LucasAfter finishing the work that was on my table, I let out an exasperated sigh and threw my head back to rest for a while. I stood up from the chair, arranged the files accordingly, and returned them to the cabinet beside my table. I picked up my suit and hung it around my arms. I walked out of my office and headed to my house. "Greetings, Beta Lucas," I nodded at the guards who were patrolling the pack. I suddenly stopped and looked around with a confused look as a weird yet alluring scent wafted through the air and hit my nose. Surprisingly, my body reacted positively as the scent hit me. Unlike before, I got attracted to the scent so I followed it. I tracked the scent and followed it closely. The scent became stronger with each step I took. Maybe I would find out who had such a wonderful scent.I followed the scent to the garden without noticing. I didn't realize until the scent of the ornaments in the garden hit my nose. Surprisingly, the scent that was emitted from th
Asher"What's wrong with you?" I asked with a confused and concerned look as I stared at my Beta, Lucas, who looked drunk. He was drunk. What had happened to him? Why did he drink so much? I was worried because he doesn't like to drink. And even if he drank, he wouldn't drink more than two bottles no matter how the event or outing was. I was very sure that something was wrong with him. Something must have happened to him that prompted him to drink that much. "Why did you drink this much?" I asked in a cold tone, and he laughed drunkenly. I signaled to the guard behind me, and they took him to the private suite. I climbed the stairs and followed them. "Drop me down," he yelled relentlessly even though he was weak. The guards ignored his scream and carried him on their shoulders. They dropped him gently on the couch when we arrived at the private suite that I reserved. "That's fine. You can leave," I waved my hand, and they left. "What happened to you? Why did you drink this muc
Alessia"Tell your mate to excuse us. I want to have a nice time with you,"I bit on my lower lips angrily as I listened to Jessica's order. How could she ask me to excuse them? What audacity!"How dare you talk to me in such a manner? What right do you have to send me out of this room?" I asked coldly, and she scoffed. She crossed her arms beneath her chest and looked away, unfazed by my threat. "I'm not here for you," she said and turned to Asher, who glared at her. "What do you want?" He asked, and she scoffed. "How dare you ask me such a question, Asher? I fainted and you left me in the hospital to myself. You didn't even bother to check on me," she said icily, and he lowered his head with a sigh. What was happening? Why was he with her when she fainted? I asked myself but I couldn't get an answer to it. I sat down in a corner and watched them quietly. "You haven't answered my question. Why are you here?" He asked coldly, unfazed by her threat. "I want to inform you about s
Asher"What do you have to say about my pregnancy?" She asked, and I scoffed. "What else do I have to say?" I replied nonchalantly and looked away with a cold look on my face. "Why are you staring at me in such a way? Aren't you happy that I'm pregnant for you?" She asked with a proud look on her face. "Of course, I'm not happy with you…" she interrupted me abruptly before I could complete my statement. She threw a cold glare at me, and I scoffed. "Why aren't you happy? You should be happy, right?" She asked, her voice was filled with pain and sadness. I ignored her and threw a cold glare at her. "Yes, I'm not happy. How could you dare do such a despicable thing?""You knew I wasn't in my right state of mind when I was mating with you, and then you decided it use it against me," I said coldly, and she swallowed hard. "No, I didn't do that…" she said in defense, and I scoffed."And besides, you should be happy that I'll provide an heir who would be your successor," she said, and
AlessiaArgh!I clenched my fist tightly and punched the wall beside me. Some part of the wall cracked, and I scoffed. I took a deep breath as I tried to control the anger that seeped through my veins. I was angry that Asher refused to listen to me before leaving. Not only did he have sex with her, but he also wanted to accept the unborn child as his child. It was unacceptable!I felt heartbroken and sad when I remembered how he called me a bad person because I told him to instruct Jessica to abort the pregnancy. Truly, I didn't want her to abort the pregnancy but I wanted to use Asher to threaten her so that she could spill what was in her mind. I felt she was hiding something under her sleeves. They had sex one or two weeks ago, she suddenly got pregnant. It was normal for her to get pregnant within one or two weeks after having sex especially if she had her period. But what baffled me was that she didn't look sincere when she was handing the result to him. According to her body
Alessia "What are you doing here?" I asked in a cold tone as I turned my gaze to Derek, who walked into my room with a cunning smile on his face. "What do you mean? Why can't I be in the house of my girlfriend?" He asked and sat comfortably on the sofa beside me. I bit my lower lips angrily and cursed him under my breath. "I'm not your girlfriend," I said coldly, and he shook his head with a sigh. "Are you trying to deny me?" He asked calmly, and I scoffed. I didn't want to give him an audience. He stared at me intensely as though he wanted to devour me. "What do you mean? I have never been your girlfriend," I snorted and pushed his hand away from mine. He staggered backward and rubbed his hands. My heart skipped in fear as he stood before me at his intimidating height. "What do you mean? You asked me to be your boyfriend so why are you denying me?" He asked coldly, and I swallowed hard. "I thought I told you it was a game and it has ended. Hasn't it?" I asked as I t
DerekArgh!I grunted out with an angry look on my face as I walked out of her chamber. I bit on my lower lips as I remembered how my plan was ruined because of that despicable maid who barged into the chamber without knocking at the door. I promised myself to make her suffer for ruining my fun. Not only did she ruin the fun, but she also made Alessia scared of me. I was sure she would afford me like a plague after I had tried to sully her. I didn't mean to take such an action against her but I didn't have a choice. She was proving hard to get despite my efforts to make her fall in love with me. Not only did she reject me, but she was also deep into my brother. I have tried every possible way to destroy their relationship but they remained united. I knew there was no way to destroy their relationship so that's why I took such an action against her. I don't like to give up so I couldn't give in to defeat. I wanted to make Alessia mine no matter what. I snapped out of my thoughts
AlessiaMy heart skipped in fear as I listened to Derek's statement. What was he trying to do? It seemed he had found out that I wanted to report him to the Alpha so that was why he wanted to badmouth me before Asher. "My mate?""Yes, your mate isn't the person you think she is. She's the…" I took a deep breath and barged into the office without hesitation. I knew if I stayed behind, I would end up being exposed by Derek, and Asher wouldn't believe me if I told him about his brother assaulting me. Derek stared at me with a shocked expression on his face. He wasn't expecting to see me in Asher's office. I decided to turn the tides in my favor. Asher stared at me with a cute and charming smile on his face. "Why are you here, Alessia?" He asked calmly. "I came because I have something important to tell you. It would be better if your brother could excuse us," I said, and Derek snorted behind me. I ignored him and crossed my arms under my chest. "You want him to leave?" He asked wit
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
