The crowd fell silent, all eyes turning to me, the anger evident in them. They hated me as much as they hated my husband.“You accuse him of being unfit, of being a tyrant, but have any of you stopped to consider why he acted the way he did? Have any of you tried to help him?”The elder scoffed, cle
Alpha Harold’s pov;As Noreen and I walked back to the mansion, I wasn’t sure I had made the right choice. I knew that everyone must’ve heard now how I lashed out at the council members, they already hated me and might even want me to step down as an Alpha.The council had declared me unfit to lead.
His expression faltered, but he stood his ground. “You’re a tyrant, Harold. You’re no Alpha of ours.”He had called me by my name and insulted me!I wanted to speak agsin, but she spoke before me.“Stop,” she said as she stepped forward, her eyes sharp as she stared at them.“I may not have been bor
Ian’s pov;I had been here for weeks, learning from Elder Caractus.The old man was grumpy and annoying and I couldn’t wait to finish learning from him before sending him off to meet the ancestors!I had been careful enough to take my dealings elsewhere and currently, I stood in the center of the ro
And she was now standing between me and the throne.Later that night, I got into my disguise, a simple cloak and a hood to obscure my features. I had to see someone important.The journey to the mansion was uneventful, though the sight of guards patrolling the grounds was a reminder of the newest ch
Queen Margery’s pov;I sat in my favorite armchair by the window, looking out at the dark night sky.I had dinner alone earlier as I wasn’t feeling too well. I’d like to think that it was because of something rise, but I knew the source of my I’ll health, it was my son.My son, Ian.I had betrayed h
“You hurt me,” he said and I could feel the pain in my heart, the Hot searing pain. I had broken him, yet, he had come to see me.“Sit with me,” I said, guiding him to the armchairs by the window.We sat in silence for a moment, and then I spoke, the only thing I had in my mind for the past few days
Noreen’s pov;I stood by my window glancing at the vast surrounding before me, I had a good view of the Blackburn pack and I thought about how I would rule the seven packs.In truth, I knew nothing about being a leader, I was after all, a weak omega who had been a serving girl. This was all too new
“Happy Anniversary!” Everyone in the room yelled as soon as they walked inside.“Aunt Queen!” Little Noreen ran towards Queen Noreen and She held her mid ways, hugging her. She was going to be three years in two months, but she was so smart that Noreen used to tell Candace that it was because she wa
Epilogue;Third person’s pov;Epilogue;Third person Pov;Three years laterAlpha king Harold and Queen Noreen both flung the covers over their heads and giggled as they breathed hard.“That was amazing,” She breathed out and giggled as she gazed into his eyes.“Don’t look at me like that.““Why?”“
“How touching,” I sneered, taking a slow step closer.Harold pulled her closer, away from me.“The dutiful mate protecting her cursed Alpha. Tell me, Noreen, does it feel good to play queen?”She didn’t reply. Instead, she clenched her fist tightly. “Leave now, Ian, while you still can.”I chuckled
Ian’s pov;I hadn’t heard from my mother in a long time, which was weird, considering the fact that we’ve been exchanging letters for a while now.I was glad that she understood me, glad that she had even helped me secretely.I was surprised when I heard that she was responsible for what happened t
Ian chuckled darkly as his eyes gleamed with hatred. "I’ve spent too long in your shadows, watching you take everything that should’ve been mine. The pack, the throne... even her." His gaze lingered on me and he smiled. I felt a wave of disgust. "You’ll never have any of it," Harold snapped. "Your

There was also the precision with which it was executed... this wasn’t random. Someone inside the mansion had done this. Someone close to us. But who?Then my mind went back to the night I had seen someone who looked like Ian slip out of the Queen’s room.The thought that she could have been resp
Alpha Harold’s pov;I could hear the music from downstairs and could imagine the excitement on everyone’s faces. It was my son’s name day and although I couldn’t be there, I was celebrating on my own.I had promised Noreen that I was going to celebrate on my own, with a glass of wine and that was ex
