NIXIE'S POVI woke up in a dark room and I try to scream at the top of my voice but my voice could not evem echo back to me.It meant that I was going to be stuck here for a very long time since no one could see me or hear me from anywhere far.At least if those people who kidnapped me were not really close, I thought I could scream for help somewhere else.I was in a very bad position, tied by my hands and legs so that there was absolutely no means of escape for me.Somehow I was feeling comfortable with where I was and it just felt so familiar that I wanted to be at ease, but I just couldn’t.Suddenly the lights went off and I figured that my fears were true, I was in the pack house and it was already evening so I must have been sleeping for a full day already.I knew the pack house was so huge that evil could go around in one room and the person in the next might not know, but Titan ought to have come for me by now.What if he came for me and he was already captured by the evil eld
NIXIE’s POVI knew that I was so many things, and very weird things in fact, but a wolf? Never! That would be the worst thing ever to be.Maybe this was what my foster parents were trying to tell me when they said I was different from everyone else but I never saw it to be true.Well, I knew I was different but I had never expected this kind of difference in my life at all.Please! I hope it was all a dream that I would wake up from soon, because it was too shocking that I was already finding it difficult to breathe.And what made it worse was that Titan was expecting an answer from me, obviously one that I would never be able to give now, tomorrow or in another world to come.I just wanted to be fine, sane, and taken away from this room, far awwy from anything that could be causing problems for me.“No! I do not believe that I am a wolf, I do not know anything about that. I am just a human being, though I am not entirely normal, but don’t let that confuse you. I am not a wolf” I was
TITAN’s POVI was heading out of the pack house to get some tasks done when I saw one of the eldest and closest pack elders to me, come in with those he walked around with.It was not as though pack elders needed guards because they could do whatever on their own with little or no help, but he was always with guards.Somehow it was not a problem to me at all since he was a respectable elder and I believe that this gave him more respect and support from the pack members so it was just fine.But this morning, it looked as though they came to pick a fight with me because I could not just help but notice that the atmosphere was different.If there was any trouble, it would be best for us to settle it anywhere outside the pack because Alana was still sleeping.She was already getting heavier as the days went by and it made me love her the more so I could not bear it if she was disturbed and anything happened to her.The sweet nurse or doctor, Nixie, had already given me so many instruction
TITAN’s POVHe started by reminding me how close he was to my mother. I started to think he was being affected by old age so he could no longer act well.If he could, he would not be talking like this, because this was highly not related to what was going on in my life. I loved my mother so much when she was still alive and now even after her death, I am so much in love with her but to me, this does not make sense.There were other pressing matters and all he could do or think about was talk about his relationship with my mother.I remember most of the things he was saying and I could only go mute, it has been a long time but the memories are still alive to me.Sometimes I accuse myself of trying so hard to shove the memories down to a point of no return but other times I feel like I really needed to do that.The last time I spoke about it was when I met Alana because my heart was opened up to her and I just wanted to tell her every single thing about me.If possible, I wanted to be
TITAN’s POVWhat attracted me to this pack elder was the art of storytelling he had, he was a great expert in weaving words in ways that made sense to me and I always wanted to listen to him.He was wise and that was why he got my heart even without trying so much to even though I did not first like him at all.Maybe I did, but I was too blinded with jealousy and that he was with my mother, he had everything I did not have so I did not warm up to him at first.He did not have a mate so I thought he was only trying hard to find love for himself with my mother who was obviously neglected by her husband the Alpha.Somehow when I heard about my mother’s death, I was dead curious as to how he must be feeling now that his secret lover was dead.He loved her and I knew that he must have felt so much grieve to see that the person who he loved so much died for someone else that she loved.I wanted to look into his eyes and laugh at him at that time so I would feel better but he went on self ex
TITAN’s POVI almost gave up on asking the pack elder what was going on and I just wanted to leave it to mean that he was playing on my intelligence.It had to be that or something else that I could not explain so I let the sleeping dog lie until he came early this morning to give me the final part of the news I have been waiting for.I was shocked to my bones when he told me that Nixie was a wolf and I did not know how to react because it was absolutely unbelievable.How would she be a wolf? And why would she hide her identity as a wolf?Her lifestyle was obviously in great contradiction because I thought she loved us and all we stood for or it meant that I was only being deceived by her.It meant that she had put in so much to pull put this stunt and I must confess that it was going on well until this pack elder came to tell me.Now I could understand well why he would not tell me what information he needed to clarify and the root of what he was getting to.I wondered why he would e
TITAN’s POVI could not even place my hands on which was most annoying, maybe it was the suspense he was giving me or something else but I became irritated already.All I could even do was stare at him and let him pleasure himself till he was ready to tell me all he wanted to tell me.But I noticed that he was not doing all of these to intentionally spite me as I thought he was doing but rather he was hesitant to tell me because he did not know my reaction.I wondered why because this was not the first time he would be telling me secrets and he knew I had no choice than to accept what the truth is.It was funny to me because I did not know what he wanted to tell me but I waa quite sure that it could not be more worse than all he has told me about in the past.“You don’t understand me yet, Titan, do you?” He said and beckoned to his guards to leave the room.It was only at that point that I knew he was being serious about what he was saying and I sat well in my seat to listen to what h
TITAN’s POVI already thought that I had heard more than enough but what I did not know was that there was still more to be heard because he already knew too much.“I know how things has been between you and Nixie and it is my fault that things are still this way”“What do you mean that it is your fault? How is any of these your business? How? Tell me, would you?” I was already raising my voice at him because I just could not understand anything that was happening and it was like he would not tell me.It was like he was intentionally trying to get me deeply involved in the story but at the same time he was preventing me from knowing anything.The only sane thing I knew he had said since that I could still work with was that Nixie was a wolf and I did not know if I should believe that now or not.Well I felt it would best to believe it because he already knew the things that I never expected anyone else to know.It was funny and not funny at the same time because I had not even had th
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
