The air in the room was thick with tension. Luna Claire glared at me. Her features tightened in a frown and her eyes gleamed with disgust as they swept over me. I lowered my eyes to the ground, shifting uncomfortably.
From the corner of my eyes I could see Lisa narrowing her eyes at me in annoyance alongside her friend, Bella, who was right beside her shooting me an icy glare.
My eyes fell on Rowan, he was slouched on the couch next to his mother like he had not a care in the world.
The news that I tried to seduce Rowan had reached the ears of the Luna. I knew that Bella or Lisa would report the matter to her but I really did not prepare to face her wrath.
Luna Claire sent for Rowan immediately. She, of course, wanted to hear from the horse's mouth.
Her face widened in shock as Rowan answered in the affirmative at the subject of me being his fated mate.
Luna Claire laid back on the couch and propped herself on one elbow. Her eyes narrowed at me for a brief moment and then closed tightly as she pondered on the situation. She knew I was faultless in this case. If I had a choice, I would rather not be fated to any member of this pack at all.
I’ve had my own share of the mistreatments of unranked members by the ranked members of the pack.
I wasn't born an omega. Some years back, I was the beta's cherished daughter, safe and protected.
Life was good, until that dreaded day when our pack was attacked and father was killed. I was devastated, I remember running about wildly, looking for mom, but she was nowhere to be found. Eventually, she was declared missing.
Since my parents were gone, I was catered for by the alpha who thought it necessary to repay my father's sacrifice for the pack. That was until the Alpha also died in another brutal attack a few months ago.
Then I had gone very fast from being an average wolf under the alpha's care to an omega with no family at all.
I wasn't expected to scrub and clean after the ranked members just like the other omegas but I've had to endure beatings and spiteful words often hurled at me. Unfortunately for me, I am being treated worse than some omegas as Luna Claire's dislike for me was glaring. Whatever the feud was between us, I was yet to understand.
She didn't hide the fact that she hated me for some unknown reason nor did she leave any stone unturned when it came to meting out punishments to me.
Luna Claire slowly straightened herself back up, and heaved a deep sigh. She had probably figured how best to go about the situation or even the worst punishment fit for me.
I busied my mind, counting each passing second until Luna Claire began to speak.
“Olivia,” she called, drawing my attention back to herself. My heart raced in panic. I dreaded what she was about to say even before she spoke. Whatever it was, I was sure it was no good.
She hesitated for a brief moment before spilling her decision.
“You will be kept aside as his mistress.” She dropped the bombshell.
“What!” Lisa was shocked. Her eyes had grown wide as saucers. Lisa was not only the present beta’s older daughter, but she was Rowan's chosen mate, specially picked and favored by Luna Claire. In a couple of days, she would be mated to him and would officially become the Luna of the Cold Moon pack.
“Lisa, as much as I do not want this, I need not remind you that Rowan needs his mate for his wolf to become stronger. Do I?” Luna Claire asked in an uptight frown, making Lisa swallow.
Lisa shook her head severally, “Not at all, Luna.” she admitted. She could not afford to offend the Luna afterall.
“This is solely for the benefit of the pack, Lisa. It would be better if you don't think too much about it.” She scolded.
“You will be claimed and marked as his Luna.” She pointed at Lisa, pausing for a brief second to let her words sink in. Her eyes swept over everyone in the room finally settling on me.
I tried to steady my breathing. Everyone in the room had their eyes on me now. I was able to handle their stares before now, but at the moment, I desperately wanted the ground to open up and swallow me. Maybe it would if I prayed hard enough.
“Lisa here will attend to the pack duties as the Luna while you will be reserved to specially take care of his wolf.” She declared, completely ignoring the fact that I could have a different opinion about this.
It did not matter to her that she was practically enforcing her decision on me not caring how I felt about this whole thing.
My eyes met with Rowan's. He shrugged lazily, a silent cue that he was unable to do anything about it.
Just great.
I am expected to watch my fated mate claim and mark another wolf, while being kept aside as his mistress because as an alpha, his wolf ‘needs’ his mate to become stronger.
Was I really a terrible person in my past life to be presented with such a horrible fate in this present one? I wondered in my heart.
“Are we clear on this?” Luna Claire asked, her gaze alternating between Lisa and I.
A lump formed in my throat, making me swallow. “Yes, Luna.” I answered. I wasn't even given a choice in the first place. All I could do was hope that some magic would occur or some supernatural being would appear and rescue me from this horrible fate.
“Yes please,” Lisa responded, her eyes gleaming with hatred at me. She was obviously displeased with Luna Claire’s decision.
I barely managed to make my way out of her office, with my knees almost giving way underneath me as I walked.
I managed to get to my room without aid, and as soon as I laid on my bed, the events of my last birthday, a day I was supposed to cherish but had turned into a nightmare, flashed through my mind.
Flashback
I had just turned eighteen. Although I had no family to celebrate with, I was hoping to make the best out of it. The excitement of meeting my mate as soon as possible overwhelmed me. He was the only hope I was holding unto.
I sang as I tried on new outfits given to me by Lily, my only friend in the pack, for my birthday. I was checking out myself in the mirror and gushing over a beautiful red dress when I caught a whiff of this scrumptious scent of cinnamon and coconut. It appealed to me, growing stronger as it advanced towards me.
Rowan had walked in on me while I changed my dress. My breath hitched in surprise, then it slowly dawned on me that he was the owner of the delicious scent clouding my senses.
“Mate!” He muttered almost in a whisper, confirming my suspicions. I froze to the spot for a moment in utter dismay.
Was this some sort of a joke or something?
How could I be fated to a man who was already taken? Fated to no other than the future alpha for crying out loud. What wrong had I done to the moon goddess? I thought bitterly.
His sudden charge toward me brought me back to the present. He grabbed me and pinned me to the wall. The feel of his breath on my neck emitted sparks that coursed through my whole body. My cheeks flushed as my body shuddered in delight at the contact.
“You smell so delicious.” He growled in a husky voice. His head hung for a split second before it lowered, bringing his mouth to meet mine.
“Rowan..” I called in fear for my life. I couldn't risk anyone seeing us in this position.
“Please stop.” I begged.
The creak of the door sent me into a fit of panic with Bella peering into my room just at the time.
“Rowan!” Bella gasped, Her gaze shifted to me in disdain.
“Dammit!” He cursed as he dashed out after Bella who marched straight out of the room.
“I'm done for.” was all I could mutter as I sank down on my bed.
End of flashback
I let the tears freely run down my cheeks, I needed the release, I could no longer bottle up the pain I felt as Luna Claire's pronouncement had weakened me to my bones. My heart broke the more I thought about it.
Everything I ever owned was always in one way or the other taken away from me.
My parents were snatched from me by death.
My position as the beta’s daughter was stripped off me.
Now my fated mate was being mated to another.
No parents.
No rank.
No mate.
OLIVIA “Why did you have to treat me the way you did all these years?” I really wanted to know.“Go ask your slut of a mother.”Moon Goddess! Words are unable to describe the amount of rage that coursed through my veins as she hurled an insult at my mom.My hands clenched into fists as I studied her face ready to aim a punch at her nose if she dares come closer again when Cameron's aura reached for me, filling me with calmness. “Well,” I started coolly, “Firstly, my mother is no slut!” “Secondly,” I continued, noticing how Claire observed my calmness. “Trust me when I say I would have done just that. But then, she isn't responsible for the said actions of a certain Luna.” I laced my words with a good dose of nonchalance.She narrowed her eyes in an angry glare. “So what are you trying to …”“What did I ever do to you?” I demanded, raising my voice and emitting a strong aura that I never knew I possessed before now. My imposing aura takes immediate effect as I see the shock flash
OLIVIA There were still a few things I wanted to know from Luna Claire. They were questions I very much needed answers to. I had always thought of her bullying me as normal seeing as she bullied others too even though mine was far worse. With how often she did so, I grew a thick skin to her bullying as I had no rank nor qualification to stand up to her, so I thought. Now, a whole lot has changed within me and I feel more confident in myself. The new me wanted to know why Claire had done all she did to me. I actually felt the need to go with Cameron for support but decided against it, I needed her to be free with me and Cameron's presence wouldn't ensure that. I wanted to know why she despised me, why she did not want me for her son as a mate but I was good enough as his whore. What was the whole point of all she did when it all boiled down to where we were now? I thought, stepping into the dungeon at the back of the huge mansion that was the palace. I walked through the passage,
CARAHis mate continued to move towards him. I shook my head at her with my eyes warning her to not near him. Against my warning, she went on to meet him.I gasped in terror, dreading what would happen as she reached out for his arm but he instead turned to face her calmly.With everyone focusing their gaze on them fearing what would happen next, the silence was heavy and one could make out the sound of a pin that dropped.With her slender hands, she cupped his chin, bringing his face to meet with hers. No one ever interrupted Cameron, not when he boiled with anger, or busy with something, not even while he still spoke. But his mate dared to approach him. We were all shocked at how easily her presence was able to quench the simmering annoyance burning in his chest.“This is a good sign.” I mused. I was pleased when I got to know that my brother had found his mate and honestly, I had been dying to meet her. The moment I met her, I could tell that she was the light in his darkness and
CAMERON It took a whole lot of back and forth negotiations between us and the northern lycan kingdom. Right before the representatives of the northern lycan territory, the council had decided the fate of the rogue Lycan- he was sentenced to life imprisonment after freeing his beast spirit. Funny enough, the same people that had banished him from their kingdom were now asking for him to be handed over to them. He happened to be son of the Chief elder in council of the northern lycan kingdom - a big disappointment to his father. These peeps were unbelievable.“I hope you know you are treading on delicate ground.” My father frowned, his features tightened into a dangerous expression. “Your Majesty, his lycan can be taken away from him here as passed.” He spoke warily, clearly feeling uneasy in his own skin.“So?” My father demanded. “Your Majesty, we… we… plead that you permit him to face his prison sentence on the shores of his father's land.” The bespectacled grey haired elder bo
CAMERON Mouse brown, frizzy hair, blotchy skin with scars all over. I immediately recognized the thin, malnourished body of the traitor lycan of the northern kingdom.Who would have thought that he would make an appearance and getting him would be so easy. He must have thought himself and his men well prepared for battle to have come this far. With my beast still thirsty for more of the bastard's blood, I pinned him to the ground with my fingers wound around his neck. I tightened my fingers causing him to gurgle up blood from his nostrils and mouth, releasing him when his eyelids shut close in weariness, his face had gone pale white. “Bind him with silver and bring him to the palace.” I gestured to the warriors who wasted no time in carrying out my order.My eyes scrutinized the spot where Landon had been bitten and saw that it wasn't so bad but still needed to be tended to. It was nothing his beast couldn't handle but we needed to be sure the bite wasn't poisoned. No one knew what
CAMERON I watched as the warriors train like never before. I had ordered all our warriors to be on extra training as we had had a few invasions into our territory with the perpetrators absconding successfully leaving us with nothing but minute traces. Not only was it frustrating, but also an embarrassment to the kingdom and I made sure to put everyone into shape. Within these few days, we had tightened the security around the borders. The number of warriors on patrol around the borders have doubled, each team been accompanied with two of our best trackers, while I made sure to cross check each patrol team to ensure no one was slacking in their responsibility. Not that anyone in their right mind would, you just can't tell. As the warriors wrapped up their training, and split themselves into different groups, the memories of the meeting we had held with the King of the Northern Lycan kingdom replayed itself on my mind. I, in the company of Landon and a few elders of the council had
We made our way to the waiting cars as a group. We're traveling with all three cars in the mansion and our luggage had already been filed in the trunks of the cars the previous day. Lily hopped into the black Audi with her mate driving them both. While Cameron and I sit in the SUV with mom in the front passenger seat alongside Landon who would be driving us. The last car was to follow us from behind and it's being driven by someone I figured is from the council as it was pretty obvious from their aura that the two men in the car are Lycans. We arrived Silverton kingdom after what seemed like a long hell of a ride. If I'm not mistaken, it took us about three hours to get here. The Silverton kingdom, being in charge of all the wolves in the southern werewolf kingdom, had the council built on their land. Taking a good look at the areas my eyes can see at a time, it's clear that the land mass can certainly host three large packs of wolves.Landon made a detour through another tarred ro
OLIVIA In spite of Cameron's constant assurance of his family loving me ever since he told them he had found me, I still found myself being a little bit wary and uncertain. Today was the day we were to go back to his kingdom and despite not having to do so much, I still put in some effort to look elegant while still keeping it simple. I put on a pair of navy blue tailored skirt and a simple cream colored blouse. I styled my hair into a low ponytail and used the hot tong to curl a few strands into ringlets, letting them fall down the sides of my face. I looked into the mirror to check myself out when Cameron wrapped me with his arms, leaning his head on my shoulder. “You look just perfect.” He complimented, going ahead to kiss the nape of my neck. A tingle reverberated on the spot, spreading through my body. “Is Mac back?” I inquired from Cameron. Mac had gone to Cold Moon to pick up his mate, Lily. As someone who worked directly for the King, Mac was unable to stay elsewhere excep
CHAPTER FORTY FIVE OLIVIA My mate's deep voice filtering in my mind was no longer a surprise. Cameron often reached out to me whenever he felt my emotions and sometimes, he had a clue to my thoughts. ‘Nothing I can't handle.’ I answered. The last thing I wanted was for my mate to appear here because of this crazy nutcase. That would be so unnecessary plus, she was mine to handle. Suddenly, Lily shrieked in alarm. Lisa had drawn out the claws of her uninjured hand to attack me. I released my aura in full, hitting both Lisa and Bella who chose to make her appearance at this time with the latter flopping down on her friend. Unfortunately for Lily, she had her back smashed against the wall. I made a mental note to apologize to Lily later on. Bella as an alpha wolf, hoisted herself up almost immediately, looking astounded and annoyed. She sustained an injury from the fall as blood was trickling down the right side of her face. “What's the meaning of..” She paused, stopping to glare h
