CHAPTER 107: Face-off

MAVERICK’S POV:

“You stand before Her Royal Majesty, the protector of the Lunaria, protector of the world of beast and humans, the daughter of Alpha Xavier FireHeart and Luna Verona FireHeart, the true bearer of the Crimson bloodline that binds the ancient wolves to the heart of the moon itself, the Queen of the realm, and the Alpha of Alphas; Alpha Rhaella FireHeart!”

The words of the priest echoed through the vast, stone hall of the crimson throne room. My throat tightened as I stood frozen, my gaze fixed on her protruding stomach. I had expected many things upon entering the FireHeart borders yet, nothing prepared me for this sight that shocked me to the core.

The priest continued, “Bow to your Queen.”

I was in too much shock to move an inch, only when Natalie’s hand grasped mine, forcing me to one knee, did I tear my gaze away from her.

How’s this possible?

What’s going on?

Is this a joke?

It couldn’t be. My eyes aren’t deceiving me, or is it?

Pyra?

My hands trembled, not from fear, but with the raw anger that boiled inside of me, one that had been building ever since Maverick entered my throne room, bringing that…Bringing her. I sat on the bed, breathing hard as I gritted my teeth. He was here, and he dared bring that vile woman into my kingdom, into my presence, and flaunt her as his Luna. Sitting wasn’t helping and I stood up and began pacing as my heart pounded in my chest. Maverick and Natalie. The very thought of them being together made my blood boil. After everything he’s done, after rejecting me, after that bitch tried to kill me, he dared to show up like this? With that witch by his side, even dared to claim to be his mate. “Arghh,” I screamed, angrily throwing the glass of wine against the large mirror. The mirror shattered under the pressure a

    CHAPTER 109: Whiskey Third person’s POV: Back at the RedClaw pack, Alpha Duncan sat on a chair, his face squeezed as he took another sip of his wine. The smell of antiseptic didn't bother him, for he has gotten used to it since most of his time was spent here. “Everything needs to be perfect and in motion,” he said to himself, despite his pack suffering due to most of the resources having been spent on the experiment and project. The RedClaw pack is now a shadow of its former glory, and all due to their Alpha’s quest for power. Even the Minister of External Affairs from the great FireHeart pack had extended concerns to the RedClaw pack concerning their lack of resources, but Alpha Duncan has ignored all their messages, for he knew the great benefits his experiment would behold. “Those bastards won’t let me be. This is the fucking sacrifice I had to give for greatness,” Duncan muttered to himself, drowning in another bottle of whisky. He stared at the now half-empty bottle of wh

    CHAPTER 110: The Queen And The Alpha Maverick’s POVI stood frozen, the weight of her command rendering me unable to move, unable to speak as I watched the fury blaze in her eyes. Pyra—no, Rhaella—had every right to be angry, but the weight of her stare made my chest tighten like a vice.“I know you hate me now,” I finally managed, my voice low, dangerously close to breaking. I took a step closer, desperate to close the thick chasm between us, but she moved back instantly, her movements sharp and unyielding.I took another step closer and she took a simultaneous one backward. “Don’t come close, Alpha. Stay the fuck away from me.” Her hands shot up, trembling but resolute, a barrier I dared not cross. “Stay as far away from me as possible.”Her defiance stung. I could feel the anger and hatred coming from her and it did nothing to my throbbing heart. I knew I shouldn’t push her further, not now. Not when she was standing here, alive, after I thought I’d lost her forever.“Pyra… Rhael

    CHAPTER 1 PYRA's POV: I was in the middle of an open forest, encircled by towering trees that seemed to stretch up to the sky. The moon cast an ethereal glow, illuminating the fog that spread around me, making it hard to see beyond two arm's length. “Rhaella, my beautiful girl.” A gentle voice spoke behind me, and I veered sharply to the whimsical presence standing a few feet away from me. His face was obscured, but that didn’t hide the crimson-red eyes that shimmered despite the fog that shrouded his face. But what was most prominent was his fiery red hair, so similar to mine, except a darker shade that moved in a synchronized manner like that of the calming ocean as the wind blew against it. “W-who are you?” I stammered out. My heart rate, which was once elevated, suddenly became calm in his presence. I felt my legs move on their own accord and got closer to the strange man. “My pride, my Rhaella... Remember who you are.” He stretched his arms towards me, exposing a

    CHAPTER 2PYRA’s POV:Alpha Maverick came to halt in front of him. His bright blue eyes locked into my red ones. His broad figure almost dominated the whole kitchen as his skin shimmered in the small sunlight that entered the kitchen. His hair, dark and messy.He stared down at me silently while I shook and shivered on the floor from Natalie’s brutal attack. I wondered what I had ever done wrong to deserve all of this. I emitted a soft, pitiful snuffle and picked myself up, my movement hesitant and awkward, and bowed respectfully.“Thank you, Alpha,” I whispered, my voice barely above a whisper. Alpha Maverick grunted, his voice firm but not unkind. "You shouldn't let other people bring you down; you need to stand up for yourself, Pyra. There is no room in my pack for weak omegas.”His words stung, but he was right. But I couldn't stand up for myself, even if I tried. Only pain came the last time I tried. So now, I did what anyone would have done if they were in my shoes; lay low an

    CHAPTER 3PYRA’s POV:It's been two days since I got rejected and I've been trying to avoid crossing paths with Alpha Maverick. A few times, he was close to discovering me, but I had experience with escaping people, and I knew every place within the pack, so it was easy to run from him.As I got dressed for the day's chores with the pain of his rejection still looming over my entire being, a knock sounded at the door. A few seconds later, the door opened, one of the other maids piped in as she glared at me.“The headmistress demands our presence now,” she said before I could say anything. Another normal day in the pack house, and by normal day, I meant filled with chores and having to not bump into Alpha Maverick, Natalie, or Connor, which was always hard considering I worked on the same floor they lived on and I had to serve them their food. I didn’t want to get up, but I knew what would happen if I miss today's briefing. We all gathered in the servant quarters, which was an ext

    CHAPTER 4 PYRA’s POV: I rushed out of the alpha's wing, feeling the tears flow freely down my cheeks. I thought for a second that he had finally come through, that everything would be fine. The way he held me so closely convinced me, although I could smell the alcohol on him. The mate bond tricked me and my delusional mind into thinking that he wanted me. He didn't; it was all a mistake, and none of it was real. With my clothes in my hand and only my underwear for cover, I raced back to my room. It was still dark out, and everyone should have still been in bed. It was easier to run back to my room without being seen, and it would be easier for me to leave in the cover of darkness. I was never even going to stay after what had happened; I wouldn't be able to live with myself knowing that we had sex, and I later found out he never wanted me to begin with. I had been banished. Where I would go was the question I would figure out when I was out of the pack. I stuffed my

It was as if they were heavily weighed down by an invisible force like a thousand bricks pressing down on them. 'Was I dead?' I wondered.Was this how the afterworld felt?I felt like a prisoner, imprisoned in my own body. I could remember unquestionably falling to my death off the cliff, the crashing impact with the water's surface, and the excruciating pain that still lingered vividly in my mind.I knew I was dead at that moment since no one could have ever survived that impact.But… the persistent throbbing of my heart and the feeling of the blood mixed with anguish coursing through my veins told me a different story.I realized I wasn't dead after all. The pain and coldness after my rejection were too real and intense to ignore.But where was I? Why was it so cold here?"Wake up, goddam

    CHAPTER 106: The She-AlphaMaverick’s POV: The way to the FireHeart pack was quiet and filled with tension. No one dared to speak, nor even breathe too loud, afraid of shattering the fragile peace. I sat in the backseat of the SUV, my mind far away as I stared at the passing trees, thinking of everything and nothing in particular. My escort wasn’t much. I let Derick stay in control of the pack, overseeing pack affairs until I got back, while Natalie, Scott, a few Ministers, and guards followed me, separated by individual cars. “No matter how much I think and rehearse the conversation I would have with the Alpha of FireHeart pack, I just don’t seem to get it. How would I relate with someone I barely even know?” I finally spoke about the major conflict that has plagued my mind, my eyes shifting from the moving road and towards Scott who sat in the front seat beside the driver. “Discussing diplomatic issues with a lady, it’s weird.”Natalie, who sat beside me turned to glare at me, h

    CHAPTER 105: Queen Of Alphas Maverick’s POV:“Are you sure this newly crowned Alpha is not Luna Verona herself?” One of the ministers questioned, his words receiving nods and repose of murmurs from the ministers sitting around the table in the meeting room. “If the rumors we heard were correct, it was a female and not a male that was crowned and took the oath of leadership.”Another Minister pitched in, adjusting his spectacles. “I believe what our esteemed Minister says to be true. There is no limit to what Luna Verona FireHeart could do to maintain power within her grasp. For all we know, this might be another one of her plays.”The air grew dense as Scott, the Whisperer, and second-hand to late minister Blackthorn, lifted his hand as if asking for permission to speak. I nodded, granting him. “Gentlemen,” Scott began, his voice smooth and calculated, “If I may. I had stayed in the FireHeart pack as a spy and whisperer for quite some time before I was called back here. From what I

    CHAPTER 104: The Money TalkLuna Elodie's POV:I packed the scant evidence from Blackthorn’s chambers, my hands trembling as I forced myself to breathe steadily, locking the drawer. If this was well hidden by Blackthorn, it meant it was never meant to see the light of day. Once the room was locked behind me, I hurried down the dimly lit corridor, the eerie silence pressing on my senses as I listened for any sign that I was being watched or followed. My chambers felt like a sanctuary when I finally reached them, though my nerves were taut. Immediately, I reached for my bed, sliding the evidence beneath my pillow as I adjusted the silk coverlet just as the door swung open.I veered around in shock, seeing Maverick standing there, his piercing eyes scanning the room. “M-Maverick,” I stammered, forcing calm into my voice as I folded my hands around my chest. “To what do I owe this visit?”He stepped further inside, his gaze narrowing. “What are you doing, mother? Where have you been?”

    CHAPTER 103: Never ShieldPyra’s POVI sat behind my desk, slowly rolling the chair from side to side, the weight of my responsibilities pressing down on me, though it was nothing compared to the weight of the life stirring within me. I rested a hand on my rounded belly, feeling another strong kick that made me flinch.“Alright, little ones,” I murmured with a small smile. These little ones are kicking the sense out of me. “I get it, you’re impatient, but just a little while. Let Mommy breathe a little.” They have been restless for days now, kicking hard into my bladder, which made me constantly urinate, but Veronica said it was normal. It was surreal to think how much had changed in almost six months. Six months ago, I was no one—an omega, a runaway washed up on the shore, a rogue with no pack, no family. Now, I was the Queen of Alphas, carrying triplets and ruling over the very wolves who once doubted me. Fate had twisted my path in ways I could never have predicted.I shook my hea

    CHAPTER 102: Duty CalledPyra’s POVMy small heels clicked against the marbled ground as I walked, and the scent of polished wood and leather greeted me as I stepped into my new office. The room was vast, far larger than I’d expected, its grandeur almost overwhelming. When I entered the room, my gaze lingered on the two portraits hanging on opposite walls—one of my father, proud and stoic, and one of myself, painted with an intensity I wasn’t sure I deserved yet.Inside the office, Beta Thane stood to one side, his sharp and observant eyes never missing a thing. Madraya and Veronica flanked him, their expressions unreadable. My mother, Luna Verona, stood with quiet pride radiating from her while the ministers lined the room like sentinels, their postures stiff and formal.I smoothed my hand over the hem of my tailored suit, a symbol of my new role. It hugged me in all the right places but left room for my rounded abdomen, where my unborn children stirred faintly. Even the heels on my
