I couldn’t believe what I had just heard. I thought I had just imagined the sound, but then I heard continuous moans and I knew then that it was really there.
What I couldn’t process was why did the woman say Alpha? Could it really be that Alpha, and if so, then would it be my sister with him?
I don’t know what’s worse – hearing my sister having sex or hearing somebody other than my sister having sex with her boyfriend.
But the peculiar thing was that it didn’t sound like her at all and I’m pretty sure she was busy getting ready. I also know her well enough to not get her hair and makeup messed up before an event. She would not agree to
Trust is earned, respect is given, and loyalty is demonstrated. Betrayal of any of those is to lose all three. I read that quote in a book a long time ago, and though I didn’t understand it much back then, right now it was very apparent to me, like having blurry vision your entire life and suddenly you get glasses and voila, 20/20 vision. “Now I see why the Moon Goddess mated us together. I’m going to have a lot of fun marking you on every inch of your body, Hailey baby.” Kage’s words made me visibly uncomfortable and I’m sure he saw the way my face contorted into disgust, but he didn’t care. He doesn’t care about anything but getting what he wants, and right now, I was clearly very much that. I could feel his hard on pressing against my body and in most cases, girls would be drooling over that fact, but to me, I just wanted to puke. I need to get the hell out of here. “Let. Me. Fucking. Go.” I threatened him as my eyes bored into his with anger and determination. Kage was
My heart shattered and broke into a million pieces. I knew she didn’t care for me much compared to Heather, but she had to at least realize she was looking at her daughter, no? “No, I’m…” I was speechless. Totally and utterly rendered mute in front of my mother who had carried me for months and now had no idea that her own daughter was right in front of her. And to think they were my family. “Sweetie, are you alright? You look a little dazed. Do you want water?” She gestured to the inside of one of the waiting rooms and had me sit down. Sweetie, she said. Even my own mother back then never called me that and she was calling a random stranger it? What the hell? My heart just kept breaking as each second passed. “Here you go. Weather’s been a little humid lately, huh? Don’t forget to keep yourself hydrated.” She passed me the cup of water and I tried my best to stop shaking so much so I wouldn’t drop it. “Hailey.” I accidentally blurted out. Her head turned to me so fast and her
Colt couldn’t stop staring at me. Well, none of them could. It felt like an hour had passed that we were just in the room and I was seated on the couch with Colt next to me.While my brother looked at me with worry visible in his eyes, my parents still stared at me in horror.It was obvious what exactly they were thinking – either I was a ghost or that I had come back from the dead.“Hailey…” My mother hesitantly called me, breaking the silence in the room.I looked up at her with a tight-lipped smile.“What…” She began, her eyes thoroughly scanning me. 
Heather looked downright pissed. She just came into the room complaining and whining without even actually looking at anyone. “Ugh, mother, I’ve been calling for you for minutes now. Stupid Priscilla forgot to bring my second gown change and she said she asked Cindy to do it, but I can’t freaking find her. Where is everyone?!” Did she just say Cindy? Should I let her know where her best friend’s actual whereabouts really was? It was only when she looked up and saw us did she stop to process what was happening. She looked around the room like everyone had grown two heads. “What is going on here? And why is a stranger in our waiting room?” She stared at me in repulsion as if not half an hour ago she was just gushing over me. Wow, my sister change moods really fast. “Heather,” my mother stepped up, but she didn’t seem to care as her gaze remained on me. “Answer me, stupid. Are you deaf?” She asked while she was snapping her fingers in front of me, like I was just some kind of
Heather’s face said it all – shocked, confused, and absolutely betrayed. Everyone else in the room also thought the same, but didn’t say anything. They probably thought it wasn’t their place to speak up or maybe they couldn’t even come up with words after he showed up out of nowhere. “Kage? Baby, wha– what are you doing?” Heather asked, obvious that she was still trying to keep her cool. Kage turned to my sister with gritted teeth, the muscle on his jaw ticked. “Protecting my mate.” “What?!” Both my sister and I spat out in surprise, and I think that’s the first time we’ve ever truly agreed on the same thing. Heather shot me an annoyed glare and I slightly raised my hand up in surrender. I’m not trying to fight her. I never was. I wish she’d freaking see that and stop acting like I’m her enemy. “You heard me, Heather. Hailey is my rightful mate and I won’t let you hurt her.” Kage exclaimed before pushing her hand away from my face. Heather looked infuriated, but as well as
Though I know my brother was–is–a great fighter, I’ve never actually seen him fight. Kage, on the other hand, once tore apart three wolves by himself during an invasion that came out of nowhere when we were away for a school trip. I had faith in my brother’s abilities, but I also didn’t want him to get hurt. “Try me, Knight. I’ll make sure you fucking regret it.” Colt provoked him further and he let out a low growl, just as Colt growled back too. I thought these two were actually going to end up tearing each other apart, until my father stepped up and shouted in his Alpha voice, “Enough!” And everyone immediately quieted down, all eyes on him. “If one of you shifts in this goddamn room, I swear I will personally haul your ass out of here. Colt, you’re turning Alpha in a few hours and you’re about to get into a fight with our ally? Seriously?” He looked at Colt with such a threatening glare that made him look slightly defeated. “And you,” his eyes moved to the other man next t
I didn’t think it could happen so soon. Or, well, I didn’t think it could happen at all in the first place. But I think… I was looking at my second chance mate. A mate that was given to you by the Moon Goddess because the first one was wrong in her eyes. In this case, my mate this time around definitely seemed right for me. Even though it still seemed like a dream that was too good to be true. Kylo Knight had become even more handsome since I last saw him, and I didn’t even know that could be possible. His green-gray eyes looked even more hypnotizing, and his wavy brown hair looked so soft to touch. This was the little boy that always looked smaller next to Kage. The boy that was only ever seen as Kage’s younger brother. This time, it was like he could win a battle with him without much effort. I don’t know what happened the last six months that I had been gone, but it’s like he grew up to become bigger and better. And even more handsome, too. I was practically on the ver
After what seemed like a long and agonizing few minutes of my father just staring at Kylo, he let out a deep exhale. I think he’s calmed down and that made me feel relieved instantly. “I’m sorry, Kylo, but it just doesn’t work that way around here.” What… the… hell? Did he just confess he was taking out my free will? “Wha–” Kylo and I both stammered, but my father talked over us. “I said what I said and my decision is final. If Alpha Kage wants you, Hailey, then it shall be done, but if he doesn’t, then you are free to do as you will. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have an inauguration to get ready for.” My father turned around and walked out of the room before either Kylo or I could say anything else. I slumped on the couch, feeling defeated. What the hell just happened? I felt the weight of the couch get heavier at the side and when I turned, Kylo had sat down next to me, and he was giving me a solemn look, his lips formed into a half smile, but he didn’t seem happy at all. He l
