* Leroy POV*

“Excuse me?”

She gets off the bed and winces when her feet touch the floor. The fact that she remains standing speaks to the amount of pain she is able to bare.

“Please, don’t go.”

She sounds really shaken but I don’t understand why.

“Are you are scared of Marcus?”

She turns her head away. I don’t know if that’s a confirmation or not.

“He will never touch you. You have my word.”

Marcus might come across as an ass but he is the gentlest of souls.

“Please stay,” she continues to plead until I close the door and walk back towards her. She looks genuinely scared but I don’t get it.

“Okay, what is it?”

She swallows her saliva and casts her eyes down.

“So?”

“I.. I have shared a shed with other slaves my whole life.”

“I know. This is much more comfortable,” I explain but I still don’t understand why she is scared.

“I’ve never slept alone. This room, it’s massive.” Her voice is like a whisper. It’s sad that she grew up like that but the implications of her unspoken words are quite amusing. I can’t help it but dive into my mischievous side.

“So, you want a sleeping mate?”

She nods and my heart dances. I can’t believe this!

“And what do I get?”

“I will kiss you anytime you want.”

I should be worried by the fact that her bribe is more than acceptable to both my wolf and I. I am already looking forward to exploring those soft lips again.

“Is that all you got?” I ask to avoid being so easy. She shrugs her shoulders in a confident stunt as if saying ‘it’s your loss.’ I can only conclude that she knows how hot she is.

“Marcus won’t approve and people will talk.”

She nods her head, but I can still see the fear in her eyes. The goddess is really scared of sleeping alone.

“You know she is just going to ask someone else if you leave right? I bet that person won’t be stupid enough to refuse,” Sky links and I curse inside before studying her for a few minutes. Bruised and battered, she is still gorgeous and those pyjamas are not meant to make anyone look like this. Maybe it’s because she always hides her bootylicious body with the extra sized clothes she always wears. It’s a futile exercise to try imagine her still in her usual baggy clothes, not when her bust, tiny waist and curved hips are accentuated like this. I feel like my fate is already sealed here.

“Keep that window open. I might just come by later,” I instruct.

Her eyes turn towards the window, the smile that forms on her face melts my stupid heart.

“Sneaky! I like it!” My wolf is actually thrilled while I am terrified of what I am doing. If Diana or Rose hear of this, she will be as good as dead.

She nods her head but remains standing on the same spot until I walk out and close the door behind me.

Marcus must have heard the door open and close because I find him on the stairway.

“Satisfied that she is safe?” I can tell from his tone that he is still not impressed with with.

“It was not about that. You know that I trust you.”

He folds his arms across his chest with a straight face.

“What was it about then?”

“I promised not to leave her when I found her in the woods. I had to keep my word.”

He nods but I can tell that he is letting me off easy.

“See you tomorrow then.”

“We don’t have any scheduled meeting for tomorrow.”

He grins at me. He is my best friend but I don’t see him everyday. He is assuming that I will come back for her. The unsettling thing is that he is right. In fact, I am not even leaving.

I let Sky take over and sprint towards the gate. Marcus’ guards bow when they see me dash out. Instead of heading home, I make a run around the high walled fence until all the lights in the mansion are off. That’s when I jump over. It helps having an Alpha wolf, these walls are nothing to Sky.

Her window is directly above the veranda. It is unsettlingly easy getting on the first floor and back inside.

I left over thirty minutes ago, but she is still standing on the same spot I left her on. She has clearly not moved since I left.

“Your Majesty!” she exclaims, and looks away with her cheeks burning when I shift into my naked human form.

I chuckle at her reaction as I quickly get dressed. I am able to shift into my clothing, but her reaction is much more rewarding. She has already seen me naked before. I felt her heart race that day in the woods. Today I get to hear it and see her face.

“You should be in bed, unless you want me to tug you in.”

She blushes, before regaining her composure.

“You came!”

Her sparkling eyes and excitement makes deceiving my best friend worth it.

“I keep my word, nameless girl.”

“Thank you,” with that she slips back in bed and leaves the blankets open for me.

I slip in beside her and expect the whole thing to be uncomfortable, but it’s not. That on it’s own should make me worry. She sleeps like a baby while I stare at the ceiling wondering what the fuck I am doing. I am almost beyond teenage years, I should not be acting this way, especially when I know what’s at stake.

I don’t know when I finally fell asleep but her golden eyes are the first thing I see when I wake up. Something about her eyes makes me lose every bit of self control but I can’t afford to. I focus on her button nose and luscious lips instead. Damn! Those are so juicy.

“And I am thirsty,” my wolf adds.

“Your Majesty.”

“Morning, Cali.”

She sits up and looks curiously at me.

“Cali?”

“It means beautiful. Cali Taylor is your new name.”

Leaving someone nameless is the cruelest thing ever in the warewolf community. It speaks to how ruthless her master was but also to our pack laws that allow it. At least the Omegas have some rights however limited. They have documents and some sense of belonging in their lowest hierarchy, not the nameless slaves.

I went through a vast number of names and this was the most fitting for her and the only one Sky agreed on.

“You….” she chokes and tears roll down her cheeks.

“Hey, it’s okay. We can come up with another one if you don’t like this one.”

She frantically shakes her head and smiles through her tears. “I love it. It’s unique.”

“Like the owner,” I respond charmingly, relieved that she likes it.

She blushes and wipes away her tears. Sweet!

“Slow down with flattery lover boy. Unless you plan on finishing it,” Sky links but the thrill is unrealistically tempting.

“Shut up Sky.”

“It’s enough that we slept next to her. I hate being left hanging,” my wolf complains.

Not touching her the whole night was torture for my wolf and I, but I like seeing her cheeks burn.

“Get used to it.”

Sky huffs, not impressed with me but my attention is on her and the breathtaking smile that has replaced her tears. I have never seen an angel but I am certain one would look more like this.

“I have an identity,” she whispers.

I sit up and tug back her hair loc.

“You have an identity, gorgeous.”

“I guess I owe you a kiss?”

I had completely forgotten about my reward for being her sleep mate. My heart is now racing with anticipation.

“Don’t!” Sky warns.

I ignore my wolf and lock eyes with her.

“What do you think?”

It’s like a dare and she rises up to the challenge. Alarm bells go off in my head the moment our lips meet, but it’s too late. I soon have her pinned under my body. My head is buried on her neck when her hands slip under my shirt trying to remove it. That’s when I snap out of the spell and curse out loud.

Shit! This girl is dangerous!

“I told you not to,” Sky is irritated but we were together in this.

“Are you not going to stop me?”I ask and she looks at me like I am crazy before responding. “No.”

“You are eighteen, damn it!” I snap, getting off her and out of the bed.

I am more frustrated with myself than her. She sits up but remains on the bed. Her sharp stare tells me that my tone is not appreciated.

“You bought me. I don’t know the extent of your ownership on me.”

Fuck! This girl is even glaring at me.

“I bought you to save you, not for this. I have to go.”

She shrugs her shoulders as if to say ‘soothe yourself’ and I want to kick myself for kissing her in the first place. She is an immature seventeen year old for heaven’s sake.

“Told you.” My stupid wolf links, rubbing my stupidity in.

“Shut up Sky. Have you sensed something about her?”

“Like what?”

“She does not shrink when I raise my voice. She…”

“Glares and retaliates?” Sky responds. He gets it. Her reactions are not subtle, she does not even try to hide her emotions. As the Alpha, every wolf in the pack submits to me. No one dares raise their voice at me, let alone glare like she does.

“Slaves don’t do that.”

I have saved a lot of slaves, they would take every crap you throw at them and do anything to please. It takes a lot of therapy to get them off that slave mentality.

“You think she is royalty?” Sky asks.

“She acts like it but I don’t know anything about her.”

In fact, no one knows anything about her. I presume someone would have come looking years ago if she was royalty.

“I can’t sense anything right now. I will be able to when she has her wolf.”

I can hear the desperation in Sky’s voice. He hates uncertainties.

“I guess we will know soon.”

“Until then, stop kissing her unless you want a pub with her.”

I can’t believe that my wolf has become my voice of reason when he is usually the one cheering me on.

“Okay.”

I would be stupid to after what happened this morning.

  • Nameless, Under the moonlight    Back to school

    *Cali POV*A week later…Its been a rollercoaster of a week. My head has been spinning since the day I became “Marcus’ possession”. I am not allowed to do any chores. I have my own suite with a cupboard full of designer clothes and I get to sit at the massive dining table and choose what I eat. It’s all so overwhelming. Nora, other maids and the guards treat me like a princess. It’s still so strange how unrealistically happy they all seem and how they absolutely adore their master. I call them master Marcus fan club. Today will be my first day returning to school. I woke up at dawn like I use to at Beta Diana’s home. Leroy pulled me back to bed and reminded me that I had nothing to do but get myself ready. It’s after seven when I walk down the stairs and find Marcus waiting for me. His eyes light up and his infectious smile spread across his face. Dark chocolate skin tone, sharp eyes and jaw, well trimmed beard and moustache. Beside his wealth, this man is a catch. No wonder girls

  • Nameless, Under the moonlight    Emotional turmoil

    *Leroy POV*My life is becoming a complicated mess. I am drawn to Cali I can’t help it. She looks so good in her pyjamas it takes everything in me not to ravage her. As if that’s not bad enough, she looks like a goddess at school. It’s been weeks since she returned to school as Marcus’ but I am not getting used to it. Seeing how the guys look at her drives me crazy. Some have even offered to buy her from Marcus. Definitely out of the question. I am in a foul mood tonight. The royal blue dress she was wearing today was an eye turner. Rose even caught me staring. Sky wanted to pounce at every guy in the class. I climb up into her suite and close the window. She is on her pyjamas and standing where she usually waits for me. I roughly grab her chin before she speaks. “What the fuck are you doing?”She searches my eyes and just stares at me. This woman is infuriating. “You wore that dress to get to me.”“You are mad that I wore my favourite dress?” her nonchalant tone ticks me off. She

    *Cali POV*Wolf or no wolf, it’s obvious to me that Leroy is my mate. He gets on my nerves like no other yet when our eyes meet, I completely melt. His kisses take me to places I never knew existed and I don’t want it to ever end. I will be eighteen soon and we can be together freely.I stand on my waiting spot, my eyes heavy and my heart sinking. It’s past midnight and he is not here. I have never slept alone at night, but I am no longer scared. I have fallen asleep in this room during the day and I was fine. What is scary is him not being here. He is mad at me. I pushed him too far. My heart is aching. I completely freeze when I notice my curtains move. I want to run into his arms but my feet seem to be stuck on the ground. He looks at me and sighs. “Let’s just sleep,” he says with a neutral tone and walks towards the bed. “I am sorry,” I blurt out. He stops and turns to look at me, surprised and it hurts. He did not expect me to apologise yet he came. “For what exactly?”“For

  • Nameless, Under the moonlight    Mate

    We arrive at school to find everyone busy setting up their projects. I get envious looks as Marcus escorts me around until we reach our table. He always makes me feel like a princess and his admirers hate it. Well, it’s my birthday, I don’t care who gets offended. A Mexican wave forms as everyone bows to Leroy who makes big strides towards us.“Your Highne…”I am whisked into Leroy’s arms before I could complete my sentence. His cologne rushed into my nostrils rendering me breathless. “Leroy,” Marcus warns while his best friend squeezes me so tight I cant breathe and I can’t think. Leroy literally growls at Marcus who takes two steps back away from us. I can feel Leroy relax but he squeezes me tighter in his arms and inhales loudly. “Happy birthday Gorgeous. You take my breath away,” he murmured, making me blush and my heart race. “You are creating a scene,” I manage to whisper to Leroy whose heart is hammering against mine. I can see Rose sending daggers my direction while the

    *Cali POV*“We meet again Golden spark,” the old grey haired prophet says. I don’t really know why he calls me that but it’s always been better than nameless girl everyone used to call me. “Eighteen not what you expected. Meeting your wolf will be the same, so will be your mate,” he adds with the same mysterious aura I can never quite figure out. I am yet to meet someone who can understand this old man’s riddles. As an epsilon he is very respected in the pack. I am very fond of him because he told me when my birthday was, otherwise I would not even know that I turned eighteen today. “When is the full moon?” I ask a question that has become very important to me. He is right that eighteen has not turned out the way I anticipated. He is right about most things, probably all but no one fully understands what he means most of the time. He studies me for a moment as if deciding if to tell me or not. “Please, I need to know,” I plead. Leroy is not my mate. I might be homeless and back to

    *Leroy POV*Cali is eighteen and I can’t restrain myself. Sky is also behaving weirdly. Does that mean she is my mate?The rest of the day spins out of control. One moment I am possessing over Cali, the next Sky is screaming Mate to one of the gorgeous women I know. Phoebe is everything a man can ever ask. Drop dead gorgeous, graceful and just perfect for my Luna. Both Sky and I reluctantly let Phoebe return home. “It’s okay. We will mark her the next full moon and she will never leave our side,” I comfort my whining wolf. I have also made certain that our mate is protected. Her pack knows that she might be in danger from Diana and Rose and will have two of their best Betas protecting her.“And Cali?” Sky links and I have no answers. “That’s your tuff. You tell me!” I snap at him. “She has no wolf. I still don’t know,” Sky responds and I can’t believe this. “Seriously? The fact that Phoebe is our mate means Cali is obviously not!” I snap at Sky again. It is almost dark, I am head

    *Leroy POV*Forty-five minutes later, I, Marcus and Linda stand at Cali’s bedside. She is hardly breathing but my heart refuses to accept it. “Her injuries are too severe. They are not compatible with life,” Linda explains while I frantically shake my head. “I am so sorry, you have to bid her good…”“No. Fix her,” I interject and storm out. Sky has been continuously groaning and whining, I can’t concentrate. “Leroy,” Marcus calls and follows me. I sit on the stairs with my chest tight and my whole body trembling. Resting my heavy head on my palms, that horrific scene plays over in my head. She sacrificed herself for me. “Are you okay?” Marcus asks. I can hear the sadness in his voice. He treated Cali as his little sister. “It’s all my fault. I am sorry.” I respond without lifting my head.“Leroy,”he calls me again.“It was her birthday. I promised to join her at the lake and I completely forgot about her,” I qualify my statement. “You met your mate. You had no control over that,”

  • Nameless, Under the moonlight    Denied

    Cali POVI open my eyes to a dimmed room. My eyes scan the surrounding only to find Doctor Grey, Marcus and Leroy staring curiously at me. I momentarily close my eyes shut, trying to recall what happened that could bring them to my bedroom and stare at me like this. Leroy suddenly shift into Sky who runs to me and starts licking my face and neck. I run my hands through his fluffy fur before everything that happened comes crashing back to me. My heart aches terribly when images of Leroy and his mate play out in my head. I can feel my chest closing in and try to take measured quick breaths. That helps to calm me momentarily until I pay attention to what Sky is doing. The she-wolf bit me. She took off a chunk of my neck before I passed out. I instinctively touch my neck and frown. Could I have been dreaming? It felt so real. If I was dreaming then why is doctor Grey here?I look at the doctor hoping she will say something but she only shrugs her shoulders and smiles at me. “A rogue

    *Leroy POV*I quickly move out of the way when Gold reacts, splashing the Beta with her deadly saliva. Everyone gasps when the Beta evaporates before our eyes. I sometimes forget how powerful my mate is.“No one challenges my son, ever!” she says angrily as everyone around us go on their knees while Cale flashes her his sparkling eyes.She rolls her eyes when I grin at her. She can deny it all she wants, but Cale is a mommy boy.“So, you even killed the Beta for your son,” I link with her and crack up at her reaction.“He was charging towards Cale. You were ready to attack him too,” she says defensively, but I will tease her about this forever.“I was not going to kill him. You killed him to eliminate competition for your beloved son.”We have just returned home when Meredith’s wolf shouts mate at Cale. Now this is what we all expected. Cale’s eyes light up. He loves Meredith. We are all taken aback when Meredith breaks down before rejecting Cale and running off.“What jus

    *Leroy*It is four days after they brought Meredith into the family when we drop Cale at Fallow. He and Cali take forever to say their goodbye’s as usual. I curiously watch when Leane approaches and drops on her knees. I notice Meredith wince when Leane holds on to Cale’s leg, dropping her head on his feet.Rumors are, she is now a laughing stock and her sleeping mates want nothing to do with her.“Please forgive me, Your Highnesses. I was wrong. I love Cale. He is my mate.”I shoot my wife a stare when she opens her mouth. She is overprotective of Cale, but he has to handle this himself. We won’t be with him all the time and this girl does not look like the type to just let him go. I suppress my laughter when he kicks her off him.“Get away from me, Whore. We are no longer mates. You are free to continue prostituting yourself,” he sneers while she frantically shakes her head.“I was wrong, Cale. Please, I will never do it again.”“Get the hell away from me. It is a command,

I have explained to him four times already why Meredith is here, but he thinks I took her in because Cale has a soft spot for her.“First you reject his mate and now found him a version of yourself.”“What?”“Meredith is battered but beautiful,” he says.“So? That does not make her version of me.”“She is quite smart too and was a slave. Rings a bell?”“Just shut up,” I say before sitting on his lap and gaze at him. Lord, this man is so hot, especially when being witty.He chuckles and plants a light kiss on my neck, send goosebumps all over my body. He chuckles again. He knows his effect on me. “Meredith is our daughter now, Aerol adores her. I think she will fit perfectly in our family,” I say and hope he does not mind that I made the decision before talking to him. I had to ma

    *Cali POV*It is almost midday when we arrive at the Westside pack. The group that was pursuing Meredith must have come back to report because the elders and royal family are already waiting for us in the lounge.“Golden queens of queens,” their Luna greets with a feigned smile. Now I remember her from those days my ovulation used to summon every alpha. She was the dumb superficial and gossiping bimbo. Meredith is literary shaking and hiding behind Cale. This child has been abused and it makes me mad. I don’t acknowledge the Luna’s greetings, nor that their elders. Meredith has gotten to me. I hate all these people for either abusing her or allowing it to happen. We are taking a seat when the Luna clears her throat, her evil eye on Meridith, who literally jumps and heads out. I guess that was a way of telling her that she is not allowed to sit or be here. I grab the shaking Meredith and place my arm over her shoulder. I can feel her trembling. Each movement fueling my anger.

    *Cali*“So, Meredith…”She literally jumps, startled. This girl is a nervous wreck. “ How do you know my son?”“I…I…I…”I look at Cale. She can’t even complete a sentence. “Wait, are you the whore who hurt my brother?” Aerol ask. She frantically shakes her head and burst out into tears. “I did not mean for him to get hurt. I am so sorry.”Cale pulls her in his arms and gently pats her back. “I am really confused right now, Cale. Care to explain?” I ask my protective son right when over seven wolves show up, clearly in pursuit. Meredith trembles against Cale as they shift into their human forms and bow. “Queen if Queen. Your Highnesses.”I frown when Meredith starts crying and pleading for me to save her. “Explain yourself,” I command the leader of the wolves because u can’t get anything out of this girl. “She is a rogue we were commanded to drive out of the pack, Your Highness.”I raise my eyebrow. Rogues are not this jumpy and nervous. This girl does not even have her wolf yet

Out of all our children, he is the one capable of disarming me with just a smile. “Not so fast, young man,” I pull him back.He flashes me his cute smile, Phoebe’s eyes sparkling at me. Oh, how I miss that woman. “How about you tell us what is going on?”Leroy leans back on the couch and cross his legs while Cale swallows his saliva. He is keeping something from us. I just know it. “I decided to correspond the rest of my studies. It is allowed.”He is so quick to tell us that is allowed. That on its own is giving him away. “I know that it is allowed, why?”He shrugs and I can sense lies coming. “Nothing. I miss you.”“Hah!” Leroy exclaims. I have been urging him to ask Cale the reasons he is here. He is convinced that Cale misses me too much. I know Cale enough to know that there is more than that. “I miss you too.

I am grateful that she is okay. She sustained a bite on her arm. The idiot died on the spot. At least I know that she has a lot of my genes.“Are you okay, Sweetheart?” I ask her when she heads upstairs without saying a word. She stops and comes to me. “Can I have my own guards and can Orlaith and I use separate cars to go to school?”I raise my hand, shutting Alloy down when he gets up.

My queen’s beauty is out of this world and I am not too bad myself. “Here they come!” Linda announces and place both of them on my lap. I squeeze my teary queen’s hand, my heart leaping.
