The Alpha Prince's Redemption

Prince Rhaegar

Nalya

I was throwing up on the floor just seeing his length. It disgusted me. He sickened me. Arlon pulled me up and threw me on the bed. I thought that was it. He would find out I lied about my cycle and either beat me to death or r**e me violently. My heart was racing in my chest as tears welled down my face.

He growled so loudly in my face, and his canines elongated. I closed my eyes as my body shook. He grabbed my wrists and pinned them over my head.

"Please leave me alone," I cried. My voice a whisper.

"Why are you so stubborn?" he was frustrated. Arlon made me face him and, with one hand, gripped my cheeks.

"Your father owes me, and you're my price. You will stay with me until I decide I don't need anyone. Am I clear?" he asked. When I didn't answer, he slapped me.

"Am I clear?" His voice was chilling and dangerous. I nodded, and he got off me.

"Good," he patted my head like a dog.

"Now, give me a massage. I want to rest. That Alpha Prince was hard to deal with today, and now, he's in my town," he sighed. He lay on the bed, and I gave him a massage with the oils. My hands were tired and sore. He couldn't stop complaining about the visiting werewolf Prince. Even though we were rogues, we needed to be on good terms with the pack, Alphas, and werewolves, especially now that Arlon wanted to make this an official pack.

He finally passed out, and I got him off to shower. I wore my robe after the cold shower. I stood on the balcony, watching the dark forest every night. A midnight-furred wolf caught my eyes. It was the tallest wolf I've ever seen. Not even Arlon's was like that! The wolf with electric blue eyes was looking at me intently. I saw recognition in his gaze, but he ran back into the forest, leaving me standing there and my heart beating wildly.

...

"Hey, wake up, wake up!" I heard my sister's harsh voice.

"I'm up," I rubbed my face. I was still groggy when my stepmother poured water on my face.

"Aunt, why did you do that?!" I cried. The woman only glared at me. Mary has hated me since I was a child because my mom was my father's mistress, who abandoned me with them.

"The Alpha rogue wants us to help you get ready. He has important visitors and would like to show a united front, a team capable of leading a pack once given a seat at the Alpha council," she said. So, it was true. We'd all soon be a pack?

"Don't even dare start crying and smile. Alpha Prince Rhaegar is too important and has the last say," she warned harshly.

She dragged me to the bathroom, "I can walk by myself," I hissed, pulling away from my stepmother's rough grip.

I got into the tub and slowly washed my body. After the bath, they put me in a blue plunge cut-out dress and pulled my hair into a tight bun, leaving some of it falling out. We went downstairs.

"Stop doing that," Kaley spat, slapping my hand.

"This dress is too short for me," I whimpered.

"No, it's just right. Arlon wants you to be your most sexy. One thing he has over Alpha Prince Rhaegar will be a beautiful Luna," Kaley smiled grimly.

"We know you're worried that someone might notice your little habits, but no one can see your inner thighs,"

I faced the floor, embarrassed, and followed them. The heels made it difficult to walk in, but I managed just fine.

"Also, speak loudly and clearly when our guests talk to you. You mumble your words," she said.

Once in the living room, I saw a few rogue wolves of high ranking interacting, and no one was strange.

"Now, socialize with everyone as we wait for the guests, and soon, Arlon will come out to introduce you,"

Rhaegar

I was in the office with Arlon and my beta and best friend, Nathaniel. The rogues want to be an official pack as they grow in numbers and are well-behaved. It was now up to me to decide whether to stamp my seal and initiate them. I was hesitant. I did my investigation on William, and his businesses were not straight.

"We deserve a seat at the table; we are in one location, and there's more than a thousand of us! It's what your father was working for," he said.

My father was a good man. All he wanted was to see unity among us, no discrimination between rogues and pack wolves. He died during an attack when I was seventeen years old, and I took over his position immediately and governed the packs under him.

"I'm tired," I sighed, " We'll discuss this next meeting. We have seen the community you're building, and it's admirable," I said. Arlon nodded with a smile.

I left the office but stopped when I smelled it again. It belonged to the woman I saw on the balcony. My wolf, Rega, was frantic. He wanted us to find her immediately, and my heart was pounding. Her sweet scent became more enticing as I searched through the crowd of people.

I froze when I saw her talking to a man. He was older than her, but she was trying to get away from his perverted advances.

" Marley, no, please," her voice was a whimper yet so musical to my ears. Anger and jealousy took over my senses, and I marched to where she was, snatching her by the waist and hugging her protectively. My eyes locked on her. We were so close that I could hear the pounding of her heart.

' Mate,' Rega said in my head as soon as our eyes locked, and everything froze.

Her beauty was incomparable, and the innocence in her immature, mesmerizing green eyes was something to behold; they were remarkable! I wanted to shout in excitement, yet she looked young.

" I- My-" The man she was talking to stuttered, and he made me break eye contact with my mate. I glared at him, making him whimper, and step back. He was drunk.

" Didn't you hear her say no to your request?" I all but growled, making eyes in the gathering fall on us. The room is suddenly silent as they fear what will happen.

" Please don't make a fuss," I heard a small whimper from my mate. Am I making a fuss? He was being inappropriate with her!

" Why the f**k are you defending him?" I growled. She was taken aback and scared. I inhaled, not wanting to terrorize her. She was already frightened as it was. Her eyes went to a middle-aged woman among the crowd, and my mate's eyes flashed with fear. What the f**k was going on? Her heart was beating frantically; I needed to protect her. I released her and faced the crowd. They all bowed their heads.

' Rhaegar, what are you doing?' My beta asked.

' He was touching her,' I gritted my teeth, and he growled.

' Nate, this girl is scared of these people,' I told him. ' Find out what's going on with her, and where the f**k is Arlon?'

' f*****g some woman,'

I glanced at my mate again, and her innocent eyes were cast to the ground. I caressed her hair gently and dismissed her when I realized she didn't know I was a mate. She wasn't eighteen yet. As soon as she was out of sight, I grabbed the man who was touching her by the collar, and fear gripped him as I lifted him off the ground. He was shaking.

" Never, ever touch her again, am I clear?" I growled.

" Y- yes. I- I was teasing - her, sh-" he stammered like a fool, and I threw him across the room, crashing into the nearest table filled with drinks. Screams escaped the bystanders, but I didn't care. I needed to find out more about my mate.
