Chapter 3
Alexa POV
My heart beats rapidly against my chest, and I gulp down nothing. I want to be relaxed and pretend nothing is happening, but I can't help it. The imagination of this stranger laying me tonight is a nightmare that I don't want to come true, but I know that can't be avoided.
The world seems to be frozen for some seconds as he finally walks in, and my heart sinks into my stomach. He doesn't look as scary as I'd thought, but I'm still so scared that this man might harm me. I'm scared of being laid by him. It's my first time, and aside from the fact that he's a stranger, I'm also scared of losing my virginity.
I know you would wonder how a werewolf of twenty-five years old still be a virgin, but it's very possible. For us, we can't let any other man touch us until after we are mated. Our mates are the only ones entitled to take our virginity, and be with us for the rest of our lives.
My body trembles nervously as I fondle with my fingers, my palms are already sweaty like I just dipped them inside a bowl of water.
"Are you ok?" He whispers as he comes over to sit on the bed with me, and as his hand slides around my waist, I flinch fearfully and uncomfortably.
"Hmm, I'm fine," I reply to him in a very low tone as I step away from him. I don't know if he heard me though, because my voice was so low that I could barely hear myself.
"Don't be scared, Alexa..." He whispers as he comes close to me again, and this time, he places his finger beneath my chin, turning my face to look at him. Looking into his pair of ocean blue captivating eyes, all I see is desire and wants, which is even making me scarier.
"Don't be nervous," He hushes for the second time, as he slowly leans closer, and I gulp down nothing nervously while shutting my eyes tightly as a drop of tears slid down the corner of my cheeks. I just wish he allows me just this night, I just wish he leaves me alone because I can't do this, but on second thought, I also ask myself if there's any point there, knowing that I'll be with him for the rest of my life. I'm going to do this with him no matter how long it takes.
"Why are you crying? Don't you want me?" I feel his breath on my nose as he speaks to me, and I slowly open my eyes to see him staring intensely at me, and I gulp down nothing. I feel my heart hammering so hard against my chest that I feel it's going to burst out anytime soon.
"For...forgive me, Alpha," I quickly apologize to him in the same tone, before I close my eyes. Barely five seconds later, I feel his soft lips on mine, and my heart skips like a million times. My heartbeat increases even faster as I feel his palm at the back of my neck, and slowly, he lay me on the bed, not breaking from the kiss. Since it's my first time kissing anyone, this feels so weird that I can't even kiss him back.
"Is this your first time?" He pulls away from the kiss and asks me as he stares into my eyes, and I slowly nod my head.
"You don't have to worry about anything, I will take charge of everything," He replies to me, before he claims my lips again, kissing me slowly like his life depends on it. Tears stream down the corner of my cheeks. I don't know if I'm sad because he's a stranger, or because I can't feel anything. How would it have felt if my wolf was active? Would it have felt so miraculous?
This was supposed to be the happiest day of my life, but the only thing that fills my mind is fear, pain, and sadness. Fear of how he will react if he finds out that I'm wolfless.
He finally breaks the kiss, pulling me back to reality, and I open my eyes to see him already stripped out of his chest. I freeze on the bed for seconds as I stare at his broad chest and perfectly toned abs. I knew from the first time I saw him that he would be like this, but I didn't expect him to be so perfect like this. My fingers itch to touch his chest and run my fingers through his chest as I drool at it.
"Do you want to touch it?" As if he read my mind, he takes my hand and places it on his chest, but I quickly remove it, reminding myself that this man is going to take my virginity in a few minutes now.
He finally leans forward and trails kisses from my cheek, to my earlobes which gives me this tingling feeling and finally to the nape of my neck, which I have always heard rumors that it is the sensitive part of a woman, and his tongue there has just confirmed the rumor. I feel my heartbeat increases more than before, I can feel my blood pumping so hard and so hot. I arch my back as his tongue teases me right there, while his hand trail up my bare thigh, giving me this feeling I have never had before.
"Relax, Alexa," The way he whispers in my ear makes my legs shake fervently and my body feels electrified. For some minutes, I find myself forgetting all my pains as the pleasure already took over all of me. What if I now have a wolf? Will it be more than this?
My toes curl by themselves when he trail kisses down my neck until he gets to my cleavage, and he stops to stare at my breasts after he removes the fabric covering them. I am now laying half-naked with a man that I barely know. My cheeks flush embarrassingly, and without thinking twice, I quickly cover myself up with my hands, while his eyes are still feasting on them.
"Don't cover yourself, Alexa," I'm sure he wanted to sound a bit calm, but his voice sounds rather harsh and commanding, so I quickly remove my hands, as fear grip me. As his eyes pierce into mine, my heart skips like a million times at the sudden change in them. They were ocean blue earlier, but are now yellow and as bright as the sunshine. His breath was just normal before, but now it's thicker and faster. At this point, I need no one to tell me what's happening, knowing that his wolf is already going to take over him, and I fear that he may end up hurting me.
"I... I... I..." I wanted to tell him to leave me alone, but his dark aura keeps consuming me and my lips can only tremble, and can't even utter anything.
As he leans over me, I feel his manhood poking me down there, which is already freaking me out like never before. He nuzzles his face in my neck, breathing so heavily that I feel so terrified.
I jerk and force my legs close when I feel his finger rubbing my dripping wet clitoris, but he pats my legs again before he pushes his finger into me, and I yelp in pain. It hurts so much that I can't fight back the tears that stream down the corner of my cheeks as I bite my bottom lip.
"I will be gentle," He whispers against my neck as he teases me there, and slowly thrust in and out of me with his finger, and when I get used to it inside me, he includes two more, making them three. Although it hurts a bit, but it didn't take much time for me to get used to it again.
"You are tight down there," He comments as he goes slowly on me. He suddenly pulls out of me, and I watch as he pulls away from me, and bend between my legs. I wonder what he's going to do, but his fingers that suddenly push inside me for the second time distract me as I yelp in pain, but I grab the duvet tightly when I suddenly feel his tongue licking me there like ice cream.
"You taste sweet down here," He grunts as he blows a gentle breeze on it before he pushes his tongue inside again, and I gasp sharply. My body feels electrified, and my head spins around in pleasure as I arch my back.
I shudder when I feel something flowing inside my body like I'm about to urinate, but before the thing could make it out of my vulva, he pulls his tongue out, then place himself between my legs, positioning his aggressive manhood against my wet cunt.
Slowly, he rubs it gently against it, before he gently pushes himself slowly inside me, and I go crazy from screaming in pain, not minding people may be listening to me out there.
"You will be fine, Alexa... I will be gentle," He hushes against my neck as he waits for me to get used to his length before he starts moving slowly in and out of me.
My legs tremble as I cry out in pain.
"Please stop... You're hurting me," I try to push him off, but he's way more powerful than me that I can't do anything with my almost tiny hands.
"Let me go!" I hit his chest continuously, but he doesn't look like he's here. His breath becomes so rough, and his pace becomes faster than before, not minding that I'm in pain.
Suddenly, I feel two sharp things grazing my neck, and I know that it's about to happen. He's about to mark me.
He pushes so deep inside me, as his sharp fangs pierce into my neck, and that is all I remembered, as everything went blank...
Chapter 4 Alpha Kai POV I pace restlessly in the room while the physician attends to her. She passed out yesterday while I was consummating our marriage, and I don't think I understand what is going on now. Is she weak? Does she not have strength? I don't want to conclude yet, so I have the only option of waiting for him to get done with her. "She's out of danger now. She will be fine," The physician says once he turns to face me, and I glance at her. She is still sleeping, or should I say still unconscious? "What happened to her? Why did she pass out?" I ask him anxiously, and he sighs. "Can I see you for a moment, Alpha?" He asks after he glances at her, making me more confused. "Sure," And with that, we both stride out of the room, and I close the door behind us. "There's a problem, Alpha," He utters once we are outside my room, and I turn to look at him confusingly. "Your mate... I don't think she has a wolf. She is wolfless," He utters, and I f
Chapter 5Alexa's POVI flinched when the Alpha left angrily and slammed the door behind him. The scenes from the previous night came rushing to my mind as tears fell uncontrollably from my eyes. I felt used and rejected. The spot between my legs felt sore, and my limbs shake uncontrollably, but I managed to stand up and walk to the bathroom.I noticed the bathroom was colossal, ensuite with a walk-in closet, white, and gray theme perfectly suitable for an Alpha. My eyes darted to the giant mirror on the right side of the wall, my reflection stared back at me. I look horrible, my hair is disheveled, my cheeks and eyes are swollen due to crying, and my eyes look almost lifeless. I cried harder, tears streaming down my face like a river as I tried to comprehend the situation I was in.I lied to an Alpha who I was mated to about my wolfless state, and now he's furious. How did I even come to marry him?, Why am I mated to him? From what I can tell, he's too dominant, forceful, and harsh.
Meeting the Alpha's brotherChapter 6Alexa's POVI continued to stare at him in a daze. How can a man look so handsome yet cute at the same time? The breeze blowing gently ruffled his hair a bit, making some strands fall on his face, I felt my fingers twitch as I wondered how it would feel to brush his hair off his face. I could see his mouth moving, but I barely heard what he was saying.“Beautiful day, isn't it? But being here makes it more beautiful. I can see you like the garden, I like it too, it's the most beautiful and peaceful place to be here” he mutters as he looks at the garden fondly.“Yes, it is,” I barely heard what he said, all I heard was 'beautiful and garden'.“I'm sorry,” he says.The apology jolts my mind from the daze I'm in. Did he notice the way I've been staring at him? I hope I didn't drool, that will be so embarrassing. I felt the side of my lips with my fingers, satisfied at the outcome, I cleared my throat quietly hoping that my voice appeared normal.“Sor
Chapter 7 Alpha Kai's POV I swerved the chair I was sitting on around when I heard the door open. My eyes glared daggers at my supposed mate who was standing in front of me. When I saw her, I thought she was beautiful and the best thing that will ever happen to me. I was so happy at the mating ceremony, and I and my wolf were happy to finally be able to mate with her. Staring at her, I feel nothing but hatred. The mere sight of her irritates and irks me. I can't believe the mate I've waited for all my life turned out to be her. I don't know if I did anything to offend the moon goddess. Alphas of other packs got strong, bold, and intelligent women as their Luna who could help them lead their packs to achieve greater heights, but on the other hand, I got an Omega. An Omega I will gladly love and accept as long as she is my mate. Not only did I get an Omega, but I also got one who didn't even have a wolf. The moon goddess must be incredibly stupid, out of her mind, or fucking crazy
What is going on? Chapter 7 Ace's POV When I found out that my brother had finally found his better half, his mate whom he had always longed for, I was elated, and extremely overjoyed. My happiness knew no bounds. As the Alpha's close subject, I knew how much he wanted a mate that would rule along with him, a mate who will take care of his kingdom with him and make it prosper. That is what a confidant and a loyal subject would think, but as the Alpha's brother, I knew better. Kai didn't just want any mate. To some werewolves, mates were just people they had to live the rest of their lives with because the moon goddess said so. They had to live with their mate because it was what the moon goddess wanted and their fate since birth. Even if they didn't want or like their mate, they just had to compromise. Most people think when two mated people meet, they instantly feel the connection, the love, and the mate bond, but some mates are not like that. They just have to bear with living wi
Light in darkness Chapter 8 Alexa's POV I still wonder how my trembling legs managed to support and carry me out of the Alpha's chambers. If Ace had not come in, I wonder if I would still be able to leave the Alpha's chamber in one piece or unscathed. He looked extremely frightening. How did he change so much? The same eyes that had looked at me with adoration, passion, and want now looked at me like I was the most disgusting being ever. His eyes were ablaze with fury, his voice filled with resentment, disappointment, and anger. His words cut deep into my soul like I am being stabbed again and again with a dagger. I had always heard how brutal, cold, and feared he was as an Alpha and I just witnessed it, he is the perfect description of a handsome face and a stone-cold heart. I walked with no sense of direction as I used my hands to scale the wall for support. He does not recognize me as his mate. He does not want me as his mate. But then, it's not my fault that I don't have a wol
Chapter 10Alexa's POVWhat the hell was I thinking? I had just wanted him to stop calling me sister-in-law all the time, since in the true sense I am not his sister-in-law, his brother didn't acknowledge or want me, so what is the use? I didn't mean to cut him off and sound so..... rude? arrogant?, ungrateful? He looked at me with a surprised look on his face. “I'm sorry, I thought since you are married to my elder brother, I should address you with respect, hence me always calling you sister-in-law,” he explains meekly.“You don't have to always call me sister-in-law to show respect, call me by my name, after all, you are older than me,” I mutter.“You are right, I didn't know it made you uncomfortable, my apologies. But are you sure this has nothing to do with the fight you had with my brother?” he asks, staring at me intently.Just the mention of the Alpha made me scared and brought back the anguish and fear I felt before. I swallowed nothing in particular as I tried to calm myse
Chapter 11Alpha Kai's POVAfter Ace left, the guard allowed the important members of the pack in. I appointed three of them to deal with some matters regarding the pack and outside the pack, since Ace already has so much work to do and I as the Alpha, can't possibly handle everything on my own.“Alpha,” they all greet and bow in respect.I respond to their greeting and lead them toward another room where my office is. I sat behind my huge mahogany desk as they all sat in front of me. “What do you have for me?” I command in my authoritative voice.“Some men we've identified as part of the green land pack attacked the southern territory and ransacked the warehouses there. Our guards tried to stop them, but members of the green land pack were more in numbers, and they came completely prepared, we lost all the goods and supplies there and a total of ten guards were lost, the rest injured,” one of the men explained.“What!,” I shouted feeling livid as my fist met with the desk causing a l
EpilogueOnce there was a prosperous and flourishing pack led by two brothers. Brothers were so powerful that they were feared and envied by many. Envy, jealousy, and betrayal got in between these two brothers that they both died, leaving this once thriving and envied pack in nothing but utter darkness.Alexa watches with cold and determined eyes as Ace's blood slowly drains out of his body and he breathed his last. She falls on the bed, mentally exhausted as she stares at her bloody and trembling hands. She takes a look at his limp and unmoving body. The amount of damage he had done to her and the sins he had committed against her in the name of love was just too much. She felt like a shackled slave whenever she was with him. His love was obsessive and toxic, Draining her of every ounce of strength she once had. She had no peace of mind, whenever she slept, she would keep getting haunted by the faces of everyone he had killed because of her.She fought as best as she could to get a
Chapter 126Ace's POVAlexa's painful screams echoed across the corridor. I paced around, running my hands through my hair out of frustration. Alexa has been in labor for the past one hour. I had brought the best midwives from different packs hoping that would help her deliver faster and easier, but her cries and screams told me otherwise.A midwife runs out of the room with her hands covered in blood. I started to panic out of fear.“Alpha, we need more hot water and towels,” she said hurriedly. I quickly turn around to the maids behind me.“You heard what she said, get it right away!” I bark at them and they scurry away. The midwife tries to go back in, but I step in front of her.“What is going on? Is she okay?” I asked worriedly.“We can't say for now Alpha, the matter is complicated, but we will try our best to make sure the mother and child are okay,” she said.“Ahhhhhhhh!” Alexa screams out in pain again. “Let me in. I want to see her,” I said to her. She shakes her head.“I'm
Chapter 125Alexa's POVEight months laterI sit close to the window, staring into space as I gently rub my now obvious baby bump. My life passed by like a blur, so much time has passed, yet I feel like I'm still stuck in the same place. This is my life now, a life full of misery and pain.I wipe the tears that are falling down my cheeks with my hands as I sniffle. I can't remember the last time I smiled or laughed. To me, laughing is a luxury I just can't afford anymore. And it's not just me, everyone in the pack house moves around like living corpses. The pack house is now nothing but a shadow of its former self. We are all just pushing and fighting our way forward. There's something missing- a huge gap in everyone's heart that I'm not sure can be filled any longer. His name is still on the lips of everyone, but nobody dared to say it out loud for fear of what might happen to them.When I walk in the corridor, nobody dared to look at me or talk to me anymore for fear of incurring Ac
Chapter 124Two years later,Ace's POVTerror, dread, and fearThat is all I could see in the faces and actions of the pack members I met on the corridor. They all bow their heads, shivering from fright, as I walk down the corridor. The sound of my heels clicking on the floor as I walk is the only sound that can be heard. My expression is cold, hard, and stoic as I walk. They didn't dare raise their faces to meet mine.It's been two years since I helped Alexa take back her pack from her uncle, yet she hasn't spoken much to me since then. I thought that would make her happy and clear up all these misunderstandings between us, but it turned out to be the exact opposite.She's now a shadow of her former self. She doesn't speak or eat much anymore. She just stays in our chambers and cries all day. I tried everything to make her happy. I bought her a gift, and I took her out. I did everything, but she still does not look happy.But it's fine. As long as she's with me, we will be fine togeth
Chapter 123Alexa's POVStaring back at the house that has given me so many memories. I don't know what to feel or how to react. Memories edged deep within me that I will never be able to forget. Greywood pack house. The place where I was born and raised. A place filled with love, laughter, pain, misery and the worst of all- betrayal. "Shall we?" Ace asks trying to take my hand. I grab my dress instead and walk away from him towards the house. He follows behind me with his guards. We all walk in and waited in the living room. My hands gently touch the sofa and the walls. I hardly recognize this place, it looks totally different from how it used to be. Uncle Gaius had totally changed the whole place."Alpha Ace," I hear the voice of the man that his betrayal is deeply rooted within me. The start of my miseries and misfortunes."And who might this young lady be?" he asks. My back is turned towards him so he could not see my face."Nice renovation uncle," I said turning towards him. His
Chapter 122Ace's POVIt is dark in my office, and that is what I want—darkness. I revel in it. I find it soothing. It held nothing, just silence and the occasional swirling of my glass. Closing my eyes, I lean back into my chair with a sigh.Immediately, the face of my love flashes before my eyes, and a smile tugs at my lips."Alexa, my sweet Lexa," I mumble, feeling so happy. I won, and she is officially mine now in every sense. Her body, her soul, and her heart Everything belongs to me now.I never thought I could love someone to this extent and get married someday. I always thought I would live my life with one purpose: pleasure. But then Alexa came along and turned my world and everything I believed in upside down. I feel complete whenever I'm around her.I don't feel remorse, guilt, or empathy for any reason. I don't regret any single thing I've done or how I did it to get where I am today. I and Alexa are going to live together forever as a family, and anyone who tries to get i
Chapter 121Alexa's POV“I will never be your Luna, no matter what you do to me. I am a free person and I have the right to make my own decisions. I will never accept this!” I shriek expecting him to yell or scream at me but to my horror, he bursts into a fit of laughter. I gazed at him skeptically, wondering if he didn't hear me very well.“My sweet sweet Lexa,” he smiles, cupping my chin. “You became mine, the second I laid my eyes on you. You don't know how elated I felt when I saw you for the first time standing in the garden as the wind whipped your hair around. My fingers twitched to run my hands through your hair,” he asserts, touching my hair. I swat his hand away.“Do not touch me or else…,” I threaten, my eyes blazing with fury.“I fucking love the fire burning like embers in your hazel eyes right now,” he smirks, coming within close proximity to me. Before I could move, he pulls me closer to him and whispers in my ear, “I can't wait for every part of you to become mine comp
Chapter 120Alexa's POV“You know me very well, Ace, and I will never side with you,” the Chief replies angrily.Ace lets out a bone-chilling, creepy laugh. “I knew you would say that, and you are far too useful to end up dead. I won't kill you, but by the time I'm done with you, you will pray for death instead,” he threatens.“What is that supposed to mean?” the Chief asks incredulously.“Carol and Leon. Maybe I should go play with them a bit. What do you think?” he asks, tilting his head thoughtfully. The Chief's face fell.“You are going to use my family as leverage just to make sure I agree to your demands?” he mutters in disbelief.“You left me no other choice. Either you accept to continue being the Chief and your family lives, or you reject, your family dies, and you will continue being Chief,” he shrugs nonchalantly.“You are a psychopath!” he utters with disdain.“I hear that often. So, what is it going to be? Answer me quickly. I don't have all day,” he said impatiently. I
Chapter 119Alexa's POV“A…alpha who?” I stutter nervously.“Alpha Ace,” she repeats.“How? Since when?” I croak out, confused. The last time I remembered, I was on the battlefield. How did I get here and when did Ace become the new Alpha?She stares at my confused state, pitifully.“He was crowned a week ago, while you were unconscious,” she said.I gulped and forced myself to ask the question I'd been dreading the answer to since I woke up. “W…hat about Alpha Kai?” I ask, holding my breath in anticipation. Please tell me that he is alive, and I was just having a bad dream.She sighs. “Alpha Kai died on the battlefield. He has been buried,” she replies. I grip my dress tightly, letting out a shaky breath that I've been holding. My throat clogs and throbs painfully as reality dawns on me. My eyes brim with tears. “He's dead. He's really gone forever,” I mumble as I burst into tears. I can literally see my life crashing before me like a pack of cards. I placed my head on my thighs and
