"Who the fuck do you think you are?" she sneered.I easily got irritated. Her words somehow reminded me of the mockery and false names I endured when I was still an omega in my fake mother's house."What's your problem?" I asked with a darkened gaze.She hissed, rolled her eyes, and faced me again."You are. Who are you, anyway, to be given concubine number hundred so easily when the likes of us have worked our asses off to get to this point?"Oh, now I get it. She's jealous.But wait, why would anyone envy me and desire to be the concubine number 100 of this cold-hearted Alpha king? Was it even worth it?'Francesca. Alexandros is feared; the ladies adore that about him. Imagine being the favorite person of the most feared Alpha on earth?' My wolf, Frost, interrupted our argument."Look. I don't care about being number 100 or even number zero of Alexan... sorry, the Alpha king's concubine. You can have it for the goddess's sake." I retorted and relaxed my back on the chair."You arrog
ALEXANDROSAh yes!What I always like to see on her face. That surprised look somehow drives me crazier than I already am just staring at her.On our way here in my ride, she looked busty, full, and thick in the red dress I personally chose for her, and I couldn't stop myself from consistently staring at her.Truth be told, I had brought the same dress for my two other concubines to wear, with the plan to select the one who looked more beautiful among all three of them. Francesca seemed to top the list, and I quickly ordered my guard to inform the two concubines to change their dresses immediately to something else.Her skin glowed with those soft pink lips of hers! Her blue eyes were seductive anytime she looked my way. Damn!She caught me a few times staring, but who cares about that! My dick jerked numerous times from staring at her alone, but I told my wolf it wasn't time for that, and we needed to focus on more important things right now.After all, everything is going as I planne
FRANCESCA"Now, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you all my mate and Luna to the strongest Pack in the world..."What is he doing? Oh my goddess! I can't believe my ears!"Amy!"The crowd gasped, while my heart sank into my abdomen as concubine number 98 in the green dress stepped forward to hold Alexandros's welcoming hand.I felt my whole being irritated and angered in just the split seconds of him announcing her as the Luna, while I, his fated mate, have to settle for being his concubine.With a blissful smile, she took his hand as he brought her forward so the crowd could see.Everyone was in utter shock, myself included.Even Frost could not fathom the instant turn of events that the notorious Alpha was playing at."Now, I present to you Amy," he said the words slowly, and then, I caught a glimpse of his eyes staring my way from his shoulders. And I knew him catching me panting and confused as he betrayed our mate bond like this pleased his every being.There was just one probl
FRANCESCAI still can't believe what just happened. My eyes can hardly comprehend it.I am officially Alexandros's Luna!Oh my goddess!'Francesca, take it easy!'Frost suddenly mind-links me in this joyful moment, and I can almost feel her disapproval of the little dance I did in my head.'Frost, are you seeing this?' I ask her, my voice brimming with excitement.'I am, and that's why you need to calm down.''Calm down? I'm not disturbed or anything, Frost.''You're too excited.''Is that a bad thing?''It is. Look, what I'm saying is, this turn of events might not be what it seems. Even I don't know why Alexandros suddenly changed his mind from turning you from his concubine into his Luna.''Frost, I know what you're thinking. That Alexandros has a motive behind this. But maybe he doesn't? Who knows?''Look, Francesca...'I cut her off before she can finish her statement.'Frost, after the fight that happened between you and him, we were locked up in that room for quite a number of d
AMY POV (Concubine 98)My heart stopped; my hands froze, forcing me to raise my head and meet his gaze.Of course, he had always hinted at how I would fit the position—the woman any Alpha would want to keep at home, by his side.Yet, it felt surreal when Alexandros called me out just before announcing to the entire building, heck, the entire world that I am his new Luna.Goosebumps covered me, and my smile couldn't be hidden.Sadly, the next few seconds changed everything, and the embarrassment on my face couldn't be concealed either.My heart shattered, firstly because I am not adept at handling bad moods, and what Alexandros did put me on the lowest of lows.He called me out only to announce that I was the right-hand woman to his future Luna. Everyone knew that was unnecessary, and he just used me to create suspense in the whole building.It worked perfectly, but so did the side effects on me.Retracing my steps back to the other concubines, I could feel their pitying eyes on me.Us
AMYFive minutes later, I emerged from the restroom and took my seat close to Isabella once again."Look at her, smiling like she just won a lottery. Gosh, I'm so angry right now; I could use a drink myself!""I'll get one for you," I said casually."Forget that, more importantly, why are you acting so chilled over this?"I turned to see her raised eyebrows as she focused her gaze on me. I sighed heavily before quickly switching to my talkative mood."What am I going to do about it? It's done; it's done! Alexandros is the one bastard who does what he wants, after all, girl.""Still, she doesn't deserve any of it like we do!""Are you angry at Francesca or Alexandros, babe?" I asked carefully."Tsk! What kind of question is that? I'm fucking jealous of Francesca and angry at Alexandros' choice of woman for Luna."She turned her gaze away from mine shyly before slowly concluding, "still, my jealousy outweighs my anger."Unlike Isabella, my anger was directed at Alexandros and the situati
ALEXANDROSEverything was going smoothly, unfolding according to my plan. The senorita I was dancing with played her role flawlessly as all eyes blissfully watched us.She seemed to excel in acting when kept in the dark about the truth. That's why I refrained from warning her about behaving appropriately with the high-ranking Alphas during our conversations.The little brat even fabricated a story about living abroad for years and recently returning to this pack. On top of that, she claimed to be an only child. I was thoroughly impressed.As the dance progressed, she gazed at me with those mesmerizing blue eyes, her lips parting in a shy manner as if she had something to say during our slow dance. Perhaps she reconsidered and swallowed her words, resting her head on my chest while I continued to lead the dance.Despite the event proceeding smoothly, I anticipated impending darkness and chaos. I had placed my bet on who would be the one to instigate it. After all, I am the Alpha of Alp
ALEXANDROSThe one major factor that led me to choose her that night over the Moonlight pack Alpha's daughter was her exceptional combat skills.Amy's combat skills, paired with her powers, allowed her to easily kill strong wolves effortlessly, as if they were mere humans. Having entrusted her with numerous tasks in the past, tasks she never questioned, her betrayal disgusted me.Leaving Francesca on the floor with the other Luna's, writhing in pain, I approached Amy, who was effortlessly murdering my bodyguards.Despite her determined expression, I knew it wouldn't last long.Using my super abilities, I swiftly gripped her neck before she could react. She dropped her blood-stained weapon as I cocked my head, taking pleasure in her struggle for breath."Not so fierce now, huh, Mia? Before I end you, tell me the reason for this betrayal."In a sudden move, she attempted another sneaky attack, but my hands were faster. I caught her hand as she tried to stab my heart with a small dagger
TRENTIt is done.The plan had been set in motion. Not exactly as I had wanted, but still, it was fine.I walked towards my office and quickly dialed the Fountain Packs host line."CHANGE OF PLANS! HE IS COMING! I WANT YOU GUYS TO START MOVING NOW! ARRIVE TONIGHT!"FRANCESCAThe last thing I remembered seeing was the back of El's head. She was blocking me away from something. I don't quite remember everything clearly because everything is foggy as hell right now, as if I just drowned my ass in a bottle of alcohol.Worst of all, a huge headache was disturbing me as well.Fuck!What happened?I feel so fucking lazy.I feel so empty.I feel so tired.I was enjoying a delicious pot roast just a few moments ago. So what the heck is happening now?Where is El, and her stubborn attitude?Where is Trent?Don't tell me my beautiful moments spent with them came to an end quickly and Alexandros caught me again?What a confused state I'm in.Frost, can you hear me??I need you now to come and gui
TRENT"Stop talking like a little child. If you hadn't kissed her, things would have still remained the same. But no! You have to know there are consequences to actions, El. You are no longer nine years old!!!""SURE, TRENT! TAUNT ME WITH THAT! TAUNT ME WITH THE EXACT AGE I LOST MOTHER AND FATHER TO BE TAKEN CARE OF BY THE LIKES OF YOU!""El, I'm not trying to taunt you with our parents' death! But you need to grow up and stop putting yourself in unnecessary trouble because at the end of the day, I AM THE FUCKING ONE WHO WILL BE RESPONSIBLE TO SOLVE IT! Dad and Mom left you with me, and I must take care of you!""BULLSHIT! TAKE CARE OF ME, MY ASS! I HATE YOU, TRENT! IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN DON'T DO THIS, DON'T DO THAT WITH YOU! I CAN'T EVEN LIVE WITHOUT SNEAKING OUT OF YOUR PRESENCE! STOP TAKING AWAY THE THINGS THAT BRING ME FUN!""I am only looking after your stubborn ass! Understand that, you brat!" I rubbed my forehead in frustration after realizing I just called her a brat."Look, I don
TRENT"Don't do anything stupid, El," I said softly and pleaded over our mindlink.She had never really listened to me, so I hoped she would this time. Yet, she disappointed me and went ahead to slap the meal off Francesca's mouth."Not on my watch!""El, stop!" I stood up from the chair and stretched my body over to the other side of the table, removing El's hand from pulling out more food from Francesca's mouth.She threw me off, but I didn't back down.Suddenly, she kissed Francesca's mouth and sucked out the food, then turned to me and spat everything on my face.Fuck!However, I wasn't going to back down until Francesca couldn't take it anymore from both of us and stood up from the chair.Her expression filled with shock and disgust that we had just used her mouth for all sorts of experiments."What the actual fuck is wrong with both of you?" She raised her voice, while I tightened my jaw."Francesca, are you alright? Do you feel dizzy, sleepy, lazy? Talk to me, bitch!" El reache
TRENT"YOU DID WHAT??" I asked El, without realizing my voice had been seriously raised."Sheesh! Take a breather, bro. It's not that deep! Even though she's sweet, though," she responded, giving Francesca a smile."Stop it!" Francesca punched her arm playfully.Francesca was smiling too!I don't think these girls even took it as anything.(A MINDLINK BETWEEN TRENT AND EL)"Are you out of your mind?? Why would you kiss our hostage?""Trent! I got bored and tried out something new! You're so jealous! And she's not even cheating on you with a man! Can't you share a little bit with your sister?!"El was being unreasonable. Again."Stop being unreasonable. You know we shouldn't get close to her. She is wanted by Alexandros, the man who put us and our ancestors in this situation! You can't be playing with his pet when we aren't ready!""What do you mean by that? He doesn't know our location!" El fired back."He said they're mates! You kissed her! He will feel the betrayal! What don't you ge
TRENTYes! My suspicion was correct! The results exceed my expectations.I can't believe such a beast still exists in our world today, the last of its kind!The legends are indeed true, then.I was in my office, running through some blood samples. I had been experimenting vigorously since I woke up that morning. The only thing I've had is water. No breakfast, and now it was, in fact, afternoon. I was still locked in my office with my telescope and experiments.I am a scientist. I've always been, well, let's say I really got serious since we started all this.My passion for the work revived, and all I wanted to do was get justice for my kind and the lost souls of our ancestors for over five hundred years.Francesca happens to be more than a normal she-wolf. I have discovered her to be the ultimate cure for Alexandros' fading immortality.No wonder his looks could kill back there when she escaped with me. She was his last hope.But at the same time, she was our hope as well—my hope and
FRANCESCATime stopped, and we looked into each other's eyes. The next thing I felt was El placing her lips on mine.They were very soft. I couldn't close my eyes from the shock as she kissed me for the next two seconds.Then suddenly, on impulse, I jolted backwards, my breath becoming heavy as I watched her sit upright and stare at me innocently while I held a shocked expression on my face.Neither of us had anything to say for the next ten seconds, and trust me, it was very, very awkward."Oh, come on, it's not really that bad," El says, playing with her fingers and avoiding eye contact as she said it."Huh?" I pressed. Did she just say kissing me out of the blue isn't so bad? I never expected it in the first place.She didn't respond again and instead attempted to move closer to me.Each step she took forward, I took the same step backward from her.Until I couldn't anymore, and she crawled closer and closer, maintaining intense eye contact that I couldn't break away from until she
FRANCESCAAfter what felt like an eternity of walking through the bushes, with leaves scratching my entire body, I finally emerged from the forest.Lo and behold, the sight was divine!"Wow," was the only thing that escaped my lips as I took in the view.The place was filled with purple-colored flowers. I could call them roses because they looked like one, but the difference was that this particular flower was purple instead of the usual red.I spotted El giggling in a corner as she watched me marvel at the sight."What are you waiting for, silly? Come over," she said, gesturing with a beautiful smile on her lips.Excited about the fun we were about to have, I hurriedly ran towards her, and we explored the flowers side by side, holding hands.Soon, she plucked one of them and brought it close to my nose. It was unlike any other flower I had ever smelled.A mixture of grape and powdery scents softly hit my nose. It was strong yet relaxing, which was very rare."Oh my! That's new," I sai
FRANCESCA(DAWN)The birds were chirping, and the rain had stopped overnight, but its effects lingered in the damp soil.The loud yawn of someone directed our gaze to the other part of the bedroom.In two seconds, out came Trent with his shirt off, wearing only trousers.Yawning embarrassingly and scratching his abdomen at the same time.When his eyes landed on us, he flinched."Oh shit! El! What the fuck are you doing here?!" He screamed, rushing towards us with confusion all over his face, and I enjoyed seeing him like this."You might want to cover your hairy chest first before speaking to us!" I said out of nowhere, just to make him feel more uncomfortable and bring me more joy.Instantly, his hands covered his chest, and horror appeared on his embarrassed face."How? When? Why? What the actual fuck are you doing here, El?!" He screamed, pointing a finger at his sister sitting beside me, trying to take another swig of vodka before I stopped her."That's enough. Put it down! Shh! Yo
"(Will you go with me, Francesca?)"(I will go with you!! I will fuck you intensely too!! I will please you!! but please do not kill him!)An evil smirk played on his lips just before...A FEW HOURS EARLIER...After a long day escaping from my mate, my body had finally embraced the warmth of a bed. I just wanted to relax and regain lost energy for tomorrow's journey, which I'm sure I'll start by myself. Me and Frost alone. No one else.But just then, a heavy weight dropped on top of me, waking me up.I snapped.And then my body managed to push the person away before I asked harshly, "Who is there?!"The room was dark, so I could only see shadows of the person and not their faces.He or she was soaking wet, making me believe they had just come from outside in the rain.Then suddenly, just at the right time, lightning struck in the room, and I got to see it was a lady's face.A young lady, to be precise.In her hand, a bottle of vodka was being drowned into her mouth when I asked who she
