Leahâs 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... unstableâĶ 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?. "OkayâĶ okayâĶ 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!â"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,â I say still with a smile. âYou 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
Leah's POVEverything about mother is perfect. I am looking at her and I am just wondering to myself - how does she always keep her in place? Her hair is flowing, yes, but they never look tattered. There is never a time where you will catch her with even a single strand out of place- even when she wakes up from sleep, her hair is perfect. She has been that way ever since I have been little. I don't know the reason why she has not told me her secret. Perhaps she is waiting for me to ask her"You did a good thing, Leah. Nice proactiveness,â she makes her grip on the door firmer. âThe elders should be receptive now," she says without turning to look at me. "With Alora's heat coming, they will see reason. Everyone will understand why this union is necessary. No more pity parties for her anymoreâI nod even though she is not looking at me. "Yes, Mother."I smile to myself- I have proven to mother that I could be useful. By now I know that Aloramust be desperate for any flying dick. Her bod
Leah's POVAnd then, suddenly, the much anticipated stuff happens.A scent swims into the room like a jellyfish. It is sweet, but there is an undertone to it. I think I smell it first because I know what it is, because I caused it and I have caused it a million times. This is the smell of Alora's heat. Much stronger than I expected even though I gave her ten times the dose. The herb mixture must have been even more potent than I thought.The scent grows stronger by the second, flooding the room. It is now impossible to ignore. One by one, heads turn toward the doors, nostrils flaring and different emotions rising.The male wolves in the room react instantly. Their eyes get wide and dilate, their breathing becomes shallow, their bodies tense- there is beginning to be sexual tension. The guards grip their weapons tighter- I wonder if the weapons would help them fight against their own instincts. The elders, even the older ones, straighten up, their expressions changing from confusion t
Leah's POV"I don't know what she's talking about," I lie, making an innocent face to maybe gain a little bit of his pity. "I think she is obviously delusional from her heat.""She is lying," Alora moans- her moan sounds so sexy that it makes another guard collapse from sexual tension. "She put something in my water. She has done it before she told me ahe has been doing it for the longestâĶ of time,â her voice fades away towards the endMother steps in front of me, shielding me from their accusing stares. "My daughter would never do such a thing. Alora is simply trying to divert attention from her own shameful condition."But Harold doesn't look convinced. He stares at me even over Mother's shoulder. I hate that he suspects me"We need to get her help," Harold says finally after a long stare between everyone in the pack house and present at the throne room. , turning back to Alora. "We need to take her to the healersââOkay, stop all this nonsense!â Alpha Leo steps forward. "She is mi
Lucasâs POVI think these people are making a mockery of me. Silver infused window bars!? Hell no! Is this new installation necessary? I have been quiet. I have not even tried to escape, yet they mock me this way. Eighteen huge bars that would roast me like a goat used for burnt offering if I try to escape. This makes watching the pack from inside her to be more difficult . Since I am a lonely soul in here, I just allow time to pass by watching everything play out in this pack- even though my view is alway one anglesI know that it is Leah that ordered this installation. She is doing this because the last time that she came here, I chose to look outside of the window instead of to look at her. She is so petty. I wonder what it must feel like for her. I wonder why she never just respects herself and understands. How can she be willing to marry a man that utterly hates her? How does she even think that we would coexist together? How does she even think that she would be happy in her m
Lucasâs 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 courseâDo not do this, my wolf howls. âPlease, pleaseâĶââWhen has being good ever gotten us anything but more suffering?â I ask him to see if he can reason with meâLucasâĶâ 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 thereâAre you accepting my offer or not!â Agathaâs 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."âTRAITOR!â my wolf roars inside my head, making me wince. He is trashing now"Is something wrong?" Agatha ask
Lucasâs POVâNonsense?â Agatha repeats with a raised eyebrowâIâĶ I meanâĶâ 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.âDo not listen to her,â mgrowls. âThink of Alora. Think of what they are doing to her. You promised her that you will come back for her!âI 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 Aloraâs own father- Alpha Harry- even he did not survive Agathaâs wrath. I think of Harold, his own father did not even care after Agatha stabbed him. Would I be the one t
Lucasâs 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 Aloraâs wedding, but today is the full moon and the festival is being held tonight too.âWe have to be really careful,â 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
Aloraâs 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. âStop 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
Alonsoâs POVShe is lying. The prophecy described the white wolf and she doesnât 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. âWhat are you waiting for!?â I growl, shakihim to his root.âYeâĶ yesâĶâ 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.âBe free, you have my freedom,â I declare. âI know you are scared of your Luna, but no one will touch you because you now have my seal!â 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
Alonsoâs 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. âWhat do you mean?â I ask just to be sureâJust take me away from here, when I find my footing, I would leave and never disturb you,â she criesâI could help you. You can even stay in my kingdom for as long as you want,â 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
Alonsoâs POVâConsummate what!?â 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!â 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 tantrumsâOkay,â 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
Alonsoâs 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."âWho is he making a mate of?â I asâThe daughter of the Alpha, Alora.ââAlora?â 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.
Leoâs 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 Elenaâs expression remains serious,"Elena, IâĶ donâtâĶ." I stutter slighShe shakes her head. "I know you donât 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 thatâ"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
