••ALEXANDRA POV••"My baby!" I tried to open my eyes only to go through throbbing pain in my head, I was too tired and couldn't focus on anything or do anything, but with a sigh, I managed to sit, that too with a great difficulty.I wasn't even able to focus on where I was, it's very unfamiliar, I had no idea currently where I was, my heartbeat increased rapidly when I found out it's neither pack's hospital nor the palace, a relief at the same time a shiver ran through my spine.I felt so heavy and painful in my abdomen.The room around me was so small and simple, but also neat and clean. Sunlight passing into the room through a small window, casting rays of light against the wooden furniture filled in the room.The smell of herbs filled my nostrils together with something that smelled faintly floral.Where was I? What kind of place is this? Who brought me here?I heard a door opening sound slightly, and a little girl, no more than ten entered into the room, staring at me with those
••ALEXANDRA POV••"What do you mean by my family?" I managed to ask, but before she could respond, the door opened again.And here she was.Selene stepped into the room, her face a mix of relief and smugness. She was dressed perfectly as usual, her long hair flowing behind her. My mom followed behind her, a concern shining in her eyes."Alexandra!" Selene called out, running towards me.I tried to stay out of reach of her hands and told her, "Stay away from me."Shockingly, my voice was loud and strong, I backed myself up onto the bed as I created as much space between her and me."Alexandra, darling, it’s us, your mom is here," my mother said softly. "You have nothing to be afraid of.""I told you to stay away!" I yelled, looking at both of them. "Why are you here? How did you even find me?" Selene stopped, and her confident expression wavered for a second before she looked towards our mother."We’ve been looking for you everywhere sweetie," my mother said softly. "Get away from me
••ALEXANDRA POV••The moment we reached the packhouse of my former pack, Selene’s mask of fake concern disappeared. She pushed me forward hard, and I almost fell forward if I hadn’t caught myself at the last second. The guards that were by the entrance moved towards us as she waved her hand forcing them to stay back."Take her," she snapped, her voice as cold as ice and twice as sharp. "Put her in the east wing, make sure she doesn’t leave, and don't let anyone find out about her existence." I was shocked to hear this from her, "What?" What did she mean by that? What does she mean by none should find my existence? Who did she think she was? My heart raced for a minute."You are not serious right now, you can’t do this, I will never allow it, who do you think you're to do this?" "It doesn’t fucking matter what you think," she spat with an irritation filled voice, "you can think whatever you want Alexandra, but this is my place, if I say you're grass, you're freaking grass, if I nee
••ALEXANDRA POV••"You bitch!" Selene lost her patience finally, and her hand raised in air, in no time a harsh slap fell on my face, I stumbled back from the force of it, her hand imprinted on my face because of that harsh slap.I held my cheek in shock as I had not seen this coming.It was clear that just like before, if I do anything that she doesn't like, as always she could lose more of her cool and hit me even more, I can't let her hurt me, because I can't let her harm my child.I was already too weak from all I had endured over the night and the morning, I just needed to be calm and not agitate her anymore."You must've forgotten how to behave well, but don't worry I know how to tame you always," She growled at me as her face was filled with fury, twisting my stomach, she said, "this bastard in your womb, I need it, so keep it safe and deliver it for me, whether I kill it or use it, that'll be deepened on my mood." As soon as those words left her mouth, the anger in me boiled
••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
••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••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••"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••"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.

••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
