Chapter 4
Alpha Kai POV
I pace restlessly in the room while the physician attends to her. She passed out yesterday while I was consummating our marriage, and I don't think I understand what is going on now. Is she weak? Does she not have strength? I don't want to conclude yet, so I have the only option of waiting for him to get done with her.
"She's out of danger now. She will be fine," The physician says once he turns to face me, and I glance at her. She is still sleeping, or should I say still unconscious?
"What happened to her? Why did she pass out?" I ask him anxiously, and he sighs.
"Can I see you for a moment, Alpha?" He asks after he glances at her, making me more confused.
"Sure," And with that, we both stride out of the room, and I close the door behind us.
"There's a problem, Alpha," He utters once we are outside my room, and I turn to look at him confusingly.
"Your mate... I don't think she has a wolf. She is wolfless," He utters, and I feel a loud bang in my head.
"What did you say?" I ask to be sure of what I just heard, and he repeats it.
"She is wolfless," He utters again, and I feel my heart freeze in my chest for seconds as I stare into space. This is not happening, please.
"Are you kidding me?" I ask him, even though I know he must be saying what he saw, but then, I can't bring myself to believe him. This has to be a lie.
"No, I'm not, Alpha," He replies to me again, and I slowly clench my fists as I feel a sting in my heart. After living for thirty-three years without a mate, how was I blessed with a wolfless weak human as a mate?
"Is she a human?" I ask him because it doesn't make any sense to me. I have always heard about werewolves that were born without a wolf, and I never imagined myself being with one, but now I don't even know what's happening.
"No, Alpha. She's not," He replies to me, and I take a deep breath to calm myself down. I feel my wolf crawling in my body, burning in rage at the news, because even he doesn't like the sound of that, but I try to control him. I need to find out the truth first. I need to ask her.
"Alright. You can go," I say to him, and he bows before he turns and walks away. I take a deep breath before I push the door open, and walk inside.
Sitting on the edge of the bed and waiting for her to wake up, it dawn on me that she told me weeks ago that she was an omega, but even so, some omegas are potent, just like every other werewolf. I thought she would be a part of the potent ones, but it seems to me now that I was mistaken.
"Ah!" I snap my head back to see her holding her neck as she winces in pain, and I take a deep breath, trying to force myself to calm down, even though I'm not.
I stare at her until she opens her eyes, and as our eyes meet, she jerks up and draws back on the bed with fear written all over her. The emotions I felt toward her all this while have suddenly disappeared, and all that fills my heart now is emptiness. The mate bond has suddenly disappeared, the love and attraction are no longer there, but anger, betrayal, and pain. Betrayed that the moon goddess gave me this thing after all the years of loneliness.
"Wh...why are you sta...ring at me like tha..t?" She stutters as she stares at me with her forehead covered in sweats, and I gulp down nothing.
"Can you explain what happened yesterday?" I ask as I stand up from the bed and stare down at her while crossing my hands on my chest. The sight of her disgusts me so much that I want to strangle her at the instant. I wouldn't have ever brought myself to mate her if I knew she was wolfless. I would've rejected her instantly if I had known she was just a mere wolfless she-wolf that is barely different from a human. I wouldn't have ever mated a human, even if it meant that I would spend the rest of my life without a mate in my life.
"I...I...I..."
"Don't get me angry and talk to me this minute!" I scream at the top of my voice, and she flinches. I don't really care about how she feels anymore because the mate bond doesn't seem to be there anymore.
"I don't know..." Tears well up in her eyes as she presses her back hard against the wall like she wants to disappear into it. Wouldn't it be nice if she can just disappear? I wish I never met her, but my horrible fate led us together, and now I have to suffer it.
"Why didn't you tell me you don't have a wolf?" I ask her, and the look on her face tells me that she knew all along but decided to hide it from me.
"Why have you pretending all these while?" I thunder at her, and tears trickle down her cheeks as she gulps down whatever is in her throat.
"I...I..."
"What do you want to say? You are sorry about that? You didn't mean to do that, is that what you want to say?" I yell at her, and she flinches again. I feel my heart thumping heavily against my chest, my blood is boiling in rage, and my fingers itch to devour her and make her pay for deceiving me, but there's no way I would do that. Death is the least of the punishment I should give her for this betrayal.
"Come here..." I command her after I take a deep breath, and she raises her eyebrows.
"You won't like what will happen if I repeat myself," I threaten her, and she struggles to stand up from the bed. Her vagina must be sour from yesterday night, but I care less. I watch as she drags her wobbling feet toward me, her body shivers like she's catching a cold, but I know that it's fear.
"Why did you lie to me?" I thunder at her, and she flinches.
"I...I...I..." Her voice trails off as I grab her roughly and push her to the floor. I so much want to hold her neck and allow my wolf to deal with her by slitting her throat, but on second thought, I feel she shouldn't die now.
"You will pay for this, and that is a promise," I say to her before I turn and storm out of the room, slamming the door hard behind me...
Chapter 5Alexa's POVI flinched when the Alpha left angrily and slammed the door behind him. The scenes from the previous night came rushing to my mind as tears fell uncontrollably from my eyes. I felt used and rejected. The spot between my legs felt sore, and my limbs shake uncontrollably, but I managed to stand up and walk to the bathroom.I noticed the bathroom was colossal, ensuite with a walk-in closet, white, and gray theme perfectly suitable for an Alpha. My eyes darted to the giant mirror on the right side of the wall, my reflection stared back at me. I look horrible, my hair is disheveled, my cheeks and eyes are swollen due to crying, and my eyes look almost lifeless. I cried harder, tears streaming down my face like a river as I tried to comprehend the situation I was in.I lied to an Alpha who I was mated to about my wolfless state, and now he's furious. How did I even come to marry him?, Why am I mated to him? From what I can tell, he's too dominant, forceful, and harsh.
Meeting the Alpha's brotherChapter 6Alexa's POVI continued to stare at him in a daze. How can a man look so handsome yet cute at the same time? The breeze blowing gently ruffled his hair a bit, making some strands fall on his face, I felt my fingers twitch as I wondered how it would feel to brush his hair off his face. I could see his mouth moving, but I barely heard what he was saying.“Beautiful day, isn't it? But being here makes it more beautiful. I can see you like the garden, I like it too, it's the most beautiful and peaceful place to be here” he mutters as he looks at the garden fondly.“Yes, it is,” I barely heard what he said, all I heard was 'beautiful and garden'.“I'm sorry,” he says.The apology jolts my mind from the daze I'm in. Did he notice the way I've been staring at him? I hope I didn't drool, that will be so embarrassing. I felt the side of my lips with my fingers, satisfied at the outcome, I cleared my throat quietly hoping that my voice appeared normal.“Sor
Chapter 7 Alpha Kai's POV I swerved the chair I was sitting on around when I heard the door open. My eyes glared daggers at my supposed mate who was standing in front of me. When I saw her, I thought she was beautiful and the best thing that will ever happen to me. I was so happy at the mating ceremony, and I and my wolf were happy to finally be able to mate with her. Staring at her, I feel nothing but hatred. The mere sight of her irritates and irks me. I can't believe the mate I've waited for all my life turned out to be her. I don't know if I did anything to offend the moon goddess. Alphas of other packs got strong, bold, and intelligent women as their Luna who could help them lead their packs to achieve greater heights, but on the other hand, I got an Omega. An Omega I will gladly love and accept as long as she is my mate. Not only did I get an Omega, but I also got one who didn't even have a wolf. The moon goddess must be incredibly stupid, out of her mind, or fucking crazy
What is going on? Chapter 7 Ace's POV When I found out that my brother had finally found his better half, his mate whom he had always longed for, I was elated, and extremely overjoyed. My happiness knew no bounds. As the Alpha's close subject, I knew how much he wanted a mate that would rule along with him, a mate who will take care of his kingdom with him and make it prosper. That is what a confidant and a loyal subject would think, but as the Alpha's brother, I knew better. Kai didn't just want any mate. To some werewolves, mates were just people they had to live the rest of their lives with because the moon goddess said so. They had to live with their mate because it was what the moon goddess wanted and their fate since birth. Even if they didn't want or like their mate, they just had to compromise. Most people think when two mated people meet, they instantly feel the connection, the love, and the mate bond, but some mates are not like that. They just have to bear with living wi
Light in darkness Chapter 8 Alexa's POV I still wonder how my trembling legs managed to support and carry me out of the Alpha's chambers. If Ace had not come in, I wonder if I would still be able to leave the Alpha's chamber in one piece or unscathed. He looked extremely frightening. How did he change so much? The same eyes that had looked at me with adoration, passion, and want now looked at me like I was the most disgusting being ever. His eyes were ablaze with fury, his voice filled with resentment, disappointment, and anger. His words cut deep into my soul like I am being stabbed again and again with a dagger. I had always heard how brutal, cold, and feared he was as an Alpha and I just witnessed it, he is the perfect description of a handsome face and a stone-cold heart. I walked with no sense of direction as I used my hands to scale the wall for support. He does not recognize me as his mate. He does not want me as his mate. But then, it's not my fault that I don't have a wol
Chapter 10Alexa's POVWhat the hell was I thinking? I had just wanted him to stop calling me sister-in-law all the time, since in the true sense I am not his sister-in-law, his brother didn't acknowledge or want me, so what is the use? I didn't mean to cut him off and sound so..... rude? arrogant?, ungrateful? He looked at me with a surprised look on his face. “I'm sorry, I thought since you are married to my elder brother, I should address you with respect, hence me always calling you sister-in-law,” he explains meekly.“You don't have to always call me sister-in-law to show respect, call me by my name, after all, you are older than me,” I mutter.“You are right, I didn't know it made you uncomfortable, my apologies. But are you sure this has nothing to do with the fight you had with my brother?” he asks, staring at me intently.Just the mention of the Alpha made me scared and brought back the anguish and fear I felt before. I swallowed nothing in particular as I tried to calm myse
Chapter 11Alpha Kai's POVAfter Ace left, the guard allowed the important members of the pack in. I appointed three of them to deal with some matters regarding the pack and outside the pack, since Ace already has so much work to do and I as the Alpha, can't possibly handle everything on my own.“Alpha,” they all greet and bow in respect.I respond to their greeting and lead them toward another room where my office is. I sat behind my huge mahogany desk as they all sat in front of me. “What do you have for me?” I command in my authoritative voice.“Some men we've identified as part of the green land pack attacked the southern territory and ransacked the warehouses there. Our guards tried to stop them, but members of the green land pack were more in numbers, and they came completely prepared, we lost all the goods and supplies there and a total of ten guards were lost, the rest injured,” one of the men explained.“What!,” I shouted feeling livid as my fist met with the desk causing a l
Chapter 12Ace's POV“W…what?” I asked stunned.“Exactly what you heard,” he replies, sipping his whiskey, which he had just served himself.“What do you mean by she does not have a wolf? Is she human?” I ask because that is the only reasonable explanation right now.“She's not human, she's a werewolf who's wolfless,” he says.I took a seat in front of him, trying to absorb the information I just heard. “Is that even possible? How can there be a werewolf who doesn't have a wolf, I mean a wolf is what makes a person a werewolf, right?” I asked baffled.“Well, you just met someone who doesn't have a wolf, your innocent sister-in-law Lexa, so it's very possible,” he mutters sarcastically.“Is that why you've refused to accept her, and you are treating her badly?” I ask.“Should there be a bigger reason than this? She lied to me, she knew about her state all this while, yet she deceived me into performing the mating ceremony, should I be buying her flowers every day and worshiping her aft
