CHAPTER 115ALPHA LINCOLN'S POVAs I watched Sean arrive on a horseback, accompanied by our common enemy and the man who kidnapped my mate, I was in shock and disbelief, but my face did not give that away, I kept it stern and cold.I watched as they approached, the tension in the air, increasing and palpable. My expression hardened as I assessed the situation, mind racing with questions and suspicions, wondering what could have promoted my best friend to align with our enemy against me.I felt my sister's presence beside me and could hear her when she muttered, "How could he?", in disbelief. The pain in her voice, visible.As they drew nearer, I still kept my emotions at bay, but one could tell how furious I was, but nevertheless I did not falter. My fist clenched though and my jaw was prepared to confront him."How could you ride in here with them?", I asked Sean coldly as they finally came to a stop, "We have always fought side by side, shared victories and
CHAPTER 116MONTANA'S POVI watched as the whole war started, Lincoln had ordered, shouting, "Shield-wall!"As he shouted that, Lincoln's warriors aligned themselves shoulder to shoulder with their shields raised in front of them as they slightly overlapped those of their neighbors.Each of the warriors held their shield with one hand, using it to cover their body and provide protection to themselves and the others inside. I suppose the other hand, helped their shield as it was also equipped with weapons."Hold," Lincoln said again.Next thing, Luke followed suit as he rallied his warriors and shouted, "Shield-wall!"Luke's warriors responded with a fierce howl on his command and his voice boomed again, "SPEARS", which urged his warriors to prepare their spares, pointing them forward at their opponent.With forceful breaths, they readied themselves just as Lincoln's did too and finally, Luke issued the final command, "ATTACK!"ALPHA LINCOLN'S POV Just as Luke
CHAPTER 117ALPHA LINCOLN'S POVSo, that was Luke's plan all along. He wanted us to be weak, tired for this battle that has lasted now for close to an hour and when our shield wall is shaky and not strong enough to withstand so much force, he unleashes something forcefully.And just as he wanted, it did exactly what he intended to do. Our shield wall was not broken, and his warriors slaughtered mine as they were still trying to get themselves from the impact."QUICK", I shouted, forcing myself up and ignoring the bleeding on my head and arm, this is nothing, "FIGHT! GET YOUR ASSES UP, I COMMAND YOU!", I shouted, wanting to motivate my warriors, fuel them with purpose."WE WILL NOT LET KILL US OR TAKE ANYTHING THAT BELONGS TO US," I said as they started getting up quicker, cheering, howling and agreeing with me."NOW FIGHT BACK!", It came out so cold as we now ran towards our enemies as they ran to us and clashed.The fighting went on and when I noticed the ice
CHAPTER 118MONTANA'S POVI turned around and was immediately engulfed in a tight hug. I immediately hugged him back, I could already tell from his scent. Goddess, how I missed this!I felt and watched his hands tremble as he pulled away from the hug, checking for any injuries, his touch was so gentle and urgent.I could see the pain in his eyes and tiredness, it brought tears to my eyes, "Are you hurt?", he whispered, his voice choking with emotion.I shook my head, tears falling from my face as I clung to him. Leaning in, he pressed a tender kiss to my forehead, I could tell how relieved he was and so was I.Our little moment was interrupted when something slashed my cheeks and Lincoln pushed me out of the way. The knife fell to the ground and because he pushed me out, it was only able to slash my cheeks a bit.I turned to the direction of where the knife came from to see Lola glaring at me.That is why the war was still on. Their king was dead, they should
CHAPTER 119MONTANA'S POV I didn't get to spend much time in the pack, as I also had to get to Luke's pack as soon as possible after I figured out that some criminals will still be there."I will come with you," Lincoln said, getting up immediately after he was treated."That is okay, I need you to rest," I said to him, checking on his wounds and making sure they were properly dressed."I will be restless if I let you go alone," he said, not accepting to let me go without him, "I just got you back, and I am not letting you go alone.""But who will be here for the pack? Give others and all? You need to be here, everything is a bit different now and Sean, I-", That part really hurts a lot, "You need to be here and don't worry, if anything goes wrong, you will be alerted immediately."He still had this worried look on his face, where he was debating whether he should let me go or not."She is right, you, the King has to be here to oversee things after this war,
CHAPTER 120MONTANA'S POV I began gathering essence from the coldest and purest course of ice from within me. I do not know how to explain, but this was something I had learned while in training and this would be the first time I would use it.I was already filled up with anger, rage and justice, I channeled my energy into a shape, manipulating the gathered essence of frost. I was concentrated and had controlled over my powers, it may seem like I was being slow, but I had done this in a matter of seconds before Luke's parents could even take two steps to get to me.Being precise and having a focused intent, I shaped it into a blade-like form which was infused with the biting of cold deep within.The blade took a translucent crystalline appearance, very sharp. I muttered some things within me and imbued the blade with its cutting ability as I enhanced it with more layers of my frost magic.This would make the blade be or remain razor-sharp and be capable of s
CHAPTER 121MONTANA POVThat night, I spent a lot of time with everyone, even my kids and Lincoln. Lincoln and I stayed in each other's arms throughout the whole time and while we slept.I felt so guilty when I told him that Luke had kissed me, and touched me without my consent, "I am deeply sorry, if I could-", I started explaining that I did not want it and stuff like that, thinking he would be mad at me."I just regret not killing him myself, would have ripped out his tongue, give him some torture before sending him to his maker," Lincoln said angrily.His anger was radiating out of him and I had to run his chest, put my hand at his left chest where his heart was to calm him down, "I am okay, I promise, now I am washed up and in your arms, I am very okay.""He did not go too far did he?", Lincoln asked, and I could see the pain in his eyes, like he had failed me, failed to protect me.No! I never want him to think like that even if something bad happens, I
CHAPTER 122ALPHA LINCOLN'S POVIt was now time for Sean to face his trials and to be frankly speaking, I would rather not be here, I did not want to look at him, absolutely nothing.I was not even going to be the one to give him his punishment. One of the elders in the pack was going to do that, not me, my father also could not do it.Seam was dragged out in front of the whole pack and all the while everything happened, I looked away. Even if I were to look at him, it would just be a short glance."This is a hard decision for us because Sean here has killed and saved countless people, even since he was a little boy, his younger age, he had sacrificed a lot, and then he ended up killing for our enemies, going against his family, something none of us here would ever imagine", The elder started as pack members went silent, listening to him speak."Sean here should be executed, but I am not convinced that would be the right choice seeing as he also surrendered, n
CHAPTER 150AUTHOR'S POV "What was all an act?", Zendaya asked him, confused."I do not hate you Zendaya, you are not a monster and I know your kind exists, and that is because I have met one," Alexander informed her."Go on," Zendaya said to him, clearly wanting to know more, "What is his or her name? I want to know if I know the person.""You do not, it was a long time ago, I did not let my dad know they existed because I knew this is what he will do. I love him, but his obsession with winning and being known, being top one of everything makes him more selfish, even to me.," Alexander explained to Zendaya and all of a sudden, started uncuffing her."I am upset though that you were not truthful with me, I do not hate you, I just wish you had told me," he said to her softly as he uncuffed her fully and she hugged him tightly."I am so sorry", her eyes started getting filled up with tears, "I was scared, scared you would fear me or not want me."Alexander unde
CHAPTER 149AUTHOR'S POV Zendaya could see her brother was happy for her, but would he be when he learns that her mate is human?But before telling him, she wanted to see Alexander, just In case, Zane would not let her if he finds out her mate is human, and she would not know when she would be able to come out and meet with him, "Before I say more, I need to ask for a favor. If you do this for me, I will forgive you totally for your betrayal.""I do not like the sound of this," Zane said, eyeing his sister suspiciously."Can't you just do this one thing for me? Do I really have to beg you to- just never mind", Zendaya said, her happy face changing, "Just forget it, I guess I can't ask you for anything.""Stop, you can, you know you can, but it better not be risky", Zane sighed, falling for her trap with love, "Fine tell me.">>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Zane had agreed, and now Zendaya was on her way to Alexander's house. She was going to surprise him, she j
CHAPTER 148AUTHOR'S POV "I want to see how red you are," Alexander said, but the way he said it sounded so sexy that Zendaya had to bite her lips and hummed.She was a werewolf, these things happen, even if she is just seventeen, but she is turning eighteen and is totally normal for her to meet and be with her mate."Fine, you better don't tease me more. I bet you are even blushing more than me," she said to him as she agreed, and they switched to video call."Hey!", he said and Zendaya just looked away shyly while blushing."Hi," she said softly."Have I told you how cute you are?", Alexander asked her, a smile lingering on his lips. There was just this way he looked at her, adored her, paid attention to her and what she said."As a matter of fact, yes mister, you have," Zendaya answered a bit more confidently than before."You are cute," He said it again, enjoying her reaction, the way her eyes lit up softly, and she smiled. He just loved the way he could
CHAPTER 147AUTHOR'S POVZendaya blinked softly and wiped off the tears that rolled down her face, "Yes," she said in a whisper."Good, that settles it", Lincoln concluded, ending the chapter of the whole argument there."Zen-", Zane tried to reach out for her, but she moved away from him."Don't, I hope you are happy, you are never punished," She said and then excused herself, before leaving the dining room."Zendaya?", Zane called out to her, but she ignored him and went up to her room.He sighed and sat back down. He didn't mean for it to come out this way? He just-he did not even know how to explain why he decided to tell their parents."Don't worry, just give her sometime, she will come around," Montana said to Zane, but Zane was sure that Zendaya was upset and disappointed in her, just by the look of pain in her eyes.In Zendaya's room, she locked the door and stayed inside, crying, she wiped her face but still, the tears kept flowing profusely, "They ju
CHAPTER 146AUTHOR'S POV Zane had a straight face all along as he said to his sister, "Watch me.""Zane please", Zendaya grabbed his arm, softly, stopping him and pleading, "please don't tell them, I already apologized for scaring you or making you worry."Her eyes pleaded too, this was the first time she had done something like this, plus she did not want anyone finding out about anything for now."Just got to bed", Zane sighed and left."Aish", Zendaya hissed and ruffled her hair. She was really hoping and praying her brother doesn't tell their parents tomorrow.Throughout the night, it was a bit hard for Zendaya to sleep. She kept thinking and thinking about Alexander and the kiss they shared, Goddess, her brain, and body were on fire.She had informed him when she had gotten home though, they did not talk about the kiss but just short talks about reaching home, and going to bed, things like that.When Zendaya was finally able to sleep, she slept like
CHAPTER 145AUTHOR'S POV With a silent grace, Alexander moved closer, his gaze fixed on her, "I should just do this, I can't pretend anymore," he said to himself through his mind.He had been holding back his feelings and tonight, she just took his breath away with the way she looked, the fun they had together and everything. She was the one.He just knew it.Alexander reached for her and pulled her softly. With a gentle tug, he pulled her closer, his touching making her shiver a bit through her spine.Zendaya turned, startled at the sudden contact, only to find herself face to face with Alexander. As she recognized him, her eyes widened, her breath fanning against his, her heart beating.As their lips brushed against each other's in a tantalizing tease, it sent a surge of electricity coursing through Zendaya's body, even Alexander, who seemed to be trying to stay in control. Zendaya sucked in a sharp breath. Soon with trembling hands, they drew closer, thei
CHAPTER 144AUTHOR'S POV Zendaya was taken aback, her brow raised from shock or maybe more of surprise as she turned to the person who made that statement, "Eyes are up here.""Of course, princess", the boy raised his eyes to hers."Thank you for the compliment," Zendaya said politely with a smile and turned to leave.If that was not enough, she still felt him staring at her ass and that did make her very uncomfortable, so she turned again and caught him looking, he did not even try to pretend like he was not.He just smiled and stared at her, their faces meeting each other.She noticed he was accompanied by his friends who acted like he knew nothing about what was happening."Can you stop," Zendaya said."Stop what?", the boy asked, acting ignorant."Stop staring at my ass, you are making me uncomfortable," She replied confidently."Your ass just seemed to get in front of my eyes' princess, I mean no harm", The boy told her, smiling and feeling like he was c
CHAPTER 143AUTHOR'S POV A smile lingered on Zendaya's face as she recalled her conversation with Alexander. Despite the reluctance to part ways, she knew they both had things to attend too.Maybe this was so much harder for her because she would feel the pull of the mate bond more, as she is the werewolf, and he is only a human. Ugh!Rising from the bed, Zendaya headed towards the bathroom. She turned on the soothing rush of water.She undressed, got in and let the warmth of the water cascade all over her. She took her time to cleanse herself both, physically and mentally, while thinking about the plans she had for the day.When she finished, she turned off the water and stepped out of the shower where she reached for a soft towel and gently dried her curls.She ran her fingers through her damp locks, proud of the feel and look.With her hair now dry, she did what was necessary, feeling refreshed as she selected her attire for the day, going for something th
CHAPTER 142MONTANA'S POV"My Lord," Quinn said as he also bowed at Lincoln, "It's an honor."Lincoln just kept staring at Quinn, not saying a word, until the whole room was quiet and tense. Typical Lincoln, we all know he can get overprotective of Victoria sometimes."She is my baby sister", he finally uttered.Quinn nodded, obviously aware of that."I don't joke with her," Lincoln said again, "She is now yours and I hope you both treat each other well but if she gets hurt-."Now I intervened, "Baby!", I whispered and held his hand, "You are going to scare him!""Exactly what I want, for him to be scared," Lincoln told me but through our mind link, "He definitely should be terrified.""I promise I will take care of her, I have searched for her, I love her and will protect her, always, even through bad or good times," Quinn said confidently.Lincoln looked at him from toe to head one last time before he relaxed and said, "Welcome to the family, please join us
