*Rex's POV*I stared at the other person who appeared to be a man. He noticed I was curious about who he was and finally spoke up. “you don't remember me do you” He asked. It didn't take too much of thinking to realize who he was. He was the one who attempted to kill me at the Bridge. “So this is the one that really owns the baby. He's quite pathetic for someone with a child ” I said to Gwen.Martin fumed up. “Who are you calling a pathetic person. Do you have a death wish?. Even if you don't, I am finally going to make sure I kill you properly This time” He said and brought out his gun Wich he aimed at me again. I sighed and shook my head in disappointment. “So you're going to take the cowardice way out again. You are really pathetic, no doubt about that” I said mockingly. Martin paused for a while pondering on what to say. Gwen noticed what was going on and tried to stop him. “What are you doing Martin. Shoot him now and end this finally ” She said. Martin took a deep breath and
Joan's PovI sat by the corner of the ceremonial hall, wanting to take a break. My back ached from the stressful work I've been doing since morning, I haven't even had my breakfast yet.Well, let's not talk about breakfast, I barely eat a day.I was made to starve, and if my duty isn't done before that time, I won't be having my meal for the day.It's been a year since I've been working my ass off in this mansion. Honestly, I still haven't gotten used to their silly rules.I watched the other maids scrub the floor, they'd then dry it with the dried rags. I wanted to remain in this same position for the rest of the day, or I'll probably be dead from tiredness."Joan," Silvia called, "Mrs Green is here." She announced and I quickly stood up from where I sat to continue scrubbing the floor.Mrs Green has been a pain in the ass, she never takes sorry for an answer. I've been trying to avoid her, but in so many ways I wish I knew, she keeps standing in my way, finding one reason or the oth
Joan's PovNight approached faster than expected. Some guests had begun to show up one after the other. I also saw Alpha Xender, a very good friend of my father back then. He was looking gorgeous and excited about the night, and I wondered within myself if he ever felt sad when he heard about my home.I doubt he did. The way he shook hands with Alpha Rex showed he never cared, because if he did cared, he wouldn't have given him those smiles."You brat, what are you doing here!" Mrs Green yanked at me. I felt her hand land roughly at my back. "Do you want those guests to see you appearing in this?" She said, pointing at the rag I was putting on. "Now get the hell out of here or I spank you again."I ran out of her sight. I hid myself under the staircase where no one could find me, especially Mrs Green. Then I heard Alpha Rex's voice, he was talking to a lady. Her voice sounded strange, I haven't heard it before.I stayed in the same position, not attempting to move or he finds out that
Joan's PovI froze under the voice of Alpha Rex. "Did he just call me mate?" I thought to myself. "Does it mean I am his mate?" When I turned to meet his gaze, he had a frown on his face. I was twice as shocked as he is.I couldn't believe any of these, plus the numerous eyes staring at us. "No, this is not possible. There must be a mistake somewhere. You're wrong, it can't be me. I can't be your mate." I said, shaking my head continuously as I stepped backwards from him."Look here, young lady, as much as you think this is a mistake, you better start accepting your reality. And bear in mind, none of this changes anything between us." He said as a matter of fact."You're lying!" I yelled. "This is all fake! I can't be your mate! I'd rather rot in hell than to accept you. I don't want…"He grabbed my hand tightly. "You better shut the fuck up and act for once." He growled, his voice low but hard. His gaze was piercing to the bones, and there was no single joy in the way he looked at m
Joan's PovThe dinner went successfully even though what happened there felt unrealistic to me. I hated myself for feeling that way towards him, I hated how my body kept responding to his touch. He had touched me twice to show his mother how true he was to have me, giving me those sweet romantic looks that almost made me think he was for real.He told me to go to his room and wait for him while he escorts his mother to her room. All that kept ringing in my mind is why exactly did he ask me to come here? To question me or yell at me for winning the poor old woman's heart?I stood in the same position until he finally showed up. Those romantic looks were gone, and I was staring at the ruthless Alpha Rex who has no single feeling for me."All thanks to you for winning her heart, yes, I really appreciate that. But don't take it too personally. She finds you quite interesting doesn't mean I do. It's two different things. So, if you still wanna live your life without crossing my path, then
Joan's POVI couldn't sleep, my eyes were opened with regrets boiling inside of me. How could I allow the Don of the man who had my entire family slaughtered to….My heart felt heavy, I felt like I had betrayed my family and all the people who died that horrible night….One look at Alpha Rex was looked as innocent as ever while sleeping, i wanted to grab a knife and stab it through his heart!What have I done? Joan, what have you done to yourself? Ypu made yourself so accessible and now this happened…I ran my fingers through my hair in frustration, weeping quietly. "You're such an idiot, Joan."I realized my hatred for him had gotten even worse. If only I stayed under the stairs and let Ms Green screaming my name till she passes out, none of these would have happened. How could forget what just happened? How could I have let everyone including myself down?And all for what?A mate that was never going to make me his Luna…I need to get the heck out of here!I have to walk
Joan's POVHer cottage is something out of a fairy tale and the perfect example of not judging a book by its cover.In contrast to its rough exterior, the interior looked like the walk room of a royal family.The couch looked like something made out of the finest timber and clothing. From the ceiling, hanging down is a lovely chandelier and the bookshelf on the wall held different books from across all packs."My son. He loves to read" I took another look at the countless books, just about what percentage of thus has he been able to read? From the furniture to the fittings, it looked way too pleasant for an average old woman."I have a son who thinks it's a wise decision to spend a lot of money to make this place look homely. It's looking like a guest house, not a family house" "It is…really beautiful ma'am" "Ms Anna is just fine!" She cautioned with a smile "And yes it is lovely. Not so lovely if you live alone" "Your son. He doesn't stay home?" "For his own saf
Alpha Rex's POV "What do you mean by she's gone?!" I yelled, asking my beta for some answers.Joan was in my bed the night before she went missing for almost a week and he has the guts to tell me she's missing."Alpha Rex, we've looked everywhere for her and no one seems to have seen her. Nor even the maids Alpha" "Your reply is not what I want to hear, Beta. Find. Her" He left immediately.Staring down at the paperwork I had to go through, a sigh of frustration escaped me. Why do I care where she was and why do I feel so unsettled knowing she might be missing? If made no sense to me! She's just a maid! /And your mate Rex, don't ever forget that!/ Aaron snapped, he was as irritated as I was about her absence."I am aware of my name Aaron! Where the hell has she gone? Who does she think she is sneaking out of my bed?" /You were never going to accept her as your name. What point was it for her to stay with you?/ Aaron was starting to frustrate me with his useless talks!
