HarlowI roared as I rose to my feet, ready to strike down those weak guards. My fists clenched, and I could have transformed into my Lycan form in an instant. Alpha Gabriel, however, merely shook his head. He clicked his tongue, unfazed by my presence.“I wouldn’t fight if I were you. I can order the guards to beat Jack instead. Mrs. Geeny and Alexa are also under my watch,” he said, tapping his temple.Yes, he had a special privilege as an Alpha to mind link with any pack member at will. Not long after, two more guards arrived and stood in front of Alexa’s cell. His way of asserting his dominance as alpha in this territory made me sick.My eyes darted to Alexa, who was also clenching her jaw in frustration. Alpha Gabriel and I locked gazes in an intense battle with our wolf auras. I could have overpowered him physically and even with my aura, but I once again remembered Jack, whose whereabouts were still unknown.I couldn’t sense him or hear his usual chatter from the next cell. I d
AlexaI wanted to protect the people I loved. Even though that person abandoned me and insisted on protecting me in their own way, I would also protect them in any way I could. Including sacrificing myself to save them.When Gabriel ordered the guards to beat Harlow, I couldn’t bear it. Didn’t Harlow know it was breaking my heart? Even though I was sure his physical wounds would heal by tomorrow, I didn’t want him to be hurt.No one should hurt him anymore. He was my true mate.My hand clutched at my chest, trying to hold back the pain. Even Harlow openly refused to acknowledge the fact that we were mates. If that was what he wanted, I would not hesitate to grant his request last night.‘I can’t watch it anymore, Alexa.’ Mythril groaned as he watched Harlow endure the punches and kicks.“Stop, Alpha Gabriel. I will accept it,” my voice trembled.***Throughout the journey to my home, Gabriel occasionally talked to me, showing how happy he was that I would become Luna. I mumbled and ga
Alexa“Nonsense! What treatment?” I groaned. My forehead creased after hearing the lawyer’s absurd statement.“She claimed she went back and forth to hospitals abroad because of bone and joint pain,” said Mr. Pascoe.“Plastic surgery, you mean? That woman wasn’t sick at all. How could you let her use up all the money?” I asked the man in a sharp tone.“I’m sorry, Alexa. She was your guardian, while you weren’t ready to take over your family’s wealth. According to our law, she had the right to hold that bank account for your needs and the heir’s needs.” Mr. Pascoe shook his head.“My needs? For Goddess’ sake! She sold me, Mr. Pascoe!”My breath came in ragged gasps. I felt like I was about to explode with frustration at the corrupt law so highly praised by the elders. A ridiculous law that made me a victim of Lady Gertrude’s greed.“She sold me to cover her debts so I wouldn’t meet you and claim my father’s inheritance. She had no right to a single cent of that money.” My body trembled
Alexa“Tomorrow?” My forehead furrowed. “Yes, tomorrow. Is there a problem?” he asked with a low growl. I considered the things that could happen by tomorrow. Even though Mythril seemed quite enthusiastic about the idea. “Aren’t you rushing things? I haven’t even had the chance to sleep in this room again,” I said as my hand opened the three-door white wardrobe. The wardrobe was now filled with clothes I had never seen or worn before. They were smaller than my size, so I assumed they all actually belonged to Lorraine. Expensive dresses, thick warm sweaters, and bags in various colors seemed like props meant only to please the Alpha. There was nothing I could wear. “For what? Besides, if we get married, you won’t be staying here anymore,” Gabriel shrugged. “What about Harlow? And Jack?” I asked as I closed the wardrobe door.I examined my horrible appearance in the mirror. My hair tangled, dark spot of dirt, and oily face looked back at me with a scrunch on my nose. ‘Oh, my Godd
AlexaAfter waiting for some time, I stood by my bedroom window. From the second floor, I could see the street in front of my house. Someone was walking past with four guards surrounding them. Harlow paused for a moment and looked up at me.I turned around and hid behind the curtain. My heart pounded as my teeth bit into my lower lip. The thunderous beats in my chest felt suffocating, with irregular thuds against my ribs.I turned my head toward the glass in my room. The blood pact circle, drawn with my blood, was etched there. It was a reminder for me I had to break all other mate bonds.“Goodbye, Harlow,” I whispered.***The next morning, I wore a sleeveless pink midi dress with a knee-length skirt. The dress was tight, with a slit up to my thigh, revealing my figure, which was now vastly different from two years ago. It was a new dress I bought this morning last night.My hair was styled in a high bun, exposing my slender neck—now strong enough to withstand the choking hands of th
AlexaOur lips were still locked together, enveloped by the pouring rain. The cold air seeped into our exposed skin, making me tighten my embrace around his neck. As if desperate, my lips and his searched for each other.Harlow’s hands wrapped around my waist. But as passion surged even more toward my core, my breath became ragged and uneven. Yet I couldn’t resist what Harlow was feeling, either. I felt his hard bulge pressing against my lower belly.“This is wrong,” he said between heavy breaths. His breath brushed against my lips while our foreheads met.“But I love you,” I whispered amid the clash of our breaths.“There are many guests inside the packhouse,” he warned.“But I miss you,” I whined, tightening my hug around him.Those words were enough to tempt Harlow. He surrendered to the same uncontrollable desire and longing. I didn’t care if Gabriel caught
AlexaI stood on the training field. It had been a long time since I last stood on this grass field. The last time I trained, I ended up battered and bruised, desperately struggling to use my magic to defend myself against Lorraine’s cruelty.For two years, I trained in the battle ring at Southern Star. I had grown so accustomed to the many pairs of eyes watching the strength matches between me and my opponents.This time was no different. The pack elders sat watching from the sidelines. Among them, Alpha Gabriel stood in the middle of the row with his arms crossed over his chest. His sharp eyes were fixed on me, and despite his threats, I glanced at Harlow at the far end of the field.‘Are you really going to show your true strength?’ Harlow asked through our mind-link.‘Yes. It’s time,’ I answered.I walked to the center of the field, following Beta Drake’s lead. He was the referee for this match. As I stepped in, I heard a few mocking giggles. Some elders, including Lady Gertrude,
AlexaShe lunged at me with a sharp dagger swinging in her hand. I moved back into defensive mode. My body dodged several times to avoid the dagger’s swings. At one point, I blocked her arm that threatened me with the dagger, causing its tip to graze my cheek. A slight wound did not deter me from defeating her.With trained primal instincts, I searched for an opportunity as she thrust the dagger toward me. My body spun to the side, and I used all my strength to pull her arm. My hands snapped, twisting her wrist until the dagger fell beside my feet.I used her arm as leverage to jump. In a split second, my legs locked around her neck, bringing her crashing down to the ground.With my knee pinning her back, I threw some relentless punches at the side of her face. It was as if all my years of pent-up resentment would dissolve with each strike. Even though Lorraine’s face was bruised and reddened, I did not stop.A wolf dashed toward me. Its jaws gaped open, ready to maul me with its shar
Alexa“Leave me alone,” I said to the bridal makeup artists.At my command, the two maids bowed respectfully to me before stepping out of the women’s dressing room. I stared at my reflection in the mirror. An orphan who now lived alone, forced to depend on my jerk fiancé.My brown hair was styled in a high updo with small curls framing my face. The ivory-white off-shoulder gown I wore was indeed beautiful and luxurious. Crystals and pearls adorned the satin fabric, reflecting every spectrum of light that touched it. Under the spotlight, I shimmered in the embrace of diamond jewelry decorating my neck, ears, wrists, and hair.But none of it meant anything to me. I was merely going to be Gabriel’s slave, never tasting the freedom I had dreamed of with Harlow. I thought I would be happy if I gained the strength of a great wolf, no longer weak, no longer mocked by others. Wasn’t that what I wanted?In reality, I would be used by others to plea
AlexaI was awakened by the chilling silence. As I blinked my eyes, I saw the neon clock on the club wall showing three in the morning. I looked around and only found Harlow and Romero faithfully accompanying me. The rest were people still fast asleep in the darkness.“Harlow,” I called.He woke up with a smile and a soft groan. “Hey, Alexa.”“Where are the others?” I asked.Harlow sat up beside me. We looked around and only found Romero next to me.“We should change our clothes first before looking for the others.” Harlow stood up and twisted his body to the right and left with a soft, cracking sound. He shook Romero’s body until he woke up.“Hey,” Romero blinked his eyes and propped himself up on the bed with both hands. He let out a loud, long groan as he stretched his body. He exhaled deeply with some bewildered stares.“Let’s go home,” Harlow said to Romero.After changing properly, I stepped out of the bat
AlexaPassion was getting unbearable and out of control. All the tantalizing pleasures gripped me hard. Each of the men who claimed to be my mate now showed their true selves. They exposed their fragile selves. I never imagined doing this in front of many pairs of watching eyes.Both my hands were busy massaging the cock lightly. With the lube poured into my hand by Alastair, mixed with their pre-cum, I lubricated the stiffening cock in my hand. Harlow and Alastair got pleasure from my hands and lips.Behind me, Lorraine clamped Alastair’s fingers in and out of her pussy. My stepsister herself was already climaxing as her mouth gives the best blowjob to Gabriel. The pleasure he received from Lorraine made his hands and lips play wilder with my right breast. Many times I had to hold back my body that was trembling with pleasure.Romero in front of my lap was still busy with my pussy. I was flooded with evidence of overflowing cum. Minute after minute passed until I couldn’t help but mo
AlexaI looked at the four masked men and Lorraine. My eyes stared at one after another. The man with the big, muscular body, hair pulled back at the nape of his neck, and a crooked grin. He must be Alastair.The tall, slender man with brown curls was Romero. The man with tan skin, broad chest, and dark brown hair was definitely Harlow. Meanwhile, the blond Gabriel had his arms around Lorraine’s waist.“Why are you wearing masks?” I asked, my forehead furrowed.“We’re competing, Alexa. We don’t want you glued to our faces,” Romero swallowed.I rolled my eyeballs upwards and strode towards them. “But that mask is creepy and reminds me of the auction. Besides, I can already tell you guys apart, even if you wear masks.”“Ah, I see what you mean. I say we indulge our queen tonight.” Alastair pulled off his mask.His face looked haughty, with a confident smile on his face. He licked his lips as the other three men removed all their masks.Oh, Goddess, that turned out to be a bad idea. Beca
AlexaI walked out of the bathroom wearing a super mini lingerie. Only a sheer black mesh lace covered my chest, but I could see my full breasts clearly in the mirror. Black satin straps wrapped around my body, tying the transparent fabric with fragile knots over my skin.“Hmm… Do I really have to wear this?” I asked, one hand crossing over my chest while the other covered my exposed cunt.I mean, it was really exposed. Not just transparent, but the panties I wore had a gaping hole right in front of my pussy.Lorraine, who stood in front of me, flashed a bright smile. She picked up a satin robe and helped me cover my nakedness. With quick movements, I tied the robe’s belt around my waist.I cleared my throat and muttered a quick “thank you” to her. If Harlow were standing in front of me instead, I probably wouldn’t feel this embarrassed. But this was Lorraine—my stepsister, always ready to d
AlexaFreedom. Was this what it felt like? I took a deep breath. My body stood on the front patio, gazing at the neatly arranged garden in front of the packhouse. The sunlight shaded the flowers with a purple glow. No, not yet a hundred percent. Only one of the two shackles that bound me like a disgraced slave had been broken. The debt to Alpha Alastair was paid off, and it seemed I even formed an informal alliance to bring down Alpha Gabriel. I could only hope in my heart. Although I no longer owed Alastair, he would help me take down Gabriel with the grudge I planted in his chest. It was dangerous. I knew if I took a wrong step, Alastair would consider it all as a debt again. Fortunately, once again, I had signed no pact. Not even a verbal promise. Just a glance and a quiet murmur to blame all of Alastair’s misfortune on Gabriel. “Lady Dawson,” someone called my name from behind. I turned with a furrowed brow, confused. In my whole life, I never heard a nickname like that. Alth
Alexa“You’re all invited to our bachelor party tonight.” Gabriel smirked.“Bachelor party? Bah! No bachelor party where both bride and groom mixed into one! Are you insane?” Alpha Alastair laughed heartily.“No, I considered it a challenge from you all to win her heart. I would show you there that Alexa would still choose me. It was a free-for-all. You could use any method to take her from me, except violence.” Gabriel declared the rules of the game he made himself without discussing them with me.“What are you planning? Do you think I’m a toy?” I asked him with a glare.“You’re not a toy, dear Alexa. It’s just that all these men felt entitled to claim you simply because they were your potential mates.” His sneer was mocking as his eyes alternated between Alastair and Romero.“Ah, yes, one more thing you need to know. There’s still one other man who claimed to be a potential mate, but he’s not an alpha like us.” Gabriel raised his index finger and then pointed at the closed door.“St
AlexaUntil now, I did not know who reported my arrival to Alpha Gabriel. If only my mission had gone smoothly without him finding out, I would have already been basking in my freedom outside the Silver Moon territory.One thing for certain—I would never forgive that person, whether it was Mr. Pascoe or Mrs. Geeny. They were the same, keeping their mouths shut and claiming to know nothing about that night’s ambush.This past week, I no longer even knew who I was or what direction my life was headed. Mrs. Geeny insisted I embrace my destiny as the supreme Luna. She said I would unite all the great packs. She even believed Alpha Romero and Alpha Alastair came here today were a strong sign of the prophecy.What a damn nonsense. Their arrival was not to submit to a single leadership under mine and Alpha Gabriel’s. They came with a different purpose. I just knew it somehow between my fingertips.I descended from my room to the
Alexa“Alexa, I’m sorry,” Harlow pleaded desperately.“Oh, you’re sorry?” My palms hit his chest.“I shouted your name, but you just stood there watching me.” I hit him again.“You said you’d protect me, but you let him forced me a drug and fucking ruining me!” My hands half-hit, half-pushed on his body.I was already too disappointed with his actions. He let Gabriel hurt and deceived me. He just stood there and watched everything? Even got aroused until he reached some release.“Forgive me, Alexa. I shouldn’t have let Gabriel provoke me. He challenged me to see for myself, and I—I was too arrogant. I thought you would refuse him.” His voice dropped into a soft whisper.My chest throbbed painfully as I recalled what had happened. My arms wrapped around my body. The effect was brief, but it left a stain on me. Tears streamed down my cheek
