(Elio)
“I still can't believe that you bought an omega when we could still try for a pup, Elio.” My girlfriend said, making me sigh. She had been annoying me about the omega I bought ever since she heard about it. I know that she was jealous, but she should understand. “I need an heir, Jessica, I can't just fuck you all the time without seeing any result. As soon as I get my pup, I'll probably kill the omega, so you shouldn't have to worry too much.” She glared at me, not liking the way I spoke to her. But, that's her problem, not mine. “If you kill her, I'm supposed to raise a whore's pup? I can't do that.” I started to get dressed as we had just finished fucking, and I wasn't in any mood to be around her. “That’s something you'd have to live with, darling. I'm leaving, so I'll see you later.” I left without waiting for her reply. I couldn't deal with her bullshit right now. Sure, we had been together for two years, but that didn't mean that she should be able to tell me what to do. I wasn't sure where I was heading to right now, I just needed to get away from her. 'Let's go and check on that omega.' My wolf, Storm said, and I agreed with him. I wanted someone to take my anger out on, and I had just the right person, too. After making it to the dungeon, I saw the omega sleeping and laughed. If she thought that she was going to have a good time here, she thought wrong. I marched over to her after opening the cell and grabbed her hair, pulling her up, which was difficult because she was still sleeping. She screamed, and her eyes opened wide as she began to look around frantically. “Let me go!” I laughed at her feeble attempt to get away from me, it wasn't working, so she should stop. “You know, I'm not just known as the Alpha, I'm also known as the cursed King. Want to know why?” I asked, my voice getting deeper as I allowed Storm to take over. I knew that this wasn't going to be a pretty sight after he was done with her, I just hope for the goddess sake that she's still alive because I wanted a pup from her and I should get my money's worth. “They call me the cursed Alpha because of the things I did in the past. You see, I almost killed my father because he was refusing to give me the title. Saying some bullshit about me not being fit enough to take on such a role, I have my parents locked up in a shed somewhere in the forest.” I scoffed because here I am now, and I'm doing a pretty good job so far, am I not? “I enjoyed killing rogues so much that I made it a routine. Given the fact that it was my wolf who did most of the killing, I still enjoyed it, so I didn't stop him. One day, I killed a witch. Burnt her alive. The memory of what I did was still on my mind. It was the reason for my nightmares and my lack of trust. Now, I'm about to do something much more cruel. Please forgive me.” At the end of my speech, Storm took over, and I locked myself away in the back of my mind. I did not want to be a witness to what was going on, that didn't mean that I was weak, though. When Storm was finished, I took control once more and saw her lying on the floor naked with blood running down her legs as her cries had gotten louder and louder. I made a move to reach for her, not sure if I should comfort her or not. 'What are you doing?' Storm asked, getting angry at me for showing signs of affection towards the omega. I snapped out of it and left as quickly as I could. Not bothering to look back or help clean her. I admit that I wasn't sane, I've done countless things in the past, and I'm still doing it. My pack members hated me, and I loved every minute of it. 'We need to get more members to join. Having just three hundreds isn't a lot, even though we are the largest here in Canada.' Storm boasted, I had to refuse because I didn't like people. They were annoying, even the ones in my pack. I try to hide from them as much as I can, one of the reasons why I became so cruel. 'You enjoy being cruel.' I chuckled, knowing that that's true. Before I could reply, my beta Alex walked up to me with a handful of documents. He handed them over to me and took a deep breath. “Damn, I'm so unfit. Please go through these documents as soon as you can. The neighboring packs are on my ass every day, demanding that we sell them a piece of our land. They draft up these documents as to why we should, and to be honest, I didn't even look at them.” He laughed while running his hand in his gelled hair. “And why should I? Get rid of them, would you? I'll take care of those packs myself.” I replied. Alex gave me a look of disbelief. He's not just my Beta, but my best friend as well. He often disapproves of the way I run things around here, but I don't care. “You're not going to harm them, Elio.” I grinned at Alex and handed him the documents. “Nope, never.” Welp, that was a lie, but he didn't need to know that. “And for the record, I'm not one of those stupid Alphas that sits in his office all day and does paperwork, that no one knows nothing of. I'm going to take a shower, see you soon.” I patted him on his shoulder before walking away. At least the day turned out to be ok so far.(Elio)"It seems as if you enjoy spending time with that whore of an omega instead of me. I am the Gamma's daughter, yet you find interest in a low life omega." Jessica said, making me growl from annoyance. I decided to take her for a walk and I'm slowly regretting doing so."Do you want me to take you home, is that it?" I asked as I stopped walking. She grabbed my arm and shook her head."No, sorry. I'm just too jealous. Like, who would seriously be alright when their significant other is spending time with someone else?" I guess she had a point, but I was too petty to give a damn. Why should I care about her feelings? As far as I can say, she's just a good lay or was a good lay because she wasn't satisfying me anymore. Why? Seems as if I have my eyes on someone else."There you go again, spacing out when I'm talking to you! You know what, I changed my mind. I want to go home." I shrugged my shoulders, since I didn't care what she wanted to do or not. We walked back in silence and sh
(Elio)"You're seriously planning on giving that bitch a room?" Jessica asked, anger lacing her tone. I sighed and got up, while starting to get dressed. After she stormed off from our walk and I went to visit Acacia, only to hear that she's pregnant, I got excited. Thinking that I could confide in my girlfriend, but she didn't want to hear and started to seduce me . I loved every minute of it and fell for it like the idiot I am. "Why is it that lately, everytime I'm around you we are always arguing?" I snapped, wishing that she could disappear from my sight right now. "If you haven't gotten that omega then we wouldn't be arguing! You know that I want to be the one carrying your pup Elio!" I felt my temper rising, not thinking clearly as I started to shout. "You can't get pregnant because you are fucking barren! How the hell would I get an heir if you can't even produce one!?" Jessica flinched, making it seem as if I had hit her. Her lips started to wobble and fake tears started to
(Acacia)I woke up from my sleep, which seems to be the only thing I have been doing lately. Nashton slammed the cell gate open which resulted in a loud bang which frightened me but I tried my best to not show it."Seems as if you're lucky, Alpha Elio wants you out of here." My eyes became wide at the thought of leaving my prison."Don't celebrate too early, I'm still being placed on guard duty and so is Chase. We will make sure you won't escape if that's what you're thinking." It did cross my mind yes, but he wasn't going to know that. I was just happy that I would leave here. I glanced at my buckets and shivered from disgust as I thought about what I did in them. It's not like I had any other choice, but it's still disgusting. "You are in desperate need of a good shower, you smell like shit and piss." Nashton growled, I wanted to lower my head from shame, but I didn't. "If you hadn't kidnapped me, you wouldn't have to deal with the smell. It's a punishment for you, pretty boy." He
(Elio)"What the fuck is your problem?" I asked Austin, the moment we left Acacia's room. He shrugged his shoulders and started to whistle, ignoring my question. I grabbed his shoulders and tried to turn him around, but he grabbed my arm instead and twisted it behind my back, making me wince a little. Damn, I forgot that he was a cold hearted bitch. Maybe I should thread carefully around him. "You know I don't like it when people grab me like that." Austin said, I growled and tackled him to the ground, having enough of his attitude. I may find him intimidating and I may be a bit scared of him, but I wasn't going to allow treat me like this. "Know your place delta." I replied, but he only scoffed. "Know my place? You fucked up so much already. If you need to keep your head attached to your body, I suggest you get off me before I release my wolf." I hurriedly got off him and let out a nervous chuckle. His wolf was what I wanted to avoid more, there's no way I would cross that line."
(Acacia)They say when someone changes, it makes them a better person. But what if that someone decided to change for all the wrong reasons? What do you think would happen then? I came to the conclusion that no one would make such a drastic change. But if I hadn't been here, I wouldn't have been able to witness it for myself. Today was supposed to be a good day, somehow Austin and Dr. Andrew had managed to talk some sense into Elio saying that I needed some fresh air for my pup's sake. I couldn't stay locked up for four months which would be the time frame for she-wolves to have their pups. It was different from humans who would go up to nine months. I still couldn't believe that I was going to be a mother in such a short time. It all came so fast for me, Austin and I were walking outside and trying to get to know each other better. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I found myself wishing that he was my mate instead. He's such a gentleman and he treated me well, there wasn't any
(Elio)“You're such a fucking idiot.” Alex said, while shaking his head. He didn't have to tell me twice. “Three broken ribs, your feet are broken, nose, your right hand? You should be thankful that you're a werewolf and would fully heal no later than tomorrow. Why did you have to challenge Austin? There's not even a scratch on him!” Ok, Alex was getting on my nerves as he shouted at me for no reason. I took on the challenge because I was angry, I couldn't force myself to look away from Austin and Acacia as they embraced each other. No, I wasn't jealous. That's something that has never happened to me before, so it's not going to happen now. I don't get fucking jealous. “My baby!” Jessica shouted as she burst into the room, making me cringe at her high-pitched tone. Shoot, I forgot to break up with her, I wonder how she will take it. “Austin did a number on you, didn't he?” She cooed as she looked at me from head to toe. I sighed and shook my head, it's too late to deal with shit
(Acacia)It was the afternoon of the next day now and the door opened and Elio walked in looking annoyed. I rolled my eyes, feeling irritated that I had to deal with him right now. Dr. Andrew asked me to rest after Leah left, so knowing that I won't be able to right now was getting on my nerves.“What is it now?” I asked. He folded his arms and shook his head. “I came to check on my pup, to see how my heir is doing. I did not come here to check on you, if that's what you're implying.” He stated as if it were obvious. “My pup is doing fine, you can leave now.” I made a move to turn my back to him, hoping that he would go away, but he grabbed me by my arm, stopping me. His hold on my arm was tight, cutting off the circulation from it. I tried to get him to let go, but he held on tighter. “Don't you dare turn your back on me.” I hissed as he tightened his hold, if that was even possible. “I can do what I want, if you have any decency in you, you would let go of me this instant.” He p
(Elio)“Here to apologize and grovel at my feet?” I asked Austin, who glared at me. I was walking when he suddenly made an appearance, it made me nervous, but I had to tame it since I wasn't a coward.“As if, what happened was entirely your fault. Did you get jealous?” He started to laugh, which irritated the fuck out of me. “Negative, I don't get jealous.” I wasn't sure who I was trying to convince, him or me. I did not have to explain myself to him, though. “Why did you attack me when I hugged Acacia, though? If that's not out of jealousy, then I don't know what is.” Ok, he's getting annoying. He took out a cigarette from a pack and lit it. “Say all you want. Why are you here?” I asked, trying to drop that topic so that I wouldn't say anything I would regret later. He has a certain way of pissing me off. “Have you thought about changing your shitty ways yet?” As if that were possible. People don't change overnight, anyone who does that is not trustworthy. “I'm not a pup for you
(Six months later)(Elio) After Alex's death, everyone had been emotional. Trying to pick up from where we left off was a hard task to complete. But we were determined to. We were grieving for the loss of our friend and beta. No matter what he did, he's just someone that no one could hate. As for Austin, he told me that he had been the one to help Acacia escape. After the war, he started to spill everything. I didn't hate him for doing it, though. It's something that needs to be done. Now, I realized just how fucked up I really am. Knowing that they had to go behind my back and help my mate ran from me, was the hardest part of this. So, I won't judge them for what they did. After all, I deserved it. Today, marks the day of the ceremony. We were doing it the right way, no matter my age. Storm had fought dad and won, obtaining a title that wasn't rightfully his since he didn't go through the ritual. But, we earned it. And that's one hell of an accomplishment if you asked me. Stan
(Storm) I knew that something was wrong once I got back to the pack house. Hearing shouts coming from my warriors and men who had decided to stay and fight as well had me speeding up. I saw my father's wolf tackling a rogue before biting down on its neck. Knowing that he was alright to fight on his own, I threw the rogue that I was carrying and heard a resulting crack as it landed against a tree. I ran towards three rogues who came barreling towards me. I didn't wait for them to take me on, as I tackled them one by one. I was right before. This is my specialty. So, it didn't take long for me to kill them.I growled in frustration as more and more rogues came. I wonder how Jessica was able to get them to take part in the fight. Luckily for me, everyone was well-trained to take them on. I was busy gloating over the fact that we were well on our way to victory. But, I should have known that it wasn't going to be this easy. A rogue ran towards me when I wasn't concentrating, almost
(Elio) 'So, what do you think?' I asked Storm after coming back from a run. He desperately wanted it, so after making sure that Acacia was gone, I shifted. We had spent at least half an hour running before I had to go to training.'About?' Storm replied, I rolled my eyes in return. He knew exactly what I was talking about, yet he was acting like he didn't. 'Acacia. She accepted us even though we treated her like garbage before. I was expecting her to reject me the moment she returned.' Storm huffed while taking control of my body for a brief moment and swinging at the opponent. 'Damn, can't a wolf live in peace? Ok, I admit that I went about everything the wrong way. But, it wasn't really me that was in control. The medicines that were injected in us had their side effects, and I didn't know that she was my mate. If I did, then maybe I would have treated her differently. Who knows, though? I'm a fucked up wolf.' Storm didn't even sound, sorry. I groaned, not liking the idea of havi

(Acacia) “Your wolf, he's back!” I exclaimed as I looked at Elio with wide eyes. He was also shocked, not expecting it to happen so soon.“I-I'm talking to him! Damn, he's really back, and it's all because of you.” Elio replied, I gave him a confused look, wondering what he was talking about. “It seems as if you accepted us, one touch from you, and he came back. Maybe that was all it needed after all.” I nodded my head happily. After a while, Elio went back to being serious. There was still a war that's about to take place. We couldn't just sit back and act as if everything were alright. “My father is already working on getting the women and children out of here. I want you to leave as well.” I was going to argue with him, but he gave me a pointed look which had me closing my mouth.“That's final Acacia. You are pregnant with my pup. You are an easy target, Jessica knew that I wanted an heir, it's the reason I purchased you in the first place.” When he said that, I could tell that
(Acacia) I was slowly regaining consciousness when a hand was suddenly placed over my mouth, blocking any sound that I would make. I started to panic, knowing that this was probably it for me. But then, the person took their hand away and placed his index finger against his lips, telling me to be quiet. He then removed the mask from his face, and I noticed that it was Elton. I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he was here to save me. “I'm so sorry about this, I will get you out of here. But, you have to promise me you won't tell Alpha King Elio that I was the one who helped you, I knew all along that this was the work of Jessica.” He explained as he got to work untying the knots on my wrists. I groaned when they were free while gently massaging them. “How did you know?” I asked. He gestured to me to follow him quietly, which I did. “This was her mother's hideout. Before she passed away, Maryanne would sometimes take Jessica here.” I nodded my head as we made our way throug
(Unknown POV) I walked up to the person who told me to meet him at a specific location, and my heart hammered in my chest as I realized what I was about to do. I would rather not betray anyone, but it came to a point where I couldn't just sit back and do nothing. My pack was misplaced, without a proper alpha to guide them it sure as shit was heading in the wrong direction. That's something that I didn't want, so I was going to do everything in my power to make sure that didn't happen. “Were you followed?” The man asked, I shook my head at his question. Taking in his appearance, I cringed at the sight in front of me. He had a long scar on the right side of his face that seemed to be somewhat infected. A thick, yellowish substance was oozing out of the open area that missed a couple of stitches. “Good, anything that I should know?” I folded my arms, still unsure if I should do this or not. “He's still not getting better, I suggest the war should be called off for now.” The man laugh
(Elio) My heart hurts. In fact, everywhere on me was hurting as days passed without any signs of Acacia. Some of my warriors were out searching for her, as my time was drawing near. I knew that without her being by my side, it would be devastating. Storm still hasn't shown any signs of ever coming back, no matter how much I called for him. Dr. Andrew was trying his best to help me, but no number of medications that he gave me could amount to the loss that I felt. At first, I thought that I was a tough bastard who could endure anything thrown my way. Looking back at the way I acted before was laughable. I don't even know how everyone puts up with me when I was like that. Now, I am back to lying in the pack hospital bed. Suffering from the separation of my mate. My withdrawals came back in full force, making me wish that I was dead instead. I now saw this as a punishment, one that I had gladly accepted. “Elio, you have visitors.” Alex said, I groaned and grabbed the pillow while
(ELIO'S POV) A feeling of anxiety and discomfort overcame me out of nowhere, I gasped as I held on to the counter next to me, trying to stop myself from falling. Luckily for me, Alex was heading in my direction and saw me. He hurriedly made his way over and helped me to sit down. I started to calm down while trying to figure out what the hell was that about. Alex sighed while handing me an envelope. “This came for you.” I nodded my head and opened the letter, my eyes became wide as I started to read out loud. “An Alpha King's mate is their weakness, right? Now that you're separated, prepare yourself.” I jumped up suddenly and ran towards Acacia's room, hoping that she's there. Once I was there, I knocked on the door, but there was no answer. I continued to knock until Alex started to pull me away, but I managed to escape his hold and kicked the door down. I just wanted to make sure she's alright. After a moment of looking around, I noticed that Acacia really wasn't here. I groane
