Alpha Lane was not happy with the way Alpha Abel and Adriana were getting close so he decided to do something about it; he met with a group of rogues in a place known as the Black Gate where all sorts of mercenaries, black market dealers and so on usually hang out. So the air was filled with tension, but Alpha Lane was still the biggest and most feared wolf here. His piercing gaze swept over the crew, their loyalty for sale to the highest bidder evident in their wary eyes."I've got a job for you," Alpha Lane's voice cut through the silence, his tone as cold as the night air. "Alpha Carmen's pack, especially Alpha Abel, has been a thorn in my side for too long. I want them gone."The leader of the rogues, a grizzled figure named Riven, nodded knowingly. "What's the catch?""The only catch is that you would have to go up against two Alpha's" Lane said as he brought out a bag of coins, "this is 100 gold coins, the first half of the payment, you will get the other 100 later when you co
"How do you know?" Adriana asked as she stared back at him, her fear evident in her eyes "Carmen just mindlinked me" Alpha Abel replied as he moved Adriana off his leg and stood to his feet, "I'm sorry I have to leave but I need to protect the pack""I'm coming with you" Adriana said but Alpha Abel wasn't having it"I can't risk your safety," Alpha Abel asserted, his gaze unwavering. "It's too dangerous, and I need you to stay here and stay safe."Adriana's determination clashed with Alpha Abel's protective nature. "I can help, Abel. I won't be a burden."Alpha Abel sighed, his expression softening. "Adriana, I know you can help, but this threat is formidable. I can't bear the thought of anything happening to you."She placed a hand on his arm, pleading with her eyes. "I can't just stay behind, not knowing if you'll make it back."He gently touched her cheek, a mixture of affection and concern in his eyes. "I promise, I'll do everything in my power to come back to you. But for now, t
In the living chambers of the harem, whispers fluttered around as the ladies gathered around Rebecca, their gazes scrutinizing her every move. The air was thick with the scent of exotic perfumes and incense "Hmm, what brought you here today? I thought you were too big for us, " one of the girls asked as they stared at Rebecca "I'm here to see my friend," Rebecca said as she stared at the ladies with disdain. "Well, I don't think she wants to see you," the other girl said "Mind your business and tell me where she is," Rebecca snapped as a smile formed on her face But before she could say anything else, Rebecca's friend Leia walked into the room. Her gaze fell on Rebecca's as a small frown formed on her face, "What are you doing here?" She asked "I'm here to see you. We have a lot much to catch up on," Rebecca said "Seriously, Rebecca? After ignoring me for days, after not telling me you were pregnant, I was your friend, but I was the last one to find out, " Leia said, her tone a
In the throne room of the palace, Rebecca and the other Harem girls were currently waiting for Alpha Tristan to arrive. They had all been summoned with no clue as to why, "What's going? Why have we been summoned?" One of the harem girls asked the other girl beside her, and she just shrugged "I don't know" The girl answered as murmurs filled the room until the doors opened up and Alpha Tristan walked in, his neutral gaze was focused on his throne, his beta was by his side until he reached the throne and he went to stand by his side"Welcome everyone, you must be wondering why you're all here" Alpha Tristan's beta said as he addressed the crowd, "well I will tell you it seems some of you have been spreading false tales about Rebecca and her pregnancy" The ladies exchanged uneasy glances as they stared at Alpha Tristan and his beta. The king, standing nearby, observed the situation unfold in front of him"Your idle chatter has not only insulted Rebecca but angered the king," he stated,
Third person pov Rebecca hesitated at the entrance to the servant quarters, her heart pounding with a mix of nervousness and guilt. The corridor she was currently waiting led to Leia's room, where she was now living because she gave up her role as a harem girl so she could work off her debt and leave the castle as a free woman.As Rebecca approached, she could hear the soft sounds of Leia singing, which made her wonder what her friend was doing. Swallowing her apprehension, Rebecca knocked gently on the door.And as Leia went to open the door, "Hello, I will be -" Leia was about to say when her gaze fell on Rebecca, her expression a mix of anger and hurt. "What do you want?" Leia's tone was sharp, a stark contrast to the warmth they once shared."I... I wanted to talk," Rebecca stammered, avoiding Leia's piercing gaze. "I need to know why you chose this life, why you became a maid."Leia scoffed bitterly. "Why does it matter to you now? After everything you've done?"Rebecca took a d
Alpha Carmen was in his study when Alpha Abel walked in, and from the look on his face, Alpha Carmen knew he had something to say "What's going on? You look like someone died, " Alpha Carmen joked as Alpha Abel took a seat in front of him"I have found the person who sent those assassins after Adriana," Alpha Abel said, and Alpha Carmen's face went serious "How?" Alpha Carmen asked "I asked some friends, it wasn't easy but I found him and his name his Richard," Alpha Abel answered"Don't tell me you're talking about Duke Richard," Alpha Carmen said "You know him?" Alpha Abel asked "Everyone knows him. He is a slimy bastard who will do anything to get what he wants." Alpha Carmen replied as he ran his random through his hair"What are we going to do about him?" Alpha Abel asked as he stared at Alpha Carmen "We will first have to send him a letter first, to warn him about coming after Adriana," Alpha Carmen said, "then if he doesn't stop, we will take matters into our own hands."
"What did you just say?" Alpha Abel asked as he stared at Adriana in shock Adriana gazed into Alpha Abel's eyes, her heart pounding. "I love you," she whispered, her voice filled with sincerity.Alpha Abel's expression shifted between surprise and disbelief. "Say it again," he urged, a mix of emotions playing across his face.A soft smile touched Adriana's lips as she repeated the words, "I love you." The weight of the moment hung in the air, both of them caught in the vulnerability of the admission, "I know you might not believe me but I've thought a lot about it and I know my feelings towards you are that of love, you've been there for me at my lowest and I'm not afraid anymore, I want to give myself to you if you will have me" "You don't know how happy those words have made me, i love you to Adriana and I love it if you're mine" Alpha Abel said as he placed a kiss on her temple and pulled her tighter to him, "Thank you so much""No, thank you, no man would accept another person'
Third person pov Richard was still contemplating on what to do to his daughter who had turned against them, he couldn't go to the king because it would destroy their family name like she said so he had to find out what to do before it was too late and Rebecca grew wings and truly abandoned them.As Richard was lost in thought, a knock came from the door, and he broke out of his thoughts and said, "Come in."Then the door opened up, and a maid walked in with a letter in her hand, "Good Evening Duke, this letter came for you," the maid said as she placed the letter on his table"Who is it from?" Richard asked as he stared at the letter, his suspicion evident in his gaze and tone "The letter is from a Mr Jack," the maid said as fear washed over Richard "Was the letter read by anyone?" Richard asked, trying to maintain his composure "No, it wasn't, I brought it directly to you," the maid said "Good, you may go," Richard said, and the maid left. He then stood to his feet and went to l
