Allison's POV

I instinctively shrank back from the man's touch. For such a big and fit-looking man, his hands were soft, almost effeminate. Still, I knew they were a killer's hands. He leaned close to me for a moment as he peered into my face, as though memorizing my features. His entire face was almost entirely covered by a bristling beard. He looked like a man of authority, someone whose orders were always followed.

Judging by the way the other man deferred to him, I was pretty sure that he was the one I had to thank for my incarceration. I dragged my body backward. Sensing that I couldn't endure his touch, his hands fell away.

"Well? Can't you speak?" he asked.

He placed his finger on his chin as he studied me with his head cocked at an angle like I was a new and interesting laboratory specimen. I breathed heavily, trying to bring myself back to the moment, attempting to leave the horrors of last night behind. It was hard to do though.

"Speak up, you dumb bitch," said the man'

    Allison's POV I had spent another night in this hellhole. Last night had been every bit as horrible as I imagined it would be. It was even worse than my first night here. I remembered the slowly building fear that had enveloped me as night had approached. It was horrible because I had all the time in the world to notice that the daylight was slowly fading out of the sky and that night was slowly but surely coming. If anyone had told me that I would survive another night like that, I would have called them liars. Before the light faded out of the sky, I had scooted over to a corner of the room. It had taken all the willpower I had not to cry and beg for a light to be brought in. I had asked on the first night anyway and hadn't gotten any. I figured that none of the members of the rogue pack knew I had a problem with sleeping in the dark. Revealing one of my weakest spots to them would give them another potent weapon to use against me. For all I knew, the seeming tolerance of the Al

    Allison's POV Struggling against my restraints, I glared at the hated face above me that was now the object of my nightmares. I began to regret my decision of not stabbing him with the fork earlier when I had the chance. At this point, I would gladly have done that and damned the consequences. Even if they had caught up with me, it would have been better than this humiliation I was currently facing. The thought that I was tied to a man's bed almost brought tears to my eyes. To make it worse, it wasn't just any man. It was the Alpha of the pack who had snuffed the life out of my parents. At this moment, he was trailing a finger over my face in what I assumed he thought was a sensual caress. I growled as his wandering finger came close to my mouth. I stopped struggling and concentrated on that particular digit. Just one more inch to the right, I prayed. Just an inch more and his fingers would be between reach of my mouth and my teeth. I swore to myself that I would bite it off if th

    Dante's POV Maddox looked wary as he took a step toward me. I eyed him, wishing that he would notice for once that this was not the time to come anywhere close to me."Please calm down Alpha," he said softly. "Getting all worked up about this issue wo-"His words were cut off as I stretched out my arm towards him. He gasped and attempted to take a step backward, guessing my actions a second too late. Before he could, I gripped him by the neck. He gurgled. His hands gripped mine and pulled. I could see his muscles bunch with the strain of trying to free himself. The fact that he almost succeeded enraged me even further. I knew that my actions were irrational but I was past thinking straight at the moment. "Alpha," Maddox croaked. "Please, calm down. Let go of me and let's talk about this. Please, I know you are angry but anger won't solve anything.""You incompetent fool," I yelled. I dragged him to my desk chair and pushed him down. The chair sagged a bit "How the hell could you mi

    Allison's POV I looked around the hated room. Being here was somehow much worse than being in the shed where the rogues had initially kept me. I could not shake off the feeling that I was somehow living and existing on borrowed time. I would be eternally grateful for all the narrow escapes I had had here. So far the Alpha hadn't touched me. The way the rogue Alpha had been treating me showed that he was somehow interested in me. Whenever he was around or came to see me, I could always feel his eyes boring into my skin. His looks made my skin crawl. Remembering those looks now, I shuddered in disgust. I sincerely hoped that he would leave me alone and not attempt to molest me until I could figure out a way to get out of here. I looked around his spacious room again, taking in every detail. The only exit was through the door and I was sure guards were standing outside it. Earlier, I had gotten up to lock the door as I had not been tied up this time. I had locked myself in because I

    Allison's POVI was so shocked that Madison and Darien knew each other that I could not move for some seconds. Madison approached Darien and stood in front of him. My mind reeled at what the implication of this could be. Madison seemed to intimately know a rogue from the pack that had killed my parents. She not only seemed to know him. I studied her expression, confused by what I saw. There was a sappy, lovestruck expression on her face. She actually seemed to be romantically attached to him. Judging by the look on his face, the feeling was mutual. "What-" I stopped, then spoke again. "How? Can someone please explain to me what the hell is going on here?"When neither of them responded, I angrily stepped forward and pulled them apart. Madison's hand moved as if reaching for Darien's before it fell limply at her side. I snapped my fingers in her face. That got her attention as she turned to me. "What are you doing here, Maddy?" Darien asked worriedly. "Don't you know that it's danger

    Dante's POVI felt the eyes of every guard and warrior on me as I nodded. "Ready yourselves, men," I called out. "Check your weapons. Arm yourselves adequately now there is still time. We are infiltrating the Dark Stream pack today. We will stop at nothing until we get what we came for, understood?""Yes, Alpha," they chorused. I could see each of them physically and mentally preparing themselves as I had given my signal. This was it- the day I had been waiting for since Allison left. Now, I felt I was actively doing something to get her back instead of sitting around at my pack, getting reports from my men. Currently, we were at the borders of my pack. I was waiting for Maddox to arrive so we could go over the plan again. He and Lucius had gone to do some last-minute checks on the pack we were about to invade. I sort of wished we had invaded this pack the moment I had gotten news that Allison's trail had been found around there. Then, I had not been certain that the pack had anyth

    Allison's POVDarien was saying something to Madison, but he was incoherent. I stared at Madison in shock. At that moment, I was petrified. It was as if time stood still. Everything had happened so fast and I was still trying to get the sequence of the events that had led up to this tragedy in my head. Each time I attempted to do so, my mind balked at it. Darien was screaming now, and in the throes of his agony, he shook Madison from side to side. The dagger which remained planted in her chest jiggled with every movement. I wanted to tell him to stop doing that because it was making the wound worse. But all that could come out of my parted lips was a croak. The men stood in a loose circle around us, knowing that they had us trapped. They still held their daggers ready in case any of us decided to make a move. The Alpha's huge body effectively blocked the exit. Darien looked like nothing would pull him away from Madison and I did not think I had it in me to fight anymore. Madison open

    Allison's POVI was in the car, waiting for the driver to leave. All around me, Dante's guards and warriors were shouting instructions to each other. I could see members of the rogue pack being tied up and placed in vehicles that would no doubt take them to Dante's dungeon. It gave me no sense of satisfaction to see that my enemies were finally going to get what they deserved though. Inside, I felt cold and empty. I had never wished for something the way I wished I could take back the events of the last hour. I shifted and drew the blanket I was wrapped in tightly around me. I could not suppress a shiver. I was not feeling cold on the outside but I definitely felt miserable on the inside. Beside me was Dante. He had not said a word since he discovered Madison's body. He stared out of the window, a faraway look in his eyes. He looked totally out of it. Lucius, who was the one driving, kept shooting worried glances at us. Some more men came out of the Alpha's house at that moment. Dar

  • Never Submit to My Mate    Epilogue

    Allison's POV Dante's piercing eyes surveyed everyone in the room. It was as though those eyes were able to unravel every man's secrets. Though he spoke to everyone at the same time, at that moment, it felt like he was talking to each of the men in the conference room individually. The men assembled leaned forward, their bodies tense, looking as wound up as taut strings. They hung onto his every word. The boy in the room who sat beside Dante was transfixed. I could tell that he closely followed all that his father was saying. I smiled a little at the worshipful expression in those green eyes that were so like mine. After a silence of some seconds, Dante continued, "We have been through worse in the past and this poses as no challenge whatsoever. I consider this war we are about to go on... as a form of target practice. Some of you have gotten rusty over the years, so this should be an opportunity to take out your rusty daggers and relearn how to fight." There was a ripple of laug

    Allison's POV I spent most of the morning in my room. I kept replaying the scene with Dante this morning over and over in my head. Each time, I gave his words a totally different interpretation and that made me sadder. I knew that I was torturing myself by doing this, but I could not seem to stop. I had ordered for breakfast in my room. Whenever Malkiel had felt hungry, I had fed and soothed him. A short while after breakfast, Aria had come to talk to me. Sensing that something was wrong, she had asked why I did not bother to come down for breakfast and why I was cooped up in my room. Then she had prattled on about a lot of other things which I did not bother to pay attention to. My replies had been so curt that she had eventually left, but not without informing me- without me asking- that Dante had left the pack to attend to some things. It came as a surprise to me when less than an hour later, a knock sounded on the door. I immediately perceived Dante's scent outside the door.

    Allison's POV For the next few hours, Malkiel's temperature kept fluctuating. Sometimes he was as hot as a live coal. Sometimes his temperature returned to normal. At other times, he felt cool to the touch, so cool that I felt goosebumps form on my skin when I touched him. It was still scary to see my baby going through these kinds of changes within the space of a few minutes. Even though I knew what had caused Malkiel's illness, it still did not make it easy to deal with. I did not know what to think- how to feel about all of this. It was too much to take in all at once. After Dante had told me about what the red mark was, I had sat watching my son for hours, thinking about all he had said. As I stared out of the window, my fingers trailed along Malkiel's chest. It was easier for me to believe what Dante had said because apart from the high temperature and the fact that he was sleeping too much, Malkiel did not show any other signs of illness. A part of me- the part which alway

    Dante's POV I glared at the woman who was on her knees before me. She was crying and mumbling incoherently and had been doing that for the last few minutes. Stiffly, I walked back to my desk and sat down behind it. At least the desk provided a sort of barricade that might prevent me from hurting her. I closed my eyes, shutting out the image of her face. Slowly, I massaged my temples as I felt the headache I associated with one of my fits of rage coming on. My wolf was getting restless, wanting to come out. If it did, it would be bad for the woman- very bad indeed. Calm, be calm, I muttered to myself over and again. When I felt I was somewhat in control of myself, I raised my head and pinned her with my stare. "So, what are you trying to say, Tessa?" I said. "Apart from the Luna and I, you are the only one who spends so much time with my son as you are his nanny. Explain to me how the hell this happened under your watch." "It didn't-" I motioned her to be silent. "The Luna

    Allison's POV My eyes lighted on the most adorable baby sleepsuit I had ever seen. I caught my breath in delight. A woman was in front of the rack where the sleep suits were displayed. She was looking at the one that had caught my eye consideringly as though she was thinking of buying it. Abandoning the shopping cart for Aria, I dashed forward and took it off the hanger, startling the woman a bit. I walked back to Aria who was trying to see what I was holding. "What have you got there, Luna?" she asked. "Only the most adorable little sleep suit for Malkiel." I held it up for her inspection. She shook her head emphatically. "Nope, definitely not. This isn't... Malkiel's style at all." I grinned. "How do you or anyone know what Malkiel's style is? He's just a baby." "And he won't like that, trust me. There are some clothes I dress him up in and he then tries to take them off by all means. That way, I know that he doesn't like them." "You don't like it, you mean. What is wrong

    Dante's POV With a flourish, Maddox handed me a document that had every inch filled with letters and figures. "Here, take a look at this," he said smugly. I settled down to read what he had given me. Without taking my eyes off the document, my hand wandered across the desk. Anticipating my wants, Maddox pushed the calculator towards me. I snatched it up and for the next few minutes, the only sound in the room was the faint beep of the calculator keys as I put together the figures before me. When I was done, I leaned back and whistled in surprise. "How accurate is this?" I inquired. Maddox flashed a smile. "I knew you would ask that. It is very accurate. I went through it thoroughly. I knew that you would want to see the documents sooner or later, so I prepared in advance. Surprising, isn't it?" "Not entirely," I replied after a few seconds' hesitation. "I was sort of expecting something like this. But the figures- the figures are quite astronomical. Wow." Maddox had given me

    Allison's POV A pleasurable thrill went through me. Dante had that look in his eyes that told me he wanted us alone, together. My insides warmed at the intensity of his gaze. I nodded. He grinned and pressed me even closer to his body. "That's my girl. You said what I have been wanting to hear all evening," he murmured. He stepped away, looked around, and slid an arm around my waist. He walked quickly and I was almost forced to run to keep up with his stride. He weaved his way expertly among the guests we ran into. He seemed to have an instinctive knowledge of who wanted to engage us in some sort of conversation. We got inside and I was about to push the door of his room open when he kneaded my bottom. "Dante!" I exclaimed, laughing. "Let's get inside first. There are too many people tonight." As soon as we got in, he planted a burning kiss on my lips. I moaned softly, responding eagerly to the feel of his lips against mine. I had thought that with the birth of our child, the p

    Allison's POV Aria stood at the entrance of my room. She walked further into the room, her flowing, black velvet dress rippling as she moved. She stopped beside my bed and regarded me closely. "Well, I don't believe it!" she exclaimed. "Luna, I can't believe that you are not dressed yet." I yawned and stretched. "I will get dressed... eventually." Aria gaped and shook her head. "The time is 6 pm. 6 pm!" she repeated when I said nothing. "The ball is due to start anytime from now. Your hair and makeup aren't even done yet. Luna, you should have been ready hours ago." I grimaced at the word make-up. "Who needs make-up anyway?" I grumbled. "It even wastes time. I have an idea, Aria. How about I go downstairs with no make-up on? I will just er- try to fix my hair up a little." Tria looked scandalized at the very idea. "Definitely not, Luna. What would people say? You are one of the reasons why this ball is holding. You have to be perfect for tonight. A lot of people from other

    Allison's POV The first person I saw when I opened my eyes was Dante, sitting on the bed beside me. I gaped at him. My first thought was that I had died and gone to whatever paradise the Moon goddess provided for my kind. While I had been semi-conscious after giving birth, I had thought I heard his voice in my room. But I had dismissed the evidence of my ears, tagging it to be a product of my overactive imagination. Now here he was, right before me. When I blinked, his form did not waver or turn to smoke like it had in my dream. I did not want to get my hopes up, but I gradually started to believe that it was Dante I saw. He saw me looking and gave me his familiar lopsided grin. "Dante," I croaked. "Is- it really you?" He looked at me with such love and longing that I felt my insides melt. I put out a hand and touched his warm flesh. "Yes, it is me, my love. I am here with you." I took a deep, shuddering breath. The sound of his voice drove home the fact that I was not dream
