Casey Whelan had her life turned upside down when her father was accused of being a traitor. Now, she was no longer the daughter of a prestigious Alpha, but a slave to the fearful King Johannes Vaughan. “No, Miss Whelan. You are to be a breeder.” “I don’t want to be a breeder! And if I ever get to have a child, I will not be parted from it!” “That is not something you should concern yourself with.” She knew the truth then: they would kill her. Is Casey going to be able to change her fate? Or is she going to perish at the hands of the Alpha King?
View More“Wait, don’t leave me here!” I asked while my eyes couldn’t see clearly, since they were filled with tears. But nobody seemed to care about me.
I should have known I would be used. The Alpha King, Johannes would have never treated the daughter of a traitor so well for the kindness of his heart.
The feeling inside my chest was of loss. I was going to be used as a breeder for the Alpha King. He was going to take something I was saving only for my fated mate. He was going to take everything that I still had: not only my virginity, but also my dignity.
A noise from the door told me I was not going to be alone for too long. It was like I could sense every cell on my body. They were melting in fear.
The room was all dark, I couldn’t even see my hand in front of me, but the scent that hit my nostrils was absolutely delicious. Dark chocolate, spicy. My mouth was watering and I wanted to get closer to the fountain of that smell.
“Take off your clothes!” The strong and harsh voice made me frozen in place, and also, helped me to get back to reality. That was the Alpha King! “I won’t ask twice!”
“I… Your Majesty, please… I have never done this. Please, I…”
Even though I could not see - I still had no wolf, for I was just twenty years old and only at the age of twenty one I would be able to be awakened. So, no night vision - I knew he was coming to me. His scent was growing stronger, so was his arousal. I might be a virgin, but I was not completely ignorant!
“It is your chance to pay a little for your father’s sins! To redeem that dirty bloodline that you have!”
I have always been told I should know how to properly shut up, but sometimes, it was stronger than me.
“If my blood is so dirty, why do you want so much to mix with yours? Yes, because in case you have not thought about it, your child is going to be half me!”
When I stopped talking, I realized my mistake. But not fast enough. I felt my jaw being held with force, squeezed. It hurt, but not enough to break me.
“You have a smart mouth, don’t you, Casey?” He asked and his breath was on my ear. “I can think of better uses for that mouth of yours.”
There it goes again!
“Oh, really?” I asked, but not sure he understood, since it was quite hard to talk.
My heart was beating fast, really fast and I knew he could kill me. I was almost sure he would and in the end, it would be my fault. But know what? It was better than be forced to…
I couldn’t finish my thoughts, because his lips crushed on mine and my waist was held with force. I had never kissed! His lips were soft, warm and he started to lick me. With the lack of air, I opened my lips and his tongue entered my mouth.
My legs hit something behind me and I felt my body falling. The bed. That male was huge, hovering on top of me. But then, I finally got back to my senses. We were in bed, he was going to…
“No!” I put my hands on his chest and pushed him. “No, please, don’t!”
He stopped moving. His hands were one in my waist and the other on the bed.
“You are going to be my breeder!” He hissed, but I was not going to accept that.
“Please, don’t. I-I don’t want you!”

*A MONTH BEFORE*
I was in my room, looking into the mirror, to my pink eyes, while Zaila brushed my pink hair. Then, we heard noises outside.
“What is going on?” I asked my nursemaid and she shrugged, putting the hairbrush on the nightstand and walking to the door.
Before she could reach the door, it burst open and we both screamed. Zaila had been with me since my mother died, it is, since forever. My mother died in childbirth. The older woman shielded me, as if protecting me, but it was useless, for she was tossed away.
A tall male appeared, wearing armor. He was a royal guard, I could see the Royal Crest on his golden iron chest.
“Casey Whelan, by his Royal Majesty, the Alpha King, Johannes Vaughan’s orders, you are to come with us as a war prisoner.” The werewolf in front of me said, his dark eyes shining with what I could only classify as rage, although his tone was formal.
“I… War prisoner? What is going on?” I asked, confused. Was that werewolf crazy? Johannes Vaughan was the King of the same kingdom which my pack belonged to. How could we be ‘war prisoners'?
“If you refuse to follow the King’s orders, I have the authority to take you by force.” He said and I could hear in his voice that it meant he would be able to hurt me. Something he wanted to do.
I felt a shiver run down my spine. I had no idea what was happening, but it was not a prank, it was not something I should take bluntly. That werewolf was dangerous. I could smell it.
“We better go, my child.” Zaila 's soft voice said while she was getting closer to me.
“You stay right there!” The guard said , pointing his finger at my nanny and when Zaila tried to go against him, he started to draw the sword. “I am not playing here!”
“It is ok, nanna. I will go.” I told her and hugged the woman who was like a mother to me.
“Last warning!” The guard hissed and I sighed, nodding and walking to the door.
I could say that outside my bedroom was hellish. Shouts, yelling and my father was nowhere around there.
“Stop being goofy and get going!”
“Sir, where is my father?” I got the courage to ask, but he remained with that weird expression. He was a handsome male, but too frightening. “He is the Alpha, sir. There must be a misunderstanding here!”
I knew I should sound more dignified, since I was the daughter of the Alpha, but I had to admit I was shaking in fear. It was so weird, looking around and seeing all those wounded members of my pack, fighting, and I was there, standing in a fancy dress. I felt stupid.
“That damn traitor is heading to King's Landing to have what he deserves for attempting murder against our king! And you… You’ll pay your deed as well!”
The werewolf tossed me inside a carriage.
Tritor? Attempting murder against the King? That werewolf was lying or someone must have prepared a trap for my father! He would never do that!
“I demand…”
He put his face inside the carriage and showed me his fangs. His wolf was coming out, because his dark eyes were changing to a greener color.
“Shut up or I will make you! I am having patience because you are a girl, but don’t push me! Traitors deserve no mercy!”
“So I should be thankful for being shoved inside this carriage with such violence?” I asked and regretted it. What was I doing? But then, I was not a traitor and I wanted to say that, but the werewolf growled and for some miracle, he just closed the door with a bang and left. I let out the breath I was holding.
The carriage started to move and it took us a while to reach King's Landing and again, I was not treated lightly. They even tied my hands together behind my body.
“May I request an audience with the King, please? I need to understand…”
“You may not.” Another werewolf said when we stopped in front of him. His eyes were of a light green I had never seen before, while his hair was dirty blond.
“Sir O’Horan, where should I take this prisoner?” The werewolf from before asked.
My eyes darted to the side, as if something was pulling my attention, like a magnet. I couldn't see much, but a glimpse of silver hair passing by. For some odd reason, my heart started to beat faster. Then, between two columns, even if it was dark there, I saw orange eyes staring back at me.
"Who 's that?” I asked without thinking.
The silence that followed was deafening, broken only by the sound of Aidan's heavy breathing. The weight of his actions settled heavily upon him, leaving him feeling hollow and empty. He glanced at Beta Keith and Gamma Phenrix and quietly muttered, "Let's go." Casey trudged through the dense forest, her swollen belly making each step an arduous task. Her exhaustion was profound as her body strained under the weight of her impending motherhood. The moon cast an ethereal glow through the thick canopy above, guiding her weary steps as she searched for a safe place to rest. For nights on end, Casey had been haunted by dreams. Visions of a place she had never seen, yet felt an undeniable connection to. Each dream held a piece of her destiny, a clue to her bloodline. And in her heart, she knew that her fate was sealed. Death loomed over her, threatening to claim her life in childbirth, just as it had taken her mother's. Desperation urged her forward, pushing her weary limbs to c
Alpha Aidan, Beta Keith, and Gamma Phenrix cautiously entered Casey's chamber, their footsteps muffled on the stone floor. The room was in order as always, but it felt barren and empty without the presence of its owner. "Casey is not in the room," Beta Keith said as the trio surveyed the chamber, their eyes scanning every corner for any sign of Casey's whereabouts. Gamma Phenrix's sharp eyes alighted on Melina's closet, and a frown pulled at his lips. "Look at Melina's closet," he whispered urgently to Alpha Aidan and Beta Keith. "It's almost empty. Something is not right. Do not tell me she packed." Alpha Aidan's brow furrowed in concern, his gaze fixated on the nearly vacant closet. "Casey must have fled, someone must have alerted her, could that be Amara?" he deduced, his voice laced with worry. "We need to find her
India's eyes bore into Casey's, brimming with an intensity that sent shivers down her spine. "Amara sent me to warn you. Beta Keith discovered your secret, she tried as much as possible to keep it," India explained, her words flowing in a rush of urgency. "He investigated, questioned Amara's apprentice, and eventually, the news reached Alpha Aidan." "I still do not know what you are talking about. Please, tell me - what did the alpha find out?" "Alpha Aidan knows already that you're pregnant." Casey's breath caught in her throat as she absorbed the weight of India's revelation. Alpha Aidan's knowledge of her pregnancy filled her with a mixture of dread and disbelief. Her hands instinctively flew to her stomach, where new life was blossoming within her. How had this secret been exposed? And, she wondered, what would Alpha Aidan do now that he knew? India's next words left Casey reeling. "The alpha is furious, Casey. And when he's angry, he becomes blind to reason. He
Beta Keith entered Alpha Aidan's chamber, his breath heavy with urgency. His eyes were wide with shock as he approached the Alpha, who was seated at his desk, engrossed in a pile of paperwork. Aidan looked up, sensing the tension in the room, and raised an eyebrow. "What is it, Keith?" Aidan asked, his voice calm but tinged with curiosity. "Alpha Aidan," Keith began, his voice hesitant, "I have news. News that will shock you, I'm afraid." Aidan leaned back in his chair, suddenly wary. "Well, go on then. What is it?" "It's about Casey," Keith replied, his voice barely above a whisper. "She's... she's pregnant. Eight months pregnant." Aidan's eyes widened in disbelief, his mind struggling to process the information. He glanced at Amara who stood silently beside him, her mouth slowly widening up in realization. Her eyes were downcast, a mix of guilt and fear evident on her face. Aidan turned back to Keith, his voice trembling with anger. "Is this true Amara? Is
And so, as the dungeon's cruel embrace tightened around Amara, the scene descended into a dark abyss—its outcome uncertain, its consequences unfathomable. Amara's body writhed in agony as the soldiers continued their relentless assault on her battered form. Each blow intensified the pain, leaving her gasping for air and clinging to the remnants of her strength. With every strike, she felt herself inch closer to the precipice of surrender. As the torture stretched on for what felt like an eternity, Amara's voice trembled with desperation. "Please," she pleaded, her voice strained and hoarse. "I can't bear this anymore. Please, I beg you." The soldiers, their faces contorted with a mixture of sadistic pleasure and exhaustion, exchanged glances. The heat of the dungeon weighed heavily on their haggard bodies. Sweat dripped down their br
The Alpha's footfalls echoed against the marble floors as he paced back and forth, his luxurious chamber serving as the backdrop to his simmering rage. A scowl etched deep lines onto his face, a testament to the fury that coiled within him. Before him stood Amara, a figure he had once trusted with his life, now defiant and unyielding. Tension hung heavy in the air, pregnant with unspoken words and unrelenting emotions. His voice, a low growl, reverberated through the chamber as he demanded answers that seemed to elude him. "Amara, why? Why won't you disclose the reason for Casey's visit?" The Alpha's eyes blazed with a fierce intensity, sending shivers down the spines of all present. Amara's unwavering gaze met his, her resolve unyielding. "Alpha Aidan," she began, her voice steady despite the charged atmosphere. "I have said it before, and I shall say it again. As a healer, I am bound by a sacred oath. The reasons behind my patients' visits are held within the sanctity of
Amara's serene hazel eyes, imbued with a quiet grace, swiftly found themselves captivated by Casey's presence. In that fleeting instant of connection, the profound surprise that washed over Amara's features was mirrored on Casey's face, her visage a canvas of unabashed astonishment. An invisible current seemed to pass between them, an unspoken plea for answers emanating from Casey's gaze. Yet, Amara could only shake her head in confusion, her own mind caught in a whirlwind of questions. "What are you doing here, Amara?" Casey's voice, barely above a whisper, carried a note of urgency. "Don't tell me you've come to bestow me with anything. Can't you see? Everyone's watching, and you know what that means." Her own bewilderment etched deeply into her expression, Amara leaned closer, her voice a mere breath escaping into the air. "Actually, no. I ha
The guard's heart pounded in his chest as he hurried out of the palace, his boots thudding against the stone path that led to the forest. The Alpha's urgent request echoed in his mind, urging him to move faster. Sweat dripped down his forehead, mingling with the beads of fear that had formed there. The forest canopy cast dappled shadows on the guard's determined face as he ran, branches whipping past him like ghosts in the wind. The urgency in his steps matched the urgency of the situation. His breath came in ragged gasps, punctuated by the symphony of nature around him. Minutes turned into eternity as he raced through the dense wood, his heart pounding like a war drum. At last, he spotted the hut nestled amidst the trees, a humble abode that held the solution to the Alpha's troubles. With a desperate hope burning in his eyes, he approached the entrance and rapped his knuckles against the worn door. Silence greeted him, the lack of response causing a ripple of uncertai
A WEEK AGO Beta O'Horan felt an overwhelming surge of eager anticipation coursing through his veins, each beat of his heart fueling his sense of duty. With a fervent nod, he etched determination into his face, fully aware that there was no alternative; they had to embark on this perilous quest if they were to save the life of His Highness. Impatiently, he implored, "We can ill afford to waste another precious moment. Pray, tell me, where can we locate this elusive wizard?" The healers exchanged urgent glances, their eyes reflecting the weight of the situation. The elder healer stepped forward, his voice trembling with urgency. "We shall exhaust every avenue available to us, Beta O'Horan," he vowed. "Our network of connections will be set in motion, for we must act swiftly. The hands of time are against us, and the destiny of the king rests in the unfathomable powers of this elusive wizard." With this renewed sense of purpose, Beta O'Horan braced himself for the treache
