I slowly turned around to meet Dimitri's eyes, peering into mine. His gaze was intimidating, and I was suddenly feeling like leaving his sight. "What's the matter? You've been acting weird." He said, moving closer to me. Looking away from him, I wiped the corners of my eyes and looked back at him almost immediately. "I'm fine, I was about to choke. That was why I had to leave." I lied, still keeping up with his gaze. He got to me, and placed his hands on my shoulders. "Okay." That was all he said before he pulled me closer, wrapping his hands around me. I could tell that he didn't believe me, but I was grateful for the fact that he didn't even ask me about it. ******************** I woke up really early that morning, surprisingly feeling so enthusiastic. It was time for the ceremony, and I couldn't just wait for it to begin. Scrambling off the bed, I quickly had my bath and wore a very simple dress to help the maid, knowing that I was going to change back into a more
I slowly pushed the door open and walked in. There was nobody there, it wasn't like I was expecting anyone anyway. "What did Isabel ask me to bring?" I asked myself, as I walked further into the room, running my fingers through the table there. My mouth formed an "oh," when I saw a basket that had some foodstuff there. I guessed it was the one and walked towards it. After I grabbed it, I proceeded to the door, but I was stopped in my tracks, when I heard a shuffling sound coming from my back. I was frozen to the spot, my eyes darting in front of me. "Guess who, Alison?" A voice said behind me, accompanying it with claps. I didn't need to be told who it was, I already knew who it was. I slowly turned around to meet Tamara's piercing eyes. She had her hands crossed on her chest, with a small, evil smirk on her face. "What are you doing here?" I asked, my grip on the basket getting harder. She widened her eyes and feigned a look of shock, before curving her lips into a moc
I bit my lip, and shifted my lips into a thin, straight line. My heart was racing, clenching against my chest. It was so weird that I was scared of Tamara and lily. It was too weird for me. I cleared my throat and slowly turned around to meet Tamara and Lily glaring at me like they wanted to kill me on the spot. I could swear with my life that they wanted to. If only they got the chance... I breathed in and tried mustering some courage. I crossed my hands on my chest and started walking towards them, with a bold look on my face, even though I was melting inside. "What? You're in my house, don't forget that." I said, corking a brow at them. They exchanged a look with each other before laughing out loud again. "Aw, that's so sweet. You think this is your house because you're Alpha Dimitri's mate? That's even sadder than you
I didn't know why seeing him take his drink like that, made me feel weird as if he wasn't meant to take it. "Alpha Dimitri?" I called him, and he dropped the cup on the tray before turning to face me. "How was the drink?" I asked, my eyes settling on the maid, who was still standing there, staring at Dimitri. I eyed her suspiciously, "you can leave now." When I said that to her, she slowly nodded before walking away. I didn't know why she was acting weird, so many things were so wrong with the way they were all going. "I don't know why I feel like something is wrong. Don't you feel like there's something happening? Something we are not aware of? I don't know, alpha." My face slowly squeezed into a frown, as my eyes darted around everywhere. Alpha Dimitri moved closer, before settling his hands on my shoulders. He exhaled before parting his lips to speak. "I think you need to rest or just interact with other people. I mean, I feel like it's because you're by yoursel
"What is happening here?!" I opened the door wide enough and staggered inside, with my eyes still widened. I could feel tears welling up in my eyes as I continued walking further into the room with my eyes fixed on one person; Dimitri. Tamara got off him and wrapped the bedsheet around her body. The tears that I was trying to keep in streamed down my face, and I made no attempt to stop them. "What's happening here, Tamara? I don't understand! What are you doing here with Alpha Dimitri looking like that?" My eyes roamed around his body, trying to see if he was naked or not. I couldn't see it properly as the bedsheet covering his body was pretty thick. "There's nothing new under the sun!" He said, before scoffing at me. What? I couldn't believe that she was really saying that. I dashed to her and dragged her out of the bed. When I did that, I noticed that lily was no longer in the room, and I wondered why. But, I saw why she left a minute later; she went to call ever
Lily stared at me for what seemed like the millionth time in just twenty minutes. She corked her head to a side, before parting her lips to speak. "I am just here to give you the latest news." She crossed her hands on her chest, and the scornful look was back on her face like it never left. I didn't say anything, I just kept on staring at her, wishing she could just leave my room immediately. She started walking towards me. When she got to me, she walked past me and stood behind me, poking her head over my shoulder. "After you barged into your room because you were angry, everyone decided that it was best for Tamara to stay here until further decisions are made." When she said that, it felt like a stab in my heart. I turned around to face her, squeezing my face into a frown. "Wait, I don't understand. Tamara is still here?" Without waiting for any answer, I dashed out of my room and started walking down the hallway, when lily stopped me...again. "Everyone's at the
After I said that, I started walking to the door, but I stopped when I felt a teardrop down my face. I sniffed and wiped it off. "Alison, wait!" He calmed after me, but I didn't listen. I gripped the door knob and went outside, shutting the door almost immediately. I rested my body against the door and shut my eyes, allowing the tears to stream down my face freely. After I woke up, I thought that I had gotten over it and I didn't care because I wasn't ready to love Alpha Dimitri, but I was wrong. Seeing him with Tamra really made me feel some type of way. The only time I felt that was when I found out that my best friend was with Logan. The pains were so similar, but the one Dimitri caused me was definitely greater. When I heard him groan from inside the room, I pushed my body away from the door and wiped my tears off, before walking down the staircase to go get the pack doctor. By the time I was about to get to the throne hall, I had already stopped crying. I didn't
A second mate? What did the elder mean? Without thinking too much about it, I stepped forward with a frown on my face. "What do you mean by a second mate? I'm his mate right here, we've mated." It was as if I was busy saying the obvious. The elders all turned to face me at the same time, making me feel a bit intimidated. "He also mated with her with everything we saw. So, that's it!" They were about to start leaving, when Dimitri stopped them. "No! I can't take her as my second mate, I don't even want her." I could see him throwing scornful looks at Tamara, and she returned all with a smile, a fake smile. "You have to, alpha Dimitri! Everyone already knows what you did with her! That's the price that has to be paid!" The second elder said, agreeing with what the first one said. The fact that Tamara was going to move with us broke my heart a little, and I just hoped that they were just lying, and it wasn't true. She had told me that she was going to get into the hous
