ANDREA I slowly made my way through the passage to the first garden where I was told that Brody’s mother was waiting for me. I had no urge to go over to where she was, but it was not something that I had been given an option in. There was a coronation to plan. I bunched my clothes carefully with my fingertips as I moved. The gown I wore was tighter than normal today. My maid had informed me that since I would be meeting the Beta’s wife, it was important for me to look ravishingly beautiful today, and I would do well not to forget that. So, here I was, hurting down the path, hoping I wouldn’t fall flat on my face. At the edge of the door, I noted that Brody’s mother was chatting with another woman. It had to be the fashion designer. I had not seen her before, but I held tales of her, and they weren’t good at all. She was so condescending to people and no one in the pack was taken to her. I honestly hope that she won’t dampen my mood this morning. It would be a disaster. "Good day,"
NIKOLAI With my hands stuck deep in my pants, I made my way down the path to the pack house, hoping to numb every of the thoughts in my head. It was at that moment that I noted Aurora standing in the middle of the path, looking lost. I turned towards the direction she was looking at, and saw the ball move right at her. Without thinking twice, I moved to her direction in rocket speed, pulling her to me, and closing my hands against the ball. My hands held her close in that moment and I simply couldn’t breathe. She was just too cute. A series of 'sorry’s' could be heard behind me, but I didn’t pay attention. "Are you ok?" I asked softly. She lifted her head from my chest and looked at me. Her eyes were wild in shock, and I could tell that she couldn’t quite believe what had just happened. Her lips opened to speak, but no words came out. I resisted the urge to peck her on the forehead, and slowly released my hold on her. "Kids, you should leave," I ordered the gamers, throwing the ba
ANDREA I felt Nikolai’s hands slide up my waist, and I slowly tried to pull back, but he didn’t release me. I looked into his eyes and noted that they were as soft as ever, and not in a bad way. It was so right and sweet. His second hand lifted my chin, and then, he leaned over and kissed me like I was the next thing best to ice cream, and I felt like I was melting. My hands rested on his chest, as I parted my lips slightly, letting his tongue slide into my mouth as I sucked on it. 'I thought you didn’t want to kiss the boys anymore,' Kezav moaned in my ears and I couldn’t help but gasp in panic. I tried to pull back, but Nikolai wasn’t letting go. In a moment of indecision, I had no choice but to step on his right foot. He released me then, and I stepped away from the mat, fleeing out of the training room. "Andrea," he called out. I turned a bit, careful not to hit the bench at the side which held a complicated working tool. "Good bye, third Alpha," I grunted out. With that, I
NIKOLAII smiled as I watched her flee from the training room. She was cuter than I had imagined and I was shocked that she was the only one that seemed to get me properly. My left hand slowly moved to the crook of my neck as I massaged it lightly, knowing fully well that I was growing red. It was one of the things I hated about being softer than my brothers. But, my mate didn’t seem to mind, or maybe, she had noticed it yet?"What was that all about?" Raul boomed.I turned lightly to where he stood as he looked as confused as ever. "I don’t understand that question. Please, can you be clearer?"He frowned as he walked closer to where I stood on the mat. Yes, I have been standing there like an idiot, thinking that she would come back, but there seemed to be no prove that she would. Maybe, she was even worse than I was when it came to shyness. I can never tell, but I would find out, of course.Raul clasped his hands together as he stood in front of me. "I saw Andrea, and she looked li
I CAN’T DECIDEANDREA’S POVI tried to turn on the bed, but there was a weight pressing me down. What the hell was going on? I opened my eyes at once and all I could see was Raul leaning on me."Get off!" I screamed in panic.He simply stared at my face. It took me a moment to realise that he was looking at my lips. Oh, no! Don’t tell me that he wanted to kiss me! This can’t be happening!"Didn’t you hear me, second Alpha?" I cried."Be quiet," he said softly.I bit my lips, not having a choice. Even if I was his mate, I knew that there were some things I just couldn’t tell him, because it would become disrespectful. No one disrespected the acting Alphas and went scot-free. And, I have lived such a horrible life anyway, and I didn’t want to go to a place worse than I had been before.Raul was still looking at my lips, making me so self-conscious. The moment I lifted my head a it, his lips touched mine. My eyes went wild in shock, as he slowly deepened the kiss. I bit his lips accidenta
LUCIEN’S POV I stared at the window for a long time, replaying what happened earlier this evening. Andrea had refused to kiss me at first, but then, she somehow agreed to it. I had no idea if she did it out of fear or something, but all I knew was that my wolf didn’t even make a sign that he was there. I had been left on my own to grapple on nothing, and that was beyond annoying. "Damn it!" I swore as I rose to my feet. I grabbed a hold of my phone as I dialled Nikolai’s line. "Meet at the edge of the forest in 10 minutes, relay the message to Raul too." "Ok, Lucien," he said at last. I disconnected the call at that as I made my way to the other side of the room, switching the lights of. I was going to be fine if I saw my brothers. No matter how much we fought, they were my lifeline, and I cared about them too much to wish for someone else in my life. I wanted to be a part of their soul if possible, I itched my hair as I walked out of the office and to the lone corridor. Everywh
ANDREA’S POVI felt the image of a wolf running through the dark, but I couldn’t see it. With a groan, I turned to my side, grabbing a pillow to stop all the dreams from coming to the fore, but it was like a sequence. Before I could stop it, my eyes shot open, and I stared at the darkened state of my room in panic.My eyes moved over to the window and noted that the cotton was flapping against the window seals with such fierceness that caused me to gulp lightly. I tried to step down from the bed at that moment, but my legs felt stiff like someone was holding it tightly.I tried hard not to scream as I looked around, but there was no one. 'Kezav, what the hell is going on? Why do I feel this way?' I asked my wolf at once.There was no response from her, except more growling. It was evident that she was equally in pain, and I hated this. She didn’t deserve to be hurt for whatever reason. I had not had her for long, but she had been there giving me sound or foolish advice where was neede
ANDREA’S POV I sighed as I hit my head on the shower head a bit. How could I have made the mistake not to control my emotions in front of them? Now, I was like a complete idiot, and that was putting it lightly. Only the goddess would save me from the second hand embarrassment that I would receive if I met them. Just then, a knock sounded at the door, causing my eyes to go wild. "Who is it?" "It’s just me, Miss," Mabel rang out. I took a deep breath, trying to relax my nerve as I believed it was truly just the maid like I had been told. "Ok, what is it?" "I’m on my way to get your food incase you’re looking for me. I believe that after yesterday, you deserve a good night sleep. I don’t want you to worry about anything, and always be happy," she said. I frowned lightly. It was so unlike her to make such a comment. Shaking it off, I said, "It’s alright. I would do what I always do while you do your thing," I mumbled. "Of course, Miss," Mabel said once more. I heard her footsteps a
