ANDREA.
Living a life as an omega in the pack has never been easy. Sometimes I do wonder why we were born,’ myself especially’ and the most ironic part is that I didn’t meet my mom. I didn’t meet her to show some love to me or comfort me when I fell; sometimes I blame the moon goddess for my misfortune, but everyone says it was my fault my mom died, so I got to suffer for it. I’m Andrea Carlson, a wolf-less omega and an orphan. I don’t know how and why I became an orphan because I didn’t see or know my parents, the pack also knows nothing about them. It was like I came down from heaven with no parents, sometimes the pack felt familiar and other times it felt like something was holding back my memory, but I’m not certain.In the crescent moon pack omega are treated more like slaves, talk more of a wolf-less omega like me, we were forced to labor hard with no or little food. I’ve always had a dream where I would get my wolf, a mate from another pack, and leave this godforsaken pack, but who am I kidding at eighteen, I still haven’t gotten my wolf, and it kind of hurts and anytime I think about it, it’s makes me more angry at the moon goddess.“Andrea, Andrea.” Ma'am Christine, the head maid of the pack, called.“Yes ma’am, good morning ma’am.” I greeted tucking my long black hair behind my ear, that is the only thing I Thank the goddess for, my straight black hair that stops at my ass and my beautiful face and curves.“By the goddess, What’s wrong with you? you’ve been spacing out too much this morning,” she said with an irritated face.“I’m sorry Miss Christine,” I replied shyly.“The Luna asking to see you now.” she relied on her message from the ‘Luna’.“Okay, I am going now.” I walked out of the kitchen to the second floor and when I got to her room I knocked and heard a ‘come in’ so I opened the door and walked in. The room is always a mess, I don’t want to think about what the Alpha and Luna are doing at night.“Good morning, Luna, you called me,” I said, bowing my head slightly because the last time I stared at her, I was whipped and only the thoughts gave me goosebumps.“As you know, there is a celebration tomorrow.” she paused, and I nodded, which was wrong because the next thing I received was a slap.“And how many times have I told you to reply with your word and not nod your head like a fool.” she scorned.“Am sorry Luna.” I apologized with a shaky voice.“I want you to make sure all preparations are ready by tomorrow.” she said, and I almost replied keyword ‘almost’ Am not the head maid, Christine is, so why aren’t you giving her the instructions instead.’ That was the words I almost blurted out.“Yes, Luna,” I said, facing the floor and staring at my worn-out shoes like the most interesting thing in the world.“You can leave now.”“Thanks, Luna.” I scurried out and as soon as I locked the door I breathed a sigh of relief.Luna Lily is very scary, and sporadically I think that the name ‘Lily’ is too pure and innocent for a monster like her, she needs a better name that fits her ways, for example, Medusa. Medusa is nice because everyone cowers around her and turns to stone when they see her hair, but Luna Lily owns her eyes.I completed my tasks for the day and went back to my old cramped room tiredly, all my body ached from strenuous work. I felt lightheaded and all I could think about was to get on my already damaged bed to get a good night's rest to prepare for tomorrow’s work. I slumped on my bed with a sigh and closed my eyes, going to my dreamland.Next morning.The door to my room, which was a basement, opened jerking me out of my sleep and Lilith the alpha’s daughter poked her head in with a frown on her face.“And why are you still in your room?” she asked when she saw me in the bed lying down.“Am down with a cold Lilith” I replied with a shaky voice. I know with how tired I was last night, I will surely fall sick.“And how is that my business Andrea, you are supposed to be outside with the other maids getting the preparation for my brother’s ceremony ready” she yelled, walking in and yanking the little piece of cloth from my body.“You must stand up and join those maids outside, you weak omega” I signed tiredly. It isn't my fault that am an omega or that I don’t have a wolf at eighteen.“What on earth are you daydreaming about Andrea, if you don’t want Father to hear about this you better get yourself out now” A cold shiver ran down my spine. Alpha Jason isn’t someone to mess with; he is the Alpha of the second-largest pack, the crescent moon pack.He is respected by all Alphas around the r world and every pack member fears him not to mention a lowly omega like me.A sting on my cheeks broke my thoughts and I winced.“You lowly bitch, how dare you, when I talk to you; you are expected to reply to me is that clear.”“Yes Lilith” I replied, trying to hold my tears am not going to give her the joy of seeing me cry.“And it’s Princess Lilith to you.”“Yes princess Lilith” I replied quickly, and she glared at me for a while before walking out. I signed deeply again and followed her out.Werewolves are not supposed to fall sick, we are immune to cold. Our body is always warm but since my wolf refused to come on my seventeenth birthday, so I always fall sick like this cold am down with.The crescent moon pack is holding a ball for the next Alpha of the pack, which is Nicholas, the apple of the Alpha, and Luna's eyes. Nicholas is charming with those sexy green eyes, small pink lips, and long eyelashes and all the unmated wolves wished to be mated to him, even me, I guess they will get the chance tonight because he’s also choosing his Luna and mate tonight and all the unmated werewolves (both male and female) will also be opportune to meet their mate.“Andy, what are you busy staring at?” Sarah, my best friend, also an omega, whispered.“Umm nothing, when did you get here?” I asked with a little hint of blush on my cheeks.“Five minutes ago when you were so engrossed in whatever you were thinking about,” she said with an eye roll.“Am sorry, let’s go before Princess Lilith finds us doing nothing for the ball,” I said and dragged her hand out of the room, and we walked out to meet the open field of the pack which was huge, it will contain all the packs in our continent and as if the universe knew who I was thinking about a few minutes ago, I saw him; Nicholas training in the field with his best friend Jackson and future beta if he becomes the Alpha and boy did I say he looks yummy, especially when he’s training with those trails of sweats running down those massive abs which I sometimes think it’s too massive for his age. Sarah poked me and I turned to her to see a scowl on her face, I gave her an apologetic smile and continued walking.ANDREA. When we got to the hall, everyone was busy doing different things. Some were arranging the chairs and the podium, and others were decorating the hall transforming it from its usual dull looks. “Andrea, Sarah what are the both of you ogling at.” Christine, the head maid asked with a glare. “Good morning ma’am Christine.” Sarah and I greeted. “There is nothing good about the morning, Andrea what have you been doing since morning?.” she asked. “Am sorry ma’am, I was down with a cold, so I couldn’t come out on time.”“Always falling sick, I just pray to the moon goddess for you to have your wolf this night,” she said and I smiled. Although she acts angry and strict, she is still nice. “Thanks, ma’am.”“Sarah, you and Andrea will decorate the entrance with the Alpha’s favorite flower, violet roses, is that clear?”“Yes, ma’am,” we replied and walked to the entrance, meeting the basket of roses there, so we quickly got to work.
DANTE. I glared at the three good-for-nothing wolves kneeling before me. I looked at all the people gathered in the hall to witness their punishment for their betrayal of the pack.“What did you say?” I asked with my voice loud and clear, and that brought shivers to their spine. “Alpha, we are sorry. Please have mercy on us.” The first one pleaded and I scoffed. Mercy. That word isn’t in my vocabulary or dictionary, I don’t and will not show mercy. Showing mercy only means that you are weak and not in control, you do everything with strategy and strength, not mercy. “Mercy.” I chuckled and stared at them, one after the other. These wolves committed treason against the pack, putting every wolf in danger by giving secrets out to the other rival packs, not once, not twice, but countless times. I stepped back, watching them closely to see if they were gonna change and come clean to me, but they proved me wrong by opening the borders for those rogues. I stared at them the last time, th
ANDREA Everyone was changing but I'm still the only one standing without changing, nothing. I guess the moon Goddess has forsaken me yet again, I look at Sarah in her wolf form and I can feel the tears coming out from my eyes. I stood rooted in one spot not knowing what to do, why am I so unlucky that I couldn’t even get my wolf, one I could communicate with, one that could reassure me that everything would be okay? AAWWWOOOOOHowls filled the hall as both the males and females changed, and then I felt it, even if I didn’t have a wolf I could still smell and feel things, like now for example I could feel some tingling on my skin. I looked around and saw mates meeting each other, and when they met they changed back to their human form. Furthermore, I looked at the podium and saw Nicholas in his huge gray wolf, he sniffed around searching for her, his mate and I stared closely to see who the lucky female would be but imagine my surprise when he walked majestically in his wolf form to m
DANTE. I found myself staring at my pack getting burned down by the witches, wolves getting slated like animals. “Dante, take your sister and get out of here.” Someone yelled, and I turned to see it was my dad. Dad.“Dante go.” My mum yelled at me and I snapped out of my trance. I looked around and saw everything going down, nothing was saved. “Dante, go now.” Dad yelled again, fighting against four wolves at the same time. No, I can’t leave them here, I need to do something. “I can’t leave you dad, tell me what to do.” I ran to him, and he growled using his Alpha voice. “Take your little sister and get out of this pack, right now.” He ordered and I nodded. I went behind the tree Alesia was hiding and brought her out. “Where are we going Dante?, what’s happening?” She hugged me, crying silently on my shoulder. “Shhh, everything will be fine.” I reassured, and even I wasn’t sure of what I was saying.” I turned to look at my parents the last time, but what I saw shocked me. “No
ANDREA. I stirred awake when I heard some muffled noise in the forest, the sound of footsteps running and a growl. I opened my eyes slowly to see what had invaded my space and was shocked when I saw a wolf, a midnight black wolf with red blazing eyes. I stood up with speed and made to run, but someone held me back, I turned to see a naked man with a frown and a look of irritation on his face. “Please don’t kill me.” I begged and tried to free myself from him, but his hold on my gown tightened. “Please.” I muttered with tears already coming out of my eyes. I can’t die like this, not when I haven’t met my mate yet. Please help me mum, dad, wherever you are, please help me. “What are you doing here, rogue?” The man asked with a growl, and I shrink into my shell more. I don’t know what to say, I don’t know whether I’m going to live or not. “I asked a question rogue, what are you doing here?” He snapped, and I was forced to open my sealed mouth. “I..... I ...... I” I couldn’t form a
Chapter seven. DANTE. I ran in speed through the forest, growling and saying cusses to the moon Goddess. How could she play a game with my soul like this, I didn’t ask for another ‘mate’. I don’t want one, not now, not ever. I growled and paused, I changed into my human form, hitting the nearest tree. I yelled as I continued hitting it until a huge dent appeared on it. I sighed, I sat on a huge rock thinking about this new development of my second ‘mate’. I don’t want one, I told you Selene I didn’t want another one, another one that would betray me, my trust and my pack. I will just reject her and kill her, leaving her in my pack isn’t safe. Not only that, but I need to eliminate her to keep me sane and my pack safe. “I know you’ll be here.” I didn’t turn to see whoever it was because I already knew it was Fred. “I told you to stay in the pack, Fred.” I snarled. I stared ahead of the water fall. “I couldn’t stay when I know you need someone to talk to.” He took a seat beside me
ANDREA I was lying on the cold ground of the cell. Lying with dried bones didn’t sit too well for me, but I was tired and needed to rest. My stomach grumbles for the umpteenth time today, and that’s a reminder that my stomach was empty, with the rush of the party last night I couldn’t stomach any food and I thought I would have a chance to taste some food, but who am I kidding. I sighed again and sniffed, I swallowed the tears wanting to come out. I’ve promised myself that I won’t cry, whatever that’s coming my way I’ll accept it, even death. My closed eyes snapped open when I heard the huge door opened, I got up to see who walked in or who they brought in. But imagine my surprise when I saw it was that Fred guy from earlier, I stared at him consciously as he inserts the key and opened the door of my cell. “Come on.” He waved at me to come out. “Where are you taking me?” I asked. I know I just said I’ve accepted death, but I want to avoid dying. I’m too young to die. I took slow s
ANDREA By the time I woke, it was dark. Amy, Emma, and another girl were in the room. I yawned and stretched, I really needed that sleep and I felt refreshed. I haven’t had a good sleep like this since years. “You’re up sleepy head.” Amy said and I blushed. I’m still not used to anyone talking to me, except Sarah. Sarah, I miss her so much. She would be mated by now, and I guess they’ll have their pup soon. “Yeah.” The other girl whose name I haven’t gotten was staring at me. “Andrea, this is Liliana, our other roommate.” Emma introduced, and I smiled at her. “Nice meeting you, Liliana.” She turned her head to the other side without saying anything. Okay, that was weird. A bell rang, and I turned my attention to Emma, who was equally staring at me. “That’s our cue for dinner.” She dragged my hand out of the room, Amy and Liliana followed behind. We got to a huge door, and she opened it and asked me to go in, I stepped in and saw other girls and boys, but mostly girls. There was
An hour later. We were in the Crescent Moon Pack house, Dante and Fred were already here so we didn’t meet much of their interaction. Nicholas was the first to see me as I walked in, and he rushed to my side, Rae and Alessia in a defensive stance behind me as they saw him coming closer. “Please forgive me, Andrea! I… I had no idea my parents did that to your parents, please, we are sorry.” He begged as he fell on his knees. I stared at Nicholas and looked around if I could see Lilith anywhere, but she was nowhere to be found. My eyes met with Sarah’s and I could see her trying to hold her tears. I nodded at her, and she smiled before taking my gaze back to Nicholas on the ground. “I forgive you, Nicholas. Yes, I forgive you and your sister because I know you weren’t there when that happened, all I need from you is for you to return my father’s pack to me.” I said. He answered quickly before I could even finish my words, “Take it, Andrea. You can take it because it belongs t
ANDREA. TWO WEEKS LATER. Two weeks have passed since little Audrey left us for a better place. The pain of her loss was still there and I blame myself every day for not being quick, for not saving her on time. Hell, I blame myself for coming out of the bunkers, I got to know from the guards placed outside the bunkers that Audrey slipped out when she didn’t see me. She came out because of me because I couldn’t do one thing I was instructed to do. I hosted myself in a pity party and used sex as a way out, for the past two weeks I have been extra horny and wanted to jump on Dante’s bone more than ever. I thought it was because I was still grieving, but it was becoming too much. Dante tried to pull me out of my grief, but it was so hard, it was hard to forget those cute eyes and lips. Those eyes that were always staring at me in admiration…. Now I can’t see them anymore. She was gone. “I miss you, Audrey,” I whispered and then groaned when my stomach growled for the umpteenth time t
DANTE. “You can’t kill her, Dante.” She said after laughing to her fill. My brows raised at what she said, “Do you think I’m bluffing, witch, I will kill your daughter the same way you killed my parents.” I let my claws grow and then positioned them at Estelle’s neck, but Morgana said something that halted my plans. “You can’t kill her because she’s your sister.” She yelled and I froze. I froze where I was standing for some good minutes when I heard that, there was no way that was true, right? That couldn’t possibly be right, there was no fucking way Estelle could be my sister. Fuck! I don’t feel any sibling bond with her, and she doesn’t have a fucking wolf in her. Lycans are special and any family with the Lycan blood has a close bond with their sibling(s) like the way I have one with Alessia, but I don’t feel anything for Estelle so it was pretty clear that she was lying. Everything she was saying was to buy tile, and I’m not falling for that anymore. I stared at Morgan
‘Please save her, Dante.’ I managed to pass the message through the mind link, then took my eyes back to little Audrey, who was still running towards me. ‘Don’t come any closer, Audrey.’ Morgana stopped muttering her spells and I gasped in shock when she took one hand from mine and then stretched it towards little Audrey, and my eyes opened wide in shock. “No.” My heart thundered as I looked at little Audrey who wasn’t attempting to flee from there, and then my eyes moved to Morgana who was still reciting some spell with her hands stretched out. My eyes widened as I saw the spell going straight to little Audrey’s way, I tried to hold Morgana’s hand, but I was far too weak to do anything. Summoning all the strength I could mutter, I yelled, “Save her, Dante, please,” I begged with my other hand glued to Morgana’s. She wasn’t letting this go easy….she promised not to hurt anyone. I couldn’t move with my hand trapped in Morgana’s, my heart pounded as my breath sized. I wat
DANTE. The fight with the dead rogues and witches was both exhausting and tiring, they all didn’t want to die a second time and anytime we thought they were dead they would rise again. All my focus was on the rogues I was trying to kill, I didn’t know where Andrea was, but I could feel she was doing okay through our bond. I was busy fighting with the undead rogue for the fifth time when Jocelyn came to my side, she looked at me and then whispered something in my ear. My eyes widened immediately and when I looked at the other side, I saw Andrea already there speaking with Morgana. She wasn’t supposed to be there without anyone by her side…without me by her side. “Go Dante, I will hold this,” Fred said and I turned to him. I didn’t even know he was behind me. “Thanks,” I looked at Jocelyn who nodded then took off with Jocelyn running after me. Isa saw us and quickly ran after us. ‘Wait for me, Andrea.’ ~~~~~~~~~~ ANDREA. I got to Morgana’s side quicker than I thought and
ANDREA. I looked at Dante who had shifted and was already by my side, he pulled me closer to his warm body. “What is she doing?” He asked. “Dark magic,” I replied. I looked up, and the once sunny sky had turned dark, a strong wind blew out of nowhere while Morgana kept on chanting. My eyes widened when I saw the already dead witches and rogues waking up, and walking towards Morgana…..what the fuck!! Everyone stopped fighting as they watched the dead rising and walking towards Morgana, even the headless witches woke up and walked aimlessly towards Morgana. Morgana had a wide smile on her face as she kept on chanting and calling on whatever demon she was summoning. “We have to do something, Andrea,” Alessia said, coming over to my side. I looked at her and asked, “What can we do? The deed has already been done, we can’t turn back the hand of time unless we have that.” I said, pointing at Morgana. They all shuddered and shook their heads. “What on earth is happening here?”
ANDREA. I couldn’t stay with the women and children in the bunkers, not when my mate and every other warrior in the pack was fighting out there. I wanted to go out there since those witches came for me and I did it, after making sure all the women and children were accounted for, I sneakily left the bunkers without alerting the guards placed outside. When I made it to the battleground I saw the fight already in full swing, the smell of blood that covered the ground from dead witches or wolves hit me. I looked around at the number of her people fighting, trying to see if I could find Dante anywhere, but I couldn’t see him. My eyes met with Fred’s and for a minute, he was shocked to see me standing there. “What the fuck are you doing here, Andrea?!” He yelled, completely ignoring his surroundings. My eyes widened when I saw a witch approaching him from behind. “Watch out.” Out of instinct, I stretched my hand out and the witch's head blew off. Her body slumped on the ground wh
ANDREA. “We are under attack!!!” I froze in where I was standing as my mind comprehended the words I just heard. Under attack again… I woke up from my reverie when something tugged my dress, “We need to leave Andrea. Now!” Alessia didn’t wait for my reply before dragging me out. Although I was following her, I still couldn’t believe that we were under attack, by whom and why? The warriors who were sound and ready to fight rushed out of the infirmary with us also, and while we were heading back to Dante’s pack house they assured me that they would do everything possible to protect the pack. “Where’s Andrea?” Dante hissed, rushing outside and that was only when I came back to my senses. “I’m here, Dante.” I was immediately engulfed in his warm body and he kissed my head. “What’s going on, Dante?” I asked, pulling from the hug and searching his face. “We are under attack, Andrea, and I need you to go inside with the other women. Take your Luna to safety.” He ordered a warrio
ANDREA. “Dante!!” I called out in panic and watched in horror as the witch’s light ball moved quickly in his direction. My heart was beating hysterically as I watched Dante look at the light in both shock and anger, but he didn’t move. ‘Come on, Dante,’ I urged in my mind as I whispered a silent prayer to the goddess. I opened my eyes and saw Dante move quickly to the side, he growled and charged at the witch. I let out a sigh of relief and a tear rolled from my eyes when I saw he was okay. He killed the witch and the two others before facing me, he was breathing heavily, and my eyes roamed around his body, searching for any cut on his body and I gasped when I saw the huge injury on his back. My legs automatically carried me to his side, and before I knew it I was holding his hands, “Are you alright?” I asked, searching his eyes for any sign of pain. But all I could see there was happiness and relief. “I’m so glad you’re okay, Andrea.” He pulled me into a hug and I melted in
