Next chapter in 2 hours. :-)
Lola Bennett I was there.I was fuc*king there and witnessed everything that happened before my eyes. That Omega. That filthy Omega!Why was she after my happiness?First, it was her father whom she tried to win over in all these past years. And now she was after my ex.Yes, she was making it look like he was after her yet I knew her better.Lexi was my ex-mate and Rayna wasn’t supposed to go after him. The way she stood in front of him to keep him safe, I found it funny. I was expecting Lexi to laugh at her.The same Lexi who was crazy after me, now he didn’t want to bat an eye in my direction. I could see the gentleness in his eyes when he was looking down at Rayna’s head.The girl was so dramatic. She seemed to be successfully wrapping him around her little finger. The drop-dead gorgeous man who was made for me.Moon Goddess made Lexi for me!Why couldn’t Rayna choose someone else?I felt fury making its way into my heart when in the training ground, he transformed into his Lyca
I gave a long and hard look to the dress that had been hanging in my cupboard since before the Luna ceremony.After I got to know that I’d be the Luna of this pack, I bought it from my hard-earned money to wear it the next day of the ceremony.I had sworn never to take off its cover, but I guess fate had different plans for me. Tonight, I wanted to look special. I wanted to look good for my chosen mate.I wasn’t aware of where he was taking me but then he deserved a well-dressed lady beside him when he was such a good-looking man himself.I took out the packed dress and started unzipping the cover. It was a silk camisole in blush pink with matching tailored trousers.A box was lying at the bottom of the closet that had the same colored heeled mules inside.Taking a deep breath, I clutched it to my chest and waited for the emotional moment to get past. After being mated to a warrior, I was sure he would stay on his word and keep me happy and safe.Today the way he kept me protected du
“I’ll accompany you,” Zara came out of the room following me, “I might convince them not to insult the Lycans.”Despite of being worried, I smiled and bobbed my head, “No need, Zara. Let me fight this on my own.” I hugged my friend before walking to the office.While passing through the hallways I kept thinking of this absurd issue. Who could be behind it?Lola?I heaved a long sigh and twisted the handle of the office. As expected, Alpha Magnus was not alone. My father and Lola were also there.Derek and Cedric were seated beside Violet. Since the last incident, I hadn’t seen Eric.I still found it funny that Alpha Magnus didn’t seem ready to hand over his Alpha power to his dear sons.“You called me, Alpha?” I bowed my head and could feel their eyes on me. Violet and Lola’s eyes seemed to take X-rays of my body from head to toe. Maybe because I was all dolled up for my date and it would be fun for them to spoil my plans to find some happiness in my life.Lola’s presence confirmed m
Rayna Bennett:I didn’t know where he was taking me. There were hardly any restaurants nearby.There was a waterfall spot too where families used to go for picnics in the daytime. After the evening there used to be reservations for the dates.Small camps were made at a safe distance from the waterfall where couples used to chill and have dinner there. If they were marked mates, they were allowed to spend the night too.I once visited the place with my Omega friends but never had the opportunity to go there in the evening.“Are we going to the Rodrigo waterfalls?” I asked him but then when he didn’t answer, I decided to wait. After crossing the boundary of the packhouse, Alex turned to the left and started walking on a trail.It was right in the opposite direction of Amora’s camp.We must have walked half a kilometer when a small hut came into view that belonged to the Black Stone pack. Alpha Magnus used to give it to our guests if packhouse guest rooms were full. Tonight, the hut was
Rayna Bennett:“Any idea what they are up to?” I sat back in my seat and asked the Lycan who stayed behind, trying to be a bit friendly. The purpose was just to make some conversation.While Alex was away, why not take a little more of that lava cake?I looked sideways and grinned at the tall man, “I didn’t mean to pry.” I lifted my shoulder and started gobbling it all down.The man bent a little and shook his head, “No, your highness. You are not prying.”I almost choked and searched for water. He quickly poured some and handed me the glass. I took big chugs of it and gave him a salty look.Was he out of his mind? Your Highness? Seriously!“I … I am sorry, ma’am. It was just out of habit. I’ve been serving in the Royal palace for quite a long time.” The poor thing quickly explained himself.I nodded at him and managed a forced laugh, “Yeah. I was about to get a heart attack. Ha ha,” I rubbed my chest only to find that it gave relief to the heart palpitations that I had started experie
Lola Bennett We were waiting for Eric to appear in the conference room for the rejection ceremony. He was supposed to reach first so that we could make him read the Holy Book verses, but he was nowhere to be seen.“Send him a mind link,” I whispered to Violet who had a bored expression on her face. She didn’t want to attend the ceremony, but I made her.Rayna should know never to mess with anyone’s man. More audience meant more insult. So, I gathered as many pack members as possible.After the rejection ceremony I was planning to get her killed. Lexi needed to leave the pack without a chosen mate.“Shouldn’t Rayna and Mr. Lexi be here by now?” Resentment was evident in Alpha Magnus’s voice. Derek and Cedric were discussing something, and Logan was busy reading a book.“I think it’s disrespect. Rayna is making us wait as if she is some kind of royalty and we are the Omegas. The audacity of this girl.”I muttered and closed my eyes tiredly.“She must be busy with the dinner date with th
Lola Bennett’s pov:“Violet. Don’t you think, you are being over dramatic?” Violet’s crazy sobs were making my head go crazy. I guess I made a mistake when I made her a Luna.“I am not being dramatic, Lola. This mark is burning. Since last night it’s giving me pain. With a child on the way, I just can’t take it anymore.” Sitting on the edge of the bed she placed a protective hand on her belly.I scoffed in frustration and went to her, “Violet, honey. You are pregnant. You are NOT sick. For Goddess's sake. Your mates are in the mourning phase due to your father-in-law’s death.Think of our Luna Camila. Just because Eric is missing, and you are pregnant doesn’t qualify to whine and complain…”“You think I am creating drama?” she shot a tear-filled gaze at me, “You must be crazy, Lola! Eric is missing. Our Alpha is missing. We don’t know where he is. Him running away from this pack … I just can’t buy it…” she started shaking her head wildly and stood up, “No. Not possible. Eric can’t ru
Rayna Bennett’s pov:Beta Brian didn’t try to stop the old man from leaving. The pain was no more there but just a little spark could be felt on my fingertips.“Go to sleep. If you need anything, just call me. I’ll be right outside your door.” He told me gently.“Outside my door? Why… I mean please No! You shouldn’t...” Why would he do that? This doesn’t make sense.For Goddess's sake, he was a Royal beta.“Outside your door means…” he cleared his throat, “I’ll be close by, Rayna.”Oh! I chuckled nodding my head at him, “Yeah. Obviously. I must be losing my mind. Maybe this pain is not letting me think straight.”He left the room bowing his head and I laid back on the bed. I had just gotten rid of my dinner date clothes and that made me miss Alex more. The sleeping suit I was wearing, was arranged by the Royal beta.“I’m missing you,” I murmured to myself wishing in my heart that my mate could hear it. I closed my eyes, and his shirtless figure was there. His abs …When he saw me na*k
