Hilda's povThe solstice party kicked off, and I knew I was going to have fun. Every shade of light was emitted from the party as people danced and swayed their bodies, and I was no exception.I was on my fourth drink when I noticed two girls and a few guys staring at me with their mouths still moving toward each other.I felt uncomfortable, but maybe it was because the shapes behind my eyes were shaking.I ignored them and continued to have another drink. I was so happy today because it was heavily rumored that the solstice made finding mates so much easier.I was twenty years old without a mate, and it was embarrassing. I was taking yet another drink when the girl from earlier materialized before me in seconds.I spilled the alcohol on my dress by accident out of fright."Goddess!" I shouted, placing a hand to my chest as she continued to look at me, and then she smiled."Look, I don't know who invited you, but we're getting..." She trailed off, and I had been trying to clean my dre
The next thing I heard was laughter. Deep bowels of cackling.I stopped blinking for a second as the voice's owner stepped out from the shadows.It was Catherine.The number one whore of the palace, she had been rumored to be able to control the wallets of any man that looked good to her, and now it looked as though that included the dear prince. While she controlled and commanded their wallets, she also controlled their sexual appetites."Lucas, you should know who she is." She took a deep breath between each laughter as she looked at me intently.Lucas didn't seem to grab on to what she was saying as he looked at her continuously."Mateless? Wolfless?" She echoed, and my head spun.What did she mean by that?Was there some sort of rumor about me somewhere?"Oh! That omega?" Lucas exclaimed, and they shared a laugh at my expense.I looked at both of them before deciding that I was not going to deal with any of this and turned around swiftly."Come back here!" Lucas shouted at me, and
I hadn't thought about it for long before more twigs snapped close to me.My nose picked up a scent I didn't know existed, and I immediately closed my nose to prevent me from inhaling more pungent odors that accompanied the scent.I immediately stepped back and wanted to move in a direction I knew nothing about when a shadow emerged from nowhere.I stumbled back to where I was coming from, my eyes getting more and more used to the blue marks that were heavily marked into the trees that surrounded me.How had I not seen it before?How had I not smelled the dangers that lurked and now moved towards me in this forest?I was a long way away from the blood moon pack; I was in the stolen lands.land owned by a ruthless being, one that was never seen, only heard, and felt.The same being that had my parents killedEvery ounce of me rejected this place, but I didn't have much of a choice since I was still the same person within the area.I turned, wanting to take another route to escape the m
What the man had said came to pass, and in less than two seconds, I was free, and bodies were decapitated in disproportionate portions.I scurried away, trying to hide inside a tree, as the man approached me with blood splattered generously across his rock-hard chest.Fear didn't allow me to look up at him, for fear of what I would see."Hello pup," he said and inched closer to me, his face obscured from my vision as I kept my head bowed. Something in me felt dirty, but the moment his hands touched me and I raised my eyes to meet him, I felt safe, and his startling blue eyes made my insides jump in excitement, and suddenly I was in heat again.I caressed his hands, feeling for cuts but coming up with nothing. His eyes held the world and nothing at the same time, and something in me wanted to be at the center of whatever it was that he was doing.Slowly, my heart pulsed with need, and his smirk spread out fully on his face.I wanted this man. I didn't know why, and to think I just saw
"Let go of her before I lose my mind." He thundered dangerously, and the two guards who yanked my hands swiftly pulled their hands off me in fright."No. This can’t be. She is a cheap slut who was caught in the woods lying hopelessly after she slept with a stranger who is not her mate. She deserves no mercy and should be punished severely for the crime she committed!" Catherine screamed frantically while shutting her eyes at me, but my thoughts were far from paying attention to her."What is he doing here?" I have to do something. I can’t let him kill me the same way he killed my parents. I muttered under my breath while pacing around the palace, thinking of how to escape the sudden death that fell in front of me."Not another word from you, miss, or I'll rip off your throat!" King Avalour groaned at Catherine while holding her neck to the point where she began to choke and winced aloud.My heart began to skip more beats while I kept thinking of how to escape, why is he here? and why i
Avalor povSnapping my wrist, I watched for the 10th time as I clenched my fist and moved around the throne room while Russell was seated calmly after we had a little argument. I couldn’t control my emotions anymore, and my thoughts overwhelmed me and spoke up:"Hilda has taken so long, Russell; are you not bothered?" Russell snapped at me but remained calm."You know you are not welcome in my palace. You need to get something straight into your head. The only reason I agree to let you go with Hilda is because she has done what our kingdom forbids, and she is useless staying here. So to me, she is a bad market, and the only gift from me to you could only be a rejected slut." He snarled while my face dashed, his glimpse fist flying around my face.I see Russell doesn’t know why I am called the Ruthless lycan Alpha. With just a snap of my fingers, I could wipe out his entire kingdom."Hilda Storm was taken into my pack after her parents had died some years ago. Unfortunately, she became
Lucas POV.I watched as the news played out across every channel that the Lycan king of the Red Storm Pack had declared war against the Blood Moon Pack over killing Hilda. My wolf, Axton, snarled in my head at the display. I felt so sick, knowing people would think I was a murderer. As the heir apparent to the throne of the Blood Moon Pack. The last thing I need now is such a ridiculous scandal."Calm down, son." My father patted my back, trying to soothe me, as it was very obvious I was freaking out with the news all over the place. I swiftly shut the TV off. My wolf, Axton, kept making things worse; he wouldn't stop blaming me for what happened to Hilda. Unfortunately, he wanted Hilda, but I can't have an ordinary Omega without a Luna quality as a mate."Dad, you have to do something about this madness that is going on. Everyone can't keep believing what Avalor said on air. He has gone way far, Dad! You have to speak to him to drop the nonsense before it is too late." My Dad looked
Hilda's POVI opened my eyes, and it felt blurry. I swiftly tried to lift my hands, touching my face to see if I was blindfolded or something, but I was stunned to my bones to discover drips hanging out of my hand, and the other hand had bandages on it, which made me more confused. I then looked at my body, and I was wearing a blue gown.Where are mine, and what happened to me? Why am I in a hospital gown?" I questioned myself while staring out through the windows while I lay down.I tried to comprehend where I was and what brought me here, but sadly, my vision became more blurry and my head spun. I wiped my face the third time, but there was no significant change. Rather, it became clear that I couldn't remember anything, and I felt sick of that."How did I get into this place, and where are mine?" I questioned myself in a very low tone, and fear swelled up while I peeked through the windows from where I lay but wasn't able to see more.I started to assume that I was in the hospital.
