Leah’s POVMy earbuds are stuck deep in my ears. I am listening to my music, nodding my head and almost dancing. But despite my loud music, l hear a loud commotion coming from outside. Unsure if I am hearing right, I pull out my ear pods and the noise increases. From my bedroom window, I can see my mother's convoy approaching. Immediately they arrive, the guards start filing out of the car and I noticed that they are tensed up. I wonder what is happening that makes them so tense- their formations tighter than usual and they stand at attention. I am still trying to figure out what is happening when I see Alora. Wow! See who is tired of running from home. My dear sister, bound in silver chains, bleeding because of the spikes on the chain that drags and tears her skin aggressively as she walksFrom the way she is reacting that can tell that it is pure silver and the chains are huge with so much spikes around them her body is all bloodedI rush downstairs, my heart pounding with a mix of
"Harry!" Mother screams- she is no longer as calm as before. Most of the time, mummy confuses me- I cannot tell you she likes daddy if she hates him. She runs to him as the guards pull him away from Alora. There is red all over his skin now- forming chain marks where the chain had touched himI stand there, rooted to the spot, watching. How everything is turning chaotic. Lucas is now fighting against his chains again, trying to reach both Alora and Father. Mother is already screaming at the guard- she is giving them orders to do something immediately. She is demanding they fetch the healer. And Alora... Alora had finally lifted her head completely, and she is staring into my eyes… she looks different. It is as if she doesn't hate me. She is not angry at me. But… but she pities me. Pity? Who should be in the position to pity each other. It should be me having pity on her! I fold my hands in anger, temporarily forgetting the situation on groundI turned away first- even though I am ang
Hours has passed since Alora's return. It is night and I cannot sleep properly. Mother has not really told me where she found her, and the circumstances surrounding it. Every time I close my eyes, I see Lucas's face - not looking at me with love, but staring at my sister with such love and devotion it makes me sick. I roll over in my bed, grabbing my phone to look at King Alonso's picture again. There is a news on the internet saying that the search for Alora should stop- I think he knows that Alora is here and I wonder what he will do next. I wish I can have him for myself- he's a very fine man… his facial features…. They make me want to touch myself in a very unholy way Show me it is morning and my wolf is eager- she wants to make sure that everything is handled. I decide it's time to pay Alora a visit. The silver chains have weakened her significantly which is very good, but I wonder why she needs that amount of chains and spikes to bind her down- it's not like she is such a stron
I need to deal with Lucas. I find him in the gardens, where he's allowed limited supervision and limited time. He's looking toward the dungeons, probably thinking about Alora. Rubbish. By the time I am done with hom, he will be crawling and begging me for mercy"What are you doing?" I ask, making him jump. He looks at me but he does not say anything. "You know, I just thought of your sister, Emma. She is growing up to be a fine woman..."His head snaps toward me. "Leave her out of this,” he growls"Why should I? She's such a sweet girl. Sixteen, right? Or twelve? I don't know, but I know she just joined the young wolves club," I roll my eyes casually. "It would be a shame if something happened to her. A random rogue attack, perhaps? An accident? Wolves can be so unpredictable...""You wouldn't dare," he growls, but I see the fear in his eyes and I know that his voice shakes a little"Try me and see" I smile. "Now, about our engagement announcement? Should it be next week…?”"I'll neve
Alpha Harry's POVMy heart shatters into a million pieces when I see my daughter in chains. My precious Alora, bound in silver, her skin torn and bleeding, looking like she's been through hell and back. The guards are everywhere, their formations are so tense, it makes me worry about Alora, but I barely notice their presence. All I can see is my little girl- the one who I have so neglected"My little girl," I whisper, the words escaping before I can stop them. My feet move of their own accord, carrying me toward her despite the guards' warnings about the silver. I push past them like they're made of nothing. Nothing matters except reaching my daughter.The moment I wrap my arms around her, the silver burns into my flesh. The pain is excruciating - worse than I remember from my stronger days when my wolf was still responsive. But I don't care. I hold her tighter, pulling her disorganised hair and head against my chest, feeling her tears dropping slowly and painfully on my skin"Alora"
King Alonso's POVI sit on my throne, absentmindedly flipping through the report book as I listen to Beta Leo's daily report. I just let my eyes hover over the pages for a small moment only to see if what Leo is saying aligns with what the book is saying. As a Lycan king, I should feel more at ease now that the kingdom is experiencing a rare moment of small peace, but something keeps nagging at the back of my mind…"The rogue wolf attacks have decreased by seventy percent in the past few days," Leo says, thank God he has not left any funny comments since he started reading from his scroll. "The border patrols report only two minor incidents, both handled without casualties on our side,” I can hear a bit of pride in his voice as he talks.I nod, my enhanced Lycan senses picking up the subtle changes in Leo's scent that indicate he's holding something back. We've been friends since childhood, and I know all his gestures- when he is hiding something or not. "Stop choking on it, Leo. Wha
Alpha Harry's POVThe silver burns never stop hurting. I lie in my bed as always, staring at the damn ceiling. By now I don't think its colour would ever get out of my head. I have counted the box designs on it like a million times now and I know for sure that there are sixty thousand, a hundred and eleven box designs on it. The counting has become like a ritual- a life saving attempt to focus on anything but the searing agony that is always flowing through my veins. Now I am counting again, even though I am sure of the numbers. My arms are wrapped in thick bandages- new ones because it keeps pouring out smelly liquid. The bandage that was so white when put initially has not done yellow and smelly. I wonder how Agatha manages to even stand me now. The worst part is that, it is not only my hands that are affected- I have injuries on my stomach, my legs, almost everywhere in my bodyMy body is always covered and wrapped in a place, but the pain seeps through anyway. Sometimes I wonder
Alpha Harry’s POVMy legs feel like they're made of jelly, trembling under my weight as I force myself to stand. My efforts are futile, because the first step I take sends me falling to the ground like an ant hill crashing down under the weight of a tractor. I fall close to the table by the bed. As I fall, I scatter medicine bottles and bandages across the floor, the glass containers rolling away with soft clicking sounds against the ground, some breaking and spilling medicine on the ground violently."Alpha Harry!" A guard rushes in, probably stationed outside my door as usual. He has this look I am used to- the one of pity and disgust all mixed together to form one expression. "You shouldn't be standing, the doctors say…""Get out," I growl, but it is not a growl because it sounds more like a wheeze- a pathetic wheeze, not even a good one. When he hesitates, I show my teeth with a hissing sound- now human teeth now, but still enough to make him back away. The effort makes black spot
Lucas’s POVSometimes my mother labours just to put food on our table and to make matters worse, I am not even there to help her. 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
Lucas’s POV“Nonsense?” Agatha repeats with a raised eyebrow“I… I mean…” I stutter as I fight against my wolfThis wealth would change everything - not just for me but for my mother and my younger siblings. Although averagely okay, we have always needed more money. With this kind of money, we could live like royalty.“Do not listen to her,” mgrowls. “Think of Alora. Think of what they are doing to her. You promised her that you will come back for her!”I do think of Alora. Alora, my ex-mate. So kind is she. She has suffered a lot and she needs a saviour to save her. Should that saviour be me? I do think of Alora, but I also think of Maligils- the servant woman who tried to help Alora in the dungeons by sneaking food to her and standing up against Agatha. I still think of her severed head till this day. I think of Alora’s own father- Alpha Harry- even he did not survive Agatha’s wrath. I think of Harold, his own father did not even care after Agatha stabbed him. Would I be the one t
Lucas’s POVThe full moon is today, and I have never felt so conflicted in my life. I look at the bottle containing sleeping pills that I have made and I put it back in my pocket . The last wedding attempt between Alora and Alpha Leo had ended and the wedding has been rescheduled. I will make sure that this one coming does not hold eitherThe pack house is busy with activity. Everyone is preparing for tomorrow's celebration of Alora’s wedding, but today is the full moon and the festival is being held tonight too.“We have to be really careful,” my wolf reminds me again.These pills can be strong- my father taught me. And the best part of it is how invincible it goes after administration. If administered too much, it can lead to a slight comaPoor Alora. I have not seen her in days. They have kept her locked in that room since the announcement, probably afraid she would run like she tried to do the last time. I would too, if I were her.Even though I have gained enough trust from Leah
Alora’s POV"Please," I beg. "Don't do this. I am a virgin.""Even better," Leo grins, trying to kiss my face, his breath hot and smelly breath directly in my nose. I feel disgusted. “Stop fighting me. Just give me your sugar..."I shake as his hands tear my cloth. His hand is greasy, disgusting. He pulls off his clothes, pressing his naked body presses against my body, his bloated stomach and wrinkled skin makes me recoil in disgust. The sight of the BDSM equipment he has laid out on the bedside table makes me so scared. This is to be my fate? I will be violated by this monster who stood by laughing while my mother murdered his own son.My strength is fading. The alpha is too big for me to fight off. Each push against his chest makes me grow weaker. I am even too weak to cry. Perhaps it would be easier to just give up. Maybe I should just let it happen so it will be over sooner. My struggle is futile anyway. No one will save me.I close my eyes, I am surrendering. Thisis how it is
Alonso’s POVShe is lying. The prophecy described the white wolf and she doesn’t fit the description one bit. I ignire her and so does everyone. "Begin the ceremony."The elder hesitates, looking between me and Agatha, clearly scared of Agatha. But he should be scared of me. “What are you waiting for!?” I growl, shakihim to his root.“Ye… yes…” stutters, rushing to take his position before us."We gather here today," he begins, his voice shaking terribly. He is in trouble. When I leave, Agatha will have his head. I will grant him freedom after this. I will make sure she does jot touch him. I will declare that no entity touches him because of what he is about to do.“Be free, you have my freedom,” I declare. “I know you are scared of your Luna, but no one will touch you because you now have my seal!” I add and I can see as he visibly relaxesAgatha lets out a long angry sigh- another of her plans burnt to ashes. The elder takes up more comfortable position. Clearing his throat, he says
Alonso’s POV"I want to leave," Alora pleads, holding my shirt as if to say she would never let go. "Please take me away from here. I can't stay. They'll try again. My mother will never let me go unless...""Unless what, Alora?"She looks at me, with fear in her eyes and all her body trembling "Unless I belong to someone else. She said I need to be tamed."I understand what she means. “What do you mean?” I ask just to be sure“Just take me away from here, when I find my footing, I would leave and never disturb you,” she cries“I could help you. You can even stay in my kingdom for as long as you want,” I say as an idea forms into my head. I think that what I am about to do is not exactly honourable, but as it is now me and Alora are caught in a tight position. Alora needs safety and I need someone to just show the pack elder as the white wolf. And since Alora is a silver omega wolf, I could just prove to the elders that Alora is the white wolf. What I am about to do is not exactly mora
Alonso’s POV“Consummate what!?” I boom out loud. Oh my moon goddess, I hope I am not too late to save her. I will hate myself if something happens to her. I should have arrived here earlier. "Take me there. Now!” I cannot believe my earsMy ears yes glows as Ispeak and the wolves move away in fear- none of them want me to attack them"The main house," the old elder says. "Second floor, by the right."Agatha gives the old woman a threatening stare as if to promise her death, but the old woman looks away. Agatha still does not say anything, she still has a bruised ego. I am sure that if I leave, Agatha would scatter the whole pack and throw tantrums“Okay,” I say, then I look at Agatha "I still have business with you," I tell her. "When I return, we will discuss your crimes against your own daughter, you wicked and pathetic being ."I then move sharply. Pack members scatter out of my way in fear. I can also feel the relief of most of them in the airAs I approach the room, I hear some
Alonso’s POVI slow my pace as I spot the first guards at the gates of the pack. They stand more at attention, as they recognize who I am. Who does not recognize the lycan king? Not many have seen a Lycan King up close, but they all know what I look like because I am always on the news."I seek entrance to your territory," I state, not bothering with greetings. "I am Alonso, King of the Alistair Kingdom."The guards exchange nervous glances before one steps forward. "Alpha Agatha has ordered that no outsiders are to be allowed in today. There is a... celebration in progress.""Celebration?" I ask curiously"A wedding, Your Majesty. Alpha Leo is taking a mate today."“Who is he making a mate of?” I as“The daughter of the Alpha, Alora.”“Alora?” I ask in shock. No wonder I have been restless about this topic. A wedding? I sniff in about three times when a scent hit me. A female wolf is in hear and because I have been with Alora before, I can tell the heat is for Alora. She is in heat.
Leo’s POV"I am the white wolf," she repeats, and this time around she looks me straight in the eyes. "The moon goddess sent several messengers to tell me that I am the chosen one who is destined to break Alonso's curse."I stare at her in surprise. She must be joking right? This is definitely a joke. How can the white wolf come to us? The prophecy says that the King would search for the white wolf and he would be the one to bring her home himself. But Elena’s expression remains serious,"Elena, I… don’t…." I stutter slighShe shakes her head. "I know you don’t believe it. didn't believe it either, not at first. But something happened to me after I left the kingdom."She stands up suddenly, standing directly in front of me. "Six months ago, I started having these dreams. They were significant. It was a pull. Two days a pull came after that”"A pull?" I say after her, trying to understand her words."A mate bond, Leo," she says simply, rolling her eyes like she is explaining to a dumb
