Damien's POV I scanned the letter and saw that the handwriting didn't quite tally. Moving into her room, everything was intact leading me to believe that she was taken. Coming out of the house, I shut the door and sniffed the air as the lingering Zeta's scent wafted into my nostrils. She must be around the area. I thought. I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply, her scent called me, and I walked according to its directions. I had almost walked a mile distance without anyone in sight. I sighed deeply as I continued my journey. I had crossed the expanse of my land when her scent got stronger but it was mixed with a metallic scent. Blood! Looking to the left, I saw a hidden shack, just before crossing to the next pack. It was in No Man's Land. A free pack where shady dealings go on. The predominant inhabitants were rogues and some evil wolves. I called Daniel to come quickly as a backup. " Bring some vehicles along," I ordered. Pulling out my gun from my back pocket, I rush in. No on
Epilogue " Mom, Daddy says you should hurry up, he cannot wait to see you." A cute-looking Adrien smiled proudly at me. " You look beautiful." He said.I hugged him, "Thank you. You also look dapper." " I guess that means I look handsome too." He said as his brows creased in confusion. "Yes. You are so smart. Tell your dad I'll be down in a minute." I replied with a prouder smile. Adrien was growing so well. He was smart and resourceful and everything I hoped for. "Yes, Mom." Then he fished into his breast pocket, and brought out a gold necklace, " Dad told me to give you this." He said while handing it over to me.My eyes were misted with tears when I saw the inscription on the locket. " You are my forever, no one can separate us." " Why are you crying, Mom? Are you sad?" Adrien asked in a concerned tone."These are happy tears." I shook my head, he must have confused my happiness for sadness. Adrien cocked his head, and scanned my face for a few minutes before moving away, "
Prologue:I sat by the corner of my window, staring down at the street. Today has been hectic for me, running here and there to find all means to get money for my dad's treatment and still, today wasn't a fruitful one for me.Mom on the other hand, had phoned her siblings for help, but they all kept saying the same words… "The economy has really affected us."I almost shedded tears, but then I figured out that crying won't solve the problem, so I had to pick up the bargain. Sleeping with the Alpha king to give him a heir.Not like I really wanted it, but I had no choice. The money involved wasn't a pocket money, it can solve almost all our problems and there will still be a remaining for the months ahead. I knew selling off my pride wasn't the best option, but in such a case as mine, you're left with no choice.Choice seem not to matter any more.I told my mom, expecting a negative reaction, but in tears, she told me to go with whatever decision I have made.And my decision is to take
Zeta's POV(7 Months Later)Since the day Alpha Damien discovered I was pregnant, he hasn't stopped checking on me. He'd show up in my room like twenty times in a day. I didn't bother asking why, rather I would silently ask myself. I noticed he never treats others the same way he treated me, he was giving me more attention than he was giving to them. I don't know why but, I was wondering if there's some thing special about me that they don't have. Or could my own baby be so special and I don't know?I also noticed how eager the Luna was to get close to me. Seeing how the Alpha cherished me, she must have presumed I was going to give him the best. She'd come to my room, or most times she'd invite me to her room, serving me with the best dish. She was acting all super nice Luna with no bad attitude. I could have fallen into her goodness if not for her maid who told me she wasn't as calm as she seems. She also told me that the Luna was only acting nice to me because of the child I was
Zeta's POVI've been sitting my ass in my room for hours, I wanted to get some air. I told my maid to escort me down to the garden. While on our way to the garden, one of the concubines stood before me. Her face wore an angry look, like she had caught me stealing from her pot or some thing. "Good morning." I greeted with a bow."I don't need your greetings, bitch." I acted not to be shocked at her reaction. "Look here, young lady, I don't know what charm you used to cage His majesty to yourself, but whatever it is, I'm gonna tell you some thing, it won't work.""I'm sorry, I don't understand why you're telling me this."She eyed me. "Don't act like you don't understand a shit, you know what I am talking about! This child isn't meant for you, it's meant for us; the queen and my fellow concubine. But you, you just deserve to remain the same poor wretched teenager you are."I was hurt by her words. She didn't even care how it sounded leaving her mouth, she spat it all on me. The second
Zeta's POVI couldn't hold myself from screaming as the baby pushed it's way out of my thighs. Thankfully, my mother was quick to make it to the hospital, she held my hands as I pushed harder. "It's gonna be alright," she assured me.I couldn't say a word to her, the pain I was feeling at the moment was hell of a blast. My hole was burning like a blaze of fire, and the baby wasn't doing any justice to me. It was taking time for it to scream it's way out of my body."Can't this be a little faster?!" I screamed."That depends on how hard you push." Replied a nurse. "Just get this thing out of me!" I yelled."Calm down, hun, take it easy. You have to put in a little effort to let it go out." I squeezed her hands, breathing in as much air as my lungs could hold. I exhaled it all out in a scream, and then, the entire room was filled with the tears of my baby."Finally." I gasped."Yeah, babe, you did it.""Congratulations, Miss Jones, you have a baby boy."I chuckled, looking at my mothe
Zeta's POV"Your father has stage three bone cancer." Doctor Nick announced." Oh my god!" My mom gasped, and her hands flew to her mouth immediately." He needs to be operated upon as soon as possible. The treatment costs $300,000" Doctor Nick announced.* I'm sorry about this Mrs Jones." He shook his head sadly.My mother burst into tears. My father was laying unconsciously on the hospital bed. "Oh my god!" My mother gasped. Her hand flew to her mouth. We were doomed. There was no way we could raise that money in the space of five years talk less of in seven months time. Delay in treatment would automatically lead to his death." You can get the scan results down the hall." He told me.My mother sobbed bitterly. " I can't lose him." She cried bitterly. I rubbed her back, as my heat was filled with grief. He was hooked to many machines, lying helplessly. We could never had known that the constant nausea, constipation, and weight loss he complained of was a symptom of somethi
Zeta's POVDad was discharged, and I watched him try to enjoy himself with the rest of the family.When I told him I'd be leaving, he felt very sad. "If I could, I would stop you from going." He whispered into my ear, and I nodded."Yes, Dad. Don't go anywhere." I warned him. He must not die before I get the money."Yes, my love. I promise, I won't." He replied.I took my bag and hailed a cab to Alpha Damien's house.I was directed to his address. Apparently, almost everyone knew where it was situated except me.It was situated in the best part of town. Flowers adorned the tarred road. Are they real? I wondered.As the cab approached the house, it was as if I had stepped into an alternate universe. The lawn was well trimmed.A fountain made from a sculpture of a warrior gives out its water at the right time. It was very beautiful to watch.Well, he wasn't an alpha for nothing. I thought as the cab finally stopped in front of a magnificent house. In fact, it was a mansion.I didn't kno

A hard crack of palm connected with Zeta's cheek making her jump wide awake in fright. Her vision blurred as she slowly regained consciousness. She was shocked to see herself in cuffs and an unfamiliar house. She saw Belinda's annoying face and groaned as she remembered how she was taken._Three hours later after Damien left, the doorbell rang and Zeta rushed to the front door, and opened it instantly. It was eerily quiet except for the slight whooshing from the early evening breeze and the soft rustling of leaves in the garden. Her maid was also nowhere in sight. She stepped outside with the thought that Damien was probably playing a prank on her which was her mistake. After standing for two minutes, she turned to go into the house when she heard an unusual rustling of leaves. This time, it sounded like someone was crushing dried leaves. The hair on her nape rose, and her skin broke out in goosebumps.__She turned and a plank was delivered to her head, causing her to go out like lig
Zeta was busy tending to the garden when a nurse came to inform her that Damien was around. She ran straight to the house and jumped into his arms. He grunted before twirling her around. " You told me that you weren't going to come!" She said in an accusing tone and he smiled. " I wanted to surprise you." He whispered into her ear. Zeta beamed from ear to ear as she stared at Damien, it was surreal to her that he was here in the flesh. Although they spoke for long hours on the phone, it didn't stop the longing that she felt.Tears rolled down her eyes, and Damien wiped it away." You don't need to cry, I'm here now." He patted her head." I know, I'm just happy to see you." The feeling was mutual." Me too. Let's go inside." Damien said." Look at the time. I'm such a bad host." Zeta exclaimed." It's fine," Damien replied. Their conversation spanned from afternoon till evening, as they had a lot to talk about. "What would you like to eat? I can make some pasta for you." Zeta sho
Zeta blinked slowly as she became conscious. The door opened Immediately, and a nurse walked in with a tray in her hand." Good morning, Luna Belinda. It's nice to see you awake." She greeted her with a pleasant smile. " Good morning, please where am I?" She inquired as she scanned the room. It was painted white. The door opened again, and Alpha Paul walked in. " Good morning, Zeta." He greeted her with a friendly smile on his face."Good morning, Alpha Paul." She replied in a hoarse tone, relieved to see a familiar face. The nurse rushed to her bedside and poured her a glass of water and she took a quick sip."How are you feeling?" He replied when he saw the curious look on her face. "Better, I guess." She replied and groaned while attempting to sit upright. " Easy there." Alpha Paul advised. The nurse assisted her to sit upright. "Thank you," Zeta whispered. " You're welcome, ma'am." The nurse replied and excused them at Paul's nod." Where is this place?" She inquired. " Al
Soon, it became a rowdy Alpha Damien's heart skipped at that statement, but he saw the determination on their faces, he knew that they couldn't be persuaded. They continued chanting loudly. He thought long and hard about what to say. One wrong statement, and he was at risk of rebellion. He wore an unreadable expression and shrugged nonchalantly. He raised an arm, and the pack fell silent. " Nobody is above the law, she went into this with her eyes open." Belinda's eyes narrowed suspiciously at the statement. Damien sighed, " As much as I do not want to do this I am still having a hard time wrapping my head around it. She has to be put to death." The crowd roared and high-fived one another in excitement. Damien felt somber but maintained a calm composure. He raised an arm again and they kept quiet. "That will be all for today, you can return to your homes. Have a good night's rest." He said and waited till they all left before rushing down to the cell.The high-pitched rattle o
Zeta dodged behind a large tent that was used for her celebration. Axel moved forward, and she held her breath when she heard his approaching footsteps. The pitter-patter of her heart increased to banging against her ribcage in apprehension. She hoped that she was not caught. Who knows what would be done to her? Axel stopped and Belinda gave him a fearful look. If this conversation got leaked to the public, she would certainly be punished.Axel raised his nose and sniffed the air. He noticed a scent coming from the tent.He pointed to where Zeta was hiding, and trod there stealthily, careful not to make a sound. After ten minutes, Zeta's leg began to cramp up, and she decided to check out what was happening on the other side. She raised her head slowly and screamed when she saw Axel pointing a gun at her." Rise." He ordered and she obeyed quickly. Her eyes scanned the garden to see if anyone would come to her rescue. Sadly, there was no guard in sight.Axel grinned as if he could r
" When will I be getting my payment?" Alpha Scott inquired." Can you not see that the plan didn't work?" Belinda replied. " The agreement was that I get my gold after the fiasco." " How was I supposed to know that he will not kick her out? Maybe if you were believable enough, then we will have no need for this quarrel." Belinda spat.Scott raised his brows in confusion, " Now this is my fault? A man decided to forgive his wife, maybe it's your plans that need reevaluation." He said.Belinda sighed, "I don't want to fight with you, Scott." " Then pay me what you owe me, very simple." He replied. " I will, I just need to figure out something." Belinda sighed." I want my gold delivered in a month." Alpha Scott replied and hung up.Belinda paced in her room, as she tried to come up with a stronger plan. If she didn't pay these people, they would expose her and this means annihilation.She scrolled through her phone and discovered a number. Axel; the leader of the rogues. She dialed
" Do not tell me that you believe this fallacy he is saying." Zeta pointed to the Alpha Scott." Well, now that It's all in the open, What do you have to say Alpha?" Scott replied.Zeta was frantic with worry at the expression on Damien's face, she hoped that he didn't believe this man. "What if I tell you that she is not going with you, what will you do?" Alpha Damien challenged, his head was messed up by the information but he stopped himself from acting irrationally." I will not go without her. Like I told these people, I am not here to kill anyone, I came here on her orders, I have proof." He said." Show me the proof," Damien demanded. Scott smirked, " I hope your fragile heart can take it." He whistled and someone brought a phone, "Listen to this." He played a call recording. " I am tired of being a Luna, sometimes I just wish I can run away from this place. Especially with Damien being so burdensome, he is creeping me out. They expect me to be a perfect Luna almost immediat
