Everly’s POV
It has been several minutes of battling with these magic beasts with Alex. My body was full of wounds and I felt as if I was going to breathe my last. I tried to scream but no sound could come from me. I could helplessly watch Alex struggling to help me though he also seemed overpowered. However, he persisted struggled, and managed to tear the beast off my weary body.Dimly, I registered a glowing energy rising from my palms to meet the darkness seeping from my many wounds. For the first time, I realized the full potential of my rare healing gifts was awakening under extreme duress.It seemed as if I was in a dreamland. Over the past few minutes, I had already given up and was ready for anything worse. My body was weary and full of wounds. I was in so much pain and could not fight the beast anymore. I was also not sure whether Alex would manage to save me because he also seemed to be overpowered by the beast. But my hope started to slowly crEverly’s POVI worked tirelessly alongside Alex in the ensuing months, lending my healing gifts wherever needed as order was restored. My control grew steadily under the King's patient tutelage and I gained the packs' grudging respect. Still, old scars ran deep and doubts lingered in quiet moments.I wandered the royal gardens one moonlit night, breathing in the heady scents of late blooms when Alex's familiar presence stole up behind me. "You've done so much good, my darling. Yet I fear you do not see your worth," he murmured, circling strong arms around my waist. My body froze, memories of past betrayals rising unbidden before logic reminded my heart that Alex had proven himself in countless ways. "I am trying," I gathered courage and replied in a fainted voice, relaxing into his reassuring embrace though walls remained. Alex's responding chuckle rumbled through my bones, easing lingering tension. "Then try this - open your heart to me fully as your intended mate. The
Taking one glance at myself, I smiled. I don't like the colour red but my mate is enchanted by anything red so tonight, I decided to surprise him. My off shoulder red dress reached my mid thighs and the deep v-neck exposed a little bit of cleavage. Just like Lucas likes. Since tomorrow would be the day he would be crowned as the Alpha, I had this crazy idea to give him an early present by giving myself to him. He is my mate so there’s nothing wrong with sleeping with him. After all, when tomorrow comes, he will take me as his mate officially or so I thought. I had been sceptical about the whole surprise thing but Kiran boosted my confidence. As I walk down the hallway that leads to his room, I can't help but feel giddy inside. This is it. “ Are you excited?” I asked my wolf, melody, who had been awfully quiet throughout the evening. “ I don't have a good feeling about this.” Melody replied, making me snort. “ What could go wrong? He is our mate.” I shot back. Lucas had been
Tears stung my eyes but I fought very hard to restrain them. I couldn't allow Lucas to see my tears, not now when I could feel him simmering with anger. I can't help but wonder when things turned this way. It's been a month since I caught them in bed with Kiran. The following day, he had assumed the position of alpha of the Pack and took my traitor friend as his Luna. To please his pregnant wife, I was reduced to their personal maid. I have to be at their beck and call. From being a mate and friend, life slapped me harshly. Over the past one month, I have endured humiliation and abuse. It would have hurt less if it was a total stranger to them. He then slapped me, sending me stumbling and falling on the floor with a thud. Everyday, this is what I go through in his hands or Kiran’s. My one time hope of happiness was now the reason my sheets remained wet throughout the night.The impact of his slap had my mouth filled with a metallic taste. Being an omega, I was too weak to withstan
“That should be none of your business.” Kiran answered but with how her words faltered, I could tell that I was right. She didn't love Lucas, only loved the position she could get from being with him. Was power so important to her that she was willing to be with a man she didn't love? Anyway, why should I care. She chose that path herself, trampling on others to achieve her goal. As for Lucas, I hope he never comes to regret Choosing someone like her. “ Stop idling around. Move your ass and prepare something for me to eat.” Kiran ordered, seemingly wanting to change the topic, not like I was intending to press the matter any further. Following behind her, I made my way to the kitchen. I stopped in my tracks seeing how messy the kitchen was. Everything was a mess, from the floor, to the table and the counters. It's like someone purposely made the mess. “ Get everything cleaned and don't keep me waiting.” Kiran sneered from behind me. I didn't need to be wise to know that she wa
Throughout the process, I didn't bother asking where they were taking me or why I was being ‘prepared’.You see, when you go through hell, nothing fazes you anymore. At this point, I had already lost all hope in life. Thanks to a mating bond, my life was turned upside down.Being Lucas's mate was a curse. They say that a mating bond is a blessing from the moon goddess but why was it different when it came to me? Wasn't i one of her children just like the rest?The love and adoration that comes with the bond wasn't what I got after all. On the contrary, I was rewarded with pain and anguish. Rejection and hatred. My mate hated me instead of loving me.After two hours of sitting before that damned dressing table, the stylist was finally done. Looking at the woman in the reflection, I could hardly believe it was me. Makeup reverted me back to the woman I was before fate smacked me in the ass. The beautiful and confident woman i was.But no matter how pleasing I was in the eye, nothin
Chapter 5I had already managed to get the view of my Cruel Ex-boyfriend Lucas, before Alex blocked me behind his back. The familiar voice behind us had already re awakened the pains I had been enduring over the past one month under his hands and his mate Kiran. “Lucas!” I shouted at him in disbelief. I was sure that I have already drained myself the little energy that was remaining and thus nothing else could come from my wicked mouth. I turned back and confirmed that I was not wrong to mistaken his voice with any other person’s voice. Indeed it was him walking towards us. At this point, I had gone through a lot of pain and I didn’t see anything worse to fear from Lucas. Together with his heartless mate Kiran, they had subjected me to enough torture and ended up selling me to this Auctioneer. That was the second last worst thing that I believed could happen to an innocent Omega girl like me. The last was now to kill me, which I believed they were capable of. I regained my
Chapter 6 Lucas POVI watched my fated mate walk away with another man in disbelief. Seeing another man hold her hand and calling her his chosen mate made me regret the path I had chosen by taking Kiran to replace Everly as my mate. “I should do all what it takes to fight for Everly. Even if it means challenging the King”. I confidently told myself. “Did Kiran really love me or was she just obsessed by my position as an Alpha of the pack?” I started regaining my mind back. I think I should not have allowed myself to be blinded by her fake love, to the extent of doing such crazy thing like abandoning the person who truly loved me. All had been going well between me and Everly before she innocently introduced me to her best friend Kiran. Even though Everly was an Omega, bonds become so tight that I dint mind her being my mate and becoming the Luna after my coronation as the Alpha of the pack. She was intelligent and beautiful. Additionally, she seem to hav
It has been close to a week since we were in the restaurant with my mate Everly accompanied by her best friend. The sweet memories of that night were still fresh in my mind. But I tried as much as I could not to think so much about my mate’s best friend, Kiran. I knew I had the best mate ever, and have always believed that we were destined to be together. Although Kiran had tried her best to attract my attention that night, I couldn’t imagine changing my mind on Everly’s love. Everly was beautiful and intelligent. Additionally, I have always believed that she truly loved me. I could not afford loosing Everly. “Has my mind started sinking into confusion over whom I should make my mate and the Luna of the packed after being coroneted in a few months to come?’ I asked myself but the answer was so obvious to me. Well, I believe that Kiran was equally attractive that night. She also seemed chamming and friendly. She was equally beautiful in her well-tailored outfit. Hoping that she didn’t d
