"I said where she is she, didn't I say all unmated females be brought in front of me" he growled, his eyes already turning a guttural black showing his Lycan side.
"Y..yes, Alpha but...but the only girl remaining is just an Omega, not fit for your presence." Alpha Maxine stuttered as he tried to explain.
"You have no right to decide that, now take me to her" he demanded.
His brother followed him as they went to the kitchen, there was a door, he pushed it open.
He was frozen solid, his hands hung in the air as he stared at the girl. Then he smelled it, he heard it.
MATE!
His wolf was prowling under his skin, restless as they had finally found her. She smelled like vanilla and cake, so delicious and he loved cakes. The girl was still seated on the floor, staring at them with wide eyes, when he unconsciously said,
"MATE!"
The girl froze immediately, then was dragged from the room by the couple. He was screwed. Badly.
**********************************
The door was suddenly opened and I was dragged harshly and thrust in front of everyone.
"Alpha, we are very sorry, this is why we had to keep her here, she is really very unstable and not suitable to be in your presence" my father told him quickly.
My heart froze as I heard the word "Alpha", did I just fly on top of the Alpha King, Oh shit. I'm going to die, I know it, if he is as ruthless as they say he is then my life is doomed. But I didn't get to see his face, too bad, I would like to see his face before I die. So I took a deep breath and as discreet as I could I raised my head to stare into the most beautiful face I have ever seen, even more beautiful than Chase. His eyes were purple reminding me of the rainbow, his face was so chiseled and dreamy and beautiful, and his hair, Wow, his hair was blonde and looked so soft that I wondered what it would feel like to run my hands through them. His lips were so plump, many would call them kissable lips but yeah, that's what they were. My eyes strayed back to his eyes and strangely they were completely black, both the iris and pupil, that was really scary. That's when it dawned on me, he was actually staring back at me, with a squeal, I hurriedly dropped my face down. I'm in so much shit, but...my brain reasoned, at least we know what he looks like. I agreed.
"Who is she ?" I heard his gruff voice and I couldn't help but shiver, his voice felt like a million hands running through your body.
"Well...well she is..."
"Who is she?" he asked again, my heart was beating so loud.
"She is.."
"I'm just a servant, Alpha." I just had to answer, because I knew it was hard for them to tell him that I was their daughter.
"Rise" I heard him say and I did.
"Alpha, you don't have to trouble yourself with someone like her, I can deal with her myself." My father said, in my heart I didn't want my father to punish me, I wanted to be punished by him. That sounds weird the way I said it.
"Did I ask you for an input?" He thundered at my father who whimpered a little, even I almost fell to the ground but I held myself.
"Good, then keep quiet and let the Alpha speak"
That was another voice, I took a peak and Men! Do Lycans always look this good. He had the same height as the Alpha, and they are tall, same hair color, but different eye color. This has to be the half blood Lycan brother, although he wasn't as buff and handsome as the Alpha King. Just saying.
"Look into my eyes". He ordered,
I shuddered, there was no way I'm doing that. So I shook my head, earning a collective gasp from everyone around me. Then he came closer until he was standing chest to breast in front of me, I could smell his scent, like rain and cookies and I love cookies. Strange I can scent him like this, its like my wolf is getting recess. What is happening.
"You do know that you are my mate, right?" He dropped the bombshell making everyone gasp, even me.
This was crazy right, it was a joke. That's when I raised my face to look at him, his eyes were still black, what's up with that. I felt the urge to take my eyes down but I had to listen to what he was saying while staring into his eyes. He seemed surprised that I wasn't backing down. There was no way I was going to fall for this, not anymore.
"I don't think so Alpha."
"But I think you do" he answered me.
"Alpha, you can't have an Omega as your mate, she is absolutely useless and a trash." My sister said quickly, I didn't flinched neither did he make a move at her words.
"Yes, Alpha, you can't have someone like her." My mother chorused.
"The goddess told me someone will be given to me to help me, but I can't help but be really disappointed in her choice" he said angrily.
"I'm sorry Alpha, I think that the goddess must have made a mistake because I don't feel anything" I told him, because I wasn't really feeling anything, just restlessness.
"If I were to accept you, what would you do?" He questioned
"Then I would refuse, because I know that someone like me is not fit to be anyone's mate" I answered, because I was no longer scared, I knew he wouldn't hurt me. Something flashed in his eyes but it disappeared quickly so I didn't have the chance to see it.
"But..." I continued, "I would like you to take me as your servant, please." There was no fear in my voice, I wanted to leave this place.
"Are you speaking nonsense, how dare you" my father roasted at me.
"But I have no use for you, I have enough servants at my beck and call, " he taunted.
"Still take me, I will do anything." I pleaded with my head down.
"I will take her brother" my head whipped to see Damien looking at me with curiosity in his eyes, he came closer to his brother.
"I wouldn't mind having her as a personal maid to me" he spoke softly, what was his game. Alpha Lucien looked at him and at me for a while, then he nodded.
"As you wish, she is your maid, she can't be my Luna" he told him, but inside me I was hurt that he didn't want to keep me and it hurt really bad, but no. I want to be strong and I will not show weakness or pain. Rejection is a normal thing to me, but as long as I was leaving here, I'm okay. As I stared at Alpha Lucien's face, he looked angry, I don't know if it was at me or his brother,
but he didn't stop clenching his fist.
AVERY'S P.O.V"So tell me, what is your name?""Huh?" I blinked at Damien sitting beside me. He looked at me, his gaze expectant."Um_my name is Avery...Avery Blackclaw....." i remembererd I no longer belonged there, "...just Avery""I see, well Avery. I look forward to your service."I bowed my head quickly, "Yes Sir"He chuckled and pat my head ruffling my hair, I froze, unable to move."Its okay, you just looked so cute""Um...er..thank you?""You're wel....""I did not put you both in here to talk, you are master and servant. Act like it" Alpha Lucien growled from where he sat beside me. Yes, I was placed between them and honestly I didn't know how to behave. My ex mate and my new master, too awkward, I tried my best to make sure my skin didn't make contact with either of them, it would be rude to do so according to my father. I had wanted to stay in a different car but Damien had been adamant and demanded I stay with him since I was his personal maid. When I had agreed and moved
THIRD PERSON P.O.V"Damn it. I've never seen them in this number before." Lucien growled as he surveyed the the wolves. There were about twenty maybe even more wolf shifters ahead of them, all snarling with their fangs. Not that he felt intimidated but this was not the time for this, he wanted to go home and get some alone time. And this here was tampering his plans. The wolves were twice larger than normal wolves and all of them directed their gaze at him or to be specific something behind him. "They keep trying to head for the car" the man who has reported to Lucien spoke behind him."I think I know what they want but I don't know why." Damien grunted, his voice was gruff and laced with anger. He knew they were targeting Avery. Lucien almost turned back to glance at the car but he didn't. It wasn't his job to do so....not anymore. "Lets get this done, I want clean kills. When we are done burn down the bodies." He commanded."Yes Alpha.""Yes"They both answered him.Lucien took
AVERY'S P.O.V"Ave...ke up..." the voice was calling but I couldn't get what it was saying."Hmm" I moaned as I tried to follow the voice, it sounded unclear."Avery, please wake up" the voice pleaded softly, the words were clear now, I had to head for the voice."Avery" a stronger voice called my name, it sounded familiar and strangely it held more importance to me but I couldn't point out why.I immediately opened my eyes."Huh"I was lying flat on my back on...leaves? I could see the cloudless sky, I couldn't see the sun so which meant the sun had gone down. How long had it been? I took a deep breath, I could smell the forest, the sand and hear the chirpings from little animals, it felt nice but why was I outside and on the ground."You are finally awake huh?""Huh?"I turned to look at who just spoke."Sir Damien!"I tried to get up but he rushed and pushed me back."Stay still, you need to rest.""Rest?... I frowned, "...but I'm fine"He shook his head and smiled grimly his green
AVERY'S P.O.VEnd of Flashback"And that's what happened" The place was dead silent after I finished telling them everything, it stayed silent for five minutes. I cautiously raised my head to look at Alpha Lucien, he was standing in front of me, his face unmoving except for the way his eyes were round and a vein pulled on his forehead. Sir Damien was no better, he had a flabbergasted look on his face and his eyes were wide open. He kept opening and closing his mouth but gave up and ran his hands through his hair roughing it up."Um..." I started, trying to get their attention."Are you saying...." An exhausted voice began above me, "...you were in the car but then you suddenly walked into the forest and were almost attacked by a wolf but then was saved by some....light figure?" Alpha Lucien drawledI blinked at him, "Yes alpha, to sum it all up"He closed his eyes and raised his head up and muttered a swear word."Shit! Get back to the car, you can walk by yourself"It wasn't a quest
AVERY'S P.O.V"Luci! You are finally back, I missed you""I missed you too" Alpha Lucien spoke softly to the girl clinging to his body, she had wrapped her legs round his waist the way a koala would wrap around a tree, I didn't know what to think of this. Who was she, no one ever mentioned him having a sister or...I flinched as I stared at them, he was smiling at her in soft almost obliging way. Was she his girlfriend. Ouch! That hurt a bit...maybe a lot."Avery come on" Sir Damien propelled me towards the two.By the time we reached them, Alpha Lucien had finally gotten her off him but the young woman took his hand and brought it close to her chest, she seemed clingy and stared at him with an enraptured look but I doubt he noticed it. I didn't know why I was feeling annoyed when I saw the way she was holding him, my wolf yearned to rip her hands off him but alas he wasn't mine, not that he was in the first place"Hey Damien, nice to see you too." She grinned at himSir Damien rolled
AVERY'S P.O.VI audibly gasped but stopped myself from making another sound by pressing my hands to my lips. I felt the temperature in the room turn cold, Sir Damien and Alpha Lucien stared at each other wordlessly. Then Alpha Lucien nodded, it seemed they had been speaking through the pack link. He glanced at me and held my gaze for a few seconds before turning to Jessica."I never did find her"My heart tugged painfully as my wolf whimpered."Oh" her voice was a tone higher as she grinned, her eyes sparked with delight as she stared up at him. "Maybe you don't have a mate Luci" she tightened her hand on his.He turned away from us disengaging her hand, "Yes, maybe. I'm going to my room""Okay, I'll come with you""No" he growled without turning back, "I want to be alone""Alright", she pouted, the action looked very cute on her due to her already chubby cheeks making her look like a baby.Sir Damien stuffed his hands inside his pants pocket and headed for the other stairs, I stood
AVERY'S P.O.V"W..ww...what?" I squeaked in shock as I stared at Alpha Lucien who was still holding out the cutleries to me. I glanced worriedly at Sir Damien, his face had a good natured smile pasted on it but I could see his eyebrows twitching, his hands were white as they clutched his fork. Jessica looked about to burst, she moved to say something but Sir Damien held her back with a piercing glare."I said, feed me" "B..but Alpha...I...im not sure...""Do it?" He promptly handed the cutleries to me and pushed his plate towards me while he stood up and sat directly beside me. He watched me and waited, his eyebrows were raised as if challenging me. I sighed internally, this was madness. If it had been Jessica or Sir Damien who had made this request, I wouldn't have been this flustered. This was Alpha Lucien, coupled with the fact he was the alpha and has been my mate, this whole scene is chapter of awkwardness but I was too powerless to oppose.Swallowing silently, I held the fork i
THIRD PERSON P.O.VLucien ran his tongue along his teeth as he headed back to his room, the taste of her blood still lingered in his mouth. He had never imagined that he would meet someone in his spot nor could he have foreseen that she would be the one. He had never initially wanted to be the one to create the pack link for her, creating pack links was an easy thing. As long as you were related to the current Alpha by blood, you could create it. And since she was also his brother's maid, the link should have been done by him and in a less complex location like her hand. But when he had seen her standing under the star lit sky in the middle of the garden, he just couldn't stand the thought of his brother getting a taste if her blood and he had chosen her neck because it gave him the impossible dream of one day sinking his fangs in her neck, claiming her. The sweet taste of her blood still lingered in his mouth and the soft, pale texture of her skin had called out to him with illicit p
AVERY'S P.O.V"You guys remember I told you that I had a mate who rejected me before you right?"Lucien frowned. "Yes""Well, he is actually in that pack too and he rejected me for my older sister.""But I thought you said he was an alpha" Damien askedI shrugged, "He was going to marry my sister and he was my father's beta's son. So to me, he seemed already like an alpha. But in hindsight maybe I should have made it clear""I'm not inviting them" Lucien growled"I agree" "No problem, but is it because he was my ex mate or because he rejected me for my sister?" I asked with a raised eyebrows.Lucien turned away and headed for the door."Both. Go to sleep""Goodnight Avery" Damien took me into a high as he whispered gently, I took a whiff of his scent. He smelled like cologne."Goodnight Damien"*********************************"Okay, all I have to do is shift in mid air and attack so why can't I do it?" I groaned out in frustration as I stared at the tree that had lost a few of it b
AVERY'S P.O.V"So...I'm actually not an orphan"I gazed at each of them to gauge their expressions, the two stared intently at me then shared a look, their eyebrows were lifted and their eyes were wide open. I rubbed my sweaty hands against my shirt."I was actually a normal girl, treated like a princess until it was discovered that I was an omega unlike my family of alphas." I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. "My parents are actually Alpha Maxine and Luna Mara""What!""How"They stared at me, mouth open, eyes wide and pupils round."But, I saw how they treated you, it was akin to how a slave is treated" Damien grunted with balled fists."Can you please continue Avery" Lucien nodded at me."As I was saying, I was a normal girl, I was the last child of my parents and they loved me dearly, they used to shower me with love and affection. Even though it was apparent that I was a bit different from my siblings considering the rare color of my hair, they still loved me" I stared at m
AVERY'S P.O.VAfter I was finally put down by the pack member and everyone has settled and gone back to their homes, I ran excited to Lucien."I did it, I did it. I told you I could do it" I squealed around him while pumping my fists into the air. He laughed as he watched me, his eyes narrowing into slits as he suddenly picked me up and spun me around."Ahh, Lucien! I'm covered in blood, you'll stain your clothes" I yelled as he held me."Its okay, its just clothes. I'm happy that you are safe and you did well."Pleasure filled my whole body as he said this, I let my body relax against his chest and took in his earth delicious smell, it seemed to calm me down. "Thank you for letting me do it, I wouldn't have done it if you hadn't let me" I murmured against his chest."No" his chest vibrated as he answered, "You were the one who did everything, I thought you were too weak to do anything but you proved me wrong by going out there and getting not one but two big deer's, if you haven't g
AVERY'S P.O.VI was in my wolf form in the middle of the forest, my eyes and ears were alert as I tried to take in my surroundings. The morning had come by so quickly, I barely slept due to how nervous I was. So I was up and ready early to face my fate. The pack members were already waiting for me as I stepped outside the pack house, everyone was here except for Damien and Lucien oh and Jessica. According to tradition, no member if the alpha family is meant to see me off, though it would have been reassuring to see Damien or Lucien and I might regret saying this, Jessica. But I was here now, praying and hoping I could come out of this victorious. I decided to go deeper, I'm sure I could find prey in there. So quietly, as my instincts could guide me, I hunched shoulders keeping my body low. I waited about twenty minutes then I heard a shuffle a few feet away from me. I hurried over there, there were two deers there, and they were fat and meaty. I knew if I attacked now, I would only be
AVERY'S P.OVI was running, running fast. Don't worry, I was running away, I'm not that much of a coward. I was actually running to Lucien, he was going to explain to me why I have to hunt and why he didn't let me know and when was he planning on doing so. I think in my haste, I forgot to knock and so I pushed the door open."Lucien, we need to talk right.....Oh my god!" I screamed as I turned away while covering my eyes."What are you doing here?""I..I'm so sorry. I just need to s... speak to you about something"Lucien was naked, I mean butt naked and he was holding his huge junk in his hand. I might have a wild guess here if I said he had to have been masturbating and I caught him at the wrong time. He didn't say another word, I heard shufflings, maybe he was dressing, hopefully covering everything. Did you see his chest? There were muscles in the muscles. His member look was huge, like if I ever got lucky, I hope he would use it on me. Damn."What is it you wanted to speak" he as
AVERY'S P.O.V"Ah, I slept so good" I yawned immediately I woke up. I went to the bathroom, brushed my teeth and washed my face. My eyes were still blurry as I knocked on Damien's room."Oh Avery, good morning" Damien greeted immediately he opened the door."Good morning Damien. I'm sorry I woke up late. What duties do I have to do today, do you need your breakfast now?"Damien stared at me with a look of of horror and confusion."Damien what is wrong?"He immediately dragged me into his room and closed the door."Avery what were you thinking?""What?" I shrugged, very confused myself.He ran a hand over his face."Avery you are the Luna now, why would you come here to serve me?"I frowned at him, "but I am your maid""You are the Luna""Which I wasn't until yesterday so what can stop me from serving you?".Suddenly, the door burst open."Me"Lucien walked towards me with an angry look on his face, he grabbed my hand and levelled me a glare."What are you doing here?""I'm here to car
AVERY'S P.O.V"Alpha Lucien, I accept you as my mate. Not because I want to but because i know it is important for the pack...."I stared straight at him as I spoke, though my legs were shaking a bit from all the attention focused on me. I took a deep breath as I continued, "...I know I'm not what you were expecting as a mate and your Luna and I understand that. When and if you find the Luna that will suit your pack and your expectations, I will step down readily.""Like hell you will, I do not agree to this" Jessica shrieked as she ran in front of me, her face was twisted in anger as she balled her fists at me. I moved back a bit to avoid her hands."You. I won't let you take him, I won't let you have him. Like you said, you don't deserve him at all.""Lady Jessica, that is enough...." Martha snapped as she stood in front of her,"...I think its high time someone told you that your actions are not reasonable. Alpha Lucien is your brother not your husband nor your mate. You have no rig
AVERY'S P.O.V"I accept you as my mate," Lucien declared again, his voice firm and authoritative as he glanced round the pack dating anyone to oppose. The pack fell silent, they all stared at me awaiting my response. I'm sure they are all waiting for me to accept him. But I won't, I can't. I'm not worth of him and I'm sure I will only be a stain in his name. I'm sure he had no choice in this. Jessica coupled with the elders stressing on him getting a mate must have driven him to the wall. I raised my eyes slowly to look into his eyes, if I was foolish and didn't know anything, I would have accepted just by looking at his face. His eyes were dark and appeared sincere, but I knew that underneath those emotions was a man tired and desperate for peace. I slowly shook my head, his eyebrows rose high into his forehead.'I'm not yet sure, please let me think about it'Then without glancing at anyone, I ran into the house and raced to my room. Before reaching up to my door, I could tell that
AVERY'S P.O.VThe whole place was quiet after Jessica's outburst. Everyone stared at me in shock as they began to murmur."I knew something was fishy about her""She just came to our pack suddenly and worked her way up to alpha Lucien""Do you think she knew she was his mate?""And she is an omega, she is not fit to be our Alpha's mate"I stayed silent in the midst of all these numbers, there was nothing I could do but mope with my eyes wide open as I stared at everyone. "Alpha, is it true? She is your mate?"An elder stepped forward with an incredulous look on his wrinkled face. "We already knew you had a mate but...her? Is she really?" Another elder asked.Lucien was silent so I glanced at him so I could hear him speak but it seemed like he had no intention speaking because his face was impassive as he stared down at Jessica who maybe might have realized that she had messed up. She was biting her lips and wringing her hands as she glanced occasionally at Lucien but not meeting my e
