"Please, I am in pain." My pleas fell on deaf ears as his grip on my hair intensified. "I know you felt it too, the connection between us. I want to make one thing clear," he lowered his head and whispered into my ear, "Don't get any funny ideas. I can never mark you as my mate! You are a mere slave, and that is all you will be—a slave I can bed whenever I want." His finger trailed down my face and neck, pausing briefly at my bosom, which responded involuntarily. "Just like I will tonight," he snarled before releasing my hair. I immediately crumpled to the hard ground. Athena, an 18-year-old Omega, was offered to the cruel Alpha king by her stepfather, who cared nothing about her, in exchange for a debt he owed the king. Upon meeting the cruel Alpha king, Sebastian, they felt a connection that indicated they were each other's mate. The cruel king rejects her immediately and subjects her to his sexual pleasures. Torn and broken, Athena decides to flee the pack with her unborn child, as the cruel king's palace was not a fit place to raise her child. She vowed to give her baby all the love and care she was deprived of, even as a child, something it would never get from its father or his kingdom. What would happen when she falls right into the hands of a Lycan king in need of an heir? What would happen when Sabastain decides he wants her back? What would happen when she discovers a secret that would play a huge role in determining whether she lives or dies, one that has been hidden from her all her life? Find out in this thrilling werewolf romance novel, "Offered to the Cruel Alpha King."

It soon became closer.My heart was pounding so hard against my ribcage. My mum and I were so scared. We were in trouble; they had already said they wouldn't stop looking until they found the person who had been talking. This was all my fault. I was a bit loud over the phone when speaking to my father. If I had just lowered my voice, our presence would not have been sniffed out.My mum held my shoulders squarely as she looked at me in the dark, my sharp wolf vision picking up on her eyes which were filled with fear."Listen to me, Athena," she whispered. Even through the whisper, the fear in her voice was unmistakable."They are closing in on us. They will soon find this cave, and I don't want to let that happen." She shut her eyes and bit her lower lip. I knew she was trying to fight back her tears. She was trying to be strong at this point in time, but t
~RichardThe men were now within close range of where we were. I could see the one in the middle a little more clearly, and he was not Frederick.He had an aura of nobility about him and also had men protecting him. That could only mean one thing: he was an important man. I aimed for him as soon as they got very close."Don't shoot, or I will empty the bullets in this gun into his brain!" I warned the men who had now turned their guns in my direction. James and the rest of our people who were with me were still hidden. I had instructed them to remain hidden as they could all be killed with silver bullets. I didn't want any of them to lose their lives at the hands of these men.The men were looking at me like lions waiting to pounce on their prey, except this prey had an advantage against them. I had them in the palm of my hand. As long as I held on to their master, whoever this man was, they wouldn't dare shoot. All they could do was point their guns at me like dogs that can bark but

~AthenaWe had only been running for about fifteen minutes when Jessica spoke, glancing at us from the corner of her eyes."They are gaining ground on us. Both of you will have to continue without me. We can't let them see all three of us," she said, short of breath."No, let's all run together and hide," I refuted."No, my queen, that wouldn't be a good idea. I will wait and fight them off while both of you keep running and find somewhere safe to hide.""Richard said you should protect us, not leave us!" I uttered loudly, the wind carrying my words."Trust me, my queen, this is the best protection I can give," she stopped running, and we stopped too.I shook my head at her, "You can't do this Jessica! We are all in this together."She held my hand and that of my mum's, "Please listen to me, both of you. I need you to keep running and not look back. When I am done fighting them off, I will come find you, okay?"I didn't have words, I didn't want to leave her, but I knew her mind was m
~RichardIt has been at least about one hour since we fled into the woods. James and I, along with a few other men, were with us. Nuella had gone in the opposite direction. She had said she was going to lure the witch to herself.James and I have at least killed about 100 men that crossed our paths. We killed them silently without using bullets; it was better that way because we didn't want to draw attention to our hiding spot. Hearing Nuella say that the witch helped Frederick forge bullets that could actually kill me had shocked me to my bones.Due to that fact, I had to be very careful and play the waiting game. When Nuella, James, and I reached an intersection in the woods that was divided into two pathways, I had dropped my cloth at the entrance of the left side of the woods where Nuella said I should run into, with hope that the witch would sniff my scent and send Frederick in to find me while she would go in search of Nuella's energy.For the past hour, he hasn't crossed our pa
~AthenaMy heart leapt into my throat as I heard my mother scream, "Athena!"Jessica immediately lunged at us and swiftly swung her leg in the air, kicking the gun away from our grip. I fell backward to the floor, still in shock at what had happened. Jessica pinned the man down with her body, delivering strong blows to his face. She had witnessed everything that had happened.My mum rushed to my side immediately. "Athena, were you shot? Are you hurt?" she asked, her voice trembling with fear.I held her hand, preventing it from roaming further on my body. "I am fine, Mum. I wasn't shot," I sighed."Really?"I nodded, seeing her eyes flood with relief. It was fortunate that as werewolves, we had sharp eyes that could see clearly in the dark.We glanced in the direction of Jessica, who was pinning the man to the ground, hitting him as hard as she could. At this point, his face was bloodied. I had known Jessica was strong, but I didn't realize how strong until now.I had been amazed by t
~AthenaJessica, my mum, and I were running as fast as our legs could carry us when my mother suddenly fell to the cold ground."I can't, I can't go any further," she said, trying to catch her breath. We were all out of breath. We had been running ever since we left the mansion without pausing, so I wasn't surprised she was already exhausted. In fact, I was tired too, but we had to go on; we had to keep running, and I needed to make her understand that."Mum, please, we need to get going," I begged. She shook her head and took in a lungful of air as she tried to steady her breathing.Jessica, who was scouting the area with her gun in hand, backpedaled to us, her eyes not leaving the woods. She lowered herself when she reached us and spoke with a serious tone, "I am afraid we don't have the luxury of resting, Rebecca. We just need to get as far away as possible from the mansion. Right now, we are just about three kilometers away.""I am so tired, I can't…"My mum was still in the midd
~RichardOur eyes were fixed on them, waiting to know what exactly was wrong and why they hadn't gone in yet."Do you think they know we are not in there?" James asked, his voice hushed."It is not possible. I created a great force inside the mansion; they would definitely sense the energy and believe that there are people inside," Nuella whispered."If that is the case, why are they not going in for the kill?" James asked."At this point, I think we would just have to wait and see what they intend to do," I replied, and just then the witch smiled and stretched out her hand to Frederick."Look," I tapped James, who was a bit distracted; he was glancing behind him, as though he was making sure everyone was staying put in their positions.He turned just in time to see Frederick put something in the witch's hand. "What could that be?""I don't know, it looks like…""It is a time bomb! I can hear the timer!" Nuella said, her eyes shut as though she was focusing on something. They want t
~RichardI watched Athena leave with her mother and Jessica. A part of me went with her. I had vowed after she survived the incident with Sebastian that I was never going to let her out of my sight ever again, but look where we are now. Fate has dealt us a heavy blow, showing us how cruel it can be. She would be safer there than she would be here.There is definitely going to be a bloodbath here tonight, and I don't want her to experience any of that. She has been through so much already; she doesn't need to be put through any more traumatic experiences.Nuella, James, and I led the members of staff, the elders, and everyone else in the building outside, into the woods, but not too far away from the mansion. They would stay hidden there until we returned from procuring the weapons from the firearms department. Every man was eligible to wield a firearm for this battle; the only people who would be exempted are children, and thankfully, there are none around.I had told Jessica to tell
