ASTRID'S POV

“There's no need for this much” Amelia rolled her eyes discreetly at me as she helped tie my hair up in a bun.

Looking at myself in the broken vanity mirror, I couldn't help but fidget with my hands in my lap. “You don't get it” I whispered.

I didn't expect her to. I was getting mated to the Alpha today after all and she didn't know that ㅡ No one knew thatㅡ but today, he was going to take me as his Luna and my life would change.

From the omega that everyone walked on to the Luna whom everyone respected. The very thought made my sense tingle with excitement.

Amelia muttered something incomprehensible, her hands working fast to fasten the lace at the back of my dress. “You're just going to embarrass yourself, Astrid. No one wants to see you in a dress at the mating ceremony. Alpha Ren certainly wouldn't appreciate someone… like you to go this far”

Someone like meㅡ someone as useless as I was deemed to beㅡ that was the right way to put it and honestly? I couldn't bring myself to care again.

Born and raised in silver hollow pack, I had grown used to the constant taunts from people around me. I was weak, quiet and I didn't have a mate on my 18th birthday. Surely, there could be nothing with me… I told myself that a million times but each time, I ended up crying myself to sleep because I didn't believe it. Until he came along… Alpha Ren ㅡ my mate.

A sharp tug on the corset made me wince and I look back at Amelia who doesn't bat an eye at my obvious discomfort. She taps my back and her blue eyes remain fixed on me. “You're all done. Now, can I go? I need to get ready for the ball too” She rolled her eyes at me.

My lips parted to thank her for her help but she was already striding out of the room, a huff escaping her lips before she walked out.

“um… thank you..?” I muttered awkwardly to myself before turning to look at myself in the mirror.

I looked good. Ren would like it.

He had to.

*******************************

The hall was bustling with activities and the air was heavy with the feeling of happiness. The pack was in high spirits, people clustered together to exchange pleasantries while maids frolicked about, eager to serve the guests.

I moved out of the way in time to avoid being hit by two children running about in a bid to grab some food. A small smile graced my lips as I stared at them from where I stood. I was once like them…

Skaking my head, I decided to mingle with the other guests before Alpha Ren came out for the official announcement.

The people gave me weird looks as I approached them, quickly shuffling away or suddenly remembering that they hadn't done a thing or two in a place that was far from my current location. Despite the endless rejections, I kept a smile on my face, refusing to let my insecurities show.

“This is…amazing” I heard a familiar voice behind me exclaim and I turned on my heels to see Amelia already dressed up in a blue silk gown that complimented her eyes while her blonde hair had been left in curls. She was stunning without even trying and I found myself touching my only piece of jewelry in the form of a locket around my neck.

“You look great” The words tumbled out of my mouth and she smiled a bit at me.

The gathering at the front began to disperse and I straightened up instantly, my heart pounding. He would be here soon.

Amelia leaned in closer. “Guess what I heard?”

Ah, the local gossip.

“What's it?” I asked halfheartedly so as not to seem rude.

She smiled brightly this timeㅡ whatever she had to say must be important because she had never smiled this genuinely at me and I had known her for four years.

“We're having guests due to arrive tomorrow morning from the Lycan pack. I hope the eldest son is the one to come but I wouldn't mind the other brothers” Her cheeks flushed crimson red and I immediately caught up on it.

Oh.

With a forced smile, I nodded at her. “I know. The attacks around are getting out of hand so… it was needed anyways bㅡ” That was as far as I got before the booming sound of Alpha Ren's voice reached me.

“Good evening, everyone” He said and the hall fell silent with a hush, no one daring to speak at his entrance.

My eyes brightened and I found myself taking a step forward to look at him better. He looked the same as he did when I saw him yesterday but there was something in his eyes ㅡ Pain? Regret? Hesitation?ㅡ Whatever it was, it flooded the mate bond, confusing me with the overwhelming mix of emotions.

“Finally” I heard a commoner mutter to my side.

Ren hesitated for a bit before smiling but I knew that smile was as fake as hell. Something was wrong and the growing sense of dread within me did nothing to make me feel at ease.

“We are gathered here tonight because we are ready to receive the biggest guests we could ask for… from the royal house of the lycans. Several moons ago, the wolves and the Lycans formed an alliance and now, we are strengthening it by coming together again…” He paused with the gentle claps from the audience and I found myself clapping also.

His father, Alpha Williams stood behind him, poised as elegantly as ever with his dark eyes seeming to rest on me for a second as he swept over the crowd in one glance.

“We are also here for the choosing ceremony. A year ago, I found my mate and she's in our midst today. Astrid Miller” Ren announced, a blank look on his face and not in any way mirroring the excitement on mine.

People around gasped as I took a step forward, eager to meet with Ren up there but his next words seemed to rip my soul from me. “But I can not get married to a weakling… she's the weakest link in the pack and it speaks bad of the pack which is why I will be getting married to Aria from Bloodmoon pack in a few weeks” He announced, his voice devoid of any emotions.

It felt like the air had been knocked out of my windpipes and I stumbled slightly, my eyes wide and my heart pounding in my ribcage, the world outside seeming to fade into nothingness.

Nothing could have prepared me for his next words as his eyes found mineㅡcruel, unforgivingㅡ nothing like the man I knew.

“Astrid Miller… I, Ren Haiden rejects you as my mate and you are to leave the pack…effective”

  • Claimed By The Lycan Brothers    Chapter 2

    ASTRID’S POVSomething snapped within me.Pain. Blinding, soul-wrenching pain tore through every part of my body. My knees gave way, and I dropped to the ground with a harsh gasp. It felt like the mate bond had been ripped straight out of me—my chest ached, my heart thundered, and my vision blurred with tears. Was this how it felt like to have your mate bond broken? If it was, I never wanted to feel it again, I would rather die than feel like a part of my soul was ripped out.The hall fell into a cold silence as soon as I crumbled to the floor. Then came the whispers like I knew.“Serves her right…”“She really thought she was good enough?”“She’s always been delusional.”I could barely hear them over the howl of agony in my head. My wolf—she was howling in agony. Screaming. Begging for the pain to stop. I clutched my chest as if I could hold the pieces of myself together.Then I looked up. Straight at him. Ren.He wasn’t even looking at me. He stood there, his expression blank, eyes

    ASTRID’S POVA low growl echoed behind me, and the sound of twigs snapping made my heart jump into my throat.They were here and they were closer than ever.Judging by the amount of steps, it wasn't just one… I paused… those were human steps… not a werewolfs’.I squeezed my eyes shut, whispering, “Please, please…” over and over, my hand clutched around my locket like it could protect me.Then a strong hand yanked me up and I screamed at the force at which I was pulled to my feet.A large palm immediately clamped over my mouth.“Damn it! shut up!” a low, gravelly voice hissed near my ear.I froze, my eyes flying open, and I found myself staring into the bluest pair of eyes I’d ever seen. They were sharp. Cold. Watching me like I was a prey and he was the predator while his calloused hands easily shut me up.Who was this? Whoever he was, he had a dangerous air around him and I needed to get the hell away from him.He towered over me, his face only inches from mine. His jaw was sharp, hi

    LUCAS'S POVI took one last look at the girl crouched down on the floor and I sighed. She looked a mess.We had been walking through the forest when Landon had caught the scent of blood and naturally we thought someone was being attacked by a rogue so we had rushed to track the person down but we had clearly not expected to see ….her.Her face was matted with blood and mud, obscuring her features but I could tell she was actually quite pretty and judging from the looks that my brothers gave her, I knew they were thinking the same.“Think we can stop somewhere and get her new clothes and all?” Landon asked, tilting his chin up at me.As the oldest of the triplets and the heir to the throne, I was laden with a lot of responsibilities and sometimes, I wondered how it would be like if I wasn't.I looked up at the sky already beginning to show signs of the sunrise. “Let's camp here. Matthew and the others will catch up with us soon. For now…” I looked down at her.She was hugging her knees

    ASTRID'S POVThe encounter was frightening enough and my legs were wobbling by the time I made it back into the room that was assigned to me in their quarters.The Lycan brothers room was just a few hallways away from mine and I was given a room of my own.There was a sudden knock on the door and I jerked slightly, my palms sweaty as I opened the door to see a maid standing there with a bunch of clothes in her hands as well as a scowl on her face. She clearly didn't appreciate waiting on me but there was a small sense of triumph in me at the way the tables had been flipped.“Here's your clothes” She forced a smile at me, handing the clothes to me.“Thanks” i muttered, collecting them from her.She didn't leave immediately, she looked me over with a disgusted look on her face. “You don't belong here” She spat.My heart deflated at her words but before I could open my mouth to speak, I heard a voice from outside. “I don't think that's your place to note”The maid paled, bowed and scurri

    ASTRID'S POVI didn't look back, I didn't want to. My feet pounded against the stone floor, my boots scraping against it when I suddenly halted at the door to my room.My fingers trembled as I pulled out the key to my room while I tried to fix it in but I felt fumbling it and tears stung my eyes at the realization that I couldn't even do this.I heard it before I turned aroundㅡ the sound of someone walking to me briskly and the scent of musk reached me before I heard his voice.“You okay, Princess?” A husky voice asked, his presence weighing heavily on me.With a defiant look, I turned around to see Lucas standing there, the sight of those unblinking eyes making my stomach coil in… what was it?“I'm fine” I brushed his concern aside. “I just decided to come back to my room and get some rest” I muttered, turning back around to try to open my door with slightly trembling fingers.He was silent for a moment but I could feel him thereㅡ a solid rock behind me, unmoving, silent but there.“

  • Claimed By The Lycan Brothers    Chapter 7

    LUCAS'S POVTurns out she wasn't good at fighting evidently judging from the hurried panting as she wheezed, the sword I had given her clutched tightly in one hand while she held her chest.“Stop” She panted, doubling over on the sparring ground.I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Why did I have to end up with someone who had no clue about anything.“Astrid” I called out and she raised her head up slightly to stare at me.“Seriously?” I raised a brow. “We've been at it for just 20 minutes. I have a meeting in an hour and you're supposed to be there, you know?” I reminded her.Silence followed and she struggled to straighten up, her hair messy in a messy bun with strands sticking to her sweaty face. “Absolutely not. I prefer it here”Gosh, she was stubborn and I didn't know if I should be impressed or annoyed but I was betting on the latter. “You suck at both” I didn't sugarcoat it for her.Her bottom lip wobbled and I could tell my words were harsh but I was never the type to sugar

    ASTRID'S POV“How much longer?” I asked, feeling my breath shorten with each step into the woods.We'd been walking for two hours straight and he had shown no signs of stopping. Oh, did I mention that I had asked him questions severally but all I got were grunts in response.He seemed to be more intent on speaking with the guards that followed us. Three guards from silver hollow and four from his.“Landon!” I couldn't take it any more, willing myself to move closer to where he stood, his hand on the sheath of his sword.He didn't seem to be fazed when I almost crashed into him, leaves crunching under my both as I slid to a stop from the high ground I was.“What?” He asked, looking around.The guards were scouting around, their swords at the ready as they spread in different directions.I had no weapon with me except for a small dagger because the weight of a sword would probably slow me down. “How far along are we to the destination?” I asked impatiently.He turned to look at me slowl

    ASTRID'S POV The group was silent, a brooding tense atmosphere settling over us and Landon turned around to look at me again, his brows furrowing when he noticed the look on my face.“Whoa… are you okay?” He didn't seem fazed by the death of the guard from silver hollow, he took a step towards me instead.“I… we have to go” I announced, my voice desperate but he held my shoulder, his grip tight and preventing me from moving further away.“What's wrong?” He demanded.I noticed how the others placed their hands over their chest, their fingers grazing the crest over their armour as they gave their fallen comrade a proper send-off.Turning back to Landon who was staring at me, his eyes flickering over me to make sure I was fine and for a moment, I felt overwhelmed by the grey and hazel eyes orbs looking me over. “Astrid!” The sound of his voice calling my name snapped me back to reality and I jerked slightly in his hold.“We have to go. We've seen enough” I broke free from his hold effor

    ASTRID'S POVIt suddenly became hard to breathe and my legs had begun to wobble. I hadn't seen her for years. Ever since I was just a little kid, she had made it her job to bully me due to the fact that I was the weakest member of the pack. Soon after my mum died, Sabrina was picked by the Luna of the pack who was still alive at that time to become her personal maidㅡ I felt happy that I didn't have to see her face again, I was a bit sad that this meant that she would have a better life but at least she wouldn't have to torture me again.When the Luna died and Alpha Williams stepped down for Ren to take over, I didn't hear from her again but I knew that she was still in the palace but now as a higher maid. Ren used to give me information about her but I never wanted to see her again.Until now.“What do you want?” I croaked.She placed her hands on her hips and I used the opportunity to look at herㅡ really look at her.She was almost the same. Full black silky hair, blue eyes just like

    ASTRID'S POVI stumbled back at the sudden crash of his lips against mine. It was everything like I knewㅡ everything felt familiarㅡ the sudden way my heart started to race. The way his hands reached up into my hair, gripping it lightly but not enough to hurt me. The way his lips seemed to mould perfectly against mine, his tongue slightly tracing my lips and his hot breath fanning across my skin.It all felt familiar. All except oneㅡ I didn't feel anything. The slight spark or the violent lurching of my stomach whenever we kissed.It felt…empty but I couldn't push him away, my hands fell slack by my sides.He didn't seem to notice my hesitation as he backed me against the wall, his hands reaching for the hem of my shirt and in that moment, it felt like I had come to my senses by how suddenly I gripped his hand, lightly pushing him away with my other hand.“Ren..” My voice was a tentative whisper as I tried to catch my breath, my heart pounding violently in my ribcage.He seemed confuse

    ASTRID'S POVAbout 30 minutes later of pacing about Lucas's study, he and Landon walked into the room, now wearing clean clothes with their hair still slightly damp from the shower.Landon crossed the room in a few steps and collapsed on the couch beside Logan who had been silent despite being in here with me for the last 30 minutes.“Okay…” Lucas clapped his hand, a small smile on his face.I stopped pacing about and crossed my arms. “Now, where were we? Oh right, the part where I said no”Landon raised a hand almost immediately and Lucas turned to him. “Yes, Landon?”“I say we give her a little shaking” He grinned slightly, his gaze fixed on me.My lips parted slightly in shock and I pointed a finger at him. “Did you just suggest threatening me?” My eyes were wide.He shrugged and looked at Lucas. “C'mon…”Lucas palmed himself across the face and shook his head. “Stop scaring her.” He chided then turned to me. “Look, Astrid. We can get what you want but you'll have to get us what we

    LANDON'S POV“We're done looking, Lucas” I groaned, firmly sticking the tip of my sword into the soft earth.Lucas had his bow in his hand, an arrow nocked in case of any emergencies. We had been scouring around for a few hours and I was already getting bored.The forest was the last place I wanted to be wandering about aimlessly. I wanted some action and I had already scouted around for a full hour but it seemed the unrest that had happened had already scared all the good animals awayㅡ which meant no game.“Let's just…wait..” Lucas looked stressed, his hair matted to his face due to sweat and grime.Yeah, we'd been waiting for about 6 hours. “Look, I'm bored. There is simply no trace, okay? We've looked, can we go?... Before I start getting funny ideas” My gaze darted to the silver hollow guards who were standing a few feet away from us and Lucas traced my gaze.His expression immediately morphed into one of annoyance. “Perish that thought, Landon. They're innocent”I shrugged. “Well

    ASTRID'S POVThis was a terrible idea.I knew that much as I tugged at the reins to the Chestnut brown horse that I had rode.“Haymitch,James… Take the southern border and report here in an hour” Ren ordered the two guards who had accompanied us.They nodded, hit the flank of their horse lightly before riding off to the opposite directionㅡ which meant we were alone.“You're silent” Ren climbed down from his horse in one swift swing of his legs, his hand going out to pat the horse.I did the same, ignoring his heated look to see if I could handle myself. “You haven't given me much material”I gave a quick sweep of the environment, my gaze fixed on the distance. “Doesn't seem like anyone has been around the borders yet” I pointed out.He didn't answer me but I heard dry leaves crunching under his boot as he approached me from behind and almost immediately, my heart rate spiked up.“I think we're…safe then” He mumbled. “So… the triplets, huh? Lucas perhaps?” There was an undertone of sli

    ASTRID'S POV “No” I muttered, rolling over in my sleep, the sheets around my body clinging to me like a vice.I was running againㅡ away from silver hollow. The moon shone like a beacon from high up but barely illuminated the path to wherever I was going to.Where was I going to? One thing was clearㅡ I was running for my life. Each step rhythmic. Filled with fear. A desperate surge for survival.Regardless, it neared. Something loomed behind me, quiet but there, seeming to mock my efforts to get away by how it was always behind me despite my speed.My wolf seemed to desert me and I couldn't amplify my speed anymore, exhaustion began to set in and I tripped over a branch, a whimper escaping my lips as I felt my knee graze against sharp stones.I wasted no time as I scrambled back on my butt, my breathing laboured as I heard footsteps approach from the pitch black forest.It found me.A scream tore from my throat as red eyes came into view but almost immediatelyㅡ“Astrid!” The voice was

    ASTRID'S POVThe silence that followed was defeaning and I opened my mouth to say something but he beat me to it.“You came back with the triplets and suddenly, a foreign thing enters the forest?”I crossed my arms and straightened up. “Yeah, so? You do realize that the triplets live in this same forest, they are not responsible for whatever is in it”Michael looked almost annoyed at my words but he tampered it down with a deep sigh. “Not my point, Miss Miller. Look, all that matters is that something is in this forest and it's not supposed to be there, it's threatening the security that was given to us by the High Lords and goddess. The attack is one thing but with the magical barrier being tampered with? We're going to be fighting a losing battle”There was something about the way he said it that made me instantly start thinking. “Did you tell the Alpha yet?” My mind wandered back to Ren.“Not yet. I want to be sure of this first. Think you could get information on this?” He tapped

  • Claimed By The Lycan Brothers    Chapter 14

    ASTRID'S POV I don't know what I was doing out in the village but I couldn't sit in the quarters and hope to get close to the villagers. Which is why I found myself walking down the road just as the sun had begun to set, casting long shadows across the path. The people cast me glances ㅡ fleeting and discreetㅡ but they quickly went back to packing in their animals and everything for the night before I could lock gazes with them and tell them anything. Oh, still in the game of ignoring people, cool. I should go back but I kept walking until I saw her—an old woman with a hunched back, struggling with a sack nearly her size. She dropped it for the third time, grumbling under her breath. “Here, let me help you,” I rushed over. “No,” she snapped. Her voice was rough. “I don’t need help from you.” Ouch. “I’m not the cursed omega who was banished or whatever you all call me,” I said calmly, reaching down for the sack again. “And even if I was, that thing looks like it’s about t

    LOGAN'S POV“What do you mean the Alpha almost killed her?” Lucas sounded furious as I leaned against the wall in his study.Landon was reclining on the chair, admiring the blade in his hands as he watched the blade catch the sun while he marvelled at it.“I mean… the goblet was with poisoned wine. I just had a flash that she was about to drink it and that was all” I shrugged, pushing myself off the wall.Landon looked up at that, pointing the dagger's tip at me as though it were his finger. “Didn't you say you couldn't use your powers anymore?” He asked skeptically.I couldn't. He was right. What happened today was a glitch…it had to be.“Yeah” I admitted. “I don't know how it happened”Lucas looked at Landon in shock but Landon seemed to be thinking of something else also. My lips parted as I realized the reason behind his hesitance. “No way…” I muttered.A grin spread his lips instantly. “Yeahhh”I scoffed in amazement and strided over to him, my mouth agape as I clapped his should
