Xevia's POVHe carried me to the room, which was still on the second floor. But with a more 'sweet' design. Pastel-colored curtains and white walls with the ceiling made blue like the daytime sky, and fresh lily flowers were placed on a round table in the center of the room.A sizeable queen-sized bed with silvery white sheets. And a natural-colored marble floor with bold natural lines. Behind a large, curtained glass door, there is a balcony overlooking the mountains and forest."I'm sure you'll feel right at home here," the man said as he lowered me from his arms. I flinched, not responding, staring at him with an annoyed face. Well, actually, not only was I bothered, but I also felt very embarrassed.This was the umpteenth time I felt this kind of embarrassment."Enjoy your punishment, Miss Brielle," he said as he closed the door.I was wide-eyed with shock at the man's quick movements. I got up rather shakily, but I was too late. I didn't expect him to lock me out again. I thought
Xevia's POV"Starting today you have to come with me wherever I go, if you don't then I'll lock you in your room."The last mouthful of soup I ate was stuck in my throat at that moment. What did he mean? Why do I have to follow him wherever he goes?Instead of answering, I was left with my mouth gaping like a moron."You must be wondering about why I'm asking you that," Xander smiled at me."It's because I don't want to give you another chance to escape." He hissed."What if I don't want to obey you?" I asked back."I'm not offering you, or asking you to choose, but I'm giving you an order. Orders that you cannot refuse, do you understand?" He hissed.Making me instantly nauseous, I looked at him with an annoyed face."Don't look so upset, what's wrong with you? You should be happy to be with your husband all the time." he said as he got up from his seat then casually left the dining table after making me lose all my appetite.After a few steps he turned around and looked at me, "get
Xander's POV"Five pregnant women and seven children disappeared overnight." Archer threw the report file with a frustrated look on his face."We can't just stand by, brother. We have to do something."I looked deeply at Archer."Yes I know, Arch.""But we have to plan all this carefully. Because I'm sure they, the demon-worshipping wolves are not alone. They are in groups and have strong backing. I don't want the negligence and immaturity of our plan to result in the loss of our soldiers." I said to quell the anger that was bubbling up inside Archer.I knew he was eager to avenge the evil wolves with angelic faces, but learning from the experience of my late grandfather who had failed because of my uncle's hasty actions; I would not repeat history."Let me do the rescuing." I said again."Let me come with you bro,," Archer sounded pleading."No, Arch. Because tonight I will not use weapons, but I will negotiate with them. Because that's the only way to find out who's behind all the k
Author's POV.The car Xander was in finally arrived at an old castle that stood majestically on the edge of a steep forest cliff. The place is hundreds of miles from the big city. The massive stone building was tall and imposing, with an extended front porch and massive columns supporting its thick roof. The place looked like nothing else he had ever seen in the city, but the way Xander felt about castles, he couldn't explain why the court was so intriguing to him but also creepy at the same time.He got out of the car and was greeted by a limp, pale-faced young man"Only one person is allowed to enter. Mr. Golvarian said that."Zigas and Xander looked at each other, "young master?""You don't have to worry, Zee. Everything will be fine," Xander reassured, but Zigas' face couldn't lie, worry reflected in his expression.The limp guy helped him into the castle and didn't say a word until they got to the end of the path, where there were two large wooden doors leading into the hallway.
Author's POVAfter Xander left, Archer went straight to Xevia, who was in the glass room. Arriving there, he found Xevia sitting sweetly facing a large window from a height that showed a view of the surrounding tall buildings. The sky was cloudless, but the sun had not yet reached its zenith, and its light reflected on the river's water that flowed and split this great city into two halves.It was a beautiful sight."What are you thinking about?" chirped Arch, breaking Xevia's reverie.The woman turned her head and saw her handsome brother-in-law."Arch, since when are you here?""You look pale. Are you okay?" asked Archer."I'm fine," said Xevia while holding back the discomfort in her stomach."Are you sure?" Archer couldn't just believe her words. Because before leaving earlier, his brother had told him everything about what Xevia had done the day before. About her attempt to escape by crossing the artificial lake behind Xander's house.About how she went there alone in an attempt t
Author's POV"Get up, and you have to come with me today."Xevia was reluctant at first, and she was not at all interested in Xander's invitation. However, she remembered the agreement she had made with Selia."Alright, I'll come with you. Where are you taking me? To your base again?"Xander looked at him with furrowed brows, "No.""Then where?""To where you want to go. I guarantee you won't regret coming with me this time."Xevia felt her hatred for the man gnawing at her. But with all her might, she did not want to show that hatred."Being with you is my lifelong regret, Xander. Do you think I could find something I regret more than this?"Instead of getting angry or showing a displeased expression, Xander smiled sweetly and caressed the top of Xevia's head."I hope you have no regrets other than spending the time of your life with me.""You know, regret hurts more than being killed many times.""Let go of your hand!" Xevia stepped back a few centimeters and moved her face away from
"I hope you feel at home here," Dorothy greeted Xevia warmly, and Clayton did the same, a warm welcome like family. They both led Xevia inside and showed her the room they had prepared for her.Xander walked slowly behind her as he was busy on the phone with Dom.Though this particular day, he wanted to spend some time on his honeymoon with his mate in the city of Izlav-a city known as a territory for rogues. Izlav city is known as the safest city.Izlav City itself had quite rigorous invisible security. Four security posts were in five directions, guarded by forty rogue soldiers. High mountains surrounded the city, and only rogues and people with special interests and permits could enter.Izlav City was founded by Xander's late grandfather, Davonso Van Balstair.Izlav City was Xander's choice as the safest place because it was the only place where none of the enemies of the rogues could penetrate its walls and security."Yes? Did my brother ask me to come?""Gosh, I just got here, an
Author's POVEveryone in the room fell silent, losing hope and even their breath, including Xevia.She, who had always disliked Xander and had even wished for her mate's death so that she could be free, did not expect that when she actually saw his death, she would feel something in her heart.Something called sadness and loss.Shouldn't those feelings not exist? Then why do they pop up and intervene?"I-is Xander dead?" Xevia's trembling voice filled the silence in the room.Her weak legs forced her forward to reach the man who was now lying on the sofa in the house's living room."Xander...."Xevia seemed to feel an invisible urge telling her to move forward and touch the man.It was a natural urge that just came when she saw Xander's face turn pale and cold."No, no," Xevia shook her head and began to cry.Uncontrollable crying that she didn't even know why she was crying for Xander. The man she hated. The mate she didn't expect. The mate she desperately wanted to leave behind. T
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
