Iram's POVThe day of the Royal Decree had finally arrived at my doorstep. The Royal Council members ensembled inside the hall. They all had prepared for this day. The day I needed to announce my decision for the Luna of Prima Tierra Pack.Before this day came, I asked my Iotas to find Amarantha and secure her inside her chamber. I've tried my best to control myself not to see her back then. I needed to keep my distance away from her as much as possible.I didn't want her to see me in this state of mind. I might not be able to survive. Seeing her makes me do things I shouldn't. It makes me weak throughout my body.For two days, it felt like an eternity. But this day had finally come.I needed to do this.When I reached the entrance, the Iota assigned at the door announced my presence. As the door opened, all of my constituents stood up and gave me a bow of respect.There, at the side, I saw Amarantha. She kept her distance away from the council members as much as possible. Her figure
Amarantha's POV This day should have been against me. I was ready to be ousted. I already accepted the fact that I would no longer be needed inside the pack.But when that royal decree began, it changed everything that I thought. It changed my life's course... forever.I was saved. Saved by him. The Alpha King.He dragged me out of the room while the members of the Royal Council eyed me ruefully. They wanted me dead. They wanted to see me suffer just like any other human slaves they had captured.I knew I should shudder in fear but clearly, I just let the king drag me out as if I was just a kid who needed some guidance."Where are you taking me?" I uttered a question. It was faint that it became a whisper and almost impossible to even hear.I just thanked the heavens that he didn't respond.The route was not toward my chamber.I smiled wryly at myself. Of course, who was I kidding? Iram could have trampled me right in front of others if he wanted to, but he didn't. I thought it was b
Amarantha's POV Iram and Amarantha had a sensual night of kisses. They both were so into it that they had forgotten about many things.Amarantha is now fully determined to give her all to him. She was willing to surrender to him.Amarantha's POVHumans can only harbor certain things they can easily comprehend.For us, it's only normal to fall in love and then cry after being shattered so badly.It's only normal to redeem oneself and then fall in love again. It was not because humans are polygamous or have a lot of hearts to give to others. It was because they are made out of pure love; made to nurture and return love to everyone they cherished.And now, I'm certain that I wasn't feeling something because of magic. It wasn't because of werewolf instinct. It wasn't because of that underdress.It was because I'm in love with him.I'm in love with Iram.It was a bizarre kiss. Electrodes started to infiltrate my whole being. I didn't know how was able to bring me in front of his chamber.
Omnibus' POV I focused on the target. I positioned my body. I knelt on one knee and held the ground, ready to take flight.I have a 40-kilometer radius away from my target. I could see it right from where I stood. It was a large canopy tree right in my same position. I've been running since 3 o'clock using that as a finish line.I counted from one to three. My chest was moving up and down as I was trying to keep up with my usual breathing. I removed all the doubts and other hindrances inside my head. I needed to focus. To completely empty my mind of doubts.I started running. Fast and graceful. I ran in the forest of Prima Tierra. The wind was swift to blow against my skin. It somehow relieved my anxiety. I made sure I would break my own record for running 60 kilometers per hour. It was my new record at my previous run.As I neared the finish line, her face showed up inside my head again. I shook my head and closed my eyes.Not again. Not now.I kept on shaking my head until I hit a
Omnibus' POV I knew when King Iram made me lead a battalion for an expedition, I would greatly suffer a great loss.I knew right from the start. But what made me willingly agree to it was the most I wanted to know.Somehow, I wanted this. To end everything. The pain of losing someone I love was too great that I couldn't take it. I somehow agreed to this suicidal mission.King Iram may have trusted me for my ability, but I didn't trust myself now.Right from the moment when the rogue was about to lunge at me, I accepted defeat. I accepted my death. From this day forth, I will not see her again. I will no longer make her suffer because of my presence. She wouldn't be guilty of anything and just continue to fulfill her duty as a curse-breaker.I will no longer see her smile. Her warmth; was all because of her joyous approach. Her presence made my whole existence colorful. With meaning. With reason.When I found out that she was my mate, I was the happiest. I was too overjoyed. At last,
Shintara's POV "I'll do it..." I volunteered.Lorna widened her eyes at me with a touch of worry. "A-are you sure, Tara?"I nodded. "It's dangerous outside. Scar's injured and that means we're the only ones who can move. And you're human so, basically, you need to be with him," I informed her.We were talking about collecting twigs and wood outside. The fireplace seemed running out of heat for scar and Lorna.Lorna is scar's human mate. They haven't actually claimed each other since they just met, but Lorna and I were friends before. I was happy that Scar found his mate but a little worried for he was expecting his mate to be a she-wolf.And now that Scar was injured due to other rogues trying to corner him, he couldn't move.Lorna signed and nodded at her. She scratched the scar on her neck and turned to me. "Alright. But just so you know, I would be really sad if you get hurt as well. Please be careful, Tara..."I nodded and smiled. "Don't worry about me. I can manage." I brought th
Omnibus' POV I saw the relaxed face of the woman they called Shintara Welch. With her scent, I could tell that she's a rogue. A tamed rogue.She was not the type to cause terror, rather she was like a rainbow who quickly hid herself from her own pack. Her scent was the same as the white wolf who helped me. From then on, I knew that she wasn't as bad as I was picturing her.I had been tossing and turning inside this room for ages, thinking I might been held captive by rogues and try to pressure everything on King Iram for their freedom around Ouse River. As I had heard, Ouse had been a large den of rogues ever since. But when the war began, it was King Iramus' decree to hold Ouse back from the grasps of the rogues. Ouse had been a memorial place for Prima Tierra Pack. It was believed that it is the river where the pack had started.And this task was given to me at an urgency due to the reports of hostile rogues trying to kill humans instead of just scaring them out of Europe.It was K
Shintara's POVLorna raised her hands sideways, stopping me from what I was planning to do. She shook her head. Her face was stained with her tears. Her hair was unkempt and the lines under her eyes started to become visible."Please, Tara. Listen to me. Your brother needs medical attention. If we don't ask for his help, he'll be dead by now!" she shouted, pressure was killing her.I sighed. I knew she was just trying to help my brother feel better. If it wasn't because of that brat Alfred, none of these would have happened to him.Scar was already pale. A lot of blood was wasted. His body couldn't heal himself even if he was with his mate. If we don't do anything, he would die after 5 hours. The only resort we need was someone from Prima Tierra. Someone who can have the ability to heal others.I shook my head at her. "He's not a pack doctor, Lorna. He's just a Gamma. They only fight, not heal. So we stop this and let him go," I told her.Lorna's idea was to take hostage of Omnibus an
