Xander's POV
"Argh!" I growled when my phone started ringing yet again.
I wasn't ready to depart my fingers from the glass of booze but I also knew that if I didn't receive the call this time, he would continue calling me.
Heavily placing the glass of booze on the bar countertop, I harshly grabbed my phone and placed it on my ear.
"This has to be the fucking fifth or seventh time you are calling me. Don't you understand that I am busy?!" I blasted over my Beta, Benjamin, on the call.
From the other end, a trembling voice of my beta seeped into my ear.
"My Alpha! It's your wedding day. How can you be away from the pack house?"
I grunted in silence and slurred, "So, you called me for this! Benjamin, you better don't call me again. I am in a serious business right now."
I was about to cut the call but a stiff voice filled with rage from the other end caught my ear.
"What could be more important than your wedding, Xander?"
Of course, this man had to intervene. The only man who could address me, an Alpha by his name, my father, Mr. Jackson Walters.
My father snarled on the call, "Xander, I want you to fucking get back to the pack house right now."
His barking order unnerved me and I harshly disconnected the call. Tossing my phone aside, I got my hands back around the glass. I refilled it with the booze and chugged it down my system. This had to be the fifth bottle and I could feel the booze distorting my vision. But nevertheless, I kept on chugging it down.
I was burning in rage and I wanted something to calm me down. Nobody in my fucking pack house would appease me because everyone wanted to get me married to a feeble human girl, especially my father.
He was the one who brought that disgusting proposal of marrying me to a chick named Zara. I criticized his move. Come on, how could he marry a strong Alpha with a weak human? But he had his own explanation ready beforehand.
In the human world, a wife was a symbol that would make investors trust me. It was the most important judgement of whether a business would succeed or not. In short, a wife was a symbol of stability in my family.
His explanation made sense but I wasn't ready to choose a human as my mate for life. Despite my strict condemnation, my father held this wedding. Today was my wedding and I skipped it, rejecting the human bride that my father chose for me.
Since morning, I had been away from my pack house and sitting my ass in this bar amidst the forest. Unlike the usual nights, this bar was empty. I had reserved it completely because I just wanted some solace alone.
There wasn't a single bartender to serve me, that was how much of alone time I needed. But suddenly, I could hear someone's footfalls.
I turned around and I caught someone who was peeping at me from behind that wall. I quickly lifted my body that felt heavy as hell because of all the booze I had consumed tonight.
My vision was growing worse. But somehow, I managed to peep behind the wall. I caught a running figure. Though I couldn't see the exact figure, I knew who it could be. He was James, the Alpha heir of the Dark River Pack, my brutal enemy, the one who was jealous of me, of how I developed my pack stronger than his.
The only reason that could bring him to me was to attack me. I hurriedly sauntered out of the bar. I couldn't let this fucking bastard take advantage of me in this drunk and secluded state.
I walked up to the parking lot and I was about to get into my car but suddenly I could feel myself pressed down by a hefty arm around my neck holding a sharp knife.
"So, finally here you are, Mr. Xander Walters." A caliginous voice gushed into my ear.
He was James.
"Fucking coward! You don't have fucking strength to fight me in the arena and you choose to attack when I am drunk. Such a coward you are!" I said through my gritted teeth.
I let out a loud snarl as I tried freeing myself from his tight grasp.
"Not tonight Xander, I am not going to set you free tonight. You are going to die, Xander, in my hands." James smirked wickedly.
I shrugged my body harder before I pushed my elbow in his belly so hard that he broke his tight grasp. Turning around, I gave him a worst kick in his abdomen before getting into my car and driving away.
The only sound that echoed in the empty forests in the middle of the night were the sounds of the screeching tires of my car that I drove roughly across the road.
The peaceful silence was broken by the incessant honking of the cars from behind. I looked through the rear mirror to find a total of four giant Toyotas chasing me down.
I knew they were James' werewolves. This fucking bastard never had the guts to fight me alone. I slammed the accelerator harshly.
I needed my men at this moment but fuck there was no signal on my phone. It was a bad choice for me to come to this remote area, uninformed, it was worse to get drunk and all this was happening because of the fucking worst bride, Zara!
The anger and hatred for Zara in me fueled me to drive faster. Suddenly, I heard a gunshot. I looked at the rear mirror, to see James mounted with a gun. The bullet pierced through the air and broke my rear mirror into pieces.
Fuck! That was too close. I pressed the accelerator more. I was caught up in a very tight situation. I had to drive my car into zig zags to dodge the bullets that James and his men were showering from behind.
In no time, I drove to the outskirts of town. Death was right behind me but now I knew I could win by distracting them since now I was off the narrow road. But alas! Before I could take up the path to distract them, a set of black Toyotas driving from the front blocked my way.
I harshly slammed the brake and so did the set of cars driving behind me.
I was caught up! James had surrounded me from all the directions. Left with no choice, I had to leave my car. My eyes darted wide when I saw the number of men stepping out of the cars. Were those many men really going to attack me, or the booze was hallucinating me and making me see more people around?
Suddenly, a tight blow was delivered from behind, on the back of my head, and my body crashed down on the ground, the corner of my mouth breaking and blood spurting out from it. Before that wolf would deliver another blow to me, I caught his hand and turned around. In a quick second, I got off from the ground and snapped his arm before kicking him off.
The next moment, I had around five wolves attacking me. My hands formed tight fists and I punched one of them right on his throat, and a light groan left his lips, probably his wind pipe was broken. With all my strength I fought all the twenty werewolves including James.
I was exhausted and injured, bruises all over my body. Before James or his men would rise from the ground, I got walking down the lane.
Right now, I wanted a doctor and I decided to flee to the high-class sanatorium down the street.
Fuck! I could see James' wolves employed at the entrance watching for me. It was clear from this that James had made a full proof plan to kill me tonight.
I had a thought of going to another sanatorium but it was far away from here. My energy was depleting with every fucking second, and I bet I wouldn't make it to another sanatorium.
I decided to sneak into the sanatorium that was guarded by James' wolves through the backside.
I successfully got into the sanatorium from behind and got into the first room that I came across. I opened the door revealing a dimly lit room.
Suddenly, I caught a hysteric, feminine voice, "Hiss- who are you?"
She was too loud and I jumped onto her to hush her down. Both of us fell on the bed. I, who was on the verge of passing out just like my wolf, felt a sudden gush of energy into me. I ducked my head into the crook of her neck to relish myself with the tantalizing scent of this woman under me.
Fuck! Her body smelled heavenly. Hector, my wolf said hungrily, "Xander, we need her. We need her."
Never had my wolf ever become so possessive and attracted to anyone. I would have girls all set to spread their legs to be fucked but not anyone had ever managed to attract me.
It wasn't just my wolf but a wave of insatiable anger lurked within my body, my cock getting harder to fuck the lady underneath.
Zara's POVTonight wasn't meant to be spent in this hospital room. It was supposed to be my wedding night. Just like any other woman, I had big dreams of this special night but not after my step-mother and my step-sisters forced me into a wedding. A few hours back, I stood on the altar cladded in a wedding gown. I didn't feel like a bride but rather a dolled up object awaiting for her master to pick her up.But that moment never came. My future husband didn't show up at our wedding. Standing alone on the altar, I was bashed with embarrassment. Majority of the guests were making fun of me, poking shortcomings in me which could be the reason why my husband never showed up at our wedding. And my step family was treating me with scorn and ridicule.This lasted for a good two hours before everybody left the banquet hall, and so did I and my family. After what drama happened on our wedding day, I should have been in my house. But I knew that would mean I would invite ridicule from my family
Xander's POVYes, marriage. As a compensation for last night, I was ready to marry Tania. It wasn't like my first time at sex last night. I have had my share of she-wolves to play with almost every fucking night but the sex I had last night was so impactful that I couldn't just shake away its thought from my mind.Hector had never been so satisfied with anyone. The scent of the lady was so attractive and mouth-watering both for me and my wolf that I was determined to find who the lady doctor was with whom I had a one-night-stand.It wasn't my thing to ask a lady whom I would grind her name or her identity. What mattered to me was sex but after seeing how good the lady from last night was, I was tempted to ask her name. She was so fucking good in bed that I wanted more of her. I tried to ask her name last night but my beta shot a warning at me and I had to leave the place.After getting to the safe spot, I tried to sleep but I couldn't just forget the lady even for a second and that wa
Zara's POVWhat the hell? I couldn't believe that my life could be so dramatic. After pulling the phone from my ear, I kept it on the seat beside mine and looked down at myself.Woah! I never thought of giving my virginity to a one-night-stand and that too in the hospital, and that too on my wedding night. Anyone's mind would fucking blow up when I narrate about the drama that my life had unfolded for me.Last night, I didn't hesitate a little to let a stranger grind my pussy but right now I was sweating. Fuck! What if Xander was waiting for me in bed tonight? What would I answer when he would question me about my whereabouts last night?I wished I could just go home.After leaving the hospital, one would go home, right? But I couldn't go back to my home because my step-mother strictly forbade me to come back and ordered me to go to a place that was more horrible than my previous home, my newly wedded husband's home. She kicked me out from the house where I had been living since child
Zara's POVKNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!The incessant knocking wasn't ready to stop. I was damn sure it would be Xander. It felt like he was pouring down his wedding night's rage of not having me in bed. He had to be up in his arms wondering why was his bride missing and where the fuck was she when she should have been in her husband's home, in his bedroom.There was nothing to cover my body. I couldn't meet my husband naked. Dammit! What should I do? But I couldn't make him wait for longer.I decided to keep the door slightly ajar by that I could possibly prevent Xander from finding out that his wife fucked a random stranger to pour down her humiliation.I opened the door and my eyes widened after what I saw next.An old lady in her fifties was standing at the door. She was wearing the same uniform as the other girls. It looked like she was a senior maid."Why would you knock like there's an earthquake?" I said, enraged.The maid simply held her head low and I ranted further, "Are you trying
Zara's POVHow the fuck did this happen? I wasn't expecting my husband Xander to know Tania. How were they knowing each other?My whirlwind of questions came to an abrupt halt when there was a knock on the director's door. Both of us looked at the door to find a nurse.She said, "Director, the setup is ready in the conference room. The board is waiting for you."The director nodded and said, "Yes, I am coming."Rising from his seat, the director stood in front of me and said, "I know it's shocking for you, Zara. But don't lose hope. I am sure you can get an internship elsewhere too. All the best."With those words, he left the office.I balled my hands into tight fists. I worked so hard day and night because I wanted to get that internship in Lennon hospital. Every doctor dreamt of being in that hospital. Getting into that hospital required sheer hard work and consistency and Tania had neither of the qualities in her. Why do I feel she did apply some shortcut to get that internship so
Zara's POVI couldn't hold myself stronger and my body slipped down landing on my knees on the cold terrace floor. Why was fate so cruel to me?I shouted, "No matter how cruel you want to be with me, be but not with my mother!" That was my painful cry to the universe.I said to the universe but was I getting any reply or word of assurance back from the universe. Unfortunately, no!My mother's fate was in my hands now. If I obey every fucking word of Carla, she would continue paying my mother's hospital bills. Receiving the best treatment was what my mother was in utmost need of and for that I was ready to do anything.In order to save my mother, I accepted my evil step-mom's proposal of marrying the man I didn't know or I had ever seen, and now it was time to obey my step-mom's next command put forth by my eviler husband and his family and that was to have sex with him and bear his baby.Wait! Sex! This reminded me of something. Last night I had sex with a stranger. Fuck! I didn't use
Xander's POVThe thought of my wife being absent on our wedding night was fueling me with anger. My wolf hated it equally or probably more than me. He was eager to come to my surface and show my nominal wife her real place. But we were in the human world and nobody should be knowing that I was a werewolf.I closed my eyes to calm my wolf that was growing mad. The thought of Zara wasn't ready to erase my mind. I was so absorbed in it that I couldn't even perceive that somebody had just entered my room."Aha…" I groaned in pain.I peeled my eyes open when I felt a stringent pain in my hand.I saw a nurse inserting a drip on my backhand.I held her hand and asked coldly, "What are you doing?"The nurse got scared on seeing me in rage and she trembled."Sir, the doctor asked me to keep you on a drip for tonight." She stuttered.I freed her hold over my hand and harshly took off the drip. Opening and closing my hand a little, I said, "No need.""But, sir, it's important…" She tried to spea
Xander's POVFinally, Zara was in my bedroom, the place where she should have been on our wedding night!My thought of showing up in front of my wife and punishing her was so vivid and satisfactory but then all of a sudden, I got pulled out of my thoughts when I felt my back pressed into the petite body of Tania.I got back to reality to find myself hugging Tania and how tightly she had wrapped her hands around me, not ready to let go of me."Thank you, Mr. Xander," she continued to thank me in her sweet voice.I reiterated, "It's nothing, Tania."I could feel Tania shaking her head into my chest, as she continued, "It means everything, Mr. Xander. It has always been my dream to work at the Lennon Hospital, and it's because of you my dream is coming true."Hector wasn't liking the closeness for reasons unknown. He was repelling but why?Contradicting Hector's move, I continued hugging Tania.But suddenly, I felt someone breaking our hug. Harshly detaching my hand, the person said, "Ho
