FRANCESCA
I heard screams as my wolf moved against my will towards everyone present at the burial ceremony.
Killing, chewing, and clawing out individuals that I came in contact with.
I couldn't control it. My heart raced as numerous questions flooded my mind.
'Stop! Stop killing people!' I cried in my head, but it fell on deaf ears.
"She's a witch! Get that bitch!" I heard the Alpha king's warriors plan to capture me.
I'm not a witch. I am a helpless Omega who has known nothing but suffering all her life. No one loved me from birth, not even my own mother.
'That's right! No one loves you, and you should appreciate that I'm here to save you.' A voice echoed in my head.
'Really?'
'I will make sure they pay. All the secrets and lies will be revealed soon!'
'Secrets and lies, what do you mean?'
As my wolf was about to claw out another Alpha king's warrior's head, a figure appeared out of nowhere and stood in front of us. The atmosphere became calm suddenly as we stared into his bright red eyes while he stretched out his hands towards us in a welcoming manner. He smelled delicious, and I could eat him that moment, not until a word came.
"MATE!"
My wolf claws scraped the ground to halt her steps so as not to clash against him before us.
I spotted a smile twitch in his lips as my wolf lay low in front of him. He had calmed her, and I felt both glad and confused at the same time.
Suddenly, I felt like I was shrinking in size. Soon, I found myself smaller in the presence of the dominant figure in front of me. I swallowed hard, unable to move, as his eyes studied me.
My vision became dizzy, and I fell, but the ground I touched felt firm and smooth instead of hard.
*****
My head was heavy as I slowly opened my eyes.
Something smelled good. I recognized this scent; it was the same scent I smelled in my dream just now.
Oh my!
I held my breath as I regained consciousness, and my eyes fell on the black leather jacket covering my naked body.
Soon, my eyes raised and turned to my left to see the same man I remembered calling "MATE" in my dream just now.
This isn't a dream!
I couldn't move again as I became lost in his manly jaw and wicked mustache. We were in a moving car, and he was staring ahead, but I felt like he was watching me. Soon, he turned to face me.
My heart raced as we locked eyes. I fought to look away, but I couldn't, and his voice cleared the intense silence in the backseat where we sat.
"You're awake. Welcome to my territory." His lips twitched in the most perfect smile I had ever seen, and my heart raced. Aside from that, his rather ancient accent was pleasant.
That's when I turned my gaze outside the window to see convoys and trailers following behind us, filled with gallant warriors. I swallowed hard and turned my gaze back to him, but he was smiling at me.
Who was he?
Soon, we reached his mansion, and I felt small at the entrance.
"Allow me to show you around?" He stretched forth his hand towards me as I stared at the huge mansion before me, resembling a castle. I had never been in such a luxurious place before, let alone like this. "Don't worry, I don't bite." He added.
I swallowed and gently took his hand. Immediately, we came in contact; I felt sparks fly between us. More importantly, I felt him vulnerable for a moment, and it showed in his expression.
Soon, we had surveyed the living room, the main kitchen, training grounds, and now we were in the bedroom. I didn't know whose it was, but I could take a guess by just looking at the size and luxury.
'Is this all real?' I asked myself as I squeezed myself inside the jacket that smelled like him.
"This ... is my bedroom," he said firmly, turning his gaze towards me with a slight smile that I could never get tired of seeing.
"Really ... it's so huge, beautiful, and luxurious."
"Of course, it is," he said. "Leave us."
"Yes, Alpha king."
He ordered the muscular warriors following us all this while away, leaving just the two of us alone in the entrance of the room.
"It's beautiful, just like you." His finger found my chin and directed my face towards him.
I must admit, I felt attracted to this godlike man who unbelievably happens to be my mate. How did my miserable life turn into a disney dream in such a short moment?
His hands found mine, and he placed them over his shoulders, making my cheeks blush.
"What is your name?" I asked curiously.
"For you, call me Alex."
"Are you sure? I heard your servants call you Alpha king, and I am not quite sure if..."
He kissed me, shutting me up instantly. I felt shivers run down my body.
As if that wasn't enough, his hands located my waist and pulled me closer in his hold.
His lips devoured mine like he was very hungry for how I tasted, and it was extremely good.
Suddenly, the doors closed without him touching them, and he moved me to the bed. We separated to catch our breath, staring at each other with passion in our eyes.
But I couldn't wait for him any longer and kissed him again. He removed my jacket and what I was wearing underneath, exposing me as he pushed me onto the bed.
He unzipped his pants and jumped on top of me.
After endless passionate kisses and thunderous growls from him, he raised my legs up as he shoved his hardness inside my wet entrance.
Thrusting in and out of me as I moaned to incredible pleasures.
"How? How is my second chance mate this sweet?" He grunt under his breath heavily.
ALEXANDROSThat was rather surprising, amazing, in fact. Never have I felt so good in centuries. The goddess sure knows her stuff.I stared down at the figure before me as if she were my long-lost treasure. Sound asleep, she looked stunning. I must admit, her allure was undeniable.Although it's a shame I would have to overlook all that when it's time for the ritual, and sadly, her death.She rolls towards me; her hand finds my bare chest and rests there, eliciting a smirk from my lips.She was sweet in bed. If this keeps up, I might get addicted.The next full moon is in two days. Surely, she can't escape it now that she's in my territory.My hands run through her brown, curly hair as I ponder how long I have been looking for her.I sense her eyes watching me, and I was correct as they slowly opened while she woke up."You look beautiful," I complimented. Surely, I should give her credit even once before the D-day.She smiled and responded softly, "Thank you ... Alex."Alex? No! You'
FRANCESCA"Let me go! I said, 'Let me go!'" I struggled, but it was in vain.I couldn't discern if it was night or day as the shaft descended below the earth. I was being taken somewhere, and I could sense it was unholy.My skin crawled as we descended, fear gripping me.Soon, we landed, and two muscular warriors dragged me to 'my room,' as the Alpha king had instructed.Except, I was forcibly restrained with silver chains on both wrists, separating them. Another adorned my neck, bearing a wolf symbol. My legs weren't spared either.They appeared heavy at first glance, but once on me, they were surprisingly lightweight.The presence of someone sent shivers down my spine as he approached, I raised my miserable gaze locking eyes with his dangerously red stare."Enjoying your room, my dear?" A wicked smile twitched his lips, a stark contrast to the first smile I saw when he saved me."Why are you doing this to me? I need answers and I need them fast.""Hahahaha ... this is spectacular!"
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
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
