Chapter Two
Alarick, The Alpha King"Why isn't Dennis back yet," Alarick panted around in the room with his hands on his waist, "He should be here by now," he murmured."Your highness," the pack's witch moved closer to him and bowed, "He is going to get back to us with the news soon, and I am sure it is going to be a good news," she added."This is your fault Morgana," Alarick groaned, "You told me that you've found her and you know everything about her, but I guess you only tricked me to coming into this fucking human realm," he shook his head and turned to the window.Morgana sighed, she knew the alpha king really well, one has to be careful with him or they would have themselves to blame.Alarick's wolf, Leo was possessed by the demon whose name was called Ubel.Leo, who has been possessed by the demon Ubel, has the control over Alarick's body and mind, he controls him and makes him do whatever he wants sometimes.Often times, he would take complete control over his mind and make him do whatever he wanted, leaving Alarick devasted and confused after getting back to his real self."Your highness, the greatest king that has ever ruled the brown east pack," Morgana smiled, "I know for a fact that you are pissed about Dennis' slowness, I also know that you are not okay with staying in the human realm, but I am so sure we won't go back to our realm empty handed. We will go back with that woman, just trust me," she concluded, hoping she had successfully convinced Alarick to be calm.Leo, Alarick's wolf gets more chance to take over his mind when he is angry. Whenever Alarick gets angry about something, the wolf takes over his mind and he gets empowered by the dark power of the demon, making him act in a way he wouldn't have acted if he was in his right state of mind."Your highness," Morgana said again with her head bent, she was trying all her best to make sure that Alarick wouldn't get angry, she wouldn't be able to do anything about him if he gets angry, he might even kill her.Alarick turned back to her and sighed, "I hope you are saying the truth," he sighed and took a sit on the king sized bed in the hotel room.They had been in the human realm for less than twenty four hours and he was already tired of being there, it was like the whole place was suffocating him, he just wanted to finish up the business he came for and go back to his world, he wanted to go back to where he belongs to.The breeze, the sound, the people, everything felt different to him."Your highness, the king," someone said and walked in, he went flat on his chest, "Yes I know I have been so slow in doing my job, I am here to tell you that I have found her," he added.Alarick jumped up from the bed, "You found her?," he asked with a smile on his face.His smile wasn't because he was excited to meet her, although he was, a bit. He wanted to see who this person was and if she was fit to be his mate, he also wanted to do all he came to do and go back his world.Alarick needed a heir, for a reason which was known to him and some other members of the pack. Although, he already had a chosen mate, one whom he got mated to, to settle the dispute between his pack and her pack, but the only one who could carry his heir was his real mate.Morgana was assigned by him to help him find his mate, and she did, he was going to meet her in some minutes."Let's go," Alarick said to Dennis and they headed out along with Morgana.They checked out and got to the garage, "Here you go your highness," Dennis said and opened the car door for him to go in.Dennis was Alarick's personal bodyguard, he follows him to wherever he goes. Dennis was the only one who volunteered to be his bodyguard as others were scared of what happened to Alarick's previous bodyguards.He had killed about five of his bodyguards out of anger, he only get to see that after he had calmed down.Few minutes into the driving, Dennis pulled over beside a young lady who was of the middle twenties, "There she is your highness," he said and pointed to the lady who didn't stop moving."Did I tell you that I need a maid?," Alarick asked scornfully, "I don't need one, I have lots of slave in the palace, shall we go to see my mate now," he added.Dennis sighed, "This is your mate your highness," he said again, hoping he wouldn't get angry because he had a very bad temper.Alarick pushed the car door open like he was going to tear it down, Dennis and Morgana also alighted from the car."That thing is my mate?," he asked, "This can't be, why are the heavens against me," he shouted and they both shook."Talk to him," Dennis whispered to Morgana, "I can't handle him, just talk to him, don't let him get angry," he trembled in fear."Your highness," Morgana started and cleared her throat, she was also scared, but she had no choice than to talk to him, "You don't have to take her as your mate, remember you're not getting mated to her," she continued and moved closer to him, "She just has to carry your baby and that will be all, she will leave after the delivery," she added.Alarick sighed, he seemed to buy Morgana's idea, "That's a great one," he sighed and a smile fell on Morgana's face, "Just a deal with her to carry my child and she would be gone," he added and walked towards the young lady who seemed not to be conscious of what was happening around her."Hey," Alarick called, "Hey," he called again but got no answer from this woman.Why does he have to do that?, he was the alpha king, he was above everyone else, "Wait," he said and pulled her back by her arm.It took few minutes for the lady to turn back, the lady who turned out to be Leanda, "Who are you?," she asked.Alarick didn't say a word, he kept staring at her, wondering what the heavens were thinking when they made a lowlife human like her his mate, what were they expecting him to do with a human who had little to no energy in her?.Except that she was his mate, and he could feel some connections with her, there was nothing else about her, she was a lowlife to him, she was even lower than the omegas."Who are you?," Leanda asked again, but Alarick still couldn't give her an answer.Another thing that bother him was if his child was going to be a lowlife like the lady standing before him, will his child also not have powers like this human girl?, that will be a disgrace to him, his pack and to his entire clan.He was starting to have a second thought about the whole surrogacy idea, what if his child comes out with no energy just like this lady."What do you want from me?," she yelled this time.There was no going back, he needed a heir, he would have to let her carry his child, "I want you to carry my child," he blurted out."What!," she exclaimed and stared at him for minutes, "Is this a joke?," she asked."Do I look like a comedian?," he retorted, "I want you to carry my baby for whatever amount you want, just mention it and it will be yours," he added.Leanda threw his hand off her, "I think you've got the wrong person," she said and walked away.Alarick tried hard not to get angry, he also knew what would happen if he does, he had been told about how he behaves whenever he gets angry, he one time saw the video, he didn't want that to happen again.He turned to Dennis, "What is her name?," he asked."Leanda," Dennis answered."Leanda," Alarick called out and ran to her, he pulled her back forcefully and towards the car, "You have to listen to me," he said."And what if I don't want to listen to you?," she shouted, "By the way, how do you know my name?," she was confused, she had never seen this man before, how come he knows her name.Alarick smiled, "You should know by now that you were wrong when you said I got the wrong person, you are the one I'm looking for," he responded."And what the hell do you want from me?," she shouted."I want you to carry my child, is that difficult for you to understand?," he asked, his stomach rumbled, "I will give you whatever amount you want, just accept to do it," he added.Leanda Smiled, "And what if I don't accept to it?, I don't even know you, I've never met you before, and you want me to carry your child," she grumbled."You don't need to know me woman, and I don't even want to know you, I just want you to carry my child, and that will be all," he went on."You know I can sue you for this, this is an humiliation, I can have the cops arrest you," she was just threatening him, she wanted him to back off, she really couldn't waste her time going to the Station to write a statement or whatever they do there, she had just few hours to make a hundred thousand dollars, even though that sounded impossible, she wanted to try, she just couldn't stay without doing nothing."You can do nothing," Alarick laughed, "With just a snap of my finger, I can burn this whole place down," he chuckled.Morgana sighed. Yes, Alarick can do it, he was as powerful as that, and more powerful when his wolf gets the chance to take over him, he could that if he wants."I'm not scared of you, those are empty threats," Leanda said and tried to leave but he pulled her back."Let me go," she yelled, "I can't even imagine myself being with a man like you, is this how you were trained to treat women?," she shouted."Women?," Alarick laughed, one that was intimidating, "Do you count yourself as one?, you are not even close to my slaves, you are not as beautiful as they are," he laughed again, "I know you need the money, you look like you've been suffering, you will need the money to make your life and...""How dare you," Leanda shouted and landed a slap on Alarick's face. She couldn't hold back her tears any longer, why was everyone talking to her and treating her like she wasn't a human?, what has she done wrong?, as it also gotten worse to the point where a total stranger would just see her and start humiliating her?."I don't want your money," she cried, "Stay away from me," she added and turned to leave again but this man still pulled her back and pinned her to his car."You slapped me," he shook his head and leaned closer to her, "You can't go Scot free after laying your hand on me, the first thing I will do after getting you under me is cut that hand off," he threatened, but it didn't sound like a threat, he could do it if he wants to."Let me go," Leanda shouted, she tried to get away from him, but obviously he was stronger than her.Alarick pinned her to the car, he could feel his wolf struggling to take over his body and mind, but he fought it back, he shouldn't do anything wrong, that could hinder him from going back to his world.The slap made his wolf more angry, and one other thing was triggering him, Alarick could feel the urge of it to hurt that woman, be knows when his wolf wants to hurt someone."You have no other choice, you have to do this," he growled"I have a choice, I am not going to do what you want Mr, just let me go," Leanda retorted, "Leave me alone," she cried, she was helpless, she wasn't even close to this man in terms of strength, how was she going to get away from him?."Listen to me," Alarick shouted and raised her chin, "I tend to get whatever I desire, and you won't be an exemption. I will make you carry my baby, I don't care about you, what you want, or what you want. I will make you do what I want, and I will also make you pay for slapping me, you're not going to go Scot free, you can trust me on that," he growled."Let me go," Leanda screamed and pushed him away, "I don't want to carry your child, I won't do it," she yelled, "Don't you dare come after me," she added and took to her heels."I will make her do it whether she likes it or not," Alarick said to himself.Chapter ThreeSold To A Stranger 1Leanda sighed after successfully getting away from that strange man, everything about him was strange and even scary.From his two colored eyes to the way he speaks with command and even his facial expression, everything about him was scary.She walked passed a park and sat on the bench, she buried her head in her palms."Where should I go from here?," Leanda asked herself as tears began to roll down her eyes again, her life which she thought was going to be better seemed to be going worse. She was going to be taken away by a man who would use her as an avenue for money, she would end up selling her body for money, something she never thought would happen to her."What should I do?," she murmured, she had few hours to get the money, a hundred thousand dollars, where was she going to get such money from?.She wondered if she should go back to that strange man, he said something like giving her any amount she wants, she was confused.Going back to that
CHAPTER FOURSold To A Stranger 2Leanda stepped into the house and gasped, “What is he doing?” she asked herself a question which she clearly knew the answer to. He was there to convince her again, but she had already made herself clear that she wasn’t interested in whatever he wanted, why wouldn’t he listen to her?He was sitting comfortably on the one seater sofa with Sarah on his laps, while Natasha sat right opposite him, Avi was nowhere in sight.Leanda couldn't move from the spot she was, she kept wondering how this strange man got to know her name, and now her house, who was he?."What are you doing here?" Leanda questioned as she walked to him with a disgusting look on her face. She huffed, "I thought I've already made it clear that I'm not interested in whatever you want."He laughed, "Do you think I care about what you want?," he asked and turned to face Natasha, "I think it will be best if you explain to her what happened and what she needs to do. Don't you dare waste my t
CHAPTER FIVELocked Up 1Few minutes later, the. are pulled over at the front of a big building, one which Leanda had seen but never walked into, what could she be looking for?They stepped down from the car while she did so reluctantly, she imagined creating a scene, maybe that was going to work and this man would let her go, but that would only cause more troubles for her.Morgana moved closer to her and held her by her arm, "My name is Morgana," she stated.That was the last thing Leanda was interested in at that moment, her name. She had nothing to do with her name, she just wanted to go back home, to her family, to her dad and Sarah, she wanted to go away from whoever these people were."Please, just let me go," she sniffled."I'm sorry, but I can't help you with that," Morgana responded and smiled, "Come with me," she added and they followed behind Alarick and Dennis who had already led the way.While they were going in, all Leanda could think about was a way of escape, a way to
CHAPTER SIXLocked Up 2"Who is he?" Leanda asked as he watched Alarick heading towards the bathroom, "Who is this man and what does he want from me?" she broke into tears.Morgana moved closer to her and pulled her to herself, "Come with me, I will take care of your cut," she stated, pretending like she didn't hear the question Leanda asked."Didn't you hear what I said?" Leanda sniffled, even though Morgana was obviously a middle aged woman, Leanda wouldn't mind disrespecting her if she wouldn't give an answer to the question she asked, "Who are you two and what do you want from me?" she asked.Morgana still didn't give her an answer to her question, she pretended like she didn't hear what she asked.She picked up a small first aid box from the table and turned to her, "Sit," she said, pointing to the chair at the side of the window.Leanda refused to sit, "You heard me asking you a question, but you refused to answer, and now you are telling me to sit?" she grumbled, "I won't sit u
CHAPTER SEVENA New WorldThe door to the closet came open and Leanda jumped up on her feet, she was at first scared because she thought it would be Alarick, but she heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Morgana at the doorstep.With her hand still on the doorknob, Morgana said, "We have to leave."Leanda's eyes widened, it was another day and the same confusion, they were back to confusing her again, "Leaving?" she asked with her brows raised, "What do you mean leaving? and where are we leaving for?" she inquired, where else would they have to go?"You will know when we get there, just come with me," she responded and walked away.Leanda couldn't move, she couldn't follow her, she just stayed on the same spot and watched her as she headed for the main door to the room.Where were they leaving for? she wanted an answer to that, but the one whom she asked has refused to give her an answer to that, just like she didn't give her an answer to the question she asked the night before.Morgana
CHAPTER EIGHTDeath Is NearAlarick growled as he moved closer to her, "How dare you!"His massive werewolf form loomed over her, its eyes blazing with anger.His wolf had finally gotten the chance to take over his body, he couldn't fight back the shifting and he was also angry and that was what increased the wolf's control over him.Leanda's eyes widened in terror, she shook in fear as she saw the figure looming in front of her, it's eyes glooming with otherworldly hunger and anger, she could feel it's rage .She gasped as she stepped backwards, what was she going to do? She looked at everyone around as if it ask for help but they all looked away and it all seemed like they were scared too.With a snarl, Alarick lunged at her, its razor-sharp claws aimed for her throat.Leanda screamed, her heart pounding with fear. She had never felt so helpless in her life. She looked up at him, her hands trembled as she held on to his hairy hand."P..P.. Please let me go," she pleaded, tears rol
CHAPTER NINEThrown Into The DungeonLeanda's heart was pounding in her chest as she was thrown into the cell. The door slammed shut behind her, and she heard the sound of the lock clicking into place. She stood there for a moment, her eyes adjusting to the dim light of the cell.The cell was small and dark, with stone walls and a dirt floor. There was a small window high up on the wall, but it was too high for her to reach. The only other thing in the cell was a straw mattress in the corner. It was clear that the cell was designed to be as dreadful as possible, with no amenities or comforts.Leanda held onto the door, banging it and calling for help. She screamed until her throat was hoarse, but no one came. She sank to the ground, her back against the door, and broke down in tears. She was completely alone, in a world she didn't understand, trapped in a cell with no hope of escape.After a while, she wiped away her tears and started to look around the cell. She examined the walls, s
CHAPTER TENThe Royal HallLeanda looked around in the cell, why would they take them from one cell and throw them in another?She was still holding on to Chloe's hand tightly, and looked up at her and cleared her throat, "W...What are we doing here?" she asked.Chloe shrugged, as if to say she had no idea, "I'm not sure," she responded."We will be taken away soon," Avi answered her question, "I don't know what for, but it might be to clean or do any other job. We just have to wait till the guards come back here," she explained.Leanda nodded, she had to accept the bitter truth and that was the truth that she was in a total different world, thrown into the cell and she would never get out.The earlier she accepts that truth, the better and easier it becomes for her to adapt to the changes and the rules of the new environment, but Leanda wasn't ready to accept that."I will do whatever it takes to make sure that I get out of this place," she murmured silently to herself, "I don't belo
CHAPTER NINETY-FOURThe SentenceAlarick’s heart thumped in his chest as he held on to the result, it was like his heart was going to burst out wide. He shook his head and pinched himself stylishly, just to be sure that he wasn’t dreaming and he was seeing right.He gazed back at the result and it only stared back at him, the same thing he saw before. His greatest fear peered at him, it was becoming a reality and there was nothing he could do about it, he was loosing himself and the one he loved, and he had nothing to say, he couldn’t do anything to stop it.His soul shattered as he shook his head, “0.00%.” He murmured and a tear escaped from his eyes.His greatest fear has become a reality, against all his wishes, against all his prayers. He held on to the result, his hand shook from rage and anguish, he felt like he was loosing everything he owned, he felt like he was loosing all he cared about, and he just didn’t know what to do.His hands shook as he stared at the report again. He
CHAPTER NINETY-THREEThe ResultLeanda paced back and forth in the room, her heart thumped in her heart with each step she took, it was just less than an hour to the twenty-four hours that was said by the physician and she would soon find out her fate.She chewed on her finger as she paced back her forth, murmuring a silent prayer that the result turns out to be what she wants, she prayed that Alarick turns out to be the father of the baby, that was the only thing she wanted.She felt like her heart would burst out wide as it kept missing a beat, she staggered over most of her steps as she walked up and down, she hoped that things would go the way she wanted and she wouldn’t have to go away from Alarick.He was her live, he was the man she loved and she couldn’t imagine her life without him, she couldn’t imagine being away from him.The worse that was would happen was being taken by Lyall away from the kingdom, and just the thought of that terrified her, she didn’t want to be away fro
CHAPTER NINETY-TWOThe Test"Let's go!" Lyall shouted and grabbed Leanda’s hand, forcefully pulling her along with him.Leanda turned back again to see Alarick still standing in the same spot he was, her heart broke into million pieces as she watched his emotionless face.“A…Alarick,” she murmured as she was pulled forcefully by Lyall, who didn’t even give her the chance to say her goodbyes, he kept on dragging her without looking back.Tears rolled down Leanda’s eyes, she knew she made a mistake, she knew she had committed a big sin, she knew she had done something unforgivable, but she doesn’t want to go away from Alarick, she wanted to be with him but he seemed like he doesn’t want that.Her shoulders shook as she was being dragged away, she didn’t know what else she could do, she wanted to stay, she wanted to be with Alarick, but she had destroyed their relationship with the mistake she made, Leanda felt responsible for the situation she had found herself.Suddenly, Lyall found hi
CHAPTER NINETY-ONEHer Infidelity “I have the pictures and video here,” Lyall said and moved closer to Alarick, “Now, you will have no other option than to believe that this woman is not who you think she is,” he added and glared at Leanda.Leanda hung her head, it was all her fault, she was responsible for this situation she was in, she was responsible for it all.How could she have believed Lyall? She trusted him and believed that he was a friend and now the same one who professionally acted like the best man she had ever met was destroying everything she had worked for. Leanda could remember what she had to go through before Alarick realized he was in love with her and even with the presence of the baby, she thought it was going to be a happy life for them afterwards. She thought she was finally going to live her dreams of being with the man she loved and living a happy life afterwards, but now she doesn’t think that such thing would ever happen.Lyall held Alarick’s hand and pl
CHAPTER NINETYThe Conspiracy Alarick cupped Leanda’s face and looked into her teary eyes, he still couldn’t believe all Bree was saying and he wanted to hear from her directly, he wanted to hear her say that it was the truth before believing it. “Tell me Leanda, is she saying the truth?”“Yes, she is.” A voice said. They all turned back to see Lyall walking towards them, “Yes, she is carrying my baby, and the future king of the Blood Moon Pack,” he added as he walked to them.“You.” Alarick growled, his resentment grew inside of him, just with the sight or Lyall. He has detested him right from the day he met him in that compromising position with Leanda, and even after that, it got to him that Leanda went back to see him.Alarick didn’t want to believe that leanda went to him on her own free will, he believed that she might have been forced to do that and Lyall would be behind it all because he looked like a cunning person to him, just like his sister.“She is carrying my child, and
CHAPTER EIGHTY-NINEThe Heir Of The Blood Moon PackBree looked up at Leanda with a smile which changed into a wicked smirk almost immediately, “this woman right here is carrying the child of my brother, Lyall, the prince of the Blood Moon Pack.” She announced with a big smile on her face.“What!” Alarick and Leanda exclaimed.There it was, Bree’s entire plan, and why she had been silent all along. That was she had been planning and why she had been quiet, she was planning a big strike, one which leanda wouldn’t be able to escape from. She had it all planned and was waiting for the right time to strike.Leanda just stood frozen on the spot, unable to say or do anything, she had been caught by Bree and she was unable to think about anything that might save her from this situation.She thought she was safe and she was finally out of her plan when Bree didn’t talk about it, but she never knew that she was planning a bigger plan, one she wouldn’t be escape from, she didn’t know what to do
CHAPTER EIGHTY-EIGHTPregnant 2“Your highness, Leanda is pregnant!” Morgana announced.Alarick stood still, buying more minutes to process what was just said, he couldn’t really believe it. Just few minutes ago, he was thinking about how he and failed to provide a heir for his kingdom even after taking the pain to go to the human world to go and bring Leanda.He was only thinking about it all few minutes before Leanda collapsed to the floor, he couldn’t believe that what he thought he had failed at finally happened. He thought he failed at giving the kingdom the heir which they deserved, he thought he had failed, but he hasn’t.“A..Are you sure about this?” He asked for confirmation, “Are you sure she is pregnant?” He asked again and moved close to Morgana, “Is she really pregnant? Is she carrying my child?” He asked and Morgana nodded.Alarick had never been so emotional, he couldn’t believe it. Just minutes ago, he was thinking abutting his end time and how the most important thing
CHAPTER EIGHTY-SIXPregnant Three Weeks LaterLeanda was in Alarick’s chamber, cleaning the furniture. Alatick sat on the bed, watching her as she does that.It’s been weeks and the only thing that has grown between them was the sexual tension, Alarick had been cold as he was before, he pushes her away whenever he wants and call her back when he feels like.His anger was still there, and in the last three weeks, he has overcome the stage of irritation and now he was facing the unusual thirst for blood. Alarick almost killed one of the guards when the sudden thirst started, but he got to know after that, that keeping Leanda close to him suppresses the thirst a bit.So, he gave Leanda a rule not to ever leave his side, in the hope that he would be able to control himself, while Leanda thought he did that because he didn’t want her to go see Lyall again.Alarick knew he had just two stages left before the complete takeover happens and he would lose everything that made him; his body, his
CHAPTER EIGHTY-FIVEI Own YouLeanda’s mind began race with possible scenarios and outcomes of what could happen if that was true, she was paralyzed by fear and unable to move. She wondered if Bree had told Alarick what she did and he was here to pass his judgment on her, her whole body trembled just by the thought of that.Alarick wouldn’t take it lightly with her, he wouldn’t let her go scot free if he gets to know about her infidelity. She looked at Bree and she could see a smile on her face, her heart sank, she knew Bree has done something.“H…have I been caught?” Leanda stutteredChloe moved closer to her and held her hand, giving her the comfort, warmth and assurance that she was not alone in this and she would stand by her, against anyone.“I am here with you Leanda, nothing would go wrong,” Chloe assured her but Leanda couldn’t get her mind off what could be the outcome of what was about to happen this night.Leanda felt like no one could really understand what she was going t
