Eero's perspectiveHe wasn't smiling. The grim look was still up on his face, but I could feel his sincerity.Because of my mate's betrayal together with my sister and my family giving me off to the Alpha like a broodmare, I should have learned my lesson. I should never trust anyone again. Anyone who wasn't myself was not worthy of my trust and this man standing before my eyes was labeled by everyone as the cruel Alpha. But I wanted to trust him. My wolf was telling me that we could trust him, at least while I was staying here as his breeder. "How can I be certain that you will do exactly as you say, Alpha Claudius?" I asked. It was a relief that I managed to say those without stuttering or my voice breaking out of nervousness. "You have my word," he said as if those should be enough for me, but it was not. And yet, I knew that I was not entitled to ask a follow-up question to him. I grabbed the spoon from the bed and then slowly crawled to where my food was. I heard the Alpha cli
Eero's perspective I rolled to the left side of my bed. I pulled my comforter closer to my body with closed eyes. The silence that conquered my room made it possible for me to hear how heavy and noisy I breathed, and it started to bother and ultimately, annoyed me too. I sat up from my bed and my eyes jumped straight to the closed door of my room. I heaved a sigh and then my eyes stayed on the window. It's a full moon tonight. The sky was a bit cloudy for my liking, but I couldn't help but smile after I realized that those clouds looked like the moon's blanket. Not far from where I was staying was the Alpha's residence. They were going to attack and wipe out an entire pack. They must have done something wrong and irredeemable for Alpha Claudius to come up with such a decision. In the midst of musing about the Alpha of Blood Moon Pack, I heard the door to my room click open. Seconds after that, the scent of a mateless lycan whiffed my nose. “W-What are you doing here?” I asked
Eero's perspective Miss Cielo knocked on the closed door of the Alpha's room. After he had shown everyone the head of the warrior who tried to sleep with me, he dragged me into his house and straight into his room. "Here dear. Take this and use it to clean the splashes of blood off the Alpha's face," she said. I looked at the basin filled with warm water and the clean towel, and then I found myself swallowing hard. "Clean the Alpha's face? You want me to do it?" I asked her. I just needed to be sure in case my ear picked up her words in the wrong way. "Yes. Help him change his clothes too," she mumbled while eyeing a familiar door inside the Alpha's room from where we were standing. "That's his walk-in closet," she added. "Do I really have to do this myself, Miss Cielo? I saw the look in his eyes. It's filled with rage." I moved closer to her and lowered my voice even more. "I am afraid that I might do something wrong, and then the Alpha will get mad at me. What if he rip
Eero's perspective "Here. You should drink this." I glanced at the teacup that he handed to me. The Alpha poured it himself from the kettle that was brought here by one of his pack's doctors, the one who tended to his wounds when he was badly wounded from his fights and battles. "What is this?" I could not help, but ask him. I liked the scent of it. I was quite knowledgeable when it came to teas, but I was certain that I hadn't encountered this one. It had a relaxing aroma, and just by sniffing it, it's making me sleepy. "That's no ordinary tea. It's a drug that would put your wolf to sleep," he said, but I had already taken my first sip, and hearing that scared me. "What do you mean? Why would you need to do that to my wolf?" "I know that your wolf is still recovering from your mate's rejection, but it is strong enough to reject my wolf as I tried to bond with you." "What do you mean?" "If I fuck you while your wolf is awake inside of you, your body will surely suffer
Eero's perspective I ended up opening my eyes even when I didn't want to in the first place. After I felt the space next to me, I realized that it was just me lying on the Alpha's bed now. I pouted my lips and was about to get up completely when I felt a searing pain coming from my lower body, between my legs in particular. The memory of the Alpha claiming me as if I were meant to become his from the very start flashes in my head. Those very same memories brought me both bliss and mental suffering. I closed my eyes, trying to calm my inner wolf, who was very angry at me. "I don't have a choice. I know that even when you were weak at that time, you heard him. The Alpha would kill me if I didn't do what he wanted," I whispered to argue with the little voice of my inner wolf inside my head. I shut my lips as soon as I heard the rustling sound of the water cascading from the shower stop. Seconds after that, the door to the Alpha's bathroom opened. He walked out of it with just
Eero's perspective Cohen immediately swallowed hard after he saw Serra walking out of her walk-in closet wearing red laced lingerie. His cock immediately tightened up inside the pajama that he was wearing. "I just bought this... but I am not quite sure if I look pretty wearing something like this," she said. He knew what Serra meant with those words. She was fishing out compliments from Cohen that he was more than willing to give. "You are uncertain whether you look pretty in this lingerie? Are you kidding me? You are not just pretty while wearing this, baby. You are sexy too," he said, complimenting the woman that he was about to marry. Cohen looked down on the growing bulge in his pajama. Serra was now gazing at it too. "Finally! You are in the mood to make love to me. These days. You are out of it, and it's starting to scare me." Serra flirtatiously pushed Cohen on her back, and then she crawled on top of him. "I am scaring you? Why would you be scared?" "Why not? I th
Eero's perspective "This medicine and all these teas are not doing anything for me anymore." Serra closed her eyes. She was shocked by the sudden changes in Cohen's persona. He now easily got mad, and he became a bit violent when it came to her. "Why does it feel like you are dumping this anger at me as if I am the root cause of all of this?" Serra asked with her eyes closed. Upon opening her eyes, she saw tiny little pieces of porcelain teacup scattered all over the floor. She finally darted her eyes at Cohen, who was very much annoyed at her and wanted her out of his sight. He breathed deeply. "I am sorry," he said, lowering his pride. "No. You are not just going to be sorry for your way out of this. I've had enough of your mood swings. I've had enough of you. Were you blaming me?" The silence between the two stretched. "Let us not talk about this. You know that I have a big day ahead of me. Today is the day that the Alpha will proclaim me as the new Alpha of our pack."
Eero's perspective A week has passed since I took that drug. Per Miss Cielo's words, today was the day that I had to take a pregnancy test for us to find out whether the Alpha got me pregnant or not. “B-But what if I am not yet pregnant? The Alpha will be disappointed in me,” I said with a sound voice. It's my body. I would be the first to realize if there were changes in my body brought about by pregnancy, and I could say not that I can't feel any. “Let's not put words in his mouth. The Alpha's reaction is something that you can't control even if you are the most powerful she-wolf that graces the Earth,” she said, comforting me. Miss Cielo forced the pregnancy kit on my hand, and then she stared at the closed door of the bathroom inside my room. “Can you not leave me all by myself? At least for now. I-I need you with me.” Miss Cielo smiled and moved her head once. “If that's what you want. I can spare you some of my time.” Five minutes have passed since I left the kit on
Eero's PerspectiveI didn't want to get up from the bed. The softness of the mattress was tempting me and on top of that, my eyelids felt heavy to open. My mind had already agreed that I'd stay in bed for another hour after I checked the time when I felt my stomach churning. It stopped me from my track, but chose to shrug it off until a squeaky feeling came over me and I couldn't find the urge to throw up.I run fast to the bathroom and vomit whatever is left in my stomach. After rinsing my mouth, I checked my reflection in the mirror."But I don't look sick." I checked my temperature too and I don't feel feverish."Did I eat something last night that could upset my stomach?" I whispered to myself. I opened the drawer to grab an ointment that I could use for my tummy when I saw an unopened box of tampons.I rushed out of the bathroom to grab my phone on the bedside table."I'm three weeks delayed with my period. My period n
ClaudiusSeeing that the tracker that I asked Caspian to chip on Octavio's skin after he was locked in the cell was moving towards the forest. I got up from my seat and prepared myself to come after him to get my pup back and bring Perseus to safety."I don't get it," Caspian said."This part of this forest where Octavio is heading to is a dead end," he hummed. I looked down at Caspian."What do you mean by it's a dead end?""Alpha, there is no escape route. Octavio knows the Regulus territory better than anyone. It's impossible that he isn't aware that when he run to do this forest, our deltas would easily corner him, and avoid being captured by our deltas. The only thing left to do is to jump from the cliff."My lips parted in shock."I know what that old hog is about to do," I said.Eero grabbed my arm to make me face her. "You do? What is it?"But how can I tell her Octavio's evil
Eero's PerspectiveWhenever Perseus sleeps with me. I would wake up to his tiny arms tightly wrapped around my waist while his face was buried in my arm. It's the muscle cramps and the numbing sensation that wakes me up earlier than usual, and so when I didn't feel him using my arm as his pillow, I instinctively called for his name before I could open my arm."Mate, shh. He's still sleeping," Claudius said in a low voice.I couldn't help but smile and silently giggle as I saw how Perseus had wrapped his arm around his father's upper body."He's hugging me so tightly that I could barely breathe, but I can't dare whine. I like feeling this little pup in my arm," he said to me.Perseus looks tiny in Claudius' arms, way more fragile looking compared to when he is in my arms."Don't move. I'll take a picture of you two," I said to him and slowly got up, moving carefully so the noise wouldn't wake up our son.Cla
Eero's PerspectiveCaspian and Miguel cleared their throat in a not-so-subtle way in an attempt to make me and Claudius break away from the hug that we were sharing."I think I caught a cold. I can't stop coughing," Caspian said again while he continued to force himself to cough. I chuckled and attempted to push Claudius away."They are hinting that we should stop flirting in front of them," I whispered to Claudius."I don't give a damn about them, Eero." "Why don't you two search for your fated mate or second chance mate so you won't be jealous anymore?" Claudius asked Caspian."Did you think that I'm not trying to do that? I'm desperately looking for my fate mate, dude, but maybe if you'd stop dragging my ass in different places then I'll be able to find her."Our eyes then gathered to look at Miguel, who was enjoying his toasted marshmallow. I'm in no rush to look for her. It's called fated mates, when the timing i
Eero's Perspective"I had to come here to tell you that dinner is waiting for us," Claudius said while his eyes sharply traced the newly-founded distance between me and Miguel."Oh, yes, because we don't have enough omegas around the realm which is why the Alpha picked us himself for dinner," Miguel whispered sarcastically."Were you trying to say something, Blackthorn?" Miguel grinned and shook his head."Did you hear me say something?" Claudius glared at Miguel even more."I was starving, I could eat a whole cow. I hope you prepared a feast for me, Claudius?" Miguel flashed a teasing smile at my mate."It's the least you could offer after I did the favor that you asked me years ago.""Every meal in the realm is considered a feast, but if you're craving for a particular dish that wasn't served at the buffet. You could request that from our private chef. They will accommodate any of your cravings.""Ah
Eero's PerspectiveI narrowed my eyes at Claudius and hit his chest. My mate laughed at me before he pulled me closer to his chest. He gently sniffed the scent of my hair and then I felt him kiss my forehead."Your legs are still shaking," he whispered laughing. I raised my hand to hit him again, but he skillfully caught it. His fingers caged my wrist and pinned it back on the bed, within a blink of an eye. Claudius was back on top of me. His manhood poking my thighs."Let me rest, will you, please? I missed you too. I miss making love to you, but I'll end up limping if we do it again. I'm sore down there.""Let me check," he said. Claudius moved fast down. My lips twitched in pain and the muscles in my face twisted."It's all red and swollen. Taking a cold bath will soothe you. Should I wash you? Or do you want to take a nap first?" He asked. The sun outside was slowly leaving the sky. In an hour, it'll be dinner time.&nb
Eero's PerspectiveClaudius smirked at me. I narrowed my eyes at him. He walks to get a bottle of his whiskey. Claudius drinks straight from it."This is why you're the perfect mate for me," he said suddenly."You were never afraid of me. You'd rather face my wrath than let me do things which you view immoral. Hurting a pup who won't be able to defend himself is wrong.""Wrong," I seconded."I don't know how long you'll be the Alpha of Regulus, but I don't want you to be remembered by the shifters as a cruel one."I walk towards my mate. I took the liquor from his hand and it slipped smoothly from his finger because Claudius allowed me to take it away.I cupped his cheeks and rested my forehead against his."The pack has a lot of enemies. I don't want our pack members and the Alpha allies to become our enemies because of your temper and ruthlessness, Claudius. Being the Alpha King may feel like you have abso
Eero's Perspective Perseus who was holding the hem of my blouse let go of it slowly. Fear thumped at my chest as confusion and hurt succumbed to him. "P-Pup, I can explain to you. I-I will explain to you. I-I didn't mean to lie to you." "Does Papa Miguel know that I'm not his?" He asked. Perseus looked and sounded like he was close to crying. "Your Papa Miguel knows that you're not his son." "And Grandpa Codrus? How about my grandparents from Papa Miguel's side? Do they know that I'm not their real grandchildren?" "Pup, does this really matter—""It does, Mama. I need to know if all of you were lying to me." "They know. Our closest family members know. Your Grandpa Codrus and I hide the truth from the rest of the pack members of Regulus and Blackthorn, but those whom we thought should know, they know the truth about your real identity." "T-Then do you plan to tell me that the shifter you introduced to me as my Uncle was my father?" Anger began to color my pup's eyes and I was
Eero's PerspectiveWhen I felt our kissing was getting more intense and knew that it would lead us naked on top of the bed. I had to stop Claudius by pulling my lips from him. My mate frowned. He was about to kiss me again, but I took a step backward to distance myself from him."Eero, you don't like my kisses anymore?" He said, almost pouting his lips.I cupped his cheeks and pecked on his swollen and reddish lips."You look just like your son when sulking," I said to him.
