DON'T TEMPT ME PREY

His breath came out at a shallow pace as he turned his gaze to Melantha, the glare on his face making him look like a scary demon.

Aeris stopped raking to look at him.

"WHAT'S GOING ON HERE" Declan asked ruefully, his fist folded tightly.

Aeris finally fell to her butt holding the ground with the most weak expression.

Declan stared from her to Melantha and Melantha gulped almost dissappearing from her skin.

"I.. I was just punishing her Alpha" She said with her head Howes as she fidgetted with her fingers.

"What right did you have to do that" Declan asked menacingly and she looked up sharply.

"I'm your Luna" She yelled and Declan's bloodshot eyes turned redder.

' You should end this bitch Declan' Ilan advised.

The anger from his wolf and him made him livid and he turned walking towards Aeris.

He shocked everyone including Aeris with his next action as he picked her up in his arms.

He walked forward and stopped.

" She shall suffer twice of what she made her suffer" Declan declared and Melantha's eyes widened.

"You promised my father you wouldn't hurt me, imagine what he'll do if he sees a single mark on my skin" Melantha yelled as the guards gripped her.

"He should come if he dares, I'll remind him who his Alpha is" Declan said and walked away.

Aeris's eyes were on him the whole while and as she came to the knowledge that he was gonna do the opposite of his promise because of what Melantha did to her to Melantha and was even ready to oppose her father, she couldn't help but stare.

He got to his room and he pushed the door open with his foot walking in.

✵AERIS POV ✵

He got to his bed and he placed me there and I could tell my blood wet the bed immediately.

The room was dark and as much as I hated to say, I loved the dark vibez.

I suddenly wished I had a dark room as mine instead of blue.

I raised my eyes to him to see him bringing some clothes and little cups containing treatment syrups.

I watched him as he sat on the bed, his face, a shade of darkness and missed with cold.

He was expressionless as usual.

There was something I wanted to clear out, something I wanted to get clear rather.

" Why do you pretend" I asked staring at him.

I was half naked in front of this damn bastard but that didn't really worry me.

I just wanted to know the reason for his pretense, making everyone scared and dread him when they should be plotting how to wipe him from earth.

" You do so well in actin, your people think you're a good Alpha, Declan but you're just a worthless trash who takes innocent lives" I seethed glaringly not caring if I called his name with no title behind it and he stopped wiping my wounds raising his golden red eyes which burned like flames to me.

"Did I take yours" He asked so freely and I scoffed lifting my upper body in anger, holding the bed for support since I was still weak.

"Bastard you took the lives of those who were close to me" I yelled.

"Call my name with respect" He said sounding so calm.

"And if I don't Declan, they did nothing, absolutely nothing" I yelled.

"You're crossing the line" He said again.

"I'on fucking care, you're a life ruined who killed my parents" I yelled, the pain returning to my chest and he suddenly came over me holding my neck with his huge palms and pinning me to the bed.

I choked under his hold staring at him with wide eyes as he stared back unmoving with his burning eyes.

"If I killed your parents then they probably deserved it" He yelled.

_

Declan eyes were red with fury as he held her neck.

'Idiot stop shouting at our mate' Ilan chided and Declan scoffed.

'She's too stubborn, and I don't want her as a mate, she acts tough but she isn't' Declan thought.

'Fool that's why you're her mate, to protect her' Ilan reminded and Declan scoffed again.

'I'm not her bodyguard' He said and focused on Aeris.

"You're heartless" She said looking so pained, the alpha released her neck.

"I've been told that a lotta times" He said coming down from the bed.

"They were innocent you fool" Aeris yelled.

"Then I wonder why I killed them" Declan said and walked away.

Aeris stared at the path he took and scoffed.

"I hate him" She whispered as Jasmine and Jessy ran in.

She sighed turning away lying on her side.

Declan walked outside to the foyer of the palace where he could view the entire kingdom.

He placed his palms there staring at the places he's managed to grow for centuries ago.

A figure suddenly walked beside him and he sighed.

"Whats the news" He asked Fillion.

"I've checked and confirm my suspicions that Ravenwood pack the lowest of all Wolves pack which you rule would dare have the heart to attack your village except they're backed up by a stronger force, a force which badly wants you out of your seat, we caught one of their members and they have the mark of a fang on their neck.

He isn't a member of Ravenwood. "Fillion said and Declan took a deep breath.

" Well then, only one clan who's beneath the borders of Wolves, and rules themselves only must have backed up Ravenwood "Declan said and turned to face Fillion.

" I think he's back "He said and Declan nodded.

" The bastard that made me release Tharros is back.... My bastard brother.... Logan "He seethe and turned his head to the north pole of the kingdom.

✵ DARKFANG CLAN ✵

Darkfang clan, the only wolves that opposed Ember Wolves with hate.

It was far beyond the Ember Wolves Borders.

You could say it was a wolf clan that ruled themselve.

While, Declan ruled the entire wolf clan within the wolves district, this clan was ruled by someone else outside the wolves district.

It was a district of its own.

A kingdom of its own.

Ruled by one person.

Logan Theon, Declan's brother, he was the reason Tharros was released by Declan.

The kingdom of Darkfang was large in all corners.

The borders was strictly and strongly protected by angry wolves.

The mark of Dark fangs on their neck.

There was a statue of a wolf biting at the neck of another wolf.

Strong pillers held the building upright, the red color of the castle was a scare on its own.

At the top most part of the building, gliding past the glamorous emerald walls, one would get to a wide window that was open and that window led to a room, glamored with red stones.

Candlelabra were at the four corners of the dark room, no light, that was the only thing lighting up the room as it reflected on the red stones.

A toned back having a long scar like the slash of a sword caused it flexed his bulging muscles.

He slowly turned around with a smirk on his face.

There was a scar like a sword slash on his cheek too.

Logan Theon. Ruler of Darkfang.

The door to his room was suddenly pushed open and a guy wearing a dark cloak above his head that covered his eyes walked in.

The cloak reached his foot.

He was Logan's inside man in Ember Wolves castle.

" What's the news, it better be good" Logan said still smiling.

"They now have thoughts of your return, and I have information about the Alphas special sword.

It's a silver sword gotten from the human world" The unknown guy said and Logan smiled wider.

"Interesting" He said and walked to the mirror, he took his hand to his face and began caressing his scar staring at it as a memory of how the sword cut through the air and cut his face deeply.

"Interesting indeed" He said and smiled more widely.

"Ruler of Ravenwood pack is here. He demands compensation for the lost lives of his men" The unknown guy said still and Logan chuckled.

"Of course bring him here." The unknown guy left and Logan continued caressing the scar.

He soon arrived with the Alpha of Ravenwood.

Logan turned to face him and he smiled.

"I'll compensate you now" He said and walked to the wall red stone reflecting the candle light. He dug his nails on it and pulled out a sword. He stared obsessively at it.

"Alpha, how's this going to compensate me" The Alpha of Ravenwood asked.

"I'll show you" Logan smiled and the next thing the sword passed through The Alphas neck.

His eyes widened as he gagged blood pooling out of his mouth and neck.

He was pulled out by the guy and Logan laughed staring at the sword.

"A silver sword eh" He laughed again and began caressing his scar.

✵EMBER WOLVES DISTRICT ✵

MELANTHA'S ROOM *

Melantha weakly walked inside her room, blood all over her body , her body condition was more worse than Aeris's.

Shivani ran in after her mistress and she rushed to get the healing materials.

Melantha fell on the bed and she winced loudly.

"It hurts it fuckin' hurts" Melantha groaned closing her eyes as the pains tore her inside.

"So sorry Luna" Shivani panicked and brought out the clothe to wipe the blood on her.

"Ahhhh. Careful bitch" She winced.

Shivani became more careful with her doings and Melantha just kept up her wincing.

"So sorry" Shivani said blowing air on her wounds.

Melantha suddenly stood up and she kicked the vase off the table in anger.

" He punished me cause of that wench. That dirty bitch, how could he.." Melantha seethed fuming terribly.

"Luna calm down" Shivani pleaded and Melantha growled angrily shifting fully. Her eyes green like the sea.

"Luna" Shivani called as Melantha ran out in her wolf form, a pretty white wolf.

Melantha ran outside her room through the hallways and Shivani sighed.

_AERIS'S ROOM_

Aeris winced as Jasmine and Jessy washed her wounds with clean water.

The whips were spiked with ginger and mountain ash so the result was bound to be painful.

"Hmm, the Alpha let's you stay in his room quite a lot recently Aeris" Jasmine winked and Jessy smiled knowingly.

"I noticed as well" Jessy giggled.

"You girls, think what you want" Aeris rolled her eyes.

"That bastard is nothing to me" Aeris said.

"Ohhh Aeris" Jessy shook her head.

They were done with the bath and Aeris came out of the water.

Jessy admired her skin immediately.

" Aeris you've got the perfect skin and body to seduce a man, and you smell like Jasmine" Jessy said and Jasmine blinked.

"Like me" Jasmine pointed and Jessy knocked her head.

"Not you silly" Jessy smiled as they walked into the Alphas room.

"I'll go get your clothes" Jessy said.

"Jessy can you get me something very light, I need air if I want my wounds to heal quick" Aeris said and Jasmine nodded.

"Let's get your wounds treated" Jasmine said bringing takin the ointments from where Declan dropped them.

Aeris suddenly turned sad.

"What" Jasmine asked caringly as she cleansed the wound.

"I missed Caelan and Isla, my best, I wanna see them" She whispered and Jasmine sighed.

"Am sure they're okay" she assured and Aeris sighed. Jessy ran in immediately.

"Look what I got" She said waving the net like free black gown.

"Looks cool" Aeris complimented

__

They were currently walking down the hall and throats kept gulping and necks kept turning as Aeris passed by.

The gown was long at the back but it had a V flower like opening from the toe to her mid thigh.

Her fresh white legs was the view for all.

The whips mark was at her back so her skin was outstanding as the clothe covered it.

She walked out the door of the castle and turned to face Jasmine and Jessy.

"I'll continue from here, thanks" She said and turned walking away.

Jasmine and Jessy exchanged looks and sighed.

Aeria walked around the castle, taking in every place to remember.

She got to the back of the castle and she blinked when she saw a forest ahead.

She boldly treaded the forest and she got to the middle.

She frowned when she saw a house there, splendidly built.

"What psycho makes a home in a forest" She wondered and continued further.

She walked past the house exploring the forest when the blissful smell of flowers reached her nose.

She walked towards the place and she gasped seeing a garden specially cut out from the forest.

She smiled walking in.

It reminded her so much of the garden back at her house where she'll sit and play the flute.

Now she wished her companion was here.

She walked into the garden and and she smiled as the soft wind blew her hair.

She giggled walking further in loving the way the flowers carressed her thighs.

She picked two flowers and glued them to her hair.

She sat down softly and she stretched her body.

She pushed her hair to from her neck to her chest and she gently caressed it smiling.

She rubbed her neck flexing.

The burning eyes of someone pierced her skin and she was forced to look at the side.

There the Alpha sat, his eyes glued to her.

Aeris scoffed and looked away.

"You're here too" She said and continued rubbing her neck loving the feel of the wind here and the scent of the garden.

Declan's throat bopped watching as her fingers slid up and down her neck.

"What are you wearing" He asked.

"You have eyes" She retorted and his throat bopped again.

"Stop doing that" He whispered huskily.

"What" Aeris frowned.

"Stop that" He said again.

Aeris paused her acts and scoffed.

"Don't tell me what to do." Aeris stubbornly rebuffed.

Declan stood and he walked towards her stopping in front of her.

"I said stop that" He glared.

"Why, am I too attractive" Aeris suddenly blinked and bit her lips seductively.

Declan suddenly pushed her to the the ground and he bared his fangs taking his teeth to her neck.

Aeris's eyes widened as he flipped his tongue on the most sensitive part of her neck.

"Don't Tempt Me.. Prey.."
