"Speak!" Alpha Bruce yelled as he tightened his grip around Dr. Chosen's neck."I will count to three. If you do not tell me the truth, I will kill you, your sons, daughters, and also, Sonia. I will count," Alpha Bruce threatened, and Dr. Chosen's eyes widened in shock.Dr. Chosen was above 65 years old. He begged, "Forgive me, Alpha. It was Sonia's idea. She asked me to kill Comfort and to make Mallory unable to shift and a weakling.""What!" Everyone in the hall gasped, but Alpha Bruce pushed Dr. Chosen's neck away to the floor and glared at his wife."Guards!" He ordered, his voice loud enough to raise the roof."Take Dr. Chosen and Lily to the dungeon. They shall be dealt with and flogged to death," Alpha Bruce stated, his voice cold and his heart thumping with deep regret."No, Alpha. You cannot order for my execution. Please, forgive me," Luna Lily cried as she crawled up to beg Alpha Bruce. But the guards chained her hands and grabbed her away.Sonia was so shocked and at the s
Mallory's POV:After I finished having my breakfast, which was a delicious plate of rice and chicken stew - something I hadn't eaten in a while, except for when I was in the pack's hospital."Wow, Selena. How come we now have good food to eat?" I asked my wolf, as for the last few days that I had been living with them in this farmhouse, we were given the worst food to eat, and it was not enough to fill my stomach."I do not know, Mallory. I assume maybe it was because of you," Selena replied."Me? I doubt. Alpha Benson doesn't like me, so how can he make changes to the food here? I doubt," I said, as I was in my room on the top floor, having my meal.Since I was done with my work for the day, and we were given breakfast to eat at noon, I went back to my room on the second floor with my own plate of rice, and I didn't want to stay with the rest of the farm workers. I desired to have my own privacy, and that meant staying on my own. I knew that the majority of them didn't like me, and
Alpha Benson POV:I was unable to focus on my office work, especially after Dennis had informed me that my mother had come to the pack's farm in search of Mallory to take her home.After I ended the mindlink with Kelvin, my mother had driven her car to the company to see me. She came to my office and yelled that we had to organize a new coronation festival and send out invitations to crown Emma as my Luna."Mom, I do not have time for this. And what exactly did you go to the farmhouse to do? For the record, you haven't visited there to know how the farm operates. So what took you there?" I queried my mother in my office, and she glared at me."Benson, I am your mother, and you cannot look down on me or use your alpha power to command me to speak. I want Mallory taken away from this pack, but you refused. Since you do not want her to leave, then we cannot wait for eight complete months for her to welcome the bastard that she is carrying in her womb. I will discuss it with your father t
Mallory's POV:"Mallory..." I heard the voice whisper in my ear as I was fast asleep on the bed."Mmm," I tried to turn and push the figure away, but then the person looming above me yanked a handful of my hair."Ah!" My eyes snapped open, and I saw who was above me. "Ace Lennox. The Beta's son.""Ace... What are you doing here?" I asked him as I gazed at his honey brown eyes."Shh..." He hushed me by placing his right thumb on my thin pink lips."I came to see how you're doing. It's your birthday tomorrow. Don't you think you deserve a birthday gift?" Ace asked, as he stripped off his white shirt."What kind of birthday gift is that? Why don't you wait until tomorrow to present it to me?" I asked him, but he shook his head and replied, "No, Mallory, you deserve to have the gift tonight. It's very special, and I have been keeping it for you.""What's that?" I asked him, looking at his handsome brown face.Ace was our Pack's beta son. Even though I am an Alpha's daughter, I lost my resp
Mallory's POV:"Let me go!" I screamed, as my stepmother dragged me by my left wrist and led me outside my room door.I was nàked, and yet, she didn't care and wanted to report me to my father."Leave me alone!" I bit her right hand with force, and she flinched away and let go of me. I hastily ran back into my bedroom to get dressed as soon as possible."Mallory! Mallory!" She banged on my room door, and I knew that I would be reported.It was past 10 pm, and I looked at the door and went to pull it open after I was done wearing my clothes. I donned a red dress that was past my knee length, and black slippers.However, as I pulled my room door opened, my father, Alpha Bruce Adonis stood there and smacked me across the face, on my left cheek, as he sent me crashing on the floor."Mallory, what were you doing inside here in your room? And why does this place smell of sex? Who was he?" Dad growled and walked into my room, as he went to my bedsheets, picking them up angrily as he sniffed t
Mallory's POV"Good evening, Alpha, Luna. We saw Sonia arrived at our house and summoned Ace. What's the matter?" Ace's father, Beta Andrew, asked. He wore a white top and black trousers, and also his wife who wore a white night dress.My father looked at his Beta and sighed. "Mallory accused Ace of sleeping with her in her room. Is that true, Ace?" My father shifted his gaze to look at Ace, and Ace's parents gasped."What? Ace, tell me it's not true?" His mother, Lady Fiona, asked him.Ace looked away from his parents, his fist clenched as he looked at me. His lips hesitant to say the truth."Say something, Ace, and know that you cannot lie to Alpha Bruce. Did you touch Mallory? You know that she's a useless she-wolf. She has no wolf, no scent, and seems like an ordinary human. How can you mate with a curse like her?" Ace's father queried him, and my fist clenched."I am not a curse!" I screamed aloud, as I hated it whenever they call me that."Shut up, Mallory! You killed your mother
Mallory's POVI awoke and found myself on a bed in a white-painted room."What am I doing here?" I asked myself as I carefully sat up on this bed.I recalled the night and eve of my 18th birthday."Ace..." I tried to mindlink him, but there was no connection with my mate."Ace...." I got down from the hospital bed and saw that I was wearing a white hospital dress.I rushed out of the hospital room, and a nurse and doctor stopped me."Hey! Where are you rushing out to? Come back, here!" The nurse chased after me, and caught me by my left arm."Let me go!" I cried, wanting to break off from her strong hold, but she held me firmly."You are sick and brought in here as an outsider. You cannot go anywhere except to the palace for our Alpha's son to decide on you," the female nurse said, and I grasped my left hand away from hers and glared at her."What's that supposed to mean? Isn't this my father's pack? The Bright Moon pack?" I asked the young nurse, and she shook her head in shock."No.
Alpha Benson:"Benson, you have to forgive Emma and take her back as your mate. You need a Luna to govern this pack with you," My mother said, as she came into my bedroom to meet me.It was a bright Monday morning, and I want to go about the pack and visit the pack hospital, as well as other establishments that we have in the Crescent Moon Pack.I had finished having my bath and was dressing up in my room when my mother came in. She was a 45-year-old brown-skinned woman with orange eyes and red hair.Mom was beautiful, but she was speaking to me about accepting a mate who cheated on me. The moment I caught Emma Collins cheating on me with one of my pack warriors, I didn't waste time in rejecting her, and my mother wanted to speak to me about it.My only annoyance was that Emma and I already had a child together, and I don't want to see her or her baby. It made me feel like I was not the father of her 2-year-old daughter."Mom," I sighed, as I stood beside my bed, wearing a brown shirt

Alpha Benson's POV:As I continued working in my office, Beta Dennis reached out to me and reported, "Alpha, Titus from the pack's farmhouse reached out to me and informed me that your mother came there to request for Mallory to follow her.""Mm..." I frowned and paused the document that I was reading on my laptop screen."Did Titus allow my mother to take Mallory away?""No, Alpha. He did not," Dennis said, and I replied, "It's alright. Go on with your work.""Okay, Alpha." Dennis ended the mindlink, and I thought about Mallory for a moment.I could have taken her away from the farmhouse, but she was pregnant with another man's child, and I cannot stand seeing her with that pregnancy at the moment. I reasoned that it was best for Mallory to remain at the pack farmhouse.I continued with the rest of my work for the day and decided to go and see Mallory later when I was done with my tasks.***In the Bright Moon's Pack, Alpha Bruce Adonis was enraged after he had returned from the Cres
Alpha Benson's POV:It was a bright morning when I awoke in my room and prepared to leave for my company.I recalled the previous night's event of Emma coming to my room to seduce me. 'How can she expect me to take her back after finding a new mate?' I pondered and went to my bathroom to have my bath.As I got out of the bathroom and set to leave for work, a knock on my door interrupted my dressing."Who is there?" I asked with a calm voice and heard my daughter's response, "It's me."Celine has not been able to say many words, but she was a fast learner as an Alpha.I moved over to the door to pull it open and welcome my daughter into my room.Celine wore a white nightdress and she had not taken her bath."How are you, Celine?" I asked her, and she smiled, entering my room."I'm fine," she shyly replied and moved over to the bed to sit.I went to pick up my suit and wear it. As I turned to leave the room, I peered at my pretty daughter's face."Celine, Dad will soon be leaving for wo
Mallory's POVKelvin and two other guys chuckled at me. Then he said, "It's a harmless bath in the stream near us. And it's not like we're going to do anything intimate. The women and men have their baths there. It's fun."I looked at Kelvin's face and pondered, 'What if Alpha Benson caught me with him? Well, it's not like he had accepted our mate's bond. Or has he?'Selena growled in my head, "Do not listen to them, Mallory. We should find Eunice and go and have our breakfast. I am so hungry."I looked at Kelvin and his friends' faces, seeing them all wearing black shorts with their masculine chests fully exposed."Um," I gulped, my cheeks flushed. "I am sorry. Maybe next time I will join you guys. But I do not bath with men. Take care."I quickly turned around and ran out of the barn. I could hear one of the men say to Kelvin, "She is so beautiful, Kelvin. Do you think she will accept to date you? You are a Delta wolf, and what can you provide for her as she is an Alpha?""Relax, gu
Mallory's POV.As I worked with the men, carrying the sack of grains to the waiting truck. The first man who spoke to me smiled and commented, "I never knew you were an Alpha. I admired your strength and almost passed out thinking you would collapse with that big sack of grains." He chuckled heartily, and I smiled."I am an Alpha, and I do work at home. Though not this type of task," I recalled my stepmother used to give me laundry work to do. She tormented me, saying that I have to be useful, and my father turned a blind eye to it. As only Sonia was being treated like a princess back home.How unfortunate, because now, I do not feel like I am a princess either, and I love my new work."I am Kelvin Johnson. Nice to meet you, what's your name?" Kelvin asked me with a friendly smile as we carried another sack each and walked to the truck to put it."I am Mallory Adonis. Nice to meet you, Kelvin," I told him, and he grinned widely."Hey, you two! No discussion in the barn!" The superviso
Mallory's POV."Mallory! Mallory! Are you in there?" Eunice's loud voice reached my eardrum, and my heartbeat calmed."Yeah! I am in the bathroom, and I will be through with my bath soon," I replied with a loud voice, hearing the excitement in her voice."Alright," Eunice replied excitedly. "I will be here waiting."I hastened with my bath and got out of the bathroom wrapped in a white towel. I met Eunice's smiling gaze as she donned a red top and black skirt, and she wore black sandals too."Mallory!" Eunice squealed, rushing to wrap me in a warm hug."Good morning, Eunice. How was your night?" I asked her, and added, "I was not expecting to see you today. I thought that you are now mated to Alpha Bowen, you will be at home and maybe stopped working and making plans for your future.""No!" Eunice said, laughing as she moved aside for me to find my dress."Yeah! You're right that I ought to have gone to the palace to meet Alpha Bowen. But he told me last night that he doesn't want to
Alpha Benson POVEmma grinned and asked, "Do you want more soup, Alpha?" She reached to serve more food onto my plate as I was done with the one she had given me."No. You do not have to worry," I stopped her just as her hand reached for the large plate to add more chicken pepper soup to my plate."How about the drinks? Aren't you going to have more to drink?" Emma asked, as she grabbed a red wine bottle for me to drink. But I shook my head and refused."No. I am fine and you do not have to stress about that," I told her in a calm voice. Just as I reached for a bowl of water to wash my hands.Emma's gaze dropped, but my mother spoke, "Benson, there is still more food if you are not satisfied.""Thank you, Mother, but I am fine, and I have to return to my room now. Goodnight," I rose from the chair to leave the dining room.As I made my way to the top floor, I went to my room to have my bath and to rest for the night.A few minutes later, as I got out of the bathroom with a towel wrap
