Alright fine.I suppose I should be the bigger person and apologize to Lola for hurting her badly.So after Alpha Xavier 'punished' me, I set off to Lola's house to see how she was doing.Taking a deep breath and mustering the courage to do what's right, I leave Alpha Xavier's room and head towards Lola's house.As I arrive at Lola's house, I hesitate for a moment at the doorstep. I can't help but wonder how she'll react to my presence after our violent confrontation. I know she probably won't just accept me as her friend, but that's not the point right now.With a determined mindset, I knock on the door and wait, my heart pounding in my chest. After a few moments, the door opens, revealing Lola with a bandaged face, a visible reminder of our fight. Her expression turns angry when she sees me."What are you doing here?" she barks."Lola," I say softly, my voice filled with genuine remorse. "I came here to apologize. Can we talk?"Lola studies me for a moment, her eyes searching for si

A while ago, back at Victoria's old pack.... I sat in the bedroom where I used to sleep as a kid, the pale evening light stretching over the area like long shadows. This place holds so many memories for me, and it served as a refuge during my childhood years. And I spent countless hours dreaming here. But tonight was different. It seemed like this room was the epicenter of the changes happening in my life. Suddenly, my mother burst into my room, her face gleaming with happiness. "Sweetie," she began, her words quivering, "I have the most incredible news for you." I could feel her excitement, and my curiosity shot up like a skyrocket. "What is it, Mom? You sound really excited," I asked. My mother took a deep breath as if gathering her thoughts. "Alpha Gabriel wants to marry you." I blinked, convinced I had misheard her. Someone wants to marry me? I had just turned eighteen! "Who is that?" "Only one of the most powerful Alphas! He belongs to Misty Hollow Pack, and he just sent

With a heavy heart, I wasted no time and ran back to my parents' house. As soon as I opened the door, I could feel the tension in the air."Victoria, what happened? Why do you look like this?" my mother said in a worried tone.I tried my best to keep my tears at bay, but I could feel them spilling out of my eyes. My dad had just walked in when he noticed my distress. He rushed to my side and took my hand in his."Victoria, what is going on? Is everything okay with Alpha Gabriel?" he asked.At the mere mention of Alpha Gabriel's name, I could feel my heart sink. Tears streamed down my face as I couldn't hold them in anymore. I shook my head and said, "Everything is not okay, mom and dad. Alpha Gabriel is a jerk!"My dad looked at me with concern, and my mother's face was filled with sadness. I told them everything that had happened, how I caught Alpha Gabriel cheating on me with another woman, and he said he wanted to keep a mistress by his side.My parents were angry and disappointed,

Present day... "He drank your blood? That's interesting," Alpha Xavier comments, snapping out of my memory. "It was disgusting," I snarl. "Could it be that he is part vampire?" he asks. I consider this for a moment. "But vampires drink blood directly from the veins, don't they?" "Yes, but maybe he likes it to be served to him," Alpha Xavier shrugs. "Either way, it was wrong, and the next few days were torture because of it," I say grimly, then continue my story. ~-~ Back then... After that day, taking my blood became a regular thing for Alpha Gabriel. Every day, they dragged me to that room and drew some of my blood in a bowl. Alpha Gabriel wasn't present all the time, but taking my blood was still a routine. They must've been delivering the bowl straight to his room or serving it to him for breakfast. I dreaded the days when Alpha Gabriel was present during my blood draws. He had a look of craving in his eyes like he couldn't wait to get his hands on the liquid life I provi

Alpha Xavier I no longer want to hide Sylvia from everyone, so tonight, I decided to hold a ceremony to announce our mate bond. The weight of secrecy had burdened us for far too long, and it was time to let our pack in on the truth. I know that this revelation would come as a shock to some, but I can't deny the love and connection Sylvia and I shared. "Gather everyone at the field. Tell them there is going to be a celebration of me finding my mate," I tell one of the elders of the pack. My voice is steady, but my heart is racing with anticipation and anxiety. This is a big step, one that will change the dynamics of our pack forever. As the sun sets, the pack starts to gather at the field. I can feel their eyes on me, and I know they are all curious about what's going on. I stand tall, my eyes scanning the crowd until they land on Sylvia, who is standing at a distance. The love and affection I feel for her is overwhelming, and I take a deep breath to steady myself. "My dear pack,
