Dominic’s POV

I slammed the papers on top of my desk, frustrated that until now, the paperwork didn’t seem to end. I had been scanning my eyes through this the moment I woke up and yet, nothing seemed to enter my head.

Lazily, I leaned my back in my office chair and looked at the ceiling. I had been an Alpha King for years and the administrative tasks were part of my life. I ate mountains of paper for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if there was no training, pack convergence, or out-of-the-pack trips I had to attend. These never bored me, for I took my duties and responsibilities very seriously. Some even joked that I was married to my post, which I didn’t mind for it was the truth.

So what’s wrong with me? Why am I feeling this way? I only started acting strange ever since Victoria Collins entered my pack.

Ah, that woman. She hadn’t been here for a week but the damage she inflicted was far beyond any rogue had done to the Royal Cavern. She constantly quarreled with sweet Ashley, the

    Elora’s POVMy feet went to a sudden halt hearing him utter my real name for the first time. I remained rooted in my spot, still trying to figure out what I should do next. ‘He already knows the truth, Elora. What are we going to do?’ Normally, Arwen was the one who would tell me what to do. But now, even she was caught off guard by the turn of events.A few hours ago, I was so sure that I would be leaving this pack for good. But now, my very existence was being threatened by the truth that I was desperately hiding for three years. There was no point in hiding the truth from Dominic. He was an intelligent wolf and probably read between my lines. I wanted to scold myself for being so emotional. Maybe, I wouldn’t be caught lying only if I hid my emotions expertly in front of the Alpha King. Yeah, I screwed up, and would probably be the end of me. But, no! I wouldn’t let myself be handed over to my evil uncle that easily. I would not give him the satisfaction. If I had to fight Domini

    Silence engulfed us over the next set of minutes. I turned my head on him, and he did the same. Our eyes met in the process. Lub-dub!My heartbeat became louder. It was like my chest was going to explode. I knew to myself that I hated the Alpha King but at that moment, I saw something different in his eyes making me think twice about what I felt for him. Is that a hint of concern? Compassion? I have no idea. His eyes remained fixed on mine, making me uncomfortable. It was different from the way he looked at me in the past. His gaze was full of warmth. Finally, he moved. He lifted his hand and began caressing my upper arm. In a normal circumstance, I might have shoved his hand away. But this moment was different. No, it was he who suddenly became different.Is he beginning to sympathize with me? ‘Can’t you feel it, Elora? Dominic’s heart is aching for us’ Arwen stated.‘How did you know? Have you talked to his wolf?’ I asked her back in my thoughts.‘No, I haven’t,’ Arwen answered

    Elora’s POVIt had been two days since that confrontation with the Alpha King Dominic about my troubled past. Contrary to that fateful day, the next set of sunrises and sunsets were typically boring. I heaved a deep sigh, looking at the ceiling, staring at it blankly. I haven’t seen anything aside from the four corners of this shabby quarter for two days straight. And as a rogue who lived in the woods for three years, this was lowkey torture. ‘I’m bored, Arwen,’ I told my wolf inside my head. ‘I want to get out of this barless jail.’‘You know you can’t do that until the pack convergence is over, right?’ Arwen answered. I could see her sitting in a corner and grooming herself. ‘Your uncle and his men are still inside the royal pack land.’‘Yeah, I know,’ I responded, covering my head with a pillow. ‘I just need…company. I want to talk with another individual, that’s all. Maira is serving in the convergence from dusk until dawn. She barely has time to chitchat with me before bed beca

    Elora’s POVI fastened my steps and wasted no time changing into my omega uniform. I almost forgot to tie my long hair but good thing I remember. The omega leader hated to see the omegas with messy and untied hair. The last thing I wanted was to have unnecessary confrontations with her for something as trivial as untied hair.Careful not to make any sound, I pressed my ears to the wooden door and listened if the guards were still there. I cussed on the wind after hearing their irritating laughter. It was almost midnight but they seemed to not let me have even a tiny opportunity to leave this room. Perhaps this was one of the many distinct qualities of a royal guard. They treated the Alpha King’s order very seriously. So, it led me no choice but to use the rope I hid under my bed. It was the same rope I used when I attempted to escape and ran away last time. Good thing I decided to keep it for emergencies like this.After tying the other end to one of my bed’s legs and the other end

  • Chase Me: The Alpha King's Rogue Mate   Chapter Thirteen

    Dominic's POVJust like any other day, I was back to my study and thinking about the things that happened in the past days. I shook my head in disbelief whenever I think about how an ordinary pack convergence turned into something very complicated. I had known Alpha Lucian Knightlock of the Moon River Pack since time immemorial. He was an ally to my father and a loyal subject of the royal pack. I had seen him quite a few times here at Royal Cavern during the days of my father’s reign. He was there when we held my father’s last rites during his funeral. He was also one of the alphas who personally witness my ascension ceremony. So to cut the story short, he was a constant figure in my life and bore no ill feelings toward him. But my perfect depiction of him shattered when I heard my mate’s story. Never in my wildest dream that I pictured him to be as ruthless and merciless as how Elora described him to be.The goddess knew how much I restrained myself from clawing his face out wheneve

    Dominic's POV“Tell me, soldier. Where did she go?”The goddess knew how much I tried to keep my cool. My eyes were heating up, and I almost let my primal urge take over. But I reminded myself to calm down. Because if not, I could kill these two dumb soldiers for being careless. Do I need to repeat myself, soldier? I said, where is she?” I held the soldier’s shirt tighter, making him see my eyes in closer range. Through my orbs, I could see how his body shuddered in fear, with tears of fright forming in his eyes. On the other hand, the other soldier bowed his head. Through my flaring nostrils, I could smell both of their distress. They should be because they obviously failed that one job I assigned them to do. “Please, your majesty. We didn’t know anything,” uttered the shaking soldier. The other one supported his colleague's claim. Both of them were teary, pleading their hearts out for me to consider. “We swear to the goddess, we didn’t leave this post—”“Then tell me where the fuc

    Elora’s POV“What happened? Why are we here?”From my end, it was just an innocent question. But looking at Maira, it seemed that something triggered with that simple query. “I am sorry, Victoria! It was all my fault. If only…If only I didn’t believe his empty promises and listened to you and my wolf, we would not be in this situation!”Once again, Maira’s faint sobs echoed through the dungeon. My lips remained shut, waiting for her to continue with her story. There was more to her being abused by my uncle and I could definitely sense that. “I was one of the omegas assigned to serve the Moon River delegates when they arrived, specifically, to its Alpha.”There was some brokenness in her voice and I couldn’t blame her. Relieving that very painful memory was not an easy thing to do.“It was nothing but a task for me at first, until the Alpha started noticing me. Amongst his peers, he was the most charming, and the kindest if I were to ask. Many times, he defended me from his men whene

    Dominic’s POVBefore meeting Elora Knightlock, I prided myself on girls who would not hesitate to tear each others’ faces just to have a night spent on me. I had never run after a girl. For me, they were just short-time accessories, a thing that would never become permanent in my life. Through the years, only Ashley remained at my side. While she was a good sex partner, I couldn't see her more than that. Yet today, here I was, running in the woods with some of my men, hoping that when we arrived at the Moon River Pack, it would not be too late. Elora was different from all of the women I was involved with. My love-hate relationship with her would always be an interesting subject in my vocabulary. At first, I wasn’t happy that the moon deity gave her to me as a mate. Her identity as a rogue wasn’t a big deal to me, only if she displayed submission to my will. But instead, she constantly disobeyed my commands and worst, disrespect me straight to my face. But that didn’t mean that I wa

    Shea's POV"Where the hell is your father, Bradley! He swore to be here with me always, but where is he?!" I vented at my firstborn, clutching my belly. It had grown so big, resembling a watermelon that I had swallowed whole. It wasn't surprising, considering I was carrying Hektor's twins."Calm down, Mommy! Daddy would be here any moment. I am sure he is on his way," he answered. "He is right, Shea. Come on. Let me help you deliver your twins. My grandsons are ready to come out," my mother, Elora, encouraged as I shifted my attention to her.I gritted my teeth while I endured the throbbing pain in my stomach. My twins wanted to come out in the world, but I wouldn't let them until their father was by my side. When I delivered Bradley, Hektor was not on my side. So, we promised each other that this time, he would be present as I birthed our twins. "Come on, Shea. Don't be stubborn. Your husband is gonna be here soon.

The castle doors swung open, and my eyes locked with Mom, Dad, and Ajax, who stepped out into the sunlight. Their faces were etched with surprise and disbelief, mirroring the emotions swirling within me."Mom! Dad! Ajax!" I called out, my voice trembling with joy and relief. Tears welled up in my eyes as I ran toward them, unable to contain my emotions any longer. My legs moved as if guided by pure instinct, carrying me closer to the people who meant the world to me.They stood there, frozen in astonishment, their eyes wide with shock. It was as if time had paused for a moment, allowing our eyes to meet and our souls to reconnect. The distance between us narrowed with every step, until at last, I threw myself into their outstretched arms."Sweetheart, is it really you?" Mom's voice quivered with a mixtur

    Shea’s POVI live as a rogue now, far from the princess life I once knew in the Royal Pack. I approached our simple shelter and smelled the aroma of roasted herbs in the air. Opening the creaky wooden door, I saw Vlad, illuminated by warm light from inside. He looked relieved and proud as he saw me, and his face brightened with a gentle smile."Welcome back, Shea!" Vlad exclaimed happily. "And look who's here to greet you!"Beside Vlad stood a young boy, his eyes wide with curiosity and excitement. My heart skipped a beat."Mommy!" I smiled widely, reaching out my hand to welcome him. Yes, I found out I was pregnant when I left the White Fang Castle five years ago and Bradley was the fruit of it. I knelt down, letting the game fall from my shoulder, and smiled at my little boy.He looked at me intently and reached out to touch my shoulder. "You're really strong, Mommy," he said in awe. I ruffled his hair in return, making him pout. I glanced at Vlad, my eyes filled with gratitude.

    Hektor's POVI can’t believe that five years have flown by…I stand on the balcony of my luxurious chamber, gazing at the vast territory of the Royal Pack. It's like a beautiful painting, with lush greens, towering trees, and colorful wildflowers. Suddenly, I thought about the White Fang Castle.I shut my eyes, remembering it very vividly. The sun's warm rays bathed me in golden light as kept my eyes shut, recalling the grandeur of the castle. The library's scent of old books, the mouthwatering aroma of feasts in the dining hall, and the laughter that echoed through its corridors during celebrations. Memories of my childhood flooded my mind. Ah…the nostalgia it brings. I went back to my room and quickly put on my training clothes. Even though memories of the White Fang Castle still floated in my mind, I felt a sense of comfort in my new home, in the Royal Pack. I decided to focus on the present and leave the past behind as I started my day.Walking through the training ground, a fe

The nightmare had shattered my peace, bringing back haunting memories of my mother's treachery and the twisted acts she forced upon me and Pops. It left me hollow, like an endless abyss of despair.With a heavy sigh, I dragged myself to the bathroom, craving the soothing embrace of a warm shower. The hot water cascaded over me as if trying to wash away my worries and anxiety, even if just for a fleeting moment. But the putrid stench of my mother's lies clung to me, making me cringe in revulsion.Shit! When will this nightmare end? Once the water ceased its gentle flow, my thoughts drifted to Shea, my lovely mate. I rushed out of the bathroom, searching for her possible whereabouts inside our chambers but my search was futile. My mind convinced me she must be in the kitchen, so I rushed there, my heart pounding with a growing sense of dread. I need to see her. Her presence is like a vitamin that I

It turned out that Yamir was nothing more than a pawn, a victim of Ashley's cunning lies. Dad also acknowledged his sacrifice in saving Mom so he showed mercy and granted them a pardon. He even arranged for a proper burial for Yamir, a final act of respect. Mom, on the other hand, remained in a deep slumber, but we were relieved that she was safe and out of harm’s way. Inside the White Fang Castle, we gathered to discuss our uncertain future. We pondered what lay ahead now that Yamir and Ashley were gone, leaving Hektor in charge. While everyone was engrossed in the meeting, I found myself at my mother's bedside, replaying all the cruel words I had hurled at her. Guilt weighed heavily on my heart, and tears streamed down my face as I clutched her hand. I“Mom, can you hear me?” I asked. But she remained motionless, sleeping peacefully

Worry and curiosity mingled within me, compelling me to ask about their unexpected presence."Why are you here?" I asked, my voice trembling slightly.
