Arthur's pov
I sneered at the mess of orange juice on the floor just before I took a casual sip of my wine.
“Alpha Arthur, our VIP table is just across. Do you prefer we stand throughout the entire coronation?” My Beta, Jeremy sneered, swindling his own glass of wine.
“You're supposed to drive us back home tomorrow. Are you sure you should be drinking. You know how you are with hangovers.” I disregard his earlier question as I scanned the area with my eyes.
Where was she?
I swear I could smell her. Her scent was Invading my head, messing my senses in a way that infuriated me, because I rarely had anything on my mind which bothered me. But she… I hadn't met her, but she was all I could think of all night. It was either she was really good at hiding or she doesn't even realize it.
The moon goddess better not have given me a weakling for a mate. I am an Alpha King. I will not make a weak pussy my Luna.
“It's my last glass for the night. I swear.” He said before leading me to the VIP table out Infront of the stage where there were other tables around.
Esteemed guests, consisting of other Alphas from several packs and honorable guests all had their tables.
I on the other hand had wanted mine to be secluded, away from everyone else as I was least interested in faking a smile and pretending I liked anyone in the room. Unfortunately there was one other VIP table behind it and I recognized the woman admist her friends. Her father was the Shaman of the pack. Fiona.
From the corner of my eyes, I could see them fluttering their lashes at me, almost throwing their boobs in my face, but Jeremy did a pretty of keeping them away from me.
I impatiently stared at my wrist watch, wondering what was keeping him.
“Relax big guy. You always act like you're allergic to events. That's why no one wants to form an alliance with your pack.” Jeremy sneered.
He was the only being on earth who could talk to me the way he did and still go about with his head on his neck, that was because he was my best friend and younger brother.
“They don't want to form an alliance with me because they're all cowards.”
“There are rumors that the Alpha being coronated tonight plans on forming an alliance with yours.”
I couldn't help the sneering smirk on my lips. He sounded quite daring, unlike his coward of a father. Let's see if he'll be able to then.
“Do you think she'll take the bait?” From upfront, I could still hear Fiona and her friends whispering in hushed voices.
Werewolves generally had sharp hearing senses, but they spoke in such a low synchronized tone it was obvious they didn't want to be heard. I on the hand, being bored and curious listened in.
They had forgotten an Alpha was right upfront so I could easily hear everything they said.
“Julianne is stupid as hell. That's why she'll never see it coming,” Fiona spoke with so much spite, I wondered what rhis Julianne giel had done to her. “I've already spoken to one of the guards. Once Julianne drinks the spiked drink, I'll send her upstairs and there, the guard will finally take her virginity .”
“It's a risky plan Fiona. How are we sure she won't put up a fight.”
“I didn't just spike the drink with any ordinary drug. It's a fast action Aphrodisiac. The guard should be the one on the look out this time around.” AT her words, everyone left and I was just left speechless.
Suddenly, the mate scent hit me again, but this time, it was so strong I felt it clench my heart tightly, making me forget to breathe for a few seconds.
“Claim your mate Arthur! She's right there!” My mate lashed in the confines of my mind, straining to take control.
I turn without bothering to care I might attract attention and see her, dressed in a maid apron and holding a glass of wine with shaky hands.
Just as my heart had swelled in excitement of meeting and marking my mate, it deflated considerably at the sight of her.
A maid? An Omega was my mate? The future bearer of the heir to my Empire was a mere Omega. I could barely even get a wiff of her wolf nor connect with it which meant she either didn't have one or it was very weak.
I was so angry I turned away, ignoring the nagging feeling in me to mark her and claim her as my own. How long have I waited for this moment, only to be disappointed and humiliated in such way.
“Julianne it's just wine. We're at a party so drink it.”
My heart sunk to my chest when I realized their victim, Julianne was no other than my mate.
I squeezed my fist as I tried to focus on the performance on the stage, looking for anything, any body which would help.me take my mind off her.
Whatever they had planned for her was none of my business. She's not my mate and she never will.
“I'll be back.”
“Alpha Arthur, you're not supposed… “
But I had already matched far off, ignoring his words. It seemed very inch of the dance floor had traces of her on it so with a cup of strong alcohol, I took the the stairs.
I didn't know for how long I had to wait, moving to and fro on the upper floors, downing glass after glass of shots until I couldn't think anymore, but only thoughts of her.
I would just leave.
With that, I began heading for the stairs when I see a man bundle a small woman into a room admist her protest. The mate scent drew me a few steps towards the room but I held back, eyes brimming in hate and anger.
Do I seriously feel pity for someone like her. She's a maid. A useless Omega. She's only fulfilling one of her purposes as a sex slave. I shouldn't think much of it.
I turn, ignoring whatever was going on, but my wolf was relentlessly on holding back. “Our Mate's in danger!”
“We don't have a mate!” I growled, but I couldn't move, each time I would turn back to the room, worried at the sudden silence. The thought of another man's hands on her infuriated me the more and in seconds, I swiftly kicked down the door and made my way in.
My mate, seeing her up close, looked small, frail, scared and confused on the bed, already fully naked while the disgusting beast stood over her, already running his dirty fingers across her legs.
“A- Alpha Arthur.” He starts stuttering as I approach him, but a punch to the nose sends him staggering back, blood already matting his lips like a thick coat.
“You have less than 3 seconds to get out of my sight or I'll make sure you never see the light of day again.” Before I could finish, he grabbed his clothes and dashed out of the room.
My eyes langly fell on the naked woman on the bed, taking in how sexy she looked. She was small, but her curves were one that belonged to a fully grown woman. Seeing her waist, my throat grew patched as I imagined them In my hands as I pumped into her.
I wonder how her pussy would feel around my cock.
A moan from her lips snapped me from her reverie. She looked flushed and rubbed both legs uncomfortably across each other.
“I feel so hot… “ she moaned again, cupping her bossoms and pressing it against her chest. I had wanted to leave, every part of me wanted to walk right across the room and run for my life, but every bit of sanity was lost seeing her in heat, and touching herself.
I lean in to Inhale her scent, a muffled growl leaving my lips as I flicked my tongue over the sensitive area around her neck. She moaned, cupping her arms around my neck just before she kissed me. The next second, my arms grabbed my waist, pulling her close to me, our bodies entangling as we collapsed on the bed together.
Julianne ’s pov“I swear she's in there. She disappeared during the party and thought we wouldn't notice.”My head was in so much pain as I weakly sat up on the bed, but I could clearly tell the voice belonged to Fiona and it was getting closer. So did footsteps.“Julianne would never do such a thing. If it's another one of your games Fiona, I'm not interested.” Adrien’s followed next and my eyes flashed open, every hint of sleep clearing from them immediately.However, as I moved to get out of the bed, I felt a pain searing up between my legs and from the shock of the pain, I gasped loudly.“Julianne ?” Suddenly the door burst open , and I swung my head up to meet Adrien’s horrified eyes as they met mine.“Adrien…” my shaky lips as they pronounce his name feel as though they want to fall apart just as every inch of my being.“Julianne … what… what's going on?”It was then I followed his eyes down and realized I was naked with only the sheets barely covering me up.“See? I told you did
Three Years LaterArthur's POV“Yes, yes… oh fuck, yes!!!” Laramie squirmed underneath me just as she had her orgasm. In that instant, I groaned, mounting hard on her, my grip tight around her waist as I pumped my seeds into her without restraint.“Yes baby. Fill me up with your cum. I love having you inside me, Arthus.” Her moans was succulent as her lips themselves.She wrapped her legs around my waist u till she milked me me dry, us both sighing as I rolled off her onto the side of the bed.After a short while, she crawled onto my body, her slender fingers running across my chest as she seductively ran her eyes from my torso back to my eyes.“How about another round and call it a night, husband?”I push her off me and she immediately sits up just as I do the same.“I think that's enough, Laramie. You can leave now?”She scoffed, snatching her robe from the floor where it had been discarded earlier before wrapping it around her body and marching out.I sighed, barely paying heed to h
Julianne didn't bother acknowledging his presence after he called her name; her hands snaked around her daughter's back tightly as if Arthur had the intention of sweeping her away from him. Even though he looked shocked at her presence, she took a step, backing him, and another one tried to leave."I am sorry to jump into you in this manner, and I am sorry for my daughter's behavior; she is always like that anytime I chide her, always getting angry and running off to play in the woods." Julianne took a deep shuddering breath whilst taking another step from him which is quite measurable away from Arthur. "My apologies again, I will just take her away with me and keep her locked in. I have a lot of chores to do." She said, making excuses, and she turned to leave, avoiding his eyes."Wait," Arthur took a step forward and grabbed her arms, Julianne shook aggressively and turned to him."What?" She gave him a piercing look enough to cut a heart into two, and thanks to the fact that the dau
Arthur's POVI watched her swing her hips and leave with Atonnia in her arms; when she turned, I stared at the child in her arms. I was consumed with love for her; even in her sleep, she looked so beautiful and at peace. She opened her sleepily and raised her head to look at me as if feeling the attraction and bond lost. She smiled at me, and I got lost in her pretty smile.Julianne places her hand on Atonnia's head letting her back softly. I hissed out of frustration that I couldn't get her to hand over the child in my custody.I turned around and jumped into my car; I ignited the car, revved it, revised it roughly, and drove back to the pack house.I have been with so many concubines at different times and numerous hours, and just one night stand with my supposed omega mate produced me a beautiful heir. And to think I have been stressing and drowning myself in worry and fear that I would be disthroned from the pack due to no heir. I never had the idea that my heir was living and co
Author's POVIt didn't take long for the news of the Alpha's miraculous baby with an Omega after several years of trying with different concubines spread around the elder's ears. The rumors reached the elders of the pack of the arrival of mother and daughter and gossiped confirmed it that the little girl looked very much like Arthur: Brown hair, Gold irises, and the same round beautiful face."I think it is time we hold a meeting about their arrival right? Since the moon goddess had deemed it fit to bless him through one of his self-possessive and malicious characters, we should not waste time in mating so our pack can be fully stabilized." Elder Thompson, blessed with a unique and rare red hair which only his family bloodline possesses, gathered the remaining pack elders for a meeting, ng, being the eldest among them."Yes, I agree with you; if Arthur has brought them to the pack, then I am sure he hopes to mate with them." Elder Green supported. He has the weirdest green body ever,
Author's POV "Where's Arthur?" Julianne asked his guard."He is in the courtyard, sitting near the garden." The guards replied."I guess you are here to berate me about my offer; I must warn you I am not In the mood to listen to it. Just leave me alone." Arthur said as soon as he saw her approaching him."And I guess my scent is stronger for you to perceive; if not, how do you know I am the one," Julianne said, taking the seat opposite him, she crossed her legs and placed her hands on her chin, staring at him."What do you want? You have made your point at the meeting room and have made a fool of myself." Arthur ignored her earlier words."You made a fool of yourself the moment you raped me, stole my dignity and pride, rejected me, and chased me out of your pack," Julianne said through gritted teeth."The second time I am hearing it today, can I have my peace and live in guilt you as you have bestowed it upon me?" "Well, to shame your enemies and grant the one thing you desire, I ac
Arthur POV I stared at Jeremy, incredulous as soon as his so-called advice slipped out of his mouth. Sometimes, I wonder if Jeremy was truly birthed by my parents, but seeing her in my features made me always think otherwise. My family is the only ones with the features we have, so definitely Jeremy is my brother, but sometimes he thinks out of place. Like what he is asking me to do right now.I decided to ask him again to make sure my ear was not the one hearing things. Sometimes, I misinterpret his suggestion for something else."You think I should pursue Julianne? Like I should woo her with words and gifts like you have said?" I repeated, ensuring I understood his absurd suggestion.Jeremy nodded, deadpan. "Yes, it's perfect. In as much as she's beautiful, intelligent, and—"I cut him off, shaking my head. "Jeremy, you can't be serious right now. And who is talking about beauty?"His expression remained earnest. "Think about it, Arthur. Julianne's connection to Antonnia makes her
Arthur's POVI was practicing swordsmanship with the male fighters in the pack while Jeremy watched. My movements were fluid, the result of years of training. Jeremy's keen eye scanned every strike, and every parry I made I swung my sword, its familiar weight an extension of my arm. The clash of steel on steel echoed through the training grounds as I sparred with the pack's top fighters.Jeremy watched from the sidelines, his eyes scrutinizing every move."Your technique's improved; I thought sleeping with different women and womanizing over these years would have made you lose your skill of fighting," he said as I disarmed my opponent.I smiled, wiping sweat from my brow. "You know, sometimes I do wonder if you are brother because the way you talk to me sometimes is quite funny. Do you think womanizing would make me lose my skill? Or do you want to be greater than me?" I smirked."Of course, once someone is so interested and deeply addicted to something, he tends to forget other ski
Arthur's POV After what the maid said since she didn't whisper it to my ears but out loud to our hearing, and also the gossip spread from people who were closer to our hearing range to people spread out in the hall; Gasps and murmurs spread like wildfire through the congregation.The maid's words hung in the air in silence, with whispers, and fearful expressions written all over their faces. "Antonnia, the young lady, has fallen gravely ill.""Julianne," I caught her on time before she kissed the ground like I said earlier. She turned to stare at my grip on her hand while I tightened it."You have to calm down and not injure yourself. Let's go see her together." I whispered, steadying her in case she tried to slip away from my hold, thereby causing herself danger.My face, once radiant with joy, now clouded with concern. But I swiftly composed myself, my expression turning resolute. For her, to reassure me. I appreciated her strength, but my mind reeled with worry.Antonnia, daughter
Julianne's POV Arthur's eyes locked onto mine, his face inches from mine. I felt that familiar spark like heard ago at Adrien's mating ceremony, right in the hall when I was carrying trays of juice, but anger flared within me.How could I forget what he did? He took my innocence and left me vulnerable to my pack's ridicule. They shunned me, called me weak; they called me dirty and a hypocrite. He disgraced and humiliated me in front of the whole pack members, he made Adrien hate and lose his trust in meI was forced to flee l, alone, as there was nowhere to go since Adrien chased me out of the pack and scared. And when I finally tracked Arthur to his pack, what did I find? He wrapped around another woman, his lips on hers.The rejection stung. He sent me away, declared me unwanted, an omega, unworthy.Now, as Arthur's hands reached for me, I pushed him away."Don't, don't you dare touch me, Arthur," I warned, my voice firm.Arthur's eyes narrowed. "Julianne, what's wrong?"Everything
Julianne POV As I stepped into Arthur's house, a sea of hostile faces greeted me. His concubines emerged from the shadows, their eyes flashing with resentment.Jasmine, in particular, glared at me with venom. Her eyes seemed to bore into my soul."What brings you here?" Stella sneered, her voice dripping with malice."Arthur's decisions are getting more ridiculous by the day because I don't understand the meaning of this cheap thing here." Angel chimed in, her tone laced with disdain.Laramie snorted. "He's lost his mind, favoring you over us, not is so dumb and stupid of him to behave in that manner."Avery's voice was barely above a whisper, but her words cut deep. "You're just a temporary distraction. He'll tire of you soon. I am not trying to break your heart so early, baby girl. He is going to tire of you soon, and when he does, he is going to bring someone else, and you will get pained."I stood tall, refusing to let their hatred intimidate me. They can go to hell for all I car
Arthur's POVAs soon as Adrien left Julianne's quarter, she warned Antonia not to step foot outside the house or else she wouldn't see Arthur ever again."I will take you to a faraway land where Arthur can't reach and where you can't see him, so be a good girl and don't dare mommy by disobeying her, okay?" Julianne's smiled kissing her forehead."Yes, Mommy, do be quick; I am hungry." Antonnia whined, taking a step back into the house with the only impression of telling Julianne she would keep to her promise."Don't worry, I won't stay long where I am off to, I will be back before you know it." Julianne stood upright, Antonnia nodded and with one last stare at her mother, she banged the door.****I saw Julianne run past the side of the field where I stood watching the guard's train; I became curious and trailed her to Jeremy's office.She opened the door without knocking while I stood outside Jeremy's office, listening in on his conversation with Julianne.Julianne's voice was urgent
Julianne's POV I returned to the quarters after the unspeakable behavior with Arthur. Hide demands to be the Alpha of the pack. And she already told me that she loves spending time with Arthur, he plays with her I was preparing dinner, lost in thought, of what transpired today in Arthur's room, when I noticed Antonnia slipping out of the room.At first, I thought nothing of it, but then a nagging feeling crept in. She might be heading to Arthur's place again. My heart sank.I quickly wiped my hands and called out, "And where do you think you are going, young lady?"She played deaf and dumb the first time and continue heading towards the head.My fury multiplied, and without thinking, I yelled out. "Antonia, you heard me where do you think you are going?" She froze in the doorway, turning back with a forced smile. "Yes, Mommy?"I narrowed my eyes. "Don't even dare start now, Antonnia. I asked you a question; it is best if you reply to me rather than playing your usual 'deaf and dumb
Arthur's POVI slammed my fist on the table, frustration boiling inside me. "How could she?" I muttered to myself. I had humbled myself and said please, and still, Julianne refused me. Her rejection stung."How could she refuse me even though with the pleading? Didn't she know it took me a lot of nerve to do so, and she just behaved like some kind of ..." I sighed, palming my face in my arms.I thought I had done everything right. I opened up, showed her my vulnerable side, and begged her to give me a chance, to give me a chance to show her in this merciless being called Arthur, there's still a chance to love someone, to care for them no matter who or what they are. But no, she still said no; she fucking said no to my face and walked off like it meant nothing to her like I did not say it.And what again did she say to Jeremy? "Kindly do me a favor, darling; I know you have a hand in all these silly changes of character in your brother; stop telling him what to do and let him feel rem
Julianne's POVAs soon as I got back to the quarters with Antonnia in my arms, I locked the door and sat her down on the sofa in our room."Antonnia," I barked, my eyes gazing intently at her.She recoiled back in the chair and folded her arms underneath her breast, pouting her little lips in a stubborn fit of rage, her legs crossed as she turned away from me to the window."Don't dare me now, child, answer me when I call you," I said through gritted teeth. "Antonnia," I called again."I'm right here mommy." She replied still folding her hands and looking out of the window."And that is not the way to behave to your mother, turn around and sit properly like a good girl, and look at me when I talk." I ordered.She muttered one of her little silly words and then released her hands and positioned herself facing me but not looking at me; her eyes were on the ground where my feet lay."Why did you go out of the house without telling me? Do you know the panic I felt when I didn't find you,
Julianne's POVI knew that Antonnia left the room in anger because she didn't get the answers to the questions of what we had been discussing for days, even though living in a packed house, it doesn't stop me from teaching my daughter the little I know about our traditions and customs, she supposes that she won't listen, and the makes me wonder how she would learn that of Arthur's and acknowledge the fact she is the heir.I checked the weather outside, it was approaching evening, and she was yet to be back for dinner, which left me worried and wondering what could be wrong. No matter how angry she is, she doesn't stay out so long, but now she has.I grabbed my cotton cardigan and put it on, and then I grabbed my phone and walked out of the room to search for her. I searched the perimeter of our quarters but couldn't find her. It was then realization dawned on me that she was not anywhere close to the quarters. I grabbed my phone and dialed Jeremy's number."Jeremy, Antonia's gone, I d
Arthur's POVI walked out furiously on her and from the quarters with one place on mind to calm down my nerves: my chambers. I shoved the guards aside and banged the door to their hearing. Once inside I slammed my fist into the wall, the sound echoing through my room. Fury coursed through my veins like molten lava. I shifted and hit my body on the wall, and then shifted back to a human, falling in shock from the pain; I stood up slowly and hit my hands on the wall.How could fate do this to me? How could the gods listen to the prayers of a mad woman, someone who is hellbent on spoiling my joy? Why would the gods answer her prayers?So while I was thinking she was preparing for the mating ceremony, I never knew she was praying for the cancellation of the ceremony.I thought of Antonnia, my plans, my future, the life I dreamt of having with her now that she is in my arms but everything shattered because of Julianne.So it was Julianne all this while? She was the disaster and the sudden
