Lily: "Uh..." He murmured, with his lips dropping and his eyes staring at me, there was no denying that I wanted him, even if it was for the last time, my body and my wolf were screaming for him. I had no idea if this would be the last night or the beginning of more.I don't know what the goddess planned for me but I am not letting go of Adrian, the man I love and I don't want to wake up after the claiming with regrets that I should have done things differently. I flick my tongue across my lips, wetting them with my saliva while I swallow hard, I have a dry throat as a result of the taste and the invisible lump I have in my throat. "Lily..." His voice was crowded and it was coming out needy, my words had left him needing. He moves closer brushing his lips against mine. That little action of him drove me wide and the heat in my stomach moved down my thigh and my body was sending a message of its own. His soft and warm lips against mine were killing me and it was spreading goosebu
Adrian: I adjusted my necktie, wearing a suit was never my thing but the dress code for every wolf attending the claiming for males, was a suit, and for she-wolf, a dinner gown. Although I wasn't able to shortlist my name under Lily nor did she enter the claiming, I still wanted to attend and probably got a hint of things that usually happen inside the ball, I have no idea, because Alpha Todd, didn't attend one before he got his first Luna and his present Luna, maybe, this would be an eye-opener on everything that happened in the ball, if Lily and I would go for the next claiming. I was nervous, I can't deny it, I was scared that someone else would take her from me, last night after our sex, watching her sleep beside me, didn't give me that joy, I normally have when she sleeps beside me, fear crept into my head, it was like that was the last time, there will not be another time. At one point, I was eager to leave my mark on her and face the council but I know I shouldn't do it, I a
Lily: I had planned with Adrian that I wasn't going to step out of my room, even though the claiming was hosted by the pack, but at the last minute, I knew I had to step out and watch how the claiming was done, I had trained enough and I am sure, my combat and dagger skill will be enough to defend myself if ever I found my mate and I asked for rejection and he didn't give me. Time since to fly and the next minute it was time for the ball, Adrian texted me that he had arrived at the Pack, I wanted to ask him to just come up to my room and keep me company but I understood he wanted to attend the ball so we could have an idea what the claiming is all about. Apart from the fact that we know it's a night where unmated wolves gathered to find their fated mates, dancing beneath the moon until the bond snapped into place, and also a night where those who don't find their fated mate could pick a chosen mate. Some believed it was a sacred event, that the moon goddess herself guided their fa
Lily: "Who? This beta or that beta?" Adrian parted his lips to say something. "No need, because I am bringing my female home, I don't care what you both promise each other, it's over now because her mate is here." I swallowed hard, this was once the best thing I prayed for, and here he was standing in front of me, I should have been happy that the goddess granted my heart's desires but I was mad, I didn't like it, I didn't want him anymoreRayvan's face still has that grin, that smile that I couldn't tell if he was excited or mockery. If it was before, I would have said he was happy to have me as his mate but with everything he did to me, I know he must be mocking me, that at this point, my brother couldn't stop him from having me. "Come here, little Lily, don't tell me you will pick a low-life beta without a Pack to an alpha that could give you a title and a Pack? You always wanted to be my mate, you love me and you have told me a thousand times that you would go to the claiming bec
Lily: I shattered the things on the table while my mist eyes dripped with water, I hated my fate, I wanted to be strong for myself and Adrian. I know he is hurt, he is only putting up a face. I saw it in my dreams and every night I wake up, I tell the goddess that it shouldn't be one of those dreams come true. I pleaded with her, I begged for Adrian and no one else but I could be a mate to someone I don't love anymore. Fine, I once loved him and wanted him to be my mate, but I stopped loving him and wishing he was my mate yet the goddess didn't overlook that except for my stupidity. How could the goddess be so unfair to me, for three years I had wished for a mate who could redeem me, and when she finally decided to give me one, she didn't grant me my heart desires, she didn't give me the wolf, my heart and wolf always wanted. Why do I feel this mate bond is a curse to me not a blessing? Wouldn't it be better if I am fated to someone who is my friend that I could ask for rejection
Adrian: "Adrian!" I didn't move my head from the windows, I knew it was my Alpha that was calling out to me, since I returned from the Forest Moon Pack, I hadn't left my spot, I had been staring through the window with nothing as my focus. "C'mon, it's not the end of the world, Zeus called, he said his sister had been trying to reach you but you weren't taking any of their calls," "I trash my phone," I murmured pointing at the floor, I knew it would have a damaged screen since I threw the phone from the fourth floor. "Why? He said Lily is missing you." "Stop it Alpha, don't make it harder for me." This time, I tilted my head to him not moving from the window, my tears were flowing like a river, and I couldn't hold them. "There is a way..." "Which way?" I interrupted him. "I don't know but we will find a way, I know it's hurt, no one..." "Please, Alpha, you don't understand, I am not thinking about myself but Lily. I don't want the bothering on her heart that she had
Lily: When I pulled the door open, I wanted to jump on him but he took a step backward creating space between us, and leaving me broken, "are you irritated with my closeness?" I asked he shook his head. "Sorry, I didn't want us to give alpha Rayvan what to hold against us, I don't think I could hold back myself from not kissing you and Blaze, I think he wants to mark you." I sighed moving from the door. "I understand, we shouldn't be together but I can't sleep, I want to be here beside you, I want you to cuddle me, tell me those sweet words, and forget we have issues like the other times, this issue is just like one of those issues that come and go, they are our trying times but we always break through it." "I want that too but I am scared that this might be different." His words break my heart, even though I know this is different but hearing it for me made me more broken. "Why? Is it because it involves mate?" He raised his head to the ceiling before he sighed and sat o
Zeus:The night was the longest night I have had all my life. I didn't feel like sleeping, not that but sleep didn't come, I wanted to sleep and wake up tomorrow thinking it was just one of my nightmares but I couldn't go to bed when my sister's heart was shattered, although our dad was still alive but it felt like it's just the two of us. We got just each other since our Mother passed away and father transits his power to me. We have been living like it just the two of us, we got each other back. We laughed together and cried together, we shared both the good and the bad moments. Her pain is my pain and mine is hers. It breaks my heart every time I see her in this situation when she is always crying. She was always crying because the goddess wasn't fair to her. I wish sometimes the goddess would let me share her pain or even give me all the pain and spare my sister's heart the stress. After I let Adrian into the pack house, I told Caleb to see him out when he wanted to leave and
Six months after the marking.Adrian: My eyes scared the Pack infirmary, where Lily now works, using her blood to cure our sick pack members, although she was still pregnant, she was giving little doses of her blood to serve as medicine for our pack members. No one was forcing her to donate her blood, it was something she was willing to do, although so many times, I had asked her to stop doing that if it was going to affect the pup on her tummy, she would always say, If it would affect the pup, she will stop and that the pup is still healthy. It has been months since she started working at the infirmary and also pledged her loyalty to my Alpha, alpha Todd, and the pack. We didn't have a beta ceremony because she didn't want one but we had a party with a few of our friends. Many things have happened in the last six months, with her moving into the pack house, we find out, that she is carrying a male pup and also with the pack accepting her as their female beta and one of them. Th
Lily: "I love you Adrian, and I want to be yours," I said smiling at him. I felt his self-control crash, a rough growl escaping his lips. One of Adrian's large arms grabbed my bosom and giving it a hard squeeze, I let out a yelp of surprise, rolling my tits across his fingers. He thrust in and out of me. Increasing his pace. With our bodies slapping against each other and our moaning mixing with the sound of the morning bells. "Damn, my vixen mate..." I smiled liking the sound of the word mate, my second chance mate. "So fucking perfect."His fangs elongated, greasing my neck and Ray giggled in my head "Don't stop!! Mark me!!!" I growl as my fangs dug into his shoulder. His fangs sank into my neck. I let out a sharp cry of pain. Flattered myself on the bed. He increased his pace, and soon the pain turned into pleasure, as he licked every blood from my neck. His lips slammed against my lips."I love you, Lily." His voice was rough and I could still feel the guilt prickling at the b
Lily: "Can I taste you?" He asked his deep baritone voice came up and it turned me on, I could smell my arousal. "Of course,"At this point I wanted him, I wanted to taste him, just as he wanted to taste me, if he didn't see anything wrong with me kissing Rayvan then I wouldn't judge him on whatever he thought he had committed. I didn't know what was bothering him and I didn't want to know, all I wanted was my Adrian, no matter what sin, he thought he committed I couldn't care because I was not going to judge him. His lips smashed against mine, as he kissed me, "You taste sweet." He mouthed, "How do I taste like?"I asked and he shut his eyes. "Fine wine and beer."Wine and beer were not something I was expecting. "Are you sure it's me you are tasting or the alcohol in your system?" I tease him and he smiles. "No, it's you and your smell, you smell, is so fucking intoxicating and addictive, I think..." Ray threw herself forward making my thoughts scattered, and I became needy and
Lily: With everything going on around here for the past weeks, since I arrived the pack, it's disturbing. Although Adrian was fine now and had returned to his Pack and I hadn't heard anything about Rayvan all pack I could still feel something was off, Adrian had not taken any of my calls or returned them nor had he thought of visiting me. I know brother had his pains and didn't want to add to it and Caleb is all lost, I don't know the cost of his pain but I think he found out something about his mate. I still haven't told Adrian that we are expecting a pup, in these hard times, the only thing that has kept me going is the pup growing inside of me, and with my wolf fully back, despite all the pains and being kept in the dark about the male I love, I am happy that my wolf is here to talk me out of the sad times. Zeus hasn't let me get out of the Packhouse, he is still scared but today, he told me I could go to alpha Todd's pack, so I could talk to him. I arrived at the packhouse a
Lily: "Lily!!!" I heard someone scream my name but I didn't think it was Rayvan, I tried to fight off the warriors pulling back into the Packhouse, I didn't want to go back, but I was too weak to even move my legs, or my arms, I was bleeding nonstop and my wolf had already passed out because she was taking all the pains, from our rejection, the bleeding and all the bruises those vampires had given me. "Let her go." I heard a loud growl, my eyes watery, someone had come from me. "Who the fuck are you to tell me what to do?" The warriors growled and I could see the hood fall off the face of the fellow, it's Jena, I smiled ray of hope spread across my face. "Warrior princess..." The two warriors mouthed and the next thing, Jena had thrown two daggers at them, before they could act, they fell leaving me almost collapsing before a strong arm wrapped around me, I raised my head, Caleb was the one who just grabbed me as I fall to the ground. "Lily!" He called, I could see bruises on the
Rayvan: Giving her rejection wasn't part of my plans this night, I only wanted to torment her with those Vampires and see if her blood could still make them mad, but my beta seems to be having soft spot for her, and the fucker had to show up and rescue her like a knight and fuck, her blood scent was still as intoxicating as ever, the vampires desire her. If her blood is still as tasty and strong as before what is the reason she is not healing my mother fast, or probably we didn't get enough of her blood, I wanted to drill her till nothing was left in her blood vessels, but the physician doesn't think it's a good idea to take more of her blood, that it might affect the pup but who cares, I wanted that pup gone and what is the goddess thinking giving me a female that is pregnant with another man pup. My wolf and beta didn't like the way I treated her. My wolf and beta had always turned a blind eye to the things I did, even when they knew what I was doing was not correct but when it c
Lily:“Now go. Run!”With a final look at him, I turned and fled into the forest, my heart pounding as I ran as fast as my wounded body would allow. My shadows swallowed me, and the sound of snarling and fighting erupted behind me, I hadn't gone far when I heard another growl, my body flinched and I heard footsteps and a scent hit me. "Fuck..." I curse, Rayvan must have let an alpha command on his beta, probably leaving him immobile. "Lily!" Rayvan's voice growls in the forest. 'Lily, don't stop you can't stop, keep running, I could smell them, they are here to save us. ''who?' I asked Ray. 'I could see Zeus, uncle, and father but I guess the beta and his alpha are here.' A smile of relief spread across my chest, knowing that someone had come for me but I was bleeding badly and I had little or no strength left in me. But I know I had to keep running to the borders.'Don't give up, we will get out of here,' my wolf reassured me in my head. 'how? I don't know how I am going to ge
Zeus: I had no brother or friends, apart from my beta and gamma, and I needed someone to talk to when I received this letter and photo of Lily and Rayvan, I thought something was off, I needed someone to share my thoughts with and Todd just happened to be the fellow that I thought I could do that with. We were just talking in the office when his beta arrived, his eyes fell on the pictures scattered in front of me and his alpha and then the letter, I watched his tears drop before he walked out of the office. "I don't think the letter is from Lily, yes, the pictures are hers but the letter, I can't tell," I said immediately Adrian walked out. "Yeah, the female my mate and mate cousin talked about couldn't be too careless to break up with someone that she cares about just like that without having a good conversation with him.""Yeah; I still can't believe she will send a letter and pictures to me, and even shut her mind immediately she opened it, I think she wanted to send me a mind-
Adrian: My hands were trembling staring at the pictures on the desk, the alpha didn't tell me that alpha Zeus was coming to the pack that evening, he only asked me to come to his office to pick up some documents that I was supposed to fix last night but I couldn't do that. I was too shattered to think straight after watching Lily leave with that asshole of alpha, I wanted to go back there this morning but Alpha Todd told me not to go, and that if there was anything he would let me know. Even though I didn't go there, I was practically on the telephone all night, checking if Lily called or if Zeus heard anything from Lily. All my calls were answered by Caleb, his beta, for some reason, I couldn't be mad at the beta even though I knew he had feelings for my girl, we both were hurting, he was breaking for the woman he loved but couldn't love him back while I was hurting for the woman that loves me but I couldn't get. Just less than two days and I was already feeling dejected. I was l
