I couldn't help but to step back out of fear hearing to his voice. Beta Karlos, the most notorious person stood there, with an intimidating aura almost wanting to kill me, "Why did you and Clara try to escape?" he demanded with a cold voice passing chills throughout my body.
Clara and I exchanged a glance, but neither of us dared to speak, we just prepared to leave but never prepared an answer about what to say if we were caught. The truth of our plan is too dangerous to reveal, and our silence can be the only thing that can save us for the time being. Karlos face stiffened with anger as he became impatient by our silence. "So, you choose silence? Very well." He signalled for the guards, who held us forcefully following Karlos. We were dragged through to the dungeon where my mom is waiting, her face is masked with fury. Karlos reported our attempted escape. My mother’s eyes reddened in anger as if fire igniting in her eyes, the moment she slapped me across the face, the force of her slap made me to stumble. "Useless wretch!" she yanked my hair, I can sense her trembling with anger. "How dare you to think about escaping? You will never leave this palace! If you dare to run away again, I'll chop down your limbs to lock you forever, keep it in mind," she slapped me again and again to satisfy her anger, but her rage have no bounds. Clara fell on my mother's feet pleading for me, "Luna, please leave her, she'll die, she is already weak," my kicked her away mercilessly, and threw me towards Clara with force, "if not because of your sister's engagement today, I would've killed you, damn bitch!" "Lock them both in the dark room," she commanded with an annoyed tone wanting to hide my presence till everything is settled, "Starve them until my further orders, don't even offer a glass of water to them." "Yes Luna!" They bowed respectfully obeying her orders. The guards pushed Clara and me into the dark room ruthlessly, we fell on the cold and hard floor which bruised us once again, doors were locked right in front of us taking away the last bit of light, leaving us with darkness and despair. I could hear her soft breathing nearby, but the darkness filled everywhere in the room, making it difficult to even see the person right beside me, so I thought at least my voice could reach her as I owe an apology to her. “I’m sorry,” I apologised to Clara, my voice barely more than a whisper. I felt her reaching out to my hand as she tried to speak, "It’s not your fault, Alexa. Please don't apologise, it's your mother who is the cause of this situation of ours, not you." I couldn’t find the strength to argue. The hunger within me took away the last bit of strength that was left, the cold, unforgiving walls of the dark room reminded me of my entire life from the day I was born to till today. In the extreme silence filled room, Clara broke that silence with her concerned question which she didn't bother to ask earlier. "Alexa, why did you try to escape? What made you to think of escaping, out of a sudden?" That horrible memory rewinded in front of me once again, as I began to speak about their cruel plans to ruin my life. "That’s monstrous! How could they think about something so cruel?" Clara was stunned hearing to everything. Along with blood even tears must've been drained, even though I wanted to try, they're not coming out. "I don’t know why they’re doing this to me Clara. I thought I was just a cursed omen, but it turns out they sealed my wolf to use me like this for Selene." "Both of you are their children, then how can they love one to the extent of ruining another one's life?" Clara sighed, being as clueless as I was. Clara cursed my family’s cruelty, her voice a mix of frustration and helplessness, because neither of us could do anything as we don't have enough strength to fight back. We endured two days of continuous starvation, our bodies started weakening from the lack of food and water. On the third day, a little portion of food was finally brought to us. We devoured it with a desperate hunger, feeling a slight relief since our stomachs finally filled with food. But just as I started to feel better, I noticed Clara falling unconscious strangely, just then the doors were opened once again, and maids entered, "Luna asked for your presence," they said taking me out of the dark room and into a well-lit bed chamber. The sudden brightness making me blink hard. I was bathed and groomed roughly, my skin tingling with the touch of unfamiliar hands, I can't help but to suspect their actions. The maids then forced me to take a strange, bitter medicine, which I protested against but they made me swallow it. Almost immediately, an unsettling sensation began to build within me. A flush of heat spread through my body, an involuntary response to the medicine that made me feel increasingly restless and disoriented seeking for more warmth. I struggled to control my reactions, but the sensation was impossible to ignore, my body betraying me in its desire. This wasn’t just another punishment but it was a cruel twist, a form of manipulation meant to break me further. "After today, you'll never think about escaping," I heard my mom laughing, "I'm a good mother allowing you to satisfy your desires, so get served well." They immediately left the room leaving me alone, I realised their plan and I shouldn't give in, when I heard the footsteps near the door and a male voice, "I'll do just as you wanted Luna." "No...no, I shouldn't let this happen," I rushed to lock the room from inside and jumped out of the window pulling up all the courage I've had, thankfully I'm fine with small injuries, when I got up from the ground and tried to run but bumped into someone. Their presence was overpowering, and I heard a husky voice, "This little pup is in rut, interesting!" "She smells good," the other one said sniffing around, I don't know what made me say it, but I said shamelessly, "it's uncomfortable, hug me." "Don't regret it later," I heard him whisper in my ear, I nodded immediately hugging him, the next minute I was lifted in the air and carried by someone but not in a position to stop him, my vision blurring while my mind was fogged by the strange medicine. I felt hands on me, touching me in ways that made my skin crawl and my heart race, but I wanted it more. My dress was torn away, and I could feel the rough, intrusive touches all over my body, as if my body was a plaything for their desires. Not one but I felt more, gripping and groping every part of my body, there were bites and kisses that left marks of pain and pleasure, my own body betraying me with sensations that confused and terrified me, making me crave for more, am I this desperate always or is it just a medicinal effect? "She tastes divine," a dark chuckle echoed in the room burning my cheeks out of embarrassment as his tongue playing with that part of my body. I was pinned to a soft mattress, my lips were captured by some rough and chapped lips, while my body is burning by the other one's touches, and a strange feeling when something was poking near my vagina, I can feel a smooth tip wanting to enter into me. The pain intensified, especially between my legs, as if I was being torn apart, "Ahhhhh!" "Yes little pup, moan harder," he groaned thrusting more deeper into me, I cried in pain and pleasure, it's huge and tearing me inside, I can feel them devouring me and my body, with their shameless words, "cum for me, little pup." My vision darkened, and I lost consciousness after reaching the point of pleasure multiple times, succumbing to the overwhelming sensations. The sun rays straight on my face disturbed the sleep, with great difficulty when I opened my eyes, I noticed I was in bed, but whose bed is it? The sharp pain between my legs was extreme to even move, as if I had been trampled by a herd of elephants. I could feel the heat of two bodies pressed against me, their skin against mine, and the mingling of their breaths. The moment I pulled sheets away, I can see three hot naked men hugging my naked body, the perverted sight in front of me reminded horny memories of the previous night, "Who are these people?""Oh no! I messed up." Those were the only words I could manage to utter, staring at the dramatic scene around me. My heartbeat increased rapidly with the growing realization that I hadn’t just escaped one trap, I’d stumbled into another, and with strangers I didn’t recognize. Who were these three? They didn't look like anyone from the packs I knew.Then, the memory of Clara hit me like a shock of cold water. She was all alone in that room, defenseless. If they caught on to my escape, she’d be their next target, I had to get to her before it was too late.I tried to lift their hands off me as quietly as possible, avoiding any further disturbance, so that I could escape easily from this place."What are they eating? Are their hands made of dumbbells?" Why are they so heavy?" I couldn't help but curse my weak strength, struggling against their grip. Lifting those arms felt like a workout in itself, but I finally managed to crawl out of bed. I can't walk out in this naked state, but whe
"Wh...what did you say?" I froze for a minute after hearing to what he said, and he was staring at body like a hungry wolf, "so, it must be quite enjoyable last night, isn't it? After it's a surprise planned by your mother right?" "H-how did you know?" I stammered, barely managed to speak, as my heart is almost ready to jump out of my chest, I couldn't understand how he got to know about my mother's twisted plan! Not only that, he is acting as if it is nothing, what kind of person is he?He let out a low and dark chuckle, "Come on, ugly duckling," he sneered, leaning in close enough that his breath brushed my neck. "I know everything, so you don't have to act innocent," His face hovered by my shoulder as he inhaled, a shiver of disgust running down my spine. "But you smell different, aren't you supposed to smell like an omega after spending a night with him? Why do you smell entirely different?" I pulled back instinctively, pushing him away with every ounce of strength I had within
••DAMIEN POV••"Who is it? Just close those damn curtains," I groaned as sunlight fell across my face.Squinting, I opened my eyes slowly, to find the girl from last night lying beside me. But there was no sign of her, just the three of us, David, Dylan, and me. I frowned as I got up from the bed, "where is she?" I checked everywhere throughout the room, but she is not even in the bathroom.The only thing I was able to notice in the room was the shirt I left on the floor last night gone missing, scanning the room, I noticed everything else was untouched, "so, she wasn't a thief." I took out another shirt from the cupboard, and got dressed."What’s so special about my shirt?" I muttered under my breath. "There are plenty of other things in here she could’ve taken, what made her to take my shirt?" I wandered the halls in search of her there were no traces of her. Being frustrated, I returned to the room, as I stepped into the room, realisation struck my head about the precious thing
••DAMIEN POV••"Let’s go to the dungeon immediately," I said, glancing at both Dylan and David, they nodded agreeing with me. The maid immediately stiffened and blocked my path with a shivering tone, "My lord, the dungeon is a restricted area, even the maids who work here aren't allowed to go there, they won’t allow anyone there, Beta Karlos is a very dangerous man." I smirked. "Oh, really? Let’s see who dares to stop the Alpha kings!""Alpha kings?" All of them looked surprised as I revealed our identity, and immediately they moved away no longer blocking our path.With that, we headed towards the dungeon, following the directions the maid had given. As soon as the guards saw us approaching, they stepped aside, visibly trembling in fear. The dungeon was dark, damp, and filled with a foul stench of blood, but it wasn’t nearly as terrifying as the dungeons we were used to. That's when we heard it, a girl’s desperate cries filled throughout the cold walls of the dungeon."I’m innocent
••ALEXANDRA POV••The last thing I remembered before darkness consumed me was a voice, loud, domineering, but distant, fading as I slipped into an unconscious state.Now, there are more voices around me, unfamiliar yet familiar, stirring something deep inside. My eyelids feel impossibly heavy, but I forced them to open, blinking against the dizziness."She’s waking up," I hear a gentle voice with full of relief, who must be waiting for me to wake up? Slowly, my vision got clear, and I see him, one of those three from last night, smiling softly at me, but my heart racing out of nervousness, I tried to move away from him, but he reached out, steadying me, his touch gentle and careful, "Don't be afraid," he said quietly helping me to sit properly, "We will not harm, you're safe now."I’m trembling, barely trying to understand his words, at the same time the other two of them stepped in front of me. My throat is dry, as fear passing through me, slowly he offered me a glass of water. "Her
••ALEXANDRA POV••"Yes, we are the Alpha Kings, do you know about us?" David responded calmly tracing his hand on my face, I was jolted with shock as his words were sinking in my heart slowly, Alpha Kings? I had heard my father and Beta Karlos whisper about them as bloodthirsty monsters, cruel and ruthless. Yet here they were, standing before me like all other ordinary people, and they didn’t seem half as terrifying as my own family.David gently placed his hand on my head as if he is patting, a gesture that was oddly comforting, "You don’t have to be scared, we won't hurt you," he assured me, I managed a nod though I was nervous because of their identity, no wonder they managed to get me out of the dungeon, if not because of their status as Alpha kings, who would dare to stand-up against Luna of this pack!But my attention shifted quickly to Dylan, who held a maid off the ground by her throat, her legs kicking helplessly in the air, "let me go!" It was horrifying even to take a simp
••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
••ALEXANDRA POV••"You've the same eyes as your mother, you've to live well," He said looking in my direction.My blood turned to ice in surprise.I turned my head slightly, my voice barely a whisper. "Who is this man? What does he meant by I've my mother's eyes? I don't look like any of them." My father turned around, his sharp eyes scanning the room, my heart pressed against my ribs as I hid behind the wall, praying he wouldn’t see me."Who are you talking to?" My father demanded.The man chuckled weakly, his voice dripping with bitterness. "No one, just ghosts, since heaven never heard my prayers, I'm happy that at least the ghost heard my prayers Kelvin, the past and your sins going to hunt you, the so-called Alpha position, you conspired a lot to get that, it'll be never yours!" My father kicked the man, "He finally went crazy, lock him up and starve him, but don't let him die." Taking this opportunity, I rushed away from there, making sure my footsteps are silent not disturbi
••ALEXANDRA POV••"This feels so good," I can't help but grin sitting on the soft mattress, finally they agreed with all my demands, I got the best room to stay and serving good food, after what happened happened with Faria, no maids dared to look down on me or hurt me.The cool evening air brushed against my skin as I stepped into the beautiful garden. I adjusted the shawl draped over my shoulders, the fabric trying to shield me from the cold chills.It feels so refreshing and relaxing to step outside after being confined within walls, but the weight of Selene’s presence irritated me.I glanced back at the guard staring at me like a shadow. Silent and stern, Just as Selene had said.Her words from earlier echoed in my mind, "Don't get too comfortable, Alexandra, he is here to make sure you behave well, and don't even think about going near the northern path, you know what'll happen if Theon or dad sees you, so just be here nearby." She had stood there observing carefully, her ha
"You people?" Clara even in that pain recognised those people, they're none other than the guards who torments her in the cell.Her fear and words, made one of them to laugh mockingly, "Yes, it's us only, from the day you've entered the palace, we laid our eyes on you, during that torment, we thought you'll give yourself to us in return, but instead that little bitch helped you to escape, because of you, we are punished by the Alpha Kings, now let's see who'll come to save you." Clara crawled back on the ground, "If Alpha kings get to know these, you will be dead," rather than being scared of them, instead they laughed, "Alpha kings? Do you even know about their truth? They're nothing but puppets under our Lord, sooner or later, they'll die!""What the!" Clara was taken aback after hearing to their words, yanking her hair, a man asked, "Do you know why your friend ran away?" Clara flinched in fear and pain, the man said, "She is pregnant, and Alpha Kings doesn't want that child, in
"How ca...can you be so heartless?" Faria shouted, Alexandra rolled her eyes bending down to see Faria in closeup, "Heartless, and ruthless, these are something I learned from you and your master, so stop acting as if you're innocent."Pushing her aside, Alexandra stood up, "if you're done here, just get lost from here." Faria stood from the ground but when she almost left the room, Alexandra stopped her, "Ahhh, one more thing." Faria turned around, Alexandra said, "I can't sleep on the ground even if it is for tonight, tell your Luna to prepare a good bed for me here." "A bed?" Faria repeated, Alexandra nodded, "Yes, a bed, don't tell me you're expecting me to sleep on the ground, are you?"Faria shook her head, "No...no, I'll immediately tell Luna about this," saying that Faria ran out of the room, Alexandra clapped her hands and laughed wholeheartedly, "Finally, I did it, I managed to do it, for years they threatened me and made me scared but look at them now, it's so amazing."
••NO POV••"You will not leave the estate grounds, you will not speak to anyone, you've to hide your face, and if you do anything such as giving a hint of truth to Theon or anyone else, you’ll regret it," Britney gave list of instructions Alexandra was supposed to follow if she wants the freedom she is looking for.Alexandra hearing to everything thought to herself, "Why would I even waste my time by hinting people about their fake pregnancy rumors? All I want is a single opportunity to leave this place." Alexandra let out a smug smile as she is happy that everything is going in a way she expected, "Of course I'll do just as you wanted, don't worry Luna, I'm not stupid enough to slip the truth out easily, I know how to keep my mouth shut, as long as I get what I want." Selene stared at her mother in disbelief. "You can’t be serious mom, you can't let her be out of this place, what if she uses this for her own advantage?" "Do you have any other alternatives?" Britney snapped at her
••NO POV••"This celebration is for princess Selene's pregnancy," the loud cheers and soft of him filled faintly through the grand halls of the pack house.Outside, the pack feasted and danced under the moonlight with joyous news of Selene's pregnancy.Inside, however, in the dimly corridors, near the secluded room, Selene paced back and forth, her delicate fingers trembling as they clutched a silver goblet of wine. Her elegant frock to show off her fabricated pregnancy with a fake bump, moved with each step of her.Her face, normally a mask of angelic and smile, was replaced with anxiety.From behind the locked door, Alexandra’s relentless banging continued. "Selene! Open this damn door, or I swear, I’ll scream loud enough for your precious husband to come running! If you dare to ignore me, I'll let the entire pack to hear my screams about your fake pregnancy." Selene froze, her heart almost jumped out of the chest, immediately she turned to Britney who was standing beside her, eve
••NO POV••The tension in the pack of Alpha Kings escalated to dangerous levels as Dylan, Damien and David tore through their territory just to search for Alexandra.The initial desperation to find Alexandra morphed into pure rage and their pack was feeling the effects. Guards, servants, even high ranking pack members were all subjected to relentless questioning and everything is related to Alexandra."Did you find her?" Dylan barked as he pushed a guard to the wall in rage. "You must have found something right, where is she?" Dylan yanked on the guard’s coat, causing him to stumble backwards. Sweat was pouring down his face and he stammered, "I s-swear my Lord I haven’t seen her! I don’t know anything! I'm still looking for her." Dylan dropped him to the ground. "You all are useless, you can't even a find little girl, what kind of wolves are you?" Damien, on the other hand, was scouring the training grounds, his eagle eyes darting all around him as he snapped orders at warriors.
••NO POV••"I know that you all are suspicious of me, but Alexa is my one and only best friend, even if there is a single chance to find her and bring her back, I'll do it, because she is someone so important to me," Clara cried hoping them to believe in her.Damien looked at Dylan who appeared doubtful, then they both turned towards David, who didn’t say anything for some time."You may go," David straightened himself. "However, if you think you can find her, all I can say is only one thing, if you were to leave now, it's better if you don’t come back without Alexa." Clara felt her heart drop and jump out on fear, but she nodded her head, "I understand my Lord, thank you for giving me this chance." Dylan’s gaze was relentless. "Don’t mistake this lenience of ours as trust only, no matter where you go, you'll be under our surveillance, if you dare to think about escaping, don't blame us for being cruel," he threatened her with a serious tone."I won’t escape, my Lord," Her voice did
••NO POV••"I know we are making this decision for the best reasons only," David said looking at Damien and Dylan, "But that baby solely doesn't belong to us, it belongs to her also." Dylan crossed his arms, "What are you trying to say David." "I think it's better if we talk to Alexa," David finally expressed his opinion, "She also has a right on that baby, why don't we explain it to her and listen to her before we make a decision about the termination of her pregnancy?" Damien spared a glance at David, "Do you even think that she would consider having a child with us? To her, we didn't brought her as a mate to make her our queen, so, I don't think she would even think of carrying our child." "All she want is freedom, she is so eager to leave us brother," Dylan said bitterly, "A woman who has no desire to live with us, why would she even want our child?" David shook his head, as no matter what they said, he still couldn't ready to accept it, "If it is anyone else, I would think t
