Alessia's POV
I follow Adrian out of the living room of the Alpha's apartment, not knowing where I'm going to. He pulls me by the hand, as we are about passing through the main door, he stops all of a sudden without any warning. He shoots his deadly glare at the groups gathered.
I watch as they shiver in fear, with Phoenix the most afraid. I see it all from his eyes, which are shifting from one end to the other, his girlfriend also tries to avoid gaze with him. I thought he was after them, until he decides to speak up to them.
"Stevania, make sure your servants bring Alessia's belongings along. From today, she's staying with me!" He says as sort of an order. I'm amazed at how he called the Luna who is old enough to be his mother by her name, then I remembered he is the one ruling all of us. His dad, the Lycan King is just an authority by name only, Adrian is the one doing the main administration. In our world, rank matters, not age. You have to submit to a higher ranking werewolf no matter if you are many years older.
That's what Stevania just did as she rose up and bowed her head in submission. I smiled to myself, she was thinking of enslaving me, stopping me from going to college as long as Adrian is here with us but her plan is failed.
Adrian pulls me by the hand again, we pass through the door of the apartment. A car is parked outside of the apartment, the latest model of Toyota. "Enter into the car!" Adrian orders, more out of anger from the event that just happened than a command for me.
I intend to ask where he is taking me to but that audacity isn't there, he's way too high in rank for me to even speak to him with my face raised up to look at him, if the Alpha can't be related with as I like, then the lycan prince deserves much more honor.
I'm lost in thoughts as I stand beside his jeep until a calm but warm touch brushes my left shoulder, I'm immediately awoken from my deep thoughts. I look and it's his palms.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness." I bend my knee to kneel and plead for his forgiveness when he immediately holds by the hands, the piercing scorch of his eyes burns on my skin, making me want to melt. I wish the ground will just open up and swallow me, for the first time my eyes really collided with his at close range.
"Don't be afraid of me. I won't hurt you."
I'm lost staring into this eyes of his which are holding me captive. Without saying any word, he guides into the front seat of the car with the door being held open by him for me to pass through. Amazement pulls through my veins to see an lycan prince do this to me, not just an Alpha.
"Go in, I'm the one telling you to go in. Remember I'm not just an ordinary Alpha nor a prince who is just aimed at claiming superiority. I care about the rights of the low ranking members particularly women."
I arch my brows in surprise, part of me yields to delight. I can't believe that he has just given preference to women. I gulp down the saliva in my mouth.
"Now go in. There is no much time!" I can't stand seeing him angry, to avoid this, I immediately jump into the car, he closes the door and walks over to the other side, opens the door and gets in. He closes it back and starts the car without even looking at me, his eyes are stern and fixed on the steering before him.
"Where is he driving to?" I ask inside me, not daring to ask him this.
"To my apartment!" I hear him say, this gets me shocked. "But I was just saying this inside of me?" I throw another question at myself.
"You still refuse to talk to me?" I shake in horror at this question.
"I don't mean to.....Your Highness!" I respond with my face shaking, glancing towards the floor of the car.
"Look at me!" He orders, I do but wouldn't be remaining the same again as I feel a cool shock and feeling run through my veins, a feeling I have never felt before. It links up with my nerves, before I realize, I'm already having a sensational tinkle on my core.
"What's going on?" I ask my wolf, this time around praying he doesn't detects what I'm saying inside of me. Lycans have the special capability of listening to what people are saying in their minds, but only if they choose to pay attention.
Adrian's POVI wonder why she is so afraid of me upon knowing I wouldn't hurt her, I'm only trying to help her, to make sure she has a safe place to live. Where she lived before now was the den of lion, if Phoenix doesn't breaks her, surely his girlfriend would do and I don't want to see any Omega suffer.I drive her to the apartment I came from still in the estate, which is wide and large like a college campus. I've been given the most beautiful block in this estate but it's also the farthest, secluded from other blocks with a flower garden and beautiful fence, a solid golden gate. From seeing this, I'm pretty sure it has been reserved for a great guest, perhaps myself.At first sight of this apartment, a two storey building, full with servants and maid's upon my arrival, I became so impressed but none of these domestic aides did I got personally impressed by, I need someone like a personal side I can trust, a chef and guide especially as I'd be attending college tomorrow. A lycan pr
Alessia's POVHearing him talk about meeting the Alpha and Luna gets me anxious, I begin to wonder why he wants to have a meeting with me. It can because of me. There is nothing that will make him want to meet people he got angry with and left when the meeting was still on hold outside of me.My thoughts would be verified if he invited Alpha Phoenix and his girlfriend as well but he might just see them as lower, he is too superior to talk with them, either way it must be about me.I stand on one corner of the room thinking about my fate, then what Phoenix did to me, the rejection and public harassment replays in my head, tears starts to stream down my eyes to my cheeks."Have you forgotten you are before your prince?" I hear a commanding voice sound before me, I shift in horror. My eyes clears to reveal him standing before me. He moves closer to me, from where I decide to take a step backward. I need my own personal space."What's making you cry?" By his tone and facial expression, he
Alessia's POVI'm so amazed to be asked out this way by a lycan prince, of all lycans, he is choosing an Omega like me to ask out. No matter what, I know that there must be some secret intentions which is making him to ask me out. A prospective lycan king doesn't goes for a chosen mate in the wolf world except those who are getting older like in their forties who believe that they would not be meeting with their fated mates again.It's assumed and henceforth believed to be true that if a lycan prince or king goes for a chosen mate when he isn't old, then there is some secret he is trying to hide from the chosen mate and his people. Adrian has some secret before he would come to choose me as a mate. I don't deserve such.I look lost as I sit on Adrian's legs, I wouldn't let him lead me the way of doom by not asking why he wants me as a mate. 'A man's beauty shouldn't lead you to damnation!' This is one of the favorite cliches mom uses to say and since then I've picked it into my head.
Alessia's POV"Ask your Alpha and Luna to tell you." He responds with indifference in his tone, from here, I'm forced to look at Alpha Aaron and Luna Stevania, the sinister motives they had for me is still evident by the way they keep their faces."Alessia, I think you would return with us because we at danger if you don't get mated to our son who is soon to be Alpha of the pack, your dad will soon hand over to him!"I look at her like a piece of trash, but not too obvious. "How about Gracelynn, ma'am?""Why are you going by ma'am in addressing her?" Adrian casually asks because it isn't common to find a werewolf calling another werewolf, a Luna ranked by any other name apart from what she is. Even in the offices, they go with the titles of Alpha, Luna, Beta and Gamma, only the Omegas like me are called by their real name by the superiors."No, nothing." I smile, waving my hand."That's how she has always called me!" Stevania mutters. The next thing I see is Adrian taking his fist tow
Alessia's POV Even upon arriving in college, Adrian's mood hasn't changed despite the varieties of things I have done to ease him. As we arrive, it's thirteen minutes past eight, we are thirteen minutes late and I can attribute this lateness to the change in his mood, which made him a little slower in doing things. We are supposed to open the door, to go off to our respective duties but Adrian refuses, his face changes and it seems he wants to cry, seems like this but I know he would never do that. You hardly see a lycan cry because they are not only stronger in body and wolf, but in heart, the only thing capable of making them cry is the loss of a loved one. "Alessia.." "Yes, your highness." He pulls his hand towards me, and looks at me straight in the eyes, tears drain off it, in a flash, he wipes them off such that I begin to imagine if it was a dream or real. He places his right hand on my laps, brushes it, I would feel strange if it was before the romance, but I feel se
Alessia's POV Oh I remember now....... "Yes, he is my fated mate," I repeat this time with so much confidence so that no one of them detects the difficulty that I'm passing through. They would certainly laugh if they knew I attributed him as my fated mate because of one thing or the other when it's not so. This is a personal issue to reinvestigate. "I have no much time for you guys." I say this before I take off them, placing my phone beside my ears so it looks I'm in some important girls, it's an urgent case I need to go away to attend to. The truth is I'll find one place and take a seat, then I'll have to message Adrian of what I'm doing so he wouldn't go directly to the lecture theater without me, of course, he was looking for someone who would guide him through being new here. I'm making this entrance, if possible with our hands entwined. I eventually find a seat at the side of the water fountain in the college garden. I take out my phone from my bag which I had placed into af
Adrian's POV After classes, I wanted meeting up with Phoenix to confront him about his bullying my mate together with his girlfriend but I learnt that he returned home to have an important meeting with his parents and the pack elders. The pack elders are the Alpha makers, they are in charge of establishing a new Alpha in any pack. I learnt before now that soon he will be crowned the Alpha but who cares, I have no such time for him. Whether he is the crowned Alpha or not, I'll still give him what he deserves. I naturally hate him for being a bully, I came to see the bad side of him, which from there started making me hate him with so much disgust. If I can't get to see him today, tomorrow is going to be another day. Way into driving into the street that leads to the pack estate, I receive a call, it's from no one other than my dad, the lycan king. Something really important must have come up, before he decided to call. He doesn't just lies calling, particularly as he is getting older
Alessia's POV I remain in the chambers after Adrian went out to check he site of his new estate after his supervisor informed him of an urgent need. While watching the TV, my mind goes off to think of what just befell me, the decision of the lycan King. Everyone knows how powerful he is and how his words are sooner or later executed. Adrian has never let anything worry him, but I can see how worried he is in this case, even as he was going out. I yawn, feeling tired and frustrated, there's no how I can return back to Phoenix, he has a girlfriend he loves already and besides he doesn't loves me. I wouldn't be able to fight for love from a man, even though he is my mate. I rise up from the couch and head to the bedroom, which is part of the chambers. Like a heep of wood falling off a platform, I drop on the soft bed, moaning in pains, emotional pains. At other times, dropping on a soft, fluffy bed like this would bring out a sweet, blissful moan from me. Today is quite different. I h
Adrian's Pov I wake up early, my mind filled with a newfound clarity. Today is the day I finally make a decision, a decision that will change everything. As I slowly get out of bed, I can't help but feel a mix of nerves and excitement. I take a deep breath and remind myself that this is what I truly want. Walking downstairs, I find my children already awake and eating breakfast. They look at me expectantly, their innocent eyes filled with hope. I can't help but feel a pang of guilt as I realize they've been through so much because of my indecisiveness. "Good morning, Dad," my son greets me, trying to hide his worry behind a smile. "Any news about Mom?" I give them a warm smile, trying to reassure them. "Actually, kids, today is a special day. I've made a decision, and it's time for us to bring your mom back home." Their faces light up with pure joy, and a weight lifts off my shoulders. I realize that this decision isn't just for me; it's for our family. I want us to be whole again
Adrian's POVI wake up to the morning light filtering through the curtains, blinking away the remnants of sleep. As I turn to my side, my heart skips a beat. It's Alessia lying next to me, her peaceful expression contrasting with the turmoil inside me.Memories from last night flood my mind, the intensity of our encounter still lingering. I can't deny the connection we shared, the passion that ignited between us. But it was just one night—a night that I never expected would leave me feeling this way.I run a hand through my hair, my thoughts spinning. How did this happen? How did I go from not wanting her near me to feeling torn between accepting her or letting her go?Alessia stirs beside me, her eyes fluttering open. She blinks a few times, adjusting to the morning light. When she sees me, a soft smile tugs at the corners of her lips."Good morning, Adrian," she says, her voice filled with a mix of uncertainty and hope.I swallow hard, trying to find the right words. "Good morning,
Alessia's Pov Alessia files a report to the Supreme Council saying, she has already rejected Phoenix, since it was a matter of choice in the first place, they honored her decision and said she was to stay with Adrian after six months, when she forwarded the message from the council to Adrian, he said he doesn't wants her. Her next option was to live her life alone, not hoping of getting love again or meeting her kids until one day, at a luxury club house, both got drunk, the man took her to his house and they had sex.I wake up in a daze, my head pounding with the remnants of a wild night. The room is unfamiliar, and as I try to gather my thoughts, memories flood back in hazy fragments. The luxury club, the man who took me home. We had sex. I groan inwardly, feeling a mix of regret and confusion.I glance around the room, taking in the elegant décor and expensive furnishings. The man who brought me here must be wealthy, or at least well-off. But why did I end up here? Why did I let m
Alessia's Pov On her way back, she heads to their room only to see him sitting naked and romancing with another naked lady, they were touching each other's genitals and caressing sensitive spots, kissing and all that. (She spent up to like thirty minutes watching them silently through the doorhole, so describe the intense sexual activity here, make it hook the readers, its what they like) Out of anger which she can't bear again, she pushes open the door and drops the diamond portrait of their most romantic picture which they snapped for the birthday. The glass coverage of it breaks and the diamond stones fall out. Phoenix is shocked and frustrated at being caught She rushes out of the room, estate and of his life.I can't believe what I just witnessed. The sight before my eyes was like a stab to the heart, a betrayal that cut deeper than any knife. My whole body trembled with a mix of anger, hurt, and disbelief. How could he do this to me? How could he throw away everything we had bu
Alessia's POV As I hear the persistent rumors swirling around about Adrian, I can feel my heartache growing deeper with each passing day. It's becoming increasingly difficult to ignore the whispers and the constant reminders of the life we once shared. But deep down, I know it's time to let go. I have to move on and focus on the present, on Phoenix and our future together.Today is Phoenix's birthday, and I'm determined to make it a day he'll never forget. Despite the mixed emotions coursing through me, I decide to put all my energy into planning a celebration that will bring him joy and happiness. I know he deserves it, and I want to give him something special, something that will make him feel loved and cherished.With a sense of purpose, I make a mental list of all the things I need to gather for the birthday celebration. I want it to be perfect. Determined to surprise Phoenix, I set out to find the items that will make his day unforgettable. I head to the local market, searching
Alessia's POV:I've been carrying this burden inside me for too long, suffocating in its weight. The rumor about the nanny's affair with Adrian has taken a toll on me, and I can't keep pretending everything is fine. My sleepless nights and constant state of sadness have caught Phoenix's attention, and he's determined to find out what's causing my pain. "Alessia, please tell me what's wrong. I can see how much you're suffering. I want to help you, but I need to know what's going on.Phoenix said to Alessia. "Phoenix, it's complicated. I don't know where to begin. It's just... there are things I've discovered, things that have shattered my trust. Alessia hesitant."Trust? What do you mean? Are you saying you don't trust me? Phoenix in anger. "No, Phoenix, not you. It's... it's about Adrian. Alessia replied. "Adrian? What does he have to do with this? Phoenix said with surprised. "Rumors have been circulating that Adrian and the nanny were involved in an affair. I confronted Adrian
Adrian's POVMy heart begin to pounds in my chest as I storm away from the pack estate, leaving Phoenix and Alessia behind. Anger courses through my veins, fueling my every step. How could they betray me like this? I trusted Phoenix with everything, and he took advantage of my absence to seduce Alessia once again.As I reach the palace, my mind is consumed with thoughts of revenge. I won't let them get away with this. Alessia may be the mother of my children, but I refuse to be tied to her anymore. I'll raise the kids myself, far away from the pack. They deserve better than a father who can't trust their mother.Days pass, and I immerse myself in my duties as the Alpha. The responsibilities of ruling the pack keep my mind occupied, but deep down, the pain lingers. I can't help but wonder if I made a mistake by pushing Alessia away. Was there still a chance for us? Maybe I should have confronted her instead of storming off in anger.One evening, as I review some pack documents in my st
I can't believe I'm finally heading back to my hometown after all these years. The excitement bubbles inside me as I clutch onto Phoenix's hand, feeling his warmth radiate through my fingers. My parents and I have only spoken on the phone until now, and the thought of seeing them in person fills me with both joy and nervousness.We walk side by side, our footsteps echoing on the familiar path leading to my childhood home. The memories flood my mind, and I can't help but share them with Phoenix. I recount the games I played with the neighborhood kids, the secrets shared with my best friend under the old oak tree, and the adventures I embarked on in the nearby forest.As we approach the doorstep, my heart races. I take a deep breath, exhaling slowly, trying to calm myself before ringing the doorbell. The door swings open, and there they are, my parents, beaming with delight. Tears of happiness well up in my eyes, and I throw myself into their waiting arms, feeling their love and warmth
I take a deep breath as I step foot into the Luna's residence once again. It feels both familiar and strange at the same time. The grandeur of the mansion and the memories it holds flood my mind, but this time, there's a difference. This time, I have my children with me.Adrian, my estranged husband and the Alpha, made it clear that during this time, he is not to bring another woman into his house. He knows the circumstances under which I returned, and I can only hope that he will respect my wishes.As we settle into our new home, people from the pack start to trickle in. They come bearing gifts, eager to welcome me back as their Luna. Their warm smiles and kind words touch my heart, but I can't help but feel a sense of guilt. I know I am just a temporary presence in their lives. Soon, I will have to make a decision, and it weighs heavily on my shoulders."Thank you all for your warm welcome," I address the gathered pack members. "But I want you to understand that I am not here to sta
