The Alpha King is Dead . . . I was still in a state of shock, Kaden was holding me but I was still in a daze, Ciara was dead, she had been poisoned and she had ran mad and she had tried to kill me, why me?, Ciara last words meant that it was not intentional, she did not want to attack me meaning there was someone out to destroy me, was that what they did to my father?, to cut him off as well. "Anna, you have not said a word" Kaden said in a distressed tone, what could I possibly say?, my life was in danger and someone was after me, then my child was not safe. "I am sorry that your ritual ceremony got ruined but you are Luna now" he added, I glanced at him still livid of what was happening, Ciara had attacked after the ritual was done, I was Luna but now I was a target as well. "Someone is trying to kill me" I finally spoke, I watched as they carried Ciara lifeless body away, she was no more, we were never friends but she was still a pack member, she was this pack member and she
The Strength of Hundred Wolves . . . "What is going on?" I asked in frantic as I watched him hurriedly put on his clothes "The king is dead" he stated without glancing at me, I frowned at his response. "I know that. What does this mean?, what is going to happen now?" I asked in anticipation. "War is coming" he replied, he comes over and place a kiss on my forehead "I have to call a few people , I will be back soon, take care of yourself— and my child" and like that he was out of the door. Kaden did not come back to bed that night and I did not sleep either, I kept on turning and tossing while I was contemplating whether going to his office or not but I know he would be busy so I stopped myself. At the break of dawn, I was up and quickly took my bath, my eyes landed on the mixture I had been using to hide my pregnancy and I took it and flushed the contents out, there would be no need of it anymore and there was not much content inside to begin with. I dressed up quickly in
The Safe Room . . . The pack was preparing, the training session have been increased, border security were being kept at the maximum, the war was really coming but I could not understand anything, there had not been any declaration but Kaden was sure that his life would be targeted and my life as well. I was frightened,but I was trying my best to hide it from everyone including Kaden, I was now Luna and I don't think I would be given the privilege to breakdown in front of them, I had to be strong, the Alpha and Luna's strength determines how strong a pack was. It has just been a week since the Alpha King death, news also arrived that the Alpha Queen was missing and the entire atmosphere had completely changed. If Luna Tamara was involved in this should she not have been arrested by now, would Tamara actually kill her parents just to put her son on the throne, Luna Tamara was my mother's closest friend, it was difficult to think that the woman that once was like a second moth
Gathering of Alphas . . . I have never been to the castle, my father had though—when I was little for a royal ball alongside my mother, and I had made them spill all the details of how the castle looked like, was it like the ones in the fairytale movies or where they more better but my parents description could not fully explain what was before me as we got down from our car. Kaden and I approached the imposing gates of the werewolf royal castle. The anticipation in my heart mingled with the warmth of Kaden's touch. As the gates opened before us, I couldn't help but feel awestruck. Stepping foot into the castle grounds, I was immediately enveloped by a sense of both ancient power and untamed beauty. The castle stood tall and proud, its stone walls seeming to rise effortlessly toward the heavens. It was a place where legends were born, and where the werewolf royalty reigned supreme. Nature intertwined with the majestic architecture, as if a harmonious union had been formed. Towe
The King's Choice . . . "What!" Luna Tamara immediately jumped off her seat "Our father, the king did not inform us of this" "Sit down Tamara" Sahara finally spoke in a calm manner, Sahara and Tamara did have a lot of similarities that they could even pass as twins, they were both blonde haired like Diana and had striking jaw features, they were both beautiful, lean and tall. Tamara head immediately snapped in her direction at her sister's statement, she was definitely not expecting her sister to speak up, and at least against her. "This has nothing to do with you, you have no son!" Luna Tamara spat as if to torture her if what she lacked. A smile spread across Sahara face, surprising me, and maybe everyone else in the room. "You are mistaken" she said proudly "W-what?" Tamara stuttered, my eyes widened in shock, so did Kaden, no one was expecting that for sure. "I do have a son Tamara, he turns ten next month" Sahara declared in complete and full pride knocking the air
Two days and Three nights Part One . . . The dancing rays of the morning sun illuminates into the skin of my closed eyes causing me to open my eyes due to the discomfort. I sat up immediately noticing that Kaden was not by my side, I was about to call out to him when he stepped out of the bathroom, a towel wrapped around his waist and another he used to dry off his presently washed hair. "You are awake, I wanted you to sleep in more" his husky voice reaches my ears sending excitement all around my body. The floral scent of the hair shampoo mixed with his woody scent causing more excitement that I can't even find the perfect words to describe how my body was feeling even if I tried. I realized that this is the first time I am seeing him partially naked in the daytime, with all the glory of the sun illuminating into his skin and on his toned abs and arms, I was shamelessly ogling at him, I knew that and he definitely knew as well, evidence was that a mischievous smirk had sprea
Two Days and three nights Part Two . . . As I stood at the edge of the vast forest clearing, my senses were overwhelmed by the sights and sounds of the unfamiliar Alpha King burial ceremony. The air was thick with an aura of solemnity and reverence, as if the very trees whispered secrets of ancient rituals. Beside me stood Kaden, my mate and now the heir to the werewolf throne. His presence offered a reassuring anchor amidst the sea of unfamiliar faces, his hand clasping mine tightly, providing both strength and solace. We had traveled from our own pack for a meeting to deliberate on the King's death and the Queen's disappearance but here we are now paying our respects to the fallen werewolf king whose murderer was still unknown , though he was a monarch I had never met but he was one whose legacy loomed large in the hearts of his subjects and Kaden's as well , this king was his uncle after all, and this King reign was a one without war, that was something to really be proud of.
Rabid wolves . . . "Alpha Kaden, when all the preparation are made, you will be summoned for the crowning" Sanders informed my mate, the other councilman gathered behind Sanders. We were currently about to leave the palace. I take a final look at the lovely place but my heart is not saddened that I did not get to properly explore the place, because I know Kaden and I would be back soon. Kaden and the councilman Sanders exchanged a few words, then Sanders bow slightly at us and the other councilmen did the same thing, Kaden acknowledged the gesture with a nod while I gave a soft smile. The palace was finally out of view before I felt like everything that had occurred in the last three days was nothing but a dream and I had just woken up. It was a good distraction from everything, now I was going back to the pack, there was still someone after my life, Ciara was still dead and we had no idea whatsoever who was behind all of it and Tamara might be plotting something, so a war
