MandyOnce again, my father offered them the seat.The omegas rushed to serve some warm tea and coffee for everyone. Although the excitement died down, the meeting still felt like a visit of a close relative. Beta Jake and Beta Leroy seemed to have formed a good relationship.My father tended to the other council members. Most of them were new faces. For sure, it was their first time setting foot on our land. They showed interest and care for the merging of the two packs. It wasn’t just a concealment behind a pretentious smile.It was genuine excitement.Eyes don’t lie. Every council member of the Black Moon pack looked at me with sparkles in their eyes. Their cheeks lifted up every time they glanced at me. The murmurs weren't the ones that made someone uncomfortable. Despite the fact we are all aware of the contract marriage, why was everyone so excited?Am I the only one who feels nothing from this? Even my father showed high spirits talking about the marriage.“Lady Mandy!” a voice
MandyI’m not sure how much time we have until the council from the Black Moon arrives. But just as my father said, I rushed to ascend the stairs to get ready. I went straight to the bathroom to have a quick wash. I don’t wish for any of them to spot a hint of tears on my face.Then I put on some light rush makeup. Enough to cover the trace of tears from my eyelids. A shade of rosy pink color. Then I slammed my closet open. There’s no time to spend a lot on picking. So I pulled out a long casual salmon pink dress with tiny printed lilies on the side.“Well… It's just a normal day. I don’t think anyone would expect me to wear a flashy dress,” I whispered to myself.I combed my hair in a swift second, just enough to straighten my messy hair from earlier. Then I heard loud commotions downstairs.“It must be Beta Leroy and the other councils.”I ran from my room, forgetting to shut the door. While descending the stairs, I saw Dad with the rest of his council, all ready. He took a glance a
MandyI carried my heavy heart all the way to the mansion. At last, after years of walking in this life together, our journey finally ended. This could be the last time our eyes would meet. It was mashing me inside. In silence, I battled everything on my own feet. It was exhausting. I almost lost myself from endless doubts and silent cries. I no longer had enough to spare for Matthew. I gave everything so regrets didn’t fill my heart.As soon as I closed the door, a wave of tremendous pain crushed against my chest. I thought it was over. I almost choked from the pain inside my throat. Tears almost jumped out from my eyes. The strength of my knees almost left until I heard rushing footsteps come to the doorway.“Dad…” I whispered as soon as I saw him.Our eyes met. We stood in silence, gazing at each other. No words were heard. But my father’s face was like an open book written clearly on the pages of a new book.His eyes, the trembling of his lips, the fidgeting of his fingers. I was
MandyThird day since Matthew came. I could barely live the day normally. My father told me everything. It never crossed my mind even once that Matthew would be desperate enough to declare such a move. He told everyone that he would never leave until we talked. At first, no one believed him. Or should I say, nobody cared. I was the only one who understood the weight in his words.I thought Claire was the only thing that mattered to him. The thoughts stirred up crazily in my head. I was at war with myself.“I don’t think he will leave. It’s been 3 days, Mandy. You have to do something,” Leyva exclaimed in my head.I know! It’s not that I don’t know him at all. I could hardly contain myself staying in the mansion. A part of me wanted to run to the gate to knock on his hard head.It’s over!I walked back and forth to the Alpha home office. Time could hardly move. I was getting so impatient that I almost called the head omega to deliver a word to him.Were they fighting again?My heart ra
Matthew“That’s enough boys.” The trackers lost the amber yellow on their eyes. They turned around and a man was approaching the gate from the mansion.The two quickly bowed their heads in respect. “I see… it’s you.” He said calmly as he locked those cold eyes on me. “Forgive us, Alpha Marcel. But this bastard doesn’t want to go despite our warnings.” “It’s alright. You may leave for now. I will handle this.” The trackers without any complaints bowed again and left the two of us. The other one threw another deathly glare as he walked away. “What do you want?” he asked. “Alpha Marcel!” I exclaimed while holding the steel bar gate that separates us. I called out to him like I was a criminal pleading for my case. “Please let me in. I have to see Mandy.” I waited for him to move an inch. I waited to see if he’s going to let me in or at least tell me about Mandy. But all I got was a deep breath. With that, I realized he wouldn’t let me in too. My tensed shoulders loosened. Those t
MatthewMy heart pounded swiftly along with the loud engine of my black panther. I drove like a madman, leaving some tire marks on the road. I could hear some horns blowing ceaselessly behind me as I passed them.“Out of my way!” I aggressively turned the steering wheel to the left to avoid a white slow-moving car driving like he was on the way to a camping trip.The horn blew rapidly to inform me how much of a jerk I am on the road. But their horns didn’t even ring in my ears. I stepped on the accelerator like a bunch of cops were chasing me.All of this was because of the shattering news I heard from my mother.“This can’t be real…” I whispered, my jaw tensed inside the car.The rapid beatings of my heart couldn’t even match my car engine. The unsettling sound it produced made me want to fly just to reach the Snowridge pack.Getting into an accident, damaging my expensive car, receiving a violation ticket, pissing off everyone on the road — none of it mattered.All I cared about was
