The king told Hannah that Alpha Marcus will no longer trouble her ever again.
She initially refused to believe him, not until Luna Kristin confirmed to her that Marcus was indeed dead.She didn’t even know how to process the news in fact she was lost in her thoughts not knowing how to feel or react.But she didn’t get the time to think of anything else because the king took her back with him to the palace.She insisted Luna Kristin must go with her and he readily agreed once he was sure she played no part in her abuse.They got to the pack and Kristin hugged her once before she was escorted to a different section to start afresh.Hannah was hesitant and scared of everything and everyone. She only clung to him like he was the air she breaths and while he welcome her touch, he knew it was her past trauma at work.She was placed in a room on his wing not too far from his room. It took a lot of convincing for her to let him go, so she could wash up.Casper was the king of the entire werewolf race so his power and authority were enormous, as well as the amount of enemies who were seeking to destroy him.He became king 15 years ago after the death of the former king, but before then he used to run a pack called Silver Moon. Casper was made king because he easily surpased the rest of the other candidates by a large margin, much to the displeasure of a vast many.He knew Hannah became his greatest weakness the moment she turned out to be his mate.His plan was to delay introducing her to the rest of the palace pack members yet. She was not ready to meet new people and he sure as hell wasn’t ready to declare her an open target.“Alpha”Lukas joins him on the way to his office and by the look on his Beta’s face, he knew something was amiss.“I really want you to know that miss Emma...is here” came the strained voice of the Man who never stutters.The news had his face contorting in anger. He really hated when things became messy. Emma Wallace was a big mess that may be hard to handle.Immediately he opened the door to his office, a voluptuous red head ran straight into his arms almost knocking him over.His Beta gave him a look asking for assistance but he shook his head and the man continued down the hall, leaving him with the mess he made.Three months ago, when he was sure he wouldn’t be finding his mate and coupled by the pressure from the greasy wolves in council, he decided to take a wife/Luna.Emma was the candidate he settled for because she was familiar and someone he was close to. She was also strong and decisive when faced with difficult situations.It wasn’t hard convincing her too, so the marriage preparations were on the way.But now he has found his soulmate, there was no how he could afford to be with someone else.“Hey baby!” Her voiced echoed through the room.“Hi Emma” his tone was indifferent.“I heard you went to Eclipse pack today, I’m so sad because I couldn’t go with you. It would have——”Lukas slowly disentangled from her hold and made his way to the couch. He was looking for a way to break the news to her without hurting her feelings.“Hey, what’s wrong?”“See Emma, I’ve got something i need to say to you” it was better he didn’t delay the inevitable.Emma noticed the change in his mood and her own face contorted into something askew to confusion.“I’m sorry but i do not think the marriage will hold” the news filtered through the room.“But why?...is it the council again?, do they want it postponed, do they—”“No it’s not the council Emma. I can’t marry you...I think i found my mate”He made sure to put force in that announcement so Emma knows when things are over.“No Lukas, No No No!!! Who is the bitch? Are you sure she’s your mate? Alot of she wolves can be quite manipulative. She can’t be your mate” the once beautiful face was now ruined with running mascara.“Listen Emma and I’ll only say this once. I’m grateful you accepted my proposal immediately i made them to you but a mate is a mate and I can’t ruin my chances with her after waiting for so long” He was beginning to spot a headache at this point.“So you’ll just discard me like this, right? Just because of some whore” she screamsAnd he forcefully grabbed her two hands making her shocked and scared.“Don’t you ever say something like that about my mate. Not in your dammed life! Now leave Emma, get out!” He ordered and she scurries out while sobbing.Lukas knew she wouldn’t let it go easily and wished he’d be able to round up all the Vibraniums in Circulation, so he could Introduce and claim Hannah in front of his people...like a true Alpha King.*****/Hannah was back at Alpha Marcus’s house where she had just been called into his room.The moment she got in, he rose from his bed and proceeded to slam her head against the wall, three times.“You whore! So you think you could escape from me. You wanted to leave with the king right, you craved the taste and feel of a royal dick, you slut.” A series of hard kicks landed on her ribs and Hannah cried out in pain.She was sure he would kill her now, she’d disobeyed him and this was her punishment.He turned her around and spit in her face, he made sure to use his free hand to spread the spittle all over her face.“It’s one thing to be blind, without ever shifting and it’s another thing to think you can dream of a life outside what i could give you. Hannah, you are nothing asides your young pussy and beautiful warm mouth, there’s absolutely nothing else you can offer a man...got it?”Her sobs couldn’t allow her answer him in time, earning her two slaps on the cheeks.“What are you Hannah?”“I am a slut and i only belong to Alpha Marcus” she recited in pain.“Good but not good enough.” He began to unbuckle his belt and Hannah thought it would be another blow job but he had other plans.“I wanted to wait until our wedding night but at this point, you may give it out to a random rogueu on the streets.”He pushed her blind and battered self onto the wooden dining table.He roughly tore her panties despite her flimsy resistance and with a grunt, he pressed the tips of his penis right at her entrance.“Please Alpha, don’t do this to me, i beg you”“Shut up”He replied before driving his dick straight into her vagina without wasting any time. It was like her bones down there were being crushed just to make way for him.Like her insides, her entire heart was crushed as the man behind her kept thrusting like his life depended on it. Hannah didn’t find any need to live and she totally believed she was a slut, a damaged one.She simply shut her eyes and willed death to come take her/.*********“Wake up Hannah, please wake up baby” a deep voice was calling onto her, slowly drawing her out of the darkness she had fallen into.Her eyes opened in a daze and the voice she heard was not Alpha Marcus but King Casper.That was when she realized it had been all a dream, a gut wrenching nightmare.“It’s okay, you are safe with me. I won’t let nobody hurt you” he reassured and engulfed her in a hug.She felt a liquid on the bed and immediately pulled the covers. Her fingers touched the sheets and she smelled it, only to realize it was urine. She had pissed on herself.Hannah was bewildered and wanted the grounds to open up and swallow her. Why did she have to do such embarrassing thing and why was Casper a witness to such embarrassment.She dragged the duvet over her head to escape the shame and heard him chuckling deeply.“It’s a natural occurrence and nothing to be worried. I’ll get someone to come clean this up so you don’t catch a cold”She doesn’t reply him and he sensed it was time he gave her room to sort herself. Once out the door, he realized how smitten he was of her.Everything she does were perfect and cute, he couldn’t help but think if it were all the effects of the mate bond or purely his own feelings.He felt a strange smell on the hallway and paused to investigate further. His fists clenched tightly, almost bursting a nerve when it occured to him who the smell belonged to.“Come out Damian, don’t hide like some cowardly bastard” his voice echoed across the empty hallway.Footsteps could be heard coming out from a demarcating pillar not to far from where he stood.“Oh hi Brother.” A mocking voice jeered as the footsteps came to a stop right in front of him.“Do you miss me?”He least expected to meet his brother again, especially not under this current situation.If Damian was here then there’s bound to be trouble since his older brother held a grudge against him, one far too deep for any kind of reconciliation in sight.By the laws of the royal selection, the position of king is not dependent on age hierarchy but on the most suitable for the job.Damian had been the best brother anyone could ask for, always teaching him new techniques and showing him battle tactics at all times whenever he learns anything new. They were inseparable, not until it became news that the sons of the king would have to fight each other in a Duel to see who emerges the winner.It was pretty much clear who would succeed because his older brother was a far much experienced fighter than he could ever be.He agreed to go easy on Casper but something happened during the fight. Damian went against his promise and began brutalizing his younger brother much to the horror of the counci
As Eva led her into a foyer where she could feel the presence of many people. Her hands tightened in reflex since she doesn’t necessarily fare well with much attention. “Hi guys, meet the new girl. Her name is Hannah and she’ll be joining our pack by the orders of the alpha...but just to add, she’s not exactly like us. Hannah is blind” she introduced in a solemn tone. Hannah winced because she knew exactly what is to follow next, they would laugh at her and then proceed to mock her for it. She waited but the opposite happened. “Man she’s hot!” a male wolf whistled in appreciation breaking the silence. “They don’t make em like this anymore” the guy continued and a sound resounded in the room, like someone had been punched. Hannah who was obviously frightened withdraws to the back of Eva. “Ouch why did you do that for Camille?” It was the guy again. “How many times will i warn you not to flirt with the newbies huh? I swear to God i hate being related to you” This time it was the
(EMMA BRAXTON) She was almost at wits end on what to do about Casper. It’s been a week since he dropped that heartbreaking news about finding his chosen mate, regardless of all I’ve been through to get here. It’s been pure torture having to pretend to her friends since they were yet to make an official announcement about the broken engagement. The very thought of life without Casper felt like someone had dipped a hand into her chest and ripped the bloody thing out. Emma had loved him since she was barely a teen and made sure to stick with him through all the phases of his life until now. He was very clear on their boundaries and made sure she never crossed them. She’s tried every tricks in the books, from seduction to flirting, to being a reliable warrior but Casper just doesn’t see her. one would imagine her joy when he picked her to become his chosen mate and queen only for him to rip that same joy away, like her feelings were nothing…she didn’t matter.“Please honey, come down
He barely noticed when the enraged she wolf left the balcony in a speed of light. All Casper could see was the dainty beauty lost in the fragrance of the roses, completely oblivious of the world around her nor the man looking down at her with love.His heart couldn’t decipher how his able to feel so much emotions towards someone he just met. He concluded that the mate bond was surely a miracle on its own.As if she noticed him starring, her eyes went up to the direction of the balcony. He felt fluttered and would have crouched down till he realized she couldn’t have seen him.From where he stood, Casper could tell apart the different color hues that make up her eyes. It was a mix of color variations that formed the perfect blend of bluish silver he’d ever seen. Simply put, she sparkled…and she was all his.It was a fact that had his wolf letting out a deep growl of possessiveness.He could have stood there longer but he had a lot on his plate to take care of. So he had to entrust some
Hannah couldn’t believe her ears after overhearing the king openly deny her before those men.She had simply been on her way to use the toilet when she was drawn by the conversation taking place in the office.Tears were threatening to spill and her heart felt like it was being squeezed tightly. She was sure he had claimed to be her mate back then at eclipse pack, and had even felt the shocks too, so why was he lying?...And like a light bulb the answer came to her. He was simply ashamed of her apparent disability hence the reason he wouldn’t want to be linked to her in anyway.The door knob made a sound and Hannah frantically began to try to escape. It would be considered very rude to be caught eavesdropping on the king’s conversations, but she was too late for obvious reasons.“Now what do we have here” a familiar voice sneered at her.She could remember it was the same girl she had bumped into earlier in the day and from the tone of her voice, it wasn’t going to end well for her.
As the group of old men kept on badgering her with questions that broke her bits by bits, Hannah could do nothing but stand there and listen to them.It was like a well calculated witch hunt but she hadn’t made any enemy since she got there.She could only wish for them to stop and move on to other things.Casper knew his mate was barely trying to stand. Others couldn’t see but he noticed even the tiniest details of her vulnerability, from the trembling legs to the way the hair on her hands stood at attention. It would only be a matter of time before she succumbs to their pressure.“I do not see the need to keep haggling the pitiful girl. She’s not my mate and the goddess wouldn’t even make such mistake to begin with...”“I agree with your highness but i still feel uncomfortable having her in the palace. Why don’t we send her off to the disability home overseas...she would most likely be able to adapt there with people of similar attributes...”A burly man called Winston suggested an
It was nighttime, everyone was long gone and the house was now bereft of the loud voices and chatter. Right there in the middle of the bed, lay Hannah whimpering in her sleep. She was having a nightmare.Hannah found herself being chased by large flying faceless creatures with gigantic canines and ferocious eyes.This would be her first dream and strangely enough, she was able to see. But there was no time to dwell on that because the creatures where coming on strongly.A tree stump she hadn’t seen early enough got her foot and had her falling down and hitting her body on a large tree. She tried to get up but the pain was just too unbearable. The beasts kept drawing closer and closer and all she could do was cry.In a weird turn of events, they didn’t harm her...all six of them. They simply turned around and disappeared leaving her feeling confused and agitated.She heard a ruffle coming from the right side of where she sat and turned towards it, only to see a beautiful white wolf sit
Hannah could barely hide her excitement from her friends. It was rather difficult for her to pretend to still be blind despite being able to see.She had to hide it from everyone while all the while marveling at all the things she’s now able to see for the first time. It was overwhelming at first but she knew it would only be a matter of time before she gets used to it.Jojo took her to the general pack house which was a large building for wolves in the capital who were either visitors or they simply did not have a house of their own.The Capital was like a pack under the king’s direct rule. He was the alpha and in charge of all immediate affairs of wolves within its shield.The palace on the other hand was strictly for the king and his relatives and only permissible to a privileged few. Hannah felt warm when she remembered how he had placed her there which could only mean he saw her way beyond close.Now being able to see, she noticed every tiny details as Jojo led her inside and
Lukas kept looking at the girl while trying to understand how she came to be so. She was no longer blind, as a matter of fact nothing about her indicates she had ever had an issue with her sight. Emma’s lifeless body looked like she had been descended upon by a possessed spirit. So many cuts littered her body and her neck was at an awkward position but still, she was the only one whose head remained on the body; same couldn’t be said for the other two girls. “Oh goddess. My goddess!! What happened to my baby…? What happened to Emma?” a woman’s high volume sob reverberated all through the room. She was Mrs Braxton, Emma’s mother. She was also joined by other women whose children met the same fate. “Beta Lukas…” a warrior called out to him in a frazzled tone. “hmmm?” “This is not looking too good and I doubt the king is yet aware” Of course he’s not aware. Casper had gone with Zion to settle a few border disputes far away from the palace. He will likely be expected home by midnight
Hannah felt a million emotions but the most that arrested her was that of Betrayal. She had somehow tried in her head to hold a little trust over Casper despite all the tales she’s heard about him. Her neck burned and so was her heart. It was like she had gone back to the place she thought she’d escaped from; back to Eclipse pack and Candor’s face was now replaced with that of Alpha Marcus. Never did she think another man would ever get to take her against her will. Maybe it was just her, something about her entire existence must scream “hey i want to be abused”. Because none of the girls she’d come across since she came here had any similar experiences...just her. Hannah was overwhelmed by a foreign feeling that clinched over her heart and a headache that threatened to take away her soul. This was what it meant to be bonded with another. She was now mated to Casper against her will. He eventually let her go but his head still held her close of which she was grateful for because
The entire palace had been racing against time to get a lead on the appalling mess the vibranium had caused. Luck seemed to shine on them when they caught one of the messenger boys out while delivering a package as usual. The frightened pup had recounted the same story similar to that of the spy they caught back then, but he added a small detail that changed the entire course of the investigation. There was indeed a second party, a male within the age of 25-27 who spoke weirdly.According to his statement, he had once seen the man with Doctor Martin on one of his visits to their former pack. He then went further to clarify that he wasn’t too sure about the coincidence but there was a similar looking man with the same tattoo who once came directly to the warehouse to handpick a delivery boy, and this was within the period it seemed like their hideout was about to be exposed. There was only one person who fit the description and it was none other than Ian. Maybe the goddes
After coming back from another fruitless search, Hannah found herself listless and exhausted. It was like none of the witnesses wanted to be found or they were too scared to come forward. Ian had told her about a man who had been quite close to her parents but when they went to see him, it became known to them that the warrior had committed suicide shortly after the death of his mate during the destruction of Alapego pack, her place of origin. But she wouldn’t completely term it as fruitless because Hannah now knew that her mother had been of Alpha bloodline and a renowned healer with tremendous powers. Mariah got mated to a human hence the reason why her father, the then Alpha of Alapego cut her off. The man saw it as a source of humiliation to their family name and saw no need to let her take over from him. These was all she had gotten so far but still no news of how Alapego came to destruction nor how Casper got into the picture. At the mention of the beautiful Mariah, everybody
The uneven minded scientist stood clutching an old photograph hidden by the shadows cast from the tree directly facing the girl’s window. He’d been coming here frequently these days as his final plans kept drawing near. Soon the shifter world would get to experience a new change with him as their face of authority, and with the girl by his side...his sweet little girl.Although he had almost gone bonkers when he found her always trailing after the king, that silly boy that completely ruined his life causing his plans to be derailed, and he had lost his Mariah but his heart already made peace with the fact that his reign as king of the wolves would soon come to a tragic end. His plans for Casper Pete Nivero was just too perfect and brought a teary smile to his burnt cheeks. The surreal shock on his face when the Dominant King would get to realize the person at the other end of the sword that would pierce right through him, his look of anguish, mighty Alpha roar and the deep feeling of
Lukas and Eva realized they were fated just when the Beta had almost lost hope at the age of thirty. They pretty much accepted each other wholeheartedly and went on to mate according to customs, that mating resulted in a fruit, a beautiful baby girl girl who drew the attention of everyone. Her name was Henny, and a perfect mix between father and mother but no one expected such joy to be harshly ripped away from them almost immediately.Poor Henny got poisoned to death at barely six months by her own father. Due to the virile nature of Lukas’s job as the King’s second in command it was normal to have a sizable number of enemies who would feel aggrieved when certain decisions don’t go their way, hence they seize any opportunity to cause harm. That was the case after Lukas carried out a royal decree on a pack that was going against wolf rules, as punishment they had to be disintegrated and submerged into another pack but the alpha had escaped capture. The vile man somehow got intoxicat
When Casper couldn’t answer her it felt like something left right out of her soul, hot shattering anger mixed with pain. As she kept starring at him, all the past ill treatments she’d endured from him all came bubbling to the surface like waterfalls and as she really thought about it now in clarity she could tell white from black in expressive tones. That was why a humorless chuckle left her mouth as her gaze pierced through his face, his black to her blue. “Now that i think about it, you’ve never really wanted me...Asides the force of the mate bond which got us into that situation during my heat cycle...” the chuckle didn’t stop and she could feel the painful sting of tears. “You...you are just...unbearable” he ended and watched he go into a fit. “Unbearable?...did i hear you say Unbearable hmm. Do you have any idea...any freaking idea what I’ve been forced to endure...how painful...how difficult it’s been for me since i found you...” Casper was almost gasping for breath mid growls
How Hannah’s emotions went from loving Casper wholeheartedly to having doubts about him all within a space of thirty minutes should be subject to study. While she may have been a slave to the mate bond, her mind began to cast aspersions on the king’s personality after the reveal. Did he truly even want to be mated to her or had his approach always been sinister, maybe to keep her close and monitor her or was it something else.So many questions plagued her mind and for the first time she’s forced to look at Casper in a different light...what was he capable of? She wondered as her eyes met his stormy ones clearly in a battle of control with his wolf. Had the mate bond blinded her all these while...“Alpha...” the sly Ian greeted with a nod but the king could see the small smile hovering at the corners of his mouth. The guy was devious and there’s no doubt he was up to something.“WHY ARE YOU HERE?” He went straight ahead because he had no time to waste on the filth.“Oh sorry Alpha but
Hannah discarded the blind persona and attempted to speak to the woman but she kept slipping in and out of delusions like she couldn’t differentiate between what was real or not. A female nurse came to take the woman and apologized for her behavior leaving Hannah in an even confused state than she had been. Who was Mariah and how was she connected to the unknown woman? She was still lost in thoughts when somebody violently bumped into her shoulders causing her to almost trip. Hannah was quickly getting tired of having to pretend to be blind but she simply reined it in and put on an act of clumsily reaching for the wall to steady herself.“Blind whore...” a familiar voice spat out in an acidic tone causing a shiver to trail down the girl’s spine. Emma was here and she sounds pissed.“So you eventually seduced and slept with him, you whimpering man snatcher...i knew i should have dealt with you sooner, cut you up limb to limb and pluck out those eyes you used in deceiving my mate...”
