Why do you keep asking me this same question?" I asked
" Because we are mates," Nick said
" So you want to take advantage of that ?"
"No…no..no, that's not what I meant…I know you were supposed to make him your alpha but why doesn't it seem like you want it"
" How did you find out?" I asked making him chuckle
" I just needed to say your name and everyone won't stop gossiping about how you were ready to step down from your position as alpha for Leo, what caused the sudden change of mind because you hadn't met me when you rejected him" he's right but how can I trust him to keep. My secrets are safe.
" If you don't trust me then we can talk about something else"
" No, you asked as my mate I should at least let you know why I rejected you at first, " I said thinking of the right way to begin my story.
" So go ahead, this place is well confined. I would be between the both of us" he assured.
" I want revenge" I stated…. the word came out before I could realize it.
" How, why …what happened that you desperately need revenge?" He asked
" Because Leo betrayed me after I made him my alpha"
" How is that possible when he isn't your alpha yet" How can I explain this to Nick without sounding crazy
" I was reborn"
" Reborn, how is that possible when you are still here" Nick already sounds confused.
" You can never understand Nick"
" Make me understand…I also have something to tell you which you must understand" Nick said
" I was reborn, because of my mother's bloodline which can't be explained but now I have realized my mistakes and want to take revenge on all of them," I said
" Then give me a chance to help you" Nick offered, is he crazy…do I sound weak to him. or told him I can't take revenge on my own.
" Am not weak" I said
" I know. I just want us to join forces together, I Know I sound just like Leo but I need you to claim my position as alpha in my pack" Why does he need my help if he is powerful enough on his own?
" Why do you need my help," I asked
" Because I need a mate to enable me to claim my right as alpha in the ceremony and am. also very selective but then you came from nowhere and the moon goddess made you my mate" he said knowing I wasn't convinced at all.
" I would help you take revenge on Leo and everyone else who helped him destroy you in your past life" he added.
" Are you sure you won't act like Leo"
" Compared to Leo, I am a man of my word," Nick promised, escorting me back to his car.
This is weird …in my former life I had no connection with Nick but now I am planning on joining an alliance with him to take revenge on Leo and Sunny.
"Should I still take you to Leo?" Nick asked me to open the passenger seat for me to enter.
" Just take me to him, I still need to go home with sunny….I noticed she finds you attractive and I want to use that against her" I said….he chuckled, closing the door before entering the driver seat and starting the engine.
"You hate this pack of yours"
"Stop with the teasing Nick," I said, adjusting my seatbelt as we drove back to the ceremony.
" Nick escorted me into the ceremony causing stares and murmurs within the crowd. I thought the mating ceremony was over. Why haven't they left the place…Leo and Sunny seemed to be flirting in my father's presence, not noticing my presence while I cleared my throat.
"Dennis" Leo called, standing up almost immediately and giving Nick the hate stare.
"I should get going now, I have a lot to attend to," Nick said, pecking me on the cheek gently before heading off.
" What did he tell you?" My dad asked before I could even sit down.
" Why do you want to know isn't that my business?" I replied.
" You left Leo and went out with another guy and of all men you chose a Carter," my father said with rage while my stepmother pretended to calm me down, as I care about their consent whatsoever.
"Leo isn't my husband yet" I claimed
"Dennis what has gotten over you ….why are you acting so differently suddenly, I thought we loved each other and promise to support each other in every way possible," Leo said trying to look pitiful but it wasn't working on me this time.
" Leo, I had my reasons I just wish you could at least understand," I said, also trying to sound pitiful and convincing enough. Leo looks away much more frustrated than earlier…yes Leo I want you to be frustrated all your life, and even more miserable than ever.
"Isn't the mating ceremony over?" I asked tracing the sunny state and it landed on Nick who was busy among his pack.
"Sunny " I called Making Leo more concentrated on us.
" Are you falling for Nick already, you are always staring at him at any chance you get" I added making her eyeballs almost pop out at the fact that I was watching her all this while.
" Am not" she claimed as Leo gave her the bad gaze
"Why not, it's not like you are married or found a mate …you are free to chase after him," I said, making her smile in her imagination..it would be easy to make her lose interest in Leo.
"Why would she fall for Nick, he is very ruthless from what I heard," Leo said.
" And why do you care, don't you want her to find a mate quickly" I opposed smiling from within, it's very easy to play a trick on their minds
Nick won't stop smiling at me from the crowd till I was about to leave when he ran up to me. Why is he clingy isn't that going to ruin his reputation for being ruthless?
"Dennis"
" Dennis" Nick called, catching his breath as he slowly got to me, Leo walked away leaving us to talk. " What happened this time?" I whispered "Wasn't it my job to make Leo jealous?" he whispered back, holding me by my waist as he kissed my cheeks softly. " How would I find you?" he added, staring at Leo from behind me. "You have a way, I know you would find me when you are desperate," I said before following Leo to our car, I could still feel Nick's eyes on me …what's up with him. "Nick seems to like you more than we thought," my dad said from the driver's seat the minute I stepped in, I didn't bother saying anything or making any hiss beside me, you all watch and see I would deal with all of you one after the other and Nick would be my perfect assistant for the job. I stared at my room ceiling still remembering my past life like it was yesterday and how you broke my trust killing me without remorse and now he is trying to act pitiful when he isn't even in love with me from th
"Where are we going anyways," I asked feeling disgusted to talk about my family and their behaviors…he nods absently, so he doesn't have a destination. "Or do you have any place in mind we could stroll to," he asked " So you brought me out with no place in mind," I asked "The minute I got your address I just sensed that you needed me around" he joked " Are you always like this, playful and supportive?" I asked making him frown immediately. "I don't know what's wrong with me," he said to himself " You are different I guess" he added " Am just your mate nothing else" I replied going through his radio channels. "Let's go back to your garden, I love it there," I said settling back in my seat since I couldn't find a suitable channel to bingo. "The garden it is," he said speeding off, it almost skipped my mind that Nick is a crazy driver I buckled up my seatbelt quickly. "Let me get you something to chew on" Nick offered heading into another room in the garden, it looked like a de
"Are you sure I can come in with you?" Nick asks for the fourth time since we stepped foot inside the region. " My packs aren't so dangerous as they sound," I said " I didn't mean dangerous but every pack is very scared Carter's pack," he said boldly that was an achievement Making me smile at his words. "But I am not scared of you" "Because you have only met this side of me," he said which was very true I have only known you for just a few days and I haven't witnessed his character witamongng other people. "You are right I hope you aren't the kind of person who gets angry too easily". " Don't worry even if I am you won't ever witness it" he assured as u knocked on the mansion gates Henry my cousin opened up looking so surprised. "Dennis, why are you here?" He asked checking around if there was anyone behind him. "I came to see Uncle" I expressed "You can't be here" we whispered still looking a bit startled. " Just let me in and besides am I truly not welcomed here" "No, it
" Maybe we should both be placed in history books for our future generations to see," Nick said…why is always joking about everything and hardly ever serious around me. " Alex, can you help me find out why I was reborn again," I asked to make them all stop talking about Nick being my mate. " I will find answers just take good care of yourself and find a way to get out of there before they plot something much worse than that" my uncle's advice " I am not scared of their threats and won't leave there till they all pay dearly" `That's why I am by her side to make their lives a living hell mostly Leo,'' Nick said with a different tone than earlier, he sounds much more serious and his facial expression wasn't an exception. " It's getting late already. Would you like to spend the night here?" My aunt asked, I turn to Nick for his opinion but he nods negatively and that is a no. " We would leave now Maybe another time, right Nick," I said. " Ugh yes..we would spend the night over when
Leo looked pissed beyond imagination and I was liking it not until my phone started ringing. "Nick " I called, smiling as Leo leaves in annoyance. "I thought you won't call me back ever" "You made me ill," Nick said coughing " How did that happen," I asked " I don't drink that much or I get hangover for days and you watched me get that drunk," he said slowly sniffing " I am sorry Nick I just wanted to make you relaxed," I said "It's fine to come downstairs. I can't sit in this sitting room forever .... Sunny was supposed to call you but I haven't heard her call you yet," he said. " Am coming downstairs now…why didn't you just come up?" I asked putting on my shirt with one hand. "I don't want to cause a ruckus in your humble abode," he said before ending the call…I rushed down the stairs but stopped when I passed the kitchen and heard smoke coming from there. "Stop Leo," Sunny said, pushing his face away while I hid behind the door. " You haven't done anything concerning
Nick said tonight but the night was already getting late and I still had no news from Nick...he should better come before I lose it. A few minutes later I got a call from Nick Making me happy as I squealed around with joy…he is waiting for me downstairs I can't believe after what transpired between him and Leo he still called as promised, Sunny was seated in the sitting room playing chess with my father as I walked past them even if they call me back I won't stop. There he was smiling with his face more refreshed than before, I rushed up to him hugging him tightly as he hugs me back. "You missed me" he joked, caressing my hair before planting a kiss on my cheek. " Nick why are you acting so clingy" I joked "Shh. ….sunny is staring," Nick said… "After what Leo did to you..you still want to go on with the plan, " I asked " We have to make them regret everything and mostly sunny. I hate her bitchy attitude," Nick whispered, opening the passenger door for me as I got in. " I am t
After the dinner date with Nick, I couldn't bring myself to even pick up his calls or accept his presence. I had to pretend like everything was fine that night so he would take me home but now I know Nick is becoming a huge obstacle for me and I can't bear to be surrounded by obstacles. I sat in the sitting room still reminiscing on what his mother said…..none of the family members even tried to welcome me as his mate chosen for him by the moon goddess, ugh I feel humiliated. "Where is your knight in shining armor," Sunny said, sitting opposite me with a wine glass in her hands. "Leo " I teased making her hiss "Leo is still your knight in shining armor. I thought you changed that position to Nick's," she said. " I can pick anyone to do the job," I said with a smirk " You are evil," she said " Thank you II learned a lot from you" I teased making her grip the glass extremely tight and unexpectedly, she poured the wine on my face. "Sunny..how could you pour the wine on her" Leo
"Nick am sorry," I said as I need slowly let down his hands in disappointment "It's fine Dennis I would dance with you another time " he replied placing a kiss on my cheek before heading off " Let's dance," Leo said dragging me to the stage with everyone before I could say otherwise " Leo I hadn't even accepted to dance yet" I whispered swaying to the music with him " But you rejected Nick and I took that as a yes " he whispered back turning me towards Nick's direction, Nick was talking to Carolina about why didn't see her all this time but now she and Buck joins us on the stand as she smiles at me before swaying to the music with Nick's hands on her waist. I hate Carolina, she makes my heart between in an awkward way.. ….am being jealous of Carolina that shouldn't be happening. After the dance, I took a stroll around the garden, the party was suffocating me. " I hate Carolina" I whispered to myself remembering how she was continuously flirting with Nick on the stage. "Dennis"
