HER RIGHTFUL MATE

PRESENT

The first thing Stacey noticed as she opened her eyes was the dim room and the faces she had never seen before. She scrunched her face up at the splitting ache in her head before opening her eyes again. A man was with a needle, ready to insert it in her anytime from his face. A woman sat beside her, her palm around her small hand, from the way she was holding her, she could tell the woman was holding her down.

“Where am I?” She finally muttered, darting her eyes between both of them.

"She's awake." the woman yelled out. 

“Get the alpha, now!” The man with the needle ordered as the woman eyed her before standing up.

“Where am I?” She asked again, closing her eyes tightly and trying to remember anything.

Her father. A meeting. The elders. A light.

“Ahh!” She half growled out as she opened her eyes again.

“Do not come near me!” She snapped at the man before he could come any closer.

She managed to sit up. She couldn’t remember anything, but fragments of the last incident. She was in a room, filled with people and they were all laughing with her. Then there was a bright light, something she couldn’t tell where it came from.

She blinked as her wolf sensed a brave aura of someone approaching the room, causing her to be high on alert, her eyes fixed on the door.

“Your highness,” the man with the needle greeted.

The highness met with her eyes, and Stacey could swear she had seen this man somewhere before, somewhere she couldn’t remember. He stayed at the same spot with his eyes boring deep into hers.

“Show your power."He finally said before taking a step towards her.

Stacey brows creased at his words, darting her eyes between the three of them.

“I’m talking to you. Show...the...power...again.” He said again.

His aura was so strong that Stacey shook in fear. She closed her eyes tight as he finally reached her, flashes of her memory appearing in her brain again.

“I need to speak to my father! I want to speak to him! I can still rectify this!”  She said out loud.

“What’s wrong with her?” The highness said as she opened her eyes.

“Where’s my father?” She asked.

“Do…not…come…near…me!” She shouted at the man with the needle again.

“Can someone in the room tell me what’s going on!” The highness yelled out, startling her as she jolted back.

She couldn’t remember anything. She had said those words to the man called her father, or the man she had called father. What was she rectifying? What did she do? She glanced at her body to see scars and injuries on the visible part, making her more confused than she could ever be. Who did this to her?

“She doesn’t remember anything, your highness.”

Her head snapped up as she heard that, her eyes almost popping out of her sockets, “what…what..what did you just say?”

“Who are you?” She turned to the man with the bold aura.

“My name is Stacey.”

“Your parents?”

“My mother is dead..” she found herself saying.

She furrowed her brows after that, how did she know that?

“And your father?” She heard him ask again.

She clenched her eyes as she tried to remember her father. There was nothing about him, just instances where she had yelled ‘father’ or was pleading to ‘father’.

“I…I…can’t…remember..” she stuttered and slid back inside the bed.

“Your highness, may I have a word with you?”

Stacey could feel his gaze on her, and she turned to look at him, noticing how he looked at her in disbelief.

“Why is she not doing anything! I want to see it again! I want to see the..” he yelled out in fury all of a sudden.

“Your highness…”

“Get her up!”

“Your…”

“I said, '' Get her up!” He ordered.

He stood up from the bed and walked towards the door, running his hand through his sleek black hair.

“Your highness, I believe this is an opportunity for us. She possesses the power of the thousand myths, and she doesn’t even know anyone. If you accept her as your mate, and bring her closer to you. It would be a great deal for the pack.”

Lucien Malskolvi, Alpha of the Blood Moon pack, the man of powers, and the head of all devils as each pack saw him to be. He gritted his teeth in annoyance. If not for the flash of the great power that she showed, there was nothing he needed of a weak wolf like her.

“Warm up to her, just for a while. Once we’re done with her, there would be no need to deal with her anymore.” the woman holding Stacey hand before said.

“Have you checked what I asked for?” Lucien asked.

“Yes. The power comes up every full moon.”

“But it wasn’t..

“With ancient history, I think she has the capability of possessing both the moon goddess powers and the thousand myths.” The woman replied.

Lucien gritted his teeth, turning back with a full smile as he walked back to the bed. With her power and her by his side, he could conquer the whole packs and dominate them, giving him the title of Alpha of all Alphas.

“Stacey…” he called out before sitting at the edge of her bed.

She looked up at him, a skeptical expression flashing through her eyes. His palm touched her skin lightly, stretching out the smile on his face,

“Welcome to the blood moon pack.”

“How did I get here?” She asked as he glanced at the woman.

“I brought you here, and you’re alive thanks to the two of them.”

“And who are you?” Stacey questioned with a raise of her brow.

A smirk tugged the corners of his lips down, his eyes roaming around her face.

“Lucien… Lucien Malskolvi, Alpha of this pack and your rightful mate.”
