ANDREAIt’s been a week, and I was starting to feel like myself again. There had been apologies and whatnot, but my father-in-law had not been able to do that. Instead, he walked out of the pack and told us not to find him. I still didn’t know what to think about that, but I just hoped with all I had that there would be no more problems for him in the future.Now, I was heading to the dining area to dine with my friend. It felt like the most beautiful thing in the world right now, and I didn’t wish to stop thinking about it."She is here," my friends said the moment I stepped in.Lily, Lucinda, and Amelia giggled behind me, and I rolled my eyes. Despite all of my emotions, it felt good to be able to look at my friends. They complimented my golden gown with their black, red, and silver suits. Raul and Nikolai stretched their hands towards me, and I quickly moved over to them, placing my hands in theirs. It felt so good to be able to do that and be where I was with them, and I didn’t wan
ANDREA "Get up, you lazy twat!" A scream followed by a whip against my back, jerks me up from my sleep. Conscious of my surroundings, I adjust my clothes; bowing my head to the ground ashamed to face Lady Meade, Alpha Duncan’s daughter. Given her rank as the alpha’s daughter, Lady Meade treated we omega as slaves-- especially me, Andrea Vuk. Lady Meade had made me work three days straight without food nor water so while doing the dishes earlier, I’d decided to take a 'little' nap before she’d ruthlessly woken me up with a whip against my back. I guess she considered this treatment alright by the rules of the pack, but I didn’t. It only made me eager for tonight to come quickly because tonight is my 18th birthday and the day I finally get a mate. By the goddess, I hope my life will change like my best friend’s, Avery who found her mate last year and was able to get out of this unruly treatment. "Answer me!" Lady Meade shouts, hitting her whip against the ground; snapping me
LUCIAN"I refuse!" I strongly disagreed with my father. Father, Alpha Ian had summoned me and my brothers to his chambers to urge us to attend the full moon festival tonight. Father always made me, Raul and Nikolai attend the festival every year because we were yet to find a mate and whispers about our curse were already making a buzz amongst the pack members. That’s right, there’s a heavy curse laid upon my brothers and me; a curse that restricts us from shifting into our wolf forms under the sunlight lest we get roasted. It was absurd as we weren’t vampires but still, it was real. Owing to that fact, we were called the 'Night Howlers', because our howls could only be heard at night when we were allowed to shift. The reason behind the curse remained vague but from the information we’d managed to gather, it was because one of our ancestors had rejected their mate on a full moon. After all, he was in love with another and this had angered Selena, the moon goddess. Therefore, to r
ANDREABrody’s sudden blurting out that he had found his mate had caught me off-guard. In fact, I was disappointed because it wasn’t me but still, I tried to be happy for him. "That’s good news, Brody! I’m happy for you," I say half- hearted. "Thanks, Andrea. I knew you would. You are the first person I’m telling this to tonight.""Who is it? Your mate, I mean.""It’s Valerie. Can you believe it?"The 'Valerie' Brody was talking about was Valerie Wes. She is the daughter of Elder Gerald, one of the pack elders and also one of the many persons that most pack members wanted as their mate because not only was she pretty but she was also well mannered. And let’s not even start with her grades. Valerie wasn’t a beauty without brains. Valerie Wes was Elder Gerald’s pride and joy. It was like she had it all and now the moon goddess had given her a perfect mate like Brody. Just great!Seeing Brody overly excited made me want to push him away. "You should go spend some time with her then
RAULJust as we were about to leave the festival after having lost all hope, I felt it; a strange yet familiar presence followed by an ever-sweet aroma. The minute my eyes made contact with the girl by the window, we chorused."MATE!"My excitement about my newfound mate was replaced with confusion once I realised that my brothers had chosen the same thing as me. Turning to face Lucian, I questioned. "What did you say?"Lucian had a strong expression, showing that he wasn’t equally delighted with the outcome of that night. "That’s what I’m supposed to be asking you. I’m the first Alpha. If there’s anyone she’s supposed to belong to, it’s me!""Do you two really want to fight right now?" Nikolai interrupts us. "We’d just found our mate after so many years."I reasoned with Nikolai’s words. "Nikolai’s right! We’ll settle this later. For now, let’s take her home with us." Corking up a brow at Lucian, I questioned. "Would you like to do the honours or should I?" Don’t get me wrong, I wa
ANDREA As Lady Meade escorts me to an available room in the pack house, I couldn’t help but feel anxious and excited at the same time. Excited because I was in the pack house and not the Omega’s cabin; because now I felt like an actual member of the pack and not some cast out slave. This must have been how Avery felt when she found her mate last year and moved out of the Omega’s cabin. The pack house was way different from the omega’s cabin. It was a two story building mansion with the up floor specifically for the Alpha’s and their mates while the down floor was for the Beta’s. The floor was heavily laded with a silver carpet that spread throughout the down floor. Anyway, that is all about my excitement to move into the pack house. I was anxious because I was alone with Lady Meade and whenever we were alone; she always maltreated me. "But not anymore," Kezav says as if reading my mind. "You aren’t who you were before last night; you’re the pack’s Luna now." That’s right! M
ANDREA "This is so unfair," I whispered to myself as tears slid down my cheeks. I felt my wolf purr as she tried to soothe me. It only made me more agitated. I had finally found my mates, but they didn’t care about me. Oh, they did, but just to cure their curses. I was such a fool to think that they had cared for me at all. They only thought about themselves, and nothing more, but this wouldn’t keep happening anymore. I was going to show them that I was not some foot-mat for their satisfaction, but I had no idea how. "Andrea?" I wiped my tears with the back of my hands as I turned around to see the second alpha looking right at me. I knew he was the one thanks to the smile on his face. It was friendly at best, but I knew it was a bit fickle. His grey eyes were turning almost black in the sunlight, and I had to look away as fast as I could, so I wouldn’t get confused with the whole thing. Slowly, I tried to get up, but my knee sunk into the earth, making it a bit difficult to stan
ANDREA’S POV I held the empty plate in my hand, staring at the scrapes remaining underneath. I was not eating like a queen when I used to be nothing but a slave. The fact that things could change overnight was so shocking, and even though life was not at its best right now, I was filled with gratefulness. The urge to wake up so early to serve had fled from deep inside me, and I could stay indoors for as long as I could. I sighed in pleasure, placing the bowl beside me. It was at that moment that a knock sounded at the door. "Come in, please," I said easily. The maid stepped into the room with a smile on her face. "I didn’t mean to distract you, my lady," she said politely. I blinked. "You can call me, Andrea," I said quickly. She shook her head as she clung her fingers together. "I’m sorry, my lady, but the Alpha would have my neck if I make that mistake." "But, we are in front of him," I argued. She smiled then, as though she found me quite hilarious. "You see, if I don’t sta
