Nora POV As I turned around to see who just spoke, I sensed her presence. The words mixed with undeniable grudges and the ferocious aura filling the entire place. Aria Davies. His chosen mate. She is the daughter of Elder Davies and she was my sworn rival who also had a crush on Carlos. I found out from my father that he accepted her after the coronation. Aria was the perfect choice for a strong Luna. She was a fierce warrior who could protect alongside her mate. She was the one he had replaced me with. I could feel her eyes on me, burning with anger and jealousy.Aria had made my life a living hell alongside her minions when she found out I was without a wolf. She was always envious that Carlos gave me attention way back. I kept my head down, trying to avoid her gaze. But I could sense her approaching me. Her steps were light, but her presence was heavy with tension.“ Isn't this the pathetic wannabe Luna?" She sneered, her eyes were an embodiment of envy. I wondered why she was
Nora POV“ I am still waiting, Nora."With a jerk, the familiar voice woke me up from my deep slumber. I cursed under my breath as I seemed to be running late. I had fallen asleep after I finished dinner. “ It had better be a good reason or I promise to kill you!" I swore, getting ready to sneak out. I brought out another potion that Elder Silvarum had given me and poured it all over my body.He called it an invisibility potion.I snuck out so I could get to the border before midnight. My mind was filled with different reasons why Karen would come to the border. Was something wrong over there?At exactly five minutes later, I saw a shadow perfectly hidden in the dark. If I hadn't trained under his supervision, it would have been impossible to spot him out. Except I was an Alpha or high ranking Lycan.“ Karen-"“ Shush!" He whispered, staring around the vicinity. After he was sure I wasn't followed or being watched, he beckoned to me.“ Can't it wait?" I asked as soon as we got to a s
CARLOS POVAfter I left her in the hallway, I took Aria with me. I wanted Nora to feel hurt, seeing me with another woman but that damn woman didn't bulge. Infact, she looked mockingly at me with Aria.I growled, pushing Aria away as soon as we got out of Nora's sight. I still can't believe I was trying to make my ex-mate jealous. I was supposed to fucking move on.“ Carl, why are you so mean to me?" Aria asked, her eyes suddenly becoming glassy.“ And what exactly do you mean?" I flared, casting her a stern look." It's her, right? She is your mate…" Aria said bitterly, her lips tightly clasped in anger.“ Aria!!" I growled, hiding the obvious truth. Was it that obvious that Nora was my mate?“ Stop shoving me off with your threats, Carl. I know everything. You obviously rejected her and she committed-"“ If you don't shut the hell up, I won't mind separating your body from that foul mouth of yours!" This time, I held her throat tightly as she struggled.My eyes bore through her stub
Carlos POV I was still fuming with anger as I walked through the dense forest.“ I see no reason why you are still so angry, Carlos." That was Kyle, his words making the anger escalate. "Are you kidding me, Kyle? What was she thinking, coming out here alone at night? Doesn't she have any idea how dangerous it is? Rogues lurking around every corner, just waiting to pounce... and she just waltzed in here without fear?” I blurted out, angry at no one in particular.She is damn too careless, so reckless... It's like she wants to get herself killed!“ You hated her, right? Aren't you being hypocritical?" Kyle continues questioning me."I-I never said I hated her. Besides, I just can't stand by and watch her getting killed? Let her stay safe, but no, she just keeps putting herself in harm's way... it's like she is trying to punish me or something!”Kyle let out a scoff." Punish you? You are just something else, Carlos. Stick to the perfect mate you want and leave Nora alone.”And then he
CARLOS POVAs soon as I left the office, I made my way to Roseflower apartment with Justin who was already fully awake. “ Carl, what if your mate sees us? Your mate is damn scary." He feigned a look of fear, as he stared around. I rolled my eyes at him. “ She has a name, Justin. Could you stop calling her my mate?”Listening to people referring to Aria as my mate had always pissed me off for no obvious reason. It was indeed my choice to choose her, but why was I so against her?" And she is your mate, too. You know, you are the first person I have seen who vehemently denies his mate after accepting her.”I ignored his ranting, making my way inside the apartment. There was a dimly lit hallway inside the apartment that leads to the main area. As soon as I walked through the long hallway, the sound of blaring music filled the air. It was a secret clubhouse. I walked briskly to a secluded spot with enough view to see all
NORA POVThe rays from the morning light hit me hard as my eyes fluttered open. I yawned, stretching my tired body but a grinning face made me jump from my bed.“ Jay!" I grunted, giving him a morning glare. “ You scared the shit out of me."“ Did I?" He grinned wider.“ Isn't it obvious? And what the hell are you doing in my room so early?" I scolded, sitting my ass on my bed.“ Early? Nora, the sun had risen more than two hours ago." He rolled his eyes, sitting down comfortably on my couch.“ Don't you have work to do?" I asked, trying to get him out of my room.“ I will soon be off. I just came to remind you that your training starts tomorrow morning. You can rest only for today." His tone was final. Why does everyone want me to train badly? “ I think I would just go and jog first." I responded, yawning again. I had woken up a little late after what happened last night. After getting home last night, I snuck back into my room. And not until the early hours of today, did I fall as
Nora POVAria's grip on my neck had become suffocating and all I wanted to do was push her off but perhaps I used too much force as what happened next was too fast to comprehend.But at that same instance, I felt a presence behind me and without turning my back I knew who it was. What I don't understand was his reason for coming here again.“ Karen-" But before I could even process his presence, he seemed to push my back slightly as if transferring his strength to me. To the onlookers, it would seem as though he transferred his energy to me, shooting out to "push" Aria with a burst of force. Aria stumbled backward, her eyes wide with surprise, as she crashed into a nearby tree trunk.With a loud bang and the shattering sounds of broken bones, I stood frozen, my eyes fixed on the flying figure of Aria. Her painful grunts and growls could be heard all over the training ground.Karen just saved me. The sound of the impact echoed through the training ground, and all eyes turned to the
Nora POV“ Stay the hell away from her!"I turned around to see a fuming Justin, advancing towards us swiftly. He moved toward me, dragging me to his side while baring his fangs at Karen. Walking behind him was Alpha Carlos whose eyes were hooked on the same Karen.“ The beta of the Eagle Pack sure knows how to welcome a distinguished guest!" Karen sneered, placing his hands in his pocket.My brother was about to retort when I quickly delved in." Bro, he was sent by the Lycan King to deliver a message.” That stopped Justin and even got the attention of Alpha Carlos, who stepped forward. Karen must have guessed his Alpha aura and knew that he was my once rejected mate. “ Sorry for the reception. I heard I was getting delegate from the Lycan Kingdom but I never expected to see you here,” Alpha Carlos stated, stretching his hands for a handshake.I could sense hostility oozing from my teacher and my rejected mate. What I don't understand was why Alpha Carlos was getting hostile toward
