LAVENDER’S POVI turned to the side, a groan escaping my lips as I felt the morning sun on my body. I felt really exhausted and so unwilling to get out of bed for another hour or two, but I knew I could not stay in bed for long. I would not want Caramel’s people to think I was lazy.Speaking of Caramel, I fluttered my eyes open and made sure not to keep them too open, as I didn’t want to go blind by the sun. It was then I remembered the activities of the previous day. I knew I was old to be a virgin, but none of the guys around me ever gave me that comfort enough to let me give them that.However, I was a bit upset. I turned, laying on my back as I stared at the ceiling, my mind replaying all Caramel did to me. I had only met Caramel a few days ago, and here I was already going crazy for him. Caramel was different from all of them. He was a man that knew what he wanted and acted on it. My cheeks blushed red.I never thought I would love being handled in such a way until I met Caramel.
LAVENDER’S POVThe Future Luna? I froze. I stared at her, unable to hide the shock on my face. Wasn’t Luna meant to be his wife? I was his wife, so how was she the future Luna? I wanted to ask, but the words failed to come out. I did not want to believe that it was true. Caramel would not do this to me, would he? I thought he loved me.Rose noticed my shocked expression and was seething with joy from it. She turned to the maid that had wanted to serve my meal. “Come serve me,” she instructed.I got out of my daze, but I still could not speak for a couple of minutes. Rose loved seeing me that way. Once the maid was done serving her, she returned to my side. “Should I serve you, Your-”I raised my hand, stopping the maid from speaking further. “I’ll pass on breakfast,” I told her, then rose to my feet.I turned around to leave, when Rose scoffed. &ldqu
LAVENDER’S POVRose’s heels clapped on the marble floor as she rushed towards Caramel with her hands spread for a hug. The moment she got close to Caramel, she wrapped her hand around his neck and pulled him close. This action made me fold my hand into a fist. My stomach was hurting at this point, so I could not leave. I gestured for a maid to serve me, and she quickly did that while Rose spoke to Caramel.“Oh, I’ve missed you, Caramel,” she said.She calls him by his real name, too. There is no way her words were not true. “You didn’t tell me you were coming,” Caramel said.Rose giggled and replied, “Oh, I just wanted to surprise you. Mum said it would be perfect,” she stated as they took a seat.“How is she?” Caramel asked.“Oh, she is fine. She was glad I was back in the pack,” Rose kept smiling like a fool
ALPHA CARAMEL’S POVI tried to remain calm and not show Lavender that I was upset with what she had told me. Yes, Rose and I were meant to get married, but I strictly told my mother that I would not marry her. She was my best friend, but after my mother fed her some lies about me getting married to her, she became unbearable.I could not stand her constant touches and advances towards me. What made it ten times worse was when she decided to tell everyone she came across that she was the future Luna of the pack, even though she was not my wife yet. I loved her, but only as a friend and nothing intimate. I stated this clearly when I had enough.She even left the pack for another country after that incident, claiming she needed some space to think. I thought that would be the end and I would not need to explain anything to her again, but I was mistaken. She dared to tell Lavender that she was the future Luna, and just whe
LAVENDER’S POVI sat in front of the mirror as the maids helped with my hair and makeup. My heart thudded in my chest as I contemplated the impression I would make on Caramel’s mother. Would she say I was not enough for her son because I was human?I have only been here a few days, and I really wanted to be accepted as one of their own. No matter how much I tried to think that she might accept me without judging me, I was still filled with fear. Caramel had told me there was nothing to worry about, but he said that because it was his mother.I was not her child. I was his son’s wife, and I needed to be perfect in her eyes for him. From stories that I’ve been told about mothers-in-law, it will be hard to make her like me.“What is she like?” I asked the maids.“Alpha Caramel’s mother?” Mitchel asked, and I nodded, staring at her through the mirror.“She is a fine woman,” she replied.“And calm too,” another said.“Is she hard to please?” I inquired.“She has her distinct taste. She does
LAVENDER’S POVIt was a new feeling for me, and I never expected to have such emotions towards him, but I was mistaken. Everything about him had a way of fascinating me and making me feel better. I didn’t even mind that he was a werewolf. He didn’t match the dangerous image portrayed by the myths.Caramel was not dangerous. I smiled as he held my hand tighter. We slowly descended the stairs with Caramel’s hand clinging to mine. He looked gentle as he helped me down the stairs. We headed slowly towards the living area, and from the door, I spotted her sitting graciously on the couch with her eyes on the television.Once we got closer, she turned to us with a bright smile on her face. “Caramel,” she called with an angelic voice as she stood up.Caramel let go of my hand and hugged her. She hummed with joy before placing a little kiss on his cheeks, then let go of him. From the look of it, I could tell that they were close. There was a look of admiration in her eyes as she looked at him.
ALPHA CARAMEL’S POV I knew Mum was just being herself when she acted that way towards Lavender. It was her usual tactic. “I have never understood why she always did that or why she felt the need to do it, but the pattern was that she did it whenever she was meeting someone new, regardless of the person’s position or status in society.” My wild guess is to know how they react, but I never found it interesting to ask. Despite my attempts to concentrate on my work in the study room, I was aware of Lavender’s reluctance to have me leave earlier. However, I knew Mum would not push her too much. No matter how strict my mother was on the outside, she was soft and maybe a little over the top sometimes, but she knew how to control it. I flipped through the pages of the document I held. It was for the people who wanted to come into the pack. Each of them had something they wanted to do, but I wasn’t comfortable letting anyone come into the pack just like that. I was trying to not make the mi
ALPHA CARAMEL’S POVI stared at Mum’s back as she left my study. I hated when she acted like this. She was a seer during the time of my father, but it was passed down to someone else after she retired. However, I knew she still had her senses, which were quite sharp. It was good mostly when I needed it, but then there was a problem. The problem was that she never explained what she meant.I do not know if that was how it worked, but I hated it. It makes one question things that he or she is not meant to question. Everyone asks for clarity, but she never gives them that until the last minute, which can be frustrating most of the time.I loved her, but I hated the secretive or unclear nature of her words sometimes. She certainly did not mean that there was something wrong with Lavender literally, right? I questioned myself. I shook my head at that. This was not the time for this.I would not question tha
Lavender's POV Grey scared me for a moment there. He only wanted to inform me that his coronation ceremony was going to be happening in 3 days. Since he was the sole heir of Alpha Toot, he was obliged to take over, as a pack required an alpha at all times. Without a leader, the pack would become vulnerable to other Alphas seeking to assert their power. According to him, it was the fastest way to get me to listen to what he was saying. I had to help him go shopping for the things he would meet during and after the coronation. There were a few things he already had an idea of, but others Alpha Caramel helped him with it. Alpha Caramel was a great help and in no time, I was watching the councils of Midnight Pack crown my brother as the new Alpha of Midnight Pack. “This is the new Alpha of the Midnight pack,” the council announced, and a guard rushed in and whispered something into Grey's ears. His mood dropped, but then it became that of nonchalance before he nodded at the guard, w
Lavender's POVThis was exactly the way I wanted it to be. Surrounded by people I love while I walk towards the love of my life. Everyone had smiling faces, and they were all in support of the gathering, and the Union about to happen. I was dressed in a dress that I wanted to put on, and not because I was forced to put it on. My makeup and the style of my hair were duly discussed with me, and I loved every bit of it. My mother, my father, Delilah, Grey, and the people, were all in support of my union with Alpha Caramel. They all had smiles on their faces. Mum looked like she was about to cry. My family was with me, and I was filled with so much joy, and satisfaction to be here walking down the aisle to meet him. The one person that has shown me what love is about. Alpha Caramel has showered me with so much love that I could barely explain it to anyone. I did not mind falling in love with him over, and over again throughout my lifetime. He stood at the altar, putting on a sky-blue tux
Alpha Caramel's POV I was surprised to hear this. I knew the answers I was giving Lavender concerning if the people had accepted her, and would accept her as the Luna of the pack. The issue was I did not care if they accepted her or not at this point because their reasons for rejecting her were not valid according to what I think. They loved her before they realized that Alpha Toot had made some stupid pronouncement that made it seem like she was not eligible to be the Luna of the pack. Since the last time I spoke with the council, I never again had any meeting with them. They were important aspects of the pack but due to their nonchalance, and demeaning words, I could not trust them to help me get Lavender back as I felt they would try to frustrate every effort I put into the plans to get her. I was sure they were more than aware of this. I was not planning on trying to convince them or giving them reasons why Lavender was the best candidate for the position. Just the fact that I
Lavender's POVI walked into the ward staring at Alpha Caramel who had his eyes closed. It has been two days since the war. He woke up a day after and was left to stay in the hospital so he could be monitored. The wolf's bane has not been completely expelled from his system and would take some time before that happens. I was glad that at least he was better. I took out the flask which I brought with me to the hospital so he would eat. “Caramel,” I called him softly. He opened his eyes and turned to me with a smile. “My love,” he said which made my cheeks turn red. He took my hand and then placed a kiss on the back of my palm. “You look beautiful today,” he complimented. Ever since you woke up, he had been complimenting me. He always complimented me but this was a little too much because, at every slight opportunity, he does it.“You look handsome as usual.” Now I helped him sit up. “You need to eat. Mum said you need to eat so that you'll be able to take your drugs.” I told him.
Lavender's POV“Caramel!” I yelled at the top of my lungs as the arrow entered his body. The effect of the wolf's bane acted immediately. He groaned, and transformed back to his human form, holding the side of his stomach where the arrow was. He tried standing up, but he fell back almost immediately. The Alpha rogue was walking towards him with a sly smile. I could already tell that you wanted to kill Caramel. I ran as fast as I could but I was too far from where he was. The person that was close to him was the Alpha rogue. He was walking in measured steps but I knew he would get to him before I could. This realization made me cry. They wanted to kill him. They wanted to kill my husband. I didn't want that to happen. I could not allow that to happen. I want to save him. I need to save him. “Please moon goddess, don't let them take him from me. Please.” I said as I shut my eyes, trying to wipe off the tears. The Alpha rogue got close to Alpha Caramel. “No,” I yelled, and the next sec
Lavender's POVThe Alpha Rogue held my wrist very tight as he pulled me out of the hall. I had no idea where he was taking me, and I did not want to go anywhere he was taking me to. I wanted to go to Alpha Caramel. It had been so long, and finally he was here. I had waited for him for a very long time, and he was here now. I wanted to go to him because I knew that he was here for me. He waged this war because he wanted to get me back. I was scared, and I needed to be with Caramel but the alpha rogue did not listen to me, and kept pulling me. No matter how many times I told him that it was hurting me he refused to listen to me. He kept on with what he was doing, and soon we were out of the hall. A part of me wanted to scream but then the thought that I might alert Alpha Toot came to mind, and I decided to keep quiet. I kept asking where he was taking me to but he refused to give me any reply. Not long, and we were on the battlefield. I kept looking around trying to find Caramel so h
Alpha Caramel's POV My heart instantly fell to the ground at this. Lavender's eyes were wide open as she watched the arrow come for her chest. I quickly ran forward to be able to stop it even though at the back of my mind I knew I would not be able to get to her in time before the arrow went into her body. Just before the arrow could get into her body, someone rushed forward and slapped it to the ground in time. I heaved a sigh of relief at this. I had no idea who this person was, and I had never seen him in my pack so I did not believe he was part of us. I was more than grateful to him either way for saving my wife from the arrow which I had thrown. “Grey,” I heard Lavender mutter which made me know the person's name. It seemed that they knew each other. Staring at the boy a bit longer, I realized that he had some resemblance with Alpha Toot. I always knew that Alpha Toot had a child, but I had never met him before. I was not too sure about his motive since he was his father's chil
Alpha Caramel's POV The day for the attack finally came, and everyone was more than prepared for it. We were not too sure what to expect, but we kept our minds open to anything that might happen. The spies that were sent had not reported back to us, and it was a little worrying. We were going in blind because we had a proper picture of what we were entering into. I spoke to everyone, giving them the strength to go with me and win this war. We were going to save my wife and crown her the Luna of the pack because that was what she deserved. My mother was very worried for me. She did not state it outrightly but from her body expression, and how much she kept telling me to take care of myself, and ensure that I am fully protected, told me all I needed to know. I assured her that I was going to come back. She nodded at my words but was not fully convinced. She knew that when it came to war no one could tell if they would win or not. However, she was once a seer of the pack. Once I was a
Lavender's POV It was finally the day for my supposed mating ceremony. I was meant to have escaped the previous day but here I was seated before the dressing table I had gotten used to, being dolled up as usual. I was dressed up in a much heavier dress, and heavy makeup with jewelry that I hated. The Restrictor was not placed on my arm but I knew I could not run away. My mother was back in her room with a gun to her head. If I tried anything fishy, then she was going to be shot instantly. I did not want that for her, and I was going to behave so long as they were not going to kill her. I really wished that we would have successfully escaped from here but the universe was not on my side. Everything I did to escape from this place seems to have been void in One Way or another. I knew this was not my fate, and I did not want to accept it. However, what could I do? I could no longer fight it. I can't run away. My mother's life was on the line, and if I did anything stupid, I could get h
