"You will marry Alpha Dean! Do you understand?!"
Uncle Alejandro's voice was deep and firm, enough to stop me from opening the door. Probably my sister Diana pleaded again.
Its been two days since our uncle announced the wedding of my sister to Alpha Dean, the alpha who lost his wife a few days ago, and until now, I still can't believe our uncle's decision! Alpha Dean is a death sentence! He is known as the most cruel alpha in the entire continent! Yet, I can't do anything to help my sister.
"Make sure you look good tomorrow! I don't want any unnecessary problems!"
After does remark, I heard footsteps, a signal for me to turn the doorknob. "Uncle Alejandro..." I greeted with a smile on my face. I make sure that he won't notice the annoyance and anger that I hide. If he finds out that I don't agree with the marriage, surely he will lock me to my room until my sister is taken away by the bastard Alpha Dean.
"Blossom," Uncle Alejandro uttered with his usual strict face. He looked at the tray I was holding.
"Diana did not eat her dinner since she is busy preparing for tomorrow's event." I uttered before uncle asked anything. Perhaps he also knows my sister has lost her appetite after his announcement. He just walked and passed, without any warning as he usually does.
"Sis..." After Uncle Alejandro was gone, I quickly approached Diana, placed the tray on the side table and sat next to her on the bed.
"Blossom... what should I do? You know I don't want to marry Alpha Dean. I can't marry him...but Uncle Alejandro—"
"Uncle don't own you! Diana, its your life and if you don't want to marry that bastard then don't! You have the right to choose to marry the one you love." I cut her words. Although my advice is far from the truth because we both know our uncle, the alpha of our pack can make all the decisions for the two of us.
"Blossom, you are right... In fact I really do believe that our lives are in our hands," Diana responded. Her eyes are clouded by the suppressed tears "... However, there are times when you have to forget this belief–because in reality, our life is destined to this pack and our fate is held by the superiors... So –"
"Run away! Go with him and leave this place!" the word just came out of my mouth. Although our life in the pack is restrained, it cannot be said to be bad. We have everything we needed, that's why running away never crossed my mind. And as long as we are unharmed, we can wait for our mates to get us out here.
Diana was surprised, her eyes widened and remained speechless. "Blossom..."
"I have an idea... This is what we gonna do." And it seems, Diana accepted my suggestion because he immediately nodded and sincerely listened to my 'idea'.
The idea I'm talking about is simple... Diana will pretend to be a maid to leave the mansion while me–I will prepare all her needs... A few clothes and huge amount of jewelry and cash. Then, I will also make sure that no one will notice Diana is no longer in her room and to insure that, I will stay behind and make some commotion to divert everyone's attention to me.
......... Two o'clock in the morning"Blossom, are you sure you want to stay? You know uncle Alejandro's attitude... I'm afraid he will—"
"Shh... uncle Alejandro can't do anything to me that he hasn't already done," I uttered with confidence while opening the back door. "Stop worrying me and focus on what you need to do..."
Diana hugged me tightly before taking a step. "Once we settle down we will contact you," she muttered before walking away.
When Diana was out of my sight, only then did I return to my room. I knew for myself, I needed a rest because the next day—I was going to face a terrifying alpha. Certainly, uncle Alejandro will not believe that I know nothing about Diana's escape. But I'm ready... No matter what he does, I won't betray my sister.
.....
A loud thump echoed in my sleep, along with a hard shaking of my shoulder. 'Damn it! I didn't expect uncle Alejandro to go to this room so early!' I couldn't help wincing because of the pain of my hip hitting the floor.
"Blossom! How dare you scheme behind my back!" uncle Alejandro roared as my body fell to the floor.
"Ouch! Uncle Alejandro, what are you talking about? Will you please calm down and tell me what is going on? What did I—"
"Where is your sister! You talked to her last night! I know you know something, so tell me everything!"
"I won't say anything because I don't know anything!" I responded firmly while staring straight at uncle Alejandro. At that moment I didn't feel scared, maybe my brain was still asleep.
"No one can defy me and everyone knows that! You and your sister are ungrateful! I make it lear that this marriage is for the good of the pack and your sister still chooses to run away!" Uncle Alejandro's voice is cold but calm and this kind of voice is more terrifying for me.
"Listen to my command! From now on, I denounce Diana to the pack and now she is a fugitive!! Uncle Alejandro's voice echoed throughout my room "And you, Blossom— you will take her place! You will marry Alpha Dean!"
"What?! But uncle! You can't do this to me! I cant marry Alpha Dean! Uncle please, take back your command..." I uttered as my hands quickly moved to Uncle Alejandro's arm.
That plea of mine just flew in the air, my hands that were holding uncle Alejandro were pulled away by him forcefully. My pleading gaze was only met with a cold gaze.
"Stop resisting and get ready! I want you to be perfect in everyone's eyes!" After this remark, uncle Alejandro turned around and left the room.
As soon as the door was closed, I quickly ran and made sure the door was locked. 'Finally! This is my long awaited opportunity...'
Fina POV.Upon deciding to use Aries' money to fulfill Eliza's dream of traveling the world, I, make it clear to the two women traveling with me that they too are entitled to a share. I tell them that wherever we are in the world, without exception, if they want to take their part of the money and separate from me, they are more than welcome to do so.And so, our journey begins, with my net worth sitting comfortably at the upper end of six hundred million dollars. We look over Eliza's itinerary to decide where to start our adventure.We take a private jet from the local airstrip to the old JFK airport in the NYT (New York Territory). Because Dean has always wanted to see Times Square, we stay in NYPT for a few weeks, soaking in the sights. While there, we visit a renowned travel agent who helps us prepare for the trip: we get vaccinated, obtain our passports, learn the ins and outs of currency exchange, and shop for essentials. With everything set, we embark on our journey to South Am
The organization known as the "Royal Werewolf Council," formerly the Royal Central Bank, rose to power as the dominant global government in the aftermath of the Great Werewolf-War. They spearheaded the reconstruction of local government infrastructures worldwide and reorganized the planet's workforce. By channeling investments into these efforts, they also developed a new currency and trade system. It became evident, however, that these investments were part of the Royal Central Bank's long-standing and devious plan. For over a century, they had meticulously orchestrated a scheme to gain global control through manipulation and strategic foresight. Their machinations led to a catastrophic war by providing aid to any country willing to adopt their centralist banking system. By doing so, they patiently awaited a conflict that would persuade nations to turn against one another. As each country became embroiled in conflict, alliances broke, and trade partnerships soured under the manipula
Jovielyn always cherished the arrival of spring. There was something enchanting about a cool spring afternoon, the gentle breeze weaving through the newly sprouting leaves, rousing them from winter’s harsh grip. Magic seemed to linger in the air during this season, which revealed itself on the day she met Virgilio.On that particular day, Jovielyn was by the lakefront outside the castle walls, absorbed in her philosophy book while savoring the fresh air. The castle wasn’t her home back then; it belonged to the Knight family, whom she had never encountered face-to-face—until that day.Virgilio led a group of men on a training run around the lake. She noticed them from across the water but remained unfazed, lounging on the grass beneath a willow tree that draped over the lake. Unbeknownst to them, she was there when Virgilio, at the helm of the exercise, accidentally stumbled over her.His companions continued running, laughing at the scene, but Virgilio stopped, feeling the need to apo
Blossom POV As I entered the dining room, my heart raced at the sight of Alejandro in the midst of a business meeting with a group of dubious-looking individuals. He seemed entirely caught off guard by our unexpected arrival. A smile flickered across his face as he muttered something beneath his breath, waiting for us to approach. With a façade that was more unsettling than charming, he nervously ran his fingers through his mustache and exclaimed, "My lovely niece and her Alpha mate! How delightful to see you both! It feels like an eternity since we last met." Dean, not one to tolerate his pretense, interjected bluntly, "Even that would be far too soon." I couldn't help but chuckle at my mate's humor, but I quickly focused on the real reason we had come to Alejandro's home. I glared at the man who had once wielded enough power to manipulate me, the man who had stolen everything from both me and Diana for his self-serving gain. Alejandro had become the bane of my existence, and now
Blossom POV The steamy air of the villa's shower enveloped us, a sanctuary of warmth and intimacy. Dean and I had teleported here before picking up our son, a desperate need for cleansing outweighing everything else. We stood together, the hot water cascading over our bodies, washing away the remnants of a nightmarish ordeal. It was the first time in ages we'd shared a shower, and the intimacy of it was intoxicating. Dean's hands, rough and strong, traced the curves of my body, a silent language of love and longing. I, in turn, ran my fingers across his solid midsection, a familiar comfort that ignited a fire within us. We were a whirlwind of emotions, a symphony of desire and desperation. The remnants of the night clung to us, a grim reminder of the horrors we'd faced. We scrubbed away the blood, the brain matter, the unknown fluids that had stained our skin. The thick soap lathered our bodies, a cleansing ritual that transcended the physical. It was a shared experience, a testam
Blossom POV In just a matter of seconds, the atmosphere in the courthouse transformed dramatically. The once-bustling room was now filled with an eerie stillness as everyone present found themselves completely paralyzed by my voice. Just moments before the Primary Elder's heart would have collapsed within his thoracic cavity, I abruptly halted my song, sensing the urgency of the moment. Dean then stepped in, his voice adopting a firm yet fatherly tone as he addressed the assembly of Elders. "You have a choice, Councilmen," he declared, his presence commanding attention. "You can either come forward, bow before us, and kiss our feet, renouncing any semblance of power you believe you may still possess—this is a courtesy we are under no obligation to extend to you. Alternatively, you can relinquish all the minuscule authority that resides within your frail, sagging bodies right here in front of everyone assembled today. You have ten seconds to make your decision. Choose wisely. Ten."
Blossom POV "Baby... baby!!!" I exclaimed in a frantic voice, slapping Dean gently across the face while pouring water over his head in an effort to jolt him awake. He finally sat up, a dazed expression crossing his features, and I could see that everyone present at the tournament stared at him with an incredulous blend of astonishment and curiosity. It only took a moment for him to realize his vulnerability, the reality of his complete nudity hitting him hard. He turned to me, confusion etched on his face, and asked, "What happened?" "You got tangled up in a clinch with Tristan over there," I explained, my voice steady, though I was bursting with emotions. "He managed to break away and put you into a headlock. You refused to tap out, and the moment you lost consciousness, you shifted. I was terrified—you almost turned Tristan into your next meal. Thankfully, after shifting, you seemed to remain out cold, but it looked like you were trapped in one hell of a nightmare." As I assess
Blossom POV As the referee signals the start of the match, Dean adopts a loose but balanced stance to counter whatever strategy this man may employ. His opponent firmly squares up in a southpaw Muay Thai stance and begins to close the distance slowly. Determined not to be overpowered right away, Dean begins to hop around a bit, attempting to distract the man and disrupt his line of sight. However, his efforts prove ineffective; the man stays locked on him, advancing steadily with resolve. Recognizing that this competitor will not back down easily, Dean makes a split-second decision: he mirrors the man's Muay Thai stance and braces himself to absorb the oncoming jabs. Utilizing his slightly larger build to his advantage, Dean manages to clinch with the man, forcing him to the ground. Once both men hit the floor, Dean gains a dominant position, achieving full mount before spinning around to take his opponent's back. It quickly becomes apparent that his challenger lacks proficiency i
Blossom POV Several of the men who have gathered here tonight show little interest in assuming a leadership role. Many of them are elderly war veterans who have transitioned into political positions over the course of their lives. Dean takes the initiative to approach them, inquiring whether they would like to take on the role of referees for the matches. To his delight, most of them readily accept the offer, as it allows them to remain actively involved in this significant event. They genuinely appreciate Dean's inclusive approach, which values their experience and contributions. With everything now set into motion and every participant prepared, the first round of combat begins. Dean has decided that he will join the matches during the third round, as he is presently occupied with assisting Caleb in organizing the matchups and deciding on the proper measures for when the sun sets. As I watch, I observe Dean glancing towards Caleb, who is smiling as he surveys the crowd and the f
