Richard

Two days had passed since Luca had left on his mission, but I still hadn’t heard anything from him. With no news about my illegitimate half-brother, I was getting more anxious by the hour.

My sleep was restless. I kept having terrible thoughts and imagining worst-case scenarios. The most frightening was picturing my half-brother taking over my position as Alpha King. It had become a nightmare, haunting both my dreams and my waking hours.

The anxiety was eating me alive, and these two days felt like forever. I needed to know where he was so I could deal with him once and for all. Only then would these disturbing thoughts stop tormenting me.

But there was nothing I could do except wait, even though the waiting was slowly driving me crazy.

“Eat up!” I grunted, holding out a forkful of noodles to her face. It was Jane. I wasn’t much of a cook, but I had prepared noodles and now I was feeding her.

She was tied to a chair; her mouth was gagged, though I rolled down the piece of clot

    JaneIt had been a long while since I had last felt any bit of happiness. Ever since the Alpha King had separated me from my mate, I had known nothing but sorrow and tears.My heart would race with fear every time I thought that Vishal might be dead. I never stopped praying for him. I begged the moon goddess to keep him safe every single day.Through all the torture and abuse that I had been subjected to by the Alpha King, through all the pain I had had to endure, I never stopped praying for the safety of my Vishal even for a second.He was all I thought about, all I dreamt of, and when I heard he was coming for me, my heartbeat kick-started.I was so happy to know he was alive and back with his pack. My Vishal was alive! This gave me hope when I had had none left.I could already imagine being in his arms again. I just didn’t know it would happen so soon.Hearing his voice then felt like a dream. Even though I couldn’t see his face yet, I knew it was him.It was my Vi. He was here! T

    RichardThe news I had just heard sent me into a panic. I couldn’t believe that Vishal was still alive and had made it back to his pack safely. I had imagined him dead in the forest somewhere.I never thought he would be smart enough to escape my warriors and return home alive.But that wasn’t even the biggest problem right now. Luca had just told me that Vishal had discovered my location. It seemed impossible - how could he have found out about this secret island?How did he learn about it? This was very bad news. I needed to act quickly, but first, I had to understand how he had discovered this hidden place.I walked back and forth, feeling worried and unable to calm down.“How did he find out about this island?” I asked impatiently. I needed a reasonable explanation.“I’m not completely sure, but I think your Beta helped him. Vishal and your Beta seem to have formed some kind of partnership,” Luca explained.That foolish Ray! I knew it had to be him. He was the only person close en

    VishalI had dinner with Karen, Alpha Tommy, Scott, my parents, Ella, and Ray. They all came over to the pack house, and we shared a table. It was a good bonding time, and the only way I could reassure them that I was fine.Karen insisted on calling Ray and Ella, even though I’d told her over and over again there was no need.The moment they got her message, they left their home and rushed down here. Ella wouldn’t stop fussing over me, asking again and again if I was really okay.Mother cried a lot too after seeing my wounds and scars; it was almost impossible to get her to quiet down.All through the dinner, she didn’t stop glancing at me, spoon-feeding me, or asking me if any part of my body was hurting. It was kind of cringy, but then, that’s mothers and their unending doting on their children, no matter how grown we are.Soon, the dinner was over, and Mother offered to clear the table alongside Karen. Father was seated and discussing a few things with the former alpha, Alpha Tommy

    JaneI woke only minutes ago, still lying naked on the bed, my legs spread wide. The Alpha King wasn’t beside me, and that alone was a heavy breath of relief. Forcing myself up, I dragged my weak body toward the bathroom.I forced a quick shower, scrubbing like I could wash him off my skin, whispering prayers that he wouldn’t crash in and take me again.In the mirror, the bruise on my cheek stared back like a brand; I pressed my palms to my face and sobbed.How long must I live under this monster? How long must I pawn my body to him, let him break me however he pleases?My whole body would soon be covered in bruises, marks, and scars. What if he kills me sooner, or burns a part of my body?The Alpha King is a damned maniac, and there’s no saying what his crazy self can do at any point in time. Fighting him wasn’t doing the trick anymore, especially now that he had weakened my strength with his elixir.I can’t even punch him if I was given the chance; I feel completely drained and usel

    RichardTen years ago, everything changed. That was when I embraced the darkness, when the world gave me one name—“ruthless”—and I made it my creed.I was born into the Alpha bloodline; my Father was the ruling Alpha, but age and illness had hollowed him out, and his death loomed like a shadow over the pack.Lying on his sick bed, it was only going to be a matter of days before the Alpha ceremony was held.There, the new Alpha would be crowned and Father would give his blessings to his successor. The whole pack would swear allegiance to the new Alpha and it would be the dawn of a new era.Now, if there was one thing I hated about being the son of my Father, it was the fact that I had eight brothers. I wasn’t even the first son; I was the fourth, so I was in no way next to be the Alpha of our pack.My oldest brother was technically next in line to the Alpha position, and after him his sons would be next in line, and then his sons’ sons.My descendants and I would never get the chance t
