Page 2 of Wolf Alpha's Forbidden Affair

He was convicted on treason (he did nothing of the sort), and he was sentenced to exile. He left willingly but the night we were going, he was killed. I can remember seeing the terror on his face when the blade pierced his body and right through his heart. I remember screaming his name, screaming for his help. I didn’t know what was happening at that moment, but I was afraid. I was afraid for him. I was afraid of what was going to happen next.

Dad died that night, and I was unable to even grieve for him.

The rest of us were cast out, no longer able to reside in the one place that we called home. I hated them for what they did to us because our parents didn’t do anything. Dad didn’t commit treason. Mom didn’t deserve to lose her mate. She did though, and there was nothing that I could do about it. There would be nothing that I would be able to do about it. There would be nothing that I would be able to do to make sure that nobody else died.

Mom died about four months later and I knew it was due to heartbreak. I had to be there for my siblings and make sure that they were safe. They were younger than me. They had to look up to me because I was the only one who could protect him. I was the only one who could remain at their side and make sure that they were alive. If I did that, I think that I could honor my parents’ legacy and I would make sure that nobody else got hurt.

It was the right thing to do. I thought that it was going to go the way that I needed it to, but I was wrong. I was so wrong. Everything that I have done. Everything that I have built up to. I lost it all. I lost everything. I lost everyone that I cared about, and I lost the people I cared so much about.

They were murdered by Royal guards for straying too close to the border. But it wasn’t them who had crossed it. When I came across their bodies as the Royal guards were doing whatever they wanted, I ended up killing them and that’s when I swore that I wouldn’t allow them to do this anymore. I wouldn’t be able to stand it.

I won’t let my family get screwed over the way that they died, and I would not let their deaths go in vain. I had to make sure that the Royal Kingdom would pay for this. They couldn’t just get away with it. There’s no way…

Unfortunately, some things don’t go the way that we wish it to. I have been through a lot in my life, and I have done things that I’m not proud of. I have spilled blood and I have shown no mercy. I couldn’t because if I did, I would be deemed weak and I couldn’t let that happen. Not now at least. I’m sure everyone could understand where I was coming from and why I didn’t allow all of this to happen but what I don’t get is why this had to happen.

“Alpha,” One of my men barges in, something you don’t do but he must have to say something important, “you need to see this… We caught a Royal…”

Now that I wasn’t expecting at all.

Chapter Three

Addison

I have been tied up and they obviously don’t give a damn about me or what I think. I don’t think that they even care that I am female. I think they have something against me, and they might try to kill me. I’m afraid though. I’m afraid of what is going to come to me if I don’t end up doing as they say. Would they kill me? Would they torture me? Would they end up doing much worse that would make me wish that I was dead?

I couldn’t be sure, but I didn’t give them the satisfaction of showing them that I was afraid. It was a bad idea because of everything that I have been through, and I know what Rogues are capable of. I know what they can do to me, and I know that they might end up killing me if I make one wrong move.

I jerk my chin up into the air and I look at him defiantly, feeling my heart pounding in my chest. I couldn’t be sure of what was going to happen but what I did know was that I couldn’t allow this to go down the road that I thought it would. It seems like they are waiting for someone to decide what to do with me. They might just tear me to shreds and do something to me about it, but I couldn’t be completely certain about that though.

“What are you going to do about me?” I suddenly speak up, seeing how they turn to glare at me.

I know that they probably want to murder me for even daring to speak up, but I can’t do this for long. I just kneel there, my head lowered as my heart is pounding in my chest. I hate what I have become, and I hate what I have been having to deal with. Everything that I have been through hasn’t been easy at all, and it seems like I might end up getting screwed.

“Alpha, she is here.” I hear someone finally speak up.

I look up and that’s when I see that I am gazing into the eyes of a monster. His eyes are an icy blue and cold, like he has no emotion, and he has a golden hue to his hair that kind of reminds me of sunlight. He’s tall and muscular, very broad in that aspect, and he’s covered in scars. He has had his number of fights before, and I know he is dangerous. I know who he has to be.

The Rogue Alpha.

The one that my family has warned me about before.

My heart is pounding even more so in my chest as he walks closer, feeling like I might be going crazy. I couldn’t be sure what he was going to do right now, but it’s becoming clearer what is going to happen between us. He grips my chin, his eyes scanning me up and down as he examines me. I was shocked though at the electricity from his touch, and I noticed almost immediately that he was surprised as well. I’m not sure if he was thinking the same thing but I did want to ask him if he knew that I was his fated mate…

I am fated for someone like him.

“Princess Addison.” He murmurs coldly, tilting his head to the side, “What are you doing here? Why are you here? I wouldn’t expect you to ever be in Rogue territory.”

“I ran away.” I admit to him, feeling like I could trust him or something, “I couldn’t stand what was going on and I knew I had to run, or they would force it upon me. I’m sure you understand.”

I could be testing his patience, but he wouldn’t try to kill me, not when he knows that he is my fated mate. Mates can’t kill one another even though he could try to, but I keep wondering what might end up happening between us if I allow him to have me. I know the stories of fated mates, but I never expected to find mine. Is he going to accept me? I think he is debating on it as well.

“I don’t get why you are here, but you are my prisoner now until I decide what to do with you.” He murmurs coldly, letting go of my chin like he had just been stung, “I hope you know that I have no reason to accept you as my mate. It would be foolish of me to accept you like that. It would be foolish of me to ever want you as a mate either.”

That’s like a punch to the gut and I see the realization in the eyes of those around us. I don’t know what to say or do, but I want to cry. It feels like a rejection even though he doesn’t do it properly. I’m sure everyone is confused as to why he is treating his fated mate this way because it’s just like throwing away what the Moon Goddess wanted from us. I wish that I could say something more from that, I wish that I could have done more, but it has become more obvious to me that my being his fated mate isn’t going to save me.

“I don’t care who you are.” He murmurs coldly, shaking his head back and forth, “The only thing that matters is that you know your place and you know when to stop. I’m not going to show you mercy if you don’t cooperate. Just because I can’t kill you, it doesn’t mean that someone else won’t.”

“I wouldn’t expect nothing less from a Rogue.” I decide to murmur coldly, not letting him get to me.
