I let out a sigh as i groggily blink my eyes before staring into space. There was an unfamiliar ceiling hanging above my head, and the bed i lay on felt too comforting and soft to be real. Where was i? Was I still dreaming? Because i can swear that i met a man last night that treated me like a human being for the first time in years.I yawned and rolled on my side and froze on seeing pure green eyes staring intensely into my surprised one, making me stunned for a few seconds, leaving the words I planned on saying to get stuck in my throat. "Hey..." His voice was calm and playful despite how rough he looked and when he smiled at me, two dimples appeared which caused my eyes to widened a little fraction.He was charming and there is no doubt he was real too and everything that happened last night wasn’t a dream or a mirage. It was real.The more i stared at the beauty before her, the more memories of what happened between us last night start to flood back into my head like i was walki
"I'm sorry I made you wait... Come on.. let's go downstairs." He apologized before taking my hand in his like I was a gentle dove he doesn’t want to flying away and leaving him stranded."Aren't you having your bath as well?" I asked, trying to pull my hand away yet the spark of the connection between us was too much to pull away so I kept holding on."I will after you've had breakfast.""No .. I'll wait..." I said with a tone of finality, beckoning him to go to the bathroom. Alex smiled. "Yes ma'am."I blushed as he turned around and obediently left to take a bath. Few minutes later he was done and all dressed up and he took my hand before leading me downstairs to the dinning room. As they got closer, I heard the chatter of people down and my heart dropped to the pit of my stomach in nervousness and the stares I got from the Omegas didn't help one bit. "You okay?" He calmly asked me, squeezing my hand a bit to bring me back to reality because it looked like I was fading off into
Alex POV.Anna blushed, feeling as though she had just been given the highest compliment coming from an even more beautiful woman who is none other than my mate. Isla showed up even more beautiful than I thought, those sapphire blue eyes does things to my inside. They make me want to loose myself each time she smiles shyly at me. She is so fucking naïve and innocent.My mate is perfect.Forcing my eyes to move away from her, I noticed Lizzy rolled her eyes and was about to make a snarky comment when Nate pushed a spoonful of bacon into her mouth and her eyes widened as she glared at him but he smiled at her and she swallowed hard."And this is Kevin... he's my most trustworthy Gamma." I continued in my introduction. It’s important that Isla meet everyone as she would be staying here forever now. The sooner she get acquainted with everyone, the better."Are you a witch?" Isla asked out of curiosity, having stared at Kelvin silvery hair for far too long without blinking."I'm a half wi
Alex POVI felt the sting of her palm for another minute as i slowly raised my hand to caress my cheek, to the spot where she had slapped me without hesitation.It was only Lizzy's ragged breaths that echoed in the room while Nathaniel just stood there with horror in his eyes, his expression mirroring my own disbelief. "Do you want to slap me again? Or Was that enough for you to vent out your anger?" I asked as calmly I could still staring into her eyes and noting the emotions that burned within. "I'm not satisfied... I want to kill that woman and you too, for choosing her over me!.""Listen here Lizzy..." I said stepping closer with my hands clenched into fist, anger seething through me at her words, "The day you even make a move to hurt my mate, I will fucking kill you."A shocked gasp escape her mouth at my fair warning with unshed tears in her eyes, "I thought you loved me!"I was about to lash out at her without a second thought when i caught Nathaniel's eyes in the room. He l
Alex POV."Lizzy wouldn't dare lay a hand on my mate."Pushing himself off the wall, he came to stand at the same eye level as me, "I think you're missing the point here. If you perhaps have forgotten who Lizzy is, I'll tell you who you are dealing with in five words. She. Gets. Anything. She. Wants. Every. Fucking time. However and whenever Alex, and if she says she will kill Isla, she most definitely will.""She won't." I said walking away, dragging the dreaded feeling i felt to the darkest part of my mind so he would forget it before he is forced to do what he might regret him self."In her words she said 'If she can't have you, then no one will' It's either she kills Isla or she kills you. Do NOT underestimate her Alex. She told me she wanted you years ago, and she was this close to being your Luna. She doesn't make empty threat."His word struck me like a cord, bringing my feet to a stop and i turned to face Nathaniel squarely. "So what do you suggest I do? Kill her? Banish her
Alex POV.I was contemplating on taking her with me but I knew she would not consent to wearing any cloth i'd offer since they weren't hers, and Anna had a pretty large frame so i knew her clothes wouldn't fit her.As I got downstairs, i saw Kevin still in his seat, reading. "Don't let Isla leave her room, and don't let anyone in as well." I told him, and Kevin nodded, noting the knowing look in my eyes before he vanished from the dinning room.I totally hate when he does it but I trust him not to betray his Alpha with his hybrid abilities."You wanted to see me, Alpha?" Nathaniel voice called at me and I turned to see him approaching. He looks ready to go out with me."That's new .."I tried a humor chuckle, but it died down on seeing that Nathaniel's expression hasn't faltered or broke for even a second. "You're calling me Alpha now? What the fuck Nate, the elders aren't even around.""Aren't you the Alpha, after all? ""You always call me Alex... Stick with it, it’s more like it’s
Alex POV"The point is. . you're trying to show her that if she can fall in love with someone else, she wasn't in love with me as she claimed. It was high school, and she was just starting to know about her feelings and I was starting to know about mine... And yeah we've made a lot of mistakes in the past, but I realized I never loved her. It's her turn to too." "I don't even know the first thing about distracting someone or acting lovey dovey.. and you know Lizzy knows me too well. She will see right through me.""Oh please, give yourself some credit. you're not so innocent either." I teased."Yeah? But maybe that's because I don't have to be sweet or anything. This face can get me any woman. We just hit the bed, roll around in the sheets and then it's over. We're done. If you've ever noticed, I've never even had a girlfriend before. It's usually one night stands. I'm not a committed person, so this will be kinda hard." "You can't be that bad... " I reasoned."I can't say the 'L' w
Isla POV."You think I would?""I don't know. It's up to you to show me and the people what you've got. Even Alex is anticipating... He loves you and that's because of the mate bond pull. He would want to see what you've got. It's a natural instinct of an Alpha. You have to be good at something. The Elders will not concede to your Luna ceremony if can’t don't bring anything to the table. They don't care if you're his fated mate or not" He slowly licked his lips and then leaned forward to continue, his expression even more serious than earlier. "If you can't show them how capable you are physically, emotionally and mentally... You will be cast aside and Lizzy will take your position."I swallowed hard, the thought of proving myself to some group of elders to be deem worthy isn’t part of what I was meant to do. I just want the red gem of vitality.. how did it come to this? But then again, Alex is my mate and the thought of him being with someone else would definitely break me."You're
