As we traveled through the silent road, a thousand and one thoughts ran through my head.

I was lost and had not the slightest idea what was going to happen, especially with this man I was leaving with.

I was sad and hopeless. I was blank and continued to stare into oblivion. Nine months and I'd be free to leave after I had given him the heir that he wanted, I managed to give myself some hope.

I reminisced about what happened a few minutes ago and was almost on the verge of tears. My stepfather hadn't even thought twice before sending me off, and for what? A piece of land. Anger welled up in me but it was futile and of no use.

We drove on and on until we were almost at his pack. I knew because he mentioned it in his next statements. "We'll be arriving at my pack in a moment. I want you to be on your best behavior."

His words left me dumbfounded. What did he mean? I tried to think it through in my head but to no avail.

"In my best behavior? I don't seem to understand what you mean by this."

He scoffed, slowly turning his face towards me. He had a sinister look on his face, one that irked me so much.

"I'm so sure you understand what I'm talking about," he said, clearing his throat loudly.

"I'll break it down so you can understand very well what I want from you. You aren't to spill our arrangement to anyone. It should stay between us, got it?"

I kept mute, pondering what to say to him but he was rather impatient.

"I expect an answer from you. A nod would suffice at the least," he snapped.

I rolled my eyes with indifference as I muttered, "Fine, I got that loud and clear."

He grinned at me as he drove into the gate of the pack house that had been opened wide in anticipation of his arrival.

I was shocked to the marrow and couldn't believe my eyes. Words failed me as my eyes darted around the house. It was magnificent; I wasn't going to deny that.

Everything around reeked of wealth, wealth, and even more wealth.

He noticed the way I gazed around and seemed to be pleased. "Do you like what you see?" He inquired, arching his right brow in arrogance.

A loud hiss trailed from my lips. "Not really. It's a bit nice but not enough to impress me." I wasn't going to give him the satisfaction he wanted.

His face fell and he immediately became gloomy. "Let's go in already and stop wasting time," he grunted.

A deep breath escaped through my lips as I summoned strength from goodness knows where.

I had no explanation for where the strength came from, especially when I was as weak as a dead man a few minutes ago. Some of the Omegas walked up to us and lined up at the entrance of the palace.

"Good evening, sir," they chorused in unison, bowing right before him. He nodded his head in response to their greetings, not uttering a word of cordiality.

A simple response to their greeting would have sufficed, I thought to myself, shaking my head internally.

About five other cars were pretty much in the garage, a little away from where we were.

"Have the keys and make sure to park the car properly," he flung the key to one of the chauffeurs who was standing in wait for him.

The young man muttered some incoherent words and dashed off to do as instructed. I noticed the swift manner in which they all moved. He must be such a disciplinarian, I assumed but soon digressed to some more important thoughts.

The huge front doors stood in front of us at last. The height alone left me in awe, as did the weight it must hold. The power of two would be required to pull both sides open.

Scott turned his head towards me and said, "I need you to remember what I said to you. You are to stick to your place."

A sigh of frustration escaped from my lips. "I understand and I understand well. You've got nothing to worry about."

The door flung open right at that moment. It had been pulled open by two of the maids in there. I stepped my feet into the house and was mesmerized.

Never in my life have I seen so much luxury on display.

The chandelier dangling high above us was the first to catch my fancy.

Wow! I exclaimed but within me, Like I had said, I wasn't going to give him the chance to see my smile, especially after what he had subjected me to.

"Good evening, Alpha," Greetings flew from every angle in the large sitting room that I later found served as the waiting room for whoever wanted to see the Lycan.

Scott stopped in his tracks, startling me. Is he going to remind me about the plan again? I discreetly placed my hand over my head in dismay. I wasn't so intelligent but neither was I dumb and I could see no reason why he had to repeat it over and over.

I'm going to speak severely to him this time around if he brings it up again, I promised myself. Like he could read my mind, he looked at me intently and sneered, after which he fixed his gaze on one of the maids.

The maid understood his gesture without having to hear him speak. She straightened up and sauntered to where we stood.

"Always at your service, Alpha," she said, bowed for a few seconds, and then stood at attention.

"Her luggage is in the car. I need you to get them upstairs as soon as possible."

She nodded her head as she muttered, "Alright, Alpha. It would be done right away," and then dashed off.

The second sitting room was staring right at us and it looked even more exotic than the first and had more expensive stuff in it. My jaw dropped in astonishment and I couldn't but marvel.

"Good evening, brother!" I heard the shrill voice of a lady from behind me, which startled me a bit. I turned and there stood a lady who wouldn't have been more than twenty years of age.

"Good evening," I managed to say but without a smile on my face.

She stared a while at me and then moved them to Scott. I knew that look, as I had used it a lot of times when I wanted to ask a question of my mom and didn't want to ask it so directly.

Scott recoiled towards me and wrapped his arm around me without an iota of emotion or excitement. He didn't need to tell me.

I managed to smile brightly at her. "Hi sister, this is Emma, my mate, and she is my Luna," he announced casually. My heart fell as he spoke. Never in my life did I anticipate my mate would treat me this way. He was so cold and even the arm that was around me felt so distant, even though it was around my neck.

The lady, who I later found out went by the name Anna, walked up to me with a welcoming smile and locked me in a tight embrace. She was rather excited and I could see it written all over her.

"This is good news. Mom must be so excited," she shrieked, unable to keep herself in check. Scott scoffed and then went off.

We headed to what I found out was the main sitting room and damn, it was even more astonishing. "You can have your seat there. Let me get the rest of the family," she mumbled and raced off.

I stole a glance at Scott. He seemed so engrossed in his phone that he had forgotten I even existed. Bile gathered in my throat as I attempted to speak to him but to no avail. I couldn't even get the words out.

His mother, sister, and two brothers arrived at that moment; their gazes fixed on me like I was some object from the museum.

"So this is the one we have been waiting for, right?" The elegant middle-aged woman, dressed impeccably in black floral attire, asked, not waiting for a response as she moved her gaze to Scott at once. “Aren't you going to answer me?"

Scott rose to his feet, flinging his hands in the air. "You are right about that, Mom. She is my Luna."

"Oh my goodness! That's such great news. I would finally get the grandson that I want."

Her eyelashes fluttered at me, her nose in the air, and at once looked away. It was apparent she didn't fancy me. Perhaps, I was not what she expected.

The boys…. I noticed they were laughing and I could immediately tell I was the object of ridicule. Well, I was used to it so it didn't come as a shock to me.

"Stop that at once!" Their sister yelled at them in a loud voice. They went mute at once, lowering their gazes.

"You look so beautiful and it's good to have you here, Emma,” Anna said, giving me a warm smile.

I blushed, my eyes flickering incessantly as if they were being controlled by a switch. A thousand thoughts raced through my mind as they spoke but none of them seemed to matter, especially in this situation.

Anna moved towards Scott, giggling all over. "So what about the rites? When is it going to take place?"

Scott frowned. "What rites are you speaking of?" He sounded rather grouchy than he was initially.

Her brows furrowed. "The Luna's rite. These rites would make her the true Luna and would make people accept her. You know about this so why are you asking?"

Anger welled up in Scott, and I could see how hard he was trying to keep his anger in check.

"Please, let me be, Anna. I'm exhausted and I don't need anyone bugging me about some trivial stupid ceremony at the moment.”

"But I'm not bugging you. I'm only asking about the rites and rituals, which are as important as any other thing," she tried to explain but it seemed to upset him further.

He flew to his feet with bloodshot eyes. "I'm sorry but I won't be carrying out those silly traditional acts that you all seem to cherish so much," he yelled and stormed off.

    I felt irritated at the question asked by my sister. She always took pride in getting on my nerves most of the days. Why did she have to bring it up at that moment? I wondered aloud as I sat in the swiveling chair in my office.I was glad and took a deep breath, glad that I was finally about to breathe. I would get the relief that I wanted. No longer would my mother yell at me to get her a child and no longer would the people ask for a Luna.I can finally sleep in peace. My eyes glinted in the dark and I was about to rise to my feet. I needed to sleep after a long and stressful day. I was about to turn the doorknob when I heard a loud knock from the outside and then the door flung open.My mother stood in front of me with her hands clasped to her sides. I took a deep breath and then returned to my chair."What is it, mom? What brings you here?"A sigh of frustration escaped from my lips.

    The three-decade-old woman flashed a weak smile at me, one that vanished into thin air almost immediately and dashed to the living room, which was only a few seconds walk from the dining room where we were.My heart pounded against my chest as I dragged my feet along the tiled floor of the house. I tried to imagine what she could want to say but I couldn't. She wore a thick grimace that I found difficult to decipher."Have your seat," she muttered, pointing at one of the sofas behind us when we got to the living room. It was a different one entirely and I hadn't seen it when I came in the other time.I took a deep breath and did as she said, my eyes flickering around. I fiddled with my hands as I managed to keep cool despite the heat in me that was threatening to blow me apart."Can you tell me more about yourself?" She inquired, her lips pursed together. I took a deep breath, muttered a word of prayer to the moon goddess and then began."My name is Emma and I am the daughter of Luna

    My emotions got the better of me as I stared into Emma's eyes. I could see nothing but excitement and those balls that were well molded in her skull. I was ready and couldn't wait to see what she looked like beneath that dress she had on her.When a knock rang on the door, a wave of anger washed through me and I didn't realize it when I yelled. I was pissed and couldn't understand why anyone would decide to come in just at that moment when I was about to have some fun with my mate.I thought to ignore the knock but then it intensified until I could barely hear a thing. There was no way I would have a good time with the constant banging on the door. I took a deep breath, trying to contain the anger in me but to no avail."I'll answer the door," I muttered while staring at Emma, who did nothing but fiddle with her hands while staring at me. I walked to the door, murmuring as I went, and then turned the doorknob. Before me stood my mother with her hands akimbo. She had a thick frown lace

    How could someone be as hot and sexy as Scott was? I couldn't believe it was the same Scott who had lain with me only a few minutes ago. He was so hot and ravishing, leaving me euphoric.I shut my eyes and took a deep breath as I stared into his eyes. There were a lot of things I wanted to say but I couldn't bring myself to utter them.My gaze locked in his and for a split second, I saw a different Scott. He had this kind and warm look in his eyes, one that set me on fire."Do I have anything in my eyes?" He queried out of the blues with a thick frown laced to his brows.The look that I had seen a few seconds ago had vanished into thin air and in place of it was a strong, uninviting look that sent chills down my spine."It's nothing. I was only staring at you. Can't I do that?" I asked in a low, whispering voice, fiddling with my fingers.Somehow, he seemed to notice my discomfort and uneasiness. "You are so sweet and nice," he said.I was stunned. Was I dreaming? Or perhaps I was hal

    The clock by the bedside table rang out of the blues, sending chills down my spine. I flew awake, panting with bated breath. My eyes darted around in search of the culprit. There was nothing in sight.I was stunned and couldn't believe my eyes. My hand rested on my chest as I tried to calm my throbbing nerves. My heart was still thumping heavily against my chest and it felt like it was going to explode the next minute.It clicked just at that moment as my gaze rested on the clock on the other side of the bed where Scott lay.My eyes bulged and I couldn't control the spark that was sizzling through me. A strong feeling of disbelief sank deep in me.How did I get onto the bed? I had Renmen lying on the sofa opposite me. It made no sense and how could I wrap my hands around it?Every bit of me wanted to return to the sofa before Scott woke up. The last thing I want is a lecture from him.He would go on to remind me of how we were only together for the child in me and all. I wasn't ready

    I couldn't make sense of what was going on before me. Why was Anna acting that way with the knife in her hand? My heart was thumping against my chest and it felt like it was going to explode anytime soon."Stop it at once, Anna! Whatever games you are playing, I don't like them, and I want you to put an outright end to them," I said in a low whispering voice as I recoiled. She didn't seem to heed me as she continued to be near me.I retreated further and further until there was nowhere else to run to.My mind began to race. I thought of what to do but nothing came to mind. I couldn't wrap my hands around it, despite how hard I tried.My eyes sauntered around and I soon found an object to defend myself with. I yanked it at once, clutching it with all my mind.I held it above my head and was going to bring it down on her when she suddenly burst into laughter. Confusion got the better of me as I fixed a long, questioning look at me.She continued to laugh, making me wonder if she was in

    I was panting with bated breath by the time I got out of the bathroom. I was exhausted and couldn't understand why Scott managed such strength. The way he held me and continued to thrust at me left me euphoric.The way he went in and out gave me goosebumps as well. A bright smile formed on my face as I got dressed and was about to leave the room.I stole a glance at Scott and could see he had his head buried in his work again. I took a deep breath, muttered some words to him and then darted out of the room.Anna was waiting for me in the living room already. Her lips pouted awkwardly. Her hands were also clasped together. I didn't need her to tell me why she was standing that way."I'm sorry I took time getting here; I was trying to finish up something." I said this as I fiddled with my hands."Oh, you don't need to explain. I totally understand," she winked at me, causing me to blush and then we went out of the house to where the driver was waiting for us.For the second time since I

    I was dumbfounded and couldn't hide the shock that was on my face. I raised my head to Anna, who was as shocked as I was.What's going on here? I don't seem to understand.Anna placed her hand on her chest, gesturing to me to calm down. I took a deep breath, even though it was impossible for me to calm myself."What's going on here and what makes you think you can speak in such an unruly manner?" She asked in a loud voice but the noise from the people drowned out hers.Realizing it wasn't going to work that way, she rose to her feet with grace and elegance and walked to the podium, where the organizer stood. She had a fierce grimace and looked quite unfriendly. I saw her mutter some inchorent words to the organizer, who immediately handed the microphone to her.She cleared her throat dramatically, took a deep breath and began to speak."What's going on here and what makes you think you can speak to the Luna of this great pack in such an unfriendly manner?""What Luna?

    The wedding day.I have imagined several ways that my wedding was going to take place. Fairytales that was what I called them. The pink lilies lined up the walks, I even imagined my dog walking down the aisle with me bearing the rings with the revered flower crown adorning his or her furry head. It was going to be a white wedding where everyone wore white same as the decorations.But never in Gods green earth did I imagine that I was going to have a double wedding with the man of my heart and sister from another mother. But more importantly, that Theresa was going to walk beside my mother as they accompany my son and I down the aisle to handle me over to Scott as his wife and Luna.It was my dream come true with a touch of radical goodness. I could never stop my face from gleaming with joy merely looking at Scott standing there in his white tuxedo his face a mask of angelic warmth. And on the other side was Liam and his newly-wedded bride, Aan, their hands entangled as they welcomed

    We raced down the hall, our lies having been perfectly constructed. We had all agreed to tell Theresa that I woke up with a terrible headache and was only coming down for the training out of respect for her. It was a lot getting Liam to flow with the lies but he had agreed anyway. However as we neared the stairs, a loud scream tore through the house from down the stairs. "What's that?" Anna asked, increasing her step that soon turned to a run. We joined in, taking the stairs two at a time. The loud voices was coming from the direction of the Omegas quarters, the men's quarters precisely. We arrived in time to encounter Theresa deliver a well-aimed slap on Ashley's face who bent over bawling her eyes out."Mom!" Anna went to block her as she lifted her hand to give her another slap. "What is going on here?"Theresa covered her face with her right hand, her left in her waist. Her very schooled elegance was gone to be replaced by an infuriated expression. She wagged her forefinger at A

  • The Alpha’s Accidental surrogate Mate   Another failed attempt

    Wandering aimlessly helped me to learn a lot in one night, particularly the vastness of the mansion. I strode to the back of the house where the training ground was located, bending a few corners before I saw it stretched endlessly over the grassy field, with different objects constructed at diverse positions for training. I was stupefied for once, all the anger in me dissipating to be replaced by awe. I went to the Wolf leaper standing at the crossbar and touched it, taking note of the rough exterior. My eyes caught the flicker of the power tester that is used to train young pups to discover their inner strength. It sent jolts of longing wafting through me, wishing I had this chance growing up. Maybe it's not too late. I just need to learn now. For myself, not for anyone or anything. This is just me now against the world, whether I like it or not. It has always been. No one cares about me and if I am waiting for someone to, I might end up dying faster than I had anticipated. The wo

    He cocked his brow to the top of his head, picked up the glass containing a brown substance on the table I hadn't noticed till now, and took a long swig as if I hadn't just dropped a bombshell on him. Is that how he is going to react? No fret, no fury? Nothing? My heart broke. So he truly wanted it? He brought me from my pack to this place for nothing. Just to mock our bond and destroy something so sanctified that the goddess has ordered. The tears that has been threatening were trying to force their way out, but I quickly looked down and willed it back. I am not going to cry for any man anymore. I had already thought about this and know it's for the best. I would rather be without a mate than with one who didn't want me for me but because I might have managed to win a competition to become his trophy Luna.Squaring my shoulders I looked up, expecting him to reject me immediately so I can go on to ask him for a favor concerning my housing, but he wasn't upcoming with it. He was stil

  • The Alpha’s Accidental surrogate Mate   Reject me

    It was raining heavily when we came back from the training camp. Just as I envisaged, Nathan dropped me off in front of the house and told me he was going back to the border to see how things were going there.I wanted to beg him not to leave but knowing he has a duty to uphold which would be unfair of me to stop him, I simply nodded and accepted my ugly fate before sneaking my way into the house. I rushed upstairs two at a time, aiming to reach my room on time and hide away, hoping the Alpha doesn't figure out that I have returned from my outing. I succeeded, went to take my bath, and changed into the evening gown that I found hanging on the vanity chair_ meaning Anna had come to my room to check on me. I felt bad I haven’t spent much time with her recently and wished I could. But I needed this training so badly. I needed to become better. I needed to focus on something else that didn’t have to do with Scott or his mother’s stupid idea of competing for the Luna position. I was ab

    "A proper Luna is always mindful of the time, especially one that wishes to have the keep up and running effectively with avoidable hitchbacks..." The statement from Theresa was cut to the chase and aimed at me. I flinched back, still dawdling by the door. What in moon's name possessed me to wake up this late? It was one thing that I wasn't favored much in this crowd, then I have to pull off this stunt of bringing the attention to myself. Now Theresa would think I was being deviant and irresponsible while Ashley is the serious one. "Get seated, Emma. I won't tolerate this foolhardy behavior next time. Be warned," she warned and I walked to the nearest couch to plop down."Luna, I thought she would be punished? Why should she be here__""Keep quiet, Ashley..." I caught the cold regard she gave Ashley who blanched in her couch and quickly recovered, and when theresa looked away, gave me a condescending bird's eye.l only returned her gaze, with a soft one, within me having a good lau

    I stayed with my son for a while plying with him while the party went on downstairs. Part of me bought Scott was going to come after me due to the manner I left the party. That was part of me, but the other part knew he wouldn’t. After all I asked him to give me time. It was disappointing he wasn’t fighting for me. Taylor soon fell asleep and I kissed his forehead and decided to go to my room and pick my planning book. I still had a lot to do. When I was walking down the hall, something got my attention. A man.Like a drop-dead gorgeous man got my attention. He stepped into the hall, the automatic doors sliding close as he came in, his eyes washing over me in a sinful way. A very sinful way.I stood there one of my feet on the stairwell, the other one down as I stared at the man as he drew close, my eyes taking in every one of his adorable features His shoulders were broad, more like herculean massive_ fitted into a three-piece dark suit, his face stretched in what I would term a

    “I thought you said you forgave me?” Those were his words the last time we met after the fight. “Yes, but I need time,” I had replied. “You don’t expect me to just believe you when you said the child she carries is not yours. I need time, Scott.” I didn’t look him in the eyes because I didn’t want to fall for his charm. “How much time,” he’s asked.“As much time as possible.” “I will be away the .” I looked up at him. He shrugged. “I can’t bear living under the same roof with you and not being able to come close to you, Emma. I can’t.”I nodded and looked away. “And our son?”“He would be fine. He is an Alpha.” the words nudged at my heart. Tears pulled in my eyes which I forced myself to keep in. I had to do this for me. “Thank you.”“For what?” He queried.“For allowing your sister and Liam to be together.”“I did it for you.”“I know,” I nearly went to him then. “Which is why I am grateful .

My eyes dilated in chagrin, one of my hands flew to my mouth before rapidly flapping down on my lap, my eyes scooting between her and Ashley who had a repellent look on her face at me.Somehow since the horrendous announcement, the packhouse has become her second home.
