“Who...who…” My throat felt dry as I stared at the....werewolf? But we didn’t look like this. I scrambled to sit up, but his furry arms bracketed me, caged me from moving. I clutched on the blanket tightly.
“Mine,” he repeated, voice grated. I averted my gaze from his golden ones. Fear and panic had rendered my mind blank and even Astrid didn’t respond. She merely whimpered when he nuzzled the crook of my neck, right where the scent gland was situated. I was sweating profusely while hoping for alpha Isaac’s arrival. The room was doused in darkness. The dim lights from outside filtered in but they barely did anything to illuminate the room even to the slightest.
“Please….leave,” I managed to say. But my feeble voice went unheard as his tongue swiped across the skin above the scent gland. To my horror, I felt a shiver run down my spine. He lowered his body slightly, enough that I could feel his erection press against my stomach.
“I am...I am alpha Isaac’s bride, you...you need to leave,” I said forcefully this time. Who lets this wolf in? Who was he? When he did not pay heed, my panic turned into anger. ‘Astrid, we need to do something.’ My skin prickled as one of his clawed fingers caressed the side of my breast. It dawned upon me, alleviating my horror that if I didn’t do anything, I might possibly be raped and no one would stop that, not even Astrid, as she was calm and silent. No one had stopped him from entering this room, either. With all my might, I shoved at his chest. I was by no way a weak wolf. I had alpha blood in me and I trained my wolf in secret. Those training yielded good results today as the wolf staggered back a little, falling back beside me. I rolled out of the bed and made my way to the door only to find that the damned door was locked and it wouldn’t budge.
“Where do you think you are going?” that raspy voice growled as he snaked his strong arm around my waist, pulling me flush against his chest. “Who are you?” I growled while trying to free myself from his hold. Adrenaline had subdued my fear and I hoped it would keep fueling my anger as well. I let my claws sink into the meat of his forearm. He hissed, loosening his grip momentarily.
I started rattling the door and banging on it. “Open the door.” At the back of my mind, I knew that probably no one would be coming to help or open the door, and yet I kept banging louder, ignoring the stinging in my fists.
“Defying your alpha isn’t allowed here.” My hand stopped mid-action. I belatedly realised that he hadn’t done anything else to me, nor had he stopped me from asking for help. I slowly turned around, my heart thumping in my chest and my breath hitched at the sight. Instead of the black wolf who had tried to force himself on me, stood a man, not a stitch of clothes on him. My gaze carefully skated around his...private parts as I took in his form. I swallowed dryly.
His honeyed gaze met mine, a smirk played on his lips. “Weren’t you waiting for alpha Isaac? Well, here I am.” He spread his arms as he retorted. My back hit the door with a light thump as I stared at the man in disbelief.
“Why...why were you..”
“In the wolf form? I am in a rut and I can’t stay in this form for long. Just to quell your doubt, I transformed.” Saying this, he changed back again, right in front of my eyes. I gasped again.
“Come to bed,” he commanded. My skin prickled at that. He prowled towards me, until he had invaded my personal space while I stood there, numb. “Come to bed so that we can bond. So that I can make you mine. You are here for that, aren’t you? The sacrifice for the sake of peace. Fulfil that role then.” His words had degrading implications, but they were true, weren’t they. I knew this was what it would lead to. I was to be mistress, I was to relieve his sexual hunger so that no other unmarried, unmated girl would have to do that.
It wasn’t until I felt a clawed thumb brush against my cheek that I realised I was crying. “Your tears won’t melt my dead heart, pup.” I pushed away his hand. If this was to be my fate then I had no other choice but to accept it, that’s what I have been doing. I steeled my heart and walked towards the bed.
A few moments later, after I lay down, he joined me. This time, I let go of my inhibitions. My heart would never be his anyway, but I had nowhere else to go, no one else would accept me, not even my own mate if I had one. His pointed canines grazed my neck, making me shudder. His clawed fingers pulled and pinched my nipples through the fabric of my gown, making them painfully erect. A moan slipped out of my lips, unbidden. I hissed when his teeth pricked the skin, and slowly sunk in as he ground against my hips. I clutched the bed sheets tightly as he licked the column of my neck before his teeth tore the gown. I laid bare in front of him, for his taking, a sacrifice, a piece of flesh.
I shivered as his tongue swirled around my left nipple before switching. No words were spoken as he parted my thighs, settling between them. He discarded the shredded gown and nuzzled the most intimate part of me and my traitorous body reacted to it. “Your body is honest,” he murmured before I felt his tongue on me. I cried out, feeling both pleasure and humiliation, feeling aroused and ashamed. I turned my head and muffled my cries as he feasted on me.
And then I felt a blunt nudge. A scream ripped out of my mouth, echoing in the silent room as he entered me slowly. Tears streamed down my cheeks while he moved and set a rhythmic pace. I sobbed as I endured the pain, cried as I felt pleasure building in my belly and whimpered when he released inside me. By the time he was done, I felt drained. I shut my eyes, making a futile attempt to shut myself from this horrid reality.
The temporary relief from the harsh reality broke sooner than I would have preferred. I woke up to the feeling of soft fabric against my skin and opened my eyes to see that my bed mate was long gone. I closed my eyes again, feeling a dull pain in my head. I drew the cover further up until I could snuggle back and turned to the other side when I felt the twinging pain in my lower half and slowly I felt the soreness and stiffness all over my body.Astrid whimpered in my mind and it was then that I finally let the reality sink in, it was then that I finally realised that last night hadn’t been a nightmare; it had very much happened. I lay on the bed, staring at the ornately designed ceiling, stared until my vision blurred and I had to blink, stared until I felt my eyes burn and tears fall.“Come to bed so tha
[Warning: Body dysphoria and self-hatred]Marcus was a tall and stout looking brunet. He sat in his office chair working on the laptop and the moment he saw me, he stood up and bowed respectfully. “Good morning, luna. Thank you for agreeing to this meeting.” I felt nodded awkwardly, not used to such a show of respect and also feeling ridiculous at the show of such high regard.“Please have a seat.” He gestured to a standard looking black office chair. But his gaze frequently flickered to the mark that sat glaringly and was on full display because of the round-necked t-shirt.“Firstly, I apologize for not being able to welcome you-”“W
My pity party ended with a hesitant knock from one of the maids. Having asked them to wait, I shrugged on a t-shirt and joggers. The clothes dragged me into another bout of nostalgia. Clarissa had come alone to collect the food tray which had remained untouched. “But you must eat something,” she said anxiously. I shook my head. “I will ask for something if I’m hungry. Hope the food will be available even after lunch hours?” I aimed it to be teasing, attempting to mask my bitterness with the fake smile, but Clarissa’s eyes widened. Clearly, she thought I was being sarcastic. “Ye-yes, of course, luna.” “Good.” She ambled towards the coffee table to collect the tray but before leaving she said. “Uh…the pack doctor wants to…um, make an appointment with you.” She didn’t meet my eyes while saying this and thi
I couldn’t fathom her words for a few moments before I dumbly repeated, “Enigma?” Georgia nodded. Her gaze shifted to the door, then she lowered her voice. “Don’t tell anyone I told you this, please. But since you are the new luna and I regularly do clinical check-ups of Alpha, I thought you should know.”I vaguely nodded. My mind was preoccupied with the new revelation. After I bid goodbye to the doctor and came out of the chamber, I walked slowly towards the Alpha’s residence. Some pack members hurried from one part of the courtyard to the other and I could hear the hustle and bustle of daily life, outside where everyone else lived. My gaze was fixed on the wall that was built high and sturdy around the residence and I couldn’t help but wonder if this was for the Alpha’s protection or the pack members.
“I wanted an explanation.” I don’t elaborate my answer, however, I make sure my gaze remains unwavering. His golden eyes narrow slightly. He does move from where he stands in front of the door. I notice his jaw clench, his nostrils flare slightly. I can’t help but admire his sharp features and how it rivals his rough nature, his angry personality. I tilt up my chin slightly, not one to back down or cower. I’m an alpha, even if I am slightly less powerful, but I am not useless. I cross my arms to hide my sweaty palms and lean against the casement, the cold air hits my nape, creating goosebumps on my skin. “So you harass him? It was your father who struck the deal,” he gritted through his clenched teeth as he strode forward, prowled towards me like a predator. I actually felt like the prey. I could only hope that it did
I watched the doors close behind him with a heavy thud, a sound that sent a jolt to my chest. I stared at the closed doors for how long I had no idea, maybe not until I felt an itchiness of dried cum on my inner thighs or the distinct ache in between my legs. I half-sat , my mind going blank for a moment. Shame had already spread across my body like a wet blanket. I sat up completely, naked and shivering. I refused to cry, but the tears didn’t listen, they rolled down my cheeks. I sniffled as I got off the bed. The wind blew in from the still open window caressing my skin, making me shudder. I cast a glance across the pristine white satin bedsheet, which was now ruined by cum and drops of blood. It’s strange how when he first invaded me and took my virginity, no blood was spilled, whereas today, it was the opposite. The dark red splotches reminded me, glared at me and taunted me of the loss of my virginity, a hollow concept created by soci
I didn’t know how to react to this. The woman, however, knew exactly what to say. She was stoic like her son, her gaze fiery and hostile. “I am the late Alpha’s true mate, but he didn’t want me to be the luna.” The bitterness was evident in her tone. I nodded, trying to make out some sense of this fact. “You must be the girl whom he chose,” she said after scrutinizing me. I managed to not squirm under the weight of her gaze. The girl he chose, huh? I also tried my best to not cringe at this. Her eyes narrowed, razor-sharp as if waiting for me to slip up.“Try not to disappoint him,” she said when I hadn’t replied verbally. I blinked while her face remained impassive. I wanted to say, “Who the hell does your son think he is, that I won’t dare to disappoint him? He is already disappointed, I think.” But none of
Astrid yipped as we zoomed our way through the forest, weaving through the trees and occasionally rolling on the forest ground. We were happy, more so because this was the first time in a long while that we got so much freedom. There were no lakes or clearing in this forest or there was, just not accessible. We looked around and found a semi-clear spot, devoid of dirt and looking pretty cosy with the spread of fallen leaves. We trotted to the spot and plopped on it. The leaves crinkled and tickled but we made ourselves comfortable. ‘Astrid?’ I began, because after all this time, I finally felt that we could speak to each other freely, connect and share our thoughts. Astrid, unlike me, didn’t like to stretch things or talk about heavy stuff. She never dwelled on anything, which is why now as we sat on the forest floor,
