I was insignificant!

Joye

"Mate?" I wondered in my head. Surely this man had mistaken me for someone else. Just yesterday I had confirmed that Ethan was my mate, and now this? A lowly omega like myself couldn't probably be able to pull two mates. Or could I?

"Stop it!" I yelled at myself mentally. I was head over heels for myself and was losing touch with reality. This was all just one clumsy mistake. Very soon this man will see me for what I'm truly worth, and in no distant time will disregard me, just like everybody else.

"Mate? That's impossible." It was Ethan who spoke this time. If I didn't know better, I would have said he was being defensive about this whole thing. Why the hell would he care? He never wanted me to be his mate, so why on earth was he trying to go against this stranger's claims?

Although I had no idea who this man was, and my eyes were far too weak to comprehend his looks clearly, I wanted him to take me away from this place. Don't judge me, I understood he was a stranger, and from his scent, he was far superior to the wolves here. If anything, he could turn out to be worse than them. But I would take the risks.

"What do you mean impossible? There's no way my senses could be mistaken. I'm certain, she's my mate." The confidence in his voice was almost compelling. If the others hadn't been there last night at the revelation, they probably would have taken his words to be the truth.

"It's impossible because she's my mate!" Ethan yelled out. Was this a dream? Two powerful men fighting over me. If the pain in my body didn't sting every passing second, I would have mistaken this to be one of my numerous daydreams.

"Your mate?" Came a question from the confused stranger, in whose arms I was currently getting comfort. "Didn't you tell me that girl was your mate?" He asked, with a finger casually pointed at Aurelia.

"You seem to be mistaken, I never confirmed your question myself."

I had no idea what went down between them, but I could already imagine that Aurelia must have lied to this stranger about being mated to Ethan.

"It doesn't matter Ethan, let him take her. We can finally be rid of her for good." Aurelia suggested, but I knew from one glance that Ethan wasn't on board with that plan. I had no idea what he wanted me for. He didn't like me, so why on earth was he fighting so hard for my custody? All he wanted to do was to make me his sex toy, but I'd rather escape with this man than give in to his lustful desires.

"She's a nuisance anyways," Aurelia added. In a flash, I was laid carefully on the floor, and in the next moment, Aurelia was pinned to the wall by the stranger. His rage was visible, and if Ethan hadn't intervened, he definitely would have harmed Aurelia.

"That's enough from you." He cautioned. "Trash like you aren't permitted to speak a foul word against my mate. Insult her one more time, and I'll feed your corpse to the vultures."

He was serious, everybody in the room could tell that much.

"You're mistaken. king Kaelan, Joye here is Ethan's mate. Could it be you've sensed wrongly?" It was the Luna speaking this time. For someone who had physically harassed me, and thrown me into jail just last night, she appeared almost angelic. I always thought she was one of the good people in this pack. But yesterday taught me otherwise.

"My senses aren't wrong. I am sure that Joye here is my mate."

'Kaelan...' I made a mental note of his name before another figure entered the room, the Alpha was here.

"What's with all the commotion?" He inquired, but as soon as he saw that Kaelan was here, he soon forgot about the drama and proceeded to welcome the stranger, who I now knew was a king.

"King Kaelan, you're here. How was your trip?" The Alpha asked. I was surprised he said nothing concerning the presence of a dirty maid in front of his guests. He had seen me but didn't show any regard for my existence. Unlike the others, I sensed no hostility coming from him.

"It was a good journey. I'm happy to have entered the gates of this pack." Kaelan answered with a slight bow. He was younger than the Alpha, but still, he was respected like an equal. I knew he was a king, probably from another pack. But to be treated like this, especially by this despicable pack, revealed that he was somebody that shouldn't be messed with.

"That's good to hear, shall we have dinner now?" The Alpha suggested and Kaelan nodded in affirmation. Now that everyone was leaving for dinner, I picked myself up from the ground and quickly made for the exit. I was already prepared for my punishment for causing such drama. But before I could take further steps from my initial spot, a firm, yet gentle grip restrained me.

"I'd love for her to come with us to dinner," Kaelan suggested much to the surprise of everyone.

I could see the rage on Aurelia's face, and Ethan was already green with envy. The Luna had a disgusting stare in her eyes, but the Alpha remained indifferent. I wanted to believe he was acting, but again I sensed no hostility from him. How could such a good man end up having a cruel family?

The room was massive when compared to the regular dining rooms I've seen. And the opulence within did well to represent the wealthy persona that Nightfall Pack had built up over the years.

The rectangular glass table took up little of the space, and the polished wooden chairs were completely covered by thick yet soft fur. From one glance, I could tell that this was an exclusive spot for royalty. People like me weren't even supposed to lay eyes on this type of good life.

The food was already laid out on the table, and it was an all-you-can-eat buffet. I was scared, was I supposed to join these people at the same table, and eat from the same plate as them?

While the others spent time serving themselves, I just sat down without moving an inch. I shouldn't act out of line, or I might be killed.

Now I was mad at this stranger, he was only making life more difficult than it already was. I couldn't imagine the type of punishment that I would undergo after all this was over.

"Here, eat." Kaelan offered me a plate. My eyes darted around the room trying to find the judging eyes of my enemies. But Kaelan stopped me. "Don't pay attention to anybody, just eat."

I was starved. I hadn't even had water to drink since last night. And in no distant time, I was done with the contents of my plates. Seconds later, Kaelan dished me another serving, and I ate it up without regard to the stares of the others. If this was going to be my last meal, then it was best to savor every last bit of it.

When dinner was over, Kaelan and the Alpha got lost in some important conversation I couldn't follow. And throughout that period, I had my head hung down to avoid eye contact with anybody.

That was until I felt a gentle hand on my shoulder.

"I'd love to take her home with me." Kaelan proposed to the Alpha who seemed to be in disarray because of his choices.

"Ohh, has one of my servants caught the king's eyes? As long as she is fine with it. I find it lovely that the king finds the maidens of this pack to be beautiful."

“What are you saying Father?” Ethan’s question came, and the Alpha raised his head from his food confusedly.

I could already tell the Alpha's reasons for accepting that proposal. Nobody had informed him about the drama earlier, and he was still in the dark about everything.

"Why so? The Lycan king wants her. Do you want to incur the wrath of the Lycan king?."

“But she is my mate, Father,” Ethan clarified. And this time, the Alpha's eyes widened expressively, as the colors drained from his face.

“I presume you are making one of those jokes again.” Kaelan’s voice came, and in contrast to the smile that danced on his lips, his aura was intimidating. “Have we not already established that Joye is my mate? And that I don’t want you spilling that trash?”

At that moment, I was confused. My eyes shuffling between everybody seated on the table.

But that wasn’t the issue.

They were talking about me, who I was mated to, and I who I should be with, and no one had even asked me anything.

Where and who exactly I wanted to be with and who I wanted?

Was I that insignificant?

It was definitely me rating myself again. Aurelia and Ethan had always been right.

My takes on things mattered less, and with the life I was born into, I could only get tossed to where the wind blows.

Beautiful.

  • Rejected, then Claimed by the Lycan King.   Alvin

    Joye A month had passed since the events of the red moon, and so far everything has been peaceful. Damages around the Kingdom were being repaired, and the Lycans and my people have reached a mutual agreement to not indulge themselves in war again. As the leader of our respective clans, Kaelan and I had been the ones who reached this agreement, and the others had complied. Both clans suffered casualties, and nobody wanted to feel the pain of losing a loved one ever again.A memorial was held for the soldiers that had fallen in battle, and their families were compensated. Although the destruction this time was mild, we all knew that everybody wouldn't survive. It was a tough problem to deal with, but thankfully we were able to pull through and stop a century old curse from wiping out good people.After the night was over, the elders had all visited me to apologize. I never really cared about them, but I still accepted their apology. We weren't friends, and I certainly wouldn't involve

  • Rejected, then Claimed by the Lycan King.   Peace at last!

    JoyeIt was just as I had expected, not everyone of the infiltrators had listened to the man from earlier who I had learnt his name to be Luke. Out of the six infiltrators, two had remained adamant and continued to cause chaos in the mansion. As the only person who stood a chance against them, I had to intervene. Once again I had left regaining my strength to protect everyone in the castle, and fighting two people at once was no easy task. The little strength I managed to regain I had lost once more and time was quickly running out. There was barely thirty minutes before everything ended. If I failed to break the curse within these last minutes, then everything and the deaths would be for nothing. My strength wasn't fully restored yet, but I couldn't waste anymore time. Aiden and the others were waiting for me, I couldn't keep them waiting any longer than this. I got down from where I was, and took a deep breath, it was now or never, I couldn't risk failing a second time. "Let me

  • Rejected, then Claimed by the Lycan King.   My Faith in them.

    Kaelan"She failed?" I gasped just before I decapitated another adversary. A man from Aiden's unit had just informed me that Joye's first attempt to break the curse had not been successful, and she was yet to return to try a second time. We had barely thirty minutes until the red moon falls, and if she didn’t manage to break the curse within those thirty minutes, then we were doomed to repeat this experience in the next two years. I was already back in my human form due to exhaustion, and I was losing more strength as I fought off the unending horde of opponents. Although we had managed to keep casualties on our side to the minimum, most of us were already out of energy. This last thirty minutes would be the determining factor of this entire situation."I'm sure she's going to make it." I voiced out to the messenger's hearing. "Tell Aiden and the rest to keep guarding the place, I trust Joye, she won't back away so easily." I ordered while holding off the crowd from approaching the m

    Joye I had no idea who sounded the alarm, but I recognized that scream very well. It was Olivia's voice, I had no idea what had happened to her, but I was certain she wasn't doing well. "You need to rest, she's not important. You need to conserve your energy in order to face Azira." Rainbow advised. She had read my thoughts. I wanted to rush out to save Olivia, but Rainbow had reminded me just how much I hated Olivia. Wasting my energy on people like her wasn't worth it.Countless times Olivia had shown just how much she despised me, and I still had no idea why she hates me so much. I wanted to blame it on the fact that I was different from her and the rest, but I knew her hatred went beyond just being different. "She's Kaelan's sister, I have to help her." I said, but Rainbow wasn't on board with that decision."Save her then what? Waste your recovered energy on another fight? If you leave this room you're going to run into an enemy. And once you run into one, you'll be forced to

    JoyeI sat on the podium that tormented my every nightmare, the same podium where Azira had been burnt. I could feel her energy all around me, but I chose to focus on completing my task rather than focusing on a dead woman. She had caused pain for these people, and needed to be stopped at all cost. The red moon had already risen, all I needed to do was end the curse on time and help the Lycans regain their strength. This was a do or die situation, failure was not an option.I savored the flow of power in me. The pure energy that flowed from the air and nature around me. This was purification, the air around me was being purified and soon the kingdom will be as well. This curse has harmed a lot of innocent families and stolen happiness away from them. I was going to restore the peace these people once had and stop this curse once and for all. I was almost at the climax of power when suddenly the flow stopped, my body suddenly began feeling unwell and for some reason. I felt pow

    KaelanEvery passing second felt like a torturous hour to me. Only twenty four more hours were left until the red moon fully rose in the sky. In a few hours my people would be torn apart by the demons that hunt us every two years. Joye was our only hope, if she failed to break the curse tomorrow night, then we were all doomed. A handful of the enemies had already made it past the borders, and although we had managed to capture a lot of them, there were still some that were in the kingdom waiting for the right time to strike. It didn't matter how much we fortified our borders, the enemies always found their way in. It was something that was beyond our control, but that didn't mean that we would just leave the gates open for them to jump inside all willy nilly. The fear in my heart was persistent, but I chose to have faith and trust in Joye. Even though everybody doubted her, my trust in her remained unwavering. She had trained from morning till night, the least I could do to acknowle
