Victoria Stephens
I stare over the three men in the kitchen. One was smoking, the other one was drowning himself with coffee and the last was busy wiping his blades. Always busy wiping his blade. They look ridiculously hot in the morning yet; they are more than that. These men are scorching hot and dangerous. Dangerous enough to end my life right now.
If I hadn’t known them as cruel, I would have escaped and fled through the wide-open doorway at my back but I know better, didn’t I? No matter what I do right now, my scent will always lingers to Alpha King and he will quickly haunt me down in just using that because he fucking claimed me as his.
I still can’t over the fact that he claimed me as his mate without hesitation or without a warning. Was that even normal? Was he even normal?
But then, they weren’t. No one on us is normal enough to the naked eyes of the community. Each one of us shares darkness that we wish to
Victoria StephensMy head is killing me, almost like I wanted to vomit out of everything that comes out of my mouth. I can feel them staring struck right into me. Like the first time that I realized what was written in the journal, these three alphas, although they claimed that they are the most powerful alpha’s that has ever lived seem to be shocked as they can be. As anyone can be.Witnessing what was happening on the pack was one thing but knowing what my father was planning all along was everything. Every darkness and cruelness drips over his journal.I was just finished telling them everything and my throat is aching. My body burns out of the darkness that came out of my vein, not accepting how much stain of blood was on my hand. I wonder if it can be washed, but my father made sure that it wasn’t even an option. No washing of hands from the sins that my family has committed for the past years that he reigns.If the Tri-Alph
Alpha KingI hadn’t left for a battle worrying for someone. Heck, I didn’t even care about someone other than myself. And yet, here I was feeling anxious because my little mate was back in that house, all alone.After she gave me the coordinates, Alpha Riley decided to visit an old friend but it entails us one thing, to not bring anyone unless. This friend is like the oldest alpha that has ever lived and just gone. Vanished. However, Alpha Riley discovered him before and he was useful for providing information and history that no one knows other than those who are still alive to tell.“ You seem to be anxious, Alpha King. Worrying about her?” Alpha Zac taunted making me halt on my steps.I turned around and saw him smirking. “ Yeah, who the fuck leaves their hostage all alone?”“ She’s your mate,” he pointed out.“ And so?”Staring at him, I always wonder
Alpha King“You’re not my father,” I said, hardening my stare.He scoffed and throw the apple away, wiping his mouth with the back of his hands before laughing at me. At me.“ Aw. That hurts, little king,” he mocked before I felt his fast movements and the next thing I knew, I was being pinned down on the ground, face-first with his knee on my back to keep me still.None of us moves, I tried to look up and saw nothing but bewilderment in the two alphas' face. He was fast enough to pin me down like a wind flowing in a millisecond. That’s how accurate his speed was.I plastered a rather impassive glare and looked at him but it only made him furious enough to drive down more of the weight from his knee, pinning me more.“ You better show respect, young alpha. This is still my territory and you’re still my son,” he scoffed before kicking me one more time and walking away.All I can do
I snarled. “ Are you following me?” I said, feeling betrayed. There is no way that they know about Victoria Stephens rejecting me the first time because that happened at Howard’s house. And they are busy with something that day.“ Nope, Victoria can talk, Alpha King.” Alpha Riley chuckles which only made me more furious. “ Victoria can talk.”Without blinking, I felt rushed and punched the body of the tree, causing my fist to bleed because of the force. All of the violence kept my head pounding into nothing but an absolute bliss of anger.Damn it. Just damn it.If she can talk to them about how she fucking rejected me that night, I don’t know what to feel other than betrayal. Victoria Stephens surely knows how to make me hate her and have this desire to punish her. All I wanted now was to go home and confront her for it. Ask her why the fuck was she blabbering about that and if she’s proud enough to te
VICTORIA STEPHENSAll I can do is wait for them to return while looking over the dishes I've prepared for all of us. Alpha Zac threatens me not to go, claiming that it is only because I am here that I am alive, despite all of the ongoing hostilities outside of these forests. Instead of lamenting my independence, I spent time learning to cook and eat their favorite dishes.The whole mate thing is starting to stick with me. I felt myself pulled to Alpha King's vibe at times. Every darn time, a need and want to be with him resurface. I realized that the entire mate issue is both vital and unpleasant at the same time.When I heard the creaking sound of the rear door, I turned around and was intrigued when Alpha Zac came peering before he stopped in the center. I'd like to say he was entranced by me, but I suspect I'm mistaken.Nonetheless, he assumes walking until he arrives to the table and simply stares at the food. Alpha Rile
He smirked as he gave him one last look. "We're not going there," he whispered, cautiously. It made me furrow my brow. I never imagined we'd get there; all I wanted was for him to unwind. "I simply want you to relax," I said quietly, still asking that he remove his shirt. He huffs a little giggle and grabs his shirt from behind his shoulders, tugging it over his head, his hands twitching with the force he used. When my palm cascaded down over his broad shoulders, causing my flesh to flame alongside his, he moans deeply. I didn't hesitate to hold him, despite the fact that my skin itches with anxiousness as I palm his skin. "We're not doing anything past this, Victoria," Alpha King panted, but he didn't pull my hands away from him. Instead, he sits back down on my lap and relaxes against my touch. We don't talk. We didn't say anything. For a little period, all I could hear were heartbeats and panting. Nothing but the loud rush of the wi
Alpha King“ Relax, I really want to sleep,” I muttered to her when my gaze found her all tense on the edge of the bed. She looks like she’s hesitating to move closer into the bed that’s why I took the opportunity to grab her by her waist and lift her up before tugging her closer to my chest.All I can hear is her heartbeat, or maybe it was mine. The thing is ever since that I claimed her as my mate, my heart is only beating for her and her only. And I was a shit for feeling something like that.Is this what Alpha Ryder wants to tell me when he said that claiming her as my mate was my biggest mistake? But it wasn’t something that is associated with blood. Her blood, to be specific.Aside from the shallow feeling of watching the old man dies in front of me, a hole was left in my mind thinking what he meant by his words. And I guess, I have no one to answer me anymore. Alpha Ryder live a long life enough to be use
“ Y-You…what..” Her lips trembled as she realized her mistake. No matter how much I tried to look back from our conversation earlier, I can never think of anything that will make her do this.I pull my upper body over the edge of the bed. The fabric that covers us earlier flows freely on top of me.She laughed, hysterically while I remain looking at her. At this point, I don’t know what to feel anymore. Am I annoyed? Angry? Or maybe, I don’t know. The pain of losing the old man was enough for me to let my guard down and this woman take advantage of that.I offered my hand. “ Give it back,” I instructed, not feeling the need to confront her. Part of me wanted to put her in place but I am still mourning and having her blood over my hands tonight, with the same hands that hold the old man’s, is such a disaster.All I wanted was to truly rest with her.Victoria shakes her head. “ You’ll gonna
“ Is this what you hope for us, little wolf?” I felt Alpha King asked behind me, his large arms embracing my waist as he sways our body into the tone of his hum.I cannot answer but instead I let him sway our body into his tone. “ It’s peaceful,” I choke on my own words.It’s sunrise. Every day, he’ll wake up and stare at the sun rising as if he longs for something. The only thing that can console me is to be with him when the sunrise came. Because, just then, I can feel his love as pure as it was. I can feel him whole, and undivided by our past.I nodded and smile against his touch. Alpha King never disappoints when it comes to his sweet gestures. He lives to fulfill his word of drowning me with his love because I do. I do drown in the way how he showers me with his unending love.But sometimes, it made me hold my breath to survive. And most of the time, it suffocates me.Just being with Alpha King behind
" You left, Alpha King. I saw you glancing at us, but you left. You fucking left knowing that we might get killed on that day," Alpha Riley shouted as he pushed me to the ground.All I can do is groan and accept his anger. It's true. I left them in the middle of the war thinking of chasing a life in peace. Fuck peace. I don't think anyone hated peace as much as I hated it.I was wrong chasing a peaceful life. I was so fucking wrong.Alpha Riley groans. " Get out!" He shouted, shoving me away. " Get the hell out of my face and don't ever come back. You ruined the tri-alpha. Alpha King, you didn't fail yourself. You failed us," he said.Fuck. I never knew Alpha Riley's words were as sharp as this.I chuckle to myself and nod. " You're right. I failed the tri-alpha. I ruined us. That's why I'm here to fix us, right? I wanted us whole again."" No," he scoffs, shaking his head. " The Tri-Alpha will never
I nod.My heart felt every remorse, pain, and all the emotions that I had never felt in my entire life as I accepted her words.Victoria Stephens remains staring at me. I can see blood in her eyes, in her hands, and everything about us right now doesn’t define a peaceful life.Heck.I never lived a peaceful life. All I did was to fight, to survive and shed blood because I was told to. When I was young, my father never raises war for me, he seeks for it and sends me to get killed. It’s his mission to get me killed because having two sons with the urge to dominate is nothing but a curse.He plans to kill. That I know of. Every damn time that he sends me to war, he wishes for me to not return and just die but I didn’t. It took him long enough to realize he couldn’t kill me. And so, he blatantly favors my brother, Lourde to be the alpha next in line.That’s the main reason I left our family.However, I cannot
Victoria Stephens We’re made of darkness. Each one of us is dark in our own way and we all know about that. We recognize our darkness just as how we recognize how the world could be. None of us tried to hide it. We embrace each other’s darkness as we tried to supply each other’s greed. The tri-alpha is greedy for power, to the kingdom, and to dominate while I am only greedy for one thing. I am greedy with Alpha King. I won’t deny it. I only want him for myself and sometimes it felt like him being the executioner fails him as my mate. And so, In the middle of the war, I held Alpha King’s hand. I don’t know if I’m selfish or maybe I’m cold for doing this but I had to. Alpha King wants me to live and I want to live with him. Everyone is busy surviving so why can’t we think of surviving too? If being selfish is what it takes to be alive, I am going to be selfish for us to live. I wanted to live with him. I wanted to live wi
Alpha King’s POV “What if we’re in the middle of the war? Will you leave them and be with me instead?” I glare at her and shove down her coffee to shut her up. Alpha Zac and Alpha Riley are checking some things in our alliances and I opted to spend time with my mate. Yeah, this mate thing is fucking hilarious. I felt like I cannot function a day without seeing her face. Maybe, Alpha Ryder is right. Claiming her is the worst thing that I did because right now, I can’t even focus. Fuck. I should be in the middle of the war, searching for things to make us one step ahead of Alpha Vladimir and his evil plans but I can’t. All I can think about is Victoria Stephens. All I can care about is her. Did she eat? Did she escape my room and found her way back into the streets? Did she try to leave me again? I don’t think I can last a second in the war thinking of her like that. I love her. That’s why I claimed her. Heck. My love for her only
“ H-How! How the hell are you alive?!” Alpha Seymour shouted as I look through my tears and found my mate, Alpha King’s eyes staring at me.The blade that I am holding met the ground as soon as I embrace my arms around him. I cannot believe it. “ I-I thought you’re dead…” I whisper against his nape.“ I cannot leave you hurting, little wolf. I just can’t,” he whispers and turn me around to face my teary eyes. I can never believe I almost lost him earlier. He smiles. I never saw him smiles at me like that. “ Don’t cry now, babe,” he said leaning down to reach my ears. “ We have a warrior pack to claim right?” he winks.I was fascinated to see him alive that I cannot help staring at him as he face the warriors
“ Victoria!”“ Alpha King!”“ Fuck!”I cannot move. My hands cannot move as I felt the gush of blood leaving Alpha King’s body.Alpha Seymour, Alpha Riley, and Alpha Zac are all here. The warriors are all here but I cannot move. It’s been minutes since Alpha King closed his eyes.I looked up, seeing Alpha Seymour’s face. “ You told me! You fucking told me this is going to work!” I shouted at him still stopping Alpha King’s wound to stop from bleeding. The blade that I used earlier is now gone. His brother too is now gone. “ You told me he’ll wake up! That he’ll survive but why hasn’t he opened his eyes
“ You told me you’re going to release her,” I growl watching Lourde tying Victoria across the tree in front of me.I followed him and bound myself too tight that I won’t rip these fucking ties and kill him in my own hand. But seeing how my mate is fucking wincing against his touch riles up all of those fucking restrictions.My gaze darkens. “ I told you to leave her alone! She got nothing to do with all of these, Lourde. My mate has nothing to do with all of your shit. Release her!”He growled. “ Shut up! Shut the fuck up!” Lourde shouted running towards my direction and pointing the tip of his barrel into my chest. I can see murder in his eyes. It didn’t bother me. What bothers me the most is the silent sobs that I am hearing from Victoria&rsqu
Where is she?” I shouted at Alpha Seymour, gripping his collar. “ Where the fuck is Victoria?!”“ Calm down, Alpha King. My men are searching for her everywhere. I’m sure she’s just around the corner,” Alpha Seymour said pushing me out of his way.But heck. How can I even calm down when I know that something is definitely wrong. She will not bail out of anyone’s sight like this. Something is wrong. I must find her.“ Fuck, Alpha King. Where do you think you’re going?!” I heard one of them say but I don’t care. I continue to saunter into the woods to find her. I don’t trust Alpha Seymour’s warrior to find my mate. It’s been fucking hours since she’s gone and if I won’t see her for the next hou
