Elena's POVI was still trying to calm my baby down when suddenly the door was pulled out from the outside, and there I was standing face to face with the strange werewolf, who was grinning ear to ear."Hello, my highness," he said while approaching me, but I kept taking some steps backward, my heart pounding heavily."Who are you, and what do you want from me? I asked him while clutching my baby tightly to my chest."For who I am, I'm a friend to your mate Alpha Darian, and for what I want, it's just to repay him a favor, and the only way to do that is to bring you back to him safe and sound," he said to me while approaching me.As I was taking some steps backward, I approached the table and immediately took the knife that was on the table. It's the knife I had used while preparing my baby's food, and happily, I haven't returned it to the kitchen."I don't know who you are or what you are talking about; Alpha Darian was here yesterday, and if he wanted to take me, he would have, so I
Darian's POV"So you finally found out?" He asked me with a smirk. "You are right little bro, she was never my mate," he said to me, confirming my suspicions."Damn you Richard," I said to him before punching the cage once again and immediately the who palace shook violently."You see Darian, I was on the tree that very day when the rogues that were after her told her that they were sent by his mate, and when she asked them who her mate was, they told her Alpha Darian and I didn't need to think twice before knowing that they were talking about you," he said to me but I ignored him and continued punching the cage angrily, all I wanted to do was get to him and teach him a lesson that he won't forget."Once I saw her, I knew that was the perfect opportunity to pay you back for you and dad did to me, for denying me my birth right, for making me look like the bad person, and trust me Darian, I succeeded, I portrayed as the bad person you are and I would have marked her if not because of yo
Darian's POV"Can you believe that Elena was never mated to that jerk?" I asked Ciara before punching the wall angrily, and immediately it made a hole."Darian! You punch my wall like that again, and I'm going to break your head," Ciara thundered angrily, her eyes boring into me with an icy glare."I'm sorry, Ciara, but how can my very own twin brother do that to me? He himself said that he could have marked my mate if his pack wasn't attacked, and the worst part of it is that I don't even know which of my rival Alphas took her," I said to Ciara, my voice raising in anger."Hope you killed him." Ciara asked me after some minutes of silence."Of course, how do you expect me to kill my twin brother?" I asked her while raising my hands in frustration."Then shut up and sit down." Ciara commanded me, and without uttering any other word, I drew the wooden chair and sat down.Standing up, she took the cup of water that was on the table and handed it to me."I'm not thirsty," I said to her,
Darian's POV "You should go and ask your brother for help," she said to me, and immediately I turned my gaze towards her, my eyes boring into her with an icy glare."Never," I said to her before turning my gaze away."May I know why?" Ciara asked me as I was still looking away."It seems like you didn't hear what I said earlier—that Lunatic stole my mate and tried marking her, knowing well that she's mate—in the name of what? In the name of our father, we made the Alpha instead of him," I said to her, my voice raising in anger."I understand what you are saying, Richard,but you still have yourself to blame. You could have been in your pack with your mate and your pup ruling peacefully if not for your ignorance and cruelty. Just take a proper look at yourself, the great Alpha Darian, no pack, no subjects, no mate, no pup, leaving in the forest like a rogue, and here I am telling you how to get your mate back, and you are busy blabbering rubbish," she said to me while peering into my e
Darian's POVWhat on earth is wrong with you Darian, why are you being a thorn in the flesh for me?" Richard asked me while fuming in anger.Actually when my men and I got to his palace, his guards didn't allow us to pass, possibly because of what that transpired between their Alpha and I; we had to fight ourselves inside.We were still struggling with his guards when Richard came out fuming in anger.Once he saw me and my soldiers, he glared angrily at me before signalling his guards to let us in."You made me a thorn in your flesh when you took my mate into your custody, if you had allowed me to leave with her the first time I came here, noone could have abducted her," I said to him my voice raising in anger."So the reason why you came here is to remind me that your mate was kidnapped because me right? Well I'm very sorry Darian, I mean very sorry and I take the blame for my action are you satisfied?" He asked me with a sarcastic tone and I nodded negatively and he frowned."Then
Darian's POVMy soldiers and I were just some meters away from Ciara's pack when we started hearing the grunts and howls of werewolves. Without hesitating, we immediately jumped down from our horses and started running towards the pack, and just as expected, the pack was under attack by rogues. Without hesitation, we immediately shifted into our wolf forms and dashed towards the rogues.It was really a tough confrontation that lasted up to thirty minutes before we were able to subdue the rogues, ripping off their heads one after the other.As we were still looking around to see if there was anyone else remaining alive, she had a loud shriek from Ciara's chamber, and without hesitating, I dashed into her, fearing that something bad hadn't happened to her. She has been very helpful to me, and I won't forgive myself if something bad ever happens to her.Once we ran inside the chamber, we saw her sitting beside the wall, supported by Jared, her son. She was bleeding from the stomach, and
Darian's POV It has been over thirty minutes since Ciara and I, accompanied by some of our soldiers, have been riding through the thick forest. I have tried asking her where we were heading, but it seems she was determined not to tell me. After being snubbed twice, I decided to follow her silently without asking any questions.After riding for another thirty minutes, I started perceiving some strange scents around the area, and without hesitating, I linked with my soldiers, asking them to keep their guards. Being in the forest, everything was possible; no one cares if you are an Alpha, Beta, or Omega; once you get in their way, they will attack you.As these thoughts were running through my mind, I started seeing some werewolves standing on some trees with their arrows. From the view of things, it was as if I were their main target; none of them was even looking at Ciara and her soldiers; possibly they already knew who she was; their arrows were pointed towards me and my soldiers; it
Darian's POV"So, if I understand well, they took your pack and two of your rival Alphas abducted your mate, and now they want you to take your pack back and give them back their territories?" Dexter Ciara's younger brother asked me, and I nodded."To be sincere, Alpha Darian, your case is really complicated, but what I still don't understand is how your mate and pup were abducted right under your watch," he said to me, and immediately I bent my head in shame. I didn't really know how I was going to explain to him that she wasn't abducted under my watch, that she ran away from my castle because of me, and that was how they got the opportunity to abduct her."Just as I said earlier, Dexter, that's a long story," Ciara said to Dexter, sparing me from getting humiliated.Dexter, noticing that Ciara didn't want me to talk about it, nodded in agreement."Ok, if I may ask, how may I help you?" Dexter asked me, and immediately I looked at Ciara, who signaled for me to speak up."Actually, I
Richard's Pov "No, no no!!!! Alpha Darian, please wake." Elena cried bitterly once I dropped the lifeless body of my brother."Please wake up, Alpha Darian. She kept on crying while pushing Darian's lifeless body, ignoring the consolation of the other she-wolves.Meanwhile, I stood beside Ciara, fighting back my tears. From Ciara's facial expressions, it was clear that she too was fighting back her own tears. As Alphas, we weren't allowed to shed tears before our subjects; shedding tears was like showing off our weaknesses, whereas we were required to remain strong in any situation.After some minutes, Ciara, who couldn't withhold her tears anymore, turned and started heading towards her chamber; at least that was the only place where she could shed a sob privately.I don't know much about Darian and Elena's relationship but one thing was sure, she hated him during his lifetime because of how he mistreated her and I can't judge her because of that, even I too would have hated him if
Justin's Pov"What on earth is taking Adrian so long to return?" I questioned myself while pacing around the room, thinking of what I was going to tell my mother when she asked me about Adrian once again.It has been two days since him and Derrick went after Alpha Darian's mate, and since then I haven't heard from him. The worst part of the whole issue is that I can't mind linking with him, and our mother wasn't aware that he went after Alpha Darian's mate. Since these two days, I have been lying to her about Adrian's whereabouts. If she hasn't noticed that I'm lying, it's because Adrian hasn't been gone for long, and I'm sure that soon she's going to notice that I'm lying, and I have to go and find out what's keeping taking him before he gets himself into trouble."Justin!!!" My mother's voice sounded as she approached my room, and without hesitating, I quickly composed myself so that she wouldn't notice anything odd about me or suspect that I'm lying to her."Justin, open this door
Darian's POV"Hello Darian, It's been a while; did you miss me?" She asked me, jolting me back to reality. When I tried opening my mouth to speak, the words refused to come out.Since I became the Alpha of this pack, I have fought against many strange creatures, but not against someone who was beheaded right in front of me and whose dead body was buried right in front of me. Her presence was already sending cold shivers down my spine, and if I didn't gather myself together, I might shift back into my human form, and that was the last thing I wanted. I had to be in my form, precisely the Lycan form, in order to face anything that was about to happen."Come on, Darian, why are you staring at me like someone who has seen a ghost?" She asked me with a cunning smile hovering over her face."Seriously, did she just ask me why I'm staring at her like a ghost? Isn't she a ghost?" I asked myself inwardly."I know you will be wondering how I'm still alive, Darian, but the truth is that you alre
Darian's POV"What on earth was that?" They asked me while covering their noses because of the powder's odor."You are soon going to find out," I said to them before shifting into my wolf form, but this time around, it wasn't my normal wolf form but the Lycan form."What on earth happened to your fur and eyes, Alpha Darian? Don't tell me that you lost your Alpha position in the forest," they said to me with a mockery tone."How I wish that was the main issue here; anyway, why don't you allow me to show you people if I have lost my Alpha position or not?" I said to them before howling angrily, and immediately I dashed towards them.I was astonished by the fact that I wasn't scared of them like the previous time they dashed towards me, and just like two swords clashing together, we clashed against each other, projecting ourselves in different directions.It took me some minutes to recover from the clash, and when I managed to get up, I was surprised to see the three supreme Alphas strug
"Elena's POV"I couldn't believe my eyes when Richard rushed inside the chamber and pounced on the strange werewolf who was trying to break into the invisible cage that Ciara had used in protecting my baby and me. It was really thoughtful of Ciara to protect inside the cage because if she hadn't, I couldn't imagine what the strange werewolf would have done to me and my baby.Some minutes after Richard had left with the strange werewolf, he returned accompanied by Ciara, who immediately rushed towards me and freed me from the cage. Once I came out, I immediately hugged her tightly. I didn't even know how to thank her for saving my life and that of my baby; saying thank you wasn't enough to thank her for everything she has been doing for me.When we disengaged from the hug, my gaze met that of Richard, and despite the fact that I was angry with him, I approached him and thanked him for coming to my aid, and he nodded without replying."Ciara can I ask you a question you a question?" I a
Ciara's PovAs the sound of the howlings was getting louder, I immediately rushed outside, and what I saw almost rendered me mute: some groups of vampires and werewolves. My soldiers were already fighting against them, but they had no chances against them, especially two among them who were easily taking down my soldiers. From the perspective of things, one of them was the vampire lord and the other was an Alpha. Seeing how they were killing my soldiers, I immediately rushed outside, and what I saw almost rendered me mute, some groups of vampires and Werewolves, my soldiers were already fighting against them but they had no chances against especially two among them who were easily taking down my soldiers, from the view of things, one of them was the vampire lord and the other was an Alpha , seeing how they were killing my soldiers, I immediately shifted into my wolf form and dashed towards them, striking down the vampires and rival werewolves unmercifully.When the Vampire lord and th
Ciara's PovIt has been over two hours since Darian and his soldiers left for Wolfeenwood pack, if it depended on me, I would have asked him not to go but knowing how stubborn Darian was, asking him not to go would only be a waste of time, for now, the person I'm worried about the most is Elena, I know that all this will be hard on her, getting back with Darian after everything he had done to her in the past, all those past images will always come playing in her head anytime she sees him, only if she could find it in her heart to forgive him and also forget about the past and try to concentrate on the present and also what the future reserves that would be really beneficial for her and also for her child and in addition to that Darian have really changed for the good, he's no more ruthless and fierce like before and that's one of the reasons why I'm always helping him whenever he needs my helps.With these thoughts running through my mind, I sighed heavily and started heading towards
Darian's POVAfter the expected refusal of Richard, I started heading back to Ciara's pack with mixed feelings of anger and dejection. I was aware that he wasn't going to accept to help, but still, I wasted my time and walked all the way to his pack without any single guard, but just as I had expected, he plainly refused to help me without any second thoughts.With all these thoughts running through my mind, I didn't even realize when I arrived at the pack. As I was heading towards Ciara's chamber, I saw Elena sitting outside with Richard on her laps; she was busy playing with him; she didn't even realize when I approached her.Not wanting to take her by surprise as usual, I slowly placed my hand on her shoulder, and immediately she froze before looking around and seeing me standing behind her."Hi Elena, how are you?" I asked her while walking to her front so that she could see me clearly."I'm fine," she replied before placing Richard on her lap."How was your day and that of Richar
Adrian's POV "I order you to let go of my brother Derrick," I commanded him while tightening my grip against his neck, and immediately Justin started growling in as he too tightened his grip against Justin's neck."Nice try, Adrian, but I'm not a werewolf, so you can't order me," he said to me while tightening his grip against Justin's neck."Let go of my neck, and I will let go of his," he said to me, and immediately I sighed heavily before removing my claws from his neck, and immediately he released Justin before standing up.Once Justin stood up, he tried attacking Derrick, but I was too fast to block his hand."It seems like you didn't tell him about me before bringing him here," Derrick said to me while licking the blood on his claws."Whatever Derrick," I said to him while holding Justin back."What are you looking for in my territory, Adrian? Derrick asked me while signaling for his warriors to return to their posts."Who's he?" Justin whispered to me in a lonely tone."I'm De
