Alvina was forced to awaken after frigid water was poured on her head. She need not question who it was; there was just one person who loved to do that- Gabriella, her stepsister, 2 years younger than the eighteen-year-old her.She quickly got off the bamboo bed and routinely fell on her knees, head bowed as she wore an apologetic face, "I'm sorry for inconveniencing you, my lady," she said in a hoarse voice, as loud as she could, disregarding the burning discomfort in her chest. This half-sister of hers made her ingest Wolfsbane last night, after the countless beatings she gifted her, all because she 'accidentally stepped' on Gabriella's foot. She's used to this though; Her life didn't remain the same from the moment Eleanor, her foxy stepmom, wed her father.Alvina's mother died after parturition, and her grieving dad blamed it all on her, accusing her of being a witch and a cursed soul. After marrying Eleanor, he mysteriously died a year after. Her cunning stepmom also wasted no
Minutes Later.After eating, Alvina was escorted to her new, furnished room where she received various beauty treatments. This pattern continued for 3 days until her skin looked supple like that of a young noble miss who's never done any work. Despite all the luxury she now enjoyed, Alvina always had a bad feeling, earnestly wishing that her family would reveal their true intentions. Her wish came true the next day while dining with her stepfamily.“You must have been mystified all these days, am I right?” Alpha Austin asked with a serious face.“Y-Yes, Dad,” she'd been using this term at his command for the past three days.“We fed, clothed and took good care of you for the past eighteen years, even though you are someone not related to us.” the Alpha paused.The silence was unsettling to her and it didn't help that her stepmom for the first time was smiling so much whenever their eyes met.The Alpha King continued, “ We did you a huge favor and now, it's time to repay that favor.
Alvina saw that in the throne room, there was an unfamiliar, ripped man with raven black shoulder-length hair that was tied into a small bun. His deep blue eyes scanned her from head to toe as she was escorted by her smiling bitch of a half-sister.Why wouldn't she be happy? She's not the sold daughter whose life and death rested on the breeding of a male child for the ruthless Alpha Ryder.Alvina knelt down before her stepfather and did obeisance. Her face was concealed by a beautiful silver face veil, so no one saw how unhappy she was underneath it.Gabriella helped her stand up and guided her to the left before making her kneel before the stern-looking Delta.“Lowly Princess Alvina greets Delta Johnson,” Alvina said in a forced sweet voice.The Delta nodded at her words and stood up from the chair, “Rise!” he commanded in a brash voice.“Thank you, Delta Johnson,” she said gently as Gabriella helped her get on her feet.“Take off your veil,” he commanded again.“I'm sorry, Delta Jo
Alvina was finally brought in before the king, her groom wearing a ragged gown. The Alpha King was behind a translucent black curtain and also masked, but the aura emanating from him sent several chills down her spine.Without being told, she fell to her knees and bowed her head.“A-Alvina greets the... the Alpha... Alpha king,” she managed to say with trembling lips. Shockingly, she could feel her wolf stir for the first time after many years of slumbering.‘Alvina, go to him. Ours,’ she said in her head.It befuddled her and she asked her wolf, 'Janet, what do you mean?''Dummy, he's ours! Mate!' her wolf happily responded.'Mate?' Alvina was bewildered at these words from Janet. Fated mates were something rare, and so most people chose whom they wanted to marry, just like the humans. But in the case of fated mates, unless they reject each other, they cannot marry someone else.And according to what she knew, fated mates would feel a spark run through their bodies when they touch
There was an hour left before midnight.Alvina had just gone to bed after she finished the brown book on the bedside cabinet. Her maids had also retired to sleep too for the night.Suddenly, her window was opened, and a masked figure clad in black entered the room and closed it. The sound of his deliberately loud footsteps awoke Alvina who quickly sat up.She turned to look at the tall man, who was now seated on her white couch, cross-legged, “You...” she held back whatever she wanted to say. If she was right, then this was the man who held her fate in his hands. Didn't he say he wasn't coming? Why was he here? To catch her by surprise?“Alvina,” he called while staring at his phone. She quickly got off the bed and fell to her knees before saluting the Alpha.“You know what to do,” he stated while she looked at him in bafflement.“Your majesty, please don't be offended. Could you please...”Ryder cut her off, “Silence!”She immediately prostrated, her body quaking. He enjoyed this
An hour later, Alvina's eyes slowly peeled open after much reluctance. She looked to her left as she sat up and saw her personal maid standing some distance away from the bed.Sensing some movement, Deliana raised her head to look at her mistress, “My lady, you're awake,” she cried out with delight on her face. She walked to the bed and knelt, “Congratulations on being favored by the Alpha. Wish you a healthy pregnancy.”Alvina frowned as she recalled what that bastard of a husband did to her from midnight till morning. He didn't even consider the fact that she was a virgin and pounded her the way he'd do an experienced whore, without clemency. Underneath the sheets, her hands balled into fists. He even nullified the mate bond by repudiating her and making it clear to her that she meant nothing to him. If she doesn't get pregnant, he'll have her killed. She frankly didn't even want to spend another minute in this hellhole. But what can she do? How can she escape? The security in th
This Alvina’s husband was someone terrifying. Because of their desires, they forgot and now look where it landed them.“Charlotte, I was never here. Alvina, I’m not the one who broke it. You know that.”“It’s fine. You guys can all go. I’ll tell my husband I tripped and fell and you know we’re all imperfect, right?”“Right! Right!” they hastily agreed and Charlotte was very thankful.“I’ll do anything you say. As long as you can keep this secret for me,” Charlotte said to Alvina after the other fake Lunas had left hurriedly.“Well, I’m sure you must know that my position is not stable. I’m practically a dead man walking,”“What?” Charlotte blurted out in puzzlement.“I’m a breeder for my husband. If I don’t get pregnant this month, he’ll have my head off.”Hearing this, Charlotte gasped and then covered her mouth while looking around, “Gosh! This is serious!” she whispered.“Yeah. You just said you’ll do anything for me, right?”“Yeah,” Charlotte nodded as she replied, looking uneasy.
