*Alpha King Jack*It is a torture to not let her know of our love. To keep everything to myself, and most importantly to hold back. I keep my distance from her to respect what Beta Derek and I have agreed upon. And it is not to rush Carmela into becoming my Queen. So I let her live a normal life like a common she wolf at her age in the pack. But we both keep her safe and protect her. Even when it means I have to wait..."Is something wrong Carmela? Are you alright?" A deep frown formed in between my brows when I see how she hold her breath. It's as if something have frightened her or I just couldn't comprehend what's going on in her pretty little mind. She have no collection of our past, although Maleficus have assured me that Carmela will remember on her eighteenth birthday. That's another long year of waiting."I ah, I feel hot all of a sudden."Her

*Carmela*The day for my birthday celebration finally come, which made me busy of the preparation since it desired my great attention being the celebrant. My father have paid for a costly dress that I would wear for the significant occasion, and the jewelries that matches them was sent by the Alpha King. My heart is overwhelmed when I heard that the Palace are officially concentrated on the festivity.My seventeenth birthday, it would have been better if I will turn eighteen. That way, I will know the fated mate that I have from the Moon Goddess. Nothing excites me better than the gift that Alpha King Jack promised to give me. Discreetly I wished that my fated mate is him, although I know that it would be impossible since he's way older than I am."Isn't she ready yet?"My father, showed a display of impatience feature as he gazes towards the Palace maid putting

*Alpha King Jack*I don't know what makes me more mad, the fact that those girls did something to harm Carmela or the thought that I invited them in the first place. I could blame myself because I was not aware of how envied she could be, at school and all around the Palace. I wanted to reveal to everyone why she is treated special, and why she's very protected but I am afraid that the news would shock her as well as all the wolves in the Kingdom.My eyes did not leave her place, when she began to moan a little louder than usual. She's in pain, the drug is giving her hallucinations and torture! Where the hell is Maleficus!? He was gone for almost ten minutes and every second which passes felt like years.I kneeled down beside her and hold her hands, they felt hot. The sight of her eye lashes fluttering and the glistening sweat that flows on her forehead have tripled the worries that I am feeling deep in my heart. And the rage I'm fe

*Carmela* "Where have you been in the past few hours Carmela? I haven't seen you until now. The other guests was looking for you, and I can't blame them. This is your party after all!" My father surveyed my face, trying to read my expression and furrowed his brows when he realized that I am wearing a different gown. Not the same one that he bought, his eyes turned wide in surprise as he open his mouth to say something but the powerful figure behind him approached us and beat his tongue to it. "Beta Derek! Can I join you and our birthday celebrant in your table?" His deep and well modulated voice made me feel anxious. Alpha King Jack! Just by looking at him has made my heart rate beats faster inside my chest. Our eyes meet when I look up to greet him in my most controlled manner. Trying hard not to show the excitement and surprise when he brush the air beside me. I love the wonder

*Carmela* Summer break, I think all the young people like me who goes to school everyday has been waiting for this moment like it's the best part of our lives. After the celebration of my birthday and the little commotion which is created by Marga and two other girls from school, I have stayed home with a wolf guard outside our door. My father have insisted to keep my safety in the top of his priority, specially when he's not around the house. Today he was out early, I didn't ask where he was going but he told me to stay home since he is requested to accompany the Alpha King's son who arrived yesterday. They are set for an important mission to the city. The Prince have been studying abroad for a degree. I've seen him a couple of times, and he always is the center of attention whenever he is around.
