Emory had moved on with life and was doing well at his duty post when the last batch of trackers he sent out came back empty handed. It was reported to him that although they searched to the borders of many packs, even almost into the human worlds, they couldn’t find her and he told them they could withdraw from the search. They had all done their bests after all. He had to deal with the fact that she would either come back home by herself someday or she would remain wherever she is and adapt to a new life. It was just heartbreaking that he would not be seeing her anymore or even if he has the chance, it would a time unknown to everyone, except the gods. He set up a farewell party for her in his room with a jar of liquor and the bracelet they both exchanged on their engagement day. As he was gulping down the alcohol, he was wondering why he could not even feel the mate bond, it neither went dead nor beat. It only lied dormant. If it was beating then he’d have an assurance that she wo
The leader entered with a big stride as she was already late for the meeting. She rushed in to find them being separated after the fight but just calmly went to have her seat and everyone rushed to find their too.Silence graced the room as they all waited for her to speak but she only sat there with her eyes closed. The wounded wolf was holding a scarf one of the members gave her to her neck in order to stop the bleeding while waiting for the next step.Finally the leader tapped the table and opened her eyes, pointed to the both of them to stand to their feet for their judgment.“We are already being mocked at enough and ridiculed but you both are fighting? This is the time when we should be more united than ever but you are pressing on each other’s neck instead. This is not what should be happening amidst us! What happened to talking everything out smoothly? Do you have to resolve to violence?” the leader scolded but Kimble could not take it again.She is naturally an easygoing pers
Alpha Braden of Lily pack had heard of the disappearance of Freya who was the mate to Emory, His Beta’s son. He and Draco has a great relationship with the Beta because they were all friends as they grew up so he wanted to console him. Draco also is a very loyal servant to the palace and the pack at large even though he was not a messenger but he is more like a great advisor to the Alpha who has a solution to issues most times. He invited Draco over to the palace so they could have a talk and probably help him find a way to look for his missing child. Draco arrived at the palace at noon after parting with his mate who left for the Omega’s meeting and was ushered in by the maids working at the Alpha’s chamber. Immediately Alpha Braden sensed his presence, he left what he was doing and went to give him a warm hug. He understood the fact that he was trying all his best to stay strong for his mate, if he cries or break down then who would console her or help her out of her painful phase?
REMY’S POVWhen the priestess suggested the drinking of water of confession, I was shocked and scared at the same time because it was known for its immense power. One part of me wanted her to regain her memories but the other part was hesitant, what if she gets hurt? What if something goes wrong and everything gets worse? She might not be the nicest to me but I understand her fully.Julia is someone that is hated by almost everyone except the Alpha who is her father and the Beta who has nothing against her. When it turned out that I was her mate, my father didn’t even oppose or disapprove but he was worried I’d get caught between the royal brawl.I had no choice than to care for her ever since then but she strangely, doesn’t want me. She avoided me for months before she finally decided to punish me with coming over to her place thrice a day to prove myself worthy.Since I have a simple personality, I didn’t find it weird or absurd and she’s also someone of higher status so she has the
“I was only thinking of how to get your memories back so I could punish those who did this to you and didn’t think about the consequences it might have on my poor daughter. I am so sorry that I almost made you go through something so dangerous. Forgive the foolishness of this your father who only wants the best for his child” The Alpha apologized to the princess and she quickly spoke up in response, mixed with happiness. She smiled as she bowed briefly to the Alpha, her hands folded in front of her in respect. “I know that you do not mean evil for me father, I am so indebted to you for being concerned about me daily” she stated elegantly, her cheeks puffing up in a victorious smile. The water of confession situation was solved and Priestess Lexie was asked to pour back the water to the goblet, and without delay she carried out the order. The priestess proceeded with the cleansing ritual as she did all she wanted to do into the huge bowl of water that was already provided. She read a
I ran back to the check if the maids at the cleansing ritual were still around but I couldn’t find any of them no matter how hard I searched. Even though Remy was confused about my attitude, he still stuck with me and was finding whatever it is that I was looking for with me.After a desperate search that lasted for almost twenty minutes, I finally gave up when I heard the palace maids talking about them leaving. With a huge sigh, I staggered to the wall to stand properly and Remy rushed to help me but I only shouldered his hands off from me.I made sure to take enough breaths and head back to the room, hoping that nothing will spring forth from this uneasy feeling all over me. Bea kept sighing, making me restless but after a while, I told her to forget about it and if at all anything arises from it then we will find something to do about it.After ensuring that I was safe in my room and my food was brought to me, Remy bowed out of my room but I didn’t forget to warn him that he shoul
Draco filled Kimble in on the Alpha’s move and help towards them as soon as he got home and she couldn’t stop thanking him with tears in her eyes even though the probability of hearing her from that distance was less than zero.She decided to hope positively this time around and not jinx it with negative thoughts so she got up to her feet and went inside to start cleaning of all a sudden to the surprise of Draco. She started the cleaning from Freya’s room and didn’t stop until the whole house which has been dirty and disorganized for days were sparkling clean.Draco didn’t make a move to stop her and instead assisted her so she could gain strength and hope from him as they work in pairs. For hours, they kept working in the same space and it was safe to say that was the longest hours they had used together, doing things for the past thirty years. They had always done things in different space and time so they didn’t have the chance to be closer this way and Draco has always been busy w
REMY’S POVI was moving to the Alpha’s chamber when I saw Julia and her two maids moving down to the archery field with bow and a pouch of arrows with them. I wanted to ignore them because that was her normal routine but I was curious of how her performance would be now that she haven’t practiced in weeks.They already started by the time I made my resolution to witness the session but I was appalled by what I experienced, she was below worse. I have never seen anyone so bad at archery like that, she couldn’t even shoot pass her feet.Although I had ton of questions and concerns in my head, I held myself back instead of approaching her to ask them right away, I was waiting for the right time. The moment she became frustrated, she turned to her maids and lashed out on them for being the ones that made her pass through such stress even though she had clearly told them that she was not interested in the archery.The poor maids immediately started groveling at her feet and pleading for th
I also started taking some lessons about the pack and the palace etiquettes too so I wasn’t idle. I postponed the training session till he would be done with his exams. I didn’t want to serve as a disturbance even though he wouldn’t count it as one but I couldn’t hold it anymore one day and went to visit him in the library. I had taken my time to make him the honey biscuit snacks that he said was his favorite and marched to the library on the last day of his preparation. He was to take the exams the following day outside the pack where his teachers would be examining him in different aspects. “Hey!” I called out to him and waved with a big smile at the library’s door One could tell from his face that suddenly brightened up that he was so happy to see me “How is it going? Are you getting the hang of it?” I asked and walked in “I am trying my best” he sighed. His eyes were a bit puffy and swollen, he had been reading nonstop and it was easy to tell that his sleeping schedule had be
“Did I love Julia truly?” he asked again and I kept my gaze, waiting for his answer“I did love her but I wouldn’t say as much as I love you. When we were mated, I told her that I wouldn’t do it since I couldn’t feel the attraction even though we were mates and she told me to just pretend. She said she didn’t mind all the love and all that as long as I can protect her and also help her out in her missions. Since I didn’t hate her too, I just accepted and we had no problem. I did all she asked for and I never pressured her, I waited by her side for five years to see her decision which she recently made by rejecting me” he answered without breaking the gaze lock we hadA sigh dropped from me at what he said and I stepped back. His eyes wondered in confusion but I ignored that and just swept my hair back in anger.“That brat! How dare she use you and discard you that way? I mean you are everything a lady could ever ask for! You protect, help, guide and guard! You listen well, you are han
For months, I wasn’t allowed to step out of the house without adequate protection. My dramatic parents even hired guards to follow me out anytime I had to something outside the house. At the end of the fifth month, I had to fight them about it and told them that I was strong enough to defend myself and they eventually withdrew the guards.That afternoon, I was in the house knitting in my free time when the door to my room opened“I have to deliver some sweaters but I am tired right now. I will take them there in the evening” My mother said to me as she came inside my room to check up on me since I was there all day“Give them to me. I will deliver them on your behalf” I proposedShe was excited at my offer, it was the reason why she was there obviously. She wanted me to go out on her behalf but didn’t want to tell me directly. The destinations I had to deliver the sweaters to, were far apart so it took some hours before I was done and came back home.My mother ran to tell me about the
I didn’t know what to say at first so I just continued staring at her till she spoke up.“Was the life in the palace bearable? It must not have been easy to pretend that you were the Princess” she finally askedI nodded my head twice, softly and responded. “It was a bit bearable. The doctor’s report gave me the pass I needed” “The doctor’s pass?” her brows curved in confusion“Yea. I woke up to get a report that I had lost my memories even though they were intact” I confirmed and a smile flashed through her lips“Doctor Dax haven’t stopped jumping into conclusions” she murmured but it was loud enough for me to hear“So I heard that you insisted on going back to your pack” she added and I confirmedA little time of silence followed as we both stared at each other without saying a word.“Why don’t you stay though? The palace is wide enough to contain us” she proposed but I only laughed and shook my head“I would have loved to do that but my place is not here. It would be awkward to sta
Uncle Anson found out from one of the soldiers that saw the Prince walking to the flower field and knew that he might have seen the vampire sucking the lad he captured for him. Immediately, he got in contact with the vampires’ side and told them that they have to strike unannounced because the Prince was already catching up on them.They had waited for the Prince to come back to the border and entered the pack unnoticed through the help of Uncle Anson who was in charge of the border. Unknown to them, the other side also had their plans ready so they weren’t caught unprepared.He had wanted to take over the pack with the help of the humans so he sold the captured wolves from other packs to the human world by letting them by through their own packs as a route for years and got money in return. The minister in the human world couldn’t help him since wolves were thousand times stronger than the humans but connected him with the vampire world who could help him out.Over the years, he had
JULIA’S POVEver since the day I told Freya about the plans of the vampire and what the minister said before we brought him to justice alongside the café owner that was involved in the wolfs trafficking, I started making plans about how to go back home.Two days after, Oneiros suddenly woke up in the midnight and told me that we needed to move the following morning because she could see ruins and danger on my pack. We were not prepared to leave yet but we had no choice to be on our way and there was no enough time to alert Freya.“I just hope that they are preparing hard over there” I sighed as I grabbed unto the small bag and slung it over my shoulder while I took Onieros by the hand“I know a shortcut to the werewolves’ packs. I am sure that we can find your pack easily when we get to one” Giles stated and I noddedI only planned for him to give me the directions and go back home since that meant our assignments with each other was done. We got to the last stop before my pack and we
FREYA’S POVI finally remembered that I had seen the currency from Uncle Anson and raced back to the library to tell Remy that I had found the place I saw it and told him where. He couldn’t process the reason why he would have it and tried to give excuses that it might have been a souvenir he received from the passing human merchants at the border but I was not convinced. It was too many to be tagged as a souvenir and I was sure there was something else fishy going on. He had too much pointing at him to be pure.“I think we need to include the Prince at this time. He needs to know what’s happening in the pack so we can all prepare” I suggested to Remy who in turn told me to calm down and find a solid evidence before taking a step since it involves the Alpha’s uncle“You know Julia also told me about the vampire plan. We have to alert the appropriate quarters as soon as possible. This fight cannot be won if fought silently” I insisted and right there, the Prince walked in on us“What f
I couldn’t sleep well after the Princess left because of what she said. It was what I had been waiting for all the days of my life but now that she mentioned it, I felt reluctant to leave. I was used to the palace and everyone around there, I was starting to know them and also build relationship with them, to be sincere, I was also in love with Remy even though I knew I shouldn’t do that.“I honestly do not know what to do” I sighed under the huge blanket and slowly drifted off to sleep after a long night of tossing and turning***The sun was high in the sky before I woke up thanks to my tiredness and I decided to spend each passing day meaningfully as from that morning. I drafted out everyone I wanted to spend each day with and what I wanted to do with and for them so I would have enough time to say a proper goodbye before the next Friday that the Princess would come back to my dreams.I got several bundles of yarn in different colors and sat inside all day, knitting several pieces
I knew that would be the next question they would ask and I was ready to provide the answer on the condition that none of them would make any move on Emory until I was ready to do so. From their talk, it was evident that he was now the acting Beta in place of his father and his governance was a bit ruthless.After telling the story of how I ran away and what happened between me and Ansel, their jaws were on the floor. They could not believe Emory could do all I had said because of how he pretended to love me unconditionally but actually had another plan for me.“You son of the devil! How could you do that her?” my mother growled and charged at Ansel who didn’t avoid her even though he could since he saw her coming. He probably didn’t dodge because he believed he deserved it.“It was not his fault. He was also blackmailed!” I shouted in defense and rushed to hold my mother backAfter all the ruse, she finally helped me treat the bite. “As much as I want to understand you, I hope you al
