Dove's POV Adalyn's mother.It was pretty obvious since she took the eyes, the hair, the lips, the eyebrows, the cheekbones... But the rest were her father's.Adalyn was Lexus' sister which meant her mother was his mother which means this is Lexus' mother and I'm totally freaking out right now.She immediately walked up to me, the rest following behind her when Lexus growled and stood in front of me, baring his teeth.That just made me feel all mushy and gushy inside."Get those away right now!" She said, glaring at him but he kept his stand, snarling at her, "Lexus Sebastian Gray, get those two baby teeth out of my sight!" She repeated and he immediately retracted them but still stood, protecting me from them.His eyes flashed gray and his teeth were elongating and moving back in."I just want to see her, I won't do anything to her." She said and moved past him to stand in front of me, "you're the mate?" She asked, looking at me with distaste.What the hell was everyone's problem wi
Paisley's POVLife's been terrible since the last two weeks.For one, Bryan broke up with me. Two, I got fired... Yes! I got fired for inappropriate behavior during work hours, really?! That was all that bitch could come up with and the next moment I was fired.I didn't really let Dove know, well since I didn't want her worried about me.Okay, let's go on with the list...Bryan attacked me, My apartment was vandalized! Yeah! Freaking run over! Like turned upside down.I almost saw heaven... Or hell. A frigging rifle was pressed against my forehead.Some jerk 'Alpha Derek' came looking for Dove and shot Steve's leg even as I had told that moron not to be impulsive, now he's on a wheelchair. I think that may have been why Dove ran away, like she pretty much ghosted me after an emotional call.I couldn't reach her, I had even gone to that company but she wasn't there. I payed her family a silent visit but she wasn't there. I asked Sophie and she said Dove had called her too and disappeare
Dove's POVIt's been two days in the pack and I've been in the room all through.Lexus hadn't slept in here with me, but he did come to check up on me, give me some food and leave immediately, I guess my discomfort and embarrassment was axiomatic. My right eye-lid has been twitching repeatedly nowadays and a sense of foreboding creeps into my heart, leaving me continuously paranoid with dread. I've been thinking about it nonstop, and I think Lexus may have noticed my weariness too… I should probably forget about this.Earlier today, I braced myself and asked Lexus if I could ‘get some air somewhere outside the room’, he’d agreed and it had me beaming with excitement until now.I had no idea how a pack looked, and I'm quite nervous but having Lexus be my guide made butterflies bubble in my belly.I walked out of the shower to see a set of clothes lying on the bed as usual, some underwear, a white button-down shirt, high-waisted blue jeans and white sneakers, with a necklace and some s
Dove's POV"I would like to speak to your manager", this karen here thinks she can mess with me.I smirked, "sure ma'am"I returned minutes later with the manager."What seems to be the problem ma'am?" She asked."I ordered some roasted pork loin with potatoes but after a taste, I realized it wasn't well cooked and I made a complaint but she says she can't return it and give me a new plate", she said."You call that a taste? You literally chowed down on everything", I replied."Is this how you reply to customers?""I'm sorry ma'am, we will give her a note of warning", she turned to me "Dove!""I'm sure you will do something about this?""Sorry ma'am but this isn't possible, if you wish to get another plate you have to order it then and pay for the two."She scoffed, "you've got to be kidding me", she got up and picked up her purse "I am definitely not returning here again.""I never asked you to and you have to pay for this before leaving" I said and she immediately turned to glare at
Lexus' POV"I think it's time for you to get married" my mom said and I rolled my eyes inwardly.Here we go again"But he hasn't found his mate yet" my sister replied"He's been looking for years, a decade I should say, your father and I can't rule forever, there are many unmated wolves who would be the perfect Luna for you-" she said but got interrupted by the old man as he walked over to have a seat next to her."You know he needs his mate to rule, she's the perfect one for the role" he said and I got up."Ivan just mind-linked me from the car, something's up at the office. I'm leaving" I said and got up without waiting for anyone or anything else and left.They all knew I was lying but they also knew better than to touch the topic with me again.I got into the backseat in the car and met with Ivan, we sat across each other."You're back so soon?" He asked, we were more like buds than boss and assistant."They were talking about my mate again" I simply replied and he chuckled knowin
Lexus' POVAdalyn raced up to the car and jumped into the back seat to meet with me.Shopping with her had been moved to the next day, currently today since she was still with Mark, her mate.I had cancelled the gathering with the wolves. I figured, fate would do the work.I was on my phone, discussing business with a few of my friends and business partners."Western Mall, please" Adalyn said to the driver, and he started driving.Then she turned to me and snatched my phone, "your eyes are always stuck on electrical appliances,"Adalyn is my older sister, she got ahead of me with four years but she still acted like a teenage girl even as she'd already given me a ten-year-old adorable niece. who looks like her bratty fatherYes, she'd met her mate and already birthed a pup, he was the Alpha of the Venom Pack."Why didn't you ask your mate to take you shopping?" I asked her and her eyes turned all lovey-dovey at the thought of him."Mark has things to do, I don't want to bug him" she r
3rd Person's POV"Come on! You're coming with me! Right now!! Into the mall!!" Adalyn screamed using the Alpha authority in her voice to try to move him but his uninterested eyes turned over to her."No!" He replied."You know, Mark and I are going on vacation for a month and I don't think I'm returning to the pack until maybe the following year" she said and it hit him, while she smirked knowingly.Although, he wasn't not really a fan of fun and huggy-wuggy stuff, he really loved my family. Adalyn had left for the Venom Pack to be with her mate for 10 years and she only came for a week or two each year, this was the only period she was coming this year and she knew he would want to be with her.His lips formed a thin line and he walked into the mall with her in front.~~~Dove POVI and Sophia got down from the car and headed for the mall until we spotted a Rolls-Royce, I didn't even know what model it was but it looked amazing."Oh my God! Who the hell would leave something like thi
Lexus' POVHe walked in and minutes later Adalyn headed to the makeup section and held some red lipsticks in her hand asking which type of red she should put on first."Aren't they all red?""No! Hayaya, men, this is wine red, this is crimson red, this is light red... So which should I put on, which would look good on me?" She asked and he just raised a brow and picked up his phone, she sighed and grabbed it again."Today is about me" she said and he rolled his eyes when she picked up one and put on her lips, "does this look good?" He absentmindedly nodded and she turned to the mirror, "definitely not"Why did she ask me then?She turned around, "I'm taking this one and another pink, some gloss..." She went on and on and stuffed all those into her shopping cart and she went to another stack."I need some eyeliners...""I need some foundation...""I need some blush...""I need some contour...""I need some mascara...""I need some glitter..."He was getting a headache already until she
