The instant she was pulled up by her hair, a scream sprang out of her throat. Before she could shout at whoever was torturing her, she remembered that she had fallen asleep in Alpha's chamber. "Your Majesty," she said while keeping her eyes closed."You should utilize opportunities judiciously; you do not have to go overboard." He gestured at the wall clock. "You had four hours of sleep. I think that's too much for a slave.”Her head sprang up. "However, the other slaves never worked at night. I was the only one who did," she groaned, but he grabbed her ear and pressed it so hard that she lost her voice to scream. The pain was so excruciating, but she dared not complain."I have warned you not to talk back to me, and perhaps you are unaware that you are not the same as the other slaves, right?" He quaked at her, causing her to slip and fall on the ground. “Meet the Mistress, there must be work awaiting you. But before doing any work—I am yet to eat my breakfast, so be fast about getti
"It was not her fault!" The Beta moved closer to Alpha, who was pacing his room. "I noticed the Mistress spilling the food, and I presumed she was envious since she spent the night in your chamber," he said, anticipating an answer.Even more than he despises Elena, he detests the Mistress's constant nagging of Lena for carrying out her duties on the Alpha. For goddess sake, they are mates, and that's the main reason for Lena not to be separated from the Don.Turning, Alpha looked at his Beta. "You must be developing feelings for her, otherwise you will be unconcerned about whether she is alive or not," he chuckled and looked at the clock. "Get rid of that sensation quickly since the clock is ticking away."The Beta went to his knees in shock. “My apology, but I have no feelings for her. I dare not!”“Then mind your business. The way I mistreat her shouldn't concern you a bit.”"Not you, but the Mistress is the one mistreating her." With a snap, the Beta sprang to his feet. "At sunset,
He whispered to her, growling, "You made me a sex addict, and I will punish you for that." Lena felt her heart pound. For spilling his food, she was meant to receive punishment—perhaps lashes—but instead he is attempting to ingratiate himself with her. "My Luna is the only one who has the authority to do that," he said, untying the rope and letting it fall to the ground.She gazed at the bruise left by the rope, which drew his attention to her flesh. "I know I should not be doing this, but I believe my mate bond is stronger than my aloof manner." Gently massaging the bruises with his thumb, he helped them heal. Nobody would think he was treating a slave he hated in this manner—not even he can believe it—and he does not even understand what was wrong with him.He had been chilly and unkind to her for hours, but suddenly he was being kind. “This is because of the mate bond. Maybe rejecting you will make it easier for me to despise and mistreat you in the way I want, and my Beta will ac
The instant Lena emerged from the restroom with his towel draped over her, Alpha Don fixed his gaze on her from head to toe. His gaze grew strained. “Do you still believe that you are a princess who consistently exhibits bravery and has the courage to follow her heart?” His expression contorted.She shook her head. “I only realized….”“Take it down! I wonder what you're hiding.” Just the sound of his words frightened her enough that she let go of the towel and it fell off her body. His gaze swept over her bare body in front of him. "The clothing on the couch belongs to you. You must dress neat while staying with me.”She ran to the couch, her breast bouncing with each step as he looked at her and licked her lips. Why does he have such an obsession with a common slave? She is only valuable as a sex tool, but based on the way things are going, it appears that she is more than that. He can not be fixated on a sex tool, yet he keeps wanting her body.“They aren't meant for slaves…” Lena d
There were a lot of files strewn all over his bed, but he was unable to focus and go through them one by one as he usually did. With thoughts of Elena clouding his head, he fixed his gaze on a certain file. He was attempting to figure out why, despite his best efforts, he was unable to move on from her body. He was finding it difficult. It was wrong of him to act in such a way. Even though she was supposed to be his sex toy, it was not to be pleasurable. He wasn't supposed to cling to her body to the extent of loving her moans.He pushed the files to the side. “She's supposed to be here but she left ... and I'm sure I woke up after she left. But why? Why can't I sleep without her? I shouldn't be longing for her body that way even as a sex toy…” he stood, transfixing his palms on his waist. "I was not intended to make love to her, but rather have sex. Was she meant to moan with delight at first? She was supposed to be begging me to stop because it was painful not asking for more…”It
She rose from the floor and edged closer to the bed, her eyes fixated on the Alpha. His words surprised her, "Are you going to climb there with that garment on?" She shook her head, then started to unzip and undress with difficulty. "Why is it that removing your clothes is so tough for you? Looks like you need my help…”She gulped, knowing that his help wasn't the type she wanted from the beginning. She took a few steps back. "I can handle it on my own,""If you could, why did you seek my assistance before?" He took a step toward her. “Halt!” he made a long face. "I alone shall determine whether or not to assist..." When he got close to her, his jaw tensed. He approached her from behind and carefully undid the dress.Lena's heart continued to race. Her master has mood swings, so she is unsure if he is angry with her or not. The way he frowns and then smirks makes it difficult to discern his feelings, so she would not dare to awaken the beast in him for her sake.She was about to take
Releasing his grip on his staff, Alpha Nathan took the needle from the guy in front of him. "It was utilized to determine the amount of aconite in her food and beverages. Keep it secure."He returned it to the man and got down from his seat.Approaching the lifeless body on the ground, he cracked open its face. "She looked a lot like her. I hope everything works out as planned." he closed her face again and turned to his men. "I take it that nobody saw you murdering and burying the morgue attendant?"They nodded in unison. “Yes, Alpha!!”He snorted and licked his lips. "What strategy are you going to use? Did you examine the building of his palace?"After exchanging quick glances, they both nodded."Then you must have figured out where to store the body. I mean, a spot that is easily accessible but remains a secret to him. In this manner, anyone who discovers that the body was discovered in his hidden basement would assume that he carried it out and concealed it as well," he scowled. “
It had been seventeen hours since Beta had gone to Lena's father's house. He returned to meet the Don, taking out a cigarette from the package. "Should I simply bring her in to stop you from doing it?" He attracted the Alpha Don's attention to himself.Alpha shook his head. "I am genuinely taking it because I am upset with myself for being so infatuated with her body." he gazed at his Beta. “I shouldn't, right? She's just a slave. My sex toy. I should not be infatuated with her body, but she should be. When I see her, I simply want to devour her raw. My d*ck is always erect anytime I set my eyes on her….” he dropped the packet of cigarettes. "But even so, why should I smoke because of her?"Beta laughed heartily. Never before has he seen his Alpha so confused as now. Unsure whether to smoke or not—whether to meet his slave or otherwise. "I will bring her in when I leave. F*ck her the way you want. Keep being obsessed with her body or another man might be.”"What do you mean? Are you o
An applause echoed in the hall as Elena and Alpha Dante shared their drinks.He kissed her cheek, and they sat back in their seats. On their head lay a diamond crown that signifies the Supreme Rulers of the werewolf packs, and on Lena's side was Alpha Prince Kendrick, seated on his royal little chair while Odessa was taking care of him.The ceremony was coming to an end. The pack members were all eating, drinking, and jubilating.Along the line, Elena recalled what Odessa told her about Susan. At that moment, she averted her gaze to Susan, who was a bit calm. She studied her belly and noticed something he had never been interested in.She could tell that it was the reason Susan barely showed up before her since she returned back to the palace. She must have been scared that she would find out and abandon her or Alpha sending her back to the slave yard…whereas, sneaking out of the palace wasn't a better option as Alpha would find her and she would face the penalty of her offense.About
CHAPTER 45 Darkness covered the sky. Alpha Dante took Lena to the mountain where they would watch the moon together while their child was under the care of Odessa and Alfred.They had come along not just to watch the moon but to get two things done. Alpha was set to burn to ashes everything that had to do with his deceased Luna and forget about her entirely, while Lena was to perform a little funeral to please the spirit of his deceased Luna and daughter.Together, they set the belongings on fire and watched as it burnt under the moon.Lena leaned on his shoulder, her face contorted. If she was told that she would ever take the place of his deceased Luna, she wouldn't believe it. Here she was, watching as everything that had to do with his Luna was turning to ashes to be forgotten till eternity all because of her.When the fire went down, she got to her knees, beginning the funeral, and he joined her. Tears gathered in her eyes as she recalled the day her father was killed and how s
CHAPTER 44 Five months later,When Alpha noticed the baby was about to cry, he stood from the sofa and walked towards Lena, who was busy organizing the bed. “Look, he must be hungry. Why not breastfeed him?” He drew Lena's attention.She glanced at her baby's face and grinned before taking him into her arms. She sat on the bed, loosening her blouse, and then began breastfeeding the child while Alpha Dante watched. Staring at the child as his lips motioned made him recall how he suckled on Lena's nipples before she got pregnant—and he must admit that he missed it so much.If he could perform magic for his child to grow faster so he can resume the interesting game he doesn't skip, he wouldn't hesitate to do it.After staring for a long time, he got seated beside Lena, running his fingers in the baby's hair. “He's five months and two weeks old, yet we haven't haven't given him a name.” he lifted his face to find Lena gazing at him. “What name do you think will suit the son of a Mafia Do
CHAPTER 43 Late at night, the royal chef had packed up her essential belongings and was ready to exit the palace. She had never felt comfortable from the day she poisoned Evelyn's meal and heard of her death.Each time she recalls that, her chest pounds harder like it would break into pieces.She sneaked out of the palace through the back gate, hoping to sleep over in any tavern she came across and then continue her journey the next day.The palace was scary for her to stay. She believes her life won't be spared if her offense is ever disclosed and she is aware that Bianca, who was the mastermind, will go scot-free.As she walked along the way, taking glances at the back several times, she clutched her left palm to her chest while hastening her step. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a lady walking ahead of her with another at the front.She halted. “I can't be caught—” nibbling on her bottom lip, she stepped back a bit, only to march on a piece of cloth. As she stared at the floor,
CHAPTER 42 Alpha Dante took two steps forward and then swirled his neck backwards to see Tyrion kneeling on the floor with blood gushing down his face. He darted his eyes around until he met Lucas, who was taking a slow walk towards him. “Lucas!!”“Alpha Don!!” Lucas bowed to him the moment he approached closer. “I took you unaware. I'm sorry for that….” he bowed again.Alpha glanced at Tyrion, who was still kneeling and touched his shoulder. He fell with his face landing on the floor.“Now, you are sure that he's dead…” Lucas kicked Tyrion and shifted to the other side. “I saw him stalking you from the club, and I understood you were after him because he was supposed to be executed.” he looked at his gun and put it into his pocket. Alpha looked at Alfred, who was still lying on the floor and seemed to have passed out due to the fear, and then he looked back at Lucas. “Let's bury him! No one should know what happened….”Lucas agreed and joined hands with him as they lifted Tyrion an
CHAPTER 41 For safety precautions, and because Alpha Dante was still recovering, Lena insisted that he wouldn't go after Tyrion yet. She wanted him to be captured and prayed that Alfred was safe, but he wouldn't allow Don to go after him in his state of health.Three days had elapsed since they left the hospital and returned to the palace. Alpha Don insisted that he would go after Tyrion, knowing so well that Tyrion would be waiting for him.Lena sat on the bed with her child asleep in her arms. She watched as Don got dressed, stalling on himself different types of guns and bullets. He had his cap and dark glasses. “You look stunning, just like an assassin….” she complimented and grinned. “I wonder if I'd ever be trained like you….”“No need!!” he had his gloves on. “I'll channel the strength to our child instead…..”She nodded, loving the response she got from him. “So, how long would it take? Are you going to bring him here or…”“I'll have him killed there. There's no need to bring
CHAPTER 40 In the royal infirmary, Lena was laid on the bunk and was receiving treatment. Nurses and Doctors surrounded her while Don sat on the bed at the side watching as they were trying to restore her.The energy he had consumed kept her breathing until they reached the hospital, but it seemed it had been consumed, and she was going to pass on if time wasn't taken. Her life lies in the hands of the doctors since his wolf is still recuperating from the energy used to restore her.He had lost lots of blood as well, but that wasn't an issue to him as it was.“Get the defibrillator! Fast!!!” the doctor yelled, and the nurses ran helter-skelter to get it done.Don swallowed his saliva, staring at Lena's lifeless body. The beeping sound of the monitor could tell that she was in a terrible condition and might give up soon, so he prayed persistently to the moon goddess to forgive his mistakes and give Lena a second chance.The doctor, once given the defibrillator, began shocking her hear
CHAPTER 39 Seconds after the car was crashed by the long truck, Alpha Dante slowly pulled himself out from under the car, bleeding on the leg. He tried as much as he could to dodge the truck but intentionally hit Lena, knowing that the truck would do so if he didn't.He had tried to view the plate number of the truck, but it had none, which made him understand that it was a setup. So, hitting Lena himself would save her rather than letting the truck do so.Gradually, he stood from the ground and looked around the corner. The truck was still alarming, and he could hear murmurs from it. He glanced at his car and scoffed—it was fucking damaged beyond repair.“Lena!!” he nibbled on his bottom lip and began searching for her while still bleeding. He needed to leave that spot first to save her life before any other thing.Hearing her soft groans like one battling for life, he rushed over to her cold body lying lifeless on the floor. He squatted before her and placed his ear on her chest—he
CHAPTER 38 As Lena left, Alfred released a deep breath. He looked around to see the armed men almost close to him. He shook his head, “I'm not their priority. They can still leave me to live and go after her…” he looked at the direction Lena took. “We have to meet again, Lena. We didn't grow together, but I felt that bond. We have to live and spend time together…even if we won't have parents anymore.”His lips pulled apart slightly. He glanced around and found a heavy stone, which he grabbed.“They can't find me either. They won't find us. We don't have to lose each other after meeting again. My mother is also waiting for me.” he blinked, letting his tears roll down his cheeks.With all his might, he threw the stone to a distance, and it rolled over, going down deeper.He chuckled as the men felt that was the direction they took and headed towards the area. He slowly got to his feet and took the other way, heading to a destination he didn't know.When he felt he had walked enough and
