Asher"The winner of the inner wolf connectivity is Alessia. She won the 1st contest of the 5 contests," I smiled in satisfaction as I listened to the announcement of the councilmen. They must be surprised that I made the councilmen be in charge of Luna's event. I did that on purpose because I'm aware of their plan to manipulate the results and make Jessica the Luna of the pack. I assigned a few of the councilmen to control the event because they have been loyal to me. I smiled as the pack member cheered happily after the announcement. It gladdened my heart that my mate won the contest despite the pain she's passing through. I love her courage and smartness. She didn't give up despite being injured. I could see the way she shot the arrow accurately even though her legs were shaking. She didn't let her bad condition stop her from winning. I snapped out of my thoughts and looked up at her with a smile on my face after hearing the announcement. The smile wiped from my lips as my ga
Asher"Lady…" she coughed out dark blood and fell unconscious on the floor. I rushed toward her. "Who sent you? Lady what?" I asked in a cold tone but she couldn't hear me anymore. I shook her body vigorously but she didn't make a move. I leaned closer to her and placed my finger gently beside her neck slightly above her jawbone. I let out an exasperated sigh and dropped my hand from her neck. I have just confirmed she's died. But why? Why does she have to die? It's quite unfortunate that she had to die when she was about to reveal to whoever forced or made her poison my mate's drink. I rose and turned my gaze to Alessia who looked scared. I walked closer to her and sat down on the bed beside her."What's wrong with you?" I asked. I placed my hand on her hair, and she pushed it away with a cold look on my face. "Do you expect me to be happy that someone wants me dead? Or do you want me to be happy that the maid died in my presence without giving us the details of the person who
Alessia"What's happening to me?" I asked myself, unable to fathom the reason why I couldn't feel my leg. I thought it was a joke until I couldn't move my limb. It was at that moment that I believed that I'd lost my legs. I whined as I tried to get up from the bed but I couldn't. My leg snapped and I fell weakly on the bed. Tears rolled down from my eyes when I realized that I couldn't move any of my legs anymore. "Ahh…" I screamed out at the top of my voice and ruffled my hair. What am I going to do? How am I going to recover from this pain? I asked myself but I couldn't get an answer to it. I bit on my lower lips angrily until I felt the taste of cold metallic liquid hit my mouth. It was my blood. I shook my head with a sigh as I remembered Asher's statement which hit me very badly. I knew he was right. I shouldn't have gone to the contest but at the same time, I couldn't watch Jessica win over me. According to the doctor, I wouldn't be able to walk for the next few months
Asher"What's wrong?" I asked myself with a confused look on my face as I watched Alessia spring up on her feet and rush into the toilet. I squeezed my face as she made a sound that suggested that she was vomiting. I stood up from the bed and walked into the toilet in a hurry. By the time I reached the toilet, she was rinsing her mouth with the water from the running tap. She breathed out in relief and turned to me. "What's wrong with you?" I asked with a confused look on my face as I stretched a white towel for her to wipe the little stain on her mouth. "Thanks," she muttered as she collected the white towel from me and wiped her lips. She let out an exasperated sigh and threw the short towel. I leaned closer to her and wrapped my hand around her waist. She didn't bother to pull my hand away from her waist, instead, she stood still. I stayed closer to her till my warm breath fell against her neck. She stiffened under my touch. I smiled, happy by the effect I had on her. She aff
Alessia"I don't care or give a damn about whoever you take to the ballroom," I said, and he arched his eyebrows. "Are you sure?" He asked with a smirk on his face, and I nodded my head in agreement. "Of course, I'm," I replied coldly. "If then you're not angry or jealous, why do you choose to threaten me earlier?" He asked, and I laughed. "Does that sound like a threat to you?" I asked as I stared at him in disbelief. I was pulling his legs. I didn't mean to sound like that to him. Truly, I was angry that he was doubting if he should take me to the banquet but again I feel he should be careful with his choice because his girlfriend is a cunning and mischievous person. "Of course it does. Or are you trying to pull my legs earlier?" He asked in realization, and I burst into laughter. It's quite funny for him to think I'll be angry at him because of that. "To be sincere, I don't care about who you choose to go with you to the ballroom celebration but I want you to choose wisely
Asher"What!" A soft gasp escaped my lips as my mate, Alessia, slumped hard on the floor with a weak look. Her wolf lay weakly on the floor, and she shifted into her human form, naked. What just happened? Why did she suddenly fall? I stood up from the chair in an instant as these thoughts crossed my mind. I didn't let the thought get to me as I stood up from the chair and rushed toward her. It saddened my heart that Jessica won the second contest but Alessia was what mattered to me at that moment. "What happened to you?" I asked as I crouched closer to her. She moved to me and placed her head in my arms. She flushed and whispered into my ears. "Please take me away from here,"She wasn't comfortable with the lustful gaze of the male that was preying on her. I pulled off my jacket and wrapped it around her chest. Without any denial, I nodded my head and carried her into my arms in a bridal style. "Where are you taking me to?" She asked as I turned to Another route instead of the ro
AlessiaI suddenly jerked up from the bed and rushed into the toilet as the nausea kicked in again. My stomach grumbled loudly as I vomited into the sink. I squeezed my face and flushed the dirty substances in the sink. I rinsed my mouth with the way that ran from the tap. I wiped the water on my face with the small clean towel that was hung on the hanger. I looked up and stopped upon hearing the voice of Asher and the nurse. They were talking about something. I leaned closer to the door and eavesdropped. I managed to hear what they were discussing. They were talking about me. "According to what you just said, I think your mate is pregnant,""Pregnant?" "Yes. Though I'm not sure, I think she's carrying your pup inside her,"What! My eyes widened in shock as I heard the last statement of the nurse. I'm pregnant. I'm carrying the pup of my mate who's one of the strongest Alpha in the Western werewolf region. Happiness overwhelmed me the moment I received the news. Though it was une
Alessia"Don't be nervous. I'm sure that you can do this," Asher assured in a cold and firm tone. I nodded my head even though I found it hard to believe his words. Can I do it? That was the question that replayed in my mind as I stared at his blue sharp eyes. He looked so handsome and sexy that I couldn't take my gaze away from him. At that moment, I was so mesmerized by his handsomeness that I forgot about my problem. "Are you sure?" I asked as I stood up from the chair. He nodded his head and flashed a smile at me. "It's time, my lady," my heart skipped a bit as the voice rang from outside. "Go and make me proud," he said and patted my back. I nodded my head and walked out of the room without sparing a glance at him. I followed the guard to the battlefield, the pack members assembled themselves around it. Today is a special day for everyone in the Crystal Moon pack. This was the last contest of the five contests. Jessica and I won the contest twice which means anyone who win
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
