The King's Wife Is The Alpha's Mate

EARLIER THAT NIGHT

It was before the storm started that a young boy was dragged and brought to a gathering of the clan of werewolves.

He was wearing clothes made from silk and other rich materials, but now it was covered in mud and ripped to shreds. All of his opulent clothing now meant nothing.

"Let me go!" The boy shouted and tried to break free from the chain that was around his neck. "You will regret taking me!"

The boy was being pulled like a dog in what appeared to be some gathering of werewolves.

"Insolent brat. Shut up." One of the men slapped the boy in the head and knocked him to the ground. "Bow your head down in front of the Alpha."

The boy raised his head and then met the eyes of a frightening man. If one could even call them a man. The boy was aware that there was no sane man that would act like this.

When they called the person the Alpha, the boy figured out that he was taken by the monsters that his father hated so much and had made it his mission to destroy all of them.

Oh.. he was taken by the enemy.

The Alpha was sitting on what seemed to be a throne made out of various bones and skulls. His gaze looked down coldly at him. "So this is the boy?"

"Yes, Alpha Leon."

"Pathetic." The Alpha grinned and looked at Nicholas with sadistic glee. "Your father and his kingdom rage against us, but it turns out that his own child is weak and soft."

"A pitiful comparison when our own cubs can kill a grown man." One of the wolf clan members declared amongst the crowd and eyed Nicholas with disgust.

The Alpha placed a hand underneath his chin and eyed the trembling boy. Even though the king\'s son was captured and shaking, he refused to back down from the Alpha\'s sight.

"I believe we can do that old fart a favor."

"Let us kill the boy, Alpha! Put his skull on the castles of the king and show them no mercy!"

"Kill the boy!"

The other people in the crowd began to chant eagerly.

"No." The Alpha growled and the circle of men and women around him became silent at once. "That is not enough."

"What do you have in mind, Alpha?" One of his right-hand men asked.

The Alpha looked down at the expression of the boy.

"Give this boy the gift of the goddess Luna," Alpha Leon said. "Then we shall see if the king will break his resolve once he sees that his own son is now one of us. Who does your father love more, boy? You or your kingdom?"

The chain around Nicholas\' neck was released. The boy quickly got up and tried to run away from them because he knew that fighting was out of his options.

One of the men grabbed Nicholas\'s head and slammed it into the ground. "This is the boy, Alpha."

Amongst the waiting crowd, the Alpha stood up and stepped forward towards Nicholas. He transformed into a large wolf with dark fur and extremely sharp fangs.

The Alpha pressed its paw on the boy\'s back and then bit at Nicholas\' neck.

Nicholas screamed in agony as the Alpha stepped away and then looked down at the bleeding boy. "Consider yourself blessed to receive our gift. But I wonder if you\'ll actually survive until you reach your kingdom again."

Nicholas looked up pale-faced at the large dark wolf, but then received a kick in the stomach.

"Run while you can, before we change our mind."

Nicholas looked at the werewolves with anger in his eyes, but then quickly turned around and started to run away from them. He didn\'t know where he was brought or how far the royal palace was from here, but he couldn\'t stay still and hoped for help to come..

The Alpha watched the boy run before he looked at the rest of his men. "Make sure the boy gets back to his kingdom."

"Do we have to carry him there, Alpha?"

"No. Do as you please. I don\'t care if he arrives there in one piece or not, just make sure he stays alive for the whole kingdom to see."

"We shall carry out your orders, Alpha!"

The Alpha\'s men transformed into their wolf forms and howled as the night started.

Nicholas looked back over his shoulder and saw the great number of wolves gathered together. The boy\'s burst of adrenaline in his blood made him dull the sense of pain awhile, but he started to run faster until he saw a forest in the distance.

Despite its frightening and dark appearance, Nicholas thought that it was the only way of escaping. The skies above him continued to grow dark and started to rumble.

Lightning streaked the sky for one moment and the outpour of heavens struck down from above. As the rain came down, only one thought came to Nicholas\' mind.

"They\'ll lose my scent in the rain and in the forest," Nicholas panted and kept running.

Even though Nicholas no longer looked back to check, the sound of howls and growls echoed into the night. A great number of werewolves chased after the boy relentlessly and without mercy, making him run faster and further away from the territory of the wolf clan.

Nicholas entered the forest as the rain poured harder. He ignored the pain and scratches as he rushed past branches, thistles and jumped past roots that twisted against the path in front of him.

The boy didn\'t have any idea where to go, he just wanted to escape from them. Nicholas heard and saw the howls of the werewolf clan start to lessen so he pushed himself further to finally get rid of them.

Before Nicholas knew it, the only thing he could hear in the forest was the sound of owls, crickets, and his own loud beating chest.

The rush of adrenaline finally left the boy as his pace slowed down to a crawl. The pain of the werewolf\'s bite throbbed and seared into pain that he almost fell down to his knees and gave up.

p But Nicholas didn\'t stop and kept moving, despite the throb of pain in each step.

He didn\'t want to die.

Before he knew it, the boy finally reached the outskirts of the forest and saw the sight of a small hut close by. He pushed himself one last time to reach the door of the hut and asked for help.

When the door opened, Nicholas passed out.
