Luka's POVDespite Charles and Baba protesting against me joining them at the borders, I still went. Before leaving for the borders, I made sure every wolf warrior was stationed at a post in the pack for safety. I know Draenei made it clear that my pack wasn't what he wanted but that doesn't mean we will believe him totally and relax. He has my mate already, my patience is running out but I was told to wait if I wanted to see her alive. Every minute that I spent waiting makes it feel as if I'm a coward. I kept on hearing the word 'useless' in my head. I'm pathetic, stupid, and a failure. I couldn't protect my mate and now, I can't even go and rescue her.This incident made me question each of my actions since I became an Alpha. I wanted a large pack, I desired it so much that I allowed anyone into the pack. I didn't give a thought to the negative impact that it'll bring on the people. I didn't make necessary plans for having more warriors. I kept on building and building more packhou
Daddy," A little girl squealed with joy. She ran towards her father with her arms wide open. A wide smile that could lit a room was on her as she ran towards her father. Her pink dress flowed right behind her while her hair cascading down to her waist was flying with the air. She was happy. A loud scream of joy came out of the little girl as her dad picked her up and threw her in the air. She laughed loudly, matching the joy of her father. He twirled her around in his arms and kissed her cheeks. He called her princess, and she blushed every time he did. The girl reminded me of myself when I was a child."Did you buy me something, daddy?" She asked with joy. Her father dropped her slowly to the ground and brought out something from his pocket. His palm was closed against it so the little girl couldn't see it. She jumped around, excited to see what it was and when he finally opened his palm, she beamed with joy. Her eyes glistened with pride for her father as she removed the chocolate
Gabriel's POV"The armies are ready, Commander," "We march to death," My right-hand man, Ola, said with so much courage and pride. That is exactly why this army was created, that was exactly why we started. We march and fight to the death. We've been training for more than a decade, in secrets, in jungles, and in open areas, disguising as if we were regular soldiers.Today will be our first march to victory. The fight was in our system, vengeance in our blood and a mamba poison at the tips of our weapons. We've been holding back for as long as I can remember but not today, today, we show who we are without telling our names.We've sworn allegiance to the pain in our hearts and we would fight till the finish line. "Today, we're not just going against the vampire lord, we're going against an entire species and our own people. We will fight till our last breath to save someone who has the power to save us tomorrow. Today, we fight till death, and tomorrow, we go back to the people we
Luka's POVThree days after I passed out from Crystina's excruciating pain, I was at Draenei's empire. I woke up the next morning drenched in my own sweat and vomit. I tried picking myself up but my legs failed me. I was too weak and that means, Crystina must also be very weak. Gabriel reached out to me the next day that we would be moving on Draenei in two days’ time at a particular hour but I have to leave my pack at the same hour to avoid suspicion. It was the perfect plan that I'd been waiting for and instantly I deleted the message from my phone. No one could be trusted anymore. I wouldn't want to be so careless and risk Crystina's life. I joined the warriors where they were training and I acted as if I wasn't in pain or I wasn't nervous. I had to mask my scent instead of giving off scents that'll make me suspicious.For those two nights, I followed them to the borders to search again as if I was looking for Crystina. A night after, I got the location from Gabriel. I asked him f
Paige's POVI was alone in the dungeons right after Crystina was taken away. Tears rolled down my face as I clamped my hands together. Anxiety rolled through me and crashed down in my throat. I bit down on my lips, stopping myself from crying but it wasn't possible. I couldn't handle my emotions anymore. I opened my mouth and the wails that I'd kept hidden surged out of me.I held on to the railing of the cell room where I was kept and I began crying. I wanted to go with Crystina as they carried her out but it wasn't possible. They didn't let me go with her. They said it was better if I stayed behind rather than follow her. They think I would run away, escape while they try to save her but they were wrong, where am I even supposed to run to? Plan to escape didn't even run through my mind for the several hours that I'd been here with Crystina. That was because my mind, and my brain weren't functioning well.I'm not the usual weakling, I'd never had to bow to anybody because my father wa
PAIGE’S POVHours after I entered the truck of the car, I heard Alpha Luka's voice. I took a deep breath and was so close to tears because finally, I was going home. There was no way I could open the trunk from inside so I waited for someone to do the job. It wasn't hot inside because of some space inside it. That made it easier for me to breathe. I knew someone would soon pick up my scent and open the trunk, so why kick? The vehicle suddenly started moving, I peeked out through one of the holes and I saw several feet moving into some other trucks there so I was glad. We were going home, finally, I would see my parents.Thanks to my petite stature, I fitted just right in the truth. I didn't have to worry about my head or my legs. I sat still waiting. It shouldn't take more than three hours for us to get to our pack right? It took more than three hours this time. I was already uncomfortable and finding it hard to breathe but I sat still, knowing there was nothing I could do.When the v
Gabriel's POV"Commander, there's some sort of emergency," I was about to take a bath when Azel came with his sudden announcement. I growled at him. Not now, I was about to wash the blood of my enemies off my skin. I'd recorded victory today, now it's time for me to rest before people come for me for getting my father killed and Draenei as well. I needed that one break between war and conflicts."What sort of emergency is it?""...There was a girl hiding behind one of our trunks, she must have followed us from Draenei territory and she said she's from Alpha Luka's pack. I guess she was kidnapped with their Luna," His voice was shaking.Azel might be the scariest looking guy you have ever met in your entire life but in the real sense, he's the softest at heart. He's a big guy, almost twice my size and that gave his enemies heart attacks even before they attack but one thing is, he doesn't have the heart to take a bad situation. Training him was hard but worth it in the end. "Are you
Crystina's POVSamer and Paige are missing! We returned to the pack two hours ago after searching for both Paige and Samer for two straight hours. When everyone got tired of looking around Draenei territory and how it was getting darker we decided to leave for another day. Luka was of the opinion that they were together or maybe they were already in the pack while we searched so we left.On getting to the pack, we were welcomed by almost everyone. They all wanted to hear about what happened but Luka dismissed the entire excitement and told them he would give feedback by morning. I was even too tired to put a smile on my face for more than five minutes. I said hello to ma'am Syd and Mrs… they were really excited to see me and I could see the tears glistening in their eyes. On getting out of the car and seeing eyes on Paige's parents, I knew something was wrong. They first looked at me with so much hope, but when they realized Paige wasn't with me, her mother broke into tears. What am
