Eero’s perspective“What do you mean? I am your mate now?” I stared at the Alpha's eyes. It was dark, and I couldn't seem to decipher the emotion behind his dark gazes… Was he mad? But why would he be mad at me? “You are my mate, as in you have my mark, Eero." It took everything in me to know that rolling my eyes in a situation like this would anger him. I remained patient even when my insides started to shake. “I know that I had your mark. I could still feel the pain from it in my neck. I am asking you why?” I had enough of waiting for him to open his lips and say something. Then I figured out that he would prefer to leave me and my question hanging. “If others, not just the Alphas, but if anyone heard that you've given your mark to a breeder, they would mock and make fun of you.” “Then I will kill them. Now that you have my mark, everyone in every pack must respect you the way they respect me. If they disrespect my mate in any way…” “What? You are going to kill them all?” “I
Eero’s perspective“I-I don't want to be a breeder anymore. It's just my second day as a breeder, b-but I can't stand it anymore.” “I just turned sixteen. I am not even an omega, and yet, they made me a breeder,” she said with her voice cracking. Alpha Claudius looked at me and I quickly understood what he wanted me to do. I took the young girl from his arms into mine to make her felt protected. She caught a whiff of something, and then she looked up at me. “You were marked by the Alpha? You are now our Luna?” She asked me in a small voice. I only smiled at her. Alpha Claudius started making his way to the common ground of the village. Instead of following the Alpha, Beta Caspian chose to check on the poor young girl. “Averi, that is your name, right? You are the firstborn daughter of Logan? Where is your father?” “Why did he let this happen to you?” He continued to ask. Beta Caspian's question caused me to look at him. He was implying that this girl's father had a position tha
Eero’s perspective“You know that you don't really need to do this, right? I can walk on my own,” Alpha Claudius asked me to stop walking over when his incoming footsteps halted. “You can barely walk on your own, Alpha. Let me just help you, okay? I don’t want others to see you in this condition.” I asked him. “I need to talk to my loyal deltas and warriors,” he said to me. I looked at his face. My eyes asked what he was trying to imply. “And punish those that helped Killian usurped my throne,” he added. I nodded my head at him. I was about to help him take another step, but the Alpha didn't budge. Instead, he glared at me. “You can do that later. Let me help you treat the wounds.” “No!” He said, his voice slightly louder than usual. Alpha Claudius looked around before he dropped his eyes back to me. “I am not going to let you use your power. You are still weak, Eero. I’m afraid that using it in your current condition will put you in danger.” My heart stopped beating for a mome
Eero’s perspective“What do you still want from me? And don't give me the bullshit that you want me back in the pack because I am your daughter, and we are a family.” “Oh, sweetie. I thought we were over that? We offered to welcome you back warmly, which you declined.” Alpha Ameo leaned closer to me, as if he was memorizing all my facial features. He even fixed my hair for me, and then he smiled malice. “With everything that happened, I’m afraid we can't give you that same offer twice,” he said before settling back near his wife. Luna Vera was glaring at me too. She was jealous of the way her husband touched me. “And stop playing dumb. You know why we must have you back.” “If there's someone whom you should be helping with your special gift—”“I will never use this power to help anyone from this pack. I loathe every single lycan in this territory!” “Oh, you do?” Luna Vera asked as she grabbed my hair, pulling it harder with each second that passed. “If you won't use your power
Eero’s perspectiveI opened my mouth and was about to shout for help. Alpha Ameo would protect me if I promise to help him in return. Then I would think of a way to get out of this cursed place. But Trevor was prepared for that. It was as if he can see right through me. He took out a double-edge knife from his back and swirled it between fingers. "Are you sure you want to create an unnecessary noise?" Trevor finally sat at the edge of my bed. There was no room for me to maintain a decent gap between the two of us. "I can surely throw this in your neck and kill you faster than one can come up to check on you if you shout." He took a small pause.He trailed the pointy end of the knife from my lips down to my chest. Trevor's lusty eyes found mine, and he started to chuckle like a mad man. "You are free to pick between the options I offered," he said. I didn't say anything nor make any move, and that made him smile at me. "Good girl. I always knew that you were a smart girl," he sa
Eero’s perspective“Why is it so hard to get rid of you, Eero? Didn't you literally jump off the cliff?”Serra glanced at me before she continued to drag me to the dungeon while holding my hair.“You should have died back then. We sent you to the Blood Moon Pack to become a breeder and yet you were marked by the Alpha?” Her hand remained on the strand of my hair, while the other one was busy unlocking the gate of the dungeon.After she got it open, Serra wasted no time. She pushed me inside the dungeon, and quickly locked the cell.“You have been lucky enough these few months and days. I think you've dried out your luck, and won't get anything for the rest of your life.”Serra taunted me. Her anger was over-flowing. I couldn't even understand why she was this mad at me. I didn't think I had done anything that could make her this resentful towards me.“Welcome to your new
Eero’s perspective“Shut up, Vera! I don't know what you are talking about. Eero is young enough to be my daughter!” Alpha Ameo growled at Luna Vera and all that he got in return was a mocking laugh. “I know you. It doesn't matter if she is young enough to be your daughter. That won't change the fact that once you've gotten an opportunity to make Eero your wife, you will!”I badly wanted to open my eyes to see what was happening, but I knew better than to do that. “Vera, what the hell are you talking about? Where are these nonsensical ideas coming from?” “Are they really nonsensical, huh, Alpha Ameo?” She asked. Judging from the situation, I could tell that Luna Vera wouldn't drop this topic any time soon. It was like all of these had been bottled inside of her and now was the time that she can finally let it out. “Have you forgotten that I was her mother's best friend? You used to ask me to deliver flowers and love letters to her.” “Vera, I said, stop it!” “Even when we both tu
Eero’s perspective“I am not the only one that Ameo wronged, but my parents too. He stole the ruling right from my father. They framed him up that got him killed,” I whispered to myself, chanting it even, so it would etch in my mind, and I'd forever remember this. There would be no second chance for us and the Valerian. Right from now, all of them were my sworn enemies. I hadn't met my parents and I didn't even know what they look like. But hearing what happened to them from the mouths of the same people who had betrayed them made my blood boil. I licked my lower lip. Although I was still feeling the pain from all the beating that I got earlier, I bore it. “I need to make it out of this pack tonight. I must find my way back to the Blood Moon Pack and tell Alpha Claudius what I found out.” I went to the door and tried to open it, not expecting that it would open. I thought that, just like earlier, they would lock it outside. But Ameo and the mistress of evil were busy fighting wit
