••ALEXANDRA POV••"We're not ready to reject you," David said, his tone firm yet unreadable, but his voice brought me back to my senses.Damien nodded, agreeing with his brother, "He is right, we have no intentions of rejecting you, atleast we aren't as foolish as your ex-mate who rejected you." "We respect the moon goddess blessings," Dylan muttered joining his two brothers.I stared at them with a surprised face, and my head started spinning because of their words, what exactly they meant by not wanting to reject me? Do they have feelings for me? No...no, it's not possible, what am I even thinking?"At the same time, we can’t accept you as our mate," Damien finished with a cool voice giving a clarity.I couldn't understand what exactly they meant by? I can't come to the conclusion whether they're confused or I'm the one who is confused, one second they refuse to reject me, the next they refuse to accept me. So, what exactly am I supposed to do now?"We know you’re confused, but bef
••DAVID POV••"Come on, speak," Damien growled being impatient because of her calmness, his hand locked tightly around her throat as if he wanted to choke her to death. Alexa’s body trembled in fear, she is so fragile that I feared what might happen if he tightened his grip even slightly."Brother," I called softly, trying to calm him down, as I don't want him to scare her.With a sharp exhale, he released her with force, she stumbled back in my arms, Damien glanced at her with a smirk, "a woman who is so eager to run away from us, do you think we can believe you after knowing your intentions?"I know he is just trying to test her, that's why I was calm, because none of us have intentions of letting her go.As he walked away, getting up from the bed, she ran behind him with that weak body, "My Lord!" I laughed at her clumsiness, she couldn't even walk properly, and about to get tripped, but Dylan is quick enough to hold her, "you'll break all your bones if you keep running like this
••DAMIEN POV••"Did you say, next plan?" I smirked, shrugging casually. "Who needs a plan? Let's see where things take us."David and Dylan exchanged uneasy glances, clearly not thrilled by my unpredictable approach, but they knew apart from following me they can't do anything as I didn't make it clear about my next step.Looking at them signalling each other to talk with me, I smiled inwardly and ignored them, and went straight towards Alpha Kelvin's chambers. Reluctantly, they came right behind me, and the guards, sensing our presence, stepped aside to let us through without a word.As expected, Kelvin greeted us with his usual, cunning charm, as if he isn't aware of anything happening within his place, "Hail, the Alpha Kings," he said, with an overly pleasant tone.I raised an eyebrow, noticing the frown on his face, "Seems like you’re not in a good mood today, Alpha Kelvin, is everything okay?" I made sure my voice to be calm yet mocking about his situation, the forced smile he ga
••DAMIEN POV••"My Lord, I... I don’t understand what you’re trying to say," Kelvin stammered, his voice unsteady as David’s trick clearly set him up in trap, "if not this daughter of mine, who must've saved you?" This man, does he even remember about having another daughter? What exactly did she do to deserve this kind of treatment from her own family?I glanced at Dylan who is clearly infuriated, "Bring her here."Dylan raised a brow, pointing to himself, "Me?" I nodded with a smile, "you only."With a reluctant sigh, he stood and walked out of the room, this brat! He is an Alpha king, no longer the kid we pampered still he forgets everything and acts childish as if he couldn't come out of that phase.I shifted my attention back to Kelvin, offering a slight smile, gesturing him and his family to be seated, "Don’t worry, Alpha Kelvin, looks like you're clearly in a stressful situation because of all the events, even if you confused, I'll make sure to clear everything now for you."
••ALEXANDRA POV••"Why don’t you give her to us?" Damien’s voice was sharp and commanding cutting through the silence. My heart almost skipped a beat hearing to him. Until now, I wasn’t sure how they planned to take me away from this hell, but his words sparked a small hope within me. Maybe, just maybe, they’d find a way to get me away from this place.Though it's just a wishful thinking, still I want to believe in them, I know they're not either good people or people with good intentions, they just want to use me, but anything is okay, as long as I can escape from this hell.The room fell into stunned silence because of Damien's words.My parents and Selene stared at him as if he’d just proposed something unthinkable or impossible. My father was the first to recover from the shock. "Give her to you?" he repeated with a voice full of disbelief.Damien nodded, gently patting on my head, which I quite liked and felt comforting, "Since you don’t care about her, treating her worse than a
••ALEXANDRA POV••"Come on, Alexa," David smiled, with a gentle yet commanding voice. "Say your answer, do you choose them or us?" I froze for a minute as I can feel my family’s piercing gazes are fixed on me, their expressions a mixture of fury and anxiety as they're not sure what I'm going to say. They were expecting me to be a fool, and choose them even after all the cruelty they had done to me, but for the first time, I realized that I no longer have to go through all that again.The faint glimmer of hope in David’s eyes gave me courage to speak, my heart racing so hard, but I tried my best to keep my voice steady to deliver the answer I'm intended to. "I’ll go with you," I said, each word breaking a chain that had held me captive for so long in this so-called pack as a shadow to my twin sister.The three brothers looked satisfied while my family was extremely stunned by my answer."Alexandra!" My mother’s voice is sharper than a whip. "How dare you say that?"I flinched invol
••NO POV••"Of course," Damien said, wrapping his arm around Alexandra’s shoulder, giving her assurance that they'll not let her go no matter what happens, "once if I say she belongs to us, that means it's final, she belongs to us and none can take her away from us." His tone was light, but there was an unspoken threat in it, Kelvin frowned, crossing his arms. "I feel like you'll regret this decision of yours," he said, with a low yet sharp voice.David's gaze hardened, as he glanced at Kelvin, "If we're talking about regret, you might regret saying something like this to us," he warned without breaking the eyecontact with Kelvin.Dylan sighed heavily, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Enough with this foolish talk. Let’s go, I'm tired already," he said, breaking the conversation, and holding Alexandra's hand, he pulled her away from there."I don't understand how many we have to go through because of you," Dylan became furious at Alexandra, looking at her flinching in fear, Dylan fe
••NO POV••"I'm leaving," Alexandra said firmly, pulling her hand away from Selene.Selene’s voice trembled with desperation. "If you leave, I'll die. You know that, don't you? Still, do you wanna leave? Do you want to see me dead?" Alexandra’s lips curved into a faint, yet bittersweet smile hearing to desperation Selene had just to live longer. "You knew if this continued, I’d die too, did you ever care about that?"Selene didn’t respond, her face stony and calm, as if Alexandra’s words held no weight.Taking a deep breath, Alexandra added coldly, "Then I don't care either, whether you live or die, it’s not my concern anymore.""You can't!" Selene snapped, her composure breaking, as she can't let Alexandra to leave. "You're allowed to live only to keep me alive, you can’t just walk away! Your life or death, it depends on me, you're born for this, did you forget?" Alexandra’s eyes darkened, and she shoved Selene back. "Wake up from your delusions Selene, I wasn’t born to be your lif
••ALEXANDRA POV••"I'm running late for school," I sighed bringing up about the school, slightly pushing Dylan aside, I ran away from there holding back my breath, while running away, all I could hear was their laughter and David's words, "Alexa, don't run sweetheart, you'll fall down." I ignored him, and made my way straight to my room.The moment I stepped into my room, I closed the door in a hurry and leaned against it, exhaling my breath heavily, "Oh God! These four brothers will never let me live peacefully." My heart was still racing from earlier, Dylan’s words, his touch, his kisses, those piercing eyes of the rest of the brothers glancing at me, all these are seriously annoying.I shook my head and groaned, walking straight to the mirror.The reflection staring back at me had bright red cheeks, come on I'm looking almost like a cherry tomato, is this how I stood in front of them till now? "Ugh, crazy... I'm so stupid," I mumbled touching my face as if that would cool down t
••NO POV••"No, it's not like that," Alexandra groaned, hiding her blushing face immediately in her hands. "You guys are seriously bullies!" Dylan gently caressed her hair, "I told you, these people are bullies, but you believed in them, look at them bullying us like this just because we went out for once." "Come on, you don't have to act innocent in front of her," David smacked on Dylan's head, "We are not bullying you but questioning you about taking her out, since we all know how crazy you are! And we are afraid that you might end up hurting that little girl!" Dylan smirked, tightening his hold on Alexandra's waist, "Come on, I'll not hurt her, and I don't find anything wrong with me taking my mate out for a night, how does it even bother you people?" David rolled his eyes. "She is not just yours, Dylan, she belongs to all of us, she is our mate too." Dylan narrowed his eyes, placing a kiss on Alexandra's cheek. "Just as you said, she is our mate, so, she belongs to me too, if
••NO POV••"Chirp... Chirp...." The birds chirping sounded like an alarm, the sun had barely coming out of the clouds, however Alexandra's beautiful sleep was disturbed by birds, she slightly woke up feeling a warm, and tight arms wrapping around her.It took her a moment to realise where she was, curled up in Dylan’s lap, his arms wrapped protectively around her. The fire from last night had turned into ashes, the sunrise was both beautiful and warm, his embrace felt more warmer.Dylan’s chest rose and fell in a slow rhythm, his steady heartbeat against her chest, she stared at his calm face, this is the first she ever got a chance to see him like this, and this is the first time he has been this close and gentle with her.But the moment she moved to touch his face, he stirred in his sleep as if it was a wake up call for him, but his grip around her tightened for a second before his sleepy eyes finally opened.As soon as his eyes glanced at her beautiful and refreshed face, a warm
••NO POV••"Five golden keys," Dylan said with a gentle smile kissing on her forehead, making Alexandra to repeat, "Five?" Dylan nodded, the soft fire casting warm shadows in the woods, the scent of burning wood, fresh soil, made it exciting for both of them, especially the smell from Dylan wanting her to just bite him."These pheromones smell so good," Alexandra whispered, he kissed on her jawline, "Only you can feel them, because you are our little mate." Alexandra blushed biting her lower lip, Dylan placed his hand on her hand tracing lazy circles on her wrist, "Golden keys were a part of werewolf foundation history, and their existence was known by everyone yet it's a secret forbidden to speak out." She mumbled in a calm voice, "Known by everyone, yet forbidden to speak out, why like that?" Dylan let out a soft chuckle looking at her cute face while questioning him, "You ask too many questions, little spy." She frowned turning her face away, "I'm not a spy, you people made
••NO POV••"He won’t let anything happen to her," Damien said with a calm tone, David slammed the armrest of the couch with a scowl, "How come you're so confident? What makes you think he will be tamed with her?" Dominic smiled at David's worries, "Relax David, we know you are worried about her, but see, he loves her a lot, he is serious about Alexa, this is the opportunity for him to cool her hatred towards him." Looking at David being calm, Dominic continued, "Infact, I'm also angry that he took her out without any of our permission but I didn't say a word because this is the only thing we can do now, since, the more she hates him, the more she thinks of leaving this place, if he can manage winning her heart, then her thoughts about leaving this place also decreases, right now, I don't want anything more than this." Damien exhaled, rubbing his temple. "I just hope she doesn’t push him away, but after what he did for her last night, maybe we should try to trust him at least for on
••NO POV••"You don't want me to leave?" Alexandra looks slightly confused, Dylan nodded, making her to smile faintly, "Where can I even go? I've no where to go either!" Dylan gently pulled her into his embrace, "You're mistaken Alexa, our home is your home!" The words which he couldn't say out aloud were felt inwardly, "I'm sorry Alexa, like my brothers said, I can't openly tell you the truth, our lives are hanging on a thin line of hope, that's why we made you our spy instead of happily accepting you as our mate," There is unexplainable pain behind every single word repeating in his heart, "In case, if incase something were to happen to us, we don't want you to suffer, but never expected our fear of losing you will make you think of as cold and unloving beasts, we want to give you a happy home, but instead our cold attitude made you think of escaping from us, I wish we could solve all these misunderstandings one day." The silence between them continued, but it wasn’t uncomfortabl
••NO POV••"Ahhh!" Alexandra screamed in fear, as her heart almost jumped out of her chest when something tiny and warm hopped onto her face.Dylan woke up from sleep being alarmed after hearing Alexandra's scream from now here, "What happened Alexa?" He looked frightened thinking someone intruded into the room.To shake off the sleepiness, he rubbed his eyes, while Alexandra's breathing became heavy when she slowly looked down to check what hopped on her.To her surprise, it's nothing but a small and soft kitten.Dylan let out a deep sigh, falling back on the bed once again. "Seriously? You screamed over a little kitten? What's this Alexa? You woke me up from my deep sleep due to a tiny kitten, how can you do it?" Alexandra is already embarrassed while Dylan is making fun of her, so she sighed. "Why is it even here? I have never seen a kitten in our house before, who brought it, now?""Dominic," Dylan lazily kissed on her hand, "He got it for you only, don't you know that?"Alexandr
••NO POV••"Wrong?" Mr. Helen let out a reassuring smile at Alexandra, "Nothing is wrong, sweetie, it's just, very rare to have such a mark, you've one of the unique birthmarks." Alexandra returned the smile, though a flicker of curiosity was evident on her face while checking the birthmark she has.Meanwhile, Mrs. Helen's thoughts getting scrambled within herself, "It can't be, I must be mistaken, though she has little resemblance, though she reminds me too much of her, still how could this child be the one I'm thinking of? How is that even possible? Maybe it's just a coincidence." Before Alexandra could ask anything, the butler entered and bowed respectfully, "My Lord, just as you instructed, I’ve prepared a room for Mrs. Helen."Mrs. Helen nodded with a smile, "Thank you." With one last glance at Alexandra, she followed the butler out.Alexandra was staring at Mrs. Helen's retreating figure, just then, Dominic's gaze shifted to Alexandra. "Do you like her?""Yeah," Alexandra said
••NO POV••"Yes, I did," Dominic confirmed gently caressing Alexandra's hair. Damien questioned, narrowing his eyes, "But, why? Why did you call her?" Dominic's entire concentration is fixed on Alexandra. "For her," he stated simply smiling at her. "Her?" Dylan repeated with a confused face, "What will she do with Mrs. Helen? Both of them didn't even have any contact with each other, if so why did you call her for Alexa." "You'll find out soon enough," Dominic said while yawning lazily, "But for now, let's go, we can't keep our guest waiting for us." Before following his brothers, he turned to Alexandra with a gentle expression, "Freshen up and come downstairs, my love." Dylan blinked his eyes with an innocent face. "Can I also take some rest and come downstairs?" "Don't act like a spoiled princess," Damien scoffed, and grabbed Dylan's arm to drag him out of the room.Dominic chuckled at his brothers playful actions right in the morning, he leaned down to press a gentle kis
