Alexa's POV
"Well, I can't blame myself if he doesn't like me and sends me back but with this feeling rippling in my chest. Why's my wolf getting all excited upon the harsh treatment." This is a question I have to ask myself because since he came into this hall, even though I didn't see him walking in, my wolf and heart seems to go awol. It's going crazy without my permission.
"Not everyone likes you, and it's perfect that way." I say to myself.
"Who told you I'm an Alpha?" My heart drops, I turn my head slowly towards the receptionist, her gaze falls.
"It was a slip of the tongue sir," she mutters.
"I've said time without number, do not get to reveal our identities but since I don't like her, she would be going." This he says as the receptionist is about to pass my new ID to me. My brows arch up, my legs vibrate as I hear this. The receptionist's hand remained in mid-air with the ID she wanted passing to me.
He gently shoves her hand away from me.
"The ID can only be given if you are accepted by us!" He says straight into my face and walks off with one hand in his trouser pocket.
I stand here, quite confused, trailing my eyes to whichever direction he's going. I don't know what to do right now, my heart at this moment wants to fail me. So far this would have been the only job to raise such an amount of money for my surgery. I wouldn't just leave, my life is in danger.
"What about the rest? How can he alone, the person I loved so much in the world and was dying to meet, be so rude?" I ask.
"And let me tell you," I hear his voice from a distance which I swiftly turn around to. "f**k whatever it is I'm really right inside of me for you, I can never have a mate like you. I'm sure my brothers wouldn't want you."
"What!" My lips hang loose, not returning back again. Did he just mean he feels this way too? I puff out a deep breath, bending, feeling really exhausted and confused.
"What am I gonna do now?" I lift my face to the receptionist who's staring at me with pity.

DUSTIN
Her image continues to reflect in my mind as I walk off. I never wanted a woman who would come in and make my heart race, Louise doesn't need such a nanny. My brothers and I don't need a woman we will be tempted to have an affair with. One of the greatest mistakes I made was by not specifying the age range. Perhaps an older woman from forty years would've been better.
My brothers and I made a promise to our late mate that we would never give our heart to another woman after her death. This is what the pack members know but the secret is we don't want to endanger any woman that would decide to step in to be our next mate. She's sure to be killed by our first mate who is a Phoenix Vampire, prior to her dangerous nature we laid her down but her spirit still hovers in the estate. Once she detects we have someone else, she would definitely come for the person.
We specified that it would take a very long time before we bring another woman into our hearts but still we won't love her as we loved her. This was to calm her spirit before ending her life. We told our pack members and even our daughter that Lucy got diagnosed with cancer last year and died within that same year. She had Ovarian cancer which made it difficult for her to conceive but it was her endless dream to raise a baby with us. We went extreme to the point of adopting a baby from a foreign pack, a baby from a mother who wasn't capable of raising her child to make everyone believe. In this aspect, we could justify our action. She's a vampire and a cold breed one whose eggs were frozen, she couldn't bear a child.
As for the real mother of our baby girl, according to information from the hospital she gave birth at, she got impregnated after a one-night stand at a five-star club where she went to find a partner. The father of the child must be some wealthy bastard who knew how best to f**k a lady without protection, making her risk a pregnancy and eventually pulling her to suffer all alone.
Austin, Justin, Aaron, Baron, Cameron, Sharon and I loved Lucy so much, she was our only mate and at times I sit to think and conclude that it's a curse from the moon goddess. How can we be fated to a hundred year old vampire who was the woman our dad dated in his lifetime without knowing who she truly was until years later after marrying her.
