Chapter 64Xavier's POVJust as I turned to leave the moulded chair where I sat with my mate, the gates of the compound opened, its two metal arms swung apart and a familiar golden carriage appeared from the other side of it. The customary horn was blown, alerting all inside that we were graced by royalty. My heart sank at the sound of those horns. I immediately felt under the weather as a sudden cold gripped me. The inevitable had come. The time was now. Zara paused at the scene too. One carriage left the house but two returned. The second, from it's majestic look, belonged to none other than the affluent Alpha of the Crescent moon pack, Alpha Alken, Riana's father. "You should go in," I said to Zara, eager that she leave. For some reason I did not want her to see me with Riana. We just had a connection, I could not compromise that.After Zara left, I slipped away too. I was not too hasty to meet the princess or her father. The time would come, I kept telling myself but procrastin
Chapter 65Zara's POVThe two carriages that came into the mansion caught my attention. The scene decorated with the horns blown and formalities, caught Xavier's eyes too. I hated having to leave him, the only seemingly reasonable person in my life.Xavier was a delight to look at. I had found a way to look at him without thinking of his father, the man I hated."Come here," Alpha Damon commanded immediately I walked into his room. I expected that he would be gone by his time, after overhearing his calls from earlier but he was still around, painfully so. "Where have you been?" His voice still carried a bit of anger, although much less than earlier when he hit me."The... the garden. I went to...I, I had to pick some mushrooms," my voice shook and so did I. It was not on purpose, my stuttering. It was merely a malfunction caused by the fear I felt, a fear of being abused by the man standing before me. My father would have scolded at my stutter. He would have said something like, "no
Chapter 1 ZARA'S POV "Whoosh!!" The sudden sound of cold water rushing all over my body. My mouth involuntarily gaped open to regulate my hyperventilation as I opened my eyes to see my whole body and bed covered in water. In a bid to understand what just happened, I searched around for an explanation, only to see Miriam, my stepmother with an empty bucket dripping water, her hands on her waist and her eyes full of hateful mischief. "M... Mum-" "If it wasn't that you were wet right now and I don't want to stain my palm with the dirt on your skin, I would've given you a dirty slap. How many times have I warned you never to call me your mother anymore? Do I look like a dead witch to you?!", She threw harsh words at my face, but I was trying not to shiver as the early morning attacked my skin. "I... I'm sorry, Miss Miriam", I muttered as I avoided her face. "Were you born into this world to be some sleeping beauty? Do you want to sleep your life away? Don't you have chores that y
Chapter 02 DAMON’S POV "I'll be there when I get out of this dump site of a pack", I said to the elders and got off the call with a tired sigh. As my Beta, Hugh, drove through the Red Moon pack, I shook my head in pity. This place was a mere shadow compared to the empire that I led. Everything we passed was so small and dry. Now I see why they were so quick to beg for a peace treaty immediately when we threatened them with war. I mean, no pack in the entire wolf kingdom dared to agree to a battle against us except they were tired of living, but no one had ever gone so quickly on their knees, ready to kiss my balls like the RedMoon pack One of their hunters had mistakenly hurt a young son from my empire who'd strayed a little bit. Immediately the news came to me, I sent my messengers to tell RedMoon pack to get ready for a war, but they immediately came bearing gifts, begging and promising to give us whatever we wanted if we agreed to overlook the mistake. I would've sen
Chapter 03 ZARA'S POV "The guests are here!!", Miriam rushed into the kitchen and alerted the maids with a sense of urgency. "I need everyone on deck! Get to serve them their food immediately! I don't want anyone acting like an old woman here! Get their food to them quickly and carefully!!", She yelled instructions to each maids as they hurried out of the kitchen with the food I just made. After almost getting hit by a bunch of rich fools and trekking to the border to get wolf peppers, I ended up staying choked in the kitchen making a three course meal for the guests that we were going to have. From what I heard, our guests where the Alpha and Beta of Blood moon pack the strongest pack in all of the wolf Kingdom, with an Alpha that couldn't be looked in the eyes even by the greatest men because of how ruthless, heartless and cold he was. Miriam was supposed to be one to cook or at least supervise it, but she made me do it and took all of the credit. "And what are you doing
Chapter 4 ZARA'S POV "I can't take this anymore. If the Moon Goddess isn't going to help me, then to hell with her. I'm going to help myself before I die", I muttered as I cleaned the tears from my face. I couldn't explain where I got the surge of courage and strength from, I decided it in my mind. I was going to leave this abysmal palace before it'd have the chance to run me mad or worse, take my life. I got up from the bed and walked to the door. Gently, I opened it and stuck my head out, peeping through the long hallway. It was empty. "Good" I gently stepped out and slowly closed the door, making sure the wooden door didn't make any sounds. It was well past midnight and everyone had retired to their rooms. I saw no one as I walked down the hallway. It was awfully lonely and cold. As the wind slapped my torn skin, the tingling pain reminded me of the risk I was taking. It reminded me of the possible consequences I could face if anything went wrong, and with the once radical c
Chapter 5 ZARA'S POV "Oh shit!!", Luna yelled in terror when she caught sight of me staring at them fucking. Confused by what was happening, Kyle pushed Luna to see what was happening, and his eyes widened in shock at the sight of his girlfriend staring at them from the darkness. “Za... Zara, I can explain...", Kyle began to stutter as he frantically put on his boxers and jumped away from her I opened my mouth to yell in horror, but it felt like my tongue had somehow been tied, and the only thing I could do was stare from my tear-blurry eyes at the image of my own sister, naked and bouncing back on my boyfriend's dick. They were so deep in pleasure that they didn't even realize that someone was staring at them in the darkness for minutes. “Kyle?Luna?”. I managed to say as I watched them struggle to put on their clothes. Luna had a smug look on face. No wonder, she was not dining with us when that horrible Alpha was here and Kyle didn't tell me he was coming around today. I…
Chapter 6ZARA'S POV “A word to my dearest,” Alpha Damon said as soon as he crouched before me, raising my chin up with a finger. “No one touches my bride and goes scot-free.”I was crying uncontrollably, despite Alpha Damon yelling countless times for me to shut up. My father remained unmoving, Asher probably dead. I caught a glimpse of Miriam and Luna at the other end of the field, bawling their eyes out. I kept screaming out to my father, and this time when Alpha Damon approached, it wasn't to warn me again.He slapped me across the face. “I hate repeating myself, young girl.” He turned to his subordinates. “These people have proven to be incompetent. Right under my nose, another man dares to touch my bride.” My eyes widened in shock, wondering just how what had transpired a few days ago had gotten to the Blood Moon Pack that was four vast grasslands away. I then remembered there were spies and Rogues constantly patrolling and switching between clan territories. Knowledge was

Chapter 64Xavier's POVJust as I turned to leave the moulded chair where I sat with my mate, the gates of the compound opened, its two metal arms swung apart and a familiar golden carriage appeared from the other side of it. The customary horn was blown, alerting all inside that we were graced by royalty. My heart sank at the sound of those horns. I immediately felt under the weather as a sudden cold gripped me. The inevitable had come. The time was now. Zara paused at the scene too. One carriage left the house but two returned.

Chapter 63Xavier's POVReturning to my father's house was sure to be dreadful. Kraken, my best friend, was still away on his mission to another pack but he would be back soon, I heard and I could only hope. I wandered outside, an unusual behaviour for me, to meet the most beautiful girl I had ever set my eyes on. I felt different from the moment I saw her. I wanted to talk to her, wanted to know more about the reason for this burning desire that overtook me. It felt a lot like it did in the pool with the moon goddess on the night of my initiation into the pack. My need for her felt natural, like it had always been there and it never did not exist. Her touch over me was powerful, the way her green emerald eyes sparkled in the sun, the way her voice was unlike any other, enchanting and captivating. Zara possessed a quiet, calm yet strong resolve. I could see it from beneath those gem-like eyes."How do I know that you're any different," she asked, clearly in doubt of my character.
Chapter 62Zara's POV"I'm his son," took so long to register in my head. I'm his son. For the longest time since we met, silence brewed between us. The sound of the morning wind, calm and occasionally strong, overtook the silence. I looked away from him now, unable to imagine how someone so perfect could come from someone so flawed but then again, on closer inspection, the resemblance was uncanny. They had the same blue eyes that drew me in. The same facial structure that made you doubt God's fairness to other people. They stood at about the same height. The few differences between them were his long, blonde hair and the visible fact that he was younger. "How?" I tried not to sound betrayed by this shocking revelation but I think my voice failed me. "How are you his son?"Despite the imposing resemblance, Xavier was at least twenty and Alpha Damon looked too young to have a child that age. I guess I was just looking for a reason not to believe that they were related. I was look
Chapter 61 Zara's POVOutside Alpha Damon's room, I could finally get a personal view of that magnificent garden sitting in the compound. There was a path separating the two sides of the garden. It was almost a little too big for a garden, as it covered almost an entire plot.The garden had rows of roses, tulips and lilies and so many exotic breeds I could not recognise. It was a perfect combination of so many different colours- red, white, blue, yellow, splattered all over the place. It brought peace to me, this place. It was the only place I felt a little at peace in the mansion. With the basket I found lying around in the kitchen, I headed straight for the mushrooms I spotted from inside Alpha Damon's room.I loved mushrooms, partly because of how they tasted and partly because I knew how to identify the poisonous kind. It felt good to possess uncommon knowledge. I walked through the garden, my eyes sifting through the numerous mushrooms just sitting there.Anything with a shade
Chapter 60 Zara's POVI used to love the mornings. I loved the way the rays of the sun seemed to blind out every problem that I had. I don't know when I stopped loving the mornings. I don't know when the sun was no longer enough to block out those problems. These problems keep growing, bigger and bigger every second. I woke up to the sound of Alpha Damon on a call with a person I assumed was his secretary from the way he spoke. He barked orders at the person on the other end, but then again, he barked orders at everybody.I once tried to understand him. Why he acted the way he did? Nurture or nature? As a child, I read anything and everything I could find in the grand library at my pack house, from fictional story books to history books. There was nothing about the Blood moon pack's previous Alpha. It was like he never existed. "Make yourself at home," he said. "This is your new home. I've said this before but you still ran away. It does not matter. You can't run from me," he said
Chapter 59Somewhere in the Crescent moon pack,A black lambo with the flag of the Blood moon pack raised at its side pulled up by the high gates of the Crescent moon pack smeared in purple and gold paint. Inside the car is none other than Alpha Damon's right hand man, and the only person he could trust to fetch the princess, Beta Hugh.It took the whole day to get to the village, an exhausting journey, even for a trained and seasoned enforcer like Beta Hugh.Past the gates and into the magnificent village where he, Beta Hugh, would find the princess, stood the imposing pack house.He walked into the building, formal and straightforward as always. His mission was one and he would fulfill it, he always did. He would take princess Riana Park to the Blood moon village in preparation for her wedding with his prince and liege."Your majesty," he prostrated for the lightly but richly dressed man sitting before him. A message had been sent to the Alpha before Hugh's arrival so everything wo
Chapter 58Zara's POVMy heart sank as Alpha Damon uttered the words, "it can't be." My attempt at deceiving him was futile after all. It was foolish of me to think I could lie to him with his ability to hear my heartbeat and possibly even know what I was thinking through our mind links. Although mind links were meant exclusively for members of the same pack.I tried as much as possible to conceal my thoughts, hoping for the best but expecting the worst to happen. "Wait in the bedroom," Alpha Damon commanded after his interrogation, torture session. He seemed to have bought the story I made up about the moonlight pack. It was known throughout werewolf city of the feud between the Blood Moon pack and the Moonlight pack so it was easy to put the blame on the Blood Moon pack's rival but I expected more hesitation from Alpha Damon.I summoned the last of my strength to walk away from the suspicious werewolf as fast as I could, before he noticed that I had been lying. His bedroom, a huge
Chapter 57Xavier's POVWaking up to the sound of young, horny adults is a nightmare. My nightmare was on repeat. "Harder baby, harder!" Became my alarm in the crappy apartment I stayed in. I never imagined Nick to be the nymphomaniac kind of guy. The worst part was that I could not think about complaining, I had nowhere else to go. I was grateful for his offer too.It had been three days since I moved in with Nick and every night since has been filled with awkward, high pitched and disturbing sounds at night.Nick's one bedroom apartment was small and anything but cozy. He had clothes littered over every furniture in his sparsely furnished space. His apartment defined "low budget" with his.small, flat screen TV, a rickety, brown and ugly sofa and his bed at the one end of the room, all squeezed in a tiny space."Make yourself at home," he said, the afternoon I arrived, his emerald green eyes gleaming as he spoke. Nick was always like that, always the first person to offer a helping
