I could feel everyone's eyes on me. My body ached badly from their non-stop gazing. It felt like they were throwing darts at me, sinking them into my flesh one by one, slowly. Their whispering was even worse. It felt like maggots were tormenting my ears, slowly eating away my flesh from the inside. I couldn't take it anymore. I turned around and hurriedly returned home, not bothering to purchase anything. "You're home already," my mother said, with a surprised look on her face when I entered the house. I sat beside her on the couch in the living room and sadly rested my head on my chest. "Why are you so sad and where are the goods you went to purchase?" my mother asked me. "I couldn't," I told her, as I raised my eyes to her. "Everyone was staring and whispering about me. I couldn't take it anymore." "I'm so sorry Bella; things will be better when the Moon Goddess remembers to give you a mate." "I'm tired of hearing this from you, mom. I'm twenty-four and still I'm unlucky to
I took a step backward, not wanting to be a part of any plan she had for me. "We can send her away now before the Alpha sees her," the worker told the Luna. "That would be easier than what I have in mind," Luna Trina responded. I again swallowed as I tried to visualize what the heck she had in mind. "Send for the guard now to take her away before my mate returns," Luna Trina ordered the maid. As her worker was about to leave the room, the door suddenly opened and the dangerous and handsome Alpha entered the room and closed the door behind him. I stared at him. I didn't want to stop looking at him. His attractive appearance was like drugs to my eyes. He looked like a beautiful rose, but a deadly one if you should touch it. The Alpha had light brown eyes that looked like they were glowing and long dark brown hair that hung below his strong shoulders. He was very tall and well built. His body was like an indestructible machine. I carefully gazed at him, watching his every move as h
Luna Trina Bloode-Wolffinton stared at me. In her green eyes, I could see she was not pleased with what was happening between me and her alpha mate. Soon her stare slowly went to her mate, Alpha Maximus. He turned around to face her. He walked away from me and over to his Luna and gracefully lowered his lips to her forehead. He then left the room, leaving his Luna to scold me. "What were you and my mate doing?" Luna Trina angrily asked as she came over to me. "Nothing Your Luna," I answered her as I lowered my head. "He was about to kiss me, but you came right in time," I told her the truth. "Raise your head, concubine," she demanded, pissed. "Have you ever been kissed before?" Luna Trina asked me. "No, Your Luna," I answered her. "Well, it's good that I stopped him before he could kiss you. I'm not going to make you sleep in here tonight until, hopefully, you're devirginized by his brother, that's if he agrees," she said. I sadly lowered my head, thinking of what she wanted me
I walked slowly over to the bed and sat down, still being able to see my reflection in the mirror. I was like a beautiful red rose. A rare rose hidden within a secret garden and kept only for the eyes of the owner. I did not like it. It pained me that I had no choice but to be the Alpha's concubine and I could never see my beloved mom again. I missed her. I could not even dress myself the way I wanted to. I wanted to end my life, but I could never do such a thing. I loved my mom very much and I did not want to hurt her, giving her terrible unbearable pain to discover that her only child took her life. I would just have to do my time here until the Alpha was tired of me, which I hoped he would do very soon. "You don't have to stay in your room all day," I heard Natasha say as she put away the clothes in the closet. "You can walk around the large home; just make sure you're in the room whenever the Alpha wants you." Hearing what she had said was great news to my ears. I could esca
"Iron Claw pack will forever be victorious!" Zeta Marcel shouted. The powerful leader of the fighters, he was the one who oversaw all of the wars that were fought in the kingdom. "Yes!" everyone shouted. "Let this evening be a time of enjoyment!" Marcel again yelled. "Eat, drink and have as many she-wolves as you want, for you all earned this!" he yelled. Everyone again shouted and obeyed him. They drank, ate, and talked happily while others grabbed she-wolves and took them away. Zeta Marcel took a seat beside the thrones of his brother and the Luna. As he sat, he turned to look at me. I nervously got up and looked away, from his dark, cold eyes and handsome face. "I don't feel so good," I told Natasha. "What is wrong?" she asked me, worried. I swallowed hard before answering her. "I need to lie down right now," I told her. "Okay, let me follow you," Natasha said worriedly. "No, I can go on my own," I told her. "Okay, I'll tell the Luna that you're not feeling well, if she
"Ha!" I screamed and jumped off the bed. I huddled against the wall of the room, scared, and still like I was frozen, staring at him. Marcel Wolffinton's eyes were darker than the night and were so powerful that I felt like they were pulling me inside like a black hole to a place no one knew of but he. He sat so confidently on the bed like a god who knew there was no one above him. His hair was as dark as his eyes, darker than the night without the company of the moon. It was the darkest I'd ever seen anything that it terrified me. He didn't seem like a normal wolf. If there were ever a moon God, I'd say it was he who sat before me. "You lay comfortably in my bed without my permission but refuse to reveal your face," he said, his voice thunderous as he slowly got off the bed. The mattress slowly rose as his weight left it, his long beautiful silky hair dancing against his shiny armor. "No," I said quickly and shook my head. "No, you still refuse to show me your face," he again spo
"Another unwelcome guest," Marcel Wolffinton said with his rough voice as Luna Trina gently closed the door behind her. She stared suspiciously at him, then at me, who was opposite her, at her right. I bowed my head. She raised her hand instructing me to raise my head, before turning to face the powerful Zeta warrior. "I'm sorry; I should have told you about her," Luna Trina apologized to Marcel in her beautiful voice that sounded as sweet as honey. I lowered my head, sad, knowing what Luna Trina was going to tell him. Tears slowly filled my eyes. I blinked them away, not wanting to cry. I hated what the Luna wanted Marcel to do to me. I didn't know him, nor did he know me. What she wanted to do was wrong. I wish she would cancel her evil plan and just send me home. "Tell me what?" Marcel questioned her. Luna Trina gracefully and quickly walked over to him and stood very close. Her green eyes stared into his dark eyes as she slowly moved her hand to his hard chest. I watched her a
Marcel Wolffinton was close to the bed. I could feel his powerful presence next to me. At that moment I felt like my heart stopped. My teeth moved from my bottom lip and my hands sunk into the sheet at each side, grabbing it. I held it so tightly that my hand began to feel like it was burning. Marcel sat at my right side, causing the bed to sink. My eyes twitched and I couldn't help but open them and turn to my right to look at him, even though I was told not to. The moment my ocean eyes went to one of his strong hands, his left hand that was so muscular that it was bursting with veins, my head turned away from him right away and my eyes again closed. I was worried as hell about what was going to happen between us. I thought that if I continued to close my eyes it would help me to get through the awful ordeal that the Luna had planned but doing that wasn't helping. I couldn't continue to keep my eyes closed any longer. I opened my eyes and took another look at the mighty warrior besid
