DANTE'S POV
"What is going on?" I said to myself as soon as I felt Aurelia's around my body.
My body went still, as I couldn't believe what was happening.
"Save me…" She repeated and my head snapped to look down at her.
"She can get close to me!" Those words rang in my head and mind.
"She is not affected by my aura." I said to myself, as my eyes shone.
I couldn't believe what was happening as it was a pain in the ass that no one could come a meter close to me.
My head snapped to look at my Beta, Lucas, at his words, "Get away from the Alpha." He yelled and a deep growl resounded from my chest.
Immediately after, Lucas marched toward me with an angry expression on his face. His eyes were set on Aurelia and he just wanted to get her away from me.
He looked surprised and shocked at the same time.
I couldn't blame him and as he stepped a meter close to me, in the next second, his eyes widened in pain and his legs shook and his head was bent, in obeisance to me.
"This is not happening." I said to myself as I watched Lucas whimper in pain. He was starting to sweat buckets, as Aurelia whimpered against my chest.
Lucas was affected by my powerful Alpha aura.
No one could step close to me and not get affected and I was greatly shocked because I still had Aurelia close to me.
"Get away from me." I yelled at Lucas not wanting him to be in pain for so long.
He knew what he was supposed to do and in the next second, he stepped away from and fell heavily to the ground.
On the other hand, Aurelia took a step away from me and unwound her hands.
"Ahhh…" She let out in an incoherent tone but I immediately caught onto her, as she looked frightened.
"Wait!" I said, realizing she thought I yelled at her instead of Lucas.
In the next second, she froze with her palms on either side of my body.
I looked deeply into her eyes as everything and everyone else was frozen.
I couldn't comprehend what she was and how she was able to get close to me.
My hand wound around her waist and immediately I drew her close to me.
"Hmmm…" She whined as our bodies were glued to each other. My fingers found their ways to her face and I held her chin up.
"Who the hell are you?" I asked, as I observed her.
I couldn't see anything special about her. I couldn't deny that she was cute but then she looked really ordinary.
On the other hand, my pack members had gone still, with their eyes widened.
No one dared to come close to me and I turned to look at them.
I could see the fear in their eyes toward me and the hate they had toward Aurelia.
I did not know so much about the girl in my arms but then I had heard her being called Aurelia.
"Alpha, you have to stay away from her." One of the male pack members shouted boldly while pointing at Aurelia.
His eyes were still red and his other was clenched.
He tried to stop himself from jumping at Aurelia.
My brows drew into a frown and I was about to ask my Beta to investigate what was going on but then before I could say anything, I was cut off.
"She's jinxed. You should throw her into the sea." Another pack member shouted and I felt Aurelia shake against me. His teeth chattered as he tried to suppress his desire for the girl in my arms.
I then bent my head to look at her only to find her looking up at me.
Her little hands found their way to my chest and she clutched onto my shirt.
My heart melted and I could see a tear drop from her left eye.
"What's going on here? Who is she?" I asked as my head snapped to look at my pack members. I did not want to look at Aurelia as her tears caused my heart to clench.
I was starting to feel a pull toward her but I did not want to think it was there.
"She's a stealer and a bane to the pack. She is just trying to warm her way to your bed." A male pack member said, with so much confidence.
His words caused Aurelia to shake her head violently.
Her hands shook as she continued to shake her head.
I knew she was trying to communicate something to me and I saw how innocent she looked.
I realized that she was just trying to get away from everyone that was holding onto her.
"Do you know me?" I asked her and she nodded frantically while looking up to me.
I could see that her eyes were in a daze as she looked up to me.
The look of admiration and attraction was evident in her eyes and I knew she felt the mate pull too.
Our bodies were still glued and I noticed goosebumps lining her skin as her nipples puckered against her thin dress.
My body was starting to heat up and I could feel my shaft harden.
I just wanted to have her in my arms but then why was she mute and why was she detested.
"You can't talk?" I asked her with a frown on my face.
"She's mute! She's fucking dumb." I heard someone shout and realization dawned on me.
I was suddenly filled with disgust toward her and immediately I pushed her away.
"Get away from me." I said, as I pushed her and immediately she fell to the ground with a loud thud.
"Hmmm…" She let out, her eyes showing how hurt she was.
She couldn't even express her feelings. How was she going to be my Luna? At that point, my resolve to reject her, strengthened.
"I don't want a mute for a mate!" I declared, shooting her a cold and distant look.
Immediately after I turned around without looking back but in the next second, I felt hands wound around my legs.
"Hmmm hmmm…" Aurelia let out incoherent words.
She did not want to let me go and she acted like I was her only support.
I wasn't ready to be one, though.
I did not need to do anything as in the next moment, the male pack members immediately rushed toward her.
They held onto her legs and dragged her away from me.
"Hmmm hmmm…" I heard her say as the distance between us lengthened.
I did not look back for once and I did not care what they did to her.
In the next second, guards with gas masks gathered around Aurelia and they immediately dragged the werewolves around her away.
They tried to maintain order and immediately they caught onto Aurelia.
"Nnooo…" She managed to let out and I knew she was calling onto me.
Even though I was far away from her now, I could still hear what she was saying due to my werewolf senses.
"Save…hmmm" She forced herself to say something as her hand clawed at the ground.
She wanted to live!
AURELIA'S POVI twisted and turned on the woody bed as I opened my eyes.My entire body hurts and I knew I was in an unfamiliar place considering the smell in the air and the atmosphere.It was very dark in here and it was as if the whole place had been deprived of light for a long ass time.In the next second, I sat up on the woody bed and looked around.I could see everything clearly and I gasped in great shock at what I saw."How did I get here?" I asked myself as my eyes roamed around, observing everyone that laid in the room.I woke up in the middle of people dressed in rags, sleeping on wooden beds."They are slaves!" These words resounded in my head as I held onto it."How did I get here?" I asked myself.I tried to comprehend who would hate me so much to turn me into a slave. My thoughts trailed back to what had happened at the plaza.I was able to say a word, just so the Alpha could come save me but then he looked back at me, with a calm look in his eyes.It felt like if I w
Dante's POVI watched how her eyes dimmed and then turned watery. What was this?"You guys can take her now," I said coldly as I leaned back on the chair. She quickly held my leg like she never wanted to let go of me.Of course, I shoved her hands away before she could do anything."Take her away," I said to the men who just entered the room. They nodded, picked and then turned to leave."Put her in a place different from where those slaves are," I said calmly, still sipping my drink.They nodded and then left, while she kept on banging their chest to let her go. I tried with all my might not to look at those teary eyes."Oh? You have gotten another one?" I heard Danciana's voice coming from the door and I didn't bother looking at her."Yes," I replied, coldly."I see. But mmm… well," She started sluggishly and I knew she was here for something."What do you want?" I asked."Oh? Nothing, nothing, much. I wanted to know if it was good of me to do some experiments? I have done a few res
Dante's POV"That came out wrong, Alpha. I hope all is well?" Lucas asked calmly after getting out from the shock."Everything is fine. But when it comes to what decisions I make, that is not what you should be worried about, Lucas. At least, there are tons of duties in the pack that need your attention. Remember that the people are watching us," I said, slowly to him as I closed the file I was going through.I saw how dim his eyes were when I mentioned the 'people'. He kept quiet for a while then said to me."I'll go check on the pack and warriors. You don't have to stress yourself too much. But, consider the people when making decisions. I'll take my leave now," He bowed slightly then turned to leave. I leaned back against my chair as I studied him. Just as his right hand held the knob the door opened by itself… perhaps by someone.And my attention was drawn to the person who stood there."Oh Lucas? I'm sorry," Danciana made way for him to pass but Lucas just snorted at her as he
Aurelia's POV'When will I get out of here?' I shook my head slightly as the temperature here was unbearably cold. I held my knees tightly to my chin level as I got lost in thoughts.If I can truly pass all the trails set by him and prove to him and his people that I can be their Luna. That would be so lovely.I held my chin happily as I felt them burning up.'Don't tell me I am blushing? Just the thought of me standing by him addressing his people as his Luna alone makes me excited!' I screamed inwardly as my back came into contact with the soft bed.I sighed heavily, staring at the white ceiling. It was quiet all around. Not even the familiar sounds of crickets were heard.With my clear vision I was able to see things around. I turned to face the wall as I kept on thinking about all the things that I will have to go through to make it up to him."Kekeke," I laughed mischievously but it came out foolishly to my ears.I rolled my eyes and was about to keep up with the fantastical thou
Aurelia's POVI stared at her dumbfounded by the revelation. What does she mean by that?"I don't really understand. What's going on?" I said to myself as I stared around. I noticed the various instruments around, even those I wasn't able to recognize.She left where I was and headed to a machine that looked like a scan."I found some virus in your system when you were unconscious and i think they have a hand to do with all of this," She replied as if she knew what was going through my mind.Virus? What virus was she talking about?"Is it contagious?" Fear was written all over my face as my lips parted hard to say those words bit by bit.A chuckle rang out then she turned to me."If it was really that contagious the lord would have been the first to contact it. Tell me…," She paused as she said this and my head tilted sideways in confusion.What does she want to ask from me? I thought inwardly as I kept on staring at her."What is it?" I asked. I felt a gush of cold wind brush against
Aurelia's POV"Why aren't you asking about your people? Aren't you curious to know if they come looking for you? Or if they missed you? Since you came here you have never shown any reluctance to leave. I wonder why it's so?" He threw hundreds of questions at me and I don't even know which one of them I should answer first.He shot me a look and a frown replaced his cold expression. He stared at the door and then at me."Aren't you coming in?" He asked, coldly. Subconsciously I flinched back and held the door.A smirk crossed his lips but that was all he didn't do anything.Why was I shivering? Am I that scared of him or what about what he said?My people came looking for me but why? Am I not the insignificant princess again? What more do they want from me?I let go of the door, took a deep breath and then strode inside the room with silent steps. I looked around and noticed the well furniture room.There was a shelf at the end of the room and the curtain was loose preventing the light
Alpha Dante's POV"What is to report all about?" I asked her immediately, I saw the fragile girl leaving.Danciana stared at me with an expressionless gaze."It's about one of the warriors in the pack. I noticed that he has been injured internally and it's affecting his inner beast," She kept the file on the desk and pushed it towards me while still maintaining eye contact.I ignored the look she gave me as I don't have the luxury to explain myself to people."How did this happen?" I asked her and she shook her head then said."Either one of the enemies during the last confrontation used a forbidden tool on him and that's why he has been like this for weeks now. I am afraid if we don't find out what tool was used on him. He is going to die," She stated calmly.My fist curled into a fist as I read the report. I took a deep breath and then fell into deep thoughts." What about Lucas?" I asked."Where is he and what is he doing concerning this matter?" I asked and she smiled."I've not
Alpha Dante's POV I stared at Aurelia, my voice tinged with a mix of amusement and superiority as I delivered the words I knew would sting. "Your mother doesn't want to see you again," I told her, a smirk playing on my lips. Aurelia's eyes met mine, a flicker of hurt and confusion passing through them before she shifted her attention to the book she held in her hands. She began writing in it, her pen swiftly gliding across the pages, as if seeking solace in the act of putting her thoughts into words. Her silence grated on my nerves, and I couldn't resist taunting her further. "So, you still want to go home, huh? Even if your mother doesn't want you?" I let out a loud, mocking laugh, relishing in the power I held over her emotions. It was satisfying to see her discomfort, to witness the cracks forming in her resolve. Curiosity got the better of me, and I leaned in closer, narrowing my eyes at her. "What do you think you'll find at home, Aurelia? A warm embrace? Love? Acceptance?" My
