"Is he still pestering you?" Killian asked through gritted teeth as we passed by the gym where the gamma used to train. I looked away when Brandon, the gamma chief, catcalled me again.I wanted to give him the middle finger, but I'm trying to stop myself because I don't want to look for trouble anymore.Brandon lifted weights, and when he was done, all the gammas applauded him. He shouted, "Yeah! You see that?!" to all his colleagues and looked like a proud beast."Let's just go, Killian," I whispered and grabbed Killian's collar when I saw Brandon walking towards us."Nathalie! Clean the gym right now! I heard the royal clan is coming to check the facilities of our pack!" Lady Sabrina, the head omega, called to me. She looked stressed already, and I didn't want to add more stress to her.But wait, did she mention the royal clan?"Killian, what are considered the royal clan?" I asked Killian as we were cleaning the gym. I was lucky that Brandon was nowhere to be seen in this place.Ki
"Lycan Prince Steven seems to always go back here even if we clean the whole room. Does he want it to be sparkling clean? Ugh! Such a damn hassle!" Lady Sabrina said in frustration as the omega cleaners gathered around for a meeting. I didn't speak and let them converse. Killian was just beside me. After the incident yesterday, he kept on asking if I was alright or not.Of course, I told him that I am okay.Even though he wanted to punch the gamma chief, Brandon, he couldn't. "That fucking bastard! He should know his place! This was never been the first sexual harassment case he had ever done, and he did not learn!"It was comforting yet overwhelming.The conversation shifted suddenly, drawing me back to the present."It's alright if Lycan Steven comes here very often! I could get a glimpse of his handsome face!"The topic had turned to Lycan Steven, and the room was abuzz with excitement and admiration.Someone giggles and agrees. "Yes, you are right! I haven't seen him in ages whe
Lycan Steven followed behind me in the corridor towards the comfort room. My heart betrayed me because it kept on pumping nervously. The air was thick, and I couldn't breathe properly when I started speaking to break the silence."Here is the comfort room," I said, pointing to the brown wooden door in front of me. He stared at me intently and did not move. I heaved a deep sigh. "Take your time, Your Highness," I said the last two words with a mocking tone. I couldn't help it. Lycan Steven took a step forward and held the doorknob of the room when he grabbed my wrist and pushed me against the wall. As Lycan Steven's lips crashed against mine, I felt a surge of conflicting emotions coursing through me.Anger, fear, and a deep-seated loathing for the man who had caused me so much pain. His touch, once so familiar, now felt like a violation, a reminder of everything he had done to me in the past.You rejected me, remember?I blamed him for Hazel's death. If he hadn't entered my normal
"I'm sorry but I'm not going to the party," I told Lady Sabrina and the rest of the omegas talking about the masquerade party that Lycan Steven had invited them to.It has been three days since Lycan Steven visited our pack. They were excited to plan for the masquerade party."What? You should be there!" Lady Sabrina insisted and sighed."Wait, are you perhaps thinking about what to wear? Don't worry! We will help you get a dress!""No, I'm not really into parties. I'm so sorry, Lady Sabrina."I smiled at her. The omegas huddled around me, their expressions a mixture of disappointment and determination."But Nathalie, you can't miss this! It's the event of the year," Elara, one of the omegas, exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement."Yeah, think about the beautiful dresses, the masks, the dancing!" another chimed in, trying to entice me with the glamour of the event.Lady Sabrina stepped forward, her gaze soft yet persuasive. "Nathalie, we understand parties aren't your thing, b
The grandeur of the ballroom, with its high ceilings and sparkling chandeliers, felt surreal, a contrast to the chaos brewing within me.Here I was in the middle of the party, my face absurdly smeared with the icing of a hastily grabbed cupcake.This was not how I imagined attending one of the most prestigious gatherings of our kind, yet desperation had driven me to embarrass myself!The sweetness of the icing lingered on my lips, a constant reminder of the lengths I was willing to go to avoid detection by Lycan Steven.I don't want him to think that I am here because of him. I was just forced by my co-omegas, alright!The very thought of him, with his piercing gaze and commanding presence, sent a shiver down my spine.Where is Killian, by the way?As I navigated through the throngs of elegantly dressed guests, a subtle shift in the atmosphere caught my attention. Shit. It was Lycan Steven and the unfamiliar man!They were behind me, their words muffled by the din of the ballroom but
As I walked through the grand ballroom, in golden light and echoing with laughter and chatter, I felt overwhelmed.The room was suffocating, crowded with elegantly dressed guests who seemed to be enjoying the party.I was not.I wanted to get out here.Finally, I saw my friend, Killian! He was surrounded by a small circle of admirers, his attention completely captured by the girl I had seen him talking to earlier.It was the woman that I pointed out to him when we talked.I smiled and decided not to interfere with them.Where is Lady Sabrina, or perhaps, Alpha Cosma? I should bid goodbye to them first before going out.In my haste, I collided with someone stepping unexpectedly into my path—a woman with striking blonde hair.Her expression twisted into disdain the moment we touched."I beg your pardon," I whispered, my voice barely audible over the din. But it was like throwing oil on a fire."Watch where you're going, you clumsy bitch!" she sneered, her voice dripping with venom."I'm
My expression said it all. Lovely laughed wickedly and covered her mouth. "Oh my gosh, I can't believe a lowly omega like you is mated to royalty! How is this possible?"I so wanted to claw her flawless face."Lovely, you really don't learn a lesson. Get the hell out of here. Now," Lycan Steven's voice echoed in the secluded area."Not until you confirm what I said is true," Lovely replied, her voice serious now.Lovely stepped forward and tried to touch my face. I attempted to look away, but her grip on my chin was tight. "None of you will reply to me? Alright, then. Let's experiment.""Steven!" I hissed at him, trying to mask my nervousness with a laugh. "I don't understand why you royals are so obsessed with your titles in the world of packs.""Of course, we should be proud. We are rare breeds, unlike a lowly omega like you..." Lovely interjected.I was so done with her!"Yes, you have royal blood in your veins, but your attitude is worse than that of a lowly omega!"She suddenly s
Steven held true to his promise, but the thought of returning to my pack with him filled me with dread, knowing it would only fan the flames of gossip and speculation.What will I explain to Alpha Cosma?!The last thing I crave is the spotlight.But I know Steven, with his magnetic presence, seems to draw it effortlessly, not just within our own ranks but across multiple packs.To many, he's a prized trophy—a beacon of desire for countless women who yearn for the chance to be chosen as his mate.Throughout our car ride back to the Starlight Sentinels Pack, I remained enveloped in silence."We have arrived," Lycan Steven announced. He was the one who was driving the whole three-hour drive.His eyes were tired, but he hid it with a small smile. "You alright?"I nodded at him and attempted to open the door, but it was locked. My eyes bulged out when I saw him getting out of the car and running towards my door.As I watched Lycan Steven open the door of the gleaming, luxurious car parked
