Klaus PoVI’ve seen Axel transform more than a thousand times, yet, each transformation always manages to scare and fascinate me. He hunched down on all fours, but his knee didn’t touch the ground. The transformation started from his legs, which were firmly planted into the ground. Sprouts of hair grew on his legs, congealing together to form a brown-blackish fur. And rapidly spread to every part of his body.His bones cracked. Toes and fingers extended into claws. The cracking of his spine was clearly heard all through the pack, as he morphed into a fierce, heinous wolf. His nose grew, eyes grew apart, and mouth morphed into huge, scary fangs. Then came the howl, and everyone gasped in horror and shock. Axel was the Alpha after all. His howls made most wolfs in the pack keel over but a few managed to keep their feet together. Al, Ed, and Aurora were, unsurprisingly, part of the few.Axel’s transformation had barely lasted a couple of seconds. Five seconds before he was hunched on a
Klaus PoV“Being Alpha suits you, doesn’t it?” Axel sneered at me.Few weeks ago, we’d changed position. I was languishing in the cell, while he looked down on me from behind the iron bar. But things have changed.Axel was the one rotting away in the cell, while I addressed him from behind the thick iron bar which I had reinforced to make sure he doesn’t escape. “It sure does,” I grinned, “and being alive suits you. You should be grateful you’re still alive.”“Would you like me to worship you?” anger and hatred dripped from his voice, “to thank you for sparing my life?”“Actually,” I laughed, “I wouldn’t want that. I’m not like you. Just stay right here till the end of your days. A reminder to any Alpha that tries to abuse their powers.”“You bastard,” Axel yelled as I began to walk away, “just kill me now. Kill me now, you rotten bastard.”“Make sure there’s a guard around his cell always,” I told Babel as I walked out of the dungeon, “we can’t risk him escaping.”“Yes, Alpha,” Bab
Axel PoV“At least the bastard knows how to savor his victory,” I groaned as I sat on the pallid floor of the dungeon.The battle flickered through my mind, but I instantly blotted the distasteful memory from my mind. It was embarrassing enough that my beta defeated me, reliving the defeat isn’t on my to-do list.I was not entirely sure which one I preferred, for Klaus to kill me in the ring, or keep me alive to humiliate me. A living warning to Alphas all over the kingdom. At least, death would put an end to the shame. Then again, I needed to be alive to take my revenge.“That bastard,” I groaned in anger. I looked around the dreary dungeon. The walls seemed to close in on me, but I cleared the thought from my head. A squalid place like this was enough to mess with your head, especially for someone like me who never imagined I could be in a place like this.I’d already made a list of people that I was going to lock in dungeons when I eventually won. And the dungeon was certain to be
Klaus PoVJust when I thought I could finally relax and enjoy being Alpha to the pack, spend time with my pregnant wife, and just generally enjoy my life, the moon goddess has dropped another trouble in my laps.I knew it was harsh to refer to Lisa as trouble, but that was the truth. She was the one that set in motion the chain of events that led to the showdown between Axel and I. I’d helped her before, and it almost cost me everything. Lisa came with a lot of baggage. There was the prophecy riding on her back, and there was Maximo relentlessly searching for her. And I do not want to make Maximo my enemy. That would be the dumbest move ever. I became Alpha two days ago, and I’m thrusting my pack into the hands of a powerful megalomaniac.Every ounce of logic in my body screamed at me to send her back to wherever she came, conscious or unconscious. It was the only way to stay out of the Maximo’s crosshairs. Which was a terrible place to be. It was the only to keep my pack safe.Then
Klaus PoVGood thing I paid attention a couple of times that Aurora was nursing injured people. She was not the pack’s nurse, but she was the next best thing to the nurse, and people often came to her when the pack’s nurse was busy of had her hands filled. I made sure she was safely tucked in bed before I locked myself in the study room. Having her come in unannounced defeats the entire purpose of stashing Lisa in the study. I made sure I packed in all the supplies I’d need, and then I got to work.The first thing I did was feed her chrysanthemum tea. A tea made from the chrysanthemum flower. The flower only grows under the moonlight and is special to wolves as it helps accelerates our healing. Two tea cups of chrysanthemum tea and Lisa’s color was already returning back to her. Her pale skin began to tan until it regained its original blushed color. Then I went to work on her face. An ointment with a silky smell returned her lips to its original size.I dabbed a cloth soaked in hot
Lisa PoV“You’ll suffer,” Maximo’s voice resounded in my head.His voice, as always, reeked of hatred and anger. The hatred in his voice clearly reflected in his eyes as he came into view. His veins popped off his body and pulsated as anger flared through him. His eyes slid between that of a wolf’s and that of a man. It was terrifying and unnerving.I didn’t understand. I thought I got away. I thought I ran away from his deathly grip and fled into the forest. How did I end up back there? It has to be an illusion. I would rather die than go back there. I wouldn’t go back. How?“You think you can get away from me, huh?” he sneered as though he’d read my mind, “you think you can escape your fate?”Fear and dread simmered within me, filtering through every part of me until I was shaking with fear. Goosebumps grew and sprouted, and the hair on my body all seemed to become erect all at once. It was unimaginable that I would end up there. I couldn’t believe it. I’d almost lost my life runnin
Lisa PoVWhile I ate, Klaus told me all about Klaus’s tyranny and paranoia which led to the showdown that made Klaus defeat him and oust him as the Alpha.“That’s incredible,” I exclaimed, “so Axel is locked away in a cell?”“He certainly is,” Klaus replied with a bright grin. He seemed proud of himself. Now that my stomach was filled up once again, and I’d regained my strength, my gaze kept flickering between Klaus’s bright, dreamy blue eyes and the dick print in his trousers. His erection had softened, which was disappointing, but I was certain I could make him hard once again.“What’s wrong with me?” I murmured beneath my breath.Something was off about me. And I couldn’t quite place my finger on it. Ever since I saw Klaus’s erection, I couldn’t quite take my mind off it. In fact, I began to see him in a new light.Klaus had been the only one who truly cared for me. Ever since I was little, he was the only who would smile at me, and make me feel better about myself. I remember th
Aurora PoVIt’s funny how life can send you crashing one down to the deepest pit just when one’s soaring high in the clouds a few seconds ago.A few seconds ago, I was absolutely ecstatic. Klaus was Alpha, which made me the Luna. And while Klaus was already performing his Alpha duties, I was keen on starting my Luna duties. The plan was to go round the pack encouraging the pack and trying to get them to look to a better future. But what type of Luna would I be if I abandoned my husband to tend to the pack. So I’d woken up early to prepare Alpha’s favorite meal. I wanted to serve his food on the dining table so he’d come out to eat, but I knew Klaus might stay locked in that study all day without eating.And I decided to take his food to the study. The door was locked but there was a spare key. I expected to find my husband hunched over the table, neck buried in papers and files. But what did I find instead?Klaus was hunched against a girl, and his lips was locked against hers.A pow
