Thank you for reading.
Rex. I walk into the damp dungeon with Reece and Zane in tow. My nose wrinkles at the stench of urine and filth that hangs in the air. It smells like something had died in here. The dungeons were used by our ancestors to punish criminals in an inhuman way. The walls are made of stone and you can see the occasional water trickling down from certain spots in the wall due to the poorly done work. It has a very long passage holding cells on either side with small silver bar gates. There are archways every hundred steps with mini passages connecting to the main one. I had delayed seeing Max because letting him sit in a dirty place for a day or two was a worse punishment for someone like him. He is proud and thinks he's better than others because of his grandfather’s former status. He wouldn't survive in such a rough environment and just as I expected, he broke and requested to see me. I had no plan of releasing him but he mentioned something that piqued my interest so here I am. A
Gianna. A smile crosses my lips as I ascend the stairs, heading to our bedroom. I can't stop thinking about what happened earlier. How Rex had opened up to me. How he had told me about his fears. He trusted me with his deepest secret and it meant a lot to me. To know that he sees me as someone worthy of seeing and knowing the real him. I felt some kind of special. It's not always that the future Alpha King, the Alpha of Alphas shows you his weakness. The thrilling feeling intensified when I talked to Lily and found out I had misunderstood their conversation. I didn't hear the whole conversation and concluded by making up my own stories in my head. That's all she told me though. She said it wasn't her story to tell and honestly, I was being unreasonable by giving her attitude. There was no reason for her to tell me about her cousin’s ex-girlfriend and if she was important, he would have mentioned her to me before we signed the agreement. I open the door to our bedroom and imme
Gianna. Rex’s eyes blaze red as he watches me take his massive length into my mouth. My core throbs with desire at the unmasked primal look in his eyes. A low groan from him makes me bob my head faster, fervently moving up and down his shaft, taking more of his cock into my mouth as much as I can while my hand works the part I can't reach. I swirl my tongue around his shaft, licking and teasing him. Oh yeah... he tastes so good. “Fuck, Gia!” His voice is a low whisper but it sounds so sexy. A delicious ache settles in my core as it throbs with indescribable need. “That’s it, baby girl!” Rex says, his voice so low that if I wasn’t a werewolf, it would have been swallowed by the sound from the movie. I don't know what came over me. I just knew that I wanted to taste him, the way he tasted me. Doing it in here is risky but knowing we could get caught is somehow fueling my passion, making me want to do more. Rex twists his hand around my ponytail and begins to guide my move
Reece. For the first time in my life, I was defeated during a sparring session and it was done by a sexy as fuck female warrior. Rose Carter is a formidable warrior. Ever since she joined the team, she had done exceptionally well until she was promoted to head female warrior and I wasn’t surprised when Rex made her one of the future Queen’s bodyguards. She deserves it. Her skills are up to par with the strongest male warrior in the pack. She’s not stronger than me but she still knocked me down with one blow to my head. Zane had asked me to join him for a drink in the City but I didn’t expect him to come with other people. I was shocked and kind of ashamed to see Rose after recalling how she knocked me down three weeks ago and broke my nose. I have been avoiding her ever since. ~Flashback: Three weeks ago.~ I am addressing the new recruits today. As soon as werewolves interested in becoming warriors get their wolves, they must join the team and begin their training until they
Rex. I plan to ask Gianna if she would allow me to mark her. I want to get rid of the contract so that we can be real mates from now on. It’s a risk I’m taking but one I’m willing to take. I love her. Heart, body and soul. I know she's been hurt by her fated mate and is probably scared of love like I once was but I'll reassure her that I'll never hurt her. She returns from the ladies’ but something’s wrong. Her face is ashen and she looks disturbed. Frightened even. She sees me and forces a smile that doesn’t reach her eyes. “Let’s go.” I frown, grabbing her shoulders and making her look at me. “What’s wrong? Did something happen in the ladies’ room?” Something akin to fear flits through her eyes and my eyebrows furrow at this. “N-no. Nothing happened. I just want to go home. I’m tired now.” I nod and reach for her hand before walking out of the club. The other guys will find us once they are done having fun. We reach the bike and I lean over to kiss her but she evades
Gianna. “Hello, Gia. It’s me. Your father.” My breathing hitches and my heart races when I hear his voice. “D-dad? How did you get my number?” I feel the knots in my stomach tighten as dread creeps into me. I was afraid of my father. He was supposed to be my protector but he was the one who hurt me the most. A parent is supposed to look out for their pup. To defend, provide, teach and support them. To love them no matter their form because they made them. How can you abandon someone you helped make? Even if it wasn't from love but a pup has a part of both parents living in them. How could he bear to see me suffer? Did he not love me? He let the pack and his mate bully me. He abandoned me because I wasn't what he was expecting. But what hurt me more were the injuries he inflicted on me. The abuse I suffered from his kicks broke me till this very day. I can’t help but wonder why he’s calling me. Is it because I am now close to Rex, the future Alpha King? His chuckle breaks me
Rex. “Alpha, where have you been? We’ve been looking for you.” Reece and Zane say the moment they see me and I pause when I see the worried looks on their faces. A sense of unease settles in the pits of my stomach as I think of the worst. “What’s wrong? Did something happen?” My stomach twists when they evade my gaze and I know something is definitely wrong. “Speak!” I growl. “The Luna has gone missing and we’ve received a note,” Zane reports. Fear creeps into me at their words. I feel numb as they hand me the familiar note and when I read it, my whole world comes crashing down on me. ‘Follow the clues if you want to save her. Come alone. Bring your Beta. She’s dead. Bring your warriors and leave them to lurk in the darkness. She’s dead.’ A menacing growl rips out of me as I glare at my two most trusted men. Where the fuck were they when Gianna was being kidnapped? “How did this happen? Why didn’t no one protect her?” I snarl viciously, anger threatening to consume me.
Gianna. Looking at the masked man in front of me, a sharp pang of pain hit my chest when realization dawned on me that my father used my yearning for my mother to lure me out. The knots in my stomach became stronger. This betrayal felt like a powerful roundhouse kick in the gut. I knew my father hated me but to call me with the excuse of my mother being alive so that I can get taken by Rex’s enemies to save himself was the last straw. From today onward, I have no father. I would rather think of myself as an orphan than have such a selfish man for a father. If he cared about me even a little, I would understand why he did this. But to him, I'm simply a useless Omega and he couldn't wait to give me away to the enemy even though I had already left his pack. He probably didn't want to be associated with me in any way so he brought me here for the enemy to kill me for him. “I want your man to come and save you. And then I’ll kill him.” Those words from the masked man echoed i
Rose. “I met my mate too last night,” I say as we walk into our room. The high-ranked werewolves have bigger rooms in the packhouse. Reece, being a Gamma, has a big room. There’s a large bed in the centre, a small living area on the right side, a small kitchen and a bathroom area. It's like a mini apartment. We just came back from our mating ceremony. The Alpha officiated the ceremony. After deciding to get mated right away, a small ceremony was quickly arranged for us by the Alpha Queen. I was ok with not having a ceremony but the Queen insisted saying it was important. And she was right. It felt good to say our vows and mark each other in front of everyone. I proudly held my man and sank my teeth into his neck, showing the whole pack that he belongs to me. No one will ever question my relationship with him because the whole pack witnessed us getting bonded. We are now mates for life... one heart, one soul and one mind. Reece stops when he hears my words and looks down at m
Rose. A stab of pain shoots through my chest and I take a step back. My heart squeezes painfully, feeling like it's been ruthlessly ripped out and run along a grater, shredding it to pieces. It turns out my happiness only lasted a few hours. I was so delusional. Did I think I could really keep him? I watch as Reece stills as Amber clings to him, his eyes wider than saucers. Didn't he say he would reject his mate? Were those empty promises? My eyes turn blurry and I dash into the packhouse. The only place I can be right now is my room. Being outside, the full moon will be a painful reminder of what I’m going through. Even though I've run away, a part of me wants Reece to run after me. To choose me over Amber... But she’s his soulmate. Will he be able to resist her? I don't know anyone who’s ever tried and succeeded. I spend the next few minutes sitting at the foot of the bed. My heart is banging violently against my ribcage and I keep glancing at the door. Why isn’
Rose. Weeks later and I can’t seem to take that night off my mind. The way he touched me… the way he kissed me… Oh goddess, I can still feel his tongue on my pussy, his fingers sliding in and out of me and I desperately wish it was his cock. Why did I run away? He was right there, ready to be with me and I fucked it all up. So what if he has a mate? A little play wouldn’t hurt, right? It would. Because my feelings for Reece are so intense, even I don’t understand what I’m feeling. We’ve been meeting at the training grounds but I’ve been avoiding him like the coward I am. I’m afraid that I may start to hope for something that cannot be. He’s not mine. He belongs to another… but why do I feel this strong pull towards him? I'm drawn to him like a moth to a flame... my thoughts are filled with his face and I dream about him all the time. I’m seated on a bench in the gym as I watch him train. With male warriors, thank the goddess. Reece seems to have put that bitch, A
Reece. Why are we women so complicated? One short-haired feisty girl to be exact. She’s been on my mind ever since she had my dick down her throat. I’ve been thinking about her… secretly wanting her. I did ask her to be mine but I was rejected mercilessly. Even though she broke my heart, I haven't stopped loving her. She consumes my thoughts every day and all I want is to make her mine. But she won't give me a chance. Heck, she won't even let me go close to her. She's been on guard ever since I asked her to be my girlfriend. Avoiding me as though I am a disease. To be honest, I did notice that Amber was flirting with me. I was about to push her away when I saw Rose glowering at us. To think she was jealous made my heart soar so I let Amber be to make Rose jealous. But it seems I had shot myself in the foot. My feisty kitten was so angry that she pushed me away and now wants nothing to do with me. When I heard there would be an outing tonight, I was ecstatic. Any opportuni
Rose. My eyes flash as intense anger rips through me. How could Reece let another woman touch him like that? Is there something going on between them? “Excuse you, Rose. Which man are you talking about? Don’t tell me it's Reece. He hasn’t met his mate yet,” Amber taunts, folding her arms across her chest and I feel like closing the gap between us to rip her throat out. Her voice irks me. Her whole presence gets on my nerves and yet, I’ve only been in the same space as her for a few hours. A low growl leaves my lips and I’m about to reply when I suddenly come back to my senses. I meet Reece’s eyes and his confused expression makes my stomach knot. What the hell am I doing? What right do I have to act like a jealous mate? With a pounding heart, I turn and dash out of there like it’s the plague, feeling mortified. Oh no… I just made a fool out of myself. What was I thinking? The wind blows through my eyes and it stings. Why didn’t I notice how windy it was until now? I’m runnin
Rose. The worst thing that can happen to a shifter is falling in love with someone who is not their mate. The fear that them meeting their destined is just a full moon away… the fear that the bond will be stronger than their feelings for you. This has always led to many heartbreaks and that’s why it’s a nightmare for someone who falls in love before meeting their mate. Werewolves in particular have been blessed with mates by the moon goddess. Once an adult werewolf finds their mate, they become one with that person. This bond is so strong that many have failed to defy it... thus, it is not advised to date before meeting one's mate to avoid unnecessary pain. This is my current situation. It’s different for others who fall in love and then later discover they are mates. I had met Reece during several full moons, and the mate bond didn’t click in. So I know for sure that he doesn’t belong to me and it sucks because I’ve fallen for him, hard. The pain that is usually feared is in
Hailey. I can proudly say I’m spoilt rotten by my mate. We’ve been at the penthouse for a week now. And during this time, Zane kept pampering me. He showered me with lots of love and care, making me so happy that my jaws hurt from too much smiling. He would take me out for dinner or lunch. And then we would go site seeing or watch a movie. He would get me whatever little things I want. Back at the penthouse, he would cook and do the dishes. He would step into the shower with me and help me wash. He practically worshipped the ground I walked on and I’ve never felt more special. Who knew I would get myself a man who looks at me the way one would look at a delicious cake? He makes me feel wanted… desired… craved. In his arms, I feel like a woman. I can't imagine I almost made myself a miserable woman by getting mated to the wrong guy. Happiness is free as long as you find the right guy. It is possible to be the most loved woman in the world. Zane has shown me that. The way
Zane. I was almost late. Something had happened in the past few days. A certain pack was attacked by rogues so we had to offer help. This was why I didn't immediately chase after Hailey when I found out about her mating ceremony. I didn’t expect the war to take several days. By the time I was returning home, it was already the date for Hailey’s mating ceremony. I was afraid that I was too late and I had lost her. What if she had already moved on and fallen in love with Alpha Sebastian? My heart was in my throat but luckily, the Alpha King and His Queen were on their way to attend so I hopped into the car with them. I told them my plan of stopping the mating ceremony and they were in full support of my decision. We were indeed a bit late and the ceremony had already commenced when we crossed the Eastern pack's territory. My blood boils as I glare at Alpha Sebastian who is glaring back at me. He was about to sink his teeth into my mate! If I was a minute too late, she would
Hailey. The dreaded day has finally come. I keep staring at my phone, hoping for a miracle even though I know Zane wouldn’t call me. He’s never contacted me since I left the Central pack. But I know he knows the mating ceremony is today. An invitation was sent to The Alpha King, Rex Cooper and his mate, Alpha Queen Gianna Walter. Since Zane is his Beta, he definitely knows I’m getting mated to someone else today. I won't lie. It hurts that he hasn't bothered to reach out to me. Does he hate me so much that he wants nothing to do with me? Has he already moved on? Or found someone else? My stomach twists and turns at the thought. I regret accepting Zane's rejection. What was I thinking? Now I'm stuck. What good is a position of power if I won't be happy? Perhaps I should just run away and become a rogue. Sebastian promised to let me study medicine in the human town after we are mated and I’ve given him an heir. He sure is considerate but he’s still not the one for me. I just
