|| SILVIA STUART's POV ||
All of it made sense to me. I knew those burning brown eyes. My father taught me how to differentiate among werewolves. The man's aura was already giving the vibe of the head of the pack.
I stuttered, fear crippling into my heart,
" What.. what did he..do? My father.. won't kill anyone innocent."
It was the belief that held my heart. My father used to tell us that they were the beasts who harmed people. He was saving the humans by killing those werewolves. The Alpha spat, rage flashing in his eyes,
" HE KILLED MY MATE AND MY UNBORN CHILD."
The news stunned me. My father was a never cruel man and trusting a werewolf never crossed my mind. I shook my head, refusing to believe,
"I'm.. Impossible.."
The Alpha outstretched his hand to me, his cold fingers came in contact with my jaw as he forced me with a snarl,
" SEE IT BY YOURSELF!"
As confused as I was, I was suddenly attracted like a magnet in his eyes. Visions started to play in his eyes and I was lost in it. My heart thumped wildly when I saw my father in his vision, carrying a strange gun which I had never seen before. My father was arguing with a woman in the vision. From her big bump, it was obvious that she was pregnant. Their argument heated up and I noticed my father, reaching for his gun secretly. I let out a cry before the vision ended,
" DAD!! NO!!!!"
He aimed the gun at the pregnant girl and shot a few times at her belly. A horrified scream passed my lips when I saw that pathetic scene. The vision ended and I fell to the ground, crying loudly.
How could my father do this to a pregnant girl?
The Alpha continued speaking in a voice of disgust, sneering down at me,
" Not only that! He has planned with the witch and put a curse on me. I can never find a mate again."
He grabbed my head suddenly, asking with an animalistic growl,
" TELL ME! HOW DO PLAN TO REPAY ME?"
I was wordless. Nothing could repay him. The cruelty that my father showed here was beyond any humanity. I cried harder then lifted my eyes before whispering to the Alpha,
" Kill me! A life for a life!"
His man's voice joined, their murderous eyes watching me with disgust,
" Kill her, Alpha. She doesn't deserve to live."
The Alpha was oddly silent, his hooded eyes staring down at me with intensity. I had already submitted myself to my fate. They wouldn't let me go after what happened to his mate.
The Alpha let out a cruel laugh, sneering at my words,
" Kill you? DO YOU BELIEVE THAT IT'S ENOUGH TO PAY FOR THE PAIN THAT I AM GOING THROUGH?NO, LITTLE KITTY. THAT'S NOT ENOUGH FOR ME. I WANT TO SEE YOU SUFFER JUST THE WAY MY MATE SUFFERED BEFORE DYING. I WANT TO SEE YOU GOING THROUGH THE SAME PAIN. SOMETHING WORSE THAN DEATH..."
I fell into confusion as his words echoed in the room. Even his men looked at him suspiciously. I replied murmuring,
" I..I don't understand..."
He spat with a sinister smile, eyeing me from head to toe,
" You will die by giving birth to my child."
My eyes went wide in shock, his men gasped as well, staring at their Alpha. I refused at once, clutching my clothes,
" NE.. NEVER..I am not afraid of death but..I am not going to give up my dignity for you."
He snorted with a mocking laugh,
" Please! Did you think that I was going to touch my enemy's daughter? BULLSHIT!"
He continued, leaning onto my face,
" You are going to be my surrogate, Silvia Stuart. Since I can't have a mate, it is the only way to run down my legacy. Humans can't give birth to werewolves. It is very obvious that you will be dead as soon as my child comes into this world."
His proposal made me realize that death was a better option than this. He was so into his vengeance that he didn't care about the future of that child. I rebuked sharply with disgust,
" My father was right! YOU ALL ARE BEASTS! WORST THAN BEAST. I WOULD RATHER DIE THAN BE YOUR SURROGATE! "
Maxim was involved in my life. I could never betray his feelings for me. Watching me carrying a child of another man would kill him. Another man entered the room, holding a tab in his hand as he reported to his Alpha in a professional voice,
" Alpha! A guy is looking for her. He went to the shop."
Realization dawned on me. It was Maxim who went to the shop after I didn't receive his calls. Remembering my phone, I looked for it anywhere but it was not even my sight.
The Alpha saw the tab screen, an evil curving on his lips. He asked twisting his tongue in a sarcastic voice,
" Is that...the boy that you are dating?"
I refused to answer and repeated my words, tears rolling down from my eyes,
" JUST KILL ME! I am not going to be your fucking surrogate."
He looked up at his ma, ordered in a playful voice,
" Why don't you bring him here, Nico? I am pretty sure that Silvia would love a company and our boys..they haven't tasted fresh meat for a long time."
I cried out in fear, writhing against the chains,
" NO!!! PLEASE!! LET HIM GO!! HE IS INNOCENT!"
The Alpha looked behind me amusingly, grinning as he spoke to the guy Nico,
" See! She knows him. The deal is going to be easier for us. Either she agrees to pay for his father's sin or she loses her lover."
I squeezed my eyes shut to shed some silent tears. Why did you come to look for me, Maxim? WHY?
Maxim was the only one that I had in my life. My life was worthless anyway. I couldn't be the reason for his death. Clenching my fists together, I blurted, stopping the guy Nico from going out,
" I AGREE!! I AGREE TO BE THE SURROGATE BUT DON'T HURT MAXIM."
" You are hurt! Why aren't you healing yet?" Oksana remarked as she looked down at my fresh wounds. I had noticed as well that my wounds weren't getting any better. But the wounds in my heart were much bigger than this. Words of that old woman still haunted my heart.Was I not the legitimate king?I was grateful that Oksana still paid attention to me. The rest of the pack was busy taking care of the members who had been hurt. Vittoria replied, looking between me and Oksana," He..he is hurt by any person with magic. Magical wounds don't heal so fast, Luna."Oksana's face crumpled in concern. She muttered, appearing uneasy," All...all of them??"I hummed, touching the bandage in my hand," Yes! We couldn't stop the impact. Just one spell shook us all."Oksana looked worried, her eyes melting in fear. Vittoria suggested, gaining Oksana's attention," We should..check others as well, Luna. Some of the werewolves didn't have any family."Oksana nodded in return and left me alone in the
walked straight to the border of the south. The attackers were supposed to be here. If it was one of our allies, we could join together. But if it was our enemy, we had to go through a second battle.My steps froze before reaching the border. I spotted the black familiar clothed people, that strong familiar scent. I didn't need to check who they were. My expression turned stormy as I walked to them furiously, meeting my people in the front." Boss!!"Remo stuttered, appearing uneasy. He looked like he wanted to say something but I cut him off with a growl," YOU ARE HERE!! BY WHOSE ORDER? MY FATHER?? YOU ARE STANDING IN MY WAY, REMO AND I WON'T CONSIDER ANY MERCY."Remo apologized, his face sinking," Pardon me, Boss, but..we are indebted to the king. It's his order to attack the Dark Moon Pack."I growled, stomped forward," I TOLD HIM!! All I wanted was to win Alpha Kendrick's trust. Since he is stubborn about his decision, I will need to fight you here. I CAN'T BE DEFEATED HERE! "
" We are here, Alpha. What's the way that you want to use to break into their land? I suggested the best part! "Although the plan was ready, Alpha Kendrick had the final say. He snatched the map from my hand and replied coldly," The north and south border is open. Why should we take the West? They have guards over there."I reasoned, remembering the background of the dark moon pack, " They have magic on their side, Alpha. I don't think that we should go through the West. What if it's a trap? That's why I suggested the West."Alpha Kendrick growled at me, his behavior with me getting colder these days," Nonsense! To cast magic, someone should be present there. If there is no one at the border, who would cast a spell on us? We are heading through the north and that's the final."I wanted to say something more but I saw him, already moving with the troops. I understood the fact that Alpha Kendrick was doubting my judgment. I stopped explaining myself and followed him closely. All I w
Trust?? Once it was gone, it could never be back.I told myself several times that everything was going to be alright. But after everything was falling apart in front of my eyes, I realized how wrong I was. Oksana kept her distance from me. After days, she didn't meet me. Even though the final preparation for our attack on the Dark Moon Pack was here, she didn't come to wish me. We were all in the yards, waiting for Alpha Kendrick to come out and join us for the mission. It was surprising that my father didn't push me anymore. I thought that he would be insisting on winning the Dark Moon Pack. At least, he didn't tell me yet and I expected nothing from him." Beta! We are all ready!", the young warrior, Ethan told me after checking on his group. They were too young to join the mission but to be honest, they were the strongest group that I had ever trained. Ethan's group was loyal to me more than their Alphas. I had trained them like my own babies and taught them everything. I believe
" What are you.. Dimitri..." Oksana pushed me away, standing up in a shot without putting her clothes back. I still didn't realize my mistake until the long canines poked my lips. I snapped it off before standing up as well. My lycan was getting out of control. I didn't fully transfer myself to Lycan form for a long while. My lycan side was thrashing to come outside. We were especially obsessed with our mates. Hence it wanted to claim Oksana badly.Oksana stood with a panicked expression. The distrust in her eyes was killing me. I cursed myself under my breath. I should have paid more attention to myself. Oksana spoke again, putting back her clothes," I want to know!!"I muttered, staring at her numbly," What??"She blurted through her gritted teeth, frustration flaring in her eyes," The truth!! You aren't a WEREWOLF. How did you get here? Why didn't anyone stop you? Above all, how did you shift yourself into an average wolf? I WANT THIS ANSWER, DIMITRI."A sharp feeling stabbed i
I wanted to know what Kendrick was going to do with Vittoria's arrival. Dimitri had already explained everything. After Vittoria showed up in front of Kendrick, he didn't look good. Kendrick was seated in his seat as we arrived together. Kendrick asked curiously, eyeing Vittoria from head to toe," Is it true that you can see the future? If you are that powerful, why did your pack kick you out?"Vittoria's shoulders stiffened when Kendrick mentioned her pack. I guessed that she wasn't comfortable sharing her relationship with the pack. One of the main reasons was that she didn't trust us yet or it was her dark spot. Vittoria replied firmly, her eyes dropping down,"I decided to leave the pack, Alpha. I was assaulted by the Alpha. I had to leave to save my life."I felt sorry for her. Raemon was already clinging to her. They said that children were another form of god. They could tell who loved them genuinely. I felt as though Raemon had already started to like Vittoria. We never had
