AXIOS'S POV

I had cried my eyes out at the pack clinic, begging Mira to please come back to me. I had waited for more than half of my life to finally meet my mate, and just a few months later, the cold gripping hand of death snatched her away.

"Alpha Axios, please take heart," I heard Maxim say from behind me.

I quickly jerked up from the floor grabbed him by the shirt and said, "Please do something, Maxim, anything; please, just wake her up, please,"

"Alpha Axios! " he called out and my hands slipped away and I slumped on the floor.

"I'm sorry, but I have done all I could," Maxim explained, but it was all for deaf ears. I was heartbroken and on the verge of going mad with grief.

I had always imagined what wolves go through when they lose their fated mate to death, but I never really thought it was this painful.

Now I know why it is called the mad grief. Gaius was standing at the corner all this time watching the drama unfold, when he noticed tha

    AXIOS'S POVI was shocked to see myself on the ground, with scattered pieces of wood lying on the ground around me. I looked around, and I guess they dropped the coffin on the ground. I was surprised as I saw my Beta, Gaius, and the pack elders staring down at me. "Alpha!" Gaius called out with a hint of shock in his voice. I didn't say a word as I was still confused at seeing them. "They didn't possibly all die, and we got reunited in the afterlife," I murmured to myself in confusion. "Alpha!" Theo, one of the pack elders called out, and I turned to meet his gaze. "What happened to me?" I scowled There was an uproar, and for the first time, I noticed it wasn't just the pack elders, then Gaius and Axel, but the whole room was packed with wolves, with confusion written all over their faces. "You should be dead!" Axel screamed out and moved towards me. He tried touching my chest where I had stabbed myself when I made to touch him also. He jumped

    I was in shock and unable to get off the chair when he was done with his story. I became ashamed of myself for ever thinking he was a monster. I stood up from the chair I had been sitting in all this while and moved close to him. It was a little dark in the room except for the lamp that was giving off light. Looking at the scar on his chest, I could feel my blood boiling, and a tear escaped my eyes. "Please don't cry," Axios said as he cupped my cheeks in his hand. Every shred of fear was swept away as the tears flowed helplessly. It was one of the saddest stories I have ever heard, and for some reason, my heart was in pain. I caressed the scar on his chest as the tears continued flowing. "Is it painful?" I asked him, staring into his eyes. "Not anymore; would you stop crying, please? I can't stand seeing you cry," he whispered. He gathered into his arms and I willingly went to him. * * * * *One week later It has been awfully quiet these few days. I spent almost every sin

    Tiger might not be a wolf, but he was a beast on the battlefield. He didn't miss any, as he killed every last one of them. Kiara and I kept exchanging glances as he continued his onslaught. Within a few minutes, the ground was littered with dead bodies. "Are you okay, ma'am?" he asked the instant he pulled the car open. Honestly, I feel like hugging him right now. I nodded my head in response, as I couldn't get myself to say a word. "I should get you home, ma'am," he said, stretching his hands to help me get down. I grabbed onto his hands as he led me to the car he came with. I looked back to see Kiara had already gotten out of the car and was standing over one of our attackers. "I guess she had her fair share of shock also," I thought to myself as he pulled open the car. I got into the car, Kiara and the driver entered the car when they were done transferring our stuff into the car, and Tiger drove off. We drove back to the house in silence. I got out of the car the minute it ca

    I opened my eyes to a faintly lit room. My vision was a little blurry, and I tossed from one side of the bed to the other. When my vision became clear, I couldn't quite figure out where I was or why my head was aching. I was still lost in thought when images of me in that weird room flashed before my eyes. I suddenly became apprehensive when I finally remembered that I had fainted in that room. I turned to see a figure sitting on the couch. "I can't possibly still be inside the weird room," I silently asked myself. I looked away, scared as fuck, as I didn't want to make eye contact with whomever it was. "Someone must have found me." I tried convincing myself while looking around the room, scared to my bones. I don't know what I would do if I were still lying in that haunted room. I turned to the side to see a bedside lamp giving off light. "This is the bedside lamp in Axios room," I silently said to myself as I continued looking around the room.There was a rush of cold wind, and

    "Ma'am, that's Miss Lily Preston.""Lily?" "The only daughter of late Geoffrey Preston""Is she?""She once had a thing with Capo, but it didn't last long, though she is one of the few that lasted more than a night," Damian continued, but suddenly paused and whispered some inaudible words to himself. Well, I was glad it flowed out of his mouth before he shushed himself up. "Did she now?" I said as I gave him a thorough look. I could tell he was a little anxious, but I didn't give a damn, and I stormed off to the room. I banged the door the very minute I got in, worried that he was in there with some half-naked chick, I should trust Axios, I quickly reminded myself. But how the fuck am I supposed to trust that naked, sneaky bitch?I was pacing the room nonstop while checking the clock every minute. I jerked off the bed each time I heard a door open, wondering if the meeting was over already. My face fell at each false alarm, and I swore at him for staying so long in the study wit

    "I should call a doctor to run some tests on you," he said, stroking my hair gently. "What happened?" I asked him, wondering what I was doing in bed. "You just blacked out, I checked, and you were soundly asleep," he replied, looking at me affectionately.I have no idea what is going on. I blacked out in that room a few days ago after seeing stuff I don't even understand. Now I blacked out again. I was still lost in thought when I heard some sounds coming from down the stairs, then a fuss at the door. "What is that sound?" I asked. "Don't get off the bed; let me see who it is," he hurriedly said before leaving the room. There was something off. Axios house hasn't been this busy ever since I came here. I wonder what is going on outside. "Ouch!" I screamed, grabbing my head. It keeps thrusting hard, it sometimes feels like something is crawling on the skin, and I always feel hot, as if my body were covered in hot coal. Maybe it's just all in my head. "Tada!!" Kiara screamed, hold

    "How do I look?""Like you always do, gorgeous with a touch of madness," Gramps teased me."Come on, Gramps," I said, faking a frown. She cracked up, laughing so hard and coughing in between laughter. She cleaned off her mouth with a piece of cloth, and I nearly screamed at the sight of blood stains."Gramps, we should go see a doctor once I'm back," I said to her. She smiled. "I'm fine, darling; besides, you look perfect, my beautiful granddaughter," she said, holding my cheeks and tugging at them gently. She planted a kiss on my forehead."I will be back before you know it," I screamed out. I grabbed my coat and dashed out the door. It was a beautiful morning, and I was rushing out for an interview. I have been out of work for 3 weeks now. I gave my last employer quite an earful before quitting that awful job. He was a hell of a terrible employer.I got to the bus station a little earlier; I wanted to get to the interview earlier than other applicants; I needed this job now more th

    My heart was failing me as I stared at the problem before me. I slumped on the ground, tears flowing freely from my eyes."Gramps," I called out, shaking her body to get a response."Gramps!" I called yet again, and when I didn't get a response, I placed my ears on her chest just to be sure she was breathing.I quickly skidded off the floor and ran upstairs in search for my phone to call for help. * * * * * * * *Gramps has been the only family I have known since I was a kid; she has been the center of my world.

    AXIOS'S POV8 months and two weeks after the coronation, I woke up early in the morning to an unexpected visitor. The counsel of Alphas had been summoned to an impromptu meeting, and I was to leave immediately. Rufus and his rogue wolves had attacked the Red Dawn Pack, one of the ancient packs, killing everyone in their path. We were summoned by the Lycan prince, Reagan, to discuss ways to put an end to Rufus before he destroys more packs. I had plans to visit the human world with Mira that morning when Beta Axel came over to inform me of the visitor. I wanted to send the visitors away, but when they mentioned Prince Reagan, I felt powerless. "Come on, you promised you would take me to the human world today, for some homemade pies, remember?" Mira lamented while sitting on the floor; for some odd reasons, best known to Mira and my unborn babies, she prefers sitting on the floor. Mira practically eats, sleeps, and does every damn thing on the floor; mo

    AXIOS'S POVI hadn't seen a wolf so eager to charge to a fight like Mira; she wasn't scared of anything neither was she scared of being killed. She fights better than most of the male wolves in my pack, honestly from how fragile and pale she looked you wouldn't believe she could even fight, "Are you hurt?""No, I'm fine; I think we got every last one of them," she said, still focused on the dead rogues. Watching her fight like that made me wonder how the fuck did the rogues overpower and kidnap her in the first place. "Alpha!" I heard Gamma Gaius voice from behind us. "Are you okay?" Axel asked, looking from me to Mira. His face changed the instant he understood what had happened. "Are you okay, Luna?" he asked Mira, but a little slower, like he was being cautious, as she didn't want her charging at him. "Yeah, I have never been better," she replied. Breathing heavily, Axel turned to look at me, like he was asking what the fuck happened and why was
