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
••NO POV••"Should I really stop thinking about it?" "Do I really have to give up?" "Is it my fate?" "If what he said is truth, shouldn't I take revenge?" Many thoughts and doubts messing with Alexandra's mind almost making it impossible even to take a breath in discomfort.The garden was so quiet, the scent of fresh roses filled in the evening air as Alexandra walking in between those roses wanting to find some peace of mind.The golden glow of the setting sun is filled with warmth but her heart remained clouded with turmoil of emotions. Her fingers gripping the edge of her sleeves, as thoughts swirled in her mind, heavy and bothering.Clara, who had been silently walking beside her, finally broke the silence. "What happened, Alexa? Is everything okay? I've been observing you, lately you're too lost within your thoughts and not at all communicating with any of us, are you okay?" Alexandra hummed in response, her voice softer than usual, "I don't even know what to say Clara, in
••NO POV••"Alexandra... Alexandra" This was the name everywhere heard after that night party, everyone is curious about this particular person because of her closeness with alpha kings.Now, even Kelvin became more curious to bring her back to use her strength and influence.The dimly lit room inside the manor was filled with the scent of burning incense, the thick smoke curling into the air as Kelvin sat at the head of a long, dark wooden table. His expression was grim, his fingers drumming against the polished surface. Across from him, Rosalyn leaned back in her chair, sipping from a glass of wine, her eyes narrowed in thought.The atmosphere was tense with no words. There was no denying the truth anymore, Alexandra was no longer the helpless, submissive girl they once controlled. She had grown stronger, more powerful, and worse, influential.Rosalyn sighed dramatically, swirling the crimson liquid in her glass. “We should have killed her when we had the chance, if not because
••NO POV••"I'll take my leave now Alexa, it's pretty late, I can't be here anymore, let's speak in school further," Saying that Florentia left almost immediately.Just as Florentia left Dominic came inside, his face looking worried as he glanced at Alexandra, "well, Alexa, you have been struck to the room while day, why don't we go out?" "Out?" Alexandra asked with an innocent face, "To where?" Dominic said, "you'll know it, please come with me." She couldn't say no to him at the sametime, she doesn't want to stay at home anymore, so decided to go along with him.He took her to the forest for a date to make her mind peaceful from all the tensions.The night air was chilling, carrying the faint scent of trees and damp soil as Dominic led Alexandra deeper into the woods. Moonlight has filtered through the tall trees, casting silvery shadows along the forest floor. The cool breeze brushed against her skin, but she barely noticed, it was hard to feel the cold when Dominic was besid
••NO POV••"Let me show you something interesting!" Florentia giggled, Alexandra looked confused, "Interesting?" A dim glow from the bedside lamp casts soft shadows across the room, highlighting the delicate golden key in Alexandra’s palm. It was small, light, and seemingly ordinary, but Florentia’s expression said otherwise.“This,” Florentia said, her voice low and measured, “isn’t just any key, Alexa, this is a legacy, a weapon, and now, it belongs to you.”Alexandra turned the key over in her fingers, running her thumb across the intricate engravings. She frowned slightly, skeptical. “What do you mean, it belongs to me?”Florentia smirked, leaning back against the headboard. “It chooses its master. You don’t just hold it, you command it.”Alexandra scoffed, shaking her head. “So it’s a magic key?”Florentia chuckled. “In a way, yes.” Then, more seriously, she added, “Close your eyes, Alexa.”Alexandra hesitated, glancing at her friend’s face, searching for any sign of a trick. Bu
••NO POV••"What's the time?" Alexandra frowned looking around.The morning sun had no place in Alexandra’s world today. The heavy curtains in her room remained shut, blocking out the golden rays that attempted to seep through. The air was thick, suffocating even, as she lay in bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.Her mind was a battlefield, torn between disbelief and the cruel possibility that Theon had been telling the truth.You’re not who you think you are.The words replayed in her head like a broken record.You’re not their daughter, you’re the real Alpha’s child.Alexandra clutched the blanket tighter around her. How was she supposed to process this? If Theon was lying, it was a cruel, twisted game. But if he was telling the truth...Her heart pounded in her chest.The crescent-shaped birthmark on her wrist burned into her thoughts.It had always been there, something she had never questioned. A simple mark. Nothing more. But now… Now it was a symbol of everything she didn’t
••NO POV••"Why am I the one centre of everything always?" Alexandra thought to herself, as she couldn't bring herself to say anything at that moment.However, before she could realise, she fell asleep in the arms of Dylan, and looking at Dylan who is asleep peacefully, Dylan gently caressed her hair, "Looks like you're so terrified, I'm so sorry my love....." She curled herself like a ball in his arms, he also hugged her protectively.As she was sleeping peacefully, Dylan couldn't help but to think what might be spoken by Theon."That bastard! What exactly did he say to her? Why is she so terrified? Did he threaten her or something?" The mere thought of him threatening her, he immediately turned furious, "That bastard, if I were to find him again, I'll bury him alive." "My Lord, we reached," the driver said, that's when Dylan finally realised that they reached the house, he calmly got out of the car along with Alexandra.As she was sleeping peacefully in his arms, he carried her i
••NO POV••"They're coming," Neville sighed dragging Florentia to the another corner.While Neville and Florentia are struggling to come out safe.On the other side, The air at night was so cool laced with the faint scent of roses from the garden surrounding the lavish event. Alexandra stood near the grand fountain, arms crossed, her mind far away from the music and chatter of the party. She had never felt comfortable in places like these, too many eyes, too many whispers, however today she is trying her best to stay calm and not to overreact.She was about to leave when a familiar presence stood behind her."Theon."She spoke his name without turning, already recognizing his scent. A scent that once made her mesmerized, but now only made her stomach twist in disgust."Alexa," his voice was softer than she remembered, carrying an unusual hesitation, it wasn't like this before when he rejected her coldheartedly.She finally turned, facing the man she has hated to the core.His nor
••NO POV••"It's not time yet," Neville coming back sighed, "At that place, guards are heavy, I think it's time for us to go in to clear suspicion of those people." Alexandra sighed, "Did anyone find out about you?" "No, but people almost noticed me, so let's not be here anymore, let's go inside," Florentia said, together all of them went inside without making a sound and stayed in their original position.Just then, music filled the grand hall, a symphony of elegance and rhythm guiding the guests to the dance floor. Theon, with a confident smile, extended his hand towards Alexandra, expecting her to accept without hesitation, "Shall I have a dance with you beautiful?" Alexandra remembered how he insulted her back then and called her disgusted, and asked her sister to dance with him, now he is acting all innocent and good.That infuriated her, almost immediately, but she didn't say anything, not even a word.Rolling her eyes, being unimpressed by his audacity. Instead, she turned
••NO POV••"Why does this voice sound so familiar?" Alexandra felt inwardly and turned around only to find Professor Jackson."When did you meet him?" Florentia whispered, "Do you know him already?" "Are you familiar with him?" Neville asked, Alexandra responded with a gentle smile, "Well, I met him in the library, not that familiar or close." Professor Jackson approached them, his tone polite yet filled with intrigue. "How are you dear?" Jackson asked her gently, Alexandra smiled at him, "I'm fine, thanks for asking me professor, I hope you're doing well....." Jackson smiled back at her, "Yes, I'm doing well dear, glad to see you here, I feel relieved as soon as I seen you." Alexandra couldn't help but to let out a gentle smile, the group immediately straightened, exchanging quick glances before excusing themselves, leaving Alexandra alone with the professor."Woah, Alexa is truly an amazing girl!" Florentia praised her, "Professor Jackson is someone so hard to approach even for
