Thora's pov
I was trembling,like literally. The dirty utensils shaking in my hands as I cleaned them under the freezing water.
Surprisingly Landon didn't scold me or punish me after that small accident.
But I guess that's because he was very busy in today's meeting.My mate's grey eyes make a shiver run down my spine. And I move my head, trying to forget about him.
But who was I kidding. My mate was no ordinary man
He was the werewolf King.
King Volkan Knight
Gulping ,I clean the sweat on my forehead with my sleeve and place the last utensil in the utensil tray.
Done with my today's work.Sighing I look up at the full moon , wondering what will my future hold.
He already hates me,I saw it in his eyes.
He thinks I have betrayed him,if only he knew the truth.My mate is going to reject me.
This was the harsh reality,every she wolves fear this and mine was just going to become true.
There is no escape from this place now, I guess I have to die here as well.
Being a slave to that bastard all my life, pleasing him till I forget myself.My thoughts were interrupted when I felt a strong gust of wind hit me, his tempting scent lingering with it.
Knowing what it meant,I stood up. Trying to pull down this useless skirt which was really uncomfortable.
I look around to sense him ,when my eyes stop at a silhouette near a tree.
His back leaning against it and hands crossed in front of his chest.I gulp , moving closer. I already know why he was here.
No man will accept a used mate, he was not going to be an exception.
"Alpha...King...you needed something...you should have sent someone for it..."
I say , bowing down in respect. He was a powerful man,the most powerful man in our Kingdom instead.
And Omegas like me are killed for even making eye contact with him.He didn't say anything,but his stare remained.
Making a strange feeling to erupt in my insides."Let me know if I can help you...do you need-"
"Shut up"
He says , making my trap to shut and mind to freeze.
Goosebumps appear on my skin and I bite my lips, scolding myself for blabbering in front of him.He stares again.
And the silence stretches. Making my anxiety to increase with every second.
Few minutes later he straightens his back and stands up , making his way towards me.My eyes remain rooted to the ground as he steps closer.
The storm of anxiety in my chest , thrashing."Have you fucked him?"
He asks and my heart stops. My widened eyes look up at his cold grey eyes and I forgot to breathe for few seconds.
So direct?
How do I answer this? Yes ...I have but not willingly...he blackmailed me..
"I....we.....few...times...but...I.. didn't-"
I stutter to only make his jaw to harden. He closeness,plays with my brain,my body aching for him to touch me.
Shit! What was happening to me ? And then I remembered,it was a full moon today...the matebond is the strongest."Yes or No"
He commands and I lower my stare. Why? I wanted to explain...I thought he will trust me...if not atleast give me a chance.
"Yes"
I say and I see his fist clench. I step back afraid I will be a target of it.
He again doesn't say anything for a minute , making my legs to loose their strength and my wolf to cry in my mind.She was already very weak, she can die if he rejects me.
What can I do to save her?"I waited 26 years for you. Not even touching a women fearing I will be betraying you. Yet you couldn't save yourself for me?"
He says and I am surprised. It's very rare, men's instincts are way stronger than women and I have never heard of any man controlling his urges and saving his first for his mate.
Yet,he did it. But for whom?
For me. For someone who has lost her everything in this life except for her indomitable will to survive.
"I am sorry ..I...."
He raises his hand again ,not letting me explain.
But even if I speak,I won't be able to tell him the full truth."Do you love him?"
He asks and my mouth opens in surprise. Is he serious?
Which mate asks another if they love someone else.I can see he is stopping himself or I would have been already rejected by him before this conversation."No..I.."
"Yet you kiss him back. Yet you don't stop him from kissing you?"
I gulp moving my head in a no as he steps closer to me.
Fear entering my mind as the aura around him hits me."Alpha..King... please.."
"Yet you sit in his lap ,wearing these sluty clothes and let him kiss these lips?"
My back hits a tree bark and his eyes change colours. Placing my hands in front of me,I shiver.
"Please...I..."
"Tell me. Is he the only one or do you love doing this with others when you are in heat? How many bastards have touched what only belonged to me?"
"Calm...down Alpha... please...I...."
"Tell me!"
He slams the tree bark on my either side and I flinch in fear.
His arms prisoning me as he moves his face closer.His breath hits my lips as his eyes are pools of hatred.
Shifting between grey and black, trying to get back his lost control.I breathe heavily,unable to hold it in any longer.
Tears run down my eyes as I close them. Done with all this. I should have known this ,he is an Alpha. It would be a blessing if he doesn't kill me after this betrayal.
"J...just reject...me"
I manage to whisper in my shaking voice,my lips wobbling and the saltness of my tears edible to my lips.
He freezes at my words but I refused to open my eyes.
I don't want to see the hated in them ,I have seen enough in my life. Not his as well.
Let him just reject me and get this over with .My breathing hitched as I felt a soft touch on my lip. To only realise that I was biting it hard to draw blood from it .
I open my eyes to see his grey orbs fixed on my lip,his thumb touching my lip to bring it out of the assault.
"I will"
He says and my wolf whines in my mind. Not ready to die so young. I am sorry...I wish you would have found someone else.
"But-"
He continues, making my teary eyes to look back at him.
"After I have showed you how much your betrayal has hurted me. After I have returned hundred times of what you gave me."
His hands move lower to rest on my waist and the tingles ,make a warmness to spread inside me.
"After I have made you to beg me to touch you and after I have replaced you."
My eyes widen and the warmness inside me freezes. The butterflies in my stomach die down as I look in those beautiful orbs in helplessness.
No he can't...I have already suffered so much..please no.
And that's when his lips crash on me and my body is pushed back on the tree bark.
To experience what they call.A Kiss of true love.
If only it was of love and not coated by hate.
If only I was truthful and I hadn't betrayed.Landon stares at the Alpha King sitting in front of him.Confusion evident in his eyes as he dares to question him again."My apologies Alpha King but did I hear you right? You want to take that Omega along with you."Volkan just stares at him harder. His words an evidence to his irritation."Yes. The girl is to come with me. And in exchange ,you will be given the tender to the Redwood territory"Landon couldn't believe this. Thora was a used and broken pathetic Omega of his pack. What could a powerful man like him had to do with her?"The offer sounds quite attractive Alpha King. But may I know why?"Volkan clenches his fist, not happy with him questioning him.But he can't tell anyone she is his mate,he was ashamed to be honest."She has a really foul mouth. You know I don't take disrespect lightly,yet she dares to disrespect me. I will deal with her my way in my territory."Landon was not finding this hard to
The car door is opened for him and he proceeds inside while I struggle to open my side of door with tied hands.Failing ,I scoot and come out from his side instead. Breathing heavily to find him near the entrance already.Shit! Why is he so fast?Before I call him to stop,the doors open and my mouth opens in shock.The castle was humongous, a line of fountains welcoming with small bushes perfectly trimmed.A broad pathway, laid towards inside.And when I looked up ,I almost stumbled on my feet.Damn! I have never seen something so beautiful.This place was like a palace I only saw in books and he was like the Prince. But sadly I was no princess,I can never be.Coming back to reality,I saw men surrounding him like bees. Following him ,as he barely says anything.I increase my pace,trying to catch up with him.But he was already near the castle.Maids line on either side,bowing to him and I blush w
She stares at the kids playing.Her dirty sneakers covered in mud , a loose sweat shirt and worn out jeans covering her, as she tries stopping the tears falling down her eyes.Nose red and eyes puffy , but no one cared.The screams of children around, making her feel like she was surrounded.When in reality she knew she was alone.Always.Using her loose sweatshirt to clear her tears, she folds her arms on her knees and lowers her head on it.She doesn't remember how long she stayed like that when she feels a tap on her shoulder and she looks up."Are...you lonely?"A small girl with big blue eyes looks at her in worry, making a small smile to leave her lips."No dear. You all are with me.... aren't you?"I ask and she moves her head in a no, sitting beside her."No. They all are bad! They are not my friends."The girl says and Thora couldn't help stare at her. The little girl was beautifu
The first wave of heat hits me and I curse. Rushing outside in the open.The cold winds hit the beads of sweat covering my forehead, giving me a temporary relief. While I clench my stomach which was churning in pain.I have waited too long....Volkan will not be coming.Shifting to my small brown wolf which was the mere size of a fox, I rush out into the lush green garden not caring about anything anymore.Determined to reach the forest.My claws heavy and body staggering with pain, but I don't stop.It was do or die today.Merely 5 minutes into the forest and the howls of wolves start echoing around me. Making adrenaline to rush in my veins.Determination to save my virtue , was unfathomable today and I was going to prove it to him.Another wave hits ,stronger this time and I scream.My scent emerging around me like waves of pleasure , hitting the unmated wolves.They growly again and this time I
DeathIt's not that easy as it seems. Atleast not how I thought it to be.My numb body was thrashing against the current of the water, my lungs protesting and whines leaving my wolf.But I couldn't escape it, the thrust of the water much stronger than my weak limbs.Water gushed into my snout and my wolf form hits random rocks, making a cracking sound to be audible to my ears.It seems I will be broken beyond repair.If that was not enough of a nightmare.Imagine the very reason I jumped into the water was still there.The rogues,they were crazy and blind enough to jump into the water behind me.And were now barring their teeth at me.One of them was just near my hind leg and next I know,he grabbed it in its deadly jaw, making a sharp helpless yelp to leave my lips.Please....not like this moongoddess...not like this.The other rogue joined him, holding my other hind leg ,when our bodies hit anothe
He stared at her .His eyes taking in her wounded thigh and the long claw marks on her stomach, and he couldn't help feel the anger run in his veins.How much he hated those filthy rogues....how dare they touch his mate with their filthy hands.Yes he didn't like the girl...but those vulgar thoughts of those rogues about his mate....The ones he could hear clearly in his head.They made him tear apart their limbs to throw them into the running water."The girls healing is slow your Majesty. The wound got infected and her wolf is too weak to fight the fever.I have given the IV ...but she will take more time to heal."The pack doctor said and Volkan merely sighs. Expecting this."Hopefully once the heat is over. The fever will come down on its own."With this the doctor leaves, closing the door behind him.While Volkan runs his hand through his hair.Sta
"But-"What is he even doing? I was in heat yesterday....what if his wolf wanted to do it forcing me? No...I can't let that happen! No way!I try to turn around to only have him place his hand on my neck from behind making me still.My back hits his front and I feel the tingles explode."Don't argue with me girl. I have had enough of your disrespect.""Now do as I say."Gulping I merely nod, feeling his breath near my ear.I widen my legs a bit, and his grip on my neck loosens.Trailing down his fingers, he moves them down my back and I feel his touch leaving a trail of tingles and warmth."Wider"His heavy commanding voice sounding distant than before and that's when I feel his fingers near my thigh. Making me jerk away from him suddenly."Ahhhhh"I wince in pain as my sudden movement made the wound to hurt more. His grip on my thigh ti
Thora povHe returns back late at night, I was sleepy but no fully asleep.Sensing his presence,I try to act to be asleep. To only hear his voice."Stop the pretence "I gulp, cursing. Why are his senses so active?Lifting myself up, I meet his eyes to only see him seated on a sofa with one leg placed on the other.His pose filled with dominance and authority , making me feel so small."Hello"Was all I could say shyly, as his heated gaze remains fixed at me.Folding ,his hands. He merely hmms."What were you thinking going into the rogue lands during your heat!"I knew this question was coming and I couldn't help clench the comforter tightly in my fingers."I am.....sorry""Did I asked for your sorry? I asked you a question stupid girl.""Answer the question."I flinch and gulp the saliva caught in my throat.Stuttering out th
I surrender. Opening my lips, I let the water gush into my lungs. Ending it forever. When, suddenly, I felt something soft crash on my lips and my eyes widen in shock. Zander was kissing me, his breath intermingling with mine. Holding my body closer to him with his palms gripping behind my neck. He continues to kiss me and give me his own limited breaths. I opened my eyes to look at him in shock. To only find his eyes closed, brows furrowed. Busy lending his limited breaths to me. Making my lungs breathe. And just like that, I felt my heart thud rapidly in my chest. Those foreign emotions enter my body again. Why Zander? Why are you doing this? What is this that my body is feeling? Why do I want to trust you, when I know you are going to hurt me in the end? Why did you save me just now? Why did you take my first kiss? Why, despite being in this hell underwater, does it feel like heaven? Why is each and every cell in my body alive right now, celebrating our first ki
Sera's POV I thrash, moving my arms and legs in all directions as I feel my body hit the surface of the water. Huge amounts of water gushed into my mouth. And my breathing becomes constricted. Opening my eyes, I looked under the water to find myself on the deeper side of the pool. My body starts sliding lower with my inability to swim. I thrash, moving my legs in all directions, looking around for any help when I see someone's arm extended for my help and I clutch onto it like my life was dependent on it. Holding it, I pull myself up. Finally able to put some air into my lungs. My eyes were teary and my breathing was uneven. My wet hair fell on my face, my mind too numb to understand what the hell happened here. Did he really pulled me in? " Relax. You are fine, butterfly" I look up to find myself clutching onto him. Our bodies almost touching. Extending his fingers, he move my wet sticking hair aside from my face to look at my breathless state intensely. " Why...why wo
Indeed, it was the perfect name. Butterflies are what I feel in my stomach right now. How can he behave like that? One second he refuses to even acknowledge me, the other he acts like that. Staring at the sketchbook in my bag, I contemplated. By homework, of course, he meant my latest sketch of his. Right? But can I really show it to him? *** The lunchtime was already over, as I made my way through the back door to the swimming area. This area is normally restricted unless one has special permission, but seeing the door unguarded. I sneaked in. My heart thumps as I look around at the vast pool with no soul in presence. Did he leave already? I was just 5 minutes late. He would have waited, right? It was too congested in the hallways. I had to pass through everyone. Staring at the serene water, I step back from the edge of the pool. It may sound strange, but even th
Seph's POV It was late at night, and my roommates were asleep. Twisting and turning in the bed for the last hour, I couldn't find any sleep. Too restless with his thoughts. Agitated. I got up to sit on the bed. Sighing to look at the moon through the window. It was a waxing moon and very soon, when the first full moon came. I can't even imagine what my heat will be like. I almost felt scared of it. My hand involuntarily travels up to my neck and I caress the mark he left on me. Mere touching of this mark makes my knees weak and my mind blank. What will mating feel like? Is it really that nice? Some say it hurts the first time. Will he really do it with me? Or will he refuse me? He hasn't said anything about accepting me, but neither has he rejected me. So does this mean it's a yes? He is definitely interested in me. Or he wouldn't kiss my neck and leave his mark on me. Right? He didn't even hurt me in the arena in front of everyone, when he came to know I was his mat
" What...what did you..." " It's just a hickey. A reminder for you as to who you belong to this second hence." " I don't want any soul to know about this. Understood?" I was expecting this. Hell I am sure he is ashamed to admit me as his. But then why didn't he reject me? Why is he kissing me like that, behaving the complete opposite? It hurts, but then I never had any expectations. He was touching me, which itself was a surprise for me. Before I could even ask him, he retreated. " See you soon Seraphina. And by the way, " Tapping on the drawing on my desk. He smirks to stare into my eyes. Leaning closer, whispering in my ear. " I want you to draw my lips next... imagining how they would feel pressed against these...." Running his thumb on my trembling lips. He completes. " Trembling ones of yours. " " Okay?" I nod, and his eyes grew dark. " Good girl" Picking up my hand from my lap, he kissed my finger to retreat. As if giving me a hint for my next dr
20 minutes later. She felt her heart thud as she stared at her own creation. Running her fingers through the graphite drawing. Not having the courage to turn around and stare at them, live. She looked up at the clock to see 30 minutes were still left. Folding her arms and leaning on the drawing on the table, she just closed her eyes, to hear the chatter in the background. Before she knew it, she was deep asleep. Oblivious of the world. --- Everyone left the room as the bell rang, except him. Closing the door to the classroom shut, he took slow, calculated, firm steps towards the girl asleep on her desk. Settling himself on the chair in front of her desk, he turns around to just stare at the girl. His eyes narrowed at her. He sees her small lips moving, her chest heaving. Taking in every inch of her face with his eyes. Long beautiful eyelashes, a not so wide but not too thin nose, perfect for her round face. Long brown hair. She was not extraordinarily beautiful like t
His eyes were like a storm which was sucking me in. Making it impossible for me to pull away from him. I gulp. Blinking. To only feel his grip tighten around my waist. And I suck in a breath as I find my chest flush against his. His beautiful brows were narrowed, his Greek nose perfect as Adonis, a subtle beard covering his hardened jaw. Till now.....I always thought my brother was the most beautiful man of all the men I ever saw. But it seems I was wrong. This man broke all the records. He was stunning but at the same time dangerous. He keeps staring at me intently, not showing any happiness or sadness. Blank of any expressions. And I feel intimidated under his gaze. Blinking, coming back to reality. I avoid his eyes, lowering my gaze, when I hear a low growl literally hammer his chest. Shocked, I looked up to find anger in those brown orbs. Raw. " I...umm...I..." I sprew bullshit. My lips open and close. And then suddenly, as if he was jolted up from a dream. He p
Those cold eyes can penetrate your soul, and rip you whole. Those strong hands can crush your bones, without an ounce of remorse. He doesn't harbour weaknesses, he doesn't make friends. Alone yet the strongest, he is the untouchable He is Zander, The Lycan King" Seph's pov I hear my heart thumping in my chest as I push aside people. Eager to reach him. Hades' screams echo in the school house but no one dared to interfere. I reach the front and people move back from me automatically, making efforts to not touch me. Staring at the scene my heart bleeds as I see my brother down on his knees, shifted back to his human form. Blood drops from his nose, his body thrashing to escape the pain but there was no escape. His screams don't seize. The man continues to blankly stare and hurt him.And I had this strange adrenaline rush in me to save him. Without caring about the repercussions. I enter the arena to hear gasps around me. Standing in front of my brother's bloody body I bl
" Living was no longer a word in her dictionary. When every breath, every second was counted and borrowed. Surviving was the only way to her life, making her wonder if maybe death could free her of her sorrows. " She doesn't remember how long she lay there unconscious. Closed from the outside world. Only when someone started banging on the door did she wake up. " Open the damned door, dammit! Who is inside?" Running her hand through her hair. Getting up and picking up her stuff, she gulps to approach the door. Her mind was still a little dizzy because of the effect of the medicine. Lowering her hoodie on her face and rubbing her palms on her thighs, she opens up the door to only have female students curse at her, circling around her. " Is this bathroom your bedroom?" " How can you lock it?" " Even others have to use it! It's not your dad's property, dammit!" " S...sorry..." she said, making her way past them. She thought at least now she would have peace. But her ho
