Adeena's P.O.V
Something heavenly woke me up from my nap, it smelled so good. I've never smelt anything so delicious, it had my mouth literally watering and it pulled me out of bed.
Looking into the mirror of the bathroom, I sighed and turned the faucet on, I grabbed one of the toothbrushes from the holder and put some toothpaste on it before brushing my teeth.
I had a familiar scent on me, lingering, I couldn't really think about it right now because I wanted nothing more than to go downstairs and find out what that sweet savouring smell was coming from, it had my tummy rumbling angrily.
After brushing my teeth, I washed my face and without taking another look at myself, I left the room and headed down the long hallway and down the staircases.
I walk into what appears to be the kitchen, which had the smell all over it. I took a deep breath and savoured the moment, but ummm, that was quickly cut off from the vibe I was getting.
Finally taking my surroundings in, a couple of eyes stared back at me, shocked and puzzled, all sat around a table and around the room, not to mention, all shirtless.
No one was wearing a shirt, and then I looked down at myself, I was wearing nothing but a dress shirt, half of it hanging from my shoulder and my hair was probably a complete mess, if Mother could see me now I would get so many scoldings.
"Who's the babe!?" a brunette asks catching the attention of Isaac, who I might add, wasn't wearing any shirt either and was by the stove.
Oh my gosh!.
Oh my gosh!.
Oh my gosh!.
Boys, all shirtless!.
No!.
The first thing I did was scream.
I covered my eyes and turned around to leave but I bump into a chest, my hand still over my face, I reached out meeting skin, a yelp left my mouth immediately and in no time I was ready to run, with my eyes covered.
"Oh come on darling, he can't have all the fun", a voice jokes causing a few laughs to go around.
"Guys, you don't wanna do that" Isaac calls out in a serious tone.
"Relax brother Isaac, we're not going to hurt the little pup", another voice says.
My heart starts to race in this moment, Kalan was obviously nowhere in sight and I'm afraid to open my eyes.
I could feel the sudden hunger of these boys, all because of my rumbling tummy, I felt the need to come down here without a second thought to answer it's plea.
"Can't say I didn't warn you" Isaac says giving up.
Oh come on, you only talked once!.
The only thing I wanted right now, was for Kalan to come and rescue me from these boys, I felt so violated just standing here in a dress shirt and undergarments, just panties, ahhh, on your first day of joining the pack and they see you half naked.
Great first impression.
"A ginger, he's never brought a ginger around before".
Why do they all have weird accents?.
Kalan has an accent, but it's nothing like their's.
Not even Isaac spoke like they did.
"Does it matter Lionel, she's not going to be here tomorrow".
Kill me now Mother.
I beg you, I know you can hear me.
Please do me this one favor and end it right here.
My legs can't even find their strengths to move, I felt so tied to where I was standing. Legs bare, a shirt hanging off of me, riding just at my thigh, they think I'm one of Kalan's girls.
Ugh!.
How many girls has he taken here!?.
The sound of a door slamming shut was heard and that familiar scent greeted me, the air suddenly shifted to confusion and then sudden death, I could literally feel the death hanging in the air.
"Why are you all standing.....", came Lauren's voice trailing off, "shit" she says before someone pulled me away by my wrists.
Language.
"I see no one has the decency of respect around here anymore", Kalan.
That cold and chilling voice sounded throughout the room.
I don't remove my hands from my eyes but I could feel someone's back against them, no one had to tell me it was Kalan, he was tall but I've stood behind like once, but I have a good memory.
"Oh come on Kal, what's so special about this one?".
"You've got to be kidding me, how low are you mutts?" Lauren asks in disgust.
"As low as you'd like to think sweetheart".
Okay Mother, I've learned my lesson, take me home.
"Asher" Kalan speaks up through gritted teeth, "is this anyway to treat your Luna?" he asks so calmly.
I could sense the slight annoyance in his voice and the way he was holding back his rage, impressive.
"That's....that's the Luna?"
"Ha!" Isaac laughs out.
He really set them up, I like him. No wait, he could have saved me the embarrassment of being smothered by these guys but he didn't.
"Adeena, it's okay, you can open your eyes" Lauren assures but I refuse to.
I was swept up off of my feet in a matter of seconds, I still didn't remove my hands, I didn't want to see anyone or anything right now. I'm lucky enough to have been born a daughter to the Moon Goddess, but I'm not lucky enough to be saved from prying eyes of hungry boy wolves.
"Adeena" Kalan says softly, placing me down onto the bed to sit.
That's the first time he's said my name since we've met, he barely spoke to me before this.
I hear the door close and I peek through my fingers, when I realized it was safe I put my hands down and sighed.
"Are you alright?" Kalan asks leaning against the door, his arms crossed as he looked over at me.
He looked so smug in his grey t-shirt and skin tight jeans, only rips in them are on the knees and I would be lying if I said he didn't look good. I've only seen people wear clothes like this whenever my family and I go out to visit, at the Palace it's strictly prohibited to wear clothes such as those.
His midnight hair was neatly combed, lighting his blue eyes as he watched me intently.
Am I alright?.
"Are you seriously asking me that question?" I ask in disbelief.
His face held a mixture of unsurity and seriousness in one, it's like he was carved specifically to upset me with his facial expressions.
"Your little puppies almost ate me up, and you're asking if I'm alright", scoffing, I crossed my arms and looked away from him.
Okay, go spoiled princess.
"Maybe if you hadn't went downstairs looking like that, then they wouldn't have tried to" he bites back, causing my head to snap at him.
"Oh, and how exactly do I look Alpha?" I ask standing up. "Maybe if you hadn't brought all those other girls here then maybe they would have had a little bit more respect, so don't try making up excuses such as that one" I say walking up to him.
His eyes watched me as I walked closer, I swore his eyes changed to a shade of black before he blinked it away.
"Just because you're my mate does not mean you get to speak to me like that" he says just as I stop before him, challenging him. "I can reject you at anytime if you aggravate me Adeena" he says trying to stand his ground.
"I asked you a question, didn't I?" I ask trying to see how far I can push him. "I have no other clothes that I can wear here, so judge my wardrobe however you want, doesn't make me feel any less of a person, but you on the other hand Alpha-...".
My words were cut off by a gasp leaving my mouth, my back hit the door with Kalan gripping my neck and growling, not enough to hurt me, but definitely not even to scare me.
"You look like a fucking sin Adeena" he growls causing a small yelp to escape my lips as I stared up at him in shock, "I've committed enough in my lifetime and I'm not ready to fuck you senseless just yet, so to put my mind at ease I asked my sister to buy some clothes for you, take a shower and get dressed in something....." he trails off letting his eyes rake over my figure.
"More fitting" he finishes opening the door.
With my legs weak, I leave as fast as I could.
That's the second time today I was lost for words, and something tells me I should stay very far away from Kalan. No one has very spoken to me in that manner before, the worst part about it is that I wasn't scared.
And that's the scariest part.
Adeena's P.O.V"Are you sure this is okay?" I ask Lauren and Valerie.Kalan's other sister was already inside my room waiting with tons of shopping bags filled with clothes and shoes. Valerie, she and I are the same age, she's a splitting image of Kalan, the black hair and the blue eyes, they have that part checked.Lauren was brunette, she said it was from her mother, the other two got their looks from their father, I think I've met him once when I was younger, never got a good vibe and my parents asked me to stay away from him when he came around."Oh my goodness, you look so cute!" Lauren beams clapping her hands together."Really?" I ask nerv
Adeena's P.O.VA lot of voices were heard coming from downstairs as I exit my room, I haven't slept one bit since I came back from shopping with Valerie two days ago.I don't know why body won't allow me to sleep, maybe because I wasn't sleeping in that big comfortable bed down the hall, I kind of knew it was Kalan's room but he had the most amazing bed, and the pillows were so huge and soft.He hasn't said anything about me sleeping there the other night.I wonder where he slept that night.I slept peacefully, it was the best sleep I had in years, literally in years. It was as if I was missing something and I finally found it.Just pure blissful sleeping all night long, wrapped under warm covers and hugging pillows, yeah, I could sleep there again.I walk into the living room not expecting an entire pack meeting going on. Everyone was talking all at once, Isaac was trying to calm them down and Kalan was nowhere in si
Adeena's P.O.VI didn't think I'd be tiptoeing into a guy's room. But here I am, tiptoeing down the hallway and to Kalan's room.I didn't hear him come home, I'm guessing he's still out and about. Isaac and the girls were still downstairs watching movies on that thingy they call a television, I've honestly never seen one up close, I've heard about them but never seen one.My parents are very strict and high classed people, we don't have those in the Moon Kingdom, I'd be surprised if we finally moved into life of modern technology. Not that we don't have a few modern items, but we don't have gadgets such as the phone, laptop, television, none of those.Just books, a never ending library of books, and if that wasn't eno
Adeena's P.O.V"I have been calling you all day!" Valerie panics, walking into the room.I was seated on the floor, with a candle lit and my journal in hand. She paused and looked around curiously before closing the door and walking closer to me."I haven't really mastered the art of using your kind of technology" I answer putting my journal down and closing it."Whole point of me buying it for you, so you can learn" she exasperated throwing herself down onto my bed. "What're you doing anyway, what kind of spell are you working on?" she mumbles.She kind of saw me levitating a piece of bread over to me once, I had to explain my abilities and she suprisingly took it w
Adeena's P.O.V"What are you doing here?" Noah asks upon seeing me inside the palace library.I might have sneeked in using the vines from my garden, I didn't want to risk my parents seeing me come in. I'm not supposed to be back here, especially without consent. But I needed to know what was going on with Kalan, I needed to know what was going in inside his head.At some times, he can be quiet and just give me eyes and other times he's mean, he keeps threatening to reject me, not that I would necessarily care, there's a lot that I could do without the burden of taking care of him or his pack."Looking for something" I answer closing another book and putting it back onto the shelf.
Kalan's P.O.V"The full moon comes up tonight, and there's no sign of Adeena" Isaac announced, walking into my office."I know" I sighed leaning back into the chair. "I can't even get a sniff of her anywhere other than inside her room" I tell him.I feel bad about what I said to her, I shouldn't have said it but that's what happens when I've been perplexed, I take it out on anyone I can and Adeena just happens to upset me for no reason.I don't mean to lash out on the one's around me but it happens and then I have to face the consequences. When Adeena said I wasn't worth it, that was the first time I felt genuine hurt in a long time, I never want her to think I'm not worth it.
Adeena's P.O.VI really thought everything would be fine by the time I woke up in the morning, but it wasn't.Noah tried her best to help me sleep longer but it didn't work, so now I'm on the floor again, crying and groaning in pain.How could my own mother do this to me?.And Kalan was supposed to teach me everything but he's always busy doing something.He was supposed to tell me what I should expect, rather, what I should prepare for.I couldn't do this on my own, and my sisters don't know what to do either. They're both just inside my room looking at me, in hopes that everything will be over soon.
Adeena's P.O.VThe smell of bacon woke me from my sleep, my stomach instantly growled in hunger and I open my eyes slowly.I was met with a very high and dark ceiling, confused, I tried to sit up but a sharp pain in my head humbled my actions.Wincing, I held my head and tried again. This time, I was successful, I sat up and ran my fingers through my hair, it was tangled, felt like it was in its worst state.Fingers.Hair.I'm me again.To make sure my theory was correct, I looked down at my body, I was met with an oversized sweatshirt and some shorts covering me.
Adeena's P.O.VThe feeling of a warm cloth being placed on my forehead woke me up. My eyes opened slowly and I heave a sigh, taking in my surroundings carefully.I felt sick to my stomach as I lay there still trying to process everything that had happened."Luna" Alison's voice sounds from next to me. "You're awake" she says in relief."What happened?" I questioned turning my head to look at her.Her face held pure relief as she removed the cloth from my forehead to answer my question. Alison and I aren't really friends but she's always here, I think I can consider her my friend."I'm not sure, you blacked out three hours ago in hallway" she replies."Where's Kalan?""He went to get Collin, said he'll be back soon"Collin, why would he-......Collin!.Oh no, I hope he's okay.I had no idea we were that deeply connected to the point I could see and feel what he was going through, I'm not sure exactly what it was but I know it was nothing good.Alison helped me out of bed and to the bat
Adeena's P.O.V"Isaac, have you seen Kalan?" I ask walking outside of the house.I haven't been outside in a few days due to my personal issues, I haven't seen Kalan in two days. I guess I should be used to him going missing once in a while but I'm not.I always want to know where he is.What if something happens to him?.I can die also."He's gone to Lauren's school, she had a small presentation today" Isaac replies after realizing I was the one who asked him the question.He was standing outside talking to some men, who looked as though they were warrior wolves, but also looked peaceful. You can tell the ones who are rebellious and the ones who aren't.The ones back at our other pack were obviously rebellious, but Kalan treated them as he treated Isaac."Why didn't he tell me?" I ask staring off into the distance."He'll be back in an hour, come here and I want you to meet someone" he replies beckoning for me to come down to him.I stand next to Isaac, watching the men as they bowed
Kalan's P.O.VMy alarm finally starts going off, I've been laying here wide awake just waiting for it. I don't have anything important planned for the day, I can just stay with Adeena, we'll be home alone anyway.I turn the alarm off and sat up in bed, rubbing my eyes to rid the tiredness. Ever since yesterday I've felt drained, as before there was a pull on my emotions, Adeena was the only reason I felt this way, she hasn't even woken up since she fell asleep on me.Now she was sound asleep on my pillow, we shared one pillow, I couldn't move her away from me in fear she might wake up, I was actually more comfortable than tired when laying so close to her.'Kal, are you up?'Confused, I turn to look at Adeena, she was still sleeping. How is she mind linking me when she's asleep and how did she know how to do that?.'I'm up, what's wrong?''I'm hungry'"Really Adeena, you couldn't open your eyes to tell me that?" I ask in disbelief.'I'm still sleeping remember'"What should I make?",
Kalan's P.O.VThe rain continues to shower down, trapping us inside the house for just a few hours. I woke up to the light patters on the roof and didn't think much of it, then Adeena woken up and showers came down, literally just as she woke up it started raining harder.It made some sense, she woke up in a very irritated mood, she was meaner than usual. This morning I said she looked tired and she threw a pillow at me, with so much force I wasn't even able to dodge it, it's been two hours and I haven't spoken to her."Where's Adeena?" Isaac asks concerned, looking around the room.He came over earlier than expected for me to help with some papers, I didn't mind because I could use the distraction."Upstairs" I answer monotonously, leaving no room for anymore questions but he just had to ask me something else."Didn't you make her breakfast?" he asks seeing that the kitchen was cleaned."Oh, she's not hungry" I shrugged off. "She hasn't been feeling herself lately"."She's not pregn
Adeena's P.O.V"Why is this place so full of life?" I ask Isaac once we arrived to the pack house in the Crescent Moon pack."No idea, honestly the Alpha is way more preferred here" he answers with a shrug.I take his answer with a nod, we arrived at the pack in just four hours, I was not expecting the place to be so full of life and laughter. Everyone we had driven by was overjoyed to see Kalan, even if they couldn't see inside the car as I was informed earlier. They were very happy to see him.The pack house was different from the Nexus pack, it was just in the pack, it blended in perfectly, except it was a lot bigger than most of the other houses. I've never seen a place so lively before.
Kalan's P.O.VI have been listening to my mother insulting Adeena for almost an hour, I don't know how she found out what happened but she did. All she's been telling me is to get rid of her, I try not to disrespect my Mom, but sometimes she doesn't know when to quit."I bet if she knew just who she was insulting, she would shut up" Isaac snorts."That's why I don't bother saying anything, let her dig her own grave and later she will be the one to lay in it" I respond watching as my Mom and Valerie started to argue about her choice of words and her ridiculous statements."I might have some bad news" Isaac says so casually, making me look at him with a raised eyebrow. "Yeah, our little prisoner died"
Adeena's P.O.VAll I could hear was my heart, thudding against my chest as I tried to stay hidden behind a tree. Had I not followed my own mind and went out to see the pack, I wouldn't have gotten caught up in this mess.The man had shifted into a wolf right before my eyes and started to chase me, at first I stood there in shock before I really understood what was happening.Everyone seemed to mind their own business when he started to chase after me, how selfless of them. It's like they didn't even care that I could die if he catches up to me.I ran as far as I could then I went into the woods, not without getting caught by some thorns, ripping the sleeve of my hoodie, scratching my arm
Adeena's P.O.V"What're you doing?" I ask Lauren, seeing her with a couple of books open along with some papers.She was seated on floor, cross legged with her head propped up by her hands. I'm guessing it was past midnight, she was inside her room for the entire day, I haven't seen her at all yesterday."Oh" Lauren says in a bit of shock, "I have a test tomorrow, so I'm hitting the books" she fake cheers."Oh, may I ask what kind of test?" I ask confused, don't get me wrong, I still have little idea about what they do here."History and Geography" she replies passing me a piece of paper with a few others attached to it, I take it slowly to ins
Adeena's P.O.VWhy did I think Kalan's mother would be gone by morning?.She was in fact, inside the kitchen at this current moment, by the stove doing who knows what. I walked in thinking it would be Isaac making breakfast but it wasn't.My usual bacon and eggs was replaced with something else, something I wasn't used to and definitely something I wouldn't try.I will tolerate her for as long as I need to, while trying my best not to slice her head off with a snap of my fingers."Hey" Kalan chimes behind me, wrapping his arms around me and kissing my cheek. "How do you feel?" he asks resting his chin on my shoulder.
