FRANCESCA
"Speak to me, oh legendary wolf! For over a century, I thought the moon goddess wiped you all from the face of the earth." He paused for a moment before concluding, "To punish me!"
"You deserve death, and that I shall gladly give you if you don't let me go from your captivity!" Frost warned him sternly as I watched what was unfolding from the back of her mind.
"Thousands have tried to do so, but yet, I live!"
"Not for long. Your brother is dead, and so will you soon."
Frost seemed to know things greater than my understanding, and her last words had struck a nerve in Alexandros, seeing his forehead veins sprang up in anger.
"My brother, Hector, was weak compared to me! He died quickly, not being able to live without the source of our immortality for just a hundred years ... and now, I have found you. The key to my immortality and more power."
"You enslaved so many and forcefully took from the helpless for over five hundred years. What in goddess's name would make you think I will submit to you, dark Alpha king Alexandros?"
"I only did what was necessary for the greater good of the pack, AND my name. Now, Lockwood pack is the most fearsome pack in the entire world, and with my brother gone now, I will be in charge of his region and control everything to my will. You will submit to me, whether you like it or not!"
"Begun, Alexandros. You are not in any way part of those I have made a list to get my revenge. But if you wish to continue with your attempt to take my heart, I shall kill you and send your rotten soul to the moon goddess for further punishment."
"Is that a threat?" He sneered, a wicked grin playing on his lips.
"You, of all people, should know my kind does not do threats. We make promises and keep to them. You have so many enemies waiting for you to make even the slightest mistake ... it would be so easy to bring you down then."
"Let them come! There is a reason why I am the dark Alpha King."
"You will die, either from their hands or from your fading immortality. How could you take young virgins from countless packs, sleeping and torturing them to your will for generations, and expect the moon goddess not to take back her gift of immortality she granted you?"
"Everything got boring after a couple of centuries; I needed to spice things up!" He barked. "And besides, that was very little," he gestured with his fingers. "...Compared to how much they owe me for protection and providing."
Their conversation got intense. I, for one, was surprised at how much my wolf could hold her ground against the all-powerful Alexandros. Then I compared myself with her and wondered if we were indeed the same person.
Obviously not.
She's like a different personality altogether. I still don't know what type of wolf the moon goddess gave me, but I do know she is very powerful. Maybe able to match king Alexandros himself.
The thought of it sent shivers through my veins.
To think she has been with me all these years. In my suffering, in my agony, in my distress. If anyone understood me to the fullest, it would be her.
She saved me from being buried alive when I shifted unknowingly at the funeral. Although this handsome Alpha king came to our rescue when she lost control and killed most people, I believe she is nice behind all that anger inside of her.
I spotted a flash of light in Alexandros's hand while he circled around us speaking. But the unexpected leap of Frost to bite off his head at a close call distracted me.
Sadly, she was held back by the heavy chains, groaning in anger.
"Enough talk," he spoke in a thick ancient accent, staring at us from below. "Once I am done consuming your heart, I will regain my immortality at its fullest. It's the full moon already."
He brought out a small dagger from the back of his hand, raising it high for us to see. "Do you know what this is?" He asked mischievously, but Frost only growled.
"It's a spiritual item capable of killing you, seeing how strong you are. I have successfully killed four others before you with this, and now it's your turn."
On the small dagger were written some ancient inscriptions that I could not understand.
Suddenly, he slit his wrist open with the dagger faster than my eyes could follow, and blood came dripping down to the ground.
That was when I noticed the inscriptions also written in the ground, circling around me, and fear consumed me for what he might do next.
His blood dripped and dropped on the writings in the ground before they changed to an even darker red.
Alexandros shut his eyes and murmured some incantations before me.
That was when my wolf decided to use the opportunity to attack once again.
I didn't know what she did, but Alexandros started screaming in pain as he held his head in his hands.
"Stop it! Urgghh!!"
The dagger fell to the ground from his hand as he curved his body in pain.
Eventually, when he raised his head, his eyes showed their true colors. I saw death before me.
They were bright red, more like in constant flames of fury.
Suddenly, his aura changed, and my heart sank.
The dagger on the ground flew to his hand as he confidently closed the distance between us, not hesitating or contemplating how my wolf would attack next.
Suddenly, a consuming fire sprung out of my wolf's mouth against Alexandros.
I could swear on my life the intensity was enough to melt the strongest rod in the world today in an instant, but surprisingly, the Alpha king was shielding himself with one hand and holding the dagger in the other hand.
His custom robe had been extinguished completely as he became naked in the fight against my wolf.
"Ahhhhhhh!"
I wondered who screamed in pain just now.
I blinked my eyes a couple of times, not believing who was inches away from my face.
His eyes slowly softened, his expression showing concern all of a sudden.
Then, I looked down at my chest, where a dagger was placed, with my blood gushing out before losing consciousness completely.
ALEXANDROS"What nonsense is this?" I stare at her, lying somewhat lifeless in my arms, while breathing heavily from the intense fight against her wolf just now.Is she dead? No, this can't be. Her wolf immediately returned to human form as I was about to stab its heart."Wake up, girl! I don't have time for nonsense games."I take out the dagger resting on her chest, and blood starts gushing out on my face, making me grow angrier.What did this legendary wolf just do?!She recaptures my attention when I see the severe stab I had given her on her chest slowly closing up.She just healed? That means she's alive."Proving stubborn, my dear? Why don't I teach you a lesson to wake up quicker next time, huh?"I was naked, and fortunately, my sexual appetite is always high at any fucking time.Surely, she doesn't expect me to use CPR on her. I'm not that graceful to anyone, not even my second chance mate!Without wasting much time, I position my hardness in her mouth."How about that, huh?
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
