I blinked my eyes, trying to get used to the bright light that was streaming from the window blind. I successfully opened my eyes after several tries and was greeted by the dull painting of my room.I groaned on the bed, feeling my head alight with pain. Something was different, but I couldn't exactly pinpoint what it was. But everything was just different.Maybe it was the way Lucas' scent was saturated in the room; it literally filled everywhere, like he had been staying here all day.I rolled across the bed till I got to the edge, and I placed my legs gingerly on the floor. I tested their strength to see if they could support me, and they could.I stood up slowly and made my way to the bathroom to relieve myself. I washed my hands after I had done my business. From there, I proceeded to wash my face, and I padded out of the room after I was through, back to my room.Someone, whom I assumed was Lucas, had changed me into shorts and a shirt. Just then, my stomach rumbled, and I looke
Lucas was able to get me to see reasons why we should merge the pack, and I agree. I had already relayed the information to the pack. At first, they were sceptical about it, not knowing how to behave towards these new intruders. But as words passed around and the date kept drawing near, the excitement began to increase. Everyone had an individual reason for being happy. The nurses and warriors who had been previously sent to the other pack during the exchange were very excited about the news. They could finally see their families without having to get permission to go across the border. While the pack was excited about the possibilities and exposure I would bring. Imagine two powerful packs merging to become one; we would easily become the most powerful and unstoppable pack on the continent, rivaling even the best pack on the continent. I was happy for all those things, but nothing could be compared to the fact that I would get to spend every waking moment with my mate. I was ove
I have always known I was going to be the Alpha, even at a tender age. I mean, if it helps, my dad is the Alpha, and I am his firstborn, so it automatically goes to me. But no, it wasn't only because of that reason. I have always been treated as one since I was a baby. Whenever we walk by, people bow their heads in obeisance. I had begun to follow my dad to his meetings right from an early age. My mother wasn't in support of it; she believed that a child should do children's things. They should have fun and play with friends. But my dad was of the opposite belief. He believes that leaders aren't born; they are made. And it is best to start on time. So, despite my mother's fear, he took me everywhere he went so I could learn. And frankly speaking, I enjoyed it. Because of that, I grew very close to my dad; I was the typical daddy's girl. While my brother was in my room doing whatever he liked, I was with my dad, watching him train or training to my own capabilities. I basically f
PastI was 19 years old when I met him. I had just taken over the pack not too long ago, and I was still learning the ropes. I was a young, hot-blooded lady ready to work.I was having a bad day already. I got scolded by my dad about something, and it made my mood plummet. I didn't like disappointing my dad, hence the reason I was angry.And at the time, my twin and my best friends were not around to cheer me on. They were in school, having opted to go to the university close to us. But I decided I was going to take online classes. I barely had time for myself, and I wasn't going to add physical classes to it…I needed to punch something, so I decided to hit the gym to cool off. I packed my gym bags and changed into my gym clothes. As I got to the training center, I saw some groups of teenagers training in the wide compound, and I smiled. Some years back, my mother made self-defense classes compulsory, and I must say, it has been helpful."Alpha." The people greeted me as soon as they
"What? What did you just say?" Liam asked, his voice raising a tad bit."I said I think I just found my mate." I repeated it, this time slowly, so his brain could catch up."Seriously? Who is the lucky one?""Isn't it obvious?" I asked, rolling my eyes. Liam could be a little slow sometimes. "The man that bumped into me earlier." I said, now getting tired of his numerous questions. I just wanted to relieve the memory again and soak everything up."Woaw, that is crazy. What are you going to do about it?""I don't know. Nothing probably." I replied with uncertainty."What do you mean by nothing? This is your mate, for crying out loud!" He exclaimed like I didn't know."I don't know, okay. I don't know; it just happened suddenly, and I don't know if I am ready for this." I answered truthfully.He looked at me and sighed, taking pity on me. "You poor baby. I can understand. You know what? I will give you time to adjust to all this. Just use today and think about it."I nodded; that was wh
Maya had said I should try to get to know him, so I will try to do that. But for now, I will just go about my business. As of now, only Liam knows the truth about us, and I would like it to remain that way until I decide what to do about it."Decide to do about it?" Maya asked. "Don't you want him as a mate?""I don't know Maya; he isn't exactly as I pictured my mate to be. Have you seen his face? He is handsome, but in a cute way, and he looks way too adorable. I don't know if he can handle me and all the baggage that comes with being with me." I must say that I was a little bit disappointed to learn that my mate was just a mere pack warrior. I mean, can the goddess do any better?But he is my mate, and I can't reject him, so I will try to get to know him. But the day ended, and I made no effort to get to know him; although it wasn't my fault, he also didn't try to reach out to me. So I would say it is even.And so it continued until it was a week, and neither of us had made any ef
Vincent had scheduled Sunday for our date, and my mood was all over the place. I have been counting down the days to Sunday, marking each day that goes by on the mini table calendar that is on my desk.Today being Thursday, I just have to endure another two long days before I get to see him again. I was still yet to inform my family that I had found my mate; otherwise, they would be pressuring us to complete the mating ceremony so he could start assisting me.But I don't want that for Vincent; I wanted him to get used to the fact that he was going to be an Alpha's mate and slowly ease him into his responsibilities. I wouldn't want to force everything down his throat and risk him running away. Therefore, I will still keep my mouth shut.Time seems to have dragged so slowly that even a snail could compete with it and win. It was as if the universe knew I was waiting for Sunday to come and was trying to punish me.It was finally Saturday, and I couldn't be any happier. I had already left
"Jasmine?" I heard the familiar voice call, and I froze. It is what I have been trying to avoid. Now it has become inevitable. I glanced at my mom, begging her with my eyes not to sell me out, while I was trying to hatch an escape plan. If I walked fast enough, I could run away through the back door before he got inside."Don’t even think of it, Jaz. I know that you are in there and that you are already plotting an escape plan." The voice boomed from outside; it was getting closer, and if I wanted to escape, I needed to do it now."Dad," I called out as I saw him. "Fancy seeing you here." I was inching back little by little so I could escape."I should be telling that to you. This is my house, and I have every right to be here. Now, you young lady, what are you doing here? And where are you going all dressed up like this?" He said, eyeing my outfit from head to toe."I just want to go out and relax; you know that leading a pack isn’t as easy as it seems. I have always wondered how you
