NOEL'S POVIt's been three months since I became Alpha's of the red fanged pack, and I can't help but be more proud. The thought of having people who answered to me and were scared to go against my words was so exhilarating.I ruled the pack with a strong fist, inflicting pain on its members more than Logan did. Speaking of Logan, a satisfied smile appeared on my lips.I was supposed to visit him and his men in my underground dungeon. I visited them once weekly to jeer and taunt them, and nothing gives me joy more than the way they look now. They were all pale and malnourished, bones on their necks protruded and pronounced.I was making my way to the farm to observe how work was going on before I proceeded to the dungeon when a little crowd got my attention. I decided to take a look at what was happening.On arrival, I discovered it was a man stripped naked and being whipped by my soldiers. He had stolen a tuber of yam from the barn and was caught.“All hail the Alpha,” the people gen
LOGAN'S POVKillian coughed again and spat out more thick masses of blood, his eyes rolling into their sockets.What the hell was going on?“Killian, are you okay?” I inquired, my dear increasing.“I … .my stomach…it hurts…” he replied, and began to gasp for breath.“Let's call for help,” Gertrude suggested.Immediately, I and the rest of the men swallowed our pride and began to shout for help. It seemed like our efforts were futile because no one could hear us.Killian continued to cough and gasp for breath, life ebbing out of him gradually. I could feel it, I could smell it. The smell of death hung over him like a dark cloud.“What do we do?” Luke, who has not spoken in a while, finally spoke up.“I don't know. He has to receive medical attention else…” Ghen lowered his head, tears dropping from his eyes. “OMG! I would rather not say it,”“Let's still try to call for help again,” I ordered.We screamed, our tired wolves howled, but nobody came answering. And before our eyes, Killian
AMBER'S POVFortunately, Scott had given in and accepted that I joined the female soldiers to train.My joy knew no bounds when he informed me about it. I was finally going to get over the feeling of being useless and not doing anything for the pack.Today was my first day as a new trainee, and I was over the moon as I got ready. I packed my usual flowing hair in a ponytail and took off my earrings and necklace. If I was going for such a strenuous activity, then the need for jewelries is not necessary.“Hmm … .you seem so excited,” Betty teased as she fed Grandal.I whipped around to face her, a boastful look in my eyes. “Of course, I am. You are looking at a soon-to-be female soldier.”Betty gave out an amused laughter. “If this is not learning to run without crawling first, I don't know what it is.”I rolled my eyes and returned my gaze to the vanity mirror in front of me. “I will leave you in surprise, just you wait and see.”“It’s good to see you this excited again, Amber. You hav
AMBER'S POV“Hey, hold up.” A lady from the training group hailed me as I was making my way back to the house.Our training for the day had ended, and I was rushing home to see Grandal. He must be craving breast milk by now.Reluctantly, I turned around to see how it was. She had Raven color dyed hair and a pretty face and body.“Umm… Hi,” I said, halting.“Amber, is it?” She asked, looking up and down, a scowl on her face.“Yes,” I responded, uncomfortable by her gaze, as I shifted on one foot.“Okay, Amber. Why did you take interest in joining the female soldiers? You have a reason, don't you?”I opened my mouth to talk, but I shut it up immediately when I remembered Grandal needs me. “Maybe we should have this conversation later. I have something urgent to tend to at home,”“Don't you dare walk out on me, you destitute fellow!” The lady snapped, pulling me back.I was stunned as I turned to stare at her. Why was she talking to me in that manner? I barely knew her and was meeting he
(SIR JAMES THE THIRD'S POV)No matter how hard I tried, I could not get the thought of helping Alpha Logan off my head. It was more like his voice was calling out to me for help.I felt helpless because I didn't have a large army and Noel and his men would defeat us even before the war got started.As usual, I was in my room pacing, as restless tugged at my heart. Alpha Logan might not have been an ideal Alpha, but he had extended a hand of alliance to I and my people. When the vampires declared war against my pack, he had come to our aid without a second thought.If not for anything, I at least owed him the favor to seek help on his behalf.And just then, something clicked in my head. Why don't I enlist the help of the other three packs Alpha Logan had extended a hand of alliance to?My spy had informed me that Alpha Logan had reached out to an additional three lower ranking packs for alliances. Instantly, I called for my advisor. I need to find out the packs and who their Alpha's w
AMBER'S POVIt's been a week since Scott and his soldiers won the war against Alpha Evaristus, and one week since I joined the female soldiers. It has been a wonderful experience so far, and apart from Edna's troubles, I was enjoying being a part of the female soldiers.“Grandal is a big boy now. He barely makes trouble whenever you are away. He also enjoys spending time with Alpha Scott,” Beth informed as I prepared for my training.“I have noticed that too. He is really growing,” I concurred, as I cast Grandal a loving look. My bundle of joy he is, and with each passing day, I can't help but be grateful to the moon goddess for a son like him.“You are running late, Amber. Hurry,” Beth scolded.I nodded and concluded my preparation. “Alright, I'm heading out now. See you two at dusk,” I announced before leaning in to kiss Grandal.Thereafter, I walked out of the room in the direction of the training ground. I arrived early and I and the other ladies waited for Karen to arrive.“Alrig
(SIR JAMES THE THIRD'S POV)“Alright, we are done eating. Can you now tell us why we are here?” Randy inquired, after we finished eating.The other Alphas turned to look at me, indicating they were supporting Randy now. I knew there was no need to stall, as it was now time to spill the beans.“Alright, I will tell you all now.” I began, clearing my throat. “It's about Alpha, Logan.”Their eyes all widened in surprise as they looked at me like I had gone nuts.“What do you mean by this meeting is about Logan?” Randy's face was red in anger now.I let out a breather, as I proceeded to explain what had happened to Logan. By the time I was done, their mouths were hanging open in bewilderment.“Is this some joke or something?” Rhett asked.“Can you spot the streaks of gray hairs on my hair, it means I'm not a kid? Why will I summon you all if it weren't critical.” I was angry now, frustrated that they thought I was kidding.“And I understand you, you want us to go against someone who was a
(SIR JAMES THE THIRD'S POV)After outlining my plans to the other Alphas, I asked if they had any suggestions, and they stated what they all felt should be included.“I think all our arms should be laced with powerful herbs. We shouldn't go with ordinary arms. Even the bullets should be heavily laced.” Rhett suggested.“We have to train for a full moon, and we shouldn't send any letter informing him of the intended war. We should take him unawares, that way his men won't be ready.” Micheal proposed.“I suggest we attack at night, it's a really vulnerable time to attack anyone.” Randy suggested.The suggestions were endless, and we deliberated on them all, deciding which to go with.By the time we were done, it was late into the night. It was a good thing I had rooms prepared for them, so they slept over and departed to their various packs the next day.“Summon the soldiers immediately,” I ordered my advisor after the Alphas left.A few minutes later, he returned to inform that the sol
LOGAN'S POVIt's been a week since Amber and I were joined by the mating bond in the mating ceremony.The preceding days have been nothing but blissful. Carrying Grandal everywhere with me, even to court meetings with the elders of the pack. It felt like I was trying to make up for the times that we were apart from each other.As for Amber, she glowed every day, blossoming like a flower. Every day, I set my eyes on her, I can't help but desire to take her to bed and make love to her.But then, I didn't mean to rush things. I had treated her badly in the past, sexually, and would want our sexual encounters henceforth to be better.It was a bright cool morning and I prepared for my meeting with the elders. We had a lot to deliberate on, and I wouldn't want to keep them waiting.I arrived at the pack's house, the sun slowly rising from its abode in the sky. I walked into the hall and the elders were already seated, their faces expectant.I exchanged pleasantries with them, as I took my s
LOGAN'S POVHaving my family in my arms felt like the best thing that has happened to me at that moment. I could not believe that after such a while, I was finally reunited with them.“Are you alright?” I inquired, disengaging from the hug to take a proper look at them.Amber looked shocked, like she had seen a ghost but nodded, “Yes, we are.”Quickly, I turned to my men. “A number of you should fetch the pot while the rest and I will proceed home with Scott, my mate and my son.”My men nodded and walked off to carry out the order while a number of them stayed back. “Come on, it's time to head home,” I rose to my feet and pulled Amber up. “Let me have him,” I said, gesturing to my son.Amber obliged and handed him to me and surprisingly, he didn't make a fuss but relaxed comfortably in my arms.Turning to my men, I ordered, “let's head home, our mission is completed.” They nodded and we filed out of the dungeon. We made our way outside Scott's pack house, the dead bodies of his men
LOGAN'S POVI had assembled my men on returning from the seer's home. I filled them in on what the seer revealed, and I also informed them about the ritual to be held.They were all supportive as they all wanted Scott defeated as much as I wanted. So in the preceding days, I made preparations for the ritual, making provision for all the necessary materials we needed. And so the D–day arrived. The seer led me and my men to a large, open field on the outskirts of the Red Fanged Pack's territory. The moon was full in the sky, casting a silver glow over us. My men stood in a circle around me, their eyes fixed on me.The seer stood at the center of the circle, her eyes closed, her hands raised to the moon. “The moon goddess demands a ritual to weaken Scott's hold on the sacred pot,” she declared, her voice reverberating across the field.I nodded, my heart pulsating with anticipation. I knew that this ritual was the key to rescuing my mate and son.The seer began to chant, her voice risi
LOGAN'S POVThat night, I couldn't sleep as I kept tossing on the bed, nightmares of Amber and Grandal sleeping in a dungeon plaguing my dream.I couldn't believe Scott could be that cruel to a little child. I was even more angry at Amber for running off to my enemy's territory.I was unable to sleep as I rose from bed in the wee hours of the morning to visit my study. I tried to attend to some paperwork to get my mind off the events of the previous day, but I couldn't.It was in my restless state that I fell asleep on my study chair. The knock on the door roused me from sleep.“Come in,” I answered, groggily sitting up.My advisor stepped in, his face bearing an urgent expression. “Good morning, Alpha. The seer has sent for you on the moon goddess’s order.”My eyes immediately lit up. “Is it about my mate and son?”“I doubt. You have to hear her call right away.”I nodded and rose from the chair as I made my way back to my chambers. I freshened up and got changed into something befit
SCOTT'S POVAfter sending out the letter to Logan, I instructed my men to get prepared because I was sure Logan would come for war.He was a man of pride who never said no challenges, and just like I predicted, he arrived with his men Two days after I sent out the letter.“Alpha Logan and his men are here, armed to the teeth.” My advisor came to inform me, in my study.I let out an amused laughter. “Just like I expected. The men should not panic because he and his men won't be able to penetrate.” I said with so much confidence.My advisor nodded and exited the study.After he left, I took my time before heading outside to see Logan and his men. I walked out of the study, a smirk plastered on my face. I made my way to the palace gate, where Logan and his men were waiting. As I approached, I could see the determination in their eyes, but I knew it was futile.“Logan, Logan, Logan,” I said, shaking my head. “You really thought you could take on me and my pack? You're no match for us.”
LOGAN'S POVSince our rescue, today was the day I was finally meeting with my men. The reason being that I wanted everyone to be fully recuperated for the tasks at hand.I intended to restore the pack to its previous state. Compensate every family that Noel had killed their loved one or loved ones or stolen from them.I also intended to compensate Jayde and Laura for the inhumane treatment meted out to them by Noel. I also handed back the Zion's pack back to Laura.Afterward, I want to begin my search for Amber and my son. But before that, I had to summon the moon goddess for her opinion.“You all are welcome,” I said to my men as they all assembled in the throne room, on my orders.“We have a lot to discuss, but first I want to specifically thank you all for sticking by me. It is only unfortunate that we lost one of us during that trying mind,” at the mention of that, their eyes turned misty.“Wherever he is, Killian will be happy to know that we got the pack back. For that, I want u
SCOTT'S POVI stormed out of Amber's room, my vision blinded by fury. I couldn't believe that the woman and her child I have been harboring and come to take as family are the mate and son of the man I detest with every single fiber of my being.Amber–who would have thought a woman as calm, conserved and innocent like her is capable of such deceit? More reasons why quiet females should be avoided at all cost.I arrived at my study, the walk from Amber's room doing nothing to alleviate how I was feeling. I felt used, betrayed and foolish.Lowering myself on my seat, I reminisced on the raid carried out by Logan and his men. My fury skyrocketed as I thought about the number of my soldiers and pack members that were lost that night.No matter how hard I tried to wave the painful thoughts, owing to my promise to Amber to keep her and Grandal safe, the images of that night still came surging back like an angry tide.My heart constricted painfully in my chest. Such an act was too difficult
LOGAN'S POVI have never felt satisfied and relieved like I felt when I delivered the blow to Noel's face.“You bastard!” I growled and charged towards him, aiming to hit him again, but I was restrained by the other Alphas.“You need to get a grip on yourself, Alpha. You need to recover first, he will be here to get the penalty of his deeds. You need detoxification as I can smell poison all over you.” Sir James said, pulling me backward.As if on cue, I felt a wave of dizziness and I staggered backwards.“Are you okay?” I heard different voices in the background as my head swoon. I tried to stay stable, but couldn't. I doubled up, and my legs gave way beneath me as I lost consciousness.That was all I recalled as I woke up to find myself on a bed. Groggily, I opened my eyes and was met by pairs of worried eyes staring down at me.“Thank God he is awake,” a voice said, and I tried to prop myself up on the bed but stopped as a banging headache overtook me.“Don't stress yourself, Logan.
NOEL'S POVI turned to the maiden and harshly ordered her to leave my chambers. Hurriedly, I slipped my manhood back into my trousers.Turning to Olivia, I asked. “Are the soldiers retaliating?”“They are, but they seemed outnumbered. These people mean business, and the arms that they have with them are ones that I have never seen before.” Olivia explained, her eyes misty with fear.“Go on, I'm coming after you.”Hesitantly, she stared at me before hurrying off.Confusion overtook me as I slipped into my fighting clothes, wondering who these Invaders were. And to worsen things, they attacked at night, a vulnerable time when everyone would be exhausted from their diverse daily activities.My confusion was replaced by fear. My soldiers are not prepared enough because no one was expecting an attack.“Cowards!” I cussed at the Invaders. They didn't even have the decency to warn me beforehand about their attack.I was even more scared because there was no way to reach the Giants that had
