AsherI walked into the conference hall with dominant and possessive auras. The elders stood up in an instant the moment they noticed my presence in the hall."Good day, Alpha," they greeted in unison. "Good morning," I responded coldly as I walked up to the front chair. "You can have your seat," I said and sat down on the chair, and they all sat down on their seats respectively. "May I know the reason why you called for this impromptu meeting, elder Raphael?" I demanded in the cold as I placed my hand under my chin. "I'm sorry for…" I interrupted abruptly. "You have always been sorry. This is the high time you stop fixing meeting dates without my consent. I'm busy lately," I said, and he bowed his head gently. "I'm sorry, Alpha. I'll ensure that nothing like that happens again," he said. "Better," I stroked my chin. "So what's the purpose of this meeting?" I asked in a cold and hostile tone. "Well, we called your mate. It's quite unfortunate that we couldn't find you or your
Alessia"I hope she's fine,""I can't wait to have her in my arms again,"I opened my eyes slowly as I heard family voices around me. I shut my eyes closed as the sun cast its ray into my eyes. I forced my eyes open as my eyes adjusted to the brightness of the room. Where am I? I asked myself with a confused look. I met myself in a strange and unfamiliar room. It was spacious with not many items around it. It doesn't look like a room. The wall was painted blue. "How are you?" I blinked my eyes as my gaze landed on Asher who was standing beside the bed. "Asher," I called since I couldn't see my face. My vision was weak and blurry. He sat down on the bed beside me and helped me sit properly. I rested on the backrest pillow behind me. I rubbed my eyes gently as my gaze landed on someone familiar. It was Lucas. He had a cute and charming smile on his face. "How are you feeling, my lady?" He asked with a confused look on his face. I flashed a smile at him and said. "I'm fine," I know
AsherWhat!I looked at her with a cold and shocked expression. I wouldn't deny that I was taken aback by her questions. It's quite surprising because I wasn't expecting that question from her. How did she manage to know about the mountain? My heart skipped as the thought of the mountain crossed my mind. I forbid the pack members not to reach there. There is a lot of mystery and evil associated with the mountain which is the reason why I made it clear for anyone not to get close to it. "What's wrong?" She asked with a confused look on her face as I jerked up from the bed in an instant before I could stop myself. I took a deep breath and turned to her with a sharp gaze. "Is that the place where you fainted?" I asked, and she nodded her head gently. "Yeah, that was the place," she said, and my heart skipped in fear. I thought as much. That must be the reason why she had a headache and fainted. The evil auras must be too much for her body to handle. "What's wrong? You're yet to a
AlessiaHuh? I arched my eyebrows as I watched Asher leave the room. I don't know why I'm thinking this way but I feel he's hiding from him about that mountain. He found a way to avert my attention when he found how interested I was concerning the mountain. He even lied to me that there was an insect behind me. Me, being a scaredy cat, I had to jump at him forgetting about the question. He even kissed me when I tried to ask him about the mountain. What is it about the mountain? And what is he hiding? I could remember the shocked look on his face when I asked him about the question. I wish I could but I can't disregard that remark. I don't know why but I feel having this unknown and strange urge to unravel the mystery behind the mountain. There's more to it than its beautiful and colorful sight. I'm yet to understand how the mountain has such dark auras. I need to know the origin or source of this mountain. But how do I find out? I'm new to the pack so I know it would be hard to
Asher."Please forgive me," she cried as I lifted her and slammed her back against the wall. I pinned her to the wall with my finger piercing into her skin. "Ahh…" her scream came in a whisper. It was as though she couldn't talk anymore. I know if I don't release her I would end up murdering her, and she's one of the most loved members in the pack despite being sassy. I glared at her with a cold look on my face and released my grip from her neck. She crashed hard on the floor with a heavy thud. She coughed out blood and caressed her neck which was bleeding. "Don't go close to Alessia if you love your life," I said and when I tried to walk away she called me back. "Are you going to kill me because of her?" She asked, and I turned to her. "I won't hesitate to kill you if you tried to play smart on her," I threatened. "But you can't do this to me," she said and walked closer to me with a flirty smile on her face. She's quite stubborn. "I won't hesitate to break your neck if yo
Alessia I rolled on the bed for the umpteenth. I found out hard to sleep even though I forced myself to. I have been feeling lonely and bored in such a big chamber. Even when I tried to take a nap to clear the boredom, I find it hard to sleep. I stood up from the bed and walked into the bathroom. I washed my face with the water that rushed from the running tap. I walked out of the bathroom and dried my face with a clean white. I groaned out with a sigh and threw the novel in my left hand away. It's quite frustrating that despite how hard I tried to kill the boredom in the room, I still find it hard to concentrate on the book. I have tried everything possible in the room to make sure that I don't feel bored but it wasn't working out. Everything doesn't seem right. The only option that I could only think of was to leave my room. I liked the idea but once again I remembered the warning that Asher gave me before leaving the room. He told me not to his house until he's back from
Asher"What can I do about you?" I asked in a cold tone and bit my lower lips as I watched her stomp away. I took a deep breath and tried to console the anger that seeped through me. I wonder what's her connection with the mountain. She keeps insisting to know more about the mountain. I believe that she might be the curious type but at the same time, I wasn't expecting her to be persistent about the whole thing. There's more about it than I think. I need to find out what she's trying to figure out. I glanced at the mountain and walked out of the bushes, and took a stroll to the route that leads to my office. "I want you to surround the mountain with a barricade tape and make sure no one passes the limit, not even my mate," I mind-linked to the chief of guards as I arrived at my office. "Okay, Alpha. I will surely do that," he said, and I disconnected the connection. I snapped out of thought as Lucas' voice rang in my head which interrupted my thoughts. "What is it?" I asked in
Jessica I slumped hard on the cold floor with a cold and solemn look on my face. I tightened my knuckles and bit my lower lips as I caressed my neck which burned with excruciating pain. I find it hard that Damien could do such a thing to me. He hadn't raised his hand to touch me before but he strangled me and tried to kill me. My heart skipped as the memory kicked inside my head. I have never seen such a side of him before until now, and it's all because of her, Alessia. She was the reason why he lashed out and attacked me. She is the reason why I'm in pain. I grunted out in pain as I tried to get up on my feet. My body was aching in pain. He has drained my strength away. I'm glad that he didn't kill me. I had thought I was going to die. My neck refused to heal because it got injured by an Alpha claw. It will take my neck seven days to heal because his claws are venomous. "You're going to pay for this, Alessia," I cursed beneath as I staggered back to my feet. She's the reason
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
