The demon in him is evil and with time, he will be consumed entirely but he promised to get rid of himself before that happens. Alex Heartman is the most cold-hearted Alpha king in the entire wolf Kingdom despite the fact that he treats his wolf pack with fairness and justice. He prefers to use his brain rather than his emotions but when he gets trapped in an arranged marriage with the most unusual person he has ever met, he starts having doubts about his entire lifestyle. She is innocent and carefree, and cannot even think of hurting a fly. The arranged marriage was just to make the two packs allies and join hands in solving the mysterious case but as time goes on, she begins to feel like he means much more to her. Breaking through Alex’s concrete wall is not going to be easy, but Mia wants to make him human again… Will it be possible?

Alex pulled off his shirt and dropped to the floor with his palms propping his chest up. His muscles rippled as he did his early morning push-ups, a routine he had grown accustomed to since he turned twelve.'Fifty-five, fifty-six!" His wolf, Max, counted in his head as he effortlessly pushed himself up and down.Just when he reached sixty-nine, there was a knock on the door and he paused, jumping to his feet."You may come in." His deep voice reverberated throughout the navy blue walls of his room.The doorknob twisted and his royal maid stepped into his room. Alex noticed her cheeks turning crimson as her eyes traveled down his chest."Oh!" She squealed, widening her brown eyes and quickly shielding her eyes with her palm. "I'm sorry, my lord. I didn't mean to-""It's fine, what brings you to my chambers?" He inquired, maintaining a straight face."It's time for breakfast, your highness." She replied, still pressing her hand to her eyes."Will be there in a minute." He crisped and she gave a curt bow, quickly exiting his room.Alex trudged into the bathroom. He stayed under the water faucet for ten minutes before striding out and dressing up for the day.Taking a last glance at his reflection, he blinked once and took in his warm green eyes, which had clouds of emptiness floating in them. He sighed, combing his blond hair back.He strode out of his room and locked gazes with his mother who was sitting beside his father."Ah, there you are," His mother said, seeming irritated by his tardiness when her green eyes took him in."Hi, mom." Alex greeted dryly with a blank expression and then averted his eyes to his dad. "Hello, father.""What took you so long to arrive?" His father asked with a crease on his forehead."Morning routine," Alex said, taking a seat opposite his mother and patiently waiting for the royal maid to serve his dish.His father's plate was already filled with roasted lamb and potatoes, and so was his mother's plate. They were going to begin breakfast without him but he didn't care, he was used to it."We have something very important to discuss with you but that'll be when you're done eating." The alpha, Heartman explained, helping himself to a piece of roasted lamb.Alex shrugged, picking up his fork and stabbing a lamb, carefully shoving it into his mouth. He chewed slowly, shuffling his gaze between his mother and father.The alpha leaned closer to the Luna and whispered into her ear. Her cheeks turned crimson and a shy smile tugged her lips. She glanced at Alex and he averted his gaze to the cup, which the royal maid was filling with water.'What do you think dad wants to say this time?' Max, Alex's wolf asked.'I have no idea.' Alex responded in his head, chewing some of his potatoes.'Were you caught plowing someone's daughter?' Max asked in a bid to tease Alex.'We both know I'm not promiscuous.' Alex responded.'You should, maybe we could have some real fun instead of-''Im not interested." Alex snapped and Max tsked, recoiling and keeping his mouth shut.Alex felt his ears twitching when he heard his mother chuckling, seeming as if his father had whispered something flattering into her ears."Oh, you!" She beamed.The jug slipped off the maid's hand and landed on Alex's thighs. He jerked to his feet, feeling the cold liquid soaking his jeans."What is your problem?!" The queen exclaimed, staring daggers at the royal maid."I'm so-so sorry my queen, I didn't mean to do that." The maid's voice shook as she apologized, staring at the floor the entire time.Alex felt bile rising in his throat but he swallowed it. He could hear how violently the maid's heart pounded against her chest in fear."You-"The Luna wanted to speak again but Alex interrupted, taking his seat and picking up his fork. "It's fine, mother." He looked at the trembling maid. "You may leave.""Thank you." The maid hastened her steps out of the warm dining, which was simply decorated with only a flower vase filled with pansies on the large dining table."You're lenient-"Alex sighed, interrupting his mother's long lecture about why he shouldn't have let her leave without being punished."I'm not too lenient, mother... I like to be fair and that's it." He pointed out, helping himself to a glass of orange juice.They sit in silence and only the sound of their cutleries hitting the plates could be heard."Well," the alpha cleared his throat, setting his cutleries down and steepling his fingers. "Alex, I'm going to make you the next Alpha, while your mother..."The king drawled and Alex gazed at them, watching as his father took the Luna's hand in his and planted a short kiss on it."... And I go for a tour around the world." The alpha announced."Oh." Alex let out, staring blankly at the duo who he always found their uncanny resemblance weird.'I heard sex is the reason couples look alike.' Max chipped in but Alex ignored his wolf."Aren't you excited?" His mother's thin voice rang."Well-" Alex didn't get to finish his sentence because his father interrupted."Yeah, we know you are." The king wiggled his brows at the queen."Stop!" The Luna chuckled, jerking in her seat.Alex sensed his parents were playing tag under the table."You know I love you, right? How about we finish what we started this morning?" His father voiced, rubbing his nose against that of his mother.Alex averted his gaze to his plate with a blink as he felt sick in the gut at their display. He continued eating his food, not showing any signs of emotions.*****Alex peeled off his clothes, not bothered about what his father said, perhaps, he didn't mean what he said, and even if he did, Alex was used to leading the affairs of the kingdom and doing things on his own ever since he defeated his three masters at the same time at a young age.He walked into the lake he always swam in whenever he wanted to meditate, while Hendrix, his personal assistant sat on a stone."Father wants to make me alpha," Alex announced, immersing himself in the water."The moon goddess! That's great news!" Hendrix beamed.Alex didn't feel excited, he was rather numb and unaware of how to react."Aren't you excited?" Hendrix asked."No-" Alex paused and the hairs on his nape were propelled in the air when he heard a soft and distant giggle. "Did you hear that?""Hear what?"The sun set over the vast forest as Mia and her loyal pack made their way through the dense forest. The air was thick with anticipation as they neared their destination - the territory of the Silver Moon Pack.Today was a momentous day - the day the two packs would be reunited. As the sole heir to her pack, Mia had taken on the responsibility of bringing both packs together, forging a stronger and more harmonious alliance.It had been a long journey, but Mia knew that this meeting was the beginning of a new chapter in her life and that of her pack.As they approached the borders of the Silver Moon Pack's territory, Mia stood to address her pack.Mia's heart swelled with pride as she surveyed her pack, eager for this new chapter in their lives. The challenges they had faced seemed insignificant now, their differences mere stepping stones towards a common goal. She caught the eye of some leaders, the Diamond Shadow pack's wise and noble elders and advisors; they stood there with everyon
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm golden glow over the tranquil garden, Alex and Mia found themselves seated on a rustic wooden bench, their fingers intertwined. It was a moment of quietude, a sanctuary of their own amidst the chaos of their lives. The fragrant aroma of blooming flowers and the soothing melody of birdsong filled the air, creating a backdrop that seemed tailor-made for a profound conversation.Mia gazed at Alex with a mix of anticipation and vulnerability. She had spent countless nights rehearsing the words she would utter, trying to capture the essence of her emotions. Now, with her heart pounding in her chest, she took a deep breath and mustered the courage to speak her truth, but before she could say anything, Alex took the lead."Mia," he began, his voice barely above a whisper. "I've been reflecting on our journey together, on the pact that once bound us and the love that has blossomed between us. I've come to realize that our marriage shouldn't
The next morning, the sun's warm rays filtered through the curtains of Alex's bedroom, gently coaxing him awake. As he slowly emerged from his slumber, he couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation tingling in the air. He turned and gave the still-sleeping Mia a peck on the head and a soft kiss on her lips.As he rose from his bed and began his morning routine, Alex couldn't shake off the thought of his mother's message. "She sent for me," he murmured to himself. Alex's mother had sent for him, a simple message delivered by a nurse who had become a familiar face during his past visits when Heartman was there.A mix of curiosity and trepidation brewed within him. Although he had never been close to his mother, the fact that she had reached out to him felt significant.With a mix of apprehension and hope, Alex made his way down the hallway towards his mother's room. As he neared the door, he paused, taking a deep breath to steady himself. He wasn't sure what to expect or how this en
Alex's heart pounded as he carried Mia's unconscious body through the dense forest, making his way back to the Crystal Moon pack. His mind raced with worry and desperation, knowing that her life hung in the balance. Every step he took, every breath he drew, was filled with determination to bring her back safely.Finally, the familiar sight of the pack's territory emerged from the trees. He sprinted towards the Alpha's den, his muscles burning with exertion, but his resolve unyielding. Bursting through the entrance, he was immediately met with concerned and relieved faces.The pack's healer and nurses rushed forward to tend to their Alpha as she took in Mia's motionless form. "What happened?" she asked urgently.Alex's voice cracked with emotion. "The most important thing I want now is for her to be taken to my room; you have to help and treat her there."The pack healer motioned for the others to clear a space, and together they gently laid Mia on a nearby bed. The healer's hands move
Mia, Heartman, and the sorcerer left Natalie behind at the sorcerer's place because she was already injured during the clash.Mia and Heartman ran towards the building where the final sacrifice would be made, and the sorcerer stayed behind to distract Alex while they destroyed the altar and exorcised the demon.Standing before the main room where the altar was set up, Mia and Heartman felt their hearts pounding with a mixture of anticipation and fear. They had finally located the place where the demon intended to fully possess Alex, and they knew they had to act quickly to prevent Alex's servants from catching up with them.Heartman's hands trembled slightly as he clutched the ancient book of exorcism chants, its pages worn and fragile with age. Mia stood close to him, holding the little dagger the sorcerer had given her.With a deep breath, Mia took the lead, stepping cautiously into the room. The low lighting and flickering candles cast eerie shadows on the cold stone walls. The atm
Outside the sorcerer's abode, Mia and Alex's parents chatted as they made their way home."Heartman, I told you the place looks familiar; now you believe me, right? I can't miss it; I know the place so well, and it still hasn't changed a bit all those years," Natalie said."I believe you now, Luna Natalie," Heartman said, laughing. He went ahead and teased her."Why would you want a sorcerer to change his place? It's not a rented apartment or a palace," Heartman said, laughing out loud. Mia couldn't help but join in the laugh."Heartman darling, are you mocking me?" Natalie did a baby face, trying to win Heartman.Heartman looked at her and refused to fall for her trick. Mia just looked at both of them, happy that they weren't crying or blaming themselves for how Alex turned out to be.She misses her mom too much; it hurts really bad. Her mom would have known exactly what to do right in this situation. She missed all the time she ran away from home to play with friends. If she had kno
Alex's parents were determined to assist their son in defeating the powerful demon that plagued their lives and caused so many deaths. They believed that understanding the demon's origins and weaknesses would be the key to success. With a glimmer of hope in their hearts, they embarked on a journey that would take them to the sorcerer's place and grant them access to long-forgotten texts, helping them understand what they needed to do to help Alex.Early in the morning, they left the pack with Mia, who assured them of the sorcerer's place that her mom took her to before she was killed. They ventured deep into the enchanted forest, with Heartman and Natalie feeling a sense of familiarity."Heartman, isn't this the place we came back then when we were looking for answers about Alex?" Natalie asked, looking around."Natalie, I can't say because all forests look the same, though I know this place looks and feels familiar," Heartman replied."Let's just go; when we get there, we'll know if
The dark cloud that had loomed over Alex's soul grew denser, and with each passing day, the demon lurking inside him gained strength. Its malevolent presence seeped into his thoughts, tainting his actions with a sinister allure. Alex had fought against it, but now, it seemed as if the demon's grip on his very essence was tightening, suffocating him.He noticed Alex was starting to know more about things, meaning he already knew about the trick he was playing with his mind. The demon possessed him and started ordering everyone to get the sacrifice ready fast so he could come in his full self.In fear and trembling, all his servants went about looking for all ingredients to complete the sacrifice and awaken him to take full control of Alex's body.**----------------------------------**Mia and Alex's parents were still making plans on how to help Alex and destroy the demon without coming back to seek revenge.As Mia spoke about it, the more she became tired because everything was confus
Heartman walked out of the cell and out of the dungeon. He headed towards the room where Mia and Nathalie were receiving treatment in the pack house."Nathalie, there's something you need to know," Heartman began, and Mia was about to stand up and leave them to talk when Heartman stopped her."You need to hear this, Mia. It's about your husband, Alex. He isn't dead; he has been possessed by a demon," Heartman paused, observing Mia's response before continuing."He's in the forest, going through the sacrifice to awaken the demon within him," Heartman concluded.Nathalie started crying as she heard what Heartman said. "Isn't there a solution to stop it, Heartman? We can't allow the demon to be awake; it'll destroy innocent lives," Nathalie complained."We'll have to look for the person that possesses the Mundara powers, and searching for that now isn't something that can be done in a few minutes," Heartman said sadly."I already know about the demon within Alex, and I'm the one you seek
