View MoreI lay on the bed staring straight at the white ceiling. I am lost in confusion and I feel so much despair. Suddenly I feel my stomach growling- it is sharp and painful. I remember that I have not eaten since… I can't even remember now. I feel the ache in my stomach grow more and more, but I don't even have the energy to move. I feel so weak nowI shift uncomfortably on the bed, my hand is feeling around the bed to find my purse. But then I realise almost immediately- my purse- I don't think I have seen it since I woke up. My purse has my money in it and I think it is gone!My money is gone. I have saved it up for months in a hole I had dug in my room. It had not been easy since I rarely got any money of my own, but I started running small errands for the big girls in school - that is how I got money to save up. I have been stashing up every coin I could, planning my escape from the pack. All gone now, like it's air from cigar slipping out of my lipsI feel my body shutting down in dis
I am shocked when I discover that the man in front of me is King Alonso, but I don't show it. I don't want to act impress for some reasons, especially not when he just sees me as something he can use. Yes, that is what I call it. Why does he not want to tell me the real reason why a king would settle for an omega? His request is unsettling in my stomach. His offer is juicy. His Kingdom is greater than my father's territory, so it would be possible that he protects me. It is understandable on my own side why I would want to marry him, but why would he want to marry me? What would people say? What would he tell his people? What reason would he give them that he married an omega- the weakest of the pack?I stay motionless on the bed as I watch the overshadowing man on his back on me, picking up his phone. I am relieved a little when his attention is no longer on me, but still I am not comfortable. Is deep voice feels the air as he talks to the other person on the phone“What is it, Leo?
Beta Leo hesitates for a while, but when he sees that I am serious he steps out with a grumble, leaving me alone with the omegaI sit beside her on the bed, watching as she turns around on the bed. Then her eyes begin to flutter, her face starts to move slightly before her eyes open up softly. That is when I really get to see them. Her iris arebrown, warm but filled with confusion and struggle“You are awake,” I say with a soft voice and I am confused if I should sound that soft with her since we have no relationship with each otherShe jerks up suddenly as if she finally understood that she was not familiar with me or the environment she was in. She winces too, her hands flying to her abdomen“Careful,” I mutter, moving closer to her as her eyes darts around wildly - meeting mine and flicking around the room“Who are you? Where am I ? What do you want ? Please don't hurt me!” her words are rushed“What? No!” I am suddenly defensive. I never thought of what to do if she wakes up and
“King Alonso,” one of the two bulky looking guards is in my front with a stern face. I let out a low growl at their approach, and I match their energy with my own firm authority“We need to ask you a few questions,” he continues, his eyes darting between mine and the body of the girl in my hands“I'm in a hurry, so be quick,” I snarled“Fine, fine,” the first guard steps aside for the other to continue“Who is the girl, why is she unconscious and alone with you?” the second guard is speaking as he keeps looking at Alora’s weak body.I feel my beast snarl, but I control it almost immediately. “She was drugged at your Alpha's ball. I found her unconscious and I want to make sure that she is safe”The guards exchanged suspicious looks between each other before the gaze of the second landed on me in scrutiny. “How can you prove to me that she was drugged?”“Can't you see how she looks like? Can't you see that her breathing is raspy and she needs help?”“Did you drug her?” he dares to ask
Alonso’s POVMy patience is running dangerously thin. I have endured enough of this insufferable evening. The crowd is suffocating, the girls are suffocating, the smell of desperation is everywhere in the air. My beast is agitating already and if I don't take care it would start controlling me. I am frustrated. My eyes scan the ground hall frantically.I am practically searching for a new hiding spot. Anywhere dark, anywhere quiet, anywhere that is far away from the relentless voices and the wandering eyes of the hungry girls around here. I move swiftly but carefully in the crowd. I try to avoid any girl coming close to me. I can still feel the eyes of the other girl that I had shunned boring into me like she is going to kill me at any moment.Then suddenly, something- no, someone- collides into me with a thud like they are not looking at where they are going. I make a low growl, distinctively my fangs came out too. Then I look down to see a young woman almost crumbling at my feetHer
Leah’s POV“Announcing the arrival of Alpha…”I roll my eyes immediately when I hear the title Alpha. A lot of dignitaries are here and they are either Alphas, Betas or their entourage. I am tired of see boring people parade in with false bravado as the announcer screams their names in the microphone“Alpha Alonso, the King of the Alistair Kingdom…”My eyes shoot open as I hear the Kingdom. King Alonso!? I have been waiting all night for his arrival. So why did the announcer address him as Alpha instead of King? This is one common mistake a lot of pack members make- addressing the Lycan King as Alpha. I hear even the Lycams make this same mistake often and this irritates me every timeOh well, that aside- the King is hereOh my goddess, my wolf is so excited. She is yelping so much. What if I get mated to the Lycan king. My father would be so proud of me. If our pack comes in alliance with the Alistair Kingdom, we would be the greatest pack ever and I would even get to be his queen.
Soon we are in the car for the long drive to the Midnight pack. When the car starts slowing down, I look out of the window and I can tell that we are almost at our destination. I start drumming on the seat anxiously and I catch Beta Leo staring at me. Although he is quiet I can tell that there are a lot of things you want to say. But thank the goddess he is not talking, the last thing I need is for anyone to talk around me. He still sits in silence even though he knows that we have gotten to our destination. Maybe he is silent because he is not ready to face me or he can sense my simmering discomfortI decide to stare out of the window instead. The pack house is beautiful. Decorated everywhere was different colours of light to add to the celebration. The car stops in front of the pack house and a service man rushes to usher me in with a bow. “Welcome how far Alonso of the Alistair Kingdom,” he says as he ushers me and Leo inI mutter a small, “Thank you,” as I take my steps behind him
Alonso POVI am brooding over a document my beta gave to me the previous day when I hear a timid knock on the door. The knock jolts me from my thoughts and I am not even aware when I let out an angry growl and knock over the glass cup of water on my table, and I watch as the glass hits the ground and shatters everywhere as if to equate my anger.The documents I was studying before the knock came are the documents of territory land ownership from the Young Moon pack. We have been having a lot of back on forth because of the ownership topic, so when the impromptu knock comes, my beast goes mad“Who dares to knock on my door!?” I spit, my voice filling with venom as I fumes“Good … good day …Alpha Alonso,” comes a stammering, scared, feminine voice from behind the door“What do you want!” I walk furiously to the door and fling it open. Standing behind the door is a timid servant girl dressed in the usual palace servant uniform. I instantly remember that she is the new maid I employed a f

AURELIA Please, moon goddess. Do not forsake me. Beads of sweat trickled down my forehead as my eyelids burned with the tears I fought desperately to keep. The air was thick with anticipation as I stood at the centre of the arena. Torches lined the walls, and the entire Nightfall pack watched in silence. Tonight was supposed to be my night—the night I proved to everyone, especially my father, that I was worthy. The night I would shift into my wolf for the first time and claim my rightful place as beta beside my brother, Cronos.People from far and wide had been invited to watch me transform into a glorious wolf that’ll serve them and protect them as I had trained all my life to do. But as the priests chanted their incantations, calling upon the moon and stars to bless me with the gift of my wolf, a sickening feeling , something like fear, settled in the pit of my stomach. I felt nothing. I clenched my fists, digging my nails into my palms to steady myself, waiting for the shift...
