Ava's POVI journeyed alone.Miraculously, I found myself realizing where I came from. I came from the soil where I and Amarantha were born. Scottland.I didn't know how I got there. All I knew was that I had woken up from that lake. I thought I was still inside England but I was wrong.As I journeyed, I met someone there. Another werewolf.Female, coffee hair, injured. Her legs were almost amputated. Flesh coming out of her legs. Her healing ability couldn't seem to help her a bit. I could sense she was injured about 38 hours ago since I got here. She was trembling when she shied away from me. She was resting her back on wrecked car parts. She hid her face."Are you alright?" I asked. "Do you live around here?"She shook her head but didn't say a word.I sighed and sat on my heel. "I could try to help you get your legs back but I can't guarantee that it will not leave any scars or limpness. Are you alright with that?" I offered gently.I knew she couldn't trust me too soon. Her furro
Ava's POVI carefully walked near the ground where Ora had told me about. It was the land of the dead in a literal meaning.I was sweating profusely at the sight. The filth started to irritate my nostrils. I groaned faintly and closed my eyes.Why did I have to go to this length just to save Amarantha? I should have just focused on myself instead of worrying about my twin. Besides, she was too selfish to lead Omnibus!I sighed. I feel like I want to give up now. "Do we really have to go through this?" I frustratingly asked Ora.She nodded bashfully with the branch of the tree as her staff. "There's no other way, Madame Ava. This is the only way to get to the border."Dang!I exasperatingly sighed and thought over a million times before finally focusing on my horizon. "Alright. All I have to do is pass this land, right?"She nodded again.I returned my sight in front me and collected a lungful of air before stepping my foot to the soil. I stepped forward further, slowly but surely, mak
Iram's POV "My King! My King!" a loud voice cried as I was about to write in my journal.I raised an eyebrow in annoyance. "Who is that?"One of the Iotas came to me in a haste. He bowed to me. "My King, the Iotas from the Europe boundary want to talk to you about something important..." he announced."Something important?" I repeated. "How important was it that they dare to barge in here?!""Forgive me, my King, but they wouldn't tell unless it is you whom they speak to."I scoffed. I ended up spilling the ink on my table and slammed the quil and my journal. How dare they brazenly cut off my peaceful study?I sighed in resignation and looked at the Iota in front of me. "Give them to me and make sure no one comes after them!" I grumpily ordered him."Yes, my king!" He immediately left and called the two Iotas from Europe Boundary.I was whole day grumpy because of what I did earlier. After I saw how that brazen Annie Thompson disgrace one of my human slaves, I still had the nerve to
Annie's POVI quickly ran back to my room while holding my chest. I was holding my breath the whole time.I didn't know he was there.All I wanted to do was to finish my tasks. The head chambermaid told me to clean that room.I was already aware that the room was forbidden from any other wolves. It was said to be owned by King Iram's luna. A human mate. I didn't know her name and no one ever dared to speak of her name. King Iram had forbidden Prima Tierra to talk about it, especially in front of him. All that who were caught doing it would be punished.The head chambermaid hated me. I could feel it. They hated aliens like me. They hated that I was from Prima Tierra's rival pack, the Froster Pack. That was why she forced me to go inside that chamber and clean the room.No one had ever cleaned the room entirely before. The head chambermaid was in charge of this room. She was just told to wipe the walls and the floor but never try to dust off the bed or the vanity set. Only the curtains
Inima's POV "What?!"I slammed my fist on top of the vanity inside Iñigo's chamber.I turned to him in rage and confusion. "What do you mean he slept with him? Did I make myself clear that she needed to leave this place? What happened to your so-called plan, huh?" I challenged him while crossing my arms on my chest."I need more time, Inima. It's not easy to go against King Iram without making that woman bad in front of him. You know, when you did that stunt, he still slept with her. I have Iotas telling me about it. And then, there are rumors that he already slept with her back from Froster Pack. And her mark... it doesn't smell like Alpha Trace at all. She smelt very King Iram to me," he revealed.That made my heart sink in deep pain.I clasped my hands into fists as I clenched my jaw. "How dare he marks another woman behind my back?! I will not let this slide. I need to tell him that I'm Inima. He needs to know that I'm his mate!"I was about to leave Iñigo's room when suddenly he
Annie's POV "Do you really have to believe her, Am?" Hannah asked, a little displeased at how I finally packed my things for good.I was folding my clothes in the sack bag while hearing her sentiments. "This is the right thing to do, Hannah. I'm in no position to stay here. After all, I'm a cast out. I don't belong in Prima Tierra. I have known that for too long," I coldly said."But what about your memories? Don't you wanna know about it? Don't you wanna bring back your memories while you're in this place?"I sighed and stopped working on my clothes. "Just leave me alone, Hannah. You, of all people, should have helped me get back my memories. But now that I'm in this situation, I think it's best to just go back to Froster Pack.""You can't!""And why not? Where do you want me to go then? Go rogue and become wolves' number one enemy?" I shook my head at her and wryly smiled. "I'd rather just get punished and be a slave for the rest of my life.""What about King Iram? You love him, do
Iram's POVI immediately left my rendezvous while clenching my jaw. I balled my fists and grunted under my breath.I must be a madman.How could I stall with Alpha Trace's mate instead of acknowledging my new human mate?"Iram, are you this mad that you don't care about your life anymore? Are you willing to go this far and waste your father's plans for the whole of Europe?" Ultor asked in rage. He was as disappointed as me. "You can't let your life put to waste!""What's the use of living my life? I've made many enemies. We lost Amarantha. There's nothing more that I could lose..." I lowered my head and heaved a sigh.I am more than willing to give up this life. After all, my purpose is duly served. To take the whole of Europe and make werewolves gain respect from the world. The world already feared us. We are already revered as the most powerful creature in this world. What more can I do? If the Moon Goddess wishes to dispose of me, then I am more than glad to take up her punishment.
Iram's POV"A-Amarantha?"The woman smirked and snarled at me. "I am not Amarantha, you treacherous mate!""Treacherous mate? How dare you call me that!""I have all the right to call you that. Because of you, Amarantha is dead!" Tears streamed down her face. Rage enveloped her eyes. "You killed her!""So, you're not Amarantha?"She chuckled. "Of course, I am not her! Amarantha is purely human while I am a werewolf. You saw me shift. You should have known by now.""But your face... How is this possible?""I don't have time to argue with that. I am here for Amarantha's soul. Where did you take her?""Soul? I'm not following this. What are you saying? Amarantha is dead, isn't she? Why are you looking for her soul? She must be with the Moon Goddess or with her Lord!""I was told that her soul is somewhere inside this pack. I could feel her energy near around here. I am here to take her with me. And I vow to never set foot in this pack and protect her from you!"I clenched my jaw at her w
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
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
