"Mom," I stammered, the fear threatening to consume me. "You... his scent is on me... You slept with Adrian?" Her fury trembled through her every word.
"You... how dare you?!" she exclaimed, storming towards me. Gripping my arm tightly, she shook me with an intensity fueled by rage. "Are you out of your goddamn mind?! What have you done, you brainless girl?"
This was the first time I witnessed my mother's controlled demeanor crumble, her words echoing throughout the pack house, leaving a trail of anger in their wake. It felt as though her body had been possessed by a stranger, her rage seeping out unrestrained. Her eyes blazed with fury.
"August, I explicitly told you that if you went near that boy again, our relationship would be severed. But not only did you break that promise, you came back home reeking of his sc
The setting sun painted the sky in hues of pink and gold, casting a warm, ethereal glow over the sprawling pack lands. As the day transitioned into twilight, a sense of magic filled the air, mirroring the enchantment that swirled within my heart. The pack hall stood before me, adorned with delicate drapes and fragrant blossoms, like a sanctuary of love and unity.I stood at the threshold of this momentous occasion, my pulse quickening with each passing second. The gown I wore clung to me like a second skin, its intricate lace and shimmering details embodying the essence of elegance. My eyes, brimming with excitement and nervous anticipation, reflected the soft candlelight that illuminated the hall.Beside me, my mother, a portrait of strength and love, offered me a tender smile. Her eyes shimmered with unshed tears, mirroring the depth of emotions that surged w
“Stop!” my heart sank as I ran toward mom to sheild her and take her place instead SPLASH! Drenched from head to toe in the dirty water in the middle of the kitchen, I tried to breathe deeper to calm my erratic heartbeat. And then the one thing I was dreading, presented itself. “God damn it! You stink!” Peter blasted, throwing the empty bucket of water directly at my face. It hit my head and fell down on the ground with a loud tumble. It hurt, but I did not dare to dodge. Peter is old and ugly and reeks of alcohol all the time, but he has power. The omega supervisor. If I offended him, mom and I will be doomed. “August, move.” mom whispered from behind, trying to shove me aside as her hands trembled on my arm. She was timid, and always remained quiet with her head down. She said as long as we did not offend anyone, we will be able to survive as omegas without getting harmed. I followed the advice. I remained like her, with my head staring at the ground without talking to anyon
Lucinda stood at the door watching me and mum. She must have heard everything already. I heard repressed and low murmurs around the room, surprised that Lucinda is even more beautiful than looking from afar. She is the living definition of grace. She’s the gem, the princess. She is everything we can never be. With a small, gentle smile on her face she walked toward us, and bent down to say to mom, “Let me borrow your daughter for a while, will you?” The other omegas had scattered around to their works, but the wonder and astonishment on their faces still remained. What a lady, acting so politely even to an omega. Mom nodded her head, wiping the tears from her face, “Of course, miss.” Lucinda straightened, “August? Storage room.” and walked out of the kitchen, knowing I will follow. Just as I started standing up, mom grabbed my arm and snatched me back. Her lips moved barely, asking worriedly, “Why is miss Lucinda looking for you? Are you going to be punished by her too?” “No. No
Adrian was caught off guard by the flour attack. I repeat. Adrian, the most popular, good-looking, and also the LAST werewolf I should be in the same room with, is standing in front of me. And I had just attacked him The door slammed shut behind Him. He jumped back the moment he spotted my pale, flour-covered face. To be honest, I was impressed that he didn't scream at the sight. He had balls big enough to not scream. But instead, he shifted! Clothes ripping off, flying everywhere, and his body shifting into a large, black wolf midair. His paws slammed down on the ground as he growled and jump at me dangerously. His fangs, the size of my whole palm, bared at me with a menacing roar. I Just screamed. “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!” No bars hold. No shame. You just can’t ask too much from a girl who hasn’t transformed yet! The scream brought his wolf back to its senses. When the moment of shock passed and he saw that it was just a half-sized girl who had thrown the bowl of flou
I desperately searched through the drawer again but there was nothing else but aprons. There were no clothes in the other drawers. In the end, I just grabbed the apron and then turned to him. My face burning red in shame. “Th- this is the only thing I could find,” I mumbled, handing it to him. “Are you kidding me?” He said dryly. “I won’t blame you for your past behaviours if you just bring me a NORMAL shirt.” He thinks I am keeping him naked for my entertainment? “There is literally nothing else in this drawer, I swear on my honor!” I pulled the drawer open with enough force that it’s handle and hinges started to shake, “see! Aprons only. Or I can take off my dress and you wear it instead!” His eyes turned into slits. No dress then. He took a deep breath of frustration and then snatched the apron off my hands. My fingers shivered for a brief second when his skin touched mine. It was so hard to keep my eyes off him! I dropped my eyes immediately to the ground. He put the apr
Gossips and whispers followed me wherever I went throughout the pack house. People were eager to see me and then make that face that says ‘are you serious?’ before turning away and engaging in more gossip. Even Peter stopped harassing me. He told me to go rest one day. REST! Can you believe it? Alarmingly, Lucinda hasn’t contacted me after that dreadful day, but I can sense her everywhere. She is like a spider hovering over me, playing with me, knowing well she can consume me anytime. Mom on the other hand believed my innocence immediately because she knew I had never crossed paths with Adrian before. She said if I could just lay low for a couple of days, people will forget about this. So I did. She was wrong. The rumour became stronger each day. Peaking from behind a pillar to make sure there was no one outside, I quickly rushed out of the pack house to work, aka clean up the ground. Just as I reached the ground and rejoiced my tiny sneaking out, someone tapped on my shoulder
Adrian I rushed inside the room hastily. August was pinned on the couch by two men four times her size. She looked devastated. Her face was covered with tears as she fought for her dignity. She looked completely helpless but no one seemed to be bothered by her constant begging and struggles. “Back off!” I snapped and push away those perverts who are busy touching her naked skin.. She is an omega. But she is a girl, for fuck’s sake! “Adrian!” dad’s thundering voice crescendoed in my ears, “Do not interfere. You have already done enough.” I grabbed August’s clothes off the floor and tossing them to her, “Put them on.” She grabbed them immediately and rushed behind the couch to put the clothes back on. When I turned back around, I saw the same guards inching toward the couch, trying to look at her. “Hey, perverts!” their eyes snapped to me immediately, getting caught made them stumble and move away from that place. “Out of here. Right now!” I barked, “and remember to get ten wh
AugustI have never met a more narcissistic person than Adrian! Just because he is the future alpha of the pack, and handsome and nice, and has arms that can wrestle an elephant, he assumes that every girl that sees his ethereal, divine face will fall in love with him?Are you kidding me? I’m not those girls! I don’t even think about his crazily beautiful brown eyes.Sure, Adrian was not as bad as I had thought him to be. He didn’t laugh at me when I made mistakes. He is much more reasonable than his Dad. He has a great smile. And most importantly, though we don’t know each other too well. He still did his best to rescue me from those messes. It would be cherry on top if he is wearing shining armor. Even better if I can be the lucky princess that will live happily ever after with….Wait. What was I thinking??????I’m definitely out of my mind. August, August, remember who you are!I started to sob. My heart aching terribly. And then he started saying soft words in that gentle voice
