“Gosh, Lily!” Maya shouted.
If only I had just remained the timid and naïve person I always was, I could’ve gotten out of this by cowering in fear then later crying my eyes out in secret as always. Wow, Lily. Such a wrong time to finally be bold after Eighteen years!‘I’m sure we can find a way out of it.’ She consoled me. But before we had further conversation, the gates automatically separated, revealing Alpha Xander with a furious look on his face. Beside him was the Omega Female of the novel: Anna.Anna? I was definitely not mistaken. She looked exactly like I had pictured her according to the novel description. But what’s she doing here?I couldn’t help wondering. In the original novel, she and Alpha shouldn’t have known each other yet at the time of Lisa cheating on Alpha Xander.‘Why are you so surprised about this?’ Maya asked me. ‘Lisa, who gets away with the cheating in the novel, but now, you made her end up with a coming trial in public. Maybe due to the changes you made, it made Anna get to know Alpha Xander early?’ She shrugged.They both started heading to me. Xander’s steps were much heavier and resonated through the room. He had his hands locked behind him and a never-leaving glare was present on his face.Ignoring his pissed look, I focused on Anna— the character I always liked reading in the book.I smiled but before I could say hello to her, Anna started, “I know you didn’t do it.” She asserted.What’s going on? What did she mean? Did she know the truth about me? Was she a book-traveler as well? My eyes widened at her. “I don’t—”“Proceed.” Alpha Xander cut me off.“While I was cleaning, I saw someone put something in Lisa’s wine last night. At that time, I didn’t pay attention to it, I just assumed she was aware of it or it was one of these medications to boost your health or beauty. But now that Lisa’s cheating is known by everyone in the pack,” she glanced at me, “I suspect that someone framed you and I've come here to testify. I don’t know whatever he added, but I’m certain that the person did it with ulterior motives against you.”I was lost on what to say. I had no memory of all that or what happened before waking up here, so I wasn’t sure if I was framed or not.I was quite disappointed that she wasn’t a book-traveler as well but looking at Anna’s upright and determined appearance, I was very moved by her kindness and suddenly felt that this world-travel had a bright side to it, a side that many readers wished to experience: I could finally meet the character I really liked in real life.Alpha seemed to be deep in thoughts, obviously related to what Anna had just said. He rushed out of the room, apparently to verify the truth.It made my shoulders sag in relief that there was a ray of hope that I could be saved from this terrible mess.Now that he had left, Anna and I were alone in the room. I locked my eyes with hers and noticed she had a warm smile on. She looked extremely beautiful, even more beautiful than I imagined.“Hello,” I waved at her, returning her smile.“Hi.” Her smile extended to a grin and she stepped closer, intertwining her fingers in front of her. “I’m Anna. I’m an omega here. I doubt if you’ll know me since I’m really—”“I know you.” I interrupted her, feeling a strange excitement coursing through me.“Wow, that’s great!”“Yes, it is. Thank you so much for testifying to save me.” I was genuinely grateful for that.“No, it’s nothing. Don’t embarrass me by thanking me.” She chuckled and I chuckled too.I knew that in order to go back, I had to be Anna’s wingman to make things quicker. “Do you want to be friends?”She looked taken aback by my question at first. A smile slowly formed on her face and she nodded. “Yes! Absolutely! I’ve waited to hear those words my whole life!”“Really?” I smiled in relief, glad she didn’t say ‘no’ because she was shy and wanted to be on her own.“Being an omega here can be so tiresome. No one ever wants to talk to me or be my friend, so I’m very delighted that you’re willing to be my friend.” She was almost bouncing on her toes. “I’ve never felt this happy my whole life.”I chuckled, feeling proud that my favorite character was this happy to be my friend, though it wasn’t exactly me.“So… tell me about anything you’d like to chat with a friend about.” I leaned forward, crossing one of my legs over the other.“Sure!...” She started talking about random activities. Some of them were funny and others made me feel bad about the way she was treated. But in all, I could relate to her so well.Anna was really lovely and as we talked for long, we soon felt like we’ve been friends since childhood.I also noticed that anytime we talked about anything that had to do with Xander, she suddenly started acting strange.“Now, spill it to me.” I said.“Uh?”“What’s on your mind? Anytime we talk about Xander, you’re either acting nervous or blushing like a tomato. What’s going on?” I teased, wiggling my eyebrows at her.“Well…” she fiddled with her fingers, staring at everything else except me. “I don’t want to seem terrible to you, but I’ve had a crush on Alpha Xander for a really long time now.” She admitted shyly.“Really?!” I exclaimed. That was sooner than I thought. “That’s great news!”“It is?” she quirked an eyebrow at me.“Yes!” I held her hands. “Please, in everything you do, make sure to win his heart.”“Wh-what do you mean?” she slowly slipped her hands out of my grip, her forehead furrowed in confusion. “He’s your mate and your fiancé. I’ll feel terrible to pursue someone else’s mate.”‘Oh, here we go again. Tell her the truth about Lisa.’ Maya said in my head. ‘We’ll have to be Anna’s sidekick on this. She clearly needs our support to win his heart since she’s an omega.’‘You’re right, Maya.’‘So it’s a conclusion, we're helping her out!’ She smirked.“Anna… can I tell you a secret?”“Sure?” She narrowed her eyes at me.“I’m not actually Alpha Xander’s mate. I lied to him since he can’t sense his mate, but I’m no longer interested in him. We’ll break up very soon, so don’t be bothered about our relationship. We’ll focus on building your relationship with him.”“Wow, that’s great news!” her eyes popped with excitement. “So how do we start? He barely even pays attention to my existence.”Maya came up with a cool suggestion on how to win Xander’s heart and just when I was about to explain it to Anna, the door burst open and Alpha Xander stepped in.His face was twisted more than previously into a harder frown as he charged towards me. Did he just hear me saying I faked to be his mate?Anna stated her observation regarding someone spiking Lisa’s wine and the possibility that she could’ve been framed. I actually didn’t believe her. Lisa could've paid her a huge sum of money to lie. ‘Brian, head over to my office. I’ll meet up with you there.’ I mind-linked Brian. ‘Okay, Alpha!’ He ended the link. I scurried to my office and Brian was already in it. I nodded, appreciating his hastiness.“What’s the problem?” he asked, shoving his hands into his pants’ pockets. “It’s regarding Lisa. An omega just testified that someone added something to Lisa's wine, so there’s a possibility she could’ve been framed. I need you to look into this and gather evidence.” “Okay.” Brain answered, but he seemed to be reluctant.“What?” I questioned.“You need to look at this.” Brain said, handing some materials to me. “In fact, after the scandal, many of the pack members had reached out to me to reveal a Lisa you never knew.”I opened the files he gave me and it contained reports from pa
My eyes widened and I slowly lifted my gaze to lock my eyes with his and he looked equally astonished.“Mates?” I wondered aloud, hoping and praying I heard that wrongly. How could we be mates? This didn't happen in the novel. Anna and Xander were supposed to find out they were mates a few chapters after this.'I just overheard that you lied to me about being mates.’ He said in the strange mind link, a frown etched on his facial features.‘That was true, but how…. Maya, what’s going on?’ I asked. However, Maya had become so lost in the link and had approached Max, already so close to him.They stopped in front of each other and howled, as if communicating in wolf’s way; their communication continued in a language we didn’t understand.They seemed to be extremely excited about what they were chatting to each other about because they were laughing and howling like loud noises in my head.‘How is this happening? What do we do?’ I asked Xander instead, since Maya was clearly too distracte
Chapter 9: Lily POV His face contorted at how I was clutching onto him. When I began to feel a strange connection in our mind, I quickly pulled away from him and muttered a quick, “sorry.” He seemed reluctant to respond to my request and attempted to continue moving. “Please.” I begged, hoping he heard the desperation in my voice. "This place is too dark and…" I glanced around. He hesitated before he said, “I’ll send Brian to guard you home.”As far as I remembered from the book, Brian was the beta. I nodded with an appreciative smile resting on my lips. “Thank you.” He turned around and exited the room while I headed back to sit on the chair, waiting for the Beta. It took a while till another man, almost as hefty and tall as Xander strolled in. His face was stern, an unyielding fierce look plastered on it. Was this the Beta? He looked like someone that wanted to kill me, judging by the ferocious and pissed off look in his dark eyes. He was glaring deep into me like he wanted to
Walking down the hallway, I tried to hide my face in the hood of my hoodie with my hands tucked into its pocket. Of course, that didn’t help in hiding my identity as two girls walked by either of my sides, intentionally hitting me really hard with their shoulders and giggling as they sauntered away. I lifted my head when I got to my locker and opened it, tossing a few of my books into it. As I was about to shut my locker, my gaze caught my reflection in the mirror; my amber eyes looked as tired as always but there was something sticky lurching around a few strands of my dark brown hair. I lifted the strands of hair and noticed a ball of chewed gums around it. Damn, must be the two girls who hitted me. With my face puckered, I picked my scissors and cut it off my strands. “I can’t wait to graduate from this stupid school.” That's something I'd never have said a couple of months back: I had saved a lot of money for so many years in order to be admitted into my dream High school, onl
Chapter 2: Lily POVLisa White? That was obviously the name of the villainess in the novel. Why did he call me Lisa White? Why was he mad at me? Why was I here? I was Lisa White? What nonsense?!Before I could react, the handsome man stormed to me and stopped in front of me. When he glared down at my body, I realized I had let go of the duvet that previously covered my naked chest, then his gaze traveled to the naked man next to me who was also as quiet as I was.The hot piece of sexy figure standing in front of me drew his lips into a snarl as his gaze bore into me, his green eyes that almost looked like emeralds were flashing with rage. “How dare you cheat on me?” He repeated, his thick voice vibrated into my ears and sent a shiver down my spine. His voice sounded as sexy as he looked.I immediately felt wobbly under his intimidating stare and ducked my head in embarrassment. I observed his hands ball into tight fists and swallowed against the lump in my throat.“ Answer!” he ordere
Chapter 3: Lily POVAlpha Xander stood there, still at my words. He was clearly not expecting it. His body slowly retreated from mine and he peered at me like the creepy man did earlier— as if I had gone mad. Of course, his reaction was justified because Lisa in the book could never admit boldly to cheating on him but there was a reason for my bold and fearless provocation: In the novel, before the omega Anna meets Alpha Xander, Xander had caught his mate, Lisa, cheating on him, as the current scene in this dream. However, Lisa, being the malicious but sly villainess, was able to maneuver her way into Xander’s head by pretending to be innocent and pathetic; she had managed to convince him and let it slide that time. I was definitely pissed off when I read the scene. “Yes, I cheated on you, so what?” I repeated, placing a stress on ‘so what’ and crossed my arms over my chest, awaiting his next reaction. Now that I was seemingly acting the role of Lisa, there was no way I was going
Chapter 4: Xander’s POVKnown as the cruelest and strongest Alpha that ever lives, my only blemish was that when I was a kid, I had lost the ability to recognize my mate because I was poisoned, so I was unable to sense her. I thought I was never going to find my mate but fortunately, my mate appeared at a very young age and she was my best friend’s sister, Lisa White. She liked me since she was little and when she turned Eighteen, sure enough, she found out that I was her mate. Due to the poison, I couldn’t feel the bond but considering her devotion and loyalty to me since I was a kid, I was compelled to accept her. My gaze caught with the frame of a photo of my late best friend, Derek and I and the familiar pang in my heart was present once again. Derek and I were very close friends and he was preparing to be my Beta, but unfortunately, my pack had experienced war against threatening rogues. The rogues had manipulated their way against what we planned and we’re able to attack a
Why couldn’t I tell Xander about the novel? What the hell was happening? My breath had quickened and my heart was thumping harsher against my rib cage. “Wh-where are you…you taking me?” I stuttered. He turned deaf to my question and just tugged my hands harshly. He pulled me for a long time until we entered a strange Dark room, where there was only a chair in the middle. “Stay here.” He pushed me onto the chair and left.“Wait,” I called out, running after him, but the moment he stepped out, a large iron gate landed from above to separate me from the exit. I flinched, staring up from where it had landed. Realizing he was not coming back, I dropped to sit on the floor with my back against the gate. My eyes roamed over the empty room. Aside from the chair, there were stacks of wood around and holes on the wall for ventilation. A stroke of fear started to grow in my heart, this place is horrifying and I’m now locked up. All of this feels too real.“I know none of this makes sense an
