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
(NOEL'S POV)After Killian's death, Logan and his men became even more withdrawn. Most times, they rejected their food, and most times they eat. I know they were trying to starve to death, but I won't let that.I was not done dealing with Logan. He was going to pay dearly for how my mother was treated. Once I am satisfied that he has suffered enough, I will behead him in front of the people and hang his head at the pack's entrance gate.But something else bothered me. I heard that Logan has a son and a mate, and she had fled to God knows where. Now, that might foil my plan, as the boy might grow up tomorrow to challenge me. I needed to get rid of the boy as soon as possible.“Get me Howard,” I ordered the guard at my chamber's door.The sound of retreating footsteps informed me that he has left to run the errand. A few minutes later, the door opened and Howard walked in, a displeased look on his face.Since the death of Killian, Howard had kept his distance from me. He only spoke to m
HOWARD'S POVI walked stealthily, looking behind my shoulders to ensure that no one was following me. After walking for a while, I arrived at a clearing and stopped.This was the spot I had agreed to meet with the lady from the Rages' beast pack, who my spy informed me that she had Information about the whereabouts of Logan and his wife.I shifted uncomfortably on each leg as I waited. As much as I had asked for us to meet at a place far from my pack, I still was wary about being seen.Furthermore, I could have easily asked my spy to get the information from her, but I would rather not take chances. I don't trust anyone at this point, and wouldn't want to jeopardize the safety of Logan's heir and mate.Minutes flew into hours and there was still no sign of the lady. I was beginning to think that I had wasted my time coming here and that the lady was a scammer. I also prepared myself to scold my spy for being careless to have contacted a scammer, when I heard a rustling sound in the bu
