Andrea’s POV
The 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 joining my pack. I was ready to take her in.” The Alpha explained as he took a step back from me.Fuck.These men. Couldn’t they have allowed me to leave my life in peace? They came all the way here to prevent him from taking me into his pack, and I wasn’t even sure if they had a good reason.Perhaps they thought they weren’t done tormenting me, so they decided to track me down and do it one last time.I hated them. I wished something worse than death upon them, because of the embarrassment they made me face today. They should just leave me alone.They have done enough. I wanted to stand up and yell at them to fuck off and let me live my life, but Lucas beat me to it.“Without a background check?” He made a low sound of disapproval, kissing his teeth as he took a step forward.He shifted back into his human form, then he turned his neck to face me. His eyes bore into mine, and his lips lift into a smirk. If only I could tell him how disgusted I was by his face.If only I could.“I don’t think I need your opinion on how I would take someone into my own pack,” the Alpha hissed. “What are the both of you doing here, and who is she to you?”“She is our mate. She ran away so she could join another pack.” Damon lied through his teeth.My eyes rounded up in disbelief. I was stunned to silence. This bastard. He didn’t just lie about me when I literally standing before him.The Alpha turned his neck to face me. I could see the allegation in his eyes. He believed him. Anything I was going to say to him again was not going to be relevant.My vocal cords forgot how to speak, and I felt like there was a boulder in my neck. I wanted to open my mouth and defend myself, but I didn’t even have the words to do so.I kept staring at Damon, my lips parted into a gape.“Why will you lie to me?” The Alpha asked.He wasn’t asking them. He was asking me. He believed that I would have the potential of lying to him when he didn’t ask my side of the story again.I disliked him. I disliked the twins standing before us. I hated men. I just wanted to be left alone but these twins always seem to find me to destroy every good thing I have in my life.“I am not lying,” I shook my head, even though talking about it didn’t matter. I was going to be out because I would be damned to join a pack where the Alpha was a freaking misogynist that would believe the word of men over mine.“She is. Don’t lie to him, Andrea. You have already been caught. Now come on, your mother is waiting for you. She wondered why you suddenly bolted away in the middle of the mating ceremony. Our mating ceremony.” Lucas came forward, then extended a hand to me.I wanted to break his hand. To twist it until he was crying as his bones broke and he started to beg me for mercy.There was no choice for me. It was either I followed him, or I stay back. I don’t think I have much interest in staying back any longer. If I stand up and bolt out of the office, then they were going to come for me again.I stood up to my feet, ignoring his outstretched hand. I slowly started to walk outside of the pack quarters, and the twins paced behind me.“Thanks for your help,” Lucas said to the Alpha.The Alpha made a little sound of agreement which I heard from afar.A low hiss escaped my lips as I headed out of the borders of the pack, none of the twins saying a word to me until we were outside in the woods and on our way back.“You know, Andrea. I really didn’t think you will have the balls to leave.” Damon started to speak, but Lucas stopped him.“Man. It’s enough.” He snapped.I could tell Damon didn’t like his brother shutting him up that much, but he didn’t say anything again afterward which was a relief.The rest of the silent trek home made me feel really uncomfortable. Many possible reasons were coursing through my head about why they came to get me, but none of them seemed to sense.“Maybe they want us.” Kira, my wolf, squealed.I rolled my eyes. No, they didn’t. The twins could never want me even if I was the last breathing girl standing.“We could get mated to these hot ass men. They’ve always made us feel hot, haven’t they?” She added.I gasped. I didn’t know if they could hear my wolf, so I quickly shut her up. When we reached our pack, I started to feel the pain again.The humiliation. The eyes that bore into me, and the looks of shock in people's eyes which I was sure had to be with why I was coming out of the woods with the men that rejected me.It felt embarrassing. I headed towards the palace because that was the only place I could be, since I was sure the mating ceremony was over.“Where is my mother?” I stopped abruptly, turning to face them.“She is in the palace. With our father.” Lucas replied respectfully.I wanted to chug the sweet tone he used on me down his neck until he choked while he was crawling and bawling for help.I’ve never thought it was possible to despise a person, or in my situation, two persons this way.I heard my wolf sigh dreamily. She still wasn’t over how we were mated tonight even though they rejected us.“Can you even imagine what we would have been doing by now if we got mated? Hottt.” She drooled.I never had an urge to cover her mouth with tape, because it would devastate me if they could hear her.It will be funny how I looked at them like they were the only pieces of garbage in this pure world while my wolf was feeling lust for them.“Did she report me missing? Is that the reason why the both of you came to get me?” I couldn’t help but ask.The twins turned to face each other. They looked irritated by the question, especially Damon who gritted his teeth.“Andrea. Turn around and head to the palace.” Lucas growled with authority laced in his tone.They weren’t going to tell me what to do. They could hit me here, but I wasn’t going until I satisfied my curiosity about why the hell they saved me when I was about to leave their crosshairs.It has been their wish for so long. Heck, I won’t be shocked if they actually have that as their birthday wishes.But still, they couldn’t stay away from me. Some minutes later and they entered a pack that wasn’t theirs and went as far as lying to get me to come back with them.“I’m not going to,” I shook my head, crossing my arms around my chest. “I need to know why. I want to.”“You stupid little fuck. I said turn your back and leave.” Damon snarled.I flinched, but I still stood my ground.“I’m going to drag you into the fucking palace myself if you don’t cooperate.”I ignored him.Lucas laughed. The humorless and dead kind of laugh that sent goosebumps rising on my skin.“Okay. You want to know why?” He asked.“Yes.” I nodded.“Your whore of a mother wants to marry my father. We are about to become fucking siblings.” He stated.No.The blood on my face drained, and my hands got clammy that second. He had to be lying.He just had to be.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
Eva encircled both of her hands around me, and I nearly choked on her perfume. It was her signature perfume that could be smelt miles away when she arrived somewhere. I always seemed to wonder how she managed to walk around with that much perfume, despite being a lycan with a heightened sense of smell.“How are you?” Her lips were plastered with a fake smile.I wasn’t going to entertain her. I thought she was going to come tomorrow, because I wasn’t ready to see her after all she did to me. I could remember how she was laughing at me vividly when I got rejected. But now because my mother got mated to the Alpha she suddenly wanted to become my friend.I scoffed. I was going to get back on all she did to me. She and her little minions, and the twins. I wasn’t going to forgive a thing they did. I couldn’t wait to repay all they did for me.But for now, I needed to act like a friend. I was going to destroy her life from within so when it was about time for us to graduate, she was going
“Wake up, Pumpkin.” Someone jerked me awake.I let out an inward groan as I raised my head to look at who it was that interrupted my sleep. I nearly rolled my eyes when my eyes set on Eva. How was she even here this early?I yawed my gaze to the clock, and I realized that I had overslept. This time, I didn’t stop the groan from escaping my lips. This wasn’t how I wanted to make an appearance in school.“Thanks for waking me up.” I dragged my body off the bed, blinking away the sleep in my eyes.“You are welcome. I’ll be coming up here to wake you up whenever I have to. That’s the fun of bringing neighbors, right?” She wiggled her brows.She lived in the pack house with her father. The palace was in the pack house, where people of the higher ranks stay. It also had accommodation for people that didn’t have homes to live in, but it is barely used because everyone preferred to stay home.The higher ranks didn’t seize to bully anyone they came across. It was one of the reasons why no one
After the twins were done eating, we headed out of the house. I could still hear my mother talking to me through the mind link, but I tried to block her out. She was trying to tell me how it wasn’t going to be so bad riding with the twins to school, even though she knew that it was going to turn out to be. “See you later kids.” The Alpha bid us farewell, and we headed out of the house to the garage where the cars are kept.The silence between us was heavy as Damon got into the driver’s seat, and Lucas got into the passenger’s seat. Lucas was always the one that drove them back to school, and Damon always drove them there.Bitterness settled in my neck when I remembered how I used to get dirty water splashed on me every day on my way back to school. It was either them, or Eva, or the other bullies in my school that had cars.I took a deep breath as I remembered why I was here today. I chose to get revenge, and even though it was way less scary when I imagined it in my head, I knew I j
Lucas’s POVI couldn’t believe my eyes the first time I set my eyes on Andrea when she came downstairs. I blinked twice, waiting for this to be a hallucination, and she would be back to wearing her old and tattered clothes that made her look like a beggar.A different Andrea sauntered into the dining room. Her clothes were simple. It was the way every other girl dressed in the pack, except for the Omegas. It was hard to admit that it fitted her, but fuck, as hell it did.It brought out her curves that I didn’t even notice due to the nature of her clothes before. I bit my lip as I felt my pants starting to tighten, and my cock hardened.Her hair was beautifully styled. She had long, thick hair that I was sure everyone would be jealous of. It was curled and now it rested on her shoulders, not like before when she always tied it up in a ponytail.She looked attractive, and I couldn’t deny it, but then I remembered who she was and it all went down the drain. I couldn’t get attracted to he
