Few more chapters to go!
Third Person PovIt’s been a few hours since the war happened in the vampire kingdom and they are yet to be back. The time should be around 6 in the morning. Silver and the pups had freshened up, and Lillian cooked for them. They are waiting for Octavia to come back but Silver is itching to tell her about Asher but he can’t because she has to see him herself. She asked of Zira but he told her she was with Axel. He wondered what her reaction would be to Asher, but Silver knew it wouldn’t be good. “Why are you acting weird?” Lillian asked for the 100th time, looking at Silver puzzled. She noticed her brother has been pacing away quite a lot and also stealing glances at her.“I am not,” he replied. “Why are you looking at me weird, then? Is Zira okay?” she asked, looking at him. Silver shook his head, and Lillian cursed herself. She should have just followed them to the war, but Octavia didn’t allow her. She didn’t even allow her near the conference room when they were discussing the w
Third Person PovThe breeze blows gently against the high walls of the werewolf kingdom, the soft rain beating down the earth gently. It was a full moon tonight and everyone was in their homes, cuddled up with their mates and families. The night has been a long night for the people staying close to the palace as their queen has gone into labor since early morning. Everyone is worried and anxious as the queen cries of labor bounced off the palace walls. Werewolves’ births don’t usually take this long, but she has been in labor for more than 12 hours and, as each hour goes by, her screams are becoming more painful and filled with agony. Asher, Lillian and the pups are outside of the ward, and they are all pacing nervously. She has been in labor since and none of the child has come out, when the pain became unbearable for her Misha appeared. It’s like she just knew her struggles and she has been here since, helping her with the childbirth.“Why is it taking so long?” Bellona breathes
Five Years LaterBellona Pov“Hayden!” I yelled, running around the house. I heard soft footsteps running around the dinning.“We do not have time for this. The ball is in a few hours!” I yelled, running around the dinning. I saw Hunter running to the hallway, but before he could move, I froze him. Then I turned around, and I saw Hayden and I also froze him. I breathed out in relief, walking to Hayden and Silver came inside with Dean. “They are not dressed yet?” he asked, shocked. He and Dean left us like 2 hours ago to make sure things were okay in the ballroom. He thought when he came back they would be dressed, but those two are the most energetic pups ever. Archie was not even that troublesome, but these two always make sure to keep me on my toes.“They have been running around since,” I said, carrying Hayden.“I don’t want to celebrate my birthday,” he whined.“Well, you have to. That is why you are a prince,” I said.“No birthdays,” he said, trying to sneak out of my arms.“Hayd
I could see two little girls playing. They shouldn’t be older than 4. “Tag, you’re it!” One of the girls yelled, running. Her friend giggled, running after her. It was a fun day and the girls were still playing until they heard a loud horn, and the girls stopped playing. They know what that means. “Octavia rogues, let’s go to the basement!” The other girl, Samantha, shouted, dragging her friend with her tiny hands. Octavia quickly listened to her friend and started running. The two girls ran. They had to get to the basement fast; if not, something bad might happen to them. A member of their pack who had been looking for them earlier spotted them. “Octavia! Samantha! Run faster! Quickly get into the basement!” The middle-aged man shouted. While the girls were still running, a hand abruptly seized Samantha. “Arg!!! Let me go!” Samantha screamed, kicking her little legs and arms. Octavia turned back. Her best friend was not with her. “Samantha!” she screamed, panicking and worri
14 years later Octavia Pov “Wake up bitch” a voice said, followed by cold icy water on my body. I woke up startled. I looked at who poured me water. It was Samantha. I quickly stood up. “M.mo..morning Luna,” I said, bowing shakily. I don’t want to upset her. “Take your morning to yourself, dirty rag. My clothes need washing. I want you to wash them all with your hands. The washing machine spoils my clothes, and I want them ironed and folded. Do you understand?” She asked, glaring at me. I flinch and shakily nod my head. “Answer me when I talk to you, bitch!” she said, then she dragged my hair and slammed my head on the wall. Then, she kicked me in the ribs and threw me to the concrete floor. “O..o.ka..okay lu..na” I stammered out with tears burning my eyes. You can’t cry out, Octavia; she is going to punish you more. I thought, biting my lips in pain. “Better,” she said and walked past me while deliberately matching my hand with her 6-inch heels. I lay on the floor, cryin
Dylan POV Octavia, my mate that I rejected. Did I feel pity for her? No. Did I feel terrible about taking her best friend as my mate? No. Do I feel guilty about emotionally abusing her and letting pack members treat her like trash? Yes, yes, I do. I had a crush on her when we were younger. She was such an adorable little girl. I remember wishing she would be my mate and the moon goddess granted my wish. Then all the pack members hated her, and all my friends started insulting her. I pitied her at first, but then I started having more fun taunting her. I never raised my hands on her, but I commanded people to. When she didn’t shift, I made fun of her every chance I got. She never said a word. She never made a sound when anybody hit her. She endured it all. Samantha doesn’t know, but anytime Samantha hits her, and she leaves. Octavia looks at Samantha longingly. That is the only person she cares about. As her mate, when I taunt her, she just looks at the ground. She makes no sound, a
Octavia POV It has been an hour since I ran, and I have just been wandering around. I feel lifeless and empty. Why is my life so horrible? What did I do to deserve this? I didn’t kill those people intentionally. My father died, and I was sad about it. I don’t even expect that strange power; It just happened. I was just a kid, but those people maltreated me, abused me, starved me, made me do all their chores, called me names, and laughed at me, and now my best friend and my mate mated. She is not even my best friend. She is my ex-best friend, and he is my ex mate. I laugh humorlessly. No matter what they did to me, I still had hoped he would notice me, and I was ready to forgive if he apologized, but then he got her pregnant. All hope is lost. I have no one to call my own, not even a wolf. My life is so pathetic. I felt salty water on my lips. Then I realized I was crying. I cried more, and I felt so useless and pathetic. I saw a pond. The water is so clear and shining. I entered th
Silver POV“MATE?!” my wolf Shadow screamed. Mate? I have a mate. This shivering and shaking girl is my mate. My wolf Shadow kept on shouting, mate, while moving around in my head.“Will you chill out!!” I yelled.“Mate! mate! mate!” He kept on chanting. I rolled my eyes. He has finally lost it. I look at my mate. I can’t see her face. Her hair is covering it. I moved closer, trying to sniff her again, but she must have thought I wanted to bite her or eat her, so she started shaking more.“Pl…pleas…..” she trailed off and I noticed she stopped talking and moving. She fainted!“One of you quickly put her on my back” I mind-linked my warriors, facing them. “Umm but Alpha, she is a ro…” I cut them off, flashing my canine.“Fucking put her on my back now!” I yelled at them. They flinched.“Okay, Alpha,” Ivan said. He shifted to his human and went behind me. He placed her on my back. I adjusted her very well. I ran to the hospital and mind-linked the head-pack doctor, Doctor Agnes. “Doc

Trigger Warning almost at the end of the chapter!Third Person Pov“Missed me?” he asked, the familiar smirk still on his face. Bellona could not believe her eyes, no she refused to believe what she was seeing. I must be dreaming, she thought, pinching herself hard, hard enough to sting her to the bone, but she was not waking up from the dream. She closed her eyes, hoping they were not playing tricks on her, but when she opened it, he was still standing in front of her.“Asher,” she whispered, her voice filled with shock. The last time she saw him was in the cell and the next thing she heard of him was he was dead. Was he alive all this while? But she noticed another thing. He has changed, his hair is darker and longer. His ears are longer and sharp, he is taller and muscular. What shocked her was the giant black wings behind him. Instead of hands, he had claws and two long and fat horns sitting by the two angles of his head. His aura is also dark, like death, and when she smelled him,
Bellona PovIt has been 6 days since the death of Daniel. After Lillian was done with him, the warriors burnt his body and I think everyone respects Lillian better now. Well, that is the thing about us. To earn respect, you have to prove it and Lillian has proven herself of that respect. I did not tell Silver about his last words because I feel it’s irrelevant. He is already dead, so it’s better everyone move on from the betrayal and I think we all did because nobody is talking about him again. I stand in front of the mirror, looking at myself. The time is 4 ‘0 clock in the evening and we are about to move because we plan on attacking them in the night. Am I happy about this attack? Yes, I am. And why am I happy? Because in a few hours time I am going to kill a certain king and I don’t care how it will affect our kingdoms, he bit more than he can chew so he should expect the consequences.“We are waiting for you,” Silver voice cut me out of my thoughts. “Can you help me with this am
Bellona Pov“Yes, Daniel is a spy working for Malcom,” she said. My mouth hung opened in shock. Daniel? A spy? That can’t be possible.“Misha, are you sure? Daniel has been working for me for a long time,” I said. “He is working for you and also not working for you. He is part of the men that were working for Marcus. His loyalty lies with him,” she said. I tried to think of one time Daniel’s behavior was suspicious, but I can’t even think of one. He always seems like the protective big brother, but he has been betraying me all this while? My mouth opened and closed and no words came out. But I wanted to know something.“He also knew about the kidnapping?” I asked, feeling betrayed.“Yes, part of the people who suggested it,” she said, and my heart broke into pieces. This is the ultimate betrayal. I cared for him and treated him like a brother. I gave him whatever he asked of me, as long as he asked, but how could he betray me like this and he did it so well I didn’t even suspect him
Bellona PovWe entered her hut and took our seats in her special room. She sat in front of us and looked at Silver.“Glad to finally meet you,” she said, bowing a little. We both look at her. She doesn’t know him before. She must have just heard of him. “Glad to meet you too,” Silver said politely. She smiled.“Do you want to see your pups?” she asked. “Yes, we will love to,” I said. “Okay, face the mirror, ‘’ she said. I faced the blank mirror, and she flicked her arm and they appeared in the mirror. I smiled as I looked at the three of them. They are sitting on the bed, playing. They are surrounded by so many toys and they look healthy. I breathe out, relieved. They are perfectly okay and I can’t even see any injury to them.“Told you that picture was fake. They don’t even look like someone kidnapped them. They look so relaxed,” I said, smiling happily.“Your pups have been raining hell on them, especially Archie,” Misha said, and my smile widened. I expected nothing less from the
Bellona PovIt has been three days since I got back and not much has changed but today, however; I am on a mission to find Misha. The seal is enchanted, so if she can help me get the location, that would be awesome. Then I will get my pups and also rain hell on Orion. That plan sounds simple, but I know it’s not. I just hope Misha won’t start with her ridiculous game. I am a pregnant woman, so I hope that will stop her.“You ready?” Silver voice cut me out of my thoughts. I adjusted my gown, would have preferred to wear trousers, but I am bloated so nope.“Yes,” I said, walking out of the closet.“So, will your witch friend find the seal?” he asked. “Yes,” I replied.“How long have you known her for?” he asked, taking something off the wall.“Thousands of years? What is that?” I asked, looking at the iron log he pulled from the wall.“It’s a sword,” he said, bringing it out of the iron case. I looked at the sword, it looks lightweight and small, but the blades are looking incredibly
Bellona PovI chuckled, looking at him.“Me? Why would he want me after I turned him down millions of times and I think we all know I can’t just be tamed,” I said, rolling my eyes.“That is what I thought, until he sent this,” he said, giving me a picture. I looked at it and it was the pups. They were tied up in a chair and three vampires with long canines were beside them. I looked at their faces and it was red and swollen, like they had been crying. They were also bloody like they had been beaten. But something about this picture doesn’t add up. “This is quite interesting,” I said, looking at the picture. I can feel shocked faces on me. I looked at Zira and her eyes were blue, but I knew it is red. Archie can’t be tied up. He has powers and I know he can defend himself. Dean looks beaten and worn out and his eyes look bigger and red in tears, but the Dean I know has smaller eyes and he won’t cry outside no matter what someone does to him. I rolled my eyes, burning the picture.“Why
