Ashes To Vegeance

Chapter Three

ALEX'S POV

"How was I able to sleep conveniently throughout the night without pain for the first time in

months?"

I kept whispering to myself in confusion and intrigue. I couldn't shake off my feelings that

something was different.

As the Alpha King, although I'm married to Ariana, the absence of my mate has kept me in the

bondage of sleepless nights for months. How on earth was it then possible for me to fall into a

deep sleep without pain last night?

"Could that female servant be my mate?" I asked myself. I remember I marked her, but the mark

was not there when I checked her this morning.

"Could it also be that I didn't check very well?" I had lost myself in the conversation with myself

as the truth continued to unfold.

I had found out about it early in the morning when I was about to choke her to death. A sharp pain I couldn't resist in my chest felt as if I was hurting someone connected to my soul. This

It brings more uncertainty.

"I need to understand this strange connection I feel towards her. "I planned to summon her again

to my chamber."

"Get Robert to my chamber now," I instructed one of the Omegas.

"Acknowledged, my king," he replied and blurted out.

ARIANA'S POV

The only thing that can make Alpha sleep peacefully at night is the presence of his mate, so if

you can make me understand what you have been saying. I'd be glad". Said Ariana. "

I'm more than confused about it because Alpha said he could remember he marked her, but the

mark was not there again.

I became more curious about Robert's response. The feeling

that I'm about to have a rival in the pack knowing full well of my inability to produce an heir,

which was the major reason behind the arranged marriage between me and Alpha. I couldn't

bear to let go of the Luna title or share Alpha with anyone.......

One of the omegas spurted and called to Robert: "The alpha requests your presence now," he

said with respect.

I looked at Robert's face with fear mixed with surprise.

CAROLINE'S POV

A while later, I found myself dressed up with the mission to serve Alpha in his chamber again

this night. Every nerve in my body was alight with tension as I moved closer to his chamber; my

heart was racing with a mix of fear and anticipation.

As the door swung open, Alex's piercing gaze met mine, and my skin prickled with unease. He

seemed different tonight, his eyes holding a hint of curiosity and a dash of warning.

"Come closer," Alex's deep voice commanded, his tone softer than the previous night. I

hesitated for a moment before approaching the bed, my eyes fixed on Alex's.

Immediately I drew closer, Alex's senses went on high alert, and he could feel his pain and

discomfort from the previous night slowly dissipating. He scented the air, and his eyes widened

as he detected the familiar scent he had caught the night before-the scent of his mate.

I sensed Alex's gaze on me. "He is too handsome for an Alpha," I whispered to myself, and

immediately I shook off the haze. I felt my cheeks flush; I looked down instantly, trying to hide

my emotions. But Alex's eyes were fixed on me, taking in every detail of my face, my body

language, and my scent.

Without a word, Alex reached out and gently grasped my wrist; he pulled me closer. My heart

skipped a beat, a shockwave ran through my system , Alex's touch seemed to ignite a fire within

me, and I knew in that moment that I was indeed his mate.

As Alex's eyes locked onto mine, he saw the same spark of recognition, and I felt the

connection too. The air was charged with tension, and the only sound was the beating of their

hearts, pounding in unison.

"Where is the mark I gave you yesterday?" His voice runs through the room as he asks softly.

I didn't sustain any wounds or injuries for more than a night; the mark disappeared, but I still feel

the pain, "I replied, but with the feminine voice within me." I had lost the reality of my existence

for a minute, I couldn't control the heat generated by me as my heart kept pondering

and beating faster.

Alex was surprised to hear that the wound had disappeared; his eyes widened with shock as his grip

on my wrist tightened, and he pulled me closer, his face inches from mine.

"You," he whispered, his voice husky with emotion. "You're mine." "Yes." My response was a

barely audible whisper.

Alpha Alex made an announcement to summon the entire pack; he already planned to make his

mate known.

"I will crown you my Luna." His demeanor softened with a confident smile on his face as he

gently touched my face.

"But, I-I'm from Mount Doom... "I don't care which of the pack you belong to," Alpha interrupted

as I was about to tell him how I ended up in their pack.

"Thank you for coming soon." He gently picked a strand of my hair off my face as he kissed

my forehead and left the room.

He wasn't interested in the affairs of the pack right from the beginning; the absence of his mate

coupled with sleepless nights has been the burden he has been carrying.

Everything is happening with speed like a dream; my heart is beating faster every second.

Not long after Alpha left the room, Nina and one female servant sprinted in. My heart skipped a

bit. "Why are they here for me again?" I whispered to myself. The presence of the female head

servants snapped me back into my consciousness.

"My lady, everything is ready," she said.

I found myself dressed up and escorted to the large forest where they normally have their pack

meetings.

The alpha stood before the gathered pack, a confident smile on his face. "I have an

announcement to make," he declared. The clearing echoed with the sound of his voice.

"I've found my true mate, and she will be our new Luna."

The pack's attention shifted to me standing beside him, and gasps rippled through the crowd.

The current Luna, his wife, Ariana, stepped forward, her eyes blazing with fury.
