Chapter One | The Bloody Meet Cute. ALENAIt's official, I'm lost. I can't believe I was stupid enough to lead those humans into my house. God! I really am gullible. At least, I wasn't dumb enough to stay.I'm starting to think that a sign that says “Kill Me" was engraved on my forehead when I was given birth to. I just can't fathom the fact that people are always looking for ways to end my life; first, every member of my pack was killed and now, they are out for my life.SOME HOURS AGO*****I went hunting for food when I heard someone cry out in pain, being the good Samaritan I am, I decided to help. That was the second greatest mistake I ever made in my life, next to leaving Lila. I followed the sound of grunting and it led me to the middle of a fight. The guy that was screaming for help was a badly wounded human. That would have probably set an alarm in any other werewolf's head because it was weird for humans to cross over to our realm, but being the idiot that I am, I took him h
CHAPTER TWO | THE INTRODUCTION ALENASunlight filters into my room and I lay my arm over my eyes with a groan. I woke up yesterday and found myself in a hospital bed. I was provided a meal and my wounds were treated. The medical staff was friendly and helpful. As I sit on the hospital bed wondering when I will be discharged, the doctor comes in and tell me that I'm good to go. I am confused, cause I don't exactly know where I am or where I am supposed to go next. So I ignore the doctor and don't move an inch.A petite maid comes in after the doctor leaves and asks me to follow her, apparently, by the Alpha's order. The poor girl keeps bowing down for me every five minutes. At first, I ignore it, but after the fifth bow, I ask her to stop. As we pass through the pack house, I notice that a lot of people keep staring at me and some even bowing down. I pay no mind to it, thinking that it's because I'm a new face in their pack, probably coupled with the fact that I look like death. Gin
CHAPTER THREE |THE REJECTION ERRORALENA I knew he was a high-ranking werewolf the moment our eyes connected back in the dungeon. The vibes emitting from him and his wolf screams power and authority, but never in my entire existence did I think that I would be mated to an Alpha, not less Alpha Nathan. Those eyes...I now remember those pair of sparkling green eyes, the same eyes that hunt my dream, the same eyes I hate, the eyes of my mate. The eyes of the person that is the cause of all my misery. I don't understand what crime I could have committed to make the moon goddess so cruel as to mate me with the same man that killed my family. What could I have possibly done to attract all this misfortune to myself? First, I get attacked by werewolf hunters, then I get kidnapped, tortured, and stabbed and now I find out that my mate is a monster. Apart from my personal issues with him, I've heard so many horrible things about the merciless and heartless Alpha of the Bloodmoon pack. I have
CHAPTER FOUR | THE FAILED ESCAPEALENAI Keep trembling even after he is gone. I am scared of the plan he had in mind for me. The real reason he didn't reject me. I stay still for a few minutes, trying to make my breathing even. When I'm no longer breathing like there is limited air for me and my heart is back at its regular beat, I heave out a sigh and sit upright. I leave the bed and start pacing the room, with my mind running in miles. I may not be in the dungeons anymore, but I'm still a prisoner. I need to get out of this goddess-forsaken house, and I need to do it fast.Alpha Nathan is a very unpredictable person, and I'm scared that he will change his mind and reject me, then kill me. I feel like the only reason I am still alive is that as mates, whatever he feels is what I feel and whatever I feel is what he feels. I know I need to be quiet about what I am about to do. If he finds out my plans, I'll lose even more of my freedom. I decide to stay in the confines of my room for
CHAPTER FIVE | THE INITIATION ALENAWe are on our way back to the pack house, I'm currently sitting as far away from Nathan as I can. The waves of anger rolling off him right now can make the bravest of men go crying home to their mommy. He hasn't said a word since we got into the car. I'm extremely scared right now. I feel like he's too busy cooking something evil up to scold me. I guess it's the calm before the storm. I try to distract myself by looking at things around me. I notice that a few slick cars are in our front and at our back. They seem to be Nathan's bodyguards. Gosh! This dude is extremely rich. I notice it the moment I regained consciousness. Anyone who has ever been into the pack house would know that the pack is a wealthy one. The clothes he wears alone basically scream wealth. I guess he couldn't have climbed up the ladder of Fame without wealth, he must have used his riches to win the hearts of a lot of Alphas and to become the most powerful Alpha in the world.
CHAPTER SIX | THE PUNISHMENTALENAIt's been two years since Nathan locked me up in the cell. My hair started falling out in the first year of my imprisonment. I look skeletal since I haven't been given anything to eat for years. I have lost all hope of seeing the sun again, I don't have much more time to live. I have given up on ever having anything to eat again, I...“Would you just shut the fuck up, we have only been here for a few hours. Stop being so fucking dramatic." my wolf angrily yells while rolling her wolfy eyes at me. Unbelievable, my own wolf is cursing at me, her owner. I know we have only been in here for a few hours, but I got bored and decided to entertain myself by being dramatic.“Are you not supposed to support me on this, our mate locked us up and all you are concerned about is my dramatics. I'm starting to think that you love our mate more than you love me." I reply out loud since no one else can hear me.“Of cause I love our mate more than you, he is my mate af
CHAPTER SEVEN | HEAT IS A BITCHALENA I wake up the next morning with an intense headache, I feel like my head is about to fall off my body. Too weak to stand up, I stay still on the straw bed hoping and praying Nathan would have changed his mind about keeping me locked up. I really don't feel good and the heat in the cell is making matters worse. I can't seem to pay attention to anything around me, all I can pay attention to is the uncomfortable heat I'm feeling right now. Sitting up, I let out a long sigh. My skin is sticky and hot, making me groan as I try to cool off. Tying my hair in a bun, I lean on the wall. I feel suffocated. The heat spreads through my body and I can feel my skin getting red. Soon, it becomes unbearable, causing me to shed my clothes. I feel suffocated and I try gasping for breaths. Though it is to no avail because I can't seem to catch my breath. Staying still for a few moments, I trying to get the heat off my mind, but alas, it was still all I can th
CHAPTER EIGHT | BAD MATE NATHANI knew my mate was in heat the moment I woke up this morning. I never wanted her to sleep in that fucking cell last night, I had it in mind to release her. I couldn't because I was called for an emergency meeting.Some stupid rogues thought they could break into my territory and do whatever the hell they wanted, It was only fair that I showed them why they shouldn't ever fuck with my pack. I really feel like an asshole for letting her experience her first heat in a cell. Scratch that, I know I am a fucking asshole. I have been treating her like shit since the moment she stepped into my territory. I knew my mate was in my territory the moment she stepped in, but since I already met her two years before, I also knew that she was the only offspring of Caleb and Ava king. Even with the knowledge that she was my mate, I still let her get treated like other rogues. Not exactly like order rogues though, I didn't kill her immediately, so I'll say I treated
CHAPTER NINETY | MISSING PIECE ALENAI am so glad that everything is finally over. At one point, I was scared Caleb King would kill Lila before we can stop him. We knew we would defeat him and his followers, but the fear of him hurting Lila and the rest of the pack members held us back. Even though Caleb King is dead, I still feel uneasy. I feel like there's a missing piece in the puzzle. Everything went so smoothly and easily...too smooth if you ask me. It was as if Caleb was willing to let us kill him. It shouldn't have been so easy to kill him. I asked Nathan to give me some time to think because one thing kept bothering my mind. Ben said someone already bought me before I was born, and the same person also bought Lila. Has the person given up on having us? The words Caleb King said to me while I was brutally stabbing him kept replaying in my head. He said, “Your enemies are always closer than you think." This means that whoever was helping him is a member of this pack.
CHAPTER EIGHTY-NINE | HAPPY ENDING? NATHANWe all watch Carson try to stab Caleb King with a needle I'm guessing is already drugged. Somehow, Caleb turns at the right time and holds Carson's hands. Shit, we are all so screwed. Carson quickly recovers from his shock and hits Caleb King in the face. “We need to help him," Lucinda screams, already running towards them. To our surprise, most of the rogues don't try to stop us they pave the way for us. I see we all have a common enemy. Caleb King shoots Carson in the leg. Fuck! We didn't even know the psycho has a fucking gun. He points the gun towards us, swinging it left and right. “Don't come closer. Don't you dare, it takes me nothing to kill every one of you within seconds." “Where are my guards? Does fucking traitors. I should have sold you bastards." He screams at the rogues who cower in fear. I see what is going on. They are not willingly working for him, he has something on them. He roughly picks Lila's body off the
CHAPTER EIGHTY-EIGHT | THE PLAN ALENAWe have been waiting for the guys to come back for almost five minutes. They were never supposed to take this long. I don't know why they were not back yet. If I hadn't destroyed my and Nathan's mate's bond with humans drug, then I would have been able to tell if he is in danger or not. “Don't you guys think the boys are taking too long? They were only supposed to check if Fallssy is alive and find information from him." I ask Queen Tess and Lucinda. “They will be fine, Alena. Just calm down." Lucinda assures me. “But...what if, I don't know. What if this is a sort of setup or something?" “They will be fine princess." Queen Tess says. I nod my head at her, not knowing how to respond. I have been feeling weird around them since the moment I discovered that they are my real parents. I just can't seem to stomach the fact that I have been living a life built on lies. All my life, I thought I was Alena King, and then suddenly, I am told I am s
CHAPTER EIGHTY-SEVEN | TRACKED NATHAN“Have you found anything yet?" I desperately ask Carson. “If I had found something, I would have fucking told you. Get the fuck off my back you piece of shit." Carson hisses. I don't blame him for talking to me that way, neither am I angry. If I were in his situation, I would have probably killed someone in frustration. We have been trying to track the bracelet down since yesterday afternoon. We haven't found anything. Since Carson is the only one that can handle a computer well enough to track something down, he had to stay up all night, while the others went to sleep. Of course, I stayed up with him...for about one hour. I got tired of watching him type meaningless shit and stare at kids' doodles, so I fell asleep. Carson was not one bit impressed with our attitude. He has been cranky and giving us an attitude since we joined him today. It isn't helping that I keep asking him if he has found anything every ten minutes. “I don't get this
CHAPTER EIGHTY-SIX | FURIOUS...SAD...VIOLATED NATHAN Alena was also a fucking victim. Only the goddess knows what she went through in Caleb King's hands. This news can break her. “How am I fucking sure that everything you just told me is the fucking truth?" I whisper. “Have I ever lied to you? What would I or the leaders of the Black Shadow Pack gain from deceiving you? We both know that the resemblance between Alena and Queen Tess can't be ignored." I nod my head and silently leave the office, not saying anything. The only thing I am able to think about is the pain Alena must have gone through. She was never the bad guy, Caleb King was only using her, right from the fucking beginning. It is then that I remember Alena telling me something about her mother teaching her how to please men. Was that why they taught her that? So that she would be sold when she gets older. I am headed back to the pack hall to call my mate when I run into my mate. “Hey. The party was getting bori
CHAPTER EIGHTY-FIVE | THE TRUTH ABOUT ALENA KINGNATHAN “Leave," I order them. “Please, Nathan, hear us out." Queen Tess begs, her eyes watering. “You want me to hear you out? After how many years? You accused my father of kidnapping a daughter that never existed in the first place. Then, you helped Caleb King in kidnapping my mother and younger sister, raided our pack, and cut all fucking ties with us. You want me to hear you out, did you listen to what my dad had to say?" I whisper-yell. “We never helped Caleb King in kidnapping your Mother or Sister." Alpha Kade frowns. “You said you will do something we all will regret if we don't release your daughter in three days. Three days later, my mother and sister were nowhere to be found. That could not have been a fucking coincidence." Ben gives me a look that screams, ‘Stop acting like a petty bitch and let them talk.' In response, I give him the middle finger. “Look, I swear on the throne of the moon goddess, I had nothing to d
CHAPTER EIGHTY-FOUR | THE BLACK SHADOW PACKNATHANI invited some people over, there is someone you have to meet. “You said you just found out who my mate really is. I am not interested in meeting anyone, I just want to know the information you got about my mate." I respond. “It will make a lot more sense when they get here, just calm down. Alena is not who we think she is." Ben replies, slowly walking away from us. Oh, my goddess! What the fuck has Alena done again? If she killed someone else or has been lying to me about cutting off all the ties she has with her father, then I will have no choice but to kill her. I just hope it isn't what I'm thinking. Nervously, I wait for Ben and the so-called guests, while Carson goes off to get properly dressed. Apparently, the new guests might come with his mate or even be his mate, he wants her to fall in love with him immediately. After waiting for half an hour, I become tired and bored. Seems like the guests are running fucking late.
CHAPTER EIGHTY-THREE | THE RETURN OF DELTA BENJAMINNATHAN“I can't believe you made them kick us out." Alena hisses, hitting me on the shoulder. “It was fucking worth it. The look of embarrassment on your face made me ignore the anger of the Doctor disrespecting his Alpha." I laugh. Alena looks around, and unintentionally starts fidgeting. The stares she is getting are making her uncomfortable. After our...umm...adventure in the hospital room yesterday, the Doctor kicked us out of the hospital and promised not to let us in unless it is very urgent. I would have been furious if not for Alena's reaction. We went back to our room after and continued with no interruptions. We spent the rest of the day in there and didn't come out till the evening of the next day. I think I have forgiven her, but my subjects hate her. I got a call from Gamma Ralph first thing this morning, informing me of Lucinda and Delta Benjamin's arrival. We decided to hold a welcome-back party for the Delta
CHAPTER EIGHTY-TWO | POURING EVERYTHING OUTALENAMy pulse hammers against my skin as Nathan moves to the door and closes it while staring at me with his piercing eyes. “Tell me, babe, how do you feel after everything you have done?" He inquires. I know my answer should be that I feel guilty and horrible, but the only thing I am feeling right now is extremely turned on. “I asked you a fucking question." Fuck! If I thought I was wet before, I am definitely drenched now. I don't think the panties I'm wearing would ever dry after this. “I...I...don't fucking know." I barely manage to get my words out. Nathan scoffs and shakes his head, walking closer to me. Nervously and excitedly, I get off the hospital bed, standing a few steps away from him. “You have been helping your dad right? Do you know how many werewolves lost their family members for something they know nothing about? Do you know how many he and she wolves lost their mate? All because of being a daddy girl?" He mocks ag
