The gruff male raised his father's banner high and mighty. The auditorium was dead silent and not a breath interrupted the illustrious eldest child. His draping cape of wolf fur which he skinned from the Alphas he slew wrapped loosely on his broad shoulders; his cold face blanched in a spiraling obsession to own.One could see the future Alpha was agitated."Half a million for Cataleia Reiss! An outstanding amount!" The Auctioneer said through the mic. His face was pale too. At that point, he thought Prince Kai would win over her. "I have no words!"Ajax's crimson eyes fixated on Lei's and the girl shuddered, her knees near to giving up. The two locked eyes for a few seconds before Lei broke her stare from him. Ajax, however, did not stray his eyes away from her."He's staring! He's staring!" Angela squealed. "You're saved now, Lei!"Prince Kai gave Ajax an unpleasant glower before lowering his banner. He slumped against his seat, defeated and rejected. His eyes fixated on the woman w

He smiled at Cataleia and then released the door, causing her to fall on her back and into the floor. Arthurian's smile clearly succumbs into a grin before turning around— his pink and blue robes flowing just behind him. He then walked away, leaving Lei in complete horror."That guy..!" she clenched her fists in irritation. "How dare he call me 'entertainment'!"She got up on her knees and then went inside her room, shutting the door entirely behind her. She looked around and again allowed herself to drown in the impression of the space they had given her.Indeed they have been quite generous with this donation. A room with two wardrobes filled with every item a woman has to ask for. And her bed— thrice the size of the bed she had at home. The floor was fully carpeted. She walked towards the bathroom and then opened it. There, she saw a massive bathtub which she had only seen in the houses of nobles. She shut it close and turned around."Eek!" The girl almost fell on her back. It wa

“Tristan Blackwater? Who’s that?”“The name of the Alpha we are about to eat.” “Eat..?”“Meet.” Arthurian coughed, masking his words. “He is father’s cousin.”“Tristan Blackwater is your Father’s cousin? And you’re telling me that in this meeting, there is a possibility that Ajax is going to kill him because he will lead the negotiations?”“Precisely.” He nodded at Lei, but the girl could not believe what she was hearing.“Are you serious? But you’re family!”“Ajax has already killed many members of our family.” Aiden told him. “Killing another isn’t new to him.”“What..? Are you hearing yourselves right now?” she fired back. “Family should be supporting one another. In a world where you’re prone to being hunted and full of enemies, you should surround yourself with family more!”Arthurian smiled slyly at Cataleia and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. He found her adorable when she became agitated.“Sometimes, when you are seated on a high throne… family becomes your notori

“You’re a monster.”Cataleia stared at the boss with no light in her eyes. Her adrenaline rushed, thoughts of destruction flooded her brain. Her fingers paled at the strong grip of her knife as if it were her own claws. Hot, dry blood wrapped her skin, the stench of wolf and rotten blood eradicates her nostrils. Her eyes were unmoving.“Come at me.” Her voice was ragged and heavy. “You started this. I’ll finish it for you.”The rogues’ boss dropped his machete and slowly retreated. Disbelief shatters his soul. He could not even bear to say another word to the girl. With what’s left of his men, he escapes into the sea of trees, leaving the rest of his brethren’s corpses behind. Lei dropped her knife too and then onto her knees. Pain erupted throughout her body— she was fatigued, and the sudden excessive use of her muscles made her entire being quake.As silence filled the air, the sound of the carriage’s door opening could be heard. Out came the twins. Arthurian almost gagged at the s

“What are you?”Cataleia dwelled on his question many times in her head. “I’m human.” Was all she could muster. “What do you mean..?”“The scent of a mate… it’s unusual.”“Humans… can’t be mates.” She told him. “Right?”Tristan Blackwater shrugged his shoulders. “ I don’t know. You just have the scent. Now I’m intrigued.”“Intrigued… by me? A lowly human? I didn’t expect to pique the interest of an alpha.”“So,” the Alpha had no signs of leaving her alone to rest. Instead, he crosses his legs and leans closer to Cataleia’s bed to talk with her. “…why did you start working with the Nyths? Were you blackmailed into joining them?”“No.” She shook her head. “I was hired. That’s it.”“I do not refute your strength.” He nods. “I do believe that you’re capable of fighting even if you’re a lady. But I don’t understand why you would be working for those weird bunch. Have you not heard the rumors about them?”“Rumors?” she raised an eyebrow. “What rumors?”“The Nyths will soon take over multipl
