I hesitated between laughter and sorrow as Alex and I found ourselves exiled from the monastery. The incident in one of its rooms had clearly crossed a line. Even though Alex was one of the largest donors to the monastery and was called brother by the staff, having sex on the monastery grounds was really considered blasphemy by them."I'm relieved you didn't shave your head," I said, wrapping my arms around Alex affectionately."I was close to it, Aurora. If you'd arrived even a day later, today would've been my initiation, and I'd be bald," Alex replied with a chuckle.Returning to the orphanage to visit Mrs. Collins, we were greeted by the familiar walls, infused with the lingering scent of detergent from the hanging clothes, and the joyful laughter of the children."Mother," Alex began, sitting beside her. "This is Aurora.""Yes, my son, I remember her. She worked here voluntarily for four months. But tell me, have you chosen her as your partner?" Mrs. Collins asked, her eyes twink
Alex's face turned pale as he sank into the garden chair, his voice barely above a whisper. "Let me think about it for a moment. This is still a shocking revelation to me."I unfolded the cloth with trembling hands, revealing the message written in blood."Alexander, we love you. When you find your mate, you're meant to be the Alpha king. Only with the Moon Goddess's blessing can you save us, your people. You'll always be our Alpha. Love, Mom."The weight of his destiny seemed to hang in the air, a tangible presence that Alex couldn't simply dismiss. This was his sole link to his family, a calling to become the alpha king."Aurora," Alex finally spoke, his smile forced and brittle. "I think I'll pass on it." His voice wavered as he continued, "My parents might have been like yours – ambitious, perhaps even cruel. Think about it, they abandoned me at an orphanage. I don't need to be the alpha king. All I yearn for is a simple life in the village. With you."I moved to the chair beside
He walked to the other side of the door and placed his hand on a fingerprint scanner, then spoke a voice password. Instantly, the mansion sprang to life. Lights illuminated the sprawling gardens and interior, transforming the place from a sleeping giant into a beacon of activity and luxury.As we stepped inside, the sheer size of the mansion was overwhelming. The entrance hall, with its sleek, minimalist design, opened up into a vast, light-filled space. Floor-to-ceiling windows offered panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, while modern LED lighting created a welcoming ambiance.To the right, a spacious living area featured contemporary furniture, a state-of-the-art entertainment system, and abstract art pieces that added splashes of color. Straight ahead, a floating staircase with glass railings led to the upper levels, its clean lines embodying modern architectural beauty. To the left, the dining area showcased an expansive, elegant glass table, surrounded by designer chairs
"Your mother isn't actually thinking she can eliminate Nathan and Daniella, right?" Alex's concern echoed through the study room as he watched my mother disappear into Nathan and Daniella's room. The absence of CCTV left us blind to her actions within. His voice, tinged with anxiety, broke the silence.I felt a knot of worry tighten in my stomach. "Why?" I managed to ask.He glanced at me, his eyes reflecting the gravity of the situation. "Today marks two months, since the Moon Goddess's battle began. There's no way they haven't prepared for an assassination attempt," he explained, his voice low.I swallowed hard, a sense of dread washing over me. "For real? What's going to happen to my mom?"Alex let out a heavy sigh, the weight of his thoughts apparent. "In my opinion, she may fail to kill Nathan and Daniella. But with Linda here, she might escape unscathed or maybe some miracle could happen, still she will survive."I tried to muster a smile, seeking solace in his presence. "Then I
Alex and I stood atop the mansion, our training session in full swing. He stripped down to his shorts, revealing a physique sculpted with muscles and adorned with numerous bullet wounds - a testament to his resilience. I couldn't help but marvel at Alex's strength, watching him effortlessly perform one-handed push-ups, his count effortlessly surpassing a hundred.Despite being endowed with werewolf power, Alex's physical prowess was undeniably impressive. Dressed in my sports bra, I joined him in the rigorous workout, our bodies glistening with sweat under the relentless sun. It felt surreal, considering our past - simple conversations about books and teaching, now replaced by this intense preparation to conquer the world. I took a moment to gaze out at the sea from our elevated vantage point, musing softly, "Yes, it truly feels like a dream."Alex, continuing his one-armed push-ups, broke the silence. “I have sent a letter proposing honorable battle to Prince Nicholas and Nadine. It'
Bianca gazed at Alex, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears. "You jerk, how could you still be alive?" she exclaimed, her voice a mix of disbelief and relief.Alex replied with a light-hearted jest, "Because I am still missing you," attempting to diffuse the tension with humor.Bianca's expression softened, yet her eyes remained tearful. "But I already have a mate now," she confessed, her voice trembling slightly.Alex, undeterred, offered a playful challenge. "Don’t worry, I will beat your mate tonight. You could hug me now, if you want," he said, spreading his arms wide in a welcoming gesture.Overcome with emotion, Bianca embraced him, her tears flowing freely. "I am really happy you are still alive," she sobbed into his shoulder.Edward, witnessing this reunion, turned to me with a look of determination. "Can I beat that asshole who's hugging my mate?" he asked, his eyes burning with a mix of jealousy and protectiveness.I laughed, understanding his sentiment. "Yes, that's the pur
Alex exhaled deeply, his chest heaving with the weight of his words. With a voice tinged with desperation and fervor, he implored, "Oh, Dear God, grant me the entirety of Your Might, the strength I need for this final onslaught. A thousand moons fang attack, fueled by 500 million dollars."The people started to yell, "Great attack!"Edward, his expression morphing into a wry smile, responded with admiration and a hint of resignation. "Your prowess is truly unparalleled. This alpha can no longer withstand your formidable attack. I have coughed up blood, my innards are shattered. You are the victor, my Alpha King."The crowd erupted into a frenzy of shouts, their voices intertwining in a loud chorus, "Alex! Edward! Alex! Edward!" Their excitement was palpable, each shout vibrating with energy."This is truly a spectacular duel," one audience member remarked, their voice laced with awe. "I doubt I could withstand such an attack. I would have faltered at the mere 100 million mark.""Alpha
In the midst of the chaos, I couldn't help but think, 'This is insane.' Never in my wildest dreams had I imagined finding myself in such a harrowing situation.The gunfire persisted relentlessly, bullets penetrating the back door and shattering the front glass. Alex lay prone on the bed, his breaths shallow, his body succumbing to unconsciousness as the poison and medicine took its toll.Armed with nothing but my wits and the ambulance, my only option was to drive as fast as possible. Under the cloak of night, I pushed the vehicle to its limits, relying on my werewolf-enhanced reflexes to navigate each turn. The ambulance careened wildly, teetering on the edge of control as it swerved from one side of the road to the other, its wheels occasionally lifting off the asphalt.Inside, the contents of the ambulance were tossed about, sliding from side to side with each abrupt movement of the vehicle. For ten adrenaline-fueled minutes, I struggled to maintain control and distance from our pu
