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
Omnibus' POVI removed all the embarrassing thoughts from my head as I licked Scar's wound on his back.It was a deep gash that was still oozing with his blood.The moment I salivate his wound, the clearer our hopes went on. The wound slowly closed in. It was slowly coming back into its old form, but not perfectly. It had formed a scar, just like his name. It was because he was bleeding profusely for long hours without any remedies to stop it.After seeing that phenomenon, I quickly flinched and headed back to the room I used earlier.I spent my time there but I couldn't stop thinking about what I did.I still felt so embarrassed for licking someone else's wound. I wanted to give myself a heavy dab for being so generous to the rogues. Apollo wasn't pleased as well. He was as embarrassed as I am. We both knew that we were preserving ourselves for our mates.Some sly men from Prima Tierra and the rest of the rogues might consider my principles a laughing stock but it's the truth.I had
