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
Darian's POVWhen I drew Elena into my embrace and kissed her by surprise, I was expecting her to push me away or possibly scream at me for kissing her for the second time without her consent, but to my greatest surprise, she did nothing of the sort; instead, she pulled her feet up a little in order to reach my height since I was a little taller than her. Seeing that she too was into it, I pulled her closer to myself, sucking her lips and tasting her sweetness as if my life depended on it, not minding the fact that someone could walk past the corridor any time soon.We were still lost in our passionate kiss when I started hearing the footsteps of someone approaching us."The both of you should get yourselves a room." Ciara's voice sounded from beside us, jolting us back to reality.Rolling her eyes angrily at both of us, she started heading outside with Richard tied to her back."I asked you to get me a broom, Elena, not to come and kiss your mate," she said loudly as she was walking o
Darian's POV"Yes, Darian, I know how you can defeat the supreme Alphas, but trust me, it's not something you are going to like," she said to me, her lips curving in a cunning smile, and immediately I furrowed my brows at her, wondering what she's about to tell me."What do you mean by that?" I asked her with an inquisitive look."Actually, if the supreme Alphas were able to beat the hell out of you the previous time you went there, it's because they are triplets and they have the ability to merge together," she said to me, and immediately I frowned at her."They didn't beat the hell out of me, and secondly, we didn't even engage in a proper fight; if not for how they vanished right in front of me, I would have really taught them a lesson," I said to Ciara confidently, and immediately she chuckled mockingly at me before shaking her head in disbelief."Noted Packless Alpha Darian," she said to me sarcastically. "Do you mind if I go on with my explanation, your highness?" she asked me w
Darian's POV"Seriously, Darian, I thought I had told you a thousand times to stop coming to my pack." Riqchard asked me, his eyes boring into me with an icy glare."Actually, the reason why I came here is to thank you for assisting me in rescuing my mate. As you can see, I didn't even come with any of my soldiers so that you won't think that I came to cause trouble for you," I said to him, and he nodded."That's really thoughtful of you, Darian; after all, you don't even need your soldiers in order to protect yourself," he said to me from his throne."Do you mind if I sit down?" I asked him since he hadn't asked me to take a seat since I arrived."If you wish to sit, then sit, but if you don't wish to sit, you can keep standing," he said to me with a frown.After glaring angrily at him for some seconds, I approached one of the chairs and sat down."So tell me, Darian, what brought you here. We both know that you didn't come here to thank me for assisting you in battle. There's anothe
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
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
