CHAPTER 1
Celestial moon pack.
REVENGE.
LISA.
Tears gathered at the brim of my eyelids as I slowly parted my lips in surprise, the thin lines of my brows jumping up in shock as my hands which were trembling, slowly left the door knob."A-ale-Alexander" I stuttered in disbelief, my voice coming out as a whisper as I walked in deeper into the room. They probably heard the sound of my footsteps and immediately stopped what they were doing.I watched as my boyfriend/mate hurriedly got off my foster sister, Jessica, trying to source for his clothes, while Jessica, just rolled her eyes, no look of remorse, as she grabbed the bedspread to use in covering herself."Can't you see we were busy?" She snapped, scowling at me, and rage boiled in me as I let out a growl, jumping on the bed next to her and giving her a resounding slap that echoed across the room."You w***e!". I cursed, grabbing her by her hair as she let out a shriek, her hand on her stinging cheeks, as her grey irises grew wide."Alex, Alex, she is hurting me". She screamed out for my mate while trying to get my hands off her hair, but that only made me more furious, so I gripped it tighter, refusing to let go and wishing to pull it out of her skull when I suddenly felt someone grab me by my hand and yanked me off the bed roughly.It was Alexander and out of shock, as I let out a gasp, my hands leaving her hair, I fell to the ground, hitting my head heavily. Pain shot through me, and I grimaced, feeling too weak to stand up, as dizziness shot through me, but I could hear him gathering her into his arms, consoling her as she wept."Shush, it's alright, I am here. She can't hurt you again". He whispered, but instead of that w***e keeping mute, she kept on crying, and I snorted, knowing it was fake and she was just trying to earn pity from him.But at the same time, pain shot through my heart; it was like it was being ripped off as I stood up from the ground gently and witnessed his grey orbs feasting on her lovingly, his huge hands stroking her hair lovingly.Jessica, on the other hand, noticed me looking and the side of her lips, curled up into a grin as she nudged closer into Alexander's embrace, who accepted her and even proceeded to peck her forehead, in my presence, not caring I was there."What is going on?" I demanded, clenching my hands into fists, and at my question, Alexander turned to face me, fury running through his orbs as he gritted his teeth against one another."You wench! You almost hurt her". He snarled, baring his teeth at me. I reared backward from amusement, my eyes widening.'Did he just call me a wench?' I pondered, shaking my head sideways and finding it hard to believe. Perhaps he thought it was someone else."Alexander, it's me". I told him, hoping it was as I thought, but Jessica just scoffed while Alexander kept throwing me death glares."And did I say I was blind to not know it's you?".I just stood there, unable to say anything, lots of emotions going through me, most especially pain."W -w -what are you doing with her?" I asked and it was his turn to snort."And what does it look like, Lisa?". He asked, calling out my name sternly. Once again, tears rushed to the brim of my eyes, but I blinked them back, refusing to look weak."W-why?". I found myself asking again, knowing I looked stupid, for Alexander just arched his eyebrows at me before rolling his eyes, his face wrinkling in disgust as he turned to look away from me unto her again."Don't act all pathetic here. You claimed to be of high nobility when you are just a f*****g orphan and low-life". He yelled, getting off the bed, fury running through his eyes as he came towards me...I started breathing heavily, my palms growing sweaty as I gulped down the saliva gathering in my mouth as I moved backward, knowing there was only one person who could have told him, and I was right.My eyes caught hers sparkling with a mischievous glint as she smirked, giving me a wink that made me wrinkle my nose at her in irritation.'How dare she?' I pondered, wanting to pounce on her again, but the sharp, piercing look Alexander directed at me made all thoughts of that disappear as I gulped down my saliva again." I don't want you anymore Lisa. You are way below me. I can't even believe you had the guts to lie to me and not let me know you are an adopted omega ". He yelled, his hands suddenly leaving Jessica, getting off the bed and moving towards me.My brow furrowed, pain etched on my forehead as I tried moving backward, as he towered over me, gritting his teeth against one another fiercely.He moved so close to me, pressing me against the wall and raising his fists as if to hit me, and I shut my eyes, awaiting the impact. My tears finally dropped as my heart crushed, but instead, I felt him slam his hands into the wall beside me, causing me to flinch, my legs buckling as I let out a sigh of relief before collapsing to the ground, breathing heavily and flipping open my ears."Why didn't you tell me?" He questioned, almost calmly, but I knew it was otherwise because it was obvious with the way veins bulged out of his arm and forehead he was raging."You never asked". I responded, and there was silence for a few minutes, the air around us softening; I almost had hope that everything would be fine when he suddenly grabbed me by my arm, his sharp nails piercing into my skin and drawing blood.I hissed, my face scrunching into pain, brows furrowing when he turned to look at Jessica, who was clinging the blanket tightly to her body, her lower lips in her mouth."Get dressed". He ordered, not even waiting for her reaction or answer before leading me out of the room aggressively, not sparing me a glance either.'Where was he going to and Where was he taking me?' I pondered, confused, but felt my heart beating fast, the feeling of dread growing in me, and I knew something bad was about to happen..."A-alexander," I tried calling him again when he growled loudly, his eyes turning red."Shut the f**k up, peasant". Hearing him call me made me take my face to the ground, and my shoulders slumped; feeling defeated as I could feel my world crumbling and shattering, leaving just dust.Just then he dragged me outside to the crowd, who were all in attendance for my birthday. Yes, it was my birthday. Today, I would clock 21 years old and probably get engaged, but unfortunately, Jessica had to ruin it.Why does she take pleasure in doing evil to me, when I have just been nothing but good to her?"What is going on, why is crown prince, Alex, dragging his mate that way?""What did Lisa do again this time?". Countless whispers and murmurs were going on as Alexander kept on dragging me through the crowd till we got to the podium.I tried struggling for him to release me, but his grip tightened as he refused to let me go. Beads of sweat start to gather on my forehead as nervousness clouds me.Just then, Jessica joined us, fully dressed and beaming widely."I, crown prince, Alexander, reject this lady here, Ariel, as my mate and future Luna." He announced, and I felt my leg wobbling as I collapsed to the floor with a loud thud, erupting gasps from everyone .....
