"Future Alpha Todd Rupert of Wild Gold pack."
Thalia felt immobile, her hands were shaking reading the name on the invitation, her sister was engaged to the man she carried his mark, what a terrible fate, she had, she hit the glass on the wall, shattering it, her hands were bleeding but that pain is nothing to her, the pain in her heart hurts more than anything, she needed air, she grabbed her sword, she was heading out again, pulling the door of her room, her father, alpha Shawn was standing in front of her."Thalia," she stood in motion, alpha Shawn walked to her, she held her breath, not wanting to make him smell her aura. "Where are you off to dress in a man wears again? And your hands, they are bleeding"Her eyes move to her wears, she has forgotten that she is still in the shirt of the man that broke her heart."Oh this...I...what do you want Father?" Finding the right words to use for her father was difficult, changing the topic was the best option she could think of."Oh, your sister's suitor...""Alpha Shawn, I already know." She growled, she wanted to keep it low but the anger in her, would not let her act calm, Alpha Shawn looked at her, first she referred to him as alpha and now, she growled at him"Baby, are you alright?" If there is anything Alpha Shawn could give off his crown for, then it will be this beautiful daughter of his but something is wrong, something has changed, and Luna Alia is the one responsible for this change. "Come on, tell me, daughter, is everything alright, and your...""My mate, Alpha Shawn!" Luna Alia called out to Thalia's father."Luna Alia, what..." Luna pressed a soft kiss on his lips."I was looking everywhere for you and you know, we need to prepare for Princess Rani's suitor." Thalia watched her mother, the Luna run her hand on her father's chest."Oh that is true, Thalia, we will talk later after your sister's engagement, and don't forget to join breakfast.""Alpha Shawn, I will skip." He turned and gave her one last glance, he wanted to know everything about his daughter's pain, yet, something was stopping him this wife of his, was acting all strange and different from his human mate, yet she carried the face, of his human mate"Fine, but dinner is a must, the family that eats together stays together." That has always been the alpha logic of getting everyone to have a meal together."Noted Alpha." Even though Thalia kept referring to him as alpha instead of Dad, he didn't want to argue with his stubborn daughterThalia heaved in relief, seeing that the alpha and Luna had walked out of her quarters, she darted towards the exit door."Hey sister," that was Rani's voice, the devil herself, she acted all nice in front of their father towards Thalia while in a real sense, she hated Thalia."What now sister?" Thalia's voice was filled with sarcasm."You must have heard that my suitor is coming today and...""Rani, I know all that, you are the one getting engaged, I don't see the reason why everyone is dragging me into this, and what happened to the Rani that believes in meeting her fated mate?" Thalia's voice was cold and her fist clenched, she was fighting hard to not get mad at Rani and bounce on her."Oh sister, you know, I have always preferred an alpha to just any idiot that could bear the title of a fated mate. I know you don't understand, the difference between love and power, to you love is everything but to me, power is everything, here, take this, deliver it to the royal family of Wild Gold Pack." Thalia's eyes move to the parcel, it's a box of silver coins, it's the tradition of the Blue Moon Pack to gift the family their daughters will be part of after the claiming, be it a chosen mate or fated mate."Why do I have to do it? What happened to your guard?" Thalia's voice was calm yet she was burning in anger."It's because I want you to do it, you are good with the horse, so you will get there faster than any of my guards." Rani's voice wasn't friendly. "Go on and take it, if you don't want to get punished for disobeying the crown princess." Thalia pulled the box roughly from her, turning to leave, Rani's eyes met the mate mark on Thalia's neck. "Thalia, you found your mate already, and you...""I didn't, I only faked it to cover my scent from every male wolf in heat, I heard...""Stop explaining, get going," Rani yelled at Thalia, she turned and grabbed the door, it's a good thing Rani didn't want her explanation, even though she didn't have the right words to use how she get the mark on her neck, it didn't take long before she jumped on her horse and gallops away.Todd who was just arriving at the castle, was distracted by a horse just arriving as well, Todd was staring in the direction of the fellow that had just gotten down from the horse and talking to one of the guards at the gate."Hey buddy, what are you looking at?" Adrian hit Todd's shoulder causing him to be startled."Adrian, what the fuck is wrong with you?""Sorry, what were you staring at?""It's nothing, who is that fellow over there?" Todd points at Thalia, knowing that she is coming to Wild Gold Pack, she needs to disguise herself again to avoid being recognized by anyone."I don't know, probably from your fiancee Pack," Todd clenched his fist."What fiancée?""Come on, you and I know that the Coronation ceremony of you becoming the alpha will not hold If you don't have a mate.""I have a mate Adrian." Adrian turned and looked at him, yes, Todd found his mate and he had rejected him already, but now he was saying otherwise. "don't give me that look, I have imprinted my mark on her.""Slow down, I am lost and I am finding it difficult to be on the same page with you. Did you change your mind about...""Adrian stop talking nonsense and listen, the girl from last night, I imprinted my mate...""Todd, are you mad?" Adrian growled he closed his mouth almost at the same time, those words fled from his mouth, Todd titters as he pushed his hand into his hair, the morning sun shining on his face made him more handsome, and people say his father is handsome while he is a demigod."Why? Is it a crime to imprint my mark on the woman I wanted?" He said casually."No, what if she is a human, one without a wolf?" He tittered at Adrian's words. "What's funny?""Maybe, you have forgotten that I am also without a wolf, which makes me a human." Adrian knows he couldn't say anything to stop what had happened, but only the way forward."So where is she?" His face darkened the minute, Adrian asked him that."I need to look for her, she had..." Cameron run-in with his breath unstable, stopping Todd's words"Alpha Todd, your father, the former alpha Rupert has been looking for you since last night, he is mad, so mad about what you did to Ivan and he said you are going to get punished but for now, you have to get dress, we are going to Blue Moon Pack." Todd's face crumpled."I don't want...""And why is that?" Former alpha Rupert growled, and Todd turned to him. "Todd, you are getting so annoying by the day, how dare you hurt your brother because he was trying to...""He is not my brother and he has no right to question my decision because I am the alpha..." Former Alpha Rupert sent a punch across his face, he held his bleeding lips. "Rupert!" Luna Iris runs to him, trying to stop Rupert from hitting Todd again."You should talk to him, if he doesn't want my wrath, and don't ever refer to yourself as the alpha because I am still the alpha of this pack, Meet me at the garage, we need to arrive there on time because we have received the gift of alliance already." Former alpha Rupert darted out, Luna Iris looked at Todd, then turned and left with her mate."Dammit!" He hit the wall."You should stop, you don't want to go to your chosen mate with bruises, it will make you look irresponsible." Cameron tries to save the situation. "You should look your best, I heard the princess is a goddess, she is extremely beautiful, I heard no one can beat her beauty."Todd smiled shutting his eyes as Cameron referred to Princess Rani as the most beautiful, making him think about the girl, he had a one-night stand, and her face flashed to him, "I don't think so, her beauty is nothing compared to the beauty of my mate, her hair is as curled as moon shadow black, her eyes are Eden green eyes, with long eyelashes, her skin is flawless white, she is more like the goddess, I need to find her because she carries my mark now.""You did what?""Stop yelling Cameron, you don't want to act like this Grandpa." Todd pointed at Adrian. "Look for her, I want to see her when I return.""What is her name?" Adrian asked Todd."I don't know, she left before I woke up." Cameron wanted to laugh at the words of Todd but he held his laughter. "Get moving why I go see that female that is supposed to be my chosen mate." Todd darted out, Adrian looked at Cameron"How do I look for someone, I don't know her name or even her picture?" Adrian ran his hand through his hair while Cameron shrugged tapping his shoulder."Enjoy your first assignment as a beta." Cameron teases Adrian.It didn't take long before Todd and his parents arrived at Blue Moon Pack, he didn't come with his beta nor his gamma, he was just in the company of his parents."Former Alpha Rupert and Luna Iris, Alpha Todd, it's my pleasure, hope you all had a good ride." Alpha Shawn said."Thank You, shall we?""Sure after you, let's head to the dining your mate is already at the table." Alpha Shawn said, leading his guest inside, Princess Rani and Luna Alia were sitting gorgeously at the dining, they both took to their feet."Today, we gather here, to meet my daughter's chosen mate, Alpha Todd of Wild Gold Pack." Alpha Shawn spoke, he didn't even introduce Rani to Todd, it's obvious that the younger one is the mate while the older one is the mother. Alpha Shawn raises his gold wine glass. "Let the ceremony begin and..." Sheila ran into the dining."Sheila, what madness had brought you...""Princess Thalia, she fainted.""What did you say?" Alpha Shawn jumped from the dining, hearing the words of Sheila. "Your second daughter, the princess is sick," Sheila said again "Second daughter." Former Alpha Rupert and Luna Iris asked, Alpha Shawn looked at them, he didn't tell them anything about Thalia, he only said, he is having a marriage alliance with his daughter. "I am sorry Alpha Shawn, I didn't mean to appear unannounced, it's just that I don't know what to do with my lady, she felt nauseous and dizzy, she was unable to stand steady and she fainted, she..." Sheila's lips were trembling, kneeling before the royal family."Sheila, stop explaining, you should know that she needs the Pack physician, not father and if you are not stupid, you should know that we have guests, you shouldn't appear in front of a royal guest like an idiot, so get lost." Rani Snarled slapping her hand across her face, Todd moved his gaze to her, and for the first time, Todd glance at her, although he knew that they are two wom
"Miss, can I sit beside you?" Thalia froze at the spot, Todd's voice had registered in her head that she could even recognize his voice in her dream. "Can I?" Todd's voice came up again, Thalia took a deep breath, it was a good thing that she was backing Todd, so her hair was covering the side of her face and all Todd could see was her back. "Sure, you can." Thalia finally speaks, using a different voice for him. "Thanks." He took a sit beside her, Thalia held her breath, the proximity was killing Thalia, he wasn't saying anything to her but her body was burning, she wanted Todd to hug her and she also wanted to tell him that they might be expecting a baby, but who will believe that having a one night stand the previous day and the next day, you show up with pregnancy, she sighed. Todd raised his hand and touched Thalia's hair. "Hey, stop touching me." Thalia growl. "Sorry, I didn't mean to, it's just that your hair..." he stutters "What happened to my hair?" She tried not to f
"Alpha Brandon" Thalia yelled, Alpha Brandon is thrice the age of Thalia, he is known to be a ruthless alpha and he had more than ten wives. "Alia, what are you saying? You are going to give my daughter to a man that is older than me?" Alpha Shawn growls. "Do you have a better option? Maybe, you prefer her been stone to death because she is pregnant without a mate?" Luna Alia's face was without emotions, Thalia wanted to tell them that she was mated already and that her mate was responsible for her pregnancy, but if she did that, then she would have to tell everyone that Todd was the one responsible for it and she is not even sure the male responsible for this will even want to claim her publicly. "That is not going to happen, my Jewel will tell me who got her pregnant. Right baby?" Alpha Shawn's voice was low and pleading, he was pleading with his daughter. "Father...""Stop trying to patronize father, tell us who the father of the pup is?" Rani snapped at Thalia. "You are sleepi
Thalia jumped off the carriage ready to fight alongside the men but she noticed they were dead."Kill her." One of the enemies shouted Thalia dragged her dagger, she was not going to let these men kill her. She ripped her gown apart causing it to fall to the floor, leaving her with warrior attire, she had worn that under her supposed wedding gown, earlier, Sheila had told her not to wear that under her gown that she was getting married and not going to war but she has insisted that she will wear it, telling Sheila that, a warrior should always prepare for an enemy, Thalia knows she lives in a wolf world and since she isn't a wolf, if she has to survive in a wolf world, she needed to be strongly trained like her life depend on it, she tittered at her silliness. She swung her dagger side by side cutting the first two men that attacked her. Another set ran to her, and she jumped off the floor, as her feet went to the back of the two men, they fell to the other man, who was about to attac
"Todd!" Adrian screamed hitting Todd off Ivan, who had already pierced the dagger in Ivan's chest, Ivan's blood spurted out. Todd pushes Adrian's hand off himself while Cameron goes to the bleeding Ivan. "Alpha Todd, you should work on your anger," Adrian said. "Tell him to work on his mouth," he dragged the shirt and wore it, jumping on his horse he galloped away. "Take him home while I go after Alpha Todd." Beta Adrian said to Gamma Cameron. "You should have my wears, you don't want to appear there without a shirt." Beta Adrian gets the wear as he jumps on his horse and gallops behind Alpha Todd.The ceremony had started already, but Todd was still nowhere to be found."Alpha Rupert, where is your son? The ritual is almost complete and he ought to be here but he is..." "I am here now." Todd's icy voice hit them, something was off about him, he is always cold and his aura is always sinful, he is more dreadful than his father, Rupert. As soon as he announced his presence, the cer
"Open your eyes." His voice was low and his breath met her neck. She patted her eyelashes only to see that she was at another Pack, this fits the description of Alpha Brandon's pack, the night moon pack. "You brought me here? I thought..." He looks at her. "Thought what? That I was going to take advantage of you? I don't go back on my words, If I have given you, my words then it is, what I will do. My words are my vow." He explained, Thalia blushed badly knowing that the man, she carried his mate Mark was not all a demon like they all described him. "Now tell me your name?" Thalia raised her head and looked at him, the two eyes met, and Todd turned his gaze fast, he needed to leave he didn't understand his body's reactions towards the mate of another, not just another, but alpha Brandon's mate."Thalia, that is my name." Thalia felt that this is the only opportunity to tell him, her name. He stopped and looked at him, his expression softening, he stared at her, causing her to shiver
"Thalia, the baby didn't make it, it's a good thing you survived it." "No, please don't say that, my baby is alive." She cried more, tossing from one side of her bed to the other. "Thalia, you should wake up you are dreaming again." Lady Audrey, one of the mates of alpha Brandon. She has been her friend since she first arrived in the pack. she tries to wake her from her nightmare, for the past two weeks, Thalia had a haunted dream of losing her child, a child she didn't even see his dead body, all she knew was that the baby had taken in excess water as a result of prolonged labor and that the baby couldn't make it. When she opened her eyes, she was drenched with sweat and terror, the memory was always fresh, it was like it happened, just last night. Her breath wasn't stable, she was breathing heavily. Her heart raced fast, they were beating like the drum. She felt like a failed daughter and mother, she was supposed to protect her pup but then she couldn't. She slept there like som
"I could please you..." Although she doesn't want to give herself to alpha Brandon anymore, she thinks it would be better if it's just her supposed husband who touches her. It would rather be just this beast in front of her instead of being shared among Alpha. She doesn't want to fight or have sex with anyone, she is nothing to alpha Brandon. Even though her mother had sent her here as a mate. Alpha Brandon had already treated her like a slave and a sex toy to him. During those days of her pregnancy, alpha Brandon had constantly forced himself on her, even though she was heavily pregnant. Sometimes she felt that she lost her baby because of forceful sex by this beast called Alpha Brandon. Brandon stared coldly at her. She parted her lips to speak again. "Please, Alpha, you can torture me as long as you want." He tittered dryly and moved closer to her, he pinned her chin. "Torture you?" His voice was filled with mockery, Thalia nodded in fear. But Brandon's eyes were cold, they we
