CHAPTER 10

ELIJAH’S POV

I startled awake when I heard the bell toll.

It rang once. Then again, and once more.I gasped and sat up rapidly. It could never be.

There are three bell toll announcements in this pack. One toll is to signify a duel between two wolves. This is usually between two males who want the same mate. They fight to the death, defying destiny and letting the strongest and bravest have her.

Two tolls are for the death of an elite in the palace.

Three tolls, however, signifies the death of the Alpha.

My father had died.

I hurriedly threw on my robe and stormed out of my room to see for myself. When I got to his room, I saw his body sprawled on his relaxing chair on his balcony.

As I approached him, his image became more and more sickening to me. His face was very white and pale. The veins around his head and neck were purple and they seemed like they were going to burst open. His lips looked gray and cracked.

He looked weak, which was ironic because he used to be the stro

    CHAPTER 11 VINCENZO’S POV I yawned and stretched as I sat up on my bed. The sharp invasion of daylight meant I had to blink to get my coordinates right. Once I came to, I looked around my room with a slight frown and a line of sweat on my forehead. My left breast hung heavily outside my nightgown and my hair bonnet was beside my feet. Crazy night. As soon as I stood up from the bed, I came face to face with a bouquet of fresh cut flowers. They looked and smelled so wonderful. I smiled widely, thinking to myself that it was a very beautiful thing for Roberta to wake up to. I could hear her just waking up too. I immediately got up and found the card that came with the flowers. I took my pen from my bedside table “Good morning, Sunshine Vincenzo” That's what I wrote on it. I sighed as my smile dropped slightly.

    CHAPTER 12Vincenzo's POV My relationship with Roberta was going very well. She fully trusted my love for her, and it was the most beautiful feeling in the world.We had spent the remainder of the previous night kissing on every pathway, in every corridor, every hall, every room.She had said she wanted to take it slow and I respected her decision, even though her body was telling me entirely different things.Even as we sat at the dining table to eat and her seat was right beside mine, my hand gently gripping her thigh as I watched her eat, I could feel the moist warmth exuding from her centre and it made me want to take her on the table.I was so focused on her that I didn't notice Manuel's absence from the breakfast table. That was until he walked into the dining room and stood at the head of the table.“Oh, Manuel. Where were you?” I asked as soon as I lifted my head

    CHAPTER 13Roberta's POV I stirred from my sleep to see that the room around me was dark. I couldn't believe I slept from the morning until late in the evening. I sat up on the bed and immediately noticed that my foot was done healing. I stood up and looked around for Vincenzo, but I couldn't find him in the room.I saw a lamp lit in the garden and I immediately knew that he was out there. The cold in the air caught up to me and I shivered, wanting to be engulfed in his bulky build.I took the blanket off the bed and wrapped it around myself, heading outside to the garden.As soon as he saw me walking towards him, a smile spread across his face.“You're finally awake”, he said.He stood on a little bridge in the garden that stood over a small, magical stream.When I reached him, he grabbed my waist and pulled me towards himself, pressing my body into his and pro

    CHAPTER 14Vincenzo’s POVI stared at Roberta’s face, stroking her forehead that was folded.After the events at the garden ten days prior, we had been at it in every corner of the house.I could not keep my hands off her, and even if she was still a bit too shy to admit, she could not keep her hands off me either.She cooed like a baby and left her mouth hanging open, causing a warm smile to cut across my face.I felt a flutter in my chest, the same one I hadn’t stopped feeling since our lips first touched. The same one I felt anytime she walked into the room, anytime she looked at me, anytime she touched me. The same flutter I got anytime she…I knew exactly what that flutter was, and I was determined not to run from it.Ever since I marked her in the garden, our mate bond had gotten stronger, and my desire to be with her had become impossible to assuage.“Good morning, Alpha,” Natalie greeted. She stood at my doorstep and looked at me, waiting for me to give her audience.“What is

    CHAPTER 15Charlotte's POVWe had been in Alpha Vincenzo’s territory for all of five minutes, and I decided that I liked it. I wanted it to be my lifestyle. Everything about his palace screamed power, and it only hurt my head to picture Roberta sitting by his side and he called all the shots. I deserved to be the one. I stared round the dining room, where Alpha Vincenzo hosted us for dinner. The table was large and seemed to be carved out of marble. The surface glistened so perfectly, I could see my reflection on it clearly. What I could also see clearly, was how dumb Elijah really was. His jaw was nearly on the floor as he ogled Roberta the entire time. He did it so shamelessly, his eyes leaving her for microseconds only.“How are things going for you, Roberta?”, he asked shamelessly. Roberta glanced at him and looked back at her food, not even bothering to answer. Elijah was so stupid, even a lower like Roberta knew it too. His face turned pink after she ignored him and he hurried

    CHAPTER 16Natalie's POVThe weeks following Elijah's visit, and ultimately his death, were very scrambled and hectic. Everything happened so fast, I could hardly recover from one before another showed its face.I helped Charlotte find a secret way out of the territory after Elijah was killed. Whatever the magic spell of diplomacy Roberta cast on Vincenzo was, it wore off as soon as he caught Elijah trying to force himself on her. That was surely going to affect his countenance towards Charlotte. I had to help her out.I didn't help her run away because I cared about her or because I felt any basic compassion for her. I did it because we had one thing in common; mutual hatred for Roberta. We both wanted to see her fall and even if Charlotte's intent to hurt her cousin wasn't clear to me, we had to unite against a common enemy.It took Charlotte some time to get on her feet, since she had become a Lu

    CHAPTER 17Manuel's POVI couldn't believe what had happened when I woke up to Vincenzo’s voice. Roberta was kidnapped. It sounded funny to me at first, but it was true. I couldn't grasp how a person would be so ballsy as to kidnap the Alpha's mate.Vincenzo was terrified by it, but he masked it well with anger. He reddened and growled around the palace, instilling fear in every body that was unfortunately caught in his path. I knew it was all an act and he was really paranoid and worried for her safety.As soon as he saw the note from Charlotte, he set his mind on going down to her territory to get Roberta back. I understood how helpless he felt, but our pack hadn't gotten its great reputation because our Alpha was making emotional decisions. “Alpha, can we rethink this?”, I asked, walking a safe distance behind him. He took long, quick strides towards the barracks with Natalie and I following and trying to match his pace

    CHAPTER 18Roberta's POV The days after losing Lucia to death were not easy, for anyone. I cried most of my life out after I got back to the palace with Vincenzo and Manuel. For days, I remained confined to my room, not stepping out for any purpose. Vincenzo had to bring food in and beg me to eat for the baby.I cried myself into a state of panic and psychosis. I had to spend weeks with a therapist before I could get my mind right. All the while, Vincenzo was very patient and supportive. He was there for me and Manuel throughout our grief period and he never complained about it. While I was struggling to say goodbye to my best friend, my belly was getting rounder and rounder. By the time my due date came, I looked very swollen, like I was ready to burst any time soon.I groaned painfully, squeezing Vincenzo’s hand in mine as I felt as if his child was trying to claw its way out of me.“Ju

There were countless flower vases lined up by the window pane. The sun's light helped to accentuate the beauty of the flowers as their sweet scent filled the atmosphere. They looked and smelled just like the ones Vincenzo had planted in the garden at the palace for me.A small smile drew itself across my face as my mind began to bombard me with the fond memories that Vincenzo and I shared in that garden.“They are just like the ones I planted for you, aren't they?”, I heard a familiar voice ask behind me.It cannot be.I rapidly sat up on my bed and turned my head a few inches to the left of my bed where I had heard the sound for.True to my suspicions, it was Vincenzo standing there, lookin

    CHAPTER 56Natalie's POV The heavy shouting of the annoyed hunters reached my ears as I stood beside Manuel in the strategy room, listening to them rant about the poachers we had caught and what should be done to them.“I say we hang them in front of the city gates so that everyone else knows that we don't tolerate intruders “, one of them growled.The others growled in response at his vicious suggestion.I studied Manuel's expression as he looked from one of them to the other until his eyes had scanned through the whole group.I was sure that in his head, he was thinking about what monsters and animals they were, and he liked the reaction and the rage that radiated from them as they yelled angrily.That was one of the things Manuel and I had in common; our burning hunger for blood. That blood thirst was what made the hunters my favorite group of people in the entire territory. Not only did they go head to head with multiple beasts everyday and supply the territory with most of its

It was Tarik, the hot guard whom I had started sleeping with.I sat up on the bed slowly and looked at his sexy figure as he breathed steadily.His endowed chest rose and fell steadily at the same pace with his breathing. “You know I can see you watching me, right”, he said in his deep morning voice.I stared blankly at him as he opened his eyes to meet mine and smirked at me.“Good morning Luna”, he greeted with a smug look on his face.I stared at him and tried to keep my expression unreadable, even though I really just wanted him to pin me down on the bed and dick me down just like he

It made him sad, even.“Are you okay?”, I asked.The faraway look immediately snapped out his eyes as he turned them to me at once.“I'm fine. It was a while ago”, he said, adjusting his position and leaving his eyes on me.Our eyes lingered on each other for a while before I sighed and looked back out the window.“It felt so real. I can't believe I even fell for it again”, I said and shook my head lightly.He looked at me with confusion plastered on his face.“Life has no good plans for me, Declan. It's like every time I accept that, something great just happens and I delusionally think that just for once, something nice could be mine”, I said tiredly.The room was quiet for a while as neither I nor Declan

    CHAPTER 53 Declan’s POV The next time that Sheila and I had a deep conversation was two years after I had confessed my feelings. That was around the time that Vincenzo had just been crowned the Alpha King.For some reason, he had decided to make round trips to all the packs under his rulership. He claimed it was to check the quality of life that his subjects lived, but we all knew it was a way of showing off to all the Alpha's in the colony.It was his way of letting them all know that he had sovereignty and supremacy. He wanted to prove to everyone that he could be directly under their roofs and they still would not be able to harm him.To think that I admired him for it, and even got excited when my father told me that I would have the honour of showing the new Alpha King around during his stay in our pack.I liked having Vincenzo around.He was a good figure to look up to.He was only a couple of years older than me, yet he had beaten down every wolf that dared to raise an eyebro

    CHAPTER 52Declan’s POV I pushed the door to Roberta's room open and walked inside. She was sitting at the window, like she always did.I could not see her face, but just from the aura around her, I could sense that she was in a very gloomy mood.Her face did not immediately snap to the door when she heard it open like it usually did.She did not even twitch in her spot as I took steady steps towards her.“How are you feeling, Berta?”, I asked as I paced myself in her direction. I saw her body move up and down as she sighed heavily. She tilted her head to the side, still not turning around to look at me.I circled around her and stood in front of her, looking down at her face.“You know, I can't even feel him anymore”, she said.I continued to stare at her, taking my seat on the window pane gently.“I hate when you do that. I'm trying to look out of the window and you're obstructing my view”, she said. There was more than just a hint of irritation in her voice.In fact, she sounded

    CHAPTER 51Declan's POVI breathed out heavily and shook my head as I stood outside Roberta’s bedroom, preparing myself to go in and talk to her.It had been nearly three months since I first brought her home, and while I had let her wolf heal her speedily in the space of one week, I instructed the physicians to make sure she didn't heal as fast anymore.The dumb girl blamed her slow healing on her wolf, believing that it was dying because she had watched her children die and her mate had closed their bond so he wouldn't feel the hurt from watching her die too.She was so nice and trusting, it almost made me feel bad for using her to complement my plans.However, Vincenzo’s reign had started to crack from the minute he took her home to his pack, and if I did not milk that opportunity, then someone else would have.The way I saw it, the poor girl did not have a choice but to be used. If anything, she was lucky to end up with me who simply deceived her for information, instead of anothe
