PRECIOUS But as I opened the door, my mouth hung open as I took in the scene before me. There were red glowing roses decorated on the floor and its scents drifted into my nostrils. Standing before me were photographers who started taking pictures of me the moment I stepped on the roses. I could see the excitement and admiration on their faces as they watched me and I couldn't help the pink color that washed over my doll-like face. I sniffed in the air and I felt the presence of my mates but I could not find them anywhere. But I knew they were there somewhere because of how strong their scents were reaching my nostrils. I stopped for a moment and turned back to look at the ladies still in my room. They waved their hands and blew me an air kiss and I felt my eyes stick up with unshed tears but I quickly blinked them back inside to prevent them from spoiling my face. As I was walking down the hall with the group of telegraphers still flocking behind me like cocks following afte
PRECIOUS Grandmother stood with beaming smiles on her face, and my eyes widened in astonishment. I didn't know she was coming, so I left Tiger's hand after getting a nod from him and ran slowly towards her. This was a surprise for me. I knew there were times I didn't want her around because then I only needed my family members by my side, but right now, I knew I needed her back in my life. Knowing that I was going to be responsible for the pack now, I needed every piece of advice I could get. I ran into her arms, and she wriggled me in her embrace as I sniffed her scent. She released me and twirled me around, and I would have fallen off my feet had Duke not caught me by my waist. I flew into his arms, and our eyes held for a long time. His gaze drifted to my lips and lingered there. I licked my lips as a longing for him tore at my core. Duke's face broke into a playful smirk before his lips met mine. As he kissed me, he carried me up in his arms, more like in a princess style, an
PRECIOUS He sauntered towards us with a smile, and he placed a hand on my shoulder. "Excuse me, ladies. I would like to steal this beautiful daughter of mine for a moment." He outstretched his right hand for me to take, and I happily placed mine in his, smiling gratefully at him. Grandmother Ruth's face flushed with disappointment, but she nodded, and I excused myself from them. After we walked a safe distance away, Alpha Rodriguez placed a warm hand on my shoulder and looked into my eyes. "What's wrong, dear?" I explained everything that happened to him, and he didn't seem happy as well. He patted my shoulder, leaned into me, and planted a dry kiss on my forehead. "Don't worry about it, dear. We are all here for you every step of the way, and I have no doubt that you are going to be an amazing Luna, maybe even better than my late mate." Oh, he didn't have to say all that just to make me feel better. I nodded my head in gratitude, and I apologized for making him leave his guest
PRECIOUS I stared at her in utter disbelief. Did I hear correctly? Look at who I was supposed to learn from on how to be a good Luna? "How dare you say that to me?" I raised my hand to slap her, but someone held my hand. I turned around to see who had the guts to stop me from redesigning the stupid girl's face. A nice-looking man stood before me with angry features that I tried my best to guess who it was for. He brought my hand slowly to my side, and from the strong aura he was exhibiting, I knew he was an Alpha. So what if she’s his mate? Does that excuse the fact that she did wrong to me? Still in my bewildered state, I saw him move to her side and circle his arms around her. Rage fueled into me at the greatest meter, and I unknowingly curled my hands into fists. What was wrong with the both of them? How could he dismiss what his mate did just like that? My heart bled because I knew that all eyes were on me. I wondered where my mates were now that I greatly needed them. My ha
PRECIOUS Alpha Alfredo stumbled due to the impact, and I cheered loudly in my mind. He deserved every bit of what he was getting, and I didn't doubt that more was coming. I let my eyes linger on Trisha for a moment to find her kneading her fingers together with a huge frown plastered across her face. She ran to her mate to catch him from falling to the ground, but to her dismay, Tiger kicked him in the opposite direction. I didn't miss the look of fright mixed with anger that flushed her face. She raised her head and her eyes met mine briefly before pure hatred washed over her face, slashing through my heart like an arrow swung by a hunter into an antelope's heart. Fear gushed over me like an overheated freezer, freezing every bit of hope that I had in me. I quickly masked it with a smile, cursing loudly in my mind to never let her see she affected me. I forced myself to look away and focused my attention back on the two men fighting. Alpha Alfredo was once more on his feet, his o
PRECIOUS "Precious Rodriguez, are you running from me?" Amusement danced across his orbs, the corners of his lips twitching into a smile not left in exemption. I halted in my steps and so did Richmond. I shared a look with him before bursting into laughter. Several eyes left the fighting scene to focus on us and I continued laughing when the thought of what might be running through their minds made my cheeks tint with red. "Why will I ever do that?" I brought my left hand to my mouth, muffling the sounds that were tearing me up. "Because you are doing that." He complained with a pout. Wait, scratch that. It was a cute pout. A very cute one. "But I'm not." I rolled my eyes at him. "But you are." He fired back, crossing his right leg over his left. "And I'm not." I wasn't in the mood for all of this. Something occurred to me and I gave him a hard glare. "But tell me, why is no one stopping the fight?" I pointed my finger behind me but Duke's eyes didn't waver off my face.
PRECIOUS I stood in front of everyone feeling all excited that it was all about to begin. Finally I was getting crowned as the Luna of The Blood Canine Pack after all that has happened since the ceremony began. My gaze flickered across the faces in the room and when they landed on two girls from earlier, who introduced themselves as Belinda and Calista. They waved at me with smiles radiating on their faces and I simply nodded, not wanting to cause confusion on the faces of my people. I turned to my right and saw all my mates standing beside me. Nate was whispering something to Alpha Rodriguez while I tried to maintain a calm composure. Twelve elders of the pack all sat at the front, their expressions happy as they all glanced from me to my mates and back to me. One of them, a tall and pot belly man, whose type of head you could regard as a bar head, stood up with a smile, showing his already decaying tooth. He folded the hands of his shirt and stomp his walking stick to the g
DUKE "Ladies and Gentlemen, I have something to show you in regards to this matter." Miracle's voice boomed in the room and I got a chill down my spine. No, let this not be what I'm thinking. Suddenly the screen in the room started playing. The room was dark and I could hear conversations in the background and one of those resembled mine. Then light cast through the environment, revealing I and Bianca facing one another, with her crying and making a mess of my shirt. I let go of her instantly as realization dawned on me. "Why how w-h-o di-d this?" I stuttered, my voice barely audible and I could feel everyone's eyes on me. They were murmuring words about me but I didn't care about what they or anyone thought. I cared only about what my mate thinks of me. I staggered towards her when I saw tears fall down her face like non stop rain. As I got closer to her, she held up her hand and I understood that she didn't want me close. She turned back to the screen and I knew how much it
