The messenger wolves Alpha Braden sent to the human world in order to find Freya finally arrived there after few days. The world was although not strange to them since that was not the first time they would be visiting there, it surely had taken a great turn.“Look at those huge skyscrapers and billboards. This place really changed a lot in just a few years we haven’t come by” Giles exclaimed, looking around the city.“At this point, we need to blend in as soon as possible before we get caught. Twelve years is really not a few years if we think about it” Kian countered.The first place they went to was the bar where they knew information flow faster than every other joints and as soon as they came into the bar, they tried to read the room. They saw another versions of phones in people’s hand and knew that the one they brought was out of use.“Humans surely are impatient, they have invented so much in the span of few years” Kian said. He successfully pulled out a chair beneath the huge
During the last remembrance rite, Princess Julia was bent on hunting for the parrot. She wanted to break the notion that only the male wolves are best at hunting so she volunteered to find the live parrot instead of Prince Bain.The Alpha and Beta Eric tried their best to talk her out of it but she was adamant. She argued with the fact that she cannot swim so she cannot get access to the mountain lilies and when they saw that she wouldn’t yield, they allowed her to go in search of the live parrot.She wandered in the thick bush for close to three days and found nothing. Out of the shame of defeat, she stayed in the bush longer and finally passed out due to exhaustion, she woke up after the remembrance rite was done to face a loud and long scolding from everyone. Regret washed over her with shame as the words bit her skin and seeped into her body, she couldn’t even talk back because they were right after all.It was then she promised to learn how to swim in order to stick to mountain l
EMORY’S POVIt has been close to a month Freya went missing and everything was slowly returning to its place. I miss her from time to time and it didn’t feel like she was missing, I was always hoping she would come back the next day, it was like this every day.Constantly visiting her family to check on them and assuring them that she would be found soon was part of my schedule since I was once her fiancé. I balanced everything too at the training center and I was back to my normal self in no time.It didn’t change the fact that I was still going out with Selene, we had countless sleep overs at each other’s place and I visit the clinic just to see her frequently.“What if she never comes back? What if she’s dead? I can’t even feel her bond anymore so I am not in the wrong” I kept telling myself every time I wanted to feel guilty.“You have to wake up to reality! She’s gone and would not be back again. You cannot even feel the mate bond that you both shared. Also if she comes back, the
At the mention of miscarriage, both Remy and Lacey stared at Hailey in silence because whatever she just declared was absurd to their hearings, even Hailey herself. How can the Princess be pregnant? Who is responsible for the pregnancy? Also how can she be pregnant without her herself knowing that fact?They wanted to argue further but he quickly shut them up so they can at least attend to her first and give her the necessary treatment.***REMY’S POVI couldn’t understand what Hailey was saying about the Princess yet but saving her was the first thing that crossed my mind. Earlier that morning, I woke up quickly to dress and head to the royal mansion when Lacey’s messenger came to deliver her message that the Princess left without me already.“She left already? Why? Did she want me to stay back?” I questioned in confusion“I do not know the details but I was told that you should still come around by Lacey” the messenger responded, bowed and left for the palace.I was overwhelmed with
Giles and Kian finished their findings for the day and got to know that there were many wolves in the human world than they had imagined. They took a bus from the east station in order to visit the secret pack in the human world to have a discussion with other wolves.They met the medics treating some wolves that had several degree of wounds ranging from their heads to their whole body. Some even had to shift to their wolf forms in order to get enough treatment.“What is happening to them? Why are they wounded this much?” Kian asked checking them out in their wounded places.“None of them here can remember how they sustained their injuries and that has been really frustrating” the nurse replied him swiftly. “How come?” he mumbled, looking around to see different werewolves on the floor waiting for their treatment.“They have been declared missing from their packs for a long time. We don’t even know where they have been all these while for them to show up like this” she responded“How
EMORY’S POVI was told that I slept for close to six hours before I finally woke up after suddenly fainting back at the house where we went to investigate the missing wolf. Never in my life have I ever felt that much pain, my chest was throbbing hard and the pain was too extreme for even a wolf like me.It felt as if my heart was tied with silver chain, then silver pins were being stuck in one after the other. The pain was slightly similar to that of the mate bond but it was far more painful than that so I couldn’t even guess if it was the reason. Ever since Freya went missing, I never felt our bond, it was as if she died so even if this is a signal, it shouldn’t be this painful was my conclusion.Immediately I draped down the bed, my father matched in to check up on me when he heard I was awake. “How are you feeling? Is there anything I can do for you?” were the words that flew out of his mouth.“I am fine, I don’t need you to do anything” I responded, my voice almost crackingHis fa
ANSEL’S POVThe guilt was too much for me and I was losing myself every day, I figured out that if I don’t take a step of confession, then I might lose myself forever. After so much thoughts, I decided to visit Freya’s family to confess my crime, washed up and marched out only for my compound to get stomped with multiple soldiers who came with the accusation that my parents were criminals.“How on earth are they criminals? What could their offense be? They have been the best messengers in the pack for decades and had the favor of everyone at the cabinet of the Alpha. They had been on a mission for the past two years and I was patiently waiting for them to come back” I questioned strongly because I couldn’t understand the nonsense Emory was spewing in front of me.Even though I knew his rank was clearly higher than mine but I was not in the position to respect any rank or hierarchy now.“I will make sure you experience what it feels like to be a family of traitors” Emory threatened bef
FREYA’S POVRemy left me on the floor after I woke up without helping me up. The look on disgust on his face was glaring and threatening but he didn’t say anything which made it worse. I tried to open my mouth to make some explanations but no word came out, my chest still felt stuck and tight.“I… I didn’t…” I stuttered but he didn’t wait for me to say anything before he exited the room.For days, he didn’t come to visit even though I became terribly sick due to the miscarriage I had. Although the doctor he assigned for me came to treat me with secrecy of the top level. I spent so many days on treatment to get rid of all the blood from my body.I was so blessed to have Lacey and Hailey beside me as my maids because they were so cooperative. They made sure no one entered my chambers or noticed that I was sick. Every of my tonics and other treatment evidences were disposed perfectly in secret.“How are you feeling now? Is there something we can do for you?” Lacey asked with her forehead
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
