MasukI caught him red handed with his tongue in his mistress’ mouth on the night we were told I could never give birth. He humiliated me and made me a laughing stock. To spite him, I had a one-night stand with a handsome stranger who was the hotter version of him. On the night our pack is almost burnt down to shreds, my husband is asked to pick one person to save, and he picks her! His mistress! Condemning me to death even after everything I did for him! That is when he erupts from the shadows. HIM, the man who dared to go against the army of the great Redmoon, and the man I had a one-night stand with. “You disappoint me, brother. Father would turn in his grave for your cowardice.” He says to my husband. He is my husband’s brother, an illegitimate son of the late alpha king. He has returned out of spite for his father to possess everything the royal family has ever owned; and that includes me. He is the definition of evil and cruel, but immorality has never looked or tasted so good.
Lihat lebih banyakThe world that we live in is complicated there are different Kingdoms for all the different species, there are two Werewolf Kingdoms, one Vampire Kingdom, one Witch Kingdom, and one Lycan Kingdom. The rest of the world is humans. The humans don’t know about our kind because of the no man’s land separating every Kingdom and the Humans. We have cloaks on each Kingdom so the humans can’t find the different species. We all live in peace and stick to our territories. There have been a few fated mates that were from different species, but it doesn’t happen often to keep the balance in place. Each Kingdom has a Special force of warriors. The warriors go out on missions when one race is too active in the human world or when there are humans being murdered or abducted. It has been my dream since I was a young pup to be part of the Special Forces of one of the werewolf kingdoms, I am a daughter of an Alpha. I knew I was never going to be the Alpha of my pack so I wanted my own purpose in life. There are a few Alphas under each Alpha King to control all the packs. My father was one of the Alphas under Alpha Kind Nikolas in our Kingdom.
It was almost my sixteenth birthday and I have been chained to a wall for a little over a year. I was chained at my ankles and wrists with silver chains that prevented me from healing myself and suppressing my scent so I couldn’t be found. They would give me injections every few days with different concoctions like silver and wolfsbane, mistletoe, and things I did not even know. I would be unconscious for days. I have built quite a tolerance against it now, so they have increased my dosage. Sometimes they would even burn me with a metal stick or their brand and throw silver powder on the wounds to prevent it from closing and eventually leaving an ugly mark. I had lots of scars on my back and on my inner thighs near my lady bits. I had a branding on my left breast on the side with their pack symbol and one on my lower back. They have even broken most bones in my body but focused on my legs, arms, and ribs. I don’t know how long I will be able to take this anymore. It’s been over a year and I am afraid of the day that they will either take my virginity or kill me. I was so emotionally drained and thought there was no way in this world that I would ever get out of this stinking cold cell alive. There was no hope. I had just taken one of the worst beatings of my life and the blood was dripping from my mouth and nose. They rapped me 5 times today and my whole body was screaming in pain from the assault it received. I was dangling from chains and my feet couldn’t touch the ground. Suddenly there was a loud bang and the door burst open ten men dressed like a swat team came into the cell but my eyes were almost swollen shut so I couldn’t see their faces properly.
Lyra's POV I had known fear before, I had known pain before, but nothing, absolutely nothing, prepared me for the moment my body tightened around a burning ache and I collapsed in Ava’s kitchen.I had gone to visit her since that had been my routine in the last couple of months. Xavier hadn't fully forgiven her yet, but at this point, I liked to think it was safe to say that the relationship between them was slowly coming together. I didn't mind playing the role of an intermediary between them because just as I was trying my best to reconcile Xavier with his mother, I was actually enjoying the woman's company. One moment I was laughing with her, sipping tea, feeling Xavier’s warmth lingering from the morning kiss he’d pressed to my forehead before heading out for his Alpha duties, and the next, the cup fell from my hand, shattered, and a sharp, twisting agony tore through me like claws dragging through my womb.“Ava…” I gasped, grabbing the edge of the table. “Ava, something’s w
Xavier’s POV I never believed redemption was a real thing. At least not for men like me. I didn't believe it was for men shaped out of abandonment, violence, and rage, nor for a creature who clawed his crown out of the ashes of those who wronged him.But when Lyra had stood there in my mother's cabin all these weeks ago, bloody, shaking, terrified, and still whispered the words “Let me stand by you. Let me love you.” it had bromen me beyond compare. A single sentence, and the world I knew cracked down the middle. Since the night she confessed, something had shifted in me, slowly and painfully, like thaw breaking in the heart of winter. I didn’t trust it at first, didn’t trust myself. But Lyra she believed.Every time she touched her belly, every time she looked at me without fear, every time she said my name like it wasn’t something cursed, and as crazy as it sounded, I felt myself changing.And so, for the first time in my life, I forced myself to face the one thing I had alwa
Xander's POV I wasn’t supposed to hear her voice, not like this, not in that tone, and definitely not saying those words. But fate was cruel, and apparently so was the universe, because I reached the clearing at the exact moment her voice cracked through the open doorway of the small wooden house.I didn't want to believe it, but with how Much those words had echoed in my ears the moment I heard them, I liked to think it was hard to ever forget them. For the next couple of seconds, everything around me seemed to come to a halt. My breathing stopped and with each passing second, I could swear I felt my body shutting down. Did I really come all the way here for this? Did I really really murder that guard after he'd told me gave Intel to Xavier as well? Just to see this? A million and one thoughts ran through my head all at once, but apparently, it was nothing for my body. My boots froze mid-step as I listened even closer. “…whatever you choose, I’ll stand by you.”Her voice trem
Xavier’s POV The forest went silent the moment I stepped into the clearing, and I wasn't sure how i felt about that. On one hand, it was almost poetic. The forest bowing because they recognized my power and what not, and on the other hand, I couldn't help but feel like the quietness around me signaled something else. Danger, maybe., but not to me.I shook the thought away before it could fester into something else. I'd literally walked through the eye of the needle, just to get here and the last thing I wanted would be for me to realize I was too late. This village, settlement or whatever would burn. That's for sure. A small sigh slid past my lips as I pushed the thoughts out of my head again. This time, and like a child clinging to its mother, I felt the air around me become quiet immediately. Well, not quiet, but almost silent.Like the trees themselves had stopped breathing, like the world folded in on itself, bracing for something it already knew was coming.My boots sank in
Xander's POV I had spent months believing the worst was behind me, but alas It wasn’t. Hell, this was only the beginning, and if there was one emotion that seemed to be dominant in the rest of my body, then it had to be anger. Anger amongst many other things. Growing up, I'd been a lucky child,
Lyra's POV I didn’t sleep the night Ava told me the truth, and if I was being honest, I wasn't sure anybody was going to blame me. How could I? How was I supposed to?Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Xavier as a child, small, thin, wrapped in a blanket and left beside a riverbank with nothin
Lyra's POV The bleeding didn’t stop. Despite all my prayers and how careful I tried to be, it didn’t get better. It got worse, and I wasn't sure how I felt about that. Wrong. I was panicking, fidgeting and losing my mind all at once. The bleeding wasn't enough to collapse, neither was it enou
Xavier’s POV It had been months. Months of scorched trails, silent nights, and blood on the ground that wasn’t hers, thank the gods, it was never hers. Months where I almost drove myself mad with the thoughts of her, months where my mind and body had decided to taint me with gruesome dreams a
