Chapter 1
|| LARISA's POV ||
"Alpha....I..I can't take it anymore.. Please.."
I groaned between my pain and pleasure. Even after three times, he wasn't done with me. King Alexander spoke in a rough voice, thrusting inside me deeper than before,
"Aren’t you built for this?"
My heart skipped a bit, and both pleasure and shame washed over me.
Shame and guilt.
I was used to this life of slavery. Although my body felt the torture, a part of me liked his dark side. Lycan King Alexander Lawson had been the savior of my life.
My former pack was conquered by Alpha Mason. He killed all my families, I managed to escape that day. Later I was abducted with my maid Sally and we were both bought by King Alexander's people. All support me live now is revenge to Alpha Mason.
Our journey started in the Lycan Kingdom. King Alexander had always been a cold person. He talked less and kept a cold aura around him always. Despite being a cold person, he was the definition of handsome. With his straight nose, dark hair, and brown eyes, he could capture the heart of any woman. Everybody said that it was my fortune that he had his eyes on me.
“Good girl.” He always said.
I was only sixteen when I entered the Lycan Kingdom. Except for his desire, I wasn't mistreated here. They liked me for being the King's favorite. They said you are special.
Only I knew what I was.
I used to believe that I was his favorite and then I misunderstood something, like…Alpha Alexander loved me, and as time elapsed, I almost forgot the hatred I buried in my deep heart. The way his gaze landed on me, the way he called my name, all of them, gave me the illusion.
But it was all an illusion.
All I could do was to please him and seek my chance like now.
"Thank you, Master. Should I bring you.. another tea? It's cold now." I forced myself to be delightful and smiled brightly.
But he didn’t reply to my question, instead, he looked into my eyes deeply.
“What do you think about Gabriel?” He suddenly asked.
Just hearing the name could make my brows furrow in an instant. Gabriel was King Alexander’s cousin. Maybe he had told Alexander something, and that was why he suddenly asked me.
“I don’t know him much.” I forced myself to keep smiling, but then I felt a rough finger on my wet lips, feeling it rubbing my lips, my teeth and…deep in my mouth.
I raised my head and met his stunning eyes.
“You are indeed nothing to me, Larisa,” I almost forgot to breathe, “But you need to remember, Larisa. You are my slave. My pet. One and only.”
“Call Theo to come here.”
I left the room with a long sigh of relief. I thought that he was going to ask for me. Once I came out, I met Sally who was standing for me. Sally passed me a warm blanket as the weather outside suddenly became cold. I thanked her with a warm smile,
"Thank you, Sally. Only you care about me."
Sally had been my maid ever since I entered the Lycan Kingdom. Her sister was my maid since I was a child. Her sister impersonated me and saved me from the enemies. They thought of her as me and killed her. Sally was left in my car and thankfully, we were sold in the same kingdom.
Sally asked excitedly, keeping her eyes on the surroundings,
"How did it go, Princess? Did you impress him today?"
I let out a long exhausted sigh. Although I was serving King Alexander for more than three years, he was too cold to approach. I did impress him in many ways but he didn't give me any place in his heart. I shook my head, walking briskly to the servant quarters,
"No, Sally. He didn't do anything special for me. Hopefully, he will change one day but the time is getting shorter. I heard that Alpha Mason has won over another pack. The more wins he has, the stronger, he will grow."
Sally's face darkened at the mention of Alpha Mason. She also hated Alpha Masons like me. Even her whole family was murdered on the same day. Sally spoke with a scoff, walking next to me,
"No matter how strong he becomes, he will never be a match against the Lycan King. You have to work harder, Princess."
I paused between my walks to look at the full moon. The tension regarding King Alexander was so intense that I missed an important moment. Sally seemed to read through my mind as she gasped, her eyes widening in shock,
"Pri.. Princess..You are turning 18 tonight. Which means..."
I cut her off with a sharp reply, feeling an inner conflict inside,
"It means that I am supposed to find my mate tonight but I have no plans with my mate. I couldn't be with someone who wasn't powerful enough to help me with my kingdom."
Sally paused to ask with a low growl, her eyes watching me closely,
"WHAT.. WHAT DO YOU MEAN.. PRINCESS.."
I replied while continuing my walk to the servant quarters,
"I will reject my bond with anyone if it's not the king."
Sally gasped next to me, walking side by side,
"NO! PRINCESS! Your wolf will be broken. You can't take the pain. Please think about it once again."
I paused between my walk abruptly before blurting at Sally with tears in my eyes,
“I can take the pain, Sally.”
“Part of me already died when I saw my mother, father, brothers, and pregnant sister-in-law, all killed in front of my eyes. I don't care about the pain of this world anymore. I will take my revenge at any cost.”
Night.
The dark woods stood in front of me. My head was pounding with the smell of sex everywhere. The moon was hanging over my head. The unmated werewolves were all around to find their fated mates. Although I wanted to stay in my room, my desperate wolf was pushing me out.
I started walking into the woods, and the strong smell coming from the woods told me that my mate was nearby. My wolf howled in joy, running faster into the woods, and finally shifted into her beast form. It followed the smell of our mate in the woods.
I heard a growl close by obviously coming from our mate. When my wolf wanted to run to him, I forced my wolf to turn around and run in a different direction. I didn't want a mate for myself. I had other goals in my life and a mate would only be trouble for me. I couldn't endanger his life on this bloody path of mine.
Letting out a roar, I ran faster into the woods, jumping through the bushes and ignoring the sound of other howls, coming from my surroundings. A dark shadow was chasing me. I didn't need to turn around and see who it was. It must have been my mate who smelled my arousal and followed me.
I kept running desperately, my wolf screaming in my head,
"YOU ARE HURTING ME!"
I shouted back, determined not to meet my mate tonight,
"WE CAN'T! MY PARENTS..NEED JUSTICE.."
My wolf started sobbing as I kept dashing away from my mate further and further away. When I thought that I might have escaped, a big black wolf jumped on my body. I fell forward with a squeak, hitting myself on the ground. My wolf lay facing its head down on the ground. Another animalistic snarl came to my ears,
"WHO allows you to leave here!"
I held my breath in fear. My wolf could sense the dominant aura, coming from his wolf. I whimpered painfully under his clutch. He suddenly let go of my throat, standing a step away. I haven't met his eyes yet. He was big, far larger than my wolf. I could sense it from his gravity. His voice came out as a command, sending shivers down my spine,
"SHIFT! I SAID SHIFT!!"
My wolf whined to submit and finally gave up. In a few seconds, I was lying stark naked under his watchful eyes. I lifted myself nervously and raised my head slowly to meet those murdero
us eyes. A gasp came out of my mouth when I saw the man standing in front of me,
"MATE…”
Chapter 2
|| LARISA's POV ||
"My King...I..."
I tried to speak after returning to my human form. King Alexander just silently looked at me, seemed like he was not shocked by my appearance at all.
I blinked. Numerous thoughts washed over me in a second. Had he already expected that I would be his mate? Would that be the reason that he used to treat me as a…special one? Would he be willing to help me to take revenge?
“Larisa.”
Suddenly, he whispered my name.
My heart thudded like a drum, and then—it broke into pieces by his words.
“An omega…is my fucking mate.”
He whispered in a low sarcastic chuckle, backing away.
"An OMEGA! NO WAY! You are supposed to be my slave only."
He didn't expect me to become his mate.
Worse, I’d never seen him so cold and cruel towards me.
I couldn’t help but shiver under his rage. Alpha Alexander was a Lycan, the most powerful Lycan in the world, until this moment I finally realized that.
Thinking of the hope gathered in my heart just now, I could only smile bitterly. Pathetic!
It hurt although I never wanted to find my mate. I hung my head down and heard him speaking in a cold voice, anger flashing across his eyes.
"I WON'T LET THE HISTORY REPEAT! I WON'T HAVE THE SAME FATE AS MY MOTHER.”
“I, Lycan King Alexander Lawson,reject you Larisa as my mate and Luna."
My wolf let out a howl of cry, falling forward in pain.
He didn't listen to me and turned around to exit, leaving me in the woods.
__________
" Stop crying, Princess. Did you see your face? You look broken!"
Sally tried to comfort me but I wasn't stopping crying. I never thought that the pain of rejection could be so severe. King Alexander hated me because I wasn't of a noble rank in his eyes. He believed that I wasn't entitled to sit next to him. I didn't want a mate from normal wolves but I wanted him as my mate. Our sexual relationship had started to take a different turn. I started to take him as my lover more than a master.
I replied between my tears, sobbing harder,
" What will I do now, Sally? All my dreams are broken. I could have avenged my family's death only if he accepted me. Now, I have nothing, no hope."
My sole goal of survival was to avenge my family's death. When the opportunity finally came and it was shattered again, I couldn't find the spirit of fighting anymore. On one hand, I was suffering after being rejected by my mate, and on the other hand, I was still mourning my family's death.
Sally patted my back as she comforted me,
" You are strong, Princess. You will find a way."
I refused to believe that, shaking my head hopelessly,
" No..I can't..I served King Alexander for years to get on his good side. Nothing worked and now he rejected our bond. I have no hopes left anymore."
Sally fell into deep thoughts as she blurted, looking into my eyes,
" There's a person.. who can help you.."
I asked between my years, looking up at Sally strangely,
" Who?"
Sally gave me a name that turned my blood cold in shock,
"His step-brother, the King Vincent."

|| ALEXANDER LAWSON'S POV ||
I walked into Gabriel’s room with furious.
" Cousin... what are you doing in my room?" Gabriel scrambled over the bed as soon as he saw me enter.
The naked woman next to him looked startled, sat up, and left as fast as possible.
I dropped the cigarette from my hand, smirking at his frightened face mysteriously,
" I heard that you have eyes for my little slave, Larisa. Am I hearing it right, cousin?"
Gabriel's face sank into dismay as he understood the incident that I was referring to.
“I overheard the conversation between two maids. One of them described how you tried to touch Larisa after the ball for a few days?” That damn little slave of mine never breathed a word to me.
Gabriel jumped off his bed, and went on his knees before he started to explain impatiently,
" All are lies, cousin. Trust me. She...she..was seducing me."
I let out a throaty laugh. Did he forget that he was a good liar?
My wolf snapped out of rage. I grabbed his face with all my strength, suffocating him with my palm. I breathed my words out slowly,
" You want me to believe that a woman is interested in another man when she has the lycan king on her bed, cousin? What did I say about staying away from my things?"
My claws were itching to come out. It would take a moment for me to snap his brain fucking out. Gabriel writhed in pain under my clutch. In a swift movement, I lifted his body and held it against the pillar behind me. The wall was cracked open from the impact, leaving a big bruise on the back of his head. My wolf growled instinctively, pressing him harder against the wall,
" SHE IS MINE! Which hands of yours touched her, hmm?"
Gabriel cried out, begging for mercy, and refused to give me any answer. I spoke again with a malicious grin, pointing at his right hand,
" Shall I start with this or..."
Pointing on the other hand, I continued with a grin, watching his face turn white in fear,
" Or this one..."
I didn't wait for his answer. I grasped his right hand and twisted it hard painfully. A wail came from his lips with the sound of his bones cracking. Gabriel's body hit the ground. The way his hand was twisted, I believed that he wouldn't be able to use that hand again.
Once again, my possessiveness shocked me. She wasn't supposed to be the center of my attention but I was ready to throw the world aside for her. I hated myself for being drawn to her. She was probably the hardest distraction to give up in my life.
My regent, Samuel met me in the corridor as soon as I walked out of the room. He peered into the room and said vehemently,
" Is..it worth punishing him so cruelly? You have already rejected your fated bond with her.At least..."
Samuel swallowed the rest of his words after receiving a death glare from me. I stressed my words before replying,
" I won't make the same mistake as my mother did. An omega can't be my queen but SHE WILL BE MINE. You understand, Samuel? Touch her, and you will die."
Samuel looked troubled as he changed the topic with a sigh, walking away from the cries of Gabriel,
" I came to inform you that.. Alpha Jason has rejected our proposal to bind with his land. He isn't allowing our trades anymore."
I paused between my tracks, blurting with a straight face,
" So...he chose to collaborate with Vincent? What did that fucker offer him?"
It was not new to me that my step-brother Vincent Lawson was followed by many packs. Some packs believed in old tradition as they didn't accept me as a legitimate heir to the throne. My mother never received the official status but that didn't stop me from becoming the king.
Samuel replied coldly, walking side by side as we came to my quarters,
" His daughter! He has offered a hand in marriage to Vincent. I think it's high time that you choose your mate from the higher classes."
Before I could respond, an idea came to my mind.
Woman!
So many kings were destroyed for women. Why couldn't it be Vincent Lawson?
I smiled viciously at the thought of his dead body. Turning around, I asked Samuel gleefully,
" Samuel! Find me the best woman from my castle, the prettiest one."
Samuel was stunned for a second before asking grimly,
" Don't tell me that you are planning to send a woman to Vincent's bed?"
I replied with a sneer, pausing in my tracks,
" Everything is fair in love & war, Samuel. I am just pushing my dear brother to his fate."
Samuel blurted out with a smile, running after me,
" I bow in front of your intelligence, My King.”
Chapter 3
|| LARISA'S POV ||
King Larisa's eyes hardened on me as soon as I talked about the condition. I wanted to play it safe. If King Vincent found out about me, I wanted to return to King Alexander's side to fulfill my family's revenge.
King Alexander spoke with a growl, looking deep into my eyes,
" You want to be the queen? YOU WANT OUR BOND BACK?"
It hurt me to know that he regarded me as a greedy person. Our bond would have helped me in the war against my enemy but I wasn't going to beg him for our mate bond. I shook my head with a pale face, speaking with a sigh,
" No, my king. There is something else that I would like to ask you. But I will ask only after I complete my mission in Vincent's castle."
King Alexander knit his eyebrows together. He looked around before giving them his order,
" All Of You! Step outside!"
They left without any delay. As soon as they left, King Asher ordered me coldly,
" Bend over the desk, Larisa!"
I swallowed hard and complied with his order. Walking over to the desk, I lean over the desk, waiting for him to come. He caught me in a minute and forced me to part my legs wide. Without any prior notice, he started with a violent thrust. I let out a cry as he began to pound inside me vigorously, the desk shaking from his brutal attacks. I was getting breathless as he didn't stop for a second.
He growled into my ears, still pounding inside my wetness,
" REMEMBER ATHENA! NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES VIKTOR FUCKS YOU, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MINE."
I choked on my words as I reached my climax. I didn't understand King Alexander. He didn't want me as his mate but he wasn't letting me go either. I muttered between my tears of pleasure and frustration,
" Wh..why...You don't love me..you don't.. want me.. Why?"
He paused between his movements and fell silent. He blurted, taking me by surprise,
" I WANT YOU BUT NOT AS MY MATE, LARISA! YOU WILL BE MINE.. FOREVER.."

" ALL HAIL THE KING, VINCENT LAWSON."
Someone announced in a loud voice, grabbing our attention in the doorway. I lifted my head slightly to look in that direction. The crowd was making it impossible for me to look at the king.
I was so preoccupied with my thoughts that I didn't notice myself, moving to the other side aimlessly. As a result, my hand slipped off, the tray meeting the floor with a loud bang. I gasped out of shock but was immediately put down by the roar of a young woman,
" HOW DARE YOU RUIN MY MOMENT!"
I snapped my eyes up to find a well-dressed lady standing. She was around my age and the small crown over her head confirmed that she belonged to a noble family. The head of the maids rushed to the spot, immediately bowing,
" Lady Agatha. Forgive us. She is new and doesn't have any etiquette yet. I will teach her."
Agatha looked pissed at me. She shot me a death glare before muttering furiously,
" She almost ruined my dress. Does she fucking know that I was going to meet the king now? Goddess!! I feel like whipping her ass. She looks like a piece of shit."
My wolf growled inside me in defense. It was clear that she was putting on a drama on purpose. I did nothing except drop the tray on her way. Agatha blurted out furiously,
" KNEEL & APOLOGIZE."
Fuck! She wasn't the queen, so why should I?
I hesitated but the head of the maid slapped me all of a sudden, growling at me,
" What are you waiting for? She is our future queen. KNEEL YOU SLUT!"
Future Queen? Why didn't they mention that?
Shoving the proud wolf back into my mind, my knee sank to the ground, ready to apologize. Each word from my mouth came out trembling, filled with rage,
" For.. give me.."
Lady Agatha raised her head haughtily and walked away not before stepping on my palm. A hiss left my mouth from the pain of her stomping feet. I got up after they walked away, going back to my position to serve the king.
A sweet, playful voice caught my attention, coming from the hallway,
" There..there..my beautiful Fiancée."
I couldn't help from look up. My wolf squirmed in delight as she heard the King. Vincent Lawson was greeting Lady Agatha with his silver crown. The playful smile on his face almost made me forget the fact that he was ruthless against his enemies. His tanned skin with a pair of grey eyes almost emitted the vibe of a war hero. There was a certain playfulness in his eyes that made him different from his step-brother, Alexander Lawson.
The maids around me smiled at his presence. He seemed to carry the charm of a playful man. Lady Agatha swirled her gown to show him, pride lacing out of her voice,
" Look at me, Your Majesty! Ain't I look beautiful? Don't I look like the perfect Luna?"
The smile on Vincent's face appeared awkward. He took a glance at her and blurted out straightforwardly,
" Yeah.. almost like the girl that I slept with last night."
Lady Agatha's face fell and I almost had a good laugh until I saw a familiar face,
" You have picked the wrong occasion to ask something silly, my niece. But you are always admired by the king and us."
Alpha Gerrat walked in from the opposite direction of the court. My blood boiled in rage as soon as his sinful face came into my view. He changed over the years. His smile was still deceiving just like he did with my father, the man whom my father regarded as his brother. Gerrat's hair grew a little white over the years. Even after so much time has passed, I can't forget the painful face of my pregnant sister-in-law.
My wolf almost went out to strangle him but I was fighting to control it. King Vincent turned to reply to him,
" Alpha Gerrat. When did you come back from traveling?"
Alpha Gerrat replied with a playful grin, walking slowly back into the castle,
" Just now. I must say that you are their true heir by heart and soul. Just my niece needs to bear you a son and King Alexander will have no value in the whole kingdom."
I furrowed my brows tightly at his words. What was he trying to do between them exactly?
______
Gerrat's laughter reached my ears as we were waiting outside the hall. King Vincent and his peasants were chatting inside. They were invited here for unknown reasons. Thankfully, I was selected to serve the food tonight. Hopefully, King Vincent would have an eye for me.
A low growl from werewolves caught my attention. I turned aside to see a group of black-caged wolves. I asked the girl next to me,
" Why are they chained? They don't shift?"
The girl replied in a low voice, staring fearfully at the wolves,
" The wolves belong to Alpha Gerrat. They are wild wolves and don't shift. They are very dangerous and attack anyone who is in front of them. That's why, they are always chained."
I smiled at the little information that I received. As the guard shouted at us to deliver the food inside, I came up with a wicked idea. I passed my tray to the girl and was excused from there. The wolves were all alone and I didn't want to miss the chance.
I went behind the wolves secretly and unchained them, stepping away before they could attack me. To meet my expectations, they dashed straight into the gathering party, shouting like a hungry wolf. I waited in the dark until they were all shouting, running in different directions.
I ran into the party, pretending to be shocked, and saw Alpha Gerrat, struggling to stop his pets. They attacked him, made him bleed which was my biggest satisfaction. My eyes shifted to King Vincent who was killing the wolves with his sword. The biggest one came behind him and wanted to punch him back.
I didn't think twice to grab my knife and run in his direction. Before I could even touch the wolf, the black wolf suddenly turned his attenti
on to me and howled aggressively. His claws met my skin before I had the chance to defend myself.
