Regan’s POV I gnashed my teeth as I increased the speed of my wheel. It was clear enough that I was useless. I couldn't defend myself or my people. Yes, this isn't me but what is the essence of the prominence held in obscurity? By the time I arrived at my chambers, my vision was red. All the guards knew better than to fly out my way. "Roy! Fetch Tega's body. It's along the lawns that lead to the courtroom. Be careful not to get caught," I ordered one of my guards. "Tega's body? Yes… Yes, My Prince…" he stuttered, widening his eyes. I rode on at a dangerous speed and it was a miracle that I did not fall off the wheelchair. The first place my eyes caught was the racks of alcohol in my living room. I was going crazy and I needed and I needed whatever would dull my pain. Driving towards the towering racks of alcohol, I tried grabbing a bottle but it suddenly became a struggle since my hands couldn’t reach it and while I was at it, a hand came from nowhere to take it out. I looke
Regan’s POV, Do you know that feeling when you finally find your lost treasure? That was the state I was pummeled into the moment I rode into my study. The sight of my shadow guard who was sitting in his invisible form on one of the chairs uplifted my spirits in a way I’d never expected. “M..my...my...prince.” He got on his feet immediately when I entered. His facial expression had a nervous glitch which I ignored and instead sprang to my feet. “Adrian!!” I cooed as I engulfed him in a bone-crushing hug. I felt his body stiffen under my grip but it gradually relaxed as I continued hugging him tightly like my life depended on it.... well, maybe It did. “Adrian I’m sorry. I’m so sorry for not coming to check on you. I’m sorry!” I kept muttering words of apology as I hugged the shit out of him. I couldn’t believe it myself as I felt tears break free from my eyes. “Okay, that’s enough now, please. You’re cho...choking me ...Argh...” Adrain protested, struggling to break free from m
Regan’s POV, I watched as Adrian compressed my wheelchair and tossed it under the desk. He then walked towards me, giving me a knowing look. I nodded, and he wound his arm around my middle. Instantly, we became invisible, and together we dissolved into thin air. We traveled through space and landed in a different location.As I disengaged from Adrian, my eyes scanned around and I discovered we were in a grassland. “What are we doing here? I mean… I thought you were taking me directly to the cave.” I arched my brows and then scanned the premises once more. The area was void. Looking yonder, the blue sky overlapped with the green grasses creating an illusion of a beautiful preset.The strong wind had our hair and garments swirling around, it was quite refreshing. Refreshing to be outside the fucking palace once again. “Overlook my indulgence, my Prince. I know how much you like to ride on Maximus and walk around. That's why I decided to bring you here… to enjoy the ride." Adrian s
Ashley’s POV,I knew that Logan wouldn’t really hurt me, but I was scared for Allen. Considering Logan's extreme hatred towards him, this will certainly not end well.My eyes darted to the entrance of Allen's room and I cringed.“I am sorry…. I’m sorry for coming here I… swear, I didn’t…..” I stuttered and my voice trailed off as I turned to face Logan. It was my last resort. I had to beg him this time.I quickly bowed to avoid his gaze which must be spitting fire by now. But who am I kidding? Without spitting a word, Logan gripped my wrist and I gasped. He then pulled me away from my spot, dragging me into the nearest compartment.All the way, I couldn't look at him. My heart throbbed when he let go. I braced myself up expecting him to take his anger on me but I was wrong.“Ashley…” he murmured with a soft tone and I rared my head up, looking into his eyes. Although his eyes were unnaturally red, there was a soft glow in his eyes which made me frown. Taking a good look at him. He l
Ashley’s POV, A chilly breeze caressed my skin, yet I felt so hot. Playing the middleman for two foes who were trying to put away their differences could be really choking. Right now, I was sitting together with both Prince Logan and Allen on a round table. So far, nobody had spoken a word and the tension between Logan and Allen as they fixed their gazes was so thick. “So? What now? Why did you call me all the way down here?” Allen finally broke the silence. His tone sounded harsh and he looked so exasperated like he should be anywhere else but here. Well, he’d downright turned down Logan’s request when he came for him at the slave quarters. Aside from the fact that it was already late in the night, Allen didn’t want anything to do with Logan but I had to step in. I mean after the sincere apology we got from Alpha Simpson the previous day, it wouldn't look good for Allen to turn down Logan so I had to persuade him to hear Logan out. Moreover, we agreed to work together as a t
Ashley’s POV, It has been an uneventful weekend as nothing new really took place. Well, except you want to add the fact that Allen and Logan finally resolved their differences but we haven’t really had any important convo before our new mission.Though the moon goddess had blessed the day richly, I wasn’t getting a share of that. The day was bright, sunny, and windy. The wind blew hard, twirling my hair and attire. But after working my life out, all I felt now was exhaustion as beads of sweat were all over my body. I and the other slaves were out on the field, not a literal field though. We were simply working and we were split into two groups. While male slaves dug the soils for iron ores, the females had to go carrying them in sacks into the storeroom.Eventually, the work was gradually coming to a close as the male slaves finished their jobs while we had to do the finishing.Allen came to join me and he relieved me of work by helping me carry down the materials. Though we got sc
Regan’s POV, Sitting in my wheelchair, I was lost in thought. Things were going as planned and if things continued to work out, we would soon stage the proposed attack against King Muna and Queen Dowager.I didn't want bloodshed, especially the blood of the innocent. But sometimes crucial sacrifices can't be avoided. Overtaking King Muna wouldn't happen if we continue to play by the book.Taking a break from my thoughts, I brought the bottle of vodka to my mouth and drained some of the liquid.A faint smile painted my lips as I remembered my last meeting with the three wise men.The gold we hijacked from the Dowager was successfully traded in the human world. And I urgently needed to sign some documents, that was why Adrian needed to pick me up. It was indeed an urgent matter.While werewolves controlled the supernatural, humans had the deadliest war weapons that could make the strongest of our kinds to cower. Now that my weapons had snowballed, the day of battle was nigh and I just
Logan’s POV, It was a normal day and I was taking a walk around, the pack mansion. My hands folded behind me as I was deep in thoughts.The breeze was gentle. It caressed my skin and made my long hair swirl. I strutted past trees, some busy pack workers and slaves who all performed royal bows at the sight of me. As usual, the females however went overboard; they giggled and waved their fingers at me, throwing themselves at me but I only offered a smug smile which shooed them off. As I continued touring, I halted when something caught my attention. Mattias was at a distance bickering at a girl who just walked past me a while ago. She was kneeling before him crying bitterly.Martias yelled something at her while lashing her with a whip. The sight of it aggravated me so I dashed towards them. “And what’s going on here?”I settled for a gentle tone and Mattias immediately receded at the sight of me. Taking a glance at the weeping girl, I could see relief all over her face.“I caught th
EpilogueAdrian's POVI became King Regan's personal guard. I had a chamber to myself in the palace and I began to live in a house like a normal person. I could say that I had all that I wanted but no, something was missing. I had an argument with Natasha and she left me. It was on the day when we conquered King Muna and the Dowerga. When I returned home, Nat was mad at me. She wanted us to get rid of the Dowerga, it was her revenge. I told her that I had no influence over the Dowerga's fate. Whether she dies or lives was not my decision to make. We couldn't kill her during the shootout and after it all when her grandson, Prince Asher wanted to kill her, but My Lord, King Regan, pleaded on her behalf and sent her to exile instead.Nat wasn't satisfied she wanted the Dowerga dead and wanted me to help her or she would do it by herself. I was in a fix. I understood that she wanted revenge but I couldn't go against my master. His wish is my command. I forbade Natasha from doing somethi
Ashley's POVI knew my chance of survival was slim and I felt accomplished even in death. My mission was accomplished. I was able to inform them about my pups and I was able to see Regan. The look in his eyes when he held me... It was enough for me. I would take it to the afterlife.I wasn't willing to come around. I wasn't ready to face the truth about why the king didn't search me, I wasn't ready to know all that he had with Becca. The last memory of the shock and love in his eyes when he held me was enough for me. Therefore, when I opened my eyes I was sure I was in the afterlife. I did not know how many days I had spent on the borderline between the living and the dead, but I was certain of where I was.I was in an empty room and I was the only one there. I'm free, I smiled and looked around carefully. It felt like I was back in Prince Regan's chambers and in the bedroom that we shared when I was with him.I felt light and I thought I was on my feet. At a closer look, I realised
Regan's POV "Ashley!!!" I yelled but she blacked out. Without thinking, I took to my heels and raced down to the clinic with Ashley in my arms. The royal physician took charge. He put everything on hold to attend to her. I couldn't stay still. I paced the waiting room restlessly, waiting for a report. I couldn't fathom what happened to her, but all I prayed for was that she wasn't beyond saving.Asher was with me and in no time Adrian joined us too. When the head physician came to give his report, Asher was nowhere to be found."I'm sorry, My King…." The physician said and I stopped him. "If she dies, you die too," I said grumpily."Adrian… Can you do something? Can you save the day?" I requested."I don't know…. I have to see her condition first," Adrian replied."One thing… it seemed that she just gave birth," the physician said."Yeah… that should be it…" I responded as I remembered what Ashley said earlier about Becca and her mother taking her pups. What the heck is going on?R
Ashley's POV The journey was indeed hectic but it was worth it. Even if I died, I needed to know that my pups were taken to their father, even if the truth about their mother would be gone with me. I needed to know why all that I had believed turned out to be lies. I needed to know why my own abandoned me and Regan. I wanted to see the look on his face when he beheld me as stands with his new Luna, Becca.Stanley didn't mind the blood and all. He held me in his arms and kept speaking comforting words to me all through the way.He apologized for his misdeeds and told me that Becca left him. He said Becca left him immediately when Prince Regan became the Alpha King. He said it was around the time that I went missing and before everyone knew it, Becca became pregnant by the King.My heart squeezed up in pain and I couldn't bear it anymore. Bitterness and resentment burned inside of me and I ordered Stanley to stop talking. The whole revelation was draining the little strength I had insi
The Moonlight Pack Logan's POVIt was a full moon and my wolf wanted to come out, but I was not in the mood. I sat down on my patio, resting.Tonight, all I could think about was Ashley, my ex-girlfriend. Something about the night made me remember her and that brought the case of Ashley Oscar to my mind. Well, she ditched everyone and no one knew of her whereabouts. It's been almost a year and was still missing.Memories came and I remembered all that we shared. I remembered Allen too, the time I spent loathing him and the short time we spent as friends. May his innocent soul rest in peace.I remained there thinking about a series of past events when one of my guards sought to speak with me. He whispered into my ears and my eyes widened.Stanley? Ashley Oscar's ex-mate? What the heck is he doing here? He was the last person I wanted to see. Whatever it was, I didn't turn him away. I allowed him into my presence but treated me like the thrash that he was."What the heck is this?" I gl
A Few Months LaterAshley's POV The pain of abandonment hit me like a typhoon and I loathed in pain and resentment until I couldn't anymore. My Stepmom treated me as she deemed fit. Sometimes she acted so nice and all and sometimes she was like a demon. Although I didn't know what was going on with Becca, she never showed up again. I knew that my Stepmom's mood swings had something to do with whatever was going on with her daughter.When it was time, I had my pups. They were a pair of identical twins. The process was excruciating and I almost lost my life. The wolfsbane interfered with the delivery and until every single one of it was cleaned up, I couldn't bring forth my pups.In the end, I realized that no one really cared. I was all alone and it was the scary truth. Two days after I had my pups, they were taken away from me and I understood my Stepmom's game. She let live to take my pups for her daughter. Does that mean that Becca's seduction of Regan succeeded? I couldn't beli
Regan's POVI was losing my mind and I knew it. I had joined the guards and tore down unfamiliar paths in Colleen looking for Ashley, but there was no sign of her. I even went to see the Dowager, but she knew nothing about her disappearance. It was becoming easy to assume that if Ashly was still alive, she left of her own accord and did not want to be found. But she was carrying my pup, she wouldn't do that.Adrian had visited on different occasions but he came with the same testimony. He couldn't find her nor connect to her. His explanation was simple. He said she was possibly being held by someone with higher supernatural abilities than him. He also suggested that she could be confined with wolfsbane or possibly dead. The last statement almost cost him his head.I was unstable and didn't fit in as a King. Ashley's disappearance was a colossal loss, it affected everything about me. Although I occupied the throne and I was officially the King, it was my right-hand man, Asher, who mad
Regan's POVWaking up at dawn, I realised that I slept all through the night. It was unusual, I wasn't a heavy sleeper and with Ashley's disappearance, my sleep had been lighter.The most alarming thing was that I slept naked. As if that wasn't enough, I felt something soft in my arms, it felt like the body of a woman. What the heck! What have I done? Ashley was still missing.The memory of the previous night came in flashes. I remembered the hotness and the uncontrollable urge for sex. But I didn't call the girls. Who the heck is this? I asked as I flipped on the lamp.The dim room came alive and I saw the woman cuddled up and naked on my bed. It was Becca, Ashley's sister. My body vibrated in rage as I remembered partially, all that I did to her. I mistook her for Ashley! Oh my God! How the heck did she get in here? She even used drugs on me to make me have sex with her. I was sure of it. What I felt the previous night wasn't natural.unable to control my anger, I flung her off the
Regan POV"We will find her," Adrian and Asher assured me for the umpteenth time, but I wasn't convinced. Yeah, Ashley was stubborn and bent in her own ways. But I saw the look in her eyes when I told her to go to my chambers. I saw the remorse in her eyes which tells me that She would want to please me first even if it meant she would defy my orders the next hundred times.I had the guards comb through the palace but she wasn't there. Rossi didn't know either. I had sent messages to her Pack and family, I needed to know if she was with them.Adrian had also tried to look for her. He tried to locate her with his supernatural abilities but he couldn't connect to her. Everyone told me all is fine but I didn't buy it. There was this longing feeling and I just couldn't help but think that something was wrong.I dozed myself with drinks late into the night until Asher came to see me. He took away my drink and berated me."Common Regan, you are the king now. Stop acting indecently…" "The
