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
"I just haven't seen one before..." I said, my eyes narrowing back at the frozen statue. "She's so beautiful."Kevin just snorted. "But why did you freeze her? She looked like she was excited to see you.""She's annoying. There are more important things at hand now.. like training you. But..." He opened my palm, running a thumb through it. "Your wolf is hurt.. badly hurt and this is only when someone's been mistreated badly..." He narrowed his eyes at me and without needing to confirm his words, he nodded. He could already see it from how sweaty my palm had come.It’s no doubt that I had been mistreated. Really badly and it was affecting my wolf. I don’t just need physical train. I also need to train my inner mind and strengthen my wolf. In humans, their strength is possible because of the energy left in them. For werewolves, it was their wolf. If my wolf was hurt like he said then i wouldn't be able to train or get stronger. "Please don't tell Alex" I whispered and he frowned sl
Kevin finally pulled Avery into his lap and put two fingers into her mouth and she began to suck. "What... Is she doing?" I questioned, my curiosity getting the best of me."She's sucking my blood... It usually calms her down. I think she hasn't had any to drink and that's why she's acting like a maniac.""She's nice and she didn't mean any harm by what she said." I reasoned."I know, but remember that as long as you're with Alex, Lizzy won't hurt you, okay?"I nodded and turned back to Avery, finding her very interesting to look at since i had only read of vampires in books and watched them, but I didn't know i'd be seeing one in the flesh."Are you a pure blooded vampire or a hybrid?" I asked Avery and Kevin took that as a cue to pull his fingers away, but Avery grabbed onto it and licked off the specks of blood left at the tip.As she licked the tip with a satisfied smile, her crimson red eyes shone and i could see the tip of her fangs just before she closed her mouth. "I'm a pur
Isla's POVWe were still talking when the scent of my mate wafted into the room and like an intoxicating drug, my eyes lingered on the door like I was waiting for him to walk in any second later, and like I predicted, he did. "Alex..." A whisper had escaped my mouth but the smirk on his face told me he clearly heard his name leaving my lip. His eyes held mine captive as he approached me on the bed. Kevin finally got up on seeing him. "Before you two ravage each other, hand me my rose oil liquid soap so I can leave."I blushed on hearing his words. Kelvin has no mouth filter and that I’m now well aware of. Alex gave him a weak glare but said nothing and moved to sit beside me before pulling me into his lap with a kiss to my neck."Hey Alex" Avery said, climbing off the bed. "Hey Avery..." Alex said acknowledging her with a nod. He leaned away, pulling out the rose oil liquid soap before handing it to Kevin with a gruff voice as he said. "Here. Now leave if you don't want me to pull
