I couldn't even remember how I could go back to our room. I vaguely remember Josef wondering why I was staring blankly in the air and not saying anything, and I remember just shaking my head and telling him that I was quite tired and wanted to rest. Now I'm staring at the ceiling of my small room, feeling all kinds of emotions. I was repulsed, shocked, and happy. I am repulsed by Zella's hypocrisy and how she manipulated the poor Omega. I don't personally know him, but I know his name is Carson, and he's timid but kind. Just remembering all the times she treated me like an animal by being an Omega, and she's mated to one makes me want to laugh maniacally until everyone hears me and wonders if I've gone crazy. At the same time, I feel sorry for Carson because he had the unfortunate fate of being Zella's mate. If only he knew what kind of monster she was. But deep down, I feel strangely happy about what I've discovered. It seemed like fate was finally siding with me as they'd shown me
"Elder Dennis suggests that Zella should visit and stay here for a couple of days. For you to get to know each other. Because you walked out on them." I let out one last blow to the sandbag, flexing my sore knuckles from all the punches I have thrown since this morning. I wanted to get my mind off things. And by things, I meant a certain Omega that I don't even know the name of. I removed my gloves and blew out a breath before wiping my face clean of my sweat. I admit I walked out and used what happened as an excuse to leave. I felt guilty somehow because they probably punished the poor Omega, but I just couldn't stay in the same place as her. Knew that she was just within reach, but I couldn't get close enough. And that look on her face.. haunted me since yesterday. Why did she look... so uninterested? So unbothered? 'You refuse to acknowledge the fact that she's our mate. Why are you so bothered now?' My wolf taunted me, and I can imagine the smirk he had. "I don't know. Maybe
It all makes sense now why she's reacting the way she does, why she's so unaffected, unlike me, who almost lost myself and gave in to my wolf, why she looked at me like any other person who's afraid and aloof of me.My wolf became silent at our discovery and whimpered in pain. An Alpha male like him who can take down hundreds by himself, the strongest young wolf there is, whimpering in pain because his fated one can't even scent him and won't be able to recognize him.I realized what I had said earlier, and I saw how confused she looked. I massaged my temple and thought of a way to escape what I said. If she's unable to feel the bond, it would be pointless to tell her. Plus, it somehow favors me because then I won't have to reject her. "The relation between our packs. That is what I'm talking about if you think you'll gain something from this. I reject your offer, so you better get back to your room." I reasoned out and turned my back to her. I cursed and wanted to smack myself from
Our drive to Mountain Peak was pleasant, but our drive back to our pack wasn't, as Zella kept on ranting and even kicking the chair I was sitting in. I am not bothered and affected, however, because we are not going back with my hands empty. Just like that, two days passed, and we were on our way back from her visit to Mountain Peak. Zella was not satisfied with how Alpha Leonel treated her, maybe because she expected to be treated like a Luna already and perhaps even being intimate with her pair-to-be. The thought of them being intimate with each other doesn't sit well with me, and I can feel my stomach churning, but maybe because I knew she had already found her mate and she was throwing herself at Alpha Leonel. I don't have a mate, and I don't think I'll ever want one, but don't mates love only each other and don't want to ever part? But she's about to cheat on her mate like they weren't embracing and kissing each other a few days ago. "Was it fun being treated like a normal per
Klaire's POV My eyes are with with fear and my heart beat is beating so fast. I forgot how to breathe as I stare at my captor. And no, it's not because I'm afraid of them. It's because of what they could have possibly see. How long were they following me? He gently removed his hand and stepped back. "I'm sorry if I startled you." "J-Josef." I swallowed and my eyes began to look left and right. "What are you doing here?" "I should be the one asking you that, Klaire. Why are you outside when it's curfew? Are you not afraid that you'll get punished?" I looked at my best friend and tried to read his emotion, but his face is void of one. "I just wanted some fresh air, and I was being careful, Sef." "Careful?" He repeated and barked out a laugh. "Klaire, you are secretly meeting the Alpha or Mountain Peak. Zella's pair-to-be. And you're being careful?" My stomach dropped at what he said and how angry he looked. There it goes. I've been caught and it's only been two days! "Do you
Zella's POVI am born to be different. I am meant to rule. And nothing or no once can ever change what's meant to happen. I know my destiny, and it's to be the strongest pack's Luna and be the most beautiful one at that. Ever since I learned how to crawl and walk, I was given everything I wanted with just a point of my finger. My parents, grandparents and my relatives all dotted on me and treated me like a princess. I am the Queen of the campus and every guy wants me. And Leonel isn't an exemption. He will be paired with me and I'll make sure of that. I have everything I want to. I can get anything with just a snap of my finger. And I can make anyone's life a living hell. The four corners of the burnt storage room is filled with my moans and my partner's grunt. What remains of what once a place full of our food ration now witnesses my affair with my Omega mate. And the walls hear the sound of our bodies connecting with each other. We are burning. Lost in the passion of our 'love'.
Leonel's POVFirst thing in the morning when I wake up, while I'm eating with the higher ranks of Northridge. While Travis and Janus themselves show me around, and even at night after our meeting before I close my eyes. The little Omega named Klaire never left my mind, and she almost occupied it. Her face, her personality, her laugh, the way she talks, the way she'll look up at me through her lashes or scrunch up her face whenever she thinks too deeply. Damn it, why am I noticing small things about her? It's my third day, and she's slowly taking over me. "Alpha?"I snapped my head to Janus and remembered that he was showing me a bit of their training routine. I must have spaced out for a while. "My apologies. My mind went back to my home." I told him with a small chuckle, and my eyes continued watching their warriors, which only consisted of higher ranks. It was a brief show of power and strength—or as they'd like it to appear so but all I saw was a pathetic excuse for training.
Leonel's POVOnly two days left, and I needed to go back to my pack. The first day here, I was already eager to go back, but as days passed by, as the secret meeting I had with Klaire passed by, I found myself wanting to spend more time with her. And not only for almost half an hour in fear that someone might catch us. At one time, Alaska even fed my mind with the thought of taking Claire back to my pack, but that is just ridiculous. Yes, even with these confusing feelings, I will still not accept her as my mate. And as if fate itself is siding with me, something unexpected happens that will need me to stay with Northridge pack a bit longer. When I woke up this morning, Janus greeted me with a serious face, and I dare say fear in his eyes. He directed me to Travis' office, and the older Alpha's state isn't any better. I think he ages in just a night. My eyes instantly found the scattered letters on top of his mahogany table as I sat beside him. "We received an anonymous threat to
