Riona POV
"Please, stop it! Master, stop it!"
I was screaming, trembling, circling them while they attacked each other. My master was growling I could scent his fury while the alpha king was calm but his wolf also showed fierce I couldn't measure. As my master bit the alpha king's shoulder, the latter winced but got hold of the pain and bit my master's neck making him growl more.
"Alpha King, no!" I screamed as I tried to stop them.
My blurry eyes blinked to another raven wolf that jumped in the middle and with full force, he swung around snapped defensively at the two. But it was almost futile to separate them for both possessed immeasurable strength. The raven wolf bark-growled giving them a warning. It was early in the morning, I hope no one had heard although my master didn't have neighbors, their growling was ear-piercing.
When I saw Hamil and some brawny men, I immediately ran towards him, asked for his help.
"Please, stop them!" my ey
Riona POV "Master, I can't breathe. You're hugging me too tight!" I could hardly speak. His hug was crushing me I felt my voice was stuck in my throat. "It's your fault, Riona. Why I got mad a while ago. It's all your fault!" he grumbled instead. He buried his face on my shoulder sniffing my neck. I was tickled that I was startled quite a bit. But what baffled me while I tried to struggle were his words. Why was it my fault? Was it because I was the reason why his half-brother was here? "Master, I didn't mean to be the Alpha King's bride but it was my fate to be his ~" "Shvt up! You have the nerve to say that to me, Slave?! Do you want me to cause a ruckus again? Are you not satisfied that I hurt Hamil and a couple of my men?" His loud voice shocked me I couldn't let out a word. I was just staring at him while his wrap on my petite body was getting tighter. He was lying on the bed and I was on top of h
Matthew POV I would never let that happen. My teeth gritted inside of my pursed lips as my jaw hardened. My eyes blasted flames glaring at him. No one had ever defied any of my commands yet. Not until today. "Do you wanna go with him, slave?" I roared startling my slave who was on the verge of running away from us or maybe from him, I just hoped so. Actually, I was confident, she was struggling from my clasp while staring at my half-brother who at the moment was also locking eyes with her. I pulled her behind me hiding her from Victor and that made him suddenly get up from the bed and stood in front of me still cringing in pain. I DID bit him that hard, his wolf healing couldn't even cure him or maybe because he was in the human world. Just like me, his power was limited. "Master, I..." I heard my slave stutter behind me as I glanced over my shoulder to see her reaction. "Let her decide, brother!" I shifted my stare back to Victor when h
Riona POV "The adults are talking here! The adults are talking here! What does he mean by that? I'm not an adult?" I was fuming in anger speaking with Friya in my room. I sat on the edge of the bed while stomping my feet and glaring at the door thinking my annoying master could see me or hear me. I was the chosen maiden, the main dish in their juicy talks hence I was thrown out of the door. Not exactly, but for me, it was like that! "Could you calm down? You're troubling yourself to such petty matters. They're all men, you don't need to meddle with their kingdom talks!" Friya scolded me rather. "Are you still on my side, Friya? This four-legged sister of mine was obviously vouching for them instead of taking my side. What happened to her? "I'm always on your side that's why I'm telling you don't meddle with the men's talk. They're crazy. You know what I mean. But I'm gonna tell you, that Alpha King is gorgeous. I love his l
Matthew POVLunch!I was starving and these two unwanted refugees in my mansion were ruining my appetite. This wolfy prince was putting a meal on my slave's plate. When did the son of that witch become a gentleman? And this feeling teenager damaged wolf was also delightful somebody's treating her like a baby!"Alpha King, it's alright. I can get the food by myse~""You can call me Victor, Riona. You're going to be my Luna someday. By the way, have someone ever told you that you have beautiful eyes!""I did! I told her that...once!" my last word came out a whisper.I would like to slap my lips for butting in, I never told them to speak. Even my body parts were not listening to me now."No, you haven't!" she uttered, baffled while staring at me."I already told you that maybe you can't remember again. Really, how can you be the chosen bride when you're a wrecked wolf?" I scowled.But the truth was I was never outspoken. I
Victor POVBeing with my half-brother wasn't that bad at all. Although he was still aloof and cold towards me, the rest of his characters today wasn't that hard to tolerate. Like how he slammed the door of his car in front of him while I was wondering how to open it. It was a good thing this Hamil had a common sense to open the door before I would lift this car along with him. He would never like that to happen. Maybe next time I would do a little hoax to teach him a lesson. I smirked at that brilliant idea."What are you smirking at?" my mind-wandering was cut off by his as cold as a dead person coming out from the grave voice. I shifted my stare at him and plastered a forced smile."Just wondering how my bride ended in your mansion!" I lied but I also wanted to know that.When he sneered at me, I was already aware that his reply would just make my blood boil. Hamil who was driving glanced at the rearview mirror waiting for my half-brother's answer
Riona POV"Riona, wake up. We're here!"I was awakened by Baron's tap and the sound of the stream at night. Plus the cold blow of the wind when he opened the car door. I squinted my eyes first before getting off while hugging myself. I was just wearing a summer shirt and skinny jeans, Baron didn't tell me it's quite cold here."C'mon now! Are you cold?" he asked upon walking to my side.As he opened the door, I got out of the car, my hair waved freely from the breeze while I rubbed my arms. Baron immediately put his jacket on my shoulders."Put this on. I didn't know you can't take cold!" he uttered while locking the car doors. I just nodded as my reply."Is this the stream?" I questioned as my curious sight scanned the surroundings. It was almost twilight."Yeah! This is the stream. Matt told me you can't read us if we talk through mind-links. Does that also happen before? Or only here in the human world?" he questioned w
Riona POV"Are we late? What time does he usually do that?" I was gasping while running really fast with Baron. I spoke to him in his thoughts."Usually after twilight Argo comes out. He might be somewhere now. Hopefully in the forest. D*mn, Hamil isn't in the mansion. Victor is with him. They are looking for his female friend!" Baron answered while he was panting.We were both dead worried Master Matthew might have begun alarming the city or worse cast blood scent in the air. We jumped high over the rocks in the woods, ran as fast as an arrow on the side roads avoiding creating clamor from the people. The lamp posts on the side streets were dim, car headlights were everywhere, the residents locked their doors and windows when they heard growls from us. We were causing attention now, we had to hurry before it would get to worst!"We are here!" Baron halted in front of the wide and high iron gate."Aren't we going in?" I asked whil
Matthew POV "Riona!" I screamed her name with mixed emotions I couldn't define. Lust?! Maybe! Love?! No way! After releasing my desire, I felt something stirring inside. It was so foreign. So enigmatic. So... "Argh!" so painful that I yelped in pain as I rolled over beside her arching my body like something inside would want to come out but couldn't. It wasn't Argo. I couldn't scent him now. "Matthew!" I heard her call my name but my eyes couldn't see anything except darkness. I could feel my hands were shifting to claws, my head was turning to half-wolf, d*mn it the pain behind my back was ripping me off. I gripped the mattress tearing it with my claws. I gritted my teeth but my mouth was forced to open when my fangs came out. "Matthew, are you shifting now?" Riona questioned, her voice was trembling but h*ck I couldn't see her. What's the matter with me? "Get out, Riona! I don't wanna hurt you. Get out!" I growled in a human voice as I fell viol
