Kira's pov
I fluttered my eyes open and tried to take the surroundings in. My head hurt. The room was grand and huge, there were multiple paintings with rims of gold, a red rug with golden strings coming out of it. The bed was king sized. There were so many details to take in, I couldn't assimilate it at once.I looked down at myself and realized I was in a hoodie, twice my size and in the warmth of the fluffiest sheets. I swallowed hard, realizing I was completely naked underneath my hoodie."This has to be a dream," I said in a panic, "or a hallucination."If Faye had caught me, she wouldn't be providing me with luxury.My eyes trailed to the giant floor to ceiling door across from me and I got to my feet. It had to lead out of here at least.I reached for the handle but jolted back in fear as the door came open. I froze in place, staring at the tall man, his hair in a loose bun, clad in a black shirt and shorts.At first, I was mesmerized by him. He had the most perfect face, it was unreal. His jaw was well defined, his cheekbones accentuating his face shape. The white of his eyes were really white, and the dark was almost black.I only snapped back to my senses when he closed the distance between us.He lowered his head, causing me to back away. He continued to take simultaneous steps towards me until my back hit the wall beside the door.I could feel his hot breath fanning my face and my heart rate increased, I couldn't decide if it was fear, or because he was really hot."Who are you?" I swallowed, my voice trembling as I spoke.Instead of responding, he moved closer to me, if it was possible. I let out a screech, my entire body trembling in fear, he was so tall and could pin me down at any minute.His face held no emotions as he stared down at me, he held both my hands and pinned them above my head, scanning me from head to toe."Why are you so afraid? Do you have something to hide?" He spoke for the first time, in a deep, monotone voice.The sound of his voice brought back a memory I didn't know I had. I remembered losing my strength completely and then it occured to me, "you're my mate…" I blurted out, without thinking.I noticed a soft expression flash across his eyes until it was replaced with anger, his eyes reddened and I felt my heart sink at the realization. He was going to reject me.What did I expect? He looked like a god to begin with and I was nothing but a reject rogue, an omega.He opened his mouth to say something when a knock came in. He looked over his shoulder as the intruder walked in without permission."Damian, have you lost your mind?" She barked, slamming the door behind her. She was in a long overflowing gown. Her blue eyes filled with anger. She looked like royalty."Lucy, what do you think you're doing?" He sounded soft, letting go of me.I held my wrists, rubbing them from the pain his grip had caused.Lucy looked between us two, her frown deepening, "why are you doing this?!" She paced back and forth, full of concern, "the entire pack saw it, and now they're talking, not only did you rush into the pack with a rogue in your arms, you yelled at everyone to clear the way for you! Brought her into your room overnight! Were you that desperate for a quick fuck?"He did that?!My mate, whose name I now got to know to be Damian, held Lucy's hand and with so much anger radiating from him, he said in a warning tone, "remember who you're talking to."She softened her tone, lowering her head, "I'm sorry alpha."Alpha?!"It's just there are already so many rumors, if we let them… you can't be careless, this is unlike you! Unless…" she paused, widening her eyes and focusing her gaze on me, "unless she's your mate?""Nonsense!" Damian barked almost immediately, "do you think a whole king like me would be mated to not just a rogue, a mere omega? Have you lost it?"My whole world sank. I would rather he rejected me than deny me."So why would you bring it here? And in the sacred alpha's room of all places?" Lucy sounded relieved."We found her on our property, I had to know if she was an enemy and what her intentions were.""You could have had anyone at any level do that!" She wasn't convinced, "unless she's your mate, you…""I told you, she's not my fucking mate.""So why…""Guards!" He cut her off.Three men immediately rushed into his room.He grabbed me harshly by my arm, avoiding my gaze. Confused and lost, my heart raced in fear of what he wanted to do to me. He tossed me into one of them's arms."Take her to the prison cells."KiraAs his guards dragged me along, I hoped he would at least turn to look at me once but nothing happened.I bowed my head, sadness filling my heart.I was still so hungry and my back still hurt from the way Faye had hit me. I had forgotten about it momentarily, caught up in the temporary luxury.'I'm sorry Mel, our mate doesn't want us. It's all because of me, I'm sorry you're stuck with a human like me.'I could feel her presence but Mel didn't respond, so she must have agreed with me.The prison cells each housed five women. They were at least ten cells parallel to each other.The men pushed me into the arm of the prison guard who led me to one of the cells, rough handedly tossing me in and locking it after.The five other women in here looked ragged and worse, hair torn out, patches of clothes on them. I could only wonder what they were locked up for. "She looks good to eat,” one of them chuckled. Seeing the look of shock on my face as I widened my eye, she rolled her eyes, “I
DamianBay couldn’t bear the torture as The guards took our mate out but I had to prove a point to Lucy.“Happy? Now leave me to work.”“You had me worried there for a second,” Lucy sighed in relief, “you need to thread more carefully, don’t Create room for gossip.”“Lucy, take your leave.”The only one who did not tremble under my orders was Lucy and I let her have her way. Instead of leaving she reached for my shoulder and smiled, “my sister will be back from her trip in two weeks, you’re going to mark her like we initially planned, exercise more patience.”I didn’t respond. I only took her hand off my shoulder and led her out of the room. She bowed her head, “I’ll see you soon your majesty.”As soon as she was gone I wanted to go after the guards. I wanted to kill them for laying their filthy hands on her. The way they’d gripped her by the arm, I found myself clenching my fists by my side. I needed a new distraction. I could feel my wolf threatening to take over. Unlike me he
I was barely done with my words when his door was swung open. We both turned our heads in the direction of the door. A woman in an overflowing robe walked in and her jaw dropped. The guards that accompanied her waited outside Damian’s room for her. She approached me and cupped my cheeks, turning my face side to side, “Oh my goddess, look at you!” she frowned and turned to Damian, “have you lost it? Look at the state she is in, all bones and tattered, have you no sense of responsibility?” “Mum, what do you think you are doing?” Damian finally spoke since she had come in.His mother? It explained why there was no aura of fear in her. She looked so hot, and young I would have thought she was his sister. She turned to the door and yelled on top of her voice, “Melanie?!” A woman in a green dress walked in hastily with her head bowed. “Melanie? Give her a proper change of clothes, feed her, and a take her to one of the nice rooms to sleep in.” I didn’t know why she was doing any of tha
I held my breath, trying to figure out what had happened. Still leaning into the kiss, he snaked his arm tighter around my waist and pulled me in even closer. I could feel the goosebumps trailing along my skin, all my senses lost in that moment. I didn't want it to end.He pulled away from me, staring directly into my eyes, he tucked my hair behind my ear and lowered his face to mine, I stared directly into his eyes with my heart racing fast. He was so close I could actually feel his hot breath against my skin. The corner of his lips pulled up into a malicious smirk, "looks like you do want to have something to do with me."I needed to snap out of whatever trance he'd put me in. "Why are you doing this?" I said, my voice low and whispery."What am I doing?" His eyes were fixed on my lips.I backed away, ignoring the tingles I felt between my thighs."What do you want? It is clear you don't want me." He was making me so confused. "You're not befitting for the alpha king." He said wit
The news of the new pack member spread like wildfire. Every room I passed by, I could hear the murmurs, the fingers pointed at me."You'll get used to it," Melanie informed as we made our way to the kitchen. I jolted out of my thoughts, "you don't even know what's on my mind.""Yeah, pretty sure your face is saying it all." She chuckled. Melanie had been in charge of leading me through the palace, feeding me in on what to know, and what not."I can just feel all their eyes on me, it's creepy to be honest.""You'll get over it, I know just how you feel," she looked around us to see if anyone was listening. "I wasn't a member of the pack initially.""What?!" I gasped in shock. "The alpha's mother brought me in just when I was a pup and made me her maid so trust me, the stares will pass." She assured me. I sighed In relief. "But," she added, "it might be a lot different for you since the alpha king is paying you so much attention. I wonder why.""Yeah me too," I responded nervously, kno
He led me into his room, I could feel his anger coursing through the bond even though we weren't mated yet. I swallowed hard in fear of what he would to me. He stopped by the entrance of his room, unlocking the door and practically shoving me in."What were you thinking?" He asked, letting go of me and raking his fingers through his hair, "I told you, you're to serve me, nobody else, especially not them!"I bowed my head immediately, "I'm sorry alpha, I couldn't say no her orders, I--""You're only to follow my orders!" He raised his voice, I winced from how loud he was. "Look at me when I'm talking to you!"I raised my head to meet his gaze in fear. "I'm sorry alpha, I didn't mean to--"I couldn't finish my sentence. The way he kept raking his hands through his hair to keep stubborn strands away from his face, while his chest rose and fell hastily, was just such a distraction.He was so angry and this was the wrong time but just staring at him, being so close to me, I just wanted to t
He wasted no time, not regarding my huge ass gown in any way, he lifted me in his arms, causing me wrap my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck to support myself. I didn't know where he was headed with this but I was determined to go with it.He kissed my neck and I instantly craned it up to grant him all the access he could need. A moan escaped my lips as he traced his kisses all the way down to my boobs. Without dropping me, he lay me flat on the bed. I kept my eyes closed the entire time not wanting to faint from his stare on me. My nips were hard and my clit throbbed likemy heart was suddenly located there.He threw my legs over his shoulders and lifted my gown up, pulling my pamties all the way down. "Look how soaked you are," he said. His voice was not helping with keeping my calm. "Were you thinking about me when you touched yourself?"I nodded. "Speak." His dominant aura was ever present but I just wanted him to fuck me. "Yes alpha."His fingers found my clit. H
I bowed my head in fear, "I'm sorry," I immediately bent down, not able to think straight, I tried to retrieve the broken glass pieces from the floor and gather it on the tray but picking the glass up like this, one of the huge pieces ended up piercing my hand.I heard multiple gasps from multiple angles as blood started to ooze out of the affected spot. Disorientated I wiped the blood stains along my gown before getting to my feet and burying my head, "I'm so sorry." I hurried out of the room. I caught the alpha's gaze once and there was no emotion, I was hoping for something from him, anything to show that he cared but there was none. I didn't know where I was going but I continued to walk out of the palace. I heard Melanie calling for me from behind but I ignored her and picked up my pace."Where are you headed?" One of the guards standing patrol asked me when I walked towards the gates that led out of the palace. When I did not respond, he was going to raise his voice at me I cou
IThe king finally set me to my feet. After a long time of arguing, it felt like we had been walking for miles and miles. I completely lost my senses at one point, but I kept going because I was the one who insisted on coming here. We got to a cave, and it was huge. It was hidden in the mountains, and it could take all the warriors that were present. They only created a separate space for Alpha because he was the king and did not want to share all the space with everyone. He held my hand."What do you think you're doing?" he raised one eyebrow at me. "I'm going to settle in with everyone. I guess we all need to sleep before the big battle tomorrow." I shrugged at him. "Have you lost your mind?" He took me, pulling me closer to him. "Why would you sleep with all these men around? Come on, you're going to stay in the same cave as me.""But do you think that is disrespectful? I'm not your maid or anything. Everyone would get upset.""Nobody's getting upset, trust me. Everyone just w

I remembered her name. Instantly, I knew that she was his previous mate, he had never fully told me the story of how she passed away. And so, I furrowed my eyebrows together, staring at him with a lot of confusion. "What do you mean, Libianca?"He suddenly bowed his head as if the memory of a person was taunting him. “It was like a situation like this too. We were going on war. She was a warrior this entire time. I knew that I should not have asked her to come on that journey, and I knew that she was not strong enough. But my selfishness, because I couldn't stay away from her for even a second. Was the reason why I convinced her to come to the war and I lost her, I'm not about to do that with you too. You're too weak for this kind of work. I'm telling you that I might not even survive. And you think that I will let you come along? What about the children?"“I already spoke to Locks about it and he's willing to take care of them under his protection.”"What.""Yes, that is how determin
The next morning, I was awake before it was even five in the morning. The king was still sleeping in bed, and so were the children.I had made up my mind, and I knew what I wanted to do. I got to my feet and I crept out of the door as quietly as I possibly could. I went to find Locks in the room that I thought belonged to him, and I was surprised when I knocked the door, and he was still in charge of this room.His eyes were heavy with sleep, and when he opened the door as if he wasn't expecting it to be me, he widened his eyes in shock and slammed the door in my face.I flinched, taken aback, wondering what was going on. He reopened the door a few seconds later. His face was washed, and he had packed his hair up. I couldn't help but smile. I wondered why on earth he was trying to look good for me."Hey, I wanted to talk to you. I'm sorry to come and barge into your room so early this morning.""What did you want to talk about?""So I know that you discussed with me about the King's W
I was shocked by Clyde's love confession. "What? What are you talking about?""Yes, that's the problem. I was also wondering why I was being so dramatic until I saw you with the king. The way you were smiling with him. It reminded me that the first day I saw you, I loved you from the start until you gave me that boundary, and I was going to keep it until the very end. But I didn't realize how jealous you've been with somebody else was going to make me so—-“ he groaned. "Trust me, I would still do it again if I havethe chance to.”“I'm not interested in all this nonsense that you're going on flapping about.” “I know it seems like I’m saying bullshit but as long as you're with the King, I will not back down, and I won't give up." I stood to my feet. "Clearly, you've gone mad, and I'm going to give you the chance to heal before I release you. Don't worry, I'm not going to be in this dungeon forever. It's just until you learn your lesson and learn that there are some things that you ne
I was still trying to process what he had said when the children started to cheer they had already heard what he said. "Yes Mommy, please let's stay in this big fancy room." They both started jumping on the bed, playing and giggling at the big bed. I turned to look at him."Why would you say that in front of them? Now I can't say no," he whispered in my ear. "Are you sure you can't say no because of them or because you don't want to?" I found that in the end, he was right. I could easily change my mind if I wanted. A part of me wanted to stay in this room with him. "Fine, but only because the children want it," I told him. "And don’t hold me like that in their presence." I warned him."You two must be very hungry." I turned to face them with a smile. "Yes, Mommy." "Okay, I'll go make you something to eat. Don't worry. You don't have to stress about that, I'll ask One of the guards to prepare something for them to eat.""Hell no I can't trust anybody in this palacs especially wi
"Where is he?" I asked them on top of my lungs, running away from them as if I knew where they would be.They ran after me, trying to keep up with my pace. "They are in the King's room with the king and a few guards."I increased my pace as if my life was about to end.I burst into the King's room, and I saw the children sitting on the bed.The king was still partially in his wolf form. His claws were still his wolves, and his body was still covered. His eyes were struggling, a very bright red. I wondered how the children were not terrified of his image.As soon as they saw me, they jumped to their feet, from where They were sitting and ran into my arms.I crouched to their height as they both came so hug me. I began to cry, checking their faces and inspecting them for injuries."Oh my goodness, my babies. How have you guys been?""Mommy I've missed you so much." Leah beamed."Me too," Leo said, showing off his shirt that the King gave to him."Oh my goodness." I turned around to look
