ROSELLA I had a dream. I dreamt for the first time since I became Alpha James's punching bag and a rag doll. All I have ever had were nightmares––horrible ones that wake me up from my sleep with a bloodcurdling cry and sweats of perspiration and anguish gathering all over my forehead. My nightmares had only one monster ––Alpha James–– and if he isn't slashing me with a whip in one, he's slicing my skin off my body in the other. But for the first time, I slept peacefully, and the peaceful sleep bore a beautiful dream filled with bright full moons glazing over grass fields at night and beautiful night stars and my red hair flowing freely with the night breeze in it and a particular blue-eyed creature serving as the cherry on top of my dream. Try as I may deny it, his blue eyes have been the subject of my dreams.Little wonder, my eyes almost popped out of their sockets when I opened my eyes lazily only to find that familiar deep shade of blue looking down at me and sitting beside the

ALPHA JULIANThe constant ringing of my cell phone dragged me out of the short nap. I had heard it ring a couple of times, if not a dozen and more times, but I chose to ignore it. Holding my mate in my arms felt so good I could barely snatch myself away from her. Her scent was so strong and feminine that it tingled my senses. She felt so soft wrapped around my rigid muscles. I felt like one little touch from me would break her more than she was already broken, and so I tried hard not to move as she slept peacefully until I fell asleep myself while holding her in my arms.When I could no longer take the annoying ringing of my cell phone, I slowly untangled my mate from my arms, letting her fall ever so gently onto the bed. Her soft snores tugged at my heartstrings. She was fucking adorable. The dried-up tears on her face were a reminder of the horrible things she told me moments ago, and it makes me want to deliver a hard punch to the wall while imagining it is a particular Alpha's fac

I had always heard about alpha Julian but I never got the chance to meet him personally. I used to think he would be a very bad person with the way Alpha James was always talking about him. But this man here beat all my expectations. He was magical. Okay! I was officially confused right now. I don't get a thing he is saying. What mate bond trial? "Mate bond trial? What for?" I asked in confusion and I saw him sigh. I wanted him to explain to me properly. "It is to see if the bond between you and Alpha James is broken. I know it is. But I definitely have no choice but to give proof of it. The council of elders needs proof that the bond is broken and a mate trial is what we usually do to prove it." He explained further and I got confused the more. "But he mated me!" "That doesn't make you his mate! You're my mate, and the mate bond trial will prove it. The elders will decide on the date for it." This was definitely too much for me to register. He's hell-bent on proving that I'm h

“Julian, don’t push me…” I tell him slowly but he just smirks and then says, “And if I do what are you going to do. You might as well go to hell for all I care, that’s none of my business.” He spits out.“Do you know that she’s pregnant?” I ask him slowly, and for some time I get no response. Silence descends for a while, and no matter how hard I try to know what the fuck he’s thinking, I just can’t.“Do you know she’s carrying my child?” I ask again, louder and clearer this time because I want him to hear every single thing I’m saying. I don’t even know why I’m being this calm, which is so unlike me.“She’s with your child, that’s none of my business. That girl is battered, bruised, and pregnant, and lest I forget she doesn’t need you. The mate hold between you both is broken and she can feel our mate bond now. You don’t feel connected to her again spiritually, It’s just greed left. I think you need to have that in mind, as you leave this place because I’m done with this conversatio

ROSELLAI can’t believe that Julian Rushed to see me. I didn’t even know that he asked them all to check up on me dutifully and report back every second. I have no idea what I’ve done to deserve all these kinds of love, considering the way I’ve been treated by James, and I can’t be more grateful.“Are you okay now?” He asks me, gently stroking my hair, and looking around my body, obviously looking for signs of wounds or bruises and I nod with a shaky smile. I just had a little dream, one which was too real not to be true, and when I woke up seeing that it was a dream, I was so relieved.My scream must have alerted the presence of the doctors and everyone I saw when I woke up, and that was what might have prompted the head doctor to call Julian here. I hated that I had to distract him from his pack duties or preparations for the trial. I hate to be a burden and the last thing I wanted was to be a burden to my second chance mate. “What happened?” Julian asks me, bringing me back from
