“Alpha!” His gaze went to the door. Just as he was going to unbutton his shirt, he heard his name called. “Come in!” he responded and watched until his Beta came in. A deep hiss escaped his lips. "What gave you the female voice?"“Me?!” Beta gestured to himself. "How can I sound like a guy here, yet like a lady outside? Just admit to me that you believed she was the one. You must have imagined her coming to see you when she's busy cleaning the back of your window.” he hurried towards him. “Should I….”“Don't be silly!” Don interrupted him abruptly. “What brought you here?” he left his shirt unbuttoned to hear from the Beta first. Every visit from him has a purpose; they already have a ton of stuff to accomplish.Beta produced a sketch and gave it to him. “This is the place we found the corpse. I am still not sure how they found that chamber in the basement," he said as he let go of the sketch with Don. "Why am I getting the impression that Nathan has a spy under us? No one can just g
Given the frigid weather, Lena continued to fan the brazer in the Alpha's chamber in order to keep it warm. Perched on the ground, she ruminated on what she had learned regarding her mother's passing and the Alpha's possible involvement.Initially, she was reluctant to let go, until she learned from a servant that a funeral was taking place in the basement with no witnesses. Lena was certain it was her mother's body without having to be informed. Since the deceased's daughter was not permitted to enter the basement to see the burial, she assumed that Don was burying the corpse since he had been exposed.She hated Don even more because of how cruel it was to her. She is only looking at him, wishing she could poison him to death and then be executed too, but it would not work. If the situation is reported, she hopes that someone higher up than Don will investigate it because she wants to see Don suffer and be humiliated.She bit her bottom lip, frowning at the man who was lying on his b
Don Dante pulled Lena into his room by the collar and shoved her to the bed as soon as he took on his human form. With her heart on the verge of escaping her throat, Lena recoiled backward. She could not decide whether to hate that she was saved by him or to be grateful for it.After observing her closely for some time, he moved to the corner of the room next to the closet and took out a thick, clumsy rope, which he then flung upon the bed. The room fell silent, but his icy, deep voice pierced through. "Feel the texture and tell me what you think about being tied up with it."Lena rejected the idea. Touching the rope would not make any difference to the fact that she would be tethered to it. He would hardly alter his remarks once said, knowing who her master is.Lena snuggled up on the bed with her legs wrapped over her arms while he walked into the bathroom to freshen up. This time, he would murder her if she attempted to escape. It is still unclear how he learned she was in the woo
The next morning, after the sun had risen, Don was still in his room getting ready for the day's activities when the doorbell rang. "Come in!" he said, buttoning his shirt and glancing at the door as Beta entered. “I am ready to leave….”"That is why I came here in a rush to meet you—" he approached Don. "About the previous assignment you assigned to me."Alpha Don turned upon hearing that. "What have you discovered?"He reached inside his pocket and took out a piece of paper, which he gave to the Alpha. As Alpha unfurled the paper, Beta said, "Go through it; it appears like a contract between them."Upon finishing, he raised his face, “A contract!” He handed it over. "I was aware that he was not the King by himself." He went over to the table and picked up his watch. "He helped him become the Alpha King after killing my uncle, then permitted him to slay his Luna for his selfish desire— only to make Lena his Luna—" he shook his head, mockingly. "And he wants Lena even now, but he has
For Alpha Nathan, it was a fresh day to start his game. He would have to see every minister working under the Alpha Don this time. For them to convince him to acquire a Luna, a bribe would suffice. He is battling to ensure that Lena was his. Therefore, he would not stand for Don falling in love with her and making her his Luna. His officials will then try to encourage him to crown Luna in order to maintain his monarchy, which would cause him to lose interest in Lena.After leaving the room, he went downstairs to his car and opened it, only to have one of his guys come up to him. "Did you get the packages?" he said, and the young guy nodded. “Then get into the car, let's leave. It shouldn't pass today.” Once inside, the driver started the vehicle. He was there thinking about how he might get Lena back once Alpha Don had finally crowned another lady, his Luna. Given that Lena and him were no longer close, it was challenging.He had discovered that Lena resides next to the Don, which w
After Beta had told Alpha Don about the clause in the contract, four days had passed, and he had been considering his options. Talking to the business board to get the condition removed did not even remotely help him, which made him feel heartbroken.He was clueless about what to do, and the last thing he would consider was losing the contract. With a glass of wine clutched in his hand, he paced his room, lost in thought over the one recommendation his Beta had made."Use Lena as your acting Luna; since the two of you are adversaries, she will not consider being your future Luna. Your Mistress may have great hopes of being the real Luna someday if you give her this chance, as she was worthy of playing one tomorrow.”That thought kept repeating itself in his mind. He knew it was his last remaining option even though he was attempting unsuccessfully to take it off.He is not going to make any woman his Luna, ever. He is going to employ a breeder when he wants a kid. It will also be pref
The following morning, Lena was brought to a secluded room where she was dressed up by all of the fashionistas that Alpha Don had recruited. The memories of his days as a princess raced back into her head as she gazed at her reflection in the mirror.Even as a Princess, she would be honest enough to say that she never dressed so expensively, but now she is going to pose as Luna for her deadliest adversary. She snorted and sauntered out of the room, saying, "He must have spent a lot simply to make me appear this way."If looks could kill, the Mistress, who she encountered in the passage leading to the Alpha's chamber, would shoot her a straight bullet. She was obviously unhappy based on her look, but she was powerless to do anything but watch as Lena walked by after the Alpha Don had warned her about Lena.“This is your….” Lena hesitated, patting her chest with her palm. She questioned him, "Is it a slave or Luna here?" but got no answer. After twice ringing the doorbell, she received
After the business meeting came to an end and the contract was signed, Lena, who had already developed a scorching heat in her, excused herself. She requested to be taken to the restroom, but there, she wanted to ease her feelings and release herself before heading out of the building.Upon entering, she shook her head while gazing at her reflection in the nearby mirror. "In the end, it was a successful conclusion. My job should remain that of a slave, instead of one that would make me anxious to the point of a heart attack." Taking the wipes she saw there, she used them to wipe the perspiration off her forehead before leaving the room.A hand touched her shoulder as she was walking along the corridor that would lead to the meeting room, and she snapped her head back to see a guy in a mask. She turned to face the man and stepped backward, tripping over another foot and falling into his arms.She was hit under the neck and lost consciousness before she could even open her mouth.~The
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
