The morning sunset flickered through my room, I sat up slowly, it has been a hectic week for me, all I needed now was to take a rest.The rejection kept on ringing in my head like a course. Over and over again.Lost in thought I felt a movement on my bed, then it occurred to me that I'm now married. Married to someone else's Mate not my Mate that I have always yearned for.I turned to catch a grip of his face, he was still asleep. I have never loved him not even for once but still I agreed to get married to him just for the Pack.I could feel my wolf, Kira, burning beneath my skin. She had been quiet since we heard about the rejection—hurt, but now she's growling furiously."Does he really have to say he's going to reject us?" Kira yelled. "After everything we've been through?"I clinched my fingers on the bedsheets. The pain was inexpressible. "He was gone for two years,I waited for him patiently, hoping that he would come back for us.”Tears welled up in my eyes, but I wiped them aw
CHAPTER TWENTY NINE WILLIAM'S POV The blood of the rogues, soaked into my robe. My bones ached, my Wolf Kein moved uncomfortably. We have won. Or at least, I won, if that means anything. Now the Pack was crowded. The rogue's attack was unexpected and brutal. But it passed like a whirlwind, and my anger gave me strength I didn’t expect. Maybe it’s the pain. Perhaps it was the fact that I saw Alaana dressed in white, making vow to someone else. As I entered the guest quarter, I was hailed by the guards. I barely shook my head. "Alpha William," one of them said. "The council wants a report." "That will be later," I mumbled. "I need to clean up." I entered the room that was given to me and Lisa to spend the night. "William!" Lisa called out I turned back towards her direction. She came up to me like a storm, anger written all over her face, her eyes full of betrayal. "So it was her!" She shouted, stopping inches from me. Her voice echoed. I opened my eyes wide. "What are
ALAANA'S POV Immediately I heard that the Pack was being attacked by rogues. I stood frozen, unable to move,my heart was beating fast,then it occurred to me that my father might be in danger.I ran outside immediately.Rylan was already standing by the window, looking out. "They've crossed the eastern border," he whispered hoarsely. "We have to find my father." I said "No!," he said quickly. "First we have to help the people, I'm very sure the guards are protecting the Alpha."We went outside together, our feet pounding the marble floor of Pack's house. Before we even entered the Alpha quarter, the smell of blood filled the air. We could hear the sounds of rogues screaming. Bodies lay motionless on the floor.Then I sighted a mighty white Wolf, fighting the rogues. His movements were terrifyingly graceful. He mercilessly brought down the rogues, sending their lifeless bodies tumbling across the floor."Who could that be...?" Rylan whispered beside me, his eyes wide.The Wolf was o
RYLAN'S POVI had fought several wars and saw people who died and who got injured severely. But never have I seen someone who died in front of me and resurrected. I couldn't believe my eyes.William.It took me several minutes to recognize him, even though the man who I was looking at right now;looked nothing like the Omega I had last seen, bleeding in the mud.His hair was now clean and shiny, free of sweat and dirt. His once hollow cheeks were now stiff and jagged. His shoulders were broader, his neck straighter, and he wore a black suit that emphasized the aura of a ruler. Next to him stood a beautiful young woman who held his hand.But that was William. It was William, William's eyes that were once filled with pain and defiance, were now deathly calm.He should have been dead.No one returned from this battlefield alive.So William didn't die?. He came back to life.Now he’s back…dressed like a King.I was becoming uncomfortable, as I began to sweat profusely, adjusting my tie.
WILLIAM'S POVThe silence of my room was the only thing that truly understood me.My room was a haven for me, despite the noise of the wind rattling against the tall windows and the noise of the Pack members practicing in the courtyard. I was no longer the Omega servant I once was. Now, I was now the face of Darkmoon Pack, at least in public. I have been a lonely person whose heart bled every day for his Mate.I stood by the window, looking at the sky, my hands wrapped around each other, as I watched the sky. I felt different today. I could feel a heaviness in the air that I couldn’t let go of, as if the forest was holding its breath. My Wolf had been restless. A sure sign that something was about to happen. I didn't know what it was.Then I heard a knock at my door."Come in!" I called out, already pulling away from the window.The door opened, and Alpha Austin walked in, as imposing as ever, but today his demeanor was a little unsettled. His blonde hair, still pulled back neatly, s
ALAANA'S POV Two Years Later I stood at the front of the mirror in my room. My face pale beneath layers of makeup. The Pack was filled with excitement, but my heart remained empty. Today is my wedding day. A day that was meant to be celebrated, laughter and love. But none of that I felt. I stared at my reflection in the mirror,my lips, my makeup were looking perfect but I couldn’t hide my sad eyes from the makeup. I looked like a bride, dressed in the best silk dress my father could afford, but inside me, I felt like a ghost in a mask. It's been two years since I've been crying myself to sleep, his voice ringing in my ear and the warmth of my hug against his skin.I could still feel the Mate bond, deep down I know he is still alive somewhere. My father entered the living room where I was standing, and suddenly closed the door. The veil of my wedding gown fell behind me. My heart was full of fear instead of joy. The room was silent, except for the sound of music that echoed thr
