Chapter 1: The Vixen

Riona POV

"Strip her!"

I heard the high priest dressed in raven command two servants wearing a beige one-piece with a rope belt tied in a square knot. They immediately went towards me as I moved back gripping the hem of my shirt. I was wearing simple faded jeans and a loose black shirt my mom had chosen every time I went out of our ordinary abode.

"Please, don't!" I uttered in a soft tone they could hardly hear.

But a growling stare had met my begging eyes instead. I tried to struggle as I moved further till my back felt a cold wall. I had nowhere to go now!

"Lady, you should be honored. The Alpha King chose you so stop complaining and don't make our job stressful!" one of the servants holding my shoulder ranted.

"You are not in command to speak. Always remember, that woman is going to be the heir's mother. Don't let me repeat that!" the high priest roared, it made the servant bow in humiliation but I could see from the corner of her eyes her terrifying glare directed at me.

"Hurry up! Remove her clothing. Make sure she's clean!"

Upon receiving the high priest's authoritative command, the two servants tore my clothes off. My lips twitched in pain. I had no idea what the pain was. Was it from the impact of ripping my shirt as it created tiny scratches to my skin or from the truth that tonight would be the start of my nightmares...if I would not escape!

Escape from the hands of the ruthless alpha and his loyal followers.

"Be careful! She must be as clean as an immaculate!" I heard the whisper of the other servant whom I thought was a bit tamer.

Till they removed the last piece that covered my innocence, I sobbed in silence as I tried my last luck of plea of which I was aware it wouldn't be granted.

"Please! Stop it!"

"Close your eyes! You are not allowed to look at her!"

The servants weren't allowed to stare at my nakedness but she was. How I wished I could disappear that day. I hugged myself as beads of tears continued to fall on my cheeks. I shut my eyes and pursed my lips cursing this day that I went to the rice field.

"Here! Put this on!"

I opened my eyes and saw the high priest stretching her hands. Upon seeing a white dress, I immediately took it and covered my bareness. As I glanced at the two servants who were bowing in front of me while their eyes were still closed, I couldn't help but tremble.

"Make her presentable. The Alpha King is arriving in an hour!"

The high priest uttered before she left us and locked the arch-shaped wooden door.

Matthew POV

In the middle of the day, I was with a woman. I had just lunch with her but our drinks weren't really juice or soft drinks. We had wine. As a result, we went to my mansion legs were both wobbling like broken furniture.

I scowled at the wench whose hands were like a snake wrapping my neck. This was just one of those days...

I, Matthew Moore, a cursed wolf from the Blue Moon Pack. I was exiled when I was ten along with my uncle, Baron, the once loyal subject of the former Alpha King, my own father.

I held the wooden handrail of my grand staircase while my hand clutched the fabric of the woman's dress. I didn't wanna hold her waist or her shoulder. I never wanted this woman to have a misunderstanding of what kind of relationship we had.

For me, it was a plain business. No intimacy at all!

The same as the women I bedded in the past. I once took my glassy orbs to the woman whose wanton eyes were glued to me. A smirk suddenly emerged on my cold face. While sternly staring at her, grid photos of my past were slowly outlining in my head.

Six!

I was six when my father discovered my curse. I wasn't born this way. I was my dad's favored son. I had a brother. A half-brother actually!

My stepmother came into our life a year after my mother, Queen Luna, passed away from an unknown illness. She changed everything in the kingdom including my mom's simple recipe for the royal family.

I knew the moment she stepped into the grand ballroom hall with her red bareback dress as my father took her hand for a dance on the night of his birthday, my life would change. It would gradually change. But I had no idea that change was dreadful for when I turned ten, I was banished when the high priest announced to everyone at dinner,

"The Alpha King's heir curse is a threat to our pack. His cure can only be found in the human world!"

At that time, my stepmother was already carrying his seed, the next in line to the throne.

My banishment created a battle between the elder council and the beta which happened to be my stepmother's family. My Uncle Baron fought for my right to stay but for the sake of the safety of the pack, my father had to follow the elders in the kingdom.

I scoffed upon recalling that sickening childhood life I had. I thought the woman beside me heard my scornful reaction as she whispered in my ear.

"Matthew, we're here!"

I didn't even notice we're now in front of my room. As my two bodyguards stood straight in between my door, I nodded giving them a Go Sign!

As the door swung open, I pushed the woman inside and she almost fell to the ground. Then I glanced at my bodyguards, and with authority, I told them.

"Stay foot!"

"Yes, Master!" they replied in unison as they bowed.

I went in like my inner beast looking straight at his prey. The woman giggled as she climbed onto my king-sized bed. She began removing her dress, slowly while biting her lip. I wasn't even pleased.

"Woman, you disgust me!" I exclaimed making her blushing cheeks turn beet red.

A screeching of a broken zipper caught her attention as she dragged her lustful orbs down to my abs. I could see she's ready. Ready to meet my wolf.

As I positioned myself on top of her, the business had begun!

Till...

"Ahhhh!"

"What the h*ck?!"

Right to my back. I felt something heavy drop from the ceiling. No! From the sky perhaps. As I glared at that 'thing' on my shiny wooden floor, my burning turquoise sight went wide and wild.

"Another vixen?!"
