Prologue
Two days agoPeyton"There's something you need to know, Pey." The tremble in Lancelot's voice gave out how shaken he was feeling, and I was forced to turn away from the gondola milk shelf to his frightened-looking face. It was late in the evening and we were at the town's mini-mall for grocery shopping."What's that?" I inquired curiously, as I tucked a fallen strand of hair behind my ear. Suddenly feeling unsettled."T-t-the vampires... they're plotting to do something to our pack." After stammering a little, he finally dropped the bombshell. "I overheard them making plans on how to kill our Alpha, and compel our untriggered wolves into doing their biddings. They want to dominate the werewolves, with our pack to begin with."I blinked, with a sickening feeling running through my gut as my brain fought hard to properly align the words of my mate, Lancelot."This is hard to believe, I mean I know how the Vampires are threatened b

Peyton Present. "It's time." The gruff voice of a man booms through the thick walls of the cold dungeon. My ear kicks in the rustling of keys, then the sound of the door that is being jerked open. In comes a scarred face brutal-looking man, with two of his companions - a man and a masculine woman. "Pick her up," He orders, shooting me daggers with his hard face. His name is Beisten, and he's the head guard of the Alpha's dungeon. I am roughly being pulled up by the woman, with the chains I am bound in, making noises as they dangle. "Sir, she's refused to eat since she was brought here." The woman informs the head man this, gesturing at the cup of stale milk which I suspected to have the urine of a rat, and then there's the bread which of course is half feasted on by rats. "Still won't talk yet?" Beistern inquires, grabbing hold of my chin and examining my throat which I know is completely red. After shoving several cups of hot tea down my throat to get me to talk, it was futil

Peyton"Speak!" Lancelot's dad roars, slamming his fist against the desk in front of him that it makes a cracking sound."Lancelot got killed by a vampire." I croak out, with my voice sounding as if I am making use of it for the first time."What?" The crowd chorus, with confusion evident on their faces.Raising my chained hand to push a strand of hair away from my face and tucking it behind my ear, I let out a low breath and then tip my head up to face everyone at this point because I am innocent. "I didn't kill Lancelot. He got killed by a vampire on the night we went to a mall for grocery shopping." I explain, feeling a tad thankful that I can talk, and then keeping my expectations high on them believing me.Silence relapses in the air as everyone tries to process this."Bullshit, she's lying!" Someone hollers from the crowd and everyone starts talking at once."Why then did you choose to remain mute while being

Killian"What!?" The man only flinches on hearing my yell, with the chains he's bound in on dangling. He's shirtless, full of sweat, with the bruises on his body healing in a gradual process."I only left to take a piss and when I returned I saw everyone dead. It looked like they got attacked by a beast and not even a group of vampires because the bodies were in charred remains." He coughs out, avoiding my eyes."Bullshit!" I slam my fist against the wall in distress because this is clearly not what I want to hear. Moreover, the bastard has blocked me from linking my mind to his so I can't find the answers I need.My men don't utter any word because they know how agitated I am at this point.I am in the dungeon that is at the far end of my mansion. This is where I bring in suspects to torture them, or even killed them when they seize from giving me required informations.Wrapping my hand around the man's neck, I watch as h

PeytonRelax, this has nothing to do with you. People have possibly seen this body and ignored it, so it wouldn't hurt if you do the same. I tell myself for the upteenth time, staring at the unconscious injured naked man.But my wolf doesn't agree with this because the body is in front of my doorstep.Half an hour earlier, I left the house to go get some bread since it's what I've been surviving on since I came here, and when I returned to my house, I saw something I wasn't expecting.A man.He's so big, beefy, and well built that I can't help taking hard dry gulps. Thankfully he has his butt in the facing the air so I don't see what would make me even more uncomfortable in my puzzled state.This man is not moving at all, so I don't know if he's dead or alive. Plus I am too scared to touch him, to check his pulse because his scent instantly sells him out that he's a wolf.Which is even more reason to not get myself involved with him.

KillianThe noise in my head makes me open my eyes in a gradual process, and everything is blurry at first but it feels like I just survived an accidentWhen the blurriness wanes from my eyes, sharp pain slices through my head and stays like a god-damned brainstorming migraine.Placing my hand on the side of my forehead, I manage to stare around me and wonder where the hell I am.The room is so tiny, even my bathroom is far bigger than it.There aren't any valuables here, just a bag of clothes, a chair, and a table that contains a half candle, scissors, hand sewing equipment, and a plaster.I rub my hand over my face, only to realize seconds later that I am on a tiny bed.What in the world happened?Taking the mattress off my body to rise to my feet, my face squeezes into a frown when I see that I am naked.For the second time, what the fuck happened?I attempt to stand up, but immediately groan and lay back

Peyton "Sorry, we aren't hiring." The receptionist tells me after doing a once over at my appearance in distaste."What about a kitchen assistant?" I implore, eyes red with frustration with a tad of Hope in my heart.And she shakes her head in disapproval.Letting out a low groan, I turn away from the receptionist and start heading towards the exit doors as I sulk at my ill-stinking luck.It's been seven failed job attempts so far in one day, and I don't have any cash on me at this point which makes things even more complicated.There are few vampires here with their pale skin and dark eye circles selling them out. They're five in number, three boys and two girls dressed in all black like rock stars, but they seem to be monitoring everything going on in the cafe, perhaps looking for a human who they'd feast on later.I bite down on my bottom lip because I don't want to think about Alvin, the vampire who killed Lancelot.

Killian "Who are you exactly and what's your mission here?" Tucksberry, one of the Blue Wave pack elders questions with his audible voice which is capable of stirring up fear in the hearts of vulnerable people. And there's immediate silence as I make my presence known in the council hall that consists of my pack members."Alpha Killian," Tucksberry acknowledges me, along with the rest of the elders and crowd looking at me with interest.I walk towards my reserved seat, but I don't sit down. Dylan, my Beta, and the rest of my men chose to stand at my side."So I heard there's an exiled wolf in town," I say, slowly curling my fingers and raising them to my face."Over there, Alpha." Someone points at a fragile-looking girl who has her head lowered to her chest. Wait a minute, that familiar scent?I can already feel her before I see her face."My name is Peyton Adabelle Barlowe, I am nothing

.Killian"So she's the one that saved you, huh?" Dylan asks me, referring to my mate, as he takes a swig out of the vodka bottle, before settling back on top of my executive wooden desk. "The whole pack members are still puzzled that you didn't pass on any judgment but dismissed everyone and took the girl away." "That's none of my business, though. If it weren't for her, I probably would have been dead by now. I owe her one." Dylan is already aware that I got attacked by a strange wolf. I want to tell him Peyton is my mate, but I decided against it. "And I was overwhelmed with pity for her when she told me her story," I explain then curl my fingers into fists. At this point, I don't even know if I did the right thing or not, by taking her in. But she's my mate, the urge to protect her is gr

KillianAnger stirs up inside of me. "You have no right to come in here without my permission. Have you no respect for your Alpha?" I growl, but she only shoots me a smirk, showing that she's not in any way scared but finds my anger rather appealing. She's putting on expensive seductive clothing as usual, and I know it's to get my attention. But I chuckle inwardly because I am not in any way attracted to her. Will never be. Even though everything about her seems perfect. Body, hair, clothes, make-up. I don't care. She's not genuine. She wants to be my Luna by all means. And I wonder how she would feel if she finds out I've found my mate.
