Chapter 5
I can't stop wondering what this was about. The stares makes me feel uncomfortable. Those lustful eyes.And my greatest fear was because those stares weren't coming from Alpha's son Zain at all but rather he's father... Alpha King Vixen.It sent goosebumps all over my body.I felt the urge to ask him if he wants to undress me with he's eyes but I had to keep my mouth shut as this alpha wasn't any one to be joked with.I gulped down a mouthful of my own saliva when I noticed another person staring at me just the same way the king Alpha vixen just did. I followed his eyes at watched as they landed on my exposed cleavage.What the heck!Was he staring at my.... Br...!I immediately used my hands to cover my upper body that was exposed but it didn't get any better as my hands only puffed them up.I huffed in frustration and looked at everyone in the room just to notice that I'm the center of attention.I just want the ground to open and swallow me now."Is she the one?" A loud voice echoed in the room."Yes she is." My alpha confirmed.And again alpha vixen looked at me.Something was off I noticed, while Alpha Vixen and this man with him which I guess is the beta were staring at me like lost fools, Zain didn't even spare me a glance.Then my worry heightened.Not because I want him to look at me, but what if Alpha Vixen himself is the person.... No, what if he's my mate!? That can't be."Okay I think is time we leave now!" Alpha King Vixen said all of a sudden leaving everyone in surprise and suspense, my alpha wasn't exempted.He raised he's left brow and gave a look that says ' Did I say something wrong?'.My alpha cleared he's throat and said, " I hope after this we would be at peace? " He asked curiously.Instead of replying directly to the question, he tilted he's head and stared at me before saying, " She can be the only problem. " Seriously, how can I be the only problem.Soon my alpha gave me a sharp look and I retorted by glaring hard at him."You really are a stubborn brat!" He said as he made he's way towards me."Not so fast, even if you can't respect her but for the fact her mate is here I think she deserves it." The man who was beside Alpha Zain said for the very first time."Forgive my manners." My alpha apologized."Your manners indeed. " Alpha King Vixen mocked.If someone don't stop them now i think this wouldn't end well.My alpha gave off an awkward laugh, " what I said I'm sorry." He said pretentiously."Whatever." Alpha King Vixen said in nonchalance."Dad can we leave already." Alpha Zain said for the very first time.If not for he's statement I would have just described how melodious he's voice sounds.Is he this dumb? No someone has to ask him.Isn't this the same statement he's father just said that brought about his awkwardness. "Why leave so fast? At least having a drink or two isn't bad you know." Our pack's gamma said.I watched as Alpha king Vixen found it hard to do but he later gave in at last. There was a little celebration... Celebration? Nope not at all, they just took a drink to their satisfaction.I lifted my eyes and for the first time, I and Alpha Zain looked at each other in the eye. I can't explain the kind of feeling I got when he stared down at me in those tender gaze which later turned to a dark, frosty look. I gulped and looked away when he asked " Do you ever talk?" I froze in the chair as I stared at him in utter disbelief."You don't have to answer." He snorted and looked away like he didn't say anything.After some much drinking, they all got up prepared to leave. Fera gripped my heart and moist formed in my eyes because I know for sure that I'm leaving my pack to a foreign land.My wolf purred, I can't guess if she was excited or sad I just know that I'm not happy, no, not at all.*Don't worry we would be happy* My wolf said to me.Is this excitement or what exactly is laced in her voice? This is not the the time for that, I chided my self.Soon I felt a hot breath on my face, I looked up and saw my alpha looking at me with a grim expression. "You heard what Alpha king Vixen said, you can only be the problem and i wouldn't want that else...""I would be killed in cold blood just like my dad." I completed he's sentence before he could. I was a pro at noticing people's behavior, I watched as I saw something flashed through his eyes but he was quick to mask it off, anyways I still caught it."Little one!" Alpha Vixen said to me.I can't tell if that's a compliment or he's actually calling me or maybe even mocking me.I was tempted to roll my eyes at him but I controlled my self.The next minute I saw Eliza my step mom and Tessa including few of my relatives.Some stared at me in pity while some stared at me like I'm a forbidden being these sets of people includes my step mom and sister."Go, don't ever come back, you don't deserve to!" Tessa screamed out loud."Do you think you yourself deserve anything good?" Jace questioned her.Tessa became tongue tied because I guess she wasn't expecting him to be this rude to her."Your pack members are full of drama queens and kings." Alpha King Vixen mocked.Everyone could only keep their mouths shut.None knows if this is for agony or freedom but... A loud cry was heard!I couldn't hold it in anymore, the place I had known to be home and my relatives were letting me go without even a little word of encouragement."Raven?" She was the one who let out a loud cry and wasted no time hugging me to comfort me."Do you really have to go?" Her red eyes gazed at me with so much attention and care."Yes, I don't want anyone else getting hurt." I sniffed, trying to hold back my tears."Xena please…" she cried even more,"Your Dad wouldn't have wanted this." She sniffed, her trailing tears continuing to wet her already damp cheek."Dad is gone." I let the tears slip out from my eyes as I hugged her more tightly than before."Who would be with me when you're gone, who would I plan crazy stunts with who…" "Enough of this nonsense! You're delaying the to be Alpha of Crystal claw pack from taking his bride home." Alpha Demetri raged and immediately ordered his guards to drag raven out of the pack house."No, let her be." His calm majestic voice spoke again. "What d
Alpha Zain's pov I wasn't happy with everything that was going on. My father Alpha Vixen made me take a bride from the Blood-moon pack in order to settle the upcoming war he had with them. For him, a good woman would buy his heart any day and anytime.I hadn't seen her before but the moment I set my eyes on her, my wolf howled in excitement.She was like an angel. Her pale milky skin went with her ginger brown hair and hazel hers. She wasn't smiling but I could tell she would look like an angel if she did because even her anger made her look as cute as a teddy bear.She was wearing a white gown which revealed her curves and her Cleavage. I observed how most of them looked at her, some with admiration, some lust and others with anger and it took everything in me not to rip out their eyeballs from its socket. I recalled earlier when I had told my father that I would never fall in love with the lady he would get me but that eventually changed when I got to see her for real."I can't f
Chapter8Xena's POV…I shivered in fear the moment I went to my room. My thoughts about the old Alpha were right. I mean, he didn't look that old but still he has a son who is supposed to be my Alpha and yet, he's taking advantage of me.I moved to my bed and my wolf couldn't stop talking about how my supposed mate saved me."Didn't you feel that spark when your hands grazed each other while he was handing you the glass?" She asked and I grumbled.I did feel it but I wasn't going to let my wolf or my feelings get the better of me.He just helped me but don't forget that he was the one who acted like I was nothing to him by making me land on the hard fall with my butt. I murmured, taking off my clothes as I headed into the shower, a place where I usually go to cool my head.I took a deep breath as the shower's water trailed slowly down my body while my mind wondered about everything that happened today."Raven!" My eyes snapped open when her thought crossed my mind.My friend had suffe
Chapter9"Are you saying the maid hadn't given you the surprise yet? I'm going to cut off her tongue!" He banged his left hand on the table and anger flooded his face."Oh that. Sorry it slipped my mind over the excitement of my ceremony. Thank you so much." I responded in a nervous manner."Just thank you, aren't you going to hug me?" He pushed his seat and to my surprise he stood up with his hand wide open to hug me.I never thought I would say this but right now, I wished that my mate would come and interrupt what this old man wanted."Common, don't be shy…" he smiled and his smile showed his evil intention.I slowly dragged my feet towards him and hoped that this was a dream that I would wake up from.Just as I was about hugging the Alpha, someone walked in, grabbing both our attention."Hmm… Dad, what's going on here?" Zain's face didn't look pleased and he seemed so angry seeing his dad wanting to hug me."Just want to accept a huge from from my future daughter in law. She was t
Chapter10"Who are you talking to?" I jumped out of the bed and landed on the floor with my head facing the ground when I heard that voice."Get up." He spoke and I didn't know why but my body responded to his words on their own accord."Listen to me." He moved closer to me and grabbed my face, pulling me to himself in such a way that our bodies fanned each other's faces and his body heat warmed me."What do you want! I'm playing along just fine." I spoke in-between gritted teeth as I struggled to get off his grip."I said listen!" He added force to my arm which he was holding and I had no choice what to whine in pain,"Ouch, you're hurting me." "I don't care!" He yelled in a manner that caused me to flinch."What do you want?" My tone was a bit softer as I tried to mask the pain I was feeling." His hands were as strong as iron and holding me in such a manner was hurting my skin."No one should know that we are mates for real, do you get that?" He spoke and when I failed to answer h
Chapter11Zain's pov I stood in front of the crowd who were itching to know who their new Luna would be.Mumbling could be heard amongst the people as everyone waited for my speech."Great people of Crystal claw pack. I know many of you are wondering who my Luna is and where I got her from. Well, as you all know, I am an alpha who stands for peace and wants the six packs to be united in love.Therefore, this influenced my choice of who I went for to be my Luna." I paused to take in a deep breath and I realised the murmuring had stopped because everyone was now paying attention to what I was saying."I present to you, my new Luna." A round of applause began as she walked out majestically in the wine gown embroidered with beads. Her hair and makeup made her stand out and her wine shoes which were embroidered with silver stone made her look stunning."What's her name?""Yes, tell us her name." Someone else backed up the question asked by the first person."Um, um…" "Luna Xena!" Loga
Chapter12Xena's POV.Jenna had come to fetch me just as the alpha had instructed. She told me I was going to go through a short makeover and then I was going to go see my Mate.I followed her lead without any objections when I felt the need to mate with my mate like never before."What's happening?" I asked my wolf inwardly but she herself didn't know what was happening."Mate! I need my mate." I heard her growl and I gulped in response."Is everything okay, you're sweating a lot." If Jenna didn't call my attention, I wouldn't have known that."Don't worry, everyone's first time is always like that." She giggled before going to prepare a bath.The bath was made with warm water and some rose petals to make me smell sweet. Once I had taken my bath, I wrapped myself in my towel and went out to see the surprise."No, no I won't!" "It's the king's orders, you have to." Jenna consoled me."I know it's your first time and you're scared but you have to. If you don't feel comfortable, you c
Chapter13Jace's Pov.I sighed and panic was shown all over my face as I watched Raven being checked up by the doctor."Would she be fine?" My heart thudded loudly as I asked the doctor who's expression wasn't helping at the door."I'm sorry Jace, it looks like she's going to have to be brought to the hospital for a head scan. How long has she been out?" He raised his brow and I gulped in panic."A day. I'm sorry I didn't call you earlier, I had to make sure she was stable. Hope I didn't make matters complicated?" I asked with sweat dripping down my forehead."No, you said you placed an ice bag where she was injured right?" The doctor asked and I nodded."That's great. Just get her to the hospital as soon as possible. We'll do the scan and I promise you, everything will be fine." The doctor patted my shoulders and arranged the kit he came with as he made for the exit."Don't worry Raven, you'll be fine." I cleared the hair which covered her face. Luckily, the swelling had gone down an
