MORDAX'S POV"Go in that room and fuck the living daylight out of that tattooed Alpha so he can come back here for good business, you hear me you human slut?" "Yes madame." "That must be her, madame. But why did she go back to that awful place?"My wolf growled in anger as I made up my decision.----------I used my supernatural speed and ran to the royal bar, where I heard Kitana's voice coming from. It didn't take long before I reached there from the warriors' chambers.Everywhere smelled of Werewolf alcohol, and I wasn't even inside yet.The bar was a wooden, old, and dilapidated place. Even the poster was almost removed, but that didn't seem to stop people from coming here to get wasted.I used my predator instinct to observe inside the bar before I got in, and I couldn't sense anyone more powerful than me currently in the bar.But I could smell her, Kitana, and I stepped in with confidence.All eyes fell on me immediately when my scent reached their noses as I stepped in, and t
ESMERAY"I pronounce you Alpha and Luna; you may now kiss the bride!" It was the loveliest scene I had ever witnessed. They looked absolutely gorgeous together. Princess Natalie and Alpha Gustavo were the perfect mating bond that the Moon Goddess had ever formed."Now it's time to dance!" the best man echoed, and Natalie and Gustavo, the newlywed couple, made their way down the altar in grand style, with prelude music playing in the background.I took the opportunity to steal her for a moment. "Congratulations, sweetie! I'm so happy for you. But don't think that means I'm not jealous. Hold onto your alpha tightly, or I might just try desperately steal him for myself," I said, chuckling."Thank you so much, Esmeray. And as for stealing my husband, well... That's why I always carry this dagger with me." She stylishly revealed a dagger from under her wedding dress, surprising me. "I'll stab you before you go through with it," she added with a laugh.Whoa, she took the joke a bit too far,
ESMERAYIt was the early hours of a new day, and I had returned to my home at the palace. The bright sun rays entering my window gently caressed my skin, creating a beautiful morning ambiance."Lalalalala, Lalalalala... I am going to meet my mate soon. Lalalalaa, Lalalalala," I sang a tuneless song with sheer joy, dancing in the spacious part of my bedroom while dressed in my nightgown.The door opened, and Miriam, my personal maid and childhood friend, entered the room. I continued dancing, undeterred, as I was in such a happy mood."Well... Spill the beans, sister! Someone woke up happy!" Miriam chirped, watching me twirl.Before she could say another word, I grabbed her hands and twirled her with me."Miriam, it's been confirmed. My mate will find me today!" I exclaimed between giggles, twirling around the room while holding hands with her."Your mate will find you today? Where did you hear such, princess?" Miriam raised her eyebrows, smiling."Come!" I tugged her along with me to m
ESMERAYI watched as my father raised his right hand to signal orderliness in the chamber, and everyone became calm.Then afterward, he read the rules that must be followed in the battle of the Alphas on the other side of the wall.I stood beside my father, my arms wrapped around his, wondering who among these Alphas would come out victorious and claim me as his fated mate as my gaze circled the dozens of Alphas.Oh, how long I have longed to meet the one Alpha for me.I couldn't remember the exact day I started yearning for my mate like a breath of life. Although I knew my mother's beautiful story she told me every night when I was much younger about how my father claimed her had a hand in it.I was a bit anxious amidst more than 200 Alphas, and my mate is staring at me right now."What will my mate be thinking of me as he watches me stand right here?" The thought ran freely in my head.My curiosity about that question made me scream joyfully in my belly while I tried to control my e
ESMERAY"I have no interest in this mate nonsense. You are nothing more than a distraction. Do not get in my way, princess."As my wolf, Fox, howled mournfully, I felt a wave of sadness wash over me.My legs trembled, and I couldn't feel them anymore.It was a miracle that I still had the strength to stand on my own two feet after hearing those words from my mate. They crippled me from within.His rejection shattered the daydream I had been lost in, imagining us together, simply by locking eyes with his mesmerizing crystal green gaze.I wasn't sure if I had heard him correctly or if I simply couldn't accept the fact that my mate had rejected me without even getting to know me.We remained in the same position, but the only change was the transformation of the colorful smile on my face into a sorrowful expression.He refused to let go of my wrist even after those hurtful words he just spoke to me pierced through my wolf. Was he waiting for my response, or was he not finished rejecting
ESMERAY"Hope I'm not bothering the ladies," he said, a smirk now on his lips.It was Beta Leon of the Blue Rock Pack from the west side, and my heart sank."No, of course not. I was just about to leave," Miriam answered in one breath as she rushed out of the room, leaving me with a mischievous wink for some reason as she shut the door behind her.Leon's parents and mine were allies and good friends to the core.My father had met Leon's dad during the battle of the alphas, although they weren't from this kingdom. Ever since they met, their friendship grew stronger, and of course, it made sense for Leon and me, who were their children, to be close as well.The silence in my room persisted for a while before the handsome Beta standing by my bed broke it."Well, someone has been a crybaby," he said, chuckling as he approached to sit beside me on the bed."Get out." On a regular day, I wouldn't struggle to make that funny, although he chuckled at my words again."I would, but I can't miss
ESMERAYA firm hand grasped my waist, holding me tightly. The next thing I knew, I was in the arms of my Alpha, who was still naked. We stood there in silence as his captivating eyes gazed upon my frightened expression, soaked in tears."Hush, kitten," he finally broke the silence, lifting me from the ground and carrying me to his bed.I believed time stopped in that instant as his firm hands slowly caressed the side of my thighs, making me let out a soft moan in his hands.My Alpha was on top of me now on his bed as we locked gazes closely. I could swear to the goddess it was so magical; I couldn't believe he was the one who had rejected me earlier.My mind was lost in his now. There was tense silence rushing over us as we maintained the same position, and his face was devoid of any emotions, so I couldn't read his thoughts.Was my fated mate feeling the sparks I was feeling in that instant too? He wasn't inside me yet, but my defenses had already given up. I wanted my Alpha now.My h
ESMERAYThe first rays of the new dawn felt gentle on my skin through my window, as did the lingering troubles from last night.I took a deep breath and cupped my hands around my face, lazily lying in bed.My fingers tingled around my lips as memories of last night with my friend flashed through my mind, and I was overcome by a wave of surreal emotions.Just as I was lost in thought, the door to my room swung open, and Miriam entered with my breakfast, snapping me back to reality.This morning, I decided to have breakfast in bed because I didn't feel like going downstairs just yet. Plus, I wanted to avoid a certain someone who is probably at the dining table right now."Here's your meal, Esmeray," she said, placing it neatly on the bed and sitting beside me, her eyes fixed on me."What?" I asked, spooning some food into my mouth.She remained silent, rolling her eyes and propping her hands beneath her chin.I put down the spoon and crossed my arms over my chest, still in my nightwear.
