**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
**NATASHA'S POV**I heard a loud roar in my room and instantly, I was on high alert. I sat up on the hospital bed where I had been sleeping and looked around for any possible threat. "Sorry, did I wake you up?" Desmond asked after noticing me. He moved to the window and opened the blinds, allowing the morning sun to stream into the room, illuminating the darkness. I couldn't even remember falling asleep, but I figured it had something to do with Desmond. After Jorge had hurt me, Desmond gave me a sedative to help me sleep while he worked on my rib. Since my Wolf was still weak, she wasn't healing as quickly as Desmond would have liked. "It's okay," I groaned. "What time is it?" "It's now 2pm in the afternoon," he replied. My eyes widened in shock. I had slept for so long, yet I still felt exhausted. Desmond came to my bed to examine me, poking and prodding me, causing me severe pain. I had to stay still so he could do his work. I really wanted to heal quickly so I could get back
3 YEARS AGO**NATASHA'S POV**I found myself in the forest just behind my parklands. The smell of smoke wafted through the air, coming from the compound, and the sound of people screaming filled my ears. My heart ached as I ran away from my home, my family, and the woman who had carried me for nine months in her belly. I couldn't save her, and I couldn't even fight for myself so I had to run.My mother's voice echoed in my mind, urging me to run. "Run, Natasha, run!" I pushed my legs to move faster, ignoring the pain. The sound of paws echoed behind me, indicating the presence of seven mature wolves chasing after me.I continued running, disregarding the wolves getting closer. Eventually, their paws faded away, and I abruptly opened my terrified eyes.This was it. I was on my own now. I frantically looked around the room, trying to take in my surroundings.I no longer found myself in the woods. I was in an unfamiliar place that I couldn't recognize. As I glanced at my sides, I noticed
**ALEXANDER'S POV**The sun was setting, bringing an end to another day filled with unanswered questions about Natasha and her true identity. It was driving me insane. She had managed to infiltrate every corner of my mind, to the point where I couldn't think or breathe without her face appearing in my thoughts. I desperately wanted to uncover the truth about her, but she remained tight-lipped. The last time I spoke to her, she had been hysterical. Judging from her reactions, I knew I was right. She was running from something, or rather, someone.The first thing I needed to do was to call Lord Cyrus and inform him that his supposedly impenetrable boundary had been breached by wolves, and that I had seen them today as well. I didn't know why they were here or where they were from, but their behavior convinced me that they were searching for something, or someone. Their eyes were fixated on my territory, confirming my suspicion that they were after Natasha. I had no idea what they want
**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**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 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**Zoe brought some boxes to help me pack all the clothes in the drawer and wardrobe. I wasn't sure if I was allowed to take them since they were already there before I entered the room, but Zoe assured me that all the clothes are mine because Lord Alexander bought them for me. We had been packing in silence for the past half an hour. Zoe occasionally glanced at me, but didn't say anything. Her stares were unsettling, especially given the current tense atmosphere. When I couldn't take it anymore, I dropped the pile of shirts I was packing and stared at her. "What is it, Zoe? You keep looking at me as if I've turned into a wolf or something. It's unnerving and only adding to my stress, not relieving it.""I'm sorry," she squeaked and then busied herself with packing the shoes from the shoe bag into the boxes.Instantly, I felt guilty. Zoe was a low-ranked Vampire who had suffered a lot at the hands of higher-ranked Vampires like Jorge. Judging from the healed wounds on
**NATASHA'S POV**If I had only that little time, then I needed to spend it as close to him as possible, not stuck in this room away from him. The rain calmed, and now it was just a gentle drizzle. The night had not gone according to plan at all.If everything had gone as planned, I would have been far out of this territory and on my way to finding a new place to start a new life. I would have been miles away from Lord Alexander, which I know my wolf won't be happy with. My place was by his side as his first lady, as the Moon Goddess has planned for us, but the problem is that I had been fighting against the bond. There were still so many things up in the air for me. One such thing was Damien; he was out there somewhere, looking for me and hunting me for some unknown reason.But tonight has shown me one important thing. It has shown me that the safest place for me now is the Kingdom of the White Vampires. They are called White Vampires because of their fair skin. Damien is an evil w
**ALEXANDER'S POV**I had only met Cynthia once in my life before now. We met at a ball that took place years ago. I was often told that her beauty was like none anyone had ever seen before, but I had to disagree. If I saw Cynthia two weeks ago, I would have easily said she was the most stunning woman I had ever laid my eyes on. But then I met Natasha, my enchantress."Oh, thank the Moon Goddess, you're awake. I was so worried, Alexander. We came as soon as we heard about the incident," she said as she brought our connected hands to her heart.I pulled my hands out of her hold, not feeling comfortable at all. I didn't like her touch and certainly didn't want my hands anywhere near her chest."Cynthia, what are you doing here?" I said with a frowned face.Her eyes narrowed. "Really? That's how you greet your wife? After I traveled a long distance to see you?"I sighed, massaging my temples. "I'm sorry, Cynthia, I'm just not myself right now.""Oh, my love, I know," she said with a smi
**ALEXANDER'S POV**The smell of antiseptic wafted into my nose first, followed by a pinch in my elbow. My vision was dark, but I could make out a faint hint of light from above. I groaned as I tried to block it out."Alexander," a distant voice called to me.There were only a few people in the kingdom who called me by my name without any title: Desmond, my parents, and Jorge. Although Jorge preferred to call me Lord Alexander, him addressing me without the title wouldn't be offensive or disrespectful. At this, I knew that the person calling me must be between the four people I mentioned."Alexander," the voice called again.All I wanted was to sleep. Why couldn't they let me?"Alexander," the voice called for a third time, now sounding closer and clearer.It was Desmond.What was he doing in my Royal Bedroom?Beneath the antiseptic smell that hit my nose earlier, there was another scent. It was the scent I had grown addicted to in the last few days.Natasha.She had been here. She ha
**NATASHA'S POV**We burst through the door, carrying Lord Alexander on a stretcher. I followed closely behind. Desmond had to perform CPR because Lord Alexander's heart had stopped beating. He was completely surrounded by healers who were shouting out orders to one another as they worked on their lord.I felt a knot in my stomach as I watched them work. They were hanging various bags of liquid and injecting him with different substances that I couldn't identify. They were yelling out different stats for his vital signs that I couldn't catch.Despite the chaos, I still held Lord Alexander's hand, refusing to let go. Guilt washed over me as I contemplated whether I was somehow the cause of his problems. His eyes were closed, and those vibrant, bloodshot eyes that had taken my breath away from the moment I saw them were hidden from me.The healers moved around me, taking various blood samples and scanning his body for injuries. Desmond came up beside me and turned Lord Alexander onto hi
**NATASHA'S POV**The air around us was silent. Lord Alexander was still in vampire form, looking in the direction where the wolves were running to. From the way he was looking, I could tell he knew the Lord of the next kingdom. At this moment, I felt relieved as adrenaline began to leave my body.It was still raining, but the rain had become lighter. The thunder had calmed and there was no more lightning. I used my hands to wipe away the mud that splashed on my face. I didn't dare move towards Lord Alexander as I knew his vampire was still in control of his mind. Instead, I moved to where my bag was lying on the ground and shouldered it. When I turned around, I saw a now-human Alexander who was also naked. I shrieked and turned around, my cheeks heating at the sight of him.I felt an urge to turn and look at him again as the first glance wasn't enough. I knew it was my wolf trying to make me look around, but I resisted. "But he is your mate," my internal voice said, trying to convin
