"You belong to me, lurline. I alone am capable of making you feel this way. Your moans and body belong to me. Your soul and your body are all mine!" Alpha Hadrianus Blaze, the most dreaded Alpha in all of the North, wealthy, powerful and widely feared in the supernatural world, was the envy of all other packs. He was thought to have it all... power, fame, wealth and favor from the moon goddess, little was it known to his rivals that he has been under a curse, which has been kept a secret for so many years, and only the one with the gift of the moon goddess can lift the curse. Lurline, the daughter of Alpha Aldo who was an arch enemy to Hadrianus, had grown up with so much hatred, detest and maltreatment from her father. She was the fated mate to Alpha Hadrianus. He refused to reject her, yet he loathed her and treated her poorly, because he was in love with another woman, Ramona. But one of these two women was the cure to his curse, while the other was an enemy within. How would he find out? Let's find out in this heart racing piece, filled with suspense, steamy romance and betrayal.
My shaken legs could no longer withstand the tension charged in the room. My entire life had changed the second the words "mate" left my lips.
I gripped onto the white pillar in the courtroom for support, the knife-edged tension within the court growing brutal by the second.
Our pack warriors were behind their Alpha, Aldo Reign, no doubt prepared to attack, just in case a fight managed to break out with the warriors from the nightrider Pack.
My father, Aldo, was in a heated conversation with Alpha Hadrianus about me. It was funny as hell how the confrontation a second ago about my father sending rogues to the nightrider Pack soon changed into an intense conversation between my father, Alpha of the Silver tail Pack, and Alpha Hadrianus of the nightrider Pack, my mate.
It still feels like a dream to me how my entire life changed for the worse within a minute.
It was as if the universe hated me, and the moon goddess despised me.
At that moment, he was here, Alpha Hadrianus Blaze, charging in with a troop of his warriors into our pack, with fury stalking his veins, and then, to my utter disbelief, he happened to be my fated mate.
I listened more to their conversation; neither of them was ready to take a rest. My father couldn't do better to hide his satisfaction in sending me off with the enemy.
For some reason, Hadrianus kept refusing me, almost as if he was rejecting me. Even though I'm quite used to people's rejection, I've experienced it first-hand with my father, the infamous Aldo reign. Hadrianus's rejection hurt me more than I'd like to admit. I mean, even though I just found out he was my name, we shared a bond after all.
Father and Hadrianus looked at each other like they were a second from murdering the other, as they kept deciding my fate like I wasn't even in the room. This was about me, yet Hadrianus had not cast a second glance on me. It sent a piercing pain to my chest.
"As you wish, Alpha Aldo, I will take her away," Hadrianus spoke with ease, but there was something about the way he counted those words that made me cringe. It was cold and threatening.
It could almost be called a miracle that the courtroom still remained calm. Every pack in the territory was aware of the rooted hatred between both packs. They both had the largest packs in all of the North, and my father didn't like it one bit. He was a tyrant Alpha and a beast who preyed on packs, annihilating them and stealing their lands. That was the type of Alpha my father was. And Hadrianus was rumored to be no different
I was forced to shake off my thoughts when Alpha Aldo was up on his feet. He smiled darkly after one last gruesome stare at me. That smile of his has haunted my every awakening.
"She is yours after all. You may take her!" He glanced at me. He never treated me like his daughter.
My years growing up within the walls of the Packhouse have been the literal definition of the term "hell!'. In that hellish state, the only thing that kept me going was finding my mate. I always heard stories from the servants about the mate bond and its undying love. I always prayed for a mate, even though deep down I knew my chances were nil. Unlike most wolves that were blessed with their wolf mate at sixteen, mine never came. So, it was unbelievable that I would be given a mate. My legs finally gave up, collapsing against the pillar which could no doubt feel my plight.
Hadrianus demeanor was cold, dominating, and even intimidating. His eyes gauged me, regarding me. I felt uncomfortable under his cold stare. The cold mask he had worn did not allow me an inkling of his true thoughts.
"Tell her to be prepared. I'll send someone to take her before dusk." Hadrianus's gruesome eyes fell on me. Even just by staring at me, one could see the cold glacial that were aimed at my throat. How could I possibly be mated to him?
I almost gasped. I was fudging right there, yet he was ignoring me.
"That won't be necessary, she can leave with you." My father was in fact excited to send me away with him. Just like that, like a terrible nightmare, what little belongings I owned in this place that never seemed like home were bundled by the servants.
My horse was saddled for me, and my little belongings were all packed up by the servants, and I was literally shoved out by my father.
We began the ride to the nightrider Pack, my new home. Hadrianus was beside me, on my left was his beta, and the other warriors trailed behind.
We rode in absolute silence on our way to the nightrider Pack. Even when I forced myself to say something, what greeted me was a brutal silence and a murderous glare from him. So, I decided it was best to keep mute instead.
The uncomfortable silence lingered for hours as we rode past the mountains, to the other side of the south, into the capital, which I heard was under his territory. After a while, we arrived at the notorious nightrider Pack, known for everything it stood for. We rode a few more and we arrived at a castle. It was beautiful from the outside. Like nothing that I've seen before, it was truly beautiful.
When we approached the castle, some warriors sauntered to us, bowing in respect to Hadrianus. They took the reins of the horses, while someone helped me with my belongings.
I helped myself down, feeling everyone's curious eyes on me. There was no way anyone would have expected Hadrianus to be arriving with his mate, who happened to be his enemy's daughter.
"Alpha?" A woman approached us with the servants, but from the manner in which she spoke, I could tell she was someone with ranking. She bowed her head in respect to Hadrianus. Her curious eyes fell on me. The questions were vividly written in her eyes, but for some reason, she didn't dare ask them.
