His question made Everett's blood all freeze in her body. She recalled how Ryan was punished for giving her a hand. She didn't want Arietta to go through the same suffering. Everett lied, her heart pounding wildly against her ribcages, " Me.. medicine... Treatment..." Fredrick narrowed his gaze on her answer. He was no fool to know that simple ointment did work on her quickly especially since she was a human. To her surprise, he ran his hands over her scarred back. Everett's body stiffened in unknown fear until she heard his rough and angry voice, " A wolf helped you! Who is he?" Everett's eyes turned big wide in shock. She didn't think that Fredrick would catch her so easily. As a new person among Lycans, she didn't know that the Lycans had possessed some great powers. One of them was to detect another wolf or Lycan by their power smelling sense. Everett stumbled on her words, trying to sound convincing, " No one... really... It's just an ointment..I...I..aah.." All of a sudden,
" YOU ARE FUCKING KIDDING, DIEGO!!"It was my wolf who made the piercing comment, not addressing Diego as her Alpha anymore. I could only whimper inside to see my wolf, rising in defense. I wasn't an object to sell off. It was my life and I had the final choice to make one.Diego shot me a death glare, his canines popping out in rage. His wolf hated the fact that I called him by his name. His male ego was hurt but it didn't get hurt when he was talking about offering myself to the cruel, heartless, dragon king.Diego snarled, his deathly eyes laying on me," SHUT THE FUCK UP!! I made the choice! I am your Alpha and your mate. You will do what I tell you."I felt thousands of daggers, cutting my heart into pieces. Diego never cared about me but never in my imagination, I thought that someday he would make me bait to save the whole pack.King Gideon's eyes finally locked with mine. Even though he didn't say anything, I could feel a dark gleam, lurking behind his eyes. His gaze was too u
|| SILVIA's POV ||" He has started a war...for you ...."Alessio whispered into my ear, snapping me out of my thoughts. I stared at the mess in the room. Seth had butchered a few of the werewolves, roaring like a lion. He seemed like he had lost his consciousness.I swallowed the fear in my heart. I didn't know why Alessio believed that I could calm the mad Alpha. I observed Seth for a while. His eyes were glowing like the sunlight, a burning anger riding through his veins. My heart flew out of my chest in fear. I turned to Alessio, already giving up on the decision," I can't... Perhaps I will die but I can't do this shit."I tried to walk away from there but Alessio gripped me back in my position. He looked deep into my eyes, pleading and begging so brokenly," Please...He won't hurt you. You are carrying his child. Your child can calm him down. He has already done enough harm. Don't let him do it again."I couldn't ignore the plea in his voice. Letting out a sigh, I looked back int
|| SETH'S POV ||" You called for me?"Silvia spoke, peering her head through the door. She still didn't understand the fact that she had all the damn rights to walk through my office. I liked how she didn't feel desired for the position of Luna.I hummed softly, closing down the trading sheet that Alessio gave me," Yes, come inside."Silvia walked in, my eyes subconsciously falling on her belly. She had started to show her baby bump. Although all was forced on her, it made me so damn proud that my hair was growing inside her belly. She took the seat in front of me, her eyes resting on me curiously," Anything important?"I expelled a long sigh, preparing myself for the worst. I broke the news slowly, waiting for her reaction," You are coming with me to a ball tonight as my female companion."Surprise flickered in her eyes. She gulped before asking with a tight jaw," Means? As your mistress or girlfriend or what, Alpha?"My jaw clenched tight at her question. It annoyed me since my
|| SILVIA's POV ||I waited for his answer anxiously. Even though the reality was in front of me, I held onto that one percent hope. The media was crazy about taking pictures.His delay in response was bringing more intensity to the situation. Seth was silent for a good while until he wrapped his hand tight around my waist. He muttered weakly, shocking the reporters," She is my official Luna. No more questions!"He started dragging me forward carefully. I kept hearing the questions, thrown by the reporters," Is she your mate, Alpha? You haven't cleared the question. ALPHA!! ALPHA!!"Seth didn't answer any more of their questions. Although he didn't make it clear, I felt happy that he didn't call me 'his mistress'. All eyes were on me as soon as we appeared at the banquet. A woman in a Barbie gown came over to us with a big smile," Oh, Alpha Seth! What a pleasure! I thought that you would be missing the Alpha's birthday."Seth greeted her politely, bending his head down slightly," P
" You shouldn't be here, Your Majesty! Miss Titania is still in the castle."I gasped in shock as soon as I entered the room and found Asher on the red couch. He gave me a black look, a silent-like expression crossing his eyes. I swallowed the lump in my throat. I knew that he was upset with the decision to meet Viktor often.He said nothing in return. Instead, a growl came out from his Alpha voice," Crawl to me. NOW!!"I was a little taken aback by his order. But I didn't wish to provoke him anymore. Instead, I went on my knees carefully, crossing the room slowly until I was in his reach and he grasped my chin. I let out a painful whine when he growled in my face," YOU...Are you so happy to be fucked by your mate? Do you wish to see her, Athena? All because he is your fucking mate?"I couldn't deny his words. I bit my lips hard painfully, letting him vent out his anger. I replied with a sigh, looking up into his eyes," But...I am still..your slave. You..are my master."His anger s
Asher burst into the room, his presence filled the space with an overwhelming intensity, his eyes blazing with fury as they landed on Viktor and me. I could see the anger etched into every line of his face, his jaw clenched tightly as he took in the sight before him. For a moment, I was frozen in place, unable to tear my gaze away from him as he moved closer, his fists clenched at his sides."What the hell is going on here?" Asher demanded, his voice sharp and filled with barely-contained rage as he advanced toward Viktor. "What did he do to you, Athena?"I opened my mouth to speak, to explain that Viktor hadn't harmed me, but before I could utter a single word, Asher was upon Viktor, his fists raining down on him with a relentless fury. I watched in horror as the two men exchanged blows, their bodies colliding with a sickening thud as they grappled with each other in the confined space of the room."Stop it, Asher!" I cried out, my voice laced with desperation as I rushed forward, tr
As I raced through the corridors of Alpha Gerrat's castle, my heart pounding with fear and rage, I felt a sense of urgency like never before. Each step echoed like a thunderclap in the silence of the castle, my mind consumed by thoughts of Athena and the danger she faced.Finally, I reached the room where I had last seen her, my heart skipping a beat as I pushed open the door and entered. What I found inside made my blood run cold.There she lay, crumpled on the floor, her body battered and bruised, her face pale and drawn with pain. My breath caught in my throat as I rushed to her side, my hands trembling as I gently cradled her in my arms."Athena," I whispered, my voice choked with emotion as I brushed a strand of hair from her face. "Can you hear me? Are you alright?"Her eyelids fluttered open, revealing eyes clouded with pain and confusion. "Viktor?" she murmured, her voice barely a whisper. "What happened?"I felt a surge of rage coursing through me as I looked down at her, her
