Becoming the Alpha's Pawn Chapter Seventeen
"When do you want us to start working on a baby?". I can't help it. The piece of food that had been sliding down my throat regurgitates back aggressively. I have to cover my mouth in a desperate attempt to restore grace as I cough. It takes a while but I collect myself eventually. I reach for the glass of water and take a generous sip. When I look back at Draaven, he's staring at me emptily, as if he can't understand why his question caught me off guard, as if it's perfectly normal to throw questions like that around. "What???". I ask in disbelief. "Children? What's bringing this about?". He leans back on his chair and stares at me like I'm stupid. "The pack needs an heir, does it not?". "Well yes it does but…. it's way too early to discuss things like that". "It is? And why do you think so? Because this seems like the perfect time to me". He raises one shoulder in a nonchalant shrug. As he speaks I can see that he indeed sees absolutely nothing wrong with the situation or his que

The days go by in a blur and even more so now that I have something to look forward to. All too soon, it's one more week to the wedding. With each passing day in which it's not cancelled, I'm also learning to accept my fate. I don't know what miracle could happen at this point to be honest. But on the bright side, I get to see my family again. Everytime I think of them, my heart flutters in my throat. A day after our conversation, I was made to know that an invitation had been sent south to my mum and sister. It was at that point I considered the possibility of my father not allowing them come. But I know him. He wouldn't deprive me of that one piece of happiness in this desolate place I've found myself. The thought of seeing them again fills me with inexplicable happiness and even my outrageous lessons now seem more bearable.Today being the seventh day to the wedding is the day I meet the masses and receive gifts from them. I had been quite anxious when I was informed of this develo

My eyes drift open slowly and I realize the water has gone cold. Pushing up from the tub, I go under the shower and reach for the shampoo one more time, lathering my hair. This will be my third time washing up today and I still don't feel clean. I close my eyes and massage my scalp, the events of the day running through my mind in a loop for the umpteenth time. It still jolts me how an event went from 100 to 0 so quick. Embarrassed and covered in eggs, I had been more or less flown to the palanquin for shelter. As I glanced out the window as we began the journey back home, I had seen Trish anxiously talking to a gamma and right there behind her, standing where I left her was Eva, a barely concealed smirk on her face. That moment told me everything I already suspected.Regardless of everything, my heart still warms at the fact that majority of the people had actually been excited to see me. When I think of their cheers and excited faces, it reassures me that the situation isn't all tha

A low moan escapes my lips as he presses into me, his jutting erection butting against my inner thighs. His arms wrap tighter around my waist and he pulls me in closer, merging our bodies till I'm not sure where his stops and mine begins His velvety tongue slides into my mouth and I latch onto it greedily, desperate to get an even better taste of him. No man has had the kind of effect Draaven Ventura seems to have on me and I don't know how to feel about that.He pulls away, bringing down his head to drop the most gentle, feather light kisses along my body. I throw my head back as his lips make contact with my cheek first, then my jawline and down my neck. He darts his tongue across the sensitive skin and I feel myself shiver in response. The wetness pools in between my legs and in this moment, I just need him, consequences and all. I don't want to think about anything. He brushes his lips lightly against my shoulder and pulls on the sleeve of my robe gently, sliding it down. He part

Time passes by even faster now that the wedding is in sight. My days are filled with last minute activities, final fittings, adjustments, cake tastings and the likes such that by night, I'm too exhausted to spend much time thinking. When I do let my thoughts wander, I try to stay positive as I count the days, hours and minutes till my mum and sister arrive. After so long, the day is finally here. The day my family comes.I hop out of bed excitedly and rush to the mirror, peering at my face. Thankfully, it's not too swollen. Everything must go perfectly today, I can't afford to have anything ruin the day. Humming and skipping in my steps, I go to the bathroom, running a scalding hot water bath for myself. When that's done, I throw in my favorite bath bomb and add drops of my favorite oils before shrugging off my nightdress and slipping inside. My eyes close deliciously as the water welcomes me.Draaven hasn't communicated with me directly ever since the incident but he's sent different

They are here. They are finally here.My heart thumps in my chest as I speed through the hallway as fast as my heels will alow, drawing the attention of every single person around. If they didn't know my family was coming today, they definitely do now. My mum is stepping out of the car when I burst through the front door and when I see her, I'm hit with an overwhelming wave of emotions. Once again, I'm a child. I'm just a child who has missed her mother dearly."Mummmm!!!!". I don't care about who's watching, I run forward and throw myself into her arms. When her arms wrap around me, I feel the first lump of emotions settle in my throat. I really don't want to cry but I'm fighting a tough battle. She holds me tightly and I close my eyes and bury my face in her neck, inhaling her familiar scent that I've missed so much. I've met a fair number of Alpha-Luna offsprings from other packs and one thing a majority of them had in common was the fact that they didn't really share any closeness

I sit back quietly and watch my mum go around the room for the 4th, inspecting everything there is to inspect."Come on, mum. I really don't think there are any bugs". She nods to my words in affirmation but doesn't stop peering anxiously into anything that even remotely looks like it could contain a bug. I sigh softly and look away. At the far end of the room is Edna, positioned quietly, her eyes fixed on our interaction. This is how she's been since my family arrived, laid back so well she can easily be forgotten. But I know her mind and eyes are as alert as they come. I don't tell my mum that if anything is spying on her, it's probably the omega who hasn't left my side since she came. Trish had led them to their respective rooms, playing the warm and hospitable host I know she actually is. At some point, my mum, who's usually inclined to be more reserved and observant at a first interaction had even gotten comfortable enough to share a few jokes with her. And it was at that point

We don't see Draaven till evening when Trish informs me that he'll be having dinner with me and my family. I had tried to get my mind off day all day but it's hard to when all I feel is butterflies in the pit of my stomach. I slip the second earring through my earhole and take one last proper glance at myself in the mirror. I tell myself that it's not because Draaven is coming that the blush on my face has refused to go. I tell myself that it's not because he's coming that I spent over 20 minutes thinking of what to wear. I'm just trying to impress my mum…of course."Is everything ready?". I ask Edna. "Yes Luna. Dinner is ready". "What do you think?". I surprise myself by asking her, spinning around lightly for her to get a small look. Why do I care what she thinks? If she's surprised that I'm asking her opinion, she doesn't show it."I don't those earrings go well with the outfit. And I think you should wear a bracelet". For a full moment, I'm too stunned to speak. What did I expe

Becoming the Alpha's Pawn Chapter Eighty Nine
The war had been going on outside. Explosions were shaking the grounds of Shadowflame and I was in the armory issuing out more weapons when i had seen my mum rushing towards me. “Mumm!!!!”. I had screamed running towards her. “What are you doing here? You should be at the tower!!!!”. Her eyes had looked frenzied. “Come come”. She had grabbed my arm and pulled me towards a corner of the room. “Mum what's wrong?”. “You have to go to Silver Glow right now”. I had stared at her like she was crazy. Silver Glow? Why the hell would I ever go to Silver Glow, the territory of our long term enemies. “What are you talking about?”. “Valeria, listen to me”. She gripped my hands shakily, her eyes wide and panicked. “You need to listen to me. Go to Silver Glow and ask of the alpha, Draaven Ventura. Tell him I sent him to you”. “Mum those are the enemies. Why would they do anything to help you?”. “Just listen to me!!!!!”. She had yelled. “Just tell him I sent him to you, that the long time p
Becoming the Alpha's Pawn Chapter Eighty Eight
“Because you were my perfect revenge against your father”.I feel cold hearing the words from his mouth like this. “My father? What did my father do?”.“Valeria can we sit….”. “I'm not going to sit. I'm perfectly fine where I am”. He sighs again and runs his fingers through his thick hair.“I told you about Lilly….”. Adrian was right after all. It was about Lilly, it always has been. “....I didn't tell you the full truth. She left me…but she was taken first”. My knees really feel like jelly right now and I realize that maybe I do need to sit down after all. I hobble towards the nearest seat and settle into it. He reaches forward to aid me but I more or less swat his hand away. I don't need anything but the truth from his right now.“Tell me everything I need to know. From the beginning to the end”. He comes to settle down in the seat Adrian had been sitting on just earlier. And then he begins talking.“A couple of decades ago, Silver Glow was still ruled by the Fulstein clan”. Fulste

The first thing I think to myself as his words sink in me is ‘what the fuck is he talking about’. What pawn? What revenge game? I feel the dots are staring me right in the face and I can't just seem to connect them. The confusion must be evident on my face because right now, it's Adrian that's laughing and not me anymore.“She doesn't get it. She doesn't get it”. He doubles over and laughs like it's the funniest thing he has ever seen or heard. And I just look down at him, still unsure of what he's talking about. “You mentioned how I was a low dirt bag for using Edna, what you don't know if you were being used all along too. Not just by me. Ever wondered why Silver Glow and Shadowflame have never been friends despite not even being in the same territory? Ever wondered why Draaven didn't hesitate to marry you even though you were both of different worlds? I've heard tales of the time your father came here, ever wondered why he wasn't treated warmly by him? There have been so many clues

His eyes widen at my words and it's literally the funniest thing I've seen for a very long time. My laughter rings through the garden and I can tell that it's only pissing him off more. He lunges up from his seat and towards me, wrapping his fingers around my neck as he drags me up and slams me against the wall. I'm knocked out of air for just the slightest moment before I resume laughing. His face contours in anger as his grip tightens around my neck."The faster your....heart beats....". I choke out. ".....the faster the poison....works". His breath is still coming out fast but grudgingly, he releases my neck and focus on the task of regulating his breathing. I cough as the burning sensation fills my throat. "That wasn't a nice thing to do". I say breathlessly as I run my fingers over the sensitive skin on my neck he had been gripping. He doesn't say anything as he focuses on his breathing exercises. "Especially to someone who has your antidote". I stumble to my seat and reach for m
Becoming the Alpha's Pawn Chapter Eighty Five
When I wake up the next morning, I meet Draaven already dressing up for work. With a small serene smile on my face, I stay back on the bed and watch him as he obliviously goes around dressing up, totally unaware that I'm now awake. When he goes back into his closet to retrieve a piece of clothing, I get up fully naked and go to stand by the door for him. On his way back out, he's quite surprised to see me but I immediately see the reaction I have on him. His eyes rake over my entire body frame and I see the sly, naughty smile begin to settle on his face, indicating that he already has thoughts going through his head.“You are awake”. He says, his eyes lingering on my boobs. I do what I do intentionally and take several steps towards him till I'm standing directly in front of him. I lean in on my tiptoes and plants the most delicate kiss on his earlobe and just like an engine, he seems to have been turned on.“You can't drive me crazy like this when you are just waking up, my love”. A

I sit on the floor like that and cry my eyes out for the next thirty minutes at least. I only push up to my feet when my stomach growls noisily. I've not had anything to eat since morning. Washing the tear tracks on my face, I reach for my purse and make my way upstairs. I don't feel truly safe till the door to my room closes behind me. With a big sigh, I throw my bag onto the nearest furniture and make my way straight towards the bathroom, shedding off my clothes on the way. By the time I get there, I'm totally naked and I don't even wait for the bath to fill up before I lower myself into it. I run the tap onto my body and into the tub simultaneously, the sound of the water zoning me out.I take the coldest bath I can manage and throw on a comfortable pair of pants and a tank top. And then I settle down on my dining table and eat the meal that must have been brought into my room earlier. As I sit there alone, and as I eat, I realize that I feel even more alone than usual. I ignore th

The days go by in various shades of grey. Nothing seems to please me anymore and I'm not interested in doing a lot of things. In the days, I just try to occupy my time by immersing myself in work and in the nights, I go to bed early and cry myself to sleep. Draaven has come around a few times but if there's anywhere below a zero, that's exactly where my energy was. He seems to be worried about me but I just want to be left alone.It's only now that she's gone that I realize that there isn't much that I do without her. She's always present in my days and my activities, from the simplest tasks like getting my bath water ready to more complex things like sorting out my schedules and planning my days. I had thought I'd be able to do it on my own at first but each time I did it, I only realized how hard it was actually organizing a schedule. And I had gotten so frustrated that I had cried my eyes out again and damned Edna for leaving me all alone in this place. On most days, my dinners are
Becoming the Alpha's Pawn Chapter Eighty Two
Suddenly, it feels like a huge picture has been painted in front of me. And right now, everything seems to make sense a thousand times more.The deaths.Edna.Adrian.Me.It was all a big web woven by Adrian to trap all of us in. He manipulated and used Edna's feelings so he could in turn get to me. Everything is an interconnected web of plans….and right there at the end of it, supposedly the prize of the day is me. But to what end? During our few interactions, I personally don't think Adrian has ever shown more than the usual interest in me. This is all coming as one big surprise. How long has he been weaving this web? How long ago did all of this even start?“Oh….oh..my God…..”. That's all I can say as everything dawns on me. Edna looks at me with a small smile on her face. “You understand everything now, don't you?”. I do, I've never seen a clearer picture. I remember my mind going to Edna as Adrian had professed his so-called feelings. I had wondered to myself what exactly was ha
Becoming the Alpha's Pawn Chapter Eighty One
My breath hitches in my chest at her words but I make sure not to show too many emotions or express how deeply her words have surprised me. She takes another swig of her wine and sighs heavily.“I loved that bastard”. She says with a chuckle but I hear the pain in her voice. “And he damn well took advantage of that”. She goes back to being quiet and I wait for her to continue. When she doesn't, I realize I can't wait forever. I need answers now. So I begin some questioning of my own.“What happened? Tell me everything that happened between the both of you….and how exactly we landed here”. She lets out another sigh before talking.“We met shortly after he arrived. He was an asshole but….”. She chuckles and turns to me. “... y'know….back in the guild, they always told me something. Based off my dating history, they told me that I was always attracted to the scums of the earth”. She chuckles deeper. “I've proven them right once again”. I don't share in the laugh and when it dies down, sh
