FRANCESCAThe last thing I recall was seeing Alexandros, my mate, so close to me, and my chest being brutally stabbed by him.Gradually, my vision returns, and the earlier sharp pain in my chest has subsided now.I don't know how long I've been unconscious, but I hope I didn't die.Or perhaps I should have.After all, suffering is what awaits me in my mate's captivity.'Why would you say that when you have me now?'That voice... It's in my head.'Frost?!' I called out to her.'Watch closely, Francesca, as I set us free from this bastard called Alexandros.'It was all dark before, but with Frost's words, came a small opening of light that kept widening until I saw who was before me.My eyes widened as I felt my body moving against my will again, and something solid inside me made me uncomfortable.I could sense all the emotions, but I couldn't do anything about it.Alexandros stood before me, cradling me in his hands as I gazed into his eyes.His red eyes were strange, as if they had b
FRANCESCA"FREE ME FROM MY SHACKLES, ALEXANDROS, AND LET ME OUT OF THIS PLACE. ORDER ALL YOUR WARRIORS TO STAND DOWN AS WELL" Frost said firmly."No one will touch you while I'm here!" Alexandros barked, passion in his eyes."I will free you, senorita. And then we can do it in the bedroom, the kitchen..." He paused and rubbed his thumb against my cheek with a smirk. "Even in the bathroom."Next thing I saw, Alexandros stretched his hand backward, and a warrior, badged in, bowed his head slightly.He knelt and handed him a key.I was surprised by the act. Did Frost just tell Alpha King Alexandros what to do, and he obeyed without question?"Now I can't wait any longer," Alexandros spoke, a seductive tone in his voice, as he gently bit the key."Yes, neither can I," Frost responded."Hahaha... you're a sweet one."Alexandros unlocked one of my hands from the chains, and my eyes widened from the back of my mind.It's happening, it's really happening!"Next..." He made haste to unlock the
ALEXANDROSThings suddenly aren't going as planned.And the kiss I just gave this little brat confirmed that even further.Tsk! Was the trance I was lost in just now while being inside her all a facade? I can't believe this.I watched her eyes look up at me shyly after the kiss; her cheeks blushed even. This little brat doesn't even know what her wolf is and how to control her.A powerful wolf in the body of a small figure."You..." I called, and she flinched in fright."There's something more tricky playing here, and I'm well aware now that your wolf would have told you something.""Tell me... the scenario where your wolf chopped off my pretty concubine's head just now. Why wasn't I attacked instead?" I sneered.She mumbles.Does she think I'm here for games?"That's the catch, isn't it?" A wicked smile played on my lips."I don't know what to say," she whispered shyly."Don't fucking tell me that!!!"My fist clenched tight as I restrained every ounce of urge within me from clawing h
FRANCESCAFEW DAYS LATER...The suffering continues.Suffering at home and suffering in the hands of my mate. Where does it all come to an end?And to think I saw affection in his eyes when Frost called out, "Mate!" when we first met.I wonder if his wolf leaped in joy at the sight of me then. I wonder if the dark Alpha king Alexandros was actually affected by the mate bond.'He is,' Frost interrupted my train of thought.She most times comes to my aid like this when I'm lost or doubting things these past few days. She helps me find myself.'It doesn't seem like he is feeling the mate bond like we are, Frost.' I retorted.'Francesca, if he isn't, do you think I would have found the weakness in him to give him orders?Of course, yes! Our mate is strong, but still, the mate bond is stronger. For all we know, he may be good at hiding his true feelings.''Feelings? Did you just say feelings, Frost? He has no heart! He is as cold as ice!'She didn't respond this time and let what I said si
As he waited outside, a maid assisted me in putting on the red dress he had brought. Despite his rotten character, I was surprised he waited outside for me to change. I had half-expected him to watch me, or perhaps I secretly hoped he would?No... no, no. Control yourself, Francesca. He is not worth it. Alexandros isn't worth me giving him such a thought.After dressing, I stepped outside to find him and his bodyguard waiting in the expansive living room leading to the main entrance. His eyes studied me, and then he whispered something to his bodyguard before hurrying away."You, my dear, are seriously tempting me to offer the moon goddess an incredible offering for creating such a beauty as you. Damn! You look ravishing in that dress!" He extended his hand to me in a welcoming manner as he praised.His compliments were always delightful, sending butterflies dancing inside me. A complete contradicton to his character.Soon after finishing up at the mansion, we headed out in his car, a
"Who the fuck do you think you are?" she sneered.I easily got irritated. Her words somehow reminded me of the mockery and false names I endured when I was still an omega in my fake mother's house."What's your problem?" I asked with a darkened gaze.She hissed, rolled her eyes, and faced me again."You are. Who are you, anyway, to be given concubine number hundred so easily when the likes of us have worked our asses off to get to this point?"Oh, now I get it. She's jealous.But wait, why would anyone envy me and desire to be the concubine number 100 of this cold-hearted Alpha king? Was it even worth it?'Francesca. Alexandros is feared; the ladies adore that about him. Imagine being the favorite person of the most feared Alpha on earth?' My wolf, Frost, interrupted our argument."Look. I don't care about being number 100 or even number zero of Alexan... sorry, the Alpha king's concubine. You can have it for the goddess's sake." I retorted and relaxed my back on the chair."You arrog
ALEXANDROSAh yes!What I always like to see on her face. That surprised look somehow drives me crazier than I already am just staring at her.On our way here in my ride, she looked busty, full, and thick in the red dress I personally chose for her, and I couldn't stop myself from consistently staring at her.Truth be told, I had brought the same dress for my two other concubines to wear, with the plan to select the one who looked more beautiful among all three of them. Francesca seemed to top the list, and I quickly ordered my guard to inform the two concubines to change their dresses immediately to something else.Her skin glowed with those soft pink lips of hers! Her blue eyes were seductive anytime she looked my way. Damn!She caught me a few times staring, but who cares about that! My dick jerked numerous times from staring at her alone, but I told my wolf it wasn't time for that, and we needed to focus on more important things right now.After all, everything is going as I planne
FRANCESCA"Now, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you all my mate and Luna to the strongest Pack in the world..."What is he doing? Oh my goddess! I can't believe my ears!"Amy!"The crowd gasped, while my heart sank into my abdomen as concubine number 98 in the green dress stepped forward to hold Alexandros's welcoming hand.I felt my whole being irritated and angered in just the split seconds of him announcing her as the Luna, while I, his fated mate, have to settle for being his concubine.With a blissful smile, she took his hand as he brought her forward so the crowd could see.Everyone was in utter shock, myself included.Even Frost could not fathom the instant turn of events that the notorious Alpha was playing at."Now, I present to you Amy," he said the words slowly, and then, I caught a glimpse of his eyes staring my way from his shoulders. And I knew him catching me panting and confused as he betrayed our mate bond like this pleased his every being.There was just one probl
