|| ASHINA LEVITSKY's POV ||
" Damn you, Anya!! "
I muttered with a scowl on my face, crashing my feet on the muddy ground. It was the main land of Red Moon Wolves in where I could find that jerk, Torvar Kessler. Anya's words left me questioning my morality since she was the only one who took care of me.
Glancing around, I tried to find a way to go forward. After taking several steps into the woods, I heard a low gutteral snarls around. Whipping my head back, I saw a group of shifted werewolves, standing with their cannies in a threatening manner. My heart almost flew out of my chest in fear. Definitely, they sensed threat and came to hunt me down.
I began to speak hurriedly when they started to approach me slowly,
" Hey!! Wait!! I came to meet your Don! I mean, no threat but it's really important..where can I find him?"
As if they heard nothing, their snarls became more obvious, so they were determined to fight with me. Cursing under my breath, I turned around and started running into their pack house without looking back. They were at least six and I wasn't capable enough to fight against them. Better, a marathon race would solve everything.
I ran harder until my foot was stumbled against the rock and my beautiful face fell into the muddy ground,
" Ahhh!! "
I smelt pretty bad, covered in mud and dirt. To my surprise, I didn't feel that they were still chasing me. However, a familiar presence soon alarmed my wolf inside.
" Oh my my! What a beautiful way to greet my sister-in-law?"
Torvar's deep voice echoed in the air, sounding sarcastic. My face went pale to find him, smiling devilishly at my state. I jumped up straight to curse at him,
" Fuck your stupid wolves!!! I was telling them to stop but they never heard it out. Wait...you..you did it on purpose??"
I was suspicious since he didn't show any reaction of surprise. He let out a dark chuckle, looking down at me teasingly,
" How can I forget about the sweet kick you gave me, my dear sister-in-law? You must thank the moon goddess that your legs are still safe with you."
Goddess..I hated this fucking guy so much...!!
I scoffed with a growl, attempting to throw a punch at him,
" You.."
But my fate didn't go well this time. Another step, the ground failed to balance my gravity. The following moment, I slipped on the ground again, ready to hit my ass shamefully in front of Torvar Kessler. A strong pair of arms pulled me up, helping me to stand on my feet. To my surprise, my wolf purred at some weird feelings.
Torvar's voice rumbled out unhappily,
" Careful, Sister-in-law. I don't want my mate to think that I have hurt her dear sister."
I got away from him uncomfortably and recalling the important matters. Slamming the letter on his face, I muttered, rubbing on my arms to shake off this uneasy feelings,
" Anya asked me to give to you. Write the response fast. Our father isn't allowing us to use any phone."
Torvar narrowed his eyes, opened the letter hurriedly. The moment, he read the content, his jaw clenched in anger. He looked up at me as if he wanted to murder someone. I almost fainted from that menacing look of his red eyes. No wonder, he was called the dark Alpha.....

" Ash..Will this blue suit me? Gosh..I am so nervous..", It was Anya again, whining about her wedding dress for the past few hours. I was flabbergasted by my sister's sudden turn of emotions. Yesterday, she was against the wedding. But now, she sounded enthusiastic as if she couldn't wait to get married.
What did Torvar say? Did he plan to let go of her that easily?
Dismissing my puzzled thoughts, I replied with a smile, trying to bring the peace atmosphere once we had in the house,
" Yes! Blue suits you the most."
Her smile turned wider as she chose it as her final one. However, she shifted on the other side to pick semi-bridal attire and chose a dark blue one for me. She showed me the sleeve cut-gown excitedly,
" Here! I think, this will look sexy on you."
I rolled my eyes and saw the tight-slim dress which would show my curves very clearly. It looked like sexy party wear rather than semi-bridal attire. I snorted lightly, scanning through the other ones,
" Gosh.. It's your wedding, Anya..not mine!!"
Anya let out a mischievous grin and replied meaningfully,
" Oh honey! You are forgetting that you will turn 18 exactly at my wedding. Did you think that I didn't notice how excited you are to have Blaze as your soulmate? Come on, don't tell me that you want to appear in front of him with this shabby look. Men are easily seduced with Bodies. That's the bitter truth. Come on, take this one, okay?"
When I refused to choose the attire, she used her brand new threat for me,
" Fine! Fine! No one will nag you after my wedding. Hmph! You will be all alone in this room."
I gave up on her sweet threatening and decided to follow her wish not before making a warning glare,
" Just for you!"
She grinned, winking at me meaningfully,
" You will thank me later! Trust my eyes!"
________
Several hours later, the wedding ball rang at our pack house. As the Mafia Princess of Russian Bravta, all the gangsta wolves were present at our backyard wedding to join Anya's wedding.
However, my nerves were wrecking hard. On one side, I was turning 18 tonight and on the other side, my sister was going to marry someone who wasn't her mate nor did she have feelings for this guy.
Unable to control the tension, I decided to check on Anya, dragging myself numbly from her wedding venue. As I made my way upstairs to her room, I bumped onto someone, almost fell off. However, solid arms caught me up at my place. His familiar mint flavoured scent invaded my nostrils,
" Be careful, Princess!"
I blushed, biting the corner of my lips. It was Blaze, our Beta's son who happened to be my good friend also. His amber eyes looked closely at my outfit. His lips slightly curled up amusingly,
" You look sexy today!"
I was almost out of breath after my crush confessed that I was looking good. Damn Anya! She surely had a good eye. I pushed the strand of the hairs behind my ears, thanked shyly,
" Thank..thank you...I was going up to Anya."
Blaze came to his senses and opened the path for me, still smiling,
" Oh it's right! It's almost the wedding time. Umm..If I am not wrong, you are turning 18 tonight, aren't you?"
My heartbeat sped up abruptly as I gave him a sheepish nod. His face just bloomed in happiness. He murmured softly in heavy breaths,
" I can't wait to see you turning 18."
I almost turned red from his open flirting. Blaze had barely spoken about his feelings. Something changed him today. Whatever, I was running late for real. So, I made a quick escape from the stairs, leaving him in amusement,
" That...I should find Anya first...See you later, Blaze.."
When I entered Anya's room, I was welcomed with an empty room. Twisting my lips in shock, I glanced around the room and finally saw...that broken window....
A startled gasp left my mouth when I saw the broken glasses on the floor, Anya's wedding dress was missing too. I stood there numbly, holding a piece of glass in my grip as I tried to remember her suspicious activities these days. From the distance of the backyard, I heard the guards reporting to my father in panic,
" Alpha Don, the princess....the princess has run away from her room..."
Lisa didn't turn her face back to ensure her assumptions. She continued walking without turning back and stopped only after she found Ronica's Prison.Ronica grinned at her widely when she saw Lisa coming in and assured with a smile," Come faster, Lisa. They aren't here anymore."Lisa nodded her head hurriedly and went up to unlock the gate hastily. Her mind went wildly when the thought of being caught came across her mind.She opened the prison door cautiously and tiptoed over Ronica who was chained badly. A sympathy flashed across her eyes as she bent down to unwrap her chain and spoke in a sorry voice," It must be very hard for you! Look at you! They are so cruel."Ronica gave her a half smile and breathed in her first heir of freedom after Lisa removed the chain from her body. Ronica stood up holding her palms together and spoke out with gratitude for saving her life," I don't know how to thank you, Lisa. If you didn't let me out, perhaps I would have died in this prison one da
It was evening time when she came down to inform her parents that she would be heading off for Caroline's house today. Caroline assured her to send off soon. After that trumatised incident, she began to spend more and more time with others to erase such fearsome thoughts from her mind.His dad stared at her flying back blankly. His old wrinkled face contoured in worry. A helpless sigh came out from his lips. Hanging his head down lowly, he fell in dillemma untill Mrs. Adams tapped on his shoulders. Glancing up at her husband worryingly, she asked in a low voice," Have you told her yet? I..I am sure that she will understand us."Mr.Adams shook his head denying. He knew his daughter too well. Apart from being sensitive, she was too stubborn and adamant to focus on her perfect career only. There was no way out that she would agree to get married with him so soon.Things had happened according to Lucien's plan. Just a day ago, he met Isabella's father personally and showed his intention
" Do you take Lucien Xander Mitchell as your lawfully wedded husband, Miss Isabella Adams?", the priest chanted the last question of their vows.Isabella stood there absentmindedly. The day of their wedding had come sooner than she expected. As soon as her father sent the message to Lucien that they were agreed with his proposal more likely a business deal, Lucien made no delay in marriage. Right after two days later on, their wedding venue were arranged simply outside of Isabella's house. Her parents wandered why did Lucien wanted to keep the wedding a secret. Appearently he was the infamous CEO of town right away. His followers would have gone insane in happiness that their honourable CEO was finally married. But they had no other choice but to follow Lucien's order. Except Caroline and Mia, only few neighbors were present as the audience of their wedding.Drapped in a long transparent milk-white veil, Isabella was looking like a fairy from tales. The blue diamond necklace around he
Her chest tightened in pain. She just wanted to yell at her own fate that why was she destined to marry a creature. On the contrary, Lucien was having the exact opposite reaction. His wolf howled in joy, purred in extreme happiness when his mate finally agreed to become his officially. Not much Lucien's human side cared too much since he had inserted the thought inside his mind that everything was happening just because they had a faithful mate bond.Cheers of clap thundered around when the event came to an end. Isabella forced a smile for the audience out there. Caroline and Mia were extremely happy for their best friend. Coming over to greet the newly wedded couple, Caroline couldn't help but shamelessly taking her credit," Look, Look! I just did a perfect match. Come on, brother-in-law. You both should give me a treat."Lucien pulled his lips into a smile. Indeed if Caroline didn't invite Isabella in her home party, nothing would have happened between them. To show respect to his
The position made her body stiffening in embarrassment eternally. He was standing between her parted thighs. His shoulders tensed up as he trapped her between his two slender arms. His eyes gleamed in unknown anger, ready to brust out but for some reason, he was taking slow pace.His order rang in her ears, enough to feel a shiver running through her spine. Isabella cursed herself for forgetting the fact that she was dealing with a beast not a human. From the scornful heat of his eyes, she could assume that how much her words angered him.Lucien demanded for another command again, getting impatient over this weeping silence between them," REPEAT! "His hoarse voice shook her body lightly. Her feet shuffled together uncomfortably. A part of her wanted to yell back at him but it would only bring dangers upon her. Isabella muttered after taking a lungful breath as her encouragement," I just spitted the truth. We..we aren't meant for each others."She spoke before lifting her head up t
The aftereffect of her dream left her breathless. Isabella's eyes flew open widely, terror flushed on her expression. Out of her consciousness, a shine layer of thin sweat formed on her forehead.Isabella sat up breathlessly. Her breathing turned erratic as she tried to process what she saw in her dream. The dream felt so real as if she was transformed into another world, into another person. The satisfaction that she felt for stabbing Lucien was definitely weird. She never believed in killing people or seeking revenge on someone.Was it all just a bad dream or a hint of her future?As the thoughts clouded her mind, Isabella looked outside at the sky blankly. A loneliness creepted through her mind when she found herself all alone after waking up from a nightmare. Until yesterday, she was imagining of having someone in her life who would wake up by her side each morning. But now everything was nothing but a wishful thought only. In the end,she was all alone in this marriage.After putt
The entire ride towards her university was silent. Ever since she learnt from Lucien that Ikaya wasn't his girlfriend but fiancee, Isabella had the feeling of running back to her house. All the while, she felt like a home wrecker who suddenly barged in their blissful life.Lucien was driving the car personally. From time to time, he noticed how absentminded she was. Isabella was snapped back to reality once she heard his car horning. Swiping her gaze around, she found that they had nearly arrived at her university.Isabella kept unbuckling her seatbelt then heard Lucien's cold voice," Keep our marriage secret from public. I don't want to get you into trouble."His careless voice reminded her once again that they were in a contract marriage literally. Without meeting his eyes, Isabella responded mumbling on her words," Yes, Your Highness! "Lucien snapped his head back to narrow his gaze on her slightly. Though everyone addressed him with respect, such respective words from her sound
Lucien strode through the elevator with a stern face. One hand holding the tablet, he was scrolling through the latest news of capital where the news of his marriage with Isabella made several headlines. His jaw clenched and eyes snapped behind to glare at Vincent who was as surprised as he was," How did all happen?"Lucien tried to conceal the news for the sake of Isabella's safety. Though he was living in mortal world, his enemies were everywhere. If Isabella was just another werewolf, it wouldn't have been a issue for him. But she was human and weak by nature. His enemies would definitely make her as their sole target. He wanted to keep her secret as long as possible. Letting others know about his human mate would definitely invite unnecessary troubles. Nevertheless to save that his relam was still unware about their new queen.Vincent replied shaking his head unknowingly," I don't know, Milord. I have closed all the way of leaking this news. There is only one possiblity left tha
Lucien entered into the scene right after the car had taken her away. Stepping out of the car,he could hear his mate bond getting weakened for no reason. His scornful eyes swiped across the surrounding but there was no proximity of Isabella nearby. His wolf spatted inside his mind.Mate. Help. Danger! His jaw clenched in anger when Vincent searched around and learnt the news that Isabella had came out of the lesson very first. She should be waiting for him outside of University but she was gone from there.Tensed contoured his face not long after. Seeking for her location one more time, Lucien reconfirmed that she had gone missing. His biggest fear had finally come true.Ikaya stood away from them with a tight frown. She hated to see that Lucien was all worried for that human girl. Her jaw clenched but she had nothing to do rather than tolerating.Vincent looked up at his lord worryingly. His expression was stormy as if he was so ready to kill someone. Taking a deep breath to stable
