"This was once called the Alpha's chamber, but Thane never did like the place," Axel informed me, but I couldn't make up a response, not when the nerves were eating me up. I was meeting his 'parents', the Alpha King and Queen. I walked in, but Axel didn't follow. The first person I noticed was Thane; he leaned against the wall looking very imposing. They seemed to have been in the middle of a conversation, which quickly ended the moment I arrived. Thane's eyes assessed me, and I could see the disapproval in his eyes—those eyes that seemed to darken the moment he realized I wasn't in the blue dress he picked out. I hadn't imagined it; his eyes did change colour according to his mood. I gave a low bow, my eyes down. I had seen Ryker's mother do this before. "Rise," the deep, cold voice called out, and I finally dared to stare into the eyes of Alpha Slade Blackwood of the New Blood Pack. Now I knew where Thane got those eyes from, though his father's were a different shade. Alpha Sla

I felt Freya’s grip on my arm the moment we were out of sight.“Come with me,” she says, her voice was raspy and barely audible, almost like she spent so much of her days in silence; she had forgotten how to speak right. I let her lead me into an empty room, and she locked the door.My heart pounded. Should I be afraid of her? There was something about her that was indeed different.“Why are we here?” I questioned“I want to talk to you,” she said, her voice a little bolder now. “There are a few things you need to know about being the Alpha’s mate." She said, and I nodded, ready to do anything to be in her good books. Her mate didn’t seem to like me, maybe things could change if I gave her the right impression.She lifted her veil and let it fall over her hair. I held in a gasp. Her face was scarred; that was why she was in a veil, why she had left no skin exposed; she was hiding the scars. I should have suspected this when I saw her standing behind Alpha Slade, her head down, but of c

I followed after him, a sense of dread settling in the pit of my stomach. He led me back into our room and shut the door. I inhaled. “Things went rough with your mother, right?” He asked, this question I did not expect. “She doesn’t like you very much.” “That’s understandable,” he says. “You know, you did well today—with my father, I mean.” “I did?” “Yes. Though I didn’t miss the fact that you had again disobeyed me, You took off the clothes—was it because of your mother?” “Yes... No. I couldn’t walk around looking like a whore.” He walked closer, and it took everything in me to stand still. His fingers traced the fabric of the brown gown I had chosen—without asking for permission, of course. “You liked being well covered?” He asked “Yes” “Just like my mother, Freya?” I think my heart skipped a bit right there. I remembered the scars all over her body, they had been the reason she left no skin uncovered. "How could you allow that to happen to her?"

"There had been a reason I wanted you in that dress, Riley; let's say I wanted my father 'infuriated'." "That wouldn't be a good thing since I was hoping to leave a good impression" "You don't understand; my father has this strange way of thinking, one I don't share with him; he believes fear is another means of power." "And you don't think so?" I asked, knowing full well that Alpha Thane was feared amongst all regions. Though he had other enviable and equally intimidating achievements capable of giving him same influence, many still ‘feared’ him. "Is different when you enforce such methods on family too. That's what he made my mother understand, he wanted her to fear him, tremble in his presence and now she had lost her own voice, he keeps her wrapped up like some mummy, I don't like that, so letting you wear something so provocative was challenging him in some way" "I thought... I.. I'm sorry" "Yet, Riley, I am glad you fought me for what you wanted." "I thought that wa

"What books did you pick?" Axel asked as we headed back to my room."Just some history books," I lied."You are into those?""There wasn't much to select from," I lied again."True," he agreed. I was glad we moved on from that topic quickly. "A maid would be here soon with some healthy food. When had been the last time you ate?""A few days ago.""Days?""I am used to it." I paused, deciding if I should tell him. "I was born an omega; I am used to staying days without food.""Omegas are to be fed too, just like every other.""Not in the Windborne Pack""It would be different here," Axel promised..A few minutes later, there was a soft knock on the door. It was 'the' maid, and she came in with a tray in her hands.She gave a deep bow, placing the tray on the table before quickly exiting the room."Whatever is in there smells really nice.""It's meat balls and mashed potatoes," he said."That seems a bit much, don't you think?""You've not eaten in days; you need as much as you can tak

The day went by in a flash, and soon it was already evening. "You should get dressed now; do you need help with that?" Axel asked. "No. I know my way around those," I said, picking out a green gown from my wardrobe. Surprisingly, all the clothes here were my size, and that was very... creepy. "The red one" "What?" "The red one would be better," Axel said, and I picked out the red gown. It was a beautiful piece, and I wondered how much it cost. I imagine it cost a lot. "You are right."I didn't do much with my hair; I was too nervous to even try, but I left it down, brushing through it a couple of times. "Thane is here," Axel announced, even before I heard the footsteps. Just then, Thane walked in, and my eyes traveled to him. "Why didn't you tell me?" I sneered at him. "Tell you what?" he asked, his gaze trailing right back to Axel, who shrugged innocently. "You told me I was to attend some party; you never told me it was some joining ritual." "You would have found out in th

Thane rose, and by his signal, I rose too. He took my hands. I knew it was all an act; I should be trying harder; we had the whole pack to convince now, but I couldn't help but think about 'the marking'. The fact that everyone here would watch us. How was this normal? Thane drew me closer to him. "Don't fight me," he whispers, low enough that only I could hear him, and then his lips met mine. The kiss was gentle at first and then demanding; he consumed me, and all I had to do was play along, even if my eyes teared at the knowledge that he would be doing this here, right now. Maybe I could just close my eyes and pretend it was just the both of us. That wouldn't be hard, right? His lips finally left mine, and I was sure my lips were swollen and my cheeks flushed. "My mate would be marked and claimed tonight," he announced, and the whole crowd erupted. I watched the faces of the people waiting to see me naked. "But it would be done in private," he says, and the applause died down. I

Axel was there almost immediately. "Thane" he called out, but the Alpha was far gone and I was a complete wreck, one thing was sure, I wouldn't have stopped him."Listen to me Thane, you don't want her hurt, remember?"Slowly Thane's eyes returned back to their normal colour, he stared at the mark he gave me, it still stung, but my mind was too clouded."I'm sorry" he says and with that he walks away, leaving the room. It took only a few minutes to gather myself and realise that Axel had seen ‘everything’. I couldn’t look him in the eyes, even as he brought a robe for me helping me into it.“Thank you” I said to him, avoiding eye contact.“You didn’t seem to want him to stop though” Axel said and it was of course very much true, I hadn’t wanted him to stop, damn I would have let him fuck me right in front of Axel. I had no response to that.“Thane’s father seemed rather unpleased at the fact that he was breaking the tradition” I said, trying my best to act like ‘this’ was nothing,

Kaida’s POVI paused at the door when I noticed the brunette whore—the same one I had helped get to the healers—sitting on one of the couches with her legs crossed and a bright smile on her face. She was dressed in a very revealing black gown.I might have thought that saving her life would bring about a change, but I was wrong.“Did Alexander ask you to come here?” I questioned.“No.”“So why are you here?”“I wanted to see you… alone. He cannot know about my visit.”I chuckled. “You don’t want the Alpha King to know you’ve been here, and yet you come to the very room he spent his nights in.”“I’m not stupid, I know I shouldn't be here; but this is the only place I could meet you without having prying eyes on us.”“So, why do you need to see me?”She rose to her feet. “I want to thank you for what you did for me. I would have died if not for you.” She said,I was tempted to ask how she had gotten poisoned with wolfbane, but perhaps it was better I didn’t know. I didn’t like to pry in

The one in the middle approached us, and I backed away.Vera didn’t; she held the knife in her hands, ready to fight. He took out his handgun, and before she could make a move, he shot.She fell to the ground, a bullet embedded in her forehead.“So tell me, Chosen. Have you ever been… fucked?”“I did you all no wrong.”“You didn’t, but the Empress did. It’s our brother she sent out there to be killed.”“My condolences. But these men swore oaths; they swore to serve and protect; they weren’t forced.”All three burst into laughter. “My condolences.” One of the men mimicked. “Your condolences don’t bring back the dead, do they?”“Why don't we leave the Empress a message, one she would never forget? Let’s find out how pure the Chosen One is, shall we?”“When we are done with you, you will wish you had never been born, but don’t worry, we won’t kill you. You are too pretty to die.” said the third man.One of the men pushed me to the ground; before I could rise, his weight upon me held me d

ALIYA’S POVI didn’t think Empress Julia liked the way things had gone with the Alpha King. No pack had disregarded us like the Nightshade pack did. I had reasons to believe the other packs were afraid of us, but I couldn’t say the same for the Nightshade pack.My maid, Vera, brushed through my hair.King Alexander was an intriguing man, but I had my focus on the woman seated by his side. There was something about her—something fierce, something I hadn’t seen in other Lunas—and she kept on staring at me; it was like she knew exactly what I was thinking.The Chosen One. That’s what they called me; they say I was a gift from the god of light’s,and that I would lead the people of Aureonna into victory.One would think of me as a powerful person, but I was nothing more than a mortal woman. Empress Julia believes everything would change on my nineteenth birthday, when the god of light herself would pay me a visit. Julia refers to it as ‘The Encounter.’.For the past thirteen years of my li

One of the council members, who I believed was named Austin, was the first to speak up.The Alpha is as alone as he can be,” he said, eyeing their soldiers.“Leave us.” Alexander said, and for a moment no one made a move. “Now!”“Are—are you sure?” another of the advisors asked.“They are my guests; it will be rude of me not to hear them out.” Alexander said, and the woman smiled. The smile might have seemed a little flirty, but she was old enough to be my mother, so maybe that was just me looking too deep into things.Our soldiers left first, followed by the council of advisors, who seemed to be everywhere Alexander was.The woman's eyes turned to me.“She is my Luna; she stays.” Alexander says, and the woman only nods.One of the men in blue passed the woman a wooden box, she took out a key and unlocked it.“May I?” she asked, and Alexander nodded.She walked forward, up the stairs, until she was only a few feet away from where we sat. She placed the wooden box before his feet.Insi

I had never heard of them before, and for some reason, I felt… ‘humbled’ by that knowledge. If they were such a large community, why had they never been mentioned in all the conversations I had with Aric and my father? I was going to have to speak to Aric about this. “What do they want from us?” I asked.“I am yet to find out; perhaps they just want an alliance or a pact.”“Don’t you think it’s dangerous making pacts with them? What if they have other plans?“Like what? Ending the werewolf’s cycle?” Alexander asked, a smirk playing on his face.“They aren’t werewolves; they are different, and no doubt they would only grow stronger; it’s all a matter of time.”“You don’t have to worry about that. They will never be able to beat the werewolves—not in numbers. So would you please put on a dress?” he asked.I would have liked to argue some more, but I was very curious to meet these people. I picked out a purple, long-sleeved dress that stopped a little above my knee; it was just perfect.

“Where have you been?” Alexander asked the moment I entered the room.“Not your business.”“You must keep me informed about your whereabouts.”I turned to him. “I must not. I don’t try keeping up with your whereabouts now, do I?”“You are mad at me. I shouldn’t have said what I did earlier.”“Oh, an apology from the high and mighty Alpha king; that should solve everything.” I said, rolling my eyes.“Usually, it does solve everything most of the time.” He said with a smirk. “And I do like the term ‘high and mighty.’.” He added.“Unfortunately, pretty boy, your words don’t mean shit—not to me.”“I expected my Luna to be less profane”I flipped him the middle finger.“I spent the day with my Beta. I plan to be out there more often; I get sick of this place and also—you.”“Come on, let’s not lie to ourselves. I don’t infuriate you—I scare you, and that’s what’s got you all riled up.”“You would have liked it, wouldn’t you? If I was afraid of you?”“I mean, I’m liking it now. But that’s

I hadn’t spoken a word to Alexander in days, and I wasn’t planning to. I shouldn’t have let him touch me; I should have endured the pain longer, but once again, he won..“So you could come visit me, but I can’t do the same?” Aric asked the moment he saw me by his door.I pushed past him and walked into the room.“Not bad.” I say, looking around. It was smaller than the one I shared with the Alpha King, but elegant and nicely furnished.“Why are you here, Kaida?”“Do I need a reason to visit my beta and friend?”“I’m not the Beta anymore; I am a Commander and Chief.”“You will always be the Dawn’s pack Beta.” “Well the Dawn’s pack is no more; you are a Luna now…”“Okay, what the hell is wrong with you? If you don’t want me here, all you have to do is tell me.”“I’m a man who had just been rejected by the woman he had been in love with for years; how do you expect me to react?”“Aric… It can’t work.”“I know that—at least now I do. I’m not a fool; I know when to draw back, and you wer

Slowly and gently, he slipped a finger into me, going in and out. A moan escaped my lips. He added in a second finger and this time he went a bit faster, I moaned out, the pleasure was unlike anything I had ever felt and then… he pulled out.I wanted more and this time I let him take me to the bed. I took off my clothes, stripping naked, but he didn’t take his off.He kissed my collarbone, and then he took my nipple in his mouth; my back ached as I gripped his neck. With his other hand, he caressed my hardened nipple. He proceeded to kiss down my stomach, my belly button, and… lower.I stilled. “No.” I tried rising, but he forced me down. At this point, I wanted him so bad and yet… I didn’t like being so exposed to him.Then I felt his tongue.I couldn’t hold back the sensual sound that escaped my lips. He nibbled at my clit, and I spread my legs even wider. His tongue slipped into me, I gripped onto the slick sheets; he went in and out with his tongue, and slowly I began matching pac

A day passed, and I hadn’t cracked—that’s what I made him believe. The few hours of sleep I managed to get were the only escape from the pain, and even then, I dreamt about him.Now I couldn’t help but wonder how people were so in love with the idea of finding their mates if this was what they had to bear. But I guess many of them won’t see this as torture; they would give in easily.I had an idea, quite a crazy one.I had never touched myself before, but perhaps… I could try.I slowly lowered my fingers, watching as my hands slipped beneath the waistband of my panties. I rubbed my finger around my clit.I groaned, frustrated; it wasn’t working either.The knock on the door drew my attention. Aric. I just knew it had to be him.I didn’t make a move to go to the door but he didn’t go away either, he knocked once more.I managed to rise to my feet, stagger to the door and pull it open.“Kaida, are you alright?” he asked, alarmed.“I do remember telling you to send a maid, if there is an
