Chapter 1
Celine ColemanAs I stood in front of the restaurant, I took a deep breath, holding on firmly to my handbag, taking a deep breath. Again, I asked myself if this was a good idea, but knowing that I didn't have any option at this point, I couldn't even bring myself to think about negative things."Let's go for it," I mumbled and took a deep breath, walking into the restaurant afterward. The dark aura that welcomed me as soon as I walked in, told me that someone powerful was here. Although I have lived amongst werewolves at a point in my life, I couldn't still tell their scent since I wasn't one myself. The only thing I could tell was their aura, and this one felt like an Alpha's, if I'm not mistaken.My heart skipped when I found him sitting at the far end of the restaurant. I wasn't standing close, but his aura was so dark and scary that it was consuming me already. Should I turn back from here? I asked myself, but just before I could make my decision, he raised his gaze and caught mine, and my heart sank into my stomach. He had a pair of green eyes, brown shady hair, thick eyebrows, a chiseled face, a sharp jawline, and long eyelashes. He was manly built, but there was something about him that I couldn't place. I always had my way of telling people's age, but his was vague that I couldn't read it.Taking a deep breath, I finally walked over to him and smiled."Hi! You must be Mr...""Alpha Kayla Reed is the name. Sit!" His voice was cold and domineering, and my heart skipped for a moment. Did I make the right decision to come here in the first place? I sat in front of him, regardless."What's your name?" He asked me, and I gulped down the lump that formed in my throat, nervous."Celine... Celine Coleman," I replied to him, trying not to stutter, but it was hard not to."Celine... I will go straight to the point, Celine..." He uttered, then paused and reclined on the chair, I could feel his eyes boring invisible holes in my body."I want you to be my breeder. All I need from you is a son, and we will go our separate ways after. I will give you everything you ask for. Luxurious life? I have the means to give you all that," I froze on the seat, finally looking at him this time, my eyes almost popping out of their sockets."Bre...breeder?" That word slipped from my mouth, and my jaw dropped after. This always happened in movies, and to think it was happening to me right now. Am I a movie character? I asked myself, but quickly dismissed the thought."Uhm..." I paused and bit my inner bottom lip, swallowing hard again. This was the craziest shit I've ever experienced in my life, but come to think of it. I just got thrown out of my apartment last week and I've been wandering around the street like a hopeless ghost since then. I have even tried to get a job the least waitress, but the world seemed to be against me. I was still trying to figure out what I was going to do when my phone suddenly started ringing."Excuse me, please. I need to take this call," I excused myself and left for the restroom. If the call was not from my little brother, I would have ignored it."Hey, sis," His cheerful voice sounded from the other end, and I smiled."Hey, kiddo. What's up?" I tried to sound happy even though I was shattered deep inside me."Guess what? I finished high school, and will move in with you as promised earlier," He sounded so excited that he was going to move in with me."Hu... huh?" My jaw dropped and I felt a sting in my heart."Is everything alright, sis? You told me to move in with you as soon as I'm done with school, so you can send me to college. Did you change your mind?" He asked me, and I huffed."Are you kidding me? Why will I change my mind? No, I didn't. Let me know when you want to move in," I tried not to break down in tears as they already brimmed in my eyes."Is everything alright? You sound dull," He asked me."Of course, I'm fine. I will call you back, Jerry. I need to get back to work... Oh, boss, I'll be there now," I yelled as if I was talking to a customer."Alright, sis. Bye," The call finally dropped dead, and I crashed against the wall, touching my forehead as tears streamed down my cheeks. I lied to my brother that I was working in a restaurant as a waitress, he believed that I could take care of him.If not that our parents abandoned us as if we never existed, maybe we wouldn't have spent all the years of our lives like this. I was just seven and my little brother was one when mom left us. Dad tried for years before he finally died nine years later, and we had to move in with our neighbor who was married to a werewolf from Silver Moon Pack, one of the strongest Pack of wolves at that time. That was how I got to know a little about werewolves. I mean, I spent three years in the Pack, so it was almost impossible not to know about them. I moved out of the Pack after I turned eighteen, in a bid to find greener pastures so I could take care of myself and my little brother, but life has rather been hard on me. Living from hand to mouth for years, working as a delivery girl for years to put food on my table, paying my brother's school fees, and paying my rent. At least I was still trying my best to survive, not until I lost my job five months ago, and life has become tough for me. Failed to pay my rent, and I was thrown out of the house last week. Frustrated, I went to a club two days ago where I met this man asking me to be his breeder now. I was too drunk to talk with him that day, so he asked us to meet here today, and here we are now.With all these, I guess I had to accept my fate, so I walked back into the restaurant where I met Alpha Kayla still waiting for me."I'm sorry for keeping you waiting. It was an important call," I apologized as I sat on the chair I left there."So, what do you say?" He asked, ignoring my apology. As much as I wanted to say that I wasn't interested, I knew that I had to. I needed this money although this was inappropriate. I have tried to get a job but couldn't, I didn't want my brother to come here and find me living on the street."I have a favor to ask," I didn't know if this will make sense, but I should ask."First, I want you to secure an apartment for me...""There won't be any need for that. You are moving into my mansion if you are going to be my breeder," He cuts me off, and I bit my bottom lip sadly."In that case, I guess we have a done deal now. Where is your phone?" He asked me coldly, and I handed my phone to him. I watched as he typed in something on it before he returned it to me."That's my number. I think we should have each other's number since we will be living together soon," He uttered, putting his phone back into the pocket of his coat."I will send my driver to pick you up for shopping tomorrow. Also..." He paused and dipped his hand into his pocket, and bringing it out, he dropped a card on the table."This card is yours now. It has a lot of money, so you can spend as much as you want to," My mouth dropped open as I stared at the black card. Did my life just change for good?Chapter 2Celine Coleman POVAs promised, I went shopping yesterday with Alpha Kayla's driver, and I was supposed to move in with him today. I know this wasn't a good idea, but do I have a choice? I already sent some money to my brother to get an apartment over there if he wanted to really move out. I didn't want him to come over here and see the disgusting life his sister will be living henceforth.Alpha Kayla's driver, Logan picked me up minutes ago, and we were already on our way to his house."We are here, ma'am," Logan's voice pulled me back to reality, and that was when I realized that he was holding the door open for me, and I nodded my head."Thank you," I smiled at him, but as expected, he had a deep frown on his face."Follow me," He uttered after he closed the door behind me, leading me to the entrance door. The mansion was just like those I've seen in movies, and regardless of the beauty of it, I didn't have enough time to admire it because I was nervous. We finally got in
Chapter 3"Father, am I your brother?" I asked him as I managed to look up at him, and he scoffed, squatting in front of me."Of course, not. You are my son... My baby boy," He smiled at me disgustingly as he pat my cheek, but it irked me so much that I wanted to slap his hand off me."But you called me brother when that woman was here earlier," I pouted my lips, and he smiled at me brightly. That smile I hated the most in the world. Those set of teeth I hated the most to be spread at me."Don't think about it, son. When that lady is around, you have to call me brother, ok?" He stated, and I slowly nodded my head. I didn't need to ask him why he said that. "Be a good boy, son. Daddy will be back soon," He uttered, leaving me in the room afterward. Slowly, the wide smile on my face disappeared. How annoying acting like this around him? How disgusting having to see his face every fucking day of my life. But what could I do? This was the only way for me to live. Pretending was really th
Chapter 4Celine Coleman POVThe last few days I've spent here seemed to be the best days of my life so far. Prince Bryant although was complicated and not an accommodating person, still, I somehow felt comfortable and relaxed around him. I could count how many words he has said to me since I moved in here. It was a beautiful Saturday morning, and Alpha Kayla already left for their Pack for something important as he said to me before he left, leaving me and Bryant at home. The maid already went to the grocery store to get something, so I was alone at home with Bryant."What is he doing now?" I asked myself after I checked my wristwatch, and since I was curious, I decided to go to his room and check up on him. Who knows, maybe we could go for a walk around the mansion since I was bored. I soon got to his doorstep and placed a knock on it, but got no reply from him."Excuse me. Are you inside?" I called out, and when I got the same silent reply, I finally pushed the door open and walke
Chapter 5Celine ColemanThe world seemed to be frozen for a moment when our lips made contact. Although I am not a werewolf, but trust me, I felt a strange spark and my abdomen twitched. What the heck!For the next few seconds, we remained like that, my brain was shut dead, and I couldn't think for a moment."Wh... what are you doing?" I stuttered as I managed to pull away from him, sitting on the ground and blinking my eyes at him rapidly. My heart pounded hard against my chest that I could literally hear the sound of it, my throat dried and my breath hitched. I tried to understand what just happened, but there was only one meaning to it, he fucking kissed me for the second time. At this point, I was starting to question my inner self, thinking if he was really sick or if he was just pretending."Don't be ridiculous. Why would anyone do that?" My subconscious mind scolded me and I quickly dismissed the thought. The look on his face didn't express shock, but was just blank as if what
Chapter 6Bryant ReedThe thought of her sleeping with that despicable man wouldn't stop playing in my head. I felt my wolf agitated about this too. I couldn't imagine her kissing that man when we already kissed. The thought of it was driving me nuts and I felt like screaming out my lungs.My body suddenly felt so hot, so I unbuttoned my shirt to get fresh air, but it turned out that the heat was inside me.I wheeled myself into the house and managed to get to the hallway. I stopped in front of her door and placed a knock on it. Not that I had something to tell her, maybe because I just wanted to see her.The door soon opened, and her face dilated in shock when she saw me."Br...yant?" She had this shocked expression written on her face."Can you take me for a walk? I'm bored," I asked her, and she seemed to think about it for a while before she nodded her head."Sure. Wait here for me. I need to change my dress," she said to me, and I nodded my head. She walked back into her room and
Chapter 7Celine ColemanIt was my first time seeing a werewolf enraged, and for a moment, I felt my soul leave my body back there. It felt like he was going to kill me. I never called him pathetic, did I? I mean, when did I do that?The incident kept replaying in my head even after I returned to my room. The knock on my door pulled me back to reality, and my heart skipped. I was scared of going to check who was there. I felt scared to face him again. You would feel the same way if you were in my shoes, yeah?Mustering the remaining courage left in me, I went for the door, but I was rather shocked to find Alpha Kayla standing there. He seemed to have just returned from the office."Welcome, Alpha," I greeted him politely, and he nodded his head."Come to the dining room for dinner," Those were the only words he said to me before he left, and I nodded as if he was still here with me. I left for the dining room almost immediately.My heart skipped when I got there and found Bryant with
Chapter 8Bryant ReedSpending the night with Celine was awesome, but watching her sleep was the best feeling I could ever ask for. I never liked when someone pities me, but I couldn't also blame her for being like that. No matter how much I try to act as though everything is fine, deep inside me, I knew I'm not fine.I watched her toss on the bed tiredly, turning to face me while still having her eyes closed as she slept peacefully like a baby. I scoffed once again when I saw the jeans trouser she was wearing. What was she thinking? That I was going to do shit to her while she was sleeping? I asked myself, but on second thought, I didn't blame her for taking the protective measure.It was finally my usual time of doing my morning routine, so I wheeled myself into the bathroom. I initially do go to the bathroom without my wheelchair, but I didn't want to come crawling out here like a baby later and have her sad again.Slowly, I gritted my teeth while staring at my reflection in the mi
Chapter 9Celine ColemanI've been searching through the internet nonstop since I got back to my room, hoping to find any remedy that could help with his brain and also his legs. Who knows, maybe a miracle might just happen."Ugh! This is frustrating," I cursed under my breath after surfing through the internet without any positive results, so I eventually dropped my phone."Wait a minute! Why the hell are you doing this, Celine? You are acting weird," I stopped and ask myself the question I sort myself for an answer but couldn't get any for it. "I'm a human, and I tend to be like this. I mean, I have feelings too," I concluded even though I knew deep inside me that it wasn't the case.A knock sounded on my bed and I was stunned when I pulled the door open and found Bryant at my doorstep. I blinked my eyes rapidly, staring down at him and wondering what he was doing fully dressed like someone that was about to go out."Br... Bryant?" I called surprisingly, and for a few seconds, I ch
