|| TORVAR KESSLER'S POV ||
" Alpha Don, Alpha Maxim is ready to step down from the western land if that's what you want but he wants to ensure your mat...I mean, Princess Ashina's safety.", my beta, Rodriguez notified me hesitantly, his eyes held the fear.
I gulped the liquor down, slammed the glass down on the floor. Again! He chose Ashina! No wonder, she had always been his favorite child. But what was my mate's fault? Because she loved me more than her own hypocrite father?
My life changed a year ago when I saw Anya's dead body. My heart stopped beating from that moment. To me, Ashina was nothing but a hate of source who could only remind me of the painful incident that I had experienced that year. From being the most chaotic wolf, my wolf became too quiet after losing his mate. I still remembered the pain which looked all fresh and new. Apparently, having my second chance mate didn't help me out. She was the one who did this to my mate. Either her or her father, they both were responsible for Anya's death and I was going to make sure that they will witness hell on earth.
A smirk played on my lips, looking down at the confirmation letter,
" Lovely! I should tell his dear daughter about how her father is going to lose his face in front of the whole damn mafia."
I enjoyed watching her in tears. But today, the fact that she called those Italians her own pack got on my nerves. I didn't know why but it pissed me off so much. As I attempted to leave the room, Rodriguez spoke again in a hesitant voice,
" By the way..we haven't received a confirmation letter from their Beta. You know, about this case of lands, we need Beta's approval more than the Alpha."
I shot him a glare. A Beta? Rodriguez had been telling me for a while that Alpha Maxim's new Beta was interrupting each one of our settlements. In other words, he wasn't willing to compromise anything with us. I snorted lightly, pulling out a cigarette to light on,
" Do you think that a beta can stop me from what I want? If Alpha Maxim cares about Beta more than his own daughter, he should forget about his daughter then."
I tched with hatred and mockery. Rodriguez had something else in his mind as he said in a pitiful voice,
" Pardon Alpha Don but.. don't you think that it's time to let go of your grudges? Princess Ashina is suffering too much. Because of your neglect, other pack members all look down on her and bully her too often. I may not always be present in the pack but I am not blind."
I rebuked the growl, hissing in rage,
" She fucking deserves it, Rodriguez. Tell me..Did she show mercy to my mate or her father? Did they show mercy to the baby in Anya's stomach?"
Rodriguez lost his words and looked down in guilt. He knew very well what I had suffered. I was never a guy to believe that nature will take its revenge. If I have the option to take my own revenge, I will do it at any cost.

|| ASHINA LEVITSKY'S POV ||
" Why did you run away from the pack?", I questioned the girl, staring into her vacant eyes. She was terrified here. I could tell from the way her voice was shaking.
She let out a low sob, mumbled looking down at her feet,
" I...I thought of living alone..in the town with my human.. mate.."
I felt sorry for her. Everyone deserved to live the life that they wanted. In the case of me, I almost forgot how to live like a free woman. Jenny stared up with her tearful eyes, started begging in no moment,
" You are the Luna of this pack, aren't you? Can you help me, please? I swear, I have no ill intentions. I just wanted to leave the territory. Please, Luna! Only you can help me out."
For the very first time, my wolf purred in satisfaction after being called 'Luna'. In this Red Moon Wolves, no one ever called me Luna nor did they respect me like that. I found it valid and null since their Alpha Don never treated me once like his mate.
I felt hopeless after what Jenny requested me. I had no powers or status in this pack. Even Torvar Kessler hated the sight of mine. How was I supposed to help her to get out of this mess? Was I really that useless?
I couldn't understand but at that very moment, I wanted to act like Luna. It was my rightful place in the pack yet so foreign to me. For the first time, I wished to save this girl who was probably the next target of Torvar's wrath.
But how was I supposed to help her? Torvar wouldn't even listen to me.
When the sound of the metal door opening broke our attention, I saw a muscular guard walking inside. His eyes were fixed on Jenny, probably planning to drag her out. He wasn't even looking in my direction. Amidst the chaos and pain, I noticed that Torvar didn't let others torturing me. It was always him who broke me into pieces.
The guard grabbed her up with her hair, Jenny's cry echoed in the air painfully,
" Let go..Let go of me...Luna...hmm.."
Despite her protest, the guard continued dragging her out. Without thinking about anything, I jumped between them to block him from going out. Both Jenny and the guard looked up at me, astonishing. I told him in a commanding voice,
" Let go of her!! Let her stay here!"
The guard tried to retort but my by-born Alpha aura forced him to look down. It was a wolf's instinct to act submissively in front of the Alpha or Luna. Jenny sent me a pathetic look, a grateful smile forming on her lips. I had no idea for how long I was going to stop her from being punished.
" My little doll learnt to speak back! How interesting!!", another voice grew behind me, taking my breath away in fear. Without facing him, I could feel his killing aura.
Whipping my head back, I saw Torvar standing against the bars. His lips pulled up into a malicious smirk as if he was watching an entertainment show here. He continued to smile at me,
" Why did you stop? Keep ordering, Darling. Hmm! Did you get scared of me? Aren't you the brave princess Ashina Levitsky?"
I caught the mockery behind his tone. Yes, I was proud to be the Alpha Princess. Without beating around the bush, I blurted in a weak voice,
" Let her..live..Alpha..She is still young...I can do anything for her survival.."
Torvar raised his brows, chuckling,
" Anything? Are you sure??"
Something told me that it was a bad idea. But Jenny needed to be saved first. I had caused too much destruction to my pack. I could no longer be the reason for their doom. I even wished that I could help my father but it was no vain.
The smile on Torvar's face vanished suddenly. Gripping my hair back, he pulled me up against his chest, his firm chest poking against my erratic nipples. I hated how easily my body turned on against his touch. It was like one intense look from him, I was going to be so wet.
Torvar blurted on my face, seething in anger,
" You are so desperate to save your dear pack member, aren't you? Fine! Come with me, Ashina! Tomorrow, the annual party of the Mafias, you will represent yourself as the slave of Red Moon Wolves. Tell me, do you agree? Not Luna or mate but a sex slave of Torvar Kessler! Do you still want to save her now?"
AUTHOR's NOTE: Hello dears!! You might find Torvar's character annoying at the beginning but trust me, it will get better with the plot development. The book contains light dark Romance and hate to love theme. So, your author will have to portray their character in that way._______________________________|| ASHINA LEVITSKY'S POV ||I could feel my heart almost stopped beating on his proposal. What could be more humiliating than being someone's sex slave in this era?Torvar had his own ways to torture me. That's what, he had been doing for the past one year. It gave him immense joy to see my pain. Blankly, I pushed my eyes up to fall on Jenny. She was still crying and shaking in tears. All she wanted to have a family of her own just like my sister, Anya. Remembering how I failed to save her from my father's wrath, I became numb inside.Tears were pouring from my heavy eyes, I blurted by squeezing my eyes shut tightly, " I..I will... Whatever you want...I will.. do it.. Just let her
|| ASHINA LEVITSKY's POV ||I rose up from the car like an inanimate being, walking corpse. It was hard to put it in words how I felt at that moment. Meeting your first love after a long time wasn't so easy. In a flash, you end up thinking how awesome it would have been if you two were together.Standing in front of the ancient architectured building, I had the same feeling. Blaze was here with my father today. Ever since I became Torvar's mate, we didn't meet in person. He must be hating me to death.I broke my attention from my thoughts when the car engine started behind me. We arrived just now at the city's oldest villa, a place to hold the meetings for the Mafias. The texture outside the building was old and ironic, carrying a vibe of the 17s era. I used to hear about this building from my father but it was my first time coming here.Torvar walked ahead, paused for a second to warn me in a serious voice," No talk, Ashina. You know how to behave, don't you? Or else..your dear pack
|| TORVAR KESSLER's POV ||It was suspicious of how the beta cared for her. I wasn't a fool to see that he didn't actually eat his food because of her condition. She deserved to stay on the floor. After a year living with the Red Moon Wolves, she still bet her pride for her father's pack's members.During the time of eating, that beta kept looking at her way in every single moment, compassion and sorrow could be seen in his eyes as if he wanted to rob her from here. Although I pretended like I saw nothing, their small interaction didn't miss my attention.Huh! Let him look! She was mine!! What was the point of taking a look?Whatever it was, my wolf was bothered by it. I tried hard to ignore it because she wasn't the woman that I loved. Each time, I had sex with her, it was more like a playing with toy without any real feelings. The love of my life had died a year back. She must be playing in heaven with our unborn baby.As the sorrow of the past stabbed my heart, a voice just added t
|| ASHINA LEVITSKY's POV ||I had a panic attack again!From the past few years, I found myself several times, stuck between reality and dream out of panic. When he asked me repeatedly what I was doing here, all I could think was panic. What if he found that Blaze met me in the washroom? What if he thought that I was betraying his pack?When all these negative thoughts crossed my mind, Rodriguez appeared like my savior, his one hand clutching a phone. He talked between us, sensing the tense atmosphere between us," Alpha Don, it was me. Sorry, I had to take an urgent call. I brought her here to use the washroom."Torvar let go of me without questioning further. But it hurt to think that he trusted everyone around him except me. He responded coldly," You should have at least told me once! Cut the crap now! Let's go back to the party! And you my dear.."He shifted his dark eyes on me, and warned by pointing his finger," If I find you talking to your father or that punk, you will be de
|| ASHINA LEVITSKY's POV ||Those tears in my eyes were the proof of how he broke me every time with his actions and words. He just appeared here and without judging anything, I was the sole culprit. My wolf was refuted to submit today especially after what Alpha West did to me. For once,I wanted to speak for myself, challenging the Alpha of my life.Shooting a hateful glare at Mr.West, I blurted sternly, showing my determination," I will never ever say sorry to someone who wronged me. You can do whatever you want but I am not going to ask for his forgiveness, Alpha Don."I stormed away, leaving him with no choice. When I returned to the party again, Blaze wasn't there anymore. Suddenly, tears blurred my vision to imagine how life would have been if Blaze was my mate._______|| TORVAR KESSLER's POV ||I stared unblinking at her retreating back. It was her first time, opposing my order in public. Not to mention, she was literally challenging me. Fuck! Was she daring to challenge me t
|| ASHINA LEVITSKY's POV ||After the long tortured period passed, I found my favorite place to sit down. There wasn't a single day that I didn't cry after being dragged to this pack from Russia. Today was the same but a sweet feeling worked after getting those candies. I remembered that piece of precious memory from my childhood. Whenever I was upset, I used to eat a lot of candies. My best partner was back then Blaze.Unfortunately Torvar found me with a bunch of candies that had a Russian brand name imprinted on it. As I kept pondering over my answer, he lifted my jaw up, demanding an answer," OPEN YOUR MOUTH, ASHINA! DID YOU FUCKING MEET THEM BEHIND MY BACK?"I ended up in tears, knowing that there was no option to lie anymore. Blurting out in tears, I replied half - truthfully," NOOO!!! They.. just sent it to me..."Torvar eased down a little but the fire in his eyes didn't extinguish totally. Snatching those candies away from my hands, he threw it on the ground as he spat aggr
|| ASHINA LEVITSKY's POV ||" Blood... There's blood..a lot.. blood.."I began to wipe my hands together repeatedly. Although it had nothing, I felt like my hands were covered in blood like the previous times. It was one sort of trauma that I had been dealing with ever since Anya's death. My heart couldn't accept Anya's death in my hands. Whenever I saw blood, those painful memories flashed back to forth and turned it on.My hands started to ache for the consistent rubbing. I couldn't stand it anymore and fell on my knees to cry silently. I kept repeating the chorus to myself," I didn't kill my sister..I didn't..mean to do it..I really.."Multiple whimpers slipped past my lips painfully. This trauma was getting so severe that sometimes I fainted on the sight of blood. No one noticed what I was dealing with. In Red Moon Wolves, I was their biggest enemy in the house. Hence, no one really paid attention to me.Fiona knocked on my door, asking me whether I would have my snacks or not. B
|| TORVAR KESSLER's POV ||Her words kept ringing into my ears repeatedly. She challenged me whether I really trusted her or not. How was I supposed to trust the woman whose father had killed my mate and child?Letting out a sneer, I growled back on her face," You don't speak to me like that, Ashina Levitsky!! You are forgetting that I am your ALPHA!"Tears stung from her pale eyes. Her eyes became dull and empty. Her lips pulled up into a self-ridicule smile when she told me back," Yes! I wish, I could forget it as well that you are my mate."Did she fucking say that she was ashamed to have me as her mate?My wolf growled within me, forcing me to show his powers over her. However, she was already very weak from the beating. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't pull myself up to confront her at this stage. Glaring down at her, I twisted my lips to tell her," Opps! Too bad! You are already my mate. Even the law can't allow you to be with that useless Beta in your father's pack."T
Lisa didn't turn her face back to ensure her assumptions. She continued walking without turning back and stopped only after she found Ronica's Prison.Ronica grinned at her widely when she saw Lisa coming in and assured with a smile," Come faster, Lisa. They aren't here anymore."Lisa nodded her head hurriedly and went up to unlock the gate hastily. Her mind went wildly when the thought of being caught came across her mind.She opened the prison door cautiously and tiptoed over Ronica who was chained badly. A sympathy flashed across her eyes as she bent down to unwrap her chain and spoke in a sorry voice," It must be very hard for you! Look at you! They are so cruel."Ronica gave her a half smile and breathed in her first heir of freedom after Lisa removed the chain from her body. Ronica stood up holding her palms together and spoke out with gratitude for saving her life," I don't know how to thank you, Lisa. If you didn't let me out, perhaps I would have died in this prison one da
It was evening time when she came down to inform her parents that she would be heading off for Caroline's house today. Caroline assured her to send off soon. After that trumatised incident, she began to spend more and more time with others to erase such fearsome thoughts from her mind.His dad stared at her flying back blankly. His old wrinkled face contoured in worry. A helpless sigh came out from his lips. Hanging his head down lowly, he fell in dillemma untill Mrs. Adams tapped on his shoulders. Glancing up at her husband worryingly, she asked in a low voice," Have you told her yet? I..I am sure that she will understand us."Mr.Adams shook his head denying. He knew his daughter too well. Apart from being sensitive, she was too stubborn and adamant to focus on her perfect career only. There was no way out that she would agree to get married with him so soon.Things had happened according to Lucien's plan. Just a day ago, he met Isabella's father personally and showed his intention
" Do you take Lucien Xander Mitchell as your lawfully wedded husband, Miss Isabella Adams?", the priest chanted the last question of their vows.Isabella stood there absentmindedly. The day of their wedding had come sooner than she expected. As soon as her father sent the message to Lucien that they were agreed with his proposal more likely a business deal, Lucien made no delay in marriage. Right after two days later on, their wedding venue were arranged simply outside of Isabella's house. Her parents wandered why did Lucien wanted to keep the wedding a secret. Appearently he was the infamous CEO of town right away. His followers would have gone insane in happiness that their honourable CEO was finally married. But they had no other choice but to follow Lucien's order. Except Caroline and Mia, only few neighbors were present as the audience of their wedding.Drapped in a long transparent milk-white veil, Isabella was looking like a fairy from tales. The blue diamond necklace around he
Her chest tightened in pain. She just wanted to yell at her own fate that why was she destined to marry a creature. On the contrary, Lucien was having the exact opposite reaction. His wolf howled in joy, purred in extreme happiness when his mate finally agreed to become his officially. Not much Lucien's human side cared too much since he had inserted the thought inside his mind that everything was happening just because they had a faithful mate bond.Cheers of clap thundered around when the event came to an end. Isabella forced a smile for the audience out there. Caroline and Mia were extremely happy for their best friend. Coming over to greet the newly wedded couple, Caroline couldn't help but shamelessly taking her credit," Look, Look! I just did a perfect match. Come on, brother-in-law. You both should give me a treat."Lucien pulled his lips into a smile. Indeed if Caroline didn't invite Isabella in her home party, nothing would have happened between them. To show respect to his
The position made her body stiffening in embarrassment eternally. He was standing between her parted thighs. His shoulders tensed up as he trapped her between his two slender arms. His eyes gleamed in unknown anger, ready to brust out but for some reason, he was taking slow pace.His order rang in her ears, enough to feel a shiver running through her spine. Isabella cursed herself for forgetting the fact that she was dealing with a beast not a human. From the scornful heat of his eyes, she could assume that how much her words angered him.Lucien demanded for another command again, getting impatient over this weeping silence between them," REPEAT! "His hoarse voice shook her body lightly. Her feet shuffled together uncomfortably. A part of her wanted to yell back at him but it would only bring dangers upon her. Isabella muttered after taking a lungful breath as her encouragement," I just spitted the truth. We..we aren't meant for each others."She spoke before lifting her head up t
The aftereffect of her dream left her breathless. Isabella's eyes flew open widely, terror flushed on her expression. Out of her consciousness, a shine layer of thin sweat formed on her forehead.Isabella sat up breathlessly. Her breathing turned erratic as she tried to process what she saw in her dream. The dream felt so real as if she was transformed into another world, into another person. The satisfaction that she felt for stabbing Lucien was definitely weird. She never believed in killing people or seeking revenge on someone.Was it all just a bad dream or a hint of her future?As the thoughts clouded her mind, Isabella looked outside at the sky blankly. A loneliness creepted through her mind when she found herself all alone after waking up from a nightmare. Until yesterday, she was imagining of having someone in her life who would wake up by her side each morning. But now everything was nothing but a wishful thought only. In the end,she was all alone in this marriage.After putt
The entire ride towards her university was silent. Ever since she learnt from Lucien that Ikaya wasn't his girlfriend but fiancee, Isabella had the feeling of running back to her house. All the while, she felt like a home wrecker who suddenly barged in their blissful life.Lucien was driving the car personally. From time to time, he noticed how absentminded she was. Isabella was snapped back to reality once she heard his car horning. Swiping her gaze around, she found that they had nearly arrived at her university.Isabella kept unbuckling her seatbelt then heard Lucien's cold voice," Keep our marriage secret from public. I don't want to get you into trouble."His careless voice reminded her once again that they were in a contract marriage literally. Without meeting his eyes, Isabella responded mumbling on her words," Yes, Your Highness! "Lucien snapped his head back to narrow his gaze on her slightly. Though everyone addressed him with respect, such respective words from her sound
Lucien strode through the elevator with a stern face. One hand holding the tablet, he was scrolling through the latest news of capital where the news of his marriage with Isabella made several headlines. His jaw clenched and eyes snapped behind to glare at Vincent who was as surprised as he was," How did all happen?"Lucien tried to conceal the news for the sake of Isabella's safety. Though he was living in mortal world, his enemies were everywhere. If Isabella was just another werewolf, it wouldn't have been a issue for him. But she was human and weak by nature. His enemies would definitely make her as their sole target. He wanted to keep her secret as long as possible. Letting others know about his human mate would definitely invite unnecessary troubles. Nevertheless to save that his relam was still unware about their new queen.Vincent replied shaking his head unknowingly," I don't know, Milord. I have closed all the way of leaking this news. There is only one possiblity left tha
Lucien entered into the scene right after the car had taken her away. Stepping out of the car,he could hear his mate bond getting weakened for no reason. His scornful eyes swiped across the surrounding but there was no proximity of Isabella nearby. His wolf spatted inside his mind.Mate. Help. Danger! His jaw clenched in anger when Vincent searched around and learnt the news that Isabella had came out of the lesson very first. She should be waiting for him outside of University but she was gone from there.Tensed contoured his face not long after. Seeking for her location one more time, Lucien reconfirmed that she had gone missing. His biggest fear had finally come true.Ikaya stood away from them with a tight frown. She hated to see that Lucien was all worried for that human girl. Her jaw clenched but she had nothing to do rather than tolerating.Vincent looked up at his lord worryingly. His expression was stormy as if he was so ready to kill someone. Taking a deep breath to stable
