3rd Person's POV
"Come on! You're coming with me! Right now!! Into the mall!!" Adalyn screamed using the Alpha authority in her voice to try to move him but his uninterested eyes turned over to her."No!" He replied."You know, Mark and I are going on vacation for a month and I don't think I'm returning to the pack until maybe the following year" she said and it hit him, while she smirked knowingly.Although, he wasn't not really a fan of fun and huggy-wuggy stuff, he really loved my family. Adalyn had left for the Venom Pack to be with her mate for 10 years and she only came for a week or two each year, this was the only period she was coming this year and she knew he would want to be with her.His lips formed a thin line and he walked into the mall with her in front.~~~Dove POVI and Sophia got down from the car and headed for the mall until we spotted a Rolls-Royce, I didn't even know what model it was but it looked amazing."Oh my God! Who the hell would leave something like this here?" I asked"It's a freaking Rolls-Royce Sweptail!" She saidI walked up to it and handed Sophia my phone."Come on, take a pic for me" I said and stroke a pose, she took the pic and I ran towards the phone, "is it good?""Yeah, now my turn" she handed me her phone and ran over to take a pic too."I need to take more pics" I said and took some pictures before going in.~~~"Oh Soph, just got to tell ya, it's all on you" I said and she chuckled."Yeah"We were at the makeup department and I was picking a color of lipstick when I met a fragrant scent.Hmm, hot chocolate and cinnamon. Weird combination."What's that smell?" I asked Sophia"Hmm?""That smell""What smell?""I thought I perceived something""Oh we're right next to the perfume section, you wanna get some?""Yeah, it smells amazing""You must have a good nose"I stuffed the lipstick into my shopping cart and was about to head over to the pleasant scent when the scent came to me, I looked around trying to use my nose to find it when I met with the most gorgeous blue eyes and a broad figure."What are you waiting for Dove?" Sophia asked me but I was too caught up staring at his eyes, they were beautiful.He moved closer and Sophia turned to him then to me."He looks hot", she whispered into my ear.He inched closer again with his long legs until he was right in front of me and I could perceive that scent from him, it smells amazing. He was on a suit. He scanned me from head to toe and knit his brows.Blue eyes looking like two liquid pools of flashing fire that I could stare into forever, carefully groomed dark hair that I imagined pushing my fingers into while his tongue explored my mouth...Wait! What the hell am I thinking?I can literally see my red and hot face as I turned away."Dove?!!" I heard that little witch from home's voice and I turned to see Emma and some of her friends, she walked up to me, oh no!!I quickly turned away and started walking while Sophia followed from behind."Where are you going?" I could hear her footsteps following along with her friends but I hit a hard chest when I moved a step forward again and I got an idea.I loosed the headband and my hair fall over my shoulders then I lowered my head letting my brunette hair fall over my face and increased the pitch of my voice.I felt him take a sniff of my hair and place his hand on my waist. I stiffened.She walked over to me and I looked down at her, "little kid, who are you looking for?" I asked and she was shocked by the sudden warmth in my voice.She looked at the man who had sneaked his arm around my waist and looked back at me."Sorry, I thought you were someone else" she said and I nodded with a smile"I get that all the time, it's alright", she walked away while murmuring"Dove doesn't have those type of clothes and she isn't pretty anyways and she has some injuries on her face" she said and I almost moved forward to grab her hair.I did! They were only hidden in the depths of my closet and I'm pretty, I get told about that everyday.I still had my eyes on her when a pretty lady walked over to yell at the guy who still had his arm around me."Lexus! How dare you try to leave me here?! You're coming with me!" She said until her eyes fell on his arm around my waist and she frowned.Was this his girlfriend? Oh my God! Did I just...I immediately moved forward and his hands fell off my waist while she remained silent and went over to hold his arm and dragged him away.I felt a pain in my chest seeing the way she held his arm and I wanted to go after them but I held myself back, I don't even know him."What was that?" Asked Sophia"I was supposed to be at home right now and that was my little sister... She recognized me but I didn't want her to because she's annoying and she would want me to get some stuff for her" I lied through my teeth"Let's just get want we want and leave" I said"What about the perfume?" She asked"Yeah let's go get that too" I said and headed to the perfume section.Dove's POVIt's been two days in the pack and I've been in the room all through.Lexus hadn't slept in here with me, but he did come to check up on me, give me some food and leave immediately, I guess my discomfort and embarrassment was axiomatic. My right eye-lid has been twitching repeatedly nowadays and a sense of foreboding creeps into my heart, leaving me continuously paranoid with dread. I've been thinking about it nonstop, and I think Lexus may have noticed my weariness too… I should probably forget about this.Earlier today, I braced myself and asked Lexus if I could ‘get some air somewhere outside the room’, he’d agreed and it had me beaming with excitement until now.I had no idea how a pack looked, and I'm quite nervous but having Lexus be my guide made butterflies bubble in my belly.I walked out of the shower to see a set of clothes lying on the bed as usual, some underwear, a white button-down shirt, high-waisted blue jeans and white sneakers, with a necklace and some s
Paisley's POVLife's been terrible since the last two weeks.For one, Bryan broke up with me. Two, I got fired... Yes! I got fired for inappropriate behavior during work hours, really?! That was all that bitch could come up with and the next moment I was fired.I didn't really let Dove know, well since I didn't want her worried about me.Okay, let's go on with the list...Bryan attacked me, My apartment was vandalized! Yeah! Freaking run over! Like turned upside down.I almost saw heaven... Or hell. A frigging rifle was pressed against my forehead.Some jerk 'Alpha Derek' came looking for Dove and shot Steve's leg even as I had told that moron not to be impulsive, now he's on a wheelchair. I think that may have been why Dove ran away, like she pretty much ghosted me after an emotional call.I couldn't reach her, I had even gone to that company but she wasn't there. I payed her family a silent visit but she wasn't there. I asked Sophie and she said Dove had called her too and disappeare
Dove's POV Adalyn's mother.It was pretty obvious since she took the eyes, the hair, the lips, the eyebrows, the cheekbones... But the rest were her father's.Adalyn was Lexus' sister which meant her mother was his mother which means this is Lexus' mother and I'm totally freaking out right now.She immediately walked up to me, the rest following behind her when Lexus growled and stood in front of me, baring his teeth.That just made me feel all mushy and gushy inside."Get those away right now!" She said, glaring at him but he kept his stand, snarling at her, "Lexus Sebastian Gray, get those two baby teeth out of my sight!" She repeated and he immediately retracted them but still stood, protecting me from them.His eyes flashed gray and his teeth were elongating and moving back in."I just want to see her, I won't do anything to her." She said and moved past him to stand in front of me, "you're the mate?" She asked, looking at me with distaste.What the hell was everyone's problem wi
Dove's POV He walked towards the bed and sat next to me, clearing his throat.I peeked out at him as he turned to me with a grin, "look who was drooling" he said with a smirk.I put my face back into the pillow in embarrassment, he had seen me."Wh-what happened..." I didn't want to assume that was his father and end up being wrong."My dad... He wasn't really..." I completed the sentence for him."Happy I was here, right? What were you talking about?"He pressed his lips together to form a line and creased his brows, refusing to speak.I could already guess what had happened, he refused to let me be their queen.I sighed and let go of the pillow, pushing myself to the side of the bed next to him."I understand." I said, it had always been 'I understand' whenever I got unaccepted by people or denied of something and there was nothing else to say right now."No!" He said, "you're not leaving me or the pack! This is where you belong and you're going to be Luna if he likes it or not!!"
Dove's POVMy heart hammered against my chest facing the furious man standing in front of me.His eyes had turned black, completely black and he let out a growl that made everyone around us shrink back and whimper. I could feel the powerful aura around and took a few steps back even as I refused to bow my head like the others.I heard another growl and saw Lexus coming to stand in front of me as he stared deep into the bottomless black pit of his father's eyes.They engaged in a silent conversation and Lexus turned to me, "Adalyn is over there, she'll lead you to my room, stay there. Don't come out or let anyone in!" He instructed while his eyes trailed to Adalyn standing a few distance away from us.I nodded and walked over to her while other's eyes trailed on me, I tried not to look back at them or put my head down as I moved towards Adalyn.She immediately grabbed my hand and pulled me into the mansion.She led me through the hallway while people cleared the way for her to pass thr
Dove's POVWe're currently in Lexus' car driving to God-knows-where.Just an empty lane that the car didn't fit with, I looked out the car's window just thinking about my life and how upside down it is right now.I couldn't and definitely wouldn't have imagined I would be in this scenario if this was a month ago, I was looking for a job and got a job at Gray Enterprises.I suddenly remembered Sophia and I smiled. I wouldn't be able to contact her again since Lexus had taken away my phone, something about them being able to track me.The ride was silent but not awkward a bit, we enjoyed each other's presence in the silence. After about two hours, we finally met a forest."We're almost there", that was enough to make me feel nervous and excited to see what a pack would look like.A few minutes later, we met bulky men and women surrounding an area with weapons in hand.They walked up to us and Lexus came out of the car and they instantly bowed and somehow bent their neck in some weird wa
