XAVIER'S POVI had to discover what she wanted before she said it but my plan never worked."You don't have to know what I want, with you by my side we could take on the throne and no one would stop us""What are you insinuating?""Don't act like a child, I want you to be my partner, it's always been my dream to rule both packs but I couldn't, I tried to woo your brother but he fucked me real good and left me for that low life princess, her father has a motive for letting Paul marry his daughter but I've got to beat them to it""That's quite hard to plan""You're the missing piece in my puzzle, I've been looking for someone who knows way and routes around the castle and you're the right man for that job and the fact that everyone knows that you're dead you don't have any worries,""And what if I don't help you?""Then your little girlfriend pays for your disobedience, she's the commander of the guards but I've got many people watching her, like maids, soldiers and even drivers. I coul
CHAPTER 69IRENE'S POV"Your desire is to rule the both packs as the supreme leader, I can help you achieve that but we have to work together" I knew what her desires were, the book revealed that to me."I can't see myself forming a partnership with you, you're not my class" She retorted, staring into my eyes, I couldn't make her see that I was begging for her partnership, I wanted to leave her with no choice than to accept me as her partner in her quest for the throne."Well if I'm not for you then I'm against you and trust me when I say this you would never get a glimpse of your desires" I chortled in a mild tone."Is that threat?" She inquired in a mild tone."No it's not, it's just a request that I would give you time to think about, when you've made your decision let me know, use the door behind you" I uttered loving the fact that I had gained dominance over Arianna, this was an easy task. Having her under my will has brought me a greater chance of saving Paul from her execution.
IRENE'S POVI was surprised when the guards hailed me all through the way back to the castle, staring at Ethan standing close to another woman got me pissed I didn't like the fact that he was with another woman, asking him about it would be the only way I get to have my answer."Father you should have seen how we had them killed, they fled for their lives but we have their leader in our custody, you'll do to him as you please" I sighed in a mild tone."Who's your leader?" The Alpha inquired in a mind tone."The life we have is given to us and taken when the time is right" he screamed as an arrow was shot straight to his heart, he died instantly."Where did that come from?" I couldn't deny the fact that someone surely shot that arrow deliberately.The crowd was too much so I knew it was hard for us to know who exactly shot that arrow."Whoever it is we have to find out" I uttered staring at Paul as I made him walk with me."Who do you think shot that arrow?" He asked as we walked toget
ETHAN'S POV"Yes I've decided to help you but on the condition that you guarantee the safety of my family including my father," I conceded to your words."That's not possible my dear friend" I could see the anger in Deville's eyes, but I cared less about her words."What do you mean?" I was wondering what she couldn't spare my father from her ambitions."Your father did a lot of things that his death can only be the way to pay for his sins" At this point I needed another answer from my father which I couldn't get because it was concluded that I was dead.."I can't let you kill my father" I stuttered staring at the arrows and gun pointed at me I couldn't bring myself to raise my voice at Deville she had them all at her beck and call."If we won't kill him, his hands would have pay for what he did," I knew at this point she was hell bent on killing my "Are you going to cut his hands off?" I inquired wondering why she stood on her feet and tapped my shoulders."You see the reason why I
IRENE'S POV"You really had my father hooked there's no way he wouldn't give us his approval" Paul was impressed at my words and I couldn't hold a grudge against him."I said the right words and you should learn to stand face to face with your father and don't lie to him" I couldn't see myself getting afraid of my father, I knew he was strict but when it came to pressing matters I had to put him in the shoes where he would have no choice than to pay heed to my words."Well that's my brother's doing and not mine" Paul chortled, I knew he was referring to Ethan, Ethan was definitely a man that I knew could even fight with his father if he had the chance to."You need to man up, maybe if he's here you'll learn a whole lot better""I won't lie to you, Ethan's the only reason why I'm bold and courageous. Whenever he's here I feel the urge to be brave just like him""You have to make him proud by standing bold without him, he would be proud when he sees you standing out and taking that posi
ETHAN'S POV"We all should know that in life our enemies are meant to be" Deville never got tired of rallying her men, always making them feel that bone between a leader and a follower."Destroyed" They all chorused, "And our friends""Employed" these words got me amused to a certain point, I was a bit surprised when the words were said, I was a bit curious to know what exactly happened and why they were referring to me as being employed into the pack."We've employed this young fellow here and he's going to take us to glory, we would fight against them and defeat them and when that happens he's the one that would lead us. Ethan you're going to be the leader of this pack while I would be your beta, I want you to have this mantle, take it and lead us into defeating your father and for once in centuries give us what's rightfully ours" I was shocked when she said these words and all the members of the pack were in support of her words, looking at the grave consequences of accepting this
Ethan's POVI was surprised when someone walked into my room using the wall, I had to pretend that I was asleep, knowing that catching the person would surely be a good thing at the moment.The person was a man, he sat close to me. Running his hands through my hair he uttered,"I can't let anything happen to you Irene" I needed no soothsayer to tell me that it was Ethan, I wondering what he was doing here."How... How did you get in here?" I asked as I rose my head up staring at him."You're not happy to see me at first. Asking how I got in here, this is my house remember, my castle don't you think I know my ways around these walls" I was pissed at her words, knowing that definitely she was head over heels for the title my father would be awarding her tonight."I thought you would be happy to see me after a while but I think your title has gotten way into your head than your feelings" I hissed violently turning my back to leave. "What makes you say that?" She hugged me from behind, f
IRENE'S POVI was glad when Paul walked out because the king's guards was asked to pass a message to him."What would they be planning?""I guess you have less than 24 hours to get yourself prepared and that's because the ritual items are still pending, so they would be arriving today and we would make them sacred before using them on you so that you don't turn into a monster and not a werewolf" Paul announced as he had his eyes fixed on me, I was wondering why he looked at me in a manner that seemed that he was interested in me, I couldn't see myself having any feelings for Paul."Why are you staring at me?" I asked, staring into his eyes, I was a bit pissed at the way he was staring at me, feeling like he could eat me right there."Just imagining how you would look on the day when your life takes a heavy drift and it might make you or mar you" he uttered licking his lips, his words had me amused to some point. "Don't put it that way, I'll accept whatever fate tomorrow brings to me"
IRENE'S POVThe plan was so have Clifford subdued under Paul's whip of seduction, it was really hard but it was worth the risk, knowing how Paul could be manipulative and the fact that he took it as a challenge made me stand on the fact that this plan was going to be successful."I have to tell you I have to protect your brother and that would mean that I would have to stay at his castle," I had to explain this to Ethan because he was acting so weird that it felt like he wanted to have the whole kingdom suffer at the hands of Clifford."How's that even possible?" His questions made me realize that he was looking for a fair fight, a battle where we would face each other, we wouldn't even stand a chance. Penetration was the best way possible, having us in the inside hitting their weak points and make them fall at our mercy."I and your brother would hid in the forest where Clifford's warriors go to hunt and when they're coming we'll pretend to be making which would make them understand
Irene's POV"What's wrong?" I was a bit surprised at the silence in the court, wondering what made all of them scared to the point that they couldn't even make an utterance."Clifford dropped off a message that left us shocked" One of the cabinet members broke the silence, I knew she was scared of Clifford but the fact that I was here gave them a reason not to feel scared, I had him once and I still have the capacity to have him at my mercy again."What message?" I inquired, wondering if Clifford murdered one of the witches."That he's taking over the lands and there's nothing that we would do to stop him" she said these words in fear, she was afraid that her family's life was at risk, having a daughter was something worth dying for. She didn't want anything to happen to her daughter."He met me in the hospital and brought a deal to me, he was to pay me 200 million dollars and allow me leave these lands with my husband and his brother peacefully or stand to be defeated by him" I had t
Chapter 97Ethan's POVThe words Clifford is here made me a bit scared knowing that Irene's life was threatened anytime we got closer to Clifford. The fact that Irene wanted to meet him made me a bit uneasy, wondering what was giving her the guts to feel so strong that she could stand against Clifford after what transpired with her health few minutes ago."We're not leaving, we should know the reason why he's here" Irene meant her words and this got me pissed, I didn't want the death of her and my brother, so running was the best option at this point."Well he's here to kill you and you know that" I uttered as I held down the door knob, she was reluctant to come with me, this was really surprising. On the verge of asking her a question, she spoke her words without fear,"We don't know that for now, if you want to leave you can but I'm definitely staying cause I can't be the rat that would always run when it sees the cat coming, it's high time we switched places" "In that case let's f
Irene's POV"Well as you can see that this war can't be won on your side, you're getting weak... QqYou have a child coming and that would weaken your strength, you know that right?" He uttered as he stared at me for a while, wondering how he got to know that I was pregnant. I guess he must have found out about that from the nurse. "I hate it when you do this, if you're here to say something, say it and stop reminding me of issues that have been sorted out already" I uttered, knowing that he was just biting around the corners, I wanted to know the main reason why he used his powers all the way from his kingdom down to the outskirts of our land just to see me."I want you to give me the kingdom on a platter of gold, I'll give you 200 million dollars and other gifts attached to the deal. You can leave now and start a new life maybe a new kingdom, have enough money to take care of your son that's coming, I don't want to hurt you, hurt your unborn child and your loved ones and still have
Irene's POVHow're you feeling?" He asked as he held my hands softly, I knew he was worried about my health but I couldn't let him realize that I was conversing with the Nurse."I'm feeling good, where am I?" I pretended to raise my head up, tilting it to the right side of the bed, opening my eyes and trying to get up to my feet, "You're in an emergency ward" he uttered as he held me down, urging me to relax."Are we at the cabin?" I inquired, awaiting his response."Not yet, but once you're discharged we would head down to the cabin before going down to your castle" he uttered, knowing that this wasn't what I had in mind. I felt the urge and need to see my people, so staying at the cabin would only be a waste of time."I'll head down to the castle first" I retorted, as he stared at me in shock, I cared less about his words. He definitely had no choice than to concede to my words."I thought you mentioned resting in the cabin before heading down to the castle" I stuttered wearing a
ETHAN'S POV"What's wrong with her?" Paul inquired as he held her hands and lifted her. I quickly shifted into a werewolf, holding her by her clothes, I quickly ran as fast as I could, I was happy when Paul was already waiting for me at the truck. I quickly tossed her into his arms as he caught hold of her and placed her at the back seat of the truck, I got into the truck."Check her pulse""She's still breathing, drive" Paul screamed as I drove the truck out of the thick bush, I knew that we're definitely close to the cabin. I was happy when I saw the words Inn written on a cabin that looked a lot like ours."Let's stop here, they should be able to take care of her" I halted in front of the inn, horning a lot before going to help Paul pull her out of the back seat.I quickly rushed her into the building as there was only one nurse on duty."What's wrong?" She inquired, "She passed out" Paul stuttered, knowing that I wasn't in the mood for words. I only wanted to see Irene open her e
IRENE'S POV"Well since I can't say much I would say that you would make a good leader but in times of war and strategy, you have zero count for that" I didn't want him to feel bad to some point, knowing that he was definitely a bad leader and being the leader of the pack would have left them as slaves because he had little or no knowledge about the art of war."What's the essence of being a leader without war strategy and sense of reasoning in the battlefield?" Paul answered his question with his words, I felt a bit dizzy to some point."You have your answer right there" Ethan chuckles as Paul picks up a marble like stone and tosses at Ethan's direction, Ethan dodged it still laughing at the fact that Paul conceded to his words."Well let's move out, the truck is a bit far from here but we can move on foot. We have to go to the cabin and have some rest before we show this young fellow the world of witches" Ethan uttered as he held his brother's hands, wondering how Paul would even c
Ethan's POV"You remembered you had me thrown into that river with my SUV. You tried to kill me right, have a look at this," I guessed he wouldn't recognize me because I had my hair shaved and my beard was also trimmed, he knew me with my looks since it was changed it was definitely hard for him to recognize me. I showed him the bird on my wrist, knowing that we did this tattoo together when we were little, it was a symbol of our friendship and brotherhood."Arianna made me do all this to you" I knew it wasn't his intention to harm me, Arianna must have said bad words to him that had his thoughts changed, knowing how far we were together, it must have taken a strong will to have Paul subdued. He rested his head on my shoulders as I could feel his tears on my shirt."Well she did that because she had an agenda, she had you take me out and then her Father must have killed our father so she can seat upon the throne" I explained to him, as he raised his head immediately."Hey we have to g
IRENE'S POVI was scared knowing that Paul could get himself killed, jumping off the truck. I had tears in my eyes, I hoped that Ethan would come back to save me, I knew that this was a hard task for Ethan, he couldn't handle these trucks all by himself."I guess I would have to move on without Ethan" I stuttered wearing a smile on my face, knowing that it was really rare for Ethan to make it out of that alive, I knew he must have been killed. I should move on, I could meet his corpse and give him a befitting burial when I take his body home."Remembered he said he's coming back to take you and your brother so don't make it harder for him" my wolf exclaimed, she was right but I couldn't risk Arianna coming back here instead of Ethan. She would hesitate to shoot me, that I would be sure of."Do you think he would survive the fight between him and six trucks loaded with soldiers and their guns?" I sighed as I pushed Paul aside."Yes, I'm sure he'd come back to me" She was referring to E
