The Blind Alpha

I couldn't help but sulk as I made my way through the dense forest, heading towards the annual celebration dinner that our pack was throwing. The air was filled with the scent of grilled meats and the laughter of my fellow pack members, but all I felt was irritation. My uncle, the alpha, had extended an invitation to none other than the alpha king himself, King Lucius. He didn't have to do that, but he did it anyway.King Lucius was a name that brought a wave of anger crashing over me. I had despised him for as long as I could remember, convinced that he was responsible for the death of my parents. My hatred for him ran deep, and the mere thought of his presence at the celebration made my blood boil.I hated how much my uncle disregarded what he had done to us, to our family. I will never forget that man and his sword that night. That devil took the most essential things from me and left me empty and dead inside.I had heard tales about the man to last me forever, and the last thing I

The cold feeling of the floor against my body was the first thing I felt as I slowly opened my eyes. Everywhere was pitch dark, and it took a moment for my eyes to adjust to the darkness finally.The floor was cold against my skin, and I tried to move; that was when I felt the cold feeling of chains against my skin. I was tied in a dungeon like a criminal.I could feel my anger rising again as memories of earlier started to hit me. My neck was still a bit sore from all the choking that demon had done, but knowing we were no longer mates made me happy. I rejected him and was ready to pay for whatever the consequences were.Lila whined in my head, and I chose to ignore her. If she refused to see my point for not wanting to mate with a criminal, I would miss her until she realized I was doing this for both of us.“He’s not that bad of a man, Vesta. You need to give him a chance,” she whined, and I cackled. Like a witch, I knew Lila was speaking from a wolf’s point of view, but it doesn’t

I watched in fear as my uncle tried to convince Lucius to let me stay behind for a few more days. The rest of his men were packing their things in preparation to return to the palace, and it was starting to look like the truth. I went from being happy to being enslaved in less than two days.I was going to be the Luna Queen to someone who killed my parents and made my childhood plagued with nightmares. Every day, I hated him for taking away my dream. I didn’t know how I was going to face the fact that I would spend the rest of my life with him, forgive him, and bear him strong pups.“I’m putting her in your care, Alpha Callum. If she’s not delivered to my palace in a week, you’d have me to answer to, and I’m sure your pack members wouldn’t want that. Don’t play stupid games with me; you will end up winning stupid prizes,” he growled, and my uncle nodded rapidly.Relief flooded me, even if it was temporary. He had just granted me one week to stay with my people, and I would cherish it

I woke up on the floor, my body aching and my head pounding. I had no idea when I slept off. I was still having a time suppressing Lila. I tried to reach her but she was blocking me. I sighed in distress, I wasn’t ready to face her yet or have another go of our argument. I just needed to get better at least. The pang in my chest has reduced but I feel even way worse. Like i was being ran through with a truck. Luna watched me from where she was seated, concern etched across her face."You okay, Vesta?" Luna asked, handing me a glass of water. "Just tired," I mumbled, taking the glass and struggling to sit up. The headache was still very much present and I didn’t want to make it worse. "That was a rough argument with Lila," Luna observed, her eyes filled with understanding."Yeah, it always is," I sighed, feeling the lingering exhaustion from the internal battle. My wolf is a strong willed one and I am too, so it’s basically like two alphas clashing. Luna nodded, her gaze softeni

Lucius's POVI sat in the dimly lit chamber, attempting to clear my mind through meditation. The scent of incense hung heavy, but Knight's persistent voice shattered the fragile calm. My thoughts were scattered, and I needed to regain control. I had never doubted myself before, but this was new.Having someone linked to me forever, having my heart beat fiercely for them, even without my consent, was unsettling. I didn’t know her before, yet I found myself wanting to protect her fiercely. This was the madness of a mate bond.This was bad for me, bad for me as the king of the werewolf realm. A lot could go wrong if I wasn't careful. The most powerful alphas had been brought to their knees by their mates, and I wondered if such a fate would befall me, too.Would Vesta be my weakness? Would she bring down everything I had worked hard for years to build? Everything I built with my blood when the whole world was against me, and I had to fight for my place without my eyes.“Don’t worry, she w
