"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"Oh Avery, are you done for the day?""Well not really, I've been up since morning, I think I just need to rest my body and I will be up and about again""Tsk tsk. You young girls are always so fragile and get weak easily. Anyway, you have really tried for us here in the kitchen, helping us greatly even when you didn't need to. Thank you very much, go have your rest and I'll prepare a good meal for you" the kitchen head told me gently."Thank you ma'am, I'll be off now" I smiled as I left. I better make it a chore to ask for her name, I can't keep on dressing here as kitchen head even if that was what she was. I was heading back to my room when I stopped, someone was crying very hard and it was in one of the guest rooms. "Is there a ghost in this house? Because I don't remember anyone staying in those rooms, they have nobody in them, so who could be in there crying. And its such a sad cry" I whispered as I stood listening to the sound.I followed the mournful sound unti
THIRD PERSON P.O.VThe women were thoroughly soaked to the skin with water, their hair was matted and plastered to their body, their heavy makeup was already flowing down their faces giving them a scary look. Damien frowned as he could make out shrimp scales and pieces leafy vegetables. The heavy smell of fish permeated the air and made him step farther away from them. "How could this happen""Who did this? My hair! My makeup!" They all screamed as they accessed their bodies."I don't know what happened, are you girls okay?" Damien asked with concern in his face but he dared not giving near them."Sir Damien, please can you help us?""Yes, can we take a bath in your place, please" They both implored him but Damien hurriedly shook his head with a look of horror on his face. The idea of letting them back into the pack house and into his room, to be tormented by the bad smell of fish was not in any way alluring to him so he didn't care if they might think he was heartless and cruel."
THIRD PERSON P.O.V"What do you mean by Lucien has a mate?""Yes Sir Damien, we want to know. You just said that Alpha has a mate? Where is she? Who is she?" Elder Samson asked with curiosity flashing in his eyes.Damien's eyes darted to Lucien as he cleared his throat and muttered."That...was a mistake, I didn't...I didn't mean what i said....that he already had a mate"Jessica shook her head fervently with wide eyes which were still red as she came closer to stand in front to Damien."Damien, I know you and you don't randomly blurt out sensitive things like this, so please..." She clutched his hand, "...what you just said, is it true? Does he really have a mate that I don't know about?" she asked him desperately."Alpha, you have to know that you can't keep sensitive issues like this to yourself, do you really have a mate?" Elder Jesse asked calmly.Lucien stated at them, still not saying anything. Jessica seemed to have lost her patience and rushed to him. She knelt on the floor b
THIRD PERSON P.O.VThe sound of boot covered footsteps thudded along the hall as Damien walked slowly towards the pack meeting house. He had checked Lucien's office but he wasn't there so he was heading to the one place his brother might be, considering that his brother was a workaholic. He ran his hands through his hair as his lips pressed against each other in a thin line and his eyes narrowed into a frown, he wasn't proud of what he had said back in the room but he wasn't that eager to apologize."Oh well, lets just get it done." He mumbled to himself as he approached the door. His ears twicthed as he heard the voices of two Elder wolves which he was familiar with. With a sigh, he opened the door and then his eyes widened. "Alpha, you just have to choose one and make her your mate, that way, you can solve your problem of a mate and bring balance to the pack." Elder Samson, a man in his late forties with bushy brown hair and an ambitious gleam in his brown eyes spoke as he pushed
AVERY'S P.O.V"Damien!"I exclaimed in shock as he burst into the room. He looked angry, his hair was flying all over his face, he eyes were green but had a red tinge and his face was red with green veins pulsing on it. He rushed to me and pulled me towards him. I stared up at him as his hands snaked my waist protectively while he faced Alpha Lucien."What are you doing here Damien?" Alpha Lucien asked him with a glare as he crossed his hands on his chest."I should be asking you the same question Lucien. Why are you holding Avery in your room?""I was hungry, I ordered for my meal to be brought, she brought it but then I needed her to feed me because I was still tired, that's it" I blinked at him in wonder, so he can speak that much in one sentence, huh."And you couldn't find anyone else to do that? It had to be my own personal maid?"He shrugged as he spread his arms. "She came in here, I didn't call her? I was even surprised to see her with my meal."Damien looked at me, his eyeb
I'm at Alpha Lucien's door, my hands are raised and poised at the door but I can't knock. I don't want to knock but I have to and I will."You got this Avery" I took a deep breath to calm my racing heart then I knocked once, heard no response then knocked again."Come in" a gruff voice came from the other side, with a full I opened the door."Good afternoon Alpha, your lunch, I'll drop it here. If there is anything you need please let me know" I recited like a robot without looking up as I placed the tray on his table and began to back away."Avery?"I froze as I heard my name then with a straightening of my shoulders, I turned to face him with a professional smile on my face, not quite reaching my eyes."Yes sir"He was sitting on his bed, his long legs stretched out in front of him with a laptop on his laps, thank goodness he was wearing a shirt but still I could see the outline of his pecs and the way the shirt wrapped around his biceps tightly. His tattoos were left revealing and
AVERY'S P.O.VI decided not to dwell on any of these events that happened in my dream, what mattered is that I'm safe, at home with Damien and Alpha Lucien...Speaking of Alpha Lucien. My hands immediately flew to my lips."We kissed" I muttered, then I squealed and ducked under the blanket while I screamed some more and rolled on the bed. By the time I stopped, I was already tangled in the blanket and the bedsheets and my hair was a mess as it flopped all over my face. I blew a breath as I stared up at the ceiling."He kissed me"He kissed me, why didn't I behave like this yesterday when he did it. Was it because I was still coming down from the andrenaline shock of almost being killed and then being saved by him? Ahhhhhhhrg! He kissed me and I liked it no, I loved it. "He kissed my lips, why did he kiss me? Is he..."I shook my head, no way. There was no way he wanted me, I'm not worth anything to him so why would he want me. Then why did he kiss me? My hands rested on my lips as I
AVERY'S P.O.VI was standing in a field, no, I think its a forest. The place was filled with trees both huge and small, grasses, dried twigs and fallen branches littered the ground. I looked around trying to see where I was. Suddenly I gasped, I was in the forest, right Where Alpha Lucien had saved me from the huge bear. I knew that because I was standing right in front of the rock I had hit my head on. Immediately I thought that, I winced, slowly I pressed my fingers to my forehead. It felt wet there, I brought my hand back to see that it was stained with blood."But what am I doing here? Alpha Lucien and I already left this place. I could have sworn I slept in my bed last night" I mumbled out loud as I stared into the distance. Suddenly, a loud roar shook the forest and made me scream out in fear. I looked towards the sound and blanched in horror as I saw the huge bear that had attacked me before rushing with all its speed towards me. I screamed out again in fright. I thought Alpha
THIRD PERSON P.O.V"Dammit!" Lucien cursed madly as he burst into his room leaving the door to slam itself close. Veins were pulsing on his neck and forehead, his nostrils were flared as he breathed harshly. He didn't know what was wrong with him, he hadn't meant to lash out at Jessica but it had just happened. And to be honest, it felt good, he blamed himself for not doing so sooner."Avery"He muttered thickly as he flopped onto his soft bed and stared up at the white ceiling. His purple eyes were swirling with red tings. He was jealous and madly so. He saw the relieved look on her face immediately she saw Damien and rushed to meet him. Her eyes twinkled and shine with interest as she looked up at him and spoke to him. Something red and fury kept hitting him in his chest that all those looks were supposed to be directed at him.'You decided to reject her. If you want her back then you have to accept her again and make us whole.'"Like hell I will..." he gritted out then he sighed a
