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

    Axel's pov A rush of excitement surged through me as her response began to register, “You agreed?” I tried to sound neutral, keeping my voice as low as possible.I tried to hold her hands, but she quickly retreated, “Don't move near me.” She mumbled with a fearful gaze, and I could only take back my stretched hand.Just when I parted my lips to say something, a voice interrupted from the door, “My Lord, the physician is here.”I knitted my brows, before giving a cold instruction, “Very well, bring him in.” With that said, the door creaked open, and a sweaty old man strode in quickly.“You are here quite early.” I uttered sarcastically, crossing my arms while staring down at him from my seat.When his gaze fell on me, he quickly fell on his knees with an ashen face, “I apologize for keeping you waiting, My Lord. Please, punish me.” He seemed to be winded, and he uttered through ragged breaths.It's obvious that he rushed here, but no one had ever dared to keep me waiting. Well, apart

    Axel's pov I scoffed lightly through my nostrils, he's obviously interested in her. The Old man has been searching for a deserving disciple to continue his teachings, but he claimed he had not found the right choice.And, seeing the genuine curiosity in Exalia's eyes, and the fact that he seemed to have a good impression of her, he might…Forget it, I will agree if Exalia wants it.Old man Harrick nodded, “That's a general detoxifying pill, it works as an antidote for common poisons.” He explained, and Exalia's eyes widened in surprise, just like a naive child. “So powerful? I've never heard of it before even though I had always eavesdropped whenever the physician in our pack treated someone.” She explained with bright eyes, and I sneered in mockery. “Your pack is a backward one, what do you expect?”Exalia turned to look at me, “Will you be punished if you don't keep quiet? We are having a serious conversation here.” She admonished, and I stiffened.“You don't talk to this Lord li

    Axel's pov “That's enough, just do your job and stop spouting rubbish.” I quickly cut him short, before he could land.I didn't want to have Exalia asking questions about her identity, not now.Only a handful of people should be aware of the mystery behind her wolf's identity, so I didn't have to worry about her asking other people.But, with the old man…it was a different matter.Old man Harrick turned to look at me, a strange light flickering past his eyes, but I didn't give him too much time to dwell on the matter.“Are you done with the treatments? You've tended to all her wounds?” I merely asked, and he nodded subtly. “There's nothing to attend to, as she's already healing even without me doing anything. I only treated the deep hashes on her forehead and arms. Apart from that, she's in good shape.” He detailed, and I nodded with a solemn expression. “Is there anything we need to be cautious of?” I probed softly, and the old man fell silent in contemplation. Then, he shook his

    Axel's pov A subtle shift in her expression was all I needed to see to know she didn't quite believe in my words.Exalia might look soft, and harmless, but the wits and perceptiveness beneath that facade was commendable. So much that I felt both threatened, and frustrated. And, it was a rare occurrence. Yet, I felt if I wasn't careful, all my secrets would be unraveled. But, a part of me felt satisfied and admired her even more. All these qualities she had been hiding, I don't mind helping her put them into good use.Exalia was like a stone, just a bit of polishing and refining would show the gem embedded inside this seemingly rough stone. The tensed atmosphere seemed to hint at something, so I quickly cleared my throat to break the silence, “Someone!” I called out loudly, and the door swung open instantly. “My Lord.” a warrior strode in hurriedly, bowing deeply in my direction. “Bring in that made from earlier. The one assigned to serve my mate.” I ordered, and he nodded respec

    Axel's pov Ronan nodded respectfully, with his head lowered. “Were you able to find the whereabouts of Jake and Exalia's family?” I suddenly asked, sitting back down to lean into the plushie cushion. Ronan shook his head, “They seemed to have disappeared into thin air, it's obvious that they've been helped by someone, but some of my men claimed they saw his little mate in the black market several days ago.”My interest was piqued, and I glanced at him, “Oh? He didn't take him with her, isn't she his mate?” I queried in a low voice, and he shook his head.“She's not his second chance mate, but an ordinary lover. To him, she seems to be more competent compared to My Lady. But, I'm not sure why he didn't take her with him.” He detailed further, and I tapped my index finger on my atm rest, deep in thoughts. But, I didn't bother to delve into the matter for so long, but focused on the matter at hand.The border exchange. The exchange wasn't just for show or goods and information - It

    Exalia's POV As I walked towards my room, my mind buzzed with countless jumbled, and confusing thoughts. I knitted my brows, taking heavy steps towards my destination, but my mind was already distracted. I replayed my recent interaction with Axel, and became even more puzzled. 'Why was he like that?' I wondered inwardly, and of course, no one would answer me.According to the rumors, he was supposed to be cruel, devious, and ruthless. That's what they said and that's what I know, but it doesn't seem to be so.His actions left me puzzled, and unsettled at the same time. A man like him shouldn't be bothered to play someone like me, so what does he have in mind?Was he as cruel as the rumors said, or was there more to it than said? Could it be that they were merely rumors as the definition implies?But, I had noticed that cold expression on his visage when he punished those people, and that couldn't be faked. But, his expressions would change whenever I glance at him, as if the previo

This particular Sunday was going to be a very fruitful and eventful one.“Rise and shine my baby,” I patted Exalia gently on her shoulders.Last night had been a very erotic night, we had explored each other’s bodies and taken each other to our limits sexually.“Hmmmhmm,” Exalia grumbled, waking up and stretching her arms wide into the air.“I hope you had a wonderful night rest?” I said to her, pecking her softly on the cheek.“You’re hoping I had a wonderful night rest? After destroying my vagina.” She grumbled again and pounced on me, punching the hell out of me while I laughed my ass out.“Oh baby did I? Fuck, I’m so so sorry?” I replied, laughing and laughing as she rained punches on me. “Hell, your sorry doesn’t change anything, my pussy hurts.” She punched me so hard this time and it was so hard

You did exactly what was needed, you did the right thing.” He whispered into my ears, as he sensed the turmoil in my mind.I turned my body and looked at him, i pecked him back and shook my head. “I know, I totally agree

Throwing a party for us was such a nice and thoughtful idea, and I definitely appreciated it.It showed that they loved us, and they were thinking about us.Alex was just smiling as Marcus hailed him and they exchanged pleasantries. Meanwhile speaking of Lena, she was forever the most creative person in our pack.She had even made plans and arranged for a small live band to come and play for us.As the band hit their drums and played for us, I smiled and danced to the tunes with the last strength left in me.Lena looked at me woman to woman amd eye ball to eyeball, and I smiled at her.“You have earned this night, your highness,”‘she said, smiling at me and blowing me a sweet kiss.Her smile was quite broad, but deep down inside her eyes, i could see that she understood every bit of what we had been through.We all quickly went into our various rooms and freshened up f

    We soon began our journey back home, and If I told you that this journey was easy, call me a liar.We were all hungry and famished, and we had all run out of water and food supplies.“Let’s quickly head home, I wouldn’t like for us to sleep in this dead place for another night,” Alex said as he walked faster, and urged all of us to do the same.He was no doubt very correct, there was no way we would sleep here for another night.I began to wonder about what we would eat, because I had become famished and hungry, and so had everyone.“I’m hungry,” I whispered to Alex, and he looked at me, and was about to tease me, but he suddenly stopped.“I’m so hungry too, it’s a pity we do not have Šÿ belly satisfying food at all.We thought about plucking fruits to eat, but to our utter dismay, there was no single fruit that was present, despite all the trees in sight.“It’s very hard to believe that despite all these plenty trees, there’s no single fruit to pluck.” Kofi said, speaking out boldly

Poor Mabel, she had witnessed more than her eyes could see, and more then her mouth could speak. “Alex, thank you so much for your love and support,” I said to Alex, feeling the love and reassurance he had for me.He looked at me and smiled. “You’re welcome my dear, but you don’t have to thank me, I’ll always be there for you.” He said , smiling and pecking me on my cheek.“We’re going to throw a big party once we get out of this mess,” he said to me, still smiling and looking at me lovingly.“Uhh, let’s just celebrate it privately, I don’t really fancy big parties all the time.” I replied, appreciating his party idea.“Hmmm, alright my love,

    Exalia’s pov.To be very honest, the task before me was not an easy one, and any one who was not physically, mentally and most importantly, spiritually strong could not handle this at all. For what seemed like days now, we had been battling these demons.The water around me was initially green, but then I noticed something. It had slowly began turning blue, not just any could blue, but a brilliant blue. The light also began to spread upwards towards the skies and it touched the root of the tree and then went on to touch the branches of the tree above the ground.As this happened, it screamed loudly, a loud cry of agony, pain and liberation, all at once.And just in the moment, it’s form quickly disintegrated into a disgusting and irritating splash of dark particles.These particles were absorbed by the earth, maybe as manure or maybe as something else, but that didn’t matter to me at all.With one final push and surge, I plunged my self up to the surface of the water, gasping despe

    Exalia’s Pov. It was like a dream world and not real life, all these seemed to be happening in a dream. How could this even be possible? What kind of tree talked and spoke? What in the world was going on? At some point,I started to pray that i would wake up from the dream.An anger seemed to well up within me, and I began to blame my ancestors.What in the world were they doing with creatures like these? Were they mad or something?How did they even discover these kind of creatures? Let alone, make a pact with them, and why did they not continue to fulfill their own side of the deal? Why did they fall? It was getting late and I needed to stop blaming and take action to solve the problem at hand. But deep down, I knew it was a reality and not a dream. The water around me started changing colour rapidly, I had never seen anything like it in my entire life. I had become exhausted and tired, but I kept on pushing for my goal, I must achieve my aim.Something that was once black, wa

    Exalia’s pov.The whole atmosphere turned humid and pale at the very sight of this creature. Alex froze where stood, he was way to terrified to move an inch. For the first time in my life, I felt powerless and defenseless, I knew that non of us werewolves stood a chance against this creature.There was no amount of clawing or biting that would make a werewolf defeat this creatures. They were way to spiritual and supernatural, and I don’t remember werewolves having the ability to fight spiritual beings. We existed in the world of physical matter, and we could only fight physical creatures and not spiritual beings that disappeared and and appeared randomly at will.This creature was a creature of nightmares, it looked so unbelievable. It was half tree and half beast,and it’s body was a mass of tree roots and more than five branches.It’s facial features were very grave and they bore an expression of agony and so much rage. “There, that’s the corruption itself, that’s the embodime
