Hello lovely readers, we’re close to the end. Thank you for your support, any comment and gem is valuable for the contest consideration.
Viviane POV “Don’t take him away, please. He didn’t do anything, you heard him,” I begged Philip, but he did not want to hear me. Instead he chained Atticus like a dog and took him away. When they were gone, Lilliane and I did not stay alone for long, Delta Derek and a few of our warriors emerged from the water. They could have rounded the lake but this could have taken much longer to reach us. Thank goodness they brought clothes on and were not naked as they were in their wolf form before. “Luna, are you alright? Did they hurt you or Lady Lilliane?” I was about to answer. We were a little shaken and bruised but nothing serious when my sister jumped into the Delta’s arms at the sound of her name being spoken. “Lilliane!” I gasped, covering my mouth with my mouth. I had never seen my little sister behave like that, she was shaking and sobbing in the arms of a strange man. But when I saw the concern in Delta's eyes and with the tenderness of his treating Lilly, I decided to lea
Viviane POVAfter discussing all of our options in an assembly of Alphas and high-ranked wolves in the Greenway territory, we agreed I needed to come to the palace and ask for an audience with Prince Patrick and that is precisely what I attempt to do when noises coming from one of the big rooms on the ground floor divert me from my path. “Fuck, precious, you are such a good girl. That’s it, suck it, you know you want it. There, take it, take it all.” The sounds of someone gagging and mewl noises were coming out of the room, almost making me throw up. How are they able to have sex in moments like this? When a man’s life is literally hanging by a thread? Vicious people. “Do..do you want to continue, milady? The servant who is escorting me gestured forward down the corridor, the poor man looked white as a sheet from the embarrassment. He halted mid hallway too and hesitated to continue as the sound of gaspings, squeals and flesh slapping came from the other side of the door. As if
Alpha Atticus POV “What..what is she doing here?” I managed to ask in a low voice. I’m still shackled to the ceiling and my feets are dragging on the floor. I'm too weak to stand up straight. My body aches everywhere but I fight my own will to keep alert. I want to know what Philip is up to bringing Viviane to this shithole. Philip is not in his right mindset, he definitely lost it and became mad like his grandfather. Prince Pierre was diagnosed with schizophrenia and had to be interned in an asylum for the rest of his days. “Well, well, well. Tsk. Atticus, you look like shit and smell like it too,” he said scrunching his face, it took him just a moment to take out a handkerchief from his pocket to cover his mouth and nose, “Where are your manners, dog? Can’t you see you have visitors?” He kicked me but I did not move. “Stop it! Don’t you see he is weak? What have you done to him?” Viviane came close to me but Philip stopped her before she could reach me. His grip on her arm
Viviane POV "I believe in you, Selene, thank you”. I closed my eyes and held my hands close to my chest when I muttered to myself these words. But apparently one of the girls who was helping me get ready heard me, "What was that Princess, do you need anything?" she asked. “No, no, is nothing. You shall begin with the preparations." I dismissed her with my hand. Soon the girls started to dress me in a Vera Wang gown, ironically it was the wedding dress Philip had chosen for me when I was his betrothed but now it seemed so wrong to wear that my eyes stinged with tears I refused to shed. Anger rippled my body and I desire to cry overtook me, but I mustered all my strength not to let one tear down my cheek, I won't give Phillip the satisfaction of seeing me defeated. The two girls that started doing my hair and makeup soon realized I was not a happy bride and their once chatty conversation turned into hushed whispers between them. All I managed to capture from their interaction
Alpha Atticus “So, how is it going to be, Atticus? A rejection or do you want me to fuck her senseless in front of you?” Philip laughed maniacally. There is no way he will see me crumble at his feet, I may be battered and on the brink of death but I’m an Alpha. I heaved a deep breath and said sternly, “I will get you for this, Philip, mark my words.” It took me a lot to look at my mate, the only woman I have ever wanted as she is shedding her tears in silence. “I, Atticus Rudolf Greenway, Alpha of the Greenway Pack, reject you, Lady Viviane Sinclair as my mate and righteous Luna. I set you free of the mate's bond. May the goddess forgive us.” Tears of impotence welling in my eyes are the only thing I feel now that the bond has been severed. With each word came an unbearable pain, like hot coils rubbed against my chest. I felt my heart break in many tiny pieces but I had no choice but to comply with Philip’s wish. Forgive me, please. I pleaded with Zeus who was howling aguishly i
Alpha Atticus “It can be, you are dead. The press said your car went overboard and you both perished at sea.” I said in astonishment. “Ouch. It’s nice to see you too, bro,” said my best friend and my mirror image who is now standing before me. We look exactly the same apart from some scars I have acquired over the years. He helps me out of my chains, I managed to stand up with his help, draping an arm around his shoulders for support. He removes the shackles, and to my dismay, I don't stumble once I’m free. I feel getting stronger,the surge of power from my wolf telling me he has returned and with him, the ability to heal. "Where have you been all this time? More importantly, how did you find me? It was odd that he appeared in such a critical time after so many years. He handed me clothes, once dressed I pat my friend’s shoulder and looked him in the eyes. Paul sighs, “I owe you an apology for not coming sooner to your aid. After Merari and I decided to elope, we had to hide, an
Alpha Atticus In moments like this I hate not being able to mindlink Viviane. We never got the chance to claim each other and now we don’t share a tether connection. It’s hard to see her using all her energy and I can’t stand that my wolf can’t help her carry the burden. A rejection took place and technically we are no longer mates, but in my heart, she is the only woman I want and I’ll do anything to have her again. I’ll bargain with the devil himself if I have to. I would go to the end of the world if it is what it takes to keep her away from harm. Viviane is my soulmate and nothing can’t change that, not even the rejection of the bond. Though I’m focusing on her, my eyes are scanning my surroundings for any sign of an attack. Could I be imagining things, though? The mere sight in front of me is out of this world. I have never seen a manifestation of such power before. Viviane’s hands are glowing a bright white light and she has her hands firmly clasped to the side of Phillip’s h
Alpha Atticus Finally, after a tortuous day we are on our way back to the place where I’ve lived for so many years and now takes another meaning, home. I’m blessed that my mother is back in my life again and that I have a strong pack. The realization of a better future dawns on me and makes my heart feel whole again. While I was away, I knew my people were safe under the guardianship of the other Alphas and warriors, but it doesn’t escape my mind that I have much to deal with when I get there. Beta Jack talked to the pack and they had knowledge of my kidnapping but they didn't know the extent of my captivity or how much I suffered. While I was being hurt and tortured, I did not want my people to feel what I was going through. I shut my walls to the tether that binds me to Greenway Pack not wanting to disclose a full connection hoping to save them the pain I endured because of my love for Viviane, for choosing her. I don't care if I have to die a thousand deaths because of my mate, I
