The carriage moved swiftly along the road. Every turn it made caused me to stiffen my body against the seat, preventing myself from sliding into Natasha. "Can't this carriage go any faster?!" Luna Trina shouted. The carriage sped up. Still, Luna Trina was dissatisfied with the speed at which we were moving. "Move faster driver!" Luna Trina yelled. I tightly held on to the side of the seat. The carriage felt like it was flying. I worried endlessly along the way about the carriage crashing into another at the speed we were going. The carriage stopped and I slid along the seat, almost landing on Luna Trina's lap. The entire time we were in the carriage, Luna Trina sat comfortably, like the carriage was moving slowly. The speed didn't bother her at all. The driver opened the door. Natasha and I followed behind Luna Trina as she exited the carriage. I stared around the surroundings and saw that I was in the center of my community. It was where all the people of the Iron Claw pack woul
"Bang, bang!" I heard a knock against the door. I quickly wiped away my tears and stood. The door opened. It was another female worker of the castle. She stood at the door. "The Alpha is having lunch and wants you to be there now," she informed me. I nodded and followed her. We walked along the passageway. Soon, we were in a well-decorated room. The walls were painted full white, and the curtains and all the decorations were made from gold. The maid pointed to where the Alpha was seated. The Alpha sat on a golden chair. Beside him was his beautiful, evil-hearted Luna, Trina, on an identical chair. Luna Trina saw me coming toward her. She stopped eating her green grapes and gazed at me. Her alpha mate, Alpha Maximus soon turned to look at me. His handsome face lit up at my presence. "Come to me my concubine," he said to me and stretched out his right hand to me. His fingers were covered in golden rings. My hand reached out for his as I got close to where he sat on his high throne. I
"Get up!" Luna Trina yelled as she turned toward me. I immediately got up from the floor and stood still, my back pressed hard against the wall of my room. Luna Trina gravely stared at me. I lowered my head, knowing the reason for her behavior toward me. "What other special talents do I need to know about?" Luna Trina asked me angrily. I could hear how pissed she was in every word that escaped her mouth. "I can sing as well, Your Luna," I told her softly. I didn't want to lie to her. I didn't know what she would do if she found out that I could sing, if I had lied to her. She would surely punish me. "That's all?" she asked, upset. I nodded. "Raise your head when you're speaking to me, concubine," Luna Trina commanded. Immediately, I raised my head. Luna Trina stared into my eyes, infuriated. "Don't ever think you're special, concubine," she said to me. "For you're not, you're just a sex slave to my mate and me." I nodded as I heard her harsh words, while I fought the tears f
I stared at my clothes in his hand while my heart raced heavily in my chest. What had I gotten myself into? I was worried. I should have ignored the urge to shift into my wolf form and returned to my room. I cursed myself in my mind. "Are you going to hide behind the tree all day?" Marcel asked me. My eyes slowly moved from his strong, long, muscular hand to his handsome face. His long dark hair blew slowly in a wind passing by. His eyes, which rarely showed any emotion, gazed at me. I stopped looking at him and leaned against the tree. I started to wish so badly that I wasn't in my current situation. Marcel was evil and I wanted nothing to do with him. After seeing what he had done to the poor young man, I was deathly scared of him. I covered my face with both hands. "I'll rip your clothes apart if you don't come out by the count of two." he threatened. "One," he started to count. Before he could say two, I hastily moved from behind the tree. One of my arms went around my brea
"Calm down," I told myself, gently resting my hands against my chest. After a few minutes, I heard a knock on the door. My heart, which I had managed to slow down, was beating quickly again. I feared that it was Marcel at the door. The door opened and I started to breathe heavily. My eyes closed and I again held my chest. When I opened my eyes, relief washed over me. It was not Marcel, but Natasha. "You're called to have dinner," she told me. I took a deep breath and hurried behind her, trying to catch up to her. She slowed down before we entered the large, beautiful dining room. It was a great sight to see. As I entered the dining room, I saw the Luna and her mate, Alpha Maximus, sitting next to each other around a long table. Natasha instructed me to sit three seats away from the Alpha and his Luna. "You're Alpha and Your Luna," I greeted them with a bow. Alpha Maximus gave me a warm smile but his Luna just glanced at me and took a sip at her red wine. "You may sit," Alpha Maxi
Luna Trina's devilish smile quickly disappeared, replaced by a straight face and a scornful stare. She rolled her eyes and quickly exited the room. As she did, I sat heavily on my bed, troubled. I couldn't help worrying about the sick plan she had plotting in her head. "Stop worrying about yourself," I whispered to myself. "Whatever evil plan Luna Trina has will backfire," I said, trying to calm myself. I took a deep breath and exhaled heavily, my breath quivering, while I prayed that Luna Trina's plan only included Marcel and not both of us. I got off my bed and exited my room to use the bathroom. As I stepped outside, I spotted Marcel, walking along the passageway towards me. Our eyes met and I immediately turned around and returned to my room. I had lost the need to use the bathroom. I went over to my bed and sat down. My heart was yet again racing. Marcel was so powerful that he always seemed to leave an effect on my body whenever I saw him, unlike his brother, Alpha Maximus. H
The entire time I was in the large bathtub being given a bath, I wanted to cry. I hated what was happening. I didn't want to get intimate with Alpha Maximus. Deep down, I started to wish I was his brother's concubine instead of his. After what almost happened between his brother and me in my room before Luna Trina disturbed us, I realized that I wanted Marcel as badly as he wanted to have me and, most of all, I felt comfortable with his touch and being naked before him. I lowered my head, not wanting the maid to see that I was blushing. I was thinking about Marcel wanting me to refer to him only by his name and not by his title. My bath was soon completed. The maids helped me out of the tub and wrapped a long white towel around me. They dried me and again wrapped me with another towel. I exited the bathroom following them back to my room. I nervously clutched the towel around me while I worried non-stop about having sex with Alpha Maximus. As I worried, I recalled Marcel's dark eyes f
"No," I turned my head aside before his lips could touch mine. I was not for Marcel tonight but for his brother, Alpha Maximus. Marcel softly kissed my left cheek while he breathed heavily, seeming to be starving for me. I hungrily turned around to have him as well. My body was not supposed to be given to him today nor ever again, but I couldn’t fight the powerful feeling for him anymore and, worst of all, he was poised over me and naked. The powerful handsome warrior Zeta was the only one in the castle who treated me like someone. He was my first and the wolf I believed I was falling for. My hand reached for his handsome face and kissed him. Marcel passionately returned my kiss. Our arms quickly wrapped around each other. We kissed hungrily, sucking on each other's tongues. Our bodies grabbed each other as if we were at war, a sex war, where the bed was our battlefield and our weapons were our bodies, longing to be satisfied by our strong sexual desire for each other. Marcel ripped
Quickly, I turned around and ran straight to my room. "Bella," I heard Marcel shout as he chased after me. Before I could close the door, Marcel stopped me. Our eyes met and we stared at each other. I slowly backed away from the door, spun around and walked over to the window. I stood there, sadly staring through it. My eyes closed as I heard his footsteps getting closer to me. Marcel stopped and I felt him stand behind me. I could feel the air from his nostrils touching the strands of my hair. "Bella," Marcel said softly. I didn't answer him, nor did I open my eyes to turn to look at him. One of his warm hands touched me. Immediately, my eyes opened. "Don't touch me," I said angrily. "I'm staying here with Alpha Dragos." I walked over to our pup that was sound asleep. Marcel stared sadly at me. "Why are you treating me this way now, Bella?" Marcel asked, seeming to be confused by my strange actions toward him. "He's my fated mate, Marcel, so I cannot return with you," I q
"I have something to tell you, Marcel," I said fretfully. "What is it?" Marcel asked in his powerful voice that could not hide his anxiety. "It's about where our baby is and who he's with," I told him, staring into his eyes. "Is our pup in danger?" he asked, and stood, his face worried. "No, no, he's fine," I told him as I too stood and tried to calm him down. "Then why are you afraid to tell me where our pup is?" Marcel asked, as his dark eyes pierced into mine. "It's because he's with my fated mate," I finally told him the whereabouts of our pup. Marcel froze, his face alarmed. I could see worries in his eyes, that at that moment he was worried about losing me. "Don't worry; I'm with you always," I told him as I caressed his strong broad shoulder and stared into his eyes. "Good, for I don't know what I would do if you were no longer in my life" he said, gently caressing my face. I smiled. I felt relieved that Marcel had handled the news well, but still I was a bit stressed
I couldn't believe it was Marcel standing before me. It felt so unreal. "Marcel," I cried happily as I ran toward him. Marcel's strong long right arm stopped me from getting close to him. "Who are you and what do you want?" he asked, his voice puzzled. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I stared at him, shocked. "Oh, there you are; you found him," Denah said as she came around the corner of the house, struggling with her shopping bag, trying to keep some of the things she had bought from falling out. "Who are you?" Marcel again asked. He seemed to be curious and his dark eyes that once used to be filled with love for me, were now empty. "I'm just a friend of Mr. and Mrs. Clayton," Denah answered. "They gave me this herb to give you." She handed him the small bag. Marcel took it from her. "Thanks," he said. He took another look at me and hastily went inside. I quickly wiped away my tears before Denah could see that I was crying. "Let's go," Denah said and turned to walk awa
That night, I didn't sleep. I was eager to see the town. I needed to find a job so I could leave as quickly as possible. Baby Marcel got up five times for the night, hungry and miserable. Luckily, I was able to put him back to sleep without having any trouble. Baby Marcel was an obedient baby. He got that from me, not his father. I smiled at that thought. It was morning. I tidied Baby Marcel and gave him his breakfast, breast milk. "Alpha Dragos wants you to have breakfast with him," the elderly maid said as she entered my room. I stared at her, worried. "I'll watch the baby for you and take care of him," the maid assured me and stretched out both hands to take Baby Marcel. I gave her my pup, not wanting to disobey the Alpha in his home. "If he starts to cry, let me know," I told her. "Yes," she said. “And, oh, Denah is waiting outside to escort you to the dining room." I kissed my baby before leaving. Alpha Dragos sat at the table, waiting for me. When he saw me, he immediat
I was brought to a very large home. Each side of the building was surrounded by plants that gave me a feeling of still being within the woods. The building was painted brown. It gave me a warm earthy feeling. I was placed in a well-decorated room and the door was shut from the outside. I gently held my baby in my arms and took notice of my new surroundings. I already hated it there. I felt like I was back in my land, locked again in the Alpha's castle. "Shh...," I hushed my baby as he began to cry. I slowly walked around the room rocking him gently, wanting him to be quiet. He didn't stop crying. I realized that I hadn't fed him since he was born. That must be the reason why he was miserable. I walked over to the bed, picked him up and gave him my breast. He hungrily suckled it. "I'm sorry, my pup," I said softly over him as I watched him. I felt such peace just gazing at him. He made me feel that everything was okay and that everything that had gone wrong in my life had never occu
I cried tears of joy, knowing my sweet pup in my arms was not Alpha Maximus's but his brother’s, my love, Zeta Marcel Wolffinton. I must save you, I thought worriedly as my pup's eyes, as dark as Marcel's, closed. I got off the bed and held him safely in my arms. "You need to rest," the doctor said and the nurse guided me back to bed. "I need to leave before the Alpha kills my baby," I told them as they tried to stop me. "The Alpha won't do such a thing; he'll be happy he has a boy," the doctor told me. "I vomited out the herbal cleanser the same day you gave me!" I yelled at him. He froze. Suddenly, the door opened. It was the Alpha accompanied by two guards. "You have a boy, Your Alpha," the doctor stuttered nervously and continued to stare at me. "Give me my son," the Alpha ordered me and began to approach me. The two guards stood at the door. As the Alpha got close to me, the nurse and doctor stepped away, not wanting to be close to me when the Alpha lay his eyes on my p
Wait! Luna Trina was pregnant? I was shocked. She had told me she was unable to bear a child. I stared at her belly which was the size of mine, very large. She seemed to be eight months pregnant as well. "I thought you were dead," I said to her, shocked to see her. "I thought so, too, but strangely I awakened from my sleep," Luna Trina said as she got close to me. My eyes were glued to her belly. I was curious. She looked at her belly then at mine. "I thought you couldn't get pregnant," I said to her. "That's why I'm here, to save you before that baby is born," she told me as she got closer to me and touched my shoulder. I stared into her green eyes, frightened. "If that child you conceive is a girl, my horrible mate will force you to have another until it's a boy, but if it's a boy…" Luna Trina paused as she turned her back. "He shall kill you and allow everyone to believe that I am the one who conceived his heir," Luna Trina said. She spun around to look at me with great wor
TWO WEEKS LATER.................... "Let me help you with your shoes, Ms. Bella," Natasha said as she ran toward me, and stooped before me. "I'm okay; I'm able to put on my own shoes," I told her. "No, let me please do it for you," Natasha insisted, determined to help me. I growled angrily as I allowed her to help me. I had no choice. "Please avoid being angry; you don't want to put any pressure on your body," Natasha said. I stood up and walked away from her to the window. I was upset. "I entreat you to sit down, Ms. Bella; the Alpha ordered me to see to it that you're well-rested and not spend too much time on your feet, for the sake of both you and the baby." "We don't know if I'm with a pup yet!" I yelled, irritated by her. "So, please just leave and give me some time, alone." "Please calm down," implored Natasha. My face crinkled in anger, and I immediately walked across the room to my bed and lay on my back. "I'm calm and rested now; can you please leave me alone now,
"How long will this method take?" Alpha Maximus asked the doctor, seeming to be curious. I sat silently on the bed and lowered my head dolefully, listening to their conversation. "The faster we get your sperm the quicker we can do this," responded the doctor. I raised my head to see the doctor reaching into his bag. He took out a small, empty squared bottle and gave it to the Alpha. "Masterbate and fill this," the doctor said, handing him the bottle. Alpha Maximus took the bottle from him. He placed it in his pocket and immediately left the room. "I've made something very thin with silicone to make it easier for you to insert it," the doctor turned to say to me. I stared at him, wondering what it was. "It's not like the artificial penis I've used before to send the sperm into the female. It's much thinner and smaller and at the end, it has a small ball where I will squeeze to get the sperm into your vaginal passage. I've made it quickly just for your sake, you beautiful she-wol
