Chapter 15 Cace’s POV I don’t know what’s gotten into Kora, I want her attention now more than ever. It would hurt not to have her attention when I needed it the most, that’s why they knew I would be the one driving the carriage with them in it along with my paintings, I can’t believe this, I would be the rider and they would enjoy her company until we get together borders of the southern province. “This is planned out, is this why she decided to do this” “Have you lost your senses Cace, Kora loves you that’s why she did this so don’t judge her wrongly” my wolf warned as I chuckled. I shaded off the thoughts as I walked down to the stable, I was a bit surprised that Lane was still there. “What’s wrong Lane? You’ve been here for a while” “Yeah, one of the wheels is missing and I can’t seem to find the right fit” He divulged as I wondered how the wheel of a carriage would go missing, one wheel. “What’s wrong? You have to let Aeson know about this, we can get a new carriage fro
Chapter 16 Author’s POV SOUTHERN PROVINCE. Alpha Colon was a bit perplexed staring at his beta. “Do you think this is the right path Alpha Colon? The Lycan kings would back down without a fight and you know what that means and what effect it would have on the kingdom, we have to find a way not this way Your Majesty” He divulged wearing a smile on his face, he knew how dangerous the Lycan kings were and pulling out from the Toyal house, the Seventh Moon pack wasn’t good for the pack. “Whose side are you on? You’re my Beta and my friend, stand by me. Don’t you dare stand there and judge me for standing against their will? They’re nothing but mere kids” Alpha Colon laughed at the Lycan kings, caring less about what they’ve done in the past. “They obeyed the orders of their father, they’re weak now that their backbone is gone. Since he’s dead, why would I pay dues to little ones… to think I even watched them grow” Alpha Colons’s thoughts as he waited for his Beta’s response to his
Chapter 17 Ras POV “When we get to the Seventh Moon pack you'll decide whether it’s a dream or not Alpha Colon” I chuckled as I stared at the old man shaking. “So you decided to kidnap me, young urchins, how dare” I slammed his head on the back of the carriage startling Kora who screamed in haste. “You used a woman to trick me into following you and what happened to my guards” Aeson cared less about his words as we all kept mute until we arrived at the Royal house. The guards were surprised as we dragged him into the house, I knew the rumors would spread, but what we wanted it’s the aftermath of the torture for saying those words behind our back. “You don’t know why they call me Ras, I’m a symbol of violence and destruction. You don’t have to get yourself worked up, we’re just beginning and please do not make this easy for us” I begged him going down on my knees, I wished all my brothers would leave him in my hands. “I have to, I’ll pay the treaties immediately” He shuddered
Chapter 18 Author’s POV SAGED WOLF PACK Alpha Galen was thrilled when his daughter arrived after her first message to Alpha Colon. Ramona bowed before her father before letting him know what transpired between her and the Alpha. “Did he get my message?” “Yes he did but he has his conditions and on my way to his pack, I met the Lycan kings. They visited him not to fight him over his decision but Alpha Cace distributed his artwork to the people and disappeared” Ramona divulged, she knew that she would have collected a piece for herself but she respected herself and hated to stand with peasants. “Why would he choose to do that? Something’s not right” Alpha Galen retorts, knowing it would take a while before Cace decides to give out his art for free. “Who knows if they used it as a cover-up to achieve a goal in his pack? They must have infiltrated his pack and gotten what they wanted before leaving. The Lycan kings are very wise so I expect the unexpected when it comes to their a
Chapter 19 Author’s POV Alpha Galen was happy to see the Witch of the West knowing how long she’d come to his air whenever he called her. “It’s been ages since I set my eyes on you and you haven’t even aged a bit. Still having that beautiful skin” “Yes I can’t help it, you know the sacrifices go a long way to keep me and make me stronger, more powerful than ever. I can’t cease now when I haven’t found someone who I would pass the torch to,” She chuckled wearing a smile on her face as he asked her to take her seat. “So let me know why I’m here, I want to know why you have chosen to summon me after so many years?” She heaved a deep sigh before using her spell over the wine to detect if it was poisoned. “I need you to plant discord in someone’s mind about the personality of her mates” Alpha Galen could care less about her old tricks, he wasn’t dumb enough to poison a witch. “There are better ways to kill a witch so I don’t want to kill you” he knew she read his thoughts so she
Chapter 20 Authors POV “Tell me father what do you call a man that feels it’s the right thing to sell his daughter off to an old man to spend her remaining days with him? What if he dies in a short while? I would be addressed as a widow in my youth. Father have you ever sat for a second to imagine how traumatic it would be to me” Jada sobbed as she couldn’t control her tears, she let them flow ceaselessly. “I know Jada which is why I’ve returned to retrace my words, I’m sorry I proposed that to you. I would never let him get married to any of you. You are my Angel Jada. Never forget that” “But you just decided to sell me off to a man so you can gain total freedom from the Lycan kings, I know all these fathers and don’t think for a second that we don’t pay attention to what goes on in this house” Jada warned, letting her father know that she understood his plan from the onset and she’s not ready to allow it happen. “How did you know that?” “I know a lot father so don’t act like y
Chapter 21 Kora’s POV If Ras is trying to seduce me he’s good at his choice of words cause he moved me with his words but I don’t feel like letting him know his words are enough to have me on the edge. “Is that your way of saying you want me? It’s not working and if you don’t mind I would like to go check on Aeson” I chuckled, Ras has this piercing look. It felt more like he could see through my soul but I knew he could see nothing. I tried head not to think so he wouldn’t read my thoughts. “Are you walking out on our moment?” He marveled at the fact that I turned down his request, I made it look like he wasted his time on his choice of words. “I don’t know what’s wrong with your brother but it seems to me he needs care and attention so I’ll head down to the kitchen prepare a meal for him with my hands and go see what went wrong, he wouldn’t turn down a meal prepared by me” I patted his broad chests as I traced my footsteps back hoping that he would want me back or drag me back
Chapter 22 Author’s POV “He’s not dead so I don’t know why you’re getting yourself worked up about this” Lane chortles mocking Aeson’s reaction to something that they weren’t even thinking about. “I don’t think it’s the only issue bothering Aeson right now, who knows if there’s something he doesn’t want to tell us” Lane’s introspection before he was interrupted and returned his mind to reality. “Watch your tone Lane” Aeson barked, “Fine but you have to know this, when we impale pain on anyone we do it together. When we want to help others we do it together and we’ve not taken a life only if need be and you know that so I don’t see the reason why you’ll be up here getting drunk and feeling very miserable” Lane expressed his thoughts as Ras patted his shoulders. Lane understood his act. “Hey brother you and I know this isn’t good for the pack and for us as well. You chased her out of your room and now she’s out there wondering and lost in thoughts about you. That’s not how we b
Chapter 127 Kora's POV "You're safe with us so don't you worry about when we're leaving? We're leaving in good time and we would be back home before your Cornelius notices that you're gone." I assured her wearing a smile on her face to ease the fear that was written all over her face. "He won't suspect his best friend, Alpha Damek would be his last option and by that time you're with the man that loves you so much and then you can move on with your life with Cage" I added as I realized my words calmed her nerves, despite her breathing profusely she calmed it down to a minimum when I mentioned her spending her life with Cage. "I love Cage so much that sometimes I wonder how he feels when he sees me around him. It's a bit hard to say this but I know what I did was wrong when I got to him. It's a hard thing so to say, I tried cheating and it got me what I wanted" She divulged as she held my hands. "Do you have a future with him?" "I don't have a future with Cage he's my second cha
Chapter 126 Author's POV "We check what they have and trade it for our passage" Aeson sighed as he stared at his brothers and Levi wondering where they were going to get the items to trade with the soldiers. "We don't have all the luxury of having those items" "If you all had freed me I would have made some materials with my spells so we can all end this once and for all" "We can't trust you, how about you hand over your book of spells and Levi here handles that for us and make those materials with your spells?" Cace's words left a smile on Aeson's face as he rubbed his right hand through his hair. "I'm proud of you Cace, always coming to our rescue with your brains. For a moment I thought of giving in to her demand" He divulged as Levi stared at Cace. "You want me to become a wizard?" Levi's tone amused everyone in the circle knowing that he's never tried casting a spell nor even seen a spell book so why would he be the one choosen for this kind of job it all seemed odd about
Chapter 125 Kora's POV "What do you tend to achieve now that you have me out of there? He's not going to stop until he gets what he wants" "What does he want from you?" "He married me because he was forced to, his father and my father had a deal in the past and it went south ways when his father turned his back against him and wanted him dead but my father got his revenge and in that light he betrothed me to his son and that's how we got married and ever since the pack has been merged together so he wants me dead so he can blame it on his anger and then he can get married to someone else, I mean An Alpha is entitled to many wives" She divulged as she sniveled, I knew she was scared. "Why didn't you tell anyone about it?" "Who would believe me? Everyone thinks he's the right man for me and since my father's pack is at stake, my uncle wants me married to him so we keep the pack together, I don't want that man. He's been beating me for so many years and I guess the maltreatment is
Chapter 124 Kora's POV "He's my friend, and I don't know what you're talking about. He's been my friend, and he's always going to be my friend. Why do I have a feeling that you know something I don't and you don't want to share it with me?" he asked as he held my hands. "Let's just say we let sleeping dogs lie. I need some rest. Can I be left alone for a while, please?" I asked, as I could see the look on his face; he wasn't pleased with my words or my actions. "Take all the time you need. I'll go hunting and find a meal for us to eat," he chuckled. "But by the time I return, you'll be able to tell me what's going on with you, and I'll have to understand your words. Is that understood?" he added, his tone commanding, showing his dominance over me. "I'll be able to tell you by then," I conceded to his words as I watched him leave. A few minutes after he left, Cage sauntered into the tent; he looked a bit worried. "It's time to leave. Alpha Damek only hunts for six hours, so we h
Chapter 123 Author's POV "That's the only way we ever get to pass through. Winter is coming, and the routes are going to get blocked, and the mountains will weaken, so we can't follow the short routes." "It would be better if you explained this on a map." "We don't have a map," Cace divulged, wondering why his brothers would ask for one. "If they needed a map, they would have gotten one right from the Saged Wolf Pack or back at home. She's the one leading the way, so she's our map. Why do we need a map?" Cace thought as he stared at Aeson. "We do need a map." "I don't think so. She's the one leading, so she's the map. She's the one who knows the best routes to follow, so whatever we do, we keep that window open, and she guides us." "Here's a dose of what the healer gave to me. This will stop her from making spells; it's a spell blocker. She can use all her body but cannot cast a spell," Cace divulged as he got off his horse and entered the carriage. He removed the ties from
Chapter 122 Kora's POV After breakfast, for the first time, I saw fear in Cage's eyes. I knew he was worried about his newfound lover, and at that moment, I could see the look on her face; she looked very worried. This was hard for me, knowing that we were leaving and it would be difficult for them to ever meet again unless she wanted to come over to our pack, which would be very suspicious. So, even if she would do that, it would be very late, with a lot of risks involved. Three hours of silence followed as I sat in the carriage with Cage; I could see the tears in his eyes. "Are those tears?" "She’s not safe with that man." "I don't understand your words," I felt very confused as to why he was sober about his safety, and I could tell that this was deeper than I thought. "He hits her and makes her go through a lot of pain. The smile you see every day is a mask she’s been wearing all these years, and it’s wearing off. She’s not safe there; I have to get her out of that mo
Chapter 121 Aeson's POV “Brothers, I need you to find where he is, and let's end this once and for all.” “How can you see me, Lycans? I'm becoming more powerful as the days go by. My master made sure of that. I don't know if you four would stand toe to toe with me when I find a vessel.” “You won't find a vessel,” the Witch divulged. “Master, I don't expect you to hope on that as well. I can find a vessel, but I'm searching for a long-lasting one. A vessel with a strong mind that cannot be breached by your spells. When I'm one with that vessel, you all are history. I will make sure I erase you from this surface of the earth, wipe out all your kind, and start the whole world with my bare hands. I'll destroy and rebuild; that's my first mission.” I wondered why he was letting us know his plans. It's only an unwise man who would let his enemies know of his plan. But Lucas is wise, and this is one of his games; he might be saying this to get into our heads and change the course of our
Chapter 120 Kora's POV Opening my eyes to Cage seated beside the bed made me smile, and I could tell how thrilled Alpha Damek was to see him. Even though he had bandages tied to that spot, Alpha Damek hugged him before realizing it. “Happy to see that you're alright and ready to leave with us.” “Yes, of course. I can't lie in there for more than half a day; it's impossible. I'm alright now. In a short while, it will heal properly, and I won't need these things around me,” he chuckled. “How're you doing, Kora?” “I'm good. I'm glad that you decided to show yourself to us. I guess you wanted this to be a surprise, and trust me when I say this: I'm happy that you're fine. How about the man who stabbed you?” “Are you talking about me?” Alpha Cornelius pushed the door open; it was then that I realized the doors were slightly ajar, and he had been listening to our conversation. When I talked about him, he decided to show himself. “This is good news; it's nice to see that you both are
Chapter 119 Author's POV "Those words of yours are inappropriate and you know it. She's below my standards and there's nothing I would ever have to do with her no connections so the earlier you all have that at the back of your mind the better for you. I've has enough of this Felicity taunts" Ras divulged as his brothers felt amused by his words. "Why would they keep taunting me about Felicity? She's nothing but a farce that's at the back of my mind she's no one to me not like I shared a connection with her... I don't want her and she doesn't want me and even if she does she can't have me so quitting this would keep my mind in one piece to a certain extent" Ras's thoughts as he waited for their response. "Well now that you've explained to us better I'll let him go but that's when I leave I don't want to set my eyes on him. He can be released when we're way past the borders of the pack" Aeson divulged as his words made a smile on Jada's face as she ran into his arms thanking him fo
