Lupe's POV "Please!" My voice was shaky was I stared at the height from where we stood to teh ground. Gretel turned back with a smirk on her face, "Now look at that, the little bitch is scared." She laughed hysterically. My heart was beating heavily, I knew I could fall down to the ground and be fine after a few hours, but falling down that height might kill my pup. A risk I wasn't willing to take, even though I had to crawl on my knees in dirt to plead for her mercy, I would do it. Once, I had mistakenly fallen over a cliff high enough to take a person's life, I had gone on a self approved sight seeing while I was much younger. Mother was busy tending to her Luna duties. I spotted a trail that looked pleasant but it was out of bounds, filled with curiosity, I wandered into a land of adventure and death. The trail had flowers that a little girl my age would squeal over and try to make bunches with. Excitedly, I picked the ones I saw, hoping to make matching bouquets for my mom a
LUPE'S POV"Who else do you think is born under the purple moon?" I suddenly heard dad ask. “The sooner we hand her over, the less problem we are going to face. He is offering a lot. It seems like he is desperate. It scares me.” He yelled."Liar! You are being tempted by what he is offering. I don't care what this has on your reputation! But this is my daughter's life and future we're talking about here. My daughter is going nowhere and that’s final!" My mother growled.My ears perked up at her words. They were surely saying something concerning me. Although I have a step sister too, we do not share the same blood from either maternal side. Her mother was the alpha's mate whom I was told cheated on him with her former lover after giving birth to Kiera, my step sister. But the way she said it, it has to be me.They were glaring daggers at each other as I entered the living room. The moment I cleared my throat, they broke it off. "Who is not going anywhere?" I gave them both an unnerv
LUPE'S POV"Yes!" Leah, my wolf answered with so much excitement.I felt a mental connection to him instantly, my insides felt warm. A kind of comfort came over me just by seeing him. His face had a gentle, yet sharp edge to it. His eyes were deep brown, bringing to it a warmth that threatens to draw you in until you get lost in them. Dark, full eyebrows accentuated his face, lashes as long as that of a woman. His lips were full and dark pink in color. Unfamiliar sparks and an electric jolted me back to reality. My eyes widened as I saw that he was directly before me, and in fact, touched my head. The contact made me crave his touch more, the urge to lay in his thick arms for eternity, gripped me. My palm got clammy at how intense his gaze was on me. He leaned closer, "Hey, beauty." His deep, masculine voice met my ear. It was smooth as though he had nurtured the voice to make anyone drool over it."Hi." I mumbled lowly. I could barely recognize my own voice as it came out."I'm Beta
LUPE'S POVLaughter rippled out of my mouth as Garrett tickled my sides out of the blues. It's been two days since we met and it's safe to say that it has been blissful. He was given a suite in the pack house since he came to the pack on an official business pending the time that he was here.He'll still be here until we finish the mating ritual. It's traditional that it's performed in the female's pack, especially if she is one of the alpha's blood. Although Garrett now knows that I'm not the alpha’s biological daughter, he agreed that we do the ceremony here since my mother is Luna. I still find it hard to tell him about the Lycan king which I needed to do before the mating ceremony. I can't leave such important information out, it was even still fresh to be brushed aside, he deserves to know. The Lycan king niche had died down, Mom said the king wouldn’t want to take me as his breeder seeing as I've met my mate already. And I couldn’t wait until Garrett and I become one fully. Bo
LUPE’S POVIt was full moon and its pale light shined so bright for everyone to see clearly. Everyone was anticipating for the ceremony to be held. I peeped from time to time, checking if Garrett would seek in to see me before the ritual like agreed but, nothing.Honestly, I was stunned by the number of people who came for my mating ceremony. Might be because Garrett was a Beta. If just me, no one would have come to the mating ceremony because, I’m a mere omega but, they had no idea I wasn’t ordinary… a rare wolf.Mum later explained the reason I was considered a rare wolf. I never heard of the purple moon until of recent. Only a few, knows the legendary tales.However, I was dressed in an evening gown which had a low neckline to give Garrett easy access to marking me.Finally getting mated. But somehow, the mischievous smile Kiera gave me at noon, still made me feel unease. That they might have planned something up their sleeves. Something didn’t feel right.You'll be fine as soon a
LUPE’S POVHe instantly grabbed my face, putting pressure as he pressed on my lower jaw like he would crush it to pieces in a tighter squeeze.“You better behave.” And what followed next was a slap. I saw darkness with tiny shiny stars. It almost looked real until, it started to fade as the pain of the slap reduced. “You don’t talk to me in such a manner. Or do you have a death wish?” He asked with a raised brow.My anger were bubbling in my blood as I bit my lower lip, trying to suppress the urge to cry as tears welled up in my eyes, blurring my sight. No one has ever dared to slap me since I was the step daughter to the Alpha of my pack. “Let me go!” I muttered.Overlooking what I said, he took a few steps backwards and uttered with a mischievous smile, “You are beautiful. I hope that is how you are on the inside. The bastard of a mate hasn’t touched you, right? Guess he planned to do that tonight but, he I am to help him out on that.”My heart bleed knowing it was supposed to be my
LUPE'S POV"You are a beast!" I yelled, my voice quivering with rage and terror. My words kept lingering in the air, but the Lycan King literally ignored me. He was acting very calmly, as if he was the only breathing life in the room or maybe my defiance were only but a noise from a distant breeze.I sat at the extreme end of the bed, my body shaking not just in fear but to the fact that the sight of him was really disgusting. I held my arms tightly around my body, as if I was trying to protect the little pride left in me. I was too scared to dare to stand or try to make any rash movement. That very moment my mind was really racing with desperate thoughts."Lupe you can escape! Run! Just leave everything behind and run for your dear life."But even as those thoughts kept lingering in my head. I knew it was a very bad idea, clearly impossible. Even if I manage to sneak out of the room, there would be guards stationed at every angle of the house. I'm sure they are guards standing outsid
LUPE'S POV"Run! It's all on fire. Everything is burning to the ground," everywhere was on fire.I was startled awake by the screaming, but I didn't feel like I had actually woken up. My nose were overwhelmed with the pungent smell of smoke, and my ears were filled with people's frantic screams. Flames licked at the sky as I staggered forward, my feet crunching on the charred ground. Everywhere around me was hot and it seemed like the whole world was on fire. Cries and shouts radiated from all directions, combining to create an overwhelming clamor. Some wolves in human form were pulling others who were barely able to keep up as they rushed by me, their fur burning as they ran in utter despair. The pack village I had known my whole life was turning to ash, and children were screaming for their moms. It was an unbearable sight.My pulse was racing as I spun around in panic, trying to figure out what was going on. With every second that went by, the flames grew louder, mercilessly consu

Gretel's POV "What the fuck do you mean you can't find her?!" I screamed jabbing my palms against the bulging chest of the guard before me. "I'm sorry my lady." He bowed his head. "Tell me exactly what happened." I demanded."The guards took the maids to the main hall to check their health sta-" I interrupted him with a slap, "I fucking now that already!" He grimaced in pain, "My apologies." I couldn't help but release a strangled scoff as I stared into the cold dark night. Sebastian can shove his feelings up his behind, I needed to teach Lupe how to know her place and stick to him. For some days, I couldn't take my mind off her confession in the woods in the night of the full moon. She must've thought that she had a place in his life, she must be crazy to think that the dignified Lycan King would stoop so low to her level just because of some worthless fate. The night air was chilly but I didn't care about the cold. All I wanted to do was to deal with that bitch then I will f
Adrian's pov."What can I do for you Alpha Alex?" I asked as I walked towards my chair in the waiting room. He got up to his feet in reverence as soon as he heard my voice. "Alpha King. Greetings my Lord." He bowed. "Have your seat." I gestured towards the chair that was behind him. "Thank you Alpha." He settled into the chair."For some days now, I kept receiving reports of sightings of rogues at the boundaries of my pack." My fist grabbed the arm of my chair but I tried not to show any emotions. "Unable to keep calm at their frequent spottings, I decided to pay a visit to the outskirts of the pack. That was why I sent my Luna over to ensure her safety if it turned out to be a cover for their plans." He said.I didn't want to admit that I was pleased with his care for her and the action he took to ensure that she was not exposed to danger. "What did you find out?" I asked knowing be was heading somewhere. Alex sighed, "while I was there, I ran into your Beta." My grip tightene
Lupe's POV Fiona grinned, her white teeth in full display."Let's dress up to while away time." She said pulling me to her dressing table. "I think this will be so much funnnn!" I squealed and she laughed."I know it will be fun." She corrected pulling my hair up. "You have such rich and full hair, what's the secret?" She asked tying it up with a peach coloured ribbon. "My mother." I replied in a soft voice. Fiona was silent, she worked as I talked. "She has such long hair too, it's silky and dark." I was smiling as I went down memory lane. "The women in our pack were all jealous of her hair, it reached down her waist, I spent my childhood braiding and unbraiding them, she was my playmate, I never grew up with a sibling, but having her as my mom was enough." "She's a nice woman." Fiona said calmly. "Yes." I agreed with a chuckle. "There was a time I ended up tying her hair into knots all in the name of braiding, she didn't hit me or even snap, instead she wore it proudly ignor
Lupe's POV As usual, I was working in the kitchen with the only maids when a young girl who served Luna Fiona walked in timidly."Hey kid, what are you doing here?" Mira asked stalking towards the girl. The little girl moved back in fright, "The Luna sent me." She muttered."Luna?" Mira scoffed, "the last I checked, we have no Luna." The young girl moved back obviously intimidated. "Scram away before I send you fly with my palm." Mira snapped at the girl who bite back her tears. "Stop it!" I snapped at Mira, my tone shocking everyone including myself. "And who do you think you are to speak to me in that manner?" Mira asked frowning. "Silence! Assemble in the general meeting room, the Royal physician is here for the annual check up of the King's maids." A guard shouted standing by the door.My heart stopped. I'm doomed. All the maids tensed, they were obviously not expecting this. "Did you still do it with Harry?" A hushed voice asked. "I did, but I'm not pregnant right?" An
Lupe's pov"You're with a child right?" Her eyes were fixed on mine, pinning me down with her gaze. I swallowed hard. I did my best to conceal it, I tried overcoming my cravings, I made sure to swallow the bile that always rose up my throat at intervals, I did everything I could just to hide this but to what use? I've been caught by no other but the King's sister. An unexpected chuckle escaped me, I masked my fear with a mixture of disbelief and amusement. "What are you saying?" I laughed holding my stomach. This was totally ridiculous, she watched me laugh without saying a word. Her arms folded in akimbo. "How can that happen?" I swallowed giving her a light shove, "I don't know where and how you got to hear that ridiculous rumour, but I can assure you, that's not true." The lie felt like acid on my tongue.She remained silent watching me. "I'm not joking, I am really not pregnant." I said feeling stupid for my own outburst.It felt horrible to deny the existence of your child,
Lupe's POV I woke up feeling tired as usual, my breasts felt sore and heavier than usual. "I wonder if it's alright." I said to Leah. "I think it is." She replied. "It feels weird right?" I asked with a small chuckle. "It does." I laid on the bed staring at the ceiling, my stomach churned, I needed food. Managing to push myself up, I walked to the window, it was still dark. It wasn't time for our chores yet but my stomach was crying loudly for food."What do we do now Leah?" I asked pacing around the room."What else? If it needs food, we'll feed it!" She replied. "I don't want to get caught, I can't afford to let the King finds out about this baby." I said wrapping my hands around myself. "He won't, hurry now before the maids starts waking up." She said with an air of urgency.As if in agreement, my stomach released a loud noise. I patted it with a smile, "Don't worry, I will get you something really nice." I smiled hurrying to the kitchen.The guards were patrolling by the
Fiona's POV Instantly, his face changed. He dropped the glass back on the desk. "What about her?" He asked not looking directly at me. "Nothing much, I just noticed she looked more pretty these days." I said hoping to get a reaction but there was none. "What has that got to do with me?" He asked draining his glass before reaching for the bottle again. "I mean, you brought her to the palace to be your breeder, why not seize the opportunity to love her in the process?" I asked. He turned to me with a look that would make even Cenat piss in his pants but that didn't scare me. I went on, "what harm will it bring if you love the mother of your pup?" I asked, "if you ask me, I think it's a win win." I added not waiting for his reply. "Did she put you up to this?" His voice was hard. "What?!" My head jerked up instantly to glare at him, "No! Lupe will never." I added in a sharp tone. "Then why are you here?" He asked. "Alex wrote ahead but why are you here telling me all of these?"
Adrian's POV "Send the troops into the woods, tell them to do a thorough search. They must search every nook and cranny including the mountains." I said to Cenat. We were on our way back from an evening stroll. It was just a stroll in disguise, we had done a search in the streets for any rogues amongst the residents. Thankfully, we found none but I couldn't help but feel uneasy. "Yes my Lord." He replied. "I think you should go with them." I said turning to Beta Cenat. "Will you be alright on your own?" He asked. "Yes, I don't trust anyone but you, the royal commander seem a bit too shady." I frowned wondering why I haven't had him investigated before now. Beta Cenat frowned, "Did he do something?" He asked. I shook my head, "No, maybe not yet." "I will have my men keep an eye on him." He replied. "Will you be alright leaving your home for some time? I think the search will take days." I said."This isn't my first official assignment outside the pack my King." Cenat said wit
