“Zanthus.. “ she spoke in a hushed whisper if it wasn’t for his wolf hearing he would’ve missed it
He smirked feeling his heart swell at her saying his name but he still had to show her her place so she doesn’t disobey him“ you’re not allowed to call me by name yet . alpha king for you as well .” he said sternlyShe nodded understanding after all she wasn’t anyone special , she's a commoner in fact“ come sleep.” He ordered laying down on the comfortable luxurious furShe turned to face him “ I can’t .”“ why” he asked anger lacing his voice making her flinch“ it’s inappropriate for a lady to sleep with someone who’s not her husband .” she said softly trying to convince him .He nodded , “ okay , we'll do it your way .. you can sleep there “ he pointed to a little spot with white fur and she nodded.As she lay down she started thinking of what’s going to happen to her now that she’s with the strongest man alive, she heard cruel stories about him from elders and she didn’t like it one bit . she has to escape from here no matter what , also it’s her only chance now that she’s not far away from home she can reach her destination in few hours .
That’s it she'll escape when he’s asleep .
She waited for ages to hear his breath turn evenShe stood up carefully to not wake him up , and tiptoed to the entrance , she looked out to see soldiers awake guarding.Carefully she made it to the other side of the tent towards the forest , she was only ten minutes into the forest running as fast as she could when she heard his earth shaking growl, she fell on the floor shaking in fear but proceeded running for her freedom, she heard people running in the distance in an instant she felt her self pinned to the floor , she cried in both pain and fear .As he made her stand up , she went back to the floor because of the impact of his slap , blood oozed from her lips and she couldn’t stand up as she felt dizzy , he grabbed her hair “ you’re such a little fox , you’ll learn to never deceive me .” she cried in pain from the pressure on her scalp, five of his soldiers were behind along with his beta , he put her on his shoulder returning to his tent .“ she’s dead the poor creature.” Whispered one of the soldiers .
As he was about to get in his tent his beta called for him “ your majesty I beg you reconsider harming her. She’s a fragile human being you would easily break her .” spoke Sam“ what I do to my mate is none of your business Sam .”Wren couldn’t stop crying on his shoulder fisting his shirt’s fabric between her little fingers in terror .“ but alpha …” Sam went quite as he earned a glare from his alpha king .As he entered his tent he threw her on his fur bed earning a gasp of pain from her ..“ Never try escaping me again , NEVER, you are mine .” he roared as she flinched her eyes big and terrified like a deer.She felt him get on top of her , “ No .. no , no .. don’t .. please.” She tried to struggle under him but to no avail.
She felt his breath on her neck as she struggled under him , something sharp touched her neck as he licked a spot that made her throw voices out her lips against her will , then an ear piercing scream erupted from her lips , a scream of total pain , an unbearable pain , she went numb under him , she couldn’t move a finger all she did was look up shaking . he licked the blood oozing from his mark away to help her heal faster .“ the alpha king marked our Luna. “ spoke a soldier as the others nodded knowing what just happened.
He stood up looking at her little fragile form shaking , she couldn’t even cry , tears just rolled down the sides of her face silently , he crouched down turning her head slightly to see his work , he smirked , “ now you’re MINE officially. “ he spoke in arrogance ignoring her pain . his eyes fell on her bruised face from the slap . then he noticed she was sweating and her shaking turned rougher .. he touched her forehead than her cheek, she was cold , he touched her small hand and it was colder than ice .
“ Now I’m officially your mate it’s a must for you to sleep in my bed. “ he smirked laying down next to her .
Tears ran freely from her eyes she felt helpless , she couldn’t move , she was in so much pain , once conscious and once not .He embraced her little form between his strong arms as he covered her with his body supplying her with his heat.“ you’ll feel better soon , just sleep now .” he spoke his voice so deepShe went unconscious from all the pain she endured most of the night .. when morning came he checked her temperature and it was back to normal .He tried waking her up to eat , he looked down at his little mate sleeping helplessly under him , she looked so weak and fragile , the nasty bruise on her left cheek turned purple and the dried blood on her lips bothered him"wren, wake up , you need to eat little thing ." she tried opening her eyes, when she saw him next to her tears rolled down the sides of her face. She tried getting up but it was as if her body was glued to the ground. She cried silently her face showed how much pain she felt . " it's okay .. it's okay, you will heal soon . don't cry." , he tried wiping her tears away She shook like a leaf in fear and pain . He took her between his strong arms putting her on his lap .. she barely weighed , she was so light for him .. he called for a soldier to bring him breakfast.. as he came in his eyes fell on his pained Luna then he immediately looked down , he put his king's breakfast in front of him and bowed going out .Zanthus tried feeding her , but she couldn't .. she couldn't let the monster fees her , she refused . " don't make me feed you against your will wren you'll regret it ." still she didn't have it He shook his head , he put pressure on her jaw to make her open her mouth to e
She was getting bored.. she looked behind him to see soldiers talking together on their horses . So she looked to Sam next to her " sir, how longer it's gonna take ?" " around an hour or so Luna. " he responded " why are you calling me Luna?" she asked curious "because you're the alpha king's mate ." he informed " can you please explain what a mate is ?" she asked her curiosity pushing her forward " that's for his majesty to explain , I'm sorry Luna. " " oh , okay .." she looked down and disappointed Zanthus liked the fact that she's trying to understand what's around her , he found her cute. " can you please stop calling me Luna? I'm wren sir ." she spoke again making her mate growl this time, scaring her in the process . " nobody has the right to call you by your name beside me." He spoke harshly making her shake slightly " I'm sorry , don't hurt me ." she whispered "I won't ." he answered shortly Sam pitied her for what she's going to face once she gets in the castle..
It was morning she stood up to freshen up when she came out of the bathroom she found an angry looking alpha king “ did you get permission to leave my bed ?” he glared “ I’m .. sorry .. I didn’t think it through .” “ go help with breakfast, you'll get your punishment later .” As she didn’t move he looked at her in anger “ I don’t know where the kitchen is your majesty .” she spoke her voice so angelic and feminine “ a guard will lead you .. also you will clean all the dishes for your punishment .” She looked at him sadly, but he ignored her and his wolf along .. She moved towards the doors “ where do you think you’re going looking like that .” she looked down seeing her gown it was for sleep “ where can I find clothes .” He pointed to a huge room that was a closet .. she went in changing into a decent casual dress, then left with the help of a guard to the kitchens Many people were there doing chores “ good morning , I’m here to help with breakfast .” “ yes dear I got the
" do you .. have a library here ?" she asked looking like a kid .. he couldn't hold himself anymore he pinned her against the huge halls wall kissing the he'll out of her " you look so beautiful mate ." he said kissing her deeper .. she couldn't breath , they proceeded walking towards the library , she looked flushed and red from embarrassment .. suddenly her jaw dropped to the floor when she looked at the immense place they call library in this castle this could be her personal heaven . She looked up at him " can I come here often " " only if I'm with you " she nodded in frustration ...They were in the royal gardens now.. it looks like another heaven she'd like to visit but she already knows his response ." oh you majesty , there's a matter I want to tell you ." spoke the beta then looked at his Luna " you may have a little walk here ." spoke the alpha king and she nodded in excitement She was looking around her at all the beautiful roses and flowers when she felt someone pu
She gulped looking down as his masculine scent touched her nostrils .. “ did you eat ?” he asked “ n..no I still didn’t .” she looked everywhere but at him .. “ then we’ll eat together here , there’s no need to go down now .” he spoke seriously making her nod“ I .. I saw a .. group of wolves .. th..this morning.” She stuttered making him smirk “ and ..?” he asked shortly looking between paper work “ I .. I.. don’t know, there was this .. wolf , it was really scary and big I’ve never seen a creature that big .. is there wolves all the time out there?”“ of course , we're all wolves here except you.” He spoke giving her a glance she gulped “ I .. see .” she whispered “ are you scared?” he asked his voice so deep she shivered if he didn’t glance at her he would’ve missed it “ I.. mean I’m living with a different species it’s not so easy .” He nodded as food came , they sat and ate in silence but it wasn’t that uncomfortable silence , it was calm and soothing“ the mating ceremon
" don't .. it's weird I've never been touched this way ." she spoke as he gave her mark some attention Her dress went up her stomach , " shh let me enjoy what's mine ." he spoke pulling her hair away from her face " you look delicious baby girl, I want to eat you up ." " d..do you eat.. h..humans ?" she asked panicking making him chuckle. . " sometimes. " he looked at her amused . . . Tomorrow morning they woke up and got ready for their work . " you look stunning ." he commented " you too ." she smiled It was a long day ahead , they worked on royal cases until lunch then the alpha king had to go deal with the minister . She roamed around freely , but something caught her eyes , she saw a guy spying on a room so she decided to find out what he's doing , to her shock there was a maid changing her clothes inside the room , she hit his head making him gasp" what are you doing pervert .?" she yelled at him " how dare you hit a prince idiot ." he yelled back " how dare you sp
" how dare you talk back to me , if your mate didn't discipline you , then I will do it for him." She fired hitting her non stop"stop , God." Screamed WrenShe couldn't hurt an older woman, by the time she finished , wren was sure it will leave bruises" your grace , stop please , alpha king won't be happy about it ." begged a maid" if you dare tell him what happened today, I will kill you for sure , you still don't know me peasant ." threatened the woman leaving.Wren didn't move from the floor , she felt so worn out she didn't even want to move .. she cried herself until sleep took her on the carpeted floor ...He entered his chambers after a meeting that lasted three hours, he felt something wrong as his heart beats went stronger but he ignored it for the meeting was really important .He was about to sit on the couch when he saw his little mate on the floor, his heart sped its pace though he could hear her heart beats , he took her between his arms running towards his bed , he
Sleep took her away from the pain, so he put her on his bed to rest making sure she’s facing the sheets so she doesn’t get hurt , moving towards the huge windows looking at the forest with his hands behind his huge back , he looked like a hulk , so big and scary , he knew he had to protect his mate , but his mate won’t even stand the gentle him as his beta said . since the day she came he didn’t touch any other female , and he couldn’t touch her either , whenever he thinks about bedding her , he forgets about it when he looks at how fragile and little she is , he would break her for sure , he has to be extra careful when handling her .. she’s not a mistress he can kill with his rough handling to satisfy his beast , she’s his mate , his woman , he can’t harm her . “ she’s ours. “ spoke Zeamus his Lycan wolf He turned to look at her , his heart swelling at the thought of owning her everything , at the fact she’s his , at the fact that his little mate is sleeping on his bed , and the
9 years later 'oh for goodness sake Knox,' Sophia grumbled angrily, watching her mate stalk an 11 year old boy who had given their daughter Grace a rose from the gardens,'try Dante,' Venus scoffed, remembering how her mate had growled at a boy who called Athena pretty and complimented her dress, she remembered how she had to pull her mate to the side and give him a full scolding for being so overprotective,'at least you have one girl, I have two and a possessive crazy beta wolf to deal with,' Sophia grounded out, the couple now had another 3-year-old baby girl, she was the exact replica of her father but her features were soft, Nina, as Knox insisted they name her also had her fathers characteristics, 'where are they now,' Venus murmured, they were all out in the gardens, having a little picnic, their mates and kids had wandered off somewhere playing hide and seek, James and Gabriel said they would join them in a while because they had some work to do.'wow vee you've worked up
Searing pain gripped his entire being, his chest was heaving, his breath coming out in short uneven pants, and a vicious growl escaped his chest he felt like his lungs were on fire,he felt the bond break, and he felt his Lycan whine out in pain before he vanished, he heard screams around him but they fell deaf on his ears.Dante looked up, his vision blurry, all he saw was a nurse pulling the doctor back to the operation room, Knox trying to get him to stand up while James slipped to the floor unconscious.His senses were dulled out but the pain in his chest didn't, his head lolled back and rested against the wall, Sophia and Knox tended to him while Gabriel was with James, 'tell her to come back to me,' he rasped in pain, as Sophia gently cupped his cheek and cried, Knox's shoulders dropped in defeat, his friend just lost his everything, 'Dante please please get it together please, the babies-,' Sophia sobbed out, trying to get him to zone back in, gently shaking him but his eyes
2 weeks had passed since that incident, the air between the alpha and luna was tense but even a fool could tell they'd die for each other in a heartbeat, when problems would arise they'd put their differences aside and be there for each other to the fullest, because that was what love meant, to hold onto each other even when the storm is at its loudest, threatening to rip them apart.'i swear he's so dumb like its right behind you,' James screeched angrilyVenus giggled and continued to munch on her snacks while Sophia shook her head at them, they were watching a new show that Gabriel had suggested, and anything Gabriel suggests is always a must-watch,'i feel like the girl is the killer for some reason,' Venus muttered, she was due in a week and today of all days she felt better, she had the energy to sit at least and not feel like she was about to pass out every few minutes,they were waiting for the healer to arrive to give Venus her potion, Dante, Knox, and Gabriel were in the r
1 month later'stupid protective Lycan,' venue huffed angrily stuffing her 4th pancake in her mouth and chewing on it like she had all the time in the world,it's like the man didn't even know what space was, he was always after her, heck this morning he decided he wanted to carry her down the stairs after Venus had grounded out a firm no, the stubborn lycan picked her up and sauntered down the staircase.her angry outburst fell deaf on his ears, she was going to be round and fat in a week if this kept up, she was only two months along and he was acting like this, the thought of how he would be when she was a few months pregnant from now made her shudder.The first few weeks were hectic with the checkups and always being careful but she had now learned to get used to it.James and Sophia would visit every second day and they were also very protective of her, it wasn't only a friend thing but she was the luna carrying the future heir, so the protectiveness therein doubled.'hey soph,'
Venus woke up to blinding white lights, white walls, a hospital bed, and a very very fuming Dante who was watching her like a hawk, ready to pounce her, the pack doctor standing right beside him giving Venus a sheepish smile.'w-what happened?' venus asked, her throat parchedsilently Dante walked towards her, filled up a cup with water, and had her drink it, the pack doctor cleared his throat and looked up at venus smiling, 'congratulations luna, you're pregnant,'silence,silence so loud venus could hear her heart beating wildly out of her chest, blood roaring in her ears,'how long-''you're almost over a month pregnant now,' the pack doctor replied, sensing his alpha's heated gaze which he couldn't meet so he excused himself, saying he had to bring some tests back from the lab.a heavy eerie silence enveloped the room and venus could have sworn that the door Dante was glaring at would catch fire any second, or he would glare a hole through it.'say something,' Venus whispered mee
A month had passed since Knox and Sophia had their beautiful daughter and things had been going smoothly other than the fact that rogue sighting had increased a lot, this would happen every few years, rogues would reproduce amongst themselves a lot and they'd try getting into pack territory.the warriors would chase them off the territory but they wouldn't stop coming back, they wouldn't attack but they'd move around. Dante had been in contact with neighboring pack alphas to know that they were dealing with a similar situation, and dealing with all of that as well as trying to find an effective solution to the problem was had Dante busy for weeks straight, Knox would help now and then but he was mostly at home with the baby and Sophia which doubled work on Dante and Gabriel.it was after dinner that Dante and Venus finally got an hour to themselves, a soft kiss from Venus soon turned passionate and ended up with them making love right next to the fireplace in the living room,'i mi
'ARE YOU KIDDING ME KNOX,' Sophia screechedAll those wondering what happened, Sophia and Knox invited everyone over for dinner, Venus, Dante, James, Gabriel, and a few other friends of Knox and Sophia, long story short, right after dinner Venus and Sophia were messing around in the kitchen while getting desert, and Venus may or may not have jump scared Sophia which caused her water to break...it was complete havoc, to say the least.Sophia was actually a week overdue, so she wasn't surprised when her water broke, the heavily pregnant blonde was as calm as the sea but the same couldn't be said for her big mate who was knocking over chairs and decoration pieces in a rush to get the baby bag and zip Sophia to the hospital,frustrated at how her mate was sweating, INSISTING he carried her and actually swooping her up into his arms without waiting for her reply, acting like she was dying, Sophia had enough.'Knox,' Sophia seethed, trying to grab a hold of him,the big man paid no heed t
He had to find her, passing a look to Knox to take over the meeting he shifted and lunged across the room, he had to get to her.'Venus, baby where are you' he tried mind linking her but he got no response at all 'don't go anywhere and stay where you are' Pushing his legs faster he ran like his life depended on it, and it did, his life did depend on it,reaching the middle of the dense forest he tried finding paw-prints but found none, angling his head up he breathed in deeply, he found what he was looking for, her scent.Running in the direction the scent led him, after two minutes of constant running he came across a ledge, his heart sunk, this is where her scent ended and she wasn't here she coul- no no she couldn't, trying to calm his Lycan and himself, so lost in his inner battle of where his mate could be and if she was okay or not he wasn't aware of his surroundings and heart a twig snap to his right,jerking his head towards the side he stepped closer to the bushy area, ca
'what do you mean I won't be able to have pups?' Venus whispered in disbelief, her honey-brown eyes wide with unshed tears, as her lower lip trembled and the color in her cheeks heightened from the internal hysteria her body was feeling.Dante sighed and went to sit next to her on the bed, 'Venus, despite the fact that you have alpha blood running in you doesn't make you strong enough in regards to carrying my pup, I am a Lycan, a full lycan, not one part of me is a werewolf, a Lycan pregnancy is very different, its very painful and the mother has to be a lycan to be able to withstand and birth a healthy lycan pup, in this regard you cannot give birth Venus, I'm sorry, I can't stand the thought of losing my mate in the process of giving me pups, I refuse to put you through that.''b-but Sophia and Knox- e-even he was afraid to have pups but everything is oka-' Venus said in manic, her voice trembling as if trying to convince herself and Dante it would work,Dante sensing her panic
