WILLIAMSophia and I are facing each other at a private dinner in a restaurant a few miles from the village. The woman is blushing all over while trying to appear as dainty and elegant as possible in front of me.But I was too shrewd to be tricked by this. I have met people like her and it always ends up in the worst way against the other.She glanced at me and wiped her mouth in a very demure manner making sure that I see how her colored nails are flicked in a way.“Alpha prince, thank you so much for inviting me to this dinner. It looks so inviting here.”I just nodded at her while thinking about Alana earlier. I think I may have overdone it a bit. I was being too needy and hurting that I pushed her away twice this day. The first one can’t be helped, but the second and third instances? There is no excuse for doing that to her. I was just being a jerk and mean to her at this point.Sophia smiled at me in a rehearsed manner. Even the way she moved her neck is a product of a behavioral
ALANA“Ambassadress, Luna Minerva wants to talk with you,” the royal guard informed me after knocking on the door.“Let her in,” I said without looking up from the stacks of papers on the table.I am trying to find a way to minimize the expenses in the mansion so we could build more schools for the children.Minerva entered the room with a big smile on her face.“Alana, my sweet little child.” She hugged me and even kissed my head. “I missed you so much.”I just sat there frozen in awkwardness. My heart is squirming in unease while she kisses me. “Take a seat. Why are you here?”My stepmother took my hand and gave me another one of those creepy smiles she had. “Alana, why are you so cold to me? Did you already forget about how I loved you then? I am sorry if you mistook my discipline for cruelty. I know you are so young then to understand that your dad and I have just a different way of showing how we love you so much.”Love? They love me? No matter how little my limited experience an
ALANAThe door of my room creaked open but I continued pretending that I was asleep. I did not panic or scream because I already knew who he was with his smell that was constricting my throat with emotion. His scent is the only thing that I want to sniff right now for sleep to set in on me but as unfortunate as it seems, I still do not want to talk to him now.My heart is still heavy with envy. I heard from Sophia that William gave her the best treatment like a princess in the restaurant. It doesn’t make sense to me since William knows how Sophia abused me.She has been bragging about that to the entire mansion and of course to me saying that the alpha prince is still mateless until now and rumors have it that he will be married to another woman this year regardless if he finds his mate or not.That woman could be her since she was one of the promised girls to the alpha prince.I wanted to tell them that he has already found his mate, that it was me all along which explains how he ca
Alana“Don’t go, please. Don’t leave me here, William.”I tightened my arms around his waist, pressing my face further into his wide back smelling his intoxicating scent.I miss him so much. I miss William. I miss my mate in every way possible.I felt his hands on top of mine as he turned around to cup my face, wiping the tears on my face.“I am only waiting for you to say that.” He leaned in and kissed my closed eyes down to my nose until he reached my lips where he planted soft kisses. Then, he rested his forehead on mine as we gasped together with how it felt good to be finally touching and kissing each other again.“Gosh, how I miss doing this with you, Alana. The weeks without seeing you and touching you like this is such a torture.”He kissed my lips again and drew me closer into his body. “Let’s not do that to each other, okay? Let’s first talk it out. I don’t want both of us to ever go through that again, okay?”My tears started falling again as I nodded. “I’m sorry,” I whispe
“Alana…” his voice is hoarse as if he is in pain especially when I squeezed his hardness lightly.“Can I? Please?” I asked again, with each second I spent my hand on top of it, the harder it became, mesmerizing me more.“Oh, Alana…” he gave in and guided me back into the bed.“Fuck!” he muttered when I stood up and knelt between his legs.I looked up at him from the floor and asked innocently, “Why are you cursing me, William?”“I’m sorry. It’s just that,” he paused and cupped my face. “You look so hot right now, Alana.”Hot? Am I burning now?Crawling closer into the gap between his thighs, I raised my hand and slowly unzipped his pants with my trembling hands.It took me minutes before I successfully zipped it down because my hands are too shaky to perform a very simple task.I also do not really know why I am doing this but I was just too curious to see him inside there. I want to touch it to see what it’s going to make of William.He traced my lips with his fingers. “Alana, you ca
ALANAWilliam groaned before he leaned in to kiss me but before his lips could touch mine, a knock interrupted us in the middle of making miracles.I pushed William away and covered my body with the blanket even though he had not even removed any of my clothes.Amused, he kissed my nose and playfully bit my ear. “My little bold mate is really shy all along,” he teased me before standing up and opening the door, not even bothering to put on a shirt.“Francine,” Drake spoke as I peeked through the covers.The woman is smiling from ear to ear when she realizes that William is in my room.“Did you know that you have come here at the worst possible time?” Drake said in a pissed tone.The woman just laughed and glanced at my direction so I immediately hid under the covers in embarrassment.“That’s my boy. And please, before you come to me, I have no idea that you are here in Alana’s room. I just knocked to check up on her and give her this glass of milk she forgot to drink earlier.”“Thank
ALANA“A what?” Francine asked with wide eyes, almost falling from her seat. “Come again, Alana? Can you repeat what you just said?”Given her reaction, I felt a bit embarrassed. With flushed cheeks, I asked her again. “Can you please teach me how to pleasure a man? I want to make William happy.”“Alana…”I took her hands with me. “Please Francine. I know this is too much to ask but I don’t think I could ever find someone as reliable as you. All I want to do is make William happy. I don’t know how to do that since I haven’t had a man in my life.”She laughed a little before taking my hands together in hers. “I don’t know if I should take it as a compliment or not but you really came to the right person.”My eyes widened in happiness. Does it mean that she’s agreeing already?She laughed upon seeing the glow on my face. Pinching my cheeks lightly, she nodded. “I will teach you everything I know, Alana. Don’t you worry.”To my happiness, I hugged her tightly. “Thank you so much, Francin
SOPHIAI watched in rage as the alpha prince and Alana passionately kissed on the blanket in the middle of the park. I wondered why the guards were securing the area so I sneaked in before they could see me. It turned out that they were guarding both of them.“Shit Alana, what did you do to be able to kiss the alpha prince like that? And why does he care for you so much?! Why does it have to be you?! I am right here in front of him but why is he only seeing you?!”I am seething both in jealousy and anger. William always rejects and doesn’t look at me twice but he always has his tended eyes on Alana.“Alana, why do you keep on taking things from me?! Your life, everything that you have, that should all be mine including the alpha prince!”I breathed heavily when William withdrew from the kiss and smiled at the woman. I should have been her! I should have been in her place, not Alana!I left crying out of the park back into the mansion where my mother found me in my room tossing and thr
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
WILLIAMI can still remember the first time that I met Lucas. It was in an orphanage. My father told me he is my cousin and beta according to our hierarchy, and that he will be there beside me as the second-in-command when I finally become the alpha king.I wondered why he was there and it was only two months later when I found out that his parents betrayed the alpha king during a battle so he was essentially a son of the traitors.As years went on, our brotherly bond grew that I forgot about it already. I love him as my own brother. I trusted him with all of my heart. I even thought of proposing to make him the alpha prince when I realized that my situation with Alana could get more complex and complicated.Despite that, why the hell am I hearing this from him?Why did he betray me this way?Why did he do that to Francine?Why did he covet someone that is mine?I scoffed and stared at him intently. I wanted to laugh hard but a grin only came out.“And why would I do that, Lucas? Why
ALANA“What are you doing?! Alana!”Sophia’s scream pierced into the bloody murderous night when she saw me approaching her with a burrow in my hand that I found in the corner in the middle of all this fighting.Her eyes widened and tears flowed down her cheeks when she realized what I was going to do.“Alana, please! No! Don’t do this to me! Help me! Free me, Alana! Please, take pity on me!”But I was too drunk with hate, too deaf to even listen to her words. I raised the burrow in the air and began plowing her hand with it.This hand who used to slap me, punch me, and pull at my hair should be punished.The first scream is pure agony while the rest sounded more of anger and loss of hope.She can’t move because of the steel slashing through her flesh. One wrong move from her and she would essentially get rid of her own legs if she tried to transform into her wolf.I never thought I could be violent like this. I never thought I could take pleasure seeing someone in pain.“Alana, stop
