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,
“Malakhi, go fetch my medical bag in her room, hurry,” Anin yelled, and Malakhi dashed away.I could feel myself shaking uncontrollably, and I felt like I was being pulled in and out of my body. I didn’t mind Anin’s touch; it was gentler than Malakhi's, which felt like it burnt me; however, it brought no relief to my aching body. I tried to form sentences, but I could only deliver incoherent stutters.“It’s cold,” I whispered despite feeling insanely hot at the same time. “It hurts,” I choked out as my tears rolled down endlessly down my face.I lay on my side, trying to find warmth from my body, but all I felt was pure pain shooting through my body.“Shh, don’t talk. I’m here with you, sweetheart,” Anin mumbled softly as she rocked me; she repeatedly wiped my tears, but no matter how many times she wiped, I kept crying. It felt like torture. What the hell is going on?I drifted in and out of sleep. I could hear Anin and Malakhi talking in the distance; I didn't know what they were say
MiallI sat between my mother and Malakhi as we listened intently to The White Prowler Pack's proposal. They wanted our packs to join and have one huge, harmonious family after all they had done.This was a waste of time.“This is shit,” Malakhi said through the mind link; both my mom and I nodded as we stared at the Prowlers representative.“Can’t we just say no and leave?” I asked as I sagged a bit on my chair.“You be quiet; you’re still on preliminary, so you don’t have much of a say, and sit up straight,” she bit out, and Malakhi snorted as I sat up. Their eyes turned to us, and Malakhi apologised.My mother was extremely mad at me because of what happened between Willow and me, so she suspended me. That is correct, and I am a suspended Alpha. Luckily, I could still attend the meetings just to keep up with what was happening. However, I didn’t really have much power when it comes to making decisions.It was not that I didn’t trust my mother and Malakhi, but I would also like to be
Amanah6 Weeks AgoNever did I think that what happened with Miall would be the reason I would go back home, it wasn't my first option but when Anin suggested we take a vacation back home, I agreed.I had a lot of mixed feelings about the whole situation with Miall, and I just couldn’t bear to be in the same space as him. Oh, I hated him so much!He came by almost every day to apologise, but Nyleve didn’t allow him to see me. He would stay in the house all day and continuously beg his mother to allow him to apologise to me.As if he couldn't just climb up the walls and stand on my balcony all day, but no...he was ashamed to face me and wanted to feel as if he was putting in the effort even though he wasn't.And as strong as I was, I would just spend the whole day crying because I will admit this: I was really hurt this time. Despite knowing that I had almost no chance with Miall, I wasn’t expecting him to do such a thing right after our engagement. It really hurt me, and I shouldn’t ha
