I am Alora Thomas, as far as I can remember my life has been hell, I do remember a time my life was like a bed of roses. It was just me and my mum against the world, she took care of me and I kept a smile on her face.
Well all things good has an end and mine ended too fast, I was four when Willam came into our lives. He was the sweetest, I never had a father until he came, he was everything I wished for, I could finally talk about my ‘father’ to my friends. Yes we’re just kids but we did talk a lot.
My mom loved him so much and so did he. I was always the third wheel on their dates until I was eight, he began to change, he acted differently, either it was because of poor grades (B-) I couldn’t get anything lower or I didn’t clean the entire house.
I didn’t have time for school, how could I when I was the slave of my own house and for some reason my mother didn’t find out. The day I tried to tell her was the day he sold me to a prostitution firm over seas.
“This is where you belong, you filthy creature!.” He told me as he dropped me at the ship.
I served as a prostitute and slave for two years. I lost my chastity at age thirteen to a man I didn’t know,that was the most brutal thing I experienced.
That day a huge bulky man walked into the motel, from the way he acted he wasn’t new here, he walked in and demanded for someone new, fresh and young. He wanted a virtuous girl.
I was seated on the ground hugging my knees and crying when a woman with a cigarette in her mouth came in. She looked around all of us, locked up in a small room.
“Her!.” The woman said, I looked up and saw she was pointing at me.
Two men pulled me up and dragged me, I was kicking and struggling to get free from them, each of them held one of my small arms. I pleaded and cried but they didn’t listen to a word I said.
“Please I will do anything just let me go!!.” I cried.
“Okay beautiful, just do me a favor.” The woman said as she pinched my cheek.
I nodded.
“Take her in,boys!!.” The woman said with a mischievous smile.
I broke into tears again.
An hour and a half later I was coiled up on a huge bed,my body was aching, I couldn’t move a single muscle. I laid in a pool of sweat??, water?. Blood!!.
I managed to turn my head, I used my lifeless hands to touch my leg, I saw the blood I laid in and immediately passed out.
“Hey, wake up!!.”
I opened my eyes when I felt a strong arm around my waist and another gripping my cheek. I screamed when I saw a huge man, he forcefully took me, I cried for days with the same thing happening over and over again, I was abused on a daily basis. Once I thought it was over, another came in worse than the other.
‘Mom is gonna save me!.’ I said to myself, I kept on saying that particular line till I lost hope, she wasn’t coming, I was alone in this cruel world.
At fifteen I escaped through the help of a man named Rocco. Rocco was a constant customer at the motel, he always asked for me so I made a deal with him. If he helped me out, I was his for life and he did.
Once I was out it took me four months to plan an escape and ran away ever since I lived on the streets I never went back to prostitution.
I made a vow to myself to get back at that werewolf called my step father, I made up my mind to execute him, to make him feel the pain I felt, the times I cried and longed for my mother, I would make him pay for all my suffering and more.
Aiden POV
Marshal was late for an important meeting with the press. I felt like killing him when he informed me he was late because he was out rescuing a girl.
“Where is she?!!.” I asked Marshal with a harsh tone.
He opened the door, immediately a scent, a fascinating smell hit my nose, I looked up at the girl he brought in. I was beyond shocked, I couldn’t speak or move.
She’s a light skinned girl, with big brown eyes and scarlet lips. I heard her speak in a mesmerising voice.
‘What’s wrong with me?!!.’ I scolded myself.
I watched as Marshal spoke to her calmly, she was hurt!!. How could she be hurt this bad??, what happened??.
Marshal offered to get her something to drink. Once he was out of the room, I saw her move her head and her eyes fell on me. It was like a spell had been casted on me. I couldn’t react,move or speak.
I watched her gallop down the tea after sniffing it, soon she lost consciousness, I offered to tuck her in and Marshal said nothing as he watched me.
I carefully picked her up, I felt a magnetic spark when our skins touched, I looked at her sleeping face, her light skin complemented her black long hair that were scattered on her shoulders.
I put her down and pulled the duvet over her body till her chin.
With my hands on her upper arm I could still feel that relaxing sensation, I didn’t want to leave, I sat on the side table while I stroked her face gently, the sparks I felt was something I had never felt.
“You seem attached.” Marshal said with a smirk on his face.
Damn it!, he's still here, Marshal my Beta and best friend, we grew up together. I can't remember when we first met, though I had heard different tales about our friendship.
“I thought you had a meeting to attend to!.” I scolded, I was trying my best to sound harsh but my voice came out calm.
“Actually we have a meeting to attend.” He corrected me with that smirk still on the side of his lips
I inhaled which made things worse. My nose was filled with her scent. My Beast Mosley was dancing in my mind, he was asking to be released.
“What’s she?!.” I asked Marshal with my eyes still on her.
“Human.”
My eyes widened. Human?!, but her scent?What was that?.
“She smells like chocolate and honey.” I blurted.
I could feel his gaze on the back of my head. He sniffed the air.
“I don’t smell it.” He informed me.
“Her scent is different, she’s different. She’s like ..”
Before I could complete my sentence Marshal spoke. “You don’t think she’s your mate?.”
I hadn’t thought of that but at the mention he said the word ‘Mate’ I felt my heart thomp fast, have I found her?.
“You may be right!.” I replied.
I knew he was one hundred percent right, the skin to skin contact confirmed it, my heart was filled with joy, I had found her.
I walked out of the hotel , we got into a car that had been waiting for us, the road was blocked, there was traffic on every street in town. I was definitely not going to make it to the office.
“Call Rob!.” I ordered Marshal and he did it at once.
Rob is the commissioner of transportation , if there was anyone who could clear up this traffic it was Rob, there was a protest up ahead with people holding placards screaming and dancing around, causing terrible traffic.
“Alpha Aiden asked that the traffic be cleared immediately!.” Marshall said immediately Rob's secretary picked up the phone.
“I will relate it to him right away Mr George!.”
Marshal hung up the phone and nodded at me
“Alora?!.” Alora’s mother called out!. “Baby?!.” She called out and pushed Alora’s room door open. Both her and Helios Alora’s father was stunned by the sight. Alora laid on the pile of what used to be her room, it was a mess, with her under her blanket. Helios pulled the duvet off her. “Are you okay?!.” Helios asked Alora. Alora looked up at him with sharp gold eyes. Her father pulled into his arms and cradled her like a newborn. “Baby?!.” He called her. “What’s wrong?.” Alora buried her face in her fathers arms. “What’s wrong with her?!.” Winfred asked. ^^^ Alora’s POV I got a heartbreaking news from school, I couldn’t believe it! My best friend is dead!!. Shot by a hunter!. I couldn’t concentrate during my last four lessons. I was like a shell of myself, I wasn’t able to move, hear or speak. Teachers kept calling me out but I was too far away to hear them, I could still see their lips moving but I didn’t hear them, I assumed they were still blabbing about the topics of
Aiden POV. I and Marshal walked into the company building, all the staff stood from their desks, the ones already standing stopped what they were doing to greet me and Marshal, I was in too much of a hurry to answer their greetings. Myself and Marshal walked staring to my private elevator which led straight to my office which was on the eighth floor so was the conference room. Once I stepped out of the elevator I could hear the voices of the shareholders. They seemed to be having a crisis there, so I moved swiftly to the door. Marshal opened it for me and I walked in. The moment I stepped in the chatter stopped, my Aura was enough to short them up without me saying a thing. I sat at my usual seat, while Marshal sat beside me. “Shall we begin??.” I asked with a cold tone. “Yes indeed,” Mr Alfred said. “Mr Alfred I need the report on the ongoing project in India.” I demanded with my eyes on him. He seemed shaky, he flipped through the pages of his portfolio, from the first page
“I am sorry if I upset you, I just wanted to know but that’s alright if you don’t want to share it.” Aiden said. I felt guilty when I heard his sad voice “I am sorry for being that way, it’s just that I had a tough time with my family and talking about it brings back memories I want to forget but I can’t.” I answered with a wounded heart, tears rolled down my eyes as I spoke. “I understand. But can you answer just this one question?ʻ.” What did he understand and another question??, just kill me already!. I nodded without breathing. I focused on my fingernails. “What’s a Mate?.” I looked up at him, his face had no emotions that I could read. I opened my mouth but no words came out, I tried again but nothing,I inhaled and exhaled. “The person is your missing rib, that piece that you had been searching for and finally found. someone that you can’t do without.” I inhaled and held it, then I continued with images of my mom and William flashing before my eyes. “Someone you would go th
I couldn’t move my eyes from his face, it was too enchanting. He looked out of this world, he looked like he was created out of every woman’s dream man. I heard a phone ring, clearly it wasn’t mine, Aiden looked away, apparently it was his phone, he answered the call and spoke harshly. With him on the phone I could breathe freely. I inhaled and exhaled as though once he was done with the call I wouldn’t be allowed to breathe. “Meet us at the mall!.” Aiden replied to whatever the person on the other end said. “You know the one I am referring to!.” He said harshly, then hung up. I looked up at him and then quickly looked away. I felt his hand around my shoulder. I shivered when I felt like our skin was magnetic. I could tell that a jerk was staring at us through the rearview mirror, a growl erupted from Aidens chest, that made me jump and as well made that jerk stop staring. “I am sorry love.” He said with those endearments that made my heart skip a bit. I nodded at him. ‘What’s w
Alora’s POV My eyes flashed with anger when my phone hit the ground, it was definitely dead now!, I immediately pulled myself together. This was no longer high school. It was about time I thought this bitch a lesson she would never forget. “Seems you now have a sugar daddy that pays your bills, I am sure without one you wouldn’t be able to pay for anything in here!.” Linda said with her black eyes flashing at me. She has always been a pain in the neck, it was time she got a taste of her own medicine. “Are you done talking?!.” I asked her. “Actually I am sure you can’t attract a rich man to be your sugar daddy!.” Linda said with a mucking tone. I was used to her insults what she said didn’t seem to bug or shake me as they initially use to, sometimes she sounded stupid and out of point. “Your point exactly?!!.” I asked as I crossed my hands on my chest waiting for her to run out of words, that would be easy as she didn’t bring her goons. “My point is you’re into prostitution now!
I felt my heart aching, I felt tears steering up in my eyes. I wasn’t gonna cry not because of a man I didn’t know!, I am not that weak, not because of this. “Oh nice to meet you Alice!.” I said with the most convincing smile I could offer. I sat beside them, I watched as Alice played with Aidens blonde hair. ^^^^ { This is horrible!!.} Marshal said through the mind-link. { Luna is extremely quiet, she hasn’t said a thing !.} Liam mind-linked Marshal. {I think she’s uncomfortable with Alice being here!.} Marshal replied. {who wouldn’t be, Alice is a show off!} ^^^ I couldn’t take the display of affection! I was a fool to think he would love me. For a moment I thought he would love me like William loved my mom. He might have been horrible to me but he was a great example of true love. I could never be with someone like him, he was meant for a woman with class and a good family name, not me!!. Linda was right. I was a low class girl who couldn’t attract a man like Aiden. I am n
“You’re mistaken, I am not who you think I am!!.” I cried. “Please don’t hurt my friend!!.” I pleaded. “I can’t be wrong!!.” Aiden told me. Aiden grabbed my waist, and pulled me into his embrace. “Let my friend go!.”I told Aiden. “Please don’t hurt her!!.” “I wouldn’t, Alora please understand, you are my missing rib!.” “No!!, no Aiden, don't use my words against me!!.” I pleaded. Tears ran down my eyes. “But you were right!. every word you said was exactly right!.” Aiden told me. I pushed him away. With tears in my eyes, I saw Liam walk back in. “Aiden!, I can’t, I can’t do this!!.” I told him. “I can’t bear to be with a werewolf!!.” I felt the temperature in the room drop, I felt my breath size. “He is a Lycan, not a werewolf!.” Liam told me. “I had a terrible experience with your kind!!, I can’t, I just can’t !.” I said, trying to leave. I felt something hard hit me, it wasn’t someone but my own emotions, I felt memories I had buried, I felt thoughts and experiences that
Alora’s POV Mira sat quietly on a couch, she looked frightened. I wonder what they did to make her calm and scared as well. The moment she saw me she got up immediately but it was as though something scared her away. What’s wrong with her?!, I turned around to see Aiden and Marshal standing behind me and by myself Liam who was smiling. “Can I speak to her privately?!.” I asked . “You know there is no difference right!!.” Liam asked as he stared at Mira. He is right they were still going to hear everything we say, but Mira didn’t know what I did. “But still leave!!.” I said. They both nodded and left except Aiden, I knew I couldn’t push him away so I let him in. “Mira are you okay?!.” I asked. Mira nodded and smiled at me, Aiden was few steps away from me. “That’s great, I am going back to the restaurant to work, I might come check on you after my closing time!.” I informed her, Mira nodded one more time. I felt like I was talking to a five year old who was scared and I was t
