《 Aurora's pov 》

His commanding tone brought on a wave of fear, yet something else stirred. I wasn't sure.

His voice was gruff, masculine, like it had gone through so much during his time on earth. And as my eyes lift, they fell into pools of amber. I wasn't sure if it was fright that caused my intake of a sharp breath or if it was the sharpness of his jawline and the plump lips that lined into a frown. He was very tall too,  I had to crane my neck to look at his face properly. 

His aura screamed what everyone talked about, deadly and calculating. But what they failed to have mentioned was how devastatingly handsome he was for a cold-blooded murderer. They also had failed to mention how young he looked too. He didn't seem to be older than the age of thirty.

He took a strong step towards me, his dark midnight hair weighing down by the rain. I flinched, not able to keep the fear off my face any longer. I was now facing the infamous dangerous Alpha of the Crimson Moon pack. There was no way, I could force down my fear any longer.

"Alpha, we found these two stumbling into the territory late last night. This one seemed to be after something." It was Eli who spoke, pushing the rogue lightly to draw the Alpha's attention.

When his eyes are finally off of me, I could feel the air drawing back to my lungs. But I spoke too soon because as soon as his eyes flit from mine, they draw back as quickly.

"And what of this one?" He nudges his head towards me. I couldn't get past through his eyes to see his true emotions. He was locking them away pretty skillfully, and for an Alpha, I didn't expect anything less.

"We're not sure Alpha. But Beta Samuel suggested that she was a spy seeing that her scent gave off a familiar pack." Eli answered.

Alpha Xavier's eyes turned foggy. He was mind linking someone. Seconds later, the Beta arrives, looking disgruntled that he was getting drenched by the rain.

"Alpha." He bowed a little when he stops beside Alpha Xavier. I couldn't help but keep my eyes on the Alpha. Still couldn't wrap my head around the fact that his face was clearly treasured and carved by the Gods.

I have seen many handsome wolves before, that was something wolves never lacked. They were born to look like God's. Yet the one standing before me with his arms crossed and feet apart in a powerful stance made my mouth water for the first time.

"What is she, Beta Samuel?" He removes his amber eyes away from me to regard his Beta who looked as confused as him. It was not every day one would see someone who had features like mine. It was a curse to look this way. Drew too much attention. The bad ones.

"Not sure Alpha Xavier. But she isn't of wolf lineage nor human by her odd features. When I neared her last night, she smelled familiar. I am sure she was sent here as a spy, maybe the cause of the recently spotted killings at the end of the border." Samuel grunts, looking at me.

Alpha Xavier hums and my heart sped up. "What pack are you from?"

I shook my head. I wasn't part of the Crystal River pack since Alpha Raphael refused to accept me as one of their own. But I couldn't confess to being there, then they'd surely kill me thinking I was indeed a spy sent by Raphael to take revenge on his murdered first Luna.

"I'm not from a pack. You have this all wrong, I was fleeing-

"Lies!" Beta Samuel cut me off. I shrank under his accusing gaze. "I know what I smelled last night-

Alpha Xavier lifted his hand to silence Beta Samuel and looks down at me with eyes that shouldn't belong to a man like him. "Take her in for more questioning. She's clearly not saying the truth-

"Exactly why we should kill her before we regret it," Chris budded in behind me. I froze, my heart racing painfully.

Alpha Xavier's eyes harshly snap behind me as he glowers. "Do not interrupt me while I am speaking."

Ripping his eyes away from Chris, he pins me down with his stare again. "Take the girl inside and have her stay in the room beside my own. It's empty. " His Alpha command was clear.

"Alpha are you sure it's a good idea to allow a spy into the packhouse? And to have her in the room beside your own?" Beta Samuel grunted,  flashed his Alpha a look of surprise, and looked down at me in reluctance. By his features and the other wolves muteness, I realized that it may be the first time their Alpha spared someone. For now.

"Are you questioning my command?" Xavier growled lowly, canines extending as flecks of red joined the amber.

"No Alpha. We will get her inside." Beta Samuel rushed to grab my arm and tugged me up to my feet. I grunt. "Come on girl," He says, tugging me quickly to the huge packhouse.

Before the door was closed behind us, the painful scream of the rogue woman tore through me. 

He didn't spare her.

_______

"Wait-

I'm roughly pushed inside the room and I span around just in time to see the door shut in my face. I looked down at the knob when I hear the click of it locking.

I needed to get out of here. All I asked for was freedom yet I'm thrust back into the world of wolves. The same world I wanted to escape from.

Oh, Cas. You would be disappointed to know that I have stumbled into trouble. I only hope that you didn't get the same fate as me.

I bit my nails as I backed away from the door and looked around the room. It was a decent size and was clearly being kept clean. The bedding on the bed seems to be freshly changed by the faint smell of fabric softener.

My eyes draw to the door on my left. It was either a closet or a bathroom. But I was mostly leaning on bathroom. Removing my gaze, I walked towards the window.

When Beta Samuel rushed me inside with a painful grip, he tugged me upstairs and through the halls so quickly that I only saw flashes of other wolves that looked weary of my presence.

I was not welcomed here, yet the Alpha made me walk through these walls. Perhaps as a prisoner, but why would he allow me inside a room? Is this the way he treats his prisoners?

No. It was clearly a trick. I know his game. He'd make me relax, think he'd spare me and have me go on my way, only to shatter my hope and kill me. There was no other explanation. Alpha Xavier doesn't show mercy.

I approach the window cautiously looking behind me at the door. If there was a chance I can escape, I'd take it. I didn't want to die by his hands. The scream of the rogue woman still echoed through my head and instilled fear into me.

I needed out of here before I suffer the same fate as her.

My hands touched the glass as I looked down below. I felt the air wash out of my lungs as my eyes fall on the rogue woman. Or what was left of her. She was torn from limb to limb. Her blood now dancing with the mud and dirty puddles.

I looked at Eli picking up one of her arms and flinging it playfully at Chris who smacked it away, seeming to be annoyed. But someone was missing, the Alpha.

I shivered, dread curling my tummy with unease as I backed away from the window.

They were monsters.

Disgusting monsters.

I pressed my palm to my furiously beating heart as I realized my fate was sealed. I couldn't jump out the window when they were no longer in sight, it was far too high. I was no wolf, my legs would break.

I stilled. The door was being unlocked.

I span around when it's suddenly thrust open and the powerful presence suffocates the air. My eyes fall into those of amber and I swallowed.

Was it my turn to die?

My eyes fall to his hand, noting the crimson coating his fingers. He was truly here to murder me.

One step into the room had me backing away. Not only was I cold from the rain but I was cold with fear. "Alph-a Xavier," I plead. 

Was I allowed to say his name? Was I allowed to call him Alpha?

His eyes flickered with an emotion that I couldn't read, and the low growl at the back of his throat made the hairs behind my neck rise.

He walks into the room fully and slams the door behind him. His amber pools scanned me from head to toe before he grunts. "You need a shower."

  • The Alpha Claimed Me Deeply   Epilogue

    《Aurora's pov》 "Push Luna." The female doctor encouraged. "Ahh!" I screamed loudly that it bounced off the walls in the room and danced outside. I held onto my knees, lifting myself up a little and pushed. My chest rose and fell, my heart beating incredibly fast. My hair stuck to my sweaty face and the gown I wore was plastered to my sweaty body. Xavier had one knee on the bed the other on the floor, and one of his arms holding my back while the other removed the tresses off my face. "You got this my love. If anyone can do it, it will be you." He whispered in my ear, kissing my cheek despite me being so sweaty. "Come on Luna. Push!" The female doctor encouraged louder while the other nurses around her made a shout of encouragement. "One." I breathed put through my lips as Xavier rubbed my back. "Two." "Three." I pushed harder, silently begging our baby to hurry up and come out. The pain was unbearable and the doctor informed me that as soon as the child is out, it was common

    《Aurora's pov 》"Let's get out of here now." I urged when I reach beside Cass and Serena.Cass nods in agreement and so does Serena.I had just made the entire Crystal River pack rogues. They had no Alpha, no leader and Raphael had no heir.I was sure Raphael wanted the alpha title to be in his bloodline, which is why he would've forced me to carry his seed. So there's no way he would've passed it down to his Beta and Gamma.Now their ranks would no longer matter since they are now also rogues."I can shift," Cassandra suggested, looking at Serena.I looked at Cass worriedly. "Are you sure you can handle it?" I asked in concern while I shift my gaze to the wolves who were still there. They looked lost, not knowing what to do or where to go from here.I also had them still trapped, not wanting them to attack when we least expected it.Because even though they weren't trying to escape the captivity of the roots and branches, I still did not trust them. They were, after all, the same wol

    《Aurora's pov》"Come on we don't have much time!" I rushed out as I hear the snarls of the wolves. They were fighting back.I looked around frantically, unsure of which route to take. I can't go back upstairs and I wasn't sure there weren't others waiting for us the other way out of this nasty place. Cass stepped over the little protruding of the steel left and runs over to me, she pulls me in a hug. " I'm so glad he hadn't done anything to you Rora." I bit my tongue, not wanting to tell her that he did actually break my wrist, and prayed that she wouldn't notice the ugly discoloring that was slowly starting to paint the skin of my wrist. She pulls away and stares at my face, her eyes roaming everywhere in worry. "That's not your blood is it?" Her tone was filled with concern, something that did not surprise me one bit.I shook my head no. "It's not," I whispered shakily knowing the woman's eyes would haunt me for the rest of my life. I had taken her life and had not cared in the m

    : Xavier's pov :I stormed out of the pack house, my body trembling with unleashed anger. Reckon was furious, livid in fact. He wanted his mate back in our arms. We were ready for war. But as I scan my eyes over the fighters of my pack, I am aware that some did not seem to want to fight at all. Which was worrisome. For them, not me. "Why is no one in their positions and ready to take off!?" I snarled through the air. "Have the Crimson Moon warriors gone weak?" I sneered when no one answered just looked away. A boy, not older than twenty looked at me and thought it was a good idea to speak. "We think it's a stupid idea to go against Raphael right now, especially when he has the wolfsbane. And now that he has the Luna. He can make more- "Are you saying you'd much rather leave your Luna to die!?" I snarled taking a menacing step forward. He needs to choose his words carefully. I may not be as patient as I portray. The boy squirms and bends his head. "No, of course not." It's quiet

    《 Aurora's pov》I kept my gaze plastered to the floor as the male wolf led me through the packhouse. I can hear snickers and my gut wrenches as I remember what I had endured by these wolves hands.They were cruel and I should not expect anything less."Such an imbecile for thinking she can escape alpha Raphael. Dumb bitch."The voice belonged to Alice, after years of tormenting, and my brain now can detect her voice instantly.I can hear the others laugh at my expense but I still kept my gaze down. It would be best to ignore them and not waste my time by staring at their faces."What is that stench?" Alice asked with disgust in her voice.The male wolf's hand around my arm is brutal and I was sure if he added the slightest of pressure he'll manage to break my arm.He leads me up the staircase just behind the struggling vampire who was also held by a buff cruel looking male wolf. His face was familiar but I couldn't put a name to the face."Let go of me you nasty leech!" The vampire wo

  • The Alpha Claimed Me Deeply   76

    《Aurora's pov》I pulled away from Cass completely to stare at the female vampire. I looked at her confused.The way she spat out my name was as though we were well acquainted and that I had done her something extremely terrible.I did not know the woman. And have never seen her before.She was not at all familiar but she seem to give away that she knew my mother.And by the nasty glare coming from her eyes to burn through me, I knew that she hadn't quite liked my mother as well."How do you know my mother?" I whispered in intrigue.This was the first time someone have ever mentioned my mother. Because no one knew her. No one knew what she was.But this woman, I can tell by the gleam in her eyes, she knew her. She knew me. And she knew what we were. Perhaps what we can do as well.A smirk so cruel and disdainful appears on her lips. "You're a curious little thing aren't you? ""But to answer your question, I was a dear friend of your mother's. We were practically besties as they call i
