Esther M.의 작품

Slowly, I turn back.He's standing there, with two of his betas and one gamma. His claws are drawn; as long as my entire forearm.Those green eyes are devoid of all emotion.Cold.Immediately, I fall to my knees and beg. "L-liam it's not what you think. Li-"A quick slash makes me swallow my words. In the blink of an eye, Liam was in front of me and I was bleeding from a spot on my neck."It's Alpha to you, slut," he says. I'm horrified beyond words. He could have killed me just then.He can kill me...His eyes are fierce with madness and his lips are curved in a snarl. This does not resemble the man who would passionately kiss me when he wanted to.He does not even resemble the one who would ignore me like I did not have any meaning.The man in front of me now is a beast. A bloodthirsty beast."Seize them and take them in for questioning." He tells his men, not taking his eyes off mine."Please Liam! Allow me to explain!" My mate doesn't seem to listen to me. He grabs my neck in a

Two weeks after the encounter with my mate, I'm regretting it.All over the pack property, I'm being pointed and sneered at. Not just because of the incident with the warriors but for something else.My stupid public sex with Liam."She's despicable.""Desperate to take Luna Tina's place.""I wonder what the elders are saying concerning this whore.""Alpha Liam is being too generous to a common rogue."All sorts of venomous curses had been thrown my way. There was nothing I had not heard since that day. The worst part- this was only the starting.It took a lot of work for wolves to conceive for the very first time. First pups were the hardest.It would be exceptionally harder for me with a weakened wolf.Bottom line: we had to do this multiple times. And so that's what we did. It didn't matter where I was or what I was doing. As long as my mate wanted a fuck, he would send for me and get one. It even got to the point where I now stay in the main pack house.This word spread quickly a

For a moment, Liam is frozen; as though surprised. But I pry his lips apart, feel his tongue slowly respond. My heart is racing; I'm covering up for the pain I feel. He would never love me and that was alright.I would never love a pack wolf either. I roughly kiss his lips until he starts to take charge. Liam grabs my hair and pulls it with force. I cry out into his mouth and he grins, taking a lip between his teeth.His hands begin to rummage through my body and soon, I'm tingling all over. My hairs are all standing; goosebumps cover my skin. Liam trails his lips from my lips to my cheek. His breath is hot compared to the cool breeze of the night."You fucking perfect thing," he curses into my ear, making sure to tease with his tongue. I let out a slight moan, grabbing his tensing muscles.He goes from my ear to my neck, sucking and kissing as he goes. My lower belly is on fire, I can hardly think straight."Liam...""Shh." I barely register the fact that we are out in the open,

Liam kept his promise.I don't know why it makes me happy but it does. Instantly, the disgust I feel on my skin eases up. It's like the encounter never happened.Like I've been washed off clean. The pack wolves are mad though. Some are crying and cursing."All for a whore! Our Alpha has failed us for a common, useless whore!""She deserves to die! I don't care if I lose my life, I'll kill her!""Down with the whore!"The crowd is becoming increasingly dangerous. I tuck my head to my chest and begin to retreat to the pack house.I run through the crowd but before I can get to the pack house, I hear Alpha Liam's voice boom loudly."Silence!" His voice carries such authority that I have to stop in my tracks. I turn slowly, see him stand on a platform wth his five betas and seven gammas.He's too far away for me to make out his expression but I know he's holding a firm face. "These three are perfect examples of what will happen if a property of mine is touched. Rogue or not. It is the s

When I wake up, I'm on the floor in a huge room.The main packhouse.The place smells of lavender."You're awake." It's a soft, female voice. But for some reason, the voice sends chills all over my body. Some of my wounds have healed; the deeper ones from the claw strikes have not.Every single part of my body burns.Someone comes to stand above me; it's the proposed princess."Gwen, is it?" She signals for someone to get me up. One muscular guard comes over and pulls my naked body up so I stand.I have to support myself on a nearby wall.The proposed mate swirls a glass of wine before looking at me. Her eyes are as golden as her hair. She puts on a delicate smile."My name is Tina. The Alpha's soon to be Luna."These words cut a bit into my skin but I try to hide how much it hurts. Tina tilts her head back and gulps down the wine. "As much as I'd have loved to see my mate's plaything die like an animal, I couldn't. He needs you to give us an heir, doesn't he?"Huh...She knew? I act

Liam immediately pulls away from me and I dip myself deeper to hide my nakedness."I'll be right there," he says. "It's urgent Liam. They...it's concerning this slave girl."My body instantly goes numb. Slave girl. Liam nods and swims back to shore, leaving me in the middle of the low current river. He doesn't look back once, strutting away butt naked with his beta.Just perfect. What did I think?I sigh and swim forward as well. My clothes are in ruins but I make do, wrapping the fabric over me. Shivering, I find my way out of the forest. I'm lucky not to have gotten lost. Immediately I exit the thick cluster of canopies, my eyes fall to the spot where I had lain, helpless. I grit my teeth.I hope they rot in hell. I rub my arms to warm up and run down back to the minor pack house. It must be nine PM but the halls are filled with whispering omegas and ordinaries.The moment I step into the house, those who see me go silent.Every one of them is staring at me. There are varying

Alpha Grey's POV The only good thing about it is that it's only a minor breakdown.It passes almost as quickly as it comes, but only after all my men have looked upon me in my vulnerability and weakness, asking each other questions. A number of them rush towards me, their frames standing over me as they try to help me back on my feet. However I refuse them, raising myself up on the tip of my sword pushed into the ground. Even my powers feel weaker now, and far less potent."I'm fine," I wave my hand to all who have their eyes on me, standing up on my feet for all of them to see. However, they continue to watch me with worried looks on their faces, which only serves to enrage me.They pity me.They are all watching me in my weak moment."I SAY I AM FINE!" I bark at them, wanting to see any other reaction than the worrisome creases on their foreheads. "GO AWAY. ALL OF YOU. GO BACK TO YOUR DUTIES."The soldiers start to disperse, and I turn away from them, walking up to my bedchamber t

Alpha Grey's POVI can say I have everything I want. When you started out as a worthless Omega and somehow have everything change so much that you rule over one of the biggest kingdoms of the world, and everyone elsewhere thinks you are a god, there is little else to want.But there is only one thing...My power has a limit.I dread the advent of the Blood Moon, and how it makes me weak at the very moment other werewolves become stronger. My attempts to fight the weakness have only met dead ends so far, and word of it has somehow gotten out, though it remains a rumour. What I know is that cowards exist, and one of them is going to be lucky enough to test this rumour.As the Night of the Blood Moon approaches, I feel the effects. My body does not feel the way it should-it even makes me feel sick-and I would gladly exchange it with another werewolf just to not be weak. It makes me vulnerable-brings me down to my knees, and makes me an ordinary Omega again. Wine seems to be my only anti

He was still asleep when I left early the next morning.What gave me the nerve to go was the realisation that he didn't even know that the woman in the room with him was not Karen. How would he know that he was even in the room with somebody before going to bed?I return to the harem-to the condemnation of solitude that Alpha Grey has imposed on women for his pleasure- and the moment I walk in, all eyes turn in my direction. It does not help that many of them follow me so much that I feel them watching my back as I walk through the spaces in the room.My bed- unattended for two nights and left alone- is the only thing waiting to welcome me and I sit on it, pulling the cover over myself. No one says a word to me, and I say nothing to no one until Dara comes to talk to me."Gemma... where have you been?" She asks, sitting on the edge of my bed.I sit up to talk to her, grateful to have someone who I can speak with, at least to take my mind off Alpha Grey's theatrics. So I sit up and tal

His sister comes to see me as she promised.And she encourages me to rest, and follow her brother's orders.He doesn't return for the whole of the day, and leaving his room without saying goodbye and thanking him for his care feels disrespectful, so I remain inside, waiting for him to arrive. When at last, the heavy footfalls that signify his advent reach my ears, I sit up on the edge of the bed, alert. He throws open the door, and I stand up to greet him when the sight that meets my eyes instantly keeps me quiet.There is a woman with him, familiar, and one I've seen somewhere.She has half her clothes off, and the love bites on her neck and right above her breasts are red and fresh. I immediately turn around at the sight, feeling second-hand embarrassment and to my chagrin, a bit of envy."Are you still here?" He asks, his words slurring.It instantly occurs to me.He's drunk.For the first time since I first saw him, he doesn't give off the aura of a king-powerful and intriguing. R

His voice rings in my ears, and while everything is fading into oblivion, I can still see him, although as though I'm looking through a blurry lens. He has two of his fingers pointed towards his face, and I can see that he's in a panic.A voice, one I can vaguely recognise as mine, is speaking:"I can't breathe."I truly can't breathe...My chest feels heavy, and this feeling makes breathing a chore for me.All of a sudden, his hands grab my head, and he puts his lips to mine and breathes down my mouth, only stopping to inhale and then do it again. This helps me start to breathe again, and when everything becomes steady again, he picks me up and moves me to his bed."Gemma? Are you listening?"I nod weakly, still struggling to breathe even though it feels easier than before. "You're going to be fine. I think you have bled all of his venom out. Your wound has stopped bleeding..."I watch as he holds up my bandage-now soaked in blood, and his bloodied sword-which I find strange. "Go t

Before I can figure out what is going on, five soldiers rush at me, forming a circle around me and holding weapons, their torches burning brightly."Where do you think you are going?" Their leader asks, a big man with one eye. The eye stares at me as if it can look past my skin and into the inner parts of my body.My heart thumps wildly within my chest, and I raise my hands in surrender. "I was only walking around, and I decided to take this path."The man with the one eye stares around at his men, who exchange glances with him. Then he turns to look at me again.I wonder if I can make it if I decide to fight them, bring their leader down and kill the rest, and this feels like an incredibly horrible idea. They are soldiers who outnumber me and who will be difficult to force an escape past. "Do you not know the law of this kingdom?" The one-eyed soldier asks me."What law? I have only been here for a few days.""Everybody knows that no one is allowed to walk the King's Way in Suro Kin
