**Octavia**
The next morning when I woke up, my head was pounding and I could hear the chattering from downstairs I knew that everyone was probably awake by now.
I groaned softly, trying to cover my ears when someone cleared their throats.Blue eyes, long blonde hair…“Mum?” I whispered, opening my heavy eyes as I sat up to look at her.She grinned as she looked at me, her eyes teary. “Breakfast is ready downstairs,” she said, turning on her heel before I peeled off my sheets.I was in my T-shirt. Did I change into these last night? I inwardly asked myself as I looked at myself.‘I am sorry:” I said to her before she could leave.She stopped in her tracks, turning to me and glancing at me. “Your omelet will get cold,” she responded without actually saying anything.Did she make omelets? “Why don’t you freshen up and I will reheat it for you?” She suggested and walked out of my room as I sighed heavily, nodding my head.I sighed heavily, looking at my bed. She probably came to help out in the night and made sure I was okay.I quickly made my bed and I went to take a shower. Memories of my handsome stranger filled my mind as I run fingers over my hand, recalling how his touch felt. His skin against mine.I can’t believe I am thinking about a man I am meant to be having a one-night stand with.I quickly freshen up and got into a pair of black joggers and loose white tees and sneakers before rushing downstairs.“Good morning Kiddo,” I said, fist-bumping with Adele and settling down.“Is Dad still in?” I asked no one in particular as I looked around.“No. He had to leave early.” She responded as I faked a smile. She placed my omelet down and a glass of coffee.She brought some pills into a small cup and went to get her things. “Did you come with any formal dresses?” She asked me as I looked at Adele, then back at her, wondering why she was asking.“Um... Not really, I just came with...” “I will send someone to bring over some dresses.” She finished packing up her things as I sighed heavily.‘Wait, I have to—““Can I drive you to work?>” I offered, as she scoffed, shaking her head. I knew she was upset and probably not showing it right now, but I needed to make up for not going to see her first.“Mum, please,” I pleaded, clasping my hands together.“Fine. Finish up your food. We can look at dresses while you do that,” she said to me as I grinned at her and she took out her tablet.‘But why do I need dresses?” I asked, digging into my omelet.I didn’t understand why I would suddenly need dresses to wear. After all, I was probably called to be part of Avery’s security, which I am sure of.‘Because you are one of the few women who will be welcoming the Alpha King’s people,” She said“The what?’ I choked on my coffee as she looked at me with her eyebrows raised.“Mum, you are joking, right? I can’t be part of... I mean, I definitely can’t…” I stuttered as she tilted her head.“I have been away for five years. You surely can’t expect me to—”“Yes. You have been away for five years, Octavia Cohen. And what’s the first thing you do when you come back to town?” She paused as she fought back the tears that filled her eyes.“Mum, I am sorry,” I apologized, dropping everything and standing up to approach where she was standing.I know it hurt her feelings. I should have gone in to see her, but I was at the pack house. All the memories of that night finding out that my boyfriend was not my mate came back in an instant.“I am sorry, Mum. I wanted to see you, but...” I paused as she sniffled, looking away from me.“I should get going. I will be late” She grabbed her bags as I rushed to her.“I am a terrible daughter. I have failed you all this time, but I wanted to see you when I came back,” I said...“Mum, she came to the pack house,” Adele added as I turned to look at her‘Adele,” I said, almost in a whisper, and she lowered her head.Wait... How did she know I got to the pack house?“You should have called me. You should have called your mother. Do you know how many nights I am worried about you? The questions I asked myself?” She asked me, her tears finally falling from her blue eyes.“Mum” I whispered.I hated myself for making her cry. She deserved better. She deserved better from me.“I wonder if you had a roof over your head. Did she eat? Who called for her? But what do you do when you get back in town?” She asked me as I went closer to her, holding her hands.‘I am sorry, Mum. I have failed. But I knew your prayers to the goddess kept me safe,” I assured her as she chuckled, looking away.“I am sorry I worried you” I held on tight to her hands and she nodded her head.“I promise to make up for everything while I am here, okay?” I tilted my head, trying to look at her face, and she smiled.“Do you want me to cook later?” I offered, and she scoffed.“No. thank you. I don’t want to die of food poisoning,” she added as I chuckled, pulling her into a tight hug using my height as an advantage over her.“Let’s go. I am sure Arwen might be panicking.” She said to me as I quickly grabbed her bags and gestured for her to walk out fast and she rolled her eyes.I grabbed my phone from the table and winked at Adel, who waved at me as I walked out.“So why is the King suddenly coming down from his kingdom for the ceremony? Is that why security is tight?” I asked her, opening the door for her as she got in.“Well, a lot of things have happened in the last five years and the King is coming for the ceremony. You do realize he rules us so he will probably want to see if our new alpha is worthy and he might also be looking for his mate,” she added as I drove away thinking about everything.“Wyatt is worthy. Why bother about that? He surely has other plans,” I stated as I finally pulled over at the pack house and she looked at me.“It’s not Wyatt they are worried about.” She said, coming out of the car I frowned, wondering what she was talking about.“Who are they worried about?” I asked her as we walked inside the pack house.“Your sister,” she said to me as I frowned. I took in a heavy sigh as a familiar scent hit my nostrils.I would recognize that scent from anywhere. I was obsessed with it and still am.I lifted my head, looking at the staircase as my eyes met the eyes of the person I didn’t expect to find here this morning.“Fuck,” I muttered under my breath.“Wyatt?” I lifted my eyes, looking at him as a smile curved up on his lips looking at me. I swallow hard, wondering if this is happening. He strides over to where I am standing and I can feel my heart racing. Can he hear it? Should I just turn and leave? What should I do? I inwardly ask myself.
‘Alpha, Luna’ I curtly bowed my head, acknowledging them. “Oh, moon goddess! Look at how she’s grown Warren,” the Luna exclaimed as she turned around coming to hug me as I smiled I was the best suitor as Luna in everyone’s eyes, but fate played a stupid game with us. “Look at you” she hugged me a
“You don’t think about your mother?” she asked me as I nodded my head. “Of course. I have my mum here and her name is Azalea,” I said, and she wrapped her arms around my arm. “How do you do it?” she asked me as we both made our way through the garden heading back to the training ground “Do what?”
Octavia’s point of view By the time they finished trying to find people I could work with and get into all the details. I was pretty exhausted and just wanted to take a shower and have a beer. “Done?” Mum asked me as I finished packing up my things in the training center. I turned to her, and she
“This looks beautiful on you,” I complimented as I turned her to face the mirror and I heard her sigh heavily. “This is so beautiful,” she whispered, bringing her hand to the pendant. A smile curved up on her lips. “Do you like it?” I asked her and she gave me a nod, her eyes falling on the box th
OCTAVIA After getting home from our late evening shopping, I quickly took a shower and changed into a pair of leggings and an oversized light blue shirt before coming downstairs. I found Dad and Adele chatting while Mum heated some food for everyone. “Evening, Dad. Hey Champ,” I said to both of t
I moaned softly, wanting to touch his neck, but he grabbed my hand with his other hand, pinning me back to the bed while his other finger slowly circled my clit. I have always had my way with men, but this was different. I let him take control of me, leading the way. The way his touch felt towards
Octavia’s point of view >>>> After what seemed like my third orgasm, I ended up sleeping with the stranger I met last night. For the first time in a while, I had slept without having nightmares. I heard the alarm on my phone go off and I quickly grabbed it as I looked at the naked man sleeping nex
“Take care of her,” she said as they all murmured about I chuckled, watching her walk away with Micah, who was driving her back to the airport. “Should we pass by the craven cottage?” Finn asked as they all walked away chatting with Mum. Gabriel came closer, wrapping his arm around my waist, and p
Octavia Standing over by the graveyard, I let my tears stream down my face as the body of Megan was lowered into the graveyard. I didn’t expect that I would ever care about someone like that. She was loyal to me despite getting in trouble because of me. She would always defend me and her love for
I stayed in her arms, as she comforted me while her hand gently stroked my back. “Luna?” Darius’s voice came as I pulled away from Mum, quickly wiping my tears away. “Yes?” “Alpha Aymeric is requesting your presence,” He said I heaved a sigh. Nodding my head. “I will be there. " He curtly bowed
Octavia I walked through the streets of West Lands back to the pack house as I looked at all the dead bodies on the ground. My heart ached at the sight of all the dead bodies on the road, I placed my hand on my chest as the ones with strength helped those without strength. It was like we just exp
“I am sorry,” he whispered to me as I shook my head.“No. No.” I shook my head as she laughed.“Love,” she whispered as she grabbed me by my hair, pulling me from him as he bled to death, the color on his face changing.“Kill him too.” She ordered as I looked at Aymeric in agonizing pain. I couldn’t
Octavia’s point of view"Where are they coming from?” I asked Adele, as she showed me everything on the tablet.‘They are coming from the coast,’ she said as I inhaled sharply. “We need to make sure they don’t get to the city. Carly, I need you to stay with Mum and Adele. Find somewhere safe to hi
Octavia “Octavia!” Gabriel’s voice came as he rushed into the room, coming towards me as I gulped down the lump that formed in my throat. “What the hell is happening?” I asked him as he pulled off the chain from my hands. “Am so sorry,” He whispered, pulling me into his arms. I wrapped my arms ar
Gabriel How the fuck did she get her to this side of the world? I inwardly asked as I looked at Marilynn, whose eyes were turning blue as soon as we were on the shores of the sea. Micah standing by my side with Luca just like it was a few years ago when I made a deal with them. “What the fuck are
Octavia’s point of view “Help!” I shouted, trying to free myself from the restraints of silver chains. I felt like my body was on fire. Everything was boiling within me. “Gabriel?” I tried to link to him, but it was like our link was cut short. What the fuck was happening right now? I groaned as
