DIANA'S POV When I thought about how difficult this was getting, I couldn't help but to smile bitterly and just wish the whole process would end."I don't understand you, Witch Queen, why do you need so much from me, I just need herbs from you." "Herbs? Really? Do you not know that we know what is wrong with you and we have seen it even before you came in?"I couldn't argue with them and I decided that this could only explain why they knew I was a Queen and not just any ordinary female wolf seeking for a child.Ordinary wolves would not go so far looking for a child after all, their lives were so easy to live but I still did not want to live that kind of life.This was one of the reasons why I was with Lucian, because I wanted to live a wild and exciting life, one I would be proud of all the days of my life.But this was not the kind of excitement I was expecting, it was a little related to the wild I thought I would have, though.Now, I somehow wished that his father was still aliv
ALANA'S POVI was having the best time of my life and I loved it.Every day seemed to be better than the last, and Titan was all that I ever asked for in a mate and I was getting it.Not only was he so sweet and generous with his love, he was also the best at helping me out in any way I needed help.The pack members had also accepted me and grown to love me as much as I was loving them too.I loved this place in totality, the sweet aroma of food and the sweet scent from leaves that filled my nose every time was something to die for.Everyday I made love to Titan, I felt like the Queen that I was and the Queen he always called me.Even the way my name rolled out his tongue alone was enough to make me fall in love with him over and over again.Again, I wish that I had met him before I met the good for nothing Lucian that I met.All my life, I had never seen someone as nice as he was, not even my dad or Caleb who was always there for me.Although I feel that I had not given Caleb enough
ALANA'S POVI decided to stop thinking about them since it was too early in the morning, and I needed to go look for Titan.I had slept so early the night before since he did not come around and I did not know if he slept in my bed at all.I miss him too much and I rolled through the night, thinking about him and dreaming about him.It was really sad not to see him in my bed this morning, cuddling me up and trying to push me to sleep more peacefully as he does every morning.I love him so much and I also had more cravings for sex with him recently, that I had to tell him.His reaction was so natural and funny that it made me fall more in love with him and I was shy with the way he looked at me.When I told him how I was feeling and even bent my head a little as if to show modesty in my speech, he laughed out heartily.I hit him on the chest telling him to stop making fun of me and asked him if I had just made a fool of myself but he kept on laughing before he stopped and put on a very
ALANA'S POVMy father was a strong man and he had taken down a lot of our enemies with himself then, making us win that battle.Unfortunately, he got stabbed from behind and that led to his own downfall, along with a lot of injuries he had gotten during the fight. He was celebrated when his dead body was brought back to the pack house but that did not bring him back.I loved my father so much and I missed him, so I made a promise to myself that if I could, I would ensure I stop any war from happening wherever I was.And I was doing my best with it already, at least I did a little with stopping Lucian from fighting any other pack around us.There were other ways this could be settled, very amicably amongst the wolf packs without killing one another but they never agreed.This was because some of the packs could pretend to have agreed and come to lay ambush on other packs unknowingly to them.So they always decided that once there was a fight, the only way out was war and they always w
ALANA'S POVI remember the day Titan was telling me about his experience with his dad and the terrible things his dad did to him.He shed a few tears and even tried to hide it but I saw it and did my best to make him feel better even though I noticed he was over it already.I asked him how it was possible for him to forgive his father after all he did to him, and he only asked me a question in return."What good will not forgiving him do to me, whether he was dead or alive?"I thought about it then and decided that it would just be the best thing to do if I let Diana and Lucian out of my head and heart forever even though it seemed like an almost impossible thing to be done.There was no day that would go past without me thinking of them or having thoughts that were related to them and I couldn't help but feel bad when I had them.He told me how angry he was at that time though, he had destroyed a lot of things and killed a lot of people when his mother died.Even though they had not
ALANA'S POVHe immediately knew why I had reacted that way but still decided to ask me why to confirm his fears."Is that your former pack?" "Yes" I said with tears rolling down my cheeks, it was so painful that I would still have to think about those evil people."Don't worry, Alana darling, you don't need to worry about them at all.""Why?" I said, giving him a concerned look because I did not understand what he was saying and why he was talking in that manner."Because you would not be going with us to the warfront, all you need to do is stay here and take care of yourself" he said and I shook my head vehemently.I started pleading with him, telling him that they could not go on this war without me and I did not think it was good to go for the war at all but he would not have any of it.Never for once had I seen my Titan this rigid about any decision he was going to make and I was amazed and pained at the same time.He was always very sweet and obeyed almost everything I told him
TITAN'S POV I saw how her eyes rolled and I just knew what my answer was going to be when I asked her the question.It meant that we were going to fight the members of her former pack and I somehow did not want to care too much about the repercussions.There were supposed to be no repercussions in fact because it was as though we were going to war with any other pack.They were threatening to see the end of us and make us their slaves and we were not going to have any of that happen to us.I wondered just how bad Alana would be feeling at the moment but I decided against letting my feelings come in at the time.She might even think I did not love her enough or I had suddenly changed towards her but it was not that way.At this time, not even my mother would change my mind from going to war with those who were consistently threatening us even though it was not to our faces and I even loved Alana more than I loved my mother.Now, I was going to break the promise I made to her that I wo
DIANA'S POV Very soon I would be pregnant and all I hoped for was going to come to pass.Lucian would love me much more now that I was able to have children for him and everyone who had lost respect for me will have to give it back.I would have gotten pregnant before now but I did not know why I was delayed till this time.It was great now as I met the witches already and they were ever willing to help me out in my problems but I couldn't get Lucian to sleep with me.I had drunk every potion they gave me and it was not going to work if Lucian did not sleep with me.He also had just two days to sleep with me and he was busy preparing for war.The disturbing part of it was that he did not pay any attention to me recently, he did not even come to sleep in the room we now shared.He was sleeping somewhere else and I could only imagine what life would be like for me if he was cheating on me with someone else.Because why would he not even pay any attention to me? Why had he suddenly chan
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
