~Xyana~ Stepping into Gaston's office, I notice him looking so stressed out with his face buried in his palms. I feel my heart ache for seeing him like this. I fight the urge to circle his desk and pull him into a hug while telling him everything will be okay. But I know that would seem rather inappropriate and it might throw him off. “Please sit,” he says, letting out an exhausted breath. I take a seat quietly and wait for him to speak. After what seemed like a minute or more of silence, I decided to start up the conversation. "What is going on, Gaston? What is this big secret everyone seems to know but me?" “I’m sorry, Xyana," he finally speaks. "Unfortunately, I'm really not in the right position to speak to you about any of this." He says calmly, worry flashing in his eyes. "Clifton will tell you all you need to know. I promise you, he will. I will follow him up and make sure he does that as soon as possible." His worried voice makes me super anxious. I rub my palms toge

~Xyana~ "Huh?" is the only word I'm able to form amidst my shock. Finally, he stops staring and his lips thinned out in a small smile. "You don't think I'll be curious to know why a wolf wouldn’t want to communicate with her Mates? Worst still, she's mad at them and prefers someone else who doesn't want her." 'Alpha Kedar wants us, Xyana.' Juno tells me, from inside my head. 'His wolf wants us too. He's just confused and upset. I only asked you to choose this Alpha because you really want to stay here. But if he doesn't want us, let's go back to our mate. He will take us back. I can assure you. I'll help you lose some weight. I'll help you become stronger. Let's go.' I keep quiet. Ignoring Juno, I set my gaze on Gaston, who has a frown on his face. But he continues speaking; "Even if your wolf was overwhelmed, I can assure you that wolves are feisty beings and can surely handle their primary instincts less effectively than we would be able to." "But..." I start, yet I can't say

~Xyana~ "Hello, Adina," I call, making a beeline straight to the pack house's private kitchen that is set aside for the use of the people living in the pack house, which I'm part of, by the way. "Good afternoon ma'am." She greets stalking behind me. "I can get you a good full-course brunch from the main kitchen. That fridge only has snacks that, in my opinion, are unhealthy." She volunteers from behind. "Good thing nobody is asking for your opinion, Adina. I'm fine." I say as I pull the door of the fridge open. Surfing through the options available, I finally settled for two cupcakes and orange juice. A spike of sugar will definitely do me good right now. When I turn, Adina is still at the door. 'What is wrong with this woman, for god's sake?' "Do you want something, Adina?" I asked, now pissed at her constant display of sanctimonious care. Can't I be allowed to eat whatever junk I want to eat at least once in a fuckin while? "Ma'am, you can't eat those. You are going to get a

~Xyana~ The days gradually fade through. I don't get to see my mates like before. And when I do, it's either during breakfast, lunch, or dinner, or I run into them on my way out. Clifton is cold, doesn't talk to me, and offers clipped answers when I try to engage him in a conversation. Declan and Dion are not better but at least you would know that it is taking everything in them to give me the space Gaston thinks I need because recently, I'm beginning to wonder if the idea of keeping me away from my Mates is actually worth it. I feel lonely, especially once I'm back from the construction site. Luckily, Mona made it her job to always drop by to see and spend some time with me before heading home each day. Today, I'd just got back from the construction site when I saw Dion running a parameter check around the pack house with some of the men from the pack's control house. He's scrolling through a tablet and dishing out instructions. Pointing to several angles within the pack house

~Xyana~ For some reason unknown to me, I start by giving him a background rundown of my family and he listens attentively. When I'm done, he flashes a smile and turns the tip of his face cap behind. Then he says; "I know a lot about your family before now." I arched my brow questionably and he shrugged. "We just wanted to know if there's a family member we need to seek consent from before our marking ceremony." "There's none." I rush in. "I know that now." I then proceed to tell him the story about Juno. I repeat the things I told Declan. By the time I got to the end of the story and told him about my inability to shift for years until Alpha Kedar and also a clearer story about my rejection, I was actually struggling to keep my voice from breaking. I notice that he has taken a few steps back, away from me. He's staring at me like I'm an alien. Yet I don't let that distract me, I keep talking. He wedges his body on a nearby stool, squeezing the stool so hard that I feared he wou

~Xyana~"D, please." I plead in a whisper and watch Dion cave in."It's Amon, Clif 's wolf." He replies. "We are all worried about him. You see, Amon is special. He's powerful, a protector, a lover of family, and now you are his family. The truth is we're worried about the fact that you have three of us as your Mates. Amon is possessive. So, he might not be able to handle the multiple-mate situation very well. We saw it the other day in Declan's room. Worst still, Clifton's character doesn't help the situation at all." He takes a deep breath before he goes on. "We think Clif has to speak to you first and explain to you how special Amon is, and maybe if you accept him and he does the same, the rest of us can join in. So we're just waiting for Clif to get it going for all of us."I swallow hard as everything he says doesn't really make sense to me. "What do you mean when you said Clifton's Wolf is 'special'?" I ask, feeling more and more worried. "What is going on, Dion?".He shakes hi

~Xyana~ I did have the feeling that something was off about Clifton early enough. Especially from the day he overheard Juno in my head. It had been obvious but I just didn't want to think about it. Maybe that was stupid of me. After my heart-to-heart moment with Dion, my understanding of what I might be up against in respect to Clifton's Wolf became a bit clearer. Dion spent more time soothing me and reassuring me that he was never going to leave me. Maybe Juno said the truth, I'm just a bloody attention-seeker. I've been starved of attention that I'm willing to clutch to these men so hard. Goddess! If they reject me, I'll be alone with absolutely no one in my corner. When Dion got a mind-link from someone, I didn't need to be told that it was time to go back out there and face my reality. He held me in a hug for a very long time and kissed me over and over again before he finally let me go. My heart is so heavy when

~Xyana~ Mona comes to pick me up just as she promised. Today is my day off and I'm practically in the mood for all the mischief she has planned out for us. We head over to the garage that houses Dion's car and we take one of his cars, with Mona behind the wheels since I can't drive. I didn't go down for breakfast in the morning because I wasn't sure I had to strength to face Clifton or any of the Howling brothers at that. Oona would have made the atmosphere less awkward. But since she started her term paper, she left for school much earlier. So she eats before any of us. And with her schedule after school well planned by her nanny, I wasn't sure it was a good thing to disrupt any of that. At least until her papers are over. Since I have my own worries to take care of anyway. While Mona is driving us to the town center, I spot Declan walking down to the pack house, his body glistering under the scorching sun. "I need to

~Xyana~ Our car stops at a nice restaurant a moment later. "Wow!" I let out a breath when I see the beautiful building the restaurant is housed in. Gurreo-Valley is such a beautiful place and maybe the Alpha has a rule in place that prevents store owners from erecting shabby shop buildings because that might be the only reason I haven't seen the type of shops we have back at Black-haw pack. "Aren't there smaller-looking shops here in Gurreo-Valley?" I ask Mona. "Of course there are." She points to very beautiful shops in front. But that's not what I mean by small. "I mean, shops opened in old-looking buildings?" She shakes her head. "The Alpha makes sure the buildings are up to the architectural plan of the pack and he renovates them every five years. Might be lesser at times. Even smaller roadside stalls are regulated to pass certain set rules." "I've noticed," I reply, nodding my understanding.

~Xyana~ When we were done shopping, the trunk of our car wasn't enough to contain the shopping bags, so we had to move the ones I got for Mona to the back seat of the car. Once we get down from the car and the guards around the garage see the contents of the trunk, a couple of them get into action by helping out with moving them upstairs to my room. Mona is in a hurry to get back home after receiving a phone call from her brother. So I told one of the guards to take her home, and he did! 'Trying out my power as the Beta female.’ Oh wow! It is so late. We were even the last people to leave the 'Cleave Boutique' in the town center. I had no doubt they stayed open way past their closing time. But they had lots of fine stuff that it was so hard to actually choose. I made Mona get lots of nice stuff for herself, and she was super excited and appreciative. We bought a couple of outfits that we plan on twinning together wh
