Lance's pov Winter arrived earlier this year and it was only an obstacle in my Orfilia. Her father, Beta Jaden accompanied me in this search with his team. He too wanted to find his daughter and bring her back safely. Why did they let her go in the first place? I don't know in what situation she would have been. Did she reach the tribal village or not? There were many doubts that rang in my head but my heart won't answer any. My wolf was agitated since my mate had left the pack, somehow, I felt that she was in danger."We walked a long journey to the tribal village yet there is no sign of it." Said Jaden, in a husky voice."Is there really a tribal village? If yes, then they have mastered the art of being vigilant." I commented while peeking through every spot."I'm afraid, it is. That woman with Orfilia, what was her name? Yeah! Katana! She is the tribal village's chief leader. Sort of a mentor to her as she polished Orfilia's skills. But something about here seemed too obvious."
Lance’s PovMy entire world shook up when Ivory informed us that it was Oliver who was the Alpha instead of Raymond. But how the fuck did she knew that? “What? No! It cannot be possible! I was there, in the pack when it was my mission to kidnap the alpha damien’s daughter and i saw raymond giving all the orders to his men. Oliver was just a pawn to him.” i stated what i saw and believed.“You claimed what you saw but it was a pretentious reality that they faked so well, it actually gave me a mindfuck too… to be honest, I find out in the dungeons when I went to meet mother Aria secretly. It wasn’t like he himself revealed that he is the alpha but Aria spilled it indirectly. She mentioned about a friend coming here to help her when she wanted to escape from the dungeons. She told me that Oliver is her friend’s mate but she never took her name in front of me. During her conversation, she revealed that it was Oliver who actually planned the kidnapping but when he found out that it was me
Lance's povNow that the shelter has been destroyed by Ivory’s fire. I was more concerned about spending the night in the dark. Jaden and I would have managed something but now with a pregnant she-wolf along with us, it would going to be a long night. The journey to the village won't be a piece of cake, since we had been under attack several times since then. It was hard to depict where that village could be. It made sense why nobody was able to find it before, they kept it invisible by enchantments that repelled wrong comers. Or maybe, it was meant to be hidden. That was a long story but currently, but we found a place to spend the night. One by one, Jaden and I were on watch and our sleep schedule was disturbed badly, affecting our wolf abilities. My head was throbbing, so I popped a medicine from the first air box and begin the search at the dawn. Ivory was gentle and nice, from what I saw the kind of her personality, it was quite awkward to be around her back than. Did the incid
Lance's povMeeting Rashak was unexpected and fortunate too. After hearing his side of the story, we learned that the witch had taken Katana's form to remain hidden from the eyes of hunters. Rashak took us into the village so we could stay safe from rogue werewolves. Surely, Oliver had sent his men behind our back to keep their eyes on us but I hope we didn't find that we had reached the village.After a proper rest, we had delicious breakfast and then went to the important part of this journey, discussion of redemption of Moon wolf."I hope my friends had a better rest." Rashak asked us."Yes, we did and thank you so much for your hospitality." Jaden, the elder among us, had his words from the werecheetah."So, shall we discuss?" He took the initiative and we agreed to do it as soon as possible."I want to know a thing, It would be quite offensive to you but it is important for me to know about it." Ivory asked him."Yes, please, continue." He was polite."How did that witch get int
Lance's pov The chimes ringing more than the highest peak of the mountains, the wind is screaming more than the banshee hiding in the deepest forest. The sun was rising above the highest wave and the icebergs were floating above the air. The crystal white snow was more sparkling than the brightest diamond present in the world, yet everything had no comparison in front of the goddess who just woke up from her sleep.The moon goddess appeared to be in our favour as she kept showing us the signs of the victory but nothing could be concluded till the last moment.Another entry in the team and we were ready to explode. Rella, not exactly as a witch but somehow found an element to shower it on her enemies. Our strength was building and we felt more confident in our abilities.Rella suggested we have a look into her mother's room, maybe she meant that witchyroom but we found it locked when we went to open it."That's strange!!! It cannot be locked! Yesterday, it was unlocked because I went
Lance's pov After we entered the room, we were sent to another dimension like Rashak had informed us about earlier. The violet sky was covered with the conflicted clouds, shaking and roaring the sound of the thunder. It was a different space and it felt alienated to be in here. My mate has been here for a while and it broke my heart to feel what she had felt while being captured by that witch. No wonder that woman's evilness had no limit.We went inside a little further and suddenly, a few creatures came crawling to us. Glad that we had our weapons in our hands and one by one, we smashed those creatures in no time.However, it was just the beginning. Like a true leader, the command came in my hand and I realised how difficult it would be for an Alpha to save his pack when it got under attack.My mind and my hands were working in coordination since I required both. Creatures of different shapes and bulir came running to us."Boys, who wants to have some fun?" Rashak asked from everyon
Orfilia's povThe night turns dark and mystifying; the moon is sheltered by the looming clouds. The cold breeze is flying past us, and the silence of the night is calming to the core. The dense fog covers the entire place of the mystical dimension they kept me and I was waiting to be rescued by my mate. Although, it was pointless to think that way. I wasn't a good mate and that's why I ended up here.The world seems to rotate around me like my mind is spinning inside the skull and my eyes are turned upward. The pressure in the veins could explode the blood vessels in my temples, anytime. I guess, lack of blood supply caused my brain to think stupendously. I opened my eyes slowly and waited for the vision to adjust in this dark room. Well, this time I found myself on a floor instead of a bed, after waking up from passing out for a longer time.I realised that I was captured by Oliver and his men while someone who was supposed to be a friend had back stabbed me. A witch, who wanted my s
Orfilia's povThe next thing i knew that Raymind dragged me to the ground floor with my hair in his fist, and i was swept on the floor like a mop. While Katana kept laughing seeing me being dragged like a rag doll across the room. She was pretending to be nice and generous while I was being a foolish person who didn’t saw the veil in her eyes. How did that happened, i still wondered and my head kept throbbing each time I thought about it. It was still a mystery that the village was a dimension like this one or a reality? Was other nice people were good or evil like her?Finally, he let me go and smacked my face in the dirt and I was left to get up, or at least take a breath before theyd ecide to hurt me again. My body shivered in such cold and I wondered how did it get this cold suddenly? Except the huge bonfire near a tall pole, everything was cold as fuck. I was an ice wolf still I was feeling chld as fuck. My bidy shivered due to breezez blowing against me, my bones shuddered insid
I wake up on the bed, drenched in all sweat, in the middle of the night and startled to see unknown surroundings. I gasp in fear and panic rose to my throat. I get up from the bed and rushes to the door to open it and escape from that place immediately. As I run barefoot through the corridors, but only to find out that I was in the infirmary, as I recall the place. I feel air passing into my lungs as I breathe in relief, but it confuses me to the core reasoning why I was in infirmary.Suddenly, I hear random and loud footsteps approaching me and I become alert and turn to look toward the footsteps. I notice a few of the healers and Daphne approaching me. My vision blurs and I feel my throat getting dry with every breath I take. My chest burns and I cough frequently. Something is not right? Why the hell I get in here? As I remember last night, I was partying with Lucian and others.The healer approaches me and helps me to breathe properly, “your majesty! Please come inside. You are wea
Orfilia's pov Once the celebration was over, I went straight to my room and called Lance because We both need to talk about this major decision I was about to take. He observed the anxiety and palpitations so he didn't let it get over and followed me to the room. When we reached, he put my hands in his and pulled me closer. Before I knew, he already had his lips on mine and we both moved in synchronisation. I didn't wanted to interrupt either so I moved with the flow and we both land on the bed, undressed each other and made love to each other. It was the best sex and he made me realise that what a worthy mate he was. I wished I could stay like that but I was lacking time since the noon was over and soon the sun will hide under the sky. "So, what are you thinking now?" Lance asked me. "I am thinking about you, us." I stated. "No! I mean, for future." He added. "Yeah! That's why I called you. I know I might sound childish but I don't want to stay here." I looked with a puppy face
Orfilia's pov The moment I had put the crown on Ivory's head, The crowd in the stadium went berserk. They applauded loudly and nothing seemed better than that, but, When my eyes met with Alpha Damien's, he was sad and upset about my decision. I would take long to make him understand that i never wanted to be the Alpha of this pack. Maybe, if things from the starting were different, I could be the Alpha but my spirit seek something meaningful and adventure. Lady Nymeria would be waiting for me and I had to leave this pack today. "But why? If I wanted to make her an Alpha, I would have asked her." Damien slammed his palms on the glass table, cracking it from the middle. We were in his study and the atmosphere was high and dramatic. "Why not? She is your daughter too and you said you wanted to see your daughter leading this pack, so what makes a difference if It's her, not me!" I stated while looking at him. "She is not you!!" He gritted his teeth. "Still makes no sense to me. If
Orfilia's pov After getting an approval from Alpha Damien, I was sure that I would bring the worthy candidate to be an Alpha of the pack. However, the time limit was short but atleast, I knew what I had to do. When I left the room, I bumped into Ivory and behind her were her daughters in the baby cart. She smiled widely at me. "Orfilia! You seem to be in a hurry. I know you have a coronation today but can you spare a moment for me." She made a request. "Of course, is everything alright?" I got worried when she called me to stay for a while. Even when I had limited time to find a worthy candidate, I couldn't deny her request. She escorted me out from the pack house while her daughters were taken to Alpha Damien's room. I wondered if Ivory was fine because I could read from her face that she wasn't feeling good. Her face was glowing under the warmth of the sun. "You haven't answered me." I asked her. "Yeah! I was occupied with thoughts. I have been awake the entire night. No matt
The night passed with tension lingering within the pack which was under the fog and the mist while they were playing like small children. The moon was bright and confident, however, the appearances might be deceiving. Even if the security had been increased around the boundaries and inside the pack, I was still anxious and palpating under the edge of a knife. I couldn’t sleep with peace as it kept me agitated all night long. The thoughts of becoming the Alpha of this pack was shaking me up. I did agree to Alpha Damien's demand only because I cannot make him feel depressed due to his conditions but this 'Becoming an Alpha' thought was keeping me at bay. I was alone in my room when I heard a knock and saw Lance entering. A smile flashed on his face and I gave him a slight smile too. "What's wrong? You seem worried." He spotted. "I am in a dilemma." I started with a low tone. "What dilemma? Is everything alright? I know that Alpha Damien had talked to you about something serious and e
With the morning dew glory at dawn and wet paws ahead of time, We saw the restricted boundaries of the Crystal moon pack in front of us. I breathed silently and felt secure to see my home, again but this feeling that I couldn't shrug off was eating me up. Since I had heard the news of Alpha Damien's fight for his life, I began believing in keeping the relationships at priority over anything else. I was his biological daughter but I never looked upon him as a father, although he was a father figure to me but he was not my dad. The man beside me raised me was the one I would call my dad. We shifted back into our human form and proceeded to enter the pack's territory. The guards bowed to us and Beta Male interacted with them to gather some information. He informed us that Alpha Damien's health had deteriorated since they had left looking for me. It broke my heart a little but Ivory was shattered. She was going to lose her last family member. "We shouldn't wait anymore." I nodded my
Orfilia's pov The cold air swept over my face but the hot sweat beads on my forehead dripped down to my cheekbones. Despite the lower temperature, the cottage was burning in tension. The surface broke with a loud noise which lingered inside my head. I was standing rooted to the place because the shock I just received was too much to bear. I tried hard not to show how scared i was but those enemies had made up their mind and attacked us. I tripped and fell down but got to save my two wolves protecting me behind my back. "Lance, dad? How did you get here?" I was too stunned to speak. "Leave that for later. We need to save Ivory. Alone, she cannot handle that witch's power and I am afraid she will die. "Let's go and save her.." Rella was excited as hell. They offered me some weapons to kill the creatures creeping form the darkness and we begin fighting them, making our way to Ivory and save her before that Witch would hurt her Rashak with his weapon took down one of them but it wa
Orfilia's povAs the dawn appeared out of the horizon, I watched the first ray of sun falling on the white snow and reflecting the sparkles like a fresh cut diamond. The moment was breathtaking and it made me forget the pain coursing through my body.The wounds haven't healed and the bruises are sore. As i tried to get up along with the surroundings, i realised that i am lying on a cot which is placed outside from a temple. Although, the ceiling was covering me from the morning dew but the chills did got me shudder my spine in shiver.As I tried to get up, I convulsed and threw up at another moment. I was exhausted and helplessly laid down back on the cot. The vision was getting blurred and the sense faded but I heard the faint footsteps approaching me.I wanted to get up and fight if someone was trying to take advantage of me. These past couple of days, bizarre things are happening with me. I can’t even relate if they're real or a mere hallucination, or I was just having an inceptio
Orfilia’s povThe chilling breezes are blowing enormously, and the howling silence of the dead telling their story of the previous battles. The ears are full of silent screams of the people who left behind after the wars.The dense fog is covering the battlefield and the tiny droplets are freezing on the eyelashes. I am feeling anxious and helpless, even when the whole thing is standing with me. It begins the inevitable and there is no turning back to it.The collapsing of the icebergs in the blue ocean reminded me of the collapse world of ours, fascinating and disturbing at the same time. Time had the power to manipulate everything but we, the pawns of destiny, had no control over this time, though we could fight our way to lead a battle or a life, it won’t be enough to control the time in hands. It slips from my hands like dried sand.At the top of the world, everything seemed so tiny and minute, but the same things appeared huge and bulky when we were on the ground, below zero… sho
