••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••"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••"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••"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
••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••"My father planned that entire thing. He wanted to make you look bad in front of the Alpha King, so that they would lose trust in you, and, so that I could take your place in their life," Florentia ended her words making Alexandra to be more surprised.Alexandra took a step back in shock, as she still couldn't understand anything, "Take my place?" Florentia nodded, guilt evident in her eyes, "He wants me to become the wife of the Alpha Kings." Alexandra stared at her in disbelief, not because of what she heard but because of why Florentia chose to say all these, from the beginning it's an easy guess for Alexandra that Florentia is trying to seduce Alpha kings, but never expected the one behind everything is her father."Why are you telling me all these?" Alexandra crossed her arms, "You and I are not close enough for you to disclose something important like this, then why? Why are you saying this to me?" Florentia got closer to Alexandra, with an unreadable expression,
••NO POV••"It's not your fault," Florentia gently tried to assure Alexandra, her voice gentle and calm. "Anybody in your situation would feel the same, because that's how they treated you, not even you could feel their love, so you don't need to blame yourself." Alexandra sighed throwing her head back, "I couldn't understand anything at this moment.""You're confused," Florentia placed her hand on Alexandra's shoulder, "I'm sure it's a part of Alpha kings plan, they want you to get targeted by their enemies so that they can wipe out all those enemies, they don't want anyone to find out you're their weakness, that's why they portrayed you as a pawn in their trap but it's a trap for their enemies, that's why it's quiet confusing to you." Alexandra took a shaking breath, crossing her arms, as if she was guarding herself against the truth that had just been revealed before her. She couldn't help but suspect that there was something more involved behind Florentia's new side in front o
••NO POV••"Yeah," Neville nodded his head slightly, "It's me who carried you to the infirmary, you don't appear to be heavy, but you're quiet heavy to carry." Florentia smacked his arm, "You idiot! Stop spouting nonsense!" "I'm just kidding," Neville chuckled, "However, she looks cute." Alexandra looked calm, however with a sigh, she muttered, "Umm... Thank you for that day, thank you for helping me." With a smile, Neville sat down next to Florentia, and took a glance at Alexandra. "You don't have to thank me Alexa, I'm also one among you people." "You all? All of you one motive, that's for sure, but what's the motive you have?" Alexandra asked with a baffled face, "You people are not like me, you people have happy families, he is son of an Alpha, anc you Tia, you're also a daughter of an Alpha, both of you have everything, and you people know.... I mean, the thing you're doing will ruin your families, are you okay with that?" Neville took a deep breath staring into the silent
••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
