Chapter 2

" No..Noo.. Domenico..I am not.. going with him.. Never..He is a monster..He killed my mate..", Alessia sobbed through her broken voice, tears rolling from her eyes. It took only a few moments to be known by everyone that she was now mated to the dragon king, Raven Grooves.

Domenico exhaled heavily in this complicated situation. He was secretly thankful to the king, Raven that he ordered to stop the war as soon as he recognized his mate. They had a few more guards left only or else they were going to be killed too.

Alessia was inside the cave now, running around crazily.

Why Goddess? Why? How could she accept the man who killed her love?

Domenico understood Luna's pain. Even a day didn't pass away as her mate was killed. It was impossible to heal a heart within a day. But Domineco understood the urgency of the situation. He kept persuading her as the king and princes were waiting outside,

" My Luna! Think about the consequences first! If you refuse to accept him as your mate, none of us will stay alive. Have you seen the situation? Those dragons are just waiting for our blood. What about Princess Kayla? Have you thought about her life? "

All the defense broke around her. Her tearful eyes lifted to find Kayla standing in a corner, crying silently. She had already been claimed by the other prince. In no way, they were going to leave her here. She would be killed if she didn't accompany her. Then Alessia had a flashback with her mate. After lovemaking, she made a sweet promise to him that she would always protect his pack. She assumed that it was time to repay his love.

Alessia's choked voice echoed inside the cave lowly,

" I..I will..go.. with him..."

" You should just go and drag her out, brother!", the hot-tempered first prince hissed, casting a doubtful glare at the 8th prince of this kingdom who was king by luck.

Raven Grooves stood in his powerful glory. His slightly grown-up hair brushed past against the air. His red eyes were dark and terrifying today, rage boiling through his mind. It seemed like everyone was right about calling him 'ominous'. Not only did he have to kill his father, he got an Alpha mate now. The first prince continued growling furiously, staring at the cave ahead where they were discussing,

" In no way, our people are going to accept her."

Raven knew all these too well. It was already hard to win over his people's hearts after killing the previous king. Now, in addition, his mate was going to cause another havoc.

" RICHARD!", came a growling voice from the king whose rage was rising. Richard was the fourth prince of their kingdom. At the same time, he was favored by the king for his wise brain. Richard caught the underlying meaning behind his single word. He was asking him to drag that woman out who fled away after calling the king 'her mate'.

But before Richard could take his step, Domineco came outside with Alessia and Kayla. The atmosphere tensed for a while. The enemies shared a murderous look but none of them talked since the king was here.

Domineco had no choice but to bow at the Royals, standing out of their cave. He revealed in a firm voice,

" Our Luna is willing to go with you, Your Highness but the war must be needed."

The first prince intervened in a raged voice, forwarding hastily,

" How dare you make such an audacious request! "

Raven Grooves finally made his presence clear, his colorful eyes rested on the grim-faced girl who never looked up at him for once,

" You are forgetting who is the king here, Rasond."

The first prince had to seal his lips up. Fuming in anger, he stepped back, looking grieved.

Was he already falling for his mate?

Raven replied, giving her a long emotionless stare,

" It will. Since she is my mate, I can't guarantee what will happen to her later on. The war is dismissed for this time!"

The dragon kingdom was already cheering for their victory, unaware of the disaster that happened on the battlefield. Raven with Alessia and other princes arrived at the entrance. Those showers of flowers stopped abruptly once they spotted the two werewolf girls behind. Whisper echoed around the corner but Raven was ignoring everything for someone who was yet to appear.

Alessia felt terrible inside her heart. Her people lost lives, and so many werewolves lost their mates. How could these people rejoice like nothing happened?

Soon, a long lady walked towards them, wearing a white gown. She looked around the middle-aged. Sienna barely glanced at her and then wondered about her identity.

The woman stopped in front of the king and boasted gloriously without noticing the girls behind,

" Long Live The King! How come I can't smell blood from you?"

Helena Montana was the woman who raised Raven after his mother's dismal. At the same time, she held an important position in his court and heart. It was nothing unknown that Helena was deeply respected by the king.

Raven closed his eyes tightly as if he had been ashamed to let her know. Taking a sharp breath, he blurted taking a sharp breath,

" I..I have found my mate, aunt..This girl.. She is the Luna of their pack.."

The audience gasped in horror, their eyes widening in disbelief. Even Helena gave Alessia a distasteful glare. She moved to check on her, eyeing from head to toe then stopped over her stomach with a tight frown. Helena had great medical skills. If it wasn't for her royal duties, she would have been a well-known healer already.

After she put a hand on Alessia's stomach, her face darkened in rage. She gritted her words out, stunning everyone around once again,

" She...she is pregnant...Your Highness..."
