Danielle jumped off terrace

Upon seeing that the beta respectfully called the person as his master, Danielle could not contain her curiosity and looked at the particular direction. The woman could not clearly see who the man was on the other side because there was a white silk curtain in the middle. Quite fancy, ain’t it?

The lady had no clue that the alpha would live such a luxury, the only type of silk she had seen was the expensive dresses. Even though Danielle could not afford those she had saved enough money to buy a decent gown for that night. And here the alpha was using the damned silk as his curtain.

Nonetheless, the woman was curious and terrified at the same time after realising that she had been brought to the alpha’s chambers. Danielle could not bring herself to conclude anything else except that she was about to be beheaded. After all, she dared to entice the count Lord Hawthorne with her antics and blood scent. Although unknowingly.

'K- king Cyrus? I have been brought here right to the alpha’s chambers?’

Danielle was unable to decipher what to do since it was totally unexpected that she would land on the balcony of Alpha Cyrus. But of course, the mere realisation raised many questions within her that why was she there in the first place.

After all, there was no way that the beta would disturb his master for no reason. And due to Danielle a count was punished and that was not a small matter. She was not going to get spared after being involved in such a terrible matter. The woman’s breath got hitched again as she could not possibly move an inch due to the chilling fear which crept into her veins.

The curtains parted a bit and a thin pale hand appeared, Danielle could suddenly feel the air getting chilled. She felt as if the time had slowed down and for some reason Danielle wished everything to go in reverse. The lady clutched the hem of her dress gown and fixed her gaze over the slowly parting curtains.

She could feel her breathing getting irregular and the air which she inhaled appeared to reek terror. The breeze got extremely colder which was Danielle’s sole fright. No doubt the winter snowflakes were falling over, as she stood in the balcony with beta Curtis behind her. Danielle could not find any way to move away from the situation.

'N- no. Is he going to kill me? No, no I can’t die here like this. This was not what I was aiming for tonight.’

Danielle assumed knowing that she was involved in unintentional provoking of Lord Hawthorne to make him commit the forbidden act. Thus, the certain action would have made the alpha king want to kill her by himself.

That was the only possible reason but it made Danielle despise the alpha even more. How could he kill her knowing she was innocent and did not intentionally provoke the count!? Considering that she instantly developed hatred along with the feeling of helplessness. The woman stood there waiting to welcome her death which was right in front of her.

Before she could say anything the silhouette of his highness appeared in front of her eyes. The alpha king who was rumoured to be unnaturally handsome was true to those words. She could see the most desirable man in front of her, Danielle could not believe that it was impossible for her to lift her eyes off him.

Danielle had no choice but to give in to the temptation in front of her. Her hazel orbs fell upon his face and she unknowingly studied his sharp features. Danielle saw his sharp nose and long lashes as the alpha appeared after parting the curtains.

'Is….is he the alpha king?'

No doubt not everyone had seen him but in that particular moment she doubted her judgement because the man in front of her could not be real.

She was stupefied to see that man in front of her with long sleek hair, which fell up to his waist and the face with a cold expression.

'Is he the Alpha King Cyrus Rhaziel? No way, is he even real!? How can someone like him exist?’

Danielle was still unsure even after seeing the man, who had been oozing a different aura.

The vibe coming from him was completely different from every werewolf she encountered in the hall. Danielle’s breathing grew even more irregular that she had to open her mouth a little not to get suffocated. The woman totally forgot about her fears of dying at that moment upon seeing the alpha with her own eyes.

The lady could visibly feel the difference between him and Curtis. Just right at the moment when the alpha Cyrus lifted his eyes up to cast a look at Danielle, she subconsciously stepped back. The aura coming from him sent a shiver down her spine that she was unable to take her eyes off his glaring golden slit orbs.

'Don't tell me today is the last night of mine in this world. The alpha is already mad at me, oh goodness I am not going to survive at all tonight.’

She assumed again and confirmed that her thoughts were true, because the cold gaze from those glaring eyes scared her.

There was definitely something unusual and strange about the alpha which she could not comprehend. But one thing was certain that Danielle was going to encounter the biggest change of her life that night. She might not have ever thought about that even in her wildest dreams.

The alpha stared at her with a keen and intense gaze, his golden slit orbs skimmed through her body up and down. It appeared that he had been confirming something the way his eyes moved and focused on everything single body part of hers.

“MATE!”

Lord Cyrus might not have thought that his mate would appear in his life at such a crucial time. However, that was not what he had expected or ever thought. His cold expressions had some mild disgust too since he did not want a filthy brothel dancer as a mate.

The alpha’s wolf confirmed to him that Danielle was his mate but there was something else too. Cyrus could not sense any wolf scent from her, rather her smell was peculiar which he had never encountered before. It made him even more curious about his hunch and he subconsciously began to question.

Whether she was genuinely his mate or someone sent to trap him, it was still a question which the alpha had to figure out. Since he was not someone without enemies or haters Cyrus could not afford the word to get out that he was gradually dying. After all, it would potentially weaken his kingdom and would give a clear chance to others to create havoc.

For that purpose he had kept his identity a secret and did not potentially appear in front of the civilians. It soon gave rise to multiple rumours of every kind, some believed that the alpha had died and the beta Curtis kept it a secret so he could rule over them. Whereas a few truly believed that they were at the mercy of the moon goddess because the alpha had practically abandoned them.

Hearing these kinds of rumours and false statements the alpha was desperate to find the counter of his curse. And now that he had potentially found a cure he was eager to test the theory and the accuracy of his hunch. And in order to do that he needed some time alone with the woman who appeared to be his mate and the counter of his curse.

"You can leave, Curtis."

The alpha Cyrus spoke to his confidant who immediately took his leave and dismissed in the thin air like a smoke. As soon as he was gone Danielle felt a chill settling under her skin. No doubt everyone else would have reacted the same way as her upon seeing the alpha, the king of the whole kingdom in front of her.

Lord Cyrus was dressed in a loose white gown which hung over his body lazily. The silk night dress had a V shaped long neckline which came all the way up to his tummy. The toned muscles were clearly visible to her naked eye, despite the fact that the alpha was gradually dying he appeared to be the most handsome hunk.

There was no possible way that a woman would not look at the man twice. No doubt the alpha was cursed and gradually dying and due to the curse his complexion had turned pale. And for that particular curse the alpha required to meet his mate as soon as possible. It was evident from his pale appearance that the alpha would probably die soon if he did not get his mate. Danielle was not sure why the man looked so desirable but for some reason her heartbeat grew faster.

She was still in her own reverie when the alpha Cyrus Rhaziel took a step forward. The alpha wanted to know first whether she was his mate or was his wolf mistaken. Danielle wanted to stop him but her words failed in the mouth and she could not utter a single thing. As much as she wanted to utter anything, the woman's subconscious mind could not bring her to say something.

After all, how could she say something while having the alpha lord in front of her. There was no one in the whole damned kingdom who would oppose lord Cyrus. Well of course, the person would definitely be in her senses. And knowing all the possible scenarios Danielle was sure that she had to stay quiet and not offend the alpha in any way.

'No, no. I can't die here.'

She muttered to herself in heart knowing that she could not escape. But the woman still had to find some solution to that situation. Her anxious green eyes were darted on his cold face as she studied for any trace of merciful gaze.

Danielle knew she had to find an escape thus she immediately knelt which stunned Cyrus and his eyes widened.

"No, please. I beg for mercy, your highness."

Her trembling lips appeared sweeter to him as Cyrus' closely saw the woman kneeling on both knees in front of him.

"Please don't kill me. I...I would never come to Belle Morte again, his highess."

She tried to assure the king with her words while bowing and joining both hands.

'What is she blabbering about?'

Cyrus thought to himself while he stood there without a clue and had no idea what to say.

The alpha sure enjoyed seeing her in that state for the reason that it made Danielle realise her worth. His ego got satisfied upon witnessing the filthy woman kneeling in front of him. How could she, someone who had bedded numerous men for just some rubies and gold could be his mate!? Alpha Cyrus did not dig into the matter assuming that there was no way being associated with a brothel would have kept Danielle pure.

'Yes, kneel. And beg for mercy! You do not deserve to be my mate!'

Cyrus muttered to himself figuring out that she did not know anything about her being the possible future Luna. The alpha could possibly guess that she was unaware about the whole mate thing. The way Danielle was pleading for mercy and was sweating from temples it was obvious that she was still stuck over the beta count Hawthorne kill.

And the certain thought put him at ease because now he did not require any major plan to torture her. The alpha could do anything now he wanted to make her life miserable and hell. The alpha looked at her intensely with his golden flickering eyes, Cyrus slowly stepped closer to her as he traced his thumb over his lips.

The alpha Cyrus was willing to do every possible thing in his hands if that satisfied his thirst and carnal desires. Because no matter what he needed her touch at every cost and had to keep his reputation too. After all, he could not afford to call a brothel dancer his luna, his ego could not bear it that his mate had already been with numerous men. Whereas he had been keeping himself for his mate who would understand his curse and the desires.

Like literally everything about him.

'I like seeing you vulnerable, beg me the same way I would like to see you in my bed!'

Cyrus gritted while the air refused to brush against his clothes or to pass by that particular balcony. The sudden chilling atmosphere made it impossible for Danielle to say anything further. All she could see was the alpha smirking at her, she could not translate his mocking grin into anything else other than her death.

The alpha's expressions darkened upon hearing the pleas from the woman who was kneeling on the cold floor. Danielle’s tears did not move him even a slightest bit that could melt his heart. If it had been anyone else they would have given in to her tempting looks. Cyrus could clearly see her tears rolling down over her exposed cleavage. The alpha could only gulp down his rising carnal desire because he did not want to give in to the succubus in front of him!

But he hesitated to take a strict action over her or attempt a cold behaviour with her, the alpha wanted to punished her for appearing as his mate. However, the way he had planned to execute his punishment was the most unnatural method. The alpha wished to lay a finger on her first to figure out if he could feel the spark from her or not. That was the utter indication of Danielle being his genuine mate but the woman appeared to be shit scares of his presence.

Cyrus took a step towards her but a pungent scent made him halt while Danielle fell back on her butt in fright. Of course, after witnessing that frightful reaction he leaped at her. Danielle immediately assumed that the alpha Cyrus would eventually kill her. And for that purposes he plunged towards her using his supernatural speed.

She stared at his handsome face when the alpha embrace her into his strong arms. A small pearl crawled down from her green eyes on her pink cheek and travelled down towards her cleavage. It made her appeal to him as the symbol on his forehead shone bright red and Cyrus' eyes glowed bright golden as he felt the spark. A surge of energy ran into his body as if he had been fed some powerful drug which enabled him to recover within seconds.

Seeing his iris changed into a slit lens and a blood red mark appearing kn his forehead, Danielle knew she had to save herself. Or at least die less painfully since and alpha’s bite was the last kind of death one would choose. As soon as Cyrus bared his fangs Danielle consciously pushed him and without hesitating she jumped off the balcony!
