JaneWatching him standing there with his hands in his pockets had me wondering if I was even going to make it out of here alive.I had his aura battering me around and my heartbeat increased. I had the fight or flight response causing my feet to get jumpy but I couldn’t fight him as I didn’t have the strength for it. I could make a run for it but how far would I get before I would be caught?“So tell me,” he walked to me with a straight face. “What seems to be the problem?”I looked at the food and the room, scared for what he would do to me if I talked.The beatings I used to receive at home paled in comparison with what I would receive here if he caught a hold of me.He was going to destroy me and watch me scream for help.“I don’t have time for this, so you had better start talking,” he sounded pissed.“Why am I here?”“Isn’t it obvious?”“I know, but… why am I here? Why did you choose me?”“You were available.”“Can I leave?”“You belong to me now.”“I don’t want to. I’m not a pe
SinclairWhile talking to her I found her eyes shifting away from me from time to time. Even when I would order that she looked at me, she would still find a way to avert her gaze.This frustrated me seeing as she was supposed to be my mate. I walked to her to hold her hand as she stopped talking, her heartbeat racing.I felt a spark tingle on the tips of my fingers and I immediately knew I felt a mating bond.‘Did you feel that? Because I felt that,’ my wolf said within me.I was sure I had not been mistaken in the slightest. This was clearly a mating bond.This meant that my search had come to an end.She took her hands away from mine as she shuddered backwards. I could see that she was still scared, but who could blame her. What I had been called over the years was enough to make anyone afraid.I was only a monster and an out of control beast to those who challenged my pack. I was a father and a leader to my own people, protecting them from harm and showing them that I could be tr
Victoria“Gail!” I yelled when I entered the palace. “Gail! Where is that woman?”I walked up the stairs, tossing my bags and groceries to the maids who lined up to receive them.I heard a thud as I turned back to see a celery on the floor. The maid who was supposed to catch it frightened and shivering where she stood.“You’re fired,” I said as the maid started to cry. I turned to see Gail before me. “You scared me for a second.”My heartbeat had already increased as I looked at her and noticed there was something amiss.“Welcome back my lady,” she smiled. “You cannot fire her my lady as that is my job to do. She is fired only when her crime has been reported to me and she has been deemed unworthy of her position.”“Who made you head of the maids?” I scoffed.“The alpha did. It’s in my name, Gail, the head of the maids.”This had me rolling my eyes as I stepped forward, my heels clanking against the tiles when I got hit by it again.I stopped to turn around and face the maid. “What is
Victoria's pov“Give it to me straight Gail,” I said while taking off my coat to give to a maid. “Who is she? Where is she from? What does she want? And is she pregnant? Give it to me straight.”I had called the head maid into my room to question her and learn about the strange woman I had seen in the alphas room. There had to be an explanation for it.“I am not under any obligation to answer you ma’am,” she said with a smile. “I only answer to Alpha Sinclair.”“I am the Luna you twat.”“It has not been officially stated. You are only his mate.”“Do you dare to insult me and look down on me?”“I do not ma’am. I am only stating what we all know is true. If you have a problem with the other lady and if you have any questions then I suggest you tell the alpha about it.”“Get out this instant!” I growled as the woman bowed before leaving. I looked at the maids standing around the bed in anger. “And what are you three doing here? Get out!”They all bowed before leaving the room as I paced
Victoria“Go get me something else!” I yelled at the maid who scurried off.“Please tell me why you’re shouting at the maid is basically because of the drink and nothing else,” a voice said behind me as I turned to see my best friend, Ava.I smiled briefly before showing her a seat before me.“Here is your drink ma’am,” the maid said as I sipped it and liked this one better.“Good, now go get my friend the same drink,” I ordered to the woman who bowed before scurrying off.“What’s got you nippy today?” She smiled. “Are you okay?”“I am not,” I sighed, dropping the cup on the table. “It turns out my…”I suddenly remembered the threat Sinclair had made as I wondered if telling Ava would be dangerous.“Come on,” she noticed my hesitation. “You can tell me. It’s not like I’m someone else.”“Fine,” I sighed. “Sinclair brought a random girl into the palace to be his mate from what I can sense. Can you imagine the effrontery? He could not even respect our bond.”“Why are you acting surprised
JaneWhen Sinclair took me into the room I watched him walk to the window to stand with his hands clasped together like he was thinking.“Can we talk about what just happened out there?”I asked. “Who is she? And do I have to deal with her every single day?”“She is my wife,” he blurted as I nodded.“Your first mate,” I chuckled feeling a bit disappointed. “So I’m not even your first.”“No,” he sighed.“And when were you going to tell me about her?”“You arrived today, I don’t think you should be asking so many questions.”“I should so I would know what I’m dealing with here. If you were not available I would have lost that fight and the moon goddess knows what would have happened to me.”“Nothing would have happened to you. Now stop whining and let me think.”I plopped down stubbornly on the bed with my arms crossed. Whatever he was thinking about was extremely important but I still wanted answers.“Fine,” he smiled. “You should not be swayed by her ferocity. Underneath all that rage
JaneBut I was wrong, for when I awoke he was gone from the bed and I was alone.I decided that I was going to use that day to get acquainted with the people in the house, but it was only a matter of time before tragedy struck.I walked around the house to see that Gail was missing as well as Sinclair. The house was eerily empty today for a house that was filled up yesterday.I walked to the entrance of the house to see a maid running towards me.She looked like she was in distress and I immediately got alarmed.“What is it?!” I asked as she slowed down to catch her breath.“Madame Victoria has been caught between the reins of two horses in the barn,” she panted heavily. “She needs help. We need extra hands.”“Take me there,” I said as she ran ahead of me.I had taken in Victoria’s aura yesterday, how was she weaker than a rein? She was a werewolf with super strength, she was supposed to have taken down the entire barn if possible.I reached the empty barn to get in and see nothing bu
Jane I got back to my room, got into the bathroom and stripped my clothes. The bruises were there but I could see them healing up. Sinclair would not see them and I wouldn't have evidence that she had done anything to me. My healing factor was an active one, there was no doubt about it. I turned on a hot bath, entered the shower and started having my hot bath. When I was done, I got out and walked straight to the wardrobe. “If she wants war, she’s about to have it.” My wolf agreed with me and jumped excitedly as I decided to show her that I was not a pushover. I grabbed a sexy gown, wore it and went out of the room. I walked to the garden to sit and wait for Sinclair to show up. I would start my mately duties and I had no intentions of stopping anytime soon. “Coffee?” a maid said to me as I turned to see a maid with a hot cup of coffee. “Oh I didn’t order for…” before I could finish it, the maid poured the hot coffee on my body, scalding me and soiling my gown. I jumped out
