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
ARIA“Please remember it. Please!”I tossed in my bed when that dream visited me again. I know I am already awake but cannot open my eyes because I want to see the faces of the two people who were chasing after me.“Please, remember it! please!”And then I opened my eyes, gasping for air when I felt like someone had pushed me down the valley.Sitting on the bed, I wiped off the sweat in my head and sighed.My plan is a wreck again. I did not get to see their faces again.“What’s wrong, Aria? Is it the dreams again?”I looked up at my attendant in my room who quickly handed me a glass of water.Gulping it all down, I nodded afterwards and stared out of the window where the lights from the other houses of the pack started to come to life. For us, lycans, our days can start as early as midnight.“Yes, Lola. It seemed like they were coming to me more frequently this time.”I stood up to open the windows and raised my head to the full moon above the sky.The dreams came in fragments months
WILLIAMJust as I expected, after the scene I made in the village of Roan, my father, alpha king, called for me.For the past years, it has always been like this. My father would try to give me the hardest tasks in the palace to try to tame my barbaric ways but I always overcome the jobs easily and I come home victoriously.“I heard that you terrorized the villagers again, William,” he said in a cold tone while in his throne in the hall. “What is it this time, William? How did this come into this?!”“I did not,” I said, shrugging while being uncomfortable in front of his gaze. Or is it the place? Every time I come into the hall, the hair in my nape always stands up. “If you still insist, then you could call for that person who reported me so he could tell me about that face to face. Or was it a she? I don’t know. That doesn’t matter, right?”The alpha king clenched his jaws and breathed out a sigh harshly and motioned for my mother by his side to deal with me.The queen luna rose up f
ARIAEven when I am kilometers away from the village, I knew something was amiss. Something is just not right and I soon realized that my instincts were right when I smelled the flesh burning.My heart skipped a beat as I ran faster to my home. The burnt flesh drowned my nostrils as a small smoke coming from the houses became visible in my eyes.“No…” I reached the village in a few minutes and I could only do nothing but stare at it in utter shock.The bags of plastic fell off from my hands while my tears streamed down my face.I just went to the market in Roan to buy our supplies and this is what I’ll be coming home to? Our village was practically on ashes now and our people… our people were murdered and burned!“Aria! Aria!” Lola called my name while wailing on the corner mourning her own brothers that were burned, holding the hot skulls in her hands.I went up to her and cupped her face. “Who did this, Lola?! Tell me!”“The alpha prince and his guards! They killed all the adult men
ARIAI gasped silently when I finally looked in his eyes. Even without the lights on, I could see embers flying through me from his gaze and for a split of a second, I wanted to run away from here when my knees trembled.The aura of the alpha prince is unlike anything that I have ever sensed before. And what puzzled me the most is I am not at all scared of him. In fact, I felt like I wanted to touch him to ease this longing that I didn’t know I could feel for someone other than my own mate.“Come here,” he drawled, his eyes roaming around my body that is barely covered by the silk dress.I moved one step at the bed and stopped right in front of him with my face burning with shame.“Interesting,” he whispered as he stared at me. “Now, show me what you’ve got. Take your clothes off.”I jerked when he said that and clenched my hands as tears began to drench my eyes.Aria, you have to do this! For the sake of your pack! You have to do this to get justice! Still with shaking hands, I pull
ARIAWhen the alpha prince left the brothel, I was immediately put to work by Stella. Since she cannot make profits on me because I cannot take up new customers, I need to do some errands and complete jobs for her.“Keep on brushing those carts Aurora,” Selene, the current biggest money-maker in the house, mocked me while I was in the back of the kitchen doing everything to brush away the stain on carts.“I guess you will forever stay here in the kitchen for the rest of your life. Do you really think that the cruel alpha prince would come back for a prostitute like you?” She laughed and jabbed a finger on my head. “I don’t know who raised you, but they sure know how to put some fairy tales in your head. A lowly woman like you won’t have any chance with the alpha prince. Wake up, Aurora. He won’t come back for you. you are just delusional to stay here.”I stopped washing the carts and glared at her. I have so much mission on me more than dealing with this diva being threatened by me.“
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
