He held my hands and then pulled me into his arms. His warm arms and muscles brought me a different kind of feeling, a feeling of safety or more that I couldn't decipher.
" Alpha Zeev, Interrupted Alpha Loki, that's my slave, " he said, pulling apart with his Sturdy hands. " Let her be, she's my slave, he growled, tugging my hands."
" Not anymore Loki, she's mine, " he spoke, yanking Alpha Loki's hands off me strongly.
" She's my mate and she's to head to my pack with me as my Luna, Alpha Zeev said, emphasising his words.
" What a surprising twist I'd say, the most ruthless Alpha seated here today is taking you Fenrir, a spineless wolf as his mate, you're not even a shifter are you, Alpha Loki jested.
" And on whose orders will she leave, she's mine, Zeev, take your hands off her, Alpha Loki glowered back at Alpha Zeev.
" You don't want to see whose orders she wants to follow, Loki, get off from my sight" Alpha Zeev snarled.
" You're going to have a much worse life being his luna than being my slave princess, your choice me or him," Alpha Loki asked proudly.
His sturdy arms around me made my erratic breathing calm, and the look in the eyes of the alphas seated was vivid enough to tell me that alpha Zeev was a burning inferno, but I felt safe with him.
I slowly held my hands back to Alpha Zeev's hand, standing behind him, I felt like I was being shielded from this world's cruelty.
" I'll be with Alpha Zeev," I said meekly behind the figure.
" Fenrir, I see you want to waste that useless life of yours, going with the devil" Alpha Loki growled. "My lady," Kayla called from a distance, her tearful eyes said it all, but I was adamant, I Felt at home with Alpha Zeev, security I'd not felt before.
" I stand firm in my decision, I'll choose to burn with this devil if that's what it takes to be away from you, I'd gladly give my life to be with this monster Loki", I said, gasping with each breath I took.
Alpha Zeev's POV
I looked back at the figure behind me and held her hand. " Are you ready yet?" I asked."
There was a slight tremble in my mate's voice, my Luna, I muttered again, not Minding the flush of heat that roared through me as she replied. " Not yet Alpha Zeev, I still have someone to take with me," she answered walking away from me.
" Let's leave Kayla," she said walking closer to the maid standing weakly by a pillar.
I scrunch my eyebrows, I'd not gotten to hold her in my arms and this maid was hugging tightly. " I thought I'd be doomed here my Lady," the maid spoke sniffing.
" Let's leave Kayla, " she held the maid's hands, and together they walked towards me, her pretty pale blue eyes shimmered from a distance, though they had gotten red from the stream of years she had cried, her long hair flowed rhythmically with every step she took.
I rubbed my hands around my stubble, feeling the embarrassing heat flushing through my face. My heart thumped violently Against its ribcage, I'd waited for this moment for years and the mate bond happened when my Luna was being kicked to my feet.
Her face was scrunched in pain from the distance, with streaks of blood from her waist. " Fenrir," I called softly, walking closer to her, just in time for her to fall into my arms.
" My lady, the maid screamed, you'll be fine my Lady, " she stuttered. " Be quiet and lead the way, " I said impatiently, carrying my Luna in my hand, I turned back to the crowd. " You'll pay for the pains you've caused her, in folds of what you cannot imagine," I swore and turned to leave.
" Haha, and tell me Zeev, what are you going to do with a wolf that cannot shift?" the taunting voice of the queen rang through the ball.
" You're the mightiest Alpha and everyone who's here knows that your immeasurable strength cannot be compared to none, I've my daughter, a princess who is Worthy of being your Luna, good enough to be by your side as a queen, she continued to talk angering me to the depths of my soul.
The woman in my hands, unconscious, was making me lose my sanity bit by bit, I stepped inches back, my brows forming a frown. The air was no longer enough to suffice my breathing, I needed her to be awake, the beautiful woman, her lengthy hair pulled behind her back and the messy braids on her sticky pale face, her lifeless face went an indescribable feeling of fear inside me.
I gave no reply to her words and headed outside to my carriage. " Call a physician from nearby right now, " I growled to the guards by the carriage.
I looked back at the unconscious figure in my hands, brushing the strands of hair that stuck in her face away, I took her hands in mine, squeezing them worriedly.
" You're fucking beautiful" , I muttered to myself, touching her hard-muscled but lucent skin.
The quicked footsteps of the guards and a physician behind brought me back to reality. "Alpha Zeev," the old physician trotted behind me.
" You should lay her flat on her back, she is very stressed and seems to have been worn out by series of traumas." My fist folded into a ball hearing his words.
" Alpha Zeev," her maid's tiny voice motioned for me to do as Said.
" Open the carriage windows, settle it on a flat surface, and make sure no movement is made", I ordered.
I put her down and wrapped my hands around her, her soft breaths rose slowly and I felt her body stiffen for a moment before she accepted my touch. Her eyelids batted as she opened her eyes slowly.
" My lady, you're awake," the maid's voice rang from behind. I held my fingers up rubbing in soothing circles.
"No one has ever been that kind to me," she said softly with a tiny trailing off on her words.
A smile formed on her face before she closed her eyes slowly and fell back asleep.I felt a sudden wave of spark in my soul ,that little crease on her face." She's fine now Alpha Zeev, Little stress and a lot of care, make sure she's emotionally fine, that's all the important ones. " The physician said ruining the flush of happiness inside me.We're leaving for the Isle now, I commanded the guards each scattering back to their position, I sat in the carriage holding my mate carefully. The sudden feeling of familiarity I felt was overwhelming, maybe it was the mate bond, I didn't despise her touch, her contact with my body, it all felt soothing and warm.I held my hands behind her head creating a comfortable headrest with my palms for her to rest on as the carriage drove to the Isle.Sahrani IsleThe bumpy road on the outskirts of the Isle had me getting on my nerves. The thought of Fenrir still sleeping was getting me worried, it's been hours and she was supposed to be awake now.The
Mara's pov"Mom" , Mara calls out, stomping her feet on the ground as she walks angrily towards the queen."What is the matter Mara? Why does your face carry so much anger?" she asked concerningly."How could you let that happen, Mom? How could you let Fenrir be taken away by Alpha Zeev? You and I know how much I've been trying to form an ally with him. Fenrir can't have him, only I have the right to be his Luna, and wife." She said fuming with anger." Mara!How dare you talk to your mother like that," the king thundered, obviously angered at the turn of events." I've every right to be angry, I have every reason to talk to her like that! why? why did you both let that happen, Alpha Zeev was mine to begin with, how could that spineless bitch that cannot shift, be his Luna?. I, Mara, is the only one who will be by his side." Mara shouted back at the king" Calm down Mara, her life with Alpha Zeev is going to be worse than even being here don't you see," the queen said, trying to take
Alpha Zeev's POV "Good morning my dear Luna," I said walking towards the bed she lay on, her scarlet red face resting lazily on the bed. " Good morning Alpha Zeev", her melodious voice filled the room," "How was your night rest my beautiful Luna?" I asked sitting at the edge of the bed. Handing her a cup of water, her face carried a hint of surprise and she hurled down from the bed. " Sit Fenrir, you do not have to be scared of me, you are safe with me," I said moving closer to her, holding her jaw in my palms as I looked into her eyes. " I'm not scared of you Alpha Zeev, I'm just not used to being treated like this by a stranger," she said with a quivering voice. " I'm not a stranger, Fenrir, I'm your husband, your Alpha," I said back almost with a voice of urgency, the urgency for her to take me in as hers. Her eyes were laden with tears as she looked at me. " I don't know if this is the effect of the mate bond, but I want you to accept me Fenrir, open your heart, and let m
ASTERIA Mara walked around the palace as she awaited the return of the messenger. " Isn't he back yet?" she asked with urgency in her voice. " No my princess, there hasn't been any word from the crystal moon pack either, I guess Alpha Zeev is making his decision," the maid behind her said in a low voice not daring to anger her. " He should be back with that bitch, he must come back to Asteria with her," she said pacing around unsettlingly. " I'll go and check if he has arrived, my princess," the maid said, walking away in a hurry. The quickened footsteps of the maid was no longer heard in the corridor and Mara was left alone to her thoughts. " I'll make sure I kill that bitch once she gets back to Asteria, how dare she follow Alpha Zeev instead of Alpha Loki, she sure has some guts to covet my things," mara murmured to herself. " I never thought of her as a threat, it seems like I've to eliminate her and then everything will be in my grasp," she
" What do we do now mother, the thought of Fenrir staying in crystal Moon pack with Alpha Zeev is getting on my nerves. Didn't you see how he treated the messenger because of her? we have to make haste about it Mother, before it gets too late," Mara said tentatively." Bring me a man from the council of the elders, a high-ranking one, and ask that we meet privately, Alpha Zeev won't be able to reject this offer." The Queen said decisively.FENRIR's POV Kayle walked into the bedroom with a wide smile on her face. " Good morning my lady," she greeted with a happy face." Why do you look so happy, has anything good happened," I asked, sitting up from the bed." Of course, my lady, I'm glad you made the right choice of following Alpha Zeev, everyone in the pack has been talking about how he carried you into the park yesterday," she said giggling with smiles." Why is there so much talk about him carrying me here, I was not fit to walk by myself," I said back to Kayla who cared less about
" Good day my lady," a man in full cladded robe greeted as he walked into the meeting room. " Good day elder Aztec," the queen responded. "Please do have a seat," she said as she gestured to the chair in the room. Mara walked into the room behind Elder Aztec as he made his way to sit opposite the mother-and-daughter duo. " What can I do for you my lady," he asks, settling down. " We er..." Mara makes attempts to state the reason he was summoned. " Let the queen do the talking, my princess, " elder Aztec said, shutting Mara up in an instant. His eyes swept over Mara in a portent manner. " Elder Aztec, I asked that you be brought here because of a very important matter that needs urgent solution," she said and continued. " I know you must have heard about Fenrir being taken away by Alpha Zeev of the crystal moon pack," the queen said, looking into the eyes of elder Aztec for any reaction. " Yes, I've also heard about the messenger and the shenanigans that happened on his arriva
Alpha Zeev's POVI held the little woman in my hands as we both walked down the flight of stairs." Stay, I'll carry you," I said, bending over to sweep her off her feet."Tell me if you like what is prepared," I said, not Minding the protests from her as I swooped her from the ground.The maids around the table opened their eyes wide in shock." Alpha Zeev, there are some visitors from Asteria," a guard from outside said.The woman in my hands shuddered with fear as I could see the trepidation in her eyes." You'll be fine Fenrir, " I said , still holding her tightly in my arms."I'll get down first Alpha Zeev," she said, trying not to show the complex emotions." Stay Fenrir, you belong here, they're the ones who do not," I said, holding her tightly in my arms as the creak and clank of shoes was heard outside.The door opened and the expectant face of the old man with the woman who seemingly is the second princess of Asteria turned gloomy.Fenrir tried to squeeze down from my arms m
With a triumphant smile on her face, she limped slowly cause she had a broken leg from the way the guard hit her down. Together they made their way to the rooftop." What a foolish bet," she murmured, "the king of Asteria himself wouldn't dare to resist such offer", she said silently.I walked behind looking down at the guards who had moved over to the villages giving no reaction to her words.The woman in my hands had made small ruffles, making me halt.The crescent smile on the Messenger's face was slowly turning into a frown. " What?, how could they reject so much treasure, that the best of what they had ever seen in their lives, " Mara said, almost scrambling to her feet." Do something, Elder Aztec, why are you Just watching? Those people must be stupid," she said as she screamed in denial.Her face grew into panic as she saw the treasures being thrown to the ground, thrown back in the face of the guards who brought them." I believe you can see why I have so much trust in my pe
