The Omega's True Mate THE MORNING AFTER: REFLECTIONS
I ran my hands over my head, recalling how the Lycan King had drawn lines over my skin as he kissed me. I remembered us sharing a wine and laughing as we drank away. I had felt at ease and connected to Alpha Alaric much deeply last night. But thinking about it more now, I felt nothing but embarrassment. My cheeks flushed as more thoughts-thoughts I couldn't even think of describing- came rushing back at me. "Oh, no," I muttered with a cracked voice as I laid down on my bed. "What did I just do? What did I just freaking do?" I thought back to the expression the Lycan King had last night as we shared our intimate moment. They matched mine and for the first time, I discovered a deeply romantic part of him that I never thought I would ever see. He was so intentional with every single thing he did last night and I felt a deep blush spread across my cheeks. My hands shook slightly and I brought them closer to my chest as I stared up at the
The Omega's True Mate UNEXPECTED GESTURES, ANOTHER CALL
The Lycan King's presence immediately made everyone alert and they all increased the intensity of their work. I, on the other hand, did nothing but stand fixated at the spot, staring at him. Anxiety bubbled in my chest, causing my heart to race and my previous thoughts that I had managed to ward off, came rushing back uninvited. Noticing that everyone had now shifted their attention from the Lycan King to me due to my strange reaction to his sudden presence, I quickly comported myself, grunting as I bowed slightly. "Alpha Alaric," I said, trying to sound calm as I lifted my head to meet his eyes. "I... did not expect to see you here." I had thought at first that he would correct me for addressing him with his title but, surprisingly, he said nothing. Maybe, I could only call him by his name in the absence of others. "I just thought I come see how everything was going," Alpha Alaric said, his voice reverberating through the
The Omega's True Mate Whispers Of Love
I knocked slightly on Alpha Alaric's study door before pushing it slightly open. I peeked inside and found the Lycan King sitting on his study chair, scanning through some scrolls and papers on his desk. The door creaked softly and he looked up at me. This was the first time he had not noticed my arrival before I came in and it did surprise me a bit. "Enter, Elora," he said, to me before returning his attention back to his work. I looked around the room for some moments before walking in and closing the door shut behind me. "You requested that I come once I was done with everything that I was doing, Alph--Alaric," I said, correcting myself as I stepped further into the room. "I'm here now." Alpha Alaric looked up again, a faint smile playing at his lips. He seemed to have noticed my nervousness as I addressed him by just his name. "You don't need to feel anxious or nervous when you're with me, Elora," he said, his voice as soft as ever. There was a long moment of silent, on
The Omega's True Mate UNSPOKE PROMISES
I pulled the duvet over me as I turned slightly to face Alpha Alaric. The light from the fireplace glistened off his sweat-covered skin and I watched as his chest slowly rose and fell. It had been more than three weeks since I and the Lycan King became intimate and every night that I now spent with him seemed better than the last. I could see his love for me grow everyday and his affection double by the minute. What confused me though was that despite all these things, all these evidences, I had never for once heard him tell me that he loved me, nor did he ever reveal to anyone what we shared. I didn't really put much thoughts into it though as I assumed he was just waiting for the right time, but tomorrow was the day of the pack's mating ceremony and I wanted to know where he stood-where we stood. Was it all going to be revealed tomorrow, or did I have to wait some more? "Alaric?" I called after many minutes of thinking through what I was going to say. The Lycan King after hearin
The Omega's True Mate THE MATING CEREMONY: STRANGER
The preparations for the mating ceremony had begun since daytime as the ceremony was to start by midnight. I oversaw the entire preparation, making sure that everything was in order before the guests would begin to arrive.I had not seen Alpha Alaric since our previous night and I wasn't sure I was ready to face him. Occasionally, I caught glimpses of him around the mansion, but I made sure to turn the other way. We weren't fighting or anything, but my foolishness from last night made it hard for me to face him.The servants soon finished with the preparations before evening, and afterward, they all returned to our rooms to freshen up. Gadot and I discussed about what I was going to wear, and I told her that I planned on having something simple but yet elegant-one that would make me to stand out from the crowd. I didn't mention to her, however, that my main goal was to catch the Lycan King's eye.After our discussion, I bade her goodbye and headed to my room to clean myself. After hav
The Omega's True Mate THE ALTAR REVELATION: BETRAYAL
"I would like to thank everyone who chose to take out time from their works to come down here for our packs mating ceremony," Alaric began, adjusting his coat as he cleared his throat. The crowds attention focused on him as he continued, "I, Alpha Alaric, the Lycan King, appreciate you all sincerely for gracing the occasion." The crowd erupted with applause and cheers and I joined in too. Amidst the clapping, I noticed my cousin, Emily, slowly move through the crowd, heading for the platform. I paused, a frown appearing on my face as I watched her disappear into the sea of people. Where was she going? The crowd immediately fell silent, and I turned to Alaric to see him raising his hands. "As you all know, today is a great day, one that will define the future of many of us," he continued as his eyes scanned the crowd. When his gaze landed on me, he paused, giving me a smile before turning back to the gathering. His warm smile eased the tension that Emily had caused, and I felt my che
The Omega's True Mate WAKING TO MY NEW REALITY
Echoes of laughter erupted around me and I felt myself sink into the sound. Wide eyes stared at me from the darkness encompassing me while the laughter grew. Hands reached from the shadows to try and pull me into the darkness, but before they could get to me, I ran. I had only made it to a few paces when a hand suddenly shut out from the ground underneath me and grabbed my legs. I fell to the cold earth with a loud thud, wincing as the air in my lungs got knocked out. The hand pulled me under as I screamed out in fright. Everything suddenly came to a stop as the sound of ringing bells reached my ears. My eyelids fluttered open, the light from my open window hitting my eyes causing me to squint. My heart pounded in my chest and beads of sweat rolled down my face, the remnants of the nightmare I just had clinging to me like a fog. I was glad nonetheless that it had just been a dream. I took in a shaky breath, trying to calm myself as I rolled to the side of my bed. I winced loudly a
The Omega's True Mate ALMOST TIME
I laid on my bed, staring at my ceiling as different thoughts ran through my mind. I questioned myself, asking if what I was about to do really was the right thing or if I was taking things too far. But the more I thought about it, the more convinced in became. I had to leave. The day crawled by, slower than I expected and each minute felt like a thousand years. I awaited nightfall, the time my plans were to commence and throughout the wait, I refused to leave my room. The mansion servants knocked on my door, each of them asking of their assigned duty for the day but I paid none of them any heed. The offered me food, which I know was done out of pity for what had happened to me the previous night, but I refused that too. Apart from the fact that I didn't have the appetite for food, I didn't have the strength nor the will to interact with anybody. Chuckles reverberated through the corridors outside my room throughout the day and I didn't need anyone to tell me who they belonged too
