The room is silent for a bit.Tina walks back to Liam, taking his hand in hers. "Whatever she has to say, I'm sure I can hear it as well. We are mates...""Soon to be mates, Tina."His response makes me frown. Hasn't he marked her already? Why is he pretending like he has not?I ignore whatever this means and wait for their discussion to end."Yes, Liam. Soon to be. That's why we shouldn't hide-""Go out, Tina. We'll talk later." Liam sounds exasperated. I watch as Tina nods stiffly before walking in my way, making sure to shove my shoulder before she leaves.The alpha and I remain quiet for a while after she's gone."What do you want?" Liam asks, turning to look at me. The lights of the lanterns make him look mysterious; like a treasure you could only see but never have.Exactly what he is to me.I seethe internally and swallow my pride and hate. "I think you know, Liam...Alpha."Before he can get a chance to speak, I get on my knees as I planned; and bow my head so it touches the g
I don't know what to say so I keep quiet.What is he getting at? If he is trying to seduce me, then it won't work. My mind is very much occupied with my predicaments here."I don't care," I tell him plainly, seething. "All I want is my friends' safety. Nothing more. I can't care less if you derive some stupid pleasure from this. I really can't."I raise my hand to wipe my tears and steady my breathing."You want me to free those rogues." Liam states."Yes. I do.""So what do I tell the elders that have judged them? That I freed trespassers for the sake of a whore I'm supposed to kill?"I let out a short, snappy laugh. "It's either you free them or you put me on death row too. I would never want to live with that guilt. They did nothing...they didn't even know this was your pack territory. How is that their fault?"Liam tries to approach me again but I raise a hand. "Please don't.""I will free them." He says and I look up at him in slight disbelief. I never expected him to agree so su
I hate the dress Liam sends me. It's an emerald green with tiny gem stones all around it. It's open at the back, has barely there arm straps and two slits so high my panties might just show.I oil my hair so it shines and rub rogue color on my lips and cheeks. There's a jewelry set he sent as well.I'm just done with my look when I hear a knock at the door.It's a maid. One that stays in the omega and ordinary pack house. She looks at me in disbelief but regains herself almost immediately."The alpha has sent for you," she says and I nod my head slightly, shutting the door in her face.For the next moment, I steel my nerves and try to put on the most pleasing face I can muster. I use the mirror as a guide but settle on just keeping my face straight.Nothing was funny about the evening.As expected, the entire Silver Moon grounds is full of chit chat. The rival pack must be very important for everyone to be at such an edge today.As I leave the omega house, eyes follow me as though I
As the Red Grove Alpha's son kisses my ear, I sight my mate in the crowd behind him.Liam's eyes are hard. He's supposed to be in a conversation with a group but his eyes are fixated on me.And no, it's not to make sure I'm doing my job well- there's pure envy in his eyes.For some odd reason, that turns me on.Liam's looking straight into my eyes as Miles whispers into my ear. I smile a soft, calm smile and blink at him."Let us dance," I say to Miles, grabbing his neck. He agrees and we take to the dance floor. A slow, sultry music is playing and I begin to dance.I've always been a dancer. At least when I was still free, living from rogue camp to the other.Now is the perfect time to use this skill. I begin to dance, moving my hips to the beat. I keep my eyes on Miles but every now and then, I look at Liam. He has not stopped looking at me once. I make sure to twirl as seductively as I can, piercing him with my gaze.At some point, he loosens his collars as though hot.Miles and I
Liam makes me feel what I shouldn't feel for a man like him.He's infuriating and I couldn't hate him more. Why then is he this irresistible? Why then can I not push him away?His lips pulsate around my nipple, making the bud to grow and tense.I'm squirming, unable to move, unable to make him fuck me already.He wants me to beg, I see it in the way he slows and increases his tempo, in the way he makes a knowing eye contact.He wants me to admit that I am his.But that's the thing.I'm not...and I don't want to be.My whole life, I spent running from pack wolves. There's no way I'd submit to one. I'm doing this to save my own life- soon I'll be out of here, after the deal.I can never be Alpha Liam's.Not ever.I moan and sigh under his hot fondling, never begging him for more even though I so badly need that.The truth is- whether I beg him or not, he'd trip. I know he would.And he does.He kisses his way back to my lips, leaving my boobs shiny from his saliva and red from his sucki
Tina's claws are drawn: long as my forearms. Her dark eyes glow with anger and she's fuming visibly.Behind her, are some of her friends who I recognize as my bullies. Rachel, the girl who attacked me because Liam killed her warrior brother, is among them.I gulp and scramble to stand up.A swift slap makes me collapse to the ground again. I groan in pain.I was barely awake before but now, I am very alert. My cheek feels like it's bruising."Where is he..." she whispers harshly. The sun has just come up so I'm shrouded in warmth. I'm sweating now, unable to understand what she wants."Liam?" I ask, frowning. Before I can utter another word, Tina delivers a kick to my back. Her strength is great and I hear my bones creak in agony."Ahhh!""I'll ask again! Where is Liam?!" Her friends have surrounded me. I'm like an ant at the mercy of their boots..I bitterly chuckle. "How am I supposed to know that? You should know, princess."This pisses her off and the blonde haired wolf crouches ov
I can hear their footsteps behind me, heavy and determined. The wolves of this pack, fueled by their loyalty to Liam and their disdain for me, close in. But I won't let them catch me. Not when I have so little time to find him.The forest ahead offers me a chance. The trees are dense, and the shrubs thick, but I don't stop to think. My legs move faster than my thoughts, my heart pounding against my chest, desperate to keep going.I don't know where Liam is. I don't know if he's alive or if he's been taken. But I do know one thing: I can't sit around waiting for someone to come to my rescue. If Liam's in danger, I need to be the one to find him. I need to be the one to save him. My wolf was clawing at me in despair."Stop!" a voice calls from behind me. The pack members are relentless. But I won't stop. If they catch me, I'll be trapped, and I can't afford that.The trees blur past me as I sprint, my breath ragged, my mind focused on nothing but the need to escape and the need to find
My heart pounds in my chest as I push through the dense forest, my breath ragged. The sound of branches snapping underfoot is the only thing that fills my ears. I tried to focus my hearing for that familiar growl again but it was futile.I keep running making use of both my eyes and ears, if his growl was that low and able r reach my hearing he must be close by. I felt my wolf urge me to move faster, she was in pain.I stop for a moment, catching my breath. The sun cast à high shadow on the ground through the trees. And then I see it, a little cave, it was easy to miss but not when the efficiency of both of my senses were in fight or flight mode. Suddenly, I hear it. The sound of footsteps. Heavy, deliberate steps. I freeze, my heart stopping.Before I can react, strong arms grab me from behind. I struggle, but my body is slammed into the cold, unforgiving earth."Where do you think you're going, Gwen the dancer?" a voice sneers above me.I look up, Miles.The young Alpha of the Red
The healer's words replay in my head as I walk back to the omega house, Helen trailing silently behind me. "Two days if she must conceive." The phrase gnaws at my mind like a persistent thorn. My relief at not being pregnant is quickly overshadowed by the knowledge that I'm not free yet.Freedom is so close I can taste it, but it's also slipping through my fingers.Helen clears her throat behind me, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Do you want me to fetch you anything? Food, maybe?"I glance over my shoulder at her, startled by the offer. Kindness is rare here, especially directed toward me. Suspicion creeps in, but I push it down. She seems genuine, and I'm too drained to dissect her intentions right now."No, thank you," I say, my voice hollow.She nods, her gaze darting to the ground before she scurries off, leaving me alone.As I reach my room, I lock the door behind me and slump against it, closing my eyes. My body feels heavy, weighed down by exhaustion and the relentless ache
I don't move from the spot I'm in on the floor. My hair is a disheveled mess, I'm sure my face is red from crying.He stands at the doorway looking unsure. For the first time, the almighty Alpha Liam of Silver Moon doesn't have words to say.He shuts the door behind him and tentatively comes towards me. Of all things I expect him to do; he lowers himself to sit beside me on the floor.It's dark outside and I have not lit any lanterns in my room.His green eyes glow subtly - anytime his wolf has the best of him, they do that.For a while, we sit in silence. Me with my broken spirit and Liam with his discomfort "Gwen-""Will you let me go then? Now that Tina is pregnant?" I don't give him a chance to deceive me into staying here. Sure, Tina might not produce a fated mate heir but she was strong. An alpha's daughter.Her blood would be good enough for the pack.With that, there was nothing left for me here."What do you mean? Tina's pregnant?"Liam must be an actor. He sounds so true
We stare at each other for just a moment. It's like time has come to a standstill. This pack wolf; this man who I absolutely despised.If not for the fear of being accused wrongly, I wonder if I'd have gone searching for him.Deep down, even though I try to ignore it, I know I would have.My wolf had been scared not for my life but for his.I gulp and blink. Liam looks away and his face turns stern again. Before he can address the gathering crowd, something flies at him.He catches this person and whisks them into a small spin.It's Tina. She grabs my mate's neck and weeks into his body. "I-I...I was so scared...oh, Liam..." she whispers.I stand there awkwardly, instantly remembering my place. Liam did not protect me for any reason but the fact that I will be his heir's vessel. That's all I am and ever will be.I look away from them and my eyes immediately clash with a familiar face.The warrior that had almost caught me."Alpha Liam, you cannot just defend a rogue like this. You
