NARAH'S POVAs we drove to Alpha Van’s home in a jet black SUV, I felt my heart pounding out of my chest. I was sitting next to Gina who kept stealing glances at me, every chance she got.She had left her friends at the Café on Alpha Van's orders, so they could take me to their abode.Van was sitting at the shotgun seat, not minding us at the back seat. He had his eyes fixed on the road, but twice, from the side mirror, I caught them flickering towards my direction, sending bolts of electricity through my bones.What was that? That feeling I got when I felt his eyes on me? Fate must be playing some kind of cruel joke on me after all, I thought.A couple of weeks ago, I was just an ordinary girl from a small town far away from here. I pinched my left arm and cursed underneath my breath. Deep down, I wished I had never regained the memories of my past life.“We're here.” Van's voice broke the deafening silence that once engulfed the vehicle's cabin.The gates opened wide the minute we t
ALPHA VAN'S POV(Flashback)Her grey curls and elegant presence clouded my mind, and everyone in the clearing seemed to have faded away, leaving just the two of us. My eyes stared dreamily at her.I was drawn to her. I longed for her in a way that was new to me, a way that made everything else irrelevant.My hands swiftly came out of my trouser’s pocket and nervously adjusted my tie, trying to compose myself and make me look presentable.“Mate, that's our mate, Van. That's our mate. We don't look further no more, here she is.” Curtis bubbled over with excitement, “After a hard long searches, we finally found mate.“Easy there, Curtis. Easy,” I hissed at my wolf, urging him to keep calm.She was not just a chosen mate, but a fated mate. She was ordained for me by the moon goddess, and I knew it the minute I set my eyes upon her. Her scent lingered like a ghost in my mind.She walked up to me, and her piercing blue eyes casted its gaze into mine like a gentle caress. I felt an undeniable
NARAH'S POVThe loud argument in the dining room kept everyone busy, they didn't even notice I had been standing there for a couple of minutes. My hands were fidgeting, and in the cool atmosphere, I began to feel sweat dripping down my forehead. What is Luna Tauriel doing here? I thought. She was pointing her finger at a handsome man who resembled Alpha Van, screaming, “I can come here whenever I wish. It's my daughter's home too.” I pursed my lips and fixed my gaze on her as memories of how she treated me in my past life flashed before my eyes. The big bad wolf was a name Minsi used to call her. I subconsciously giggled over the memory.My anxiety skyrocketed out the ceiling when all eyes at the dining table turned to me. Their gaze burned my skin like hot coal, melting my confidence away.I shot one quick look around the table. F**k! An empty seat right next to Luna Tauriel. Just what I needed! “Hi,” I said, waving my hand in the air awkwardly. My nervous feet managed to take me
NARAH'S POV:Luna Tauriel’s anger was evaporating into the atmosphere, seeping through the cool air and right into my pores. I was beginning to get a little annoyed, so I rolled my eyes, and asked nonchalantly,“What do you want?” “Do you know who you're talking to, you insolent child?” she said angrily. The sweet scent of Vanilla fragranced hand cream enveloped my nose, and with a deafening sound, her palms swiftly collided with my left chek.SPAK!I was dumbfounded. I knew she was evil, but I didn't take her as a woman so wicked to hit someone she barely knew. What the hell was I thinking? Of course, she'd do that, because her daughter did the exact same thing the first day we met.“How dare you?” She asked, her nostrils flaring up like a bull. The only thing I could do was to hold one of my hands against my cheek to calm the pain from the slap.“I hate what I sense in you,” she continued. “Gina told me that's why she brought you here.” her hand snatched my right wrist. “And I'll
GINA'S POV(A few hours earlier, before the dinner)“Mom, I felt a strong aura around her,” I said to my mother on call, while I paced around my massive bedroom, worrying about what to do next.I needed to talk to someone, and my mother was my best friend, she was the only person I trusted. I had already explained how I met Narah, and now I just wanted to hear her opinion on the matter.Her voice reverberated through the other end of the line, sounding firm but worried, “Are you sure of that?”Yes, I am one hundred percent sure,” I raved. Across the room, my reflection caught me off guard. I stood in awe, admiring my body adorned in a colourful chiffon top, and a chic black mini skirt. I was the true definition of beauty.“Why were they looking at each other the way you described, what does that mean? My mother asked, pulling me back into reality.I grimaced at the thought of Van and Narah in the Café, and replied, “I really don't know what it is about, but one thing is for sure; ther
NARAH'S POVI clutched the bedsheets, my heart pounding like a bass drum, as I said to Alpha Van, “Your wife is here.”He turned his head, and his eyes landed squarely on the door, staring at it with anger. His jaw clenched, and his grip on my ankles loosened. I didn't want Gina to get the wrong idea, to think that I would go after her husband. Even though I didn't care what she thought of me, I wanted her not to see me this particular way.Alpha Van slowly and quietly walked to the door, as if he were giving his anger time to disappear. The next thing I knew, he flung the door open, and immediately, I heard Gina say,“What are you doing here?” “I should be asking you. Did your mother ask you to come here?” Alpha Van asked with disdain in his voice.There was no other person who saw Van and me except for Luna Tauriel, who had caused me to trip and sprain my ankle.“Nooooo,” Gina cried and let out a weak laugh. “My mother didn't ask me to come here. I came to call you because Doctor
NARAH'S POV (Two days later)It was a beautiful evening, and the sun was ready to set. It casted a warm orange glow across the pink, golden and bluish coloured clouds that covered the sky.I desperately wished to feel the sun on my skin, but thanks to Luna Tauriel, I was stuck now in a wheelchair, waiting for my ankle to heal.At least, I didn't have to start my maid duties until I recovered, that was a positive light to my situation.I looked from across the window in my room, admiring the vast green field when suddenly, a group of able-bodied men dressed in black leather jackets and pants, alongside women in leather jumpsuits, came flooding in.I could tell they were wolves of different ranks. They huddled together, chanting, “We are the mighty warriors of the Woodwick pack,” before howling excitedly, jumping, and dancing in circles.I'd forgotten what it was like to see warriors. But seeing them sent me back to the past, when my father would take little six-year-old me for a walk,
NARAH'S POVAt the end of the field, I saw Van and Gina approaching. They stopped close enough to watch what was going on, and behind them, stood the man I had been longing to see–Chris Stevens.“Are you going to walk or just stand there like a statue?” Said the warrior who challenged me. His name was Axton. He giggled when I attempted to take a step but fell back into my wheelchair.“What a joke. A lone wolf can never be a strong wolf,” he said, shaking his head.There was an odd expression in Katy's eye as she glared at me; it was a hint of disappointment.She walked away, and then turned, seeing that I was in pain and my feet were hurting. “Maybe I was wrong. You should take your time to heal,” she said.“Sorry, Narah,” Hanadin whispered to me, but I brushed his hands off my shoulder. I looked over to Van, who was watching me intently, and Gina, who wore a sinister grin, laughing at my defeat.My feet were still hurting, but I managed to stay strong. The wheelchair creaked behind m
