Chapter 2
"If it meant a difference between me getting out of this pack or not,I will tell the alpha what an arrogant selfish son is and what a disgrace he would be to man's legacy." Are you trying to get out of the pack or are you trying to get yourself killed? She asked but I couldn't help but laugh at her words.Just out to find my mate and get away from everyone who ever called me names. I said irritatedly, arranging the books more aggressively.Kate gave me a sad look and parted my shoulder to console me.I understand how you feel but this has got nothing to with the books you are taking it out on."All will end in three more days,'' I said to her happily.RachelWaking up on my eighteenth birthday was a beautiful dream come true for me.I made a little extra preparation, as I dress for the morning compulsory training. I wasn't even upset about it in any way like I always would be. Even my wolf was excited because today was the first time she will be shifting.I couldn't wait for the training to end. As I was eager to search for my mate if he was in the pack. It was a common tradition that a newly shifted wolf would find their mate on their eighteenth birthday. If their mate isn't in the pack they would travel to other packs I search for. But it is a common thing to find their mates nearby. I bounced down the stairs excitedly and my parents gave me a warm smile."Happy birthday" they both said excitedly as they gave me warm hugs. My dad kissed my forehead like he would always do since I was a young girl. I would really miss them if I were to leave the pack to search for my mate, I had always thought of the possibility since I was young. I had always hoped and prayed that my mate should be in the same pack with me, so that I wouldn't have to leave my parents.But due to the constant bullying, the love I have for the pack keeps reducing day by day.Who do you think your mate would be?My mom asked with a curious face as I tried to take a bite of my food.I don't know, and I don't think he is in this pack. My parents frowned when I said that." Why would you say that,they asked me"Everyone in this pack treats me like trash. Do you think any of them would ever be my mate? I replied to them.Well I was always close to your dad for years and I never knew he was going to be my mate back then. My mum said and they both smiled.Or your mate might be younger than you, my dad added and I rolled my eyes at his words.You know it is not a common thing for a female wolf to be older than her mate. Male wolves have always been older since history.That is why the alpha isn't worried when his son can't find his mate. My dad said and I nodded.I pity whoever she is, it has been nice since he had been gone in search of his mate in other packs . I said while I was excited it was peaceful while he wasn't around. My parents both grin at me.Sweetheart be nice, he is our next alpha. The thought gives me goosebumps ,as I hug my parents goodbye.Mind link us immediately when you find your mate. My mom shouted after me as I found my way to the training ground.I'm one of the first wolves there which has never happened , since I train at home I hate coming to the mandatory training.But today is different because I am so excited with the thought of meeting my mate .I was warming up and running around the track a little.When I rounded the bend and got closer to the forest an amazing smell of citrus and vanilla hit me. My heart begins to race and the sweat from my run drips down my back and in between my breasts which cause me to shiver. I stopped running and looked around to confirm it." Mate"I was disappointed that my mate is here in the pack. I didn't make any move to investigate who my mate was and I tried to run back ,but before I could do so I heard shuffling footsteps in the fallen leaves and a man emerged from the forest."Gabriel"My whole body froze at that moment.No this can't be real I kept thinking to myself even my wolf is unhappy about this.Gabriel walked towards me, he was wearing a black workout shorts with a sheepish look on his face.His hand at the back of his head" Even asshole could have nervous tick""Hey Rachel" he says and his voice causes my body to awake in pleasure.He walked slowly towards me,like I could run at any time.Which in all fairness I could run.He stopped a few feet away from me as his eyes traveled my body before darkening. That immediately pulled me out of my lustful haze and made me feel sick. I crossed my arm across my bare waist, praying my nipples won't harden under his prying eyes."Umm can we talk? He asked shyly and it took a moment for his word to sink in.Talk? Does he want to talk to me? Am I hearing things? The thought almost made me laugh. But I still can't find words to say, as I continue to look at him.Can we like to start over? Can you forgive me for the ways I treated you in the past and give me a chance to be a good mate? He asked shyly and oxygen rushed from my lungs.I looked at him with a broad chest, chiseled abs, strong jawline, shaggy brown hair and beautiful blue eyes.Chapter 3He is so handsome on the outside,but ugly on the inside. I thought over his request for a moment, should I forgive him? The pain he caused me, the fear,the insult,the names, the tears I cried for him treating me like trash for no other reason than because i'm different. I could feel his nervousness as he tried to take another step closer to me."Can you just say something?Please, Rachel? He pleaded and nothing has ever sounded so beautiful as the sound of my name coming out of his mouth. I smiled a little as I took a step towards him."Gabriel". I said and he visibly shuddered at the sound of his name coming from my mouth. I reach out my hands to cup his cheeks and spark erupts all the way down my arms. The pull was intense and my wolf thought of him as marking us. His eyes widen as he lean forward into my touch, obviously enjoying the touch.I think I can give you a chance, I said quietly and I could hear him let out a breath of relief. He takes the hands off his face and
Chapter 4Where is everyone? I asked myself not expecting an answer.Alpha sent them away, he wants this conversation to be private. This isn't about my absence at the pack training this morning right? He nods his head before getting out to open the door for me."Such a gentleman". I said and he snorted in response. He is waiting in the office. I nodded and I walked up the stairs. He doesn't need to show me the way. I have always been visiting since I was young. The alpha and luna have taken special interest in me since I was young, they saw the aptitude for pack dynamics and took time to train me and improve my skills and help me grow,more reason why I love them both."I just don't love their son".I knocked on the door, and the alpha call's for me to come in. I stepped into the office and looked around. The alpha, Luna, Gabriel as well as my parents were present. They both looked annoyed and I turned to look at Gabriel.You told them right? You fool you ruined my plan. I yelled at
Chapter 5I won't say it, Gabriel says annoyed and runs his hand through his hair. I watch his movement,my eyes trailing his hand. Gabriel saw my gaze and snorted at me. That pissed me off and I returned my gaze to the alpha."Rachel,I am not saying that you are wrong". Alpha says, making Gabriel growl from his seat. Alpha growled back making him wilt under his firm glare. But if there is any chance of him Changing,it is you. A mate brings out the best in you, especially an alpha. You might be the change he needs, That an opportunity if you ask me." He said and I smiled at him".That sounds pretty good and all, Alpha am not ready to pin my future on trying to change my mate for good. And it is not fair to ask me to do that, I said as a matter of fact. And Gabriel scoffed from where he was seated.Why does any of this matter to begin with? I already reject him as my mate, it's not like I can just take it back. I said and Luna cleared her throat." Well, actually if you mark him it will
I almost didn't like it." Just relax Gabriel" I said as I ran my hand through his hair, he leaned in closer as my touch was soothing to him but I miss the spark I felt when I found out he was my mate.Though it wasn't enough to forgive him for the way I was treated by him for the past few years, and that is for sure.Gabriel lets just take things slowly,once at a time. I said to him,and he looked very relaxed under my touch."What do you think the pack will think of us?"? I asked him and he looked up at me with a furrowed brow."What do you mean"? He asked me to look him in the eyes.Have you forgotten that you single handedly destroyed my reputation? What? Do you think the whole pack will accept a slut for their luna? I asked, looking him straight in the eyes and he growled back at me."Don't call yourself that" he said and I narrowed my eyes on him."I didn't. You did" I said pointedly and his face fell before he laid his head back on my lap. He moves his hands around my waist ,
Chapter 7"How does it feel? The revenge? Does it feel good? My mum asked but I shook my head".I didn't reject him for revenge, I rejected him because I don't want to be his mate. Both my parents sighed and their looks turned from amused to somber.Rachel we didn't want to say these in front of the alpha, because we want you to know that we are on your side. My mother starts but looks at my dad for help. My eyes flit between the two of them as unease builds inside me.Alpha is right, sweetheart. As much as I hate to admit these, once Gabriel becomes your mate. Your first responsibility is to devote yourself to the pack.if your mate had been someone else other than the future alpha of this pack. I would have said wholeheartedly that you have every right to reject a man who treats you like trash and has no respect . But that isn't an option in a case like these, in fact regardless of what the current situation is , I am very proud of the fact that you stood up to him. For believing in
Chapter 8But since he's here for you, why don't you ask him to stay? She asked and I Shaked my head. I stood up and went out to meet him in the room where he kept wandering around. Looking at my things." I'm fine you can leave" I said and he observed me with a worried expression. He sighs as he runs his hand through his hair before looking back at me. He walks over to me and reaches up to run his hand through my braid.I have always liked your hair like this, it gives off the innocent sexy teacher vibe. He said smiling at me, I crossed my hands over my chest as I kept looking at the ground making him sigh again." Rachel please" try to listen to me just once, if you let me in give me a chance , I'm telling you what I feel for you is very sincere and it has nothing to do with the mate bond at all. Because I have always loved you for years, Rachel I couldn't express my feelings for you because I wasn't good enough for you, and that really pisses me off most times I see you. Everyone
Chapter 9It was really unfair to me but my hands were tied.But I the pain I felt was like that of being stabbed multiple times, it was really getting unbearable for me, and when I reach out for our bond for some comfort, it felt worse than I thought it was with me because I thought she was dying, out of panic I ran to her house to check on her, only to be met with the sound of her cry coming out of her bathroom, my wolf was angry at me and cursing at me in my mind because of the way I treated our mate in the past, I made him lose every connection with her wolf when she rejected us. My wolf had since then been feeling depressed. We couldn't connect her wolf to know whose side she is on.But none of this really mattered to me. At the moment when she opened the door and her face came into view it was clear to me that she was really angry at the moment because her eyes were bloodshot From how hard she must have been crying.I have Never seen anything like this before, she was always so
Actually you have another option, I was happy when I heard that, only to be disappointed when she said, " you might as well go back home to your comfortable bed you know". I could only sighed back in response since I knew I could Change her stubborn mind." Fine, the floor is also fine with me". I said and she nodded back, ok was a pillow and blanket to land on me. I smiled and wrapped myself around me, the strong scent of my mate was good enough to put me to sleep, I sat up a little to peek at her cheek , she growled at me but I smiled back at her feeling happy." Goodnight, Rachel". I whispered to her and she rolled away from facing me."Goodnight"Rachel I woke up at some point in the middle of the night. I could tell that it wasn't a day break yet as it was still dark everywhere. I was sweating,like I was feeling really warm. I reached out my hand to pull the string connected to the ceiling fan, that was when I realized that I was being held down by firm and muscular hands. I lo
Chapter 94Ethan became emotional as his bride walked up to him. The wedding was officiated by the Alpha of the pack,Alpha Gabriel. They were both directed to say their vows and then the joining vine was tied on their hands before they were declared married.Before the Alpha directed them to kiss themselves, Ethan had covered Accalia's mouth passionately, leaving the guests screaming, pleasurably. The couple walked out excitedly hand in hand amidst cheers from everyone.With no delay,they all moved to the wedding reception dinner held at Ethan's home. The place was decorated beautifully and guests were directed to sit at the long table,filled with assorted food,cake,meats and wine.Ethan and Accalia took their place at the head of the table. Everyone had their plates full with whatever food they chose,dished by one of the staff. Helen sat close to Max and occasionally,she would help Adam to some food, especially the meats that he had an issue, cutting into pieces.Alpha Gabriel helped
Chapter 93Accalia gave a light laugh to everyone's surprise. "It was beautiful",she gasped as she was helped to sit up by Ethan."My mother was thrilled to see me. Same with my dad. They looked happy and blessed me. They made me promise to love you with all of my heart", Accalia said pointing to Ethan who was smiling in relief."Ahh! Who knew you could take all of that in?"Helen asked with surprise."I didn't say it,but I wanted to know how I became an Omicron. I needed to ask my parents. And I'm happy I did get answers. It turns out my late great grandfather was an Omicron before he died", Accalia said."They explained the ways of an Omicron to me and what I shouldn't do to avoid me getting in trouble. I really needed to hear what I heard, honestly", Accalia said, relieved."Wow! That's good. Each werewolf has its way,so it's good that you've found your own kind to speak to you",Alpha Max said."But.. something else was there, isn't it? We saw you jerking violently in torments", Gab
Chapter 92Just as Helen was stomping off angrily,she walked in on Gabriel and Ethan having a light conversation. The men noticed the foul mood, Helen seemed to be in and they got curious."Is everything okay?", Ethan asked looking around for Accalia."That depends! Ask your wife!",she said and walked off. Immediately,she said that, Ethan was taken aback at her response and he flinched. Helen had never been that rude to him. Dashing into the room,he left Alpha Gabriel,who was trying to pacify Helen in search of Accalia. He hoped there was nothing wrong with her.Ethan breathed out in relief when he swiftly opened the door and met Accalia and Rachel having a low conversation. Although, Rachel looked gloomy,he was relieved there was nothing wrong with her.He breathed the air and caught the whiff scent of a growing foetus and paused. Ethan tried to ascertain where the scent came from when his wolf eyes scanned through the ladies,and spotted a growing and kicking foetus in Rachel.Ethan
Chapter 91Accalia and Ethan got back to town quite late and they decided she was sleeping over at his place. Helen was arriving in town the next day,so Accalia had to meet her early and try her dress, before people would flock in to say hello to the Luna of the Northern kingdom.Accalia got up early,whipped some breakfast for Ethan who was still in bed before dashing out. She was in a hurry. Few steps from arriving at Rachel's home,she saw Helen arrive. She walked with two people who helped her around with her bags."Helen! I'm sorry Luna!", Accalia screamed excitedly.The ladies shared a warm hug and after some time,they disentangled from the hug. Accalia politely greeted the entourage that came with Helen and they bowed respectfully at her. Helen looked glorious and happy."Good thing I ran into you first, before the whole town hears that the Queen of the North is here. We should meet up with Rachel inside", Accalia said taking the bag of clothes from her."Right away!", Helen affi
Chapter 90The news of Accalia and Ethan's engagement was received well by everyone. The town wasn't exactly surprised because they had expected it, seeing how much Ethan loved Accalia. The couple had decided to make their wedding a very simple one attended by only close friends and family.Ethan still had his quiet personality but since he and Accalia got together,he was less of an introvert.When the news got to Helen in her kingdom,she was elated. She made Accalia promise to allow her make her gown for the day. Accalia didn't want the loud and large gown,but a unique gracious gown,fit for her.Accalia was going to move out of the house,soon to live with Ethan in his bigger house,so they decided to have a simple wedding by the side of the brook by Accalia's house,while the wedding dinner would take place at Ethan's home.With their decision to have a smaller wedding, Accalia and Ethan had few things to do. They had chosen their outfits and food for friends,so all that was left was t
Chapter 89It was just a week after Helen and Max's wedding but yet things had gone back to normal. But of course,the stories about the wedding was still in the news,with people reliving the memories.Life had gone back to normal for Accalia and she had started her oils and perfumes production,when she was back from the wedding. Ethan would always check up on her if she needed anything,but truly he was just being careful that she didn't fall unconscious again.It was a rainy morning and since, Accalia couldn't go out to sell some oils,cause of the rain,she decided to cook herself some hot oatmeal with raisins. She had just poured some of the oats into the boiling water and began to stir slowly,when she heard a knock on her window.The rain hit harder,so she didn't see clearly from the window but she knew that only one person would come in the rain to visit her. She rushed to the door and opened to Ethan,who was drenched with water. "Baby! To what do I owe this surprise?",she said tea
Chapter 88The wedding finally came to its end and the newly married couple waved their byes to all their guests, from far and near and thanked everyone who had gifted them. Max's chambers was quiet and the golden lamps in the large corridor gave the house a soothing feeling. Max held Helen's hands as they walked to their room. Adam had slept off earlier and his nanny had tucked him bed.Alpha Max had instructed all the staff that worked in his home, to go back home and get some rest with his families, because he wanted to be with his wife,and didn't want anyone to interfere or eavesdrop on them.Werewolves had a fantastic sense of hearing and he didn't want anyone to hear the moans that would escape from his wife's mouth. Helen stepped into the room and for the first time in the day,she breathed out.Max went behind her and unzipped her dress and the material fell to the ground, revealing Helen's underwear and corset top. He also helped her to unhook it and gently massaged the lines
Chapter 87Soon Accalia, began to feel warm smiles and hugs from everyone. People were impressed at how lively she was, and not even showing any sign of pain. Accalia bowed to the old Alpha and Alpha Gabriel."You look beautiful,dear and thank you for coming back home to us", Alpha Gabriel said, ignoring her bow and hugging her instead."Thank you my Alpha,it's good to be home",she replied."And if it isn't the strong and brave Accalia, who decided to gift us her treasured presence at my wedding", Alpha Max said cheerfully and hugged her from behind."It's my pleasure to bother the handsome groom with my unnoticed presence. Why would I miss the delicious meals,we planned to have on the menu today?", Accalia joked and Max was thrown in fits of laughter."Thank you for coming back",Max said and Accalia bowed politely.Ethan was about to wrap his hands around Accalia when several hands knocked his off and hugged Accalia instead. It was Eunice and her friends. They all looked beautiful in
Chapter 86" Baby I don't care about what or who you turned to. I'm just glad you are back. I was loosing my mind, everyone was", Ethan said holding Accalia's face on his hands.Her face had received some of its glow and her smile was still as beautiful as ever. She smiled at him and they kissed. It wasn't a kiss based on lust. It was a passionate kiss of hope and contentment."Your face and love we shared was the one thing I held on to in that dark place,I found myself", Accalia said."I have gone through so many hateful and frightening things in my existence but your love was the gleam of hope that led me through it all",She said."And I'm sure that of Helen and Rachel, especially Helen's loud chatter and laughter", Accalia joked.Ethan still stared at her dumbstruck at how lively she became from the motionless being she had been for several weeks. He was certain the whole town would erupt in excitement. "Ethan? Where is everyone? Did they give up on me already?",she asked suddenly
