Nina's POV “I can’t believe this” I muttered as tears began to pool in my eyes. He sighed and looked away.Marcus was hurt when I told him Amelia had died. I apologized fot not coming to the meeting because I was too hurt. Too hurt to think about anything other than my pain. I had lost a friend. And no one was going to help us.“I wonder why Alpha Knox didn't come?” I said.“you are his mate. He should be running in now” he said turning back to stare at me. I couldn’t hold it all in as I sobbed quietly. No one cares about me. Even the fee that did either died or are suffering. I thought of Lilith. I might never get to meet her again.Few minutes passed and when my cries had been reduced to just sniffs, he cleared his throat.“There’s more bad news?’ I glared at him and he nodded.“Then out with it” I snapped. The moment I did, I felt worse. This man was not to blame for anything but I felt angry. Enough with the pain.“I’m sorry” I muttered but he stopped me with a wave of his hand
Nina POV The night was windy, cold and foggy. My Dad drove through the mountain road, flickering a glance at my mom, brother and me at intervals."It's Christmas time, honey. What should we get for the season?" My mom asked with a bright smile that unmatched my dad's indifferent frown.He was troubled. The weary look in his eyes blended well with his frown which my mom didn't notice."Let's get a chocolate fountain, Mom," my twin brother Kyle beamed. We were just six years old and almost coming of age for the mating ceremony.It was today and we were going to the venue. There was a rumor about us being the gifted twins in a prophecy of doom. And at the age of six, we would find our mates.My mom saw it as a blessing but it was a curse to my father. However, they both showered us with unconditional love and promised to protect us regardless of the prophecy following us behind.Dad took a turn, slowing down his speed as he reached the gateway."Honey, did you bring the tow ticket? I th
Nina POV The cage master began to act foolishly under the Alpha's murderous gaze. Even I couldn't stand his presence.He was known as the terror of darkness. An Alpha with a curse of the battlefield. Some said he was a legend handmade by the moon goddess herself.Rumor also has it that he was a god, heir of the underworld Lord. The devil himself. His presence alone was able to make a violent man tremble like a wet puppy. I closed my eyes to avoid his dark absorbing gaze. It was against the rule of the pack for a slave to behold the face of the Alpha.With my eyes closed, I could sense his intimidating steps stop in front of my weak bloody body. "Roger, slit his throat," the alpha command with a deep voice that made my body shudder in fear."My Alpha, please I can explain... the slave disturbed the peace of the cell with her nose and I disciplined her according to the cell rules." The cell master quivered as he spoke.But that was the end of him. I heard the slushing sound of his t
Nina POV The Alpha's threat sent bile up my throat. He squeezed the air pipes by the side of my neck, strangling me with the intention to snap my bone. I panicked, shaking under his grip begging for my life. "Please let me live. I fulfill my purpose to you until the day I die and will forever be your vessel." I managed to say and earned my freedom from his grip. He pushed me to the ground and moved away from where I fell. I held my neck coughing and struggled to steady my breath. Everywhere was still dark like the pit of hell. There is no doubt that he must be the prince of hell judging from the kind of place he was living in. I guess I would never see daylight again because of my new purpose as his vessel. "Do you know what it is to be a vessel?" His asked with a terrifying voice. "No." "A worthless slave without a wolf. You can't even be classified as an omega. Yet you were chosen to be a vessel to contain a curse." _A curse?_ I was sanctified to carry a curse? Can my
Alpha Knox POV She talks a lot especially for someone whose blood I had drained half. Her voice keeps whispering things non stop. She doesn't know that I hear every single thought of her. I can't count the number of times she has labeled me as the devil's heir since her arrival into my room. Even though she called me such a name, I was glad that she feared me. Every single living being on earth should be afraid of me, worship me and die by my hands. It was the only way for them to survive under my reign. _What kind of awful Alpha would lock himself in a dark room?_ _Here needs some light._ _Forget it. He is bound to darkness forever. It's a pity that he would never understand what it feels like to be surrounded by light_ These were her thoughts and every single one of them irked me. If not for her purpose as my vessel, I would have killed instantly. But that would cause me eternal years full agony. I was cursed with a darkness that brought nothing but pain due to a prophecy
Nina POV The next day was different. After the Alpha left his room yesterday, he didn't return and I stayed the whole night alone.I was glad that he didn't return and used it as an opportunity to gaze at the night sky. This might sound crazy but I feel safer here as a vessel than living in a rusty breeder cage. At least, I got to wear soft and clean clothes. Sitting by the window sill, I gazed at the sky scattered with white clouds. I finally got to see it after years of being trapped in a cage.A knock sounded on the door, disrupting my line of thought.I grew weary presuming it was the Alpha at the door. But when I unlocked the door, a beautiful tall woman with a slender figure and red hair stood before."So it is true. Knox is harbouring a girl in his room," she said with a surprised expression as she stepped into the room.I backed away from her frightened by her presence. She scrutinized me up and down, circling my body until she was done with her observation."What is your n
Alpha Knox It was another ridiculous mating ceremony. Even though the celestial servant had proclaimed the arrival of my mate, I had no interest in mating and marking a pretentious slut as my Luna.No woman was worthy of standing by my side. And if tonight, the moon goddess gives me a worthless woman as a mate, I will reject and go as far as killing her in front of everyone.That is a promise. I strode into the dining room where other members of my family were present. Their smiles died down as I joined them at the table."Good morning, Alpha Knox. You are up early. I guess you are excited about tonight's mating ceremony," my mother said with an awkward smile."Excited? I am more than delighted," I muttered, matching her pretense.She smiled then turned her attention to her brother. After that, no one spoke to me not even my siblings.They were like outsiders to me. Each of them held a grudge against me. It never bothered me because I loved the malice.It made it easy for me to cut t
Nina POV _no, it can't be him._ He cannot be my mate. I ran as fast as I could but my race was short lived when he subdued me with his strength."What? A slave is my mate!" He growled in surprise.Exactly, a slave cannot be mated to an alpha. But the bond I felt towards couldn't tell a lie. He was going to reject me, that was certain. However, the smirk that turned up in his face said otherwise."I guess you are bound to be my vessel for the rest of your life. I will gladly accept the moon goddess's gift," he mused, grabbing my arm and pinning me against the oak tree.I fought against him, trying to break free from his grip. But he was too strong for me to handle."Don't fight it, mate. You are mine," he declared.His eyes turned to a bright red as his side teeth extended, revealing his beast side. I knew what he was about to do and dreaded the outcome of his plan.Without mercy, he bit down on my neck, marking me as his Luna.I screamed and felt a strange sensation pass through my

Marcus's POV Pacing the end of the hall I looked up to the VIP section. Your Highness was yet to come out. I was sure the party was over but she was nowhere to be found. Even maximus and seven Hawkins had left the venue but I couldn't find her. Was she found? Overwhelmed with worry I began to go up the VIP section. “hey you! “Someone yelled behind me. I froze but I kept going. I just wanted to reach the end of the VIP section. I just wanted to know if anyone was still up there. I hoped she had not been killed or something. “are you hard of hearing! I said stop! “The voice was harsher and closer. I immediately stopped. “turn around “the voice behind me ordered. I took in a deep breath and slowly turned. “Marcus?”It was the chief of the bodyguards. I breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness it was him. This will be easy to get out of. “Hey chief” I laughed nervously. “What are you doing up here?” His eyes roamed the room behind me. I looked down and sighed. “ Is anything wro
Nina's POV The music was soft, slow glowing around as I watched people walk around me like a furniture. I was on attendance to this event because Maximus had upgraded me from a maid to a Luna in waiting. The jealousy I have received in just few minutes of arrival, were humongous to count. Everywhere I looked, there was someone glatong my way. Maximus had thrown a ball in celebration of his success in the siege of the Femwood pack. I stood by watching the banished lunas comfortable in the midst of their enemies. They engaged I. Silly conversation on which guard from the blue moon pack was the most handsome. Spine less women. While they stay and smile like buffoons, maids were in the back slaving all through. Disgust filled my belly and I was this close to vomit. As I sipped on my drink, I felt some sort of unease all over me. I knew someone was looking at me. I could see them the lady at 6’oclock with ugly looking wig. The woman at the door with a hideous make you to cover her ins
Nina's POV “Don't touch me!” I barked. They didn't heed to my words as they threw me into the room. One of the guards stared me in the face and shoved me harder than expected. I landed in my butt. “Owwww” I yelped. “Stay here and don't come out!” He growled. The moment they left me alone in the room, I began to pace. I felt like a butterfly put in a bottle. Just then I opened my hands and there was crumbled up pain in it. I arched an eyebrow. What was this? I didn't recall having to get a paper on my way here. Slowly I unwrapped thr crumbled mess and began to read. And I did that countless times, till my eyes became blurry. It read. Meet me at the water fall tonight, if you want to get out of here alive. I froze. What was this? Was it that guard that shoved me? I read it again. The more I read, the more anxious I became. A part of me wanted to meet him. “I’m sorry your highness, I didn’t mean to do that” she begged. I raised a hand. “Its okay” she nodded. She was packi
Nina's POV My mind was a market place. My thoughts had been consumed by the dream I had last night. If that dream was true, it meant I had two mates. And if I were to choose, I’ll choose Alpha Knox. He was not as manipulative as Alpha Maximus. But the mark on my body meant Knox was my only mate. I was cleaning the room where I had slept in last night, when a maid ran into the tent. “Nina! Nina!” “What?” “Something bad is happening!” She pulled me out of the tent and we ran to a place that were crowdes with people. Even though I was just a maid here, people knew me to be a story of justice leader. Freedom fighter. “This girl deserves to die!” Maximus growled and the young girl began to weep. “Please have mercy your highness” she cried. I turned to the maid.” What did she do?” I whispered. “She used the walkway reserved for the alpha” my eyes widened. She nodded. That was the biggest crime as a maid. A lower person in a pack. We sometimes do this but no body told on anyone.
Nina's POV I had thought that Knox would be here any minute but the longer I waited, the more clear it was that Knox was not coming back for us. Maximus the 2nd in command of this unlawful seige had not stopped looking at me lustfully. Where ever I went, his eyes followed me. His superior Stephen hawking was all about Killin people who didn't adhere to his rooms. That night as I slept, I was scared. Scared that Amelia must have died before she sent in the news. Scared that no one was actually come to save us. I tossed and turned in bed until I finally slept and fell into a dream. ******************************************************** As l walked to his house, I had sweat dripping down my armpit and hands. I had never been this nervous. I thought of what will become of me if Maximus vented his anger on me. I knew it wasn’t in my place to interfere but I just couldn’t sit back and watch her be killed. I just couldn’t. It wasn’t her fault to pay. She he was a child who knew not
Knox's POV I stared at her and then at the gun. My mind was going through a lot. If only I could get close enough. I could do it. I could get the upper hand, so long my hands were free, there was a chance. Arya dared not try to bind me. She knew I could smash her. “Stop looking at me like that!” Arya barked. I stared at her deadpanned. I wasn't afraid. Not at all. What I felt was rage. Bone deep rage. The person facing me was small. Arya was petite. It took nothing to crush her. “Who put you up to this Arya?” I asked. “Stop talking!” I stayed still and walked to the bed. “Where are you going Knox? Stay at a spot! Or else I'll shoot you” I smirked at her. “ You can call me by my name.” “I'm no longer that 7 year that played hode and seek with your family” My lips quirked up into a half smile. “ Oh really? So who are you now?” Her hands moved fast to the trigger. “Shut up Knox, you aren't the one in charge here. You will not tell me what to do or say” I nodded. Still smil
Knox's POV A feeling of unease washed over me as I watched the people converse with each other. Why was I here again? It was Madam Lafayette. She had insisted I visit the human side and celebrate with my brother on his marriage. No he wasn't getting married to a human. Those weaklings made my blood boil. I just don't get why they call themselves the most intelligent beings. Vincent, my brother was getting married to a fellow werewolf he had met here. He said he didn't want to come back home or anything. Someone tapped me and I turned. “Hey brother” Vincent smiled. “Hey baby bro” I smiled back. “You made it” he said. I opened my arms and pulled him in for a hug. “Yes I did” a memory comes to mind. Of one Madam Lafayette was goaring at me when I said I wasn't gonna come. I released him and looked into his eyes. Vincent hasn't changed a bit. Not physically though. Vincent, the youngest of my siblings was the kindest amongst us. He had what wolf's call a weak heart. Thry woul
Nina's POV My face went red with embarrassed and decided not to tell anyone against but Chief bodyguard Edward. Just as I looked ahead, I saw Declan from afar. I stood up to run but he caught me. “You can’t keep running from me” he smirked as he tightened his grip. Just as he was about to open his mouth, a punch came from no where and landed on his face. It was his father. I couldn’t be happier. I followed the chief guard into his office, afterwards. “So what were you about to tell me?” he asked. Just as I was about to open my eyes, I saw something and immediately a tear slipped down my cheek. “Its of no use. They are already here.” ******************************************************** Suddenly I could hear blasts. I ducked my head under the table as my heart began beating fast. “Do you hear that?” Chief guard Edward asked Me and I nodded, shaking my head more than the required. The sound was so loud, I bet even the deaf could hear. I had known they would attack us but
