"You'll look stunning in red.""Don't you think blue will do?""With a touch of it at the seam"I sat back and stared into the mirror trusting my maid on her judgement, she beamed and ruffled through the pile of dresses she had brought in searching for the particular one that caught her attention earlier."Here, the red dress. I'm sure the alpha won't be able to take his eyes off you when he sees you in it."I looked to the side so she wouldn't see how hard I was blushing but I suddenly remembered. "Is that going to fit? You know..." I gestured solemnly to my bulge, a result of the countless love we made.I was only a few months gone but my belly was protruding sharply my favorite dresses no longer fit. Dimitri gave me no opportunity to sulk, he constantly reminded me how beautiful I was especially now that I was carrying his child. He made sure to shower my belly with kisses and have a long conversation with the foetus. It was funny yet adorable."I informed the tailor of your new si
Alison Who could have known, I thought, watching from the sidelines, at the very back of the crowd, as they cheered for the Alpha’s son and his mate that kissed under the canopy of the large tree in the middle of the compound. Their happiness didn't take away from the feeling I had within me, the hopelessness, the pain, the abject terror of being the only one who wasn't happy in this joyful event. The Alpha, heir of the Grey Crescent Pack, my long time crush Logan… and my best friend Selene who turned out to be his mate. And to make this funnier, I wasn't even informed about this until I heard about it in a pack meeting only less than a week ago. Looking at their happiness I could only be filled with bitter resentment. Selene’s mother, a beautiful woman for her age, was smiling from ear to ear and congratulating the lovely couple, and the Alpha was patting his son on the back as well. What a lovely union of families. Was it just me, or everything seemed too frustrating to look at
The feeling of his hand around my waist was another thing I couldn't explain. He is a stranger I just met a few minutes ago, I shouldn't be feeling this comfortable around him, right? I shouldn't bother who or what he is, I shouldn't care about this dance after this night. But here I am, finding every thing about him quite interesting.I was going to fall a million times, but all thanks to him, his hold was way too strong for me to slip off his grip. He held me like any Alpha would hold onto their mate, but at this moment, I wasn't much interested in that. Watching my crush choose my best friend right before my eyes was the only thing that mattered now."So tell me, Allison, how did your day go?" He asked.I chuckled softly with a scoff which accompanied. "My day… my day was fine, but eventually, it hit ruined." I said drunk."Wanna talk to me about it, huh?"I raised my gaze at him, smiling halfway like what he had said was funny. I was actually smiling at the fact that he wanted to
Alison's POVI opened my eyes to the pounding of my head. The sun was much too bright for me.“Ungh, shucks,” I cursed over and over in my head as I blinked rapidly, trying to find myself some form of relief.Maybe hitting my head with a hammer and nail would be more helpful to me though. How much exactly had I drunk last night and why had I even drank this much without sense? It’s not like I usually ingested alcohol anyway so this was truly something I was not used to by any means.As I slowly adjusted to the light. I realized I was staring at a ceiling that wasn't one I recognised. Where am I? The thought dimly came to my mind, and my brows furrowed, trying to recall the last thing that happened the previous night.The mating ceremony, the thought came to me quickly. Of course. Watching my best friend - supposed best friend at least - and the man I had a deep unrelenting crush on got married under the canopy of the oldest tree in our pack territory was not the best thing for me to w
AlisonI was weeping bitterly as I stopped a cab, hopping in without even telling the driver my destination. The pain I was feeling at the moment was more like I was being pierced by a silver dagger. I know why, that's because I haven't felt this heartbroken before, I have never been this hurt by love from day one of my existence."Miss, I still don't know your destination." The driver said to me and I quickly realized myself. "15th Andrew by the left." I said, trying to hide my sobby voice.I sniffed hard, letting the tears stain my cheeks as I thought of nothing but Selena's voice. "You're always handsome, Logan."It should have been me, you know. I should be the one saying those words to him but she is. And it's not her fault, it's mine. I fucked up! I trusted her so much to think that she is the only one able to understand my feelings, little did I know she had taken advantage of me.I hated myself two times more than I hated her. I'm a mess, a big one for that matter. Luckily I
Alison“Selene came over. She was looking for you yesterday,” my mother said. I barely looked up from my bowl of oatmeal, nodding.“Okay,” I mumbled in response. I did my best to resemble the physical representation of static on a TV screen - Vague and uninteresting to look at.“You should go see her. She said she didn't see you at the ceremony. So she may be worried about you,” my dearest mother continued in that oblivious way she always was in.Oh, mother, I thought. You have no idea what is going on. If anything, she may have come here to try and appease me. I doubted that she would have succeeded though. I was still in a snit. My heart ached at the thought of them.Despite having not eaten much except for the chicken soup and some pasta I saw in the microwave late last night, I had suddenly lost all semblance of an appetite. Standing up, I moved to place my bowl in the sink and began the small task of washing it before placing it on the plate rack and walking back to my bedroom.“
Alison The floorboards of my bedroom would have creaked more when I walked over it for the fiftieth time that night, had it not been covered by my well-worn blue carpet. Dimitri Tulsi… was that his name, I wondered as I continued pacing the length of my room that evening, feeling like I had gotten myself in the trouble of a lifetime. No matter how much I tried to brush off the fact that it certainly could not be true, it was hard for me to decide that when all I was thinking of was how damn unlikely it would be for this to be another coincidence. This was not just possible, right? I( exhaled sharply, and shook my head, before I jolted at the sound of my mother’s knocking. “DInner, Alison,” she called before I heard her footsteps leaving my door. “Coming,” I shouted back at her, before sighing again and moving to the bathroom to relieve myself before I went down for dinner. Who my mate’s identity was would have to wait for another day. The dinner was steak and mashed potatoes, my
ALISONI was shocked to see Dimitri standing by the door, his eyes fixed on me. I stood like a caught thief, my heart was beating against my chest. What am I going to say to him? How will I explain things to him now?But then I had to compose myself and act like the thief I ain't. I won't call this stealing, I was actually taking what belongs to me. He had my bracelet, and I can't let him have it for long. I needed it back."What are you doing?" He asked in his deep voice."Nothing. Just taking what belongs to me. But don't worry, I was about to leave when you walked in." I walked past him but he was quick to grab my hand, pulling me back."You aren't just leaving like that, are you?""Look, I was actually leaving before you stopped me." I said, sounding a bit rude but this dude won't let go off me.He looked at my hand and found my bracelet, he smiled. "I see.""I need it back." I blurted."Wasn't gonna say no. But you know, pretty girls like you shouldn't be stealing.""I wasn't ste
