ANDREA 'What did I just do?' I whined to my wolf as I stared at Nikolai He had his back turned against me, causing me to panic. How was I going to take back what I had said? Was it too late to say it was a mistake? Should I do some weird frog jumps to prove that I didn’t mean what I said? 'You need to calm down, and..." Nikolai suddenly pulled me to himself, and Kezav’s words flew into thin air like they had never been there before. I blinked as I focused on Nikolai, his eyes had darkened even more, and I wondered if his wolf was coming to the surface. That couldn’t be right when he was cursed. Maybe, it was just a normal thing for men that were.... Ugh! Don’t think in that direction, I snapped at myself as I looked right at him. "You want to kiss me?" He asked softly as his eyes moved to my lips. I swallowed as I looked at his too. "I did say that," I said softly. He growled as he slammed his lips against mine, knocking me out. I let my hands move to his arm, and up his neck,
ANDREAI packed my hair up for the hundredth time, only to bring it back down. The whole thing with being a Luna was becoming more difficult than I had thought. How was I going to make people see that I wasn’t a good for nothing, but I was quite talented in my own right?'What is your talent?' Kezav asked calmly.I groaned as I threw my head back. 'Don’t try to mock me now, wolf,' I grumbled.It was at that moment that a knock sounded on the door. I sighed as I rose to my feet, moving carefully to the door. "Who is it?" I managed."Lily," came the quiet voice.I quickly opened the door, and she bowed in a curtsy the moment her eyes met mine. I signalled for her to rise, and walked back to the mirror, my fingers brushing my hair lightly."What is this outfit you’re wearing?" I asked quietly.She looked down at her faded grey maid’s gown with a soft sigh. "It’s the only one that I have been given," she managed.I frowned as I looked at it even more. "Well, I want you to tell the head se
LUCIEN "Beta Luis,’’ I called as I stepped out of my office, with my hands pulled to the back. "I have the statement of a few gammas that has been stationed at the North area, that there would be some rebels moving into that area this week. It seems to me that the Southies don’t want to stop their attitude." I said easily. Beta Luis hustled to meet my pace. "I’m afraid so, Alpha Lucien. I think it would be a problem to us all if we are not able to contain these rebels soon. It’s a shame that something like this is happening in our pack. We don’t need this right now." I gave a quick nod, as I swerved left. "That is the more reason you have to go ahead of me. I have displaced more guards in the woods and around the borders of the area. But, I need someone who can help control them for a time, and also give me feedback. If there is need for more souls, let me know about it." "As you wish, Alpha Luc..." "First Alpha!" The voice... It turned my stomach into some sort of jelly which
LUCIENI stared after Andrea, long after she had gone. She really had so much of adjustment to do, and it hurts me when I think about it. If there was a way to make her see that I would always stand by her till the curse was cleared up, I would have done so, but there is nothing I could do. Already, Meade was starting to think that I was undermining her authority in the pack, and that wasn’t right.With a sigh, I pushed those thoughts aside, and made my way to the other side of the garden. The whole ambience was calm which helped to quieten my thoughts, and made me feel as though, I was back to being myself again. I never wanted to change the way things happened in my life one bit.The sounds of swords clashing together greeted my ears and I easily moved as fast as I could to the training room. And, there, about forty men in black vests stood on small stools fighting like their lives depended on it. They were warriors and that made me a bit antsy.Looking towards the right, I saw my b
ANDREA I pulled my gown up as I tried to run in the direction of the stairs, only for my hands to be dragged backwards harshly, and I found myself staring into Lady Meade’s eyes. She looked so angry at that very moment, and I could only gulp as I tried to stabilise my movements."What’s going on?" I managed.She scoffed in anger. "You have no right to question me, maid," she snapped angrily.I gritted my teeth as I slowly tapped my gown, finally able to stand on the impossible hill that I was wearing. "I’m not a maid anymore, Lady Meade. I’m the Luna of this pack, and you can give me the respect that I deserve."Lady Meade gave me a look as she burst out laughing. I stared at her simply as I willed myself to be patient. All was going to be well, and there was no need to get hyper for nothing, to avoid more trouble. This woman was trouble in block letters, and can equally be as dangerous. She suddenly stopped laughing and made her way towards me. I took a step back, trying hard not t
ANDREA’S POV"You didn’t need to come," I said softly.Nikolai sat at the edge of the bed as he took my hands in his, kneading it softly. "I had to." He looked at his brothers, and said, "We needed to be here for you.""He is right," Lucian added.There was nothing that I could say to that. The doctor came in almost immediately, looking flustered as he bowed to us all. He moved quickly to the bed, and Nikolai rose up for him to move close.The next few minutes was spent prodding my ankle, and then, he tied it with a red hanky, removing it after five minutes. "Please, straighten it," he said softly.I tried to do as the doctor had said, but a scream tore from my lips, leaving me breathless. He calmly placed a hand over the ankle, applying a balm. After it all, I was bandaged."Is she going to be fine?" Raul asked at once.The doctor bowed at him once more. "Second Alpha, I would advice you should not hurt her legs too much. It would be harder for her to take control of her situation if
ANDREA’S POV I felt pure rage seep through my veins, and I just couldn’t believe the nerve of this witch to talk to me this way. I thought she would at least give me some space, but it was looking as though, I was being delusional. "You are the one who should mind the tone of your voice when you’re talking to me," she said softly. I shook my head as I pulled the blanket closer to me in a bid to give myself more warmth. "I don’t need this right now. Please, just leave my room, and don’t come back," I gritted out. She took a step forward, and Lily tried to stop her from coming close, but she shoved her aside as though she weighed nothing as she kept moving closer to my bed. Her eyes were so cold, but I tried not to be frightened by her. I should channel all of that into anger. And, that is what I would have to do. "Stand back! Did you not hear me?" I snapped. She was suddenly in front of my face, and she tried to jerk me towards her. I gasped as I clutched the bedsheet, struggling
ANDREA’S POVNikolai was on one knee, holding a long sword to himself. I had never seen such a thing in my whole life, and I simply looked at it in shock. He was cleaning it with some hard water and another weird substance like he could not get enough of it. It was the craziest thing to see."I was waiting for you at the training centre, but you never came, so I thought it would be nice for me to come over here," I mumbled as I pressed a hand onto my stomach to give me the needed courage.The way all of the drama had cooked up fled at the sight of Nikolai was so shocking. He slapped his hand over his naked chest, and I couldn’t help but stare at the fine hairs on his chest. The man was so beautiful. Damn it! With a sigh, I looked back at the sword which had its tip tilted in my direction. "If I shouldn’t be in here, I would just leave," I said quietly.He looked at me then, resting his hands on the sword. "I was busy cleaning, I didn’t meant to snub you. Please, come inside," he said
