Prologue
“What is this? Still shying on me?” he asked in a chilly tone that made me shiver.
I was sitting at the edge of the bed of that dimly lit room staring at nowhere when he entered without a warning. It was reasonable to have him freely walk around the house. After all it was his residence, his room… his bed.
But when he started making his way to me, I moved back a little which made him stop and had his dark eyes narrowing at me.
“Can we stop this game, Loraine? You know you can’t avoid me forever, don’t you?”
I looked away. Of course, I knew that.
How could a powerless woman like myself run from my own husband, especially one that held power of an alpha?

“I’ve met my mate, Lory.”As if what my father said earlier wasn’t enough, Jacob’s words added fuel to the fire. It was like a bomb to me. With my family forcing me to offer myself to the new alpha, I thought I could find my way out of it through him.We had been in a relationship for two years now. As someone from a family of omega serving those in the upper class, Jacob’s status hindered us from being out in public. Dad would kill me if he found out I was associating myself with a boy of lower status. So we loved each other secretly, waiting for the right time to tell everyone what was between us.But now I didn’t think that was possible. Earlier this morning during breakfast, Dad said the alpha asked for five ladies of marriageable age from the most respected families in the pack where he’d be choosing a wife prospect after a thorough screening. Dad informed me he'd be submitting my name in the registry and it wasn’t something negotiable.After hearing it, my mind went haywire to t

“Would you like some tea, Miss?” asked our head maid, Martha, when I woke up the next morning.“Has Dad left?”Growing up, I only had Dad and my younger sister, Roselle. Mom died giving birth to Rose when I was only six, which didn’t give me a chance to have fond memories of her. I could even barely recall how she looked in my memories and if not for the pictures she left, time would have swept out everything that was left in the mind of a young child.I looked at the clock on the wall and saw it was already eight. Dad had surely left for work. As one of the trusted betas of a huge district pack, he had a lot of responsibilities on his shoulders.“Why didn’t you wake me up? I promised Rose I’ll accompany her in meeting her new tutor.”“Um, you slept so late last night, Miss. I thought you might need more rest since yesterday didn’t go well…” Martha trailed off, looking at my face wearily. The buckets of tears I shed last night must be obvious with my puffy eyes now.“Miss Rose also to
Fatal Rules: The Alpha's Game Chapter 3: Familiar Face
“Make sure not to make a single mistake, sweetheart. Am I clear enough?” Dad said with a gentle tone but the way he looked at me spoke warning.When we finally arrived at the Alpha’s residence, Dad held the car’s door for me and lent me a hand. The ends of my long dress touched the ground when I stepped out. It was a black dress with shining stones all over it. My long brown hair was elegantly done in updo with some curled strands purposely left around the corners of my face.We went inside the mansion with me holding Dad’s arm. I had always been trained to be a graceful flower for special occasions like this. Whenever Dad requested my presence in events, refusing wasn’t an option. So it wasn’t new to me.However, this time I found it hard to stay calm. I was anxious. The way most of the guests greeted and looked at us, it was like they were expecting I’d be one of the selected ladies. That giving me a spot was a given because I was Henry Sullivan’s daughter.And I hated it because I
Fatal Rules: The Alpha's Game Chapter 4: One of the Chosen
Alpha Calix went in front to give a brief speech. He said it was the councilors’ idea to give him a homecoming party and although he didn’t like parties that much, he agreed because it was an opportunity for him to meet the district’s people as the new alpha.“And since everyone important is gathered here tonight, at the end of this evening, I will announce the five ladies I selected who are eligible to be my luna,” he added in his speech which made most ladies gasp in anticipation.“These five ladies will come to live in my mansion for a month. I will observe each of them for me to know who is the best candidate among them. The parents shouldn’t worry though. I will ensure these ladies will be treated as the princesses that they are, and I will sign an agreement to promise not to sully these ladies’ honor.”“Who cares if the Alpha sullies my honor? I would gladly offer myself to him if I’d be chosen!”I heard giggles behind me and I wasn’t surprised how these girls could throw themse
Fatal Rules: The Alpha's Game Chapter 5: Moving Out
When I went back inside, I was still dumbfounded. I wanted to think that whatever I heard back in the garden wasn’t true but who am I kidding?Why did fate seem to be playing with me?When the most anticipated time arrived, I stood there frozen among the crowd, my toes were curling on my shoes. If I was just any girl, it would have been a privilege. I would feel blessed for receiving the Alpha’s attention and making my father proud, but that wasn’t the case.All my life I felt like I was chained. Dad honed me to be the person he wanted me to be. His principles were unbreakable rules. The world he gave me felt like a cage and all I ever wanted was to break free. I was under his control all my life, and now am I going to be controlled by another man?“I know most of you are waiting for this,” said Alpha Calix with a smirk on his face. After looking around, his eyes found mine once again.An unfamiliar shiver ran through my spine.“Now I’m going to announce the five ladies who will be su
Fatal Rules: The Alpha's Game Chapter 6: Rules to Obey
The butler of the Alpha’s mansion, Mr. Judson, was waiting for me at the gates when my family car arrived. The middle-aged man was with some maids to assist me. “Welcome, Miss Loraine. Let us help you with your things.” “Have the others arrived?” I asked. “Yes, they are at the dining hall with Alpha Calix. They are all waiting for you.” I nodded and followed the butler. The maids took care of my belongings. I didn’t want to bring more than necessary but Dad insisted on bringing more than what I would need in my one month stay here. I guessed he was expecting I’d be chosen to be the Alpha’s wife and there was no need to come back home. “Alpha has arranged everything for all the ladies. Your rooms are ready and I will let you see them later,” said Mr. Judson. When we arrived at the dining hall, I realized what the butler said was really true. Everyone was already present at the table. Alpha Calix was sitting at the head of the table, on his right were Genevieve and Lea, while on h
Fatal Rules: The Alpha's Game Chapter 7: A Good Night's Sleep
“How was your sleep? If there is anything you don’t like about your rooms, just tell Judson. He will make the necessary arrangements,” said Alpha Calix during the next day’s breakfast. Our places on the table were still the same. Genevieve and Marianne had the seats nearest to the Alpha while I took the farthest among the five ladies. Last night, I thought about what Roselle said to me when I left our mansion. She said something like turning off the alpha so he wouldn’t choose me. It actually made sense. If I would just mind my own business and wouldn’t try hard on pleasing Alpha Calix like what everyone else was doing, then probably he wouldn’t see me as a wife prospect. I should also try doing the opposite of what he was expecting from us. The quicker he’d get turned off, the quicker I could leave. “Loraine.” When Evelyn, who was sitting beside me, kicked my foot under the table, it was only then I realized that Alpha had been calling my name and I wasn’t paying attention. I lift
Fatal Rules: The Alpha's Game Chapter 8: Searching Eyes
Even when I was already in the car with the girls, I still could feel my cheeks burning hot. I knew Alpha Calix was flirty but I didn’t know he was shameless! How could he say words as scandalous as that? I really wasn’t wrong when I thought the agreement he signed about not sullying the ladies’ honor was an empty promise. He was good looking and powerful, I got that, but did he expect every woman would be pleased with his advances and bite his trap mindlessly? “Your cheeks are flaring, Loraine. Not feeling well?” Evelyn asked which made Genevieve’s head turn to me. We were inside one van while Alpha Calix had his own car. “You should have told Alpha that you’re not feeling well, dear Loraine. You don’t have to try so hard even when you can’t make it,” Genevieve’s tone indicated concern, opposite to what she was implying. “I’m alright, Genevieve. Thanks for the concern. I’m just feeling a little feverish due to the cold weather. I can manage just fine.” I really didn’t understand
