TRISTAN'S POVThe oracle was right, the Omega outcast was surely a chosen one. She didn't have to know all that. Rejected by Orion , her wolf would definitely give in to another Alpha ,which was me. Her beauty was something I couldn't put a hand one, Orion had really lost something special for rejecting her. But his loss , my gain. As she stared at me in shock at my sentence I had said earlier,I grinned. “ Im not forcing you to be my mate , Delaury, the mating moon is gone and will be back in months, you have until then to think about it” who was i kidding? She was definitely going to be mine. “ All right Tristan, I would think about it” My wolf, obviously a pervert even more than my human form shrieked in happiness. It will take more than self control not to sleep with her before the mating ceremony. I had to make her fall for me. “ Have you ever transformed into your wolf? “ Omegas weren't allowed to ,I've never seen my wolf before “ “ I'm sure she would be as beautiful as y
Delaury's POVThe Jolt pack wasn't as much of a mess as I had imagined. With the exception of Tristan's words which were running through my head, it was quite peaceful. Today, Tristan had gone hunting with Tyron, and I was alone. “ Good morning, Miss Laury, hope you slept well?” Krystal entered, carrying a full breakfast tray.” Alpha Tristan says to tell you he's going to be late today so you can go ahead and eat without him”“ Thank you, Krystal, and yes, I slept well,” I responded, urging her to place the tray on the bed.” What do you think I can do today, I'm so not used to doing nothing “ Krystal shook her head. “ As our future Luna, your presence alone is quite satisfying to the pack, you don't need to do anything”The words” future Luna” didn't sit well with my wolf as it kicked inside of me. “ Thanks, but you may drop the future Luna issue for now; I'm just a simple omega outcast,” I stated, not wanting to think about Tristan's offer. “ Besides the moon isn't ready for mati
Orion's POVA few years ago, “The rival pack is striking again; we need to build stronger forts; my father expects everything to be done by nightfall,” I ordered in annoyance. I could be anywhere but here, yet my dad expected me to be among the commoners, ordering them to work. The omegas dug deeper; others filled the hole with blocks, strengthening the fort. It had been a long day of training and my bones ached. The only person I was expecting to see was my future mate, Angela. “ Hi, Orion, your dad told me I'd find you here, “ Angela said, skipping to me,” I missed you, haven't seen you the whole day”“ I'm sorry I was training,” I pleaded, hugging her as she placed a kiss on my cheek.” Are we still on for tonight?” She nodded, flashing a mischievous smile.“ I told Mom I would be going on just a walk around the pack with you,” she said,” besides,s, that's all we're going to do, right?”“ Of course” I lied. Though we were going to be mates, we had to wait for the mating ceremon
Delaury's POV“ Would you like to learn how to transform into your wolf?” Tristan said, picking up his favorite fruit and doing a little play with it before eating. He always does this. Who would have thought the big bad wolf would have a cute favorite. “ Yes, I would love to,” I replied, a bit ecstatic about what lay ahead. Living with Tristan for just a few days wasn't as much of a horror as I'd expected and even though the thought of being a future Luna still caused me great unease, I had to go ahead with his kind gestures. “ Tyron and I will be training a few young wolves today after breakfast; you may join us to watch and learn,” he offered, already wrapping up his breakfast. “ Alright, I'll join you soon” He smiled, his smile did lots of things I didn't understand. I could swear if I wasn't a wolf, my human form would have fallen for Tristan already. He could qualify as a Greek god. “ Good, meet us when you're done, brownie,” he said and got up to leave. His bare back musc
Delaury's POV “ What the hell were you thinking?” Tristan shouted for the tenth time behind my door as I scrambled to find something decent to wear. “ I'm sorry I didn't mean to ,I had a shawl on ,the girl—” I rambled. “ That explains nothing! Do you know what lust unmated wolves carry?” He shouted once more, this time entering the room amidst my confusion inside. I was still undressed and he stared at me with pure lust and anger. I'm guessing he also carried the same lust.I picked up a sheet to cover.“ Krystal gave me her clothes, turns out my bust is a bit bigger than hers, that explains the shawl” I explained calmly. “ We need to get you proper clothes” he paced back and forth, speaking more to himself than to me. “ I'm sorry Tristan” I apologized once more and he stopped pacing to turn to me. He came closer, his tall frame towering over me. His hands slid across my waist, drawing me closer. He buried his head in the crook of my neck, dropping silent kisses on it. Star k
Orion’s POv“ I think we need to change the painting in this room Orion, it doesn't fit couples about to be mated” Angela called out from the room. For some reason, I had been dragged to the balcony of the pack house ,just staring at passersby and far into the bushes. “ Orion!” she called out again. This time, angrier.“ I'm here ,Angela “ I stated, Israel ,my wolf annoyed at the distraction grumbled.“ Aren't you supposed to get rid of her? “ He said.“ She's my soon to be mate, I can't do that” I replied. Not wanting to think of one brown haired girl. Which wasn't possible, my mind had been jumbled. Forced to live with Angela by both her parents and my Dad, there was no privacy to think things through. I just had to get ready for the “ second Mating night” as both parents stated. “ Did you hear me Orion, I said this room needs new painting” Angela appeared behind me, with an annoyed expression.“ Okay, I'd ask Sebastian to get some for you in the city by noon” “ How about we go
Delaury's POV “ Ouu it's been a long time Tristan, where have you been?”a woman greeted from behind the counter the moment we entered. Tristan gave her one of his charming smiles and I could see her blush in delight. “ I've been around, just small stuff you know,” he said, already looking around. “ Would you get her size please, we want some clothes for her” The woman turned to me, as if noticing me for the first time , she eyed me suspiciously. “ Oh, a new girl?” She said, still eyeing my outfit. “ Nothing for you too see Mira, get her clothes please” Tristan said, already looking annoyed at her delayed tactics. “ Yes , Tristan” she said, “ come with me” After a few minutes of disappearing into aisles she brought out a heap of clothes and pointed to a room at the left.“ I'm sure he'd want to see whatever you wear, so when you change , come back here” she ordered. I could only nod and take the clothes from her to try it on.After several “too revealing”, “ too short” and “ p
Orion’s POV The crowd in front of the stores confused me as Angela and I arrived. The paint shop was at the far end, making it easier to just enter than pass the people who had gathered around. “ Are you coming with me ? “ Angela asked, already leading the way. “ Uh- no, I want to check something,you go ahead “ Israel grunted within and I couldn't help but ask what was wrong. “ You missed this,” he said angrily. Angela turned to leave in a huff, obviously wanting to make a grand entrance with me. I don't know what was pulling me to the crowd.“ She was right here, it felt like some form of an attack” a lady said, obviously she had seen what was going on and was narrating it. “ Did he take her to the hospital?” A man asked. He smelled like a wolf. I walked to him instead. “ I don't know, he carried her in the car and they left in haste” she replied. “ What's happening?” I asked the man. He began to protest but sensing I'm also a wolf he explained. “ I think it was an Alpha
Orion’s Pov The baby with brown hair lay in my arms, her smile was as bright as the sun as she kicked her legs high up on the hair. “ Isn't she too young to be kicking?” I asked Sylvia. She rolled her eyes at me and continued with the soup she was preparing. Sebastian has to check on the young wolves today so he asked me to check on them. Sylvia and I had gotten closer so there was no problem talking. “ My daughter has the strength of a thousand Alphas” she said and placed a bowl in front of me. “Eat, you look like Ervin and his wolf” she teased and I let out a laugh. “ How does Ervin and his wolf look like? “ “ Dehydrated , Malnourished and scrawny ,how did you even make him on of your associates? “ I shrugged amidst laughter. “ Ervin has been a good wolf just too slow unlike Sebastian” “ I know Sebastian is your favorite “ she said proudly and I laughed. “ I understand why he likes you so much,you're funny” “ Me? Funny ? Wait till you meet–” she paused and watched me qui
Delaury's POV Jules finally deemed me fit to walk today. I'd been in bed all the week, with only short movements from the bathroom and back. “ I'm guessing she can do anything now,” Tristan asked him, his hands squeezing mine. “ Not anything,” Jules replied. He knew what Tristan was asking about. “ That's not fun, don't I get to take something from you after taking care of you” “ There are other ways I can replace it” He shook his head silently and we waited in silence till Jules left. “Today the oracle would speak to me,” Tristan said as soon as the door closed behind us. “ It's been glowing so much lately,I guess it has special information. “ Okay” “ I'm hoping it's about when we're mating” I sighed quietly, mating with Tristan might have been high a few weeks ago but now, the idea was not so thrilling. “ You're not saying anything brownie, are you fine? “ “ Yes, I am ,thank you” “ For what? You're not following,I'm talking about the mating ceremony “ “
Orion’s POV“ I need to –” “ No, Orion, it's not time to confront your father yet,leave him alone ! He chose my friend and that was all” “ But he hurt you” “ You wouldn't be born if he has chosen me “ “ But–” “ No buts, I'm not telling you this because I want to, you asked. Besides there's a lesson there for you to learn “ “ Fine, but do you promise we'll revisit this matter? “ “ Of course Just not now Orion, focus on what's needed” she said and picked her stick to leave. “ Remember,time is ticking “ I say there for while before getting up to leave. A million thoughts ran through my head with none being straight to the point. “ I've been searching for you , Your Dad seems to be in a furious mood” Fidele said.“ Don't worry about him, tell the Omegas they may take a day off “ I said. I didn't know why but the urge to make sure that the omegas were involved in most of the pack activities has been consuming me all day. “ Where have you been Orion? “ Angela asked, pouting. “ Ar
Orion's Pov For the first time ever, I was wondering what would have happen if the moon goddess had just mated Angela and I together. Delaury wouldn't be banished but she'd still be an outcast, old Tasha would never have spoken up and I wouldn't be here watching her in awe as she braided a strand of her long white hair. “ My mom? You knew my mom? “ She nodded absentmindedly. “ I'm not a child Orion and I'm not too old to remember people, Angelina and I were friends” she said. Dad only told me she'd been killed by a rival pack, actually he kept changing how she was killed. “ Friends as in age mates? “ “ Yes, my hair is white because it's hereditary, a family inheritance that I chose to keep, I use a stick to walk because I broke my waist years ago, and i don't talk to anyone because I choose not to, I'm too overwhelmed by Angelina's death” “ What happened?” I never saw a picture of her around, Dad threw them all out, saying he didn't want me to be hurt all the time though I yea
Orion's Pov “ You carried a pack baby for months and decided to name her Delaury? after a cursed soul? “ Giselle scowled behind Sylvia and Sebastian. We were having a ceremony for the birth and thought they preferred a quiet one with no other disturbance. I'd convinced them to go ahead with the pack’s normal routine, inviting the older wolves for the ceremony. Giselle, an old grumpy woman, was pissing me off more than the couples standing in front of me. “ So , we welcome this beautiful baby to the Eziele pack, may she grow to explore certain parts and prove all odds wrong” I said, staring pointedly at the women who cast furtive glances at me. “ Orion” Giselle called out .“ Giselle? “ “ Why aren't you bothered by their choice of name ?” “ Delaury is a name , Giselle, it's the name of this baby and several other female wolves across the wolf's age, one cursed person doesn't affect them all” I retorted. Though Israel grunted when I said ‘cursed’. “ It's the Eziele pack we're tal
Delaury's POV “ It's so smooth ,yet it feels unreal” Krystal ran her hands down the mark in awe. I was lying on the bed now, on my stomach as she examined the mark. I know she had mind- linked Tristan, so definitely he was coming. “ And you haven't seen this before?”As much as I wanted to say the truth to her, instincts told me to shut up. “ No, “I used to draw them in a book when I was in the Eziele pack, I drew them out so I could remember each and every design my family had on their back. I even drew mine out, just like Dad’s . Yet mine came out worse.“ Krystal what's wrong? “ Tristan burst in and the familiar grape scent filled my nose, Jules was with him obviously and he didn't seem too convincing enough to know what was behind me.“ When did you find out about this? “ Tristan asked, passing his hands over the mark. “ Just today, she wanted to know how much of a scar she has now so she walked to the mirror to check and that's where we saw it” “ Have you seen someone with
Delaury's POV Five days. Five days of being indoors and my mid section wrapped with bandages . My breasts were pushing against the bandages, begging to be freed. I wonder why Jules found it right to bandage my breast too. How exactly did the lightning strike? The blood has stopped now and currently I was able to prop up on the end without hissing. “ Water? “ Krystal asked as she lay beside me on the bed. Tristan wanted to bring in another maid but she had refused, saying she was just pregnant and not disabled. She used to come see me and then go back to her room after seeing to my needs, but after my weird episodes of nightmares,she'd decided to sleep with me instead. “ Yes, can I get grapes too? “ I pleaded. She gave me a warm smile and got up to leave. Tyron came in after she left. “ Hi, Krystal told me you're awake, come to check on you” he said. “ Thank you so much, I appreciate this” “ I'm sorry Delaury, I really wanted to stop him, I don't know what's wrong with him these
Orion’s POV “ Calm down Sylvia, relax and bring it out!” Old Tasha soothed, her hands gently caressing Sylvia's stomach as she panted. Just when she had decided to talk, Sebastian had rushed out for help and she had rushed into their house before me. The care attendants ran back when they saw who was coordinating the child's birth. I smirked. “ We're not doing this again, Sebastian; go fuck Orion next time! “ She yelled, taking a deep breath as she pushed once more. I was as traumatized as Sebastian, who was on the verge of tears at his mate in pain. I was standing beside him whilst Old Tasha stood in front of her, waiting to receive the baby if she pushed harder. She was gentle yet firm with her. “ Calm down Sylvia, calm down, this baby is a strong one” she encouraged. That seemed to make Sylvia confident and she pushed.“ Can't male wolves give birth? “ She asked no one in particular, Old Tasha did have a mysterious smile to her face. Her first. “ Now do one last push, and
Delaury's POV Flashback: “ Mom, what's that behind you? “ I traced the nice tattoo behind her back as she swam in the ocean. “ Oh, it's something you'd get to know when you're older” “ I've seen Dad ,Dana and Delah have it but I don't “ “ Like I said hunny, you'd know when you're older, it's a powerful symbol for our family “ she explains, splashing water on my brown hair to get it wet. “ How will I get it Ma? “ “ Dad and I got it during our confession night, you know it was a forbidden night for us, that's why it's large, Dana and Delah got it during their first shift to a wolf “ “ So theirs isn't forbidden? “ She shook her head. “ When it's forbidden, it depicts the kind of wolf you'll become “ “ Which wolf? ““ A very strong one baby, don't worry young head, let's play with the water” I agreed, what was there to think of anyway? end of Flashback ★★★The lights blinded my already dark vision and I squinted even in my sleep. The pain at my back was so severe that I coul
