Ian's p.o.v
I kept quiet, staring at the lady coldly because I could only think of two things and that was. One, I was either relatively exhausted that I was seeing things that weren't real or my hearing wasn't at its best peak
"Axel, did she growl at us, and is she glaring at us right now?" I asked silently to be certain that I wasn't the only one seeing shit.
He huffed then retreated into our subconscious without a word.
His actions were rather old than pleasing ever since meeting the girl who claimed to be our mate. If it was any other girl doing the very same thing, he could have taken over and ripped her into pieces for her fucked up disrespect. But here he was, retreating and acting deaf. What was his fucking problem. Was he growing soft towards the slut because she looked innocent and pitiful?. Either way, I wasn't having that.
I pulled up my trousers and my zip without taking my eyes off of her. She had a glare across her face that was directed towards the trashy girl who was still kneeling in front of me.
I moved closer and stood in front of her calmly.
As calm as I was, I hated her disrespect so damn much.
She slightly lowered her gaze to the ground for a second but looked up to meet mine. Her eyes held anger and something else I couldn't quite pinpoint.
She opened her mouth to speak when I lifted my hand and slapped her hard across the face.
She groaned in pain and quickly covered her cheek with her hand as tears filled her eyes instantly.
Her hair was slightly ruffled and her hands trembling.
I could feel Axel's emotions yet I chose to ignore them. He was conflicted between getting angry with me or standing on my side.
I couldn't understand why he was acting like this, but I knew who the cause was, and that was the slut in front of me.
She dropped her hand slowly as tears rolled on her cheeks.
I inhaled quickly and exhaled then walked out of the room before I could do anything I didn't want to or might regret.
There was a slight twig of pain and an unexplainable feeling invading my heart. It was as if I felt bad for acting the way I did to her.
I stopped moving on the stairs and laughed softly like I was a crazy mad man.
"There is no way I feel bad. It is anger that I feel for her disrespect." I spat to myself then continued to walk downstairs.
Immediately I came outside and a smirk formed across my face.
The scent of fresh blood still filled the air and I could clearly hear screams.
"It's refreshing isn't it?" Neo asked from behind.
I turned and faced him with folded arms.
"You know how much I love to hunt and watch my prey suffer." I answered simply.
"Fancy anything in this pack?" He asked with a raised brow.
I kept quiet and brushed my hand through my hair.
Neo grew up by my side. Although we hated to admit it openly. We were more of brothers than friends. He understood me clearly and served me without question. Nothing went past him and he made sure everything went according to plan.
"A girl caught my attention." I answered in a low tone as he widened his eyes in disbelief.
"I don't mean it in that way, damn it." I quickly said.
"Then what did you mean alpha?" He asked.
"My woman has been serving me and you nicely hasn't she?. To top it all up she's got a good pussy. Don't you think she deserves a trophy of victory from another pack." I answered seriously.
He kept quiet for a second then signed loudly.
"She does. But if we are talking about trophies then jewelry would make her happier because she has a lot of underlings serving her." He answered, getting my full attention.
"You seem to know a little too well what my possession would love to have as a trophy, why is that?" I asked seriously.
It's not that I was jealous over them fucking and whispering useless promises in each other's ears. I was asking to keep a check on his loyalty. I needed him to remember who he was serving with his whole being. If I felt that his loyalty was being dragged to her I wasn't going to hesitate in ripping him apart.
"I'm your beta alpha, one of my jobs is to advise you correctly. Forgive me if I gave you doubts over my loyalty." He answered with a slight bow.
"Very well, but still do have that girl upstairs in the pack house serve her." I said.
"You mean the alpha's daughter?" He asked.
"No, there is another girl in the office upstairs. She's very stubborn and seems to piss me off with her every move. I don't want her dead because she does spark my interest a little bit. That's why I want you to gift her to my woman as her slave. I want to see how long she can last in my pack before she breaks down and wishes to take her own life." I answered with a smile.
Just the thought of breaking her mentality made me feel happy.
I hated her claim of us being mated and how she had an effect on Axel, I also didn't like the disrespect that she had and the fake courage that she fairly portrayed in front of me.
I wanted her to suffer and break down. I wanted her ruined and broken from inside out.
"Consider it done alpha." He answered.
"Good, now inform everyone to wrap everything up. We have fulfilled what we came for. Now it's time to go back home and have the best party of all time like always." I said happily as he smiled then turned and walked back to where the warriors were.
Amelia's p.o.v I stumbled a bit and tried my best to keep up with a small group of ladies that were around me. I saw how some warriors behind us beat some she-wolves who were very tired to walk and that gave me motivation to move no matter how much pain I was in. Two of the she-wolves were brutally raped and killed for trying to escape. After seeing that, we all were afraid of attempting such a thing. The alpha looked calm as he walked ahead. On his left side was a tall man who I could tell was a beta by his aura and on his other side was a delta that had tried to have his way with me in the woods. I couldn't understand why they were all walking in their human form rather than tuning into their wolves. Either way, I was grateful that the alpha had not given such an order because I couldn't shift into my wolf. Yes, I could hear her clearly and feel her emotions through me, but I couldn't shift. It was one of the reasons I was abused and mistreated. A few times th
Amelia's p.o.v I couldn't stop crying as we walked past the border of the pack. The two ladies were left dead and used like they were breeding machines and no one seemed to care. The bastards even hit them just to exercise their dominance and power. I had no idea what lay ahead of us but I could guess that it was hell. A few cheers came from the warriors when a huge mansion came into view and soon after a few houses too. "Home sweet home." The Beta Said then rushed ahead of everyone. "The beta sure has balls. He can't even put his cock in check when it comes to our Luna. I will pay you $10,000 if I'm wrong, but my guess is that he's rushing to fuck her." The Delta who was behind the alpha whispered, shocking me. I looked at the Alpha expecting him to turn and rip him to pieces for saying that. But when he continued walking without a care I was stunned. How could he be calm and not even care?. Was it because she wasn't his mate?. Or was it because he had heard no
Amelia's p.o.v "I don't like her." The Luna said lazily while she sat upright and faced me coldly. I slowly lowered my eyes to the ground and clenched my hands in fists. I was furious with her, so damn much, and the only thing I could think about was grabbing her hair and dragging her out of the damn room and to the freakin stairs. "You and I share the same feelings, Luna. I actually don't fucking get why the alpha would gift such a slut to you. If he wanted to hand you a trophy, the slaughtered alpha's daughter would have been....." "Blade, know your place." The beta said loudly. "Neo..." "Ian would kill you without hesitation upon hearing your stupid words. Everything he has ever done for you and our pack has always been wise and the best decision no one could ever come up with. Choosing this she-wolf as a slave for the Luna isn't a bad idea and deep down we all know that Ian has his reason which we should never question." The Beta said with emphasis
Amelia's p.o.v "Ouch," I murmured under my breath while I walked to a huge mansion ahead. A few women were outside chatting and laughing. By their clothes and how they looked, I understood they were split into four groups. The first group which was near the entrance were dressed in high-quality clothes. I remember hearing Merbal obsessing over the same clothing line. She went on ranting about how expensive the clothes and products were. The ladies all had their hair and make-up done. They looked very healthy too and cheerful. Right on their left was another group of ladies. Unlike those, they looked horrible. Their clothes were dirty and torn, they had raccoon eyes, and bruises were fixed on their bodies. They were all quiet and kept looking from side to side, it's like they were in fear of something. A few meters away from them was another group. The ladies in that group wore simple clothes. One was reading a book, while another was moving back and forth with headsets plu
Amelia's p.o.v I sighed in relief once the warriors were completely out of my sight. My heart was rapidly beating and the pain was still there that it was making me sick to my stomach. I looked at the lady beside me and forced a smile on my face. It was horrible to be noticed by any man who wasn't my mate, but then again, how was I to hide from all of them without being noticed?. My mate didn't want anything to do with me and he made that clear a lot of times. The only time he gave me his full attention was when I was attacked and that's only because I was his wife's personal slave. "Thank you." The lady whispered, confusing me. Why was she saying that to me when I was the one who was supposed to say that? If not for her, I couldn't have sat down or known that the warriors were behind me, who knew what they could have done to me?. "For what?" I asked in a low tone. "For helping me out back then. Remember, I was about to go back when the beta granted us freedom?" She ask
Amelia's p.o.v Not only were we taken by force from our pack, all that we knew and grew up cherishing was destroyed, despite having no one to love and to protect me, she probably did, and seeing them being killed and slaughtered was a horrible feeling. What's even worse was that we were supposed to please the same pack that killed our pack members. "I don't know when my owner will be back." She said in a cracked voice. "Owner?" I asked to try and understand what she was talking about. "Yes, my owner." She answered then pulled out her hands from mine. "When we reached the pack, you were taken away while we were ordered to stand there. A warrior went ahead to call the other males that had remained behind." She said then swallowed hard and put her hand together on her lap. "Then the warriors came running happily towards us..." She trailed off as her voice broke and tears continued to fall. "You don't have to tell me anything. So don't." I whispered sadly as tears filled my
Amelia's p.o.v "You have a mate!" She asked on top of her voice. "No, I don't. But I know deep down my heart that he will be very handsome and sexy." I blurted the words out in defense. She kept quiet and gave me a suspicious eye for a few seconds. "If you have, you can tell me. You don't have to hide it, you know." She muttered under her breath. "I told you already that I don't have one." I said nervously then bumped her shoulder to mine. "Okay, if you say so." She answered. "Look, if I was already mated would I still be a virgin?" I asked softly. She kept quiet then shrugged. "I had no idea that you were a virgin." She answered then smiled warmly. "It feels good to know I'm not the only one who lacks experience in that area." She finished. I chuckled softly then sighed. "You are not alone. I'm a virgin and I'm not mated, if I was, I could have been marked by now because we both know how possessive the males are when it comes to their fem
Amelia's p.o.v "Amelia, are you going to sleep in bed the whole day?" Toni asked beside me in concern. Yes, I was!. After yesterday's incident, I was angry with myself and them. But above all, I didn't want to get on those stupid girls' bad side. "You heard that elderly woman's words. We are better off here and much safer." I answered, then turned on the bed and faced the other side. "For goodness sake Amelia that was yesterday in the afternoon. Now it's evening, it's a different day!. Moreover, she emphasized not to walk out on the night of the full moon, and it's not yet the night of the full moon. You refused to go downstairs to the kitchen or eat anything as well!" She exclaimed. "That's because I'm not hungry." I answered simply. "Then take a bath, that's the least you can do." She said seriously. I sighed loudly then sat upright and faced her. "Do they share the bathrooms like they share the kitchen?" I asked. "Yes, here they share everything apart from the be
August's POV "So?" I asked Kyle on the phone."I called Garren yesterday, and he said Mariana is doing okay, although she looked very afraid and conflicted when she met the other members of his territory," he answered."And the Alpha king's mate?" I asked."She decided to stay in Lui's pack because she felt free and safe there," he replied."I'm sorry, Uncle August, but why did you leave like that without a word? You missed out on a lot," he asked.I slowly turned in my seat behind my desk and looked at Tanya, who was sleeping on the bed. I could still see a light shade of red under her lashes.I had never seen her cry so much before. She refused to eat most of the time or talk to me as much as she used to.I was trying my very best to comfort her, yet it did nothing; I was running out of options."Something bad happened, and I didn't want to inform anyone. We had to leave immediately because it involved my mate, and she asked that of me," I answered and then stood up from my seat."
Lui's POV "Are you okay?" I asked Akira with concern."Yes, how could I not be after the exciting day we have had?" she answered playfully.These past few years have brought us closer than we already were. Not only did we share a mark, but we also shared an amazing, mature bond.She was more open with me, and I got to see a side of her that I never expected. She was naughty in bed and funny whenever I felt down or needed cheering up. She was also very respectful, kind, and mindful.I laughed softly and then wrapped my arm around her shoulders, pulling her into my embrace.We were standing all alone in the living room.After that talk, Dad and Mom asked Mariana to follow them so she could meet her late brother's mate, while the twins decided to get rid of the body.Uncle Alec went on to invite Alpha Ian and his family to join him in the dining hall, while we decided to remain behind for a bit and talk."I'm just very happy that everyone is safe," I said honestly."Me too," she answer
Tanya's POV "Is it usually like this?" I asked August seriously."What do you mean?" he asked back with a chuckle."You know, like some stranger coming into this territory and threatening them all," I answered as he shrugged."Well, what can I say? Our kind are so full of dominance that they tend to have fun ambushing weaker packs sometimes," he said, then looked at my father, who was quietly standing opposite us."Is everything okay with him?" he mind-linked me."I think he is a bit shaken by what happened," I answered through the mind-link and then moved closer to him."Dad, are you okay?" I asked seriously."Yeah, it's just that when I heard that heartwarming talk in the living room, I came to realize how terrible holding secrets is," he answered as I smiled."That's why I have none," I replied softly."Can I talk to you for a second, as in alone?" he asked.I frowned and then quickly shook my head."No, whatever you have to say, you can say it in front of my man," I answered seri
Mariana's POVI stood still, tears running down my face and a beating heart in my hand."I'm sorry," my wolf whispered, then pulled back as I slowly looked down at my brother's dead body.I dropped the heart with a trembling hand and screamed as I fell to my knees in a panic, moving my hand to cover the hole in his chest."No, Diaz, no," I cried as I moved my other bloody hand to his face."You can't die, please, you can't die! Why, oh goddess, why?" I sobbed."Wake up and look at me! Please, look at me! I swear I will never get angry again," I cried at the top of my voice.I was very upset over his words, and for a second, I wished him dead. But how was I to know that my wolf would act upon this wish of mine, as cruel as it was?Every time I wished for something within her reach and power, she did exactly that. Then I felt so happy because she protected me, even when it was against my will!But how could she hurt our only brother like he was nothing? "Mariana," Amelia called as she
Diaz's POV"What exactly do you want to hear from me?" I asked lazily."Everything," Amelia answered strongly.I rolled my eyes and then looked at Ian coldly."There is no need to mind-link each other, so I'll be frank, Amelia," I said seriously."Please," she whispered."Your mate is a thorn in my side," I said.Twin Delta warriors were about to move when Ian raised his hand, and they stopped in their tracks."I'm glad because you will soon bleed from my fists," he answered with a smirk."Ian, I would like to give you that satisfaction, but I won't, because I am not here to seriously fight," I said honestly."And yes, most of you in this room are a nuisance, and most of you are a pest to us. But then there are those like her," I pointed at the ancient witch and then moved my hand to the female dragon."Who we consider useful and very powerful," I said, then sat down."I can see you hate me," I pointed out the obvious."You think? They want you dead," Amelia answered."Fair enough, bu
Diaz's POVWe sat in the living room as if we were animals in a zoo. They were all looking at us like we were crazy.Some decided to sit, while others chose to stand.We told our true story, yet they still had their doubts. Was it because we weren't telling them everything?"I don't like this," Mariana mind-linked me."Same, sister, but just hang in there. Our first plan was successful, and as we predicted, they had an ancient witch who could read minds, so we are safe," I mind-linked her back."Brother, is this truly worth the trouble?" she asked, still using our mind-link.I coldly glanced at her and then smiled. She quickly shifted her gaze from me and smiled back."I still feel like they are hiding something," Ian said loudly, getting everyone's attention.He was standing behind Amelia, who sat on the couch looking at us seriously.We knew Ian through stories we had heard, and when we finally met him, we recognized him just by the way he was overprotective towards our cousin. He a
Ian's POV Garren raised his hand but stopped when the Alpha Queen said some words in what sounded like Greek.We all looked at her like she was crazy.She continued to say words and then smiled innocently at us.I wanted to rip off her damn head because I felt something was wrong.I was surprised when Garren shifted back to his human form, clothes instantly appearing on his body. "Couldn't you have said that sooner?" he asked loudly, then turned and looked at Lexi."Thank you for the clothes," he said loudly, and then looked at us."Is he fucking insane? Giving his back to the enemies?" I asked through our pack's mind-link."Dad, Garren is never this careless. He knows what he is doing," Roxanne answered.I hated her judgment, but she was my little girl, and I chose to believe in her."You guys have to hear them out," he said as everyone looked at each other in disbelief."Garren, it seems you have grown soft over the years. Step aside; I'll take care of them," I said as I began to
THREE YEARS LATER Kyle's POV I stood next to my pregnant mate, smiling at Lui, who was waving on stage happily next to his Beta.After a few years, he was finally the Alpha. The ritual was successful, and his parents behind him looked so happy, just like his mate."I'm so proud of him," Tamara said cheerfully through our pack's mind-link.I looked behind and smiled when my eyes met my father's, who smiled back and gave a nod.He was standing next to my mother, and right behind him were Whitney's pack members, who were part of my family, along with Felix and her whole household.August, Tanya, his father-in-law, and a few friends of my father, whom he had met at the party in human territory—Alpha Glen, Sky, Sol, and Jace with their mates—stood further away.Having my whole family and a few pack warriors represent us and our respectable alliance that was going to soon take place filled my heart with peace.The past few years, Lui did his best, and his Beta was finally well-known in ot
Kyle's POV I was feeling very well rested and at peace.Even while I mich dressed, my eyes were on Yuki, who was still asleep in my bed, looking like an angel."Does this remind you of something?" Lionel asked, as I smirked while buttoning my shirt.Of course, it reminded me of Philippe's place, and it wasn't the first time I had slept on the ground while she lay in a better place.Yesterday, after eating, we decided to go for a walk close to the pack’s border. After the walk, we both didn't want to part ways. That's why I took the initiative and invited her to my room, which she agreed to.There, we spent time chatting, laughing, and eating what was brought to us by Nana.After that, she took the bed while I decided to lay down. Even when she asked me to share the bed, I still refused because I didn't trust myself to share the same bed with her and do nothing."She is beautiful, isn't she?" Lionel asked proudly."Of course, she's very beautiful," I answered, then moved closer to he
