“What? Are you jealous?” I asked as I turned to look at him. Woah, his eyes were darker, and he was wearing that scowl so well. He looked like a baby about to throw a tantrum. “You are?” I squeaked. How amazing would it be if he were jealous?His face slowly welcomed a smile, and he said the words I was expecting more or less, but it did suck to hear him say that. “Of course not; I have a girlfriend,” he said, but his arm held my waist tightly while my feet dangled below me.For someone with a girlfriend, he sure was excited behind me.“How lucky you are,” I smiled, pushing his arm off. “Impudent bastard,” I grumbled as I walked into the kitchen to make tea. “You sure you don’t want tea, Mr Sage?” I asked through the wall opening.“I think I’ll have some now, please,” he said, and I nodded. The poor guy looked uncomfortable. It was Miall's fault.“I’ll have some, too,” Malakhi said, sitting beside Michael, his eyes roaming Michael as if he were threatening him.Why was he such a bully?
I sat in the kitchen watching Nyleve argue with Miall. It was always comical to see them behave this way, and it was all because of me. As I recall the day the conversation began, a smile crept its way onto my face.Michael's session with me had just ended, and it was time for him to leave. Nyleve had entered the house around thirty minutes ago fuming, something that happened at the council's meeting that she didn’t want me hearing about but I didn’t mind, I wasn’t interested.The council was real weird, and I wanted to stay far away from them.I helped Michael pack his stationary while Miall, Malakhi and Nyleve whispered in the kitchen. I admit I wasn’t interested, but seeing them whispering felt so taboo.“So, what are they saying?” I leaned in closer to Michael. So maybe I was a tad bit interested.“Oh no, that wouldn’t be respectful of me to listen in on their conversation,” he blushed embarrassedly, and I rolled my eyes.“Look, it’s not listening in on their conversation if you ca
Oh, my fucking gosh! I couldn't remember the last time I was this excited, but I couldn’t wait for tonight! I was finally having a party, that was for me! Organised for me, people who were coming to celebrate me!This felt unreal.Tonight was finally my welcoming party, after at least what I think had been three months, but they say it had just been almost two; okay... but the point was the weekend was finally here!Malakhi had told me almost every story of every party they have here, from welcoming parties, crowning parties, retirement parties, and so many parties that seemed awesome to be at, and I just couldn’t wait; it was finally my turn to get some sort of fun time here!Don’t get me wrong, hanging out with Anin was total crazy fun; there was a good time guaranteed with her around, but sometimes I wished I wasn't so pregnant so that I could experience the great fun. I wanted to get drunk in Nioz, and I was pretty sure it was a blast.But besides hanging out with Anin, there was s
MiallPer my mother's instructions, Malakhi and I waited downstairs for the girls. It took them forever to get ready, and I started to get bored. Malakhi seemed excited despite stuffing himself with Amanah’s fruits. We both sat on the island tools, watching Malakhi choose and pick which fruit he would shove in his mouth.“Do you really want to go through it again with Amanah?” I asked as I leaned against my fist, watching him peel an orange, as she called it. It was orange in colour, which was not very creative of her people.“Huh, what do you mean?” He asked with his mouth full, and I shook my head. “You’re eating her fruits again,” I pointed out, and he looked at his hand, shrugging. “So?” He questioned, biting into the orange without separating the segments as Amanah did; what kind of animal was he? “You really don’t care, or are you hoping she doesn’t notice?” I asked, amused, as I got up and stretched my arms over my head, I was itching for a run, but Orion was still on a no-t
AmanahI stared at Miall the whole time we stood on the stage; his expression and body language had changed, and it seemed like he was someone different.As always, he left his shirt's two or three buttons undone, with his hands in his pockets as he stared straight ahead, emitting this dominating aura. Dominate me in bed, please.His right eye twitched, and he turned, staring at me.“Face forward,” he mouthed, and I scowled.“Kiss me,” I mouthed back, and he squinted his eyes before commanding me to face forward again, and I did. What can a girl do to get a kiss in this place, huh? I said I was okay with pretending that kiss didn’t happen, but it was all I thought of, and, of course, more.And this stupid mark had been itching as if it wanted to be bitten again. Only if Miall paid more attention to me. I got an idea and tugged at Miall’s shirt. I knew it would end in rejection, but there was nothing wrong with trying. He looked at me, and I smiled innocently as I pointed to my neck and
After Miall marked me—again— the party turned into a celebration. Of course, everyone was happy that their Alpha had found his mate, how blessed he was.My ass.I felt indifferent to this whole situation. Was this really happening? What in the world compelled me to nod my head and say yes when he was clearly in love with Willow? Also, what happened that made him propose?Stupid jerk!I watched Miall as he looked out into the crowds, they all seemed so happy and excited for us and yet here we are, not happy at all. It pained me that he wasn’t as happy as his face was. I know I wanted him more than anything, but I didn’t feel okay with him pretending to want to be with me for the sake of whatever was happening in this pack.I hated being lied to.I got up from my seat, and Miall’s head turned towards me, and he held my hand; I felt sick.“Where are you going?” he asked with some bit of concern in his eyes. I smiled and pointed to the ground.“To dance with the others, it’s kind of boring
MiallSince Amanah left the platform, I kept my eye on her; maybe I should’ve gone ahead and danced with her. Right now, she wouldn’t be talking so happily with that tutor of hers.What did she see in him anyway?What were they even talking about so happily, with smiles and discreet touches here and there? Didn't he know she was to be wedded to me and yet still had the guts to talk to her so flirtatiously, fucking hybrid!“So, it seems our Alpha is getting married,” I immediately groaned as I watched Drystan sit next to me—man read the room—I was not in the fucking mood!“Yes,” I replied with a smile, hoping that would end this conversation I didn’t want to have with him. He was the reason we were in this mess; I should've gotten rid of him earlier.“With a human,” he continued, and I nodded. “Do you really think she would be fit to be Luna? Even Willow is a better fit for the role,” he said with a small shrug, and I clenched my fist and turned to him, still holding the smile on my fac
AmanahWhen I walked away from Miall, I bumped into Anin and Malakhi. They both had mugs filled with alcohol, and I crossed my arms over my chest. Oh, look at the love birds.“So, what was that all about?” Anin sniggered while she leaned against Malakhi, who was obviously enjoying the fact that she was glued to him; he kept his arm wrapped around her waist, balancing her.“Yeah, that was very intense,” Malakhi mumbled as he sipped his drink.“I’m hungry,” I answered, touching my belly. “Do you guys want to go get burgers?” I asked them, and Anin immediately stood up straight.“Absolutely horrible for your diet, but let's definitely do it,” Anin said as she pushed herself off Malakhi; even though I could clearly see she was drunk, she managed to stand straight without Malakhi’s help.“Can you not be a doctor for one night and just be that wild girl you told me about,” I held her hands in mine, and Malakhi raised his arms.“Yeah, be that wild girl that you are, Anin,” Malakhi whispered,
