wink. I blew her a kiss and then gave a shove to Lara’s shoulder, “Get to the dinner table already. Daniel has already started giving me death stares thinking I have enslaved h
Daniel, Lara, Beta Neil and Alpha Jay burst out in laughter openly while I felt Alessio shaking right next to me. Afraid if I had angered him by saying anything wrong when I turned my glance towards him, he was grinning openly. His body was shaking because he was laughing. In fact, several other people around the people were laughing hysterically. I felt proud. I had done good. Before I could bask in the glory of my self victory, alpha Derek burst out furiously, “Do not cross your line. Sitting next to someone powerful has made you forget the place you had here when Wyatt ruled? Ungrateful and disrespectful wenc-”“Try and finish that sentence.” Alessio said in a deathly calm tone. The amusement from his eyes had disappeared within a matter of few seconds.Alpha Derek seethed heavily. He was clearly not someone that accepted defeat easily, but to his defence came the middle aged woman sitting next to him that was perhaps his mate, “What is wrong with hearing the truth, Alpha Alessi
“Finally.” Alessio grinned as his palm offered me help climbing up the stairs to enter the hall. There was a really pleased look on his face and the grin the widest one I had seen recently. He had been so busy in these past couple of days, now seeing him in front of me made me realize how much I had missed him even though we had only been apart a few hours. “How do I look?” I teased. “Just needing a prince beside you to complete the look,” he smirked shamelessly. I slapped his arm, laughing hard, “Wow, look at the self assurance you have!” “And here I had thought that I was going to be the centre of attraction.” he grinned dramatically and put his hand on the back of my waist, guiding me inside the hall. I turned my head, staring at him from the top of his head to the bottom of his shoes. His gelled hair set in place, the white, italian suit paired with a black shirt and tie, and the gold cufflinks on his wrists made him look like a prince out of fairytale books. His god-given s
Alessio… The Same Day“I am not hoping for any special favors, but let’s not forget that this part of negotiation will be beneficial for us both.” The old man grumbled, gulping down the fifth glass of expensive whiskey that the waiter had just served him.I forced a small smile, nodding my head, and turned around to walk away. Half of the alphas’ meeting was filled with arrogant idiots who could not manage their own packs for shit. And then alphas’ meeting becomes their ‘negotiation ground’ to boast about stuff that is out of their hands instead of telling straight that they are in need of help.Well, such a damned centuries old tradition to save the face.
She had not been there at the street when I had entered gone there looking for her. I vaguely remembered going through the whole ball hall to try and find her before walking out in the street. She had been nowhere. What was going on?“Lara?!” whispered in a low tone, hoping that she had not gotten in trouble with me.My heart could not stop thumping hard. The anxiety was making me have a panic attack. My throat dry, mind filled with all the bad, terrifying things that could have happened or will be done to me or Lara.Who had abducted me? It was not easy to gain entry in Alessio’s pack. And with the alpha meet event, the security had been a tight one. No one could gain entry or go out without proper solid check.How had it been so easy for someone to abduct me? And how in the hell did I fall for the same fucking trap again?!I always believe people so easily. I always make the same mistake of caring about others even though the gut feeling inside me tells me to do otherwise.What can
Harry’s face turned stern and he stilled. His jaw clenched tight, “I have told you a million times. Do Not call me that!”“What? Harrieta?” the grumbling, playful voice was of a man who was sauntering over to us with a very wide smile on his face. His hair was a bit ruffled, dark. Green eyes. Soft facial features but a sharp jawline. Lean, tall frame. He looked like a typical good boy next door with an edge to him. He grabbed Harry by slinging his arm over Harry’s neck, and grumbled happily, “Aw, but you are the only one for me to have fun with when no one is around, baby. Of course you are my Harrieta.”“Seth!” Harry snapped.Within a second, Seth had twisted Harry by his neck, and thrown him on the ground. Hard. The snap of his knees hitting against the concrete floor was loud and deafening. I could not even imagine the amount of pain that Harry would have gotten.“You don’t raise your voice at me, Harrieta. You know that, right?” Seth’s green eyes burnt with a maddening look as h
