Jane I freeze at the King's words and my heart sinks in despair. My mate, Vishal, is also short of words. His gaze darts to me and I see that he feels trapped by the Alpha-King's question. It is true that Vishal hasn't marked me yet, and that's because he wants to do things the right way. We were living in the human world, and I'm yet to be introduced to his Alpha as his mate, all these must be done before he marks me. As a Beta, he has to stick to the rules and traditions of his pack. And that is understandable. But right now, I wish he didn't refuse to mark me. I wish he did it when we had sex. That way, the Alpha-King wouldn't challenge him this way. "What? Have you suddenly gone mute?!" The Alpha-King taunts my mate, but Vishal doesn't say a word. He is still being held by the Alpha’s men. "Of course, he will go mute. He has no proof that my daughter is his mate. So how can he defend his lies?!" Father mocks, laughing dryly. I feel anger sizzling within me, and I have this
Jane. I get dragged into the Alpha King's car, and we zoom off. Vishal is still held hostage and was yelling out my name, desperately struggling to free himself from the Alpha King's warriors, but they overpowered him, keeping him firmly on the ground. He was begging me not to go with the Alpha King. But how could I not? The Alpha King will kill him if I refuse to go with him. I don't want him to die. I have to protect him at all costs, even if that means selling my soul to the devil. "What are you going to do to him?" I ask the Alpha King who was sitting next to me in the car. He smiles in triumph, as though he just won some trophy. "Well, I do want to kill him, trust me. I badly want to kill that swindler. But we just had a deal and I plan to stick to it." "So, you are not going to kill him?" I interrogate further, wanting to be certain that no harm would come to Vishal. "Yes, but you will have to do whatever I ask you to. That's the price you have to pay for me to spare
Richard. I'll say it again – Jane is my mate. She's mine. I repeatedly say that to myself, so I don't ever think otherwise. I might have rejected her at the onset, but that doesn't mean anything now. I want her back, and I'll have her back, no matter what it takes. I'll crush anyone who tries to take her away from me. The Goddess knows I won't spare their lives. I cannot and will not trade her for anything. And if she thinks of replacing me and getting involved with another man, then I'll have to kill him. Just like that psycho swindler, she took as a second mate. I can't believe he's just a low life, but he had the guts to challenge me and hold my mate's hands in my presence. And then he goes ahead to boldly claim her, while he hasn't even marked her. No one has ever had such boldness against me. To think he's just from one of these poor packs makes me even angrier. He is no match for me, not in strength and not in wealth. He is a non-entity. What he did back there is unforgiva
RichardWe arrive at my pack about an hour later. All through the ride, I have my fingers inside her pussy, toying with it to my satisfaction. She keeps struggling and trying to fight me off, so I have to tie her hands behind her back. I carry her to my bedroom and toss her on the king-sized bed. Just as soon, I begin to take off my clothes and toss them aside. I might have fucked her in the car, but that’s not enough to make up for all the time she has been away.“Please, don’t do this again. We already did it in the car, right?” She pleads, shedding those fake tears. This mate of mine is such a manipulator. One minute, she’s fighting me with so much fervor, and the next, she’s pleading like the most pathetic person on earth. I don’t understand her mood, and that is why I decide not to pay her any attention and do as I please.“Yes, we fucked. But that’s not enough. I still want to do more,” I tell her, and I join her on the bed. Since her hands are tied, I have the honor of undressin
RichardI wake up this morning feeling very happy and satisfied. Jane is still sleeping next to me, and seeing her naked makes me horny. All I want to do now is have her over and over again.Last night was the best night of my life. I get a good taste of her, and she doesn’t fight me off because she fears I’ll kill her swindler of a mate. I enjoy every bit of the night. I only go to bed after the sixth round. If I could, I would have gone on and on.This morning, I want to attend to my duties as the Alpha King, but seeing her naked body makes it hard for me to leave the room. I can’t help myself around her; I’m like a man who has lost all sense of reasoning. Jane’s body drives me crazy, and I will do anything to have her.I check the time, and it’s 7:00. Maybe I should fuck her for a few more minutes before I freshen up.She snores softly, and the duvet that was supposed to cover her sexy, naked body has rolled to her waist. Her legs are spread apart, revealing her rosy, wet pussy. The
RichardI walk into my private study, and Ray follows me. I sit behind the large desk and place my legs on the table. The files I need to sign are scattered before me.Ray stands opposite me and watches with keen eyes. I know he has many questions; I can sense his confusion and disapproval. From the moment he walked in, I knew he would question what he saw.I should give him the chance to speak, but that won’t change anything. I’m still going to fuck Jane and I’m never going to allow her to escape.“When did Jane get back here?” he starts, taking a seat on one of the visitor chairs.“Yesterday,” I reply. He narrows his eyes. Does he think I’m lying? “What is it? I already told you she returned yesterday and you’re still giving me that look.”“You weren’t here yesterday morning. I searched everywhere for you, but I didn’t see you. Then I was told you went on a special mission. Was Jane that special mission?”“Yes, she is my mate, and I went to bring her back.”“You rejected her, man. Sh
Vishal“Hey, you. Get up right now! How dare you think of sleeping, huh?” A gruff voice shouts over me. Before I can sit up, the owner of the voice storms into the small cell and starts kicking me hard, focusing on my stomach.I grunt in pain, clutching my stomach, but he doesn’t stop. He kicks my fingers, crushing them against my abdomen. Fear and anger surge through me, mingling with the intense pain. The pain is almost unbearable.He kicks me harder and then finalizes his torture with a vehement punch to my face. I cough out blood. I think he knocks out one of my teeth. My hands are chained, so it’s impossible to run my fingers through my mouth to check how many teeth have fallen out.The clanging chains hold me down, forcing me onto my bruised knees.“You’re our hostage, so you don’t dare fall asleep before us. Do you understand?!” The warrior yanks my hair and punches my face again.Blood fills my mouth, and I spit it out to the corner of the dark cell. The darkness in this cell p
RichardThat swindler has been locked up in a building at the heart of a dark forest. The forest serves as a boundary between my pack and the neighboring pack.The building is an ancient, beat down construction that has been abandoned for years. Seeing as it was of no use, I renovated it and turned it into my dungeon. This is where I imprison everyone who offends me. The dungeon is where I make their lives a living hell.I arrive at the building as a wolf. My wolf is the biggest in the werewolf kingdom, so everyone cowers in fear whenever I’m in my wolf form. As I prance towards the building, my warriors line up at the entrance, cowering in fear.I howl angrily, and the entire room shakes. I am furious, and unless I get a reasonable explanation, someone might lose their head. I want them to start speaking, but first, I need something to calm my nerves, or I might explode from this torrent of rage.I shift back to my human form and walk into the building. It has many floors and is very
CHAPTER 32 – RICHARD (PARALLEL UNIVERSE)"Who's next?!" Ray yells, as the scruffy, haggard lady scrams out of the office. "Let's just tell them all to go fuck themselves!" I snap at Ray, slamming my hands on the table. Just then, the door opens and another female walks in. She's a little better dressed than the last female, but she's still not Jane, and I'm getting fucking impatient!"Relax, man. We'll get you a fine-ass secretary. I promise." Ray whispers to me, rubbing my arm. His hair is tousled from the stress and I feel a bit of sympathy for him."With the sorry excuses of females walking in through that door, I highly doubt that," I reply with a hiss, standing abruptly that my seat topples behind me.The loud crashing sound makes her flinch, and she lowers her head. I can see her finger quivering in fright around her résumé. She's dead scared from just a crashing sound. What happens if she accidentally gets hired and has to listen to me yell and cuss her ass out every day? She'
CHAPTER 31 - JANE (PARALLEL UNIVERSE)I walk out of the grocery store, steadying the grocery bags in my arms. They're heavy and filled to their brim. It's only a matter of time before I'm tired and need to get a taxi. But for now, I'll just try to enjoy the walk."Jane, wait up!" June sprints slightly to meet me, as we take the sidewalk, heading home. The street is rowdy and crowded so we keep squeezing through bodies and sometimes, bumping into others."Why don't we just grab a taxi already? It's tiring carrying these bags and bumping into people." I sigh, adjusting the weights on my arms. This definitely isn't what I signed up for."Going home with a taxi will make us get home faster, and that's gonna ruin everything.""Ruin what?" I ask confusedly."Your little time outside," June replies, flipping her hair. "C'mon Jane, you've spent weeks brooding and wallowing in misery. You refused to leave the apartment. This is your first time out, in two weeks. You should enjoy the fresh air
CHAPTER 30 - VISHAL (THE FIRST UNIVERSE)Watching the leaves fall from the tree is a little medicinal and it eases a bit of the suffocation I'm feeling in my heart. My fingers are loosely wrapped around the glass of brandy in my hand. I sip from it again, not letting my eyes off the window. It's a bright day and full of good energy but I feel more gloomy than I ever have. Jane has been gone for over a week and there's still no news about her disappearance. Richard has disappeared too. No trace of him or his feral werewolves. It feels like they all just…disappeared. For real. I've combed the entire pack and beyond in my desperate search for my mate, Jane. I've contacted every Alpha of the packs in the region to be on the lookout and let me know if they see her. But no one has any news about her or Richard.It's been frustrating and agonizing for me, waking up each day alone and knowing that my mate is somewhere out there but I can't find her. I take another chug of my brandy, savori
CHAPTER 29 - JANEI stare blankly at him as he gives a husky chuckle strolling to his chair. He pushes it back and slides into it, crossing his legs. I don't bother sitting, so I just remain standing and staring at him.His smirk is flirtatious as he boldly undresses me with his eyes. His eyes linger longer on my lips and he bites his lower lip."So tell me, what's it gonna be?" His husky, deep voice reverberates in the room. My skin flushes from the heat growing between us."Please, Sir. Why don't we talk about this again? Hear me out, please. I don't think·""You're not supposed to think, Jane!" He cuts in, impatiently. "I'm not making an impossible proposal here, so don't make things difficult.""More than you already did?" I ask calmly, but my nerves are ripping apart."I think you got the wrong conception about my proposal, Jane. I'm not making things difficult. On the contrary, I'm here to give you a smooth ride in life." He pushes open the drawer and takes out a checkbook.I wa
CHAPTER 28 – JANE (Parallel Universe)I take a sip of my coffee, and then a bite of my cookies. I don't have much appetite, especially because my mind is running wild. I can't stop thinking about what I'll be telling my boss today. Will I accept his proposal or is it safe to say I'm gonna be officially unemployed starting today?I'm nervous as hell and I just can't stomach the sweet breakfast I made. I can't even relax. My boss occupies my mind and my heart is racing in anxiety. What do I do? How do I solve this problem without losing my job?I can't afford to be unemployed. I got too many bills to pay, that I just can't afford to be unemployed. But fucking my boss doesn't sound appealing either. So what do I do?"Good morning!" June's voice distracts me from my thoughts. I look up and see her coming down the stairs."Hey, girlfriend. Good to see you're finally awake." I smile at her. She kisses my cheek and struts to the kitchen."I had a nice sleep. Thank you so much for not waking
CHAPTER 27 – RICHARDThe rage that's jabbing at every inch of my nerves is rather monstrous. And if whoever just spilled his drink on me doesn't have a fucking valid reason, I just might snap his neck. I don't care. I've had enough frustrating moments to last the night. I don't need to endure this bullshit."Are you fucking blind or what?!""I'm so sorry…I'm sorry, I didn't·" the voice stops talking.My rage drops a notch as I see who the words are from. It's a female. A sexy human female. Not a werewolf. She's drunk, like fucking tipsy, and even though she's trying to be steady, she keeps slipping and bumping into random bodies.I'm not sore how seeing a drunk, sexy human should make me feel, but right now, I'm fucking pissed and it's all thanks to her whiskey drenching my outfit. The fact that she's almost naked despite her black lace shorts and the lacy top doesn't suffice my rage. It didn't even get my dick hard. Irritation is all I feel right now.She's staring deep into my eyes
CHAPTER 26 - RICHARD"I'm fine, dude. Told you already. I bumped my head into something hard and my memories are lagging a bit. But other than that, I'm fucking fine. Don't worry." I say in a firm voice, trying to convince him.He nods, sipping his drink in silence. I'm not dense. I can see on his face that he doesn't believe me a hundred percent. He's probably just tired of bugging me about it, and that's why he's pretending to believe me. But then, I don't honestly care if he believes me or not. I just hope he doesn't bother me anymore with his irritating questions about why I'm acting differently. I'm sick and tired of telling the same lies. He should just give it a rest.We sip our drinks in silence, and I, for once, turn to the crowd to see what's going on. The place is filled with naked, aroused human bodies, caressing each other and fighting to get some pleasure. There's an object of excitement at the podium, I assume, 'cause the men wouldn't quit whistling in that direction.
CHAPTER 25 – RICHARD"One more bottle of tequila!" I yell out to the bartender, twirling the shot glass in my loose grip. My eyes are getting heavy from a couple of drinks I've had. But it doesn't matter. I plan on getting fucking wasted tonight. The bartender places the bottle in front of me and Ray reaches to grab it. I beat him to it, grabbing the bottle and turning the other way to pour myself a drink."That's enough, man. You drinking way too much." Ray sighs behind me. "Not as much as I plan on," I reply briskly, placing the bottle on the counter. I chug down my drink and it heats my throat, leaving me with a strong urge to pour myself another glass. You could say I'm a fucking addict, but tequila has always been it for me."Dude, what are you talking about? We both know you've never been a good drinker. Booze drives you insane. Makes you do the craziest things. Isn't that why you quit drinking? What the hell is going on with you tonight?!"Yeah, right. I scoffed at his lectur
CHAPTER 24 - JANE (Parallel universe)"Tell me. How did it happen? What did you do? Why did he make such a proposal out of the blue? Or has this been going on for a while?" June fires me a lot of questions. Her brown eyes twinkle with curiosity mixed with a bit of…excitement? "No. It was literally out of the blue. I got to work. I was at my desk when he came in with his small entourage. Then his wife walked in too…""That cold hag." June snorts, making a face of disgust."June! Don't call her that." I reprimand her."But it's true. I'm in my mid-twenties and I still haven't seen any woman colder than your boss's wife. She's always dressed like some…""That's enough, June. Please." I say more firmly, shutting up whatever rude remarks she's trying to voice out. "Don't forget she's still my boss's wife. Show the woman a bit of respect.""Okay. Okay. Whatever." She scoffs, waving it off. "So what happened after that?""She walked into his office, and after a few minutes, she ran out in t
