The next thing I heard was laughter. Deep bowels of cackling.
I stopped blinking for a second as the voice owner stepped out from the shadows.
It was Aria.
Who didn't know Aria? If she wasn't with a new boyfriend tomorrow she was off making sure all the younger and older wolves got it hot from her. When I first arrived here, she was the first person I knew to avoid.
She was trouble.
"Lucius you should know who she is" She gave a deep breath between each laughter as she looked at me intently.
Lucius didn't seem to grab onto what she was saying as he looked at her continuously.
"Mateless? Wolfless?" She echoed and my head spun.
What did she mean by that?
Was there some sort of rumor about me somewhere?
"Oh! That omega?" Lucius exclaimed and they shared a laugh to my expense.
I looked at both of them before deciding that I was not going to deal with any of this and turned around swiftly.
"Come back here!" Lucius shouted at me and I stood rooted in my spot, the power of the bond holding me down.
I was still excited and the last thing I wanted was to make him realize how much my juices had made art on my inner thighs.
I felt his hand caress my shoulders in a swift motion and my collar bones and I ached for his touch.
I closed my eyes unexpectedly craving more of his touch but my skin received nothing
"Aww…" Aria said and Lucius burst out into more laughter.
My cheeks heated in embarrassment and I prayed that none of them smelled my heat or else this humiliation was just the beginning.
"You can let me go you know" I finally spoke behind gritted teeth and Lucius seemed to take note.
"So you can speak?" He said and looked at Aria who snickered in a corner.
"I can smell your arousal" Lucius' eyes suddenly darkened and Aria burst into more fits of laughter.
"When I thought this couldn't get more embarrassing, You wanted some of this?" She asked and burst into more laughter.
"Did you think you were going to get mated? Aren't you a sight for sore eyes Melissa?" Aria cackled some more and Lucius joined in the laughter.
My tongue rolled in my mouth as Lucius circled me like a predator on prey.
Wait, how did she know my name?
"What did you think was going to happen tonight?" Lucius asked me disgust seeping into his eyes as he looked at me intently.
"That I was going to just accept you because you've been mateless for how long? Or that you are on heat and need some relief?" He asked and scoffed.
" That I would associate myself with you just because you're supposed to be my mate?" He asked again and I kept quiet. My head bowed low as shame engulfed me.
It wasn't my fault that I was an omega, my parents had died in a fire trying to help a stranger while a war was going on. I was immediately bestowed an omega upon being rescued by the ice stone pack and it was rumored that the lycan king had wiped my entire pack and since no one could tell what rank my parents were before their passing, I was given that.
"Look at me when I'm talking to you!" He snapped and I immediately shot my head up having zoned out of the unnecessary humiliation he was making me pass through.
"I can't be mated to someone like you. Like your caliber..." He trailed and I felt his disgust wash with every sweep his eyes made of my body.
Aria giggled and snaked up on Lucius entwining her body with his as if to claim her position firmly.
I eyed her, jealousy crawling up on my body despite the anger that boiled in my stomach as she knew exactly what it was that she was doing.
"What are we going to do about this Lucius?" She whispered in a seductive tone and I saw the effect on him.
With a sinister look and an even malicious smirk, he looked at me and inched closer.
"I, Lucius Hayden of the ice stone —
He began and my eyes widened in shock.
This can't be happening. I just got my mate.
He wasn't going to reject me right?
My eyes moved swiftly and steadily as my breathing started to change.
"— hereby reject you…
Hot pain seared through me as his voice grew even more malicious.
"— what's your name!" I heard his voice through my panting and tears. I couldn't speak, I was fighting for my life.
"Her name is Melissa" Aria whispered and I shot her a shocked look, how did she know my name? but she looked unapologetic she looked very satisfied.
"I, Lucius Hayden of the ice stone pack, heir and prince reject you Melissa, the omega of the ice stone pack and filth of the earth," he said, and something inside Metorne.Metorneon my side as the pain moved swiftly through me.
"You're pathetic" Aria cursed from above me while Lucius looked at me intrigued.
"A little rejection and you have yourself wailing on the floor?" He asked and scoffed.
" How were you supposed to be my Luna? Your parents must have been very disappointed before they roasted in that fire" he said again and laughed heartily.
My ears bled from what he had just said and I found myself getting up despite the pain in my limbs and the pain shooting from my heart.
"What did you say?" I asked, tears staining my face as anger welled up inside of me.
"What?" He asked, a smirk coming on his face with pleasure.
"That your parents were worthless and that was why they died?" He said but I didn't let him finish before Aria gasped.
The sting in my toes didn't compare to how much I loathed him, not as much as I had anger replace the pain that coursed through me.
It took me a minute to realize that I had just kicked the prince of the ice stone pack in the groins.
Whatever happened, I must never be caught in the same room with those two and I ran away.
My breath came in my pants as I ran for my life.
"Guards!" I heard a shout from the place where I had just passed, I brushed past some guards knowing that the moon goddess had just blessed me with a good headstart.
I had just gotten out of the palace gates when the unmistakable sounds of footsteps running towards me were heard. I may have been wolfless but I knew one thing that I had that they didn't have in their human form and that was speed.
"Get her!" I heard another order coming from somewhere but I wasn't about to find out how or why or who, all I knew was that no one slapped a royal
They didn't even touch a royal talk less than kicking one.
"Moon goddess, if you can save me! Save me" I shouted as I ran towards the party.
That's it, if I can get into the party then I could easily just blend in with the rest of the crowd, they wouldn't be able to catch me then.
As I approached the party, I began to pick out more guards than people at the party and something in me knew that it was a terrible idea to hide out in the party.
I breezed past trees, not stopping for breath as I moved swiftly.
Tree after tree, I flew past each one. Each one resembled a monster from nothingness and the wind whispering to my ears as I moved.
After about a few minutes of running, I noticed with relief how quiet the wind was as I could only hear my breathing.
My legs ached the money I stopped and my Back hunched to rest my hands on my knees as I forcibly allowed air to enter and leave my lungs, leaving this burning sensation in my lungs.
I wanted for what seemed like hours before straightening and holding on to a tree for support.
I eventually stopped panting and my eyes began to adjust to the darkness that engulfed me.
The trees in this part of the woods seemed broader and larger, mentally my eyes searched for the blue mark that was always used to mark ice stone's territory, and after looking for it, I didn't see it, panic began to set in immediately.
Where the hell was I?
My body shook as a cold breeze blew past me and I shivered in fear.
There were worst things than getting humiliated by that brat even I knew that.
After searching for anything red for more than twenty minutes, I slumped against a tree as it suddenly occurred to me.
I was lost.
As I thought of the different ways that I could rescue myself, I heard the faint snapping of twigs at a close distance.
At the same time that my eyes fell on the red mark on a very big tree.
I knew that mark, these lands belonged to the ruthless King Avalor.
Immediately, my eyes grew the size of saucepans.
I needed to get out of here now!
I haven't thought about it for long before my nose picked up a scent and I immediately closed my nose to prevent me from inhaling more pungent odors that accompanied the scent.I immediately stepped back and wanted to move towards a direction I knew nothing about when a man emerged from nowhere.I stumbled back to where I was coming from, my eyes getting more and more used to the red marks that were heavily marked into the trees that surrounded me.How had I not seen it before?How had I not smelled the dangers that lurked and now moved towards me in this forest?I was a long way away from the ice stone pack, I was in the stolen lands.Lands owned by a ruthless being, one that was never seen only heard and felt.The same being that had my parents killed.Every ounce of me rejected this place but I didn't have much of a choice since I was still the same person within the area.I turned, wanting to pass another route to escape the man as he staggered towards me and I saw not one but two
What the man had said came to pass and in less than seconds I was free and bodies were decapitated in disproportionate portions.I scurried away trying to hide inside a tree as the man approached me with blood Splattered generously across his rock-hard chest.Fear didn't allow me to look up at him, for fear of what I would see."Hello pup," he said and inched closer to me, his face obscured from my vision as I kept my head bowed. Something in me felt dirty but the moment his hands touched me and raised my eyes to meet his, I felt safe and his startling blue eyes made my insides jump in excitement and suddenly I was in heat again.I caressed his hands, feeling any for cuts but coming up with nothing. His eyes held the world and held nothing at the same time and something in me wanted to be at the center of whatever it was that he was doing.Slowly, my heart pulsed with need and his smirk spread out fully on his face. I wanted this man. I didn't know why and to think I just saw a feral
“What do you mean she should follow you?” Aria asked Alpha king Avalor who chuckled still staring at me as he held my hand with his.“Should you be questioning me concerning that?when it’s very obvious.” Alpha Avalor said to Aria who clearly seemed confused.“Alpha Avalor, I dont think you should be wasting your time on a mateless wolf like Melissa.” Alpha russel said but alpha Avalor shrugged he won’t just let go of the matter when he still had a lot to say.“So are you saying I should reject my mate?” Alpha Avalor said making everyone gasp in surprise as I wasn’t liking the way everything seemed to be turning.I really wanted to reject alpha Avalor but it felt like something was pulling me from within each time I tried to speak.“It can’t be!!”lucas insisted but his father wasn’t ready for any unnecessary commotion so he stood up immediately.“Everyone out!!!” Alpha russel yelled making everyone rush out quickly but Lucas still stood in his position.“Including you Lucas.”Alpha Russ
Chapter Six: She's gone!!!I opened my drawer and brought out the knife I had kept there safely for any emergency as I placed the tip on my arm, trying the acquire the guts I needed within me to tear myself but I really needed to do it, I need to at least make it look like I battled with the people who abducted me that way people would believe I was kidnapped.After a while of breathing in and breathing out heavily I finally summoned up the courage and tore my skin with the knife while I tried to hold me the pain that came with it.I rushed to my bed and made sure it seemed like a blood bathe situation before pouring droplets everyday and the last one lead to the doorway then I tore one of my dress and tied my wound tightly before following the rope down.After what felt like eternity I was finally out of the palace as I found a quick escape route and left the palace territory for good.I didn't bother turning around to check if I was being as I held my bleeding hand and ran as far as
“I should do my worst!!” Alpha Avalor questioned staring at Lucas with so much anger.“Do you really want to see me doing my worst?” Alpha Avalor questioned and when alpha Russel noticed how heated everything was getting he stopped the argument by pushing Lucas out of the room.“Alpha Avalor, I am so sorry for everything he just said and I can assure you that we would find Melissa…she must not have gotten far.” Alpha Russel said to Alpha Avalor who scoffed and then using his leg to slam the things which were already scattered all around.“What do you mean by she must have gotten far..she had already left the palace almost an hour before I came in to find her and you think she would escape the palace and then walk around instead of run for her life!!!” he yelled at Alpha Russel who still tried to keep calm because he knew how influential Alpha Avalor was to him.“What have you all been doing to her that made her feel so rejected and despite all the assurance I gave to her she still ran
I stood in the same position for a while before slowly turning around.“Hi.” I nervously replied while waving my hands slowly.“You must have been really hungry to eat this much junk food.” The handsome starnger said with a smirk as I turned around to stare at the counter that was behind me and it was filled with nylons of the different things I had eaten.“I am really sorry I shouldn’t have taken things without your permission.”I said to him with an awkward smile still plastered on my face but instead of staring back at me his eyes and attention on my dress.“You look beautiful in that sleek dress.” The stranger said with his weird but beautiful smile.I stared down at myself and noticed I was a bit too dressed and tried covering my cleavage a bit more.“Th..tha…thank you.” I stuttered.“My name is Richard since you never bothered asking.” The stranger whose name I now knew as Richard said bringing his hands out for an handshake but I hesitated staring at him weirdly.“Okay, you seem
Chapter Nine: Find Melissa“Alpha, it has now completed a week since you demanded for Melissa from the blue moon pack.” Alpha Avalor beta reminded him as he stood at the window of his study room with wicked grin.“Those bastards!! I knew they couldn’t provide Melissa, they just gave her more chance to run away.” Alpha Avalor said as he slammed things around in his study room.“Get the car ready, we are paying the blue moon pack a visit!!” He ordered while his beta ran out almost immediately in fright, informing the soldiers what the king said.Immediately the car was ready, Alpha Avalor wasted no time in leaving the palace as he was more than prepared to deal with Alpha Russel and Lucas who thought they could act smart with him.He made sure to arrive in a grand style so the guards could inform Lucas and his father of his arrival as he wasn’t ready to listen to any of their pleas he lost his Luna and it’s all their fault.He marched into the palace with his guards as the maids and eve
Alpha Avalor returned to the palace and his beta immediately tells him of the heated meeting awaiting him in the meeting room as the council member has a lot of questions for him.“They are very serious about it.” His beta added as he took off his coat and stomped towards the meeting hall.“You all wanted to see me?” Avalor questioned taking a seat on the throne awaiting their reply as they summoned up the courage within them and nodded affirmative.“You told us of the grand arrival of your Luna chosen for you by the moon goddess but since then we haven’t heard any news of any woman gracing this palace.” One of his council elders said before taking a seat, he nodded slowly thinking of the appropriate thing to tell the elders.“Yes I did say that, and truly I have a mate who is from a respected pack.” He began taking his words slowly.“Then where is she?” Another elder asked.“Currently missing.”Alpha Avalor blunted out the truth.“Missing!!!”“You shouldn't say those words for its an
