**NATASHA'S POV**I was still bothered by Zoe's words. She was right; as the true first lady, I was meant to be one of the leaders of this kingdom.I never thought in my entire life that my mate would have been a Vampire lord. Since the war that occurred between the three factions years ago, it was rare for the Moon Goddess to mate a Vampire and a wolf or a human as there is no longer peace in our world.Even if there is a situation where mates come from different factions, they end up rejecting each other. So there is absolutely no way that Lord Alexander would mate me, Natasha. Maybe the Moon Goddess made a mistake because, on paper, Cynthia was exactly what Lord Alexander needed. I came with too much baggage to be the first lady of the White Vampires. I wasn't raised to be a Vampire leader like her. I was raised by two omega wolves who know absolutely nothing about leading a pack, let alone a kingdom.The little experience I had in ruling was from my late husband, who was an Alpha
**NATASHA'S POV**We walked through the healing center and headed towards the lord's wing. As we passed by, the nurses and other staff greeted Desmond and some even bowed their heads. This was strange, considering he wasn't ranked higher as a Vampire. He may have been the head Healer, but that didn't give him any real ranking in the vampire kingdom. Technically, he was just a Healer and nothing else."Why do some of them bow to you?" I asked.He shrugged. "Some still believe that I should be second-in-command and not Jorge. Vampires in my bloodline have been second-in-command for decades. I was the first to break that chain. A lot of them believe that Jorge should not be Alexander's second-in-command and they believe I am the one fit for that. They don't agree with Lord Alexander's choice of second-in-command.""Do you?"He glanced at me. "It doesn't matter what I do or don't agree with. It's Lord Alexander's kingdom and he is my best friend. I support whatever decision he makes.""I
**NATASHA'S POV**I returned to Lord Alexander's room after collecting the wine that Cynthia had ordered. I had been tempted to run back to Lord Alexander's house, but then I realized that I would run into his mother and Cynthia's parents, who didn't seem pleased with my presence. So, it was either braving the storm from Queen Saraphina or braving the storm from Cynthia. Whichever choice I made, it was still uncomfortable for me. Cynthia seemed like the lesser of the two evils, but I had been wrong.I was about to open the door to Lord Alexander's room when I noticed Desmond walking in my direction. When he saw me, he smiled at first, but when he saw the chilled bottle of red wine in my hand with a glass cup, his smile quickly faded. He scowled at the glass and then looked at me."There is some wine in Lord Alexander's room. You should have just taken one of those bottles from the big fridge.""I know, but it's actually not for me. It's Cynthia's. She sent me to go and get her a bottl
**NATASHA'S POV**I fled from my pack to ensure my own safety. I knew Omegas were chasing me, so I had to run as fast as I could or else I would be captured and sold into slavery, or even worse, forced to marry the evil Alpha. I had been married to the late Alpha, who was betrayed and killed by his own Beta. Betas typically hold the second-in-command position after the alpha and generally show respect towards the Alpha. However, this was not the case for Beta Damien. Beta Damien had always desired to become an Alpha, so he killed my husband and took his place.I couldn't bear the pain of losing my husband, so my mother took me back to her home to help me heal. Little did she know that this would cost her life. The new Alpha requested my hand in marriage, but I refused. He then sent his omegas to forcefully bring me to him.The omegas arrived to take me to the Alpha, but my mother resisted and gave me the opportunity to escape."Run!! Natasha!!! RUN!!!" were the last words my mother
**ALEXANDER'S POV**She appeared petite and fragile - my hand could easily break her in half. Yet, when they told me there was a wolf crossing our borders, she was not what I expected to see.There was something peculiar about her that intrigued me. I couldn't help but admire her beauty. I wonder why she is trespassing into our territory. "Doesn't she know about the Laws?" I thought to myself.She had a captivating presence, with her white fur and mesmerizing blue eyes, even in her wolf form. I had yet to see her in human form, but I longed to be in her presence. Despite her dirty white fur and scratches on her body, her beauty was still enchanting.****The war between humans, wolves, and vampires ended centuries ago, and the council established a Sacred Law for each entity to stay away from one another. This law meant that any wolf or human trespassing into vampire territory would be sentenced to death or locked up immediately. In some cases, if it was discovered that they were flee
THREE YEARS AGOI heard the sound of breaking glass from a distance and the shouts of people outside. It was chaos. I hurried inside to where my husband was sleeping before I left. What I saw almost made me faint. I saw my husband lying lifeless on the ground in a pool of his own blood. I cried and screamed in pain, but it didn't change the fact that my husband was already dead.At first, I thought it was a dream, but after several attempts to help him, he remained lifeless. I knew this wasn't a dream.Alpha Damien took over immediately and started selling the Omegas into slave trading. Other omegas were kept to serve him and help him with his evil plans.He sent his evil Omegas to forcefully bring other little Omegas and kill their parents if they resisted. Then, he would sell these little Omegas into slave trade.In our werewolf packs, the wealth was measured by the number of slaves one had, so slave trading became prevalent.Parents were being killed and houses were being burnt dow
**NATASHA'S POV**"Your vitals seem to be good, and you're healing very well," Desmond said as he removed his stethoscope from my chest. "How are you feeling?""Good, thanks for helping me," I replied with a smile on my face.He shook his head. "No need to thank me, I'm just doing my job."I nodded and looked out of the window. Desmond pulled up the blinds so that I could get a better view. I could see the moon, and there was something calming about it.There was a moment of silence in the room as I continued to gaze at the moon. Suddenly, I turned to Desmond and asked him, "What will happen to me after I've fully healed?"He cleared his throat and spoke calmly, "Natasha, I know what you're thinking. You think we're going to suck your blood and kill you, but we can't do that." He looked into my eyes, as if expecting a response."People might see us as evil and terrible, but I assure you, we are not like that. There may be several bad vampires, but that doesn't mean all vampires are ba
**ALEXANDER'S POV**I did everything I could to remove my mind from Natasha, but it seems I was wasting my time as my heart keeps beating for her. The more I try to forget about her, the more I find myself longing to be with her."Who are you, Natasha??" I screamed, talking to myself. "I'm really going insane and I need to do something about it before it's too late."Everything about her keeps calling me. All I want is for her to exist, nothing else. I've never experienced this kind of pull in my life. I guess this is the strongest pull one could experience. In just a few hours of knowing her, my body has really changed. I feel like I'm being haunted because her love is hunting me like a ghost.I looked up at the moon and felt both sad and happy at the same time, unable to determine my mood."Moon Goddess, please help me make the right decision," I silently prayed, raising my eyes above the sky.Once again, I looked at the healing center and felt another pull to go back there. I wante
