BLAISE
I stood by the floor-to-ceiling window in my room, clutching a glass of wine and looking out over the beautiful greenery of the pack lands. I had stood at this spot many times, but the difference today was that Aurora was not here to wrap her angelic arms around me to give me that spark of life. I miss her and Evangeline so much. Anger brewed in me at the thought of my little pup. She did nothing to deserve death, and here I was, sparing the sister of my enemy, who deserved to die a hundred times and more.
I remember Markus very well. He was one of my warriors. I had viewed him as a good lad, and he was one of my trusted ones. I whirled the amber liquid in the glass and took a sip. I never knew he had other motions and intentions towards me. How dare he try to have his way with my Luna? And after that, he went ahead to kill her and my innocent pup. I squeezed my eyes, and the memories of the accident came back to me like cameos. I saw my Aurora's face; I heard Evangeline's shriek of terror; I saw the truck ramming into my car.
"Alpha? Alpha?" my servant's voice brought me out of the torture.
I spun to see one of the maids standing just a few feet away from me. She looked timid and clutched her hands demurely in front of her. Her eyes stuck to the floor as I looked at her.
"I...I... I have prepared your bath, My Lord," she stuttered.
"You may leave." I grabbed my cane firmly and limped towards the balcony.
The maid nodded tersely and walked away from the room as if she could not wait to be out of my sight. I stepped onto the balcony, where a hot tub was ready and waiting. Memories flashed in my eyes as I stared at the hot water. Aurora and I made endless love in this hot tub. The sky was dark and decorated with scores of stars. I let my robe fall and pile around my legs. I stepped into the hot tub, trying to blot out those memories, but they kept coming, making blood rush to my cock, which grew so hard and straight.
I was in heat and needed someone to let out my sexual and emotional frustrations on. I lowered myself inside the tub and gulped down the wine in the glass, staring at the tiny lights from different pack households surrounding mine. I heard the door in my room shut and footsteps approaching.
"Who is there?" I asked, sitting up on the tub, but whoever it was did not care to answer.
It was probably a woman because her heels clicked on the marble floor. My first instinct was that it was Agatha, my beloved cousin, but my eyes widened when the intruder showed her face.
"Sasha. What are you doing here?"
She stood there in sexy lingerie, covered only by a transparent robe, and wore six-inch red bottom heels. She had that sexy smirk on her lips.
"Miss me?" she asked in a sultry voice as she moved closer and gently untied the ropes on her robe.
My eyes greedily raked over her perfect body. Her perfectly round breasts, thin waist, rounded hips, and long, toned legs. She was a seductress and was here at the right time. She swayed her hips with each step she took towards me, making my already awake member throb.
"I asked a question," I croaked, trying hard to mask the lust in my voice. I was supposed to be grieving my beloved Luna and not reconnecting with my hot-as-hell mistress.
"I missed you, Alpha Blaise," she whispered as she slid into the hot tub, her eyes never leaving me.
There was a fire in her eyes, and I knew I could not put it out tonight because the same fire consumed every inch of me.
"I am not doing this, Sasha. We went our separate ways."
She was close to me now and wrapped her slim fingers around my shaft. I shuddered and gasped as she stroked me.
"That was because you got married. Now, you are single and thirsty." Her voice had grown thick with lust as she stroked my cock in the tub.
I threw my head back, squeezing my eyes shut, trying to stop the surge, but I saw flashes of us having good, hardcore sex.
"Sasha."
"I heard you kept the rogue who killed your Luna to fuck whenever you want." She slowly lowered her head into the water and wrapped her warm lips over my cock.
A low growl escaped my throat as my shaft throbbed, seeking a place to fill in. Suddenly, I no longer felt guilt. I have not had sex in two years, dead or alive; desire was innate. I lifted Sasha's head from massaging me and rose to my feet.
"Now, do what you are good at, bitch."
Sasha's eyes sparkled with raw lust as my hardened member dangled before her. Excitement was evident on her face, and it danced in her eyes as she curled her fingers around it again, stroking it lightly. I squeezed my eyes shut again, but this time, I was confronted by fiery emerald eyes staring right into my soul.
Lila.
Why do I think of her while I was with another? I have never thought about another woman while I was with another. No matter how active Sasha was, I never thought about her while with another. Sasha stuck out her tongue and let it dance over the cap of my cock. I ran my fingers through her blond curls, closing my eyes again. Lila's face came back at me. What started as confusion graduated into fury. She had no right to glare at me that way.
I will humble her.
She was wrong. She was not the victim and was supposed to be distraught by my presence. With that fury, I grabbed the back of Sasha's hair and pounded into her mouth. She guttled as my shaft moved in and out of her mouth, hitting the back of her throat, my balls smacking her chin. She clawed my thigh to let her go, but I did not. I held her head tightly until I fucked Lila's gaze away from me. I pulled out of her mouth.
"Grab the edge," I commanded.
Sasha gave me a questioning glance before she turned her back to me and removed her panties. In all our years of fucking, I am sure Sasha has not seen me this mad. But she obeyed and bent over the edge, shooting her rounded butt towards me, teasing me with it. She believed the angrier, the better. Her pink, slick cunt was on display, and she was dripping wet with desire. I walked out of the hot tub, walked into my room naked and snatched a condom.
She was still in that position when I returned with the condom already rolled on. I stood behind her, aligned my throbbing cock with her entrance and plunged in in one swift motion. Sasha let out a yelp, which melted into moans as I hit her from behind. Even with Sasha's sexual moans and my shaft pushing in and out of her pussy, I had only one person in mind. Lillian McKenna.

LILA
The prison gate clanged open, making me bolt upright. My confidence depreciated with each passing hour. My heart kept skipping at the thought of rejecting Alpha Blaise when he came for me. Markus strictly warned me not to have anything to do with Alpha or any high-ranking werewolf; they were all involved in his plight and were biased.
But how would I even believe my brother was innocent? Even if he was accused of almost having his way with the late Luna. What about causing an accident that killed the Luna, her innocent pup and rendered the Alpha almost handicapped?
Heavy footsteps approached me, and I laid back and waited. Every other person was asleep, or so I thought. At least there was no more noise from the other cells. I waited patiently for the person until they came and stood in front of my cell. Cassie was fast asleep and did not shake as the person came. I lay still, waiting to know what the person wanted. The prison was dark, but the moon allowed little illumination from the cracked roofs of the prison. It cast the shadow of a huge man in dark robes, and I heard my heart pounding in my ears. Whoever that was, was here for me.
The figure gently opened my cell gate and sneaked into my cell. He came closer to me and sniffed me out. He tried to put a piece of clothing on my nose, but I caught it before it reached my nose and inhaled some of the particles. Seeing that he failed at inducing sleep on me, he grabbed me quickly. I screeched and fought as he dragged me towards the exit.
My voice woke Cassie and the other prisoners. However, the figure dragging me away from prison was relentless, even with all the noise from the other prisoners. Cassie cried out and came to help me, but the figure hit her; she fell backwards and became still.
The figure only left me when the prison guards came rushing towards us. However, I did not know that it had left me, and it was Erick who now held me; I kept fighting.
"Hey, Lila. It is me. It is me," Erick whispered, holding me tightly to his chest.
When I calmed down and opened my eyes, I was surrounded by a few warriors, Ken inclusive. His dark eyes glared at me. He was the second in command of the prison guards and reported to Patrick. The warriors looked sleepy and annoyed that I woke them from their sleep. Erick helped me on my feet and supported me.
"What is going on there?" Patrick's voice boomed from the inner halls of the prison.
The other warrior made way as he approached. His eyes were still heavy, but they reproached me. I lifted my chin and started to speak, but Ken cut me off.
"Nothing. This rogue almost escaped but couldn't because of the noise from the other prisoners."
My mouth fell on the floor. "That's not true!" I yelled. "Someone attacked me!"
"Keep quiet!" Patrick commanded and scanned the faces of the warriors before his eyes settled on me again. "Who attacked you?"
"I don't know. He hit my..." My words trailed off as I recalled that the figure had hit Cassie, and she had not spoken since then. "Cassie?" I tried to leave Erick's grip, but he held me still.
"Young lady, are you making this up?" Patrick questioned me, looking into my cell. "What have you done to your cellmate?"
"I am not making this up. I was attacked by—"
"I saw him," Erick spoke up. "He wore a dark robe, and he was dragging her away. He fled when I got here."
The faces of the other warriors changed from amusement to seriousness, and they looked all around. Patrick stared at Erick.
"This is a serious proposition, Erick. Are you sure about what you said?"
Erick nodded and looked at me. I sighed with relief. If he had not testified, no one would have believed me. Ken had already concluded that I was trying to escape prison. Patrick's gaze shifted to me again.
"You have entered way too many troubles lately." He motioned to the other warriors. "Take her inside and chain her. Make sure the other rogue with her is still alive. Take her to the pack clinic if she needs attention. The rest of you, stand guard and be on alert. Erick, prepare; you will make a formal statement before the Beta and Alpha in the morning."
"Yes, sir," the men chorused.
Cassie suffered a concussion and was taken away from the cell to see the pack's doctor. I was left in my cell alone and scared, wondering who wanted to take me away from the cell and what they wanted with me until Erick returned to stand guard at my cell.
LILA FLASH BACK... "Markus, tell me the truth. Did you do it?" Nana asked. Markus stared at her for a while before shaking his head. "Nana, you raised me well. How could I possibly do it?" "Why will the Luna accuse you like that? Did you do something to upset her before this? Even at that, accusing you of rape to get back is too much." "Nana, do not worry—" "But I am already worried. Our names are in the mud. I can no longer sell my produce in the pack market because every member treats me as an abomination." Markus approached Nana, bent down before her, and held her hands in his. "Listen, Nana. I want you to believe that I am innocent, and I will prove it." "How?" I asked, speaking for the first time since Markus returned. "You said Alpha Blaise does not want to hear you out at all. How will you prove you are innocent when his Luna has produced evidence? She had torn clothes, and you were seen fleeing her chambers." Markus si
LILA I woke up when I heard the lock click. I must have slept off sometime after breaking the portraits. I blinked away the haze in my eyes and wiped my face. The door pushed back slowly, and I held my breath, waiting for the person at the other side of the door. Soon, Agatha came in, staring at the ruin I had done astonished, some female servants coming in beside her. "What have you done?" she asked. My stomach grumbled because of the lack of food and water. My throat was too parched to even produce a sound. I stared at her without saying a word. Agatha walked into the room and motioned for the girls to take me. The girls charged towards me. I was human and didn't have half the strength of these werewolf girls, and I knew that I could only be as stubborn as I wanted, but I would only succumb to their will. I will always do what they wanted from me, except for one thing— sleeping with the man who caused me all this misery. The girls grabbed me by the arms, and I d
BLAISE I paced restlessly in the hall of the pack's infirmary, livid. What had just happened? Lila believed I was playing sick games with her. Fainting in my arms and making me carry her here was not how I had expected the night to end. This wasn't like me; I usually had clarity of purpose. But in this case, I was clueless, mainly because she turned out to be my mate. I had searched for years to find my mate and came up empty-handed. I had chosen Aurora as my mate because I needed to secure the Alpha position. My love for Aurora was genuine and strong, even though she wasn't my true mate. How could I find my mate in this complex situation, especially when she was supposed to be my enemy, someone I was meant to eliminate? It felt like the moon goddess was playing a cruel game with me. The door creaked open, and the pack doctor and my best friend stepped out of the room. I turned to face him, my frustration apparent. "I swear, I will strangle that woman with
BLAISE I lay in bed, gazing at the ceiling throughout the night. The entire pack was quiet and dark. The absence of the moon denied our pack members the usual lunar transformation and basking under the moonlight. Yet, it wasn't the moonless night that kept me awake; it was the woman residing in one of the rooms in my mansion. She had found a way to infiltrate my thoughts, stubbornly clinging like a parasite, living rent-free within my mind and depriving me of sleep. I attempted to push her thoughts to the back of my mind, but somehow, she remained the sole occupant of my thoughts. She ignited a dangerous emotion within me that I did not like, yet I couldn't end it. I wanted to kill her as badly as I wanted to own her. I was faced with the arduous task of eliminating my mate, yet I couldn't muster the will to harm her. With a sigh, I shifted to lie on my side, reaching out to the empty space beside me where Aurora used to grace. I wanted to dwell on memories of Aurora, but Lila's th
WARNING: This chapter contains contents that may trigger some readers. AUTHOUR'S P.O.V. Blaise was seething with anger and was horny after Lila had refused him sex. He stormed into his study as soon as he left the room, utterly frustrated. How someone as small as Lila could provoke such intense frustration baffled him. How could he be losing control to a rogue, the bloodline of an enemy who had murdered his happiness and hope? He slumped into his chair, shutting his eyes in exasperation, hoping his body would calm down. Yet, the swell between his thighs refused to yield. His cock was stiff and demanded release, and he couldn't recall the last time he had resorted to eating his own flesh, but every fibre of his being craved that release. Grabbing his leather jacket and hat, he left the study and drove out of the pack house without informing anyone. Within minutes, he parked his car in front of a club, observing the bustling nightlife scene and people trooping in and out
BLAISE My eyes snapped open at the sound of a knock on my door. I blinked twice to clear the haze from my eyes. The knock came again, and the scent of Agatha filled my nostrils. With a sigh, I threw off the blanket and rose from the bed. My feet met the cold marble floor, and I nudged an empty vodka bottle aside, wiping my eyes with the back of my palm. Last night had been torturous, and I had drowned myself in alcohol to be able to find sleep. It was surprising that I only had a mild hangover after emptying a bottle of vodka the previous night. "Come in," I croaked, walking towards the closet for a shirt to wear. The door swung open, and Agatha entered, her arms folded across her chest. Her eyes scanned my dishevelled appearance, but I paid her no mind as I put on the shirt. "What happened to your body? Who did this?" she asked, concern clouding her face as she took a few steps closer. I quickly wore my shirt to conceal the whip marks Sasha had given me last night. I was not
LILA Another day to fight with Blaise had arrived, and I found myself at a loss for what to do. Meeting him today was unusually early, and I couldn't help but wonder about the reason behind it. I followed the guards quietly, assessing my own resolve. Blaise was like a god in terms of his looks; why did he have to be so attractive? When we reached his chamber, the guard knocked gently on the door and waited. "Come in," his voice boomed from inside. The guard gestured with his head for me to enter. I pushed the door open slowly and stepped inside. The sight that met my eyes almost made me cry out. Cassie sat in a chair with sealed lips, tears streaming down her face, while Blaise circled her with a shimmering sword. I took a cautious step forward, but he swiftly aimed the sword at me, halting my steps. "Please," the word escaped my lips before I knew it. "I should make you feel as much heartache as you have caused me," he murmured, weighing the sword. "Your brother attempted to
LILA Breathing deeply, I sank back onto the bed. Draped in a single, thin piece of cloth wrapped around my body, completely naked underneath, my skin tingled with vulnerability. Each footstep beyond the door sent my heart plummeting further into my stomach. As I glanced at the clock, I realised that the night was still young—too young for the ordeal that awaited me. Blaise is a bastard, and I hated him with everything in me, even though he was physically attractive. "Gosh," I whispered, rising and covering my face with my hands. "I am so messed up right now and am not supposed to think like this." I gripped the dressing table for support as my legs wobbled at the thought of losing my virginity to Blaise in such a way. Nausea bubbled up my throat, leaving a bitter taste in my mouth. Footsteps approached again, tightening the knot in my chest, and I opened my mouth to gasp for air since my nostrils were not letting in enough air. Relief washed over me when I recognised the
