King Alonso's POVMy body starts to change. It is not like my normal transformations. Those are smooth, although painful they are smooth and controlled. This is very violent. My bones crack and reshape themselves with snaps. My muscles tear and regrow bigger, stronger. My already large Lycan form gets even larger, more monstrous. I feel my claws growing longer, sharper. But the worst part is what is happening in my head."Please," I beg my beast, even though I know it will not listen. "Do not do this. We cannot kill again. Please."I feel my beast laugh. “Just shut up and know your place!”Then I feel myself being pushed back, deeper and deeper into my own head. It is like watching through a hazy net window as someone else takes control of my body. The thing that takes control of my body is a monster that only wants to kill.The beast's thoughts start to fill our mind. It is hungry. It wants to hunt. It wants to feel blood on our claws and flesh between our teeth. It wants to hear the
Chapter 69Alpha Harry's POVOkay, okay…I have read the letter. Does it mean that I should sit down and wallow in worry doing nothing!? I have to stand up. Noone is taking any of my daughters away from me- both Alora and my sassy, wicked Leah.The key feels heavy in my palm as I drag myself along the wall. My legs are weak, but I keep moving. The smell of my own blood fills my nose - the bandages are soaked through again. Down the hall, voices echo. Guards discussing their shift rotation. I press myself into a shady area, waiting for them to pass."Did you hear?" one guard whispers. "They say she hasn't made a sound in hours.""Maybe she finally broke," the other replies. "About time. Luna Agatha will be pleased. I don't pity that girl, she is a strange one"My fingers curl into fists, reopening the wounds on my palms. Fresh blood drips onto the floor. I don't care. The only thing is that they might follow the trail. But I will make sure that by the time they find me, it will be too
Agatha’s POVThe satisfaction of watching Alora run is intoxicating. Her futile attempts at escape remind me of a trapped bush rat, desperately seeking freedom that would never come. Darren's men pursue her, their movements clumsy! How is she so agile? Dodging the men as they topple over each other!?. For a moment, I think she might actually escape, but then three more guards appear, and they finally catch her."No!" Her screams pierce the air. "Let me go!"The sound of her struggles brings a smile to my face. She fights against their grip like a wild animal, but soon realises the futility of her resistance. Her voice grows smaller, more pathetic. The way I like it to be- submissive"Please," she whimpers. "Please don't do this." She keeps looking at Lucas, tears streaming down her face. "Lucas, please..."I watch as Lucas turns away, unable to bear the sight. He's played his part well, though his weakness disgusts me. Still, he's proven useful in bringing her here."Bring her here," I
Agatha’s POVA few days later, I sit in my room, surrounded by books, occasionally checking the internet for the internet does not have a lot of information like the books and scrolls. The display of power from Alora that I witnessed that day has consumed my thoughts. How could my weak, pathetic omega wolf of a daughter possess such abilities?The silver chains should have burned her flesh, yet they barely left a mark. More importantly, the guards who touched her white energy still bear the scars of their actions- their foolishness in Alora’s eye. At first, their wounds refuse to heal despite our best healers' efforts but now it is healingI flip through another dusty book and I let my eyes go through the pages- hopefully I will get answers. My research has taken me deep into the forbidden sections of our pack's library, where texts about forbidden wolf bloodlines are kept under lock and key- no one should go there, not even the highest ranking member. But I am not just anyone. I am t
Alora’s POVSilver does nothing to me- that I just found out. Well not that it doesn't do anything to me- it does something, but not the normal effect it has on other wolves. In fact, I hate silver. It stings! No, it burns like fire! It makes me wish for death. But it doesn't give me terrible injuries like it did to my dad.My dad, I never really understand him. I don't know if he likes me or not. He watches mother torment me every time, yet he hugs me despite all the silver I was tied with. Where does he even stand?The cold stone floor of the dungeon has become my unwanted companion. My body trembles- I am always cold. I am always beaten up. The guards make sure that I am always in pain. I wonder if they enjoy my suffering like my family does. They are always pressing fresh silver into my skin every few hours, just enough to keep me weak always. My wolf whimpers inside me, too drained to even communicate the little that she usually doesI can't even measure time. The only thing I us
Alora’s POVIt is surprising to me that Agatha seems to be struck by Maligils’ words- perhaps she is quiet because nobody has ever challenged her like this. But of course, Agatha would always be Agatha. With a screeching Yell, she pounces on Maligils and she starts kicking her. “How dare you talk to me like that!?” Agatha punctuates all her words with kicks and she spits out mucus on Maligils. I on the other hand just stay behind bars in the cell and I scream for her to stop, but Agath listens to no one."Mother, stop this!" I grip the silver-laced bars, ignoring the burning sensation on my palms. "She's done nothing wrong!""Nothing wrong?" -kick- "Nothing" -kick- "WRONG?" Agatha's face is sulfurious. she punctuates each word with a deadly kick. "This decrepit wolf has been violating my instructions!”Maligils crumples to the ground, but her eyes remain fixed on me, filled with concern even now. "Alora… look away…""Shut up!" Agatha spits, another thick and yellow glob of mucus land
Agatha’s POVAgatha lets out a shrill scream and throws Maligils to the ground. "Get her out of my sight! Take her to the square!" She turns to Sunday. "Make sure every member of the pack is there to watch. I want her to die a shameful death!”As the guards drag Maligils away, she calls out one last time: "Be strong, Alora! I am… sorry I have to go like this…”"Shut her up!" Agatha kicks Maligils in the head, silencing her.She turns to me, and the look on her face makes my blood run cold. "You're lucky I need you alive for Alpha Leo," she snarls. "Or you'd be joining her in the square."I try to speak through the gag, but Sunday tightens it painfully. Alpha Leo? What is coming next?"Get her ready," Agatha orders. “After the execution, clean her up. Alpha Leo won't want to see her like this." She pauses at the door. "I slump against the cold floor, thankful that Anna has escaped, but Maligils..? I feel so much sorrow. Agatha is dragging her by the head and walking away. Sunday final
The guards lead me to the pack house's main living room, and my heart stops. What is happening today? I have been asking myself this question ever since they were forcefully dressing me up. Why is everyone dressed formally? Why is the room decorated as if for a celebration? Why is father grinning as he sits in his Alpha chair? Something must be is wrong- he covers himself excessively and that is not a style of dressing. I can see that he is trying to smile away his pain, but his eyes are dull and his movements more sluggish than usual. I know he is still sick. Agatha stands beside him, triumphant in a red dress that matches the blood still staining the square outside. She is evil address is red and there are black highlights everywhere, black lipstick, black nails, black stones on her dressMy mother's eyes flash immediately she sees me and she walks furiously toward me- what is this new drama for? The way she hits her palm on my face makes my neck crack and my head snap backwards.
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
