“Take her to the Alpha’s office. He wants to see the whore we had been fucking chasing for three years.” The second time I woke up, I realised late that I was being dragged out of the cell towards the Alpha Kane’s office.
The frantic fear pulsed like a living thing inside me as the guard dragged me inside the room. I was shaken and terrified yet the fear gave me courage -courage I had never seen before. The guard twisted his fingers and pushed me down to a kneeling position. My dirty, tangled hair fell in front of me as I closed my eyes shut immediately and prayed for my life.
“Raise her head. I want to see her face,” I heard the Alpha speak.
The guard grabbed my hair and pulled it up until I did come face to face with the Alpha.
As soon as my gaze locked with his, I felt full. I maintained the struggle within me and didn’t flinch at his sight but I couldn’t control what I was feeling in between my legs. My mate!
It was unbelievable but he was mine, and I was his. We were mates.
I was mated to him. My wolf was already getting excited.
He also realised it because out of the blue his gorgeous blue eyes turned dark then he started to fume with anger.
“Let her go and leave”, He snapped at the guards and the beta then he approached me with his jaws clenched with anger.
As soon as they walked out, he approached me i’mmediately but with his jaws clenched with anger.
The room fell silent as the last of the guards left, and I was left alone with him. I could feel the weight of his presence, his dominance filling the space between us, making it suffocating. The Alpha was closer now, his eyes never leaving mine. There was a strange intensity in his gaze—one I couldn’t quite place.
My pulse quickened, my heart a loud drum in my chest, and yet I didn’t dare move. Every part of me screamed to run, to escape, but I couldn’t. His very presence was magnetic, pulling me in, making my body betray my thoughts. I could feel his gaze drop from my face to the rest of me, lingering on the ragged clothes that clung to my body, the dirt and grime that had accumulated over years of running.
“Never in my life did I think that the moon goddess will curse me with a rogue to be my mate” , He spoke more to himself but with his glare lingering on my dirty body.
“I won’t reject you. You’re going to be useful, rogue,” he murmured, his voice dangerously soft. “One way or another.”
Before I could spit out a retort, his hand shot out and grabbed my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze. “I’m gonna let you live in my pack for the sake of my pack, I need a heir and you will do well as my breeder”,
The words hit me like a slap, cold and biting. As a breeder?!. The way he said it.
I felt like I was nothing, like I will never be something in his life more than a breeder. It immediately sent a searing pain through my chest. The bond that connected us, the undeniable force pulling me toward him, now felt like a cruel twist of fate.
I wanted to respond, to lash out at him for his words, for the way he dismissed me so easily. But I couldn’t. My breath caught in my throat, and I felt the sting of his rejection deep in my bones. My wolf, the part of me that shared this bond, whimpered at his words. We were mates—how could he degrade me like this?
“I’m not just a breeder,” I said, my voice trembling with a mixture of hurt and anger. “You don’t get to define me like that.”
His eyes flashed with something dark, something possessive, but it only made the pain deeper. The way he looked at me, the raw emotion that flickered behind his gaze, almost made me forget the venom in his words. Almost.
“You are mine,” He snarled, his voice low and filled with frustration. “And whether you like it or not, that’s what you’ll be. I’ll make sure of it.”
The room felt like it was closing in around me, the weight of his words pressing against my chest. I wanted to fight back, to stand up for myself, but it felt like there was no winning in this. The bond between us, the connection I could no longer ignore, made it almost impossible to stand my ground.
“I won’t be your prisoner,” I whispered, my hands shaking, trying to hold onto some semblance of control.
He stepped more closer, his gaze never leaving mine. “You won’t have a choice,” he growled, his tone cold and final. “You are my mate. You’ll bear my children. You’ll submit.”
A wave of defiance rose within me, stronger than the fear that gripped my heart. No matter what he said, no matter how he tried to control me, I would never be just what he wanted me to be. I was more than that.
“I don’t care about your power,” I said through gritted teeth. “I will never submit to you like that. Not now. Not ever.”
The Alpha’s jaw clenched, his nostrils flaring as if he was trying to control the storm brewing inside of him. His fists tightened at his sides, and I could see the struggle within him. But his pride, his desire to dominate, was stronger than anything else.
“You’ll learn to accept your place,” he muttered, stepping even closer until I could feel the heat of his body radiating against mine. “Whether you want to or not.”
The bond between us surged once again, undeniable, fierce. But even with that force pulling me toward him, I refused to back down. I might be his mate, but I would not be his to command.
Not without a fight.
“You think you can make me submit just because of this bond?” I asked, my voice shaking, but there was strength in it, a stubbornness that even I hadn’t known I possessed.
“Watch and see”, He walked away from me then went back to his table.
“Come for her”, He added then the guards immediately entered in the room. “Take her to whorehouse”, He spoke as the guards gripped my hands.
“Whorehouse?”, I froze immediately.
I showered up, getting rid of the soreness of my muscles. I had never worked out in my life before and exerting my body so much in a single day has taken its toll. I had cramps everywhere.I heard some voices coming from downstairs. I couldn't recognize them. I mulled over the fact that I should go and check it out because it could be Nikolai's business partner. His business partners were not the kind of people you want to make a conversation with.But then I heard a shrill female voice.I went out of the door and stood at the top of the stairwell. Still, all I heard were the voices. I went downstairs and saw a tall, lean middle-aged man with a young blonde woman standing beside him. I could only see their side profiles. The woman turned and I sucked in a sharp breath.It was Grace Russell, Nikolai's wife-to-be. I know because I had attended their engagement. Her face was engraved at the back of my mind, the sight when Nikolai had slipped the ring on her finger replayed in my head on
"Have you ever worked out before?" he asked.I looked around with wide eyes. "Does running around in the gardens count?""No,""Then no, I have not""Come on, let's do a little warm-up first then I'll teach you how to box."My mouth hung open. "Box? As in boxing?"He heaved a sigh. "I want you to learn how to defend yourself, Natalya."I thought for a while before I nodded. Turns out, I don't even know what warm-up is, he had to tell me everything. The thing that annoyed me the most was his tone, he was speaking to me like I was a child and repeating his words so, that I'd understand clearly.Another thing that annoyed me was his toned muscles, and his stupid sculpted chest.When it was time to step into the boxing ring, Alessandro handed me a pair of boxing gloves. I was about to put them on but he came to me and put them on me himself as if I don't know how to put the stupid gloves on.I rolled my eyes and out of nowhere Alessandro gently smacked the back of my head. "Roll your eyes
Someone pounded on my bedroom door waking me up from my deep slumber. I groaned and stuffed my face back into the pillow to block out the sound coming from the door. The knocking intensified, whoever it was, didn't really have much patience.I sat up and glanced at the wall clock. It was only six o'clock in the morning. I rubbed my eyes to rid of the grogginess, tossed the duvet aside, got to my feet, and headed for the door. I opened it and was met with an unknown face. She was wearing the uniform the household help used to wear."What?" I asked."Don Alessandro had requested you to freshen up and wear this before you come downstairs."Frowning, I took the clothes from her and noticed that they were gym clothes. I heaved a sigh, I liked it better when I could say no to him but I dug my own grave when I promised him that I'd listen to him and follow his rules but that's all there was to it.I'm not the same girl who had a massive crush on him.I closed the bedroom door and glanced at
"I'll make sure to do everything he did to you... but his torture will be a hundred times worse," he whispered softly.His one hand was in my hair while the other was on my cheek caressing it with his knuckles. I leaned into his touch, feeling the security and comfort I used to feel when I first met him."They all took turns in beating me up, they laughed whenever I screamed in pain," I said as tears rolled down my cheeks and dripped down to the ground.His hand left my hair as he cupped my face with both of his hands. He tugged me closer. "I will make their death an object of ridicule."I looked into his eyes. "Promise?"He let out a deep breath with a hint of a smile."Promise," he declared. "Do you want to see it happen?"I considered it and then shook my head. I don't think I have the stomach for that much violence. "No...""Do you want to go home now?"I looked up at him. It's hard to forget what Alessandro did to me too and the fact that he was engaged was the hardest pill I eve
I had my headphones on as I continuously flipped the pages of the book that was before me. I hadn't read a word, the music blasted in my ears blocking out all the other sounds.I slammed the book shut and got off my bed. Alessandro had called Sabrina earlier, I knew that he did because Sabrina and I hadn't talked after his whole engagement fiasco.I pretended to be asleep while Sabrina waited for me.I didn't wake up until she finally gave up and left the house.I got to my feet, straightened out my dress, and headed downstairs. His house was crawling with his soldiers, they all tried to avoid making eye contact with me.They were moving some stuff into the house, some furniture, suitcases, and whatnot. Was Alessandro redecorating?I hopped onto the couch and put on the TV at full volume. Someone grabbed the remote out of my hand and turned the volume down.I huffed and looked up to see Alessandro looking down at me. He placed both of his hands on the headrest of the couch and dipped
She turned her back towards us and went into the kitchen. Probably to cook breakfast for herself, she didn't know how to cook shit."I'll be right back," I said to Scott, who nodded still clenching his hands like he wanted to punch something or someone. It won't be Natalya, I will fucking break his hand off before he does that.I followed her into the kitchen and saw her using her cell phone while she placed some of the ingredients on the counter. It looked like she wanted to make pancakes. She played a video and placed it before her while she followed whatever the lady in the video was narrating."Do you remember the rules?"She stopped whatever she was doing and glanced at me, her facial expression was bored, uninterested."I remember" she answered and before I could say anything she added. "But I could care less for them"Rage coursed through my veins. She was testing me, trying hard for me to slip up so she could hold it against me."Natalya, don't disrespect my men. I won't toler
