LAVENDER’S POV
The Future Luna? I froze. I stared at her, unable to hide the shock on my face. Wasn’t Luna meant to be his wife? I was his wife, so how was she the future Luna? I wanted to ask, but the words failed to come out. I did not want to believe that it was true. Caramel would not do this to me, would he? I thought he loved me.
Rose noticed my shocked expression and was seething with joy from it. She turned to the maid that had wanted to serve my meal. “Come serve me,” she instructed.
I got out of my daze, but I still could not speak for a couple of minutes. Rose loved seeing me that way. Once the maid was done serving her, she returned to my side. “Should I serve you, Your-”
I raised my hand, stopping the maid from speaking further. “I’ll pass on breakfast,” I told her, then rose to my feet.
I turned around to leave, when Rose scoffed. &ldqu
LAVENDER’S POVRose’s heels clapped on the marble floor as she rushed towards Caramel with her hands spread for a hug. The moment she got close to Caramel, she wrapped her hand around his neck and pulled him close. This action made me fold my hand into a fist. My stomach was hurting at this point, so I could not leave. I gestured for a maid to serve me, and she quickly did that while Rose spoke to Caramel.“Oh, I’ve missed you, Caramel,” she said.She calls him by his real name, too. There is no way her words were not true. “You didn’t tell me you were coming,” Caramel said.Rose giggled and replied, “Oh, I just wanted to surprise you. Mum said it would be perfect,” she stated as they took a seat.“How is she?” Caramel asked.“Oh, she is fine. She was glad I was back in the pack,” Rose kept smiling like a fool
ALPHA CARAMEL’S POVI tried to remain calm and not show Lavender that I was upset with what she had told me. Yes, Rose and I were meant to get married, but I strictly told my mother that I would not marry her. She was my best friend, but after my mother fed her some lies about me getting married to her, she became unbearable.I could not stand her constant touches and advances towards me. What made it ten times worse was when she decided to tell everyone she came across that she was the future Luna of the pack, even though she was not my wife yet. I loved her, but only as a friend and nothing intimate. I stated this clearly when I had enough.She even left the pack for another country after that incident, claiming she needed some space to think. I thought that would be the end and I would not need to explain anything to her again, but I was mistaken. She dared to tell Lavender that she was the future Luna, and just whe
LAVENDER’S POVI sat in front of the mirror as the maids helped with my hair and makeup. My heart was thudding in my chest as I thought about what Caramel’s mother would think of me the moment she saw me. Would she say I was not enough for her son because I was human?I have only been here a few days, and I really wanted to be accepted as one of their own. No matter how much I tried to think that she might accept me without judging me, I was still filled with fear. Tristan had told me there was nothing to worry about, but he said that because it was his mother.I was not her child. I was her son’s wife, and I needed to be perfect for him in her eyes. From stories that I’ve been told about mother-in-law, it will be hard to make her like me.“What is she like?” I asked the maids.“Alpha Caramel’s mother?” Mitchel asked, and I nodded, staring at her thr
LAVENDER’S POVIt was a new feeling for me, and I thought I would never feel this way for him, but I proved myself wrong. Everything about him had a way of fascinating me and making me feel better. I didn’t even mind that he was a werewolf. He was different from the myths that they were dangerous.Caramel was not dangerous. I smiled as he held my hand tighter. We slowly descended the stairs with Caramel’s hand clinging to mine. He looked gentle as he helped me down the stairs. We headed slowly towards the living area, and from the door, I spotted her sitting graciously on the couch with her eyes on the television.Once we got closer, she turned to us with a bright smile on her face. “Caramel,” she called with an angelic voice as she stood up.Caramel let go of my hand and hugged her. She hummed with joy before placing a little kiss on his cheeks, then let go of him. From the look of it, I could tell that they were close to each other. There was a look of admiration in her eyes as she
ALPHA CARAMEL’S POVI knew Mum was only being herself when she acted that way towards Lavender. It was her usual tactic. I have never known why she does that or why she saw the need to always do it, but the pattern was she did it when she was meeting someone new, no matter the person’s position or status in society.My wild guess is to know how they react, but I never found it interesting to ask. I tried concentrating on my work after getting into my study room, but I knew Lavender did not want me to leave. However, I knew Mum would not push her too much.No matter how strict my mother was on the outside, she was soft and maybe a little over the top sometimes, but she knew how to control it. I flipped through the pages of the document I held. It was for the people who wanted to come into the pack.Each of them had something they wanted to do, but I was not comfortable letting anyone come into the pack just like that. I was trying to not make the mistake I made twenty years ago. Now th
ALPHA CARAMEL’S POVI stared at Mum’s back as she left my study. I hated when she acted like this. She was a seer during the time of my father, but it was passed down to someone else after she retired. However, I knew she still had her senses, which were quite sharp. It was good mostly when I needed it, but then there was a problem. The problem was that she never explained what she meant.I do not know if that was how it worked, but I hated it. It makes one question things that he or she is not meant to question. Everyone asks for clarity, but she never gives them that until the last minute, which can be frustrating most of the time.I loved her, but I hated the secretive or unclear nature of her words sometimes. She certainly did not mean that there was something wrong with Lavender literally, right? I questioned myself. I shook my head at that. This was not the time for this.I would not question tha
LAVENDER’S POVCaramel was so unpredictable. I could never guess what was going on in that head of his. I wrapped my hand around his neck as he carried me to the table. All eyes were on us, and it only made me feel ten times more shy than I already was.Just as he was about to help me to my seat, he whispered, “You are my wife, so you get princess treatment.”I smiled as he went to his seat. He signalled for us to be served, and in no time, we were. I could not stop staring at him as I placed each spoonful in my mouth. His question replayed in my head, which made me smile. I loved looking at his eyes when he was not looking.It was less intimidating, and I did not have to show him how much those green eyes of his had so much effect on me. Although it was intimidating, I could still feel the gentleness in them when he looked at me. That was what I loved about him. That was what pushed me closer to
Alpha Caramel’s POVI was at the training site, watching each boy as they slowly improved in the new areas they had been assigned after passing the last. With my hands behind my back, I scrutinized each boy carefully. One thing I valued was perfection when it came to fighting and learning how to fight.There is only room for a few mistakes, and there is only one place where mistakes can be tolerated during training. However, we need to prevent those too, to avoid them on the battlefield. I spent most of my morning here until I needed to leave for the mansion for a meeting with the sentinels and the commander of the soldiers.On my arrival, the sentinels were waiting for me. Once I stepped into the room, they rose to their feet as a sign of respect. After taking my seat, I gestured for them to sit before we quickly got down to business.Most of our discussion involved the protection of the pack from rogues and humans who seek to exploit wolves for their selfish reasons. Few humans know
