Laura's point of view: "I do reject you!" he shouted while slamming my poor body into the wall, lurking behind me. I should've expected such treatment from Alpha Blades' only son. He wouldn't accept a weak omega like me to be his mate. In fact, I'm not angry with him as much as I am angry with my fate for binding me with such a jerk. "You will tell no living soul about that... us. If you do what I told you, expect the worst from me... Now, be a good she, and accept my rejection!" The pain inside my heart grew as he rumbled every word. Yet, I wasn't the one to show weakness... I was indeed nothing but an omega, but I wasn't shy of myself. I know for sure that every pack member, including omegas, has their impact on the pack. My father taught me to be proud of myself and never back off from any battle, even when it’s painful as hell. "I'm Laura Jonathan," I spoke proudly. "Nothing more than an omega... I gladly accept your rejection. In fact, I would have been the one rejecting yo
Laura's point of view:The music was loud, and the familiar disgusting scent of sweaty humans mixed with alcohol made me feel sick.I would normally mingle among these humans and dance until my body couldn't take it anymore.The loud music hurt my human ears, and the drink in my hands seemed to do wonders, as it was the only way for me to forget how unfair life could be.Indeed, I'm just a human. I've never shifted, nor do I believe I ever will.My 18th birthday was an awful day, the worst in my entire life. As if it wasn't enough for me not to shift, I was also rejected.I tried hard not to let the tear in my eye slide down my face. I don't show weakness, especially since I'm the only person left for my mother.Yes, my mom and I live alone, we don't have anyone by our side. We used to have a father, but he's gone. He's been gone for so long that it doesn't hurt as much as it used to.He was killed while protecting me from a rogue attack.No matter how hard I try to explain it, you wil
Laura's point of view:"See you at the run, Wolfie."It’s already been a week since I met the stranger at the bar, yet his last words kept repeating themselves in my mind like a promise that will come true.That kiss, that single kiss, has become a drug I'm addicted to, but I cannot have.It haunts me in my dreams, and even when I'm awake.Worse, I don't feel the same. Something inside me woke up the exact moment his soft, sweet, tasty lips touched mine.I shook my head while trying to push away all those worthless thoughts, then I collapsed onto my bed, exhausted. I couldn't sleep last night, and the night before.Furthermore, I am not just afraid, but terrified. Tonight is the big night, the moment the moon is spotted in the sky, and the run will start.The thing is, as a she-wolf, I need to shift, and when I do not...Well, I don't want to think about that either.A knock on the door brought me back to reality."Laura! Are you ready yet?" Mom sweetly called, but I could only help bu
Laura's point of view:It’s almost night. A few minutes are all that keep us all from running. Everyone seems to quietly enjoy their time, everyone but me.Of course, not only unmated wolves are welcome here. There are also mated couples who are here to celebrate such a magical night.I must admit that the bonfire looks quite appealing, and my body is so into giving in to the sweet melodies of drums.I would normally enjoy it all and wouldn’t find it hard to blend in between the wolves dancing around the bonfire. Still, I have more serious matters to think about for now.I stand along with the other rejected and unmated she-wolves, getting myself ready to run as fast as I can when it’s time. It’s a matter of twenty-four hours before my entire nightmare is over.I know I might lose my wolf once and forever. Still, it’s better than being enslaved in the hands of males who would want to break my soul and make an obedient breeding machine out of me.I was lost in my thoughts when I spotted
Laura's point of view:Darkness surrounded me everywhere. I don’t know how long I’ve been sleeping, but I guess it’s time to wake up. The first thing I noticed was that I wasn’t in my room."Where the hell am I?" I wondered deep inside myself before it all started coming back to my mind.I was on the run, and I was about to make it out of there free. Then I saw Julie, and I decided to help her. Noah was about to mark me, but he didn't...Worse, the stranger from the bar was the one marking me. It was then that I lost consciousness.Still, where am I right now?Something about this room doesn't seem right. It's as if I was moving.I stood up, left the bed where I was lying, and made my way right toward the door.What was I thinking? Of course, it would be locked.My head was still in a daze, and my mark spot was burning like hell. Still, my eyes were searching for a way out.Hopefully, my eyes spot a tiny window. Yet, it wasn't my way out. Nothing here seemed to be my way out.I was mov
Laura's point of view: I spent my entire life believing that our alpha packhouse was the biggest house my eyes would ever see. Well, that's a lie, a huge lie. I could not stop gasping the moment my eyes met the marvelous palace I was standing by its gates. I shifted my gaze from the place to my mate, whom I still don't even know his name. "Where are we?" I wondered, and with a smirk on his face, he answered. "Home, Wolfie..." My head started spinning around as realization started hitting me as hard as it could. Then I remembered what my mom had told me the day of the run when I was still in my room. "...Some people even claim that the alpha king would take part in the ritual this year..." Her voice kept repeating inside my head, creating a wave of uncertainties and doubts. Until I could hold it no more. "What's your name?" I questioned him while wishing the claims my mother told me about were anything but true. "Damien..." He started, but another loud gasp escaped from me, w
Laura's point of view: I can't imagine my life getting any more sinister. It's still hard for me to understand what happened a while ago. Well, it turns out that the mating ceremony that was prepared in the palace was in honor of Prince Damien, but not in my honor. Instead, another female named Selene had something to do with my mate. The furious, growling man was indeed the king, and of course, he wasn't on his own. Also by his side was the Queen, who was my mate's parents. None of them were making efforts to hide how much they despised me. Looking at the so-called Selene, I get why they would dislike me. She is also of high rank, stunningly beautiful, and is supported by a powerful father. One of the Lords who attended the ceremony, and based on the way he threatened me with death and promised the prince vengeance, was her father. Anyway, back to the lady that my mate was supposed to mate with. She was a graceful, gorgeous, good-looking she-wolf. You know, the type of fairyt
Laura's point of view: "I want to know who she is. What's between you two? Is she your mate?" I stated the facts. I've always hated being in the dark, and I couldn't stand not knowing what was happening around me. "She's not my mate!" He confesses, causing my heart to relax, but not for too long. What was coming was too much for me to handle. "She's my first love!" "You're what?" I chuckled while pushing him away from me. This time, he didn't hold me still. Instead, he let me go. I sat opposite the one who was supposed to be my second chance mate while waiting for a real answer, but he didn't say a thing. "Okay, I get it! You love her, and I wish I could be happy for you both, but I'm not. The thing is that I want to know... If she's the one you love, what am I to you? Why did you even involve me in the thing between both of you? Let me guess! Are you trying to make her jealous by using me? Of course, you would do it. I mean, what am I? Just an unknown omega from an unknown pack.
Laura's point of view: As I was done speaking to Avyanna, I immediately made my way back to New Orleans.I made sure that only the best of our enforcers were involved in this voyage to New Orleans.I wasn't planning to involve Damien, so I didn't tell him about the call from Avyanna nor what she told me about. Same goes for Amira and Alan.I wanted to get over with the mission as fast as possible, and be sure that both my daughters are safe.Perhaps, I’m over controlling as everyone claims, but if it’s all that I need to be to make sure that my twins get a safe life - then so I’ll be.Before the jet landed, I received the urgent information I requested about the so-called alpha Roger. I can gladly state that the information is good for nothing.Yet, what reason does he have to pursue my daughters, and even wish for my death?Could it just be that he is one of those stupid greedy alphas that dreams about taking the throne?Even if he is, he should be set as an example to anyone who da
Laura’s point of view: "I don't blame her for running… I would do the same if I were her!" Damien burst out with the words, and I felt angry at him.Instead of dealing with our kingdom's real issues, I'm locked here while trying to figure out where my daughters were.I have witches on my tail; vampires, and even traitorous wolves roaming around my kingdom, and instead of taking actions like true leaders, I’m here playing the role of the bad mother.Worse than that, my mate is not supportive of me. He thinks I’m quite paranoid by being overly controlling of everything.I would have gone too far to believe that he doesn't see things the way I do if he wasn't there with me through all the ups and downs I've been through.Sometimes, I wish I were just Laura, the mateless girl rejected by her alpha mate, and then my story ends.As for now, I seem to be fighting an endless war without having anyone on my side.Fun fact, when I first came to the Palace, I thought of Queen Sofia in the worst
Avyanna's point of view: She just shouted; the end stumped away from us, is she for real? Brandon seemed not to trust Roger's wolf, neither did I. I can’t say the same for Rebel. In no time, Brandon shifted to his wolf then went for a run. It was a sign that he was in no mood, and I kind of understood him. I have to say it again, foolishness runs in the blood of our family - it’s official. I mean, how could she be that dumb to trust someone she barely knows. I’ve seen his wolf, he is stronger than what he claimed. I doubt anyone could easily escape him. Anyway, since he wanted to play that game, I’ll be glad to play it with him. I closed my eyes while thinking about Luther, the only one that still can have a bit of control over Rebel, because the last I do remember was that she's really into the role of I am a queen and no one knows better than me. I closed my eyes, then called his name the same way Austin told me to do. Part of me didn't believe that the link would work. I
Roger's point of view:I might underestimate that Avyanna girl, but that is a mistake that will not happen again. I made a note in my mind about the importance of getting rid of her as soon as possible.As for now, and since I am already discovered, I needed to find a way to get myself out of this mess with less amount of damage.The moment Rebel spots me, her eyes were all in disbelief. In no time, she was making her way toward me.“Shift!” She ordered, and I did as I was told.In no time, I was in my human form, totally naked. Fun fact, I knew that I might find a piece of clothes somewhere near to me, but I didn’t care to find any.I wanted my future queen to see the difference between a real man and the fake one by her side.I kind of do not regret coming here, especially after that I learned that the Brandon guy isn’t a real deal in her life.Based on the argument they had - their entire engagement is nothing but an arranged one. She won’t be that hurt when I finish his life.Well,
Avyanna's point of view: Something doesn’t seem right. I tried to learn some few things about alpha Roger, but the thing was that I couldn’t find a thing about him. Firstly, it was because no one wanted to talk to me after what happened. Second, it was because there was indeed nothing about him. It all started when I saw my sister and Brandon leaving his office while arguing. As it seems, Brandon doesn’t seem to like him, nor trust him either. Fun fact, Rebel met him just one day, and she was willing to trust him. Well, it seems that foolishness wasn’t something related to only me. Our family has a huge history when it comes to foolishness. Anyway, what was suspicious was that he went after them without any of them noticing. I would normally follow all of them to see what’s happening. The thing was that no one was around me, and no one was in his office. So I would be too dumb if I missed such a chance. I slid inside his office after that I masked my scent. It was one of
Roger's point of view:I saw the look on her face when she knew what I was. I saw the fear that she had while looking deep into my eyes. Part of her didn't want to believe that the one standing in front of her is a true alpha. You might be wondering but a true alpha I can be. Well, you can tell that I am an alpha bloodline, but stronger than a normal alpha. Why? Well, that also can be explained. The more I kill the more I get stronger. It is always a matter of time before I started having all of whoever I killed. She knew that if I kill her right away, all her power, special gifts, and even title would belong to me. It's just that I'm not thinking of killing her at all. I do have some other plans for her. I am a great alpha, and I deserve a great mate. My destined mate was too weak and I don't deserve someone like her. The reason why I ended her life. I ended that weak human before any sort of bond can be created between both us. I can't deny it, I do have nightmare
Rebel's point of view:I didn’t know since when I was asleep, but it feels like forever. It is so comfy that I don’t want to wake up. Matter of fact, things don’t always go the way we want. My phone rang and I ignored it. Not when it rains again. Well, whoever it is that person is doomed to death. This is what I thought before I saw my mother’s number on the screen of my phone. I answered the call while trying to get myself ready for whatever she was preparing for me. After all, I did wrong when I decided to go against her and come here. Still, I won’t give up on my sister. I will not let her feel the loneliness that I grew up feeling years ago. I made my decision, and whatever result is waiting for me, I’m ready to take it. I answered my mom, and as expected, she was deadly worried and angry at both of me and Brandon. Not when I told her what happened a day ago. First, she wanted to come and join us both, but that wouldn’t be a good idea. The reason why she allowed me and B
Avyanna's point of view: My sister already spent hours in the packhouse, meanwhile, I and my mate decided to go back to my mother's house. Trying to know that I was totally happy seeing her, especially knowing that she was the reason both me and my mate had our life so far. Brandon is here too, it is right now with her at the office of Rogers's house. Still, I wouldn't deny feeling a bit jealous. Especially when everyone bowed to her. I felt that this could be me. The thing is that I've never cared about power, Glory, or anything other things my mom wants from me. And when I saw that the same people who wanted to hurt me were bowing, shaking with fear, and ready to do anything to please my sister, I wanted to be her for a moment. I shook my head trying to throw away all those things. All I want to focus on right now is that she came all the way searching for me, and even saved my life. I should be grateful, but it's time for me, and my mate to leave. Well, here comes the i
Rebel’s point of view: The fire burned through my veins the moment a vast alpha wolf aimed to kill my sister. Brandon ran straight toward both of them while trying to get between Alpha, Avy, and Peter. The weird thing was that Brandon was knocked down the moment he was near the wolf. Seeing through the situation, it wasn’t doing us any favor. As a matter of fact, I just arrived six minutes ago. Still, I can tell how strong this alpha is. I’m even doubting if any of us will make it with less damage if we fought against an entire pack with such a strong alpha. The reason why I decided to avoid the fight was still not to show any weakness. I growl, giving the alpha a warning, and also, showing my dominance of the entire pack. After all, I am the future werewolves’ Queen, and I won’t believe any of them would dare fight against me, even that strong alpha. As I expected, the moment all of them acknowledged my presence due to my dominant aura, they all bowed to me. When I say all,
