Becoming the Alpha's Pawn Chapter Twenty Eight
I audibly gasp as I walk into the sight of them. Like a cold shower, I feel the wave of shock, betrayal and hurt down on me all at once. Jealousy as sharp as a knife slices through my heart and in this moment, I've never wanted to rip another woman apart more. They pause mid action and leisurely, he straightens, the legs of the lady that were wrapped around his waist sliding down. She scurries off hurriedly and he turns to face me slowly. Seeing his face, my brows furrow in confusion.He's Draaven and yet, he isn't. His hair is the exact same shade, styled in the exact same fashion. But this person is a little paler and his eyebrows are tinted a little on the red side. His face is also hairless, lacking the well trimmed beard Draaven sports. Instead, there's just a reddish blond moustache, shielding a pair of lips thinner than my husband's. The eyes however, are the same. The build, the jawline, almost everything is the same. Who is this?"Adrian?". Someone says from behind me. Startl
Becoming the Alpha's Pawn Chapter Twenty Nine
And just like that, the day is here.As I take the first step onto the aisle, I'm aware of every pair of eyes in the room swinging around to face me. They were all already staring at the entrance before I even came in. All along, I had taken comfort in the fact that I'd have my mum by my side to walk the aisle with me. It wasn't until this morning that Trish had informed me that she wouldn't be doing that. According to her, it was indeed customary to have a parent walk you down the aisle but that wasn't the case for royal weddings, especially not one of a future Luna. You have to make that little journey on your own, a little symbolic action to show the people that you are not emotionally dependent or weak. Right now, I don't feel independent or strong.The air is filled with the slow, melancholic song the band is playing and I try to remember to move my feet in accordance to it. Standing there at the end of the aisle is him, my soon to be husband. His eyes are equally fixed on me as
Becoming the Alpha's Pawn Chapter Thirty
The evening ends on a festive note. Music, food and drinks…. everything is in excess and everyone seems to be happy. Or at least most people. I guess these people must have been pretty desperate for a Luna. Somehow, the mood of the night has gotten to me too, and I find myself smiling naturally and swaying to the music from my seat on the high table. After the ceremony, I had been led to a backroom where I'd been changed from the mighty ceremonial ball gown to the mermaid style dress that I'm to use for the after-party. Draaven and I had opened the dance floor and as we had taken the stage, my body leaning into his and his hand placed at the small of my back as we rocked to the music, for a minute there, it had felt real. Like this was a real wedding and this was what I wanted. But of course it isn't. And I had made sure not to dwell too much on that emotion. Afterwards, I had danced with my mum and Trish. Jade came for the wedding too….of course she came. I wonder why a part of me d

I jump so hard that the dress falls from my hand in a soft rustle. And there he is. He's leaning against the door frame, his legs crossed at the ankles casually as he takes in the sight of me. My heart thunders in my chest for many reasons. Why's he here? While this is sweet…..we are not really going to consummate anything tonight…..are we? Look around, my consciousness tells me. What man goes through all this effort if he doesn't have the intention to have sex? That doesn't make me feel any better. I clear my throat awkwardly and straighten. I've not even had the chance to get out of my party dress and breathe properly."Hello….". I call out lamely. I shouldn't have said that….I should have said something more witty."Do you need help?". What's he even talking about? Do I look like I need help?"No". I reply smartly. "I don't need any help thank you". I glance around the room and turn back to him. "You….you actually did all this?". He pushes from the door frame and makes his way furt
Becoming the Alpha's Pawn Chapter Thirty Two
The first thing I notice as I come down for the breakfast is that everyone is staring. The last time I felt like this was when I newly arrived here, when i stood out with my darker skin and hair. I still do, but I guess they are mostly used to it now. No one really stares like before….well, until this morning. As I come down the stairs, I strain my ears to listen in on what's being said but I only catch a few words."Left….night….". When the omegas sense my presence, they all seal shut, scurrying past me in glaring guilt. My eyebrows furrow in curiosity."What's everyone talking about?". I ask Edna as we make our way down the stairs. There's a brief moment of hesitation and it tells me everything I need to know. She knows about what's going on too."It's nothing you need to worry about, Luna".I halt in my steps and spin around to face her. "Tell me". She looks a little uncomfortable but finally she speaks."It's kinda going around that the….alpha didn't spend the night with you". My
Becoming the Alpha's Pawn Chapter Thirty Three
I head towards my mother's room, dreading the moment I'll open the door and what I'll find beyond it. As much as I think about it, Adrian has no reason to lie about this. I push the door to her room open but I'm stopped in my tracks as I make my way in. Her luggage is all packed up, the two boxes she had brought along ready to be wheeled away. Ever the perfectionist, she had also smoothed out the bed and folded the sheets orderly. She looks ready to leave….but she's not here.I hurry into the room, heading straight towards the bathroom where I expect her to be. But I'm surprised to see that she's not there either. Where could she have gone? Together with Edna, I make quick trips round the room as we search for her but she's nowhere to be found. Or wait…maybe she's at Jade's room. I bolt out the door and head down the passageway to Jade's room. I push the door open urgently."Fuck, can't you knock?". She scowls and snaps at me as I make my way in. She's still very disgruntled with me….
Becoming the Alpha's Pawn Chapter Thirty Four
I stand on the porch and watch as the car drives off, carting my mum and sister away. Things are not as they seem, something is going on with Draaven and my family and it sucks that I can't place a finger on it. But I'll take my time. If there's one thing I know for sure now, it's that I'm not crazy for my suspicions. I turn around and make my way in, Edna right behind me. “How has Trish been?”. I ask. I've not heard from her since the wedding. “She's fine, Luna”. “Let's go see her”. I make my way towards her quarters which is on the far, opposite side of the mansion. To be honest, I don't come to Trish’s quarters as often as I should and I feel a little bad about that. When I round the corner to her room, I drop a series of quick knocks on her door before making my way in. And there she is. She's standing with Nala and they look like they are having an intense conversation. When she sees me, she straightens, her face rearranging into a worn and tired smile. “Luna”. Nala bows to
Becoming the Alpha's Pawn Chapter Thirty Five
Much against my will, I decide to do something that I'll most probably regret. I invite Adrian to have a private dinner with me a few days later. At this point, I'm a hundred percent sure that there's something going on, bigger than I know. The only person I can think of who can help me with information no matter how little is Adrian Ventura. I walk into the gazebo where we'll be dining, Edna behind me. I've not seen or heard from Draaven since the last time I saw him and frankly, I don't care. I've been a fool. Everything has been a lie. I had been stupid to think that he cared about me even a little bit. It's obvious now that that's not the case. No man who had feelings for a woman would treat her family so dishonourably. “How was my message received?”. I ask Edna. Earlier on, I had sent her with a message to Draaven informing him that I wasn't going to be a Luna who just sat pretty. I want some work on my hands already. After the incident with Eva, once again I can't get her word
