*Laura’s POV *
I woke up a few hours later to find myself stripped and chained. Both of my hands had cuffs around them with chains that were connected to the ceiling; and even my legs were chained too, but I didn't see where the chains led to. The room was dark.
My palms were all sweaty, my hair clung to my face due to the presence of excessive sweat and my stomach was already grumbling from the lack of food for the past few hours. Worst of all were my butts. They were in pain! The cold metallic chair was not just hard against it but also felt like tiny needles were pricking at it.
Dear Goddess, I'm going to pass out soon...
The only sound that had been resounding around the room was the tick-tock of the wall clock, which I couldn't help but notice when the sound of an opening door took its place. I still couldn't see anything but I knew who had entered, for his presence made that weird sweet sensation crawl up my skin again.
"I see you haven't changed- yet, and it's past 12 already." He drawled from a corner of the room.
The lights flickered on, blinding me for a moment. He was standing with his arms folded and a brooding look on his handsome face.
"I can't change." I voiced quietly, my voice sounded distant and hoarse, it didn't even sound like me. I felt like I was about to puke.
"Why?" He asked, walking closer to where I was chained until he was standing right in front of me.
This dumb idiot!
"Because I made up the story," I croaked out, "how could you be so stupid as to believe in singing like that?" I asked angrily. As if insulting him wasn't enough, I spat at him, and even though the spittle didn't hit where I wanted it to, it still managed to grace his left foot where I watched it slowly dissolve into nothingness.
Oh God, I am stupid. So stupid.
I shouldn't have yelled, I shouldn't even have spat at him- because somehow I felt like an alarm just ticked off, and his cool demeanor turned into a psychotic beast in the blink of an eye.
And he slapped me. Like really slapped me.
"Oh you think I bought that silly joke of yours?" he seethed, holding my face roughly in his hands. My head was reeling and I couldn't seem to focus, I just wanted to wake up and realize that this was all a dream and it was Annabel he took not me.
"Now I'm going to show you what stupid people do." With that, he pulled at my hair, forcing me to stand and then slapped his lips against mine forcefully.
I was conflicted. I didn’t know whether to give into the kiss that was fast tumbling my senses or cry out from the pain he was inflicting on my scalp; so I just stood rooted to the floor while his lips assaulted me.
“Please p-please s-stop!” I cried out, when his hold on my hair tightened. I kept crying while scratching at his hands until it drew blood, but he didn’t even flinch; instead his other hand went up my chest, tugged off my bra and began its sweet assault on my breasts. “Sto—” My words trailed off as his warm mouth came in contact with one of my nipples; I moaned shamelessly.
I couldn’t decide if it was the Mate bond or the adrenaline pumping through my veins that made his touches light a blazing fire on my skin. I only knew that I wanted more, I needed to feel what it was like to be taken by your mate.
He suddenly sat on the chair I once sat on, and forcefully pulled me down so that I was straddling him, and before I could fully decipher what he was trying to do, he had ripped off my panties and inserted two of his fingers into my throbbing pussy. I moaned again.
“f-fuck!” I moaned, arching my back to allow him easier access; He pumped his fingers in and out of my vagina continuously until I began to spasm, but as soon as I was close to orgasm, he stopped.
I opened my eyes slowly, only to catch him staring at me with an indecipherable look on his face, and was about to sit up when he pulled me back down on his lap forcefully.
“What’re you trying to—” but the words had not yet fully left my mouth when I suddenly heard the unmistakable sound of his zipper going off. My heart raced in anticipation.
I sucked in a sharp breath when I felt something rod-like rub gently against my vagina opening; he teasingly rubbed against it slowly until I began to tremble lightly; and just as I was about to pull away to relive myself from the sensations his touch was doing to me, I felt him grip my waist tightly and then he plunged deep into my womanhood.
He started slowly, as if allowing me to accommodate the massive size of his not-so little member, and slowly he began to pick up the pace; a few minutes into the sex, he was already pounding into me so quickly, so deeply that I couldn’t feel my body anymore.
My eyes glazed over when his thrusts became frantic, almost beastly, painful even. It seemed like every plunge broke me, bit by bit, until I was slowly dissolving in his hands.
I suddenly felt one of his hands go up between our genitals to rub my clit as he fucked my pussy. The sensations, his fingers, everything was leaving me in a mess. I wanted to scream, to cry out, to moan, but the idea of having people hear us made me seal my mouth shut.
And again, as soon as I was about to climax, he stopped.
“Why!” I groaned in sexual frustration, I wanted to release myself so badly; his skillful hands had succeeded in turning me on so much that my body ached. “What did you do that for!” I cried out in desperation.
“What did I do for?” He asked cluelessly, pulling me up so that I got up from his lap. I did slowly, my body trembling.
“Why did you stop?” I cried out frustratedly, my body felt like it was on fire, like a huge automobile had run over me. As soon as he got up, I quickly sat back down on the chair to hide my trembling legs.
“I stopped because I grew bored.” He said simply, but his expression looked as if he was disgusted. He looked like someone who had been forced to eat stale food, “I’ll call on one of the maids to untie you and send you to the guest room. I do not want to see you in this room again.”
I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to jubilate at his statement, but I felt myself growing sad. I felt sad, because he was my mate! And I had high expectations of him.
I’d always thought my mate would be my escape from the harshness of this world, my pillar, but it turns out he’s just like everyone else, everyone who didn’t like me…
********I don't understand why I had to become the mate of someone like Xander, as he is called. Just when I thought I had it all living with my mom, stepdad and sister, I never imagined I would live a much worse life in the pack of my so-called mate, Xander. The room is quite spacious and supposed to be comfortable since there happened to be a huge bed, a large television in the middle of the room and a closet filled with all styles of clothing and shoes, but then,my life was much worse. I wasn't happy. Nothing seemed to be going okay. While I was growing up, I used to imagine that my mate would be some handsome prince charming who would sweep me off my feet, love and protect me with all of his heart. Little did I know that I would be living a life of hell with my so-called mate. Handsome he was, but cruel and ruthless he was also. In my own mate's pack, I became a prisoner. Living in the room prepared for me for over a month without basking in the sound or having the rain drop
I stared at him, my heart pounding violently like it was going to burst out of my chest at any minute. This was so not my plan. I don't understand why things had to be this way. I stood in front of him, I felt like I was being made to stand in front of a crowd without clothes. He was my mate but he treated me worse than a whore. He laid on my bed with his hands placed underneath his head, his legs crossed together, while staring at my nakedness. He didn't utter a word but took a good view of my naked form. I cover both parts of my chest with my hands but, unfortunately, I don't have a third hand to cover my private area. His gaze was weirdly dark while he stared at me. This was something new. Whenever he comes to my room, I get punished in a different way. The last time he came, he made me squat while he laid flat on the floor while he feasted on my pussy. He ate me for an hour and I was not allowed to move. If I did, he would bite my clit every single time. I cried and moaned at
I stroked and sucked him countless times, and he always cummed deep down my throat, making me swallow his liquid. Though this was meant to make me suffer, as much as I sucked him, I felt high with desires. Now I understand what the punishment was all about. He wanted me to feel all high with urge but he never planned on satisfying me. I could feel my liquid littering the floor. I needed him deep inside me, but he just wouldn't give me what I wanted. I don't understand why he had to be so cruel towards me. I sucked and sucked until I couldn't feel my throat or the walls of my jaw anymore. They ache so badly. I couldn't even try to speak, knowing my voice would be inaudible. I sucked him and I lost count of the many times he came. The guy was a sex maniac. He never got tired, no matter how much he released. When he noticed I was getting tired of sucking him on my own, he would pull me towards his dick with his hands placed at the back of my head, then he began thrusting the walls of
I had been absent from the pack for two days now, but my beta, Chris, had always known where I was at. "Xander, why are you here? I thought you'd been with your mate ever since you took her to our pack?" I took my gaze up at Chris, but didn't say a word to him. I rather sipped my wine and stared into empty space. "Xander, I don't know what you have in mind, but do you know Luna almost died last night?" I froze but didn't show it. I slowly put down the glass of wine I was drinking and took my gaze back to Chris. "What do you mean?""I don't know what happened. She didn't come down for breakfast-""That is because I asked Lucy to let her have some rest," I interrupted. "Oh, some rest. Okay, I understand that, but she didn't come for lunch or dinner either. Since no one bothered to see what she was up to, I decided to go visit her-""Why would you visit my mate!" I interrupted again and this time, I could hardly hold back my anger. "Woah! Best it down Xander! You were not around an
Just when I thought I would be able to tell him all what I felt, I rather ended up holding myself back because I knew what that meant. Another Punishment. I haven't recovered from the one I went through lady night, so it would be foolish of me to provoke him again. Who knows, maybe I will die this time, since I didn't succeed in dying the first time. I wanted to ask the healer who actually saved me, but I was scared to go too deep with my questions. I don't want any trouble. Though he was being nice to me, that didn't stop me from being scared. They were all lycans and I suppose they think alike. Maybe it was better to forget whoever it was that saved me. That way I would have a peaceful life. If there was anything I learned while living under the roof of my stepfather, it was to mind my business. That was the only way I stayed out of trouble. ********Ever since I was admitted to the infirmary, the only person who has visited me was the pack's beta named Chris and, of course, the
When night came, I could hardly sleep, what I saw and heard earlier in the day kept replaying in my head like a movie. I also remember laughing at him for the way he behaved. I thought no woman would want to be with a man like Xander, but from the look of things, it was the reverse. No man would want to be with an ugly duckling like me. No wonder my ex-boyfriend chose my sister over me. What was I ever thinking, saying that to Alpha Xander? Good thing I didn't complete my sentence for fear of being punished. Still, that doesn't change the fact that I laughed at him, what a fool I've made of myself. I face palmed myself feeling terrible about my actions. But now that the future Luna is here, what will be my fate? It was already troublesome with Xander around. What will happen to me, now that Ciara is here? I took a glance outside and stared at the moon, which shone brightly. What has the moon goddess in store for me? Does she hate me this much? Could I have committed a grave sin i
What was that? Everyone wants a piece of Xander. I began to wonder if it was the Xander I actually know or if it was someone else. The Xander I know isn't someone nice to women. What was I saying? He wasn't nice to me in particular. I'm not sure he does the same thing he did to me, to the others. When I saw him yesterday with Ciara, I could see just how happy he was. Of course, he was nice to her, so I'm guessing he was nice to every other female except me. That must be it. My poor life. I wonder what I ever did to deserve such treatment. "Uhm, Luna? I'm not saying this to make you feel bad, because no matter what happens, you remain the Luna to Alpha Xander and there's nothing no one can do about it. Not even Ciara," Chris whispered the last part, which made me turn my gaze towards him in surprise. Chris took me to the pack's training court, and for the first time, I was happy I had to leave my room. I saw the pack soldiers all looking like giants with strong body build. If not fo
**********I hummed a song as I prepared for my training which was to start later in the evening. I smiled at myself when I realized that my time of being idle would soon be over. Just when I thought I wouldn't be able to survive in the Knighters pack, the moon goddess had paved a way for me through Chris. I just cannot be trained as a soldier. For now, Chris told me not to let anyone know about my training. I don't have any friends to begin with, so that doesn't count. I won't let anyone in on what I'm trying to do. Xander will be the last to ever find out. I know for a fact that he won't let me do what I please. In fact, height decides to punish me again if he ever finds out about what I'm trying to do. After preparing my training outfit, I neatly hid it at the back of the closet. Not that anyone will ever find out anyway, but it's better than being sorry. This was important to me, and I cannot let anyone find out about what I'm up to. Just then, I heard a soft knock on my door.
****Laura's POV***# A Year later It hasn't been easy, being a white wolf and Luna to the great Knighter's pack. The destruction caused by my disappearance was unimaginable, but then, I'm glad the pack is yet again stable.While I was in my room, preparing for my Luna duties, I suddenly heard a knock on the door. “Please come in, Sarah,” I said without having to look at the door to see who it was. Sarah walked into the room, looking quite panicked. I creased my brow in a frown, wondering why she was looking that way. “What's happening, Sarah?”“The Alpha requests your presence in the pack hall, as there's something you must see.”I raised an instant brow and wondered what it could be. Since the maid had already informed me, it was better to go and find out what it really was, myself. Without wasting time, I stood up from my chair and headed out of my room quickly. The moment I approached the pack hall where meetings were conducted, I couldn't help but feel something Familiar and
****Xander's POV***She stood right in front of me while peering down at me, like I was the slave and she the master. Of course, she's my master. I took my gaze downwards, but there was no sign of pregnancy. Silly me, what was I expecting? It's been years and I still don't expect her to be pregnant still, unless I'm expecting to see her carry another man's child. Alpha Dominique and the rest of the men had left, leaving just me and Laura. “Why are you here?” I heard her ask. I was so lost in her eyes that I didn't realize she was actually asking me a question. “Are you going to keep staring at me or will you answer my question?”“Laura, my love. I thought you died.”“What are you doing here?”I shut my eyes and took a deep breath. Where should I start from? I never expected that I would actually see her here. When I opened my eyes, I could see her staring at me curiously and obviously waiting for an answer. “I wanted to end it all. I thought I would never see you again, and so I
***Xander's POV***Having made up my mind to sacrifice myself for the safety of my pack I ventured to Alpha Dominique's pack with all determination. While I drove down to the pack, I made sure there were no weapons with me because I know Alpha Dominique, and that is the fact that he respects sincerity. I'm certain that when he sees my sincerity, he would surely grant me that which I seek. That is what I wish, and I hope he would actually grant me that which I truly seek from him. Just as I had expected, the moment I got to Alpha Dominique's pack, I was met by his men, but they dared not approach. I believe they thought that I had decided to come take my revenge. “Alpha Xander, you're far from your pack. Are you really here to launch an attack on us?”The man whom I recognized as Dominique's beta asked. “I'm not here for an attack, but rather, in here to see your Alpha.”They all looked at me skeptically. I could tell that they didn't believe my words. “You don't have to be scared
***Laura's POV***Since I didn't want to waste that much time, I know I should go straight to the point.“Honey, where have you been?”My mom asked, while my dad stared at me curiously. I heaved a long sigh and told them everything that had happened.“Oh no! That evil witch! I swear I'm going to have her killed for what she did to my daughter!” My mom lashed out. I was strongly baffled because this was my first time seeing my mom that mad. I've never seen her get mad at anyone before.“I knew it! This is why I would forever Blake Alpha Xander. It was all his fault. If only he hadn't involved himself with that witch, all of this wouldn't have happened.”“You're all right. Presently, there's no one who wants her dead like I do. I want her to pay for what she's done, not just to me, but for causing the packs to go to war.”My mom and dad both stared at me with a surprised expression.“What? You know what happened here?” My dad inquired, looking quite taken aback.“Well, both packs are wi
***Laura's POV***“Miss Laura, Are you sure you are ready for this“I've made up my mind, Alpha Darius. Don't you think that if I don't move, things will get even worse than now“You're right. That's why I think it's best that you really put an end to the battle. It has lingered for far too long“I know that's why I'm trying my best to put it to an end. I'm afraid that if this continues, both Alpha will end up killing one another. And I will never forgive myself if that happens“I understand you. You should take care of yourself and stay safe“I will. I'll be leaving Kaden with Mrs. Prisca,I'll come back for him the moment I have succeeded in what I'm going for“You don't have to worry. Kaden is safe with us. I have arranged some men to go with you, just in case you really need help. But still, you can inform me if you really need my help“Alpha Darius, you really didn't have to do this much for me. This is my fight, and I should be fighting it alone“You are fighting alone, that's wh
*****Alpha Xander's POV***“What do you mean, our men are all injured?”“Alpha, I don't think we can go on anymore. The soldiers are still healing from the lady battle,” my delta explained. I walked up to him with fury burning in my eyes. “What do you think would happen? If we can't protect the pack border? I'm not worried about myself, but what about the pack members? Do you think Alpha Dominique would care about the pack members? All he wants is his daughter!”“I know Alpha, why don't we come to an agreement with Alpha and try searching for Luna once more?”“You think I'm not searching for her? Alpha Dominique isn't giving me time to search for Luna.”“Fuck! This is all the faults of Miss Ciara. Why did she have to come up with such devious Plans?”“This isn't the time to think about what Ciara did. Tell me, have you heard about the men I asked you to send you to keep a track on her?”“Yes Alpha, but it seems Miss Ciara had gone into hiding.”“What? How the hell did she get away f
***Laura's POV***I instantly felt weak on my knees the moment Alpha Darius told me about the Battle between Xander and my dad. So, the fight has been because of me. I can't imagine what they must have lost during the process. This was all my fault. What should I do now? I should have told my parents I was safe earlier, and waited until Kaden was older. Just what was I thinking? How was I supposed to revolve the issue on ground? What am I going to do now? This is all my fault! Shit!“Uhm, Laura, I know how you must feel. But you have to be brave yourself. I think the best thing to do is if you do not want this war to continue, then it is time to put a stop to it. Immediately, I raised my head up and faced Darius. “Tell me, how do I bring this to a stop?”Darius stared into my eyes as if I had said something strange. “Did you really mean it when you said you want to bring a stop to this?”“Of course, I mean it. I can't let them continue on this bloodbath, or can I?”“This is good,
**Laura's POV**While at home, Mrs. Prisca and I made dinner together. Alpha Darius dropped by and since he didn't tell us beforehand, we didn't make preparations for his coming. “Darius, what's happening at the pack? You seem quite busy recently.”“I'm sorry mom, I know I should have come home at the time I promised. But yea, you're right. I've been quite busy dealing with pack matters that I could hardly even have time for myself.”“Oh, dear, they must have been really stressed. Just what exactly are you busy about? The business perhaps?”“Well, if it has anything to do with the business, that would be quite understandable. It's about the battle between two packs that is unending. So many things have been destroyed, and yet it doesn't seem like it will ever come to an end,” Darius explained. I paused at that moment, wondering why there are two packs in each other's throats for years and I couldn't help but wonder what they are truly fighting about and if it's worth fighting for an
*****Laura's POV****While I was in the clinic, trying to prepare for the day, Ms. Athena walked in. “Oh my goodness! You look so heavy, Miss Athena,” I said, looking cheerful at Athena's growing bump. “It's all thanks to you. If it weren't for your discerning eye, I'm sure I would have taken my life, some months ago, thinking I was barren and wouldn't be able to have my child.”“Oh, come on, it's not because of me at all. I just did what I could.”“Exactly. All you had to do was touch my stomach and make it known to me that I was actually with child, and to this very moment, I can't even begin to tell you just how happy I am that I didn't change my mind about you. Maybe things would have taken a different turn for me. Or better yet, perhaps I would have lost my child due to my ignorance.”“And I'm still thankful that you chose to trust me, and today we'll be celebrating your safe delivery any moment from now,” I said with a smile splattered on my face.”“Oh, thank you so much!”As
