MATED TO THE COLD BLOODED ALPHA

It rained heavily the night my parents died.Up till this day, the events leading to their death remain fresh in my memory. It was a night I would never forget.We had a feast and we invited the Alpha of a neighbor pack, Alpha Demontes. Alpha Demontes was the Alpha of the Black Fur pack, a pack that had been notorious for stealing, raping and killing stray wolves from other packs over the years and I had frowned all through the feast, wondering why my father had decided to invite a man who allowed evil thrive in his pack to our feast. My father, Alpha Michael was the Alpha of our own pack, the Silver Moon pack and he was well known amongst the wolves of the neighboring packs as a strong and free spirited Alpha. He was a blessing to our pack as all through his reign, we grew in strength and numbers and eventually became the strongest pack in the West.When I looked into the dark eyes of Alpha Demontes that night, I knew that he did not have good intentions. There was something benign a

“Ahhhhh!” Graham’s scream rent the air. “I swear I would tell you everything I know.”“Then you’d better start talking already,” I muttered, dangling his ring finger in front of him. “Or you’ll lose the pinkie next.”Graham sobbed and banged his head back against the wall hard enough to crack his skull.“Don’t even dare,” I warned him. “Would be a shame if I didn’t get to kill you myself.”I didn’t feel an atom of pity for the old man sitting on the floor of the dungeon. He was Graham, my father’s chief guard and I had found out a few months after my father’s death that he had planned everything from the negotiation down to the dinner party with Alpha Demontes. It came as a shock to me then because I didn’t expect that a person like Graham would want to harm my father. Father was always good to him. Ever since I found out about his involvement in the massacre of my family, I made it a duty to celebrate him for his evil deeds. Once every year, I visited him in the dungeons to make a b

Like every other night in the Black Fur pack, the sky was starless. I could hear my wolf mutter some curse words in my head and I couldn’t blame her much for it. The sight of my father, Alpha Demontes kissing an old witch was enough to make the both of us sick. I turned away before Freyacould make an eye contact with me but it was too late. She had seen me watching them and she smiled.“You care to join us princess?” she offered.Her two tongues slithered like a snake’s as she talked and the thought of that thing in my dad’s mouth made me want to puke. Disgusting.“I’d rather join the warriors,” I grunted and turned away.My father disconnected from her and turned to stare at me. “Go get me a glass of wine Freya honey,” he smiled at the witch.She smiled back at him and stood up to get the wine and he turned back to face me.“You know you’re not very nice to her,” he eyed me.I didn’t reply him. I tried my best to focus on the food I was eating. I couldn’t bring myself to look up at

it had been three days since I escaped from my father’s pack and things weren’t getting any better. The first problem was that I was tired and hungry. The second was that I was lost, and the third was that for the first time in eighteen years, my father had sent out his wolves on a hunt unannounced, a hunt for the rogue princess, Antonella. I wasn’t sure of his exact commands to them if they found me but from the whispers I overheard a few times in the woods, it wasn’t something very good. Nala wasn’t making matters any better for me. She kept sulking and complaining about how we had been better fed at the pack house and how I had ruined everything by running away, as if it wasn’t her that advised me to run! A few times, I had to resist the urge to yell at her to shut up because she was beginning to get on my nerves.I stopped at the base of a pine tree and sat down on the floor to rest. My feet were sore from walking for days and my mouth was dry. I wondered if there were any animals

Maybe fate is indeed a fickle mistress. I could not come to the terms of what had just happened. My arms and legs began to tremble immediately. I could not control the tears that flowed from my eyes as the whole incident flashed before my eyes again. The whole painful incident of watching my parents being murdered.Bile formed in my throat almost immediately. Anger and pain was an understatement to describe how I felt that very minute. I could not take it in anymore so I turned to return inside.“Are you fine, Alpha?” Dan questioned, with so much concern evident in his voice. No. I did not want to look weak right in front of him. I did not want to look like a weak Alpha. I looked away from him as I did not want him to see the pain sliding down my eyes in the form of tears.“I am fine” I answered with all confidence and I was grateful my voice did not fail me as it sounded as firm as it would always sound.“If there is anything…..”“I am fine!” I yelled almost immediately. My pain had

The night was cold and so, I embraced myself as that was the only way I could shield myself from the cold. My lips began to quiver as well as because of the cold. The dungeon walls were not helping either as it seemed like it aided the cold.The moon reflected into the space I was and I stood up, realizing the full moon was out. Of course, I was so weak and tired but I gathered the little strength I had left in me to walk closer to the reflection of the moon in my space.A tear fell from my eyes as I knew I was finally paying for my Father’s crime. I had no idea whom the young man was but everything about him seemed familiar. Father had often returned home with a lot of scents when I was much younger. Scents of the body of his prey. Perhaps, Father had tried to kill him or something?I silently prayed to the moon goddess within me to help me out f the mess I had gotten myself into. I had left the house simply because I was fed up with all Father was doing and his cruelty. What then ha

The clanking sound of metal coupled with the early morning sun grazing my skin made me flicker my eyes open although my eyelids were still heavy and threatened to shut itself. I was not sure of what was going on as I still could not embrace reality. My head ached and so did every other part of my body. The bed was far from okay.It was far from comfortable and I really wanted to cuss at Father for making me go through such. If only he has been nice…. I held my head as I looked up at the stranger who was at the door. Utter displeasure was registered in his eyes as he stared at me like I had done something very terrible to him.“Here is your meal” He pushed the door opened slightly and passed what I believed was my food beneath the door and then shut it immediately, perhaps so I would not escape. I stared at the meal and then at him, wondering what I was to do with it. I could not imagine how I was supposed to eat that.I looked at the food and then cringed at the sight. It was so bad.

A gazillion thoughts crossed my mind all at the same time. Even though I tried to pretend not to see it, I could see fear obvious and evident in her eyes as soon as she heard me request for the whip.“If whipping me will make you believe that I have done nothing and I have nothing against you, then so be it. Kill you if you want but there is nothing I have against you” She spoke, her voice laced with fear.I froze almost immediately on the spot as I could pretend.I was quite hurt and broken. I stormed out immediately and headed back to my room, holding my head so tight as I was beginning to lose my mind.“Do you still think she is guilty?” Fur questioned. That was the last thing I wanted to hear.“Stop! Don’t do that! Don’t say a word!” I yelled almost immediately, holding my head so tight like I would pull it off. Why was everything getting so complicated to figure out? Antonella’s presence was making things even more difficult for me to handle.There was possibly no way she could b

“Cole?” I raised my brows, staring at the stranger. He was the last person I had expected to see that minute.“Cole” I embraced him quickly, a smile on my face. I had really missed him. After I had lost my friend; Antonella while growing up, he had somehow filed the void of course, until a particular day when he suddenly went missing.My whole life seemed to have taken a new turn ever since he was gone and I had no choice but to adapt to the new life I found myself in. Cole looked up at me and I could tell he was confused. He had no idea who I was. I had changed so much. He on the other hand, still looked the same like he was when he was little.“I am sorry” Letting go of him was the best way to get rid of the awkwardness between us. He bowed and stretched forth the letter he had come to deliver to me.I still could not understand how he had ended up being a delivery man for some rogues or whoever it was that had sent the letter.Not taking my eyes off him, I took the letter and read
