2024-10-29 19:42:56He let go of her rather roughly causing her to stumble back as she breathed heavily. Her heart thumped so wildly that she was sure it would burst out of her ribcage.
Her back touched the door as she grasped the doorknob tightly in her hand. Her head was lowered down as she stared at the floor terrified. She could feel his gaze drilling holes in her form.
This can't be.
Every cell in her body was trembling in fear. He would kill her pack. But what if he was lying? Then why would he be here all alone? He wasn't lying, he was truly there to attack her pack.
If she tells her brothers. They would fight him head-on. He was alone and she had her brothers, her father, Luca. He can't beat all of them but what if?
What if he killed someone? A chill ran down her spine as she recalled the death of Sarah. It was a brutal blow to all of them, they barely survived it. How could she even live knowing that someone died because of her?
If anything happened to Rasmus what would she say to Catherine? More importantly, would she ever be able to forgive herself?
What about all those innocent people of her pack who would lose their life just because she wasn't willing to go with her mate?
She knew her life would be ruined once she left the safety of her pack but could she be cruel to make innocent people suffer for her safety?
She cannot be selfish.
But she can't be stupid either.
"I...I... need t...time to think," she whispered while her gaze was still down.
She would ask Rasmus to send the warriors to the border and check if Alpha Draken was lying or telling the truth. If there was no backup out there then they would try to capture him. One can't fight against so many skilled warriors and among them all, two were the Alphas and one beta. They would surely be able to capture him. She would then reject him and her brothers would decide his fate.
This way they could capture their enemy and no one would die hopefully but she...
Deep inside it hurts to plan something like this against your mate but he was an enemy. The one who wants to butcher her pack. She would not let him do that at all costs.
"You can have a whole damn minute," He gritted out, causing her wide eyes to meet his dark gaze.
What?
"N...no," She stammered as her hold on the doorknob tightened.
"I n...need m..more time," She stuttered and he tilted his head, narrowing his dark eyes at her. She gulped, her insides churned in fear as yet again her gaze dropped down to the floor. She was scared.
"Forty seconds," He dictated the remaining time.
This wasn't how she thought it would work out. She needs to think of something soon or else she would be in great trouble.
Her eyes darted around the room to look for a weapon. If... if she could hurt him a little, it would be easier for them to bring him down.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk," she stiffened as he took a threatening step toward her. Crossing his muscular arms over his chest, he glared down at her. Her throat became parched as she took the huge frame of his.
He would kill her before she could even touch his single hair.
"Times up," He gritted out and her heart fell into the pit of her stomach when he took two steps closer, so now he was standing in her personal space, hovering over her like a cruel beast.
"What is your decision?" He asked coldly and at the same time, the doorknob twisted. Her arm was taken in a tight hold and he yanked her away from the door on time as it burst open.
"You f*cker!" Hunter snarled as he stalked into the room.
Aurora rubbed her arm where Draken had held her roughly. She watched as her brothers, her father, and Luca stalked in. They all looked furious.
Draken narrowed his eyes at Hunter coldly and before Hunter could charge at him in rage Rasmus stepped in.
"You were alone then how come your men are on our borders?" Rasmus asked menacingly and her heart dropped down to the pit of her stomach.
He wasn't bluffing.
Her throat dried up all of a sudden and it was as if a stone got stuck in her throat. She couldn't even breathe properly.
"I was here to attack but then after finding her I changed my mind," He said calmly and her eyes widened in shock as she noticed the duality in his personality.
Why was he pretending as if he was happy to find her?
"I'd like to take my mate with me to my pack," He said calmly and her stomach dropped into the pit of her stomach.
Why was he acting?
"No, f*ck no!" Hunter snickered as he pushed past Rasmus and stood in front of Draken, glaring at him coldly.
"My sister will reject you and you'll f*cking leave," Hunter menaced but Draken remained calm to such an extent that it terrified her.
"I'll be taking my mate with me," Draken said adamantly and with each of his fake words, her heart dropped even more.
This man was no normal guy. He was a devil in disguise. How could he fake all this?
Xander was silent like a night as he watched Draken with narrowed eyes.
"You're not taking her anywhere," Luca hissed as he stepped forward and Draken's attention fell on the guy, who seemed way too pissed. He can assume that this man was their beta. Luca.
He has done his research on the moon pack before coming here.
"You can't decide for her," Draken gritted out and suddenly, all sets of eyes fell on her as she stiffened under their gaze. She dropped her eyes down. Her heart was pounding in her ears.
"Reject him, Aurora," Luca said and she bit her lower lip hard.
All of a sudden Draken grabbed Luca's collar roughly in a warning and Luca did the same as they glared at each other viciously.
"I...I... w..will go with him," she whispered shakily and everyone stiffened.
Rasmus's eyes widened as he stepped toward his sister. Grabbing her elbow he gently pulled her to the side.
"I will kill him if you're saying this because he threatened you," Rasmus said slowly and she abruptly shook her head. Tears brimmed her eyes.
"H...he s...said he would kill you all if I refused to go and then he w..would still take me with him," She whispered in a small voice. Her heart stiffened and she felt it when his dark gaze fell on her.
Rasmus's wolf showed in his eyes as he turned to face Draken with a cold enraged look, ready to tear him apart, and not only Rasmus everyone heard what she told Rasmus.
Luca growled ready to punch Draken when he grabbed his fist mid-air and glared at him viciously. His eyes shone with hues of gold, his wolf surfacing as he pushed Luca away.
"I'll kill you," Hunter snickered, ready to lunge at him when Draken spoke up.
"She is my mate. I'll take her with me." Draken snickered in menace.
"Over my dead body," Hunter growled as his claws extended.
"Leave, Aurora," Rasmus said calmly as he glared at Draken.
Her legs were frozen but she forced herself to move. Just when she reached the door, he spoke up.
"I'll reject her," Draken said calmly. The calmness of his voice was enough to have her on the edge as she kept her back to him. She was afraid to even look at him.
"But she'll die," his voice was low but calm.
Xander gnashed his molars because he knew Draken was right.
"She's a hybrid. My wolf can't even feel her wolf. Her body can't bear the pain of my rejection." He said calmly as if he knew it all along.
She was frozen like ice. She hasn't told her family that she can't feel her wolf. Agatha had said she would feel her wolf after turning eighteen but she still couldn't feel it. She didn't want to admit it but he was right. She'll die a slow painful death if he rejects her but it was okay. As long as her family and pack were safe, what was she doing?
She was putting their lives in danger.
"I'll g...go with him," she whispered. Because now her family knows it and they won't want her dying. She couldn't even imagine them begging this monster for her life. She had to be strong for them.
She didn't want her family to know this but now they know she would die because of his rejection and this thing alone had put her brothers in a worse situation.
"No, we'll find another way," Rasmus said as Xander fisted his hands on his sides.
"There's no other way," Draken said coolly, causing Hunter to clench his jaw.
"We can make a deal," Draken suggested.
Whereas he seemed calm and composed, Rasmus, Hunter, Luca, and Xander had their hearts in their mouths. The piece of their heart was at the mercy of that f*cker Draken.
What could be worse than that?

Xander was keenly looking at Draken and he had seen through him. It was clear to Xander that Draken wouldn't reject Aurora that was why he let him talk with his daughter. He deliberately said that Draken would reject her just to see Draken's reaction and he got the feeling that Draken wouldn't do that.The man thought he was smart but Xander could read him a little bit."I will keep her safe and protected with me and no harm will come to your pack from my side if she goes with me," Draken said calmly but Hunter was just glaring daggers at him."How do we know you won't hurt her?" Rasmus asked with control over his rage."You have no other choice," Draken said casually as Luca gnashed his molars."I'll p...pack my t..things," Aurora whispered as she was about to leave when Draken stopped her by saying, "there's no need," Aurora clenched her jaw as she faced Rasmus."I'll get my things," she said calmly before walking out of there.

She was frozen in absolute shock. The scream about to escape her lips got muffled by his big, veiny hand that covered almost half of her face."You don't seem to understand me, do you?" He asked coldly as his fingers applied pressure on her cheeks.Her ocean eyes were opened wide as fear danced in them. She immediately tried to get off his lap but his free hand grabbed her thigh keeping her in place.Her frail hands came up as she attempted to remove his hand from her mouth but he just watched her struggle. Her eyes were closed. "Don't scream," He muttered and she immediately nodded her head. He slowly moved his hand away.Aurora took in a deep breath filling her lungs to the fullest as her lips parted slowly and then she screamed at top of her lungs."HELP-" He abruptly covered her mouth again rather roughly and grimaced at her. Her eyes were closed as she tried to pry his hand off her mouth."I f*cking hate disobedience," He hissed lowly near her ear as he pulled her face closer.H
Ruthless Mate 5
She woke up in the middle of the night, for a second she was stunned to see a different ceiling than her room but within a blink, everything came back and she sighed. Her eyes closed shut again. The lamp was on, illuminating the room in a hue of soft orange. She checked the time and it was 2 am. Her eyes widened when she recalled something. Getting out of bed she sprinted to her suitcase and fumbled through the clothes finally finding her phone in there.It was powered off so she switched it on. The screen lit up. Putting a password in, she wrote a text to Rasmus.'Rasmus, how is everyone? I'm okay. Tell everyone not to worry about me. I reached the North pack a few hours ago. I was tired and instantly fell asleep. Just woke up so texting you. Take care of everyone and please don't stress yourselves for me. I'm completely fine.' She pressed the send button and the message was delivered to Rasmus.She didn't wait for his reply and shut down her phone. She knew once he saw the message

All the breath escaped her lungs as she groaned feeling his hard shoulder digging into her belly. It took her a second to compose herself as her small fists rained punches on his back but it did not affect him. "P...put m...me down," She tried to sound angry and cold but her voice came out scared.He would kill her now.She struggled only for his arm to tighten around the back of her thighs. She jerked her hair to one side as she tried to figure out where he was taking her. To the dungeons probably so he could cut her up into tiny little pieces and then feed her off to wild animals.Tears brimmed her eyes but she refused to cry. She will not back down without a fight."STOP!" She screeched and did something unexpected. She started pinching his back and tried to bite him but his back was so firm that she couldn't get a bite no matter how much she tried, but the last attempt was successful as she got a grip on his skin and she bit him with everything that she got. He barely twitched
Ruthless Mate 7
Charlotte was persistent in aiding her to get ready for the night but Aurora's heart kept dropping down deeper and deeper.Aurora told her that she took care of her hygiene and that she was all neat and clean. There was no need of getting her ready for that crazy ritual.Charlotte on the other hand seemed excited about it at first but seeing the worry etched over Aurora's face told her otherwise. She left the girl alone.Aurora was pacing her room. Her heart was beating fast and she was panicking nonstop.She can't sleep with him. She would never sleep with him, mate or not. The man has done nothing that loving mates do. The only thing he did was threaten her and that was all.Even the thought of sleeping with him had her whole body trembling in fear.How would she face him tonight?She should probably lock her door. She gazed at her door and couldn't help but think about his huge muscular stature. He was a man and he could easily break down that door.What can she do?Escape?The tho

"NOOO!" She screamed, punching his back but to no avail. She barely registered where he was taking her before she found herself in an unfamiliar room and then all the breath was knocked out of her system when he tossed her on the bed as if she was a mere thing.She gathered her bearings and sat up abruptly, brushing her hair away from her face as she found him near the door, and the sound of him bolting the door echoed in the grim silence.She was panting, her eyes wide as she kept her gaze fixed on the predator. He slowly turned around and she gulped scurrying out of the bed. In her haste, she was about to fall face first on the floor but she balanced herself.Her throat was all dry and there was a stone-like obstruction in her throat. As soon as he took a step forward, she took two steps back though she was on the other side of the bed, far from him but still, the distance between them did nothing to ease her worry."I d...don't want this," She said shakily and he clenched his jaw.

“N…no… please… don’t hurt me,” she whispered shakily as big fat tears poured out of her eyes and her chin quivered in fear.“I don’t have a choice,” his voice was gruff and it sliced right through her heart.He was her mate. How could he hurt her like that without any remorse?“How c…can you hurt your m…mate?” She whispered in a broken shaky voice and he gnashed his molars looking away. “You’ll be fine,” he grumbled as he grabbed her knees and forced her legs open.She let out a cry and immediately pulled the dress down between her legs, covering her intimacy. He inhaled sharply. His eyes fixated on her thighs.“P…please… don’t do this,” she begged him with big teary eyes and he refused to meet her gaze.She took in a sharp breath when his veiny hand grabbed her thigh. Her eyes widened when she felt the wild sparks raking through her body and the warm tingling feeling where he was touching her.He brought his knife closer and she visibly tensed. His hold on her thigh tightened and hi
Ruthless Mate 10
Draken was in the Moon pack that night for one sole reason. To find his enemy. Draken had joined hands with Alonso. The news had spread across the lands like fire. Draken let Alonso brag that he conquered all of the north but it was Draken who was the boss of the North. Not only for werewolves but also for humans.Draken ruled the North like a king because he was not just the Alpha of his pack, he also had a very vital title in the human world that no one knows.The only reason he had joined hands with Alonso was that Alonso was a f*cking sadist who was hungry for power.Draken was never fond of war but if he had to find his enemy. He had to be lethal and being with Alonso made it a lot easier. He could raid the packs without explaining to them why he was doing that because all the other packs now see him as a ruthless monster who wants to conquer other lands but in the chaos of this plot there was a hidden agenda of his to find the f*cker who ruined his life.

"Alpha, we found this woman at one of our bases, she said you knew her." One of the guys said as Alonso shifted on the couch. "I bitch would come barging at a base saying she knows me and you f*ckers would bring her to my hideout?" He snarled at them as they flinched back. "A...Alpha, s...she said she's Draken's mom," the guy said and Alonso lifted his head to look at the man. "What?" He barked and the man nodded his head. "Yes, Alpha. She told me her name is Adele," the guy informed him and Alonso scowled. "Bring her in," He ordered as he walked out and a few minutes later he walked in holding a woman's arm who was staring at him. "What do you want, woman?" He asked sharply. Why was she here? The last thing he heard was that she was in the safety of the castle. Did the King throw her out? "I'm here to offer you a deal," She said, yanking her arm out of that man's grasp. Alonso looked at her calmly. He could expect nothing good from a woman. He hated women to a great extent. T

"Luna? Can I take this call? It's urgent," Solomon said and Aurora bobbed her head which he saw through the rearview mirror.Aurora wanted to buy a new dress for the dinner tonight, so she decided to go to the nearby boutique in the pack. Three months have passed since Nathan's birth so Nova has invited everyone over for dinner.Solomon stepped out of the car while saying, "sorry, baby."Aurora stifled a smile. It must be a call from his girlfriend or his mate. That was why he seemed so nervous. She called Draken and he answered on the third call. "Nathan's not giving you a tough time is he?" She asked."Baby, he pooped. I cleaned him up then we both had a bath and now I'm dressing him up," He said and she could tell by his voice that he was holding the phone between his ear and shoulder."Champ, stop squirming," He said to Nathan and she could imagine him changing the diaper of the baby which made her chuckle.She especially loved this a lot. She knew Draken loved kids but she never

"Angela," Draken said curtly and she scrutinized him."What?" She asked and he narrowed his eyes at her, mimicking her expressions."Give me back my son," He retorted, her brows shot up and she let out a dramatic gasp."He was with you for two days now, I just got here and you won't let me hold him huh? Not happening. I'm not giving my precious munchkin to you," Angela exaggerated and Draken glared at her."His name is not a munchkin. It's Nathan," Draken muttered.Aurora couldn't help but smile. They were bickering like siblings. Nova, who was sitting beside Aurora stood up and walked to Angela. Grabbing her shoulder she gently cupped her cheek and Draken's eyes softened instantly.He knew what Nova was thinking because Draken had gotten the same vibes from Angela. "If my daughter had lived, she must be the same age as you," Nova said and Angela looked at her with wide eyes as Draken passed her a smile."You can consider me your daughter, Aunt. I already have two elder brothers, if D

"Draken?" Aurora called loudly as Draken rushed into the room with a towel hanging on his neck and the other wrapped around his torso. "Yes, Princess?" He asked softly. His hair was wet and there were droplets of water on his body. "Come here," she ushered him closer as he grabbed the chair and pulled it closer to the bed before sitting on it. "Your hand?" She murmured as he placed his big hand in her small one and she gently placed it on her huge belly where she felt the movement and then the baby kicked. Draken's eyes went wide as he abruptly placed his other hand on her belly as well and the baby kicked again. He let out a happy chuckle before he placed his ear on her belly to hear. "What are you doing?" She asked with a small giggle. Draken has been treating her like a Princess. He was so protective of her. In the last few months, he won't even let her get out of bed. He has also been spoiling her with delicious food and she couldn't be happier. Hunter and Rasmus have sent

He didn't even let her register as he smashed his lips on hers in a much-needed kiss.Draken kissed her hungrily as he suckled on her lips. She placed her palms on his chest but he grabbed her wrists and held them on the door above her head with one of his hands. With his free hand, he grabbed her throat and tilted her head up for better excess.He slid his tongue into her mouth and sucked on her tongue before devouring her mouth.She kissed him back and he grunted in approval. He picked her up in his arms before walking to the small study table as he placed her on it.Her legs were wrapped around his torso as he kissed her hungrily. His hand moved down as he squeezed her hips, jerking her to him so she could feel how hard he was for her.She gasped as he grabbed her hand and made her rub his hardness over the pants. "Feel what you did to me, baby." He grunted licking the shell of her ears as she breathed heavily, her eyes wide as saucers as she watched him rubbing her hand over it.
Ruthless Mate 98
A few days passed and they were still in the Moon pack. Eren and Charlotte have handled things back at the North pack.Xander has been anxious regarding Aurora's safety because Alonso was still roaming out there freely. But Hunter assured him that Draken would not let any harm come to Aurora."You ready?" Draken asked and Aurora bobbed her head. She was nervous as they walked down the stairs towards the lounge where everyone from the family was present.They stood in front of everyone hand in hand as they all looked at them expectantly. "We have something to announce," Draken said and Emma beamed at them because she already knew what was coming."I'm pregnant," Aurora said in a soft voice. Catherine and Angela both spring up from the sofa with a loud gasp and the next thing Aurora was engulfed in a tight hug by Cath and Nova hugged Draken. She had tears of joy swarming in her eyes.Hunter, who stood leaning near the window, smiled at his sister when he noticed Luca who was standing a

Aurora made special tea as she poured it into two cups and walked to the guest room where Nova was staying. She opened the door and walked inside with the tray, she placed it in front of them. Draken smiled at her and Nova held her hand and made her sit with them. After a few minutes, she stood up to leave but Draken held her wrist. "You both should spend some time together. There must be so much to talk about," Aurora whispered in a soft voice as she walked out not before giving Draken a reassuring smile. "Who did this to you, mom?" Draken asked, looking at the scar on her neck and she shook her head. Her face had that look of agony and she forced her eyes shut. "It doesn't matter. That was in the past. Let's not talk about it," She said, holding his big calloused hands as she scrutinized them. "How did you come here?" He asked. "I escaped when my last owner died. He was old but a kind man who only bought me as his maid. For a year I was just living on the streets," She whispere

"Promise me," Aurora whispered, wiping her tears. "Promise me you won't ever leave me again," She said with a trembling chin and he bobbed his head like a submissive child."I promise," He rasped as she hugged him tightly and he hugged her again. Closing his eyes he could feel the aching in his heart dissipating slowly. He rubbed her back as she calmed down a little. He opened his eyes. The feeling of someone looking at him has his eyes snapping in that direction and he froze.Aurora breaks the hug as she stood on her toes and kissed his cheek and the next thing she sprinted towards Hunter who shook his head at her knowing what was coming.At the end moment, he opened his arms and Aurora jumped on him. Hugging him tightly and he hugged her back."Thank you, Hunter." She murmured on his chest and his heart warmed up as he patted her head gently. She pulled back while beaming up at him and he cracked a smile before ruffling her hair and she whined pulling back. She wiped her face of al

She was crying as her tears wet his shirt but he didn't move away or disappeared. He hugged her tightly to his chest. She could hear the wild thumping of his heart. It was the same as her but she was afraid. So very afraid that he would disappear and it was just a dream."Baby," He rasped and tried to pull back but she didn't let him. She held him tightly and he again engulfed her in his embrace. His face dipped in the crook of her neck as he took a whiff of her scent to his heart's content but no matter how much he inhaled her intoxicating scent. He could never get enough of her.His warm lips dropped a kiss on her neck and then another a little lower. She was on her toes. Her nails dug into the skin of his nape but he didn't complain. He let her hold him."P...please," She pleaded, her voice a shaky whimper. Her whole body was trembling with raw emotions."Tell me it's n...not a dream," She whispered sniffing, he tried to break the hug to look at her but she clutched to him for dear
