SEANIt's been a day, almost a week, but rather, it seemed like there wasn't much progress, and things weren't even getting any better. I thought of what to do and decided to just get a drink to cool my nerves.Clara– my sister, walked in and the sight of her around me only intensified my annoyance. She stared at me with a look of disappointment, pouring herself a glass of Hennessy.I ignored her, acting like she wasn't even there and her presence didn't matter. The last thing I needed was to get infuriated by her. She started quiet, and for a while, I appreciated it, happy that she hadn't distorted it with her talks.“You look pathetic! I don't think I've ever seen you this vulnerable before,” she commented.I cursed my luck just when I thought that she'd end up being humble or something, but it only ended up being worse. She kept ranting and ranting until I couldn't take it anymore.“Can you just shut the fuck up? I have a lot to think of here, and you aren't making things any bette
NOVA It's been two days and I haven't even seen a glimpse of Luther. He hasn't shown up for anything, and our introduction with his father is in just a few days, but yet he's absent, which makes things sadder for me.“Is His Majesty finally home?” I asked my maid— Irene, who was helping me make my hair.She looked up at me and we exchanged glances through the mirror. “No, he hasn't been home since yesterday. The last time I saw him was two days ago “I can't believe that it's just me who has no idea of his whereabouts. The fact that this might have to be how my life turned out to be was starting to creep me out.“You may go, Irene. I would take care of the rest,” I dismissed her, taking the brush from her.She looked at me with a perplexed look but just agreed to what I said. She dropped the remaining ingredients for my hair back on the shelf, gave me a small bow, and then turned to leave.I checked the time, realizing that it was almost eight pm and it would be time for dinner soon,
SEAN “Did you find any lead yet?” I asked Dean.He shook his head in response and I was feeling more frustrated. She was nowhere to be found and it didn't even make sense that I was being worried about her.I just didn't want people to start assuming the worst or pointing fingers at me like I had something to do with her disappearance. “So? What do you think happened to her?” He asked me.We've tried sending a letter to other packs while trying to keep everything low-key, but it wasn't even much help because they don't even have any leads on her.I took a deep breath and replied, “You can tell her father to fuck himself because I have no hands in her disappearance. Okay?”He looked a bit surprised by my outburst but dared not say anything, so he just nodded in response. “Yes, Alpha.”I turned to leave but was surprised to see Ava at the door. She looked very annoyed, her hands folded together and she gave me a look that indicated she had probably eavesdropped on us.“Sweetie. What a
NOVAI returned to my room, my heart beating fast. Why did he have to scare me like that? He didn't have to be harsh with me. I was doing him a favor by having to pretend to be like his girlfriend, and now he's being so mother fucking rude.I took a deep breath and started turning around. I just couldn't fall asleep, I thought about my pack and my family, even Sean. Everything was just so fucked up for me; things weren't as I thought they'd be.“Are you okay?” My wolf— Lia asked.I was feeling down. “What do you think is going on back at the pack? Do you think Dad is worried?” I asked. “Even Sean?...”There was no response from her.”Are you asleep?” I asked again, but there was no response from her. “Are you ignoring me on purpose?” I demanded to know.She scoffed. “Why are you still thinking about that mother fucker? Probably on a date with Ava, wishing you dead and here you are thinking about him?”Her statement was harsh but she was also being honest at the same time. “I talked abo
"Do you, Nova, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband and mate? Do you swear, in front of the Moon Goddess and the whole pack, that you will be the best possible mate your husband could ever ask for?"My smile was angelic as I nodded. "Yes", I said, my voice breathy. "I do."The Priest turned to Sean who. looked as handsome as he always did in his dark suit. "And do you, Beta Sean, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife and mate? Do you swear, in front of the Moon Goddess and the whole pack, that you will protect her and be the best possible mate she could ever wish for?"I smiled at Sean excitedly, already itching for the ceremony to be over so that he could lift my veil and kiss me. I could almost hear the mutters of jealousy from the pack females. Who would have thought the pack omega would be mated with someone from the Alpha's family? In addition to being extremely handsome, Sean was also charming and charismatic. No one in the pack didn't adore him. And he w
"Do you want me to stay with you tonight, honey?” My dad asked me, staring concernedly down at me. It seemed he had aged ten years in just a few hours. I shook my head woodenly, staring at the same spot on the wall I had been staring at since my eyes exhausted their supply of tears. "Are you sure?"Another nod. The Alpha's mother whispered something to him and finally, they both left, leaving me alone for the first time since the disaster that was my wedding. My face was blotchy, and my hair hung in tattered strands down my face. I had refused to get out of my wedding dress despite careful prompts from both my dad and the Alpha's mother. She had acted like I imagined my mother would, and that should have touched me, but in my current state, I didn't care. I waited for the click of the door that would signify that they had locked me in, but nothing came. I sat still, silently staring down at my nails. They had been ruined when I scratched at Sean. Despite my not having a wolf, I
I trudged back from the pack therapist's office, keeping my head low as I walked, hoping to avoid running into anyone. When Dad discovered me lying in a pool of my vomit this morning, he didn't know what to do, and seeing his expression shift between helplessness and anger made me feel even smaller. He mindlinked Josie (the Alpha's mother) and had her come stay with me in the bathroom as I washed myself. My wedding dress was finally ruined. It had caught most of the puke. I sat like a scolded child while they booked me a session with the pack therapist. A session where I'd sat staring into space until the hour was up. I knew the doctor would insist to my dad that I come for another session, but I couldn't care less. A woman asking me about my problems wasn't going to magically make the ache go away. A woman bumped into me as I walked, making me stumble slightly. I raised my head to see Cora smirking at me.Cora was my version of a bully. Beautiful and aloof, she had always found
My heart began to pound as I forced myself to walk calmly, breathing deeply to stabilize my heartbeat. One of the things I'd learned by living with wolves was that if they heard or saw any sign of weakness, they pounced. A speeding heart was a dead giveaway of how scared I was, and I quickly brought it under control, maintaining my brisk pace. I knew the nearest pack was miles away, but I was sure if I kept walking in one direction, I could meet something or someone. After just a few minutes of carrying my light suitcase, I began to regret bringing it with me. I knew I was being stalked. And if those wolves decided to give chase, running with a suitcase wouldn't help me - not that I was even fast enough to outrun a shifted werewolf. They would be upon me in a second. My best bet was to maintain my pace and pretend I didn't know I was being followed. I increased my pace when the first drizzles of rain hit my face and I heard the crunch of twigs being stepped on behind me. With a fe
