" You are hurt! Why aren't you healing yet?" Oksana remarked as she looked down at my fresh wounds. I had noticed as well that my wounds weren't getting any better. But the wounds in my heart were much bigger than this. Words of that old woman still haunted my heart.Was I not the legitimate king?I was grateful that Oksana still paid attention to me. The rest of the pack was busy taking care of the members who had been hurt. Vittoria replied, looking between me and Oksana," He..he is hurt by any person with magic. Magical wounds don't heal so fast, Luna."Oksana's face crumpled in concern. She muttered, appearing uneasy," All...all of them??"I hummed, touching the bandage in my hand," Yes! We couldn't stop the impact. Just one spell shook us all."Oksana looked worried, her eyes melting in fear. Vittoria suggested, gaining Oksana's attention," We should..check others as well, Luna. Some of the werewolves didn't have any family."Oksana nodded in return and left me alone in the
|| SILVIA STUART's POV ||" I can't wait to meet you! Remember our secret place?"I smiled shyly at the text, sent by my boyfriend, Maxim. He was the best thing that happened after my father's demise. I was devastated and broken. My father, Christen Stuart had more than enough assets for me to live in this world without any worry. But unlucky for me, the bank, several people came right after the day he died. After paying them off, I had almost nothing.Maxim became my sole support at that time. Thankfully, I had this job now which could give me a little relief. My boss's shrill voice rang from my opposite side, destroying my dream," SILVIA! PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR DUTY! YOU HAVE RUINED IT ONCE." I quickly hid my phone. I worked in the bakery for the first time. A cake was ruined by me after I was distracted from the oven. I replied, pursing my lips nervously," Ye...Yes..Boss..I was just checking."Maxim and I decided to celebrate his birthday together. He booked a room for us and I c
|| SILVIA STUART's POV ||All of it made sense to me. I knew those burning brown eyes. My father taught me how to differentiate among werewolves. The man's aura was already giving the vibe of the head of the pack. I stuttered, fear crippling into my heart," What.. what did he..do? My father.. won't kill anyone innocent."It was the belief that held my heart. My father used to tell us that they were the beasts who harmed people. He was saving the humans by killing those werewolves. The Alpha spat, rage flashing in his eyes," HE KILLED MY MATE AND MY UNBORN CHILD."The news stunned me. My father was a never cruel man and trusting a werewolf never crossed my mind. I shook my head, refusing to believe,"I'm.. Impossible.."The Alpha outstretched his hand to me, his cold fingers came in contact with my jaw as he forced me with a snarl," SEE IT BY YOURSELF!"As confused as I was, I was suddenly attracted like a magnet in his eyes. Visions started to play in his eyes and I was lost in it
|| SETH VOLKOV's POV ||" Alpha..are you aware that she might die when it is the time to deliver the baby?" The pack healer asked me hesitantly, confusion puzzling across her eyes. She was shocked to see my human surrogate. Silvia had been quiet ever since I brought her to my pack. I let her lover go but could tell that she was madly in love with him.I replied to my healer sharply, with strong hatred burning inside me," JUST DO THE FUCKING JOB! SHE IS DOING IT WILLINGLY, CAN'T YOU SEE?"Her father ruined my life. I still remember the haunted night when I lost everything. Her father stepped foot on my pregnant Luna, asked with a psychotic smile," Her or the baby?"I chose the baby but ended up losing both. My mate bled to death and begged me to get revenge for her. Her pleading eyes never let me sleep after that day. My healer nodded obediently and went inside the room, a white curtain separating us.Finding a surrogate was the only way to continue my legacy. I was the only heir in
|| SILVIA'S POV ||" What..do you want me to say.."If the Devil had another form, I did not doubt that it would be SETH VOLKOV. His smile was contagious. I expected nothing good from his offer. Pressing my lips together, I waited for his order like an obedient girl, ignoring Maxim's scream in the background. Seth lent onto me, his warm breath sending a chill down my spine," Go and tell your boy that you love me & YOU WILL BE STAYING WITH ME FROM NOW ON."My mouth fell open speechlessly. Even Devil was better than Seth Volkov. He wanted me to hurt the only person that I had in my life. I refused to shake my head immediately," IMPOSSIBLE! IT'S A LIE! I WON'T HURT HIM."Seth's eyes clouded in rage as he breathed his words out, sneering at me," Then WATCH HIM DIE!"His eyes signaled at someone opposite the car's window. Instantly, cries from Maxim came to my ears, shocking me. My head whipped behind in his direction. He was being elbowed by Seth's two monstrous guards. I cried out, b
|| SILVIA'S POV || " ALESSIO!!!"Alpha Seth roared, his face contouring in disgust. Alessio seemed ignorant of his reaction. He picked up my hand delicately and placed a small kiss on the back of it, introducing himself," Alessio Ronalds, the beta of Hellfire Howlers. At your service, Luna."Madeline roared out with a cry, glaring at Alessio," ALESSIO! YOU..."Alessio blinked up at her, uttering with all the innocence that he had," What?? I am just stating the fact, Miss Madeline. Besides, why do you look so upset? I remember it very clearly when you took the oath. You said that you don't desire the position of Luna in the pack. You just want to stay beside the Alpha, isn't it?"Madeline opened her mouth to say something but she quickly went silent with a conflicted expression. She seemed like she wanted to strangle Alessio to death.I liked the smiling guy Alessio. He was a little bit younger than Alpha Seth in age. Unlike his Alpha's rude character, he was quite the opposite of
|| SILVIA'S POV || The dress slipped off my shoulders, almost exposing the valley between my breasts. They all laughed down at me, enjoying the sight of a pathetic woman. I felt so exposed in front of them that I wanted to cry badly.Alessio strode downstairs in a rush, holding me up from the ground as he growled at his Alpha," ALPHA! She is pregnant. Don't be so harsh on her for fuck's sake."Alessio then took his coat off to wrap it around my body. My heart couldn't take it anymore as tears began to fall from my eyes. Did he do it deliberately to humiliate me?Alpha Seth snapped at him, letting out a scoff," Then tell her to not FUCKING wear the clothes of my mate."Alessio muttered with an exhale, getting on his feet with me," She didn't know. She is a human and doesn't know the rules here. Please.. don't be so cold to the mother of your child."Alpha Seth growled with a sneer, walking back to sit at his place," She is no mother to my child. She is just a surrogate."More t
|| SETH VOLKOV's POV || " I don't want to go. I feel like a puppet being dragged everywhere!" Silvia Stewart whined annoyingly as I led her to my car. She had been nagging me since yesterday and I was close enough to lose control of my temper. I growled at her, buckling the seatbelt, " Do not open your fucking mouth. Your presence is required there. If you speak shit in front of them..then I will..." She cut me off with a challenging glare, her eyes turning red in anger, " What?? Cut the shit out of me? Or kill me with your heir?" I was awestruck by her words. No one ever challenged me or dared to speak like her. Even though she was a human, she was no less than a spitfire. I replied with a smirk, pinching on her chin, " No! I will kill your dear MAXIM." Her face went pale and I had never felt so much better for threatening anyone. She was silent all through the ride. I felt annoyed and relieved at the same time. The drive to the council house took one hour. By the time, we
