|| ALEXIS's POV ||" Why are you looking for him? I must remind you, Alpha Don, that killing the Alpha will cause problems for us."Matteo groaned, watching me going through the details of Alpha Austin. He was the one who gifted Elinda the wine. Alpha Austin was part of the ministry, the youngest to be on the team. Even though Albert had asked me to stay away from him, I was doing my research.Matteo saw through my mind. He questioned, watching me absorb my thoughts," Since the prince doesn't want it, why are you pushing yourself into this matter, Alpha Don?"I had no answer for that. My mind couldn't forget the image of Elinda when she saw death so close to her. Her expression was imprinted in my mind. I couldn't forget it nor did I know the silly concern behind my behavior. I lied, finding out significant details about Alpha Austin that amused me," Protecting her is my responsibility. I just want to be extra cautious."Lies! I wished to bury that scum!Matteo didn't question anymo
" He has started a war...for you ...."Alessio whispered into my ear, snapping me out of my thoughts. I stared at the mess in the room. Seth had butchered a few of the werewolves, roaring like a lion. He seemed like he had lost his consciousness.I swallowed the fear in my heart. I didn't know why Alessio believed that I could calm the mad Alpha. I observed Seth for a while. His eyes were glowing like the sunlight, a burning anger riding through his veins. My heart flew out of my chest in fear. I turned to Alessio, already giving up on the decision," I can't... Perhaps I will die but I can't do this shit."I tried to walk away from there but Alessio gripped me back in my position. He looked deep into my eyes, pleading and begging so brokenly," Please...He won't hurt you. You are carrying his child. Your child can calm him down. He has already done enough harm. Don't let him do it again."I couldn't ignore the plea in his voice. Letting out a sigh, I looked back into the room and mus
" You called for me?"Silvia spoke, peering her head through the door. She still didn't understand the fact that she had all the damn rights to walk through my office. I liked how she didn't feel desired for the position of Luna.I hummed softly, closing down the trading sheet that Alessio gave me," Yes, come inside."Silvia walked in, my eyes subconsciously falling on her belly. She had started to show her baby bump. Although all was forced on her, it made me so damn proud that my hair was growing inside her belly. She took the seat in front of me, her eyes resting on me curiously," Anything important?"I expelled a long sigh, preparing myself for the worst. I broke the news slowly, waiting for her reaction," You are coming with me to a ball tonight as my female companion."Surprise flickered in her eyes. She gulped before asking with a tight jaw," Means? As your mistress or girlfriend or what, Alpha?"My jaw clenched tight at her question. It annoyed me since my heart had no ans
There was a thick silence lingering between us. I waited for his answer, a whole eternity passing between us. Xander didn't speak for a good moment until he burst into laughter. His laughter was insulting and humiliating. He spoke with mockery," Do you believe that you hold the honor of giving birth to my child, Carissa? A murderer like you?"He grasped my jaw the following moment. I let out a choke, frightened under the weight of his killing eyes. I reasoned, taking all the pressure from him," I...I...I was born in Blood Moon..I have the ability ...I do.. I.."Xander's gaze darkened with confusion. He let go of my chin, reconsidering the offer that I made to him. We stayed silent for a while before he spoke with gruff," If you wish to repay, there is only one way."I was prepared for the worst. Looking back at my pack's condition, there was nothing left to save them anymore. My father had become reckless but I couldn't afford to lose anymore because of me. I urged him to speak, me
The invitation from my father, the former king, stirred a tempest of emotions within me, a maelstrom of anger and unresolved grievances that had lingered for years. The moonlit night hung heavy with anticipation as I made my way to the designated meeting place. Shadows clung to the corners of my thoughts, and the echoes of the past reverberated with every step.As I approached, my father stood in the moonlit clearing, a figure from my tumultuous history. His features, weathered by time and the weight of the crown he had once worn, held a veneer of authority that rankled against the currents of my defiance."Kai," he uttered, a measured acknowledgment of the son he had long been estranged from.I met his gaze with a fire that burned in the depths of my eyes. "What do you want?" The words, laced with the bitterness of years gone by, hung in the air like an unspoken challenge.He sighed, a weary exhale that seemed to carry the burden of a fractured bond. "I've called you here to discuss
|| ELINDA's POV ||" Where did your Don disappear for days?"I questioned Matteo in a tone of sarcasm. He cast me a hateful glare before answering coldly," That's not your concern, Princess. He is our Alpha Don, not some jobless princess."I took that insult personally. Indeed I was the most useless person here because I got nothing to do. Before entering my Royal family, I had a life and dream. I wanted to gift my parents. That life was sweet and simple until my earlier shelf was torn down.I scoffed at his reply, dropping the magazine aside to walk back to my room," I would have done a better job if I was him."Matteo never liked me for some reason. It was his Don who rejected our bond. He behaved like I was the one who was responsible for everything. I didn't see Alexis for days. After the murder of Alpha Austin, he disappeared again. I didn't miss him but I didn't like the way he vanished without telling me anything.I kept my curiosity reserved for the time being. The days were
|| ELINDA's POV ||Mona jumped up in shock, her voice trembling," What.. what do you want from me, Princess?"She could pretty much guess I was going to ask something forbidden. I gave her a sheepish smile, my words turning sweet as much as possible," Just for two days! I need to get out of here,Mona. I want to travel in Kanada."Mona moved on the other side of the room in a record time. She kept shaking her head without hearing any explanation," No..No...No way, Princess. Alpha Don has strictly told me to accompany you. You aren't allowed to leave the Island."A frustrated growl left my lips. I was expecting the same reaction from her. Standing on my feet, I used her own words to manipulate her. I placed my hands on her shoulder, showing a friendly gesture to ease her," Mona, I have a second plan as well. You promised your Don not to leave my side, right? Why don't you go with me then? I promise that we will come back in two days. Please Mona. Let me fulfill my dream. You are a g
|| ALEXIS'S POV ||" You have sold my cure without my permission. How do you answer that, Alpha Zake?"I had never been in such rage recently. Our secrets were in threat. For years, I was doing this business with Albert. No one had dared to go against me. When Matteo informed me, I was determined to finish this bastard by myself.Alpha Zake wiped sweat from his face. He didn't expect to be exposed so soon. He tried to explain, his words stuttering," Alpha Don..I didn't mean to..he threatened..aaahhh..."Matteo cracked his neck down before he could explain anything. I sold my Lycan injection to him a year ago. It was my joint business with Albert. We sold it only to the trustworthy group under a legal contract. Whoever broke the contract, they had to pay for it with their lives.I threw a kick on his face, his legs falling down," BASTARD!! You sold the injection to my enemy and you claim it as a mistake? SUBMIT YOUR WHOLE PACK TO ME!"Alpha Zake had sold our injection to Alpha Justin
|| ELINDA's POV ||" I guess, we are here!"I rechecked the address again and again. It was all the same but Mona was scared to death. She was shaking like a leaf and for the goddess's sake, I was quite impressed with her plan.We disguised ourselves with the staff that brought food to the Island. No one even doubted us eloping since we were in their company's uniform. Mona came up with this idea and we came to Kanada without any drama.Mona shook my hand, her body still quivering in fear," Princess! What if they track us? I am really scared of the Alpha Don!"I assured her gently, my focus laying on my shoot," Ssssh! He isn't here and will be back in a few days. Let's not waste our time. The team is on the fifth floor."I dragged Mona with me on the second floor. They welcomed me warmly and I felt a bit overwhelmed to receive their greetings. I was completely new into this modeling industry but their attitude never overshadowed me.The manager shared the details with me. I gave Mon
