Amarantha's POV

"I need you..."

Those words were very rare to people like me. It is rare to a point that I didn't even remember the first time I ever heard of that phrase.

I was totally dumbfounded. This Alpha King whom I hated the most ever since this war broke out turned out to be someone who needed me. I was now considered his lifeline.

No one has ever thought of me as their last straw of hope. I never once thought that I'm capable of having a life purpose. I only thought that surviving was the most important; surviving and defeating the werewolves. Then, after that, I didn't know what exactly I needed. I just wanted to get a normal life that was taken away from me. But that sense of purpose hadn't even sparked in my life. It felt like I was just striving hard to do something that I don't have a purpose for. And yet here I am being dragged into this mess that quite shook me into realizing that this was it.

This was what my purpose was. To be by his side. To be his safeguard, his saf

    Chapter 9: Amarantha's POV"We still have a problem, my king..." Beta Iñigo suddenly uttered after a brief silence.All of the council members looked at him, even Iram."What is it?""How do we do what the council wants? It is not something so simple, your grace. She's a human and we don't have any ways to make her into a real werewolf unless she'd turn into.""Oh, may I interrupt this conversation?" I blurted out. "You are talking about my well-being here. I get it that you hated me because I'm a human but turning me into a werewolf gravely violates my right to live. Turning me into a monster is not an option!" I clearly stated.Then, the Delta snarled at me showing his sharp teeth and glowing red eyes. His name is Redentus. By the looks of his physique, I could tell how he trained so well in physical battle. He has a broad chest and well-toned muscles. He is a bit red-skinned and has long hair. He looked younger than Iram. "You have no right to call us monsters! Your race is the real

It was something that I was supposed to learn before the war began but that was quickly taken away from me.Now that they're asking me this, all of their faces grimaced. Some of them started to ride away their horses after rolling their eyes at me.I shrugged. "Sorry, I just don't know how to..." I sincerely told Iram.He sighed exasperatedly and thought for a second. After that, I saw him nod at me and offered his arm outstretched to me. "Here. I'll lift you..."I accepted his hand and he pulled me up until I was seated before him. I gasped loudly; my eyes felt like they were about to bail out of my skull. The moment I was sitting there next to him felt like I was energized. His scent drove me again into a frenzy."Hold still. I won't pick you up if you fall..." he whispered to my ear.But because of the goosebumps, I wasn't able to react fast. When he

    Amarantha's POVThe evening came and Iram was still in his bed as advised by his pack doctor. But despite that, he was still open to his council members for a meeting.I had to be there since I needed to make sure that Iram's heart doesn't stop. I was a bit confident about my ability as his curse-breaker, though I knew that I was just a fake, I still believe that I have the same effect as his real curse-breaker.I saw his wounds healed in front of me when I touched his cheek. It was indeed magic!I was never a believer in magic or any kind of sorcery. But seeing what had happened earlier made me think twice.Maybe I was really a curse-breaker. Or someone who can heal others, not just him.Since Iram was injured, the council had decided to postpone the plan of finding the Rogue Witch.Gufu stood up. "My King, why don't we also postpone the announcement during the Full Moon Festival? We still have to make sure that everything is set before you face the members of the pack," he suggested.

"How many times do I have to remind you not to defy my orders?" he asked, containing his anger, hissing his words to not alert anyone outside the door of this chamber."I-I uh...""Haven't I told you that this day and tomorrow won't be too good for humans like you? What if I wasn't able to get to you in time? What if those wolves ate you?"I blinked. I just lowered my head, ashamed of my action earlier. I had been fancy thinking about getting away and not remembering that important note from the chambermaids. 'What an idiot!'Iram exasperatedly sighed and scratched his nape to ease the tension.Silence came and reigned between us.I took that chance to look around. The whole room is filled with darkness. It somehow felt eerie and cold. That kind of atmosphere disappeared when the Alpha King walked towards the window and closed it."Why do you despise my race that much, human?" he suddenly asked. His eyes were now

    Iram's POVI faced my pack members who came into the Full Moon festival. They were all seated at a table and looked at me in full respect. I greeted them all and then continued my plan for the announcement."Herein also is my great announcement to all of you..." I started. "I announce my utmost and sincerest plan on marriage." The crowd gasped and all of them clapped their hands. "I am happy to tell all of you that I already found my mate. So, in the future, I will be heralding her in front of you, but not today for she needs to settle things from her place.."The whole of Prima Tierra gave him congratulatory howls.After my announcement, the party went on and I couldn't think of anything but to go back to my secret place.I quickly exited the area and walked back to where I left her.I didn't know why I was feeling this way. I felt excited to see her. To feel her. To kiss her...I was also surprised to kiss her earlier but I didn't feel any disgust or guilt within me. I just felt ecs

She rolled her eyes at me. "Even if you don't tell me the truth, darling, I always know. Everyone knows that I know. Right from the moment you laid your eyes on mine..." she whispered to me.I didn't realize that she was already close to me. She cupped my chin and stared right into my eyes. Her pair of orbs became bright red.At that point, I thought that someone moved me. But when I examined myself, I was still there. It was just a feeling. It felt like someone nudged me a bit. It was as if my soul had been shaken.I hugged myself instantly. I heard Aruna laughing and faced Iram.Iram stood there closer to us and darted his angry eyes at the rogue witch. "If you think I would agree to this, think again! That human is mine. You can ask me anything but not her soul," he refused.I blinked at his words. Was

    Amarantha's POVA couple of days passed ever since my official release from 'my' prison, Iram's chamber. I was officially introduced to his pack members as his future Luna.I was introduced as Amarantha Randall, a daughter of a former Alpha from the East Isle Pack. I was told to memorize some of the important notes about this fictional she-wolf they wanted me to be. I was obedient enough to do that before the official introduction, but as I got to meet the ladies in the pack, I started to like my fictional character. I started to like the fact of having friends."Oh, future Luna. I didn't know that you are exceptionally beautiful! Are eastern she-wolves also look like us? You know... white and 'blondey'! Are they?" Meredith asked me. She is the mate of one of the generals in Iram's pack. She is a bit round but still beautiful with her red hair curled and ponytailed neatly behind her.She was overly describing my physique at that moment. I couldn't decide what to think. Was she doing t

    Amarantha's POV"S-sleep with him?" I blinked my eyes thrice after hearing those words from Iñigo.Was he making fun of me? How could someone like me, a human, be sleeping with someone like him, a werewolf? Was he nuts?!Iram just looked away and didn't comment any further.Looking back at Iñigo, he pretty much seemed too amused at how this meeting went. He was mocking me! He hid away his attempt to chuckle so loudly and faced me across the table. "No, Amarantha. What I mean is that our king must not sleep out from now on," he expounded.With that, I faintly sighed in relief and nodded. "Alright. I believe that he would choose a wise decision since it's his idea that we all came into this plan."*****After that meeting, I decided to go back to Iram's chamber and asked the chambermaids to slip me into a different dress. When I got out of the chamber, I gasped loudly when I hit something solid on my way out. I even touched it using both of my hands.As I looked up, I saw Iram's serious

    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

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.

    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

"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!

    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
