CHAPTER 40

Vincenzo’s POV

“What are we going to do?”, Natalie asked.

After she brought the news of the council's visit to see me and pay condolences, we knew we needed to have a game plan if we were to keep the peace and order in the colony.

Manuel paced up and down restlessly. He stared at the ground in deep thought as his mind wandered and tried to find ideas to evade the covetous councillors.

“We're just going to play it that way. We can say I've been calling the shots from behind the scenes, and that I am finally ready to run the colony in person”, I said.

Manuel stopped in his tracks and stared at me.

“There's no way they know that I haven’t spoken to anyone since I got back. You just have to follow me closely. There can't be that many new things in the pack. Anything that I do not recognise, you can speak up for”, I said.

He sighed and stepped closer to me.

    CHAPTER 41Roberta’s POVI blinked slowly and wiggled my toes eagerly as the evening breeze caressed my face. Dark locs of my hair were thrown around carelessly in the air.I sucked in a deep breath, enjoying the smell of all the activities that went on in the city beneath me.I had healed nicely in my first week at the stranger's house. The pain in my body had definitely lessened. I could move my upper body somewhat freely. I was even able to take a few steps, although with much difficulty.I had asked to be moved from the bed inside the room to a comfortable looking hammock outside on the balcony.I ended up appreciating the scenery a lot more than I expected to.I had no idea which city or pack I was being held in, but from the balcony where I sat, I was very amazed by its beauty. I could see the lamps lit in straight lines on the streets.I could see the beautiful floral patterns formed on the roofs of the bungalows while light shone through the windows of the taller buildings.I

    CHAPTER 42Charlotte's POV The huge doors to the courtyard flew open as I walked inside, ushered in by the guard who held the door for me.I turned back to look at him in confusion when I realised that the room was completely empty.“My Alpha will be with you shortly”, he said before he turned around and walked out, slamming the doors shut.I scoffed in disbelief and turned away from the door to take in the full view of the courtyard.It was a very simple design, yet it appeared to be practical and sophisticated too.The place was covered in drawings and paintings of various flowers.It looked regal in a manner that seemed soft to the eye, and maybe even to the touch.However, there was a certain feeling in the air that sat a little too well with me.The place only looked innocent, coated in all those flowers. In reality, I wondered if anyone had tried counting how many times they'd have had to wipe the blood off their pretty flowers.Before my mind could go totally off the rails, I

    CHAPTER 43Vincenzo’s POV The sun scorched my face as I trodden up a sandy hill with a small bag of my possessions hung over my back.There was a dry, dusty wind circling about the hill as I climbed steadily. The scene seemed like it wasn't an actual day. It felt more like it was a sick attempt to recreate one of my countless nightmares about everything I lost to the wastelands. I sighed in relief as I spotted the top of the slope I was climbing.Just like I had suspected, there was a small cave there.It was small enough that it would not draw attention or get me overly comfortable. It was just my perfect fit.I hummed in relief as soon as I stepped into the shelter of the cave, away from the blazing sunlight.I walked deeper, looking around to make out where I would lay down to sleep.As I was about to sit down to get my breathing right, I heard a foot shuffle echo into my ears.My head shot up as all my hairs stood on high alert.Someone had followed me and they were probably in

    CHAPTER 44I took in a deep breath of the sweetly scented air that filled my nostrils as I walked through the garden.With my arms crossed behind my back, I inspected the flowers around me. Their sweet scent rose steadily, filling the atmosphere with an assorted perfume.I paused and closed my eyes immediately I sensed the guards strategically positioned around me.“I want to be alone”, I announced loudly.They stayed still, pretending that they were not there in the first place.When I was just the commander, I trained all the Alpha's guards to secure him from a short distance at all times, making sure that he was never alone and that they were never detected around him.They mastered the stealth enough to be invisible to an untrained eye, but Vincenzo was always so observant, so he always knew when they were around, how many they were and where they stayed hidden.I had also been trained with the same stealth and lightness as them, and I had even trained a few of them myself, but it

    CHAPTER 45Charlotte's POV “How many days has it been since I sent men to the wastelands to kill Vincenzo?”, I asked lowly.“Answer me”, I yelled, my voice thundering through the hall.Denzel, my second commander, stood in front of me, shivering like a pig.He had been stripped down in the courtyard to only his underwear. Two hefty guards stood behind him with a drum of water and a small bowl which they used to scoop the water and pour it on him as he shivered.“It must feel so uncomfortable, being made to stand naked and have cold water repeatedly thrown at you, especially since it's freezing outside”, I said.He shivered nonstop and just looked at me. He was unable to even mutter a word.I sighed wearily and nodded slightly at one of the guards.He turned to the drum of water and plunged the bowl into it, taking up a lot of water with him.Just as he was about to throw it all at the man who stood quietly and shivered in the middle of the courtroom, the doors flew open and one of th

    CHAPTER 46Manuel's POVI sat down in front of my mirror as I stared at the blank piece of paper in front of me.I held a feather pen over it, chewing on my lips and tapping away at the table, not knowing how to even begin my composition. After Vincenzo had left the palace in defiance of my appointment, I had sent him a message just to be sure that he was safe.He wrote me back after that, letting me know that he had found a place to settle for a while. He took the time to express his support for me and how sorry he was that he had lashed out at me in that manner.After that, we had sort of continued to send each other messages back and forth on ravens, talking about everything we could.I wrote to him about the happenings in the pack and how it was going for me as I tried to lead people fairly.He in turn, wrote about his challenges in the wastelands, the outcasts he came acr

    CHAPTER 47Manuel's POVI looked at the faces of the Alphas who sat in the courtroom and studied their expressions. They all had the same look on their faces.They were all angry. They felt like I had robbed them of something they had been waiting for so long to claim, yet none of them had the balls to lead the rebellion against me.It was comical that they looked at me with disdain, like I had committed the biggest sin against them. It was very big of them to think that even if, for some reason, I were to throw in the towel and let someone else have the mantle of leadership, they would even be considered for it.“Well? Why are we here?”, I asked again.I sat up and subtly flexed my muscles in an attempt to instil intimidation amongst them. A few of them had started to gain a little confidence, but after my minor display, I could see their resolve sink back into their stomachs.

    CHAPTER 48 Charlotte's POV I walked through the hallway of my palace, gliding happily along the way. I hummed a lively tune as I strutted happily. I could hear my guards following me and the sound of their heavy boots hitting the floor added a little rhythm to the tune I was humming. Many of the Alphas I had come across after conquering my territory told me that it made them feel weird to have their guards follow them around all the time. Some of them had even instructed their guards to be as stealthy as possible so that they didn't even know they were there. I found that to be a very strange thing. I liked having my guards follow me around. I liked the constant scent of blood and danger that lingered on their bodies. The steady trodding of their footsteps behind me as I walked made me feel like the most important person in the room. People only walked like that after important people. I had toiled for most of my life just to get to where I was. All the work would have been

    CHAPTER 105Tyler's POV I tried to be as quiet as possible as I walked into the hallway that supposedly led to Charlotte's room.I adjusted my pace and marched slowly every time I came across a group of soldiers who were also marching around at a slow pace.I had managed to beat up a soldier and had taken his uniform as a disguise. My problem was with getting into Charlotte's room, since she was Luna and it was practically out of bounds for anyone to be in her room uninvited.I could still recall the conversation that I had held with Hazel the day before, after I outed her as Charlotte's sat.“Now you're going to tell me, is Roberta still alive?”, I asked and looked at her. Her eyes dashed up at me swiftly before darting away like I was a plague they needed to avoid.I felt my heart rate slow down as she nodded her head gently.“Yes, she is”, she said lowly, avoiding my eyes still.I sighed wearily and stepped away from her again. I stared at her with my eyes bare, letting so many of

    CHAPTER 104Tyler’s POV I walked confidently into Vincenzo’s room as soon as I heard his voice inside announcing that it was okay for me to enter.As I walked in, I noticed that he was just sitting up on his bed, staring into space. His countenance made it seem like the reality of a new day has yet to dawn on him.As I walked in, his eyes followed me lazily from the door until I gently took my seat on one of the sofas in his room. As soon as I seemed to have settled down, Vincenzo looked away from me and back into the endless abyss that he had been staring into before I interfered.“You don't look so well dude”, I joked, trying to lighten the mood. He completely ignored my efforts as he continued to stare into space with no sign of a thought forming in his head.I sighed and nodded as I turned my face away from his own. As I gently dropped my head in embarrassment, I heard him let out a long, heavy sigh beside me.“Look, Tyler, I'm sorry for acting like a dick. I am not mad at you,

    CHAPTER 103Charlotte's POV The crowd remained engulfed in total silence as Stefan's body fell limply to the ground.Declan let out a very loud, eerie yet victorious roar as he looked around the arena where the people sat.He flexed his muscles and yelled non stop, trying to rob his victory into the faces of all those who hoped against it. There was no stunt he did not pull to celebrate the fact that he had beheaded a person with his bare hands, and that he had also managed to put an end to the entire family line.I watched him with irritation on my face as he moved around endlessly. Before Declan even became the Alpha King, he had already begun to clear out entire family trees.I was certain that if he continued to rule steadily for about ten years without having a change of heart, he would singlehandedly orchestrate the end of the werewolf species.Just as the referee was about to walk to the centre and announce that Declan had won the duel, to everyone's excitement, Declan lost hi

    CHAPTER 102Charlotte's POV The training arena was packed to its limit with citizens of the colony.They filled the seats and even more, waiting to watch in hopes that their vicious Alpha King gets beaten to death by a vengeful simpleton.I, like them, wanted to be ambitious enough to hope for that, but I knew that it was practically impossible. The duel, like everything else that involved Declan, was just a dumb display.If I was going to get Declan to fall to his knees in defeat, I was going to have to take matters into my own hands, both literally and figuratively. As I stared into space, the crowd suddenly began to roar wildly with women screaming and children jumping and pointing at the centre of the arena.There stood Stefan. He was not exactly the perfect hero. His muscles were severely underdeveloped. He was not lacking in height, but his bowed legs made it easy to tackle him to the ground, and he was definitely lacking in confidence too.However, he had the right motive, he

    CHAPTER 101Tyler's POV I sighed and dropped my head on the pile of books open in front of me. I had spent a good portion of my day in the library, studying through all the books on mate bonds.I was looking to find any phenomenon where the mate bond still lasts after one mate had died, but I found none.As I felt the coarse brown paper on my face, I worked up the courage to accept what I already knew a while ago.Roberta was still alive, and Vincenzo had still been feeling her bond. I had a little skepticism about it because according to him, the feeling was shaky. Sometimes he could feel her, and other times he could not.However, in one of the books, I saw that werewolf mates going through some kind of emotional trauma could subconsciously lessen their bond with their partner.I believed that to be true because from my conversations with Darla, she sometimes could not feel anything for her mate, even though she was already marked.I sighed sadly and closed my eyes as Darla's pictu

    CHAPTER 100Declan’s POV “I don't appreciate being summoned”, Charlotte called out to me as she walked noisily into my meeting room at the training arena. As I heard the obnoxious clicking of her shoes against the tiles from a mile away, I wondered how she managed to stay as crafty as she was when her shoes kept making all that noise. Her enemies had to hear her coming from a million miles away.“I'm the Alpha King. I can do whatever I want”, I smirked as she closed the door behind her.For the first time since I ascended to my new position, I was truly alone in a room with another person.I watched her glare at me while she walked all the way around the table to stand beside me at its end.“I think we both know now that that is not true”, she said with a hint of satisfaction in her tone.She looked at me with a coy look on her face. Her countenance itself was boastful.

    CHAPTER 99I walked around Hazel, making sure that she did not tremble at my presence. I only wanted to prove to myself that whatever she was saying to me was genuine.“Good, good. He has to kill Elijah, you know. If he doesn't, then this was all for nothing and we will all die if Elijah gets back. You know that, right?”, I said, walking towards my closet.“Of course, Luna. We're not going to mess it up”, she said after me.I smiled slightly and nodded.I turned around and noticed that she was still in the bedroom. She had not followed me into the closet.“Come on in here”, I  called out to her.She did not respond, but immediately the words left my mouth, I could hear her walking towards the closet gently.She reached the door and just stood there quietly, looking at me.I carefully took off the robe that I wore, leaving my bare, naked body out for her to see. I sighed as

I gasped lightly at the proximity between our faces, but then relaxed when my mind began to take note of my environment.“Elijah”, I called wearily, fluttering my eyelashes at him. He moved closer and planted a soft kiss on my lips. I stayed still, enduring the way his horrible morning breath grazed across my nostrils.“How was your sleep?”, he asked sweetly, brushing my hair away from my face gently with the tips of his fingers.I nodded lightly, pursing my lips as I stared at his face.His fingers trailed down to my cheeks and without warning, he pressed them painfully, causing me to wince in pai

    CHAPTER 97I looked on curiously at the man in front of me as he returned my gaze with a great vendetta brewing in his eyes.I was used to getting hateful glances. Everyone I came across usually had one to spare before they moved to kiss my ass. However, he looked at me differently. He stared at me like I had wronged him in the deepest, darkest parts of his soul.“Do I know you from somewhere?”, I asked, tilting my head at him and squinting my eyes, trying to find out if I had ever seen his face before and where.He looked even further annoyed by my question as he clenched his hands into fists beside himself and gritted his teeth, while obviously seething.“You don't even know who I am”, he scoffed, looking back at the crowd of followers beside him.Even though they felt slightly empowered by his display of strength and bravery, the people behind him were too afraid to even shake their heads in his support.I chuckled lightly as I looked at him.
