Alpha Selene.Somewhere in Romania, near Bucharest.As I observed the elegant ballroom, one could sense the air of sophistication and regal ambiance. The venue was magnificently decorated with lush draperies, ornate chandeliers, and glittering candlesticks. The walls were adorned with exquisite paintings, telling stories of grandeur and elegance."My lady, is everything okay?" Alpha Jackson's voice rang in my mind and I just nodded with a forced smile because my thoughts were elsewhere.At 21, I was still unmated and I was beginning to think I was being punished by the goddess for my past sins.I heaved a sigh while looking at the center of the room which was occupied by a grand dance floor. It is a vast expanse of gleaming hardwood, filled with elegantly dressed couples, gracefully twirling and swaying to the melodious tunes of a live orchestra.How I wish I could dance like the ladies, I admired.The guests were all dressed in their finery, flaunting their haute couture gowns, tuxedo
Alpha Selene,Holy cow!!! The goddess gave me two identical mates. I stood frozen for a moment as butterflies fluttered in my stomach. I was so nervous I did not know whether to be happy or sad about my predicament.What was I going to do? It's not like I was the first female who was mated to two mates at the same time in five decades in my pack and lived to tell the tale... If I could remember correctly, the last she-wolf to be fated to two mates was stripped naked and dipped into a wolfsbane pool until she was pronounced dead by the elders when they learned of the news. My core knotted as I yearned for them even more.'You prayed for a mate and the goddess granted you two.' My wolf chuckled hysterically and I made an effort to shush it 'wrong timing snow,' I answered back and she snickered.'Look at this on the bright side, you get to taste two different flavors of hunks on different days.' My wolf did not give me a break as it knew how badly I had prayed for this day.I took shor
Alpha Selene.A few minutes later in the meeting chamber… an hour after midnight.I straightened my back as I settled onto my throne, tapping my fingers lightly on the armrest, the weight of my position pressing down on me heavily as I sometimes hated being Alpha because I dreaded such awful spotlight moments on me.The room was frigid even though it warmed by a pit fire that was in the center of the chamber. My elder's chairs were placed in a curve position to face the fire on my left side.I glanced at my three elders, namely, Leon (the old ever so grumpy hag who interrupted my session with the hunks), Lucius( the understanding one amongst all my elders), and Evander( a blind follower to Leon), their wise and expectant gazes fixed on Alpha Sebastian and Alpha Damon, who stood on my right, inbound silver chains without shirts covering their delicious toned chest which were covered in distinct tribal tattoos I had never seen before. I frowned slightly for a brief moment.Maybe they wer
Alpha Selene."Damon," I gasped breathlessly as I was not expecting him. "The one and only, cupcake, "He appeared before me, his tall, muscular form towering over me. His damp glorious messy hair hung freely to his shoulders. I swallowed nervously."Why are you here, when your elders clearly told you to stay away from us?" He looked at me with dark, intense eyes, practically undressing me with his sly gaze. My breathing hitched as my body unconsciously stepped into the holding cell, the mate bond calling to my soul like a flame to a moth."um, I..." I stuttered faintly as tried to find the perfect words to respond to him.The dim lighting cast an eerie shadow, adding a layer of unease to the space… I quickly evaded his stare and scanned the room. It was a tiny space with only a single bed without blankets and a stinky toilet in the corner.I took in the meticulous arrangements designed to contain and neutralize my mate's dangerous nature. The air hung heavy with the scent of dampness
Alpha Sebastian.Somewhere near the Serbian rainforest, my brother and I felt our mind-link with our pack members break, one by one, as we proceeded with our journey to find sanctuary..."Damon, stop being lazy and walk faster," I hissed, frustrated by his lack of motivation."Brother, I need to rest. My feet are sore from running," Damon gasped, struggling to catch his breath as we neared the boundaries of an unknown pack. "Argh," I groaned with frustration because he was slowing us down. "It's best if we rest after we find civilization," I suggested and Damon groaned in disagreement as he kept dragging himself behind me.Suddenly, I stopped in my tracks as I caught a sweet, pungent scent of jasmine and vanilla, causing my mouth to salivate.The scent was so alluring and inviting, it made my heart race as my cock twitched. I instinctively knew that it must have been the mate bond calling to my soul."Mine," I growled, my voice filled with possessiveness. Then my ears gave attention
Alpha Sebastian.Beta Xander??? Who was he and why was he standing so close to my mate? I narrowed my eyes at him and he smirked mischievously.Elder Leon raised his cane in mid-air and everyone became silent."The two men you see before you are Alpha Sebastian and Alpha Damon shepherd of the midnight pack from Romania." Elder Leon began. "There are both our lady's fated mates and before we crown an Alpha from the brothers," he paused then raised an eyebrow as the crowd listened alternatively. " The men will undergo three challenges to determine a victor who will rule by our lady's side… the first quest is a hunt in the nightshade forest," He said, then looked at me and my brother.The crowd exchanged puzzled glances and murmured inaudibly amongst each other... What gives? I frowned slightly at their behavior change.Elder Lucius stepped forward, "Gentlemen, a few miles in that direction," he pointed toward the eerie-looking forest with his finger. " There lays a dark forbidden fores
Alpha Selene.After a nerve-wracking encounter with my uncle Xander, who caught me sneaking out of Damon's cell, he surprised me by just asking about the origin of the twins and why I couldn't choose one when given the chance by the elders.Feeling a mix of emotions, I retreated to my room in the castle, seeking solace in the one thing that always calmed me down: my hidden golden box. Carefully unwrapping a small piece of plastic, I discovered two red pills inside. Overwhelmed by the pressure of choosing one mate over the other, I decided to ingest them.Within seconds of swallowing the pills, my vision became hazy and I collapsed onto my king-sized bed, large enough to accommodate both me and my mates.Why couldn't I have both??? "Stupid ancient rules," I murmured as I lay there, my mind filled with images of Damon, who had been at the forefront of my thoughts since our recent encounter in his cell. Suddenly, he appeared before me, shirtless and dripping wet, as if he had just stepp
Alpha Selene,Back at the Castle, in the living room area, the mid-morning sun spilled through the tall arched windows, creating a warm and homely ambiance. However, my stubborn elders, Leon and Evander, disturbed the tranquility."My lady, it was an insult to order the warriors to bring the two brothers here. What will the elders of Silverstone say when they arrive this evening? We cannot allow the brothers to stay here," Elder Leon exclaimed, stomping his foot on the floor. I sneered and rolled my eyes."Why should I be concerned if the elders of Silverstone meet my unclaimed mates this evening? It's not as if I have accepted both of them. Why is everyone getting worked up about nothing?" I retorted, placing my hands on my hips."Yes, Alpha, Leon is right. The presence of these men in your home will cause a great scandal with our allies before either one of them is crowned Alpha male," Elder Evander chimed in. But I didn't care.Damon and Sebastian were my fated mates and one of the
