I pick up my phone and I start calling Lucas. He is not picking at first- two missed calls. I am getting impatient- how could he be so careless with his phone now that he has a very crucial position in the pack security office? But he calls me back

"Alpha," his voice comes through. He always talks to me in a formal tone

"Lucas." I pause, letting the earlier resentment I had for him fade out. "Any... movement at the borders?"

“What do you mean sir?” his voice comes from the phone

“Have you seen Alora pass the borders?” I ask impatiently

“Alora? No… no…, Alpha Harry,” there's a slight show of surprise on the other end. "No sign of her, sir. I've had my best guards watching, especially during the night shifts. But Alora hasn't tried to cross the borders. I strongly feel that she is in this pack."

The concern in his voice when mentioning my older daughter's name is evident. I start to wonder why he cares so much about Alora that he has not even asked about his betrothed, Leah. I tried to

    The library feels colder tonight. I sit in my leather chair, staring at the shattered remains of the glass table. I should have called a servant to come and clean it, but for some weird reasons I didn't. I subtly want to watch the evidence of my rage scattered all over the ground. Agatha's words resounded in my head: "You're not sleeping in the room today. That is your punishment!" As if I'm a child to be disciplined rather than her Alpha, her mate. But at least I am a good husband“You are no Alpha,” my wolf snarls at me. Oh moon goddess! I am tired of his constant poke nosing in the affairs of my life. “An Alpha would not let his mate treat him this way. An Alpha would not let his daughter become a monster like you are letting Leah become. The pack members are right, you are breeding a monster in your home!” he continuesI try to ignore him, but it seems like he is trying to strike a nerve- my nerve. "Shut up," I growl into the room. The alcohol in my glass trembles as my hand shake

    "What search order?" Agatha glared at me. She takes a step toward me, her eyes searching my eyes to check for the truth. "After I specifically told you to leave Alora alone? Harry!?”"Agatha, I was just…” I begin, but she cuts me off with a sharp look."You were just trying to do what, Harry? Oh goddess, Harry!” her voice rises with each word. "Did you think I wouldn't find out? You just issued an order without consulting me first!”Leah's eyes dance between us, and I can see that she is enjoying the whole drama. "He wanted to make it really severe on her mommy. He said he would put her in the dark chambers and execute her with public flogging, the whole thing." She pauses, playing withher whip thoughtfully. "Though personally, I think Alora deserves worse for abandoning us. She picked up a fight with me and she ran away. Dhe injured me”"Leah, please…" I try to interject, but my daughter isn't finished."You know what's funny, Daddy?" Leah continues, her voice dripping with mock inno

    Leah's PovI am happy as I watch how the first journalist is dragged forward towards the raised podium where I stand. I feel like a symbol of justice. If it were in the old times, perhaps I would be an executioner. I like the way the whip fits in my hands. I spent all night practicing how to whip without getting tired and I am so excited so much that I cannot wait to start dealing with all these people who thought they could challenge me and go scott free.I let my eyes land on the journalist and I laugh at his pathetic attempt to speak. He doesn't really concern me, the people I really want to deal with are those ones that dared to push me out of the boss the day I was coming from the Alistair Kingdom. I would have loved to use my fresh strength to punish them, but I want to punish others first so the criminals from the bus would shudder in fear. I want them to die from fear before I even touch themThe journalist keeps trying to beg me and it even infuriates me the more because he k

    I see a young wolf of thirteen years, she is beaten up and weak. It is a miracle that she is alive. She has destroyed her life by liking and commenting harshly about me. I smile at her as she tries to look up to meI approach Daddy, I know he hates me now but I don't care. "Daddy? Wasn't I strong? Didn't I make you proud?" I ask him with puppy eyesHe looks at me and he let his eyes fall on me, taking in the sight of my bloody face. Then with a face smile, he says, "Of course, princess," he says. "You did very well. I am proud of you."Mother joins us, beaming. "You did well, Leah,” she looks around with a smile. “You have really matured,” she rubs my head roughly. "Shall we have dinner? I think this calls for a celebration."As we drive back to the pack house, I imagine King Alonso hearing of this day. He'll understand then that I'm nothing like my weak sister. I'm strong and I am ready to rake up the position as his queen. Maybe my name would dance to him in the rumours and he will

    I feel my heart stop when Daddy's gaze remains fixed on me. Although I see him as weak, there is a kind of image I want to put up with him."Alonso mentioned in his letter that Alora was drugged into heat that night. Did you have anything to do with it, Leah?" his voice is cold. He doesn't sound as weak as he seemed earlier onBefore I can respond, Mother jumps to my defense, her voice carrying disappointment.. "Harry, we've been through this before! Why do you like opening up old wounds? Leah only put Alora's medication in her drink because Alira refused to take them. As a matter of fact, I told her to do it. Leah would not deliberately hurt her sister! She loves Alora, but Alora doesn't reciprocate the love!”My eyes widens as Mother speaks. How does she know about that night? I thought… I thought… I had. The question in my mind must show on my face because Mother turns to me with an explanatory look."Someone sent us pictures from that night, darling," she says softly, reaching out

    Alora’s POVI remain sprawled on the cold interrogation floor. I no longer feel the pain of Lucas's betrayal, but I still feel rejected. No one wants ro have anything to do with me."Alora, Alora..." Lucas takes quick steps towards me. "I know you're hurting, but you have to understand… please stand up…""Leave me alone!" I snap, wiping tears from my cheeks with dirty hands. “You are now happily engaged to my sister? What exactly am I supposed to understand, Lucas?"Before he can respond, the small television mounted in the corner of the room suddenly crackles to life as if waiting for the right time. How sudden it comes on makes me flinch and yelp, but what I see on the screen immediately makes my eyes fly open, I can feel my blood going cold. Showing on the television is the pack’s square, and standing on a podium is my sister Leah. What she is doing …. I feel nauseated and my heart is in mouthI see wolves - men, women, even some barely teenagers- are being forced to strip naked i

    Harry's POVI cannot do anything as I watch Agatha snatch the letter from the messenger's hands. The servant wolf had obviously addressed it to me, his Alpha, but I remain silent as my wife tears open the royal seal from the Alister Kingdom. The messenger's eyes dart with uncertainty between us before he bows and hurriedly away before my wife pours her unbridled venoms on him. My heart beats in it's cage as I see Agatha scan through the letter. I never wanted her to know that I had written to king Alonso first“Do you know that the servant now talk about you?” my wolf's voice rumbles through my mind, dripping with disgust. “They say you are weak…”“I don't believe you!” I cut him short. “How did you know what they are saying about me?”“You seem to forget your alpha powers!” he growls. “Ever since you decided to submit to this woman, you forget that you are the first grey wolf of the midnight pack. You forget that according to history, your true offsprings would be highly sought after

    I try to fight my wolf but somewhere within me I know that he is right. Along the way, I hated myself for being tied down by Agatha, so I convinced myself that being a good husband and father meant accepting all her abuse. As if that was not enough, I told myself I was protecting the pack by keeping peace in my home. But all I've done is enable wickedness to grow stronger under my roofI watch through my wolf's eyes as Leah maintains her tears and as Agatha rages about King Alonso's letter. This is not the first time I have found myself in this type of situation- a crying Leah and Agatha who would defend her even though she is going against logic. And there I would sit in front of them, speechless.But today is different. Today I have let my wolf take over now he is questioning everything they are saying. He is demanding the truth.

    Alonso’s POVI follow Leo to the secure room deep beneath the castle. This is where I spend every full moon, locked away from everyone for their safety. The full moon possesses my beast, and we can’t let evil happenThe room door is blocked with steel and silver. Chains hang from the walls, attached to my limbs and body to hold against supernatural strength."Are you ready?" Leo asks as he helps me secure the chains around my wrists and ankles.“Yes,”I reply grimly.“Stop this!” my beast suddenly roars inside my head. “Something is different tonight! Don't chain us! I promise not to go feral!”I ignore him. My beast always fights the restraints and at points like this, he becomes very manipulative. On the full moon, my beast becomes a monster. This is the curse I have to bear- alongside this terminal sickness has been eating me up. I don’t even know the name, and it doesn’t show yet. But only I know how I feel. If Elena is the white wolf, at least I should feel better, but I am worse

    Alonso’s POV“Marrying who!? What the hell?” I stutter. "What are you suggesting?" I ask, even though I suspect what he might say"You will marry both women," Fergus announces. "Alora will remain your wife, but Elena will be declared your first wife, as she is the wife of prophecy."“Why, I married Alora first!”“We shall follow the prophecy or risk the wipe out of the lycans! You are lucky the goddess is not asking you to disengage yourself from the wolf you married without the consent of any elder!”This makes no sense! I open my mouth to speak, but Leo steps close and whispers, "Hold your horses, Alonso. Think before you speak. The kingdom needs this. You don’t even know this Alora girl from anywhere”I look at Alora, feeling a pang of guilt. I married her first so why is she pushed to the position of second wife? But doesn't seem upset or even interested in the conversation. Instead, I see her smiling and playing with a group of pups around her feet. She is making funny faces at

Why did he let all of these happen?I take a paise and I look around. Everywhere is decorated with white flowers and ribbons. Guards are not even standing in proper attention- their faces are tainted with smiles. This is jo pose for a guar"Your Majesty!" one guard calls out as he sees me. "Ah! Thanks be to the goddess that you have returned! We have a celebrationq!""What celebration?" I demand, trying not to lose my coolThe guard looks surprised. "The white wolf has come, Your Majesty! The prophecy is fulfilled! We are no longer a cursed kingdom!”I nearly drop Alora in shock. "What did you say?""The white wolf," he repeats. "She arrived yesterday. She has proven to be authentic. The entire kingdom is celebrating!"My mind tumbles. This is impossible. The prophecy clearly states that I must find the white wolf. She doesn't come to me - I go to her

    Alonso’s POVI carry Alora in my arms as we leave the Midnight Pack. Her weight is nothing to me. My wolf is strong, and she is small - too small for a wolf her age. I think she is disliked because of how they have been treating her all these years. I cannot even start to imagine the kind of painful audit she has been through in this packShe does not speak much as I run through the forest. The drugs they gave her for the heat are still affecting her, making her drowsy. She just trust me completely- latching onto me as if I am her only hope"How long before we reach your kingdom?" she asks in a small voice."A few hours," I reply straightforwardly. I don’t want to engage in any type of conversation that would bring up feelings. This is a business arrangement, nothing more. I married her to save her from that wretched pack and their abusive Luna. In return, she will be my queen - pretend to be the white wolf so that the elders will stop pressuring me to find a mate, and I can focus on

    Alora’s POVLucas has been the one to suggest that Alpha Leo consummate the marriage immediately. He has betrayed me completely, selling me out for wealth and status that my mother and sister lures him with"You were the one who told Alpha Leo to take me by force," I say. "You pretended to be my friend all these years, and then you sold me for what? Money?"Now that King Alonso has come to save me, perhaps I should just see my mind. What can they do to me?Lucas explains coldly. "I am mated to Leah, I could be somebody. With you, it just suffering ""You are pathetic," I spit. "You traded my life for your wealth.""It isn't personal," Lucas shrugs. "Emma money for schooling . And Leah... well, she's not damaged like you are."His words cut deep. He has become a coldhearted beast all because of money. I am beyond caring now. I have one more thing to do before I leave this cursed place forever."Take me to my father," I say to Alonso. "Please. Just for a moment."“Okay,” he says, carry

    Lucas’ POVLeo's turns into a wild, wide grin. "I like this suggestion. Very much,” he says. “ What is your name again?”“Lucas,” I reply acting like I am very into this shit“ Lucas, I like you very much- you seem to have studied me so much. I will reward you someday.” Leo grins more"Lucas?"Alora's voice, weak but suddenly clear, cries in the air. The drugs must be wearing off just enough for her to understand what is happening. I force myself to look at her finally, keeping my face without any expression on it."Lucas, please," she whispers, tears forming in her eyes. "You promised. You promised you would help me.""I don't know what you are talking about," I say coldly. Even though I cannot bear it I force myself to be rude to her"You promised!" Her voice rises slightly. "You said you would come back for me! That you wouldn't let them do this to me! What happens now? What happened to the promises you made to me?”"Control your bride, Alpha," Agatha says smoothly from her seat o

    Lucas’s POVLeah leans in, her lips brushing against my ear and I just feel like pulling at her lips and slapping them back in. "I always get what I want, Lucas. Always."My wolf growls deep inside me. My wolf is more than angry now, but what can he do? "She is just like her mother. Evil to the core,” he saysI silence him again as trumpets suddenly blow loud in the air, announcing the arrival of Alpha Leo and his entourage. The pack members immediately drop to their knees to show the arrestment,. I follow suit, head bowed, though I can't help but peek up.Alpha Leo's entrance is as usual, but this is the first time I am very close. He is massive, not just in his alpha presence but physically he is as enormous as a whale. A whale is even an understatement. His body has clearly gone beyond what a normal looking wolf shou look like- especially one who is an alpha. His Fat pushes at his groom’s belt, straining the belt and the fabric of his clothes. I wonder to myself if his tailor did

Some people are sad for her, some are indifferent and some just want to watch the drama. This time around, the doors to the throne room would be opened up to all the pack members. I am sure that a whole lot of pack members would attend- because Alora’s heat affected all the males in the pack and the news of her wedding to the gruesome alpha is everywhere now. As I dress up, I can hear the bustle outside and it makes me more tenseI head down stairs where the pack servants are arranging flowers and setting up tables for the feast. Leah spots me and comes running over, throwing her arms around my neck."Lucas!” she pecks me repeatedly on my cheeks. “Oh my Lucas! Is it not wonderful? soo, Alora will be properly mated, and the pack will be secure. You will be my husband very soon too" Her eyes shine with happiness."Yes," I force myself to say. "Wonderful.""Mother told

She has told me several times to abandon Alora, but I have always stood for Alora while my family suffers. Should I abandon my family for a girl? If my mother were here right now, what would she have told me to do? She would have told me to take the money of course“Do not do this, my wolf howls. “Please, please…”“When has being good ever gotten us anything but more suffering?” I ask him to see if he can reason with me“Lucas…” my wolf has no answer other than to advise me stupidly. That is whatbhe always does- he pushes me to danger while just remains in there“Are you accepting my offer or not!” Agatha’s patience os already wearing thin"Yes," I hear myself say with no doubt in it. "I will do it."Agatha's smile widens. "Excellent choice, Lucas."“TRAITOR!” my wolf roars inside my head, making me wince. He is trashing now"Is something wrong?" Agatha ask
