MARSAI'S POVI could not believe that we had just failed the task. I didn't know what fate had in store for us, after this.Then I noticed that the ghosts looked as if something was communicating to them, then they looked back at us."You failed the task, but you have been graced. You will leave now and will be transported back to your destination." The first ghost said, then snapped his finger and in the blink of an eye, we were at the Benitoite forest."Thank goodness. We made it!" Alfred raised his hand for a high five, which we did.Then we began to walk around the forest, trying to search for the gem."It's really hard to find the gem. It is so rare and I guess that is the reason most people are after it.""Of course. These gems generates a huge amount of money for those in possession of it. They know very well that people covet it, so it is sold at a high price." Alfred said as he continued to search around the forest."I think we need to take a break. I'm kind of feeling tired.
“Bastard.”“Wolf-less girl.”“Rejected buffoon.”I tried to keep a poker face as I felt papers and garbage being tossed at me.At least no one brought spoiled milk to school today to throw at me because I hated the smell and it was quite hard to take the smell entirely out of my clothes when I didn’t have soap.The bell rang, signaling the end of school. I headed out to start trekking home before the seniors were out, because it was the rainy season and they would splash dirty water all over my clothes while they passed with their flashy cars.I was the most hated person in this pack. None of my parents were around, so I was stuck in the palace with the Alpha where he hit and abused me whenever he felt like it. The main reason I was hated was that I didn’t have a wolf or a mate.There were rumors that the reason was that I was a bastard, and my wicked father, who was a mafia boss, cheated on his wife with my mother, who was a human and I was born. He died and left me in the pack, whic
Alpha Asher’s POVI watched as the fire I set on the rogue in front of me crisped. I felt contentment course through my veins as he screamed and begged for mercy, his soul slowly moving out of his body. This was what I did to every rogue that comes into my pack and proceeds to create havoc amongst my people.I raised my head to look at the Epsilon’s of my pack that I brought to witness this. There was sheer disapproval on their faces over what happened. They were always trying to be positive—saying things like there are other ways to punish someone other than killing them, but I greatly disagree.My father, even though he was a shitty man, had taught me a lot of things to this day on how to become a good Alpha. One of the things he said that stuck to me was how every person that starts mischief in the pack will turn out to be like a cancer eventually, as time goes on.The only reasonable thing to do was eliminate them and then, no one would want to be the second scapegoat. It was why
Marsai’s POVI watched the clock as it struck twelve. It was time. I looked down at the dress in my hands, and my heart shattered. I wished I had someone that would shield me away from all of this. My father was not a good person. He was the leader of the mafia in the pack that terrorized the Crest Moon pack’s citizens.Alpha Alex had tried multiple times to drive him and his people away, but he was stuck. It was after his death that I was discovered. Everyone hated me because of his actions and when they found out that I didn’t have a wolf, all hell broke loose.I was taken to the Alpha’s palace as a servant to be the punching bag for him and his family.“Marsai, don’t tell me you haven’t gotten ready.” I heard Blair’s voice say at the other side of the door to my room.My heart rate increased. If she came in to find me like this, then I would be lucky to escape with just a few bruises.“I… I am almost done. Just doing the last touches.” I wiped my face, then stood up to my feet.I q
Alpha Asher’s POV“This city is big,” Rafael exclaimed as we came down off the jet and headed into the airport.This was the second time I was coming to an event in this town. The first time I was here was several years back when my father was the Alpha. He had come for an Alpha’s only event then, but it wasn’t an auction.It had something to do with a werewolf ring that they were about to auction, and my father bid the highest. Up till this day, I didn’t understand why he did that because we were lycans. We didn’t need it. I didn’t know where he kept it or what he did with it.“You are saying that like you aren’t coming from a bigger city,” I passed him a look, and he rolled his eyes.“Whatever.”We headed into the airport and we were greeted by the pack’s theta.“Welcome to the Crest Moon pack, Alpha Asher. We are pleased to see you here,” he bowed excessively.I gave him a quick nod, “Thank you.”He greeted Rafael too. Some of the airport staff started wheeling out our luggage. The
Marsai's POV The rumbling of my stomach troubled me to the extent that I thought I may die soon. My heart was in my mouth as I dashed off, before the dinner was over. Luckily for me, no eyes were on me. I didn't know what came over me but I knew it was a good thing. This may land me into trouble as I just dared Alpha Asher. The Alpha everyone is afraid of. My body still tingles whenever I remember his blood dropping into my mouth. I never wanted this type of life and I will do anything to change it. I could feel that Alpha Asher tried mind-linking me but I keep breaking off the mind-link with all my might. It used all my energy but that was what I had to do to avoid any communication with him. I was part of his pack now but I am not ready to yield to his biddings. I could feel him forcing his head inside my mind but I pushed him out whenever he tried. "Damn it. Can't he just forget about me?" I murmured under my breath as I kept running with all my might. I ran as fast as I co
Marsai's POV I twisted my body on the bed countless times as my eyes opened slowly. It was as if a heavy load had been relieved from my head.Stretching my arms out with my eyes wide open, the rays from the sun struck my face and I trembled.The scent of the house hit my nostrils and I could inhale a tiny bit of dust. Roaming my eyes around the place, I noticed something strange."How did I find myself here?" I asked no one in particular. The surroundings of the house looked deserted and the house was looking strange with its tiny windows.I tried recalling things but I could not. The last thing I was able to remember was a wolf staring at me.I jolted immediately from the bed and checked every part of my body looking for scars and deep cuts but I couldn't find any. I was very sure that I got an injury somewhere. How did it miraculously disappear?"You are awake," a thick voice called out and I took some steps backwards. A tall looking man was standing in front of me holding a tray."
Alpha Asher’s POVI walked out onto the terrace. This was one of the few places I felt like staying to clear my mind of some stupid thoughts. At this rate, I could kill someone if I'm not careful.I was alone and away from the prying eyes and curious ears of servants and spies. It was then it pricked me that not following my warriors was a foolish idea.It will be a lot easier to trace her since she drank my blood. I stormed out of where I was and barged into my room in the palace. I put on my battle clothes as if I was actually going for a battle.My royal apparel was hung in the wardrobe in my room. Anyone who sees me will think I was bringing war to the rogues or to the rival pack. No one's mind will go to the fact that I am actually going to get a girl.A girl I bought and ran away for reasons best known to her. She owes me so many explanations. Ranging from the reason she ran away to why she kept breaking off the mind link.I gritted my teeth when I remembered that and jumped int
