Chapter 2

Alexander POV

I have arrived at the Blood Moon Pack, there will be a ceremony to crown a new Alpha in the pack. That's not the real reason I'm here. Every year I go to all the packs trying to find my destined mate so that there will be a werewolf queen.

I don't care much if I find her or not, but my wolf (Derek) wants to find her anyway. I tried to convince him a lot to marry any girl from the Kingdom, but he completely rejected the idea.

"That's right, I will never agree to this. We will find our mate, and she will be the queen of the werewolves." As usual, Derek tries to impose his opinion...

"This year will be the last year that I will search for her. I have been doing this for eight years. My search was in vain. When the cursed moon appears this year, I will marry any girl from the kingdom, and I do not want any objection." I know this will make Derek sad and angry, but there is no other solution...

I saw Lucian, the one who would be crowned the Alpha of the pack. He was coming at full speed towards me. He bowed down to me and was trembling. I could feel his fear. I used to feel this fear from everyone when they stood in front of me. “Excuse me, Your Majesty. I thought you would come tomorrow, so there is no reception ceremony now. Please excuse me for this, Your Majesty.”

That's right, I was supposed to come tomorrow, but something inside me kept telling me to come here as quickly as possible. I don't know why I listened to this voice inside me, but I came.

“There is no need for this stupid ceremony. I don’t care much about it, and the kingdom and all the flocks belong to me in the end. I can come whenever I want.” I could feel his fear increasing with every word I spoke. “Now get out of my way.”

As I move forward, I feel like something is building inside me. I feel my heartbeat increasing as I go deeper into the herd. There is a smell that gets stronger with time, a smell that makes me yearn to know its source.

I arrived at the palace and I was not thinking. I was just following the smell. Many people were standing in front of me and bowing to me. I started looking around and looking at everyone present and trying to find out who the owner of the smell was. My wolf was so agitated inside me, so happy, I knew it was the scent of my valued mate. I was hoping she would be a member of the royal family, but it looks like she will be part of that flock.

She is not one of the people standing here. I sighed quietly, trying to calm down, and to make Derek calm down as well, "Is there someone in the palace who is not among those standing here?"

“Welcome, Your Majesty. You have honored our flock with your presence. I am Sandra, and you can depend on me for anything you want, Your Majesty.” One of the girls spoke, and she looked exactly like a prostitute in her behavior and the way she spoke.

“My question was very clear. I did not ask you to introduce yourself or say anything.”

That girl began to tremble with fear and tried to speak, but her tongue was already tied.

“I apologize, Your Majesty. She is just a stupid girl. She cannot know when to be silent or to speak.” Lucien bowed to me, trying to remedy the situation but damn it, I don’t care now. All I want to know is where my mate is!

“Have everyone in the palace appear before me immediately,” I said in a king’s tone.

“Everyone is already here, Your Majesty.” The words coming out of this future alpha were halting, due to his extreme fear.

“The ones who are not there are the people in the palace prison, Your Majesty. The rest are all here,” that bitch spoke again.

Did she just say prison?

Is it possible that they put my destined mate in prison?

How dare they do this?

I immediately headed towards the prison, with every step I took the smell of her became more and more intense.

I started going down the stairs to get to those prisons. I started hearing the groans of a girl. I started to feel very angry and I imagined that she was the one in pain...

Black hair reaching mid-waist, bright white skin, dress split at the back, due to the beating she was subjected to. I couldn't see her face well, even though she tried to turn to me. She felt my presence.

" Who did this?" I did not move my head an inch, I did not see the face of the guards, but I think they will lose consciousness now because of my presence in this place.

I feel like my heart is pounding with anger. How could they do this to my Mate?

“Your Majesty, she is…” The guard did not finish his words, and his severed head was next to him.

“Your Majesty, please forgive us, we….” Well of course I wouldn't leave them alive after what they did to her.

I removed that iron door with one hand. I immediately entered her and untied the rope that was holding her hands together. She was about to fall to the ground, but I caught her well.

“You came for me, you are my mate.” Her voice was very weak, but it was the most beautiful voice I had ever heard. Those eyes that looked like emerald green were looking at me with love despite their pain. I had never seen a more beautiful woman before.

"Yes, you are my mate. I will never forgive anyone from this kingdom. I will kill everyone for you."
