Alison
The floorboards of my bedroom would have creaked more when I walked over it for the fiftieth time that night, had it not been covered by my well-worn blue carpet.
Dimitri Tulsi… was that his name, I wondered as I continued pacing the length of my room that evening, feeling like I had gotten myself in the trouble of a lifetime. No matter how much I tried to brush off the fact that it certainly could not be true, it was hard for me to decide that when all I was thinking of was how damn unlikely it would be for this to be another coincidence. This was not just possible, right?
I( exhaled sharply, and shook my head, before I jolted at the sound of my mother’s knocking.
“DInner, Alison,” she called before I heard her footsteps leaving my door.
“Coming,” I shouted back at her, before sighing again and moving to the bathroom to relieve myself before I went down for dinner. Who my mate’s identity was would have to wait for another day.
The dinner was steak and mashed potatoes, my mother’s favorite. I thanked her for the meal and began to eat slowly this time. I had been hungry due to not finishing my breakfast this morning, and had been too deep in thought to go down for any snacks for lunch.
“Alison,” my mother’s tone was odd as I took a sip of water. I looked at her as I dropped the glass.
“Hmm? What is it?” I asked her. She looked a bit concerned.
“Where’s the bracelet?”
“Huh?” I tried to understand what she was talking about until I realized. My father’s bracelet. It was his when he was a warrior and it was my only memento from him after his passing. I always wore it in my left hand.
“Huh?” I looked down at my left hand in question , but instead of seeing the leather braided cord bracelet I always wore, I saw nothing but my pale skin.
Oh no.
I felt dread.
Where had it gone?
I began to furiously think of the last time I saw it on my wrist. It had to be… before the mating ceremony.
Oh no, I thought, dread pooling in my gut for the third time that day.
I couldn't have… left it in that house, could i? In that man’s room? In my mate’s room?
I dropped the spoon abruptly,. standing up and running up the stairs to grab my jacket.
I had to get that bracelet. It was vital for me. It had so many memories, so many things I had done just to get my mother to let me keep it… I couldn't have lost the only link I had to my father.
In quick steps I left the house and made my way down the street to the most prominent house in the pack compound - the Alpha's home.
The guards were standing in front of the door as always. I stopped, wondering how I should approach them now.
“Um, hi.” I tried to sound casual to the night guard as I tried to get a small peek inside the house. The guard frowned at me. I bit my lip, wondering how to go about this. Would I be able to enter without having to see Selene and/or DImitri? “Please can i… I mean, I need to go inside. Can i?" The guard looked a little less friendly than he had been before and my hopes fell.
“No,” he said, and I put on a mournful look.
“Please,” I begged the guard. “I need to get something I lost in there two nights ago. I’ll be in and out within five minutes. Please”
“The Alpha and his guests are busy eating dinner,” The guard said. it didn't have the intended effect on me that he hoped for, I smiled.
“Really? That makes it easy then,” I said with my tone of appeal. “Please let me in. I know it’s a little bit of a risk, but it’s only going to be for a minute. Look at me. Do I look harmful? I'm soon to be Luna's friend.”
it seemed saying those last, desperate words made the guard look at me again and this time he had a considering look on his face.
“Fine,” he finally said and the joy I felt couldnt be expressed in words. “Five minutes. In and out. You hear me?”
“Thank you, thank you,” I said repeatedly, and I gave him a thumbs up as he opened the door for me.
The entrance was lit in a golden glow of the light of the chandelier. I liked it. It looked majestic. Shaking my head, I tried to remind myself what I came here for. My father’s bracelet.
Very quietly, I crept up the stairs and tried to keep my face hidden as I moved. I heard sounds of dinner being eaten - the clinking of places and some voices talking. I even heard Logan’s voice, and I hoped Selene was just as occupied and not somewhere upstairs. It took a little bit of time but soon I deduced which door had to be his. Hopefully I could be in and out before anyone saw me.
I knocked lightly, before whispering, “:Hello? Dimitri?”
No answer came, to my relief. He was downstairs like the rest of them.
I entered the room, and was glad to see it was truly empty.
It was as if the odds were in my favor, and I thanked the goddess for that. But before I went on thanking her, I needed to find this bracelet before someone realized I was in the house.
“where are you? Where are you?” I muttered to myself, my eyes darting to and fro. I didn't spot it until my eyes landed on the desk. There it was!
I rushed over to it, happy to find that it was safe and sound. It was the only memento I had of my father. There was no way I would be able to go on if I didn't have it with me.
I had just barely grabbed the bracelet which was sitting on the corner of the desk, when I heard the door open.
Shit, shit, shit… I cursed over and over in my head. He was here. Or at least, someone was. What should I do? I couldn't move; I froze. it was like all my muscles had stopped agreeing to move. And now I was alone, facing however it was coming in.
“Oh goddess,” I whispered as my eyes met his sapphire blue ones.
“You,” he said. and I knew it was all over.
I had been caught by my mate.
ALISONI was shocked to see Dimitri standing by the door, his eyes fixed on me. I stood like a caught thief, my heart was beating against my chest. What am I going to say to him? How will I explain things to him now?But then I had to compose myself and act like the thief I ain't. I won't call this stealing, I was actually taking what belongs to me. He had my bracelet, and I can't let him have it for long. I needed it back."What are you doing?" He asked in his deep voice."Nothing. Just taking what belongs to me. But don't worry, I was about to leave when you walked in." I walked past him but he was quick to grab my hand, pulling me back."You aren't just leaving like that, are you?""Look, I was actually leaving before you stopped me." I said, sounding a bit rude but this dude won't let go off me.He looked at my hand and found my bracelet, he smiled. "I see.""I need it back." I blurted."Wasn't gonna say no. But you know, pretty girls like you shouldn't be stealing.""I wasn't ste
ALISONI walked to the kitchen, pouring myself a full glass of water. I gulped it all down, sighing heavily. I poured myself another glass but not as full as the first time. I drank to the quantity I could, pouring the remaining in the sink. I returned the glass cup back to the cupboard.I returned back to the sitting room to find Selena unmoved from the couch she was sitting. She shouldn't be here, she should be in her home or probably with her newly so-called found mate. "You shouldn't be here." I said, less reluctant about her presence."Can we talk?" "Talk?" I scoffed. "I don't think I wanna talk to any one now, especially not to you." I stated."Ariana, I'm so sorry." She apologized."Sorry?! You're so sorry? After every thing you did to me, you're telling me sorry? For what exactly? For me to say yes and pretend like nothing ever happened? No way is that happening.""Ariana, I didn't mean to hide it from you. I wanted to tell you about Logan and I but I couldn't, I felt like y
ALISONI groaned as I woke up. My head hurts from the cries of last night. I went to look at myself in the mirror, my eyes were dark red and sore, the feelings ain't good for a morning like this. I noticed one thing in me this morning, I feel empty like nothing happened in my life and I wish life could be fair to me just this way for the rest of my existence.I walked into the bathroom for a quick brush and shower, stepping out with a towel tied around my chest and hair. I picked a jean shorts knicker which reached to my knee and a white shirt with black stripes on it, heading downstairs to see if mother was done with breakfast. She always made breakfast before I woke up.I was shocked to see Logan in my home. But I was so distracted by the aromatic smell of the food on fire, and I wanted to check what it was my mother was cooking. Unlike before, whenever I see Logan, I'd begin to feel this butterfly feeling in my belly, like I've been ignited or some thing.But today, I feel normal s
Episode 9Alison PovThe man left and my attention was drifted to Alpha Dimitri talking with some of the Alpha's of neighborhood packs and respected Elders of the packs.The way he speaks, his confident and the softness in his voice is just so unique, yeah I feel nothing for him, I obviously didn't like him, but I felt the warmness in him after since I opened up about my heartbreaks and how Logan chose to not our break my heart beyond repair but to also throw away each broken pieces in the deepest part of the ocean.The guts he had when he came looking for his so called mate in my house, like don't he feel remorseful at all? I even felt stupid for crying over a guy like him, he was so worried about his mate while I was so worried someone like him...so pathetic of me.Though I came with the intention to talk to Alpha Dimitri, at least to thank him for not seeing me as pathetic but then seeing how serious he got talking with the Alpha's, I decided to leave, I turned to leave when I hear
*Allison POV*I don't know why I was even defending him but it's my mate we are talking about."And who involved you in it, just look at you, why don't you just mind your business, nonsense." The first lady said."Wow really? Okay I will mind my business by reporting you to the Alpha, I'm sure he can't wait to hear what two of his stupid subjects to whom he was protecting all through talks about him." I threatened, at first they looked confident but now they looked scared."You don't have to do that." They both replied with a pleading eyes."If you know what's good for you, shut up and get out." I half yelled.They quickly stood up."Exactly what I expected, small rats." I hissed and they left.Now good, time to focus on this meeting, maybe be is going to announce his mate bound in the meeting, I'm sure that's it, if not why would he gathered such a huge crowd for a meeting.The Meeting finally started, it was something I was waiting for all the time."Greetings to you all, I'm so gla
Everyone just laughed like I'm just some kind of a psychopath, what's funny to them, they were laughing and pointing hands, and worse of it the subjects were laughing too, maybe I was stupid for talking without understanding anything, I shouldn't have let my curiosity get the better of me.Tears fell down from my eyes, I wish the ground could open and swallow me but that wish can only remain a wish, it can never be true, out of the crowds I noticed Selene and logan seated among the crowds, great that both of also sees me, I'm sure they will now be happy to see how worthless and useless everyone see me as.Alpha Dimitri's eyes were fixed on me, yeah, he is also disappointed, I'm sure he can't wait to tell me how stupid I am, how excited he is that I haven't accepted his mate stuffs, he will reject me immediately, that will be good, my life Worth nothing anyways."You think you are what? A super hero woman? Someone worth something? You could have just stay at home, I'm sure your parent
What was happening? It felt like I was living in my worst nightmares. With tears in my eyes, I staggered backwards and my hand flew to my mouth. The alpha just made things worse for me. I didn't ask for this, fod Goddess's sake! "Wh- why?" I managed to say, before I ran away, storming off to one of the rooms upstairs. I couldn't just take it any longer. How could he just tell everyone like that? No! When I got to a room in his house, I pushed the door and jumped on the bed, burying my face in a pillow as I did that. Oh no, no, no! I continued chanting in my head, as I hit my legs on the bed. Tears continued running down my face and I just couldn't control them. Soon, I started hearing bangs on the door and without anybody telling me, I just knew who that was; Alpha Dimitri. "Leave me alone!" I screamed with my face still buried into the pillow. I knew that he wouldn't hear me, but I didn't care. I just wanted to be alone and that was it. "Alison! Open the fucking
After the little walk in the field that I had with selene, I felt much better than I felt when I was in the meeting. I just wanted to leave his pack house and go back to my house, but when I told Selene, she told me to stay and wait for the meeting to be over. The fact that I had to stay for that, was so depressing, but having the guts to walk back in there was even more depressing With Selene's hand in mine, I slowly walked back to the meeting. When I entered, I felt everyone's eyes on me and I instantly felt like entering the ground. It sounded like an exaggeration, but that was how I really felt. I gulped down and looked around, until my eyes settled on Dimitri's. He blinked at me and I did the same. Even with the way I walked out on him, he didn't look like he was angry in any way. My lips curved into a small smile and he looked away from me. He didn't return it. My lips stretched into a thin line and I went to stand at a corner, far away from everyone. About
