Anastasia's pov
I was shaken in tears and shame from what I had just gone through, but Dante was towering over me now as my teary eyes read through the contents of the contract, and I knew he had only come to my room for one purpose and It as to get the contract signedWe're th Lycan Triplets so repulsed by my body that they couldn't even bear to stand the sight of me anymore?I'm disbelief, I read the contract;Contract for Anastasia ElyonThis agreement is between Anastasia Elyon (Contractee) and the Lycan Triplets, Damien, Draven, and Darius Valerian (Contractors).The Contractee, • Agrees to be bound by the terms of this Contract for a period of one year, commencing upon the signing of this agreement.• Shall provide intimacy to the Contractors during the contract period. The Contractors shall have the right to request and engage in intimate activities with the Contractee at their discretion, with the understanding that consent and mutual respect shall always be upheld no matter what. • Shall be entitled to two consecutive days of rest per week, during which she may engage in personal activities of her choosing, subject to the Contractors' permission. • The Contractee shall undergo training. These classes will be conducted to enhance the Contractee's physical and mental abilities.• Shall partake in the Luna ceremony, signifying her acceptance as the mate of the Contractors, and shall honor and fulfill the ceremonial duties associated with this role.• Acknowledges and agrees that no romantic love or affection is expected or guaranteed within the context of this Contract. The relationship between the parties shall be primarily based on the fulfillment of contractual obligations. • The Contractors shall ensure the Contractee receives appropriate care, support, and medical attention during her pregnancy and after childbirth.• Shall not leave the confines of the Contractors' mansion without permission from the Contractors. This provision is in place to ensure the Contractee's safety and security.At the bottom of the contract, The Lycan Triplets had their signatures written down in place of a blank space where I was supposed to sign mine.With a bitter smile on my face, I combed through the part of the contract. Love wasn't part of the relationship. The coldness and indifference I has experienced all her life would never cease to persist would It?A wave of pain, heartbreak and betrayal washed over me and more twars ran down my cheeks as I picked the pen, my hands shaking.I couldn't help but question my worth? Was I really not capable of being loved? Right now, the scars on my back could barely hold a candle compared to the permanent wounds that had scarred my heart.Mate? What a joke. I was nothing more than a breeder to them."I get to be taken care at least," I smile at Dante a bit. His eyes were cold and unfeeling, at my words, his brows furrowed slightly, but he said nothing still even as I continued. "I'll eat good food, sleep on a nice bed..." I laugh, as I sign the contract before looking at him once again, noting the confusion on his face."Don't you get It? I'm free... It may no seem like much, but compared to how I was treated back at home, I'm actually going to be treated a lot better here. I've never been happier.""You do understand that... " He started and hesitated for a bit before he finished. "You might die?"My head raced with fear as I stilled, but I couldn't even fathom what I really felt at that moment. I was scared, but then again, I couldn't run away could I? I had already signed the contract and there was no way I was going back on my words now.I was just about to reply when I noticed his eyes turn blank, hint of red hue in his brown orbs. I figured he was communicating using the mind link. It was like that back at gome- guess It wasn't any different here.Suddenly, his eyes moved to me and I swear I could see a grave look in them before the red hue disappeared and he bent down to pick the contract.I thought he would live, but his next words sent shivers down my spine."Lycan Draven requests your presence in his chambers.""W- what?" Of all the brothers, why him? "Why?"Dante's expression suddenly turned cold and I bit my lip when I realized I was going to fat by being curious of something that may not be likely meant for him to explain to me.I reluctantly pulled my robe tighter against my chest as I followed Dante's huge towering figure till I got to a door.He knocked and then turned to me. "You can go in." No other words being said, he flashed me one more look as he turned away and left, leaving me standing there in a disarray of emotions.Knowing I shouldn't keep Lycan Draven waiting, I twisted the knob and let myself in.The room was as tastefully furnished as It should be for a King and It took me a few seconds to realize I was admiring the interior decor of the place before my eyes settled on the man sitting on the bed, intensely staring at me with that heated gaze of his that made my cheeks flush.Swallowing, my eyes instinctively lowered when I realized he had nothing but pants on. His broad chest was on display, the light of the room accentuating the contours of his well-toned physique. His dark skin glistened with a thin film of water, and from his hair dripping with water, I guessed he might have just left the shower.How could a man be so Ethereal even in physique. He looked too good to be true.Suddenly, he leaned forward, a dark hue in his eyes as they intensified their gaze on me."Come here, princess."His deep voice, the authoritative tone in his voice... They sent unfamiliar strange feelings travelling through my whole body, and like I was being compelled, I found myself taking small, fearful steps towards him."Wait. Strip first." With no emotion in his eyes, he ordered.I hesitated for a while, wondering what it was he planned to do now.A perfectly raised, silver streaked brow was raised as he regarded me with mock amusement. "This won't be your first undressing before me would it? And believe me, there's nothing I haven't seen in much better looking women so just hurry up." His gruff voice was commanding and harsh and I quickly began to undress.His words were hurtful but I couldn't say anything as I just stood before him, a burn to my cheeks when his eyes travelled across my body before he gave me a knowing look."Come here."I was suspicious, wondering what was it he wanted with me but regardless, I couldn't risk my life to anger him and just went forward only to be thrown off balance when he reached out and pulled me in with one jerk of his hand.I gasped, my face burning red when I realized I was sitting over his legs, my hands wrapped around his shoulders from having being pulled without wanting."I- I'm sorry Lycan Draven. I'm so clumsy, I...." Taking my hands off him, I tried to stand, but a force on my legs forced me to look down, noticing his arm was the cause of my restricted movements."Your father mentioned you're a virgin, correct?"I was taken aback by his words, but I managed a nod.I tried as best as I could not to meet his eyes, but those intense blue orbs proving mine held them captive and I couldn't look away. I felt a strange, unsettling feeling between my legs when his eyes slowly ran over my body again before they met mine again."So you haven't been touched by a man before? Right?"I nodded again."Answer my question with words, princess." He growled, a slight red hue appearing in his eyes before they disappeared. His smirk was cruel as he roughly gripped my chin and forced me to look into his eyes when I began lowering my head."Y- yes."I whispered, feeling my body grow hot from his simple touch. I could feel the body heat radiating from him as his naked chest pressed into mine from the side, conflicting strange feelings in my body.Suddenly, he lowered the hand and the moment his fingers brushed against my naked thighs, I sat up sharply, breathing in relief when I realized he was just placing his hands down.However, my moves didn't go unnoticed by him and he released a Short, dark chuckle that caused me to turn red in embarrassment."You will be drinking the wine from the bossom of the Moon goddess's domain on the day of your coronation as Luna. It will be in two days so the necessary preparations must be made tomorrow. The council of elders and everyone else expects us to have completed the mating rites before then.""What will happen If they are not completed before then?" I asked, my brows furrowing."You will die after drinking the wine." He replied with a straight face and mine paled."But...""You're definitely not ready to mate with any of us, considering how weak and frail you are" his words were spoken with spite and disappointment and I felt ashamed. "So we will have to ensure you don't drink the wine a virgin either way."Knowing the Lycan Triplets weren't insisting on mating with me should have calmed me down, but I couldn't. Not with that look in Draven's eyes. How else were they planning on taking my innocence If neither of them planned on mating with me."Calm down, princess. I will deflower you with my fingers instead. It will be painful, but trust me, It's better this way."And without warning, he flipped me down on the bed and my eyes widened when I raised my eyes to see the full 6'9" of Lycan Draven hovering me.Draven's POV I could hear the soft whimper leaving her lips the moment I parted her legs with my knee and held her down on the bed with the other at her side. I wanted to get this over with and have her leave. I was bothered at how cautious I was being because she looked so fragile any slightest movement and I could crush her. In contrast to my skin, hers was ghastly pale. However, her eyes, enchanting as It may were staring up at me in horror and utter fear. Her entire body language was screaming for comfort. "Look, I'm not going to hurt you. The earlier we do this the better," I growled, keeping her quiet so she just lay there staring at me. "And I can't do this If you're this tense."She took in slow breaths and I smirked when she had her eyes cast down, trying to relax. She really didn't know what was going on did she? Did she think we were going on some rollercoaster ride? "You done?" With a cocky ark to my brow I leaned down with both hands still at her sides to hold up my
Draven's pov I stood there, watching as a slow lazy smile spread across her face before she finally turned towards me. I was already standing right behind her at the edge of the bed, a furrowed brow in my face as I frowned deeply at her. Vixen was trouble when it came to telling her what to do. Considering her father was a respectable Alpha King of a well to do influential pack, she had pride. And she was my concubine. My Second concubine but she was my favorite. She had this fire in her that would never be subdued unless you challenged her head on. "Come on, are you seriously going to choose her over me? You know you're mine on Thursdays and Fridays. Will that all really change because of her." The word 'her' leaving her lips was venomous and hateful. "I don't wish to be disturbed tonight Vixen." I sign as she reached up on her toes to curl her arms around my neck, drawing in closer. She had on a see through Satin night gown that hugged her curves perfectly and exposed her cleav
Anastasia's pov I woke up feeling drowsy, my eyes groggily open as warm sun sunlight seeped into them. I squinted for a bit, trying to adjust to the bright light before getting up, feeling my whole body ache. Everywhere hurt so badly that I could barely even stand. "Why does my head hurt..." I groaned to myself, rubbing my head, hoping the numbering pain would go away. "Good morning Luna Anastasia." I heard two people say simultaneously and was stunned when I raised my head to see two maids standing in front of me with bright smiles on their faces. For a minute, I was so confused that I had forgotten about the aching pain in my head. I just sat there, one hand holding my head as I looked at them in shock. "G- good morning." Did they just call me Luna. "I'm Estella and this is my twin sister, Jessica and we were given the honor of serving you." They both bowed and I turned flustered when I understood the situation. "Please rise. That's okay." I say awkwardly and attempted to st
In an absolute state of shock and a state of pain , I tried to understand the fatal scenario which just played out as lizzy and Estella kept on apologizing on MY behalf. It felt like a lightning spear came brushing down my face, with immense speed. I could feel the handprints while just feeling through. It felt like a very annoying bee sting. I wished to ask questions and throw exclamatory and harsh claims on the bastard but those burdens couldn't get through my mouth which was shut. I was perplexed and disturbed, everything around me felt confusing. Nothing to say or add to that embarrassing moment as my heart kept racing and minor surges of anger inflict me like a cancer. She didn't look like she cared if the hot tea scalded me, I knew this from the hatred in her eyes as she was starring at me . I didn't know of her name but I knew that now wasn't the right time to ask for it because the situation was extremely tense. Now the thing that blew me off was the fact that after I got
The Environment couldn't get more tense as discussions grew profusely at the meeting hall. Not one person took an unserious expression during the meeting. The hall took an uncanny and unprecedented design that wasn't like any ordinary meeting hall. Everyone including some particular Alphas and Lunas sat down in the most arranged and sequenced manner in the meeting making the hall somewhat as compactible as a fancy ballroom. The most important personnels in the room being the likes of the Lyan Devil Triplets; Damien, Draven and Darius filled the hall with winds of discussion solely on the strategy planning for the Forbiddens. The triplets really knew how to take up authority and responsibilities to take on the role of commendable leadership. Swiveling thoughts from the triplets concerning the discussion, Damien surveiled the entire scene playing out in the room. He was more cautious in the terms of what to say about the Luna ceremony than any one in the room while he moved his eyes ra
Anyone could literally cut through the air with a knife as Violet and her group of concubines approached the scene with a series of intensified shouting out questions of why a weak person like Anastatia should be in the harem of concubines. Things couldn't get more tense as it already was. The place was filled with curious, frustrated and confused concubines with their assumed " queen " Violet ready to angrily give reasons why someone like Anastatia should leave the harem and how she herself will fight her out. " She's not even a strong one like the rest of us, she just like the others, weak and pathetic" Violet continued starting to pitch up her voice " I'll defeat her and show her the place she rightly belongs, I'll show her that I'm the alpha around here ". Her fellow "associates", seemed to love Violet's charisma towards taking down anastatia and they low-key hooted for affirmation." I can't believe we have a weak one amongst us at the harem. " Elena, one of Violet's concubines
Anastasia's pov I felt all the blood in my face drain as I read the contract papers over and over again in my head until I grew sick with fear and disgust. The words seemed to blur before my eyes as my mind struggled to process the magnitude of what I had just read, my thoughts racing. "No." Mustering all the willpower in me, I faced the Alpha and his family as I said, not even flinching under their hard, cold glares. "I'm not doing It.""You don't have a choice in this. You never did." The Alpha's face was full of scorn and wrinkled lines as he frowned at me, ignoring the look of horror on my face. "The arrangements have already been made in prior to the agreement."I could feel my heart pounding hard against my chest, my vision glazed over and the papers dropped from my hands. I had been sold to the Lycan Triplets as their breeder. Not even a wife or a concubine, a breeder. The Lycan Triplets owned and ruled over the largest pack in the werewolf territory. They were known to be
Anastasia's pov As the car drove past the large golden gates leading into the Lycan Triplets' main mansion, I felt the butterflies in my stomach turn to angry moths, flapping and struggling to tear through and escape their confined space. I closed my eyes and steadied my breathing, hiding my shaky fingers under the small bag I had with me which contained my things.Not that I had much to pack anyway. I had a few change of clothes and my mother's things; the ruined journal, some of our pictures, which fortunately was still intact, a locket with our picture inside and an amulet with an emerald green jewel which I always wore, not only because It matched my eyes but because It was the last gift she had given me before she died and I promised myself never to take It off. It was the most expensive thing I owned and many times, my step family had tried to forcefully take It to sell but I didn't let them, even If it meant getting hit. I protected the amulet with my life and will continue
