Chapter 19
Astra started to hum chants for Cora .
The whole place turned dark and black smoke enveloped the surroundings as the chanting became louder.
Cora feels strange about her body. Her fur started to appear longer without her knowledge and her fangs sharpened like a sword. She felt something growing from her head like horns and her jaws began to stretch longer from her usual werewolf face.
Astra continued humming the chants and when she stopped, Cora is now fully transformed into an ugly creature with multiple yellow eyes, paws, and jaws.
"Your wish is granted!", Astra finally finish her charts.
Cora let out a howling sound to her new transformation.
End of flashbacks
Ashina woke up feeling dizzy but she managed to pull her body out from her bed to look for Alba beside her room.
She slowly opened it but she quickly closes it back when she saw her kneeling in front of a palace' soldier doing dirty things on his underpants.
She still heard the guy groaning in ecstasy from the outside. She just wants to ask her about Asher but she changes her mind. She was about to go when the guy came out rushing back to his post.
Ashina POV
I saw Alba wiping her mouth and bind her hair into a bun.
I feel gross and pity for her. She's too young to be treated like a whore. I am still lucky that nobody marks me even the Alpha King. She saw me and called me to come inside.
"Did you saw us? I'm sorry for that."
She simply told me.
I can still smell the scent of her visitor's orgasms.
I don't want to be rude to her but what she's doing is wrong and immoral.
"Yes, but don't worry I didn't see anything! A bit ---uhm-", I just stop there because I think I hurt Alba with my choice of words but she's not.
"It's okay. It's part of my job here too.
To make everyone satisfied." She mumbled.
She was not affected and I am relieved to know that.
"Why you're here? You supposed to be with your master Dante but why you're not busy at all?", she questioned me.
The truth was Asher is now my master and Dante agreed but I don't know if he had anything to do with me.
" Ahm, may I know if you know Asher, Dante 's twin brother?", I was hesitant to ask her since she's too young to know him because I heard no one thought that the Alpha King has a twin.
I saw Alba 's eyebrows crossed.
"I don't know. I came here knowing that the Queen has only one son and he was Dante . Why? I too was surprised to hear that his twin came." After hearing it, I started to get confused.
"Ah, I see. Well, thank you. I gotta go since Asher is now my master." | bid her goodbye and she set a light smile on her face.
Dante can't sleep a wink last night because every time he closes his eyes, the face of his omega slave keeps
appearing in his sights.
"Fuck! Why she won't leave me alone?", he muttered in anger after rinsing his face with warm water from the bathroom sink.
He just got up and his body felt numb to numerous hunting they did
yesterday with Caleb and Asher. Lyca looks exhausted and annoyed when her husband came to take her home.
Dante wondering what was his mom did to Lyca again to make her act like that.
He knows the Queen's behavior especially when she saw a high-rank she-wolf. Of course, she was fond of testing their ability especially when it comes to read one's mind and find someone's links even it was unreachable to find. She wanted to test if they were suitable to be the Luna of the packs. She's a perfectionist and cruel.
Dante stretches his arms and flexes his biceps as he opened the window from his room to see the morning sunshine. After sighting mountains from his fifth terrace room outside the wall, he decided to go outside to check the newly trained puffs at the Arena, a training place in the Shadowborn Kingdom.
The Delta Packs are in charge of the spars and training until the trainee will soon be announced and rewarded as the Hugo s.
"Good morning, Dante !", his brother
Asher greeted him while Ashina was with him.
Dante 's eyebrows crossed to see her beside his twin brother.
"What are you doing here? You supposed to be cleaning at the kitchen with Alba !", he growled at her.
Ashina was about to follow his orders when Asher holds her arms.
"Stay here! Have you forgotten about our deal? Did you reject her right? I am now her master." Asher said proudly keeping Ashina behind him.
"What? Yes, I rejected her but I still own her. I am the Alpha King of this palace.
This is my place and I am the law here."
The twins are fighting and Ashina didn't know what to do.
The Delta head officer Calvis came to stop them.
"Easy, two Mr. Kings. What a nice day to start a fight. Omega girl, will you check Alba in the kitchen. You supposed to help her since you're the palace, servant - -", Delta Calvis stop when Dante interrupted him.
"For your information, she's not the palace servant because he's my slave. I chose her on my birthday." He told them and went to pull her closer beside him and Ashina didn't struggle.
Asher just took a deep sigh and unexpectedly smiled at his brother.
"Don't worry, you can still own her as your slave but I can take her as my mate since you rejected her right?", Asher informed his twin brother with sarcasm.
He knew very well how arrogant and short-tempered his brother was. Their mom Aurelia always telling him about his brother Dante through Astra's magic.
Well, it's the secrets between him and his mom from his brother Dante .
Dante knew his brother was right that he already rejected Ashina so he had nothing to do with her especially when it comes to marking her.
He shifted his gaze at Asher while
Calvis scratch his head to understand them.
"Yeah, you're right. You can date all night but during her work hours, she's going to stay with me, okay?", Dante set another deal even he seems hesitant about his decision about rejecting her.
His wolf Hugo wants her so badly but he keeps resisting it. He knew how his wolf was hurt by him but it's his choice not to mark his mate because he's an Alpha of the Moonshadow packs and he didn't want to harm his position because of an Omega wolf like her.
About the monster thing, the investigation continues even Asher free Ashina from the dungeon.
"Deal?", Asher extends his hands to his brother for a shake.
Ashina was still there waiting for their command.
Dante took a deep breath and accepted Asher's handshake.
"Deal!", he said and start that day, both of them became on good terms.
While the twin brothers are now good friends over Dante 's slave Ashina , Enzo 's eyes were fiercely staring at her. He's still longing for her soft lips, brown beautiful eyes, and sexy curves.
"Soon, I'II make you mine." He murmured behind the door of the Arena.
He didn't know that Ashina scented him since they didn't know that she's more than an omega. She noticed his deep eyes at the peripheral of her eyes but she behaved like she didn't saw him.
Ashina had no idea why this twin was so obsessed with her when they thought that she was a useless Omega in their eyes.
She misses her family so much. She wanted to go home but Dante won't let her. She only had one plan, she must ask Enzo 's help. She's not safe here and her real identity wasn't revealed yet by anyone but she can sense that Dante recognized her that moment their eyes met.
The palace thought that the threat has finally over but they had no idea that the teal monster was outside the wall, lurking behind bushes, and attacks the wanderer packs one by one.
"Awoooo!!!, Dante and Asher heard continuous howling sounds from the Hugo soldiers outside the gate.
They gaze at each other after hearing it.
"This is bad!", both of them mumbled and shifted themselves in their wolf form and race outside the palace.
When they came, Enzo was there clearing the area of dead bodies of their kind.
" The attack was so fast. The duration of the assault range between a split second.
This is scary." He told the twins.
Asher realizes how and when the monster started his attacks. Based on the Moonshadow 's scratches and bites, as their flesh still looks fresh, It happened five minutes ago when they're busy clashing inside the Arena.
He holds his chin and made his hypothesis.
"I think the monster knew us!", he said and Dante 's eyes narrowed at the nonentity.
