Venus's POV

I watch as we successfully send off the moonstone baton to the next werewolf pack so that they can celebrate the next Full Moon as their own Full Moon Festival. And our pack has to wait for another year to celebrate it once again.

I catch the scent of salt and the ocean. I turn around to find Edna Adams. Her gray eyes warm as they look at me, and a smile so gorgeous that I can definitely say she is prettier than me.

"Future Queen," Dorian bows to her and if only he knew what I am to Alonso!

"Oh please. I am not one yet and that's still a long way," Edna smiles at Dorian, pushing a few strands of her blonde hair away from her face.

"I am bored. And everyone in the pack house told me that the King is especially close to you," Edna pauses as she takes my appearance in,"Beta"

Something about her screams differently. Because there is no way a girl can be this soft. And she has everything sorted in place. Her attire, her hair, her posture.. as if she had been groomed for this all her life.

"Alpha and Beta, obviously you can expect that," I say, afraid I held up the conversation too long for people to start noticing.

"Gamma Dorian!!" I hear someone scream from behind and Dorian walks away as he bows to Edna once again.

Edna tilts her head towards the pack and I nod, taking the hint. We are at the borders now and I still have no idea how she found me. Unless she caught my scent, which is impossible because even though werewolves have a distinct smell.. When we are not connected to other wolf through bond or pack, one cannot smell them by their own unique smell. For example now I don't have any bond with Edna or her brother. So I smell them both as Salt and Ocean, that describes their pack.

Edna walks at an incredibly slow pace, either to irritate me or she is asked to walk that way. Or maybe, she has another motive.

"What does your King like?" Edna asks me, breaking the thin ice between us at the moment.

"He likes his space," I answer without taking an extra second to think about it. She might think I am just being sarcastic, but it is what it is.

I cannot be nice to a girl who just came into the picture out of the blue to marry my mate! He has an excuse to give but I don't have one to listen to.

"I don't know anything about him. And I am just pushed into this political marriage for a life debt. I don't know how it's fair on his part or mine," Edna starts rambling and I got stuck at one point that she mentioned just now.

"I am sorry, come again?" I ask her again and she looks at me, blinks her eyes once totally taken aback by the base of my voice but that's least of my concerns.

"Life debt?" She asks me back and this time, I am the one doing the blinking with no talking thing.

"Yes. Apparently that's the reason my father gave me at the very least," Edna says again.

The pack with the largest Naval Fleet. Life debt. Alonso is The King with no second in line or heir apparent.

Oh no. Was that what he wanted to tell me the other evening before Edna came along and I left? But this doesn't make sense. How does Alonso's father owe a life debt to Alpha John Adams?

The distance between our two packs is immense and it usually takes a person a two day travel to go from the capital pack to The Ocean Howlers Pack and vice versa.

"I am sorry I cannot accompany you at the moment. But I will see you around. You need a friend, obviously" I give Edna a fake smile that she so graciously caught on but chose not to say anything.

I didn't wait for her to say something. I stormed off but turned around just once to see if she was still there or already gone. And I am surprised to see that she is now walking at a steady pace. There's no one around and she is not walking slowly anymore.

I turned around and started walking just when I sensed she was about to turn around. If this is all something strange, then I don't want her catching me this fast.

I moved all around the pack trying to catch Alonso's scent and it led me to the pond. The place where we last talked to each other a night ago.

"I thought you had nothing to talk about anymore. Other than the Beta stuff," he says as he slowly turns around to look at me.

His scent of musk and citrus is making me and my wolf go crazy. Even though his marriage was publicly announced, neither of us still decided on rejecting each other.

"I gave my wolf a name," I tell him, trying my best to beat around the bush until I am sure enough to talk to him about the main issue.

"Dawn," he says, totally surprising me.

"I remember you naming your blonde doll as blondie and your white pet cat as snow. So I figured you would name your wolf Dawn based on her bright orange fur," he smiles a little.

I am at a loss of words at this point. I realized I do love this man. Maybe the mate bond kickstarted this feeling in me and maybe I have had this in me all along. But I do love him.

And that is the moment I decided that I am not going to back off that easily. This man is my mate and I would do anything to find a loophole in the rules or whatever shit our ancestors wrote.

When Alonso glanced at my lips before looking at my eyes, that's when I also realized that the feeling is mutual. So I did not waste another second before grabbing him by the collar of his shirt and pulling him towards me for a kiss.

    Alonso's POVIt took me a couple of seconds to get back to normal time again. I froze up as soon as she pulled me in for a kiss. The first second, I thought I was dreaming. The second second, I was processing. And by the third second, I was already kissing Venus back. My left hand is on her waist, and my right hand at the back of her head pulling her impossibly closer to me. And for a minute, I don't care where we are standing. I don't care who might see us. I don't care if everyone from the pack is staring right at us. But this moment, where Venus is kissing me.. that is all I need. Sadly, she pulls away from the kiss but her eyes are still closed. She takes another moment before opening her eyes. Her brown eyes are still the prettiest eyes I have ever seen. And the more I stare at her eyes, the more I am falling in love with the color brown in general. "I didn't know it was a life debt," Venus whispers and how she got to know, I have no idea. But at least she got to know about it

    Venus's POVMy entire body feels so ignited and Alonso didn't even do anything yet. He just touched my bare skin and I felt so many emotions that I had never felt before. But before he does anything more, he gently cups my ass and taps twice. I took the hint and jumped up. Alonso caught me and I wrapped my legs around his torso. He walks towards my room. And for once, I feel glad that we have known each other since we were kids. He doesn't need me to tell where to go and what to do. "Other than consent even though you are his mate?" Dawn giggles in the back of my head. Alonso is a gentleman that way, I guess. To wait until I gave him my consent to proceed. We did go intimate here and there but never the sex level intimate. So this is killing me now. Knowing that I will be having sex with Alonso Naylor in a few minutes. He opens the door by himself with my back facing the room, and my face buried at the nape of his neck. His scent of musk and citrus is literally making me and my wo

  • Alpha King's Beta Mate    Chapter 8

    Alonso's POV I am mentally still at Venus's place. My tongue has the lingering taste of her, when I sucked my fingers as soon as she hit her orgasm all over my hand. I still cannot get the picture out. The way her body reacted to my touch, the way she moaned my name, the way she screamed during her release, the way she fell asleep just minutes after all of that. My father clears his throat, bringing me back to the harsh reality. I just gave him a stern look. It's been a while since I smiled at him. I don't know if I am more angry at him or more disappointed. I guess both. My father tilts his head towards Edna who is also at the dining table, chewing her potatoes in a soft manner. With every bite she is taking, her left hand goes in front of her mouth muting whatever faint chew noises that somehow got away. Venus wouldn't have cared about it if she had a plate of potatoes before her. She loves potatoes and often ate mine and Dorian's too, when we were kids. "How was your day, Edna

    Venus's POVI stare at Edna, not even attempting to look guilty. For hell I care, I will rip everyone's throats who ask me to stay away from my mate. "Oh My God," Edna's hands are now not cupping her mouth anymore. Her right hand is an inch away from her face and her left hand is on her heart. How is she doing everything so elegantly.? Was she groomed to be this way since the beginning?? Because even though she is an Alpha's daughter, she was supposed to be trained. Especially since she has a twin brother. When there are more than one Alpha child, the pack goes to whoever wins the title duel. And the duel doesn't necessarily have to end up with killing because after all they are siblings. But they have to win it by pinning the other one down. So considering that, she should have been trained for combat and duel. But she doesn't look like that at all! Something feels strange about it. "What is happening here?" Edna asks again, and her face is slowly showing signs of calmness. Tha

  • Alpha King's Beta Mate    Chapter 10

    Venus's POV I lift Dorian up, grabbing the collar of his shirt and he shrieks once before he twisted my wrist and got out of my grip. Now Dorian and I are growling at each other, moving in a perfect circle, waiting for the opponent to strike first. The crowd around us is going wild. We are having a weekend war. Everyone in the pack who gets training done everyday participates in this. And they usually go by ranks. Alpha King never participates in this, because if he enters the fighting rink, then no one but him would emerge victorious. His power exceeds all of our pack members' powers combined. So I am always stuck with Dorian, being next in line to me. "Afraid again, Dorian?" I smirk at him, and then wink, making him lose his cool for a second. He raises his arm, aiming for my ribs but his movements then get too predictable that just after a minute, he is already on the ground, groaning with pain. Dorian was the one who taught me many of these fight skills, but the Beta blood i

    Venus's POV Dorian didn't let me go, and didn't let his hand get off my face either.. until we reached a safe distance from the fighting grounds. And as soon as he let me go, I kicked his leg making him scream in low case. "Ow! That hurts but you have a goddamn reason," Dorian says, hopping for a minute. His werewolf might have healed it in a second. He is being just as dramatic as I can be with him. "Is there anything you want to tell me?" I ask him, even though a theory has already formed in my mind. I just want him to tell me about it instead. "He is my mate," Dorian says in a bare whisper. Never mind. All the theories I formed in my mind literally jumped straight out of the window. Cole is Dorian's mate? Dorian is gay? How come I never knew that? Well, maybe because he doesn't act like the stereotypical gay person. "And before you say something, let me tell you all about it," Dorian says. He goes on and on and on about how he found this on the day of the Full Moon Festival

    Venus's POV"Edna and I are coming to the training grounds. So if you and your mate are doing something scandalous, I suggest you stop it now asshole!" I mindlinked Dorian real quick as Edna and I walked towards the training grounds. It's been three days since Michael asked me to train Edna. The first day, she sulked that she doesn't have proper outfits for it. The second day, she screamed that she felt ill which was fake. And the third day, Michael himself gave her the fight outfits to which she couldn't say no to. And here we are now. This is the first time I am seeing Edna in something other than her dresses. She is feeling a tad bit uncomfortable and it shows. The tunic and workout pants are hugging her body nicely and boy oh boy she has a great body! Edna was always seen dressed in long sleeve dresses so I haven't seen much of her skin other than the neck, face, hands and a bit of a cleavage here and there. But now with the tunic on her and her arms on display, her skin looks

    Alonso's POVKissing Venus is something I would love to do for a lifetime, and still never be bored doing it. Her scent, her soft skin, her low moans, the way she tugs at my hair, everything about her is making me go so damn crazy. "I love you," I whisper as I kiss her belly button. She moans a little as I lick her all the way down to her thighs. "I love you Alonso, please" she is already squirming under my touch. But our session stopped abruptly when there was a knock on the door. It took me a second to catch the scent since the door is closed and the scent isn't traveling freely through the air. It's Dorian and he is now pounding the door. Both Venus and I cannot escape now. He will catch my scent and it will be thick in the air since I am still here. "It's okay. One day or other we will have to do this," Venus says as she puts on her clothes. I do too, rather quickly. And by the time Venus opens the door, I am sitting on her bed, fully clothed. But Dorian's eyes are screamin

    Third Person's POV..Three years later. ..."Oh come on now! It's time" Alonso screamed at the top of his lungs but no one seemed to care what he wanted to say. And he was only growing more frustrated with each passing second. Venus agreed to mark him back after three years of solving all their problems. And today is the day they killed John Adams three years ago. "It's Dorian's birthday tomorrow. I am just wrapping up a present for him," Venus screamed back from their bedroom. "Is that really necessary, love?" Alonso asks her even though he knows that she misses her best friend."Of course it is," Venus said, finally opening the door so Alonso could get in. Cole and Dorian are now the Alphas to the Ocean Howlers Pack. Cole is the Alpha by his right after his father passed away. He still doesn't know how his father died. He only knows that he died. And the fact that he never tried to know told everyone pretty much the backstory of it. There was a huge ruckus about the Alpha

    Alonso's POVI sit before John Adams who doesn't have any idea that I cracked the code. Or he knows but is not ready to act so. I instantly understand I am standing in front of the man who is probably the most dangerous person I have ever encountered. He was right in front of me all the while and I never knew. He was right in front of my family and they never knew. Because he made sure he touched the topics we were supposed to think about. About the wedding. About the political alliance. About the life debt. He successfully dodged the subjects of everything else. In a way that no one had a doubt. When Venus and I were talking about the camp and attacks and everything, he offered his help. So no one could doubt him. How would someone even doubt him when he just offered his freaking help? So did Edna know all the while.? "How is my daughter?" John Adams asks me and I raise my eyebrow at him. "Are we talking about Edna or Marissa?" I asked him and just like that, he stopped reading

  • Alpha King's Beta Mate    Chapter 101

    Venus's POVThe rest of the journey to the Ocean Howlers Pack went by a blur. Because no one said anything. No one spoke anything. The story Michael said spoke volumes and I guess now everything is falling into place. That was why Michael was forced to give his word. The life debt. The one John Adams used to get his daughter on the throne. I never knew John Adams had a son before Edna and Cole. So for the last two years, we had been celebrating the life of John Adams's son. Not Alonso's brother. And Alonso's memories were wiped of because he stared into the red fire. His memories slipped out of his body through the blood tears that day. Now that is a lot to take in. And before we knew it, we were in The Ocean Howlers Pack. We all stepped down and people were partially shocked to see Theo without the chains and everything else. Because technically he was taken as a prisoner. They half expected that he would get executed as soon as he reaches the capital pack. And people bowed to A

    Theo's POVMy eyes go wide when I realize that the hen was Edna. I didn't know when it happened. The last time I saw Edna was when she was in the clearing along with everyone else. And then Roger or whoever the fucker he was, struck Marissa with a silver knife. I rushed to the hospital along with Alonso and then I was shifted to the prison again according to the rules and regulations.I didn't know Monica turned Edna into a hen. Why did Edna even get down from the carriage in the middle of a fucking war! As soon as the carriage stopped back at the same spot again, I got down from the carriage and looked for the hen with white feathers. I feel Marissa behind me probably searching for the hen too. It didn't take us all ten minutes but Monica found the hen. The hen is sleeping under a tree with her beak so red she might have eaten berries or something. Typical Edna things for sure. I smile as I take the hen in my hands. I honestly can't believe this is Edna that I am holding. We all s

    Alonso's POV "John Adams?" My mom asks me with shock clearly written on her face. Now this is something even she did not see coming. Everyone in the room is shocked. Except for Monica and me. Because this is something we both knew from the beginning. "Are you going to hide things or are you going to tell your kid about that man now?" Monica asks my father and I look at him. What is there about John Adams that I should know about?"Get the carriage ready. We'll go there and we are going to talk about it on the way," My father says and his expression is something else as he looks at me. "Is there a carriage that fits like ten people? Because we are all going to go as we get to know about the past. And it is going to be one nasty ride," Monica says. ....We didn't have a carriage that fit ten people. But in the short time that we have, all we did was join two carriages as one and break one side down so it's open. And then joined the two sides and made it into one big carriage th

    Alonso's POV I sit with Venus and watch her fall asleep once again. Give it to her to fall asleep at any time, and any situation. Marissa is with Monica and even I didn't see it coming that she could be a witch. Even Monica seemed to agree with me when I told her that I see John Adams in her. I tried bringing up that topic with Venus but she just didn't see it that way. For a while I thought maybe I was reading too much between the lines. Venus stirrs in her sleep but I keep her head on my shoulder so she can still sleep conveniently. Her drool is on my shirt now and I smile a little. Apparently Monica restored the spell again and she said she made a few changes. I don't know what kind of changes, but I only hope she is sure about them. When the doctor finally walks out of Dorian's room, that's when Venus wakes up and is on alert mode. The doctor bows to me first and then her. But there was a smile on his face when he was bowing to Venus."Gamma Dorian is awake. And he is perfectly

    Monica's POV I sit at the table again, with the hen in my hands. Venus didn't want to let go of the hen only because she doesn't know who this actually is. A bowl with rice grains flies out of the kitchen and lands in front of the hen. The hen starts eating the rice and I look at the kitchen, waiting for it to give me something. "Oh so now you are disrespecting me again?" I ask her and there is no noise. And when I am about to scream once again, a glass with cold water lands in front of me. I raise my eyebrow at it and look at the kitchen again. "Where the fuck is my morning tea you stupid!" I scream and a cup of tea flies out of the kitchen again. I roll my eyes and take a sip of my tea. The hen is about to finish the entire bowl. And I realize the entire pack might not have eaten dinner. Because the ruckus has happened during the dinner and everything stopped after that. I take a few deep breaths as I get rid of the papers strapped to my thigh. And I pull out the potions I stu

    Monica's POVI flip through another page of my spellbook when someone knocks at the door. The time is odd and I would usually sleep right now, but somehow I chose to stay awake to go through the spell books. I need to find a way to get to Renee. That bitch is my daughter but she is just as powerful as I am. I can't even get a grip of her. If she does the blood rite, it brings greater evil into this world and I am so not ready to face all of it once over again. I looked through the orb when I heard the knocking in this unusual time. And I see someone from the capital pack. Not the Alpha or The Beta or Michael themselves. I ask them to come in and they walk in but in their wolf form. I am at least happy that they remember, I am not fond of humans or the human side of the supernaturals. "What is it?" I ask him in a deadly sick tone. The wolf just moves his head a little. And I see a note hanging in his neck. I carefully grab it, being careful not to touch the wolf. "We need you, Mo

    Venus's POVAlonso holds Marissa as she falls down while I rush forward to grab Roger. He fucking turned into a mist. It's like I am trying to hold the air before me. I scream in frustration and turn around to find Alonso already throwing Marissa on his shoulder. He is rushing towards the hospital with a team of doctors running behind him. Everyone is here and probably a few nursing staff stayed behind at the hospital to nurse the already existing patients. I stayed back at the clearing. Now it's dark but the werewolf sight is helping me look at everything in a clear way. Linda and Michael are standing in the middle, scanning the surroundings again. "If Roger took Dorian's form. Then where is Dorian?" Dawn asks me and I look around once more. Where is Dorian? And how long did Roger stay around as Dorian? "When was the last time you talked to Dorian? Did he sound or seem suspicious??" I ask Cole and he thinks for a moment before shaking his head. "I was talking to him an hour ag
