“Selene came over. She was looking for you yesterday,” my mother said. I barely looked up from my bowl of oatmeal, nodding.
“Okay,” I mumbled in response. I did my best to resemble the physical representation of static on a TV screen - Vague and uninteresting to look at.
“You should go see her. She said she didn't see you at the ceremony. So she may be worried about you,” my dearest mother continued in that oblivious way she always was in.
Oh, mother, I thought. You have no idea what is going on. If anything, she may have come here to try and appease me. I doubted that she would have succeeded though. I was still in a snit. My heart ached at the thought of them.
Despite having not eaten much except for the chicken soup and some pasta I saw in the microwave late last night, I had suddenly lost all semblance of an appetite. Standing up, I moved to place my bowl in the sink and began the small task of washing it before placing it on the plate rack and walking back to my bedroom.
“You should go out today,” my mother’s loud voice rang through the hallway as I stomped up to my room. I put on my favorite boots and moved to grab my denim blue jacket which I put on before leaving the room again, intending on doing just as my dear mother had said.
But I wasn't going to see Selene. No, I was going to one of the only hideouts I had not yet shown my former best friend.
I doubted that she would have the sense of mind to look for me there, in the alcove between the little shops in the pack compound. Thaywas, strangely enough, a very calming place to be in. It was also the best place to hear some little tidbits of gossip floating around the pack.
I sat atop the small, rounded platform in the alcove, tucked my feet under my thighs in a meditation pose and simply… listened.
The sounds of people walking around and talking did wonders for my impending high blood pressure and soon I began to fall into the state of calm popularly known as Zen.
However, my ears picked up a word that had me slipping out of that state suddenly.
“... has found his mate here, in our pack?” a woman was conversing nearby. Her voice was louder than everyone else. However it was the mention of mates that had made me alert.
Mates?
My ears pricked to know more.
“Ah, really?” another woman laughed joyously. “That is wonderful! Who could have ever guessed that the Alpha of such a powerful pack would have found his mate here, in our humble pack?”
“Almost like the stars aligned,” the woman I had first taken note of quipped. I could tell, just by her voice, that she was smiling or at least happy. “By the way, I heard he is looking for the girl, actually.”
Looking for a girl?
My brows furrowed.
It had to be someone else, right? I mean, I definitely didn't know what that ‘Alpha’ looked like, but it wasn't Dimiri, right? No Alpha of a large pack would go about meeting random drunk girls in the corner and keeping them company for the rest of the night… right? ugh, i couldn't think now.
I groaned to myself, standing up and dusting off my clothes before leaving the alcove. I had to find out more about the information, and this Alpha.
I approached the two women with a soft smile, trying to put my best foot forward as they chatted.
“Excuse me,” I greeted them. they both turned to me with confusion in their eyes. “I couldn't help but overhear… about the Alpha who found his mate?”
Their faces brightened almost instantly.
“Ah, yes! The Alpha of Dark Eclipse Pack,” one of the women said. “Handsome man, too. Although I only got a few peeks at him. He’s got the most charming looks. If I were not mated…”
My eyes were wide and my mouth agape. The Alpha of that pack?! It was more than a large pack, it was the most powerful pack in the region! It was a pack that had survived many wars and tussles for territory throughout the times and had been famed to be one of the oldest packs with the most revered bloodline, the Tulsi bloodline, as the leaders of the pack through generations.
It couldn't be him… could it?
Dimitri couldn't be the Dark Wolf, the one that was said to be fearless in all battles and took the mantle of Alpha so young but led with so much wisdom?
I bit my lip, wondering if I should ask the woman or not. Maybe it wasn't MY Dimitri. Maybe it was another man, whose name I didn't even know, and who had also attended the mating ceremony… and found his mate at about the same time that I had, right?
“Erm…” I stammered, trying to appear calm and collected as I raised my voice to ask. “So… what is the name of their Alpha again? I kind of forgot.” the two women paused, humming confusedly.
“uh… i don't really remember,” the other woman said, and i deflated, feeling tired all of a sudden. They really had no idea who they were even talking about?
“I heard he was the Dark Wolf, but his name…” the other woman seemed to be searching her memory.
“Hmmm… I don't recall anything about his name.”
“Oh, okay then,” my voice was small as I said that. Maybe it wasn't my DImitri after all. Coincidences do happen. and i was sure this had to be another one, just like my former best friend getting with my longtime crush.
Just as I was about to turn I heard something else.
“Oh, I do know his name is really unique. Not something you hear everyday in these parts at least… I think it starts with a D…”
I stopped moving entirely. Dread filled my gut as I pondered what the woman said.
D…
Dimitri..?
Was he a Tulsi, and was he the Dark wolf?
Wss he the Alpha of the Dark Eclipse Pack?
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
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
