Immortal Desire
Chapter 21

Several miles away from the southern borders of the empire, there was a kingdom ruled by the three Alphas of the beasts; the white alpha of the werewolves, the red alpha of the werelions, and the blue alpha of the weretigers. Joining their forces and preparing to start a war against the b***d tribe or known as the vampire race.

Mountains have always surrounded the Vacil Empire － a haven for vampires. It was beneficial for the people’s safety against intruders. That, if the infiltrators were humans who just want to rob the empire’s territories. But for the beast tribe, it was their playing ground. They were naturally adept with nature. Just like how the werewolf alpha got in the vampire’s lord territory in the midst of a vast forest and stole his woman.

“She’s a goddess,” Mathew, the white alpha whispered to himself, looking at Latina’s sleeping face. It was a rough journey, but he managed to return to his palace. The lady was unconscious, so he let her rest on his bed.

The Alpha smiled fondly. He never met such a beautiful woman. Although he got to sleep with the most lovely women in the pack and even from other packs, Latina’s beauty remained top-notch. A pair of almond-shaped eyes with rich brown orbs, cute button-nose, well-sculpted plump lips－ naturally coated with a reddish tint. Her hair as black as the moonless night sky, its strands messily falling down her face but wasn’t enough to obscure her charm as her unblemished skin was the fairest.

Mathew intended to kill the vampire lord, all hail to this goddess-like lady, he changed his plan instantly. After seeing Latina wandering in the forest that morning, he couldn’t get his eyes off her. Aside from her angelic attributes, the alpha was enticed by her unique sweet scent which he hadn’t encountered with any woman he held in his arms before. He followed her until she took off her clothes to bathe, soaking her bare skin in the lake. Deeply moved by Latina’s allure, Mathew hoped to have her. He tried to make a move, but the vampire lord interrupted him. “Tsk, that demon in human skin. I wonder what he’ll look like when he finds out that I got his plaything,” the alpha snickered when he recalled how the vampire lord ruined his time alone with the lady.

“It’s okay, darling,” he whispered and brushed his fingers on her face. “I’ll treat you better, so don’t worry about that bastard anymore.” Mathew pressed his lips on Latina’s. It was a gentle smack, no tongue included. He smiled and licked his lips after letting go of the other. “I don’t want to take advantage of you; rather, I wish you to beg me if possible. That bastard must have been forcing you all this time but I won’t.”

The werewolf alpha turned his back to leave his quarters. He pushed the door open, careful not to wake up his captive. His women welcomed Mathew when he stepped out of the room, leaving him speechless. He allowed them to hurl over him, but when one of them attempted for a k**s, the alpha growled, pushing them away from him.

“Enough,” he said in his most serious tone. He just kissed Latina and didn’t want to taint his lips with others.

“Sire,” a young girl with sparkling green eyes, called him. She bent her head down and continued, “I’m done preparing your bath.” Mathew nodded and gestured to the women to leave first, which they followed. He sighed when the girl remained quiet.

“Azrene,” Mathew called the girl. “You don’t have to be so formal in front of me. I’m your brother,” he added.

“Sire,” Azrene politely responded. “I sincerely apologize if I have offended you. But let me remind you, Sir, I am a daughter of a concubine and you are the son of the first Alpha’s mate,” she paused and lifted her face. “Therefore, I’m nothing but one of your subordinates,” she continued. “I chose to be your attendant rather than to be one of your women. I hope Sire will always remember,” Azrene added.

The alpha clicked his tongue in frustration. “Whatever. Lead the way to the bath and help me out,” he ordered. “You insisted on being my servant, then stop dawdling.”

“At your service, Sire.”

Latina coughed hard when she sniffed something bad. She opened her eyes and found a pretty girl sitting beside her, holding a pouch which she guessed was the source of the awful stink.

“It worked,” the girl said in her monotone voice. She pushed the window open and threw the purse outside. The smell was gone, and the fresh air enveloped the room.

“What was that? Who are you? Where am I?” Latina asked. She was not in Sebastian’s mansion, and she felt a distinct vibe coming from the girl.

“Cow’s crap. My name is Azrene. You’re in the palace of Wyslien, on the werewolf Alpha’s bed.”

Latina frowned. First, Azrene answered all her questions with her emotionless face. She was more like a moving doll that could talk than a living person. Her moves and words were always calculated. Second, after hearing the girl’s reply, she remembered how she got into her current situation.

“The Alpha will enter sooner to spend the night with you. I was told to wake you up and help you prepare,” Azrene informed her. Latina’s ears perked on what she said. “What do you mean?” she asked.

Shaking her head, Azrene answered her question. “The werewolf alpha proposed to marry you in the face of the other alphas. It was granted and now you’ll spend the night together as a married couple,” Azrene pulled her up to sit and dragged her in front of a giant mirror on the wall. “Take a seat,” the girl instructed. When Latina didn’t budge, she pushed her down with force. “Pardon me, Madame. It will be your first night and I have to make sure you look great.”

“M-married?” Latina whispered. The little girl noticed how she trembled. She sighed at the sight.

“Yes, though the ceremony will be held a few days later,” Azrene clarified. She stared at Latina’s face and was awed by her beauty. She was told that she was the most beautiful girl in the kingdom and was pressured to be the Alpha’s woman, but she refused. Azrene wished to see a better world than being tied with her brother.

“I can’t stay the night with him,” Latina muttered, looking at her reflection in the mirror. “I don’t want to!”

“Okay then,” Azrene said. “If you don’t wish to sleep with the alpha, I can help you with that. Only if you promise me one thing.”
