Chapter 4 EXPECTING THE MATE

Author: Immaxx
VEGA

It's been a week since the incident with the rogues and fortunately for me, the rogue Alpha never came looking for those rogues.

The rogues must have been of no importance to the rogue Alpha, I guess.

My life still wasn't an easy one because Victoria and her group never stopped calling me a pretender and a murderer. If only they had been in my shoes that day, I was sure they would have been successfully kidnapped.

I came home very exhausted, but to my greatest surprise, everyone in the pack house was busy. The flowers in the garden were being trimmed, and Aunt Penelope and the other women were cleaning up the house. I wondered what the occasion was that warranted such preparations.

Since I was born, this was the first time I've seen everyone making themselves useful around the pack house. I had to ask someone about what's going on. Suddenly, I saw Mike carrying some boxes into the house. Mike is my uncle, and he happens to be the one who always listens to me.

"Hello uncle Mike." He smiled brightly upon seeing me.

"How's my little Veggie doing today?"

"I'm doing okay uncle." I walked up to him so I could help him with the box, but he refused, telling me it might be a bit heavy for me.

To his greatest dismay, I took the box from him like it was some light material and helped deliver it into the house.

Uncle Mike raised a brow in surprise, wondering how I did that.

"Wow.... Veggie, you have become a strong she-wolf, just like your mom." I smiled from ear to ear when he said I looked like my mom. I'm so very proud of myself right now, and I'm sure my mom is too.

"Uhm... why is everyone so busy around the house, uncle?"

"Oh you didn't know? The Lycan Alpha is coming for a visit, I know you wouldn't know because the last time he visited, you were still a little girl.

I could not believe my ears. The Lycan Alpha is coming?! Like the king of all Alphas is coming to her pack?

"Jackie, do you think my mate will be among those coming with the Lycan Alpha?

"I can't tell, but I do hope so."

I couldn't help but smile at the news, but then again, what if he's not among those coming? Well, I guess I just have to wait for whenever he comes, or maybe when I'm finally opportune to leave the pack house.

I helped with the arrangement of the house with Uncle Mike.

"Hello Veggie." Abel called out to me, smiling brightly.

"Don't call me that, only Uncle Mike is allowed to call me by that name." I said, rolling my eyes at him.

Abel is my cousin and uncle Mike's son, and uncle Mike loved me very much. So at school, Abel didn't waste time putting my bullies in a hot seat whenever he caught them bullying me.

He had been like a saviour to me at school, to the point that whenever he was around, they didn't dare bully me. But me being the independent type of girl, I didn't like the fact that Abel was helping me all the time, it seemed like I had a lot of bad luck and I wanted to avoid rubbing it on him.

It was better if I suffered alone, that way I could learn to get used to the harshness of the pack members. My mom always told me when I was little to never depend too much on anyone so as not to become a burden to the people around you.

I've always lived by those words, that's why I don't bother keeping friends, and it's not like anyone wants to be friends with me when they all think I'm the bad guy and Victoria is the good one.

I prefer they think of me that way, so I can be alone. Being alone had become my greatest hobby through the years.

"I saw Victoria and her group of friends with a good deal of baggage, I didn't need anyone to tell me that she'd gone shopping again.

Sometimes I wonder when she will ever get tired of getting new clothes every week.

She's always going down town with her friends to get the latest things and it's so annoying because she spends too much on beauty, but I've never seen her look different from what I've always known her to look like.

Most times she gets angry at the fact that I have smooth skin while hers was always rough. While she ran helter-skelter to make her skin better, I, for my part, just watched her use different creams and ointments on her skin.

I can't remember the last time I went downtown to get a dress, all my dresses have worn out, some of which I had even before I was eighteen, and now they are all jumpy and tight to my skin.

I wish I could go ask my dad for his credit card so I could also get a nice dress for myself before our guests arrive.

Furthermore, I know how forward Victoria can be; I heard them talking about meeting the Lycan king for the first time and how handsome he will be.

Every so often I think my sister is very crazy. How could she be thinking of a Lycan king whom she'd never met before? And besides, I think he must be an old man because, according to Uncle Mike, he last visited our pack when we were still little.

Victoria clearly does not think about how old this Lycan Alpha may be because she's just too possessed with becoming famous.

When I finally got to my room, I rummaged through my closet looking for a decent dress I could wear, but none was fine enough.

Suddenly, I remembered my mom sew each of us a gown before our coming-of-age ceremony. Mine was white, while Victoria's was pink. Victoria wore hers at the coming-of-age ceremony, but I refused to wear mine because no one would take notice of me, no matter what I wore.

It was a good thing I didn't wear that gown, considering how Victoria got the spotlight that day. No one ever took a glance at me; rather, they focused their attention on Victoria.

I put on the white dress my mother made for me for the very first time, and I couldn't help but gasp at how fitting the dress was on my body. It was as though my mom knew the right size she and her sister would be when we were finally of age.

I admired myself some more, posing for the mirror like I was some model being put on camera. If only I could become what I really wanted to be. I had spent my whole life here in the pack house, so I didn't know what the outside world looked like.

I wish I could be like those celebrities I always saw on magazines and Television.

My dream had always been to become a top model in the entire southern America and beyond.

My father had the connections, but I'm sure only Victoria will be given such an opportunity, since she was his favourite. Then again, I wouldn't wait for my dad's connections.

If I have the opportunity, I will struggle to become the model I want to be by myself.

Soon after words, I sat down in front of the mirror and began styling my hair. I oiled it and brushed it until it was smooth and shiny, flowing down my back. Everything about my features was just so perfect that I didn't have to use the most expensive creams to make my hair smooth and shiny unlike other girls.

My hair was naturally fine and smooth, it went with whatever way I wished to style it. After styling my hair, I brought out the Makeup kits I haven't used in ages. I couldn't help but ask myself why I was going to such great lengths to look beautiful.

"You might get to meet your mate today, silly". Jackie replied and that made me chuckle very hard.

"Thanks for reminding me, Jackie." I totally forgot that my mate might just be among those coming with the king.

Just as I was getting done with the makeup, Victoria barged into my room. Oh shit! Why do I always forget to lock the door behind me?

"What the hell, Vega! Why are you suddenly dressing up?" My heart sank at her question, just what kind of girl do I have for a twin?

Suddenly, Victoria started laughing so hard that I wondered if my dress was looking funny or maybe my makeup.

"What's so funny?" I asked carefully, confused at her.

"You are the one who's so funny Vega, don't tell me you are actually getting dressed for the arrival of the king, please don't be hilarious sister."

I looked at Victoria, still very confused about what she was trying to say. By the way, why on earth will I dress myself up for an old King?

"Now you are being funny Victoria, you think everyone wants to be like you. Even if everyone aspires to be like you, I'm so not interested in being you, and neither do I want to fight for an old King with you."

Victoria looked at me like I'd suddenly grown an extra head.

"Did you just say old?" She chuckled like a maniac this time.

"Anyway, I don't expect you to be up-to-date, but let me remind you, no one will notice you, if you have any intention of getting anyone to admire you tonight, then you are greatly mistaken because no one will!"

Victoria walked out of my room after saying those words, and as usual, she left banging on my door so loudly. If there was anyone to pull down my door, I was sure it would be Victoria.

I looked back at the mirror and just stared at myself. I just realised what my sister had said. It was highly possible that no one would notice, especially when Victoria had the specialty of stealing the show.

"You are letting her words get to you, Vega, you should have known by now that your sister is the second assistant to the devil." Jackie sighed inside Vega's head. Most times, Vega felt lucky to have Jackie as her wolf because most of the time when Victoria tried to bring her down, Jackie would lighten up her mood by encouraging, just as she had done now.

Vega continued with her makeup, and when she was done, she looked at herself in the mirror, admiring just how beautiful she looked.

Suddenly, she saw cars getting into their pack house gate. Vega immediately ran to the window to see the procession of cars flocking inside the compound.

There was no denying the fact now that the King was filthy rich, judging from the fleets of cars that arrived at the pack house.

When the people inside the cars came out, Vega opened her eyes in utter shock, they were so different from them. These men are so huge and muscled-up. Truly, Lycans are the greatest.

Vega couldn't help but think about the possibility that one among these handsome men with jet-black hair and huge muscles was her mate. Suddenly, Vega's wolf started jumping in her head.

"Jackie, what seemed to be the problem?"

"We should go outside now, Vega, let's not waste time." Jackie urged her to go out, but she suddenly became nervous because they hadn't gotten into the pack house yet, and even if they did, she just couldn't walk in on them like that.

Vega tried to calm her wolf down that they would go out in a few hours when the guests must have settled down.

Her sister must be trying her hardest to please this Lycan Alpha King. Just as she was about to go out due to Jackie's restlessness, she saw Victoria with her friends, they were trying to fix her makeup so she would be looking beautiful in front of the guests as she had said.

    VEGA "Can you please tell me who this Lycan king is?" Her father did not reply to her, but rather continued with what he was doing. Vega knew things wouldn't go as she planned, if her father was this quiet, then it only meant there was something fishy going on. "You knew that what happened to me was related to my sister's new-found mate, right?" This question seemed to have worked as her father raised his head to face her. She could tell from his expression that he wasn't expecting such a question from her. "Why don't you go get some rest?" "Rest?" How could her father treat her this way? when he knows fully what she was talking about? "I can't rest, father, please tell me Victoria isn't getting married to my mate!?" He froze, and the look in his eyes made her realise that she had been right all along. Uncontrollable tears flowed freely from her eyes at this knowledge. This was heart-wrenching, it was bad enough that he preferred he

    REYNOLD After getting the much-needed information about the white snow Alpha and his pack, Reynold decided to set out with his men. Arriving at white snow pack with his beta and some of his followers, he felt different the moment he got into the pack house. His wolf had gone crazily excited for reasons he couldn't tell. He was warmly welcomed by the Alpha and his pack members. They didn't waste time getting into business the moment he came. Fortunately, Alpha Blake had promised to be of help to him in searching for those unknown assassins. Reynold appreciated the help Alpha Blake was willing to give him—not that he trusts him to the maximum, but for the reason that his investigations about him came out positive, he decided to give him the benefit of the doubt by trusting his help. They were each given an executive guest room, which they resided in for the time being since the pack house was impressively gigantic and spacious inside. Later that

    VEGA "You will know when you meet him." Her father said, making his face expressionless. She wished she could ask more questions. Was she in trouble? Could it be that he had actually seen her? For goddess' sake, can she stop putting herself and her pack in trouble? "Don't forget to act natural, Vega; I believe you know what I mean." This made her a little confused, if she was in trouble, her father sure wouldn't say that to her. Immediately she ran back into her room, she showered as quickly as she could, not wanting to delay him. As she was thinking of what to wear, she couldn't help but wonder for what reason the Lycan king requested her presence. She thought of what to wear; she initially picked up a blue flowery gown but immediately dropped it back down when she realised she had no reason to look good in front of him since he'd already mated to her sister. She had to understand that there's nothing between them anymore, even though it still

    VEGA Vega concluded that leaving home was the best option for her. She packed up a few of her belongings and left the pack in the middle of the night. FIVE YEARS LATER The alarm on the table clock buzzed at 6 a.m., and a sleepy Vega lazily stretched forth her hands to put it off so she could get a good sleep. It worked the first time, since she slept for another hour. The alarm buzzed again, and this time, in trying to put it off, she fell with a thud, carrying the bed cover with her. "Ouch!..." Vega immediately stood up from the floor, rubbing her back, which hit the cold hard floor. Suddenly, she heard a knock on her room door. "Vega, are you okay?" Came Sandy's voice. "May I come in?" "Yes, you can." Vega muffled, still feeling the impact from the fall. She only just realised it was morning when she picked up the alarm clock. Just as she stared at the clock in shock, Sandy came in. "Oh my... you are late again..." San

    VEGA "But you know I can't, you are an Alpha." "If you insist, the reason I called you is that I want you to accompany me somewhere." Vega raised an eyebrow at him, "Where are we going?" She asked. "To White Star." Vega froze. She thought she might have heard him wrong. "To where?" "White Star, that renowned magazine company." Immediately Vega paled, her hands trembled, and beads of sweat instantly rushed to her forehead. Why was this happening to her? She thought she had escaped from her past but she was wrong; her past had suddenly started hunting her. "What's wrong, Vega? You are scaring me." She tried to compose herself, but her hands wouldn't stop shaking. "I'm fine." She managed to say as she wiped off the sweat on her forehead. "Why do you want to go there?" She asked very curious to know. "Well over the years, the Lycan king was known for rejecting the offers given by other companies." "This time, I b

    REYNOLD For a werewolf, finding their mate was the best thing that could ever happen to them, but for Lycan King Reynold, it seemed to be a different story entirely. He had thought having a mate would complete him, but from the day he left white snow pack, his emptiness and loneliness grew worse. His supposed mate wasn't what he wished she would be, and to top it all, she had completely brought nothing but shame and disgrace to him. In times when he needed her, she was either partying with the mateless she wolves or going to one club or another; she didn't act as a Luna should. Reynold had tried to understand her by giving her the benefit of the doubt that this behaviour was due to her being in a different environment, but that seemed to be wrong. Whenever he called her to attend business meetings with him so she could be by his side as his Luna, she would always give excuses not to attend. This had brought him immense sadness and sorrow; somet

The first plan for the mission was to go rescue his mate, father, and Alpha Gerald, who had supported him before now. The rest of the rogues would go rescue the other soldiers in Red Moon pack, while he would march to the King's mansion with his soldiers. They would kill each and every one of the king's followers. He would, then, fight the king in one-on-one combat. While his snipers will make a direct hit on him while they are fighting. Ivan smirked at his final plans with those who had pledged their allegiance to him. Finally, he's going to take charge of the war, and taking the throne is no longer far-fetched. While in deep thought, Michael sneaked at night since all operations would be carried out at night. "It is time, Alpha Ivan." Michael said in a whisper before opening the gates to the dungeon. Ivan immediately hurried out from the gates, and Michael led him outs

    VEGA The moment he walked in, she was aware because she perceived his scent, but then she was so sleepy that she couldn't lift her eyelids open. When he began walking close to her bed, her heart began to beat erratically. Not that she knew what he was about to do next, but she felt like she knew what was going to happen next. Reynold seemed to be staring at her in his long pause and silence. She began to wonder what he was thinking about at that very moment—if only she were that open-minded with him to ask. Suddenly, she could feel his face to hers even though her eyes were closed because she could feel his breath fanning her nostrils. His minty breath suddenly intoxicated her, and she felt like she needed more from where it came from. She began anticipating his touch, and just as she wished, he grazed her lips with his, which almost made her moan. This was something she had been anticipating for days now, and finally he touched hers at last.

He felt her actual need every night he lay on his bed, wondering why she was in the next room. He listens to her very heartbeat and her state of mind. The reason he didn't bother to be with her yet was because he wanted her to accept him of her own free will. But he noticed that the more he delayed and waited, the more obvious the possibility became that she would never ask for his attention or accept him anytime soon. Reynold stared at his gold wristwatch, which was perfectly tied around his wrist. The time was now 4 p.m. already, and this meant that he had to be on his way home soon. While he was in the office getting things done, his beta walked into the office. "Stanley, perfect!" Reynold immediately left his desk and directed his beta to take a s

Vega could feel it in her bones that the only way this war would end was when a war broke out. If the Red Moon pack is not exterminated, it is obvious that Ivan will never give up. And Vega wasn't ready to go through such a thing, especially when she's expecting a baby. She wouldn't want to birth her child in a chaotic situation, especially when enemies are lurking around. She's been staying in the King's mansion, ever since the incident with Victoria. He refused to let her go back, even more so because Sandy was no longer around.

Michael said in a whisper as he took him out of the dungeons late at night. When they finally arrived outside, Ivan thanked Michael for helping him out of the dungeon. Up ahead of them was Ethan, who waited for him in his car. Ivan began walking briskly, and even though the coast was clear in the area at that particular time, he could not help feeling extremely nervous and wary because no one knows the ways and manner in which the Lycan king operates. He walked briskly until he arrived at the hideout, where his brother was patiently waiting for him. The moment his brother saw him, he quickly opened the door to the front seat. Ivan immediately hopped in after eye-scanning the environment one last time. "What took you so long, brother? I've been waiting

It so happens that when his pack was raided, and his father and some head warriors were arrested, he wasn't around. He went out with some of his men to handle pack matters. The Lycan King was indeed smart, but when it came to choosing those he trusted, he was found lacking in that aspect. While he was in prison, it so happened that the guy in charge of his cell was a long-time pack member who left the pack when he discovered that his mate was from another pack. It was only after Ivan was brought into the dungeons that he saw Michael, who worked as a guard in the cell. Luckily for Ivan, Michael was his dungeon guard, which meant every aspect of his activity while inside the cell would be handled by Michael. This made Ivan believe that the moon goddess was actually helping him this time. With the help of Officer Michael, he has been able to talk to his broth

But knowing how much he'd hurt her made Vega mad, and now that he's holding her in his tight embrace, she's totally become helpless. It was hard to wriggle herself free from him, not because she could but because she was too lazy to. She took a glance at Edward, who was still in the room, mixing a serum. She could see him stealing glances at them with a broad smile on his face. For how long Reynold held her, she could not tell because she slept off in his arms. When she finally opened her eyes, she was surprised to find herself in his room. At that moment, so many things came to mind, but at the same time, she was speechless about what she wanted to say. She wondered why he had to take her out of the infirmary. Looking at the room where she shared it with him, she felt somewhat sad because the bed she lay on used to give her

That was the bitter truth: he was a monster because he did to her only what monsters do. He did not deserve anything. Ever since he found out about her pregnancy, he's been asking the moon goddess why she had to give him such a gift, which he did not deserve. He certainly did not deserve her love and care. Those times he had been in a coma and she had been working tirelessly just so his company wouldn't get into the enemy's hands, he felt like ripping out his heart and feeding it to the beast. Just for this reason, he's been avoiding her, too ashamed and guilty to show himself in front of her. So, what he did was go over to her house and watch her sleep every night. It was the only help his useless self could offer her at that particular time. Sometimes he gets the urge to go lie next to

Just as she was about to go in, she discovered that Gamma Rivers was tagging along. "Uhm, Gamma Rivers, I know you are trying to do your job, but I would like to talk to my sister alone, please." "Very well, Your Highness. I will be outside waiting for you." Rivers politely said to Vega. He stepped backward, so she could go alone. Vega, with the officer in front leading her, got into the section of the cell where Victoria was. The moment she got to the entrance of the cell, Victoria immediately strode to the gate of her cell, made with iron rods of equal size. "So you are finally here, prodigal sister." Vega closed her eyes; actually, she was expecting this. "Stop Victoria, I'm here to see you as a sister, not an enemy."
