LUCY
I had always thought of what it would be like when I finally met my mate, I had the perfect scenario played out in my head but our meeting turned out to be totally different from how I imagined it to be.
Who would have thought I would meet my mate in such an awkward situation? My home was being attacked by our rivals from the hallowed manes pack, a pack I hated the most. I was taken aback as the pheromones of my mate filled the air, how could my mate be found amid this chaos? That wasn’t the issue right now, I needed to find him before he gets hurt. I was happy that I finally got to meet him, with a smile on my face I followed his scent till I got to the open field where he was.
I stood and watched as he slew other rogues like me with his sword, he fought with vigor and his movement was swift. I moved closer to know who he was, lo and behold, it was the newly coronated alpha of the hallowed manes pack, Chris Parker, my sworn enemy and an enemy to my family, my smile turned into a big frown.
Why would the moon goddess choose the enemy of my family as my mate? what would I have done to deserve such grave punishment from the goddess? The sight of him disgusted me, I was filled with rage and hatred and felt the urge to end his life at this instant. There was no way I would have a future with him, the thought of it sent chills down my spine. I drew out my sword and charged towards him hoping to strike him down before he noticed but he was faster than I thought, with his sword, he blocked my sword from piercing his skin, and my sword slipped from my hand while his sword was placed on my neck ready to slit my throat.
EARLIER ON
I was half asleep when I heard footsteps approaching my hut, it was quite early and I wasn’t expecting anyone. I picked up my blade and hid at the back of the door as the intruder walked into my hut, I grabbed the intruder from behind and almost stabbed him but the intruder yelled,
“Hey!, Lucy, it's me.” the voice was familiar so I quickly dropped the blade and took a few steps back
“Nathan! Are you crazy? Why did you sneak in like that? I almost killed you right now” I yelled at him.
“Easy tigress, why are you so hostile this morning? Anyways, Maverick wants to see everyone, he says it's urgent” he said to me before leaving my hut. Nathan and I were a bit close, his father was the leader of our little rogue pack.
I wonder what Maverick wanted to talk about that was so important and couldn’t wait till later in the day. I rushed out of my hut and made my way to the open field, I met others waiting as well, I asked one of them why we were gathered there but he gave no response, he probably had no idea why we were summoned here or he knew and was just acting like a stupid snobbish punk.
Maverick finally joined us alongside Nathan’s father, Cade Holcroft, our leader. We all bowed to them as they stood in front of us. Maverick turned to look at Cade who nodded in return. He took a step forward and announced,
“Information reaching us says that the hallowed manes pack will be coronating their new Alpha in a few days, as we all know, they are enemies to us and what do we do to our enemies!”
“We destroy!!” everyone yelled
“So brace yourself, everyone, we are going to launch an attack after the coronation and take possession of the city,” he said. I raised my hand to speak
“What is it this time Lucy?” he asked with a frown on his face. I and Maverick never got along, he was a thorn in my flesh.
“Why do we have to wait till after the coronation when we can attack the coronation day?” I suggested.
“Why don’t you lead us then since you seem to have a perfect idea? We attack after the coronation day and there is nothing you can do about it Lucy” he said angrily
