Amarantha's POV I saw many things a human shouldn't have at this time of age.As girls leaving in Scotland, we could have been enjoying the traditions and swooning about the magic of love in wedding ceremonies.I was once that typical woman. But in today's generation where I live in a world where another creature coexisted with humans, I beg to differ.Human girls would still prefer marrying rather than choosing to be of service to the people.I became the Luna Queen of Europe.Years passed. Other packs reshaped the way they thought about the world. The Alpha King and I are devout to be of service to the werewolf society. It was a tough job as many ridiculed me for being a human.Many also ridiculed Iram for the rumors of him being cursed by the Moon Goddess. But I stayed by his side and never left him.I showed them that the curse was nothing but propaganda to oust him from his post as the Alpha King.Inima already explained things to us. Before she died, she revealed everything inc
Prologue Amarantha's POV"Claim me..." I whispered breathlessly."As you wish, human..." He started to deepen the kiss. My resolve had been shaken unbeknownst to his majesty. The heat I am feeling was too overwhelming that with his every touch, I moan. I lose control."Take me now..." I moaned again. "Take whatever's left of me. Love me, my cursed Alpha..."~~~~~ Chapter 1Amarantha's POV "What do you want from me?!" I shouted at the rogue, trying to protect my body."We need to exercise our rights, slave. When we see humans, we either kill them or toy with them..." he said, grinning. Then, the others chorused laughter with him. Rogues were like this to all humans and now, I became one of their victims.This rogue gave me the deepest wound that will forever be with me.He gave me a scar on my right upper arm. It was a deep gash. My blood streamed down slowly, taking my life away."No!" I shouted in pain.Lastly, the leader of the rogues came smirking down at me. "What a piece of whi
Amarantha's POVThe howling soon became louder when I and the three black wolves crossed an unfamiliar stone bridge. It was half-wrecked, tainted by mortar rusts and carbon mixtures.It was the road to hell in a literal meaning. My vigilant eyes started to shift from side to side. I couldn't help but puke. On my knees, I chucked up all of what remained in my stomach. I must be so dizzy from the long travel. These werewolves didn't even use their agility in taking me here faster instead, they let me suffer a long death march.I heard the wolves growl in anger and impatience behind me. I hadn't even wiped my mouth when one of them dragged me back until I'm forced to walk again. Both of my feet were chained up as well as my hands. I walked with heaviness. My head started to feel the stirring. Everywhere I turned my head the objects in front of me started to get blurry, and the earth felt like spinning around me. I would seldom tumble. The sound of the wolves howling unearthly cries was al
Amarantha’s POVHis fierce set of marbles kept blazing like fire. It was darted to his opponent. That moment was so unbelievable that I almost choked up inhaling the air.As soon as he displayed his anger and authority, I was able to see the details on his face. For how many times I've seen slaughter before my eyes, the times I now began to feel awe at this very thing that I feared the most.The man which they called the Alpha King was there killing intruders inside this cave. His long and sharp nails appeared and clawed all of them one by one. The human slaves were asked by the Alpha King's Iotas to exit the cave and go back to the huge dungeon. Everything happened so fast that I lost count of the moments. I just heard him instructing me on something."Hide!" he shouted at me and then continued battling with the assassins.I hid behind clay furniture and watched him easily killing them all.I was still frozen at that moment. I couldn't even move my mouth to speak. I found him dragging
Amarantha’s POVThis creature in front of me was the epitome of fear. All of the humans were frightened of him. This huge kind of a man was none other than the Alpha King himself.I have never heard of his name before. This day had been terribly too fast and I wasn't able to know his name yet. Suddenly, I felt the urge to know it. But I couldn't ask him. I felt bashful suddenly.My emotions felt like they were playing with me. And I've grown to hate that fact.This Alpha King... I should be hating him to the core. He was the reason for all of the disasters in my country. Ever since humans had fallen under the food chain, we became outcasts; slaves of our own planet. But paradoxically, my knees hated the fact that they quiver at his presence and yet felt so longing for his touch. I was having this weird notion inside of me that I shouldn't be feeling. Something inside me screamed haywire yearning to be touched.Never did I have this kind of thought since my existence in this world. But
Iram’s POVIn my mind, I was like raising a million miles endlessly. I couldn't seem to get it off my head.Her scent troubled me. I was never troubled like this in my entire life. How could a mere human smell like cinnamon and rose at the same time? It was a weird combination. Though I find it amusing to know that her scent was sweet seeping inside my nostrils and never leaving my system, that was also the very thing that I hated the most. I can never feel gullible to anyone yet I'm starting to feel like one in front of her. To a mere human.That brazen human. How can she come to me and ask for something I couldn't control? Slaves are slaves, be it the lowest rank in the werewolf species or humans, if they are deemed to be killed, no one must interfere with that. The royal decree declared the slaves' fate inside Prima Tierra Pack. But in just a blink of an eye, I found myself obeying her request like I was considering her to be my actual Luna. I became submissive. And it hurt my ego
Amarantha’s POVI was trying to wrack my brain in finding out one significant memory that could make me trace a moment in my life when someone had protected me from anyone who tried to harm me.I tried looking back at my childhood memories.Was it my parents? My friends perhaps?Yes, they did. They were protective of me before. But those memories were slowly fading like faceless people who only occupy my dreams at night.It felt like they never existed before. It felt like they were fantasies that I built on my own.Due to the war, those little cherished memories of mine were slowly fading and were replaced by fear day by day. That fear turned into restlessness, hopelessness, and ignorance of my youth. I began to strain the records of my past until I couldn't hold one.That was when I saw that same moment today. It was when my hater began to protect me. My mortal enemy, the Alpha King.It was a nice morning to wake up, actually. It was my first time waking up on a soft bed with pillows
Amarantha's POVI opened my eyes after dreaming of something unbelievable.In my dreams, I saw myself staring at Iram's peaceful state. I was lying beside him, watching him sleep safely and soundly. It was a bubbly feeling during that time. I remembered myself shivering in the cold as I was still wearing the same outfit as before. A thin sheet of dress that I wore during the choosing ceremony. The one that a strange man came to give me. I didn't remember that I wore this myself but it feels like it was yesterday.Now that I remember that, I wonder where did that mysterious man go after that? He seemed to be in haste when he gave me the dress. I wonder what was it for other than to make sure I was chosen.Then, it hit me big time. The fact that I was only chosen because of this dress made me shudder in fear. If this was so, does it mean that I'm also incapable of healing Iram?I gasped at that thought. It felt like I woke up in a dream and then woke up again. This time, I saw the observ

Iram's POV Right after Omnibus left, memories started to rush inside of me...Omnibus came to me inside the library with quite a surprise.He was with Lorna.I narrowed my eyes in confusion. "Lorna? What are you doing here? You were with her?" I asked Omnibus.He shrugged and pointed at her. "She said she has to say something to you."I turned to her again and waited for her to say something.She heaved a sigh and faced me. "Alpha King. Please forgive me for fooling you, but please hear me out before it's too late..." she suddenly uttered."What do you want to tell me?""I am not Lorna Ferrel. I am a Chimera. Someone that has two souls, two wolves in one body. With that, I have two fated mates. And one of them was you..."I arched my brow at her. I am starting to get annoyed. "What nonsense are you talking about? Are you trying to fool me right now?""I am telling you the truth. I am none other than your first mate. Inima Wahlberg. Beta Iñigo's dead sister. I am her. I am that fated
Omnibus' POV After that conversation with Luna Amarantha and Shintara, I felt like my energy was drained from me.At night, King Iram asked for my audience. Still, a bit disarrayed, I forced myself to get up and came to his chamber.He sat at a table and poured a drink. He smiled and gestured his hand to me. "Come and join me here, Omnibus!" he delightfully invited me.My shoulders slumped at the scene and frowned at him. "Wow! I'm dying inside and you're celebrating? Do I look like a joke to you, Iram?" I casually asked.He snorted and patted the empty chair. "It's not for celebration, idiot!"I gasped. "Woah! When did you learn to cuss at me, brother?""Shintara taught me well, don't worry!" he laughed.I frowned and rolled my eyes. "Did you just call me to make fun of my broken heart?"Iram chuckled again and placed the glass in front of me. "Drink."I sighed and stared at the glass before drinking the beer in it. "Is it so wrong to feel guilty about Amarantha's twin sister? I mea
Amarantha's POV During the lunch with the Alpha King, the two love birds can't stop bickering at each other. They sent sharp daggers at each other and then turned away in contempt.I couldn't help but sigh."Can someone please tell me what's happening?" Iram asked but I just turned to him and shook my head."Don't ask. They won't budge. Trust me."***** After that, Iram had to leave us three for some peace talks with other packs.I was left with the two still not happy with each other's company."Do you want to reject each other? Is that it?" I asked."No!" they both angrily replied."Well, then, kiss and make up already!""It's not that simple, Luna!" Shintara reasoned. "I don't want to get married to a man who is still stuck with his past!""And I wouldn't want to marry a woman who still thinks she knows better! Fine by me!" Omnibus butted in.I rolled my eyes and massaged my temples. After that, I faced them. "Let's be clear here. Ava is dead. My twin sister is dead. So, what's t
Amarantha's POV I smiled at the boy who asked that question and patted his shoulder. "Good question, dear!" I told him delightfully. "Because I don't want to change everything in me. I accept who and what I am as I am made to be who I am."If I try to change myself, then I would have no face to show in front of my original race. I wouldn't have convinced them into this peace. Most importantly, the new rules would be irrelevant to those people who wanted peace. Because if I become the face of someone who isn't proud of who I am, then what will become of others? They wouldn't be happy to see me not so proud of how I was brought into this world."The people sympathized with my words and understood me.For me, it wasn't just because of the humans that I stayed human. For me, I chose to stay who I am because I am happy with who I am.God made me a human for a purpose. He wanted me to reach this far for me to know what I should do. And this was it."Roaming around again?" Beta Omnibus teas
Amarantha's POV We immediately left Nottingham with a brief announcement to leave.I could not wait for Emerett's approval anymore. I just told him that I await his answer but he has to deliver it with action.Shintara and I immediately landed on Prima Tierra. With her swift strides, we came back in a span of 30 minutes.I was shocked to see the scenery.I saw Iram's wolf fighting against Iñigo's wolf. Some of Prima Tierra's soldiers were losing."No one came from Ouse?" I asked worriedly."We need stalling, Luna. You must go to the border and let them in. I will help others in here," Shintara said then left. She fought alongside the soldiers.I frustratingly ran toward the border. Some were about to attack me but luckily, a familiar wolf came and killed two of the werewolves."Omnibus?""How are you doing, Luna? Be careful!" he shouted, then led me to the border. After that, he left me alone.Not long enough, the pack of rogues came.The leader shifted into his human form and faced
Amarantha's POV "We have to hurry!" Shintara shouted at me.I was having second thoughts about leaving Iram behind. I didn't feel cool with this. Something is bothering me."What are you taking so long?" she asked, irritated. "We're almost there, Luna!""I can't just do this. Something is not right, Shintara. What if something happened to them?""Quit overthinking and let's focus on this task. Do you not want this for your people?"She's right. I was too busy worrying about Iram. He can handle himself. He is very strong unlike me who is just a mere human who can only heal him if he needs me.After that thought, I decided to follow Shintara's tracks. Shintara shifted into her large white wolf form. She let me ride behind her as she swiftly glided through the forest.We reached the Ouse River in front of the Rogue Alpha's tavern.They displayed hostility but when they saw Shintara's wolf, they all scowled away in fear and backed down.Shintara shifted back to her human form and faced t
Iram's POV "Your Majesty! They are already here! The traitors!" one of the Iotas shouted.I clenched my jaw in anger and faced the army I have prepared. "Gather all the citizens and make sure they are safe in one place. Close all exit points once they enter our pack." I turned to my right. "Gamma, choose one Iota you trust the most to relay my message. We need their help right now. Do you understand?"Omnibus nodded. "Yes, your majesty!" He faced his men and picked one for the work. That was when Shintara appeared.She crossed her arms and confidently looked at her mate. "I will lead that part. Count me in!" she volunteered."Are you sure you're going to do this?" he asked worriedly."Hey, if I ever was born rich like you, I would have been the Alpha King's Gamma. Don't pamper me too much."I scoffed at their bickering. But I no longer hated cheesy moments like this.I looked over my shoulder and smiled at the lady that lit up my whole life. "My Luna! How are you feeling?"Amarantha
Iñigo's POV "What are you saying, Oliver? Are you saying that the Luna was kidnapped?" Delta Redentus asked."Y-yes, Delta.""Where is your evidence? You cannot just say that in this court without evidence!" Gufu also uttered."I do have, Zeta. I have solid proof. But first, I want to ask the Alpha King about his recollection of this...""What is his involvement?"Oliver faced Iram and bowed his head. "My King. I would like to ask you a question...""Go ahead..." he replied."That night when you punished the luna after not eating the food you prepared for her, did you remember how you treated her? Specifically, where did she stay and who was with her?" Oliver asked curiously.Iram's forehead creased in confusion. "I don't quite remember everything. It was too bloody hellish that night that I didn't want to remember..." he answered honestly. "But I do remember approving to have her guarded by many Iotas," he added.My heart raised a million miles after hearing those words from him.Co
