“What?” River gasped. “Tell me the details quickly.” She urges Selene.

“That’s all you need to know for now. All things will be revealed in due time.” Selene answered, stooped within River and went to sleep.

In spite of River’s many prodding, Selene remained silent and hidden. River had no choice but to sleep too. She dreamt of faceless Axel chasing her with a big sheet of parchment.

River ran in the dream, trying to hide from her attacker, but Selene suddenly appeared beside her and lunged at the enemy. River became stronger in the dream and fought, the two of them a great team. The enemy ran away, tail between her legs.

And River woke up happy. She was assured by her wolf’s presence. Her enemies will be put to flight if they dare to attack her. Since Thane demanded for space, River decided to keep herself busy that day by becoming stronger.

She had read all the books with her except the ones she could not understand. So, she decided to visit the pack house’s library. River pushed

    “I’ve found it!” River shouted then covered her mouth quickly, in order to disturb the stillness of the night and sleeping residents of the pack house.“It is the Scepter of King Sebastian Vettella!” River whispered to Selene. Some other writings in the scroll then began to make sense.“Whoever owns the Sacred Scepter will rule the Lycan Kingdom forever. His pack shall reign supreme and flourish through all generations. The Scepter holds the power to control all supernatural beings and maintain peace with humans.In the hand of the righteous ruler, it brings blessing; if with the wicked, it unleashes curse eternally.”River’s eyes widened as she read the ancient texts. Such a powerful artifact!No wonder it was well hidden. It could bring disaster if accidentally discovered. River wondered if Thane and Theresa knew about the scepter. Alpha Malcolm would definitely know about it. River checked the date on the parchment. Over a century old! She pondered about the artifact. If it

    River considered confronting Bea but she was not sure that she added anything to Thane’s water that particular day. She decided to wait for Bea to leave the kitchen before she would go back to her room and decide what to do with Bea. But then, she saw Bea rest her back against the kitchen wall, her head bowed and tears were dropping from her eyes.“I don’t know what to do. I am suspecting Luna Axel. It seems she is harming Young Alpha through me. I am obliged to obey her because she got me this job and saved me from the slave traders. I won’t harm my Master. No, I will not. But… my family. What should I do?” Bea thought.And River heard Bea’s thoughts from her hiding place. She saw as Bea brought out the potion vial from her apron pocket, shook her head and returned it without opening. River nodded in understanding. Bea was on her way to redemption already.As the morning meal was served, River blended into the background, observing as Thane and the others ate and drank, unaware of t

    Since Bea confessed without knowing that River already found her out, River decided to be lenient with her. She asked Bea to submit all the potion vials to her room and keep pretending as if she was doing Axel’s bidding. Grateful for being pardoned and an opportunity to seek redemption, Bea did as instructed. River herself took up the duty of changing Thane’s water. Thane initially raised eyebrows but decided to let River be, as long as she did not disturb him. During another visit to the library, River gathered all the books that caught her interest, her arms cradling them like precious treasures, and returned to her room. She dove into the stories, devouring every word, every sentence. Hours melted away, the fire crackling, and the moon rising high in the night sky.As she read, inspiration stirred within River. Alero's courage, Kaid's resilience, and the other stories merged into a symphony of hope. Her heart swelled, filling with a newfound sense of purpose. She knew that these

    River's fingers trailed the spine of the next book, its leather cover worn smooth by countless readings. "The Lame Warrior's Triumph," she whispered, opening the pages to reveal the tale of Kaid.Thane's eyes sparkled with curiosity as River began to read:"Kaid, a warrior injured in battle, was deemed unfit for later battles. Yet, he refused to accept fate's dictate. Instead, he honed his mind, sharpening his wit and strategic thinking."As River spoke, Thane's imagination conjured Kaid's determined face, his eyes burning with a fire that would not be extinguished."Kaid studied the ancient art of warfare," River continued, "poring over dusty tomes and seeking wisdom from battle-hardened veterans. He learned to adapt, to outmaneuver, and to outthink his foes."Thane's gaze intensified, his mind racing with the possibilities. He saw Kaid, limping across the battlefield, yet leading his troops to victory through sheer force of will."Kaid's greatest strength lay not in his physical pro

    River shrugged. “Just because. If not for your injury, you are meant to be a great alpha, leading the pack into victory. That is a great destiny, right?”Thane's eyes flashed with anger, but River held his gaze, her own eyes filled with compassion and understanding. “The fact that you are bound to the wheelchair presently does not mean that is the end of your life. No. we must find a way to break the spell hindering your cure and get you cured. Then, you can become the pack’s alpha and even achieve greater things. I know you can do it, Thane.”Slowly, the tension in his body began to ease, replaced by a deep sadness."I feel so trapped," Thane whispered, his voice cracking. "I want to protect you, to keep you safe. But I'm stuck in this chair, unable to do anything."River's hand tightened around his, offering what comfort she could. "You're not alone, Thane," she said. "I'm here with you, and together, we'll face whatever challenges come our way."As she spoke, River leaned forward,

    Thane's mood had shifted, like the changing tides. The darkness that once shrouded him began to recede, replaced by a sense of purpose.As River closed the book, Thane's gaze drifted toward the guards stationed at the clearing's edge. Their watchful presence served as a reminder: Axel's pack still lurked in the shadows, waiting to strike. Just like the rogue wolf.Despite the looming threat, Thane felt a sense of calm wash over him. River's stories had awakened something within – a resilience he thought he had lost."River," Thane said, his voice low and thoughtful, "I feel like I have been sleepwalking through life, since that incident. But hearing Alero's and Kaid's stories, it is like I am waking up."River's smile was warm, encouraging. "That is the power of knowledge, Thane. We can find strength in our weaknesses."Thane's eyes locked onto River's, his expression serious. "But what about Axel's pack? They will not stop until they have destroyed everything."River's gaze flicked t

    The following morning, Thane's eyes narrowed as he contemplated Axel's threat. He knew he could not take her on physically, not in his wheelchair. But River's stories had taught him that true strength lay in strategy and resilience.He stared at the crumpled threat note on his desk. Axel's words seared into his mind: "Thane will never be yours. You will pay for interfering." The audacity of her claim ignited a fire within him. A soft knock on the door at that moment produced River, bright and lively."How dare she?" Thane muttered, his fingers tightening into fists.River, sensing his tension, placed a gentle hand on his shoulder as she saw the note squeezed into her palm by the elusive personality from Axel. "Thane, don't let her get to you." River said, trying to calm him down.But Thane's anger had already simmered into determination. He would not let Axel dictate his life. Not after everything he had been through."You know what really got to me?" Thane said, his voice low and e

    Thane sat tall in his wheelchair, River beside him, Theresa and Zara flanking them. Alpha Kieran and Axel faced them, confident. The duel of wits began in earnest."You are a fool for challenging me, Thane," Axel sneered. "Your crippled body reflects your weak mind. You will never walk again."Thane's eyes locked onto Axel's. "That is not the end of life or usefulness," he said, his voice firm. "A tree that does not walk can still provide shade. Stillness can be strength."Axel snorted. "You are just a shell of your former self."Thane smiled wryly. "A river does not need to be turbulent to be deep. My worth is not measured by my physical strength."The guards with Alpha Malcolm, Beta Eric and Commander Ryker, who had come to witness the duel, clapped for Thane at his preparedness. They were happy with his confidence and were beginning to enjoy this. River wore a proud look on her face as she sat beside Thane. Theresa and Zara gave a silent thumbs up to Thane, a broad grin on their f

    As the months passed, Thane and River's love for each other only grew stronger. They were each other's rock, supporting and loving each other through the ups and downs of parenthood.One day, as they were sitting on the palace steps, watching Atlas play in the gardens, Thane turned to River and said, "You know, I never thought I'd be this happy. But here I am, with you and Atlas, and I couldn't ask for anything more."River smiled, her eyes shining with tears. "I know exactly what you mean," she said. "I never thought I'd find my true mate, but here you are, and I couldn't be happier."Thane wrapped his arm around her, pulling her close. "I love you, River," he said. "More than anything in this world."River leaned into him, her heart full of love. "I love you too, Thane," she said. "Forever and always."As the sun began to set, casting a warm glow over the palace gardens, Thane and River sat together, watching their son play and laughing together. They knew that their love would last

    As the warm sunlight of summer streamed through the windows of the palace, River's slender fingers trembled with anticipation as she lifted the delicate, porcelain cup. Her eyes, shining with excitement, fixed upon the subtle, yet unmistakable, signs that danced within. The soft, golden light of the morning sun cast a serene and wondrous glow upon the scene, filling River's heart with joy and her spirit with wonder.As she gazed upon the cup's contents, a soft gasp escaped her lips, and her eyes sparkled with unbridled delight. The telltale signs of her condition, once a source of hope and longing, now stared back at her, a beacon of promise and new life. River's heart swelled with emotion as she thought of Thane, her beloved mate and king, and the news that she could hardly wait to share with him.With the delicate cup still clutched in her hand, River made her way to the grand throne room, where Thane sat, surrounded by the trappings of his power and authority.

    Raymond looked up at her, his eyes filled with tears. "River, please forgive us," he begged. "We were wrong to treat you the way we did. We realize that we made a terrible mistake."River's expression softened slightly as she looked at her family. Thane could see the conflict in her eyes, the struggle to forgive and move on."I don't know," she said finally. "I need time to think about it."Thane nodded, his eyes never leaving River's face. He knew that this was a difficult decision for her, and that she needed time to think about it."Take all the time you need," he said. "But for now, let's get them out of the cold. We can talk more about this inside."River nodded, and Thane led her family into the palace, leaving the cold and darkness of the outside world behind.As they sat in the palace, surrounded by the warmth and comfort of the lavish furnishings, Raymond, River's father, looked at her with tears in his eyes. "River, I'm so sorry for the way I treated your mother, Catherine

    Thane's heart went out to River, and he wrapped his arms around her, holding her close. "I'm sorry, River," he whispered. "I didn't realize..."River shook her head, her voice barely above a whisper. "It's not your fault, Thane. It's just... I never wanted this for them. I never wanted them to suffer like this."Thane held her close, feeling a deep sense of compassion and understanding. He knew that River's family had wronged her in the past, but he also knew that she still cared for them, still loved them despite everything.As they stood there, holding each other, Thane knew that he had to do something to help River's family. He couldn't just leave them to suffer, not when River was hurting so much.He looked at the guard, his eyes narrowing with determination. "We'll take care of this," he said. "We'll make sure River's family is safe and provided for."The guard nodded, looking relieved. "Thank you, my king," he said.Thane turned back to River, his eyes filled with love and compa

    The morning after the coronation, Thane woke up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. He stretched his arms and yawned, feeling the weight of his new responsibilities as the Lycan King. He got out of bed and began to get dressed, his mind already racing with the tasks that lay ahead.As he finished dressing, River came into the room, looking radiant in a flowing white gown. "Good morning, my king," she said, with a curtsy.Thane smiled and pulled her into a hug. "Good morning, my queen," he replied. "I have a busy day ahead of me. I want to start making plans for the palace."River's eyes lit up. "That's a great idea," she said. "The council chamber is nice, but it's not exactly fit for a king."Thane chuckled. "I was thinking the same thing," he said. "I want to build a palace that will be a symbol of our power and prosperity. Something that will make our packs proud."River nodded enthusiastically. "I love it," she said. "But it's going to be a big project. Who are you going to put in

  • ALPHA ON WHEELS: Cured by His Wolfless Mate   LYCAN CORONATION

    The day of the coronation of Thane as the Lycan King and River as his Queen dawned bright and clear, with a warm sun shining down on the gathered packs. The air was filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers and the sound of birds singing their morning songs.The packs had gathered in the grand courtyard of the Lunar Pack's den, their faces filled with excitement and joy. The courtyard was decorated with colorful streamers and banners, and a large throne made of solid oak had been placed at the far end.Thane and River stood before the throne, dressed in their finest attire. Thane wore a tailored black suit with a silver vest, while River wore a beautiful white gown with intricate lace details. They both looked regal and majestic, and the packs couldn't help but gaze at them in awe.Gavin, the old Council leader, stepped forward to begin the coronation ceremony. He raised his hands, and the packs fell silent, waiting for him to speak."My dear friends and pack members," Gavin beg

    Thane turned to River, his eyes seeking her support. "River, my Luna, I call on you to recite the prophecy on the map about the scepter," he said.River stepped forward, her voice clear and confident. "The prophecy states that the scepter shall be wielded by the rightful owner, and that owner is Thane," she said. "If the scepter is in the right hand, it shall bring prosperity and greatness to our packs. But if it falls into the wrong hand, it shall bring curse and destruction, as we have seen with Axel.""'When the moon is full and the stars align,A leader will rise, with power divine.A Luminari mate besides;He will wield the scepter, as the right owner;And unite our people, forever to last.'"The room fell silent, the Alphas looking at Thane with newfound respect. They realized that the prophecy was clear: Thane was the rightful owner of the scepter, he had a Luminari mate and he was the only one who could wield its power for the good of their packs.Gavin, the Council leader, no

    As the group began to move out of the room, Attila turned to Zara, his eyes filled with concern."Are you okay?" he asked, his voice low and gentle.Zara nodded, her face still pale. "Yes, I'm fine," she said. "Just a little shaken up."Attila's face softened, and he pulled her into a gentle hug. "I'm here for you," he said. "I'll always be here for you."As they hugged, Zara felt a sense of comfort and security wash over her. She knew that she was safe with Attila, and that he would always be there to protect her.River called out to Zara, her voice gentle but firm. "Zara, can you come here and help me with the Alphas? They're starting to stir, and I need someone to assist me with their treatment."Zara hurried over to River, her heart still racing from the earlier events. As she approached, she saw that the Alphas were indeed starting to stir, their eyes fluttering open as they took deep breaths.River handed Zara a small pouch containing various herbs and potions.

    Axel's eyes suddenly turned wild and unhinged, her pupils dilating as she gazed at the scepter in her hand. She raised it up, her arm trembling with an otherworldly energy, and a black smoke erupted from the scepter, striking the nearby Alphas.The air was filled with the sound of screams and groans as the Alphas fell to the ground, unconscious. The room descended into chaos, with pack members running for the doors, desperate to escape the madness that had consumed Axel.Alpha Kieran, Axel's mate, shouted for help, his voice hoarse with desperation. "Someone, please! Help her!" he cried, his eyes fixed on Axel in horror.Axel's feet lifted off the ground, her body suspended in mid-air as she continued to channel the dark energy of the scepter. Malcolm, Thane, and Attila approached her cautiously, their eyes fixed on the scepter as if it was a snake that might strike at any moment.River, who had been watching the scene unfold, quickly removed her Luminari chain and pointed the pendant
