Rose's POV.
As soon as I opened my eyes,I was greeted with total darkness. The incident that happened between supreme Alpha Alex and I rushed into my head.I remembered passing out in the process of his men whipping me, maybe I was still unconscious because that's the only explanation for this darkness and emptiness. I pinched myself and I realized that I was awake.It was so dark here that I couldn't see even a tiny ray of light. I wondered where I was,maybe I was in hell."Hello", my faint voice echoed and there was no response.I tried standing up but the pain I felt when I was being whipped was still there. I bit my lips and closed my eyes,all I wanted was to escape from this darkness and the pain I was feeling right now.***I opened my eyes again and I was greeted with the same darkness, nothing changed. I Wonder how long I have been here. I felt very weak,hungry and thirsty.This was the normal routine for me now, waking up and sleeping after realizing that I was still in the same dark space. I wonder if I could survive this anymore,I would probably die in my sleep.***ALEX'S POV.It has been raining since midnight and it made the weather cool,all I just wanted was to enjoy my sleep."Mate", my wolf whispered and I frowned."Mate""Mate"I covered myself with the duvet,I closed my eyes tightly so I could fall back to sleep but my wolf didn't let me. It was so restless that it affected my whole being. I became restless too.I stood up and lit the candle light before going to the window side, staring at the dark surrounding. I knew it was 3 or 4 am in the morning.My gaze went to the bed and I was greeted with Brenda who was sleeping peacefully on the bed.She had spent the night over. I noticed that my wolf couldn't allow me to have my peace of mind whenever I was with another woman ever since I met that rude and lowly mate of mine.My wolf has been on my neck although I have been trying to lock it out of mind but nothing I did was working. It was becoming to uncomfortable for me."Mate", it whispered again in my ears and I gritted my teeth in anger."Shut the fuck up,I am going to see that damn mate of yours now", I yelled and I felt an excruciating pain in my head.I held my head and fell on my knees,my wolf was really fighting me because of that lowly bitch.I put on my robe and stepped out of my room,I took one of the torchlights outside and headed down to the dungeon where she was locked for days now.The soldiers guarding my premises in the night bowed when they saw me passing by,the security in my abode and pack was top notch,some soldiers were parading in their Lycan form and they were ready to tear any intruder apart.Soon I arrived the dungeon."Greetings supreme Alpha", the chief guard in charge of the dungeon said to me bowing his head when he saw me."I want to see the lowly omega that was brought here days ago”, he ordered."Okay supreme Alpha,I will take you there",he responded.We were walking when her scent wafted my nostrils."Mate", my wolf whispered and I walk past the chief guard immediately,I just wanted to see her so my wolf can leave me alone.It didn't take long before I stood before a big iron door. My wolf was becoming impatient as it was trying to take over but I didn't allow it as I tried to control it. The chief guard rushed immediately and opened the door, I stepped inside immediately with my torchlight and I saw her laying down on the floor.She was in a messy state, I felt disgusted but my wolf couldn't let me to act on my own. I found myself approaching her, I bent on my knees and carried her up in a bridal style before leaving the place.***Shortly after, Rose opened her eyes slowly, she was surprised to see light instead and not darkness. She tried to move her body but her body was still sore. Just then the physician entered the room."Where am I ?", she asked."You are in the royal clinic", he replied before wearing his hand glove. "Stay still", he said to her checking her eyes.After checking her body,he shook her injection and Rose drifted to sleep again."How is she?'', I asked the physician as he was coming out of the room.The Physician wondered why I the supreme Alpha king was concerned about a weak she wolf."Her recovery depends on her wolf,her wolf is weak causing her not to recover quickly", the physician replied and I nodded.I entered the room and stared at Rose while she was sleeping. It was not possible for me to take this lowly weak omega as my mate or Luna,I was willing to fight my wolf than accept her.I would have sent her back to her pack because her presence here was making me restless as my wolf wouldn't let me be but I didn't want to let her go easily not after she had disrespected me. She was the first girl that disrespected me and I was not okay with that.I would make her wish she didn't know me, I will torture her till she pleads to lick my feet."My love,where have you been?", Brenda asked as I stepped into the room."What kind of question is that?Are you forgetting that I am the supreme Alpha and I have work to do?", I said to her."I'm sorry", Brenda apologized to me.She got up from the Bed and walked up to me. She hugged me and my wolf became annoyed with the fact that another woman was touching me."Let go..let go of me", I said to Brenda but she didn't listen.She looked up to me to know what was wrong but shivers ran down her spine when she saw how I was glaring at her, with my eyes which had turned green.I tightened my grip on her wrist and Brenda felt pain as she thought that her wrist was going to break anytime soon."Get out", I said in a deep but scary voice closing my eyes.Brenda ran out of the room in fear,since she began to date me. This was the first time I was acting this cold towards her. She wondered what was wrong.As soon as she left,I sat down on the bed and as I rubbed my head with my palms trying to calm my wolf down.I was fed up with how my wolf was acting,it was affecting me greatly. My mate was becoming a threat to my life and it didn't sit well with me. I had to put a stop to this,but how?***Brenda’s POV:I sat with Lisa and her younger sis Hailey,lost in thoughts and listening to their little banters"Gosh I love my mate so much,I am so lucky to have him as my mate", Hailey said smiling."Of course you will like him,it's not like you have a choice," Lisa replied."Says someone who is mated to an ugly looking lowly omega,your mate is the same level as Rose", Hailey mocked her laughing out loud."At least I rejected him so you don't have anything on me, what about you? you have been bragging that you would reject your mate if he is not an alpha or son of an alpha, now you found your mate and he is nothing but a gamma, what are you waiting for to reject him? I am not like you,I keep to my words", Lisa said to Hailey who rolled her eyes at her."That doesn't change the fact that you are now mateless," Hailey scowled back at her.Lisa didn't want to continue the argument with Hailey because she knew that it would only lead to them fighting. Her gaze went to me and she noticed that I was unusually quiet."Brenda,are you okay?You have been unusually quiet today”, Lisa questioned."You should use your common sense to know the source of her moodiness", Hailey said to Lisa who frowned at her."What do you know?", Lisa asked."Rose is mated to her boyfriend,the supreme Alpha king Alex,she is so lucky", Hailey said aloud."What?", I and Lisa said at the same time."What do you mean by that?", I asked again."Don't tell me that the both of you haven't heard what happened? the supreme Alpha king found his mate already and it happens to be Rose", Hailey replied."Do you mean the Rose we know or is there any other Rose?", Lisa asked."Yes,it's the Rose we all know,Our cousin Rose king", Hailey replied.To my readers,As you turn the final page of this book and set it down, I want to express my deepest gratitude for sharing this story with me.

Rose’s POV:Five years have passed. I watch my son Jeremy play in the sand, giggling as Glenda and Daphne act as his aunties and George as one of his uncles. I sit on the porch remembering Alex, Jeremy's father and Charles, his kind uncle. I don't know what the future holds but I chose peace. "When you choose peace, be ready to say a lot of goodbyes," I often think.Jeremy looks at me, smiling. Then his eyes turn from blue to bright green. I gasp in shock. "Come here, Jeremy," I call to my little son. "You're safe under my love," I whisper. Alex is a lycan and I am half werewolf, half witch. The prophecy has long passed, yet here sits a child of two worlds. Jeremy cuddles close. I stroke his hair, thinking of the journey that brought us here. I thought I was fleeing my past, but it followed me in this precious child. Glenda comes to the porch. "All okay, Rose?" she asks, looking from me to Jeremy. I smile. "More than okay. This is where I'm meant to be."She hugs us both. "Family
George POV:I had made camp for the night and was sitting by the fire when I heard a sound in the bushes. I saw a frazzled young woman had collapsed unconscious. As I reached her, a lunar birthmark shone luminously on her back - this must be the girl I've sought for so long, the prophecy told of! I turned her over and gasped. "Isn't this Alpha King Alex's mate?" I hesitated, unsure what to do. But as I tried to leave, she grabbed my hand weakly and pleaded, "Please help me." I could not leave her so I took her in, building up the fire. When she awoke, I gave her food and water. The next day we set off towards Hazelwood together. As we walked, I felt honored to be helping fulfill the prophecy at last. Soon we came to a junction where my friends Glenda and Daphne greeted us. "George, still don't know the safest route to Hazelwood I see!" Glenda joked. "Very funny," I replied. "This is Rose. Rose, these witches will help guide us home." Daphne smiled warmly at Rose. "You're safe w
"Rose?" Charles whispered, stepping out of the shadows.I breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank God you're here," I whispered back. "I was starting to worry that you wouldn't make it.""Calm down, Rose," Charles said in a comforting voice. "We must leave quickly now." Charles led me to the mysterious hidden door and handed me a book he wrote about our family. "I will make sure to tell my unborn child about you,his Uncle," I vowed through tears. "Will you return?" Charles asked, his voice filled with emotion. "I'll make sure my unborn child knows his roots and father," I sobbed hard, thanking Charles for his love and care. "You must go now, Alex will be back from hunting soon," Charles said as we said our goodbyes, hoping we would meet again.I followed the secret passageway that Charles showed me, escaping from Alex's castle at last. Every minute I stayed was a minute too long, carrying Alex's cub but treated so cruelly. As I hurried through the passage, I rubbed my still-flat belly
Rose’s POV:"The biggest coward of a man is to awaken the love of a woman without the intention of loving her.”After a week. The cold floor felt harsh against my knees as I scrubbed the chambers floor. My stomach churned again as a wave of nausea hit me. I swallowed hard, resisting the urge to vomit. I had to hide this from Alex, I didn't know how he would react. He had been so distant this past week, barely looking at me let alone touching me. The tender love I thought was blossoming between us seemed to be fading away. Hot tears rolled down my cheeks and I wiped them away angrily. What did I expect? I was just a slave, a plaything for him to use as he pleased. But I had started to hope for more. I thought he cared for me. Now I felt like a fool.My mind was troubled with dark thoughts as I worked. If things continued this way, I would have to find a way to escape. I couldn't bear much more of this. I needed to speak with the old physician, the only friend I had here. We hadn't ta
Alex’s POV:I had to go to my older brother Charles and tell him about Rose. It was difficult to admit, but I had to confess that she was the one. The prophecy was real. I stormed into Charles’s study, fuming with anger. “Why didn’t you tell me about Rose? That she is the one the prophecy foretold? I have fallen for the enemy!” Charles looked up calmly from his book. “I wanted you to find love, brother. Rose is special, she is your soulmate.”“She is meant to destroy me!” I slammed my fist on the table. “This is my life at stake. My kingdom. And you see me as the tyrant Alpha King that needs to be overthrown?”Charles sighed. “The kingdom needs change, Alex. Peace. Someone like Rose could help you become a better leader. A better man.” “I rule Atlantic with force to keep order. There is no room for peace,” I growled. “There has been no peace since you divided the packs. Became king after Josiah's treason. Mother would not have wanted this life for you, Alex."I glared at Charles.
