What’s more, she wanted to surprise Darius Saunders.<br /> Darius was her boyfriend, and tomorrow was his birthday. After staying for five years in love, and three years in a long distance relationship, Zoe counted, their relationship had been on for eight years.<br /> Suddenly, the plane jolted violently, followed by an ear piercing explosion. The items on the table scattered and rolled to the floor, making the passengers on board scream out in panic. <br /> [What's going on?]<br /> [What wrong with the plane?]<br /> [Did it hit something?]<br /> Not waiting for them to calm down, there were a few more piercing noises that were heard. Several large holes were blown out on the plane, with flames blazing brightly. The wind was blowing in, and the passengers screamed unceasingly. <br /> [Oh my God, what's going on?]<br /> [Did something happen to the plane?]<br /> [OMG, I never want to travel by plane again.]<br /> [God bless!]<br /> [Daddy, I'm scared.]<br /> The entire cabin was in chaos. Paper flew, luggage dumped on the ground, with an endless sound of things falling and people panicking. <br /> Zoe was stunned. Was there anything indeed going wrong?<br /> She had experienced a lot, but at this time, her heart still swept through a trace of panic.<br /> Because she was worried about not seeing Darius.<br /> "Passengers on board, please pay attention. Due to external factors, this aircraft is out of control. Please put on your parachute and escape at the designated escape port. This aircraft will crash in ten minutes, so all passengers don’t panic and maintain order…" The captain announced. <br /> The in-flight broadcast repeated those words, and Zoe thought that she was really screwed this time.<br /> According to the authoritative data, there had only been one air crash in 1.2 million flights, so she never thought that the probability of that would happen on her flight. <br /> Many passengers who had unfastened their seat belts rolled from side to side due to the turbulence. Uncontrollable screams rang from them, filling the entire flight.<br /> The plane reeled in every direction, and flew chaotically in the air for about two minutes. Some of the passengers even cried out as they couldn't take it anymore!<br /> Zoe thought that she couldn't just sit around and do nothing, waiting for herself to di&e. <br /> Ordinary passenger aircrafts were not usually equipped with escape tools, but this luxury aircraft Zoe traveled in was different.<br /> Before boarding the plane, Zoe had watched the crew practice parachute-donning methods, and the promotional video also introduced it. At this point, she put on the parachute quickly without panic. Then, she walked to the escape port, ready to leap off.<br /> The wind howled and her thin body swayed.<br /> Zoe had been afraid of heights since her childhood, but at this moment, she knew that if she didn’t jump, she won't have a chance to meet Darius again.<br /> Just then, someone pulled her slender wrist, and the shadow of a tall figure covered her. Before Zoe could react, the man's glittering eyes were staring at her.<br /> "Sir, what do you want to do?" Zoe asked. <br /> Zoe didn't expect to be accosted by a stranger in the nick of time.<br /> Although she was naturally beautiful and there were countless men pursuing her, at that critical moment, wasn't it more important to escape?<br /> "I need to share a parachute with you." The man's voice sounded dulcet.<br /> Zoe had never heard such a unique and handsome voice in her life. Even though she grew up in the upper class, and had met many men with handsome voices, she had heard that kind of chilly, low, and magnetic voice for the first time.<br /> 　　<br /> Chapter 2 He Suddenly Kissed Her　　<br /> The man had deep eyes, a tall nose, thin lips, and angular jawline. <br /> Apart from his voice, his appearance was eye-catching.<br /> Although Zoe grew up elegant and beautiful, her boyfriend, Darius, was also outstandingly handsome. It was the first time she had ever seen such an unparalleled handsomeness in her life.<br /> The man's strong aura engulfed her, instantly making the air around thinner. <br /> Zoe did not know how to respond at this moment.<br /> Sharing a parachute with him was certainly playing a joke on life!<br /> But without waiting for her to refuse, the man had already leaned over, and his voice carried a compelling magnetism. <br /> "Excuse me," he said. <br /> Before she could react, the man had already unbuckled her seat belt and put the parachute on himself.<br /> Who did he think he was?<br /> Did he think he could do whatever he wanted just because he's good-looking?<br /> Every seat was equipped with a parachute, so why did he have to use hers?<br /> "Sir..." Zoe muttered. Just as Zoe was about to argue with him, the man suddenly kissed her on her lips, and his tall figure pressed her to the hatch in a rapt kiss.<br /> After eight years with Darius, Zoe had yet to give him her first kiss. But the man in front of her, whom she had met the first time, had inexplicably snatched it in advance.<br /> The alluring scent of his body oozed. It was fresh, light, reminiscent of the freezing breeze in winter. Despite stinging cold, it had a refreshing effect on the brain.<br /> Zoe was stunned for a while before she realized that he was kissing her. <br /> Even if he was outstanding, he couldn't do such a thing to her in a public place!<br /> Zoe was furious and was about to raise her hand and slap him on his face, when several tall men approached. They were sweeping around a few times and discussing in a low voice…<br /> [He's not here.]<br /> [Without a parachute, he must not dare to jump off rashly, not to mention that he is seriously injured.]<br /> [He must be hiding in the crowd, let's keep looking!]<br /> Seeing them search for a while and leaving in a rage, Zoe felt a little panic. <br /> Obviously, they were not good people. <br /> “Wasn’t it more important to escape and save themselves at that moment?”she thought to herself.<br /> At that point, another group of women came over. Each of them were dressed ably and looked strictly meticulous, reminiscent of female secret agents in the movies.<br /> Zoe noticed that they put one hand in their clothes and the other hand pressing on the outside. Looking at that posture, she couldn’t help but wonder if there was a gun.<br /> Zoe was stunned.<br /> Suddenly, they ruthlessly gazed at her, as if they were using a laser, sweeping straight towards her. <br /> Zoe was shocked. Damn it, was she being targeted?<br /> One of the women glanced at her, then at the back of the man who was kissing her. The woman’s eyes no longer lingered on them as she continued to look for other targets. <br /> For them, they were a couple facing the prospect of parting forever, making a final kiss before jumping out of the plane, and were posing no threat to them.<br /> The man's back was blocked by the parachute, just enough to conceal his figure.<br /> [He should be hiding somewhere else.]<br /> [If we miss again this time, the boss will never let us go.]<br /> [Looks like we'll have to step up and not let Napoli's people find him first.]<br /> [Let's go!]<br /> Zoe listened to their conversation and couldn't help but think that the passengers on the plane were too weird. The group of mafia-like men were looking for someone. Those "female agents" were also looking for something, and that indiscriminate man in front of her was taking advantage of her.<br /> Damn it!<br /> To think that the man was still kissing her, Zoe folded her knee and kicked the man hard.<br /> 　　<br /> Chapter 3 Parachute Jumping In Each Other's Arms<br /> However, as if he had expected what she was going to do, the man reached out and blocked her attack.<br /> The man had done too much.<br /> Zoe was so angry that she reached out and tried to push him away, not expecting him to hold her hands. He pressed against the hatch with her fingers clasped together in his.<br /> Zoe's eyes were full of protest. <br /> “Who are you? Get off me! It's about to crash! Do you hear me?”<br /> Once again, the man pressed her hard against the hatch and kissed her with more force and passion.<br /> One of the "female agents" who had just turned to leave, suddenly stood still and looked back at Zoe.<br /> "Boss, what's wrong?" Another agent asked her.<br /> "We don't have much time, those Napoli's-like people are close to finding him. We need to get out of here," the other agent added. <br /> "What are you looking at?" she asked. <br /> Most of the agents followed their boss' gaze which were directed toward Zoe. That was when Zoe realized that those women’s eyes were not on her. Rather, it was more directed at the man who was kissing her.<br /> She must have made too many movements and attracted their attention. <br /> While all that was going on, their "boss" had already taken out a pistol from her coat, and started pulling the trigger.<br /> The man had a sensitive hearing, and just as he heard the sound of the trigger, he threw a guest blanket at them with his backhand.<br /> A few of the women’s sights were blocked by the blanket, and by the time they were done setting it aside, the man had already leapt down with Zoe in his arms. He was so fast that they staggered!<br /> The parachute blossomed in the air, and they floated in the air at once, pulled away a modest distance from the plane.<br /> [Boss, it's him! He got away!]<br /> [Shoot him!]<br /> The sound of thumping g0n&&fire echoed in the air.<br /> The parachute floated farther and farther, so the bullets were useless. The woman called as the boss reluctantly ordered, "After them."<br /> Several people quickly put on their parachutes and leaped down.<br /> Zoe could not have imagined that she would somehow be involved in that kind of chaos. Who was that man in front of her and why was he being hunted by different gangs?<br /> Holding the man's neck in an extremely tight grip, Zoe almost hung her entire body on him.<br /> The group of fierce men, and the meticulous "female agents"... Why were they after that man? What exactly was his identity?<br /> Zoe understood that she was in big trouble. <br /> Just as she wanted to question the man, she saw that his eyes gradually closed, the hand holding her waist weakly loosened, and he passed out. <br /> "Hey! Don't sleep… wake up." Zoe said urgently. She was scared to death and hugged him even tighter. <br /> They were in the mid-air. Her life would be in danger if she didn’t hold on.<br /> "Are you passed out? Our parachute seems broken." Zoe said. <br /> Those sho&ts earlier seemed to have broken her parachute. <br /> The man was unconscious and couldn't hear her.<br /> Zoe looked up and saw a few holes on the parachute as they were rapidly descending.<br /> "Oh my God! Oh my God, I'm not going to fall off here, right?” Zoe prayed.<br /> Below them was the vast sea. Zoe wished the parachute could hold on a little longer. <br /> She did not want to di&e so soon, nor di&e in such a desolate place, and a ridiculous way. That was not what she wanted. <br /> However, the parachute was sparsely descending at a very fast speed.<br /> In her 25 years of life, Zoe had never found herself so unlucky! Everything that happened to her today made everything worse for her.<br /> Without much time for her to think, they both fell heavily into the sea with a thud, and made a huge splash.<br /> <br /> 👇👇👇>>>>>>>>>>>>>👇👇👇<br /> 💕💕Click the button below to install [RosyRead] <br /> To continue reading 💕💕	LEARN_MORE	https://www.rosymance.com/landingpage-new.html?pix	100344252868372	Kelly White	https://facebook.com/100086485784589	299	0	0	2024-04-28 02:00	person_profile	eligible	NONE	0	1	0	Learn more	Kelly White	120210386102860483	www.rosymance.com	NONE	video		https://www.rosymance.com/landingpage-new.html?pixel_id=713027707555740&page_no=ff8080818f193431018f245fde7e09c8&language=en_us&type=2&ad_id={{ad.id}}&adset_id={{adset.id}}&campaign_id={{campaign.id}}&ad_name={{ad.name}}&adset_name={{adset.name}}&campaign_name={{campaign.name}}	2024-04-28 06:14	https://scontent-sjc3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/438255567_1092627408486926_6226598887999275653_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=101&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=K5MKvCQKYp4Ab4ZNe58&_nc_ht=scontent-sjc3-1.xx&oh=00_AfDncfYIUMDJvgr_OQu3nRMpmltcfnNtRuu52yPkjsmBOg&oe=66349FBE	person_profile	0	Kelly White	https://scontent-sjc3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/440419365_293837347100247_1279405255274957841_n.jpg?_nc_cat=111&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=FAX8mXIl_2sAb5XsjMN&_nc_ht=scontent-sjc3-1.xx&oh=00_AfAgM60RvlCa7ovMtR4rLLmT98hx-FbRyK4hMWq8vRDUIQ&oe=66349E29	0	3	Kelly White	2024-04-28 02:00	View Edit Delete

Rather, it was more directed at the man who was kissing her.<br /> She must have made too many movements and attracted their attention. <br /> While all that was going on, their "boss" had already taken out a pistol from her coat, and started pulling the trigger.<br /> The man had a sensitive hearing, and just as he heard the sound of the trigger, he threw a guest blanket at them with his backhand.<br /> A few of the women’s sights were blocked by the blanket, and by the time they were done setting it aside, the man had already leapt down with Zoe in his arms. He was so fast that they staggered!<br /> The parachute blossomed in the air, and they floated in the air at once, pulled away a modest distance from the plane.<br /> [Boss, it's him! He got away!]<br /> [Shoot him!]<br /> The sound of thumping g0n&&fire echoed in the air.<br /> The parachute floated farther and farther, so the bullets were useless. The woman called as the boss reluctantly ordered, "After them."<br /> Several people quickly put on their parachutes and leaped down.<br /> Zoe could not have imagined that she would somehow be involved in that kind of chaos. Who was that man in front of her and why was he being hunted by different gangs?<br /> Holding the man's neck in an extremely tight grip, Zoe almost hung her entire body on him.<br /> The group of fierce men, and the meticulous "female agents"... Why were they after that man? What exactly was his identity?<br /> Zoe understood that she was in big trouble. <br /> Just as she wanted to question the man, she saw that his eyes gradually closed, the hand holding her waist weakly loosened, and he passed out. <br /> "Hey! Don't sleep… wake up." Zoe said urgently. She was scared to death and hugged him even tighter. <br /> They were in the mid-air. Her life would be in danger if she didn’t hold on.<br /> "Are you passed out? Our parachute seems broken." Zoe said. <br /> Those sho&ts earlier seemed to have broken her parachute. <br /> The man was unconscious and couldn't hear her.<br /> Zoe looked up and saw a few holes on the parachute as they were rapidly descending.<br /> "Oh my God! Oh my God, I'm not going to fall off here, right?” Zoe prayed.<br /> Below them was the vast sea. Zoe wished the parachute could hold on a little longer. <br /> She did not want to di&e so soon, nor di&e in such a desolate place, and a ridiculous way. That was not what she wanted. <br /> However, the parachute was sparsely descending at a very fast speed.<br /> In her 25 years of life, Zoe had never found herself so unlucky! Everything that happened to her today made everything worse for her.<br /> Without much time for her to think, they both fell heavily into the sea with a thud, and made a huge splash.<br /> <br /> 👇👇👇>>>>>>>>>>>>>👇👇👇<br /> 💕💕Click the button below to install [RosyRead] <br /> To continue reading 💕💕	LEARN_MORE	https://www.rosymance.com/landingpage-new.html?pix	100344252868372	Kelly White	https://facebook.com/100086485784589	299	1	754,552,729,821,852	2024-04-28 02:00	person_profile	eligible	NONE	0	1	0	Learn more	Kelly White	120210386486710483	www.rosymance.com	NONE	video		https://www.rosymance.com/landingpage-new.html?pixel_id=713027707555740&page_no=ff8080818f193431018f247158690a11&language=en_us&type=2&ad_id={{ad.id}}&adset_id={{adset.id}}&campaign_id={{campaign.id}}&ad_name={{ad.name}}&adset_name={{adset.name}}&campaign_name={{campaign.name}}	2024-04-28 06:35	https://scontent-sjc3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/440964127_1471961303713705_5682241478582208269_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=100&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=us_twxYc5JwAb4XRahN&_nc_ht=scontent-sjc3-1.xx&oh=00_AfAha4dggFeLXnQpUcrcNKlEG36D034EcYbN6aJNbgi4vQ&oe=6634AFA2	person_profile	0	Kelly White	https://scontent-sjc3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/440970722_788313346732254_917142616752697215_n.jpg?_nc_cat=103&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=8Ms-ZpLoEUEAb4voYs-&_nc_ht=scontent-sjc3-1.xx&oh=00_AfAdGYgDCqUhB9cqE2HjlKt4x_Aowlnr5TgZlb-Jgt2zSQ&oe=663494AD	0	3	Kelly White	2024-04-28 02:00	View Edit Delete

What’s more, she wanted to surprise Darius Saunders.<br /> Darius was her boyfriend, and tomorrow was his birthday. After staying for five years in love, and three years in a long distance relationship, Zoe counted, their relationship had been on for eight years.<br /> Suddenly, the plane jolted violently, followed by an ear piercing explosion. The items on the table scattered and rolled to the floor, making the passengers on board scream out in panic. <br /> [What's going on?]<br /> [What wrong with the plane?]<br /> [Did it hit something?]<br /> Not waiting for them to calm down, there were a few more piercing noises that were heard. Several large holes were blown out on the plane, with flames blazing brightly. The wind was blowing in, and the passengers screamed unceasingly. <br /> [Oh my God, what's going on?]<br /> [Did something happen to the plane?]<br /> [OMG, I never want to travel by plane again.]<br /> [God bless!]<br /> [Daddy, I'm scared.]<br /> The entire cabin was in chaos. Paper flew, luggage dumped on the ground, with an endless sound of things falling and people panicking. <br /> Zoe was stunned. Was there anything indeed going wrong?<br /> She had experienced a lot, but at this time, her heart still swept through a trace of panic.<br /> Because she was worried about not seeing Darius.<br /> "Passengers on board, please pay attention. Due to external factors, this aircraft is out of control. Please put on your parachute and escape at the designated escape port. This aircraft will crash in ten minutes, so all passengers don’t panic and maintain order…" The captain announced. <br /> The in-flight broadcast repeated those words, and Zoe thought that she was really screwed this time.<br /> According to the authoritative data, there had only been one air crash in 1.2 million flights, so she never thought that the probability of that would happen on her flight. <br /> Many passengers who had unfastened their seat belts rolled from side to side due to the turbulence. Uncontrollable screams rang from them, filling the entire flight.<br /> The plane reeled in every direction, and flew chaotically in the air for about two minutes. Some of the passengers even cried out as they couldn't take it anymore!<br /> Zoe thought that she couldn't just sit around and do nothing, waiting for herself to di&e. <br /> Ordinary passenger aircrafts were not usually equipped with escape tools, but this luxury aircraft Zoe traveled in was different.<br /> Before boarding the plane, Zoe had watched the crew practice parachute-donning methods, and the promotional video also introduced it. At this point, she put on the parachute quickly without panic. Then, she walked to the escape port, ready to leap off.<br /> The wind howled and her thin body swayed.<br /> Zoe had been afraid of heights since her childhood, but at this moment, she knew that if she didn’t jump, she won't have a chance to meet Darius again.<br /> Just then, someone pulled her slender wrist, and the shadow of a tall figure covered her. Before Zoe could react, the man's glittering eyes were staring at her.<br /> "Sir, what do you want to do?" Zoe asked. <br /> Zoe didn't expect to be accosted by a stranger in the nick of time.<br /> Although she was naturally beautiful and there were countless men pursuing her, at that critical moment, wasn't it more important to escape?<br /> "I need to share a parachute with you." The man's voice sounded dulcet.<br /> Zoe had never heard such a unique and handsome voice in her life. Even though she grew up in the upper class, and had met many men with handsome voices, she had heard that kind of chilly, low, and magnetic voice for the first time.<br /> 　　<br /> Chapter 2 He Suddenly Kissed Her　　<br /> The man had deep eyes, a tall nose, thin lips, and angular jawline. <br /> Apart from his voice, his appearance was eye-catching.<br /> Although Zoe grew up elegant and beautiful, her boyfriend, Darius, was also outstandingly handsome. It was the first time she had ever seen such an unparalleled handsomeness in her life.<br /> The man's strong aura engulfed her, instantly making the air around thinner. <br /> Zoe did not know how to respond at this moment.<br /> Sharing a parachute with him was certainly playing a joke on life!<br /> But without waiting for her to refuse, the man had already leaned over, and his voice carried a compelling magnetism. <br /> "Excuse me," he said. <br /> Before she could react, the man had already unbuckled her seat belt and put the parachute on himself.<br /> Who did he think he was?<br /> Did he think he could do whatever he wanted just because he's good-looking?<br /> Every seat was equipped with a parachute, so why did he have to use hers?<br /> "Sir..." Zoe muttered. Just as Zoe was about to argue with him, the man suddenly kissed her on her lips, and his tall figure pressed her to the hatch in a rapt kiss.<br /> After eight years with Darius, Zoe had yet to give him her first kiss. But the man in front of her, whom she had met the first time, had inexplicably snatched it in advance.<br /> The alluring scent of his body oozed. It was fresh, light, reminiscent of the freezing breeze in winter. Despite stinging cold, it had a refreshing effect on the brain.<br /> Zoe was stunned for a while before she realized that he was kissing her. <br /> Even if he was outstanding, he couldn't do such a thing to her in a public place!<br /> Zoe was furious and was about to raise her hand and slap him on his face, when several tall men approached. They were sweeping around a few times and discussing in a low voice…<br /> [He's not here.]<br /> [Without a parachute, he must not dare to jump off rashly, not to mention that he is seriously injured.]<br /> [He must be hiding in the crowd, let's keep looking!]<br /> Seeing them search for a while and leaving in a rage, Zoe felt a little panic. <br /> Obviously, they were not good people. <br /> “Wasn’t it more important to escape and save themselves at that moment?”she thought to herself.<br /> At that point, another group of women came over. Each of them were dressed ably and looked strictly meticulous, reminiscent of female secret agents in the movies.<br /> Zoe noticed that they put one hand in their clothes and the other hand pressing on the outside. Looking at that posture, she couldn’t help but wonder if there was a gun.<br /> Zoe was stunned.<br /> Suddenly, they ruthlessly gazed at her, as if they were using a laser, sweeping straight towards her. <br /> Zoe was shocked. Damn it, was she being targeted?<br /> One of the women glanced at her, then at the back of the man who was kissing her. The woman’s eyes no longer lingered on them as she continued to look for other targets. <br /> For them, they were a couple facing the prospect of parting forever, making a final kiss before jumping out of the plane, and were posing no threat to them.<br /> The man's back was blocked by the parachute, just enough to conceal his figure.<br /> [He should be hiding somewhere else.]<br /> [If we miss again this time, the boss will never let us go.]<br /> [Looks like we'll have to step up and not let Napoli's people find him first.]<br /> [Let's go!]<br /> Zoe listened to their conversation and couldn't help but think that the passengers on the plane were too weird. The group of mafia-like men were looking for someone. Those "female agents" were also looking for something, and that indiscriminate man in front of her was taking advantage of her.<br /> Damn it!<br /> To think that the man was still kissing her, Zoe folded her knee and kicked the man hard.<br /> 　　<br /> Chapter 3 Parachute Jumping In Each Other's Arms<br /> However, as if he had expected what she was going to do, the man reached out and blocked her attack.<br /> The man had done too much.<br /> Zoe was so angry that she reached out and tried to push him away, not expecting him to hold her hands. He pressed against the hatch with her fingers clasped together in his.<br /> Zoe's eyes were full of protest. <br /> “Who are you? Get off me! It's about to crash! Do you hear me?”<br /> Once again, the man pressed her hard against the hatch and kissed her with more force and passion.<br /> One of the "female agents" who had just turned to leave, suddenly stood still and looked back at Zoe.<br /> "Boss, what's wrong?" Another agent asked her.<br /> "We don't have much time, those Napoli's-like people are close to finding him. We need to get out of here," the other agent added. <br /> "What are you looking at?" she asked. <br /> Most of the agents followed their boss' gaze which were directed toward Zoe.

Oh my God, I'm not going to fall off here, right?” Zoe prayed.<br /> Below them was the vast sea. Zoe wished the parachute could hold on a little longer. <br /> She did not want to di&e so soon, nor di&e in such a desolate place, and a ridiculous way. That was not what she wanted. <br /> However, the parachute was sparsely descending at a very fast speed.<br /> In her 25 years of life, Zoe had never found herself so unlucky! Everything that happened to her today made everything worse for her.<br /> Without much time for her to think, they both fell heavily into the sea with a thud, and made a huge splash.<br /> Chapter 4 Saved His Life<br /> The seawater was salty, fishy, and bitter. Zoe was caught in a few mouthfuls without any preparation. She quickly floated up and gasped for breath.<br /> Luckily, she could swim, otherwise she would have di&ed there!<br /> After splashing on the sea surface for a few times, Zoe finally calmed down and looked at the vast sea.<br /> A large area of blood had diffused on the sea, as if someone had spilled a red dye, filling the sea with waves of shocking red.<br /> What's going on?<br /> Where did so much blood come from?<br /> Zoe looked around but couldn't find the man. Then she suddenly realized that the group of people earlier said that he was injured. Could that be blood from him?<br /> It seemed that he was badly injured.<br /> Zoe hesitated whether to save him. He was not an ordinary man, and she didn’t know when that group of people would catch up. If she intervened in that matter, she would certainly get into big trouble ...<br /> But if she would not save him, he would definitely sink into the sea and drow%n.<br /> Two thoughts were conflicting inside her mind.<br /> Zoe had a difficult choice to make.<br /> She started to think of her grandfather. Her grandfather had a heart attack when he was walking in the park many years ago, and at that time no one dared to come forward to help him. That incident caused him to miss the best time for treatment.<br /> Her grandfather usually went out with entourage, but that day, his entourage were waiting outside the park, no one knew he suddenly collapsed, and it was too late when he was discovered.<br /> Zoe thought of that and closed her eyes in pain. She knew that she had to save him! Since it was happening in front of her, she couldn't let him die!<br /> Diving into the sea, Zoe quickly found his direction in the water, although she was not a strong swimmer, but the physical training she received as a child allowed her to quickly overcome all difficulties to swim towards him. She struggled to pick him up. Zoe was almost overwhelmed by the heavy man.<br /> Finally she used all her strength to drag him onto shore. She did not know where the place was, but from the fishing nets hung by the residents, it should be a fishing village.<br /> The chimneys of every household were emitting white gas not for away. The smell of rice wafted into her nose, and Zoe's stomach growled spontaneously.<br /> She quickly found one of the homes, which was the closest and the fastest to arrive, and she decided to go to that family for help.<br /> "I'll be back for you soon." Zoe placed the man on the ground and, regardless of whether he heard her or not, ran alone toward the house and knocked on the door.<br /> "Is anyone there, please? I need help! Hello, is anyone there, please open the door."<br /> It didn't take long for the small door to creak open, revealing a kind face and a woman slightly taken aback, "You are?"<br /> "Hello, the plane I was on crashed and now there is a man who fell into the sea and is badly injured. I need your help, I can't pull him by myself."<br /> The woman was slightly surprised, and looked at the figure lying on the shore then shouted into the house, "Honey, come out and help."<br /> The fisherman came out with big steps. After hearing what happened, without saying a word, he carried the man back to the house.<br /> "Miss, your man is badly wounded, is this a gunshot wound?" The fisherman looked at his wound and judged.<br /> Zoe had some resistance inside. He was not her man! In her whole life, she had only one man, that was Darius!<br /> But at that point, Zoe didn't expose the truth and cooperatively said, "Yes, we encountered hijackers on the plane just now. Not only did they rob us, but they also fir**ed several shots at him."<br /> "What's wrong with the World?" The fisherman slapped his thighs in anger, "Wait a moment, I have good ancestral medicine. No matter how big the wound is, as long as you apply it, it will be fine tomorrow."<br /> 　　<br /> Chapter 5 Two People In One Room<br /> <br /> "It’s amazing." It was the first time Zoe had heard of such a medicine.<br /> The woman smiled and said, "His family has been fishing for generations, and last time his arm was even bitten down by a big fish, but after applying it, he is now pretty well."<br /> "Okay…." Zoe was a little scared when she heard those words.<br /> The woman brought in a basin of water, "You first wash your man's wounds, and later he has to apply medicine."<br /> Zoe was helpless. She misunderstood their relationship again.<br /> Dropping her gaze to the man, he was sleeping soundly with his arms around her waist, his head resting on her knees as if he were holding a comfortable doll.<br /> Why was the man still taking advantage of her at this critical time?<br /> Wasn’t he in a coma! How could he do such a shameful thing! Zoe's impression of him was even worse!<br /> "Your man seems to really cherish you. Even though he's injured, he won't let go of you. Young people are so good. Our generation would get embarrassed just holding hands..."<br /> "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you..." Zoe maintained a composed smile, but in reality she hated the shameless man to the extreme! With everything in chaos, could he just calm down a bit?<br /> The woman was about to ridicule the young couple, but when her eyes fell on the man's face, she was stunned, "He…"<br /> Seeing the woman's slight surprise, Zoe thought, "Maybe he is a celebrity even if someone in a small fishing village knows him?<br /> "Ma'am, you know him?"<br /> "He…" the woman pondered for a moment and said, "looks familiar, maybe I have seen him somewhere."<br /> Zoe was surprised. Could he be the number one criminal often shown on TV or an escap%ed priso&ner from some prison? Judging from the way he was just chased, he must have offended someone!<br /> "Ma'am, please think about it again. Where have you seen him before?"<br /> That was a matter of her life's safety! If he was a criminal, she would call the police as soon as possible! Never would she hide a criminal!<br /> The woman shook her head. "I can't remember. You should be a city girl as you dress like this, right? With such a beautiful appearance you should be a star couple."<br /> "You are flattering.How could a star as dishevelled as us?"<br /> Just then, the fisherman fetched the medicine and warmly came to Zoe, "Miss, you put this powder on his wounds, I'll have my wife call you when dinner is ready. Rest here tonight, make yourself at home."<br /> "Thank you, it's really troublesome for you."<br /> "You are welcome."<br /> Seeing them close the door and go out, Zoe then pushed the man away!<br /> The shameless bastard! Not to mention he took her first kiss, he's still taking advantage of her!<br /> Zoe was furious and punched him in the chest.<br /> Seemingly having been hit on a painful spot, the man grunted, and frowned slightly.<br /> Zoe wondered if she had hit him in the wound.<br /> Seeing black blood spilling out of his suit, Zoe subconsciously took it off for him, not expecting the white shirt inside to be red with blood and a steady stream of blood was constantly pouring out of his chest.<br /> He really hurt badly, Zoe thought.<br /> Just now soaked in seawater, and now hit by her with a punch, she knew that the wound hurt a lot.<br /> Despite her reluctance, Zoe still helped him take off his shirt, not for anything else, but to prevent him from dying there and making things worse.<br /> Seeing the bloody wound, Zoe was shocked!<br /> She first wiped his body, because his whole body was soaked in seawater after all. She had to do that to apply the medicine to him.<br /> After wiping the upper half of his body, a basin of water was already turbid, Zoe dumped the water, went outside to get a new basin of hot water and was about to wipe his lower body. However, she hesitated when her fingers moved to the belt.<br /> In her whole life, she had never taken off any man's clothes before, let alone the pants!<br /> <br /> 👇👇👇>>>>>>>>>>>>>👇👇👇<br /> 💕💕Click the button below to install [RosyRead] <br /> To continue reading 💕💕	LEARN_MORE	https://www.rosymance.com/landingpage-new.html?pix	100344252868372	Kelly White	https://facebook.com/100086485784589	299	1	2,134,969,326,842,005	2024-04-28 02:00	person_profile	eligible	NONE	0	1	0	Learn more	Kelly White	120210384617130483	www.rosymance.com	NONE	video		https://www.rosymance.com/landingpage-new.html?pixel_id=713027707555740&page_no=ff8080818f193431018f2427ead509b7&language=en_us&type=2&ad_id={{ad.id}}&adset_id={{adset.id}}&campaign_id={{campaign.id}}&ad_name={{ad.name}}&adset_name={{adset.name}}&campaign_name={{campaign.name}}	2024-04-28 05:17	https://scontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/438861774_471908425191767_7617932804085167181_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=102&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=tZFSmEhPNeYAb6xeijm&_nc_ht=scontent-lax3-1.xx&oh=00_AfBd5l_UFN5gNBVoKyW6ERPepwtwjw1ZJByIuR8oWLRISg&oe=663485F9	person_profile	0	Kelly White	https://scontent-lax3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/440414016_986760149497099_7496175721936674796_n.jpg?_nc_cat=106&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=TxiXKJKWeSMAb42V4yn&_nc_ht=scontent-lax3-2.xx&oh=00_AfCtmKc3YxI-4EiJCEAL86BB4rT1IaLzBGhKbMgHCpPiiQ&oe=663492B0	0	3	Kelly White	2024-04-28 02:00	View Edit Delete

I said, "Because I am leaving you."<br /> "No, you are not leaving me," he yelled.<br /> "I saw you earlier, sleeping with another woman, in what should have been our bed. It was what I needed to see that you were a controlling prick our whole relationship. So, yes, I am leaving you," I responded calmly, turning and hitting send.<br /> He growled, "You 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."<br /> "Get off of me," I yelled, trying to push him away from me.<br /> "Who is he," spitting as he shouted, pulling my hair harder.<br /> —<br /> Eilith's POV-<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 wasn't 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 dashed...<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 didn't feel real. It didn't 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 couldn't 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 woman's 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 woman's 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 having intercourse with another woman in my bed. His back was to me, so he didn't notice that I had seen what he was doing. The woman looked like a supermodel to me, but I really couldn't see her very well, except for a little bit of her blonde hair that was spread across the sheets. I didn't 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 couldn't 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 didn't 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 /> I knew I had to start packing everything that I had to take. I pulled out my list and got to work. I headed to the safe, I kept hidden in the bedroom. I unlocked it, and took out my passport, my mother's jewellery box, and the folder I kept important letters and documents in. I shoved them in my handbag, which thankfully was large enough to hold all of it. 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 /> 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 /> "Why are you packing all your things," he hissed, through gritted teeth.<br /> I took a deep breath, with my finger over the button, readying to hit send. I said, "Because I am leaving you."<br /> "No, you are not leaving me," he yelled.<br /> "I saw you earlier, sleeping with another woman, in what should have been our bed. It was what I needed to see that you were a controlling prick our whole relationship. So, yes, I am leaving you," I responded calmly, turning and hitting send.<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, "You 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."<br /> "Get off of me," I yelled, trying to push him away from me.<br /> "Who is he," spitting as he shouted, pulling my hair harder.<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, "I 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."<br /> Tears welled in my eyes, so I turned around and began to zip up my suitcases. I didn't want to see his reaction to what I said, I couldn't 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, "If you hadn't 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 slept with each other, 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."<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 /> "This is what I like," he growled, lust evident in his voice.<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 /> 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.<br /> I listened, carefully, despite my failing consciousness. I knew Kelly had to be here with Josh and the police. I heard yelling but it was all too far for me to be able to hear exactly what was said. A moment later a police officer came through the door, closely followed by Kelly and Josh. The police officer said into his radio, "I need paramedics up here now. Charge that man these two told us to arrest. Charge him the GBH. I also need a large evidence bag."<br /> Kelly and Josh rushed to myside, as Kelly said, "I should have gotten off work soon, so we could have been here sooner. Eilith, I am sorry."<br /> She gripped my hand and squeezed it. I wheezed, "Don't be sorry."<br /> "Eilith, can you tell me where it hurts," Josh said.<br /> "Are you a paramedic," the police officer asked.<br /> Josh shook his head, "I am a boxer, training for the Olympics, I have first aid training, so I can help until the paramedics get here."<br /> My eyes began to feel heavy. My head was pounding so much that it was getting hard to stay awake. Josh gripped my hand, and said, "Eilith, you need to stay awake. I can see your head injury. I can tell you have a chest injury, by your breathing. Try to keep your breaths slow and gentle."<br /> "What did he do to her," Kelly sobbed.<br /> "He struck her in the head two times, punched her in the face, kicked her several times in the stomach and chest, and finally he hit her with that whip over there," Josh said.<br /> "How can you tell that? Did you witness it," the policeman said.<br /> Josh shook his head, as I wheezed, "He is right, but he didn't see."<br /> "Eilith, don't talk until the paramedics get here. Try to rest, but keep your eyes open," Josh said.<br /> My consciousness began slipping. It went black for a few seconds, but Kelly and Josh's calls for me to wake up, snapped me out of it. My consciousness returned long enough for the paramedics to get here, and get an oxygen mask on me, get IV fluids going, and get me on to the stretcher that they had brought with them. I was finding it hard to stay awake. When the paramedics were dealing with me, I noticed Kelly grabbing my handbag, and a few pieces of clothing for me. She even pulled her phone out and began snapping images of my wounds and the whip, and the police that were present. I wasn't sure why, but I would certainly have to ask why she did such a thing.<br /> Conversations between those around me started to sound different. It was getting hard to try a remain awake. The paramedics moved me out of the room and into the ambulance. I guess Matthew had told Kelly to get in the ambulance with me, because she was there with me.<br /> "Drive fast, and radio ahead to the hospital," one paramedic said to the other.<br /> "Is it really that bad," Kelly asked.<br /> "Yes and no. The head wound is the most concerning. But she is fighting. Last time I saw a wound like that, the person couldn't keep their eyes open, but she is trying her hardest. She may need a few stitches on the wounds on her back. She will need x-rays and I suspect an MRI," the paramedic said.<br /> I could feel the ambulance moving fast, weaving in and out of other cars. My pain was only intensifying. The blaring sirens were not helping my head any, it only intensified the pain. But we soon arrived at the hospital, where I was given pain relief. Doctors and nurses flooded around me and began seeing to my injuries. I think I saw Kelly talking with a doctor and the paramedics. I was taken for an emergency x-ray. Then my wounds were treated, some required stitches, but others just required antiseptic treatment and a sterile medical pad and bandages. I was then taken for an MRI, to check the damage done to my skull and my brain. Only then was I taken to a hospital room, and told the results of my x-rays and MRI, by my doctor.<br /> "Hello, Miss Clarke, I am Doctor Ward. I have looked at your x-rays and MRI results. I can say you have no intracranial bleeding from the blows you sustained to your head. But I would like to keep you here for a couple days to ensure that your head injury only improves. You have a very bad concussion, we just want to make sure you don't get any bleeding on your brain, given the fact you lost consciousness a few times, it is best we keep an eye on you. You do have a few cracked ribs as well, but with proper rest, you should recover from them easily. Do not do any strenuous activities, especially after you leave here. Or, your ribs could snap and puncture your lungs, so make sure to take it easy. Try not to move too much, as you have had to have stitches in your back. They should heal quickly as long as you keep them clean. We will put new dressings on them tomorrow and again on your last day here. Before you leave in a couple days, we will do another MRI to be safe, and make sure you haven't developed any bleeding," he explained.<br /> "Thank you, Doctor Ward. Did you explain this to my friend who came with me," I cleared my throat.<br /> "You are welcome. As they were only friends, I was not able to reveal details, but I am happy to explain it to them before I send them in. A nurse will come around with antibiotics and more pain relief in a couple of hours, but if you are in too much pain, please call them for aid. Also, there are police officers and friends of yours outside waiting for you, should I send them in," he asked.<br /> I nodded, "I know my friends will be worried sick, so please tell them before you send them in, and I know the police officers will want my statement and I expect details of my injuries from you."<br /> "You remember what happened," he inquired.<br /> "Yes, I do," I responded.<br /> "That is very surprising, but a very good sign. Many will head injuries like yours will forget all sorts of different things. Do you mind telling me what happened? I know you have been beaten very badly," he questioned.<br /> "My ex-boyfriend, I tried to leave him because I found him cheating earlier today, so I tried to leave. He found me packing, and attacked me," I replied.<br /> "Alright, I will add that to my medical report. I do suggest that maybe you speak with a psychologist, while you are here, I can send one to you tomorrow morning, if you would like, because you need to get some rest first," he said.<br /> "That will be okay, I know I should speak with one," I whispered.<br /> "I will get on that now. I will send in your friends, and the police," he smiled, before turning and heading for the door.<br /> I was left alone with my thoughts, for a few moments. I couldn't help but think that Dylan will not leave me alone. Something told me that he may know about who I really am, which is part of the reason he did not want to let me go. But he has cheated on me and put me here in a hospital bed, I have never been more certain than anything in my life. I will leave him and do everything I can to stay away from him. I just had to hope that the police are not as corrupt as people make them out to be, and actually make sure that Dylan goes to jail for this.

Heath said coldly.<br /> "I Jessa Bane accept your rejection! I Jessa Bane reject you, Heath Jackson as my mate!" She spat back.<br /> She had no wolf to heal such a great deal of damage. She was simply Jessa. Born a mystery, hated, abused, and rejected. She could only wonder what the next round of torture would bring. She knew now that she was of age she was in danger of being abused in a whole new way. She could only hope they'd finish her off.<br /> "Alpha James, it seems you've taken a liking to a few of our omegas. It is not uncommon for packs to trade omegas and slaves. These three are quite a set. Their loss would be costly for us. What would you propose?" He said.<br /> "I would spare you the attack I could deliver and still end up with them. I offer you a pass from the justice this girl deserves as well as the punishment your mate certainly does. I'm not a hard man, but this is all I'll do!" He said.<br /> <br /> ————————<br /> Hanny snapped as soon as she entered the room. Her eyes narrowed in on Jessa. Something was different with her scent… she couldn't quite place it. Her eyes widened as she realized that Jessa had come of age already. And what a great amount of money she could gain by selling Jessa off to a pack member. It's forbidden to touch a woman under the age of 18, but now? Oh now she could be sold off. Well, one part of her anyways.<br /> Hanny knew men desired the strange looking omega. She saw their glances and stares. She scented their lust. Yes, she could profit greatly from this mutt. She would speak to the beta of the pack and arrange for her to be auctioned before any of them could get to her. She turned and hurried out towards the Beta's wing of the house. She knocked and waited but received no response. She instead went to look for her mate.<br /> Jessa saw Hanny's reaction and could guess exactly where she was headed and why. She knew from her years of watching other omegas who were unmated or rejected, that she was to have her innocence sold. She swallowed back bile that threatened to make her retch and tears she would not shed pricked her eyes. What was she to do?<br /> She knew what would come for Jessa. She knew she could only stand by and pick up what was left of her and help her put herself together again. If she found her mate, and he somehow accepted her, she would still have to suffer. But that never really happened. Omegas weren't usually accepted, if they were, they were merely for breeding while the males ran around with any woman they wished. It was worse in a way than flat out rejection, it was painful yes, but once accepted it was over for the most part. An unfaithful mate caused pain to their mate every time they slept with another person. And sure, the omega could reject the mate, but he would be unlikely to accept the rejection without delivering harm or death to the omega.<br /> She could only hope her friend would get one of the least malicious males. She herself knew how ruthless they could truly be.<br /> After breakfast was carefully placed in the buffet dishes and the table set, she exited the dining room and nearly ran into Heath. She couldn't believe it. He smelled incredible. Like freshly mown grass and mint. He was her mate. Oh no. What would she do now? He hated her! He turned 18 two weeks ago! She's dead.<br /> "Out of my way you mutt!" Heath spat at her. But as he said it her scent filled his nose. She smelled like fresh strawberries and lilies. So intoxicating. His wolf Regan growled out "Mate!" Heath was disgusted that he'd be paired with such a useless mate! He'd never accept this! He turned on his heel and headed to find Lucian.<br /> "Ah ss-sorry" she mumbled at his back and quickly ran off for her room.<br /> Hanny witnessed this interaction from the staircase. She saw the look that passed the mutts face. Ah, so she's the future beta's mate then… She could waste no time for sure. She went straight to the Beta's office. Knocking she awaited to be let in and smoothed her shirt and hair.<br /> "Enter Hanny" Beta Julien said with his nose stuck in a document.<br /> "Beta, I have some distressing news…" she bowed to him.<br /> "Out with it Hanny! I'm quite busy!" He snapped<br /> "Sir, I've just come from the kitchens. I sought you earlier but you were busy. It seems the omega known as Jessa came of age today. She is 18. As per our tradition she will be auctioned if her mate denies her. But sir, I saw… well, I saw a strange interaction with her and future beta Heath. I have reason to believe she may be his mate!" Hanny stuttered and finally said.<br /> "What? ! ? !" Beta Julien roared out. "How can that be? A lowly omega nobody for MY Heath? Never! Bring the worthless Trollop and my son here immediately. I'll notify the Alpha and Luna. We'll take care of this situation immediately!"<br /> Hanny turned and left the office and headed to the servants quarters to grab Jessa and do as she was instructed. But upon reaching the girls room, she was no where to be found. Displeased at having to track her down she followed her scent down to the servant's exit and then to the lakeside. She found her with Amelia and a bastards of a tramp Caleb. Such a pity he was born with no station, such a handsome face wasted on a nobody.<br /> "Jessa! Come! You've been summoned by the Beta!" Hanny snapped out. "And you two! Don't you have chores to be doing? Get to them!"<br /> "Get one thing straight mutt! You'll NEVER be with Heath! I won't allow it! Heath! Come! Reject this filthy thing and be done with it!" He spat at her.<br /> "I Heath Jackson hereby reject you, Jessa Bane as my mate!" Heath said coldly<br /> Jessa waited for the pain. But nothing came. She felt nothing but relief. She couldn't dwell on that. She needed to accept it before the pain came. Just as she opened her mouth a sharp burning sensation sent her mind reeling. He'd slapped her! He had hit her!<br /> "I Jessa Bane accept your rejection! I Jessa Bane reject you, Heath Jackson as my mate!" She spat back.<br /> Her eyes widened as she watched as the pain brought Heath to his knees. She wasn't sure what happened. She was supposed to be the one in pain, but he was instead. She was smug inside but her face showed no trace of emotion. What had happened?<br /> "Heath, sweetie, it is for you to decide what you want done with her. As she has rejected you, I suggest you accept it then teach her the proper place for an omega." She said gently.<br /> "I Heath Jackson accept your rejection!" The relief washed over him. He still couldn't understand how he came to be the one in pain, but he wouldn't let her get away with it! "Luna, I would like to hand her over to you for punishment as you see fit! Get this worthless bimbo out of my face!" He spat in Jessa's direction.<br /> "Very well, Hanny, take her to the post! Strip her to her waist. She will learn her place today! This arrogance will end today! She'll have no food for a week. She will be on the post for two days then moved to the dungeons!" Luna Kelly decreed. "She will remain in the dungeon until she can learn humility and her place."<br /> With that Jessa was dragged out of the house and forced onto the concrete base that raised the post above the ground for all to see. It was meant to make such things completely public. She had been here several times. But never had she been ordered to be stripped! She knew it was just another type of torture she would be subjected to in order to break her. But she was unbreakable. She wouldn't bend to the will of this evil woman. She would make her escape somehow. Some way she'd get herself, Amelia and Caleb out of this place. She just had to remain strong and endure this bit of pain.<br /> As the Luna left and the crowd dispersed Jessa stood proudly. With the sun burning her fair skin and the blood running down her back, she stood.<br /> After some time Jessa finally made a move. She bent to pick up her shirt though the movement caused her great pains. She put on the torn fabric and tied it together around her breasts and back. It would have to do for now. She still stood. She wouldn't bow anymore.<br /> She had no wolf to heal such a great deal of damage. She was simply Jessa. Born a mystery, hated, abused and rejected. She could only wonder what the next round of torture would bring. She knew now that she was of age she was in danger of being abused in a whole new way. She could only hope they'd finish her off.<br /> As they stepped out the packhouse James's head suddenly snapped up. 'Do you smell blood? ' He asked through the mindlink 'Yes Alpha! I do smell it! How strange. I smell wolvesbane too. Ah jeez just what kinda pack is this? ' 'I don't know but I'm following it. <br /> Someone could be in trouble' Alpha James said as he strode around the side of the house and stopped in his tracks. ' Ah Goddess! What? ' There before them was Jessa bloodied and bruised before their eyes. Her body so heavily scarred and burnt. Her auburn curls tumbling wildly around her face. <br /> Such an exquisite face! She looked like a child with her small stature but her body had all the curves of a woman. She was beautiful.<br /> She reminded him of Joan of Arc, standing before her captors calmly facing torment and surely death with her righteousness as her shield and her fire her sword. In his years he'd never seen such a brave and fearless female. Her wounds however. <br /> They were indeed serious. They still bled slightly and showed signs of reddening and infection. He assessed her condition as her strange colored eyes assessed him. He'd rarely seen eyes that color. She must have come from a far off tribe. <br /> Strangely she didn't smell of a wolf. She must be wolfless. How sad. But there was something about her. James just couldn't place it. Something was different with her. <br /> Finally she opened her mouth to speak to this man staring her down.<br /> "Come to have a look at me? Maybe see what you're buying before you pay your money down?" She sneered<br /> Taken aback by her tone and words James's head snapped up and he met her eyes.<br /> "I beg your pardon miss? Pay? Money? I have no clue what you're saying!" He said in annoyance as much as confusion.<br /> "I'll bet you don't. Hanny knows I'm now of age. Tell me, how much did she offer me up for? What's the bid at now? I'm betting she's asking a lot. I've seen the way they stare. They are all waiting to get their hands on me. But I'll fight back! I don't care if they kill me! I won't let them do it!" She spat out at him.<br /> "What ARE you taking about woman?" Sam finally spoke up.<br /> Jessa's head swung towards him just noticing him for the first time. He was a shorter blond copy of the other man. But his eyes were coffee brown. Not an unpleasant color. He was slightly softer in the middle than his friend. She rolled her eyes.<br /> "It's pack tradition. I'm sure everyone knows by now that I was rejected by Heath. As a rejected omega my first time will be sold to the wolf with the highest bid. Don't play dumb." She retorted with razors dripping off her tongue.<br /> "WHAT? ! ? !" Both men exploded at once.<br /> "Pack tradition? What is this? What do you mean sold? That's barbaric! It's wrong!" James ranted as he paced back and forth. Even Sam was unable to calm himself or the alpha down. Then he happened to notice that her feet were bound with silver shackles.<br /> 'Look at her feet! They've put her in silver shackles! Omg they're burnt completely up!' Sam yelled in mindlink.<br /> "Girl, what is your name?" James demanded in alpha tone.<br /> Jessa's eyes went wide as she realized these weren't members of her pack. These were outsiders and one was an Alpha! She immediately lowered her head and put her eyes to her feet.<br /> "Jessa sir" she replied.<br /> "Jessa I need you to do me a favor. Stay still. My Beta is going to look around for the key and get this chain and shackle off you. Do you know where it is?"<br /> "Hanny has one key and Luna Kelly the other. I'm sorry but there's no way to remove it. I'm used to it sir, please don't trouble yourself. I'm just a lowly omega. A slave. I only have to stay alive to save myself and my siblings." She said sadly.<br /> "You have siblings? Are they also omegas? The warrior said you were found." James questioned<br /> "I was. Another omega took me in. She raised me until her death. She raised me alongside her daughter Amelia. Later we took to looking out for another orphaned boy, Caleb. He's an omega too. His parents were killed in a rogue attack. He's only fifteen and Amelia is eighteen like me. They're all I have. Please, don't trouble yourself." She said her sadness increasing.<br /> They were soon aware of the tapping of heels and a much heavier footfall coming from the stairway behind them. Luna Kelly and Beta Julien stepped forward and stood beside Hanny.<br /> "What's going in here?" Luna Kelly demanded.<br /> "I caught these scum attempting to abduct three of our omegas Luna!" Hanny said.<br /> "I see, Alpha James, Beta Sam, why are you stealing our omegas?" Luna Kelly asked with her voice dripping venom with each word.<br /> "We found this girl chained up outside. Her wounds are extensive and she's clearly been abused. I should ask you exactly why she's been treated so poorly!" Alpha James replied with just as much hatred in his voice.<br /> "This girl is a murderer and a troublemaker. I will punish her as I see fit! Are you questioning my authority as a Luna?" She raged<br /> "I'm questioning your capability as a Luna quite frankly!" He snapped back.<br /> Both Julien and Hanny growled and bared fangs at his words. How dare he? Alpha or not he had no say on this territory and certainly no right to insult their Luna! Julien mindlinked Alpha Mark to come at once.<br /> "How dare you? This is my pack and my territory! You would dare to stand here insulting me to my face?" She seethed.<br /> "I most certainly would. Your actions are cruel and unforgivable! I know of this girls origin. Your evilness has made her life unbelievably miserable. I would suggest you move aside and let us leave or there will be trouble. I don't think I have to remind you that our pack's numbers are much stronger and more powerful." James said threateningly.<br /> Just then from the top of the stairs Alpha Mark appeared. He took note of the scene unfolding below him. It seemed Alpha James has taken to Jessa and her siblings. He secretly smiled inside. Maybe the kid would catch a break now. He was certainly getting too old for this anymore. Lucian would be taking over in just a few short days now and he would be free of all this nonsense!<br /> Mark cleared his throat and descended the stairs. He looked at Kelly and Julien then to Alpha James. After a moment he spoke:<br /> "Alpha James, it seems you've taken a liking to a few of our omegas. It is not uncommon for packs to trade omegas and slaves. These three are quite a set. Their loss would be costly for us. What would you propose?" He said<br /> "I would spare you the attack I could deliver and still end up with them. I offer you a pass from the justice this girl deserves as well as the punishment your mate certainly does. I'm not a hard man, but this is all I'll do!" He said.<br /> "No! She is worth a great deal of money right now!" Luna Kelly spoke up.<br /> "Your woman still doesn't know her place does she?" James mumbled.<br /> "Silence Kelly! I know about the sick bets and bids you have going. I put my foot down here. No more. No more selling the omegas to the highest bidders to do with what they want. No more. You've been abusing this girl far too long. It stops now!" Mark commanded. "As for you Hanny, you're dismissed from the role of training omegas. I don't know how you play into this Julien but you can leave now."<br /> Julien turned and strode away. There was nothing he could do and he certainly didn't want to go down with them. Truth was, he was just a coward underneath it all.<br /> Mark returned his attention back to his wife and Hanny.<br /> 'I'll deal with you two later, and as for the three omegas, I'll just ask that you please reconsider my plea as payment?' He said<br /> James thought a second and decided to answer later once he had Jessa and her siblings safely away. He nodded his head curtly and walked them out the door to his black stretch Expedition.

Her next words took both of them by surprise. She was anything but weak and she knew she deserved a lot better than some douche bag who was disrespectful towards his own mate. Alpha or not, he shouldn't be the one who gets the last laugh.<br /> ***<br /> Nikolina POV<br /> 4 hours earlier<br /> I woke up in a very good mood. I am finally eighteen and today is the day I find my mate. It actually depends on both sides. If they are of age, they'll find each other soon enough, seventeen is the youngest you can be when you find your mate.<br /> However, most of the time, the guy or the girl have to wait for their other half to come of age, which I think is a great idea.<br /> Yes, I'm a werewolf, specifically the current Beta's daughter and soon to be Beta's sister. The disappointment of the family. But that's okay; I'm not very inclined to make them proud or follow in their footsteps, but mostly they want Alex to do it.<br /> Don't get me wrong. I'm not abused or bullied; except for the occasional remarks, shunned from society, the usual stuff.<br /> They say I'm ugly, but I know better than to believe that. I could have been popular due to my blue eyes and gold speckles, blonde hair and hourglass figure. But I like to keep to myself. Plus my hair was naturally blonde unlike my mother's peroxide bleached hair that comes out of bottles and pricey extensions. Actually, dad and Alex both have brown hair so I don't know how I have blonde hair. For months, I even checked the roots of my hair to find some sort of discoloration to prove that even my hair was bleached. But in vain.<br /> My mom was the stereotypical cheerleader in high school while my dad was the “douche” and quarterback. Apparently they want me to be like them, and social hierarchy exists in packs as well. And my brother is following our parents footsteps, sleeping with more than half of the population, while I'm not.<br /> They revel in attention and bullying people who are lower than them, as they say. To the outside world, my family and I love each other. On the inside it’s an extreme hate relationship, something the pack is aware of except for the Alpha and Luna.<br /> If they knew the truth, my parents, Tiffany and Mark, would lose their respect and beloved Alex's position would be taken away from him. Which would obviously take his popularity down a notch. Horrifying for him. Entertaining for me.<br /> Anyways, today is also the soon-to-be Alpha's eighteenth birthday. James Rodriguez.<br /> Sometimes I wonder how someone as sweet and kind as Diana and George, produce a kid like James.<br /> In short, James is the snobby player. It’s actually really surprising how none of the girls are pregnant yet...<br /> Back to me, I dressed up with more care than usual. I wore a baby pink sundress with black gladiator sandals. I applied a bit of winged liner to make my eyes pop. I've always read stories about loving mates. Who knows how much of it is true? For all I know, it’s some made up fantasy to make mates seem like the ultimate endgame. Maybe one day, I would meet my mate and then we could run away towards the sunset............or something, I don't really care.<br /> Apparently, all mates are compatible with their other half. It’s like love at first sight and the males getting all possessive about their mates is very appealing and a turn on, or so I've heard.<br /> It's all hearsay. And I think it’s stupid. It’s like the males are all custom made robots. Why else would their behavior be so alike?<br /> And there was a paragraph about heat and shifting and marking. Maybe, my mate's gonna go all caveman on me and tear my throat out.<br /> I'm just kidding, morbid thoughts on my birthday are kind of my thing. And its wishful thinking. I don't care. He might even be an omega and I still wouldn't care. Even if he's a human, it wouldn't matter. And if he's not in this pack then..... Oh well... It's better for me. I don't want to stay in a pack where I have no respect and people treat me bad. Status had once mattered to me. But when you have parents like mine, you kind of start praying not to ever be like them.<br /> Not once did they look at me but of course, Alexander was doted on by everyone. Kids. Parents. Friends. You name it.<br /> Apparently, it's because he's a boy. And according to my mother, girls are good for getting screwed, getting hit on, obeying their men, acting flirty along, and popping out heirs.<br /> And lucky for you all, my mother happens to be exhibit A.<br /> You should all be jealous because it's not everyday that you have a live walking, talking example to show the word and tell them what a hoe your mother is.<br /> Third Person POV <br /> Nikolina walked to school as she was not allowed a car. Though Alex was the proud owner of a shiny Silver Volvo. Double standards were very common in the Reed family. She had always wanted her own car, something that was a stunning shade of bright canary yellow, but that dream was nowhere close to becoming a reality.<br /> All of a sudden, she smelt an amazing scent; peppermint and honey. Lydia purred and rolled around in happiness, barely able to contain her excitement.<br /> On searching for the source, her eyes met warm, hazel orbs. His eyes expressed lust and adoration as they raked all over her body.<br /> Realization finally hit her hard when she saw that James-freaking-Rodriguez was her mate! The next Alpha of Solaris Eclipse Pack. And he was Portia's long-standing boyfriend.<br /> You know what he did next? James went back to groping the head cheerleader. “Portia.... “ Oh, sorry. Rookie mistake. Portia Scott.<br /> Tears threatened to fall while her wolf Lydia whimpered, seeing her mate touch another...<br /> “Our mate is beautiful.” James's wolf, Jace said. Nikolina was more than just beautiful. Many males of the pack thought she was gorgeous but never mentioned it out loud due to the fear of facing Alex's wrath. Alex was the one to start it all: the petty insults, the hateful words and making an outcast out of her. Others had just followed his footsteps. And of course, some of the girls were shallow enough to find happiness by making Nikolina feel miserable, because they were insecure about themselves.<br /> But the main issue was, though James thought Nikolina was pretty, he would never accept her as his mate and Luna. Though she was Beta Mark's daughter and was of high status, both him and his ego considered her a nobody. He knew about the insults and he had done it as well. In his eyes, she was worthless and all everyone ever did was talk down on her and she never fought back.<br /> He couldn't have a... thing like that as his mate. Beauty just wasn't enough for him, being a ruthless woman was a requirement.<br /> “She might be beautiful but I don't want her. She's a nobody. If people know that she is my mate, I would become the laughing stock of my pack. Seriously, people walk all over her. She can never be my Luna.” That was the thought going through his mind as he sucked on Portia's neck hard enough to bruise.<br /> “Ow! You're hurting me, boo! You know Kelly has my concealer today.” Portia whined but still made no move to shove James away. She just proceeded to grind her lower body into James and trying to get as close as humanly possible without getting rid of her clothes in public.<br /> James finally pried Portia off his body and walked towards his mate. In some ways, Portia was like a bloodsucking leech or an annoying wart, never leaving without a fight.<br /> “Baby, where are you going? I need you!” Her voice was like a cat dragging its claws across a board.<br /> James just signalled her to shut up before walking towards his mate. He would do the right thing, of course, as the future Alpha of Solaris Eclipse Pack and give Nikolina what she deserves.<br /> He stopped in front of her and asked, “What's your name?”<br /> “Nikolina,” she stated. He soon noticed that she had no friends and no car and he felt the curious stares on his back as everyone's attention was on him.<br /> “I, James Rodriguez, soon to be alpha of Eclipse Pack reject you, Nikolina Reed as my mate and Luna. “ As he rejected her, Jace whimpered and cowered. And James felt bad but he knew this was the right thing to do for himself and the pack. From his perspective, Nikolina was someone who brought out the worst in people and Portia was way more deserving to be his mate and Luna, considering that she was fearless and wasn't afraid to fight dirty for her rights.<br /> James was an egoistic douche bag who mistook petty behavior for fearless but he was blinded by the greed for power and popularity.<br /> The pain was blinding for Nikolina. She would have collapsed if not for the anger that surged through her. She was furious. At James. The Moon Goddess. Not realizing how painful rejection was. Her fate. It was a never ending list.<br /> It felt like she was being drowned in liquid bleach, her lungs burned and she saw red. Anger took over the pain she was feeling and she didn't want to give him the satisfaction of knowing how hurt she was.<br /> Her next words took both of them by surprise. She was anything but weak and she knew she deserved a lot better than some douche bag who was disrespectful towards his own mate. Alpha or not, he shouldn't be the one who gets the last laugh.<br /> “I, Nikolina Reed, accept your rejection as my mate and Alpha. I sincerely hope you get the clap!”<br /> With that, she turned on her heel and left the school premises.<br /> “Who needs a mate? Especially someone like James. People like him need girls like Portia by their sides, who cater to their whims and needs and whatever freaky carnal desire they might have.” Nikolina thought darkly. She wasn't going to give in to her pain and this rejection was the final push that encouraged her to chase after her freedom and break bonds with the family who had clipped off her wings.<br /> James felt a tiny bit of hurt realizing that she didn't even think twice before accepting the rejection and all he could wonder was how did she not burst into tears or grovel at his feet to take her back. Jace did not talk. He just whimpered, feeling the loss of his mate. Before James could think of it anymore, Portia dragged him to an empty classroom to distract her beloved Jamie boo. It seemed as if James wasn't the least bit affected by the incident with Nikolina, because his actions didn't falter as he hitched Portia's skirt up and ripped her panties, drilling her like an animal and releasing himself on her clothes and face as he left her alone to clean up.<br /> Nikolina POV<br /> “Well, he can go drill his toy as much as he wants.” I thought darkly while making my way towards home. All Lydia did was whimper. The moment I saw James, I knew something like this was bound to happen. You don't have any expectations when someone like him is supposed to be your destined mate. He was born with a big ego and he can just stuff it up his.<br /> “Maybe he regrets hurting us, you know.” Lydia whimpered.<br /> Before I could reply, searing hot pain flooded my senses. I felt myself fall on the pavement and the pain started to become more intense. It is obvious, isn't it? He's already drilling someone just minutes after rejecting me. It felt like my body was set on fire and the blistering flames charred my skin.<br /> I slowly got up and almost keeled over as my vision turned white. Dizziness washed over me. I had to clench my fists and dig my fingers hard enough to draw blood. Getting away from him and this stupid pack is my best bet. He was doing it intentionally considering the fact he knows that we're both connected unless one of us dies or gets marked by another. Walking never felt so strenuous and with every step I had to force myself to not curl up on the pavement and cry. I know I deserve someone better but I did want to cry my pain away.<br /> After what seemed like hours, the pain slowly ebbed away. Painful times ahead. The only problem is that the mate bond doesn't break even after being rejected. Only if the rejected is marked by the first mate or by another, or if one of the mates die, will the bond break.<br /> I entered my house and went to my room to pack my bags. You know, in every werewolf story the rejected mate writes letters before leaving. There's no logic to it. I mean, don't you get it? No one cares if you leave. No one cares if you die. No one cares if you slit your throat or get molested or murdered. That's the harsh truth. Why should I open my feelings on a letter make them feel pity? I can just run away and live my best life, away from them. It's not like they will send out search teams for you.<br /> I don't want pity. I can do better than that. I picked up my red lipstick and wrote in capitals before leaving. I know I'm dramatic but it serves them right. They'll remember this for years to come: women can walk away without feeling a twinge of guilt or regret.<br /> Showing vulnerability would only make me seem weak and I've let people walk over me way too many times.<br /> My mom was probably busy getting her hair done or something. That's the only thing she ever does. Or her nails. Or maybe she was out shopping with snobby people like herself. It's obvious that birds of a feather flock together. The only thing I ever liked about her is that she cooked for us, sometimes. Mom made a mean lasagna.<br /> Dad was probably with Alpha George. That's usually where he is. But then again, he also has this terrible habit of getting drunk during daylight hours. And once he even groped some other girl in front of the whole pack. Mom turned an ugly shade of red as she kicked him in the crotch. Those were the good days. It was fun when he laid on the couch with a bag of frozen peas on his groin and mom was nowhere around.<br /> Leaving was better for me anyway. Nothing was tying me down to this place. No friends. No proper family. I would be doing myself and them a favor.<br /> I took my dad's sleek black Porsche for my escapade. I might as well leave loaded and in style, besides it's high time I had a car.<br /> Just as I reached the pack border, I said, “I, Nikolina Reed, break all ties with the Solaris Eclipse Pack.” The patrol guards looked at me, but its not like they would stop me.<br /> The pack links broke and with that I revved up the engine and sped through the borders, driving towards my new life. A better life. It was a blessing that this pack did not care enough to stop me.<br /> <br /> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><br /> Wanna listen more? download our App and check more! Novel ID: 99168!

Heath said coldly.<br /> "I Jessa Bane accept your rejection! I Jessa Bane reject you, Heath Jackson as my mate!" She spat back.<br /> She had no wolf to heal such a great deal of damage. She was simply Jessa. Born a mystery, hated, abused, and rejected. She could only wonder what the next round of torture would bring. She knew now that she was of age she was in danger of being abused in a whole new way. She could only hope they'd finish her off.<br /> "Alpha James, it seems you've taken a liking to a few of our omegas. It is not uncommon for packs to trade omegas and slaves. These three are quite a set. Their loss would be costly for us. What would you propose?" He said.<br /> "I would spare you the attack I could deliver and still end up with them. I offer you a pass from the justice this girl deserves as well as the punishment your mate certainly does. I'm not a hard man, but this is all I'll do!" He said.<br /> <br /> ————————<br /> Hanny snapped as soon as she entered the room. Her eyes narrowed in on Jessa. Something was different with her scent… she couldn't quite place it. Her eyes widened as she realized that Jessa had come of age already. And what a great amount of money she could gain by selling Jessa off to a pack member. It's forbidden to touch a woman under the age of 18, but now? Oh now she could be sold off. Well, one part of her anyways.<br /> Hanny knew men desired the strange looking omega. She saw their glances and stares. She scented their lust. Yes, she could profit greatly from this mutt. She would speak to the beta of the pack and arrange for her to be auctioned before any of them could get to her. She turned and hurried out towards the Beta's wing of the house. She knocked and waited but received no response. She instead went to look for her mate.<br /> Jessa saw Hanny's reaction and could guess exactly where she was headed and why. She knew from her years of watching other omegas who were unmated or rejected, that she was to have her innocence sold. She swallowed back bile that threatened to make her retch and tears she would not shed pricked her eyes. What was she to do?<br /> She knew what would come for Jessa. She knew she could only stand by and pick up what was left of her and help her put herself together again. If she found her mate, and he somehow accepted her, she would still have to suffer. But that never really happened. Omegas weren't usually accepted, if they were, they were merely for breeding while the males ran around with any woman they wished. It was worse in a way than flat out rejection, it was painful yes, but once accepted it was over for the most part. An unfaithful mate caused pain to their mate every time they slept with another person. And sure, the omega could reject the mate, but he would be unlikely to accept the rejection without delivering harm or death to the omega.<br /> She could only hope her friend would get one of the least malicious males. She herself knew how ruthless they could truly be.<br /> After breakfast was carefully placed in the buffet dishes and the table set, she exited the dining room and nearly ran into Heath. She couldn't believe it. He smelled incredible. Like freshly mown grass and mint. He was her mate. Oh no. What would she do now? He hated her! He turned 18 two weeks ago! She's dead.<br /> "Out of my way you mutt!" Heath spat at her. But as he said it her scent filled his nose. She smelled like fresh strawberries and lilies. So intoxicating. His wolf Regan growled out "Mate!" Heath was disgusted that he'd be paired with such a useless mate! He'd never accept this! He turned on his heel and headed to find Lucian.<br /> "Ah ss-sorry" she mumbled at his back and quickly ran off for her room.<br /> Hanny witnessed this interaction from the staircase. She saw the look that passed the mutts face. Ah, so she's the future beta's mate then… She could waste no time for sure. She went straight to the Beta's office. Knocking she awaited to be let in and smoothed her shirt and hair.<br /> "Enter Hanny" Beta Julien said with his nose stuck in a document.<br /> "Beta, I have some distressing news…" she bowed to him.<br /> "Out with it Hanny! I'm quite busy!" He snapped<br /> "Sir, I've just come from the kitchens. I sought you earlier but you were busy. It seems the omega known as Jessa came of age today. She is 18. As per our tradition she will be auctioned if her mate denies her. But sir, I saw… well, I saw a strange interaction with her and future beta Heath. I have reason to believe she may be his mate!" Hanny stuttered and finally said.<br /> "What? ! ? !" Beta Julien roared out. "How can that be? A lowly omega nobody for MY Heath? Never! Bring the worthless Trollop and my son here immediately. I'll notify the Alpha and Luna. We'll take care of this situation immediately!"<br /> Hanny turned and left the office and headed to the servants quarters to grab Jessa and do as she was instructed. But upon reaching the girls room, she was no where to be found. Displeased at having to track her down she followed her scent down to the servant's exit and then to the lakeside. She found her with Amelia and a bastards of a tramp Caleb. Such a pity he was born with no station, such a handsome face wasted on a nobody.<br /> "Jessa! Come! You've been summoned by the Beta!" Hanny snapped out. "And you two! Don't you have chores to be doing? Get to them!"<br /> "Get one thing straight mutt! You'll NEVER be with Heath! I won't allow it! Heath! Come! Reject this filthy thing and be done with it!" He spat at her.<br /> "I Heath Jackson hereby reject you, Jessa Bane as my mate!" Heath said coldly<br /> Jessa waited for the pain. But nothing came. She felt nothing but relief. She couldn't dwell on that. She needed to accept it before the pain came. Just as she opened her mouth a sharp burning sensation sent her mind reeling. He'd slapped her! He had hit her!<br /> "I Jessa Bane accept your rejection! I Jessa Bane reject you, Heath Jackson as my mate!" She spat back.<br /> Her eyes widened as she watched as the pain brought Heath to his knees. She wasn't sure what happened. She was supposed to be the one in pain, but he was instead. She was smug inside but her face showed no trace of emotion. What had happened?<br /> "Heath, sweetie, it is for you to decide what you want done with her. As she has rejected you, I suggest you accept it then teach her the proper place for an omega." She said gently.<br /> "I Heath Jackson accept your rejection!" The relief washed over him. He still couldn't understand how he came to be the one in pain, but he wouldn't let her get away with it! "Luna, I would like to hand her over to you for punishment as you see fit! Get this worthless bimbo out of my face!" He spat in Jessa's direction.<br /> "Very well, Hanny, take her to the post! Strip her to her waist. She will learn her place today! This arrogance will end today! She'll have no food for a week. She will be on the post for two days then moved to the dungeons!" Luna Kelly decreed. "She will remain in the dungeon until she can learn humility and her place."<br /> With that Jessa was dragged out of the house and forced onto the concrete base that raised the post above the ground for all to see. It was meant to make such things completely public. She had been here several times. But never had she been ordered to be stripped! She knew it was just another type of torture she would be subjected to in order to break her. But she was unbreakable. She wouldn't bend to the will of this evil woman. She would make her escape somehow. Some way she'd get herself, Amelia and Caleb out of this place. She just had to remain strong and endure this bit of pain.<br /> As the Luna left and the crowd dispersed Jessa stood proudly. With the sun burning her fair skin and the blood running down her back, she stood.<br /> After some time Jessa finally made a move. She bent to pick up her shirt though the movement caused her great pains. She put on the torn fabric and tied it together around her breasts and back. It would have to do for now. She still stood. She wouldn't bow anymore.<br /> She had no wolf to heal such a great deal of damage. She was simply Jessa. Born a mystery, hated, abused and rejected. She could only wonder what the next round of torture would bring. She knew now that she was of age she was in danger of being abused in a whole new way. She could only hope they'd finish her off.<br /> As they stepped out the packhouse James's head suddenly snapped up. 'Do you smell blood? ' He asked through the mindlink 'Yes Alpha! I do smell it! How strange. I smell wolvesbane too. Ah jeez just what kinda pack is this? ' 'I don't know but I'm following it. <br /> Someone could be in trouble' Alpha James said as he strode around the side of the house and stopped in his tracks. ' Ah Goddess! What? ' There before them was Jessa bloodied and bruised before their eyes. Her body so heavily scarred and burnt. Her auburn curls tumbling wildly around her face. <br /> Such an exquisite face! She looked like a child with her small stature but her body had all the curves of a woman. She was beautiful.<br /> She reminded him of Joan of Arc, standing before her captors calmly facing torment and surely death with her righteousness as her shield and her fire her sword. In his years he'd never seen such a brave and fearless female. Her wounds however. <br /> They were indeed serious. They still bled slightly and showed signs of reddening and infection. He assessed her condition as her strange colored eyes assessed him. He'd rarely seen eyes that color. She must have come from a far off tribe. <br /> Strangely she didn't smell of a wolf. She must be wolfless. How sad. But there was something about her. James just couldn't place it. Something was different with her. <br /> Finally she opened her mouth to speak to this man staring her down.<br /> "Come to have a look at me? Maybe see what you're buying before you pay your money down?" She sneered<br /> Taken aback by her tone and words James's head snapped up and he met her eyes.<br /> "I beg your pardon miss? Pay? Money? I have no clue what you're saying!" He said in annoyance as much as confusion.<br /> "I'll bet you don't. Hanny knows I'm now of age. Tell me, how much did she offer me up for? What's the bid at now? I'm betting she's asking a lot. I've seen the way they stare. They are all waiting to get their hands on me. But I'll fight back! I don't care if they kill me! I won't let them do it!" She spat out at him.<br /> "What ARE you taking about woman?" Sam finally spoke up.<br /> Jessa's head swung towards him just noticing him for the first time. He was a shorter blond copy of the other man. But his eyes were coffee brown. Not an unpleasant color. He was slightly softer in the middle than his friend. She rolled her eyes.<br /> "It's pack tradition. I'm sure everyone knows by now that I was rejected by Heath. As a rejected omega my first time will be sold to the wolf with the highest bid. Don't play dumb." She retorted with razors dripping off her tongue.<br /> "WHAT? ! ? !" Both men exploded at once.<br /> "Pack tradition? What is this? What do you mean sold? That's barbaric! It's wrong!" James ranted as he paced back and forth. Even Sam was unable to calm himself or the alpha down. Then he happened to notice that her feet were bound with silver shackles.<br /> 'Look at her feet! They've put her in silver shackles! Omg they're burnt completely up!' Sam yelled in mindlink.<br /> "Girl, what is your name?" James demanded in alpha tone.<br /> Jessa's eyes went wide as she realized these weren't members of her pack. These were outsiders and one was an Alpha! She immediately lowered her head and put her eyes to her feet.<br /> "Jessa sir" she replied.<br /> "Jessa I need you to do me a favor. Stay still. My Beta is going to look around for the key and get this chain and shackle off you. Do you know where it is?"<br /> "Hanny has one key and Luna Kelly the other. I'm sorry but there's no way to remove it. I'm used to it sir, please don't trouble yourself. I'm just a lowly omega. A slave. I only have to stay alive to save myself and my siblings." She said sadly.<br /> "You have siblings? Are they also omegas? The warrior said you were found." James questioned<br /> "I was. Another omega took me in. She raised me until her death. She raised me alongside her daughter Amelia. Later we took to looking out for another orphaned boy, Caleb. He's an omega too. His parents were killed in a rogue attack. He's only fifteen and Amelia is eighteen like me. They're all I have. Please, don't trouble yourself." She said her sadness increasing.<br /> They were soon aware of the tapping of heels and a much heavier footfall coming from the stairway behind them. Luna Kelly and Beta Julien stepped forward and stood beside Hanny.<br /> "What's going in here?" Luna Kelly demanded.<br /> "I caught these scum attempting to abduct three of our omegas Luna!" Hanny said.<br /> "I see, Alpha James, Beta Sam, why are you stealing our omegas?" Luna Kelly asked with her voice dripping venom with each word.<br /> "We found this girl chained up outside. Her wounds are extensive and she's clearly been abused. I should ask you exactly why she's been treated so poorly!" Alpha James replied with just as much hatred in his voice.<br /> "This girl is a murderer and a troublemaker. I will punish her as I see fit! Are you questioning my authority as a Luna?" She raged<br /> "I'm questioning your capability as a Luna quite frankly!" He snapped back.<br /> Both Julien and Hanny growled and bared fangs at his words. How dare he? Alpha or not he had no say on this territory and certainly no right to insult their Luna! Julien mindlinked Alpha Mark to come at once.<br /> "How dare you? This is my pack and my territory! You would dare to stand here insulting me to my face?" She seethed.<br /> "I most certainly would. Your actions are cruel and unforgivable! I know of this girls origin. Your evilness has made her life unbelievably miserable. I would suggest you move aside and let us leave or there will be trouble. I don't think I have to remind you that our pack's numbers are much stronger and more powerful." James said threateningly.<br /> Just then from the top of the stairs Alpha Mark appeared. He took note of the scene unfolding below him. It seemed Alpha James has taken to Jessa and her siblings. He secretly smiled inside. Maybe the kid would catch a break now. He was certainly getting too old for this anymore. Lucian would be taking over in just a few short days now and he would be free of all this nonsense!<br /> Mark cleared his throat and descended the stairs. He looked at Kelly and Julien then to Alpha James. After a moment he spoke:<br /> "Alpha James, it seems you've taken a liking to a few of our omegas. It is not uncommon for packs to trade omegas and slaves. These three are quite a set. Their loss would be costly for us. What would you propose?" He said<br /> "I would spare you the attack I could deliver and still end up with them. I offer you a pass from the justice this girl deserves as well as the punishment your mate certainly does. I'm not a hard man, but this is all I'll do!" He said.<br /> "No! She is worth a great deal of money right now!" Luna Kelly spoke up.<br /> "Your woman still doesn't know her place does she?" James mumbled.<br /> "Silence Kelly! I know about the sick bets and bids you have going. I put my foot down here. No more. No more selling the omegas to the highest bidders to do with what they want. No more. You've been abusing this girl far too long. It stops now!" Mark commanded. "As for you Hanny, you're dismissed from the role of training omegas. I don't know how you play into this Julien but you can leave now."<br /> Julien turned and strode away. There was nothing he could do and he certainly didn't want to go down with them. Truth was, he was just a coward underneath it all.<br /> Mark returned his attention back to his wife and Hanny.<br /> 'I'll deal with you two later, and as for the three omegas, I'll just ask that you please reconsider my plea as payment?' He said<br /> James thought a second and decided to answer later once he had Jessa and her siblings safely away. He nodded his head curtly and walked them out the door to his black stretch Expedition.

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 couldn’t 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, I…" 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. "Janet…She’s, my mate." He finally announced, causing the house to cheer in celebration that their future Luna had been claimed.

Now, come here.”<br /> He leans in and our touch starts soft and slow. <br /> I feel like with each touchI fall deeper and deeper under his spell.<br /> “If you want to stop that’s okay, just tell me.”<br /> “Jonathan, please don’t stop. I want this.”<br /> ————————<br /> Emily'S POV<br /> When we first walked in, I had heard the whooping and hollering of fun being had in the back of the bar where the pool tables were, but was too deep in my own head to notice that same fun had moved to the foosball table next to us. All that fun comes in the form of three unnaturally hot guys.<br /> I knew with a quick glance that all three were attractive but I couldn’t take my eyes off the one with the dimples. And that laugh! There was something infectious about his laugh that just makes you smile and want to laugh too. Our entire table seems memorized by it.<br /> This man is magnificent.<br /> I finally remember to breathe, but I continue staring at him with a smile on my face while taking inventory of him. I had already noticed the dimples from his side profile but when he looks right at me with those adorable little indents in his cheeks, that perfect smile and those eyes. I wouldn’t know, because I’m not sure I would know any of the colors of the rainbow at this moment. He is simply beautiful. He must be a little over six feet tall, with short dark brown hair, an olive complexion, the most beautiful pair of lips I have ever seen, and those eyes! He has long, dark eyelashes that any woman would pay good money for and he was just born with them. He is the epitome of tall, dark and handsome.<br /> But there was something different at work here and not just an attraction. There was something familiar about him. I know that I’ve never seen him before, because I would remember him. But there was a connection that shot right through me the moment those magnificent eyes locked on to mine.<br /> Suddenly, I realize he isn’t just looking back at me, but he’s staring at me like we are the only two people in the bar and with a huge smile on his face. Well, Look at me, just sitting here smiling back at him. I know right then and there that he is trouble with a capital T!<br /> Knowing I need to take a moment to break the spell he has me under, I yell over to the girls. “Guys, I’ll be right back.”<br /> “And where do you think you’re going, chica?” Cami asks like she can’t believe I would want to miss any of the show happening in front of us.<br /> “Just the little girls room. I’ll be right back. Promise.”<br /> When I leave the comfort of my throw pillows and window seat, I make a point of not making eye contact with Dimples as I scurry past the foosball table. Once in the bathroom, I turn on the faucet and put my wrists under the flow of the ice cold water to help calm the heat that overtook me the instant he looked at me. I wet a paper towel with cold water and dab it on the back of my neck. Better.<br /> What is wrong with me?<br /> Instant connection and flirting with hot guys is not in my plan. With the crazy that is my life, there is no room for relationships, innocent flirting or a wretched one-night stand. <br /> After taking a moment to remind myself that flirting isn’t an option, I feel cooled down enough to head back out. But when I pull open the bathroom door, something seems different. It’s quiet. Thank goodness. This must mean Dimples and his crew of hotties have left. Thank God for small miracles.<br /> Making my way back to the table I’m convinced that there are no such things as small miracles. Dimples and his hotties were not only still here, but had pulled up stools and were at our table.<br /> You have got to be kidding me!<br /> So, much for our prime seating and my comfy window seat. This just keeps getting better. Any other time in my life I might have felt differently, but this was the last thing I needed.<br /> As I approach the table, Dimples immediately stands up and makes way for me to take back my seat in the window. As I scoot by him it’s like there’s a heat coming off of him that I can feel without even touching him, and my stomach flips with excitement. As I sit down he reaches his hand out and says, “Hi, I’m Jonathan. It’s really nice to meet you.”<br /> “Emily, nice to meet you too,” I say taking his hand in mine.<br /> I try to ignore the warmth of his hand and the heat that it sent crashing through my body, but it’s impossible. This doesn’t happen in real life though. This happens in the romance novels I am addicted to. Even with my crazy class schedule, and my belief that there is no such thing as a happily ever after, I just can’t fight my addiction to novels full of love and passion. But I need to remind myself that this is not a romance novel. This is real life and this could not be happening.<br /> “Emily, these are my brothers, Shell, but you can call him Matt and D but you can call him Devon.” It’s obvious that they aren’t really brothers but clearly they’re very close.<br /> His deep voice is just as enthralling as his laugh, only sexier. That’s just freaking great!<br /> With a raise of my hand I give them a small smile and a wave. Shell, but you can call him Matt, did the same and Devon reached across the table and shook my hand. “Nice to meet you, Emily.”<br /> “So, now that introductions are finished, can I get you a drink, Emily?” Jonathan asked.<br /> “Nope. I’m fine, thank you.”<br /> “Well, we’re getting your friends here some fresh beers but wanted to wait to see what you might like. Are you sure we can’t get you something?”<br /> Not wanting to be the odd man out I say, “An iced tea would be great, thanks.”<br /> “You sure you don’t want a drink?”<br /> “I’m not much of a drinker, Jonathan, and I’m the DD for the week so an iced tea would be fantastic.”<br /> His reply is to put those dimples to work one more time and he and the guys leave to get the drinks.<br /> “I thought this was a girls trip!” I yell-whisper to the other girls.<br /> “Oh, come on Em, lighten up and have some fun,” Cami lecturesI can tell by the way he’s staring at me that he wants me to play but before I can refuse Sam and Steph come to my rescue and jump up. Thank God! Jonathan starts to open his mouth to say something, but then drops his shoulders with a pout and turns towards the game table. As he walks away he looks over his shoulder with a smile and a wink and then turns back to Sam & Steph.<br /> “Ladies, challenge accepted. Don’t think D and I will go easy on you either. We’re Marines and we always give everything our all.” He says this last bit with his eyes right on me. Why do I get the feeling that last statement had two different meanings?<br /> Matt looks like he doesn’t know what to do with himself as he sits here with just Cami and I. Poor guy. He seems so shy. Cami tries to combat the awkward silence and asks, “So Matt, why does Jonathan call you Shell?”<br /> “My last name is Shellenberg,” he replies.<br /> “So, the three of you are Marines then?”<br /> “Yes, ma’am. The three of us met here in California where we’re stationed at Camp Pendleton. Jonathan’s our Squad Leader, Devon is his right hand and I’m in motors. I do the driving and make sure that our vehicles are functioning and get us where we need to go. We’re on the last week of our two week leave before we take off for nine months in Afghanistan. Jonathan just went home to see his mom in Georgia for a week and Devon was back home in Portland. My parents are coming here to visit in a few days so, I’m hanging with the guys while I can before they get here.”<br /> I look up and see that Jonathan’s watching us. As soon as he sees me notice, he gives me another wink and I just roll my eyes at him. He lets out another one of his amazing laughs and I can’t help but giggle back at him as the warmth from his laughter engulfs me. That laugh and that smile . . . they can really wreak havoc on a girl. He is most certainly Trouble.<br /> I feel the heat rising from my neck and up to my face as I realize what I’ve just said. I wish I could take it right back. Maybe there’s too much noise in here and he didn’t hear me? If only I could be so lucky. Going by the eating grin I see on his face right now, luck is not on my side.<br /> With a raised eyebrow he asks, “So, you like an accent do you?”<br /> “No, I didn’t say that I liked it, I said that I’m sure it helps you in the dating department. Since I don’t date, I wasn’t referring to myself.”<br /> “Oh, so you don’t date, interesting . . .” He assesses me out of the corner of his eye and takes a drink of his Corona. “So, why don’t you date?”<br /> “Just not my thing,” I say with a shrug of my shoulders, wanting to talk about anything other than my dating status or lack thereof. <br /> ...<br /> We’re back at Ole’s again today but this time we’re hanging in the back where the pool tables are. Sam and I are beating the pants off Steph and Cami in the longest game of pool in the history of the game. None of us are any good at this game and we talk in between turns so often we may never finish it.<br /> “So, you are seriously going to stick with your story that nothing happened last night with Jonathan?” Steph says as we lean back against the end of the bar.<br /> “There isn’t anything to tell, Steph. We just talked all night and he was a perfect gentleman. Sorry to disappoint.” I say as I bump her shoulder with mine.<br /> I make my way over to the other side of the table where the cue ball has landed, and just as I do I see a group of guys coming to play at the table next to us. I take my shot, and miss of course, and as I turn around there is a cute guy with red hair and a smirk—that says he’s up to know good—looking me up and down without even trying to hide it. He extends his hand and says, “Hey, I’m Paul. Who are you?”<br /> Even though he says it while looking at me like I am his next meal, that part of me that is always nice to everybody extends her hand and says, “Emily, nice to meet you.”<br /> As soon as I take his hand I see Paul’s eyes trained on something behind me. Before he even reaches me I feel him. Jonathan is here and I feel the smile uncontrollably stretching across my face while the butterflies in my stomach kick it up a notch.<br /> A few seconds later I feel his arm around my shoulder. He pulls me into his side and with a gentle touch to my temple he says, “What’s up, Gracie?”<br /> Oh God, he smells so good. I. Can’t. Breathe. Not only is he touching me but on natural instinct my arm goes around his waist, and we’re holding each other like we’ve done it a hundred times and called me Gracie again. It feels like he’s stepped up his game from last night and he’s staking his claim. I should mind, but I don’t. I want him to stake his claim and I want Paul and every other guy in San Clemente to see it too.<br /> Confused, Paul says, “I thought you said your name was Emily?”<br /> “It is, my friend here just likes to annoy me,” I say and I can feel Jonathan looking at me. I can sense the big grin on his face and can just imagine what those dimples look like right now.<br /> And with that Jonathan starts walking us away from Paul and always the polite person that I am, I turn and say over my shoulder, “It was nice to meet you, Paul. Good luck with your game.”<br /> “I would say, Paul’s game was going pretty well until I arrived.”<br /> “He was creepy. Thanks for the rescue.”<br /> “Anytime, Emily. Anytime.”<br /> ...<br /> We walk out into the ocean air and start our walk to the hotel. While we walk I look straight ahead as Jonathan walks beside me. I know he’s waiting for me to speak.<br /> “What is this?” I ask quietly memorized by the art on his arm.<br /> “This is my family crest. My last name is Kelly. My dad’s side of the family is Irish.”<br /> “It’s beautiful.”<br /> “Thanks.”<br /> He takes my face in his hands and lifts my eyes to his face, and then leans forward and touches my forehead. The heat from the feeling of embarrassment leaves me as a different kind of heat fills my body.<br /> With a lift of his hand he says, “Night ladies,” over my head to Steph and Cami. Then he brings his attention back to me and says, “Night, Gracie.”<br /> It’s now that I notice that Cami and Steph are waiting for me to go inside and Devon is waiting for Jonathan just a few steps away. Once again, everything seems to fade away when he’s around. As I stand there staring at those beautiful lips that just touched my forehead and called me Gracie, he removes them from my view.<br /> He and Devon turn and walk away to head back to Scarlett, leaving me high from this touch and wondering how I will ever get to sleep now? <br /> ...<br /> The text message alert on my phone wakes me and I realize I must have fallen asleep out here on the ocean view deck off of our suite.I look at my phone and stop the panic attack I was about to have when I realize that I still have two hours to get ready. Thank God!<br /> I now have two hours to get ready so I head to the bathroom and start a bath. Taking a nice, hot, relaxing bubble bath is a rare thing when living the college life with roommates. <br /> The water is finally ready and I climb in to the steaming water. I lean back in the tub and think back to my hike with Jonathan and that touch. Just thinking about the moment he finally touched me fills me with a feeling I have never known. I can feel everything again as I relive the moment in my head. A moment that I never wanted to end. His hands, his lips, his tongue and the bulge that I felt pressed into me as he held me against him. I wanted to rub my hands all over his hard body but I was holding on for dear life around his neck, afraid that if I let go and moved at all we might lose our connection. When he did finally stop the touch I felt an instant feeling of loss. I know I’ll never be able to get enough of his touches.<br /> If only we had met in another lifetime . . .<br /> ...<br /> Holding his hand the rest of the hike scares me almost more than the touch. It feels as if he’s claiming me, and as much as I want him to claim me, I also don’t want to lead him on. I’ve been upfront with him and he says he knows it’s just for a week, but I just want to be sure that we stay on the same page.<br /> Along the way there’s another bench and Jonathan veers us towards it, and we both take a seat.<br /> “That was the best decision I have ever made, and I can’t wait to do it again but right now, I need to feed you and make sure you stay hydrated. I only get a week and I don’t want you under nourished or dehydrated. We don’t have time for any of that now, do we?”<br /> “Yes, you did and maybe you’re right. <br /> We sit on our little bench and talk for what seems like forever.<br /> ...<br /> When we get to the hotel he jumps out of the driver’s seat and is around the front of the jeep in a flash to open my door. <br /> At the same time a pitiful whimper comes from me as I feel the loss of his soft lips on mine. <br /> “Let’s do it.” I walk away from him and to the doors of the hotel. “I’ll see you at six o’clock, Georgia. Don’t be late!” I yell over my shoulder to him with a huge smile on my face. The smile I get in return just makes mine grow even larger—if that is even possible!<br /> ...<br /> Waiting for the elevator to arrive I check my reflection in the stainless steel doors in front of me and I must admit I clean up nicely. <br /> The elevator finally arrives and I step inside. <br /> “Hey Gracie, I’m going to . . .”<br /> I interrupt him. “Touch me, Georgia.”<br /> “See you can read my mind too. Now, come here.”<br /> He leans in and our touch starts soft and slow, then his tongue lightly brushes across my lips before he actually touches me. I feel like with each touch I fall deeper and deeper under his spell. Eventually, his weight falls to my side and he’s half laying on me with his leg over me. As he continues to touch me, his hand slips just barley under my tank and the feel of his skin on mine is electric. As his hand goes higher our touch gets more intense and then much to my dismay he pulls away from me.<br /> He climbs over me, stands up and offers me his hand. I can’t help but notice what I was just feeling push into my side is now at eye level and it’s clear I’m not the only one that’s hot and bothered. Once I’m up he pulls a repeat of earlier this afternoon and picks me up so that my legs instantly go around his waist. He carries me to the bedroom with his lips never leaving mine.<br /> “I think this may be more comfortable than that tiny couch,” he says as he pulls the covers back with me still attached to him.<br /> He lays me down horizontally on the bed in the moonlight drenched room while I’m still attached to him. This means he he has to come onto the bed with me, much to my delight. The touch continue at a rapid pace and our breathing is becoming heavy and loud. I want more of him,and pull it over his head. He grabs it and throws it aside.<br /> He’s so hot. He’s built and strong and has just enough hair on his chest to be charming. I can’t help but run my hands all over his chest, over his shoulders and across his back.<br /> “Your turn,” he says but waits a beat while he looks in my eyes to make sure it’s okay.<br /> I lift my arms to signal that I am okay with it and in two seconds my tank is off of me.<br /> “Beautiful,” he whispers as he lays a trail of touch from my jaw, down my neck and to the swell of my breasts. He takes gentle bites at my tiny one through the lace of my red bra, but it’s not enough.<br /> “Please take it off, Jonathan,” I say to let him know I am ready to go further. Just in case he’s still trying to be gentlemanly.<br /> “Yes, ma’am.”<br /> My bra is off just as fast as my tank.<br /> “ Perfect.” He says as he takes one part into his mouth then lets it go and circles his tongue around it before gently taking a little bite of it.<br /> He’s back up to my mouth for just a moment before he leaves and pays the same special attention to breasts.<br /> “I believe in equal treatment in all things,” he says as he rejoins our lips.<br /> “Good to know,” I mumble.<br /> He scoots off of me and then stands on the side of the bed and gently tugs me by the legs and scoots me to the edge. He starts to unbutton my jeans but stops and says, “If you want to stop that’s okay, just tell me.”<br /> “Jonathan, please don’t stop. I want this.”	LEARN_MORE	https://a.read4funs.com/ad/ZmFuY3lOb3ZlbC8xNjM4NDA	136560499545717	ForFun-105	https://facebook.com/61552095643555	36	1	1,586,607,205,214,269	2024-04-28 02:00	person_profile	eligible	NONE	0	1	0	Learn more	ForFun-105	120207946637680019	a.read4funs.com	NONE	video		https://a.read4funs.com/ad/ZmFuY3lOb3ZlbC8xNjM4NDAvMjAyNDA0MjYxNTA5NDkvcGFnZQ==?adid={{ad.id}}	2024-04-26 03:47	https://scontent-sjc3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/438255193_293326593816563_3894339250346180497_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=107&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=jbqIyomi6EcAb4EfWHp&_nc_ht=scontent-sjc3-1.xx&oh=00_AfDzRTQaa3QWXJrRQJf1lyVzeX0QuW1VYCKch9BIg8PLjg&oe=6634AAC7	person_profile	0	ForFun-105	https://scontent-sjc3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/438302527_437721642188413_612781465575423265_n.jpg?_nc_cat=101&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=dBiMeWJMbq4Ab4jAeEp&_nc_ht=scontent-sjc3-1.xx&oh=00_AfCLssmsMSF37wLpntsF2I5YrXaE5WqXUBVPt_9oY_GDtg&oe=66348C24	0	3	ForFun-105	2024-04-28 02:00	View Edit Delete

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. Then in a week, you will have a mating ceremony with someone more on your level, his brother, Garrett Hunter."<br /> Garrett? Garrett Hunter?? The disfigured, rejected brother of Matthew? How could they force me to reject my fated mate and then mate to his ruthless brother?!<br /> ————————<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 /> --<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! 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 and her sister having intercourse.<br /> The anxiety attacks, the waves of pain were Matthew having intercourse with 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 /> 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?!" 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 /> --<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. "Do you accept?"<br /> There were gasps and murmurs from the audience, as no female in history has willingly rejected their mate. It was such a scandalous affair as both sets of parents wanted to keep it hushed that Matthew had been cheating, which was partly why the rejection ceremony was happening. <br /> Lily wasn't having any of it. They wanted to embarrass her publicly, so she wanted everyone to know the truth.<br /> "I... Matthew Hunter, the first-born son of Kenneth Hunter...accept your rejection," Matthew managed to say. As soon as the words left his mouth, he could feel their mate bond fully snap. Baldur howled in anguish within him as his bond with Dina snapped away even though he refused to accept the rejection. <br /> Lily fought the urge to collapse there on the stage. She welcomed the pain, embraced it as this was nothing compared to the anguish she felt over the betrayal. "I wish Matthew and Brandy well with their upcoming mating ceremony," Lily finally said. She turned to leave but was stopped by Brandy's grip on her wrist. <br /> "We accept your blessings dear sister. We hope to see you at our mating ceremony as I won't be able to go through with it if you aren't there by my side," Brandy said with a smug smile, wanting to see Lily lose her composure. <br /> Lily resisted the urge to scream at Brandy and punch her in the face. She kept her face calm and relaxed despite an eye twitch. Lily pulled her wrist free before grabbing her hand with her bloodied hand. <br /> Lily looked deep into Brandy's eyes trying to convey the hatred and anger she felt for her through her eyes. It didn't go unnoticed that Brandy stepped back due to the intensity of Lily's gaze. "Of course, Brandy. I wouldn't miss it for the world," Lily answered before removing her hand from hers. With another curtsy, Lily left the entertainment hall. She didn't collapse into tears until she reached her bedroom.<br /> "Dad! You can't be serious!" Lily exclaimed as she was dragged down the hallway by her father. <br /> After the rejection ceremony, Lily stayed in her room to mourn the loss of her mating bond for two days. She prayed and begged the Moon Goddess for forgiveness. Lily never wanted to do this, but she didn't have a choice. She couldn't be tied to an unfaithful mate for the rest of her life. <br /> On the second night, her father, Kenneth, kicked the door in to drag her out. Because Garrett didn't attend the rejection ceremony, Kenneth was bent on Lily being bonded to Garrett immediately. <br /> After receiving a phone call that Garrett was back from a business trip and was staying at the Blueberry Suites, Kenneth knew that he had to get Lily to him. He forced her to go to the pack doctor to have every test done to show that she was still pure and genetically tested to show she had no defects before getting her ready to go to the hotel. <br /> "You shut up!" Kenneth exclaimed. "Do you know how your little stunt made us seem to the other packs?"<br /> "You look powerful and smart, right? That's what you wanted!" Lily snapped back and Kenneth slapped her. <br /> "You embarrassed us! You wore your wedding dress. You were supposed to be the regretful mate, not an over zealous harlot!" Kenneth raged. <br /> "Harlot? I'm the harlot? Of course, you wouldn't talk bad about your dear daughter Brandy," Lily retorted. <br /> Kenneth slapped her again and Lily growled in warning at him. "Don't you dare! You're not stupid. You should have known better. No Alpha will want an Omega. Because of your antics, Brandy can't even use your dress. By ensuring your bond to Garrett, Alpha Jack promises to pay for everything," Kenneth retorted. <br /> "What about what I want? You got what you wanted! Brandy will be Matthew's Luna! Why must you do this to me? You could disown me. You could expel me from the pack!" Lily asked as she was brought to a door. She should've taken her friend up on her offer to go out of state with her for the holidays. Perhaps she would've been able to avoid all of this.<br /> "You made your decisions and I have made mine. Maybe if you hadn't tried to keep your money from me, this wouldn't be happening. Your little stunt didn't work," Kenneth sneered. <br /> "No! That money doesn't belong to you! I worked so hard..." <br /> "You have no say! You only received privileges because you are my daughter. You hold no value. You are a tool and nothing else. The quicker you understand that, the better off you'll be!" Kenneth snapped, cutting Lily off. He pried the jacket off his daughter, revealing her attire: a silky white camisole. "Hopefully, he'll teach you how to behave and know your place in the world."<br /> For the first time in her life, she wanted to physically harm her father. Lily wanted to shift and maul her father, but she was still too weak from the broken mate bond. She was helpless as Kenneth opened the door to the room and shoved her inside, causing her to fall hard on her butt. Her father slammed the door in her face, locking it behind him. <br /> Lily beat on the door when she realized she couldn't open it. 'Calm down Lily. Let's see if there is another way we can get out,' Dina said. Lily nodded and began to explore the room.<br /> The room was decorated with honey hues, for they gave a sense of home away from home, of a place of nurturing safety. However, Lily didn't feel safe at all. She felt like her whole world had been turned upside down. <br /> Tonight was her engagement night as her father explained it. It was more like she was being offered up on a silver platter to a predator.<br /> When she realized the windows were locked and couldn't break them, Lily quickly turned the lights off and sat down on the bed. The room was now pitch black and eerily quiet. The only sound that could be heard was the fan that was hiding Lily's rapid breathing. Lily lay stiffly on the bed, feeling like her body was under a spell. She was unable to move. <br /> Lily heard the door opening, and light entered the room, blinding her for a moment. She closed her eyes in fright, afraid of what would happen next.
