Alison

Who could have known, I thought, watching from the sidelines, at the very back of the crowd, as they cheered for the Alpha’s son and his mate that kissed under the canopy of the large tree in the middle of the compound.

Their happiness didn't take away from the feeling I had within me, the hopelessness, the pain, the abject terror of being the only one who wasn't happy in this joyful event.

The Alpha, heir of the Grey Crescent Pack, my long time crush Logan… and my best friend Selene who turned out to be his mate. And to make this funnier, I wasn't even informed about this until I heard about it in a pack meeting only less than a week ago. Looking at their happiness I could only be filled with bitter resentment.

Selene’s mother, a beautiful woman for her age, was smiling from ear to ear and congratulating the lovely couple, and the Alpha was patting his son on the back as well. What a lovely union of families. Was it just me, or everything seemed too frustrating to look at today?

I turned away, before any of them would spot me. My mother had been the one to force me to come here in the first place, and now i regretted ever taking that decision. Seeing the food and drink overflowing, I picked up one of the numerous bottles of mead at the large table set up for the reception and walked away to a corner where I could get some damned peace of mind.

It wasn't long before I became drunk, sipping the wonderful flowing liquid that was like a balm for my soul. The mead really did flow well, I thought, which somehow sounded so funny in my head that I grinned, before bursting into bouts of laughter.

“My mead flowwwssssss,'' I crooned, thinking of being in a medieval type tavern and dancing around with the love of my life. But not Logan, I sniffed, chuckling mirthlessly. Logan was taken. By my best friend no less.

I sipped some more, not even bothering to pace myself like I had started out wanting to do. I enjoyed the way my stomach burned as the music played and filled the air. It gave it such a sad romantic scene that showed how pathetic I was.

Horrible, Alison. You are horrible, I hiccuped.

“Very horrible,” I heard, and turned around, my brows furrowed as I saw a man standing next to me. He had… completed my sentence? I looked him over a bit even though my vision blurred. He looked like someone I didn't know and who didn't know me. I was happy to know that, but who was he? Was he a figment of my imagination?

“Are you a mind reader?” I asked, standing up from where I had crouched, and then stumbling forward. the floor looked so unstable under my feet for some reason and I raised my arms forward, trying to brace myself but then I somehow landed on a warm body.

“Fuck,” I heard a deep voice curse.Then I felt nausea like i never had before. I couldn't help the way some of my throw up landed on him as I tried to crouch down to let it all out. I was breathing heavily by the time i was done,

And he was still here. I found myself staring up into the sapphire blue eyes known to man. Very angry eyes, I noted, feeling myself stupefied as he grabbed my arm and raised me back up. His arms were around my waist.

I stepped back and flailed, not wanting to be near him, even though he had somehow helped me.

“You’re real,” I gasped out, feeling oddly like a fool. He wasn't a ghost or a figment of my imagination?

“And you have ruined my shirt,” he growled, and boy, the way he did that left shivers down my spine. I tried to sober up, staring at the red stain on his white button down shirt which framed his toned muscles so well…

“I'm sorry,” I muttered. “i didnt… i didnt know…”

“You didn't know?” he chuckled and I felt even worse, wondering why I even came here in the first place. “Why the fuck are you even here getting drunk at a mating ceremony. Are you not happy or do you just have mental issues?”

A choking sob left my throat at his words. Mental issues. Of course. I’m the chick with the mental issues here.

“I’m sorry,” I wailed at him. tears that i had been trying to hold inside suddenly were released and spilled down my cheeks. I sniffled; my nose was blocked and I felt so degraded and hurt and angry.

“I’m sorry… I didn't mean to come here to ruin your day…'' I choked. “I tried to stay away b-but… I couldn't! Stupid! Stupid Alison!'' I berated myself. “I am not happy! I liked him and she knew it! She knew! I thought she was my friend!”

What happened next could only be described as categorically verbal diarrhea. I don't know why but I found myself spilling everything to this stranger who didn't know or care about me in the slightest. But I felt the need to. Why? I didn't know. I just… I just wanted someone to understand for some reason.

And despite my craziness… he stayed and he listened to me.

And when I was done, my throat was tired and all that was left from me were sniffles, I expected laughter, or even mocking words. I knew I would deserve that at this point.

“Get up,” was what I heard instead. I looked up clearly to see his hand reach out to me. “Get up, now.”

I took the hand, standing slowly on unsteady feet. I would have fallen on my ass but instead I ended up leaning on him, my head finding a home on his chest.

I felt his chest vibrate as he huffed.

“Listen, girl, I don't know who you are, but you need to stop feeling sorry for yourself.”

“Alison,” I mumbled. “My name is Alison.”

He chuckled, a low baritone that made something stir within me but I couldn't place that. “Dimitri,” he responded. “and I will be your escort for the evening.”

A giggle left my lips. Escort, he said? It was much too funny to my ears right then.

“Dance with me,” I said to him in a none too pleading tone.

  • The Alpha's Brokenhearted Mate    Epilogue

    "You'll look stunning in red.""Don't you think blue will do?""With a touch of it at the seam"I sat back and stared into the mirror trusting my maid on her judgement, she beamed and ruffled through the pile of dresses she had brought in searching for the particular one that caught her attention earlier."Here, the red dress. I'm sure the alpha won't be able to take his eyes off you when he sees you in it."I looked to the side so she wouldn't see how hard I was blushing but I suddenly remembered. "Is that going to fit? You know..." I gestured solemnly to my bulge, a result of the countless love we made.I was only a few months gone but my belly was protruding sharply my favorite dresses no longer fit. Dimitri gave me no opportunity to sulk, he constantly reminded me how beautiful I was especially now that I was carrying his child. He made sure to shower my belly with kisses and have a long conversation with the foetus. It was funny yet adorable."I informed the tailor of your new si

  • The Alpha's Brokenhearted Mate    Mine At Last

    Chapter 45 The sun would have peaked through the curtains if it wasn't tightly binded. Rainbows and unicorns danced in the air, fairies were crawling with dinosaurs flying. That was my dream, I felt feathery and at peace even in my sleep. I had never slept any better, never forgot my problems faster and never being any happier that the alpha was my mate. I was awake but my eyes were still shut like a dream, the event of last night played like a reel behind my lids. I felt everything at that instance, Dimitri's touch, his kisses all through. Even in the middle of the night I still felt his lips dusting my neck with light kisses. I couldn't believe I was already getting used and addicted to him.Like in the cliches, I expected to lean back into Dimitri's chest but to my disappointment I rolled over instead. This made me blink my eyes open with a sigh. I looked around and sighed again when an empty room greeted me. Dimitri was nowhere to be found but his cologne hung in the air indic

    Chapter 44 Dimitri's point of view"I love you."It was only after I had blurted it out that I realised what I had done. I bit my lips, I had no intention of confessing that instance but she was so cute as she blabbered fearing I was still upset when I had already forgiven her.Allison's eyes widened slightly, she blinked once, twice and again trying to register what I had said.It was my turn to blab now. "I mean, I have long since forgiven you, there's no need to worry yourself or-""I love you too." Allison interrupted. She smiled contentedly and made no move to detach her gaze from mine.My heart swelled, unable to resist, I bent and took her lips in a kiss.I captured her lips with mine, kissing her softly and gently, I dug my fingers deeper into her waist.Allison moaned as she closed her eyes enjoying the way mine lips worked magic on hers. She held my neck and responded with equal passion, her fingers played with the hairs at my nape.I bit her lower lip lightly and nibbled

  • The Alpha's Brokenhearted Mate    I love you

    Dimitri's point of viewI stood at the far end of the bend where I could see the maid clearly. She was slightly nervous at having to talk to the guards but her kind conscience gave her the courage. I heard her speak."The boss demands for your presence." She spoke, her voice shook so subtly only an observant person could pick the change. I watched with hawk eyes as the guards shared glances among themselves and pointed to one of them."We will stay here while he goes"My jaw dropped, indeed these guards were smart. They were sending just one of them which will blow off our facade."She wants you all. I'm supposing it's an emergency." The maid wittily responded staring them dead in the eyes. It seemed to the do the trick, they gave suspicious glances to each other before marching in a line to the direction Tamara could possibly be."Hurry up!" The maid waved at me seeing the guards had disappeared from our view. She gesticulated and pointed to the way towards the dungeon for emphasis a

  • The Alpha's Brokenhearted Mate    To save Alison, Kill Tamara

    Chapter 39Dimitri’s POVNow it was too late for me to go back,that wasn’t even an option for me right now because I knew I was in it already.I was staring blankly at him as his guards rushed onto me to attack me but he stopped them.“Let him be. Who are you?” He asked in a very cold tone.His guard still stood guard like they still wanted to attack me or so.I was looking around. I was searching for something and whatever the guards were trying to play, what is my business for now.All on my mind for now was Allison. She was the only thing I cared about and I wanted to see.“Are you deaf?Or does he have a problem with his earring so I can help him cut it off.” He yelled out in anger.“I am here for Alison.”I yelled out in anger.I knew I was jumping into conclusions because I was still not sure if she was here or not.“I don’t know who bears that name and why are you looking for her here ? Did you see her here? Or what are you trying to accuse me of?” He said walking towards me.I w

  • The Alpha's Brokenhearted Mate    Her News

    Alison's povI didn't know what to do in the dungeons, I didn't know what possible way to escape from this place, I was confused and thought of a way to escape but all I ever did went in vain.I was just so stuck up in this place and was frustrated, I didn't know how I would go about this, I needed to leave this place as soon as possible, I needed to flee away from this god-damned place.I paced to and fro in so much confusion, I was really hoping that I would find a way to get out of this place. Although thinking of a way to escape I felt as though something was wrong I had this odd feeling that something absurd was going on. I mean the entire place was so quiet and looked deserted, and this was something that didn't happen on usuals I mean it was just so not possible.I was in contemplations, as I wondered if something really happened or not, what could actually be the case, why was it that everywhere went silent as though no one lived in the pack.I peeped through the iron bars, a
