"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 believe, Thora can be fiesty and rude at times. Her foul language ,very well versed to him.
"My apologies Alpha King. This girls audacity. I can punish her if you say-"
"No need. I will take care of it myself."
Landon nods, giving him an apologetic smile.
"I agree Alpha King. This is a really great deal you offer. You can take her in exchange. An Omega like her is of not much use to me anyways."
Volkan nods getting up and leaving. While Landon smiles to himself.
He will surely miss her , but she could be easily replaced.And anyways,he was already bored of the pathetic girl.That has been nothing but a burden since the day she was brought to his pack to take care.
An unnecessary baggage he was relieved to get rid off..................................................
Thora pov
I sit in a luxurious car which could fit a dozen of people ,yet we both sit alone.
He sits in front of me ,busy with some work on his laptop. Not even once looking at me.
Not that I wanted him to stare at me.
But the way I was sitting directly in front of him, clothed yet exposed to his scrutiny.Made awkwardness and uneasiness to stretch between us.Bored I look down at my hands tied with a rope. The very proof of him not trusting me or respecting me in any manner.
I wriggle,trying to loosen it but it only results in red marks on my wrist."I won't be leaving...please can you open this."
I ask and his fingers stop typing. Those stormy grey eyes look up at me and I felt a shiver run down my spine.
Why was this man so scary.Not replying ,he continues typing again and I sigh.
My eyes shifting to the view outside and I push myself closer to the window.
Wow! It was so beautiful.I have never been out of my pack territory,I was not allowed to.
And the roads,the trees, the houses.They all looked so intriguing to me.If only I could feel the wind on my face, and take out my hand to feel it.
Biting my lip,I stare at the button.Can I? Will he scold me...but he looks busy.
Pressing the button,I let the window roll down and before he could scold me.
I place my elbows on the sill and lift myself up.The cold wind hits my face, making a smile to come on my lips.And my hair trail behind me , flying with the wind.
Wow! This was heaven.
But the heaven was short lived as I was pulled back to hell.
I looked at my side to see ,my long hair were touching his face and he looked beyond irritated.He moved his hand forward, grabbing my waist as I scream at him
"No!... Please!.Let me!"
My force and pleas were no use as I was harshly pulled back from my waist to land on his lap.
I again struggled to ,only have him coil his arm around my waist and turn up the window with his other hand."No! Please!"
"Fuck! Stop women! Stop it!"
He curses behind me. His breath hitting my ears, making a warmness to spread inside me.
"It's beautiful... please.."
I again try to only have his grip to tighten on my waist.
My back against his chest as I breathe heavily."Are you a dog? Sit here silently."
He says and I feel frustrated. Why such words? I just wanted to look outside.
He hates you Thora. What do you expect? He will hate everything you do aswell.
We continue to sit like this and the tingles start exploding. His scent overpowering, making me hold my breath.
When suddenly I was pushed to the seat next to him harshly.Like my touch just burned him.Because of my hands being tied,my head hits the headrest of the seat and a slight pain hits my skull.
He doesn't move,not bothered.
While I wringle, trying to adjust on my seat . He again goes back to typing and I just stare outside in longing.
I was going away from the prison Landon kept me in,I just hope he would be better than him.
He hates me but I can see ...maybe he still feels something for me. The tingles,the warmness that I am feeling,he must be feeling it too.
I have a chance.
A chance to show I can be loyal to him. That I can love him like mate's are supposed to.
And I won't let it go waste. I will try to win him back no matter what it takes.
"What's your name?"
He asks suddenly , breaking me from the chain of my thoughts.
I thought he must have asked someone till now,but it seems he didn't cared to even know his mates name."Thora"
I answer,still looking outside. When he suddenly slams his laptop shut and the Aura around him changed drastically.
He was angry.
"Look at me when I ask you something."
I gulp, adjusting myself on the seat and turning my neck to look at him.
His grey eyes were boring holes into me."Full name. Pack of birth and parents name?"
He asks and I lower my eyes. He will hate me more, I know it already,after all I was a nobody.
"I...I... don't know"
I say , staring at my hands as he turns to give me his full attention.
"What do you mean you don't know? Did you fall from the sky or what?"
He asks irritated.
"I was found near the river by Landon's mother. I...I.am an orphan."
Silence. He just stares and then sighs, running his hand through his thick locks that have managed to fall on his forehead.
"See Thora. Let me get few things straight before we enter my borders."
I shyly nod, knowing things were going to go bad from here.
"First. No one, I repeat no one is to know that you are my destined mate."
He was ashamed of telling them ,I know. Shit! Why I am feeling so hurt?
"Two. You are to follow my orders,no matter what. I ask you to come,you come. I ask you to leave,you fucking do without questioning. No ifs and buts or you will be punished just like others."
I nod again, looking down. I will try my best to be the perfect mate, I will change his perspective of me.
"And three..."
He goes silent and I look up at him from below my eyelashes.
Why did he stop?His eyes took me from top to bottom.From my legs to my face and I feel suffocated.His features cover in disgust and I prepare for the worst.
"If I see you flirting around with my men. I swear on moon goddess Thora. I will first kill you before I kill him. Am I understood?"
I gulp. His words made me shiver.
"Y..es Alpha"
I say and before I know ,my chin is roughly grabbed and he pulls up my face.
My widened brown eyes met his cold grey ones as he utters with pure hated."I said look at me and answer, do I have to remind this the hard way?"
I move my head in a no and he leaves my chin. Sitting back on his seat and adjusting his tuxedo.
I take a deep breath, tears stinging my eyes.So much hatred? How will I teach him to love me ?
What does it take to amend for one's mistakes?"Clean your tears. We are approaching."
He orders and I look up to see a castle welcoming us.
I use my shoulder sleeve to clean the traces of tears in my eyes, as I took in the beauty of the place through my hazy vision.The Volkan Empire
Read a big stone encryption on the entrance and I feel my heart drop in the pit of my stomach.
...........................................
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
"Pl....ease..."I stutter, afraid of his changed aura. To only have him coil his hand around my neck from behind and jerk me up ."Ahhh"A shriek leaves my lips as his face lowers, to make his chin rest on my shoulder from behind.His subtle beard hitting my cheek and my grip on the bedsheets tightening."When I ask you something. You answer me girl. "He whispers near my ear, his breath hitting my ear making goosebumps to appear on my skin ."Yes...Sir..."I merely say, gulping.He hmms , his nose moving down my jawline as he sniffs me."Now speak!"His words loud and rude making my heart leap in my chest.And his grip on my neck strong. But not strong enough to hurt."I...in my previous pack...I...was an Omega...if..I didn't listened to orders...I ...just like others I got punished...."He doesn't say anything. I just hope he doesn't ask me more or I don't want to lie to him r
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
