My heart started to pound out of my chest as I grabbed my shoes. I followed the young servant to the dining area where four intimidating men were sitting, looking mighty as ever. The Chasia brothers.
I knew that they were domineering men, but seeing them like this, sitting looking like Greek gods and exuding their aura is different. My wolf and I whimper, but I force myself to stand tall. I’m an Alpha’s daughter after all.
“Hello, Caliana,” a handsome man in his mid-twenties stood up. From the pictures on the internet, I recognized him as Jamal, the second brother and face of the company. He was the pack beta too. I tried to remember what was said about him in the article.
‘The golden angel of the west,’ He looked like one, he had a friendly mask on but behind it, he was as dangerous as the rest.
“Hello,” I greeted him timidly. He held my hand gently and guided me to a seat next to
Alpha Edward, who didn’t even spare me a glance.
“Caliana, welcome to the family, these are my brothers; Marcus and Marcos, the twins,” beta Jamal introduced. The twins are good looking too, with only small features that tell them apart, like their hair and eyes, while Marcus has dirty blonde hair, and brown eyes like Jamal. Marcos had jet-black hair like Alpha Edward and mesmerizing gray-blue eyes.
The twins wave at me, and curtly nod, their faces as serious as their elder brother.
“Do I have to introduce her to you, brother, or will you do that honor?” Jamal asked the Alpha, who sighed in exasperation, as if this was boring for him. Why did he hate me?
“Well, I’ll do it then,” Beta Jamal smiled. How is he able to be so polite? The Chasia brothers were supposed to be conceited and rude.
‘Jamal is the angel,’
“That one there is Edward, the eldest,” he said quickly, and I nodded. My eyes rushed to Alpha, to see if he’d nod or just look at me but he didn’t and it broke my heart.
As we started to eat, Marcos and Marcus talked about their killing, and they explained in detail how they slayed over ten Lycans. A chill went down my body and choked on my salad, making them go quiet and look at me. I bit my bottom lip nervously. I was hoping that they would forget I was there for the rest of the dinner.
“I gave his heart to the wild wolves and their masters’ bodies to my lions. It was exciting.”
“Wasn’t the other guy alive though?”
“It was so fun to see. I think we should host games like that during the festivities,”
The thought that Marcus would suggest offering people to lions and wild wolves for sport made my stomach churn and I got up, ran to the nearest faucet, and threw up all my dinner… I heard the twins laugh and I shook my head, deciding not to go back there and just go upstairs to my room.
I wore my black silk dress for bed, before I could close my eyes, the door opened and the Alpha walked in. Alpha Edward was standing there, taking steps towards the bed with a look of menace in his grey eyes. I held the mattress tighter. He put a knee on the bed and grabbed my chin so that I’m facing him. At this point, my heart was about to fly out of my chest and I had goosebumps on my skin. My wolf was howling in happiness at this proximity to her mate.
“Hello, Mate,” His voice was deep and sexy. My breath convulsed and he smirked. “I just came to tell you the rules,” he said, retreating from me as quickly as possible. I whimpered at the loss of contact.
“What- what- rules?” I stuttered in a quiet voice.
Caliana’s POV
He stared at me, almost longingly, but he blinked before his facial features hardened.
“You are here to please me and I will do as I want. You cannot run away because I’ll find you and kill not only you but your whole pack and, lastly, no one will know about our bond,” he warned, and before I could open my mouth to speak, he left the room.
Tears welled in my eyes but I refused to cry. If he didn’t want to accept the bond between us, that was fine. However, I couldn’t help but worry. Was this the life that was destined for me? A life of rejection and misery?
The next morning,I woke up with puffy eyes, showing how much I had cried. The door opened and I didn’t have to remove the covers to know it was Juanita. The young girl’s cheerful voice was enough to tell me, she came to tell me that breakfast would be ready in twenty minutes.
I got up as soon as she left and took a shower, I wore a low-cut dress and fixed my hair and makeup most adhering, before I went downstairs. I hope they don’t eat breakfast together too. Dinner is enough, goddess. Please do this solid for me and I’ll forgive you for the situation you put me through. I prayed silently.
My hands nervously tugged my dress as I went downstairs. I was dreading finding my mate or the brothers, even though Jamal is polite enough. I reached the dining room where the three brothers were sitting in their usual place. Unfortunately, Jamal was not around.
“Good morning,” I tried to sound as normal as I could, they nodded, and Marcos even gave me a tiny smile. As I took my seat, my gaze swayed towards my mate. He wasn’t looking at me. Alpha Edward might not have said the words, but he was rejecting me as a mate with his attitude and it hurt more than I’d expected. I knew he wasn’t a good man, but I expected some sort of kindness, since we are mates. I slowly started to eat when Marcus said, “People are excited that they have a new Luna,” He was teasing his elder brother and with the way he reacted, he got what he wanted. Alpha Edward glared at me in annoyance and continued to eat his sausage.
“She’s here as Luna, right, Edward?” asked Marcos. They always talk about me as if I’m not there!
“Yes,” came Alpha Edward’s curt reply.
“Candace will flip, she thinks you’ll make her Luna,” My angry eyes snap at the Alpha, and jealousy takes over me. I grip my knife tightly against my hand until my knuckles are white.
“Easy Luna, she’s just his main whore, no need to cut yourself over it,” Marcus winks and I’m livid by how casually he says it. As if it meant nothing at all.
“He likes blondes with big boobs,” he said, pointing out what I wasn’t… My breasts are not too big and I’m a brunette.
“But it’s fine, you’re more beautiful than she is,” Marcos adds, his sinister eyes stuck on the Alpha who seems tired of their games already.
“Don’t you think so, brother?”
“I’m leaving,” Alpha Edward got to his feet and turned on his heels to walk away from us. Deciding that I’m done eating, I go back to my room and sit on the couch. I was so bored in this place.
The door opens a few minutes later and Lena walks in, a few other servants behind her. They all bow to me at once and a huge man brings in a rank of clothes.
“What’s going on?” I asked softly,
“Today is the Luna introduction party and everyone who’s who will be in attendance,” She informs me. I started to fidget with my fingers, tapping them against my dress.
“It’s alright, Ma’am, we are all here to help you get ready,”
“Yes, you’ll be the prettiest in the room, I’m a professional,” a ginger head says with a smile. I smiled back at her.
We first started by picking out a dress. Lena said it should be elegant and no skin must show but Catia, the stylist argued. She said it can be elegant and sexy too. She picked out a beautiful cream-white strapless dress that had a slightly low neckline only to tease and a long slit on my thigh. My hair was styled in a bun that left some strands loose and I wore nice heels that went well with my look.
“Perfect,”
“We forgot the red lipstick and also, the guests are starting to arrive,” I didn’t realize that it was past 6 already, we took 6 hours just to get ready!
I stared back in the mirror pleased with myself and nodded that I was ready. I made my appearance and looked down at the people in the ballroom. They all lifted their necks to me as I walked gently down the stairs, making sure to keep my head high even though I was nervous. My eyes found someone among the crowd, Alpha Edward. He was in awe, ogling me and I felt pleased. I kept my eyes only on him and it calmed my nerves, I felt… safe.
“Beautiful,” Jamal smiled as he extended his hand to me. I took it and he helped me down the two remaining stairs.
“Ladies and gentlemen, meet your new Luna, Caliana Meyers of Dandelion Stone Pack,” he announced. The crowd was silent for a few seconds, and to my surprise, the crowd erupted in cheers and I felt relief wash over me.
They each came to greet me politely and complimented me on my outfit or how beautiful I was. Some ladies my age even invited me to go shopping with them or for tea and lunch. I couldn’t believe it. Was this the ruthless “Golden Stone Pack of the mighty Lycans? A group of girls glared my way. I could tell by their hair and dress that these were the mean girls of the pack, the ones who were believed to be better than the others. I smiled at them and went to greet them. They were plain rude to me.
“Don’t get too comfortable, you are just a wolf and we are Lycans, you are under us,” The girl with the perfect blonde hair and a short sequin dress said, before I could retort, I heard his voice… the voice that made me shiver in delight and fear.
