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 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 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
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 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
Dove's POV"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
Lexus' POV"I think it's time for you to get married" my mom said and I rolled my eyes inwardly.Here we go again"But he hasn't found his mate yet" my sister replied"He's been looking for years, a decade I should say, your father and I can't rule forever, there are many unmated wolves who would be the perfect Luna for you-" she said but got interrupted by the old man as he walked over to have a seat next to her."You know he needs his mate to rule, she's the perfect one for the role" he said and I got up."Ivan just mind-linked me from the car, something's up at the office. I'm leaving" I said and got up without waiting for anyone or anything else and left.They all knew I was lying but they also knew better than to touch the topic with me again.I got into the backseat in the car and met with Ivan, we sat across each other."You're back so soon?" He asked, we were more like buds than boss and assistant."They were talking about my mate again" I simply replied and he chuckled knowin
Lexus' POVAdalyn raced up to the car and jumped into the back seat to meet with me.Shopping with her had been moved to the next day, currently today since she was still with Mark, her mate.I had cancelled the gathering with the wolves. I figured, fate would do the work.I was on my phone, discussing business with a few of my friends and business partners."Western Mall, please" Adalyn said to the driver, and he started driving.Then she turned to me and snatched my phone, "your eyes are always stuck on electrical appliances,"Adalyn is my older sister, she got ahead of me with four years but she still acted like a teenage girl even as she'd already given me a ten-year-old adorable niece. who looks like her bratty fatherYes, she'd met her mate and already birthed a pup, he was the Alpha of the Venom Pack."Why didn't you ask your mate to take you shopping?" I asked her and her eyes turned all lovey-dovey at the thought of him."Mark has things to do, I don't want to bug him" she r

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
