Octavia PovSilver and I are currently heading to the pack conference room I did not know they have. “How is Lillian? I haven’t seen her,” I said.“She is in the hospital. Her pup will soon come out,” he said. I laughed. “You mean she will so give birth?” I asked. “Yeah, that” he said. I laugh more. “You seem nervous,” I said, nudging him. “Well, she is my sister, so it’s normal and I can’t believe I am about to be an uncle,” he said. “Well, soon you will also be a dad,” I said. He smiled. “I want 10 pups” he said, suddenly. I stop in my tracks as my eyes widened. “No way am I going to have 10 pups,” I said, looking at him, shocked. He laughed.“I am just joking,” he said. I continued walking. I know he is not joking, and he actually means it, but I will just ignore him for now. We got to the conference room, and he opened the double doors. We entered inside the big conference room and they were men inside, Asher and Jared being the only people I recognised. They bowed as we en
Octavia PovIt has been 2 days since I came back and I have been so busy gathering the girls together and tutoring them on what is happening. They all seem hesitant, not like they never train. They train but not the type of training that can keep them alive in war, so they have to train hard. Right now I am standing in front of 150 girls from age 16 to 20, but some of them are older and mateless. I look at the girl that purposely pushed me on my first day of training here and she was avoiding eye contact. Oh, how the story has changed. I hold no grudge against her, though.“Okay! We are going to start off easy. Pair yourselves,” I said, standing in front of them. They did as they were told. I walk in between them.“You and your pairs are going to be partners in each training and you are not allowed to switch. I am going to teach you all how to fight like warriors, how to use different weapons of your choosing and how not to die in war!” I yelled. They all flinched. I could feel their
Octavia PovWe are currently in the evening, and it has been a long day. I just finished with the last group and they just left with so many injuries. I guess the next fight was more brutal than the last and I know that some of them won’t be friends after this. Well, that is not my business. I sat on one chair and brought out my bottled water. I gulp everything down in a go; Gosh, I am so hungry; I have eaten nothing since morning and I am quite tired myself. “There you are,” I heard Silver’s voice. I looked up and Silver was walking toward me. He sat down beside me and carried me on his lap, his arms wrapped around my waist. This is exactly what I need after a long day and I haven’t seen him since we parted ways this morning. He has also been busy handling pack matters. “You really did not go easy on those girls. The hospital is packed,” he said, rubbing my back softly. “Well, I think I did. I did not train them. They trained themselves,” I said, resting on him. “Well, you ordere
Octavia PovIt has been one week since Lillian gave birth to Zira and let me tell you that the pup refused to leave me alone. Let’s just say I gave birth to her because she is always crying when I am not carrying her or near her. She is always with me during training, tied behind my back, and she loves it. That pup loves violence because she is always jumping happily and excitedly whenever I am doing anything that contains fighting. It’s just funny how she is more like me in behavior and she is growing so big now. She can sit on her own at just one week old. She looks like a 3-month-old baby and as each day passes she is looking more like Asher and her eyes are becoming more red, but of course nobody can see it except me and Asher. And I don’t mind that she loves following me all around, but Silver and Asher don’t seem too happy about it. Silver wants his mate in the night, and Asher wants to play with his daughter. Lillian doesn’t really care if she is with me. She just sometime
Octavia PovI look at them blankly, not saying a word. They must be thinking, isn’t this the Octavia we used to bully? The Octavia we called names? The Octavia that didn’t dare to talk to them or look them in the eye, the Octavia that can’t say a full sentence without stuttering, the weak and helpless Octavia, the woofless Octavia, weakest omega. I look at all of them, remembering how they whip me, slap me and take their anger on me every day. A child lost a tooth, blamed it on Octavia, a child fell off, Octavia did it. An old pack member died. I killed him. As I look at them, I realize I will never forgive them for what they did and, looking at them, I just want to cut off their little brains. I felt a soft palm on my cheek bringing me out of my thoughts. I looked down, and it was Zira touching my cheeks. She slaps my cheek softly, babbling incoherent words. I smiled. It seemed like someone was worried about me.“Are you okay? I can feel your anger,” Silver mind link. “I am ok
Octavia PovWe were still outside the border, trying to process what we just heard.“You wanna carry that big rock up?” Jared asked, breaking us out of our thoughts. I looked at the rock.“If I carry it up, we are going to see smashed bodies,” I said. “Well, we need to cover that hole over there,” he said, pointing at the hole. I looked at the hole and it was a huge porthole. I sighed, carrying the rock. It was incredibly heavy, but at least it is easier since I am not doing any other thing with my powers. “That is so disgusting,” Lillian said. It was truly disgusting, everything was smashed up together and to think this was innocent human just makes me want to kill Marcus or Logan, whatever his fucking name is. Zira giggled from behind me, jumping happily. “Zira, stop laughing and I didn’t forget what you did to that wolf,” Lillian snapped. I laughed, dropping the rock in the hole and it made a boom sound while dust covered us. I coughed, chasing the dust away. “How powerful are
Octavia Pov“Hello, I am Luna Octavia. Tomorrow, everyone from age 16 to age 21 with no pup will be shown to the training area to train. Anyone else above age 21 that doesn’t have pups, or that has pups and still wish to train, please join,” I said. A set of people raised their head.“Yes?” I asked, pointing at one and he is from Middletown. He looks to be about 16 years old. “By everyone, do you mean male and female?” he asked. “Yes, next,” I said.“Why are we training? Females are not supposed to train?” a girl said. “Well, in this pack you have to train and you also have to go for war,” I said. They all gasp, shocked. I internally rolled my eyes.“But we can’t train,” a lady said, carrying a pup. They all supported her.“How old are you?” I asked.“25 years old,” she replied.“And who is the owner of that pup?” I asked. “She is mine,” she replied. “Good, now what did I say?” I asked. She kept quiet for some time.“You said everyone from age 16 to 21 with no pups is training, a
Octavia PovIt was the next day after my beautiful breakdown, note the sarcasm. I spent the remaining hours of the day sleeping, watching movies and cuddling with Zira. Now it is time to train the new pack members plus the ones I have been training. The pack warriors have handed over to me how many ladies I am training and they are a total of 256 and that is a lot to train. Silver, Asher and Jared are training the guys. When they are all trained, we will join them together. The warriors are already expanding our territory because now we have more members and we need more land. But all I know is that it is going to take a few days or weeks to get the new members into the new routine. Right now I am standing in front of 256 ladies and they are staring at me nervously. I look at all of them and funny enough, I can see Samantha and she is avoiding eye contact. So she wants to fight even with the fact she has a pup. Samantha and I are both 18 years old so she can fight but I won’t ad
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
