As he spit out my sister's name, it was almost as if a heavy poison was being swirled around me. I never hated my sister but I never wanted to be compared to her or even me like her. Tyga was an idiot. I wasn’t informed that Alphas could be stupid at their best. There was so much disgust and hatred within me. I never believed I would become like this. Or even thought about Anne’s behaviour back then. She was just that sister who was concerned at the same time hugging everything including my parents' affection. "So you're telling me that this Aine' was your soulmate and yet you despise her sister?" I replied."Yes she is,” he said. "But what her sister did was awful. I have been told that she pushed Aine to the corner."My hands trembled at his words. I wanted to scream in his face that his concern was nothing to me anymore. The Oishin I knew was a bastard and power seeking stupid. A slither of anger lingered in my heart as he looked broken and defeated. It was a look that I knew too
I looked to my right where Oishin was wiping his eyes. His sobs finally subdued. He said nothing or did anything but try to catch his breath. All I could do was pity him at that moment, but I knew he wouldn't appreciate that.I sighed. "I'm sorry. I don't really know how to do the whole comfort thing," I gestured with my hands. "No one taught me how to comfort someone. I was alone in my suffering. No one offered me a helping hand or a moment of relief." I muttered with pursed lips. "A bit like your Aine.""What do you mean?" he said as he rubbed his nose."Well, I was a lonely person growing up. I was the black sheep of the family. You could say everyone hated me. They probably still do," I said wistfully."No one can hate their family. No matter what,” he said with determination.I laughed, honestly at the audacity of this man. He saw firsthand what it was like to watch in silence as his and my family mistreated me."Trust me. You really do not know what you are talking about." The
Aine's Point of View “It’s your time, Aine,” Dad said when I was about to eat. It was odd seeing him eating with us despite how he hated me and blamed me for my sister’s death. “Time for what, Dad?” I said, and started to swallow hard. Something is not right here. “It’s time for you to be engaged to a male wolf.” That was all it took for me to lose it. I couldn't believe this. How could it be my time? I'm not even giving up yet and they are trying to force me to be with someone. What's the rush? "Why?!" I panicked. "You’re still mateless despite passing the right age. The Alpha thinks you should have a mate already. He offered us to find you one. You must thank him. At least you’re not a failure. If Anne was still alive, she would have pulled us out of poverty, " Dad said, bored. “Make us proud for once.” “Daniel…!” Mom said. I know he hates me so much even if he’s not showing it. But Anne was dead and it’s not my fault! But manipulating my life? No. "That's not fair! I h
“Aine? What the hell? Do you know what time it is?” A sleepy voice answered my call for the fifth time.“Thank goodness, Lind, you answered my call,” I said, relieved.“What is it? You make it important because you disturb my sleep, girl,” Lindsay said. “Help me. Help me escape. My father and the Alpha arranged a mate for me. I don’t want him. Please help me.” I begged. “Oh…” she said, seeming not interested or trying to process what I said. “OHHH! Damn! That’s a messed up plan, Aine. Let me help you! Tell me what you want me to do,” she added when she finally got what I was trying to say. “Can I stay in your pack temporarily? I mean I’ll leave once I figure out what I am going to do with my life.”“Okay. Just tell me where I am going to pick you up. I already told you to leave your family and your stupid dad before, right? Now look what he did to you,” Lindsay said, scolding me. After I gave her the right address, she was still rumbling words I didn’t want to hear. She hated my
Oishin's Point of ViewAine was a wonderful mate. She helped me alot running the pack. She was one of the kind Luna that ordinary Alpha would have wanted. But not me. I’m no ordinary Alpha. I am to be the Alpha King who will rule the werewolf kingdom and every pack. Aine’s too ordinary. I can't have her as my Luna. I needed someone equal to me. I calmly glance at Cian in the passenger seat across from me.I had made sure not to turn on the radio, so there wouldn't be any distraction from the weight of my alpha waves bearing down on him.From the way his shoulders folded, I knew he was feeling the pressure of it. Cian knew everything and he’s a friend of Aine. He'd been talking to Aine. And I’m afraid he’ll tell her about her. "What did you say was wrong with your car again?" I directed him."The car's transmission is out," he answered dryly. "Had it for ages so it was about time it gave out. It couldn't have picked a better timing though." he ended sarcastically."Hmmm."He glanc
Aine's Point of ViewThe thing about fated mates is that it's like two sides of a coin. It has the ability to make you the happiest person alive, making you whole. But it also has the ability to ruin you, taking you under like an avalanche when you least expect it, snuffing out all of the light, crushing all the air out of your lungs and leaving you numb in complete darkness. For me, Oishin was my everything, he was the oxygen I breathed. I had devoted my entire life to being his person. Ever since that fateful day he'd tilted my world off its axis, when I'd felt my heart beating wildly and my wolf had gotten in a frenzy yelling mate. Because that's what mates were, and he was my soul mate. They were your person. It's someone who finally understands you, truly understands you and you find a small amount of relief in that. They understand all the parts when no one else does or couldn't. It's like you can finally breathe. They were your best friend, your other half. You don't have to
Her name was Caitlin. I was suddenly piecing it together however I still didn't understand. She was Alpha Caitlin from the neighbouring pack but I still couldn't make sense of what introduction they were talking about. Who was her mate? "Of course, you already know this is Oishin's fat help." "I'm Oishin’s mate, not the help." I corrected it. The man laughed dryly and looked at his sister in an I told you so way. Caitlin merely shrugged and smiled back at him. I could feel my cheeks heat up. "If you're his mate, then you haven't been doing a good job. He's been between my sisters' legs every chance he gets. He's practically fucked her everywhere on our pack grounds." At first I thought I didn't hear right. I could feel my insides clench and my breathing got heavy. This is when I started to fall apart, when my very world started to dissolve before my eyes. "That's a lie." He smiled menacingly and a shiver ran down my spine. "You're no longer his mate or Luna, Caitlin is, and th
(A few months before her Luna Proclamation. Note: Aine was clueless) Aine’s Point of View The sound of the rain thundering outside woke me up with a start. I shifted further against him and into the intense warmth his body provided until there wasn't any space left. We were pasted together with his hard profile against my back. His arm was slung around my waist, tethering me to him. This was everything. This was us. I reluctantly glanced at the window, where the bleary morning filtered through. It was way too early. No wonder it was freezing. The wind was whipping the rain against the windowpanes and I could see the tree branches swinging back and forth. I would have to do everything indoors today. It pricked up my hopes that he might stay here today. That we might have some time to ourselves. For the past couple of weeks, Oishin has been overseeing joining our pack, the Greyhound pack, with the Lunar pack. That said pack, like ours, was a traditional pack that had been around
