Delaury's POV
“ Wake up Laury , please wake up” a hand shook me frantically bringing me into reality. Sylvia and Sebastian stood above me in what seemed to be like Sylvia's room. “ She's awake now Sylv, get her some water” Sebastian ordered, helping me sit up. Snatching my hands from his , I pushed to sit farther from him. He was Orion's beta, all were against me. Being Sylvia’s mate and obliged to be attached to each other was the only reason he was here with us. “ I won't hurt you Laury” he convinced as we both waited for Sylvia to arrive. She brought a cup of water and handed it to me. I engulfed everything within a few seconds and handed it over to her. “ What happened?” “ You fainted, they thought your wolf was turning into a rogue at the rejection but I managed to convince them to allow Sylvia bring you here “ Sebastian replied. “ What's happening out there then ?” “A mating ceremony is being organized for Orion and Angela, he declared acceptance of her as his mate,they might mate soon but the oracle hasn't spoken yet , I believe it might take a long time” Sebastian explained once more . Since he had rejected me, the oracle speaking for the moon goddess would take a few months before it agreed for the new mating of Angela and Orion. I wondered how Orion's wolf could cope till then. My wolf has vanished again, disappointed by the rejection. I , on the other hand, knew what was coming. The sudden tears about being mateless, enveloped me as Sylvia held me. I was forever destined to be a pack slave. Very soon, as the beta's wife, Sylvia would be prevented from associating with me and I would be lonely. A loud bang was heard as Sylvia's door swung open, followed by Ervin, Orion’s Gamma , led the way as Orion made a grand entry once more. “ Alpha Orion” Sebastian, Sylvia and I bowed to his presence. My wolf, kicking through me once more. “ We require her presence at the mating ceremony, her wolf has to understand the rejection by watching Angela and I speak to the oracle about being bonded” Orion spoke to Sebastian. I didn't understand this order, I understood perfectly about being rejected. This was obviously just taunting my wolf. Orion's wolf was clearly giving problems as his true mate has been rejected. They just needed me there so the wolf wouldn't misbehave whilst the conversation with the oracle was ongoing. “ I believe her wolf has understood the rejection and she only needs to heal!” Sylvia retorted. “ Shut your mate up before I kill her for disobeying my orders” Orion ordered. Not sparing me a glance, he stormed out leaving an annoyed Sylvia. “ This is so wrong, why taunt her more if she can't have a mate? “ Sylvia asked, helping me wear a dress ,I noticed my wounds created my Orion had healed. “ Surprisingly I didn't need to do much ,your wounds healed themselves, let's get you in a dress before he comes back to murder us all” Sebastian, torn between reprimanding his mate for her disobedience and speaking against his alpha too, kept quiet as Sylvia and I managed to adjust my dress. The three of us walked to the pack grounds, amidst hoots of shame from the people. “ Did she really think Alpha Orion would accept her ?, such an omen” an anonymous person said, Sebastian had to hold Sylvia in place to prevent her from attacking whoever made that comment. “ Let her sit here, she'd be able to watch them from here “ Delta Argon ordered. “ I'll be fine Sylvia, you and Sebastian can stand away from me now “ Sylvia wanted to protest , but a calming push from her mate allowed her to move back a bit. Making her point that she wasn't going to leave me. Sebastian had no option but to stand beside her. I watched in pure torture as Orion and Angela walked to the oracle, followed by General Eziele. Angela's parents, close behind. The oracle shone a bright red as Orion and Angela were asked to circle it. Orion's wolf , still uncomfortable from not being with its true mate kept causing a pause in Orion's movement. It only calmed down when Orion turned to look at me. I was the bait in their mating game. I had to suffer this ordeal. “ I believe the oracle has heard our plea, the crowning of Angela as our Luna would be done a week from now, but we would have to wait for some time to allow the Oracle accept Angela as Orion’s true mate. The oracle would communicate with the moon goddess for us. Angela , beaming with smiles now , held onto Orion as they both kissed. My wolf trying hard to maintain its rejected composure couldn't be held back anymore. A force, I didn't know I had , pushed me from the chair, causing a sudden wind to blow around me. Before I knew it I was in between Orion and Angela . Glaring at Angela with full exasperation. “ She's using her voodoo again ,General, we need to do something about it, lock her in the dungeon, her wolf isn't agreeing to the rejection ,we need to do something about her before she transforms “ Delta Argon cried out as I tried to control my inner wolf. I'd never transformed before so I didn't even know what my wolf looked like. As said earlier, omegas weren't allowed to see their wolves but they could feel them . Orion , walked to his father and whispered a few words in his ears. His father nodded in acceptance and stood , staring right at me. As an outcast, my fate was sealed now, I would become the pack slave and obviously I would be severely punished for the separation of Angela and Orion just now. General Eziele, walked to the side. Orion held me with one arm, digging his long nails at my back, I could feel the blood dripping out. My wolf continued to whimper at the pain caused by its own mate. “ For over 15 years we have tolerated such an outcast , I have allowed her to roam freely amongst you seeing as she is no harm. “ General Eziele spoke, causing Orion to shake me further to the people who had pure disgust in their eyes. “ My son and his Luna need to be of no harm and so are my beloved wolves of the Eziele pack.” There it is now, I would be cast to the pack dungeons. But it turns out General Eziele had other serious plans for me . “ I Hereby banish you from the Eziele pack, you are of no use to the pack and you do not belong here any more! You're now a rogue !” Sylvia's sob filled the air , as Orion threw me farther from him. Yet only one word remained in my ears. “ Banished”Delaury's POV “ That can't happen,General! Delaury has done no wrong to this pack !” I heard Sylvia scream. The impact from Orion's throw was still building up in broken ribs , as I struggled to get up. “ Shut her up before I do !” Orion scowled at Sebastian who ,unlike his earlier masculinity, had become quiet, blinded by his mate bond. “Alpha, I believe something can be done about this, She has done no wrong! Her being your mate doesn't mean it's her fault, if anything the moon goddess should be questioned !” Sebastian retorted. It was quite a surprise seeing him support me. I guess being mates with my best friend brought me some benefits. “ Who are you to disobey my orders? I say what I mean and I want her out of this pack by the end of tomorrow” Orion spoke up, repeating his father's order. My broken ribs ached, my wolf ached in me . I wished I had even died with my parents on that night. Whatever has happened was my fault and I was bearing the consequences on this day
Delaury's POV I walked where the wind took me, paying attention to any sign or smell of a rogue wolf. As much as I knew I would die, not too soon. I'd just started my journey. I hadn't walked that far, I could see the Eziele pack houses from where I was. The place I had stayed all my life, tortured for my past, at least I was allowed to keep my family house. At least I had a cold hard bed to sleep in. Most importantly, I was protected by pack rights. Now, I was just a lone wolf. I would have turned into a rogue by now; being an omega had its perks, I guess. My wolf wasn't that strong to turn into a rogue, much less understand that it's been rejected. Maybe that was why I could feel her whimpering. The Wolf's age, when not in a pack, was just a vast land. When one wolf wanted to split from its pack, it picked a few members and they claimed any good land they wanted. I needed to find a good place to sleep. The journey ahead was far and I had nowhere to go. Maybe I could appear
Delaury's POV “ Kira, the Alpha wants you in his chamber, and make sure you satisfy him , we don't want him angry after! “This place was ruthless , the wolves and even the buildings. Everyone looked ragged. The wolves had placed me in a dungeon and that was where I woke up with about three girls my age. I looked a bit better than them if we were comparing faces. They looked weak and beaten to a pulp. Kira, a blonde petite girl , whimpered as the wolf, with the mark of a Delta, called out to her. I didn't know what the ‘satisfy’ meant but something tells me it isn't a good thing. The rest of the girls ignored her like a plague as kira limped out with the delta. “ Wonder what Alpha would do to her? “ One of the girls spoke up, her once red dress , a tattered mess on her body. She spoke to her mate, also no better with a green tattered dress. Was this my fate too? “ Obviously what he's been doing, we're his pack members and he treats us like rags , how much more someone from a diff
Delaury's POV I watched as the maids and even the few Delta's loitering began to act like they were busy. I had been sitting idle in the dining room for almost an hour and thanks to Krystal’s meal earlier, I would have been devouring the dish they had placed in front of me. The maid placed the last dish on the table and hurried back into the kitchen, locking the door in the process. A few Delta's sent an apologetic look my way, obviously I had signed my death sentence appearing in the Jolt's pack.“ He's here, he's changing into a dress now !” A Delta spoke up, alerting me in the process. Finally I would get to see the scary Alpha Tristan. I wondered how scary he would look, as the people described him. I could smell him before he even came downstairs, a mixed grape and strawberry scent. Suddenly it had taken over the smell of the delicious dishes in front of me. “ Delaury Mchall!” A deep voice called out, not bothering to look up ,I turned in my seat, bowing down to the man i
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
Orion’s POV “ lightning? “ Old Tasha asked. I nodded. “ Mmm” She looked overly calm for my liking. I rushed here early to talk, and she didn't seem the least alarmed about my dream. “ Different shades of hair, a small piercing voice but audible till she began to fade” I continued. “ Anything else?”The memories were fading and I sat deep in thought to remember what she had said before fading away. I almost shook my head. “ Wait, she said something about Jake–” “ Jake? ““ Jane? ““ Are you telling me or asking!?” She deadpanned. “ No no, it was a J word” “ Jenkins? “ “ No” “ Ja–”“ Jolt, yes Jolt, said it was a he, that's when she began to fade” I tried to remember her words. “ By the time the last star moves from this side, it will be too late and the truth shall never be known “ Old Tasha seemed to be in thought. “The last star will be moving somewhere next week. “ She explained. “ But too late for what and what does it have to do with Jolt? “ I asked. She shrugged
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
