WILLIAMFrancine got caught off guard with my question and was not able to respond for a few seconds as if she did not know where to start.The worry on her face plus her eerie silence sent alarms all over my body. I’m sure Alana is in danger. The guards would have her in prison because of what happened which is not really her fault.It was mine because I kept on trying to deny her to myself. I did that to myself and Alana is the collateral damage of the worst decision I made in my entire life.Despite feeling dizzy and weak all over my body, I forced myself to get out of the bed. I need to see Alana. I need to know she’s alright.My wolf yearns for her. It needs to feel her or else I’ll be going crazy.“Please, alpha prince.” Francine instantly went to my side to assist me. “You have just woken up. It would be unwise to move this hastily.”I stared at the woman I considered to be my second mother. “Let me ask you again, Francine. Where is Alana? Is she alright? Was she back at her ho
WILLIAMI darted into the cell destroying the door in the process as I lay eyes onto the woman on the floor curled in the corner.My heart and gust twisted into an emotion that I cannot give a meaning to. It’s like a déjà vu when I saw her back in the basement at the mansion.My eyes stung as I walked up to her keeping my tears from falling, kneeling in front of her as I let my emotions wreck me. She must have been so scared. She must have been suffering too much inside now. “Alana…” She immediately opened her eyes and when she caught mine, her smile was so wide and big that it hurt me even more. How could she even smile in this situation? She’s already locked, given little to no food, but still her eyes shine when she looks at me.“William!”She threw herself to me and I accepted her embrace and inhaled her scent healing both of us from days of pain and longing.“What did they do to you?” I asked in gritted teeth when I cupped her face and saw healed cuts on her skin. “Tell me all
WILLIAM“William… oh my poor boy William…”I froze in my spot when I came face to face with my mother while going back to my room to see Alana. The party Cain organized has dispersed back into their cars leaving the palace as quickly as possible when I didn't even want them to.I guess they don’t want to eat their tomato soup for lunch when I saw how I turned Cain into a literal soup. I am not even stopping at that. I still have so many things I want to do to him.“Mom…” I muttered and hugged her so tight.She did not even mind that her white satin dress was drenched with the blood from my wound and from Cain.“Are you okay? How are you feeling?” She caressed my wounds helplessly. “My son, why does it have to come to this? Why do you have to do this to us, my son? Why do you have to disobey your father when all he wants for you is your good welfare?”I did not say anything but just wiped the tears off her eyes. I love my mother so much. I cherish her so much and would hate to see her
ALANA“Francine, is William here? I think I heard his voice outside,” I said, all dressed up after taking a shower.Francine took me to William’s room for me to change. I would not want to in the first place because I want to stop William from doing whatever he wants to do with Cain.I can see it in his eyes even without telling him what happened.Francine shook her head and smiled at me. “No, the alpha prince is still not here, Alana.”She turned her back to me. “Please eat while the soup is still hot, Alana. You lost weight there. You can now breathe a sigh of relief now because William has woken up. He is safe now.”I took a seat in front of a table full of delicious food but I cannot will myself to eat any of them. I don’t have an appetite and I will never be able to eat anything until William is right here with me.“Francine?” I called her in a low voice.She looked at me and was surprised to see me crying. Kneeling before me, she asked, “What’s wrong, Alana? Why are you crying?
ALANAI stirred in my sleep when I heard the opening and closing of the door and William’s scent filled his entire room.“William…”I ran towards him and practically threw myself to him.“Oh, my Alana. Do you miss me that much?” he said jokingly while chuckling as he cupped my butt and walked back to the bed where he lay me down.I lifted my eyes at him and couldn't help myself but kiss his lips. I wanted him to know how much I miss him and how glad I am to know that he is finally safe. I felt like words were not enough and kissing him, pouring my emotions towards it would suffice.He accepted my kiss in an equal fervor as we got lost in the heat of our bodies.“Aw,” he spoke in a low tone when I accidentally pressed a little too hard on his body.We got so drowned with our desire that I almost forgot that he just got surgery on his chest.My eyes widened as I immediately got up and checked up on him.“Gosh, I’m sorry William! I’m so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you!” I apologized pro
ALANA“You must be Alana.”I immediately jerked from spacing out in the garden and turned to my side to see an ethereal-looking woman smiling at me.“Yes?” I asked softly wondering how a beautiful woman like her is talking to me. “Who are you if I may ask?”Her smile got bigger and her eyes disappeared as she extended her hand towards me.“I heard you and the alpha prince are very close to each other. I want to be as close with him as you are to him too.”She took my hand and shook it in a very friendly way. “I am Georgia Berkeley from the pack on the south.”She looked around the palace and sighed hard. “I miss home but I am slowly trying to get accustomed to myself here. From now on, this will be my permanent home. I’ve asked around about the alpha prince and they all told me that I can ask the three people who are closest to the alpha prince about the likes and dislikes of the alpha prince to know more about him. You are one of the three alongside Lucas and Francine.”“The alpha pr
ALANAI ran towards the hall without any care of what I look like. If my instincts are right, then William is asking me to trust in him whatever happens which translates to me being there witnessing how it will happen.I crossed the huge lawn towards the hall where the great doors are already closed. Panicking because I might not make it, I doubled my speed but stumbled on the stone on the ground.“Alana!” Lucas, who came out from nowhere, readily helped me to get up and shake off the dirt on my legs.“Thank you so much, Lucas,” I said and moved away from him to continue my journey.I cannot be late to the ceremony. I have to be inside the halls now.But Lucas caught my arm to stop me. “Where are you going?”“To William. I will see him. I need to see him.”Pity registered in his eyes as he tried so hard to conceal it. “But William is not here, Alana. He left for a business meeting. He will not be back until tomorrow.”I smiled at him and slowly pulled my arm from his grip. I am thankf
ALANAWhispers and low voices hung in the air.“See? I told you already that there is something between them.”“I knew it all along. That is why the alpha prince has been protective of her from the very start.”“Who is she?”“The alpha prince rescued her from an abusive household.”“I can’t accept that the alpha prince waited for his mate for someone from a questionable background.”The last statement I heard from the crowd pierced right into my heart causing me to try to free my fingers from William but he only clasped it tighter as if he’s never letting me go again.Everyone was in a standstill waiting for the alpha king and queen luna to say something.Georgia, the supposed bride of William, is standing in the middle of the hall confused by the happenings with her mother by her side comforting her.“William, what are you doing?” I whispered in his ears when I suddenly felt small in front of the queen luna and alpha king who were staring at me.The queen luna seemed a bit surprised
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
