Alice P O V
***
I finished my meetings, managed my schedule for next week, and sent an email with all details to Max, (Prince of Dragomair, the dragon’s realm). We have been best friends since childhood, and also business companions. He was the only person I trusted after Dad and Ellyn.
We were leaving for Entalia tonight, for tomorrow night’s ritual. By the time I exited the office building, it was dark outside already. I made my way towards my car in the parking space.
I opened my car door, and a sweet scent filled my nostrils. My wolf relaxed with the pleasure of the sweet rich scent of earthly forest rain mixed with the masculine smell of men’s cologne, but my mind went on alert mode. My wolf, Rhea, and I both recognized this scent very well. It was him.
My little human mind kept screaming for me to run! Runaway from this place, realm, and never looked back. Believe me, I wished the same. I wanted to run away, somewhere in light, away from the darkness of my past. Where he couldn’t find me again, but I wasn’t that lucky after all.
Rhea howled in pleasure while my human side was on alert mode.
I searched around my surroundings. Nobody was in the parking area except the guard on duty. Ignoring my scared little human, I sat on the driving seat and made sure to secure the doors, all the while keeping my sentiments in check.
The Inside of my car was still scented with his essence. It was hard to control my and Rhea’s emotions when we knew he was still out there, somewhere near me, watching my every movement like a hawk.
I noticed a bouquet filled with red roses with a small black shiny box peeking through the seat next to me. I panicked, while my wolf was in bliss, with the mere fact of the devil’s presence near her. She was bathing in the pleasure of his sweet, rich scent.
Rhea wanted nothing more than to step out of the car in search of her mate, my naïve wolf. I blocked my mind link with her and concentrated on the matter at hand.
Letting go of a shaky breath, I picked up a bouquet which lay there, mocking me, daring me to do something. A card was flashing in it. I opened it to take a look.
In neat- curly handwriting.
“Congrats my love, I’m proud of you my Queen. And always here to protect you.”
No mention of the name, no need! I knew who sent this and why. I gulped another deep breath to calm my raging heart while I put the note and bouquet back down on the seat and opened a black box. Inside it contained a ring of white gold, crown design with beautiful sapphire attached on the edges of the queen’s crown. Crown.
And if it was possible, my mind panics more, and my heart beats fast like a hummingbird in a cage. He knew! No doubt, he knew about my crown ceremony tomorrow. The entire realm knew.
Suddenly, my phone beeped. I bounced in my seat at the small noise of beeps. I placed my hand on my heart, which was threatening to come out any second.
Before I pulled out my phone from my bag, the screen showed a text message from an unknown number. I frowned at screen, but opened the text -
“Whoa! Kitten, don’t panic. I still can feel your heartbeats. I love you, you know, right? Don’t worry babe, I’m always with you ♡”
I glared at my mobile screen with wide eyes in horror. Yeah! Right, he could feel my heart beating as I could his, but our bond was not that strong that he could feel my emotions or read my mind or talk to me via mind link. Thank goddess.
I threw my phone on the next seat and closed my eyes, letting cool air calm my wild heartbeats. ‘Not now Alice!’ I muttered to myself, and without showing any more moments of weakness and fear. I drove out of the parking area with a stoic face.
I wanted to show him that he didn’t have any effect on me, not anymore. I bet he was there, somewhere, lurking in the dark with that evil smirk on his face, enjoying the entire scene, and I would not give him any satisfaction. This time I set my rules clear: if the devil wants to play again, then,
GAME ON MATE! Be ready to lose this time......

I pushed the brake when I reached my apartment building and picked my phone. For the time, it showed 10 pm. Not much time left. I parked my car in the garage and walked out towards the back garden of my apartment.
In the moonlight, the back garden looked breath-taking. Beautiful nature greenery dipped in the silver glow of moonlight.
I closed my eyes and took a refreshing breath in the night’s chilled-air. Not much time left for our excursion back home, Entalia. From where this story started.
***
One year earlier......
In Entalia, Queen Amelia, the rightful ruler of the werewolf’s realm, organized a grand ball in her castle on the occasion of a blue moon.
In which all ten packs from the entire realm were going to be present in celebration, with their prospective alphas and their mates by their side. It provides a better opportunity for young or unmated wolves to find their mate with the blessings of the goddess.
I stood in front of a vanity mirror, looking at my reflection in it. A full-length royal blue silk gown, off shoulders with beautifully attached crystals, looking perfect on my pale skin. My chocolate eyes glittering with smokey eye-shadow, light make-up, and fabulously styled my waist-length raven-colored hairs in loose curls. My feet were hurting in 3′inch high black Gucci heels. And for the show I wore a beautiful white gold, sapphire ring on the right hand finger. Significance of the crown princess.
I was looking at exactly what my mother says, ‘Perfectly presentable royalty.’
Believe me, I hated show-off my royalty-card but sometimes I couldn’t help it. I mean I didn’t want to embarrass mom in front of the whole realm and..... Secondly, after reaching 20’s last month, it was my first attempt to search for a mate. Yeah! Seriously MATE?!
Just the idea of being mated with someone left me scared to death. The thought of spending my whole life with some crazy dominant-ass wolf who wanted my complete submission. Red flags!
Wolves were highly territorial creatures, and I belonged to the royal alphas bloodline and future Queen, so the concept of submitting to someone didn’t fit well with my character, but as per Queen’s strict orders, I must have to attend the party.
***
Before departing downstairs, I mentally prayed to the moon goddess that I wouldn’t find my mate in today’s party.
But I was unaware of the plans the moon goddess had for me...

Alice P.O.V *** I went downstairs and met my two best friends, Nate and Kara, there waiting for me. We hugged each other. They both turned out to be mates, which they found out a few days ago, and the good part was that they were happy with that latest update. Nate was looking handsome in his black tuxedo, which perfectly fit on his tall and well-built frame like a second skin, styled dark brown hair, blue eyes, and a wide grin plastered on his face. And Kara goes for a knee-length baby pink dress, which compliments her olive-colored skin, and light blue eyes, light make-up, silver-colored high heel, shoulder-length blond hair which hangs down, straight. Both asked in the union when they noticed my nervousness. “What’s wrong?” I shrugged and replied, “Just nervous, and as you guys know, MATE is not my thing.” Kara stepped towards me and tapped my shoulder, while saying with a wicked smirk, “Don’t worry babe, I bet moon go
Warning: This chapter contains sexual content and abusive behavior! *** Beautiful high mountains covered with greenery, river water looks as lustrous as a mirror, illuminated with golden and blue beams of Entalia’s Sun. Outskirt of the entire realm surrounded by dark & thick forest; sky-high length trees, and shiny magical protection fence. The entire realm’s landscape contained four main areas- Royal-high, Downtown, Officials quarters, and Royal Courtyard. Royal high, where royal members live in a luxurious and beautiful palace, a glass castle, at the top of black mountain heights. And they had servant quarters, for royal servants there as well. Surrounded by the endless beauty of nature, with waterfalls and greenery.
Warning: This chapter also contains sexual content and abusive behavior! I tasted a metallic liquid in my mouth- My Blood, and I lost the last bit of control I was hanging on. I bit his lower lip with equal force and was soon rewarded with a taste of his blood. My wolf took over my human mind. She couldn’t discriminate between right and wrong, because Rhea knew nothing more than that she wanted her mate. Now! She wanted to touch him, feel him, and seal a mate bond with him. I couldn’t blame her. It’s the primal need of a wolf, survival, and breeding. She couldn’t help her wolf nature, her possessiveness, hunger, lust, and her dominant side. It was in our blood. And that stupid tingle and the sexy sound of his growl only make it harder. He groaned in front of my lips
Gabriel P.O.V I popped open my eyes, panting heavily. My hand automatically reached the other side of the bed in search of someone. My mate! It was a habit of mine. But I found nothing there. It was empty. She wasn’t there. A sudden panic gripped me at this. A sigh passed my lips, and I kept my eyelids shut. I sat straight and turned the lights on and leaned my head back on the headboard before taking a deep breath in her heavenly scent to calm my nerves, which was still lingering in her entire room. Yes, I’m in her room, in her bed, more specifically. A failed attempt to calm my anger and my wolf, with her mere essence. Yeah, I knew she’s not here. Because she was out there somewhere, escaping from the monster of her ni
Alice P.O.V Warning (18+) scenes, this chapter contains hot sexual content...... leave if you are not interested... Just kidding... Enjoy! Consequences! One threat, every day of my escape, I prepared myself for this moment and always thought, how bad could his punishment go? Because I was not that stupid who thinks that a mere dungeon cell was strong enough to keep him locked for that long. Yeah! I was the one who drugged him with a wolf, spun, and locked him in a dungeon cell. Or what do you think? How I had managed to escape that hell. And now here I was, in front of the devil again and on the verge of death, but still stupid, stubborn, me not ready to lose. “Oh, don’t you
Alice P.O.V By the time I finished my hot bath, it was already dark outside. I stepped inside my room with a towel wrapped around me securely and noticed a beautiful emerald color dress laid proudly on my bed. I guess it came from Ellyn. Who knows my taste so well? It was a beautiful dress, a floor-length gown, shoulder-less with golden embroidery and crystal work on the top. I quickly dressed, set my hair in loose curls, wore a diamond necklace and white gold, sapphire ring. I was no fan of jewels; it was just to maintain a royal status. I checked my reflection in the mirror. Impressed by my job with my hair and light makeup, I applied with the help of one servant. Although with this dress, everything turned out perfect.
Gabriel POV She stood in the middle of the river, bathing in the glory of the moonlight, looking like a fucking goddess. Vision. Undeniable beauty. I wanted to hide her in my arms to save her from other wolves lusting gazes, who were watching her with wide eyes. I wanted to beat the shit out of them, who dare to check -out what’s fucking mine. ‘Mine!′ A growl leaves me, and all heads bend down, who are watching my mate with their lustful wide eyes. She raised her right hand to her mouth to bite into her palm. I could smell the sweet taste of her blood in the air. Blood was dripping from her palm into the water whilst she raised her palm toward the moon and said her vow. “I, Alice Amelia Michaelson, royal heir of the late
Alice POV The night sky always looked promising enough to give me the enthusiasm and hope that ′best is yet to come’. I took a deep breath in spine-chilled air, enjoying the luxurious silver night of my queendom. It was still dark outside. I was on my balcony with a glass of wine in hand, and my head rested back down on my comfortable swing chair. Being the queen of the entire realm was quite a challenging task. I spent my entire month doing my queen duties, renewing peace treaties with other realms, council meetings, waiving disputes of earth businesses, and finally putting my so-called mate a step ahead to hell. *** “Alpha Nicholas, what do you have to say?” Councilor William asked. “Would you be aware of what a shame
