Gia Kalif was a rude and proud lady, who saw herself as the number one significant lady in the castle, aside from Alpha Knight’s sisters. She was the daughter of the Major General of Balendin, and held the position as the Chief Female Army Commander.
Her father was the third authority in the whole pack, and she was the first authority in the line of women affairs. So, she was quite important and was always patrolling up and down the pack castle bringing information or her own going about her own business.
Gia was extremely proud of her position in the pack. Even the Alpha’s sisters respected her, despite her being under them considering their Alpha blood. This made her think too high of herself. And it was the same reason she disliked the Alpha of the whole pack, he didn’t respect her or even consider her as significant. She thought he was too arrogant and narcissistic. Not realizing she was just like him, only he was a bit more of a jerk.
As she entered the elevator and watched the receding backs of Alpha Knight and his Beta, she took in a deep breath. She was getting a strange rage in her and she needed to calm down. It didn’t matter if there was finally going to be a Luna. She would still be the Chief Female Army Commander, the second lady in command.
“Second lady!” she fumed and punched the door of the elevator. She didn’t want to be second. She had to remain first lady in the pack. But that wasn’t possible now that he found his mate. Why didn’t she vie for that position earlier? She was blinded by her egoistic hatred towards him all these time.
As the elevator door dinged open, she had a firm look on her face. She knew how she was going to continue being the first lady. And that was by occupying the position of the first lady-The Luna Of Balendin Pack.

Olive’s eyes dimmed involuntarily as a mighty light flashed on her eyes even as she slept.
“She’s here,” a voice announced and more noises erupted in the background. Olive’s heart dropped out of her body for the hundredth time. This was it. Her execution.
She sat up and curled her legs to herself as the light flashed all over her. Two men walked inside and carried her up gently by her arms, as if she was an egg. They walked her out and every other person on their way parted. They kept walking but suddenly stopped. She was breathing heavily and her whole body was sore.
She however quickly realized why they had stopped-Alpha Knight had come. His rainy scent filled her insides and she got strengthened. She was fine. Her mate would protect her.
Her heart beat increased, but this time not out of fear. But at the thought of him being her mate. He would surely protect her, he was The Big Bad Alpha.
But, how could he be her mate? Wasn’t she overthinking this rubbish? Cynthia was with him. He was Cynthia’s mate.
Alpha Knight stopped walking immediately he saw them pulling her out from the gate of the dungeons. His heart literally stopped beating and everything went dead silent. Olive, his mate being pulled out of the dungeons in a castle where she was supposed to be Luna over. His jaw clenched and his fists balled.
‘Mate,’ his wolf growled hungrily and angrily in his head. He walked to her and carried her in his arms.
“Jake, cancel all my meetings for a week. And don’t reschedule no matter how urgent except if I permit it,” he ordered with a growl in his voice and sped out. Everyone looked wowed at the way he cared for that woman.
“Did he finally find his mate?” they began to ask themselves in hushed tones.
Olive closed her eyes as she felt the speed in which Wayne took. Soon, they were in the elevator going up. None spoke a word until they arrived in his large quarters upstairs. His private elevator dinged open and he stepped out with Olive in his hands.
His jaw was clenched and he refused to look down at her for fear of his anger losing control over her look. The smell of fresh blood just wouldn’t leave his nostrils and it angered him that it was his mate’s blood. He had never even felt this sort of anger in a long time. Now he knew why werewolves turned feral when their mates got hurt or killed. It was just natural.
Olive’s eyes opened and she looked at the place they had stepped into. It was a very large hall, like a lobby. The walls were all cream colored, with sparkling marble tiled floor. They were different paintings on the walls, and beautiful gold ornamental flowers were pinned all around the room. They was a fountain in the middle of the hall, and a large aquarium at one side. The room was spectacular. Plus, his scent was everywhere. She loved it.
Alpha Knight hurried through the hall and to a large golden double-door opposite the elevator at the other end of the hall. It opened on its own and he walked into a short but wide hallway with the same type of tiles and walls. One smaller double-door was right in front and he walked in. A beautiful bedroom came into view. It was large, same size as that hall. There were a lot of things inside, but the pounding headache Olive had, didn’t let her continue looking. She closed her eyes and only inhaled Wayne’s smell.
Wayne entered his bathroom immediately and while still holding Olive, he filled the bathtub with hot water. He sat her in and ripped off the maid uniform which she wore. He left her in her bra and undies only. His mind was numb as he walked around, grabbing ointments and soaps then pouring them into the water.
He got a towel, crouched down by her side and wiped the blood of her lips.
“Why did you leave that room?” he asked, speaking to her for the first time since he found her.
If only she had just stayed there in that room, he wouldn’t be wiping blood again.
“I’m sorry,” she mumbled and heaved a deep sigh. She opened her eyes and looked at Wayne who was looking deathly as he wiped her bruises. She was healing already and that gladdened him. He needed her to be whole.
Olive’s heartbeat increased as she stared as the exquisitely handsome man crouched beside her. He was handsome, no doubt. So masculine that she wanted to hold his firm body and look into his eyes while he pinned her to himself.
What would those red lips feel like on hers? Firm, strong and dominating. A smile broke out from her lips at that thought and Wayne’s brows furrowed.
“Something funny?” he asked and she flinched.
“I… no. I’m sorry,” she apologized again and looked down. The foam was all around her unclad body so she was well hidden. Wayne got on his feet and began to walk out.
“There’s a towel by you. When you’re done, come out. And don’t think about anything funny. I won’t spare that this time,” he commanded and banged the door behind him, making Olive almost flinch out of the bathtub. She didn’t waste too much time. She was out in ten minutes.
Wayne was looking out his glass window when he heard the door opening. He looked back and froze. Her black hair was now wet and it hugged her body like a wet silk cloth. If alluring was a creature. It would be her.
“Damn,” he purred in his head. Olive’s eyes looked up and met with his. No other sounds were made, no movements. Just staring, eyeball to eyeball. There was an invisible magnetic force that wouldn’t let him even move a degree to the other direction, away from her.
“You look beautiful, my mate,” he purred in satisfaction. He watched her eyes widen and her jaw drop open.
“M-mate?” she stuttered.
