BRIAN I have never felt so betrayed before in my entire life. I saved her from being a rogue and accepted her into my pack. I fed and clothed her. I made sure she didn't suffer for anything throughout her pregnancy, even when the council elders refused to accept her, I threatened and made them accept her, only to be betrayed this way.As an Alpha, I was never supposed to be so kind hearted to a stranger but I still disobeyed the laws of the land because of her. I took care of her, forsook my pack duties because she was in labor. I took care of all the bills and everything she needed with her new born baby.I neglected the bad comments from everyone and decided to father her child even when we both knew the child wasn't mine. Jasper grew up to know me as his daddy. Why did she decide to stab in the back this way? It was part of her plans all along. Her real name is Aurora and not Riley. All these happenings made things make sense, I could recall each time I ask about her parents or wh
BRIAN"Don't ever leave me, Riley," I whispered."I won't," she mumbled and brought her lips towards my ears and gave it a little bite. It sent chills down my spine, it made my body move in a rhythmic way. "Riley, I really don't want to hurt you." I mumbled, my eyesight was getting foggy."You are not hurting me and you won't hurt me, Brian. You love me right?" She asked, bringing her face closer to mine.All I could see was Riley's round face and sharp eyes. Her lips collided with mine and I reciprocated with the same energy. It's been so long I kissed someone.Sierra had tried to kiss me a couple of times but I pushed her away each time. I lost interest completely when Riley came into my pack and it's her lips I've always wanted to have a taste of. And today that it seems like all was lost, I finally got a taste of Riley’s lips.I held her face tightly to mine and took control of the kiss. I stood up, allowing my robe to fall to the ground. I grabbed her butts from the short gown she
RALPH A huge burden rested on my shoulders having one thought in my head - will my mate ever forgive me? Can she just try to listen to me and allow me to make an explanation? Well, one thing is for sure. No amount of excuse or explanation can redeem what I have done to her. I just wish everything can go back to the way it was. Aside from the pain I caused my mate, another regret of mine is not being able to witness my baby growing in her. I wasn't able to witness when she gave birth to our baby boy. My nonchalance didn't allow me to take care of our son for five whole years. Everything is just too messed up and I don't know how to rectify it, I really don't know how. "Don't harm yourself, Alpha." Adrian tried to talk me out of my thinking. I sent him out immediately. No one should interrupt me. No one could try to bring me back to my senses when they saw me maltreating my mate. No one could have the nobility of going the extra mile to see what went wrong. No one was able to deci
AURORA “I know I'm not the heir, Dad. I know I have a son out there who will succeed your throne.” He stopped in his tracks immediately. "What do you mean?" He asked and I smiled. "You have a child outside and he stays amongst the humans. I don't know him personally but I think his name is Kace. I heard you talking about him to Beta Arthur a long time ago." I explained. My dad suddenly bursted into laughter and I became confused. What's funny? "Kace is my sister's son. He is human and not a wolf." He said and I became more confused. "My parents gave birth to me and my sister. My sister fell in love with a human and gave birth to a son who also turned out to be human. Technically, you are the only child who has a wolf in this generation of mine." He explained. I almost slapped my head. Why was I so fast to make conclusions? "I'm sorry. I was so quick witted." I apologized, giving a nervous laugh while massaging my neck gently. Dad came closer to me, "You are the only one and tr
AURORA I had ordered one of the maids to deliver our food so dad doesn't bother to sneak out. It is to avoid anyone seeing him and thereby spreading rumors about him being healed suddenly when his daughter came back. My new identity as a blue blood wolf must be kept a secret. I left Jasper with dad while I went to my room to take a nap. Entering my room, all of the memories flashed in my head. I missed my room so much but I am here now. I bounced on the bed and slept off almost immediately. Within the next few minutes, my brows started contorting and I started sweating. A deserted place. White wolves. Two wolves were in a fight with one another. Paws were raised against paws. Growls and gnashing sounds resonated in the whole area. Their nails scratched one another's furs. For what seemed like eternity, a wolf finally fell. It was heavily wounded, blue blood dropped out from its wounds. The scene was confusing and even more confusing when I got transferred to another realm. A woma
AURORA "Princess ---" Dad left the particular spot he was shielding, and my heart dropped to my feet. Life ran out of me at the fastest pace ever, looking at my Jasper sprawled on the kitchen table with blood all over his mouth. Color got drained from my face as it grew pale. Is that my Jaspy on the table? At first, my feet were glued to the ground as though they couldn't move. My brain refused to acknowledge that it is my son sprawled on the kitchen table like a lamb of sacrifice. My instincts kicked in, rebooting my entire system. I rushed towards him, "Jaspy? My baby...." I couldn't control the tears that fell from my eyes. They just continued dropping like there was a full tank stored in my eyes. "What the fuck happened!" I screamed like a mad woman. The maid shifted backward in fear. "Why is Jasper like this? Can someone give me a fucking explanation?" My dad held my hands, but I fought to hold my son. "The doctor is on his way here. Jasper will be fine." He tried to calm me
AURORA "That was a remarkable speech, but there is a bounty on your head now," said one of the elders, Sir Ernad, from the backseat where he was sitting. I was confused. What did he mean? "Alpha, we have to sell the rogue because she is a blue blood," I heard, and my eyes widened in fear as I turned to my dad. Has my secret already been exposed? Some of the Alphas insisted that a bounty had been placed on my head. I had two options: they could sell me to those who wanted me dead, or they could kill me and claim their prize. I sank back into my chair, bewildered. What kind of test was this? I had just delivered a speech from the bottom of my heart, hoping it would change their hostile views towards me. Looking around, I saw that my speech had changed the perspectives of some, but a significant number of them still disagreed. These were the ones who were willing to go to any lengths to ensure my demise. I looked at my dad and he gave me a reassuring nod. I quickly stood and headed
RALPH"We can’t have it done that way," one of the council elders objected. We were discussing how to increase the pack's production, and some were suggesting raising the tax.Another elder stood up, "Tax has already been increased twice this year. We can’t increase it again. It will be too harsh on the pack members," he argued.I heaved a sigh. This issue was becoming complicated. How do I solve this? The produce that each family was getting was small, and they were complaining that it wasn't enough to feed their families.It was the same way the produce in the family was being rationed too. The kitchen head of maids had come to see me personally on that same issue, giving me a warning ahead that there would be a point where there would be no food left to buy in the market."If we increase the tax again, we are only favoring the palace and not the pack members. They are already hungry, and you want them to run out of money too?" My Beta chipped in.An increment in tax wasn’t the righ
Aurora I watched the faces of the crowd go pale as they saw her head drop to a side and everywhere erupted in chaos as someone shouted. "A dead Alpha!" People stood to leave in a rush knowing the meaning of the very clear statement yet I watched closely. I knew they would come for her.The chaos and noise woke her from her slumber.It took her a while to adjust her eyes to the light but she eventually did and looked around frantically. I had let her sit freely without binding her to the chair so she could lead me to my target. 'Where is he?' I was in her head not as a mind link but as a torment perks of being the blue blood leader actually, I could invade their heads and get them to do my bidding but I rarely used my powers out of courtesy. This was one of the rare occasions. She held her head as if to silence my voice and jumped to her feet. On seeing this most people paused seeing she was alive."She's alive!" Cheers erupted so the ceremony could continue. "Please mount the podi
AuroraHe refused to tell me his name but I wasn’t interested in it, I was more interested in how he was able to numb his scent. "I don't know you, you have the wrong person." He said getting down from the bed to leave."Don't force me to get the information from you because I can and I bet you already know who I am." I stopped him."Just leave me the fuck alone. I said I'm not who you think I am."He was getting agitated, maybe he thought I was pulling his legs and trying to frame him like they had done his mum before he suddenly went missing. "Liar." I lifted his shirt to reveal the mark of my mother's bloodline .I had the same matk in the same spot."Do you still have anything to say for yourself?" I asked when he didn't deny further."What do you want from me? My past is buried." He looked sad and lost. I threw my hand around him and hugged him.He was much older than me but he had suffered a lot and I heard the stories growing up and only got to spend a few years with him durin
AuroraI had less than twenty four hours to either get it right or get it wrong, I realized my heart wasn't beating irregularly because I knew I was in full control yet still I wasn't ready for the worst to come."What are you going to do with her?" Connie asked me as she and Lyon watched the unconscious Zendaya lie in state."Wait, I'll wait for her to come around and snitch on us." I said actually meaning it.I needed her to regain consciousness and call for back up. I was going to end it all where it began. "Then?" Lyon was quite curious."Then the party begins." I told them"Alright now you're beginning to sound exactly as the Alpha would and that's wierd as fuck." Lyon cringed and I laughed but my heart was sad, I hoped the news got to him as well and he made an effort to come see for himself. "Do you think he'll come?" I asked none of them in particular. "I can't say for sure that the news will get to him given that he is not in his pack." Lyon shrugged. He was right, Ralph w
*Ralph*"I am least interested, my response is not changing. His nose flared and his breathing became labored. He looked different and I didn't push my luck since I was unaware of his abilities and dis.What had he done to himself?He had created a monster of himself with no remorse, he had definitely given more to his wolf side with the way he behaved animalistically on impulse. He was also cautious not to start the war first and I suspected that he still wasn't confident enough in his fortification. No matter the elements including magic, an Alpha remained an Alpha with the blessings of the goddess and several different other gifts. I needed to find Aurora and rescue Lyon, those were the most important things to me at the time. I returned with Kristen to where Brian held up with the rest after getting Annora to safety and I realized why Adrian was playing safe,He was already quite outnumbered seeing that we had two Alphas on our side.Completely exhausted I tried to communicate wi
AuroraIt took a while, lots of effort and all what not to get things out of Zendaya and surprisingly she had still not given me the answers I wanted.She had only given a silly condition for a bargain and I thought it quite fair."Just kill me because my tongue swore an oat not to disclose that information so I wont." She had boldly said that when I plucked her tooth one after the other with a plier and got my alibi to pull out her nails one after the other.A beautiful feel of satisfaction I got watching her writhe in pain but it wasn't exactly enough for me.Seeing the lifeless body of father had definitely brought a chill to my spine and blood, I had become cold hearted towards the parties involved and all I wanted to know was who was in charge.After much operations, Zendaya had offered to take us to the location. "Do you think we can trust her?" Connie asked me when I told her we were going to return to ny dad's pack and recover the seat of power since it was still vacant. Conn
RalphIt was like a movie where you watched lovers tear at each other's throats but what did I care?Adrian laid his bed and he was going to lie in it. Hopefully he was going to rest in peace with his father.I watched the tournament and observed Adrian's strength and weaknesses. He healed very fast, his speed was primal too and his attacks very accurate.Definitely, something had happened to him and I could see that he wasn't even fighting Kylie, he was just defending himself and pushing her away so he didn't hurt her until she found the dagger again."Good girl," I muttered as I saw her hand swing very fast before he could notice to stab him from the back as he laid on her trying to subdue her with his huge frame and weight.Like I said, his speed had greatly improved and in a split second, he rolled off her when he finally saw the dagger.I saw the look of shock on Kylie's face when his weight was lifted off her but she was already in full motion and she couldn't stop herself."Kyl
Adrian"I'm sorry." Kylie mouthed.I saw everything I stood for and fought for, fall to the ground but I couldn't rush in and pull out the stake to start treatment for him.It was a bloody scene, my Dad was still not close enough for me to trespass. I felt my head become light."Kylie why?" I felt a hand squeeze my heart tight that she of all people would betray me this much."Oh common, he's a prisoner charged with treason with a death penalty hanging over his head all this while. He was bound to die sooner or later." Ralph said smiling like the devil himself. I didn't see it coming. I knew had a devil side to him.Ralph had raised my hopes very high and taken me to a vulnerable state only to crash me at lightning speed with the worse thunder bolt; my mate.If it was someone else then I would have wasted no time to rip the person into two with the powers I had attained."I guess you can commend me for being a good Alpha now not so?" He paused and grinned like a child. "I have served
AdrianThe shock I received ran through to my bone marrow when my eyes fell on my mate Kylie, what was she doing here?I had picked her scent first but Ralph's blow had destabilized me in my distracted state and I felt the impact move me meters away but I was least bothered about that."Kylie," I called her name but she stood in her spot at his side. What a dirty game Ralph was playing, I knew him as a principled man and the last thing I expected was for him to drag my innocent mate into all of this."Addy, stop all of this please," she had tears in her eyes as Kristen held her hands to the back not letting her run into my longing arms."Baby I..." I lost the words, I could feel the bond pulling me to her, dampening all my vigor and lust for revenge Damn the goddess for such strong bonds of love that came with fated mates, love was the greatest force of attraction but I couldn't back down from my course simply because she asked, I had gone far deep and there was no redemption for me
RalphI turned and saw Adrian, well I was distracted by him so much so that I didn't pay attention to the petite lady that spoke to me first.He was truly standing there, my blood boiled in my veins as I recalled just how much he had betrayed me but something was off about him.He looked lost and drained, like a zombie maybe."Hello, Ralph." His voice was different too, I would have blamed it on magic but I already picked his scent from a mile away."Somewhere in my head I still thought that you'll be decent enough to address me as Alpha but I see that you already severed all the ties." I replied quite calm."There's not much to gain from given that I'm never going to kneel before you." "Bastard," I threw it at him utterly disgusted by his audacity. "More like the Ralph I know, calm doesn't suit you at all." Something was wrong, they had done things to Adrian and he had the look of a murderous monster in his eyes."Where's my mate?" I asked going straight to the point. "Your mate?"
