IRA POV’S
The scene of what happened a while ago played wearily inside my head and I couldn't take it away. He was hot, I admitted but I was sure he wasn't the main Alpha Micha that Zel had talked about. I could tell we shared the same connection which I couldn't detect. All I knew was that I got attached to him and I felt the same for him too.I had to put away the thought since I needed to forget about it. I made my way up the stairs that led to Micha's room as directed and I felt my skin growing goosebumps. Zel had made sure I was well cleaned up after she bought me from the criminals and I just couldn't believe how I turned out to be. Pretty.My nervosity rose when I got to the don't and I smelled his fragrance. I was satisfied, well, I've been okay with the people's auras in this pack. They were intimidating and I could tell the pack would be filled with a nourishing scent like the ones I had smelled.I heaved a heavy sigh and reached for the door, hesitated a little bit before I decided to push it open.Standing beside the door, I could see the handsome man, tiredly sleeping on his bed and I got so intense watching him that I didn't know when he raised himself from the bed to look at me.He made a face before he sprang up from the bed and started to pave towards me. I tried to maintain my stance to avoid me looking like a lost lad but I was wrong.The first thing he did when he came closer was to reach out for my face and I flinched in sanitation."Relax, pretty." His voice was gentle. He then cupped my face with his hand but I looked away. His eyes were dangerous.Suddenly, his facial expression changed at once. There was a vicious look in his eyes. I went pale instantly."Who! Who kissed you?" The anger in his tone was like hot steel.I jumped visibly.He was furious and I could see he was struggling to hold his anger in.Alpha Micah waited for me to respond but there was nothing I could say. Lying to him wasn't an option.He pulled closer and gasped in shock. "Farrell?!"I didn't know who Farrell was but judging by the look on his face it had to be the same guy from earlier.I tried to explain but I was still confused. What could I say to him? I was in the dark as much as he was.He took a breath then released me and walked to the bed. He was no longer angry. He was hurt."Do you know who you are?" He focused on the far wall."I'm nobody. Just an orphaned kid who had been unlucky enough to fall into the hands of slavers," I told him and I could read his facial expressions. He was happy with my response.Alpha Micah shook his head after I was done talking. There was a look on his face that showed he knew more than I did. That wasn't possible."You are royalty. The heir to one of the greatest royal families. You were taken from your home by the man currently sitting on my throne."His words sent cold chills running down my spine. My legs buckled and felt weak. I had to walk to the bed and sit on it for support."The pendant you wear is passed down to the heir of your family."I touched it and gasped.What he was saying made sense. It was strange to me but I could tell by the way he said it that he wasn't just trying to be funny."You're meant to be my mate." I stiffened at this. "We are destined to be together. Once I mark you, I can take back my throne with you as my Luna."There was something wrong with this part of the story. I could tell because of how I felt when I got close to the guy he had called Farrell.But I didn't say anything.The look of hurt in his eyes disappeared suddenly. His eyes glowed with the spark of someone who had gotten an idea.What did he have up his sleeves? I thought as he got up and walked towards me with a sinister grin on his face.I gulped. The grin on his face wasn't really that friendly. They looked like he was about to commit some crimes that shouldn't be committed.He got to me in no time and gripped my shoulder. "Do you know what I'm about to do?" he requested and I was left to shake my fragile head at him. Why would I know what he was up to?As if he read my mind, he answered, "I'm about to claim you.""Claim me!" I shrieked and his face fell into an expression I couldn't explain but I was sure they were not something good.I watched him pull back a little, like a scared abandoned kid because the face wasn't looking all good. I thought he wanted to claim me.He closed the distance between us again and sniffled my body which made me uncomfortable and I flinched a little, not like I could escape him after all. He didn't mind my expressions and continued to sniff his nose around me and just then he finally pulled away."You're not my mate?" The question came out more like a whisper so I didn't focus on his words but on his voice that had suddenly turned so husked. Apart from that, I could see his eyes turning dark and just then he let out a massive grunt that made me confused.He said I wasn't his mate so what next? I would be taken back to the slave house? Or will I be sold out again?I watched him swirl around and walk to his opened window. He stood in front of it gazing out to the bright day and uttered. "Not being my mate doesn't mean you can't be my Luna," he uttered."Does that mean I still have to stay here?" I asked out of my subconscious.He twisted his head over his shoulders to face me, "Don't be scared, you'll be my Luna from now on," he conceded and fully turned to face me. His eyes were looking calm and hostile now so I guess he meant each word he told me. I wasn't going to be a slave any longer.He sauntered to where I was and walked past me a little. "I'm going to meet Farell and ask him the reason, you both shared a kiss. Stay here Zel will be back to look at you," he uttered, pulled the door, and walked out of the room, leaving me in a daze.FARREL’S POVMy wolf growled in satisfaction as we both shifted into my human form. I smiled when he groaned that I had to shift since he loves to go for runs or will I say, we both love to go for runs. We had both made it a habit to go for runs very early in the morning whenever we got nothing to do. Well, running made us strong so I couldn't help but run and there was always a lot of running when we ran. I looked down at my naked body and knew I needed to get something to wear as soon as possible before I got caught by some random she-wolf, especially the maids. I started looking for the spot where I had laid my clothes before shifting into my wolf form. I found the spot and got my clothes. After putting them on, I turned away from the pack house to my room. As I walked in, the maids and servants all greeted me one after the other and I nodded very slightly in response to avoid my head falling multiple times. Although I was supposed to have been used to it already, I wasn't. About
MICHA'S POV Too many questions ran through my mind as I made my way down the stairs, heading to Farell's room for questioning. "Why would he kiss her?" I questioned myself in rage. Truthfully, I know Farell has no idea the lady is my mate but why would he stoop so low and kiss a lady he just met for the first time? It was so surprising, I couldn't do anything more than think of how irresponsible Farell was. But then, that wasn't my greatest surprise. That was just a minor thing to what I found some seconds ago. I smelled her the minute I was about to claim her. She wasn't my mate and how possible could that be?I thought Zel said she said she would bring my mate, the lady she had found to be a slave. I thought she said she was my mate but it was all a big lie, or Zel had no idea the girl wasn't my mate. I couldn't feel the mating sensation and the bond, I could alone feel her wolf which meant she wasn't my mate. I found it infuriating and annoying how Zel had gone through a lot and
ZEL'S POVIt had been such a long yet fulfilling day and sure as hell, I needed to get a rest before reporting to the training grounds. There was a lot on my mind as I recalled the scene I had happened upon between Ira and Farrell. I needed no soothsayer to explain what had happened to me but then I could not let Micah get broken over such travail matters. It would certainly not matter who she was supposedly mated to as what clearly made sense to me was that she was home now with Micah.Micah had spent so much of his time and invested a lot to finding her all these years that she had been missing. I was well aware of the plans he had outlined as he sought to build an alliance which everyone would respect. Had he been able to find her and eventually marry her which would mean presenting her to her people, then he would get the support he needed to take down the Connor. I had refused to acknowledged that awful man as my Alpha and simply saw him as nothing short of an imposter.That thron
ALPHA MICAH'S POVI had been observing her for sometime now and I had to admit to the fact that I was fully convinced that she would be my Beta when the time comes. Zel has proven herself beyond every reasonable doubt that she was the one for the job. Although, everyone had been of the speculations that the moment I ascend, it would be Farrell as my Beta but then I knew just who has more qualities. Zel would go any mile to make certain I get whatever it is I want and there was no doubt about the means she would undertake to achieving my goals.I had realized also how seemingly dangerous it would be keeping my contender as a protector. A Beta should be on the lookout for their alpha but when it comes to the situation with Farrell, I knew instantly where he belongs. He could not protect me without biases even though he had reassured me that he was on my side. I knew that with Ira now in the picture, he was compromised as far as I can tell. I had never thought before that anything or anyo
MARIAH'S POVSomething was happening definitely in the pack house which I seemed to be the only one left off the scene. I usually had first hand information but as far as I could tell right now, everyone was keeping things to themselves. No one dares to speak. I had not seen much of the girl supposed to be Micah's mate since the day Zel had brought her in and told me who she was going to be in the aftermath. Well, I had no reservations against that as long as my own dear Farrell was not the one getting a woman as I am certain that he belongs to me. Just as Zel, he had also greater failure in seeing that which is destined to be his own. He only needed to spend time intimately with me and then he would understand the fact that I was the one he needed.One might wonder why I had mentioned Zel in my description but them come to think about it, she was just like Farrell. I was sure he likes me but as a result of his biased morals and of course, my brother, he would rather not act on it. It
IRA'S POVIt had been awkward for me since that night when I had been kissed by the dashing young man before being brought before my supposed protector who had just received the shocker that I was not his mate. Although, he had made it clear that he cared less about whatever wolfie status I bore within me, I still had a strong feeling he was troubled. I was certain he had gone and confronted the guy who had kissed me but the eventual outcome of their meeting together was something I could not fathom.I was scared. Every day and moment, I felt fear creeping into my sinews and spreading across me. This was not fear that he would hurt me but surprisingly, it was fear that he would hurt the guy, Farrell. As I had happened to learn his name. I simply could not get him out of my thoughts and he remained there like he owned my very thoughts. I was beginning to crave for him and for his touch. I could very well tell that it was only a matter of time before all hell would break loose, that bein
FARRELL'S POVI needed no soothsayer to explain to me what was actually happening when I could no longer see much of Ira. I felt somewhat it would be better we do not run into each other or see anymore of ourselves because I knew well enough that I would find it pretty much hard to keep away from her. She was my mate after all and I would give the whole world to spend time with her had we not been facing the blocker in the person of my dearest best friend and brother.I would have to admit to the honest truth that I had been actually really jealous of him that I felt the desire to want to kill him and put an end to the madness he was about driving me into. As much as it seemed like I accepted his proposal, I certainly did not want to be sidelined from her. It was not the first time a thing as such where a situation would present itself and eventually Micah would have absolute power and authority. It was baffling as it was painful.The fates were definitely fighting against me and my h
FARRELL'S POVThis scent of hers was like the scent of lotus flower in the garden of death as it heightened every single emotion which my wolf could feel. I felt my eyes grow bloodshot red as my wolf seemed in turmoil and unable to keep himself in check. Seriously though, was Micah aware that she was down here or what? Or perhaps had she been sent to me finally. My stomach tied into a thousand knots as I tried to reach for my door handle. I have no idea if it had been out of excessive excitement or nervousness that each time I made to reach for the door, I suddenly pull back.For once in my life, I was really scared of seeing someone I wanted badly. Not because of anything else but for the fact that I had no idea how long I would be able to restrain myself. I tried to lay my mind bare and think of nothing but I found that I was slowly dying from the anticipation of wanting to see her. It was pretty much late and the entire pack house must be asleep. This was my chance to make it right
