121. Marry me

~Allister~ A few nights ago, Jess had placed her spare key in my hand as a way of assuring me that she wasn’t scared of being with me, nor was she having doubts about our union. That night, I was scared to bits that the story Victor told her about me would make her not want to have anything to do with me again. But when she handed me a spare key to her apartment, the single act chased away all my anxiety and made my needy ass of a wolf calm. I’m not a saint, I’ve never pretended to be, but I’ve figured it's best to keep the violent side of me far away from Jess. Not because I’m ashamed, but because I’m terrified of what she’ll think or even how she will react if she finds out that… I stop the thought before it finishes forming. My wolf stirs quietly in my chest, impatient. Slowly, I slide the key into the lock and open the door. Leo had ensured to bring back the key after setting everything up with the decorators about an hour ago. Shutting the door and locking it, I slip the k

122. Engagement Day

~Jess~“Ma’am Sarah, you need to eat some food before you leave,” Olga, our loyal hiousekeeper tells Sarah, who just got down the stairs, already in a crystal-laced red dress, ready for the day’s event.“Olga, I’m not hungry,” she says, looking at Olga and frowning. “Why are you not dressed?” Then she looks around and spots me still in my house clothes. “You all must be joking. Why am I the only one already dressed for the event? Can’t you see the time? its almost noon!”She slumps on a nearby sofa, looking sad, and I hurry over to her. “Don't be saddd,” I draw out.“But you’re not even dressed,” she whines. “Aren't you stylists already upstairs waiting? Why are you still here?”Truth is, I thought it was too early to get dressed. So, I spent a large chunk of my morning going around the house, reliving memories, and maybe saying my silent goodbyes as I start to count the days before I leave home.Sarah turns to Olga, who is carrying a tray cointaining sarah’s food. “Jess, can you plea

123. Persistent caller

In the car, Allister and I sit side by side, our hands entwined with each other.He seems overly excited, and his eyes are warm with anticipation.“Bloom, finally, it's the D-day,” he says, squeezing my hand gently.A blush creeps across my cheeks as I meet his gaze. “I’ve been looking forward to this day, too.”His thumb traces the back of my hand in small, soothing circles.“Honestly, I wish we could just skip the engagement and marry you right away. I want you to become Mrs. Blackwaters this very instant.”I laughed shyly, teasing him to hide the flutter in my heart. “I’ve never seen a man as impatient as Allister Blackwaters,” I tease. “Whether now or later, I belong to you. Why so impatient?”His fingers trace gentle circles on my palm, “tease me all you want,” his voice drops to a husky whisper. “This is a dream come true for me. So, don't judge”I lift my hands in surrender.Allister confesses that he had once worried I might find the whole arrangement too rushed, hence his rea

124. Committing Suicide

~Allister~ "Why are you calling me, Rhea?" I ask once I pick up the call. "Alli," Rhea calls, her voice sounding so broken. "Will you ever forgive me? I'm so sorry for hurting your feelings. I was only trying to express myself. I wanted you to know exactly how I feel about you. But I guess I went overboard. So, I'm apologizing again, forgive me, please." "What sort of rubbish is all this. Rhea, today is a very special day for me, and I'd really appreciate it if you could let me enjoy and soak it all in. Stop calling me!" "Alli," her voice chokes with sobs. "Remember all that you promised me when I came to be with your family. You promised to protect me. You never judged me for the crimes of my father. You promised not to hurt me or allow any hurt to come to me-" "Have I not kept all my promises to you?" "But," she sniffs back tears. "But I'm hurting, Alli. I'm hurting so much." Since her previous deranged confession, she has stopped calling me “Brother”. Now, her pitiful “Alli”

125. To Beautiful Friendships

~Jess~ After a breathtaking cheeky kiss, Allister abandons Agnes and Ursula and goes on to speak to some of the other Alphas in the room. But his eyes keep drifting back to me even as he looks immersed in whatever they're discussing. Every single time I catch his eye, my chest warms. Agnes nudges me with her elbow. “Your man is staring again.” “He’s not staring,” I whisper. “He absolutely is " Ursula snorts into her drink. “He looks like he can't breathe without you." I try to hide my smile as my fingers brush my engagement ring. When Agnes and Ursula saw my ring, they almost went crazy with excitement. It was their first time seeing it because Allister and I had a private engagement, just how I like it, just us. Gosh, that man knows me so well. Across the room, I notice an unfamiliar figure staring right at me. “Who’s that?” I murmur to no one in particular. Agnes follows my gaze and hisses, “That’s Besha Gabret.” Ursula raises a brow. "Do you know everybody, Aggy?"

126. NUH Li-vi-u (Not leaving you).

~Allister~ My guards move instantly, forming barriers between the guests and the shooters, but these men came prepared. They are determined to clear their path through the windows. I flip a banquet table over and drag two guests behind it before the silver bullets start hitting the walls again. Leo is already shouting orders across the comm line. “North entrance compromised!” I quickly pull a fallen guard away from possible gunfire and grab his pistol from the floor beside him. Then Besha Gabret slides behind the table beside me. “Nice party, huh?” he mutters, with a smile. I almost laugh. The guy is crazy to find this entire craziness funny. “You always enjoy engagement parties crashed by gunmen?” “Only if it's the Lycan King’s engagement party," he replies, and I find myself laughing. Besha glances forward, “You want the left or the right?” Leo, Simon, and Julian are already taking care of the entrance hall. Some of my men have mounted positions at the shattered

127. Besha

~Besha~The private waiting area is heavily silent. Allister’s fiancée literally cried her eyes out on the way to the hospital. At some point, I felt she was going to faint or something.I’ve never seen someone cry that much in my entire life. Since she's a doctor, something I just found out, she was allowed into the operating room (OR) with the other doctors who seem to have been carefully selected to attend to the Lycan King.I would have left for my Pack, but I chose to wait around and maybe see if there is any way I can be of help to the family. It still beats me that anyone would be bold enough to attack the Lycan King. Does it mean that Allister Blackwaters doesn’t have enough security surrounding him?It feels shocking that a man as feared and heartless as he will be so carefree with his security.Maybe Frostland shouldn’t be scared of him as we currently are. He might actually be living in past glory and previously instilled fear.I humph and wipe my forehead as a thought cro

128. Illegitimate son

“That bastard! That illegitimate son dares to strike at our family?!” Celine screams, pointing a finger at her mother-in-law“I told you long ago that bastard must not be allowed to live!” she sobs, pointing an accusing finger at the Hamit-Beta’s face. “But you were stupidly loyal to Kedran. Now…” she steps away and waves her hand at all of them. “Now look at the mess. Having fun, aren’t you?”She starts to laugh hysterically. “Now it’s not just affecting me. It's affecting your daughter, too. Guess who is sobbing and miserable on her engagement evening? Your daughter, Gallahan. Our dear Jess. And as much as I blamed Kedran, I blame you, too. If you’d listened, that boy wouldn't have been alive today.”Damn, maybe this is actually where Allister got his heart of stone from.“Listen to me, Gallahan,” she hisses, stepping closer. “If anything happens to Allister, I will come for you, and you,” she points at her mother-in-law, and you,” she points at Adolphus Blackwater. Then I'll kill t

129. He's all I've got

Witnessing the Blackwaters' family washing their dirty laundry out here feels kind of strange.I only came to witness Allister’s engagement and see the woman who stole his heart. When he told me about his engagement, I could only imagine the type of woman his fiancée would be.I even thought it would be an arranged marriage of some sort.I won't lie, if I had a sister, I would have considered an arranged marriage between Allister and her.Not just because of the oil dispute between our Packs, but because of the status such a union will bring. Also, there’s the fact that he will fiercely protect his own.Until now, I’ve always nursed that idea. But seeing him conceding to a mere attacker's demand and getting himself shot pissed me off.Still, I would have been grateful if he did that because of my sister, though.In other words, I didn’t come here to be privy to Silver Valley Pack’s scandals.A flicker of embarrassment crosses my face as my mind recalls all the pieces of information I’

Chapter 130. Poking the bear

Allister’s voice is weak but carries his characteristic fondness for me. Luna Celine’s tears flow down her cheeks. She moves to the upper side of the bed, taking her son’s hand. “You scared me half to death, Allister. If anything had happened to you, I wouldn’t have survived the grief. I love you so much, son.” She breaks into a sob. Seeing his mother's uncontrollable tears, Allister’s eyes soften. He tries to raise his hand to wipe her face, but the movement pulls at his op site. He hisses in pain. Luna Celine quickly dries her eyes, “Look at my face, Al,” she calls him by the nickname only she calls him. “I’m not crying again. I'll never shed even a drop of tears again. I promise.” Allister nods through pain, and I quickly grasp his hand and sob out, “Alli…” “Don’t cry, Bloom.” His voice is hoarse yet gentle. “As long as you’re safe, nothing else matters.” “No, don’t say that,” I cut him off, hastily wiping my tears with my free hand. “We both have to be fine. We’re doing th
