Dove's POVI hailed a taxi back to Paisley's since it's quite a distance from the company."36 ***** street ***" I said to the taxi driver, still in shock.I couldn't believe what happened, I actually got the job!I arrived back at Paisley's but no one was there.I plopped on the couch with my purse falling from my hands and my fingers found its way to my hair.I immediately snatched out my phone to call Paisley."Why are you calling me Dove? You know I'm not supposed to take calls on duty!" She screamed quietly over the phone trying not to grab attention."I got the job!!!!!" I screamed "I actually got the freaking job!!!""What?" She asked."I said I got the job!" I screamed again "and the pay is a hundred per 3 hours!! And the closing hour is perfect, 7am to 5pm" I screamed."Oh my God!! You- you'll be getting four grand a day. Do you get a vacation?" She asked, totally forgetting about how she isn't supposed to be with her phone."I didn't ask but-" I squealed "isn't it amazing? I
Dove's POV"Paisley!! Wake up!! Why the hell didn't your alarm ring? It's 9am!!""W-where? What? Oww!"I ran to the bathroom but on my way, I saw the alarm clock lying across the room, broken.Guess I might have done that.I hurried to the bathroom and placed some toothpaste on my brush then stuffed it into my mouth while I hurried to the shower with my toothbrush still in my mouth.I can do them at the same time anyways I hurried out five minutes later, dropped the toothbrush, grabbed my hairbrush and my hairdryer and was done in 0.369 seconds. I grabbed the towel and when I finished, I rushed out."What to wear, what to wear" I pondered, scattering through the closet "aha!"I found a white top, a black pencil skirt and some dark heels.But then my seemingly, 'good luck' turned upside down when my tummy rumbled."Why?!!" I sprinted to the bathroom and did my business calmly.I came out to see Paisley still sleeping and I hit her arm."Oww!""You're gonna be late for work" I said and
Dove's POVI was back home and had stuffed the suit into the washing machine.I had pretty much done nothing but spend my money today and read that boring book.But the files littered all around the table bugged me because I would have to work on them tomorrow as he had said I would be doing my actual duties then.So he hadn't paid me yesterday...I groaned as I rolled over the couch to check the time on my phone.10:49pmPaisley still wasn't home yet and I was getting worried, where could she have gone? I'm not so sure she might have even gone to work today.I called her again but it just went to voicemail.I was about to call the police when the door opened up and a drained Paisley walked in.She had dark bags under her eyes and she moved like a zombie."Where-" I hadn't even gone to the second word when she cut me off with her hand in the hair."Don't! I am physically and mentally drained right now. I'm heading to bed" she said and walked right past me to the bedroom, I heard a thu
Dove's POV"... And we just got along that easily... Skipping the fact that I had to wash his suit" I said to Paisley.It was Thursday night, when we fill each other in on all the tea that's been going on in our lives."I don't really like the guy" she said and poked a broccoli with her fork. She was still on her 'diet'."What? Why not?!""I just... Don't like him.""You shouldn't just judge someone." I said adding a bit of attitude impulsively. She turned to me with a gasp."You see where I'm going? In a week he's got you wrapped around his fingers, you know how guys like him are.""He isn't Bryan, Paisley!""I'm not saying he is but with my experience with guys-" I immediately interrupted."-Your experience with guys! You don't even know him! He's not like that!!" I got up."If that's how it's gonna be then fine! But don't say I didn't warn you!" She walked towards the bedroom and slammed the door shut.I was genuinely pissed off and I know I overreacted. I didn't know what was wron
3rd Person POV"Let go of her!" Steve screamed while Dove reached out to pull on Paisley's shoulder."Bryan!" Dove screamed in surprise.Steve kicked him in the stomach and Regina came running in."Bloody asshole!" He yelled, "let go of my sister!"He still refused to let go, "she's mine!! She doesn't belong to him! She's-" Steve had already landed a punch on his left cheek."I said, let go of my sister!" He repeated.Bryan's eyes turned red and he pounced on him while still holding on to Paisley.The two fought, dragging Paisley between."Call the cops!" Dove yelled while Regina was practically shaking, she was scared about this little fight.Dove had left her bag by the door."If you're gonna help, at least get my bag!" She yelled while pulling on Bryan who had turned to her and gave her an 'almost punch' but she had hit him first, with her knee, right in the gut.This was her biggest move.His hands immediately loosened and he fell to the floor holding on to his most precious asset
Dove's POVAnother day and a migraine to start it with.I feel dead, my whole body feels numb, I couldn't even open up my eyes.Paisley woke me up, "Dove! It's way past seven"I stirred, my body ached and my heart felt like it was being torn apart, "ugh!" I groaned, I was in pain."Oh my God, you're burning!!" Said Paisley and I struggled to open my eyes, "you have a fever... Stay still, I'll go get you some water"I pushed myself up and moved to the bathroom limping.I almost tripped but opened up the door and went in.Paisley arrived minutes later and pulled me out of the bathroom."You're sick Dove, and you're not going anywhere with that burning forehead!" She says stuffing the glass of water into my hand, I gasp and my throat aches.After taking in a gulp, I pushed the glass to her and headed back for the bathroom."Hold it there young lady, you're not going anywhere and I mean it!" She says but I ignored her and kept moving.She grabbed my arm and I flinched, "Dove, seriously! Y
3rd Person's POVHer heart felt like it was about to burst out of her rib cage.He made it so awkward, how am I supposed to reply to that?"I'll take that as a yes" he said and in a second he pressed his lips on hers.She was dumbfounded while he led her arms over his neck and set his on her waist.His tongue hit her teeth and she opened up giving his tongue way to explore her mouth, then she closed her eyes.She had never kissed someone before and she didn't know what to do, he took the lead, gently nipping on her lower lip before he pulled out, she gripped his shoulders to stop him but let go immediately.He smirked still holding on to her waist while her eyes widened.She kissed her boss, the boss she had been fantasizing about, the boss she sees in her dreams, the boss who annoys her but always makes her turn red. She Kissed Him!He let go of her waist still with his the sides of his lips tugged upward, "a kiss to start your day. You can begin now, Dove"He walked out the door and
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
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
