Traded To the Alpha King

The moment I heard that there is a way out of this curse, I got closer to Alpha Henderson with high hopes.

"If that is the case we could be mated. I... I could be your mate. You love me right? And I love you too." I said almost begging.

I saw his eyes flickered from what I said as he took a step backward which broke my heart. "No, no. We are not mate relationship, Adriah, you can still be coveted. Only the curse will stop if you are mated to your TRUE mate. Besides, you are a Stealer and... a stealer does not deserve to be a Luna."

I was so dumbfounded upon hearing his words, I could never believe that he was this heartless. My heart hurt so bad, it is more than an insult especially coming from my boyfriend.

I looked down and went back to the corner. It feels like I lose all my hopes.

"Let me out of here then." I blankly said.

I have to find my mate, I need to. Otherwise, I will be forcibly mated to the lonely wolves, I'd rather die before that happens.

"I couldn't do that." Alpha Henderson said which made me look at him with narrowed eyes. 

I doubt that this heartless man ever loved me, for two years I don't think he ever did. Because if he loved me, he should have at least thought for a moment but he didn't.

"What do you want with me?" I asked through my cold voice. 

To be honest, I am so disappointed of him, I loved him for two years but he just throw it away because I am a Stealer, it was as if he is telling me that I do not deserve to live. I am sad and disappointed at the same time but I didn't let it show. Letting go of emotions is simply telling him that I am weak. No, I have to be strong.

"I have a proposal for you, Adriah." He said and I sensed darkness in his voice, his dark eyes screamed greed added with his narrowed look that shows danger. It send chills right into my bones.

I am scared shitless of what he is about to do, of what he is planning to do. I knew I couldn't trust him... I don't know this man anymore. He is not the man I loved.

"If you have nothing good to say. The door is open, go." I said trying to be strong despite how odd I am feeling at the moment.

My life is a waste, I have no reason to live anymore. I felt abandoned by my parents and even my boyfriend. How could I live my life when no one loves me? Especially that I have no one to become my strength.

I am wasted. 

He sighed and took a deep breath, composing himself, "No, Adriah. Being a Stealer is not bad at all, instead, it is a good thing. You can save a life Reah."

He insisted.

His words struck me that made me confused, "S-save a... life?" 

"Yes, Adriah. You know that once a werewolf becomes widowed it will slowly turn into a rogue. They will lose their insanity because of their lost mate. But... with the help of a stealer you can help a werewolf not to turn into a rogue because you will become the substitute of the former mate." He said and I completely understand what he meant but I don't like where the conversation is leading.

I looked away, "So you want me to become a substitute mate of some stranger?" I asked through my hard voice.

"I heard that the Alpha King has a widowed brother. He lost his mate and it is your chance Adriah to find your true mate in the Red Moon Pack. I am not your Mate, Adriah. You have to find your true mate and it is my way of helping you." He sincerely said.

"R-Red M-Moon p-pack?" I trembled.

"No," I shook my head and faced him,

"I'd rather die than go to that cruel pack!" Anger fueled inside of me.

The Alpha King is known as the most ruthless creature ever existed. He killed a countless creature with his hands and just by the name Jester could make a person insane. No way in hell I will ever get close to that man!

Furious is just an understatement of what I feel right now. I never expected Alpha Greg to be greedy, I knew he had a deeper reason why he wanted me to mate with the Alpha King's brother. I loved Alpha Henderson because he was so caring and that was before... before I discovered that I am a Stealer.

The real demon inside him had come out.

"Adriah, it is for your own good! Marrying the Alpha King's brother is to enjoy life, the luxury. You can have anything you want... everything." He pursued.

I am not a not fool not to see that he is trying to brainwash me. He must have achieved something once he will take me to the Alpha King. 

"I said no! The Alpha King is ruthless, and that Red Moon Pack is dangerous. I will never go there!" I exclaimed once again.

And I will never get married to someone I do not love.

He shook his head, sighing, "He won't hurt you, Adriah. Alpha King Jester might be ruthless but he is a good brother. He loves his brother and he will do everything. Once you get married to his brother, I am sure he would never hurt you."

"Stop it!" I stood up and faced him angrily, "I know what you are doing, you are taking advantage of me and you will never succeed!"

He released a harsh breath, "Fine! If that's what you want. Then go! Go back to your home and let's see what happens to you. A Stealer could never last a day outside, you are bound to die!" 

After he said those words he left with heavy footsteps but letting the door open.

I sighed as I fell to the ground. 

'You are bound to die!' His words echoed in my mind that I couldn't help but cry.

After several moments of crying, I gathered myself and stood up, despite everything that happened today, my life must go on... Life should continue. 

I walked out of the cell but I am in defence of any possible danger. Lonely wolves might attack me anytime and I have to be vigilant. Good thing that it is already dark here and no wolves are roaming around possibly in their houses with their families.

My feet were taking me home and as I walked in the forest, suddenly out of instinct I docked down and saw someone flying just above my head. I stood up and looked to see who it was, a widowed wolf!

Looking at him, he seemed to be in his manic period. He must have smelled my scent.

Oh fuck.
