It's been two days since Alexander returned from the war, and somehow he has not been able to take his mind off the slave girl he saved on that fateful day.And even though he could tell that she was weak and wolfless, he found himself thinking about her often.He'd never fancied any girl as much as he did for her, which surprised him the most. She was not all that good-looking like all the other girls he had been with.She was tiny, didn't have great skin, and was unsure of herself.But why was he feeling this way towards her, and why was she the only thing he had been thinking of since he first set his eyes on her?His wolf had been silent, but as soon as he smells her close by, he gets restless. Is his wolf not supposed to claim her at first sight if she is his mate? He wondered.He had been doing all he could to not give in to the desire to go over to the medical section of the pack just to behold her one more time.To smell herAnother thing that bothered Alex a lot was the fact t
Alex was beyond stunned to see that his newfound interest was right where he would have loved to have her.She was looking different; she had cleaner clothes, and her face was a bit more relaxed than the last time he had seen her.He looked at the shivering girl before him as he tied his towel around his waist. He could tell she was terrified of him, and while a little part of him wanted to assure her that she had nothing to fear.The other part was more concerned with teasing her, playing with her emotions just as she had unknowingly done to him since he first set eyes on her.With his height towering over her, he took gentle strands around her like a predator caging in his prey."I'm sorry," Ashley mumbled from her confused and troubled mind.She wondered why he hadn't ordered the guards to come to get her to punish her or execute her."What are you sorry for?" he asked as he kept circling her."I'm sorry for..." Ashley gulped down the words that were about to slip from her lips. S
The thought that Ashley had seen a naked man for the first time in her life kept bothering her. She had not just seen any ordinary naked man, she had seen a naked alpha. The more she thought of the awkward situation, the more she became scared for her life. What haunted her the most were the things the alpha said to her; the fact that he said that he wanted to see her naked; and the way his words made her feel. Why would the alpha say that? And why was there this tiny little bit of her that liked the way he was looking at her? She felt his piercing eyes while he walked around her. It almost felt as if she was bare before him. She had never been naked before with anyone present, as she was insecure about her body. She knew she was not as pretty as the other girls her age, and to avoid being embarrassed, she always allowed the other girls to finish taking their baths before going into the bathroom. But why was her heart throbbing while the alpha spoke? Why did her cheeks burn when he
Ashley It's been a month since I saved that badly wounded man's life, and no one has come to know of my secret. For security reasons, Grace had told me not to tell a soul about my special gift. I honestly would not mind having someone like Grace as my mother. She is super nice and welcoming to everyone. I decided that I would be giving one pint of blood whenever the need arose, to produce as much healing tonic as needed. There has been a lot of morale-boosting among the soldiers since they got word that they would no longer die from battle injuries. Other close-by packs have been coming around to try and find out the secret ingredients used for the healing tonic. But Grace has made it her point of duty to ensure they never get to know. None of the clinic workers knew about it. It has been a well-kept secret between the two of us. For the first time in my life, I feel at home. Grace treats me very nicely and ensures I have all I need. Maybe not entirely everything though, but mo
AlexanderThe sound of my alarm beeping at six-thirty in the morning woke me up from my sleep. I was having an intense headache that I mostly get after drinking a little too much alcohol.I sat down on my bed as my mind slowly drifted to the previous night's encounter with the slave girl whom I have asked to become my mate. I have been thinking about it for so long. With time running out on me, I can't afford to lose sight of the throne. It is my inheritance and I deserve to sit on it.It is safe to say that she is the only one that kept bumping into my mind all the time I was thinking about whom to have as a mate.I'm not so sure she would make a perfect luna since she is wolfless, but I will try to teach her everything she will need to know for the time being.I do feel, however, that I have made the right decision, and as it stands, I do not know much about her.Not that it is important to know her much, as she would be gone after a year.I just need her to help me become king, an
Ashley The next morning came quicker than I anticipated, even though I was up most of the night thinking about what Alpha Alexander told me. The question that kept bugging me was, "Why me?" He could have easily picked any other girl of his choice. There are over a thousand and one prettier girls that he could pick from, and they would be more than happy to oblige. Who would dare refuse an Alpha? A good-looking one at that. I did not just say that. Yup! It is what it is. Alpha Alexander has that look that will make you stop in your tracks at first glance. His beautiful grey eyes are like a gleam of delight. He has defined cheekbones and concrete jaws, combined with his devil may care outlook. I have a terrible feeling that this is going to end badly, they are going to find out that we lied and have me punished. I am particularly terrible at lying. What if I give myself away? I don't understand why life has to be so cruel and to think that I was starting to feel at home here. W
AlexanderThe ride to the shopping mall was very quiet; only the sound of the sweet, cool romantic songs I had on the car stereo filled our ears.Inside, the car was very cold and I had the air conditioning on. I turned to look at her from time to time. I could feel her insecurities, her trembling fingers, and her deafening silence.From one glance, you could tell she was not comfortable as she sat down like someone afraid to move or touch anything for the fear of being scolded.I wish I could assure her that she had absolutely nothing to be scared about and that I would protect her come what may. I don't know, but I do have this huge feeling that we can both fool everybody into believing that we are mates.She knows how much her very presence affects me. Her after-rainfall smell combined with the sunflower scent drives me nuts.She has the most aphrodisiac scent I have ever perceived in my life, and it's so fucking hard to concentrate on driving when all I want is to devour her innoc
Ashley Have you ever felt like something is too good to be true like you are in a beautiful dream where everything seems extraordinary and out of this world? That's exactly how I feel right now, even though I know that this arrangement between Alexander and me is fake. I still can't believe that a day will come when I will live and dress expensively. After we got home from the mall, Alex took me to his room. Well, not technically his room. There is a secret door from his room that leads to another room. The room is big, though not as big as his. There is a moderate-sized bed and a wardrobe. He said he mainly used the room in the past for just relaxation. There is no other door leading outside except through his bedroom door. According to him, he wants me to have the privacy I want, but I don't see how possible that is, as there is no bathroom in the room. There is only one bathroom, and it is in his room. So I guess I will have to always wait for him to go out before I take my ba
