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 that was laying on the bed.Lucas gritted his teeth. He had a strong urge to act on impulse and hurt him, but he held back. He didn’t even know if Andrea would want to be his mate yet, even though she didn’t have a choice.No one rejects the sons of the Alpha. They were the prize, and she was just a nobody Omega.“She is our mate. Andrea is our mate.”“What?” Damon turned to face him, disgusted by what he had just said.“Don’t tell me you didn’t smell it.”Damon scoffed. He had smelt it, but he tried to push it back to his head and convince himself that maybe she had just sprayed perfume.But her mother couldn’t afford it, so how could she have?The twins have always shared everything their entire lives. The only problem was Damon. He was the devil amongst them that always spoiled every plan they had. He would never agree to be mated to Andrea.He had always dreamt of getting mated to someone like a warrior’s daughter, or someone of the higher rank. He would rather stay single his entire life than have an Omega as his mate.“No, I didn’t smell it,” Damon lied. “She is a fucking used rug. Why would I want to be mated to an outcome of a dirty club one-night stand?”Lucas growled in response to his brother insulting his mate.“Goodness, don’t tell me you’re already starting to get protective of her.” Damon scolded, then let out a chortle.“We are getting mated to that girl. The bitterness in your heart is probably what is stopping you from feeling it.” Lucas hissed.The both of them have been told that they would have the same mate ever since they were young.“Have you seen that girl? Do you think she is ready to get mated?” Damon scoffed.“She will. Nobody could resist this.” Lucas smirked, flexing his thick muscles.His brother rolled his eyes. Lucas never failed to show off his gorgeous body, which had the women in his pack groveling at his feet.But he didn’t like any of them, neither did he attempt to sleep with them even though they practically threw themselves at him.He wanted to wait to have his virginity taken by his fated mate, unlike his brother that has probably fucked half of the town.Lucas believed sex was a sacred thing and should be done within the sacred mate bond.“She probably would prefer to get mated to a donkey than you.” Damon scoffed, trying to humble his brother, but that was an impossible mission.“Wait and see,” Lucas smirked.He was very confident about it. He had never found Andrea ogling at him, or she was just good at hiding it.Despite that, he knew that no woman could resist him. He was the most attractive man in the pack, and also the crown prince.Damon scoffed, shaking his head. He wondered what was going on in his head that he agreed to accept her as his mate. She was a werewolf Omega and they had been treating like trash their entire lives.They turned her into their punching bags and made her do inhumane dirty work, and she took it all. After all of that, his brother still expected her to get mated to them.She wasn’t daft. Even though she was an Omega, she still knew getting mated to them would be the biggest mistake she would make in her life.She hated them just as much as they hated her, or maybe even worse. Lucas was delusional, and Damon was ready to bring him back to reality even if it took the entire night.“Listen, Lucas. I want you to listen to me. This girl is not our slave anymore. Immediately she realizes the power she has over us, she’s going to take it for granted,” he started, but his brother scoffed and looked away.“We have tormented her our entire life. For the love of God, we starved this girl for days and hit her whenever we had the chance to. You think she would just wake up tomorrow and decide to mate with us?”Lucas shrugged, “She doesn’t have a choice.”“Yes, she does. She is eighteen so she can leave the damn pack to another one. I am telling you, mark my words. She is going to reject us and we would stand in front of the whole pack looking like fools.” He warned his brother.Lucas’s mouth quirked when he realized that there was a possibility that Andrea would reject them. After all they did to her, she probably wanted to get revenge.That was the perfect place for it. She could reduce them to a bunch of laughingstocks just like they had reduced her to it her entire life.“Fuck!” Lucas cursed, running his fingers through his hair as he thought of the scenario.An Omega that was treated like a turd by everyone in the pack rejecting the two men everyone desired. They would lose their status as the most popular boys and school, and would probably have it hung over their heads till their very last breaths.“But there is still a chance,” Lucas tried to defend, but his brother shot him a dirty look.“You are not going to be down bad for this girl. You are an Alpha, so you will get a second chance mate. We will drive her out of the pack after the rejection.” Damon finalized.Lucas thought about it for a while, weighing the pros and cons. He didn’t have all day and with his brother’s blazing gaze on him, he decided to just go ahead with what his brother proposed.He took a breath in before he nodded, “Okay, fine. Deal.”“Good,” Damon smirked. He knew he would rather die than get humiliated by a werewolf Omega.He hated the Omegas in his pack, because all they ever did was to cause havoc in the pack and weigh it down with responsibilities. If he was going to be the next Alpha, then he would be sure to wipe them out by selling out to other packs.At least that way, he would get something out of them instead of letting the pack feed them when they had nothing to do after the pack.They didn’t produce warriors or other jobs that benefited the pack. They were just a bunch of weaklings that would end up becoming the pack maids or guards.If Damon got the chance, the first person he would sell was Andrea. He hated her ever since he laid his eyes on her. She was weak, unlike the rest of his mates.He was glad he had convinced Lucas to reject and kick her out of the pack and in a few days, she would be gone forever. She would be out of his hair once and for all.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
Andrea’s POVIn the morning when I woke up, I looked out through the cracks of my windows that light was peeking through and sighed. I barely slept throughout the night because all I could think of was my new life.For the first time in my life, I was going to be alone and responsible for my life. I wasn’t going to do it knowing I had my mother to fall back to. I would be a full adult, making her own life decisions in this cruel world.I rolled off the bed and stood up to my feet then stretched, my bones making a satisfying crack. I had to start arranging my clothes into my bags before it was time for me to leave later.I headed towards the wardrobe and opened it up. I didn’t have many clothes, because most of them were torn and worn out. It was the courtesy of the twins who loved to tear my clothes and humiliate me for no apparent reason.Thinking of them alone brought my blood to a sizzling boil. I will finally be away from all of that. I couldn’t wait. I wished I had a way
Andrea’s POV After dinner, my mother dragged me back to our room. I expected her to be happy that I was staying back by instead, she looked worried. When we got inside, she banged the door behind us before she pulled me until we were close to the bed.“What was that?” She spoke out. “You really want to stay back, Andrea?” “Don’t you want me to?” I raised a brow in confusion about why she was even talking to me about this right now. I had a life to start as royalty here. It felt surreal. It would have been a different thing if the Alpha didn’t propose that I get the same treatment with them. But since he did, there was no way I was passing on this. Maybe sometime in the future I will leave but just not now.“Of course I did sweetheart. But you wanted a new life, and you’re staying back solely because of those boys. You are staying because you want to get revenge on them.” I didn’t even try to hide it, “Of course.” I nodded. “Baby. I don’t want you to be sucked into this bitterne
The look on Damon’s face was what I assumed death would look like when it was standing right in front of me, ready to take me with it. My limbs were shaking, knowing that he was going to hit me.He was going to hit me so hard my neck would break.“You sick little fuck. Are you crazy?” He bellowed, and I flinched.It was his fault. He shouldn’t have spoken to me about all the women he was shagging in the room that was going to be mine because I didn’t ask for that details. I certainly didn’t want to know. “I am sorry,” I apologized. I needed to get in and wash my body. The entire room was smelling of puke, which made me want to puke even more. Maybe it had to do with the fact that my body wasn’t used to eating this much in the morning.The only time I ate like this was by chance, or when I stole from them. Eating all of it now comfortably made me feel weird. Very weird.“If you puke on me again, you are going to see a very dark side of me.” He snarled, taking a step back from me. Th
