Alpha Lucas’s POV “You look perfect,” Emma said and I smiled tilting my head to look at her. I was looking at myself in the huge mirror ready to have a council meeting with my council members. I wanted to talk to them about my mating ceremony with Emma, I can’t waste any more time and I want it done immediately “Thank you, you are my eyes,” I said and Emma chuckled standing before me, I bend my head and kissed her before walking out of the room. Ever since Emma and I decided to tie the knot, I felt so much joy that is unexplainable. I feel so lucky to be part of her. I hardly smile but now I smile so often that people around the pack notice, I stopped in front of the grand door and the guard opened the door for me, I went inside and everyone stood up until I walked to my throne and they sat down “I have gathered you here today to inform you about my mating ceremony with Emma, we will start the preparation immediately,” I said and I heard murmurs between the council members “We do
Author’s POV A YEAR LATERThe manor was bustling with physicians moving in and out of the Luna’s chamber. Alpha Lucas was standing close to the door, too scared to go inside as he heard the screaming of his wife Luna Emma, his hands were sweaty, and he had prayed to everything that exists to keep his wife and unborn child healthy. He couldn’t bare the agonizing scream coming out of Emma’s mouth, he wanted to run inside and hold her, but his council members held him down. He suddenly heard another scream from Emma and tried to burst the door open, but they held him down, and he snarled at them. “Do you love how your head is still part of your body? Anyone who holds me again won’t live to see the next sunrise” Alpha Lucas threatened, and they all stepped away at once, he went inside the room and saw Emma sweating profusely. “You are here?” Emma groaned and he quickly rushed to hold her hand. “You are not meant to be here, alpha Lucas,” one of the maidens said, and alpha Lucas snarl
Emma pov "Alpha Lucas will see you now." The guard at the entrance to his room said.My heart jumped in fear as I realised he was talking to us. The beta grabbed me by the arm and dragged me forward to the door. The guard, whose face was grim and steely, looked away as we approached him. I looked up at him with desperate eyes, but he didn't meet my eyes. He wasn't ready to help me. Nobody would. I was stuck in this, all by myself.The beta opened the door and pulled me inside, and for a moment I forgot my troubles. The room he dragged me into was nothing short of grand. I couldn't see much: the lights had been turned off and only low lamps illuminated the room. But from the little my eyes could garner, I knew that I'd stepped into the room belonging to someone powerful.The several windows that punctuated the walls had been closed and the curtains drawn, giving the room a more gloomy look. I could see a four-poster bed in the far right: its curtains had been drawn too. Plush chairs
Emma pov.I stood in silence as his eyes moved over my body. This felt even more exposing than being naked. No man had ever seen my naked body; I felt my cheeks go red with embarrassment.The alpha raised a hand and skimmed the top of my breasts, just below my collarbone. I waited with halted breath for what he would do next, but he took his sweet time. His face remained impassive as he rubbed me, then suddenly his hand moved down and one of my breasts was in his grip.I almost cried out at the sudden pain. His grip was far from gentle. He seemed to derive pleasure from causing me pain, as I watched his eyes go dark with arousal. Soon my body became used to the rhythm of his squeezing and my cries of pain slowly turned to moans of pleasure. I wanted to wrap my arms around his neck and steady myself on his strong weight.I continued to moan and move back and forth on my feet as he continued to squeeze that one breast. Then his grip loosened and his hand moved to my nipples. He grabbed
Emma pov. I was bound in chains. I couldn't think of anything more degrading than that.The guard who had brought me asked me to stand before the door and wait for the signal to enter. I had no idea what was going on on the other side of the door, neither was I sure I was prepared for it.Were they going to finally kill me? Would I be sold into slavery? Would the alpha take pity on me and release me because of the steamy night we shared together?I wasn't very certain of the last thought. The look in his eyes as he had told me to get out of his room was one of pure hatred. I didn't think he liked me. All he just wanted was a good hard fuck.Lost in my gloomy thoughts, I barely noticed when the door opened. The guard who peeked from the opened door must have called my name several times, but I was too deep in thought. Then he yanked on my chains forcefully and I gave a small start, standing up and looking towards the door."The alpha is requesting for you." He said with a bored voice
Lucas pov . I watched as Lana walked out of the courtroom angrily. The whole room had been cast in silence as the Wolf Elders watched me for a reaction. I could feel their eyes on me, boring into my skin like drills. I fisted my hands, trying to control my anger. Anger at Lana who had just left, anger at the girl that knelt before me, her eyes downcast. She was the cause of all of this, the cause of the embarrassment from the Wolf Elders, the cause of the intense rage I felt brewing inside me. I wanted to grab her shoulders and shake her. I wanted her to be punished. I shouldn't have slept with her.I turned to one guard who stood on standby. "Take her out of here." I said, pointing to the woman on the ground. The guard bowed, then moved to the slave that knelt in the middle of the courtroom. "Hold it there!" Elder Ryker said, stopping the guard. Then he turned to me. "We're not done here. We have not closed this discussion. That girl—""I do not wish to continue this argument wi
I walked out of Lana's patio and back into her room, where she sat before her vanity table. She didn't even spare me a glance as I walked past her. Her back was straight and her eyes stared at nothing. Her sleek hair was straight and nothing was out of place. Even the tears that had been in her eyes mere seconds ago was gone now, and I wondered if I had imagined those teary eyes. She looked as though she hadn't been fazed by our conversation.I looked away from her and moved to the door, trying to put all thoughts of her away from my mind. I knew she would come around: she had no choice but to do so. She was my mate and she belonged to me. Her utmost loyalty was to me, and her place was by my side.I walked out of the room and towards the slave's quarters, where I knew that accursed girl would be. The slave quarters was located behind the main house and had just four rooms: two for the males and two for the females, in which all the slaves lived. I could afford to build a more habitab
Emma POV… It's been two days since I arrived at this place. Life hasn't been effortless for me, and the more I try to understand it, the more it appears incomprehensible to understand. I tried as much as possible to avoid getting into one disruption or the others. Did my chores just the same way Lady Josephine allocated them to me, but then Lady Josephine, was always against me. Whenever I try to do something right she claims it was wrong, but still, I didn't cease trying to do my best. I finished all my chores and then decided to retire to bed. I walked through the grassland, back to the slave compartments, and I mistakenly bumped into someone. " Watch where you're going, pig head! “enunciates a young girl with an ebony long follicle and a gorgeous face. “ I'm sorry I wasn't watching my steps, please forgive me. “ I quickly apologized to her and pivoted to leave, but then she dragged me back to the very locale I just left. " The problem is not about apologizing to me, but you
