Octavia Pov Silver and I have just finished having our baths and we are heading to the training ground to start my training. “When is the next blood moon?” I asked. “That will be in 1 week and 3 days” he replied. I hum, nodding my head. I can see the pack members looking at us in awe, I am so happy I shifted if not by now that bitch would have been with my mate. “Don’t talk about her, Octavia '' Lila snapped, angrily. I laugh, I guess she doesn’t like that one little wolf that was trying to fight her for her mate. “You guess right I don’t, '' she said, rolling her eyes. I ignore her, watching the pack members greet and wave at Silver and I. I guess things have changed because normally they only greet Silver but now they are getting both of us and smiling at us. We got to the training ground and I can see Asher training some she wolves with Jared. We joined them. “Good morning guys” I greet. Asher and Jared turned to us. “Good morning” they said, smiling widely. I was a little bi
Octavia Pov Right now I stand in the training ground looking at what is in front of me. “Are you guys serious?” I asked, looking at them Helena, Lillian and Jared were there too. “Yes Octavia, now let me explain it to you. You start by carrying these very heavy tires to that end. The tyres have heavy stones inside so it will be more heavy, you need to build up your strength. Then you move onto the next one. You see that rope that is connected to the other big tire. You have to drag it with all your strength, and move it out of your way. The next and final one is that punching bag. It is sand and stones that are inside. We will all throw it at you, you have to avoid it or push it with all your strength, if not it will hit you and it will be incredibly painful. When you hear the whistle start” Silver said, moving back. I feel like crying right now, this looks so extreme and they are not even going easy on me. He blew the whistle. I sighed, moving to the tyre. I breathe out carrying it
Octavia PovI opened my eyes, blinking repeatedly. I sat up, stretching my back. My body was a little bit sore.“You’re awake,” I heard Silver's voice. I looked at him, and he was standing by the bathroom door in his sweatpants. I remembered what happened during the training. I slump back on the bed, breathing out. That hit in the head is probably the most painful thing ever.“How long was I out?” I asked, rubbing my head. He walked to the bed and sat on it. He took my arm in his hand.“You were out for a few hours,” he said, massaging my arms that were aching so badly. I closed my eyes, enjoying the soft massage.“Lila, can’t you heal me?” I asked.“Nope, you don’t have any injury, just sore muscles and I can’t help with that,” she said. I rolled my eyes. Great. Now I have to deal with this pain.“I am sorry,” he said. I look at him and I can feel a pang of guilt in the mate bond and it was also written all over his face. So he didn't feel guilty then? It's now he is feeling guilty.“
Octavia Pov"Someone has been feeding Lillian wolfbane without her knowing. We have to get that wolfbane out of her body because it’s affecting the baby,” she said. I gasp. Who would do such a horrible thing to a pregnant woman?“How do I get it out?” I asked, looking at Lillian as she pushed weakly. Asher was already crying at this point. I felt the pain again and this time it was worse than before. The pain had me falling down on my knees, I gasp holding my chest in pain.“Oh no, Lillian is slowly dying, too. You have to suck out all the blood in her body,” she said.“But that will drain her,” I said, holding my chest.“Yes, it will, but her blood is poisoned. Asher will give her blood since he already marked her, so she will heal faster” she said. I nod my head, standing up. “Everyone get out,” I said, authority lacing my tone. The doctors looked at me, shocked, but listened while Asher fought my command. I look at him as he holds her protectively. How will I stick my canine down h
Octavia PovIt has been two days since the very unfortunate accident. Silver, Asher and Jared have all been staying with her. The three of them are a mess, in fact. Silver is hell bent on looking for the culprit, Jared is hell bent on protecting her and Asher can’t leave her side because he feels so bad that such a thing happened to her without him noticing. Helena and I have been trying to get Asher and Jared out of her ward while I am trying to look for that culprit. I already threatened all the cooks to spill the beans. I used my command on them, but they all had nothing to say, which made me super confused. If all the cooks didn’t do it, then who did? Nothing seems to add up and I am just so confused on who might do it. We all had no clues and we just kind of figured out that Lillian can know who poisoned her. She has been eating a lot, so I can only hope she knows who did it. But currently we are all in the ward. The baby is doing well, and she is also doing well. She now looks
. I turned back, and it was Silver. “Why did you follow me here?” I asked. He came inside the room.“You were not the only one who noticed Lillian's weird reaction to mother, found anything?” he asked. “No,” I said. He breathed out, relieved. “Thank goddess, I can’t imagine her having something to do with this" he said. I laughed. That would be horrible. I wanted to leave the room with Silver, but I was not watching where I was going. There was a hairbrush on the floor and before I knew it I fell, hitting my head on the wood side of the bed. I rub my head.“Are you okay?” Silver asked. I was about to nod, but I got a deep smell of wolfbane. My eyes widened in shock. I stand up and carry the bed up.“What the fuck” I said, shocked. Silver came to my side, and we both looked at the many bottles filled with wolfbane, with plenty of bottles of cologne beside it. “She has really been poisoning Lillian,'' I said, shocked. I looked at Lillian and he looked angry and sad at the same time.
Octavia PovI gasp as he strikes his claws and hit her in the face, scratching her face and bringing out flesh. I stand there shocked as Helena falls on the floor, holding her face in horror. He walked close to her and grabbed her neck, holding it tightly. Helena's skin started changing as he held her tight, blocking her airway.“How dare you try to kill my daughter? Did you forget you were a filthy and lowly rogue when I met you?” he asked, his voice animalistic. I walk to Silver. “Silver, you have to do something,” I said, shaking him. But he stood there not moving while Lillian cried, looking away.“Silver, if Jared kills her, he will hate himself irrespective of what she did. She is his mate,” I said, shaking him to stop Jared from choking her to death, but Silver just stood there, not moving an inch. I sighed. I really hate Helena and I don’t care what happens to her, but Jared cannot be the one to kill his mate. So without thinking, I moved to Jared and snapped his neck. He fell
Octavia PovIt was the next day and also time for the prosecution. Lillian and I are both going to the arena together, as Silver and Asher are already there.“Are you okay?” I asked, softly. She sighed.“Well, even though I hate her for what she did, I don’t really think I can watch her go through all those pains' ' she said. I smiled. That is where she is different. Silver and Jared have an undying loyalty to her and would do anything for her and they don’t mind killing Helena for her, Jared might mind but right now he is more focused on getting rid of someone who is a threat to his daughter and her unborn pup and I know after she dies he is going to regret it.“You’re lucky” I said. She looked at me.“Why?” she asked.“You have a father and brother who care deeply about you,” I replied. She laughed a little.“I guess I do,” she said. We walked to the arena in silence. When we got there, the place was already packed and Silver, Asher and Jared were standing at the podium. Everywhere w
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
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
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
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
