Alec’s POV I felt relieved for the first time in two full days that were only filled with pain, anger, and disappointment. And so did my wolf. I felt anxious the entire time I was checking out the girls. I was holding my breath, barely keeping my heart rate from fluctuating and alerting the alpha and his lackeys that I was looking for a specific girl among the lines. I reached the last line and felt despair and panic starting to rise when I couldn’t see her yet. I couldn’t smell her unique, sharp citrus smell either because of the damn spell rendering my wolf weak and unable to sense her presence among them, which added to my anxiety when I reached the last two girls at the end of the line. But then I saw her. And my heart couldn’t be more relieved to see her despite everything she has done to me. She made my job easier for me to pick her out from the others when she fought back, swatting my hand away when I tried to lift her head up to take a look at her face like I’ve been doi
Ryan’s POVI knew I smelled something different the second the girls entered the hall.My wolf was a little weak but he could sense it somehow, an odd scent that made something inside me clench intensely.I couldn’t put my finger on where the smell was coming from as the girls started to line up, nor why it was affecting me.I kept a cool face as I followed behind Alec along the lines, holding each one’s face up to see her clearly.I was here to choose one to free along with Alec’s mate. It was a hard choice considering I didn’t know on what basis I should choose who gets her freedom. It felt unfair.But my hunt for the source of the smell gave me the choice I needed to make as I continued to search for it.It smelled so sweet it was making my mouth water. It was pulling me in, luring me to it like being tethered to a rope.Honey.The moment we got to the last two girls, it hit me hard and I recognized both the smell and who it belonged to.I; or rather my wolf, also recognized one ot
Andrea’s POVI was walking behind Alec and his beta Ryan who were following Damian to rooms similar to the room alpha King took me to last night. Mila was walking next to me after she was chosen to be bought by Ryan.I recognized him the second alpha King addressed him. He was the one who spared my life during the battle without killing me despite knowing whose side I was on.He didn’t spare me any glance because he was a bit busy buying Mila for himself.I could tell and feel how shocked Mila was that she was chosen after all these years.What a weird coincidence that we both got bought to the same pack together?Of course she doesn’t know that my new master is no one else other than my mate.But I wondered what made Ryan pick her in particular. I just hope he shows the same kindness I thought he had in him when he let me go and treat her well by giving her the freedom she’s long overdue for.I spared a glance at her and saw her staring down at the floor without any emotion on her fa
Alec’s POVI gazed steadily at her, analyzing her emotions without saying a word.I didn’t need the bond to read her really because her great fear of me was very evident all over her face and body.But I’ll give her that, despite her apparent vulnerability she was still trying to be brave as she faced me head on. I could see it when she walked inside with her head up, I could see it in her defiant, fiery gaze, and in her clenched fists.Was she scared because she thinks I’m going to hurt her the way she was hurt by that bastard? Or because she knows I hate her for trying to kill me and running away from me and that I will punish her in another way? I wasn’t sure which option was the reason for her fear of me.“You don’t hate her though, Alec. Do you? She’s been through so much last night. I know how much it hurt you. You can’t punish her after everything” Maddox grunted at me in a displeased tone in reaction to my train of thoughts.“What happened to her shouldn’t have happened and yo
Andrea’s POV I keep doing things out of rage and end up paying severe consequences because of them, but it doesn’t seem to make me stop doing them. As I stared at Alec’s flaming blue eyes, fear struck hard inside me. It wasn’t like my rage wasn’t justified! He alpha commanded me, took away my voice from me! And he was about to do something to me, I wasn’t going to go down easily! I had to try my best to hurt him a fraction of what he plans to hurt me. We were frozen in place with his hands holding my arms after I tried to kick him, his eyes were staring angrily at me. The moment broke when he started to drag me towards the foot of the bed. He was so strong despite not having his powers and me having some of it. I stood no chance but I tried as hell to struggle against him. I kicked, punched, and resisted until I ended up head butting him hard in his lower lip. “Fuck” he cursed under his breath tightly before he raised his right hand high and brought it down hard in my directi
Ryan’s POVI closed the door of the room and turned around to look at her.The mate I never expected to find in such a situation, not in a million years.The mate I just bought for myself as a sex slave.The mate who was being raped and tortured every night in this place for goddess knows how long.The mate that lost an eye probably because of this place.The mate I have to treat like I own her in case someone was watching us here.What does she think of me right now?Can she feel how heartbroken I am for finding her here? How disgusted I am at the whole prospect of having her as my slave after everything she must have been through? Or does she actually believe this game I am playing in front of her alpha?I can’t know until we’re out of here.She was standing in the middle of the room, facing me with her head down, her hair covering most of her face, and hands behind her back.It was a total submissive stance and I hated it.It’s quite ironic isn’t it?I am a strict dominant in my se
Mila’s POVI can say this with absolute certainty: if there was a rank of the top ten people who suffered most in this entire world, I would definitely be somewhere in that rank.The things I have suffered through in this place can never be described nor talked about.But ask me what the top three most painful moments I experienced here are, and I can summarize them in a few words:When alpha King took my eye out for trying to escape.The night alpha King first raped and tortured me and the entire year that followed after that.Tonight….. Meeting my mate.You’d think the moment I met my mate should be on my top three best moments of my life but no, it was not.He was here to buy a sex slave for himself along with his alpha.He could tell I was his mate despite the magical spell because I felt the moment the bond snapped between us when we locked eyes with each other.His smell….. Something so heavenly, made my entire body feel like it was floating in water. He smelled like the sea. Ir
Mila’s POVHe showed no response as he stepped further into the water and rinsed his hair off from the shampoo.I took the body wash next with a soft white sponge. He was spraying enough water behind him I was able to wet the sponge and make it as soapy as possible before he was finished rinsing.He turned his head in my direction and saw that I was ready to start washing his body, so he stepped back from the water again and gave me his back to start with it first.I cleaned his back and behind carefully, his muscles were popping under the sponge and he had lots and lots of them.It wasn’t really a turn on because I’ve already seen it all and the sight of a well toned, muscled man no longer made me feel any desire, because that would entail feelings and I don’t do feelings anymore. So I pushed that trivial observation out of my mind and focused on the task at hand.I finished his back and stepped back to let him know that he can turn so I can carry on with his front body.He turned hi
Another book finished and another thank you to everyone who reached this far and finished the book, I’m glad you stuck around and went through this journey with me. I hope it met your expectations and was worth your coins and bonuses. I have to admit, this was the hardest book to write until now. Not for lack of imagination, but more like lack of motivation in addition to multiple sicknesses that overtook me through the course of writing this book, it all made me spend many days not having the right mood to write and I didn’t force it because I would never write unless I was focused one hundred percent otherwise it wouldn’t be fair to my characters nor readers. But I am glad I was finally able to pull through and finish it and it all comes down to one person who kept me going. This book is dedicated to you, you made me have the energy and will to keep writing despite everything. When it felt like no one else was reading the book, you gave me everything I needed to continue writing
The Moon Goddess’s POVIf you ask me what are the best moments I enjoy watching between two mates I have paired together, I will have more than one answer for you.The moment they first meet and their wolves whisper that one word I love hearing the most, the moment they pretend they hate and loathe each other or act as if they hate the fact that they were each other’s mates or even when they get angry with me for mating them, the moment they begin to feel that tiny little spark of love but try as hell to hide it even from themselves, the moment they start with a verbal or physical angry fight and end up kissing each other heatedly, the moment they show their care for each other even when they visibly and stubbornly insist they don’t, the moment they finally accept and admit how much they are madly in love with the other, and even the small little moments they do or say something that shows me how right I was to pair them together…. Like this moment right now for example.It was three
Andrea’s POVAfter what seemed like forever, she nodded her head at him and looked down at his hand that was clamped over her mouth, asking him to remove it so she can talk.“Keep your voice down” he asked gently before removing his hand away, and got off her, giving her a little space to sit up against the wall.She had wavy, long, brown hair that she kept tied in a low pony tail. Her brown eyes were gazing at Robert uncertainly, unsure about his claim that he wouldn’t harm her even if she agrees to help.“How will you break the spell on the bracelet? Alpha King is the only one who has the key to unlock it” she said in a small, raspy voice.“Are you going to help us?” he asked pressingly before answering her earlier question.“If you promise to let me live after I uncast it. Give me your word” she said tensely.“You have my word. As soon as you uncast the spell, your freedom is yours. You can either portal out of here and go anywhere you want or you can stay until the battle is over
Andrea’s POVRobert was busying himself with transferring the food from the trolley to the small round table when he got Jude’s text.He took his phone out of his black jeans pocket and visibly stiffened in his place after reading it.He started typing after a few seconds and Jude read his reply out loud “There is no way I am doing anything to hurt her. Find another way while I feed her, she’s starving”Davina said heartily “Ethan please! Is there anyway you can…. I don’t know! Cut the feed or something! Make it look like the camera broke down. They probably won’t interrupt him just to fix it in the middle of his paid session right?”“That won’t work, a camera once broke down during one of the sessions and they…. moved us to another room instantly” Mila said nervously before lowering her head down sadly.Ryan squeezed her shoulder supportively and raised her head back up by touching her chin gently.They looked at each other without exchanging words and she nodded her head at him emot
Andrea’s POV“A man by the name of Ryan Evans told me about this place. He’s a dear friend of mine and we regularly keep in touch. Told me he bought a slave from you a while back and seemed pretty satisfied with his purchase. It tempted me to visit this place and experience it for myself” Robert said egotistically.Ryan put his arm around Mila protectively after what Robert said. She leaned into him and clutched his shirt tightly.It was the answer Alec and Ryan suggested for Robert to say. It seemed fitting considering he met him pretty recently and would most probably remember Ryan’s name more than any other name Robert might come up with to avoid any suspicion and further questioning by alpha King.Alpha King’s face split into a bright grin as he nodded his head enthusiastically “Oh yes, I remember beta Ryan. I also remember that slave he purchased, she was a long time favorite of mine. It was a little sad to part with her because she was pretty useful around here but well…beta Rya
Andrea’s POVI released a deep sigh for what felt like the thousand times in the past hour alone.I was barely holding it together but I could feel that control slowly slipping the closer we reach to the go time of the battle.Alec made sure to keep me by his side the entire day today, knowing how much I need him by my side for as long as possible before he leaves.Yesterday was a turning point for us, not just because we made love multiple times and confessed our love to each other, but also because I realized how much his love for me got me out of my darkness and gave me a new happy beginning I never thought I would be able to have before he came along. Being with him takes all my fears and pain away. Being with him makes me feel blessed, safe, and happy.That’s why I was slowly getting restless the closer it gets to his departure. I needed him like I needed air, like I needed my beating heart.I cannot lose him, not now, not ever.Everyone was ready and on alert. All the warriors f
Andrea’s POV“You have no idea how much you telling her you love her really affected her Alec” I mind linked him affectionately.It’s been two hours since our wolves officially met each other and they are still inseparable until now. They won’t let us shift back yet despite Alec having a ton of responsibilities to do and prepare for tomorrow.“She’s truly adorable, Maddox is totally smitten” Alec said lovingly.I chuckled and asked him lightly “I want to talk to him as well, don’t shift right away ok?”“He wants to meet you too. I finally got him to start saying goodbye, they are reluctant but he does understand that I have somethings that need to be done before tomorrow. I’m sorry I’m going to have to leave you on your own until dinner” he said apologetically.“Don’t worry about me I will hang out with Mila. I love you”“I love you too, Andy”I shifted back into my body while Maddox stayed in his form, gazing at me with glowing light blue eyes.I stepped closer to him, I didn’t need
Alec’s POV Her outburst took me a little by surprise but it kind of made me admire her more. Okay, yes I was trying to protect her from the scary truth, I didn’t want to make her imagine the worst case scenario or make her fears worsen for tomorrow, but she also had a point… kind of. She’s not eight anymore. She will become my Luna and she needs to learn to remain strong in the face of any threat or doom that might or might not come at us in the following years. If she falls apart, the rest of the pack will fall apart as well so she needs to keep her fears well hidden and stand strong despite everything. A part of me wanted to keep her protected and hide her from ever getting hurt or scared again, but a bigger part completely understood her. I said she isn’t weak before and I meant it. She is really strong, so strong because despite falling apart consistently in the past few days, she still picked herself up and handled everything that was thrown at her despite how hard it was to t
Alec’s POV“Say it again” I asked softly, my soul requesting to hear this sentence over and over again. I realized that I too longed for that sentence to be said to me. I wasn’t as deprived of love as she was for the past ten years, but let’s just say it’s been a rough month that had me realizing that I needed her in my life now more than ever and was thankful; despite the very horrible circumstances in which we met, that I had finally found her… My fated mate, the one chosen for me by the moon goddess. I pray she forgives me for cursing her out at first because I seriously thought she had it out for me for making this girl my mate, but now I know she was really giving me exactly who I deserve to spend the rest of my life loving and caring for.She smiled, knowing how much her admitting her feelings to me made me very delighted.“I love you so hard, Alec” she said tenderly with a bright smile, the brightest
