Noreen’s pov;Two weeks later;“Are you sure about this?” He questioned for the 100th time and I rolled my eyes.I had told the Queen of my plan and she seemed to have thought about it for a while before agreeing. Norman on the other hand, wasn’t so much as keen on it. He kept stating how dangerous it was and that it was better for me to stay back here and let them help me find my son.“I’ve never been more sure about anything. She lied and took advantage of me, i just want to get my son back and this is the surest way.”The Queen nodded,giving me a knowing look. We had gone through the plan severally to access the risk and to see if there was a way for her to doubt me. So far,we both agreed that it was a good plan.I had told her of how she had taken me to see Baby Harold briefly and how I had betrayed them and was assured of really finding him if I keep being on her side.I glanced at them briefly before stepping out to go into the waiting car. Norman had an unmistakable look of lo
Alpha Harold’s pov;I giggled as she planted a kiss on my left cheek. She was my world,my universe. And it wasn’t because she was the only person I had seen in a long time or the fact that she told me that she was carrying my child. My first born child.I hoped it would be a boy, as good looking as me. Although a girl wouldn’t be bad either,and I didn’t care.She had told me stories,lots of stories about my braveness. I couldn’t wait to get better and hold her. I just wanted to be with her everytime,to hold her, to kiss her and to feel her warm body pressed up against mine.“See you later my love,” she said as she turned the door knob. My chest hurt as I watched her retreating figure.I don’t remember anything on my own,but from what she had told me. My name was Harold and I was the Alpha of Blackburn pack and she was my wife. I couldn’t go outside because I was plagued with some kind of disease that could kill me. She had told me everything I needed to know, still I felt like I was m
Noreen’s pov;As soon as I got out of the house, I almost sprinted to the mansion as I walked quickly. It was weird as there was not one single soul in sight, but I was going to go in,I had to. Ian had let me go on the condition that I report everything to him that has been happening at the mansion. I knew instantly that something had happened.From the edge of the trees, I peered at the mansion. First of all, it was surrounded by a ring of guards, which was weird because there weren’t this many guards, but I quickly realized that it was probably the witch’s doing.The huge familiar building in front of me brought back memories. Although it looked nice,it had unpleasant memories for me. It was the beginning of all my troubles. I strode purposefully towards the gate, my heart beating wildly in my chest as I knew what would happen as soon as I got there.“It’s the traitor! Look!” I hadn’t even reached the gate when one of the guards yelled and I swallowed hard as the others turned an
NOREEN'S POV"Strip!"Alpha Ryder Clarkson growled as his darkened gaze wandered my quivering frame.I flinched at his tone and dared not to meet his blazing eyes."Pardon my Alpha!" I dropped to my knees and begged.I had no idea Alpha Ryder was still in the shower when I got into his bathroom to clean up only to come face to face with a naked Alpha.Ryder was the Alpha of our Pack the DarkenVille Pack and he was ruthless and brute at heart. I was an Omega who never had a chance to come here often. Living as an Omega of the Pack all my life made me feel vastly intimidated each time I came here to the alpha's wing of the mansion."I beg for your forgiveness!" I spluttered.Ryder was now in a white bathrobe and his face white from the shower. He came closer to where I knelt in his room and lunged out a blow. He never missed his target.I toppled over to the floor in a loud thud before I picked myself back up again to the kneeling position."I didn't see anything, my Alpha." I added jus
NOREEN'S POVThey caught me before I could run off or hide. They were not going to be merciful, not this time."What the hell is going on here?" Lady Jill came into the scene the second they were about bundling me up.I was beyond scared. For the first time, I was happy to have Lady Jill intrude in my personal affairs."Nothing, it's fine." I let out a nervous laugh, regardless of how badly I wanted her to save me from these snarling men."You can't take her, she has work here to do!" Lady Jill wasn't about saving me but herself.She needed the job to be done on time to save herself from the Alpha's wrath considering the wedding."Well then, pay us," the man with a scorpion tattoo on his neck glowered at her with his hand stretched out at Lady Jill."She got a loan from us and she can't pay it up. We'll take her or you pay us, now!" The burly one said, flex his muscles.Lady Jill's confused expression left their faces to settle on mine."You got a loan?"It was strange and unacceptabl
ALPHA HAROLD'S POV"What an honor to have you here!"Ryder sounded nervous as he welcomed me into his territory. My Gamma and I were here to grace his wedding.Ryder was exuding fear as he trembled before me. These weren't the qualities of a ruler, not before their adversaries.But it was hard for Ryder to gain composure, not with the animalistic power emanating from me and my Gamma.It affected the Commanders of DarkenVille a great deal for we possessed more evolved and higher wolves. I possessed a strong wolf and unmatchable Lycan humanoid abilities."The pleasure's all mine!" I shook hands briskly with him and I walked on the stretched out red carpet leading inside his mansion.DarkenVille and my territory, the Blackburn Pack were like night and day, the difference was clear for all to see. There were no disputes between our territories; it was why I chose to honor his invitation."How long until the wedding ceremony?" I asked, fighting the urge to glance at my wristwatch."Two hou
NOREEN'S POVNight fell and the only hope of light came from the burning candles in the temple.It was quite strange, the orchestra, their melodic music and the sound of the crowd cheering from afar as their Alpha and Luna got married were absent in the air. The night was as quiet as a cold winter night here in DarkenVille.Did Alpha Ryder call off the wedding? Did he recognize our bond at last to not want to wed his blonde bully?I heaved a sigh. The abrasion didn't work out quite well because I was still bound and in no time, it was going to be midnight and those waiting scavengers were going to prey on me.They had fooled me into believing they could smuggle me and a few Omega girls out of the territory. They had fooled us into getting this loan that left me in regret.I had gotten a loan to pay for my freedom from this demeaning pack but things didn't work out as I envisaged. Now I have become prey to the teeth of these loan sharks.My heart and mind were bent on escaping, I didn'
NOREEN'S POV"It's been a great honor having you here to grace our wedding..."These were the words I could make out from the muffled babbles. My eyes lazily flickered open and squinted at the blinding sun ray.Where was I?I tried to sit up but couldn't. It wasn't until I tried did I realize I was held in an iron bars cage. I was trapped.The cage was left by the trunk or a car and there were security guards in black tailored suits guarding my cage.On the porch, I could see Heather in a white velvet dress clinging on to Alpha Ryder's arched arm with a forty-watt smile on her face which was as bright as the huge rock on her finger. They got wedded.All my hopes of being recognized by Alpha Ryder as his mate and Luna came crashing down at the sight of Luna's crown on her blonde head.They looked happy and perfect together as they were lost in some conversation with the young men standing before them with their backs on me.All I could tell about these men was that one of them had hair

Noreen’s pov;The room was white and pristine and unfamiliar, I searched in my memory of I had been here, but I couldn’t t remember, yet, there was something calling me and this place.“Hello,” I called out a my eyes darted around for some kind of clue.It was then that I saw the door and for some reasons, I believed that I had to open the door and I did just that, although I knocked a little as though to seek permission.That was when I saw it, the small light blue Cradle.I ran towards it and sure enough, there was my baby! He looked just as I had remembered with his littke hands which were curled into a small fist.This one right here was a fighter, he was just like his father!His tiny fingers reached out, and he whispered, “Momma…”A sob broke free from my chest as I knelt, reaching toward him. I was so close, just a few steps from holding him in my arms. But as I reached out, his image started to flicker. Shadows crept in, twisting around usSuddenly, the room began to blur and
Noreen’s pov;"I found out who your old man is," she smiled softly as she glanced at me.I furrowed my brows, having no idea what she was driving at."You have even more powers than you think of," she continued and I rolled my eyes.I had nothing anymore. I was just someone trapped in a body I absolutely hate, without a wolf and having to bear the pain of seeing my mate with someone else.I would be fortunate if I lasted long with all the pain I had been feeling in this body."The Lycan’s daughter,"My breath hitched in my throat as my eyes widened. She knew. She had somehow found out."What?" Candace and I glanced at her."I'm not—I'm not a cooper. I'm—I could be the only daughter of the past Lycan alive," I confessed and she squinted her eyes, the confusion evident on her face."You're——""Yes, I found out not long ago."The Queen wasn't saying anything and she sighed as she moved towards the log of wood to sit.We had come out of the house for some air. Norman had left earlier an
Alpha Harold’s pov;You are all dismissed," I said after a long silence.I needed to talk to Norman , but I had to do it privately, not In front of some of the guards who were already seeing me as some sort of dummy Alpha who was being controlled by Noreen.How two weak women could break out of a well guarded cell was something I just couldn’t understand and I needed answers!Someone had let them out! Someone who knew the nooks and crannies of the dungeons.This wasn’t who I was and I had already allowed a lot of bullshits from her because I didn’t want her to feel bad and she was carrying my child again!As soon as the guards all left, I faced him."Where were you yesterday, I couldn't get a hold of you?" I questioned as I looked at the window, shoving my hands into my pocket, my back to him."I was out," he replied casually. He was either a good pretender or he didn't realize I was already Suspecting him."Out where?" I demanded as I spun around to face him."I had to go get some ai
Noreen’s pov;We spun around to see his very familiar face. I furrowed my brows, wondering what he was doing here.Norman!The Alpha’s best friend and Gamma! Had Slpha Harold sent him?"You rescued us?" I asked, confused.I felt my heart flutter at that thought. He probably didn’t want to offend the woman he thought he loved, Noreen, but somehow, he felt something for me and had secretely ordered his Gamma to rescue me.“I did.”All the times I had seen him, he was always nonchalant and indifferent. I remember Alpha Harold telling me that he was actually fun if I get to know him, beneath his very tough exterior. He apparently, considered himself an adventurer of some sort. "Well, I couldn't let any harm befall an innocent person and the Queen. I didn't know what that witch fed the Alpha that could make him imprison his late father’s wife and the woman he loved," he said, shoving his hands into his pocket as he glanced at me, as of to tell me that he knew my real identity.“You kno
Noreen’s pov;It didn't come as a surprise when I was in my room pondering on what the healer had said when some guards barged in and arrested me, on the order of Luna.I did not resist nor complain as I had already expected even worse than that. I had expected her to even feed me poison.I was thrown in a cell, this time,a different cell, not the same one I had stayed at before.What did surprise me was when a few hours after I had been arrested and kept in a cell, the Queen joined me."What—""Don't ask," she said, cutting me off."How?""The bloody witch, who else," she shot out as she laid down properly on the floor."Why?, I mean,how?, you are—-," I stuttered."The former Queen ? the Alpha’s stepmother? Ian’s mother?—I guess all that means nothing to her," she stated and turned her face away from me."She said we were rebels. Members of the outlanders and I being an accomplice to murder and associating with a traitor," she chuckled darkly, and from her voice, it was obvious tha
Alpha Harold’s pov;It was indeed a difficult situation and very weird too!I remember marking Noreen at that very spot, but when we got married, she had requested that I marked her again, that the witch couldn’t done something to wipe off her mark.Had the witch done something truly? Why else would my mark be on Avery’s body? A woman I had never touched!Even if I wanted to try to Save her which was very weird, that would compromise my position with Noreen.She kept insisting that the healer was telling a lie, she believed that both the healer and Avery were in league and were members of the outlanders.She insisted that the healer be interrogated in order to ascertain the truth, but I knew better.I have known the healer since I was born, she was trustworthy. I had to find a way to save Avery without compromising my relationship with Noreen, while also finding the truth about everything.Avery had refused to leave, despite getting her father involved, she said she wasn’t at the mans
