"But that's not a proper rejection," she said with eyes wide open while trying her best not to raise her voice."I know it's not but what can I do….. I can't possibly stop him which you know" I said trying so hard to act strong in her presence. One thing I hate to show to people is my weakness…. I was trained to be a man of myself though sometimes a little care and love isn't too much to ask for."Are you really sure you can handle this?" She asked me with eyes full of pity and care."At least it is far better than the insult I get every day from him"."Okay fine but you know if you need a shoulder to cry mine is always padded to absorb your tears" she added while we hugged each other.I waved her bye while shutting the door behind me. Yes I know I might have acted nonchalantly about the issue of him rejecting me publicly but can I really cope?....... I'm used to his insult already and I believe one day he will grow to love me for who I am."Well that day isn't coming" my wolf chipped
"Okay milady" she responded with a bow.I chuckled lightly at her gesture….. Well Tyler might not feel a thing for me but he trusted me with his meal which is more of an honor to me.I smiled gently at the thought, it seems I still have an upper hand than Nabita though I know I've lost my position already but am not ready to let go.I walked over to the hall where the banquet is to be held….. after each gala night celebration, the host alpha and Luna will hold a meal banquet in appreciation to the alphas and luna's that attended.Though ours was a mess and all thanks Tyler and his side chick who messed things up for him.Speaking of Tyler I haven't set my eyes on him since he left the gala night….. I guess that should be the least of my worries.I opened the door leading to the hall to see the worst scene of my life.I tried picturing it together but it did not work out, I had to hold on to the steel door for support so as not to fall flat on my face."Am I dreaming or I entered the wr
I sighed tiredly while I grabbed a seat to lay my lazy ass on…. This looks so beautiful."Have you set up the projector?" I asked the guy who was called to set up the electronic gadgets."Yes Luna, I'm done with everything" he said with a smile."I'll drop the system on my way out, to give you access to the projector," he quickly added.I wave him off…… I used my hand to help raise my chin as I am feeling somehow dizzy."Maybe I should go rest in my room, I still have three more hours left for the dinner to start" I mutter to myself.I tried standing straight but my legs felt too weak to stand on their own…. I had to hold the table so as not to fall."What's happening to me?" I asked myself slowly while holding on to the table for support."Or am I pregnant?" I chuckled at the thought.If I was I would have been the happiest wolf on earth but it's just a thought that can't come true while I'm still with Tyler or maybe it can in the future which I really doubt.After some minutes of try
That's a promise I made to myself….. I hid my face behind Tyler pretending to be tears while smiling mischievously.Flashback On my way to the jewel store to get some new accessories, I passed by a shop where a lady more of like an omega was beaten ruthlessly.I moved closer to the scene to have a clearer picture to the situation in ground but came to face the most beautiful, spotless face I've ever seen.Though her face was covered with bruises and blood but yet she looks dangerously beautiful….. truth be told I hate complimenting my fellow wolf but I couldn't help.I tried walking away from the scene but I could even lift my feets up so I decided to interfere into the issues."Hi, what does she does wrong?" I asked one of the onlookers who was quite closer to me."I heard she stole something but I'm not really sure of the whole story…. You can asked the store keeper, that's him over there" he said pointing to where the store keeper sat relaxing.I moved closer to him holding my bag
"Come let me make you something to fill your stomach with before you leave" I said to him while gesturing him out of the room leaving Tyler behind.He smiled slightly at me while following me behind…. I took him to our private dining room to make a feast for him."Marissa" I shouted upon my voice to draw her attention."Yes milady" she came running into the dining room while bowing her head."Do you care for something light or what would you like to have?" I asked him while drawing a chair for him and myself."Anything you give to me will surely go down well with me" he replied politely with smiles plastered on his face."Go get him something to fill up his stomach" I ordered while she ran out of the room to carry out the order I gave out to her."So how's the luna's condition?" I asked the question that has been on my mind…. I want to be sure he didn't suspect the fluid I injected in her body before he came."She's fine, I guess it's because of the drug she used that made her unconsci
Nabita POV cont'd She looked confused and frustrated at the same time cause i don't seem to get whatever she's saying or where she's driving at."Don't you get my point?" She asked when she saw how lost I was."Nah I don't really get it," I said to her, shaking my head sideways."What I am trying to say is that I hope there's nothing going on between them?" She asked while looking sideways to be sure no one is eavesdropping on us."Marissa just do as I've instructed you and don't do more okay," I warned her."Yes but…." "But what??? Just do as i say and leave the rest for me to handle" I snapped at her getting pissed off at her curosity."I'm sorry" she said bowing her her head apologetically."It's fine, hope you gave her that drug to use?" I asked."Yes I did just as you've instructed me to" she explained."Alright you can take your leave now and don't come here if I don't send for
I massaged my thighs slowly,trying to keep my moans in check….. the last time I checked I never took any sex enhancement pills."So what's happening to me?"I kept touching myself because I'm the only one left in the hall. I sat on the floor,spread my legs wide apart while fingering myself.I kept moaning quietly. My back aches me seriously as I need someone to pleasure me….. I kept fondling my breast while massaging my v area.My body kept asking for more but my senses aren't lost yet, so I tried cautioning myself from going further but the urges are getting high.I hurriedly stood to my feet before rushing to my room but got stopped by a familiar scent."Are you okay?" The voice asked me from behind while holding my hand.That's it I lost my sanity and senses immediately with just that little touch….. I pushed the person to the wall roughly, not minding if he hurt his back.I slammed my lips on his roughly, fe
I couldn't go to my room because of the shame, I couldn't face the embarrassment.The shame of facing the lycan king despite the way I threw myself shamelessly at me yesterday is still very much fresh on my mind.I sat at the edge of the bed looking at how messy my life has become….. I can't come out of the room so as not to face Tyler's wrath and also the stigmatization from the pack members."What are you thinking?" Jessie asked me, while drawing a short stool to sit opposite me."I'm fine" I said while signing out loudly."You know you can talk to me right?" She said rubbing the back of palm gently."I know I can but it's very hard to say," I said to her while trying to control my tears."Is it about the video?" She asked.I nodded my head in response while sobbing quietly."Did you really cheat on the alpha?" She asked, focusing all her attention on me."I didn't do such a thing" I said to
Uriahs POV:After my intense confrontation with Alpha Denzer, the days that followed were surprisingly calm and peaceful – or at least as peaceful as they could be in such a grim situation. I had made a choice, a difficult one, to act like a devoted mate to Denzer for the sake of my son, Arion. While I couldn't bear the thought of being intimate with him, I had to keep up the act to keep my son safe.Denzer seemed to give me space, and I was grateful for that. He didn't push himself on me, and I took advantage of this by keeping my distance whenever he tried to be close. I always found an excuse or pretended to be occupied with some task, making sure there was a barrier between us at all times. It was a delicate balance, not too submissive, but not too rebellious either. I knew that the moment I resisted too much, it could endanger Arion's life.In the days that followed, I spent most of my time with Arion. Alpha Denzer allowed me to be with him, and I cherished every moment we ha
Xavier's POV:I immediately summoned the pack members and relayed my suspicions. "Anya might have acted through a proxy," I explained. "It's time we find out who might have helped her."Lucas and the others nodded in agreement, and the search took a new direction. We questioned every pack member, and it wasn't long before we found a lead—a young wolf who seemed nervous and evasive."Tell me the truth," I demanded, staring into the young wolf's eyes. "Did you have any involvement in Uriah's kidnapping?"His gaze shifted, and he hesitated before finally confessing. "Yes, Alpha. Anya coerced me into helping her. She threatened my family if I didn't do as she said."My heart sank, realizing that Anya's web of deception had ensnared others as well. "You will be forgiven if you cooperate fully," I said sternly. "Tell me everything you know about the kidnapping."He hesitated, fear still evident in his eyes, but he eventually provided valuable information. He revealed the location where Any
Xavier's POVI stood in my study, my mind focused on the task at hand. I needed to find Uriah, and to do that, I had to start from the beginning. My instincts told me that Anya had been hiding something, and I needed to confirm my suspicions."Beta Lucas," I called, my voice steady. Lucas was one of my most trusted advisors, and I knew I could rely on his judgment.He entered the room promptly, bowing respectfully. "Alpha Xavier, you called for me?""Yes," I replied, "I need you to gather a team of our best trackers and investigate the place where Uriah was last seen with Anya before she was kidnapped."Lucas furrowed his brow. "But Anya claimed that Uriah willingly left with Alpha Denzer on her own."I fixed him with a cold look. "Anya had hidden herself and her ambitions very well. She wouldn't make up a story about Uriah leaving of her own free will with Alpha Denzer."Lucas hesitated for a moment, then nodded in understanding. "You're right, Alpha. I apologize for being short-sigh
Xavier's POV:After the party celebrating Alex's first birthday, the little one was sent back to his room with the help of his nanny. Meanwhile, the elders, including Anya, and I had gathered for a small gathering. Food and drinks were brought out, but no one dared to bring up Uriah's missing issue. They all knew my temper, and they didn't want to risk annoying me further.As I took a seat at the table, the elders greeted me warmly. "Alpha Xavier, it's good to see you join us," one elder said with a smile."Yes, it's been a while since we all gathered like this," added another elder."I'm glad we can come together and celebrate," I replied, trying my best to appear relaxed.Anya, sitting next to me, chimed in, "Indeed, it's a joyous occasion. Baby Alex's first birthday is a momentous event for the pack."Another elder raised his glass and said, "To the future of our pack and to the health and happiness of our young Alpha."We all clinked our glasses together, toasting to the well-
Xavier's POV: As the days stretched on, the search parties scoured the forests and neighboring territories tirelessly. We followed every lead and pursued every possible clue, but Uriah seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth. Then, one day, as I was contemplating our next move in the study, I received a message that Anya wanted to see me again. This time, I rushed to her room with a mix of hope and anxiety. Upon entering, I saw her lying on the bed, her face still pale and her eyes red from crying. I approached her cautiously, unsure of what to expect. "Anya," I said gently, "how are you feeling?" She looked up at me, her expression filled with sorrow and regret. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she began to apologize profusely. "Alpha Xavier, I'm so sorry. I betrayed your trust, and I couldn't protect Uriah," Anya begged. “It's okay,” I said with a calm look as I looked at her . “I am suppose to protect this pack. But all that I have done is cause pains. I'm no
Xavier's POV:Days turned into weeks, and the search for Uriah seemed to be fruitless. Every lead we pursued turned out to be a dead end, and my heart sank with each passing day. Anya remained in a coma, and she was the only person who could shed light on what exactly happened in the forest that fateful night.One day, as I was discussing some ideas with the pack's scouts on how to track Uriah, I received urgent news that Anya had awakened. I hurriedly left the study room and rushed straight to Anya's room.When I entered, I saw her lying on the bed, her face pale and her eyes filled with tears. My heart softened at the sight of her vulnerability, but I pushed away my emotions, focusing on the urgency of the situation."Anya," I said coldly, trying to hide my own turmoil, "what were you doing in the forest that day with Uriah?"Tears streamed down Anya's face, and she began to beg for forgiveness. But I couldn't afford to be swayed by emotions. I needed answers.She stammered, "Uriah.
Xavier's POV:After the devastating encounter with Alpha Denzer and the truth revealed by Anya, I knew I couldn't face this alone. The burden of finding our son and protecting Uriah from further harm was too great. I needed the wisdom and counsel of our elders and betas. Gathering them in the pack's meeting hall, I laid out the situation, my voice filled with determination and sorrow."I called you all here because we face a grave crisis. Arion has been taken from us, and Uriah is in pain beyond measure. I need your advice on how we can handle this situation and bring our son back home safely," I said, looking into the eyes of my pack members, hoping to find some guidance.The elders and betas exchanged glances, understanding the severity of the situation. After a moment of silence, Beta Elias stepped forward, his voice firm yet compassionate."Alpha Xavier, we stand with you and Luna Uriah during this difficult time. We shall do everything in our power to find Arion and put an end
Alpha Denzer's POV:Luna's defiant words lingered in my mind as I left her to stew in the darkness. "I will never be yours, Alpha Denzer. My heart belongs to Xavier, and I will fight you until my last breath." Oh, how she tried to resist. It amused me to see her struggle, but she had no idea of the depths of my determination.A week had passed since I last visited her. It was time to remind her of her precarious situation and the consequences of defying me. As I entered the dimly lit room, her fierce gaze met mine, but I could sense the fear hidden beneath her anger. Perfect."Where is my son? What have you done with him?" she demanded, her voice wavering just enough to betray her uncertainty.I took a step closer, relishing the opportunity to toy with her emotions. Gripping her chin firmly, I replied, "You should watch that mouth of yours, Luna. You're in no position to make demands."Her eyes burned with hatred, and I felt a rush of excitement at the challenge she presented. "Tell m
Uriahs POV:But my hope was short-lived when I discovered that the opening led to another part of the palace, heavily guarded by Alpha Denzer's most loyal and vicious betas.I knew attempting to escape through that passage would be suicidal, but I couldn't give up. I needed to find a way to get to Arion and break free from this nightmarish prison.Each day, I observed the movements of the guards, searching for any weakness or vulnerability that I could exploit. I had to be patient, calculating, and seize the right opportunity.One night, the perfect moment presented itself. A guard left his post momentarily to attend to something, leaving a small window of opportunity.I sprang into action, my heart pounding in my chest. I moved as quietly as a shadow, slipping past the remaining guards, and making my way towards where Arion was being kept.But fate had other plans for me. Just as I was about to reach my son, a strong hand gripped my arm, pulling me back into the darkness."Did you re
