"We are pregnant".I choke on my tea straight up. I turn to him, eyes widened in horror. "What the hell are you talking about?". I glance at my mum in panic and even though her emotions are well masked again, I see the ever slightet surprised raise of her brow. "I'm not pregnant, mum". I say with as much conviction as I can manage. I look back at Draaven and he's staring at me, a small wicked smile on his face."You see? That's how she gets at the slightest talk of a pregnancy". He turns to my mum. "Which is exactly why I'd like you to help me convince her"."Don't get my mum involved in…."."Why not? She's your mum. I'd say she's the perfect person for it". He looks back at her for confirmation and I see now that she's a little pale, a little too much in fact. She looks away nervously and reaches for her glass of wine, taking a shaky sip from it. I push up from my seat angrily."I don't know what you think you are doing but just stop it right now"."You want me to stop?". He leans fo

"I want to marry Draaven Ventura". My spine stiffens as the force of her words hit me. "What did you say?". The disbelief is evident in my voice. "I said….". "I said shut your damn mouth, Jade!!!!". My mum screams. She's gone as pale as a sheet, her eyes widened in mortification and fury. This is the angriest I've seen her in a long time. I turn back to Jade, hoping she'll burst into laughter now and tell me that she's joking and that she's sorry for bringing the pendant along. But she doesn't. Her eyes bore into mine deeply and in that moment, I realize that she's not joking at all. "What the hell do you think you are talking about? You think this is all child's play?". "And that's exactly where there's a problem". She spits angrily. "You think I'm a child, you think I don't have my own thoughts and feelings. I appreciate you for playing the big sis for so long but I can handle myself now thank you very much!!!". "And you can't handle yourself enough to be reasonable right now
Becoming the Alpha's Pawn Chapter Twenty Seven
Trish comes early the next morning to fetch me for my final dress fittings. Preparations are in full swing now, assortments of meat and drinks are being brought in, festive lanterns are hung in every possible corner and the mood is just really bright and bubbly. Even the omegas seem to be brighter with excitement, Sadly, none of that gets to me. I tried to have a good night but it was just so hard when Jade's words were still digging deep and hurting deeper. She's right on so many accounts and that's seriously unnerving. "Would you like to take a peek at the hall after the dress fittings?". Trish asks excitedly. She seems more excited than anyone about this wedding, I wonder why that is. When I look at her sometimes, I still can't help but wonder what exactly is going through her head. Does she really like me? Or is this a facade too? "Luna?". She prompts.I'm startled back to reality. Forcing a smile, I pretend to think about her question. "I think I'll pass up on that. Would be nic

I audibly gasp as I walk into the sight of them. Like a cold shower, I feel the wave of shock, betrayal and hurt down on me all at once. Jealousy as sharp as a knife slices through my heart and in this moment, I've never wanted to rip another woman apart more. They pause mid action and leisurely, he straightens, the legs of the lady that were wrapped around his waist sliding down. She scurries off hurriedly and he turns to face me slowly. Seeing his face, my brows furrow in confusion.He's Draaven and yet, he isn't. His hair is the exact same shade, styled in the exact same fashion. But this person is a little paler and his eyebrows are tinted a little on the red side. His face is also hairless, lacking the well trimmed beard Draaven sports. Instead, there's just a reddish blond moustache, shielding a pair of lips thinner than my husband's. The eyes however, are the same. The build, the jawline, almost everything is the same. Who is this?"Adrian?". Someone says from behind me. Startl

And just like that, the day is here.As I take the first step onto the aisle, I'm aware of every pair of eyes in the room swinging around to face me. They were all already staring at the entrance before I even came in. All along, I had taken comfort in the fact that I'd have my mum by my side to walk the aisle with me. It wasn't until this morning that Trish had informed me that she wouldn't be doing that. According to her, it was indeed customary to have a parent walk you down the aisle but that wasn't the case for royal weddings, especially not one of a future Luna. You have to make that little journey on your own, a little symbolic action to show the people that you are not emotionally dependent or weak. Right now, I don't feel independent or strong.The air is filled with the slow, melancholic song the band is playing and I try to remember to move my feet in accordance to it. Standing there at the end of the aisle is him, my soon to be husband. His eyes are equally fixed on me as
Becoming the Alpha's Pawn Chapter Thirty
The evening ends on a festive note. Music, food and drinks…. everything is in excess and everyone seems to be happy. Or at least most people. I guess these people must have been pretty desperate for a Luna. Somehow, the mood of the night has gotten to me too, and I find myself smiling naturally and swaying to the music from my seat on the high table. After the ceremony, I had been led to a backroom where I'd been changed from the mighty ceremonial ball gown to the mermaid style dress that I'm to use for the after-party. Draaven and I had opened the dance floor and as we had taken the stage, my body leaning into his and his hand placed at the small of my back as we rocked to the music, for a minute there, it had felt real. Like this was a real wedding and this was what I wanted. But of course it isn't. And I had made sure not to dwell too much on that emotion. Afterwards, I had danced with my mum and Trish. Jade came for the wedding too….of course she came. I wonder why a part of me d

I jump so hard that the dress falls from my hand in a soft rustle. And there he is. He's leaning against the door frame, his legs crossed at the ankles casually as he takes in the sight of me. My heart thunders in my chest for many reasons. Why's he here? While this is sweet…..we are not really going to consummate anything tonight…..are we? Look around, my consciousness tells me. What man goes through all this effort if he doesn't have the intention to have sex? That doesn't make me feel any better. I clear my throat awkwardly and straighten. I've not even had the chance to get out of my party dress and breathe properly."Hello….". I call out lamely. I shouldn't have said that….I should have said something more witty."Do you need help?". What's he even talking about? Do I look like I need help?"No". I reply smartly. "I don't need any help thank you". I glance around the room and turn back to him. "You….you actually did all this?". He pushes from the door frame and makes his way furt
Becoming the Alpha's Pawn Chapter Thirty Two
The first thing I notice as I come down for the breakfast is that everyone is staring. The last time I felt like this was when I newly arrived here, when i stood out with my darker skin and hair. I still do, but I guess they are mostly used to it now. No one really stares like before….well, until this morning. As I come down the stairs, I strain my ears to listen in on what's being said but I only catch a few words."Left….night….". When the omegas sense my presence, they all seal shut, scurrying past me in glaring guilt. My eyebrows furrow in curiosity."What's everyone talking about?". I ask Edna as we make our way down the stairs. There's a brief moment of hesitation and it tells me everything I need to know. She knows about what's going on too."It's nothing you need to worry about, Luna".I halt in my steps and spin around to face her. "Tell me". She looks a little uncomfortable but finally she speaks."It's kinda going around that the….alpha didn't spend the night with you". My
