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
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
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
Elena's POV"You can't just give me out like that, I'm not some kind of property to be traded! I have feelings of my own. I won't let you throw them away," I cried out to my step-father while expecting him to have a change of mind but from the view of things the devil wasn't even budged by my outbursts. Instead he stood where he was his face impassive glaring at me angrily.When he was finally tired of watching me sob like a woman that her child was taken away from her he finally spoke out,"Elena can you for once stop being selfish, Alpha Darian has always been too good to us and we both know that he's good person," he said to me in a convincing manner while expecting me to succumb to his wish but only if he knew the anger that was boiling in my heart anytime he mentioned the name of Alpha Darian.Who in our Pack would say that he isn't aware of how cruel and ruthless Alpha Darian is, even the mention of his name sent cold chills down the spin."Never dad! I will never bear Alpha pup
Elena's POV "Elena we are already here," my step-father said to me while tapping me tenderly and immediately I jerked back to reality.I just couldn't believe that I was lost in my thoughts till the extent that I didn't notice when we got to the palace.Once I stepped down, I first took my time to look at the imposing walls of the Alpha King's castle. It's a dark, foreboding place with towering spires, surrounded by dense, ancient forests. The castle is perched on the edge of a rugged cliff, overlooking a sprawling wilderness. From today henceforth this place is going to become my new living place, the place fate had brought me.As I was still looking around the castle I couldn't help but pray to the moon goddess for a miracle, all I was just praying for was just a simple event that would take place and change everything, a little event that would make the Alpha Darian change his mind and ask me to return back home but is that ever going to happen, was the moon goddess even listening
Elena's POV"Yes Elena, you are now mine, and for the short time we are going to stay together my wish is going to be your command," he said to me, his blue eyes piercing into me."And what if decide not to abide by your rules," I asked him with a daring tone. I still couldn't explain how that question escaped from my mouth or how I gathered up courage to question him but anyway I did it.Once I asked him the question a silent atmosphere engulfed the whole room, possibly this is the first time someone have ever questioned him. From the way he was staring at me with his blue piercing eyes it was as if he he was thinking about the punishment that would be suitable for me for daring to question, something that no one has ever done."Do you really want to know what I do to people who don't abide to my rules?" He broke the silence, his lips curving in a wicked smile and immediately I swallowed hard."Do you also want to know what I do people who snub me when I ask them question," he asked
Elena's POV It has been five months since I started living in Alpha Darian's castle and truth be told these three months had been nothing but a nightmare for me. Just as usual I was inside my chamber like a captive bird in a gilded cage. The room was adorned with opulent furnishings, but its grandeur only served to highlight my isolation. The Alpha had strictly prohibited me from leaving my room talk less of stepping out of the castle. The only time I had the opportunity to walk around the castle is when he isn't around. I could clearly see the pity written all over the faces of the guards and the servants of the castle whenever I walk into them while walking around the castle. They were all witnessing what I was going through, how I was treated like someone suffering from Leprosy maybe that is the reason why they never made mention to him that I always leave my room whenever he isn't around. Each day that passed kept on bringing me closer to the moment when I would fulfill my des
Darian's POV "Alpha Darian, it has been over three months since we brought to your knowledge the issue of not having an heir to your throne. Mind you, our decision still hasn't changed. If sooner you don't present to us the heir to your throne, we are going to take your pack away from you and give it to another Alpha who can produce an heir who will take over after his reign," one of the supreme Alphas said to me. The Alpha Council has summoned me and other Alphas from seven different packs for an important meeting. Once I received the message, I knew that it was because of me that they organized the meeting. The last time we organized the meeting, it was to congratulate me for helping the Alpha of Bloodmoon pack recover his pack from the hands of Rogues, who took him by surprise, and to also let him know that two territories in his pack will be under my control because that was the prize the Alpha council promised to pay any Alpha who succeeded in recovering the pack for him. At th

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
