ALANA

“Yes, that’s right, Alana. Excellent! That is how you do it!”

I smiled and made my last turn before the queen luna and took a final pose.

“Perfect!” She clapped her hands for me and stood up from her seat in the room where I performed ballet for her.

I heard from William that the queen luna loves to dance before she injured her feet in a battle. I don’t want to argue that I did it out of just mere curiosity because I deliberately learned it to impress her.

“Thank you, queen luna,” I said, smiling from ear to ear.

Even though William kept me in the dark from them, I have never felt being treated negatively by her. Sometimes, I felt like she has this affinity for me because I am his son’s mate.

“You must really be a fast learner to learn that routine that fast! Oh, your coda reminds me so much of when I am still dancing in the past.” She smiled and caressed my face. “Actually, I have been praying to the moon goddess all these years for William to find her mate so I could finally h

    WILLIAM“Alpha prince!” Minerva stood up from her seat the second I entered the room hurriedly.I have to travel for hours just to come to the hospital where Alpha Killian is being treated to warn him to just shut his tongue-less mouth up.“What are you doing here, alpha prince? Is my daughter with you? Are you two getting along well?” Minerva asked in a joyful tone. “Is she doing fine, alpha prince? Can I ask where she is?”I threw her a cold look before saying, “Leave. I have to talk to your husband alone.”She blinked, embarrassment all over her face before nodding. “Yes, alpha prince.”I took the chair next to the pretending alpha and clasped my hands together. “I know you can hear me. This is the final warning to you, Alpha Killian. Stop whatever you are planning if you still want to live. Do not tell anyone about Alana if you still want your wife and daughter to live.”He snapped his eyes open and clenched his jaws. I know he wants to say something but he can’t speak anymore.“I

    ALANAWe were all gathered around the bed of the queen luna where she is weakly laying down with the alpha king tightly holding her hand.When we arrived in the room, Georgia and Sophia were already there before us. Francine and Lucas also came with us.“Father, what happened to queen luna?” William sat down next to her mother and took her other hand. “Why does she fall ill suddenly?”“She was poisoned by wolfsbane,” the alpha king answered in gritting teeth. “The queen luna was poisoned by one of the people who have met with her this week!”All gasped in unison when we heard that. How could someone in the close circle of the queen luna do this to her? How can any of us here do that to her?The alpha king looked at each one of us intently. “I have a challenge for each one of you. The one who poisoned the queen luna must be here. I will give you one week to come out or any of you here can make him or her come out. If you fail my task, then everyone here in the room will get punished in

    ALANA“William…” I whispered in disbelief.He is willing to take all the blame for me? My heart bled at the thought. He is willing to embrace being hated by his parents and the whole of the state just for me?The thought brought me dread even more.“No…” I shook my head wildly and stood up away from him. “I can never allow that to happen! You will be branded a traitor by your own father and will likely be banished to live as a rogue wolf! William, I can never allow that to happen!”He smiled at me and shrugged off his shoulders. “It’s okay. I could live as a rogue wolf for my entire life. I think I would love being one.”I gasped at him. Why is he lying to himself and me? Why is he doing this just to make me feel okay?“William, are you hearing yourself? How can I allow that to happen when I am the one who ruined you? If you did not find me in the basement, then you will still live your life by now. You will not be embroiled in this mess. Have you thought that ever since I came into y

    ALANAAfter my conversation with William, I went to the queen luna’s quarters to check up on her condition but I was not allowed to get near her. All of the suspects in the poisoning are not allowed to so I just looked at her from the glass in her door.“I hope you’re going to be fine, queen luna. I hope you will wake up the soonest,” I whispered while gazing at her pale face.She is a very kind person. I thought she would not like me as the mate of her son because I am an ignorant lady but she looked past that and even taught me ger favorite ballet move.I saw and experienced her mother that I did not have.I sighed before turning my back just for me to freeze right in front of a pair of cold eyes of the alpha king.“Alpha king,” I greeted and bowed my head before him.“What are you doing here?” he asked in a monotone voice. “You should be out there searching for the culprit.”I nodded and clasped my trembling hands together. His presence is just too overwhelming for me. “I just took

    ALANA“That is not true!” William snarled at Sophia. “You are just lying! You are trying to frame and implicate Alana right from the very start!”Sophia shook her head and appealed before the alpha prince. “Alpha prince, I am not lying! That is what my investigation said! Even though I am saddened to know that my sister can do that to the mother of her own mate, the investigation bore the truth and I cannot dare to tamper with it.”“Alana cannot do that. The queen luna is her instructor. She cannot do such things!” he continued to defend me but the alpha king shot him a look.“William, enough.”“But, alpha king!”He dismissed him by waving his hand. “Let’s hear what she’s going to say first. Tell me the details, Sophia.”And my sister gladly continued to pin me down more. “As you wish, alpha king. I believe Alana has the motive to kill the queen luna out of everyone here. Even though she is the alpha prince’s mate, her identity and ignorance are mismatched to the reputation of the alp

    ALANAWilliam’s grip of my hand tightened with warm confidence.“It’s not like I am deflecting the questions, father. I just want to protect Alana at all costs from people who are going to use her for her weaknesses.”He threw me a smile and shrugged off. “Whether this is a test or not, I know that Alana has a pure heart and she can never hurt my dear mother.”I returned the smile shyly as my cheeks blushed. William never failed to make me feel seen and assured.“Alpha king, that was just a test? For real?!” Sophia exclaimed in disbelief. “But I swear that we really found wolfsbane in Alana’s room! Are you just going to ignore that?”The alpha king looked at his wife to explain everything.“The rooms of the three of you have been purposely put wolfsbane into so you would accuse one another. The rest of the suspects were just used as decoys to prevent the three of you from knowing that it’s a test.” The queen luna gazed at me proudly. “I just did not expect Alana to be so selfless to t

    ALANA“There is no way I would let you go though those tests successfully, Alana,” Lucas said the second he came into William’s room to guard me because my mate left for an important meeting that afternoon.I was busy researching what to do to let my wolf out because the second test will be happening two days from now.“It’s not for you to decide, Lucas. I am telling you, I am going to win these tests and justify that I am his mate.” I raised my head high to look at him. “I will marry my only mate, Lucas.”He groaned and caught my arm tightly. “I am also your mate, Alana! Do not put me in the sideline as if your body does not respond to me more than it did when you are with the alpha prince.” His eyes lingered on the fading mark on my neck. “William already had you for months and now it’s time that I will have you all for myself and I will make sure to erase every bit of your memory with him.”I felt electricity run through me when Lucas put his hand on the small of my back causing me

    ALANAThe day of the second test arrived but I still don’t know how to shapeshift into my wolf.I don’t how I am going by with the reproductive tests now but I am still coming because William believed in me. Somehow, I felt like I would still find a way to do it.The venue is in the woods. Francine and Lucas are with me while Sophia and Georgia’s maids were with them as we looked on at the queen luna surrounded by werewolf guards already in their wolf selves.Francine also told me that the whole forests are being roamed by guards to ensure our safety as there are probably rogue wolves lurking around ready to strike us.There are tents and tables set up for the doctors that would examine our blood.“The test today would be the simplest out of the tests that I am planning to conduct. It is to know who’s the most likely to be the most productive out of the three of you to easily give my son, the alpha prince, sons and daughters.”The queen luna looked up at the full moon above us and ope

    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

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

  • The Alpha Prince's Abused Mate    Howl of Death

    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
