ALICE POV
He glanced over to me. I couldn’t help but notice how his blue eyes seemed to pierce into my soul. He was my one-night stand! As if he could hear my thoughts, his eyes glazed over me all of a sudden and I scurried away from him. Thud! Thud! Thud! I could hear my heart beating fast. He grabbed my arm, turning me around to look at me. He stared at me intensely and said “I remember you, you are the girl from the bar. I know you remember me so don’t try denying” he said in a stern voice. Alpha Lucas stared at him in bewilderment. “You must be mistaken Beta Lucien, she’s an omega” he laughed dryly. Beta lucien? I’ve heard that name before somewhere in the pack and it's rumored that he’s the most ruthless beta in all of North, he’s even more ruthless than the alpha of the pack. What mess did I get myself into? “I’m not mistaken, Alpha Lucas,” he said sharply looking at Alpha Lucas. Alpha Lucas was short of words, that was the first time I saw him quiet. “You are pregnant, I know it's mine,” he told me. He didn’t even give room to deny or say anything. I just stood there in shock. “Yes, I'm pregnant” I replied in a low voice. Still holding my arm, he turned to alpha Lucas and said “I want her, I don’t have a mate and I want her to be my mate.” He said it like there was no room for argument. “As you can see Lucien, she is a beauty and very compliant. You can only have her on one condition Beta Lucien. Your pack has some of the strongest fighters, I need some of your armies and also some land” he told Lucien. I lowered my head and could not look him in the eye. Even though this is the father of my child, I can’t believe my uncle is so eager to trade me out. It breaks my heart but at least I’m out of this house for good. Lucien might be a beta but he seems like a very powerful man. “Fine, consider it done,” he said to Alpha Lucas, shaking his hands. “The payment will arrive in a few days” “My apologies….I thought we would receive it on your arrival?” I looked at my uncle and I could tell he was getting angry. But something in him was afraid, especially when Lucien’s annoyed gaze turned to him. He was trying to remain polite towards Beta Lucien. I couldn’t remember my uncle ever being polite. “Yes to my pack. Are you trying to negotiate with me?” Lucien said firmly. My uncle quickly shook his head. “No, of course not. Just a miscommunication trust me, I know how important it can be as an Alpha to make sure the deal is worth it” “Yes, just a reminder Lucas, she is my property now. She no longer belongs to you and never will again. She will never return here, Dead or alive, she belongs to our pack” Dead or Alive. I looked at my uncle and his eyes flickered to me in slight hesitation before he smiled. “That’s fine” “We will be leaving by dawn, so get ready,'' Lucien told me in a sharp tone, leaving no room for argument. I nodded and headed to my room to pack my things. I'm finally leaving this house. My things were packed and ready, so we got to the car. One step, two steps….I moved towards their car. But with every step I took, I became more scared and uncertain about my future. The ride to the pack was a bit awkward but thankfully was silent because I didn’t feel like talking at the moment. “What were you doing at the bar on that day?” Lucien asked without glancing at me. I stayed quiet for a minute deciding if I should tell the truth or lie to him, I decided to go with the former. “Something happened that’s why,” I replied vaguely staring out the window. “When I want you to speak I expect you to look at me and answer my questions,” Lucien said in a cold voice that made me tremble. At that moment I knew he was being “kind” to me. If it was any other person, he would have killed them. “My mate rejected me because I'm an omega and chose my cousin.” I sighed staring at him. He nodded his head and turned back to face the road and the ride continued in silence. We arrived at the hallowed pack and got to the packhouse. “Welcome to my pack, Alice,” Lucien announced before we came down from the car and headed inside the house. The moment we stepped foot into the house, it became eerily quiet. The guards and the servants had their eyes cast to the floor, a show of submission. “Stella,” he called out one if the servants and a young girl came forward. “Yes Beta,” she respond with her head bowed. “Take her to her room and call the doctor to check the baby, “ he ordered before storming upstairs without giving me a word.Alice povThe maid, Stella, led me up to the room and it was beautiful. The bedroom was painted all white with floral wallpaper in one corner of the wall. The bed was situated in the middle, a dresser stood on one side of the wall, and a plush armchair near the window.A few moments later my door jolted open and I jumped to my feet out of fear. Beta Lucien walked into the room followed by an older man with a kind face. The man looks to be in his 60s. He had a lot of gray hair surrounding his hair and face, but he had such kind eyes.“Sit!” Lucien ordered.I hesitated but I sat down quickly. I glanced and Lucien and his gaze was unwavering, staring at me like a predator watching his prey. There is something about him that makes the hairs on my neck stand.“This is Dr hale, he will check on you and the baby. Don’t give him trouble,” he gestured to the old man.All my life I’ve always wanted to escape from my uncle but now, I want to go back. I thought there would be an escape, from my y
Alice pov“The mating ceremony is this weekend and I can't wait to see who my mate is.” The first girl said and then it hit me that the mating ceremony is coming soon. The mating ceremony takes place every 2 years and the Shadowclan pack is hosting it this year. Maybe I can finally get a mate and be free from this slavery i hope he could be my ticket out of this hell of a house once and for all. Who would even want a weak omega like me in the first place?A sigh escaped my lips as I did my chores. I returned to my room and started looking for what to wear for the mating ceremony. “Alice!” I heard a loud shriek from downstairs and I immediately knew it was my cousin, stacey. I rushed down to her room and she was standing with a pile of clothes with her face red with rage. Stacey is my cousin, my very spoiled cousin at that. She is the only child of my uncle Alpha Lucas and his Luna, Elizabeh Lockheart.Stacey is rude and bad mannered, especially to me but her parents see nothing wr
I could feel the heart shattering pain i was feeling from the broken mate bond intensify and my head started spinning.Alpha adrian stepped on the stage with a smug look on his face. Tears kept on rolling down my eyes as i stared at him. I didn’t know why but the thought of him choosing another person apart from me- his fated mate made me sick in my stomach.“I would specifically like to thank alpha lucas for this incredible opportunity to be here and honor our pact.” His cold voice sent chills down my spine. “And I promise to take good care of your daughter, Stacey Grey,” he said smiling.“I’m glad you made a great choice Alpha Adrian, the union of our packs won't only bring harmony but will bring a lot of benefits to us. You will never regret your choice.” My uncle Alpha Lucas said, beaming with smiles.As he said that everything seemed to stop. He chose stacey over me. Of course he would choose her over me because she was an alpha not a weak omega like me.Is this why my uncle agre
LUCIEN POVI returned to my pack and the girl from that night at the bar was still fresh in my mind. I can remember her black dress that hugged her curves like a second skin, her long brown hair, and her pink lips.But I couldn’t help but remember her eyes, they lacked the usual spark. I could detect from a mile that she was troubled. I wanted to reject her advances, the way I usually reject whores that walk up to me. But at the look of her eyes, I couldn’t help but accept. To give her what she wanted. After my mate was taken away from me, I couldn’t help but hate love. I’m not a man of love, most people call me the most feared Beta because of how ruthless I am. I’m seated in my study, waiting for the only news that could brighten my day. I heard a small knock on my door before I saw a grey-haired man peek into the room.“Did I let you in?” I said in a gruff voice which made me shiver.“N-No Sir, I thought I-““Shut up. next time you do that, your head will be delivered to your fami
ALICE POVI woke up to the sound of beeping machines and a piercing pain in my head. I slowly sat up on the bed and realized I was at a hospital. The first person I laid my eyes on was alpha Adrian, he stood at the door with his arms crossed and staring at me with disgust on his face. “What…What happened to me?” I said in a weak voice.“I’m very disappointed in you, Alice,” he said and I looked at him in confusion.“I don’t understand, what did I do?” I stared at him with my brows furrowed.“It's been just 3 weeks since I rejected you and you’ve been going around with another man huh?” He walked over to me and grabbed my chin harshly.“What are you talking about? Get your hands off me.” I hit his hand very hard and he pulled back. He raked his hair with his fingers and looked at me with disgust. “Your mate hit me with a bowl of hot soup and that is what landed me in this hospital in the first place, and you are here telling me this nonsense. Thank goodness I don’t have any scratche
