"Mine!" his fangs elongated and sunk into her neck, claiming her. An ear piercing scream was heard and Dove's eyes closed as she submitted to the darkness. ~~~ Lexus Gray, 26, future Alpha of the Crimson Moon Pack and also the current President of Gray Enterprises, three words could be used to describe him in the human world- cold, vicious and selfish; while to describe him in the midst of other dead werewolves who had dared to cross him, a ruthless maniac would be best to call it.

She worked as a waitress at Freddy's Diner until she got fired.

"I would like to speak to your manager", this karen here thinks she can mess with me.I smirked, "sure ma'am"I returned minutes later with the manager."What seems to be the problem ma'am?" She asked."I ordered some roasted pork loin with potatoes but after a taste, I realized it wasn't well cooked and I made a complaint but she says she can't return it and give me a new plate", she said."You call that a taste? You literally chowed down on everything", I replied."Is this how you reply to customers?""I'm sorry ma'am, we will give her a note of warning", she turned to me "Dove!""I'm sure you will do something about this?""Sorry ma'am but this isn't possible, if you wish to get another plate you have to order it then and pay for the two."She scoffed, "you've got to be kidding me", she got up and picked up her purse "I am definitely not returning here again.""I never asked you to and you have to pay for this before leaving" I said and she immediately turned to glare at me.She hesitantly and angrily placed some cash on the table before storming off.Yeah byebye, make sure not to come back.The manager turned to me, "Dove, this is the seventh time we're getting complaints on your service and even if she was in the wrong I don't think I can any further with this."My eyes immediately dulled and I immediately knew of what was coming."I get it", she smiled."You'll be getting your last wage", I nodded "I'm really sorry, I know this is already your second place of work.""It's alright, I understand I'm a handful to deal with."I walked up to the kitchen and met with Sophia, my friend here, she was the chef."What's up with your face? Get moving, those Karens won't deal with themselves" said Sophia as she picked up a dish and hurriedly walked past me to hand it over to another waitress."I just got fired Soph, again!", I said and hit my fist on the table in frustration."What? I thought you were on the manager's good books, you're the only one she smiles at for some reason" she said while still busy with her work."I am but she had to fire me, I wasn't really helping around here.""But then where would you get another job? You only have experience as a waitress and you've tried going for all the other restaurants and this is your last, what're you going to do now?" She asked, turning to me with concern in her eyes.We're actually highschool mates and met here. She knows about my family's condition and had been trying to help in her best ways possible."I expected this, but I really thought I would last longer... I guess I'll have to think of another way.""I'm always free to help""Yeah yeah, thanks but I think I should still go on with serving" I said trying to hide the dejected look in my eyes.~~~I walked through the alley with my phone in hand looking for another job, maybe I could work at Target, I mean, it definitely isn't hard, I've dealt with the right amount of karens.My phone buzzed.'MOM CALLING'I have enough on my plate and I'm not ready to deal with her right now but I know better than to ignore the call. I picked up."Hel-" she cut me off right before I could even say a simple 'hello'."We're out of groceries" she said and I cut her off calmly."Mom" but she still went on ignoring me or maybe she didn't even hear me at all."-and Emma needs a new stack of... M&Ms, Lays chips-" she continues."Mom!!" I screamed."What?!" She also screamed "you wanna burst my eardrum?""I just got fired", she paused."Such a daughter, why couldn't I have gotten one with brains? No! I had to get one as lazy as this. Now you're unemployed and we're stranded", I bit my lower lip, this had always been her reaction and I wasn't much used to the hurt I felt, "how much do you have on you?" She asked and I looked down at the last earning I got wrapped up in an envelope."Only like 50 bucks", I lied, I knew if I told her the truth then none of the money would've gone to me."Use that to get the snacks Emma wants and use the rest to get the groceries or figure out something", she immediately cut off the call and I sighed and stuffed the phone into my pocket.I could get that later, I'm going to Paisley's to cry my eyes out.My eyes went down to the envelope, there would be about 500 bucks in here, I got sad again, the job paid really well and I just lost it!~~~"Why does this keep happening to me?" I cried while Paisley patted my back."I'm such a disappointment!""I'll never be an accomplishment!""I'm useless!""You aren't" said Paisley.I was a therapeutic patient before since I'd tried to kill myself due to the hurtful words my mother always told me.She'd even threatened me not to tell the therapist why I'd wanted to commit suicide and just tell her I was crazy.Not like she bothered to pay for the therapy anyways, but when things got really tight and my dad who normally paid for the therapy, lost his job, Paisley became my therapist."Yes I am! It goes on like this all the time.""You're not a disappointment and you're not useless.""Of course I am, what'd you know?""I know you're an amazing person-" I cut her off."I'm not taking in all those sweet rubbish today Paisley, I've thought it through and all those things you said about me aren't true.""Of course they are.""You're just trying to blind me from the truth and make me feel better but it's not going to work this time... I should just go ahead and die!" Paisley gave me a shove and I fell on the carpeted floor."I've gone ahead trying to make you feel better and comfort you but I'm not going on with dying!"I cleaned up my snot with my hoodie's sleeve."Great, you've also gotten tired of me, you had one job, comfort me and just make me feel better but you couldn't handle it anymore and flipped""Whatever Dove, if you want to die then go ahead but know that if you die I'll kill you!"I opened up my mouth to go on with my grief when my phone buzzed again.'MOM CALLING'Again! I picked up the call and held it away from my ear."Where the hell are you?!! Emma's throwing a tantrum because you haven't gotten her snacks yet and I have to go through everything, plus everyone's hungry and there are no groceries and no one to cook!!" She yelled."Stop screaming at me!!" I yelled back and she paused."Oh so you've grown wings now, you've got the nerve to talk back at me now. It's that Paisley girl. You're already a disappointment yourself and you just had to get friends of your level to pull you down more" she said."Oh yeah? Why don't you go to hell then!" I yelled and cut off the call and I immediately registered what I did.I'm definitely in trouble now, I wasn't thinking! What did I just do?!I immediately scrambled up from the floor "oh my gosh!" I pulled at my hair."What's wrong?" Asked Paisley "was that your mom?" My nervous stare told her everything she needed to know."You can't go back there, only a miracle wouldn't have you beaten to death this time." she said and stood up to walk towards me."I have to" I replied, I know it sounded stupid but I did, I couldn't just leave, I mean they could find me and they were my family.I'd never told anyone this but once upon a time, my dad was loving to me and even if he's the opposite now, I still hope that ounce of love for me is still there. That tinge of hope is what keeps me going."Hold this and I don't want a single cent missing!" I said to Paisley and handed her the envelope along with the 50 bucks and I immediately headed home.It's ironic how a twenty-two-year-old rushes home like she's a teenager about to be grounded.~~~I walked in with shaky knees and Emma, the little witch, immediately screamed."You're finally back!!" She screamed and my brother immediately rushed into the living room with my mom behind him."Oh you decided to return. I thought you'd grown wings and decided to fly" she looked behind me to find no bags "where are Emma's snacks?" She asked as she walked towards me hurriedly."Um... I ran into some gangsters and they stole the money", she laughed."Why didn't they just take you with them? And I know you didn't run into some thieves" she said as she scanned me and before I could blink I received a slap at my left cheek and I raised my eyes to see my younger brother with his hands raised. He actually hit me!"How dare you lie to us? And you lost the job? Such a disgrace, let's throw her out already", he turned to mom and she rolled her eyes.I had the sudden urge to open up my mouth and today, I gave in."Why can't you get a job lazy-ass? All you know to do is laze around or get a bitch to play with" I said and regretted it the second later as I received a punch on my cheek.He immediately pounced on me and I fell to the floor while Emma also came over to hit.My mom immediately dragged him off."Stop it Mas, you know your father will be coming back soon and you hit her face, you could hit everywhere else but you know he's obsessed with her face" she said and I held my stomach with tears streaming out of my eyes but I wasn't one to sob, I bit on my lower lip with glossy eyes.She dragged him back to his room and dealt with me herself."Get out! You're guarding the house today, and I don't want to see you get close to the kitchen, get the groceries and cook some lasagna before going out, I'm watching you girl, if you close your eyes a wink or leave I will come after you! And get those weird eyes away from my face, don't ever stare at me that way again!" She screamed.I knew she would go on with what she said and I couldn't sleep today, there were cameras outside the house and she always checks it the next morning, I don't even know why I should guard the house, she just wanted things bad for me.I never really knew what I did to her. I had considered the fact that she wasn't my mother and only a doppelganger but the DNA results slapped me in the face, that was until she told me the reason herself.I reminded her of her ex, my real father who had broken her heart terribly by ghosting her before finding out she was pregnant and when my father found out that I wasn't his real child, he had harbored hatred for me too and the others hated me because, their parents hate me and I wasn't their real sibling too so they got a human punching bag.Tears streamed down my eyes uncontrollably as I thought of how miserable my life was.Dove's POVIt's been two days in the pack and I've been in the room all through.Lexus hadn't slept in here with me, but he did come to check up on me, give me some food and leave immediately, I guess my discomfort and embarrassment was axiomatic. My right eye-lid has been twitching repeatedly nowadays and a sense of foreboding creeps into my heart, leaving me continuously paranoid with dread. I've been thinking about it nonstop, and I think Lexus may have noticed my weariness too… I should probably forget about this.Earlier today, I braced myself and asked Lexus if I could ‘get some air somewhere outside the room’, he’d agreed and it had me beaming with excitement until now.I had no idea how a pack looked, and I'm quite nervous but having Lexus be my guide made butterflies bubble in my belly.I walked out of the shower to see a set of clothes lying on the bed as usual, some underwear, a white button-down shirt, high-waisted blue jeans and white sneakers, with a necklace and some s
Paisley's POVLife's been terrible since the last two weeks.For one, Bryan broke up with me. Two, I got fired... Yes! I got fired for inappropriate behavior during work hours, really?! That was all that bitch could come up with and the next moment I was fired.I didn't really let Dove know, well since I didn't want her worried about me.Okay, let's go on with the list...Bryan attacked me, My apartment was vandalized! Yeah! Freaking run over! Like turned upside down.I almost saw heaven... Or hell. A frigging rifle was pressed against my forehead.Some jerk 'Alpha Derek' came looking for Dove and shot Steve's leg even as I had told that moron not to be impulsive, now he's on a wheelchair. I think that may have been why Dove ran away, like she pretty much ghosted me after an emotional call.I couldn't reach her, I had even gone to that company but she wasn't there. I payed her family a silent visit but she wasn't there. I asked Sophie and she said Dove had called her too and disappeare
Dove's POV Adalyn's mother.It was pretty obvious since she took the eyes, the hair, the lips, the eyebrows, the cheekbones... But the rest were her father's.Adalyn was Lexus' sister which meant her mother was his mother which means this is Lexus' mother and I'm totally freaking out right now.She immediately walked up to me, the rest following behind her when Lexus growled and stood in front of me, baring his teeth.That just made me feel all mushy and gushy inside."Get those away right now!" She said, glaring at him but he kept his stand, snarling at her, "Lexus Sebastian Gray, get those two baby teeth out of my sight!" She repeated and he immediately retracted them but still stood, protecting me from them.His eyes flashed gray and his teeth were elongating and moving back in."I just want to see her, I won't do anything to her." She said and moved past him to stand in front of me, "you're the mate?" She asked, looking at me with distaste.What the hell was everyone's problem wi
Dove's POV He walked towards the bed and sat next to me, clearing his throat.I peeked out at him as he turned to me with a grin, "look who was drooling" he said with a smirk.I put my face back into the pillow in embarrassment, he had seen me."Wh-what happened..." I didn't want to assume that was his father and end up being wrong."My dad... He wasn't really..." I completed the sentence for him."Happy I was here, right? What were you talking about?"He pressed his lips together to form a line and creased his brows, refusing to speak.I could already guess what had happened, he refused to let me be their queen.I sighed and let go of the pillow, pushing myself to the side of the bed next to him."I understand." I said, it had always been 'I understand' whenever I got unaccepted by people or denied of something and there was nothing else to say right now."No!" He said, "you're not leaving me or the pack! This is where you belong and you're going to be Luna if he likes it or not!!"
Dove's POVMy heart hammered against my chest facing the furious man standing in front of me.His eyes had turned black, completely black and he let out a growl that made everyone around us shrink back and whimper. I could feel the powerful aura around and took a few steps back even as I refused to bow my head like the others.I heard another growl and saw Lexus coming to stand in front of me as he stared deep into the bottomless black pit of his father's eyes.They engaged in a silent conversation and Lexus turned to me, "Adalyn is over there, she'll lead you to my room, stay there. Don't come out or let anyone in!" He instructed while his eyes trailed to Adalyn standing a few distance away from us.I nodded and walked over to her while other's eyes trailed on me, I tried not to look back at them or put my head down as I moved towards Adalyn.She immediately grabbed my hand and pulled me into the mansion.She led me through the hallway while people cleared the way for her to pass thr
Dove's POVWe're currently in Lexus' car driving to God-knows-where.Just an empty lane that the car didn't fit with, I looked out the car's window just thinking about my life and how upside down it is right now.I couldn't and definitely wouldn't have imagined I would be in this scenario if this was a month ago, I was looking for a job and got a job at Gray Enterprises.I suddenly remembered Sophia and I smiled. I wouldn't be able to contact her again since Lexus had taken away my phone, something about them being able to track me.The ride was silent but not awkward a bit, we enjoyed each other's presence in the silence. After about two hours, we finally met a forest."We're almost there", that was enough to make me feel nervous and excited to see what a pack would look like.A few minutes later, we met bulky men and women surrounding an area with weapons in hand.They walked up to us and Lexus came out of the car and they instantly bowed and somehow bent their neck in some weird wa
Dove's POV "Dove!!" Lexus yelled and I rose up, my eyes met with his and his hands rubbed my knuckles.I turned to see an unknown lady dressed in a doctor's coat and his sister whose name I never remembered."You're finally awake," said the sister."I'm surprised she made it, your Alpha's blood is pure and she could take it" said the unknown lady."She's strong" said Lexus"Yeah, she's his mate and a future Luna for a reason" said the sister."What's wrong with your eyes?" Asked the sister."My-" I coughed and Lexus rushed to get me some water, "what happened to my eyes?" I asked after taking some gulps."They're blue..." She replied"Like mine" said Lexus and he turned to the doctor lady, "is this normal?""It is possible for the mate to get the same eye-color once marked but that's rare and it only happens when..." She gasped and turned to Lexus, "can I speak to you for a moment?" She asked and Lexus glared at her."She just woke up, I'm not leaving her" he said"Go away Lex, your
Dove's POV "Dove", I heard a soothing voice call after me and I looked around.Darkness.That was all I could see."Dove", the voice called out again and I followed the sound, it led to a faint light."Who-who's there?" I asked, I sighted a lantern and noticed that was where the voice came from."Dove", I heard the voice from behind me and turned with a gasp.A woman dressed in a long white gown looked at me with a loving smile on her face, "Dove", she bent down and cupped my cheeks planting a kiss on each one of them."Who... Are you?" I asked, still frightened."I am the moon goddess. I have come to tell you your destiny, child" she said and handed me her hand, I put mine in and she turned me around.The lantern's light led a straight path to a huge door."A walk through memory lane" the 'moon goddess' said and led me towards the door that opened slowly to reveal a garden, bright and full of flowers, trees and many people walking to and fro happily through.A beautiful lady with br
Lexus's POVI yearned for a reply, but I got none, she looked at me for what felt like hours and suddenly burst into laughter."You?" She asked"Yes, and I marked you... Because, my wolf took over and I couldn't control him""Oh, so you're a werewolf, no wonder, I was also planning to tell you... I'm a vampire and I came into your life because I heard werewolves blood taste delicious", she obviously thought this was a joke."I'm serious Dove"She cleared her throat, "sorry Mr Gray but that is-""I'm Lexus""What?""Call me Lexus", I really wanted to hear what it would sound like to have my name rolling off her tongue."That would be informal""Well I don't believe we're in the office""But we aren't close""You fail to realize that you're in my house, on my shirt, seating on my chair and talking to me, Dove" I leaned in closerShe blushed, she looked cute whenever her face turned red, like a rabbit caught stealing a carrot."Okay, Lexus" Oh Goddess help me, that was the sweetest soun
