《Alpha Tyrion’s Arranged Mate – His Hybrid Mate》


 Losing Virginity to Alpha Tyrion

    Celine¡¯s POV:


    ¡°Be quick! ¡± Someone shouted and I was brought back to my senses.


    I hurriedly refilled the sses of wine on the table for the guests while the other maid fixed the dinner. My hands shook every time I heard Alpha Tyrion¡¯s name in the room. I shook my head and tried to forget about whatever happenedst night.


    It was an ident. I didn¡¯t know how that happened. I wasn¡¯t in control. Neither was my wolf. The heat had taken over my senses. I gripped the tray in my palm and my knuckles turned white.


    ****


    Last night:


    ¡°Go and Serve Alpha Tyrion! ¡± My father shouted when I was about to enter my chambers. He was carrying a ss of wine in his hands and a little smirk yed on his lips. I didn¡¯t want to get beaten up for the third time today and quickly grabbed the ss.


    Before I could turn around, he ran a cloth over my face, almost making me cough and I watched him with confusion.


    ¡°What are you looking at? Leave, idiot. ¡±


    There was no use in arguing with him. I hurriedly walked to the Guest Chambers for the Alphas. Alpha Tyrion¡¯s chamber was at the end of the corridor and I knocked twice before he opened it with a frown.


    ¡°What do you want? ¡± He asked with an irritated face.


    I gulped, ¡± Your wine¡­ ¡±


    He took a deep breath and gave me the space to walk in his chamber. I put the ss on the table and gave him a smile.


    ¡°Wait, can you clean this mess? ¡± He asked, pointing at the broken pieces of the vase, ¡± Someone broke it when I was in the meeting. ¡±


    I quickly got on my knees and picked each piece. Alpha Tyrion gulped down the wine down his throat at once. He growled and it scared me. But he walked closer to the window and I felt a littlefortable.


    I got up and tried to open the door. But it was locked. Alpha Tyrion noticed me using all my strength on the door and he tried to open it too.


    ¡°Who the fu*k locked it?! ¡± He shouted angrily.N?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    And that¡¯s when I felt the wetness between my thighs and a heat which made me cry out in pain. Alpha Tyrion must have caught the scent of my arousal too because his irises changed into a fiery yellow. His jaw clenched and he looked away from me.


    ¡°I am sorry, Alpha. ¡± I said between my moans.


    He snarled and punched the wall. His hands gripped the back of his head and he stood at the other side of the room again.


    ¡°What did you make me drink? ¡± He asked, getting out of breath.


    My arousal had reached its limits and the pheromone started working on my senses. Having an Alpha, unmated male, in the same room as me was making me go crazy. My body started burning up and I tore off the gown.


    Alpha Tyrion growled when he saw me ying with my nipples. His bulge was visible from the tight pants and his wolf had taken over him.


    Within a minute, both of us were sucking each other¡¯s mouths and he threw me on the bed, only to im me so roughly that I withered in pain.


    ¡®Mate. ¡®Belinay, my wolf, whispered but Alpha Tyrion was busy thrusting in and out of me.


    By the time he was done, it was already morning and my thighs were covered in his seeds and blood. He was unconscious and I quietly walked out, only toe face to face with the Four Great Alphas and my father who noticed my teary face and the scent of Alpha Tyrion lingering over me.


    *****


    Luckily, my father had not asked me about anything till now which was both a mystery and a threat to me. What hurt me the most was that Alpha Tyrion had not initiated any conversation with me afterst night. I hadn¡¯t even seen him around.


    I knew he wasn¡¯t happy to be here. None of the Great Alphas were. My only friend La had not talked to me either. It wasn¡¯t her fault though.


    We had been extremely busy with the preparations because after two decades our small pack, The Silver Moon Pack, was holding the yearly meeting for the ¡®Council of Seven Alphas. ¡®


    Somehow, our pack had been able to join the prestigious council with the efforts of ourte Alpha but everything had gone downhill after his death. The truth was we were on the verge of breaking down as a pack and going rogue.


    ¡°Don¡¯t daydream, Celine. We already had a huge ident in the morning. ¡± La scolded me.


    The memory of yesterday¡¯s incident shed across my eyes. The chandelier was about to fall on Alpha Tyrion when my father saved him at the right time. Everyone praised him for the brave act and Alpha Tyrion had even given my father an empty wish which he could ask anything for.


    An empty wish is something given by the Royal Wolves to usmon wolves which we can use any time and ask almost anything. Something which my ungrateful father didn¡¯t deserve.


    ¡®I can never trust the old man. ¡®Belinay, my wolf muttered under her breath.


    ¡®Me too. ¡®


    The dominant scents of Alphas flooded the room and my submissive omega wolf bowed her head at them. I couldn¡¯t even dare to look at them because I was nothing but just the dirt of their shoes. I was ugly and with the little scar running on my belly no man would ever feelfortable around me.


    My mate would reject me.


    That¡¯s what my father told me. He always did that. Whenever he would find me smiling, his one insult would make me cry for my bad luck.


    Only if my real parents had been here. And I didn¡¯t have to be adopted by him when he hated me so much. My life would have been so different. So beautiful like others.


    Coming out of the Dreand, I realized the Alphas hade back to the dining room again. And Alpha Tyrion was present too. His eyes found me, hiding in a corner. He instantly turned his head away from me.


    They all took their seats around the dining table and we began serving them the food. Our Alpha Andre was not happy with this meeting because now everyone knew how inefficient our pack was.


    ¡°I want to make my wish, Alpha. ¡±


    My father said when the Alphas had finished having dinner.


    Everyone went quiet and my father stood his grounds even though our Alpha was not very happy with his behavior. He could have waited until midnight or the morning.


    I gripped the ss in my hand as Alpha Tyrion looked at him, waiting for an answer. His face was turned into a straight line with no expression or whatsoever on it.


    ¡°Ask. ¡± He said in his deep voice.


    I shouldn¡¯t focus on him because La gave me weird looks every time she caught me watching him.


    ¡°Please take my daughter as your mate. ¡±


    I gasped and everyone brought their attention to me. La raised her brow but I kept my head low, not bothering to look at her.


    ¡°Do you even know what you are saying! ¡± Alpha Tyrion got up from his chair furiously and his fangs came out ready to attack him.


    ¡°Yes, Alpha. I know that you took my daughter¡¯s innocencest night and even marked her. Who¡¯s going to ept her now? Worse, she might be pregnant by now. ¡±


    Alpha Tyrion looked at me and the hatred he had for me was something I couldn¡¯t describe in words if I had to.


    ¡°That¡¯s serious. Tyrion, did you take her virginity and marked her? ¡±


    ¡°I was under the influence of wine. ¡± He told the Senior Alpha Of the Alliance.


    Another Alpha scoffed, ¡± Wine? So, I don¡¯t think any female is safe. That¡¯s a ridiculous excuse. ¡±


    Alpha Tyrion was about to jump on him when the Senior Alpha Kai stopped him.


    ¡°Tyrion, you have to legally make her Luna. We can¡¯t let the packs feel that Alphas can get away with everything. ¡±


    I wiped my teary cheeks when I saw Alpha Tyrion clenching his teeth, controlling his anger.


    ¡®Why is he doing this to us? He is our mate. ¡®Belinay said.


    ¡®He doesn¡¯t want us to be his Luna. We are worthless to him. ¡®


    ¡°I can¡¯t take her as my Luna. ¡± He finally said.


    ¡°Why Tyrion? You already marked her. ¡±


    ¡°I have a chosen fiancee in my pack. I love her. I can¡¯t be with any random maid. ¡°

 Arranged Mate Bond

    Celine¡±s POV:


    Ouch! Those words pierced my heart like a sharp sword had run through my heart twice. Everything came down pouring on me. My destiny, my birth parents, the kicks and punches I suffered from my father. And now the rejection from my mate who didn¡¯t seem to even acknowledge me.


    Why was Moon Goddess doing this to me? A simple rejection would have hurt me but this was nearly a death experience for me.


    ¡°Is she marked? ¡± Alpha Kai, the Senior Alpha, asked.


    ¡°No, but we are going to get each other marked by next week. Everyone knows about it. My pack and hers are excited for the wedding. ¡± Alpha Tyrion answered.


    Alpha Kai nodded and thought about something. I felt the skies falling on me. Alpha Tyrion was so much in love with his mate. I could see that on his face.


    My father howled, crying and panting like he was about to lose his life, ¡± What about my daughter then? She just turned 18st month and¡­ you could have seen her gown. He brutally forced himself on my daughter. ¡±


    Alpha Tyrion grabbed my Father¡¯s cor and punched him twice. He kicked him in the guts and everyone stared at him angrily.


    ¡°I am not interested in her. ¡±


    ¡°What about my empty wish? Can a father get justice?! ¡±


    I couldn¡¯t believe that my father was taking the blows for me. He was so worried about my life and wanted the best for me. I had never seen him acting so savagely against an Alpha before.


    ¡°You will get Justice, Gabriel. Nobody gets to take the innocence of young girls and marry the Princess like nothing happened under my watch. I saw her too in the morning when she came out crying. ¡±


    Alpha Issac of ck Crescent Pack stood with my father and supported him to get up.


    ¡°I saw her too¡­ ¡±


    ¡°Yes, I was there too. ¡±


    ¡°I agree she should be mated to Alpha Tyrion. ¡±


    Every Alpha spoke against Alpha Tyrion and he just stood there watching me and my father.


    ¡°Given the circumstances, even if I could have ignored the mistake youmittedst night, I believe the empty wish stands as a firm rule set for an Alpha to be fulfilled. You need to give him whatever he asks for. ¡±


    Alpha Tyrion was visibly on the verge of losing his cool and going feral against everyone present in the room. That meant there was going to be blood. Lots of blood and war among the packs.


    I needed to intervene. I had to say something.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to be his Luna. ¡±N?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    My father hissed in anger at me and I flinched when his tight grip fell on my arm.


    ¡°You are scared but I know you want to be his legal mate. ¡± He said.


    ¡°Well, she doesn¡¯t want me either. It¡¯s settled then. ¡± Alpha Tyrion announced loudly.


    My father was not going to let it pass so easily and he fell at the feet of Alpha Kai, pleading with him with his tears.


    ¡°What do you want, girl? I can¡¯t let you suffer the consequences. The Alpha Alliance Council doesn¡¯t discriminate among the she-wolves. Tell me. What do you desire to have the most? ¡± Alpha Kai asked me.


    My throat wobbled with the tears and a knot formed in my belly. I closed my eyes, focusing on my inner voice.


    What did I want?


    My family. Children of my own.


    ¡°A child. ¡±


    The words came out as an involuntary action. I realized what I had just said in front of so many Alphas, my cheeks burnt from embarrassment.


    ¡°You will get your wish fulfilled. ¡±


    My father was shooting daggers at me, ¡± But are you going to make my daughter, Celine, some Alpha¡¯s mistress after one Alpha used her? Is that your decision-? ¡±


    ¡°Shut your mouth, Gabriel! Wait for my decision. ¡± Alpha Kai gave my father a stern warning this time and he kept quiet.


    Alpha Kai walked to the center of the stage. The eyes of every Alpha falling on him. I was asked to stand beside him. Alpha Tyrion was standing by his left and I was on the right side.


    ¡°This girl is very innocent and honest. ¡± Alpha Kai said and I heard Alpha Tyrion scoff, ¡± She was wronged by both Alpha Tyrion and her father. She didn¡¯t deserve the insult. Now, she just wants a child of her own like every young girl. Is she wrong to ask that after whatever happened to her? ¡±


    My heart beat against my chest as if it was on a train.


    ¡°She is right. I don¡¯t find anything wrong in it. ¡±


    ¡°Neither me. ¡±


    ¡°I am happy you all agree. Now, we know how much the mates desire innocence in their she-wolves which she has lost. She¡¯s not that beautiful or belongs to any rich family to have a better future. Only Alpha Tyrion can give her a child because he is her first man. I don¡¯t want her to be a rag doll going from one person to another. Moon Goddess will curse me for that. ¡±


    I shut my eyes, fearing what Alpha Tyrion would be thinking of me. That was not what I had intended to do.


    ¡°I can give her a child if that¡¯s what you want. ¡±


    Alpha Kai cleared his throat, ¡± Also, would we like for the child to be a bastard? Born without a mate bond¡­ Would Alpha Tyrion not keep his words for the empty wish? If he doesn¡¯t agree, I shall remove him from Alpha Alliance Council. ¡±


    That must be a hard blow for Alpha Nichs because he watched the elders with wide eyes.


    ¡°Is it a conspiracy against me? All of you are included! ¡± Alpha Tyrion pointed his finger at everyone.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be crazy, Tyrion. What would we get from it? ¡±


    Alpha Isaac snarled, ¡± If you don¡¯t want her, then leave your position. ¡±


    My father joined them too, ¡± I really thought thete Alpha Brian really wanted to see you be the king because he couldn¡¯t get the position before the attack. ¡±


    I wanted to leave and run back to the basement in my house where I used to live. But Alpha Kai held my hand and kept me in ce.


    ¡°I ept to take her as my Luna for the time being. ¡±


    I was stunned when Alpha Tyrion caught my arm all of a sudden and made me stand right in front of me.


    ¡°I, Alpha Tyrion Macklin, in the presence of Alpha Alliance Council, take Celine, as my Luna and promise to give her a child as a deal to break the bond in the end. ¡±


    His words were filled with fury, hatred and anger. His grip tightened on my hand and I yelped in pain but he didn¡¯t care about my suffering. My father urged me to speak as he stared at me.


    ¡°I ept the mate bond. ¡± I said. He pinched my skin, ¡± I promise to leave Alpha Tyrion after my child is born. ¡±


    ¡°Long live, the Alpha Alliance Council! ¡± My father danced in joy and tears strolled down on my cheeks.


    My fate was sealed now in this arranged mate bond and my mate hated me.

 His Dilemma and contract

    Alpha Tyrion Macklin¡¯s POV:Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    I hated the very sight of that girl, Selene. I could hear her sobbing and pretending to be insulted in front of everyone when in reality she had been plotting the main n with her Father for so long.


    First, she had spiked my drink with something and made my wolf go crazy. I was in no condition to fight against her when she was standing naked in my room.


    Even then, I had nned to help her in secret. To talk to her after whatever happened. But her father took advantage of the empty wish which I gave him.


    Now, when I thought about it, it seemed as if the ident was also a part of their n. To make me go soft and grant him a wish.


    ¡®I hate her father. But the girl seems innocent. ¡®Sabre, my wolf, gave his not so important opinion.


    ¡®You will find her innocent because she¡¯s good at pretending. ¡®I replied.


    ¡®But wasn¡¯t it the best s*x we ever had? I can¡¯t forget about those curves¡­ ¡®


    My cheeks flushed at the mere memory ofst night and my di*k hardened when I noticed her exposed cleavage from my side¡­


    Fu*k! She was already ying with my head.


    Was I cheating on Ava? The first mistake was out of my hands but what now? Imagining those moments and wanting to spend more time with her was all fucked up.


    Alpha Isaac, my long time rival, was smirking and teasing me by wiggling his brows like crazy. I wanted to punch him so bad. But I couldn¡¯t. I had an image to maintain.


    If it was not about the Crown and King position, I would have stepped down from my position in the Alliance the moment they all began pestering me. But I was not going to bend after this conspiracy against me.


    None of them wanted justice for this girl but they all had imagine my downfall after I had stepped down from my position and also had got an out of the race against the Crown. It was my father¡¯sst wish for me to get back to the position which my grandfather was holding at the time when the vampires had attacked. I was not going to let him down even if I had to take this stupid maid with me to my pack.


    Ava would understand my situation because our love was so strong and different than everyone else.


    I would teach this girl the real meaning of punishment and forcing someone to do what they don¡¯t want.


    She had just given me her life and as soon as I was done giving her child, after the harsh treatment, I would kick her out of this enjoyable life.


    Such a who**!


    ¡®She was a virgin¡­ ¡®Sabre, my wolf, muttered under his breath.


    ¡®Character decides who a person is. Not the body count. ¡®I stated.


    ¡°Congrattions, Alpha Tyrion for the mate. ¡± Alpha Isaac pped his hands and others joined him too.


    My first instinct was to behead him or challenge him for a fight. No one got to speak against me and insult me like that before everyone. But, he was ying with my head and wanted to take the savage side of me.


    All these years of hard work from my side and doing the training program since I was 7, meant more than a few minutes of my anger.


    ¡°I pray for a happy time¡­ ¡± Alpha Kai said.


    I knew whatever Alpha Kai made me do had a reason behind it. He was my father¡¯s elder brother and had always love to me like his own son because he didn¡¯t have any child of his own. One of the very reasons why he felt a little sympathy towards the girl when she told him that she wanted a child and nothing else. I could never argue against him.


    But my heart was filled with guilt and fury.


    What was I going to tell Ava when she would see this girl beside me?


    She must be preparing for the wedding by now and it would break him into pieces.


    ¡°How will Alpha Jonathan react to this? ¡± Alpha Isaac mocked me.


    Damn! Another headache.


    He would not take this matter lightly because it was going to affect his daughter, Ava, in a very brutal way. As a matter of fact, I was ready for the wrath and the verbal abuse I would have to face.


    He would take the charge of his pack and the army from my hands. And I would be back to having just 10, 000 wolves under me, not the 60, 000 soldiers who had been working under mymand.


    Alpha Jonathan had provided me with every help and assistance which I had needed after I took over the Throne. He also helped me in the Pack maintenance and providing different skilled wolves to the pack. I had never faced any problem in my pack ever. But, it was going to be the start of an angry rivalry between us.


    Everything was fucked up. My path to the Crown was doomed. How and why did I mark her?! That was a fucking mystery.


    ¡°He will understand. ¡± Alpha Kai said, ¡± Anyways, let¡¯s wrap it all. It was thest day of the meeting though. So, everyone will leave by tonight to their respective packs. ¡±


    I rubbed my head thinking about my pack. My Ava. My mother. My sister. My brother.


    Even my Beta didn¡¯t know about this mess because he was watching over the pack matters in my absence. Greg would definitely go ballistic after this news. He and Ava had been good friends for so long.


    I felt like running away in the woods and calm myself down. But that was not the option right now.


    We had to leave after all. Tomorrow was going to be my engagement.


    But I had to gather up my courage and tell everyone that I was not going to im Ava as my Luna.


    ¡°Pack your stuff. ¡± I whispered angrily in her ear and left her standing by her father¡¯s side.


    Once back in the guest room, I growled and broke the vases in the room. Destroying everything and taking my anger out helped me in getting out the anger from my heart.


    ¡®Ava will understand. You don¡¯t have to feel so guilty. ¡®Sabre said.


    ¡®I don¡¯t know, Sab. I never thought something like that could happen. She¡¯s a cunning woman. I can¡¯t trust her for a second. ¡®


    I ran my fingers in my hair and the thought hit me like a p.


    What was the possibility that she would leave once the child was born?


    What if she abort the child everytime?


    That would prove fatal for me in the end. I couldn¡¯t trust her words. I had to keep it in writing. So, I asked the maids to print the paper, confidential agreement, quickly.


    The members of my pack, almost twenty, in total had packed their bags and the girl entered my chamber too with a small torn up bag in her hands. She was still wearing the same ugly, dirty, grey colored gown. Her hair were tied in a lose bun and there were traces of food on her skirt.


    How pathetic¡­


    ¡°Sign this, first. ¡±


    She watched me in confusion, waiting for an exnation from me which I was not in the mood. Heck, I didn¡¯t even want to see her face.


    ¡°Read it and sign. ¡±


    I threw the papers on her face and she looked at the papers as if it was written in an ancientnguage.


    ¡°I can¡¯t read, Alpha¡­ ¡± She said, keeping her eyes on the ground.


    ¡°What the fuc*?! You¡¯re¡­ ¡± I shook my head, ¡± Illiterate but still can frame an Alpha. Huh?! ¡±


    ¡°No, I didn¡¯t. It was a mistake¡­ ¡±


    ¡°Shut the fu*k up. ¡± I growled, ¡± It¡¯s written here that you will leave me and the pack as soon as you get pregnant. ¡±


    She nodded after a few seconds pause.


    I made her hold the pen in her hand, moved her fingers to form an amateur signature.


    She rubbed her hands as soon as I let go off her hand. Her eyes shone with tears and she wiped them.


    ¡°You are going to cry tears of blood when your feet touch my pack borders. ¡± I threatened her and her face turned pale.


    ¡°I would rather like you to leave me in the woods. I can live as a rogue, Alpha. ¡±


    Sabre growled at her disrespect and audacity against me. How dare she!


    ¡°Do you think you can leave now? I will show you how hell feels, Luna Celine¡­ ¡± I let go off her hair and she cried again to herself.

 Crazy Girlfriend Attacks Celine

    Celine¡¯s POV:


    I nced behind onest time to keep the memories with me in my heart. I barely had any good ones but my friend La, was one of the very few good things I would cherish forever.


    Alpha Tyrion had walked ahead of me and I had to run behind to chase him. It was embarrassing enough because the pack females were making fun of me. Others were jealous too and imed to be dumb because they should have done that.


    I, the ugly duckling, got the most handsome man to ever exist.


    As he was talking to Alpha Kai, I finally noticed his features. He was a lot taller than everyone around him, golden brown streaks of hair highlighted his head, his light piercing blue orbs casted a spell on everyone whenever he made eye contact. And that small dimple on his left cheek whenever he was smiling or in a deep thought added to his handsomeness.


    Meanwhile, I was nothing a normal 18 year would look like. A set of green dull orbs. Brown hair. Average height, smaller than others. Even my wolf was small.


    ¡°Celine, listen to me. ¡± It was my father, ¡± I want you to make a ce in the pce. Get the information of the treasure. And steal those expensive jewels. ¡±


    I bit my lip nervously, ¡± But sir¡­ I can¡¯t do that. ¡±


    ¡°Do you even know you have already ruined such a good n?! Now, we have less time. Don¡¯t get pregnant easily. Or if you do, just kill it. ¡±


    Nothing made sense to me. Was this his n all along?


    ¡°How could you? ¡± I cried.


    ¡°Keep your mouth closed. If you try to tell anyone about it, I will kill your friend. You have been nothing but a burden. ¡± He said.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you dare hurt her¡­ ¡±


    ¡°If you get me the treasure¡¯s location, I will tell you about your real parents. How I stole you from them! ¡±


    He stole me¡­ Oh, that wasn¡¯t surprising. Alpha Tyrion was watching us with lots of curiosity and I didn¡¯t want him to raise doubts against me.


    ¡°Okay.¡± I whispered.


    I saw Alpha Tyrion approaching us and my father hugged me, pretending to cry upon my leave.


    ¡°I wille to meet you next month. ¡± He said.


    Alpha Tyrion gave a disgusted sigh and I saw him getting back in the car. Other Alphas surrounded him as he was about to sit.


    ¡°How can you leave your beautiful Luna behind? ¡±


    Oh, dang. They were teasing him. I wasn¡¯t beautiful. Neither did he want me.


    He ignored them and I hurriedly settled in the car. The driver ignited the engine and the car raced out of the pack borders within a few minutes. My heart went to do the anxious dance again.


    ¡®Baby, I am waiting for you¡­ I haven¡¯t been able to get any sleep in your absence. I also got my hair done like you love them. They¡¯re brown now. Your cute brte¡­ I can¡¯t wait to be your Luna. Come back because I have big news. Love you, Ty. ¡®


    I heard the voice of a sweet female as he yed the voice note on his phone. That must be his lover. The chosen mate. Because I was his fated mate¡­


    ¡°Fuck! ¡± He muttered.


    ¡°Sorry¡­ ¡±


    He choked my throat and my head mmed against the ss of the window.


    ¡°You must be enjoying my misery. Finally, you ruined my life and got a little luxury. Do you even know what love is? You greedy gold digger. ¡±


    He finally let go of my neck and I panted for more air. I controlled the tears but they didn¡¯t stop from falling on my hand.


    ¡°Cry! Howl! I don¡¯t care. ¡±


    The whole car ride passed with me sobbing and trying to not make any noise. He didn¡¯t give me any attention. He was busy thinking about his lover and how he was going to tell her which I understood.


    My father was so mean and cruel.


    ¡°Stop the car. ¡± He asked his driver.


    We were in the middle of the city market and I didn¡¯t find any other person who could be waiting for us here.


    ¡°Step out and buy something for you. ¡±


    I blinked at him, confused by his words.


    ¡°I don¡¯t need anything¡­ ¡±


    He scoffed, ¡± I am not gifting you. You look homeless in this gown. Buy something decent and get dressed in the changing room. ¡±


    He threw a card at me and I gripped it between my fingers.


    How could I tell him that I had never bought anything? That I had never been to such a luxurious ce before.


    But I got out of the car when he red at me for thest time.


    I made my way to the shop and peeked inside from the window. It was so expensive and rich Lunas or royal females were doing their shopping.


    ¡°Where are you going? ¡± The guard stopped me.


    I smiled at him, ¡± To buy a dress. ¡±


    I showed him the card but heughed at me.


    ¡°Did you steal it? Get out of here! ¡± He screamed.


    I gulped down the saliva forming in my throat, ¡± No, I didn¡¯t steal it. Alpha Tyrion gave me the card. ¡±


    Suddenly, hisugh vanished and he gave me a hard look from head to toes.


    ¡°Do you even know who he is?! Get out. ¡± He pushed me and I was about to fall when someone grabbed me.


    Alpha Tyrion helped me to stand and I gripped his arm tightly.


    ¡°You are fired. ¡± He said to the guard who immediately regretted pushing me away.


    ¡°Alpha¡­ I¡­ ¡±


    Alpha Tyrion took my hand and walked me in the shop. The females stopped to look at him and their demeanor changed.


    ¡°Show her a good gown. ¡± He told the assistant.


    She asked me to follow her and I looked at the beautiful, expensive gowns. Everything looked beautiful to me. I touched them to make myself believe that they were real.


    ¡°What would you like? ¡± She asked.


    ¡°Anything¡­ ¡±


    She stared at me too but chose a red gown which was so beautiful and elegant. I knew we didn¡¯t have any extra time to waste so hurriedly got in the changing room.


    I caught my reflection in the mirror whileing out of the room. I looked better than before. Even if my face and hair were the same. Ugly.


    Alpha Tyrion had gone back to the car and I sat beside him too.


    ¡°You won¡¯t talk to anyone without permission. Always stay in a respected state of mind. ¡± He turned to me, ¡± And don¡¯t wh**e around¡­ ¡±


    I nodded because if I had opened my mouth then I would have surely cried.


    Finally, we reached the packhouse and I felt like throwing up at the sight of the guards and those high walls.


    Would they kill me?


    What if his lover attacks me?!N?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    ¡°Alpha, will you protect me as your mate? ¡±


    My question caught him by surprise and he waited for me to exin myself.


    ¡°Please don¡¯t let anyone hurt me. I promise I will listen to whatever you say. ¡±


    Something shifted in his eyes, ¡± If you think Ava will hurt you then you are wrong. She¡¯s a very sweet and gentledy. But I can assure you that nobody abuses anyone in my pack. ¡±


    That was enough for me to feel better because I was tired after getting beaten up each and every day by my father.


    ¡°Thank you. How old are you, Alpha? ¡±


    ¡°Why do you want to know? Do you need to know if I am getting old soon? ¡± He snarled.


    I shook my head, ¡± No.. That¡¯s not what I meant. ¡±


    The car stopped in front of the pce. The driver got out and opened the door for him.


    ¡°27¡­ ¡±


    ¡°Tyrion!! ¡± I heard a girl screaming at the top of her lungs and she came running to get closer to the car. As I stepped out, her smiled vanished and she looked at me and Alpha Tyrion.


    I decided to move away to give them privacy but Alpha Tyrion put his arm around my waist as more people started flowing in to see him.


    ¡°Who¡¯s she, Ty? ¡± The beautiful girl asked.


    ¡°My mate. ¡±


    And she snapped. Without giving me a second, I felt a sharp pain across my cheek and she gripped my hair, making me fall down on the floor and kicked me in the guts.


    ¡°I am your mate. You can¡¯t prank me like that! ¡± She screamed.


    ¡°Ava, don¡¯t hurt her. It¡¯s not a joke. ¡±


    He helped me to get up and I hid behind him to protect myself from the mean girl.


    ¡°I am calling Father. She is going to die, Ty. I swear¡­ ¡°

 Traumatic life

    Celine¡¯s POV:


    I felt as if the ground was slipping away from my feet. There was so much chaos in the pack and almost everyone hade out of their houses to see me like a circus clown.


    ¡®She hurt us! This woman is vile, Celine. ¡®Belinay roared angrily.


    My body was trembling and a cold shiver ran down my spine when a woman in her mid fifties gave me a hard look. It was as if she was judging me and thenparing me with her son.


    ¡°Why did you choose a maid? ¡± She scoffed.


    Alpha Tyrion took a sharp breath and touched her shoulder, ¡± They made me do it. I didn¡¯t have any other way out of it, mom¡±


    It was the old Luna and his mother. I quickly bowed my head at her. She rolled her eyes and ignored me like a flu.


    ¡°We should talk about it. I know there has to be a way out of it. ¡±


    The pack members growled and someone threw a stone at me. It hit me right on my forehead and blood seeped out of the wound. I closed my eyes and rubbed the ruptured skin to soothe the pain.


    ¡°How dare you trap Alpha Tyrion? ¡± One of the women shouted from the crowd.


    I tried to get away from the angry mob as quickly as I could but they had surrounded me like a prey. They wanted me dead. The pack considered me a wicked woman who had ruined their Alpha¡¯s life.


    I caught another woman running towards me and wrapped my hands around my head to protect me from the hard blow.


    ¡°Silence! ¡±


    Alpha Tyrion roared and everyone went quiet. He made me stand behind him.


    ¡°If anybody tries to hurt her then I am going to put them on execution. Is that clear? ¡± He shouted looking at everyone.


    The crowd dispersed after murmuring and giving me dirty looks. I was still standing behind him like a scared child who knew no one in a strange ce other than one person.


    ¡°There¡¯s going to be a serious pack meeting. ¡± The Luna said, her eyesnding once on me.


    Alpha Tyrion helplessly watched his mother leaving him and I saw how his jaw clenched when I touched his hand. His eyes had shifted to a yellow light again and he didn¡¯t look safe to be standing with.


    ¡°Go and show her the maids¡¯ chambers. ¡± Hemanded a young girl who bowed at him and then rolled her eyes when I gave her a smile.


    She didn¡¯t say anything much but just continued to walk further into the pce. I was amazed by the beauty this ce held because I had never seen such wealth in my entire life. No doubt they were the most powerful pack in the Northern areas. The chambers were small and filthy as I could many maids living together in a single room.


    ¡°Who¡¯s she? ¡± one of them asked as she saw me standing by the door.


    The other maid sighed, ¡± You have no idea what this bi**h did. She literally trapped Alpha Tyrion and made him mark her. ¡±


    They gasped and before they could hurt me, the maid said, ¡± And don¡¯t hurt her because Alpha has said so. ¡±


    They all lost their interest in me as soon as they got to know about Alpha¡¯s orders. I found a small corner in the room and sat down with my head hidden between my legs.


    I never wanted hatred from my own mate. And he was here ming me for everything I never did. How could I even attempt to do something so cruel?


    Hours passed with me sitting there all by myself. No one tried to initiate a conversation with me or whatsoever. I was happy that at least in this pack there was no such bullying like mine.


    ¡°Alpha Tyrion asked for your presence in his meeting room. ¡± I heard a maid say and the little sleep shrugged off my eyes.


    ¡®Maybe he wants to say sorry. ¡®Belinay mocked me.


    But I knew if he was calling for me then it would bring another bad news. I mentally prepared myself for another shock or misery.


    The meeting room was at the center of a huge corridor leading to various rooms. It had beautiful chandelier hanging above on the ceiling and the candles highlighted it¡¯s beauty even more. There were no sounds here. It was as if it was soundproof and no one could hear anything which was to be announced or discussed here.


    I knocked at his door and saw that there were Luna, His Lover, and another middle aged man who was sitting with a very angry face. When they spotted me, the ambience of the room shifted to dark. I could feel the pure hatred seeping out of them as they watched me.


    ¡°For this trash?! ¡± The middle aged man, who I thought was Alpha Jonathan shouted, pointing his finger at me.


    ¡°It was a deal. ¡± Alpha Tyrion said.


    Alpha Jonathan banged the table angrily, ¡± I don¡¯t care what it was! You could have challenged the Alpha Council. But no. Instead, you brought back a maid iming her as your mate. ¡±


    The old Luna was desperate to say something but Alpha Jonathan didn¡¯t give her any chance.


    ¡°Do you even know what you have done?! You nearly ruined my daughter¡¯s life. ¡±


    Ava began crying and her father hugged her. She hid her face in his chest.


    ¡°I will never ruin her life. She means the most to me. Like I said, once this deal is over I will mark Ava as my mate. ¡± Alpha Tyrion said.


    Alpha Jonathan shook his head, ¡± That would be toote. You can¡¯t change anything now. Ava is pregnant and you have a marked mate! ¡±


    The room fell silent and I clutched my gown tightly in my fists. The Luna stood up from her chair and hugged Ava who didn¡¯t look at her at all.


    ¡°How¡¯s that possible, Ava? ¡± Alpha Tyrion sounded so confused, ¡± It was three months ago¡­ I had been on visits all along till now. ¡±


    Ava wiped her face, ¡± So, you think I am lying! It¡¯s your child. ¡±


    The Luna tried to calm her down but Ava was not having any of it. She ran to Alpha Tyrion but her father stopped her from hugging her.Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter now because I have already arranged her mating ceremony with Alpha Kristian. He knows the truth and he is happy to be my son inw. After all he is going to get my pack and soldiers. ¡± He turned back, ¡± You will never get the crown because of your betrayal. ¡±


    As Alpha Jonathan dragged Ava back with him, she cried for Alpha Tyrion who wanted to stop her too but couldn¡¯t.


    ¡°This is such a mess. ¡± the old Luna said.


    ¡°I hate it! ¡± Alpha Tyrion screamed.


    I didn¡¯t know if I should stand there or leave him alone.


    ¡°Alpha¡­ ¡± I whispered.


    He shot his head up at me.


    ¡°You want a child! How could I forget that? Even if I have to live without my own!! ¡±


    I cried, ¡± I didn¡¯t mean to do this. Please, forgive me. ¡±


    I felt his hands wrapping around my neck, ¡± You will never be forgiven. Never. Neither you are going to get anything from me. You¡¯re just a maid to me who will get my seed. ¡°

 Another deal by elders

    ¡®When you don¡¯t know what love feels like, you ept whatever is thrown at you. ¡® ~


    Celine¡¯s POV:


    Alpha Tyrion had been ignoring me like a flu and his mom wanted to do nothing with me at all. I was sent back to another chamber, this time thankfully not the maids¡¯ rooms.


    The chamber was huge, royal and gave me a littlefort which I had beencking in my life. I never had a private room to myself but as I lied down on the bed, I realized I had no one here who would even want to talk with me.


    ¡®See, the problem is Alpha Tyrion isn¡¯t epting us as his mate. I really don¡¯t understand how his wolf can ignore us like that. As if we mean nothing to him. ¡®Belinay snorted angrily.


    I rubbed my forehead and closed my eyes. Everything was wrong about our mate bond. He shouldn¡¯t be forced to ept me. That was not his fault at all. And his girlfriend was pregnant! How was I supposed to live with that?


    I didn¡¯t want to be so selfish to ruin another woman¡¯s life and let a child suffer the consequences because of me. They were a perfect couple, waiting for a perfect family.


    My throat wobbled and the tears blinded my vision. The way my own mate treated me every time was so heartbreaking. In a world, where wolves prefer their fated mates over chosen ones, Alpha Tyrion proved that his love for his girlfriend was more than me and I was nothing but just a burden on him.


    Who was I after all? A maid, illiterate girl, crybaby and omega.


    Who was she? A princess, highly skilled, powerful and Alpha blood.


    Any sane man would choose her over me and I didn¡¯t even feel bad about it.


    Somebody knocked on the door and a maid entered with a tray of food in her hands.


    ¡°Your lunch. ¡± She muttered and left the room as soon as I got up.


    I didn¡¯t want to eat, had lost all the appetite. After covering myself with the nket, I cried. I cried until there were no more tears left.


    Someone woke me up and I hurriedly sat down on the bed. It was the Luna. She had a strange expression on her face. But I felt as if she wasn¡¯t angry or feeling disgusted by me. It could be a misunderstanding from my side because she hated me the very first moment we met.


    ¡°How are you feeling now? ¡± She asked.


    I cleared my throat to get rid of the fog, ¡± Much better, madam. I am extremely sorry for ruining everything. ¡±


    She raised her brows, ¡± No, you don¡¯t have to. I got to know about the truth and I feel so stupid that I believed those rumors. If Tyrion took your innocence and marked you then he ought to give you a name. ¡±


    I was surprised and pleased at the same time. But still fought the urge to smile.


    ¡°Was it consensual? ¡± She asked.


    My mind drifted to the night when I had removed my gown and pinched my nipples to attract him. I wanted him first and he was fighting the urge.


    ¡°Yes.¡± I whispered.


    She seemed a little confused about everything. Her brows furrowed and she stared at my face for a little longer.


    ¡°Listen, I know it¡¯s difficult for you too. But you should know that Tyrion and Ava has loved each other since they were pups. They were born just a day apart and has been inseparable since than. And now she¡¯s pregnant with his child yet Alpha Jonathan has announced her marking ceremony tomorrow. It¡¯s difficult. Believe me. ¡± She sighed.


    I bit my lip and controlled my tears. I had nothing to say.


    ¡°But in all this remember that you are a female and we respect each other. Don¡¯t try anything stupid to test Tyrion¡¯s patience. ¡±


    I nodded, ¡± I will always keep my mouth shut. ¡±? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    She wanted to say something more but then just stood up and walked to the door.


    ¡°Eat something ande to the meeting room after half an hour. ¡± She insisted and left the room.


    The food didn¡¯t help with my foul mood and the sour taste in my mouth but I still forced myself to chuck everything in. First because I didn¡¯t want to waste food and secondly because I knew they won¡¯t give me more food if I disrespect them.


    The dreadful meeting room. Would Alpha Jonathan be there too?


    I gulped down the saliva forming in my throat and nervously walked towards the meeting room. One thing which I liked about my stupid head was that it was really good at remembering directions. So, when I reached the meeting room, I took a deep breath first and then knocked on the door.


    ¡°Come in. ¡± It was the Luna.


    An instant relief fell on me because I somehow felt safe in her presence.


    But the sight of six elders all watching me intently as I entered the room, made the shivers run down my back. They were seated closely around Alpha Tyrion who had not even bothered to lift his head at my direction.


    ¡°Have a seat. ¡± The Luna said.


    I quietly sat beside her and the elders waited for a few minutes before they spoke to me.


    ¡°You do know that whatever is done should have never happened. ¡± One of them asked me and I nodded, ¡± But because you are marked and the known Luna to the pack you need to take on the responsibilities for the time being. ¡±


    Confusion dawned on me and I opened my lips to speak but they pointed a finger at me, telling me to keep my mouth shut.


    ¡°Because you did everything in your power to take this position, you need to show the pack that you are worthy of taking care of them. In return, you get to leave the pack as soon as your wish is fulfilled. But if you don¡¯t follow our rules then you will be banished without the child. ¡±


    Without my child?!


    ¡°I didn¡¯t agree to this. We just had a small deal. ¡± I whispered.


    The elder angrily mmed his hands on the table, ¡± I am not requesting you! You are supposed to prove yourself. So that we know that the one taking our heir is worthy of something. Or else why would we give our Alpha blood to someone who can¡¯t lead a pack? ¡±


    It was overwhelming for me. These pack rules. The qualities and Alpha blood.


    ¡°But that will be my child. ¡± I cried.


    ¡°Alpha must have been lenient about it but we know the first born from a marked mate will be powerful and our heir. We can¡¯t let you ruin our future. ¡±


    ¡°What do you all want? ¡± I nearly shouted.


    ¡°The thing is until the child is born you need to learn the Royal etiquette and prove yourself that you are capable of taking care of the child. After that, we will let the child decide once he/she turns 18 to either choose the pack or live with you. ¡±


    I wiped my tears and tried toprehend their words.


    ¡°What if I deny? What if I just want to live in the shadows? ¡±


    ¡°Then you will need to leave the pack without a child. ¡±


    Luna gave me sympathetic look but deep down I knew it was all her n because she would never allow her heir to leave just like that. They just wanted to mold my life ording to them.


    ¡°I agree. ¡± I answered.


    And Alpha Tyrion wasn¡¯t happy with my decision again but he said nothing. I realized he was drunk and still grieving for his lover.


    ¡°Alpha, please fulfill your promise as soon as possible. ¡± The elder told him.


    Alpha Tyrion finally looked at me.


    ¡°Wait for me in the chamber tonight.¡±

 Old chambers of Luna

    Celine¡¯s POV :


    ¡®I don¡¯t want to see his angry face again. It hurts me every time whenever he calls me names. ¡® Iined to Belinay who had been jumping with anger in my head.


    ¡®We should just run away from this pack.¡¯


    She was so straightforward and blunt with her response that I found myself waiting for her to finish her sentence with a ¡®Just kidding¡¯ note. But after a few minutes I realized she was serious about it.


    ¡®That¡¯s impossible. ¡® I blurted.


    ¡®Then there is justst option. It¡¯s either you leave this pack or try to make a ce in the pack. ¡® She answered.


    ¡®I never wanted a royal title. I am not going to fight for the Luna position. ¡®


    I heard her making snarling voices in my head and her attitude got on my nerves.


    ¡®I am talking about making a ce in Alpha Tyrion¡¯s heart. ¡®


    I instantly lost the connection with her and knew that she was screaming in my head to talk to me. But with all my might, I blocked her voices. She was dreaming too much. She didn¡¯t understand what that was supposed to mean. Her savage side thought everything was as easy as her wolf desires.


    But our human forms were different and had to follow more rules and obligations than the feral forms.


    Alpha Tyrion would be here and he would do what¡¯s needed for him to fulfill his side of the deal. He wouldn¡¯t even listen to whatever I had to say.


    But could I actually try to tell him? To try again. Maybe he would let me go and mark his girlfriend.


    Won¡¯t everything be back to normal?


    I froze when I heard voices outside the chamber and my hands began shaking uncontrobly. It wasn¡¯t that I was a coward but the fear of not knowing what would happen next was making me go crazy.


    Two maids walked in with an ugly expression on their faces.


    ¡°Did you think it was Alpha Tyrion? ¡± One of them mocked me.


    I shook my head, ¡± But I wasn¡¯t expecting anyone else to be here. ¡±


    They rolled their eyes almost in a sync, ¡± Alpha Tyrion has asked you to move to the old chambers of Luna by the pack outskirts. So, you need to follow us. ¡±


    Again? I had moved twice since the time I had been here. It was as if they couldn¡¯t make a spot for me here. But I wasn¡¯t in the position toin because at least I wasn¡¯t rotting in the basement like I used to be.


    Without entertaining them much, I followed two of them as they chatted with each other. There was a small carriage waiting by the doors and this made me a little worried.


    ¡°Is it too far away from here? ¡± I asked them.


    ¡°Yes, It¡¯s in the old royal chambers, the one which is not used now. It¡¯s deserted so maybe Alpha Tyrion doesn¡¯t want you to be included in the pack. ¡± She said and they giggled to each other.


    It gave me an eerie vibe but I was content that at least I wouldn¡¯t have to be an active member of the pack or listen to any of their rants.


    ¡®He is throwing us in the ruins. ¡® Belinay appeared forcibly in my head.


    ¡®It¡¯s good. ¡®


    I settled in the carriage and the maids ced the bags of clothes with me. But they didn¡¯t join me to the old chamber. Instead, they went on their ways and I was sent alone to my new ce.


    The air had turned cooler as the evening sun had spread it¡¯s rays all over the ce. The sweet scent of roses made me happy and the workers tirelessly cut the stems and gave a better design to the garden. The pack worked with a perfection and everybody had something to do. But in all, anyone could tell they were happy and none of them was forced to do anything they didn¡¯t want. And that was the reason why this pack was counted as one of the best and most developed packs in the Alpha Alliance Council.


    After around fifteen minutes of the carriage going with a high speed on the dirt road, we reached the old building. It was still beautiful and elegant but the non existence of someone living there made it look like ruins. The doors were still strong and beautiful even if covered with the webs and dirt. It wasn¡¯t huge like the new one. This must be the first royal chamber they made hundreds of years ago when the first Alpha had won thend. Yet, the carving on the marbles was so intricate and beautiful that anyone could still live here.


    The horsemen helped me to put my bags down on the ground and he opened the doors of the chambers, giving me the keys to keep with me.


    Without saying anything, he left with his carriage and I watched him vanish into the shadows. Once I realized I was alone, I held the bags in my hands and dragged them inside.


    Darkness. Cold. Humidity.


    I struggled to make my way into the hallway because the sunlight couldn¡¯t reach the floor here. I immediately ran to open the windows and it helped me to see the insides. Everything was covered with dust and white nkets wrapped themselves over all the furniture.


    They hadn¡¯t even bothered to clean it for me. But again, nobody had been expecting me here.


    I walked to the kitchen and tried to find the matchstick because there was no supply of electricity here.


    Most of the modern packs were built with the help of human innovations but the older buildings were yet to be upgraded and by the looks of this ce, there was no way it would ever be renovated.


    Surprisingly enough, I foundmps and candles in the drawers of the cupboard and ignited the fire. It felt much better after the hallway was illuminated properly. The cold air made it¡¯s way into the house and I had to close the windows.


    I looked around myself and was lost watching the paintings hanging by the wall. They were so beautiful and were mostly of the great wolves.


    After waiting for more than an hour, I was sure Alpha Tyrion wasn¡¯ting here. He might have thrown me here intentionally so that he wouldn¡¯t have to see my face all the time.


    Was it a punishment? To live without food and luxury.


    But didn¡¯t I live all my life in misery?? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    The loneliness made my thoughts to wander off to my old pack. The friend I left there and the worst man who imed to be my father.


    It would soon turn dark in a few hours and then I would need to hide under the covers like always. Darkness scared me more than any Alpha ever could. The shadows which seemed to taunt me often left unshakable thought in my head.


    What¡¯s my purpose? Did my parents leave me? Or Did they lose me?


    I wiped my tears and stood by the burning candle leaving the wax on the stand.


    If Alpha Tyrion thought this would scare me, this dark and dirty chamber then he was wrong. Because I had never wished for maids but a ce where nobody could make me think low about myself.


    This chamber was going to be my house for a long time and I would treat it the way it should be.


    So, I pulled my hair into a high bun and took the mop in my hand.


    ¡°Let¡¯s make it liveable. ¡± I said to myself.


    As I stood on the left most window in the North of the chamber, I realized I could see the pack house from here. Especially, Alpha Tyrion¡¯s chamber and his shadow was looming over the curtains.


    I saw the lights going off in the pack house and knew that Alpha Tyrion had gone to sleep. Good for him.


    It¡¯s better for me to clean the chamber than falling asleep and having nightmares.

 Crazy wolf and Ava’s child

    I am not angry just disappointed¡­.


    Alpha Tyrion¡¯s POV :


    ¡°She must be sent outside the pack borders. ¡± Beta Rufus said, entering the chamber.


    I looked up at him. He was looking a little tired and frustrated. His cheeks were flushed from anger.


    ¡°What happened? ¡± I asked.


    ¡°The pack is protesting against her and they don¡¯t want her to live in the reputed Luna chambers. ¡± He answered.


    I rubbed my forehead, tensed and worried after the series of unfortunate events happening since a few days.


    Ava was going to get marked by another man and my child¡­ They would take my child or worse kill it.


    ¡°Are you even listening to me? ¡± Beta Rufus asked again.


    I blinked in confusion, trying to understand what he meant. My head was all over the possibility of never seeing my child again. I couldn¡¯t do it. Even though I felt no connection to it, at all.


    I needed to ask Ava when she conceived it. Because thest time she came to me and requested to have sex was three months ago. I had to leave for the pack meeting and surveys the next morning and her sneaking into my chamber at midnight was a little off. I had never wanted to mate before the marking ceremony but she was insisting me to im her.


    ¡°Alpha¡­ They don¡¯t want her in the pack¡­ ¡±


    ¡°Then throw her in the old ruins and f**k off! ¡± I shouted.


    He was taken aback by my angry remark but bowed his head and left without saying anything.


    ¡®Ava is hiding something. Don¡¯t you think she felt a little different the first night than Celine? ¡® Sabre made a weird remark.


    ¡®What do you intend to say? Every woman is different and that girl must be pretending hard to be in pain and making those noises. Ava loves me, she wasn¡¯t in pain. ¡®


    ¡®I agree. I don¡¯t mean that Ava should have been crying out in pain but her first time seemed a more casual than it should have been. Like Celine was in¡­ ¡®


    ¡®Sabre, stop talking about that bad luck. It¡¯s all because of her. If she wouldn¡¯t have been here then I would have happily marked Ava and she wouldn¡¯t have to get embarrassed for getting pregnant. ¡®


    My fate was bound with that cunning maid who was now trying to be the Luna. I should have just given up on the position in the Alpha Alliance and showed those damn people that I loved my mate more than anything.


    ¡®Girlfriend¡­ She¡¯s not my mate. ¡® Sabremented.


    ¡®As if that maid is your fated mate! ¡®I shouted.


    ¡®Believe me or not but there¡¯s a peculiar scent in her body. But I can¡¯t put a finger on it. ¡®


    ¡®I think you¡¯re just falling over her because she is young and has those huge breasts. ¡®


    ¡®So, you noticed them too. ¡® Heughed and I shook my head.Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    There was no use in arguing with him. He was just a feral wolf who didn¡¯t have to follow certain guidelines. ording to him, he could fu*k anyone and it wouldn¡¯t matter.


    ¡®What about our child? ¡® I asked him.


    ¡®Don¡¯t worry. If it¡¯s ours then we can surely take it back. ¡®


    ¡®It is mine! My Ava doesn¡¯t even look at other men. ¡®


    I was so fed up with his suspiciousments on our girlfriend, the girl we grew up with. He had lost his mind and was trying to start a new life with the maid who was a very good seductress.


    ¡®Seductress? That girl hasn¡¯t even made her hair in days. Are you sure you don¡¯t find her attractive? ¡®


    ¡®Stop trying to make me think about her all the time, Sabre! I HATE her. Hate her existence and want her dea¡­ ¡®


    Sabre was hurt and gone before I could even finish saying the worst for her.


    Why was he trying to connect so much with her?


    My thoughts wandered back to Ava and my unborn. No way I was going to let them take it away from me. I quickly dialed Ava¡¯s phone number and it rang and rang. But she picked up my call on thest ring.


    ¡°Ava, how are you? Are you okay? I am extremely sorry, love. I never wanted it to go this way. Is our child safe? ¡±


    ¡°Tyrion. ¡± It was Alpha Jonathan, ¡± How dare you call my daughter at this hour? ¡±


    ¡± Please, Alpha Jonathan. Let me talk to her. Don¡¯t hurt my child. ¡±


    He scoffed, ¡± What do you think of me? I am not going to put my daughter¡¯s life in danger. I will let that child take birth and keep it as mine. You have no right over it! If you call again then I will announce a war on your pack. ¡±


    I heard the beep sound indicating the line was disconnected.


    At least my child would get a chance to live and have a better pack to his/her name. Even if I won¡¯t be a part of their life.


    I smelled mom¡¯s scent before she could enter the chamber.


    ¡°How are you, Tyrion? ¡± She asked.


    ¡°Feel like ki**ing myself. ¡±


    She gasped, ¡± No. Don¡¯t you say that! I love you. ¡±


    She hugged me and I melted into her embrace.


    ¡°Am I wrong, mom? ¡± I whispered, ¡± Did I just use those women? Am I a harasser? I am ashamed. ¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re not wrong. You did a mistake but nothing was in your hands. I know if you had known about Ava¡¯s pregnancy then you would have taken a better decision. But it wasn¡¯t in your hands. ¡±


    ¡°It was, mom. I could have¡­ given up my position. ¡±


    She smiled, ¡± But your dad had always wanted you to the king of all packs. You are an Alpha before anything. Also, true love never dies. I am sure everything will be back to normal once you have managed it. ¡±


    ¡°I will be the Alpha king. I don¡¯t need Alpha Jonathan¡¯s forces. ¡±


    ¡°And I wanted to advise you about the girl too. I know you¡¯re angry and hate her but she is a female and I don¡¯t want you to do something wrong with her. Do you understand what I mean? ¡±


    I sighed, ¡± I know and I am not going to force her just because she is bound to me now. If I find her nning something against me then I will put her on execution but would never force myself on her. ¡±


    She smiled, ¡± Oh, Ty. Moon Goddess knows you¡¯re special and she will never do anything bad with you. ¡±


    Once she was gone, I stood at the window and watched the stars. The brightest one, my father, watching over me.


    ¡°I will get the throne back¡­ ¡°

 Telling the truth

    Loving him is a sin; of that I am fully aware~


    Celine¡¯s POV :


    3 AM¡­ The clock struck again and I pushed the floor with my hands to help me get up. My back ached so badly and I winced when the swelling on my knee due to cold hurt me again.


    But all in well, I was done with the cleaning and if Luna Lorraine would try to find a particle of dust with a huge magnifying ss then she would certainly not find anything.


    The dining table was set, curtains cleaned and dried up, the floor shining, the cabs rearranged and the sheets changed in the rooms.


    I was exhausted and it wasn¡¯t because I had been cleaning and scrubbing the tiles but due to the fact that I had travelled miles away from my pack and hadn¡¯t gotten to sleep even for a minute.


    It was definitely weird but I did the more work than this in my pack daily without a rest for a single day. And the dreadful thought of doing everything all over again the next day like a job.


    My stomach growled from hunger but I didn¡¯t have anything to eat. I had checked everything out and was able to find some butter and cheese. But no other groceries.


    I stared at the ceiling above and tears welled up in my eyes. I turned to sleep on my left side and gulped the knot forming in my throat. My heart felt so heavy and full of sadness.


    No one thought about giving me a basic bread to eat.


    No one wanted me here.


    ¡®Why am I here Moon Goddess? Why don¡¯t you kill me? ¡®


    My eye lids felt so heavy and my vision went blurry. The night had grown darker and quieter by now.


    ¡®You¡¯re my special child. ¡® A soothing voice spoke to me but I couldn¡¯t open my eyes. I could feel a bright light around me but it all seemed like lucid dreaming. Even when someone touched my hair and wiped my tears off.


    Something made a loud noise outside and I rubbed my eyes as a yawn escaped my lips. It was dark outside and confusion dawned over my senses. I got up from the bed and felt that the aches were gone and I was feeling much better now.


    I checked outside my window but it was a small kitten hiding behind a huge vase. It was scared of me and I calmly patted it¡¯s head. It finally rxed and ran into myp.


    ¡°Are you scared, polly? ¡± I kissed her head.


    She meowed and hid her face in my neck. I took her in and saw that it was 9 PM at night.


    I slept the whole day! And didn¡¯t even wake up once.Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    The hunger was still pestering me but with no option I decided to sleep again. The kitten joined me in bed and slept by my side too.


    The next morning, I woke up at 10 AM. My stomach hurt as if I was punched hundred times and my mouth was dried and tasted if nothing. I had to eat something to keep me alive. Even if Alpha Tyrion hated me with all his will, I wouldn¡¯t starve to death.


    My kitten had been supporting me since the time she had joined me.


    ¡°Do you want to eat something? ¡± I asked her.


    I rechecked the cabs and shelves, hoping to find something to eat which I could have missed the first time.


    But it wasn¡¯t magic. If there was nothing, there won¡¯t be anything now too.


    ¡®Shift and hunt in the wild. ¡® Belinay announced.


    I would have done that only if I was strong enough to fight the rogues and not get in trouble again. But my wolf had the habit of living in a delusional world where she called herself a very trained warrior without any training.


    So, I went against her and tried to search for the food outside the chambers. There was a small garden which I had seen on my way here and I had seen some fruits too.


    ¡®Turn into werecow then. Because that¡¯s not how wolves survive in the wild. ¡® Belinay mocked me again.


    I plucked the tomatoes and potatoes happily and ran back to the chambers. The stove was old fashioned and I couldn¡¯t light it for more than five minutes but then I realized there was a knob which I had to turn. I put the pan on the me and fried the potatoes to light brown.


    Kitten had gone to eat something outside. She was habitual of living in the wild aspared to me.


    I filled a ss of water andid the dining table. The first bite felt like heaven to me and I finished everything in just two minutes.


    ¡®See, it was so tasty. ¡®


    ¡®For dinner, why don¡¯t you cook some grass? ¡® Belinay was angry.


    I had unpacked my bags and arranged them in the closet. So, I immediately went ahead and took a shower.


    I wore a yellow gown and dried my hair with the help of towel. After letting my hair open on my back, I checked my reflection in the mirror. I looked good and the sparkle of happiness was back in my eyes.


    If that¡¯s what Alpha Tyrion had nned for me then I was quite happy.


    I went downstairs to clean the dishes and froze in my steps when I saw Alpha Tyrion standing in the doorway watching everything with wide eyes. He scanned the ce carefully and his eyes settled on me.


    My cheeks flushed with embarrassment when his stare lingered for too long on my body. A little frown was formed on his forehead and he looked away from me only when I had cleared my throat.


    ¡°Good morning, Alpha. ¡± I said.


    He nodded and still looked around himself.


    ¡°Did you clean it yourself? ¡± He asked.


    ¡°Yes, I was bored and there was no food so¡­ ¡± I bit my lip and stopped talking.


    ¡± I brought you groceries. Did you eat anything? ¡±


    ¡°Yes, there were vegetables in the garden. I didn¡¯t face any problem at all. ¡±


    Belinay wanted to shift and kill me at this moment because of the way I was reacting. But I couldn¡¯t risk making him angry when he was in a good mood.


    I noticed the dark circles around his eyes and he looked like he hadn¡¯t slept for a few nights.


    ¡°Did you talk to Miss Ava about your child? ¡± I asked and my heart thumped in my chest. ¡± She loves you and she will never¡­ ¡±


    ¡± She was marked today by another man. It¡¯s over between us. ¡± He interfered.


    It was like a punch wasnded on my chest because he growled after telling me about her. He was angry, hurt and in pain.


    I walked closer to him. He was rubbing his forehead as in a way to calm himself down.


    ¡°Shall I make breakfast for you? ¡± I whispered and saw him clenching his jaw, ¡± I mean I cook delicious food. I promise you will like it. ¡±


    I thought he would hit me when he lifted his hand and I flinched. But he was pointing at the kitchen and the groceries.


    I didn¡¯t waste any time and ran to cook something for him. I decided to make bacon and egg, simple and tasty. All the time, my attention was on Alpha Tyrion who was just sitting on the same chair and hadn¡¯t even looked up. He was lost deep in his thoughts and smashed a vase on the floor angrily.


    My hands shook when I served him breakfast and stood at a distance. He took a bite, then two and I knew he loved it.


    ¡°Was it good? ¡± I asked.


    He closed his eyes. And his hand was on his head again.


    ¡°Maybe you should sleep. The headache will vanish. ¡± I said and he stared at me, ¡± I promise¡­ ¡±


    It was as if he was so lost that he listened to everything I said. Surprisingly, he followed me to the room. I covered him with a nket and drew the curtains.


    I sat on the chair beside the bed. I should just tell him now. He wasn¡¯t cruel or a tyrant who had tortured me.


    ¡°I was an orphan when my father took me with him. He hit me, punched me and called me names. Growing up, I never thought I would find anyone. But I wanted a family. I didn¡¯t know that man is so vile that he conspired against you. I never intended to be here. My father made me go into heat and spiked you¡¯d drink. If you still hate me then please let me go. ¡±


    I waited for an answer from him. But there was just silence.


    ¡°Alpha¡­ Alpha ¡± I nced at him and found out he was snoring peacefully.

 Trying for the pup

    ¡°I wish I could go back to the day I met you and just walk away.¡± ¨C


    Celine¡¯s POV:


    Kitten was back and snuggling on myp when I saw Alpha Tyrion approaching me. He had barely slept for two hours but looked much better. The redness was gone from his eyes and he looked handsome.


    I bit my inner cheek to stop myself from ring at him like that.


    ¡°How are you feeling now? ¡± I asked, hoping that he heard me when I had told him everything.


    ¡°There¡¯s no hot water supply here. Did you take a cold shower? ¡± He asked, checking the pipes.


    My cheeks burnt from embarrassment, ¡± It¡¯s not a problem, Alpha. ¡±


    He finally lifted his head to watch me properly. It was as if he was reading my face.


    ¡°Why are you pretending to be so nice? ¡± He asked.


    ¡± I am not pretending. I just want to tell you that whatever happened I¡­ ¡±


    ¡°Sshhh.¡±


    The silence felt so prolonged at the moment when he began walking towards me. He lifted my face by holding my chin.


    ¡°Don¡¯t talk about the past. I hate it when you bring it again and again as if it will change whatever you did. ¡±


    My heart pounded violently in my chest and it became difficult for me to focus on his words. Couldn¡¯t he feel the vibrations of our mate bond?


    What was it which was holding him back? Because I could see his wolf eyes and the excitement his feral side felt.


    ¡°I will not talk about our past, I promise.¡±


    His cellphone rang, echoing in the chambers.


    A wave of anger shed through his cheeks when he saw the name on the screen. It was my father. I tried to keep my eyes locked on the wall behind him but he growled when the phone won¡¯t stop ringing.


    ¡°What do you want now? ¡± Alpha Tyrion roared into the phone.


    My cunning father must have said something mean which made him angrier.


    ¡°You think I am that stupid! Whatever you mean by that.. . ¡±


    He put the phone on speaker, ¡± Speak. ¡±


    ¡°Hello? ¡± I spoke.


    ¡°Are you living like a Luna already that you forgot your poor dad? ¡± Alpha Tyrion took a sharp breath in and the irritation clouded his face.


    ¡°No, it¡¯s not that. ¡±


    ¡°Listen, don¡¯t let those arrogant royals ruin your motive. Get pregnant! ¡±


    I gasped and Alpha Tyrion disconnected the call. He was fuming with anger and I wanted to hide away from him.


    ¡°How could I forget the great motive? I need to get you pregnant! ¡±


    I shook my head, ¡± I¡­ please. ¡±


    His eyes shone as if he was running a fever but in reality it was all his anger at me.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go. I don¡¯t have a full day for you. ¡±


    He grabbed my arm and nearly dragged me with him upstairs to the bedroom. He locked the door and let go of my hand, leaving a branch like mark on my wrist.


    ¡°On the bed. ¡± I didn¡¯t move from my spot, ¡± Now! ¡±N?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    Tears slid down on my cheeks yet I had to follow hismand. He drew the curtains and blew out the candles. It turned dark in the room and I could only make out his shadow walking towards me. With a swift motion, he made me lie down on the bed.


    ¡± Do you want to do this now? ¡± He asked, not touching me, ¡± Because it¡¯s inevitable. The earlier, the better. ¡±


    He asked for my permission¡­ Even when my father said those things about him.


    I tried to think rationally and knew he was right. His mate got pregnant just after the first time and there were high chances that I was already pregnant or two times would secure the possibility of my pregnancy more.


    ¡°Yes, Alpha. ¡±


    I heard him unzipping his pants, my heart pounding nearly in my throat. He hadn¡¯t removed a single piece of clothing from his body or mine. The gown was toorge and as he tried to lift it up, it got stuck just on knees and made a huge ball of clothes between us.


    Missionary was not going to happen.


    I nervously gulped the saliva, thinking what if he asks me to get on my four like La told me when her boyfriend had done it during a party.


    No way I was going to do that.


    His hands slid between my thighs and he didn¡¯t touch my skin but just the inner tes of the gown to roll them up.


    ¡°F**k! ¡± He muttered angrily when it didn¡¯t work.


    ¡°Turn on your left side. ¡± He said.


    I quickly turned and my back faced him. He lifted the gown slowly and positioned himself somehow. But there was too much clothing and the room was dark and everything seemed so messy.


    He wasn¡¯t going to touch me, so I had to take the first step because it was so awkward. I pushed him slightly away and sat down to remove the extrayers of the gown. Now, just the think lingerie like silky set remained on my skin. I got back in the same position like before on my left. By mistake, he touched my naked arm and took his hand away as if a current was running through my blood.


    ¡°Lift your leg. ¡± He whispered.


    I had no idea how he was going to do it but it was better if I could just listen to his orders. He kept his mouth miles away from my body and neck as if it would be a sin if he kissed me.


    He had kissed me when he was under the influence of that drink and even marked me but things were different now. He somehow touched the mark on my neck and I shivered.


    ¡®Please, fu**k us mate¡­ ¡® Belinay purred.

 Special moments

    ¡® I love dreaming because in dreams you¡¯re actually mine. ¡® ~


    Celine¡¯s POV :


    I felt shivers running down my spine when his cold hands touched my thighs. He had to finally give in the disgust and let our skins match. I felt his tip touching my opening and held the breath in my throat. With one swift motion, he entered me and I flinched with pain.


    I wasn¡¯t wet because of the mess which we had to clear before starting it out.


    He waited for me to get ready for him and let me adjust myself ording to his girth. I could feel the change in his breathing too. But he was controlling the emotions to not take hold of him anyhow.


    It might be dark and we had lining of clothings between us, yet I could feel the arousal of my pu**y. I arched my back when I was ready for more.


    He thankfully understood by my motions and gripped the headboard first. The slow pration and the immense care he was showing me, brought out a moan from my lips. His co**k twitched inside me at my reaction and I wanted to kiss him with everything in me.


    ¡°It¡¯s not supposed to be pleasure. ¡± He said, angrily.


    The illusion of the love and softness of his hands broke and I was dragged back to reality which made the pleasure brewing in my belly go away.


    Alpha Tyrion gripped the tightly and lifted his legs a little above the sheets. Before I knew, he was banging me like a stallion who didn¡¯t care about emotions and love making. He just needed his release. The release of his seeds into my ungrateful womb so that he could get rid of me and never touch me again. But could I live without his warm body when I knew how he tasted like?


    I bit my lower lip and covered my mouth to stop any moans escaping this time because I didn¡¯t want him to get more irritated with me.


    The bed was old and creaked every second with our movement. He savagely f**ked me and I could feel the heat radiating from his face and the sweat dripped from his cheeks on my neck.


    His body spasmed and he groaned, mming himself into me for thest time. As soon as he was done, I saw him rushing inside the bathroom to take a shower.


    I pulled the gown down and wiped myself with the tissues from the drawer. My legs were still shaking as an after effect but the fire in me was still on. It made me ache for more, something which I had experienced with just Alpha Tyrion and now he was not giving me that.


    A release. But that was too much to ask for him. After all, we just had to wait for me to get pregnant.


    I heard the door of the bedroom being mmed shut and knew that he was gone again.


    After taking a shower, I decided to walk outside in the garden. It was the only beautiful things in this ce which give me peace and didn¡¯t judge me for who I was. But to my surprise, I found Alpha Tyrion in the garden.


    The blush crept on my cheeks when I recalled what we did just a few minutes ago. He must have noticed me behind him and turned his head towards me.


    ¡°You will stay here but you need to be in the pack too. The elders have hope that you will prove yourself and I want you to do whatever it takes to make them trust you so that they let you have the kid. ¡±


    A bitter feeling developed in my heart as I noticed how uninterested he was in my life or the future child¡¯s wellbeing.


    ¡°I will do everything to leave as soon as possible. ¡± I answered.


    He nodded, ¡± Let¡¯s go to the pack. ¡±? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    I saw the horse grazing in the corner and looked around to find a carriage or a car.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you use car? I mean the man took me here in the carriage too. ¡± I asked, getting genuinely curious.


    ¡°We don¡¯t use cars in the pack because it keeps the technology out of the gates. It¡¯s always good to be more attached to the nature. ¡± He said.


    So, were we going to ride the same horse?


    Well, the answer was yes because he helped me to sit after him and kicked it¡¯s belly before it ran across the fence. I kept myself from holding him even though I was really scared to fall down. I had no habit of a reckless horse riding along someone else. But somehow, we reached the pack borders safely and he told me to walk to the main building from there.


    I climbed down and slowly made my way to the main royal building while he went in another direction. The pack members gave me mean looks and whispered to each other about me. But I knew that was fairlymon for them.


    The Luna was waiting for me in the chambers and there were other women with him too.


    ¡°Hurry up. We have a small reunion in the packs of the North because Prince Elrond has finished his training and will be given the position of Alpha for his pack. ¡± She told me.


    Nothing made sense to me because I didn¡¯t know who the prince was or after how many years he was back. But if she had told me about it then I would definitely join them without anyins.


    ¡± I should get ready. But I didn¡¯t bring any dress here. ¡±


    ¡± It¡¯s totally fine. You will be introduced as the Luna of our pack so I will send the maids to help you get ready for the party. If you need anything else, just let me know. ¡± She smiled and ordered two maids to help me.


    Why were they introducing me as the Luna? I wouldn¡¯t be taking part in any of those activities or Familiarities like others.


    The maids didn¡¯t talk trash about me because they were too busy while choosing something good for me to wear.


    ¡± Do you know Ava will join the party too? ¡± One of them whispered to the other when they thought I was busy changing my dress.


    ¡± How will Alpha Tyrion react? ¡± Another one asked.


    What? Why was Ava joining the party? She would definitely try to kill me or maybe Alpha Tyrion would start hating me more after seeing her.


    Oh, Goddess!

 Dinner night and Ava

    Alpha Tyrion¡¯s POV:


    Her moans, her soft curves and the pleasure¡­ Why couldn¡¯t I keep my mind off her? I mmed the file shut which included the names of rogues joining the pack. I couldn¡¯t concentrate on anything. Whenever I tried to put my focus on work, her soft features shed across my eyes.


    What was wrong with me? Was my love to Ava so weak that another cunningdy took my focus?


    There was something in the way she behaved around me and her voice which seemed to sound so sweet that it made me feel like I was listening to a melody.


    ¡®It¡¯s okay if you like her. Remember, we have never been intimate with anyone else other Ava but that was your first time and you messed it. ¡® Sabre jumped in my mind with his more theories.? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    ¡®I don¡¯t like her, Sab. ¡® I muttered angrily.


    The maid entered my office chamber with an invitation letter in her hands. I had a slight idea as to what it was. But i genuinely didn¡¯t want to attend it. First of all, I wasn¡¯t in good terms with the pack, and secondly Ava would be there too with her so called mate.


    ¡°Alpha, Luna is ready too. Would you like me to tell her something else? ¡± She asked.


    ¡°No, nothing. ¡± I answered.


    Luna? Goddess! She didn¡¯t know anything about the pack cultures and how to act more professionally like the elite she-wolves. What if anyone would announce that she was just a maid and I was forced to take her?


    It seemed that after she hade to my life, everyday was a struggle and came with new difficulties. But whatever it was, I had to keep going because I couldn¡¯t stay hidden in the pack or else it would affect my chances for the throne.


    After finishing two more tasks, I mentally pushed myself to get ready and take the girl with me. As per my orders, she was already waiting for me in the car. Mom had been trying to act normal after the series of bad incidents but deep down she was worried and scared for the future.


    The first thing which I noticed when I sat in the car was her scent. It was so attractive and always made me go hard in my pants. But I was seated in the front seat with the driver and couldn¡¯t see her face. A voice in the back of my head forced me turn my head around and get a glimpse of her. Just for a second. But I didn¡¯t want to look dumb in front of her so kept myself from looking around in the car.


    ¡± Shall we, Alpha? ¡± The driver asked before igniting the engine. I nodded and the car made it¡¯s way out of the pack borders.


    It was as if there was an itch in the back of my head. I wanted to get a look of how she looked.


    ¡®Then, turn around. ¡® Sabre said.


    Ava¡­ I saw Alpha Kristian¡¯s car parked outside the venue and my fists clenched angrily. He was already here and I had to meet them.


    The driver parked the car in the slot avable for us and I got out to open the door for Celine. I couldn¡¯t act rough with her or else there would be more rumours.


    And finally I saw her. In the Navy blueced gown and a red lipstick shining on her lips. She was beautiful, no doubt but was more cunning than anyone I had ever known.


    ¡°Behave yourself in the party. ¡± I whispered in her ear.


    She walked after I held her hand and the guards bowed before me as we entered the party hall. There were many Alphas, some friends while others just the pure rivals who didn¡¯t even pretend to like me. The disgust was visible on their faces and they began whispering to each other like a group ofdies gossiping about a hot topic.


    ¡°Wee, Alpha Tyrion and his newly mated Luna. ¡± The Beta of the pack, Noah, greeted me and his eyes loomed over Celine for a little longer than being just a curious nce.


    ¡°Thank you. ¡± I said, breaking the eye contact between them.


    Alpha Elrond was meeting every person and when his eyesnded on me, a smirk formed on his lips.


    Heck, we were rivals since childhood. He took a better training in the Annual camps in various packs whereas I had to take over the pack early on after my father died. We were of the same age yet he got to enjoy more youthful days than me.


    ¡°Tyrion! And Ava¡­ ¡± He made a face, ¡± Sorry, I forgot Ava is with Alpha Kristian. It was a habit to see you both together everywhere. ¡±


    I knew what he was trying to do and didn¡¯t want to y along his dirty games, ¡± That¡¯s okay. Things happen in life. Congrattions for the title. ¡±


    He wasn¡¯t happy that I hadn¡¯t tried to fight him but before he could say something else to provoke me, someone called him thankfully because I wasn¡¯t going to keep my mouth sealed if he was going to insult me.


    ¡± Enjoy the party. ¡± He told Celine and came closer to me, ¡± She¡¯s hot though. ¡± And left with a wink.


    Unintentionally, I found Ava with Kristian who was looking at me already and was so angry because of the fact that I had held Celine¡¯s hand. I wanted to talk to her, ask her if she was happy. But talking to her in front of everyone would mean an insult to Alpha Jonathan which he wouldn¡¯t like.


    The Old Alpha, Alpha Jeffery, announced dinner for everyone and the servantsid the table. Celine was excited to be in the party as I could see from her face. She was continuously looking around to see the luxurious decorations in the hall.


    ¡°Are you hungry? ¡± I asked her because I was in no mood to stay here till dinner. I had done my responsibility of showing up here and just wanted to get out of this ce.


    ¡± Yes. ¡± She said with a smile.


    But then I decided to enjoy the dinner. After all, she wasn¡¯t disturbing me and had been behaving generously all night.


    We seated on the middle chairs and to my bad luck Ava and Kristian were on the chairs in front of us. Kristian gave me a dirty look and his hand rested over Ava¡¯sp.


    Fu**k! I wanted to kill him for this.


    The waiters served the dinner and I just took a ss of wine. Celine was happy with the food and I was content that at least she got to eat something good today after starving yesterday.


    Around fifteen minutester, I saw Ava gesturing me something with her eyes and hands and somehow I knew she wanted me to follow her. But that was risky and moreover, I didn¡¯t want to insult the mark Celine was carrying by going after Ava tonight. Ava was mated to someone else and we needed to respect that.


    Everyone stood up after dinner and music boomed loudly in the air. Ava was still signalling me to meet her and I chose to give in.


    ¡± Stay here. I will be back. ¡± I told Celine.


    Ava was waiting for me in the corridor and hugged me like a baby as soon as she saw me.


    ¡± No, Ava. Stay away. ¡± I tried to keep myself far away from her.


    ¡± I hate him, Ty. Please save the baby and me. ¡°

 Fated mates support each other

    ¡®If someone doesn¡¯t fight to keep you, never fight yourself to stay with them. ¡®


    Celine¡¯s POV :


    The party was held in the most luxurious ce I had ever been to. All the rich Alphas and their Lunas were discussing some ns and I was not included in it. After dinner, I started to look for Alpha Tyrion who had gone somewhere without informing me first.


    ¡®I don¡¯t see Ava here. ¡®Belinay muttered.


    Something didn¡¯t feel right about that because she was right as I could see that Alpha Kristian was looking worried and angry too. He had been looking around for her and our eyes matched. He realized that Alpha Tyrion was not by my side and his eyes narrowed at the possibility which must have crossed his mind.


    I needed to find Alpha Tyrion because if he was caught with Ava, then it would be more problematic for him. I really didn¡¯t want any more mishaps at this moment.


    I looked around in the party hall and saw how everyone reacted whenever I made contact with them by mistake. Even the maids didn¡¯t help me when I tried to ask them about Alpha Tyrion. They made fun of me when I crossed paths with Ava.


    ¡± Everyone can see the difference between them both except Alpha Tyrion. ¡± One of them whispered too loudly.


    This time I wanted to stop and look them in the eye to shut their mouths. But the realization that it was not the worth hit me. Even if I would start a fight with them, who was going to support me? No one, for sure.


    Alpha Tyrion was still missing and I was getting more worried if he was found with Ava. Alpha Kristian had asked his men to look around the party hall and he was telling the other Alphas who looked furious too. Something clicked in my mind when I saw the dark storage room in the corridor.


    They could be there because the ce was full of people and it was the only room which was not upied.


    I hurriedly walked to the room but was toote because Alpha Kristian had barged in with other Alphas who switched on the lights revealing Ava on Alpha Tyrion¡¯sp kissing his face like a starving fish. I gripped the sides of my gown as my heart started to thunder inside my chest.


    ¡°What the fuck do you think you¡¯re doing with my mate? ¡± Alpha Kristian roared and Ava immediately jumped to his side like an innocent woman.


    Alpha Tyrion fixed his shirt, ¡± It¡¯s not what you think. I was just talking to her. ¡±


    A furious Alpha Kristian hurled his closed fist towards Alpha Tyrion who caught his hand without any effort from his side. He looked angry, furious enough to kill anyone. His eyes had already shifted to the feral form, his wolf trying to take over.


    ¡°Look, I told you that I am not interested in her anymore! ¡±


    Everyone went silent and Alpha Kristian smirked wildly looking at me.


    ¡°Yes, why would you be interested in the princess anymore? You have gotten the most powerful and beautiful mate. ¡±


    I instantly felt like crying when the focus of insults turned at me out of nowhere. Ava flicked her hair arrogantly and narrowed her eyes while her eyes roamed over me.


    Alpha Tyrion clenched his fists, ¡± Don¡¯t drag her in this mess. ¡±


    My wolf jumped with excitement when we saw our mate supporting us through the tough time. He could have just ignored the way they were talking about me but instead he took a stand against them.


    ¡°She, a maid, with no authority, is what you deserve, Tyrion! The Goddess had never nned something great for you. If you think that Ava will go back to you after everything then you¡¯re wrong. ¡±


    Before I knew, Alpha Tyrion growled and punched him straight in the guts. With his other arm, he swooped me to the left and got ready to defend himself against Alpha Kristian. The ambience of the party hall changed and the Alphas turned on their alert instincts. All of them sided with Alpha Kristian and threatened Alpha Tyrion.


    ¡°Back off, Tyrion! ¡± Alpha Noah shouted.


    ¡°Do you want to start a war? ¡± Another one added.


    Alpha Tyrion didn¡¯t bulge from his spot, ¡± If anyone happens to insult my mate again, I will burn all the fifty kingdoms without giving it a second thought. ¡±


    The tension increased between them to such a point where Alpha Tyrion had already started to shift in his full form and Alpha Kristian¡¯s fangs were on disy. No one was willing to get into the mess and I knew it was going to be a huge fight for no significant reason. Ava was just watching me with so much disgust in her eyes that at some point I felt that she was not interested in anything other than me. The growls grew louder from both sides and surprisingly none of the men present there was on our side.


    Alpha Tyrion stood inches away from him, ring right into his eyes with so much anger that terrified a few Alphas.


    ¡®All this because of us¡­ ¡® Belinay cheered in my head.Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    ¡®You¡¯re crazy. This violence may excite you but I don¡¯t want to be involved in a war.¡¯


    A loud growl erupted in the hall and everyone focused on Alpha Jonathan who had just walked in with his Beta. He didn¡¯t look happy with all the mess and stood between Alpha Tyrion and all the Alphas.


    ¡± Can you ever stop making everything so difficult? ¡°He roared angrily.


    ¡± It¡¯s not me who started this. ¡± Alpha Tyrion answered.


    Alpha Jonathan raised his brows and mocked him with his superior stare.


    ¡°You should start to respect the great Alphas who are going to participate in the challenge for The Throne. You are not even qualified for that. ¡± Alpha Jonathan said, looking at me.


    Alpha Kristian hugged Ava a little, ¡± Exactly, for the participation everyone needs a Luna who is strong enough to lead the obstacles ande out as victorious. And I have the princess who¡¯s the most powerful wolf. ¡±


    Alpha Tyrion instantly lost his anger and pain reflected in his eyes. I knew that the Throne meant so much to him and now he couldn¡¯t even participate to because of me


    Something fueled inside my heart and my wolf howled angrily.


    ¡®We are not weak. I want to participate, Celine. ¡®She said.


    The motivation was flowing through my veins and I clenched my jaw. Alpha Tyrion had held my hand to take me out of the party. They all smirked to each other, knowing that he lost it. He had been fighting alone and I knew mates were supposed to support each other.


    He was my fated mate even if he didn¡¯t know it yet.


    ¡°We are participating. Please send the module to the pack. ¡± I announced with confidence which even shocked me.


    His grip tightened on my hand and he whispered, ¡± You have no idea about it. ¡±


    ¡°What did the maid announce? ¡± Ava said, looking around.


    I took a sharp breath, ¡± I, Luna Celine, along with Alpha Tyrion announce that we are participating in thepetition to the throne. ¡±


    Alpha Tyrion watched me intensely and our eyes locked in each other for the longest I could feel. It was enough to make Ava run away shouting and screaming at everyone. The adrenaline didn¡¯t stop flowing even now and my eyes shone with hope. No one said anything after that.


    ¡°See you in the Competition then. Alpha Kristian said to Alpha Tyrion.


    He smirked, ¡± I don¡¯t need a Luna to beat you up. ¡±


    Once out, Alpha Tyrion opened the door of the car for me. He bent down and his hot breath fell on my neck. I waited for the sweet words and praisesing out if his lips.


    ¡°You dumb girl. Why did you say that?! ¡± He muttered angrily.

 Offer for training

    ¡®He taught me how to love but not how to stop. ¡® ~


    Celine¡¯s POV :


    Alpha Tyrion red at me, waiting for an answer. I gulped the saliva down my throat as to find words to calm him down.


    ¡°You deserve the throne¡­ ¡± I whispered.


    He raised his left brow suspiciously, ¡± And you don¡¯t want that to happen. ¡±


    I shook my head, ¡± I will do my best to be on your side forever. ¡±


    He mmed the door of the car angrily and before getting in the seat he muttered, ¡± I don¡¯t want you by my side. ¡±


    ¡®Show him that you don¡¯t need his approval. ¡® Belinay roared inside my chest.


    I had to cut off my contact with her because again she wasn¡¯t in her right senses. Maybe I shouldn¡¯t have actually listened to her. It was always her, the adrenaline, her attitude towards tough situations which put me in turmoil all the time.


    Why couldn¡¯t she understand that we were not strong enough to take such huge decisions? We were the wolves who everyone threw at the bottom of the rankings, born to be ves and getting insulted by the Alphas.


    Moon Goddess hated me too because she didn¡¯t give me the pleasure of a family, let alone anything special for me. I had never expected to be alive and yet my luck always gave me fake hope by putting me in a pack and thenter giving me a mate as the Alpha.


    My lips quivered as the wave of building up emotions hit me hard. I tried my best to hold the tears but yet it was impossible when all the thoughts started doing rounds in my head.


    ¡°Why the hell are you crying? ¡± Alpha Tyrion asked, his voice sounded cold and rude.


    My grip on the gown tightened and I instantly wiped off the tears, shaking my head I came in eye contact with him through the mirror.


    ¡°Speak.¡± He said sternly.


    ¡°I don¡¯t like it when you insult me. ¡± I managed to speak.


    His eyes widened with something unreadable, it wasn¡¯t shock or anger. When no such response came from him after my revtion, I decided to watch outside the streets of the beautiful pack.


    Almost everyone had a good car, a branded and luxurious one. This pack was so ahead of everyone and it was all because of Alpha Tyrion who had worked day and night for his people. As an Alpha, he had framed rights and punishments almost identical to those of human world. Yet a more cruel than them.


    ¡°If you feel insulted, then try to do something so that I start respecting you a little. ¡± Alpha Tyrion said not meeting my gaze when the car halted in front of the Pack house.


    Would I have to walk to the Old Luna¡¯s chambers?


    ¡°Do you need an extra invitation to follow me? ¡± Alpha Tyrion asked, clenching his jaw.


    I hurriedly ran after him as his pace quickened when he found Luna in the hallway. Her warm smile made my heart flutter with the emotions of having a mother. But in reality, she wasn¡¯t mine.


    ¡°I heard about the participation. ¡± She said.


    Alpha Tyrion rubbed his forehead, ¡± This over confident omega jumped in. I can¡¯t believe this. How dare she? ¡±


    He turned up towards me with a rage in his eyes and I backed off to save myself from any ping my way.


    ¡°Tyrion! Get away from her. ¡±


    His eyes showed the fierce yellow and a snarl left his mouth. But eventually, he calmed down.


    I trembled at the thought of his fury against me. Was he trying to control his rage all the time in the car?


    ¡°I am so d and proud of Celine for taking a part in thepetition to the throne. She is brave enough to shut them up. You both will win for sure. ¡±


    Alpha Tyrion grinded his teeth together, making himself gentle in front of his mother.


    ¡°But mom, how will she participate? You know the great Lunas and the difficult tasks which are to be passed to get in the top wolves rank. She¡¯s incapable of doing that. But I will try my best to eliminate the rivals. ¡±


    Belinay was bing rebellious day by day as his words insulted her again. She had always considered herself as one of the strongest wolves. But I could see the future disying before my eyes when the kingdoms would make fun of us after the defeat.


    ¡°You should give her a chance. Train with her, Tyrion. Teach her something. She definitely will find a special skill hidden inside her. ¡± She smiled at me.


    Alpha Tyrion rolled his eyes like it was the most ridiculous thing he had ever heard of. Even I believed, I would only make a fool of myself by practicing with him.


    ¡°You are right. Thepetition still have around two weeks. I want to make her regret over her decision. ¡±


    His eyes showed no mercy just pure rage as he asked me, ¡± Would you practice with me tomorrow early morning? ¡±


    What did I get myself into?


    ¡°Yes¡­ ¡±


    A wild smile settled on his face after my affirmation. He asked the maids to show me the guest chamber for tonight. Because he didn¡¯t want to waste any second in the morning.N?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    ¡®Why did we jump into the mess? ¡® I screamed in my head.


    ¡®It¡¯s not a mess. Consider it as your only chance to rebuild the self- respect which we have lost. ¡® Belinay snarled.


    ¡®But how? I have never touched a sword in my whole life. I don¡¯t even know any war skills. ¡® I cried out of helplessness.


    She growled, ¡®Stop crying over this now. Always remember that fighters are born, not made. ¡®


    Before I could argue that we were not born fighters, she shut off the mind- link and slept in the darkness of my intuition.


    I stared at the ceiling for nearly two hours. Every time I tried close my eyes, the vision of tomorrow¡¯s practice scared the life out of me. My eyelids turned heavy and I dozed off after crying myself to exhaustion.


    ¡°Get up. ¡±


    A maid shook me from my sleep and I rubbed my eyes, throwing my arms in desperation to catch more sleep.


    ¡°Alpha Tyrion is waiting for you in the practice grounds. ¡±


    I snapped my eyes open throwing the sheets off my body. It was still dark outside and cold air made it¡¯s way into the room.


    ¡°I will be there in five minutes. ¡± I told her and quickly ran to take a shower.


    I messed up everything in a hurry and the gown fell into the tub filled with water.


    ¡°Dammit! ¡±


    After wrapping the towel around my body which was barely covering my breasts, I stepped out of the bathroom only toe face to face with Alpha Tyrion.


    His gaze fell on my wet thighs and the mount of my cleavage.


    ¡°I¡­ I was justing¡­ ¡± I stammered.


    He could smell my arousal and I noticed the bulge in his pants.


    ¡°Wear this. ¡± He handed me a shirt and a pant with a belt and space for holding the sword.


    I walked slowly to grab the clothes and while trying to keep my bnce, the towel fell on the floor.


    ¡°Hmmm.¡± He sighed as his hands touched my waist.


    ¡°How about we practice for the child first? ¡± He asked, lifting my chin up.


    What was wrong with him and his changing attitude towards me?

 Training and the Truth

    Love is the absence of judgment~


    Celine¡¯s POV :


    His fingers brushed past my cheek while his hot breath fell on my ear lobes. My naked body rubbed against his clothes and his erection felt right against my wet pussy.


    ¡°Why are you shaking? ¡± He asked, looking into my eyes.


    I licked my lips, ¡± I¡­ It¡¯s cold. ¡±


    He raised his brow, ¡± That¡¯s it? ¡±


    I gave him a slight nod and tried to take proper breaths because I had almost forgotten how the process of breathing being so closed to him. When his mouth came closer, I closed my eyes shut. But instead of his lips, I felt the warm cloth on top of my shoulder. When I opened my eyes again, he was giving me a hard look.


    ¡°What did you think? Your tricks are not going to work on me. ¡± His jaw hardened as he stared down at me.


    I shook my head, ¡± I don¡¯t know what you mean¡­ ¡±


    His smirk widened, ¡± You thought you could seduce me so that you wouldn¡¯t have to go for the training. But sorry to burst your bubble, you¡¯reing with me. Now, hurry up and get dressed! ¡±


    His words made no sense to me but still I didn¡¯t get into an argument.


    ¡°You were the one who barged in the room, not me. ¡±


    I ended up saying while I stood behind him. He heard it and turned his head in my direction but took sharp breath in and didn¡¯t answer me. With shaking hands, I pulled the shirt on my shoulders and while trying to button it up, I missed the upper ribbon type of arrangement.N?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    ¡°What¡¯s it? I don¡¯t know how to wear this dress. ¡± I said, frustrated by the tangled clothes.


    Alpha Tyrion furrowed his brows and narrowed his eyes.


    ¡°First of it¡¯s not a dress and secondly, you need to button it up and then tie the belt around your waist. ¡± He used his hands to make me understand.


    I tried again and it ended up looking like a clown¡¯s costume. He sighed and came closer. But he had a smile on his face.


    ¡°How are you even wearing it? It¡¯s not so confusing¡­¡± Heughed a little while unbuttoning it. His hand touched my breast while he put the edges together and he instantly looked at me.


    ¡°Just get dressed quickly. ¡±


    This time I was able to wear it up properly. Without wasting any other second, I followed him outside the room to the exit of the pack house.


    A little sunlight was visible now yet the cold, dark atmosphere gave me chills. There wasn¡¯t anyone present outside other than the two of us. Not even the soldiers to guard the borders.


    ¡°These are not the borders. ¡± He rified my doubt.


    He checked some equipments in the practice area and then took out around ten sharp arrows, checking them out by running his fingers on top of them.


    ¡°Stand over there. ¡± He said, pointing at the side of the fence behind me.


    With Belinay rolling inside me with excitement because of the little steamy moment we shared and the adrenaline for finally practicing with her mate, I tried to keep everything in control. I couldn¡¯t show him how my wolf wasn¡¯t scared or feeling nervous about the training and she was so excited to show him whatever she had been nning for so long.


    ¡°Shall I grab a sword or something? ¡± I asked when he didn¡¯t give me any weapon.


    He had a wide smile while ying with the arrows in his hand. Without any warning, one of the arrow was thrown in my direction. I was frozen at my ce but before the arrow could touch me I was already on the other side.


    Alpha Tyrion didn¡¯t like how I saved myself so he begun throwing each of them one after another. I was able to take a shield out of the wall and dodged his every strike. His temper was growing worse now because he wasn¡¯t able to make me cry out of despair.


    His eyes changed to feral form and his fangs shone brightly in the sun light.


    ¡°Now, save yourself! ¡± He growled before prancing high into the air and throwing three arrows at me.


    Something flipped inside my soul, maybe it was Belinay, but somehow I was able to jump high enough to catch each of them arrows and throw them in his direction.


    My growl echoed in the silent ground and Alpha Tyrion was able to get away from those attacks yet he looked dumbfounded.


    I could feel my heart beating loudly in my chest and my cheeks burnt with anger. My fists were clenched together and I still waited for more danger to tackle with.


    ¡°How did you? ¡± He asked, looking at me as if I was a crazy woman.


    ¡°I just defended myself. ¡±


    His brows were furrowed together, ¡± What¡¯s wrong with your eyes? ¡±


    I blinked twice but nothing seemed too different. I had no clue as to what he was referring to. I decided to get a glimpse in the pond water and a gasp escaped my mouth.


    One of was Green while the other was Violet.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know anything about it. ¡±


    Alpha walked closer to me and touched my head, ¡± Close your eyes. ¡±


    ¡°Why? ¡± I asked.


    He sighed, ¡± There are people around and I don¡¯t want them to see it. They already think you¡¯re a witch and this will make them go crazy over their ims. ¡±


    Belinay growled in my chest at hismands. She was ready to defy the Alpha but following someone¡¯s orders was against her hot temper.


    He held my hand and nodded at me. I believed him and so closed my eyes to follow him back to the pack house.


    ¡®Don¡¯t act like a pus*y! Ask him to fight you. I am so readying right now. ¡® Belinay roared.


    ¡®I don¡¯t want to fight him. ¡®


    A hard gravel road felt under my feet and I frowned.


    ¡°We are going to the old Luna¡¯s Chamber. You should just stay there. ¡± He said.


    After we had settled in the carriage, I heard Luna calling for Alpha.


    ¡°Did you hurt her eyes? ¡± She asked, concerned.


    ¡°No, mom. She got dust in her eyes so I am taking her back to the old chambers now. ¡±


    Luna was suspicious but she didn¡¯t stop us and we were able to go ahead outside of the pack house.


    ¡°Open them now. ¡±


    I rubbed my eyes and he nced at them as his face showed relief.


    ¡°What the hell was that? Don¡¯t you dare hide anything from me? ¡± He asked with his gritted teeth.


    I was too nervous to answer that already because I had never gone through something like that before.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know, Alpha. It was the first time something like that happened. ¡±


    He scoffed, ¡± Everything is a first time with you. Huh? ¡±


    I shook my head, ¡± I think my step father must have done something again. He always messes up with me. ¡±


    A frown formed on his forehead, ¡± Step father? Celine, Tell me the truth. ¡±


    I bit my lip nervously. I shouldn¡¯t have revealed something like that to him. After all, it might sound like a hoax to him.


    ¡°Yes, he found me in the woods when I was an infant. I don¡¯t know who my parents are. I¡­ was never his equal. He used to hit me and made me a ve in the kingdom. If it wasn¡¯t for his stupid n of framing you with me, he would have sold me to brothel. I tried to tell you the truth so many times but I know I sound like a liar. Please, don¡¯t think of me as a liar, Alpha. Please¡­¡± A sob escaped my lips and I hid my face with my hands.


    There was silent for a minute but then I felt his arms around me and he hugged me.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to be scared of him anymore. I promise you that nobody will ever hurt you until I, Alpha Tyrion Macklin, is alive. ¡±


    I hugged him back, ¡°Nobody will try to backstab you, Alpha. As long as I am here, I will give my life to protect you. You¡¯re my mate¡­ ¡±


    He brought his mouth closer to me and kissed me. After taking me into his arms, he made his way into the chambers.


    ¡± We are not fated mates yet my wolf says it¡¯s the right thing.. . ¡± He whispered while kissing my body with his divine mouth.

 Alpha doesn’t hate Celine

    Celine¡¯s POV :


    ¡®I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you.¡¯ ~


    My lips parted, the itching in my heart to tell him about the mate bond increased with each passing second. He must know that we were fated mates, not just a random forced pair. But why couldn¡¯t he know about the mate bond?


    My thoughts were disturbed when his hungry mouth sucked onto my lower lip. Our mouths moved in sync, fingers joining each other as I trailed my hand on his chest. My breathing was going erratic and his passion was enough to make me burn like a never ending fire.


    We were barely inside the living room and he had somehow closed the door on the way. My back hit the hard rug and I put one leg over his shoulder while the other was across his waist.


    ¡°Do you want me? ¡± He asked looking into my eyes.


    His voice brought me back to the reality and I hesitated before saying anything. What if hees out of the magic and realizes it¡¯s me?


    But his thumb doing rounds around my lips made me a little confident.


    ¡°Yes, I want you¡­ ¡±


    He unbuckled his belt and kissed the nape of my neck. Before I knew, he had pushed my gown down to my knees and I had to kick it to finally get rid of it.Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    Our naked bodies rubbed against each other and his erection dripped of pre cum on the tip. His veins covered most of his manhood and my hand twitched to touch the most beautiful part of him.


    I licked my lips as he took my hand in his and made me touch him. My palm wrapped around his d*ck moved up and down and his face shed of the pleasure. He let go off my hand when he realised I had learnt how to do it properly.


    His left hand found my wet spot and he rubbed my burning cl*t which made me jump with excitement and my thighs shook. I was so wet that when he put a finger in me, my fluids almost sshed out and he didn¡¯t take much effort to put another one in me.


    It was something different as I jerked him while he fingered me, keeping his mouth on my erected nipples.


    I clenched my teeth when a sweet pleasure built in my stomach. I wanted him to continue what he was doing and my grip on his di*k tightened.


    ¡°Part your legs. ¡± He said, getting on top of me.


    He got between my thighs and adjusted himself as he pushed his shaft in me. Thest string which was keeping the pleasure in me stored broke and my walls clenched around him.


    ¡°Keeping¡­ ¡± He whispered when he noticed I trembled for nearly forty seconds.


    He continued his motion and fu*ked me mercilessly as I felt another orgasm building in me. My back was on fire because of the hard fabric of rug pressing against my skin.


    I screamed scratching his back when his thrusts got quicker and harder.


    ¡°On your belly. ¡± He said, pulling himself out of me.


    I felt him entering me from behind as his skin rubbed against my ass. He gave one p on my right cheek and I clutched the leg of the sofa. It was as if I was in another world and he was giving me some sort of dark potion. It became difficult for me to keep my eyes open any longer and I pushed my hips back at him.


    This threw him off to his limits and he mmed himself against me thrice, letting out a loud growl. I gulped the saliva down my throat and his grip loosened on my arms.


    After another minute passed, I was able to finally take regr breaths and decided to get up. His seeds leaked out of me and ran down on my thighs.


    I tried to get my gown from beneath him but he held my hand.


    ¡°Don¡¯t cover yourself up. We need a shower. ¡± He said, getting up from the floor.


    I was in Alpha Tyrion¡¯s arms and my nose was pressed against his beating heart. His pheromone was still reeking of arousal and I knew if I pushed him a little more, he would not waste another second to take me again. But I was too tired and drained for that.


    The hot shower touched my skin and I closed my eyes to let it work on my aching muscles. He put the shampoo in my hair and rubbed it until I was covered in foam.


    ¡°Do you not hate me now? ¡± I asked suddenly feeling a little lost at his sudden change of heart towards me.


    He washed off the soap and I could look into his eyes now.


    ¡°I never hated you, Celine. ¡± He whispered. ¡± I just felt I was forced to do the mate bond by you. ¡±


    I bit my lip, ¡± Don¡¯t you think you were forced now? ¡±


    He chuckled, ¡± Of course I do. But at least I wasn¡¯t forced by you. My anger faded when I learnt you were the one misused by everyone. I can¡¯t imagine being in your shoes and put through the fuckery when all the great Alphas watched withoutining. ¡±


    His jaw clenched angrily and he shook his head, remembering the time when we were forced to ept the mate bond by the Alpha Council.


    ¡°I wanted to tell you. I thought you would never believe me¡­ ¡±


    ¡°I wouldn¡¯t have believed you earlier but after spending the time with you and listening to your thoughts, I couldn¡¯t find a lie in your head. As much as I wanted to find the mistakes, I couldn¡¯t. ¡±


    Listening to my thoughts? What did he mean?


    Alpha Tyrion turned off the shower and handed me the towel. He watched me curiously as I still tried toprehend his words.


    ¡°Yes, listening to your thoughts. My wolf can read your mind, Celine. It¡¯s unbelievable but the truth¡­ ¡±


    The way my jaw dropped at his revtion, I couldn¡¯t even pretend to not be shocked.


    Wait, did he know that I liked him a little then.


    ¡°That¡¯s good. ¡± I muttered.


    He nodded and helped me to get back in the bedroom, ¡± And I would always try to help you out of any trouble. But¡­ ¡± He stopped, my heart pounding in my chest, ¡± I don¡¯t love you, Celine. It¡¯s my duty to fulfill the promise I gave you. Nothing more than that. ¡°

 The challenge to the throne

    Celine¡¯s POV :


    ¡®There are no secrets that time does not reveal¡­ ¡°~


    Belinay¡¯s heart broke at the very moment he said those words. She was howling and roaring at the disrespect which she was made to face.


    ¡®What the fu*k did he say? Can he read my thoughts too? ¡® She screamed at the top of her lungs.


    I didn¡¯t want to utter a single word even in my head in fear of what if he listened to me again. But my crazy wolf was tearing up my mind and it had began to hurt.


    ¡°Can you listen to my wolf too? ¡± I asked once he had wrapped a towel around me and was wiping the water off his chest.


    ¡°No, she¡¯s out of my reach. I was surprised when I started to listen some of your thoughts in my mind. ¡±


    Some of my thoughts? That was a little good because at least he couldn¡¯t hear all the conversations in my head.


    ¡®Then tell him that we¡¯re not going to let him use us like this whenever he wants. If he wants that bitch Ava, then he should cry for her to return back. ¡®Belinay was forcing me to deliver her thoughts to Alpha Tyrion but I knew this would only create more misunderstanding.Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    And I was happy that at least he wasn¡¯t angry with me anymore.


    ¡®Don¡¯t make things difficult again. Remember, it was us who asked for a child. ¡® I answered.


    ¡®Not us, just you! ¡®


    I jumped when he touched my shoulder and looked at me with confusion. I saw the gown in his hand and immediately took it from him to get dressed. Out of curiosity, I peeked in his direction and saw his naked body shining brightly in the sun.


    Something which caught my eye was the huge mark which looked like some sort of a symbol on his back. It was in the form of a giant wolf surrounded by mes. A cryptguage written around it just added to the mystery.


    I waste to look away and he caught me staring at him. The realisation hit him and he quickly wore his shirt. I could sense from the way he was reacting that he didn¡¯t want me to know more about it.


    ¡°Are you dressed now? ¡± He asked, without looking at me as I fixed my gown.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    We were in the living room when he took out a notebook and wrote something on it. I patiently waited for him to finish writing and when he did he sat closer to me.


    ¡°This is ¡®The Race to the Crown¡¯ challenge. ¡± He said pointing at the sequence of events which he had written in short.


    He flipped through the pages and ran his pen on a pattern which he had already made. Finally, Belinay was at peace again after she got to know about the challenge. She was excited and ready to show herself to the world. All of this made no sense to me though.


    ¡°The Challenge of the Moon and Sun. ¡± He said.


    ¡°But why is it conducted? ¡± I asked. Alpha put the notebook on the table and took a deep breath.


    ¡°The twenty kingdoms of thend were ruled by powerful werewolves, each with their own Alpha and Luna. But every hundred years, a great challenge is held to determine who among them will be the supreme rulers of all werewolves: the Alpha king and the Luna queen.¡± He looked into my eyes and my wolf roared at the sound of Luna Queen.


    ¡°It¡¯s difficult then. I am really sorry I put you through the mess. ¡± I was scared to know that there would be so many powerful Alphas.


    He shrugged, ¡± I had prepared my whole life for this challenge and so did Ava. ¡± He stopped and looked at me, ¡± I know you¡¯re not strong enough to be in the finals but I am d that you are ready to be a part of it. ¡±


    ¡®Is he fucking talking about himself? Because I am stronger than his stupid Ava! ¡®Belinay would put everything on fire one day because of her anger.


    ¡°I will do my best¡­ ¡± I said.


    ¡°I know. Because there is no other way. ¡± He stared into my soul as if he wanted to say something else but then stopped himself from saying anything further,


    ¡°The challenge consists of two parts: the Moon Trial and the Sun Trial. The Moon Trial is a test of strength, speed, and endurance, where the Alphas and Lunas have to race across thend under the full moon, facing various obstacles and enemies along the way. The first ten Alphas to reach the finish line will qualify for the second part of the challenge. ¡± He said.


    ¡± And The Sun Trial is a test of wisdom, courage, and loyalty, where the Lunas have to solve a series of riddles and puzzles under the scorching sun, while protecting their mates from harm. The Lunas have to work together with their Alphas, using their bond and their abilities to ovee the challenges. The first pair toplete the Sun Trial will be crowned as the Alpha king and the Luna queen, and will rule over the twenty kingdoms for the next hundred years.¡±


    I could feel myself trembling under that heavy gown as he closed the notebook and sat down with me again.


    ¡°Any questions? I know everything is a big question for you at this moment. ¡± He gave a small smile.


    ¡°What are the challenges and obstacles? Are they life threatening? ¡± I asked.


    ¡°There are lots of obstacles which are changed every time. But the mostmon ones are that we have to cross the Rivers andkes that are either frozen or infested with dangerous creatures, crossing Mountains and cliffs that are steep and slippery, have hidden caves and tunnels that lead to traps or dead ends. And other shifters who are either rivals or allies, who may try to sabotage, attack, or help us along the way.¡± He took a minute before finishing, And yes some of these lead to deaths for the weak ones. ¡±


    As I closed my eyes, I could see my death uncovering before my vision.


    I would die. And that was the end of it.


    ¡°No, you won¡¯t. You can always leave the challenge and tell me. You are not forced to win it when we both know there¡¯s no chance for that. ¡± Alpha Tyrion must have read my thoughts again and he answered quickly to my doubt.


    I nodded, ¡± And is there a ruling Alpha king and his Luna Queen? ¡±


    ¡°Yes, Thest Lycan Calle and his Queen Emerald. But they don¡¯t have a heir or heiress so it¡¯s just the 19 kingdoms this time. ¡±


    The Last Lycan Calle¡­ I had heard my father speak about him so many times but never knew he ruled us.


    ¡°Will we meet them? ¡± I asked.


    ¡°Yes, they are the ones who will wee each couple in the challenge. ¡± He nced outside when the sound of a carriage was heard.


    And before we could know who it was, the person barged in, crying and hugging me.


    ¡°Oh, Celine. My little girl. ¡± My fake father cried, gripping my arm tightly.

 A Supportive Mate

    Celine¡¯s POV :


    A loud growl scared him, yet he didn¡¯t let go of my arms. I felt Alpha Tyrion grabbing him harshly and throwing his weak body away from me.


    ¡°Don¡¯t touch her, Gabriel! ¡± Alpha Tyrion shouted in his Alpha voice and my father bowed his head at him.


    He smiled,¡± She¡¯s my daughter, Alpha. ¡±


    Alpha Tyrion scoffed,¡± Daughter? You should be ashamed of using that word for her because real fathers don¡¯t sell their daughters. ¡±


    His eyes widened almost about to pop out of their sockets. He looked between me and Alpha, trying to read the room. I could see the anger rising in his eyes when he realised that I had betrayed him by telling Alpha Tyrion the truth.


    ¡°There¡¯s a big misunderstanding, Alpha Tyrion. You were the one who touched her and took her innocence. ¡±


    I had never seen Alpha so angry before, other than the day when we were mated forcibly. My father was lifted high in the air and thrown against a wall.


    ¡± You said whatever you could that time when she was your daughter, but now, when I have marked her, you have no right to even step a foot inside my pack.¡±


    ¡°Please let me go, Alpha. I had only wanted to meet my daughter. She¡¯s my only family left in the world. ¡± And with this, he began to cry.


    My heart ached for him. As much as I hated him, it was the truth that he had always been there in my childhood when I needed a parent. Somehow, he was nice and kind to me when I was young.


    But was he a good father figure if he protected my innocence only to use it as bait to trap an Alpha?This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    ¡®Cut the non-existent umbilical cord, Celine. He means nothing to us. ¡® Belinay muttered angrily.


    She had been growing restless as soon as his scene had caught our attention. The violence he inflicted on me was life-threatening and one day he would have ended my life for sure.


    ¡°You need to leave. ¡± I spoke as his face dropped,¡± You are no one to me. ¡±


    He clenched his jaw,¡± I raised you! You ungrateful little brat. When your goddam parents left you in the woods, I took you in and pleaded with the Alpha to give you the pack¡¯s name. ¡±


    Alpha Tyrion growled,¡± Do you have a death wish? ¡±


    Gabriel, my dad, or just a stranger, didn¡¯t have any other option other than to give me a harsh look before leaving my sight.


    ¡°Meet you in the challenge. ¡± He said as he got out of the chamber.


    I finally exhaled a sigh of relief when his bully¡¯s scent vanished, and I could feel myself taking normal breaths again. His wolf had always been mean to me since the time I was a kid.


    ¡°Take rest. I need to work on the pack matters. ¡± Alpha Tyrion said.


    As much as I wanted to stop him and get him to talk to me more about the challenge, I didn¡¯t show it to him. I had to keep my thoughts in control around him, so it wouldn¡¯t get ufortable between us.


    His eyes fell on my slight cleavage, and he looked away as his cheeks flushed with embarrassment. I wanted his eyes on me and his strong hands working on my body.


    ¡°Have a good day, Alpha. ¡± I replied by keeping my thoughts and voice controlled.


    I noticed his body going rigid, and he didn¡¯t move an inch away from the exit door. Something was going in his head and I didn¡¯t know what he might be thinking.


    ¡°Will you be okay here? ¡± He asked, and before I could answer he added,¡± I mean it might get lonely here, and you need to concentrate on the challenge too. Are you sure it won¡¯t disturb you? ¡±


    I frowned when he still waited for me. I was a little confused by his asking me about the loneliness when he had thrown me into the ruins of his pack.


    ¡°No, it will be fine. Please don¡¯t stress about me. ¡± I insisted.


    His frown deepened and he took a step closer to me. I felt my breath getting caught in my throat when he touched my face with his warm fingers.


    ¡°Take care and if you want any help just let me know.¡± He pulled out a phone from his pocket and gave it to me. I was visibly confused but didn¡¯t ask him anything,¡± You can contact me anytime whenever you need me.¡±


    I clutched it in my hands, not knowing what to feel about his good attitude towards me after a long time. However, I was delighted by the fact that he cared about my well-being and my needs. Maybe he was just hurt by the sudden mate bond, and it made him angry all the time.


    ¡°I will let you know,¡± I answered with a small smile.


    He nodded,¡± I will ask the elders about your sudden change of eye color because it happened for the first time, and you are as clueless as me. Can I trust you with your words though? ¡±


    ¡°Yes, Alpha. I promise I have no idea about whatever happened during the practice.¡± I shook my head.


    He looked satisfied with my answer and, after staring at me for another few seconds with the same intensity in his eyes, he finally turned around to leave.


    ¡°Shall I go?¡± He asked again.


    ¡°Yes, Alpha¡­¡± I bit my lip nervously when he ran his hand on his silky blonde head. I watched him walking with utter confidence and his head high in the air with the authority he executed in his demeanor. My stomach fluttered as he turned to look at me.


    ¡°Celine,¡± he said loudly,¡± Are you sure you can live alone here?¡±


    This time I burst outughing loudly, and he was taken aback by my reaction. He was behaving so strangely and his confusion about leaving me here alone was so funny to me.


    ¡®He is the same man who threw us here though. But I like how he can¡¯t resist us anymore. The bond is finally working on his head.¡¯ Belinay scoffed in my mind.


    And suddenly I was thrown back to reality. He might be getting a little infatuated with me, but it was all because of the sex and not because he felt something about me.


    ¡°I know how to live alone, Alpha. I have known it since I was a child. So, don¡¯t worry about me and go back to your pack.¡± I didn¡¯t wait for his response this time and I shut the door on his face.

 Dilemmas of Alpha Tyrion

    Alpha Tyrion¡¯s POV :


    Her voice faded when she closed the door with that sad look in her eyes. I clenched my jaw and wanted to check on her.


    Hug her. Comfort her. Tell her that¡­


    ¡®You like her. ¡® Sabre intervened and my steps froze.


    I looked around the secluded chambers and a slow chirping of birds was the only sound other than my own heavy breathing. I had been over thinking about her and this situation too much.


    In all this mess, it had slipped my mind that I was actually really angry at her for her own stupid decision of taking part in thepetition. It was not easy to be there. Yet, she had jumped right into it without discussing with me first.


    I was the Alpha, her mate! How could she just announce that?


    On top of that, a strange energy radiating around her which made her eyes pop with different colors and a powerful aura, was another secret waiting to unfold. She was truthful in her answers though, but it was impossible to believe a girl who was so much under her father¡¯s control that didn¡¯t tell me the real reason of that mate bond.


    Could she still be lying about everything?


    But then why did I believe her and act like a small pup around her?


    ¡®I just want to know about her past. I had to gain her trust, Sabre. ¡® I scoffed.


    My wolf growled, his rage knowing no bounds, ¡® What do you mean by that? Were you faking the connection? Are you ying with that innocent girl? ¡®


    ¡®It¡¯s not ying with her emotions at all. How can I trust a girl who so easily threw the me on her father? She has some weird energy in her especially that incident today, it proved my suspicion was right all along. ¡®


    Sabre was cursing me in my head, his desire for running into the wild made me forcibly shift right there.


    Once on my all fours, I jumped towards the woods and ran out of the old chambers. My mind now in full control of Sabre, his anger making me suffer. He intentionally put so much pressure on my limbs while running to cause me more pain.


    ¡®Why don¡¯t you just understand? You are blind because you can¡¯t see the innocence on her face! ¡® Sabre scoffed.


    ¡®You¡¯re just too much smitten by her innocence. I know she¡¯s waiting for a chance to attack us. Maybe she called her father for a reason. ¡® I added.


    ¡®I know you don¡¯t feel that about her. It¡¯s your ego which is getting high on your head. ¡®


    I was cornered in the nk space of my brain, making me a prisoner of my own thoughts and my arrogant wolf. Yes, I agreed that I was out of senses when I was with Celine. I wasn¡¯t even thinking about pack matters, Ava, or the challenge.


    Not even the throne. My life goal.


    The magic around her always made me somewhat attracted to her. It was a sin though. To fantasize about another woman when I had left Ava carrying my child alone to be treated like trash.


    ¡®But she looked happy with her new Alpha mate. ¡® Sabre said.


    I hissed angrily, ¡® She was pleading us to help her. Couldn¡¯t you see how desperate she was to get out? ¡®


    Sabre roared, ¡® I could never feel the connection with her. Even now, I don¡¯t find her genuine. ¡®N?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    My wolf was one of the most stubborn living being in the world and also someone whom I could never fight with. It was a mystery that he could get attracted to Celine but dumped Ava in a heartbeat.


    We went too deep into the woods and stood at the sacred cliff where the moonlight was the brightest. It had always provided me with enough serenity whenever clouds of doubts had covered my head.


    ¡®Moon Goddess, I am going to get the throne anyhow. I don¡¯t care if I lose people or feelings for anyone. ¡® I thought inside my mind.


    A lightning struck hard in the clouds which made Sabre flinch.


    ¡®Tyrion, you will have only one chance at love. If you lose it, there¡¯s no getting her back. ¡® The voice echoed around me.


    The winds had grown strong and I could feel the force almost pushing me back which clearly meant Moon Goddess didn¡¯t want me here anymore. My wolf howled to the Moon in respect and we made our way out of the woods.


    Why would the Goddess talk about love at this moment? She knew the throne meant the most to me. It was the only thing which could break me if I don¡¯t get it.


    Unlike other Alphas, who took immense focus on their mates, I never wanted one for myself. The only sole reason was to get the Alpha King title.


    ¡®Alpha, we have a guest here. He wants to have a meeting with you. ¡® My Beta Rufus mind ¨C linked with me.


    ¡®I¡¯ll be there in five minutes. ¡® I told him.


    I shifted back to my human form once I reached the pack borders and the guards bowed at me as they opened the entrance doors. My pack had begun to ept the fact that Ava was not going to be their Luna which simply meant that they would not be the people of the King.


    Celine couldn¡¯t just live in the outskirts like that. It was depressing, unsafe and cruel on my part. I needed to get her back here before thepetition starts to make herfortable with the Royal etiquettes. But I was amazed by her sheer discipline and determination. The way she cleaned the trashy ce and lived there without anyints was a surprise to me.


    For a girl, who wanted to enjoy the Royal status and be the Luna, she acted pretty good enough to be in the lowest state.


    ¡®Will you ever trust her? ¡® Sabre asked.


    ¡®One day for sure. ¡® I said.


    ¡®I hope you¡¯re notte enough and we lose her. ¡®


    My heart fluttered, not in a good way, but with anxiety. Why would she leave us? I knew if I let her live in the pack, she wouldn¡¯t even think about moving out on her own.


    ¡°Alpha, he¡¯s in the meeting room. ¡± Beta Rufus was standing in the doorway, waiting for my arrival and I walked with him to the meeting room.


    ¡°Hello, Brother! ¡± Kain greeted me and I felt my jaw clenching angrily at him.


    ¡®What the fu*k are you doing here? ¡® I shouted.


    Heughed, ¡± Not stealing your woman again. So, calm down¡­ ¡°

 Alpha’s Brother

    Celine¡¯s POV :


    My pu*sy throbbed with the pleasure brewing in the pits of my lower abdomen when the hands of Alpha Tyrion touched me everywhere leaving wet kisses all over my body. I mped my thighs tightly when the arousal hit me. Our mouths moved in sync with each other. My thighs shook as the pressure built up in me, waiting for a release. But the release never came, instead a bright light fell on my face and I woke up.


    My clit was wet and throbbing for more even though it was just a dream. It was the first time I had experienced such a sexual dream.


    ¡®We want him every second. ¡® Belinay moaned and I wiped the sweat beads forming on my forehead.


    I shook my head to make the dirty thoughts leave my mind because it was dangerous for me to develop such a sort of feelings for a man who hated my existence. Not hated, but didn¡¯t want me either.


    I made my way to the kitchen and poured myself a ss of cold water. As I released a long breath, my mind wandered off to Alpha Tyrion and his a passionate love for Ava.


    What could make a man, a great Alpha, love a Woman that much and hate everyone else?


    ¡®We should focus on our practice for the challenge. I could feel an immense energy when we had practiced for the first time. I can control it if you allow me to. ¡® Belinay suggested.


    I was again thrown into a dilemma because at one side I knew that I had nothing special in me yet my wolf could feel so much more than that.


    ¡®Do you think that we are normal? I am so worried about the changing of eye colour and other Side Effects. ¡®


    Belinay chuckled, ¡® You call our intense energy as side effects¡­ Sounds good. ¡®


    I just couldn¡¯t argue with her anymore after that. She was hellbent on going to practice and show me her superpowers which I couldn¡¯t feel without me pushing myself to our limits.


    ¡®Let¡¯s practice. ¡®


    The fear of the toughpetition made me little nervous. But I had to be strong and get over it. My role in the pack was nothing more than a breeder. Nobody even called me Luna. I was just Alpha¡¯s mate. Nothing else.


    I had to distract myself from those thoughts ying in my head again and again. After taking a long breath, I was able topose myself back into the lifeless woman I had be. With no emotions.


    I decided to practice more as per Alpha Tyrion¡¯s orders. The training would distract me and also would help me with passing whatever tests he had nned out for me.


    ¡®I am ready. ¡® I said to myself and my wolf growled with motivation too.


    Once outside, I walked it to therge deserted ground which used to be the training hall for the pack before the new one was made because I could see a few weapons hanging on the wall. I nervously walked to the middle and grew clueless about what to do next.


    I touched the swords, shields and armors hanging on the walls. They were too heavy for me to carry around so I dropped the idea of weapon training.


    ¡°Shall I help you? ¡±


    I saw a young man behind me and a little smile appeared on his face. I licked my lips and knew it was a bad idea toe here. My heart beat increased when he tried to get more close to me. I didn¡¯t know when and how he came here but I was not going to trust a stranger who just jumped out of no where.


    ¡°No, thanks. ¡±


    He chuckled, ¡± Seriously? I am one of the best trainers out there even better than my brother Tyrion. I genuinely want to help you because your aura gives me powerful energy. You should practice and learn more about yourself. ¡±


    His voice had turned serious and I gave him a nod as I realised he was Alpha¡¯s brother. But I couldn¡¯t see much resemnce between them other than the sharp Jaw line which they both shared.


    He was tall too and his piercing brown orbs wiggled with excitement as he stares at my face curiously. Even though he was handsome but there was noparison between him and Alpha Tyrion.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to be strong. I just need to learn basic training. ¡±


    He shrugged off, ¡± Well, that shouldn¡¯t be too difficult then. Can you shift almost immediately? ¡±


    I shook my head and mumbled, ¡± It takes time. Because I don¡¯t shift often. I got my wolf four months ago. ¡±


    Somehow, talking to him didn¡¯t give me anxiety. Instead, I liked how calm he was about getting to know me more. Unlike, Alpha Tyrion who was always in a hurry around me.


    ¡°Then, you should learn about shifting in a few seconds. Once you can link with your wolf, your senses in human form will heighten too. ¡±


    I was at loss of words because I didn¡¯t want to continue the conversation with him. He was aplete stranger to me even if he was Alpha¡¯s brother. What if Alpha Tyrion sent him to help me? But I didn¡¯t want to insult him anymore if my wolf again showed her weird eyes.


    ¡°Thanks for your suggestion. ¡± I began to walk out of the training ground but he held my wrist.


    Fear crippled me when I realized he was so close to me. His breath fell on my neck and his gaze fixed on my mark.


    ¡°Don¡¯t turn your back on me. Maybe we can be closer than just friends¡­ I know he doesn¡¯t treat you right. ¡± He brought his face dangerously close to my mouth and I took a few steps back.


    I was speechless and saw the amusement mixed with a little anger in his eyes.


    ¡°I respect your help for the practice but I don¡¯t think we can continue after this.¡±


    I didn¡¯t wait there to continue any kind of conversation with him and instead made my way to the Chambers. The shock and confusion was still lingering over my head because I had not expected such a disrespectful behaviour from Alpha¡¯s brother.


    ¡°Well, you¡¯re beautiful. He has never shown gratefulness for whatever the Goddess has provided him. ¡±


    I could hear him shouting as I walked away from the ground.


    ¡®That was so crazy and unexpected. Where did he evene from? ¡®


    Belinay growled, ¡®Call Alpha now! Tell him about his brother¡¯s behaviour. ¡®


    ¡®I don¡¯t think that¡¯s the right thing to do. After all, he will believe his brother over me anytime. ¡®


    ¡® You should listen to me at least once but it¡¯s your choice. ¡® She was angry again and I bit my lip feeling lost and weak at my pathetic self.


    The kitten hade back out of nowhere and I picked him up to caress his back.


    ¡°At least, I got you. ¡± I whispered in his ear.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    I fed him milk and bread. Once inside the bedroom, my phone rang and I panicked. I didn¡¯t know how to use it and neither I could see the numbers correctly.


    Still, with lots of efforts I picked it up by pressing the green sign.


    ¡°Who¡¯s that? ¡± I asked on the phone.


    ¡± Who do you think can call you other than me? ¡± It was Alpha Tyrion on the other side.


    I found myself smiling and could feel how he must be reacting with his small grin on his lips.


    ¡°Sorry, I didn¡¯t know it was you. ¡±


    ¡°So, now you do. ¡± His voice turned serious, ¡± Is there anything you want to tell me? ¡±


    I frowned, ¡± No, Alpha. ¡±


    He took a deep breath, ¡± Are you sure? ¡±


    ¡®Tell him about his brother. ¡® Belinay screamed.


    I hesitated, ¡± Your brother wanted to help me with the training. He ¨C ¡±


    ¡°That fuc*ing Ass*ole was there! ¡± He growled and I heard the call getting disconnected.

 Half Brother And Past

    Celine¡¯s POV :


    I heard loud banging outside the door and Alpha Tyrion entered before I could even walk downstairs to him. He looked around everywhere with his deadly re and growled at the noise made by kitten.


    ¡°When was he here? ¡± He asked.


    ¡°Around four hours ago. ¡± I answered with confusion lingering in my mind.


    He rubbed his forehead and let out a small groan as a nerve twitched in his jaw.


    ¡°What did he say? Did he do something? Are you okay? ¡±


    His concern towards me was shocking and uncalled because he had just left me in the Chambers and with just one call he was here looking out for me. But why he was so concerned about his brother visiting me, as if he was an intruder who was unsafe for everyone.


    ¡°No, he was just checking in and wanted to help with practice. ¡±


    His brows furrowed, ¡± What do you mean by he wanted to help you with practice?¡±


    ¡± I had wanted to get some training practice so that it would be easy for me to stay in the challenge for at least one day. He came out of nowhere and introduced himself. ¡± I told him the truth.


    Alpha grabbed my arm and dragged me just inches away from his mouth.


    ¡°Kain, my step brother, is the bastard child of my Father who is mixed with the witch¡¯s blood. He is my biggest enemy and has always wanted to steal what¡¯s mine. He can go to any length to prove himself superior than me. ¡±


    I tried to make sense of his words but my focus was on his mesmerising eyes and our closeness.


    ¡°Mixed with Witch¡¯s Blood? ¡± I asked again to confirm.


    Alpha Tyrion nodded and his grip loosened on my arms.


    ¡°His mother was a witch who seduced my father when he still hadn¡¯t found his mate. She intentionally got pregnant and trapped him but Moon Goddess broke the spell and she was banished from the shifternd. Kain was allowed to live with the wolves because of his half blood yet he chose to be in contact with his evil mother who made him do so many vile things on my pack. ¡±


    I listened to him attentively as he told me about the biggest secret of his life and i felt worthy of standing here with him.


    ¡°Why did hee back? ¡± I asked.


    ¡°He just met me in the pack house after meeting you here. His reason of visit is because he found a special wolf¡¯s energy in my pack. ¡± He scoffed, ¡± But I know that¡¯s just a fake excuse because he must have heard about you. He just wants to interfere in my life again. ¡±


    As I recalled how he had tried to make me let him touch me, I felt the bile rise up in my throat. Kain was an evil bastard and I was d that I let him down with his approach.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you banish him too? ¡±


    ¡°I have passed somews restricting his entry into the pack but The Alpha Council says he should be allowed to visit the pack because of his right as a half wolf. ¡±


    Suddenly, a thought crossed my mind and I looked up at him with curiosity.


    ¡°What if there¡¯s something wrong with me too? ¡±


    ¡°What do you mean? ¡± He asked, touching my arm.


    ¡°Am I a mixed wolf too? ¡± I asked, ¡± Like your half brother. Because I don¡¯t know about my parents and their origin. ¡±


    Alpha Tyrion seemed to be lost in deep thought but he didn¡¯t say anything to me.


    ¡°I don¡¯t think so. But I have checked about your birth conditions and I came to know that around 18 years ago, there was a mass genocide by the vampires on the rogues who used to live in the borders of the werewolf And The Vampire Kingdom. ¡±


    My throat inched with the sore taste forming in my mouth. It became too difficult to gulp down the saliva and my hands turned cold.


    ¡°That means my parents died in the massacre. I will never get to see them. ¡±


    He sighed, ¡°No, I am not sure about the possibility but there is a chance. But for that, I need to talk to Gabriel and ask him about how he found you. ¡±


    I wiped my tears and unexpectedly Alpha wrapped his huge arms around my trembling body. I hesitated for a minute before hugging him tightly and hiding my face in his chest. His pheromone gave me immense peace and safety and I never wanted to get away from him.


    ¡± I know it must be difficult for you to remember that I can sometimes hear your thoughts. ¡± He chuckled.


    My cheeks flushed with embarrassment and I fixed my hair, pretending to look at the floor.


    ¡°I should start with the dinner¡­ ¡± I mumbled.


    ¡°No, you don¡¯t have to prepare for anything because you areing with me to the pack house. ¡±


    I watched him with my mouth hanging open at him and he smiled after touching my lips and giving a small tap on my mouth.


    ¡°But the pack members hate me¡­ ¡± I said.


    ¡± I know that they don¡¯t want you to stay in the Pack. But I am taking you with me as my mate and we wille back after dinner. ¡±


    As his mate? I smiled internally at the thought.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to put so much efforts for me. I will manage here like always. ¡±


    He scoffed, ¡± And let Kain harass you again. Right? ¡±


    He stared into my eyes and I shook my head.


    ¡°He didn¡¯t harass me. And you don¡¯t have to be worried about me ever trying to betray you. ¡± I answered.


    Heughed, ¡± I know him since I was a kid and he can never go without trying his luck on any woman. Especially a woman rted to me. He tried the same trick on Ava too but I know she wasn¡¯t interested in him either. ¡±


    My smile vanished as soon as he took her name and I could feel the change in his demeanor too. We both grew aware of our situation and the reality of our Bond.


    ¡°I will just take the kitten with me. ¡± I said breaking the awkward silence.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    Alpha nodded but I couldn¡¯t find the kitten anywhere even after I called for him thrice.


    ¡°Let him go. I don¡¯t have enough time to wait here. ¡± He sounded irritated and I hated how everything between us was just a dream which took only one name to break and make us apart.

 Fight with Kain

    Celine¡¯s POV :


    Alpha Tyrion was greeted by his Beta who gave me a small nod as a form of respect. He seemed to be one of Alpha¡¯s most loyal people as Alpha immediately gave him orders to keep an eye on Kain.


    ¡°How long is Kain going to stay here? ¡± I asked Alpha once we were alone again.


    ¡°He will stay in the Pack until thepetition and join all the members as audience while its conducted. Nobody wants him to be present but he is stubborn and will never let any opportunity of making himself visible in the royal status. ¡±


    The maids greeted us and we entered the dining area. It was marvelous and the huge dining table with 16 chairs was all served with dinner.


    ¡°Doesn¡¯t he have a mate? ¡± I asked Alpha once we had settled down.


    He raised his brow, ¡± He will never have a mate because he doesn¡¯t have a wolf. ¡±


    My eyes widened at the revtion and I felt a little better about me because at least I had a wolf and I was not one of the mixed species like him.


    ¡°Ummm. It smells so good here. ¡±


    It was Kain and he pped his hands once before taking his seat beside me.


    ¡°Get the fu*k up! ¡± Alpha Tyrion shouted, making me flinch.


    Kain chuckled yfully, ¡± What¡¯s wrong with you? Is this how you should talk to your elder brother? ¡±


    Alpha Tyrion growled and banged the table with this fist, ¡± I think you shouldn¡¯t worry about our rtionship because I don¡¯t consider the people who backstab me as my family. ¡±


    I didn¡¯t feel good by listening to their private matter yet I couldn¡¯t do anything to stop them because it was not my ce to speak between two Royals.


    ¡°Shut up. Don¡¯t you think you should talk about something better than our past in front of your new mate? ¡± Kain¡¯s eyesnded on me and I instantly looked away.


    Alpha Tyrion clutched his jaw and gave him a death re which he didn¡¯t take seriously at all and continued to drag his chair closer to mine.


    ¡°Kain¡­ ¡± Alpha Tyrion whispered angrily, ¡± Don¡¯t test me now. ¡±


    Kainughed, ¡± Are you being serious here? I thought you loved Ava and this girl was just a forced bride for you. Or maybe I am missing something here? ¡±


    I nced at Alpha Tyrion who watched Kain with an ugly danger lurking behind his eyes. The mention of Ava had surely put him on edge and he was ready to initiate a fight with him.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to jump in my life. ¡± He muttered angrily.


    Kain whistled and ran his fingers in his hair, ¡± Ava was more of a sl*t in bed. Believe me. This one is innocent and loyal to you. ¡±


    I felt a sharp pain in my left cheek and realised Alpha Tyrion had smashed a te on the table which had hit me across my face. He didn¡¯t pay any attention to me or to Kain who had stoppedughing now.


    ¡°What the fu*k did you say? How dare you call Ava a sl*t? ¡± He roared and punched him on the face.


    Kain struggled to get away from his grip yet he didn¡¯t stop teasing him, ¡± Yes, she is a bi*ch. She loves fu*king like a fish who spreads her legs for me. She gave me thrice when you left. Here, on the dining table and another time on your bed¡­ ¡±


    Alpha Tyrion growled and lifted him up in the air, smashing his body against the floor. His fangs were on disy and his wolf had gone feral. Kain was hurt badly after his head hit against the hard tiles and he tried to wiggle away from Alpha Tyrion.


    ¡°You can never change. Just like your mother you want to snatch someone else¡¯s ce. You can never make a special ce for yourself in this world and these small conspiracies will help you for ever to be in the royal status. ¡± Alpha Tyrion shouted on his face.


    Kain wiped the blood from his face and stood at a safe distance from the raging Alpha.


    ¡°She sucked me before calling me to the bed. ¡±


    And with this heughed menacingly and ran out of the dining area. Alpha Tyrion was about to run after him but Beta Rufus stopped him from going there.


    ¡°He is just messing with you. You know he is jealous you¡¯re participating in the challenge. Don¡¯t waste your energy on him. ¡±


    Alpha Tyrion was fuming with anger, ¡± Did you hear what he said about Ava? How can I let him go? ¡±


    Beta Rufus nodded, ¡± I know and we can make him learn his lesson after you¡¯re done with the challenge. Because I received the formal invitation from the Lycan King and they want you and Celine to be there tomorrow. ¡±


    It was all going too fast and I wasn¡¯t even ready for taking the challenge into ount. My wolf was as ready as a fierce warrior who had been honing her skills for years but in reality both of us were good for nothing.


    Alpha Tyrion turned to look at me and his eyes fixed on my cheek.


    ¡°Did I hurt you? ¡± He asked, making his way towards me.


    I shook my head, ¡± No, you didn¡¯t. I will just wash my face. ¡±


    He checked the small wound and pressed his thumb against my sore skin. I saw a little blood on his thumb and he made me sit on the chair.


    ¡°Get me a wet cloth. ¡± He told one of the maids.


    I tried to stand up and tell him that it wasn¡¯t a big deal but he put his finger on my mouth, silencing me from speaking anything to him.


    Beta Rufus was watching us with a small smile on his face and he winked at me yfully when our eyes met. I was too embarrassed to look at him again so kept my attention on the broken te.


    The maids hurriedly came back with the cloth and bowl of water and Alpha Tyrion put the wet cloth on my cheek.


    ¡°Send dinner in my chamber. She will sleep there tonight. ¡± He ordered the maids who nodded at hismand.


    I gasped, ¡± But Alpha¡­ ¡±


    ¡°No, don¡¯t try to change my decision now. We are leaving tomorrow and I don¡¯t want anything else happening to you. ¡±


    Beta Rufus cleared his throat grabbing our attention and Alpha Tyrion immediately got up from the floor.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, Alpha. I will keep my eyes on Kain and you can take care of Celine. ¡±


    Alpha Tyrion put his arm around my shoulders and pulled me closer.


    ¡°Yes, after all she is going to be my partner in the challenge and we need to look out for each other. ¡± He said.Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    ¡®Why doesn¡¯t he just ept us as his fated mate?¡¯ Belinay was angry again and she was offended by Alpha showing concern for a professional reason.

 Sudden Surprise in the chamber

    Celine¡¯s POV :


    ¡°No, this will be enough for me. ¡± I told the maid who was serving me dinner. I had never felt the arrogance most royals felt when a servant was doing their work because at this moment I felt so embarrassed by just sitting on the chair and all of them serving me the delicious food.


    Alpha Tyrion had not returned to the chamber after he took me to his room. His chamber was filled with his seductive yet dangerous Cologne and my wolf was thrown on edge every time we came in contact with his shirts hanging in the closet as we took one of it out.


    After I was done with dinner, I decided to take a shower and change into something morefortable. Belinay had pushed me with her emotional torture to wear Alpha¡¯s huge over sized shirt because ording to her reasoning it would be really arrogant on our part to call the maids again for a simple reason.


    I couldn¡¯t just keep denying her everything and finally forced myself to choose one of the white shirts he had hanged in the corner of the closet. It definitely looked like he didn¡¯t wear it often.


    It covered me till just above my knees and the shoulders kept falling off to the sides and I had to adjust it so many times.


    ¡®Lie down on the bed with your legs spread wide open for him. ¡® Belinay suggested.


    Even though it sounded good and sexy, I knew it was not a good idea because it would mean disrespect to Alpha if I wee him like that.


    ¡®He will love to taste us and then we can grind ourselves on his mouth. ¡®


    The blush crept on my face and I bit my lower lip imagining and fantasizing about his tongue on my pus*y.


    ¡®We are leaving for thepetition tomorrow and you¡¯re busy making scenarios in my head. ¡® I angrily told Belinay.


    My body felt like it was burning with fever and all I could think was thepetition. How was I going to behave among those royals?


    ¡®Don¡¯t be so stressed about such a trivial matter. You need to rx and forget about it for a while. ¡® She replied calmly.


    I took a deep breath, ¡± And how am I supposed to rx when all I can think about is the challenge? ¡®


    Belinay chuckled, ¡®Do something interesting. How about pleasuring yourself because your mate doesn¡¯t want to? I don¡¯t think he is even going to sleep in the same bed as us. ¡®


    I knew my wolf was unhinged from the start but she was actually crazy and psychotic was a new revtion for me.


    ¡°I would rather sleep and dream of a better ce. ¡±


    Belinay mocked me more with her snarls and growls against me. But she couldn¡¯t make me do that crazy thing. I had never done this ever even when I lived in my pack after just one curious time. It was something I never considered doing because I was too traumatized by the tortures inflicted by my father on me.


    I snuggled into the pillow and Alpha Tyrion¡¯s scent hit me straight into my head which sent the sensation to my thighs making my cl*t twitch with pleasure.


    ¡®His mouth on your nipple¡­ His fingers teasing you while you ache for the release. ¡® Belinay was ying with my head.


    I wasn¡¯t wearing anything beneath Alpha¡¯s shirt and the raw skin rubbing against each other made me more excited.


    When the ache became too unbearable, I sat straight on my bed. Arousal-induced sweat caused my hair to stick to the side of my face. I gulped down the lump of saliva forming in my throat. My hands shook with hesitation and excitement as I threw the thin gown on the floor.


    The cool air caressed my wet skin, and I squeezed my nipples. A moan escaped my lips as I thought about his thick fingers in me. Still scared but ready to do the deed for only the second time in my life, I pushed my hand down and touched my clit. The first time had been when I felt a pre heat at sixteen and didn¡¯t know what to do with the feeling down there.


    My clit throbbed and pulsated with my touch. With one hand, I rubbed in circr motion. With the other, I clutched the sheets in my fist. I ground my fingers into my core until I was ready to plunge two inside.


    A shadow moved next to me, looming over me. A scream escaped my lips, and I scrambled to cover myself. But the sheets were under me, and the covers were lying on the other side of the room far from my reach.


    Alpha Tyrion stared at my naked body with dark passion, looking like he might eat me alive. Heat crept into my cheeks like fire as embarrassment washed over me. Who knew how long he¡¯d been watching?


    ¡°Alpha¡­ I¡­ ¡±


    ¡°Spread your legs again,¡± he demanded.


    Self-respect said I should refuse him, but the animal part of me wanted sex. Rough sex it knew he could provide, even if it meant nothing more than physical pleasure. Timidly, I gave in to his demand.


    He sat on the bed and hungrily looked at my wet and glistening core, then ran his fingers along my pussy lips. I shivered under his touch. He shifted position, sliding his arms under my thighs and moving so that he was between my legs. With his eyes on mine, he licked his lips, then buried his face deep down my entrance. He teased and bit until I arched my back in pleasure. It felt incredible, and I never wanted him to stop.


    All too soon, he moved away and unbuttoned his jeans in haste. I bit my lower lip and caressed my breasts as I watched him. His cock sprung forward, hard and dripping with his arousal. He climbed on top and entered me, wasting no time, not even a second. My eyes widened as he buried his long length inside me in one swift motion.Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    He gave me no time to adjust to his size, pounding me hard right away, ignoring my cries of pain. To gain some purchase, I held the headboard above as he mmed into me over and over again. When he had enough of that position, he rose quickly, then threw me on my stomach and entered me from behind.


    My eyes rolled back in pleasure. My body answered his challenge with an orgasm, and he pounded even harder. I closed my eyes as my body began moving to match his pace. In moments, I came again.


    He withdrew and threw me onto my back again, driving into me once more, his eyes fierce as he hammered my pussy relentlessly. Eventually, his body became taut, and he pulled his cock out. Secondster, he sprayed his warm thick cum all over my chest and stomach.


    He looked like a naked Greek God, glistening with sweat. My eyes couldn¡¯t help but nce downward. His cock was still semi hard. When I met his eyes again, they looked dangerous, as though what he¡¯d just done hadn¡¯t been enough to satisfy him.


    ¡°Put some clothes on,¡± he said with hard eyes, ¡± I don¡¯t want to exhaust you before the arrival at thepetition. ¡±


    I nodded and covered myself with his shirt while his hard eyes continued to devour me until the light from the candles ended and I felt safe in his arms.

 Entering the kingdom of Zephyr

    Celine¡¯s POV :


    I covered my head with the nket when the sharp sunlight fell on my face. My thighs were sore and my mouth felt dry as if I had been breathing with my lips parted. It wasn¡¯t until I felt a heavy hand on my waist, I jerked back from the sleep. Alpha Tyrion was sleeping with his one leg all over my body and his hard erection poking me in the belly.


    The night turned fresh in my head as I recalled how he had watched me doing something which should be the most secretive thing in my life. I hated the fact that I had to show him my face today.


    ¡®Don¡¯t be so embarrassed. He lovedst night too. ¡® Belinay teased me.


    ¡®I will try to look invisible in front of him today. ¡® I muttered and quietly put his hand away on the pillow beside him.


    Without making any noise, I rushed to the bathroom and cleaned myself. As I made eye contact with my own reflection, a sweet feeling dropped in my belly. I could still feel his lips moving on too of my mouth and his hands searching for every corner on my body.


    I noticed a few bite marks and I instantly turned away from the mirror, feeling to overwhelmed at everything.


    ¡°Are you in there? ¡± I heard Alpha Tyrion banging on the bathroom door and my confidence left my soul.


    I stammered, ¡± I am justing out in two minutes. ¡±


    I didn¡¯t have any dress to wear so pulled his shirt again and buttoned it up. After puffing air and releasing it thrice, I found myself gathering the strength to open up the door.


    Alpha Tyrion was a mess too. His hair were pointing in different directions and he had lip stick marks on his neck.


    ¡°The maids have put your dress in the closet. We need to hurry up because the Kingdom is quite far away from here. ¡±


    He said without paying any attention to my red face which was a matter of good thing for me.


    ¡°I will be ready in a few minutes. ¡± I told him before he started the shower.


    At least he wasn¡¯t discussing about thest night, which was surprising yet in favour of me. To not indulge in any conversation, I needed to be busy or appear busy enough that we couldn¡¯t talk much.


    I pulled out the gown, a beautiful shade of purple, outlined by navy blue. It had golden touch to its shoulder which made it look like a magical piece of cloth.


    ¡°The jewelry¡­ ¡± I was shocked to find a maid waiting for me in the other corner of the room with a few boxes of jewelry in her hands. I went to check the styles and the silver one looked perfect.


    I immediately got dressed and did the basic makeup. I looked good enough to stand with the Alpha which made me wonder if all the ugly people had expensive clothes, they won¡¯t look bad like the rest of rich people.


    ¡°So, are we ready? ¡± Alpha Tyrion askeding out of the bathroom in his blue shirt and wet silky hair.


    Like a dumbfounded puppy, I watched him with lots of affection and passion. He did his hair and ran his fingers in the front of his forehead to let a few strands fall on his face.


    ¡°Get up ande here. ¡± Hemanded me and I didn¡¯t let him repeat himself twice.


    His eyes bore into mine, ¡± We are mates for the world and our wolves act crazy too in front of each other. I understand your arousal and the urge to mate as much as you want. But¡­ ¡± His eyes grew darker and his pupil dted, ¡± You will never touch yourself in the Lycan¡¯s kingdom. Never. ¡±


    The thing which I was dreading just happened and he showed his anger towards me in a very polite way.


    ¡°I am ashamed of that, Alpha. I will never do that again. ¡± I mumbled by keeping my head down.


    I heard a low growling from his wolf, ¡± You shouldn¡¯t be ashamed for pleasing yourself. I mean to say that I don¡¯t want any other man to catch a whiff of your arousal. Other than me¡­ ¡± He clenched his jaw.


    He was going to kiss me. That¡¯s what was going in my head all the time but he pulled away from me when someone knocked the door.


    ¡°Come in, Beta Rufus. ¡± He said before even looking at the direction of the man who entered.


    But indeed it was Beta Rufus and he was smirking as his eyes fell on my face.


    ¡°Everything is ready, Alpha. You and Celine will have a great journey to the Kingdom. ¡±


    Alpha Tyrion nodded and asked me to follow him. Both of them discussed about the pack border forces and Beta Rufus¡¯s strategy to take care of the pack in Alpha Tyrion¡¯s absence.


    ¡°The troublemaker will be there too. But don¡¯t lose your calm over a moron. He will try to inflict anger and get a reaction from you. ¡± Beta Rufus said, looking at the injured brother of Alpha Tyrion.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about him, Rufus. He will be the least of my concern in there. ¡±


    The cars were ready and Luna came in time to bid us goodbye. She was extremely proud and happy about our participation. Unlike other people, she wasn¡¯t praying for the win. Instead, she wanted the Alpha to start being more focused about his surrounding.


    ¡°You can do anything, Celine. I know you are a brave warrior and don¡¯t let anyone pull you down. ¡± She handed me a ne with the pack name on it.


    ¡°I will do my best and win the challenge. ¡± I said.


    Alpha Tyrion and I sat in the same car and it was followed by three other cars who had guards and dangerous wolves in it. The car ride was silent and to kill my boredom, I started to look outside the window.


    As the car glided down the open road, I found myself lost in thoughts, gazing out of the window. The passing scenery became a blur as my mind drifted to the changes and choices that had shaped my life.Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    The wind tousled my hair, whispering secrets of possibility. The rhythmic hum of the engine provided aforting backdrop to my introspection. In this moment of solitude, I reflected on the path I had taken and the path that lied ahead.


    My eyes fixated on the horizon, where the sun began to dip below the skyline, casting hues of orange and pink across the sky. It was as if nature itself was mirroring the transitions in my life, reminding me that change was inevitable and beautiful.


    As we entered the borders of the Pack Zephyr, my breath hitched in my throat. It was different yet so weing.


    The kingdom of Zephyr was a sight to behold. It was built on a high teau, surrounded by majestic mountains and lush forests. The city walls were made of white marble, gleaming in the sun. The pce was a masterpiece of architecture, with soaring towers, intricate carvings, and colorful domes. The streets were paved with gold, and filled with people from all walks of life. The kingdom was prosperous, peaceful, and proud. Something which I had only heard from the pack members about it.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go. ¡± Alpha Tyrion held his arm for me and I walked out of the car with him.


    ¡± The Beta of Zephyr, Remy, wees the first couple to thepetition.¡± The Beta Remy said, waiting at the main gate, along with arge delegation of nobles, warriors, and servants.


    He was dressed in a royal blue cloak, embroidered with silver stars. He wore a silver circlet on his head, and a sword at his side. He was handsome, strong, and loyal. He had served the Lycan of Zephyr, for many years, and was his trusted friend and advisor.


    He smiled as he saw the carriage approaching, escorted by a dozen riders.


    ¡°It¡¯s our pleasure to be able to participate in it. ¡± Alpha Tyrion added.


    ¡°We hope that the thepetition which is a test of skill, strength, and strategy, where the best warriors from different kingdoms arepeting for glory and honor will also be a chance to foster friendship and alliance among the kingdoms.¡± Beta Remy said.


    Remy bowed as the guards announced the arrival of the Lycan king Calle and Queen Emerald and my distress became too visible.


    ¡°Are you okay? ¡± Alpha Tyrion whispered in my ear when she felt I was trembling.


    ¡°I am scared, Alpha. ¡±


    He gave a light tap on my shoulder and brought me closer, ¡± You don¡¯t need to be scared of anything. ¡±


    The Lycan king and Queen walked closer with a silver brooch and the guards held the bouquet of flowers for them.


    ¡°We, the Lycan king and Queen of Kingdom Zephyr, wee Alpha Tyrion and his Luna Celine, to our pack and take part in the challenge. ¡±


    Lycan king Calle offered me his arm to walk and I looked up at him only to be dazzled with shock.


    His eyes were the same pair which haunted me for years in my dreams. Torturous and unforgiving¡­


    ¡°Do you know me? ¡± He smirked and forcibly took my hand in his to make me walk ahead of everyone with him.


    ¡®I think I know him¡­ ¡® Belinay whispered.

 Lycan king Vs Alpha Tyrion

    Celine¡¯s POV :


    Belinay was trying her hardest to recall about those eyes of Lycan King Calle but it was noting to her senses somehow.


    Maybe it was just a coincidence, I tried to reason myself with the fact. His eyes, a light shade of red, and outlined with green, had something peculiar about them. It was almost ethereal, as if he didn¡¯t belong here.


    He was out of this in world and the powers surrounding it.


    ¡°Stop running your mind like that. It gets to exhaustion and you will not have anything answered at all. ¡± He spoke and I almost jumped because I was so deep in my thoughts that I had forgotten about my surrounding altogether.


    I stammered, ¡± Thank you for weing us. ¡±


    I carefully looked behind to find Alpha Tyrion talking to the beta and his eyes were fixed on me as he watched the Lycan King taking me into the pack. It was surprising for both of us because he had not acknowledged Alpha Tyrion once and was being toofortable with me.


    Lycan King Calle smiled, ¡± I have always wanted to wee you here but s I couldn¡¯t find the chance to send you an invitation. ¡±


    I frowned at his statement and was unable to understand his meaning behind the words. But send a possible exnation came to my mind and I thought about how he would have been waiting to invite the Lunas and Alphas for thepetition because it was once in a while held thing for most of the packs.


    I was unable to see the queen as she was busy with other guests but I could feel something weird in her movements as she tried to give me quick nces on my way.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    ¡± I have arranged a special chamber for you. ¡± The Lycan king opened a door which led to the most beautiful room I had ever seen. I was afraid that I might have gasped at first and he would have seen my face. But he was just smiling and letting me get a proper view of the ce.


    I felt his hand on the back of my shoulders and his fingers grasped my gown a little too harshly. I immediately felt ufortable under his touch.


    ¡°Did you like it? ¡± He whispered,ing closer to me.


    At that moment, I saw that he didn¡¯t look that old for his age and there were just a few grey stands in his hair. He was undeniably tall and muscr which added to my difort.


    I nodded, ¡± Thank you. ¡±


    I was nning to just go inside and shut the door because I really didn¡¯t want to continue any conversation with him but to my luck I saw Alpha Tyrioning our way with a big frown in his face.


    ¡± I was looking out for you. ¡± Alpha Tyrion muttered under his breath, ¡± You should have just told me that you were going with the king. ¡±


    He wrapped his arms around me, scooping me closer to his chest. I could see that he was trying to mark his territory and make the king understand that I belonged to him. And I was notining at all.


    But Lycan king definitely had a scowl resting on his tough face. He wasn¡¯t pleased with our closeness which seemed so uncalled given I was with my mate.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, Alpha Tyrion. Celine was with me and I was showing her, her chamber. ¡±


    Alpha Tyrion raised his brow, ¡± Our chamber? ¡±


    The Lycan smirked, ¡± No, the Lunas and Alphas stay in different rooms for thepetition. Your chamber is in the other side of the pack along with other Alphas. ¡±


    I was a little baffled by the revtion and so was my mate. Alpha Tyrion gave him a hard look, almost on the verge of screaming at the top of his lungs.


    ¡°I don¡¯t think that¡¯s how it should be. I am not going to leave my woman alone in the chamber because I don¡¯t trust anyone here. No one. And I mean it. ¡±


    The Lycan king was amused by his anger, ¡± Alpha Tyrion, other women will stay here too and it¡¯s guarded with high security. Please respect the rules. ¡±


    Alpha Tyrion scoffed, ¡± I don¡¯t think it is an important rule for thepetition and I am not going to follow it. ¡±


    The Lycan growled this time, making me flinch. I held Alpha¡¯s hand tightly and he made me stand behind him.


    ¡°Tyrion, I know you are a very smart man. So, you must know that when you signed up for thepetition you had already agreed for the terms and conditions. This is term number 13 which says that the male and the female are supposed to stay in separate ces in order to avoid segregation of the couples. ¡±


    I could feel from the tone of his voice that the Lycan king was not entertaining Alpha¡¯s doubt anymore and it was already decided. I knew that it was not good for him to get in trouble on the very first day and that too because of me. After all, we were here to participate and to win.


    ¡± I think the Lycan king is right and because we have already agreed to be in thepetition we need to follow the rules. I am fine with the staying in the chamber with all the other women. ¡±


    Alpha Tyrion was offended with my eagerness to agree with the king. He stared at me with his deadly gaze and I pouted at him.


    ¡°Celine is a very smartdy. ¡± The Lycan king smirked.


    Alpha Tyrion nodded, ¡± She¡¯s a very articte woman and my mate. ¡±


    I was surprised to see this side of him because I always thought that he had never epted me. Even though, I knew that it was just his dominant side making sure that the other male knew I was marked yet it was one of the most beautiful feeling in the world.


    ¡®The mate ims us as his¡­¡¯ Belinay moaned.


    ¡°Oh, I thought it was Ava. Maybe you choose whatever women decides to stay with you and you start loving them. ¡±


    The Lycan king was testing his patience and Alpha Tyrion growled.


    I was terrified of the possibility that they would have a fight. But luckily, the Beta intervened.


    ¡°We need to wee Alpha Kristian and Luna Ava. ¡±


    The Lycan king smirked again, ¡± Herees another couple. ¡± He turned to me, ¡± Celine, take rest. I will meet you in the evening. ¡±


    And Alpha Tyrion didn¡¯t like when his hands touched my shoulder as he walked through the corridor.

 Bully Ava

    Celine¡¯s POV :


    ¡°What the f*ck is wrong with him? ¡± Alpha Tyrion roared when we were alone again. He ran his hand in his hair and punched the wall behind him, leaving a huge hole. I was terrified of his erratic behavior in the Lycan¡¯s pce because it would draw attention to us and might not work in his favor.


    ¡°I think the Lycan king has the authority to decide the rules for thepetition. ¡± I added and it irritated him further.


    He scoffed,¡± But it was never a rule in the past. ¡±


    I sighed and nervously cleared my throat,¡± Rules change, Alpha.¡±


    Alpha Tyrion red at me with his jaw clenched angrily, ¡°Aren¡¯t you supporting him too much?¡±


    His eyes used me of something that never even crossed my mind and I felt immense difort as Alpha Tyrion took me in a tight embrace all of a sudden. His body pushed me into the wall and my heart beat against his chest. I wanted to get away from him but he used his arms to block my exit from both sides. I was trapped by him and the wall from all sides.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t mean to disrespect you, Alpha,¡± I whispered, keeping my eyes on him.


    He pressed himself into me more, ¡± You will always be on my side and respect me because of this¡­¡± He touched my mark,¡± I might have acted like a powerless man but now when we are here in thepetition, I will not let my woman engage in any conversation with other men.¡±


    I nodded,¡± I understand that.¡±


    We heard the sounds of footsteps behind us and Alpha Tyrion let me go, only toe face to face with Ava. She was seething with hatred and anger as her eyes moved on our hands which were still locked with each other. I instantly let go of his hand and took a few steps away from both of them. They just stared into each other¡¯s eyes and I noticed the small bump she had started to show by now. It was the proof that they had once been in love and had epted each other a long time ago.


    If Ava was here then Alpha Tyrion would go back to hating me because the guilt of leaving his pregnant girlfriend was always disheartening for him. But I didn¡¯t want his mean side to surface. Not in this kingdom at least when everyone hated me for being a rogue and a maid. It was as if it was written on my forehead and they had the right to bully me.


    ¡± I will meet you when the official statement is out.¡± Alpha Tyrion told me before walking out and not giving Ava a single nce on his way. She was trying to get him to look at her, to acknowledge her presence. Her pitiful eyes turned hard as soon as Alpha Tyrion left.


    I knew it would be no good for me to stay in front of her and decided to enter my chamber. As I turned the knob, I felt her painfully grabbing my hair.


    ¡± F*cking Bit*h!¡± She screamed, ¡± What spell did you cast on him?¡± She screamed.


    I covered her fist with my hands to not let her tear my hair from my scalp. But she was raging and her grip wouldn¡¯t loosened on me as much as I tried.


    ¡°Leave me! ¡± I cried, trying to run back into my chamber.


    She pped me hard, ¡± You ruined everything for me! Everything! It was supposed to be me in your ce. He was mine and we were meant to be together before you jumped in for the luxury. ¡±


    My fingers touched the hot side of my cheek, feeling like it was bitten by hundreds of bees. I could easily push her away but then it would mean hurting a pregnant woman and I didn¡¯t want to do it.


    ¡°I know whatever I did was wrong but please don¡¯t hurt me. ¡±


    She spat on my face and I wiped it with my hand, ¡± You dared to take part in this challenge as his mate. Huh? You think you will get the Luna Queen tittle and rule over everyone. You¡¯re a fu*king maid who¡¯s good for nothing other than serving the royals! ¡±


    Belinay was edging with resentment and anger as her limit to bear with Ava¡¯s tantrums reached a new level. I could feel the build up in her heart, but she was being calm for the sake of the unborn.


    ¡°Ava, ¡± I said again and snatched my hand away from her grab. I could see the marks of her fingers which formed into bruises on my arm and it felt like branches which turned ck.


    ¡°I will make your life so miserable here that you will regret crossing paths with me¡­ ¡± She said through gritted teeth, ¡± And about Tyrion, he will be wrapped around my little finger soon. I will let him fu*k me because he is the father of our child. ¡±


    With that, she gave me a hard push against the wall and walked to her chamber which was adjacent to mine. She looked at me and did a beheading sign with her hand before going in and mming the door.


    The stinging feeling on my cheek was still there and so were the bruises. She was a woman without any heart or emotions. And she hated me.


    What was she going to do to make my life miserable here?


    ¡®If she wasn¡¯t pregnant, I would have attacked her by now. ¡® Belinay roared.


    ¡®I know and I would have defended myself too. ¡®


    I pondered about telling Alpha Tyrion at once but then I realized it would be the start of bullying and he wouldn¡¯t understand me. He wouldn¡¯t believe me enough. I had to stay away from Ava, anyhow. She was ready to kill me if that¡¯s what it took to secure her ce in Alpha Tyrion¡¯s life.N?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    I entered my room too and just sat on the bed for a round 15 minutes. The challenge was difficult, Ava was here to make me cry, Alpha Tyrion was always pissed and Lycan king was just something different.


    ¡°Celine? ¡±


    I looked up to see the Luna Queen standing in my room because I had not locked it. She caught the sight of my bruised hands and filled with worry, she fell on her knees.


    ¡°Did the Lycan king hurt you? How could he do this? ¡± She shook her head.


    Why would the lycan king try to hurt me? And was she touching my face with her eyes filled with tears.

 Sit on my lap

    Celine¡¯s POV :


    ¡°Are you alright? ¡± I asked her because she had begun to hyperventte. Her chest puffed with theck of oxygen and she took sharp breaths to calm herself down.


    ¡°Sorry, I thought you were hurt. ¡± She answered, getting back to normal.


    I frowned as the confusion dawned on me even more than before. Her eyes reflected some sort of secret which made me attracted to know whatever it was.


    ¡°Why would I be hurt? Thepetition hasn¡¯t started yet. ¡± I chuckled a little.


    As I gazed intently into the Luna Queen¡¯s eyes, I heard her voice resonate with a profound sense of wisdom and urgency.


    ¡°My dear, you must exercise caution,¡± the queen warned, her words reverberating through the ethereal chamber. ¡°Life is abyrinth of unforeseen trials, and you must always be prepared to confront them head-on.¡±


    I couldn¡¯t help but feel a chill run down my spine as I absorbed the gravity of the queen¡¯s words. Renowned for her unparalleled power and foresight, the Luna Queen had never spoken to anyone so directly before. I knew I must heed the queen¡¯s advice if I wished to navigate the treacherous path thaty ahead.


    ¡°I will do my best, Luna. ¡±? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    ¡°You have to. There¡¯s no other option. The kingdoms are bound to face a never ending misery and you are the one who needs to be at the front¡­ ¡± She stopped mid sentence and shook her head.


    ¡°I don¡¯t understand¡­ ¡±


    ¡°I know. But remember you are not weak. Never were. I know you will show your true self very soon. ¡±


    Something in her voice was so motivating that I could see my wolf prancing around my head and ready to run out of the chamber to fight anyone.


    ¡°I promise you. I will change myself. ¡±


    From that moment on, I pledged to sharpen my mind, fortify my spirit, and be equipped for any obstacle that dared to obstruct my way. With the Luna Queen¡¯s guidance and my own resolute determination, I would be able to encounter the challenges that loomed ahead, armed with the confidence that had been given a somber caution from amanding and all-knowing ruler.


    The Queen abruptly began to leave, her face turned hard again.


    ¡°Anyways, I hope this will be a fruitful journey for you here. ¡±


    I was about to ask her more but a weird lookingdy standing at the door gave a chuckle. Her eyes were a little orange, a huge scar running on her face, and her cheeks looked hollow.


    ¡°Maya, you didn¡¯t need toe here. ¡± The Luna Queen sounded stressed and¡­ scared.


    Maya smirked as she red at me, ¡± I wanted to meet with young powerful lunas like you. Can¡¯t I do that? ¡±


    The Luna Queen turned behind to look at me and grabbed the woman¡¯s hand to take her out, ¡± She needs rest. We should leave now. ¡±


    ¡°She needs to be at the wee dinner party in a few hours. ¡± Maya gave me ast look and I was sure that I saw a pair of fangsing out of her mouth, as a warning or something. But before I could pay more attention, she was gone. I sighed and rubbed the back of my neck.


    The Lycan king Calle was the one who had acted differently to me but now it seemed like the whole pce was living in delusions.


    ¡®What if we have some connection to the Lycan blood? ¡® Belinay asked.


    I wanted tough and howl at her assumptions, ¡® What sort of connection? Don¡¯t think about those fairytales. We aren¡¯t any lost princess.¡¯


    I sat down on the bed and covered myself with the nket.


    ¡®What if we are? I do feel the trust bond with Luna Queen. ¡® She said again.


    ¡®And what about the Lycan king? Don¡¯t you feel any connection to him? ¡®


    ¡®He scares me, Celine¡­ ¡®


    I was astonished to know about the fear my wolf faced from a man who we had met hours ago. She had never be scared around anyone before, not even our adopted father.


    ¡®I¡­¡¯


    Three maids knocked on the open door and I realised I had forgotten to lock it. They carried the gowns and jewelry to the tables and ced them there to stand again before me. Everything looked so formal, as if they were taught to just do a few steps and not even blink wrong.


    ¡°Please let us help you for the dinner. ¡± one of them said, looking at the floor.


    I wanted to groan and deny but I knew there was no option for that. Alpha Tyrion needed my support through this tough phase and I had to be there for him every single second. I walked to the huge mirror and sat down, followed by the maids.


    They started working on my hair and I stared at my reflection which looked so depressed and alone.


    ¡°Are you working here for long? ¡± I asked.


    They looked at each other and ignored my question. I was a little disheartened by their behavior but was also aware they didn¡¯t want to talk to random Lunas and get punishment if the Luna didn¡¯t like something they said.


    As the maids tirelessly assisted me in getting ready for the highly anticipated Royal dinner, my mind was consumed with a mixture of excitement and apprehension.


    Adorned in a breathtaking gown, every detail meticulously attended to by the skilled hands of the maids, I couldn¡¯t help but feel a surge of nervousness. The thought of being in the presence of royals, with their regalposure andmanding presence, sent a shiver down me spine. Would I be able to hold my own amidst the elegance and grace that surrounded me?


    The weight of expectation bore down upon me as I wondered if my mannerisms and poise would be up to par. But as the final touches were made to my hair and makeup, I took a deep breath, determined to embrace the evening with confidence and grace.


    After all, we had been invited to this grand asion for a reason. I had to use the little charm, intellect, and unique qualities that would capture the attention of the royals.


    ¡°Gorgeous! ¡± one of the maids whispered but the others eyed her down.


    I smiled politely at her, ¡± Thank you. It means a lot to me. ¡±


    As I stepped into the corridor, my worries faded away, reced by a glimmer of excitement. Alpha Tyrion stood there with his hand ready for me and he watched me so much admiration that I could feel my cheeks turning red.


    ¡°Celine, you¡¯re looking so beautiful. I can¡¯t even take my eyes off you¡­ ¡± He said almost losing his control over his senses and I felt his lips on my neck.


    ¡°I am just so nervous¡­¡±


    He smiled, ¡± You don¡¯t have to be. Nobody will dare to say anything. If they do, I will kill them. ¡±


    I gasped and shook my head but he kissed me again. I walked with him to the ballroom and almost felt that I had achieved everything.


    The evening held the promise of enchantment, mingling with the elite and sharing in the beauty and splendor of the Royal dinner and presenting myself as the Luna of Alpha Tyrion.


    Maya and Lycan king Calle were talking to each other in a corner and once they noticed me, the king red at Alpha Tyrion¡¯s arm which was wrapped around my waist.


    ¡°Here, let me take thedy to the party¡­ ¡® The lycan king said, offering his hand to me.


    Alpha Tyrion didn¡¯t like the offer and his grip tightened, ¡± I will take my woman with me. ¡±


    ¡°Your woman? ¡± The kingughed and I knew if he didn¡¯t stop right now, there would be blood because Alpha Tyrion was already pissed at him.


    ¡°My woman. Yes. ¡± Alpha Tyrion said through gritted teeth.


    Maya held the Lycan king¡¯s arm and dragged him with her, giving us a fake smile.


    ¡°I will kill him. ¡± He muttered angrily.


    Ava walked past us and nced at Alpha Tyrion who didn¡¯t look at her. She was enraged and almost ran out of there. I tried to calm him down and we finally joined the dinner with all the other Alphas and Lunas.


    The Lycan king Calle was back again and Maya was behind him. Alpha Tyrion turned rigid as he saw him from anger.


    ¡°Sit on myp. ¡± He told me.


    I watched him horrified and looked around, there were a few couple who were so close to each other but it would be so off for us to try it in public. But when I saw Ava, trying her best to make Alpha Tyrion look at her for once, I was consumed by jealousy.


    I made myselffortable on hisp and he wrapped his arm around my waist.


    ¡®Rip your clothes and mate publicly. ¡® My crazy wild wolf moaned.

 Party and kain

    Celine¡¯s POV :


    I had to control my lustful desires even though I could feel the erection of Alpha Tyrion poking me in the thigh. I could barely manage acting normal when his hands roamed over my back.


    ¡°Are youfortable? ¡± He asked, whispering in my ear.


    I nodded and gulped down the juice which was served to us by the maids. The Luna Queen was watching me from time to time but somehow she acted as if we hadn¡¯t talked in the chamber ever. I too didn¡¯t make any advancements to her and peacefully cherished the moment of love with my mate.


    The Lycan King Calle was around the corner and Maya was almost keeping him in his limit. By now, one thing was clear in my head which was that the king had no good intentions towards me. In fact, he seemed to be a very dangerous and creepy man who didn¡¯t leave any chance to get near me. But he didn¡¯t try to even introduce himself to the other Lunas. Not even Ava.


    Something strange was going on around me and I was scared to find out one day why it all included me¡­


    ¡°We wee all the participants to the kingdom of Zephyr for the finalpetition to get the Throne. I appreciate the determination and passion which everyone has showed till now. The challenge is not going to be easy which you all know from the very beginning but I am also aware that each one of you is prepared to face the obstacles. The dinner tonight marks the starting point of this journey and with great pleasure I give you all my blessings and luck to win and rule over the packs. ¡±


    It was one of the elders of the pack who with a huge smile weed us. I had somehow heard the gossips which were going around in the pce. The maids discussed about how the Lycan king and Queen never had an heir which had caused their ruling period to be short and hands they had two conduct thepetition earlier than before.


    Now, looking at the Lycan king I could see that he was still very young because his bloodline consisted of thest Lycan¡¯s breed who have a lifespan of 200 years and he was barely 50.


    ¡± I understand that winning apetition might cause jealousy and anger towards each other but you all have to keep it in mind that you are fighting within the prescribed rules and regtions. We don¡¯t want any other conspiracies to be included to get the Crown. ¡± The elder continued, ¡± Please enjoy the dinner and get ready for a new day. ¡±


    We pped for him and he was taken back to the chair with the help of the guards. We heard other people giving more wee speeches andter we were allowed to act informal among each other.


    ¡°Brother? ¡±


    I snapped my head at the direction of the sound and saw Kain giggling as he kissed the blonde wrapping her legs around him.


    ¡°Don¡¯t fu*king start anything now¡­ ¡± Alpha Tyrion¡¯s voice was restricted and showed his anger.


    His eyes fell on me and he gave a genuine smile, something which I wanted to appreciate but couldn¡¯t because it would mean to disrespect Alpha Tyrion against him.


    ¡°You¡¯re looking beautiful tonight but this guy with you doesn¡¯t deserve your affection. Remember, how he will throw you out after the contract ends. ¡± Kain muttered under his breath and I felt the embarrassment looming over me for what it was the reality.


    Alpha Tyrion growled and Kain immediately walked away to not get into a fight. I tried to get up from hisp because it had all started to weigh me down and I didn¡¯t find sitting on his thigh so attractive after all.? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    ¡°We are mates for thepetition and you¡¯re carrying my Mark. I don¡¯t want anyone to think that we are pretending just to participate in the challenge. And sorry, I usually block your thoughts to give you privacy but sometimes I let my wolf listen to them. ¡± He added after a few seconds of silence.


    I gave him a nod because I always forgot how he could listen to my thoughts but was polite enough to not intrude my privacy all the time.


    ¡°Alpha Tyrion¡­ ¡± An old man stood behind us and Alpha let go of me to talk to him.


    ¡°Beta Thom, it¡¯s a pleasant surprise. I thought you wouldn¡¯t be here because of the pack responsibility. ¡±


    Beta Thom scoffed, ¡± Do you really think they want old Betas to look after the packs when a young Beta is assigned? ¡±


    Alpha Tyrion gave him an apologetic smile, ¡± I always think you are more capable than any young Beta or Alpha. But I am d you are here. ¡±


    I found myself looking around to part my attention anywhere else because there conversation was pretty boring and I felt like an intruder listening to them discussing about their house pack matters. I touched Alpha Tyrion¡¯s arm and told him that I would be going to get the drinks for me. He wasn¡¯t ready to let me go on my own but his conversation with Beta Thom made him go to get my own drinks and food.


    I grabbed my gown and lifted it a little to walk around. The maid served me another ss and I was nervous to ask her for the straw looking at her thoughtfully, which made the ss slip off from my hand. The juice fell on my gown and I gasped when I saw the orange color making a huge patch on it.


    ¡°Ooh, I am really sorry¡­ ¡± I said to the maid.


    She was scared too, ¡± No, I am sorry. Please let me help you. ¡±


    Some women shouted for drinks and she looked behind herself, getting confused as what to do.


    ¡°Do your work. I¡¯ll manage it on my own. Just tell me where¡¯s the restroom? ¡± I told her.


    ¡°Just around the corner to the left. And I am really sorry for the trouble I caused you. ¡±


    I had to immediately leave for the restroom to clean the juice off and without paying any attention to the room, I pushed it open.


    To my horror, I found Kain fu*king Maya from behind as her hair were wrapped around his fist. They looked up at me and Maya instantly tried to cover herself up but Kain held her in ce to her resistance.


    ¡°Wanna join, baby? My co*k will love to taste you too. ¡± Kain smirked and I closed the door to leave them doing whatever they were on.


    ¡®He fuc*s everything¡­ that breathes¡­ ¡®Belinay said rolling in my head withughter¡­

 You’re mine

    Celine¡¯s POV :


    I frantically ran away in the corridor and collided with none other than the Lycan king. He touched my arms and rubbed the back of his hand on my cheek as concern clouded his face.


    ¡°Why are you out of breath, my dear? ¡± He asked, ¡± Is there something troubling you? ¡±


    His skin felt cold against my cheek and I couldn¡¯t look into his deep questioning eyes. Somehow, he hade closer to me within a few seconds and was already invading my private space.


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing, Lycan king. I just spilled a little juice on my gown. ¡± I managed to say under his deep stare.


    He gasped, ¡± You need to hurry up then. We don¡¯t want the juice to leave a mark. ¡±


    I wanted to tell him that I would manage everything on my own and that I didn¡¯t like how he was always there when I never wanted him. But, because of my low status and anxiety I couldn¡¯t utter a single word and aimlessly followed him around. Instead of using themon washroom, he took me to his special chamber.


    ¡± I think I will just go to my room and change the dress now. ¡± I said, before entering his chamber as I stood at the door.


    He turned back with a scowl on his face, ¡± I hope that you don¡¯t think that I am trying to harm you in anyway because in reality I am the only person here who cares about you. ¡±


    His voice was calm, yet filled with some dangerous undertone.


    ¡± I have no doubt on you, King. I just feel that I should change it now because there is no need to wipe the mark off. ¡±


    He looked at the dark stain which had now turn into permanent mark. He held my hand and covered it both of his huge palms.


    ¡°Will you meet me tonight? ¡± He bit his lip and I instantly shrugged off my hand from his grip.


    All this time, I had a bad gut feeling which I didn¡¯t pay attention to which made me so stupid that I thought I was wrong about this man. But now, he was literally throwing his formal facade away and showing me who he really was.


    ¡± I think you have misunderstood my kindness and respect towards you in a wrong way. I have a mate and I am not interested in any other option from you. ¡± I said through gritted teeth.


    I didn¡¯t wait for his answer and was about to leave when he wrapped my arm and forced me to look into his eyes, ¡± I think you misunderstood me. Because I only want to help you. ¡±


    I tried to get away from him but this time she had caught me between his both arms and I was unable to escape.


    ¡± I don¡¯t need your help at all. ¡±


    And with that I turned to leave.


    ¡°So, you don¡¯t want to know about your parents and how did you end up in another pack just after 2 hours of your birth? ¡± He asked, ¡± Or maybe you are not interested in knowing what happened to your parents. ¡±


    The mention of my parents and my birth made me run right back to where he was. He had a small smile resting on his face while his eyes shed the small fire burning in them.


    ¡°What do you mean? Do you know about them? ¡±


    I was almost begging him as he stood without giving me any more answer.


    ¡°I knew them. ¡± He finally said.


    ¡°Where are they? What happened to them? ¡±


    He narrowed his eyes and his fingers ran across my face and rested on my neck. He took a whiff of my scent and growled.


    ¡°Nothing is free in this world. ¡± His eyes were closed as he spoke, ¡± Especially the mystery of your birth and the parents. ¡±


    My wolf growled in my chest, wanting to challenge him. To fight him, to show him he was inferior to me and yet had the audacity to act like a deranged man in front of my mighty wolf. Belinay wanted to take over and make him bow down at her. Even though it made no sense but yet I wanted it to happen this time.


    ¡°I don¡¯t believe you. You are lying just to spend a night with me. ¡± I scoffed.


    His pupils dted with anger and disrespect, he grabbed my hair and mmed my body against the wall, ¡± What do you mean by one night? I want you for every night. Till eternity. ¡±


    I pushed him away with all the energy in my petite body and snarled, ¡± Never. I belong to no one. ¡±


    Heughed, ¡± Don¡¯t you belong to Tyrion now? ¡±


    ¡°No, I don¡¯t belong to him. It¡¯s just the contract. I am no one¡¯s mate. He means nothing to me. ¡±


    Lycan king Calleughed looking into the corridor and I turned my head to find Alpha Tyrion watching us, his fists clenched together as he took steps closer to me.


    I felt the dominance of my mate and kept my eyes on the floor. He didn¡¯t even as much give a nce to the Lycan. His focus was on me. Only me. He had heard me saying the thing and he wasn¡¯t happy.


    I felt his arms around my waist as he lifted me in the air and threw me over his shoulder.


    ¡°I am taking my mate to the chamber. We have the first day ofpetition tomorrow. ¡±


    He wasn¡¯t asking for his permission but stating the fact that I would stay in his chamber tonight. I clung to the back of his shirt and he carried me to his chamber. I was thrown on the bed and he locked the door behind him.


    ¡°I¡­. I didn¡¯t mean to say that. ¡± I said, before he could even say anything.


    Without answering me first, he took off his shirt and came over me. He put my hair in a bun and touched his mark.


    ¡°This mark right here says you¡¯re mine. ¡± He said coldly. ¡± You¡¯re not my fated mate, I know. But somehow, after I marked you, I have felt no attraction to any woman. Including Ava. I have been loyal to you both mentally and physically. Are you loyal to me? ¡±


    He asked, his mouth brushing against my lips.N?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    ¡°Yes, I have never crossed the line either. ¡±


    ¡± Do you n to though? ¡± He raised his brow.


    ¡°No, never. I will never betray you. ¡±


    He took a deep breath, ¡± I hate liars, cheaters and cunning people. If you ever dare to backstab me, I will never forgive you. I have forgiven you once after you told me about your fake father. I trusted you. Didn¡¯t I? He asked, loosening the strings of my gown.


    ¡± Yes, you have been very cooperative with me. ¡±


    ¡°I gave you a chance. Even though, I could have made your life miserable. Does it make me a weak Alpha because I want to respect your struggle as a woman? ¡±


    ¡°No, you¡¯re the strongest man I have ever met. ¡±


    ¡°Should I be crazy and lunatic? ¡± He asked and I shook my head in a huge no.


    ¡°Will you stay away from unwanted men? Will you tell me them you¡¯re mine?! Mine. ¡±


    He attacked my mouth and our tongues fought for dominance. He was rough with me and i liked it. I had never thought Alpha Tyrion would say something like that to me. That he wasn¡¯t even interested in Ava.


    ¡°Stop thinking about her. ¡± He whispered in my ear as he entered me and I wrapped my legs around him.


    ¡°I will breed you, tonight. ¡± He said with each thrust sending shivers to my body.


    **************

 First day of the challenge

    Celine¡¯s POV :


    The night was fresh in my mind as I got ready for the first day of thepetition. I was still in confusion as to be if I should be happy that my mate was getting possessive for me or the fact that the king knew about my parents and he was the only one who could reveal The Secret to me.


    I had pulled my hair into a long French braid and war the armour set which was provided to all of us by the maids early in the morning. In the belt area, there was space for keeping a sword, a dagger and an extra pouch for other stuff.


    ¡®We are ready. ¡® Belinay announced.


    We had to get to the pack training building by 7:00 AM and it was already 6:50 so I hurriedly got out of the chamber.


    Ava was wearing the same set of armour but in a different shade of green and her eyes looked puffy fromck of sleep and maybe crying all night. But as soon as she saw me, her demeanor changed again and the mean girl look shed across her face.


    ¡°Bi*ch, I am excited to show you your ce. I feel bad for Tyrion though because he wouldn¡¯t like to be eliminated in the first round and on the very first day. ¡± She smirked and made an ugly face.


    I shrugged, ¡± I think you should worry about your strategy rather than keeping an eye on us. ¡±


    This sent her go howling and gritting her teeth, ¡± I, the only daughter of a powerful Alpha, carrying his blood, and the child of another powerful and dominant Alpha, don¡¯t need any strategy. Even my unborn is more powerful than a trash like you. After all, Tyrion isn¡¯t a weak man¡­ ¡±


    She licked her lips, rubbing her small protruding belly from the armour. I shook my head to not let her vile words go through my head because I needed to concentrate. And whatever happened between them or would happen was a thing out of my hands. Alpha Tyrion had promised me that he was loyal to me for the given time of our bond. Nothing else mattered to me.


    ¡°All the best, Ava. ¡±


    ¡°Fu*k off, piece of sh*t. ¡± She screamed and pushed me a little to walk ahead of me.


    I clenched my jaw and closed my eyes. I had to cool down. Anger was going to make me weak. I needed the aggression and determination for the actualpetition. I had another reason to give my best. To show Ava that blood wasn¡¯t only factor in deciding who gets to the powerful position.


    Outside thedies¡¯s chamber, our mates were waiting for us. Alpha Tyrion looked so devilishly handsome in his silver blue armour and a huge sword. He took my hand in his and nted a kiss on the back of my palm.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous. I will always be there for you. Winning today isn¡¯t important. ¡±


    My heart broke again for me. The man who had prepared himself since childhood to get the throne, was giving me hope that it wasn¡¯t important enough.


    Belinay took it as an insult and growled in my chest, ¡± Alpha, winning is important. I know I haven¡¯t prepared myself for it but I will not wait to get eliminated without doing anything. ¡±


    He was proud of me as his eyes changed color, ¡± Remember, keep that magic of your eyes within yourself. We still don¡¯t know, what it was. ¡±


    I nodded, ¡± I will try to keep everything in check. ¡±


    We walked together to the centre and joined the couples who were already standing ording to their ranks. The Lycan king along with Queen came for announcing the start of thepetition.


    I could feel my heart speeding up just by a mere look from him. He dared to do that offensive thing yesterday and now I couldn¡¯t trust his any speech or oath. Maybe he was same with every women. He might be like Kain who wanted different girls for himself to make his stupid ego feel better.


    ¡°The challenge starts today and all thest finalised couples are present. After thoroughly checking up the eligibility requirements, we passed these 14 couples who joined earlier orter ording to their capabilities. The rules are clear and concrete. You need to fight for the throne and win the heir title to the crown after me.¡± Lycan king Calle announced.


    The Queen looked tense to me, her eyes focused on the ground. When she lifted her head up, I could see the purplish grey puffy balls under her beautiful eyes. Maybe she was crying or didn¡¯t get enough sleep. Whatever the reason was, I knew it had to do something with the king.


    Her warning shed through my head, and I grew worried for her well- being. What if she already knew about her mate and his intentions? She had warned me the first day.Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    ¡°Get ready and discuss with each other. Beta Remy will exin the challenge for today and the points structure. ¡± He added and got down to the seats. I noticed how the Queen snatched het hand away from him when he tried to hold her.


    Beta Remy took his ce and gave us a warm smile, ¡± Lunase and stand to the right in a queue. Alphas keep standing at your ce. ¡±


    I walked to the front of the queue and Alpha Tyrion touched my arm, assuring me he was there. Ava literally bumped into me and forced me to stand behind her.


    ¡°Ava, let here forward. ¡± Beta Remy told her.


    She scoffed, ¡± I am pregnant not ill. ¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not about that. Alpha Tyrion¡¯s mate holds more authority than you. ¡±


    She stood froze for a few seconds but with clenched teeth gave me space to stand in the first position. She was murmuring something under her breath against me which I blocked from my mind. I didn¡¯t need her negativity today.


    ¡± I know each one of you knows the rules and requirements. But I will still give you a little brief.¡±He said, ¡°The challenge consists of two parts: the Moon Trial and the Sun Trial. The Moon Trial is a test of strength, speed, and endurance, where the Alphas and Lunas have to race across thend under the full moon, facing various obstacles and enemies along the way. The first ten Alphas to reach the finish line will qualify for the second part of the challenge. ¡±


    ¡± And The Sun Trial is a test of wisdom, courage, and loyalty, where the Lunas have to solve a series of riddles and puzzles under the scorching sun, while protecting their mates from harm. The Lunas have to work together with their Alphas, using their bond and their abilities to ovee the challenges. The first pair toplete the Sun Trial will be crowned as the Alpha king and the Luna queen, and will rule over the twenty kingdoms for the next hundred years.¡± He told the same thing which Alpha Tyrion had informed me.


    ¡°And even to get into the Moon trial, we have a small test. Do, today, all the fourteen couples need to use all their bond and connection to win against the tricky situations. ¡±


    I took a deep breath and turned my head to look at Alpha who was already looking at me. He gave me a thumbs up and a very sweet smile. At this moment, I knew that I could have never asked for anything more than this. Beta Remy gave us a big paper with the Royal stamp which had the challenge description and rules. We were then allowed to go back to our mates and had only 30 minutes to discuss. I immediately ran back to Alpha Tyrion who took us to the quiet corner.


    He read everything to me aloud and then even described the points clearly.


    The challenge was called **The Hunt**. It was a test of strength, speed, strategy, and teamwork. Each couple had to track down and capture a wild beast in the forest, using only their natural abilities and a pair of silver daggers. The beast could be any creature, from a wolf to a bear, but it had to be alive and unharmed when brought back to the castle. The first 10 couple to return with their prize would win the challenge and earn a point for the heir selection.


    Alphas and Lunas had different roles in the challenge. Alphas were the leaders, the hunters, the fighters. They had enhanced senses, reflexes, and agility. Lunas were the supporters, the healers, the nners. We could mind- link each other and talk all the time through the challenge.


    The challenge was not easy. The forest was vast, dark, and dangerous. There were other predators lurking in the shadows, ready to attack or steal the prey. There were also traps and obstacles set by the royal guards, to make the challenge more difficult and exciting. We had to work together, trust each other, and use our strengths and weaknesses wisely.


    The challenge was a test of our bond, our loyalty, and the love. I wasn¡¯t sure about love but everything else was in my power.


    ¡°Another thing, those animals are all shifters. We have to be very careful with that too. ¡± Alpha Tyrion added and my mouth hung open with shock and fear.


    Shifters! How would I fight against those predators?

 Shifters

    Celine¡¯s POV:


    ¡°We are not just going to run into the woods and let everything put on our luck. ¡± Alpha Tyrion said once he noticed my despair, ¡± I will formte a proper n and strategy. We just need to follow that. Believe me, it¡¯s not that difficult. ¡±


    I could only hope that this challenge would not be so difficult for me because Alpha Tyrion was a pretty good match for those beasts.


    ¡°Will they attack us? ¡± I asked.


    ¡°Do you think any shifter wille to a kingdom on his or her own? They will try their best to not get caught but we don¡¯t have to hurt them. ¡± He said.


    Beta Remy gave us twenty minutes to plot and frame a n for the task. Alpha Tyrion and I, went to sit in a quiet corner where he took a small notepad and a pen. He drew the map of the forest and marked the danger points.


    ¡°See, this is the map of the woods. I have marked the areas where the shifters usually roam. ¡± He said.


    I was amazed to by the knowledge he had about the woods and this whole kingdom. That¡¯s what a full prepared contestant looked like. I listened intently to him as he exined about the escape routes for the shifters.


    ¡°In the den, the lions live. We don¡¯t trouble them because they¡¯re quite powerful. In the inner woods, you will find snakes, bears, foxes and leopards and bunnies. Who do you think will be the easiest for you to catch? ¡± He asked.


    ¡°The bunnies! ¡± I eximed without even giving it another thought because the other animals were deadly.


    He smiled, ¡± They have a speed of lightning though. It¡¯s extremely difficult to catch them. They vanish when you blink and run away into the dark forest. ¡±


    I licked my lips, ¡± Then which one should be our target ording to you? ¡±


    ¡°We can set traps for bunnies. But if it was me alone, I would have definitely attacked the bear. They do look tough but are easier to handle after a while. ¡±


    He made the map after marking the trap locations for bunnies and took out a sword, dagger, hunter,s, sleep inducing thorns and gave me each of them too. We were called back by Beta Remy to the exit of the pack borders.


    ¡°All the best everyone. May the best couples win. ¡±


    We made our way to the route which led to the woods. My heart was beating fast and everything was making me dizzy as I thought about the shifters lurking in the dark shadows. As we stood at the entrance mark which stated clearly that the ¡°Kingdom of Zephyr¡± Ends here and thend ofmon shifters start from here.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go. ¡±


    Ava and Alpha Kristian were right behind us but none of them talked to each other. It was as if Ava had not spoken a single word to him since the announcement of this challenge. She was fuming with anger as her eyesnded on me.


    ¡°I guess someone is not going toe back alive, today. ¡± She said loud enough for everyone to hear.


    Alpha Tyrion gripped my arm tightly and gave her a hard stare. She understood to not open her mouth again.


    ¡°Ava stop being so salty. ¡± Another Luna answered.


    Ava made a face and walked inside the woods while Alpha Kristian ran after her.


    ¡°Thank you. ¡± I said.


    ¡°No problem, Celine. I am Luna Sephora of the Sapphire Moon Kingdom. ¡± She introduced herself.


    We shook hands and the Alphas did the same.


    ¡°Not so tough task. ¡± She said and I nodded without any will.


    At some point me and Alpha Tyrion separated from them and went on our different paths. We had to set traps ands for bunnies but there was no sign of them in the woods. Alpha Tyrion looked around for their scent and foot prints but he couldn¡¯t find any. So, we had to walk further into the woods.


    ¡°Is everything okay? ¡± I asked him.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know why the bunnies and even foxes are not here. It¡¯s as if they have already hid somewhere. ¡±This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    ¡®I can catch a very peculiar scent around me. ¡® Belinaymented.


    I followed the scent which my wolf was feeling at this point. Alpha Tyrion was looking around the smaller trees and shrubs for any signs of those small bunnies. The wind blew across my face and I shivered at the possibility of the danger lurking behind my back. Alpha Tyrion had set up the traps and thes for the shifters and he was ready with his sword for the first batch of them.


    But I could feel someone watching us with so much attention that I snapped my head at the direction of the cause of scent and came face to face with thergest Lioness I had ever seen in my whole life. She roared and the birds flew from the top of the tears. The monkeys made noise and i heard the smaller shifters running to the safe ces too.


    Alpha Tyrion had noticed her too by now and she immediately stood between me and her. The lioness jumped from the tree and shifted to her human form. Her long hair and golden eyes decorated with the gold jewelry made her an extremely beautiful predator. She smirked when she noticed me trembling with fear.


    ¡°So, the Alphas and Lunas were setting traps for those rabbits and foxes. What happened to the brave hearts who would try to bring the Lions as a ve? We rank the highest if you can take me to the pack, you will earn 500 points. A rabbit is just the minimum passing requirement. ¡±


    Her voice too. It was seductive yet dangerous. She was ying with us and I was lost by her charm. Alpha Tyrion kept himself as a shield between her and me.


    ¡°Nobody is pestering you. We need to go back to the pack and finish this task. ¡± He told her.


    She raised a brow, ¡± Is your mate mute? Or a human? Why doesn¡¯t she speak? ¡±


    Alpha Tyrion growled, giving her a warning, ¡± I am telling you thest time¡­¡±


    She shifted within a second and jumped over me. With her ws, she pushed Alpha Tyrion inti a trap making his leg stuck on one of the. She grabbed my body in her jaws and dragged me deep into the woods as I screamed for Alpha Tyrion.

 Winning the task

    Celine¡¯s POV:


    The grass pierced in my back and arms and the twigs stuck in my hair. She wasn¡¯t stopping anywhere and I couldn¡¯t shift either because she had kept my neck in her jaws and I couldn¡¯t connect with my wolf.


    Finally, she threw me against a huge tree and roared before shifting to human form. I rubbed my hands and dusted off the clothes. With my injured arm, I pushed myself up to stand on the ground. She was standing on the rock and mocking me struggling with pain.


    ¡°Get up, Luna. Or shall I ask the ves to help you up? ¡±


    I clenched my jaw and got up with a growling out of my chest. She was amazed and excited too. A predator that¡¯s what she was. She only loved topete and hunt.


    ¡°Why did you do this to me? ¡± I asked angrily.


    She gritted her teeth, ¡± Because you wolves think you own the woods. The shifter world too. Didn¡¯t you read the warning when entering the forest? It¡¯s a no man¡¯snd. Your stupidpetition and challenge isn¡¯t going to be entertained under Zayra¡¯sw! ¡±


    She jumped down and stared into my eyes, almost threatening me with violence.


    Belinay wasn¡¯t scared and wanted to fight her. Zayra caught the dominating scent of my wolf too and the yellow in her eyes sparkled with excitement. She knew what my wolf was thinking and it excited her.


    ¡°Let me finish my task. ¡± I tried to tell her thest time.


    She scoffed, ¡± Take me as your reward. Or no one else will be allowed to be taken. ¡±


    I frowned, ¡± Are you doing this with everyone? Is no one allowed to take any shifter? ¡±


    ¡°No, just you. ¡±


    It was then I allowed Belinay to take over because in absence of Alpha Tyrion¡¯s protective embrace, my wolf was always ready to show her real strength. Her pheromone was getting the best out of her and she immediatelynded on her all fours.


    Zayra had shifted too and she lunged at me with her sharp ws, aimed at my eyes. Belinay was able to tackle her to the ground. We circled each other, looking for an opening. The lioness lunged first, aiming for my throat. I dodged, biting the lioness¡¯s paw. The lioness yowled, shaking off me and shing my side. My wolf whimpered, backing away and licking her wound.


    We paused, panting and bleeding. We knew this fight could be fatal, but neither was willing to back down. We red at each other, ready to resume the battle.


    Then something snapped in my head and I snarled before grabbing her throat and my eyes shone again. The same energy flowing through my blood and the intensity of it. Somehow, I was able to read her mind, control her and make her body tighten with a mere thought.


    The leaves around me flew with my just onemand and the trees began to shake violently. It was as if I was in control of the elements and everything was connected to me in a way or two.


    Zayra shifted back to human form, her body trembling with fear but a huge grin in her face. She bowed her head and gave a low growl.


    ¡°Oh, the hybrid queen of the shifters. The Winds had informed me about your arrival. This servant was just testing you to see the beauty. The woods and the pack leader, Zayra Almani Raynor, wees you to my small kingdom. ¡±


    I watched as the lioness stopped talking and the animals came out of the hiding spots too. It was as if they had been waiting for me to stop the fight and acknowledge their presence.


    Belinay was at peace and content with everything Zayra told her. I had to shift back to my human form too.


    ¡°I think there¡¯s a misunderstanding here. I am just an omega. ¡± I tried to correct her.


    Zayra smiled with amusement, ¡± Do you really think any omega or Alpha could dominate me? ¡±


    The other shifters bowed down too and I was just confused to do anything. I took a few steps back and sat on the rock nearby.


    ¡°Listen, I don¡¯t know what you are talking about. But I need to finish this task. I have to take one of the shifters with me to level up and be eligible for thepetition. ¡± I told them.


    Zayra chuckled, ¡± Just one shifter? How about everyone goes with you? ¡±


    I looked at her in shock and all the shifters joined her to stand before me. I couldn¡¯t believe a lioness was ready to help me with the challenge and for whatever reason they thought I was some Hybrid Queen. But I had to think of winning the task and it made sense to me to just listen to them even if they were pretending to be nice.


    I needed to find Alpha Tyrion too because he might be in danger.


    But Belinay insisted that we should take the shifters back to the pack because the time was running and we could be disqualified if not be there on time. Alpha Tyrion was an expert and adapt predator he wouldn¡¯t be in danger. Moreover, I could just mind link with him and let him know about my location.


    ¡®Alpha?¡¯ I tried to connect with him.


    And he instantly replied, ¡®Where are you? Are you safe? I will kill that lioness. ¡®


    ¡®I am safe and already heading back to the borders because we don¡¯t have enough time. ¡®Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    ¡®Celine, we lost it. The task and everything. It¡¯s not your fault. I knew that you are a non trained wolf. It was stupid to evene here. Can you meet me outside the borders so that we can leave without meeting anyone? ¡® He sounded so defeated and sure that we had lost the task.


    But I looked back at the growing numbers of shifters following me like my kids and smiled, ¡®Alpha, we haven¡¯t lost it. Pleasee to the pack.¡¯


    ¡®Did you catch a bunny? ¡® He asked, excited.


    ¡®Something like that¡­. ¡®


    As we entered the borders, the guards ran away to a safer ce when all the shifters changed to their feral forms. Zayra walked beside me with her golden mane and beautiful walk.


    The elders, other couples, pack members and the Lycan king were quiet and shocked. Beta Remy was unable to speak anything.


    ¡°Here are the shifters for the task. ¡® I told them.


    ¡®This is the second time someone brought so many shifters back and that could only mean this woman right here is the special wolf. ¡® one of the elders said.


    Alpha Tyrion shifted back to his human form as he came beside me.


    ¡± Celine¡­ ¡± He looked at me, ¡± How? ¡°

 Attack by intruder

    Celine¡¯s POV:


    Ava, Alpha Kristian, Lycan king and Queen, Beta Remy, the elders and even Alpha Tyrion waited for my answer because everyone was curious and shocked that all the shifters had joined me back to the borders.


    I couldn¡¯t tell them what the Lioness told me in the woods because it might be wrong and I didn¡¯t want to be at danger of anything by giving the greedy wolves an idea that I might have a weird power to attract the shifters.


    ¡°I helped the lioness in the woods and she decided to help me bying here with her friends. ¡± I told them, most importantly to Alpha Tyrion who nodded to my answer even though he knew the truth was different.


    The silence still loomed over everyone and Zayra raised her brows in confusion. I blinked twice without anyone noticing me and she gave me a slight nod.


    ¡°Yes, this Luna is right. I was trapped in a and she helped me instead of hurting me. I am grateful to her. ¡± Zayra muttered without any interest.


    Alpha Tyrion held my arm and gave me a light squeeze because he knew she attacked me rather than I helping her ording to her side of story. The other elders seemed to be confused too because they might be expecting the real reason and all I could give them was pathetic excuses.


    ¡°That¡¯s amazing. The challenge not only tries to know about the courage and power, the couples hold but also tests the humble and kind nature of the Luna. And Luna Celine not only brought so many shifters she was able to bring a were lioness. ¡± Beta Remy said, smiling, ¡± She wins the highest points with her mate which gives them an upper hand on the next challenges. Congrattions. ¡±


    I smiled proudly and Alpha Tyrion could finally smile too. Ava was thest toe with a small bunny which was held by Alpha Kristian and her face burned with jealousy when she realized what was happening there. Without waiting anymore, she left the ce, followed by Alpha Kristian.


    ¡°Very well, Celine. I am so happy that you did it. ¡± Lycan king Calle rubbed my arm and kissed the back of my hand which didn¡¯t go well with Alpha Tyrion.


    I immediately tried to calm the situation down and instead smiled at Zayra who bowed her head before leaving with her fellow shifters.


    ¡°Everyone can get more rest now. ¡± Beta Remy announced and the couples departed to their respective chambers. Only 7 couples had managed to win the task and Ava was included too given she came at thest minute.? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    I could feel that Alpha Tyrion was waiting behind my back to talk about what had happened after Zyara dragged me to the woods. But I wasn¡¯t ready to discuss that yet.


    ¡°I am tired. I am going to my chamber. ¡± I told him.


    ¡°Alright. Get some sleepter But we need to talk about it first. ¡± He said, giving my a kiss on my forehead.


    I was exhausted after thepetition. It had been a long and grueling day, full of challenges and surprises. I had faced some of the strongest and most cunning opponents in the realm, and I had managed to survive and advance to the next round. I was proud of myself, but also drained of energy and in need of rest.


    ¡®We fought the lioness and won over her, Celine! ¡® Belinay said, proud of herself.


    ¡®Yes, all thanks to you. ¡®


    I entered my chamber, hoping to find some peace and quiet. I closed the door behind me and leaned against it, letting out a sigh of relief. I looked around the room, expecting to see the familiar furnishings and decorations that made me feel a little safe here. But something was off. There was a maid in my chamber, and I didn¡¯t recognize her.


    She was standing by the window, holding a tray with a pitcher and a ss. She had dark hair and pale skin, and she wore a simple dress and apron. She looked harmless enough, but there was something in her eyes that made me uneasy. She didn¡¯t seem to notice me at first, but when she did, she smiled and bowed slightly.


    ¡°Good evening, Luna. I brought you some water. You must be thirsty after thepetition.¡± She said in a sweet voice.


    I frowned. I didn¡¯t ask for any water, and I didn¡¯t know who sent her. I sensed something was wrong, and I felt a surge of adrenaline in my veins. I reached for my dagger, which I always kept hidden under my armour and prepared to defend myself.


    ¡°Who are you? And who sent you?¡± I asked, trying to sound calm and confident.


    The maid¡¯s smile faded, and she dropped the tray. The pitcher and the ss shattered on the floor, spilling water and shards of ss. She reached for something under her apron, and I saw a sh of metal. She had a knife, and she wasing at me.


    I dodged her attack, and shed at her with my dagger. She was fast, but I was faster. I cut her arm, and she cried out in pain. She tried to stab me again, but I blocked her with my arm. I felt a sharp pain in my forearm, but I ignored it. I kicked her in the stomach, and she fell back. I lunged at her, ready to finish her off. She was cunning enough to throw a nket at me, blocking my vision. I could hear her growls now and knew she was about to attack me.


    But before she could, the door burst open, and someone else entered the room. It was Alpha Tyrion. I got rid of the nket and looked at him. He looked furious, and his eyes glowed with a golden light. He saw the rogue wolf on the floor, and he roared with anger. He shifted into his wolf form, a massive beast with ck fur and powerful jaws. He pounced on the rogue, and tore her throat out. She didn¡¯t stand a chance. She was dead in seconds.


    I watched in horror, as blood sttered on the walls and the floor. I felt sick, and I dropped my dagger. I backed away from the scene, and stumbled on the broken ss. I fell to the floor, and felt a sharp pain in my foot. I looked down, and saw a piece of ss embedded in my heel. I gasped, and tears filled my eyes.


    Alpha Tyrion shifted back to his human form, and ran to me. He knelt down beside me, and wrapped his arms around me. He kissed my forehead, and whispered in my ear.


    ¡°Are you okay, my love? Are you hurt?¡± He asked, his voice full of concern.


    I shook my head, and tried to smile. I was in shock, and I couldn¡¯t speak. I didn¡¯t know what to say. I didn¡¯t know what had just happened. I didn¡¯t know who the maid was, or why she tried to kill me. I didn¡¯t know if there were more of them, or who was behind this. I didn¡¯t know anything.


    I only knew one thing. I was d he was here. I was d he saved me. I was d he was my mate.


    I hugged him back, and buried my face in his chest. I felt his heartbeat, and his warmth. I felt his love, and his protection. I felt safe, and I felt alive.


    I closed my eyes, and let him hold me. I didn¡¯t want to let go. I didn¡¯t want to face the reality. I just wanted to stay with him, and forget everything else.


    I just wanted to be with him.

 Series of misfortunes

    Celine¡¯s POV


    The guards had been calledter when they heard the noises inside the chamber. Alpha Tyrion was still holding me when the Queen and Lycan king entered the room. The Queen looked horrified when she saw the dead body of the rogue on the floor.


    ¡°What happened here? Are you hurt? ¡± She asked, crying and holding my hand.


    I shook my head, ¡± No, Alpha Tyrion came and saved me. ¡±


    She took a sigh of relief and as the maids cleaned the bloodied floor, I saw Alpha Tyrion talking to Beta Remy about the security breach in the Luna chambers. Lycan king was quite all this time and he checked the window and door for any clue.


    ¡°She was just trying to steal the jewels from the Lunas because we found the bag of diamonds in the closet. She was trying to steal here too but Luna Celine walked in. There is no danger in the kingdom. All the borders are secured. ¡±


    Alpha Tyrion listened to Beta Remy yet his face was hard and brows furrowed.


    ¡°But you do realize that this was dangerous. ¡± Alpha Tyrionmented.


    Beta Remy nodded, ¡± And this is not going to be repeated ever again. My promise to you, Alpha. ¡±


    Lycan king cleared his throat and grabbed the Queen¡¯s hand to take her out with him.Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    ¡°Everyone please get some sleep because the Royal breakfast timing is at 6 AM and there¡¯s no dy allowed. ¡±


    ¡°I will stay with my mate tonight. ¡± Alpha Tyrion said.


    Lycan king growled, ¡± I ALLOWED you yesterday and this is breaking of the rules. I assure you, Celine is safe here. ¡±


    Alpha Tyrion turned to me, ¡± Will you be okay? ¡±


    Even though I wanted him to stay with me but I knew that he would ask about the lioness, the lies and everything else.


    ¡°I will be fine, Alpha. ¡±


    He looked at me giving me ast look. I could see the frustration on his face because I wasn¡¯t talking to him about the incident and he was not happy with the distance I was creating between us.


    But soon enough, all of them left and I was alone in my chamber. The maids had cleaned the floor properly and I couldn¡¯t even remember the dead body which was a lying around just an hour ago. I crashed on the bed and sleep overtook me.


    I woke up feeling sore and exhausted. The events ofst night still haunted me. But the memory of Alpha Tyrion hugging me and protecting me gave a slight relief to everything. Somehow, an anger erupted in my mind at the thought of my misery. Why did the Moon Goddess had to put so much conflicts between us? How could she make him im me as his mate when he already had a pregnant ex?


    I wanted to cry, but I had no tears left. I felt numb and empty. I wanted to run away, but I had nowhere to go. I was trapped in this challenge and mate bond surrounded by other packs, the guards, and the rules of the marking. My mate was there to protect me from everyone but who would protect me from the dangers when we would part ways?


    ¡®Celine, get out of the depressive thoughts. It¡¯s a new day and we have to go to the dining area.¡¯


    I knew Belinay was right and dragged myself to the shower from the bed.


    I got dressed and headed to the dining hall, hoping to find some food and peace. As soon as I entered, I saw Alpha Tyrion. He was sitting at the the table, looking like a king. He wore a ck suit that hugged his muscr body. His dark hair was slicked back, his sharp eyes were piercing, his jaw was sharp. He was the most handsome man I had ever seen, and the most dangerous too.


    ¡®Stop drooling over him. ¡® I agreed to my wolf again.


    He smiled when he saw me, but it didn¡¯t reach his eyes. He gestured for me to join him, but I ignored him. I walked to the other end of the table, where there was an empty seat. I grabbed a te and filled it with some toast and eggs. I tried to avoid his gaze, but I could feel it burning into me.


    ¡°Good morning, Celine,¡± he said, his voice deep and smooth. ¡°Did you sleep well?¡±


    I didn¡¯t answer. I just focused on my food, hoping he would leave me alone.


    He didn¡¯t. He got up from his seat and walked towards me. He sat down next to me, making me flinch. He reached for my hand, but I pulled it away.


    ¡°Why are you doing this? Is everything okay? Why don¡¯t you tell me what happened in the woods? ¡±


    He frowned, but I didn¡¯t say anything. He just watched me eat, making me ufortable.


    I was about to finish my breakfast when I heard a loud shriek. I turned my head and saw Ava running towards us. She was wearing a pink dress that barely covered her curves.


    Her belly had started to grow and even Alpha Tyrion noticed it. I knew they were a percent couple if it wasn¡¯t for me. But now, here she was, Ava, casting envious nces in my direction.


    Suppressing my unease, I saw as she approached the table. ¡°Good morning, Tyrion,¡± she greeted him with a forced smile. ¡°I hope I¡¯m not interrupting anything.¡±


    Alpha Tyrion looked up, his eyes lighting up at me. ¡± No, please have a seat.¡±


    She took a chair beside Alpha Tyrion, meanwhile I tried my best to ignore Ava¡¯s piercing gaze. However, it didn¡¯t take long for Ava to make her presence known. She was holding a cup of tea and intentionally dragged her chair closer to me.


    ¡®Bi*ch.¡¯ She mouthed.


    Alpha Tyrion got up from the chair to leave us to eat without his presence. As his back turned to us,


    in a fit of jealousy, she deliberately knocked over her teacup, sshing scalding hot tea on me.


    ¡°Oouch!! ¡± I whimpered me in pain.


    The pain seared through my skin, and my instincts took over. Anger surged within me, and without thinking, I pushed Ava away from me. But Ava, ever the actress, pretended to fall dramatically onto the chair, clutching her belly and crying out in pain.


    ¡°Aaahhhh! Celine, why did you kick me? ¡± Ava cried.


    My eyes widened, shocked by Ava¡¯s deceit. I turned to Alpha Tyrion, hoping for support, but his expression was disapproving. ¡°Celine, calm down,¡± he said sternly. ¡°You should know better than to get involved in a scuffle with a pregnant woman.¡±


    My anger turned into frustration as I realized the situation was being manipted against me. I took a deep breath, attempting to regainposure, but the embers of resentment still burned within me.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t kick her. ¡± I tried to tell him. But Ava was howling and screaming as she hugged Alpha Tyrion.


    ¡°Our baby, Ty. Your child is in pain.! ¡± She cried.


    Unable to bear the stifling atmosphere, I excused myself and made my way to a nearby balcony, seeking sce in the cool morning air. As I leaned against the railing, my mind filled with questions and a desperate longing for answers.


    That was the truth. Ava and Alpha Tyrion had an unborn child together. I was not supposed to be here.


    Suddenly, a familiar voice broke through my troubled thoughts. It was the Lycan king, Calle, standing a few steps away from me, holding a ne that glittered in the sunlight. I recognized it instantly-it was my mother¡¯s ne, a treasured possession lost long ago. I had the other half of the ne with me and it missed the part where the mother¡¯s picture was supposed to be. But Lycan king had the picture of my mother, the other half of my ne.


    My heart raced with a mixture of hope and fear as I approached Lycan Calle. ¡°Where did you find that? What do you know about my mother?¡± I pleaded, my voice trembling with anticipation.


    Lycan Calle¡¯s somber expression softened, and he handed me the ne gently. ¡°I found this in the depths of the Lycan archives. Your mother had a connection to our world, to our kind.¡±


    My eyes widened with astonishment and a torrent of emotions flooded me. I clutched the ne tightly, my mind buzzing with possibilities. ¡°Please, Lycan king, tell me everything you know. I need to understand. You are my only hope. ¡±


    The Lycan king nodded, his gaze filled with an unreadable expression. ¡°I promise, Celine, I will share everything I¡¯ve discovered. But for now, let¡¯s find a quiet ce where we can talk without interruptions. There is much to discuss, and I believe you deserve to know the truth about your mother.¡±


    My heart soared with a newfound hope as I followed him, the ne a tangible reminder of the mysteries that awaited me. I knew that uncovering my mother¡¯s secrets would bring both challenges and revtions, but I was determined to embark on this journey, no matter the cost.

 Separate priorities

    Celine¡¯s POV:


    The moon cast its ethereal glow over the corridor as I made my way through the long doorway filled with ancient pictures. My heart raced with anticipation as I approached the grand hall of the Lycan kingdom. It was dark there and not a single guard in sight too. I felt ufortableing here with Lycan king but I hade seeking answers about my mother, a woman whose absence had haunted me for as long as I could remember.


    As I entered the hall, I was met with an imposing picture of a figure seated upon a grand throne. It was the previous king, a formidable Lycan ruler known for his power and wisdom. His silver mane cascaded down his broad shoulders, and his piercing blue eyes held a hint of both sorrow and authority even in the lifeless painting.


    Approaching the king, I respectfully bowed my head. ¡°Please, tell me,¡± I began, my voice filled with a mix of determination and trepidation. ¡°I have always wanted to find about my parents but there was no one who could tell me. It¡¯s all on you now. You are myst hope. ¡±


    Lycan King Calle regarded me with a somber expression, and his voice carried a hint of mncholy as he spoke. ¡°Celine, your mother was once a close and dear friend of mine,¡± he confessed. ¡°She possessed a spirit that was rare among our kind, but she was hunted by rivals who sought to exploit her powers.¡±


    My eyes widened with both shock and hope. The revtion that my mother had been connected to the Lycan king was both unexpected and intriguing. If she was so close to him then why didn¡¯t he tell me earlier about it. My heart yearned to know more, to understand the truth behind my mother¡¯s disappearance.


    ¡°If you truly wish to know about your mother, Celine,¡± King Calle continued, his voice gentle yet firm, ¡°you must stay close to me. Only then can I ensure your safety and reveal the secrets that surround her.¡±


    I hesitated, contemting the weight of the king¡¯s words. He was closing the gap between us now. However, a sense of unease washed over me as his next request left me feeling disrespected and conflicted.


    ¡°Kiss me, Celine,¡± King Calle requested, a flicker of impatience crossing his features. ¡°It is a gesture of trust, sealing our bond, and cementing yourmitment to this endeavor.¡±


    I gasped in disbelief and my cheeks flushed with a mix of anger and indignation. I hade seeking answers, not to be subjected to such demands. My nstinct told me to leave, to find another way to uncover my mother¡¯s story.


    Without a word, I turned to depart, my resolve strengthening. However, before I could take another step, King Calle¡¯s voice turned cold and menacing.


    ¡°Do not test my patience, Celine,¡± he warned, his eyes narrowing. ¡°If you walk away now, I will never utter another word about your mother. I will never let you meet you! The choice is yours.¡±


    ¡°Why? I can¡¯t do this. ¡±


    Caught between my desire for answers and my sense of self-respect, my mind raced. I knew that my actions carried consequences, both myself and for the possibility of learning about my mother¡¯s fate.


    ¡°Celine, I have my desires too. You need to understand the closeness between us will only bring positive aspects to your life. ¡±


    In a moment of desperation, I made a decision that left me conflicted. It was just one kiss and I would know about my mother.


    Stepping back toward the Lycan king, I mustered my courage and leaned forward, pressing a chaste kiss upon his cheek. It was apromise, an act I hoped would appease him withoutpromising my own principles. I felt him shiver under the touch of my lips.


    However, as I pulled away, my heart sank as I locked eyes with Alpha Tyrion, my angry mate and crazy protector. The anger and hurt in his gaze were palpable, his trust in me seemingly shattered in that moment.


    My heart weighed heavy as I sought to exin the misunderstanding to my mate, Alpha Tyrion. I knew that the kiss I had given the Lycan king, Calle, had been apromise I never wanted to make. I yearned for Tyrion¡¯s understanding, his unwavering support, and the reassurance that our bond remained unbreakable.


    With determination etched upon my face, I made her way towards Alpha Tyrion, longing for a chance to exin. However, before I could reach him, King Calle intercepted my path, his presencemanding and his voiceced with authority.


    ¡°Celine, my dear,¡± King Calle began, his tone both gentle and maniptive. ¡°I understand your desire to rify matters with Tyrion, but let us not forget the delicate nature of our partnership. Revealing the truth to him might jeopardize everything we¡¯ve worked towards, including the knowledge about your mother.¡±


    My brows furrowed, torn between loyalty to my mate and the urgency to uncover the secrets of my mother¡¯s past. My heart ached, knowing that I had unintentionally caused a rift between Alpha Tyrion and myself.


    ¡°I¡­ I can¡¯t keep secrets from Alpha Tyrion,¡± I stammered, my voiceced with guilt. ¡°He deserves to know everything, especially if it concerns our rtionship and my quest to find my mother.¡±


    King Calle¡¯s eyes narrowed, his desire to keep me under his influence evident. ¡°Think carefully, Celine,¡± he warned, his voice stern. ¡°If you reveal this to Tyrion, I cannot guarantee that I will share any more information about your mother. The choice is yours, but remember the consequences.¡±


    My resolve wavered as I nced over my shoulder, locking eyes with Alpha Tyrion, who stood a few paces away, his gaze fixed upon us. His features contorted with a mix of confusion, betrayal, and hurt. The weight of my actions bore down upon me, threatening to crush my spirit.


    Unable to bear the tension any longer, I approached Alpha Tyrion, my steps slow and heavy. I took his hand, silently pleading for understanding, my voice barely above a whisper. ¡°Alpha Tyrion, there¡¯s something I need to tell you. Please, let me exin.¡±


    Alpha Tyrion¡¯s gaze met mine, his expression a tumultuous blend of anger and vulnerability. Without a word, he guided me to his personal quarters. Justst night, staying alone with him felt like a peaceful haven. Now, it felt like a battleground, our connection hanging by a fragile thread.


    As we entered the room, I took a deep breath, steeling myself for the difficult conversation ahead. I knew that my words held the potential to either heal our bond or drive us further apart.


    ¡± Alpha Tyrion, I¡­ I kissed King Calle,¡± I confessed, my voice filled with regret and sorrow.


    Alpha Tyrion¡¯s eyes bore into mine, a mixture of pain and confusion evident in his gaze. His voice trembled with a mix of anger and hurt. ¡°Celine, how could you?¡± he whispered, his voice filled with anguish. ¡°I trusted you. I thought you were better than that. But no! You are just like your fake father. Always wanting a powerful and rich man! ¡±


    Tears welled up in my eyes as I took a step towards him, my voice choked with emotion. ¡± Alpha Tyrion, please try to understand,¡± I pleaded.


    ¡°Understand what? Huh? You were kissing him! How long it¡¯s been going for? Is he the reason why you have been so away from me? ¡± He used me.


    Something snapped in me and the hurt of his words spread like cancer in my body. My mother was my only real connection here and after a while when this contract would end, Alpha Tyrion would go back to his mate. The mother of his child. Even though, his allegations felt like a dagger in my heart, I didn¡¯t want to correct him.


    ¡°If you can still care for your ex, Ava, then I can befriend anyone too. My actions were driven by the love I have for my dear one, for our future together. I never meant to betray you. In the end, it¡¯s just the contract which binds us. ¡±


    Silence enveloped the room as Alpha Tyrion¡¯s features darkened, his anger giving way to a flicker of feral side. His gaze hardened as he reached out, roughly wiping away a tear cascading down my cheek.


    ¡°I don¡¯t care for Ava, but you are my mate, Celine,¡± he said, his voice filled with anger and determination. ¡°We are bound together, and I will always remember what you think about our bond. Just because I slept with Ava in past, it doesn¡¯t give you a reason to go behind men. I don¡¯t care about your family or anything. You need to know you belong to me now! ¡±?

    He was screaming like a lunatic and I shouldn¡¯t have brought the worst example to him because it definitely worked in the wrong way.


    ¡°But I do care for that person. You will never understand how it feels to be an orphan. I will do anything to find the love and warmth at least once. ¡±


    He clenched his jaw, ¡± Touch another man and see how I burn the world! ¡±


    With that, he left me alone and I cried falling on my knees. I never intended to do it this way.

 Challenge Day 2

    *The Trial of Courage and Teamwork*


    I cried myself to sleepst night, thinking and trying to forget the hurt on Alpha Tyrion¡¯s face as I had said those mean words to him. My heart ached for forgiveness and his warmth. But the truth was, he didn¡¯t even know I was his mate. He didn¡¯t love me. He had made it clear to me long time ago.


    Belinay was on edge too after the incident with the Lycan king. She was one of those wolves who considered their modesty and character at the top and nothing could faze her down. But the way Lycan king had made her ufortable and manipted us into a kiss was what troubling both of us.


    I ced the dagger in its ce and did my braid before going out of the chamber. It was challenge day again and we needed to work in coordination to win the task. I didn¡¯t even know how I was going to make eye contact with Alpha Tyrion.


    All the Alphas were waiting for their mates outside the chambers, but I couldn¡¯t find Alpha Tyrion in the queue. Ava surely was having fun with my desperate attempt to look out for my mate.


    ¡°Fake couples don¡¯tst forever. ¡± She mocked me.


    I looked ahead on the path and walked to get back to the training ground where Beta Remy, Alpha Tyrion and Lycan king and Queen were waiting for the contestants. Lycan Calle smirked and raised his brow at me to let me know he was watching me.


    Alpha Tyrion too noticed the way he was subtly looking at me. A pulse moved in his jaw and he gave me a re which made me immediately walk towards him. I tried to hold his hand but he pped my hand away.


    ¡°The selected couples should be ready for the challenge number 2 today. We have made the set up and the rules and regtions are added on the booklet over there. ¡± Beta Remy pointed at the tables at the corner.


    All of the mates ran to get the booklets and began discussing about the task. While, Alpha Tyrion went to read the rules alone and didn¡¯t wait for me. But I still decided to run after him.


    ¡°What does it say? ¡± I asked him. He tossed the booklet in my direction.


    I gave it a quick read and my heart began to beat harder. The challenge was tough as both of us would be logged in separate cages and we would need to free each other.


    Skills Required: Bonding, understanding and trust.


    I closed my eyes and wished that everything was still normal between us like before.


    We were back with all the couples who had thoroughly discussed their ns and Alpha Tyrion was unfazed by my gaze seeking his attention.


    ¡°Alright. The challenge starts now. ¡± Beta Remy announced.


    The air crackled with anticipation as we and all the couples participating in the challenge were locked in separate cages, with our fates intertwined. I and Alpha found each other on opposite sides of the arena, our gazes meeting briefly before the barriers sealed us away from each other. The task ahead was formidable, a test of both courage and teamwork.


    My heart raced as I surveyed my surroundings. The cage was suspended high above the ground, surrounded by a maze of twisted metal and treacherous terrain. Across from me, Alpha Tyrion stood impassive, his face a mask of determination, but devoid of the warmth I longed to see.


    A voice boomed through the arena, announcing the rules of the challenge. ¡°In order to free your partner, you must find the hidden key that unlocks their cage. Ovee the obstacles that lie in your path, and remember, true victory lies not only in unlocking the cages but in the strength of your partnership.¡±? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    As the starting signal sounded, my heart pounded in my chest, my mind focused on the task at hand. I maneuvered my way through the maze, braving obstacles that tested my limits-walls of fire, pools of icy water, treacherous spikes that threatened to impale me.


    Belinay had shifted and she was the one who crossed the walls of fire with her long jumps. I could see other Lunas getting injured because the mes of the walls would rise anytime leading to confusion. The thorns and spikes tore the skin on my arms and I was thrown away for a moment before gaining my bnce back.


    With each obstacle I conquered, I caught glimpses of Alpha Tyrion out of the corner of my eye. He moved with precision and determination, his every step calcted. But there was a distance between us, an emotional chasm I longed to bridge.


    As I approached a particrly challenging puzzle, I found myself stumped. The pieces before me seemed to defy logic, their arrangement a mystery. Frustration threatened to overtake me, but then I remembered the essence of the challenge-teamwork.


    Taking a deep breath, I called out to Alpha Tyrion, my voice filled with a mix of vulnerability and determination. ¡°Alpha Tyrion, I need your help,¡± I said, my tone unwavering. ¡°I can¡¯t solve this puzzle alone. We need to work together.¡±


    Alpha Tyrion¡¯s gaze flickered towards me, his expression guarded. He didn¡¯t give me any answer.


    ¡°Please¡­ ¡± I said again.


    For a moment, I feared he would disregard my plea, but then he approached, his eyes fixed on the puzzle. Without a word, he began to analyze the pieces, his mind focused and sharp.


    Together, we deciphered the intricate puzzle, our minds aligning as we fit the pieces into ce. The sense of aplishment washed over us, a flicker of the mate bond we once had.


    As I pressed forward, facing each obstacle head-on, I noticed a change in Alpha Tyrion. Though he remained stoic on the surface, I caught glimpses of concern in his eyes, a flicker of protectiveness that hadn¡¯tpletely faded away as I worked my way on the treacherous ice.


    He was looking after me from the corner of his eyes to seek out any opponent attacking me from behind. A smile appeared on my lips and I grew more confident with my steps.


    Finally, we reached the final hurdle-a towering wall, seemingly insurmountable. My strength wavered, doubt threatening to overtake me. But then I nced at Alpha Tyrion, his presence a pir of unwavering resolve.


    Summoning my courage, I took a deep breath andunched myself towards the wall. He followed suit, our movements synchronized as we propelled ourselves upward. Without a word, Alpha grabbed my arm as I was about to fall. Hand in hand, we conquered the final obstacle, our ascent a testament to our unspoken connection.


    As we reached the top, I spotted the hidden key, glimmering in the sunlight. With a surge of adrenaline, I grasped it tightly, a symbol of our victory.


    ¡°The Key is here! ¡± I told him to which he looked around himself but not at me. The other couples around us were happy and ready to unlock the doors as soon as possible. Half of them had not been able to evenplete the task. But here we were, so close yet so far away.

 Queen’s Advice

    Celine¡¯s POV :


    Returning to Alpha Tyrion¡¯s side, I unlocked his cage, the heavy door swinging open. Yet, as I stepped out, he remained silent, his emotions concealed behind a mask of indifference.


    My heart sank, the weight of his aloofness pressing upon me. But I refused to let it deter me. I walked towards him, my voice filled with a mix of determination and vulnerability.


    ¡°Alpha, we did it,¡± I said, my words tinged with hope. ¡°We faced the challenges together, and we seeded. ¡±


    His guarded facade wavered, his gaze meeting mine, a hint of vulnerability seeping through. ¡°Celine, you are not an omega. You are something different¡­¡± he murmured, his voiceced with uncertainty. ¡°But my feelings will never change for you. I never wanted you because you were special or couldplete these tasks without any practice. You will always remain the same girl who was clueless about everything to me. ¡±


    I nodded, my heart filled with a mix of understanding and determination. ¡°I know, Alpha. You never misused me. But I am just a normal she-wolf. ¡±


    Alpha shook his head, ¡± No, you¡¯re not. And that¡¯s the reason why suddenly some powerful people are interested in you. But believe me, in my presence no one is going to hurt you. ¡±


    ¡°I will clear the misunderstandings. ¡±


    He rubbed his forehead, ¡± The pain which you have caused me is even more than what I felt after my father¡¯s death. ¡±


    My fists clenched as I struggled with my feelings of dilemma if I should tell him or not.


    As I nced at him, my eyes caught sight of a fresh injury on his arm-a deep gash that had gone unnoticed amidst the chaos of the challenge.


    Concern etched across my features, I instinctively reached out to him, my hand poised to touch his wounded arm. But before I could make a move, a deep, resonating voice called out to me.


    ¡°Celine, I would like to speak with you,¡± the Lycan King¡¯s voice boomed, capturing my attention. I turned to see the king standing a few paces away.


    Alpha Tyrion¡¯s reaction was immediate. A flicker of anger shed in his eyes, his grip tightening around the edges of the nearby tree With a sudden surge of strength, he smashed his fist down onto the tree branch causing it to splinter and shatter under the force of his rage.


    The space fell into an uneasy silence as the Lycan King¡¯s gaze locked with Tyrion¡¯s, the tension between them palpable. But then, the Queen walked between us and with a gesture to the king, he asked him to leave. Alpha Tyrion left too as his anger grew more dangerous.


    I was left alone with the Luna Queen, my heart heavy with a mix of worry for Tyrion and apprehension about the impending conversation.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go to your chamber. ¡± The Queen said. I followed her through the doors while my mind was still engulfed with the thoughts of Alpha Tyrion and the hurt he felt because of my actions.


    As the door closed behind us, the Queen regarded me with a steady gaze. ¡°Celine,¡± she began, her voice softer than before, ¡°I wanted to discuss something of great importance with you.¡±


    What if she knew about Lycan king and the kiss I shared?


    I swallowed, my nerves coiling within me. ¡°What is it, Luna. ¡± I asked.


    Her expression softened, a hint ofpassion in her eyes. ¡°I have observed the strain between you and Alpha Tyrion,¡± she said, her voice filled with understanding. ¡°It is clear that your bond has been tested, and it is my hope that you both find a way to heal.¡±


    I nodded, my thoughts drifting to the shattered mate bond and the anger Alpha Tyrion had disyed. ¡°I want nothing more than to rebuild our bond,¡± I admitted, my voiceced with sincerity. ¡°But it seems as though Alpha Tyrion is carrying a weight that he is unwilling to share. I want him to understand me. I know I have messed up our rtionship.¡±


    Her gaze held a knowing look, as if she understood the depths of Tyrion¡¯s inner turmoil. ¡°Tyrion has always been a fiercely guarded individual, I know him since the time he was born. His father died in the war. He was always pushed to be the best. To get the best. He didn¡¯t let any emotion ovee him ever. ¡± she replied, her voice tinged with a hint of regret. ¡°But I believe that beneath that armor lies a vulnerability born out of love. It will take time, patience, and understanding to reach him.¡±


    My heart swelled with a mix of determination and love for Alpha Tyrion. I knew that our journey to mend our bond would not be easy, but I was willing to fight for it. ¡°I will do whatever it takes,¡± I vowed, ¡°Even though our mate bond is not for forever. ¡±


    Her eyes sparkled with approval as she nodded. ¡°Remember, Celine, love can be both a source of strength and a growing ache for pain,¡± she said, her voice gentle. ¡°But it must be nurtured and protected, even in the face of adversity No one should evere between you both. You need to protect each other. There¡¯s nothing which can cause separation if you are willing to fight.¡±


    As the conversation drew to a close, my thoughts returned to Alpha Tyrion, my heart aching for him. I longed to find him, to share my concerns with him.


    ¡°He hates me now¡­ ¡±


    ¡°No, he doesn¡¯t. Go and remove the barrier. Remember, intimacy must not die ever. ¡±


    She gave me a smile and a pat on my shoulder, looking at my bed and with a slight nod she left.


    ¡®Tyrion needs to bury himself deep inside us to make everything better again. ¡®


    I got up from the bed and walked out, Ava caught my sight and her smirk widened.


    ¡°Forget about him. He isn¡¯t going to ept you ever. Do you think you can have his children? ¡±


    I rolled my eyes at her, ¡± I am going to fuck him. You can watch if you want. ¡±


    She gasped and I ignored her because my mind was filled with the determination to make Tyrion realise I was loyal to him.? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    Lycan king Calle stopped me as I was about to enter Alpha Tyrion¡¯s chamber.


    ¡°I want to talk to you. ¡± He said.


    ¡°I am going to meet my mate. ¡±


    He sighed, ¡± We had a deal. ¡±


    ¡°I have a mate bond which is far more important than anything else. ¡±


    I opened the door and heard the sound of shower. I dropped my armour and the sword before entering the bathroom.


    His eyes were closed as he was in deep thoughts, without uttering a word, a got on knees and touched his semi hard erection with my lips. His eyes snapped open and he gripped my hair in his fist.


    ¡°What are you doing here? ¡± He growled.


    I didn¡¯t say anything but moved my mouth up and down on him. I licked his shaft and his muscles moved in the lower belly. His grip tightened on my hair and he moved his cock deep inside my mouth.


    ¡°Go and have a talk with Calle. ¡± He said, giving me a p on my back as I moaned with pleasure.


    He grabbed my arms and got behind me to enter without any preparation.


    ¡°No, I want you¡­ ¡±


    He gave a deep hard thrusts sending me to my first orgasm. His fingers rubbed my clit again and I almost struggled to keep on standing on my feet. We noticed the shadows of two figures in the chamber at the same time.


    Lycan king and Ava. Both watching with a craziness in their eyes.


    Alpha Tyrion grew more rough as he saw the Lycan and pounded me harder. He lifted me in his arms and I wrapped my legs around his waist.


    ¡°I will breed you. You¡¯re mine! ¡± He groaned.


    The king and Ava left closing the door behind them. I felt his sharp fangs on my neck, he gave me a little bite. With ast hard thrust, he came deep inside me. His seeds iming me as his.


    ¡°Are you going to tell me about the kiss or shall I reject you now? ¡± Alpha Tyrion asked.


    I licked my lips and took a breath. There was no use in hiding anything from him. It would only cause misunderstanding and problems.


    ¡°I¡­ ¡±


    We heard themotion outside the chamber and the maids running around. We got dressed immediately and went out.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? ¡± Alpha Tyrion asked.


    ¡°Somebody put the Queen¡¯s chamber on fire and she is in there! ¡°

 In the Face of Flames

    Celine¡¯s POV :


    The maids¡¯ panicked voices echoed through the pce corridors, their words slicing through the air like shards of shattered ss. ¡°The Queen¡¯s chamber is on fire! She¡¯s trapped inside!¡±


    My heart skipped a beat as the words registered in my mind. Without a moment¡¯s hesitation, I turned to Alpha Tyrion, my eyes wide with fear and urgency. ¡°We have to go, Alpha Tyrion! We can¡¯t let the Queen perish in the mes.¡±


    His expression mirrored my own, a mixture of determination and worry etched across his face. Without uttering a single word, we sprinted down the hallways, our footsteps echoing in sync as we raced towards the source of the inferno.


    As we reached the Queen¡¯s chamber, the sight that greeted us was nothing short of devastation. mes danced and licked at the walls, consuming everything in their path with a ravenous hunger. Smoke billowed out, filling the air with acrid fumes that burned my lungs.


    ¡°How could something like this happen with all the guards around? ¡± He asked the maids.


    All the couples and other wolves of the pack hade out and everyone watched the horror unfolding before our eyes.


    Alpha Tyrion and I exchanged a brief nce, our eyes reflecting a shared determination. We had to act swiftly.


    ¡°Get more water here! Everyone will help. ¡± He told the guards.


    With the help of the pce guards, we grabbed buckets of water, desperately trying to douse the mes that threatened to consume the Queen¡¯s chamber.


    But the fire raged on, unyielding and relentless. It seemed to mock our feeble attempts to extinguish it, growing stronger, fiercer with each passing second. Panic rose within me as I realized our efforts were fruitless, and time was slipping through our fingers like grains of sand.


    ¡°The Luna¡¯s life is in danger! More than half of the chamber is already burned down. ¡± Beta Remy said.


    In that moment of desperation, it was Alpha Tyrion who made the decision that would forever change our lives. His eyes locked onto mine, a flicker of unwavering resolve shining within them. Without a word, he shifted, his body transforming into his magnificent wolf form.


    ¡°Alpha¡­ ¡± I whispered.


    I watched in awe and terror as his fur bristled, his muscles bulging with raw strength. With a mighty leap, he bounded through the engulfed doorway, disappearing into the mes. My heart clenched with a mixture of anguish and hope as I prayed for his safety, for his ability to navigate the treacherous inferno.


    ¡°No! Tyrion! ¡± Ava screamed behind me.


    Time stood still as the fire continued to rage, its crackling fury drowning out all other sounds. I paced anxiously, my hands sped together in desperate supplication. Tears welled in my eyes as I whispered fervent prayers for Alpha Tyrion¡¯s protection, for his safe return.


    ¡®What¡¯s wrong? What¡¯s taking so long? ¡® Belinay growled.


    Minutes stretched into eternity, and just when despair threatened to consume me, a figure emerged from the smoke. It was Alpha Tyrion, his wolf form intact, a beacon of strength amidst the chaos. He carried the Queen in his jaws, her limp form cradled tenderly.


    Something cried in me when I saw the Queen¡¯s lifeless body. She was a gentle and kind soul who had always advised me to do the right thing. But I saw her moving and coughing which meant she was somewhat fine after the ident.N?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    Relief washed over me in a tidal wave, my knees threatening to buckle beneath the weight of the emotions coursing through me. The guards rushed forward, taking the Queen from Alpha Tyrion¡¯s protective grasp, whisking her away to safety.


    ¡°The Queen needs the doctors now! ¡± Beta Remy announced to the guards.


    Alpha Tyrion approached me, his gaze filled with exhaustion and unspoken gratitude. I copsed into his embrace, my tears mingling with his fur as we held each other tightly, a silent acknowledgment of the dangers we had faced and the bond that had carried us through.


    ¡°You saved her! Are you okay? ¡± I asked, kissing his forehead. It was so much for me toprehend the whole situation. He was burnt a little with the mes and his eyes began to close on its own. His sight scared me when he dropped his weight on me.


    ¡°Please, get aside. We will carry him. ¡± The guards said as they helped Alpha to get back to his chamber. Ava ran behind but Alpha Kristian stopped her out of sheer embarrassment he faced by everyone.


    ¡°Alpha Tyrion is really brave. ¡± the maids whispered to each other.


    I took a deep breath and waited outside as the doctor examined him and gave him medicines. The aftermath of the fire left the pce shrouded in a heavy silence, a stark contrast to the chaos that had engulfed us just moments before. As I walked in, I saw Alpha Tyrion exhausted from his heroic efforts,ying on a makeshift cot, his eyes closed in much-needed rest. I watched over him, my heart swelling with admiration and gratitude for his bravery.


    ¡°You scared me, Alpha. You shouldn¡¯t have just jumped in the fire. ¡± I said, wiping my tears.


    As I leaned over to brush a gentle kiss upon his forehead, a sudden grip on my arm startled me. I turned to find Lycan Calle, his eyes glinting with a twisted sense of satisfaction. My blood ran cold as his words slithered through the air, dripping with menace.


    ¡°If you truly care for Tyrion¡¯s safety, you will do as I say,¡± Calle hissed, his grip tightening on my arm.


    Anger ignited within me, fueled by the audacity of his threats. ¡°You dare to threaten me? After all we have been through?¡± I seethed, my voice trembling with a mixture of fury and defiance.


    Calle¡¯s lips curled into a menacing smile, his voice a venomous whisper. ¡°Oh, my dear Celine, this is just the beginning. If you want to prevent further idents, idents that may im the lives of those you hold dear, then you will listen to me.¡±


    My heart hammered against my ribcage, a mixture of fear and determination coursing through my veins. I knew I had to tread carefully, to keep my loved ones safe. Reluctantly, I nodded, my voice barely above a whisper. ¡°What do you want?¡±


    Calle¡¯s eyes gleamed with a sick satisfaction as he revealed his twisted demand. ¡°Tonight, under the cover of darkness, meet me in the abandoned chambers of the pce. If you ever want to see more pictures of your mother or prevent harm from befalling those you cherish, you wille alone.¡±


    My breath caught in my throat, a knot of apprehension forming within me. The allure of more information about my mother¡¯s disappearance tugged at my heart, while the need to protect Alpha Tyrion and the pack weighed heavily upon my conscience. It was a dangerous game, one that I had no choice but to y.


    Scared yet motivated, I met Calle¡¯s gaze with a steely resolve. ¡°I wille,¡± I conceded, my voiceced with a mixture of defiance and desperation. ¡°But if you harm anyone, if you betray me, I swear I will make you regret it.¡±


    Calle¡¯s smile widened, a sinister glimmer dancing in his eyes. ¡°Very well, my dear Celine. Be prepared to discover truths that may shatter your world. The abandoned chambers await you.¡±


    As he released his grip on my arm and melted into the shadows, I was left with a whirlwind of emotions. Fear gnawed at the edges of my mind, but a flicker of hope burned within me. I would face the darkness, confront the secrets thaty hidden within the abandoned chambers, and do whatever it took to protect those I held dear.


    With the weight of the impending meeting heavy on my shoulders, I turned my gaze back to Alpha Tyrion. He stirred slightly in his sleep, a testament to his resilience and strength. As I leaned down to press a tender kiss against his temple, I silently vowed to unravel the mysteries that had gued my past, no matter the cost.

 Shadows of Betrayal

    Celine¡¯s POV :


    The moon cast a pale glow through the windows as I sat by Alpha Tyrion¡¯s side, watching his chest rise and fall rhythmically in deep slumber. Midnight hade and gone, and yet he remained oblivious to the world around him, his exhaustion consuming him like a heavy shroud.


    I hadn¡¯t gotten the courage to leave his side for even a minute after what Calle had told me. I couldn¡¯t afford to risk his life in any way. Even if it meant, I had to sit by him all night or even whole life.


    ¡°Why is everything so difficult for us? ¡± I talked to him. Somewhere in my heart I wanted him to wake up. So, that I could tell him everything and then we both could run away from here. But it was impossible right now, Calle had no regards for his own mate if he could put her life in danger like that.


    With a heavy heart, I rose from his side, my footsteps echoing softly in the quiet room. The weight of anticipation and worry settled upon my shoulders as I made my way towards the abandoned chambers, my thoughts consumed by the image of my mother.


    What secrets did those forgotten halls hold? Would I finally find the answers I had long sought?


    The pce was quiet after the fire incident because everyone had been traumatized by the fact that the Queen could have lost her life. I covered my bare arms with the shawl I had draped around me.


    ¡°Where are you going? ¡± I stopped in my tracks.


    Ava watched me with suspicion written on her face, her eyes narrowed down as I felt ufortable around her.


    ¡°None of your business. ¡± I said.


    She scoffed, ¡± Why don¡¯t you just leave him? Can¡¯t you see you brought the bad luck with you? ¡±


    I sighed, ¡± Ava, I don¡¯t have time for this. ¡±


    She pushed me, ¡± We are about to have a child together. You have put his life in danger so many times. I wish you were dead. He is mine. Mine. ¡±


    Fortunately, Alpha Kristian came to get her back to her chamber and I was able to go on my way. I didn¡¯t let her cruel words work on me because I knew that I would not cause any havoc in Alpha Tyrion¡¯s life. After thispetition ends and the dangers flying his head are gone, I would leave him.


    The building almost ck in color from the years of rain and no care, stared back at me. The garden which was now a ruin of something beautiful gave a haunted feeling. The air was colder here than the rest of the kingdom. Darkness and silence weed in the main entrance.


    As I stepped into the gloom of the abandoned chambers, the scent of candles and flowers engulfed me, mingling with the stale air of neglect. A room had been prepared, flickering candlelight casting dancing shadows upon the walls. Roses, deep red rosesy everywhere on the floor. It lookedpletely different than the rest of the building. It was beautiful and attracted me instantly.


    But my heart sank as I saw the figure standing amidst the flickering glow ¨C Lycan Calle, his eyes gleaming with a twisted desire. He was holding a bouquet of roses in his hands with a smile.


    Anger red within me, my voiceced with defiance. ¡°I came here for the pictures of my mother, not for your seduction games,¡± I spat, my voice trembling with a mixture of indignation and fear.


    Calle¡¯s lips curled into a sinister smile, his words dripping with a toxic sweetness. ¡°Oh, my dear Celine, you misunderstand. Your mother wanted this too. She yearned for us to be together, to embrace our true nature.¡±


    Revulsion twisted within me at his words, my body recoiling from his proximity. I took a step back, my resolve hardening. ¡°You¡¯re deluded! My mother would never want this. Let me go!¡±


    But before I could escape, his grip tightened around my ankle, his strength overpowering my feeble attempts at resistance. Panic surged through me as I realized my powerlessness, trapped within his clutches.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you ept that you belong to me? Don¡¯t lie that you couldn¡¯t feel the bond when you first saw me. I have been waiting for you. Longing for your touch and you dance around that crazy wolf. ¡± He was acting like aplete lunatic. His mouth just inches away from me.


    ¡°No! You have a mate. The Queen will never allow this! I am twenty decades younger than you! ¡±


    He snarled, ¡± It¡¯s not my fault that the arrangements was done this way. You¡¯re mine. And I will never allow you to carry someone else¡¯s pups. ¡± He touched my lips, ¡± Your eyes, your skin, your lips, your uterus, all belong to me¡­ ¡±


    I tried to kick him away but he was powerful enough to hold him under him. His dirty hands ran above my thigh and his mouth touching my neck. Tears escaped my eyes and even Belinay was unable toe over and fight him.


    He was the Lycan King after all.


    Just as despair threatened to consume me, a low growl reverberated through the chamber, piercing the tensionden air. I watched in astonishment as a massive red wolf burst into the room, eyes zing with a fierce determination


    ¡°Who¡¯s that? ¡± Calle growled.


    The wolf lunged at Calle, their bodies colliding in a whirlwind of snarls and swipes.


    The wolf looked at me with its bright silver eyes, tilting it¡¯s head in the direction of the exit.


    Instinct kicked in, and I seized the opportunity to break free, stumbling towards the exit. The sounds of their struggle echoed behind me as I ran, my heart pounding in my chest. Fear propelled me forward, my mind focused on escaping the clutches of that twisted Lycan.


    With each panicked step, I could hear the sh of teeth and the growls of the battling beasts. The red wolf fought valiantly, its presence a beacon of hope in the darkness. I dared not look back, knowing that my survival depended on reaching safety.


    Finally, I burst out into the moonlit night, gasping for breath. Tears mingled with the sweat on my face, my body trembling with adrenaline. I had escaped, but the encounter had left me shaken and more determined than ever to uncover the truth.


    As I nced back, the red wolf stood at the threshold of the abandoned chambers, its gaze locked with mine for a fleeting moment. Gratitude and awe filled my heart as I whispered a silent thank you to the guardian who hade to my rescue.Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    Calle was badly injured and he couldn¡¯t even get up as the wolf disappeared into the darkness from where it hade before.


    In that moment, I vowed to find the truth and bring an end to the darkness that had gued my mother¡¯s disappearance. I would face the dangers thaty ahead, armed with the strength forged from love and the courage gifted by the wolf who had saved me.


    ¡°I feel I am not that useless after all. ¡± I told my wolf who agreed too.

 Accusations and an old friend

    Celine¡¯s POV:


    I came back rushing to the pack and out of breath after the incident. I should have never trusted Calle who was already crazy enough to attack me and say all those weird things. I doubted if he actually knew anything about my mother other than the broken piece of the ne which he might have found by mistake. He was just using my emotions so that he could get into my life and carry on with his Evil intentions.


    Now, other than finding about my mother, I had something else to do which was to know more about the red wolf who had some how saved me from his vicious attack. My head was banging like it was struck against a wall so many times. I just wanted to get some rest and think properly about my next steps.


    Maybe, I should talk with the queen about the incident so that she could take action. I didn¡¯t know if I would be able to tell Alpha Tyrion about what happened because he wouldn¡¯t like to know that I went to meet Calle alone.


    My heart pounded in my chest as I entered my chamber, only to find Alpha Tyrion waiting for me, his expression a vtile mix of anger and hurt. He was ring at me with an unreadable expression on his face.


    Ava had told him for sure, revealing to him that I had ventured off alone to meet someone. Now, I stood before him, the weight of his usatory gaze bearing down upon me. I couldn¡¯t be here to stand before him when he must had thousands of questions going inside his head.


    ¡°Where were you?¡± he demanded, his voiceced with jealousy and betrayal. ¡°And why is your gown ripped from its arms?¡±


    Tears welled up in my eyes as I struggled to find the right words, my voice barely a whisper. ¡°I¡­ I went to the abandoned chambers¡­ seeking answers about my mother.¡±


    His face contorted with rage, he took a menacing step toward me. ¡°You dare to go off alone? To meet Calle?¡±


    ¡°No!¡± I cried, my voice trembling. ¡°I went alone, but it wasn¡¯t to meet him. I just¡­ I needed to understand.¡±


    But my feeble attempts to calm him fell on deaf ears. Ava, standing beside him, seized the opportunity to further ignite his anger.


    ¡°Oh really? I saw you with my own eyes when you were hugging and kissing Lycan Calle! Oh Goddess! That man has a mate. Is it your kink to get the men who already have mates? Does it satisfy your ego to know that you can get any mated men as you want? ¡±


    She made false usations, iming she had seen me kissing Calle and other men. The room seemed to spin as my anger surged, and without thinking, I pushed Ava away from me


    ¡°I am better than you at least! ¡± I screamed.


    In an instant, Alpha Tyrion¡¯s grip tightened around my arm, his strength overpowering me as he mmed me against the wall.


    ¡°Ty, she¡¯s a wh*re! ¡± Ava said but Alpha Tyrion ignored her.


    My back thudded against the cold stone, pain shooting through me. Fear gripped my heart as he leaned in close, his voice dripping with menace.


    ¡°You have tested my patience,¡± he growled, his eyes burning with a ferocity I had never witnessed before. ¡°I will show you my true self. I told you to not get in contact with that psycho. ¡±


    His words hung heavy in the air, a chilling warning of the darkness that lurked beneath hisposed exterior. With a final, brutal squeeze of my arm, he released me and stormed out of the chamber, dragging Ava with him.


    ¡°Fu*king bi*ch! ¡± She mumbled angrily.


    Alone and trembling, I sank to the floor, my tears flowing freely. The chamber felt suffocating, filled with the weight of betrayal and the echoes of Tyrion¡¯s anger.


    ¡°No! ¡± I screamed as I fell on my knees, ¡± I don¡¯t know what else to do! ¡±


    It was in that moment of despair that I noticed movement in the corner of my eye.


    A tiny kitten, the same one I had carried in my pack, emerged from the shadows. I watched in astonishment as the kitten underwent a remarkable transformation, shifting into the form of a young girl. She approached me cautiously and wrapped her arms around me in aforting hug.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    ¡°Who¡­ who are you?¡± I managed to choke out, my voice quivering.


    ¡°I am Carly. ¡± she whispered softly. ¡°I¡¯ve been watching over you, waiting for the right moment to reveal myself. You are not alone, Celine.¡±


    Her words held a profound reassurance, a glimmer of hope amidst the turmoil. I clung to her presence, finding sce in her unexpectedpanionship. Carly¡¯s arrival signified that there were forces at y beyond my understanding, allies hidden in in sight.


    As I held Carly, tears still streaming down my face, I vowed to protect her, just as she had protected me. Together, we would navigate the treacherous paths ahead, uncovering the truth and seeking justice in a world tainted by betrayal and hidden agendas.


    ¡°But why did you nevere in your real form before? And what are you doing in the wolf kingdom? Why can¡¯t I and anyone else catch your scent? ¡±


    She chuckled as I asked her so many questions all at once¡­


    ¡°Because I never found the right reason to reveal my identity but right now you¡¯re so alone. Secondly, I am a mix of wolf and a hybrid cat mother giving me the presence of a kitten yet the scent of a wolf. I used to live with my mother in the woods but then the rogues killed her. I found the old chambers in Alpha Tyrion¡¯s pack where no one ever came. Until, one day, you came and picked me up like my mother. ¡±


    I hugged her again, caressing her soft ck hair. She was so thin and her bones touched my arms.


    ¡°I will always protect you. ¡± I said.


    ¡°No, I will seek revenge from that Ava first. I am going to scratch her face and make her ugly. ¡± She angrily said.

 Secrets Unveiled

    Celine¡¯s POV:


    Kitten or Katie as she liked it, had slept on my bed after we talked about so many things rted to her past and the struggles she faced. I always felt a soft connection to her even though I didn¡¯t know about her before. Now, when she had finally made at her presence in my life so evident, I was just delighted to have her around.


    A soft knock on my door interrupted the stillness of my solitude, causing my heart to race with anticipation. I carefully shifted the young girl, who had sought refuge in my room, into a hidden corner. I walked towards the door and gently pushed it open.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    To my surprise, the Luna Queen stood before me, her regal presence marred by a noticeable limp. I widened my eyes in concern,


    ¡°Luna Queen, pleasee in. How have you been? I haven¡¯t seen you since the fire ident.¡±


    The Luna Queen entered, her face etched with a mixture of pain and gratitude. ¡°Celine, my dear, I am grateful to both you and Tyrion for saving my life. I owe you both a debt that can never be repaid.¡±


    I nodded, a flicker of sadness crossing my features. ¡°It was our responsibility to protect you, Luna Queen. We couldn¡¯t stand by and let harm befall you.¡±


    She let out a sigh, her voice barely above a whisper. ¡°Celine, there are dangers lurking within the pack. Someone set my chamber on fire, and I fear they want to hurt not only me but everyone here.¡±


    A knot of nervousness tightened in my stomach, my mind racing with possibilities. ¡°Do you have any idea who could be behind such a malicious act?¡±


    I wanted to tell her about the Lycan king and how dangerous he was but I didn¡¯t know if it was safe to discuss it with her.


    The Luna Queen reached out, her gentle touch rubbing my head as tears welled up in her eyes. ¡°Celine, it pains me to say this, but I believe it was the Lycan king himself. He has always harbored ill intentions towards me.¡±


    Shock coursed through my veins at her revtion, my voice barely a whisper. ¡°The Lycan king? But why would he want to harm you?¡±


    She knew! She had always known about him about the problems he caused her.


    A sob escaped the Luna Queen¡¯s lips as she struggled to find her words. ¡°Celine, I was the chosen mate of the Lycan king, but he never truly wanted me. He desired a mate with special powers, someone who could strengthen his rule. I am not special, Celine. I don¡¯t possess the abilities he desired.¡±


    Her words hung heavy in the air, the weight of her pain and disappointment palpable. I reached out, cing aforting hand on her arm. ¡°Luna Queen, you are special in your own right. Your worth is not defined by the powers you possess orck. You deserve love and respect.¡±


    She nodded, tears streaming down her face. ¡°Thank you, Celine. Your words bring me sce. But please, be careful. The Lycan king is cunning and dangerous. I don¡¯t want you or anyone else to fall victim to his wrath.¡±


    A shiver traveled down my spine, and I nodded, my voice filled with determination. ¡°I will remain vignt, Luna Queen. I promise to do everything in my power to protect the pack members and ensure our safety. But who his fated mate? ¡±


    ¡°It was my elder sister whom he wanted. But she wasn¡¯t his fated mate either. He just wanted her because of the powers she carried. He did everything in his father to make her his mate. As far killed her lover¡­¡±


    The weight of the Luna Queen¡¯s revtions hung heavy in the air, each word unraveling a twisted tale of love and betrayal. My heart ached for her as she shared the tragic story of her elder sister and the Lycan King¡¯s first mate.


    ¡°I cannot imagine the pain your sister must have endured,¡± I whispered, my voice filled with empathy. ¡°To be forced into a loveless union, separated from the one she truly loved.¡±


    The Luna Queen nodded, her eyes filled with sorrow. ¡°Indeed, it was a cruel fate. She had a daughter with her true love, and the Lycan King¡¯s jealousy knew no bounds. He killed her lover, believing that their daughter would possess the powers he sought. But he could never find her, no matter how hard he tried.¡±


    A lump formed in my throat as I absorbed the gravity of her words. The Luna Queen reached out, taking my hand in hers, her touch bothforting and bittersweet. ¡°Celine, my dear, you look exactly like my sister did in her younger years. It is as if she lives on through you. You are the lost princess, the blood of my own sister.¡±


    I gasped, my mind reeling at the revtion. ¡°No, Luna Queen, it cannot be. I can¡¯t be rted to you. It¡¯s too much toprehend.¡±


    Tears welled up in her eyes as she cupped my face, her voice filled with tenderness. ¡°Sweetie, the truth may be difficult to ept, but the pieces of the puzzle fit together. I feel it in my heart, and I see it in your eyes. You are family, my sweet Celine.¡±


    Overwhelmed with emotion, I embraced her tightly, tears mingling with hers. The connection I had felt with her all along suddenly made sense, as if we were destined to find each other in this tumultuous journey.


    But amidst the joy, the Luna Queen¡¯s words of caution lingered. ¡°Celine, we must be careful. The Lycan King knows about you. He bound himself to you when you were born, so he could sense your presence. We cannot let him discover the truth. We must pretend that we are unaware of our connection.¡±


    Fear gripped my heart as I realized the danger that loomed over us. We had to tread carefully, keeping our true knowledge hidden from prying eyes. ¡°I understand, Luna Queen. We must protect ourselves, our secret, and the pack.¡±


    She nodded, her gaze filled with a mix of determination and motherly love. ¡°We will protect each other, Celine. Together, we are stronger. But we must remain vignt and trust no one with this truth.¡±


    As we held each other, tears of both sorrow and newfound kinship streaming down our faces, I knew that our lives had taken an unexpected turn. The weight of this secret would be a heavy burden to bear, but we would face it together, united by blood and a shared purpose.

 Trust no one in hard times

    Celine¡¯s POV:


    ¡°I need to tell Alpha Tyrion. ¡± I said, standing up from the bed.N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    Luna held my hand and stopped me, ¡± No, don¡¯t tell him anything. ¡±


    My heart fell into the pits of my abdomen as the hope to clear everything between me and Alpha Tyrion seemed to be gone with the new condition. But he was my mate and he had always supported me.


    ¡°He ought to know about this secret. I can¡¯t keep it from him. ¡±


    Luna shook her head, ¡± I know how you feel about not telling him the truth but believe me. This is not something you can tell everyone. Even the man you think you love. Believe no one, Celine¡­ ¡±


    I felt the headacheing back when I realized she was serious about the issue and even my own mate couldn¡¯t be trusted.


    ¡°But why? ¡±


    She sighed, ¡± Everyone wants your powers¡­ Every shifter. It¡¯s once in a while. We don¡¯t even know who your father was¡­ But he was a special shifter. Someone with abundance of powers. ¡±


    Her eyes sparkled, almost shining as the memories ran through her mind. But one thing whichforted me even in these tough times was I had a family member.


    She was my mother¡¯s sister¡­ She was the one who was raised with her. They must have spent so much time with each other.


    ¡°How was my mother as a person? What did she like to eat? What was her favourite hobby? ¡±


    The Queen smiled, ¡± Ruby was amazing. She was the life of the pce. Our parents¡¯ favourite child. The girl who was loved by everyone. She would spread love everywhere she used to go. ¡±


    Her eyes got the moisture as she talked about my mother. She took a deep breath and hugged me.


    ¡°She was just like you. Never lost a challenge and even brought the head Lion King to the pack reunion once because of her wits. ¡±


    ¡°The pack must have thought she was different. ¡± I said.


    ¡°Oh, of course they did. It couldn¡¯t be hidden for so long when the stories of her might and power spread like forest fire. Everyone wanted to be her mate. To make her theirs. But she loved someone else. Your father. A shifter of different kind. Love makes you blind. It was the most difficult time of our lives. And then this Last lycan came to the new pack one day¡­ ¡± She stopped before continuing again, ¡± He was there for the annual meet up when he saw Ruby. Her powers and her beauty blinded him. He was obsessed with her even though there were girls who wanted him. ¡±


    A tear dropped from her eye and I touched her hand, ¡± I know. Please, stop worrying about whatever happened in the past. We need to work on our future. We need to find my mother. ¡±


    She shot her head up, ¡± What do you mean? Do you know where she is? ¡±


    ¡°No, I don¡¯t know about her yet but soon I will find her. Then, we can throw this Lycan Calle to where he belongs. In the dungeon¡­ ¡±


    The Queen stood up from the bed, ¡± Get some rest. He will stay away from you for a while and don¡¯t listen to him. He doesn¡¯t know anything about your mother or father. ¡±


    I nodded, ¡± Please take care of yourself too. ¡±


    After she was gone, I immediately locked the door so that I could talk to Katie about everything she might have heard. I checked the corner where I had hidden her and had also put a nket over her but she was not there. I noticed the open window and realized that she must have jumped out of it like all the time. I knew that she woulde back soon but she needed her time to getfortable with the new pack.


    ¡®We need to talk to Tyrion. I don¡¯t care what she just said but you should understand the severity of the situation. I don¡¯t want more misunderstandings between us because we can sort everything out if we are together. ¡® Belinay said.


    ¡®But the Luna just said it¡¯s not the right thing to do. ¡®


    I knew that she was angry because her mate Bond was stronger than anyone present here. It was just like cheating and betrayal.


    ¡®You will regret it one day¡­ ¡®


    I sighed, ¡® Can we try to find out about the Red wolf who helped us? It must be in the pack or nearby because it just came out of nowhere. ¡®


    Belinay grew interested in the conversation again after her outburst due to the lying, ¡® Yes, that Red Wolf¡­ ¡®


    I was confused and lost because some people wanted to hurt me and kill me while there was someone who just came out of now where and saved my life from that Lycan.


    ¡®We need to do the search in the dark when everyone¡¯s asleep. I should have asked the queen if she knew anyone with the red fur. It surely is a unique colour and not many of us have it. ¡® I told her.


    Belinay snarled, ¡® I don¡¯t think we should be discussing about the wolf who saved us with anyone. Not even the Luna Queen. Don¡¯t you remember what she said? ¡®


    I frowned, ¡® What did she say? ¡®


    ¡® Trust no one¡­ ¡®


    I didn¡¯t know if she was really smart or too much paranoid because it was true that we shouldn¡¯t believe anyone but two thing that everyone meant harm was just too much of the drama.


    ¡®If it¡¯s paranoia, then why don¡¯t you tell Tyrion about everything? ¡®


    ¡®Ah, okay. We will do everything on our own. Is that right, madame? ¡®


    ¡®Yes, peasant¡­ ¡®


    I heard some sound from the window and as I turned I saw katie climbing back into the room.


    ¡°Where have you been? ¡± I asked.


    ¡± I didn¡¯t want to create any problems for you because the queen might have caught my scent and she would have known that I was a different type of shifter in her Pce without her information. But are you okay? You look stressed. ¡±


    I rubbed my forehead, ¡± Yes, things have been difficult here. ¡±


    ¡®Tell her we are going on a search tonight. ¡® Belinay said.


    ¡®What? But didn¡¯t you say that we shouldn¡¯t be telling anyone anything? ¡®


    ¡®I trust this kid. ¡® She said firmly.


    She was just so weird and talked out of her ass all the time. Tell this person, don¡¯t tell others¡­


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Do you need my help? Is it Ava? I saw her talking to some guy in the garden. He was kissing her and rubbed her belly. ¡±


    ¡°With a guy? Alright, we can find out who that is. But tonight I need you with me. We¡¯re going somewhere. ¡±


    ¡°Where? ¡±


    ¡°On a secret night mission.. ¡±

 True Confession

    Celine¡¯s POV :


    I had dressed myself in a ck gown after applying some ointment on my bruises. Katie was growing excited for tonight and I was nervous yet had high hopes to find more clues.


    ¡°Are we ready now? ¡± I asked her.


    ¡°Yes! ¡±


    We walked out of the room and went into the dark corridor. There were not enough soldiers outside and those who were present, they didn¡¯t mind me going anywhere. Katie was in her kitten form andpletely hidden under my tight grip. She was warm and jumping with excitement.


    ¡°Sshh. Don¡¯t move so much. ¡±


    We were able to get out to the staircase of the top floor of the Royal chambers. That must hold the secrets rted to my mother because she had been a part of this ce too.


    ¡°Again? Is he calling you in the bedroom now? Have you againpromised yourself? ¡±


    My body turned cold as I heard Alpha Tyrion. He came out of the dark and his bloodshot eyes asked me unspoken questions. I never wanted him to me me so much.


    ¡°I am not going to meet any man¡­ ¡±


    He scoffed, ¡± Then where are you going? In the middle of the night? ¡±


    ¡°I am trying to find something rted to my past. I want to know about some secrets. ¡±


    He held my hand and pushed me against the wall, making kitten fall on the floor. She hissed in pain and hid behind me. Alpha Tyrion picked her up and continued to look at her.


    ¡°Who¡¯s this? Isn¡¯t it the same kitten who was in the old chambers too? ¡± He asked, still holding her. Kitten tried to run away from his grip but he was adamant on keeping her in the ce.


    ¡°Let her go. ¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s going on, Celine? ¡± He asked, finally letting go of her.


    ¡°Nothing¡­ ¡±


    ¡°Why? Why are you doing this to me? To us? ¡± His voice sounded so hurt and I clenched my fists.


    He lifted my face as he held it up by my chin. I looked into his blue orbs. I hated to see him this hurt. I wanted to do something to help him. To tell him.


    ¡°Then tell me! ¡± He shouted, ¡± Why are you stopping yourself from doing so? ¡±


    I couldn¡¯t look into his anymore because it was as if he was hypnotizing me.


    ¡°Alpha¡­ I don¡¯t think our rtionship is this strong. We signed a contract. You told me you hated my existence. And that you will never love me ever! ¡±


    He ran his hand through his hair, ¡± Do you think I was sleeping with you because I wanted to use you? That I didn¡¯t see you as a potential mate? ¡±


    I nodded my head, wiping my tears off my face. The truth was bitter but it had to be said. The lump in my throat tightened.


    ¡°Yes, after all I don¡¯t have kingdoms named after me. I am not carrying your pup. I wasn¡¯t even your choice! That cunning men tied me to you. It was so difficult to even imagine what we went through. Those Alphas watched me in such a state, they yed a joke on you by mating you with a maid. Didn¡¯t they? Would you have chosen me if it wasn¡¯t for the forced bond? ¡± I was out of breath now and fell to my knees.


    I had always felt inferior and insecure about our rtionship even though sometimes I would fantasize about how Alpha Tyrion had started to give me enough attention and the care which every women desired. But the reality that it was never a bond for him was something which could not be hidden for so long.


    What was even the use of me telling him about the mate bond if he couldn¡¯t feel it? What if he would say I was just lying?


    ¡°Celine! You think like that about us¡­ ¡± His mouth was agape, ¡± You have hurt me more than the death of my own father today. Your words are like poisonous thorns. ¡±


    ¡°But this is the truth¡­ ¡±? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    ¡°No! ¡± He growled, his fangs on disy, ¡± The truth is I love you! I love you Luna Celine. You¡¯re mine. I marked you. My wolf marked you that night when I was out of reasoning. He knew what he was doing. Your wolf knows about it too. ¡±


    My knees went wobbly and I could feel my heart threatening to burst open from my chest. I couldn¡¯t believe his words. He was still looking at me.


    ¡°What did you say? That¡¯s not true. That can¡¯t happen. Your pup¡­ ¡±


    ¡°I know! But I am not afraid to announce it to the world. Ava getting pregnant is not my fault. She nearly forced me that night. I was unaware of her evening to the pack. We had strictly decided to not have s*x before the marking. But she came out of nowhere and jumped on me. Telling those things. I didn¡¯t evene. She must have gotten pregnant by the pre cum. I didn¡¯t fu*ing give my consent! ¡±


    Katie cleared her throat, ¡± I think that¡¯s someone else¡¯s cum¡­ ¡±


    I gasped when she came out to Alpha Tyrion in her human form and bowed her head. He looked at me and then at her.


    ¡°Who are you? ¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s carly¡­ ¡±


    ¡°Please call me Katie¡­¡±


    ¡°I mean who¡¯s she! Where did shee from? Why doesn¡¯t she have a scent? ¡± Alpha Tyrion asked.


    ¡°That¡¯s a long story¡­ ¡±


    ¡°Yes, a really long story. ¡± I added.


    He grew frustrated, ¡± What did you mean by someone¡¯s else¡¯s¡­ that? ¡±


    Katie grew interested, ¡± That Ava. She was with another man in the woods. He was kissing and rub¡­ ¡± I eyed her to stop giving details¡± You know doing things they shouldn¡¯t be doing. And it wasn¡¯t her mate. ¡±


    Alpha Tyrion was taken aback for a while but surprisingly he didn¡¯t look so hurt or angry as he looked when I told him that our rtionship was fake.


    ¡°That must be kain. Bas*rd wasn¡¯t lying! ¡±


    Katie jumped again, ¡± It wasn¡¯t Kain either¡­ ¡±


    Now, that got me by surprise too. I frowned at Katie but she was wiggling her brows getting happy with the information she shared about Ava.


    ¡°I don¡¯t care about that bi*ch! I lost every respect for you when she tried to sleep with me after the task day 2. That¡¯s when I got the memories back of that night. ¡± He was fuming with anger.


    I just stood there like a clown with my face red and wet from the big revtions. Katie noticed me looking at Alpha Tyrion.


    ¡°Please continue again. That disy of love. I shouldn¡¯t have disturbed you during the confession. ¡± She chuckled and stood in the corner again.


    Alpha Tyrion and me stared at each other. He was the one who moved first.


    ¡°I love you, Celine. I don¡¯t care about Ava, Calle, your past or any other probleming our way. When I say I love you, I mean it. I can¡¯t imagine letting you go. I don¡¯t care in which corner of the Earth you hide, I will always find you. To beg for your love. To beg for the bond which we were meant to have. ¡±


    I couldn¡¯t hold myself any longer and hugged him like it was thest day of my life.


    ¡°I love you too. I have always loved you¡­ ¡±


    He kissed me and I clutched the back of his head.


    ¡°Ummm should I just leave now because things are getting heated? ¡± Katieughed.


    Alpha Tyrion chuckled, ¡± Thanks for keeping an eye on Ava.¡±


    She bowed her head, ¡± I always keep my eyes on her. You know she wears lots of makeup! ¡± Iughed as I wiped my face.


    Alpha Tyrion looked at me again, ¡± Now, where are we going dressed up in all ck? ¡±


    ¡°A mission. A secret one¡­ ¡°

 Who’s the red wolf?

    Celine¡¯s POV :


    ¡°I need to know everything. But I do trust you. ¡± Alpha Tyrion said as we went upstairs.


    I turned to him and tried to give him a quick summary of whatever that happened and especially what Luna Queen told me.


    ¡°She¡¯s my mother¡¯s sister and my aunt. Calle killed my father and maybe mother too. Nobody knows anything about them. He wants me now because of my special powers¡­ ¡±


    He growled, ¡± He will never be able to touch you! He might have seeded in the past but not now. He needs to learn his lesson of never getting in the way of mated wolves. ¡±


    I smiled at him and we exchanged a small gesture of gratitude to the painting of a white wolf in the corridor.


    The Soul Guide. The one who would guide every wolf to listen to their inner voices and win over any enemy.


    ¡°This room is open. ¡± Katie told us as she held open the huge doors to the chamber.


    As went in, the darkness weed us. But the special shifter eyes allowed us to look without any difficulty as we tried to see if there was something important to check here in the room. The moonlight was enough to clear out some things around the open windows.


    The chamber was huge and decorated. Even though covered in dust, it had the expensivemp and beautiful paintings. The closet beside it was locked and when I tried to open it, the dust made me cough uncontrobly.


    ¡°Careful, Celine. ¡±


    Alpha Tyrion helped me to get away from the piles of dirt falling on our heads. The closet was still stuck and Alpha kicked it thrice before it flung open. There were some books, clothes and a few items in the shelves.? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    ¡°What¡¯s this? ¡± Katie said as she picked one ne with green emerald on it. I touched it and felt a spark running through my body. It was some sort of sign that it might be rted to me.


    Belinay was out of herfort zone. She was being very alert and listening intently to the small sounds around us. one particr sound was grabbing her attention but it wasn¡¯t any near to us.


    ¡°This is a family picture. ¡± Alpha Tyrion said, taking the huge framed picture out of the closet.


    It showed up an Alpha, Luna, two daughters and a son. I could see the resemnce on the younger daughter and it was the Luna Queen. That meant the elder one was my mother and the boy, he was my uncle.


    I touched their faces and tears blinded my vision. It was a happy family. Five people living without any issues. Then, this calle had toe and ruin everything.


    ¡°We will find everything about them. ¡± Katie Said.


    Alpha Tyrion growled angrily, ¡± I don¡¯t think that we have to waste time in finding the clues because we know what he did and I want to punish him for the crime he hasmitted in the past. I will make him tell me about the whereabouts of your parents if they are alive! ¡±


    I shook my head, ¡± We need to be careful. He is powerful. He is a Lycan! If my powerful mother couldn¡¯t k*ll him, then we are nothing against him. We have to find a way to end him. And I need to find the red wolf. ¡±


    Alpha Tyrion was still angry and ready to attack Calle but he controlled his calm because he knew that I was right. It was extremely difficult to k*ll him without the proper knowledge about him.


    Katie was looking through a pile of files when she called us to have a look at some thing she found there. She flipped through the pages and pointed at a picture.


    My eyes widened with shock and surprise as I stared down at the face and the wolf.


    The Red Wolf¡­ It was there along with my mother and aunt when she was around 17. She was sitting with it and was smiling. The next picture showed mother and red wolf along with a small ck wolf. The third picture cleared my confusion when I realized that in the picture it was my aunt and uncle and mother in her majestic grey wolf form.


    ¡°The Red Wolf is my uncle! He is alive! He saved me that day. He has been watching me and keeping an eye on me. ¡± I cried to Alpha Tyrion.


    He nodded, giving me a tight hug. I buried my face into his shirt.


    My uncle and my aunt were alive. That gave me hope that my mother could somewhere too.


    ¡°But why doesn¡¯t he live here? Along with the Luna.¡± Katie asked.


    ¡°He can¡¯t live here because he is the heir after Celine¡¯s mother to this pack. Calle would never allow him here. He must be living hiding somewhere all this time but kept an eye on Calle. ¡±


    Alpha Tyrion was right and I was delighted to know that my uncle was here. I had to find him again and talk to him. He would definitely have the answers to my questions.


    ¡°We have to call him somehow. ¡±


    Alpha Tyrion nodded, ¡± Yes, in that abandoned building. But Calle must not know about this. ¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t think Calle knows about him. Maybe he never saw his wolf form. But my uncle is powerful. He was able to injured him and give me the time to escape. I hope Calle didn¡¯t hurt him after that. ¡±


    We shared a moment of silence as the things which had seemed to be opening up were not this easy to understand. The arrival of my uncle and then him going away into the dark shadows was a mystery.


    We heard the guardsing to the upper chamber and hid behind the closet.


    ¡°What the hell are they doing here? ¡± Katie whispered.


    I shrugged my shoulder, ¡± Maybe they heard the sound of those kicks when closet was stuck. ¡±


    Katie smirked and shifted to her kitten form and jumped on the top of closet on the other side of the room.


    ¡°That¡¯s a stupid animal. ¡± The guard said.


    ¡°This room isn¡¯t that important. Unlike thest room in the corridor. The Lycan will never allow us to get a leave. Just stand there like a statue all the time. ¡±


    They scoffed and left the room. I leaned against the closet and Alpha Tyrion grabbed my hand.


    ¡®Thest room. ¡®

 Aggressive Alpha in bed

    Celine¡¯s POV :


    ¡°We need to get out of here before theye back again. ¡± Alpha Tyrion said, holding my hand and taking me out of the room.


    Katie was behind us as we quietly made our way out of the floor. It had helped me with so many things especially the revtion of having an uncle who was aware of my identity. This challenge had been proving to be a blessing in disguise for me as before this I was just an orphan girl with no memory of my family.


    I was back in my chamber and Alpha tyrion locked the door. We knew there were so many unexined things which needed to be discussed yet none of us seemed to know where to start.


    ¡°So, we need to find your uncle first. Right? ¡± He finally asked.


    I nodded, ¡± He will help with all the missing pieces of information. ¡±


    I let the curiosity to search thest room of the top floor hid in the back of my head as for now. We had juste back from there and to go again without raising suspicion was impossible.


    ¡°If Calle tries anything again, just let me know. ¡± He said,ing closer, ¡± I am not leaving you alone even for a minute now. He has already taken a lot of advantage from us because of our own misunderstanding and conflicts. ¡±N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    I turned my head towards Katie who went to the bathroom to give us some space. I needed to make some things clear with Alpha Tyrion first.


    ¡°What if that child was yours, would you still have left Ava? ¡± I asked, folding my arms over my chest.


    He sighed, ¡± It¡¯s not like I intentionally impregnated her or had any ns before the marking ceremony at least. It was her n as I can see now. ¡±


    ¡°If you can get over her so easily, did you ever even love her? Do you like me because I am younger? ¡±


    He raised his brows, his nostrils red with anger yet he controlled himself from growling, ¡± My love for you has nothing to do with your age, powers or your beauty. It¡¯s just something I feel for you. I don¡¯t know¡­ ¡±


    ¡°You didn¡¯t answer the full question. ¡± I asked, sternly.


    He looked into my eyes this time, ¡± The truth about me marrying Ava in the first ce was that her father Alpha Jonathan had promised me to provide more military support to the pack. He had also helped me with training and going to the Alpha Alliance as a member. Marrying Ava was a professional choice, I managed to make my wolf believe that we loved her. Yet, he never epted it. But see, I haven¡¯t found my mate yet ording to the Moon Goddess rules. But my love for you is more than any fated bond. ¡±


    I clenched my fists tightly, not letting the thought run in my mind if he could read it.


    ¡°What if your fated mate shows up this time? Would you leave me for her? ¡±


    He grabbed me by my waist and I collided into his chest, ¡± I am never letting you go. I want You till thest day of my life. Even if you want to leave me, I am never letting you run away. ¡±


    Our breaths were mixing and I could feel his hard erection rubbing against me. I knew he wanted me and I was as ready as him. His hungry mouth sucked onto my lips.


    ¡°Kitten¡­ Katie¡­ ¡± I whispered almost remembering her presence.


    He growled and knocked on the bathroom door. But we didn¡¯t get any answer.


    ¡°Open it. ¡± He told me, as he stood on the other side of the room looking away.


    I pulled open the door and looked around thevish bathroom but Katie wasn¡¯t there. I saw the open window and realized she had gone back to the woods to wander off.


    ¡°She isn¡¯t here¡­ ¡±


    I couldn¡¯t even finish speaking when he picked me up from the floor and mmed me against the wall. His rough hands tore off my clothes and I tried to kiss his handsome face. He was furious and desperate meanwhile I could feel myself building up an orgasm in my nerves.


    ¡°Suck.¡± He pushed his thumb in my mouth joined by two more fingers. I used my tongue on his fingers in circr motion. His other hand moved down on my thighs and he pped my left leg to make me spread open for him.


    His palm rubbed against my throbbing p*ssy to make the pain of my excitement unbearable. Roughly he rubbed my cl*t so hard, I orgasmed within half a minute. My legs were shaking and I fell on the floor on my knees. He unzipped his pants and pulled out his hard d*ck. The veins popped up on it and I touched it to feel the strength.


    I was about to suck him but he held me in his arms, toy me down on the bed. He rubbed his co*k on my cl*t and I closed my thighs to feel him more.


    ¡°Do you want me to fill you up? ¡± He asked.


    I nodded, ¡± Yes, Alpha¡­ ¡±


    ¡°I prefer daddy at such times¡­ ¡±


    ¡°A daddy? ¡± I asked, confused.


    He smirked, ¡± Yes, a dirty daddy who does things like this¡­ ¡±


    He pushed his c*ck in me and I jumped up with his girth filling me up. I could feel his di*k doing movements inside me and a smile was on his lips as he flexed his muscles to move himself deep into me.


    ¡°I can fu*k you all day and night. ¡± He said.


    His dirty words aroused me more, ¡± F*ck me, daddy. ¡±


    His gripped tightened on my neck. He licked my ni*ples and circled them with his tongue.


    ¡°I am going to punish you for meeting Calle behind my back. Do you know how jealous I got because of your little stunt? I just wanted to ki*l him. And breed you¡­ ¡±


    He gave me hard thrust and I backed up on the bed, grasping the sheets in movement.


    ¡°Why are you getting so aggressive? I have never seen you this angry before? ¡± I asked.


    His thrust deepened, ¡± Maybe my wolf knows something which I don¡¯t¡­ ¡±


    I moaned when he added his index finger with his c*ock and his thumb rubbed my cl*t.


    ¡°What does he know, daddy? ¡± I asked.


    ¡°Are you my fated mate? ¡°

 Intriguing Moments

    Celine¡¯s POV:


    ¡°What do you think about it? What does your wolf say? ¡± I asked, still looking into his eyes.


    My eyes rolled back as the orgasm overtook my senses with thest deep thrust he gave me. I could feel my toes curling and breath rate increasing.


    ¡°My wolf says he knows your soul. He thinks you are his. No matter fated or chosen¡­ ¡±


    I touched his face and wiped the sweat off his face. This was the best feeling as an undesired mate whose man had just epted her even if the Goddess would have not linked us together. Maybe it was the test of our bond. He was getting closer to it now, slowly and steadily.


    ¡°I will always be by your side. ¡± I kissed himst time before hiding my face into his chest.


    We snuggled up and spent the night together. It was a calming feel after the horrendous turn of events. Having a mate with you, not only gave you power but a real strength above all.


    The morning came in a blink and I was woken up by the sound of running water as Alpha Tyrion took a shower. Iid on my side and waited for him toe out with a smile.


    ¡°Good morning, love. ¡± He said, buttoning up his shirt.


    ¡°Morning.¡±


    ¡°Where¡¯s that kid? The kitten? ¡± He asked,ing over to the bed and kissing me.


    I rubbed my eyes and yawned, ¡± She wille back soon. ¡±


    ¡°I am going to have a talk with the Beta regarding the challenge and the new tasks. Calle has been missing for so long now. I don¡¯t know where he might have run off to. ¡±


    The name of Calle brought the impending headache back to me. I was not ready to face him but neither was I scared of him anymore. He was just a cunning, weak men who had been using Women to get the power and rise up in thedder. After Alpha Tyrion had gone out, I decided to immediately get dressed up after the shower. My belly growled with hunger and it seemed as if I had been hungry for days.


    ¡®I can sense danger. ¡® Belinay whispered a warning in my head.


    With time, I had learnt to trust my wolf and her instincts for sure, ¡® We will fight it. ¡®


    As I entered the grand dining hall, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and warm pastries filled the air, inviting me to indulge in the morning feast. But amidst the chatter and clinking of silverware, I couldn¡¯t help but feel a heavy presence lingering in the room. My gaze lifted, and there he was ¨C King Calle, his piercing eyes locked onto mine with an intensity that sent shivers down my spine.


    The bruise which my uncle had given him was still fresh and he looked pissed yet the smirk didn¡¯t wave off from his face. He was eyeing me hard, his fists clenched in anger.


    Alpha Tyrion must have been with Beta Remy because neither of them were in the dining room other than me, Calle, Queen and Ava with Alpha Kristian. Calle didn¡¯t take his eyes off me as I tried to find the ce to sit near the Queen.


    But unlike before, I didn¡¯t cower under his gaze. No, I stood tall, my heart filled with a newfound courage, knowing that I had my mate, Alpha Tyrion, by my side. With his unwavering support, I no longer feared the Lycan king¡¯s menacing stare. Instead, I met his gaze head-on, a silent challenge in my eyes.


    Ignoring the palpable tension in the room, I made my way to the table, exchanging polite nods with the other guests.


    ¡°How are you feeling now? ¡± I asked the Queen, carefully knowing that Calle must not know that I was aware of her identity.


    ¡°I am doing better now. Where¡¯s Alpha Tyrion? ¡± She asked and this made Ava to lift her head up.


    ¡°He is busy working with Beta Remy to run the pack matters smoothly. ¡±


    Calle didn¡¯t like that and he immediately got up from the chair. His guards surrounded him as he gave them orders to inform him about the ongoing progress in the pack.


    ¡°Who ordered you to change the theme? ¡± He growled at one man and rushed out of the room. Before walking out, he was still looking at me and his deadly stare gave me some sort of warning. He was out of my sight now and i could finally breathe properly.


    Yet, I couldn¡¯t shake the feeling of Calle¡¯s eyes boring into me, his silent scrutiny like a weight on my shoulders.


    ¡°We should go back to your chamber now. ¡± Maya said, standing behind my chair.


    The air felt cold and something shifted in the room with her mere presence. She had been missing for days and had suddenlye out of nowhere.


    ¡°Yes, I should get some rest. ¡± The Queen looked at me for a brief moment and stood up.


    ¡°Celine is glowing after the passionate night¡­ ¡± Maya said with a smirk rolling up in her face.


    I frowned and blinked in confusion as nothing made sense. How did she know about that?


    Ava choked on her food and Alpha Kristian rubbed her back. She didn¡¯t stay there for another minute and almost ran out of the dining room along with Alpha Kristian.


    ¡®Well, we can have breakfast in peace now. Everyone is avoiding us like a flu except that Calle. ¡® Belinay muttered under her breath.


    After a hearty breakfast, I retreated to my chambers, craving a moment of solitude. Alpha Tyrion was yet toe and I feared that he might get into an argument with Calle. It was eerily calm in the chamber corridors and I was d to have a few moments of loneliness to introspect.


    But as I closed the door behind me, a faint sound echoed through the corridor, drawing my attention. It was soft, almost imperceptible, yet it tugged at the edges of my senses, beckoning me to follow.


    It was almost as if someone was running in the corridors but just doing circles outside my room.


    Curiosity piqued, I hesitated only for a moment before sumbing to its call. Quietly, I padded down the corridor, my footsteps echoing against the marble floors. The sound grew louder with each step, guiding me to the top floor of the pce and into thest room at the end of the hallway.


    Thest room¡­ There were no guards and I could hear the sound growing louder.


    ¡®Go for it. ¡® Belinay encouraged me.


    Heart pounding, I pushed open the door, my breath catching in my throat as I stepped inside. The room was dimly lit, shadows dancing along the walls, but it was the source of the sound that sent a chill down my spine.


    It wasing from the wall ¨C a rhythmic tapping, like someone or something trapped within. My pulse quickened, fear gripping me as I approached cautiously. With trembling hands, I pressed my ear against the cold stone, listening intently.


    And then, just as suddenly as it had begun, the tapping ceased, leaving behind an eerie silence that seemed to suffocate the room. I withdrew, my mind racing with questions and doubts. What could be lurking behind those walls? And why did it send such a shiver down my spine?? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    But one thing was certain ¨C whatever secretsy hidden within the pce walls, they were about to be unveiled, and I couldn¡¯t shake the feeling that my life would never be the same again.


    I turned around to leave and ask for Alpha Tyrion to check it up but the tapping continued again. I touched the wall and followed it until a huge painting came in my sight. As I touched it, the block in the wall shifted giving a passage to walk in.


    It was illuminated with candles and I was taken aback by the secret route. I heard the sounds of guardsing into the room and without knowing what to do, I ran inside the path as the block closed behind me.

 Echoes in the darkness

    Celine¡¯s POV :


    As I pressed myself against the cold, damp wall, the muffled sounds of footsteps and voices echoed in the distance. Panic coursed through my veins, urging me to find a hiding ce, to escape the prying eyes of the guards who will take me to Calle foring here.


    And so, in a moment of desperation, I had stumbled further more upon this hidden tunnel, a secret passage concealed behind the old walls of the ancient pack house.


    It was just my random luck that I had found this secret passage because in no way anyone would have ever considered this wild thought by looking at the wall.


    ¡®The sound wasing from here. But i can¡¯t hear it now. ¡® Belinay said, reminding me of the reason why we had been here in the first ce.


    I was scared for a brief moment because the closed walls give me the feeling that I was going to be suffocated here and would never be found.


    But as I stood here, engulfed in darkness, a flicker of curiosity ignited within me. The tunnel stretched out before me, its length shrouded in mystery. My heart pounded in my chest, and though fear grew at my resolve, a determination to discover the truth made me to go forward.


    Carefully, I took a step into the unknown, my footsteps hushed by the damp earth beneath my feet. The musty smell of decay hung in the air, mixing with the scent of dampness and age. The tunnel beckoned me, its secrets whispering in the shadows, and I could not resist the pull that drew me deeper into its euphoric embrace.


    ¡®There¡¯s something so calm about this ce. ¡® I said.N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    ¡®Usually, the dangerous ces stay calm before they attack you. So, be careful and don¡¯t let your focus go anywhere other than the path. ¡®


    She was right about it because as I look to back I couldn¡¯t even see the path from where I hade from.


    With each step, the darkness closed in around me, suffocating and yet strangelyforting. The sound that had lured me to this hidden passage had vanished, leaving only the echoes of my own footsteps aspanions in this isted journey. But I pressed on, my determination unwavering, fueled by a need to understand, to uncover the source of that elusive sound.


    The tunnel seemed to stretch on endlessly, its walls etched with the passage of time. Cobwebs clung to my hair and clothes, as if warning me of the forgotten secrets thaty in wait. I shivered, both from the chill in the air and the unease that gripped my soul, but I refused to turn back. I hade too far to abandon my quest now.


    The silence weighed heavily upon me, broken only by the sound of my breath and the steady beat of my heart. Doubt crept into my mind, threatening to unravel my resolve, but I banished it with a fierce determination.


    And then, like a distant melody carried on the wind, I heard it-a faint, haunting sound that beckoned me further.


    Tap tap. The sound continued¡­


    It was a whisper of hope, an invitation to uncover the truth thaty hidden in the depths of this forgotten passage. With renewed vigor, I quickened my pace, my feet moving almost of their own ord.


    ¡®It¡¯s there! ¡® I said, loudly but then bit my lip nervously.


    The tunnel twisted and turned, its secrets unraveling with each step. The sound grew louder, more distinct, guiding me through the darkness. Its origin remained unknown, yet it held a promise, a glimmer of something significant. It was a siren¡¯s call, and I was its captive, drawn deeper into the heart of the mystery.


    As I rounded a final bend, the tunnel opened up before me, revealing a hidden chamber bathed in an ethereal glow.


    Even in that chamber there was another door which I had to kick open. As the door swung open with an eerie creak, I hesitated for a moment, my eyes fixated on the chamber thaty beyond. The flickeringmp on the wall sent tremors of anticipation through me, also giving me proof that someone had been there before me and he or she was visiting this ce almost regrly.


    I looked around and my eyes focused on something which made my blood turn cold.


    A scream escaped my lips, echoing through the empty dungeon. Before me, chained to the wall, stood a skeleton of a woman, her bones intertwined with rusted, unforgiving iron. She wore tattered pieces of royal attire, an expensive silky gown which look like it was changed just yesterday.


    My heart thudded in my chest, with horror and sorrow overwhelming my senses. Who was this woman, forced to such a fate? What had brought her to this forsaken ce, where her spirit lingered even in death?


    The sound still came from the Dark Shadows of the room and I realized it was a bird trapped inside the empty box which had been making so much noise. But I was sure that someone had Run through the corridor and attracted me here.


    And it wasn¡¯t the bird which made that particr tapping sound. I looked out of the room and saw an iron gate locked which led to the exit of this tunnel. Soon it became difficult for me to breathe, I wanted to get out of this ce but as I try to open the door which led me here I couldn¡¯t open it.


    I heard the sounds of someone running across the tunnel and banged on the door.


    ¡°Open it! Whoever you are, get me out of here! ¡± I screamed at the top of my lungs.


    But to my horror no one came to open the door. I tried to kick open the iron gate but it was too strong to be broken away by me.


    ¡®I think it¡¯s Calle again! But if this time hees near us, I will kill him. ¡® Belinay growled.


    Was the woman lured in the same way too? Just like us?

 Desperate Hunt

    Alpha Tyrion¡¯s POV :


    ¡®She had promised to not go anywhere without telling me. ¡® I told Sabre who was growing restless with each passing moment.


    ¡®Are you sure no one forced her to go anywhere with him? ¡® He growled.


    My fists clenched angrily and I snarled knowing who was behind all this. As the mated bond was marked between us, it was my responsibility to protect my mate, Celine, from any harm that may befall her. But now, as I searched frantically through the pack¡¯s territory, my suspicions weighed heavily on my mind.


    Lycan Calle, he would be doing everything in his power to create distance between us. And he was back in the pack after going missing for more than two days. I should have known he would do something to her.


    I knew he was capable of doing something to harm her. Every fiber of my being yearned to find her, to ensure her safety.


    I made my way to his meeting hall because he had been trying to build protections around the kingdom for not letting anyone cross into the borders. But it was not just the protection reasons but he had been making walls to make us a prisoner here. Something which I would never let happen.


    I looked for him in the meeting hall but he wasn¡¯t there. I walked to the training center which was quite empty. And there he was, Lycan Calle, lurking in the shadows, his presence a dark cloud over my mind.


    Without a moment¡¯s hesitation, I confronted him violently, my teeth bared and muscles tense. ¡°Where is she?¡± I growled, my voiceced with a primal fury. ¡°What have you done to Celine?¡±


    Lycan Calle¡¯s eyes widened in surprise, his expression reflecting genuine confusion. ¡°I haven¡¯t seen Celine,¡± he protested, his voice filled with frustration. ¡°I¡¯ve been searching for her too. I swear, Tyrion.¡±


    Fu*ing liar! How could he not know about Celine when he always had his eyes on her?!


    ¡°Don¡¯t lie to me! I haven¡¯t seen her sincest night! Where did you take her? ¡±


    He shook his head, ¡± What? Celine hasn¡¯t been in her chamber sincest night! Who could harm her? ¡±


    He was as shocked as me but there was nothing in my instinct which told me to trust this ash*le. Yet, he looked into my eyes without hesitation and I couldn¡¯t catch the scent of lies or fear.


    ¡°There¡¯s no one who wants to harm her other than you! ¡± I shouted.


    ¡°I am not wasting my time with you here. I am going to find her. She needs me¡­ ¡± He said, looking at me.


    My grip tightened around his throat as anger flew through me. ¡°If anything happens to her, I will burn your whole kingdom to the ground,¡± I snarled, my words dripping with a deadly promise. ¡°Stay away from my mate.¡±


    Releasing my hold on Calle, I turned away, my mind racing. Celine couldn¡¯t have simply vanished. I scoured every corner of the pack¡¯s territory, questioning the maids and any pack members I crossed paths with. But they all shook their heads, clueless about Celine¡¯s whereabouts.


    ¡°Where the fu*k were you? Huh? I have told you to keep an eye on her! ¡±


    I heard Calle scolding a maid who was trembling with fear. I wanted to punch him on his stupid mouth but there was the more important thing which was to find Celine. I would talk to himter about the way he had crossed boundaries with my mate.


    ¡®Ask the Queen. She¡¯s her aunt, she must know if she¡¯s gone somewhere. ¡®


    Frustration bubbled within me as I approached Queen Emerald, Celine¡¯s aunt, ¡°Have you seen Celine?¡± I demanded, my voice filled with worry.


    The queen¡¯s face mirrored my concern. ¡°I haven¡¯t seen her either, Tyrion,¡± she replied with genuine worry reflecting on her features. ¡°I¡¯ve been looking for her everywhere. Perhaps she left to search for her mother.¡±


    My heart sank. I had explicitly told Celine to never go out alone, to always stay by my side. She knew the dangers that lurked beyond and in the territory, and her safety was my utmost priority. This sudden disappearance defied all reason, leaving me grasping at straws.


    Filled with a mix of desperation and anger, I shifted into my wolf form, my fur bristling with anticipation. My senses sharpened, and I sprinted through the dense undergrowth, searching every nook and cranny of our territory. But try as I might, there was no sign of her, no trace of her scent lingering in the air.


    ¡®I can¡¯t catch her scent! She is nowhere around us.¡¯ Sabre said, as we aimlessly wandered into the woods.


    ¡®I am going to announce a war against Calle. ¡®


    Returning to the pack, frustration and fear swirled within me. I growled at anyone who dared to approach, my eyes scanning the crowd for any sign of Celine. Lycan Calle himself appeared worried, genuine concern etched into his features. It seemed that he was speaking the truth about not knowing Celine¡¯s whereabouts.


    ¡°I swear! If I can¡¯t find her by this evening, I am going to behead you! ¡± I roared.


    Calle ran his hand through his hair as he took a deep breath. The Queen was angry at him too and Maya walked closer to me.


    ¡°He didn¡¯t do anything this time. And maybe your girlfriend has something to do with her disappearance. ¡± She said, rolling her eyes.N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    I turned out to leave and found Ava was looking at me, ¡± No, I didn¡¯t do it. I was with Kristian. ¡±


    Frustration and anger was getting to my head because ugly haunting scenarios came to my mind. Did she really leave to search for her mother? Without me?


    ¡°She was worried about her mother. I think she must have gone to find the clues. ¡± Queen said again, touching my arm.


    ¡°But¡­ ¡±


    And then, like a lighting from the shadows, Celine appeared. Dirt and blood stuck her beautiful face, shock and relief cast on the faces of all people. I rushed to her side, my worry transforming into overwhelming relief.


    ¡°Celine, what happened?¡± I asked, my voice filled with concern.


    But her eyes were as fierce as fire. It was as if something had shifted into her. She didn¡¯t look scared or hurt. But confident and looking like a warrior.


    ¡°Everything is fine now. Everything¡­ ¡± She said.

 Unleashed Fury

    Celine¡¯s POV :


    Anger ran through my veins like molten fire as I stormed towards Lycan Calle, my steps fueled by a burning rage. The disbelief and shock on the faces of the queen and the pack members did not deter me. I needed answers, and I needed them now.


    Without hesitation, I raised my hand and delivered a resounding p across Calle¡¯s face. The sound echoed through the air, a sharp crack that clearly gave the reflection of my fury. His head jerked to the side, and silence settled like a heavy nket upon the onlookers.


    Alpha Tyrion stood beside me, his presence radiating anger and strength. His low, menacing growl filled the space, a warning to anyone who dared to interfere. I could feel his true support, his primal instincts aligning with my own.


    I grabbed Lycan Calle by the cor of his shirt, my grip tight and unyielding. My voice, filled with abination of pain and seething rage, erupted from within me.


    ¡°Why did you kill my mother? Why?¡± I screamed, my teeth clenching in anger.


    The air seemed to still, the world holding its breath as my usation hung in the air. All eyes were fixed upon Calle, frozen in ce by the weight of my usation.


    Calle¡¯s face turned pale, his worry etched deeply into his features. He stared into my eyes, his voice trembling with a mix of fear and confusion.


    ¡°Celine, I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re talking about,¡± he stammered, his words filled with genuine disbelief. ¡°I never saw your mother after she left our pack. I could never harm her. No one could.¡±


    His words pierced through the haze of anger and usation that had clouded my mind. I released my grip on his shirt, taking a step back as the weight of his words sank in.


    Confusion and sorrow swirled within me, mingling with the anger. Calle could never be trusted with his words or actions. Even now, he could be lying. But something in his eyes said that he was utterly shocked by my usation.


    My voice wavered slightly as I asked, ¡°You¡¯re telling me that you never saw her again? That she simply disappeared after leaving our pack?¡±


    Calle nodded, his eyes filled with a mixture of sadness and regret. ¡°Yes, Celine,¡± he affirmed, his voice filled with sincerity. ¡°Your mother was special. We all knew it. She had a spirit that couldn¡¯t be tamed. But I promise you, I had no part in her disappearance. I wasn¡¯t any equal to her in powers even with my Lycan blood. She was moon kissed, the Queen. ¡±


    A heavy silence settled upon us, If he was telling the truth, then who was responsible for my mother¡¯s fate? Was there a hidden enemy lurking within our pack or beyond its boundaries?


    Alpha Tyrion, ever vigntly by my side, let out a deep, rumbling growl, his eyes fixed on Calle. The tension in the room was rough as the pack members observed the exchange, their gazes shifting between us.


    ¡°Her mother? Who¡¯s she? How can she p the Lycan? ¡± I heard the pack members murmuring to each other.


    one of them added, ¡± Is she the daughter of Thete Queen who was lost after her birth? ¡±


    I wanted to ignore everything which was going around me because my main focus was to catch any type of emotion in Calle¡¯s eyes if he was lying to me.


    Time seemed to stand still as I took a deep breath, attempting to steady the storm of emotions raging within me. The truth was elusive, concealed within the shadows of uncertainty. We needed answers, and we needed them swiftly.


    Turning to the queen, I implored her, ¡°We must uncover the truth, Aunt. We cannot rest until we know what happened to my mother. Please, help us find the answers.¡±


    My aunt nodded solemnly, her expression filled with determination. ¡°Celine, you have my word,¡± she said, her voice filled with conviction. ¡°We will leave no stone unturned until we uncover the truth behind your mother¡¯s disappearance. Justice will prevail.¡±


    My anger surged once again, fueled by the uncertainty that enveloped me. I took a step forward, my voice quivering with a mix of frustration and desperation. ¡°You¡¯re lying! I can¡¯t trust you!¡± I screamed at Lycan Calle, my usation echoing through the air.


    Alpha Tyrion swiftly stepped between us, his gaze shifting from me to Calle, his voice firm yet tinged with concern. ¡°Celine, calm down,¡± he urged, his alpha presencemanding attention. ¡°We need to understand what happened. Where were you?¡±


    My breath caught in my throat as I locked eyes with my mate, my voiceden with raw emotion. ¡°I was trapped, Alpha Tyrion,¡± I whispered, tears welling in my eyes. ¡°In a secret dungeon, hidden away from the world. I felt like I would nevere out, like I was lost forever.¡±


    ¡°A secret dungeon? ¡± He asked again.


    Confusion and disbelief clouded the faces of the pack members, including Lycan Calle, who shook his head in denial. ¡°I don¡¯t know anything about a dungeon,¡± he protested, his tone filled with innocence. ¡°I only wanted to safeguard my special hypnotic herbs in that room. I have no idea about any secret door or dungeon.¡±


    My gaze hardened, I was not sure if he was still lying or was just so good at acting that even my wolf couldn¡¯t catch any lies.


    ¡°If you didn¡¯t know about the dungeon, then how did you manage to escape?¡± Aunt Emerald inquired, her eyes piercing into Lycan Calle¡¯s.


    My voice shook as I wiped away my tears, my words choked with emotion. ¡°My mom¡¯s body helped me,¡± I confessed, my voice barely above a whisper. ¡°Her spirit guided me through the darkness, showing me the way out. It was as if she was still protecting me, even in death.¡±


    A hushed gasp rippled through the pack members as my revtion settled upon the pack. I felt her holding my hands and I hugged her tightly.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    I rememberd that when I was trapped inside those walls how I had finally found a dead body and the key was attached to the ne on which it was written that it belonged to the queen. The key had worked in opening the room from inside which had led me through The Secret passage outside the pack.


    What I didn¡¯t tell everyone was that I had already talked to Zayra, the lioness, and she had helped me to navigate around the words with an ease. I was also very sure that the door of the Dungeon was definitely used by someone from the pack to connect with down outside shifter world without anyone knowing.


    ¡°But how are you so sure it was your mother? ¡± My aunt asked again.


    ¡°I just knew¡­ ¡±


    Alpha Tyrion grabbed my hand and helped me to use his chest as support while I talked to her. I caught Ava who was watching me with her mouth open and a flicker of fear passed through her features.


    ¡°Who¡¯s she, Lycan king? ¡± Ava asked, pointing at me.


    The Queen took a sharp breath and looked at everyone, ¡± Everyone, please bow down to the one and only heiress of the Kingdom Zephyr. The princess and the Hybrid Queen, Luna Celine. ¡±


    And everyone bowed their heads, including Ava and Alpha Kristian. My wolf jumped with excitement at the recognition and she growled with dominance inside my chest.


    ¡°Will she be crowned tomorrow then? ¡± The elders asked. ¡± The Hybrid Blood doesn¡¯t need to pass any test. ¡±


    My face burned with all the blood which was gushing to me, ¡± I think we should wait. ¡±


    Lycan calle walked further and intentionally stood between me and Alpha Tyrion.


    ¡°She needs to get rid of that Mark and mate bond. Because the marking between me and her will make her the Queen. Otherwise, I want to challenge Celine for the throne with a war. ¡± He stared at me with a wide grin.

 Calle is gone

    Celine¡¯s POV :


    I wanted to p him again but the queen stopped me as she red angrily at him. But as a shameless monster he was, Calle didn¡¯t hide his excitement. The elders of the pack stood in unison and one of them cleared his throat.


    ¡°That can be decidedter but we don¡¯t think a war is what we need. First of all, we need to clear some misunderstanding to the pack so please corporate with us. ¡± He said.


    ¡°Yes, I want the best for everyone. ¡± I answered.


    The elder stood in the centre of the pack members as they all surrounded him curiously. They had been whispering to each other trying to make sense of everything because it was two difficult for them to understand that I was the daughter of theirte queen.


    ¡°As we all know now, Luna Celine, the mate of Alpha Tyrion, is the princess of the pack. I want to go back in the past and start from where all this is rted. She was lost when she was a child after she was born in the woods because the King and Queen threw her mother out to have rtionship with another male who was not a wolf. I feel so helpless and ashamed to say that a special and powerful women like her mother never got the respect which she deserved because she decided to love who she wanted to. ¡±


    The elder looked at me and I gave him a nod to continue, ¡± I am sure my mother was or is very special and she deserves all the peace and love of this world. ¡±N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    ¡°Lycan Calle then marked Queen Emerald because the royal members mysteriously vanished including the only brother who was supposed to take over the Throne. Since then, the king and the queen have been searching for her because ording to the Prophecy only she can bring the power which the kingdom of the Zephyr held over others. The fate yed even a worse role when they couldn¡¯t have any child of their own which made the annual challenge to the Throne to ur again after 100 years. ¡± He stopped and asked me to join him, ¡± But today, we found our princess and the rightful heiress¡­ ¡±


    The pack erupted into cheers and the members jumped with excitement. I could feel my legs shaking because of the nervousness I was feeling just by looking at the crowd.


    ¡°But there¡¯s a problem now¡­ ¡± The elder said seriously, ¡± As you all have heard, the Lycan Calle wants Celine as his mate. But she already has a mate and wasn¡¯t her mother supposed to be Calle¡¯s mate too. Isn¡¯t it too absurd? ¡±


    I couldn¡¯t control the smile which was about to turn into a loud chuckle joined by pack members. Even the elder found this creepy and morally wrong. I looked at Alpha Tyrion and he hinted to me to say the truth now.


    ¡°Lycan Calle tried to kill the Queen in the fire. He trapped me in the abandoned chambers and tried to force himself on me. He had been threatening and trying to hurt me since the day i stepped my foot inside the kingdom. ¡± The pack members watched in shock and i knew I had to continue, ¡± I believe he was the one who killed my mother. He made my uncle to live hiding in the woods. He made my aunt to have no voice of her own. She lives in constant fear¡­ ¡±


    Alpha Tyrion held my arm and gave mefort by holding me in his tight embrace. My hands were shaking as the anger slowly began to fade and the reality hit me on my nerves.


    Calle was offended to say the least, he let out a blood curling growl and his fangs visible and ready to kill me.


    ¡°Everything is a lie! I didn¡¯t kill your mother! I wanted her for her powers. We never had a rtionship. It¡¯s not a new thing to have a mate who might be rted to some women of your past. Heck, every Alpha sleeps with the women of his pack. But your mother and I never touched each other. I didn¡¯t push your uncle out of the pack! ¡±


    He was literally on my face, screaming and the traces of saliva slipping off his tongue to my face. I was ready to fight him and so was Alpha Tyrion.


    ¡°And about your aunt, Emerald. I didn¡¯t want to mark¡­ ¡±


    The Queen pierced the silver in his blood and he lost his bnce. His movements seized and the yellow in his iris faded away.


    ¡°Calle, you have feel torturing me and my people for years now and I don¡¯t want that to happen again. I want you to get out of my pack and nevere back. ¡± Aunt Emerald growled angrily at him.


    Alpha Tyrion intervened, ¡± No, we shouldn¡¯t let him go because people like him try toe back all the time. ¡±


    ¡°He will nevere back because if he does his half sister Maya would be gone. He loves her more than anyone else. Don¡¯t you, Calle? ¡± She asked, grabbing his chin.


    ¡°Don¡¯t hurt her¡­ ¡± He said in pain.


    Half sister? I looked at Maya who was watching Calle with tears as the soldiers took her away.


    ¡°But Aunt, we should not take a risk. ¡±


    She smiled at me, pain reflecting on her features, ¡± I want the elders to allow me so that I can cast the restraining spell on him and throw him in the dungeon in the woods. ¡±


    That sounded better than to just letting him go. But I could see my aunt¡¯s eyes holding the tears when she put the cast and Calle groaned in pain. The guards put him in chains and he was taken outside the pack.


    When everything seemed to calm down, I touched my aunt¡¯s hand and she gave it a squeeze.


    ¡°Shall we crown Princess Celine tomorrow? ¡± The elders asked.


    I was nervous and wanted to find about my mother and uncle first.


    ¡°Please give me 10 days. I want to find about something. And in the meantime, Queen Emerald is taking care of the pack. ¡±


    The elders seemed to not like my decision but they didn¡¯t have any choice and had to agree. But Aunt wasn¡¯t happy either.


    ¡°Alpha Tyrion, we need to discuss about the arrangements. ¡± The elders said to him.


    He gave me a kiss and walked with them. My aunt held my hand and took me to her chamber.


    ¡°Why did you postpone it to 10 days? You know everyone wants you to take the throne immediately. ¡± She said.


    ¡°Mom and uncle¡­ ¡±


    She sighed, ¡± Celine, don¡¯t get into that. It¡¯s past now. If my brother wants toe here, he will since you will be joining the pack. You have a mate, a pack, the powers and start a family. Don¡¯t waste your youth like that. Finding love is difficult and you shouldn¡¯t ignore him. ¡±


    I could see the same sadness in her eyes, ¡± Do you feel sad about Calle? ¡±


    She was shocked and looked the other way, ¡± Why would I? He conspired against my family and ruined our lives. ¡±


    ¡°But he was your chosen mate. I know bonds work harshly. ¡±


    She sat down on the edge of the bed, not looking at me. Her shoulders slumped down.


    ¡°When I was young, all I wanted was a love story. A mate who will love me to death. We would have had so many pups. We would always be together. Laughing, enjoying and running our pack. But I got Calle¡­ I tried to change him for 12 years. He didn¡¯t want to do anything with me. I thought there has to be a reason as to why he killed my family. Maybe he was wronged by my father or anyone. But he was just pure evil. I hate myself now. ¡±


    I hugged her and she cried into my neck, ¡± You were young and had dreams. But you threw him out today, aunt. You have matured now. ¡±


    ¡°All because of you, Celine. You are my daughter who I never had¡­ ¡°

 Aunt is acting weird

    Celine¡¯s POV :


    ¡°I am your daughter and you¡¯re my mother. You have suffered enough now. ¡± I said, hugging her back.


    Aunt nted a kiss on my forehead, ¡± You shouldn¡¯t wait any longer. I want to see you as the crowned Queen of the kingdom. ¡±


    I took a deep breath, shaking my head at her emotional request again. I could not exin to her or to anyone what I felt inside knowing that I still could not find about my mother and uncle. Wearing and epting the throne would only make me more depressed.


    ¡± I want to know about them. At least a little information¡­ ¡±


    Aunt closed her eyes and covered her face with palms. I could see her beginning to get a little angry at me now. She must be frustrated by my constant wish to go deep down the secrets which were held from me.


    ¡°Celine,¡­ ¡±


    I interrupted, ¡± At least let me know about the skeleton in the dungeon. It looked like that it had been there for ages and it also had a huge red ring. I have already sent the ring to the Royal elders so that they can verify about the details of the dead person. ¡±


    Moments passed before she spoke again because the shock of something got to her. She looked not only angry but confused now.


    ¡± Why are you getting yourself in this mess? Did you ask me before dragging the elders into this too? ¡±


    Her voice was raised, almost screaming at me and I felt lost as to why would something so small anger her to this extent?


    ¡°Please calm down, Aunt Emerald. ¡± I touched her arms.N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    ¡°No! I have been trying to protect you so that you don¡¯t follow the same leads as your mother but you have been betraying me by not telling me the full truth all the time. ¡±


    I shook my head, ¡± I will never betray you. I am extremely sorry because I did not know that you will be so hurt. ¡±


    The cold breeze made it¡¯s way into the chamber and I felt the hair on my skin had raised from the cold. And also from the way my aunt was looking at me now. But then the yellow and red in her eyes changed and she let out a muffled cry.


    ¡°Oh, Celine¡­ I am sorry. I just want to protect you. I don¡¯t trust anyone in this pack. Not even the elders. They never helped us when we needed them most. ¡±


    I tried to calm her down because she had begun to hyperventte and her hands had turned cold.


    ¡°No one is going to hurt me Or you. It¡¯s over now. The pain has ended. You need to forget about the bad times, Aunt. ¡±


    I helped her to settle down on the bed and gave her a ss of water. She gulped down the water in one long sip and her breathing had turned normal again. She could finally act normal without having an anxiety attack.


    ¡°I want you to tell me everything from now on. Everything. Is there something you haven¡¯t told me yet? Please don¡¯t do the same mistakes like your mother. ¡±


    I touched her hands, with a assuring squeeze, I kissed the back of her hand.


    ¡°Nothing. I haven¡¯t kept any secrets from you. But where¡¯s katie? The kitten¡­ She¡¯s a hybrid. I haven¡¯t seen her for so long now. ¡±


    I said it aloud, telling her and making myself aware of the sudden absence of Katie too. I knew that she was a wild spirit and she didn¡¯t want to be included in the Pack house. But I had to bring her back and give her a safe ce, something which she deserved.


    ¡°What are you talking about? A kitten? ¡± She asked.


    ¡°Yes, aunt. She was in the pack house in Alpha Tyrion¡¯s old Luna chambers. She had somehow followed me here too. She¡¯s young. Around 16-17.¡±


    ¡°But then why¡¯s she a kitten? ¡± Aunt asked again.


    ¡°That¡¯s the side effect of the hybrid blood on her. She had been living her life in the ruins¡­. ¡±


    ¡°Enough of that. You don¡¯t need to focus on these trivial matters. As the Queen, you need to choose people whom you trust and the ones who hold authority. The hybrids or the orphans should not be your concern. ¡±


    I clenched my jaw but decided to say nothing to her because the she was thinking diplomatically where as I had my emotional connection with the girl. I knew she wasn¡¯t this young given I was 18 and a half years old myself. But something about her innocence made me feel that she was a kid.


    ¡± I will keep that in mind. ¡± I said.


    ¡°Alright. I need to make lots of arrangement and also bring back the orders which my father had dictated for the pack. You should get some rest. ¡±


    I saw her walking out and as soon as the door closed behind her, I exhaled the longest breath I could ever hold.


    ¡®That was strange. I mean I feel something has changed inside her and she has been giving me not so good Vibes. ¡® Belinay grunted.


    ¡® It must be because of Calle. Don¡¯t you think that this big decision might have taken lots of courage from her? ¡®


    ¡®And that¡¯s it? Is it the end? If it was so easy then why didn¡¯t she already put him back to his ce.¡¯


    ¡®She told me that she was waiting for me. ¡®


    ¡®Would you live with a man who had killed your father, mother, sister and wants to take your niece as his mate? Then why did she live with for so long? She even imed that she loved him¡­ When did she love him? After he had murdered the Royal members? What¡¯s she hiding? How could she control him so easily and throw him into the dungeon when he¡¯s the Lycan? ¡®


    Belinay had caused the wave of questions to erupt inside my head. And everything she said was right. There was supposed to be some doubt given the way Aunt had been reacting after Calle was thrown into the dungeon.


    A knock on the door grabbed my attention and I quickly walked to open it.


    ¡°I hope we didn¡¯t disturb you¡­ ¡® The elder said.


    ¡®No, of course not. I have been waiting for you. ¡®


    There was a slight frown on their foreheads as they looked at each other.


    ¡± This ring belonged to your Grandmother. She died after being left there for days to starve. ¡±


    My hands curled up into fists and I wanted to throw up because the pain the was almost unbearable now. My Grandmother? She died such a painful death.


    ¡°Can I get the ring? ¡±


    They gave me the ring back and I touched it with my thumb as I ced a kiss on it.


    ¡°Is Calle secured inside the dungeon in the woods? ¡± I asked.


    ¡°We hope so. But the thing is we don¡¯t know about the dungeon and it¡¯s not even mentioned in the pack house¡¯s map. Maybe it was builtter by Queen Emerald. ¡±


    Belinay growled with frustration inside my chest. I could understand her frustration. Why was everything so confusing?


    ¡°Thank you for your help. I will go and check the ce along with Alpha Tyrion. ¡±


    They smiled and nodded their heads, ¡± We just want to warn you that there are more traps ahead. But we know that you will win over everyone. You¡¯re the Queen of Lunas. ¡°

 Ava’s Fate

    Celine¡¯s POV :


    Alpha Tyrion wasing my way as I mind-linked with him. In all this mess, he looked so tired and a little frustrated. The anger in my head calmed down as I saw him.


    ¡°Just arranged the guards on the borders. What do you want to discuss, love? ¡± He asked, his hands running down my back.


    I melted into his soft touch, ¡± Nothing. I just wanted to see you. ¡±


    I lied because if I had told him about the dungeon he would be leaving for the woods and inspect the ce himself. But right now, he needed rest and sleep. After I had gone missing and got trapped in the hidden room, he had been worried about me without thinking of his own health.


    ¡°Is that all? Why do I feel like that you are hiding something from me again? ¡± He asked, running his hand in my hair.


    I sighed, ¡± I am definitely not hiding anything from you ever again but right now I don¡¯t want to discuss it. Both of us need some good rest and I have missed you so much. ¡±


    I wrapped my hands around him in a tight embrace and he pulled me closer towards his chest so that now I could hear his heart beat.


    ¡°You are the only person I have ever loved after my parents. So, don¡¯t you ever think I will not take your concerns seriously. ¡±


    My wolf gave a submissive low growl. Our time of affection together was hindered by some worried screams of a few people. I immediately shot my attention at the direction of the crowd and saw Ava lying in Alpha Kristian¡¯s arms. Her fists were clenched and her eyes had rolled in the deep of the sockets.


    Alpha Tyrion held my arm as I was to leave and check up on her, ¡± I don¡¯t believe her. She just wants attention. ¡±Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    I knew that he was right and this woman had always tried to bring me down but as the Luna of this pack now, I had to do the needful.


    ¡°I just want to know what the matter is. ¡± I assured him and he kept standing at his ce, not even bothered by the maids running around Ava.


    As I approached them, Alpha Kristian bowed his head which was a surprise to me. Just a few days ago, he would treat me as if I was a untouchable foreign species.


    ¡°What happened to her? Is everything alright? ¡± I asked, looking down at Ava who was still unconscious.


    Alpha Kristian shook his head, ¡± Luna Queen, we just had a light snack and when I came back into the room, she was throwing up and breathing heavily. I was taking her to the pack doctor but then she fell here on the ground. ¡±


    I sat down and touched her forehead. The temperature seemed normal and even her Heartbeat was perfectly fine which could only mean that she was pretending again. Just as I had thought, her eyes snapped open and she looked around frantically.


    ¡°Ty! Where are you? ¡± She cried out desperately.


    Alpha Tyrion clenched his fists and made a safe distance between them both.


    ¡°Stay away. ¡± He said in a dangerously cold voice.


    Ava let out a shrill cry, ¡± Really? After sleeping with me, promising me to mark, getting me pregnant to ignoring my whole existence! That¡¯s who you are! You knew about her special powers. You marked her because you¡­ you knew she was the Royal blood. ¡±


    Her screams gathered a huge crowd and all the pack members murmured to themselves about her allegations. I wanted to intervene but then Alpha Tyrion took long angry steps towards her.


    ¡°That¡¯s not my child first of all. ¡±


    Silence fell over the pack and Alpha Kristian stood away from Ava. His mouth was set into a straight line and his eyes showed nothing except the nk stare focused on the back of Ava¡¯s head.


    ¡°What are you even saying? This is our child! ¡±


    Alpha Tyrion growled, ¡± This is kain¡¯s child. You slept with him. Right? ¡±


    Her eyes popped out because of the sudden revtion, ¡± What??? I don¡¯t know anything about Kain. You are just using me out of the blue. I¡­ am the mother of your child. ¡±


    It was time for me to intervene because this woman was so delusional that she thought her fake tears and desperate look might make anyone trust her. She needed a reality check after all the insults and troubles she put over me.


    ¡°Ava, we know about your past. This is not Alpha Tyrion¡¯s pup. Stop making a joke out if you. The pack is watching and your stuff is packed up to leave now. ¡± I kept my voice low, ¡± Have some respect for Alpha Kristian and leave to your new pack. ¡±


    This definitely struck a nerve and she went instantly cold. Her eyes now filled with tears and aggression red at me.


    ¡°I am never leaving, Tyrion. I don¡¯t even want this Kristian! ¡± She shouted.


    ¡°You cheated on me, Ava. You lied about the pregnancy. You are heartless. This is Kain¡¯s pup. He may ept you but I can¡¯t. ¡±


    Alpha Tyrion walked off to the other side where Alpha Kristian was standing.


    ¡°This is not Kain¡¯s child! For God¡¯s sake! ¡± She cried.


    ¡°Then whose child is this, Ava? Or you don¡¯t even know who is the father? ¡± I asked bitterly.


    She clenched her jaw, ¡± I know the father is Gamma Thom! ¡±


    Gasps! No one spoke a word. The sound of birds chirping and distant voice of soldiers doing their routinely drill was the only sort of distraction in the eerie calm moment.


    Gamma Thom was her pack¡¯s third in charge and was two years younger than her father. As a twenty- seven year old unmated wolf, she could just not just slept with a much older man.


    ¡°That¡¯s disgusting! ¡± Alpha Kristian spoke for the first time during the heated up situation, ¡± How could you sleep with him? I know he doesn¡¯t have a mate but that doesn¡¯t make him avable for you! ¡±


    He was angry. Really angry. It was insulting as an Alpha to take a pregnant she wolf and then her past was so dark that it could never change how she was going to act up in future too.


    ¡°That¡¯s so shameless. ¡±


    ¡°She really is a who*e! ¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s why she doesn¡¯t have a fated mate. ¡±


    Ava heard all the low whispers against her and with her eyes turning red she stood up.


    ¡°Gamma Thom is my fated mate. I knew about it since I turned eighteen. But my father Alpha Jonathan made me to lie and get me mated to Tyrion. I love Tyrion. But the scent of my fated mate didn¡¯t let me think properly and on my 27th birthday we mated¡­ ¡±


    Alpha Tyrion had enough and he began to walk off in the chambers. But Ava ran behind him.


    ¡°Ty, I promise I love you. I am sorry I messed it up. We are made for each other. ¡±


    ¡°Ava! Enough. I don¡¯t want to hurt a woman. Don¡¯t make me break my oath. ¡± He was dead serious and Ava knew about it too.


    She just stood there until Alpha Tyrion was out of sight. Then, with no hope she turned to Alpha Kristian.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go. ¡± She said.


    ¡°I am leaving for my pack. You can ask your father to take you back. ¡± He announced, ¡± I, Alpha Kristian, break off the arranged mate bond with Ava, a cheater. ¡±


    Her eyes widened, ¡± You are not serious about it. You can¡¯t afford this luxury without my father. ¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t want luxury. I want true love. You are just a pest. Good for nothing. ¡±


    He left with his men as they carried his luggage. I took a deep breath and decided to leave her alone too. She didn¡¯t need to pull this stunt even now, but she had to ruin everything for herself.


    ¡°You must be happy now, bit*h! That¡¯s what you wanted! ¡± She screamed at the top of her lungs.


    I kept ignoring her and walked to the pack members who were still in shock.


    ¡°I am just waiting for my father¡¯s message. Once I leave to my pack, I will tell everyone how you are a man snatcher! ¡±


    I ran my hand in the soft curls of a little pup, ¡± When will you start the training, little one? ¡±


    ¡°In two years. ¡± She answered.


    A man on a horse stopped by Ava, he was the Beta of her father¡¯s pack.


    ¡°Where is my car? ¡± She asked, rudely.


    He hesitated, ¡± Alpha Jonathan has disowned you for not keeping up with the pack¡¯s respect. You are not wee in his pack anymore. ¡±


    She fell to her knees, looking at the Beta with desperation, ¡± He can¡¯t do this! I am his only daughter. ¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s what he has decided, Ava. I hope you find a safe ce somewhere soon. ¡±


    The Beta was on his way back when Ava cried to him. To not leave her here without any support but he was gone.


    ¡°I¡­ I don¡¯t want to¡­ ¡± She murmured something.


    I turned my head away and patted the pup again. That¡¯s when I heard a loud ssh.


    ¡°She jumped into the well! ¡± An old woman screamed.

 Stranger mind link

    Celine¡¯s POV :


    It took my brain a few seconds to register the statement and then the reality hit me. The crowd had gathered around the well and I could hear Ava¡¯s sounds of crying for help.


    Before I could go and save her, I saw Alpha Jonathan himself standing at the boundary of the well and he jumped in to help her out.


    ¡°Dad¡­ ¡± She said, in a half conscious state.


    ¡°Why did you think I will just let you die? You could have once talk to me. Even after all the mistakes you did, I have always forgiven you. Haven¡¯t I? ¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t know how I could survive without your support. I felt like being lost in the darkness. ¡± She cried again.


    Alpha Jonathan hugged her more, ¡± Let¡¯s go to the pack. I will take care of you. I don¡¯t want to lose my daughter because of silly people and their stupid lives. ¡±


    As I stood there, my gaze fixed upon the retreating figures of Ava and her father, Alpha Jonathan, a wave of anger passed through me. They were the sole reason for everyone¡¯s misery, making our lives tough. Yet, when their mask was off they had the guts to embrace each other like they were the wronged done people in here. The poor victims of vile world.


    But before taking his sweet daughter with him, Alpha Jonathan turned to me with a face showing only hatred and disgust.N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    Alpha Jonathan¡¯s voice echoed in my mind, his words giving a kind of warning,¡± Your disrespect will never be forgotten,¡± he vowed, his tone filled with a mix of fury and disappointment.


    ¡°I will be waiting for you if you ever decide to discuss the matters with me. ¡± I said, confidently.


    As they disappeared from sight, I couldn¡¯t help but feel lost and empty. Even aftermitting so many mistakes, Ava had a father who trusted in her. A father who came back to take his daughter back to give her the life of princess. The one in which she was born with a golden spoon.


    ¡® I think you should not feel bad because having such of other in your life would have done worse than doing any good. ¡® Belinay said, cutting off my thoughts of feeling down.


    ¡®Well, I am just happy as who I am. But it would be great to have loving parents by my side. ¡®


    Lost in my thoughts, I retreated to the sce of our chamber, where Alpha Tyrion awaited me. His presence broughtfort, he was like a ointment on my burns. As I entered, he turned to face me, his mouth set into a slight smile.


    ¡°Celine,¡± he began, his voice gentle yet firm, ¡°the pack elders have arranged for our crown ceremony tomorrow.¡±


    His words hung in the air, and I felt my stomach drop with the unexpected news. He held my arms and made me sit on hisp. ying with my hair, he ced a kiss on my cheek.


    ¡°we cannon leave the throne empty for long. You know there are so many rivals who are just waiting for the right moment to strike again. Including, Calle. ¡±


    Calle¡­ I somehow remembered about the dungeon not being in the recorded maps of the kingdom and I had to check up on it.


    ¡°The elders said-¡±


    ¡°Celine? ¡± Aunt entered the room and I immediately got up from Alpha Tyrion¡¯sp.


    ¡°Yes, Aunt. ¡±


    She bit her lipughing at us, ¡± Ah, seems like I disturbed a precious moment but I had something important to discuss. As the elders must have informed you about the crowning ceremony tomorrow, I just want to arrange stuff for you all. ¡±


    She was in such a hurry that I couldn¡¯t even talk to her about Calle¡¯s dungeon location in the woods. And I didn¡¯t find it important enough to make her excitement dwindle because of that man¡¯s name. She had already suffered a lot and I didn¡¯t want to keep reminding her that he was still alive and waiting for the right moment to strike again.


    ¡°I think I don¡¯t have a choice now¡­ ¡± I said half heartedly.


    I had still wanted to try to find my uncle so that I could have some members of my family with me in addition to my aunt and my husband. But it seemed life the Pack members couldn¡¯t wait and neither the elders were ready to leave the Throne unupied for so long.


    ¡°Yes, you don¡¯t have any choice because you are the princess and the royal blood has to serve its purpose. So, instead of feeling so low you should get excited that you are finally getting what you have always deserved. ¡± Aunt added.


    Alpha Tyrion chuckled, ¡± I think her fake father has told her not to ept any position without his presence. So, to make her happy we have invited him too. ¡±


    I gasped and gave him a light punch. He was being sarcastic but I could feel the hidden meaning behind his words and that was true. Somehow, Gabriel had made me feel so insecure about myself that even now when I knew that I was the real heir of this pack I still couldn¡¯t believe that I deserve to get the Crown.


    ¡°No, we don¡¯t need anyone who has hurt her in the past and I know she is just a nervous about this new journey but she will do just find because Warriors are not made they are born. ¡±


    Alpha Tyrion held her hand and promised, ¡± I will make sure that she never gets hurt again. Also, I have to ask about the guests invitation list and the Alpha names to be invited. I am nning to renew the mate bond with her. ¡±


    ¡°Well, that¡¯s amazing. Both you were destined to each other from the start. ¡±


    He was a bit hesitant, ¡± Actually, we are not fated mates. But I love her more than anyone in this whole world. ¡±


    ¡°Then, I really hope that your mates don¡¯t show up suddenly and break this beautiful bond. ¡±


    There was a warning in her tone and neither me nor Alpha Tyrion liked that. But what stung more was the fact that he still couldn¡¯t feel the mate bond.


    ¡°I think we should wait to renew the mate bond. I don¡¯t feel ready to do that. ¡± I said.


    He was clearly hurt and shocked but there was no way I would keep forcing this bond down his throat if he couldn¡¯t feel a thing yet.


    ¡°I will be back by 9. ¡± He said, kissing me.


    After both of them left, I said down in front of the mirror and decided to get ready for the night as I Undid my bun. The hair touched my waist now and I made a point in the back of my head that I needed a hairstyle really bad.


    ¡°Celine¡­. ¡±


    I was shocked to hear a strange voice in my head and when I look around I could not see anyone. I tried to catch the scent of the intruder but there was no one.


    ¡®Must be my misunderstanding. ¡®I said to myself.


    ¡°Come to me, Celine. I will take care of you forever.¡±


    This time I dropped theb and stood up. It was too clear to be just a hallucination in my head. Someone was trying to mind link with me. And talking abouting together in future. This was not supposed to be happening. No one could mind link with me without a connection. What kind of connection did I share with it?


    ¡°Who are you? ¡± I shouted.


    But there was no response. Just in silence and the asional sounds of birds outside the room.


    ¡°Calle? ¡± I tried again. But the voice was gone and I was left with worries of the voiceing back again.

 Danger alert after ceremony

    Celine¡¯s POV :


    ¡®Whatever or whoever it is, we need to wait. Remember, we promised Alpha Tyrion about sharing everything first. ¡® Belinay was right and I was not going to respond back to the voice.


    And for the stranger mind link, it had to be Calle. There was no one who would go to certain lengths to make me feel insecure of my big day.


    ¡®You don¡¯t need to be worried about it anymore. I am never going to hide anything from him. ¡®


    I heard a soft knock on the door and two maids entered with their heads bowed down and face lit up with a smile. They were in our ancient traditional attire especially designed for the crowning day.


    ¡°We bow down to the Luna and ask for her permission to take her to the crowning ceremony. ¡±


    I felt a smile spreading on my lips. They were so delighted to have said that royal sentence almost content that they got to be a part of it. A part of my life.


    ¡°Yes, please. ¡±


    With both of them on my either sides, I walked to the pce royalty chamber which was decorated beautifully and I could only feel my tears brimming in my eyes. A huge picture of my smiling mother was hung on the wall behind the throne. She had piercing blue eyes and soft blondes. I could see the fire in her eyes and the glow on her face. In one word, she was magnificent and I was d that I shared the same bone structure like her.


    Alpha Tyrion gave me his hand as I walked closer to him. He looked so handsome and charming in his navy blue attire. His sword hanging by his waist.


    ¡°You¡¯re looking so beautiful. ¡± He said, kissing my hand.Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    I blushed and gave him a slight nod, ¡± I am so nervous¡­ ¡±


    But the anxiety left my body with his warmth and closeness. The mate bond gave me safety and power which was the ultimate gift any wolf could ask for.


    Aunt Emerald walked to us, dressed in her beautiful green gown and the crown in her hands covered by a red satin cloth.


    ¡°Celine, I am so happy that this day finally came. I have been waiting for this moment and can¡¯t just seem to believe you are here! ¡±


    Her eyes filled with passion and determination, somehow made me uneasy. She trusted me so much regarding the pack safety and crown. But was I actually the deserving candidate?


    My thoughts were interrupted when the elders started to prepare the rituals for the ceremony and aunt excitedly held my arm. The pack members weed me with flowers and cheers. But as I made my way to the ceremonial grounds, a nagging sense of unease gnawed at me. My wolf, usually a steady presence within me, had been restless, pacing and growling in the back of my mind.


    I took a deep breath, trying to steady my racing heart. Maybe it was just nerves. After all, bing queen was no small responsibility. As I stepped into the circle of elders, their faces etched with solemn reverence, I forced myself to smile. Aunt Emerald, ever poised and elegant, stood on my left, her hand gently squeezing mine in reassurance.


    ¡°Give a smile, Celine. ¡± She whispered to me.


    On my right, Alpha Tyrion held my other hand, his grip warm and steady.


    The elders began the ritual, their voices rising in unison as they chanted the ancient words of blessing and protection. I nced at Alpha Tyrion, his strong profile calm and focused.


    ¡°O, Moon Goddess, The Mother of this, the one who offers her sweet gentle light to heal us, we, the kingdom of Zephyr, today, crown the Royal blood, the chosen one by you to be the Queen of this kingdom. Please ept her as your strongest soldier, the one who will lead the packs. ¡±


    Aunt Emerald stepped forward, the crown of our ancestors held delicately in her hands. With a careful, practiced motion, she ced the crown on Tyrion¡¯s head first, then mine.


    ¡°Alpha Tyrion! The Greatest Alpha! We are blessed to have you! ¡±


    The pack erupted into cheers, their voices echoing through the clearing. I managed to smile, but the thumping of my heart grew louder, more insistent.


    ¡°Long live the Queen and King of Zephyr!¡±


    The maids brought sses of wine, we nk them and raised our hands high. A loving kiss nted on my mouth as I tried to find peace in my mate irrespective of the anxiety deep down in my heart.


    ¡°Please, congratte the King and Queen. ¡± The elders told the pack members.


    As the pack members approached us one by one to offer their congrattions, I did my best to push aside my unease. They deserved to see their new queen happy and confident. But when an old woman grasped my hand, her eyes clouded with worry, my heart skipped a beat.


    ¡°Danger,¡± she whispered, her voice barely audible above the din.


    Before I could react, Aunt Emerald was there, gently but firmly pushing the woman away. ¡°She¡¯s just an old crone, pay her no mind,¡± she said with a dismissive wave.


    I nodded, but the woman¡¯s words echoed in my mind. Danger. What could she have meant? I didn¡¯t have time to dwell on it, as the elders beckoned me over to discuss some pressing matters. They were concerned about Calle, his new schemes even in the so called woods¡¯ dungeon.


    ¡°The thing is¡­ we haven¡¯t known of this dungeon and it is something which is keeping us worried for long enough. I personally would rmend you to take a visit to the dungeon to check if everything is under control. ¡±


    I nodded, ¡± I have been wary of him too. He is not just a wolf but a Lycan. And any stupid person would think that he wouldn¡¯t try anything to harm us now. ¡±


    The party had started for the crowning ceremony and the members were enjoying, dancing and singing to themselves. It was the right time, me and Alpha Tyrion needed to check on him. Maybe after that, I would feelfortable.


    ¡°Yes, I will go along with you. ¡±


    Alpha Tyrion offered to apany me, but Aunt Emerald insisted oning instead. ¡°You should stay and oversee the festivities,¡± she said to Alpha Tyrion with a smile. ¡°I¡¯ll make sure Celine is safe.¡±


    Alpha Tyrion hesitated, but eventually agreed.


    ¡°If anything goes wrong, just mind link with me¡­ I will be there in a minute. ¡± He said.


    ¡°I will keep her safe over my life. Don¡¯t worry about her. ¡± She answered.


    I was grateful for Aunt Emerald¡¯s support. She was this powerful and strong woman who was a motivating figure in my life. Someone like a mother to me. The carriages were ready for us to take us to the woods and Aunt told the guards to stay back because only two of us would be going to that dangerous ce.


    As we made our way to the woods, I felt a little more at ease with her by my side.


    The woods were thick and silent, the only sound our footsteps crunching on the forest floor. I nced at Aunt Emerald, her expression unreadable. ¡°Where exactly is the dungeon?¡± I asked, trying to break the uneasy silence.


    She pointed ahead. ¡°Just a bit further,¡± she said.


    I nodded and followed her lead, but the feeling of unease only grew stronger. Suddenly, something hard struck the back of my head. Pain exploded in my skull, and I fell to my knees, the world spinning around me. I tried to turn, to see my attacker, but my vision blurred.


    Thest thing I saw before everything went ck was Aunt Emerald standing over me, a sword in her hand.


    ¡°Why?¡± I croaked, my voice hoarse and weak.
