ALAANA'S POV
Alaana…” Rylan’s voice was low and shaky, his anger barely holding back. “What is the meaning of this?”
William jolted awake at the sound of Rylan's voice, eyes wide in shock. He stood up, his hands trembling as he realized the gravity of the situation. His position as an Omega Servant meant that even if he was in my room, he could be severely punished.
I stood up and then sat down again, despite the storm of emotions raging inside me. “Rylan, I…”
Rylan interrupted, stepping in. "You were supposed to be my future Luna! And I find you here—with him?”
William flinched at the venom in Rylan's voice, his eyes falling to the floor as if he could make himself invisible.
"Do you even understand what you've done? You humiliated me, Alaana. You humiliated yourself. And you have also put him in trouble," he pointed sharply at William, "in danger.”
Williams shuddered, but didn't say a word. He did not dare. His heart pounded, I reached back and touched William's arm, calmly encouraging him.
Rylan shook his head, his brow furrowed. "This… this isn't over." You made your choice, Alaana . Now you have to deal with the consequences.”
Rylan's eyes narrowed, his anger turning into a colder and more calculated one. “Oh, don’t worry. The Pack will know exactly who to blame. Both of you.”
With that, Rylan stormed out of the room.
The sound of the door slamming echoed through the room, leaving a heavy silence behind it. William's hands were shaking now,I stared at him, my expression soft.
William,I said, reaching out and squeezing his hand. "I'm sorry."
He shook his head, invisible. "No need to apologize, Princess Alaana." I… I don’t know what’s going to happen now.”
I clenched my fists, my resolve growing. “Whatever happens, I’m not going to let you get hurt.”
William looked up, his eyes filled with fear and admiration. “I… I don’t want you to get hurt either, Princess Alaana.”
I smiled weakly, though my heart was heavy. “We’re going to figure this out together.”with that, William left the room.
The room fell into an agonizing silence, the weight of what had happened heavy in my chest.i know this was far from over. Rylan will not let this slide—not as the future Alpha, not as my supposed Mate, and certainly not as a man whose pride had just been shattered. The pack would hear of this.
I was trembling as my wolf clawed at my chest in fear and defiance, knowing the cost of what I had just done.
A gentle knock on the door pulled me from my thoughts, making me startle.I took a deep breath, steadying myself before calling out, “Yes? Come in.”
A maid, from my father's quarter, stepped in bowing her head, as she approached me. “Princess Alaana, Alpha King, has requested that you come see him now!.”
Her words sent a chill through me, though I nodded in silent acknowledgment. This was expected, Rylan had informed my father about it.
I walked slowly to my father's chamber, on getting there I slowly pushed the door with fear of what's going to happen next.
The atmosphere inside was far from warm. Rylan Stood before him, his expression tense but unwavering. The Alpha King sat rigid in his throne, his fingers drumming against the armrest in a rhythm that betrayed his brewing storm of emotions.
The disappointment in his face was a stormcloud, dark and ominous, swirling with anger and disbelief.
The Alpha King stared at me for a long, heavy moment, his gaze on me. Then, finally, he spoke, his voice low and laden with disappointment.
“Do you realize what you’ve done?” he asked, his voice deceptively calm, warning of a storm brewing below.
“I—” I began, but he cut me off with a raised hand.
“You have disgraced me. You have insulted this Pack. Do you think you are above the responsibilities of your rank? To be found with that Omega—a slave? Even if he is your Mate” His voice rose with each word, his anger bleeding.
My jaw clenched and I didn't answer for a moment. Then, I said quietly, “It wasn’t intentional…”
The Alpha king laughter was cold and humorless. “It wasn't intentional ? Why didn't you control yourself? Because from where I stand, it looks like you’ve not only betrayed this Pack, but also disgraced your position as the next Luna.”
I opened my mouth, but he cut me off again. “You know what the Pack members will say? That the Alpha King watches over his subordinates! That I am too weak to rule my own house!” He leaned closer, his voice dropping to a deathly wail. “I cannot tolerate such stupidity. You will stop this… whatsoever it is, immediately. And for that Omega servant, he will be seriously dealt with.”
No!" I choked out the word, unable to resist. “You can’t punish him… it was my fault, I was the one who called him”.
"Because of your mistake?" The Alpha King said, his eyes filled with anger. " I will punish him. Don't test me, Alaana."
He straightened, his voice rising like steel. “Prove to me that you deserve the title of Luna and Reject that Omega Servant. And get Married to Rylan as planned.Or lose everything— your heritage, your title as my child—and face defiance problems. choose wisely.”
I frozed, my father's words shaking me like ice. married to Rylan. After seeing my Mate. Or I lose everything… Every word flowed through my mind, becoming heavier and heavier, as if the weight of the world was pressing down on me.
“Alpha King doesn't mean what he is saying, don't be scared”.My Wolf said trying to comfort me. The room seemed cooler now, the golden light from the lamp replaced by a suffocating feeling. My father's voice, familiar but now distant, rang like a knife in my heart.
On the day i found my Mate, I was supposed to be the happiest person I’ve ever been. I waited for years,when others found their Mate, I was always left with nothing but hope.Being the daughter of the Alpha King made it worse. Expectations weighed on me like chains —finding a mate strong enough to be the next Alpha King, someone who could stand beside me when I become the next Luna.
But the Moon Goddess had other plans.
My eyes stared up at my father, distant and cold, his golden eyes filled with anger and rage. I always admired his energy, his unwavering commitment for the Pack. But now, as I stood in front of him, it was as if I'm looking at a stranger—sick, cruel, and unable to understand the words of his mind.
How could he ask this of me? To Reject the bond that had awakened something deep within my soul? To marry Rylan, a man who I only agreed to get married to because I couldn't find a Mate? The thought was unbearable, a betrayal of my own heart, I felt powerless. Torn between duty and desire.
Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes, but I refused to spill them. Not here. Not in front of him.
OMEGA'S POV I sat on the cold floor of my small apartment, my body leaning against the wooden wall,.Lost in thought, thinking about what transpired between Princess Alaana and I. Although I enjoyed the sex, knowing fully well that I was going to be in trouble and I would surely be punished.I couldn't control myself the Mate bond was too strong. Then I heard heavy footsteps and it was Rylan. Anger was written all over his face. Fear gripped me. “You made a huge mistake, do you think sleeping with Alaana will make you the next Alpha King?Do you think you can challenge me and go with it?” I looked up and glared at Rylan.” I’m not challenging you, Rylan. The bond between us isn’t something I chose. It is the will of the moon goddess and it is something you cannot break,no matter how hard you try.” I said, with fear written all over my face. Rylan grabbed my collar and pulled me close to him. His voice dropped to a dangerous whisper. ”You’re wrong. I can break it. I'll see you ruine
WILLIAMS POVI walked out of Alpha Draven chamber, my breath hitching as fear gripped my chest.My hands trembled at my side, my body stiffened by Alpha Draven brutal command."Reject my daughter or you will die."The words rang through my mind like a death sentence, each word filled with Alpha Draven power and anger. Under the weight of danger I barely managed, my Wolf growled inside me, but now, as I hurried through the dark corridors of the house, all I could think of was her—my Mate.Alpha Draven daughter.How did it happen? Fate had bound me, an ordinary Omega servant, to the daughter of the strongest Alpha Draven.The same daughter whose name I spoke with reverence, whose presence I now respected, whose touch—oh, her touch—instilled something within me that I could never let go of.When I reached the small servants' room, my legs were about to wear out, and my heart was pounding under the weight of which decision I should make.I have to reject her. I have to do this.But our relat
ALAANA’S POVI returned to my room.My breath hitched, and my hands trembled as I grapped the doorknob and opened it. The golden light of the lanterns shone off the stone walls, casting shadows that reflected the chaos within me.I leaned against the door, as if trying to lock the chaos in my mind. My fingers pressed against the cold wood, and my lips trembled from the moment that was about to happen until he stopped me.Williams.The Omega servant.My Mate.A desperate, frustrated growl escaped my throat,I backed away from the door,pacing across the room. My Wolf snarled, anxious and dissatisfied. It hurt, how my heart ached for him, how my soul knew and wanted him. Yet, he refused me.I stopped in front of the mirror, my image a portrait of untamed emotion. My dark hair was disheveled and my golden glow faintly with the remnants of lust in my Wolf's desire.I pressed a trembling hand to my chest, feeling my heartbeat.Why couldn’t I control myself?I was never the kind of woman who l
ALAANA'S POVI took a deep breath,for a while,embracing myself for what was to come. My heart pounded, not with fear, but with determination.I stepped out of my room immediately. Rylan left. As I walked towards my father's chamber.The grand stone of Alpha Draven chamber loomed around me, reminding me of how powerful my father is.But tonight, I wasn't here as his daughter. I'm here to fight for my Mate.My father's chamber was dimly lit, a huge fireplace casting flickering shadows across the stone wall. At the far end of the room, my father stood beside a large wooden desk, studying a map. He was a man of insight, and his presence alone was enough to make the strongest Wolves bow their heads.My father didn't immediately look back, even though he knew when I entered.“Dad,” I said, my voice strained.Slowly, My father turned, his eyes locked on mine. “Alaana.” His voice was scary. “I believe you’re here to accept the Rejection.”"No."A muscle tightened from his back, but he remained
WILLIAM’S POVI frozed.My chest tightened."What?"She clenched her fist, her hand tense and desperate. “My father won't wait for me to Reject you. He might be planning something. If we don’t elope now, he’ll kill you.”The words hit me like a wound.Elope?The Pack?I moved my hands away as my breath came out in short. “No,” I said, shaking my head. “No, I…I can’t. Princess Alaana, can you hear yourself? You’re an Alpha daughter! You have everything, the power, the future here. I have nothing. You can't throw everything away just because of me.”Her face darkened. “You think I care about all that stuff?”“You should be, my Princess!” My voice cracked. “If we run, we will be homeless, Princess Alaana. We will be hunted. Do you know what happens to wolves that don’t have a Pack?”She frowned. “I’d rather be homeless with you than getting Mated to another man.”My breath hitched.“You can't understand,” I said.She wrapped her arms around me, pressing her hand over my chest. “Then you sh
ALAANA POV I stood in the middle of my room, my hands on the wooden box. My fingers trembled in fear as I carefully folded my clothes, my mind racing with the thought of escaping. I had packed the necessary things I needed, a bag of some food, a bottle of water, but I knew it wouldn't be enough. I had to move faster and think smarter. I couldn't afford to make a mistake.There was a sound.My body stiffened. I walked toward the door, my heart pounding. For a moment, I thought it might be Elara, my maid. Maybe she'd heard about the latest abuse somewhere and had come to me first. But that sound shattered my confidence.“My lady,” a deep, calm voice came from the hallway.I took a deep breath and pressed my palm to my throbbing chest. It wasn’t Elara. It was my father’s personal servant, Dave. Unlike Williams, he was a man of status and privilege in the Pack despite being a servant.I hesitated, curling my fingers. Dave never comes to my room unless it is something urgent.I walked to
WILLIAM POV I stood in the servants' quarters, holding the rough fabric of my bag tightly. Mychect beating against my ribs, each beat reminding me of what I was about to do. Leave. Escape. Flee with Princess Alaana before her father,Alpha Draven tore us apart. I gathered only a few things because I own nothing except from the baggy jeans and sweatpants I put on. I also take a bottle of water and a loaf of bread I stole earlier from the kitchen I walked to the hallway gently, barely hearing my footsteps. I was careful while walking to avoid the patrolling warriors from suspecting me because of the bag I was with. She should have been here. Princess Alaana had promised to meet me in my chambers once she had assured the safe access. But when I slipped through the narrow servants' tunnel into her room, I found it empty.She wasn't there. Her box was on her bed and the window was still open. Something was wrong. I breathed hard trying not to be nervous, I had to find her. I
WILLIAM POV I sat on a wooden bench outside the servant quarter, looking down at the dark path below my feet. I was overwhelmed by fear and doubt. War. It loomed over me like a dark cloud of dust.Swallowing hard, I placed both my hands on my head. I'm not a warrior. I have never trained or been to a battle ground before nor have I ever held a sword in my life.I let out a nervous breath. It wasn’t just the fear of death that tormented me, but knowing fully well that I have no chance of coming back alive. The warriors have undergone a series of training and have gone to war countless times, they were being trained from a young age and have a strong Wolf unlike me.Even the youngest warrior was stronger than me. How do I fight the enemy? Is it by waving the sword and seeking for mercy, not to be beheaded?The thought of dying on the battlefield, my body left among the dead soldiers, sent shivers down my spine. I rubbed my hair in frustration. Was there any way? Is there any way to retu
ALAANA POV I sat on the edge of my bed, my chest pounding so hard that i could ear it.The weight of my father's decree suffocated me.Tears filled my eyes as I imagined Williams on the battlefield. He was gentle and kind, dedicated to serving the Pack, not fighting. What he handled were mostly trays of food, not swords. How could he survive?I can recall how scared he was, the last time i looked into his eyes "Don't worry, Princess Alaana," he muttered, wiping away my tears with a shaky hand. "I'll get back to you.”But he was lying. I could see it in his eyes. He knew, as I did, that he wouldn't return.I placed my hand on my chest, where the Mate bond burned with uneasy agony. I could still feel him, distant, faint, but alive. It was the only thing that kept me from not falling apart completely.But how long will it last?I gritted my teeth. If my father would allow me to fight, I would have gone with him. I would protect him, fight alongside him. But my father will never agree.
