Author's POV"Alarick, we have to hand over the girl and the baby to the organization. You can't put it off any longer..."The voice echoed in the silent room, it sounded so clear to Xevia's sense of hearing.That voice made Xevia curious, she knew this would not end well for her, considering it was Louvre Ivyari who said that. Yes, that woman, Alarick's mother.The cruel woman who had made her life more miserable than ever."When will the sacrifice be made, mother?""As soon as possible.""Don't we need to wait for the baby's birth time?""I don't think so, we can cut open the woman's abdomen to force the baby out.""Then what about the other potential sacrifices?""We will do the same to the other potential sacrifices. It's just that you know, this ritual won't do any good if the baby of the blind rogue prince doesn't exist? We really need them, that bitch and her baby...""Alright, mom, I'll take her to the ritual site.""No, you but us...""We have to take her now, we don't have m
Xander slipped into a truck that had just stopped in front of the dome-like structure. It was the only way he could think of at the moment."Who sent you?" someone asked from outside."Mrs. Luciad.""What's in the truck? Can we take a look?""Just groceries and fruits, you can check if you want," the driver replied.Xander's heart skipped a beat at the sound of the guards' footsteps approaching where he was hiding. He was hiding behind wooden boxes that were filled with vegetables and fruits."Matte, Mrs. Ivyari will be here soon, she asked us to be ready.""And what about this truck? I have not checked it yet.""Mr. Josh told me yesterday that there will indeed be a truck carrying groceries for us. So I guess this is the truck he was referring to.""Are you sure?" The officer raised his eyebrows."I'm pretty sure, because this old man has often delivered goods in and out of this place.""Well, if that's what you say,""Hey old man! Come on, you can come in, bring your truck straight
"Are you new?" One of the guards asked when it was Xander's turn to get the stale food.Xander pretended to be helpless and nodded like a weak fool."What department do you work in? How come I never see you?" The guard raised one eyebrow.Xander panicked as the guard asked him about something he hadn't prepared an answer for. But luckily his eyes were sharp enough to catch a list tacked up not far from where he was in line now. A list of the places where these rogues were employed."In the sanktuarium." Xander replied casually.The man came closer to his face, sniffing and trying to recognize him."You are rogues, but why do you look like an alpha? Who caught you?" he asked again."Dumbass, hurry up, the queue is getting longer, why are you questioning that guy for so long?" screeched the guard behind them."Yes, big mouth. Be a little patient. Hey you handsome rogues, you have a nice ass! Step forward!" the guard patted Xander's butt and invited him to step forward. Now Xander could
"How do we get out of here?" Xander asked the man in front of him.The man turned his head and looked at the elevator not far from them."It's the only way, there's no way we're diving in with this woman.""The guard above must be very tight, so inevitably, one of us will have to outwit the guards.""I'll be the one to outwit the guards, and you should take her away from here immediately. Do you understand?"Xander blinked his eyes a few times, he was between belief and disbelief.How could a man he had just met want to be so kind to him. And willing to sacrifice himself for him."Wait a minute-"Xander hesitated, he had no idea what to do with the man. Should he say thank you and leave him, or should he fight with him against those ruthless alphas?"Why are you doing all this for me?" asked Xander."Do you think I'm doing this for you? I'm doing this for my people. I'm going to free them from the confinement and domination of those cruel alphas."The words that came out of the man's
"I thought Xander Levon Balstair was a brave man, but it turns out he was just a cowardly rogue prince."Xander stared at the man before him with a face full of anger. His hands clenched into fists, the wolf inside him roaring, wanting to come out and teach the alpha bastard a lesson.But for a moment, his brain went back to thinking about what would happen to Xevia if he fought with that bastard. He feared this was just Alarick's way to break his focus, to take Xevia away from him.He had to think about it first."I don't know what you're talking about," he said flatly, taking a step back from his rival. He did his best not to attack, and prepared to run with all his might, because even if that was what Alarick wanted, he couldn't fight now. Not now, Xevia's safety was his priority."Your mate's body, so delicious and voluptuous. I'm sure you must not have touched an inch of her. Do you know what we have done in the past month?""Every day all we did was fuck, and fuck, day and night
"Xevia!" Archer approached Xevia's body lying limply on the ground and Xander covered her with a shabby cloth that he didn't know where to get.Archer immediately lifted the woman's weak body. Before going further, he looked to his right and left first. Making sure that the surroundings were safe from interference from Luciad and Ivyari's troops."I will save you," Archer hissed. Ruzkov's words rang in his ears again. About what he should do if things became precarious. But once again he felt the hesitation to leave this place, remembering Xander who was injured because of his carelessness.If only Archer had listened to his older brother more, maybe things wouldn't have turned out like this. He was caught off guard by the threats around him just because he saw that girl.The girl he believed was his destined mate.Archer's mind was in chaos right now, he really couldn't think clearly. He couldn't even really focus on his purpose in coming to this place after the unexpected encounter
"Is it true that the baby I'm carrying is your son?"The man just smiled and nodded."How is that possible?" asked Xevia.Xander stood before her, he looked at her meaningfully, his icy hands reaching for her fingers."You can ask Archer, when you wake up....""Wake up? What do you mean?""You're just dreaming now..." Xander said as his cold hand gently touched Xevia's cheek."Take care of him, take care of our child, I love you Xevia, I will continue to love you even though I know -"Xevia silenced Xander's lips with hers before he could even finish his sentence.But the moment Xevia's lips touched Xander's cold, icy lips, suddenly a blinding light blinded her eyes. She couldn't see anything but that light........***"She's's awake!" Someone shouted."Thank goodness, she's awake!""Arch! Come here, Xevia is awake, she's awake!"Xevia heard the sound of stomping feet running towards her. The sound grew closer, and slowly her heavy eyelids lightened and she was able to open them fully
After that celebratory moment, Xevia went to her room, to the room Xander had prepared for her and the baby long ago. There she bemoaned her fate, regretting what she had done. Regretting that she had wasted Xander. The man who loved her tenderly.She hugged her baby, then her shoulders began to shake and she cried."Leonidas..." Xevia murmured her baby's name. The name was given to the baby by Archer."I wish you were here, Xander, look at him, he looks so much like you," she hissed as she stared at the clear glass before her.I wish you were still here Xander. I wish I could make up for all my mistakes. If only....Xevia could only wish, it was too late and she wouldn't be able to turn back time. The regret inside her would be useless if she didn't do something to avenge the death of her son's father.More or less, Xevia began to know that Xander's death and the destruction of her mate's organisation had something to do with the Ivyari and Luciad families.***"Can I come in?" Someo
The image of the man who closely resembled the photo of Xevia's late father disappeared after saying those words. It was a message about Xevia having to take care of herself because the mission she was on was not an easy one. The mission required her to kill someone. A good person who would be able to do something for their country even if it wasn't in the way they had imagined it to be at that time. She didn’t think anyone had expected her to succeed so soon. But, as a member of the Special Task Force and the commander of the second team, she was supposed to have more resources than anyone else present. Her abilities were already remarkable enough to make people look up to her, and when she took on this mission without being fully briefed… it made them realize how much of a problem she really was. She hadn't wanted to come back. Not until she had seen what the world had become. But now, she was here, in the middle of the enemy. And she was going to go through with this. She coul
Xevia ran through the dark forest, trying to avoid the pursuing old wolf behind her. Her bare feet made no sound on the damp mossy ground, but she knew that the big wolf was gaining steadily on her with every step she took. She’d been running since the sun went down; all of yesterday.The woods around them were thick and dense, a place that could hide anything. Even though it was dark now, she could still see the huge tree trunks in every direction, some almost twice as tall as a human being. Their branches spread out overhead, blocking off everything else and offering shelter from the cold autumn night wind. They were also too far away for her to make any noise, but still close enough that if Xevia stopped. After feeling a little safe, Xevia transformed herself into a wolf so that she could defeat the old alpha behind her. In her conscious state, she could feel how her body turned into a wolf with a tail of fire. With the animalistic strength born of pure instinct, she slashed at the
A beautiful full moon night. Xevia and the old alpha stood at the edge of the ravine looking up at the sky. "Soon it will be time..." said the old man.At exactly midnight, Xevia would transform into a wolf. It had been a week now that she'd learned to control her transformations. "Yes." She agreed. The old man was one of the few who knew that she'd become this way before... when her father had left. She had been raised by a kind beta woman, but the old man had insisted on taking care of her. He didn't know the truth about her origins though. He couldn't understand what the pack did. And he never would, until he saw it with his own eyes. The old man looked at her carefully as if trying to judge whether or not he could trust her. His golden eyes were warm, even through the dark. He was an older male werewolf of average height with white hair and wrinkles around his eyes and mouth. He was wearing some sort of military uniform. He smiled softly, "You're ready then, are you?" he aske
Today, a gloomy day, the sky is filled with clouds and the wind is blowing hard. The sun has hidden itself behind the thick cover of gray that covers the whole earth, making it as dark as night and as quiet as the grave. It’s not unusual, the world is changing fast and the weather will get worse soon, but it's still gloomy and she know why it is that it is so dark out now, it's raining. She can feel it too when she look at the grey sky and even though it is raining hard. The old alpha, who did not want to give his name, asked Xevia to follow him. "Sir, where are you taking me?"The old man crossed his index finger in front of his lips to signal Xevia to be quiet. He stopped walking then looked around for some time before he turned to face her again. "Follow," he replied softly and walked away from where they were standing just moments ago. She had no choice but to follow, though it felt like an invisible force held her back. But when Xeveia opened her mouth to ask what is going on s
Xevia looked at the old man whom Alisha called grandfather while paying close attention."Who are you? And how did you find this remote place?" The old man frowned in astonishment.The place where he lived was not a place easily accessible to ordinary people. And it could not be found by humans. So it was certain that only the descendants of lycans and wolves could find this place."I-"Xevia walked up to the old man."I am the daughter of Lorenzo Farkass." She replied in a calm tone. Then she looked down at her hands for a moment before looking back up again and smiling warmly at him."My name is Xevia. It is my pleasure to make your acquaintance."The old man stared at Xevia with wide eyes for a moment before his expression shifted into that of an amused smile."Lorenzo Farkass did you say? You must be joking!""Do you know my father?" Xevia said curiously."Yes. I knew your dad. He was a very talented man." The old man nodded. "But, I didn't know that he had a daughter?""It's a l
After her encounter with alpha Roman, as well as several other alphas who are known as one of the most powerful and trained alphas, Xevia finally continued her journey. Of course, after getting some clues from Beta Siege about where she should look for the whereabouts of the old alpha who trained her father to become the strongest warrior.Xevia deliberately asked for help from these alphas, she needed support because if it came to Luciad and Ivyari stepping in to fight her then she needed reinforcements so that her intention to take revenge and destroy them could be carried out.Xevia knew it would not be easy, but she had promised herself that she would not give up.She promised to give a better life to Leon and everyone who believed in her."Alpha Roman, uncle Siege, thank you for receiving me so well. Thank you for your help and the banquet, I take my leave. I hope that when this mission is over, I can meet you again." Xevia said while accepting the bag that had been filled with m
Today Beta Siege took Xevia to the place where he and Xevia's late father used to spend time together.It was there that they met the mysterious alpha who eventually became the teacher who trained her father and turned him into an invincible warrior.Her father was a half-blood warrior who was ostracised for his unique abilities, he was banished and considered a curse. However, in the end her father was the one who saved the wolf clan from destruction, saving many of the alphas he hated from being killed and attacked by demon-worshipping immortal wolves.Now, Xevia and Siege stood at the top of a green hill. In front of them lay a thick mist that made the hill feel like it was above the clouds. It was the same color as the sky on cloudy days. The sun could barely shine through, its rays were blocked by the dense fog. But despite this, she still felt warm. "How about it?" asked Beta Siege glancing at the young woman beside him who was looking at the scene before her with a face of amaz
"Mum, take it easy," Alarick tried to calm his mother, who had been emotionally explosive for several days."Calm down? How can you ask me to calm down at a time like this?" Lourve shouted back at her son."Yes, I'm asking you to calm down, because I'm sure I can fix everything.""Everything? Are you sure you can clean up all this mess?" Lourve shouted again, this time lowering her voice slightly as the argument with her son was not something she wanted to be heard by the Luciad family who were now hosting them.After the failure of the ritual, both Lourve and Alarick no longer dared to go home.The North Aminour region was now controlled by her first son, whom she had put in a dungeon for refusing to join the sect of demon worshippers she led.The commoners who had favoured his eldest son from the start revolted and freed Domani Ivyari. They then forced the councillors to crown Domani that very night, disregarding the other rule of waiting for the presence of Lourve or any other broth
"Who do you want to see?" Some guards- they were the omegas of uncle Siege's men."Uncle Siege, is he home?""Who are you?" The guard looked at Xevia with a face full of suspicion."I'm Xevia Brielle Farkass, tell that to uncle Siege. I'm sure he recognises me."The guard furrowed his brow."Wait here!" he snapped and went inside, leaving Xevia still outside the fence.***"Beta Siege, someone is looking for you," the omega guarding the house contacted Beta Siege using the interphone embedded in the front wall."Who?" The man's hoarse voice answered."Xevia Brielle Farkass-"What? Did he already know her true identity? How is that possible? Who told her?Beta Siege muttered to himself."Bring the girl in. Take her straight to my office!" His order which was immediately obeyed by the omega guards.***"Miss Farkass, you are welcome to enter by our master. Come with me..." The Omega guard who had been cynical and stern changed his attitude towards Xevia instantly.The omega man became mo
