Emily was perplexed by the sudden pause in the conversation.
Lilac appeared to be in a bad mood because her cheerful and upbeat demeanor had utterly vanished.And the only difference between Dillon and Millie is that Dillon is standing up straight as he always does, whereas Millie, who was previously calm and easygoing, has adopted more professionalism, standing as if she is waiting for a command.Then Emily became aware of approaching footsteps. She pulled the blanket with her trembling hands, and for the first time, she was able to accomplish what her mind desired. She was slowly pulling it up when the door opened.A tall man walked inside. He has fair skin and jet-black hair and towered over everyone. His jawline was defined and emphasized the masculine characteristics he possessed. She had never seen a man move quite like him, gracefully but with an unforgiving glint hidden behind his piercing blue eyes.Even though he was across the room, the aura surrounding him demonstrated the immense power he possessed, and she was frightened of what she saw.She had come into contact with dangerous men. Throughout her life, her stepbrother Cole and even her father have shown her distress... However, neither of them possessed the same level of intimidation as this man.He shifted his gaze to her.The way his blue eyes seemed to pierce into her very soul was something she couldn't help but notice.She was startled when she felt a banging in her chest and she could hear the booming rhythm of her heart.'How could someone be both dangerous and attractive at the same time?' she thought.What was it about him that made her feel drawn to him?The three with her earlier were all looking down at the ground with their necks turned slightly towards him, which is a common sign of submission among wolves.In her experience, wolves only acted in this manner on one occasion, and that was when they were in front of their Alpha.When the realization dawned on Emily, she felt a pang of fear.How could she be unaware?He must be the Alpha of Blue Moon!… And this was confirmed when Dillon called him. "Alpha!" and greeted the man with respect.It takes only a simple nod from the enormously attractive man to acknowledge Dillon, an aura of authority emanating from him that was far greater than Dillon's own.He turned to face Millie, who had already pulled out her report."Alpha, Miss Emily remains quite frail, but she should improve significantly within a month with adequate treatment," she explained.Emily frowned. 'Am I that weak? But I'm just fine when Dillon fetches me. I have bruises, but I get used to it,' she wondered.However, she realizes Millie was right; remembering what she did earlier, her hands couldn't perform correctly.The Alpha's expression remained unchanged when he learned the news from Millie. But he moved, and he's heading in her direction.Emily was utterly taken aback. She had never encountered a wolf as exquisite and quick as this one. He moved so swiftly as lightning struck on the land. The next thing she knew, he was already standing at her bedside.She was surrounded by the faint scent of a musky odor. The earthy aroma reminded her of being in the forest on a rainy day, and it took the place of the sterile chemical smell that pervaded the room. It was chilly, but it had a kaleidoscopic quality to it—defining him.Emily couldn't stop herself from lowering her head.The man’s black leather shoes had come to a halt right next to her bed, with the toe of the shoe pointing in her direction, which she had noticed through the gap in her hair.She could feel his eyes piercing at her."Look at me." His voice was deep and resounded in her ears, sending shivers on her spines and tingling up to her head.Suddenly, the icy reflection of his silver cufflinks came into her field of vision. By this time, his hand had already reached out toward her face. His fingers were lengthy and robust, drawn in a perfect size and shape.Emily grits her teeth when she doesn't like the thoughts that are running through her head.His warm fingers pressed hard on her chin, forcing her head up.Indeed, the Alpha of Blue Moon was not a patient man.Emily's face was flushing, and she was thankful her long, loose hair still covered her face."Don't ever make me repeat what I have said."Emily had no choice. She then looked at him. When she met his gaze, she felt pushed into hell.The ward's cold white light cast a soft glow around him and viewed him like a king, a royally handsome one.A crease ran between his sculpted, jet-black brows. He frowned as if he despised this world.His piercing blue eyes locked on hers as he bent down.She trembled, wondering if he'd swoop down and seize her, either take her up into the dark forest or throw her down the ridge mountains. She forgot how to breathe in his hands.The disturbing rhythm of her heart was the only sound she could hear.She caught a glimpse of his right arm moving. Her body quivered, and she winced, expecting a slap on the face, as her father would have done before, but she ceased because she remembered his warning not to close her eyes.She wouldn't rebel. She then barely kept her eyes open.Seconds passed, but she didn't feel a heavy slap on her cheek. Instead, he reached up and brushed her hair away.Her hair brushed against her cheeks, and she could smell his musky odor again, engulfing her in a nest of softness and comfort.He scanned her face with his piercing blue orbs as if remembering every feature.Those blue eyes were like high waves in the sea, ready to take and end lives at any time. She noticed how evident and magnificent his eyes were when he stared at her intently.His gaze absorbed her. Suddenly, her depression and uncertainty dimmed, leaving only his pure and wonderful color in his eyes.However, Emily saw her reflection in them. She was a defenseless girl sitting on a hospital bed, forced to look up at her new master.She felt like crying, but she knew nothing would happen if she chose to.Suddenly, she had to stifle a soft howl as his skin touched hers again. She had never felt this before—this foreign feeling.Then, as if certain, he let go of her face, stepped back, and turned around.He was a few steps away from her when she realized that she needed to know something."Hey!"Emily was aware of her action. Calling out for the powerful Alpha just like that may lead to a punishment. However, she’s the girl who was used to it.She needs to find something. She has to know something, and she will only get those answers from their Alpha.There's no way that her father would trade her just like that. She understands about the money but there has to be a deeper reason. And she knows her role is to be her new master’s slave. She would serve him until he said so. But for how long?“I-I’m sorry…” she whispered.“A-Alpha.” It’s a little bit hard for her to say that title. Knowing the fact that she’s facing the most powerful and ruthless Alpha of all.“As your new slave. I… I will do my best to serve you. Just let me go once you don’t need my service anymore.”Emily did her best to catch his attention. However, he remained immobile. She couldn’t see his reaction because he never turned back. All she could see was his broad back.She was on her knees in the hospital bed
Set free?A well-known ruthless Alpha king like him will set her free?Emily has doubts about it. She can’t trust anyone even if she finds him attractive.“Look after her, Lilac. I’ll follow him,” Dillon said before he exited the room.When he left, the thick atmosphere loosened, and she could only see the bright smiles of Lilac and Millie.“We will do our best to help you,” Lilac stated. “At the same time, you have to cooperate with us, okay?” she flashed a smile at Emily.She pressed Emily’s hand and said, “you don’t have to be afraid. We’re not what you believe we are. Rumors about the Alpha might be true. However, you knew rumors will not always tell the exact truth,” she added.Emily nodded.“Alright, please get some food, Lilac for her, and I will run some tests on the lab,” Millie said.Emily thought she couldn’t flash a smile after the encounter with their Alpha, but the two women with her kept the vibe back, and she somehow felt relaxed.“T-Thank you,” her voice was gentle ye
Days passed so swiftly, and Emily staying in the four corners of the hospital kept her even better. She thought she couldn’t make it, but Millie and Lilac happily helped her with her fastest recovery. It’s a must. She was aware that they were preparing her until the Alpha claimed her.Emily thought about these many times during the past few days. She keeps asking herself if she will do it or not. Part of her doesn’t want to, but she’s also afraid of him. What if he kills her if she disobeys?For a moment, she also wished to have a peaceful life—she was seeking her freedom.If only her mother had been there beside her, things would be different.She’s looking for one reason to push through, and when she meets Lilac and Millie, it seems they gave her hope. They’re too kind for her. It’s been a long time since she met genuine people who show care and love for her.“I’m sorry if you have to endure all of this, Emily.” Millie’s voice pulled her back to reality.Emily let out a smile—a brig
The sun glimmered on the horizon, lighting up the blue sky; clouds were like dots in it, giving a perfect scenery. The wind swirls, making the trees sway as if they’re hailing Emily as their Queen. The expansive lawn was filled with green grasses as if it were pulling you to lay on it. A bed of different kinds of flowers surrounds the royal house.Emily was delighted to see that the place of the well-known ruthless Alpha doesn’t describe who he is. The place is totally a royal one.He is the king, after all.Emily was brought to the royal house three days before the deadline. She was guided towards her room—the Queen’s room.Her room was indeed made of unique creations. Details were added by hand, ensuring its shapes and every part. The bed, bedside table, chest, and wardrobe… it’s all inside. The room is spacious, boasting a large bed, and the wardrobe is of such dimensions that she assumes everything fits comfortably inside. The rich color of the walls reminds her that she’s not in
Days went by so fast, and Emily did her best to follow Millie’s instructions. Amidst the missing piece in her heart, she still continued to move on. She tried to forget everything about her past. Though it will take time, it will eventually vanish like bubbles into thin air sooner.At this moment, the deadline that the Alpha had given them is long overdue another week.Day by day, she’s getting better… physically. Her body is slowly coming back. A healthy body when her mother is taking good care of her.When silence covered her room, her thoughts traveled to the Alpha’s whereabouts.‘Certainly, you’re missing him,’ Leia spoke through mind link again.Emily shook her head, walked towards the window, and sat on the single couch. This has been her favorite spot since she was brought into the royal house.Looking at the view outside keeps her calm. Sometimes, she’s staring at the vast space outside, watching the trees dance, or listening to the birds as they serenade her, comforting her w
Drake was so frustrated that he didn’t know where to vent his anger. He has seen fear in people, especially in his enemies but seeing the fear of Emily; it seems like she saw him as a monster.He’s an Alpha, the king of the Blue Moon pack. The powerful of all, but he stopped just because he saw Emily’s tears?Damn it!He could feel that there was something different about the girl. He could feel a foreign attraction towards her that he couldn’t explain. What angered him more was that she was emotionally and mentally weak.Even if she looks fierce on the outside, he can’t fulfill her task if she’s fragile on the inside.“Fuck!” he growled soon as he entered the mini bar inside the royal house.He badly needed to drink a strong one to stop himself from destroying anything.He poured his glass of Spirytus Vodka and sipped on it. He sat on the couch as he savored the strong taste the Vodka drink could bring. He closed his eyes and tried to avert his thoughts from that girl.‘How could she
Dillon knew that this day would come, and the Alpha was right.The Alpha was so set on always being ready for a successor."Do you have any idea who did it?" Dillon asked, trying to figure out what else he could tell the Alpha.The man said, "We have some ideas but no proof.""Give me a list of the attacked packs and information about the people who died. I'll need it in half an hour.""Yes, sir."Just as quickly as he had come, the man was gone, but Dillon noticed that the man's eyes were on his hat for a few seconds.Good thing he chose not to say anything about it.In the past few years, lone wolves have attacked the packs on the edges of the country every two or three years, here and there. It wasn't a big deal most of the time, but it was happening more and more. In the last four months, this was the eighth attack.There was something wrong.As soon as the warrior left, Dillon saw Emily walking toward him with flowers in her hands and a strange look.“Dillon… Does this place have
“Are you sure about this, Emily?” Millie asked while she was doing a final check on Emily.Emily pressed her lips and sighed.“You don’t have to force yourself. The Alpha gave us more time to prepare,” said Lilac.Emily smiled and looked at them. “It’s okay. I’m fine. This is my body. I know when it’s okay or not.”Because the longer she stays in the pack, the longer she waits for her freedom. Even though she has already made friends with Millie, Lilac and Dillon, she still seeks her freedom.“I’ve known Drake since we were a kid. He may be kind, but he’s not the type of gentleman—”“Yeah, he knocked off even though you’re a girl,” Millie interrupted Lilac’s words.Emily let out a soft chuckle. “I can see that. He’s superior. He’s the Alpha, after all. Your King. So, he must not show mercy—” she didn’t finish her words when Lilac clapped her hands.“That’s the point. He’s ruthless. What if he will kill—”“Lilac!”Lilac’s eyes widened, making her stunned for a moment, and she turned i
Emily is walking down the aisle. It was the most magical and alluring grand wedding she had ever experienced. It was the best experience she had ever had. She dared to answer if she was about to ask about her family. She didn’t care about them at all.She is pretty, walking like a goddess in the aisle while staring at Drake, who’s waiting for her at the altar.It was a beach wedding. All the packs were invited. Drake let him choose how their wedding would be. He wanted to spoil his future queen. And he loves her for that, upon seeing her genuine smile, laughter, and how she takes care of them.I never knew this would be a magical scene in my entire life. It was just a dream for me that one day I would get married to a woman who could accept my flaws, mistakes, and my battle.I have scars; I never believed in love, especially marriage. I wasn’t able to develop feelings for other women. I was raised to take the responsibility left by my father. It was a nightmare, but it made me more ro
A month after the war ended, Drake was planning to propose to Emily. He couldn’t wait anymore; he wanted to marry her as soon as possible. Since Emily woke up from her deep slumber, he promised to walk her down the aisle.Drake was upset these few days, wondering if his stray would love his proposal. They stayed in the palace, but the proposal will be in the royal house. He prepared everything; he even instructed Dillon and Lilac to take care of everything.A victory party will happen, but it’s a proposal behind the scenes—the grand proposal of the ruthless alpha king.Drake sat on the couch playing with his son, Zeus Calvin. His son inherited his eyes; even the mold of his facial features resembled him. His son was totally like him when he was still a kid. Zeus gets his mother’s lips; soft, red rose lips, and even her mother’s hair color.“Hey, where’s everyone?” Emily asks Drake who was playing with her son, Zeus.She sat on the couch next to him and took a quick peck on his lips. S
"Touch my son; aim a gun; you’ll see hell; meet my demon and die mercilessly," Drake warned the rogue prince.Everything in the kingdom is in chaos now. Blood was scattered around. Leia and Dillon weren’t even coming. Millie and Lilac were in front of the palace, leaving a choice to kill the hunters and the rouges."Drop the gun, or I will pull the trigger and bury it in your head," Emily blurted bluntly.The prince shook his head. "I won’t drop the gun, not ever going to obey your words. " He replied, then tried his best to aim the weapon at Drake.Emily releases the king and queen. She was panting and sweating. Her defense slowly weakens as the moon starts to disappear from the clouds."Release my son," she said, her voice dangerous."Slowly, you will be going to die, future queen," the rouge’s prince spat.The king and queen were coughing, hardly breathing, while flashing a playful smirk."T-The power of the moon goddess wasn’t enough for you to be strong." The king stated, "You ar
Grunts, howls, and chirping of the rouges and hunters from the forest as they are preparing for the war. The queen and king of rouges were waiting for another scream as they thought of victory.“With the birth of the Blue Moon Pack’s heir, I am eager to kill them all. “The king of the rouges announced it as their troops started to scream.“Kill! Kill! Kill!”They are repeating every word that the king of rouges tells them. With that small victory, they were chanting. They didn’t even notice how their defenses were starting to fail.Hunters were screaming along with the rouges. They think victory comes from their group, but one of the rouges screams when the werewolves start to attack.**Drake was playing with his son in the queen’s chamber when he heard the loud banging sound of explosions, gunshots, and grunts from afar.His forehead knitted; he put his son in the crib and rushed towards the window to see where the explosions came from. Drake’s eyes went cold and dangerous as Dillon
It was dark, cold, and eerie at the palace when Emily decided to walk out of the Alpha's chamber to meet Dillon and Leia in front of the palace.She was walking in the dark. Only the lamp post outside was her only light. She hears the grunting and howling of wolves, but she ignores it like it is nothing.When Emily reaches the front of the palace, she sees Dillon and Leia waiting patiently. They weren't shocked when she approached the two and just nodded their heads."Are you ready, Emily?" Dillon asks.Emily breathes in and out. She reminded herself that it would be alright and nothing would happen because Drake gave her protection—the alpha wolf."I am not a Luna for nothing if I am not ready for war," Emily muttered confidently.Dillon was just half-smiling while Leia was silent. Emily rode on Leia's back, and they headed quickly for the forest.Emily is excited by the howling of the surroundings, but she thinks negatively. She closed her eyes, and Leia appeared."You're afraid, do
From the function hall, the elites were discussing Emily. Taurus and Cadmus were arguing about her pregnancy.I was told that your majesty couldn’t be at war! She’ll give birth to Cadmus! " Taurus argued. "It'll just signal the hunters and rouges to attack at its weak point," Taurus added."She already planned it all, Taurus." We can’t go against her plans. It was the alpha’s future queen, the kingdom's future ruler. " Cadmus blurted, seriously.Taurus just shook his head; frustration plastered on his face. "We can’t risk her, not the alpha’s heir, either of them."Little did they know, Emily was passing by the function hall, and she heard them talking about her. It looks like they didn’t trust her.She was intrigued. Her forehead creased."Are you telling me you are against the alpha’s decision?" Emily spoke behind her, raising her eyebrows.The two-faced her with shock."I-I’m not... your majesty. I was just scared about your situation. You know, you are pregnant. " Taurus tried to
"Show them a smile, my stray, but don’t show them the genuine one," Drake said, but there was a warning in his tone.Emily did what Drake had instructed.I’m not a queen. Don’t call me that. " She blurted it out coldly."But we should address you that since the alpha-" Emily cut the woman off from her words."Don’t address me like a queen when I am not even royalty!" Emily growled, annoyed.'Take it easy, my stray... let them call you queen,' Drake reminded her. You'll be there sooner or later, queen.'Emily’s heart was thumping. Seriously, Drake, don’t make me blush. I’m not joking; be serious here.’ She mumbled angrily.Drake just laughed. Oh, just let them, baby... you should talk with the elites carefully. It would be best if you weren’t rude to them. Not now. "Emily sighed. "My fault. I’m sorry, "she apologized."Nothing to worry about, Emily. We are glad that you are safe together with the alpha’s heir. We lost contact with the alpha because of something that happened to the ro
"W—Where’s the alpha? Where's Drake? " Her voice trembled.Emily was trembling and afraid when she saw that Dillon was not with the alpha. Dillon’s expression was expressionless; his head looked down at the ground; his shoulders slumped, and his hands were full of blood."Dillon..." Emily’s voice cracked. I’m asking you, where’s the alpha?!" She growled; she was on the verge of crying. "Why aren’t you with him?! What happened with the explosion? "Dillon shook his head; slowly, he kneeled, covering his eyes with his hands. He was crying; Emily felt a pang in her chest with the Beta’s reaction."The alpha was gone..." The alpha surrendered himself to the rouges and hunters. "Dillon’s tone was vicious." "I badly want to chase him, Emily... but he told me that you are the most important priority to be saved." You are his heir. ""He is important too, Beta! Drake is important, and it's a priority to be saved and alive! " Emily growled, anger plastered in her voice. "He is your top priorit
"The Rouges and Hunters are gearing up for the upcoming battle!" Bella yelled as she struggled to free herself from Dillon's hold on her.Dillon was holding back his patience; he was aggressive and infuriated at the same time.Therefore, it cannot be assumed that the alpha would permit you to enter the royal residence. Dillon let out a hiss. "Since you have the cojones to murder the heir to the alpha's throne and the queen of the future, you will be put to death!" The fire was blazing in Dillon's eyes, and they were raging crazy.They were startled when all of a sudden, they heard the deafening boom of an explosion. They did not move from their stance, and Bella smiled to herself.She spoke to me in a malicious manner and added, "I warned you, rouges and hunters are preparing." "You even hurt me, their princess," she says, admitting that she was harmed by him.The explosion continued until the Alpha, who had been communicating with Dillon through his mind, contacted him. Bella let out
