"You have to be joking." <br /> Garrett? Garrett Hunter?? The disfigured, rejected brother of Matthew? This had to be some sort of joke. They couldn't possibly be serious. But her parents were not laughing.<br /> "This is no joke. You will be marrying Garrett Hunter."<br /> "I am his fated mate. We're meant to be together. Why would he want to reject me? There must be a mistake!"<br /> "Lily, you're an omega. No respectable Alpha would want you as their Luna. We're saving you the agony of having to deal with your mate having a mistress," her mother explained.<br /> ______________<br /> Lily Bray stood in front of the mirror admiring herself. Her skin glowed from her previous run with the pups of the pack. Even though she was the daughter of the Alpha, she enjoyed helping out with the pups.<br /> 'You should wear the red dress,' Dina, her wolf, suggested.<br /> 'You're just being petty,' Lily replied as she looked at the dresses on her bed. The festive red would be the best choice since all her other dresses were too bright for the winter. She picked it up and looked at herself in the mirror.<br /> 'No, I'm not. Matthew said we look nice in red. We should wear it! It's also one of the colors in his pack,' Dina added.<br /> Lily smiled at the thought of wearing the colors of the Grey Blood Pack. She, of course, was going to be their Luna after the mating ceremony. The very thought of it made her blush. Who would've thought that she would be mated to a future Alpha?<br /> 'We deserve it, no matter our rank! Matthew doesn't care that we are an Omega, so we shouldn't care anymore either,' Dina said confidently, 'Put on the red dress.'<br /> Lily didn't need to be convinced as she quickly began to get dressed. She could hear the clicking of heels and immediately knew who it was before she heard the voice.<br /> "Lily, what's taking you so long?" Her sister, Brandy, yelled from outside her bedroom door.<br /> "Coming!" Lily quickly put on lip gloss and smoothed out the wrinkles in her festive red dress before rushing to the door. She opened it to see Brandy standing there looking uninterested as always.<br /> "Took you long enough," Brandy said. She looked her up and down and her eye twitched slightly before saying, "Cute dress." Anyone that didn't know Brandy would have thought she was complimenting Lily, but Lily knew better. Brandy disapproved of everything she wore and did.<br /> "You're just upset that you couldn't find the dress in your size," Lily retorted. She knew that Brandy was looking at the dress. It wasn't her finest moment to be so petty, but she found some satisfaction from it as Brandy always got what she wanted.<br /> Brandy replied with a scowl, "That dress is old news. I found one that was much better and more fitting for me." She walked past Lily, making sure to bump her with her shoulder. Lily resisted the urge to snarl. She would not let her ruin the evening.<br /> Brandy wore a low-cut black form-fitting dress with black heels. Her hair was pulled up high in a ponytail. She had blush on her cheek, and she wore bright red lipstick.<br /> 'She looks like a street walker and ugly at that,' Dina commented.<br /> 'That's not nice,' Lily responded.<br /> 'It's the truth. You should hear what Mable says about you. Brandy can't even dress decently at home. Who is she flaunting for?' Dina countered.<br /> Dina never liked Brandy as she tormented Lily growing up. Everything had to be her way and if Lily resisted, Brandy made sure to hurt her in some way. As soon as Lily could shift, Dina made it her business to take a swipe at Brandy.<br /> Lily and Brandy entered the dining hall where her parents were. They were sipping spirits and talking but stopped as soon as they entered.<br /> "Oh, you look so lovely!" her mother said to Brandy.<br /> Lily had to refrain from rolling her eyes as Brandy practically glowed from her mother's compliment. Brandy gave Lily a smug look before sitting next to their mother.<br /> Her mother gave Lily a momentary glance before saying, "Oh, Lily. You know, red isn't a good color for you, but at least you've been eating well at school. How are your studies going?"<br /> "I passed all my exams. Straight As again," Lily said happily.<br /> Lily sat down in front of Brandy, her mother, and her father. She thought it was odd that they were sitting across from her but pushed the thought out of her mind.<br /> Her mother casually remarked, "That's lovely, honey," before changing the subject as if concluding a formality. "Do you have that dress I mentioned, Brandy? The one in white?"<br /> "Yes, I did. I got it at a discount too. We had a credit once we returned the other dress," Brandy explained.<br /> Lily lost her enthusiasm when she understood that, yet again, no one was interested in what she had accomplished. She poured herself a glass of spirits and downed it. Lily looked at her father, who seemed too busy to greet her while he was looking at his phone.<br /> 'Do not worry about them. We have mates now. They will be our family,' Dina said to cheer Lily up. Lily only had to look forward to returning to her dorm and the upcoming mating ceremony. She would be where she was wanted, with Matthew.<br /> Her mother and Brandy had been conversing when her father cleared his throat, drawing their attention to him. Her father said, "I am happy that you are doing well in your studies, Lily, but there won't be a need to go back in the Spring."<br /> "What do you mean?" Lily asked.<br /> "Now that you are mated, it is not a productive use of your time. You must get ready to be a devoted mate," Her father responded.<br /> "Well, I can do both. I have already worked it out. I will be able to attend Luna lessons during the day and school at night," Lily explained. She spent a lot of time and effort with the academic advisor to make that arrangement.<br /> "That money could be used for something else, like your sister's mating ceremony," her father proposed.<br /> "Brandy! You have a mate?! That's exciting! Why didn't you tell me? We can go dress shopping together!" Lily exclaimed happily.<br /> Brandy scoffed and said, "You won't need a dress. Daddy, just tell her already. This is just sad."<br /> "Tell me what?" Lily said, looking confused as she turned to look back at her father. "Tell me what, Dad?"<br /> "I had a discussion with Alpha Jack of the Grey Blood Pack. His son, Matthew, will become the new Alpha in a few months. His father and I have agreed that Matthew needs to have a strong mate by his side to lead the pack successfully," Lily's father explained, "And that is not you." <br /> Lily felt as if her whole world had been turned upside down. She didn't know if she wanted to scream or cry. How could they make this decision for her?<br /> "In three days, you will attend the rejection ceremony, and then in a week, you will have a mating ceremony with someone more on your level, his brother, Garrett Hunter."<br /> Lily stared in horror at her father. She couldn't make sense of what he was saying. Why would Matthew reject her? When they talked on the phone all day, he never mentioned it.<br /> "You're joking," Lily said. "You have to be joking." <br /> Her father scowled at her because he disliked repeating himself. He paused for a moment to collect himself before saying, "This is no joke. You will be marrying Garrett Hunter."<br /> When Lily heard her father say those words, her heart sank. "I am his fated mate. We're meant to be together. Why would he want to reject me? There must be a mistake!"<br /> "Lily, you're an omega. No respectable Alpha would want you as their Luna. We're saving you the agony of having to deal with your mate having a mistress," her mother explained, "and it's not like you won't have a mate."<br /> "It's what you deserve, Lily. Garrett is perfect for you," Brandy said smugly. <br /> Garrett? Garrett Hunter?? The disfigured, rejected brother of Matthew? This had to be some sort of joke. They couldn't possibly be serious. But her parents were not laughing.<br /> Lily slid her seat back and stood up. She ran back to her room, slamming the door behind her. Brandy stood up to bring her back downstairs, but her mother stopped her.<br /> "Leave her alone. There is nowhere she can go. This is something she must accept," her mother stated.<br /> "Pick up the phone, Matthew. Come on!" Lily murmured as she dialed his number for the tenth time. It just rang again and again until it went to voicemail. Lily didn't bother leaving another voicemail because she had already left five.<br /> Lily sighed in frustration and tossed her phone to the floor before pacing the room. Why would her parents subject her to such cruelty? Wasn't it enough that they treated her like trash because she was an omega? But now they were going to take this away from her as well?!<br /> Lily nearly crashed into the wall to get to her phone when it buzzed on the bed. Her heart sank again when she realized it was Tiffany, not Matthew, calling. Lily answered the phone.<br /> "Hey girlie! It has been hours. What was the dinner about? Are you..." Tiffany started.<br /> Lily interjected and said, "Can I come over? I can't stay here. Please say yes."<br /> Hearing her tone, Tiffany became serious and asked, "What's wrong? Your sister is bothering you again?"<br /> "No. It's much worse. Please tell me I can come over," Lily pleaded.<br /> "Yes, you can come. I am not leaving for my parents' until tomorrow. Where are you? I can come to get you," Tiffany offered.<br /> "No. I will come to you," Lily said, "Thank you." She quickly hung up the phone. Lily went to her closet and grabbed an overnight bag. She yanked her dress off and changed into a t-shirt and workout pants.<br /> Lily then began packing items she didn't want to lose and enough clothes to get her through the holidays. She had no intention of coming back here.<br /> The door to her bedroom swung open, causing Lily to jump. She turned to see Mira, one of the omegas working in the kitchen. Mira placed her finger on her lips before she slowly closed the door behind her.<br /> "They told you," Mira said. It was more of a statement than a question. It made Lily sick to her stomach. Everyone had been smiling in her face. Did everyone but her know? It was humiliating that this was kept from her. "I was commanded not to tell you. I really wanted to."<br /> "It's fine, Mira. I know you wouldn't betray me," Lily responded. It would be physically impossible for Mira to go against a command. Perhaps if she were a Gamma or even a Beta, but as an Omega, the pain of it would have killed her wolf, which would've killed her.<br /> "I won't let them force me," Lily declared. "I can't let them take one of the only things that have made me happy."<br /> Mira and Lily grew very close growing up. As they were both omegas and Lily was excluded from high-ranking wolf activities, she spent most of her time with Mira. Mira's father, the pack doctor, was the reason she wanted to become a doctor in the first place.<br /> "Then, let me help you," Mira said, "I can get you out of here. They planned to leave you alone for the rest of the weekend."<br /> "You can't. If they find out..."<br /> "They'll assume I helped you even if I didn't. I'll be beaten no matter what, but I won't die," Mira countered, interrupting her. "Dad is already outside with a car to take you wherever you want to go."<br /> Lily hugged Mira tightly. Mira smiled slightly, wanting to go with her, but she was bound to the pack grounds. Leaving or even going rogue would harm her father's position in the pack. She couldn't risk it.<br /> "Thank you, Mira," Lily said.<br /> Tiffany opened her front door to see Lily standing like a beat dog in her doorway. Lily waved to the car that drove away. Tiffany pulled her into her home and quickly closed the door. Lily immediately began sobbing uncontrollably.<br /> "Lily, what's going on? What happened?" Tiffany asked, leading her to the sofa. She had already prepared Lily's favorite meal as well as hot cocoa.<br /> "They are trying to force me into a rejection ceremony," Lily managed to say.<br /> "What? Why? They can't do that. It'd be spitting in the Goddess' face. You could end up cursed or worse," Tiffany exclaimed.<br /> "They don't care. They don't think I'd be a fit for him because I'm an omega," Lily stated.<br /> "That's not up to them. That's up to the Goddess, and the Goddess wants you and Matthew to be together," Tiffany stated.<br /> "They don't see it that way. They..." Lily stopped in mid sentence as a horrible pain gripped her chest. She gasped as she clutched her chest and tried to slow her breathing.<br /> "Lily? Is it one of your panic attacks?" Tiffany asked.<br /> Lily could only nod, unable to speak as she concentrated on breathing as the pain radiated through her. She suffered from panic attacks for a long time. Lily assumed it was because of stress. It would eventually fade, thanks to Dina's assistance.<br /> Lily gasped in relief as the pain began to fade, and she said, "I'm okay now."<br /> "You need to speak with Matthew. You two can elope, and they won't be able to do anything about it,"<br /> "Elope?"<br /> "Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?" Tiffany asked as she walked Lily out of her apartment. She didn't want to leave her in such a terrible situation.<br /> "No, I need to do this alone," Lily answered with a weak smile. She couldn't get in contact with Matthew all night. Lily needed to speak with him. Whatever happened between her and Matthew, she would have to deal with it alone. Lily didn't want to get her too caught up in her family drama.<br /> "Well, you know where my spare key is," Tiffany said.<br /> "Don't worry about me. I'll be okay. Matthew and I will elope, and everything will be fine," Lily said.<br /> Tiffany smiled slightly, but Lily noticed that her eyes looked somewhat sad. She had known Tiffany long enough to know that she was holding back. Before Lily could ask Tiffany what she was thinking, Lily's cab arrived.<br /> Tiffany hugged her again and said, "Keep me updated. You know my parents will accept you with open arms. They said the offer is still open if you want to join my pack."<br /> Lily nodded and got into the cab. She waved goodbye before telling the cab driver, "10 Armstead Place." The cab driver nodded and drove off.<br /> The drive didn't take long. All the while, she could feel a stabbing pain in her chance. It was another anxiety attack. She had never felt so bad before.<br /> "Ma'am, are you okay?" the cab driver asked, noticing her distress.<br /> "Yes, I am fine. Thank you," Lily answered. "Just having a little panic attack, I think."<br /> 'It's the stress,' Dina said to her. 'I am doing everything I can to dull it. I can't reach Baldur. I don't know why he isn't responding to me. Do you think our father or maybe his father did something?'<br /> Baldur was Matthew's wolf. He was as happy as Dina when they learned that they were mates. As much as Lily and Matthew talked on the phone, Dina and Baldur communicated more telepathically.<br /> 'It could be. I can't believe it. I don't want to believe that Matthew would agree to this. Maybe he is cutting off all communication because he doesn't want anyone to find him. No one knows about his apartment in the city,' Lily responded.<br /> The city was a neutral zone for all supernatural creatures. Pack hierarchy or mutual dislike of different races wasn't tolerated here. The elders made it a point that all supernatural children grew up aware of others to squash any ignorance. It was a good idea in theory, but many outside factors were at play. People couldn't help but judge one another.<br /> "We're here," the cab driver said, bringing Lily out of her thoughts. She pulled out $40 from her wallet and said, "Keep the change." She got out of the car and rushed up the steps to Matthew's apartment.<br /> Lily had been there more than once over the weekend. Her family never knew when she was home, and she wanted to keep it that way. When it would get bad at home, Matthew was a reprieve for her as Lily didn't want to have to deal with her family any more than she had to.<br /> Lily quickly grabbed the spare key under the mat and opened the door. She stepped into his apartment, and the pain seemed to intensify. Lily gripped her chest and almost fell face-first into the carpet. She used the wall to move further into his apartment.<br /> There was a smell that she couldn't quite place. It made her hackles rise. She felt angry for no reason.<br /> 'Find him now,' Dina growled within her.<br /> 'What's wrong?' Lily asked, but Dina only responded with a growl.<br /> "Oh, Matthew, deeper! Oh, yes! Pull my hair!"<br /> An all-too-familiar voice broke the silence, and Lily could now hear the slapping of skin. As she approached his bedroom, it became increasingly louder. Lily swallowed hard as she tried to process what she was hearing and what she didn't want to believe was happening. Lily's hand shivered as she was about to place her hand on the door.<br /> 'We must see this,' Dina growled. 'Open the door.'<br /> Lily slowly pushed open the door. There in front of her was Brandy, her sister, on all knees, back arched, while her fated mate was thrusting in her with abandon. Brandy lifted her head and smirked at Lily. It finally clicked now.<br /> Matthew didn't answer his phone because he was with her.<br /> The anxiety attacks, the waves of pain were Matthew making love to her.<br /> Lily was almost catatonic as she watched the betrayal before her eyes. This was supposed to be her. She had waited years for him, and here he was having intercourse with this bimbo in front of her.<br /> "Oh, I'm coming," Matthew groaned as he released into Brandy. Brandy's eyes rolled in satisfaction as she bounced back against Matthew, milking him of every drop.<br /> Lily gripped the side of the door frame, her claws going straight through as she tried to compose herself. The sudden movement caused Matthew to look up. His eyes widened in surprise when he saw her.<br /> "Oh hello, sister. Did you enjoy the show?" Brandy mocked as Lily walked into the room. Lily said nothing as she approached Brandy. With all her might, Lily slapped Brandy hard enough to send her into the headboard.<br /> "You bimbo!" Brandy yelled as she gripped her head in pain. Lily slapped her again before Matthew caught her wrist. She used her other hand to slap Matthew across the face with strength she didn't know she had. Her claws left gashes on the side of his face.<br /> "Lily, what the heck?" Matthew exclaimed.<br /> "Don't ever speak to us, you filthy dog," Lily growled out. Her eyes were silver as it was Dina now talking. "All this time, you betrayed us for this bimbo!"<br /> "You have to understand, Lily. I didn't have a choice. I..."<br /> "Enough of your lies! I will go through with the rejection ceremony. We can do it tonight because I want to be rid of you. I'll take whatever curse the Goddess dishes out!" Lily screamed before storming out, leaving the door wide open.<br /> "Don't you think that is inappropriate?" Kenneth asked his Luna from the doorway of their bedroom. <br /> "Not at all. It is a joyous occasion," Mandy said as she applied burgundy lipstick and stood up. She brushed the wrinkles out of her blue sweater dress as she looked herself over in the mirror before approaching him with a slight smile. "You should change. That suit is so depressing."<br /> "The suit is proper attire for the custom. You shouldn't take this much glee in her suffering," Kenneth responded, causing Mandy to frown. <br /> Mandy scoffed and said, "Don't try to act like you care about the little brat now. Don't be a hypocrite. You could care less and this arrangement will benefit the both of us."<br /> "At least make it believable in front of the Hunters," Kenneth reasoned. Mandy rolled her eyes. Of course she would behave. What kind of idiot did he take her for?<br /> "Come. You wouldn't want to keep Lily waiting," Mandy said condescendingly. <br /> Again, Kenneth didn't respond and followed Mandy to the entertainment hall. Both packs were in attendance. Both acknowledged their presence, showing their necks to them both. <br /> Alpha Jack and Luna Kelly looked agitated by the entire situation. The Luna of Grey Blood Pack was very against the rejection ceremony. However, she didn't have much say in the situation since both Alphas agreed to it. <br /> "Where is she?" Kenneth asked one of the omegas that were serving spirits. <br /> "She is coming, my Alpha. We are watching her closely. There is no chance she will run away again," the omega answered. <br /> Kenneth nodded and walked to the stage with Jack following behind him. He took a spoon to his spirits glass to get everyone's attention. <br /> "Thank you for joining us here tonight to celebrate the union of two great packs," Kenneth began and turned to Jack, "It is an honor that our packs will be united." <br /> "Yes, we look forward to our unified strength," Jack nodded. <br /> "Lily, Brandy, and Matthew Hunter, please come up here," Kenneth said. <br /> Brandy quickly came to greet her father. Kenneth frowned at her attire as he reluctantly hugged her. She was always scantily clad, even after telling her to dress appropriately for the occasion. <br /> 'Like mother, like daughter,' Kenneth's wolf, Jasper, said before growling in irritation at seeing Matthew. Kenneth had recently learned that Matthew had been sleeping with Brandy behind Lily's back. As a father and a believer of old customs, he wanted to choke him, but it was better this way. At least one of his daughters would be a proper Luna.<br /> 'We should tear his throat out for humiliating Lily,' Jasper growled.<br /> 'Calm down,' Kenneth told him.<br /> 'You're a pathetic father,' Jasper responded before blocking himself from Kenneth like he always did. <br /> After a few minutes, Lily did not show. Kenneth frowned and he spoke over the microphone, "Where is Lily? Bring her here!" He didn't need her defying him in front of both packs. This union had to happen. <br /> "I am here, father!"<br /> Matthew stood on the stage awkwardly. He didn't expect that both packs would be here for this. Matthew assumed that this would be a private affair, but he knew his mother had to have had a hand in this. <br /> Kelly had been horrified and disappointed in Matthew when she discovered that Matthew had been sleeping with Lily's little sister. No one in their line had ever denied the Moon Goddess' will up until now. The only thing that calmed her was that Lily would still marry into the pack. <br /> Matthew didn't really want to be mated with Brandy. He just wanted to have fun before he was forever bound to Lily. However, he understood why his father wanted him to mate Mandy instead. An Alpha had to be seen as strong. A weak Luna was a liability. He could not rule a pack with an omega Luna.<br /> 'It is not the right choice!' Baldur growled within him. 'Why did the Moon Goddess curse me to be bonded to you until death? She is meant for us! You know it!'<br /> 'There is nothing we can do now. It is done,' Matthew responded.<br /> 'You fool. You're going to regret this.' Baldur warned before Matthew suppressed him again like he always did when he didn't want to hear what he had to say. <br /> After Kenneth and his father Jack's speech, there was a pause as they waited for Lily to appear. She had not shown up, which infuriated Kenneth. As he demanded to know where Lily was, her voice rang out. <br /> "I am here, father!"<br /> Lily emerged from the crowd, taking Matthew's breath away. There were murmurs from the crowd as they watched Lily. She wore a simple form-fitting strapless white dress with an overlay of lace. Her hair was pulled up in a bun, and a white veil covered her face. Lily wore her wedding dress to the rejection ceremony. <br /> When she got to the stage, she hugged her father, ignored Mandy, and curtsied to Alpha Jack and Luna Kelly before taking her position in front of Matthew. Lily kept a calm expression, but Matthew could see the fury in Lily's eyes. <br /> "Lily, I..." Matthew started, but she raised her hand, stopping him. <br /> Lily gave her hand to Jack and nodded to him. Jack smirked. This little female had sass. It was a shame that she was not an Alpha. Jack took the ceremonial blade and cut her palm. Matthew gave his hand to Kenneth, and he cut Matthew's hand. <br /> "I... I..." Matthew stammered. He found that he could not bring himself to say the words. Everything in him told him it was wrong. "Father, I can't. I..."<br /> "I, Lily Bray, the first-born daughter of Alpha Kenneth Bray, and my wolf, Dina, reject you, Matthew Hunter, the first-born son of Kenneth Hunter, and your wolf Baldur for your betrayal of our mate bond with my sister, Brandy," Lily said firmly as she grabbed Matthew's hand.

Continue to read "Secretly Living With My Boss" π | βThatβs really good. I thought youβd stay in New York without a job for a long time. So, when can you send us money?β her mom asked, causing the smile on her lips to disappear.<br /> She sighed, βWell, Mom, itβs on the payday, at the end of the month.β<br /> βAt the end of the month? Thatβs long enough of waiting. What will your siblings eat? Shall we just let ourselves go hungry and wait for your remittance at the end of the month? Canβt you give it in advance? Find a way, daughter,β her mom ordered, and she didnβt know how to find a solution.<br /> βMom, it wouldnβt be good if I cash advance from my job right away. I might get a bad reputation. Itβs my first time there,β she explained to her mom, hoping she would have mercy.<br /> βI donβt think so. If you cash advance, youβll pay it from your salary, right? I know that, daughter. Even though I didnβt get an education, I wonβt be beaten in things like that. So, find a solution,β her mom insisted. She didnβt speak anymore. She didnβt make excuses that she might not be able to do it. And like she always says, βAlright, Mom. Iβll find a way,β she just said to end their conversation.<br /> After saying goodbye, she put down the telephone. She thought that knowing about her job would add to her happiness, but now she has more problems to worry about.<br /> βLeave it for tomorrow,β she whispered before going to sleep.<br /> ***<br /> Just like she told her boss, she arrived at the company at 5am. Luckily, Mr. Salazar had already endorsed her. At the reception, she was given the key to her bossβ office, so she decided to go up and see what she could do in the office while waiting for him.<br /> When she entered the office, she saw an empty desk outside. It looked like that would be her workstation in the office, so she placed her things there. Next, she entered Mr. Salazarβs office, and she also saw that it was clean and there was nothing else to tidy up or fix, so she just wandered around. It seemed as if she memorized the locations of the files or whatever he could ask her to do.<br /> She turned on the aircon and the humidifier and sprayed the air freshener so that by the time her boss arrived, the office would be refreshing. After that, she went out and made coffee in the coffee maker so it would be ready when her boss arrived.<br /> βPsst! Are you the new one?β she heard someone whisper near the door.<br /> She turned and saw a tall woman wearing office attire. She was beautiful and sexy, her cleavage was showing, she had curly hair and her makeup was done nicely.<br /> βWow, the atmosphere here is intense, I was not prepared.β<br /> Even though her eyebrows were raised, she smiled at her. βGood morning. Yes, Iβm Hestia Coronel, the new secretary of Mr. Salazar. How can I help you, Maβam?β she asked, and the woman raised her eyebrows even more.<br /> βMs. Coronel, Iβm Kelly Anderson,β she introduced herself and stood in front of her. βNow that youβre new here in the office, you should know the people you should look up to. Remember your position here as secretary. Just secretary. Donβt attempt anything towards Sir Raven, because he is taken. Is it clear?β she asked while smirking.<br /> She nodded, still smiling. βYes, donβt worry, Maβam, I know my position here as secretary and I will stay professional, I assure you that.β<br /> βWell, thatβs good to hear. Just in case you see someone getting close to Sir Raven, you tell me right away, okay?β<br /> Because of what she said, Hestia raised her eyebrows. She wondered who this woman was in her bossβ life, but she didnβt ask any more as she might offend her.<br /> βGood morning, Ms. Coronel,β she heard a voice after a knock on the door. She saw that it was another woman. She looked at Kelly and it seemed like she didnβt expect to see her there. βMs. Kelly? I didnβt know you were here.β<br /> βGood morning, Sandra, Iβm leaving too. I just talked to Ms. Coronel,β she reasoned out before looking at her. βRemember our deal, Ms. Coronel. Iβm leaving now, donβt make a mistake,β she said and then left.<br /> Hestia furrowed her brows at what she said.<br /> βDo you have a deal with Ms. Anderson?β the woman asked her.<br /> Hestia shook her head. βI donβt know. We donβt have a deal, but she told me to always remember my place as a secretary and tell her if someone is getting close to Sir.β<br /> Because of what she said, the woman laughed. βOh my! Donβt mind her. Kelly is like that with newbies, especially here in Sir Salazarβs office. But Kelly is from the treasury department. Her office is on the 5th floor, and theyβre quite curious about Mr. Salazarβs new secretary. Thatβs just how she welcomes newbies so be careful with her.β<br /> βOh dear, I thought she was Sirβs girlfriend. Sheβs just an employee. I almost believed that she was Sirβs girlfriend.β<br /> βI thought she was Mr. Salazarβs partner.β<br /> βWhat? Oh, no, many people just develop feelings for Sir, but heβs single. Thatβs why many are getting close to him like Kelly, hoping for a Cinderella story,β she said with a smile.<br /> βOh, I see. Thatβs good then,β she said and furrowed her brows assuming that it was about her, so she retracted her statement. βWhat I meant is, itβs good that there is none yet, but it seems impossible for Sir to not have a girlfriend? With his wealth and good looks? None at all?! Oh, wait, Maβam, whatβs your name by the way?β she asked because sheβs been talking to her, but she still doesnβt know her name. <br /> The woman sheβs talking to smiled frugally and shook her hands. βIβm Sandra Villarde, Iβm the HR supervisor, and I also became Sirβs temporary secretary when his previous secretary left.β<br /> βOh my! Sheβs the HR! I was just chatting away!β<br /> Her eyes widened, βOh, Maβam! Hello! Iβm sorry for chatting.β<br /> βThatβs okay, and just call me Sandra. By the way, youβre early.β She looked at her wristwatch. βBut I think thatβs perfect, so Iβll have time to give you a tour before Sir arrives,β she said, handing her a leather notebook. βHereβs the schedule of Mr. Salazar for the whole week. Youβre lucky he doesnβt have many meetings today, except for the board meeting in the afternoon.β<br /> βOkay, Maβam, noted,β she said, opening the notebook to look at her bossβ schedule. She saw that he didnβt have many appointments today, but tomorrow would be a busy day.<br /> The woman handed her something else, βAnd this one is the guidelines you need to review for your job, the companyβs by-laws and rules, and this one is some notes I made about Sir Salazar,β she said with a wide smile.<br /> βThe HR lady is really nice, and she even gave me notes about Mr. Salazar. This will be a big help for me, especially in avoiding a bad impression with him.β<br /> βAs you can see, it says there that he needs to be at the office by 8 am sharp. Heβs not strict about being late, so itβs okay if youβre late. When it comes to leaving, donβt go home right away. Do overtime even if heβs not around. Mr. Salazar is nice, but a bit strict, and of course, a perfectionist.β<br /> She nodded, βOkay, Maβam, noted.β<br /> βAnd donβt forget his coffee every morning. He likes it creamy with three spoons of sugar,β she instructed again, and she nodded once more.<br /> She didnβt expect that her boss likes his coffee sweet.<br /> βThereβs a cafeteria here. Since itβs still early, we can have breakfast first, then Iβll give you a tour,β she invited her before they left the room.<br /> While walking, she didnβt know if it was the right timing, but the woman seemed nice, so she took the chance. βMaβam, I know this might be shameless of me to ask, especially since itβs my first day today, but Maβam, is it possible for me to get a cash advance? Itβs an emergency, I really need it.β<br /> She stopped at her words and stared at her. It seemed like she didnβt expect what she was about to say. She wonβt be surprised if sheβs being judged now.<br /> βOh, no! Eat me, ground!β<br /> βMaβam, never mind, forget what I said,β she quickly apologized.<br /> The woman shook her head, βNo, um... Iβm not expecting you to ask that. Itβs just thatβ¦ itβs the first time someone asked for a cash advance on their first day.β<br /> βThatβs what I also thought,β she said shyly, feeling like hiding under the table.<br /> βItβs not possible. But because Mr. Salazar is your boss, you need his approval. Wait, I have a form here,β she said, opening her clipboard and handing her something. βHere, just have him sign this and give it back to me so we can process it with the accounting department.β<br /> ***<br /> Raven walked up to his office, and as he opened the door, the new secretary greeted him right away. She was dressed neatlyβnot provocative and looked respectable. But she wasnβt overly covered either. She also had makeup on, but it wasnβt too heavy. Her glasses suited her.<br /> Aside from that, he noticed the big smile on her face.<br /> βGood morning, Sir. Iβm Hestia Anββ<br /> βYes, I know you. No need to introduce yourself again,β he interrupted, causing her to fall silent. He pursed his lips and nodded. He glanced at his wristwatch. βYouβre early. Itβs only 7:30.β<br /> βYes, Sir! I told you Iβve been here since 5 am,β she replied.<br /> He frowned but didnβt bother asking further. Itβs rare for a secretary to arrive before him. βDid you meet Sandra?β<br /> βYes, Sir,β she replied respectfully.<br /> Raven nodded. βDid she show you around?β<br /> βYes, Sir. She also gave me my ID and everything I need for work.β<br /> βGood, thatβs good then.β Raven thought to himself that it didnβt seem bad that he chose her as his secretary.<br /> βAnd, Sir, I already prepared your coffee, so please go inside, and Iβll bring it to you,β she said, so he turned around and went inside.<br /> As he entered, he didnβt expect what he saw.<br /> The air conditioning was already on, and it smelled nice. Itβs good that she did it on her own.<br /> He sat in his swivel chair, and soon she came in and handed him his coffee.<br /> βSir, hereβs your coffee, just the way you like it,β she said, making him curious.<br /> He accepted the coffee and took a sip, but soon spat it out. βSon of a! Is this coffee or just pure sugar?! Why is it so sweet?! I donβt want sugar in my coffee!β Raven shouted, so the girl suddenly stilled.<br /> βI hate it when everything goes wrong early in the morning!β Raven yelled, causing Hestia to panic.<br /> All Hestia could think about was the fear of getting fired. On her first day, she had already messed up, and she dreaded the possibility of her boss getting irritated and firing her. She couldnβt afford to lose this job, as she didnβt know where else she would end up. So, even though she felt disheartened and on the verge of tears, she quickly apologized to her boss.<br /> βSorry, Sir. I apologize. Sir... Iβll clean this up,β she pleaded with Raven before focusing on the spilled coffee. She didnβt even mind that the coffee had stained her blouse. She rushed to find a cloth to wipe the spilled liquid off the floor.<br /> As she cleaned the floor and caught a glimpse of her reflection, she couldnβt help but feel sorry for herself. Not because of what she was doing at that moment, but because of the reason why it had happened. Sandra had instructed her to put sugar in her bossβ coffee. Sandra used to be Ravenβs temporary secretary, so she should have known that he didnβt like sugar in his coffee. But thatβs what Sandra had told her to do, deliberately provoking Raven even though she knew he would be angry. <br /> What was the point? To get scolded? She used to think that her dear Maβam Sandra cared for her, that she looked out for her, but apparently, she didnβt. She didnβt expect that the person she trusted would do this to her. In that moment, she couldnβt hold back her tears. She wiped them off her cheek and tried to stop them from pouring, but she was overcome with intense emotions. Her tears started flowing again.<br /> βAre you crying?β her boss asked, his annoyance still evident in his voice. βStop with all the apologies and do something! I donβt want a weepy secretary. Fix yourself up, stand there! And one more thing? Youβre my secretary, why are you the one cleaning? Are you a janitor?β he sarcastically remarked, causing Hestia to freeze.<br /> She panicked once again at his tone of speech.<br /> She quickly stood up, wiped away her tears, and looked at Raven, saying, βSorryββ<br /> βStop apologizing and get moving! Go to the powder room and fix yourself!β he shouted, and he knew she heard him.<br /> ---<br /> Raven noticed Hestiaβs panic as she ran towards the powder room, her blouse drenched with coffee that he accidentally spilled on his secretary. He admitted that he kind of felt guilty for dirtying her clothes. He couldnβt handle another secretary resigning on him, especially not after ten secretaries who had resigned out of fear. Most of them didnβt even last a day with him. His schedule was such a mess, and he didnβt want Sandra to return as his secretary either.<br /> He glanced at the form that fell from her when she dashed into the powder room. He picked it up and saw that it was a cash advance form. He quickly pocketed the paper and looked towards the powder room. βIβll go ahead to the conference room, you follow there immediately, make it quick!β he shouted, and he knows that Hestia heard him.<br /> He grabbed his laptop and left the office to get to the conference room first. He just hoped that Hestia would follow him there. Unlike his other secretaries who didnβt finish the day and just escaped. He wanted to wait for her, but he might be late for the important board meeting today.<br /> ---<br /> βYou can do this, Hestia. Donβt lose hope, you need this job because otherwise, youβll go hungry,β she told herself while looking at her reflection in the mirror.<br /> Compared to earlier, she was now a bit calmer. She needed to calm herself down if she wanted to get anywhere. So, she decided to follow Sir Raven quickly, or else she might lose her job if she lingered too long in the powder room. She walked out of the powder room and looked at her stained blouse. She grabbed her coat hanging on her chair and put it on to hide the stain. After that, she headed to the conference room where the other board members were waiting. She saw her boss having coffee at the coffee corner of the room, so she approached him.<br /> βGood, my secretary is here. Letβs start,β he said, carrying his cup of coffee and sitting at the end of the table.<br /> Hestia was speechless, realizing that she was the only one he had been waiting for.<br /> How embarrassing! She felt like hiding under the table out of shame, especially since everyone in the room was looking at her, probably thinking she was trying to be important. She approached her boss and sat on the vacant chair beside him. She sat there and took out her notebook and cellphone, then opened the recorder to record the discussions in the meeting.<br /> <br /> βTake the minutes of this meeting,β Raven whispered to her, and she nodded. βThen we will talk after this,β he added.<br /> <br /> Because of that, she became nervous again, thinking that she might hear a terrifying sermon from her boss later.<br /> <br /> βHe might fire me!β<br /> Thatβs what she shouted in her mind. At this moment, she felt like crying again, feeling scared. But she held back, and focused on the meeting, hoping that Raven wouldnβt notice her wandering thoughts and that she would be focused on their conversation.<br /> <br /> The board meeting started, and she did her job as the secretary. Aside from recording the discussions so she wouldnβt forget anything, she also started taking down notes to make it easier for her to transfer them into the report she would pass to Raven.<br /> <br /> She glanced at her boss who was speaking directly, and it was obvious that aside from his good looks, he also seemed intelligent. She thought that maybe the reason why this business was successful was because of her bossβ intelligence in running it.<br /> <br /> The meeting, which was about the new products that needed to be launched, lasted all day, so they had lunch there as well. Food was served to them while the meeting continued. And it was almost four oβclock when it ended.<br /> <br /> One by one, everyone left the room. She folded her notebook before looking at her boss who was talking to one of the managers in this company. After that, Raven excused himself and looked at her.<br /> <br /> βLetβs go, I still need to talk to you before you go home,β Raven said to her before leaving the room without a glance.<br /> <br /> Her heart was pounding as she followed him back to their office. On their way there, she repeatedly thought about what she would say, her pleas if Raven would say that she was going to be fired. So, when they arrived at the office and Raven hadnβt even sat on his swivel chair yet, she burst into tears and begged for mercy for whatever he might say.<br /> <br /> βItβs better to say it first before he tells me that Iβm fired.β<br /> <br /> βSir! Sir! Please, I beg of you!β she said before kneeling and approaching Raven. βIβm really sorry, Sir! It wonβt happen again! I wonβt make a mistake in preparing your coffee. I wonβt be late for the meeting!β she continued, with her eyes closed, and approached Raven. At this moment, she didnβt hesitate to embrace Ravenβs legs while still pleading. βPlease, Sir! Donβt fire me! I need this job! Please donβt let me go,β she begged, not caring where her face was, while hugging Raven.<br /> <br /> Raven placed his hand on his face when he felt Hestiaβs face right in the middle of his lower body, where his readiness was hidden and was now being affected by it.<br /> <br /> βHesββ He tried calling her name, but the embrace tightened, and her head was pressed closer to the center of his pants.<br /> <br /> βSir! Please! I wonβt let go until you tell me that you wonβt fire me!β she pleaded, while pressing her face even more on what she thought was just his knee. Until she felt something hard and throbbing inside his pants, which she felt on her cheek. Because of that, she opened her eyes and saw where her face was facing.<br /> <br /> πππ<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to open Dreame to continue reading"Secretly Living With My Boss"<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book) | INSTALL_MOBILE_APP | http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.d | 192144063986866 | Dreame Great Stories | https://facebook.com/61554881265921 | 18 | 3 | 1,516,957,772,185,647 | 2024-04-10 02:00 | person_profile | eligible | 0 | 0 | NONE | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | Install now | 0 | Dreame Great Stories | 120208549627360577 | play.google.com | NONE | image | Great Story Starts Here | http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dreame.reader | 2024-04-10 02:07 | https://scontent-ord5-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/436346595_1078319579922082_8786998629599975381_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=100&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=qDUS-lz4jv8Ab77J4ua&_nc_ht=scontent-ord5-2.xx&oh=00_AfAqeySL9L-XtF9rnomRSh74UCkolKFJRw9qrpolZ4KYrQ&oe=661D0C65 | person_profile | 0 | 0 | 3 | Dreame Great Stories | 0 | 0 | 2024-04-10 02:00 | View Edit Delete | |||||||||||||||||||||

No | 2024-04-10 19:42 | active | 487 | 0 | 707559744911214 | Read Next Chapter Nowπ | Calvin is my boyfriend, and we have been together for many years. Although other people in the pack often bully me, if Calvin is around, I can persevere. On that day, Calvin's birthday, I found out that he had an affair with my sister, and I decided to leave the pack. Just as I was about to leave, Alpha King came to our pack, and he captured everyone.<br /> "You want her? She's a human!"<br /> The king released a roar that made every member of the pack flinch and drop their heads lower in submission. With my face only a few inches from the ground, I watched with terror as the king moved away from me and stood before my biggest bully Kate. <br /> The greater distance between us allowed me to see more of him. He was larger than the other Lycans, his body covered in knotted scars that were visible beneath his fur.<br /> His claw was the size of Kate's head as he punched it through her ch#st, ripping her heart out the other side and sending the pack into a flurry of sobs and terrified mumblings for mercy.<br /> "You will do well to teach your pack to respect those above them." The witch's voice called out again, but I was trapped staring at Kate's body as the king pulled his hand out, and it fell to the ground.<br /> I was aware of him walking back to me, but I couldnβt take my eyes away. It was the large hand that grabbed me by my backpack and lifted me off the ground like a doll that brought me back to reality, and I instinctively met the glowing red eyes of the Lycan King.<br /> His deep voice sent a chill through me as he spoke, "Mine."<br /> ---<br /> Janet's P.O.V.<br /> <br /> I felt uneasy as soon as I entered the pack house. The way my pack mates were smirking at me, laughing behind their hands... I knew they were up to something. Their pranks and bullying had been getting worse and more painful each time they managed to get me alone. My bruises still hadn't gone away from the last time.<br /> <br /> My body ached from the beating I had taken two days ago, but I was only a few hours away from it all ending.<br /> <br /> I just needed to get to Calvin before they set their plan into motion.<br /> <br /> Calvin was my boyfriend of four years. He was the only one that cared for me, and the only one I could trust.<br /> <br /> We were high school sweethearts. He was also the next in line to become the Alpha of our pack. That didn't matter to me, but it did matter to the other women in the pack. They hated that he was with me. They felt that they deserved a stronger Luna than I would be, and they all wanted to be his chosen one.<br /> <br /> I hadn't even shifted yet. To them, I was no more than an omega...a runt as they liked to call me, the weakest of the litter.<br /> <br /> It should have happened three years ago when I turned sixteen, but it didn't. Now I was nineteen, the age at which we could recognize our mates as our wolves should have matured by then. Had I shifted, I would have known Calvin was my mate already, but we had to wait the extra two months until today, his nineteenth birthday, for him to recognize me as his mate.<br /> <br /> Calvin didn't care that I hadn't turned. We had been together since before either of us were old enough to shift, and we were both positive that we were mates. He stood by me and protected me from the cruelty of the wolves around us when I failed to shift with the others.<br /> <br /> 'Calvin? Where are you?' I asked through our pack link but received no response.<br /> <br /> "Poor little human, you have a lot of guts to show up here right now. Do you have any idea how happy the pack is? Having you here will just ruin it. This party is for pack wolves only." Kate, my sister's best friend, said as the crowd parted for her, and the music stopped. All of the party guests stopped dancing and talking to watch as the biggest bully in the pack approached me.<br /> <br /> The flashing lights of varying colors continued in the uncomfortable silence.<br /> <br /> I hoped the man of the hour would see the disruption and step forward to my side, but he didn't. As I glanced around at all of the amused faces, he was nowhere to be seen.<br /> <br /> "Calvin invited me. I am in this pack, and I'm allowed to be here." I whispered, but I could feel the heat building in the back of my eyes as they all laughed again. Something was going on, and it was more than just Kate running her big mouth.<br /> <br /> "Even he doesn't want you here." She sneered before smiling at me widely. "See for yourself. Where is Calvin, hm? I think he went up to his room. You should go bring him back down to the party and see what he has to say."<br /> <br /> I held his present against my chest tighter as I narrowed my eyes. She was up to something, but I wanted to get to Calvin more than I wanted to deal with her b##lsh!t.<br /> <br /> As I took a step forward, Kate stepped to the side, and I could feel everyone watching me with amusement as I went up the stairs.<br /> <br /> Calvin's room was at the end of the hall behind double doors, and I rushed toward it. I could hear people coming up the stairs behind me, no doubt being led by Kate, but my salvation was only a few feet away.<br /> <br /> As soon as I got in his room, I could close the door and act as if none of them existed.<br /> <br /> It would just be the two of us.<br /> <br /> There was a stirring in the back of my mind as I wrapped my hand around the cold doorknob. It was a warning, telling me not to go inside. It wanted me to turn around and run, knowing this was a trap. Yet, I turned the knob anyway and pushed the door open.<br /> <br /> The loud moan of the female beneath my boyfriend made me freeze, and I stared wide-eyed at the couple tangled together. <br /> <br /> Calvin thr#st into her quickly, releasing his own groans of pleasure.<br /> <br /> My stomach tied in a knot, and it felt hard to breathe. The small spark of light in my life was extinguished, sending my mind into complete darkness as I processed what I was seeing.<br /> <br /> He lifted his head, meeting my tear-streaked face, but not seeing me as his wolf was in control. His canines extended just before he latched onto her neck, puncturing the skin and marking her as his mate.<br /> <br /> My sister.<br /> <br /> "No," I whispered as my hand covered my mouth. Calvin pulled back snarling at the disruption.<br /> <br /> "I told you he didn't want you," Kate whispered into my ear, and my sister laughed from beneath my boyfriend as she reached up and ran her hand through Calvin's short blonde hair.<br /> <br /> "Would you mind closing the door, Janet?" Kelly asked innocently, but the malicious look in her narrowed eyes showed she was pleased by her victory over me. Not only had she stolen the love of my life, but she was now to be his Luna. "I'm trying to have a private moment with my mate."<br /> <br /> Mate.<br /> <br /> The word seemed so empty now. Calvin had hated Kelly. He had watched how mean she was toward me and resented her. Now, he was baring his teeth at me, defending her.<br /> <br /> "How could you?" I choked out as a sob wracked through my ch#st, and the present in my hold dropped to the floor before me. The sudden and loud noise seemed to snap Calvin back into control, and his eyes returned to their normal brown.<br /> <br /> His jaw dropped open as he glanced from me to my sister with guilt, but he didn't look the least bit regretful. He was happy to have found and marked his mate, he only hated that he had been caught cheating. The torn look on his face only made me angrier as he gasped my name while he pulled out of my sister. She sat up as he climbed to his feet, neither of them ashamed to be seen n@#ed.<br /> <br /> "Janet, Iβ¦" He said, stepping forward and causing me to take a step away, only to be pushed back toward him by the crowd of on-lookers.<br /> <br /> I stumbled forward, trying to stay as far away from him as possible.<br /> <br /> The steady stream of tears blurred my vision, and my ch#st hurt as he whispered my name again. "Janetβ¦Sheβs, my mate." He finally announced, causing the house to cheer in celebration that their future Luna had been claimed. | LEARN_MORE | https://www.novelsbd.com/fs/IjeQV3uiqERf?utm_campa | 108769967333707 | Explore Reading | https://facebook.com/100055052029909 | 243 | 1 | 922,027,236,369,308 | 2024-04-10 02:00 | person_profile | eligible | 0 | 0 | NONE | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | Learn more | 0 | Explore Reading | 120207951939520347 | www.novelsbd.com | NONE | video | https://www.novelsbd.com/fs/IjeQV3uiqERf?utm_campaign_id={{campaign.id}}&utm_campaign={{campaign.name}}&utm_ad_id={{ad.id}}&utm_ad_name={{ad.name}}&utm_source={{site_source_name}}&utm_adset_id={{adset.id}}&utm_adset_name={{adset.name}} | 2024-04-10 01:35 | https://scontent-den2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/434757064_841539607813075_4911743370299680551_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=107&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=rTnJH1fQvOQAb4ofWZC&_nc_ht=scontent-den2-1.xx&oh=00_AfBGGYYvJmx9k8IIO_ApIlkmTZ5KFAU80u0IuTDep-JSog&oe=661D081C | person_profile | 0 | Explore Reading | https://scontent-den2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/434677942_1283587392600439_1913550695974847109_n.jpg?_nc_cat=104&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=5dpv5wJjo2gAb4SGMtT&_nc_ht=scontent-den2-1.xx&oh=00_AfDCBqf0KU6qwuYGJ48rE2aHcteX9V0kFuzh0imfXCx6OQ&oe=661D028B | 0 | 3 | Explore Reading | 0 | 0 | 2024-04-10 02:00 | View Edit Delete | |||||||||||||||||||||

No | 2024-04-10 19:42 | active | 487 | 0 | 381572748040254 | π₯π₯ Click to Read ππ»ππ» | I quietly walked further into my flat, towards my bedroom, almost tripping over his shirt that lay discarded on the floor. It was not the only article of clothing strewn across the floor. There was some womanβs clothing on the floor too. Judging by the size the woman had to be a supermodel or something. The clothing was so small. It had to be the smallest size you could get here in the UK for women.<br /> I suddenly felt so insecure, because that size of clothing would never fit me now, it did when I was in my late teens, but not now.<br /> I arrived at my bedroom, but I made sure to remain hidden out of sight. Thankfully the door was open a little bit, so I could see everything. I could hear his distinct grunts and moans, as well as the moans of another woman.<br /> I peered through the small crack in the door and saw him with another woman in my bed. His back was to me, so he didnβt notice that I had seen what he was doing. The woman looked like a supermodel to me, but I really couldnβt see her very well, except for a little bit of her blonde hair that was spread across the sheets. <br /> ββββββββ<br /> <br /> Eilithβs POV-<br /> I am heading home early from my grandparentsβ house. I decided to visit them, because I wanted to see them. I do not see them as much as I would like too, since I finished University and started making my way in the world. You see, I have lived with my grandparents since I was five years old, because my parents sadly died in a car accident, I donβt know much else than that. There was no other family, and my grandparents fought to keep me with them.<br /> My father was the heir to a very powerful business. He had been running it for ten years before he died, but after he passed, my grandparents made the difficult decision of selling the business to the highest bidder. My grandparents focused on investing after that to maintain their wealth.<br /> My family is one of the very wealthy families in the United Kingdom. As the sole heiress to the wealth, my grandparents did not want me to have friends or boyfriends who just wanted me for my money, so I told everyone my name was Eilith Smith, not Eilith Clarke, which is my actual name. I have only told Kelly Roberts, my best friend, because she was a rich girl too, and has been my closest and dearest friend since we were eight years old. I really would not know what I would do without her, she has been there for me through so much.<br /> I had told my boyfriend, Dylan Harrison, that I would be out for most of the day and will not likely be home till the evening. In a note on his bedside, next to his phone, because he was still asleep, as I had woken up very early. I wanted to get to my grandparents before the morning traffic rush. But when I got there, my grandparents were going to visit a friend of theirs for and early dinner, so I had to leave far earlier than expected.<br /> When I usually visit them, I spend all day, sometimes into the next day with them, because they raised me and it is nice to be able to help them out around their home and visit my horse, which they keep at their home, in the stables on their land. When they were ready to leave to go have dinner, that was when I left to go home. I didnβt mention to my boyfriend that I was on the way home. I was thinking I would surprise him.<br /> I returned home, thinking I would be able to have a nice relaxing bath, and then maybe plan a nice romantic dinner for myself and Dylan, if he is home from the football match early enough. It wasnβt something we often did at home. I thought it would be a nice change. I love to cook, but he prefers to eat out at lavish places. He is the type to love to flaunt his wealth. Those plans were soon dashedβ¦<br /> I entered my flat quietly, just in case Dylan was still asleep, which is how I left him this morning when I left to visit my grandparents. What I saw in front of me stopped me in my tracks. My mind went blank. In that moment, I almost forgot to breathe.<br /> I somehow managed to get the front door closed behind me quietly. When I turned around, I focused more on what was going one even though I was already beginning to understand what was going on, and honestly it didnβt feel real. It didnβt feel like it was happening to me.<br /> A cooked breakfast that had been made and eaten by two was left on my dining table. Romantic music played on the radio. I couldnβt quite hear it; I think because this whole thing felt like an out of body experience. I could not believe my eyes; Dylan had never once done anything like this for me. He would never cook for me, I think he even joked that it was a womanβs job once, but he was drunk and with friends, so I never took it to heart. Yet he would do it for a woman, who was not his girlfriend.<br /> I felt pain in my chest, that spread up my throat choking me. I knew I would not be able to say anything to him, but I had to know, was he really cheating on me?<br /> I quietly walked further into my flat, towards my bedroom, almost tripping over his shirt that lay discarded on the floor. It was not the only article of clothing strewn across the floor. There was some womanβs clothing on the floor too. Judging by the size the woman had to be a supermodel or something. The clothing was so small. It had to be the smallest size you could get here in the UK for women.<br /> I suddenly felt so insecure, because that size of clothing would never fit me now, it did when I was in my late teens, but not now.<br /> I arrived at my bedroom, but I made sure to remain hidden out of sight. Thankfully the door was open a little bit, so I could see everything. I could hear his distinct grunts and moans, as well as the moans of another woman.<br /> I peered through the small crack in the door and saw him with another woman in my bed. His back was to me, so he didnβt notice that I had seen what he was doing. The woman looked like a supermodel to me, but I really couldnβt see her very well, except for a little bit of her blonde hair that was spread across the sheets. I didnβt know her, but a hatred grew in my heart almost straight away for her.<br /> I could feel my eyes well with tears, as my hand covered my mouth. I could not stay here any longer, my voice was all but gone. I couldnβt stay there to speak with him, let alone look at him right now. Not to mention, I know he has a temper when someone confronts him, it has happened before when we were out, but it has never been aimed at me before. Something I was always scared of happening. How could he do this to me, after everything I had done for him? How could he cheat on me after all these years? Has he been cheating on me this whole time? Could I really forgive him if he made promises? I just needed to get out of here for now.<br /> So, I left, as quietly and quickly as I could. I didnβt want him to know that I had seen him, because I could not deal with the confrontation right now, and his excuses and temper.<br /> <br /> My best friend, Kelly, had a little while before she started work at the restaurant, she was a manager at. She has dreams of starting her own restaurant chain and wanted to get experience working the lower levels in the restaurant beforehand. I jumped into my car, and headed to the restaurant she works at. I texted her to tell her I was on my way to her, before I left.<br /> βWhat is wrong? You have me worried.β<br /> βI... I found... Dylan cheating on me,β I choked.<br /> βI am not surprised. I have told you many times, he is not worthy of you. Think about your entire relationship. I have known you far longer than Dylan has known you. You were always so confident and free. You wore what you want, when you wanted. Red is your favourite colour, and you have stopped wearing anything red, because he didnβt like you wearing red. You told me it made him mad if you wore red. You stopped eating pasta, one of your favourite things to eat, because he said you would get fat. He told you to stop hanging around with my brother, who treats you like a sister. I bet he gets mad if he finds out you were with me and my brother. That is controlling behaviour, a major red flag. If you stay with him, he will just keep cheating on you, and this controlling behaviour will just get worse, until you are isolated from your friends and family, and that is when he will start physically abusing you. Eilith, please, you must leave him now,β she said.<br /> I sat in the driverβs seat of my car, thinking about what she said, and as I thought, <br /> βWas he really that bad? I canβt believe I let him do that to me, to do everything that he did to me,β I whimpered.<br /> I was glad she didnβt ask what he did to me, because I wasnβt ready to talk about it. She rubbed my back, and said, βIt is okay. One day soon we will sit down and have a long hard talk about everything that he did. Maybe it will be best if you go to therapy too. But I will not leave your side. I will stand by you through this whole ordeal, I promise.β<br /> βHow am I going to make it without you? Youβre leaving to move to London in a few days,β I whispered, in between my sobs.<br /> βCome with us. Josh and I have brought a three-bed house in London. Josh wonβt mind you moving into the spare bedroom, until you get back on your feet. He will understand. He sees you as a little sister,β Kelly suggested.<br /> Josh is Kellyβs older brother. He really did see me as his little sister, just like I see him as my brother. I looked at her, a little shocked about that idea. I whispered, βBut, I have nothing packed, and he is at home.β<br /> She nodded, pausing and thinking about what I could do to deal with this situation. I too, was thinking, because I didnβt want things to turn out like this. Dylan was very scary when he was mad. In those moments, I believed that he could hit me, even though he never got angry at me. She cleared her throat, and said, βI am only doing a four-hour shift, to cover the time the other manager canβt be in due to childcare. When she gets here, I will have Josh pick me up and come straight over to help you. Once you know he is out of your flat, go there and pack everything up that you can, as quickly as you can, and leave. Get it done before he gets home. If he does get home, before Josh and I get there, send me our code word. So, I know you are in danger, and need help I will call the police.β<br /> We have had a code word, for a great many years. It was more to ensure our safety while we were out at night. We knew the other would need help if we received HOD by text. It stands for House of Dead, an arcade game that we both loved to play with Kellyβs brother. It was short simple and to the point. Plus, three letters that meant something to the both of us makes a great code word.<br /> βBut what if he tries to hurt you or Josh,β I said.<br /> βDo you know why he hates Josh,β she responded.<br /> I shook my head, and asked, βWhy?β<br /> βDo you remember that day when we were looking at dresses online, before we went shopping. According to Josh, when I said you would look drop dead gorgeous in that red dress you were looking at, Dylan looked at it, and muttered some vile things about you. Josh heard that, when they were alone, Josh laid into him. Dylan tried to get in Joshβs face, Josh didnβt flinch instead he just smirked. Dylan backed down,β she explained.<br /> Josh was different from Dylan, physically. Josh is taller and has broader shoulders and is more muscular compared to Dylan. Josh is a gym rat. He loves working out and using weights. Dylan, on the other hand, rarely goes to the gym, but is well toned and skinny. Dylan wouldnβt stand against Josh in a fight, not only due to their difference physically, but because Josh is training to be a boxer for the Olympics. I have seen him knock a man out with a single punch. So, he is a strong man. The perfect kind of older brother you want.<br /> βSo, that is why he didnβt want me to be around Josh,β I said.<br /> She nodded, βJosh made him feel emasculated. He is toxic, so you need to leave him. I will call Josh and tell him to be ready and get here to pick me up early, in the hopes that I may be able to leave earlier. I must go. Josh and I will be on our way to help you as soon as we can. Stay safe.β<br /> I nodded, βThank you, Kelly.β<br /> βBe careful and send me text updates. Please make sure that if he comes back, you send me that code word,β she said, as she began climbing out of my car.<br /> I nodded, βI promise.β<br /> I watched as she called Josh and headed inside the restaurant to start her shift. I looked down as my phone, and realised I had a text from Dylan.<br /> Dylan: βHey babe, I hope you are having fun with your grandparents. I wonβt be in when you come home. I am going to watch the football match with the boys. I will be back later tonight. Make yourself dinner. Xxβ<br /> I stared down at the text. The football match he was talking about was in two hours, so he would leave the home in thirty minutes to meet with his friends, so he can head to the match with them. I had to reply but keep it as normal as possible to my usual texts, and honestly that was the frightening thing. One mistake and this could go wrong.<br /> Me: βI am just about to leave my grandparents. I will be about an hour, maybe a little longer, as there is some road works near my grandparentsβ home. Have fun at the football match. Text me when you are on your way home. Xxβ<br /> He read the text message and replied with a simple okay. I grabbed my suitcases out of my wardrobe. I had two sizes a large one and a cabin one. I opened both, leaving them on the floor. I quickly yanked some of my clothing off the hangers and threw them in the suitcase. I emptied my drawers of clothing and just threw them in my suitcase. I chucked in my favourite pairs of shoes. I grabbed my electronics that I wanted to take. Though I could buy replacement electronics, and I probably will once I get settled in, I need to be able to keep a line of communication open with my grandparents and so I can get a new job in London. I grabbed whatever else I could.<br /> <br /> I looked at the time and saw a text from Kelly. She had managed to leave work an hour early, and Josh had picked her up. They were on their way to me. I suddenly had this feeling like someone was behind me. I typed HOD into a text before I turned around. Dylan was standing in the doorway to what was our bedroom. He had his hands clenched into fists by his legs. A rage in his eyes that I have never seen before, far worse than all the other times he was angry.<br /> <br /> βWhy are you packing all your things,β he hissed, through gritted teeth.<br /> <br /> I took a deep breath, with my finger over the button, readying to hit send. I said, βBecause I am leaving you.β<br /> <br /> βNo, you are not leaving me,β he yelled.<br /> <br /> βI saw you earlier, with another woman, in what should have been our bed. It was what I needed to see that you were a controlling freak in our whole relationship. So, yes, I am leaving you,β I responded calmly, turning and hitting send.<br /> <br /> His heavy footsteps thunder towards me, making the floor of our flat shake. His hand tangled into my hair, and yanked my head back, before snatching my phone from my hand. Thankfully, I locked it before he could read my texts. He growled, βYou are not leaving me! I bet you think this because you are cheating on me. Who is he? Show me who you were sending a text too just now.β<br /> <br /> βGet off of me,β I yelled, trying to push him away from me.<br /> <br /> βWho is he,β spitting as he shouted, pulling my hair harder.<br /> <br /> I pushed him away from me. It surprised him enough to let go of my hair and to stumble backwards away from me, I screamed, βI never cheated. You did. You have restricted me, banned me, belittled me, and treated me harshly on countless occasions. My heart is broken. How I could ever love a man like you, I do not know.β<br /> <br /> Tears welled in my eyes, so I turned around and began to zip up my suitcases. I didnβt want to see his reaction to what I said, I couldnβt deal with him if he started crying. I really might faulter if that happens. That was when I felt something hard hit the back of my head. My head began to pound and ache. I gripped where he hit me on my head with my hand and turned to look at Dylan. But before I could say anything, he raised his fist and slammed it into my face. The blow was hard enough, to knock me backwards into the bedside cabinet. I hit my head on the corner of the bedside cabinet, before hitting the floor. I could feel a wet hot liquid slide across my face. I touched it and looked at my hand. It was blood. I was bleeding from my head. I gripped my head and began to curl up into the fetal position. Before I could curl up, Dylan kicked me in the stomach and ribs, not just once, but many times. I lost count how many times he kicked me. I felt something crack in my rib cage. I tried my best to use my arms to protect my body and head, but there was only so much I could do, while in so much pain. The pain was excruciating. All I could do was cry and whimper the pain made it too hard to move. He grabbed my hair on the back of my head, tearing some hair from my head, and snarled, βIf you hadnβt threatened to leave, then none of this would have happened. Do you want to know why I sleep with other girls, because after all the times we have, you were never ready for what I needed to be full satisfied. But now you are going to find out. Remember this is all your fault.β<br /> <br /> He slammed my head into the ground. The impact made my head heavy and made it hard for me to keep myself conscious. My ears were now ringing from the impact. It was because of that, that I did not hear what he was doing. The ringing subsided, only for me to hear a massive crack, and a shocking sting across my back, which made me cry out. I managed to look up and see that he was holding a whip. He hit me with a whip. I was now seeing a completely different side to him, a side that would have made me run for the hills years ago. How did I not see this side to him?<br /> <br /> βThis is what I like,β he growled, lust evident in his voice.<br /> <br /> I tried my best to move, to get away. But I was in so much pain. The sound of the crack of the whip came again, just before the impact on my back. I screamed out. This time it was even more painful. The taste of blood filled my mouth, as I felt a trickle of blood pooling on my back. Tears were streaming down my face. I was trying to prepare myself for another blow. But that was when I heard the sirens. In that moment, I had never felt so happy to hear sirens before. Dylan dropped the whip, and muttered.<br /> <br /> That was when he bolted out of the door. I breathed a sigh of relief, even though my chest hurt so much. Pain was all over my body. My head and back were the most painful. With my head hurt, it was getting harder for me to stay awake my consciousness was wavering. My eyes closing slowly, the pain becoming unbearable. | LEARN_MORE | https://a.read4funs.com/ad/ZmFuY3lOb3ZlbC8xNDYwNDc | 136560499545717 | ForFun-105 | https://facebook.com/61552095643555 | 32 | 1 | 1,083,245,659,413,736 | 2024-04-10 02:00 | person_profile | eligible | 0 | 0 | NONE | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | Learn more | 0 | ForFun-105 | 120207259536840019 | a.read4funs.com | NONE | video | https://a.read4funs.com/ad/ZmFuY3lOb3ZlbC8xNDYwNDcvMjAyNDA0MDkxMzUwMzYvcGFnZQ==?adid={{ad.id}} | 2024-04-09 01:01 | https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/434856267_1092912618608210_2118634506790960804_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=111&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=71K-wj2c8XEAb6yGGkX&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.xx&oh=00_AfCx6rqMImz_nbbDWEVv8iH9CJHB137mtxiKamu4RwDXhQ&oe=661D0139 | person_profile | 0 | ForFun-105 | https://scontent-lga3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/434917973_338776449179653_2147508382975034596_n.jpg?_nc_cat=104&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=8Vp3VuEVapkAb63I4at&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-2.xx&oh=00_AfDoFP89DtfmMTtleOAYOkFmsaazkijly5pAhHz-z7oxyw&oe=661CFA05 | 0 | 3 | ForFun-105 | 0 | 0 | 2024-04-10 02:00 | View Edit Delete | |||||||||||||||||||||

Yes | 2024-04-10 19:43 | active | 487 | 0 | 948184826574608 | π₯π₯ Click to Read ππ»ππ» | "In three days, you will attend the rejection ceremony, and then in a week, you will have a mating ceremony with someone more on your level, his brother, Garrett Hunter."<br /> "You're joking," Lily said. "You have to be joking." <br /> Garrett? Garrett Hunter?? The disfigured, rejected brother of Matthew? This had to be some sort of joke. They couldn't possibly be serious. But her parents were not laughing.<br /> "This is no joke. You will be marrying Garrett Hunter."<br /> "I am his fated mate. We're meant to be together. Why would he want to reject me? There must be a mistake!"<br /> "Lily, you're an omega. No respectable Alpha would want you as their Luna. We're saving you the agony of having to deal with your mate having a mistress," her mother explained.<br /> ______________<br /> Lily Bray stood in front of the mirror admiring herself. Her skin glowed from her previous run with the pups of the pack. Even though she was the daughter of the Alpha, she enjoyed helping out with the pups.<br /> 'You should wear the red dress,' Dina, her wolf, suggested.<br /> 'You're just being petty,' Lily replied as she looked at the dresses on her bed. The festive red would be the best choice since all her other dresses were too bright for the winter. She picked it up and looked at herself in the mirror.<br /> 'No, I'm not. Matthew said we look nice in red. We should wear it! It's also one of the colors in his pack,' Dina added.<br /> Lily smiled at the thought of wearing the colors of the Grey Blood Pack. She, of course, was going to be their Luna after the mating ceremony. The very thought of it made her blush. Who would've thought that she would be mated to a future Alpha?<br /> 'We deserve it, no matter our rank! Matthew doesn't care that we are an Omega, so we shouldn't care anymore either,' Dina said confidently, 'Put on the red dress.'<br /> Lily didn't need to be convinced as she quickly began to get dressed. She could hear the clicking of heels and immediately knew who it was before she heard the voice.<br /> "Lily, what's taking you so long?" Her sister, Brandy, yelled from outside her bedroom door.<br /> "Coming!" Lily quickly put on lip gloss and smoothed out the wrinkles in her festive red dress before rushing to the door. She opened it to see Brandy standing there looking uninterested as always.<br /> "Took you long enough," Brandy said. She looked her up and down and her eye twitched slightly before saying, "Cute dress." Anyone that didn't know Brandy would have thought she was complimenting Lily, but Lily knew better. Brandy disapproved of everything she wore and did.<br /> "You're just upset that you couldn't find the dress in your size," Lily retorted. She knew that Brandy was looking at the dress. It wasn't her finest moment to be so petty, but she found some satisfaction from it as Brandy always got what she wanted.<br /> Brandy replied with a scowl, "That dress is old news. I found one that was much better and more fitting for me." She walked past Lily, making sure to bump her with her shoulder. Lily resisted the urge to snarl. She would not let her ruin the evening.<br /> Brandy wore a low-cut black form-fitting dress with black heels. Her hair was pulled up high in a ponytail. She had blush on her cheek, and she wore bright red lipstick.<br /> 'She looks like a street walker and ugly at that,' Dina commented.<br /> 'That's not nice,' Lily responded.<br /> 'It's the truth. You should hear what Mable says about you. Brandy can't even dress decently at home. Who is she flaunting for?' Dina countered.<br /> Dina never liked Brandy as she tormented Lily growing up. Everything had to be her way and if Lily resisted, Brandy made sure to hurt her in some way. As soon as Lily could shift, Dina made it her business to take a swipe at Brandy.<br /> Lily and Brandy entered the dining hall where her parents were. They were sipping spirits and talking but stopped as soon as they entered.<br /> "Oh, you look so lovely!" her mother said to Brandy.<br /> Lily had to refrain from rolling her eyes as Brandy practically glowed from her mother's compliment. Brandy gave Lily a smug look before sitting next to their mother.<br /> Her mother gave Lily a momentary glance before saying, "Oh, Lily. You know, red isn't a good color for you, but at least you've been eating well at school. How are your studies going?"<br /> "I passed all my exams. Straight As again," Lily said happily.<br /> Lily sat down in front of Brandy, her mother, and her father. She thought it was odd that they were sitting across from her but pushed the thought out of her mind.<br /> Her mother casually remarked, "That's lovely, honey," before changing the subject as if concluding a formality. "Do you have that dress I mentioned, Brandy? The one in white?"<br /> "Yes, I did. I got it at a discount too. We had a credit once we returned the other dress," Brandy explained.<br /> Lily lost her enthusiasm when she understood that, yet again, no one was interested in what she had accomplished. She poured herself a glass of spirits and downed it. Lily looked at her father, who seemed too busy to greet her while he was looking at his phone.<br /> 'Do not worry about them. We have mates now. They will be our family,' Dina said to cheer Lily up. Lily only had to look forward to returning to her dorm and the upcoming mating ceremony. She would be where she was wanted, with Matthew.<br /> Her mother and Brandy had been conversing when her father cleared his throat, drawing their attention to him. Her father said, "I am happy that you are doing well in your studies, Lily, but there won't be a need to go back in the Spring."<br /> "What do you mean?" Lily asked.<br /> "Now that you are mated, it is not a productive use of your time. You must get ready to be a devoted mate," Her father responded.<br /> "Well, I can do both. I have already worked it out. I will be able to attend Luna lessons during the day and school at night," Lily explained. She spent a lot of time and effort with the academic advisor to make that arrangement.<br /> "That money could be used for something else, like your sister's mating ceremony," her father proposed.<br /> "Brandy! You have a mate?! That's exciting! Why didn't you tell me? We can go dress shopping together!" Lily exclaimed happily.<br /> Brandy scoffed and said, "You won't need a dress. Daddy, just tell her already. This is just sad."<br /> "Tell me what?" Lily said, looking confused as she turned to look back at her father. "Tell me what, Dad?"<br /> "I had a discussion with Alpha Jack of the Grey Blood Pack. His son, Matthew, will become the new Alpha in a few months. His father and I have agreed that Matthew needs to have a strong mate by his side to lead the pack successfully," Lily's father explained, "And that is not you." <br /> Lily felt as if her whole world had been turned upside down. She didn't know if she wanted to scream or cry. How could they make this decision for her?<br /> "In three days, you will attend the rejection ceremony, and then in a week, you will have a mating ceremony with someone more on your level, his brother, Garrett Hunter."<br /> Lily stared in horror at her father. She couldn't make sense of what he was saying. Why would Matthew reject her? When they talked on the phone all day, he never mentioned it.<br /> "You're joking," Lily said. "You have to be joking." <br /> Her father scowled at her because he disliked repeating himself. He paused for a moment to collect himself before saying, "This is no joke. You will be marrying Garrett Hunter."<br /> When Lily heard her father say those words, her heart sank. "I am his fated mate. We're meant to be together. Why would he want to reject me? There must be a mistake!"<br /> "Lily, you're an omega. No respectable Alpha would want you as their Luna. We're saving you the agony of having to deal with your mate having a mistress," her mother explained, "and it's not like you won't have a mate."<br /> "It's what you deserve, Lily. Garrett is perfect for you," Brandy said smugly. <br /> Garrett? Garrett Hunter?? The disfigured, rejected brother of Matthew? This had to be some sort of joke. They couldn't possibly be serious. But her parents were not laughing.<br /> Lily slid her seat back and stood up. She ran back to her room, slamming the door behind her. Brandy stood up to bring her back downstairs, but her mother stopped her.<br /> "Leave her alone. There is nowhere she can go. This is something she must accept," her mother stated.<br /> "Pick up the phone, Matthew. Come on!" Lily murmured as she dialed his number for the tenth time. It just rang again and again until it went to voicemail. Lily didn't bother leaving another voicemail because she had already left five.<br /> Lily sighed in frustration and tossed her phone to the floor before pacing the room. Why would her parents subject her to such cruelty? Wasn't it enough that they treated her like trash because she was an omega? But now they were going to take this away from her as well?!<br /> Lily nearly crashed into the wall to get to her phone when it buzzed on the bed. Her heart sank again when she realized it was Tiffany, not Matthew, calling. Lily answered the phone.<br /> "Hey girlie! It has been hours. What was the dinner about? Are you..." Tiffany started.<br /> Lily interjected and said, "Can I come over? I can't stay here. Please say yes."<br /> Hearing her tone, Tiffany became serious and asked, "What's wrong? Your sister is bothering you again?"<br /> "No. It's much worse. Please tell me I can come over," Lily pleaded.<br /> "Yes, you can come. I am not leaving for my parents' until tomorrow. Where are you? I can come to get you," Tiffany offered.<br /> "No. I will come to you," Lily said, "Thank you." She quickly hung up the phone. Lily went to her closet and grabbed an overnight bag. She yanked her dress off and changed into a t-shirt and workout pants.<br /> Lily then began packing items she didn't want to lose and enough clothes to get her through the holidays. She had no intention of coming back here.<br /> The door to her bedroom swung open, causing Lily to jump. She turned to see Mira, one of the omegas working in the kitchen. Mira placed her finger on her lips before she slowly closed the door behind her.<br /> "They told you," Mira said. It was more of a statement than a question. It made Lily sick to her stomach. Everyone had been smiling in her face. Did everyone but her know? It was humiliating that this was kept from her. "I was commanded not to tell you. I really wanted to."<br /> "It's fine, Mira. I know you wouldn't betray me," Lily responded. It would be physically impossible for Mira to go against a command. Perhaps if she were a Gamma or even a Beta, but as an Omega, the pain of it would have killed her wolf, which would've killed her.<br /> "I won't let them force me," Lily declared. "I can't let them take one of the only things that have made me happy."<br /> Mira and Lily grew very close growing up. As they were both omegas and Lily was excluded from high-ranking wolf activities, she spent most of her time with Mira. Mira's father, the pack doctor, was the reason she wanted to become a doctor in the first place.<br /> "Then, let me help you," Mira said, "I can get you out of here. They planned to leave you alone for the rest of the weekend."<br /> "You can't. If they find out..."<br /> "They'll assume I helped you even if I didn't. I'll be beaten no matter what, but I won't die," Mira countered, interrupting her. "Dad is already outside with a car to take you wherever you want to go."<br /> Lily hugged Mira tightly. Mira smiled slightly, wanting to go with her, but she was bound to the pack grounds. Leaving or even going rogue would harm her father's position in the pack. She couldn't risk it.<br /> "Thank you, Mira," Lily said.<br /> Tiffany opened her front door to see Lily standing like a beat dog in her doorway. Lily waved to the car that drove away. Tiffany pulled her into her home and quickly closed the door. Lily immediately began sobbing uncontrollably.<br /> "Lily, what's going on? What happened?" Tiffany asked, leading her to the sofa. She had already prepared Lily's favorite meal as well as hot cocoa.<br /> "They are trying to force me into a rejection ceremony," Lily managed to say.<br /> "What? Why? They can't do that. It'd be spitting in the Goddess' face. You could end up cursed or worse," Tiffany exclaimed.<br /> "They don't care. They don't think I'd be a fit for him because I'm an omega," Lily stated.<br /> "That's not up to them. That's up to the Goddess, and the Goddess wants you and Matthew to be together," Tiffany stated.<br /> "They don't see it that way. They..." Lily stopped in mid sentence as a horrible pain gripped her chest. She gasped as she clutched her chest and tried to slow her breathing.<br /> "Lily? Is it one of your panic attacks?" Tiffany asked.<br /> Lily could only nod, unable to speak as she concentrated on breathing as the pain radiated through her. She suffered from panic attacks for a long time. Lily assumed it was because of stress. It would eventually fade, thanks to Dina's assistance.<br /> Lily gasped in relief as the pain began to fade, and she said, "I'm okay now."<br /> "You need to speak with Matthew. You two can elope, and they won't be able to do anything about it,"<br /> "Elope?"<br /> "Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?" Tiffany asked as she walked Lily out of her apartment. She didn't want to leave her in such a terrible situation.<br /> "No, I need to do this alone," Lily answered with a weak smile. She couldn't get in contact with Matthew all night. Lily needed to speak with him. Whatever happened between her and Matthew, she would have to deal with it alone. Lily didn't want to get her too caught up in her family drama.<br /> "Well, you know where my spare key is," Tiffany said.<br /> "Don't worry about me. I'll be okay. Matthew and I will elope, and everything will be fine," Lily said.<br /> Tiffany smiled slightly, but Lily noticed that her eyes looked somewhat sad. She had known Tiffany long enough to know that she was holding back. Before Lily could ask Tiffany what she was thinking, Lily's cab arrived.<br /> Tiffany hugged her again and said, "Keep me updated. You know my parents will accept you with open arms. They said the offer is still open if you want to join my pack."<br /> Lily nodded and got into the cab. She waved goodbye before telling the cab driver, "10 Armstead Place." The cab driver nodded and drove off.<br /> The drive didn't take long. All the while, she could feel a stabbing pain in her chance. It was another anxiety attack. She had never felt so bad before.<br /> "Ma'am, are you okay?" the cab driver asked, noticing her distress.<br /> "Yes, I am fine. Thank you," Lily answered. "Just having a little panic attack, I think."<br /> 'It's the stress,' Dina said to her. 'I am doing everything I can to dull it. I can't reach Baldur. I don't know why he isn't responding to me. Do you think our father or maybe his father did something?'<br /> Baldur was Matthew's wolf. He was as happy as Dina when they learned that they were mates. As much as Lily and Matthew talked on the phone, Dina and Baldur communicated more telepathically.<br /> 'It could be. I can't believe it. I don't want to believe that Matthew would agree to this. Maybe he is cutting off all communication because he doesn't want anyone to find him. No one knows about his apartment in the city,' Lily responded.<br /> The city was a neutral zone for all supernatural creatures. Pack hierarchy or mutual dislike of different races wasn't tolerated here. The elders made it a point that all supernatural children grew up aware of others to squash any ignorance. It was a good idea in theory, but many outside factors were at play. People couldn't help but judge one another.<br /> "We're here," the cab driver said, bringing Lily out of her thoughts. She pulled out $40 from her wallet and said, "Keep the change." She got out of the car and rushed up the steps to Matthew's apartment.<br /> Lily had been there more than once over the weekend. Her family never knew when she was home, and she wanted to keep it that way. When it would get bad at home, Matthew was a reprieve for her as Lily didn't want to have to deal with her family any more than she had to.<br /> Lily quickly grabbed the spare key under the mat and opened the door. She stepped into his apartment, and the pain seemed to intensify. Lily gripped her chest and almost fell face-first into the carpet. She used the wall to move further into his apartment.<br /> There was a smell that she couldn't quite place. It made her hackles rise. She felt angry for no reason.<br /> 'Find him now,' Dina growled within her.<br /> 'What's wrong?' Lily asked, but Dina only responded with a growl.<br /> "Oh, Matthew, deeper! Oh, yes! Pull my hair!"<br /> An all-too-familiar voice broke the silence, and Lily could now hear the slapping of skin. As she approached his bedroom, it became increasingly louder. Lily swallowed hard as she tried to process what she was hearing and what she didn't want to believe was happening. Lily's hand shivered as she was about to place her hand on the door.<br /> 'We must see this,' Dina growled. 'Open the door.'<br /> Lily slowly pushed open the door. There in front of her was Brandy, her sister, on all knees, back arched, while her fated mate was thrusting in her with abandon. Brandy lifted her head and smirked at Lily. It finally clicked now.<br /> Matthew didn't answer his phone because he was with her.<br /> The anxiety attacks, the waves of pain were Matthew making love to her.<br /> Lily was almost catatonic as she watched the betrayal before her eyes. This was supposed to be her. She had waited years for him, and here he was having intercourse with this bimbo in front of her.<br /> "Oh, I'm coming," Matthew groaned as he released into Brandy. Brandy's eyes rolled in satisfaction as she bounced back against Matthew, milking him of every drop.<br /> Lily gripped the side of the door frame, her claws going straight through as she tried to compose herself. The sudden movement caused Matthew to look up. His eyes widened in surprise when he saw her.<br /> "Oh hello, sister. Did you enjoy the show?" Brandy mocked as Lily walked into the room. Lily said nothing as she approached Brandy. With all her might, Lily slapped Brandy hard enough to send her into the headboard.<br /> "You bimbo!" Brandy yelled as she gripped her head in pain. Lily slapped her again before Matthew caught her wrist. She used her other hand to slap Matthew across the face with strength she didn't know she had. Her claws left gashes on the side of his face.<br /> "Lily, what the heck?" Matthew exclaimed.<br /> "Don't ever speak to us, you filthy dog," Lily growled out. Her eyes were silver as it was Dina now talking. "All this time, you betrayed us for this bimbo!"<br /> "You have to understand, Lily. I didn't have a choice. I..."<br /> "Enough of your lies! I will go through with the rejection ceremony. We can do it tonight because I want to be rid of you. I'll take whatever curse the Goddess dishes out!" Lily screamed before storming out, leaving the door wide open.<br /> "Don't you think that is inappropriate?" Kenneth asked his Luna from the doorway of their bedroom. <br /> "Not at all. It is a joyous occasion," Mandy said as she applied burgundy lipstick and stood up. She brushed the wrinkles out of her blue sweater dress as she looked herself over in the mirror before approaching him with a slight smile. "You should change. That suit is so depressing."<br /> "The suit is proper attire for the custom. You shouldn't take this much glee in her suffering," Kenneth responded, causing Mandy to frown. <br /> Mandy scoffed and said, "Don't try to act like you care about the little brat now. Don't be a hypocrite. You could care less and this arrangement will benefit the both of us."<br /> "At least make it believable in front of the Hunters," Kenneth reasoned. Mandy rolled her eyes. Of course she would behave. What kind of idiot did he take her for?<br /> "Come. You wouldn't want to keep Lily waiting," Mandy said condescendingly. <br /> Again, Kenneth didn't respond and followed Mandy to the entertainment hall. Both packs were in attendance. Both acknowledged their presence, showing their necks to them both. <br /> Alpha Jack and Luna Kelly looked agitated by the entire situation. The Luna of Grey Blood Pack was very against the rejection ceremony. However, she didn't have much say in the situation since both Alphas agreed to it. <br /> "Where is she?" Kenneth asked one of the omegas that were serving spirits. <br /> "She is coming, my Alpha. We are watching her closely. There is no chance she will run away again," the omega answered. <br /> Kenneth nodded and walked to the stage with Jack following behind him. He took a spoon to his spirits glass to get everyone's attention. <br /> "Thank you for joining us here tonight to celebrate the union of two great packs," Kenneth began and turned to Jack, "It is an honor that our packs will be united." <br /> "Yes, we look forward to our unified strength," Jack nodded. <br /> "Lily, Brandy, and Matthew Hunter, please come up here," Kenneth said. <br /> Brandy quickly came to greet her father. Kenneth frowned at her attire as he reluctantly hugged her. She was always scantily clad, even after telling her to dress appropriately for the occasion. <br /> 'Like mother, like daughter,' Kenneth's wolf, Jasper, said before growling in irritation at seeing Matthew. Kenneth had recently learned that Matthew had been sleeping with Brandy behind Lily's back. As a father and a believer of old customs, he wanted to choke him, but it was better this way. At least one of his daughters would be a proper Luna.<br /> 'We should tear his throat out for humiliating Lily,' Jasper growled.<br /> 'Calm down,' Kenneth told him.<br /> 'You're a pathetic father,' Jasper responded before blocking himself from Kenneth like he always did. <br /> After a few minutes, Lily did not show. Kenneth frowned and he spoke over the microphone, "Where is Lily? Bring her here!" He didn't need her defying him in front of both packs. This union had to happen. <br /> "I am here, father!"<br /> Matthew stood on the stage awkwardly. He didn't expect that both packs would be here for this. Matthew assumed that this would be a private affair, but he knew his mother had to have had a hand in this. <br /> Kelly had been horrified and disappointed in Matthew when she discovered that Matthew had been sleeping with Lily's little sister. No one in their line had ever denied the Moon Goddess' will up until now. The only thing that calmed her was that Lily would still marry into the pack. <br /> Matthew didn't really want to be mated with Brandy. He just wanted to have fun before he was forever bound to Lily. However, he understood why his father wanted him to mate Mandy instead. An Alpha had to be seen as strong. A weak Luna was a liability. He could not rule a pack with an omega Luna.<br /> 'It is not the right choice!' Baldur growled within him. 'Why did the Moon Goddess curse me to be bonded to you until death? She is meant for us! You know it!'<br /> 'There is nothing we can do now. It is done,' Matthew responded.<br /> 'You fool. You're going to regret this.' Baldur warned before Matthew suppressed him again like he always did when he didn't want to hear what he had to say. <br /> After Kenneth and his father Jack's speech, there was a pause as they waited for Lily to appear. She had not shown up, which infuriated Kenneth. As he demanded to know where Lily was, her voice rang out. <br /> "I am here, father!"<br /> Lily emerged from the crowd, taking Matthew's breath away. There were murmurs from the crowd as they watched Lily. She wore a simple form-fitting strapless white dress with an overlay of lace. Her hair was pulled up in a bun, and a white veil covered her face. Lily wore her wedding dress to the rejection ceremony. <br /> When she got to the stage, she hugged her father, ignored Mandy, and curtsied to Alpha Jack and Luna Kelly before taking her position in front of Matthew. Lily kept a calm expression, but Matthew could see the fury in Lily's eyes. <br /> "Lily, I..." Matthew started, but she raised her hand, stopping him. <br /> Lily gave her hand to Jack and nodded to him. Jack smirked. This little female had sass. It was a shame that she was not an Alpha. Jack took the ceremonial blade and cut her palm. Matthew gave his hand to Kenneth, and he cut Matthew's hand. <br /> "I... I..." Matthew stammered. He found that he could not bring himself to say the words. Everything in him told him it was wrong. "Father, I can't. I..."<br /> "I, Lily Bray, the first-born daughter of Alpha Kenneth Bray, and my wolf, Dina, reject you, Matthew Hunter, the first-born son of Kenneth Hunter, and your wolf Baldur for your betrayal of our mate bond with my sister, Brandy," Lily said firmly as she grabbed Matthew's hand.
