The Àlpha King is the most powerful male wolf in the country and is about to marry his reckless mate. People are convinced she will not be fit enough to succeed in the job of Queen. Perseus next to controlling his nation all alone is trying to convi...
"You called for me, brother?", Julius, Perseus' brother, walked into his office.
"I need you to do something for me", Perseus mumbled while writing something down.
"Whatever you please",
"Have guards watch her", he handed a picture of Amanda.
"Subtle or-",
"Make sure no one knows",
Julius nodded and started at the picture. The girl was pretty with jet black hair and icy blue eyes. Her full lips were curled into a smile that made him shiver.

"Sorry to ask, but why?", Julius wondered.
Perseus sighed and laid down his pen. He looked stressed and torn. The bags under his eyes grew by the day. Of course he had help of his court, existing out of his brother and sister, and the council. But he needed a queen next to him and Isabel was far from ready for that role.
"She's my mate",
"Isabel-",
"She too, I have two mates",
Julius gaped at his brother. Two mates? Did that even exist? His brother wasn't the one to lie. Perseus was the fairest and most honest guy he knew.

Perseus was in the middle of a meeting when his best guard, Francis walked in. They grew up together and suffered through the harsh training together.
"Francis, I'm busy-",
"You told me to keep an update over code blue", he looked very nervous, which was extremely bizarre.
"What about it?", Perseus leaned forward.
"I can't tell it in here-",
"What are you hiding from us?!", lord Jameson demanded.
The council started to roar in protest. Perseus didn't want them to know about Amanda. They would ruin everything. He silenced them with a low growl.
"We rule this country together. Your majesty, you can't hide anything from us", Jameson spoke up.
"Francis", Perseus hissed.
"Forced mating",
Never had anyone seen the King so angry, the whole room trembled and for once the council grew terribly quiet. His eyes went violent gold, his wolf was surfacing.
"Where?", he stuttered in his anger.
/://:/:/:
The Blood Moon Pack was ruled by a horrible Àlpha. Rumors spread he had people turn rogue if they only watched him. While Perseus drove through the pack, he noticed the poverty and hunger. The people were dirty and beaten down.
Regret filled his stomach and he felt guilty for not stepping up as their protector. This only gave him more rage towards the so called Àlpha.
Àlpha Sander. Cruel and bloodthirsty. The King met him once on the party of his coronation. Never liked him. Acted like everything was about him, feeling Royal.
"He went to see her play and well claimed her. Apparently he kidnapped her to his home and is forcing her to mate. The ceremony is already starting", Francis informed him.
"I should've put a stop to him sooner", Perseus muttered staring at the starved children.
"You can do it now", Francis nodded surely.
/:/:/:/:/:
The first thing he saw was her pale face, red from crying. Her blue eyes stood sad and hurtful, even terrified. She must be. Next were the handcuffs that were slicing into her delicate skin.
The ceremony was held into a sacred place to the moon goddess. Even a priest, who looked in pain. Perseus has learned that when mates, who aren't actual mates, bond, the moon goddess resists against it. Sending pain to them and even the priest.
"Àlpha Sander, you're being arrested for forced mating and the neglect of your pack", Perseus spoke.
Amanda's big, tearful eyes stared at him, relief washing through them. He felt so guilty for all the pain she went through. He just wanted to hold her safe in his arms and never let her go.
"Forced mating?! She's mine!",
Royal Guards passed Perseus and took him down. With much resistance they dragged him out. Amanda watched Perseus get closer to her, until she couldn't breath.
"H-how did you-",
"Don't worry about it, love. Come here", he was handed the keys.
She stumble towards him, but was fell to the ground, exposing the same chains on his ankles. Perseus bowed to her, lifting her dress from the chains.
With trembling hands he unlocked her and secondly moved to her hands. She winced and fresh tears rolled down her dirty cheeks. Finally he got her free and threw away the chains.
"We have medical care waiting for her in the palace", Francis told him.
Perseus nodded and looked at Amanda's big blue eyes, his heart melting. With a deep breath, he lifted her up in bridal style. Worryingly she weighs nothing and he wondered what was the last time she ate.
He carried her to the car, while she held into him, snuggling closer to his chest. Outside was already packed with people, he brought her safely into the limo, before turning to them.
"I promise to solve this longing problem. Please accept the help we provide", he assured them.
They all cheered and nodded. He gave them a helpful smile, before hurrying into the limo. The car drove off, while he laid a warm blanket around her shoulders.
"Are you hungry? Thirsty? Are you hurt?", he asked worried.
She stayed quiet, eyeing him astonished.
"When was the last time you ate?",
A tear rolled down her cheek. Perseus heart dropped and he moved closer to her. Her boney body was shivering due his closeness. A reaction of the mate bond.
"A long time?", he guessed.
She nodded. He bowed to his stash of food and drinks, grabbing whatever he could. Again those blue eyes blew up.
"What do you like? Reece's? Twix? Cheetos? We also have fruit-", her stomach roared in hunger.
She went fierce red in embarrassment, while Perseus chuckled softly. Shyly she reached out for the Reece's. He probably shouldn't have, but he did, he watched her eat. Slowly she gave in and stuffed her mouth full.
His stomach dropped. He shouldn't reacted sooner. He should've already taken her. But he couldn't have, because there was still his other mate.
