LOGINBeing unmated for a long time, Alpha Ryan, whose life is one of duty and control, locked his heart away from the world to achieve that. For years, he's avoided the mate bond, dismissing the idea of love as a weakness and an obstacle to achieving everything he had dreamt of. But during one of the routine peace ceremonies, everything changes. He felt a mate bond, one he was so desperately ready to reject despite the strong pull he felt. But the very moment he's faced with his mate, a lowly male servant, an omega who looked lost and vulnerable, it triggered something within him. Something he thought he wasn't able to feel and that gave birth to a hidden affair, one he was willing to even risk everything, including his life for. Yes their bond was forbidden and cursed centuries ago, but he was willing to bear the consequences.
View MoreTHIRD PERSON'S POV After a long while, Jasmine and Lily finally returned home from the Pack house, both lost in their own thoughts. The weight of everything they had learned hung heavily between them.“I still can’t believe Alpha Ryan is Ethan’s mate,” Lily said at last, releasing a long, uneasy sigh.Jasmine lowered herself onto the floor, her expression troubled. “But what if the pack finds out? Won’t Ethan be cast out?”Lily hesitated before shaking her head. “I don’t think so.”“How can you say that?” Jasmine asked, her voice laced with worry. “Their bond is forbidden, and we’re just commoners. The Alpha King might be spared, but Ethan…” Her voice faltered. “He could be burned alive.”A heavy silence settled between them.Lily’s jaw tightened as she stared ahead. “No,” she said firmly after a moment. “I won’t let that happen.”Jasmine leaned forward, desperation creeping into her voice. “Then let’s leave. All of us; you, Dad, Aldan, Ethan, and me. We can run away from the pack.”
THIRD PERSON’S POV The air in the room felt… wrong. Heavy. Alive. Ryan didn’t move from where he stood, but every instinct in him screamed to subdue what stood before him...but he couldn't get himself to lay a finger on Ethan. He had watched in worry as his mate struggled with whatever was fighting to take control of him. He watched as he stood at the center of the room, chest rising and falling slowly, like a predator that had just learned how to breathe. Those eyes… One silver the other red. They glowed faintly in the dim light. And something about it felt like trouble. “You need to sit,” Ryan said carefully, his voice calm. “Your body...” “I’m fine!” Ethan yelled Ryan’s eyes narrowed. That wasn’t the Ethan he knew. He slowly walked closer reaching out to him. Before he could get to him. The door burst open. “Ethan!” A female's voice yelled. It was Jasmine’s voice breaking through the tension like lightning. She rushed in, Lily right behind he
THIRD PERSON'S POV“Send word,” he said coldly to a guard as he passed, “that I will be seeing Lady Lucy immediately.”He gently laid Ethan on his bed.After a while, the knock came.“Enter,” Ryan said, his voice cold enough to still the air.The doors opened, and Lucy stepped in.She carried herself with the same poise as always, chin lifted, shoulders straight. But the moment her eyes landed on Ethan lying on Ryan's bed, something sharp flickered across her face."What is he doing here?!" She yelled."What the hell did you do?" Ryan asked ignoring her question."You almost killed him.""So the rumours are true. The rumour that the Alpha got himself wrapped around the fingers of a wolfless runt."Ryan stood up the moment those words left her mouth, his pupil flickering one could feel the anger seeping through him.He walked closer to Lucy."This is the last time I will tell you this, I can condone all your tricky schemes but do not come anywhere close to him else you will serve as fo
ETHAN'S POV "You can't disobey me now," He whispers into my ear. I didn't realise I was smiling until I heard him say; "Your smile, it's beautiful." I held my chest, for a second it felt like my heart was about to burst out my ribcage. While I was trying to digest the most beautiful compliment I've ever received, he leaned closer and kissed me. I hugged him so tight even though everything felt like one big dream. I didn't want to let go, I didn't want it to end, I just wanted to be in his arms if possible for the rest of my life. 'But what if he hates me by tomorrow, what if?' I pondered. I didn't notice tears were rolling down my cheeks and I was sobbing quite loudly until he wrapped me round his arms and whispered. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry I hurt you." I pulled back, "No, no you didn't. I.... I..." "You don't need to overthink anything." He cuts in like he had read my mind. I held his wrist, the heat of his skin searing into my palm. I looked into his eyes
