CHAPTER ONE
A World Of Werewolves"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Blair! Happy birthday to you!" Blair's college friends sang, their voices harmonizing in a cheerful tune, and their faces beaming with joy.Blair was surrounded by her closest college friends as they celebrated her 22nd birthday in the woods. They had set up a small bonfire and spread out blankets on the ground, where they all sat, chatting, laughing and enjoying the cool night breeze.As the fire crackled and the stars twinkled above them, Blair knew that this was one of the days she would look back on for years to come.Blair couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with emotion as she looked around at her friends. They had all come together to celebrate her special day, and she felt grateful for each and every one of them.Blair's best friend, Jessica, had brought a delicious cake that she had baked herself, and they all gathered around it as they sang.As the song ended, her friend Jessica leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Make a wish, Blair! Blow out the candles and make a wish!"As Blair closed her eyes to make a wish, thinking about all the things she wanted for herself, her loved ones, and the world at large, she heard a loud rustling noise in the bushes nearby. Her friends laughed and joked about it, saying it was probably just a raccoon or a deer. But Blair's instincts told her something was off.She finally blew off the candle and slowly opened her eyes, scanning the darkness. Suddenly, a figure emerged from the shadows, brandishing a weapon. Blair's heart skipped a beat as she realized it was a masked assailant.In a split second, chaos erupted. Blair's friends screamed and scattered in all directions, but the attacker was fast and agile. He took them down one by one, ruthlessly slashing and stabbing with his weapon.Blair froze in fear, watching in horror as her friends fell around her. She tried to run, but her legs felt heavy and uncooperative. Blair's heart raced as she stared in horror at the gruesome scene before her. She felt paralyzed, unable to move or even scream. Her mind was in a fog, struggling to process what was happening. As the reality of the situation hit her, Blair's body shook with sobs. She fell to her knees and crawled to her closest friend's side, trying to find any sign of life. But it was too late, they were all gone.The attacker approached her with a sinister grin, his weapon glinting in the moonlight.Blair felt a surge of adrenaline as she spranged on her feet and fought back with all her might. She kicked and punched, desperate to defend herself. The attacker was taken aback by her ferocity, but he quickly regained his composure and lunged at her with renewed vigor.Blair's world turned into a blur of pain and chaos as she fought for her life. She didn't know how long she managed to keep the attacker at bay.As she fought against him, she could see some other men coming through the deep forest and joining them there. Blair froze, she knew she couldn't do this alone. She wouldn't be able to fight against these men."Let me go!" Blair shouted and bit the on who held her. As he let go of her hand, she stumbled into the forest, running with no destination in mind.Blair's hands trembled as she reached for her phone to call for help, but her fingers were shaking so violently that she couldn't even hold it steady. She was alone in the woods, with no one around to help her or even hear her cries.Fear consumed her as she realized that she was the only survivor of this senseless tragedy. She didn't know how she was going to make it through this, but she knew that she had to try. She had to find a way to get help and bring justice to her friends.Tears streamed down her face as she ran through the woods, trying to find her way back to civilization. She was scared, hurt, and alone, but she was determined to survive and make sure that her friends' deaths were not in vain.Blair stumbled as she emerged from the dense forest, her eyes blinking rapidly as she tried to adjust to the sudden change in light. She looked around, her heart racing with confusion and fear, as she realized that she was in a completely unfamiliar place.What just happened? She couldn't understand what was going on, it was like she had gotten to an entirely different place.The trees were taller and thicker than any she had ever seen before, and the air was filled with the sounds of wildlife she could not identify. As she took a tentative step forward, she suddenly heard a low growling noise coming from behind her.Whipping around, she saw a pack of wolves emerge from the trees, their eyes fixed on her with an intense, predatory gaze. Blair froze, her mind racing as she tried to process what was happening.Had she stumbled upon some kind of wildlife sanctuary? Was this some kind of elaborate practical joke? But as the wolves began to circle her, their eyes glowing in the darkness, she realized with growing terror that this was no ordinary forest.She was only out with her friends on a night out in the woods when she excused herself to pee, but it was like she stepped into an entirely different place.She tried to run deeper into the forest, hoping to find some shelter or sanctuary, but the sound of the wolves grew louder and closer.She spotted a cave up ahead and sprinted towards it, desperate for a place to hide.She was only trying to find help for her friends who got murdered, and now she was in an entirely different place.As she entered the cave, she was hit with the overwhelming stench of decay and rot. She gagged, but forced herself to push further into the cave, knowing that it was her only hope for survival. Suddenly, she heard the sound of footsteps approaching and froze.Peering out from behind a rock, she saw a group of wolves emerge from the trees, their eyes gleaming with a predatory hunger. They had caught her scent and were closing in for the kill.With no other options, Blair huddled behind the rock, her heart racing as the werewolves closed in on her.Blair tried to back away, but her feet seemed to be rooted to the spot. She could feel the heat of their breath on her skin, and she was certain that she was about to die.She closed her eyes and crossed her fingers as she murmured a silent prayer, hoping she would get the help she need to get away from these scary creatures.Blair suddenly heard a deep, commanding voice call out from the trees. The wolves immediately backed away, and Blair looked up to see a tall, muscular man striding towards her. He was among the men who joined the murderer, she was confused.Who are these people and what do they want from her? They already killed her friends and now they were after her.She wondered who this man could be and how the wolves listened to him. He was unlike anyone she had ever seen before, with sharp, angular features and piercing green eyes that seemed to stare straight through her. He wore a dark cloak that swirled around his body as he moved, and Blair could sense a fierce power emanating from him.As he approached her, she cowered back, her heart racing with fear.The wolves which were chasing her earlier suddenly shook and changed back into their human form.Blair’s face twisted in terror as she witnessed the wolves transformation into human. She stumbled back, her eyes wide and her breath quickening as she struggled to comprehend what she had just witnessed. Her hands trembled as she struggled to find her footing, fear gripping her heart.As they stood before her in human form, Blair’s fear only intensified, they were the same people who killed her friends, what do they want from her? She could feel her heart pounding in her chest, her palms slick with sweat. Her voice shook as she spoke, barely able to get the words out."T…This is impossible ," she stammered, her eyes darting around nervously. "What...what do you want from me? Who are you?"Her fear was palpable, and it was clear that she was not prepared for this encounter. They seemed to sense her fear, and it only served to make her feel more vulnerable and helpless. She took a step back, her eyes never leaving them, unsure of what to do next."Your highness, we should just kill her like we did to the rest," one of the men saidThe man stretched out his hand towards her and pulled her up.As Blair stumbled and fell into the arms of the alpha king, she was overwhelmed by a mix of fear and confusion. The powerful alpha king was not like any man she had ever seen before, and the hate in his eyes was palpable.As he stood up, still holding her tightly, Blair tried to speak, but her words came out in a stuttering, terrified whisper. She could feel the heat of his breath on her face, and she shuddered with fear."Who are you? And why are you here?” Alpha king, Ashier questioned.Blair tried to explain, telling him that she had no idea where she was and what was happening, she tried to explain that she was only having her birthday party with her friends when they got murdered by one of them, she didn't know they had already tresspassed. But the alpha king's expression only grew darker."You expect me to believe that?" he spat, his grip on her tightening. "You come into our world uninvited, and you expect us to believe that it was all some accident? Don’t joke with me human girl. What is your aim? Every human has one or two thinks they want to take from our Kingdom," he growled.Blair could feel her heart racing in her chest, and she knew that she was in deep trouble. The alpha king was clearly not interested in listening to her excuses, and she was afraid that he might do her harm.“P..please believe me, I…I don’t know what this place is,” she stuttered.The gamma laughed, “Your highness,” he bent his head before walking to Ashier, “Don’t listen to this human girl, she is not different from the ones we’ve been seeing. She crossed our portal, she crossed the line and she deserved to be killed just like her friends,” he yelled.Fear gripped Blair when she heard about death, she looked up at them, her eyes filled to the brim with tears.If she had known that this would be the end of the night out, she would have just listened to her mom and stayed back home. Now, all her friends had been killed and she was also on the verge of her own death.“There is no other way,” Ashier mouthed, “We would have to kill this human girl,” he added and pushed Blair towards one of the werewolves, “Take her away and lock her up,” he ordered.“At your command your highness,” the guards bowed before surrounding Blair.As she was led deeper into the forest, she could only hope that she would find a way to escape before it was too late.Suddenly, the deep forest which she had been finding a way out from pathed and all she could see was a highway.Blair gasped, she couldn’t comprehend what had just happened, how could a thick forest suddenly change into a highway?She turned back but there was nothing like the forest anymore, the unimaginable things that had been happening since she entered into the forest made her numb, she couldn’t say a word.“Throw her in and let’s move,” Alpha Ashier gave the order before he got into his car which was followed by a convoy.Blair was thrown into the booth of one of the cars with her mouth taped and her hands tied.They zoomed off to the palace, where she was going to know what was in store for her and what judgment this ruthless alpha king was going to pass on her.CHAPTER TWOAshier, The Cursed AlphaBlair was thrown into a cold and damp cell, the iron bars closing with a resounding clang behind her. She huddled in a corner, her mind racing with fear and confusion. How had she ended up here? And what did these werewolves want with her?As she tried to make sense of her situation, she heard footsteps approaching. A moment later, the alpha king appeared in front of her cell, his piercing green eyes locked onto hers."You will stay here until I decide what to do with you," he said, his voice cold and unyielding. Blair could feel her heart sinking in her chest – she knew that she was in serious trouble.As the alpha king turned and strode away, Blair could hear the sound of his heavy footsteps echoing through the corridor. She was alone, trapped in this strange and terrifying world.Meanwhile, the alpha king himself was lost in thought. He knew that his days were numbered – the curse that had been placed upon him would soon claim his life. He could
CHAPTER THREEWho Are You?Blair's heart was racing as she looked around the small, dark cell she had been thrown in. The walls were made of rough, gray stone, and the air was thick with the smell of mold and decay. She shivered, her arms wrapped tightly around herself as she tried to make sense of what was happening.This was not her world. She had been ripped from her own reality and thrown into this strange, foreign place. And the people here in this world. they weren't like anyone she had ever seen before. They had strange, angular features, with eyes that glowed in the night. They spoke in a way she couldn't understand, their voices low and guttural.Blair felt a sense of panic rising in her chest. How was she ever going to survive in a world like this? How would she ever find her way back to her own reality? The thought of being trapped here forever made her feel sick with fear.But then, the other inmates in the cell began to speak to her, their voices soft and reassuring. One
CHAPTER FOURStep DownRalph grabbed Blair’s hand and pulled her closer to himself, he raised her head and stared deep into her eyes.Blair didn’t know what to do, she wanted to avoid his intimidating eyes but she couldn’t, it was difficult. She didn’t know what this man wanted from her, but she was sure that it wouldn’t be something easy.“This mark,” he said, still staring deep into her eyes like he was trying to see through her, “Who are you?” He asked, and Blair was lost once again.She stared back at him, confused about his question and what the right answer to it should be, was he asking for her name and where she came from? She cleared her throat, “Uhmm.. My… my name is Blair Harper, I am 22 years old and I am..”“I didn’t ask for a story,” Prince Ralph cut her off, “I only asked you to tell me what your real identity is and how you came about this mark in your eyes,” he pointed at her eyes.“What mark?” Bree was forced to ask, “I can’t understand what you are talking about, t
CHAPTER FIVEHis Pain, Weakness, And Curse"Ashier!" Ralph called as Ashier turned to leave, "There might be a way to make us get back as brothers, just like we use to be," he added.Ashier turner back to him immediately, it was what he wishes for, for them to be back as brothers, just like they were before, just like they were fifteen years ago.It has been a hell of a ride for him without his brother. His brother was the only family he had left after his parents was killed by the humans and werewolves, he wanted the support of his family, that was one thing he lacked and he wanted to get it back.He looked up at his brother, Ralph with a big smile on his face, his eyes shown with joy as he stared at him, "What is that Ralph?" he asked, anxious to know what his brother wanted.Was is wealth? Was it a rank among the royals? Was it a car house? He was ready to give his brother whatever he wanted, he was ready to give him everything he want just to get back with him."Just tell me what
CHAPTER SIXThe New Plan"I have a plan," Nora stated, "Uhmm..I don't think Ashier will ever let me get close to him, he wouldn't allow us to be together for a minute, not to talk of spending time with him," she went on."So what's the plan Nora?" Gamma Fred asked, "How do we do this and get the throne, you do know that it is important for you to get pregnant for the alpha king right? Only with that can we get the throne," he added."Although I'm not his real mate, but aside you and his people, I don't think no one else knows that in the park," Nora said, "It would been quite easy to get the throne if he is giving me the chance to get close to him but he isn't, he doesn't want to be close to me so we have no choice than to find another way.""But what way? You still have to get pregnant, and with his son, you can't go tricky with that," Gamma Fred was worried, they had been planning for years and he was scared that they wouldn't get what they want, they wouldn't get what they had desi
CHAPTER SEVENCaught In The ActBlair sat in a corner of the cell, her heart felt heavy with grief and despair. Tears streamed down her face as she thought about her friends who had been killed before her eyes. She wished she could turn back the hands of time and change what had happened, but it was too late. Her life had taken a drastic turn, and she was now trapped in a world she knew nothing about.She felt like a prisoner in her own body, with no control over her life. Her mind was filled with endless questions about this new world she found herself in, and the people who ruled it. Would she ever see her family and friends again? Would she ever escape this prison and go back to her old life?The pain in her heart was so intense that she could hardly bear it. She longed for someone to hold her and comfort her, but she was all alone in the cell. She tried to wipe away her tears, but they kept flowing, each one carrying a piece of her shattered dreams.Blair felt like she had lost ev
CHAPTER EIGHTThe WarningBlair was lost in thought as she and the other slaves were led back to the cell. She couldn't shake off what she had seen in the woods - the prince, Ralph, making out with one of the maids. She knew it was dangerous to have witnessed that, and she feared that they would come for her.She knew they would want her to keep that as a secret and they would come for her. She couldn’t stop the feeling that kept lingering at her, the feeling that she was in danger and these people would come for her just to make her speak.As they were pushed into the cell, Blair's mind was racing with different thoughts. She tried to keep her composure, but her heart was pounding with fear. She couldn't believe what she had seen - the prince, who she had only seen once, was there, in the woods, with one of the slaves.Blair knew really well that they would come for her, she knew she couldn’t escape that and she was scared of what they might do to her. Blair knew they would want her
CHAPTER NINEThe Broken StatueBlair woke up the next morning with whitish lines on her face, her tears had dried up.She sat up and raised her legs up to her face level, then she rested her head on it, she missed the comfort of her home, she missed how it feels to be with her parents, to be with people who love her.Her friends noticed that Blair seemed distant and lost in thought, they had noticed that since the night before but she wasn’t willing to open up to them.“What do we do now?” Emily asked, “She isn’t ready to tell us what went wrong with her. I still can’t figure out what the guards did with her.”“Do you think he took advantage of her?” Liza asked.“No, I don’t think that is what happened, I think it is something else, but why isn’t she opening up to us,” Amy murmured, “We can at least know what to do and how to help her if she says something but she has just been mute since.”Emily sighed, “I think we can still comfort and console her even if we don’t know what went w
Chapter NinetyLess Than Five DaysPicking up his shaky legs one after the other, Ashier made his way to the dining room, his steps were slow and unsteady. The aroma of the breakfast dishes filled the air, tempting his senses, but as he sat down to eat, his appetite had diminished. The food on his plate seemed tasteless, the flavors dulled by the weight of his deteriorating condition.His head spun with dizziness, intensifying his struggle to focus on the meal before him. He picked at the food, unable to bring himself to take a single bite. Each morsel felt heavy in his mouth, as if infused with a bitter reminder of his own mortality. He couldn't eat the food, he stared at the plate his fork moved in a circular motion as different thoughts raced through his mind. Thoughts of the condition he was in swept through his head.Restlessness gnawed at his thoughts, the realization sinking in that the countdown he had been given did not guarantee him a full seven days of life. It was just a r
CHAPTER EIGHTY-NINELast Five DaysThe soft morning sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow on the room. The rays danced across the furniture, painting delicate shadows on the walls and floor. As the room slowly came to life, Ashier's eyes fluttered open, one after the other, to behold the peaceful scene.Beneath him, Blair lay sound asleep, her head nestled against his chest. A tender smile curved his lips as he traced his fingers gently through her silky hair. In that quiet moment, his heart swelled with a mixture of love, gratitude, and bittersweetness.Memories from the previous day flooded his mind, filling him with warmth and joy. From their intimate moments of pleasure to the grand dinner where he revealed Blair's family, every detail played vividly in his thoughts. The dance they shared, the tears of happiness that adorned Blair's face when she saw her loved ones again—each memory held a special place in his heart, and he hoped it was the same for Blair.He
CHAPTER EIGHTY-EIGHT Fulfilling Her WishAshier stood up slowly beside Blair who was already fast asleep, and he walked slowly into the bathroom gently and silently so he wouldn’t wake her up. He stood under the shower and turned on the water, letting it roll down his body as he relived the moment of their lovemaking which happened almost an hour ago.He quickly took his bath and stepped out of the bathroom, he needed to find a way to fulfill Blair’s wish, there must be a way to do that and he wanted to do that, before they set out for the feast and the dinner.He walked into the closet and picked up the clothes which she picked for him, he quickly got dressed and walked back to her on the bed.He leaned in and kissed her softly on her forehead.Blair turned and opened her eyes, as if it was the kiss that woke her up, she rubbed her eyes as it was still blurry to see Ashier in her front, fully dressed.“Did I wake you up?” Ashier asked, concern etched on his face, he didn’t mean to w
CHAPTER EIGHTY-SEVENMoment Of Pleasure“I will see to that,” Ashier murmured, vowing and making a promise to her and to himself silently to fulfill her wish.He pulled back and held her hand, “We have to go prepare for the feast,” he smiled as they headed for the room.Blair kept looking around as they walked to the room, she saw the big pool which was at the center of the room and smiled, this was the exact type of mansions she has seen in books and in pictures, she thought it was all picture and imagination, she never knew that such house truly existed.Ashier held her hand tightly, as he thought about the way to fulfill Blair’s wish, it was a hard one, but he still wanted to try his best to fulfill it. It was one of the ways not to ever make her forget this moment, but how would he take her to see her mom and her siblings? How would he do something like that?He sighed as they walked, giving it a deep thought.Hand in hand, Ashier and Blair got the door of the room, he pressed on
CHAPTER EIGHTY-SIX The FeastBlair couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude and excitement for what lay ahead of them. The house had surpassed her wildest dreams, it offered a haven where their love and dreams could flourish. She knew they would be out of this place in the next three days, and back to the place, but they could still make some memories her.She had a big smile on her face as she looked around, wishing and imagining how they would come here with their kid after the delivery, she imagined coming back to the mansion to have the family alone time and she couldn’t help but feel elated and excited for that time.Ashier turned to the maid, “Let’s have a feast!” He declared.The maids bowed and made their way into the big and spacious kitchen, getting ready for the feast, the sound of plates and cutleries clasping against each other only made the moment more exciting, and it made Blair look forward to the feast and the delicious delicacies the maids were going to make.She
CHAPTER EIGHTY-SIX Last Six Days“You should get mated to her!” The high priest declared.Ashier looked at Blair, this is what he always wanted, this is what he has wished for and he was glad that it was finally going to happen, but he wanted to happen few days to his last day.He wanted to die peacefully with that feeling of being mated with his love, he wanted to leave with that feeling.“If you want that, Your highness, then please give us the day.” The high priest stated.Ashier smiled and turned to Blair, “I will be getting mated to Blair in the next three days, and I want you all to be present there,” he announced, “This shall be the end of today’s gathering, I dismiss you all.” He added.Alisha walked to him, “You should thank your brother, Your highness, he was the one who saved Blair this morning.” Ashier nodded and walked to Ralph where he has been standing, “Thank you!” He murmured.Ralph smiled, “You can call me anytime you need me, I’ll be there,” he responded and bowe
CHAPTER EIGHTY-FIVE Get Mated“Who is the father of this child?” Alisha shouted at her and watched as Nora slowly raised her hand to point to someone in the crowd.Alisha’s eyes widened, “Gamma Fred?”“H….He is the father.” Nora declared.“Fred!” Ashier shouted, still holding on to Blair, “How dare you do something like this!” He shouted.“There is no need to argue or yell at each other, Your highness, just banish these two wicked beings away from this kingdom. They don’t deserve to share this kingdom with us, they are a disgrace!” One of the park members yelled.“He is right, Your highness, these two should be sent away!” Another shouted.“No, I don’t think so,” one chimed in, “They shouldn’t be banished, because they would only get more time together, they should be hung to death!” He shouted.Ashier just stood there and watched as they argued between themselves, trying to come to an conclusion on the judgement to be passed on Nora and Gamma Fred, he didn’t know what to say and wha
CHAPTER EIGHTY-FOURCaught, Red-handed“What!” Alisha exclaimed and turn to Nora, she glared at her from head to toe, like her gaze would throw her off, “I knew something was off from the start, because I have seen it that she is carrying the real heir. I knew she was lying from the start, she is a liar.”“What is happening?” Ashier asked for explanation, he had been so lost since and now the same thing was happening as they weren’t telling him what was going on this time.Alisha smiled, “This means that this woman manipulated the result of the test,” she moved closer to Blair, “Blair is carrying your real heir, your blood line flows in this baby!”A big smile fell on Ashier’s face as he pulled Blair to himself, he was glad that he finally got what he wanted, he finally got the truth. He was already finding it difficult to deal with what the high priest said before that Nora was the one carrying his baby, he felt like everything had come to an end, because he couldn’t imagine being wi
CHAPTER EIGHTY-THREEHis Blood Line“Then, who is carrying the child?” Ashier asked with excitement written all over his face. He hoped it would turn out to be the result he want and everything would go well after that. His heart thumped in excitement in his chest as he waited for the high priest’s response, he was not really scared before, but now when it was closer to finding out the truth and the one who carries his real child, his fear grew.The high priest moved towards the three chalices. “The one with that chalice,” the high priest said and pointed to the chalice, “Queen Nora!” He announced.Ashier’s heart leaped into his throat as he heard that, he wasn’t sure if he heard right, he wasn’t sure if he was hearing the right thing. Was it just a dream? Was it a nightmare? He wanted to wake up from it really bad if it was one, he couldn’t believe what the high priest has said.He pinched and shook his head, just to be sure that he wasn’t making things up and he has heard the high
