Alana

I stirred in my sleep when I felt someone was staring at me. I am even in awe of having such a good night’s sleep. It happened for the first time because I felt safe and secure for the first time too. And the soft bed. It just feels so heavenly.

I opened my eyes and the first thing that I noticed was the pair of gray eyes that were widely staring at me, almost in a state of shock as he held my face.

“Is this really you, our grace?” he asked in the softest tone that I heard someone use on me.

I jumped out of my place and hugged the pillow and immediately backtracked away from him not because I am scared but because of the strange feeling he’s rousing inside me.

How could the eyes of this stranger speak so many emotions to me all at once?

“I’m sorry,” he said when he mistakenly took my actions as a form of fear coming from me. “I just thought you are someone I know, someone I have been looking for.”

My eyes widened when I realized that he has been staring at me for so long. My h

  • The Alpha Prince's Abused Mate    The Promise

    WilliamMy heart is bleeding the way she said that. She is not even imposing. She is just taking a chance at asking me such a favor made out of fear of being left behind here. Leaving her here means she will go back to that damned cell of a dungeon. And her asking me to make her my slave is a pin that struck right into my heart. How can a noble first daughter of a respected luna ever ask me this pitiful thing?My hand itched to hold her but the look in her eyes when I hugged her back then stopped me from doing it again to her. I don’t want to shock her again. “I will gladly take you with me, Alana. And no, I will not make you my slave. You are far too precious for me to do that.”Her eyes beamed and I thought I saw a smile on her face. How can someone tell me she doesn’t know how to smile when she looks this happy? “Really? Then I will be your maid then? Or will you give me up to another family who will make me my slave? Either way, that’s okay with me rather than staying here.”“No

    WilliamJust as I was about to enter the hall to deliver my sentence to the alpha and his family, a man dressed in purple robe bowed down before me.“Alpha prince, I bear the message from the alpha king.”My eyes widened upon seeing a familiar face. How did a justice associate from the palace come here?“What are you doing here?” I asked in apprehension. The thought that I am going to be robbed off of the power to hand down my own judgment is killing me off. Justice being delayed for my mate is justice denied for me. “The alpha king sent me here to hand down his ruling to the case you escalated, alpha prince.”“But it is under my scope! I should be the one to judge him for his crimes! I already sent a plea to the alpha king asking him, begging him to let me have this one.”The justice looked up to me with respect. “My apologies alpha prince but I am just here to carry the alpha king’s wishes. You have a year to appeal to the ruling, alpha prince.”And then he entered the room leavin

    Alana“Where am I?” I thought in my head when I stirred in my sleep and realized that I was inside a moving vehicle.Is this what they call a car?I looked outside at the view of countless trees and wondered again where I was. That’s when I realized my position. I am comfortably sitting on a lap with a pair of strong arms keeping me from falling.I froze and immediately turned around only to see William soundly sleeping. My eyes went down to his fancy clothes that looked like one of those garments I saw the royal family wearing in a photo hanging on the mansion.“William…” I said not wanting to wake him up but I guess my voice still reached him no matter how soft I spoke.“I’m sorry for waking you up…”He pulled me gently into his chest and kissed my head to my surprise. Why is this stranger doing this to me? And why don’t I feel any tiny protest in my heart? I don’t want to even push him away from me. I want his arms around me because I feel so safe in his warmth.“Alana, from now on

    William“Is she settling alright in my room? Is she comfortable?” I asked Lucas after he fetched me in the hall of the alpha king where I talked with my father about the case of Alana.I did not tell him everything and I kept some details for myself until I found the root cause of it. I pleaded with him to retract his earlier decision about Alana’s father but he just dismissed me.Lucas nodded and walked with me on the side. “Yes, alpha prince. As far as I can see, she likes the room.”A smile broke out from my face. I can only imagine what her face looked like the moment she saw the bed and the dresser filled with all kinds of clothes and things fit for a noble lady like her.The thought warmed my heart and I can’t wait to see her sweet little face again. Being away from her for hours is making me feel so cranky and short-tempered.I want my mate to always be by my side no matter what because she is the only one who can cool my temper down.“Did she like how it was decorated?

    AlanaI immediately sprung up to my feet to open the door when I heard someone knocking. Is it William? Did he come back to see me? I haven’t seen him the whole morning and something in me is itching to see his handsome face again. I don’t have a name for this feeling but I know it felt more like a need for me to have.But when I opened the door and found a woman in her white uniform, I couldn't help but feel disappointed.It’s not William. It’s not the man I have been wanting to see first thing in the morning.“Excuse me Ms. Alana but can I ask you to please vacate the area please,” the woman said smiling from ear to ear. “We are just going to clean the alpha prince’s room. I am afraid that you are allergic to dust so we will have to ask you to come with me to the garden to get some fresh air.”That’s when I noticed a group of girls on her back with cleaning utensils in their hands.I opened the door and let them in. “I can help with the cleaning. I can do it.”Every one of them gasp

    WilliamIt was a tiring day for all of us after successfully taking back a few hectares that fell into the hands of a usurper. With a little bit of intimidation and a lot of diplomacy, we were able to secure back the land into the territory.We arrived at the castle way past dawn and on top of that, I missed the king and the queen who had an early appointment abroad for a new project they were brewing.“Is she still awake, Francine?” I asked my not-so-old nanny who has been by my side since I saw the daylight of this world.She is cursed so her face will not get old but her true age ranges play around a hundred-year-old already.She can’t help but giggle beside me. Francine is just some of the people who know about the identity of Alana. I did not reveal yet to my parents that I found my mate because I want to solve her case first. I don’t want the vultures to come at her throat while she is still adjusting to palace life.“She is not. She is in your bed waiting for you,” she uttered

    AlanaWhat a wonderful morning waking up and seeing the alpha prince’s face the first thing in the morning, I thought while staring hard at his handsome face.He ended up sleeping here in the room while earnestly promising me that he is an honorable man and that I have nothing to fear in him.“I am never scared of you, William. I feel more secure when you are around,” I answered him last night which made his face red. I thought he’s running a fever.And now, gazing at his perfectly chiseled face made me wish to wake up every morning with him as my first view. I also want to go to sleep at night with him as the last thing I can see.“You can give him the most precious possession you have to make him happy,” Francine advised me yesterday so I painted him.That was my act of giving myself to him because for me, the only thing nice and clean I could give him is my talent of painting things into reality.He moved in his sleep so I pretended like I was still asleep.“Good morning, Alana,” h

    Alana“Alana is the dearest friend I have whom I cherish the most, inspector. I know you are only after my welfare. All I am after is Alana’s welfare too. Whoever reported this to you need not to be worried because I can assure everyone that she cannot harm me and will not harm me.”I nodded and forced myself to smile at the inspector. “The alpha prince is right, mister. I am only his friend that he saved from the abusive household that I came from. Please, if my presence here would harm him, then I would willingly go-”“No one’s going away,” William said and took my hand in his hand again which the inspector did not fail to see. “As I have said, she is my dear friend and her security will be my topmost priority for now. She will stay in my room and you will never tell anyone about it until I make sure that she’s safe. Can I expect you to help me in keeping her safe for me, inspector?”The man swallowed the lump in his throat having been relegated to a task that he never thought would

    ALANAThe seconds felt like forever upon hearing William ask that. I was the first one to move and grasped his face.“Are you okay? Feeling better? Do you feel anything weird with your body? Tell me, William. Please, tell me.”I did not know that I was already crying. I just realized it when William sat on the bed and wiped the tears on my face.“Tell me, Alana. Tell me what’s wrong.”I just bit my lower lip and hugged him tightly. “No, nothing is wrong, William. I…” I breathed a sigh of relief and closed my eyes to focus only on his scent even when it no longer feels the same way. “I am just really glad that you have woken up now. I thought you will be strapped in your bed again for days just like what ha-”My voice shook when I remembered that he was unconscious in his bed for days because of me. I thought that would happen again to him despite Francine assuring me that he’s fine.I felt his hand on my hair brushing it gently and kissing it with all the love in him for me.“Nothing

    ALANA“Alana, it’s time. I have to take you back to the dormitory,” Lucas said from my back while I am still holding William’s hands.He is still not waking up but the color on his face is back. I peered into the bandage in his wrists and found a big deep wound there that is still bleeding.“William needs to do that for the prayers to be more effective.” That is what Francine told me as her answer. “Do not feel any guilt, Alana. He is just doing what I know you will do in a heartbeat for him.”Yes, she is right. I would do the same thing for him but still, I can’t help but feel guilty knowing that he was hurt again because of me.“Alana…” Lucas put a hand on my shoulder to which I yanked off as quickly as possible.“Don’t touch me!” I glared at him. “You disgust me, Lucas.”He clenched his hands to control his temper from exploding.“I did not do anything to you. In fact, you are the one that is making it hard for everybody, especially William. Alana, the mark on your body indicating

    FRANCINE“William!”I was able to catch him into my arms before he completely collapsed on the floor.Unconscious, I slowly put him on the floor and began treating his wound. His hands have been tight and cannot do anything because of his parents pressuring him to stay away from his mate during the test.He can’t see or even touch his own which for every werewolf with a mate is a torture. They said they’d rather die than go through the agonizing pain of being separated.As for their case, William is more attached to the bond with Alana because werewolves coming from the clan of the current alpha king are known to be monogamous.“Alana…” William murmured in his sleep after I finished putting up a bandage on his wrist.He is hurt. He is too hurt now that even breathing right now feels like your whole chest is being burned.I carried William out from the shrine while the attendants were starting to clean the blood in the area.When I reached his room, I gently laid him down on the bed an

  • The Alpha Prince's Abused Mate    The Sacrifice

    ALANAWe arrived at the white shrine of the moon goddess in the middle of the forest where two sacrifices in the form of a cow and a goat were already there on the foot of the moon goddess’ statue. Georgia and Sophia were already done and given that their animals were half-devoured, it was a no-brainer that their ancestry is spotless and they are very much capable of being William’s wife harmoniously.“Alana, please present your sacrifice to the moon goddess,” the high priestess of the moon goddess ordered me when I just stood there unmoving, my mouth wide open looking up at the statue in awe.So, this is what she looked like in her version.“S-She looked so immaculate. She looked so beautiful,” I whispered in the air while in a trance. “This is my god. This is my goddess. This is our goddess.”And she is a fair one.“Anyone who tampers with the result will be punished by the moon goddess so make sure there is no intervention that happens,” the high priestess warned me before leading

    ALANAI paused when I felt something big stalking behind me. Flesh trembling, I slowly turned around to see the biggest gray wolf that I had ever seen in my whole life with its uncanny red eyes staring down at me.I gasped, my knees began to shake as its powerful paws started taking a step towards me. I tightened my grip on the deer on my shoulders when it smelled it.I won’t ever let it take the deer. It’s my sacrifice towards the moon goddess. William gave it to me and I would never back down without a fight at anyone that would snatch it away from me.“Back down,” I said with my voice shaking. “I said back down!”The gray wolf with its saliva dripping from its sides of the mouth just continued walking towards me until I was cornered with a tree behind me.“I said back down!” I growled as I felt the urge to let out Malaika. “Back down!” I growled again and again, my fur spurting out from my skin.The fear I once felt with this animal is now gone and I was overwhelmed with the feelin

    ALANAWe are back in the forest for the continuation of the competition. The two girls are their attendants but I only have Lucas with me who acted like he is my mate throughout our trip back in the woods.“We are on the third of the five tests that we have prepared for the three contestants vying to be the alpha prince’s wife. For this test, we will look into the lineage marking. We are on the ancestry hunt. We will look into their family origin to know if their bloodline clashes with that of the alpha prince’s.”I scratched the back of my hand with every word that came out of the mouth of the announcer beside the queen luna. The note Francine gave me from William says it all.He said the queen luna plans on looking into the family structure of each representative.I swallowed the lump in my throat and shook off the cold feeling that seeped through me.Bloodline hunting. Lineage marking.How can I tell them that I am the granddaughter of the former alpha king that the current alpha k

    WILLIAM“Alpha king, please I am begging you to retract your order. Please let Alana return to me. Please, let my mate come back to my side!”After the call, I rushed into the dormitory but my mother was there chastising me to go to my father before I would be let in the building.I knelt before my father hoping that he would listen to me but that did not happen. He just continued staring at me with his hands clasped together in his desk.“And why would I do that? If I give in to you, then I am just setting you up in a lifetime of alphas who would rise against you and would try to break you in. They do not like the fact that you are with your mate while the tests are ongoing. Whatever the results may be, they will not accept it.”I clenched my hands upon hearing his answer. “Isn’t that a normal thing, father? No leadership is perfect. Every now and then, an alpha would stand against you and that same thing would happen to me too when I become your replacement and that it’s normal. I a

    ALANAAs if on cue, Lucas appeared on the door ready to get me.“Alpha prince, I will be the one to escort Alana into her new room.”William sighed before shaking his head, surprising me. I thought he already consented to me leaving for another room. I looked at Lucas and then back to him. Did the beta’s presence change William’s mind?Is there a possibility that he knows that Lucas claims to be my mate too? I shuddered at the thought especially when I sensed that the two men seemed to be having a cold war themselves.No, it can’t be.William took my hand and put it in the big pocket of his jeans. “No, I changed my mind. My mate will stay in my room where she belongs.”“William…” I muttered and looked at his determined face.Francine stepped back with her hands in the air as if surrendering to let the two men settle this.If I let William have his way, then I am afraid that the rift between him and the alpha king would become wider. That’s what I am most wary of because I know just ho

    ALANAHand in hand, we went back to the main field where the queen luna, Sophia, Georgia, and the rest of the attendants and soldiers were waiting for us.“Alana, are you okay now?” The queen luna walked up to me and touched my face inspecting something on it. “You are still pale, Alana.”“I’m okay now, queen luna. Thank you so much for asking. I really appreciate it.”She stared at me again before sighing and walking back into her position to address all of us.“What happened to Alana is unfortunate but now that she’s back, we will announce the winner of the test.”She took a bouquet of flowers and handed it down to Sophia. “Sophia won the test successfully shifting into her wolf in a matter of seconds and coming in first place during the challenge.”Sophia excitedly received the flowers and smiled so happily. “Thank you, queen luna. That only means that I am more than capable of giving offspring to the alpha prince. Thank you for appreciating that, queen luna.”Even though I know I
