"You're right, my lady. Their faces were covered with leaves," the guard said, and Ariella trembled in fear. For the first time, I saw her tremble and shudder in fear. I didn't who those people were but whoever they were, I wouldn't let them take her away in my presence. "Are you okay? Who are those people?" I asked as I turned to her. "It was those guys you saved me from the other day," she said, and I scoffed. "So you remember," I said and chucked mockingly. "This isn't a time to joke. They're dangerous," she said, and I scoffed. "I never said I was joking with you as well. I would do them the favor of slapping their ass again," I said in a cold tone, and she scoffed. She ignored me and climbed down the stairs to the ground level. "Get the guards to secure this place," she yelled, and he shuddered in fear. "That's not possible. The Alpha had gone with most of the guards to the battlefield and we're outnumbered," he said, and she gasped out in shock. I swallowed the lump in
AlessiaI swallowed hard and my hands shook vigorously with cold beads of sweat forming on my forehead. My head throbbed in pain as he threw a cold glare at me. What was going to do? I knew I wasn't going to die if I couldn't do something about it. I didn't know what to do or say at that moment. "What do you want?" I took a deep breath and tried to control my heart which was beating rapidly. Maybe I could come up with a better plan. I swallowed as he threw a cold glare at me. "Give her back to me and I'll spare your life," I said confidently, and they grimaced at me. It was funny and unfortunate that I could be so bold in such a condition. My life was at stake, and I needed to do something to make their hearts ease. I couldn't tell why but I felt like they were at stake, not mine. The feeling was overwhelming and unimaginable to be real. I knew there was no way for me to take down all of the armies around me but the feeling was still there. "What made you think you'll leave he
Alessia"You haven't answered me," he said in a cold tone and walked closer to me with a smug face. "Get away from me," I growled deeply as he gripped my chin and pulled it up so he could get a closer view of me. He whined and staggered backward as I bit on his arm with my wolf's fang. I rubbed my hand on my neck and turned to run out of the hall but unexpectedly, he was standing before me with a smirk on his face. "Where do you think you're going?""You're yet to answer me," he said, bringing me out of my thoughts. I balled my hand into a fist and bit on my lower lips with an angry look on my face. I have tried all I could do to subdue him but he was giving me a hard time. My wolf couldn't resurface because of his dangerous auras. "Since you won't tell me why you're here, I will teach you a lesson," he said, grasped my hand firmly, and dragged me out of the hall. "What are you doing? Leave me," I yelled and hit his shoulder with my left hand. I tried all I could to take my hand
Alessia"What happened to me?" I turned to Ariella, who had just opened her eyes after waking from her deep slumber. I took a deep breath, trying to come up with a better lie to convince her that nothing serious happened to her. "You fainted after Alpha Nox died," I responded, and she nodded her head gently even though she wasn't convinced. "Ouch!" She whined and rubbed her hand on her forehead which must be throbbing in pain. I knew that I shouldn't have done such a thing to her but I had no choice. I couldn't afford to leak the secret of my mystic wolf to anyone because my life would be at stake. It was better if I kept it a secret. "How are you feeling?" I asked worriedly and rushed toward her. I reached out to the bowl of water that was beside the mattress. I pressed a piece of white cloth inside of it and pressed it gently on her head to ease the pain. "Thanks," she muttered and turned to me with a smile beaming at the corner of her eyes. "Huh?" I asked and blinked my eyes
AlessiaI stared at the doctor with my eyes widened in shock and awe. I was unable to believe that I was pregnant. I thought it was a joke or a prank until he showed me the proof that I was pregnant but still I didn't believe him. "Are you sure about this, doctor?" I asked again, and he nodded his head in agreement. "Yeah, I'm sure. This is it," he said and pressed the pregnancy kit to have a better view of it even though I was seeing it. "I'd like to take my leave," the doctor bowed his head slightly and walked away before I could call him back and question him again. "Calm down," for the first time, Lennox spoke up and I looked up at him. He walked closer to me and wrapped his hand around my waist as he leaned closer to me. "You don't have to feel sad. You're carrying my baby," he whispered to my ear and my body shuddered at his proximity. "That's a lie. I'm not pregnant for you," I threw my head backward and pushed him away from me. He shook his head with a sigh and rushed to
AsherOuch!I winced in pain and squeezed my face, unable to handle the pain that was banging inside of my head. It was excruciating and unbearable. My body was aching in pain as well. I shifted backward and leaned against the wall that was behind me. I stayed in that posture for a while until I was able to regain my lost strength. I was still weak. My body was filled with blood and bruises. How did I get here? This was the question that crossed my mind the moment I realized what was happening. I clenched my fist and bit on my lower lips as I remembered how Derek and my mate betrayed me, how she shoved the sword into my chest breaking my heart into a million pieces, and how she pushed me away like I didn't matter to her anymore. Of course, I wasn't expecting her to welcome me with wide arms after knowing that I killed her parents but I wasn't expecting her to take such an action. She betrayed me and the trust that I had for her. But how did I get her? And why am I not dead? Tha
Asher"Now, it's left for you to make a choice. I would like to know if you'll choose your special technique manual over her life," he said and grasped her closely. "How did you find her?" I asked with a surprised look on my face and he scoffed. "That doesn't matter. Give me the manual and I'll let both of you leave here alive," he said and I scoffed. I thought I was hallucinating, that everything was a dream until she called out my name in her cold and spooky tone. "Asher."I wasn't surprised that she didn't address me by my title, Alpha, like she used to because I had lost it to my mischievous brother, Derek. But why is she alive? This was a question that I couldn't answer for a long time because I remembered the news I got from the pack members then that she was dead. I wouldn't have believed them if I hadn't seen her dead body that was cremated in my presence. Could she have been reincarnated? No, werewolves don't reincarnate. "Don't give it to him," she argued even though h
Asher"Don't you want it?" I questioned her and she shook her head hastily in disagreement. "No, I want you. How could I not?" She asked and laughed nervously. "So where are we having it?" I asked and she squeezed her face. "We can't possibly have it here so we're going over to my place," she said and I nodded my head in agreement. "But how?" I asked and glanced at the two guards, who were standing at the front of the dungeon. "I'll take care of them," she said and we both walked toward the door. Surprisingly, the invisible force didn't repel me like it did the other time, instead, I walked past it side-by-side with Laura, who smiled at me. One of the guards called her back as they were about to leave the dark passage. "Where are you going, my lady? With him?" The guard asked and turned to me with a disgusting gaze on her face. Her face twitched in anger, and the guards shuddered in fear. "How dare you question me, huh?" She asked angrily. "I'm sorry, my lady. I'm only doing
EPILOGUEThird POV“It's time,” Asher said and kissed Alessia on her forehead. She looked away and wished for a flushed face before kissing him back. She wiped the beads of tears that rolled down from my eyes as she watched her twin sister being dragged to the execution ground. Maybe triplet sister. Not long after her parents returned, she found out that Alyssa whom she used to hate but protect was her sister and they were triplets. She thought she would be glad to watch her wicked sister die but she couldn't bear it. But her sister still deserved it. She tried to kill her and made her lose her first pregnancy. Asher's supposed heir. “You'll be fine,” Asher muttered and stroked her hair. Of course, they tried to forgive Amelia and redeem her but she claimed to be irredeemable. She wanted to die and pass on to the other side to meet her mate, Xavier. “I'm sorry,” he muttered and hugged her as she watched her sister's head roll down on the execution ground. Finally, everywhere wa
Alessia"When I opened my eyes, I was confused. Everything was blurry and I felt disoriented. I didn't know where I was or what had happened. I tried to sit up, but my body felt weak and sluggish. As my vision began to clear, I realized that I was in a hospital room. There were beeping machines and tubes and wires attached to me. The last thing I remembered was my sister stabbing me, but I couldn't recall anything after that.That's true. How did I manage to come back to life? I asked myself but I couldn't get an answer to it. I couldn't forget the unbearable pain that I felt when she stabbed me with the silver dagger on her right palm. I couldn't forget how blood rushed out of my vagina and stomach. Just as I was wondering how long I'd been in the hospital room, the door creaked open and Asher walked in. “Alessia,” he called out with a surprised look on his face and rushed toward me with his face filled with concerns. “You're finally awake. Wonderful,” he hurled out with exciteme
AlessiaI grunted out as I woke up from my slumber. I opened my eyes and rubbed my hand on my eyes as the rays of the sun pierced into my eyes. I whined as my head ached in pain. I arched my eyebrows and looked around with a confused look as I met myself in a different place and room. Without a second thought, I knew where I was. I was back to his pack, the place where I ran away after I found out that he killed my parents, the people I loved sincerely. “You're awake.”“How are you?” I looked up as I heard his calm yet cute voice in the background. I swallowed hard and bit on my lower lips as my gaze landed on him.“Why do you care to know? And why are you here?” I asked in a cold tone and he shook his head.“I care because you're my mate. This is my room, mate,” he said and I growled. Somehow, the word 'Mate' hit a vulnerable spot in my heart even though I wouldn't admit it. “And maybe I should just leave,” I said and tried to stand up from the bed. I whined in pain and fell on
Alessia“You're not allowed to go out, my lady,” I arched my eyebrows as I glared at the guards, who stood in my way. He was assigned to keep me at bay so I wouldn't be able to leave the house. And for the past few minutes, I have been asking why but he wouldn't give me a sincere reason. “But why?” I asked myself but I couldn't get an answer to it. I decided to force the answer out of him because I feel something bad is about to end. And whatever that happens, it wouldn't be good. “I need your help,” I said as I mind-linked to my mystical wolf, Kai. “What's that?” He asked even though he could read my mind and know what I was thinking. “I want you to help me compel the question out of him,” I said and he smiled. “It's simple. I belong to you and you belong to me so just do it without disturbing me,” he said and the connection went off. I grunted and stood up from the chair. I whined in pain and pretended to fall on the floor with a heavy thud so I could lure him inside. “What
Asher“How may we help you, Alpha?” I looked up as the door creaked open and the Blood Triplets walked in with their suppressing auras. Dean, Damon, and David. I stood up from the chair and stroked my chin gently as I raised my face to look up at them. “I want you to track my mate down. She's in the Red Moon pack,” I said. “The Red Moon pack?”I squeezed out a smile as I watched them hesitate for a second. “Yes, I'll do it if all of you are scared to,” I said and they shook their heads negatively. “No, we'll do it, Alpha. What's the plan?” Dean, who seemed to be the bolder one, asked, and I smirked discreetly. “That's a good question. Once you know where she is hiding, let me know. Don't let her know you're spying on her because I think she's hiding her identity,” I said and they nodded their heads in response. “You'll get a report from us in the next three hours,” David said and I agreed to his statement. “I'll be waiting. Good luck,” I said and they left the chamber. I looked
AsherI closed my eyes as I tried to open my eyes which were heavy and red. I managed to open my eyes after much trial. I was surprised to find myself in a little room that looked like a cell with no Illumination. It was dark and void. What happened to me? That was the first question that came to my mind after I regained consciousness and discovered that I was no longer with Lennox. It was then I realized that I was backstabbed by my childhood. How could he do this to me? Why? Maybe I shouldn't have trusted him. Although he didn't seem to be a bad person when he was young, it seemed he'd become fierce and ruthless just like me, or more than that. But why did he lock me up? He should have killed me. Maybe he needed something from me. I would make sure he doesn't get whatever he needs easily. “Hey. Bring me your Alpha. Tell him that I'm awake,” I yelled and shook the cell vigorously but I got no response. “What's wrong?” I asked myself. “No one is going to hear you so you'd bette
Xavier“Where is she?” I asked and the guard looked up instantly. “She's in the Crystal River,” he responded and I bit on my lower lips. I clenched my fist with an angry look on my face. How dare she leave our pack to our sworn enemy pack? I asked myself but I couldn't get an answer to it. For the past decade, the Red Moon pack has had a blood feud with the Crystal River pack.It came as a surprise that she could go to such a place despite knowing that her life could be endangered. Maybe because she thinks I wouldn't be able to go there to attack them.Well, she's right. I'll do anything even if it's to break down the mountains to bring her back. I wouldn't hesitate to eliminate their family members. “You know what? Bring the Alpha and beta troops to the battlefield. We're heading to the Crystal River pack to bring back my mate,” I ordered the commander, who hurriedly left my throne room. I stood up from the throne room and walked into my chamber. I pulled the wardrobe open and c
AlessiaWhat!A soft gasp escaped from my lips immediately after he uttered the word ‘Strip’. Stripping for him? No, that's not possible. I couldn't imagine myself having sex with the man who stripped me of everything.Not only did he humiliate me in the presence of the pack members but he also wanted to have sex with me. I wouldn't let that happen even if I had to lose my life to it in the process. I won't let him have his way with me. “Pervert,” I wanted to reveal myself badly as I thrust a sword into his heart but I knew it would be too reckless. He had become more powerful than I could think. What am I going to do? If I want to succeed with my mission, I would have to let him have his way with me because there's no way I can sneak attack him. But that's not a good thing. Am I ready to sacrifice myself to have sex with me? Wouldn't it be worth it? I have come a long way and I wouldn't want to lose everything that I'd worked for. “Alyssa,” he called and I looked up. “Why ha
Xavier“What!” A soft gasp left my lips after I heard the revelation. It came as a huge shock to me that I felt a cold shiver run down my spine. However, I didn't believe them. “How is that possible? And what woman were you talking about?” I asked with a cold look on my face. “Don't tell me that you don't know that woman you betrayed, Alpha,” I looked up with a cold look as I heard the voice of the pack witch. She walked into the house with a creepy smile beaming on her face. The room fell silent as she walked in with her powerful auras. “Good day, Alpha,” she greeted me and I nodded my head. “Can you explain what's happening?” I asked and she nodded her head. “Yes. The oracle said that you offended and betrayed a beautiful young lady a few months ago. She's supposed to be your soulmate but you pushed her away with your betrayal.”“Read my lips, Alpha. You won't be able to impregnate any lady apart from her. She's the only one who's capable of giving birth to you,” she said and
