Reborn: Fated to my ex mate's brother, the Alpha King のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

Knox “Astrid Woods cheats with the alpha of the Knightdale pack.” I read out loud while I tapped my fingers on the desk.“Isn't that an absurd headline for someone who's already engaged to me?” I scoffed“It really is.” Reyes, a beta and also my assistant answered.“Caleb?” I called without bothering to look at the man who's still shaking and bleeding slightly from the head. My patience had run out earlier. He was the photographer that took the shot that has been circulating online. Immediately the article had gone online, I had ordered for the source to be found. I wasn't really expecting it to be a mere photographer, who by chance doesn't have anything to do with the Knightdale pack.And now he was on his knees right in the middle of the room.Not because I had asked him to kneel but because his legs had stopped cooperating due to how bad he's been trembling.Funny because I haven't even done anything to him. Yet.His camera sat on the table in front of me.I picked it up and scrol

AstridThe meeting rolled on normally enough.The usual boring back-and-forth that I was slowly learning to pay attention to at the right moments and ignore when it started going over my head.A few small arguments broke out here and there which was mainly about the most important issue on ground. Technically about me since I apparently was the cause of the problem in the first place. Despite the little glances thrown my way which reduced as we further go into business, nobody really paid much undue attention to me.Honestly, I almost relaxed.Maybe my first day wouldn't be as terrible as I'd imagined.That was my thought process until Beta Brian, one of the top board members decided to open his mouth.“With respect, Alpha Darius,” he said, not even looking in my direction, “I think we all know why the board is in this mess. But I don't know why Miss Woods here is suddenly among the board members?” He leaned back into the chairs, his eyes darting in every other person's direction but

DerekI watched Astrid’s taxi disappear into the big gates and my hands balled unconsciously. I really hadn't meant to tail her car but when the taxi followed a different route which is definitely not her house, my curiosity got the better of me.So I followed and now I'm outside the gates of Knightdale pack, a place I had purposely stayed away from because I don't want to face Knox. And it infuriates me because I know who she went in to see. The answer was simple but I definitely do not like it, my wolf snarled, agitated in a strange way. Like he could also feel Astrid slipping from my hands. And all this happened because of him. She changed but he shouldn’t be the one to take her from me.My fucking brother.Always my brother.Why does he have to take her too?Why?I vented my anger on the stirring wheel, my hands hitting it over and over again as I growled out.Everything in the past few weeks had spoiled my years of planning.A quite simple plan at that.Make Astrid my Luna and

Astrid "I'm so sorry, Miss Woods, Alpha Ronan isn't available today." The receptionist smiled, wide enough to show her really cut dimples but she hadn't meant it. She was trained, hollow, and completely unmovable, the one she gives someone when she wouldn't budge. "We had a scheduled meeting. Eleven o'clock." I held up my phone, the confirmation still glowing on the screen. "We thought he would be expecting us." "I understand your confusion, ma'am but he's simply unavailable at the moment." "For how long?" "I can't really say." Beside me, Derek spoke equally trying to sound convincing. "Could you check with his secretary?" "She's out today." Derek furrowed his brows. "His deputy?" "In a meeting." The secretary said, her tone sounding well rehearsed. Just then, I watched two men in dark suits step off the elevator and walk straight past the desk without a word exchanged, without so much as a nod requested. Neither was stopped. Neither was questioned. "Who were they?" I asked

Astrid“So what happened right after?”Grace was staring at me, her eyes filled with an unspoken excitement.I had been filling her up on what had happened so far and out of everything I said, all she was keen to know was what had happened after Derek's jaw apparently locked so hard it might have broken.She was sitting on the edge of my bed with her arms folded, watching me like she had been waiting for this particular moment to bring it back up.I ignored her.I continued sorting through the papers spread across the dinner table, checking the figures for tomorrow's presentation on how the financial summit will be carried out for what felt like the hundredth time. It's coming soon and I hope we will be able to put to bed all the worries we all have for the past week.Eventually, she sighed, determined to know more."So..."I didn't look up."So what, Grace?""What happened after Derek saw you and Knox?"My fingers paused over the keys of my laptop as I slowly looked at her."Nothing
