I am shocked when I discover that the man in front of me is King Alonso, but I don't show it. I don't want to act impress for some reasons, especially not when he just sees me as something he can use. Yes, that is what I call it. Why does he not want to tell me the real reason why a king would settle for an omega? His request is unsettling in my stomach. His offer is juicy. His Kingdom is greater than my father's territory, so it would be possible that he protects me. It is understandable on my own side why I would want to marry him, but why would he want to marry me? What would people say? What would he tell his people? What reason would he give them that he married an omega- the weakest of the pack?I stay motionless on the bed as I watch the overshadowing man on his back on me, picking up his phone. I am relieved a little when his attention is no longer on me, but still I am not comfortable. Is deep voice feels the air as he talks to the other person on the phone“What is it, Leo?
I lay on the bed staring straight at the white ceiling. I am lost in confusion and I feel so much despair. Suddenly I feel my stomach growling- it is sharp and painful. I remember that I have not eaten since… I can't even remember now. I feel the ache in my stomach grow more and more, but I don't even have the energy to move. I feel so weak nowI shift uncomfortably on the bed, my hand is feeling around the bed to find my purse. But then I realise almost immediately- my purse- I don't think I have seen it since I woke up. My purse has my money in it and I think it is gone!My money is gone. I have saved it up for months in a hole I had dug in my room. It had not been easy since I rarely got any money of my own, but I started running small errands for the big girls in school - that is how I got money to save up. I have been stashing up every coin I could, planning my escape from the pack. All gone now, like it's air from cigar slipping out of my lipsI feel my body shutting down in dis
“Oh, I am still alive,” I yawn loudly as my eyes flutter open sleepily. I didn't even know when I slept off. After eating, I had been so full and tired that I decided to rest a little. Maybe it was then that I slept off. I feel a little bit victorious because I am alive, though my body aches from sleeping in an awkward position on the bare floorI stretch my hands, but my muscles protest in pain from my movements. My ankle still screams from where I sprained it earlier, but I noticed that the pain is now manageable when compared to beforeI am trying to stand up when a knock comes on my door. I am a little bit scared and apprehensive but not like the first time- perhaps because I have already subjected myself to whatever fate awaits me“Hello, Miss,” the familiar voice of the staff that came earlier filters in through the door. Her tone seems urgent- a type of urgency that wasn't there before. I move closer to the door to hear her properly“Miss, I came here to tell you that you have
Leah's POVAs I watch King Alonso’s car disappear father and father away from me it makes my blood boil. My blood even boils more when I think of the fact that Alora is in the same car with him and she is probably frolicking around with him. I induced her heat, she must probably be throwing herself at him and he must probably be touching her body by now. It could have been me!He chose her instead of me! How dare he!? How dare she!? How dare the both of them!? They both made me look like a fool. I'm standing here watching my chances of becoming the queen of the Alistair Kingdom slip away from my hands like fine sand because of that worthless omega wolf!“Get out of my sight!” his simple words had sounded in my ears. He dared to talk to me as if I am a common werewolf who is nobody in the pack. Even his Beta was trying to explain to him the nature of my status in the pack to him, but he didn't care. Instead he made a mocking remark about meThe memory of how he dismissed me feels lik
Alora’s POVI don't know where I am going to go to , but I am happy that I am finally escaping. The pack border is just in front of me and my plans are seemingly attainable in my head. My disguise has worked well so far but my heart nearly stops when I see the increased number of patrol guards at the border. Something is different today- the usual pattern I memorised has changed. I wonder whyI try to maintain my elderly woman disguise, balancing the laundry basket of my head to gain a little bit of pity when I want to cross. I don't want them stopping me. But the environment is not helping me now, the morning sun is beating down on my shoulder making the shawl on my head almost unbearable because of the heat. I am suffocating as sweat trickles down my shoulders. I am contemplating removing it, but I can't. Not when I am in front of the border and the patrol guards“Stop right there, woman,” a big guard calls out to me. “Did you not hear the Alpha's order that we should check every
Leah's POV“Yes she has been stealing all our money to give to those boys that sleep with her!” I open up the purse and let the money and coins flow out of it like a river. Earlier, I had put my money too into the purse to buttress my point when I finally tell mum and dad.“I said it!” Mum shrieks as she has been doing all through the night. “I said this girl is loose,” she clasp her hands on her chest dramatically. “Even after all my monitoring, she still finds the time to be a brat!”"She's brought shame to this family again," Father declares after mum speaks, his deep Alpha voice making me shiver a little. "When she returns, I'll make sure to deal with her"If she returns," I remind them softly. "She left willingly with King Alonso. She forced herself on him. Who knows what she'll do to trap him? She might try to force a mating..."Mother screams before I can even finish. “That little…” she stops mid way and just screams in frustration"Perhaps," dad says, cutting off Mother's rant
“Alroa?” this is the first time I see that his attention is piqued. “So she is your sister?” I see a frown on his face.“Yes… yes,” I hate that I am stuttering so helplessly. I don’t want him to assume that I am week. I want to be bold before him. I have to get used to his eery and commanding presence. Is this how I would behave towards him when we get married?“Do you know she was drugged last night?” his eyes narrowed dangerously to meet mine as if he suspects me. “And all you did was rant about how I should pick you. If you didn't mention it now that she is your sister, I wouldn't have known that she is not your worsr enemy”“What… no…” I deny sharply, even though in my head I am agreeing that Alora is my worst enemy. That bitch! What has she told the King about me? I hope he doesn't know a thing about what I did. Gosh! When I lay my hands on that slut, I'll make sure to squeeze out her miseraby life out of her weak body“Did you do it?” he accuses me sharply“Hun?” The accusation
Alonso's POV“King Alonso… Kinh Alonso…” Leo's voice calls out to me as he approaches me. From the tone of his voice I can tell that something was wrongI turn around and stare at him, giving him a face that says that he should go on with it already.“Your majesty,” Beta Leo started . “Alpha Harry Midnight of the Midnight Pack arrived earlier with his daughter, Leah. They wish to…” he rolls his eyes at what he is about to say. “They wish to apologise for the commotion and embarrassment their daughter and sister, Alora, caused at the ball…”“Foolish… foolish people” I growl immediately. What kind of audacity do they have to spread that type of narrative about Alora when the weak wolf girl had been poisoned under their watch in their very careless pack. I have just returned from ensuring that she is safe and settled at the hotel where I put her and now I have to deal with this stupid visit from her family? It is so pathetic!“Where is Alpha Harry now?” I say in an angry voice“He lef
Alora’s POVFive words- words that have thrown me off balance“Your mother died when you were born…” is that not what Agatha said?” Melody is confusedI cannot breathe properly. My legs heavy and shaky. The twins are still crying. Everything is chaotic amd my head swimsThe door is thrown open as two servants rush in"Your Majesty!" exclaims the second servant as she hurries to my side to hold my shaky body. “What has happened?"I open my mouth, but I cannot speak, I just gasp"The children are crying " the first says, lifting my son from his crib."Your Majesty, please sit before you fall,” thesecond says as she guides me to the nearest chair,"Go and call the king!” the first commands, but I don’t know who she is commanding, but the door slams and I hear running"It's a trick," Melody insists. "Someone is pranking us”But what if it isn't? What if my mother has been alive all this time?The first servants manage to quiet my son, ans she moves to mu daughter"Stop crying little princ
Alora’s POVSix months later, I am lying in a hospital bed, holding the sheets because of my contractions. I hate how I feel"Push!" Dr. Belimah commands meI push with all my strength, a guttural scream tearing from my throat as I feel like I am tearing up. The pain is so bad. It feels like my body is splitting in two and then scattering like sand"Please, I can't," I cry, “I can't do this anymore. Please."Melody growls inside me. She is in pain too. “Let us try, Alora!”Another contraction hits, and I scream again. The midwife wipes my forehead with a cloth while Dr. Belimah positions herself between my legs."The head is crowning," she announces. "One more big push, Dr White. You can do this!” At this point I almost give out that my name is not White, but AloraSummoning strength, I push with everything in me- I want this done with. After this baby, I don’t think I will ever allow myself to be pregnant again. I feel an intense burning sensation in my private part as it stretches l
Alora’s POVI can't process it all. I sink to my knees, tears streaming down my face. My real mother- a woman named Helen who loved my father. A woman who died thinking her baby was dead, never knowing I lived.Through my tears, I see movement in the corner. My father is shaking, silent tears streaming down his face. Helen was the love of his life. He has been trapped in his paralysed body all this time, hearing everything, unable to speak or move.Lucas has disappeared- he slipped out during the chaos, probably to find his mother and siblings, to get them away from this cursed place.I wipe my tears and stand. I am the white wolf. I cannot be weakI walk to my father's wheelchair and kneel before him. Looking into his eyes, I see how sad he is. How he regrets abandoning me. Without even touching him, I heal him gently"Come back," I whisper. "Your wolf, your strength, your voice, your entirety. Come back to us."The poisons Agatha has been feeding him neutralises. His suppressed sta
Alora’s POV“Are you not sleeping with the guard!?” I say in utter disgust***“We can share, that is why we are a team,” Agatha says with a broad smile as if enjoying how disgusted I look“You what!?” I scream, losing control at the amount of atrocities being committed in this house. Even father shakes visibly at the revelation. I can see his face cort slightly in disgust- the highest reaction he can give. He is sick, paralyzed even, but he is not deaf. Even Lucas seems to understand this part. He pauses and looks at them, confusion and disgust equally in his face“You know what, I don’t care what the both of you do with your bodies. I just came here for dad”I proceed to move toward Lucas slowly, reaching out to him carefully. His mind is shattered, broken by grief and possibly magic. Agatha has always dabbled in the atrocities"I can help you," I say to himAs I approach Lucas, I feel a sudden movement around me. Melody screams warning me as Agatha and Leah move with wolf speed, t
Alora’s POV"Alora, my dear daughter. How rude. Not even a hello to your mother? After all that I have done for you?"I want to ask her what she has done for me ever since I lost consciousness order than make me feel worthless, but I did not come here to trade words with her. "I did not come all the way from my kingdom to this pack to exchange pleasantries," I reply coldly. "I cannot pretend we are on good terms, Agatha. I come for my father."“You now call me Agatha? Not even mother?” she fakes her shocked response“I started calling you by your name a long time ago, you were just too cruel to notice. You saw me as nothing, so you did not notice. Now I am something, you want to form a bond between us, a collaboration of mother and daughter, but that would not happen!”Her smile falters slightly, but she regains herself. “And why is that?” she asksBefore I can respond, the side door opens and Leah who excused herself earlier because she could not stand my presence and she and Agatha
Alora’s POVAn older woman steps into my path, falling to her knees because she cannot look at my face. I know her- she is Fiona, the she-wolf who once worked in the pack house kitchens. She was in fact wicked to me. Sne called me useless a lot of times, smacked my face and hit my head on the wall whenever she had the chance to. Ahe only stopped when I was grown and after I fought her back one day, stabbed her arm with a pair of scissors. I wonder what she wants now. She must be delusional to think that I will help her with whatever request she is about to mas"White wolf," she says with a shaky voice. Even she is judging herself. “Please, help us. Our land is dying."I stop, looking around properly for the first time. The Midnight Pack territory looks... horrible- even worst than how the Alistair kingdom was looking like bef I broke the curse. The trees are withering, fields that should be green, lush and fruitful are barren. The people themselves look thin, their clothes worn out.
Alora’s POV“I will bring him to you. White wolf”“Do not come with him. Send him alone- with a few guards at most”“Come to me then. Come to the pack and see your father”***“I will not come to you. Send my father to me immediately”I seal the letter and send it. I should use a phone to send the message, but this is royal business and no royal business should be sent as text messages- it is disrespectfulAs I watch the messenger leave, I place my hand on my growing belly. I have not told Alonso about the baby. I cannot bear to see him yet."He deserves to know," Melody says to me. She has been of the opinion that I tell Alonso about the baby, but I have been adamant"How many times do I need to tell you that I need time?” I say to her“Just listen to me,” Melody persists. “I am your voice of reasoning, and…”I cut her short. “My new life as Dr. Joha WhiteMoon in this small kingdom gives me peace. The people here appreciate my healing abilities without questions about my past. I hav
Alora’s POVWhen it's over, I feel powerful in a way I have never experienced before. Alonso looks up at me in wonder."You did it," he whispers. "The curse?""The white wolf is a curse breaker," I explain, helping him sit up."How do you feel?" Leo asks, crouching beside us."Whole. Free," Alonso replies, his voice filled with awe. He turns to me, taking my hands gently. "You saved me. After everything I did to you, you still saved me."I feel so many emotions at once. I am happy that he is alive, but I am unhappy at the way he treated me. Come to think of it, I was ready to fight for our love even after he handed me divorce papers. I know that the child in Elena’s womb is not his, but there was a chance of him getting her pregnant and he took it. He was even happy that he was going to have a child with Elena. He was ready to discard me when the child showed up. He does not need me "I couldn't let you die," I say simply- I think these words convey everything I feel right now"Alora,
Alora’s POVThe mind control spell is not as strong as Kaiser thinks it is. I am aware of everything, trapped in my own body as Kaiser's magic forces me to obey. I allow it to happen. I allow the prophecy to happen- the king has to seek the white wolf. If I don’t allow Kaiser to do what he wants to do, the prophecy would not be fulfilled. So I allow him as he makes me share secrets about the kingdom,“We are going to deal with him when he was expect it”When Alonso bursts through the doors during the ritual, my heart leaps despite everything. He looks terrible- thinner, paler, the poison Elena has been giving him clearly is taking his. Yet his eyes blaze when he sees me. I still feel butterfly fluttering in my stomach, but when I think of the things he has done to me, the effect reduces"Let her go," he growl. I cannot help the reaction I have to his voice- more butterflies that I tried to kill when I think of him and what he did to meKaiser's spell forces cruel words from my mouth,
