Alexa's POV The next morning was awkward for the both of us. For one, she did not know how to act around me again and for some reason, she seemed to look at me like I was some god or something.Did she not get the part where I told her I did not have a wolf? Obviously she missed that part because her eyes were saying it all." Hey, I don't want to go to school today. Is there any way you can like...I don't know...teleport me somewhere else so my mum doesn't figure it out?" She asked.I looked at her weirdly." When In the world did I tell you I could teleport" I asked.This girl was unbelievable." But you can fly right? Like all those super hero movies and stuff. Oh this is all too much" she said, putting a hand on her head.I tried not to facepalm as I picked her bag up and chucked it into her hands." Get your butt out of here and get to school before I actually lose my shit right now" I said, my eyes desperately trying to look angry.She sighed, flinging the bag over her shoulder
Alexa's POV He had pulled back from me smirking, a mischievous glint in his eyes like he had been able to achieve what he wanted.My brain was mushy although it was not my first kiss. Perhaps it was because of the sound of everyone cheering me and teasing or probably because of the smug look on his face, but I drew my hand back and landed a well articulated slap on his face.He did not even flinch, looking at me with his eyes raised in confusion." I thought you wanted me to kiss you" he said." Wanted? You just went all ninja on me. Is this what you wanted all along? A kiss? Or what more?" I asked, suddenly flaring up more than I was supposed to." What no...I want you. All that is just the bonus. Why don't you trust me?" He asked, a look of hurt crossing his features. " Just go..." I muttered.He nodded his head slowly, before he walked away."Hey, why did you do that? You know he likes you and I know you sure as hell like him. So what's wrong?" Hayley said, pulling me aside." I
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

Alexa's POV When I finally opened my eyes, I was on the soft cushioned bed that I was so used to. The room was familiar, a vibrant female teenage room.I struggled to remember what happened. I hated it when I blacked out, it was always hard to remember events that happened and although I did not regularly black out, it was always an unpleasant encounter that I would rather avoid.Hayley was sitting at the side of the bed, her head lulling to sleep as she struggled to stay awake." Hey" I called out softly, tapping her arms.She got up with a jolt, her eyes looking about quickly before it finally settled on my face.She shifted back a little avoiding my touch and shocking me.What the hell happened last night? Or before I fainted? Was it even still that night?Then suddenly, like a wave, it came rushing back to me, punching me in the guts.The nagging headaches, the floating and then the blacking out.I looked at Hayley. Oh, she had seen it." Who are you...or what are you? Are you
Alexa's POV I looked at her face, expectation written on every inch of it. I sighed, wondering just how to tell her and explain to her without revealing anything about mates and the werewolf community.After I told her the edited version of the story, I watched her grin from ear to ear for a solid minute." I swear to the goddess that if you don't stop grinning I would legit punch a hole into your teeth." I threatened, slightly annoyed by her overly annoying smile." I mean, I just can't help it. Did you see the guys that just walked in? I would marry each of them without a single hesitation. And here you are, with basically every woman's dreams and you are like oh, you don't want him around?" She asked, her face mirroring the surprise that lingered in her voice.I shifted uncomfortably on the chair, not wanting to go down that route. Explaining things about my pack and remembering the idiot I fell helplessly in love with hurt way more than I would like to admit.I sighed, deciding t
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 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
Alexa's POV I was dreading going to the coffee shop the next day. Not because I cared what he did or if he came back, but mostly because I did not want to admit the fact that he may actually be my mate.I heard sparks flew when mates touched. But the only thing that flew was insults and maybe today a broken nose might be added to that list.But of course, the moon goddess never really addressed any of my prayers.When he walked in just shortly after I opened the shop, I prepared myself for a mental breakdown that was long over due anyways." I thought I made myself clear when I said I don't want to see your pathetic face any where around me?" I asked the moment he stepped up to the counter." Ouch. Are you always this brutal?" He asked." I thought I answered this question yesterday." I asked." Look I know it's hard for you to just see a random stranger walking up to you and probably being a douche, but I really need to talk to you and honestly there are things you don't understand.
Alexa's POV When things went too perfect, I always knew there would be a twist soon. Most of the time it was always a bad twist. Sometimes there is a good twist here and there but nothing spectacular.It was another normal day at the cafe shop. I was bored out of my mind and just wanted to curl into a ball and die. But of course death was a luxury I could not get.Hayley and gem had gone with their dad to visit a niece or something, I was not really paying attention to what she was saying.I was dozing off slowly already, my head banging the counter a few times when the door opened.Their presence was announced with the looming shadow their huge figures casted on me. I raised my head up groggily, hoping they already decided on their orders so I could go back to drifting in and out of sleep.They were huge. The one on the left hand had a long tattoo that reassembled a dragon, running into his shirt.I looked at their faces one after the other, my eyes slowly leading to the one in the
Alexa's POV When I opened my eyes, I was in a room. A room different from the one I fell asleep in. I looked around unsurely, touching a few paintings and trying to find a soul.Voices were coming from just beyond the door outside. There were approaching the room faster now. The door burst open and a strange man entered, carrying someone in his arms.He looked devastatingly handsome but that was a trait I was used to seeing in most men. He also felt oddly familiar. Like I had met him somewhere.He dropped the body on the bed, his arms shaking." Where is the pack doctor? Don't you see she is bleeding out?"he growled pointing to the body and screaming out the door.Two women and a man entered inside. " Alpha you really have to calm down She would be fine" the old man said.For some reasons, I was beginning to freak out." Where am I and who are you people?" I asked firmly.The man looked in my direction. I felt my heart clench. No, he was definitely more handsome than any guy I hav
