CHAPTER 4
I was dragged out of our compound down to the pack house with my hands tied at my back.I managed to pull off the rope before any if the warriors could notice and as I did that, I pushed the warrior holding me and then... I ran as my legs could carry.I love wild life so I wasn't new to the forest life.I had one thing and that was run and survive.I'm not going to be taken as any mate to any one, I would choose who I want to be mated not and not any one choosing for me.I ran and I became so tired, I never wanted to give up but my eye lids felt heavy and then I gave into the darkness.Soon became unconscious, I didn't or couldn't hear anything clearly apart from distinct chatters.****~~~~I don't know how many buckets of water were poured over me but I know it must have been a whole lot since it could snap me back to life. My palms meet somewhat rocky later as I straighten up, a sneeze instantly coming out through my lungs and out my nostrils as the dusty wind blows past my face.I looked around me and instantly, my memory became rewinded. A cave- They had caught me and despite my unconscious state, they thereafter locked me up in a dark cave! I can't believe one's heart can be so hard as a rock. Damn!"Hurry and let's get her out."A rough voice snapped and I knew I was doomed when the two royal guards from earlier reached the cave's gate and turned the key in the iron lock.I jerked up to my feet, tears stinging my eyes as I pointed out a finger at them. "Don't you dare come close!""You fucking piece of_"I could hear them strolling tauntingly towards me, a raging cuss word emitting from one of them."I'll go for her, Ace."Soon enough, one of them volunteered to manhandle me, tossing me over his hulky shoulder before silently walking out of the warehouse, the rest of the trio trailing behind us.He walked in darkness for a while before light kit up and gardens were revealed before he was walking along the concrete hallway leading us into the backdoor that had already been left open."Where are you taking me?"I slurred, and he stopped. He grunts but doesn't answer and continues walking. Frantic steps could be heard as the door was opened up for our entry. Damn, I am not prepared to face the Alpha. Not now, perhaps never!"Put me the fuck down."I howled, my instincts kicking in. And like the butthead my captor is, he still furthered ignoring my protest. Kicking one foot after the other temperamentally, I started pulling at the scape of his hair."You brat_" he screeched. Anyways, I was dragged to the pack house.My eyes came in contact with the alpha, I stared at him with so much hate. He's the dumbest being I've ever known." You're dad's disobedience and selfishness brought about his death." "You're the selfish one here!" I screamed out."Aha ah watch your tongue little one." "And I don't? You would have to kill me the way you killed my dad, right? " I asked him.This time I was no more scared, he can kill me for all I care what's my essence if living after all.I felt a sting on my face, the slap was so hot that I spat out blood."Torturing me won't stop me from talking." I said and gave a mocking smile."Take her back to the dungeon, she would stay there till the alpha of crystal claw pack arrives with he's son, Zain!" He ordered the guards.Hearing he's words made me shiver, the thought of being mated to that Zain of a person is really scaring the wits out of me. I want a mate that I would love and not the other way round.With that I was thrown into the dungeon like a forbidden being.I can't even imagine how my life took a huge turn in a space of twenty four hours.****Few minutes later, I heard the door creaking then came in sounds of footsteps.A silhouette came into view and then the appearance of a bulky werewolf could be seen. He grabbed me by the hair and drew out if the dungeon.I'm treated worse than a slave right now. I was taken to a room where I was dressed in a white gown decorated with petals and gold flowers. My brown hair was plaited in a loosed braid as some strands fell over my face. I looked quite seductive now because some parts of my cleavage was exposed. Gold hair stones were added on my hair.I couldn't care about all these because I was still angry and hurt both physically and emotionally."Xena!? I'm so sorry, I never knew my dad could do something as outrageous as this." Jace held my hands and apologized."It's not your fault." I told him and gave him a weak smile."Where are you taking her to?" He asked the servants with me."To the alpha." They responded."Which alpha?" Jace questioned."The soon to be Alpha of the crystal claw pack." A voice which belonged to none other than my alpha responded."The alpha vixen's son!? But that why?" Jace queried him."Stay out of this son it's none of your business. Now let's go." The alpha ordered them to bring me forth.While all these where happening I just stared down at my feet as tears trickled down my cheeks.My life is like a living hell now.When I raised my head up... I meet something fascinating but I was too lost to pay attention."Oh there you are prince Zain, welcome y'all."Ohh wait... It seems to be that this handsome stud here Is the prince Zain the son of the ruthless alpha Vixen.And then... Lustful eyes!Chapter 5 I can't stop wondering what this was about. The stares makes me feel uncomfortable. Those lustful eyes.And my greatest fear was because those stares weren't coming from Alpha's son Zain at all but rather he's father... Alpha King Vixen.It sent goosebumps all over my body.I felt the urge to ask him if he wants to undress me with he's eyes but I had to keep my mouth shut as this alpha wasn't any one to be joked with.I gulped down a mouthful of my own saliva when I noticed another person staring at me just the same way the king Alpha vixen just did. I followed his eyes at watched as they landed on my exposed cleavage.What the heck!Was he staring at my.... Br...!I immediately used my hands to cover my upper body that was exposed but it didn't get any better as my hands only puffed them up.I huffed in frustration and looked at everyone in the room just to notice that I'm the center of attention.I just want the ground to open and swallow me now."Is she the one?" A lou
I couldn't hold it in anymore, the place I had known to be home and my relatives were letting me go without even a little word of encouragement."Raven?" She was the one who let out a loud cry and wasted no time hugging me to comfort me."Do you really have to go?" Her red eyes gazed at me with so much attention and care."Yes, I don't want anyone else getting hurt." I sniffed, trying to hold back my tears."Xena please…" she cried even more,"Your Dad wouldn't have wanted this." She sniffed, her trailing tears continuing to wet her already damp cheek."Dad is gone." I let the tears slip out from my eyes as I hugged her more tightly than before."Who would be with me when you're gone, who would I plan crazy stunts with who…" "Enough of this nonsense! You're delaying the to be Alpha of Crystal claw pack from taking his bride home." Alpha Demetri raged and immediately ordered his guards to drag raven out of the pack house."No, let her be." His calm majestic voice spoke again. "What d
Alpha Zain's pov I wasn't happy with everything that was going on. My father Alpha Vixen made me take a bride from the Blood-moon pack in order to settle the upcoming war he had with them. For him, a good woman would buy his heart any day and anytime.I hadn't seen her before but the moment I set my eyes on her, my wolf howled in excitement.She was like an angel. Her pale milky skin went with her ginger brown hair and hazel hers. She wasn't smiling but I could tell she would look like an angel if she did because even her anger made her look as cute as a teddy bear.She was wearing a white gown which revealed her curves and her Cleavage. I observed how most of them looked at her, some with admiration, some lust and others with anger and it took everything in me not to rip out their eyeballs from its socket. I recalled earlier when I had told my father that I would never fall in love with the lady he would get me but that eventually changed when I got to see her for real."I can't f
Chapter8Xena's POV…I shivered in fear the moment I went to my room. My thoughts about the old Alpha were right. I mean, he didn't look that old but still he has a son who is supposed to be my Alpha and yet, he's taking advantage of me.I moved to my bed and my wolf couldn't stop talking about how my supposed mate saved me."Didn't you feel that spark when your hands grazed each other while he was handing you the glass?" She asked and I grumbled.I did feel it but I wasn't going to let my wolf or my feelings get the better of me.He just helped me but don't forget that he was the one who acted like I was nothing to him by making me land on the hard fall with my butt. I murmured, taking off my clothes as I headed into the shower, a place where I usually go to cool my head.I took a deep breath as the shower's water trailed slowly down my body while my mind wondered about everything that happened today."Raven!" My eyes snapped open when her thought crossed my mind.My friend had suffe
Chapter9"Are you saying the maid hadn't given you the surprise yet? I'm going to cut off her tongue!" He banged his left hand on the table and anger flooded his face."Oh that. Sorry it slipped my mind over the excitement of my ceremony. Thank you so much." I responded in a nervous manner."Just thank you, aren't you going to hug me?" He pushed his seat and to my surprise he stood up with his hand wide open to hug me.I never thought I would say this but right now, I wished that my mate would come and interrupt what this old man wanted."Common, don't be shy…" he smiled and his smile showed his evil intention.I slowly dragged my feet towards him and hoped that this was a dream that I would wake up from.Just as I was about hugging the Alpha, someone walked in, grabbing both our attention."Hmm… Dad, what's going on here?" Zain's face didn't look pleased and he seemed so angry seeing his dad wanting to hug me."Just want to accept a huge from from my future daughter in law. She was t
Chapter10"Who are you talking to?" I jumped out of the bed and landed on the floor with my head facing the ground when I heard that voice."Get up." He spoke and I didn't know why but my body responded to his words on their own accord."Listen to me." He moved closer to me and grabbed my face, pulling me to himself in such a way that our bodies fanned each other's faces and his body heat warmed me."What do you want! I'm playing along just fine." I spoke in-between gritted teeth as I struggled to get off his grip."I said listen!" He added force to my arm which he was holding and I had no choice what to whine in pain,"Ouch, you're hurting me." "I don't care!" He yelled in a manner that caused me to flinch."What do you want?" My tone was a bit softer as I tried to mask the pain I was feeling." His hands were as strong as iron and holding me in such a manner was hurting my skin."No one should know that we are mates for real, do you get that?" He spoke and when I failed to answer h
Chapter11Zain's pov I stood in front of the crowd who were itching to know who their new Luna would be.Mumbling could be heard amongst the people as everyone waited for my speech."Great people of Crystal claw pack. I know many of you are wondering who my Luna is and where I got her from. Well, as you all know, I am an alpha who stands for peace and wants the six packs to be united in love.Therefore, this influenced my choice of who I went for to be my Luna." I paused to take in a deep breath and I realised the murmuring had stopped because everyone was now paying attention to what I was saying."I present to you, my new Luna." A round of applause began as she walked out majestically in the wine gown embroidered with beads. Her hair and makeup made her stand out and her wine shoes which were embroidered with silver stone made her look stunning."What's her name?""Yes, tell us her name." Someone else backed up the question asked by the first person."Um, um…" "Luna Xena!" Loga
Chapter12Xena's POV.Jenna had come to fetch me just as the alpha had instructed. She told me I was going to go through a short makeover and then I was going to go see my Mate.I followed her lead without any objections when I felt the need to mate with my mate like never before."What's happening?" I asked my wolf inwardly but she herself didn't know what was happening."Mate! I need my mate." I heard her growl and I gulped in response."Is everything okay, you're sweating a lot." If Jenna didn't call my attention, I wouldn't have known that."Don't worry, everyone's first time is always like that." She giggled before going to prepare a bath.The bath was made with warm water and some rose petals to make me smell sweet. Once I had taken my bath, I wrapped myself in my towel and went out to see the surprise."No, no I won't!" "It's the king's orders, you have to." Jenna consoled me."I know it's your first time and you're scared but you have to. If you don't feel comfortable, you c
