This is going to be my last meal with Aunt Susan, and I've already got a pretty good idea of how much I'll miss her after tonight. Aunt Susan was the one who took me in when I arrived here three months ago, drenched in blood and on the verge of passing away, but she is the one who saved my life. She is a werewolf just like me, but because she is much older than the others, she does not possess as much power. After we had finished eating our final meal, she poured me a cup of tea and I gave her a friendly smile as she did so. As I sipped my steaming cup of tea, I remarked "the time has come." My name is Amaryllis Eloise, and I am a rogue werewolf. I ran away from my pack because I didn't want to spend the rest of my life obeying the Alphas' orders. And for this reason, I have a large number of adversaries, some of whom I am aware of, while others are like snakes in sheep's clothing. My entire life has been spent watching werewolves defer to the authority of their Alphas and carry o
Darius POV: "Did you find all of the rogues who entered my territory?" I inquired while looking through a stack of papers in my hands. "A total of eleven rogues succeeded in infiltrating your territory," Zixin's responded and hand over a file that contained the names of the individuals who had violated the boundary. Zixin is my Beta. He is the only close companion I have and the one person who knows me better than anyone else. In addition to this, he is the one who secretly completes my significant mission without informing anyone else. "Bring all of them in. I am curious as to what made them enter my territory without my permission," I remarked while wearing a threatening grin on my lips. Another thing I abhor is disloyal people, and rogues are at the top of the list. They break away from their packs and become rogues, which I forbid because it is against the rules. As a werewolf, you should serve your Alpha with all of your heart until the day that you die. Zixin left the roo
AMARYLLIS PERSON POV:Even though I've been in this city for a week, I still can't say that I've adjusted to the way of life here. People, the environment, and just about everything is very different. However, I used to believe that perhaps it was not this place that was strange, but rather myself. In the present day, coexistence between humans and werewolves is possible; however, there is one requirement that must be satisfied. It is absolutely forbidden for werewolves to reveal their true selves. This decision was made in the interest of establishing peace. It was the best choice for humans because they did not want to live in constant fear of werewolves or feel inferior to them. Now everyone lives in harmony and everyone is treated with the same respect. But It hasn't always been this way in the world of werewolves, they are obligated to obey Alpha, who I abhor more than anything else. "I really wish that I had been born a human!" I sighed with a sad expression on my face, but
I was standing dumbfounded in a room full of handsome werewolves among which one was my mate. I didn’t want to accept but I couldn’t deny this either. This was not something I could easily change or ignore as per my wish. But the question was what to do now. Darius took me here with him without telling me what was my role in all of this and now I was stupidly staring at these men in front of me with a dizzy head. My heart was pounding against my rib cage so hard that I was sure it would have jumped out of me if there were nothing to hold it in its place. I was in great trouble because if he recognizes me as his mate then I would have no way to run from him. My palms were sweaty when I finally gathered the courage to look at him and said, “Hello. I’m Amaryllis Eloise.” He couldn’t smell me. He couldn’t find out, I was his mate. All type of different scenarios was playing in my small head what if finds out? What if he killed me for being a rogue? There was no way he will accept a ro
DARIUS POV: My day was already wrecked when Zixin informed me that he hadn't yet captured the rogue. It had been a week or two since he first told me about her, but I still hadn't been able to capture her in all this time. It seemed unthinkable because how could this happen in my territory? In my region, no mistakes or negligence were tolerated, so why was he being so careless as to trap a poor female rogue? She piqued my interest. I've never heard of a female rogue capable of concealing herself from my men. There was no doubt that she was capable of capturing my attention. But after I meet her, I intend to kill her in the most heinous way possible to spoil my perfect day. I was getting ready for another dull but crucial meeting. I informed Zixin to notify Louise that I was going to meet him. I knew he'd be astonished after hearing the news because I rarely go to company, but when I do, it has to be for something incredibly urgent and vital. I sat in the room, expecting to see Lo
AMARILLIS POV:It was way past nine o'clock, and instead of heading back home, I found myself aimlessly wandering the dark, deserted streets. I felt useless and incompetent after struggling with the tasks assigned to me all day. Everyone at the company seemed so brilliant, and I couldn't help but wonder why Louise had chosen me despite my lack of any special skills.As I meandered through the gloomy alleyways, I couldn't help but think about my true identity. My heart raced as I realized the dangers that lay ahead. I knew that Darius would not take kindly to discovering my secrets, and I feared what he might do to me. The thought alone was enough to make my stomach churn."I don't think I should take this position," I muttered to myself, "Darius will undoubtedly find out my true identity, and I don't know what he'll do to me."My wolf's snarls only added to my already mounting anxiety. She was still seething with anger at me for not being truthful with Darius. I tried to strike up a co
I'm in excruciating pain, every muscle in my body screaming in agony. My eyes are struggling to stay open, heavy with the weight of my exhaustion. I have no idea what they gave me, but it must have been an insane amount of some illegal substance.I tried to put on a brave face when I spoke with Zixin earlier, but now that he's gone, I'm back to the reality of my aching body. My wolf knows that all of this could have been avoided if she hadn't been so insistent on breaking through my reluctance.I let out a long sigh, watching as my breath mists in front of me in the frigid air. My body feels numb with cold, and if this goes on for much longer, I'll succumb to hypothermia. My wounds are starting to fester, and I know I need to get them treated as soon as possible.But my biggest concern isn't my injuries, it's my scent. If I don't take my tablet within the next three hours, my wolf scent will start to emerge. Darius' wolf is highly attuned to the scent of his mate, and he'll pick up on
I took a deep breath and entered the beast's den. My heart raced as I walked in, aware that I might not make it out alive. Darius Augustus was sitting by the window, his back turned to me. I couldn't tell what he was thinking as he stared outside.Zixin stood in the corner, giving me a cold glare. I wondered what he wanted, but before I could do anything, he motioned for me to kneel. I refused, and he shoved me down to my knees. I knew I couldn't stand up until they allowed me to, and so I remained on the floor, helpless and vulnerable.Darius turned around, smiling as he saw me kneeling in front of him. I felt a surge of anger and hatred but knew there was nothing I could do.The door opened behind me, and someone entered the room. His presence was overwhelming. I could feel his eyes on me, but I couldn't bring myself to look away from Darius. His eyes had shifted from mine, and it was then that I felt a cold shiver run down my spine.I wanted to turn around and see who this stranger
