FELICIA Beta Andrew dragged me back into his bedroom. The moment he locked the door, my heart started pounding against my rib cage. Deep inside, I knew he wouldn't hurt me. But when my own family betrayed me, I couldn't hope for anything better by the man who took me in at my worst. I watched him clenching his fists, standing right before me. He didn't say anything. I wanted to tell him that it wasn't my fault but my tongue died in my mouth when I saw his eyes going red with anger. I watched him disappear in the bathroom. I couldn't think of anything good at that moment. Anger never did good to me. As I watched him rushing back to me, I closed my eyes and waited for him to hit me as well.I winced in pain when a warm damp towel was placed at the corner of my lip. I opened my eyes to look at him. He wasn't angry anymore. I saw guilt in his eyes as he gently patted the corner of my lip then my forehead that was bleeding. “Does it hurt so much?” He asked me in a low tone.I blinked a f
FELICIA I was in the market with Beta Andrew. As promised, he brought me to have ice cream. I got butterscotch ice cream while beta Andrew got himself classic vanilla. Beta Andrew was paying when I looked around us. People were staring at me. I turned around to hide in Beta's arms.“What's wrong, Felicia?” Beta Andrew asked me in a low tone. He was trying his best to deal with me. “People are watching. Can we go home?” I asked. I didn't want people to take pity on me. I didn't want them to look at my bruised face and feel sorry for me.“Let them watch, Felicious. I brought you outside with me after marking for the first time. Try to enjoy it.” Beta Andrew whispered. He held my hand and pulled me closer. It felt like I was suddenly at ease when he pulled me closer. “Wanna try it?” Beta Andrew asked me, offering me his cone. I smiled shyly and took a small bite.“How is it?” He asked me and I nodded my head.“It's good.” I replied.“Now, let me taste yours.” Beta Andrew asked me. I d
FELICIA We were in the basement of the mall. I had never come to that part of the mall. Beta Andrew pulled me toward a door. He pushed a button and we waited. After a minute, someone unlocked the door. “Ah! Beta Andrew. It's been a while. Come on in!” A man invited us in. He looked almost the same age as the beta or my father. Not to mention, Beta Andrew was merely a decade younger than my father.We went inside. He offered us to sit on a couch and offered us some refreshments. A can of coke for me and a can of beer for beta Andrew. “Now, tell me, Beta. How may I help you?” The man asked Beta Andrew.“Maximus, meet my mate, Felicia.” Beta Andrew introduced us. I nodded my head at Maximus. “Nice to finally meet you, Beta Woman. It's a shame, we are meeting this way. There weren't any ceremonies.” Maximus greeted me but then his argument was with Beta Andrew.“There will be. Once we get done with the peace summit, I will hold a ceremony for my mate, to introduce her to the pack. But r
FELICIA It was finally my father's birthday. Beta Andrew was getting ready, and so was I. Though, I was not ready to go. I just didn't want to. “Do I really have to go?” I asked him again, for the hundredth time. Beta Andrew sighed as he turned around. He cupped my face and looked into my eyes.“Why! Is there something wrong?” Beta Andrew asked me in a low tone. I knew he was worried about me.“It's just! I feel like something bad is going to happen to me if I go there. I know Rebecca is still there. I don't want her to stir up more trouble for me.” I replied to Beta Andrew's question honestly. “Do you trust me, Felicia?” Beta Andrew asked me in a low tone. I didn't even take a second to answer that. I was instantly nodding my head to him in response.“Then just trust me enough to know that I won't let anything happen to you. I will always be by yourself, not leaving for even a second. If you won't be alone, Rebecca won't find a way to trouble you in any way.” Beta Andrew whispered
FELICIA I was staring down at the void in front of me. I feared that if I didn't just die, Rebecca would show everything to Beta Andrew. He was the one person who cared about me. I never wanted him to see me as a slut. Only I knew what really happened to me that night. But Rebecca had this talent. To turn a lie into truth in front of everyone. She didn't even care that the next summit was in a few days. And it would hurt our father's reputation in front of the other alpha's and the king if she did that.Rebecca was a soulless person. She never cared about anyone else. I was standing at that same cliff. It had beautiful memories I made with Beta Andrew. My first hike, my first ever hunt, and someone who didn't let Rebecca destroy anything for me. I had taken the jewellery off and I placed it all in a handkerchief. I wiped my tears and closed my eyes. The last picture that appeared before my eyes was beta's. I wish I could have told him once how grateful I was for everything he did fo
FELICIA Beta Andrew walked toward me. I was eating a chocolate bar. After the sandwich, my eyes fell on my favorite chocolate bar and I wanted to have it. Beta Andrew stopped in front of me. I looked up at him and he laughed out loud, as if he had seen a clown. “Why are you laughing?” I asked Beta Andrew in a low tone.He swiped his index finger at the corner of my lips and showed me. “Your pretty face is covered with delicious chocolate, Felicious.” My cheeks burned as I heard him. “Don't judge, it's not available everywhere. And I am having it after a very long time.” I argued, pouting at him. Beta Andrew sat down on the same bench as me. He was staring at me while smiling.“Want some?” I offered, forwarding the chocolate toward him. I gasped when he suddenly came so close to my face with his tongue stuck out. He stopped merely an inch away from my face. I couldn't breathe. He looked at me, a mischievous smirk on his face. He opened his mouth wide and took a big bite off of my ch
FELICIA After a few minutes of quiet sobbing, I pulled away from him. He wiped my tears. “There must be some way to make you feel better. You can't hide from yourself forever, Felicia. I marked you and brought you home with me because I wanted you to get your life back.” Beta Andrew asked me, while wiping my tears.I shook my head, forcing a small smile on my face. “We can't do anything. Unless you know a way to make them…” I paused as another idea popped into my mind. My heart skipped a beat as it felt like it was the only way.“What? Tell me, what are you thinking?” He asked.“Unless, your marks cover those marks. Their venom would no longer be in my body. These marks would no longer disgust me.” I whispered, without looking at him. It was a ridiculous idea. No one has ever tried anything like that. I didn't even know the results of what I planned. I just wanted them to disappear so bad.“Would it make you feel better?” Beta Andrew asked me. I was lost in my thoughts for a while. T
FELICIA I was with Beta Andrew until he fell asleep. I was watching him sleep. I couldn't say if it was creepy. I mean, he was my mate. I could watch him sleep. Then I heard the doorbell ring. I covered Beta Andrew with a duvet so he wouldn't be either hot or cold. I ran downstairs and opened the door. My eyes widened when I found my father standing in front of the house. “Dad! I mean, alpha.” I respectfully bowed my head in front of him.“You can still call me dad. I am not a total monster.” My father spoke in a low tone. I nodded my head quietly. I held open the door for him. Dad walked in. He looked around the house in awe. “Did Andrew change the interior of the house?” My dad asked as he looked around. Of course, he came to visit last before Beta Andrew marked me. He knew nothing about the new interior of the house.“No, it was me. I changed it all. I was bored. He said do whatever you want with the house. So I cleaned it up and changed the interior with all the time I had in my
FELICIA My gaze travelled back and forth between the Alpha king and the staff he had in his hands. “Our mother Artemis's staff?” I asked him, amazed by the truth. The Alpha king smiled and nodded his head. “It was only welded by her in the battle again the rapists who had raped and murdered our women. The Moon goddess bestowed her with the power of moon to kill all of the murderers. Our mother Artemis welded in staff back then only.” The Alpha king replied, looking at the staff with admiration.Then he bent down, extending his hands toward me. With a confused look on my face, I looked up at him. “Take it.” He ordered and I smiled awkwardly.“I can't take it. I am nothing but a human. I don't have a wolf to hold onto something as sacrade like this staff.” I was nervous when rejecting the offer he made. But I knew my place. The Alpha king frowned and looked at my mate. “Yeah! She never got the chance to wake her wolf up. She had an accident. And I believe, her wolf gave up her life,
FELICIA Everything around me was dark. Darker than I could endure. “Andy!” I whimpered, terrified of my surroundings. I couldn't even see my own hands, it was this dark. Panic started rising in my chest. Being lonely in a kind of darkness where I couldn't even see my own hands, it reminded me of that night. “Andy??” I called out again, a little louder this time, and my voice was shaking.No one answered me. Then I felt something. Something warm and sticky in my hands. I couldn't see it so I brought it closer to my nose to smell it. The sharp metallic smell made me gag so bad. It almost felt like I had a big breakfast and I was about to throw it all out of my stomach.Tears started welling up in my eyes. I never wanted to experience that kind of helplessness ever again in my life. That was the reason why I agreed to go through the toughest training that Beta Andrew had to offer me. I just wanted to feel safe under my own skin. And the training helped me in ways. I was confident enough
FELICIA I wanted to get to Beta Andrew. But when I got to the banquet again, all the Betas and alphas were gathered in the corner. A bunch of rogues were standing above them. The alphas and their betas were kneeling on the ground and their hands were tied behind their backs. The rogues held silver daggers against the necks of all the women, including the Luna queen. I was the only woman left who wasn't contained in the corner by the rogues. They were rogues. Of course, I was terrified of their presence. But what scared me the most was watching my mate get hurt while I was hiding. I might be wolfless but I was trained as both an alpha and a luna. Then beta Andrew trained me as his warrior, a total picture of bravery and perfection. At the same time, I couldn't make any stupid moves. That could get everyone killed. And I was definitely supposed to avoid that. Especially when I had made a promise to a child, and my future king. Without anyone noticing, I crawled my way toward the stat
FELICIA The sudden blast left everyone in terror. My heart pounded against my rib cage. Beta Andrew stood before me to protect me. We watched as the king's half brother, Prince George, entered the royal banquet with his rogues. The doors were locked up. “What the hell are you doing, brother? This is a celebration of the birth of the Moon. You are not supposed to interrupt tonight's prayers.” King Johnathan spoke as if he was well aware of the intentions his half brother had.I blinked a few times, listening to someone struggling to breathe. I looked around and to my horror, I found king Johnathan’s son. He was sitting on the far corner. The blast had triggered his asthma. And he was struggling to breathe while too shocked and scared to even move a muscle. I wanted to go to him to help him. The poor kid was all alone. Everyone else was worried about their own lives. In that particular moment, I wished I had my wolf with me. To connect and communicate with Beta Andrew, tell him about
FELICIA I was standing in a towel, my arms wrapped above my chest. Beta Andrew was holding up two dresses for me. One was velvet red and the other one was silk black. Both were backless. Red velvet had a choker with a deep neck that'd show all half of my cleavage. And the other one had a sweetheart neck, to show off my cleavage. “I am not wearing either of those to that meeting. I don't want anyone else to see my cleavage.” I argued with my mate. A smirk appeared on his face. He threw the two dresses on the ground. Then he grabbed a jumper suit. It also had a little deep neck but the crop jacket with it would hide everything else. “Yeah! I'll wear it.” I replied. I was about to grab it when beta Andrew grabbed my hand and pulled me to his hard chest. “If we didn't have meeting later on, I would have fucked you again.” My cheeks burned and my breath hitched.“Let me go! I have to get ready. If we get late again, my dad will blame me again.” I shoved him away from me. Giggling, I ran
FELICIA I couldn't remember how many times I had orgasmed that night. I couldn't remember how many rounds he played. I was satisfied, as away. Beta Andrew was lying straight. While I was lying on top of his body. I was playing with the curls on his chest. “What's wrong? Why are you suddenly so depressed? I thought meeting with your brother would bring you happiness.” Beta Andrew asked me in a concerned tone.I looked up at him and sighed. “It's not that. I am happy that I was able to see my brother after a long time. And he said it'll take a while for him to come back home. So it's good that I met him.” I replied in a low tone. But he was right. I wasn't feeling fine.Beta Andrew sat upon the bed. I was on his lap. He engulfed me in his arms. He knew well how his hugs helped me calm down. “Then what is it! Tell me. Talk to me. I want to know everything that you think about, especially the matters that worry you.” Beta Andrew whispered in my ear, rocking me back and forth in his arms.
FELICIA I was sitting on the same bench. My brother had left once he was satisfied with all of my answers. After a while, I shifted my gaze back to earth. A wide smile spread across my face when my eyes met the man's gaze, who had captured my heart. Beta Andrew sat down on the bench with me. He spread one of his arms and draped it on my shoulders, pulling me closer to his chest.“How did it go? Did you guys talk?” I liked how he didn't ask me anything that my brother and I talked about.“It went well. He was asking me about everything that happened. He was worried about me. I reassured him that I am with you. And I am safe.” I replied to Beta Andrew in a calmed tone. He might haven't asked me anything, but I wanted him to know everything about me. I wanted no secrets in between us.I gasped when he suddenly pulled me closer to his tall figure. Before I knew it, I was on his lap. Beta Andrew leaned in, burying his face in the crock of my neck. “In that case, shall I have what you prom
FELICIA Pulling away, I looked at my brother with a confused look on my face. I was definitely not expecting him to know whatever I saw at Beta Andrew's home, at the beginning of our relationship. “You… you knew about… how?” I was unable to form proper sentences. I was just too shocked. My brother placed his hand on my head. The smile that appeared on my face, brought the feeling of home. It made me realize that it was him I was missing. I was missing my brother. “I am the future alpha of the pack. Of course, I know. I must know about Pack's troubles or how I can be the alpha.” he replied in a low tone while stroking my hair.I couldn't help but smile when I heard that. It was reassuring that I wasn't alone. That my brother would always have my back. We sat together in silence for a while. He didn't ask me any questions and I didn't have to tell him anything at all. It felt good to be with him.After a few minutes, when I looked at him, I found him staring at me. “What's wrong?” I a
FELICIA One second, I was all lovey dovey with Beta Andrew. And the next second, when I saw him, I was squealing loudly like a mad woman. The passer-bys were staring at me as if I had grown a pair of horns on my head, or I might have grown a mustache. But I didn't care. I had tears of happiness and excitement in my eyes. Yet, I didn't move a muscle. I turned to look at Beta Andrew, waiting for his permission.“Why are you looking at me like that? Just go! He's your brother, Felicia. I know how much you love him. I am not a stupid boy who would be jealous of your bond with your brother.” The smile on my face couldn't get wider. Or I would have ripped my lips. I jumped into his arms and kissed his cheek in excitement, not caring about anyone who might be watching us.Beta Andrew chuckled. He placed me down on the ground and patted my ass. “Go! He won't be back for a few more months, so you won't be seeing him for a while. I figured, you two can meet while we are here, at the capital.”
