Later in the evening, there were cheers coming from everywhere. Most of the pack members were there, cheering on for the person that was going to be the next strongest leader of the pack. Most of the people were cheering for Lucas, because he was the better twin. He was the nice twin while Damon was a jerk to almost every living thing that passed by him. Damon smirked as he put on his combat clothes, staring at himself in the mirror. To his side, Octavia stood there. She was cheering him on as she had passed the powers to him. If something happens to him, then she was going to be hurt by that too. It might even result in her death. But Octavia was too confident in her abilities that she was willing to risk it all. “You’re going to go in there and make me proud, Damon.” She nudged him. “Oh, don’t worry about that. I will crush him and then, I will have it all. Just like it is supposed to be.” He adjusted the last bit of his clothing before he turned around to face his sister. “He’s
I watched the clock as it struck midnight. I was eighteen. I waited for the excitement to settle in but I didn’t feel a thing. There was nothing to be happy about. My life wasn’t going to magically change because I was eighteen. It made me even more depressed because I knew I was going to be rejected by whoever my mate was when the time for my mating ceremony came, which would be soon.I was the laughing stock of the pack, so nobody would want to be mated with me. I turned my neck to the other side of the bed and glanced at my mother that was sleeping on the other side of the bed.She looked peaceful as she slept. I didn’t know how she was going to react when I tell her that I was going to leave the pack. I’m not staying back. If I get mated to someone and they accept me, then I will stay back and live with them. If not, then I was going to leave the pack to the city. I've always wanted to continue my education after I graduate. I wanted to start a new life somewhere no one would
Third person’s POV“Did you notice that or was it just me?” Lucas blurted immediately he was sure Andrea’s footsteps had faded down to the third floor, and she wouldn’t be able to hear their conversations.She smelled unusual to him today. She smelt like roses and honey, which was the alluring scent he had ever perceived into his system. Lucas immediately knew that she was his mate. The two of them turned eighteen six months back. They had expected to get their mates since then because usually, they would get the scent immediately after turning eighteen but they didn’t.Damon didn’t care that much, but Lucas did because he was going to be the Alpha. When she came into the room, he almost didn’t believe it was true. He tried to deny it, but was sure when his brother insulted her mother and he saw the hurt in her eyes, then had the strong urge to stand up and knock his brother’s teeth off.“What did you notice, Lucas? Her tits are getting bigger?” Damon scoffed, picking up the book th
Andrea’s POV “You look beautiful, my dear.” My mother smiled, watching me as I twirled around in the long black dress she gifted me for my birthday.I liked it. It was easily one of the best clothes I’ve ever owned, but the trepidation and dread coursing through my veins didn’t allow me to feel happy. My chest felt empty and my hands have been shaking throughout the day. How would I contain the pain in my chest when I get rejected by my mate?On a normal basis, Omegas are usually mated to Alphas or people from a higher rank. Some of them get rejected if they are not up to their mate’s taste. It rarely happens but I know with me, it would.“Thanks, mum.” I sighed, sitting down at the edge of the bed.She noticed the tense look on my face and the erratic beating of my heart, so she leaned down and placed an assuring hand on my shoulder.“Baby, you don’t need to worry. The day would go perfectly for you.” She patted me, then leaned forward and placed a lingering kiss on my forehead.“N
Andrea’s POVThe guards at the border of the pack were scanty. I didn’t even bother going back to the pack house to collect my clothes because I knew my mother would meet me there.When I got to the border of the pack, I started to shift. I looked up at the moon. It was the full moon today, which meant that I could shift without breaking the bones in my body.I removed my clothes on the way and tied them around my neck, knowing I would need them later when I shifted back. The woods were cold and in case I needed to spend the night there, I don’t sleep naked. My wolf, Kira, started to howl unnecessarily. I could tell she was hurt by the pain of being rejected by two people at the same time. But if she continued, my mother could track me down.I didn’t want her to know where I went.“Shut up, Kira.” I hissed, as my body started to freely rush through the woods, just as I passed the pack’s border.Most of the pack guards were in the pack hall where the mating ceremony was going on. Even
Third person’s POV After the mating ceremony was over, the Alpha king was filled with rage. He had never been angry towards his sons like he was this way since their mother left. Ever since she left them to chase her career in another city, living him in the most excruciating pain he had ever felt in his life which was due to him getting separated from his mate, he put his all into raising his children the proper way.But tonight, they embarrassed him. They proved to be mannerless in front of the whole pack and disgraced a woman. That was the one of the things he frowned heavily upon. What annoyed him the most was that the lady was no one other than the daughter of the woman he loved. Alpha Damien had always had a crush on Sierra Coleman, who was Andrea’s mother. When she got pregnant and banished from the pack, he was heartbroken because he planned on divorcing his already pregnant wife for her. His wife was not a good woman. She was his mate too, but she cheated on him at every
Andrea’s POVThe twins. They were right in front of me, and were stopping me from joining another pack. For fuck’s sake, isn’t it what they wanted? Why were they now trying to stop me from joining the pack?They were so confusing.But I didn’t want to stay back to hear what they came here to say. All that I knew was that I was seconds away from joining this pack, and no one could stop me.“Let’s go ahead with it, my Alpha,” I said to him.His blood was dripping down as he watched between me and the lycan men that were standing at the threshold of his office, not knowing whose words to take.“This is an Omega from my pack,” Lucas started as he shifted back to his human form.I watched as his bones crack, forming back into his usual human shape. I wondered what it would be like if I could shift whenever I wanted.It would be so nice, and I won’t have to go through all of the pain werewolves go through before they shifted, if it wasn’t the full moon.“She came here, with the request of jo
Andrea’s POVI felt an incredible amount of rage course through my veins like lava. It felt like betrayal. My mother made them bring me back here because she wanted to get mated to the Alpha. Maybe she had forgotten all the hell I went through because of the royal family. Maybe she had forgotten how they had banished us because she made one mistake in her teenage years.They were not our people and they sure as hell didn’t love us. Or maybe she had forgotten that they were lycans and we were just the low Omega werewolves that weren’t even citizens of the pack because we were refugees.Albeit that, she still wanted to get mated to the king. My chest tightened, because of how selfish my mother was. How could she do this to me?I trotted back to the palace to face her. There were tears in my eyes from all that was happening to today. This was the birthday that was supposed to be the best in my life as it was going to introduce me to the life of adulthood, yet it is just filled with pain
