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
RAUL’S POV"You keep shaking like a leaf even when we are out of her room, Nikolai. What is the matter?" I teased as I looked at him.Nikolai said nothing but the redness of his ears was all I needed to know that he was shaken by the whole thing. I would really have so much fun teasing him this time around, but what I needed right now was an excuse to get back into that room. "Second and third Alpha, greetings and may you live long," a maid said as she ran towards her.I rolled my eyes in boredom at this. "What do you want?"She looked between I and Nikolai, and I noted that she was shaking a bit. "I was sent by the first Alpha to inform you that seer is here, and you need to come to the room at once.""You may go," I said easily.She bowed deeply as she ran off. I turned to Nikolai who had gotten more quiet as though the whole thing was problematic to him. "You heard her, right? We could get the answers to all the problems that we seek."He sighed as he looked at me. "I don’t know,
ANDREA It’s been one hell of a week, and I was still stunned by the single-mindedness my mates had chased after me. I was also trying hard not to cave into the demands, knowing that it would do me more harm than good. "Let’s get your cheeks touched up," the makeup artist, who I have conveniently forgotten her name said softly. My lips were slightly thin as I smiled at the mirror. "You’re doing a good job, ma’am," I managed to say. She beamed at me through the mirror, and then, she looked at Lily my new maid, standing at the side of the door. I could tell that the slight praise was enough to make her more effective. Though that sounded nice on paper, I still felt like I was dancing through this whole thing. "I don’t still believe that I’m getting coronated as the Luna in a few minutes," I whispered. "Could it be a dream?" The make-up artist softly touched the gold-plaited wolf chain on my neck. "You’re a beautiful woman, and I believe that you have slowly made your place in the p
ANDREAI stared at Avery in shock. I had never imagined that she would talk to me this way. She had always seemed to be so collected, so what the hell was happening to her right now? Why did she have to act so rude?"Don’t look so hurt, when I’m the one who is supposed to be sad here.""Look," I said as I looked around. "We’ve know each other for so long, and you should be able to tell at this point that you mean a whole lot to me. I mean, why would you say such nonsense? The Acting Alphas can’t separate us because you’re my best friend. You’re the one who doesn’t wish to visit me at all, and not the other way round."Avery sighed as she touched her gown a bit. "I’m so sorry about what I said. It’s just that I have missed you a lot."I took her hands in mine, as I smiled softly at her. "I have missed you too, and I want to tell you that I value us a lot."She smiled as she hugged me tightly. "I value you too, Luna Andrea. You look stunning," she said softly.I beamed at her. "I’m sure
