ARIAIt’s been weeks since the alpha prince ordered me to be kept in the brothel but not even his shadow of him showed up.Cleaning the place and cooking for the customers do not pay my bills anymore that are starting to pile up since I am still staying at the VIP room of the alpha prince. I asked Stella if I should move out but she did not agree saying that she will be punished by the alpha prince if she did that.When another week passed without the alpha prince coming for me, that’s when the reality of what Selene weighed on me.Maybe she’s right. I should not have believed the alpha prince after all. I am just a prostitute in his eyes while he’s got everything in this world. If I want to kill him, then I should not let myself be swooned by him.“Aria, prepare yourself now and entertain the customer in room 303,” Stella ordered me the second she barged into the room.I immediately stood up with a hopeful smile on my face. “Is it the alpha prince? Is he back to get me now?”Stella j
ARIAWe passed on mini forests, rivers, lakes, and even big houses before the massive palace of the alpha king came into our sight.My heart skipped a beat when I saw the modern castle. Just like the alpha prince and Lucas, it also felt too familiar to me as if I lived there for years.Lucas stopped at the back door and a guard put a robe on his body as he shifted back into his human form.“You are not supposed to be seen by anyone inside so you have to wear this,” he said and put a veil around my head. “The alpha prince specifically wanted you all for himself,” he said as if that is against what he’s currently feeling.“And I would do the same too if I have someone like you as my pastime.”I did not like what he said so I slapped his hand away from touching my face any further and arched my brows at him even though I know he will not see it anyway because of the veil.“It’s okay to be a woman and be someone’s pastime rather be a man and sulk why no woman wants him. I heard you don’t
ARIAI pulled back my hand from his touch when I felt like I had been licked by fire. What is that? Why do I feel so intense while under his gaze and touch?I just fell to my knees before him and bowed my head. “You are the alpha prince. You can do anything you want with me.”I gritted my teeth when I said that not because I am disgusted by the thought of it but I am more intrigued and in awe that I am actively looking forward to what he’s going to do with me.That is a gross thing to cross my mind given that I already have a mate who wants to get me back and marry me.“Stand up,” he commanded me.I did and met his eyes in the process. There was an obvious hunger in his eyes as he looked at me that I forgot for a second that I am wearing the same dress that I wore last night to ‘entertain’ him.“You already have a mate so I know that you already have an experience on how to pleasure a man.” He flicked the strap of my dress and it fell through my shoulder down to my arm exposing a part
SOPHIA“Open the door for me and tell my husband that his wife has prepared breakfast for him,” I ordered the guards at William’s door.“I’m sorry, Ms. Sophia, but the alpha prince is not here.”“My mood immediately turned sour when I heard that. “Why? Where is he? I thought he would stay here in the palace to take care of that crippled woman?”I faced the guard squarely to intimidate him to tell me the alpha prince’s whereabouts. “Tell me where my husband is right now!”“Unfortunately, I cannot do that, Ms. Sophia. The alpha prince commanded us not to share his location.”I growled at him but he doesn’t seem to get fazed by it. “I am the wife of the alpha prince! I am his luna so when I tell you where my husband is, you will tell me! You understand me?!”But he just looked ahead and did not answer me anymore. To my annoyance, I reached for a glass of drink from the tray that my attendant is carrying and splashed it all across his face.“I am the next queen luna of the state and the w
ARIA“This would be your room, lady.”The attendant of the alpha prince said after she opened the biggest room I have ever seen and motioned me to get inside.After entrusting me to the lady, the alpha prince left with Lucas in a hurry after they received the call.I can still hear the panic in their voices when they hear about it.“I would not be staying with the alpha princes’ room?”The lady’s mouth literally fell open hearing that as she shook her head repeatedly. “No, Ms. Aria. That would not be plausible since the alpha prince is already married.”I straightened my back and met her condescending eyes. “I know but still he brought me here to the palace. I know what’s happening between the couple. Their relationship is already on the rocks now. I will be the one to make the alpha prince happy which is something that his current wife cannot make him.”The attendant can only blink her eyes at my audacity to say that. “Just a word of advice, Aria. The wife of the alpha prince is a ve
Alana“Hey monster! Catch!”I opened my hand in an instinct to try to catch the mongrels and scraps of food thrown by Sophia from the hole in my prison in the basement. It was a half-bitten stale bread with molds all over it but instead of throwing it back away, my mouth began watering and I devoured the bread like a hungry beast that I am. It’s my first meal for the weak. They only gave me half a glass of water for the whole day and that was only yesterday. Now, I have nothing but a growling stomach and since this morning, I’ve been throwing up acid because I haven’t eaten for days. “Yuck! She really ate it!” Sophia laughed loud and invited her friends to take a peek at my sorry state below. Sophia is my step-sister, a daughter from the marriage my father had with a young single mother when my mother died after giving birth to me. “Didn’t she know it was my dog food? Hey Alana monster! You are just like a mutt! A mutt!”All of them laughed in chorus but I was too hungry to mind i
Chapter 2William“Alpha Prince, your presence is highly requested in the hall of banquet. The food is ready and so are the girls they lined up for you to see tonight.”Lucas, my personal guard and the son of our pack’s omega said after knocking on the door of the lavish room the alpha of the small knitted pack of the BrookeFields pack provided me. This pack is under my father and the alpha king’s domain that I need to visit as he instructs me to. It’s part of the training, he told me but I know the real reason deep down. I did not respond and just puffed out the smoke of my cigar while looking out at the view from my window. I don’t know but I felt queasy in my stomach the moment I stepped onto the land of this pack. “I told you I do not want any of this shit, Lucas! I can find my own mate! No need for these alphas and betas to offer me their wives and daughters.”This is the real reason my father wants me to visit as many places as possible because he wants me to settle down as ea
Alana“No, please! Leave me alone!” I cried when I woke up in the middle of the night and saw my father’s guards putting chains on my ankles and wrists. “What are you doing?! Please, stop! It hurts! It hurts!” But no matter how hard I begged them to stop, no one was listening to me. It’s always been like this. I am like their toy, not that I have one to play with but Sophia mentioned to me about it and I exactly felt the same. “Shut up, will you!” My stepmother hissed, revealing herself from the dark covering her nose to prevent the shitty smell that I have from reaching her. “You need to be bound to the chains before you run wild and disrupt the banquet for the alpha prince.”My tears fell. How can she even think about that when I am already locked in here? I hate the chains. Their cold temperature gives me rashes and that feeling of more loneliness. I remembered that my father used to put chains around my neck to prevent me from eating and swallowing. “But I am not going anywhere

WILLIAMThere is something about her that I can’t put a name unto. There is something about that woman that I cannot forget her eyes and her sweet holy voice.It felt like I have been talking with her for the whole of my lifetime. It felt like I knew her but I am certain as the moon above us that it’s the first time I saw her. A striking face like that is something that I cannot forget.And I didn’t get to have her name. I sighed and tickled my tongue against the roof of my mouth.“No worries, I will surely go back to her.”Lucas looked at me inside the car, his face wondering what the hell I am saying. “Did you say something, alpha prince?”I grimaced at the sound of his voice and opened the window of the car to breathe some air. I remembered being so attached to Lucas before but I guess something went wrong along the way because I sometimes had the urge to pierce his face or his chest when he was sleeping.That is morbid and uncalled for but I really don’t like him at all. I am just
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.“
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
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
