ALANAJust as William promised, he brought me to the dormitory himself before night fell but I did not let him come in because the guards were at the entrance ready to stop him.As much as possible, I would not like to see any scuffle involving William now that we are down to the series of last tests to have the right to call myself his future wife and luna.“I’ll wait for you in the cabin tomorrow,” he whispered in my ear in high spirits, the smile in his face stretching from his mouth to his ears.I giggled as my cheeks burned remembering how he took me over and over again without caring how others might hear us from outside his room.We stopped by a few meters from the dormitory while we were both tightly clasping each other’s hands.“Please, take care of your health for me, okay?” I asked him dearly. “Prioritize yourself. Don’t always worry about me because I am a strong person now, William. You made me strong enough to face all these.”He kissed my head and nodded at me. “I promi
ALANAGetting up with my body shaking all over, I ran to the bathroom and looked for anything to cover up the mark on my neck.I found my make-up that I used to put on my neck before to hide William’s mark. I never thought that I would get to do the same thing again in a very different situation but this time, I really want to hide this hideous mark on my neck.“It’s okay, Alana,” I said to myself while my tears were falling as I’m trying my hardest to steady my fingers. “He still hasn’t fully claimed you. You did not transform in front of him so he cannot really say that I am his mate.”The powder fell out from my hand as I slowly sank into the floor with my hands on my face, crying my heart out.“How can he be my mate when I don’t want him at all? Moon goddess, William is my only mate. He is the only person I love! He is the only man that I would ever love forever!”“Ms. Alana.” A knock stirred me out from the turmoil of my emotions. “We really have to go. The test is starting and t
ALANA“I am done!” Georgia shouted and ran to the doctor carrying a petri dish in her hand. “This is the blood of the alpha prince.”The doctor inspected it and nodded. “Passed!”Georgia smiled widely and turned to me with a mocking smile on her face. “It’s so easy. I don’t know why the mate of the alpha prince is having a hard time. Does it mean that she’s really incompatible with the alpha prince?” she said before running to the other station.I just did not pay attention to her because I am too drawn into the fact that all I am smelling in these dishes is Lucas’ blood.“I am done!” Sophia shouted by my side.“Passed!” the announcer declared as my sweat broke out from my forehead because I still cannot pinpoint the basin that holds William’s blood.I feel so useless feeling this way because why the hell I cannot recognize my own mate’s blood? Despite the medicine, I should have at least sensed it because William and I are always together.I should have at least developed some sense
ALANAIt felt like all the blood in my body had been drained when I saw him staring back at me.Did he see how my body is rejecting his blood and scent? Did he see how difficult it was for me to drink his blood even when he knows that I am his mate?But he also knows your real identity, Alana. He knows that you are from the clan of his enemy and this is fate's way of saying that you will never be together, the small voice in my head said, rendering me helpless for the next seconds.He looked into my eyes pleadingly and shook his head at me. “Please stop it now,” I read his mouth. “I don’t want to see you suffering anymore.”I shook my head too in reply and took the vial in my shaking hands while not cutting off our gaze. No, I will never surrender. I will win this contest no matter what!In a heartbeat, I opened my mouth and drank the blood in the vial feeling the liquid scalding my throat.“Alana, no!” William screamed from the tower and jumped down towards me but the guards were qui
ALANAThe next thing I saw when I woke up was the purple color of the ceiling. I sat down on the bed and looked around the place. I am back in the dormitory and my whole body is aching all over.“Alana!” William called for my name and I immediately looked to the side of the room where he was standing, scrambling to get to me.“William…” I muttered and smiled in relief when I realized that it was all just a dream.I knew it. That was really just a bad dream!“William!” Just when I was about to jump in and hug him, I blinked and saw the real face of the person and I immediately stepped back into the bed.His scent does not belong to William.It was not William all along. It was Lucas. I was just imagining that it was the alpha prince.Lucas smiled as he walked towards me but I kept on stepping back, my tears already streaming down. I can no longer sense William in me even in the faintest thing.“Alana, I am glad you are awake now.” He held out his hand towards me. “Come on. We have to l
ALANA“Father, I am begging you! Please, let me be with Alana. I don’t care if I rejected her and she is no longer my mate!” He fell to his knees in front of his father and begged earnestly. “Please, let us go now. We will leave the palace and the whole state if you want to. We will live as rogue wolves. We will survive! Please, just give us your permission.”William does not look like the most composed and royal alpha prince that I know of. His whole body is drenched with blood and dirt, his clothes are torn at some parts, and the skin on his arms and legs are exposed with cuts on them.“This is just a momentary thing, William!” the alpha king exclaimed from his throne while being surrounded by alphas on his back. “Alana is just one of the many women that will come into your life. If you really want to marry a mate, then you can wait for the second mate to be given to you by the moon goddess!”“I refuse to accept any mate other than, Alana, father!”“Then you should have not rejected
TRIGGER WARNING!!! SUICIDE! DO NOT PROCEED IF YOU ARE TRIGGERED BY THIS CONTENT.ALANA“Let me through! Please, let me through!”I waded against the soldiers despite them restraining me from entering the palace but I was too persistent that I did not care even if they used their weapon on me.I was able to run past one of them and enter the grounds but an incoming soldier swept me off my feet and threw me back to the ground, literally breaking my bones.But nothing can keep me from seeing William. He is not dead! I believe once he sees me, he will wake up. He’s just sleeping and he will wake up in a few days just like what happened before. There is no way that he would be dead.I don’t care if he rejected me already. I don’t care about that stupid thing anymore. What matters is that I love William with all the heart in me.“I want to see him! William!” I called for his name desperately and crawled my way into them begging for them to let me in. “Please, let me see him! Please!”“Ms. A
WILLIAMA few years later…“The alpha prince is here! I said the alpha prince is here!”“Quick! We have to greet him!”“Evacuate the main street and do not look him in the eyes!”People scrambled across the streets in the middle of the entertainment district as they lined up on the sides of the establishments and greeted me with a bow.With my head held up high and a bottle of whiskey in my hand, I walked as slowly as possible and drank from the bottle from time to time.I am already way past my alcohol limit and my body is craving for rest already after successfully killing a few lycan from the north that tried to stir the peace.“How could a person like him change overnight?”“This is not the alpha prince that I admired so much.”“It must be because of his failed weddings. Rumors have it that the alpha prince changed so much after the marriages with Sophia and Georgia did not work.”“Poor alpha prince. There must be really something wrong with him.”Voices around me started irritati
ALANAI stared at the tiny notebook in my head with trepidation.I am holding the key to the truth about my identity. Here, in these small pieces of my paper lies the secrets to my past.Putting the photo of my parents back into my pockets and breathing hard, I opened the notebook and read the first words written by blood on the first page.The scent of an old-age blood similar to mine flared into my nostrils and made my hair stand up. I looked at the alpha king who turned his back on me to give me privacy as I continued reading the words.“If you are reading this right now, then you must be from my blood, from the cursed blood that should not have existed in this world.”I paused and gasped hard when I felt that old feeling again-that feeling of abandonment and being unwanted.Even though he did not meet me, even though he was not able to see my face, he already rejected me. Just like everyone who knew me in this world except William, they do not want me to be alive. Everybody is jus
ALANAI glanced at the queen luna who gently nudged me to the direction of the alpha king outside the hall.“Go, Alana. He will tell you everything you need to know.”She gripped my hands and tried very hard to keep the tears from falling but they still came out like a dam cascading down her face.“My son loves you very much, dear.” Her voice started trembling. “Until the end of his breath, he still chose to protect you.”She touched my face before sadly smiling. “I’m sorry because I was too weak and complacent. I was not able to protect you and my son. I let my husband, the alpha king, do what he thinks is right and just. I am a worthless mother. I do not deserve to be William’s mother.”I held her hands and shook my head. “Queen luna, do not say that. William is very proud to have you and the alpha king as his parents. He always talks about you with me. He said you will be a wonderful mother to our kids.”My voice croaked knowing that that will never happen again. I will for sure sp
ALANA“Alana, please!” Sophia was able to cling into my feet when the guards dragged her away through the chains. “If you still have conscience in you, can I appeal to it? Please, do not take my mother from me! I will not live away from her! I will not survive without my mother! Alana, do you really want me dead? Do you really hate me that much?”Without thinking for another second, I nodded convincingly. “Yes, Sophia. I hate you so much. I don’t really know why you are still asking me this when it’s evident from the very start that I hate you! I hate you for what you did to me and to William!”I glanced at Minerva who’s just staring at the floor with her eyes empty. I guess she could not believe that this was happening to them. Their downfall is here and she could not do anything about it.“I hate you and your fucking mother that I will forever curse your name until the end!”I can’t help but shed tears again knowing the dead cold body of my alpha prince is just in the other room in
ALANAI swallowed the lump in my throat when I realized what the alpha king was trying to tell.“Alana, you decide what you want to happen to him. We lost our son. The palace lost the next alpha king and that is our fault.”The alpha king took a long breath before staring hard at me. “Even before William told me, I already knew you were his mate and I knew your ancestry even before but you and my son could not happen. You and him should be spared from the pain of being with each other. It is not fair that you will both suffer from the sins of the past.”The queen luna caressed my back when my tears began falling. I had a hunch on it before but I did not let it dwell in my head because how can the alpha king let the grandchild of his enemy roam freely in the palace whilst not killing her?“And so, I decided based on what should be done but I failed to see the part where you both will fight for your love until the end.”The alpha king’s eyes began to turn red because of tears but he did
ALANAI blinked as my eyes widened in realization.“Francine!”I covered my mouth with my hands in surprise when I surveyed her body.I just really want to make sure that all I’m seeing right now is real.“You can move now and you can speak now…”I hugged her so hard in happiness. Somehow, it filled my heart with joy to the brim amidst what I’m experiencing now.With her being alive, I felt like I found someone to lean on and connect in these times.“Francine, you are back to your old self! How did it happen? Thank goodness!”Caressing my face, she smiled at me, reaching her eyes.“But not for too long, Alana. Not for too long.”My smile disappeared and my grip on her hands tightened.Is she going to leave me too? Is that what she meant by her words?“What are you saying?” I asked, panicking.I don’t think I would ever move on from William’s death. I don’t think I would ever afford to see another one of my most treasured people leave me.“H-Have you heard about what happened to W-Will
ALANACold and out of life, William remained in my arms for as long as I can remember. I just stared at his pale face emptily feeling nothing of his aura anymore.I did not let anyone near him. I would growl and snarl at every individual who might attempt to take him away from me.“I love you, William. I always will.”I watched as his life slipped away from him, taking all of my will to live too.Gathering up all that was left of me, I stood up and locked eyes with Zuleik’s dead face.“This is all your fault...” I whispered when I picked up the silver on the ground and ran towards his dead body.“This is all your fault!” I began stabbing his body using the silver, not caring if I am butchering him like a pig. “Because of you, William is dead! Because of what you did, I cannot hear his voice anymore! Because of you, we cannot make our promises for each other anymore!”The whole crowd stopped just to watch me kill Zuleik over and over again. I don’t care if I am literally butchering his
ALANAMy world literally stopped and time was frozen in my head. The only thing that registered to me is the cold body of William in my arms as I cried like crazy begging him to stay.“William, no… please no!”I saw how hard he started blinking hard to keep his eyes wide open so he could look at me.I gripped his hands as my tears began blinding me. I wanted to burst into more tears when I felt his hands in mine getting colder than ever.“William, you cannot give up now, okay? You are right. They are here now. The alpha king and queen luna defeated their enemies. You are right when you told Lucas that they are so strong together.”From a close distance, the werewolf soldiers are starting to overwhelm the remaining lycans. Headed by the alpha king and queen luna who are both in their magnificent white wolf forms, they quickly finished the enemies.I caught my breath when my heart began to tighten opposite of William’s essence that is already starting to be whisked away by the air. “Can
WILLIAMWe are beyond exhausted but knowing that we are fighting side by side brought so much hope to me.Shifting together never has been this fun. Killing together the enemies was never this justifiable.“Let me handle the back ones. Go attack the center lines!” she yelled at my back and I could only nod before shifting back into my wolf.I am the alpha prince who oversees attacks and war plans but being commanded by Alana felt so satisfyingly good.I just love it when she shows her alpha side to me.Just as she ordered me, I targeted the first line of defenses while she took care of the back ones of the never-ending supply of enemies.I am trying to get to Lucas who has that whistle in his neck that is used to control the lycans. If only I could get past these lycans and get to that fucking beta but their overwhelming number is making it hard for me to do so.Breaking their faces, biting their necks, throwing them at the ground, and killing them with my claws as I savagely growled
ALANAMy eyes connected with William and I smiled at him to assure him that I am fine. I got the attention of both the lycans and the werewolves which I really want to have to pass on a message.They may think that I am just pranking them but I trust that they know their history. Once I show them how I really look, they will listen to what I have to say.I gulped when I looked at William again. I trust that he will be there to calm me when I could not control myself anymore.Growling, I scratched the ground ready to get lost in the chaos. I just really hope that I could still recognize people although I know my wolf will always know it’s William.“Alana! No!” William shouted in worry as he jumped unto me and clasped my face gasping for air. “Do not transform! Not yet!”The second his hand landed on my skin, I instantly felt the trembling of his flesh.“Why? What’s wrong, William?”I was too confused because it’s the first time that I saw him react like this.He pointed at the horizons
