Titans POVI stared at the open field in front of me. Vultures screeched above me and some poured down to the field to devour the deer carcass that laid there.Kargo and Jacob stood by my right side, staring at me and speaking in whispers. I did not mind. They could say whatever they wanted. My mind was pretty occupied at the moment.We had moved from the valley of death to the open field a little bit far off north from our pack compound. Jacob and Kargo had pleaded for me to go to the pack compound with them but I refused it. I decided it best to sit here in the pouring rain and think everything that was happening through.What the shaman had said to us still stuck in my head, unable to leave. No matter how hard I had tried to wipe it off my mind, it still stayed. I wanted so much to not believe what he had said but I didn't find a reason not to no matter how hard I tried.I had wanted to ask him who the wolf prints that we had seen belonged to but he disappeared just as fast as he h
ALANA’S POVI held the paper in my hands, my lips trembling as I read each word. No matter how hard I tried to convince myself that this was a dream and I would soon wake up to reality, the words before me on the test sheet didn’t disappear.And neither did my mate’s prescence fade away. He was standing there, expressionless as usual as he waited for a reply from me.What did he want me to say?“She’s three months gone, and I’ve already had a meeting with the elders not too long ago. They’ll only accept Diana as my second Luna and the mother of my child if you agree with the terms and conditions of her living here as mine.”I stared at him blankly, my jaw lowered to the floor. To think my mate couldn’t stoop down low any further, to think my best friend Diana would actually comfort me whenever Lucian hit me or abused me, but stab me right in the back by actually having an affair with my mate, to think he was actually trying to persuade me into agreeing to make Diana his Luna?I knew r
ALANA’S POVFor one, I definitely did not have a weak wolf, and even though his wolf was stronger than mine by an arm’s length, I could still put up a fight with him.Most of time when Lucian was too busy for me, I was usually at the training fields with Caleb. He was a Gamma and third in command to the Alpha, Lucian, and was my best friend, the only one who had ever stood up for me all through.Right from when it was Lucian, me, him and Diana, he’s always been my anchor, and I wouldn’t replace him for anyone else in the world.So If Lucian thinks he’s going to bully me again and force me into doing what I didn’t feel comfortable with, he better think again because I will rather die by his hands instead.I could see the surprise in his eyes at my retort before he quickly concealed it with anger, leaving me stunned as to why I had never bothered to look into his eyes to let his real feelings give him away there.He suddenly grabbed my neck and forced my head to the wall, my chin raised
ALANA’S POVWhen I couldn’t get a word out of Lucian, I just shook my head.“I’m so stupid ..” the tears which I had been trying really hard to hold in causally rolled down my cheeks. “I’m so stupid ..” I whispered again, this time, a pained chuckle escaping my lips as I turn away to leave.This time, Lucian doesn’t follow me, and when I reach the stairs, about to climb up, I turn to see Lucian still standing there, his eyes fixed on me.“Diana will bear her child out of wedlock, because she will not and can never be your Luna.”I don’t wait for a reaction and I turn and skidded upstairs, my hands gripping the railings tight.I was so blinded by the tears in my eyes that I don’t see where exactly I was headed to until I bump into someone.Sniffing, I rub my eyes and my eyes grew cold seeing Diana standing there, wondering what she was doing on my floor.The worry in her eyes sickened me, and I so badly wanted to give her a piece of my mind, but I respected the fact that she was pregna
LUCIAN’S POVI was sitting down in the dining room, wondering if the person I had just had a conversation with was still the same Alana I knew. The timid, vunerable, intimidated woman who crouched before me In fear.I thought this conversation would go a lot smoother than I thought. Break the news to her, get her to concede to Diana being the second Luna and that was it. I didn’t expect that she’d straight up snap at me. I could see the rage burning in her eyes and it was then I realized she had probably taken a stand on her decision and was not going to make Diana, Luna.For the first time tonight, I actually found myself questioning my actions towards Alana these past few years. The part about vibrators stunned me to the bone marrow. I was bound to get horny, and I usually wanked off or spent the night with Diana. I had assumed Alana might have hooked up with other guys behind my back. Not that I cared, but I felt a funny tug in my heart when she blurted out that for three years str
LUCIAN’S POVI freeze and turn when I felt a soft, small hand wrapped around mine, sending soothing shivers up my spine.My eyes met with Diana’s obsidian black eyes before she patted the back of my palm tenderly.“You know how Alana can be when she’s angry.. so please let her be. I’m sure she’ll be over it by tomorrow.”“She knows you’re pregnant and the first thing she tries to do is kill you? Do you think that’s forgiveable Diana? I could have lost you and the baby or either one of you.”Diana looked horrified, and I was sure she hadn’t known that Alana knew about us or about her pregnancy until now.“H- how did she find out.” Her voice was now a hushed whisper, like she was expecting Alana to step out of the shadows.“I had to tell her, Diana. Remember the meeting with the elders? I can’t have you bear my child out of wedlock.”“Well, with how things went with you two, I don’t think she’s willing to accept me as her co-Luna.” Diana shrugged dejectedly and that fueled up the hate a
ALANA'S POVMy eyes widened on meeting his, and he happened to see how shocked and frightened I was, because the moment I scooched back against the door, he leaned back. I turned to see what I was sitting up against, and when I saw the door, It brought back so many memories that I ended up covering my face in embarassment. He must have seen the tears and must have realized that I'm just a pathetic person who's strong on the outside and pretended not to be hurt by his actions, when I actually come into my room to bitch and mourn over him. "Are you okay? I was worried when I wanted to come in and check in on you, so I followed through the window… " I blinked when I heard him speak, and just for a second, I pinched myself internally to make sure I wasn't dreaming. Maybe it was Caleb but I was just visualizing him as Lucian. But it's not like I was blind. I could clearly see Lucian kneeling right Infront of me with worry in his eyes as he looked at me, probably waiting for an answer.
ALANA'S POV "Apologize? Did we fight?" I chuckle like I was crazy as I said to him. Help me moon goddess, I had already forgotten everything that had happened Tonight. He looked at me warily like I had already gone mad, but soon, he led me to the bed, and I giggle like a high school girl as I drop down on my back while he held me down and pulled my shoes off. Once he was done, I lay there and watched as he stood over me and began taking off his shirt. It was so mighty darn attractive watching my muscles flex without any effort as he drew the shirt down his body and tossed it to the ground. And the way his muscular contours contracted.. fuck! I was getting wet staring at him already.Arghh! I hated him so much.. why did he have to be so handsome and have such an amazing body I knew I couldn't have because he didn't even like me. I could have the best figure in the world and he wouldn't be attracted to me. "Lucian… " I suddenly call out, dramatically placing my hand against my fore
