"I'm sorry, Alpha...I just...wanted to help. I didn't want the pack to get into trouble..." Alpha Cole paced his living room, his jaw ticking in fury, his muscles bulging with each step he took. Surprisingly, it was where he had taken me, not a cold cell or the stake. "I....I'm sorry..." I hated disappointing the one person who had saved me multiple times. "If you wanted to fucking help, you should have focused on your training. What do you think would have happened tonight if you had succeeded?" My throat was dry and I struggled to keep tears off my eyes. He stopped pacing, taking a deep breath, a growl tearing from his throat. Then he took the seat beside me, his voice calmer. "I am really curious about what goes on in your head. Is this trauma from everything? Do you need to talk to the pack psychiatrist?" What? I was traumatised from Konstantine laying his hands on me, but it always came in form of suffocation at night when I was unable to breathe. And those time

"Aria...don't fucking faint on me." My eyes started to pry open. Sometime in the middle of the cold sea, the clouds had opened to strong torrents of rain. I had shivered as the harsh splashes drenched us whole, and may have fallen asleep in the middle.Or passed out entirely. But when I came to, the rain was merely drizzling in a lazy manner, and I was lying on the shores, wrapped in Alpha Cole's wet jacket."Where...are we?" My teeth was gritting in cold, my lips trembling as my eyes opened. The rain had done a number on my Alpha, drenched his dark shirt which clung to his body, water dripping from his long hair and lashes.Fucking sexy. "We are safe here, come on, let's get to where we'll spend the night." He tugged me upwards, and I wrapped my arms over my shivering body, and followed him at a slow pace.I realised that my heels were gone when I started to walk, and I turned to see that he was holding the pair, his red lips a hellish wet dream. I couldn't be this horny even

I was avoiding my boss and Alpha. I limited our interactions to e-mail and avoided his eyes when I met him.I was embarrassed, and even more hurt. Then I was humiliated at myself; for how long would I fall for Holly's manipulation?It was even worse that I had to see her everyday and respect her rank.Then it was harder because different women visited the pack house more often and rode the elevator to the penthouse. The pain in my chest pushed me into being couped up in my room whenever I returned from work.And at that moment, I was grateful that Raine was always busy or she would have probed till I mistakenly spilled. On Saturday, I woke up to a knock on my door, and I was surprised to see Genevieve when I staggered to open it. She held a tablet and seemed really busy. "Change and go to the shooting range. The Alpha is waiting for you."Shit shit, double shitty shit.I thought he had forgotten everything about that night that meant so much to me. "Oh...okay." I muttered, and s

"Damn! You look good!""How good?" I asked Raine on Saturday when we finally got time away from work to tend to our personal business.She stared at my reflection through the long dressing mirror of the shopping mall, sweeping a hair away from my face. "Good enough to eat, you know, in that way." That of course earned her a disgusted expression from me, my lips turned down jokingly. "Yuck." She gave me the middle finger. "But seriously, you haven't told me what prompted this decision." She was staring at me curiously, but I would shrink before I admitted to the humiliation I had gone through.My new look stared back at me in the mirror. My auburn hair had been cut to shoulder length and tinted at the tips.Although I wasn't wearing any make-up, my slightly tanned skin glowed more with the spa treatment we had undergone. Waxing my legs made me see how smooth and long they really were. With the shoulder length straight hair, I looked more mature and exotic and features like high ch

"So, do I call you Alpha Cage?" His smirk was dangerous, but not in a way that made me flood my panties. "Why don't you just address me as Sexy Cage, or hottie?"What was he? Fourteen? I raised a brow.I needed to know his status and understand why he knew those things about me. Each time I attended a function with Alpha Cole, one strange thing or the other kept occurring. First was Alpha Kyrian, then Konstantine's pack and now Cage?I was starting to get drained. Exhausted from all the drama.Cage held my waist, pulling me closer to him, his other hand linked with mine.But I felt nothing.Because occasionally, my eyes darted to Alpha Cole's, and for a few moment, it seemed like those golden eyes were focused on me.Just me."Falling in love with Cole is the greatest mistake you can make. What do you think happened to the last Luna?"My concentration snapped towards Cage, shock and disbelief flooding my eyes as I looked up to him.I almost missed a step."What?" My voice was bar
