Chapter 13 – Angel In Disguise?
To my surprise and embarrassment, the Alpha snickered, holding a burst of laugh.
Was he mocking me? Did he not really meant when he said that I can ask for anything?
Oh goddess! Why did I even think that he actually meant that I could request anything I want. I should know my place! And be grateful to whatever they give me and not request for something more anymore.
But when I looked at his eyes, his gaze was so overwhelming and heart warming. He was giving me the gaze of adoration and amusement, I do not know if I was right at how he was looking, but I am sure of it. It was not a mocking look or a joke on me.
“What chocolate?” the Alpha then asked.
“R-really? It is okay?” I asked, is he really going to give me? she he was not mocking me or anything?
“Yeah. I can give you whatever you want.” the Alpha replied.
“Oh, uhm… any c
Chapter 14 – Disobedience and AngerIt has been four days already that I am learning how to walk on high heels. I am still struggling but I am getting a grasp of it now, and Finary made we try to wear and walk all my high heels, though sometimes I get out of balance especially when I walk down the stairs I have to hold on the banister, and when I try to walk fast I get distracted, but at a normal pace I can actually do it already with a proper posture. She always reminds me not to look down and slouch, to always lift my head up high. Finary is such a very strict teacher, she would constantly glare at me when she is tired of scolding me verbally. However, she is also patient, very patient at my stupidity.During the days of my stay here in the pack, all I did was undergo the lesson with Finary, even though I had tried again to offer washing the laundry and water the plants at the backyard of the pack house, the Alpha forbids me, and ordered the ot
Chapter 15 – Death… I Will Be Next.I only relaxed and broke down to the floor when I saw him walking out of my room, closing the door gentler than the banging he had caused when he entered.I stayed on the floor and tried to hide myself on the corner of the wall, and just let myself cry in fear and relief.The Alpha may not has hit me physically today but he is scary, his eyes look scarier than how my family had treated. If looks could kill, I might be lying dead on the floor by now.I should have listened. It was a simple order from him, for me not to work, not to do the chores, and just follow his orders, of what he tells me what to do, but why did I even try to be stubborn.But I just wanted to help.Everyone had been nice and giving me food, I just wanted to at least pay them back and show them I am grateful enough. I did not mean to disobey him. But he got so mad.I felt my eyelids got heavier in ex
Chapter 16 – Her Peace and ComfortI woke up finding myself on the bed when what I remember was falling asleep at the corner of my room… and the killed men.I felt something heavy on my waist and when I looked at it, it was an arm, immediately looking at my side, I found the Alpha lying beside me, his arm wrapped around my waist.Instantly, I wriggled and tried to get away from his grasp, my throat refused to scream, what could that thing do to help me? this is his pack.“A-alpha, please.”I was scared of what he may do to me, but I am more surprised and glad that he did not do anything last night, he did not violate me in my sleep, or kill me for what I have witnessed.“Shh.” He just grumbled and his arm went tighter around me. His eyes were still sleeping close. And what puzzled me was the tingling sensation that was coming from his touch, the warmth from his naked top, his chest presse
Chapter 17 – It Was The Mate BondJust like every morning, the Alpha takes me to a run, today after running we both stood on an open hill, with just as two. He turned around to face me and I bowed my head down.“When you were being treated badly, have you ever tried fighting and resisting?” the Alpha asked.Then the images of me trying to escape the traders came into my mind. I never tried escaping my father’s pack, for I never knew where to go and I thought I had to be with them because they are my family. However, when I was sold to the traders, I realized that I had to escape and try my luck outside, free from the grasp of everyone.But I was never successful and all I got from those attempts where bruises and bleeding, and claw scars on my back that never faded.I was weak. I am weak. And every time I tried to escape, I would always have my wolf to be in control, she has more survival instincts than me,
Chapter 18 – My Nice AlphaThird Person POVWhile Antheia was running to the woods, her wolf completely took over her body as she shifted into her wolf form, causing her clothes to be ripped apart and left on her tracks.She was fast, and the Alpha immediately went after her, running, but he did not shift into his wolf.However, he cannot believe it when he could barely catch up to her. He is an Alpha, and normally, even though he does not shift into his wolf form, he can still catch up onto his pack warriors, he can easily catch up onto other werewolves whether they are in their human form or wolf form.Yet, here she is, Antheia, she was running so fast.And as he was closing onto her, he came into a realization that if she is a normal werewolf, she would not have that kind of speed. A speed than only an Alpha blood could possess.He quickened his pace and took advantage of Anthe
Chapter 19 – Fight and Kill, AntheiaAntheia’s POVI just finished the book he gave me when I heard a knock on my door. I looked up since I was seated on the floor and as the door swung open, I saw that it was the Alpha.He walked towards me and he led me to the bed and he sat at the edge of it. I leaned back on the headboard and listened to what he was about to say.When we got back from our morning run, we just had our meals and then he went back on his duties again and I was left playing with my little kitten Daisy who is now tired and asleep on her bed. The blue sky has now turned into a red and orange tint as the sun was already half behind the mountains.The Alpha told me earlier to have my dinner early and take a rest even though I have not done any strenuous activity today. But I stilled obeyed and came here in my room to read. And in just after almost an hour, here he is, fresh from hi
Chapter 20 – A BraidedThird Person POVAfter breakfast, Antheia went back in her room. She was already briefed by the Alpha this morning before he went out for some pack matters.The fight will start in the next two hours.She had decided to take a shower and wear a comfortable clothes, wherein she can easily move and fight, and dodge, or run, if she needs to, and that is only if her wolf would not show up and take over her.She took her time, just sitting on the tub, under the shower, hoping that time would just pass now and that she would not need to go to that custom fight anymore.Time had passed and she was not aware of how much had she lost just staring and playing with the water, until she heard a knock on the bathroom door.Her head snapped to its direction and waited,“Antheia, you have been there for an hour.” It was the Alpha.~’An hour?!
Chapter 21 – The ArenaThird Person POVLea and Antheia walked to the training gym and it was packed with pack warriors and pack members surrounding the small arena that is similar to the ring that was used in kick boxing. The place was dark and noisy, empty cans of beer were rolling on the floor and being crashed, some bearded men were tossing some beers to the crowd and the sound of cheers and opening of can lids were heard.Antheia’s eyes roam around the room and she moved closer to Lea as they are being squeezed on their path. The noise was scaring her, thinking that these werewolves would tear her apart.Lea has been a rogue for the past few months because she and her mother was banished by the Luna of her previous pack with the accusation of her mother getting in bed with their Alpha, which was not true, but the it was their Alpha who was trying to force her mother to satisfy his lust. She only
Chapter 87 – Her Home and BelovedThe Rossathorn Pack easily found Mindor and extracted the truth from him. He was the only remaining person alive who knew the truth from that night Luna Elena gave birth to the successor of Rossathorn. He revealed the truth, that it was Connor who ordered him to dispose of the child, but he kept her. However, despite the truth that he kept the child alive, the Rossathorn pack did not forgive him for the life he had given Antheia, the sufferings she had to endure at the hands of the alpha of Muggar pack. They let him live and his family, but in misery. They had become low workers of the pack, working in the fields and mountains owned by Rossathorns. The fate of Mindor and his pack had been known to Alpha Raven who had once put them in misery for what they did to Antheia. But he never found out the reason why. He assumed that Mindor had a great debt to pay to the Rossathorns, and Jane indeed had done a great job of keeping the truths from the public. No
Chapter 86 - DNA Match“Elena.” Luna Elena’s father, Arnold called to her but she was not listening. She had left him on her table for a few minutes while he sorted some papers to be passed to the advisors of the pack after her signature and approval of them. “Elena, I have been calling for you. What are you looking at?” Arnold looked out the window as well when he noticed the shaken expression of Luna Elena. And in an instant, his eyes narrowed at Antheia’s back and the bold red laurel marking on her back.“Who is she? She bears the Rossathorn’s mark. I do not recognize her being a part of our family.” Arnold said not being able to recognize Antheia since it was her back that was turned to him.“She is just a guest.” Luna Elena said.“No outsider of this family bears the same mark. Where is she from? Is it real or a tattoo to mimic the Rossathorn’s crest?” Arnold inquired, also surprised to see someone with the same mark. He remembers that his wife, Luna Elena’s mother also bore the
Chapter 85 - Revealed BirthmarkJane led the way to the backyard where Luna Elena was already waiting for them and watching over Jane’s kids and two of their nieces playing together. It was just the three of them, Jane, Luna Elena, and Antheia, because they did not want to attract unnecessary attention to the young lady which may cause an uproar of speculations especially since Antheia has a resemblance to the young Elena. They wanted to investigate quietly and even though it may seem rude and unright to investigate Antheia without her knowledge, they still chose to proceed without letting her know because they did not want to bother the young lady with their speculations. Not until they have proven and made a positive conclusion. As they settled down in their seats and enjoyed their tea and salads with some light chicken dishes, the conversation was light and was mainly about Rossathorn pack and how the once barren backyard turned into one that is filled with different kinds of flowe
Chapter 84 - Invite Her“Speculations,” Luna Elena uttered sighing even though she was considering the possibilities of the things that her sister Jane had said. She rested her back against her chair and stared at nowhere on her wooden table.“Then give me permission to prove it to you,” Jane said and Luna Elena looked at her.“Sister, you already went beyond without my permission and yet now you are asking for permission?” Luna Elena sarcastically smirked. “Just for formality.” Jane replied.“What do you need?” the Luna asked.“Invite her again here. For a cup of tea perhaps?” Jane suggested“Why?”“We need her DNA, Elena. That is the most guaranteed way to prove that she does not belong to our family, or if she does. You and her.” Jane said and the Luna was about to protest again but Jane already spoke first, cutting her off.“I am not trying to put your hopes up, Elena. It is just to make sure.”“Fine. Send her an invite.” Luna Elena said.“Got it.” Jane uttered feeling accomplish
Chapter 83 - Jane’s InvestigationJane told Luna Elena what she had learned about Antheia. She did her own research on Muggar Pack, the Alpha and Luna of the Muggar Pack that raised Antheia, and what happened to Antheia before she turned eighteen. She found out about Antheia being a daughter of a slut of the Alpha of Muggar Pack and that she lived like a servant to the Alpha’s family until she was disposed to the traders which placed her in the auction where Raven had found her, which then later after a few months, the traders and people behind the auction were arrested, and punished. Jane, as a blood born Rossathorn, wherein their family and generation were known to be great spies and investigators, let her curiosity about Antheia lead her to all those information. But now she faces a dead end. She was not able to find the reason or the cause as to why Antheia bears a similar mark to a blood born Rossathorn. Jane also investigated the members of the Rossathorn family if they have a c
Chapter 82 - The Pain of Losing A MateOnce the chief maid left the room and the doors closed, Jane spoke, “You have got a pretty tattoo right there.”“Huh?” Antheia reacted, not knowing yet what Jane was talking about.“Your tattoo, at the back of your shoulder, can I see it?” Jane said.Antheia turned her back to her and fixed her robe, pushing down a sleeve to reveal the back of her shoulder which held her birthmark as she said, “Oh, this one? It is not a tattoo. I do not know. I have had it since I was a kid and I noticed that it also grew as I grew up.”Jane had her eyes locked on the birthmark, she knows it because she has it too but it was just a very little mark on her, it was also fading and not very visible, however, on her sister Luna Elena, it was located at the side of her abdomen, very evident and larger, a symbol of the first born Rossathorn and a rightful successor of the pack. “It is pretty. Is it some sort of a birthmark?” Jane uttered.“Probably. I am not sure. I r
Chapter 81 - Red Laurel MarkingAntheia’s eyes graced the portraits decorating the walls of the corridor. She does not recognize any of them yet, until the last portrait adorned with gold frames, it was Luna Elena in her middle twenties when she was appointed to succeed the Rossathorn pack and became officially the Luna. “This is Luna Elena.” she guessed and Jane confirmed.“She is. She became the Luna that day and led the pack.” Jane replied.“I did not see the Alpha of Rossathorn Pack,” Antheia asked curiously.“He is gone. His name was Connor. He died from a disease, already more than a decade ago/” Jane replied.“Oh.” Antheia thought, and a realization came into her head, “They do not have children?” she asked as she remembered some gossip she heard at the hall earlier when some people around her were talking about Luna Elena not having a child, a successor, hence the elders of Rossathorn Pack are in disarray, deciding which among the close relatives, a blood born Rossathorn, wou
Chapter 80 - Meeting Her“So, are you going to meet her or not?” Jane uttered, pulling her sister Luna Elena out of her reverie. Luna Elena looked at her and asked, “Where was she from again?”“She is the mate of Raven Lanford from Kingston Pack.” Jane answered and Luna Elena just nodded lightly before Jane led the way among the crowd toward where Antheia was rooted.Antheia smiled when she saw the approaching Luna Elena and Jane.“Greetings to you, Luna Elena.” Antheia uttered with a warm smile which the former was not able to reciprocate for she was still baffled and surprised at the resemblance the young lady has with her features. Luna Elena did not speak nor acknowledge the greeting from Antheia, until Jane cleared her throat. “Oh thank you, dear. Are you enjoying the party?” Luna Elena asked.“Yes, yes. The desserts were really great, especially the strawberries and cheesecakes” Antheia replied. And when another bowl of strawberries was being served to the table, and refilling
Chapter 79 - Luna Elena; A Glimpse of Her Past“Yes, but not Crowden, that is Raven. Crowden was away, and we figured I was mistaken to be Crowden’s mate, so he said, I could just come here instead with Raven on his behalf.” Antheia explained, as instructed by her mate if anyone asks about them and the mix up.“Oh, that is fine. The two lead the Kingston Pack side by side anyway.” Jane said and took a sip from her wine as she looked around to look for her sister Luna Elena, hoping that she was already done talking to some people.“I’m sorry, may I ask where the restroom is?” Antheia asked when she felt her urinary bladder needed a relief.“Go straight to the right, there will be a door that will lead to the restrooms,” Jane replied, pointing behind Antheia the direction of the restroom.“Thank you.” Antheia placed down the saucer and was about to turn around but stopped when Jane added, “I will wait for you here, alright? I want you to meet Elena.” and the former just then nodded in r
