[Tyler’s POV]

It had happened again. Nivera had suddenly disappeared without telling a single soul where she was going to. I felt more annoyed than worried over her whereabouts. I couldn’t stop myself from thinking that she had definitely gone to be with the vampire. Had the night we shared not been of importance to her? Did it mean nothing at all? How was it possible that she still had feelings for the vampire when she was my mate?

I drummed my fingers on the table, thinking deeply. There was a conspiracy going on, and I needed to get the bottom of it all.

“Your highness, your highness,” the Beta called repeatedly, jarring me from my thoughts.

I was a bit shaken and looked up, then remembered a meeting with the elders of the Pack was currently going on.

“Alpha Tyler, did you hear anything we just said?” Beta Steven asked.

“Not really. What exactly did you say? I was preoccupied with more pressing thoughts,” I explained.

The Delta cleared his throat and spoke. “We have come to a concl

    [Nivera’s POV]My eyes opened slowly to the illumination of the morning sunlight and the chirping of birds. I closed my eyes, then opened it again, trying to remember what had happened to me and why I felt so weak. I looked around as I still laid in the soft bed, and that was when I realised I was in a familiar bedroom. Then, I remembered. It was the bedroom that had been decorated specially just for me in Lucien’s mansion.I blinked my eyes again and again to ensure I wasn’t dreaming or imagining things. If I was waking up, it shouldn’t be here. The last thing I could remember was that I had gotten a note from the Alpha and had left the Palace to meet with him. I racked my brain, and soon, all the memories came running to me.I shivered and sat up, filled with fear and anxiety. I remembered it all, and my skin still felt all the attacks I had suffered in just one night. It seemed again like eight wolves were pouncing at me at once and tearing at my skin. I checked my arms and legs, b

    [Tyler’s POV]The words written in the letter seemed to dance before me. I read it again and again, but the more I read, the more shocked I was. Nivera had been kidnapped? Who would dare do such a thing? The worst part was that I couldn’t point a finger at the perpetrator because she had a long line of enemies.I folded the paper and kept it on the table, thinking of how to bring the criminal to book. Just a few minutes ago, the guard I had sent to find her had sent a letter to me, stating that he had found Nivera locked up in a cave by the riverside. Apparently, she had been deceived that I wanted to meet with her outside the palace and once she was outside, she had been attacked and kidnapped by some unknown people. They had left her to die alone in the cave, but thankfully, he had found her and she was presently recuperating at a stated inn, but he promised to bring her back before twenty-four hours was up.“So, that’s how little these people think of me. They had the guts to attem

    [Tyler’s POV]The elders sat impatiently, sighing every now and then and checking their wristwatches to see how soon twenty-four hours would be up. They had barely touched the crackers and orange juice I had been so generous to ask the maids to serve them and were just waiting for the opportunity to speak their minds about how Nivera should never be the Luna even if she does return later on.“Do you think the guard is going to return?” Elder Jackson asked, breaking the silence.“Of course, he’d return. I’m sure he’d rather die than have his family members pay with their lives instead. The real question is if he’d come back with or without the Omega,” the Gamma responded, admiring the nails she had obviously just gotten fixed.I was surprised that after the last time, she still had the guts to speak, but I didn’t say anything.“Alpha Tyler, you never said what would happen about the Luna position if the Omega fails to return,” Beta Steven said, facing me directly.I took a sip of the j

    [Nivera’s POV]Two days had gone by quicker than I had expected. As the makeup artist powdered my face, I stared at my reflection in the mirror, wearing a blank expression. Perhaps, in the whole of history, I was the first person to not be happy about getting married to an Alpha King. Most girls would kill to be in my position, but as for me, I just wanted this nightmare to be over.The stylist adjusted my white gloves, and looked at me with a smile, admiring the work she had done in putting the outfit together.“I have to admit, I wasn’t your biggest fan, but you do have the grace and elegance of a queen,” she said.“It’s all thanks to you,” I said, dryly, with a forced smile.She blushed hard, appearing flattered. “As Luna, you’d have many events to attend and many ceremonies to plan. I’m not sure anyone has told you this yet, but you’d need a different outfit for each occasion. When the time comes, don’t forget to call on me. I’ll be there to dress you up perfectly,” she said.“Don

    [Tyler’s POV]I couldn’t begin to think of a suitable word to define my anger, but I was terribly enraged and could kill someone right at that moment without blinking an eye.“What gave you the effrontery to make such a groundless accusation? Have you no fear of me? If not me, what about my authority? Drag them both immediately to the dungeon where they would spend the next three days regretting their actions before they are executed before the Pack members!” I ordered the guards.“Your highness, we are not making a groundless accusation. Just your presence terrifies us and we only love to pay homage and respect to you. Why would we dare interrupt your wedding if all we wanted to do was lie? Please, believe us,” Delilah said.“Guards, take them away! I really do not have any intention to spill blood on such a sacred day,” I thundered angrily.That was when the Gamma, who seemed to be enjoying what was going on, interrupted. “I know you’re upset right now, your highness, but they are

    [Nivera’s POV]I grovelled before him, wailing in immense sorrow. I couldn’t die just like that. I needed him to change his mind.“Please, Alpha Tyler. Please, spare my life,” I pleaded.He looked at me, with plain disgust written visibly on his face. “Spare your life? For what reason? You lied to me, you deserve nothing but death,” he said in a firm tone, and the people hailed him for that statement.“I didn’t lie to you. Okay, maybe I did, but trust me, I didn’t do it with a bad intention,” I said, as tears dropped from my eyes. “It is true that I did see Lucien, but that was just me bidding him farewell…”“It doesn’t matter if it was the last time you were seeing him. I was worried sick about you and went against my people to ensure you were searched for and brought back here. I thought you had been kidnapped according to that lying guard, Ryle, but you were perfectly safe in the arms of that lowlife called a vampire,” Tyler stated.I shook my head repeatedly, denying his allegatio

    [Lucien’s POV]It was evening, and the sun had begun to set, slowly making the once blue sky turn red. The people were still at the Palace of their Alpha. As for me, I was walking through the empty streets of the Crescent Pack when something caught my attention.I walked towards it, and gave a small smirk. Tyler Jefferson had implemented his words already. It was a notice instructing members of the Pack to report either Celeste or I or even both of us if they came across us. According to the notice, we were great enemies of the Pack and the reward for reporting us was 500 pieces of silver, and the punishment for being associated with either of us was death.I was surprised that he had remembered my face and Celeste’s face very well for him to be able to give a detailed description of us to his painters as sketches of both of us had been placed next to the notice.“Are you Lucien O’Hara by any chance?” a husky voice asked.I looked beside me, and that was when I saw the guard, Ryle, wh

    [Nivera’s POV]I had never felt so alive as I did presently. It was like I had been born all over again, but actually, that wasn’t a lie as I had indeed been reborn. I felt revived, strong and for the first time; free.At Lucien’s house, there were many sachets of blood which he had stored in the refrigerator, and I tore them up one after another, gulping them all down as soon as they touched my lips. They each tasted differently, but still had that ultimate satisfaction that probably only a hybrid could understand. As satisfied as I felt, I wanted more; I yearned for more. It was the only life I knew now after all.I looked at the corner where I had dumped all of the sachets earlier, and saw that I had finished them up.“No, no, no,” I muttered, rummaging through the refrigerator like a lunatic, looking for at least, a drop of blood to satisfy my hunger. I needed it badly.Lucien had said he was going to have a discussion with Celeste and he wasn’t home. He had told me to wait for hi

    [Nivera’s POV]Six months had passed since Tyler had died and our lives had taken a turn for the best. I no longer had nightmares because I knew he was never coming back, and I got to spend the rest of eternity with the only man that had ever shown me love, even when I didn’t deserve it.“You’re deserving of much more than my love,” Lucien said, planting a kiss on my lips as he rested his head on my thighs, as though he could read my thoughts.I smiled, running my fingers through his hair, as my eyes scanned the beach, wondering where the kids were.“Mum, dad, look what we found!” Luca and Lucille chorused, running towards us with their hands full of shells.Lucien sat up, and we both stared at Lucille in disbelief.“Mum? Dad?” Lucien asked, surprised, even though I nudged him not to say anything.She fiddled with her fingers nervously. “Is… is it okay if I call you guys that?” she asked, wide-eyed.“Of course, we’re your parents after all. We’re just… we’re just shocked becauseit’s

    [Lucien’s POV]There was fury evident in my eyes, and even the ever-so courageous Tyler knew he was about to taste my wrath, as I charged towards him with my claws out and fangs bared, ready to tear him limb from limb before my rage could reignite.“Stay away from me,” Tyler barked, and nodded at his people who had been staring the whole time to come to his rescue.“For Alpha Tyler,” his most trusted warrior yelled, but the people looked away.“How many have died? How many more will die? We just managed to start getting our lives back together, but for some reason, our very own dear Alpha wants us to risk our lives for him. Hell no! I have children and I must stay alive to protect them,” the Gamma stated.The crowd murmured in agreement with her statement.“Once I get out of this, each one of you would die in the most painful manner, I promise you that!” Tyler raged.Elder Gaius laughed. “That won’t be possible.

    [Lucien’s POV]It had always bothered me… how people asked who my son bore resemblance to even when Nivera and I walked down the streets together, but the fact that Luca wasn’t biologically my son hadn’t hurt me like the way it did today. It hurt worse to see the smirk on Tyler’s face and he seemed extremely excited. Why wouldn’t he? No matter what I do, he’ll always be Luca’s father.“Careful now, do you think Luca here would forgive you for getting rid of his true father?” I heard Jocelyn’s voice ask, and I looked up to see her holding Luca tightly by his hand.Instantly, I became numb and stopped dealing Tyler with blows, as I staggered towards where he was and ran my hands all over him to make sure he was okay.“What are you doing here, big guy? Are you fine?” I asked him.“Yeah. Mummy followed after you when you left and some ladies came to forcefully take Uncle Ryle and myself,” he explained.Suddenly, I heard footsteps behind me, and before I could turn around, I was injected w

    [Tyler’s POV]It was an open arena, just within the estate. I paced around in full-blown panic. I didn’t mean to, but somehow, I was afraid. The vampire had been the first person to ever win me in a fight, and till date, I could never forget about how he had mercilessly tortured me and had only let me go because of Nivera.A whiff of her scent caught my nose, and I turned around. Malia was standing right behind me, wearing a flowing red dress, with a worried look written on her face.“Greetings, Alpha Tyler,” she said, with a small bow.“What do you want?” I retorted in a low growl.“I just… I just wanted to wish you good luck,” she said.“You’ve done that now. You may go,” I told her.She didn’t leave, but just kept staring at me. “Must you engage in this fight? It’s been several years and we just started having peace. Can’t you just not fight the vampire?” she asked.I knew it came from a place of concern, but I was infuriated by her words. “Why? Do you also think that I won’t be ab

    [Lucien’s POV]I just got off the phone with one of the surgeons and was informed that the date of Celeste’s surgery had been fixed and all the preparations to ensure the surgery was successful had been put in place.A smile spread across my lips as I skipped up the stairs and knocked on her door gently, waiting for her to usher me in. I could perceive that she and Ryle were inside, and unless they were making out or something, they should have answered and opened the door already.“Hello, I know you’re in there. Can I come in?” I asked.What seemed like ages passed, and there was still no response, so I simply just opened the door and walked in.To my surprise, Celeste laid on the bed, looking like a completely different person. No, it wasn’t just the ugly third degree burn scars that still looked hideous despite all the treatments she had undergone, including steadily taking her potions. She looked older, and wrinkles were slowly starting to show on her face, particularly on her for

    [Tyler’s POV]“How is my precious Carl Washington doing today?” Jocelyn asked as she stepped into the study room. I had been expecting her presence after seeing the terrestrial ball she called a portal dancing next to the door.I shrugged. “I’ll never get used to that name,” I said.“It’s okay. I can just call you Tyler if you’re more comfortable with that. It’s not like the authorities are always present to monitor everything we have to say,” she explained, then sat down on a stool beside me and eyed the map I had been working on.A month ago, all the documents had been processed and finalised, and I had been able to move to New Orleans with my family, as well as the other members of the Crescent Pack who had also acquired new identities.The estate I had been able to acquire was more than enough to house the remaining members of our Pack, and slowly, we had been adapting to the human way of life and maintaining our territory.In the near future, we were going to transform more human

    [Nivera’s POV]“Let me fucking go. Do you even know who I am and what I can do? I’m a fucking hybrid, you psychopath,” I said, as the stranger with the familiar hand grabbed my arms and forced me to go with him.“Oh, shut up. You’re nothing without that useless vampire, and guess what? He’s no more. I’ve gotten rid of him, and you’re mine now,” he said.“Bold of you to assume that you can easily get rid of Lucien O’Hara. And I don’t belong to you. I am no one’s property,” I said to him.He pushed me to the ground, making me fall to my knees, so that I now knelt before him, after which he began to drag me by the hair and kick me for no reason. I didn’t know why, but at that point, I was unable to make use of any of my hybrid abilities despite how hard I tried to.“What did you do to me? Why am I so weak? Why can’t I use my abilities?” I asked, trying to break free from whatever was holding me back.Even in the dim light, I could see a smirk appear on his face. “You should stop trying s

    [Tyler’s POV]Meeting with the witch, Celeste, had made me understand how I could save the lives of the people I had left. If the other werewolf communities could find a way to go through my Palace gates, it meant that we were not safe even in the Palace that was expected to be a safe haven.When she spoke about Lucien, the vampire whose face still haunted me in my dreams from time-to-time, I remembered the world I had gone to when I was in search of Nivera. It was a whole different world, beyond the knowledge of any of my werewolf counterparts, and it got me thinking. If I could get my people to that world, they would be safe.Since it appeared that they were mostly humans, nothing was stopping us from migrating there and pretending to be one of them, while we were werewolves in secret. I had no idea on how to go about it, but it seemed to be the only way out for all of us.I couldn’t just let the Crescent Pack go extinct like that. I needed to do something, anything at all, to save

    [Lucien’s POV]I was stroking Luca’s hair as we watched an episode of his favourite cartoon while Nivera made Mac and cheese in the kitchen. All of a sudden, I began to perceive smoke; like something was burning.“Babe, are you on the phone? Check on the food. I think it’s getting burnt,” I yelled from the living room.“The food is all right, but I can also perceive…”“Lucien! Nivera! Help!” It was Ryle’s voice and it came up from his bedroom upstairs. Luca and I exchanged glances and Nivera dashed out of the kitchen, looking as confused as I was.“What’s wrong?” she asked.“I don’t know, but let’s find out,” I said, then told Luca to keep on watching the cartoon while his mum and I went upstairs to see what was going on.The door to Ryle’s room was wide open and the smell of smoke grew even stronger. Words cannot explain the horrid sight I met once we both stepped in, which registered a kind of shock in my brain, and I knew instantly that I would never get over the painful look on Ce
