“Alpha Johan? As in, Moonbeam pack?” Nick asked, wide eyed in shock. Even his grip on his dagger had weakened due to sheer shock.The cloaked man nodded subtly. Nick suddenly went back to his stern self, tightening his grip on his dagger and aiming it at the man’s throat.“How do I know you're not lying?” He asked in a booming tone.The man, who remained as calm as ever, shrugged. “Because I have a letter from Alpha Johan himself.” He divulged.That again, brought shock upon Nick and his eyes darted around the man’s dark ones.He lowered his dagger and loosened his guard. “What could Alpha Johan possibly want with me?” He asked.“Like I said earlier, he is interested in your doings.” The man said.“What doings?” Nick shot at him.The man raised a brow, “You might be able to fool everyone but not me. I know you were the one who broke the Duchess from the dungeon.” The man said boldly, causing Nick's eyes to dilate.Kiya, who had also been listening to their conversation, stood up abru
“I believe we all are aware of the reason for this meeting?” Estan asked as he took his seat in the courtroom. The Elders nodded affirmatively.“In case some of them haven’t heard yet, I was attacked and almost killed the previous night.” Ivorie chipped in casually, all attention turned to her. “We are here to discuss ways to prevent trespassers from having easy entry into the castle and endangering our lives.” She added in a serious note.“I thought the Alpha had ordered some of the Pack Watchmen to guard the castle?” One of the elders asked.“Certainly, he did. But apparently, they aren't enough. The attacker last night snuck past them.” Estan said.Silence was brought into the room as everyone seemed to be delving into their own thoughts of solutions.“Alpha Clawn's killer haven't been apprehended. Perhaps we could begin from there as it may be the same culprit that committed that heinous crime that attempted to take the Luna's life.” Another Elder suggested after a long silence.E
Estan's footsteps echoed on the floor as he paced towards the castle exit. He made his way towards the warriors’ quarters with only one mission in mind – to carry out Regan's order.His Alpha had ordered for all the guards and warriors to be interrogated and the killer be found. That was what he aimed at doing for the day.“Aren't you all out yet?” He asked the first warrior he saw when he got there in a booming tone. He scowled at him because he had mindlinked the warrior to gather the rest of the warriors before his arrival. Now, he was only seeing a few of them outside the quarters.Shuddering, the guard said, “F…forgive me Beta…they'll be out now.” He stuttered.Estan sighed heavily and raked his hand through his hair exasperatedly.In a matter of minutes, the warriors were already lined up orderly in front of Estan. Silence became their instinct as they were standing before their Beta.Estan scanned them all with his sharp eyes before clearing his throat.“I will not beat about t
“Come on, faster!” Estan bellowed at his horse as he yanked the reins harder. Even though the transport animal was practically at its highest speed, the Beta didn't seem satisfied. He was just too determined to catch Nick before he leave the pack.He hadn't really thought it through. He didn't know what exactly he was going to do once he arrived at the Watchtower and he met Nick. The latter was so good at denying things and changing subjects, what if he denies wanting to leave the pack for ulterior motives?Estan pushed the thought aside, the most important thing was to meet him there first. Forcing him to confess his crimes would settle itself once he arrived there.Soon enough, after much riding, he could see the tall black building that belonged to the Pack Watchmen warriors. The haven of the pack’s law enforcers. It was meant to be the most sacred place, where no crimes should be heard of. But Estan couldn't believe the leadership ended up on the shoulders of his crafty brother.A
“Princess Kiya?” Awe was written all over Estan's face and his grip on his dagger weakened due to immense shock.He couldn't believe his eyes. Standing before him was the same princess whom her pack had been conquered by his Alpha about a year ago. The same princess who had rejected his Alpha as mate and had fled out of the picture ever since. The same princess everyone had thought was either no more or had started a new life in a far away pack.But all of that was wrong, because she was there, standing before Estan.Shock was also registered on Kiya's face. Her eyes darted around the room, her lips quivered and she blinked a thousand times more than usual.“Princess Kiya, what are you doing here?” Estan asked, fighting hard not to believe what his instinct was telling him. He didn't want to believe that she was working with Nick in whatever diabolical plan he had.“B…Beta…Estan, it's been…so long…” she stuttered, trying to find words to qualify her shock.Suddenly snapping back to co
It was dark as it should be at that hour of the day. Regan was in his office, flipping through pages of parchments and scrolls on the table before him.He was bare from waist upward, the dim light coming from the lanterns on the table casting shadows on his bare torso and outlining his muscles.He was just about to wrap things up and call it a day when he heard a shriek at the doorstep and looked in the direction.A smile curled up his lips when his gaze landed on Ivorie. His eyes immediately fell on her open bare cleavage that were revealed through the wide split of the flimsy night robe she was putting on.It intrigued him, just as always. He might have seen them bare a number of times already but he could never get enough of them.Ivorie's face lit up as she knew where his eyes were. She decided to give him a show and began to walk slowly into the office.Regan was almost huffing like a hound at the sight of her bosom jiggling beneath her robe. He was transfixed.Ivorie stood befor
Regan furrowed his eyebrows as he watched Estan's unconscious body intently. He was seated next to his bed, thinking about what Shaerah had just revealed to him.Ivorie, who was seated behind him, squeezed his arm encouragingly. She was just as worried as he was, maybe even more than he was.“What do you mean by a curse, Shaerah?” Ivorie asked the head healer who stood close to the door with her hands clasped together in her front.“Luna, it is only logical to conclude that if a patient doesn't respond to herbal treatments, they were affected by some sort of magic spell.” Shaerah said.“And how sure are you that he was cursed?” Ivorie asked again.Shaerah sighed, “I have had an experience with this kind of thing before, Luna. The woman didn't respond to treatment from the healers just like the Beta. It wasn't until someone brought up the idea that she might have been spelled that a witch was brought in to examine her. And it was discovered that a curse had been placed upon her.” She e
“Brennan!” Regan bellowed as he halted in front of the warriors' quarters. Brennan, clad in his black undervest, rushed out and saluted before his Alpha.“Alpha.”“Gather your squad, I want you to find me the foreign witch.” Regan ordered sternly, his mind buzzing with rage.“You mean Liliana, Alpha?” Brennan asked.“I don't care whatever her name is, just find her. And I want you to begin with the watchtower. Go now!” He roared and Brennan immediately disappeared from his front.He waited on the spot as he watched the warriors rally themselves up and march out of the castle.His mind was calculating. If his theory of Liliana working with Nick in planning something evil was correct, he needed to know where they would be. They could have fled the pack for all he knew.He stomped back into the castle main block, straight into his throne room.He ignored the greetings of the guards there and sat on his high throne.‘Bring those two Watchmen to the throne room this instant.’ He ordered a
