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
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
