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 fro
JoyeThe confusion on the Alpha's face was almost comedic. But I dare not find myself amused else I might meet my end. "What are you saying Kaelan? Can she be mated to two different people at the same time?" He asked in confusion. "I do not know, but I'm certain that she's my mate." Kaelan established once more in confidence."That's nonsense. She was mated to me first, I'm her real mate!" Ethan argued. Never in my life did I ever imagine that Ethan would fight for my custody the way he was doing right now. The old me would have been head over heels for him at this moment. But after the stunt he tried to pull yesterday, I came to finally see him for who he truly was. A disgusting harasser who had no respect for the female gender. "That's enough for now." The Alpha stopped the arguing duo from speaking any further. Then he turned to me and softly he asked. "Do you have anything to say regarding this matter Joye?"I opened my mouth to speak, but another voice interrupted me almost i
KaelanMy lips curled up in a smile after Joye had finished her sentence. It wasn't like I hadn't expected it, the joy of hearing her say it herself was just superior to that of just knowing. "I guess that settles the argument. She is now my mate and I'd love for everyone to please accord her the respect she deserves." I announced as though they hadn't heard Joye's words at first. I was happy to be blessed with a mate. And a fine one at that. One look at her and I could tell that Joye was a good woman. Under the dirt on her face was a beautiful young lady that needed nothing but love. At first, I had been scared, yesterday was the first full moon of the month. And a mate selection ball was held for unmated wolves to find their partners. Mine was unsuccessful, and it had me worried for a bit. But thank goodness that I came to Nightfall Pack. The moon goddess was on my side, and she led me straight to my mate. I was grateful to the moon goddess for her guidance. And the same time gr
JoyeWe both stood in silence while I tried to control the overwhelming emotions building up inside of me. So this was happening. An ordinary slave like me was being mated to the Lycan king. Never in my life did I think one of my daydreams would ever become reality. As we stood waiting for Kaelan's return, I decided to make use of the opportunity and ask his right-hand man some basic questions about the man who is my mate. The two of them seemed to be friends rather than just work companions. If anybody knew anything about Kaelan, it had to be this man. Deciding to speak to Aiden was an easy task, doing the talking was the difficult part. I had no idea how to start my sentence, or how to even pull his attention towards me. He seemed so serious and formal about everything, that I feared he might yell at me if I approached him with the wrong tone and words. Unlike Kaelan, the air around him was denser. He was always on guard at all times, and it made him appear strict despite his all
KaelanI watched as her eyes widened expressively at the sight of the mansion before her. I didn't blame her, not only was it twice the size of the Nightfall Pack fortress, but it was also far more luxurious than her average house. I smiled mildly at her expression before leading her into the main building. Upon arrival, the guards and servants were already situated at their designated posts and were making efforts to make everything about today perfect.I wasn't cruel or anything, one might think differently because of the stiff atmosphere. I just liked to make sure that my dominance was established. Unlike ordinary werewolves who had a grading system that allowed the masses to judge their strengths, Lycans didn't care about that. There was nothing like Alpha, omega, beta, or whatever. The Lycan king was the pinnacle of authority, and everybody else was equal. If I didn't exert my dominance and show off my strength as the prime being, one crazed individual might try to challenge me
JoyeThe golden rays of the sun found their way into my room, and as though recognizing that this was a new chapter of my life, it smiled warmly upon my face. As I rose from my bed, and as I took a conscious breath, I realized that something was different. The air was different. It was lighter and with every breeze, a faint smell of jasmine, encompassed by a stronger scent which I identified to be rose filled the air.It was as though I was seated in a sea of flowers. My spirit felt calm as the delicious smell wafted through my nostrils. Without much convincing, I could tell that today was a good day, the beginning of a new chapter in my life. As I got down from my bed, a knock came to the door. I was almost certain it was Kaelan, but that wasn't the case. Two maids had immediately walked in as though they have been watching me all night, and waiting for me to finally wake."Good morning, my lady." The both of them greeted with a slight bow. I was frozen in shock, surely they weren'
KaelanThe meeting with the Elders had gone almost exactly as I had predicted. It had been about my mate. They had requested an audience with her at that moment, but I declined their request. Joye had just arrived and she needed to rest herself. I wasn't ready to introduce her to the problems of the elders just yet. I had no idea how the Elders got to know about Joye, but I wasn't worried about it just yet. They said they needed to be familiar with their potential queen, but I could tell they had ulterior motives behind their decisions. Whatever they were planning to do, it won't work. And that was why I needed us to get married as soon as possible. Being mates wasn't going to be enough to thwart the plans of the Elders, but marriage might just be enough. With Joye as my wife, I will be able to decline any interaction or schemes they might want to throw at us. Because now she was no longer just my mate, but now part of the family too.I had wanted to bring up the wedding conversatio
JoyeI didn't sleep immediately after Kaelan left, I stayed awake battling with my thoughts, trying to make sense of everything that was going on, and how fast it was happening. Mating ceremonies, weddings, sharing rooms. It was becoming a little bit too much for me to assimilate all at once. I mean, I had just met Kaelan a few days ago. Not to mention that I wasn't fully attached to him as a mate. I did feel a pull towards him, but it was a far cry compared to what I felt for Ethan. Slowly, Kaelan was winning me over, but I couldn't neglect the feeling of my wolf. She was adamant and still insisted that Ethan was her mate and not Kaelan. My inner mind had not been at rest since we were claimed by Kaelan. "But you feel a mate bond with him right?" I asked my wolf just to be absolute with everything. "Yes, a weak one," Rainbow replied curtly. I could sense her suppressed disappointment and anger, and I couldn't blame her. Our life took a swift turn, and we were currently caught in it
