Titans POVI ran back to my pack compound and met Alana standing at the gate, her protruded belly in front of her. She saw me coming and she ran up to me, despite all the efforts the guards made to stop her. One rushed and grabbed her to hold her from from moving and it made me infuriated. "Leave her alone, Gabriel," I screamed and he let her go. She ran to me and hugged me tight as she looked up at me with teary eyes. She wanted to ask me something but then paused as she saw Jacob and the other men approach me from behind. She then wiped her tears and stood up straight, not wanting them to see her with tears in her eyes. I didn't know what she wanted to ask of me and I silently prayed it was not about Lucian. Had Caleb told her about all that he knew? Did any of the guards tell her about the stompings and the growls? Even if they did, she wouldn't have had any idea that it was from Lucian. I decided to clear my heads of those thoughts and I made a mental note to ask her about it la
Titans POVI began thinking about all that I was going to say to alpha Grayson as we drove to his place. I knew that he would immediately accept my proposal but my main fear was that Lucian had already gone to him. Although, Lucian didn't have as much resources or power as I did but still, just like Alana had said, Lucian would do anything to win this war against me and have Alana back with him. I was now much more confused than ever and I didn't know what to do or say. Alana now is against me going to war against Lucian since he now knows about her whereabouts. I knew she was afraid of my life but still, I couldn't just step down from the war just like that. I still had to prove that I was greater than him and also teach him a lesson that he would never forget. He just brutally murdered all of the men that I sent just like that without remorse or fear and I definitely could not let that slide by. He had to be taught a lesson. I looked up through the window of our carriage and I cou
Titans POV"Lucian did what?" I half screamed, careful. To mind how I raised my voice since I wasn't in my territory anymore. Alpha Grayson had just told me that Lucian had gone to meet with the witches and I found it hard to believe. The witches were supernaturals that we werewolves were forbidden from meeting. That's why we gave them their own potion of land to stay in so that they would not interfere with any of our werewolf business. Although, they broke that law and still crossed their borders into ours but we still find ways to put them back in place. Witches were known as outcast and even Lucian, no matter how dumb or power lustful he is, knows that. "You do not seem to believe that even when you both are about embarking on a bloody war," alpha Grayson said as he tug his shiny black beard, staring at me with his brow raised. "You do know that you're with his mate, right?""I know that, alpha Grayson," I muttered as I stared directly at him. "And I know that Lucian would want t
Lucian POVI walked out of the infirmary and headed towards the training room where I knew Guerrier, my gamma would be. I was about reaching there when I heard loud hissing come from behind me. I turned and saw black smoke falling from the sky like a whirlwind and landing in front of me. I placed my hands over my eyes to block the sand that was spraying all around from entering into my eyes. The wind and the smoke immediately stopped and someone stepped out of it. It was someone that I never expected to be here. "Queen Zelda?" I muttered as I ran up to her and grabbed her wrist. I had not expected the queen of the witches to visit me today and I definitely did not want anyone to see her with me. I pulled her towards a corner but she stood still, not moving an inch. It was as if she was transfixed to the spot. I then resorted to pleasing. "Please, Queen Zelda, whatever it is that you have to discuss with me, I ask that you allow is take us to a secret place and talk it out. I have no
Titans POV"What say you alpha Titan?" Alpha Grayson asked as he rubbed his beards. "What decision will you make? Do you say yes to my proposal?""As much as I want the death of Alpha Lucian and the destruction of his pack for all that he did to me, I suggest that we handle all of this with caution," I replied, still keeping my eyes on Alpha Grayson. "I suggest we just keep things on hold till we are done making plans for--""Fucking bullshit," Alpha Grayson screamed, spraying spittle on my face. " Lives will be at loss, Alpha Lucian, if you do not make your decision now. Werewolves will die, pups and adults alike. Your Luna too if you do not make your move first." I stared hard at alpha Grayson as he made mention of Amber. All that I was doing was to protect her and that was why I didn't know the decision that I was to make."Listen, Alpha Grayson, I--""We do not have much time anymore, Alpha Lucian," Alpha Grayson said, cutting me short. "I do not know what your reasons are on why
Alana POVI looked around as Jacob swung his hands. The guards were not there and the ones that were weren't plenty. They weren't much anymore. Where had they gone to? "Where are the guards?" I asked and Jacob chuckled. "They are dead, Luna Alana," he said as he immediately went serious. "They are all dead. All killed by your former mate, Alpha Lucian." My eyes widened as I heard what he said. There was no way that could have happened. Lucian had not even come here. If that had happened, Titan would have told me. All that Jacob just said could not be true. But still, the stompings, growls and shouts that I had heard from inside. It was so loud and violent and I knew some werewolves were fighting. When I came to the gate and saw Titan coming back to the pack compound, I had thought that maybe he had gone to fight a rogue. He didn't tell or explain to me what GE had gone there to do so there still was a possibility that he had gone to fight with Lucian. If he had, why didn't he tell
TitansPOVI understood why Alana wanted me not to go to war with my soldiers against Lucian. I understood that she was scared of me getting killed but still, I was the alpha and I had to perform my duties as the alpha. there was no way my pack would be going to war and I would just sit and watch them waste their blood for something I was supposed to lead. If I should even do that, I am not sure Grayson would even want to partner with me anymore. I already had him and the other alphas of the the packs that were in the western coast province and if I should explain to them that I could not go to war with them because my Luna was scared of my death, they would take me as being unserious. I could not let that happen.I took an oath when I became the alpha to lead my pack and to stand by them no matter what and not even the fear of death or the fear of my Luna could make me break that oath.I didn't want to keep on with the discussion that I was having with Alana and I was happy when alpha
Lucian's POVI sent word to my neighboring pack to join forces with me against Alpha Titan and his pack but none of them agreed to stand by me. They all pledged allegiance to Alpha Titan and it made me furious and at the same time laugh. I was furious because they were picking an alpha that was not going to be worth their alliance. He was nowhere near my strength and the only thing that he had that I didn't, was gold. The areas around my pack territory was filled with precious stones and only the gold was what we didn't have. It annoyed me so much that they would actually pick him over me because of that. That only meant that Alpha Titan had gone to all of them asking for help before I did. It meant that he was now scared and desperate and he knew that there was no way he could be able to defeat me without assistance. This was what made me laugh.Alpha Grayson did all of that because he was scared that he was going to lose. He now knew that I had the witches on my side and he thought
Titans POVI stared at the open field in front of me. Vultures screeched above me and some poured down to the field to devour the deer carcass that laid there.Kargo and Jacob stood by my right side, staring at me and speaking in whispers. I did not mind. They could say whatever they wanted. My mind was pretty occupied at the moment.We had moved from the valley of death to the open field a little bit far off north from our pack compound. Jacob and Kargo had pleaded for me to go to the pack compound with them but I refused it. I decided it best to sit here in the pouring rain and think everything that was happening through.What the shaman had said to us still stuck in my head, unable to leave. No matter how hard I had tried to wipe it off my mind, it still stayed. I wanted so much to not believe what he had said but I didn't find a reason not to no matter how hard I tried.I had wanted to ask him who the wolf prints that we had seen belonged to but he disappeared just as fast as he h
Lucian's POVWe marched into the pack compound, waving at the people who had gathered at the gate. The elders too had gathered and they bowed down as I passed by, having the knowing look in their eyes. I knew they were mad at me for my behavior recently. Now that I didn't have any reason to go after Alana again, I made a mental note to speak with the elders later and apologize to them for my behavior. But first, I had to meet with Diana."Where's Diana?" I asked one of the guards that was standing beside my horse. I immediately recognized who I was talking to and rephrased my question. "Where is your Luna?""I do not know, Alpha, Lucian," the guard responded as he bowed down slightly. I tapped his shoulders and gave him the reins of my horse before walking away to look for Diana. I walked over to the infirmary to search for her, thinking that's where she would be since Flora was taking care of her and the baby but I didn't find her there. The whole place was empty. It was then that I
Diana's POVI sat on my bed as hot tears poured from my eyes. Lucian's actions now we're beginning to hurt more than before. I didn't know why he couldn't acknowledge the fact that my daughter and I were more than enough for him. Whenever I asked him why he could not do that, he would always denied it and tell me that he did know that I and his daughter were enough for him. But then if I asked him why he was still going after Alana, he would keep mute.His behavior was beginning to sicken and annoy but it was also beginning to worry me. I didn't know what would happen if he wins Titan in the fight and brings Alana home. If she does get pregnant, Lucian would begin to prioritize her over I and his daughter. She might even give birth to a son which would make matters worse."Arrrrgh," I mumbled as I pulled at my hair. Thinking about everything was draining my energy but I still had not come to any conclusion that would be of help to me. I knew if Alana came back to the pack, she would d
Lucians POV"We went after her but we didn't see her," Titan replied me. "All that we saw were wolf paw prints where she had landed.""I do not fucking believe you, Titan," I said with a growl. I could not believe Titans word. There was no way he did not have Alana with him."I give you my word, Lucian, I am notlyinge," Titan said with a frown. "I am most definitely not with Alana." As Titan said those words, I felt a cold rush over my body. If Alana was not with Titan, where then was she? Had she gone missing? Was she killed? And the wolves paw prints that Titan had seen where she had landed, did that mean that a rival pack had taken her? Or had she been killed by wild wolves? There was no way she could have been killed by wolves as she was a Luna and was powerful enough to bring any wolf to their knees. And if she had been captured by other packs, either I or Titan would have been alerted. If she was not killed and was not taken hostage by other packs, where then was she? As if r
Titans POVI walked into the weapons room and wents straight to the inner room. I picked my battle armor that I had hung on the wall and put it on. I then took Alana's cloth piece and tied it around my sword handle. With a loud sigh, I sheathed my sword and marched outside.Jacob and the twenty warriors were already on their horses and standing by the compound gate, waiting for me. As I walked towards them, I turned to my side and saw Clara and Charlotte standing and watching me as I walked by. I could see the pain in their eyes as they put their gaze on me."What conclusion did you come to after meeting them?" I asked Jacob as I walked up to him."Meeting who?" he asked, handing the reins of my horse to me."Clara and Charlotte," I replied, grabbing the reins. I put my legs on the saddle and pulled myself until the horse with a groan."They blamed themselves for what Nixie did," he said with a croak. "I told them not to. Nixie is a smart grown woman so she knows and understands the c
Alana's POVI stepped out of Johnson's car with my son in my arms and stared at the huge mansion in front of me. The building was so huge and I was confused as to why a man would live in it alone.As if reading my thoughts, Johnson said, "I, my wife, my daughter and my two sons used to live here until they died in an accident.""I'm so sorry," I said as I noticed his sad face.He shrugged and said, "that was four years ago so I'm over it. Still hurts but it's best one takes their mind off somethings because continuously thinking about it can cause more damage than the first pain." As he spoke, I could hear the pain in his voice. He immediately suppressed it and wore a huge smile on his face. "They asked for me to sell the house after they died but I could not," he continued as he closed his car door and locked it with his key. "Couldn't let go of it so I refused to. Now I live in a house with five rooms all alone. Well, at least today will be different," Johnson said, giving me a wa
Lucian's POVI had no trust in Titan and I knew that he would be coming with his army. That was why I decided to come with mine.I walked into my weapons room and began to select my weapons that I would use for the war. I picked up a sword and spear before heading into the armor room.I picked up my armor and stared at the scratches that were on it. I remembered the battle of yesterday and how close I had missed a spear that had been thrown to me. The spear had just missed my side by a hairs breadth but had scratched my armor, giving it a mean mark.I ran my hand over the engraved mark and sighed. I was going to battle again in just under twelve hours. I sighed and placed the worn out armor back on the wall.I then walked over to another that laid on the table and picked it up. It had my packs insignia engraved on it's chest plate and had claw marking by the side.I wore the armor, fully dressed and grabbed my weapons from the table where I had kept them. I then walked over to my helm
Titans POVI sighed as I watched the crow fly away, my letter tied to its feet. I have heard Kargos advice to me but I took the other. He had explained to me why I should let Alana go but I knew not to do that. There was no way I could let Lucian have her after all the evil that he had done to her. There just was no way.His other idea of proposing an Alpha to Alpha battle was good and I decided to go with it. If I was to win, I would have Alana to myself and Lucian would not have any reason to interfere in either I or her affair again. I sighed and stood in front of my room door. The cold wind blew against my face and from the dark clouds that were beginning to gather, I knew that a heavy storm was coming. I looked up at the sky, waiting for Lucian's reply. I knew that there was no way Lucian would deny my request as his pride was too high for that."Has he replied your request?" Jacob asked as he walked up to me. I looked to my side and saw him walking towards me with a small dagg
Alana's POVI woke up to the sound of a beeping monitor. I opened my eyes slowly and looked to my side. I saw a long tube running from a bag hung up on, just like before, a pole was passing the liquid from the bag down into my wrist. I tried to remove it again but my bandaged hand could not do anything.Suddenly, I heard a slight noise.I turned to my side and saw a small stroller standing beside my bed. The stroller shook and a small crying was coming from within. I raised my head slowly and looked inside. A small baby laid within, tossing and turning as it cried.The baby suddenly stopped crying, as if noticing my presence and began to coo happily. I stared at the baby and I didn't know why I felt so inclined towards the baby. I raised my injured hand and touched the side of the baby cheeks. Feeling their skin against mine gave me some kind of peace that I had never felt."You look so beautiful," I said with a smile as I rubbed the baby's cheeks. The baby cooed happily and gave me
