2024-10-29 19:42:56"I'm coming in you better be clothed!" Amelia shouted through a crack in the door.
"As if you haven't seen me naked before." I say with a groan. She laughed and slipped into my room with a gown hung over her arm. I had my dress for tonights ceremony laid out on my bed as I sat at my vanity in a white slip drying my hair.
"Yeah and it wasn't something I enjoyed." She said setting her gown down.
"Why? Were you jealous?" I say winking at her and pointing to my breasts. She rolled her eyes at me.
"No, you're my sister I don't wanna see you naked." She said sitting down on my bed.
"Eh. Feel free to use anything I have for tonight by the way, and I do mean anything. Jewelry, make up. perfume, shoes I don't mind."
"Really anything?" She asked. I nodded and she squealed. We didn't show how much we appreciated each other through words but rather through our actions.
"I mean it, anything." I said with a shrug while brushing out my hair again.
"Even the pearl and saphire necklace and earring set your parents gave you when we graduated highschool?" I thought about it for a moment.
"On one condition." I say pulling the set out of my jewelry box.
"I'm listening." She said looking at me skeptically.
"Swear on your first born pup nothing will happen to it." She laughed.
"I did that when I borrowed one of your books back in highschool." I rolled my eyes.
"Okay second born."
"When I borrowed a dress for prom."
"Okay what number are we on then?" She contemplated it for a moment.
"Sixth." She finally answered. I laughed.
"If you and Kyle have six pups I will be amazed."
"How about my first grand child?" She suggested. I nodded.
"Very well, swear on your first grand child nothing will happen to this set." She nodded.
"I'd rather die then let anything happen to it. I know how much it means to you." She began to run her fingers through my hair.
"Now what are we doing with this?" She asked holding up a small handful of my long black hair. I unlocked my phone and showed her a photo. It was a half ponytail style that had the half that was up styled into a rose with silver beads laced through to make it look like dew drops.
"Can you manage this?" She nodded and I pulled the silver beads out from the top drawer of my vanity for her as well as several hair ties and hair pins as I sent her the tutorial on how to do it.
"What about makeup?" I sighed.
"It's a bit beyond my skill level so I will need your help again." She smiled at me.
"If I can borrow that saphire blue shawl of yours with our pack crest on it you've got a deal." I laughed and shook my head.
"Alright, I can manage that since I will be using my silver one."
"Alright show me what you want." I switched to another photo.
"I can do my foundation and highlighter no problem but it's the eyeliner and eyeshadow." I show her a picture. "Ok well I can put the silver eyeshadow but you know I can't do the wing tip to save my life and that thin black liner on the top eyelid forget it you know my hands aren't steady enough for that. I can do the black eyeliner on my lower lid but the silver underneath and the silver swirls yeah no." She laughed and shook her head at me.
"Alright I will do your hair then while I do mine do what you can for your make up then i'll finish it." I nodd and swivel so my back is to her and give her my hair brush.
"This reminds me of the last time I saw Elstan." I whisper to her. My heart felt heavy at the meantion of prom night.
"I know. Who the hell breaks up with their girlfriend after prom though?" I shrug. I was over it all at this point but I remember how much that night had hurt.
"Not to mention he only broke up with me to go sleep with some human girl."
"Yeah he's not worth the air you breath sis, you know that." I place a hand on my chest.
"I know but it doesn't change the fact that a part of him is still connected to me. I still have love for him, you know that, but I refuse to go through any of that ever again." She nodded.
"I know sis. Besides you're better off without him. Perhaps it's time to consider a chosen mate." I shrug.
"Maybe. Zariah seems persistent that we have a second chance mate but I don't know who or if I will ever meet him."
"Well she's never been wrong so i'm sure when the time is right the moon goddess will reveal him to you. If not maybe you should consider a chosen mate." I nodd.
"I'll give it two more years. If I do not find a second chance mate by my twenty-eighth birthday I will select a chosen mate." I flinch a little as a pin jabs my scalp. "Ouch."
"Sorry sis I didn't mean to hurt you. I was just thinking of who you're gonna choose." I shrug.
"It's fine. honestly I don't know. I wont know until then." We remain silent for the most part the rest of the time.
After what felt like forever Amelia and I stand admiring ourselves in the mirrors in my room. My best friend had chosen a beautiful saphire blue strapless dress that had a slight v shaped neckline that showed a little cleavage. She looked stunning with my blue shawl and my necklace set my parents gave me. She was wearing matching flats since heels and her were not friends. She had light make up on and her hair was in a bun that almost reminded me of a spider plant with a rhinestone scrunchy I had given her years ago. She looked so gorgeous and I knew her mate would be beside himself when he saw her. I honestly envied her sometimes because I wished I could have that kind of love.
I studied myself over again. My hair and make up were perfection. The silver accented my pale skin and dark hair in ways that looked so stunning. The holographic highlighter made me shine in the faintest light in a way that Amelia had insisted made me look like a goddess. I wore a silver crescent moon necklace that rested on my collar bone. The dress though was what made even me think I looked amazing. The neckline was a deep V that showed way more clevage than Amelias dress and slightly curved around each breast right above where the strapless pushup bra I was wearing was. The back was so low cut it stopped at the base of my hips. The dress itself did have a thin strip of fabric going across the back that hid my bra and had a piece of silver tule like fabric that hung down the entire length of the dress and trailed slightly behind me. I remembered how much Elstan had hated this dress and smiled at the thought. My silver shawl laid on my bed and I decided against wearing it, I wanted to show off a bit.
"Honestly I think your ex is going to die when he sees you in that dress." I smiled.
"Is it bad I kinda hope he does?" Amelia laughed and shook her head.
"You're terrible. Oof hold on girl I gotta go to the bathroom then we'll go meet up with the men." She said as she rushed off to my bathroom. I sat on my bed and thought back to our highschool prom. It wasn't exactly a happy memory but hearing Amelia bring it up earlier had caused it to resurface.

"Kaydence are you ready?" I heard Amelias voice shout through my door. "Almost." I yelled back. I studied myself in the mirror and frowned. I hated how I looked. I looked at the seafoam green dress I had originally bought for prom with my mom and wished Elstan had liked it. Amelia came into my room and I looked at her as she scrunched her face up. "What the fuck are you wearing?" She asked putting her hands on her hips. I shrugged and looked back at my reflection. My hair was pulled up into a tight dancers bun since Elstan hated it down. I had no earrings on and no makeup on since he said I looked better that way anyways. The dress was what made me unhappy though. It was an ugly olive green maxi dress that literally hid all my curves because it was a size too big. "Elstan picked it out." I went to grab my purse so we could go but my best friend held her arm up. "That's it i'm dra

Amelia and I took the elevator down to the first floor, mostly because despite the fact I could walk just fine in heels Amelia was too giddy to want to take her time down the stairs and I was terrified she would trip and fall. She texted Kyle and told him to wait for her by the elevator with Emron. I gave her a reassuring smile and nudge as the elevator doors slid open. Kyle turned to see us and his eyes instantly fell on his mate and the look of pure joy on his face once again made me slightly envious of my best friends. "Holy shit babe!" He said taking her in his arms. I stayed still wanting them to have this moment to themselves. "You like?" She asked planting a light kiss on his lips. He nodded. "Oh yeah." He said pulling her body close to his. It took a lot of restraint to keep myself from rolling my eyes at them. Kyle glanced at me then back to Amelia only to do a double take.&nb

I roll over and glance at the alarm clock on my bedside table, almost three in the morning. I'm slightly panting and incredibly sweaty. I haven't felt this good in a long time. I roll on to my other side and watch Emron as he catches his breath and disposes of his third condom in the past three hours. I feel sore but I love it and still curl up to him. He looks at me surprised but says nothing. I guess he must be aware I don't usually want to cuddle with anyone I sleep with. He is my first exception. "Are you alright?" He asks brushing a strand of hair from my face. "Yes. Are you?" He smiles at me and plants a soft kiss on my lips. I wrap my arms around his neck and press by breasts against his chest. His arm wraps around my waist and he pulls me closer. He breaks the kiss and I feel the urge to kiss him again. "I was just imbetween the legs of the sexiest woman i've ever met an

I stood in the clearing wearing a bath robe, waiting for Elstan it was almost sun set. Amelia and I had spent the day hiding my more valuable items like my moms Luna dress, some of my favorite jewelry that Elstan didn't know I owned and some photos. I was sure it would be for nothing and by the end of the day I would laugh at myself but something had just told me to do it. I had trained with Emron for a few hours and had taken a nap and eaten to make sure I was well rested and energized for this fight. I couldn't loose I had to win this because goddess only knows what would happen if I lost. I shuddered thinking about it. Elstan finally emerged from the pack house also in just a bathrobe. Images of him naked flashed through my head and I forced them to the back of my mind. A few of the pack warriors were here as well as Emron and Kyle since they were the Beta and Gamma of the pack. The smug ass hole elder was also here and had came to the clearing with Elstan. Els

"Kaydence?" I didn't look at Elstan. How could I? We had broken up right before summer vacation which was pretty typical at this rate with him despite the fact we lived not far from each other in the pack territory. Today was the end of our first week back at school and I was determined to just hurry up and get to the parking lot. I knew my mom was waiting for me so I focused on getting to her and getting away from him. I was so sick of the make up break up shit. I had decided on my sixteenth birthday I would never give back in to him. A part of me knew the only reason he was interested in me now was because I had developed over the summer and I wasn't going to fall for it. He grabbed hold of my wrist to try and get me to stop. I yanked it away and kept walking as quickly as I could. "Kaydence please you're being ridiculous just please talk to me." He said again reaching for my wrist and spinning me around to face him. I was so angry I wanted

When I woke I could hardly open my eyes, despite the darkness it felt like something was pounding away a at my temple as if it was a tiny drum. I kept my eyes shut tight but must have uttered a small moan unconsciously because I could hear something or someone moving near by. The room I was in was cold and smelt slightly musty. It finally registered in my brain. I had lost the match for the title of Alpha like I had a feeling I would and now I was in one of the holding cells that I had insisted be renovated once I became Alpha. I forced myself to slowly open my eyes and look around. I had been right. This was a holding cell but it was one of the smaller ones. It didn't surprise me that Elstan would put me here. After all i posed a threat to him. Something didn't seem right though and I thought back to the match. Something about his scent had seemed off and I couldn't figure out what. "Kaydence?" A
Surviving my mate Chapter twelve
After three days I felt I was beginning to go mad. I wasn't sure if it had anything to do with the fact that I was kept in almost complete darkness or if it was due to me worrying about my pack and their safety. I knew Elstan wouldn't really hurt anyone, or at least I hoped not. Between that and the lack of food and sleep I was longing to be out of this cell. I decided the best thing I could do for my own survival and for the survival of my friends and my pack would be to give in to Elstan. I didn't want to because I still hated him deep down and I was still pretty convinced he had somehow cheated in our match but what other choice did I have? I just needed to submit long enough to find the evidence I needed that he had somehow cheated or regain my strength enough that I could challenge him or even kill him. I wasn't going to just submit completely. True to his word though Elstan had not come to see me a
Surviving my mate Chapter thirteen: Flashback
I twisted from side to side in the mirror studying myself. The dark blue and gold dress twisted this way and that with my body. The bodice of it was tight enough that it clung to and accentuated my breasts in a lovely way. It loosened on my hips and flowed nicely down to my ankles. The pack crest nestled beautifully above my heart around the clasped shawl around my shoulders. Amelia had helped me curl and pin my hair up beautifully so that it looked similar to my mothers hair on her wedding day to my father. I felt the tears begin to form and suppressed the urge to cry again. I had been crying most of the day. Well most of the time really since my parents died. I tried to take deep breaths to steady myself and clear my mind before I undid all of Amelias hard work. She had worked so hard to make me look and feel beautiful for today. It had actually been three months since my parents had passed and despite the fact that majority of

We were on the road towards Palecrest territory within a half hour. Amelia and Kyle took their Jeep and I rode with Dominic. The other two men who I learned were his beta and gamma rode with his mother and their mates The backseat of Dominics vehicle had been folded down and several totes of my belongings the Amelia had been able to save filled the back to the point we couldn't see out the rear window. I knew at least one tote housed some of my parents belongings that she had managed to save and the others were mine I think. I owed her big time for risking herself to save what she did for me. I would find a way to thank her especially since it was my fault we had all been exiled. "Kaydence you said something was off what did you mean by that." Dominic finally asked about an hour into the drive. "Oh. I don't know how to explain it really and I have no proof but I think Elstans been taking something." I

I turned and faced Elstan, he smelt weird again. No one else really seemed to notice it though. Nor did they notice the frail petite looking woman beside him. Was this his chosen mate? She looked up at him with a fearful expression then looked at me with hatred. I just looked at her confused.She looked away though and practically hid behind Elstan. Was she chosen or forced I wondered. And how old was she because she looked really young. "Good evening Elstan." Dominic said politely. Elstan sneerd at him and I could feel Dominic tense up. Two male wolves I hadn't noticed before took their stance beside him while two female wolves I didn't recognize ushered me and his mother to stand behind them. I could defend myself but I didn't object. "Do you really plan on taking my pretty little slave away? I think you have forgotten that pack slaves are not allowed to take mates." Elstans eyes stayed on me the entire time he spoke.

I finished the cleaning and set up on time thankfully. I felt tired but knew I had too much to do still. Elias helped me stash the boxes for the decorations and helped me carry the cleaning stuff back to the supply room. He seemed antsy for whatever reason but I felt antsy as well. I wasn't able to clearly communicate with Zariah yet but I expected as much. I was certain that her antsy and erraticness was due to my own nervousness and uncertainty over escaping. I played it cool as much as possible but used her antsy behavior to my advantage. "Ok Ruby said to head back to the kitchen when I was done." I said smoothing my dress after putting everything away. "Alright lets go. The sooner you're back in Rubys care the sooner I can go get dressed." I nodded and ducked into the kitchen. Ruby looked up from her station and brought me a bowl of oatmeal. I quickly ate it and by the time she was back with a vegetable peeler I had finishe

Zeff started to become anxious and unusually antsy half way through the drive and because of that so did I. Xander gave me a sidelong glance as he started to notice my antsy behavior as I started to fidget more and more. "Alright dude I give do you have to piss or something?" Xander finally asked me. "I don't know what your'e talking about I'm fine." I snapped. Xander raised and eyebrow at me and turned down the music. "Dude what gives? Why are you being a dick all of a sudden." I sighed. "I'm sorry I don't know why but Zeff Is going berserk. He's anxious and antsy and I don't know why. Last time this happened was right before we had that last rouge attack." Xander furrowed his brows.

I woke up a few hours before dawn so that I could go over the details in my mind one more time. Before the ceremony started, while everyone was starting to gather outside I was going to say I needed the ladies room, breakfast and lunch weren't agreeing with me. Emron had skipped a note under my door stating he would have one of the warriors approach Elias and distract him long enough for me to slip out the window. I was going to use the bathroom closest to the garages. Slip out the window and into the garage. Emron has it set up so that one of the Jeep's would be unlocked with tap bags worth of stuff hidden in the back for me. I just hoped this would work. I didn't want to doubt the plan but I was still worried something would go wrong. I started to pace back and forth chewing on my thumbnail. I was trying to think of everything that could go wrong and plan a way around each scenario that popped into my head. I could feel something stirring i

I rolled over as my beta and best friend Xander pulled back the curtain to let the morning light in and greeted him with a growl. He gave me the middle finger and walked over to my closet. He practically threw the doors open and I could tell he was irritated. I looked at the clock on the bedside table and could see why. It was three in the evening, we were supposed to leave for the Alpha and Luna ceremonies for the Deepridge pack almost an hour ago. "Get dressed, wash up because you smell like a whores vagina after she was working all night and cheap alcohol." Xander said aggressively laying a suit with the packs symbol on it. He laid out one of my black button shirts out with it and matching socks along with a royal blue tie and black dress shoes. "Who died and made you boss?" I growled. He flinched a little but his anger was fairly clear. He was one of the few people in this world I would ever let talk back to me, mostl

I twisted from side to side studying myself in the mirror. Amelia sat behind me in a gorgeous red satin dress applying some dark red lipstick using the compact mirror I had bought h er on our first day of highschool. She looked up at me and winked. "Gorgeous babe." She said snapping the cdompact shut. I smiled sheepishly. "Its not too much?" She shook her head and I studied myself again. I really loved this purple dress and I couldn't wait to walk to my fathers side wearing it so that he could proudly announce that I was officially eighteen and had met my wolf. I couldn't wait to let Zariah run free beside my pack. I was nervous though because tonight I would have to renounce Elstan as my mate publicly. Amelia placed her hand on my shoulder and I smiled at her. "Everything will be fine Kay I promise. I know you're not used to dressing up like this but as your best friend in the whole world I swear to you

"Elias I finnished this bathroom." I said standing after being on my hands and knees for the past two hours scrubing every little inch of the male warriors shared bathroom. I had been assigned to the lowest two floors, the floors that i felt were always the dirtiest anyways. Elias stood from his chair in the hall where he had positioned himself mso that he could see my every move and walked around the bathroom. He gave a nod of approval and I let out a small sigh. "Alright lets empty that mop bucket and get you some clean rags so you can do the womens bathroom next." I nodded. "After that I'll take you back to the kitchen for your supper and then Ruby will take over from there understood?" I nodded. I quickly gathered up my supplies and followed him to the dirty supplies room. I quickly dumped the mop water being careful not to splash it anywhere and traded out the rags for clean ones while the bucket refilled with clean water.&n

A loud banging and some incoherent shouting woke me out of a dead sleep. I didn't need to hear to understand what was being shouted through my locked door. I stood and stretched which caused my back to hurt but I didn't have time to focus on that. I quickly brushed my hair and threw it up into a bun. I slid on underclothing and one of the ugly shapeless grey dresses. I stood in front of the door with my head bowed like Donna had told me to do last night. I still didn't have much of a plan for tomorrow but I had to just keep my head down and my mouth shut and everything would work our. Or so i hoped. I heard keys out front of my door and went over all of Donnas pointers in my head again. Keep my head down, hands in front of me or beside me. Don't speak unless directed to, just nod yes or no. Do not fight my orders. Do not fight the injections. Be calm and complacent, act stupid if i have to. Basically the exact opposite of who i am, great. Th
