Niklaus's Pov
"Die!!"
I yelled, thrusting the sword into the Alpha's chest. Even at that, I didn't feel my anger dissipate.
It was still there like the raging fire refusing to go out even though it was running. My chest heaved with every breath as if a knife was twisting around inside me and trying to tear it open, leaving my insides raw from the effort of keeping it closed.
I had killed the Alpha of the pack and his Luna, but still, I felt empty. I wanted to kill, I wanted to maim. I wanted to alter the cause of lives just like mine was.
Looking at the surroundings, I noticed that the havoc that my men had caused had already reached an unprecedented level. The buildings and everything were in ruin, everybody in the Pack was already dead already and still, it didn't appease the burning fire raging inside me like a raging volcano threatening to spill over.
This wouldn't do. I still wanted to kill. To murder more people until her sweet face and her last words to me no longer taunted me.
Niklaus, please let me go with you.
If only I hadn't refused Emily's request, maybe she would still be here with me. But now I no longer had her and what was worse? The now-dead Alpha of Rabid Wolves had murdered my lover with our two-month-old baby inside her.
Killing his whole Pack members including him was a great revenge but it would never be enough. It would never return Emily to me. It would never return the love of my life to me. I needed to do more.
I wanted to inflict more pain, terror, and despair on everyone. But then, I knew I had to stop now since I had annihilated everyone in the Pack.
There was not a single survivor at the moment, and the only survivors would be the seriously injured ones at the doors of death pleading to cross over.
"Warriors!!" I yelled, calling attention to my men who had now assembled themselves before me.
"Yes, Alpha!" They chanted.
"It's time to head back. It's almost dusk." I continued while darting my eyes around.
For some reason, I could feel someone watching me. The hairs on my neck stood. I whirled around, scanning the house. Everyone was dead but why did it feel like someone was in there? I had to confirm my suspicions.
Leaving any stone unturned would only cause trouble later and the thought that someone was still alive made my blood boil.
Different thoughts of how to exact pain on the person filled me. I turned around and made eye contact with my beta, Rowan while mind-linking him.
Go into the house and search it thoroughly.
"Prepare to leave now."
"Yes sir!" My men replied in unison and proceeded to prepare for our departure.
I waited for Rowan while staring at the moon. I knew he would catch whoever it was in no time because he was quite fast.
"You were right." Rowan's voice burst through my thoughts and he shoved a young lady before me.
She fell face flat before me on the rough earth. My instincts were right after all. Anger coursed through me as I took a few strides toward the pale figure on the floor.
I reached for her auburn hair. Yanking it backward, I raised her gaze to meet mine. Staring back at me were the most beautiful baby blue eyes I'd ever seen. A warm, inviting feeling ran through me from my toes to my heart, like a blanket of comfort draped over my soul.
They were the bluest eyes I had ever seen, too. As if I would see blue eyes forever, the color reminding me of the sky. It gave off an aura of warmth and gentleness that wrapped around me, and I felt like I was floating above the ground.
My breath caught in my throat as I took in her beautiful features.
"What is your name?" Unable to ignore the question on my mind, I asked her.
"Noya." Her soft voice replied to me.
A faint sensation filled my heart and I swallowed slowly. A painful groan emanated from her pink parted lips. Although I could see fear written all over her, she was still beautiful. However, I couldn't care less. Her beauty had nothing on me. It could not take away Emily from my heart.
"Pl-pl-please." She stuttered.
I watched as tears arose in her bloodshot eyes and I could see different emotions - fear, sadness, anger, despair. I could read her like a plain book and it had a disadvantage.
It unlocked something inside of me. A strange feeling washed over me and it felt as if I was no longer in charge of my emotions. This girl had done something to me. I couldn't place my hands on it. No one had ever had such power on me and it made me feel weak.
I needed to do something fast.
Reigning in the strange feelings, I shut my eyes tight. Flipping them open again, I was now in charge. A sinister smile curved on my lips.
She would be no different. She had to pay for the sins of her people. My regrets were slowly vanishing.
This was what I wanted to see, someone else's pain. But this was only the beginning, I was going to make sure she felt pain worse than she was feeling at the moment.
I tightened my grip on her hair, refusing to give in to her pleading gaze. The last time I saw this face it was on my mate's and now she was no more.
"You'll pay for the sins of your Alpha!" I growled, staring into her eyes.
Immediately, I saw her eyes widen when she heard my words and I was convinced that she didn't know what their Alpha had done.
"Your Alpha killed my mate!" I said with much venom laced in my voice.
I allowed it to sink in as I watched her expression morph into pity but I would not be deceived. I didn't need her pity. I had the rest of my immortal life to weep in secret and gnash my teeth in regret for not allowing Emily to go with me.
My hands curled around her neck but as much as I wanted to kill her, I couldn't bring myself to do it. I wanted her to feel the same pains I felt when their Alpha killed my mate. Only then would I feel a bit satisfied?
The regret in my heart deepened and so did the hatred I felt for her deepen. Emily's lifeless body flashed in my eyes at that moment and I couldn't help but feel even angrier. At that moment, a punishment worse than death popped into my head and I said the words immediately.
"You will be my sex slave from this day till the end of your life!" I growled, lifting her chin.
I heard a low gasp escape her and felt her shudder when she heard my words. Many other emotions welled up in her eyes.
It seems the girl was ignorant of how I felt. I was sure Emily must have begged for mercy. But then what happened? She was killed in cold blood. There was no way I was going to show her mercy.
I growled and stood up grabbing the girl by her hair. She struggled against my grip which gave me a sense of accomplishment.
I wished I had the power to go back to the past. Then I would have allowed my mate to go with me for hunting and then maybe she wouldn't have died. I could still remember the solemn look on the elders' faces when I got back to the Pack.
The sadness I felt when I saw Emily's dead body sent every form of mercy away. Subconsciously, I tightened my grip on the girl's hair making her cry out loud in pain.
"Please. Please, I beg you."
Her cry of pain made me feel even more comfortable and I wanted to continue with the torture.
But then, I couldn't stay long in the Pack, I had to leave or else I was afraid I might start another massacre.
"You should have begged your Alpha not to kill my mate!!" I smirked, staring at the girl who was holding my hair trying to yank them off away from my grip.
"Maybe this wouldn't have happened if he didn't touch my mate!" I continued while tightening the grip on her hair even further, dragging her along as I walked.
"You'll be paying for the sins of your Alpha since he's not alive to pay for it himself," I muttered, increasing my grip on her hair.
At the moment, I could hear the girl's silent sobs but I could care less. I wanted her also to feel pain and I was on the path to achieving that so there was no way I was going to relent.
After a while, I let go of her hair and crouched in front of her. I could hear her sigh of relief when I let go of her hair.
But who cared? This was just the beginning of the pains she was going to be undergoing, then what was the use of sighing in relief?
"You'll be paying for the sins of your Alpha for the rest of your lives. I hope you'll not try to go against me or else, I'll make you feel worse than today." I smirked, forcing her to look at me by raising her head with her chin.
"We are ready, Alpha Niklaus." A guard informed me.
I let out a sigh into the cold air and stood up straight. It was time to head back to the Pack.
"Bundle her up and throw her into the cage." I commanded, looking at the two warriors who heralded me side by side waiting for my orders.
They rushed towards her almost immediately to do my bidding. She whimpered slightly and tried to put up little resistance but she couldn't match their strength. She finally gave in.
Well, this was just the beginning, she didn't know what life had for her in my Pack. I didn't care what life held for her so far she obeyed my commands as my plaything. Or she would face the consequences.
Noya's PovMy fate had long been decided as I had been caught. I didn't even bother to struggle again. I was bundled up and thrown into a cage. I had little or no choice. I scanned the mighty army before me led by the monster who was no doubt their Alpha.I had imagined him to look like a monster since he was a monster but when I met his gaze. He was the most handsome man I had ever seen. His skin glowed with health and his dark brown eyes gleamed with life.His raven black hair hung loose to his shoulders and his long eyelashes framed a sharp face. I had never met any other man quite like him before. He radiated vitality from every pore of his body as his eyes bore through me, making me feel naked before him. I wondered if he could read my thoughts.While I took in his handsome sculpted face, something clicked in me. He should have been dripping blood on his arm since my mother had inflicted an injury on him before her last breath. However, when I directed my gaze to his arm, everyth
Noya's povBy the time we got to the Pack, it was dark and my whole body ached from being tied up and manhandled by Alpha Niklaus' angry guards. Wrapping my arms around my frame, I darted my eyes around the strange room which was now mine and thick dread engulfed me.What if I was killed before dawn? Fluttering my eyes close, I curled into a ball on the bed by a corner of the small room. Tears seeped through the corners of my eyelids, flowing down my cheeks as my stomach growled in severe hunger but I didn't dare say a word, instead, I turned on my side. This was my life now. A life full of misery.My wrists were covered in red marks and my fingers were stiff from how tightly my nails had dug into my skin in an attempt to stop myself from doing something I shouldn’t have been able to do.The only thing that made things worse was my inability to move my arms much at all without feeling as if
Noya's povI pushed the door backward and was welcomed to an empty room. My lips parted in awe as I scanned the beautiful chambers that had two large windows overlooking the entire Packhouse.A three-poster bed with some dark wood paneling and red velvet upholstery in a design reminiscent of medieval stained glass windows stood in the center of the room with deep black silk curtains draped down from the sides of it. The room was decorated with paintings of beautiful landscapes and an almost musky beautiful citrus tang flooded my senses.My eyes fluttered close and I inhaled the beautiful scent. As I exhaled, the smell became stronger. The air itself was thick with it as if there were layers upon layers of the stuff surrounding me in the atmosphere. There was an unmistakable presence in the room that had just been revealed to me. I inhaled slowly to get used to the scent oI felt an energy surge in the room almost immediately and I needed no one to tell me who it was. My belly tied in
Noya's Pov"I let you sit while washing the clothes and you dared sleep off!?" A piercing yell jarred me up from the cozy arms of sleep causing me every trace of sleep to vanish from my eyes immediately."I'm sorry. It-""Oh sorry for yourself, you scamp!" Her brows arched in anger as she let out a low hiss. I sat up immediately and continued washing the clothes. Although my head ached and my hands threatened to break off from subjecting it to too many chores, I had no choice but to continue. I also didn't have a good night's sleep again but would Sandra ever understand that?"Have you got nothing else but sorry to say!?" She yanked my hair backward and I gasped in pain. She tilted her head sideways allowing me to see her expression. A wicked smirk grazed her face and my shoulders fell in despair. I knew that look. "Please head maid, give me a few minutes and-" "Noya's dinner should be distributed amongst the others!" She ordered before letting go of my hair."Maybe this would teac
Niklaus' Pov"Did you really think you could escape from me?" I charged at her with rage coursing through me like a burst river.Yanking her hair backward, I wondered what would have happened if I didn't choose that hour to stroll around the Pack. She gritted her teeth in pain and immediately more tears seeped from her lids. If there were any of my special abilities that I so much cherished, it was the fact that I could sense when things had gone wrong. Mind linking my men at the border to go after her was so easy but as they said, the border mine had kept her. And for some reason, I warned them not to hurt her. "Ple-please Alpha. It-"Immediately I heard her pleading voice, pity pumped through me. I let go of her immediately. This was the reason I had stayed away from her for days. She didn't know it yet but she was fast getting to me and I couldn't afford that.I could not stop thinking about her for days and that was why I buried myself in the Pack's duties. It took everything to
Noya's Pov“Don't stop." I shuddered at the contact and threw my head back on his shoulders. "Fuck." The vibrations of his deep baritone voice sent chills running down my spine. Immediately his tongue lapped at my moist cunt, my world tilted and I lost control as I felt the warmth of his tongue sliding into me while a hand gripped the back of my neck pulling my head roughly against him.His tongue laved my clit until he reached the nub before sucking on it hungrily for a few moments before he pulled away. I moaned from the sensation, but I didn’t stop him as he continued to stroke my folds, sending even more waves of intense bliss throughout my whole body. He sucked and licked and lapped, making it even more pleasurable for him. His hands massaged my breasts as he sucked and stroked my tits, teasing the sensitive tips. He then grabbed my clit with his teeth and nibbled it, causing me to scream again at the delicious pleasure. I bucked against him as he continued sucking and licking
Noya's pov"The witch tried running away and I'm sure she'd try it again. I hope the Alpha kills her this time around." Even without seeing who it was, I knew that the distinct voice belonged to Jessica and her gossip companion, Jezebel. Although it had been two full weeks since my attempt, the duo made it seem as fresh as yesterday and even spread the gossip around to whomever wished to hear it."She must have thought it would be so easy to escape the claws of Alpha Niklaus." Jezebel tutted in a mocking voice.They were known for their gossip in the Packhouse and although they did this, Sandra, the head maid never had issues with them. She overlooked theirs and picked on me.Thankfully she wasn't around today and my burdens were less. Unable to listen to them any much longer, I got up from my bed and made my way towards the small cupboard on my left where I had my knitting pin tucked away safely in my small bag.The duo were doing it on purpose since they had chosen that particular
Niklaus' PovI rested back in my chair and turned my attention towards the golden ball which colored the sky in an orange hue that was now beginning to wane as the clouds began receding towards the horizon. It was almost nightfall.I stood up from the chair and walked towards the balcony on my left as the wind gently brushed over my cheeks like feathers and the air smelled like fresh-cut grass. Shutting my eyes, I inhaled the earthy scent that came from the trees as they swayed back and forth in the cool breeze.I scanned the surrounding area, taking in the sight of houses, and trees as the bird chirped above in the sky. I was stressed out after attending to some Pack duties. A lump rose in my throat when I remembered the timely massage Emily gave me in times like these. I didn't have to say too much with her around. She understood even my unspoken words. I miss you so much"Who's out there?" I called out as I walked back into my office."It's me, Erik." A familiar voice replied."C
Author's POVImmediately she swirled around to realise that it was Beta Rowan, her breath hitched in her throat but she had slowly maneuvered him from the truth.As she watched him retreat to go welcome the Alpha, relief flooded the banks of her soul. She was happy that she got over it quickly. She would have to be very careful around him.With the look he gave her, it was as if he didn't believe her however he had no proof to pin on her.Welldone Cataliya!She didn't have to wait for his order to go back to her room. If he hadn't caught her, immediately the bell dinged twelve, she would have gone back. Although she wanted to live a secure life and she had given Sherry her word, that would not be possible if the Alpha caught her.In Fact she would be far away from living a secure life. In as much as she was thinking about Sherry's interest, she had to think of her life too. It mattered much more than anything else.She turned her neck towards the deep once more but there was still not
Author's POVInhaling the cold evening breeze, Beta Rowan crossed his arms over each other as he strode around the Pack. On days like these when Niklaus wasn't around, he had to be at alert to ensure that the Pack and Packhouse were safe.Although there were soldiers at the border, Rowan still couldn't let their guard down. It was very risky especially since they had a lot of enemies and friends likewise however due to the deep fear the other surrounding Packs had for Niklaus, it was more of respect and fear. No one dared cross his path because they knew the consequences. "Good even, Beta." Two guards on patrol greeted him."Good evening Ethan. Good evening Jeffrey. How are you today?" He offered them a smile."We are doing good, thank you." They offered him a smile."Were you able to rest during the day in preparation for night patrol?" "Yes." Jeffrey replied."Alright then. Goodnight." He patted them and waved them off.A smile formed on Rowan's face as he ascended the tower slowl
Author's POVThe crescent moon hung up in the dark blue sky illuminating the dark path that led up to the top of the tall tower. The air was chilly as it brushed against her cheeks and on her bare arms were goosebumps raising from the chill and the night wind blew softly against her face. Her feet were already cold and numb in her boots and she shivered involuntarily and pulled a blanket tighter around herself. There was no one else out here at this hour and there wasn’t any reason to be out of her room in the middle of the night. Maybe not to the devil but to Sherry, the woman who had set her sights on the Alpha and was willing to do anything to make him hers.The crickets and the bell chimes seemed so loud but the silence didn’t bother her so much as the fact that she couldn’t hear anything especially when she had sold her soul to the devil.She strode towards the labyrinth. She paused and darted her eyes around to observe her surroundings carefully.She knew this was risky but sh
Noya's povHe gently pushed me towards the bed and kissed me with a great fervency. I kissed him back hungrily, desperately. It was a kiss of hunger and desire. My lips were hungry for his kisses, my body for his touches, my love for him, all my love for him. My body yearned for his touch, my soul yearned for him. And he returned my passion in an equally desperate way. We needed each other so much, we couldn't control it.As he pinned me beneath him and kissed me with such fervour, I thought my heart would stop from the sheer joy of being alive. My fingers trailed up and down his strong, muscled back as I pressed myself against him.He made a low groan. The warmth of his skin against mine made my head reel. As he kissed my neck and shoulder, I could feel myself getting hotter and wetter. As he sucked at my neck and bit it lightly I gasped and felt a wave of warmth flood over me. His touch burned and my heart thundered. My mind spun with pleasure as I ran my fingers through his hair
Author's POV"My lady, your-""Get out!" Sherry raged in anger as she sat up on the bed.The maid scurried out of the room immediately like a scared rat. Her nasty temper had aggravated since she got back from Nik's Pack even her father felt the terrible brunt of it.She looked around wildly until her eyes fell upon the large window that dominated the front of their room. She'd forgotten to close it last night and now it stood open with its curtains flapping in the cold autumn breeze. The late morning light streamed into the room and shone on the floor. Food was the last thing on her mind especially when she had barely slept a wink the night before. That could wait while she set her other plans in motion. She could only eat well when she got rid of Noya.Ruffling her hair in anger, she groaned and leaned back on the bed. Waiting for feedback from her spy in the Packhouse was as frustrating as hell but in order for her plans to work out perfectly, she knew she had to wait.But this wa
Noya's POV"This is beautiful” I breathed out softly. “Let's go sit under the tree by the pond.” He tugged gently on my hand until I turned and started following him down towards the stream, where I saw our spot. I smiled as he took my hand again and led me over to the small clearing where there was a large oak tree with a wide branch extending downwards over the water. We sat down, leaning back against it. It looked much easier than walking over a lot of rocky ground, but the fact of the matter remained that it did take us quite some time to get this far so I didn't complain. I could see the light reflecting off the trees when a stray breeze pushed through some of the canopy. It felt like being in another world. I thought that perhaps I should call it magical, but really, I just felt happy that there we were alone. The sun was warm on the top of our heads, and I was content. The weather was perfect. My heart thumped with pleasure as I snuggled against his warmth.Nik wrapped
Author's POV"See her off to the border." She watched Nik command the guards who stood before me.Sherry crunched her fists in anger wishing she had done more than slap the tramp who caused her paim, torture and disgrace but it could wait. For now the only thing that mattered was her safety as she traveled back home."Nik." She called out to him but he ignored her and strode into the Packhouse. Seething in rage, Sherry bit her lower lip. She could not even wish him goodbye."You may go in, Lady Sherry." A guard urged her.She got into the carriage and sat down feeling humiliated that Nik had punished her for a worthless maid. Why did he love her so much? It made her sick.After trying on so many occasions to make him like her, she had almost given up thinking that his love for Emily was eternal. And she had even planned to go back to her father's Pack when she discovered that Noya, an ordinary maid, was his lover.It irked her that after waiting for so long, Noya had gotten him before
Noya's POVI cracked my knuckles as I took slow strides toward Sherry's room to begin the day's duty. It had been two good weeks but I still had no idea as to when she'd leave but since I was already used to it, I kept quiet.Niklaus also had a lot to deal with. If Sherry's attitude was all I had to put up with to relieve his burden then I would gladly do so. I pushed the door back and walked into the room to find her clothes all scattered across the room.Two can play the game.Humming a song, I closed the door and began folding the clothes. When I was done, I took them to the wardrobe to arrange them and get myself busy with something productive. Maybe reading a book.The thought excited me. The door burst open revealing Sherry who traipsed in with her usual hard countenance."Good morning, Sherry." I flashed a smile at her."Why are you folding those when they are dirty?" She hissed.I shifted my gaze to the clothes in my hands to inspect them. "I washed these clothes yesterday."
Niks povMy tongue traced along her bottom lip as I slid myself into her. I moved her knees apart to allow me full access. I kissed my way down her body, kissing her breasts, running my hands down her ribcage to the base of her hips. Finally, I reached her clit, swirling my finger around it, feeling it jolt slightly under my touch.She melted into the kiss deepening our kiss with an almost predatory hunger as she wrapped her arms around my neck pulling me closer. I pressed myself against her with a slight moan of desire and she moaned. My hand trailed down over the curve of her hip gently feeling the softness of her skin underneath as I continued to stroke the side of her body in slow caresses. She gasped, her breath coming out hot and quick in my mouth as she arched upwards towards me, my tongue lapping at the bottom lip of hers as if trying to take it. I slipped my fingers under the hem of her gown to cup her breasts, rubbing them lightly, causing her to arch further up against me
