Broken but not defeated, she shatters their bond and flees to reclaim her strength. To save her pack, Khaleesi agrees to an alliance with the enigmatic Alpha Dustfinger Aodhán. But beneath his cold gaze lies a dangerous obsession—and a dark secret that ties him to the murder of her parents. Torn between vengeance and an undeniable pull toward the monster who holds her fate, Khaleesi must decide: Will she become a pawn in his twisted game, or will she rise and seize her destiny?
Lihat lebih banyakKhaleesi's POV; The aim had been to walk around the pack and sightsee whatever there was to be intrigued about. That had only be my intentions; to walk around, possibly admire nature and see what else this pack had to offer. Never did I expect to walk right into a crowd of the Bloodmoon pack members, comprising of the females and the pups, all staring at me like they had been waiting to hear my 'words of wisdom.' No shit because the only thing in my head was to bolt away from them and leave as far as I could. From the look on their faces though, I could tell they were just about ready to follow me on my heels and pursue me to the end. This was sure as hell another fantastic way to continue my day! First, it had been getting into a headlock with Aodhàn and him almost winning me. Now, it was his pack members whom I have no idea what they wanted except from the way they kept on staring like I was their goddess. "Uh....can I help you? Is there something you need?" I asked tenta
Khaleesi's POV: "Sorry to interrupt you Alpha but there are some urgent matters that require your attention now and cannot be postponed." Lior's sudden appearance was one thing I'd forever appreciate and I patiently waited for Aodhàn to move away from me! At last, I didn't have to take the shame of my body betraying me and going against my will because of a man again. Seconds passed and after what seemed like a long time, he finally moved away from me but not before saying, "We'll continue this talk later, darling. Be prepared." And with one pat to my butt that had my mouth dropping open in surprise, he created a distance between us. That fucker! I yelled in my head squeezing my fists tightly together and swallowing down my anger. This wasn't the time to attack him; I could definitely do it some other time- were the words I used to encourage myself before pulling my mind to focus on the food spread out on the huge table. "Like hell I would...," I couldn't help but
Khaleesi's POV; A part of me wanted to answer with 'a place you'd never dream of stepping into throughout your lifetime ' but from the way the heat radiated off his body, the other part of me knew that it was going to be a wrong call and it was best for me to keep my mouth shut for a bit. Thinking about it, his question might be a way for him to sooth his ego but the way he talked was in no way satisfactory to me. If anything, it was only giving me more urge and the strong control to go against him. "I'd like to eat my breakfast," I said, ignoring his question and pretending like his sudden touch wasn't affecting me. There was no way his touch that began from my fingers up to my wrist wasn't affecting me and it was taking me a good number of self-control to get my act together and act like I wasn't getting affected by his touch. A small grunt from him, followed by his mouth on my ear was all it took for my thoughts to suddenly become mushy. "That isn't the answer to my q
Khaleesi's POV; From the moment I left Aodhàn's room, up to when it was time to fill my stomach with food as breakfast, everything just didn't seem well with me. It was as if a part of me had been taken and stolen away from me, leaving me with a hollow side I never thought I'd miss. No! No one gets to control me and I alone am the boss of myself! I repeatedly said these words to myself. On one hand, it was to convince myself and on the other hand, it was needed to be a great reminder of how far I had come. "It better be a joke!" I cussed out, stumping my way to the dining table where breakfast had already been spread out on the large table. The only thing missing on this table were people to fill up the chairs and make a lively atmosphere. Since I had been here, this was how lifeless Aodhàn's dining table had always been and one would have expected me to get used to it but instead, each time I came here, it was as if the universe was reminding me of the betrayal I
Aodhàn's pov: I enjoyed a challenge and no one had ever challenged my power like Khaleesi just did. I can go cry about it? I let my smile spread while I watched her stump out of my room, her shoulders squared and had been looking like she was ready to tear me to pieces.How nice and refreshing was it to see someone ready to challenge me? For the past year, everyone I encountered was scared of me, avoiding me at all cost and yet, the same woman who made my childhood hellish had yet come into my life again at first acting meek but after being pushed to the edge, she was beginning to show her true colours again.I wasn't going to lie when I'd say this amused me to jo end. If anything, I couldn't wait to play with her as much as I wanted to and even every fibre of my being specifically happened to be agreeing with me on this."She's so cute. I can't wait to see her break and cry for mercy," I said aloud, rubbing my chin and laughing about the sight I already painted in my head. I
Khaleesi's POV: I didn't want to believe my ears but from the seriousness on Aodhàn's face, it was clear to me he wasn't lying or as much as making a joke. "Do what?" I asked, opening and closing my mouth in surprise while trying to understand what was coming out of his mouth. Now, I couldn't care less about not entering his room and taking my stand. From what was being said to me, you could say that it was worth for my reaction to be like this. In the span of a few minutes since I walked into Aodhàn's room, I had gone through a train of emotions which I doubted I'd go through in the first place. One thing was getting called to his room in the early hours of the morning and another thing was getting to be told that I was going to perform in the yearly pack's celebration. To put it simply like Aodhàn said, I was going to be part of the women to be dancing for everyone to see- to showcase my talent. "You heard me right. You would be doing just that," Aodhàn added, this time
Khaleesi's POV; With new-found anger and irritation, I headed straight to Aodhàn's room. Yenna had long sneaked away as usual, leaving me to peacefully storm into Aodhàn's room as I pleased. "How dare that f*cker think he can just call me as he pleased? How dare that fucker think he can command me?" I grinded my teeth together, fiercely glaring at the door standing ahead of me, seemingly just as haughty as its owner. From its design, to its carefully thought of colour, everything about it screamed of Aodhàn and for a second, I thought about venting my anger on it. But coming to think of it, doing that would only mean causing harm to myself rather than doing such on someone else. Soon, I got to the door, immediately banging it open with my right leg. I squinted, trying to adjust my sight to how ridiculously dark his room was. "If you want to cuss me out, at least try to keep your voice down and make sure I don't hear," came his voice from a part of his room which I was yet to f
Khaleesi's POV; One day passing in the Bloodmoon pack and it was beginning to feel like my whole life had gone meaningless It had only been a day since I got back from the battle in my pack, a day since I've had to stain my hands with blood once again- remembering the exhilarating feeling I once used to have right before I forfeited all of that to be with a man who only saw me as a tool. A tool that had foolishly given herself away, growing someone else's pack but most especially, the said person happened to be her parent's murderer. Thinking about it, I let out a bitter laugh at how stupid I had been in the past years. My mission had been to get revenge for my parent's murder and yet, I foolishly let my heart do the thinking and allowed it to control me. Years of doing that, I hadn't really thought much about it until now. Now that I was left to bear the consequences of my actions. These were consequences I hadn't seen coming but knowing how much torture I put Dan
Aodhàn's pov; Aside from playing the mind game with Khaleesi, another thing I was taking pleasure in was seeing her face go all red and hot, like she was seconds away from exploding. My wolf preened at her reaction to my presence, taking so much pleasure in seeing how affected she was. If it was left to me, I'd have taken matters into my hands and succumbed to the dirty thoughts my wolf was beginning to plant in my head. Not that I could blame him since I wasn't blind to the fact that Khaleesi was definitely swoon worthy and was beautiful enough to cause a reaction. "... this body is yours too." I ended, maintaining the teasing smile I had and enjoyed how well she was reacting to every one of my words. Watching how her lips moved in a stammer, difficult for her to form words. It brought both I and my wolf so much joy seeing as how she was unable to keep her cool while in front of me. The warmth of her fingers seeped into my body even through the shirt I had worn. A
Khaleesi’s Pov; I never really understood the concept of death coming and going, taking whoever she wanted anytime she pleased. Each time I was unfortunate enough to witness the death of others, only one question kept lingering in my mind - Did they ever have a choice? Were they given an opportunity? I guess not because as I laid on the all too familiar bed, listening to the sound of machines get louder than before, it seemed to me like they weren't really given an opportunity. The ward had become colder and even my body parts seemed not to be in support of seeing me alive again. I could feel the coldness lurk around, loitering around my body and starting to create a familiarity between us. Everything Around me didn't look as colorful as they once used to and it was even difficult to hold a lie. “Beep. Beep. Beep,” was the one sound from the machine, giving the ward a bit of life compared to my fragile self with a sickly pale skin laying on the bed. With each breath I took, it...
