**DAMIEN'S POV**
"Mate is in trouble." Cayden said moving around in my head and puffing. Gosh! Can't a man get some rest?
Wait, what! Ciara is in trouble, this is the height of it. I stood up instantly.
"Hudson." I called out while wearing a pair of trousers.
"Yes, Alpha." He replied coming in.
"What is happening?" I asked knowing but i just want to ask.
"An omega stole a Luna's ring or so is what they said." He said.
Stole? Oh c'mon.
After i was done, i went outside to see my mate lying unconsciously on the floor with people surrounding her. My wolf was clawing at me to rip every one's head away from their neck.
Easy man!
I cannot act rashly because of the alliance.
Alliance my foot? Cayden scoffed at me.
"Alliance that will keep your pack safe." I retorted.
........Flashback...........
"Good day, Alpha Damien." Alpha Xander greeted me.
"Good day to you." I replied.
"So i
**NICOLE'S POV**"No way, she should have died." I said, throwing everything that could be found near me away. When my plan was going pretty well, my.... My own blood brother had to do that... He saved her like does he not resent her anymore."Hey, you need to calm down and think carefully, devise more plans." Melissa said, smoking. I inhaled and exhaled."Lora, have you spoken to Damien's wolf yet?" I asked my wolf, Lora."Nope, looks like he does not like us." She said and i sighed.**DAMIEN'S POV**I secretly went to the pack hospital to see my mate. She needed her mate to heal faster and i am not some heartless person so i decided to help. As I entered, I saw just two doctors attending to her. I was enraged."Why is there only two doctors here?" I asked, almost like growling."Miss Nicole gave orders." One of the two said."Get other nurses right now." I ordered.Is this how they treat her. She does not get en
**DAMIEN'S POV**During the entire time she was unconscious, i was not feeling okay. I was not being myself like i felt uncomfortable. I knew what was wrong my mate was in pain so i would feel it indirectly. Even my beta asks me if i was fine, i just made sure i evade it. I went to the hospital secretly at night to stay near her because she will heal faster if i am besides or close to her.I was so elated when i was told she getting discharged the other day. So we will be going back to my pack today. Cayden is so happy to take his mate away from this place that gives her nothing but pain and misery.She rejected her pack, way too courageous for her wolf, cayden was howling happily the moment she did that.Both our wolves have been getting along these days but i... I don't even know how to strike a conversation with her. Urrghh! So bad.I mean my parents do tell me how sweet a scene is when you meet your mate. The male will be like "MATE" and then t
**DAMIEN'S POV**Nicole has been uncontrollable this past few days that she arrived. She kept asking the date for her Luna ceremony and when we are going to get marked. Blah blah blah. Urrghh! So frustrating. She keeps behaving like she is the luna already.I had told my parents about the so called marriage alliance between us......FLASHBACK......"What of your mate?" My dad, Alpha Derrick, asked."I am not going to reject her." I said , almost growling at the thought of rejecting Ciara."So when is the luna ceremony?" He asked."In three months' time." I said and left.*******END OF FLASHBACK*******"You are not marking Nicole." Cayden said in my head."I know, i know." I said tiredly, pinching the bridge of my nose. I am really tired.She has been finding it hard to adapt to the new environment. Most times when we will see each other, she will keep her head bowed and be like "Good day, Alpha Damien", i j
**CIARA'S POV**"Tavia, what the fvck?" I shouted at her. I am now naked right in front of Damien.Damien was also naked."Gosh! He is so huge." My horny wolf, Tavia, said.My body is full of scars, he kept scanning through my body and i could see that he was angry with his eyes changing colors. He went behind a tree and brought some shorts for himself and shirt for me. He wore the shorts and he handed the shirt over to me. He did not say anything, he just left leaving me confused.I sighed. When it was not like we were on speaking terms. The scars always find it way to ruin my day.I stood up and went back to the pack house. I went straight to the kitchen and saw Hudson."Hi." I said as i entered."Hey, Ara." He said calling by the nickname he had sought for me. He even said that it was Damien that said it. I was flustered."I want to train." I said to him. He raised his eyebrows at me."I am not the one to give
**NICOLE'S POV****Two days to the Luna ceremony**"My plan is working out perfectly." I said joyfully to Melissa on the phone."Is it your plan or my plan?" She asked."Yours, mine, anyhow." I said, smiling.So in two days, i will be the official luna of silver moon pack. Gosh! So overwhelming.Knock! Knock! Knock!"Come in." I said."Hey, Melissa, i will chat you up later." I said hanging up the phone.I turned to see Damien walk in and looking so serious. He was also furious though.Why? I don't care."Hi." I said smiling and standing up from the bed."Don't you care about your mate?" He asked suddenly.Why is he so hell bent on this mate of a thing?.I mean we could mark each other and love each other then when we meet our supposed mate, we reject them, so simple."I don't care." I said matter - of - factly."Why?" He asked."Because he did not search for me sin
**NICOLE'S POV****The Luna ceremony day**"Hey." Melissa's voice boomed into my ear as i picked my phone to answer her call."Hi." I simply replied."What happened?" She asked."Nothing, just nervous." I said."Oh, girly." She said behaving like my mum."I am on my way, okay?" She said and cut the call.I so much missed my parents.My brother said he could not come as Eunice was heavily pregnant so i was the only one, but Melissa is coming to help me out anyway.I went shopping to get some new clothes and changed my wardrobe. Even though i had suggested that my soon to be mate, Damien, should go with me instead he gave some flimsy excuse saying he was busy with the pack work. I didn't want to start an argument with him so i let it go."Why am i feeling so restless?" I thought."Lora, what's happening?" I asked but she did not reply."Nicole, i am here." Melissa said as she opened the door.
**CIARA'S POV**A month after the Luna ceremony...The past one month has been really hard. I mean i had to see my mate introducing Nicole as his mate and Luna wheareas i should have been the one. It hurts.Hudson has been helping to kill off boredom but it does little or nothing as i find myself thinking about Damien.Damien told me he won't mate with her, so i was relaxed. Because if he mates with her, i would feel unbearable pain, like several needles being pushed into my skin. But at least, he was merciful.Well for the past weeks i have been practicing with Hudson and sometimes with Damien. I noticed sometimes that he goes easy on me and other times hard..............FLASHBACK..............."I want to practice with her." I heard the voice i had always heard from afar and had always wanted to feel near my ears, whispering things to me, behind me. I turned around in a flash.His voice caused some butterflies to erupt in my
**DAMIEN'S POV**"So tell me about yourself." I told her. She turned to look at me."Well, i go by the name Ciara Acacia Jones, as you know. I am twenty years old and the first child of my parents, my parents are late." She said."Which means there was a second child." I said, kind of a question.She gulped dryly."Yeah, my mum was carrying the child in her womb before she was killed." She said."Who killed her?" I asked."Rouges." She replied.I was surprised that she was not shedding tears. I mean if it were to be other people, they would have filled up a bucket with their tears."Why were your old pack treating you like that?, i mean you were always bowing your head and don't eat with the pack members." I asked because vengeful eyed pack won't just pick on someone unnecessarily.Her eyes begin to glaze with tears, but she kept blinking back the tears."Um... You don't need to answer if you feel uncomfort
~Legend's POV~ I looked at myself in the mirror and smiled in satisfaction. "Things are about to get hot." Gael said and I chuckled. I know he does not like the way I did not tell him anything but I just can't. "Let's get going." I said and we both stepped out of the room. As we walked the corridors of the palace, the maids and guards bowed in greetings. I released a deep breath and wore a stern face. Just as we got to the entrance of the throne room that announcer was about to alert them of my presence buy I raised my hand to shun him. "The Alpha Prince..." He swallowed the rest of the word as I stepped into the room. Everyone turned their heads to towards me. And I stood all and mighty in the middle of the throne hall. My father and I shared this 'make sure what you want to say does not lead to your dethronement' kind of look and I almost snickered at him. "Rest, father." I said through the mind link and he seemed to be taken aback. I looked around to take a good look at th
~Leticia's POV~I stared at him as he zoomed off. Honestly, I was too dumbfounded to talk. Like he literally stakes his claim and I could not do anything. Okay, I agree. I am denying the bond. That is because I don't want to get all too attached to him. Like I notice the way Damien and Ciara always behave. Not to talk of how Leo and Rose do.Nah! I can't do that."So you know him?" Brian's voice came from behind me.Gosh, I have forgotten that he was even here. I turned to him and smiled."I should be the one asking you that question?" I said to him with a glare. He gulped down and looked away."So you were a wolf, like seriously? Wait, am I also your mate?" I asked him to be sure I am not between two guys."No, you are not." He said and my mind calmed down a bit. But wait?"Why?-""I lost my wolf already." He said and my eyebrows furrowed in pity."Hey, don't give me that look of pity. I am only with you because I love you but now that I found that that you are Legend's mate. I gue
~Legend's POV~"Hey, Legend. You can't keep doing this to yourself." Gael's voice said from behind the door. I hissed out and gulped down another bottle of alcohol. It's been a week since my father gave me that stupid options that left me dumbfounded. I could not even think of an escape answer for him. All I did was watch my mate leave from the window of my room. I sniffed in and took another sip. I had locked myself in and refused to attend the court meetings but one thing my dad does not know is that I was drinking. I belched and took another sip. I have missed her so much to the extent that I don't even think I can ever see her again. But why will dad put my life at jeopardy all because of his own mate?!I shook my head and tried to stand up but I slumped back on the floor. I winced slightly and checked my arm. Her bite mark was still there. The place she had bit me one week ago. I would say her teeth is quite sharp to the extent that they left a mark. I tried to get up again but
~Legend's POV~I walked through the corridors as I quietly anticipate her to be there. At least."She does not have a wolf." Ryder's voice said in my head and I halt to a stop."What did you say?" I asked him."I tried trying to connect with her but.. ask what she is." He said and went to rest back. That's how he does. He leaves me to do all the work while he tells me bit by bit, putting me on suspense. I shook my head and walked into my chambers. I opened the lock and went in."Mate!" I called out."Mate!" She mimicked me and I chuckled low key."Tell me why you are being like this towards me?" I asked her."Because you must have mistaken me to be your mate. Like let me tell you, I don't have a wolf and besides I am a witch." She said and just like that I jerked back immediately.Impossible!What kind of shit is this?"You are my mate. I can feel it." Was all I could say to assure her."I don't know what to say because I have a fiance who I love so much and I am not going to give it
~Leticia's POV~I don't understand why my brother insisted on my coming here. I scoffed as I watched them give the honorary speech about the said Alpha king who sat all mighty on his throne and had this forced smile on his face. I need to get out of here.I looked around but my brother was nowhere to be found. I shrugged and walked out from the crowd. I looked around and my legs took me towards the garden. As I was looking around and I bumped into something or rather someone. "Ouch!" I winced as I held my forehead.I looked up at the person who stood before. He has his eyes glued on me like I was some support to his life. "Mate!" He whispered and my eyes went wide open."You say?!" I gasped in shock and moved back a bit to take a proper look at him."You are my mate?" He said more like asking."I don't know what you are talking about and if you may excuse me, I am here to get fresh air and you seem to be blocking it." I said to him and turned away from him. Before I could take anoth
Torn between his duty and heart, Legend Brendon has reached the junction at which he has to tread carefully or else he would lose everything that made him the Alpha King. When he meets his mate, Leticia, she was everything he did not expect her to be. A witch. He must make sure she does not get killed and fight against the roaming shadows that were threatening to destroy his kingdom.• • • Chapter one Chapter One~Legend's POV~"So tell me why you are not excited about your father's birthday?" Gael, my best friend and Beta's son, said and I exhaled deeply."It is not that I am not excited about it. Heck, I am so happy that he is aging fast and I will become the Alpha King but my wolf has been feeling jittery which is making me look stressed than usual." I explained to him and pinched the bridge of my nose. But instead this fool took it as a joke and grinned like a dummy. I snickered at him in annoyance and almost rolled my eyes at him.I can't. As per my father's word, I am the Alph
**A Month Later**"So tell me why I should follow you to the Alpha king's birthday?" Leticia asked for the umpteenth time as she saw across the table with Leo."Because I said you are going with me." He said with his hands on my lap. She rolled her eyes and shrugged."You're going?" He asked."Not like I have a choice." She groaned and I chuckled low-key.Ever since we caught the scoundrel, everything was at peace. I even went to see my parents, well foster parents. They asked for my forgiveness and I just forgave them. Don't want them to be sulking up to me. After that, we also and when I say 'we', I meant Leo and I. We went to see Levi. He had also become the Alpha of his pack and he said that he searched for me all over the place when I went missing and apologized for his inconsistence. I introduced Leo to him as my mate and everything went fine. So tomorrow was the Alpha king's birthday and we were all invited. Well, mostly the Alphas and Lunas."Tomorrow." He said and dragged me
************Rose's POV************So right now, we are in front of the entire pack who has been unable to shift. It was early in the morning. Samantha was still tied down with that spell bound rope."A lot of you think your Luna was the one who caused you to be unable to shift. Well, guess what. It was one of you." My mother yelled."I know you all must be thinking of who I am. I am your Luna's mother and I will not stand and watch you all paint her bad when she is not." She said and they looked at her with awe."Well, I guess you all must know that this lady here is a witch and the one who assisted the person to stop you all from shifting." She continued. My mother kicked her to start talking."The one who came to me for help was none other than Jacksonville." She said."He told me about the fact that he was not satisfied with the new Alpha and that he was the one who supposed to be in the position that he was and we came to an agreement." She explained."Bring Jackson out here."
************Rose's POV************"So after putting such a bold and dramatic front before Leo, you are here sulking?" My mother asked me as she placed the cup of water before me. I grunted and sipped a little."Mom, you don't understand. Ever since I came back, I don't understand a thing at all. Where I was taken to? What they did to me? How I was handled? I know nothing at all. And now the pack is struck with some stupid disease or what should it be called?" I said with a look of sadness."Whosever might have taken you cleared your memory and I will love you to relax so that I make a portion and try to remember some spells to track the witch." She said and went into the room. Well, they now stay in the cave, not actually a cave, but it was built like one. And the environment is serene enough and it is quite conducive especially for them since they wanted to be away from other people."Rose," Leo's voice said in my head, making me jerk."Leo?" I asked."How are you?" He asked and I
