2025-01-24 20:53:19“Are you alright? Did he hurt you? I’m so sorry you got dragged into this mess.”
A soft voice whispers behind me and I turn around to blink. Beta John. Is he talking to me? “ Yes. I am talking to you.” He had a smile on his face and my cheeks flare. Damn. I said that out loud. Didn't I? His voice is filled with genuine concern, his eyes locked on my neck. “ I am so sorry I-” “ Don’t be. It wasn't your fault.” He offers me his handkerchief and I take it with reluctant fingers. His gaze is soft—so much softer than the cold, stormy grey of….his “ There is a cut. Should I take you to the doctor?” My eyes widen. "Th-thank you. But I’ll manage." My voice shakes, betraying the calm I’m trying to project. I’m not used to anyone caring, but I can’t let it show. My eyes avoid his and I grip the shawl tightly around half of my face. “Are you sure?” he asks, stepping closer, his concern unwavering. "Yes. Thank you, Sir," I say, trying to keep my tone steady. I don’t know what to make of his kindness. It’s too much... too unfamiliar. Does he want something from me? Why is he being so nice? “ Beta John. You can call me Beta John. And you are?” He offers me his palm to shake and I rub my dirty hands on my jeans before shaking his warm ones. He smiles. And my heart thuds. “ Eve.” I stutter out. Before I can say more, he pulls out a pouch from his pocket, holding it out toward me. “This is for you—a token of apology for what happened back there.“ My eyes widened, staring at the pouch. “ No Sir I can’r repay-” Beta John shook his head. “You don’t owe me anything, Eve.” He spoke my name as though we knew each other since years. “Take it. Use it for yourself, for your family.” Hesitant, I accepted the pouch with trembling hands. The weight of it made my knees wobble. “Thank you,” I whispered, overwhelmed. “You didn’t have to—” “I insist,” he interrupted gently. Then, as though reading my thoughts, he added, “Not everyone in this world is as cruel as the people you’ve met today. You shouldn’t have to bear the weight of it alone.” Something warm sparked in my chest, and for the first time that day, I felt like crying for a reason other than despair. He was a great warrior. I am sure. But he was even a better man at heart. “Take care of yourself, Eve.” And just like that, he was gone, leaving me standing there, clutching the heavy pouche filled with more coins than I’d ever dreamed of having. The weight of the coins sinks into me. Wait... What just happened? Did I just get lucky? I look down, eyes wide. There are so many coins. Enough to buy food for the whole group for days, maybe even weeks. This isn’t just a handout. This is... a windfall. A reward. For a moment, it doesn’t feel so bad. I didn’t just walk out of a death trap. I earned something. A smile spreads across my lips. The thought of sharing this with everyone, seeing their faces light up with joy, makes my chest feel warm. But then those eyes flash in my mind. Those cold, merciless gaze. Scary. No, more than scary. Deadly. His eyes—the way they look right through me—like he could take my soul and I will only thank him for it. They burn into my mind. I shudder and push the thought away. It doesn’t matter. His Beta gave it to me himself. These coins are mine now? Right? And now I will use them to spread more smiles and happiness. Just perfect! …. I practically ran all the way back to the shelter, the excitement bubbling up inside me like a child with a secret. Bursting through the door, I found everyone where I’d left them—curled up in thin blankets, huddled close for warmth. The sight always made my chest ache, but today was different. Today, I could make it better. “Everyone, look!” I called out, and the room stirred with murmurs. I emptied one pouch onto the floor, letting the coins spill out like a river of gold. Gasps erupted around me. “Food,” I announced, grinning ear to ear. “Warm clothes. Enough for all of us.” The children cheered first, their small voices filled with joy, and soon the adults joined in, their tired eyes glimmering with hope. Within an hour, I’d returned with bags of bread, meat, and warm clothes. We sat together, eating and laughing like we hadn’t in years. A little girl named Tessa hugged my leg, her face smeared with crumbs. “You’re an angel, Eve,” she said, beaming up at me. For a moment, I let myself believe it. But then I realised it wasn’t me. It was him. Beta John. He was the reason behind everyone’s smile. He is right. Not everyone is bad in this world. Some good souls are still left in this world, and moon goddess will always protect them.Related chapters

The street buzzed with life and I hummed a tone, feeling lighter after seeing the smiles and laughter of everyone back at the shelter. Through I knew my happiness was borrowed at best but we should enjoy the little we get, right? “Scar,” Lilly’s voice cut through my thoughts.“You can fool them,” she said, her voice low, almost conspiratorial. “Not me. Where did you get all those coins, Scar?”Busted.We had been together since we were 7 at the orphanage. Of course she would know. “I didn’t do anything wrong, Lilly. I swear,” I said quickly, holding my hands up in defense.“Did you steal again, Scar?” Her voice was steady, but her suspicion was a blade, her eyes narrowed at me.I sighed, stepping closer to her and sliding an arm around her neck, gently tugging her toward the side of the street, away from prying eyes. “Stop overthinking,” I said with a small grin. “How about I treat you to drinks and some yummy food? My treat.”Her expression softened slightly, though her skeptici

I woke to the sting of cold, hard tiles against my cheek. Something… no everything was wrong.My ribs burned, the dull throb spreading through my side like a slow, creeping poison. My head pounded, heavy and disoriented, but the taste of blood was sharp and metallic on my tongue—impossible to ignore.For a moment, I stayed still, hoping the pain would fade if I didn’t move. But it didn’t. The sharp ache in my ribs worsened when I shifted, and fear followed close behind. Cracked ribs. Maybe worse. The thought coiled in my stomach like a viper.But I ignored it.My fingers brushed my forehead, flinching at the dried blood crusted over my skin. And the realisation hits bad.No one had come to help me. Not a single soul. They’d left me here, broken and bleeding on the diner floor, like trash waiting to be swept away.Talk about humanity.Its really dead.No one wants to deal with the murder of an ugly begged in a diner. Gritting my teeth, I planted my palms on the ground, forcing my b

"You’re bleeding. Eve, sit down. Come—"Beta John’s voice was calm, but I didn’t have the patience to hear it. My hands shot up, grabbing his arm, gripping him like he was my last lifeline."Sir, please," I rasped, my voice trembling. "They took her. I don’t know what to do—"“Eve," he interrupted, his brow creased with concern. "You’re not fine. You’re injured. First, let us—"“No!" The word erupted from me, sharp and raw. I didn’t care if my voice cracked or if my ribs screamed in protest. Desperation surged in my veins like fire. "Why don’t you understand? I am fine! But she’s not! God knows what those men are doing to her! I need you to find them—I need you to do something! Talk to your highness for me, sir! Please!”My outburst left him momentarily stunned. His hand dragged through his hair, his expression shifting to one of reluctant defeat.“Fine," he muttered. "Tell me her residence number, and I’ll send my men to search thoroughly.”My heart plummeted. Panic clawed at my ches

“ Thousands of woman were trying to charm him with their skin and curves, yet he fell for the one most covered.Thousand of eyes staring at him, begging for attention, yet all he could look at was the one with her eyes lowered.”…. Lub. Dub. The pounding in my chest grew deafening, a visceral rhythm of fear and something darker—something I didn’t want to name. Those silver-grey eyes were liquid steel, cold and unyielding, pinning me to the spot with a predatory intensity that drained the air from the room. It felt like the world had stopped spinning. My mind screamed at me to look away, to run, but my body refused. His presence was suffocating, a tangible force that coiled around me like chains. The shawl I always carried hung loosely, hiding most of my head, face, leaving only my wide, terrified eyes visible. And then he spoke, his voice cutting through the silence like a blade. "Who the hell are you?" His tone was frigid, devoid of any humanity. "And how did you get in

I have felt helpless before. The feeling was not new to me.When the kids in the orphanage kicked and bullied me. When my favorite teddy bear was ripped to shreds by one of the boys there. When I slept on the street, curled into a ball as rain drenched me. When I ate expired food from the dumpster and suffered stomach cramps so bad I vomited for an entire week, only to end up in a community hospital.Life has never been easy.I was used to harsh.But right now? Slammed onto a bed, restrained by his unyielding grip, my body exposed and trembling, I felt utterly weak and breakable.And then it hit me.The first sharp slap landed on my bottom. My entire body recoiled, the sound ringing out like a cruel echo of dominance. A desperate cry tore from my lips, and I thrashed uselessly against his iron hold.My bottom jiggled from the force. My legs trembled under the weight of his authority.Before I could even register the searing sting, another sharp pain followed, this time on the other ch

“Will he kill me?”I questioned John as we walked toward the office. His exasperated gaze shifted to me, his lips pressing into a tight line.“Kill is unpredictable. Can’t say. Just stay quiet inside, and I’ll try to handle this.”I nodded, swallowing my thanks as my palms turned clammy. My jittery legs betrayed the resolve I desperately tried to cling to. What had I been thinking, entering the Alpha King’s chambers at 1:30 in the night?Yes, I was desperate to save Lil, but my actions? Reckless. Stupid.We stopped in front of the door, and John turned, his eyes heavy with warning.“Keep your eyes lowered. His Highness hates eye contact. And don’t—under any circumstances—touch him. He despises a woman’s touch more than anything.”A cold shiver slithered down my spine as I begrudgingly nodded. The logic behind those commands escaped me, but his words echoed in my head.Despises a woman’s touch?I hugged myself, memories of earlier crashing into me. The warmth of his palm trailing over

“The last digit,” he explained, his tone amused. “I design the sequence myself. For men, the number always ends in even digits; for women, odd. And this?” He held the paper closer. “This ends in two.”He tilted his head, his silver eyes gleaming with amusement.“You can fool my Beta, but not me, little mouse. You’re a liar. And a very interesting one at that.”My eyes widened.Damn it. This is spiraling out of control. At this rate, I might not even leave here alive. Is this why he sent John away?My tongue felt useless, frozen in my mouth, as my body stiffened. The sound of his steps echoed ominously.Thud.Thud.Thud.I saw his shoes before I felt his presence—towering, overwhelming, and far too close.“I had… no choice,” I muttered, my gaze dropping to the floor.“Everyone has a choice, rogue.”“I didn’t. I had to survive.”“And you’re doing a pathetic job of it.”Tears stung my eyes. How dare he? How dare he look at me like that, with such cold disdain?He didn’t know what I’d bee

“ There are ones who enjoy making others suffer, sadist as we call them.And then there are those.The ones who just watch you burn, doing nothing to help. And once you have given up?They come to collect the ashes. The demon.That's what they call him.” ….The air was suffocating, thick with invisible chains that seemed to pull me back with every step. My lungs screamed in protest as I sprinted through the grand, endless halls of the castle. My footing faltered, my heart lurching as I glanced down.Damn it!The sole of my shoe had split, flapping uselessly against the cold marble. I kicked them off, abandoning them in my desperation, and continued to run. My bare feet slapped against the unforgiving floor, every step echoing in the vast emptiness around me.Helpless, I skidded to a halt at a dead end, my breath ragged as I slammed my fists against the wall.What the hell is this place? A goddamn maze?My frantic eyes darted around, searching for

The tang of blood filled my mouth almost immediately, metallic and bitter. I expected him to yank his hand back, to curse or react in pain. But he didn’t. Instead, his thumb pressed deeper, the motion deliberate, almost punishing.Fuck!I gagged, my throat convulsing as his blood coated my tongue, metallic and vile. Tears burned at the corners of my eyes, but the sight of him didn’t waver. If anything, his lips curled, and his eyes gleamed with predatory amusement—a wolf savoring his prey’s final thrashes.“That’s more like it,” he rasped, his voice low and serrated, each word slicing into me like a blade. His thumb pressed further into my mouth, forcing me to taste more of him, drowning me in the coppery tang of humiliation.I couldn’t breathe.My lungs clenched in protest, screaming for air as I twisted and writhed beneath him. A feral panic ignited inside me, but before I could pull away, his legs coiled around me, his thighs like steel cables pinning my arms.It wasn’t a hold.

Eve’s POV I stirred awake slowly, my senses groggy and sluggish, as if I had been submerged in a murky haze. The first thing I noticed was the warmth beneath my cheek—solid, firm—and then the dampness at the corner of my lips. My mind froze as realization dawned. A cro- A man’s that was right in front of me. My breath hitched, my eyes widened, and panic unfurled in my chest like a viper poised to strike. The memories hit me like a truck. My torn dress, the approaching guests, the frantic search for a hideout—only to drop under his table, entrapping myself in the little space right between his legs. I had waited for so long. My body was sore, my stomach protesting in hunger. Their business talks had gone on forever. And before I knew it, I had drifted into a deep sleep. It’s a strange power I possess. There were times when I had to sleep on footpaths on chilly nights, with just my shawl covering me. Since then, I’ve been able to sleep anywhere. Yet, not in my wildest dreams

Kane was still talking, something about tracking rogue movements, about needing scouts along the riverbanks, but his voice was just a hum in the background. My focus was shot, my attention stolen by the woman who had the audacity to fall asleep against me, the werewolf King. The strongest and most powerful man in this world. People quiver in my presence, piss their pants at my one command and she is sleeping without a care of this world? How? Did I act soft with her? Am I missing something? Why isn’t she scared of me? I let my fingers trail lower, brushing the nape of her neck. She shivered. A tiny gasp left her lips, but she didn’t wake. Her body curled in tighter, pressing closer, and fuck if that didn’t send a sharp pulse of need straight to my core. The urge to grip her, to fist her hair and make her fully aware of what she was doing to me, was unbearable. My free hand clenched into a fist. Control. I was always in control. But this little mouse was testing it. Testi

Killian’s POVThe scent of ink and aged leather filled the room as I leaned back, fingers grazing the cool surface of the polished desk. Across from me, Alpha Kane sat with his Beta and Third-in-Command, their sharp gazes locked onto mine."Your Highness," Kane began, his voice deep and measured. "The border patrols have reported increased rogue activity near our eastern perimeter. A few skirmishes already, but nothing major—yet. If we don’t act now, it could turn into a full-blown invasion."I drummed my fingers against the desk, processing his words. "How many casualties?"Kane exhaled sharply. "Four dead. Two missing. My men are holding their ground, but it’s clear these bastards are testing us. If they push harder, we’ll need reinforcements."Rogues. Filthy, unclaimed mutts with no allegiance, no pack, no order. Their only instinct was survival, and in their desperation, they threatened the balance I had spent years establishing.I had always eliminated them at first sight, ho

Killian’s POVBeing the Alpha King comes with its own burdens. My authority extends beyond trivial disputes like thefts and border skirmishes—I oversee the monetary budgets of all 236 werewolf packs scattered across the world. I dictate alliances, settle wars before they even begin, and pass judgment with a single command.I don’t have time for distractions.My days are regimented, each minute accounted for. There’s no room for delays. No space for indulgences.Yet here I am. Sitting back, watching a woman kneel before me.She’s… interesting.Not in the usual way women are—cloying, desperate to claw their way into my bed for status or power. No, she’s different.I like when people cower before me, when fear drips from their trembling forms, feeding the beast within. But her?Don’t mistake her bowed head for submission.Her eyes, though lowered, hold fire. If not for her friend, Lilly, she would be glaring at me outright.My gaze drops to her hands, balled into fists so tight her nails

I could clearly see what he meant by customization because the terms written in front of me weren’t anything you’d expect to find on a paper meant to bind two souls for lifetimes.Instead, they read more like a set of commands—a list of demands etched in ink, cold and final.…Contract of UnionThis document serves as the binding agreement between Party A (the bride) and Party B (the Alpha King). Both parties acknowledge that this union is not founded on affection, love, or partnership but on duty, necessity, and control.Terms of Agreement1. Party A’s Obligations1.1 Absolute Obedience:Party A will comply with every command issued by Party B without hesitation, refusal, or question. Resistance will result in immediate disciplinary action, the severity of which is determined solely by Party B.1.2 Restricted Freedom:Party A may not leave the castle grounds or interact with anyone not pre-approved by Party B. Any attempt to defy this will result in severe consequences.1.3 Access Bo

Tick. Tick. The sound of the clock reverberated in the suffocating silence, each second a hammer against my chest. My eyes flitted to Killian. He sat, motionless yet terrifying, his broad shoulders tense, his jaw clenched so tightly I thought it might crack. The pen in his hand groaned in protest, his fingers a vice around it. His patience was unraveling. “Get down,” he said, his voice low, guttural—almost a growl. It wasn’t a request. It was an order. I hesitated, my gaze darting to Bane. The massive beast stood there, muscles taut, his black eyes gleaming like liquid night. “But he—” “I said get your ass down, little mouse. Now.” The words cut through me, sharp and final. My stomach twisted, and I swallowed hard. Okay. I can do this. One step at a time. I slid off the desk hesitantly, my bare feet brushing against the cold floor. Bane’s growl deepened, a rumble that vibrated through the room. His eyes never left me, the predator locked on its prey. I flinched as my dress

“This way, ma’am,” one of the maids said, leading me down the hall.My footsteps echoed against the marble floor, each step heavier than the last.These were the very halls I ran through last night.The very walls that heard me beg for help.But none came.Everyone was loyal to him here. Even the air that I breathe.When we arrived at the Alpha King’s office, the massive double doors swung open with an ominous creak, the sound slicing through the suffocating silence of the hallway.He was there, seated behind a massive mahogany desk, his dark head bent over a stack of papers. The glow of the firelight bathed the room in amber hues, but the warmth it offered didn’t reach me. It couldn’t. The air itself felt bitterly cold—an icy chill that seemed to emanate from him, wrapping itself around my chest like a vice.The maids voice broke the silence. “Your Highness. She is here.”He didn’t even glance up.I lingered in the doorway, the weight of his presence pressing down on me like a physic

Time had become irrelevant. Minutes, hours—they all blurred into one endless stretch of waiting. Sitting there, I couldn’t tell how long had passed. I was trapped in the prison of my own thoughts, each one clawing at my sanity.Twenty-four hours.Could he really find her in twenty-four hours?Doubt was a heavy stone in my chest, pressing against my lungs. What if he didn’t? What if he went back on his word?But no. He was the Werewolf King. His word wasn’t just law—it was ironclad. If there was one thing I knew about him, it was that he didn’t make empty promises. Whether his word brought salvation or destruction, it was always delivered.The sound of footsteps startled me out of my spiraling thoughts. My head snapped up as the door creaked open, and a group of five women entered. They were dressed in crisp maid uniforms, their hair neatly pinned back. Everything about them was polished and orderly, a sharp contrast to the chaos I felt inside.“Good evening, ma’am,” one of them said
