**ALPHA Duncan’s POV**
There was something different about her, I could feel it, even my wolf could feel it.
Her scent that filled my nostrils didn't make me nauseous even though she only sprayed very light perfume. She was Beatrice Hakket, the only daughter of the late Alpha Hakket. I knew them but why did I feel like I just opened a veil?
Why did my wolf act as if it heard something different, especially when she jumped on my lap? Why?
Her overtime breath hit my face. I devoured her lips more wildly. I was thirsty and I wanted to be relieved. Only her lips could do that and I busied myself with them.
She squirmed while embracing me awkwardly. I let go of our kiss and saw her looking at me disappointed.
"What do you expect?" I asked in a deep voice.
She lowered her head and didn't answer anything while mumbling on her lips, those juicy lips.
"Do you want to be released?" I asked again, seeing her nod. “Then do your duty properly!”
She grabbed my face and brought us an intimate kiss back. This time she didn't limit herself like before. I realized that she really wanted to be released and I wasn't surprised by that. I liked how our tongues were fighting for domination, I liked how she wasn't backing down.
She must have been frightened by my whole being, especially with all the bad treatment she got from the maids.
I tore her clothes and shadowed her with my huge body. I sank my face between her cleavage, biting and kissing before I pushed myself into her, not caring if she was ready.
She screamed.
"Does it hurt?" I asked burningly. Hearing the sound of her howling in this room seemed to tickle my arousal even more. She was the first girl who could do this to me. She could revive me more than I expected.
More than she even knew
She nodded but didn't protest.
This time I was moving and slamming myself inside her slit, tearing her virginity, and increasing my pace.
I'd never been in such a hurry to do it. Not because I wanted to finish all of this, but because I couldn't control myself any longer. Who was she? And why could she drive me crazy like this?
No! I brought her to give me a son. After that, we would part for our good.
“Alpha!” she called me sensually. Her teary eyes looked at me in adoration. Her lips curved but vibrated helplessly as I continued with her nonstop making her shiver in satisfaction.
She hugged me very tightly when she flew me with her steam. Gasping, she smiled with a relieved expression.
My wolf barked inside me wanting more. “She smells so good. We can't stop here!”
I wanted more too, I wanted to fuck her until she loses all of her senses
But I decided to master myself. “This is just a business relationship. We need a son so that the curse on our bodies will disappear. Be kind and get our business done quickly!”
She looked at me with a shy face. The change in her expression made my stomach tickle. A second later that expression changed to one of fear as I snapped at her, “Go away!”
She was shocked and grabbed all of her clothes, put them on in a hurry then ran out of my room.
I slumped on the bed, grinding my teeth. Her face flashed in my head and I didn't know why.
"Was she truly my mate?" asked my wolf unreasonably.
"Impossible. It's just hormones," I snapped angrily.
**Beatrice POV**
My feet tripped and I fell on the floor. Why could Alpha Duncan change drastically like that? Wasn't he enjoying it as much as I was? He moaned and even called my name as if he was crazy about me.
I almost thought that we had become the perfect mate. I thought he would mark me when we spent our first night. But it turned out to be wrong. He kicked me out after sleeping with me. Was I completely insignificant in his eyes?
My body slumped on the bed and thought about all this. My happiness when he filled me was now scattered. I was not sure this would go well and who would guarantee that I wouldn't be killed if I failed to bear him a son?
Then I had an idea. My body was shocked and I sat up straight.
Silence, I thought about it for quite a while. And finally, I was convinced by the idea. "I have to do it!" I said while clenching my fists.
The next day I woke up early to cook in the kitchen. The maids here bullied me but I tried to ignore them.
A delicious dish was made and I served it to Alpha Duncan.
At first, I thought he would be happy and impressed with what I did now, but he snapped at me very rudely.
"What are you doing?" His face was suddenly darker than usual. His aura was like that of a demon.
I was having a hard time talking. “I-I cooked for you, Alpha.”
“Have you forgotten your duty here?” He banged on the table and threw all the dishes that I had painstakingly served him.
I was too shocked so I screamed. He got up with emotion and then pushed my body until it hit the wall. Cruel, he almost punched me.
His fist hit the wall beside me, shattering the surface of the wall.
I cried because I was too shocked. Besides, I was really scared of him right now.
“I warned you not to cross the line. If not then I will kill you!” He almost passed because he had no appetite anymore.
I screamed because I was too annoyed and disappointed. “Can you appreciate my efforts? I'm trying to get close to you!”
"Close to me?" He just strangled my neck. "I don't care about insignificant things." Then he pushed me and released my neck.
I coughed while rubbing my hot neck. "Do you think I could get pregnant if you treat me this badly?" I winced when I saw him glaring. My courage was not as big as his terrifying aura. But I was smart enough to survive the pressure because that was how I grew up all this time. “Treat me well! Otherwise, then I won't get pregnant!”
He sneered and looked away. But a second later he pulled my face and kissed my lips again.
I stared and found his hands on my hips.
He groaned as I froze. "Isn't this what you want? Then why don't you welcome me?"
I smiled, as the sun showered me with its warmth. We struggled with our intentions, fell, and drowned in a very sweet romance.
I was sure I could get Alpha Duncan's heart. He would mark me and we would live happily ever after.
One particularly warm evening, we spent the night together. I didn't limit myself anymore because he already treated me better. He noticed even the smallest detail about me, making me drunk and believe he was in love with me.
Oh, finally my life has found happiness, especially when I feel this uncomfortable feeling in my stomach.
He stroked my hair and kissed my head before leaving. He smiled and said, "You're doing great, Bea."
His back was away as he exited my room. My face sank into the pillow and my feet hit the bed repeatedly.
But then my stomach turned. I jumped into the sink, finding myself vomiting over and over again.
I thought I got a disease in my stomach. But after doing a quick pregnancy check, I learned a fact that made me happiest.
"I am pregnant!" I jumped while hugging the test pack tightly.
***
**Beatrice POV**I was pregnant! Finally! It was time to tell Alpha Duncan this! I wondered what his reaction would be.I held the test pack tightly. When the Omegas told me to do something, I threw my hands on my hips in annoyance. It was time to pay back their bad treatment!"I don't want to do it!" I said. “This is not the task Alpha Duncan gave me!” I didn't care if I sounded like a spoilt brat.They glared and were furious. “Are you trying to fight us, huh?” Then they ganged up on me and even grabbed my hair.Even though I was bad at fighting, fighting the Omegas wasn't that big of a deal. I managed to hit them while teaching them a lesson."I'm the mistress here!" I snapped at them, pleased to see them frightened.That was more like it, I wasn't going to let anyone treat me badly, for any reason.Now I walked with my chin up. Some of the soldiers who saw my transformation were astonished.I knocked on Alpha Ducan's’ study door. Beta Cadence voice came from inside, telling me to
**Beatrice POV**I didn’t believe it. Does Alpha Duncan only recognize me as a tool to give birth to a son?What did I expect? He bought me from a brothel, I was a whoreEven though I really loved him. What? I had always been in love with my mate before I met him, and the idea of having one had always fascinated me. I I did many things to please him. I even periodically turned into an aggressive girl just for him.I remembered dancing in sensual and transparent clothes in front of him. I did it so that our relationship would get closer and we were feeling love grow between us. After all, he was my mate! But after hearing what he thought of me, I couldn't stay in the palace.An Omega suddenly stood right in front of me. She didn't catch me when I almost ran away. She said instead, “Go! I'll pretend I never saw you here. But never come back again! Because if you do you will surely die! Alpha has found a girl on his journey. He will immediately kill you even if you are pregnant with his
**Beatrice POV**Tall and commanding, with a strong aura of authority, it really was Alpha Duncan—the enigmatic and revered leader of the pack I had run from; the Alpha King. My heart skipped a beat.He was as handsome as I remembered… my mate. But when I suddenly recalled the words that made me leave him, my heart clenched in pain.Recalling how I was now the revered Luna of a pack, respected by many and feared by some, I refused to show that part of me. It was part of the past. So, I made a decision—to pretend not to know him, to approach him as a stranger.With a composed demeanor, I stepped forward, my eyes staring back at his and my voice as steady as possible. "Alpha Duncan," I greeted respectfully, with my tone devoid of any familiarity or recognition. "I am Luna Red, representing the Red Pack. My profound pleasure to meet you Alpha."I wasn't expecting him to reply with a prior knowledge of knowing he was never the type to talk a lot so I gently walked over to an empty chair a
**Duncan POV**Meeting Beatrice at Alpha Darrick pack for the peace negotiations wasn't a coincidence. It was carefully mapped out so we could meet again, for me to see her again.I missed her a lot, I didn't negotiate for the loneliness that came with her leaving that day. Her absence had left a void in my life, a profound loneliness that I hadn't anticipated. I yearned for her presence, for the connection we had shared during our brief encounter. The memories of our time together lingered in my mind, and I couldn't help but miss her deeply.When I got news that Alpha Darrick had requested a peace alliance with her pack and she would be going there in person, I suddenly became interested in also having a peace alliance.When she had eventually showed up, I was initially thrilled to see her, I tried desperately to keep my face straight and void of any emotions. I didn't want her to see the depth of my longin
**Alpha Duncan Pov**I didn't reply immediately, I served myself wine from my cabinet before I slowly answered, “Come in, Bea.”The door opened and a young girl of about 18 walked in, she shared a strange bit of resemblance with Beatrice, Luna Red.In the following days after she left, I had been so disturbed, no other woman had me reacting to them the way Beatrice did.I felt lonely and disturbed, I momentarily forgot about my own problems. I dispatched a lot of my pack warriors to find her but there was no sign of her.I personally along side Cadence, my beta looked for her but it was to no avail. It was during that period that I met this girl, she was the same age as Beatrice, there were quite a few facial differences but they looked a lot like each other and what more, they shared the same name.I felt the moon goddess was playing tricks o
**Beatrice Pov**Under the scorching rays of the midday sun, our car sped along the dusty road, a mirage shimmering in the distance. Falon, his amber eyes glistening in the sunlight, gripped the steering wheel with determination. Beside him, I braced myself, the heat of the day intensifying the tension in the air as we journeyed back to our pack.As we continued on our journey, questions swirled within me like a desert sandstorm. My mind slowly replayed everything that had happened at the meeting. I had a lot of questions that I didn't know the answer to but yet I needed to have an answer for.The wind whipped through the open windows, carrying with it the scent of arid earth and distant vegetation. I gently inhaled the air which calmed me down, then I glanced at Falon, his brow furrowed in concentration, his strong hands guiding the car with precision.Feeling a gentle tap on my stomach, I smiled, my heart filled
**Alpha Duncan**I felt a wave of sadness wash over me as I watched her walk away. I knew that she was leaving for her pack. I also knew I had to let her go. I was proud of her for where she had but I also felt a deep sense of loss.I took a deep breath and squared my shoulders, sighing, I slowly turned away, feeling a bit empty inside.My mind was consumed by the image of Beatrice's graceful prowess on the training grounds. Her every movement, every strike and parry, ignited a fire within me, awakening a primal desire I couldn't easily suppress. The raw power she exuded, coupled with her unwavering determination, was a potent aphrodisiac that stirred my senses.As I walked back to the pack, my thoughts swirled with a heady mix of admiration and longing. My body responded to the memory of Beatrice's skill, and an undeniable hardness threatened to betray my desires. I discreetly adjusted himself, hoping to qu
**Alpha Duncan Pov**Red's territory…” the words slowly slid out of my mouth. How did I get here? The man walked in front of me and removed the red mask on his face revealing his real face to me.“Beta Falon, he's an intruder on our…” Damon put up his hand and the leader of the warriors stopped talking. Then he slightly bowed to acknowledge me, “Alpha Duncan, it's a pleasure to have you in our pack.”I was taken aback by the sudden turn of events. Beta Falon, a familiar face and a respected member of Red's pack, also Beatrice mate and the father of her baby stood before me, acknowledging my presence as Alpha Duncan.A wave of sadness struck my bones once more and then anger coursed through my bones. But I had to wave it aside, I couldn't be angry now."Beta Falon," I greeted him with a nod, reciprocating the respect he had shown. "I
Bianca stood by the hallways as she still listened in on the alpha, he sounded extremely furious at what had just happened as he cursed and swore He cursed Them both and all the gods imaginable in his speech. As Bianca listened in she could not help but feel she was doomed, with what just transpired she knew she would eventually be in trouble, she was in a dilemma, at first before both parties ended up the way they just did she thought about staying under the radar and waiting for whatever outcome, at first she deduced that Olivia would cave and run out of the valley allowing her to find a way to corner the alpha and either make him marry her or kill his off with a way to become Luna after his untimely death, it was a nice flow if that happened but then again she thought of the possibility of Olivia sticking with Royce and they both seek a full out war, she thought if that happens she would lay low and watch for both parties to kill each other and expose its losers and winners. It
BEATRICE POV Yes, yes we should let it slide and leave with our lives, how is this even a debate, can he not see a stupid revenge was not worth his life? “You just want to fight him because of your hunger for vengeance, you don’t care if this hunger of yours kills you or even me, I guess all is fair trade provided you win in the end” I shouted at him, this man has a way of always getting on my nerves, always! What I said seem to get to him, he fell quiet the moment i said it and I suddenly felt very bad, I know this was an argument and I am very angry but I never wanted to hurt him“Do you really feel I don’t care about you or if you live?” He suddenly asked, I know I just accused him of of that but if I am being honest I do not believe it, I know duncan, I know this man and I know he would rather die than watch anything happen to me, he just proved it some time back when he took a silver blade to his chest, then he did not know silver would not have a fatal effect on him and yet
BEATRICE OV This was not something to debate with myself over, I did not need to think if i wanted to stay and fight for justice and my position as alpha or if I wanted to take Duncan and leave, none of that mattered one bit, the only thing that mattered was the man by my side and I know that in a full out war there were no rules, everyone becomes a target, I can live with dying, I have done it before, it’s not that bad except the part of eternal regret but what I cannot live with is Duncan dying, i will never leave in a world that takes him from him, Duncan dying will shake me to my very foundation. At this moment I know adolf was manipulating me, you don’t need an expert to see what he was doing and what he aims to achieve with it but what he was using to manipulate me was very potent, it would not fail and he knew it. suddenly it all made sense “Is that why you insisted I come alone and not bring Royce ?” I asked him suddenly getting his odd request. At first I assumed he put
Bianca really hates it and wonders what everyone sees in her, why for some reason everyone wants her approval, she did not matter. She is just inconsequential, a spoilt brat that does things out of a wimp, the same one who ran away from the villa simply because she was bored, there were werewolves in the villa who would kill for the opportunity she has and yet, time and time again she has abused and thrown away such opportunities and yet they kept coming to her. what made her so special?Why can’t everyone see she does not deserve everything she has?why can’t they all see that?If there was anyone in the valley who deserves to be treated as a princess, begged in for opinion in issues that matters and should be worshiped by all men, it should be her not that stupid princess!Beatrice was just some brainless little princess that had no brain and maybe just a little beauty and yet the way she manages to awe and control those around her was just annoying and wrong. Now she has the two
Bianca could not believe what she was hearing, the way he was accepting to killing people, the choking sound, the claim of mind reading, everything was off, this has to be some practical joke on their parts, they know she was listening in on them, they have to, that is why they are talking and acting this way, that was the only explanation that made sense of not then everything was just wrong!!!! Earlier today the alpha had called Beatrice to his home office and had instructed her to tell the kitchen staff to cook meals of different delicacies as Beatrice would be coming over for dinner, furthermore she was instructed to dismiss them all after that while she was to stay behind and assist, naturally Beatrice went into panic mode, she suspected the alpha yelling her to stay behind as a guise of assisting had to be Beatrice doing; Bianca knew Beatrice knows about her attack on her life with that assassin debacle, she knew for a fact the attack came from her and she even confronted her w
Adolf knew he had no reason to lie, maybe he is ever a little bit but the bottom line is he is telling the truth, this really is a bummer. He cracked his head thinking of a way out but could not see one, his advantage was that, they did not want him dead rather wanted him to pay and rot in cell or probably a death sentence, but they wanted it done legally. That was his advantage while he on the other hand did not care about such things as due process, he was going to get the job done by any means possible. Right now he wants to offer them a bargain, he plans on using Duncan as the extra bargaining chip, and probably the most important one and he would use him to make them take his deal. If they do take this deal then he would be in the clear, there was no one else to challenge him, maybe just that person who is trying to kill Beatrice, but by all attack the unknown person seems to have eyes only for her but if by chance he clears this hurdle and the unknown person were to come for
Adolf was totally taken off guard by what had just happened to him, one moment he was speaking and smiling and the next moment he was choking on his on words. Adolf massaged his neck at the spot where he was just choked, it felt so real, almost like someone was really on top on him applying pressure to his neck, if not that he had his eyes open all along he would have sworn Duncan had attacked him and pressed his neck. Adolf have always know duncan was a magician or “forbidden” as it is called here, after all he was the one who stole him from his parents and country but he never suspected he had powers. When staying with the forbiddens he learnt a lot about them and their culture, and during that time he came to understand those powers as well as he realized that though all forbiddens are gifted in the art of spells and spoken magic but very very few had the ability to exhibit real magic emitting from within the individual. To get a handle of your magic they had to train right fro
BEATRICE POVI looked at him and simply nodded to him, he instantly understood what I meant by that as we put our hands into our pockets and fished out our mobile devices, we both switched it off and placed it in front of us on the table surface. HE smiled broadly at the act, pleased, I could tell he did not know how we would have acted to that his request as well and his behavior was one that seemed like he just wanted to talk honestly and openly without any body listening in or recording our talk, I am sure he did not want anyone listening in on what he had to say and the confessions he was would possible agree to He gestured for Bianca to come forward with his hand and she did promptly“Bianca, please take these devices and step out for a bit, we want to have a personal conversation together and when we are all done here I will call back for you” She nodded politely and stretched for our phones, taking it off the table before heading for the exit, we all waited patiently as she l
BEATRICE POVDuncan and I briefed melly on what was going on. We told her about what we think happened to May’s mother, and about the impromptu visit we just got and how we intend to honor the invitation, we then tasked her with the protection of May while we were gone. It was obvious that the alpha and his goons had no idea that May was still alive and even though I was certain of that, but in the off chance that we were wrong and this is just one deceitful plan to get Me out the way while the make another attack on May, so I knew that I could not let my guard down. I instructed her to lock the everywhere and stay indoors and no matter what happens she is not to open the door for anyone except Duncan and I and with how secure the house was not, it would be virtually impossible to come inside without those inside knowing about the intrusion. Those were the instructions I specifically gave and I was confident they would be fine but then again there is duncan. All my plans to subve
