Alana's POV. The boils were becoming more painful and unbearable with each hour that passed, and one of the most painful parts of it was that I didn't know what or who to blame. I didn't know if I should blame the maid who brought those things to my room, which, by the way, I had thrown away and burned under Alaric's order. Or maybe I should blame myself for even trusting myself to use those goods. The company, manufacturer, and all those involved in making and selling those creams ought to be thrown in jail.As it was brewing inside me, I was also crying because I was once again helpless. My bad fate in life had to continuously throw shades of events that I couldn't fight off by myself. Now, what was this again? I snapped my eyes shut while I restricted all urges inside me to scrub at my face and scratch away the boils. They felt wet, plump yet hardened on the surface, and whenever I tried to press them, it hurt me so much. Alaric jammed the door behind him, which called my att
Alana's POV. I was going crazy, and that's why I've decided to call Aliya to come and meet me inside my room. Perhaps she would be able to help me clear the thoughts in my mind. Even my wolf was in a dilemma that kept us from knowing exactly what next step we had to take. "Miss Alana." I heard a knock on the door labeled Aliya calling out to me, and my body went active. Hurried, I went to the door to unlock it and drew her inside. When she entered, she gasped when she saw my face. It was so disorientating to see Aliya blink up and clutch her chest while her feet took her backwards away from me, as though I were some petrifying monster in a child's nightmare. I held out my hands as I said. "Please careful. Do not trip."Her other useful hand came to cover her mouth when she gasped and shook her head at what she was seeing. Yes, I couldn't blame her, and every time it hurt my heart. That was also why, for the past week, I hadn't left my room. I was going to get mad at this react
Ava's POV My eyes snapped open, and my body bolted up from the bed at the heavy knocks like metal on the door. When whoever was there wouldn't stop and I looked outside to see that it wasn't fully morning yet, I hurried to it and opened the entrance.Then, I saw Lucy. She had heavy beads of sweat on her face, striking down her face, and her clothes were almost all wet from the fact that she ran here. Anyone could assume that. She looked like she had seen a ghost."First of all, you're at my doorstep, so stop panting like a dog, or better yet, stick out your tongue and become one. Perhaps I might buy you." Then, rolling my eyes, I went serious. "What happened?""I've got some news." She said and wanted to walk inside, but I gave a "uh-ho" sound and held out my hand. "Where do you think you're rushing into? Calm yourself." I commanded and then allowed her inside after she had cleaned her sweats and all. Lucy's breath was making annoying sounds that churned my insides. It made me th
Alana's POV. "Hello." I called as I walked inside Alaric and Ava's room, but to my disappointment, I didn't meet anyone inside. They were at breakfast this morning, and I had wanted to speak there, but Alpha Matthew wanted a silent meal today, so I couldn't say my mind. My face was getting better—in fact, so improved—and I thought it would be okay to appreciate Alaric and Ava, which was what brought me here. It looked as though I only had some acne and eczema now, which, by the way, was also getting cleared out. I could finally walk inside the halls with a smile on my face. I was about to leave when I saw no one when the door to the bathroom snapped open and Alaric came out with a wet towel hanging low on his waist. I could see his dick once again, and my insides twirled instantly. And on his face, there's a massive wave of soap, so he had his eyes closed. "Who's there?" He said with his hands in the air, as if to guide himself through the darkness since his eyes weren't opened
Alana's POV. I sat on one of the chairs at the dining table as I studied a book. Alpha Matthew has actually requested my presence, and that's why I was here to speak with him. Although he was yet to arrive, I had no choice but to use this book to quench the boredom of waiting for his arrival. It wasn't long afterward that he blessed me with his presence, and as he entered the room, his eyes were radiant with a spark. "Alana!" His voice was ethereal as he spread his arms to pull me into an embrace. Wow. Within the hug, my eyes widened, as I hadn't expected him to take such an action. There was no one else in the room with us except a guard that came behind Alpha Matthew, and he was standing close to the door, quite far away from us. "'Now, I called you here for a conversation, but firstly, I've got to apologize for my absences here and then. I heard about some of the things that happened to you that should have happened." He paused and graced me with a tug on his lips.Man, if t
Alaric's POV. I headed inside Alana's room without knocking but lightly opened the door. She was not inside the bedroom, so I already figured that she would be on the balcony. I headed there, and when I met her, a smile landed on my face. She seemed very excited with the way she was humming to a song inside her head and opening the pages of the books with her face peaceful. I walked up close and watched further. Then my wolf emerged at the back of my head to grin as well. "She looks perfect." He said, which made me roll my eyes. That's not why we are here.I had neared her completely before she shifted her eyes to me and jumped up in shock with her hands flapped around. "AH!" Before she could scream aloud, I used my hands to cover her mouth and flared my eyes at her. "It's me, Alana." I told her, but she still seemed fretful."Hmmhmmhmm," she was murmuring. "hm, what?" I said before my senses told me that there was no way she could have spoken well. My hands were still cover
Alaric’s POV"You don't know how happy it makes me that I get to talk to someone about this. And not just anyone but someone who understands how I feel."Alana smiled at that. A full, genuine smile.I had always wanted to become a pack doctor but I could never become one as I was going to become the alpha of the pack soon. Talking about it was more than enough to make me happy. "I'm equally glad I could talk to someone about this too. And more importantly, I'm glad I could be of hel–""Allie honey!" Ava's voice rang from inside the house, cutting Alana off and evaporating her smile.Alana immediately snatched her hand from mine and began looking around as though she wanted to fly away from the vicinity.I wondered why she was acting this way. Was she scared of Ava? Probably because of the way Ava had been treating her lately, she didn’t want to create another trouble for herself and so this was the reason for her reaction. "Alana? What's wrong? What are you doing?" I asked in confu
Alana’s POVI held my breath as Ava turned the explanation over in her head. Then she huffed and pulled Alaric away with her.I let out my breath heavily, my heart still beating fast. I don't know how I'd survived but I was glad I did!Whew!That Ava girl was no doubt a real life Regina George.And thank God for Alaric's quick thinking. At one point I'd thought he wouldn't play along and then Ava 2.0 would be unleashed. He was so smart. And I was glad of that.I slid to the ground as my imagination ran wild, thinking of what could have happened if I hadn't thought fast and Ava had caught Alaric and I having a heart to heart.I grimaced as I imagined her throwing me over the balcony. That wouldn't be pretty at all."Or what if she snuck into your room at night and –""Oh shut up Georgia." I cut my wolf off in one of her gory imaginations. I laughed lightly."Where do you get off dreaming up such mayhem?"Georgia began to giggle. "I'm your deepest darkest thoughts!" She said ominously.
Alan’s POV Lisa was also an omega, but she had a better name than I did. She didn't get insulted as often as I did since she was still a member of the pack, while I was just a slave omega who was sold.I tried to ignore them, but their taunts grew louder. Tears welled up in my eyes, but I refused to let them fall. Instead, I held my head high and continued walking. lisa understood how I felt, and she touched me, giving me strength. I knew I had to be strong and not let them defeat me.Whenever lisa was with me, the chances of getting bullied were slimmer. We had been friends since the day I was sold into the pack. She was one of the few people who saw me for who I was and didn't judge me based on the circumstances of my life. Having her by my side gave me much-needed comfort. I often thought she would have been a great mate if she were a guy.We finished up and made our way back to the outskirts of the city. I couldn't help but think about the upcoming celebration that everyone was t
Alana’s POV "Slave Alanna, do you still have anything to say?" The Alpha's loud voice met my ears; he was talking to me. My head was bowed, and I was sure I looked guilty.Slowly, I raised it, tears clouding my eyes, never mind, I was just a weak human and couldn't stop myself from crying. "I didn't do anything to luna." The words choked out of me. I wanted him to believe me, but he didn't."Drop this act, you wretched witch. You did this to me!" The Alpha of the Jade pack, my mate's wife, yelled at me. "You did this," she said again.I shifted my gaze to her, forcing myself to speak. "You're all lying," I muttered in a whisper. "What would you gain?"I was being accused of slapping the Luna. What reason would I have for doing that? I was just an omega slave, and she was a werewolf Luna. How in God's name could I slap her? They weren't thinking."Alanna, did you slap the Luna?"Alaric, my mate, asked."I.. I.. I mean" I couldn't speak, and everyone began to murmur."See, Alpha, she's
AVA’S POVPacing around the room, I knew the importance of the coronation and I couldn't help but let my emotions becloud my sense of reason."Ava you need to calm down." Collete voice pulled me out of my deep thought. "You don't have to be bothered by Alana." I stopped on my track. Mere hearing that name pulled a certain anger within my vein."That bitch had succeeded in taking everything away from me. I used to think about my life with Alaric and right now,it is obvious my hopes are gone down the drain." I didn't know my voice were loud. I hated that someone like Alanna would take Alaric away from me and all I had in mind was nothing short of revenge."What are you going to do?" Collette questioned and indeed it was the same question that lingered through my heart. What exactly am i going to do about Alanna. It was about time I dealt with her appropriately. While my mind was in deep thought about my next line of action. I suddenly felt a wave of energy hovering around the place and
Alana’s POV Huh What was happening?"Baby, who is she?" She eyed me, or more so, the coat I was wearing. "Darling," he responded, my heart breaking into a million pieces at the name he just called her. "She's my mate and new slave. Do you like her?""You brought your mate here without consulting me? Alaric..." She dragged."I don't remember having to take orders from you." The alpha frowned."I'm sorry, baby, it's just..." Again, she looked at the coat. I'm sure she recognizes it as Alpha Alaric's."Don't think too much." He stated, walking to stand beside her, facing me. "Ava, meet Hazel, my omega mate and slave," he began introducing. "Omega," he referred to me, "meet Ava, my wife." What His wife? Alpha Alaric already had a chosen mate?God, was this a joke? It was a cruel joke indeed."Baby, why does she look pale?" Ava looked disgusted at me."It's how omegas act when they see beautiful things." He snickered.He was rejecting me directly. Damn, it hurt so bad. Whatever he wa
Alana’s POVI jerked back to reality, my attention back to the man in front of me. He was glaring at me."I'd like to get started, if you're willing to pay attention now." The Alpha grumbled.Without waiting for an answer, he signaled to the elder to begin the ceremony."Ladies and gentlemen, it is my honor to be here at the Sun Moon Pack today to bless the union of these two children of the Moon Goddess. Shall we?"He looked at my mate, and he nodded once.The elder looked to me with a soft smile, which I returned."Do you, Hazel?" He stumbled for a second, and I smiled sheepishly.The Elder cleared his throat and started again. "Do you, Hazel of the Sun Moon Pack, accept this union and my blessings?""I do," I muttered."And do you acknowledge and accept that henceforth, you will no longer be a member of the Sun Moon Pack?""Yes." I replied a little more eagerly, Who wouldn't be happy to leave the place called hell?"Then, as an Elder of the Werewolf Sitting Council, I hereby strip
Alana’s POV"Hurry up, slave! You have no work to do, after all. Did you even bathe? You stink," barked the Alpha, his tone filled with disdain.I rolled my eyes, growing tired of his constant belittling. I couldn't comprehend why the Alpha thought it was a good idea to assign his spoiled omega sex slave to help me prepare for my mating ritual. It was beyond me. When my mate was in the pack, they allowed me to rest, although my mate would occasionally yank me out of bed by my hair if I got too comfortable. Since then, the slave, Jennifer, had done nothing but waste time on her phone and hurl insults at me with her attitude."Yes, Jennifer," I muttered, my voice laced with irritation. She snorted in response and returned her attention to her phone. I was nearly ready for the ritual. My thick brown hair had been pulled up into an elegant twist, with the veil neatly tucked into place. I hadn't worn any makeup, so I had no choice but to embrace my natural appearance. It didn't bother me
All of the paranormals in the pack were assembled on the open ground; they were all listening to Vron's final speech before the battle."My friends, the battle is upon us. Today! We emerge victorious against the pureblood! Charge! He yelled.Everyone on the field charged in the direction that the purebloods were coming from.Alana was levitating over them all, watching them charge. She sent Alaric to safety while Colette, who was about as powerful as Rawlaine, fought alongside the others on the ground. Alana wasn't taking part in their battle; her opponents weren't the ant-like wolfs of the Nosferatu, but the twelve purebloods.She didn't have to wait long before they arrived. They attacked her in the sky as soon as they arrived on the battlefield."Hmph, these are the roaches that want to take my powers for themselves." She scoffed.She deflected all of their attacks with a single wave of her hands."You have all been thorns in my father's side; today, you will cease to exist," she s
Alana’s POVThe last week came, and I started my training with Lawson. He was polite and cheerful as always, and I was very friendly to him as well. He fought hard, but I took special care not to defeat him even once. That would make his guard low. I knew that I could defeat him, even though I couldn't defeat Rawlaine. If I wasn't wrong, Rawlaine was the most powerful wolf alive in the human realm, apart from the pureblood, if not the most powerful supernatural.On the last day of my training with Lawson, he politely asked for a word with me."Can we take a walk?" He asked."Sure," I replied.We walked to the edge of Lake Geneva, which was on the border of the pack's territory."I heard from one of the witches that you had a shouting row with Rawlaine over me a week ago," he started.I pretended to get enraged on his behalf again. ,"Yes, he was slandering you just to get me to like him. What an attention-seeking jerk!" I exclaimed."He wasn't always like that, you know," he said."He
Ava’S POVA loud siren suddenly started blaring, making my head hurt badly."All residents of the pack are to assemble in the general hall immediately," said the voice of Vron, the leader of the pack and the instructor of the Numbers.I got dressed quickly and went to the hall alongside Belle, who explained everything about the pack that Five and Ven had left out. There were only twelve of the numbers left. Vron was a witch, and the most powerful among the werewolves were the triplet grandchildren of Count Dracula, which were Lawson, the guy from yesterday, herself, and someone called Rawlaine. They were sixty-three years old each, and they were opposing their grandfather by choosing the opposite side from him in the war."We used to be so close when we were young, but something happened. Rawlaine doesn't interact with anyone anymore; it's rumored that something happened to him some twenty years ago." Belle looked sad as she said that."The strongest of the werewolves are the five des
