Taming The Cursed Alpha Prince: The Charm of the Werewolf Star

(Lauren's POV)

"And the awards go to" The woman announced, looking at a small piece of paper. Her mouth perked up into a smile as she reads it. "Lauren!".

Just like clockwork, The crowd cheered and screamed my name. I, on the other hand, couldn't believe what was happening. I stood up with my hands covering my mouth and noticed that the camera was already on me, following my every move. A bunch of people who were beside me, urge me to go and accept my award as I was still dumbfounded by the whole announcement. Still a bit shocked, I worked my way to the stage. Everything felt so surreal when a lot of celebrities I didn't know personally congratulated me as I pass them by. It was my first-ever win as a singer-songwriter. Originally, I was more than grateful to be nominated in the two categories: best singer of the decade award and the most played artist on Spotify but never have I ever thought that I would win them at the 85th Annual Grammy Awards.

With a big smile on my face, I gracefully approached the podium. I was congratulated by the announcer who handed me the two golden trophies that looked like small gramophones which looked quite heavy but to my surprise, they weren't that heavy at all. It was then she guided me towards the mic to receive my speech. I was a bit overwhelmed when the crowd's attention was all on me. It wasn't necessarily my first time to be subjected to a huge crowd such as this but this one, This one felt different.

Silence loomed in the auditorium, everyone was waiting for what I had to say. This is what I have been waiting for my whole life. Everything I have worked for has come to this.

I gave them my most genuine smile and draw closer to the mic "Thank you for this great night. I am more than grateful for the love and support I have received throughout my career " I paused, trying to fight my tears but still kept smiling throughout my speech " if it weren't for my parents, friends, and also my wonderful producer. I wouldn't be standing here with two awards on my hand. And most especially my fans who have given me the world. Thank you" after finishing my speech, I waved my two Grammys as I exit through the stage. I can hear the crowd still cheering my name while the host began to continue the program

Once I have left the premise and was now out of sight of everyone, I quickly ran towards the restroom with the trophies in my hand. I peeped inside the restroom to check whether there was anyone inside, but as expected there was no one but me. It was then I decided to drop my act and be myself, my pathetic self.

I cried.

I cried inside the restroom, alone with no one by my side. I wasn't crying because of the joy I felt winning the awards but because even all of the success, awards, and attention I have received. I still felt incomplete. I still felt that something is missing and I'm afraid that I couldn't fill that piece of myself because I never knew who I was. I am a fraud who knows nothing about my being. I don't even remember my memories of when I was a child. The only thing that I felt I was truly myself is in a dream, which is pretty pathetic if you asked me.

That damn dream! I always hated that dream but that dream was the only thing that felt like it was a piece of me but I never knew why...

[Flashbacks 2 years ago]

I woke up and found myself laying on the floor in an unfamiliar setting.

"Where am I?" I asked myself, Trying to remember if I have been here before. It seems that I was in a forest but this forest was different than the others I'd been on. Everything seems to shine and sparkle. Starting from the trees, plants, insects, and even the mud. Confused as to why everything was sparkly and bright, I decided to just not care about it for now and just figure out why I was here in the first place.

"Are they pranking me again?" I sighed, thinking that my cousins were the cause of all this. After all, I've been pranking them non-stop so it was just time for them to hit me back but would they put this much effort into a prank? "Tsk! Whatever, I'm just gonna go home" Once I've brushed myself from all the dirt, I started to look for my way home.

It was when a beautiful white butterfly caught my attention. The butterfly who was flying so effortlessly was going in my direction and landed on the tip of my nose. I froze on the spot to not scare the butterfly.

Captivated by the beautiful butterfly, I suddenly hear a soothing voice whispering next to my ear. " La ziyama kindrezemie vi yuza"

"What was that?" I quickly looked back to see who it was but the only thing I saw was sparkly trees dancing in the wind. "I swear I heard someone" A bit puzzled as to what was going on, I started to feel uneasy about the forest. My concern rose when suddenly I heard a growl echoing through the forest.

The growl was deafening which resulted in me covering my ears from the foul sound. It was something I never heard before but it was certain that the sound came from a vicious animal. After a couple of minutes, the sound stopped. Everything went silent but to my surprise, the sparkly forest was no longer sparkly and bright, Its appearance was now replaced by a horrific and dark color.

"What's happening?" I said terrified about the sudden change of appearance of the forest. I couldn't comprehend what was happening and why it was happening to me. The only thing that was on my mind right now was to escape this place as soon as possible. As I step my foot unto the ground, preparing to run. My head started to spin causing me to fall over mid-run. I whimpered on the floor, trying to stand up but it seems that my knees weren't working. The forest wasn't the only thing that was affected by the thunderous growl, It also affected me.

As though, My luck had run out. The ground began to shake. I planted my ears to the floor and heard thousand of footsteps coming my way. Panic ran into my veins, trying every possible way for me to move forward to escape the dreadful forest and the impending doom.

In the midst of me inching forward, the ground was no longer thumping and was now replaced by puffs of air circulating my body. My body grew cold but my will to live was still there. As a last retort, I pushed myself to run but was stopped when an animal seems to bite my leg. Stopping me from moving forward.

I looked at the beast that captured my leg. It was a scary huge gray red-eyed wolf. A pack of them was circulating me acting like a barrier preventing me to go any further. "Waaaaaah" I screamed trying to shake my leg off

The wolf only glared at me but eventually let my leg go. "Get away from me!" I yelled and tried to kick the wolf by its head. Unexpectedly, the wolf captured my leg once again but not with its mouth but with its hand. The wolf who was just in front of me transformed into a man. His body was covered with marks of battle but despite the scars, his toned body was still pretty to look at. His face I couldn't quite comprehend because of the darkness that surrounded us but his piercing red eyes of his were all that was left in the outline of his face.

"Lauren, You are mine," he said with a grin. The man grabbed my waist and pulled it towards him leaving our bodies no space to spare. He started to squeeze my neck while kissing it leaving love marks on the side. I wanted to scream but was too terrified of what he'll do if I were to do so.

"Hng, Please stop" I begged but he continued and was now licking my neck. His rough hands traveled my body to my chest and started to play with my nipple. This causes me to moan a little

"Oh, you like that?" His toothed grin grew wider as he heard me moan. It was as if he accepted that as an invitation, he then lick my nipples continuously while my clothes were still on. I bit my lips stopping myself from moaning any further. "Stop fighting yourself, I know you like it," he said.

"Aaah, No," I said as a moan escaped from my mouth. His hands then traveled between my legs, the man's fingers touched my now wet clit and were playing with it. This causes me to moan again causing me to feel a tingly sensation near my stomach.

"I thought you didn't like it?" He chuckled as he retrieves his hands and suck the juices he collected from my clit. His manhood was now grinding on my leg as if it wanted to escape, I was a bit afraid of raging boner and was a bit embarrassed that part of me wanted to put it in. As if he noticed what I was thinking he then reassured me. "Don't worry, I'll make sure you'll cum with excitement" he whispered

He pinned both of my hands with only one of his hands and started to undress me with the other. Once I was completely naked, He looked at every inch of my body with lust, Wanting to devour every part of me. His dark red eyes pierced my soul indicating that to this day, I, Lauren would be his meal for today.

With no time to waste, The man parted my legs and started to chow down my clit. His tongue moved gently back and forth as if preparing me for what was to come. I can't help but feel every stroke, squeezing his face to my legs. Wanting more of this sensation I am feeling.

"I can no longer take it, I need to put it in" he eagerly says as he positions himself in my opening. His manhood then glided into my hole, making me bite my lips as he deepens his penetration. "I'm gonna move" he announced as his member was now moving back and forth.

"Aaah, please Aaah" I moaned softly, as the man thrust his member faster with every second his in me. It was a new sensation for me and I couldn't help but feel scared by all of this but every moment was me wanting more of it. The man arched my back making himself more deep than he has before. His pounding became rough, biting my neck as he was starting to reach climax.

My breathing became shallow as the pleasure become intense, I rolled my eyes from the ecstasy as my body trembled.

"Lauren" my mother called me in the middle of the night. My mind was still distraught and my body was still hot from the dream that I had.

"Mom!" I cried. Before she could ask me what happened, I hurriedly hugged her. Begging for her to comfort me and make the nightmares go away.

"It was only a dream" she caressed my back and kissed my head reassuring me that no one could hurt me no more. I started to sob with the dream still intact in my mind "Don't worry my love, It was only a dream"

Never have I thought that dream was just the beginning...

(Lauren's POV)

"I'm sorry but It seems that I do not have the answer as to why Lauren doesn't seem to remember her memories" The doctor who examined me looked defeated as he tell my adopted parents the news.

"But doctor I thought you can help us" my mom, Yna pushed

"Honey, The doctor did his best" my father, Lemuel sighed as he consoles my mother. "There is nothing we can do now. I know you've done your best for Lauren but it seems that this route we're taking isn't helping her, our us"

"But there must have been away" my mother who was now frustrated, cried in my father's arms. "The poor girl doesn't even know her parents" She wailed.

"Honey, The doctor did his best" my father, Lemuel sighed as he consoles my mother. "There is nothing we can do now. I know you've done your best for Lauren but it seems that this route we're taking isn't helping her, our us"

"The poor girl doesn't even know her parents" She wailed.

The doctor feeling awful that he couldn't help, tried to ease the atmosphere. "If you don't mind me asking, Where did you find Lauren?"

"We found her near are barn" My father answered. "She was only fifteen when we found her. I thought a raccoon had infiltrated the abandoned bar next to our house but It was only Lauren, Our Lauren." My father paused to wipe his tears remembering fondly the day they met me. "She was just a little girl sleeping on that dirty barn all alone. I was shocked in the state she was in and after that, I and my wife decided to give her a home. That's the best thing we can do".

"I'm sorry" The doctor felt bad asking my father.

"Don't be. I'm just glad we found her". My mother squeezed my father's hand as she wipes her tears.

"And you still haven't found her parents?" the doctor interrupted.

"Unfortunately, No" my mother replied. Now making my father rest answering the Doctor's questions. "We wanted to but she doesn't remember. We tried looking for her parents whether they're looking for Lauren but alas, not one single soul"

"I see" the Doctor processed the information he got from my parents. "I think it best for Lauren to just wait for her memories to come back. Stressing her would only complicate things. I suggest just giving her lots of love and care for her as you do for a normal child. Let's just hope for the best"

"Thank you, Doctor" My parents both smiled.

As both my parents thanked the doctor, I was in the waiting room, waiting for them patiently knowing that this was another failure and the doctor had given them answers they already know. I was very grateful for both my adopted parents, I always think of them as my real parents

The life of a celebrity was everything I imagined, the fame, the fortune, and also the delicious foods they give you at magnificent parties I get to attend. I have never expected that my writing about my experiences of abandonment, emptiness, hopelessness, and regaining self-worth In a song would inspire millions of people worldwide which was the very thing that made me famous.

After fixing myself up, I hurriedly went outside and was approached by Frederick. "Your right on time. Here's the song that you'll perform today" he handed me a piece of paper with lyrics on it. The awardees were supposed to perform a Britney Spears song to commemorate the late iconic star. I was going to perform "Lucky" by Britney Spears, one of the most iconic songs in the world.

"Thank you very much," I said to Frederick, recalling the lyrics for Lucky. The staff had already rushed to me as they prepare everything I need for the performance. "Well, Wish me luck"

"You are my luck," He said and blew me a friendly kiss. I smiled and grabbed the air, imagining I have captured his kiss and had put it on my chest.

With a single breath, I then entered the stage and the crowd grew wild. I smiled at them and waved to some of them but as soon as I hear the tune, I readied myself for my performance. The soulful music seep into my soul and into my heat which translated to my performance.

"She is so Lucky but why does she cry?

If there is nothing missing in her life

why do tears come at night?" as I sing those lyrics, It was evident that this celebrity life was something that wouldn't ease the emptiness I was feeling inside. No matter how hard I try, no matter how many achievements I get, It wouldn't matter because the true me is still lost.

After my great performance, Many celebrities approached me at the after-party as the event had closed. One of them was my all-time idol, Adele. She was extremely funny and appreciated how talented I was but our conversation was cut short when my mom called to check on me.

"Yes mom, I already ate" I rolled my eyes

"Don't drink too much. You know you can't take your alcohol well" my mom said worried that I wouldn't take her word.

"I know, Mom but I'm not a kid anymore. I can handle myself pretty well" I assured her. Knowing my mom she wouldn't feel safe until I was with someone she trusts

Frederick who carried two wines in his hands, approached me and gave me the other one. "Hello, Ms. Yna. Don't worry your daughter is safe with me. I won't let this bugger get out of control." He said chuckling as he sips in his wine glass.

"Oh Frederick, Good thing you are there. I was just telling Lauren to cut her alcohol intake. You know her, Three shots of beer and she's already puking herself on the floor" My mom nagged "Now, Frederick I do hope Lauren wouldn't restrict your fun but I will always be grateful for you. Thank you for looking out for her"

"My pleasure, Mi amor" Frederick answered who was now a bit tipsy with all his wine tasting "It's my duty to serve and look out for her"

Before my mom could say anything more else to embarrass me, I then cut their conversation. "See mom, I'm with Frederick. There's nothing bad would happen, Goodbye"

"Fine," my mom said, "I love you, and Goodbye". With a press of a button, the call ended. I felt a bit bad to shove my mother away but It was time for me to feel independent. After all, it felt like doing so would make me remember things in the past. Maybe that's what I needed, Space for myself.

"Wasn't that a bit too harsh?" Frederick voiced.

"You're not siding with my mom, are you?" I glared.

"I'm just saying" he shrugged and went to the party leaving me behind. So much for looking out for me.

"You're just going to leave me?" I shouted

"Come dance" Frederick insisted as he disappeared into the crowd.

I gulped my wine and followed Frederick who was dancing on the dance floor with a couple of girls he acquired. His body looked sexy as he showed his moves to the girls he was dancing with. I giggled as he tries to fluidly move next to me and danced his heart out. It was always fun around Frederick. I would say he was the life of the party

Exhausted by all the dancing, I ordered a bunch of alcoholic drinks and finished all of them in one sitting. It was then I started to feel a bit tipsy, my brain felt sluggish and I couldn't even form any more words.

"I-I need to go home" I fumbled in my bag to look for my phone and tried to tap the floating numbers to call my driver. "Helooooo"

"Hello, Ms. Lauren" a man answered me cheerfully.

"I need....to go home" I said holding my puke.

"Right away miss" as soon as he said that, I began to feel a bit drowsy. My eyelids felt heavy and once I closed my eyes. I already blacked out

To my surprise, the concrete felt rather comfy like I was on a bed. I tossed and pulled and find myself waking up by the blinding light that shined on my face. It was already morning!

Waking up, I find myself in a hospital. Dextrose was injected into my arm. "What?" I said.

As I try to clear my head about what has happened a familiar nose ringed my head. "Bark! Bark! Bark!" I searched for the noise where it was coming from but what shocked me wasn't the things that were making the noise. It was the steel cages that surrounded me.

What in the world? Why are there cages at the hospital? Am I in a mental institution?

A small fluffy body was then jumping up and down, sticking its tongue trying to get my attention. Now that, I have a better look at it. It was a white fluffy dog, who was in one of the cages near me. It was then I realize that other cats and dogs were also in the cage.

What is going on?

(Lauren's POV)

Where the hell am I?

I looked at the strange place still questioning what had happened that night. I was in a place hospital where you wouldn't go if you don't have an animal beside you. I now concluded that this wasn't exactly a hospital for humans like me. While contemplating what to do, I remembered that I needed to call Frederick. He must have been worried sick for me.

I tried to find my bag and saw it on a table hard for me to reach. The Dextrose was preventing me to move any further than I can reach. Because of this, I concluded to just yack the dextrose on my arm for me to reach my bag. In some weird circumstances, a big scary dog started to bark at me for no apparent reason. It startled me and I jump back on my bed, looking to see where it was coming from.

"Arf! Arf!" A fluffy dark dog barked at me. His mouth was drooping with saliva as he tries to jump on his cage. The dog looked a bit scary for my taste. He was acting up as if he was trying to get out of the cage and bite my head off.

"Aaaaaaah! Help me, Someone? Aaaaah" I screamed, Terrified at the caged dog that he might get out of his captivity. I wanted to run but I will have to take the dextrose in order for me to escape. The dog who was now aggressively barking stopped as a familiar person entered the room.

An angel who was in a white robe with cute cartoon animals imprinted on it calmed the huge scary dog. I was awestruck by how beautiful he was. His startling clarity as a mountain stream eyes looked into mine. The angel looked a lot like Brad Pitt. The pushed-back Achilles' hair was coiffed into perfection while his face, His face was the real deal. A perfectly crafted jawline and perfect proportion, makes me think that his face was blessed by God. I can't help but stare which prompted him to smile.

His damn smile, those things were the killer. It triggers my heart, making my heart pound and I was a bit afraid that I might pass out again from that smile alone. He started to walk forward towards me. His perfumed picked my nose which flooded the whole room. It has a musky smell that has a hint of peppermint. Who knew you can go crazy with a smell alone? My eyes glued to the beaming man my mind can't help but praise this being. "Gorgeous" I murmured.

The angel looked at me bewildered, he wasn't sure how to react to what I just said. He looked amused and laughed as I try to hide my embarrassment from him. I was just stating the truth, was it wrong to do so?

"Well hello, Ms. Lauren. I'm glad that you're cheerful as ever" he teased. His voice sounded like honey, and I began to imagine whether he taste like honey too. "I'm glad that you're awake. I guess you already have noticed that you aren't in a normal hospital but a veterinary hospital. I apologize if Apollo here scared you. He's just looking out for you. He is quite a friendly dog, you should try and pet him once" he explained

"Umm...Yeah" I uttered, Still a bit shocked by the whole event that is happening right now. Why was I in a veterinary hospital, I'm not a dog. I looked at Doc Angel disoriented. Well if he is the doctor who'll be taking care of me, I guess I can bark.

"Oh, where are my manners, I forgot to introduce myself" he said "Nice to meet you, I'm doctor Paul Blunt, You can call me Paul" he winked at me which caught me off guard. "You're in my Veterinary Hospital the Paul's Vet clinic."

"Nice to meet you doc, Paul" I handed my hands to him which he happily accepts and we both shook hands. I shyly took my hands back "Umm...Do you mind telling me how I ended up here? I don't remember much and my mind was still a bit foggy"

"I would happily fill the blanks for you" he said as he starts to recall what happened last night. "Let's see, Your driver, Gerry, Lovely man. Burst in here, distraught that you passed out. He was shaking and panicking and I too was afraid that he might pass out also. It's a good thing he brought you here" He explained.

Embarrassed by the commotion I made, I couldn't help but not look at Paul. I'm never going to drink again. "I'm so sorry. If only I didn't drink too much, this whole accident would've taken in the first place" I apologized, hiding my face

"Don't be, You gave me an eventful night. And if it weren't for this commotion, I might have not met you. I guess, just be more careful next time." he said reassuring me. He was a bit right, I was quite glad that I got drunk and met him but a veterinary hospital wasn't something I would say a romantic place to meet, moreover, he saw me in a drunken state.

"Thank you, doctor, I'm more than grateful" I thanked Paul.

"Well, Now that's out of the way. Is there something I could do for you? Food? A glass of water?" Paul offered. As he says that, I remembered that I was supposed to call Frederick and update him on what was going on.

"I just need one thing, Please pass my bag over there" I said pointing at my bag. Paul then grabbed my bag from the table and gently handed it to me. As he place it near to me, I hurriedly look for my phone and checked if my Mom or Frederick called. Frederick left 10 missed calls and a dozen texts asking where I was.

I then called him. The moment the phone rang, Frederick already answered without missing a beat. "Oh God!" he exclaimed "Where are you? I was worried sick. Do you know what your mom would do to me if she knew you went missing in a drunken state?"

"Frederick, Calm down. I'm okay. You don't have to worry" I calmly said.

"Mon Coeur, I have every right to worry. I was supposed to protect you but I didn't." his frantic state started to become mellow as he learned I was in a safe place. He started to feel that it was his fault that I passed out.

"Frederick" I softly said. "Don't blame yourself. It was my choice to drink alcohol, knowing I couldn't tolerate it. "

He sighed, making me feel more guilty

"Don't blame yourself, please" I repeated "I will explain everything once I've gone home so chin up, okay? Goodbye," I ended the call and felt Frederick's sadness. I shook my head and decided to go home since It seems I already recovered well enough. "Doc, I think I can discharge now. Thank you again for everything and how much do I have to pay for the service?"

Paul chuckled and placed his mouth next to my ear "Someone as beautiful as you is free of charge." he whispered and gave me a delectable wink. This made my heart pound again "Besides, my mom loves you very much. It's the least I can do"

"Y-You do? I mean She does? Is she a fan?" I asked.

"Very much. She knows you are here and wants to know if you are free for breakfast. Don't worry, I already rejected her and said no. You need to rest more." Paul replied while checking my stats on his clipboard.

His mom is a Fan. Fans to me are very much my whole world. They were the ones who gave me this dream I always wanted. Without them, I would be a nobody. Call me cheesy but to me, a fan is someone I can call family. They have supported me since day 1. Looking back at the time I was in a concert, there was a fan who happily went to my stage mid-performance and gave me a big hug. The security find this a threat but for me, it was a hug from an old friend who was needing my love and affection. I let her stay in my arms as I finish my song. She said to me that day that I was the one who saved her life but she didn't know that she also saved mine. I will forever be grateful for a fan and if a fan needed me to meet her for a breakfast with his Godly son. I would do it, no questions asked.

Before Paul could process my papers, I held into his lab coat preventing him to move any further. "I'll go" I murmured

"What?" Paul faced me, Confused as to why I stopped him.

"Tell her that I can rest later and let's go meet her for breakfast." I said.
