I have spent my entire life in an isolated private school, starting from the tender age of two. My father, after the tragic loss of my mother, completely cut me out of his life. I have always wondered why he sent me away, as if I wasn't his own flesh and blood. It wasn't until later that I discovered the truth - I am a beast. I had no knowledge of my true identity, where I came from, or why I possessed the ability to shift into a wolf. Everything remained a mystery until I crossed paths with him - my father's partner. He was the epitome of rudeness and arrogance, yet undeniably handsome and irresistibly sexy. It was in that moment that I surrendered myself to him, willingly giving him my heart and soul. Little did I know, he was the Alpha prince, and I was his destined mate. ... The prince of the Hellfire pack led a dual life. On one hand, he lived among humans in his human form, known as a renowned and obscenely wealthy businessman. On the other hand, he embraced his true nature as an Alpha in his pack, destined to become the king once he reached the age of twenty-five. The only condition for him to ascend the throne was to find his mate. He had no interest in young girls and held no belief in the concept of a mating bond. He simply decided to choose any suitable she-wolf to be his princess. Little did he know that fate had other plans in store for him. Unexpectedly, and by pure chance, he would come face to face with his mate, who happened to be his partner's daughter. And so, the chase began - the pursuit of his mate...
Prince Mathew's POV
As I finally decided to take a couple of days off in England, I got that phone call from my partner Alex... My private jet had just landed and I didn't even get the chance to get into my limo.
"What? He can't take care of anything in the company without me?! For god's sake, I didn't take a day off for more than three months. I was mentally and physically exhausted. I was desperately in need to shut my head off for only a couple of days."
I grabbed my cell phone and answered in an annoyed tone, "Hey! Did you miss me or what?" I mocked.
"Hey, Mathew. Sorry for interrupting your weekend. But it's urgent," he said annoyed.
"What happened? Something happened to our last deal with..." I was asking him worriedly.
He said in defeat, "No, please, it's not about the business. Just listen and don't cut off. Since you are already in England, I need a favor from you."
"Okay, I'm listening," I said.
"My daughter is already studying in a private school there. And I need you to meet the principal instead of me. He called me and said that she had hurt a boy. And you know if I took a flight now it will take more than ten hours in the air, besides I can't leave the company because you are not there. So..." he explained, and I didn't think twice. He was my partner after all.
It was just, I hated kids! That's all.
"Um... Okay, I can do it. Don't worry. Send me the name of the school and I will take care of everything and call you back later," I informed him.
He said sincerely, "Thank you so much, Mathew. You are the best brother and partner ever."
"It's okay, Alex... Anytime. Call you later." And by that, I hung up the call with Alex and frowned.
'What! I can't take a fucking weekend alone without interruption?!' I mumbled and gestured to my guard to open the limo for me.
I'm an Alpha for fuck's sake! I wish I could scream and tell Alex about my little secret. But what should I say to him? 'Hello Alex, I just want to tell you... I'm a werewolf... Oh, I'm actually an Alpha... And much more, I'm going to take the throne on my 25th birthday! In ten days, I will be a fucking king and rule the werewolves' kingdom!'
Yes, and Alex would think that I had lost my mind and gone crazy, or he would get scared and die of a heart attack!
I stepped inside and checked my text message. And yes, I got the name of this private school.
But what didn't come to my mind... What he said earlier. The girl smashed the boy's bones?! How could she do that?! I laughed at the idea and commanded the driver to send me there first to end that shit, then go back to my hotel to enjoy my next two days.
After half an hour, we reached that school that was in the middle of nowhere already. It looked like a prison to me already, but in the shape of a castle!
Well! I wondered, 'Why did Alex send his daughter that far to a place like that? Maybe, she needed to be tamed or something. But she was such a young girl, I guess! Alex is only older than me by a few years. Yes, I'm twenty-four years old, and he is just thirty-two.
I think Viola is kind of a genius or something to be just a young girl in high school! She should be twelve or something. She can't be older, right?!'
I was thinking in my mind before passing through the huge iron gates of that school. I drifted directly into the principal's office, and my guards and my assistant followed me. I didn't see even a ghost around the bars of that iron. It was kind of scary to me.
Until I spotted that young, sexy girl yelling at a few boys. I stood in my place watching her. She raised an eyebrow and said rudely to me, "What the fuck are you looking at? Do I look like a monkey to you?!"
Why are my heartbeats getting higher? Why does the scent of her body stick to my nose as if she is my...!
'Yes, she is your mate, idiot!' My wolf growled.
'No, fucking way! She is human!' I snapped to my wolf to stop.
And before I could reply to her freaking attitude, the principal opened his door to yell at that girl, "Viola Alex! Come over here now."
'What the fuck! Is that Viola?! My partner's daughter?! She looks like a lady to me!'
I rolled my eyes. "Is that Viola Alex?!" I asked awkwardly in a shocking tone.
The principal nodded, "Yes, sir, and I guess you are Mr. Mathew York... Mr. Alex called me earlier and informed me that you will take care of her this weekend."
"What? Take care of that girl for the weekend? No, no... I guess you misunderstood the situation. I'm just here to see what has happened and solve the problem, that's all," I said in a disagreeing tone.
Viola had just disappeared already, and the principal ushered me to go inside his office and talk in private. He sat on his desk and sighed in frustration, "Mr. Mathew, I guess you have no idea what's going on here. I need to explain the situation."
I blew an annoyed breath away. "Okay, please go on."
He smiled lightly, "As you can see, she is a very rebellious and troubled girl. She keeps fighting like a boy every day. She almost smashed our quarterback's bones." He paused...
Then he trailed off his words, "Do you know what's going on with her? She was sent here to that school since she was only 2 years old. Yes... It's a high school now, but previously it was kindergarten and elementary as well. She struggled a lot to adapt. Her father only meets her once per year. The girl has mental issues, even though she is so smart. But much hatred inside her." He explained, and I can't deny that I felt sorry for the girl already.
I guess I got the whole picture somehow. She was born by a mistake between Alex and her mother when Alex was a teenager already.
"How old is she?" I was curious and I wanted to find out if my conclusion was right or wrong.
"Eighteen years old," he said, and I cursed under my breath already.
I rubbed my chin. "Okay, then. You said...She kicked the quarterback's ass, right? Why? There must be a reason for that." I raised an eyebrow.
Yes, after all, she was my partner's daughter, and even so, he was from the human race, but he was like my best close friend ever. A real brother, actually.
"Yes, sir...That guy was her boyfriend, and she caught him kissing another girl!" he mentioned normally, as if it was a casual thing to happen. That means the girl had a reason.
"So it's not out of the blue. So why are you talking about her as if she was insane?!" I raised an eyebrow and said in an irritated tone from the way he had described her.
"Because she always acts like a fireball. She yells and curses and smashes things. Always into fights daily. She needs to be punished by her father, not only to put into detention or be expelled!" he mumbled.
I nodded. "Okay, then, you need her to get out of school for a few days to tame the beast inside that girl?"
He chuckled at the way I said my words. "Something like that. A few days won't hurt anyone. And her final exams will be after two weeks already. So...She could come later to study and finish her last year. Could you do that, please? Seriously, I can't control that girl anymore." He almost pleaded desperately, as if he used all his tricks to make her walk on the right path, but he failed.
I shrugged my shoulders. "I guess I can do that. But one last thing. I want to meet her ex-boyfriend first."
It wasn't a condition, but I wanted to hear the part of the story from the guy, and actually, I was curious to meet him.
He nodded mutely and then called his office boy. A minute later, the office boy entered after he had knocked on the office door politely.
"Yes, sir," he said to the principal.
"Bring me our quarterback Jake now, please," he commanded the boy, and he left. I waited for a few more minutes until a huge, muscled guy, almost as tall as a tree, with white skin and blue eyes, stepped inside with a broken hand and some bruises over his face.
I blurted out, dumbfounded, "Don't tell me that Viola did all of that to that huge guy?!"
Jake freaked out only by hearing her name. "Yes, and please don't mention her name in front of me ever again. She's like a tiger. I hate her already, and I regret taking her as my girlfriend."
I stood up and threw him up and down looks. "Then tell me how it started and why did she do that to you?"
He gulped nervously under my gaze, then he switched his eyes to the principal in a worried look.
I snapped my fingers to his face. "Hey, look at me. I'm talking to you. If you didn't tell me the truth now, trust me, I will sue you," I said sternly.
He dropped his jaw. "Huh? For what?! I should sue her for ruining my life as the best football player!" he said in a violent tone, and I hated him already. I could tell that the girl didn't do anything wrong already. He looked like an egotistic playboy to me.
And before I could say anything, Viola barged into the office without even knocking. Jake rushed to hide himself behind my back. "Viola, don't touch me."
She crossed her arms over her chest. "You fucking piece of shit! Have you told the principal that I broke your arms because you've cheated on me? Seriously!" she hollered at the guy.
"Viola, watch your mouth!" I said firmly, gazing at her.
She smirked. "And who the hell are you?"
"I'm Mathew York, your father's best friend and partner," I replied slowly.
She laughed hysterically, getting more angry in between her tone. "I see! Do I even have a father? He didn't even care to come and meet me."
I ignored her for the moment because I wanted to end all that crap. I have been flying for more than ten hours already, and they started to give me a strong headache. I turned my head to the guy. "Now! Tell me what happened, and don't lie, or I swear to God, I will fuck up your life. You still don't know me well," I threatened him, and I guess I got Viola's attention.
She widened her eyes, impressed, and the guy cleared his throat, lowering his gaze to the floor. "Okay, I lied. I sneaked to her room at night, and I asked her to sleep with me...Um...As lovers. Making love."
I pushed the guy to the wall and almost strangled his neck. "So you wanted her to satisfy your dick needs! You wanted to fuck her!" I groaned.
He suffered to breathe. "No, I have been in a relationship with her for more than two years. I thought it was the right time to lose her virginity. She is eighteen, for God's sake!"
Viola placed her hands on mine and pulled me. "Leave him, please," she said in a broken, low voice.
I glanced off my shoulders, deeply into her eyes, to only see the most beautiful green eyes ever! She was so white with green eyes and dark black hair?! What the hell! I guess her mother was a very beautiful woman. But it wasn't just that. I saw the blocked tears in her eyes. That girl played like a strong tough, but deep inside, she was fragile.
But no one knew that. She hid her true feelings. Because she was lonely, that was obvious.
I pressed my hand even more to the guy's neck. "I will fucking sue you for attempting to rape her! I will fuck your life even more," I roared.
The principal hastened to me and pulled me away from Jake. "Please, Mr. Mathew, calm down, and I will take the proper legal action against him. I didn't know that he was such a liar."
I raised an eyebrow and pointed my finger to the principal, warning him. "You better do, or I will make sure to put you behind bars with him. For now, I'm taking a leave, and I will take Viola with me."
Viola plastered in her place, staring at me in thunderstruck. "Me? Take me where?" She blinked, confused.
I linked my arms to hers and smiled softly. "Having fun for this weekend. Just you and me."
And I didn't know that would be the first heartbeat for me...I didn't know that rebellious girl would rock my world and conquer my stone heart with her fragile smile.
He never imagined he would fall in love, especially not with the daughter of his enemy! She never imagined that writing an article about the enigmatic Tomas Charl could lead her into a world of danger. With a reputation as a wealthy businessman, he masked a far darker truth-he was the head of a mafia organization. Her intentions were pure, driven by a strong moral compass and the hope that love could change him. She envisioned a future where they could leave his criminal life behind, unaware that she was already entangled in his web. "How dare you enter my room without permission?" she stammered, disbelief washing over her as she instinctively shielded herself. He closed the door and locked it, the click echoing ominously. Stepping closer, he invaded her personal space, the rhythm of her racing heart palpable in the silence. With a predatory whisper, he leaned in, "I can do as I please. This is my house, and everything in it, including you, is mine." He captured her lips in a forceful kiss, leaving her breathless and confused.

She had no idea that her mate would turn out to be her older brother, not even for a second! Duncan Preston, the Alpha! She believed it was all a trick of the mind, and she tried to keep her emotions hidden. For the simple reason that Duncan never showed her anything of his feelings, if she was his true mate, why didn't he tell her so? Duncan realized a long time ago that his adopted-younger-sister is his mate, despite the ten-year age difference between them.

Once she discovered who she really was, she resolved not to let that truth go, even if being the Alpha's daughter meant being mated to a cruel Alpha who never wanted her to be his Luna. "Crystal, I want you to reject me. I don't think we can be mated." Alpha Logan spoke to her privately. She smiled and looked at him, "But you've accepted my father's offer, the arranged mating bond!" He scratched the back of his neck and explained while avoiding her gaze, "I couldn't refuse his offer! He proposed merging the two packs! I didn't want to create strife between us. But you can reject this. You are his only daughter, he would never oppose your happiness. " She stepped closer to him and said, "So, you don't like me and you have another woman in your life?" She wondered. He shook his head, "Not really. But I don't see you as my Luna. You don't eat properly, you're not highly educated and you know nothing about Royal fashion. and..." He didn't realize that with every word escaping his mouth, he was breaking her heart. But she decided not to be weak like her mother and seize the opportunity. She would do anything to make her father proud of her. She raised her head high and said, "I, Crystal, the daughter of Alpha Dominic, accept you, Alpha Logan, as my mate." "Whattttttt????"
It all began with just one night together, but she never could have imagined it would lead her here - trapped, with nowhere left to run. He wasn't the first man she'd been with, but he would be the last. No matter which way she turned, every path circled back to him - the Mafia King who now held her captive.
Alpha Valdo emerged from the steaming bathroom, droplets of water still clinging to his chiseled physique. As he wrapped the plush towel around his waist, his gaze fell upon the figure lying amidst the rumpled sheets - his wife, Selena, utterly exposed and vulnerable. A flicker of uncertainty crossed his features. "Selena, what are you still doing here?" he asked, voice laced with a hint of bewilderment. She propped herself up on one elbow, her raven hair cascading over alabaster skin. "We're married, my love," she replied, a trace of confusion in her tone. "I thought we might... continue where we left off." Alpha's expression hardened as he turned away. "That was a mistake," he said coolly. "I was simply...indulging a momentary desire, nothing more." His eyes refused to meet hers as he spoke, a glimmer of regret flickering within their depths. Selena's heart plummeted, shattered by his callous dismissal of their union - the bond they had forged, the promises they had made. She was no mere plaything, but the woman he had vowed to cherish. Yet now, he treated her as if she were no more than a common whore, unworthy of his affection. Silently, she gathered the bedsheet around her trembling form and fled the room, leaving Alpha alone with the weight of his cruel words and the anguish he had inflicted upon his beloved.
