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.
Alora’s POV"Marriage?" What the hell! Please save me somebody! Something! Anything!"I will not marry that... that pig!" I suddenly blurt out. Alpha Leo's eyes flash dangerously at my words. I catch his scent turning angry. The guards' grip on my arms tightens, their claws I'm starting to tear my skin. I can feel blood coming out. But I don't care. If they like they should bring a knife to my throat, I will not still agree to this stupid thing. Let them all see how far they have to go to force me into this."You will watch your mouth, little girl," Alpha Leo growls, his yellowing teeth in a snarl. The stench of whiskey on his breath makes my stomach turn as steps out of his seat and he steps closer. "You should be grateful I'm willing to take you after the shame you've brought to your family."“What will you do if I don't watch it!? You disgusting old pig of a he-wolf! Your breath stinks like the gutters in the ghetto! You are so fat, I wonder how you are still alive to use this da
Leah's POVI have just finished my makeup. This new shade of green contact lens I ordered seems to be one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. I love the way it sits on my eyes and fits my skin tone. And my hair? I just got it done. I stare at the mirror in front of me, adjusting the honey-blonde waves that run down my shoulders. I think I look beautiful. I need to look beautiful incase Lucas shows up. I need to give him a reason to see me again. But all these aside, being fashionably late is an art, and I love it. I don't care who waits for me, they should be honored that I am gracing them with my presence at all.My wolf purrs in satisfaction as I sprained on my favorite perfume. “We are so beautiful, Leah…” she purrs“Yes we are…” I smile, “But we both know that beauty is not enough. We need more power and today… we would be able to ensure that. I spray more perfume. The first one is synthetic and it smells of lillies and vanilla. The second is hand made- I personall
Leah’s POVThe guards hold her firmly between them like she is a wild animal, and I notice with glee the fresh red mark on her cheek where Mother slapped her- at least a dent on that stupid beauty of hers. Whatever, I refuse to admit her looks. In fact, I would say that she looks pathetic in the dress they have forced her into. She looks nothing like the future Alpha people think she will be. Just because she's older doesn't mean she deserves that title. She's weak, uncontrolled, always going into heat at the most inappropriate times... Yes, I will blame her for the uncontrolled heat even of I am the one always inducing itThose herbs I've been slipping into her food for the past year have worked beautifully. Every time Father starts showing her too much attention or consideration, I make sure to spike her next meal. The resulting heat sends her into such a frenzy that Mother has no choice but to chain her with silver - for everyone's safety including hers, of course. It's almost too
Leah's POVI watch with immense satisfaction as they drag my so-called sister away. The guards have her arms pinned, and even with her struggles, they manage to keep a firm hold on her. Her screams sound through the corridor as she disappears from sight. The sound is like music to my ears and I even want to dance to it. The extent of her agony that makes my wolf purr with victory. Even as they drag her away, my eyes is still on them"Shut up!" one of the guards growls at her, but Alora keeps screaming and she keeps fighting as if she has the power to fight off the guards. Very stupid and pathetic girlIf she likes, she should not conserve her energy - she should keep screaming like a goat in labour. By the time she reaches Aloha Leo's pack, she would wish she never wasted her energyI need to follow them. I want to see how Alora is being treated. So before I leave the throne room, I make sure to bow gracefully. Mother always says even though we have the upper hand, a little bit of dec
Leah's POV"I've brought water for my sister," I say- I don't even care to act concerned. "I heard her screaming. The silver must be causing her terrible pain. She needs water."The guards exchange glances. One of the guards, a tall, tan skinned muscular man with blue piercing eyes- the one who is my type- he dares to speak to me and he spoils the fantasy of him that I have in my head. "Lady Leah, I'm not sure it's safe for you to go in there. Your sister is... unstable… she could."I force my eyes to fill with tears. "Please. She's still my sister, no matter what she has done. I can't bear to hear her suffering like this. Just let me give her some water."The guard looks at me, puzzled. Even I would be puzzled. I was just mean to her almost an hour ago in the throne room, now I am almost crying?. "Okay… okay… but we'll accompany you inside. For your safety.""Of course," I say, lowering my eyes. "I understand."The door opens up, and I can hear the sound of Alora's screams more than
Leah's POV"Then since you people will not let me go willingly, I will escape," she says suddenly, a new determination in her voice. "Before the wedding. I'll find a way and I will leave here! I would rather die while escaping than marry that swine of an Alpha!”"No, you won't," I say confidently with a smile. I like the way I am able to maintain my facade of calmness. On a normal day, the thought of Alora would work me up so much that I would react violently- especially if she said it herself like this. But today? I am surprised at my Wolf's ability to control our emotions even though we are seething inside from her words. We have to do everything to make sure that she does not escape. "You will never escape,” I say still with a smile. “You cannot escape when you are bound up like a dog, silver weakening you. And especially not with what is about to happen to you- a romantic joining between you and Alpha Leo. Not after I have put things in place to ensure that you would be wriggling
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
