Zephyr stood with her head bent low and her hands clasped in front of her. His dark aura made cold sweat roll down her spine, and she felt herself trembling. She felt his ethereal dark gray eyes fall upon her, intensifying the urge to scurry away as he closed the distance between them. She tried to move backward, but her back pressed further into the wall, reminding her she had no place to run to. His larger frame towered over her as he placed one hand beside her head. Zephyr had seen many men, and she could confidently say none held a candle to Alpha Damon Alaric. Damon was handsome in every way, and if she didn't know better, she might have mistaken him for the devil. Zephyr shivered when his fingers grasped her chin and tilted it up to meet his dark gaze. "Zephyr…" Alpha Damon trailed off, a sinister smirk playing on his lips. Her heart raced as his thumb gently caressed her lips. "Didn't I tell you you're mine? How dare you let another man touch you?" His voice remained calm, but his eyes spoke volumes. Zephyr's heart skipped a beat when his hands moved to her bottom, gently caressing the soft flesh and stirring sinful desires within her. "Or do you want me to take you to my bed and remind you to whom you belong?" Zephyr Cyrus was the lowest of all kinds; even the Omegas easily trampled her because she was a slave. She had accepted her fate, knowing that denying it would only lead to death. However, everything began to change when the Alpha's shrewd eyes fell on her.

She had promised herself that she would tread carefully—there would be no mistakes while she served him, and she wouldn’t go against any of his instructions, not after what she had gone through the day before.It was early in the morning, and the castle buzzed with maids and servants who were in a hurry to get their work done. As she walked, she could feel scrutinizing eyes on her, but she kept a straight face and continued without glancing at them. She was now wearing a neat black-and-white uniform like the other maids—she was no longer dressed in rags. Her hair was packed in a neat bun, and the injuries she had sustained from Sheila’s beatings had healed completely.As she walked, her eyes secretly searched for North, hoping to get even a glimpse of her, but she was nowhere in sight. Stepping outside, she saw a well-polished carriage with two horses, and Lord Rayven stood in front of it, seriously
Chapter 23Zephyr’s eyes widened as he slipped the fabric off her leg. Her heart raced rapidly; she could barely breathe as she was left gobsmacked. His hand was still on her thigh, squeezing and massaging it gently, leaving Zephyr in disarray.Her cheeks, neck, and even her eyes burned from what he was doing to her. His large, cold hands on her tender skin, his movements—everything was too much for her to take in. What was he planning to do to her? Her body trembled under his hold, and her eyes glistened with tears, silently pleading for him to just let her go and not take her virginity.He eventually withdrew his hand from her body and stepped out of the bed, leaving her there. Zephyr’s face contorted with both fear and worry. With her hands still tied to the headboard, she couldn’t move an inch. She couldn’t help herself out of this crazy and embarrassing situation she had landed in. She wished she had never disobeyed the Alpha’s instructions to begin with—not that she had ever don
Chapter 22Zephyr clenched the side of her gown with her hand as she watched the Alpha suck her wound. Heat rose to her neck and cheeks, and she wished she could just disappear from his sight. She had never been touched by a man before—that was, not until the Alpha started taking an interest in her.As she watched him, she remembered that night at the inn where he had cornered her and fondled her bosom. She had been that scared and overwhelmed at the same time. Several feelings spiraled inside her that night—she had been too shocked and scared. But now that she thought about it again, she felt this strange heat in her body. It was highly embarrassing—the way he had groped her. She had to remind herself that this same man had seen her naked so many times already. Her chastity was as good as dead in front of him. These were things she had planned to keep hidden from her future husband. She couldn’t let him find out. How would he react if he knew she had been seen and touched by another
Chapter 21Noah’s face hardened when Zephyr snatched her hand away from his grip, and he was even more annoyed by the fact that the Alpha had to interrupt their moment. But this wasn’t just any Alpha—this was the Alpha of the Shadowcrest Pack, so he quickly masked his annoyance with a composed expression.“Alpha Damon,” he bowed his head in respect.“Did you forget the route to the drawing room, Viscount Noah? Last I remembered, Lycans ought to have a sharp memory—unless, of course, one has failed to use their brain for a long time,” the Alpha said nonchalantly. As he spoke, his eyes never left his mate, who was supposed to be waiting for him in his chambers—not gallivanting with another man.Noah’s cheeks burned with embarrassment, and he clenched his fists to tame his anger. Extreme rage simmered within him at how the Alpha indirectly insulted him in the presence of the woman he was yet to woo.“I did remember the route to the drawing room, milord. I just came out for some fresh air
Chapter 20Damon’s eyes twitched as he stared at him, another chuckle erupting from his lips.“Now, how on earth did you find out about that?” Rayven smirked. “It’s nothing personal, just wanted to play with you a bit,” he chuckled nervously.“Sure, play,” Damon muttered. His long claws came out, and his other eye, which had previously been gray, turned pitch black too.Before Rayven could blink, Damon threw him off the railing with such force that he landed hard on the ground. The impact left a huge dent, and Rayven lay there as pain erupted from every angle of his body.Blood poured from his head, and he felt like all the bones in his body were broken. He could hear the faint sound of footsteps approaching. Damon leaned closer to him and wrapped his hand around Rayven’s neck with his claw.“I’ve been wondering where the brain to create such a creature even came from in the first place. I knew ever since that day those idiots attacked me that it was your fucking doing,” Damon said, t
Chapter 19Zephyr’s eyes fluttered open again. Her eyes felt heavy, and she felt so weak, like all the blood had been drained from her body. She struggled to recall what had happened the last time she had woken up, but it was close to impossible for her.Using every ounce of her strength, she sat up on the bed. The logs of wood in the fireplace burned vibrantly, bringing enough warmth and heat to the room. Zephyr looked outside, and she saw that it was night already.She knew she was in the Alpha’s chambers yet again, and sometimes, she wondered if he remembered she was just a slave. Zephyr was scared; that day in the woods, he had told her that her life would belong to him after saving her. When she found out he was the Alpha, she never thought he would care about her or protect her.Why did it feel like there was more to the story than she knew? It didn’t make any sense, but if it did, why would the Alpha care about someone like her? She was only a slave. She remained on the large b
Chapter 18Zephyr let out a loud scream, surprising Damon, who had been standing next to the bed. She began gasping for breath, her eyes searching frantically for something that wasn’t even there to begin with. She had obviously had a bad dream.She got down from the bed and rushed toward the door, trying to leave, but the door was locked.“Come back to your senses,” Damon said, holding her hand and forcing her to look at him.Zephyr shocked him further by burying her face in his broad chest, wrapping her smaller hands around him as she began crying.Damon’s body froze as she hugged him, sobbing even more. His brows furrowed as he wondered what she had seen in her dreams to make her act this way. His jaw hardened as he gently patted her back, feeling like the slightest pressure from him would break her; she was too fragile.Eventually, her sobs died down, and he had no choice but to carry her back to bed, covering her properly with the thick blanket.“It’s just a dream; go to bed,” he
Chapter 17Damon had returned to the castle. His movements were quick and precise as he hurried straight to his chambers, but it became worse. It may sound unbelievable, but ever since his mate stepped foot into his room that night, her scent had lingered in the air.Her scent was alluring—too alluring that it was making him lose his mind. He had stayed outside the castle walls for days because of it. One sniff of her scent was all it took to make Zeus growl in anger and desperation. One moment he was in his room, the next he was at the servants’ quarters searching for her.When he got to her room, the sight that greeted him was enough to stir something dark within him.Sheila trembled in fear as the Alpha’s deadly eyes fell on her. She had heard people talk about how ruthless he was, but she had shoved it under the carpet, thinking he favored her more since he had taken her to his bed several times. But now that he stared at her with bloodshot eyes, cold sweat broke out across her bo
Chapter 16“Zephyr, Zephyr. Zephyr, I’m sorry,” Zephyr heard a woman say, but she could barely see her face. All she could see was her long black hair. Her voice held so much pain and sadness, and the sound of her cries made her heart wrench. Just when she was about to reach out to her, her eyes flew open.She knew she was conscious, but at the same time, she felt like she was not. She could hear a loud noise in her head. She tried to move, but her body felt too heavy. She was cold, too cold.“Zephyr, you’re awake,” North said as relief washed over her. Her relief was short-lived, though, as Zephyr fell unconscious again.North cried as she dipped the towel in warm water, squeezed it, and placed it on her forehead. Zephyr had promised to meet her at dinner. She had looked for her everywhere but was shocked to find her unconscious in the heavy rain.The people here were truly heartless, and she despised them all. She had personally carried her back to her room because she knew no one w
Chapter 1: The Alpha's Possession**Her bare feet padded across the hard ground as she ran with all her might. The leaves in the vast forest hindered her sight, but she pushed them aside, desperate to escape. Her eyes were red and swollen, her cheeks puffy from crying nonstop for what felt like an eternity."Thief! Catch that thief!" she heard the head guard shout behind her, and the sound of approaching footsteps grew louder, all heading in her direction.It was unfair—she hadn't done anything. She had been framed, but who would listen to her? She was nothing but a slave in the castle, her status even lower than that of the Omegas. She hadn’t committed any crime, yet she felt the sharp sting of injustice pressing down on her. Her body ached from hunger, and her head spun as she was deprived of food all day. She would have been dead by now if the head maid hadn't helped her escape from the dungeon.She had lived a miserable life from the very beginning. She didn’t even know the identi...
