“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 was responsible for the mess in the kitchen. She was purposely making everything hard for me.I got down to work, not wanting to argue with her, not like arguing with her would amount to something. If anything, it would only thrust me into deeper shit and honestly, I wasn't looking forward to that.An hour later, I walked out of the kitchen with a tray balancing in my hands.My back and waist were screaming at me but I could not afford to slack off.Making my way to Kiran's room, I knocked slightly, walking in after I was granted entrance.Kiran sat by the bed holding a book which she seemed to be reading.I rolled my eyes at her pretence. The woman is as dumb as a pig and reading is never something she would do without being forced.Handing her the cup of warm milk, I stood before, waiting for her to spout her complaints. She always has something to say about anything I do and I have a feeling this time, it wasn't going to be an exception.The next moment, I flinched when the liquid splashed on me. The thin fabric I was wearing stuck on my body like a second skin.The door was pushed open and Lucas entered. His eyes scanned Kiran before they landed on me.“ What's happening here?” He asked, his eyes scanning me like I was some criminal. Or maybe I was because the next words that left Kiran's mouth painted me as one.“ It's her. She is trying to kill our child.” Kiran declared, her words making my eyes narrow at her. What was she up to this time?“ What did you do?” Lucas asked, I could feel the anger in his voice.I shook my head frantically.“ I didn't do anything. I served her some milk and she poured it on me.” I explained, hoping that at least for once, Lucas would believe me because I was saying the truth.“ Are you saying that I am lying?” Kiran shrieked before she burst into tears.Ignoring me, Lucas walked to Kiran before pulling her in his arms and coercing her.“ Tell me what happened and I will seek justice for you.” Lucas said, rocking kiran in his arms.Looking at the two people, I could not help but feel bitter inside.Seek justice for her meant I will be subjected to another round of torture. Of course, Kiran wasn't going to let this chance to see me in pain slip past her fingers.Sighing, I resigned to my fate. I wasn't going to leave this room without a sentence passed on me.“ I asked her to bring some milk to me and she brought a freezing cold glass of milk.You know that's dangerous for the baby. She must want me to miscarry our child. She still holds a grudge because you chose me over her.”Kiran explained, bursting into tears again.“ Is that true?” Lucas turned to ask and I chose to remain quiet. He won't listen to anything I say so why say anything in the first place?It's such a waste of time and he will consider it as me finding excuses.“ I am talking to your, Everly. Or are you suddenly deaf or something?” Lucas thundered making me flinch.My eyes connected with kiran's and she smirked at me. This was her intention all along, getting me into trouble with Lucas.“ If I say that the milk was warm, would you believe me?” I asked, looking him in the eye even when every nerve of my being screamed at me to not talk back.I was getting tired. I was tired of being falsely accused and getting punished.Just because he chose her over me, did that make me a sinner in his eyes.Having tolerated all the shit they threw at me over the past month, I was finally tired. Even a criminal gets the chance to tell his side of the story.Lucas didn't say a word and I took that chance to speak my mind.“ It's okay if you didn't want to take me as your mate but did you have to humiliate me to this extent? What wrong did I ever do to the two of you? I was a good friend to you kiran but how did you repay me? And you Lucas, I never asked the moon goddess to make me your mate. I wasn't enough for you? Well, you could have just rejected me. If you hate me so much, why not just banish me from the pack? I would rather be a rogue than endure the humiliation you are putting me through.” I ranted, pouring my heartache out.Why would they treat me worse than a dog?Looking at Lucas, my words seemed to have struck a chord. He looked away, not in the least confident to look me in the eye.“ Don't listen to her empty words Lucas. She just wants to waltz her way out of her crimes using that emotional speech.” Just when I thought I had a chance to walk without being punished, kiran ruined everything for me.To her, I was just trying to escape punishment, maybe that was right but the words I said were from the bottom of my heart.I was really tired and would prefer if Lucas could banish me from here and save me the pain.I would rather be what I have hated being all my life than live this kind of life.Being a rogue is not something any wolf would want for themselves but at this point, that seemed better than being in this pack.Lucas’s eyes changed black for a moment and I knew he was mindlinking someone.A moment later, two guards entered the room.“ Take her to the dungeons and lock her there until I say so.I was dragged to the dungeons and remained there for God knows how many days.“ Take her away. Clean her up and dress her. It's about time I get her off my back.” With my dwindling conscious, I heard Kiran order.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
I woke up the following day and found myself beside Lucas in his bed. The memories of the previous night ran through my mind. I had no idea how I slept but what I could remember doing is moaning and shouting at Lucas’ name countless times telling him to go harder on me. I had no regrets of having slept with Everly’s mate. After all, I have never liked that girl. I have been pretending all along even though, she trusted me and believed that we were close friends. I have never liked the idea that whenever we are together with Everly, anyone we meet seemed to me more attracted to her. “Was I not equally attractive?” I have always wondered. But when he introduced me to Lucas, I decided to do all what it takes to snatch him from her. I was even more motivated to have Lucas as my mate when I learned that he would soon become the Alpha of the pack. Lucas seemed to have equally enjoyed the night. I was even more thrived when he confidently declared to me that he has never enjoyed
Kiran’s POV Days have passed and now it was one week towards Lucas’ crowning as the Alpha. He has been so busy and occupied with the planning of the ceremony. It therefore become hard to meet him frequently as I have used to. I was becoming worried since all these long, he has never declared to me as to whether he still intended to make me his mate or Everly. Probably it was also hard for him to decide. I knew he has truly loved Everly, but it was evident that he always enjoyed the good times we have always had with him. Everly has always been updating me on the planning of the event. This confirmed to me that the two were still together. Everly had been so excited about the whole idea and she could not hesitate sharing with me. To her, I was still her best friend and thus he could not fear telling me anything to do with her mate. Her closeness to me worked very well for since I could plan when and how to approach the idea of winning Lucas and snatching him from
Lucas’ POV There was a moment of silent. I cleared my thought as I looked at Kiran. Kiran jerked up to a sitting position then looked at me with a wiry smile. The doctor’s words left me breathless for some few seconds. “W...what?” I stammered as I looked at his eyes in astonishment. The doctor glanced at me then back to Kiran and gave out a horrible frown, “I thought that you were aware?” he asked Kiran as he slowly walked out of the room after handling a paper of prescription to her. A nurse will come and escort to the pharmacist to collect your medication” he added. For all that time, Melody was just standing there looking at both of us amazingly. She seemed to have many questions about us but preferred to keep it to herself. But from the look at her face, you could tell that she has an idea of my relationship with Kiran and not so happy about it, bearing the fact that she was a close friend to my mate. Kiran gazed at me with a smile that indicated that she wanted to wh
Lucas’ POVI was glad that Everly did not come back to the hospital room when the doctor was announcing about Kiran’s pregnancy. Kiran and Melody, accompanied by the nurse were behind me walking out of the hospital room to go to the pharmacist. I had taken a turn to head to the direction where Everly was then I saw her turn and started walking towards me. She had already ended the phone call. “Oh, sorry I took so long on the phone call.” She apologized as we met. “It’s alright, we were almost leaving. Kiran and Melody have proceeded to collect the medication.” I explained. “Wow, that’s nice. What was she suffering from? I hope it was not something serious.” She anxiously inquired. “Sure, it was nothing serious. She will be alright soon. But the doctor advised her to take good care of herself. Drink more water and eat well.” I tried to explain to her. But still wondering how exactly I could hide it from her on the real results of Kiran’s pregnancy. “I hope she won’t inquire
