Dove's POVThe music blasted through my ears, I had been here for hours just getting myself drunk, I heard it made your feelings numb.It sure did the trick."Hey there darling, are you here alone?" A guy walked up to me from behind and I turned to him, pushing a strand of hair behind my ear."Hi, I've always been alone" I said and he smirked but a girl immediately came pulling on his arm."How dare you? I'm his girlfriend, you know?" She says sneering at me and I scoffed"He came onto me, couldn't even keep it in his pants. You should watch your boyfriend" I said getting off the barstool."She tried to seduce me" the guy said, panic stirring in his eyes when the girl flashed him a brow of doubt but turned to me defensively"You can't go for the single ones, you just want to break people's relationships. People like you shouldn't exist" she said"That's it bitch!" I lunged at her but her cheater boyfriend pulled me off and took her away."Feisty! I like it" I heard a voice say and I t
3rd Person's POVLexus moved to carry Dove who had fainted, sighing in frustration.He knew he shouldn't have marked her, she was a human and he didn't know what would happen to her after this but the utter ecstasy he felt after claiming her made him not regret it at all, now she belonged to him, and everyone would know that!When a werewolf marks their mate, part of their blood is given and he didn't know if her system could contain his blood.He carried her bridal style, walking towards the SUV when her eyes suddenly flew open."What? What happened? You bit me! You animal!! What did you do to me? Why are you holding me!?" She said all at once, "let me down!"He put her down and looked behind to see some other men coming after them.He knew who he had hit, the owner of the club and... Alpha of the Moon Shadow Pack. Yes, this club was full of werewolves and he just happened to fall into an ambush, worse still, with his mate with him!He didn't regret punching the dude's face, he had h
Dove's POVI was listening when a sudden pain shot through my head and my hands went to my head."I'll listen later, do you have a painkiller, I'm having a hangover" I said and he looked at me with concern before rushing off."Here" he said, handing me some pills and a glass of water I stuffed into my mouth.I looked around awkwardly, "I should probably be leaving" I said and he glared at me."Your friend's home isn't safe and Derek would already be looking for you, you're safe here" he said"Who's Derek?" I asked"The guy who had his hands all over your body!" He half yelled"Why would he be looking for me?""Because I punched him for you! He may have already connected strings and is after you""He is after me because I'm your assistant? Are you involved in some shady deals?" I asked, fear getting the best of me and he smirked."Maybe I am" he said and turned to the door to leave the room, "you'll be safe here, the shower is all yours"He left the room with that and I looked around,
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
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
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 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 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 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!!"
