It was raining heavily when we came back from the training camp. Just as I envisaged, Nathan dropped me off in front of the house and told me he was going back to the border to see how things were going there.I wanted to beg him not to leave but knowing he has a duty to uphold which would be unfair of me to stop him, I simply nodded and accepted my ugly fate before sneaking my way into the house. I rushed upstairs two at a time, aiming to reach my room on time and hide away, hoping the Alpha doesn't figure out that I have returned from my outing. I succeeded, went to take my bath, and changed into the evening gown that I found hanging on the vanity chair_ meaning Anna had come to my room to check on me. I felt bad I haven’t spent much time with her recently and wished I could. But I needed this training so badly. I needed to become better. I needed to focus on something else that didn’t have to do with Scott or his mother’s stupid idea of competing for the Luna position. I was ab
He cocked his brow to the top of his head, picked up the glass containing a brown substance on the table I hadn't noticed till now, and took a long swig as if I hadn't just dropped a bombshell on him. Is that how he is going to react? No fret, no fury? Nothing? My heart broke. So he truly wanted it? He brought me from my pack to this place for nothing. Just to mock our bond and destroy something so sanctified that the goddess has ordered. The tears that has been threatening were trying to force their way out, but I quickly looked down and willed it back. I am not going to cry for any man anymore. I had already thought about this and know it's for the best. I would rather be without a mate than with one who didn't want me for me but because I might have managed to win a competition to become his trophy Luna.Squaring my shoulders I looked up, expecting him to reject me immediately so I can go on to ask him for a favor concerning my housing, but he wasn't upcoming with it. He was stil
Wandering aimlessly helped me to learn a lot in one night, particularly the vastness of the mansion. I strode to the back of the house where the training ground was located, bending a few corners before I saw it stretched endlessly over the grassy field, with different objects constructed at diverse positions for training. I was stupefied for once, all the anger in me dissipating to be replaced by awe. I went to the Wolf leaper standing at the crossbar and touched it, taking note of the rough exterior. My eyes caught the flicker of the power tester that is used to train young pups to discover their inner strength. It sent jolts of longing wafting through me, wishing I had this chance growing up. Maybe it's not too late. I just need to learn now. For myself, not for anyone or anything. This is just me now against the world, whether I like it or not. It has always been. No one cares about me and if I am waiting for someone to, I might end up dying faster than I had anticipated. The wo
We raced down the hall, our lies having been perfectly constructed. We had all agreed to tell Theresa that I woke up with a terrible headache and was only coming down for the training out of respect for her. It was a lot getting Liam to flow with the lies but he had agreed anyway. However as we neared the stairs, a loud scream tore through the house from down the stairs. "What's that?" Anna asked, increasing her step that soon turned to a run. We joined in, taking the stairs two at a time. The loud voices was coming from the direction of the Omegas quarters, the men's quarters precisely. We arrived in time to encounter Theresa deliver a well-aimed slap on Ashley's face who bent over bawling her eyes out."Mom!" Anna went to block her as she lifted her hand to give her another slap. "What is going on here?"Theresa covered her face with her right hand, her left in her waist. Her very schooled elegance was gone to be replaced by an infuriated expression. She wagged her forefinger at A
The wedding day.I have imagined several ways that my wedding was going to take place. Fairytales that was what I called them. The pink lilies lined up the walks, I even imagined my dog walking down the aisle with me bearing the rings with the revered flower crown adorning his or her furry head. It was going to be a white wedding where everyone wore white same as the decorations.But never in Gods green earth did I imagine that I was going to have a double wedding with the man of my heart and sister from another mother. But more importantly, that Theresa was going to walk beside my mother as they accompany my son and I down the aisle to handle me over to Scott as his wife and Luna.It was my dream come true with a touch of radical goodness. I could never stop my face from gleaming with joy merely looking at Scott standing there in his white tuxedo his face a mask of angelic warmth. And on the other side was Liam and his newly-wedded bride, Aan, their hands entangled as they welcomed
"Congratulations, Emma," Nurse Cherry voiced stiffly, his expression conflicted. "You are three months pregnant. And I must point out the fetus appears quite healthy considering it's only_""What!" My eyes grew as big as saucers, half jolting up from the infirmary bed as his statement registered in my head. "What do you mean I am pregnant? That's impossible!""Yes, young man," My mother who was in the room was beside me at once, fixing the nurse a fierce look. "I thought Doctor Spencer said you are one of his best nurses and yet you couldn't conduct a simple test? What did you learn in medical school?""Luna, here is the result of the test." He handed my mother a white piece of paper which she ogled with squinted eyes hence passing it to me to peruse with a confused expression. One glance and I tossed it back to him."There has to be an explanation for this," I shouted, pointing at the result in his possession. "I can't be pregnant! I am a virgin, do you understand that?" I looked at
"Mistakenly inseminated?" I inquired, frozen to the spot. "What does that even mean?"Her mouth opened and closed like a fish, then she took a deep breath before saying, "This is a willing introduction of sperm into a woman's body usually for the sake of procreation. But in your case, it was a mistake_""Unbelievable!" The Alpha hissed and took a slow stride backwards. "When you are done listening to the rubbish she has to say, you two should meet me at home." He left the room, banging the door after him. That was only when I heaved a sigh of relief. "I am deeply sorry, Emma. I only just realised this a few minutes ago," Dr Spencer admitted and entwined her hands together as she took me in intently, her expression remorseful. My mother didn't say anything but simply stared at her in amazement.Do they understand what they have just done to me? They inseminated me without my permission, what do they want me to do?"Nurse Cherry, kindly wait outside while I speak to the Luna and her d
"I can't believe this," The handsome stranger muttered in exasperation, moving away in the direction of the window where he stood with his hands in his pants pockets staring outside. His lips were in a thin line, obviously not satisfied with the knowledge that a girl like me was carrying his golden baby on top of the fact that I was his mate.Well, duh, it wasn't like I was happy about any of the ideas too. I was still astounded by the manner everything seemed to be unfolding. A mate? I wasn't ready to be anyone's baby carrier not to mention a mate!I just need them to remove, evacuate... whatever terminology they used to remove a baby from someone. Jeez!Dr. Spencer sensing the tension, gave me a charming smile and came around the table to stand beside me, taking my hands in hers and looking me directly in the eyes. "Emma, you must trust me in this. I will handle it." I snatched my hands off. This time it was my turn to move away, letting out a stiff breath. "I am sorry, Dr. Spenc
