My heart was pounding in my chest when the trunk opened, and I shut my eyes, trying to tame my heartbeat. The scent of that alpha invaded my nose. I didn't know how I recognized it, but I did. It was enticing to me, and I inhaled deeply. "Is she dead?" I heard a soft feminine voice ask. "No," that voice sounded familiar, it belonged to the alpha, it was low yet dominating, and oozed power, it sent trembles down my spine. "How did she get in our trunk?" "Should we take her back?" My eyes immediately shot open at the mention of taking me back, and two cold blue ones were staring right at me. His unwavering gaze despite being cold did something funny to me, and my cheeks reddened. Had any man looked so beautiful? I thought. I watched as his chest rose and fell, my heartbeat skyrocketed once again as we watched each other intensely. " Take my hand, darling," I tore my gaze from the alpha when the female with honey-colored skin and beautiful curly hair extended her hand towards me, helping me out of the trunk. She wiped my hands with a white towel. "Thank you," I whispered. "Why were you sleeping in the trunk?" she asked, her friendly face made me feel alleviation. "I didn't know what else to do. I don't know the roads that lead to the nearest train station," I admitted, looking at my hand. "Kid, are you going home? If you wanted a ride, you could have just asked?" the man I met at the mansion earlier said. "No, I'm running away from home," I told him. "Obviously," the god-like alpha gritted his teeth. " But why?" "My family wants me to marry an old man for money," A growl resounded from the alpha, and his companions looked at him. They were silent for a while. I heard that pack wolves can talk telepathically. They call it a mind link. They must be doing that now. "How old are you?" The pretty lady asked. "I'm seventeen years old," "She's a child," My eyes locked with the alpha, his smoldering gaze still left me in amazement, and my eyes landed right on his attractive lips, and a small smirk appeared when he noticed my drooling. I shied away, my cheeks reddening. "I'm Ella, that is Beta Nathaniel, but we call him Nate, and Mr. Grumpy over there is my cousin Alpha Prince Rhaegar," Ella said with a smile. My eyes widen at that last title, I heard of the alpha Prince of the werewolf race. He was an intimidating man and the mere mention of him made people whimper in fear. He was the strongest wolf! I couldn't believe he defended me earlier, no wonder everyone acted in such a way at the mansion. I didn't know how to act around them now. These were powerful wolves of the domain, I was nowhere near their level! "And what's your name, Kid?" Beta Nate asked. I was surprised by the gentleness in his tone despite the stories of how inhumane the alpha Prince's beta was. "N- Nayla Martin," a tremble followed my words. "Lovely name. It suits you," Ella said gently. She looked back to Rhaegar and asked, "What should we do about her?" "Nothing," I answered quickly, " I am going to the station. I want to leave this place and stay with the humans," Prince Rhaegar scoffed, and I glanced at him. He was once again mind-linking with Beta Nate. Could he talk to me directly? No! it was probably for the best because when he does, my stomach flutters, and I feel weak. "Do you have anywhere in particular to go?" Beta Nate asked, and I froze. I didn't think so far ahead when I left. I knew humans lived in large cities. "I'll decide later," "Kid, I can tell you haven't shifted in your wolf yet, and living with humans can be much more difficult than you think. You need to plan properly and how to earn a living," Nate informed me. "Oh," "Do you even have money?" Ella asked, and I showed her my small fluffy purse. "300 dollars," "Oh, she's pathetic," The Alpha prince exhaled, touching his temple as though he had a headache. "She can stay at the pack as she plans, can she not, Rhaegar?" Ella asked enthusiastically. Her eyes were hopeful, and shimmering like a child's. "You want me to bring a rogue to the pack, and endanger our people, Ella," Rhaegar said, glancing at me. "Just look at her. Does that face look like it can hurt anyone?" Ella pouted, gripping my chin gently so that Prince Rhaegar could look at me, however, he couldn't for some reason, ignoring my puppy eyes. At that moment, he didn't look so threatening, just a man. A GORGEOUS MAN "We can't let her wander alone. She will get herself killed," Beta Nate reasoned. "I can do anything you want," I said, maybe cooking or cleaning for them. For now, what was important to me was a safe roof over my head. Prince Rhaegar finally looked at me, intently this time. His gaze made me burn, and tingles erupted on my skin. How intense was he? and why was I feeling this way for him? " Tame yourself, and wolf when you get one," The Alpha prince said, and Ella squealed in happiness, hugging me. "I will, thank you," I smiled. We entered the fancy black car. Beta Nate opened the door for me. I slowly got in, looking around. I don't think I'd been in such a car before. I caught the Prince's curious gaze on me. I couldn't look at him so I shifted my eyes to my lap but closed them when I realized I was wearing such a short dress. "Give her something to cover her legs," Prince Rhaegar said, staring out the window. He clenched his fists and was breathing heavily. Was he unwell?Rhaegar's Pov
Everything about my mate made me burn instantly. I stared at her again, unable to process this. How could she be? She was a child! A weak rogue who couldn't even heal properly, how could the goddess pair me with her? It had to be a mistake. 'No, It's not,' Rega answered, he was excited we were taking her home. He hoped in time, with the bond's help, I'd accept her. Nalya moved and laid her head on my arm. She was whimpering in her sleep. Her tempting autumn scent enveloped my senses. I pushed her from me. She hit her head against the car door and winced. "Rhaegar! Be kind," Nate said, and Ella glared at me. I didn't intend to push her so hard. Nalya stirred and opened her eyes, touching her temple. "I'm sorry," she said softly, wiping her lips and sitting straight. I received text messages from Juliana. We've been good friends since we were kids, and I decided to make her my Luna as she always wanted. 'You have a mate now, so Juliana can't be the Luna,' Rega didn't see things as I did. No one would accept a rogue as their leader so we'll be saving her from pain. Juliana was the perfect candidate. She was strong, kind, and compassionate; everyone in the pack loved and respected her. I texted her back, telling her we were bringing a rogue to stay at the pack house for a while. She was okay with it and was happy we helped a rogue. "Wow!" a gasp escaped Nalya's lips. She was looking at the buildings in wonder. "Welcome to the Autumn Moon Pack, the largest and strongest pack in the world," Ella told her, looking proud. "It's so... beautiful," Nalya whispered, and I beamed inwardly. Indeed, my pack was the most developed. We had huge malls, modern technology, and an impressive town away from the pack house and members' houses. "Should we stop at a restaurant to eat before going to the pack house?" Nate asked, and I nodded. Nalya's stomach had been growling since she got in. He stopped in front of our favorite restaurant, All Seasons. The revolving glass doors seemed to amuse and scare Nalya. Did she ever leave her house? The rogues weren't as comfortable as us, but it wasn't shabby. We went in only to realize she wasn't by our side. "Oh, lords," I groaned. She was standing outside, looking nervous. "Go get her, Rhaegar," "Why me?" "You're closer," Nate answered. Nalya was still looking around when I grabbed her hand. I regretted it immediately as pleasant tingles traveled down my arm. She didn't feel them yet. The staff escorted us to our table, and Nalya sat next to me. I don't think she realized it. "What do you want to eat?" Nate asked her, pointing at the menu. She shrugged her shoulders. "Anything," she answered quietly, not looking at him. "They have rare and expensive food here. Choose whatever you want, and don't worry about money. Rhaegar and Nate have so much of it," Ella told her, smiling at us. We all picked our food, except Nalya. She was still browsing through the menu. "Nalya, have you picked?" Ella asked, "I don't know anything here," she bit her lips, blushing. My breath caught in my chest. She was fucking gorgeous. "You can have the Kobe Beef. It's good, and they import the meat from Japan," Nate told her, and she nodded. "So, do you have any hobbies, Nalya?" Ella asked. She waited for a long time before she answered. "I play the flute. Does that count as a hobby?" Ella was most happy to hear this as it was her favorite instrument to play, however, she was not good at it. She asked Nalya so many questions, and the girl answered them confidently. I could tell that it was something she enjoyed. "Who taught you how to play?" Nate asked. She squinted her eyes in thought for a second. "I mostly learned it by myself. I was dedicated, and in eighth grade, my father got me a teacher," "That's wonderful. You must be good," cheered Ella. "Some people and teachers say so," she was a bit embarrassed, looking down at her lap. Why was she embarrassed? It was impressive. Our food came, and everyone ate. Ella told the lovely rogue wolf about the pack. She wasn't adding much, just nodding her pretty head. "The southeastern part is perfect for wolves as forest and mountains surround it. The pack has been here since the medieval," Nalya looked at me before she drank her water, I watched her gulp, and immoral thoughts rushed to my mind. I exhaled, taming myself. I needed to relax. After our dinner, they served dessert, and Nalya's eyes lit up in excitement before eating. "Do you like ice cream?" Nate smiled. Why was he so friendly? ' Call me Nate, please,' he said earlier to my mate. I scoffed and glared at him. "Yes, it's nice," she mumbled her words shyly. "You've had ice cream before, right?" Ella asked quizically. "Yes, just not this kind," she answered as she ate. I noticed the faint bruises on her arm now that she wasn't wearing her dark cloak to cover her, and my wolf growled. "Who did that to you?" I asked. I could feel my hands shaking again. I was fucking losing control. My eyes scanned her face, pausing at her lips before inhaling. Calm down, Rhaegar." Who. the. fuck. hurt. you," I asked her slowly, looking into her eyes.
Rhaegar "I fell," she replied quietly, her look suddenly somber. 'She's lying,' "Don't lie to me," I growled. Was she defending who harmed her? Why? Were they close? I was getting angrier, yet the desire to cradle her and keep her safe in my arms was overtaking my senses. Fuck the matebond! Nalya looked scared now, and tears welled in her eyes. "Rhaegar, you're scaring her!" Ella hissed. I snapped out of my daze and inhaled. "Who did that to you?" I asked calmly. "The man I was supposed to marry held me tightly a few hours before I escaped," she said. I was boiling with anger. I needed to punch something. I gripped the side of the table so tightly, "Name," I gritted. He was part of Arlon William's rogues, and I intended to find and kill him. "I don't know his name," she answered, I glared at her, and looked away, not wanting to scare her more than I'd already done. Nalya was still lying to me. My wolf almost snapped but I held him back. "Let's not force her to talk about
Nalya"How disappointing," he said, almost turning to walk away."Oh, can you point me to the head staff office," I said."It is on the left - you know what, you'll get lost. I'll take you there.""So you're the rogue who's been causing a buzz through the link since last night," he mused, looking at me."I don't understand,""Forget it, I'm Roman, but you can call me Roma. What's your name?" he asked. I swallowed and answered."Nalya,""That's an uncommon name," he said.We reached Madam Royce's office, and I turned to Roma."Thank you,""You're welcome. See you around, Nalya!"I knocked on the door. I heard a faint come in and pushed the door open."Hi, how may I help you?" The middle-aged woman asked, looking at me through her small eyes."I was sent here by Miss Juliana to work," I said politely and clearly."I don't have work for you. I have so many staff members already.""I won't be getting paid, so it's free," I said."No one works for free around here," she chuckled."I'm not f
NalyaI took steps towards the high table. Ella and Nate smiled at me while the Prince's gaze was relentless. Next to him, Juliana was glaring at me. I could tell she disliked me. I didn't know the others, however, they were just as intimidating."So, this is the rogue," A man said, the corner of his lips curling into a smile."Keep your dirty claws away from her, Kendrick," Ella warned. Kendrick winked at me, and I gasped."Why don't you eat with us," Ella said. Before I could reject her offer, Juliana did it for me."No, Hellen, she's not one of us, and it's improper," she tried to sound calm, but the vein on her temple told me she wasn't."No, Ella. Please excuse me," I bowed and left the room in haste, but it wasn't my day today. I tripped and almost fell, but someone caught me. I slowly locked eyes with my savior. He was tall with brown hair and sharp features."Hello, there," his voice was a breathless whisper."I'm so sorry," I said, standing up straight."It's alright," he care
Nalya Like the previous day, I woke up early in the morning. The head cleaning staff had already given us our equipment. I was told that the Alpha wakes up early to go to training, so his room would be empty. I went there and opened the door. Everything in the bedroom was untidy. Bottles of beer are scattered on the floor. I cleaned the ensuite bathroom. There was a golden tub in the middle of the bathroom. I cleaned thoroughly before going to the bedroom but what I saw shocked me; Prince Rhaegar was in bed with a woman who wasn't Juliana. I tried to leave discreetly but failed as I made a sound. They jolted awake and sat up, their upper torso uncovered. "Who is she?" the woman in bed asked. "No one," he said, looking irritable, and my heart constricted painfully. "I'm sorry. I'll come back to clean later," I said. "No, stay," the woman ordered. My eyes traveled to Prince Rhaegar. He got up from the bed, only wearing black boxers, and my eyes trailed on his muscular body. His bo
Nalya I have been in this pack for a week now, and although some girls like Bithia and Uria have been assholes to me and pushed me around, I did not engage with them. Azura told me they were jealous, but I didn't see why. They had everything finer in life, and I was nothing. I spent most of my free time with Roma, he was so fun, and I found myself smiling a lot more when I was with him. "You may take this now," the chef said. I carried the tray of croissants. They smelled so good. We quickly finished serving, and I was in a hurry to leave the hall, but Bithia and Uria cornered me, "May I help you?" I asked. They stared at each other, mind-linking before Uria moved away; "No, Rogue," I was about to leave when she tripped me with her foot. I fell to the ground, and Bithia 'accidentally' spilled her iced coffee over my hair. "Oops, sorry," The surrounding girls laughed while others looked sad for me. "Be more careful," she barked. I stood up when she pushed me. This time, I
RhaegarAfter breakfast, I didn't go to the office immediately. I followed Nalya's scent to the laundry room. She was sitting and reading. Whatever she was reading was dirty because she was red and hot. I could smell her arousal, and my dick hardened in my pants. She stopped and raised her head, looking around, but I hid in the corner before she could see me. I went behind her, trying to see what she was reading, and indeed, it was an intense sex scene. I wondered many things at that moment. Has she done it before? If yes, with whom? I clutched my fist with jealousy. "That's naughty," I said, and she jumped out of her seat. She was easily startled. "Prince Rhaegar," she bowed. "That looks like an interesting book. What is it?" I asked. She blushed and tried to hide the book in one of the laundry baskets. "I- I just found it here and started to read it," she stuttered. She was seriously so damn gorgeous when she was nervous. "What is the title," I extended my hand towards her, and
Nalya He scoffed; "Oh, you'd love that, wouldn't you? You want every man's attention on you!" "I- No!" "You look so innocent and timid, but you're no better than the attention-seeking girls who use their beauty to get men," "Stop saying that... Y- you're hurting my feelings," "Just leave me alone, and don't follow me anymore," he said. Tears welled in my eyes, and a lump formed in my throat. Why would he say that? I stood up and ran to my room, crying. The only friend I had hated me, and I didn't know why. I fell asleep. I woke up late at night. I got out of bed and opened the door. Loud music was playing outside. The party had already started, and everyone was drinking and having fun. I was still scanning the area when someone hugged me from behind. I turned around to find Azura. "Hello!" Azura looked drunk already. "The party started hours ago, I came to find you in your room, but you were sleeping like a baby," she slurred, pinching my cheeks. "I was tired," I sa
Nalya I tried to get more comfortable with his size, but it was painful. As he continued, the discomfort fled, and he thrust deeper, harder, and faster. I found myself moving my hips to follow his rhythm. "You are amazing," he whispered. It was discomforting but very good, so I focused on the goodness. Rhaegar unleashed in me, and we moved wildly. My moans and his groans melded as his cock pounded in me. The familiar sensation came stronger than before, and I didn't attempt to hold it back this time. With a few thrusts, Rhaegar stilled in me, groaning as something warm filled my insides. "Fuck, fuck," he muttered, holding me tighter. I was trembling, trying to regain my senses, and Prince Rhaegar brushed his lips against mine. He rolled over me and held me in his arms. I breathed in his scent, ready to close my eyes, but he wasn't done with me. He abruptly flipped me on my stomach and entered me. I gripped the pillows tighter. "Oh yes," I breathed. We kept going all night
