Julian “Where is she?” I shouted at the receptionist, giving me one-word replies as I frantically asked about Rosella. I don’t want anything to happen to her, and right now, I am so fucking worried. I willed myself to breathe, but It wasn’t working on me. If it were another person in my shoes now, I would have been so angry that they aren’t listening to me, but I can’t even listen to myself right now. My wolf pacing around in my head wasn’t helping things at all. I don’t want to imagine what could have happened to her. “Where’s the doctor? Where’s the man in charge? That fucker who called me, where is he?” I ask again. I’m currently at the hospital, and all of the nurses were staring at me like they were seeing something new. I don’t blame them; It’s not every day you wake up to see your alpha raging mad in the reception of the pack hospital. I can’t imagine what would happen to her if James got to her. With the way, he was so anxious to get her. He even desperately offered me someo
ROSELLAI can’t believe that Julian Rushed to see me. I didn’t even know that he asked them all to check up on me dutifully and report back every second. I have no idea what I’ve done to deserve all these kinds of love, considering the way I’ve been treated by James, and I can’t be more grateful.“Are you okay now?” He asks me, gently stroking my hair, and looking around my body, obviously looking for signs of wounds or bruises and I nod with a shaky smile. I just had a little dream, one which was too real not to be true, and when I woke up seeing that it was a dream, I was so relieved.My scream must have alerted the presence of the doctors and everyone I saw when I woke up, and that was what might have prompted the head doctor to call Julian here. I hated that I had to distract him from his pack duties or preparations for the trial. I hate to be a burden and the last thing I wanted was to be a burden to my second chance mate. “What happened?” Julian asks me, bringing me back from
ALPHA JAMESI dial Julian’s cell phone for the third time this morning unfailingly, but the fucker is deliberately not picking my calls. I’m trying hard not to get mad or anything and allow my anger to ruin things but the bastard is deliberately making things hard for me. I don’t want to lose it but I guess it’s hard for me because why would he ignore my calls. Maybe because he feels like he has the upper hand. I can’t wait to shock him out of his wits. The phone that I had placed on my desk some minutes ago, suddenly vibrates and I look at the screen, and Julian’s name flashes through. The call immediately hangs up just immediately it had ringed, and I smirk at his stupidity. He’s calling me then hanging up due to fear, an Alpha king shouldn’t be that weak. Julian wasn’t weak, he’s more like a scaredy-cat. A scaredy-cat that you can’t predict his next moves. I dial his number quickly, and it rings once and he picks. I thought he wouldn’t pick maybe he had an internal battle with hi
ALPHA JULIANI arrive at James’s residence, fully prepared with my entourage. I show up like the typical Alpha King I am. I’m waiting in the large hallway waiting for James, and no sooner do we all stand there, does he appears. He comes alone, and for a minute I’m taken aback.I know he’s in his forte, his abode but then anything could happen and for one I don’t even trust him. already informed everyone that I was coming here so he won’t try anything with me. “The Alpha King himself. You came here to see a lady, and you brought this whole army with you huh? I can see that someone’s afraid…” He taunts, gloating at me but I ignore his jabs.“Where is she?” I ask straight, going to the point, and not entertaining his useless talks.“You do really want to get down to business right? And I never gave you my word that when you came, you would see her or did I? If I remember vividly, you hung up on me.” He replied with a lazy smirk, I don’t think he has her with him. The James I know would
JAMES.Conniving bitch!Stupid conniving bitch! My blood boils with so much anger and the urge to pounce on something as I walk back to the dungeon where I locked Anne for years. Rosella was nowhere in sight, and there was nothing for me to pass my temper away with. I really hated the whole situation more. I should have known. I really should have known that the bitch is not to be trusted and shouldn't have left her alone with Julian to talk. I thought the warning sign and the murderous glare I gave her would prevent her from talking, but I guess people never learn. That bitch is so battered that nothing is left to beat up or torture her body, yet she proves stubborn each time. I hate to admit how strong she is because the stupid bitch had been enduring my whole shit since I brought her here. She just wanted me to kill her off and end things as fast as possible, but she wasn’t going to get her little wish granted that fast. I would show her how tough I am. She had the nerve to mes
She looks up at me under hooded and tired eyes that are bloodshot. I don't even remember the color of her eyes anymore. They've been so red and dark for so long as I can remember. She doesn't reply to me. Usually, Anne has comebacks for me that only make me want to hurt her the more and I am only waiting for one of those so I can have an excuse to torture her to my heart's content.Not that I need the comebacks to do whatever I want anyway. "What were you dreaming about?"I taunt again then grinned at the thought of what I'm about to say" Or should I say who? Julian?" Her countenance changed immediately after I mentioned his name. "Ahh...it really is him, isn't it? You still haven't gotten over him and seeing him today excited you?" She remains mute. "What did you dream about? Him getting you out of here in Grand style on a fancy horse like a fucking damsel in distress?" With each statement, I take a step closer to her. "Is that why you blabbered to him that you are my mate?!!"
ALPHA JULIANThe journey back to the pack house feels so slow and excruciating. My thoughts are all over the place and my mind is in shambles. As much I thought going to see her won’t affect me but it did, I felt nothing more than a failure. I wished I had searched for her more those days, I wished I actually paid attention to her behavior or the way James acted after she went missing. Thinking about it all now, his own act was so suspicious but my thoughts were all over the place. I try to will myself to believe that this isn't a dream and I'm yet to wake up from it. But the few painful pinches I gave myself proved it right that indeed, I wasn't dreaming when I saw my childhood best friend battered beyond repair and locked inside of a dungeon. The memories of how she looked when I saw her haunt me and even try to overshadow the memories I've had of her. We had so many memories together and I could barely count them. We took our first steps together and we have been friends since th
"What brings you here?" He finally asks when he realized I wasn’t going to talk first. He leaned back in his chair before setting his reading glasses as well as the book he was reading down on the table. He fixed his gaze on me and I felt quite uncomfortable. I know he feels guilty for taking James away from his family but I deserve respect too. James wasn’;t the only one forced to grow up all by himself. "I was at my brother's place today" I go straight to the point. and I watch his jaws set in a tick. Whatever he wanted to say to me, he changed his mind before staring at me as if he wanted me to continue. I never did and he cleared his throat before speaking. "And? Have you agreed to return his Luna to him?" My father asks again and I try not to roll my eyes. This again? I thought we were over this already, maybe because he doesn’t believe in brothers going to war but he should be considerate of my own happiness, the only person I would truly love and spend the rest of my life wi
