NalyaI was about to walk down the aisle, crying, and no one cared. My father gave me away to Arlon William, a man thirty years my senior."Compose yourself... You're embarrassing me!" my father hissed. He cupped my face and kissed my forehead. "Dad, please, please don't make me do this," I begged, gripping his suit. He growled at me and said; "You will marry this man to help the family,""I'll work hard to help you pay off the debts. I promise. Please don't force me to marry that man," I pleaded. He wasn't listening to me anymore. I saw Arlon William grimacing and annoyed by the holdup. He was known for his bad character. Arlon was a ruthless businessman, creditor, and self-proclaimed Alpha of rogues. Unfortunately for me, my stupid father borrowed money from him and couldn't pay it back, so it was his price. He always had eyes on me growing up.My father dragged me to the aisle and threw me in Arlon's arms. His huge hands held my waist sensually. I almost threw up."We are gathered
NalyaI was throwing up on the floor just seeing his length. It disgusted me. He sickened me. Arlon pulled me up and threw me on the bed. I thought that was it. He would find out I lied about my cycle and either beat me to death or rape me violently. My heart was racing in my chest as tears welled down my face.He growled so loudly in my face, and his canines elongated. I closed my eyes as my body shook. He grabbed my wrists and pinned them over my head."Please leave me alone," I cried. My voice a whisper."Why are you so stubborn?" he was frustrated. Arlon made me face him and, with one hand, gripped my cheeks."Your father owes me, and you're my price. You will stay with me until I decide I don't need anyone. Am I clear?" he asked. When I didn't answer, he slapped me."Am I clear?" his voice was chilling and dangerous. I nodded a yes, and he got off me."Good," he patted my head like a dog."Now, give me a massage. I want to rest. That Alpha Prince was hard to deal with today, and n
Nalya I watched the man in awe. He stood over 6 feet tall and was extremely well-built. His firm, toned muscles were visible through his costume. His silky black hair was stylish, and those deep blue eyes made me feel weak in my knees.Something within me stirred, trying to force its way out with excitement. When he spoke, the room fell silent. His deep and husky voice made my belly fill with butterflies. " Please don't cause a fuss," I whispered, yet my voice was unmistakable. I would later get in trouble for this, even though Marley was bugging me and trying to force me to dance. Marley was Arlon's second in command. He made sadistic comments about me, and how he would love to fuck me. It made my skin crawl. " Why are you defending him?" he growled at me, his eyes flashing a ferocious color that made me impotent against him. I wanted to answer, but he seemed angry with me all of a sudden and released me. I whimpered from the loss of his warm contact as his arm was circled protecti
Nalya's pov When the trunk opened, my heart was pounding in my chest, and I shut my eyes, trying to tame my heartbeat. The scent of that alpha invaded my nose. I didn't know how I recognized it, but I did. It was enticing to me, and I inhaled deeply. "Is she dead?" I heard a soft feminine voice ask. "No," that voice sounded familiar. It belonged to the alpha. It was low yet dominating and oozed power, sending trembles down my spine. "How did she get in our trunk?" "Should we take her back?" My eyes immediately shot open at the mention of taking me back, and two cold blue ones were staring right at me. Despite being cold, his unwavering gaze did something funny to me, and my cheeks reddened. Had any man looked so beautiful? I thought. I watched as his chest rose and fell, my heartbeat skyrocketed once again as we watched each other intensely. " Take my hand, darling," I tore my gaze from the alpha when the female with honey-colored skin and beautiful curly hair extende
Rhaegar "I fell," she replied quietly, her look suddenly somber. 'She's lying,' "Don't lie to me," I growled. Was she defending who harmed her? Why? Were they close? I was getting angrier, yet the desire to cradle her and keep her safe in my arms was overtaking my senses. Fuck the matebond! Nalya looked scared now, and tears welled in her eyes. "Rhaegar, you're scaring her!" Ella hissed. I snapped out of my daze and inhaled. "Who did that to you?" I asked calmly. "The man I was supposed to marry held me tightly a few hours before I escaped," she said. I was boiling with anger. I needed to punch something. I gripped the side of the table so tightly, "Name," I gritted. He was part of Arlon William's rogues, and I intended to find and kill him. "I don't know his name," she answered. I glared at her and looked away, not wanting to scare her more than I'd already done. Nalya was still lying to me. My wolf almost snapped, but I held him back. "Let's not force her to talk about
Nalya"How disappointing," he said, almost turning to walk away. "Oh, can you point me to the head staff office," I said."It is on the left - you know what, you'll get lost. I'll take you there.""So you're the rogue who's been causing a buzz through the link since last night," he mused, looking at me."I don't understand," "Forget it. I'm Roman, but you can call me Roma. What's your name?" he asked. I swallowed and answered. "Nalya,""That's an uncommon name," he said.We reached Madam Royce's office, and I turned to Roma."Thank you," "You're welcome. See you around, Nalya!" I knocked on the door. I heard a faint come in and pushed the door open. "Hi, how may I help you?" The middle-aged woman asked, looking at me through her small eyes."I was sent here by Miss Juliana to work," I said politely and clearly."I don't have work for you. I have so many staff members already.""I won't be getting paid, so it's free," I said."No one works for free around here," she chuckled."I'm
Nalya I took steps towards the high table. Ella and Nate smiled at me while the Prince's gaze was relentless. Next to him, Juliana glared at me. I could tell she disliked me. I didn't know the others; however, they were just as intimidating. "So, this is the rogue," A man said, the corner of his lips curling into a smile. "Keep your dirty claws away from her, Kendrick," Ella warned. Kendrick winked at me, and I gasped. "Why don't you eat with us," Ella said. Before I could reject her offer, Juliana did it for me."No, Hellen, she's not one of us, and it's improper," she tried to sound calm, but the vein on her temple told me she wasn't."No, Ella. Please excuse me," I bowed and left the room hastily, but it wasn't my day today. I tripped and almost fell, but someone caught me. I slowly locked eyes with my savior. He was tall with brown hair and sharp features."Hello, there," his voice was a breathless whisper."I'm so sorry," I said, standing up straight."It's alright," he caress
NalyaLike the previous day, I woke up early. The head cleaning staff had already given us our equipment. I was told that the Alpha woke early to go to training so his room would be empty. I went there and opened the door.Everything in the bedroom was untidy. Bottles of beer were scattered on the floor. I cleaned the ensuite bathroom, which had a golden tub in the middle. I cleaned thoroughly before going to the bedroom, but what I saw shocked me: Prince Rhaegar was in bed with a woman who wasn't Juliana. I tried to leave discreetly but failed as I made a sound. They jolted awake and sat up, their upper torso uncovered."Who is she?" the woman in bed asked."No one," he said, looking irritable, and my heart constricted painfully."I'm sorry. I'll come back to clean later," I said."No, stay," the woman ordered.My eyes traveled to Prince Rhaegar. He got up from the bed, only wearing black boxers, and my eyes trailed on his muscular body. His body was lean yet muscular. He exercised ju
Five years later. " Are you excited, baby," I asked my daughter. She turned away from the mirror and gave me a broad smile. " Of course! Nana is coming!" she squealed. Mom went on an expedition and has been traveling for six months. My kids miss her a lot, even though they Skype every day. She spoiled them with gifts and trips. That's one of the reasons they longed for her. " Stand up, I want to see your dress," She stood and twirled, " Mama, do you like my Rupenzel dress?" " I do, my darling," The Rupenzel dress was lovely on her, it took Stan months to design it as she wanted, and Elara was hands-on as well. My daughter loved designing and creating. In her short life on earth, she has walked many times on top of the children's runways by prominent designers. For Elara's fifth birthday, we threw a vast princess party in the garden so all her friends would attend. She was smiling from ear to ear, and when we reached the garden, everyone shouted Happy Birthday. All her friends su
NalyaMy wedding was lovely and private. A month after the wedding, we went to an island and stayed there for our honeymoon. We were back in the pack, and my duties as Luna were challenging because I had to balance being a mom of two kids." Mama! I want a cookie." " Me too!" Elara clapped. My kids are a ball of energy, and they enjoy playing together." I'm coming!" I called out. He and his sister were in the salon, playing with toys while I prepared dinner for us. " Dada, Dada!" I heard two little voices squeal in excitement, and a smile formed on my lips. Rhaegar was back from work. They were talking in the salon, and soon, I felt Rhaegar's presence behind me. He wraps his arms around my waist, " How was your day, my love?" Rhaegar asked. "Afterward, I took Khai to Jon's party and attended a meeting for the newly challenged foundation. Then, I had to go to the border for the open market. I almost collapsed in tiredness," I complained, turning around to face him." After dinner
NalyaTwo Years Later Rhaegar pushed me against the wall as his lips descended on my neck. My hands went to his hair, touching it. " I love you," he chanted, " I love you," He carried me in his arms and placed me on the bed gently. I spread my legs for him, and he tore my lingerie, leaving me utterly bare to his eyes. His gaze is dark with lust, and my fingers trail his torso, my folds dripping as he bends to kiss me again. I locked my legs around his waist and pressed him closer to me. " Ah fuck," he moaned as he entered me. I grabbed his shoulder and kissed him again. The pleasure was overwhelming me, and I closed my eyes, focusing on it. My body was shuddering as he pumped into me. His guttural sounds made me needier. I screamed his name as his thrust in me got savage. I could feel his wolf close, " Yes," The pleasure was getting too much for me, and soon, I reached my pinnacle, but he didn't relent in his movement, fucking me harder and faster. "Hm," " Fuck," He stilled i
The tension in the car was discernible, and I was failing to breathe. I was glad when we reached Halsey's new mansion. The driver opened the door, and my mate and I linked arms as we went to the door. A servant welcomed us. She bowed and smiled. I could hear chatter and soft music coming from another room. Halsey's mansion was elegant. By its decoration, I could tell she was a woman of style. The walls were covered with captivating paintings. " My prince, Luna, welcome. This is my temporary home until the estate is ready," she said, kissing both of us on the cheek. I peered at her outfit, a lovely cocktail dress with a low necklace. " You have a lovely home," I said. " Thank you. Let's go to the party room; everyone is there," she said, and we followed her. We reached the room and found a dozen people of high rank. They all bowed when they saw us. " Are you good?" Rhaegar whispered. So, now he wanted to speak to me after being silent the whole ride here. I nodded, not looking at
alyaI rushed back home to see Ella, but she wasn't in her suite. I went to the typical high official area, where only the alpha, beta, and gamma stayed. I found Kendrick and Laika making out on a couch. They parted when they sensed me. " Hi, Luna!' she waved. Laika had been in an excellent mood since she mated Kendrick. I could see the bulge in Kendrick's pants. I averted my gaze, and his laughter resounded across the room. " Sorry for interrupting you. Shouldn't you be doing that somewhere else?"The gamma wrapped his arm around her and pulled her close." We could, but we don't plan these things. Came here for a movie, and our son ended up leaving with cusses," he shrugged. I rolled my eyes. They had scarred that poor boy enough, and he was so young! " I was looking for Ella," I murmured, walking away. " Are you alright?" Laika asked, concerned. " Yes," I answered and walked back, but stopped. Kendrick and Rhaegar have been best friends since they were in diapers! He must know
NalyaAnother month went by, and my therapy was going well. My mate and I hadn't been too close or slept in the same bed. I slept in my son's room every night. He was becoming as miserable as I was, but fear was stopping me from going to him. After my session at the hospital with Tonia, I passed by his office building, I missed him and wanted to have coffee with him. All the employees saluted me; I went straight to the top floor and to his office. My heart was pounding as I neared it. I pushed the door open, but to my utter shock, my husband was in the middle of the office, dancing and giggling with a woman. They stopped when they saw me and stepped away from each other. I was frozen and opened my mouth to speak, but no sound came out. I felt pain in my chest at how they were interacting. Rhaegar smiled at me fondly, but I could tell he was apprehensive. " Babe," he walked to me. The woman was gorgeous and tall. She, too, smiled at me, and her smile was graceful and kind. " I didn
Rhaegar covered my body with a towel and took me out of the bathroom, putting me on the bed. He removed the hair covering my face and wiped the tears from my face. He frowned and kissed my forehead. " I'm sorry," he muttered, kissing me again. I brought my hands to my face and inhaled. I felt uncertain about life and void. I was nullified, and I hated feeling this way. My mate tried to hug me, but I coiled away, not wanting him close for a while. His heart hammered in his chest, and he looked fearful. I didn't want him to think he did something wrong. I just needed some time from him. ' I think I want to be alone for a while,' I croaked. " Nalya, I don't-" he began to protest, but I stopped him' Please, I need this. Just for a while,' He nodded, frowning. He gave me clothes, and I wore them. I was discharged from the hospital in the evening after the doctor ran tests. The car ride back to the packhouse was quiet. I was feeling restless for some reason but keen to see Khai. My g
Rhaegar, I rushed to wrap my arms around her. Nalya was shaking as she cried. I wanted badly to take away her pain. I just held her until she calmed down. We were silent for a long time, me trying to control the rage inside my chest. " Where is he?" her voice was still scratchy, and I could tell it hurt to speak. She didn't need to say his name for me to know whom she was talking about. " Dead, I ripped him apart," " Good," she muttered. She inhaled and wrapped her arms around me. She was still trembling. We stayed in the hospital, and I ordered food to eat. Nalya didn't want so I forced her, but she only had liquids. She was deep in thought when the door opened, and Azura and Kiyana rushed in. I was pleased to see them because they would distract Nalya from her dark thoughts at least. They hugged her, making her wince, and I growled at them. They pulled away and smiled tightly before all spoke at once, telling her what had been going on in the pack and with everyone. " Uria and
Nalya It hurts. I'm in pain. My body feels like it's on fire, yet I'm numb. What happened to me? My eyes couldn't open, I tried, but I was stuck in darkness. I didn't want to be in darkness, but I couldn't help it. I stopped fighting it and allowed it to envelope me. I could hear a conversation. " Doctor Lewis! the results are back... " " Hmm. Infection... Sepsis?" The voices were getting distant. Faint growls are resounding as I completely fall into the dark again. The tingles.. they make me feel alive and warm. Suddenly it's not too cold. My heart was not racing. I felt at peace, my mate was there, and only he could give me this serenity. I miss him, I want him to hold me, to kiss me. ... " Khai, mama is getting better," That's my mate's voice. He speaks so lovingly. Khai? Where is he? I want to see my son. This time, I fought my hardest to find the strength to open my eyes. Light enters my eyes, and I blink a few times, it makes a moment for my vision is become clear. I'm
