**ALPHA Duncan’s POV**
There was something different about her, I could feel it, even my wolf could feel it.
Her scent that filled my nostrils didn't make me nauseous even though she only sprayed very light perfume. She was Beatrice Hakket, the only daughter of the late Alpha Hakket. I knew them but why did I feel like I just opened a veil?
Why did my wolf act as if it heard something different, especially when she jumped on my lap? Why?
Her overtime breath hit my face. I devoured her lips more wildly. I was thirsty and I wanted to be relieved. Only her lips could do that and I busied myself with them.
She squirmed while embracing me awkwardly. I let go of our kiss and saw her looking at me disappointed.
"What do you expect?" I asked in a deep voice.
She lowered her head and didn't answer anything while mumbling on her lips, those juicy lips.
"Do you want to be released?" I asked again, seeing her nod. “Then do your duty properly!”
She grabbed my face and brought us an intimate kiss back. This time she didn't limit herself like before. I realized that she really wanted to be released and I wasn't surprised by that. I liked how our tongues were fighting for domination, I liked how she wasn't backing down.
She must have been frightened by my whole being, especially with all the bad treatment she got from the maids.
I tore her clothes and shadowed her with my huge body. I sank my face between her cleavage, biting and kissing before I pushed myself into her, not caring if she was ready.
She screamed.
"Does it hurt?" I asked burningly. Hearing the sound of her howling in this room seemed to tickle my arousal even more. She was the first girl who could do this to me. She could revive me more than I expected.
More than she even knew
She nodded but didn't protest.
This time I was moving and slamming myself inside her slit, tearing her virginity, and increasing my pace.
I'd never been in such a hurry to do it. Not because I wanted to finish all of this, but because I couldn't control myself any longer. Who was she? And why could she drive me crazy like this?
No! I brought her to give me a son. After that, we would part for our good.
“Alpha!” she called me sensually. Her teary eyes looked at me in adoration. Her lips curved but vibrated helplessly as I continued with her nonstop making her shiver in satisfaction.
She hugged me very tightly when she flew me with her steam. Gasping, she smiled with a relieved expression.
My wolf barked inside me wanting more. “She smells so good. We can't stop here!”
I wanted more too, I wanted to fuck her until she loses all of her senses
But I decided to master myself. “This is just a business relationship. We need a son so that the curse on our bodies will disappear. Be kind and get our business done quickly!”
She looked at me with a shy face. The change in her expression made my stomach tickle. A second later that expression changed to one of fear as I snapped at her, “Go away!”
She was shocked and grabbed all of her clothes, put them on in a hurry then ran out of my room.
I slumped on the bed, grinding my teeth. Her face flashed in my head and I didn't know why.
"Was she truly my mate?" asked my wolf unreasonably.
"Impossible. It's just hormones," I snapped angrily.
**Beatrice POV**
My feet tripped and I fell on the floor. Why could Alpha Duncan change drastically like that? Wasn't he enjoying it as much as I was? He moaned and even called my name as if he was crazy about me.
I almost thought that we had become the perfect mate. I thought he would mark me when we spent our first night. But it turned out to be wrong. He kicked me out after sleeping with me. Was I completely insignificant in his eyes?
My body slumped on the bed and thought about all this. My happiness when he filled me was now scattered. I was not sure this would go well and who would guarantee that I wouldn't be killed if I failed to bear him a son?
Then I had an idea. My body was shocked and I sat up straight.
Silence, I thought about it for quite a while. And finally, I was convinced by the idea. "I have to do it!" I said while clenching my fists.
The next day I woke up early to cook in the kitchen. The maids here bullied me but I tried to ignore them.
A delicious dish was made and I served it to Alpha Duncan.
At first, I thought he would be happy and impressed with what I did now, but he snapped at me very rudely.
"What are you doing?" His face was suddenly darker than usual. His aura was like that of a demon.
I was having a hard time talking. “I-I cooked for you, Alpha.”
“Have you forgotten your duty here?” He banged on the table and threw all the dishes that I had painstakingly served him.
I was too shocked so I screamed. He got up with emotion and then pushed my body until it hit the wall. Cruel, he almost punched me.
His fist hit the wall beside me, shattering the surface of the wall.
I cried because I was too shocked. Besides, I was really scared of him right now.
“I warned you not to cross the line. If not then I will kill you!” He almost passed because he had no appetite anymore.
I screamed because I was too annoyed and disappointed. “Can you appreciate my efforts? I'm trying to get close to you!”
"Close to me?" He just strangled my neck. "I don't care about insignificant things." Then he pushed me and released my neck.
I coughed while rubbing my hot neck. "Do you think I could get pregnant if you treat me this badly?" I winced when I saw him glaring. My courage was not as big as his terrifying aura. But I was smart enough to survive the pressure because that was how I grew up all this time. “Treat me well! Otherwise, then I won't get pregnant!”
He sneered and looked away. But a second later he pulled my face and kissed my lips again.
I stared and found his hands on my hips.
He groaned as I froze. "Isn't this what you want? Then why don't you welcome me?"
I smiled, as the sun showered me with its warmth. We struggled with our intentions, fell, and drowned in a very sweet romance.
I was sure I could get Alpha Duncan's heart. He would mark me and we would live happily ever after.
One particularly warm evening, we spent the night together. I didn't limit myself anymore because he already treated me better. He noticed even the smallest detail about me, making me drunk and believe he was in love with me.
Oh, finally my life has found happiness, especially when I feel this uncomfortable feeling in my stomach.
He stroked my hair and kissed my head before leaving. He smiled and said, "You're doing great, Bea."
His back was away as he exited my room. My face sank into the pillow and my feet hit the bed repeatedly.
But then my stomach turned. I jumped into the sink, finding myself vomiting over and over again.
I thought I got a disease in my stomach. But after doing a quick pregnancy check, I learned a fact that made me happiest.
"I am pregnant!" I jumped while hugging the test pack tightly.

**Beatrice POV**I was pregnant! Finally! It was time to tell Alpha Duncan this! I wondered what his reaction would be.I held the test pack tightly. When the Omegas told me to do something, I threw my hands on my hips in annoyance. It was time to pay back their bad treatment!"I don't want to do it!" I said. “This is not the task Alpha Duncan gave me!” I didn't care if I sounded like a spoilt brat.They glared and were furious. “Are you trying to fight us, huh?” Then they ganged up on me and even grabbed my hair.Even though I was bad at fighting, fighting the Omegas wasn't that big of a deal. I managed to hit them while teaching them a lesson."I'm the mistress here!" I snapped at them, pleased to see them frightened.That was more like it, I wasn't going to let anyone treat me badly, for any reason.Now I walked with my chin up. Some of the soldiers who saw my transformation were astonished.I knocked on Alpha Ducan's’ study door. Beta Cadence voice came from inside, telling me to
**Beatrice POV**I didn’t believe it. Does Alpha Duncan only recognize me as a tool to give birth to a son?What did I expect? He bought me from a brothel, I was a whoreEven though I really loved him. What? I had always been in love with my mate before I met him, and the idea of having one had always fascinated me. I I did many things to please him. I even periodically turned into an aggressive girl just for him.I remembered dancing in sensual and transparent clothes in front of him. I did it so that our relationship would get closer and we were feeling love grow between us. After all, he was my mate! But after hearing what he thought of me, I couldn't stay in the palace.An Omega suddenly stood right in front of me. She didn't catch me when I almost ran away. She said instead, “Go! I'll pretend I never saw you here. But never come back again! Because if you do you will surely die! Alpha has found a girl on his journey. He will immediately kill you even if you are pregnant with his
**Beatrice POV**Tall and commanding, with a strong aura of authority, it really was Alpha Duncan—the enigmatic and revered leader of the pack I had run from; the Alpha King. My heart skipped a beat.He was as handsome as I remembered… my mate. But when I suddenly recalled the words that made me leave him, my heart clenched in pain.Recalling how I was now the revered Luna of a pack, respected by many and feared by some, I refused to show that part of me. It was part of the past. So, I made a decision—to pretend not to know him, to approach him as a stranger.With a composed demeanor, I stepped forward, my eyes staring back at his and my voice as steady as possible. "Alpha Duncan," I greeted respectfully, with my tone devoid of any familiarity or recognition. "I am Luna Red, representing the Red Pack. My profound pleasure to meet you Alpha."I wasn't expecting him to reply with a prior knowledge of knowing he was never the type to talk a lot so I gently walked over to an empty chair a
**Duncan POV**Meeting Beatrice at Alpha Darrick pack for the peace negotiations wasn't a coincidence. It was carefully mapped out so we could meet again, for me to see her again.I missed her a lot, I didn't negotiate for the loneliness that came with her leaving that day. Her absence had left a void in my life, a profound loneliness that I hadn't anticipated. I yearned for her presence, for the connection we had shared during our brief encounter. The memories of our time together lingered in my mind, and I couldn't help but miss her deeply.When I got news that Alpha Darrick had requested a peace alliance with her pack and she would be going there in person, I suddenly became interested in also having a peace alliance.When she had eventually showed up, I was initially thrilled to see her, I tried desperately to keep my face straight and void of any emotions. I didn't want her to see the depth of my longin
**Alpha Duncan Pov**I didn't reply immediately, I served myself wine from my cabinet before I slowly answered, “Come in, Bea.”The door opened and a young girl of about 18 walked in, she shared a strange bit of resemblance with Beatrice, Luna Red.In the following days after she left, I had been so disturbed, no other woman had me reacting to them the way Beatrice did.I felt lonely and disturbed, I momentarily forgot about my own problems. I dispatched a lot of my pack warriors to find her but there was no sign of her.I personally along side Cadence, my beta looked for her but it was to no avail. It was during that period that I met this girl, she was the same age as Beatrice, there were quite a few facial differences but they looked a lot like each other and what more, they shared the same name.I felt the moon goddess was playing tricks o
**Beatrice Pov**Under the scorching rays of the midday sun, our car sped along the dusty road, a mirage shimmering in the distance. Falon, his amber eyes glistening in the sunlight, gripped the steering wheel with determination. Beside him, I braced myself, the heat of the day intensifying the tension in the air as we journeyed back to our pack.As we continued on our journey, questions swirled within me like a desert sandstorm. My mind slowly replayed everything that had happened at the meeting. I had a lot of questions that I didn't know the answer to but yet I needed to have an answer for.The wind whipped through the open windows, carrying with it the scent of arid earth and distant vegetation. I gently inhaled the air which calmed me down, then I glanced at Falon, his brow furrowed in concentration, his strong hands guiding the car with precision.Feeling a gentle tap on my stomach, I smiled, my heart filled
**Alpha Duncan**I felt a wave of sadness wash over me as I watched her walk away. I knew that she was leaving for her pack. I also knew I had to let her go. I was proud of her for where she had but I also felt a deep sense of loss.I took a deep breath and squared my shoulders, sighing, I slowly turned away, feeling a bit empty inside.My mind was consumed by the image of Beatrice's graceful prowess on the training grounds. Her every movement, every strike and parry, ignited a fire within me, awakening a primal desire I couldn't easily suppress. The raw power she exuded, coupled with her unwavering determination, was a potent aphrodisiac that stirred my senses.As I walked back to the pack, my thoughts swirled with a heady mix of admiration and longing. My body responded to the memory of Beatrice's skill, and an undeniable hardness threatened to betray my desires. I discreetly adjusted himself, hoping to qu
**Alpha Duncan Pov**Red's territory…” the words slowly slid out of my mouth. How did I get here? The man walked in front of me and removed the red mask on his face revealing his real face to me.“Beta Falon, he's an intruder on our…” Damon put up his hand and the leader of the warriors stopped talking. Then he slightly bowed to acknowledge me, “Alpha Duncan, it's a pleasure to have you in our pack.”I was taken aback by the sudden turn of events. Beta Falon, a familiar face and a respected member of Red's pack, also Beatrice mate and the father of her baby stood before me, acknowledging my presence as Alpha Duncan.A wave of sadness struck my bones once more and then anger coursed through my bones. But I had to wave it aside, I couldn't be angry now."Beta Falon," I greeted him with a nod, reciprocating the respect he had shown. "I
