The very night when Lana refused to visit the alpha’s room for sex he barged into her room. The lady could visibly feel the difference between him and Markus. Just right at the moment when the alpha Sahan lifted his eyes up to cast a look at Lana, she subconsciously stepped back. The aura coming from him sent a shiver down her spine that she was unable to take her eyes off his glaring golden slit orbs.

'Don't tell me today is the last night of mine in this world. The alpha is already mad at me, oh goodness I am not going to survive at all tonight.’ She assumed again and confirmed that her thoughts were true, because the cold gaze from those glaring eyes scared her.

There was definitely something unusual and strange about the alpha which she could not comprehend. But one thing was certain that Lana was going to encounter the biggest change of her life that night. She might not have ever thought about that even in her wildest dreams.
The alpha stared at her with a keen and intense gaze, his golden slit orbs skimmed through her body up and down. It appeared that he had been confirming something the way his eyes moved and focused on everything single body part of hers.
“MATE!”
Lord Sahan might not have thought that his mate would appear in his life at such a crucial time. However, that was not what he had expected or ever thought. His cold expressions had some mild disgust too since he did not want a filthy brothel dancer as a mate.
The alpha’s wolf confirmed to him that Lana was his mate but there was something else too. Sahan could not sense any wolf scent from her, rather her smell was peculiar which he had never encountered before. It made him even more curious about his hunch and he subconsciously began to question.
Whether she was genuinely his mate or someone sent to trap him, it was still a question which the alpha had to figure out. Since he was not someone without enemies or haters Sahan could not afford the word to get out that he was gradually dying. After all, it would potentially weaken his kingdom and would give a clear chance to others to create havoc.
For that purpose he had kept his identity a secret and did not potentially appear in front of the civilians. It soon gave rise to multiple rumours of every kind, some believed that the alpha had died and the beta Markus kept it a secret so he could rule over them. Whereas a few truly believed that they were at the mercy of the moon goddess because the alpha had practically abandoned them.
Hearing these kinds of rumours and false statements the alpha was desperate to find the counter of his curse. And now that he had potentially found a cure he was eager to test the theory and the accuracy of his hunch. And in order to do that he needed some time alone with the woman who appeared to be his mate and the counter of his curse.
"You can leave, Markus."
The alpha Sahan spoke to his confidant who immediately took his leave and dismissed in the thin air like a smoke. As soon as he was gone Lana felt a chill settling under her skin. No doubt everyone else would have reacted the same way as her upon seeing the alpha, the king of the whole kingdom in front of her.
Lord Sahan was dressed in a loose white gown which hung over his body lazily. The silk night dress had a V shaped long neckline which came all the way up to his tummy. The toned muscles were clearly visible to her naked eye, despite the fact that the alpha was gradually dying he appeared to be the most handsome hunk.
There was no possible way that a woman would not look at the man twice. No doubt the alpha was cursed and gradually dying and due to the curse his complexion had turned pale. And for that particular curse the alpha required to meet his mate as soon as possible. It was evident from his pale appearance that the alpha would probably die soon if he did not get his mate. Lana was not sure why the man looked so desirable but for some reason her heartbeat grew faster.
She was still in her own reverie when the alpha Sahan Rhaziel took a step forward. The alpha wanted to know first whether she was his mate or was his wolf mistaken. Lana wanted to stop him but her words failed in the mouth and she could not utter a single thing. As much as she wanted to utter anything, the woman's subconscious mind could not bring her to say something.
After all, how could she say something while having the alpha lord in front of her. There was no one in the whole damned kingdom who would oppose lord Sahan. Well of course, the person would definitely be in her senses. And knowing all the possible scenarios Lana was sure that she had to stay quiet and not offend the alpha in any way.
'No, no. I can't die here.'
She muttered to herself in heart knowing that she could not escape. But the woman still had to find some solution to that situation. Her anxious green eyes were darted on his cold face as she studied for any trace of merciful gaze.
Lana knew she had to find an escape thus she immediately knelt which stunned Sahan and his eyes widened.
"No, please. I beg for mercy, your highness."
Her trembling lips appeared sweeter to him as Sahan' closely saw the woman kneeling on both knees in front of him.
"Please don't kill me. I...I would never come to Belle Morte again, his highess."
She tried to assure the king with her words while bowing and joining both hands.
