I spent the night in what I've come to know as Agnia's room. No one tried to wake me up so I slept until midday. She went about her activities and returned often even bringing me my lunch but I couldn't eat anything at the moment. I forced myself to get out of bed and take a bath while replaying everything that happened last night. I should have listened to my gut instinct. I should have never told him that Athena was involved. It was clear that he would never do anything to hurt her and now I've put myself in more danger with Athena. After my shower, there were clothes on the bed. I changed into them and Agnia came in with a smaller plate this time. My stomach grumbled and I happily accepted the meal. After eating, I wanted to take the dirty plates to the kitchen but she stopped me. "Let me do it," I said but she already had the plates in her hand. "You should get as much rest as you can get. Don't bother yourself with this" her voice was comforting and I could also detect pity. S
On the second day, I managed to clean most of the house until only two rooms remained. I couldn't complete the rooms today because I was already exhausted. I stopped at Samantha's house but it was locked. I decided to return to the pack house. As I was entering the building, I noticed Athena coming out. I retraced my steps and hid behind a tree. She exited the building with two men who she seemed over-friendly with. A third man walked out of the house and I recognized Dionyus instantly.He shared a laugh and a hug with Athena before they continued, walking away. A thought crossed my mind. Could Athena have something to do with the incident that night of the banquet and the murder of the girl? It could be possible. I needed to speak to Xerxes or Xander since the king was out of the option. Athena was dangerous if she truly had something to do with the murder of the girl. When I was sure they've moved away, I came out from the spot and entered the building. This was the second time I h
"What? No. You can't do that Agnia. I can't work as the alpha's personal maid" "It's not something I decided on Frost. The command came directly from the alpha" "You have to do something" I cried desperately "There is nothing I can do. You'll have to obey or take it up with the alpha" I stayed silent still processing this whole mess. How could he? Why would he make me his personal maid? "In my opinion, this is the best thing. You're closer to him and safer that way" I scoffed. He was trouble. Staying far away from him was the best option for me. "Frost. About what happened earlier today with the letter. It's best if you don't speak about it with anyone" "Is something wrong?" "No. It's for your safety. Our safety. I don't know what joke the person is trying to play but you must not get involved with issues conveying the blood wolf, it's deadly. I trust you'll keep your mouth shut about this issue?" "Yes" I nodded "That will be all then. You may leave. You resume your duties tom
The door flew open and light from the hallway flooded the room entrance. I stared like a fool as the Alpha's large frame filled the doorway. His eyes darted between me and the broken frame on the floor. "What the fuck are you doing in here?" he asked through gritted teeth. "I... I... the painting" I stammered in fear. "Who asked you to be in here?" he stormed inside and pushed me away from the pieces on the floor. I caught myself with the wall but suffered some bruises from the impact. I watched dumbfounded as he knelt and picked the pieces of glass from the floor. "Nobody is supposed to be fucking in here" he shouted angrily still not taking his eyes away from the floor. He was reacting calmly. Way more calm than I expected him to be. I expected him to rage, break something and threaten to kill me. "I'm sorry" I apologized genuinely. I was going to leave the room and I didn't have plans to destroy the painting. It just happened and although he didn't look angry, I still needed to
ALPHA ROME'S POV Staring at the shattered pieces of the artwork caused me grief. Lucille loved that artwork especially, that was why she hung it next to the door where she could look at it in our old bedroom. When I recreated it, I put it where it was formerly. I was torn between being furious with Frost and understanding it was a mistake. Why was she there in the first place? How did she find the key? A lot of questions that I could have gotten answers to if I had simply asked her but I was caught up in my emotions and I didn't want to say something I'll regret so I asked her to leave albeit harshly but she got the message and left thankfully. I pulled out the painting, previously framed with glass. Thankfully there was no tear when it shattered. I folded it and put it into my first drawer. I would replace the frame much later. I felt calm now and I closed my eyes. My door opened and Gideon entered. "Did you send Dionyus up to my floor?" He looked confused for a second but he nodd
He stormed down the short stairs and Xerxes squared his shoulders waiting for an attack. "Let go of her right this instant" he yelled angrily at Xerxes. Xerxes didn't let me go and only tightened his grip on my arm. "Xerxes" I mumbled in a small voice. I didn’t want any trouble or argument. "Don't get between this Frost" Xerxes voice was cold and commanding. The shouts had grabbed the attention of some people and they were watching us intently. "Let go Xerxes" Xander stood a few feet away from us with a cold look. "Stay out of this" Alpha Rome ignored Xerxes and dragged me out of his hold roughly. "Don't manhandle her" "Stay in your fucking lane, Xerxes. Don't push me. Let's go inside Frost" he nudged me gently. "Don't push her" Xerxes pulled Rome's shoulder roughly. Alpha Rome punched him hard in the face and I heard a sickening crack. Xerxes chuckled and spat blood out. "Finally showing your true colors?" "Enough Xerxes" Xander pushed Xerxes but he pushed back. "Stay the
My body was burning from so much heat. My face was buried into a hard wall that smelled so good but I still had difficulty with breathing. I opened my eyes and tried to move back but something seemed to be holding me tightly. I pushed against the wall but instead, I realized I was pressed up a hard body. Alpha Rome. Memories from last night flooded my head and my cheeks burned with embarrassment. My ass tingled where he had spanked me and my thighs clenched remembering the pleasure he had made me feel. I've never felt something like that in all of my existence. Embarrassed by all that, I pushed harder against him. "Stay still Frost" his morning voice was deep and husky. My thighs involuntarily clenched and a flood of wetness escaped me. I heard him suck in a deep breath and I knew he would be able to smell my arousal. My embarrassment doubled and I pushed harder against his chest. Thankfully, he let go of me and I moved far away from him. My body missed his warmth but I needed to ke
“Fifty gold coins?” The tall man asked in disbelief. “That is too much for a slave” another man said. “How can you afford that? Did you steal? Are you even supposed to own that kind of money?”. Ajax took a step forward and the men went silent. “You really want to buy the slave for fifty gold coins?” The auctioneer asked. “Yes” “Let me have the coins”. I quickly picked out the silver coins and gave it to the man. After counting and confirming the amount in the bag, a greedy smile spread on his face. “Have her” he handed the chain to me and slipped a key into my hand. “I won’t hand this coins back to you” “I don’t need you to” I said and started unlocking the girl’s chained hands. Ajax helped me and she was free from the chains. “Why did you buy me?” She asked in a dull tone. Why did I buy her? I had no reason to buy her but I did anyway. I guess it was better than allowing those men to take her for themselves. “What will you do to me?” “Nothing, you are free to go. Take this”
Third person povTwelve years later frost and Rome had lived the happiest lives they could. After the birth of their first son, she has two more children to add to him. Twin girls. Zaidee and Amala. Rome was smitten with the two girls. With his family. Years ago after he had lost his first mate, he didn't think that something like this could be possible. But here they were. Frost waved her hand in front of her mate's face and he snapped out of his thoughts."Are you listening to anything I'm saying?" She queued him.He had gotten lost while she spoke to him. Something that happened frequently these days. She had also gotten lost while staring at her mate's face. Counting the blessings of the moon goddess. "What do you suggest we do about it? He asked her and she shrugged."He is our child. He had Alpha blood and the powers from my lineage but he is too young to be that powerful. I fear""I've told you to remain calm and let's watch him for a while. Give him a couple of years"Frost s
Xander and WillWill’s PovI didn’t know how to feel about Xander but I was mostly upset with him. Yes, he had fucked up big time. But so had I. I asked for forgiveness and Frost had forgiven me. Rome had forgiven him too. He visited and asked him to return to the pack house as the beta but he refused. He would rather live like an outcast than become beta again. I didn’t like that he would want to wallow in self-pity, regretting his actions all the days of his life.‘Why are you with him?’ my wolf questioned. I liked him. I wanted something more with him. He said he wanted the same with me. But I didn’t know if I could be with him if he chose to never forgive himself for how he betrayed Alpha Rome.I continued on my way to Sileas's new residence. Since the war ended, the advisors were dissolved and their privileges are taken away. On one hand, it was best to do it this way. Loyalties were being shared when all should be loyal to the king.I had also been guilty of that. It was an acti
Life couldn't get any better for me. I had a loving mate, a wonderful new family and I was about to give birth to my child any day from now. I couldn't wait to hold the child in my arms. I often wished it'll come sinner but I can't be faster than fates. Strong arms wrapped around me and touched my rounded belly. I leaned into the touch of my mate. His warm hand touching our child through my belly caused warmth to spread through me.Rome was more eager to see the baby than I was. If he had his way, then our baby would have been here months ago. He never failed to show how much he loved and adored our child. Always kissing and touching my swollen belly."I told you to stay in bed" he whispered in my ear before biting my lobes as a punishment for defying his orders."I can't stay in bed all day""It's good for you. You should have enough rest until our pup is here""It gets so boring. If only you spent it with me"He turned me around so we were facing each other and he kissed me deeply.
The days got better but Rome's work didn't reduce in the slightest. I offered to help but he refused each time. I tried several times to bring up Xander's case but he dismissed it each time. It worried me to see the bags under his eyes."Are you listening to me at all?" I asked him with folded arms. "Yes. And I'm assuring you it's Omar. I can take care of it""You're barely getting any sleep""There's a lot to be done. I can't just leave it""I'm not asking you to leave it. I'm asking you to get help""I'm fine" he brushed me off."Whatever" I started getting annoyed with his stubbornness."Do whatever the fuck you want to do. It doesn't matter to me" I stomped off and he let me go.Since he wasn't going to be a hardhead and do all the work himself, I wasn't going to stop him or ask him not to work. He could work himself to death if he wants to.'You don't mean that' my wolf scowled. Of course, I don't. I would never wish him death but he was so frustrated, why won't he try to get he
"My mother?" Sienna was confused."You know my mother?" Her voice was full of disbelief.I didn't think this was a great time to break the news to her. I caught movement in the doorway and I saw Agnia waiting to be called."Agnia" Rome called her from the doorway and she strode inside.I looked at Sienna to take in her reaction to the news. So many emotions crossed her face at the same time. Hurt, regret, disbelief and finally settled on anger."You're my mother?" She questioned."Yes my child" Agnia reached for her but she moved away quickly."You aren't dead? Or sick or anything. You're healthy and alive""Yes," Agnia cried."You left me" sienna's tone was accusing."All my life.....you never came to find me""I wanted to. Believe me, I really wanted to but I couldn't. Thorne would have had me killed the moment I stepped foot onto his land""You never tried"Agnia hung her head in shame."You didn't even try to get me""I'm sorry" she mumbled."Why didn't you run away with me too?"
Rome and I didn't leave the bed. We made love countless times until our bodies collapsed in exhaustion the next day. I didn't think I could feel happier than this in my life. Everything I ever wanted, desired, craved. I had it all with me. The journey had not been easy in any way. It was the toughest but in the end, I was here with my mate, and a pup growing inside of me.I caressed my stomach gently, there was no bump yet but in the next couple of months, the child will arrive. I couldn't wait to hold my pup in my arms.Rough palms covered my palm on my stomach. I looked behind me and I was key with the intense eyes of my mate."My love" his voice was husky and it sent a drag wave of weakness between my legs.I loved hearing that from his mouth. He grinned and kissed me deeply, turning me over until we were facing each other."You look beautiful this morning" he complimented but I rolled my eyes. I'm certain I looked like a mess.He ran his plan lazily over my stomach."I can't wait
He grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the hall towards his office. We kept kissing, his free hand trying at every opportunity to touch any part of me. He opened his office door and dragged me in gently, slamming the door shut behind us. He pressed against me and I could feel his cock pressed up on my lower belly. I was writhing in anticipation. He kissed my neck, sucking on the skin. His hand stretched over my back in an attempt to pull down the zipper of my dress.He stopped and turned me around, easily pulling the zipper down all the way. He ran his fingers along the length of my back and a shiver traveled up my spine.I was so eager, pulling my hands out from my dress and it fell to the floor. I couldn't wait any more seconds. I turned around, facing him now. I went in for another kiss.He stopped kissing me for a moment and pulled back to look at my breasts. I heard his heavy breath before he plunged again into kissing and sucking at my skin. He continued downwards until his mou
I was nervous as hell. No matter how many times I cleaned my palms, they still managed to be sweaty. I'd mentally prepared myself for today but now it was time, it didn't seem like I could do it. Today was the merger of the three packs. I was going to also be introduced publicly as the best blood wolf. Everyone wanted to meet me. So I have heard. I've not met with the other Alphas yet. Each time Rome want me to go with him, I came up with an excuse that I didn't want to leave the house. We didn't have to argue about that. Rome had been extra loving, doting on me and making sure I had whatever I wanted it. He was taking good care of me. I spent my days eating and reading and puking. Hormones. There was movement outside the door and voices. I tended. It wasn't Rome. He said he would come and get me when it was time. Or did he send another? He would get an earful from me if he did. There was a soft rap on the doors. "Come in" I called out and the door opened slowly. Jon was standing
Rome left early. I had no idea what he wanted to take care of but it gave me a good opportunity to leave the room like I wanted. Ajax was guarding my door. "Luna" he bowed. "I'll like to see Xander" He scratched behind his ear. "I don't think that's a good idea. The Alpha...." "I'll handle him but I need to see Xander" His reluctance was clear and I couldn't blame him. "Now Ajax. You can either accompany me there or point me in the right direction" He hesitated but then he nodded. "Let's go" I walked behind him, pleased to be outside. Girls and guards bowed as I walked past. It wasn't a new thing but it felt different. Rome informed me that wounds had spread about how I defeated the rogues and everyone wanted to meet me. Including my new pack. I was nervous about it but he assured me, I had nothing to worry about and we could see them whenever I was ready. We arrived at a door. "He is inside Luna" I knocked twice on the door and I heard his voice before I pushed it open. "
