"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
••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
••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
••NO POV••"You must’ve done something! It must be you," Selene started accusing Alexandra automatically, full of frustration.Alexandra settling her messy hair, spared s glance at Selene who is fuming with anger, "Stop blaming me like a fool! What could I have even possibly do when your guard dragged me back here before I could even think of running away? When I don't even have time to run away, how could I even meet your husband and tell him about your fake pregnancy? So kindly enlighten me, what kind of mischief do you think I managed under constant surveillance?" Selene paced, her fingers twisting nervously in the fabric of her gown. Her anxiety is evident in her movements, "No… no, I'll not believe you, it has to be you only," Alexandra chuckled leaning back against the wall, "Selene, you've done so many bad things, the whole pack has been whispering behind you, even though hid about my matter perfectly, the other things are spreading like wild fire, though it was a short walk
"Warriors, are you prepared?" Dylan glanced at the pack guards standing in front of him. All the guards, at a time unitedly shouted aloud giving goosebumps to everyone, "Yes my Lord!" The night was supposed to be one of the peaceful moments, but it was anything but peace.The soft glow of lanterns around the pack’s estate was overshadowed by the thick smoke filling in the air. The ground trembled under the heavy thuds of advancing warriors, their growls and howls echoing through the forest. At the pack’s border, chaos began. The three Alpha kings, David, Damien, and Dylan, were like ruthless beasts unleashed, their fury and rage is uncontrollable.Warriors before them like leaves in a hurricane. Claws slashed, jaws snapped, and blood splattered across the ground.The warriors brought by three brothers are no common warriors, they're called as bloodthirsty devil warriors, till today none managed to escape from their attack.Damien, the eldest and most calculated of the three, tor
••NO POV••"Should I be glad that they're here for me? Or should I be worried about the bloody war happening infront of me?" Alexandra sighed inwardly, watching the chaos in front of her.The courtyard, once beautiful under the full moon, had turned into a battlefield of anger and desperation. She could see the situation getting out of control, innocent lives caught in the crossfire of a war that wasn’t theirs to fight.Her heart raced in anxiety, and she couldn’t stay silent any longer.Taking a deep breath, Alexandra stepped out from her hiding place.But before she could take another step, Selene’s hand stopped Alexandra from leaving, "Where do you think you're going?" Selene hissed with a sharp and accusing voice.Alexandra tried to get her arm free, her voice trembling with urgency. "Are you crazy? Can’t you see what’s happening? They’re here because of me and all these things are happening for me, so let go of me, only I can stop them." Selene’s grip tightened, digging her na
••NO POV••"The baby is no more," the doctor said with a tensed face, "It's an unfortunate miscarriage, my Lord." Damien, David and Dylan, three of them were startled by the truth.After delivering the news, the doctor left from there silently, leaving the three brothers to drown in sadness."The child, she tried her best to save till the end, it's no more, how is she going to accept this?" David's voice was raw with emotion, while Damien sighed, "She loved that baby more than herself, but I couldn't understand why something like this happened!"Dylan looked guilty more than his two brothers, "I'm the reason behind these all, if only I was gentle or understanding like David said, maybe this wouldn't have happened.""It's no use of blaming ourselves right now Lan," David placed a hand on Dylan's shoulder, "Right now rather than what happened, you've to concentrate on what is supposed to happen, right at this moment we have to be more understanding towards Alexa, she needs us and our s
••NO POV••"My Lord?" Alexandra desperately glanced at Damien hoping for an answer.Damien looked away, pain evident in his voice.Alexandra’s heart sank. "No," she whispered, shaking her head again and again, "No, no, no! My baby, what happened to my baby?" "Alexa," David tried to console her, reaching out to take her hand, but she pushed it away."Don’t touch me!" She screamed loudly in anger. "You’re hiding something! I know you are hiding something from me, just tell me, either say the truth or I'll kill myself." Damien holding back his own pain finally said out of fear that Alexandra might hurt herself, "Miscarriage, the baby is no more." Both David and Dylan glared at Damien for saying the truth, Alexandra still can't believe what she heard, out of rage and anger, she started screaming and crying, "The baby is completely fine, there's no way my baby could be dead, you...you people must've done something to my baby, you killed my baby." "Stop it!" Dylan’s voice rose, startlin
••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,
••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
