Marcus went to visit Hyrene at the pig farm. He knew she would be in a big mess there and he was right. She was doing everything clumsily. The workers there were not happy at all because it was troublesome for them. Marcus had paid them to work over time. When Hyrene ends her day work, they would have to do the bigger part of the work she didn't do and it's like a double work for them. Most of them blamed Selena while the sensible ones blamed Hyrene for annoying the Alpha King of all people. There were arguments between the workers and those that didn't take sides with their Luna were seen as betrayers. "Why did you choose to annoy the Alpha King? It's not as if you don't know how he could be. Thank your stars that you are female, you would have known what real meanness is all about" he said firmly. " Are you here to scold me?" She asked with a sad face. Marcus glared at her. Hyrene started to cry. "I didn't mean to annoy him," she said sniffing. Marcus watched her as she cri
"I'm afraid I'll have to hurt you" he said looking at her reaction but she was calm. Selena's thoughts went straight to their mating bond. That was the only thing she could think of. Since she knew she was the Alpha King's mate, they haven't for once talked about it and it has been over a month now, so she had already prepared herself for the worst. And again, she didn't think he could hurt her more than the more her family could. Selena felt she was fit to be a Queen. She wasn't even educated enough to know anything about royalty so she wasn't greedy. She just wanted to be happy. "I don't understand, your Highness" she said with a calm look even though she was really sad and scared of what the Alpha King wanted to say. "The call I received this morning was to tell me that someone is coming to your pack to come see me....." He paused. Lot of thought was running through Selena's mind but she just nodded at him to continue. Dylan was feeling reluctant to explain to her. In the pa
He didn't know why she decided to give up when she knew that she would be the one to benefit the most if she refused to let go. She would be able to have her freedom and live a life of luxury with him but she was willing to give it up. There must definitely be a big reason but Dylan couldn't fix it. "You don't need to feel pity for me," she said vivaciously. Deep down her heart, she wished she could be selfish for once but she thought of the good things Dylan has done for her since he came, she didn't want to repay him by being selfish. Dylan remembered his father. He knew his father was going to go into rage if he found out that he rejected his mate because of Andrea. It would be so bad. "Even if I want to, I can't," he said. "Why?" Selena frowned. She was ready to give up and he was still rejecting her. "My father," he said. Selena didn't know why his father was a thing to consider here. She didn't expect that Dylan would be one to listen to his father. "Your father?" She
Dylan was smiling at how happy she was. With her happiness, he deduced that she must be planning something but he didn't ask her. He knew that whatever she was planning would be to save herself and not hurt others. She was just too innocent. "But it would give you a lot of stress," he added. " Don't worry. I wasn't expecting to strengthen her on a platter of gold before. I'm ready for anything," she replied. That's the key to her freedom and she was willing to pay the price no matter what it took from her. The Alpha King made her taste freedom and she wasn't willing to go into bondage again. After the Alpha King returned to his pack, she was already prepared to go rogue. That would be far better than what she would have here, after tasting how sweet freedom is. "What's your second wish?" He asked her. Selena looked at him and then back to her fingers. She was wriggling them together. Dylan saw her hesitation and wondered what she wanted. "If you don't say it, there's no way I
He was also feeling the heat of touching their mate. Dylan heard Ryan's faint call and he broke the kiss slowly. The kiss was more than he bargained for. He didn't even remove the hand he placed round her waist nor did he stop looking at her. Looking into her eyes, what he saw in it was pure lust and it took all his will power not to smash his mouth back on hers and continued the kiss. "How does it feel?" He asked with a ragged breath. This woman in his arms wasn't just beautiful, she was equally sweet. His body wanted more but his brain was screaming no! So was his wolf warning him. Selena smiled and looked at the lips that were just on hers. The very soft lips that tasted so divine. "So good," she said in a low voice. She didn't trust her voice to be steady if she wanted to speak louder. Her heart was still beating so fast. "So good that I wish I could just be selfish for once" she added in her mind. Her gaze was fixed on Dylan's lips. She licked her tender lips and swallow
He didn't want to shout but the pain in his chest increased and it became unbearable. He groaned loudly. Marcus couldn't help but wonder what was happening to him at first. He was fine earlier but now it was as if his chest was going to shred into pieces. But in a few seconds he knew exactly what was wrong. It was when he fell to the ground that Hyrene, who was asleep, woke up. She didn't know what was happening so she looked around. It was then she heard groanings and saw that it was her husband. She quickly got down from the bed and ran to him. She held him. "Marcus," she called. Marcus's eyes were tightly closed and she could see that he was in serious pain. "Marcus, what is going on with you?" she asked in fear. She has never seen him in so much pain. She was trying to carry him up but the man was a large man, her strength can't. Not too long, the pain on his chest ease and Marcus breathed heavily with sweat clothing on his forehead. "I'm fine now," he said, pulling himsel
Hyrene, seeing that he ignored her, was very angry. She felt Marcus was being unfair. She was suffering because of Selena yet, he would bring her to their room. "Farell ran to Selena's room, he knocked for some time but none opened the door. Then he noticed that she wasn't even there. He looked for her at possible and impossible places but he couldn't find her anywhere. He was careful not to alarm anyone about what was happening to the Alpha. Some even thought he was looking for her to run late errands. Then a thought came to his heart. "If she's not anywhere, there's only one place she could be. The Alpha King's room" he said to himself. Without a second thought, he started to run to the Alpha King's room but then he remembered the Alpha King's warnings, so he turned back and went to his Beta's room instead. "Beta" he knocked. His voice was very impatient. Lucius came out looking at him strangely. He could see the disturbed look on his face. "I hope everything is fine?" He as
" What if it does?" She wouldn't let him be. If Hyrene had known what was happening, she would definitely kill Selena with her bare hands the following morning. " Then I'm sorry he has no other choice but to endure it" he shrugs. Hyrene frowned at how heartless the Beta was behaving. She thought he was just as heartless as his boss, the Alpha King. Lucius saw the look on her but he didn't even seem to care. "Just make sure he is well hydrated, so that he won't be too weak tomorrow from loss of water." With that Lucius walked out. Hyrene looked at Farell and Farell shrugs. He too was lost in this whole thing. "Alpha what is going on with you?" He asked. Lucius had said that the Alpha knew what was happening to him, so he decided to ask but Marcus didn't reply. His eyes were tightly closed. He was trying to see if there was anything he could do to reduce the pain but no matter how hard he tried, he failed. So he gave up on it and endured the pain till those who were hurting hi
" Dylan, you have to return home," Luka said to him. Now he was looking really good. Although he hasn't recovered because his wolf was still weak. Dylan had taken it upon himself to take good care of his brother and he succeeded. And just within a month he was looking so good. After Dylan's wedding, he had left the pack claiming that his brother who was the rightful person to the Alpha King had already arrived. Luka tried to talk him out of it but Dylan was so adamant. "You are supposed to be the king, not me," he said to Luka. "Dylan, I know but then I'm weak. A weak king can't lead. People see you as their deity now. You can't leave the pack stranded. People will take over,"Luka said. Now he's been married for three months and yet he has refused to go back home. He, Selena and Lucius had gone to one of the pack's Dylan had invested in. "Luka it is your responsibility and I won't do it for you" Dylan disagreed. Luka had come to persuade him but he wouldn't bulge. Selena came o
All through their return to the palace, Andrea was looking angrily at Selena. At some point she tried to attack her but the silver chain held her down. Dylan's father was the saddest of them all but none knew. He kept blaming himself for adopting a demon like Andrea. "After everything we've done for you, you still paid us with so much evil" Dylan's mother cried when they were back at the palace. The woman was crying bitterly and seeing the woman crying Andrea also cried. She didn't know that this was going to be the ending of all that she had done. The family had really treated her like their own daughter. Yes she was really bad to them. "I'm sorry" she said crying. Dylan's father glared at Andrea. “If I had known you are such a monster, I wouldn't have adopted you," he said before turning to his wife. “I'm sorry for bringing a demon home," he said as tears strolled down his cheek. No one had ever seen Dylan's father cry but this time he even cried more than everyone. He felt li
"I can't hear you well, '' Dylan said with squinted eyes. His body was already vibrating. Everyone was already scanning the room to see Andrea but they discovered that she had escaped. "When I saw her helping me, I was so happy and I told her that there was no monster in this place, only assassins. I even told her that you were not here because she was the one who called me that you went to Meribaa but all of a sudden she changed and striked me. I was still in shock when she had someone to tie me up. I kept shouting, asking her why she was doing what she did......" Luka paused and sighed. " What did she say?" Dylan's mother asked. " She said she hated to be my mate. She said she only wanted Dylan and she would get him. She said she would make him the Alpha King, that I do not deserve it. I pleaded with that I would make Dylan marry her but she wouldn't listen. I watched her as she removed my clothes, poured a chemical on one of the dead bodies that looked like my statue after clawi
Everyone looked at Selena as she ran to the monster they were trying to pull. Dylan, afraid that she would hurt herself, followed her. "What are you doing?" Dylan asked her. "Wait" she said to him. She moved closer to the monster and touched its damp body. The monster looked at her. It didn't even sneer as a normal monster should do. Selena could feel the dampness of its body and she thought something was not right. "Is there a swamp at Meribaa?" She asked. " Yes, a big one," Dylan replied. Now Selena was beginning to get what was going on. "Give me a hammer" she ordered. Lucius didn't even allow her to land before he sent someone to go get the hammer. He knew if he didn't do that there would not be anyone that would answer her because they thought she was crazy for touching a monster. They were all watching her like she was performing some magic. The hammer came and Selena hit the hammer on the monster. Then a cracking sound came. She hit it again and part of it fell to the gr
Dylan's father was still confused about what was happening. He knew that his son told him that he has no tail but now he has twelve. There were a lot of questions he needed to ask his son. People began to murmur in acknowledgement to what the Alpha King's father was saying. They felt the person who just wasted their time needed to be brought to justice. The elders who were threatened were so scared of talking because they knew that they would be exposed. Andrea, when she heard Dylan's father ask that question, her heart was beating so fast. She knew that she was about to get into trouble. She didn't know how Dylan got twelve tails all of a sudden. She knew that there was a mystery to it. She did not want to think about it because right now, it was saving her life that is more important. "Alpha, it is......" Dylan didn't allow him to talk. " I do not care about whoever told you. I just want to get out of this place" he shunted. He didn't want to expose Andrea to everyone. His eyes
People wondered what those two were saying to each other. They expected Dylan to come out with a frown or a sad face but he looked as calm as ever. Then some people started to doubt if he truly didn't have a wolf. They expected someone who is about to be disgraced and dethroned should be sorrowful. Dylan sat down on his throne and surprisingly he made Selena sit beside him. Selena didn't want to do this but Dylan wouldn't leave her. Frown wasn't only in the eyes of the council of elders but also some people from the pack. They felt that she was not yet the Luna Queen and she was seated in front of them like she was. While some didn't even see it as a big deal. Some even commented that it was Selena's beauty that made the Alpha King fall for her. As usual, elder Zinli was the one who came forward when Dylan was fully seated to start the questioning. "We all know the reason we are all gathered here so I wouldn't beat around the bush" he paused looking at the crowd before he continued.
For two days straight, Dylan was fighting the rogues. The news had spread out that the Alpha King lost his tail so the rogues wanted to see if they could take over the pack. Other packs too were already preparing but they were waiting for the time the Alpha King would step down. They all knew that Dylan was the most powerful king that has ever reigned. Nothing could defeat him, so their thinking was that he just lost his tail. Those rogues that came regretted their very action because Dylan poured out all his anger on them. He wasn't even showing them mercy at all. He made a tent at the bother and waited for those coming to attack his pack. For two days he didn't return to hi6me. All he just did was talk to Selena on the phone. He didn't even talk to his parents. It was Lucius that was talking to his parents. While they were there, he was making plans with Lucius on what pack to go to when he steps down. The rogues have left but Dylan didn't return home. He just didn't want to see t
She got dressed and decided to go back to her room but on her way to her room, she met Andrea. She wasn't looking so happy. She wanted to move closer to Selena but Selena gave her a smile, then pulled out a peach coloured handkerchief and wiped her face. Andrea quickly moved back, glaring at Selena. "I wouldn't kill you doesn't mean I will let you get close to me" Selena said. " Your days will soon be over" Andrea said between gritted teeth. Selena looked at her and walked away without saying anything. She knew she had to be careful in the palace. Dylan at the other end sat on his throne looking at the elders. He didn't acknowledge any. He had intentionally kept them waiting. He didn't even rush to do anything he was doing. Dylan's father was also seated. He also was quite tired of the council. When he saw his son approach he was just praying that he had found a solution to whatever was happening to him. Although in his heart, he knew that his prayers were futile. Even the person
"Continue talking," Dylan said to Farell who nodded. "I have been cleaning my office since I became the Alpha and then I stumbled upon some things," he said and brought out a file from his bag. He handed it to Dylan. Dylan opened the file carefully and in it he saw the letter filled with blood. It was like blood had splashed on it. Selena who was beside him tried to see what was in there and he showed her. She was shocked at what she saw. After she was done reading, she passed the paper to Lucius. Lucius wasn't surprised he just snorted. Then in the file was a recorder and video camera. Dylan played the recorder first and Andrea's voice came out of the recorder. Then followed by Willy's voice. Then after the video. It was the exact video that the elders played. There wasn't even a colour difference. Dylan didn't even know what to say. They just got to know that Andrea was the one who asked Willy to follow Dylan about and Willy captured the scene where Dylan came out in his wolf an
