To The Highest Bidder: Mated To Alpha Lukan 00012 : Tension At The Dinner Table.
MERIDA I blinked , the sun on my face and I squinted. My leg sting from the pain which drove through meLemuel stood awkwardly beside me, he glanced at an angry Lukan and then back to me, as though unsure whether to help me up or not. "Lukan!" I gasped, my voice cracking , this was the first time I was calling him by his name.He stood there, staring down at us, his eyes narrowed, his jaw clenched. There was something funny in the way he looked at Lemuel, as if the very idea of us together made him angry.I tried to scramble to my feet, but my leg throbbed, and I winced, I stayed put. “I... I tripped,” I stammered, trying to explain. “It was an accident.” Lemuel quickly nodded, his face pale. His cheeks flushed “Yeah, she fell. I was just—”“Just what ?" Lukan's voice was cold and low.He didn’t seem interested in Lemuel’s explanation, nor mine. The way he looked between the two of us, there was something else swirling in his mind—something I didn't think was possible. Jealo

LUKAN.I took a sip from the wine flute , from the corner of my eyes , I could see Merida stealing glances at Lemuel. My wolf gave a silent growl and I wonder what's with all this nonsense. I really don't want to feel that I was probably getting jealous .Hell no !But she was already getting used to Lemuel in just two days , I looked away angrily trying to hide my anger though.Lemuel's and Zayna's chatter filled the air , they were also getting ready to become mates . I almost laughed , it feels so absurd.I clicked against the empty wine flute with my fork drawing attention to myself. Everyone stared at me and the hushed discussion paused.Better .I cleared my throat and looked around for sometime , Merida stared at me before looking down at her food."I have some very important news to share with everyone." I announced and from the corner of my eyes I could see mother beaming . " All preparations have been made,"I said after a few seconds. "Preparations?"Lemuel asked and he exch

MERIDA.Embarrassment washed over me like a tidal wave , I couldn't stand properly and I stared down at my light green dress. Too bad I won't be wearing it ever again.*"She couldn't hold the glass properly." * Zayna had said but she was lying and I couldn't say anything ,just anything to defend myself.As usual my tongue betrayed laying limp and dry in my mouth tasting like dry paper ."Yes, I should go and change." I said and I glanced up to see Zayna smiling at me.As I went up the stairs , Zayna light elegant steps echoed behind me .I could see the way Lukan was staring at me , I saw that silent anger in his eyes , he was quite irritated that I couldn't even defend myself."What a magnificent bedroom." Zayna said, looking around."Thank you." I said sheepishly."Not you . I was complimenting the room." She intoned , her voice so sweet for someone that mean. She had poured the wine on me on purpose but I just couldn't say anything.I went to the wardrobe ,I guess I had no idea why

MERIDAChapter 15."That's not true." I heard myself saying , not believing that my voice could sound that way , so thin , almost breaking as if it wasn't mine.I blinked back the tears that were already running down my cheeks , I swallowed hard, making me realize that for the hundredth time I was feeling so worthless, so unloved .I wanted to glare at Zayna but I couldn't each time I raised my eyes and they fell back to my feet .Wanted a voice to tell me that Zayna was lying , that she was jealous and trying to break me and Lukan apart.How could she say that ?When I heard the concern always ringing in his voice when he asked about me .The anger when he learnt about what Aunt Ophelia and Uncle Garrick had done to me .All my life , no one had looked at me with so much concern , the care in his eyes . Back at Frostclaw Pack , members of the pack had never felt so sorry for me.Me ?I gave a silent laugh , I wasn't allowed to let the sun grace my cheeks , I could count how many time

LUKAN"Why did you take so much time in the bathroom?" I asked Merida who was sitting before the dresser staring at the beauty collection before her , clueless on what to do .Her hair was raised high on her head in elegant waves and the fish tail gree gown made her look kind of beautiful, I could have been better if the gown hugged her curves but there was nothing."Because , I like —" Again she trail off and I wasn't bothered to continue with the discussion. "So green is your favorite color ?" I asked after a few minutes trying to pick up a conversation with her and make her say something. She had been quiet all day and she jumped , I rolled my eyes .She turned to look at me confused and clueless, if only there were awards given to people who are clueless , Merida would definitely top the chart."What—" She asked ."Don't bother." I said looking at her from the corner of my eyes , she was lost in thoughts and during breakfast I had caught her stealing glances at me.I knew some

LUKAN ."Let's go ," I said, taking her by the hand. I got the door open and had her go in first ."Don't do that ." I said my voice low and flat , she couldn't look up at me but I knew she was about to start crying.Feminine wiles.I hate it , she couldn't do anything to stop those girls , I can't defend her every single day and every time."To the jewelry store, Alpha?" The driver asked, staring at me from the rearview mirror."No." I intoned." Don't bother , the day is far spent, I will make an order. Just take us to the pack house."He gave a small nod and the car sped away .I glanced at Merida, she was no longer crying, she was looking out of the window and it had already started drizzling.Soon we were at the pack house and she followed soundlessly behind me ."You can go upstairs." I said nodding to the room."I have something very important to discuss with Julietta, you can come down for lunch .""Okay." "I guess Rosita had brought your personal maid to you ." I asked, starin

MERIDA. I couldn't sleep last night. I kept turning and tossing softly on the bed trying hard not to hit Lukan who was sleeping soundly . I didn't know which of my thoughts kept me awake or which of the fears I harbored within me that had stolen sleep from me. The thoughts that Zayna and Lukan had confused me with their words. I was quite scared now . *.... and I think I'm responsible for her death* And now I was sitting before the dresser as the make up artist applied layers and layers of makeup on my face and the hairstylist styled my hair up in elegant waves. I stared back at my reflection.A different woman , more beautiful with almond shaped eyes stared back at me. Maybe this was the reason why I couldn't sleep because today was the wedding. The bonding ceremony. "You look beautiful." The make-up artist said , a huge smile on her face . Slowly I got up and they pushed the hem of my dress far behind me so as not to trip on them. "Thank you." I said , my voice l

MERIDA I stuttered.I couldn't believe what I had just heard . I prayed silently that it was from me , that I heard him wrongly, that my hearing was faulty.If it was true that he was speaking to someone at the other end,a woman obviously , then I definitely don't know this man I was mated to.Why now ?Why hadn't he showed me that he had no feelings for me , not an atom of love .Does that mean that there was actually mate number sixteen and that he was speaking to her .*...don't forget*I heard that too.I moved back a little , I wanted to run away to pretend that I didn't hear him speaking to the woman at the other end .He loves her , obviously , he was smiling.I don't know what to do right now , I can't break down in tears and I couldn't feel pity for myself even when I tried to .I had to stick with him , being here by his side was better than going back to Frostclaw Pack.There was peace, a sense of belonging , I got to see other people not standing weeks locked down in th

ELIZABETHThe room was filled with flickering shadows as the fire in the hearth cracked. As Merida tried processed everything I had said.Her eyes widened and her face went pale as I sat across from her. This was more than just her past it was the reality that had strapped my soul together for years. "You deserve to know everything Merida. . But its difficult to hear what Im about to tell you." I said my voice trembling a little, as I looked around the room ,at everyone listening to me.Julietta handed her a mug of tea and she nodded while her fingers clenched around it. The tone of as "Your parents Naomi and Nathaniel were the most honorable wolves I ever knew." I said my voice was so sorrowful"The love they had for you and your sister , Nahla was greater than life itself. Bit love was insufficient to shield them from the packs evil. "Merida opened her mouth to speak but she remained silent. "There was a struggle for power ."I added. “Some believed Naomi’s bloodline was too
To The Highest Bidder: Mated To Alpha Lukan Chapter 94: The Flashback
ELIZABETH 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒉𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌I remembered the night of Lukan and Nahla's bonding ceremony clearly as if it had been burned into my soul. Deep crimson and royal gold colours which stand for strength and unity were used to decorate the grand hall. Music, laughter and the lovely scent of roses in bloom filled the air. In order to witness the ceremony that would bring two influential families together, every member of the pack was present and dressed to the nines. Lukan was a commanding presence in the middle of the room, his dark eyes searching the crowd for Nahla. A silence descended upon the hall as she eventually emerged. Nahla's smile was more brilliant than the chandeliers above and her silvery gown shone like moonlight. It was a hopeful smile that offered joy for the years ahead. My sense of obligation to them as their aunt had always been very strong. I made sure everything went according to plan . Bit something about that evening seemed strange, that I couldn't place my

ELIZABETH I could remember vividly when I was a little girl,our family had long held dinner as a sacred ritual a time to forget about problems and just spend time together. Tonight Julietta insisted reminded me of that.The table was exquisitely arranged with candles illuminating the food spread. Lukan sat next to Merida and they occasionally smiled as though they were trying to reassure one another. Nahla sat beside me, she had a small smile on her lips but her eyes betrayed everything as she kept stealing glances at Lukan.I sighed, we had discussed about this before coming here today, I can't blame her though. She was still in love with him. Always the gracious hostess Julietta clapped her hands together. "All right everyone start eating! Dean dont argue over the mashed potatoes. " In mock indignation Dean gasped. "Just once ,Mother ! Just once and I'm permanently branded. " T

MERIDAThe warmth of Lukan's hand in mine brought back to reality . I looked up into his delicate grey eyes which were filled with so much emotions that mirrored mine. He ran his thumb over my knuckles and the corners of his lips curled into a slight smile. "Merida I need you to listen to me." He said, his voice was steady and low I nodded for him to go on as I swallowed the lump in my throat. "You're mine Merida." He stated firmly but there was a tenderness in his voice that soothed my jangled nerves. "You will always be my mate regardless of what happens or what you may believe. It won't change anything. " I didn't realize the cracks in my heart were being filled with emotions until his words swept over me. All of my uncertainties, anxieties and confusion seemed to vanish for a moment as the weight of his words struck me. “I…” I tried to say something but

MERIDAI sat in the grand halls, my heart racing as I tried to understand what had just happened . Everything was just too much for me. Questions spiralling in my head . That woman who had suddenly reappeared today of all days on my birthday. My twin sister. Someone I barely remembered. To worsen the situation she was *Lukans first love*. I replayed the scene which happened minutes ago over and over again as my hands balled into fists and my nails digging into my palms. I still remembered Lukan's expression. His face and eyes softening as he gaze at her like one of the wonders of the world. Had he ever looked at me like that ? Is he still in love with her ? Now she was back what will happen to me ? Will he still love me just the same way ?This and many other questions ran through my head as tears threatened to spill.“Merida. . . The sound of his voice jolted me out of my thoughts. His

LUKAN Lemuel's words were still ringing in my ears as I gazed at him. It was unbelievable. I blinked severally maybe it was one of his sick jokes but it wasn't.I turned to Merida."Let’s go." I said in in a more steady voice than I actually felt. We got up from the dining table and made our way to the living room after Merida gave a silent nod. I felt like a something had gone off when I saw what was waiting for us. The room was filled with — Nahla Lemuel wasn't jokingShe was not alone, she was with someone else and she was alive—miraculously impossible alive. The woman stabding next to her recognized me to , I exhaled and looked away.A mixture of emotions made my chest tightened that I didn't know what to feel.My gaze swiftly returned to Nahla as she rushed st me, her arms circling me in a fierce tear bear hug.I closed my eyes allowing the moment to pass. We all thought the past was gone but she was here and happiness surged through me.and the memories of our time toget

MERIDA Despite the thick blankets I had wrapped around myself the cold was still in the room when I woke up and getting into my skin. Even with the heating on, the morning air still had an icy bite to it as winter quickly approached. Instinctively I reached out to feel Lukans warmth but my hand found a cold empty sheet instead. . . My heart skipped a beat. . . Lukan? I yelled softly my voice heavy with sleep.. There was no answer. I sat up massaging my arms to produce heat. There was a spooky silence in the room the kind that made me uneasy. His habit of leaving without saying anything was unusual. Still struggling with the uneasiness that was tearing at my chest I slipped my feet into my slippers and put on a cardigan. As I left our room I had the feeling that the house was empty. The corridors were deserted and the dim winter sunlight streaming in through the windows cast shadows on the floor. Though there were traces of last nights celebrations in the air like the faint scen

MERIDA I stood at the balcony of our room, the sky was without a moon tonight but I wasn't thinking about how beautiful the night was or about Lemuel because it made me feel sad. My mind was elsewhere. I was thinking about something entirely different. In this room, my thoughts and my world were centered around him. Lukan I was thinking about us. But Lukan's calming voice brought me back. "You've been looking out there for some time. What's on your mind?" I looked over and saw him standing by the door, his tie loose and shirt unbuttoned a bit. A wife smile on his thin sensual lips that made me want to kiss him. He appeared like the perfect dream I never thought could come true. There was a way he looked like me. Like I was the most important person in the world. "I was ... thinking about something. About us." I said in a small voice which was barely above a whisper. "I love talking about 'us'," he said, moving closer. "It's what I enjoy the most." I grinned, and h

MERIDAThe waves crashing against the shore was just a beautiful sight to behold. The sun was already going down in the horizon and the orange glow was pretty to watch, but nothing could beat the feeling of Lukan holding me close. That tender feeling of love made my heart soar.We had spent the evening laughing and walking around the beach and at some point he wanted us to dive in and swim but I suck at swimming and i had laughed."I wish we could stay like this forever." I whispered feeling the cool breeze brush past my cheeks as I rested my head on his shoulders."Me too." He agreed with a low, relaxed voice." To stay here for eternity." I smiled when I thought about it. "I feel the same way." Everything stopped for a moment, and it felt like time stood still. The gentle smell of salt and hope for the future was brought by the sea breeze, the waves crashing softly making a second that matched our heartbeat." Time wasn't important in this place. It was only us, the sea, and the
