Kailey’s POV
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck! I cussed as I dashed into the bathroom, panting as I did. How could this happen? Why was the moon goddess always fucking me up? I gripped my hair, scattering the neat bun I had worked tirelessly to perfect. I stared at my reflection in the mirror. My face was red, and my makeup was smeared due to sweat and constant rubbing. What was I going to do now? My wolf whimpered as I paced anxiously. She wanted her mate, but I wish it were that easy. “Shit!” I whispered, annoyed by how much my wolf whined. “He is off limits, damn it!” That man was Ezekiel Bread. Future Alpha of the Blackwood Pack. My pack. Despite that, my wolf refused to listen. Repeatedly, she howled for her mate in my head, clawing at my mind and fighting for control—one I wouldn't give. Suddenly, the door opened, and I snapped my head to the door. I frozen, taking a step back as my heart pounded. What is he doing here? My breath grew frantic, and his powerful scent hit me. My mouth watered as the smell of cider and sandalwood wafted to my nose, sending my wolf in heat. My breath hitched as I took in the godlike figure of my mate standing before me in awe. His raven hair was packed up in a man's bun, his dark orbs staring deeply at me like a predator would its prey. He strode slowly towards me, which made me back up. A smirk played on his lips. “Running from me, mate?” My back hit the wall, causing me to halt. With his hands at my sides, he caged me in. My heart thumped as his face grew closer to mine. His hot breath fell on my face as he spoke. “I like the chase.” Turning my head to the side, I tried avoiding his touch, which he noticed. He took a strand of my hair, twirling it between his fingers and bringing it to his nose. “Hm, you smell like apples and sweets.” I shuddered, staring into his eyes. His dark orbs twirled with a vibrant golden hue, his wolf present. “What's your name, mate?” He breathed, bringing his face to hover above mine. Our noses touched, and I let out a gasp as a spark lit by the sheer contact. “Fuck!” He cussed, gritting his teeth, his muscles twitching under his shirt. My wolf did a flip, a strange feeling of satisfaction washing over me. Growing bold, I leaned in, making the distance between us almost non-existent. “What's wrong?” I asked with a sly smirk. His eyes flickered to my lips, and a vein popped on his neck. “You are playing with fire, mate.” “Who knows?” I breathlessly answered. “I might just like playing fire.” With that, he crashed his lips onto mine, shoving his tongue into my mouth as he battled for dominance. My heart thumped loudly in my chest as we kissed, my wolf howling in joy. I moaned, letting his tongue sweep me clean. A growl rumbled through his chest as he gripped my waist, hoisting me to his hip without stopping. My pussycle clenched as a pool formed in my core. Oh, the moon goddess. Fuck! I breathed heavily; a silver string of saliva caught between us as we parted. His eyes lingered on the thread, watching it break, before kissing me once more. Spittle dripped from the sides of our lips as we exchanged fluids passionately. He gripped my ass, grinding himself on my pussycat, and I let out another moan. “Ngh.” “Hello?” A knock from outside startled us. I froze, whipping my head to the door. It was locked, thank goodness. “Hello? Is anyone there?” The person knocked again. “I need to pee.” Ezekiel rested his head in the crook of my neck, his heavy breath tickling me and sending zaps through my body. My nipples hardened, and he chuckled. His huge palms grazed my breast, lightly fondling with it. “Aren't you going to answer?” I whimpered, knowing he was talking about the knocks that fell persistently on the door. I blushed, clearing my throat to speak, when he placed a kiss on my neck. “Eeek!” I screamed, quickly covering my mouth with my hands. “Are you alright?” The lady at the door asked worriedly, causing my face to go bright red. Letting out a chuckle, he said while kissing and fondling with my boob. “Tell her to go away.” I shivered, goosebumps appearing on my skin, his gaze falling on me. “Can you use the next one? I'll take a while.” I stuttered. “You should have said that at the beginning!” The person huffed in annoyance before leaving. “Now, that wasn't so hard, was it?” He smirked and I pouted. How could he tease me when someone could hear us? He brought his finger to my nose. “Don't pout, my love; I won't tease you anymore.” I humped, turning my head to the side. “Alright.” He chortled, suddenly bringing me off the wall. “Let's continue.” “Wait,” I shrieked, gripping his muscular shoulders. “Where are you taking me?” Like I had asked the most stupid question, he raised a brow without stopping. “My room." His room? My eyes widened, and I hurriedly tapped him, flapping my arms. “wait! Put me down; someone will see.” "So?" No, no, no, no! I can't let anybody see us! I tightened my legs, squeezing his waist. “Put me down! Please!” My heart thumped loudly in my ribcage, and since he was so close, he heard it. He stopped, his eyes falling on my face. “Alright.” He said, “But on one condition.” “What's that?” I tilted my head nervously. “Your name.” He paused, “Tell me your name.” “Oh,” I mumbled, biting my lip. “It's…” should I tell him? I hesitated, but the look in his eyes told me he would carry me out. So I shook those thoughts out of my head. “My name is Kailey.” “Kailey.” He repeated, testing the name on his lips, his boyish smirk returning. “You have a beautiful name.” Oh gosh, I never knew my name was this beautiful! “Thank you.” I bashfully replied as he dropped me to the ground. Watching me tuck my hair behind my ear, he graciously led the way out, making me nervous once more. My heart pounded as we weaved past the crowd, the snagging question in my mind rearing its head. What if we get caught? Would Ezekiel be disgusted once he finds out I am an omega? But he should know, right? So why wasn't he saying anything about it? Walking behind him, Ezekiel led me toward a passage that was connected to a room. Once inside, he blocked the exit, and I stared at the room in awe, the scent of my mate filling my nostrils. I walked towards the bed, pushing the material, only for me to reel at the softness. “It's huge!” I giggled, taking my hands back. His room had a red and dark theme, and above his bed, there was a framed picture of him in a suit. My eyes darted around the room, only to land on him. He was standing by the side of the door, hands folded and with a smirk. I blushed. Oh moon goddess, I wish the ground would swallow me. How can I act like a country bumpkin in front of him? Shaking his head, he walked to me. “I believe I brought you here for a purpose.” Blinking innocently at him, I said, “Oh? And what's that?” He growled, grabbing my head. “This.” Before he crashed his lips on mine. Moving my lips to match his ferociousness, I dug my palms under his shirt, letting out a moan as his muscles tensed under my touch. He snarled, lifting me off the ground and onto the bed. “You'll pay for that.” He smiled, ripping his shirt. His hands found their way back to my body, lighting fire with every touch. In an instant, my clothes were torn from my body, leaving me with nothing but my pants. Blushing, I covered my boobs, but he pinned my arms above my head with one arm. “Don't cover them. They are mine.” My core tightened at the sheer dominance his voice held, and I breathlessly replied. “Yes, alpha.” His eyes glinted at the tease, causing me to swallow, but my wolf and I squealed in excitement. With caution thrown into the air, Ezekiel took off his remaining attire—his trousers and briefs—in one swell move. His penis bounced after being released from its confines, and I stared in admiration. The next was mine, and being naked before my mate, I grew conscious. I tried closing my legs, but Ezekiel prevented that. “You are beautiful.” He whispered into my ear, kissing my cheeks, eyes, and nose. Slowly, he moved downwards, his gaze locking with mine. His tongue darted out, and he flicked my vulva with it. I gasped, “Wait!” Ezekiel‘s tongue pressed into my pussy, and my stomach tightened. I gripped his hair, pushing his face deeper as he ate me, sinful moans escaping my lips as my eyes rolled to the back. “I am going to cum!” I warned, trying to push him off, but he didn't budge. When I couldn't hold it any longer, I squirted onto his face. Ezekiel brought my cum to his lips, licking it, “You taste just as I imagined.” I blushed, turning my head to avert his gaze, his proud member requiring attention. I stared in horror, going pale. It won't fit! Seeing the look on my face, Ezekiel gripped my ankle, yanking me back. “I promise I'll be gentle.” “Promise?” I whimpered, “It's my first time.” He kissed me on my forehead, looking gently at me. “I promise. I'll prepare you.” Without hesitation, he brought his finger to my core, poking his finger in, and I frowned at the foreign intrusion. “Relax, it's just a finger.” He spoke, soothing me with a kiss. After a while, I got used to that, and he added another. Pain seeped through me, but beneath it was a sinking pleasure that tried to erupt. Soon, my moans filled the room, and the familiar tightening in my abdomen followed. I let out a heavy breath as I closed my eyes from my high. Ezekiel's boring eyes on me as he aligned our sexes. Giving him my assurance, Ezekiel slowly entered me, and I scrunched my nose, tears falling from my eyes. It hurts like a bitch! Kissing my tears away, Ezekiel's face stopped before he moved. I felt blood tickle down my lap, and I knew my cherry was popped. Finally, Ezekiel kissed me once more before he resumed. Pleasure rose from the pits of my core, my head rolling to the back of my head as I moaned out his name. Ezekiel growled, picking up the pace as we both drove to our high with his brute thrusts. His cannies grazed my neck, and I shuddered. His fangs sank into my neck and I screamed, feeling a threadlike rope that connected our wolves. “I am going to cum.” I let out, digging my fingers into his back. “Together,” he growled, and with one last thrust, I felt a hot liquid pour into my stomach as I cummed. “You did well, my love,” Ezekiel panted, kissing me softly on the lips. I smiled, looking at my reflection in those dark orbs of his. This was my mate. The one who was going to love me, and I could tell. I am so happy right now, I could go hopping around on the mountain. As we gazed into each other's eyes, lost in a sea of love, an angry yell broke us apart. “What is the meaning of this?!”Kailey’s POVEzekiel’s eyes snapped to the door, his body stiffening as a growl rumbled deep in his chest. I turned to look, my stomach sinking when I saw who had entered.Alpha Mark stood in the doorway, his expression thunderous, his black eyes blazing with uncontained fury. His presence filled the room, oppressive and commanding, and even though I wasn’t directly in his line of sight yet, I felt the weight of his anger settle heavily on my chest.“What is the meaning of this?!” he roared, his voice cutting through the air like a blade.My heart jumped, and my wolf whimpered inside me, retreating into the back of my mind. Instinctively, I yanked the blanket up to cover myself, as if it could somehow shield me from the storm that had just blown into the room.Ezekiel didn’t budge, standing protectively in front of me like a stone wall, his eyes locked on his father.“Father,” Ezekiel said, his tone calm but laced with an edge. “You’re intruding.”“Intruding?” Mark snapped, his voice drippi
Ezekiel’s POVMy father’s words echoed in the room, the weight of them pressing down on my chest like an iron hand. For a moment, I thought I’d misheard him.“You heard me,” he said, his voice cold and unrelenting. His eyes bore into mine, daring me to challenge him. “Sever the bond. Now.”I looked over my shoulder at Kailey. Her face was pale, her eyes wide with fear, and her breathing shallow. The bond between us quivered, a fragile thread strained to its limit under the pressure of my father’s command. Her vulnerability struck me like a blow to the gut, but it only strengthened my resolve.“Father,” I said, my voice trembling as I fought to keep my anger in check, “you don’t understand what you’re asking.”“Oh, I understand perfectly,” he snapped, his words cutting through the air like a whip. “You’re the future Alpha of this pack, Ezekiel, and I won’t have you tied to an omega who will only bring us shame.”His words ignited a fire in my chest. My fists clenched at my sides, nails digg
Ezekiel’s POVI clenched my fists, forcing myself to focus as the bond began to fray. The connection between us, once so powerful, started to weaken. It felt like my chest was being torn apart, my very essence unraveling with every second that passed.Kailey collapsed onto the bed, clutching at her chest as if trying to hold onto the bond herself. Her cries were raw and broken, and they shattered what little resolve I had left. But it was too late to stop now.A searing pain shot through me as the final thread of the bond snapped. My wolf let out a mournful howl, the sound echoing in my mind as the connection between Kailey and me disappeared entirely.Kailey’s scream pierced the air, her body convulsing as the pain of the severed bond wracked through her. I rushed to her side, but the moment I reached for her, she flinched away from me, her wide, tear-filled eyes filled with a mixture of agony and betrayal.“Don’t touch me,” she choked out, her voice barely above a whisper.“Kailey...” My
Kailey’s POVI could barely stand as the guards dragged me down the hallway. My legs felt like jelly, my heart pounding so hard I thought it might burst. My breaths came in ragged gasps, each one laced with the bitterness of betrayal. Ezekiel’s face haunted my mind—his uncertainty, the anguish in his eyes as he stepped aside and let them take me.He didn’t fight for me.I had no strength to fight back as they pulled me along. I was too broken, too lost. My thoughts spiraled into a pit of despair, replaying the events that had led me here.I regretted it all. Meeting him in that restroom, letting him into my life, believing his promises—it all felt like a cruel joke now. If I had known the pain that would follow, I would have turned the other way, ignored his advances, and stayed in my quiet, uneventful life. But instead, I let him in, and now I was paying for it with everything I had.I glanced back at him one last time as they dragged me away. He didn’t follow. He didn’t call out to stop
Kailey’s POVThe darkness of the room had become my constant companion, pressing in on me from every side. It had been two weeks now—two weeks of isolation, two weeks of torment. I sat huddled in the corner, my body a shadow of what it once was. My arms were thin, frail. The skin clung to my bones, and I could see the sharp angles of my ribs whenever I glanced down. Hunger gnawed at my stomach, a relentless ache that never eased.Every day, the guards would bring a small portion of food—if it could even be called that. It looked like scraps, leftovers from someone else's meal. The taste was as awful as the sight of it, but I had no choice. I ate it, every bit, forcing it down just to survive.I had grown so weak that even the effort of chewing felt exhausting. My arms trembled whenever I moved, and my legs felt like they could give out at any moment. My reflection, if I had been able to see it, would have been unrecognizable.I shivered as the memory of a few days ago played in my mind,
Kailey’s POVA sudden splash of icy water shocked me awake. My body jerked violently, the freezing cold biting into my skin. My thin clothes clung to me, soaked and useless against the chill.“Wake up, slut!” a guard bellowed, his voice harsh and dripping with contempt.I gasped, blinking rapidly as I tried to process what was happening. The cold water dripped down my face, my hair plastered to my skin.“Get up!” he yelled again, kicking at the chains near my feet.“I—I’m awake,” I stuttered, struggling to push myself up. My body was stiff, my muscles weak from weeks of neglect.“Awake, are you?” He sneered. “Doesn’t look like it. You think this is some kind of luxury inn where you can sleep all day?”“No, I—” I started to say, but his sharp glare silenced me.“Shut up!” He barked, grabbing my arm roughly and yanking me to my feet. I stumbled, the chains around my wrists and ankles clanging loudly.“What did I do?” I whispered, my voice trembling.“You’re breathing, that’s what,” he snapped. “
Kailey’s POV"Order!" the sentinel’s voice boomed, I stood there trembling, my legs barely holding me up. The weight of the chains on my wrists and ankles was nothing compared to the crushing fear inside me. Every little movement made the chains clink softly, the sound echoing in the silence of the massive courtroom. I felt the cold bite of the metal digging into my skin, but that was nothing compared to the burning stares of the people around me.The dress I wore hung loose on my body. It was plain and worn, but it was the cleanest thing I had worn in days. It covered most of the bruises scattered across my arms and legs, but no dress could hide the fear radiating off me.Before me, sitting on a high platform, was Alpha Mark. His presence was like a storm cloud, heavy and dark. His cold, unyielding expression felt like it could slice through me, but it was his eyes that terrified me the most. They burned with a fury that made my blood run cold. If he could, I was sure he would leap fro
Kailey’s POVI sat on the cold stone floor of the cell, my knees pulled up to my chest. My chains rattled every time I moved. Tears streamed down my face as I thought about everything that had happened.The trial was delayed. That was something, at least. A small sliver of hope. Maybe, just maybe, there would be a miracle. Maybe I wouldn’t be executed.But as the moments dragged on, my mind spiraled. Memories flooded in—memories I had tried so hard to bury.Kyle.His face surfaced first, along with the sharp pain of betrayal. My ex. The one I had given everything to. The one who had looked me in the eyes and told me I was his world. And yet, he had turned around and marked someone else.“Kailey, you’re just an omega,” he had said that day, his voice cold and dismissive. “I can’t be tied to someone like you. I have to think about my future.”We had been together for years. Years of laughter, dreams, and promises. And in the end, none of it had mattered. He had chosen another. He had marked h
James pov. My mind was still occupied with the thought of how the rogues managed to get past the guards and into the pack house. A large frown appeared on my face as I inched deeper into the hallway. The pack soldiers had held their ground well, fending off the never ending wave of rogues, so how then were those two able to get into the pack house?.Seeing those two earlier only confirmed my fear, there were more of them inside the pack house, and these few must have not been in the sea of rogues who attacked the pack house. They must have snuck in through a secret passageway, there was no way they had done this themselves, it was clear that they had help from someone, someone inside the pack house. I gritted my teeth, my eyes sharp as I took in my surroundings. I wonder who it was, the one who had aided the rogues.Suddenly my mind went to Cecilia, I haven't heard or seen her since the beginning of the battle, where the hell has she been. Oh I just hope She has no hand in thisI
JAMES’ POV. My wounds were completely healed and free from the poison, thanks to the Antidote, I was already back to full strength.My mind was still occupied with the thought of whether Auren was alright or not, it pained me so much that he was taken right in front of me, while I wasn't looking. I felt a tug in my heart as I advanced further, I had tried so hard not to show the pain I felt in front of Lydia, assuring her that I would find Auren, I was certain he was still inside the pack house, that was the hope I was holding on to. I knew something was wrong the moment I stepped into the hallway. The air felt off, too still, too quiet.Even with the fighting outside, the whole place was still very much silent which was off. The pack house was never silent, especially not with the fighting happening outside. My boots thudded lightly on the polished wooden floor as I moved deeper inside, every sense alert at this point. Whoever took Auren must have not gone far. Suddenly, I hear
Kailey’s POV.I stood there captivated by the blood red flowers, they seemed unreal, scary and mysterious. Their red color reminded me of something.Blood. I continued walking, taking more steps and as I did, more and more flowers appeared in the groove. The scent in the air was more on this side, a sweet tang which also had a sweet taste to it, I wasn't sure how but somehow I could taste the sweetness in the air.What are these?. I couldn't help but wonder what the flowers were, the forest had shown me a lot of supernatural things which were white right now I was fully on my guard, I wouldn't let my guard down for now reason.Suddenly there was a whistle in the air, I paused, trying to figure out where the whistling was coming from but it felt like it was everywhere.My heart slowly began to pound in my chest, I took a deep breath and tried to focus on where the sound was coming from.My eyes widened as I noticed that the whistling was coming from the flowers,the blood red flowers
Kailey's pov. My closed eyelids were suddenly engulfed by a sudden brightness, I twitched, my fist clenching and then suddenly my eyelids went wide open. At first I was blinded by the early morning sun which hung high in the sky, I blinked multiple times to adjust my sight. What happened?. The hardness behind me made me realize I was lying on something. I tilted my head to the side and with my back crushing the dried leaves, I noticed I was lying on the ground.I slowly pushed myself up to a sitting position, a sharp pain radiated from my head earning a low painful groan from my lips forcing me to grab my head with both hands.I took a deep breath and decided to take in my surroundings, that was when I realized I was still in the forest. I grinded my teeth together, it was morning already, I must have passed out the previous night, from all the running escaping the mind games the first was playing. Speaking of the forest, I have lost the track of tune already, however with the s
JAMES’ POV. The energy in my bones were beginning to give out, I could feel the weakness engulfing me, taking over every ounce of my body. The poison was beginning to have a large effect on me, my bones felt weak, my vision blurry.And as I grabbed the sword of the rogue on top of me with shaky hands, my arms shaking as blood rolled down my wrist due to the blade of the rogue's sword digging deep into my palm. Saliva dripped from the rogue’s mouth onto my face as the rogue pressed on, forcing the sword down to the point that I could already feel the cold metal of the blade pressed against my throat.“This is where you die beta” No matter how hard you try to channel all my strength it just wasn't enough, the poison had weakened me so much and I knew if I don't find a way to push this rogue off me then I would be a dead man in no time. My sword had fallen off my hand a while ago and now that I had my palm wrapped around the blade of the rogue’s sword, more poison slipped into my b
CECILIA'S POV .The commotion happening outside brought a certain kind of satisfaction to me. The sound of metal clangings, where like music to my eyes, I felt satisfied, finally it was happening, the battle had begun.I smiled as the reflection in my full length mirror smiled back at me. Now Ezekiel would be shocked when he heard about this. I just couldn't wait to see the look on his face, the shocked look on his face, the smile on my face widened as I adjusted my cloak. I was distracted by a knock on the door, I smiled as my gaze shifted from the full length mirror to the door. Of Course I was expecting someone. “The door is open,” I muttered.The door slowly pushed open and Roy stepped in. I could see him observing his surroundings before stepping in, like someone who had just stolen from the market and was looking to see if anyone had seen him. I knew this cautiousness had to do with James. Roy had told me how James had confronted him in the bar, pinning him to the wall and
JAMES’ POV. My eyes felt heavy, drowsy and the images in front of me doubled, tripped and the next thing I realized was that I was falling. I dropped to the ground with a thud, supporting myself with my arm strongly planted to the ground. “Shit” I cursed, shaking my head from side to side, trying so hard to stay awake. I could feel my consciousness slipping away gradually but I wasn't going to give it a chance m, I must stay awake. I can't pass out now, not now, not when the battle is still on. I shook my head again and struggled to get to my feet, however my effort was in vain as I collapsed again.My wounds burned on my skin, they were not healing, in fact it felt like they were getting worse.I grabbed my sword tightly, gagerung all the strength I could muster, I stabbed the sword into the ground using it as a third leg while supporting myself back to my feet.“There should be an Antidote” I muttered. “There should've an Antidote somewhere, and I need to find it.” I took a st
JAMES’ POV. He grinned, his sharp eyes scanning me, assessing my movements just as I was doing to him.Then he stroked, His sword came fast, a blur of steel slicing toward my ribs. I barely parried in time, the force of the blow sending vibrations up my arm. I twisted, countering with a quick strike aimed at his side, but he dodged effortlessly, stepping back just out of reach.He was fast. Too fast, I exhaled sharply, adjusting my grip. This wasn’t going to be an easy fight.We circled each other, the ground beneath us torn from previous clashes. My breathing was steady, my heart pounding in my ears. He feinted to the left, then struck from the right. I blocked, barely, his blade scraping against mine as sparks flew.Then he kicked me square in the chest, the strike was hard, I stumbled back, gasping as pain exploded in my ribs. He didn’t waste a second. He was on me again, his sword a whirlwind of motion. I barely managed to dodge, his blade slicing through the fabric of my s
James’ POV As I ran forward, my eyes locked at the three rogues. The growls of the rogue wolves filled the air, their yellow eyes locked onto me with murderous intent.I pulled my sword from my sheath and tightened my grip on the hilt of the sword, feeling the weight of it steady me as they crouched low, preparing to pounce. My body was tense, my muscles coiled like a spring, waiting for the right moment.Then as they charged towards me, I could feel the ground trembling beneath their heavy paws, a storm of snarls and snapping fangs coming at me from three different angles.I had seconds to react, and I did. With a quick step to the side, I twisted my sword in an arc, meeting the closest wolf mid-leap.The blade sliced across its chest, a deep wound opening up, but it wasn’t enough to take it down.Pain exploded across my side as another rogue slammed into me, knocking me off balance.My back hit the ground hard, the wind rushing from my lungs.Claws raked across my arm as I rolled
