The contract

Eren’s Point Of View

“The stars in the sky are aligned with the full moon tonight. You will find the blessed one you seek as the Moon goddess allows.” I replayed Celeste, my royal head witch, words in my head. She had told me that I would find the blessed one tonight under the full moon and she was right. But what she failed to interpret in her divination was that the Moon goddess Blessed One would be my bloody mate!

Even though I did not foreshadow this twist happening, here I was before the most stunning beauty I had ever come across. My mate and my Savior.

My name is Eren Blackwell, and the Alpha of the SilverCreek Pack and the ruler of the North kingdoms.

To the world, I am a mad king. I am known as the Bastard Blood Alpha king, who went crazy for power and plotted my father's demise, and they couldn't be further from the truth because that's just who I am. I am the bad guy the world believes I am.

But the truth that I had managed to keep from the ears of my pack and the rest of the continent was that I was cursed to die by my father and I didn't have much time left.

I had to keep my predicament a secret from those vultures that would want me dead, I couldn't have any weakness that my enemies could exploit. There were only three people in my pack which I could trust with my secret: my Beta, Delta, and my pack's witch.

For years now, I have been searching for the Moon goddess, Blessed One. The Blessed One was the only one who could help me break my curse according to the prophecy. But I haven't had any luck in locating that person.

My search for the Blessed One was what led me to the Way Haven pack, a pack known for trading slaves. I was told by my witch that I would find the one I seek tonight but I wasn't so optimistic.

I had led my army into the Way Haven pack to find the Blessed one and free the slaves that their Alpha had captive.

We had arrived at the pack and were resting within the pack without drawing any attention to ourselves. I planned to attack tomorrow at dawn but I couldn't control myself.

I suddenly developed a restless feeling. My wolf was going crazy within me.

'Natan! What is wrong with you?' I barked at him.

'She's here... I can feel her presence.' Natan snapped back at me as he struggled to take control but I fought him back.

'Mate!' I growled, my eyes burning a bright red color. I let out a growl before attacking two guards of the way Haven pack.

I let out a terrifying howl into the night air, signaling my warriors to attack the pack.

"Alpha, are you okay?" my beta, Reiner, rushed beside me.

"Reiner, she's here. My mate." I growled at him, my wolf taking full control over me.

I charged toward the pack's castle, where her scent beaconed; my senses were completely overtaken by rage. I swung my claws, attacking any wolf that tried to come in my path. My warriors followed my lead, attacking the way Haven pack.

I didn't want a mate. I always saw mates as a weakness, and maybe watching so many mates betray their Alphas whenever I conquer a pack because they don't want to give up a good life. .. But my wolf still wanted one.

I had to get inside the pack. The scent of my mate was intoxicating me and it drove me crazy. I left a pile of lifeless bodies in my way. I was on a killing spree and my eyes desperately sought for the pack's Alpha to end this battle in minutes.

Even when we caught his beta, the Alpha was nowhere to be found.

After forcing the pack to surrender, I was informed by my beta that Alpha Jason had escaped and ran. So the little Alpha abandoned his pack.

I just laughed, shaking my head at the scared faces of his pack members. The poor werewolves were ruled by a sheep all this while. He had chose to abandon his people the second at danger came knocking.

"Find that mutt!" I ordered my beta.

Natan was going reckless as I walked inside the ruins of the pack's castle. The scent of my mate was suffocating here. She was very close.

"Search the entire pack! Bring whoever is in the basement back alive." I commanded.

While I was sorting out what to do with the captives, the scent hit me again but stronger and more defined. It scents like beautiful flowers in bloom.

'Mate!' my wolf gasps as my eyes find a pair of electric blue eyes looking back at me.

It was her.

I could see fear looming in her eyes for me, but there was something else in there.

'No it couldn't be.' she had the mark of the Blessed one. Etched deep into her blue orbs, I could see them glow clearly, reflecting the mark of the crescent moon.

The Blessed one I needed to break my curse was my mate!

What sort of tasteless joke was this? I never wanted a mate but now she was the one I needed to keep close. She was my only salvation.

My eyes travelled down on her almost naked and scarred body and I could feel something move in me.

'Please don't reject her.' I heard Natan plead from within. 'Our mate had been through a lot.'

'And why would I reject her?' I scoffed at my wolf. 'Rejecting her would be no fun, after all there's a whole lot more things she could be useful for.' A smile met my lips as I watched my innocent-looking mate.

I needed to make her play into my game. Only then can I win.

The cowardly alpha was caught and brought back. I couldn't stop myself from stealing glances from my little mate. I had ordered one of my men to cover her up, I couldn't stand another man looking at what belonged to me.

I even killed that Delta. I could scent my mate all over him, as well as his lust. That bastard dared to touch what was mine.

"Please don't kill us!" I heard her speak for the first time as I threatened to have everyone in the pack killed. My wolf felt turned on just by hearing her sweet little voice. He wanted to mark her right here. I only longed to hear her soft moans while I ram into her like a fucking animal.

I hated the way she made me feel. How I could barely have any control over my thoughts, it was so unlike me, this was a new emotion for me.

I knew I had to have her, I was beyond thrilled when she accepted to be my slave, my breeder.

Alpha Jason's eyes were burning with anger and jealousy when she offered to be my slave. I could tell that there was some sort of history between my mate and that coward.

I dragged her to an empty room to talk without ears listening.

"Do you accept to be my breeder?" I felt Natan howl in pain. He hated that I was only interested in keeping our mate as a breeder but that was the only way I was going to accept her in my life. And I needed to keep her by my side no matter the cost.

"Okay, I accept. If it would keep everyone here in my pack safe." she agreed. I smiled victoriously.

"Yes, it will; you have my word. Everyone here, including the pathetic Alpha, would be spared." I assured her but she didn't seem convinced.

"How can I take your word for it? What if you just change your mind tomorrow and kill everyone?" she questioned. She was smart; I liked that. She had some of the qualities of a good Luna: selfless, decisive, and intelligent.

"You're right. You shouldn't trust me. That's why both of us will sign a contract.” I tell her.

"A contract?" she repeated after me.

"Yes. We will go over the details once we return to my pack." I explain as I head towards the room's door.

"Stay in here Allyssa. I will prepare for our departure.” I said before stepping out of the room.

My kingdom flags have been placed all around the pack, it was conquered and belonged to me now. I found my beta Reiner busy assigning the positions to the men who would stay back to keep an eye on the pack.

"Reiner, get everyone ready to leave," I told my beta and childhood friend with a smile.

"Did we manage to get what we came here for?" he asked, and I smiled, placing a hand on his shoulder.

"I think we got more than that. The old witch was right after all." I chuckled, replaying her words in my head.

I don't know what the moon goddess had in mind but I'm curious to see how this plays out.
