Shunned By An Alpha, Cherised By A Lycan

Chapter 12:

“Does that mean she loves us?” Ace’s tiny voice crept into my head.

“Don’t overthink,” I snapped back. My body tensed, and Ace stilled when her soft hands wrapped around my neck.

Was she drunk? What was she doing? Several thoughts popped into my head. She didn’t reek of alcohol, so there was no way.

My eyes narrowed at the group of friends I had seen her with; their stares were expectant and directed at us. Then it dawned on me—they had put her up to this.

“What are you doing?” I whispered, hoping she’d fill me in on what was going on. But damn, she played feisty.

“Just watch, Ryder!” Her soft voice sent a fire through me, and her response was sealed with a kiss.noveldrama

Damn! She was teasing me. Her lips tasted divine; I didn’t want her to stop. The sweet taste of strawberry flavor sent Ace flying—our favorite flavor.

“You’re mine!” Ace growled. The moment she pulled back, I pulled her back into my hold. I didn’t want to stop, not for a single moment. Not until that jerk made us spring apart.

How dare he? After making her go through hell, and still depriving us of this special moment?

I wanted to smash his face, start a fight, and beat him to a pulp. I had to remain calm. It wasn’t my pack, and I’d be accused of attacking an Alpha’s son in an enemy pack.

But then, he sounded as though he owned her, and Ace was furious. Fuck! Despite the consequences, I wanted to punch him across the face and tell him to stay away from her.

But then, she was standing by him, and she finally agreed to go with him. Ace was disappointed that she chose him over us. I watched, equally disappointed, as she walked outside.

I swear by the moon goddess, I was going to have her!

Night came with different thoughts of her still stuck in my head. Was she doing fine? Even Ace couldn’t rest. He snuck up to her room at night, and there she was, sleeping so soundly. And just then, my heart suddenly felt at ease.

The next morning, I was invited for breakfast by the Luna. Of course, I would have rejected, but I seized the opportunity because I wanted to see her. I couldn’t keep my eyes away from her when she suddenly appeared. Heaven knows that if I don’t leave this pack with her, I’ll never be the same.

The peace treaty! The thought suddenly struck me, and I knew I had to take the chance. She would be mine, finally.

“There’s no way we’re handing her over to him!” Jason’s voice was loud, almost a yell. This was a fight about giving me away for the treaty. My life was hanging in the balance, and it could change in an instant. I couldn’t believe what was happening.

“We have no choice, Jason.” Dad’s voice was just as angry. “The Moonpack is stronger than us, led by a ferocious Lycan. Do you think we stand a chance if they wage war? We’ll be crushed.”

Mom opened her arms, inviting me into a hug. We were upstairs in my room while Dad and Jason argued downstairs.

“I’m so sorry this has to happen, my little baby,” Mom whispered, her voice breaking.

I wasn’t shaken. Deep down, I knew he’d claimed me, though I wasn’t sure if I wanted it. The deal he proposed, the dare—it made everything worse.

I sighed, running my hands through my hair. “It’s fine, Mama,” I said, trying to comfort her.

She pulled back, staring at me intensely. “Do you love him?”

My face flushed red. “What? No, of course not!” I replied quickly, though uncertainty lingered in my heart. Could it be true?
