My eyes bolted open the minute I felt someone’s lips on mine. I narrowed my eyes, wondering who it was—only to open my eyes fully, finding that same male that Merida claimed was our second-chance mate. For a moment, I stare into his brown eyes which are warm. He seemed too bright for his own good.
I got into my senses when I discovered we’ve been staring at ourselves for a long period of time. I immediately blinked at him in total dismal. But it seemed like he was not having it. My petite hands directed to my lips, focusing on him. He just kissed me! “D-Did y-you just kiss me?” I asked, furrowing my brows at him. I expected him to reply he didn’t. Instead, he lifted me by the collar of my shirt, pulling me up as if I was some kind of lifeless entity.
“W-Wh- “I tried to say but he interrupted that instant.
“You,” he started off, staring at me so intensely. “Why are you so keen to end your life?” He asked fully. His voice was a deep and authoritative voice. So dominating and powerful. In fact, he had the aura of an Alpha.
“That’s none of your business,” I retorted at him with a scowl on my face. The Alpha made a brutal growl, sparing me a glance. “Now, listen good. I am your Alpha and mate so whatever you do is my business. Are we clear on that?” he stated, asking me. I didn’t bother replying because of what was definitely coming next. I wanted him to hasten it up so it’d not hurt like Beta Devin’s which tore me apart till now.
“If you want to reject me, Alpha. Do it now, I understand that a low-life Omega like me is not suitable for you.” said I, lowering my eyes to the ground. He let go of my collar that minute, The Alpha took my petite hands in his large ones. The next thing I noticed was that he intertwined it, raising it to his mouth and pecked it softly. My wolf purred in pleasure but I couldn’t believe what was happening.
Was this some sort of tradition in his pack, when someone wanted to reject his mate?
He left me confused, as I stared at him without knowing what to say again. I closed my eyes tight when he eventually opened his mouth to speak. It was nothing I haven’t experienced before so it couldn’t be that bad, could it? “State your name and your pack,” he ordered with a really tight grin on his features. I batted my lashes gazing at his chest which was at my face level.
“Celeste from Moon Ravage pack.” I responded. Our nearness was intoxicating me and I wanted to stay far away from him so I’d get used to the oncoming rejection. “Celeste, I am Alpha Killian of Fangs Clan pack. Why do you think I’d reject you?” he asked me. My heart beat immediately thudded fast at how he pronounced my name. I had always dreamed of my mate being so loving and caring. I wanted him to take me far away from my pack who misunderstood me. Then, we would live happily ever after. But after the humiliation I faced with Beta Devin, I knew sometimes dreams don’t come true.
“I’ve faced rejection once. Don’t worry, you don’t need to pity me, Alpha. Go ahead, I’ll understand.” My hands moved to my chest as I waited desperately for it. Alpha Killian let go of my hands that instant.
“I would never reject what’s mine, dear mate! Now, come with me.” he said, walking a little distant from me. This gave me opportunity to go farther.
“No, this is impossible. Why would you want me?” I protested, running back into the river. The river drenched my clothes again making me wet all over again. All of a sudden, Alpha Killian made use of his wolf speed, appearing directly in front of me. “Don’t ever try to drown yourself again, mate.” he seethed. I didn’t prepare for what came next. Alpha Killian lifted me in his hefty hands in a bridal style. I shrieked in protest as he walked out of the water but he was having none of it. When I started wriggling out of his hands, I could only hear him laughing at me. My head was beside his chest. Thus, I could hear the way his voice rumbled. Indeed, it was the most beautiful sound I had heard ever.
“Let me down!” I told him, but it was no use. He just ignored my words.
…
Alpha Killian took me to his pack, even though I didn’t want it. He placed me amongst people, ordering them to watch me. He made it seem like I was dangerous to myself but he didn’t understand.
I was never this person. In fact, I was far from this person. I never wanted death for myself. It was my pack and my first mate that made me want to end my life. I wanted to bring an abrupt end to every—
“Hi, there. I’m Patricia. What is your name?” Someone asked me. My head immediately directed up to see the prettiest creature ever. It was a blonde haired female with pretty blue eyes. She looked really nice and surprisingly warm to me, which was opposite to my pack.
“C-Celeste.” I said, still on my spot as I wondered why she was talking to me, a low rank Omega. Her aura radiated power. It was as if she had a warrior gene in her.
“Luna Celeste, you don’t need to fret. No one’s going to harm you in this pack. In fact, you are safe here.” She said, giving me a wide smile.
She didn’t get it, did she? I didn’t want to live at all…
Patricia's eyes immediately dilated into pure black. Someone was definitely mind linking her. I could see as she let out a gasp, staring at me so surprisingly. Perhaps, she had gotten information that I had attempted to take my life twice.
I watched her body movements as she sat down beside me on the sofa.
“Shall we start this again, Luna?” she asked.

Patricia had so much to say to me. She had babbled about why I should keep on living and not try ending my life. She even made me promise to her not to. On the verge of tears, I hugged her. My spirits made me feel so alone. I knew deep down; I was just this small girl who had been misunderstood by lots of people. And, I never even bothered to explain myself again because they just never believed anything I said. She left me after a while. The guards watching me informed me of their Alpha’s proposition. He had ordered to see me for some reason. And now, I was on my way to wherever he was located, with two bulky guards at my side. They all made it seem like I was some psycho that needed watching and it irritated me. As we halted in front of the Alpha’s workplace, I saw one of the guard’s pupils dilate, I knew he had just mind linked the Alpha. The next thing I knew we were already enterin
I was taken to a room by the guards this crazy Alpha assigned to me. They kept hovering around me even when I entered the room. The room was an extremely large one. It smelled like candies. Ok, not exactly candies but it was this refreshing scent I perceived. Something woodsy and delicious. It was familiar. Like the same Alpha.My eyes immediately directed to one of the guards. I hesitantly asked him, “Whose room is this?” I didn’t miss the confused expression he gave me. Although he answered, in more of a submissive way… It was as if I was some important person.“This room belongs to our Alpha, Luna. If you need anything, don’t hesitate to call us.” He answered, bowing down. My brows furrowed in confusion. I didn’t understand why he would put me in his room? Back at my pack. I couldn’t even live with my family. How would I be able to live with an Alpha?“The Alpha told me to mention that
I was pissed.In fact, pissed was an understatement. I was so annoyed and angry. I could feel my Merida inside me. She was so hurt at the sight in front of us. The girl with the red hair was kissing our mate, right in front of us. It all reminded me of the scene back at my pack. When Beta Devin marked the Queen bee of my pack directly in front of me.In total disbelief, one of my legs retreated back. That made Alpha Killian look at my direction that instant. The female who had kissed him spared me a glance. I could read the expressions on their faces. They were both surprised I was actually there which was insane. My other leg followed the other, taking a step back, with a hand on my chest.Turning around, I ran through the door I had come in from. Perhaps, my expectations were too high. I shouldn’t have foresaw having a mate. Perhaps, I wasn’t just bound to have a mate. I sho
“Stay here, Celeste. I have something important to do.” Alpha Killian said. My hands reluctantly moved without permission to take a hold of his. But it was too late. He had already gone.Knowing that, I growled alone to the comfort of the room. It felt cold and annoying. There was this sudden need in me. A need to be with Alpha Killian. My body also seemed to be forgetting Beta Devin’s rejection. Even though I could still feel him mating with his girlfriend, it was no longer as painful as before. This definitely had something to do with the fact that I had accepted his rejection.Standing up, I walked to the mirror I noticed in the room. My hands raised the cloth I was wearing which revealed my stomach. I had never got the chance to examine my belly but I was beyond startled by what I saw.There were purple like traces on it which were a little red on my pale and white skin. I couldn’t believe that there was this amount of damaged wounds on my body. Thou
It was like I was lost. I couldn’t even focus on anything part from that beautiful scene that had occurred when I was a little girl.Sounds.That was what I heard for a long while. Not until I realized that they weren’t just sounds. Someone was trying to reach out to me. I immediately spinned back to reality.“Celeste!” I immediately sprung out of my thoughts, looking directly in front of me. An overwhelming expression was written all over her face.“You seemed lost in thought. I was asking what flavor you wanted.” She breathed out. Trying to focus, I opened my mouth to answer her.“Oh, sorry about that. Chocolate I guess.” I replied her. I watched as it was scooped into the cone shaped cup. The moment we purchased it, we left there.I arrived back at the pack with Kate. I showed my gratitude before she left, saying she had another outing with her friends. Thus, the stuffs we had bought were all in my hands.Carrying a whole lot o
Alpha Killian was still very much positioned between my legs. His face held an angry frown that went all the way to his cheekbones to his jaw. He growled ferociously, with his pupils dilating into pure black. My heart thudded at how scary he looked right now. In fear, I withdrew from him. I slid from his grasp, taking several steps back after I came down from where he had placed me on earlier.What was I supposed to do now?No, this couldn’t be happening!My back came in contact with the wall directly at the entrance. With a scowl written all over his features, he thudded his feet towards me. I could feel my chest beginning to tighten at all that was happening. I heard that Alpha’s were very possessive with their mates. I even witnessed my pack’s Alpha tearing apart a rogue for grazing his mate.That was how bad it was.Why did I run my mouth?Why did I…?These thoughts were encrypted on my mi
It was all like one crazy tsunami crashing in. I had no idea what to do nor where to start from. My legs moved wobbly to where Alpha Killian was positioned. He seemed to not even notice I was there, so how was I supposed to stop him. With a million folds of thoughts rushing through my head, I did the one thing I never thought I’d do.I screamed.The instant I screamed; everyone became silent. Alpha Killian froze at his spot, taking a glance at me. I could hear people cackling at me. There were luscious whispers, mocking me.“Does she really think she’ll stop the infamous cruel Alpha?” One said.“Such a filthy Omega!” A female voice boomed too.“The guts she had to murder her father and show her face!” Someone else said.Please stop.Stop it, Alpha.Don’t harm Beta Devin.I said in my thoughts with so much hope that he would actually hear. Didn’t they say mates could mind link each other?This scene rem
Believe me, I didn’t even realize when I had fallen asleep in Alpha Killian’s hands. I hadn’t even known when he dropped me on the bed. I had been so engrossed and comfortable in his hugs that it soothed me to sleep. This was all like a new found emotion slowly building up in me. It was new. Something I had never felt before.In a way, it all consumed me; like a dangerous fire.Alpha Killian was right beside me. His face held a scowl even though he was asleep. He appeared innocent with that look. I watched him sleep, taking note of the way his black hair kissed the bridge of his nose. Every time he breathed, that hair dangerously moved delicately, making me wonder how he could radiate so much power even though he was asleep.This fire would be my undoing.A little part of my heart thudded in harmony when I remembered how this Alpha defended me yesterday in front of my pack members. All my life, nobody had ever defended me like th
