|| 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,

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.

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

    Chapter 56|| ALEXIS'S POV ||The evening air in the distant woods was thick with quiet, broken only by the whispering trees looming above me.I had not been here in years. The woods were alive with memories—some precious, some haunted.The elders waited. My only remaining blood relatives—my grandfather and his three uncles—were fierce werewolves, men who had seen centuries and the collapse of empires. Their home, built of old stone and wood, was secreted in a clearing like a forgotten secret only time remembered.After loosing my family, they were the only family that I had left. Honestly, I hated this meeting because they seemed to put all hopes on me. I felt like a burden sometimes.The scent of seared meat and herbs drifted into my nose long before I stepped inside. Even if this was a serious meeting, the elders still had their ways. Supper first. Question later. I could feel that something was going on their minds. The worse part was that I couldn't hear their thoughts like others

    Chapter 55|| ELINDA's POV ||The following morning, the sun crept in through the window, casting golden streaks on the wooden cottage floor. I had not slept much, my mind still weighed down by everything that had happened in the North. The argument with Alberto, the slap, Alexis's declaration that I was his—it all lingered in my mind like a haunted melody that would not fade. I had not seen Alexis since we got back to the island. He'd retreated to his study, as he typically did following angry shouting matches. I didn't push.A tap at the door startled me. My heart skipped a beat as I called out, "Yes?"The door opened and one of the guards stood before me. "Lady Elinda, your brother Alberto has come."Alberto? My heart skipped a beat, and I stood up hastily, smoothing my dress and dabbing at my reflection. I had not seen him in what seemed like forever. For all that, Alberto was a breath of peace—one of the few people who made me feel loved.I rushed to the principal lounge, where

    Chapter 54|| ALEXIS'S POV ||I said nothing to Elinda. Not where I was going, not why I'd left early this morning, and of course not about the hole that had been in my stomach ever since the call. The moment Alpha Killian made the suggestion that something was not entirely normal with her foster father's death, I knew I needed to witness it myself.Ireland was colder than I remembered. Not in weather, but in mood. The skies were clouded, and the wind moaned as if lamenting something painful. When I came to the house—Elinda's childhood home—I halted at the gate, my boots crunching over pebbles. It looked normal at first glance, too normal. That alone was unnerving.Killian met me at the porch. He had already secured the place, making sure the rest of the pack members remaining in Ireland wouldn't interfere with us. I nodded in gratitude and went in.I breathed deeply. The air would have been filled with smells—blood, fear, anger, something. But nothing. Nothing at all."This doesn't m

I was in my bed, trying to rock myself to sleep, but something felt off. Just as I was drifting off into a light sleep, my phone buzzed violently on the nightstand.I responded groggily, taken aback to see my foster father's number on the screen. A warm sense of familiarity comforted me, and then fear. Why would he be calling me at this hour? "Dad?" I replied, sitting up.He had been too lonely after loosing my mother, his soulmate. I felt sorry to leave him alone but I knew that I would only bring danger for him.There was no voice. What I heard instead were muffled noises, furniture being pushed around, feet shuffling frantically, and… shouting."Dad? Dad, are you there?" I said again, this time louder.And then I heard it.A blood-curdling scream. Followed by the recognizable thud of something hitting flesh. Over and over.My heart dropped. I tightened

    Chapter 52|| Elinda's POV ||The ship was late that night, the familiar shape of the island emerging from the darkness. A wave of exhaustion swept over me, but it was at once overwhelmed by the burning anger that had been simmering in my chest ever since Alexis told me to give up modeling."Strict orders, Elinda," he'd said, his voice absolute, leaving no room for discussion. "No more modeling. Ever."I stormed into my room and closed the door behind me, locking it. Who was he to interfere with my life? I paced across the room, my head reeling with anger and helplessness. I had wasted too much of my life under others' command. By the foster system, by the Royal Family, and now by Alexis. I was not a puppet to be controlled by him at his whim.My phone rang on the nightstand, snapping me out of my thoughts. I picked it up and recognized a familiar name on the screen—Anna. My heart tightened. I hadn't spoken to her in so long."Elinda?" Anna's voice was gentle but urgent. "You need to

"Do you have any idea what kind of people could've been there? Do you even know the danger you put yourself in?"Elinda crossed her arms, her own temper flaring. "Oh, now you care about what happens to me?" she retorted. "You're okay with running around with murderers and gangsters, but I step in front of a camera and that's the ultimate sin? Give me a break, Alexis!"My jaw tightened. "It's different, and you know it. I'm born into this. I don't have a choice!""That's the biggest lie you've ever told yourself!" she cried. "You do have a choice. You could have walked away, but instead, you cling to it! You prefer this violent, risky life to anything else!"I took a step forward, towering over her. "And what do you want me to do, Elinda? Run away with my tail between my legs? Give it all up? Be weak

    Chapter 50|| ELINDA'S POV ||I already knew I could sense the power of his gaze even before I had turned. The moment I saw the photo in his hands, my heart thumped madly against the ribcage. There I was—the one wearing a stunning black ensemble, the light of the studios providing a calming gloss to my features. The picture was one of the better ones from that shoot months ago when Alexis had ushered me into this world.But it wasn't the picture itself that sent me shivers down to my icy core. It was the look on which the man who held it looked at me—like I was some treasure he'd spent years looking for, and now that he'd found me, he was not going to let me go."This is you, isn't it?" His voice was smooth, but there was a definite bite to it. He moved closer, his hands curling around the edges of the picture. "I knew it when I saw you."I exhaled sharply, trying to keep my face neutral. "I don't know what you're talking about."His mouth curled into a self-satisfied smile. "Don't li

Considering what had transpired today, I had expected her to lash out at me, to blame me like she often did. She hadn't. She had defended me, something she never did. And that strange feeling in my chest—it was unsettling. I needed to see her, to at least acknowledge what had happened.I breathed deeply and opened the door and entered. The room was shaded, moonlight streaming in through the balcony doors that had been left open. Elinda was standing in it, facing away from me, staring into the distance. Her hair spilled down her back, blowing gently with the breeze."Elinda," I spoke softly.She didn't respond. "What do you want, Alexis?" Her tone was icy, distant.I stood up with her, resting my hands on the railing. "I wanted to thank you.""For what?" she said, not glancing at me."For not throwing me unde

    Chapter 48|| Alexis's POV ||The air was thick with the smell of sweat and blood as we moved toward the old warehouse.Marcus stood next to me, silent but tense, his hand curled around the grip of his knife. The others followed behind, their footsteps light on the cracked pavement.We moved with ease, like ghosts in the night.I had waited for hours. Hours of stalking, of searching, of the anger searing within me like a burning flame.They took her.And now, they would pay.Marcus breathed softly, "Guards at the door—two of them."I nodded. Amateurs.Before they could even move, my men were on them, snapping their necks in a minute.The corpses fell to the ground silently.We slid inside.The faint light flickered off the metal walls. It was damp, suffocating. And then, center of the room, sitting like royalty upon her throne of devastation, was her.Layana.She looked just as I'd remembered—razor sharp angles, eyes a piercing green, and a confidence that danced the border of madness.
