|| ELINDA's POV ||
It was insane how easily people could judge you. Matteo's indirect insult at me only made me angrier. Fiona stretched her hands out to drag me outside. One sharp glare from my eyes, her wolf shuddered, taking a step back to show submission.
Matteo shot me another glare but he couldn't meet my eyes anymore. When a Royal took charge, average wolves couldn't stand the dominant power in front of her. I spat firmly, taking a step forward to the boy,
" Stay back. I can fix him. If I fail, you are allowed to insult me."
Matteo retorted weakly, staying a few steps away since he couldn't enter inside my dominance wave,
" You... don't.. you will kill him."
I ignored his words and opened up my mouth to bite on my wrist. Blood leaked out of it, sliding it down to my skin. I held it down on the lips of the dying boy. Fiona grumbled impatiently,
" What are you doing, witch? You will kill him."
I ignored her unnecessary banter. Moments afterward, the boy started coughing violently, turning paler than before. Matteo cursed with anger, shooting me his death glare,
" Fuck!! This woman..."
" What is happening here?", the sound of Alexis's voice stiffened me at my place. Each time he was near me, I felt the obvious discomfort in my heart.
Fiona didn't waste a second to run over to him. She whined, pretending to be crying,
" Don, look at your guest. She has killed little Morphi. She gave him her blood. Now the boy has turned worse and is dying."
Alexis's eyes snapped at me with rage then fell to the little guy who was vomiting uncontrollably. He came at me, grabbing me by my forearms to spit on my face,
" You have every damn right to hate me, Princess but don't include my people in your hatred."
My mouth fell open speechlessly. Did he think that I was trying to kill this little guy?
I tried to explain, but pain and anger were clogging my throat,
" Listen to me...I didn't..."
Matteo cut in, his eyes were wide in disbelief as he looked back at the little guy behind me,
" He is well now."
We both looked over the boy. He returned to its usual color, breathing heavily. My shoulders slumped down in relief. For a second, I was scared too of his condition. Alexis went over to check the pulse of the boy. When he felt it, he looked over at me regretting it. I swallowed the lump in my throat and explained it with a scoff,
" In case, some have forgotten. I happened to grow up with my doctor's parents. Royal blood can heal werewolves. Not everyone is a monster like you, Mr.Alexis."
Matteo wanted to say something but I had already walked out of the room. Fiona's expression gave me the best satisfaction. She looked like she just ate some shit.

|| ALEXIS's POV ||
Fuck!!
I had never felt so irritated with myself!
How did I forget that she was the light? It was me who was the darkness in her life.
Regret grappled my soul as soon as she was gone from the soon. The pack member miraculously healed faster than normal. It was the stupidity of mine to believe everyone except her.
I sipped my wine absentmindedly as I watched over the trading list. Luke, my cousin walked over to me, a dead deer hanging over his shoulders. He had a habit of hunting like a human. He didn't stay in our pack house as the distant packs were assigned under his care.
Luke asked with the cigarette between his lips, dropping the deer aside like a piece of trash,
" You seem angry. Any reason?"
I glared at him murderously. It was his idea to date Elinda at the beginning. Before I could say anything, Luke let out a whistle, staring at some corner,
" Wow! Who is that hottie? Is she your new item after Fiona?"
My eyes traveled to follow his direction. The sight that I saw made my blood boil in anger, my cock twitching in desire. Elinda came down from the second floor in a very short fork. Her ass was almost exposed as she wandered in front of the trainee warriors. I swore that I wanted to dig their eyes out. I let out a growl, grasping the paper,
"Don't..LOOK..."
Luke gave me a strange look. After stealing another look at Elinda, he swallowed hard before muttering,
" Isn't she Elinda.. from our college? How could she..."
I cut him off with a roar, grabbing the wine glass and finishing it off,
" You are dismissed, Luke. Go back!"
Luke didn't dare to say anymore. On his leave, I watched Elinda again. This time, she was laughing with some young boys in her hot dress. Gosh! I wanted to spank her ass for showing off.
It became unbearable when her laughter with the boys reached my ears. I stood up in a shot, already heading on their way. The boys ran in different directions on my arrival. Elinda gave me a black look, unhappy at my presence,
" What?? Why did you send them away?"
I eyed down at her purple dress. It was provoking and could turn on any man. I commanded it with a growl, holding her forearms,
" TAKE IT OFF, PRINCESS!"
Elinda sneered at me, jerking my hands off her body,
" YOU CAN'T ORDER ME! I am not your pack member, Don. Whatever I wear, it has nothing to do with you. Just stay the fuck out of my business."
Please.. Did she think that I couldn't control her because I fucking rejected her?
I pulled her over my shoulders, her scream echoing in the field. Everyone stared our way, but I ignored them. I carried her upstairs over my shoulders, her beatings falling on my back. She cried hysterically,
" LEAVE ME ALONE! I hate you, Leo."
I dropped her on her butt over the bed. She wanted to run away but I held her down, ordering in my Alpha voice,
" TAKE IT OFF or...I will take it off for you, Princess."
Elinda stared at me, her lips trembling in anger. After a while, she blurted out with a hiss,
" Do it then! I would like to see how far you control. Do it for me, Alex. Take it off since you hate it so much."
I clenched my jaw at her words. She was provoking my anger but I never found it easy. How could I resist my urge when I looked at her body?
At the same time, I hated it when men eyed her body, dreaming about her hips and curves. It turned me mad unreasonably. I let out a scoff and followed her wish. Grabbing the hem of her dress, I tore it apart swiftly, her surprised gasp hitting straight to my groin.
How could a woman be so damn perfect?
Her black bra popped out under my eyes. She became stiff but she forced herself to act bold. My mouth watered at the sight of her breasts. It had grown fully and I wouldn't mind tasting the buds. I stared down at her body for a while, then leaned over to her until our faces were inches apart. I muttered my words through harsh breathing,
" I will resist you even if you are standing naked in front of me, Princess. Do you know why? Because I am fucking loyal to my best friend."
|| ELINDA'S POV ||" Yeah! Everything is fine here. Just tell me..how long will I have to stay here?" I asked my brother on the phone, feeling suffocated to live in this mansion where I couldn't go out. I felt ashamed for offering myself to him so easily. It was just a matter of time that I lost control of myself.Alberto assured me, his tone sounded hurried," Soon, dear sister. You are in good hands. Just enjoy your vacation."Fuck the vacation! It was more suitable to live in the street than my rejected mate!Alberto didn't extend the conversation anymore. He cut off our words and hung up. I released a heavy sigh and walked near the big window. A black car had just entered the field at a remarkable speed. Matteo and his other team members dragged a woman out. The face of that woman was swollen. It seemed like she was being abused before dragging her here.I spotted Leonid in his kingly position. He was surrounded by men as the woman was presented in front of him.Did he want to ki
|| ELINDA's POV ||" What...are you doing?"I muttered nervously, the knife in her hand glittering dangerously under the bright light. The woman said nothing and then charged at me. She held the knife under my throat before laughing into my ears," I didn't think that it would be easy to fool the princess. Tsk...now call your fucking brother and tell him to accept me as his princess."My thoughts went blank at the mention of my brother. What did she do with my brother? What the hell was happening?I swallowed hard under the threat of her knife. Then I remembered once my brother said to me that my goodness would be my doom one day. At that moment, I hated myself more than anyone. I muttered a reply, waiting for someone to show up," He ...is busy these days..He won't probably pick up..my phone..."The woman sneered into my ears, pressing the knife harder into my skin," You fucking woman! He is never busy with his sister. CALL HIM! LET ME SPEAK!"" PRINCESS!!"The sound of a deep metal
|| ELINDA'S POV ||" Matteo, where's your Don?"I asked the cold-faced guy who hated me for no reason. Matteo shot a glare at me, his eyes holding curiosity. I couldn't fall asleep after what Alexis had faced today because of me. Perhaps it was so normal for them but I couldn't stop the self-blaming.Matteo sneered at me, his eyes narrowing," Why? So that you can cause some trouble freely?"I scoffed at him, intending to find it by myself," Says someone whose work is killing."I saw Fiona at a distance. She was coming out of the study with a dark face. I instantly knew where Alexis was as Fiona hated to keep her ass away from Alexis. I walked in that direction without asking anymore. The door was already opened. It took one gentle push to enter. I was scared to make any noise since I knew that Alexis was angry with me.My eyes darted around to find him but he was nowhere to be seen. Before I could take another step forward, a growling voice stopped me," I can smell you, woman."I l
|| ELINDA'S POV ||" LET HER GO, MATT!!!"A roar from Elinda stopped him from pulling me out. I was already sobbing in anger and pain. I felt like a villain here among these people. Leonid stood up from the couch, wincing in pain that made me hate myself even more. He stopped in front of Matteo and demanded, his Alpha aura radiating through the room," APOLOGIZE TO HER! NOW!! She is the princess of this dynasty. Don't you ever fucking dare!!"Matteo hung his head low, his face turning red in shame. He muttered politely without looking me in the eye," I..am sorry...I thought..she was hurting you..Alpha Don..."" GET OUT! ALL OF YOU!"We shook in terror by his voice. Fiona left first hurriedly, Matteo glancing at me. As I made my way to the door, another roar broke through the room," NOT YOU! I didn't ask you to leave, Princess."Matteo closed the door behind me. It was just me and Alexis standing in the room. Alexis crossed the room with a long stride, his eyes darkening differently,
|| ALEXIS's POV ||" I am not fucking going anywhere unless you tell me why we are shifting again!!"Elinda's scream buzzed in the whole room. She was furious that I didn't share anything with her. How was I gonna tell her that her brother was scarier than she ever thought?Matteo pinched the space between his brows. I knew that Elinda was challenging his patience. Letting out a frustrated sigh, I tried to convince her, stepping near her," Listen to me, Princess. Whatever it is to keep you safe. You have to trust your brother. At least not me but you have to trust him."Elinda refused to listen to anything. She crossed her arms, raising her head to confront me," Unless I have a better explanation from you, I am not going anywhere."I had already expected it to come. Groping her by her arms, I muttered into her ears, pulling the syringe out of my pocket," Sorry, Princess. It had to be done."I injected it straight into her neckline before she could say another word. A startled gasp
|| LEONID's POV ||" The western pack has blocked all our trade. They destroyed it even before we could reach the Dead Sea."Matteo came with the news of our latest trade. I pulled my eyes from the laptop, a deep frown appearing between my temples. I never had an issue with the Western pack. I wondered why they were instigating a war.I replied with a low growl, waiting for Matteo's opinion," Why are they acting jerks? We didn't have any issues with them."Matteo shook his head unknowingly, seeming too deep in thought," I don't know, Alpha Don but it seems like they are unhappy with something. You should visit their Alpha. If they keep blocking us, we will lose our collaborations."I clenched my jaw tight. I hated unnecessary wars. But after the death of my grandfather, I noticed that many of them didn't appreciate my position. Most of them claimed that I was too young and inexperienced to be an Alpha Don. With time, I proved them wrong.I gave my order to Matteo, lightening up a ci
|| ALEXIS's POV ||The question was left unheard of as she collapsed in my arms. For the first time, I was scared after years in the Mafia World. She was drowned in blood. Her pale face scared the shit out of me.I picked her up in my arms. Matteo shot one last glare at Fiona before running after me. She didn't open her eyes. A part of me tried to convince me that she was a Royal. Healing her wound was just a matter of time. But I was anxious and eager to see her fine.I called her a few times as I laid her on the bed," Elinda!! Elinda!"She remained unconscious. Matteo tried to comfort me, patting my back," Alpha Don! She will be fine. Give her wolf time to heal."I clenched my jaw hard and turned around furiously," Check the CCTV FOOTAGES. I want to know how she got in there."Something wasn't feeling right about the whole incident. Black monsters were always kept locked. They didn't act wild unless they were triggered and met any new faces. Matteo understood the assignment, head
|| ELINDA's POV ||Fiona shifted her attention to me. When she saw me standing, her face grew red in anger. She shouted at me, her eyes filling with hatred," YOU!! YOU DID THIS TO ME! YOU!! You whore..how dare you!"I was awestruck by her audacity. She accused me even after she did wrong to me. I didn't have the heart to let go of her. I replied with a twisted smile," Yes, I did seduce her. What can you do to me, Fiona?"She growled at me angrily. Her wolf died and she had no power left in her body. She sneered at me, her jealousy maddening her," HE DOESN'T EVEN CARE FOR YOU! It's all for your brother..and your title...He isn't interested in a low-class woman like you."I couldn't endure her insult anymore. In my impulse, I turned around and put my lips on his lips, pulling him into a hard kiss. It took him off guard but Alexis didn't push me away. Instead, he tried to deepen the kiss when reality kicked me hard. My wolf was tempted to go further. I pulled it back, breaking our kis
