Scarlet’s POVCursed.That was what I was. I was cursed.Yet again, the moon goddess wasted no time in showing me that I was a delusional mess destined to end up alone and probably die alone too, after suffering years struggling to survive in the messed up world that we lived in.First, it was Meidran, and just like Miya had chosen to forgive him when they were younger, I chose to forgive the idiot too, simply because I felt like the bastard didn’t know any better, but then he proved me wrong and made it clear to all that he was indeed a bastard with no more than two tiny peas for a brain.Then there was Alpha Zain. Although it was clear that he was troubled if the man had just marked us long ago, then we would never have had to face the sort of embarrassment that we had to face in the clinic when he made it clear that we weren’t mates.Samiya might have cried then, but she could never feel just how much pain I felt. She might want to tough it up and act like nothing drastic happened,
Samiya’s POVI couldn't stop my heart from racing.Even though moments had gone since the kiss and Alpha Zain’s public declaration, I couldn't find any way to calm myself down. Feeling Scarlet’s energy surge all around me for the first time in a while, made it even harder to, but I didn't mind.I had a perfect mate and the perfect wolf.Nothing could ruin this moment.At least that was what I believed until Meidran stepped forward.“Zain… Alpha Zain,” Meidran stressed his title when he didn't answer him the first time.With Alpha Zain’s eyes still fixed on the audience before us, he answered through gritted teeth. “What is it, Meidran? And you better make it good.”My eyes narrowed slightly at Meidran as he brushed his hands on his trousers before speaking. “Umm… Alpha Zain please remember the reason why you started the contest in the first place. The people need to see your future Luna and chosen mate actually work hard to get that title… the people have expectations.”For what had t
Samiya’s POV “Wait, Miya. Don't do it.” As much as I loved Scarlet, at times I felt like the she-wolf was evolving at a much faster rate than any other living thing on the planet. I could swear to the moon goddess that I hadn't even let a single word run through our mind link channel, yet it felt like I didn't have to do any of that because it seemed as though Scarlet already had access to all of my thoughts! “Miya, wait, I know what you're thinking-” I rolled my eyes and released a sigh. “Of course you do, Scarlet. You have access to all of my unfiltered thoughts at this point. Maybe I should just quit mind-linking you since you’ve come to know my next move even before I make it,” I mindlinked her, not trying to hide the frustration in my tone. This time, it was Scarlet who sighed. “Miya, the last thing we need to do right now is fight. I'm sorry for reading your thoughts without permission and I promise not to do it again, but for now, can we please just focus on Ralph? An
Samiya’s POV “How did she know about that night?” I mindlinked Scarlet in an instant. “Your special Alpha Zain most likely told her about it. What do you think?” Scarlet was being extra sassy today and at this point, her actions were starting to dabble on a thin line being rude. I was well aware that I was the one who always wished for her to be a little more cunning and grow a thicker skin, but one thing I didn't want was for her to start this little experiment with me. “Our special Alpha Zaim,” I corrected, before adding. “He’s going to be our mate, not just mine, remember?” “Well, the deal looked tempting when I didn't see that Ralph was locked up in some silver cage!” Scarlet yelled, killing off any of the energy I was ready to spare for her. Already coming to the conclusion that I wasn't going to get anywhere with Scarlet, I redirected all my focus to the intimidating woman standing before me. “Miss Shuzen-” I started or tried to start before the woman cut me off.
Samiya’s POV Leaving Miss Shuzen’s room, I couldn't help but think about the conversation that we had, and it seemed as though Scarlet had a lot to think about because she was silent. Still slightly puzzled, I walked back to my old room, and I was pleasantly surprised to find all of Alpha Zain’s men waiting for me, right by my door. “Well, let’s get started,” I told them, in a low tone before opening my room for them and ushering them in. For what might have been the next two hours or the next hour or two, I directed Alpha Zain’s men on what to pack and how to pack until we were done. Once we were done, and I escorted the last few men out, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that my things were not moved to Alpha Zain’s room but a room beside it. “Wait… why are my things not in Alpha Zain’s room?” I was quick to ask as I rushed past the few men carrying my things and into the room where the other men were currently storing my belongings. “Your things are not in Alpha Z
Samiya’s POVMy breath caught in my throat.I was the one who was meant to do the seducing and teasing, yet, Zain had managed to change all of that only in a matter of a few minutes. His intense gaze remained on me, and I, being as stubborn as I was, matched his gaze with just as much intensity. Unfortunately, I couldn't keep up for so long and found myself looking away, although being the one who was teased this time felt strange, I didn't mind it.It felt good to allow the man to do the work for once.Releasing a breath, I let a perfectly manicured finger trace the exposed path of Zain’s chest that his shirt created. “Pray tell, in how many ways exactly can we play around tradition, Zain?”Zain caught my finger fast, before leading it to his lips and leaving a gentle kiss on it.As Zain's lips brushed over my finger, his eyes held mine, flickering with a mix of playful challenge and something deeper, something primal.
Samiya’s POVZain meant it when he said that he would be serving me with a little punishment because that was the only reason I could come up with for him stopping while I was so close to an orgasm.My red hair was a mess on the bed as I watched Zain look down at me from where he stood. It was a no-brainer that he loved seeing me like this. A wanton mess. One that he had created.He tsked, shaking his head. “Now, only good little mates, get orgasms and get fucked as many times as they need, Miya.”“Sadist,” I shot at him in one breath.If anything, my attitude only amused him more. “Call me whatever you want, redhead. It only makes this a whole lot more interesting for me. Now, spread those legs like I told you to.”The ache in between my legs had refused to leave, if anything, it had spread through my body, penetrating my veins and somehow making my thinking a lot more faulty than it ought to be.A part of me wondered what denying him would lead to, but the ache I was feeling couldn
Samiya’s POVToday was the day when a million of my dreams came true only to get destroyed right after.“I’m pretty sure that when the moon goddess created omegas she didn’t imagine them being this fucking stubborn!” one of the alpha’s gammas yelled. An eye patch adorned his face along with some ancient tattoos, making him look scarier than everyone else who had come to kick us out of our home.My breathing quickened, and my adrenaline spiked up, flowing through my veins aggressively.A few more hefty men marched forward, barging into our home before tossing our items out like they were nothing more than trash. I wanted to fight back with everything in me. I wanted to yell at the idiot in front of him and let him know just how stupid I thought the entire rank system was, but I couldn’t.I couldn’t because, in the land of Etrana, stupid moves like that could get an omega like me killed, and I wasn’t ready to die… just yet.Forcing a smile, I swallowed any bit of pride I had left in me.

Zain's POVI wanted to apologize or say anything that I possibly could to make the situation better, but I couldn’t, because before I could utter a word, Mae left me alone to deal with my dark thoughts.For the rest of the day, Mae’s last words haunted me in everything I did and planned to do, and when the emptiness in my chest refused to leave, I knew the decision that I had to make.The next morning was supposed to be when the final challenge was held for the contest just as I had ordered. With a plan drafted up in my head, I made it to the venue hours before the challenge was supposed to start, waiting for her, my redhead.My mind grew restless as I waited to see the beautiful red hair accompanied by the most stubborn green eyes I had ever laid eyes on and as well grown to adore.A few minutes before the commencement of the final challenge, the hall was already packed with members of the pack who wished to see who their future Luna would be. For years, I had made up one excuse or t
Zain’s POVI could have said yes, but I didn’t.Just one word would have made last night seem like it never happened, but I, of course, being the self-righteous prick I was cursed as, told her the painful truth, and for the first time ever, I saw Samiya cry.The woman didn’t shed a tear when I sent six wolves after her and led her to an almost death, yet with a few unnecessary truths from me, it was enough to warrant a teardrop to run down her pale cheek and then another and another and before I could feel Ralph resurface, I was quick to run out of her room.Only a few things existed that a man like me could bear, and Samiya crying, didn’t just happen to be one of them.As fast as my feet could carry me, I ran to my room and the first thing I ordered for were five cups of Shilajit tea. I knew that I would at least need that much to survive the night ahead.Without so much as a break, I down my Shilajit teas one cup after the other until there was nothing left, yet I wasn’t able to get
