NIXIE’s POV We got up and went outside to another part of the pack house that I knew well now and I wondered where we were going.Obviously, we were going to some place in the area, it would either be a room in the pack house or somewhere around the place.Whatever the case was, it was obvious and plain that we were going to a place where issues would be settled but I still had fears in me a little.What if we were going to a place that I would be disposed of?But at the same time, was it possible for Titan to dispose of his one and only sister? Someone he was in love with already.I did not want to trust the pack elder just one bit but he was my father and won’t he try to do something for his beloved daughter after all these years.All this time he was not with me and I am sure that even though he did not love me as much as he loved my mother, a part of him missed me and genuinely wanted me around him.Now that he wanted me around, and I was here, he would not let go of me just like
ALANA’s POVIt was obvious that I was becoming irritated with all that was going on but I still did my best to keep my cool.Not only was I being as kind as I could, I was also trying my best to avoid any stress in the best way possible because that was all I could do for myself and my baby at this time.My baby was the first one on my mind and I was going to do anything to protect my child, and myself so I would give birth well.For some days now, I feel the baby kicking and my eyes well up with tears of joy. Sometimes I tell Titan and I see how happy he looks as well.One thing was certain and it was that this child was going to be born into a beautiful family, one that loves it so much already.It was just divine to have a partner like this and pack members who could do anything for me, and I was glad that this place was always a place of peace for me.Somehow, all my life here, I tried as much as I could to avoid any form of trouble or stress coming my way because I did not want t
ALANA’s POVI could not say if I was overreacting or overthinking the whole issue but trying to think about the whole thing was certainly making it more annoying to think about.Why were they here in my room so silent and not saying anything! They could only let me stare and do the overthinking while they shut up like nothing was going on here.I had to ask Nixie if she was fine and if nothing was the problem and she said she was but I could hardly believe what she was saying.It was not like she did not look fine but at the same time I could hardly believe that she was fine as well as something had changed about her.There was this way she looked more beautiful and bolder than ever and she looked like someone who could tear a human alive without taking thought about it and that was not the Nixie I know.The Nixie I knew was calm, soft and sweet and could not even hurt a fly. Neither did she ever have the mind or eyes to look or think in that direction so I was confused.Now, I starte
ALANA’s POVMaybe this was why Nixie was all calm and not calm at the same time because she knew she was not at fault.But at the same time she would be feeling so bad and terrible that she was being accused wrongly, especially to those people she loved so much.It was like he was blackmailing her but I did not think the pack elder could stoop so low to do such a thing with the way he was highly respected by everyone.I had only known him for a while but I was already seeing him as everyone else did and it was way more than the way he presented himself.The way he presented himself was the way he was and that is the plain truth about it. He was wise and he lived as one of the wisest men.He would not do such a thing no matter the feelings he had about someone and if he wanted to accuse anyone of doing anything, it meant that he had his facts right.But what facts could he use to stand against the beautiful Nixie? It looked to me like there was absolutely nothing he could do to cage he
ALANA’s POVAnyone it was, I knew that I could hardly take it and it was already setting my heart ablaze and it would only calm down if I got answers to my numerous questions.I was even confused at this point and I had no choice but to bark at the only one I felt I could talk to at this point, Titan.I asked him the only way I could, shouting at him to tell me what was going on and what was wrong with him and us.If it was that they were in a relationship and they just got caught by the pack elder who deemed it fit to inform me immediately, then it was fine.Maybe I was not just supposed to be in love with anyone or have anyone to love me because this was getting more difficult to believe.It was getting very worse and more difficult as time passed that I could not settle down and get someone to love me or someone I could love without having to share with another person.Now, this time around I felt it was great if I stood up and fought them all but I could barely even raise my legs
ALANA’s POV “Something has been going on for a while now that you have not been aware of, Alana and that is what we have come to tell you.” He said and I threw a quick glance to Titan and then to Nixie hoping I would get a reaction from them.But I got nothing but empty gazes and it looked to me like they wanted the pack elder to get done with the talk once and for all so that they would go back to their love relationship.I just could not explain what and why but I just knew that something was off and I did not know what to do to bring the situation under control.Now, I did not want it to be under their own control because they were not handling the matter well at all so I preferred it to be under my own control.How I wish I knew everything already, all of these would not still be happening and I would have gladly packed up my stuff and headed over to another point.At this time around, I promise not to love anyone but to be committed instead to myself and my child, stay with my b
ALANA’s POVEven the pack elder was already suspecting that things were getting out of hand but everyone did not seem to know why I was acting this way.And I felt like it was because they never expected me to speak in the manner I was speaking, or they will be shocked already that I knew there was something between Titan and Nixie.Or on the other hand, they were sincerely not thinking in that direction and I was the only one doing that.If it was the latter then it means that it would be like I had made a fool of myself and I did not want that to ever happen, but I still did not want to lose my mate.Whatever the case might be, I somehow felt inclined to go simply with the former and believe they did not know that I knew what was going on so they were trying to pretend or take things slowly with me.And I could no longer take that because it was gradually sniffing life out of me that I could hardly breathe properly but just breathe heavily like there was a heavy stone on my head for
ALANA’s POV While waiting for my answers to come from above or wherever it chooses to come from, I looked at Titan again.He was now seated in a part of my room, farther to the bed but he could hear everything that was going on.The part he had had to be my favorite part in his own chamber and it was the reading table that had a lot of books on it.There was always a shelf for all royalties to have their books but somehow we hardly ever kept our books there till we got filled with dust.Instead we always preferred to have most of the ones we have read before and loved or the ones we were still reading all together on the table.I admired the way he was looking but it was making me sad at the same time because he looked so unhappy and I felt it was all my fault.Not only could I not even make any attempt to ask him how he was feeling or go over to touch him and pet him as I usually could, I was still confused about what the pack elder had just told me.I knew my eyeballs were looking
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
