CHAPTER 1

2256 Words
LUCAS In my 22 years of existence, there’s already a lot of things that happened to me.  First, I was abandoned as soon as I was born like a useless trash in the middle of the winter. Second, at the age of 16, my old best friend, Daniel started to hate me and started to bully me. Third and at 18, my long time partner, Zicky, did not happen to be my mate, and the one chosen was Daniel. He treated me coldly so we decided to reject each other, but the bond hasn't disappeared yet though and I don’t know why! My sad fate didn’t end there too.  Just two months ago, my friend Tania betrayed the pack and stabbed me to death. She even died in the war which I still haven’t gotten over with. Tania must be carrying too much troubles and I wasn’t able to play my role as her friend. Those were the worst, but it wasn’t over yet because two months from this day... “Hey, watch your step.”  “Don’t worry, I’ve been here-“ My Mate and his Fiancee are getting married. Daniel Cromwell, the only son of the ex-Alpha, and Lady Clarissa, a human and his bride-to-be, looked at me as soon as they entered the garden where I’m currently watering the plants.  My chest immediately clenched from the sight of them, but I already mastered how to pretend not to care. I worked hard to control myself since I don’t have the rights to feel jealous, simply because I am no one. Even if he was supposed to be mine and I was supposed to be his. I still don’t have a place in his life to prove him that. “Good morning Master Daniel and Lady Clarissa.” I greeted as I bow my head.  “Good morning.” My eyes turned towards the human. Everything in her screams fake and I don’t know how come the young Master can’t see the real face of this girl. She’s really beautiful with long black hair and deep, huge, blue eyes. Her skin was porcelain like a doll’s and to be honest she does look like one with that full bangs of her. Sometimes she reminds me of a horror character too hahaha! How rude of me. “Why are you here?” My eyes stormed to meet the cold and disgusted eyes of my very own Mate. He looked displeased from the sight of me as always.  Even from those disgusted glares aiming at me, I still can’t stop admiring how beautiful his mismatched eyes were. The right one holds the color of fresh leaves while the left one was grey with a smaller pupil because it was blind.  The previous Luna had an accident while carrying him in her womb resulting for a lifetime damage. And these eyes were the causes of his ill-fated life... My hand tightens its hold on the hose I’m holding as I think of an answer from his questions. “I-I was told to water the plants and the visitors will soon arrive-“ “Mateless members were told not to leave their rooms while the visitors are here, didn’t you hear that?” He glared at me and I stiffened. “I did Young master, i-it just happened I wasn’t mateless.” I tried to explain myself, but it only made him more angry. He took steps forward until he’s in front of me, making sure to dig holes in my face with his mismatched eyes. Please don’t hurt me… I almost begged but nothing came out. “Daniel.” The girl tried, but the man mentioned was so mad right now for some reason. As always of course, I don’t understand- “Leave.” His cold and stern voice sent shivers on me and I swear my whole body froze. I wasn’t able to say anything and ran inside the mansion, away from my mate and his fiancee. My eyes watered up from the rude treatment he’s giving me ever since we turned 16 years old. Before that, Daniel and I were really close. He always tags me along no matter where he goes. Believe me when I said that we were really, really close. Even if he was an Alpha and I was labelled an Omega in the pack due to my different appearance.  No one in the pack looks like me. I’m too pale for my own good. I’m smaller than most guys; and my hair and my eyes were crimson red. Some say I looked weird and maybe that’s one of the reasons why Daniel hates me now. He was never this mean, and half of me wants to believe he’ll return back the way he was before. I stopped in the middle of the hallway with these thoughts. But when? To be honest, I really thought everything would change starting from that night. When I woke up between his arms and him calling out my name so desperately… My eyes closed from the memories. I remembered so clearly how dry my throat was that night, but when I called his name he immediately burst into tears in front of me. His arms around me were never that gentle before too… Was it because his wolf was in control and he thought he lost me? Because it was too impossible for Daniel to cry for me. Anyway, it was just amazing how our body merged into one that night. It was as if he knew where to touch even though it was our first time having each others’ company. It could never be compared to anyone… Even from Zicky... Zicky, my boyfriend since we were 16, is an awesome person. He’s even the Beta of our pack and he’s doing really great. Although that role made him really busy these days and his missions were sometimes outside the nation too. And now I’m guilty from cheating on the only person who accepted me after my Mate rejected me. “Lucas, you stupid little red potato.” I scolded myself as I walked back to the lobby to find something else to do and keep my mind busy. Most of the servants were told to stay in their room for some reasons and their work was left to those who were allowed to, just like me. That’s why I’m very busy today. And I have never been this busy except when there’s a celebration… “Just why does it have to be now.“  ‘Mateless members were told not to leave their rooms while the visitors were here, didn’t you hear that?’ You’re my mate have you forgotten? And if only I have a choice I’ll stay in my room my entire life since that girl is here to stay.  Or I should just leave- My eyes widened when a great scent suddenly filled the air. I covered my nose immediately but it was futile. Whoa… I closed my eyes as I breathed in. What an awesome scent and it's so damn close! Probably an Alpha male searching for a mate or probably someone playing around, but- My chest tightens, loving how it affects me from the inside. And without realizing my heat came. I let out a shaky breath as I inhaled deeply to gather more of this scent. Damn... Everything suddenly felt warm and I bit my lower lip as I shivered from the electricity running in me. My feet started dragging me to where the scent is coming without any hesitation. Even though I know that I should be running away. I can’t stop myself. This scent of his makes me want him to mark me.  Whoever this man is, even if he’s not my Mate. I want him. My pace started to get faster and I could feel him getting closer as well. His scent is unbelievable! Is it even legal for him to walk around with that strong scent?! I’m losing it so fast too- “Lucas!” My feet immediately stopped moving forward from the sound of my Mate’s voice. I turned around to look at him in shock and soon, fear came after. Well, who wouldn’t? His eyes were burning in anger and I wasn’t even doing anything wrong!  I soon noticed how heavy his breathes were. Don’t tell me he ran after me as soon as he sensed my heat? Ohh… My face softened for him. Were you worried Master? I almost smirked, but I remembered that I can’t die yet. Not today so- “Get over here.” He said, using his left hand to push his blond hair back, showing how gorgeous those mismatched eyes of his. Even though he’s glaring at me so hard, how can I compliment the enemy? Oh Lucas… “Get your ass here, Lucas.” He repeated and from the tone of his voice, he was not patient to wait. The scent came to me once again and I unconsciously glanced on my back, rudely forgetting my mate. This scent is very alluring. It’s like calling me desperately, but why, I wonder? Is it normal for a mated wolf like me to get attracted by another Alpha male? But is it too late to ask now? “Lucas!” Daniel shouted when I decided to run and meet the owner of this scent.  I need to meet him or at least know how he looks and that his scent smells really, really great! Even though it’ll be dangerous to meet him while I’m in heat- I just can’t stop myself! A group of unfamiliar men came into view in the hallway as soon as I turned to the corner. Jake was leading them on my way and I immediately froze on my spot when I finally saw the culprit.  Yes! I cheered when I saw him. A younger male, standing all mighty in the middle, had the most amazing smile on his face as he nodded all along to whatever Jake was telling him. My chest clenched from the awesome sight of him. He’s probably around eighteen, but wow. Can his face do justice to this dull place? His grey hair was messed in a great way. Those bright yellow eyes of his and light up my world haha- No I mean it. He seems familiar too, but who cares? His scent was obviously calling me and who am I to decline. ‘Jump him Lucas.’ I told myself and I nodded immediately, but before I could even get a step forward. A hand wrapped itself on my stomach and lifted me over his broad shoulder. I was struck for a moment before I realized what's happening. Daniel carried me without a single word, as far as he could in a very uncomfortable way. His strong arms treated me as a priceless baggage until we reached his own room.  “W-wait!” He threw me on the floor and I hit it really hard. I looked up at him in annoyance, but it weakened immediately when he fixed his deadly glares at me. I stiffened. “You dare to throw yourself in front of that man while you are in heat?!” He asked, his tone was deadly and I stiffened. “You wanted a man that badly?” How mean. And how about you? Didn’t you bring that woman here to flaunt her at me too? Zicky is out for another mission, how can I fight back? “Was it my fault?” I asked as I met his eyes. Showing him how badly he hurts me with his words, but it didn’t affect him at all. “Was it my fault that my body wants an Alpha and to be owned by him? you saw him, didn’t you Young Master?” I pushed myself up, before clenching my fist. “Can you blame me if I offer myself to him and let him have his way?” Something flashed in his eyes. My words weren’t smart and it seems like I’m only asking for a beating, but it's his fault. “Now, please let me go-“ My whole body stiffened in fear when he grabbed my face all of the sudden. He roughly pulled my face closer to him and I couldn’t move at all from the fear he’s giving me. “You’ve grown some balls now huh?” He asked with a creepy smirk on his face as he leaned closer to me. “You even have the guts to get heat towards another man in front of me?” He chuckled and I stiffened more. Sweats started to build from my forehead and palms. His eyes were full of everything deadly and I bit my lower lip in regret. I shouldn’t have… “I-I’m sorry.” I mumbled but it was too late now. His hand on my face slowly went to my neck after. He held the delicate part of me gently, but it could not subside the fear at all. “M-Master I should go, please forgive me-“ “On the bed.” He whispered in my ear and my eyes widened. I backed away from him and stared straight to his mismatched eyes in surprise. “Wait- I-I can’t-“ “Lucas.” He called out as cold as ever and I clenched my fist. “On the bed.” He repeated and I can’t understand why.  Until now, we only did it once and that was when I almost lost my life. After that he never touched again. No one even knows about it, and we never shared a word about it as well. It is like that night never happened at all. So why now? But it's useless trying to figure it out… His finger tilted my chin up and he leaned in without any warning. “Behave yourself from now on, Lucas. Do not try to step in his line of sight ever again.” He breathed on my lips while staring deep in my eyes. “The pack will be in danger if I kill that man, so do me a favor.” I gulped at the same time I closed my eyes before his dry lips caught mine. You say that as if you care when you never did. Now, my plans of holding everything in and to pretend that I don’t have any feelings for you since we turned 18 are slowly weakening… What should I do?
