To The Highest Bidder: Mated To Alpha Lukan The Highest Bidder's Secret
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 loud enough for them t

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

MERIDA " Meridaaaaa!!!" Someone yelled my name from upstairs and I gave a silent groan as my head pounded not from the scream but from lack of sleep and hunger." Where is that ostrich called Merida?" The voice said again as I struggled to my feet and my stomach rumbled.I didn't need a seer to tell me who it was. It was no other person but my Aunt Ophelia. I could hear her loud footsteps coming down the stairs. Just as I tried to steady myself, I fell back on the box I had been sitting on. " Goodness me." She gasped." I just hope I'm blind and not seeing you sitting like the mate to a powerful Alpha."she said to me. I opened my mouth to say something and only air poured out and, before I could blink, her hands flew through the air and made slices of slaps on my cheeks, sending me reeling backwards."What have you been doing here? You have been busy doing nothing, I guess." She said again to me and I kept mute. Enough experience had told me that trying to defend myself would only

MERIDAMy eyes were spinning in my head, and they dropped on my feet.My tongue felt so limp and dry that I couldn't utter a single word.Shhhh, I said to myself.Don't say a word. Don't even breathe. I could feel the hot intensity of their eyes, I was almost burning under their gaze and I wished the ground would open and swallow me up. My cheeks were burning up, already turning red with embarrassment and I felt so scared I could feel the Alpha's eyes on me. "Why did you do it?"he asked suddenly, making me glance up and look away quickly. He sat back on the chair and gulped down the contents in the tumbler and set it back on the table."It was my birthday. My sixth birthday party." I forced myself to speak." I wanted to give my parents a treat, so I added the Nightshade fern.""The Nightshade fern is of two types," Alpha Lukan said, rubbing his jaw slightly."the one with green leaves is extinct now, and I presume you are speaking about the one with blue petals."Aunt Ophelia and her

LUKAN" So she is the 13th bride, yeah?" Dean asked as the Mercedes-Benz glided towards the pack." I forgot she is the 15th and not a bride, right?" Dean asked again but got no response from me.I have so many things to think of than to give him a reply.From my mind's eyes I could envision a sly smile creeping up his lips." Be quiet Dean." Lemuel shushed him in a small voice."I was just thinking aloud, that's all." Dean continued, and my face turned red. "I'll be forced to clip your lips together." I said to him, my voice kind of low as the car pulled up in front of the Packhouse of Frostclaw Ever since I had met her, something had gone off in me, not that she was the first woman I met or more beautiful than the others, but there was something different about her which I just couldn't place.The connection was just too strong. Dean was so correct. She was the 15th girl I met and deep down I was kind of anxious. I was hoping that she would be The One whom I have been searching fo

LUKAN" Oh, I'm so sorry." Rosita said quickly, composing herself and looking kind of embarrassed." I was kind of lost in thought."" Fine if you say so." I replied, not wanting to push it, but I knew I saw a kind of recognition in her eyes. I was staring at Merida, it was now that I looked at her. She was probably thinner and looking frail than before, and she was always trying to avoid my gaze."You have to take her measurement Rosita for her new dresses."" Yes, Alpha Lukan," Rosita replied and proceeded to take Merida's measurement, who was looking kind of frightened. I peered at her, and it seemed there were a lot of things she wanted to say. "What is it, Merida? Speak." Merida shook her head."No, it's nothing."I stared at her for a while, living with her aunt and uncle must have molded her into someone who is silently headstrong and stubborn."If you have something to say, then spill it out, don't get me angry. As my mate, you should learn to be outspoken, and also I will m

MERIDA"I don't know anything about the Nightshade fern,"I said in a very small voice hesitantly. He was staring at me now, and I could see a glint of concern in his eyes. The way he had shouted minutes ago proved just one thing. It meant that he cared about me.This was the first time anyone was going to show me so much care. " I thought you knew the difference between both flowers, though they kind of look alike."" I- I don't know," I stammered.He exhaled." But your aunt and uncle said you knew the difference, like I explained before, the Nightshade fern is of two types. The first is extinct and the one they said you added to your parents' drink is very difficult to find. But I know that something about the story isn't adding up."I glanced up at him as he continued."Your fingers are supposed to be stained if indeed you pluck one of the flowers."" Oh." That was the only thing I could say. " I will make them pay for making you suffer." He said to me and walked through the wind

LUKAN"What do you mean by her injuries won't heal easily."I said bursting into the room and from the corner of my eyes I could see Merida flinched.My fist rolled into a ball by my sides and my eyes were blazing. I was so angry that I was even surprised. This was the kind of anger that came because one cared so much about someone.I shook my head , I was only doing it because I felt pity towards her, I said to myself.Julietta's head shot up quickly and she gave me a sidelong look which I recognized immediately and turned away. I knew something terrible was going on."You will have to apply the Willows Tears on the injury." She said in a very small voice her eyes fixed on mine as she walked to her desk." Come Merida, let me take you upstairs." I said, taking her hand .Upstairs in our bedroom ,I made her lift her shirt up and unscrewed the small bottle , the greenish paste-like substance stared back at me, it had no smell .I scoped just a little amount and placed it on the injury
