--Alyssa--

The Alpha King stood there shirtless, his chiseled muscles glistening under the soft glow of the room’s lighting. I stood just a few feet away, clutching my towel tightly, desperately trying to maintain some semblance of modesty. His gaze roamed over my body, making me feel exposed and vulnerable.

“What are you doing here?” I asked, my voice trembling with a mix of fear and uncertainty. My heart pounded in my chest, and a cold dread settled over me. The thought flashed through my mind that he might be here to take away my virginity, and I felt a wave of panic.

He took a step closer, and I instinctively took a step back, my hands gripping the towel even tighter. “This is my room as well,” he said in a low voice, the warmth of his breath brushing against my neck and sending an involuntary shiver down my spine. The proximity of his body and the intensity of his presence were overwhelming.

I continued to back away until I hit the wall. Trapped, I could only watch as he moved pa

    --Alyssa--I woke up on the sofa, my back aching from the uncomfortable position. I glanced at the bed, scanning for any sign of the ruthless man. All he could have done was to find another room for himself or stay out of sight. The room was empty. To be sure, I sniffed the air; his scent was absent.Feeling a wave of relief, I stood up happily. Almost immediately, there was a knock on the door."Come in," I called out, already recognizing Lily’s scent from the other side.She entered and bowed slightly. "Luna, are you ready to take your bath?" she asked, waiting patiently for my response. The formalities and the title felt so foreign to me, still something I was getting used to."Yes," I replied, partly because I wanted to explore and find a way to execute my escape plan as soon as possible. Not everyone knew my face, so walking past the guards without being noticed seemed feasible.Lily led me to the bathroom, and I followed. "I will prepare the Jacuzzi for you," she said, opening a

    --Alysaa--Lily and I had a chat because I was feeling bored and lonely at the same time. I knew it was time for breakfast, but I didn't want to go. However, she mentioned that the others were slow eaters, so anytime I went there, I would definitely see someone eating.As we talked, Lily shared more about herself. She explained that she was chosen from a young age to be in charge of taking care of the Luna. She said she had studied a lot: hairstyling, makeup, learning how to fight, using a gun, and other skills that surprised me. I felt a pang of pity for her because her childhood had been deprived of normalcy. But she saw it as a good thing, noting that her family could live comfortably because of the benefits that came with her role.“Let’s go,” she said, closing the door behind me as we left the room."Can I just eat in the kitchen?" I asked, hoping she would agree. It wasn't that I disliked the others; I just didn't want to talk to anyone. Being around them wouldn't alleviate my l

    --Alyssa--Xavier never looked at me once. The only time he did was when I entered the dining room, and his expression was one of clear displeasure. His eyes flashed with anger, though I couldn't fathom why. I felt a knot tighten in my stomach, wondering what I had done to provoke such a reaction.“Hey, you sit there and I’ll sit here,” said a girl who looked about my age. She slipped into the seat beside me with a casual ease that put me slightly at ease.“Hi, I’m Meredith. I didn’t get the chance to meet you yesterday because I had class,” she explained, her tone bright and friendly. Her presence was a welcome distraction from the tension radiating from Xavier.“I guess you are the famous mate of my cousin,” she said, extending a hand in a gesture of friendship. I shook her hand, grateful for the small connection in this otherwise isolating environment.“Yes, that’s me,” I replied, managing a smile. Meredith’s friendliness was a stark contrast to the coldness I felt from Xavier.“I

    --Alyssa--“And why were you with Christopher in just a swimsuit?” he asked, his tone laced with irritation. I felt the familiar pang of annoyance rise within me.“I was not standing in front of him just in a swimsuit. I had a towel wrapped around me,” I responded, my voice defensive as I tried to explain myself. His expression, however, only grew more severe, his features tightening with anger.“I do not want you standing practically naked in front of any male. Have you heard that?” His words were clipped, each one dripping with possessiveness. “Then why don’t you go and question him about why he entered when he saw that I was there?” I shot back, refusing to let him pin the blame on me. My frustration boiled over. It wasn’t my fault that Christopher had walked in; I was already at the pool when he came in unannounced. I had never invited him to join me.“Okay, so why are you not wearing the dresses that I bought?” he demanded, his voice rising with each word. He stood there, hands

    --Alyssa--Lily’s revelation about Xavier adopting Zeus left me stunned. The image of the fearsome Alpha, whom I had seen as nothing more than domineering and aloof, crumbled before me. He had brought Zeus home, arranged for a nanny, and set up a nursery—all signs of genuine care and responsibility that contradicted the ruthless reputation he supposedly carried.“Are you sure?” I asked, though even as the words left my mouth, I knew it was a foolish question. The evidence was clear from how Xavier interacted with Zeus—the tenderness, the affection, the way the child responded to him.“Yes, he’s not like everyone says,” Lily replied calmly, meeting my gaze with unwavering sincerity.“Is Xavier ruthless like everyone says?” I found myself blurting out the question that had plagued my thoughts since I arrived at the Bloodmoon Pack.“No, those are just stories people like to spread,” Lily explained, her voice gentle but firm. I couldn’t help but feel shocked by her words.“Then why hasn’t

    –Xavier pov–“Sleep comfortably,” I said to the people I had just finished a meeting with. The exhaustion was palpable, and all I wanted was to collapse into my bed. As I made my way down the hall, I thought of Aurelia and worried she might be sleeping on the sofa again. If that were the case, I would carry her to the bed, even if it meant doing so by force. She was too precious to be left uncomfortable.Aurelia’s childish stubbornness often frustrated me, but I knew it was a defense mechanism born of fear. She had been through so much, and I had inadvertently added to her burdens. My heart ached every time she recoiled from me, avoiding my touch and refusing to speak. It pained me that she wouldn’t even wear the dresses I bought for her, dresses I had chosen with such care, hoping to see her smile.For a decade, I had searched for my mate, and now that I had found her, she seemed uninterested in me. How were mates supposed to feel towards each other? Could she not sense the bond? Or

    --Alyssa--“Meredith was here,” she said to me as she gently towel-dried my wet hair.“Yes, I heard her when she came in. Do you think she’s angry with me?” I asked, concerned.“No, she looked like she’d been crying. I think she came to apologize for not taking care of you properly,” she responded, though I wasn’t fully convinced.“What if she’s angry with me because I caused her trouble?”“I’m not sure. She seemed more remorseful than anything,” she said, combing through my hair with delicate care.“Who really is Meredith?” I asked, my curiosity piqued. She seemed wild, the type that always wanted to party her nights away.“She’s Xavier’s cousin,” she replied, still working on my hair.“She’s feisty and loves to party. She’s frequently on house arrest,” she explained, a hint of exasperation in her voice. “So, this isn’t the first time she’s been on house arrest?” I asked, shocked by this revelation.“No, this is probably the hundredth time,” she replied with a sigh.Wow, Meredith wa

    --Alyssa-I walked over to the only vacant seat, which happened to be near the Alpha King’s chair. The silence in the room was almost deafening, and it made me acutely aware of the multitude of eyes on me. I couldn’t help but wonder what they thought about me. Did they see me as bad? What were they thinking? Even the children were staring at me, their innocent eyes wide with curiosity.I sat down and greeted everyone politely, my voice barely more than a whisper.“Oh dear, it must have been so hard. I’m sure you’re going through a nervous breakdown,” a woman seated beside me said sympathetically, her eyes filled with concern.“What if you had been raped?” another woman interjected, tears welling up in her eyes.“Are you doing fine now?” yet another asked. They didn’t even wait for me to answer their questions; they just kept bombarding me with their worries and concerns.Their reactions made it clear they were feeling pity for me because I had almost been raped, not because I had trie

    --Alyssa--Meridith couldn’t stop smiling as she leaned closer to get a better look at the twins nestled in my arms. “Pups? They are so cute and look just like Xavier,” she cooed, her eyes sparkling with affection.Xavier, however, was lost in thought, his gaze fixed on our babies with an intensity that made me chuckle. He seemed entirely absorbed, as if the world outside didn’t exist. Seeing him so captivated by the sight of our children softened my heart, but I couldn’t shake the nagging guilt that lingered beneath the surface.Everyone in the room seemed unbothered by the events outside, as if the weight of what was happening hadn’t reached them. They were caught up in the joy of the moment, admiring the twins, and it made me feel strangely out of place. I was here, surrounded by warmth and family, while others were grieving just beyond the palace walls. The contrast was hard to ignore, and I knew I had to act soon.“Can we break the curse now?” I asked, my voice cutting through th

    “Xavier!” Meridith called out to me, her voice cutting through the quiet murmur of the room. “When is Alyssa coming?” she asked, making everyone turn their attention toward me, waiting expectantly for an answer.“Soon,” I replied, though their faces showed clear disappointment. I knew they missed her, and so did I, but for her safety, I couldn’t do anything reckless. The weight of their expectation hung in the air, but my priority was always her protection.But something gnawed at me. Why would Nathaniel—who always kept me informed of his whereabouts—suddenly go off on an errand without telling me? It wasn’t like him. He always let me know where he was, and this sudden disappearance made me unease.Aurelia’s POVThere was a knock on the door, causing all of us to freeze. Nobody ever knocked on our door, not unexpectedly like this."Did Xavier tell you he was coming?" Mom asked, her eyes filled with concern. I shook my head, feeling a pit form in my stomach. We were supposed to leave

    I could hardly believe what was happening. Most of the Alphas had been killed—just in one night—which sent panic rippling throughout the Kingdom. This was not how I envisioned welcoming my mate and pups home. The atmosphere was thick with tension and fear; I knew that those who had plotted against Alyssa and my innocent children were receiving their just desserts.“Have you heard? The Alpha of St. Lucas was reported dead just now,” Nathaniel said, his expression grave. My heart sank as the weight of his words settled in. This was more serious than we had initially thought.“So what are their families doing about it?” I asked, my voice strained with uncertainty. I was in no position to intervene after everything they had done to me.“They are calling for your help,” he replied, a hint of mischief playing on his lips.“Now they want my help when just a few days ago they wanted to kill me?” I laughed, incredulous at their desperation. This was surely the work of the Moon Goddess, a twist

    I strode straight into my room, Nathaniel still at my heels, his excitement palpable. I approached my phone, heart racing as I prepared to dial the number I had yearned to call every night and day.Taking a deep breath, I punched in the digits, my fingers trembling slightly with anticipation.“Hello?” I heard my mate’s voice on the other end, and a wave of relief washed over me.“Alyssa,” I breathed, the sound of her name sending a rush of warmth through my veins. “It’s me.”There was a moment of silence before she responded, her tone a mixture of surprise and joy. “Xavier! I can’t believe it’s really you!”Hearing her voice brought back the memories of our moments together—the laughter, the love, the dreams we shared for our future. I closed my eyes, allowing the sound of her voice to wash over me like a soothing balm.“I’ve missed you every day,” I confessed, my heart aching with longing. “I finally stood up to the council. They tried to break me, but they can’t control what I’ve bu

    I entered the room, and the atmosphere shifted. As usual, all the Alphas were present, their expressions a mix of curiosity and disdain. I didn’t bother to greet them; instead, I took my seat with an air of defiance, determined to remain unyielding in the face of their scrutiny.“Xavier Black of the Blood Moon Pack, do you swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth?” Elder Simon asked, his voice authoritative yet tinged with a hint of amusement. I knew he had always been fond of me, and it seemed that sentiment hadn’t waned, even in the face of this farce.“I swear to tell nothing but the truth,” I replied, my tone steady.Before Elder Simon could continue, Elder Samuel shot up from his seat, interrupting the proceedings. I rolled my eyes in exasperation; he always seemed to have a knack for stealing the spotlight from Simon, making it difficult for the process to flow smoothly.“Do you still not know the whereabouts of your mate?” he inquired, his tone sharp.“I passed the tes

    --XAVIER POV--It had been two whole months since Aurelia left, and every single day, I felt the urge to break own, to cry, but I knew I couldn’t afford to lose my composure. I had to stay strong, to remain calm if I was going to survive this manipulative game the Alphas were playing. Aurelia had slipped away quietly before anyone noticed. By the time the council arrived, she was already gone, leaving me to face their barrage of questions. I was questioned endlessly, but thanks to the bond with my wolf, I was able to lie convincingly.They didn’t believe me—why would they? But they had no proof, and more importantly, no right to treat me like a prisoner. I had played my part well, and it baffled me how foolish they were to think I would simply tell them the truth. The bond with one’s wolf was sacred in the werewolf realm, and by the decree of the Moongoddess, a wolf could never lie. But mine did. Somehow, I managed to deceive them, and it worked.I couldn’t help but wonder if the Moo

    Tears blurred my vision as I glanced at Mom, who stood beside me, her own eyes filled with emotion. She had been so strong throughout it all, but now, seeing her grandchild, her tears flowed freely. Grandma was nearby too, her hands clasped together, a proud smile lighting up her face. The room was filled with so much love, so much joy.But just as I began to think it was over, a sudden, sharp pain shot through me, taking my breath away. I gasped, my body tensing as fear gripped me once more. “Something’s wrong!” I cried out, panic creeping into my voice.The midwife, who had been carefully watching over me, quickly moved to check. Her expression remained calm, and after a moment, she looked up at me with a reassuring smile. “No, Alyssa, nothing’s wrong. You’re having another baby.”Another baby. The words took a moment to register in my exhausted mind. Another baby? My heart raced as the realization dawned on me. Twins. I was having twins.The pain came back in waves, and I gripped t

    It had been an entire month since I last heard from Xavier, and the worry gnawed at me constantly. Every day, I cried myself to sleep, the emptiness in my heart growing with each passing hour. I couldn’t help but think about him, about where he was and what he might be going through. But there was one thing that kept me going—the certainty that he was still alive. If he weren’t, I would have felt it deep inside me. That was the one thing mates shared, a connection that transcended distance and time. It was that bond that reassured me, even in the darkest moments, that Xavier was out there somewhere, fighting to return to us.Yet, despite that fragile hope, I was falling apart. In Grandma and Mom’s words, I looked terrible. My skin had paled, and the bags under my eyes were dark and heavy from countless sleepless nights. My clothes barely fit, and I’d stopped caring about my appearance long ago. The weight of uncertainty was crushing.As much as I tried to stay positive, the constant

    --Alyssa--We were watching a movie, a popular request from Grandma, but my mind kept wandering back to Mom and what could have possibly happened. I couldn't shake the worry that gnawed at the edges of my thoughts, despite trying to focus on the screen in front of me. Something didn’t feel right, and I could tell that both Grandma and I were distracted.“There’s a knock, Grandma,” I said softly, even though it had been faint. My ears had picked it up nonetheless. Grandma didn't seem to notice at first, but then came another knock, louder this time, clear enough to be undeniable.“I’ll check it,” she said, motioning for me to stay seated. She rose slowly from her chair and made her way to the door, her steps deliberate, as if she, too, felt a shift in the air.A moment later, I heard her say, “Elizabeth.”The sound of that name startled me to my feet before my brain could even register what was happening.
