Octavia PovThe guards just showed Lillian, Asher and I to the conference room and it’s big enough to contain plenty of people. We want to discuss the pack issues so every pack Beta’s are here and they were staring at me. I was standing in front of them with my arms crossed. Right now I just want to lay my head on Silver chest and cry my eyes out at the pressure I am facing right now. I am just so tired, but I can’t complain or break down. I know Marcus will like it if I do.“I have called you here to discuss pack issues,” I said. “Why should we listen to you?” one of them said. I sighed, I honestly do not have the energy for this. I am in a bad mood and Lila has gone silent and I am also pissed at everybody and everything. This wouldn’t have happened if they listened to me, but they didn’t.“Why shouldn’t you listen to me?” I asked, crossing my arms. “You are just a woman and where I come from, she wolves are made to sit where they are told and breed for their mates,” he said. “I s
Marcus PovI smirked, looking at how Kane was beating up Silver. He was all bloody and naked and I can’t even see any skin on his body. Kane has whipped him, cut him, scarred him in different parts of his body in just hours on getting here. When Bellona sees him, he is going to have so many scars that even she will be so disgusted at. But what is making me puzzled is that no matter how Kane beats him, he is not making a sound. He has not even groaned or hissed out, he is just taking all the hits with no sounds. He seems lost in thoughts. The only person making the sound was Kane, and I am wondering why he is not hissing out or groaning in pain. “Kane, that is enough,” I said, sitting in front of them. He stopped and turned to me, all bloody, breathing out heavily. I look at Silver. I have always wanted him to be in this position, all tied up. He acts so high and mighty, now look at him.“How are you doing, Silver?” I asked, folding my arms. He ignored me, just looking blankly at the w
Octavia PovIt was the next day, and we were around 4 in the morning. Asher and I are about to visit my old friend. Her name is Misha, and she is a witch. She is ancient and she no longer stays in sight. I don’t know how easy it will be to see her, but I will find her. Misha knows everything, and she sees everything and I know she knows I am coming, but she will not make me find her easily. That is just how she is.“So this friend of yours, how did you know her?” he asked. We were walking in the woods. Everywhere was dark and silent.“I helped her many years ago, so she owes me a favor. Now it’s time to return the favor,” I said. “How did you help her?” he asked. “Well, her ancestors are cursed, they have all been cursed for generations. When they get to a certain age, they age fast and lose their abilities. Some go dark and cause chaos and the only way to stop the curse is if a pure wolf will take the curse on themselves temporarily and not a lot of wolves can do that and they can’t
Octavia Pov"Hey mate,” Silver said, a beautiful smile on his face. Why the hell is Misha doing this? So she wants us to fight these two people who look like Silver and Lillian. And the worst part is that I can feel the mate bond and Lila is awake now mumbling mate. I sighed. Misha is really asking for it. “Asher Lillian is in the mansion sleeping with Zira beside her. These things are fake. They are not real. Whatever you are feeling is not, really,” I said, looking at Silver. And he was smiling at me. My heart pinged as I remembered the last time I saw him. I shook my head, running to him with my sword out. He brought his own sword, blocking my attack. “Mate, it’s me, Silver, ‘’ he said, moving back in shock. I looked at his shocked face and I almost felt guilty. Even Lila was screaming at me. I get rid of the guilt and attack him again, focusing on his neck.“You are not my mate,” I growled, fighting him aggressively. He blocked all my attacks, but one got him. My sword slashed hi
Octavia PovI look at her, shocked, pregnant? How is that possible? I can only get pregnant during the mating season. I laughed.“Come on, Misha, that is impossible,” I said, chuckling. She did not smile or laugh, making me worried.“Stop laughing and pay attention,” she said. I stopped laughing and frowned. When I pay attention to my stomach, I can hear three heartbeats, which are mine, Asher and Misha. I paid more attention and I could hear the faint heartbeat coming from my stomach.“You are truly pregnant,” Asher said, shocked. I shook my head in denial. I can’t be pregnant. Not this time. And how is it possible that I am pregnant?“Misha, I can’t be pregnant, not at this time. This pup will be in so many dangers and how is it possible I am pregnant,” I cried out. “You are Moon Goddess’ daughter, which means you are very productive,” she said. This makes little sense.“But why didn’t I get pregnant with Kane?” I asked. “Because he was never your mate,” she said. I sighed, rubbing
Octavia PovIt has been one month since we came back from seeing Misha, and some things have changed. Starting with the apartments and palace. We have built over 10 apartment buildings and the warriors are already working on the palace and my job is to dry it up. The pack has gotten here and thankfully no pack was attacked. Some warriors are already packing the loads from packs while the majority have been giving clothes too. Everyone has been peaceful, learning about other packs and their cultures and so far, so good. I have also been training the packs. We are incredibly much so it is hard training that much people plus the girls are also training. I remember when I broke the news that females are also going to train. Everyone wanted to bite my head off, but I controlled them and also commanded them, so now everyone trains. Including the females with pups. I just figured that everyone should train in case there is an attack, they will defend themselves and for the war, all females w
Octavia PovWe are in the afternoon, and the fight is still going on. A lot of pairs have taken their turns, and some pairs fought with no one leaving the circle, those I just have to declare a tie. Many people have massive injuries, one girl almost lost a limb, but they quickly took her to the hospital, so she will be fine. The pairs fighting now are a male and female and so far the female is winning.“Luna, there is a commotion in the border” I was mind-linked. Commotion? The seal is already blocking us out, and we protect the border from allowing any type of wolf to enter it. So what sort of commotion? I quickly teleported to the border and, funnily enough, I was seeing wolves by the border with my warriors attacking them, but they didn’t seem to fight back.“Stop,” I said, walking to them. They all stopped fighting and my warriors moved back. I look at the unfamiliar wolves.“Who is your leader, and what are you doing here?” I asked. “My name is Jack, Luna, and I am the gamma of a
Octavia PovIt has been 3 days since Silver came back, and he has not woken up. I am not that worried because the doctor said he is perfectly fine, and it is just left for him to wake up. I continued training the pack and visit him when I am done with pack duties. In the night, I stayed with him in his ward. Not much has been happening and since he has been back I have been thinking, should I tell him about the pup? I get he is my mate, but I am still finding his escape very weird. I can’t help but think Marcus has possessed him or something. If he wakes up, I am going to question him. “Luna, he is awake,” a mind link from the doctor. I teleport from the people I was training to Silver ward. Everybody flinched, including Silver. He never flinches whenever I teleport to him suddenly. I guess those two bastards have terrified him physically and mentally. “Excuse us,” I said, standing in front of Silver. He was smiling at me happily. As everyone left, I ran into his open arms, crying he
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
