***Astrid***"Ophelia. Where is she? You were the last person with her." I asked Sasha.She looked terrified, with tears streaming continuously down her face."I...we all went outside, and she was suddenly pulled away by a wolf. It snapped her neck and dragged her further into the forest. That's when we ran back inside." Sasha explained.Dread settled deep in my gut. Ophelia can't be dead, can she?"What did you heartless creatures do to my friend?" I screamed, unable to control myself.Ophelia didn't deserve this, to be dragged and eaten to pieces by the very people she served all her life."Behave yourself! The Alpha is here." A soldier warned, gesturing behind me.I turned around, and my eyes locked on his, staring at me, his expression unreadable. Suddenly, an intense feeling of rage consumed me, and it felt like I was no longer in possession of my body.I slowly walked towards him, until we were merely inches from eachother."What did we do to you?" I asked. "What do you detest u

Chapter 8***Astrid***The next morning, I woke up by the door. I must have slept off, after crying my eyes out last night. I stared out the only window in my room. The sun was already rising, casting a dim orange glow as it seeped into my room.Slowly, last night's events flooded into my mind. The Alpha is my mate. The almighty Alpha of Crescent wood, whom everyone feared, is my mate. I found that very hard to believe. Who'd believe that an Alpha is mated to a slave? And a human at that. Whatever happened last night must have been my hallucination. And if I recall correctly, he rejected me, threatened to kill me, and literally almost did. It's best that I stay very far out of his way, if I needed to survive. Though staying away from him is going to be near impossible, since he decided to make me his personal cleaning maid.Thankfully, the sun was still rising, meaning I still had time to prepare. Even though my body strongly disagreed with me, I got up, quickly washed my body and h

Lukas's eyes widened in shock, and I relished in the way he sauntered back in fear and submission. No one dared challenge the Alpha to a duel, unless they want to face a very drastic end. “Nobody lays a hand on any human unless they have a justified reason to do so. This meeting is over” I barked out and left the meeting room. Thanks to Lukas, my mood has changed. But he was right. My mother abandoned me as a child and took off with her human lover, leaving me with the little memory I had of her. And the human whom she had sacrificed family for is the same man who caused her death. My blood with rage, as the sight of her lifeless body flashed in my mind. But Lukas was wrong about one thing. I will revenge her death, just not in the normal way. I will ensure that humans are wiped from history, and they cease to exist. They will pay for what was done to my mother. I sighed in frustration. I needed to take a run in the forest and breathe in the cool forest air. As I neared my ch

The Alpha stood there, dressed in a white and gold royal apparel that fitted his huge frame perfectly. He was by every inch very attractive. Afraid of being caught ogling the Alpha, I stared down quickly, my hands slightly fidgeting. I was suddenly nervous, and I wasn't sure if it was because of the Alpha's intimidating presence or something else. A desire.After what seemed like an eternity of endless staring, he suddenly walked forward, taking slow steady steps towards me. My heart increased in rhythm and hammered against my rib cage. Astrid! Calm down! I told myself.But how could I when the Alpha of Crescent moon pack stood mere inches from me, so close that his cologne invaded my senses and made me light headed. I slowly looked up at him. From the way his Adam's apple slightly bobbed up and down, to his defined jaw that seemed too perfect to be real, to his full lips, oh, those lips! I wanted so badly to press them against mine, to feel their softness. I gulped slightly. Looking

**Astrid** I woke up with a gasp. My heart is pounding from the weird dream I had. The dream didn't make any sense, the only thing I remembered was seeing a blue eyed wolf. Slowly, last night's events came rushing back into my mind and I began to adjust to my surroundings. I stared around me in confusion. Sunlight sneaked in from the open window, making me squint my eyes. I recognised the old dressing mirror immediately. I was in my room in the slave quarters. How did I get back here? I began to panic. Was I caught? Am I still dreaming? I immediately pinched myself, and the stinging pain that came after, told me otherwise. I got down from the old mattress I owned and stared at the mirror and my eyes widened in shock. I still had on the clothes I stole and put on. And it's torn appearance and the dirt stains evident on it, told me that last night wasn't a dream at all. It very much happened. I checked my thigh, but there was no sign of an injury. Strange, I thought. The fabric was t

**Atlas**I watched from my seat as men and women swayed and danced to the music. I didn't miss the way young females glided past me, sending seductive glances and putting their womanly parts on full display. On any other day, I would take one or two to my chamber and give them what they wanted, but tonight, none of it enticed me. Infact, I was repulsed by it all. Frustration welled up inside me as I wondered why I came out in the first place. I mind linked Kyle, my second in command, that I was leaving. Then I stood up and maneuvered through the crowd and out of the palace.Stepping under the moonlight, it brought me a feeling of peace and serenity. But then a wave of sadness washed over me. It was all useless. I felt stupid for hoping. I couldn't find her all these years. Tonight isn't any different. I felt the all familiar feeling of rage slowly build up at my chest. I needed to breathe or I'll explode. I shifted to my wolf and sprinted into the forest, with the full moon as my onl
