As soon as I reached my mom's room, I found her going through a few books. My mom was beautiful, calm, and kind-hearted. To my shame, she resembled my sister more than me. Both my sister and Mom had dark hair and dark eyes
No wonder I was called a freak. My hair color and eyes were different from the rest
“You came early today… no tests” my mom asked without even turning around. With a smile, I rushed to her and hugged her from behind.
“Sweet mother, you know I can't stay away from you,” I said, tightening my grip around her. The reason I didn't want to go was because of my mom and sister.
These two meant the world to me. Leaving so soon was hurting me… I had to take care of them both. Who knew what would happen if I left
“Young lady, do you need anything?” Mom asked and shrugged me away. Of course, she knew me very well.
“Mom…come” Grabbing her hand I led her to the sofa. She sat down gracefully and I did the same. Looking at her, she seemed worried. I wanted to ask but dropped the idea
“Is this about moving to the…”
“No, mom… that's not it… I wondered… well, hypothetically asking” I said, cutting her off, her brows creased questionably, and I knew what she was thinking.
“Mom, why does the alpha king need a virgin female… I mean, why here… I thought all werewolves preferred breeding with their kind” This had always been my question, in human books I read about werewolves… most of them mated with their kind. It was a crime to mate outside the clan
“Sweetie… those are traditions…the alpha king is a special being… his mate has to be pure and untouched by other men,” my mom said, cupping my face, her smile was beautiful and warm. The glimmer in her eyes made me feel relaxed. Unfortunately, I didn't think so.
“So…what happens if… well, his betrothal loses her virginity,” I asked hesitantly and the expression I got from her made me rethink my question.
“Young lady,” Mom said, widening her eyes as if suspicious of me.
“Relax… I'm asking on behalf of a friend… well, we were arguing about myths…so… I”
“The alpha has to choose another female and…” Mom was about to explain when the door suddenly opened. Both of us shifted our gaze to whoever entered without knocking and
“Hi auntie… Dad requested to see you” it was Grace said cheekily. She didn't even wait for my mom's reply and left.
“Before you go….well, since I won't be around… mom, my human friends…”
“There's a birthday party right… you can go… say goodbye and come back safely” Mom said without even me explaining to her. All I did was hug her for a little while, and then she left. The door closed and I sat there.
“Yes!” this was what I wanted to hear… It seemed there was still time for me to escape this
“Elina, it's time to lose your V-card, “I muttered, smiling to myself. At last, I found a solution. If I wasn't a virgin. Of course, they wouldn't want me. Then I was certain Jasmine would be the replacement.
Thinking up here, I knew what to do.
It seemed going to the party tomorrow night was my chance, any human male will be okay as long as I lost my virginity.
"But…" I walked to the dressing mirror. "This…" I ran my fingers on the dark mark from the previous night, the fang marks didn't disappear. Whoever that werewolf was, I hated him.

In a grand and opulent mansion, adorned with ornate detailing and surrounded by perfectly manicured gardens, stood a magnificent structure that exuded elegance and extravagance. The exterior walls shimmered in the golden light, cascading a sense of importance and mystery to those who beheld it.
In the heart of this unparalleled residence, the study room boasted towering bookshelves lined with leather-bound volumes, emitting an air of intellect and sophistication. The room was dimly lit, with richly patterned curtains swinging gently with the faint breeze. The soft glow from a chandelier overhead illuminated a large wooden table, where a masked man dressed entirely in black sat, his presence emanating both power and intrigue.
"Alpha," his right hand walked in and bowed respectfully.
"Did you find her?" He asked, his eyes narrowed into slits. Tension permeated the air as his assistant hesitated, his gaze locked onto the ground. He took a deep breath, gathering his courage, before informing him that they were still hunting for any trace of the elusive girl.
"We lost track of her…not even her scent could be detected," he replied, this was the first time he had seen such a thing. A girl with such a unique scent.
"You didn't find her? Then what the fuck are you doing here!" A muffled rage resonated through the Alpha's voice as he slammed his hand onto the polished surface of the table, causing the assistant to involuntarily flinch. The sound echoed as a proclamation of his frustrations and the urgency of his mission.
"I…we.."
His dark eyes bore into the assistants, their fire reflecting a mixture of anger, determination, and a trace of hidden emotion. The Alpha's voice, raw and commanding, resonated within the room, cutting through the silence.
"Find her," he declared firmly, emphasizing each word. "Leave no stone unturned, no shadow unexplored. I want her brought to me." That night he had important things to attend to. But he didn't know a little girl would have such a huge impact on him
"Yes alpha," The assistant, trembling slightly, nodded in understanding and silently vowed to carry out the Alpha's. He knew the fate that awaited those who failed to fulfill his demands.
"Prepare for tonight," the alpha ordered and rose to his feet. His right hand glanced up in confusion.
"Alpha, tonight…it's the full moon…I'm afraid," he started, not sure how to say it. The Alpha's gaze shifted to the window, night was approaching. The distant howling of wolves reminded him of what was approaching.
"Be on the lookout," he said sternly and his right hand retreated from the study..as the room remained quiet. Angel slowly reached for his chest.
"Damn it," he let out curses as he sat down, he wanted that girl at all costs. His wolf was getting restless. He wanted her to devour her and take her. This was strange.
Elina)“Elina, what are the stakes for,” Hazel whispered, trying certainly to lower her voice. I was busy stuffing more stakes in my backpack to mind her.“Vampires, you are in the vampire's territory…what do you think,” I said sarcastically and finished packing, I straightened up and looked at Hazel. She was sweating out of fear, but Violet was cool about it.“I…but, I can't kill” Hazel stammered, nearly shouting when Violet placed her hand on her mouth.“Keep your mouth shut,” Violet muttered through gritted teeth. I was wrong, Hazel was a cat.“Come this way and be careful not to draw attention,” I said and made my way down the dark passageway. We entered through a secret entrance, how I found it I didn't know. Even Violet was surprised how I knew there was a secret entrance. But we walked down the dark passageway until we came to an open space.“How can it be so creepy, I feel bugs crawling on my skin,” Hazel whispered and faked a shiver, indeed the place was horrible? How come th
Elina)“Are you certain…it's all the same?” I asked while checking the so-called different spices, I always wondered why Angel was so interested in restaurants. He wasn't needed, the last time I came here. They told me he was in the kitchen preparing for the food critic.“It's different, see the color… it might look the same but the taste and color are quite different,” the head chef said politely. I had to say she was a nice lady, I took a little between my fingers and rubbed it between my fingers before tasting it. It was sweet and tasted very delightful.“Wow, can we make sauce from this…it's perfect,” I tasted more, it was delightful? The lady saw what I was doing and chuckled“Yes, it can, in mustard, and it will taste even more delicious,” the lady said and showed me more ingredients to mix. I was pleased to learn a few cooking tips. I wanted to take interest in whatever the king did.I came to the restaurant to see him. However, I was told he had a few guests, and they were hav
(Elina)I left granny's room to find my earring, however, other than that, I found Florence outside the room. The state I found her in was quite frightening."Did you burn yourself," I asked and reached for her hand when she withdrew it from sight? She was sweating so much as if she was going through pain."Elina, why don't you go back inside…" Florence said, sounding irritated and was about to walk away when I held her back. I wanted to see her hand. The burn didn't look ordinary."Let me see it, who hurt you.. did you burn yourself in the kitchen?" I asked while attempting to get hold of her arm. It was impossible when the lady kept shoving me away. She seemed furious which I failed to understand."That's enough Elina…stop meddling in my affairs!" She made a low yell and pushed me away before I could see and hurried down the passageway. I didn't want to follow her despite how curious I was. I watched her retreating form until she disappeared down the hallway.I didn't waste time but
Elina woke to the morning sunshine and the cool breeze caressing her exposed legs. She stretched a little, enjoying the sensual feel of the sheets against her naked body. A low yawn left her parted lips as she rubbed her eyes a little. She patted the bed and found the side cold. She was aching everywhere. Her messy hair slightly fell over her face, but she brushed it aside.She opened her eyes instantly only to look around and stopped when she saw Angel. He was sitting in a chair near the window, reading a book and wearing just his shorts. The bright sunlight shone on his body, making him glow beautifully.It was a beautiful sight to see, with his slightly long hair and his eyes fixed on the book. He looked bewitching.Elina prompted on one elbow, the sheets falling away exposing her breasts when suddenly. Angel turned to look and caught her about to lower down and get the sheets.“Good morning,” he greeted her in a low tone.“G-good morning,” she replied to his greeting a little awkw
(Elina)It was an exhausting day, I came back and went straight to my room…we were back in the werewolf world.“My lady, do you need anything?” The servant girl said once I walked into the room. I only shook my head and stripped off the coat.“Leave” I waved her off and proceeded to the closet to get something to wear after a hot shower.“What?” I opened the closet and I didn't find any of my clothes, I glanced back and found the girl still rooted in one place, “did anyone remove my clothes or something?” I asked her, she flinched and lowered her head even more, as if she feared me.“M-my lady the queen gave instructions to…to take the clothes to the King's room,” the girl stammered nervously, hearing the king, I didn't know what to do. The servant girl left, and I decided to get my clothes from the King's room. Why would the queen do that? I was aware of just how much that king hated me.I left my room and went straight to the alpha's room. How on earth was I to sleep in his room whe
Elina was angry, after hearing the king and queen Melissa discussing. Hearing him say he would reject her, scared Elina. "It's terrible, how can he do that…" Hazel was furious and she joined in ad began pacing, Elina stopped and shifted her gaze to Violet sitting in the bed surrounded by books about werewolves. "Well, it's legal alright…here it says the werewolf male is allowed to reject his mate if he doesn't like her," Violet read through one of those books. Hazel and I scooped closer to her so we could hear what the books said about an alpha rejecting his mate. "What sort of ridiculous thing is that," Hazel lashed out and snatched the book from Violet. By now my palms were itching and scratching them felt painful. My mind was in reels. "He has to declare it publicly, in front of the entire werewolf clan," Violet added and showed me another book. How do things come to this, in the past I would have danced the entire night hearing this. But for some reason, I felt cold all over. My h
