Chapter 4: Alpha Draven

Mia’s POV

Alpha Draven ignored Luna Helena completely.

He stared at me, his eyes cold and commanding.

I looked back at him in a daze, my mind racing to comprehend the situation.

So, the man who took my virginity last night was…Alpha Draven?!

My sister Veronica’s possible fiancé?! God! She would kill me if she ever found out!

And Alpha Draven was as hideous and frightening as the rumors said… Although his cock was indeed absurdly huge…

“Alpha Carl.”

My handsome savior spoke up in a freezing voice.

“I’ve visited some packs, but never have I seen their Luna shouting and hitting people the moment I walked in. Your welcome ceremony is indeed unique.”

Helena was too terrified to say a word.

My father took a deep breath and forced a smile, “My deepest apology, Alpha Draven... The living room is ready with refreshments. Please, come in.”

Draven snorted and strode towards the living room. 6 soldiers followed him, each as tall and muscular as their Alpha. My father and Marcus looked like teenagers next to them.

Luna Helena strode over and pinched my arm. I gasped in pain.

“Why did he help you?!” she hissed.

“…I…I don’t know…”

Probably because we slept last night. But I would be dead if I told her.

“Don’t flatter yourself by thinking that it meant anything! You were just in his way. He pulled you up without thinking!” she darted me an glare. “Now, get in there and serve us tea!”

I hurriedly obey.

Alpha Draven was already seated on the sofa when I came in. His soldiers stood like giant towers behind him.

Luna Helena was talking to him in a fawning voice:

“Alpha Draven, how was your journey? Did you find any girls you like in the previous pack?”

Draven sat there, his expression indifferent.

Even with my head lowered, I could feel his piercing gaze following me, making my heart race.

Everyone noticed his gaze. My father swallowed, “Alpha Draven…”

Draven suddenly reached out one hand and grabbed my wrist.

With one hard pull, I fell onto his lap.

…What the hell?!

I was startled and quickly jumped up.

In panic, the teacup fell from my hand and shattered on the floor with a loud noise.

“IDIOT!” Luna Helena jumped up immediately. “Get the hell out of here, useless girl!”

I hurried to leave, but Draven grabbed me again.

“Stay,” he ordered forcefully.

He was holding me so tight that I couldn’t move. So I stood there awkwardly.

If looks could kill, Luna Helena would have killed me a thousand times over.

“Alpha Draven, you probably don’t know this, but she is the daughter of a prostitute, a filthy little whore!” Helena said through gritted teeth. “She was out selling herself out last night! She might give you the herpes if you let her touch you!”

“Last night?” Alpha Draven raised an eyebrow.

I closed my eyes in despair.

…Please stop, Luna Helena!

But she was still yammering:

“Yes! She stayed out all night and came back with sex marks all over! The man who fucked her must be a broke homeless himself. He couldn’t afford pricy services, so he went for a cheap, street whore like her.”

Draven let out a cold laugh abruptly.

“The one who slept with her last night is me.” he declared icily.

The whole room lapsed into a ringing silence.

Luna Helena’s mouth fell open in shock, “But… but… how…”

“Do I look like a homeless with herpes?” Draven narrowed his eyes dangerously.

“Of course not! But I thought…no man would like Mia…since she is so stupid and ugly…”

“I like her very much.” Draven said arrogantly, tightening his arm around my waist. “Maybe the men in your pack are all blind.”

Helena opened her mouth to say something, but my father stomped on her foot hard.

“We’re truly, truly sorry! We didn’t mean to judge your private life…” my father said, wiping the sweat from his forehead. “We all know why you’re here. You need a Luna and are visiting every pack to choose…”

“So, do you have any suitable she-wolves?” Draven asked nonchalantly.

He never glanced at Veronica the entire time, as if she were invisible to him.

My father replied humbly, “My daughter Veronica would be a great choice for you, with her status and beauty. But just two days before you arrived, she found her partner, so unfortunately—”

“NO!”

Veronica suddenly stood up, cutting her father off loudly.

Her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes sparkled when she looked at Draven. She was like a high school girl in love.

Ignoring Marcus’s panicked expression beside her, she said loudly to Draven:

“Alpha Draven, if you would consider me as your Luna, it would be my honor!”

Everyone was stunned, especially Marcus.

He stared at Veronica in disbelief, his face pale.

“Veronica!” He shot up, clenching his fists. “What are you saying? We talked about this—”

“We didn’t talk about a damn thing.” Veronica interrupted him, sneaking a glance at Draven, blushing.

Marcus cried out, “What the hell?! You said it yourself that if I broke up with Mia, you’d be with me! How can you do this to me...”

“Shut up!” Veronica snapped, “I’m the Alpha’s daughter! How dare you shout at me?! You’re just a lowly soldier! You shouldn’t be here in the first place! OUT!”

Marcus stood froze, his face filled with humiliation. He looked pleadingly at my father and Helena, but their expressions were icy.

“Leave, Marcus.” my father threatened.

Marcus dropped his shoulders in defeat and turned to leave, head lowered.

I looked at his back, unsure whether to feel sympathy or triumph.

“As I just said…” Veronica immediately continued, “I would be honored to become your bride, Alpha Draven.”

Draven sneered, “Really? Haven’t you heard those rumors? My 8 dead wives? I can tell you for sure, they all died because of me.”

Helena let out a low gasp.

Veronica’s face turned a bit pale, but she insisted, “I’m nothing like them. I am a highborn. My wolf is strong. You and I will be happy together forever.”

Draven let out a strange chuckle as though he was laughing at her optimism.

Then he directed his cold gaze upon me.

“Let’s talk in private, little wolf.” He said with a smile.
