AQUAMARINE’S POV
The man's eyes seemed to bore into my soul, and I felt a knot twist in my stomach. Suddenly, red liquid spilled out of the mouth of the man in front of me and I gasped in horror. “W-what–” I stammered. I suddenly tasted bile in my throat as I watched in slow motion. The man's pupils dilated as he coughed out more blood. His gaze dropped, and I followed it, trembling in fear. Then I saw it. Lycan Alexander's arm. It was inside the man's chest. A loud shriek finally escaped my lips. My gaze flew to Lycan Alexander, but he didn't look bothered by it. Not even a single look of empathy. Instead, he smirked, twisted his hands further, and pulled something out. The man's beating heart. I immediately looked away as more blood splattered on my back. I jerked up as my heart pounded loudly in my chest as I tried wriggling away from Lycan Alexander's body, but the more I did, the more he pulled me closer in his arm. I heard a loud thud, but I didn't look back. “Felix, is that the best you could do!?” Lycan Alexander's voice echoed, but it was more like he was mocking him. That is it. The Devil. Now he would live up to his name. The merciless killer. How could he pull out someone's heart in a single move? And what was Felix thinking? There is someone in the pack who could take on Lycan Alexander? How foolish could he be? As Lycan Alexander walked forward, I closed my eyes, not wanting to see anything more gruesome. Then I heard screams echoing, and my eyes flew open. I looked around to see his men charging at the rest of my pack. Slashing them with their sharp claws, but not enough to kill them. “L-lycan Alexander, please stop.” I stuttered. Beads of sweat formed on my head as I spoke. I know I shouldn't have, I know it was stupid of me to ask him to spare their lives after all they had put me through. But the screams erupting from their mouths were soo hideous that it didn't sit well with me. They don't need to be dead if I want revenge. I want them alive to see me prosper. “You can punish them as you see fit. But please don't kill them.” I begged again, but this time I managed to look at him directly in his eyes. Hoping that he would somehow understand. But I was wrong. He simply stared at me like I had uttered the most useless thing he ever heard. His reaction was valid, but the killing wasn't right. At least, not now. Suddenly, a loud clap of thunder boomed, making me jump. I screamed and buried my face in his neck, shivering as the thunder roared more. Memories of Beta Liam locking me outside the house on rainy nights resurfaced. I had always feared the storm but Fiona and Sarah always derived joy in using it against me. Perhaps death was what my family needed, but it would be too easy for them. They need to feel everything I've felt before. I tried to steady my breathing as another lightning struck. Lycan Alexander adjusted the cloak and mumbled something before hissing. “Levi, get a maid. Tomorrow we’ll start our journey back to our pack. Tonight we will rest.” As he walked, tiny drops of rain began to drop on my body, sending shivers down my spine. I wish he would at least walk fast to get us out of here or drop me down so I could run and get shelter. Isn't he tired of carrying me already? He suddenly turned back, “Make sure nobody leaves their spot and give them a level 10 punishment. I'll decide on the rest tomorrow.” Level 10 punishment? What in the Goddess' name does that even mean? I was tempted to ask, but what if he decides to show me and not tell me? Levi and a maid from the palace followed closely behind us, the maid's eyes wide with fear as she glanced at me but I looked away. “Take us to the Alpha's room”, Lycan Alexander said, and the maid hurried forward, leading the way. As we entered the Alpha's room, I was struck by its grandeur. The room was spacious, with a large bed at its center. Lycan Alexander turned to the guard. "You know what to do. Make sure we are not disturbed." “Please spare me!” The maid fell to the ground begging but Levi dragged her out as her screams echoed. The door was shut immediately and I was left alone with the Devil. Lycan Alexander carried me towards the bed and my heart raced with fear. What did he plan to do with me? Would he try to force himself on me? Without wasting time, he set me down on the floor, and I tried to gain balance as I was carried for a very long time, but my legs were soo wobbly. I thought of running, but only a fool would. It would just be like I was running into my death. I still didn't look at him, I couldn't. His hands came down on my face, and I flinched back, but he caught me. He grabbed the cloak on my body. I looked at him with pleading eyes. I wasn't ready for this. No, I don't think I'll ever be ready for him. Physically, mentally, or in any other way. I wish I never made that promise to him. I wish there was a way to have a child without having sex, but that's like making honey without bees. There were numerous rumors about him being a ravaged beast in bed, leaving women drained and some even unable to walk properly for days. Yet, they came back begging for more. He growled and yanked the cloak off my body, leaving me to shiver under the cold air. My wolf kept hammering in my chest, ragging me to accept him but….. my body and my mind were weak. I couldn't even stand properly. Shouldn't he show mercy? Would he really have sex with me after seeing me in this state? Battered? Exhausted? He stepped back, staring at me from head to toe, yet, I couldn't read him. Maybe he hated my body. Somehow, it made me happy that he thought that way; maybe he would change his mind. I tried to cover myself with my hands with the pieces of my old gown I still had on but my efforts were futile. “Stop,” he ordered, and I froze. I looked up at him and he moved closer to me, nodding in approval. My eyes danced across his chest. Scars, lots of them. Evidence of his victories and murders. His hand went to my hair, he closed his eyes and sniffed it and my heart instantly jumped to my stomach. When he was done, his hand traveled down my breasts, molding them and lifting them. Like he was weighing them. My breathing hitched as my wolf sparked to life at his touch. Whining and begging me to take charge, but I refused. It's still too early. Maybe if I didn't give in to his touch now, he would leave me. I moistened my lips and tried my best to ignore the goosebumps that had spread across my skin. Fear? Anxiety? Pleasure? All of them were hitting me at once. Then his fingers went to my nipple, twisting, tapping, and pinching it. A moan tore from my lips as my wolf finally took control. My pussy clenched involuntarily. I held his arm to balance myself and I shut my eyes. Rubbing my thighs only made it worse and another moan escaped my lips. My mind was in a daze. I couldn't push him away or stop him. I never imagined my body would respond this way to a touch before. But he just growled slowly. His hand skimmed the surface of my belly and traveled down to my privates. Butterflies fluttered in my belly and my mind went into a frenzy. “W-Wa—,” My voice failed me. I gasped as he clasped it, running a finger through my soaked folds. I swallowed hard and my breathing hitched. My legs shook like leaves in summer and I bit my lips to suppress the sinful sound that came out earlier. I shouldn't have been enjoying it, but I couldn't stop the moans from spilling out of my mouth or the way my heart was pounding very loudly in my chest. He suddenly pulled me forward, pressing my naked body against his chest, and began rubbing my clit. I gasped as I felt his big bulge on my stomach, sending signals to my head and shivers down my spine. Although he was still clothed, I could tell that it wouldn't fit. I opened my eyes to see his golden-colored eyes staring at me. My heart did a flip back at the sight before my eyes traveled to his lips that were hovering against mine. As he began circling my entrance with his finger, I felt a shiver run down my spine. His fingertip pressed inside me, and I bit my lip, my head tilting back in response. His hot breath danced across my neck, making my skin prickle. "How can you be soo stupid?" he grunted.AQUAMARINE'S POVAs we rode I could not stop the queasy feeling in the pit of my stomach. My throat burned, and my mouth was bitter. My body was starting to ache and I could see little black spots dancing in front of me.It was already high noon but we hadn't even gotten to his pack yet, even though we traveled through the night.I stared at my trembling hands. "What's happening to me?" I muttered, and then my stomach made a very disturbing sound. I needed distraction from the burning sensation I was feeling inside.I looked up at Alexander and cleared my throat. "Lycan Alexander?" I said, "What was that thing that attacked us?"I waited for him to talk, but he didn't. "The vines and the face?" I asked again, but he avoided the questions.Alexander's jaw clenched, and he still didn't look at me. "Levi! Lead us somewhere with fewer trees!"I noticed other horses riding far away from him, or were they slowly drifting? Why? Did they perhaps feel the heat too? Or is this the way they sh
AQUAMARINE'S POVThe axe came down and my heart jumped out of my body. All I could hear was painful muffled screams.Blood rushed to my head, and I felt something snap inside me. I pushed past Alexander, but he caught my arm and lifted me to face him. His face was inches away from mine, and I couldn't feel the hardness of the earth underneath my feet.“Yo—”I didn't let him finish.I tilted my head and sank my teeth into his hard skin. When I eventually tasted something metallic and bitter, he released me and I crashed to the ground.I rushed to where Levi stood.“How dare you touch her?!” I screamed and shoved him away. I stared at Katherine’s still form on the floor, and my body seemed like it was instantly thrown in chilling water.Her hand was still intact and no part of her body was missing. I released a shaky breath as I placed my head on her chest. Her heartbeat was normal, and her breathing was soft.“Luna Aquamarine, she was try—”“Not another word.” I snarled at him. My tre
AQUAMARINE'S POV An intoxicating scent woke me up. My nose twitched, and my stomach grumbled. I closed my eyes and sniffed the air, taking in a mouth-watering scent.I followed the smell to the edge of the bed. A large plate sat on the tray, and my eyes fixed onto it.Food. Real food. Not the scraps I'd scavenged from Beta Liam's house. When was the last time I even ate? Yesterday? 2 days ago? My hands trembled slightly as I lifted a piece of meat to my lips. I closed my eyes and chewed, savouring the taste... flavours dancing on my tongue."Mmm..." slipped out between my lips."I thought you died last night." A deep voice echoed.My eyes snapped open, and I looked up to see Alexander fully dressed, standing in the doorway.His eyes were on me, just like last night.I swallowed hard, but I started coughing, my lungs burning.Alexander raised an eyebrow, and his lips seemed to twitch a little.Wh—My body jerked forward, hands flying to my throat, grasping it tightly. The coughs rac
AQUAMARINE'S POVThunder boomed outside and lightning cracked. My heart raced at the heavy sounds of rainfall, reminding me of the storm outside."Stupid?" I repeated, my voice barely above a whisper.Stupid?For what exactly? Accepting to give him an heir despite knowing I'm weak? Or is it because I believed him when he defended me earlier today in front of the pack? Or am I stupid for believing that he would take me to be his mate and his Luna?I raised my head up to meet his gaze, but then he inserted a single finger inside my softness. I gasped wide-eyed, and my knees trembled as I tried to escape the sudden stretching foreign to me. My heart was pounding loudly in my chest as his fingers wrapped my neck, giving it a squeeze."You think mercy makes you great? That it makes you powerful?" he mocked, raising an eyebrow at me.My lips parted, but his finger went in a little deeper than it was. The words I wanted to say died on my lips and a moan slipped out. Why does he have to s

AQUAMARINE'S POV My breathing hitched as my wolf stirred within me. I stared at Lycan Alexander as those words escaped his lips, and his eyes seemed to darken under the sunset. “You will give me that.” He said again, staring at me as he stopped walking, his arms tightening around me, holding me securely against his chest. I didn't know if it was an order or a threat. But it made me shudder in his touch. I felt a flush rise to my cheeks as I realized I was still in his arms, partially naked and dependent on him. I gripped the cloak tightly against my chest, trying to cover myself, but it wasn't doing much to calm my racing mind. I opened my mouth to speak, but what could I say? I made that promise to Fiona out of anger, and now I was trapped. But what would I rather do? There was no way I would let her put such accusations on me. I wasn't barren. I hadn't even laid with any man before, so why should I be scared? But his demand for an heir caught me off guard. Wanting a child
