Casmien's POV
"Babe, you love me right?" Kelly asked, drawing imaginary lines on my chest. I wrapped my hands on her waist and pulled her closer.
"Mm" I hummed. I've been with Kelly for two years but with no attraction. I like her but I don't love her. I dated her because I don't want to be overthrown as the Alpha. She knew this but she always hoped my feelings for her would change.
"Casmien". She called out.
"Yes".
"When are we going for a vacation? I want to spend time with you. I want to have fun outside this Estate". She whined.
"My hands are full. I'm busy".
"Then, make some time for me. I want to spend time with you but it seems like you don't want to spend some time with me."
"I do".
"Then prove it by making some time for me. Please, Casmien".
"Okay, I will". I said, sighing tiredly. A scent hit me hard almost immediately, like strawberry. I sniffed the scent in and it makes my body excited and in need.
"Is anything the matter?"
"What? No".
"Casmien, Brian brought a…."
"Wait here". I pulled her away from me and stood up abruptly. "Kelly, I will be back".
"But where are you going?" She asked curiously. I ignored her question and walked out of the room. The scent! My wolf felt really excited and pushed me further. I groaned and felt a strong, strange, sweet pull pulling me further. I walked further and the scent became stronger. In no minutes, I found myself in front of Brian's room.
"Mate! Mate!" My wolf shouted excitedly. Mate! I became more confused and excited. I pushed the door open and peeked in. A damsel was laying on Brian's bed. I closed the door behind me and took slow strides in. She's my Mate! Brian's arranged bride and crush is my Fated Mate. I've been searching for her for years and here she is. I found her eventually but in my twin's room and bed. Where has she been all this while? Why do we have to meet in these circumstances?
I have to mark her. I have to mark and mate with her before Brian's does. I can't lose her. I've wanted her for years so I can't lose her now. Never!
"Brian, I never heard you drive in". She said softly. I took off my clothes immediately and joined her in bed. The light is dimmed blue so it will be hard making out the different features I and Brian have. I felt her soft milky skin under me. I couldn't deny that it turned me on. I felt attraction, the attraction I had never felt for Kelly. The longing! The longing I had never felt for Kelly. A Mate bond!
I bit her neck and gave her a love bite. An hickey that filled her neck. That is the first step of claiming. She moaned out and I felt the need to claim her. To make her mine. To mate with her. To bond with her. And I did.
The door flung open and Brian walked in. Ellie stood up with a shock and pulled the duvet close to her. She looked confused and stared at me and Brian. Brian looked enraged after figuring out what we've done. He stared at me viciously.
"Casmien". He growled out while I jumped up and wore my shorts quickly.
"Casmien, what have you done?" He asks with an anger-toned face.
"What is happening?" Ellie asked not wanting to believe what just happened.
"She's my mate so I had to mate with her before you do." I said.
His eyes dropped disappointedly and he looked away from me. He knows about how I've been searching for my mate. And how I've always longed for her. I couldn't miss this opportunity. She's mine after all.
"You should have told me, Casmien." He blamed.
"I just knew." I snapped hoping to get away with this.
"Then you should have waited for me to arrive so you could tell me". He screamed out.
"Oh My God". Ellie said in muffled breaths. She picked her clothes and put them on immediately. She tried avoiding my gaze throughout which made my blood boil. Does she hate me now?
"She's my mate. I have the fucking right to claim her." I said with anger surging through my veins. I'm not angry because of what he said but for the fact that my mate is avoiding eye contact with me. I've always been hot tempered.
"When you know she is my crush and my arranged bride, you should have waited so we could talk it out".
"What's there to talk about? Do I have to seek permission from you before mating with her?"
"Yes, you have to". He screamed and fling a glass cup in my direction. I moved away quickly and it met the wall, shattering into pieces.
"Aaaahhhh". Ellie screamed out, obviously terrified.
"And you, shouldn't you have waited before mating with him". He said, directing his words to Ellie.
"Don't you dare blame her". I said through gritted teeth.
"What is happening? What is going on?" Kelly asked, rushing in immediately. Our noise must have attracted her. She stared at me and Ellie not understanding what was happening or maybe she understood but wanted to put it in denial.
"Your damn boyfriend slept with my girlfriend. You better hold him tight".
"She isn't yours, Brian. She is mine. She is my Mate. What the fuck don't you understand?" Kelly's face turned pale white at the sudden realization about what was really happening.
"Mate?" She called out. Silence ensued for a while before she made her way out of the room.
"Kelly?" I called out and ran after her. I have to explain things to her. I may not love her but I care about her. She is my girlfriend and best friend. She may have loved me but she knows my need to know my mate. I've always wanted my mate. Kelly doesn't deserve this. I hope she finds someone better than me.
"Kelly, please wait!" I called out as she locked the door.
"Please open the door. Let's talk things out". I could hear her muffled breaths and cries. Suddenly, she screamed out and started destroying things. Sounds of broken case and chair could be heard. That's Kelly's way of disagreeing with things.
She always prayed that I shouldn't encounter my mate while I always wanted to feel a mate bond. She thought when I know my nate, I would ignore and hate her but I won't. She is my best friend and I will always cherish her. I will always care and cherish her but I need my mate. I want my mate.
Ellie's POVI sat in my room looking dejected and sober. I poured out a drink for myself and kept gulping it down. It has been one week since that incident happened. I left the estate and stayed at the house Brian bought for me. I'm even ashamed to stay at what he bought for me. My love for him vanished the moment I knew my mate. The moment I gave my virginity to Casmien. I wanted to avoid Casmien. That was why I left the Pack Estate. And I wanted to avoid Kelly. She would be so heartbroken even though Casmien is not her mate, I heard she has fallen deeply for him. Brian wants me back at all costs. Even though Casmien had marked me, he still wanted me back. He has only two months to be engaged to a girl or else his Alpha position will be moved from him to Casmien. Casmien is an Alpha of the Northern Crescent Pack while Brian is an Alpha of the Southern Crescent Pack. If Brian fails to get engaged to a girl within two months, Casmien would rule both the Northern and Southern Packs an
Ellie's POV Oh my God! I'm pregnant and I'm pregnant for Casmien, he is the only person that has slept with me before and he took away my virginity. Since Brian discovered us in his room, and learnt that he had claimed me, he has refused to talk to me. The anger of what happened is still fresh and heavy in his heart, most of the time I feel so downcast because no one would talk to me, I would just be lonely and Hassie can't visit all the times, she has tedious work to do as my manager. I would sit on my bed in a different room, the one Brian gave me. He wouldn't let me continue to stay in his room, he says each time he meets me that he is disgusted by me. He can't stay in the same room with a woman who sold herself to another man whom she claims to be her mate. Even when he realizes that Casmien is my mate, he refuses to admit it. Right now I don't know what to do, I can't continue to live this lonely life, always staying indoors and having a miserable life. I have deep love for Cas
For a minute, I stare at the screen without motion or saying anything, my spirit is gone off in thoughts. I later realized myself when the horn of a car behind me woke me up to consciousness. For the period I've been stationed here, I didn't realize where I'm packing is an entrance to someone's apartment. I immediately drop the phone in front, start the car and move on, not minding stopping again until I reach where I'm going to. As I enter the expressway, all fears and thoughts about Casmien vanish like it was a puff of smoke blown by the wind. I become myself once again. The traffic today is one of the smoothest, very free and so in barely twenty minutes time, I arrive at my company situated in the center of town, that part of the Southern Crescent Pack which is considered as the business hub of the pack because of the many companies and stores as well as warehouses that are situated around. I pack the car at the garage. Hassie is already there to welcome me. I had told her a few
A loud cheer and applause emanates from the audience, most of them rise to their feet to clap and congratulate me but I keep my head high lest this makes my defense grow low. I smile in appreciation for the acknowledgement they are giving to me. On the podium are two seats which I sense are for me and Hassie. I don't think they should be there, I would rise in delivering my speech and once I'm done, I'm off the stage, there is no need for these seats which are positioned as if I'm here for an interview. Hassie steps up to the platform to use the mic. "Good morning ladies and gentlemen," she pauses to receive the response. "Today is a great day because today I will be introducing our honorable CEO to you. Help me welcome Her Majesty, Queen Hassie, the current winner of the Miss Wolf World. Let's welcome her to the podium to make her speech with a round of applause." The entire room vibrates with the sound of clapping hands, heavily falling like some heavy rain from the sky, beatin
Even after leaving the office after work in the afternoon, I still think of what to do. I know this is costly and a million and half dollars is no small money, it isn't something to waste but I wouldn't consider using it on this as a waste. The pageantry handed me a sum of thirty million dollars and since I got it I haven't really used it because I had nothing to spend on. Taking out one million, five hundred thousand dollars wouldn't make me poor, as long as I have kept the money without removing it to buy a single thing just because I didn't find that necessary, I can keep the money in my account without withdrawing to get anything that wouldn't be so important. My mind steadies on the road as I drive home. Hassie offered to help me but I ask her not to bother because there has been a ban on the habit of bringing in friends except family members. Alpha Casmien placed the ban two months ago but it wasn't in effect till last week where he asked his security to chase a man following
"Hassie, I'll call you later! " I hung up, placing the phone on flight mode so that she wouldn't be able to call again. I surely know she would and this would be a major source of distraction to me. I zoom off heading upwards from the junction. I paid attention to the sound, it wasn't that of multiple cars, how would Casmien send multiple police cars to come after me, am I a criminal? Since it's only one car, it will be difficult to catch me with the direction I'm going. An idea flashes in my mind. They might track you using your phone! This is very true, to counter this, I switch my phone off after turning off the location. I do leave my G****e location on incase there is anything wrong and I would be easily tracked though I'm not praying for this to happen to me, but in this case where I don't want to be tracked, I have to switch it off. To settle matters, I'll go to the Court for Mating and Social Responsibility, abbreviated as CMaSR, for the report of the case. Alpha Casmien no
Hassie agrees to come with me, I mean why wouldn't she? She is my best friend and manager and by rights is supposed to live close especially as I'm pregnant to support me on occasions where I need her. While thinking of this, I remember the fact that I'm pregnant for my mate and not for the love of my life before, who is Brian. I loved him with all my heart before now but I ended up getting pregnant for a beast. How is he going to cope with this? No man would want a woman who is pregnant for some other man, I recall he had already sent me out earlier on, I wasn't living with him again but in a separate room although in his wing. I chat for some time with Everly and Hassie awaiting his arrival. Once he picks me up and perhaps lays claim on me as being from his pack, Casmien can't do anything to me. This is what I'm waiting for, I will make sure I seek justice against both of them, they aren't above the law. Few minutes later, I hear a car pull through the gate into the facility, a
"Hey, stand still!" The men in green orders Casmien's men. I don't know who called them because I didn't see when Brian picked up his phone to make a call or did a message or perhaps it's the security network who are operating the CCTV cameras in Brian's wing of the estate that alerted this men, fully armed with sophisticated guns and jack knives stuck to the right side of their trousers. Since they are more than them, they have to surrender. I thought at this moment that Casmien's men were defeated and surrendered that he would call for more support but he doesn't. He knows that this would be war and no one might be able to end it once started. That's always the case with wars. The soldiers from my pack handcuff all the huge men who had attempted to beat Brian, I look into their midst and find those two who had taken pity on me when Casmien asked them to force me inside, their eyes collide with me during the process, I realize that they didn't join the league of those who had wanted
