The members of Alpha Marcus’s pack always thinks she was the privileged daughter of the Alpha, hence they do not hesitate to bully her...if only they knew.
She stopped going to the pack house entirely, much to the pleasure of Marcus. He called it “a wise decision”.But it was really because she hated how they made wild assumptions of how she was being treated in his house. It was difficult when she’s forced to endure the most intense kind of pain while everyone thought she was in paradise. She overheard him the other night discussing the visit of the king and with the way he sounded, it seemed to be a big deal.Alpha doesn’t easily get phased by anyone or anything but hearing the slight anxiety in his tone when he spoke of the King had her taken aback. Hannah knew nothing about the king because Alpha Marcus made sure she didn’t go to school or associate with anyone, not even to learn basic wolf history.He only wanted her to know what he tells her and nothing more. Her memories of the lessons she got when she was much younger were faint and all over the place. She remembers her family but doesn’t remember anything about her pack. Alpha Marcus told her, he found her among the ruins from her destroyed pack. The Alpha left with Luna Kristin to the Pack house where he’ll be welcoming the king after leaving behind a stern warning for her not to step out of the house. He used to lock her in while going out in the past, but he now believed she was tamed enough not to go against his orders. When she was sure he had left, she slowly descended down the stairs and made her way to the sitting room. Since no one was home, she thought she could be free to at-least eat what she likes. She smelled the cookies Luna Kristin baked last night and proceeded to trace it till she found it at the top of the dining table. It tasted divine and soon enough, she was lost in bliss. Hannah was about munching her 12th cookie when the hairs at the back of her neck stood at full attention. Goosebumps lined her arms and she trembled from the effects of something she could not yet identify. It was so strong and compelling that the cookie in her hands fell as she hastily began to make her way towards the door. It was like a force had taken possession of her body and mind. She forcefully unlocked the back door and went out. A smell wafted through her nostrils and she felt a strong urge to find the source of the smell.It was coming from the direction of a stream not too far from Alpha Marcus’s house.She knew about the stream because the Luna had taken her there a few times, without Marcus knowing of course. Even barefooted, she didn’t mind the stones and pebbles scabbing and piercing her foot. She tripped a few times but that didn’t stop her. As she got closer to the stream, the scent even became stronger, completely engulfing her senses. It smelled of cinnamon mixed cologne, a perfect combination.But her legs abruptly stopped when she also felt the presence of so many people at the clearing. The aura of one of the people there was so strong and imposing, she almost bent her neck out in submission from the force of the man’s presence. “What are you doing here?” An unfamiliar voice boomed from somewhere behind her. She recoiled in fear and almost retracted back into her shell. “ i asked you a question Pup, state your purpose for being here” the man said again and she felt him draw closer to her. Her legs began to step backwards, while dread covered her body. Hannah was in tears even without the man touching her. She knew it was only going to be a matter of time before the man hit her. She deeply regretted coming outside, Alpha Marcus had been right afterall...she invites trouble anywhere she goes. “Lukas don’t frighten the young girl” a much more authoritative voice spoke up and she realized he was the one with that powerful aura. The same person who her wolf was going insane at the hearing of his voice. “Your majesty but —” “She’s just a kid, loosen up. Now little girl come forward, i want to see you” he demanded and her legs began to involuntary move towards him. The more she drew closer, the more her heartbeat increased as if trying to jump out of her chest. She heard the man suck in a long breath before he briskly covered the remaining distance between them. She felt his body warmth even without having to touch him which not only confused her but also overwhelmed her senses. “This is impossible...she is—you are...oh goddess” he was stuttering in disbelief and Hannah assumed the worst. She fell to her knees immediately and she heard countless footsteps advance towards her. Her hands grabbed on tightly onto his trousers. “I’m so sorry! I shouldn’t have been here. I know I’ve ruined everything but please forgive me” she was sobbing silently. The warriors looked on in bewilderment and confusion, they wondered what was wrong. “Your majesty, give us the permission to remove her from your presence” the man called Luka said with determination. The king elicited a deep growl which had the man shocked and stepping backwards. “Don’t come close to her, don’t even dare to touch what’s mine!” Silence ensued and once he was sure nobody would hurt his mate, he proceeded to carry her bridal style and began walking towards a car parked a little distance from there. Hannah was still sobbing because to her she had made a grave mistake that may even lead to her death.After a few minutes of nothing happening, Hannah raised her head to realize they were on a moving vehicle. She was sitting on the laps of the man who she came to know as the King. Hannah asked hesitantly asked where he was taking her and he quickly answered they were headed to the Pack house.It took her a minute to remember that Alpha Marcus was at that same pack house and her throat clogged up. “Please no, don’t take me to him. Let me go home, let me go” she was thrashing all over the place while the King was trying to calm her. “I’m here little one, nobody will dare to touch you” he tried again but it all fell on dead ears. He wondered who could have given her such trauma and fear. He felt perplexed watching his mate break down right infront of him. “Your majesty, i think she lives with Alpha Marcus and his Luna. Although they don’t seem to be related in anyway” Lukas spoke after some time. “Marcus Lived with my mate?” King Casper asked while his forehead creased slightly “
The king told Hannah that Alpha Marcus will no longer trouble her ever again. She initially refused to believe him, not until Luna Kristin confirmed to her that Marcus was indeed dead. She didn’t even know how to process the news in fact she was lost in her thoughts not knowing how to feel or react. But she didn’t get the time to think of anything else because the king took her back with him to the palace. She insisted Luna Kristin must go with her and he readily agreed once he was sure she played no part in her abuse. They got to the pack and Kristin hugged her once before she was escorted to a different section to start afresh. Hannah was hesitant and scared of everything and everyone. She only clung to him like he was the air she breaths and while he welcome her touch, he knew it was her past trauma at work. She was placed in a room on his wing not too far from his room. It took a lot of convincing for her to let him go, so she could wash up. Casper was the king of the enti
He least expected to meet his brother again, especially not under this current situation.If Damian was here then there’s bound to be trouble since his older brother held a grudge against him, one far too deep for any kind of reconciliation in sight.By the laws of the royal selection, the position of king is not dependent on age hierarchy but on the most suitable for the job.Damian had been the best brother anyone could ask for, always teaching him new techniques and showing him battle tactics at all times whenever he learns anything new. They were inseparable, not until it became news that the sons of the king would have to fight each other in a Duel to see who emerges the winner.It was pretty much clear who would succeed because his older brother was a far much experienced fighter than he could ever be.He agreed to go easy on Casper but something happened during the fight. Damian went against his promise and began brutalizing his younger brother much to the horror of the counci
As Eva led her into a foyer where she could feel the presence of many people. Her hands tightened in reflex since she doesn’t necessarily fare well with much attention. “Hi guys, meet the new girl. Her name is Hannah and she’ll be joining our pack by the orders of the alpha...but just to add, she’s not exactly like us. Hannah is blind” she introduced in a solemn tone. Hannah winced because she knew exactly what is to follow next, they would laugh at her and then proceed to mock her for it. She waited but the opposite happened. “Man she’s hot!” a male wolf whistled in appreciation breaking the silence. “They don’t make em like this anymore” the guy continued and a sound resounded in the room, like someone had been punched. Hannah who was obviously frightened withdraws to the back of Eva. “Ouch why did you do that for Camille?” It was the guy again. “How many times will i warn you not to flirt with the newbies huh? I swear to God i hate being related to you” This time it was the
(EMMA BRAXTON) She was almost at wits end on what to do about Casper. It’s been a week since he dropped that heartbreaking news about finding his chosen mate, regardless of all I’ve been through to get here. It’s been pure torture having to pretend to her friends since they were yet to make an official announcement about the broken engagement. The very thought of life without Casper felt like someone had dipped a hand into her chest and ripped the bloody thing out. Emma had loved him since she was barely a teen and made sure to stick with him through all the phases of his life until now. He was very clear on their boundaries and made sure she never crossed them. She’s tried every tricks in the books, from seduction to flirting, to being a reliable warrior but Casper just doesn’t see her. one would imagine her joy when he picked her to become his chosen mate and queen only for him to rip that same joy away, like her feelings were nothing…she didn’t matter.“Please honey, come down
He barely noticed when the enraged she wolf left the balcony in a speed of light. All Casper could see was the dainty beauty lost in the fragrance of the roses, completely oblivious of the world around her nor the man looking down at her with love.His heart couldn’t decipher how his able to feel so much emotions towards someone he just met. He concluded that the mate bond was surely a miracle on its own.As if she noticed him starring, her eyes went up to the direction of the balcony. He felt fluttered and would have crouched down till he realized she couldn’t have seen him.From where he stood, Casper could tell apart the different color hues that make up her eyes. It was a mix of color variations that formed the perfect blend of bluish silver he’d ever seen. Simply put, she sparkled…and she was all his.It was a fact that had his wolf letting out a deep growl of possessiveness.He could have stood there longer but he had a lot on his plate to take care of. So he had to entrust some
Hannah couldn’t believe her ears after overhearing the king openly deny her before those men.She had simply been on her way to use the toilet when she was drawn by the conversation taking place in the office.Tears were threatening to spill and her heart felt like it was being squeezed tightly. She was sure he had claimed to be her mate back then at eclipse pack, and had even felt the shocks too, so why was he lying?...And like a light bulb the answer came to her. He was simply ashamed of her apparent disability hence the reason he wouldn’t want to be linked to her in anyway.The door knob made a sound and Hannah frantically began to try to escape. It would be considered very rude to be caught eavesdropping on the king’s conversations, but she was too late for obvious reasons.“Now what do we have here” a familiar voice sneered at her.She could remember it was the same girl she had bumped into earlier in the day and from the tone of her voice, it wasn’t going to end well for her.
As the group of old men kept on badgering her with questions that broke her bits by bits, Hannah could do nothing but stand there and listen to them.It was like a well calculated witch hunt but she hadn’t made any enemy since she got there.She could only wish for them to stop and move on to other things.Casper knew his mate was barely trying to stand. Others couldn’t see but he noticed even the tiniest details of her vulnerability, from the trembling legs to the way the hair on her hands stood at attention. It would only be a matter of time before she succumbs to their pressure.“I do not see the need to keep haggling the pitiful girl. She’s not my mate and the goddess wouldn’t even make such mistake to begin with...”“I agree with your highness but i still feel uncomfortable having her in the palace. Why don’t we send her off to the disability home overseas...she would most likely be able to adapt there with people of similar attributes...”A burly man called Winston suggested an
