Chapter 23Lucian's POVI had never hoped for a mate, or for love. I was just satisfied with having a few flings here and there. It was no fault of mine that I was a lycan, but I was definitely the one paying the price.But when I stepped into that coffee shop and the intoxicating scent hit my nostrils, it was like a whole new world was opened up.At first I had just been craving a cup of coffee, and perhaps a light snack to go with it, but stepping into the shop, my hunger for something else increased.I did not know what I wanted but I knew that it was that intoxicating scent that had me all wrapped in a knot.The scent was coming from a small human, her long hair pulled up in a ponytail and her lips curled down in a frown.My wolf was beginning to become impatient, just waiting for a chance to look at her. And when that chance finally came, looking into her pure orb like eyes, my wolf uttered the words I never thought I would hear.Mate.But so far, I have been finding out that h
CHAPTER 24Alexa's POV The next couple of days were not that bad. I did not like him yet, but I knew I was getting there. And the thought on its own scared me. I did not want to like a werewolf. The whole species of them were ruthless heart breakers and dominant males who thought a mate was supposed to be submissive.I knew he had not displayed any of those characteristics but It was only a matter of time before he finally did.He still thought I was a human. I did not have any plans of correcting that mistake any time soon anyways. I watched him stumble on his words trying to tell me what he really is.Hayley would be coming back today and i was genuinely excited to see her again. She was probably the first human that won my heart and she knew just how well to keep it.As I tidied up the coffee shop, my regular stalker no where to be found, I could not help but wonder just how things were going at the pack.Did they even try to look for me? This whole hiding my scent thing, perhaps
CHAPTER 1Alexa's POV The sky was bright red, I could feel myself falling, from the bright red sky, the air leaving my lungs. I tried to grasp anything, anything that could break my fall and not send me spiraling to my room down below. I closed my eyes as my body neared the ground, bracing for impact.I landed with a soft thud. Possibly the first thing that shocked me. I had landed on something, a mould of something...or more appropriately, someone. The dark red blood that spilled out of the person's chest made me gasp as I tried to get up, falling on my hands again. I was struggling to get my breathing under control, afraid that I might die next to a dead person.As I backed away, my hand hit another mould, turning around, I saw another body, lying just a few feet from the first. The scream that I wanted to so desperately release did not come out. I was screaming in my mind, my mouth was wide open, but not a single sound came out.I got up swiftly, and that was when it hit me. I la
CHAPTER 2 Alexa's POV " Would you really just stand there? Where is the fruit basket? I swear I will tell Daddy about this " she whined, stomping her foot as I looked at her uninterested.The " she" was the spoilt princess of alpha Armstrong. Diana Armstrong.When we were young, I never liked her much. I just tolerated her because her parents were basically forcing her on me and my mum won't let me ignore her and stay in my room.She was so clingy then, basically licking my shoes and trying to be best friends.It's funny that the urge to call me her best friend disappeared immediately I was demoted to omega.She became my number one bully. Telling me how my hair stank or how I was just a human parading to be a werewolf.Now, as I watched her throw one of her numerous tantrums as her two minions tried to comfort her, I could not help but feel an immense hate bubble deep within my stomach.Not directed at her, or at any of them in the slightest.But to the so called goddess that enjoy
CHAPTER 3Alexa's POV When you were of a lower rank, nobody really cared about you or what you decide to do with your life. You could be standing on the edge of a cliff about to jump and they won't even notice.Somehow, I enjoyed this invisible cloak that being an omega got me. At least I was left alone to myself mostly, except when the bitches came out to play and decided they had nothing better to do than to insult me.But then again, I never really let their words get to me. Some of them did though. Like the words of me being mateless because I did not have a wolf, or the words of me being a curse.Those words hit hard, mostly at my heart which would begin to ache dully like it yearned to free itself from a weak master like myself.I was so used to walking down the hall ways with basically no one taking any notice of me, so when a voice called out my name, urging me to stop, I was sure it was just in my head.My head has a way of playing funny games with me. I kept walking, chalki
CHAPTER 4Alexa's POV The mating ceremony was more or less a shit show in my opinion. It was just a fancy gathering for wolves who hoped they would not be a reject of the goddess and finally get their plus one.It didn't matter that most times, in these ceremonies, the plus ones are not always as caring as they are painted out to be.Of course, while werewolves are forever in love with their mates and would never want to hurt them, some wolves are just dominant psychopaths who beat their mates into submission.I was never a fan of these. Growing up, I hoped that I would just meet a nice man and settle down with him,mate or not. When I finally became a thing with Aries, I had sworn to heaven above and beyond that he was the one.Stupid me already had a marriage proposal written out for when I clocked eighteen and took over my father's throne. Well...I was always delusional.The mating ceremony was to be attended by the most influential and basically any maiden that was interested. Mor
CHAPTER 5Alexa's POV As my legs stopped pumping, I realized just how tired I was. I had run out of the ball room and out of the pack house in what felt like seconds.I was desperate to go further, faster, anything that would take the ache and shame away. I saw how they all looked at me, like I was some sort of charity case, a plague that would likely spread if left alone.As I felt the cool grass underneath my feet, I finally felt my muscles relax. Somewhere in the house probably laid my shoes, long forgotten as I ran away faster than Cinderella ever could.I was bare footed, clad in a dress that could barely be called a dress and shivering. I was a wolf-less werewolf, hated by her own pack and creator.The thought to hang myself raged rampant in my head. I never really had respect for those who committed suicide. It was always so Unclear to me. What was so bad that would warrant you to take your own life? But now, as I sat on the cold grass in the moonlight, reminiscing on the hap
CHAPTER 6Alexa's POV As I stood there waiting like a lamb about to be sacrificed to the gods, I could feel that I was not the only nervous one.Aries was playing with his fingers and hands, a nervous habit I had come to under he had.This eased my mind a little, at least he felt guilty for all he made me pass through yesterday."Alexa" the alpha called looking at me.I looked up, a small smile on my face.I probably looked crazy, like something a dog dragged out of the water.But I didn't mind. I wanted my haunting looks to torment them and probably send them to the pit of hell but that would be wishing for too much." Beta Armstrong" I replied, mostly to piss him off.He growled his wolf showing as his eyes flashed gold." That's alpha Armstrong" he said through his teeth.I flinched a little, I could never get used to them baring their teeth and hair springing out of their bodies when they were furious.He calmed down, probably realizing that scaring me or threatening me would do
