Third person’s POV
“Did you notice that or was it just me?” Lucas blurted immediately he was sure Andrea’s footsteps had faded down to the third floor, and she wouldn’t be able to hear their conversations.She smelled unusual to him today. She smelt like roses and honey, which was the alluring scent he had ever perceived into his system. Lucas immediately knew that she was his mate.The two of them turned eighteen six months back. They had expected to get their mates since then because usually, they would get the scent immediately after turning eighteen but they didn’t.Damon didn’t care that much, but Lucas did because he was going to be the Alpha.When she came into the room, he almost didn’t believe it was true. He tried to deny it, but was sure when his brother insulted her mother and he saw the hurt in her eyes, then had the strong urge to stand up and knock his brother’s teeth off.“What did you notice, Lucas? Her tits are getting bigger?” Damon scoffed, picking up the book that was laying on the bed.Lucas gritted his teeth. He had a strong urge to act on impulse and hurt him, but he held back. He didn’t even know if Andrea would want to be his mate yet, even though she didn’t have a choice.No one rejects the sons of the Alpha. They were the prize, and she was just a nobody Omega.“She is our mate. Andrea is our mate.”“What?” Damon turned to face him, disgusted by what he had just said.“Don’t tell me you didn’t smell it.”Damon scoffed. He had smelt it, but he tried to push it back to his head and convince himself that maybe she had just sprayed perfume.But her mother couldn’t afford it, so how could she have?The twins have always shared everything their entire lives. The only problem was Damon. He was the devil amongst them that always spoiled every plan they had. He would never agree to be mated to Andrea.He had always dreamt of getting mated to someone like a warrior’s daughter, or someone of the higher rank. He would rather stay single his entire life than have an Omega as his mate.“No, I didn’t smell it,” Damon lied. “She is a fucking used rug. Why would I want to be mated to an outcome of a dirty club one-night stand?”Lucas growled in response to his brother insulting his mate.“Goodness, don’t tell me you’re already starting to get protective of her.” Damon scolded, then let out a chortle.“We are getting mated to that girl. The bitterness in your heart is probably what is stopping you from feeling it.” Lucas hissed.The both of them have been told that they would have the same mate ever since they were young.“Have you seen that girl? Do you think she is ready to get mated?” Damon scoffed.“She will. Nobody could resist this.” Lucas smirked, flexing his thick muscles.His brother rolled his eyes. Lucas never failed to show off his gorgeous body, which had the women in his pack groveling at his feet.But he didn’t like any of them, neither did he attempt to sleep with them even though they practically threw themselves at him.He wanted to wait to have his virginity taken by his fated mate, unlike his brother that has probably fucked half of the town.Lucas believed sex was a sacred thing and should be done within the sacred mate bond.“She probably would prefer to get mated to a donkey than you.” Damon scoffed, trying to humble his brother, but that was an impossible mission.“Wait and see,” Lucas smirked.He was very confident about it. He had never found Andrea ogling at him, or she was just good at hiding it.Despite that, he knew that no woman could resist him. He was the most attractive man in the pack, and also the crown prince.Damon scoffed, shaking his head. He wondered what was going on in his head that he agreed to accept her as his mate. She was a werewolf Omega and they had been treating like trash their entire lives.They turned her into their punching bags and made her do inhumane dirty work, and she took it all. After all of that, his brother still expected her to get mated to them.She wasn’t daft. Even though she was an Omega, she still knew getting mated to them would be the biggest mistake she would make in her life.She hated them just as much as they hated her, or maybe even worse. Lucas was delusional, and Damon was ready to bring him back to reality even if it took the entire night.“Listen, Lucas. I want you to listen to me. This girl is not our slave anymore. Immediately she realizes the power she has over us, she’s going to take it for granted,” he started, but his brother scoffed and looked away.“We have tormented her our entire life. For the love of God, we starved this girl for days and hit her whenever we had the chance to. You think she would just wake up tomorrow and decide to mate with us?”Lucas shrugged, “She doesn’t have a choice.”“Yes, she does. She is eighteen so she can leave the damn pack to another one. I am telling you, mark my words. She is going to reject us and we would stand in front of the whole pack looking like fools.” He warned his brother.Lucas’s mouth quirked when he realized that there was a possibility that Andrea would reject them. After all they did to her, she probably wanted to get revenge.That was the perfect place for it. She could reduce them to a bunch of laughingstocks just like they had reduced her to it her entire life.“Fuck!” Lucas cursed, running his fingers through his hair as he thought of the scenario.An Omega that was treated like a turd by everyone in the pack rejecting the two men everyone desired. They would lose their status as the most popular boys and school, and would probably have it hung over their heads till their very last breaths.“But there is still a chance,” Lucas tried to defend, but his brother shot him a dirty look.“You are not going to be down bad for this girl. You are an Alpha, so you will get a second chance mate. We will drive her out of the pack after the rejection.” Damon finalized.Lucas thought about it for a while, weighing the pros and cons. He didn’t have all day and with his brother’s blazing gaze on him, he decided to just go ahead with what his brother proposed.He took a breath in before he nodded, “Okay, fine. Deal.”“Good,” Damon smirked. He knew he would rather die than get humiliated by a werewolf Omega.He hated the Omegas in his pack, because all they ever did was to cause havoc in the pack and weigh it down with responsibilities. If he was going to be the next Alpha, then he would be sure to wipe them out by selling out to other packs.At least that way, he would get something out of them instead of letting the pack feed them when they had nothing to do after the pack.They didn’t produce warriors or other jobs that benefited the pack. They were just a bunch of weaklings that would end up becoming the pack maids or guards.If Damon got the chance, the first person he would sell was Andrea. He hated her ever since he laid his eyes on her. She was weak, unlike the rest of his mates.He was glad he had convinced Lucas to reject and kick her out of the pack and in a few days, she would be gone forever. She would be out of his hair once and for all.Andrea’s POV “You look beautiful, my dear.” My mother smiled, watching me as I twirled around in the long black dress she gifted me for my birthday.I liked it. It was easily one of the best clothes I’ve ever owned, but the trepidation and dread coursing through my veins didn’t allow me to feel happy. My chest felt empty and my hands have been shaking throughout the day. How would I contain the pain in my chest when I get rejected by my mate?On a normal basis, Omegas are usually mated to Alphas or people from a higher rank. Some of them get rejected if they are not up to their mate’s taste. It rarely happens but I know with me, it would.“Thanks, mum.” I sighed, sitting down at the edge of the bed.She noticed the tense look on my face and the erratic beating of my heart, so she leaned down and placed an assuring hand on my shoulder.“Baby, you don’t need to worry. The day would go perfectly for you.” She patted me, then leaned forward and placed a lingering kiss on my forehead.“N
Andrea’s POVThe guards at the border of the pack were scanty. I didn’t even bother going back to the pack house to collect my clothes because I knew my mother would meet me there.When I got to the border of the pack, I started to shift. I looked up at the moon. It was the full moon today, which meant that I could shift without breaking the bones in my body.I removed my clothes on the way and tied them around my neck, knowing I would need them later when I shifted back. The woods were cold and in case I needed to spend the night there, I don’t sleep naked. My wolf, Kira, started to howl unnecessarily. I could tell she was hurt by the pain of being rejected by two people at the same time. But if she continued, my mother could track me down.I didn’t want her to know where I went.“Shut up, Kira.” I hissed, as my body started to freely rush through the woods, just as I passed the pack’s border.Most of the pack guards were in the pack hall where the mating ceremony was going on. Even
Third person’s POV After the mating ceremony was over, the Alpha king was filled with rage. He had never been angry towards his sons like he was this way since their mother left. Ever since she left them to chase her career in another city, living him in the most excruciating pain he had ever felt in his life which was due to him getting separated from his mate, he put his all into raising his children the proper way.But tonight, they embarrassed him. They proved to be mannerless in front of the whole pack and disgraced a woman. That was the one of the things he frowned heavily upon. What annoyed him the most was that the lady was no one other than the daughter of the woman he loved. Alpha Damien had always had a crush on Sierra Coleman, who was Andrea’s mother. When she got pregnant and banished from the pack, he was heartbroken because he planned on divorcing his already pregnant wife for her. His wife was not a good woman. She was his mate too, but she cheated on him at every
Andrea’s POVThe twins. They were right in front of me, and were stopping me from joining another pack. For fuck’s sake, isn’t it what they wanted? Why were they now trying to stop me from joining the pack?They were so confusing.But I didn’t want to stay back to hear what they came here to say. All that I knew was that I was seconds away from joining this pack, and no one could stop me.“Let’s go ahead with it, my Alpha,” I said to him.His blood was dripping down as he watched between me and the lycan men that were standing at the threshold of his office, not knowing whose words to take.“This is an Omega from my pack,” Lucas started as he shifted back to his human form.I watched as his bones crack, forming back into his usual human shape. I wondered what it would be like if I could shift whenever I wanted.It would be so nice, and I won’t have to go through all of the pain werewolves go through before they shifted, if it wasn’t the full moon.“She came here, with the request of jo
Andrea’s POVI felt an incredible amount of rage course through my veins like lava. It felt like betrayal. My mother made them bring me back here because she wanted to get mated to the Alpha. Maybe she had forgotten all the hell I went through because of the royal family. Maybe she had forgotten how they had banished us because she made one mistake in her teenage years.They were not our people and they sure as hell didn’t love us. Or maybe she had forgotten that they were lycans and we were just the low Omega werewolves that weren’t even citizens of the pack because we were refugees.Albeit that, she still wanted to get mated to the king. My chest tightened, because of how selfish my mother was. How could she do this to me?I trotted back to the palace to face her. There were tears in my eyes from all that was happening to today. This was the birthday that was supposed to be the best in my life as it was going to introduce me to the life of adulthood, yet it is just filled with pain
Andrea’s POVIn the morning when I woke up, I looked out through the cracks of my windows that light was peeking through and sighed. I barely slept throughout the night because all I could think of was my new life.For the first time in my life, I was going to be alone and responsible for my life. I wasn’t going to do it knowing I had my mother to fall back to. I would be a full adult, making her own life decisions in this cruel world.I rolled off the bed and stood up to my feet then stretched, my bones making a satisfying crack. I had to start arranging my clothes into my bags before it was time for me to leave later.I headed towards the wardrobe and opened it up. I didn’t have many clothes, because most of them were torn and worn out. It was the courtesy of the twins who loved to tear my clothes and humiliate me for no apparent reason.Thinking of them alone brought my blood to a sizzling boil. I will finally be away from all of that. I couldn’t wait. I wished I had a way
Andrea’s POV After dinner, my mother dragged me back to our room. I expected her to be happy that I was staying back by instead, she looked worried. When we got inside, she banged the door behind us before she pulled me until we were close to the bed.“What was that?” She spoke out. “You really want to stay back, Andrea?” “Don’t you want me to?” I raised a brow in confusion about why she was even talking to me about this right now. I had a life to start as royalty here. It felt surreal. It would have been a different thing if the Alpha didn’t propose that I get the same treatment with them. But since he did, there was no way I was passing on this. Maybe sometime in the future I will leave but just not now.“Of course I did sweetheart. But you wanted a new life, and you’re staying back solely because of those boys. You are staying because you want to get revenge on them.” I didn’t even try to hide it, “Of course.” I nodded. “Baby. I don’t want you to be sucked into this bitterne
The look on Damon’s face was what I assumed death would look like when it was standing right in front of me, ready to take me with it. My limbs were shaking, knowing that he was going to hit me.He was going to hit me so hard my neck would break.“You sick little fuck. Are you crazy?” He bellowed, and I flinched.It was his fault. He shouldn’t have spoken to me about all the women he was shagging in the room that was going to be mine because I didn’t ask for that details. I certainly didn’t want to know. “I am sorry,” I apologized. I needed to get in and wash my body. The entire room was smelling of puke, which made me want to puke even more. Maybe it had to do with the fact that my body wasn’t used to eating this much in the morning.The only time I ate like this was by chance, or when I stole from them. Eating all of it now comfortably made me feel weird. Very weird.“If you puke on me again, you are going to see a very dark side of me.” He snarled, taking a step back from me. Th
Later in the evening, there were cheers coming from everywhere. Most of the pack members were there, cheering on for the person that was going to be the next strongest leader of the pack. Most of the people were cheering for Lucas, because he was the better twin. He was the nice twin while Damon was a jerk to almost every living thing that passed by him. Damon smirked as he put on his combat clothes, staring at himself in the mirror. To his side, Octavia stood there. She was cheering him on as she had passed the powers to him. If something happens to him, then she was going to be hurt by that too. It might even result in her death. But Octavia was too confident in her abilities that she was willing to risk it all. “You’re going to go in there and make me proud, Damon.” She nudged him. “Oh, don’t worry about that. I will crush him and then, I will have it all. Just like it is supposed to be.” He adjusted the last bit of his clothing before he turned around to face his sister. “He’s
Damon led Octavia downstairs, their footsteps echoing in the grand hallway. As they reached the spacious living area, he gestured towards the seating area, indicating for her to take a seat. Octavia scanned the room with a hint of disdain before settling herself onto a luxurious couch.Damon stood tall, his posture exuding authority as he addressed Octavia. "Let's get down to business, Octavia. We have important matters to discuss."Octavia leaned back, crossing her legs, and raised an eyebrow. "No pleasantries, Damon? Is this how you treat your guests? Not even a simple offer of a drink?"Damon sighed, his patience tested by Octavia's constant needling. He had little time for formalities when the weight of their responsibilities loomed over them. "Octavia, this is not a social visit. We have urgent matters to attend to. There will be time for pleasantries later."Octavia smirked, enjoying Damon's discomfort. "Always the serious one, aren't you? Fine, I'll humor you for now. But don't
As the morning sun cast its gentle rays through the windows, filling the room with a soft glow, Sarah and Damon found themselves lost in each other's embrace. Their bodies intertwined, their lips locked in a passionate kiss, their desires intertwining in a fervent dance of longing.Time seemed to stand still as their fervor grew, their senses consumed by the intoxicating closeness they shared. Every touch, every caress, ignited a fire within them, fueling their hunger for each other.But just as their passion reached its peak, a sudden knock on the door shattered the moment, jolting them apart. A knock came, sharp and unexpected, sliced through the air, casting an unwelcome intrusion upon their intimate haven.Startled, Sarah and Damon quickly disentangled themselves, their breathing heavy, their faces flushed with a mixture of desire and surprise. Their eyes met, a shared understanding passing between them as they realized the need to compose themselves.Damon hurriedly adjusted his
"Do you really want to do this, Andrea?" Lucas asked again. He wanted her to be sure about the decision she was about to make. He didn't want her to regret any of it later.No, he wanted her to remember each and every moment of the experience with a happy smile, and an ache to have him again. That's what he wanted.This wasn't her first time – her first time had been with Damon in the unfortunate rape incident. But he didn't want her to think of that whenever she thought of her first sex. He wbated her to think of thus ore"Stop talking and kiss me" Andrea slammed her lips back onto his with double the intent, desire, and craving. Her kiss ignited a spark of fiery passion within him he didn't even know existed until now.He had never felt this sexually awake in his entire life before. No woman had ever made him feel this sort of stimulation. But Andrea was different, completely different from the rest. The mere ecustence of her was enough to arouse him, let alone having her lips again
Andrea smiled and then looked out of the window, lost in her own thoughts. The scenery passed by in a blur as they drove along the highway, the wind blowing through the open windows. Lucas couldn't help but keep stealing glances at Andrea, lost in his own lustful thoughts. Her gown hugged her curves in all the right places, and had a long sleeve that showed off her long, toned legs.As the wind continued to whip through the car, Lucas couldn't resist the urge any longer. She looked so beautiful, so sexy, so breathtaking. Andrea was a true work of art, and ever since he got a taste of her lips, he has always been wanting more. Not just more of her lips, but more of her…Lucas forcefully shook those thoughts away. Turning his attention back to the road, Lucas focused on the task at hand. He tightened his grip on the steering wheel, feeling the cool leather under his fingers. The steady hum of the engine provided a comforting backdrop as he pushed aside any distractions.Andrea's gaze sh
"Lucas please wait…" she cried after himTurning to Andrea, he spoke with a hint of desperation in his voice. He stood by his car, frustration etched across his face."Andrea, please... just leave me alone for a while. I need some time to think,"But Andrea, undeterred, met his gaze with unwavering determination. She knew that Lucas needed her support now more than ever, even if he couldn't see it at that moment."I can't leave you, Lucas," she said firmly, her voice filled with conviction. "I won't abandon you, especially not when you're feeling like this. We're in this together, remember?"Lucas sighed, torn between his desire for solitude and his love for Andrea. He realized that she wasn't going to give up easily, and perhaps he needed her presence more than he initially thought. With a heavy heart, he relented."Fine," he muttered, opening the car door and sliding inside. "But don't say I didn't warn you. It's going to be a bumpy ride."Andrea flashed him a small, determined smil
Lucas's voice quivered with disbelief as he questioned his father's decision, his eyes pleading for an alternative. "Father, I understand the need for a tie breaker, but must it be a fight to the death? Isn't there any other way we can determine a victor?"Alpha Damien's gaze met Lucas's, a mix of sympathy and resolve etched on his face. He paused for a moment, considering his son's words, before he responded with a heavy sigh."Lucas, my son, I have considered every possible option for a fair tie breaker," Alpha Damien began, his voice tinged with regret. "But any alternative I present would invite accusations of bias or potential cheating. The stakes are too high, and the tensions between you and Damon are palpable."Alpha Damien's eyes flickered briefly towards Damon, a subtle indication of the underlying conflicts that simmered between the brothers. The weight of unspoken rivalry hung heavy in the room, highlighting the need for an impartial resolution."I fear that if I were to p
On the other hand, Damon's expression was unreadable, almost as if he was trying to will himself to be unaffected by the romantic display.Meanwhile, Lucas and Andrea clasped each other's hands tightly, sealing their commitment to one another. Time seemed to stand still as the couple basked in the warmth of their love, their unwavering devotion palpable to all those who witnessed it. Their eyes locked in a silent vow, they knew that they were meant to be together, come what may.Damon's mind was a whirlwind of conflicting emotions as he watched Lucas make his announcement, declaring Andrea as his mate. Part of him felt a surge of bitterness and jealousy, thinking that he was the one who deserved to be with her. After all, he and Lucas had both rejected her in the past, and now Lucas had suddenly changed his mind.But as Damon's thoughts delved deeper, a pang of guilt began to creep in. He couldn't deny the truth that he had once posed a danger to Andrea's life. The memory of his previ
"That's enough!" he bellowed. His voice reverberated in the small space, and all eyes were now on the Alpha. Even in his seated position, his towering presence and authority were undeniable. "This is neither the time nor the place for such childish behavior. We're here to address critical matters, not engage in pointless squabbles."As Alpha Damien spoke, Lucas and Damon's eyes met and a spark of resentment flickered between them. Both brothers were still simmering with anger from their previous disagreement, but they knew that their father's words were a reminder of the seriousness of the situation and the need for composure.Lucas gulped in a deep breath, attempting to calm himself down and regain control of his emotions. He could feel the tension in the room and knew that it was his responsibility to take the first step towards reconciliation. He turned towards his father and spoke, "I'm sorry, father. I let my emotions get the best of me."Damon reluctantly nodded, realizing that
