Lahat ng Kabanata ng Alpha Dane’s Little Project: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

“Hurry, Hale!” Lydia, the head chef, barked my surname. A deliberate act to keep my father’s name alive— to serve as a constant reminder of his betrayal to the pack. “You don’t have to show the world how lazy you are all the time.” She mumbled under breath, but loud enough for every maid in the kitchen to hear. “Don’t keep the guest waiting!”“Yes, Ma’am,” I said, before carefully grabbing the drink and walking out of the culinary wing.I rushed, my legs moving as fast as possible, while my hands did all they could to stabilize the freshly squeezed orange juice in the tray. As usual, I was met with the same scornful looks as I walked down the hallway.It’s been two decades since my Dad committed suicide after betraying the pack, and my mom— who couldn’t live without her mate— followed suit. I had learned to hold my head up, though not too high, despite the endless gossip. It was the only way to survive this hellhole. Besides, for how long would I atone for a sin I didn’t commit?

Vivica’s POVMoon-Crescent was something out of the ordinary.The tall towers, tarred streets, and lush greeneries gave the pack, which looked more like a city, a sophisticated and tranquil atmosphere.I moved in my seat, my eyes roaming the environment in utter awe as the car passed through gate after gate, finally halting in front of a massive white mansion.“Welcome to your new home,” Adrian announced.I looked away from the window, staring at him for the first time since we entered his territory.“You own all of this?” I asked, unable to hide my astonishment.“Mhm” he nodded. “Let’s go inside.The elders are waiting for us.”“The elders? Why?”“Why not?” He squinted. “You are my mate, and I’m the Alpha. It’s only normal that you meet them.” “Well…I…”“I know this is all new, and probably overwhelming. But I want you to know that you aren’t the same Vivica from an hour ago. You are with me now, and whoever is with me gets nothing but respect and honor. You are special, Viv. Embrace i

Vivica’s POV “Get the necessary documents ready,” Adrian’s voice drawled, low yet threatening. “Vivica is ascending the throne in two weeks.” When those words left his mouth, the hallway went dead silent. My eyes widened.I tried to object, but my words came out in a helpless stutter. What was wrong with him? Was this some sort of a joke ? “Adrian…I mean, Alpha Adria—” “Call me Adrian,” his deep voice urged, his gaze dropping to mine. “Isn’t this too—” He placed a finger on my lips before I could finish. “I told you already. You aren’t the same woman you were hours ago,” he whispered. When he turned to address pack elders, who were too stunned to speak, his face hardened. “The meeting is over, Elders.” “Of course,” they chorused, before walking away heavy in silence.Theo pressed his lips together and gave Adrian a curt nod before heading out himself. “Okay, Ms. Vivica. How about I show you to your suite?” “Mmm,” I mumbled, letting him lead the way. We walked toward an ele

Vivica’s POVI woke up to the sound of Crisy’s asking me to open the door, saying someone was waiting outside.My eyes opened, slowly absorbing the faint light that filtered through the sheer curtains.I got out of bed and went to the door. The moment II opened it, a woman pushed her way through, followed by a maid.“You must be Vivica. The Alpha’s…mate?” The woman stated, a clear trail of disgust glinting on her face.“Yes. I’m Vivica. How may I help you?”She scoffed and muttered under her breath, “Help me? As if.”“Well, Vivica, I’m Felicia. Alpha Adrian hired me to transform you. He doesn’t like what he is seeing so…” she trailed off, scanning me as if I’d been freshly picked out of a trash can. “Adrian said that?” My voice came out low and devastated.“Well, not literally, but isn’t that what he means if he has to hire a professional like me?” Felicia turned toward the maid, who nodded in agreement.“Anyway. I don’t have much time to waste here. Ms. Arella swept out her entire

Adrian’s POVArella walked into the room just when Vivica was stepping out. Her gaze followed her till she was out of sight.“You changed her closet? And even got her a phone?” Arella walked hurriedly to the sofa. “I can’t believe you are letting her fool you with that fake naivety of hers.”“You seem to forget she is my mate.” “Oh, spare me with that mate bullshit. You’ve been on this mate thing like you are the first man to find one.”“I might not be the first, but I’m allowed to be happy about it, aren’t I?” “I’m just looking out for you, cousin. I don't want anyone taking advantage of your kindness. The world thinks you are some tough, ruthless guy, but I know how sweet and easily carried away you can be.”“I’m kind, not stupid, Ella. Besides, it’s just clothes and a phone. What’s wrong with that?”“She has clothes and a phone already. I sent my old clothes to her as soon as she arrived because—”“You did what?!” I flared up. “Why would you do something like that?”“Because I c
