Alpha Zedex Lan's eyes filled with concern. "Brother, what's that bulge?" His voice trembled. I hastily left Grandpa's chamber without hesitation as a fierce sensation coursed through my body and veins, threatening to tear me apart. It was becoming unbearable. As I made my way to my chamber, I frantically tore off my shirt, thankfully unseen by any pack member. Otherwise, they would have assumed I had lost my mind, as my body was drenched in sweat and my carefully styled black gel hair was now disheveled and sticking to my face. The pain became increasingly difficult to bear, so I picked up my pace, struggling to run due to the large bulge between my legs. Zov, my inner wolf, was not making it easy for me, as he continued to struggle to break free, and I began to feel vulnerable to his strength. Without hesitation, I transformed into a large black wolf and quickly made my way to my chamber. I entered my room quickly, saliva dripping from my lolling tongue. Mogan was pacing around
Camila "Go on, scream! Don't you want to give it a try?" He snarled like a beast, his eyes burning with lust as they roamed over my body. I shook my head, "Stay back." My heart racing, I prayed for help from any source. I regretted selling the ring, wishing I had left it at the hotel and avoided this trouble. In a sudden movement, I found myself on the cold floor, my back against it. My eyes widened, wondering how it happened so quickly with the lock on my cage. “You belonged to me now!" He snarled like a savage beast, his eyes blazing as he grabbed my leg. "Once I'm finished with you, I will offer you to my guards." His menacing words caused tears to stream down my face as I attempted to push him away, but he kept a tight grip on me. I fought with all my strength against his hold. I immediately acted on my instincts and grabbed his arms, putting them in my mouth and giving him a painful bite. "Let go of me, you bitch!" He groaned in pain, hitting my head to try to push me awa
Camila I turned to face them and stared at their faces suspiciously. Despite their seemingly safe appearance, I remained cautious. "Who are you people?" I asked, observing as they exchanged glances. The older woman among them stepped forward and gave me a smile. "You can call me Madam Gabby. I'm the head of all the maids in the pack," she introduced herself gently. "Get into the bathtub," she instructed the girls. "I’m Dixie, let me help you with your clothes," one of the girls with black locked hair adorned with flower patterns said and tried to approach me. However, I moved, wrapping my arms around my body, as I stared at her with furrowed eyebrows. Madam Gabby stepped forward, "Dixie, take it easy with her." She scolded the maid girl. "Im sorry, Madam Gabby," Dixie quickly apologized, bowing to Mrs. Gabby and me. Madam Gabby turned to me with an assuring smile, "She will be gentle with you." She smiled again. I felt safe because of her words. I turned to Dixie, raised my ga
Camila His eyebrows shot up in surprise, as if he hadn't been the one to summon me. In an instant, he replaced his expression with a cold, menacing glare that penetrated my very being. A wave of hot liquid spread down my thigh, causing me to instinctively clutch my legs together. The humiliating realization dawned on me - I had lost control of my bladder. He stalked towards me, his movement menacing like a predator closing in on its prey. Before I could react, his hand firmly gripped my neck, his sharp nails digging into my flesh, raising my head to meet his intense gaze. Blood trickled from the wounds he inflicted as he choked me. "Do my face disgust you?!" he bellowed in anger. I quickly shook my head, but he tightened his grip further. "How dare you?!" "Let me go..." I struggled to speak, my hands hitting his strong hand. I was suffocated, sensing my life slipping away with each passing second. His angry gaze was intense, radiating heat. His eyes filled with rage and hat
Alpha Zedex "Come in!" My voice came out in a gravelly ramble from the excessive howling all through the night. I stood naked with my hands clasped behind my back, my brows furrowed as I tried to understand Mogan's words. Mogan briefly pulsed, "But..." He trailed off, not wanting to interrupt anything happening in my chamber. I could see him now, scratching the back of his head in confusion. "Now!" My voice was loud and commanding. In an instant, he rushed in and quickly knelt down, keeping his eyes fixed on the ground. “Max is instigating rebellion; he was supported by Troy, Full Mountain pack’s Alpha,” he reported again. I chuckled, my lips curling into a smirk. ‘Max never learns,’ I said, shaking my head and letting out a dry laugh. He looked up at me, puzzled by my laughter in such a serious situation involving Troy. Mogan hesitated, his eyes darting around the floor, "The commotion in the meeting chamber was..." "Mogan, go to bed," I interrupted, turning to
Alpha Zedex I turned away from the elder councils, anger simmering within, as their betrayal stung; they had sided with Troy my sworn enemy, to remove me from the throne. It was frustrating that they would align with someone who has always opposed Vermillion's rule and been against us for years. And now he was manipulating Max. I could almost imagine the shock on Max’s when he realized, Troy’s true intentions. I need to go see Grandpa and talk to him about what Max did. ‘I hope he doesn't dwell on the situation too much, especially since the pack physician warned against it.’ I thought and sighed. My shoulders drooped as I made my way through the castle hallway, each step heavy with weariness and doubts. I could only hope that everything would turn out okay. Finally, I stopped in front of Grandpa's chamber. Taking a deep breath, I exhaled slowly, steadied my chest, and pushed the door open. “Zedex, what commotions is going on? I couldn’t sleep all through the night.” Grandp
Camila I fluttered my eyes open and let out a loud yawn, raising my palms to cover my mouth, only to notice I couldn’t move them. They were heavy and sore. ‘Where was I?’ My gaze wandered around the unfamiliar room, surrounded by plain creamy-pitch-colored walls. A severe headache hit me suddenly, and I gently massaged my head, trying to relieve the throbbing pain while memories of the previous night came flooding back: desperate to escape, surrounded by wild wolves, rescued by an elderly woman, and…Alpha Zedex’s fierce sex. ‘His scar was horrible. What happened to his face?’ Strangely, my cheeks flushed, warmth spreading across my face like a burning fire. I quickly raised my hand to touch my face. ‘Wait, I'm blushing? Why the heck am I blushing?’ I slightly hit my forehead, scolding myself mentally. Suddenly, I began hearing whispers behind the closed door; it sounded like someone was arguing outside. “She’s awake?” “Of course, she looks stronger than most of us.” “
Camila My jaw dropped, and my eyes widened in shock as everything sank in. Werewolves! I was surrounded by werewolves, and I had even slept with the master of them all, not once but twice. ‘Gosh, I'm screwed!’ I thought, my mind reeling as I tried to process everything. A mix of confusion, fear, and disbelief overwhelmed me. How could this be happening? ‘How is this possible?’ I blinked rapidly, still trying to process the situation. Tyla then came and stood in front of me, giving me a gentle tap on the shoulder. "It's time for a bath," she said. I turned to her, alert etched on my face. "You're an animal too? Like a wild wolf?" I stammered, my voice quivering as I pointed my trembling fingers at her. Tyla’s eyes narrowed. "Did you just call me an animal?" she asked, raising her hand and pointing at herself. "Yes!" I shouted, tears welling up in the corners of my eyes. "You're all heartless and cruel animals. That's why you slaughtered the prisoners in cold blood." Tears
Camila POV My eyelashes fluttered open as my gaze landed on the ceiling. The faint scent of Zedex’s sandalwood cologne lingered in the air, grounding me in his space. It was familiar, and I slowly raised my upper body to sit upright on the bed. My eyes wandered around the room, and I instantly recognized Zedex’s chambers. I stretched my arms and twisted slightly, surprised to feel no pain in my body or joints—not even a headache. The usual ache in my ribs from past beatings was gone, replaced by an unnatural vigor. I felt renewed and strong as if energized from within. ‘When did we return to the Vermillion Pack?’ My thoughts raced, scrambling to recall what had happened. In a flash, memories flooded my mind: Max and Troy harassing me, Zedex intervening by severing their hands. Their snarls echoed in my skull, followed by the metallic tang of blood. My face fell with sadness. The rivalry between the brothers showed no sign of ending, and it pained me to know it was all because o
Alpha Zedex.I turned around and walked further into my room, sitting at my dining table. I then untied my mask from my face, showing my scar, before pouring myself a cup of tea. After some time, Mogan didn’t hear a word from me, which made him lift his head. At that moment, I turned and our eyes met. I waved my hand, inviting him to come closer. “Come, sit,” I said softly, sipping my tea. The warmth of the drink going down my throat couldn’t compare to the sorrow in my heart. Mogan stood up and walked over to me, sitting across from where I sat. I picked up the small kettle and poured tea into both of our cups. “Zedex…” he hesitated, studying my face as I looked at him calmly. He expected me to be upset for him using my name, but my steady gaze encouraged him to continue. “I know Grandpa took it out on you,” he said quietly, understanding my pain. I would say Mogan is the only one who truly gets me. He sees right through my attempts to hide my feelings. He has witnessed me at my
Alpha Zedex.The intense pain on my bare chin made me look at him, feeling as if I had been punched in the stomach. The hurt glimmered in my eyes, making them shiny with tears. The shock and pain from Grandpa’s slap crashed over me like a wave, and my mouth fell open because I couldn’t understand why he was defending Max, even though he had planned to hurt me. “Grandpa!” I shouted, my voice trembling. The anger and frustration I held back spilled out like a dam breaking. Tears welled in my eyes, and I felt my face flush with rage. I balled my hands into fists to keep my emotions in check. “Enough, Zedex!” he responded, his eyes filled with disappointment and sadness as he looked into mine. “Why did you hurt your brother?” His expression suddenly softened, and he began to cry. “Hmph!” I scoffed, unable to stop a hurtful laugh from escaping as I stood up from the floor. I wasn't surprised by what he said; it was always the first question he asked whenever Max and I fought. But what
Alpha Zedex Lan kept a steady smile on his face, but his clenched fist revealed his inner turmoil. The sadness in his eyes was unmistakable, though he did his best to hide his sorrow. “Just tell me, did you see Max? How is he?” Lan pressed again, his eyes shimmering with unshed tears. No matter what had transpired, as I mentioned earlier, family ties run deep, but betrayal leaves wounds that no relationship can mend. I turned to Grandpa, who stepped closer, his intense gaze fixed on me. I could tell he was anxious—eager for any news about his grandson. There was no escaping this moment; it would come out eventually. Mogan noticed the tension between us and moved forward. The sound of his boots echoed in the quiet hall as he clasped his hands behind his back and began to pace slowly, drawing everyone’s attention. “The Full Mountain Pack deceived us,” he declared loudly. “It was all a lie. There was no human attack. There were no killings. Alpha Troy and Max lured our Alpha there t
Alpha ZedexAmore pulled his finger away from her pulse and let out a sharp breath, rubbing his temple. "If I'm right, I've only heard of one bloodline like this—the—" "I forbid you, Amore," I interrupted, my eyes darkening. This was a forbidden topic because the name was a curse. It was part of old horror stories that scare pops and young wolves. The Oswaldo Howlers had vanished long before my father was born; they were eliminated during the blood purge due to their terrifying abilities. They were the most powerful with the strongest gifts, which made them seen as evil. If Camila had even a trace of their cursed bloodline… “Give her more poison.” My voice was dangerously calm as I moved closer to get a better look. Amore was taken aback by my command, his body tensing. “B-but Alpha, the poison didn’t—” “Then use silver.” I interrupted sharply. At this point, I needed proof, and I was willing to go to any lengths. Amore’s fingers trembled slightly as he took a deep breath. “Alph
Alpha Zedex"Alpha Zedex!" Beta Mogan's voice cut through the air.I couldn't respond because my mouth was still locked with Camila's. Mogan, being the sharp-minded wolf, dismounted from his horse and approached our carriage."Shit! He can't see me like this," my mind pounded. Immediately, I struck the pressure point on her neck with my hand. Her body went limp as she weakly released me and collapsed, her back hitting against the wooden carriage bed.At that instant, I pulled away, and Mogan yanked open my carriage curtain, his eyes darting inside. Mogan's gaze swayed from Camila's unconscious body form back to me. His lips curved into a small smirk, but his expression hardened immediately and he cleared his throat, blinking away."Alpha, we're about to cross the bridge," he informed, and I gave a sharp nod and flicked my wrist, dismissing him.With a knowing grin, he let the curtain fall closed. But before the curtain fell, I caught the faintest curve of his smile. I knew he must be
Alpha ZedexThe other carriage was taken away while Mogan and the rest of the guards hopped on their horses and began riding away.After a long-distance ride, I opened the animal skin curtain and stared outside. It was still early hours, as everywhere was dark, and the chilly breeze blew up leaves from the ground. Mogan kept hitting the horse to hasten up without delay.I closed the curtain and sat upright facing her, yet my mind was clouded with the events that happened back at Full Mountain Palace Hall. The way I brutally hurt them kept replaying fresh in my head, followed by the image of Grandpa and Lan.'How do I explain this to them?' My mind reeled. ‘Grandpa and Lan, how would they react to knowing about Max losing his hand? I just hope Grandpa's health doesn't worsen and Lan doesn't hate me for what I did to his brother because, above all, blood is thicker than water.’“Save me. Don't leave me, please,” A faint, barely audible whisper snapped me out of my thoughts, as my gaze t
Alpha ZedexThe woman ran out and bowed before me with her head glued to the ground. “My Alpha Zedex, human hunters indeed attacked the pack, however, most of their men died the moment they stepped into the mountain because of the heavy Miasma. That way, they never had the chance to attack us and quickly retreated.” She disclosed what actually happened.Sally sprang to his feet and ran to the woman, standing by her side. “There was no bloodshed, no kidnapping?“ He asked, refusing to believe Troy would dare lie to me.Another man rushed forward and bowed, “Alpha Zedex, Sarah was telling the truth. Indeed, the human hunters came to attack, but they never succeeded, so they quickly retreated.” The man supported the woman’s words.My shoulder lightly slumped in disappointment as I gazed at Max. I wondered what he saw in Troy that made him align with him. When it came to age, Troy was far older than him with almost seventeen years gap, and also more experienced. I wondered what he was gain
Alpha ZedexShe fell into my arms, and I held onto her tightly. Stupid Zov was grinning from ear to ear after brutally chopping off the hands that had harassed his mate. All the while, when Max and Troy were taunting her and making fun of her vulnerability, I decided not to interfere because I was enjoying how far they were pushing her to her limit.Zov couldn't bear the sight of his mate in trouble because he sensed her fear and pain. However, I had to push him to the back of my mind. I couldn't let his affection for his mate ruin my sense of reasoning just because he wanted to protect her, while I wanted to see her suffer and see how much she could endure.As she lay in my arms, it felt like time had stopped moving. Zov slipped out of his cage and took control over me, the urge to protect and hurt whoever caused her pain overwhelming me.My arms wrapped protectively around her as my gaze remained fixed on her face. ‘Our mate is such a beauty,’ Zov whispered in my head, grinning even
