Omnibus' POV We already have a lead.Aruna pompously sipped on her teacup and cunningly looked at me. She arched her brow at me. "Are you sure you won't be sitting next to your girlfriend?" she asked nonchalantly."I told you she's not my girlfriend!""Nevermind. This lady here doesn't seem to bother correcting me either." She put down the cup and lifted her gaze at me. "So, tell me exactly what you want. I'm sure you're not stupid to waste your time killing my men outside. You risked your life for this, you should be able to use this opportunity. So, what brings the Beta of Prima Tierra Pack inside my territory?"What she said was right. Shintara and I were able to beat some of the rogues at Hull. I was a mess. Dirt all over my body and face. While Shintara was at ease in her unscathed appearance, she sat on a comfortable chair after taking the opportunity to rest. Though she fought a lot earlier, I did most of the work which is why I was a mess."This is not your territory anymore,
Omnibus' POV "What do you think you're doing?" I asked Shintara."What do you think? Making a way easier for you," she coldly said, not looking at me."I don't need your help. Just stay out of this. It's my call whether I will make the bet or not."She suddenly rose from her seat and faced me with her vaunts. "It's not even your call, to begin with. Amarantha belongs to my race. She doesn't belong to you, not even to this bitch behind me. So, stay out of this and just focus on the fact that we'll save her," she hissed.But not an ounce of intimidation occurred to me. I was even more upset.I clenched my jaw and grabbed her hand away from that room. Aruna's men were about to stop us but Aruna signaled her hand to them to stop."Let them be. They need to talk..." she said to them.After hearing that, I continued dragging Shintara out of the bunker room. We managed to get out of there while being guided by some of Aruna's men. When we were back on the surface, that was when Shintara rou
Omnibus' POV The kiss deepened.It was out of control. But sexually, it was not something I should yearn for.That kiss wasn't romantically made for me. It was a chant.Little did I know that I was starting to calculate her movement. How the way she kneaded her lips against mine wasn't sensual. It was nothing but codes. A secret message.Not long enough, a series of images started to pour into my mind.I groaned. A throbbing pain followed. I was about to push Aruna out but she pulled me closer to her. She continued kissing me while I was focusing on the memories.At first, I saw someone. A girl. The trace of her face followed by my definitive eyes. She was smiling.It continued like that until I was caught in a deep trance...The face became clearer as seconds passed by.She was smiling yet I saw a glimpse of thoughtfulness incorporated in it. "Are you alright?" she asked.I absentmindedly nodded at her. "Y-yeah.""Mate!" Apollo shouted. "That is our mate!""Are you sure?""Yes! Cert
Iram's POV It has been exactly 4 days since Amarantha died.It was never easy on me.Every day, I felt like losing my life over and over. My health was declining. My wolf, Ultor, was starting to hibernate. Because of this, I wasn't able to fulfill my duty as the Alpha King. The public affairs and expedition had been halted.The pain was unbearable. I couldn't even stand properly for 10 minutes.My life was miraculously extended. The day Amarantha died would have"My King? Are you alright?" Redentus asked. He was now tasked to be at my side as the expedition was temporarily halted. He was at my side, worried.I sighed and nodded my head meekly. "Have you heard from Gamma Omnibus? Has he returned?""Well...""What is the matter? Isn't he back or not?"He lowered his head and disappointedly shook his head. "My apologies, my King. But Nothing was heard from Gamma Omnibus. Right after that human's execution, he—""Address her well!" I snapped.I saw Redentus' sudden flinching then return
Iram's POV "S-sire? Are you alright?" the woman asked me. She was wearing a very simple dress. She was dressed like a chambermaid. Her face was fairly radiant, unlike any other humans in the past. Not even Amarantha could glow like this.Was it possible that this human is really my mate?"Who are you?" I asked sternly."W-well...""Answer me!" I snapped.I saw her flinch. The bowl on the tray she was holding shook terribly. "M-my name is Lorna Ferrel, my King!" she answered. "I was asked to deliver this herb to you. It is important that you drink this. So, that you can regain your strength..."I scoffed. "You think you can fool me?" I started grabbing her arm and pulled her to me.I heard her whimper and closed her eyes. Without any sound, I violently shoved the tray out and let the bowl of herbs splash to the ground. I grabbed her by her collar and ripped her dress.She wheezed. Her two perfectly shaped mountains arrogantly behold themselves before me. Lorna instantly hugged herself
Annie's POVThe maids assisted me as I put on the wedding gown.I heaved a sigh and looked at my reflection in the mirror. "You can do this..." I told myself. But I wasn't so convinced."Are you not happy?" Hannah asked me. She is my wolf. She gave me a lonely gaze.I smiled wryly at her. "What about you? You seemed not happy," I retorted back."I'm just worried about you. Are you sure you want to do this?"I reluctantly nodded at her. "Y-yeah. Do we have a choice?""Of course, we do!" she claimed. "But that option isn't coming out in the open. I was waiting for that, Am..."I snorted. I stretched my elbows upward while the maids were busy decorating my gown on my torso. "Why do you keep calling me 'Am'? Is that my nickname?""Hmm..." She nodded in response. "I guess you could say that." She sighed exasperatingly. "I feel so bored.""Are you not excited that we get married to our mate?""I don't know. All I know is that we're stuck here and we don't really feel loved like how we shoul
Annie's POV The huge door opened at the center and I slowly walked toward the aisle.There was music playing. Piano and violin. I was holding a bouquet and a veil all over my head. My heart felt like someone was piercing through it.I was bound to be wedded to my mate. But why did it feel so wrong? Why did I feel like this ceremony was never for me?I wish I could hold back. I wish I could just turn back and leave this place.A tear fell from my eye. Good thing that people around us didn't notice. They were all smiles as I kept slow paces intact.I wish this slow walking would be endless.I had wished for so many things that even though I was alone, I could not find my groom someone I can rely on.He is nothing but a cruel werewolf. He disguised his lust and cruelty as an act of love for me. And when I thought I could rely on Aruna for saving me, I started to resent her.Was she certain that I wanted this? Was she certain that I took my own life just because Alpha Trace's father disa
Annie's POV "So, what really brought you here, my King?" Alpha Trace asked. He was in his comfortable posture seated at the chair, wine glass at hand. He had this insincere smile plastered on his face.I was beside him, forcibly trying to make my existence as genuine as possible. My hand gently held his arm.But the king's eyes... they never bore Alpha Trace's direction. He would rather look away or enjoy himself looking at my nervousness. He was looking at me with several emotions I couldn't comprehend.Was it longing? Lust?I meekly shook my head. I must be imagining things. There is no way that the Alpha King would look at me this way.King Iram gave a smug smile shortly after he looked at Alpha Trace, then, looked away again. "We have already talked about this, haven't we? The deadline is nearing. It shouldn't be prolonged any more," he said in a low voice. "Give what is necessary to my pack, so that we can conquer the whole of Europe. Or else, we will consider Froster Pack nothi
