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
ALANAI woke up that morning with a freshly picked bouquet of flowers and a note from William saying he’s going back into patrolling the borders. With a satisfied smile on my face, I prepared myself and went to work with an infectious kind of vibe that Lucas and Francine cannot help but notice.When I arrived at the office, I called one of the maids assigned to me to inquire about Ana. I brought the girl with me when I chanced upon her selling fruits on the sidewalk.“Did you see Ana? I was told she’s here in the office already. Where is she?”There is an unmistakable concern in my face knowing that she is not used in the mansion. She must have been lost in the woods.The maid bowed before me. “I am sorry, ambassadress, but Madam Sophia called her to be in her quarters. She said she had something to make her do.”My brows arched. Sophia? Why would she specifically get the child that is under my care?“Sophia? And can you tell me what are the things she wanted an 11-year-old to do for
ALANA“Madam Sophia!” the maids screamed in horror upon seeing the face of their beloved mistress being whipped by me.“Ahhh! My face! My beautiful face!” Sophia yelled in both agony and excruciating pain. “What the fuck, Alana?!” She turned towards the maids who were still huddled to the wall in utter surprise. “What are you doing?! Run outside and call for help! This woman is going crazy already!”“Take one step forward and I will make sure to order Lucas to kill all of you,” I threatened them even though I will never do it.“But ambassadress, that is Madam Sophia, the daughter of the alpha and his luna!” the maid who was feeding Sophia earlier answered. “We cannot let their one and only heir be lashed out like this.”“Heir?” I asked sarcastically. “Do you even know who you are talking to? I am the first and legitimate daughter of the alpha! If there is going to be someone who is going to inherit the throne, it is me and not Sophia who does not even have a drop of blood from my own
SOPHIA“D-Dad! D-Daddy!” I howled and began crying again when I saw my father emerging inside the door in the hospital where I am confined.He left the post a few hundred miles from the north just to see me.His face was marred with utmost fury especially when he saw the bandages on my face and body.“Sophia!” He hugged me so tightly and kissed my head. “Hush now, my princess. Daddy is here. Do not worry anymore.”“Daddy, it’s Alana who did this to me! She whipped me hundreds of times even though I begged her to stop! Daddy, I can’t believe she can do this to me! I am her sister and I love her so much!” I told him everything.Ever since I was young, I know I can rely on him. He has been very vocal in telling me that he loves me as his real daughter so I know that he will stand by my side again just like what he always does even way before.What Alana did to me is very unacceptable but I know daddy will exact revenge against her because I am his one and only princess.“I know,” he said
WILLIAM“William…” Alana gasped and clung on to my shirt and buried her face into my chest.I put an arm around her and pulled her cold body into me.She is shaking and sweating all over proving that she has been triggered by the presence of her angry father.I clenched my jaws and calmed myself because I would really love to cut off Killian’s head right now. How dare he terrorize my mate?! How dare he do this to my Alana?!“It’s okay, Alana. I am here now.”I gently looked into her eyes and smiled, comforting her in the process. “I will take care of it now. You go with Francine, okay?”She glanced worriedly at her father and shook her head. “I can’t leave you here alone with him. He is very angry right now and he might do anything to you.”I wiped the tears off her face and assured her by just laughing it off. “He cannot do anything to me, Alana. It’s not like I will allow it. Remember who I am, okay? I am your alpha prince. I am yours.”She nodded after a while and bit her lower lip
ALANAI kept on walking back and forth inside my room worriedly waiting for William.“Francine, will William be really okay? Will he be able to handle my father?” I broke into a sob when I remembered the look my father gave him. It was the same look he always gives me before he’s going to beat me up. “You saw how the alpha is looking at him. What if he’ll do something to him? Francine, I cannot let him hurt my mate! I should go to him now!”“Our lady, please.” She was able to hold me close to prevent me from going to the door. “Get a hold of yourself. Do you think the alpha prince will let the alpha hurt him? Please, trust him, our lady. William is not made out of cotton. That kid is a tough man and I know he will win it against the alpha for you.”“I have my full trust in him but I do not trust my father. Once, he tricked me into going outside only to capture me to parade me into the village people. I am afraid that he’s going to do the same thing to William.”Francine cupped my face
ALANAA soldier guarding Sophia’s room in the mansion stopped me from opening the door when I visited her to check up on her. “Ambassadress, you can’t be here. You are not allowed to be here. The alpha and the luna specifically ordered you to keep you from approaching their daughter.”I showed him William’s badge with his blood soaked in it. “I have the blessing of the alpha prince. Do you dare to go against his wishes?”He sniffed it and when it was confirmed that it was indeed the alpha prince’s blood, he bowed before me and opened the door for me. “I am sorry, ambassadress.”“Thank you.”I entered the room to a laughing Sophia watching television and chatting with someone on her phone. Her bandages are on the floor and her whole skin is already healed from the whip marks.That doctor and healer must have cost so high for the results to be this fast that I can’t help but feel some faint scars on my arms that are still there no matter how many times William’s doctor treats me.She sa
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
