(Nikita's P.O.V.)
Silence is the only thing you can hear in the limousine where Alpha Lucia and I are seated right now. There was a fair distance between us, but my mother didn't care about my rebellion. She knew that my defiance wouldn't change anything. Like all alphas, she didn't like people disrespecting her. And as a woman, she had to be even tougher than men in this aspect to make sure others didn't overlook her. She used her toughness perfectly on me before I turned 14 and became a wolf. I was always groomed as her successor and never had the chance to truly enjoy motherly love. I was always beaten, with wounds all over my body. But when I was confirmed as an omega at the age of 14, I was kicked out of the training grounds.
Like all omegas, I rarely saw their alphas, which was one of the reasons why I grew distant from her. But I often heard of her bravery in the pack, how she showed her strength and courage in battles with rogues. I knew that people in the pack greatly respected her.
However, when I didn't inherit everything from her, their hatred was vented onto me. They pitied alpha Lucia for having me as her daughter.
"Today is the succession ceremony for the new alpha of the Blue Moon Pack. I don't want you to embarrass me, understood?" Alpha looked ahead and said coldly.
I clenched my fists, wishing I could break the window! Succession ceremony? Why do I have to participate? I'm just a shameful omega! Although I didn't want to, I was still alpha's daughter! I began to hate being her daughter because it made me unable to refuse the responsibility that was bound to me! I couldn't watch my pack being destroyed in front of me!
The Blue Moon Pack required alphas and their unmarried daughters to attend the ceremony, and no one dared to ignore the power of the Blue Moon Pack. They needed to increase the probability of the new alpha finding a mate, and we had to let him wander his lustful eyes over us like we were objects.
Thinking of this made me feel sick.
"Maybe our mates are different from other men, and they will truly respect women," my wolf Tala comforted me.
I rolled my eyes in my mind. "Unless their penises turn into vaginas," I swore they could never have empathy.
When I felt suffocated and about to be swallowed up, the car finally arrived at the banquet venue. I was the first to get out of the car, forcefully slamming the door shut. I heard my mother's teeth grinding. "Tala! You wouldn't dare!"
But I didn't care! I'd rather die in alpha Lucia's hands than be chosen like a commodity.
My eyes landed directly at the three people waiting by the entrance to receive the guests. I locked my eyes to the tall man in the middle.
He's wearing a black suit that highlights his good built. I wasn't able to control myself from staring at his godlike face. He had the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. His lashes were so thick for a man, and his lips were just pure perfection. I wanted to touch the tip of his tall nose.
My brows slightly furrowed when he turned his head to look at me.
Our eyes met.
Those pair of gray eyes are enchanting me.
I felt butterflies when he suddenly moved his lips to a beautiful smile.
What the hell is happening to me?!
I avoided his gaze, collecting myself together, when a whiff of wind blew my face together with his scent.
"Mate..." my wolf mumbled.
Mate? When I tried to confirm the scent of my mate, I found that it had disappeared, there was nothing there.
My body felt a sharp pain, this is the instinct of the bond, like how you feel pain when you break a rib, it is a problem that we cannot avoid.
**********
(Trojan's P.O.V.)
I smiled at the people coming to me to shake my hand. I swear, I've been giving them the same face, and it looks like no one hasn't realized yet that it's fake.
Today is my succession ceremony, a special day, as what my Mother claims it to be. I'm not a party person, and I hate entertaining people. Nevertheless, I will not argue with what my mother said because today is a chance for me to find my mate.
Everyone knows me as the perfect heir of the Blue Moon Pack. I'm strong, gentleman, and kind ever since I was a child. I'm everything that is good, and so that's why they called me the flawless Trojan.
You can say I'm flaunting, but really, I'm just telling the truth. They say that the girl who would be selected by the Moon Goddess as my mate will be the luckiest Luna.
But I think I'm the lucky one...
"You look spectacular, Trojan."
I smiled at the man who just gave me praise. I shook his hand.
"You must be thanking all the Gods and Goddesses to have him as your son," he told my mother. I glanced at her. She's smiling proudly. They exchanged a few words more, and I didn't bother joining because I'm already exhausted.
I glanced at the parking lot again. It's almost the end of the waiting time. We will enter indoors very soon. Where is Alpha Lucia? Where is her daughter?
The wait is making me anxious. I wonder if all the compliments I received about my look tonight were true. I want to look my best when she sees me.
I paused when I saw a familiar car driving to the parking lot. I can't be wrong. It's Alpha Lucia's limousine.
I restrained myself from approaching the car, and opening the door myself. I can't wait to see her daughter. My heart is beating so fast, and I think it's about to explode.
I stared at the car door, waiting for her to step out. Soon after, the door opened, and the most beautiful girl I've seen came out.
I felt my whole world stopped, and everything just disappeared. The only think I could see was her.
Her beauty.
She looks astonishing in her vermillion colored dress. Her long straight hair dances to the blew of the wind, making way to her angelic yet alluring face. I felt a strong bang in my heart when our eyes met. She has beautiful green eyes. Her lips were so plump and pink like they were inviting me. Her cheeks are rosy red; I want to touch them.
She looks so beautifully fragile for this world, I'm afraid I'd break her with the slightest touch.
"She's our mate..." Lupus mumbled inside my head.
I smiled, my wait did not disappoint me. Although Nikita never knew of my existence, I was certain that she must be my mate.
(Nikita's P.O.V.)The man in black suit's stares made me uncomfortable. I think he recognized my scent just like how I recognize his smell. He's been giving me "that" look, and I can't help it, but fall in his beautiful gray eyes.This is not good according to my non-submissive self.I put my hair in front of my shoulders to cover my scent. Alpha Lucia immediately noticed it, and turned her head to look at me. I pretended to not notice her even though I could really see her staring at me in the corners of my eyes. She would have scolded me already if it weren't for the people standing by the door waiting for us. Mother can't do anything to me in public. She would only discipline me in private.I heard her small sigh before finally turning away, and walking towards the three people waiting for us. I silently followed her from behind.A beautiful woman warmly greeted us. She hugged Mother and me, kissing us both on the cheeks, while the old man put his hand on the top of my head as a bl
(Nikita's P.O.V.)I looked at the bracelet he was showing to me with enlarged eyes. It's my bracelet that mysteriously disappeared some time ago in the battleground. How did he get his hands into my stuff?I've been wearing that since I was a child, and I treasure it a lot. Because this was left to me by my father! I suffered for a long time because I lost it, and it's the only connection I have with my father. My mother rarely talks about my father, and everyone in the pack is forbidden from talking about him. That's the reason for my pain.There's no way he can have that unless he stole it.Without hesitation, I loudly questioned him in the face, not caring about the presence of my mother and his parents."WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?!" I growled. . "DID YOU STEAL THAT FROM ME?!""Do you think so?" He gave a perfect fake smile, and I wanted to punch him in the face, but I knew I couldn't. I could only stare at him angrily."You better give it back to me, or I'm not sure how I will ruin y
(Nikita's P.O.V.)I went back to the venue and left Beta Poppy shortly after. I kind of regret raising my voice at her. I knew that she only wanted to comfort me and that she was just following orders. I shouldn't have let my temper get the best of me.I'm just a little worried that Alpha Trojan will announce me as his mate later. How should I react to that?I don't want to hear it, and I might lose my temper and attack him on the spot."Nikita..." Alpha Lucia called me in a small but stern voice. I forced myself to look at her in spite of the feeling of sulking I have towards her. "I want you to watch the ceremony carefully." She gave me a commanding look. I nodded my head in a yielding manner.It looks like I'm going to be forced to watch the man I hate speaking in front of me.I calmed myself and looked at the stage."Thank you for coming, everyone. I appreciate each and every one of you for being present at my son's oath-taking ceremony," Alpha Leon started his opening message. I
(Nikita's P.O.V.)I sat in the backseat of the limousine, watching the view from the window. In front of me is Alpha Lucia, who's angry right now. She hasn't looked at me since Alpha Trojan's announcement on stage about his mate relationship status.The other part of me wants to celebrate what he did because that's what I wanted. I didn't want him to announce our mate relationship straight away. I was treated with a lot of injustice as an omega, and everyone in the pack thought I didn't earn my respect through my strength.Rather, it was due to the fact that my mother was an alpha.If I am once again declared to be the destined mate of an alpha, imagine how I could abandon the chains that these identities have brought me.My intention is to be seen by all as bringing an aura of my own and not relying on my mate to win the crown.I'm pretty sure that's not what I want.That's why I looked at him straight in the eyes earlier, unintentionally begging him to just not say anything about it
(Nikita's P.O.V.)A week has passed since I joined the Blue Moon Pack's training program. When my mate Trojan announced the program, I honestly had expectations within me; it was truly a great program; no one in werewolf history had ever done this before.The breeding population of werewolves is decreasing year by year; this is because many of them have a mate who is not in their pack. Just like my mate would surprisingly be alpha of the Blue Moon pack, if I had not attended Trojan's ordination ceremony, I would never have found my mate.So Trojan's foresight is to be recognized and appreciated.But with the good side of everything, there is inevitably a bad side as well. Unequal treatment due to rank is encountered in any community, and here is no exception.I was an Omega, but I did not respond to the bullying with silence, which made mine stand out, and my locker was always full of surprises.I stood in front of my locker, took a deep breath, and when I pulled open the door after c
(Nikita's P.O.V.)As I was about to lunge toward her, the class bell rang."I won't let you off the hook next time." She dropped the words and ran out in a mess.I spent the entire morning class wandering, and thankfully I didn't miss much. I couldn't call it a class because the trainer didn't really do anything aside from giving us his motivational speeches that were out of touch with reality.It was lunchtime, and I went to the canteen. The cafeteria here is buffet style, and since I don't have friends for obvious reasons, I had to eat alone, which is not really a problem, by the way. I like my peace.The food here isn't really that bad, but if you don't like meatballs that look like dog food, then I wouldn't recommend you go to this school, especially if you're an Omega like me. They serve different foods depending on your rank.Of course, the Alphas get to eat premium dishes like steak. The same goes for Betas, who get to eat real meat while Omegas suffer from these meatballs that
(Nikita's P.O.V.)I didn't want my weakness to be seen by my mate.Yes, the man who came was my mate, Alpha Trojan, who was still wearing a premium cut suit, his toned pecs still grabbing me even though they were hidden under the black shirt.My body still hurt and I tried to stand up, but I had no strength at the moment."Trojan! Why are you here?" Clara immediately stuck to Trojan like a whore, Tala let out a disapproving roar, but Trojan didn't push her away as we were expecting, instead he pets her on her head.My heart felt the sting, how could he be close to another woman in front of his mate?"What's going on here?" Trojan didn't answer Clara's question, his eyes looked at me without any enthusiasm for the mate, he was calm, as if he didn't know me."It's nothing Trojan, it's chaos making Omega and we're teaching her the rules," Clara said ahead of me.I remained silent, even though I didn't want him to claim me as his mate, it didn't mean he could help others ignore me. I was
(Trojan's P.O.V.)I watched my partner leave sadly wounded and my heart ached, especially when I saw the wounds on her body, how dare Clara? But compared to that, the look in Nikita's eyes as she tried to deny me made my heart ache even more.I saw the look in her eyes that avoided me, the Luna that all she-wolves want to be as long as they haven't mated yet, why? She was so disgusted with me.But even then, I was still worried for her and I told everyone there could be no more violence or they would be punished no matter what the family behind her was."Clara, how dare she?" My wolf Lupus said angrily, his paws about to appear in my face, but I stopped him.I knew for sure that our partners would not intentionally create chaos. Clara grew up as an arrogant girl. She thinks she's a good actress and she wants to be my Luna, but before even when I didn't find my own Luna, I refused any overtures from her, but I wouldn't have embarrassed her. Her brother is still my beta...And my visit
