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"
ETHAN'S POV"What do you take me for?" She was pissed, loving the look it made on her face whenever she was angry."You make me surprise breakfasts, why stop all of a sudden" I sighed in a mild tone."You're not even lucky that I'm being free with you and you should know that I'm doing this because you're the" she growls as she walks into the kitchen."I'm the key to all your fortune and redemption so you should keep that at the back on your mind that without me you're nothing" I had to place her back in the same position where she had me before."Well you don't have to sound like you're being the boss" She retorted in a harsh tone."I'm the boss, it's high time you made me the leader of your pack, I want to be leader over the pack and you would do that for me" I had to make her realize that I was the boss in all this game that she was playing. I was even pissed at myself for not realizing my importance at the first place."I can't do that, that would make me look so weak to my people
IRENE'S POVI shut the door and never opened it again, I walked out of the room wearing a slight smile on my face, I felt like visiting him at the moment. Ethan was the only thought I had in my mind at this point and I couldn't withstand not setting my eyes on him.When I got to his house, I was shocked staring at a woman who walked past me, àa and chuckling at the same time, it felt like Ethan cheated on me with her staring at the way she was dressed. She had her jacket in her hands and her singlet straps weren't holding that much.I stormed into the house, knowing that he ass going to give me a detailed explanation as to what she was doing in his house."Did you forget anything?" I was shocked when he said the words, it read many thoughts to my mind, She's been here for a while hence the question."Did she forget anything? Are you really serious Ethan... I leave you for just three days and you cheat on me with that tout, that good for nothing bitch" staring at the shock on his face
ETHAN'S POVTrying to talk her out of the ritual was a hard task, getting tired of it I was pissed that I couldn't get her to stop whatever this charade was. She was getting herself in a big fix, she could find herself another mate or die in the process. There were only slight chances that she could survive whatever her problem was."You don't have to get annoyed... I'm always here for you, you should know that" I sighed in a mild tone."Whatever you're doing don't do it if what you feel for me is true love" I uttered as she looked at me in a weird manner, she knew I wasn't joking with my words."That's a risky challenge that you're putting me in between" she exclaimed trying to make me retrieve my words."I'm not putting you through a challenge, I'm letting you know what my thoughts are so if you're ready to comply then I'll know that you truly love me but if it's the opposite then this is just a charade, this love isn't real" I uttered making her feel tensed, "I'm sorry to disappoi
Irene's POVI loved the fact that I ironed out my issued with Ethan, he got me pissed at first but I was glad that he was the one that led me out of his house through the backdoor, I felt like a daughter, when he placed me in a position where I could say anything I wanted to say to Paul and the guards."Where have you been? It seems you just disappeared" Paul asked as the guards looked at me wearing a bit of the same look, all eager to know where I wandered off to."I only wanted to check out something myself" I stuttered, Paul was always inquisitive he couldn't let my words slide down for a while."Which is?" He inquired, "Highly confidential my friend" I retorted, hoping not to get pissed by Paul."In that case there's no need for this patrol, in a patrol when you find out anything you let all of us know" he was right, any information discovered at a patrol has to be shared among everyone."In this case I'll have to pass on telling anyone" I uttered trying to think of the words I w
ETHAN'S POV"You're not a toddler, be careful out there" I uttered as I was glad when she walked out of the room, I was a bit happy that she was gone. I was wondering what she wanted to tell me that had me hooked, did she actually find out about my true paternity, it could be that she doesn't want to let me know.An hour later, Deville walked in with a grin on her face, I was a bit shocked wondering what really happened to her."What's wrong?" I uttered staring at the grin on her face, I could tell that she was a bit angry over the fact that I haven't given her the answer that she was waiting to hear."You should have warned your lady not to have made your brother kill my soldier," I was a bit confused at her words, I heard her words even if she said it out loud."What really happened?" I chortled, "She was getting intimate with your brother so I decided to ask him to take pictures so I could show them to you but he was spotted by Her and then Your brother shot an arrow into the air
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
