"Why are you hiding from me? you can hide all you want, however, it won't stop you from being mine," his voice echoed throughout the entire hall, making my heart almost fall out of its cage. Regardless, I stubbornly remained in my squatting position. But like they say, you can't change your destiny, you can't change what's meant to be, because before I could fathom what was going on, he was standing right before me.
もっと見るLIGHT'S POV
My name is Light, Light Greyjoy, daughter of Liara and Aaron Greyjoy. Although most people say you act as you're named, some say your name determines what you are.
However, I was different or maybe they were hypocrites, as in my case, I was the complete opposite of my name, I was darkness, I was terror and I was destruction.
I didn't bring joy and happiness like my parent and everyone else expected, rather I was the terror that hunted their night. I was their darkness, I was their pain, their fear, and their tears. I light greyjoy, was the greatest villain of my time.
Sometimes I wonder why my parents named me Light, I guess they didn't see what was to come or they would have named me Terror or Darkness instead.
My reign as a queen was full of bloodshed, sorrow, and agony, until that faithful day, my life was brought to an end by a powerful king.
Now as I stand in the afterlife, my life replays before my eyes and each time it shows the scenery of him beheading me, my teeth and fist clenched in anger, my blood boils with fury and my heart screams for revenge.
"Light greyjoy, you've been given a second chance to live." The god of life announced, bringing me back to the present.
"A second chance?" I repeated, staring at him in complete shock. I thought only those whose deeds were good in their past life_ they were the only ones given a second chance, why am I also getting a second chance? Are the gods not tired of the cries of the innocent? Or have they gone completely crazy?
Why would they allow a villain like me to live? Or perhaps they knew that no story was complete without a villain.
However, it was foolish of me to think of the gods as crazy, they knew what they were doing when they gave me a second chance and not just that, it was at a price.
...
I was dressed in a black dress as I made my way to the ceremony. Today the Alpha king was going to pick a set of human concubines, not sure why he needed them, probably because he was yet to find a mate or because he wanted to strengthen the relationship between werewolves and humans, but sadly I was going to be among them.
"Come on honey, you should put on a smile. It would be an honor if you're chosen by Alpha Alister," Mom muttered, wearing a bright smile on her face.
Honor she says_ to some it might be an honor, but to me, it was as though I was selling my freedom and my virtue.
This was my second life, and I had no memory of my past life. It was like I was reborn, with my fierceness and ego, however, there was no desire to kill or hurt others like before...
As I made my way into the beautiful big mansion, a deep scowl was plastered on my face. A scowl that I hope would tell the alpha king to back off, I was not made to be a concubine, that to of a werewolf.
However, from what I've heard, he was very powerful, ruthless, and fearless, he was not just any werewolf but a Lycan, meaning a mere human like me wouldn't be able to scare him. So I quickly hid amongst the crowd, where I was safe from his ravishing eyes or so I thought.
"Let the ceremony begin," a man who seem to be in his early thirties announced, making the girls cheer in excitement.
I didn't get why they were happy, shouldn't they wail, or at least feel a little bothered about their predicament? After all, they were only going to be concubines, and nothing more. I was still lost in thoughts when the hall went into a state of uproar. "It's the Alpha King," they chorused, ogling and fangirling at him.
If I was unaware, I would have thought, it was some kind of music concert and the girls were cheering for their favorite idol who was about to perform. And from what I've heard, the Alpha king was extremely handsome. My mom would often speak of how breathtaking he was and would always try to show me pictures of him but for some reason, I wasn't interested in seeing what he looked like.
However, standing amongst the crowd, there was this sense of curiosity luring me. I wanted to know if what they said was true, or if they were just exaggerating. With that in mind, I tilted my head a little, at the same time raising my legs a bit to get a clear view of him.
An involuntary gasp escaped my lips when I caught sight of him because I was shocked to see that their words did no justice to his looks. he was not just breathtaking, he looked completely out of this world. He was the epitome of gorgeousness and he had low-cut hair, a chiseled jaw, pink heart-shaped lips, and most of all abnormal eyes, which unknown to me was staring back at me until he pointed at me and spoke in a deep enchanting voice.
"You, I choose you."
No, it can't be. I wasn't ready to accept that I was chosen, so I immediately squatted, praying and hoping that I was imagining things.
'Take a deep breath, deep breath Light, he didn't choose you, it's someone else. Maybe someone behind you, or in front of you,' I told myself repeatedly, trying to calm my racing heart. Nonetheless, even my heart refused to believe it.
"Why are you hiding from me? you can hide all you want, however, it won't stop you from being mine," his voice echoed throughout the entire hall, making my heart almost fall out of its cage. Regardless, I stubbornly remained in my squatting position. But like they say, you can't change your destiny, you can't change what's meant to be, because before I could fathom what was going on, he was standing right before me.
"You will be my fifth concubine," his voice was firm and commanding, while his gaze bore through mine.
ALISTER'S POVMy eyes gleamed in excitement when Light loosened her hair, letting it fall freely down her shoulders. She looked like a beautiful goddess, wearing a knee-length black night dress with her hair down like that. And the way her slender fingers combed her hair with her eyes closed while bobbing her head was another sight to behold. Does she know what she's doing right now? Is she trying to seduce me?The thought got me excited, and I leaned my back further into the chair, biting my lips as I watched her take slow strides toward me."Yes, I know how to please you," she repeated, but this time in a low tone.Wow, who knew this spooky concubine of mine could seduce me even without trying hard? I was already thinking about all the things I could do to her. Dirty things.I watched her as she walked past me to the bed, climbing onto it, before gesturing at me to come.Excitement filled me instantly and I quickly obliged, going to sit beside her on the bed. I've neve
LIGHT'S POV"Light where have you been?" My eyes widened when Alister picked me up by my collar, his curious gaze roamed over my body and I stare blankly at him, not sure how to answer his question. Although he was asking where I was, his eyes were saying something else. It held both disbelief and question just like everyone else.I knew they were wondering how I survived after disappearing for two days. how did a human like me survive the dangerous forest?However, even I didn't have answers to those questions. I was just as mystified as them, with many questions running through my mind as I thought back to the scene back in the forest.Those wide wolves didn't hurt me, they just watched me walk by like some force was compelling them. And as for how I found my way back to the pack house, that was another mystery. I just found myself back at the house after walking for many hours. It was as though I already knew the routes, and finding my way wasn't hard even though, that
ALISTER'S POVIt's been two days and the tournament was almost over, however, there was still no sign of that light, after she ran out of the arena. Could something have happened to her? I stared at the particular spot in the arena, the spot where she was last seen, and no matter, how much I told myself, that I didn't care if she lived or died, there was still this feeling of restlessness that plagued me. And I knew it wasn't because of the bet I made with alpha Greg,No! It was much more than that. It was a kind of feeling that frightened me, a feeling considered a weakness and detrimental to someone like me.Could it be that Light cast some kind of spell on me?If not, why were my thoughts constantly invaded by such a spooky little human like her when it's only been a few weeks since I met her?Huh! How ironic! I laughed out loud at the thought, completely ignorant of both the people around me and the ongoing tournament."Alpha, are you okay?" Raven's voice echoed inside my
ALISTER'S POVMy eyes were focused on just one, among the hundreds of people that were participating in the tournament. You could easily spot her amongst the crowd because she was the smallest, most Eeriest, and timid looking among them. One would even wonder why someone like her was participating in the tournament, and just like most, if not all the audience at the arena were sure that she would be the first one to die, after all, she was human.However, one of the things I've learned was never to underestimate anyone."I bet my hundred dollars that miss spooky wouldn't survive this," Raven spouted his nonsense just like always. Smack...Mahira's hand landed on his head "Shut up Raven, Light is going to survive this you'd see."Humph... Raven scoffed, rolling his eyes. "Denial is a bitch, I bet you one thousand dollars that she wouldn't make it out alive.""And I bet all your savings that she would come out alive," Mahira countered.Their noise was beginning to annoy not
LIGHT'S POV"It's just the two of us in this forest, anything can happen. Nasty things," he thug a strand of hair behind my ears, whispering seductively.I could feel my heart beating hard and fast against my chest, however, I didn't back off. Rather, there was this newfound courage as I stare right into his eyes, biting my lips seductively."You're right, it's just the two of us. Nasty things could happen but can you handle it," I retorted in a whisper, before curving my lips into a mischievous smirk.Alister chuckled, staring at me in both amazement and some other emotion that I couldn't fathom. "If you play with fire Light, you are bound to get burnt. Stop playing with fire," he retorted, turning on his heels."Come, it's not safe out here alone," he quickly added without turning back. "Wait," I yelled, making him halt his movement. "What is it?" He swerved in my direction, staring keenly at me as he spoke."I want to walk in front of you, I can't walk behind while you'r
Alister looked taken aback, before turning to me with a dangerous glare. "What is she talking about? Do you intend to participate in the tournament?"I could tell he was angry by the tone of his voice and I remained mum for a while before altering a "Yes."Although Alister's face was unreadable, his overbearing aura exploded. Every trace of playfulness had vanished like it was never there."You will not participate in the tournament," his voice was calm yet stern as he spoke, leaving no room for argument, however, something in me could not accept that."Why?" My voice was loud as I spoke. "Is it because you all think humans are weak? Well then, that's the reason I have to participate in the tournament, to prove you wrong."I was angry because not just this Lucia girl, but Alister also underestimated me. I hated it when they did that.Slowly, Alister turned to face me again, still wearing the same expressionless look. "And do you know how dangerous the tournament is? You could lose y
