Forged in the Flames by Karima Sa'ad Usman

Aliana POV

I stared at Ania, completely surprised by her words. I wondered if she was serious or joking. I looked at Lisa, and she nodded. He said we should move your things to his room,” Lisa said, I did not know what to think. “I told you he would come through for us,” Raven said, and I tried to shut her up, but she was too excited.

“It is temporary, Raven. You know he wants to be King. I doubt the other kings would want a werewolf slave queen,” I said, and she growled in my head.

“We are not slaves,” she said, and I did not care. She had issues with reality regarding Nikolas, I didn’t.

“Ingham has been demoted. Alpha learned of what he did, and some of us spoke up about it, even the men that helped us with the Queen.

They all told on him.

Ingham wasn’t expecting everyone would speak up. The b*astar*d thought it would be your word against his, and he thought we would be too scared to speak the truth.

He said you threw yourself on him. You came to him for comfort because the Alpha had cut you off. He said he didn’t want you, but you are good at seduction.

He apologised to the Alpha for t*ouching what was his and promised not to do it again.

He tried to make you look like a liar and that you were trying to create a problem between them Ingham’s lies were believable, but the Alpha did not believe him. He said you could not seduce a h*orn*y man to save your life,” she said, and Lisa began to laugh.

“Yes, he said you were too damn innocent to be able to do all those things and more. Then he asked us, and that was when we dared to speak up. I told him the day it started, and the men said it was true. After we had narrated all the incidents to Alpha, he became furious. He beat the s*hi*t out of Ingham. Qusack and Grant had to stop him. They were all disappointed in Ingham. That was when Grant exposed that Ingham was cast out of his pack because he was a predator. He defiled many young women,” Ania said, and I gasped.

This was Nikola’s fault for building a pack of criminals. I could not say all of them were dangerous, but some, like Ingham, belonged six feet under where they could not hurt anyone again.

“Alpha beat the s*hi*t out of him, and Ingham soon confessed that he did it. He said how you fought and even bit him a couple of times, but then he further angered Alpha by telling him that it shouldn’t mean anything after all, you are just a werewolf. That was what finished him.

Alpha said you were his whether werewolf or not, you belonged to him, and he was to respect what is his as his Alpha and King.

He let him know he broke their mutual trust, and thus, he would no longer have him in the ranks. Delta Grant is the new Gamma now. Although I hate the b*astar*d for branding me, he is a better man than Ingham,” Ania said, and I understood her reasons.

“So, what is going to happen to Ingham?” I asked, and Lisa laughed “He is just a mere pack member. Some say he is too valuable to stay that way for long but only time will tell. As for now, Alpha says you are off limits to everyone,” she said, and Ania opened my cupboard and started packing my clothes. “It is kind of embarrassing for Alpha to say you can’t seduce a h*orn*y man,” Ania said, looking at me. I knew my cheeks coloured in those moments.

“You are still a virgin!” she exclaimed, and I was glad because I had tried to tell them Nikolas and I wasn’t screwing. Now they heard it from the Alpha, and they believed him.

I explained our few encounters, and by the time I was done, I was w*et as hell They did not fare well either. “Goddess, Aliana, that is so hot,” Lisa said, and I giggled a bit, thinking of it. It was hot. “I could see why it got to you that he cut you off,” Ania said,
