“Have you seen Zeev?” Tyr asked the gammas the moment they reached the Alpha Camp.
Zane looked around but there’s no scent of their guy. The gammas replied they haven’t seen Zeev in their morning run as well which Tyr and Zane missed because of what happened last night.
“Maybe he’s with the council?” Zane said.
Tyr’s forehead creased as he fished out his phone from his pocket to check if Zeev already responded to him, but the wolf prince just sighed when he got nothing.
“The deltas are not around either, so maybe he is with them,” the omega added, “or he thought we won’t be going back over there because of the argument we had last night.”
“He should have at least told me so we wouldn’t have to wait for him.”
Zane’s brows twitched. “Are we going without him?”
“I’ll just let him know. We need to go now if w
Raini rapidly blinked her eyes, still looking at their prints – hers on her wrist and the wolf’s on his shoulder. She tilted her head and realized that the wolf is still holding her wrist, so she pulled her hand from his grip. She looked at the man from head to toe with her brows up and sighed.“Primrose said my mate is a great alpha. I can’t believe my mate tried to kill me. That’s not so great of you at all.”Obviously confused of her words and the knowledge that they were indeed mate, the wolf’s forehead wrinkled before he went back to the huge rock to sit, facing the princess.They were silent for a little while. Princess Raini scrutinized the man in front of her who wore a much softer expressions on his face this time, but his eyes were dazed, probably not expecting her to be his mate, too.If they had met in a much pleasant way, Raini would think he’s a great alpha indeed. Aside from his excellent phys
Odin silently waited outside while the princess finishes her meal. The alpha walked around to check the area for possible discovery, but luckily the cave was in a very secluded location, and he accidentally found it while he was on a hunt a year ago. After making sure that the cave was out of danger, he went back inside and caught Raini already putting away the empty containers back in the bag.The princess then covered half of her figure with the duvet Odin brought her, hugging her knees as she was seated near the bonfire, before giving the alpha an expectant look.“I’m ready. You can tell me everything now.”Odin subtly heaved a sigh and sat on the opposite side of the bonfire, fronting Raini with only the blazing fire separating them.“Where do you want me to start?”“Who ordered you to kill me?”Raini knew she might not get an answer to that question given that Odin looked like he belongs to the
“Koa…” Odin tried to roll his first-born cub’s name in his tongue, too.After knowing Raini was conceiving their little one, they had been preparing for the name of their offspring. Odin gave Raini the honor to choose whatever name she thinks would be best for the cub. Although living in captivity, Raini still had her princess status, so Odin trusted her with that. After a lot of thought, they both agreed to call him Koa which means brave warrior as he was born in the middle of his parents’ demise. Just like his parents, they were a family of warriors fighting for their survival.While cooing the cub, Raini softly gasped when she saw the print gradually appearing on his chest.“Odin, look.”The alpha also proudly watched the royal mark show on his son’s skin. However, their excitement over his mark slowly turned to worry when they only saw a half symbol. Raini looked up at Odin with her worried expressions.
After the battle between Crescent Luna and Moon Stone when he was still a baby, Tyr had only heard tales about it growing up. Wolves of their pack saying it was an uprising for territorial claims and some said it was to take over dominance in Moon Valley. The battle costs so many lives from both packs especially from Moon Stone who was caught off guard by the ambush. Tyr even thought the packs called a truce after that battle and had been coexisting ever since because Moon Stone chose to forgive the other pack for what happened. After what he saw from Zane’s necklace, it clearly wasn’t the case.Wanting to get everything out of his chest, Tyr immediately sought for the truth from his parents. Despite the expected anger from them crossing the borders, Tyr still told everything to his parents if he wanted to get the truth from them. It was already too much for Zane to know his parents died from what happened in the past, but Tyr wasn’t ready to know who was be
Esme and Seth gasped at the sight of their only son. They were just putting out the dishes from their simple dinner when their front door clicked open and revealed Zane.“Zane!” / “Oh, son.”The coupled almost called out at the same time. Esme carefully set aside the plates and gave her son a warm welcome hug. Zane snuggled between the space of his mom’s shoulder and neck, inhaling her familiar omega scent he missed a lot.Seth also joined the hug for a second before petting his son’s head.“We have missed you here.” Esme said while breaking the hug, caressing her son’s cheeks.Zane forced a smile, but he was still feeling glad he came home. “I’ve missed you both, too.”“Have you eaten?” Seth inquired.The younger omega glanced at him. “Is there any food left? I forgot to call home.”“Of course! Come here.” Esme happily e
King Alpha Frey and Odin of Moon Stone.Decades of great governance, Alpha Frey had established a great reputation not just in Moon Stone pack but also throughout Moon Valley. His name exuded greatness and respect to the pack wolves even before he became the pack alpha of Moon Stone. His prominent name even brought hope and power in the pack when he finally took over the throne. That’s why despite him bearing a son with only a half mark, a first in their pack, there wasn’t much judgment and condemnation against him or his son. Although there were other wolves who questioned Tyr’s ability to surpass or even come at par with his father’s character and leadership, the trust of the majority of the pack was still prevalent.Alpha Frey had always regarded his best friend, pack brother, and his most loyal subject as one of the main reasons why he was the pack alpha. Odin of Moon Stone grew up alongside him since they were children, turned
“I haven’t seen Zeev around. Did he not enroll this term?”Zane started the conversation. They agreed to talk on the rooftop where no students around to hear them. Zane didn’t have to tell Keira about it because his best friend automatically told him Theo will be taking him home so he could talk to Tyr. He wasn’t feeling happy about how Keira changed towards him, but he had no right to complain either. So, he just brought Tyr up on the rooftop for their pending talk.“I haven’t seen him for the past days either. Everyone’s looking for him, too.”Zane’s brows twitched; a glint of worry flashed in his eyes. “What? Why? What happened?”Tyr shrugged his shoulder and shook his head. “The last time I saw him was the night you left Moon Stone. He didn’t mention anything to me about him disappearing or what. He hasn’t answered any of my messages and calls. I wonder if you&rs
Ringing sound in Zane’s ears woke him up and it was still pitch black. He instantly squared up, feeling something binding around his waist that suspended his arm behind him. He could smell the awful smell of wormwood. He was guessing it might the plant around him which made him feel a bit weak.“Keira!”He wasted no time to call for his best friend. He got no response at first, but he was still relieved to sense his best friend not too far from him with her potent pheromones. They must have knocked her out, too.Zane tried to crawl on the floor when he felt another rope binding his feet, following Keira’s scent so he could keep her close to him in case anything happened. While he was struggling his way to Keira’s scent, he sensed at least three wolves approaching and that’s when someone removed the bag covering his head. Zane squinted his eyes, trying to adjust his sight from the faint light illuminating the unfamiliar and aba
Tyr twitched his eyes from the warmth of the sunlight bathing his entire room. He grunted away his drowsiness and stared at the window for a few minutes, feeling nostalgic and melancholic from the memories of him and Zeev he just saw. It seemed like a dream, but Tyr just knew they were his memories with his cousins. Before he dwelled on too much from it, Tyr detached himself from the comfort of his sheets to start his day. As planned, he took his breakfast in his parents’ house and while they weren’t still in their best terms, Alpha Frey and Tyr remained the same except it quite not sometimes – especially whenever the pack alpha reminds him about the succession. “Are you ready for tonight?” the luna asked in the middle of their meal with her soft voice. “Hmm… How about you?” Tyr replied while munching his food. “I’m excited! We are excited.” Morrigan looked her mate from her other side who just subtly nodded. “You… don’t have to come if you don’t want to.” the prince cleared his t
“I’ve seen the mark last night.” “Me too. It’s my first time seeing a half mark.” “It’s amazing but kind of scary at the same time.” “No wonder he never takes off his shirt during trainings.” It hasn’t even been twenty-four hours since his first shift happened, yet Tyr had become the talk of the pack after seeing his half mark for the first time. It was finally his thirteenth birthday, and royal marked wolves normally went through their first shift once they reach the age of thirteen. It was a day Tyr looked forward to and had a lot of worries at the same time because he’d be flaunting his half print to the entire pack for the first time. “Hey, go back to Alpha Camp. Marcus is waiting for everyone.” Tyr heard Zeev’s voice, making the gammas scattered and walked away. A subtle smile plastered on his face and felt Zeev’s hand over his shoulder – a very familiar habit from his only cousin. “Hey there young wolf.” “Hi, Zeev.” Tyr casually greeted back while the older guy beamed at
Zane’s wolf automatically bowed as well, acknowledging the presence of the Moon Stone alpha king. Tyr remained on his stand, waiting for his father to stop in front of him. “We heard your calling.” Alpha Frey communicated in their wolf bond. The betas started capturing the rogues while their highest-ranking wolves assessed their own matter. “I never meant to call the pack.” It seemed that the moon energy from Tyr hasn’t subsided just yet as his response almost came off upset. “Hand him over. He shall be punished.” Zane panicked after hearing the pack alpha and immediately stood tall on all fours and covered Zeev’s injured wolf from the sight of King Frey. “Please don’t kill him.” The pack alpha turned to Zane’s wolf. “The council will decide whether to kill him or not.” “No.” Tyr interrupted. “I get to decide whether to kill him or not. He’s my royal subject. I get to punish him.” King Frey’s wolf straightened on its back, almost dominating the wolf prince with his size. “I
‘Zane!’ Tyr almost screamed in their link to snap Zane out from Zeev’s mark. But his mate continued to charge at him, eyes losing their focus.The rogues surrounded them at Zeev’s command, watching the royal princes fought. Zeev had a victorious and mocking smirk on his face while enjoying his cousin’s situation. Killing Tyr wouldn’t be that exhilarating to Zeev if it wasn’t for Zane. Everything he planned out gradually came into play in front of his very eyes. He internally praised himself for doing an excellent job in conflicting pain and torture Tyr using Zane.Snarl!Zane’s wolf snarled at Tyr and started attacking him again. All Tyr could do was avoid Zane as much as he could, not wanting to hurt his mate.‘Zane! Please! Fight it!’ Tyr pleaded in their link.Even the rogues were enjoying the fight happening between Tyr an
Zeev saw the frustration and anger in Tyr’s eyes, his wolf was desperate to come out and devour him. When he saw that slight hesitation to turn, Zeev took the chance to play the situation into his advantage. He knew Tyr will be much stronger in his wolf form than him.“Careful, Tyr. Once you turn, I’ll feed Zane to the rogues.”Hearing this, Tyr’s jaw only clenched harder. The more he moved, the more Zeev penetrated his claws in Zane’s skin. He could feel the invisible tearing of his skin and the same pain Zane was enduring. The blood continued to drip down Zane’s body.Feeling the strong senses and urges inside him, Tyr’s brows furrowed and quickly looked up at the sky. That’s when he realized, it will be a full moon in a few minutes. With a lot going on in his mind, he forgot about the moon cycle for the first time. It must be another reason why Zeev started all this because of the full moon. Newborns are u
When Tyr entered the room, he accidentally caught Theo’s glare at Zane who was busy catching up with Keira. That’s when his nose twitched and noticed the unfamiliar wolf scent mixed in the human scents in the classroom. His steps slowed down while he scrutinized Theo’s side profile, gradually drawing suspicion on their human classmate.‘Zane.’ Tyr called out in their link as he took a seat.‘Yes? Did you receive a message from Zeev?’ Zane replied while listening to Keira.‘Do you smell something strange? Or rather oddly familiar?’ Tyr saw Zane twitched his nose from the side before he heard his response. ‘A wolf scent? In this room?’ Zane looked around their room and figured out who could it be.This gesture prompted Theo as he easily read Zane’s subtle action, but he remained calm and quiet.‘A newborn.’
Feeling the subtle movement on the bed, Zane slightly opened his eyes, still feeling heavy on his body but he could already feel much better than before he slept. He initially thought it was already morning, but the dim light of the room told him otherwise. In his blurry vision, he noticed Tyr tucking himself under the sheet as carefully as he could. He faintly smiled and when he felt Tyr’s figure beside him, he immediately wrapped his arm around his mate which made the latter a bit startled. That’s when Zane felt his necklace around him that made him completely open his eyes.“Did I wake you up? I’m sorry.” Tyr almost said in whisper.Zane held his necklace and looked at Tyr with questioning eyes. “What happened?” he asked after noticing the puffy eyes on Tyr.The wolf prince forced a smile. “Nothing.”“I don’t remember wearing this.” Zane referred to his necklace to which Tyr carefu
Zeev of Moon Stone. Born with a royal mark, son of Morrigan’s late sister, Zeev grew up only in the care of his older brother, Garren of Moon Stone. He was very close to Garren, treating him both as his mother and father. His brother took really good care of him, giving him every form of love and attention he wanted even though he was also a royal subject to Crown Princess Amaris. He was a bit spoiled at least by his brother, and he was happy to have him around. However, the bloody ambush of Crescent Luna against Moon Stone cost his brother’s life. The innocent four-year old Zeev witnessed how his brother died before his very eyes, and Amaris, who was also ripped by a royal wolf of another pack – both of them died protecting the three-month old Tyr. At such a young age, the loss of his brother and only family took a toll on little Zeev. The trauma negatively impacted his innocent mind, shutting everyone around him for years, and not even socializing wi
As if woken from his own trance, Tyr’s eyes jolted upon hearing Zane’s voice. His claws almost tore the rogue’s chest once again, but he just quickly knocked him out and let him drop unconscious to the ground. His head snapped to Zane and wasted no second to go to him. Tyr instantly hugged Zane, he could feel his chest drop at the bloody sight of his mate crouching on the floor.“I’m sorry. I should have gone faster.” his voice trembled from the mixture of fear and rage.“I-It’s okay.” Zane grunted the pain. When he broke the hug, he turned to his side and saw Keira looking so horrified and shocked about what just happened.“K-Keira…” when he was about to reach out for her, she shrunk on her shoulders and started shaking again.“They’re gone now. It’s okay.” Tyr assured her and was about to approach her, but she faintly yelped, afraid of hi
