Exalia's POV I glanced at the man with complex emotions, but the one that prevailed the most was hatred and a slight disgust. Back in the Pack, my life couldn't be considered to be smooth sailing, but I had my family with me. Yet now, I have no one, and he even imposes his will on me, forcing me to do things I never wanted to. He wouldn't allow me to live for myself, nor did he give me any leeway. If not for him, the only two family members I had would not be missing by now, and I wouldn't have to worry about them each and every day. Moreover, he claims that I am his mate; I'm very sure he's just trying to force me to be with him. Although I've been rejected, I still feel the broken bond with Jake. It's obvious he's merely lying to have me to himself. “I want to leave.” I repeated when I noticed how silent he had become. With his gaze fixated on me, I stared back, not cowering in the slightest.
Exalia's POV Axel's lips curled upwards in amusement, “I have what it takes to keep you here forever. If I don't want you to leave, then you won't be able to.” He asserted, staring down at me with that same sickening smile.I glared at me, my boiling anger simmering, and on the verge of erupting. But I held back, my gaze boring at his smug expression.“You can continue pushing your weight around, in due time, Alpha Jake will come back and take me from here. You wouldn't even be able to do anything because he's my true mate. For all your strength, you are just an empty, cold tyrant. Hiding behind your title won't change that!” I spat out maliciously. A flash of something ominous flickered in Axel's eyes instantly, his smile faltered, and the temperature in the room suddenly became lower.A bad foreboding emerged in my heart, but I would rather not show any signs of weakness. I didn't want him to see me as a delicate vase, meant to be kept and confined in a space.“What did you just
Exalia's POV“You…" Unable to utter any word, I could only glare at the culprit behind my frustration.Yet, his back remained upright, and his gaze was calm like an old, ageless well, having no ripples or fluctuation.“Your meals will be brought to you at the right time, and your training will continue when I feel it's right.” He added calmly, as if he had the right to make decisions for me.“I won't eat your food, I don't even want to train with you or be in your presence!” I yelled in indignation, the skin around my eyes turning sore.Staying in such an unfamiliar place, not only do I feel uncomfortable, but I felt like an outcast. Now, I didn't even have the right to walk around, who wouldn't get angry at that?“It's for your own good, believe it or not. Until you star
Exalia's POVThe stench clung to my pores, as the rotten eggs splattered against my skin, eliciting a tear on my flesh.Stones came afterward, strong and merciless, each hitting a different part of my body each time - my legs, my arms, my forehead, none was spared.I staggered backward, trying to use my arms to shield the rest of my body, but the attacks came relentlessly, bypassing my weak defense and landing on my already frail body.The copper scent of my blood wafted into my nose, and the pain that flared through my body made me wince repeatedly. “No, I really did not do anything.” I retorted weakly, my voice drawn by the cacophony of insults around me.“Murderer!” One yelled, followed by another one.“Slut! Temptress!” Each word is more hurtful than the last, and they hurt more than the stones and rotten eggs thrown at me.Initially, due to my father's position in the Pack, they would merely cast scornful and contemptuous gazes at me, but now that I had nobody to defend me, they
Exalia's POV I let out a low gasp, feeling his sturdy, hard times chest against my palm, and I could feel the heat from his body transferring to my hands.It was burning.Some women still didn't know what was going on and rattled on. They probably didn't recognize Axel, and even though they were fearful of his oppressive aura, they still parted their lips to talk.“Are you also one of the men she seduced? Let me tell you, that woman is a jinx. Nothing good ever comes from interacting with her.” One woman spat out, hatefully.Another chimed in, “She will ruin you, so you better leave her to us before it is too late.” She uttered through gritted teeth, the sound almost palpable.I could feel the slight tremors from Axel's body, and my heart shook; He was angry, furious even.Yet, the women did not stop and continued hurling words of abuse towards me, making me burrow into Axel's embrace unconsciously, to hide.And, when I realized what I had just done, my cheeks burned in embarrassment
Axel's POV At first, I was taken aback, a sharp pang of surprise struck me, and I was unable to register her words.Then, disbelief took its place, and I stared down at her pretty, oval face, dumbfounded. Exalia's coldness towards me had become something I was already getting used to, her first request seemed almost surreal.An unanticipated joy swept through me, but I hid it under the mask of coldness and anger. I had expected more malice and hostility from her, especially after holding her in my arms without permission. But, her reaction was unexpected. She didn't struggle, nor did she glare at me in hatred as usual. I was thoroughly moved, I would be a fool if I didn't agree to her request.Although I was unwilling internally, I wanted to punish this bastards severely. It was the first time my mate would initiate a conversation with me, so I didn't have the heart to refuse her.“Alright.” I answered briefly, I watched as Exalia snapped her head up at my response. Her beautiful ey
Axel's pov With a gentle move, I swept her off her feet, lifting her effortlessly into my arms. She let out a gasp, her eyes meeting mine with sheer disbelief. It was as if she hadn't thought I could be bold enough to do such a thing.“What are you doing? Put me down!” She requested, trying to act strong, but I could see the embarrassment in the way her gaze avoided mine. A red gauge trailed down her cheeks, making them look like a ripe apple and I had the sudden urge to take a bite. A laugh escaped my lips, deep and unrestrained just like my personality, and I held her frail-figure firmly. She was all bones, I almost couldn't touch any flesh and this fuelled my resolve to feed her more, I needed her to gain more weight.I couldn't imagine what she had gone through in that Pack of hers, and I was ready to make up for everything, regardless of the process.My warning gaze turned to my men, whose mouth were left agape in response to my actions, I didn't need to say anything as they
Axel's pov As my hand made contact, the lingering silence that followed was unsurprising, but the softness was unexpected. I could feel the plasticity of her buttocks, and the smoothness of her skin. It was warm, and soft, and the wave of satisfaction it sent through me was even more unexpected.Her body tensed, and she didn't dare to struggle anymore making me content as I also savored the feeling of her skin against mine.I clenched that same hand, trying to preserve that warmth exclusive to just her. It was my first time touching a woman so intimately, and I was sure it was also her first time.The thought that I was the first person to experience that softness was even more satisfying, so much that I couldn't stop the smile from breaking out of my lips.Elated, and thoroughly satisfied, I looked down at her and parted my lips, “You better…"Just then, my satisfaction faded, and its place stemmed a feeling of shock and disbelief as my gaze fell on the tears welling in her beautif
Exalia’s POVAfter a few more hours of sailing in peace and fun and laughter, our ship finally cut through the last stretch of the sea.“Alex, we’re finally almost home,” I said in excitement, grabbing his hands and dancing like a happy child who had just received a Christmas gift from Santa Clause.“Calm down, calm down, relax your self and behave yourself,” he said, trying to calm me down but I could not help it, I was just too excited, and no one could even calm me down or ask me to stop rejoicing. If Alex had felt half of what I felt about our home, he would have understood the reason why I was so excited that we were finally home, and he wouldn’t ask me to calm down.He would even join me to celebrate.And we saw the coastlines of our kingdom far off like a promised land in the distance.I smiled deep within me, I was home at last, and I would not lie; the vacation had been a very fun and interesting one. I rested my back on the railings, and the wind blew softly against my hai
Exalia’s POVIn the heat of the moment, Alex sprung to feet immediately, as alert as ever.His voice was low and hard, when he called on Ryk and Dane.“Ryk,Dane, get the others ready. Exalia and Tasha, please do well to come with me, so we find out what they want.”The biggest of the pirate ship positioned in front of our ship and one of the men brought out a chain, and used it to hook our ship.The two ships were now hooked together by a big black chain, these humans were really joking with their lives.Suddenly, a dozen haggard looking humans swung into our ship, they looked like touts or cultists, and they carried pistols and rusted cutlasses. Low budget pirates, I bet they thought they had stumbled into easy prey, fools!Their captain who was apparently their leader, was a middle aged call clownish looking man with a patchy beard.He came forward and twirled a blade.“Well well well,” he sneered, grinning and revealing his dirty yellow teeth.“Fancy ship with fancy folks in it, k
Exalia’s POVWhen the champagne bottle reached my turn, I took a gulp and it was quite sharp on my tongue.I was not the type to drink such drinks.I then handed it over to Alex.He smiled and tried to tease me, “Exalia, you’re an adult, you’re above eighteen years old. Please don’t tell me a gulp of champagne is making you shiver like a little baby,” he mocked, grinning with his teeth wide open.“Are you going to take your own gulp, or you prefer to say things that are not profound?” I asked, whispering into his ears, so that only he could hear what I said.He gave me a side eye and took the bottle from my hands, and his eyes glinted with a mischievous look, Alex was a silly old man.“Okay everyone,” he said, shining his teeth and grinning.“To kicking some ass and to popping champagne and drinking on the way home,” he said, pouring down so much of the liquid into his throat.We all burst into a fit of laughter, even Dane fell rolled on the ground, and Tasha lost her footing and fell
Exalia’s POVAfter about ten minutes, Alex came out from the bathroom and his towel covered his body. He looked as handsome as ever as the water dripped down his hair and onto his face then to the ground below.“Well, i hope you did not finish all the hot water,” I said, not even giving him time to breath or rest.He looked at me and shrugged his shoulders, and deep down in my heart, I knew he must be tired of me, because I was really fund of disturbing him so much. Not everyone could tolerate the way a woman would treat them like the way Alex did to me.Sometimes, when I looked at Alex, I saw a humble, gentle and great leader, and I was often very proud of him.I also felt honored to be the Luna and queen of such a wonderful Alpha king like Alex.I know that he we every girls dream, if I was not his Luna, and If he had not yet chosen a mate and married by now, many girls would have been flocking around him in the palace everyday.Many of them would even go out of their way to get h
Exalia’s POV After everything, we all looked for a nearby hotel to rest for the night.“Let’s get a nice hotel to sleep this night,” Alex said, ordering us all to leave the scene.We had all thrown the dead bodies of the creatures into the sea, and they had sunken deep down already.“Tomorrow morning, we head back to the palace.”I was happy that he had finally made the decision and concluded that we would be returning home tomorrow, that was the only thing I wanted to hear right now.Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoyed my self out here in the Caribbean, but i wanted us to go home, especially as these creatures had attacked us here.Once we got back home, the first thing I was going to do was call Yara and her African brothers and ask them if there’s a way we can eliminate these creatures for good.Come to think of it, it was now becoming like a curse, and it was embarrassing.How would it be that everywhere one went to, these stupid creatures would just show up and start to cause c
Alex’s POV There was a lot of joy in my heart and I was super excited that the last one of the monsters had finally fallen.I shifted back into my guns form and I figured I was so dirty with blood and slight bruises all over my body. Blood flowed down my ribs, and I felt some pain, similar to a muscle pull on my ankle.Exalia was soon with me in a flash, she had also turned back into her human form, and her beautiful silver fur was gone.She examined my minor injuries with her fingers, and I could see that she was not happy about it at all, she seemed sad.“Are you okay?” She asked with a tight and sober voice, she didn’t look so good.“Yeah,” I replied, trying to hide the fact that my bones hurt and I was in slight pain.“How are you holding up?” I asked her.“Hmmm, I’m good,” she said but she stared at the ocean as if she was expecting something.The waves were restless and they splashed as if they were angry at something.Ryk, Tasha and Dane appeared in front of us, and they look
Alex’s POV“Tasha! Right behind you!” I barked, as I saw another monster running towards her direction, it was definitely angry that it’s brothers had been slain by us.But I did not even need to worry myself that much because Dane was already in control. He moved slowly and stalked it as if he were a ghost, then as he got closer, he threw binder on it with a very deadly force that before the creature even knew what was going on, it had already been covered. It roared and spun, then it began to twist its body and roll on the floor, in an attempt to get Dane of its body, but Dane was a top tier military guy, and he was specially trained and built to withstand pressure and fight to the death. Soon, the bar had already been trashed and it was in a total mess. I felt very bad for the owners of this bar because what had been destroyed was their properties and it amounted to a lot of money.Tables were destroyed and glasses were smashed to pieces. There was not a single human being in

Alex’s POVThere was no time to start think or hesitating, I allowed my body to shift easily and my fur tore through my skin, my bones began to crack and soon, I was on all four limbs.I was getting really frustrated, Infact i was already frustrated, because the attacks were already getting to much.Perhaps, when we got back home, I would discuss with Yara and her African brothers on how to permanently eradicate these creatures for good, but for now, it was time to teach them a very bitter lesson. I soon landed hard, I was very big and gigantic in my wolf form, and I was fierce and ready to take on any one and anything.Exalia was right beside me, she had turned too, and she looked like she coul conquer the world,she we a gallant warrior.The over protective spirit in me always made me forget the fact that Exalia was a White Wolf, and she was a lunari.She was the most powerful werewolf of our generation, but I always wanted to protect her due to the fact that she was a lady, and she
