Astrid’s POV:I subconsciously covered my stomach, protecting my unborn children from Alpha’s heated gaze. He came at me with the speed of light and almost pushed me into the wall. I kept my hands between us, trying to defend myself from him.“Why won’t you let me know about my kids? Do you really think I would have hurt you because you carry my seeds?” Alpha’s fury was evident; he was not merely angry but dangerously mad at me“Yes... Because I don’t have a wolf now. Neither could I prove myself worthy of the title.” I whispered.“Do you regret having them? Just tell me this. Are you unsure if you want to live with me?” He raised his brows and kept my petite body in his cage of arms.“I love them. I have always wanted to have kids.” I smiled at the thought of four little lives growing inside me.“But not with me. You wanted a different father. Right?” His words made no sense to me.“Sometimes I think that you are crazy and delusional.” I spat. His nostrils flared, but he didn’t show h
Astrid’s POV:“Move.” Alpha ordered me while he kept fingering my wet opening. My hands caressed his bare chest, and I could feel his rough breathing.I jumped on his fingers, and he rubbed my clit with his thumb. I gasped as the electric spark ran through my spine. I was about to cum, and my eyes rolled in pleasure, but then he stopped.Despite my frustration and anger, causing me to push his fingers away, Alpha quickly caught me back in the same position.“Why did you stop?” I complained.“You need to earn it.” He chuckled.“How?” I desperately asked.“Say dirty things to me.” He bit my earlobe. I sighed at his weird demands today.“Fuc* me, Alpha.” I started, and so did his fingers on my clit.“Harder,” I said.“Who’s your master?” Alpha asked. I opened my eyes and looked at him, clueless.“What? You’re my mate. I don’t have a master.” I replied.“Tsk tsk. A master is someone who gives you pleasure and pain.” His words made no sense.“Is it better than normal lovemaking?” I asked cu
Astrid's POV:The young maid’s words turned my life upside down in a matter of seconds. I was shocked and devastated that my mother wasn’t in her chamber. What could have gone wrong? Several possibilities haunted my mind, and I feared for the worst.Another maid, who appeared to be an elder, noticed my concern and intervened. “What's wrong?” she asked with worry flashing in her eyes.“The woman—my mother. She’s not here.” I gestured to the younger maid. “She told me no one lives here. But my mother did. I visited her a few days ago.”“Oh, please don't worry.” She gestured to the younger maid. “This is a newly hired maid, and she doesn't know. Your mother was moved to the royal chambers two days ago by Alpha himself.” I sighed in relief and happiness, knowing Alpha finally decided to show my mother some respect. He had changed a lot in the past few days.After I thanked the maid, she returned a smile, then went on her way with the other maid.I hummed a rhyme to myself while walking d
Astrid's POV:I gave in to his sweet touches and kisses all over my body. Our quick make-out session ended with him eating me out as I screamed with pleasure.“I’m glad fetuses can't remember anything,” Alpha said while we entered the dining hall.“That would be horrific. Imagine them screaming about someone pounding their mother.” I laughed.Beta Alexander had his hands inside Carolina's cleavage. She was chewing grapes while her other hand was working on Beta's private region. I looked up at Alpha to see if he noticed them, and he shot me a wink.“Alexander is a man of culture,” Alpha said loudly, getting their attention.They separated and fixed their clothes. “Alpha,” Beta Alexander said, running a hand through his hair. “We didn’t think you’d be joining us again.” “So you guys made the dining hall your private bedroom?” Alpha laughed.Carolina departed, probably heading to the restroom. We took our seats, and in short order, dinner was served. When Carolina returned, she asked
**Sexual Abuse Discretion***Astrid's POV:With Gamma Patrick so close to me, I gulped and my legs shook as both fear and shock filled me. How could he be there? He wouldn't dare venture near Alpha Dominic's pack. I looked helplessly at Lucas, then turned and, like a nightmare, Gamma Patrick was grinning at me, his eyes filled with obsession and lust. All the years he had harassed me filled my mind. I retreated, but then my back hit something and liquid splashed over me. My body trembled. A woman in revealing clothes long black hair down to her knees joined Gamma Patrick, and Lucas took up a spot on the other side of him.“I just broke the mind link with her Alpha,” the woman said. “We’re safe.” “Thanks, Erenelyne,” Lucas said, smiling at her. But when he shifted his gaze to me, his eyes were vacant of emotion.“Lucas, why are you doing this?” My throat closed, tears bubbling within me at his devastating betrayal. “Don't give me that look like I backstabbed you when, in reality, I
Astrid's POV:I struggled to get away from Gamma Patrick’s firm grip on my hair while Lucas tried to help. But Gamma Patrick shot him a glare, and he backed off. I bit my lip to prevent myself from crying, vowing not to break down in front of Gamma Patrick. My desperation and fear excited him more than anything, and I didn't want to give him the pleasure.He peered at me with venom. “You’re shamelessly meeting my eyes now? You’ve forgotten your lessons.” He pushed me harshly against a banyan tree and fixed his gaze on my belly, clenching his fist. The vile look in his eyes had me fearing for my babies. A pool of anger rose inside my chest, my motherly instinct to protect my offspring. “You will never touch me again, you filthy dog!” I screamed.“My little bitch,” he said with a sneer. “I’m happy to be a dog for you. But first we need to get rid of those creatures growing inside you, then we’ll work on your language!” He swung his fist, and it met my jaw before I could move. I tasted b
Astrid's POV:An intermittent mechanical-sounding beep disturbed my sleep, and I shifted in response. It crossed my mind that Alpha Jonathan might hunt me down if he learned that I was sleeping somewhere in the palace. With a sudden jolt, I rose from the bed and opened my eyes to light that was too bright. My surroundings appeared foreign, everything around me weird and unnatural.Sharp pain emerged from my wrists, and I cried out in horror when I saw my hand connected to machine making the noise. A needle pierced my the back of my hand, and a bottle of water was attached to it.“Malessia!” I cried frantically to my wolf. “Where are we?” When I didn’t get a response, I called her once again, then concentrated on her breathing. Nothing. A hollow space filled the area of my soul where my wolf should have been. My eyes filled with tears, and my heartbeat grew loud as panic engulfed me. What happened? Where was I? I thought back to the last thing I could remember and saw myself running i
Astrid's POV:I stared at Colin for a moment. “With you?” I asked, confusion in my voice. Fear of him made me shiver, though I didn’t understand why. He was shifter like me. In the human world, I should feel safe with him. Yet, getting close to him felt so wrong that the thought made my stomach churn.“Yes, with me,” he said. “And don’t worry. You wouldn’t be alone with me. My sister lives with me, and I have a big house with lots of empty rooms. Being a she-wolf with no wolf and no memory”—he shook his head—“I fear vampires getting to you. You’d definitely be safer with me.” He smiled and then pulled a device from his pocket, one similar to what the nurse had used.“What's that?” I asked.:It's a phone… a method of communication, though nothing like mind-linking. Still, it allows you to talk to people from thousands of miles away.” He smiled again and gently patted the blanket over my knee. “I’ll teach you everything.” I nodded. What else could I do? He was my only option to survive
