“Father!” I gasped, “No!!!” “Lauren, stay alive…” I lost my entire family on the day I became an adult. It was also the day I was supposed to meet my fiancé. But all that happened was a bloody disaster! I will never forget the pain of being pressed to the ground and humiliated by the traitors. “I’m the one that should have been in charge of the pack! Your father is a loser!” “You’re a stain on my life, child, just like your useless father.” “Lauren, I am the real Alpha’s daughter and you’re nothing!” I never imagined that my uncle, mother and sister would betray my father. Their evil words still lingered in my mind. When I was pushed off a cliff, I thought my life was over. But someone appeared. He saved me and told me he’s my mate! “I can help, but we have to make a deal…” Filled with a burning hatred, my blood was boiling. All of the rebels will pay the price for this if it’s the last thing I do! But I developed a special affection for my rescuer. Was this another calamity for me?
View MoreDean’s POVWhile Father spoke with Alpha Jed, my mind drifted away. Lauren’s soft face still lingered in my head, which seemed to be a regular occurrence lately. From the moment I met her, I instantly felt a deadly attraction towards her. Her scent still stuck with me, even when she wasn’t around. My wolf, Owen, also told me he wanted her; that he craved her with every part of his being. Something like this had never happened before. It made me all the more curious, and if I’m being honest, made me want her more. Whenever Lauren seemed to be in danger, Owen roared in my head: ‘Protect her!’ It was an amazing sensation, like a kind of addictive poison. I didn’t want the feeling to go away, and I knew neither did Owen. Her fair skin, beautiful blue eyes the color of a forest stream, rosy lips, and even the slight point of her nose… “Dean, what are you thinking about?” Father’s voice brought me back to reality, but I could still feel the warm rush of blood swimming through my veins
Lauren’s POVAlthough my father was no longer with me, as Alpha’s daughter, it would be a great shame to be labeled as a breeder. I didn’t reply to Adam’s father, the Alpha King of this pack. I’d rather die and sacrifice my own life if it meant saving my family’s dignity. There was no way I would allow the humiliating label to taint my family’s honor and name. But no one knew the real truth. Gazing at Alpha King, I almost wanted to die then and there and take him with me. But before there was time to implement these ideas that lay deep in my heart, Dean preemptively changed the subject. “Father, Alpha Jed sent an envoy this morning. He wants to discuss the alliance affairs with you,” he informed Alpha King, “and by the way…the Crimson Moon Tribe hasn’t experienced much peace lately. I thought you would want to know.” It was smart thinking on Dean’s behalf — although hearing about my home tribe panged my heart, and made me feel a little nervous, this was an important matter Alpha
Lauren’s POV“Don’t beg him!!!” Adam gasped and growled. As wounded as he was, Adam was prideful. Trying to stand up, he fell to the ground once more. Now, he was badly hurt, and in so much agony, was unable to keep his wolf shape. Trembling, the black wolf disappeared, leaving a disheveled Adam lying on the shattered stone ground. However, he was still trying to summon his last bit of strength but struggled. This is enough! How could a father treat his own son like this? But then again, look at what Mother did to me I guess; her daughter…As Alpha King raised his hand again to punish his son, I stepped forward and threw open my arms. “Lauren!” Dean interjected. He didn’t approve of this and pleaded for Alpha King’s mercy for me. “Father, no. Leave her out of this. This is between Adam and I.” “No, it’s not. She is the one that has caused all of this uproar, Dean,” Alpha King said with finality. But Alpha King didn’t make the next move. He simply repeated his question. “So, an
Lauren’s POVDean paused in mid-air the moment he heard my roar. Everyone’s eyes were now fixated on me; it felt like hundreds of needles pricking my skin. An undeniable massive force rose from my chest. I know that’s you, Alice. My sleeping wolf sensed that our mate was in danger. She seemed to appear out of nowhere when I needed her most, but I wished she would stay with me forever. Breaking free, I rushed to Dean, and with all my might, threw him off Adam, his teeth still dripping in blood. My strength surprised me, but I had come to realize that this was another gift from Alice. Even though I wasn’t able to transform into my wolf, she provided me with power whenever I needed it most. But Dean didn’t dodge my attack, instead, embraced me into his arms. Straight away, he shifted back into human shape. As his wolf transformed, we stumbled backward, and his back crashed down onto a stone pillar, and together we fell onto the hard ground. One of his hands wrapped around my waist
Lauren’s POVAlpha King was irritated by Adam’s behavior — the look upon his face filled with disappointment and scorn. After all, his son had sided with me over him. He ordered his soldiers to capture him as punishment without saying anything to Adam. “Take him away now!” At Alpha King’s command, the magnificent palace instantly became chaotic, and the King’s soldiers took their position, ready to obey their Alpha’s command. The guards surrounding Alpha King all took two steps forward. The soldiers on the outskirts started edging closer, creating a half-moon shape in front of Adam. Enclosing in on him, the last two soldiers on either side pulled out a set of chains. All the while, Adam still kept his wolf form. As soon as he realized the seriousness of his father’s orders, his wolf immediately went into fight mode. Snarling at the crowd, Adam’s wolf stepped backward. In a flash, he encircled one of the soldiers on the outer perimeters and whacked him to the ground with one swe
Lauren’s POVThe inside world was very luxurious, even more so than the exterior appearance of the palace. Many soldiers stood guarding every corner, extending from the entrance to the interiors, showing the majesty of nobility. Statues depicting werewolves and half-humans lined the stone walls, alongside other motifs, and a massive chandelier hung from the middle of the ceremonial room’s ceiling, dripping in hundreds of lit candles. Lines of long wooden tables extended from one side of the room to the other, where banquets were often held among the Tribe. Alpha King sat on his embellished throne, looking at me condescendingly. He wore a thick fur coat, dangling on the stone floor beneath his throne. To my surprise, Dean was there, too. He stood beside Alpha King and smiled at me as I neared Alpha’s throne. At this time, he bent down and whispered to Alpha King. Watching their every move in a bid to figure out what the situation meant, I noticed Alpha King’s face soften slightly,
Lauren’s POVMy body froze, unable to move from its spot, and I felt a chill run down my spine. I never expected Adam to be so perceptive. Had I given him any clues? No, it couldn’t be.What would happen if he knew my real identity? Is he going to hand me over to Uncle or Teresa if he knows the real truth?“I…” As I hesitated to find the words, the door opened. “You, come with us,” one of the soldiers unkindly instructed, signaling to another standing with him to tie me and take me away. “Stop! Who allowed you to do this? Did you not hear me, I said STOP! That is a command!” Adam flung the soldiers out of the cell as he spoke, and let out a powerful roar of Alpha. The two soldiers were now writhing on the ground in pain, clutching at their bodies. While this was happening, Jacob suddenly walked in, entering the cell. Surprisingly, he rebuked the two soldiers’ actions and then proceeded to salute Adam respectfully. “I’ve been ordered by Alpha King to take the she-wolf away for int
Lauren’s POV“Adam! Have you forgotten who you are?! How dare you speak to me like that!” Alpha King bellowed. It was as if I could feel the Earth shaking as the Alpha King spoke to his son. Teresa wasn’t expecting to mess things up, at least not in this way. She probably never expected Adam to defend my honor like this. “Adam, don’t be a fool! Don’t fall into her trap and her selfish ways,” pleaded Teresa. But no one listened to her and Adam simply ignored her. “I will never allow anyone to bully my mate. If she is guilty, I am willing to be punished alongside her. We are one. We will face whatever it is you have in store for us, together,” Adam informed his father and those standing nearby. He burned all his bridges at this point. Despite the turmoil it caused between the werewolves, and most importantly, Alpha King, my heart couldn’t help but soar as Adam defended me. It spoke volumes of his character. Naturally, Alpha King was livid and was not expecting his son’s reaction.
Lauren’s POV“What are you thinking? It’s your turn,” the werewolf nudged me, tearing me from my thoughts, once again. Coming to my senses, I warned myself not to easily empathize with others. Adam still had a family and status, but I had lost everything. At least he still had that, and the same for Dean. He still had a father. Focus on your training, Lauren. You need to take every single chance to become stronger. Remember why you’re here. Standing up, I shook the sand off my clothes. Gathering myself, it was time to put everything aside and prepare for my new match of the day. Strangely, my new partner was in a tremendous state of excitement. I could tell she wanted to kill me and wondered if she had witnessed the battle between the she-wolf and myself yesterday. Her breathing became heavier with every movement, and from the onset, she bared her fangs. There wasn’t a moment when they weren’t out on display. She was out of control! Dodging her attack again and again, her wolf c
Lauren’s POVI had long-awaited this moment since I was a child. Reaching adulthood today with the new moon marking my entry, it was finally time for me to meet my fiance, Adam Evans, the heir of the Ironclaw Pack. Over the years, frequent wars caused the decline of my own pack; the Crimson Moon Tribe. In hopes of creating some sort of calm between the two packs, Father sought out the support of the Ironclaws. Their Alpha King proposed a marriage alliance in return for peace between the two long-standing clans. This was settled on and decided years before today, and I knew the day would come when childhood left me. Before this agreement, Father discussed the idea with me. He didn’t want to sacrifice my happiness, but as the Alpha’s daughter, I offered to accept the proposition. I knew my responsibility, and always vowed to uphold it at any cost. Father had told me I would marry Adam, the son of the Alpha King. Adam was the most powerful Alpha apart from the Alpha King of the Ironc...
