LENA’S POV.

“Lena!” The Alpha king’s cold voice had called, causing me to tremble.

“Your Highness,” I responded, trying to act as calmly as I could as he approached me. He had a stiff frown on his face, and it worried me. It was not time for me to tend to his bed, but it didn't seem like he was here for such a thing as that.

“I believe you are free right now?” He asked and I nodded, gesturing that he take his seat, my mind racing through a million of my thoughts as to why he was here.

“Did I do anything wrong, my lord?” I asked; I didn't like Marcellus in a terrible mood; it made every nerve of mine set ablaze.

“How is the training going along?” He asked, taking me by surprise, My eyes were boring into his.

“What training?” I asked, trying to recall what he meant, yet nothing had popped up.

“Fiona's, I made it clear to you that you began her lessons about pack duties, did I not?” He asked, tapping his fingers against his sides; he did that when he was often pissed. I swallowed a visi

    MARCELLUS POV.Perhaps I made it too obvious, or maybe it was right on cue; I didn't care as much when I approached Lena or blurted out those words. She always said it wasn't the first time like she claimed; I never bothered to correct it. Due to Her family's influence, she went about calling shots and making orders as she deemed fit. The only reason I never stopped it was quite simple. It had been absurd and a necessity; if they wouldn't stand for themselves and talk back against her ill-treatment, then it was none of my business. I had always been a man of principle, yet it baffles me to see how since the first day my Fiona had stepped into my life; I changed my principles.Walking through the doors to my office, I could see my beta. Standing with an anxious look on his face.“For fucks sake I never get to catch a break,” I grumbled, seated behind my desk,“It's the elder of councils. They've called an impromptu meeting. They all await you in the hall at this very moment, “ Trev

    MARCELLUS'S POV.Sneaky bastards, how dare they?I sank into the sofa, lighting up a cigarette for myself, taking a long time before relaxing all the tensed muscles I had in my body at the moment. “What do you intend on doing?” Trevor inquired sitting right next to me, I shrugged, rolling my eyes before taking another puff.“Just as I claimed, I'll have to throw out a competition in the air. We both know all he's aiming for with his Lena being the Luna. I responded with a shrug, the words rolling off my tongue with such heavy bitterness.“Smart, you know...” Trevor asserted, trailing off to the ends of his words.“Look here, I know she's smart, and I know she's got the face, brains, and all, but Lena isn't the type to just pass out power; she isn't even Luna yet and she's causing a ruckus amongst all the other mistresses. Besides, there's no way I'll give that old geezer the satisfaction of having half of the pack,“ I snapped, taking another puff. My eyes settled on the ceiling, and

    MARCELLUS’ POV.“You may all leave,” I ordered once more; they seemed more stunned than I expected them to be. After all, everyone always believed Lena would top things, and at this moment I could see how dazed she was, driven to silence, and I could see her eyes almost from their sockets from fear.She was doing a great job holding her pain in., not like I cared after all; I would have my way in a bit. I watched them all scurry out of the waiting room, Darla and Fiona in the last row.“Except you, Fiona”. I ordered her and her feet stopped to a rather long pause; she exchanged gazes with Darla, who only passed a smile in her direction.“ I'll leave you both, I'm happy you made a choice.” Dark asserted before making her way out through the door. I fought hard to have a smile tucked in; Darla had a way with words, her guesses running wild. I haven't made a decision yet; how on earth had she made me think I was in any way interested in keeping Fiona to myself?“For fuck's sake, look at

    FIONA'S POV I Got a twisted feeling when he had asked that I stay back. He said nothing, but I could feel his gaze creep into my body. My heart, however, had skipped beats in a row hearing those words.I swallowed a visible lump in my throat seeing his huge fucking cock even in its partially hardened state stare at me; I knew it was wrong, and I looked like a pervert, but I couldn't avert my gaze from his size.It was huge, fucking huge. I had seen it three times already, but this once I was sane, not drunk, not in tears.Wanting to know if this was a mere bluff of his, if he was only testing my courage I was curious to see how he would react if I didn't back down; if I stood firm to my words, what would he do?An insane urge and need to know pumped through my veins. I reached for the cock,; it was becoming harder, the skin soft against my warm palms.“There, see how it twitches in response? You fucking turn me on, Fiona… It reacts like this to you alone;” he breathed out, his eyes

    MARCELLUS'S POVThe excitement in her eyes made it even harder for me. I watched as she seductively bit on her lower lip while she batted her eyelashes innocently in my direction. She knew what it was that I meant, and I had no time to spare for jokes.I pulled her closer to me, my left arm wrapped around her waist and the right one on her lips.“You are everything to me,” I whispered as I grazed my lips over her earlobe; she whimpered a little from delight as I nibbled on her earlobes.I pulled away from her, feasted my eyes over her body in a needy manner, and she drove me insane by every bit, each piece of sanity in my head, that was no longer there.“Do you want this, just like I do?” I asked, pulling away from her. My voice hoarse as she nodded; she slid off the arms of her top, pulled it down as her perky boobs came into view, and I swallowed hard, reeling each moment into my mind and enjoying her sight; she was indeed beautiful by all fucking means.

    MARCELLUS’ POV.Wanting more, she threw her body towards the front, threw her cunt against my lips, and pulled at my hair while she dug her nails deep into my hair.“Fuck yes!” she screamed, letting go of whatever consciousness she had on before.My lips pressed continuously against her lips while her juices eased up their days down my tongue; I pulled my fingers, two, indexes down into her pussy.She shuddered yet again, her lap shook, and she arched her body, throwing her weight up towards me.“Easy love… easy!.” I added in as I pulled my head up, sucking in air, and then buried my face beneath her thighs while I rolled, pinned, and tucked on the pink layers of her kit and kissed on them, my fingers meeting the truth as I felt the surge of warmness ease through her lips.Her wet, warm squirts burst from her cunt, spilling all over my face while I pulled away from her.She lay sprawled over the bed, looking like a beautiful mess.

    MARCELLUS’ POV.I pulled down my pants, and my briefs followed with them. Her eyes popped, almost all from their sockets, as she stared at me hungrily. I saw her; she gulped hard, probably on reflex, but I knew what it meant. She wrapped her arms around my waist and squeezed my ass. My hands moved over to my already hard and erect cock, which pointed right above her lips.The air got stiff, the atmosphere became tense, and I hesitated for the first time in a while. I felt the pure wave of pleasure wash through me, down to my spine, as she brushed her lips against a light above my cap.A little push of liquid seared towards the top. I was fucking hot, and my rut wasn't helping, even after several hours of intense sex, I still wanted her so badly; no words were said, but I knew I should not. Scratch that I would not push further than I already did, she was human and I knew at what point we ought to clean out, or she might end up in a pretty bad situation.I clenched my fists as she ru

  • Betrayed, But Redeemed.   The Aftermath

    FIONA'S POVWhen I woke up, he was gone, not that I expected anything different from him. I felt a soft tingle down in my heart, my cheeks flushed red as I recalled last night's occurrence, his conscious confession of wanting me, how gentle he had been with me. I pushed the duvet wrapped around me aside, glancing beneath to see I had nothing on, yet I had been washed thoroughly.I didn't recall going for a bath; I recalled losing myself to the insane pleasure. I never knew sex was this good, but with him, it turned out to be a lot better. My body ached terribly and I could feel the soreness between my teeth. I arched my back, a sudden flash of memory invading my mind. He had wiped me off with a towel himself; it was faint, but I recall him instructing me to open my knees so he could clean me up and my body as well.My heart raced in my chest on sudden realization; not only did he have sex with me, he also seemed to have cleaned every inch of my chest and I couldn't help but wonder if

    FIONA'S POV.The silence in the room was heavy after Marcellus left. I sat on the bed, my arms wrapped protectively around my belly, trying to reassure myself. “He’ll be back soon,” I whispered, but the words didn’t chase away the lingering fear. The muffled sounds of chaos outside didn’t help. My instincts told me to stay calm, but every fiber of my being wanted to run after Marcellus, to be near him. A sudden creak from the door snapped me out of my thoughts. My head whipped toward the sound, my heart racing. The door swung open violently, and a figure stepped in. “Lena?” I gasped, recognizing the Alpha’s daughter who had always been cold and distant toward me. She shut the door behind her with a slam, her movements sharp and furious. Her eyes, wild with rage, locked onto mine. “You,” she spat, her voice dripping with venom. I instinctively backed up, pressing against the headboard. “Lena, what are you doing here? Marcellus told me to stay here—” “Shut up!” she snapped

  • Betrayed, But Redeemed.   Pure chaos

    MARCELLUS’ POV.It was a cool evening, the stars twinkling in the clear sky I had been planning this for days, making sure everything was perfect. Fiona deserved nothing less. “Where are we going?” she asked, her voice filled with curiosity as I guided her outside the packhouse. “Patience, my love,” I said, a small smile tugging at my lips. “You’ll see soon enough.” She clutched my arm as we walked through the garden, her steps light but hesitant. The cool night air made her cheeks rosy, and her fiery red hair shone under the moonlight. She looked breathtaking, as she always did. Finally, we reached the spot I had prepared. A blanket was spread out on the soft grass, surrounded by lanterns that cast a warm, flickering light. A basket full of her favorite snacks sat in the center, and a small bouquet of wildflowers rested beside it. Her eyes widened as she took it all in. “Marcellus… this is beautiful.” I watched her reaction closely, feeling a wave of satisfaction at her

    MARCELLUS’ POV.The sun was blazing hot as Raymond and I stood in the training arena, sweat dripping down my face as I readied myself for another sparring session. I couldn’t help but smirk at him as he adjusted his stance, trying to look confident. “You ready to lose, Raymond?” I teased, rolling my shoulders to ease the tension. He chuckled, shaking his head. “You talk big for someone who barely landed a hit last time.” “Barely?” I raised a brow. “Let’s settle this with a wager then. The winner gets a wish granted by the loser. Deal?” Raymond hesitated for a moment, but then nodded, a sly grin spreading across his face. “Deal. Don’t cry when you lose, Alpha.” We circled each other, the air thick with tension and determination. He came at me fast, throwing a punch that I dodged easily. I countered with a swift kick that nearly knocked him off his feet. For a moment, I thought I had him, but Raymond was nothing if not crafty. He feigned a stumble and came back with a series o

  • Betrayed, But Redeemed.   Three months later

    FIONA’S POVThe morning sun streamed through the curtains, filling the room with a warm glow. I sat on the bed, my hand resting on my now-visible baby bump. It still felt surreal, knowing that three little lives were growing inside me. Marcellus walked into the room carrying a tray of food, his face lighting up when he saw me. “Good morning, my love,” he said, placing the tray on the bedside table. I smiled at him, though I couldn’t hide the slight frown as I glanced at the food. My eating habits had been all over the place these past few months. Some days I couldn’t stop eating, while on others, even the smell of food made my stomach turn. “What’s wrong?” he asked, sitting beside me and taking my hand. “I’m just not sure if I can eat,” I admitted. He gave me a soft smile, brushing a strand of hair behind my ear. “Just try a little, for me? And for the babies?” His words always had a way of melting my worries. I nodded, picking up a piece of toast. As I ate, Marcellus wa

    FIONA'S POV I sat on the sofa in Marcellus’s room, my legs tucked under me as I absentmindedly flipped through a book. The sunlight streamed through the large windows, warming the room and making everything feel peaceful. Marcellus was at his desk, stacks of files surrounding him as he worked. It was strange seeing him like this—calm, focused, and completely off I couldn’t help but watch him. His golden hair caught the light as he leaned forward, his brows furrowed in concentration. Every so often, he’d glance at me and smile, making my heart flutter. “This is nice,” I said softly, leaning back against the cushions. “I could get used to this.” He chuckled without looking up. “Used to what? Watching me work?” “Used to spending quiet days with you,” I replied, smiling. “It’s peaceful.” Marcellus looked up then, his eyes softening. “I wish every day could be like this,” he said, his voice full of warmth. I felt a surge of happiness, my hand unconsciously resting on my stomac

    LENA’S POV The room was quiet, the kind of stillness that made every little noise louder. I sat on the edge of my bed, my nails tapping against the wooden frame as I stared out the window. The moon hung low in the sky, casting a pale glow over the pack grounds. My father was late. I checked the time again, biting my lip to stop myself from screaming into the empty room. Finally, the sound of footsteps echoed in the hallway, followed by the creak of the door opening. Father walked in, his face stern and his steps heavy. “Lena,” he said, closing the door behind him. “It’s late. What’s the matter now?” I didn’t wait for him to come closer. Instead, I jumped up and ran to him, grabbing his arm as tears spilled down my cheeks. “Father,” I whimpered, my voice breaking. “It’s ruined! Everything is ruined!” He frowned, his hands resting on my shoulders. “What are you talking about, child? What’s ruined?” “Marcellus,” I cried, my voice shaking. “He knows. He knows it was all an act!

    LENA’S POV The silence in my room felt suffocating. I paced back and forth, my bare feet sinking into the rug I’d heard the commotion earlier—Father’s yelling could probably be heard from miles away. I knew he was down at the pack house. Shouting at Marcellus, throwing accusations around like arrows. It was all part of the plan, but it still made my stomach twist into knots. I sat down on the edge of the bed, gripping the edge of the mattress tightly. My heart raced as I thought about everything that had happened. No, I didn’t try to end my life. That wasn’t part of the plan. But the idea of it, the mere suggestion, had been enough to send a ripple of panic through the pack. Marcellus needed to know that I wasn’t someone to be discarded so easily. He thought he could just cast me aside? That I would just vanish into thin air while he paraded that human woman around like some trophy? I laughed bitterly, the sound sharp and hollow in the still room. He didn’t know me at all if h

    MARCELLU'S POV.The shouting hit me before I even reached the entrance of the pack mansion. A loud, angry voice echoed through the pack grounds, drawing the attention of everyone nearby. My heart sank as I recognized it—it was Elder Thomas, Lena’s father. I pushed open the doors and rushed outside. The scene was chaotic. Pack members had gathered around, whispering in hushed tones as Elder Thomas stormed through the center of the courtyard. His face was red with fury, his fists clenched tightly at his sides. “Thomas, what’s going on?” I called out, stepping forward to face him. His eyes snapped to me, filled with rage and pain. “You dare ask me what’s going on, Marcellus?” he spat. “You cast my daughter out like she was nothing! And now this!” I frowned, trying to piece together what he meant. “What are you talking about?” “She’s my daughter, my blood!” he shouted, his voice shaking. “You humiliated her! You stripped her of her title and sent her away from her home, her fami

    MARCELLUS POV. I woke up early, the sun just beginning to rise, casting a soft golden glow over the room. Fiona lay beside me, her face peaceful and serene, her red hair sprawled across the pillow. She looked so beautiful, so fragile, and yet I knew the strength she carried inside her. Careful not to wake her, I slipped out of bed. Today, I wanted to do something special for her, something that would show her how much she meant to me. Breakfast. It seemed simple enough, but for Fiona, it had to be perfect. She deserved the best, and I wanted her to feel loved and cared for. I made my way to the royal kitchen, where the staff were already busy preparing meals for the pack. As I entered, the clattering of pots and pans came to an abrupt halt. The maids froze, their eyes wide with surprise. “Alpha,” one of them stammered, bowing her head. “What brings you here?” “I’m making breakfast,” I said simply. The room fell silent. “Alpha,” another maid said cautiously, “we can pr
