~JADEN~
"Sir Jaden, we haven't found any valid information on her background yet. Everything seems hidden," one of my men reported. "Nothing valid? Is her life so private?" I demanded coldly. "No, sir. But..." he stuttered. "But what? You weren't focused? You don't have enough resources, or you just don't care?" "No! Not that, sir," he whimpered. "Two fucking days! Two fucking days, and if you still don't come here with a valid reason, I swear I will have your head cut off and send it to your family," I warned icily. "Sir... I..." "Crash that and get to work!" The man standing next to me flinched. "Now!" I added, and he ran out of my office. How could they not find anything on her? I had given them more than two weeks, and yet they still couldn't find any valid information about her parents. None of them knew who her parents were. Were they wiped out of existence? No news of them being dead or alive? Yet it's stated that she has both parents online, and they never left. Why, then, was she abandoned? Shouldn't they have come after their child? All these questions filled me up. I know I shouldn't be worried, but somehow I'm disturbed. If she doesn't belong to the Omega family, what then does she belong to? She can't possibly have an alpha aura when she's just a mere omega. What secret is the Dark Sparrow Pack hiding? I am tired of digging and searching for the truth and wallowing in curiosity. I don't know if this is happening because I was curious, but I desperately need to find out who she really is. I hadn't seen her for days now. Hadn't been to the pack since the incident, although I have been keeping a close eye on her. The last thing I wanted right now was to allow those fucking bastards called enemies to come near my mate. She doesn't know this, but there are guards protecting her every single damn time. I missed her. I still wanted her. I can't fight my feelings, so being distant and away from her is the only way to set myself free from this enchantment. I don't know what is going on, but I am definitely not having her consume my thoughts today. Not now, when I have a lot to deal with. "Alpha Drego and Alpha Dante are at the conference hall, with some humans," Beta Richford announced. "I'll be there within a second," I responded. Humans! They are corny, selfish, and greedy. Mr. Mookes is here, despite everything he's done. Scoff. Guess he doesn't know yet! I walked in to see him sitting elegantly, with Alpha Dante and Alpha Drego. Humans don't know what we are. Not once did we think to let them know our true identity. Currently, I'm in the human world. I've been here for days now, since I needed to avoid Areilla and fight the demons in me who constantly crave her. "Sit, please!" Mr. Mookes offered, pointing to a chair. "It's my office, my territory, you don't tell me when to sit." "Oh," he mouthed out. "Document, please!" I stretched my hand towards him. Alpha Drego and Dante had been sitting and staring at the guy since I walked in. They seemed not to trust him a bit, not after he stabbed us in the back first. "Mr. Mookes, these are the same terms you didn't oblige to days ago," I said. I needed no soothsayer to tell me. He shrugged and nodded. "Yes, but I added a few terms. You build the castle you want, offer my company the compensation of 70%, and we are good to go. I added these clauses," he muttered, pointing to another page. "We believe we made it clear about changing the variables," Alpha Drego said. "But we are still on the variables, just an added clause! It's still a win-win," Mr. Mookes pointed out. A frown formed on my face. A win-win? How can he be so cruel? Days ago, he offered the same percentage to De' Salviano. He already sealed the deal with De' Salviano. How dare he try to fool us? "Alright, then, guess we'd work with it," I announced, and Alpha Drego and Dante stared at me in confusion. "We can't, we already know he's playing us," they said, and I calmed them down. "A deal is a deal. We can't go back now, our company needs this." "But it's a trick. He already sold it to De' Salviano," Alpha Drego pointed out. "The highest bidder wins," Mr. Mookes said. "De' Salviano fought for it. I have another portion for you." "And that includes. Your wife, kids, son, or company?" Shock! Yeah! Of course, he should be. For trying to play a dangerous trick on me. "You've got to choose. I have them under my palm. Wouldn't want me to blow them off, will you?" I said, and I slowly dug my hand into my suit pocket and brought out a gun. Alpha Drego and Dante gasped. I also brought out the lighter, filled up my jar of puff, and then inhaled it immediately. "Please, I didn't mean to outsmart you, they threatened me," Mr. Mookes begged. Beta Richford just walked in with one of his men's heads. And that prompted him to go on his knees with fear. "You could have come to me, yet you chose to outsmart me. I don't mind blowing your fucking brain off and feeding you to the lions." "A heavy compensation would be paid to your family, believe me," I puffed out some fumes in the air. I bent to look at the shaking man, who flinched and started shaking vigorously. "You planned to rip us off, waste our time, and then what?" "Go scot-free, I guess," Alpha Drego said, and I frowned. He didn't have to interfere. I wanted him to just watch. Fear. Humans are prone to fear. That's what they are very good at. I love it when they beg for mercy. They are always at my mercy, and yet they still choose to trick me. "24 hours to return the deal, rewrite the clauses, and hand it over to him," I pointed at Alpha Drego. "Else, I'll feed you to the dogs." "Did I make myself clear?" I asked demandingly, and he nodded while fidgeting. "Yes, sir." Good! That's what I need to hear. "Meeting dismissed, you are all free to leave, especially you," I pointed the gun at Mr. Mookes. An evil smile sculpted on my face as I released a bullet into his hand. Blood! Blood is all I see, and the smell of it is enticing. When the bullet landed on him, a scream escaped his lips, which he immediately covered with his hands as he whimpered. I asked my men to drag him off after that and take care of the mess before leaving to my underworld room. The loud scream and weeping voice of these fearful men could be heard as I made my way towards the inner room, a room isolated away in the underworld where the blood and heads of those who tampered with what belonged to me were hanged. I took a quick glance at those minions on the floor, and my blood boiled. Each of them had their own crimes. They committed one way or another. They sinned against me. Hurt my woman, and I am ready to make them pay. I walked to one, with my gun still clinging to my hand. "You," I mumbled. "These hands," I whispered, taking his hand slowly as fear took a quick grasp on him. "You touched her, harassed her, and even tried to molest her with these hands," I scoffed. "No, please have mercy," he begged, and I ended up laughing devilishly. I stood to my feet, emitting the word "mercy." "You didn't think of mercy before trying to rape her several times." "She's done nothing wrong. Her only offense was being an Omega, and yet you harassed her?" "I don't know what you are talking about," he wept. I released a bullet into his hand immediately, and he yelped. "Areilla Green. My woman," I revealed, and he started shivering in fear. The sight of this somehow caused excitement to wash through me. "I... I... I... Please..." No words! "Mercy? You want mercy? She begged you for one, but you never gave in. What makes you think I'd give in?" I shut his legs before he could respond. Yes, I am filled with excitement just by watching the blood oozing from both his hands and leg. Leo wasn't left out. He's joyful, and he continues to giggle excitedly. I'd bet on my life that right now, he's having much more fun than me. No one messed with what's mine, and they did that to my woman. They all tried to molest my mate and tore her apart. I shot at him once more, and he lay dead on the floor. I laughed hysterically. "No one hurts her. She's my woman." I could see the rest of the minions trembling. They are seethed in fear and agony. Yes! This is it. They signed up for it the moment they hurt her.ARIELLA "Fuck! Yes, right there!" I heard the strange words coming from Alpha Dante's room. I paused for a moment, staring at the door in amusement. Some crazy thoughts filled my head, and I tried to shove them away.My name was Ariella Donald, and I was 20 years old that day. I had recently discovered that my mate was none other than my pack alpha, Alpha Dante. Currently, I was on the verge of losing my sanity. Since the day I found out that Alpha Dante was my mate, my life had been nothing but a life of mystery buried in shame and rejection.Being his mate was nothing to be proud of, since he never acknowledged me as one, nor was he ready to be committed to me. He despised me in all glory and would always do everything to talk trash and down on me. I had been nothing but a punching bag to the queen, who was his mother, and Lora, his chosen mate.The increasing moans and soft groans coming from inside the room interrupted my thoughts vaguely, making me shudder. I couldn't disc
ARIELLASlap!!I received a resounding slap on my face the moment I entered the queen mother's room.“How dare you?!" she yelled, obviously too angry.Tears brimmed in my eyes. Of course, I was confused. I did nothing wrong. What was the slap for?“I asked you to call him, not watch him have sex, you low-life slave!” she added.“Sorry, Queen Mother. You wanted him immediately,” I said.“Say that to yourself, freak!” she stated, obviously more irritated than ever.“Mum, I'm here," Dante announced, stepping into the room, and he got even more irritated when he saw me standing.“What is she doing here, Mum? She's a low-life! Why did you let her into your room?" he complained bitterly as he glared at me with spite while making steady steps toward his mother.A part of me was hurt, considering he was my mate, but at the same time, I knew better. This was never his first time discriminating against me.“She needed to be punished. She's of no importance right now. The king is coming. We are
ARIELLA It was finally the time for the engagement party. I know this day was going to come. Even as much as I tried to denied it, I know I wouldn't denied it forever and my life is going to be really over . He's getting engaged, and with this going on. I was in for my room, this time I would be consumed with pain and hurt. They'd definitely make my life miserable. I am definitely escaping this hell. I know it was time for me to escape and as such, I may try to escape this night since everywhere would be so occupied. “What if you get caught again? That mean the end of us this time around" my inner wolf reminded me. I shrug, of course I know this better than anyone but when then is the good about this? One way or the other they would definitely make my life miserable. I watch as they all troop in to see Lycan king Arthur Jaden. And from a distance, I can also feel his aura around me. He's tall, light in complexion, his caramel eyes were shining through the darkness
~JADEN~ An Omega. That's what she is. A low blood, that's what I was told. That's what everyone believe, how then? Is this possible? Her scent is enticing, her aura is unmatched. Who are you? You are neither weak like an Omega, neither did you look like one. To make it worse , she's my mate. Leo has been screaming mate in my head since we saw her . He craved her! He wanted her. And I am trying my best to fight the urge. I kept on staring lustfuly at her. I don't know why the pull is so strong, so enticing. She's irresistible and the way she looks at me is so enthralling, my eyes passionately dugs into her and I can feels she's brazen. She looks so tattered, so unkept and at the same time she's very much beautiful. Her curves were perfect even with what she was wearing. I didn't think I would meet her , not in my widest dream did I think the moon goddess would imprint me with another mates. But standing, before the pretty damsels, who my wolf wants right no
~ARIELLA~ I saw a man staring at me weirdly while I was still gripped by fear as I looked at my angry mate, who was being held by the man. When he said, "Lock him up, he's a rapist," I couldn't help but feel safe for the first time in a long time. Never did I think someone would stand up to my bullies one day. I never thought I would be protected from any of them, but standing here, watching my mate punch and beat Dante up so mercilessly, seemed soothing. "Sir Jaden, you're..." "I will meet you at the hall. Ensure he's properly locked up and do not let anyone order his release until I say so," Arthor Jaden said icily, and the man who had been staring at me the whole time nodded. I could see fear in Dante's eyes, and somehow, it filled the void in my heart. I watched them grab him and roughly bundle him out of the room, and I couldn't help but sigh deeply after the door was closed roughly behind us. For the first time, I felt so relaxed, relieved, and I could breathe in fresh
~ARIELLA~His words hung in the air like steam fog. I kept staring at the man who had just walked into my life. And each time our eyes met, I was reminded that the most feared and respected Lycan king was my mate. Right now, he had abruptly claimed me. He was asking me to be his woman, and these words felt strange—especially coming from him. The same man who was known for being fearless, heartless, arrogant, and rude.I still couldn't believe the man standing before me, his eyes locked onto mine, he had just asked me this question out of the blue . The same man I had thought would immediately reject the mate bond. He wanted to claim me. My body wanted him, but I still couldn't accept it. It was too beautiful to be true, and I doubted his sincerity. I had seen the look of disappointment on his face when he first found out I was his mate. How could he suddenly accept me? Again, didn't this seem a bit weird and awkward?"You want me to be your woman?" I asked, finally gathering t
~JADEN~ She was enticing. I wanted her. I knew I wanted her more than I had said to her earlier. And I was currently denying myself the chance of being a victim to my feelings, like I had been before. But at the same time. I couldn't possibly use her, not after what she had gone through in this pack, and that was why I came clean to her. I needed her to make decisions for herself. I never wanted to force my decision on her. As much as I wanted an heir, her opinion mattered. I wouldn't want to be the reason she cried. After what she had gone through, I knew she needed one person on her side. I might not be that person, but I promised to be a better mate to her and always look out for her. I don't know why I was drawn to her, but maybe it was because I was interested in her since she didn't seem like an Omega. I had been glaring at her since I held her hands when I abruptly declared those words of possession and command. After I found out she was my mate, I imm
~ARIELLA~ Each time I heard him murmur silently, my heart beat faster. I knew I desired this man. I wanted him. He was alluring, enchanting, and captivating. Even while lying next to him, I couldn't get enough of him. I didn't know what had suddenly changed, but I could tell that I had never felt this way before. Not with Dante. For a man whose sole aim was to make me his breeder or contracted bride, I knew I shouldn't be feeling this way towards him when I knew what would happen in the end. But I couldn't help it either. I wished to avoid this, but my wolf and my body wanted something else. Something I couldn't help but crave more than my wolf. It suddenly dawned on me that my life right now was more messed up than I thought it was. If not, why would I be craving the same man who had rejected me? His aura always caused me to wobble in fear. He was the most feared, ruthless king, and right now, I was at his mercy. Although he acted differently, that did
~JADEN~"Sir Jaden, we haven't found any valid information on her background yet. Everything seems hidden," one of my men reported."Nothing valid? Is her life so private?" I demanded coldly."No, sir. But..." he stuttered."But what? You weren't focused? You don't have enough resources, or you just don't care?""No! Not that, sir," he whimpered."Two fucking days! Two fucking days, and if you still don't come here with a valid reason, I swear I will have your head cut off and send it to your family," I warned icily."Sir...

~ARIELLA~I still couldn't comprehend what he meant by his words but assumed that was it.We finally consummated our relationship, and he exploded all his load on me.So I know, technically, he wanted an heir, and right now, I was just used for his sexual pleasure.More like a toy, I guess, while I produce his heir.I was still lost, basking in the aftermath of the sex we just had, and yet he left.He didn't turn to look at me after that.He washed up and left with his words hanging in the air.I slowly dragged myself from the bed. I was covered with bloodstains, and also, I felt sore between my legs.I had to wash up too, and I couldn't stop thinking about what happened while in the bathroom.His words were still fresh in my ear.The man that was nice and sensual to me in bed a few minutes ago was suddenly cold and icy towards me.I guess this is what I signed up for, and I needed to get used to his cold demeanor and hurtful words.I soon dragged myself out of the bathroom, wore anot
~ARIELLA~He slowly trailed his hands all over me, and my breath seized.I found myself drooling over him and succumbing to the kiss.My body burned with immense desires as he wrapped his hands around me.My heart yearned for him.My wolf couldn't help it either. She was lost in the kiss, and desires flooded her."My body keeps wanting you," I watched him say as he broke the kiss.His eyes pierced through mine, and only desire was seen in them.His caramel blue eyes changed to red, and they are flooded with desires.One I couldn't explain."I want you always," he added. "My wolf wants you, and I don't know how to stop," he stated, his tone feeling different.He's currently being consumed with desires.Then he drew me closer and smashed his lips forcefully against mine for the second time.I felt hotness down within my legs.I was wet!Desire surged through me.I didn't know when I wrapped my hands all over him, and he slowly guided me to the bed.The sound of our hearts beating heavil
~JADEN~I only see her.I can't focus.Even when I try to.She's been appearing and taking over my mind.This time, my wolf isn't at work. He's not the one pushing me, but my own desires.I want this woman.No matter how hard I try to fight my feelings.I know I want her.I desperately crave her, and it seems as if the more I try to fight my unquenchable desires, the more I desire her.The more I want her.And the more I want to have her.I want to hear her scream my name loudly while I thrust deep into her.My dick wouldn't help. It kept arousing even at the thought of her.The thought of her sucking and screaming my name caused it to be erect.If only I hadn't met her at the Dark Sparrow Pack.Maybe things would have been different.I haven't craved anyone the way I crave her.I haven't been subjected to this much distraction.I always control my desires.But this time, I tried, and it's not working. I am only consumed by the thought of her dancing and screaming my name, with my dic
~ARIELLA~My heart beat tremendously, and my gaze was vaguely fixed upon the man whom I had just granted access into my life a few days ago.I'm about to say yes, I do, to the man whom I think may end up bringing death to me.But can I stop my heart from wanting him?Can I stop myself from craving and desiring him all the time?With each deep breath, I found myself relentlessly wishing and praying to the moon goddess that I was making the right decision.I knew this may be tragic.I knew what he wanted, and yet I was still accepting this because my heart yearned for him."And you two can now be pronounced husband and wife," I heard the words that sounded cringe to my ear.Husband and wife?Everyone clapped. They were all joyful, even while we were at the altar.I could feel his distance. Each time his eyes collided with mine, my heart ended up beating very fast, and I felt steady hotness within me.I couldn't explain why it happened, but all I knew was that he had a great effect on m
~ARIELLA~"She'll come around," my inner wolf, Ariel, said as I felt some connection between myself and Jaden.How? We never bonded. We didn't consummate our relationship, neither did we ever kiss or share a mate bond connection. So, how did Ariel do that?I had quickly disconnected the mind link when I heard his voice. I could have sworn he was very shocked, more than I had imagined. How could he not be when this suddenly happened?"Ariel, what have you done?" I reprimanded my wolf angrily. "Why did you connect through the mind link and eavesdrop on their conversation?"How did she even do that? We've never connected freely with anyone, not even with our first mate.I expected Ariel to be reasonable, but she only spat out angrily."She's mean and unhinged," Ariel rolled her eyes sarcastically. "Leo wanted us to connect. She wanted to speak to us. I had no choice," she added grumpily, without any form of guilt."Besides, his wolf wanted us. I don't know why he's building a barrier a
~JADEN~Everyone's eyes were fixated gently on Ariella as she made her way towards the house.I could tell from the way she was holding onto me that she was definitely very nervous.I could feel her heart beating loudly against her chest while she held onto my hands like her life depended on it.I knew I needed to be there for her, to make her feel wanted and among the people, so I practically made sure the pack was placed in order before her arrival.I had earlier put a call through to the pack when she decided to follow me. I had always known the Shadow Pack to be one of the most supportive packs.I knew they would give her the full support she needed as the Luna.When she stepped fully into the house, they all bowed to me and her. "Welcome, Queen Ariella and King Jaden," everyone chorused, setting the tone.She smiled at them.I could still feel her nervousness. She wasn't used to my world yet. When they bowed, I noticed she actually wanted to join them, but I was quick to make he
~ARIELLA~I could see the shocked expression on his face. It was evidence enough to know that he was still in a state of awe.Perhaps basking in euphoria, thinking I might be playing with him.But I wanted this.I knew it sounded so lame and awkward, but I couldn't deny it. A part of me wanted this man.How could I fight my feelings?I wasn't the Moon Goddess who made things awkward, and instead of being a slave for the rest of my life, why not jump at this opportunity?I didn't know how I felt about this decision of mine, but what I was certain about was that I wouldn't regret it.At least, not yet."Are you sure about this? Is this what you want?" Sir Arthur Jaden, my mate, asked.He kept staring strangely at me. Maybe he didn't think I would accept his offer."Very sure. I'll be your woman," I ended up nodding as I said these words confirmatively.My inner wolf was happy. This was what she desired, to be close to him and inhale his scent always."You aren't making this decision be
~ARIELLA~ Each time I heard him murmur silently, my heart beat faster. I knew I desired this man. I wanted him. He was alluring, enchanting, and captivating. Even while lying next to him, I couldn't get enough of him. I didn't know what had suddenly changed, but I could tell that I had never felt this way before. Not with Dante. For a man whose sole aim was to make me his breeder or contracted bride, I knew I shouldn't be feeling this way towards him when I knew what would happen in the end. But I couldn't help it either. I wished to avoid this, but my wolf and my body wanted something else. Something I couldn't help but crave more than my wolf. It suddenly dawned on me that my life right now was more messed up than I thought it was. If not, why would I be craving the same man who had rejected me? His aura always caused me to wobble in fear. He was the most feared, ruthless king, and right now, I was at his mercy. Although he acted differently, that did
