Prologue 2

Stephanie's POV

Today am finally putting my revenge plan into motion. I've waited for so long for this day.

In one night, my entire world came crumbling, I was forced to flee the pack in the middle of the night. The blue crescent pack was attacked by the blood moon pack and my whole family was murdered in cold blood by the Ruthless and fearless Alpha Maxwell, who had no respect for the laws. I found out that the wicked Alpha has a thing for female slaves, he loves making women submit to him, and now I’m going to use his weakness against him.

"I vowed to make him pay"

And today is the day I commence my plot to end his miserable life…

What is your name?”

“Alexia,” I responded softly, giving him my wolf’s name and not mine, causing him to scoff once more as he turns swiftly turned the doorknob and pushes it open for me to walk in. Turns out, it is not just a master bedroom but an impressively large penthouse. The round walls, floor to ceiling, are mostly made of windows that give a beautiful view of the beach with the curtains pulled open. I never even knew that his castle had a beach behind it, I could feel the cool breeze as the waves glide to the shore. It’s so late in the night and it’s dark everywhere, but I could still make out the shapes of the palm trees on the beach as they move in sync with the breeze. I can imagine how beautiful it would be in the morning. There are beautiful lights that glistened on the path leading to the beach. Werewolves can see clearly in the dark so I’m guessing that those lights were put on because of the human visitors.

His widespread sitting room has two curved sofas with white and black cushions neatly arranged on them. The black tiles are neatly scrubbed and shining bright and the ceiling is sky-high. There is a bar on the other side and a spiraling staircase leading upstairs. King Maxwell is sitting at the bar, Downing shot after shot of whisky, getting more drunk by the minute,

Good!

It would make it easier to end his pathetic life. I heard the beeping of my phone and I realized that I had not used my spray for a while. My scent would soon resurface but I know I have nothing to worry about, he would be too drunk to perceive my scent. I sat on the couch and waited for him to finish his drink so he can show me to my room, I’m sure he isn’t expecting us to sleep together in this extremely beautiful room. We passed by some rooms on our way here and some are so close to his penthouse so I’m hoping to sleep in one of those rooms, then I can sneak back here when no one is watching. I’m sure he would fall asleep after all these drinks.

He staggered up from his seat at the bar and moved to head up the stairs but I spoke out to stop him,

“Uh… Where will I be sleeping?” I asked warily, watching him closely.

“Here of course,” he responds matter of fact as he continues climbing up the stairs. This is not possible, I’m not letting him touch me, I’m not a whore, I’m simply a stripper.

“And you?” I asked nervously, dreading his response. He halts once more and turned to gaze at me with his perfect eyebrow corked up. My palm is sweating as I wait for his response.

“Here also,” he smirked, obviously enjoying my discomfort.

“Excuse me?

But that’s not possible. You are not paying to fuck me, you paid me to dance and tease you. I’m a stripper, not a whore!” I speedily protest with eyes as wide as saucers as I dreaded his reaction. I can’t deny killing him if I sleep in the same room with him, can I? I need to be in my own room, that’s the plan and I’m not letting him ruin my plans.

He walks down the stairs, walking towards me in slow strides with his gaze pinned on me. He towers over my small frame as he walks closer to me. I saw him take in a deep breath and then I realized that my spray is gone, he can now smell me. As if on cue, my wolf howls excitedly as his scent hit me so hard that I moved back in shock,

“Mate,”

Alexia screams in my head.

I was dumbstruck. I kept shaking my head as I took more steps backward, moving as far away from him as possible. His stance and aura are intimidating, making me want to cower and hide in fear. His eyes take on a darker shade as he gazes deep into my eyes, letting his beast out to perk at me.

“Let’s get one thing straight Stephanie, or do you prefer Alexia? ” he spat out in disgust,

“Just because I didn’t mark and claim you in front of everyone when I first saw you, it doesn’t mean I’m going to be giving you any space. A little warning Steph, I take an exception to deception and lies. I’m only letting you walk free without my bite mark on your pretty little neck because we have a lot of humans around here besides, I never asked for a mate, I don’t want you. I’m just putting up with all this because I’m trying to figure out the deal about you and how you got to be a fucking prostitute.” He let out mockingly.

“How did he know?” I thought within me. It’s got to be Jason, he sold me out to his damn King because he sure isn’t my king. How could he hate me so much, I thought he loved me. We were planning to spend our lives together, how did it come to this, how could he do this to me?

By now, my back is against the wall as he keeps coming closer to me and I have nowhere else to go. He traps me with one of his hands beside my head on the wall while I stare up at him, gulping saliva down my dry throat. He looks pissed as hell but he is trying to restrain himself from doing something.

I thought he was going to hurt me, I was expecting the pain but it didn’t come. He leans his face closer to mine, and our lips are almost touching as he hisses and inhales my scent to calm down,

“Don’t think for one second that I’ll be denying myself from having you in every possible way that I can. You’re mine Steph, mine!” he groans into my ear. I felt his lips on my neck sending zaps of electricity down my whole body, and I involuntarily let out a moan of pleasure. His eyes moved to my boobs and I saw them darken in lust. How did I end up this way, I want to move away, I want to push him away, but I have no control over my own body.

He doesn’t stop, he moves closer, eliminating any space between us, I could feel his boner poking at my stomach. His hands go around my waist as he pulls me in for a passionate kiss, His lips were so soft and supple and I could still taste the tangy remnants of the whisky he had been drinking earlier.

I melted into the kiss as his tongue slipped into her mouth, exploring every inch and corner. I responded to his kisses, kissing him so hungrily, pouring all my desires into it, desires that I never knew existed. He slid one hand under my gown, caressing my thighs while he placed the other hand at the back of my head and deepened our kiss, sucking at my lips and tongue.

I got so intoxicated and all sane thoughts flew out the window as I wrapped my hands around his neck and responded with equal desires, moaning out softly and kissing him back. His hands moved up my thighs and found their way into my thong, he cupped my sex and moaned loudly, my voice sounding alien to me. I bucked my hips forward, grinding against his hard dick.

I was so aroused that I forget about my plans. I even forget about my thirst for revenge, all I desired was to quench these burning desires. I need to snap out of this, I’m losing to him, I’m letting him win. I can’t let him control me this way, it’s just not right. There is no way the moon goddess would give me this monster as a mate, it’s just not possible.

With his large hand on my waist, holding me in place, he brings down his lips and sucks on my marking spot, making me moan out louder than before as he sucks and bites at that spot. I’m so lost in our passionate moment, my head is urging me to stop this at once, but my body has other plans. He slipped a finger into my dripping-wet pussy, causing me to shiver in desire. That fucking did it, I shivered and broke off our kiss, pushing him away as my breathing came out hard and fast. I looked up and saw him smiling smugly, looking so pleased with his actions. It’s so infuriating to know that I have no control of my body when he is around me.

“You bastard!!!

What did you do to me?

I’m not your fucking ma…”

“You would never speak to me in that tone!” he cuts me off with a sharp look and I close my mouth shut immediately, his aura is too strong to dismiss. His eyes softens back as he turns around and made his way up the stairs.

“Are you going to stand there all night?” he asks me when he got to the top of the stairs and noticed that I was still planted in the same spot, looking like a freaking zombie. I forced my legs forward and climbed up the stairs, following him into an extremely large widely spaced bedroom. There is a king-sized bed in the middle laid with black and white bedsheets. The lighting in his bedroom is dim, but the white walls make it look brighter. The curtains are drawn close, and the bedside lamp is on but it’s also dim. There are two doors across the room and I’m sure it leads to a bathroom and a walk-in closet. He sure knows how to spend his money, everything in this house, the design and decorations are extravagant, but it has a hint of elegance and it suits his personality.

I was right when I said that my spray messes with my wolf. Now that the spray is gone, I can feel and smell better. His scent is more evident in this room, it’s swirling around and it fills my nostrils, making me unable to think clearly as it fills my head with different erotic thoughts. His scent is a mixture of pine and wood and although he is now in the bathroom having a shower, I could still feel his presence in this room.

“I.. I... I need my things,” I stuttered out, hating myself for losing my self-confidence in his presence.

“The omega’s moved your things to my closet,” he responded dryly as he took off his clothes and made his way to the bathroom.

How do I sleep in this room in this room with him, on the same bed without letting this sexual tension between us take over, the mate bond is so frustrating and annoying. While he is in the bathroom, I walked into the walk-in closet, and just like he said, my stuff was in there, just the way I left them in my bag. I sighed frustratedly when I realized that I didn’t pack any decent sleeping clothes. I had no choice, I had to settle on a sleeveless, see-through corset nightie with a thong. It’s either that or I go to bed in a party gown.

“Dear God, what did I do to be paired with the most ruthless and heartless man to ever walk this earth?

He can kill me in cold blood if he wishes to, no one would dare say anything to him or question his decision. The worst part of it all is that I can’t deny the attraction between us, I can’t deny our bond, it’s too strong to be ignored. I heard the door open and I turn to stare at the goddess of a man as he steps out of the bathroom with a towel hanging dangerously low on his hips, while he uses another to wipe his hair and body. I watched his muscles flexing as his hands move to wipe the water from his body. His hair is still wet and some droplets of clean sparkling waterfall down his neck, moving down to his chest before disappearing into the V-shape on his hips.

He is indeed gorgeous. He has dark curly hair, his eyes as blue as the sea and warm like the sky in summer, although his look is sharp and his features defined. He has a pointed nose with light stubble covering his jaw. He caught me staring and I don’t even try to hide the fact that I find him attractive. He looked into my eyes, walking towards me slowly. I felt trapped under his gaze and his scent hit me pretty hard, making me draw in a sharp breath as Alexia showed me erotic pictures of the both of us. He got close to me and circled around to stand behind me,

“I can smell your arousal, dear mate,” he whispers into my ears as he leans down and drops a light peck on my neck before turning to walk toward his closet. The sparks flew from the spot where he made contact with my skin and I felt the mate bond between us as my whole body shivered in need of his touch.

The monster!!!

Bastard!

He is taunting me with my feelings. He smirks as he walks away, leaving me standing in the middle of the room. The bastard must die tonight. I’ll make my move when he is asleep, I’ll fucking kill him before this bond grows stronger and turn me into a weak wolf.

I won’t let him win again.

Wait…

Let us go back a few years back, let me tell you how it all began…
