" 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
|| ELINDA's POV ||The makeup suited me well. I had an emerald necklace around my neck. The Jewel and my lipstick combined well together. I had a diva aura flourishing from my body.Mona admired me in awe and amazement. She gasped when they were done with my final look. The crew was here to guide the way. The manager was a young lady who couldn't stop talking," Oh my gosh! You look fabulous, darling! I wish that you were my permanent model."I refused politely, wearing a grateful smile," I feel the same, Miss Martha. But I am not taking modeling seriously."Martha kept talking about how they lived my aura. We chatted so much that I didn't notice when we strode upstairs through the elevator. Martha said excitedly, heading us to the photoshoot room," Here are your partners. Alpha Zade will love this shoot. He may give you big offers in the future."I heard from the makeup artists that the company was owned by Alpha Zade and his sister. They were least interested in this company and g
" Strip Now!!"His raging voice evaporated against the noises of werewolves, screaming around the valley. Seraya couldn't see anything except smoke around her pack house, the begging of women, and children's cries. Her ignorance towards his command was only pushing his rage to the edge. No one ever dared to humiliate her in that way. " I said, STRIP!!", the command came with a loud whip on her back, forcing her knees to fall on the ground.Rafe Sullivan Anderson held the chain high, his eyes gleaming in deep rage and hatred toward the woman on the ground. Seraya coughed lightly at the smoke, flaring her nostrils to travel into her stomach. Her tears blurred in tears, her wolf refusing to submit but she figured out that her disobedience would turn everything worse.Her beloved ' The Moon Eyed ' pack was under attack by the most ferocious, cruel pack on earth ' The Night Howlers Pack '. Even if she fought with her all night, she wouldn't be able to save anyone. She clutched the hard so
The next day dawned with an air of anticipation that hung over the castle like a thick veil. Excitement permeated the corridors, and the usual hustle and bustle seemed amplified. The source of this fervor was palpable—the impending arrival of Isabella's child, the next generation of Alphas. As I navigated the castle's bustling halls, I couldn't escape the wave of jubilation that engulfed every corner.Former Alpha and Luna, adorned in regal attire, exchanged smiles and congratulations with the pack members. The maids, once familiar faces in my daily life, moved about with a newfound energy, their conversations laced with excitement about the prospect of an heir.Amidst the celebratory atmosphere, I felt a stark contrast—a gnawing emptiness that seemed to grow with each passing moment. The weight of my status as a slave pressed upon me, exacerbating the ache of exclusion. I moved through the castle like a phantom, invisible in the sea of anticipation.Former Luna, her eyes gleaming wit
The news of Isabella's pregnancy reached me through the insidious whispers of the maids, their mocking tones slicing through the air like an unseen dagger. The revelation struck me with an unexpected force, a blend of hurt and betrayal settling in the pit of my stomach. How could my mates, Dominico and Zavier, keep such a significant development from me? As the realization dawned, I decided to confront Isabella, seeking answers to the questions that threatened to unravel the fragile threads of trust.The castle corridors echoed with the soft padding of my footsteps as I made my way to Isabella's chambers. The flickering torches cast shadows that seemed to dance along the walls, mirroring the tumultuous emotions that churned within me. Isabella's door loomed ahead, and I took a steadying breath before knocking.The door swung open, revealing Isabella's smirking visage. "Well, well, if it isn't Cassendra, the overlooked one," she taunted, her tone dripping with mockery.I squared my sho
|| DIEGO'S POV ||The night was heavy, cloaked in an oppressive silence that pressed against my ears as I paced in my chamber. Diana was late. She’d insisted we meet, demanded it, really, with the same fiery determination that had once drawn me to her. Now, that fire only irritated me, a spark I wanted snuffed out.The doors swung open, and there she was, her expression smug, confident. She didn’t even wait for me to speak. “We need to finalize the date, Diego. Enough of your stalling.”I clenched my fists, the heat of anger rising in my chest. “You’re insistent, aren’t you?” I said, my voice calm but laced with venom.Her eyes narrowed. “I’ve waited long enough. You made promises, Diego. Promises to me.”“I made promises in a moment of weakness,” I snapped, stepping closer to her. “A mistake I’ve regretted ever since.”Her laugh was sharp, cutting through the air. “Regretted? Is that what you’re calling it now? You think you can walk away from this? From me?”I stalked forward, forci

|| ELINDA's POV ||I gave my best smile even though I was shaking inside. All I could pray was that Alexis wasn't going to create a scene here. I smiled at the camera without paying attention to his murderous eyes. On the other hand, Mona was on the verge of collapsing.Alpha Zade introduced everything to Alexis enthusiastically," I was talking about this company. It's shoot day here. Would you like to go down, Alpha Don? They aren't so famous models."Alexis responded coldly, his eyes lingering on the man who was applying makeup on my chest," Indeed they aren't. I would like to see the shoot,Alpha. You may go."I gulped hard at his words. They could have just avoided my existence. But Alexis did the opposite. He took the chair and sat aside like a good audience. I felt the air in my stomach stuck in fear. His eyes never left mine and the possibility of breaking down was close.I hardly remembered how long I stood for the shoot. By the time, I was done, the choreographer gave me his
