Second life living

I could have sworn the ticking of the clock got a little louder as everyone

stared at me, looking at me like I had grown a second head.

“are you talking to me?” he blinked, not expecting that I was going to talk

back at him. I mean that was one thing I never did, because I was alwaysso scared that I was going to upset him. But honestly? I did not find it in me

to care anymore

“look, I have a long day today, if you don’t mind, the Alpha actually called

for me” I said, side stepping him as I made my way out of the house, or at

least tried to side step him before he pulled me to him.

I felt the sparks run up my spine as he held on to me so tight, pulling me

closer t himself.

“what the fuck do you think you are doing?” he said, the confusion in his

eyes was absolute at this point.

I shoved my hands away from him, sizing him from head to toes before i

walked away, not even bothering to pay him any mind even as he

screamed my name at the top of his lungs.

I rushed straight to the Alpha’s quarters. In the past, the alpha basically

forced me to have the mating ceremony in front of everyone which was the

cause of everything that was happening and now? There was no way I was

going to let that happen to me.., not this time around.

I took in a deep breath as I stood in front of his office, I was scared. No

matter how close Ian and I had gotten, his father always scared the shit out

of me.

I raised my hands, wanting to knock when the door opened slightly.

“enter”

was all he said, as though he could already sense that I was at the door.

I bowed my head, taking a step into the room when my body froze.

“Alph…

” I tried to greet him, but I was at a loss of words as I came face to

face with the stunning beauty.

“I think I might take this one?” the man said, looking at me like I was some

piece of snack that he was ready to devour.

“she is not yours to take!!” the Alpha snapped, growling as he shot the man

on the opposite side of the office a warning stare.

“

…she is mated to my

son and would have…

”“oh please” he rolled his eyes, standing up as he wiped the imaginary dust

off his body.

“we would talk about this later. Think of my offer though, I’ll be

back” he walked passed me, still having those intense eyes on me.

“Alpha” I bowed, feeling a bit embarrassed that I actually was staring at a

man in front of my Alpha, like some starved puppy.

“the ceremony would commence this evening, make sure you are ready

for-

“

“if I may interrupt, Alpha” I ignored the way his gaze fixed on me as I cut

him off but I was honestly not in the mood to listen to those talks, not right

“

now.

… but I would not be going ahead with the ceremony. It’s not just

what Ian and I want at the moment. We are yet to decide…

”

He slammed his hands on the table, looking at me with rage people

rumored he had only for the rumor.

I instinctively took a step back, bowing my head in submission.

“that fool

does not know what he wants!! I know what is best for him and I say that

what’s best for him is to stay with his mate provided by the goddess!!!!” the

room shook as he screamed, it looked like he was barely keeping himself

from shifting which almost had me shitting my pants. The confidence I had

come with had evaporated into thin air.

“I… as the Alpha pleases” I murmured, deciding that it was better I find

another means to stop the mating ceremony from happening instead of

barking at the wrong tree.

I rushed out as fast as my legs could carry me, running through the halls

until my feet brought me to one place that I did not want to be.

Ian’s quarters.

I gulped, his scent hitting my nose before I could turn back which melted

my heart just the slightest.

‘what if he had change, what if he was different from the first time? What if

everything that happened was just a really bad dream?’ I placed my handon the door, opening it slightly as the thoughts kept flooding my mind,

making me want to scream out loud.

Instead I took in a deep breath, pushing the door to get a proper view of the

room before I paused.

“fucking go faster” my sister moaned, scratching his back as she tried to

get a grip as he thrusted into her.

“be quiet!” he snapped, but somehow he said it with such gentleness that

made you loose your mind,

I watched for a full minute, unable to process what the hell I was seeing

while they were very much lost in their own world.

I swallowed, or at least tried to but it felt impossible, especially with the

lump at the back of my throat.

“Ian” I whispered, getting their attention finally.

They did not cower, instead, he locked eyes on me, his eyes twitching as

he continued to thrust. He leaned down “I am so fucking close” he

whispered, but still loud enough for me to hear while still maintaining eye

contact with me.

I felt sick to my stomach.

I rushed out the door, aggressively wiping the tears that threatened to fall.

“they are not worth it, I knew they were close.. I saw it in the dream…

” I told

myself over and over but it still felt difficult to breathe.

I grabbed the walls, trying to steady myself, the thought of him…

I kept walking straight, trying to steady my breath before I bumped into

someone. I turned around, getting ready to apologize to the person when I

saw her.

She looked like she had seen things that no one should, at the same time,

she looked like she did not give a care in the world.

“you’ve been giving another shot to correct your mistakes child, don’t make

the same mistakes in this life”“what do you…

” I started, the words fading as she was no longer there the

moment I blinked.

“hello?” I turned around, thinking that she had maybe

gone somewhere and I just did not see her move but nothing. I was all

alone in the hall way, thinking to myself

‘what the fuck did I just witness?’

*

I made my way back into my room, on my bed, staring at the ceiling,

begging the universe to make sense of what the fuck I had just witnessed

but nothing came to mind.

‘another life

Another shot’ the thoughts circled my mind as I set my gaze on the

perfume that was now on my night stand. The same one that she had given

me all those years ago on my eighteenth birthday.

‘but today is your

eighteenth birthday’ my wolf whispered, startling me a bit since she was

never much of a talker.

“what if I was reborn?” I said, immediately feeling foolish for even

considering such a thought. I mean such things did not exist.

Or did they?

“get dressed, the mating ceremony is starting, we can’t be late” It was Ian.

He had come into my room through the already opened door, waltzing in

like he owned the place.

After I had seen him

After he knew that I had seen him.

“are you out of your mind?” I spat, looking at him with a mixture of shock

and dumbfoundness.

“look I am not in the mood for all this shit okay? Just get dressed and…

”“I Eloise cullon, reject you…

” the rest of the words died on my tongue as he

pulled me to him, looking me straight in the eyes.

“don’t you dare!! You are mine” he said, breathing heavily.
