Vennesa's Pov
There was a loud knock on the door and I jolted from my shabby bed, from my sleep.
My head whipped to look at the window and then I realized the sun had set and I had been sleeping for hours.
How long have I been in bed? I thought to myself, I remembered I couldn't sleep early last night due to overthinking. Yes, I have been in such a mood for days now, and it has some how become a habit to me. I can never go to bed without having some thing to think about.
The knock resounded again and I realized that some one was outside the door.
"Who is that?" I asked sleepily.
"My Lady." My maid called from the outside. "His majesty has requested to see you." She informed me.
I was so excited that His Majesty, my Alpha, has decided to see me. It's been long since he requested to see me. I would say, we hardly had the time to meet in person and have a couple's conversation. I mean, we never.
I stood up from my couch, adjusting my gown. This was a perfect moment, and that isn't the most exciting part of it, we will be having dinner together.
"Give me a second." I said, walking to the window to look at myself. I restyled my hair in the best way I could. I know I am beautiful, but not as beautiful as today. I had gone extra miles for tonight. I felt maybe why he hasn't been giving me a face is because I haven't been appearing nice and catchy to him. But I promised myself that tonight will be different.
I walked out of my room. "Lead the way." I said and we started to go to the dining room.
We got to the dining room. For the first time since today, I was putting on the best smile on my face. I was looking more like a desperate chick, expecting to hear the most exciting things from her boyfriend.
I elegantly walked to one of the chairs to get myself comfortable. "Good evening, Your Majesty." I greeted, but his facial expression told me that he wasn't interested in my greeting.
"Don't even dare to do that." He warns me.
I was surprised at his countenance, had some thing gone wrong already? Why would he say such a thing to me? Why would he refuse to let me have a seat?
"Kneel down." He commanded.
Alpha Rogan hasn't been on good terms with me since day one, but I never cared about it. I was very interested in the mating bond I felt for him, and I knew that one day he would understand who I am to him.
"Are you deaf?" He growled. "I said kneel!" He repeated.
I was embarrassed of myself. He was going to make me kneel down before the maids, he was actually going to intimidate me right in front of them? I fell on my knees without hesitating or he gets more angry than he already is.
"I wanna believe you aren't here for a different mission, Miss Bryant." He said, and I honestly can't tell why he was telling me that. “Do you think that I have an interest in feeding a wretch like you for life?”
First, I never asked for him in my life, my wicked and heartless father did so. Not getting pregnant isn't my fault either, if there's any one to blame then it's the moon goddess.
"It's not my fault I ain't pregnant." I tried to defend myself but he sparked at me.
"Whose fault is it then?" He questioned.
"I don't know. Maybe you should ask the moon goddess for an answer." I said in a low tone but loud enough for him to hear.
"How dare you talk to me in that manner?!" He barked. "I need a son and you dared me to question the moon goddess? Are you insane?"
His temper was raging, and I couldn't bear the heat because I knew what his next move would be if I said any thing further. I kept quiet, letting him do the talking while I just remained silent.
"I don't care whatever games you are playing, but just get this at the back of your head, you aren't gonna win. You have only one week to find out what the fuck is wrong with your womb or you'll have to explain it in a different way!"
He was breathing heavily from yelling. I didn't say a word to him, my face was buried to the ground. "Fuck!" He cursed, throwing the ceramic plates at me.
I shut my eyes so that the pieces won't touch my eyes. "Fuck!" He screamed again. I looked at him to know why he had screamed. I thought maybe he was hurt, so I stood up, reaching for him.
"Are you alright?" I asked concerned, taking his hand to examine if he was injured, but he took it off.
I understand how much he hated me, I understand how much he wanted me out of his life. From the start, I knew the only reason why he still had me under his custody is because of his contract with my step-father.
Regardless of all these, I still loved him. I believe that no matter how tough he plays on me, that one day he will realize the truth. I hope he'll understand how much he means to me.
I hated to see him get angry, I hated to watch him in such a mood. It hurts me. It makes me feel guilty. If only I got pregnant for him, none of this would happen. He wouldn't get this angry at me, or even yell at me in the first place.
"Leave us." He dismissed the maids, leaving just the two of us in the room. "I have talked to the physician about this, he has promised to prepare some herbs for you to drink."
Why would he want me to take herbs? I have heard from a few medical reports that taking drugs was dangerous for the womb. Maybe I'll have to sneak out one of these days to meet with my doctor, she'll explain better to me.
"After you drink it, don't hesitate to come to my room tonight." He said.
I nodded numbly at him, what can I say? "You can leave now." He said emotionlessly to me.
I left the room. My heart was bleeding in pain, I never expected this night would turn out this way. I wanted some thing else, I wanted a nice dinner and a long romantic conversation. But no, I never saw it coming. Rather, I got the opposite.
I returned back to my room, wondering when every thing would turn out good and how my life would eventually get better even though I still had this doubt in me that tells me that it was very impossible.
Well, sitting my ass here and thinking about this whole shits won't do me any good, so I'd rather just get things over with and work on getting my belly swollen. I mean, what do you expect? He is the Alpha.
Chapter 14Alpha Kristen's POVThe boring meeting with the council finally came to an end. It was the worst one I had ever gone to. The head of the council was worried about nothing very serious in particular. Just a couple of hearsays here and there. Old people's ears were always sharp to catch rumors.As the council dismissed, I called back Don De la Vega."My Alpha," he said with a deep bow."De la Vega. You made some very good points during the meeting."De la Vega smiled. "I thank you for your kind words, Alpha Kristen, but I'm very sure that you, My Lord, were not paying much attention. I know that you hate when the council calls for a meeting. So I guess it is safe to presume that there is something else that you would like to talk to me about."I smiled back at De la Vega."You know me too well. Yes there is something I'd like to discuss with you. Do have a seat."We sat back down at the round table and De la Vega looked at me seriously. Anytime there was something to discuss
Chapter 13Alpha Rogan's POVCouncilor André got up from the ground and looked me in the eyes. His mouth was bloody and as he tried to stand straight, he groaned in pain. He looked at the other councilors and they looked at him, their eyes telling him not to say a word. He ignored them and turned to me again."Long ago, when I was young, I hadn't found my mate. I was destined to not find anyone as a mate. I explored the ancient Lycan archive's and discovered a way to by-pass the will of the Moon-Goddess and get any mate of my choice."I looked at Councilor André with suspicious eyes. No one could change the will of the Goddess."You are a fool to think you can bend the will of the Goddess!" I roared angrily."Then my folly paid off," he said with a smile. "I found an old legend telling of a mystical pool hidden deep in the Southern mountains. All you need to do is take the lady that you wish to be mated to and both of you are to bathe in the pool under the light of the full moon. I wa
Alpha Rogan's POVIt has been almost five days since Venessa disappeared. I was in my throne room sulking. Belinda had tried to come to talk to me but I pushed her away. I didn't want to talk to anyone at the moment. The maids and servants had come to beg me to eat but I dismissed all of them. I was in a right horrible mess. As I sat down, my mind drifted back to when Venessa was first brought to me by her father. She was a beauty. I had bought her as she was a virgin and I was told that only a virgin could give me an heir as I had long searched for my mate and couldn't find her.The first night I had her, she cried out as I broke through her. She was in pain but I didn't stop. I was filled with desire and a longing: a longing for a child.She didn't take in immediately however and I began to hate the more. After a few more attempts, I was convinced that it was all futile and she was just a waste of my money and space. My heart began to break as I remembered how badly I had treated
Venessa's POVI walked back to my room. Breakfast was better than I had expected. I entered my room and closed the door. I leaned on the door and sighed; I was finally going to get to my life together for me and my baby. I rubbed my tummy slowly and lovingly. My baby was going to get spoiled with so much love and care and...Wait! I didn't have a name for my baby! Well, if it was a girl, I was going to call her Aurora but if it was a boy, I would call him, Kevin maybe. I still had plenty of time to workshop the names. My stomach hadn't grown significantly and I wasn't feeling whoozy or nauseous at all. I walked to my bed and gently sat on it as I admired the room I was given. My mind soon began to wonder. Who was this Don De la Vega? Was he nice? Was he as handsome as Kristen? I hadn't even asked for additional information. I had hurriedly said yes and accepted the offer because I had been assured of payment and place to stay.What if I had been to hasty and this Don De la Vega man w
Alpha Kristen's POVI hurriedly had my bath and proceeded to the dinning room for breakfast. I didn't want my 'guest' to be the one waiting for me. It was 9:30am when I got to the dinning table and as I sat down, my eyes locked with a beautiful figure."Nice of you to come so early, Alpha Kristen."It was Venessa. By some kind of magic, she had come so early to the table. I was pleasantly surprised and smiled. The servants brought the food and soon we began to eat. I stole glances at her as we ate in silence. She wasn't a dainty eater but she didn't eat like a pig either. Her bites were lady-like and she ate to her fill."Were you royalty by some chance?" I asked as we ate in silence. She looked at me and put her fork and knife down. Before she spoke, she swallowed the food that was in her mouth."I was told, it was rude to talk while eating."I couldn't help but smile at her humour and sarcasm. I wasn't in the least, bit offended by it.Soon breakfast was over and the plates were cle
Venessa's POVI looked at the handsome Alpha as he introduced himself. He had beautiful eyes."Well Alpha Kristen, I am Venessa. Venessa Bryant.He looked at me and proceeded to walk around me slowly. "Why are you here?""I told you my name, didn't I? Isn't that enough for you?"He exhaled in frustration. I was really giving him a tough time. "Need I remind you that you are in my territory."I exhaled. He was right. I was kind of trespassing but I was still angry about the whole being 'thrown in jail' thing."I left my pack to search for greener pastures.""So the pastures in your pack aren't green enough?" he said with a smirk.Was he trying to mock me?"I had been abused so left my pack to escape fromy abuser and find my feet somewhere else and start afresh."He stopped circling me."What pack are you from?"I looked at him angrily."I've told you the most important parts of what I need to tell you. What pack I am from should not be of any concern to you."He looked at me but I wa
