Chapter 8 Kora POV “I don’t care how you all stink, you never told me you’ll be gone for this long I would have followed you all to the forest” I heaved a deep sigh, feeling very warm over their presence. “Well we’re back now” Ras chuckled, “I’ll be the one bathing you since you’re stained with our dirt” Aeson chortles as he wrapped his hands round my face. “I would love that” I conceded to Aeson’s words as he carried me in his arms, I knew he was taking me to his chambers. “If you don’t mind, I would love to bath with all your brothers, so I prefer you all rinse up and meet me in the pool” I divulged as I stared at the smile on Ras’s face as well as Lane and Cace, I knew they would be thrilled to be sharing the same space with me.“Fine, we’ll be back” Aeson motioned me to stand on my two feet as I watched them trudge into the house.“They’re back now, so don’t forget our deal. It’s an agreement” “Matrine!!!” she walked past me hastily and realized that the voice calling her w
Chapter 9Aeson’s POV “It’s nothing you should be worried about dear, now that you’re in the pool, Cace would teach you how to swim and next time we’ll be swimming t together and it would be a competition” I divulged as she conceded to my words, we’re all seated in the pool,I felt like ordering wine when she conceded to my words. “That would be fun”“Yes seems we have a visitor, Ryan is here” Lane divulged, I knew this was a time to stop fooling around and attend to matters of the pack, and my brothers would be there as well excluding Kora. “Has he returned?” I asked as we all stood in unison, Lane was already out of the pool, he signaled Ryan to meet us in our usual spot. The master’s bedroom which was my late fathers room before he died. “It wasn’t a room now, it served many purposes, punishment space, an enclosed space for meetings that wouldn’t be heard by anyone. Ryan’s meeting was one that shouldn’t be heard by anyone” My thoughts as I wrapped the towel around my waist. “I’
Chapter 10 Kora POV As soon as I stepped out of the pool, Matrine stood there wearing a wide smile on her face. “Do you really want to know what’s in my mind right now?” Matrine asked, Answering her question with a question of mine was the only way I could get to know her thoughts, I inquired; “Of course I would like to know what you’re thinking right now, so tell me what’s on your mind Matrine?” She hugged me instantly after my words, I could see the enormous weight of happiness she carried. “You don’t know how I feel right now being your handmaiden, I don’t really know what I would have done without you. I’ve thought of commuting suicide just to let myself go of this job but it’s practically the only way I get to have free food, free shelter and gold to take care of my needs” she divulged, “We’ll I’ve eased your burden, in return you’ll attend to my needs” I maintained my bossy composure, it was evident in my voice. “Yes master, you’re my master as well as your mates. I
Chapter 11 Author’s POV “This isn’t what we proposed for the last meal before the mission to get Alpha Colon back to paying his dues. The rest of the day was silent and it was after Kora challenged Aeson, I’ve never seen this side of Kora before. She stood for what’s right and detested Aeson’s words on Ras, Ras felt happy because he was the one seated with Kora. She had her hands under the table which I needed no soothsayer to tell me that Koran’s left hands were resting on Ras’s thighs.” Cace’s thoughts as he stared at Ras and Kora. Lunch was over, everyone decided to go to their rooms to sleep a bit before leaving, Kora felt like spending time with Aeson, no one talked bad about it since she was going to apologize to him for the use of her words. “Why don’t we eavesdrop on their conversation?” Ras proposed. “If you don’t have better things to do, be the guest and don’t let us into childish habits” Lane retorts as he disappears into his chambers. “You need to settle the disco
Chapter 12 Ras’s POV I was impressed at his plan, I couldn’t believe my brother could come up with this great plan, it seemed so simple and very easy to implement, the perfect disguise and the perfect plan to ease off the stress of Cace’s artwork all over the house. Meanwhile when we got to Lane’s chambers, it was locked but being good at locks I unlocked his door with ease, Cace walked in chanting one of his worst traditional songs ever sung. Lane opened his eyes wearing a huge frown on his face, he needed no soothsayer to tell him that Cace had this all planned out to disturb his sleep. “Why did you both decide to do this at this time?” Lane growled as Cace mocked him in a manner that Lane had no choice than to join in the laughter, he remembered the last time Cace did this to me. “It’s been a while anyone tried stopping my sleep right in the middle of it,” Lane divulged, “Cace came up with a great plan and we decided to let you know first before taking it to Aeson, he wou
Chapter 13 Author’s POV “Have you ever wondered what’s like to have Ras in my arms? It would be filled with so much memories and I would never cheat on him, he would be my lover forever” Ramona stutters as she filled her head with the thoughts of Ras. “I would hold onto Aeson, his broad chest I would want to rest my head on after we’ve made love” Jada conceded to her words. “ I would love Cace obeying my orders, pleasing me to my satisfaction. He’s the quiet one so I would take advantage of his meek nature and use it to my own benefit” Felicity smirked, Ramona shrugged her shoulders. “You’re young but your thoughts are matured, you want dominance over a man when it’s supposed to be the opposite, for a second I don’t regret having you as my sister” Ramona felt very impressed by her thoughts, she has never thought of exercising dominance over a man. “So you regret having me as a sister then” “No I dont, why would I regret having you as my sister. You’re the fiercest amongst us
Chapter 14 Kora POV I couldn’t believe sharing the same bed with Aeson, it felt so beautiful and I enjoyed every second of it. I guess he left that was why I didn’t feel his touch and my wolf woke me up. “I have to find my men, I wonder where they must have gone to. I hope they didn’t leave without me again.” I hurriedly walked down the stairs to the living room and was startled by their presence. “You all should wear clothes, come on there are ladies in this building. You have maids and a grown woman as well” I complained as they all laughed at my words when their eyes were glued to the Head of servants. “You all need to cover your skin” I persisted on my words, I can’t have my men showing off their abs to everyone, they’re meant for my eyes only and not the public. “You have to get used to seeing us this way, sometimes we lay underneath the sun naked, it’s not weird but trying to accept nature as it is” Ras chuckled as he made his chest bounce repeatedly. “Now you want t
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 164 Author's POV Three Months Later "It's been two months since I've been avoiding the Lycans; I can't even have a word with them. I hate the fact that they thought they could deceive me by bringing a witch so she could undo what she did. There's no way in hell I would believe that a witch controlled my dreams to make me think that they were the ones who killed my parents," Kora said to herself as she prepared for classes. Martha waited for Amelia to leave so she could discuss things with Kora. "For how long are you going to keep playing these games? You told me that they're your mates, but you're acting like you don't even know them since you woke up. It's more like you hate them," Martha spoke in whispers, knowing that it would be hard for anyone to hear a word that she said, since the door was distant from their position. "They're the ones who killed my parents." "They denied it and even proposed that the witch open your eyes to the truth. Why haven't you agreed t
chapter 163 Cace's POV I wondered why she accused us of killing her parents; it's so hard to tell what she wants to believe now. Even if we get Allen to make her believe our words, she won't accept it. It would be like pouring water on a stone. To an extent, I didn't like the fact that I felt odd watching her relax her head on the bed. I felt like leaving because I wanted to join my brothers. "Hey, what's going on here?" I asked myself as I watched the beds shake vigorously. I could tell it was a panic attack, and it would only mean one thing: she wasn't stable and must have sustained internal injuries that the Healer didn't know about. "You need to leave; I'll take it from here," the Healer divulged, but I couldn't leave. Why would I leave my mate in the hands of someone I didn't trust? I would watch him perform his duties and then leave so I could keep an eye on Kora," I said to myself as he realized that I wasn't going anywhere. He proceeded to stabilize her, and I was glad he
chapter 162 Alpha Damek's POV Lost in my thoughts was all I could achieve through the night, and this wasn't what I wanted. Stanley won't see me coming; that could be the only leverage I have. He's going to think that Alpha Cornelius's Beta would be the one leading the fight, so it would be right that he meets his ideal enemy on the battlefield while I and his men take the Redwoods. A dozen guards would be able to protect the pack. That would be the window we need to take over the pack and return to help Alpha Cornelius's men. It would be an ambush that he won't forget, because if he doesn't give us the antidote, the day he steps into that battlefield will be his last. "I can't wait to let them know that I've found a plan, and it's going to work because it won't be countered. This is my divine move, and I don't know if I can trust Collins to let him in on this," I said to myself as I watched the epic sunrise. I was glad that the curtains were closed; if not for that, I would have
chapter 161 Author's POV The Lycans were waiting for Kora to regain consciousness. Lord Lucifer checked on her health and assured the Lycans that she would be fine; all they had to do was wait. "Do you think the impact was too much? I didn't," Cace was interrupted by Aeson, who wasn't happy with the outcome. "Now you want to talk about the impact, Cace? I suggest you shut it and don't speak a word. Hope that she opens her eyes so we can understand if she's Kora or Lucas." Aeson didn't even let Cace ask Ras a complete question. "I wonder why he's pissed at what I did. If not for my timely intervention, she would have escaped, and we don't know how long it would take for us to find her again. I did what was best, and no one appreciates me for that," Cace thought as he watched Ras and Aeson take a walk with Lord Lucifer. "Hey, are you pissed at what happened?" "I don't know why everyone thinks it's my fault. I only tried to stop a very fast werewolf, and we collided with the tree
chapter 160 Aeson's POV "What's wrong with you, lady? Don't you know who we are and what we want? We're not here to hurt you, and you should know that there are a lot of things that you don't know about me or my brothers, but you should know this: we have someone who won't hesitate to chop off your head with his claws if you don't watch your words," I divulged as Ras approached her, knowing that he was the one I referred to. "Ras, just hold back. I know she won't repeat this act ever again," I sighed, wearing a smile on my face. "Kora, the leader of the Protectors, would return in one piece, and if she doesn't, we'll plan her funeral." "Well, I would like to tell you this, Lord Lucifer, and I know you know nothing about this: Kora is the monster, and she's the one who is going to make this a whole lot easier when we have her wrapped up in a dungeon where we would try to get the monster out of her," I sighed as he slammed his hands on the table. "I can't let you hurt her after wh
chapter 159 Kora's POV "Yes, they did kill my parents, but trust me, they don't know what's going to happen when I have all it takes to defeat them." I had to let her know that the death of my parents won't be in vain. When I have all I want, I will have them on their knees, and they won't have the leverage of ever seeing the next moonlight because I will make sure they're dead. "Are you trying to wage war against the Lycans? You and I know how sick that is, and you won't be able to survive that." She was right in her words, but she didn't listen to what I said. If she had paid attention, she wouldn't have asked this question. "That's why I said the words 'when I have all it takes to defeat them.' Do you think I would go to a gun battle with a hoe?" I heaved a deep sigh as we got closer to the forest. "Yeah, you're right. Sorry for my words. We have to find Kate, and I suggest you're the brains, so why don't you solve this one?" She chortled. I could tell that she was stressed f
chapter 158 Alpha Damek's POV "Do you know what it means to fight against Redwoods? It's more like we're going to be sacrificial lambs before them," Cage suggested. I wondered if he was thinking of letting himself die. "Not if we join our forces together. As the acting Alpha of this pack, I would go back to the pack, bring the whole pack with me, and make sure he pays for what he did to our Alpha." He interrupted my meeting with Cage. "Are you sure you can handle this?" I asked as he raised his right hand to his chest. I knew he wanted me to have his word. With Cornelius's men and my expertise, we stand a better chance at ending the reign of Stanley and taking Redwoods to be a part of my pack, gaining more land, more hands in the growth and development of the pack, and lots more from their spoils after what's left of the war. "Going against Stanley is like going to a river when you know you can't swim." "But someone who knows how to swim doesn't know how to catch fish and d
chapter 157 Cace's POV "She must have done it because she needs powers to make you all pay for the death of her parents." Allen joked about this, but it wasn't funny considering what I knew anyone would do in her shoes to the people who killed her parents. She's definitely coming for our heads, but we have to find a way to make it into Dark Knight Academy and become residents so we can have Kora and keep her contained long enough to get her away from Lucas. "We have to get through to that school?" "Amelia is the one that I suggest you go to. Since she's one of the protectors, she would assist you and lead you to Lord Lucifer. He decides if you're going to stay or not." This advice seemed a lot forced; I guess he wanted us at his pack because he needed more hands and we looked very strong. "How about one of you guys stay back just to watch the developments with me?" "I thought you would never ask, Alpha Xander, but the thing is we all have to be there at the same time, and we
chapter 156 Kora's POV She was dumbfounded. I knew she wasn't going to take anything from this, so this was more like a charade that I had to avoid. "Just keep your answer to yourself, and let's focus on what we're doing right now. We have to handle this wall, and I need to be certain I'm leaving the Wastelands in the hands of two protectors and not just ladies." My eyes were glued to Martha; I knew what she wanted, and I was waiting to hear it from her lips. "What do you want?" "You know what I want has nothing to do with you, and you have to be certain about what you choose, dear, because your decisions are my orders. So if you're going to find Kate, so am I." She answered my question just the way I expected it, unlike Amelia, who was scared of the monster's abilities. "So, Martha, you're going to accompany me while you handle the affairs down here, Amelia. And trust me, don't get your head wrapped up around him. You're a protector, not a desperate lady searching for ways to
