••DOMINIC POV••"I'm sure she'll be happy," I thought to myself looking at the surprise I prepared for her, the moment I stepped into my room, excitement filled through me as I looked for her, "Alexa? Where are you? Look what I brought for you!"A tiny, soft furry white kitten purred in my hands, its big blue eyes blinking up at me. I'm not that good with pets, but Alexandra loves them, so with great difficulty I found this cute baby, I'm so eager to see Alexandra’s reaction. I knew she is interested in cute and little animals, I thought this little thing might bring a smile to her face, but as I took a step forward, my entire body froze.Alexandra was lying on the floor near the door, with an unnaturally pale face, my heart nearly stopped after looking at her.Letting go of the pet, I rushed toward her, and knelt beside her, "Alexa!" My hand instantly went to her forehead.Shut!She was burning up with high temperature, her body was hot, too hot, while her breath was heavy, and her
••ALEXANDRA POV••"Alexandra, you wench! What the hell do you think you’re doing?"My mother's words are as harsh as the slap landed on my cheek."You can’t even clean a room properly? Look at this dirty water everywhere, you fool!" she hissed with disgust, but it's her who kicked the bucket of water accidentally, still I can't speak it out, she yanked my hair, "Guests will be arriving soon for your sister’s birthday week celebration, and you can’t manage this simple task? Useless!" I flinched in pain but didn't dare to make a sound, though the pain made my eyes fill with tears, still I kept my head down, focusing on the ground."Mom," The word slipped out before I could stop myself, but as soon as I said it, I knew it was a grave mistake. Another slap. Harder than earlier. "I told you never to call me that!" she pushed me hard enough making me fall on the floor. "You're not allowed to call me mom, you wretched girl. You will address me as Luna even if it is just two of us, do you
"Mate?" I uttered, the word filled with a mix of disbelief and confusion, is he my mate? Who is he?Before I could even respond, he fiercely took his hand back from me causing me to end up on the floor once again, a commotion began around us. Selene’s frustration ran mercilessly in disdain not bothering about my despair. "What kind of trouble have you caused now, Alexandra? Can't you stay out of trouble at least for one day?"My mother’s arrival isn't any less cruel than Selene's. She stormed in, with a furious face, "Look at the mess you’ve made! Who allowed this idiot here?" she sighed while fanning her face with her hand, "Is this how you present yourself in front of all the guests? How long are you planning on making a fool of our family? You, useless wench!" I wanted to disappear if possible. The weight of their words were unbearable. I tried to gather all the strength to stand, but their harsh words crushed me more further. I felt my heart would shatter with every angry word th
"Luna, Alexandra has been burning up a high temperature from last night. She’s sick! Please show mercy on her,"Clara stepped forward, blocking my mother’s path for the sake of me.A harsh slap landed on Clara's cheek for blocking my mother's way. The sound of the slap echoes through the room, "how dare you to block my way? If you dare to repeat it again you'll be whipped by a silver whip a thousand times." Clara stumbled back, her corner of the lip started bleeding already, but she didn't cry out. She just looked at me, with fear and helplessness in her eyes."Drag her to the extraction cellar immediately," my mother sighed, turning away from Clara as if she was nothing. Four maids held me roughly. I struggled, but they’re too strong for me to escape. Before I could even resist, I was dragged to the extraction cellar forcefully by those maids, "Luna, I can’t do this today, I'm really sick," I begged her with a trembling voice hoping she would show some mercy, "please Luna." But I'
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 s
"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
••DOMINIC POV••"I'm sure she'll be happy," I thought to myself looking at the surprise I prepared for her, the moment I stepped into my room, excitement filled through me as I looked for her, "Alexa? Where are you? Look what I brought for you!"A tiny, soft furry white kitten purred in my hands, its big blue eyes blinking up at me.

••ALEXANDRA POV••"Alexa, please calm down," David tried to hold my hand, "Lan is wrong to talk like that, but he is too possessive, that's why he behaved like that, I'll make him apologise to you." But I pushed him away, "Who wants apologies? Did I even ask it or do you think your sorry could change anything?" The Alpha Kings stared at me in stunned silence. I could see the sparks of disbelief crossing their faces, but it didn’t stop me. I needed to say everything I had saved up in my heart for so long. "I... I just don’t know why I keep letting you all treat me like this," I whispered, my voice raw and broken. "At least when I was in my previous pack, they were honest about what they wanted from me. They used me, yes, but at least they didn’t lie to me about any freedom, or never acted as if they care about me, so it didn't hurt much, they drew my blood, they tortured me, but it wasn’t as painful as this. Not as painful as you three make me feel." A sharp pain passed through
••ALEXANDRA POV••"You'll not understand that," Florentia said with a gentle tone, "All I can say to you is, be careful, don't trust anyone, okay?" I don't know whether she is on my side or just trying to fool me, but I can't help but to nod my head.The ride home from school had been uncomfortable, as her words keep on ringing in my ears, strangely it's not Caleb but another beta, he came to pick me up today.The weight of the events of whole day has been suffocating me, maybe I should ask Clara for some coffee, but the tension had only worsened when I stepped inside the palace.The atmosphere was heavy with anger, something I knew instinctively, I could feel it, the wrath of Alpha kings' and their fury is evident on their faces, as they were waiting for me in the living room.I took a deep breath before walking inside, but as soon as my eyes met them, I realised something was wrong.Clara’s face was tense, her eyes darting nervously between me and the three brothers who stood, arms
••DOMINIC POV••"Choose you?" I sneered glancing at her body from top to bottom, "Despite you standing and dancing naked in front of us, forget about getting hardened, we don't even have the desire to look at you, for what reason we should choose someone like you?" Her pride is hurt, it can easily be seen on her expression, but covering it, she smirked, "I know you don't want to admit it," before she could touch me, Dylan reacted.In a fraction of seconds, he grabbed her wrist and threw her to the ground. She gasped, barely catching herself as she fell on the hard floor."What the hell did you do?" She shouted checking at her body, Dylan's voice was laced with venom, "The hell you deserve, no matter what you do, no matter how hard you try, you will never be Alexa in our heart." Selene’s seductive facade cracked, her expression twisted into anger. "Alexa, what's so great about that bitch? She is wolfless, not talented, not even beautiful.." Before she could continue further, Davi
••DOMINIC POV••"Did you drop her safely?" I asked Caleb who returned palace after dropping Alexandra, he nodded his head, "Yes, my Lord." Since she reached school already, we have some work left to do, she had no idea what we planned to do today, it's better if she doesn't know what we are going to do.Clara stood before us, slightly shaking in fear."When Alexa comes back in the evening, make sure she doesn't step out and stay within the palace, understand?" Dylan giving her instructions.Clara nodded immediately. "Sure, my Lord." David stepped forward, with a soft smile, "We will make sure to come back before she returns from school, if we don't, take care of her for us and stay with her the entire time." Clara swallowed hard in nervousness and nodded her head again, "Sure, my Lord." I said nothing, since both of them already told her all the necessary things, I don't think I've anything to say.With that, we left. The next destination of ours is Alexandra's pack, we made sur
••NO POV••"Did she leave for real?" Florentia felt inwardly, "Did I truly overreact?" She turned around to check but there's no traces of Alexandra and she finally realised that Alexandra has left for real."I didn't mean to hurt you Alexa," Florentia clenched her fist, sighing deep inside, "I also want to tell you everything but this isn't that right time, you're not in a proper situation to protect yourself, how can I tell you the truth you're supposed to know at a time like this?" The cafeteria buzzed with chatter and laughter, but a tense silence had settled around a particular place.Celine, Florentia, and Vivan sat close together, their meals were untouched as their conversations are running toward something far more serious than idle gossip.Celine leaned in, with a soft voice, "Why did you react like that, Tia? Did you see Alexandra’s face? Poor girl! She must've felt hearing that you speak like in such a way, we already did a lot to hurt her previously, when things are fin
••ALEXANDRA POV••"What exactly happened just now? Did I manage to escape from him or did he leave by himself? I still couldn't come out of that scene from my mind.I checked around me, none were there, how come no one is near the bathroom? How did a man manage to come here all the way?Is it a mistake or is he a stalker? Am I thinking too much or is it a plan of anyone? What's happening here? I stomped my foot in anger not understanding what just happened, especially that hoodie guy, it's a voice I never heard, next thing, why did he hide his face? What does he mean by I'll remember him? Why will I remember someone like him?"Should I go and report about this incident?" I wondered, "It's okay if my report takes a positive effect, if not, what if people start gossiping about me? What if it takes turn into another way? No...no, I can't handle it! Should I let it be like this only? No, I don't think, it's a good idea either, maybe after going home, I should tell Clara or Dominic about
••ALEXANDRA POV••"That was a few days back," Florentia huffed, pulling back and dramatically flipped her golden curls over her shoulder. "Do you know how many things you missed being away from the school? Ugh! I can't wait to tell you everything, come on, you've to sit with me, then I'll tell you all the gossip." Without waiting for my response, she looped her arm through mine and dragged me along, I sighed internally but let her do it not for herself, but for myself, for some reason people are scared of Florentia, if I were to get close to her, people will try to be away from me, that's a good thing anyhow.Florentia was useful in her own way, she knew everything happening in this school, and if I was going to keep my ear to the ground like the Alpha Kings instructed, she was my best source of information. As we entered the classroom, students were scattered around, waiting for the lecturer to arrive. Some were laughing in groups, others scrolling through their books, and a few
••ALEXANDRA POV••"This dress looks beautiful on you," Dominic handed me a lavender knee length designer frock, glancing at it, I looked surprised, "Should I wear this to school?"Dominic nodded, "I specially made them customise these outfits for your school, don't you like them?" "I love them," I said being overwhelmed by his love and care, "but, don't you think it's too much to wear something like this to school?" Dominic shook his head, "No, not at all, your outfit shows from where you are going, this is Alpha kings' palace, so you've to be someone who makes our place shine with the way you exhibit yourself infront of the public." I nodded my head and went to get dressed, as soon as I came back wearing that dress, Dominic smiled immediately, "You look so beautiful, just like an angel!" I gave a peck on Dominic's lips with a smile, "Thanks!" Pulling me into his lap, Dominic smirked, "If you want to thank me, do it in a different way when we are alone in the night, in a way only
