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
Elena's POVIt has been three days since I have been locked up in this room. They only allow me to come out in the morning and in the evening to take my birth and also bathe my baby,and afterwards they will take me back to the room. That's where I will stay till the end of the evening, when I will be allowed to come out and take my bath again and also clean my baby up.Staying in the room remembers me nothing else than the moments I had stayed in Alpha Darian's palace locked up from morning to dawn. The only difference is that the room in which I was occupying Alpha Darian's palace had everything inside, including the bathroom and toilet, and I had no baby back then. It was only Tricksy and I against the world, but here it's Richard and I against the world. Tricksy had decided to ghost me since then, leaving me all to myself.Sometimes when I'm bored, I try talking to Richard, even though I know he can't reply. At least I know deep down that he can hear what I'm saying, and he too wis
Darian's POV The battle between my soldiers and that of Alpha Benson's men have been a very fierce one, the battle wasn't favouring any side against the other, the vigour that my soldiers were using to strike down Alpha Benson's soldiers was the also the same vigour they too were using to strike mine down too; meanwhile my main aim was to make my way into the palace because from where I was, I could already sense Elena's presence but the only issue was the soldiers, they were unstoppable, once you strike one down, another attacks you immediately and just like every other battle, everyone had his head to fend for; what that surprised me the most was that Alpha Benson was no where to be found including Alpha Ethan who I thought that would be helping him out, since in the letter they sent to me, both of their names were on it meaning they were working together.It's really strange for an Alpha not to be on the battlefield while his men are out there fighting, unless he was planning som
Darian's POV Looking at the numbers of soldiers standing right in front of me, their eyes glittering in anger, I knew that the only move to make was to retrieve, but unfortunately for me, I was in a situation where retrieving wasn't among the options. Eduardo and Leroy too couldn't come to my aid because they couldn't pass through the portal, so I had no other choice but to fight.With a wicked grin hovering over my face, I started shifting into my wolf form. Once they noticed that I was already shifting, they too started shifting too, but being an Alpha, I could shift more quickly than them. Once I shifted, I dashed towards them, not even giving them the opportunity to shift completely. I started striking them unmercifully, their blood splashing everywhere. I was still slashing them when I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my back and at the same time on my leg. The fact that they were outnumbered made it impossible for me to know who among them was slashing me. The pain kept on intens
Darian's POV "Hello, Alpha Darian, so you finally made it to the last level?" Alpha Benson asked me with a wicked smirk."And what happened to your fur and eyes, Alpha Darian? Don't tell me that the supreme Alphas took away your Alpha abilities too, because the eyes of an Alpha are supposed to be glowing red, not yellow, or whatever it's glowing over there," he said to me from where he was standing."I didn't come here to discuss the color of my fur or my eyes; I came here because of my mate, and I will advise you to hand her over to me peacefully," I said to them, and immediately they glanced at each other before bursting into a round of laughter."Did I just hear you say peacefully?" Alpha Benson asked me with a mocking tone. "Since when did you start promoting peace, Alpha Darian? If not the Darian that I had known doesn't like peace, all he likes is war, and that is what we are giving you, and we are going to give you more of it, and for your information, we made our request very
Elena's POV I was taken aback when Alpha Darian turned my face and clashed his lips with mine. It happened so fast that I didn't even get the chance to protest; I wanted to stop him or even push him away for kissing me without my consent, but there was this intense pleasure that came with the kiss, this sensation that I had never felt before, and instead of pushing him away, I found myself drawing my face closer and savoring the passionate kiss. We were still lost in the passion when Richard suddenly started crying, jolting us back to reality, and without hesitating, we broke the kiss, avoiding his gaze. I carried Richard, who was lying on my lap, and started calming him down."Can I see him?" He asked me, and I nodded and handed Richard over to him. Once he carried him, he stopped crying."What's his name?" Alpha Darian asked me."Richard," I said to him, and immediately he frowned."Seriously? Must you name him after my brother?" he asked me. From his facial expression, I could see
Darian's POVWhen I came out with Elena and saw the number of soldiers lying lifelessly on the floor, I widened my eyes in surprise because, from the view of things, it was as if the rival soldiers had multiplied by two; possibly the soldiers of Alpha Ethan had come to assist Alpha Benson's soldiers, but unfortunately for them, Richard had a change of mind and decided to come and help me, and from what I'm seeing, they were the ones who dominated the battle.Leaving Elena behind, I started walking towards Richard, but to my greatest surprise, Elena held my hand once again as I was about to walk to where Richard was with his soldiers. From the look on her face, it was clear to me that she was afraid of Richard, but I don't know the reason why. Without uttering a word, I allowed her to follow me from behind as I walked to where Richard was with his soldiers."So you finally decided to show up?" I asked Richard with an inquisitive look."Yes, my conscience didn't allow me to leave my you
Darian's POVThe journey from Red Moon Pack to Ciara's Pack was a stressful one. After the warfare, walking back to Ciara's Pack, which was an hour walk, wasn't an easy task. We didn't come with enough horses, so the ones we came with were used to transport the wounded soldiers, and one was left aside for my mate Elena. Many of the soldiers couldn't shift into their wolf packs due to how tired they were, and in order to assure everyone's security, I suggested that we all walk back together, while Richard and his soldiers stayed back and burned all the dead soldiers.After an hour of tiring travel, we finally arrived at Ciara's pack, and before our arrival, the sun had already started setting slowly.We were still some distance away from the pack when we spotted Ciara and her soldiers approaching us.Once Ciara saw us, she came down from her horse and started running towards us. As she was approaching, I thought she was coming to congratulate me for winning the battle, but to my greate
