Alonso’s POVThe gates are thrown wide open. What the hell!? Do they not know that this is careless? Enemies can attack! Where is Leo!? 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 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
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 POVI attempt to keep thinking, but my beast is panting hungrily. He has other ideas. Before I can stop myself, I pull her into an embrace. She stiffens, but relaxes as time goes on"Thank you," I murmur. "You don't know what this means to me."She looks up at me. "I think I'm beginning to understand what the curse is all about"Our eyes dance as they lock. Our minds turn to one. Without doubt, I lean down, and to my surprise, she rises on her tiptoes to make my work easyOur lips clamps together. Shehe doesn't pull away, instead she wraps her arms around my neck and presses closer, something ignites within me.The kiss deepens. I feel the heat rising. My beast wants more. He makes me to kiss her deeply and roughlyI pull back suddenly, concerned about hurting her. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have…""Don't apologize," she interrupts, her voice breathy and she pulls me in again to continue the kiss“Take her to our room,” my beast demands. Not this dungeon. She deserves better.F
Alora POVThe loud banging on my door jolts me awake. I scramble from my uncomfortable bed, shoving down my clothes hastily.“ How dare you sleep at this time? Do yóu expect me to clean the house and cook?" My mother's grumpy voice shouts from the other side." I'm coming!” I answer, slipping on my sandals and rushing to the door. Pulling it open, my cheek reconnects with my mother's palm. Her fuming face scowls at me and I shrink.“ You just want Leah to be late for school, don't you? You can't stop your pathetic behavior of sabotaging your sister's life." She hisses, glaring at me." I didn't… " I try to explain only to be rewarded with another slap.“ Useless mutt! How dare yóu talk back to me?"She snaps. My mother forbids me from saying anything when she is talking. I am only allowed to listen and bear the brunt of my mistakes.“ I want the house spot free clean and breakfast already in bed when Leah wakes up.” She orders before storming off,not without glaring and huffing at me.I
A slap resounds in the room, my head turning to the other side.“ How dare you,wh*re! How dare you seduce your sister's fiance?” My mother hisses,glaring at me.Leah stands next to her,casting a hateful glance at me.My tears roll down but I remain tight-lipped. Replying will only get me more beaten,I have learnt that the hard way." I always knew you were a loose woman but I never imagined that you would seduce your sister's man.”I want to shout and explain myself. Lucas was the one who offered to save my ass after Leah pushed me into the pool, turning me an object of ridicule before everyone." You can't stand seeing me happy,can yóu Alora? Always jealous of what I have when you can't have it." Leah comments and I swallow a lump of bitterness.I admit I am jealous of her but I never thought about snatching her fiance.The only thing I ever craved for was the love and affection my parents showered her but as the years passed, I gave up.In their eyes, I will never be as good as Leah
I halt in my steps, turning around to face Lucas who is now standing too close to me.“What do you want, Lucas?" I ask impatiently.A flicker of sadness flashes through his dark orbs but I ignore it." I just want us to talk,Alora.”" Talk? Talk about what exactly Lucas? There's nothing left to talk about between the two of us.” I snap, annoyed.The audacity! He has the nerves to want to talk to me when I had tried talking to him after my father's announcement only for him to remain distant with me." I'm sorry,Alora. I didn't mean to ignore you.” He says and my anger spikes." You had every fucking intention of ignoring me Lucas. I would really appreciate it if you keep doing that.”There's a time I wanted to hear him explain why he didn't turn down my father's offer of marrying Leah and becoming the Alpha. Now, I don't anymore.“ Alora, I didn't have a choice. I couldn't say no to the Alpha." Lucas mumbles and I shoot him a glare.“ You could have told him the truth. The truth that y
The door to my room is pushed open and Leah saunters in. Her gaze sweeps through the crumpled space and her nose lifts in disgust.I scan her appearance through the cracked vanity mirror.When she turns to look at me, she has a smile on her face, one that I wouldn't mistake as friendly.“ I came to see if you needed anything. After all, today is your special day." Leah says,her smile not dropping. I can hear the mockery and disdain well concealed in her words though but I ignore it.I am already used to it after all these years.“ Thanks for your concern but I don't need anything." I reply, straightening my unruly hair.Leah chuckles from behind me.“ Don't get me wrong, Alora. I am not concerned about you. I just want to make sure that you don't embarrass our family out there.”Her words don't faze me anymore. I know for a fact no one cares about me. Their reputation and family name is more important than I could ever be.“ Don't worry. I will behave myself and not stain the family na

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
Lucas’s POVToday is the day everyone has been waiting for. Alora is one girl in this pack that nobody wants to be like. 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
