Grayson:
"Good morning!" I say.
"More like good afternoon. It's 3:00 PM!" She exclaims. "Prince Gabriel's ball is today. You have to be ready by 6:00 PM," She reminds me."Actually... I met him at the soccer match yesterday..." I say."Really? Is he your mate?" She asks excitingly."Ex-mate. He rejected me! Isn't that great?!" I exclaim joyfully. Her eyes went wide."Rejected you? What?" She asks in disbelief. I nod proudly."So that means I don't have to go to the ball, right?" I ask. She shakes her head."Nope, you are going young lady. You can find your second chance mate!" She says. I groan. "Nope, I'm not going," I declare. She glares at me."Grayson Ember Vasquez Lopez!" She screams. If you're wondering about my last name, then lemme explain: My mom was white, and my dad was half-Hispanic and half-white. So I guess I'm a quarter Hispanic."You are going to the ball whether you like it or not!" She yells. I roll my eyes, grabbing some bacon strips and going upstairs to my room. Aunt Cassie is really ticking me off. So I'm gonna tick her off more...*Time skip*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~It's 6:20 PM right now. I'm purposely late just to tick off Aunt Cassie. Bonus: I'm wearing cargo pants and a tank top. I put on my brown contact lenses and slip a dagger in my boot, just in case. I walk out the door, and Aunt Cassie's jaw drops to the floor. "We're too late now, I can't go change into a dress," I say. She huffs and turns around."Fine, but I do not know you, ok?" She says. I roll my eyes and look at Adrianna; she was wearing a short purple dress, and black heels. She was intently staring outside. I lean close to her."What's on your mind?" I ask her. She gasps in surprise, but calms down as she sees me."Nothing... I was just wondering if Prince Gabriel is my mate..." She sighs dreamily. Maybe he gets a second chance mate. Maybe it'll be my sister. Chances are low, but it's still possible, right?"Boo. I don't get why people want mates. They're just... They're just gonna control your life and everything you do," I tell her."But they'll love you and protect you forever, and you'll have their pups, and-" I cut her off:"Ew. Nope, that's just gross," I say. She rolls her eyes and look back at the window. After an eternity of boredom, we finally arrive to the Midnight Royalty castle. As as we walk in, everyone looks at me weirdly."Outfit game on point," I say to Grace. She giggles in response. I notice a guy with a bandage on his leg; the same guy I threw a dagger at. I try to stifle a laugh at his helplessness. He glares at me in anger."Hey! You're the one who threw a dagger at me!" He yells. "Well sorry for defending myself," I say, putting my hands up. He looks me up and down, licking his lips. Did he really just do that? Even after I threw a dagger at him?"What's your name beautiful?" He asks. "My name is... Jess.. ica... Jessica. Jessica Andrews," I lie. "Well Jessica, nice to meet you. My name's Brent Meyers." He says with a wink. Ew. Make it stop. It's so loud in here... My head is hurting. I don't like noise."Uh, I gotta use the washrooms, nice talking to ya," I say nervously, walking to an empty area. I notice a random door, and I open it. I see a huge balcony, and I run over to the edge and place my hands on the railing. I breathe in the fresh air. I hear a growl and I turn around. I see the infamous 'Prince Gabriel' sitting by the doorway. Woah. I walked right past him without noticing."Oh sorry. Do you want me to leave?" I ask him."No, stay," he says. I shrug and turned back around, staring at the landscape."Why are you here? Shouldn't you be at the ball looking for your mate?" I ask."I already found her.”"Then shouldn't you guys be on stage right now, announcing everyone about your... Mateness," I say. I don't even know if 'mateness' is a word, but whatever."I'll wait for a while before announcing everyone about our 'mateness'," He said. Fair enough. I place my hands back on the railing, peering at a faraway forest. I could see some deers running around, and a few owls flying by. That forest looks cool. I think I'm gonna go run there later, when everyone is occupied by the Prince and his mate.Suddenly, two large hands are placed on top of mine, covering my hands. "Mine," I hear someone growl right behind me. I elbow the intruder in the rib, hearing him groan in pain. I run as fast as I could to the ballroom, not turning to see who it was. I run through the crowd, and I was about to run out the main entrance door, when two hands grabbed my waist, pulling me into someone's chest.I started squirming and kicking as the intruder picked me up and started walking somewhere else."No, you can't do this! Help! Let go of me!" I yell, getting everyone's attention. I'm causing a scene, but I don't give a shit. I quickly grab my dagger from my boot, and I was about to plunge it right into his heart, when someone else grabs my wrist. "If you're gonna kill him, you'll do it under my dead body!" The other intruder says. I stare at him. He's one of the creepy 4 men from the soccer match yesterday."Well if you insist.” I try to stab the dagger in his chest. He dodges it, and the dude that's picking me up growls and pulls me closer to him. The other intruder knocks my dagger out of my hand, leaving me defenceless. Oh shit.The dude holding me starts walking away, carrying me."Wait no! I want my dagger back! Help needed! Someone call 911! Please!!!" I yell as he carries me upstairs, away from the ball room. He brings me in another room, while I desperately try to get out of his grip. He drops me on a bed, allowing me to finally see who he is...Grayson:Oh! It's the magnificent Prince Gabriel. Please note the sarcasm. "Bruh, I thought you found your mate already!" I say. He just glares at me."Yeah, it's you. I, Gabriel Daemon Lupa hereby accept you as my mate," He states. Ew, no."Nope, I'm out. Peace!" I say, walking towards the door. He jumped in front of me, blocking the door. "Come on, I thought we were cool, man. I thought you rejected me, and we were going to live happily freely after," I say."Sorry, but I changed my mind.""What if I reject you?" I ask."Pffft... I dare you," he says."Well, a dare is a dare... I,-" I started, but was cut off by him jumping on my and covering my mouth with his hand. "No, if you reject me, I will not hesitate to mark you right here," He growls. I try to respond, but my voice is muffled by his hand."What's your name?" He asks, removing his hand."Uh, Francesca," I lie. He furrows his eyebrows."Are you saying the truth?" He asks suspiciously."Yeahhh..." I lie again. "I can
Grayson: So now, we're sitting in Prince Gabriel's room."Hey, wanna play 20 questions?" He asks me."Ok fine, I start. What's your wifi password?" I ask, pulling out my phone. He sighs and takes his phone out. After scrolling through some stuff, he says:"C43 98S MW1," He replies."Ok my turn. Can you tell me your name?" He asks."Yes I can. My turn, how old are you, like, 30?" I ask, smirking. He glares at me."I'm 18... And you didn't answer my question," He states. "Yes I did, you didn't ask me what's my name, you asked me if I can tell you my name," I say. He rolled his eyes."What's your name?' He asks."My name is a noun. Just like every other name," I say, smirking. He groans in annoyance."Do you have any siblings?" I ask."Yeah, Lilly and Micheal. Lilly's 5 years old and Micheal is 12," He says. I nod understandingly."How do you spell your name?" He asks. Wow he's really desperate to know my name..."With letters. Duh.”"Fuck it," He says. I smile in victory."What's your
Gabriel:When we arrive to the room, I lock the door and stand infront of it, making sure she can't escape."I'm tired," She states. "Well let's go to sleep then," I reply, sitting on the bed."Uh, nope. I ain't sleeping next to you," She says. I sigh."Fine. You sleep here, I'll sleep somewhere else," I tell her."Sure, just lemme get my pajamas- Oh right, I don't have anything to sleep in," She states. "You can wear one of my shirts," I say, opening my closet and grabbing a plain black shirt, throwing it at her. She catches it, and looks at it."Ok, but what about pants?" She asks."I think that shirt will be enough," I reply, smirking."Are you saying that I'm short?" She questions. "Well, you are," I state. She huffs and walks over to me, stopping right infront of me. The top of her head came up to the level of my eyes. I have to admit, she's taller than other girls in this pack."I am not short," She states. I roll my eyes."Whatever you say, midget," I say to annoy her. She g
Grayson:"Please? I'm not even going to sleep in the same bed as you, I promise," Prince Shithead asks for the millionth time. I groan, throwing my head back."Fine." He lets out a sigh of relief, smiling. I walk to the bathroom and close the door. I just got convinced to sleep in the same room as him. That means... I can't escape tonight... I'll try again tomorrow; I'm dead tired from all that running. By sleeping here, I have to take a big risk. I take off my contact lenses, throwing them in the toilet and flushing them. I stare at the mirror: nope. This is all kinds of nope. I hate my eyes. I walk out the bathroom and immediately go onto the bed, so that Prince Shithead can't see them. I know I hate him, but no one deserves to see these hideous orbs. "Can I sleep on the bed?" He asks softly. "Sure thing, just lemme go back home to sleep in my own bed," I reply. He sighs, and walks over to a couch in the corner, turning off the lights. I could feel his stare burning holes in my
Gabriel:Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.I groan as my alarm goes off. I turn it off, before realizing that I'm in my couch. I glance over at my bed and see her sleeping, on her stomach, all spread out. Her... I don't even know her name. I got up and walked over to her. She looked so... I don't know, pretty, I guess?"Our mate isn't just pretty. She's beautiful," Gavin says. "Yeah but, isn't it too early to call her beautiful?" I ask."She's our mate! I already knew she was beautiful before we even met her!" Gavin exclaims. I roll my eyes and check my phone. FUCK, I'm getting late! I don't even have time to shower! I quickly ran ran to my closet and threw on a pair of jeans and a shirt before running to my office to do some Alpha shit, grabbing some coffee along the way. So much fucking paperwork to do! Sometimes I hate being an Alpha. But hey, all the girls go all over me for it. After finally finishing my work, I walk in my room and close the door behind me, dropping my bag
Grayson:So now we're driving back to hell the castle. I'm repetitively hitting my head back on the seat."Don't do that," Prince Shithead growls. "You'll hurt yourself, love," He adds in a softer tone. I stop hitting my head on the seat for a second, and started hitting my head on the window instead. "Grayson," He says in a deep, threatening voice. I look at him, still hitting my head on the window. "I'll make you sit on my lap if I have to," He states. I roll my eyes."You'll make me sit on your lap if you want us to die in a car accident," I reply sharply. He sighs."Why do you have to be so complicated?" "Hey! I'm not complicated! I just like having freedom," I state. I'm still hitting my head against the window."You'll get your freedom when I know that you won't run away from me."After a while of driving, he abruptly stops the car and unbuckles my seat belt. Before I have time to react, he pulls me onto his lap, with my legs in between his, and starts driving again. I look up
Grayson: "Let's go to sleep," Prince Shithead says."Not on the same bed, alright?" He frowns."Please?" "No.""Mates are supposed to sleep together," He pleads."But we're not-" I say, but get interrupted by him:"We are mates, we'll sleep on the same bed.""Hey, what if like, we meet a human. Like, what are you gonna say to that person?" I ask."What do you mean?" He asks."Like, how are you gonna say that we're 'mates' to them?" "I'll say that your my girlfriend," He says. I furrow my brows."I'm not your girlfriend.""Yes you are. End of discussion," He says."No I'm not," I argue."Well that's too bad. I'll only let you watch the UEFA EURO 2016 Final if you agree to be my girlfriend," He says, smirking. I huff."Fine. You're my girlfriend.""Wait, what?""We're girlfriends. End of discussion,""No that's not what I m-" He starts."-You said that you'll lemme watch the Final if we became girlfriends," I cut him off."No I said if you become my girlfriend," He responds."I am yo
Grayson:"Wanna go have dinner with the rest of the pack again?" Prince Shithead asks. Uhhhhhhhhh... I didn't want to offend him by saying that his pack is a bunch of assholes, but truly I'd rather skip dinner than get roasted over there again.Prince Shithead must've read my thoughts or something."Or maybe we could just order some pizza and stay here. If you want," He adds. A tiny smile made its way on my face."Sure," I reply. A few minutes later, we were laying on the bed an empty box of pizza."I'm full," I state, chewing on the crust of my last pizza."Same here," He responds. He ate 5 slices, and I ate 3. We both stayed silent for a while."Thanks," I finally say. He looks at me, confused."For what?" He asks. I shrug."For not making me go down there," I answer. He chuckles."I didn't want to go there either. Delilah's such a pain in the ass. I can't believe that I used to date her," He says."You were dating her?" I ask in disbelief. Well, I don't know why I'm surprised, I m
Sebastian's povMy name is Sebastian Decker. Son of Donovan and isabel Decker of the Blue moon park. And future alpha.My elder brother Nathaniel, or Nate as he likes to be called was up inline to be the next alpha but all that came crushing down when at the age of 12, he started exhibiting traits of a warrior wolf. When he was born, he didn't show which gene he possessed because all werewolves show at birth where they belong. Nate didn't. They assumed he was just a late bloomer. Mom says I showed my alpha trait the moment I was born. Which is why am now the next in line. I love my brother, and he loves me. Despite him being the first child, the fact that he isn't inline for alpha position doesn't bother him. He loves being a warrior wolf. He says it's what he was born to be and he wouldn't change it for the world. I clocked 18 but I haven't yet realised my mate. But my gut tells me it's Satin, my current girlfriend. I just can't feel the pull because she isn't 18yet. But she will be
River's pov My name is River Blair, am 17. Can't wait to be 18. Fuckin can't wait. Because 18 is the ripe age when a werewolf recognises their mate. Thing is am not even certain whether I will have a mate.. for starters, I can't shift. A werewolf is able to shift for the first time at 10years. Here I am, a 17yr old boy and nothing! Absolutely nothing. No wonder people look at me like am some freak of nature. But hey! That doesn't stop me from being the fabulous me. See I've got the best support group, a loving family. Awesome parents and a kick ass sister who would kill for me. And I mean that in every sense of the word."Stop ogling the guy River! " Bay my best friend says.We are seated on a park bench, sipping smoothies. And just a few benches ahead sits none other than Sebastian Decker, the future alpha. He sits with his fellow high ranked wolves, casper Reed, his future beta, and Nate Decker his older brother and warrior wolf. I don't bother with the rest of his crew.. those thre
We soon left the apartment, their leashes wrapped around my hands as I breathed in the autumn air. Truth be told, I love fall better than any other season. It's warm but chilly, and I can wear my favorite sweatshirts. Spring is okay, but fall all the way. As I walked down the block, Snow stood by my side, while Storm walked farther ahead, sniffing everywhere. Storm always did this, pulling on his leash to be ahead of others and making me stumble a few times. I honestly believe he's trying to walk me instead. As for Snow, she stood by my side, occasionally trying to get me to scratch her behind the ears. I love how she tries to gain my attention. She'd either lick my hand or bark softly. It was cute. Snow stopped at one point to do her business, and all I could do was look elsewhere. Looking around, I noticed some stores starting to open up, teens and kids piling into a nearby city bus and business men getting into their cars and so on. The street was busy basically. After she finish
BONUS CHAPTER My eyes shot open from the dream. It seemed so real this time, I thought I was being watched. I quickly looked around my room, then let out a soft sigh, closing my eyes again. I've been dreaming the same dream for a while now. I couldn't pin point why I had them, but it didn't matter. Yawning, I stared up at the ceiling. My name is Valeria Vladia Rossi. My father, who is no longer with us, used to call me Vale when I was younger. Since then, my family calls me by that nickname. Although sometimes it's Vladi or Vladia. I missed my father. He would tell me stories about the different colors of the moon, and their secret meanings. Though I never understood them. Since I don't really ask about him anymore, I started to have vague memories of him. I still love him with all my heart and soul, and miss him dearly. But I'm sure he would've wanted me to stay strong for my family and move on. I'm 17 years old, happily finishing my last year of high school. I live with my mother
A few years later...Grayson :I smile as I watch the sun setting over the horizon. Gabriel and I have went on many vacations over the past years, but this was by far my favourite one. Feeling the warm water lapping my feet, the cool breeze flowing in my hair, and hearing the calming sounds of the ocean... This is one of the best moments in life.Two familiar hands wrap around me, pulling me back into a hard, built torso. I snuggle into his chest, enjoying his hold. Gabriel has always been protective of me, especially after he knocked me up again. I'm six weeks along, and this time, I finally feel ready to be a mother. We both can't wait for our little baby.My mate suddenly starts sniffing me intensely. I turn around to face him, only to see that he was already staring at me, seemingly deep in thought."Is something wrong?" I ask, confused. He pulls me closer, before leaning down to my stomach, sniffing it, then placing his ear on it. "Gabe? What happened?""There's two," He states,
Gabriel :I stare at my mate, laying unconscious on the hospital bed. Right after I killed that witch, she fainted from wolfsbane overdose. I’ve been here all night and she still hasn’t woken up, but the doctors assured that she’ll survive.My eyes move to her flat stomach, and I feel tears forming again. My pup didn’t make it. Our pup. I didn’t even know she was carrying my baby, and I can’t believe I wasn’t there to protect it. This is all my fault, isn’t it..."I promise, in the future, I’ll never let anyone harm our pup. I’ll stay by your side everyday, I swear I’ll protect you with my life," I say, grabbing her small hand in mine.My head snaps up when I feel her squeeze my hand. It was feeble, but I definitely felt it."Gray? Are you awake? Can you hear me?" I ask frantically, squeezing her hand back with both hands. "Open your eyes my love, please..." I bring her hand to my lips, kissing it softly.A few moments later, her eyes flutter open, squinting at the light. A wave of re
2 months later... Grayson : I spin around in Gabriel's office chair, bored out of my mind. We haven't spoken since he left; he didn't bring his phone with him, and we're too far apart for the mind-link. I expected him to be back within a month, but I guess that was too optimistic of me. The fight had lasted a lot longer than they had planned, according to some rumors, some packs even betrayed their allies and joined the rogues. At this point, who knows when he'll be back. I know I'm supposed to be upset that my mate left without saying goodbye, but I miss him terribly. The second I see him again, I'll run in his arms and squeeze the life out of him. I wonder how he'll react when he'll see me... I'm only around 8 weeks pregnant, my belly is still concealable. But he'll definitely be able to smell it. Will he be excited? What if... he won't? What if he's not ready? "Stop working yourself up. He'll be beyond thrilled when he finds out we're carrying his pup." Grace reassures me. She
A couple weeks later...Gabriel:Zipping up my bag, I let out a sigh. I’m finally done packing my stuff for tomorrow. There’s another upcoming rogue attack in one of our ally packs, and I volunteered to go help them fight.The pack is pretty far from ours. It’ll take about two weeks to get there, and who knows how long to defeat those rogues, plus another two weeks to get back. Grayson, as you probably expected, is not happy about this.She’s been crying all night, begging me not to go, no matter how much I tried to comfort her. She even threw up this morning, from all the sorrow she’s been feeling. Seeing her this sad truly pains me, but I can’t stay. I’m an Alpha, I’m supposed to fight along other pack members, not just hide away."I’ll be extra careful this time, alright? You have nothing to worry about." I console her, stroking her hair while she hugs me tightly, crying into my chest."Please don’t go. Please?" She lifts her face up, looking at me with those mesmerizing green eyes
Grayson:"I apologize once again Alpha, and Luna. And I wish you both have a great life," Garrett says. He's leaving today, since he had to stay at our pack hospital for a couple days after that beating Gabriel gave him, but at least I finally learned his name. "Leave. If I ever see you near her again, I won't hold back." Gabe retorts, pulling me behind him. I smile internally at his possessiveness. "I understand, Alpha." The Beta lowers his head in submission, before turning towards his car. "Wait!" I call, stepping forward. Both males look at me, puzzled. "Yes, Luna?" Garrett asks. I roll my eyes at how formal he's being, knowing it's just because Gabriel's standing right there."Reject me before you go." His eyes widen in shock."You want... Me to reject you?" I nod."It'll help you move on. If we don't reject each other, you'll be stuck on me forever." He frowns, looking down."Do it." Gabriel orders using his Alpha voice, moving behind me to wrap his arms around my waist. Gar
