Alpha Kai's POV
“Mate.”I whispered, in a hushed tone, walking towards where she squat.
With droplets of cold rain splashing vividly on her body, she trembled on her spot, shivering from the weather.
“P-please don’t hurt me…please.”
she begged immediately, her eyes bolting from us. It made me realize she was afraid of us. Of something.It made me want to hug her. Tell her not to be afraid, that I wasn't going to hurt her anytime soon.
“Look at me.”
I ordered her.
I could smell her by now.
It was something delicious and my beast was loving it.
He was threatening to surface, wild with uncontrollable passion for this beautiful creature in front of us.“I said look at me!”
Still in a scare, she removed her hands slowly peeking to see a part of my face. My mate narrowed her eyes at the sight of me.
She had a red frizzy hair and a petite frame. Something told me she could be bigger, that she wasn't in the best of places right now...
I hoped she liked what she saw.
I had a dirty blond hair, and a cruel looking face. High, harsh cheekbones locked in a frown at all times. With these features, will she fall for me?
“Get up.” I ordered.
More droplets of rain swooshed in, with the arrow of fire totally disappearing. She sighed in relief, getting up with her eyes locked in curiosity at me.
“Who are you?” My mate, asked softly.
“Alpha of Valmore pack— Kai Vincenzo."
~Hours earlier~
Katara'a POVI lived as a peasant in the pack house, so no one noticed me.
They knew I was the Alpha and Luna's daughter. However, after the announcement of my unavailable wolf, no one took it serious. Father and mother both made it that way. Went as far as presenting a maid’s son as the heir.
I went under that maid in return, working under her.
I was unwanted since the very day I was born. Because I wasn’t a male wolf. I couldn’t indulge in fights or takeover as the pack’s Alpha.
My dad seeked a male heir. Thus, hating my being as his daughter.
At 13 though, a greater curse occurred though. Instead of having a normal wolf, the Moon Goddess chose to curse me with a blood red wolf.
The myth of the blood red wolf is still a mystery. However, everyone believed wolves of that color brought misfortune to their mate and pack.
Their kind although went extinct, for centuries. My parents, even more disappointed made me hide my wolf from others.
“You stink, Katara. Ever thought to have a bath?”
Mother let out, stopping in her tracks after noticing me. I was heading to the kitchen, after cleaning the entire pack house, in my servant dress.
I knew she hated me. In fact, she tried to eliminate me out of shame as an infant.
“As you wish, my Luna.” With a bow, I replied. “I-I will go and have one now.”
I whispered with a stammer, bowing my head before walking from her presence.
“You better do.”
“And be sure to apply the oils so your natural scent wears off.” she added.
“Very well, my Luna!”
I exclaimed.
"Your tea, milord." I said to dad, serving him and his guests tea like I was told.
"Thanks, pretty one." one man snickered. He was a Beta from his smell.
His hands ran through my butts sexually."I like this one, how much is she for a night?"
I immediately growled at him, ripping his hands off. The impact made the saucers and cup break, falling to the floor."You dare to shame my guests in front of me?!" A kick hit my stomach, and I fell to the floor, gasping for breath.
It was from Alpha Alaric. The man I was supposed to call dad.
"Get out from here! Now! Get out of the pack house, girl! You've always been unwanted anyway!" he cussed under his breath.
I ran hurriedly, towards the lake with an intention to have a quick bath from his touches.
Tears stung my eye, as I wandered to the grass sitting on it. The wind blew past my hair. I brought out my flute. Seemed like this was one of the things that gave me solace.
Having to hide the abilities attached to the blood wolf, was no easy job.
My hands, were always in gloves to prevent me from burning anything at my touch.
“When creating me…”
“Was my suffering what you had in mind? Do I even have a mate, like normal wolves?” I asked the Moon Goddess, hoping she heard.
“Nope right?”
No response.
“Guess this misfortune is forever then.”
More tears spilled as I wiped them, burying my face in the grass sobbing a lot.
It hurt.
Being treated like an outcast, all your life.
It really hurt.
I removed the piece of raven hair is which was a disguise. And my dark eye makeup I used in dying my red lashes and brows. Bringing out my natural wild auburn curls. I slipped off my dress putting the hair under it.
I walked to the water entering it with my naked body, crying profusely.
The sooner I was out, I wore my clothes, running towards the forest.
“Why?!”
I howled, feeling hurt in my chest.
“I am an Alpha’s daughter! I bear a noble blood! Yet I’m cursed!”
Completely on my knees, I broke down saying.
“You made me unwanted. I have to leave wolfless all my life and get bullied because of it!”
I clenched my garment hard, this time.
“Why do you multiply my shame everyday? Why do you add to my parent’s hate for me?”
I looked up to the sky adding.
No reply.
Suddenly, I was welcomed with splatters of stainless rain swooshing through. It poured down my face, as I cried.
“Am I not enough to get a happy ending?”
“Am I not?!”
An arrow coated with fire suddenly came flying through. Luckily I dodged it, thus remaining unscathed.
I looked towards where it came from only to see several yellow eyes in the dark. A gigantic beast, growled at me. Emanating a strong aura which made him more prominent.
“Mate...”
🔥🔥🔥🔥 Alpha Kai's Pov “Cease fire!!” I echoed, in a thunderous and intimidating voice. Watching as my mate, ducked into a ball, from the effect with her hands covering her. I walked towards her protectively. “Mate.” I whispered, in a hushed tone, walking towards where she squat. With droplets of cold rain splashing vividly on her body, she trembled on her spot, shivering from the weather. “P-please don’t hurt me…please.” she begged immediately, her eyes bolting from us. It made me realize she was afraid of us. Of something. It made me want to hug her. Tell her not to be afraid, that I wasn't going to hurt her anytime soon. “Look at me.” I ordered her, wondering why she wouldn't gaze at me. I could smell her by now. It was something delicious and my beast was loving it. He was threatening to surface, wild with uncontrollable passion for this beautiful creature in front of us. “I said look at me!” Still in a scare, she removed her hands slowly peeking to see a part of
Katara's POV The journey to Alpha Kai’s pack was quite a tedious one. Long, tiring and draining. It made me wonder why he came all this way to attack Artic Wolves pack. Goddess knows what dad did to him, to get such a massive blow. “Sleepy?” a tone snickered, which made me arch my brow up. I was put in the carriage while numerous guards rode horses, with some walking on foot. They made it seem like I was some kind of prized possession. “A little yes…” I eyed Kai as I trailed that word out. Feeling a little self-conscious at his dark and intimidating gaze on me. I saw a part of his face twitch, covered in a frown. "Why did you abduct me?" I weakly asked him, not knowing what to do. "You'll understand soon, mate." “Here mate, lean on me.” he surprisingly came opposite to me, sitting just beside me. It was beginning to get cold and frosty every minute. My wolf stirred, but I pushed her right back in. I swallowed a gulp, doing what he said. Closing my eyes, and totally avoiding
Katara's POV I got different vibes, from our environment, and that made me peek from the carriage curtains. I could see lots of people chattering. It resembled a market square, with numerous villagers moving around, in an exchange. “Prepare yourself, my Luna.” one of the guards knocked the door, saying. “We would be hitting the main packhouse soon.” At his words, my heart commenced beating rapidly in fright of what I was going to meet. Alpha Kai didn’t show up anymore, after the third visiting. Something made me suspect it would be like this, often. I clenched the hems of my gown, tightening the loosened strap that instant. In a few minutes, the carriage halted. “It’s time,” I came down, from the carriage, with the help of a guard. Looking around at everything, it was a big pack house, indeed, almost resembling mysteries of a palace. “I will escort you to your chambers, my Luna.” “Okay, t-thanks.” I replied the guard nervously, at the fact that I would have a room, a privilege
Alpha Kai’s POVThere’s always been this looming darkness in me. Something indescribable and dangerous.This made me feared, my ability to be brutal and cruel to core.“Alpha, we’ve captured them all!”It was my Beta Abramo, informing me. We had left for another territory, to meet our other warriors who we sent out.“Very well!” I mouthed off, with a smile. Following my Beta to the sight of the tied slaves, and the new territory in our possession. It meant our land had just expanded, by claiming theirs.“Good job, everyone!”I announced, to the Valmore pack warriors, who hailed and jeered in support.“It’s our pleasure, Alpha Kai!!!”The warriors bowed down at me, submitting. I waved my hands at them, bringing it to the middle of my chest, just as it was done in our tribe."I curse your clan!" someone suddenly gasped, from the captured slaves. It was a woman, with a fuming expression of withheld anger."Your descendants would kill themselves, for what you did to us! Your Kingdom would
Katara's POVI was on the verge of taking a bath when Capria in the company of two maids came in, their hands laden with clothes, shoes and adornment fitting for a real Luna which I hadn't been considering myself.They held up beautiful sequined dresses and floral dresses and helped me pick which I should wear. They accompanied me to the bath and literally didn't let me use my own hands because they'd been assigned as my personal maids. "Milady, you should not worry about us. We've been assigned to take care of you. To see to all your domestic needs,"Capria continued to assure me as I thanked them profusely for their troubles while complaining, simultaneously of how aware I was of them seeing my naked body.They giggled and turned away only briefly though."Don't you think I should also be able to lift my own hands for my use? These hands have known a great deal of scrubbing–" I said holding my hands up as they wrapped the towel around my body.I was dripping wet, as I stepped out
Alpha Kai's POVI'd left the Dowager mother just in time to go see some newly captured territories with my Beta, Abramo."Do ensure that Katara seeks nothing while I'm away."I'd implored my Delta. "Take care of her. Prioritize her over your life, she's my mate. The only one, for me.”I said and he nodded. I rode off on my horse in the company of my Beta, Abramo and twenty other werewolves warriors. We'd inspected the lands and did all we needed to before heading back to the wolfhound. ...As we began to approach, I saw a thick cloud of smoke, making the skies hazy. I hurried on and on getting to the pack house, I saw my Delta in the company of other men running to and fro, their intention to distinguish the fire. I looked around, Katara was not in sight. "Where's Katara?!" I barked at my Delta but he stood staring dumbly at me.I ran past him in my wolf speed and reached my chambers, where she would be waiting. It happened that the fire had only started to ravage the house.I ra
Alpha Kai's POV I, Alpha Kai, stormed into the Dowager mother's chambers. The guard at the door bowed deeply but I didn't pay attention to the guard. I reached the door and flung it open on my own accord before the guard was done prostrating. "Mother!" I called as I stepped in. "Yes, dear?" The Dowager mother replied me in her usual collected manner. She always seemed unruffled in the face of even the worst dangers. She was a woman who exuded immense calmness even in the face of troubles. She always had everything in control. But as I looked at her, I thought perhaps, she'd not heard about the fire that had threatened the life of my mate not long ago. "Mother, have you heard that my Luna's life was threatened today? Mother, you don't know how careless My Delta can be, can you?" I asked. She smiled and beckoned on me to come sit next to her. "I've heard. My maid reported to me. She mentioned how you saved your mate's life. She also mentioned that you eliminated two men
General POV"Believe me, Katara, it was for your good. They would have left you to die some other time, had I spared them!"He growled. He was getting impatient with her and his eyes sparked. His wolf straining to get wild, with desire let out anger. Katara recoiled. He stood up and said,"I'll be on a mission with my men, to capture territories and expand our lands and gain more power. Abramo will see to your needs till I'm back."He seethed, with a frown, walking out. Katara sat there, wondering why preying on small territories and bringing them under a superior power always mattered to Alphas.To her father, to Kai. Their quest for power was definitely insatiable.Alpha Kai's POVSo she didn't trust me, even though I'd made it clear that I did what I did for her?What if perhaps, she sensed the looming darkness, in me and chose to stay away?What if she knew I possess the power to control time and create fire. Ah! Fire. The fire she is afraid of.She must not find out. I'll do a
