CHAPTER 2~~~~~
The blood moon pack (my pack), and the crystal claw pack has issues which I believe would lead to a fierce war if something isn't done fast and at the right time. Because as I know Alpha vixen of the crystal claw pack is a ruthless being. The alpha of the crystal claw has requested if they would have peace among themselves and stop the war from happening, that a maiden from our clan should be mated to his son. Alpha King Dimitri suggested that I should be the maiden mated to the alpha vixen's son of the crystal claw pack. How dumb, for him to think so! My dad has argued and asked why they choose me and the Alpha said that my dad is the counsellor the pack, and as the counsellor he has to do anything that would maintain the peace of the pack."If I was the alpha of this pack, I would find an alternative to this problem other than giving out a port maiden to another kingdom whereas no one knows what would be one of her." My dad suggested."Unfortunately Simon, you're not the alpha. And what alternative do you think can help in this kind of situation?" Alpha Dimitri sneered."We ought to put our heads together and think. I'm not speaking on behalf of my child because I know she's never going to the crystal claw pack. " My dad confirmed.But I must tell you that as those last line left my dad's lips, Alpha Dimitri eyes became so red, he looked like he was going to erupt like a volcano anytime soon."And who are you Simon to defy my order!" Alpha Dimitri thundered."Nothing just a counsellor whose work is to maintain the peace of our pack.." My dad answered him. He Just used his line against him.I could hear whispers from the people around, some gasped, while some looked at my dad with pity.I wonder how my dad can be so cool in a situation like this.I felt like I was sitting on a hot sit! Yes a hot seat because I kept fidgeting as I got to know about the implications of what my dad just did.He mocked the alpha in a very polite manner.Woah!Don't bother asking me how because I my self don't know how. I just prayed silently that this doesn't amount to anything. "To be sincered in my humble opinion, this can be solved amicably without involving our kids in it." My dad said as a matter of fact.I can see others who are present in the gathering nodding their heads in agreement to what my dad just said.This infuriated my alpha more."Are you the alpha a of this pack or I am?" The alpha asked my dad with a sharp gaze."You are, my alpha king and I'm just a counsellor whose work is to maintain the peace of our pack." My dad repeated the last line with a wide grin plastered on his face.The point is that my dad is always like this. He uses your words against you and allow you to yell and boil in anger meanwhile he stands still in his own serenity."If you may excuse now alpha king Dimitri, I have unfinished documents to attend to. Let's go now Xena." We walked out of the pack house."Dad what was that about?" I asked him immediately we farther."I rather die than give you out to those precarious souls. " My dad confirmed."Nobody is dying!" I stressed out.He looked at me with those tender gaze of his and said, "you know I didn't mean it that way but I'm serious anyways.""Dad!!" I called out as tears filled my eyes blinding my vision."It's okay my dear, the alpha would come for me sooner or later." "Dad please don't say that, you're only trying to protect and I know it's you job but you're not gonna....die! Not you can't die, mom died because of.........""Hushhhhh, don't say that, your mom didn't die because of you. How do you want her to feel hearing those words from you?" He asked me and winked ay me which made me chuckle."That's my girl." He praised me.Just as we were about to take another step forward, we saw the place guards racing towards us."Dad, what do we do now?" I asked him as I felt a surge of panic rise in me."Nothing, just stand and watch their stupidity." He replied me.Seriously!? Is something wrong with this man now or is this as a result of old age.Well, I dared not to voice this out. The warriors coming after us stopped too."What's wrong? Did the alpha asked you all to escort us home? We know the way back home so do not bother following us okay?"The warriors looked at them selves in utter disbelief, I myself wasn't exempted because I was utterly shocked.This is unbelievable!I'm cent percent sure my dad knows the reason they are here but yet he just played mind games on them and they fell for it. Before my dad could even utter another word, they all fled back to the pack house.Why did they even come in the first place?Now you might be wondering why the alpha sent such amount of strong warriors after my dad, right?Well, let's scratch that later.We got home in no time, my stepmother came out of her room and rushed toward my dad."You're back, I hope nothing happened to you? Did they hurt you? "Why would they hurt me? Why do you think I would get hurt?" Here comes detector Simon. I actually thought he fell for her drama. As my dad asked her those questions, her hands froze at a place."You're behaving like you were at the pack house or something." My dad looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze and she gulped.."N... Nothing just looking out for you." She stuttered and answered."Looking out for me! Okay." He answered her and went into his room leaving only I and her outside.I just excused my self and left the place. I went straight to my room, I felt my eyes welling up again.The thought of my father risking his life for me is really heart shattering. I can't let that happen, if getting mated to alpha vixen's son would keep my dad alive then it's fine by me.Later the same day I heard a loud bang on our door. I didn't step out at first but it felt kind odd.I came out of my room to see what was happening and then.....CHAPTER 3~~~~~~~~If there is anything I want is for my family to be safe and sound. I really didn't care that my step mom hates me I still care about her.Soon I heard a loud bang on our main door. I didn't want to go out at first but we'll I had to because something seems off.I came out of my room and was walking towards our parlour and then.....There she was, standing and breathing like she just fell off a mountainShe looked so he dangerous now and I can't really tell what's with this aura."Mom!?" I managed to say."Whose your mom?" Xena why can't you just do as you're told and stop being so stubborn. " She asked.I'm really lost because I don't really get what's she's trying to say.I gulped down on my own saliva, this is really bad, her aura, everything seems over whelming. I can't even feel the presence of anyone close by."I dont know what you are talking about." I complained truthfully because I don't really understand her not even a bit."Just shut up! Hearing your voice
CHAPTER 4I was dragged out of our compound down to the pack house with my hands tied at my back.I managed to pull off the rope before any if the warriors could notice and as I did that, I pushed the warrior holding me and then... I ran as my legs could carry.I love wild life so I wasn't new to the forest life.I had one thing and that was run and survive.I'm not going to be taken as any mate to any one, I would choose who I want to be mated not and not any one choosing for me.I ran and I became so tired, I never wanted to give up but my eye lids felt heavy and then I gave into the darkness.Soon became unconscious, I didn't or couldn't hear anything clearly apart from distinct chatters.****~~~~I don't know how many buckets of water were poured over me but I know it must have been a whole lot since it could snap me back to life. My palms meet somewhat rocky later as I straighten up, a sneeze instantly coming out through my lungs and out my nostrils as the dusty wind blows past
Chapter 5 I can't stop wondering what this was about. The stares makes me feel uncomfortable. Those lustful eyes.And my greatest fear was because those stares weren't coming from Alpha's son Zain at all but rather he's father... Alpha King Vixen.It sent goosebumps all over my body.I felt the urge to ask him if he wants to undress me with he's eyes but I had to keep my mouth shut as this alpha wasn't any one to be joked with.I gulped down a mouthful of my own saliva when I noticed another person staring at me just the same way the king Alpha vixen just did. I followed his eyes at watched as they landed on my exposed cleavage.What the heck!Was he staring at my.... Br...!I immediately used my hands to cover my upper body that was exposed but it didn't get any better as my hands only puffed them up.I huffed in frustration and looked at everyone in the room just to notice that I'm the center of attention.I just want the ground to open and swallow me now."Is she the one?" A lou
I couldn't hold it in anymore, the place I had known to be home and my relatives were letting me go without even a little word of encouragement."Raven?" She was the one who let out a loud cry and wasted no time hugging me to comfort me."Do you really have to go?" Her red eyes gazed at me with so much attention and care."Yes, I don't want anyone else getting hurt." I sniffed, trying to hold back my tears."Xena please…" she cried even more,"Your Dad wouldn't have wanted this." She sniffed, her trailing tears continuing to wet her already damp cheek."Dad is gone." I let the tears slip out from my eyes as I hugged her more tightly than before."Who would be with me when you're gone, who would I plan crazy stunts with who…" "Enough of this nonsense! You're delaying the to be Alpha of Crystal claw pack from taking his bride home." Alpha Demetri raged and immediately ordered his guards to drag raven out of the pack house."No, let her be." His calm majestic voice spoke again. "What d
Alpha Zain's pov I wasn't happy with everything that was going on. My father Alpha Vixen made me take a bride from the Blood-moon pack in order to settle the upcoming war he had with them. For him, a good woman would buy his heart any day and anytime.I hadn't seen her before but the moment I set my eyes on her, my wolf howled in excitement.She was like an angel. Her pale milky skin went with her ginger brown hair and hazel hers. She wasn't smiling but I could tell she would look like an angel if she did because even her anger made her look as cute as a teddy bear.She was wearing a white gown which revealed her curves and her Cleavage. I observed how most of them looked at her, some with admiration, some lust and others with anger and it took everything in me not to rip out their eyeballs from its socket. I recalled earlier when I had told my father that I would never fall in love with the lady he would get me but that eventually changed when I got to see her for real."I can't f
Chapter8Xena's POV…I shivered in fear the moment I went to my room. My thoughts about the old Alpha were right. I mean, he didn't look that old but still he has a son who is supposed to be my Alpha and yet, he's taking advantage of me.I moved to my bed and my wolf couldn't stop talking about how my supposed mate saved me."Didn't you feel that spark when your hands grazed each other while he was handing you the glass?" She asked and I grumbled.I did feel it but I wasn't going to let my wolf or my feelings get the better of me.He just helped me but don't forget that he was the one who acted like I was nothing to him by making me land on the hard fall with my butt. I murmured, taking off my clothes as I headed into the shower, a place where I usually go to cool my head.I took a deep breath as the shower's water trailed slowly down my body while my mind wondered about everything that happened today."Raven!" My eyes snapped open when her thought crossed my mind.My friend had suffe
Chapter9"Are you saying the maid hadn't given you the surprise yet? I'm going to cut off her tongue!" He banged his left hand on the table and anger flooded his face."Oh that. Sorry it slipped my mind over the excitement of my ceremony. Thank you so much." I responded in a nervous manner."Just thank you, aren't you going to hug me?" He pushed his seat and to my surprise he stood up with his hand wide open to hug me.I never thought I would say this but right now, I wished that my mate would come and interrupt what this old man wanted."Common, don't be shy…" he smiled and his smile showed his evil intention.I slowly dragged my feet towards him and hoped that this was a dream that I would wake up from.Just as I was about hugging the Alpha, someone walked in, grabbing both our attention."Hmm… Dad, what's going on here?" Zain's face didn't look pleased and he seemed so angry seeing his dad wanting to hug me."Just want to accept a huge from from my future daughter in law. She was t
Chapter10"Who are you talking to?" I jumped out of the bed and landed on the floor with my head facing the ground when I heard that voice."Get up." He spoke and I didn't know why but my body responded to his words on their own accord."Listen to me." He moved closer to me and grabbed my face, pulling me to himself in such a way that our bodies fanned each other's faces and his body heat warmed me."What do you want! I'm playing along just fine." I spoke in-between gritted teeth as I struggled to get off his grip."I said listen!" He added force to my arm which he was holding and I had no choice what to whine in pain,"Ouch, you're hurting me." "I don't care!" He yelled in a manner that caused me to flinch."What do you want?" My tone was a bit softer as I tried to mask the pain I was feeling." His hands were as strong as iron and holding me in such a manner was hurting my skin."No one should know that we are mates for real, do you get that?" He spoke and when I failed to answer h
