"Clean up this place! Stan ordered, and the guards swung into action. "Don't bury Alpha Greg; throw his body into the lion's den!" Kyle added, and I gasped in shock and confusion."Where did my father wrong you? Why?" I couldn't finish talking as the men dragged my dad away. I had no strength to struggle with them. "Oh, your father is good to Kyle, not me. This is his punishment for destroying my demon clan!!" Kyle huffed and shrugged, walking away. "What are you doing there? Go in and start cleaning everywhere!!" Stan snorted at me. "The maid and Omega does all that!" I mumbled with heavy breath."Oh, you aren't aware; I have killed them all, so you are doing it all by yourself!" He laughed and grinned evilly. "You mean..."No more talk. Do as I say, or I'll order the guards to flog you into a lash you a thousand times! " He warned, and I sneered at the royal guards who had been under me since I was born. "You don't mean it!" I huffed, and he chuckled. "Flog him until he begins
"No oooo" I shrieked with endless horror. "Lena!" I heard someone call me with a pat on my back."Zoe, wake up!!! My pack is dying, we need to avenge them!" I bawled and held the hand I felt around my body, clutching it tightly. "Lena." The voice called me again, louder this time. Just like a little wave, everything disappeared and my eyes opened widely. "Can you release my hand?" I heard someone's voice. It made me look up, and my eyes fell on Xander. Our eyes met, and a spark was felt in me. "What happened?..." You look so tense, you're sweating, and just now, you called out a name, Zoe... Who is that?" He asked with a furrowed brow. I released my breath and shut my eyes, trying hard to calm my nerves. My heartbeat was racing so fast from the massive terror I had just gone through. "You are still holding my hand without saying anything. Let me go if you are not replying!" Xander huffed, and I couldn't say any words. I couldn't still free his hand. It was soothing to my heart,
Xander's POVI hurriedly left the room because I couldn't control myself anymore. I was already acting so stupid and needed to find a place to calm down and think thoroughly. My breathing was so fast and unsteady, I was feeling the thudding of my heart increase its pace like it was in a race. I got into a reserved room and dashed in. Plopping on the bed heavily, I buried my face in my palm, gasping heavily as I tried to catch my breath. Furthermore, I gulped and lay flat on the bed gazing up at the ceiling. My eyebrows narrowed as I recalled she mentioned the Blood Moon Pack and also the power to rule the universe.What struck me most was the fact that she knew about the ancient magic to rule the universe. This had been a secret which I had found and kept hidden. My quest for powers made me find the forbidden book which detailed how to attain great dark magic to rule the whole universe. I had found it in the tomb of Lucifer and after reading a few pages, I got to realize it was an e
The royal guards and cleaners all stood transfixed, mopping. The door of my car was opened by my driver, and Lena hopped in while I followed. "I feel protected around you. Being your mate must be a blessing!" She whispered to me with a crazy smile that made me sneer at her. "I won't protect you if you are attacked. Stop overthinking; I'm just repaying your favors!" I scoffed, looking away from the window. "But why did you act strange at the mention of my pack? Do you know anything about them?" She asked, her tone meek and emotional. "You have no right to question me!" I hissed, shutting my eyes as I leaned my head against the headrest. "I have found the killer of my pack and family, but it hurts my heart to find out I can't do anything. I'm so weak. How would I get revenge for the massacre?" She mumbled with teary eyes, resting her head on my shoulder. "If anyone finds out we are mates, I'll reject and kill you." I warned her without looking at her. "You can't kill me or reject
Xander's POV Finally, the car got to the school, and I hopped down quickly without waiting for my driver to open the door.I was really nervous about sitting beside her in the car, especially with the contact our bodies were making at some sudden swerve of the car.I ignored everything she was saying to me and would never look at her face. I sat at the other edge to avoid her. I was really avoiding her in fear. It was just yesterday since I took her to my pack to save her life, but little did I know it would result in this feeling going deeper. I have read many books about Alphas who rejected their mate instantly because she was weak and useless. I had vowed to be one of them, not knowing how hard it was. It was just so impossible. My heart won't allow me to reject her and, at the same time, I still don't want to have a mate. How would I explain to my foster dad that I couldn't reject my mate? He had depended on me so much. He was cruel, but I was crueler. Killing was his hobby, but
Lena's POV. Hot tears flowed down my eyes as I clenched my teeth tightly, trying hard not to give up my ghost. I couldn't breathe anymore as my throat was seized tightly by Hutton.I was wavering my legs, which were hung in the air, trying hard to free myself, but it was all futile. Hutton had succeeded in tricking me into his trap. I had fallen into it so easily, the call for help was just to get me here where he had demons waiting to strike me.Until now, I still couldn't understand what was going on. The man I was seeing was Hutton, but all he did was make me doubt he was the one. I had rushed here to help him because I never wanted his death, but instead, I was attacked by a legion of demons without giving me a chance to catch my breath.I had struggled with my wolf but ended up receiving bone-breaking blows that left me crawling for life. "Hutton, do you want me to die?They are killing me!" I shrieked at him the moment I saw he wasn't wounded but staring at me. He only laughed
I watched in surprise and speechlessness as she covered my body with the duvet. She had been careful when she placed me on the bed. It was clear she wanted to avoid hurting me a bit. I had bruises and cuts all over my body from the tortures the demon guards inflicted on me, and she did well to avoid meddling with them all."Have a good rest.." She mumbled before heading out. I stretched out my hand and caught hold of her palm, which was so soft and tender. I felt a spark as it locked with my hand.It felt so good to hold her hand, but just as she turned to me, I took off my hand and made a deep groan, struggling to sit up. "For now, have a good sleep! Hey, lay back and don't stress yourself trying to get up. I would prefer not to hear anything from you. All I want is for you to rest and begin your work later. For now, have a good sleep!" She muttered something with a shrug, avoiding my face. She was looking down at the ground as she said those words, but I craved to see her face once
She shuddered and began to pick it all up, but I won't let her do that."Hutton..." she called out my name while I moved my face through her neck, letting her feel my hot breath."At least the moon goddess should have mercy on me a bit by giving me you. At least if I have a day to live, taking your mate scent into my system is what I crave," I mumbled with a deep sigh as it dawned on me what might be my fate in the future. "Hutton, I feel like fainting on hearing you say those words. I... I..." She gulped and turned to face me. Her face was a few inches away from mine. I could see those full lips, which were sensual and kissable. Her eyes were damn charming, and when she smiled at me, I couldn't hold myself from gasping..."I love you," I mumbled, and she blushed. "I love......." Her sentence was cut short by the knock that sounded on the door. It broke us apart as we both leapt away from each other in a bolt. The knock sounded again, sending extreme fear over me. I just realized I
