For the whole 17 years of her existence, Alana did not know the word freedom and happiness having been confined in the basement of her family’s house accused of killing her own mother. She’s beaten, cursed at, and barely survived from crumbs of food thrown at her. She thought this is her final destiny and has accepted the bitter fate of her life not until the night of her 18th birthday, a mysterious alpha appeared at her door telling her that she is the long-lost daughter of the alpha king and claiming her as his mate he’s been looking for several years now.

But even if she stops, I will only offer my blood to her again and again.More memories came to me like when I chased after her back into her village, and when I learned about the truth of her identity and her strange behavior as a hybrid lycan and werewolf.We cannot be together according to the standards of our status and clans but no one can separate us.We were allergic to each other and with every second that we are together, it only gets more painful but that did not stop us from loving each
WILLIAMI glared at the nurse who was shivering all over on the floor. “You should properly take good care of Francine from now on. Stop giving her the medicine but do not tell anyone, you understand me?!”She crawled towards me and nodded. “Yes, alpha prince.”“Any untoward thing that could happen with Francine will be attributed to you. The life of your entire family will be the payment if you mess up, you get it?! I will not stop until I make sure your clan is all cut off if something bad happens to her, okay?!”She nodded repeatedly. “I get it, alpha prince. From now on, I will do everything you just said.”“Good.”I brushed Francine’s hair and watched how she administered the proper medicine to her.If they are doing this much to keep Francine from fully recovering, then I know they are really hiding something from me which I should find out starting from the real identity of Aria.And I should find out about it before my parents arrive. I did not waste any more time and went t
LUCAS“The spell I put on the alpha prince’s brain while performing the surgery would soon wear out the second he knows that he has a mate, beta.” The chief doctor glanced at me briefly and then bowed his head again before continuing. “The memories will come rushing into him and we cannot do anything to stop him from remembering Alana. I am afraid that if that happens, we will fall victims into his wrath.”I clenched my hands and cursed under my breath. I won’t allow that to happen! I have promised before the alpha king and myself that I will bring that secret with me to the graves. “So, before that happens, I should make sure that he doesn’t know that he has a mate. I should always remind him that those things for which he thought are real are not. But how can I do that when I fear that he no longer trusts me? I know he’s been feeling wary around me.”The chief doctor cleared his mouth before answering me. “I’m sorry but I cannot offer any solution anymore, beta. The surgery was perf
WILLIAMI gently put Aria onto my bed and began treating her myself. I don’t want the doctors of the palace to get acquainted with her. I mean, it’s technically their job but something is telling me that it would be better off if less and less people know her face and that she’s with me.I wiped her face with some cold towel to ease off the warmth in her body. Lycans and werewolves hyperventilate when they do not shift into our animals at a certain time. Aria was on the verge of her shapeshifting when I arrived.“Damn,” I muttered and gritted my teeth when my fingers trembled against her soft skin.I didn’t know I was this sex-deprived these days that I could shake like this in front of a sleeping woman.I managed to wipe her body as fast as I could before I put covers on her. I made sure that the blanket would go up to her neck so I could only see her face.“Shit, William. What are you? A thirteen-year-old boy who just saw his crush after a long time?”I snickered to myself and bent
WILLIAMI grabbed her wrist and pressed the silver cuff further even when it’s hurting me too.“Explain yourself. Just what the fucking thing you mean by that?! How did you know about her?! Tell me her name now!”It’s already too late to take back my words. The second my mouth slipped, the smile on her face widened upon knowing my weakness.“So, you did not remember her name? And even if I tell you her name, you will still forget her. That’s how the spell works. Am I right, alpha prince?”She grinned even wider. “The rumors are true all along that you won’t recognize her even when she’s alive and is standing right in front of you! Oh, how depressing it would be to be like you now, alpha prince!”I raised my hand ready to strangle her up but the sudden presence of a guard I put on Aria interrupted me.“Alpha prince, Lady Sophia learned about the woman you brought. As of now, she is coming to her. The guards are not able to stop her, alpha prince, because she has the badge of the queen
ARIA“Because Zuleik took something from me that I could never move on from. He took the woman that made me the happiest man in this world.”I paced around the room while his words kept on circling in my head. So, that is the reason why he is hunting us down. It’s not because they are afraid of another rebellion uprising but because he is accusing Zuleik of killing his mate.That’s what he meant.“But I thought that he erased his memories with that woman? Does it mean that his heart never forgot her?”I sat on the bed and sighed. I am envious of his mate. To be able to receive a love as lasting as that would have been really nice.“But I should not be feeling this!” I reminded myself indignantly. “I am here to kill him because he massacred my people!”I reached inside my pocket and touched the vial of poison. I only came here for this and nothing but this. I should not be curious about these familiar places and people and feelings.“Right,” I murmured. “I should set my mind on my goal
ARIAThe treatment is done and the alpha prince has long been deeply sleeping in his bed but I am still on his side gripping his hand that won’t let go of mine too.The way he breathed is like someone that is so at peace with the surroundings that he did not have to always be on guard.“I will know why you are making me feel this way, alpha prince,” I whispered as I stared into his closed eyes and slightly parted lips.“I will know why I don’t have the urge to kill you despite what you did to my village. You did the most horrible thing and yet all I am feeling now is longing.”And what exactly this longing meant to me is what boggled me. I am a lycan while the alpha prince is a werewolf. Our clans are mortal enemies so there is no way that we are acquaintances before.“Are we friends? Are we lovers that have only forgotten each other?” I joked and tried to laugh but my smile soon disappeared when I felt a pang in my heart.But why does it feel like it’s quite true?I shook my head whi
ARIA“Alana… why do I feel like I have heard that name before?” I continued asking while still rooted on my position racking my brain about that woman.I slowly turned towards the lady who’s still shouting at her attendants and stared at her.I don’t like her face. It’s not that there’s some physical deformity or what but it’s the vibe that I am smelling from her.The alpha prince’s wife is someone that I could dislike at my first glance. I never knew I could hate someone this much when I saw her.Sophia kicked her servant on the face again. “Alana is dead and Georgia divorced William! Now, I have all the alpha prince all to myself and I will not let anyone, let alone a prostitute take him away from me!”I clenched my hands and stopped the urge to slam a punch right into her face. It felt like this annoyance I am feeling towards her is automatic as if she had done something horrendous to me in the past.“Get out of my face, you idiot! Maybe it would be better if you were dead too, just
ARIA“This would be your room, lady.”The attendant of the alpha prince said after she opened the biggest room I have ever seen and motioned me to get inside.After entrusting me to the lady, the alpha prince left with Lucas in a hurry after they received the call.I can still hear the panic in their voices when they hear about it.“I would not be staying with the alpha princes’ room?”The lady’s mouth literally fell open hearing that as she shook her head repeatedly. “No, Ms. Aria. That would not be plausible since the alpha prince is already married.”I straightened my back and met her condescending eyes. “I know but still he brought me here to the palace. I know what’s happening between the couple. Their relationship is already on the rocks now. I will be the one to make the alpha prince happy which is something that his current wife cannot make him.”The attendant can only blink her eyes at my audacity to say that. “Just a word of advice, Aria. The wife of the alpha prince is a ve
Alana“Hey monster! Catch!”I opened my hand in an instinct to try to catch the mongrels and scraps of food thrown by Sophia from the hole in my prison in the basement. It was a half-bitten stale bread with molds all over it but instead of throwing it back away, my mouth began watering and I devoured the bread like a hungry beast that I am. It’s my first meal for the weak. They only gave me half a glass of water for the whole day and that was only yesterday. Now, I have nothing but a growling stomach and since this morning, I’ve been throwing up acid because I haven’t eaten for days. “Yuck! She really ate it!” Sophia laughed loud and invited her friends to take a peek at my sorry state below. Sophia is my step-sister, a daughter from the marriage my father had with a young single mother when my mother died after giving birth to me. “Didn’t she know it was my dog food? Hey Alana monster! You are just like a mutt! A mutt!”All of them laughed in chorus but I was too hungry to mind i...
