EAMON'S POV As we retreated from the scene of chaos and violence, the adrenaline coursing through our veins began to ebb, replaced by a somber awareness of the inevitable consequences of our actions. I glanced at Victor, my closest confidant, his face bearing the weight of our ruthless retaliation.Victor's voice was low, filled with a mix of concern and conviction. "Alpha, we've sent a clear message tonight. Alpha Jack will retaliate, and it won't be just any retaliation. Are you prepared for what's coming?"I nodded, my jaw clenched with determination. "We knew this would come. Off course We are ready for whatever he throws at us. Luka's death cannot go unanswered." Victor's gaze held mine, unwavering loyalty in his eyes. "Then we stand together, Alpha, against the storm that approaches."The journey back to our pack's territory was filled with an eerie silence, broken only by the sound of our boots against the forest floor. The weight of our actions pressed down on us, the knowle
Eamon's pov:The next morning, I was determined to make amends. Isadora's rejection still stung, but her health and the health of our baby took precedence above all else. I couldn't afford to let my ego stand in the way.I entered her chamber quietly, carrying a tray laden with a hearty breakfast and a vase of fresh flowers. Isadora lay on the bed, her expression distant and uninterested."Good morning, Isadora," I said softly, trying to keep my tone gentle.She glanced in my direction, her eyes filled with a mix of irritation and exhaustion. "What do you want, Eamon?"I set the tray down on her bedside table and took a seat beside her. "I'm unhappy with the distance between us I want to take care of you. I want to make things right."Isadora scoffed, her frustration evident. "You can't just bring me breakfast and flowers and expect everything to be okay, Eamon."I sighed, running a hand through my hair. "I know it's not that simple, but I want to try. I want to show you that I'm comm
Isadora's povI watched as Eamon left the room, a mixture of frustration and longing bubbling inside me. The way he had showered me with affection and attention this morning had been overwhelming. I knew he was trying to make amends, to bridge the chasm that had formed between us, but I wasn't sure if I was ready to let my guard down.Lisa, who had been my unwavering companion since my return, turned to me with a sympathetic expression. "Isadora, you have to admit, Eamon is trying. He's really putting in the effort to make things right."I sighed, running a hand through my hair. "I know, Lisa, but it's not that simple. There's so much baggage between us, so much hurt and mistrust."Lisa nodded, her eyes filled with understanding. "I get it, I really do. But I've also seen how much he loves you, Isadora. He's not perfect, none of us are, but he's trying to change, to be the Alpha you need."I looked at her, torn between my feelings of anger and the tiny ember of hope that still flicker
Eamon's povThe room was spinning, and my senses were dulled by the alcohol coursing through my veins. The thumping music, the laughter, the swirling lights - it all seemed like a blurry haze. The girl on my lap was whispering something in my ear, her words a distant murmur. None of it mattered.Then, a voice, a cry, cut through the fog. "Eamon!"I blinked, trying to focus, and there she was, Isadora, standing in the doorway. Her eyes were filled with anger, betrayal, and hurt. My heart sank like a stone."Isadora," I muttered, my voice slurred. "It's not what you think."But she didn't listen. She turned and ran, and I was left stumbling to my feet, chasing after her."Isadora, wait!" I called, but my words were clumsy, and my steps unsteady. I pushed through the crowd, desperate to catch up to her, to make her understand.As I stumbled after Isadora, the weight of my own drunkenness seemed to double, pulling me down like an anchor. My thoughts were a swirling mess of confusion and r
Eamon's povIn my study, I sank into my couch, my heart heavy with regret as I lit up a cigarette. Closing my eyes, I sought solace in the one presence that had always been with me, my wolf. "I know, I messed up," I whispered, addressing the beast within me.My wolf's response was a growl, filled with anger and disappointment. "You hurt our mate, Eamon. She's in pain because of you."I clenched my fists, feeling the weight of my actions bearing down on me. "I didn't mean to, you know. It just... it all spiraled out of my control."My wolf's response was a low, rumbling snarl. "That's no excuse. You need to make things right, Eamon, for her and for our pup, a happy mate means a happy pup."I nodded, a renewed determination taking hold. "I will, I promise. I won't rest until she forgives me."My wolf was the silent type, doesn't talk much unless when necessary and I liked it that way, they say a wolf is the reflection of a man's true self, a few of my pack members had wolf's that spoke
Eamon povMy heart thundered in my chest and adrenaline pumped into my veins as I sprinted down to the front gate of my pack to face Alpha Jack, a man driven by vengeance and pure hatred for me. My voice rang out, filled with both determination and a touch of anger, cutting through the silence"Jack," I yelled my words cutting through the tension like a knife, "I admire your confidence, I must commend you, It takes a lot of courage to walk into the den of a mad beast, which is why I'm curious, aren't you scared to die?""Hahahaha!! " Alpha jack laughed out loudly, a bitter sound that sent shivers down my spine. " I'm already dead, Eamon, haven't you realised?. You killed my mate's father, ripping away his heart, and now she's rejected me, breaking mine. What's there to live for?"He replied, emotion dead in his eyes, the gravity of his words hung in the air, a stark reminder of the event that went down that faithful night . But there was no turning back now."I see, I guess it's true
Eamon pov"Wolf bane!!! " I yelled Victor's suggestion hung in the air like a dark cloud, and I couldn't shake the feeling of unease it brought. As we walked back to the study, I turned to Victor, my voice edged with frustration. "Victor, I can't do that. Using wolf bane to poison Alpha Jack would be a betrayal of everything I stand for. It's true I want to kill him and win the duel, but I want to do it fair and square."Victor's brows furrowed, his frustration mirroring my own. "Alpha, this isn't just about winning a battle; it's about ensuring your safety. Alpha Jack is ruthless, and he won't hesitate to use any advantage he can get. We need to level the playing field, come to think of it, you think alpha jack wouldn't cheat if given the opportunity too? ."I stopped in my tracks, my gaze locked with Victor's. "I understand the risks involved in this battle, but I won't compromise my principles. My father taught me to fight with honor, or I don't fight at all."Victor let out a si
Eamon's pov I stormed away from the sorcerer's hut, my mind a whirlwind of doubt and frustration. The sorcerer's vision had left me deeply unsettled to be honest, despite my initial skepticism. As I descended the mountain, my steps heavy with the weight of uncertainty, I couldn't help but feel a profound sense of helplessness.Without a word, I stopped over at a nearby bar, the dimly lit interior offering a stark contrast to the blinding whiteness of the snow outside. I needed a drink to numb the turmoil in my mind, if only for a moment.I took a seat at the bar, the cool wood beneath my fingertips a welcome distraction. The bartender, a burly wolf with a grizzled beard, approached. "What'll it be, sir ?""Whiskey," I muttered, my voice low and filled with frustration.As I nursed my drink, I felt a presence beside me. It was Lisa I guess she finally caught up. Her usually cheerful demeanor was replaced by a somber expression, her eyes reflecting her concern."Eamon," she began softl
Isadora POVIn the months that followed, I enjoyed more peace in my life than I've ever experienced since the day I was born, I know it sounds like a something out of a fairytale but it's the absolute truth, and it was all thanks to Golem's companionship. Life was so much easier around him; he was everything plus even more, more than I could ever ask for and I was head over heels and thankful to the moon goddess.As for Eamon, I never saw or heard from him since that day. It was as if he a whirlwind blew and wiped him off the surface of the earth. He left everything behind—his gold, his Alpha position in the Fire Wolf pack, and the seat belonging to the King of the West was left vacant, he totally abandoned everything.I guess when he said he was changed, he really was telling the truth. But was he truly a changed person? That was one thing I'd never know for certain. With Eamon, you couldn't be so sure, one thing was certain he was lost and trying to find himself just like me.As the
Isadora POVAs Golem was swept up by the revelry, I couldn't shake the feeling of isolation and sadness as I dragged my feet up the stairs to my room, I gazed at the bed, longing for solace.But before I could even take a step toward it, strong arms enveloped me from behind, a hand covering my mouth to stifle any screams. Panic surged through me as a voice whispered urgently in my ear, "Don't scream, Isadora, please."My heart pounded against my chest, fear gripping me as I struggled against the grip. Who was behind me, and what did they want?The voice repeated again, and this time, it sent a jolt of surprise down my spine by its familiarity. The scent, the tone—it couldn't be anyone else.The grip loosened, and I slowly turned around to set eyes on Eamon. Panic surged through me as I struggled against his hold, attempting to scream, but he covered my mouth just in time, pleading with desperation in his eyes."Isadora, come on now," he urged, "we are both adults here, and we both kno
Isadoras POVAfter a little while, a doctor walked in with an image in hand and announced, "The Queen is pregnant with twins."A mix of emotions flooded through me as the doctor's words echoed in the room. Twins? It was beyond anything I could have anticipated. Golem's eyes widened, reflecting a blend of astonishment and joy. He gently squeezed my hand, and a smile broke across his face."Twins, you mean not just one pup but two?" he murmured, almost in disbelief, and then turned to the doctor, "Are they healthy?"The doctor nodded, "Yes, both appear healthy and developing well your highness.""We're going to be parents of twins," Golem exclaimed, his voice filled with awe and happiness.I looked up at him, feeling a surge of love and gratitude. "Yes, we are," I replied, my heart swelling with anticipation for the journey ahead.Golem embraced me, declared at the top of his voice the echoes of his excitement, shaking the Foundation of the hospital ." This calls for celebration".As w
Isadora POVJust as I opened my eyes, they landed on a familiar set of eyes, ones that caused me so much pain in the past, and I had prayed never to set eyes upon again.I pulled out of the embrace with Lisa, and the smile immediately disappeared from my lips. "What are you doing here? I don't remember sending you an invitation," I demanded."Isadora, please forgive me. Give me another chance to make things right with you. I've learned my lesson, and I learned it the hard way," he responded, going on his knees.I glared at him, a mix of anger and disbelief welling up inside me. "Another chance? You don't get to waltz back into my life and ask for another chance, Eamon. You hurt me more than you can imagine," I retorted, my voice firm.Lisa looked between us, visibly uncomfortable, sensing the tension in the air. I took a deep breath, trying to compose myself. "You had your chance, Eamon. It's too late now, I've moved on and you should too" I declared, turning away from him, my focus b
Isadora povWith that, the elder declared, "I now pronounce you king and queen of the South." The crowd erupted into a heavy wave of cheers and celebration.The chief guard and Rodrigo stepped forward, both holding golden crowns customized with the finest blend of gemstones that glittered even in the dark.The elder received the crowns one after the other and placed them on our heads, and then he took my palm and pulled out the ring the Queen, put in my finger the day she crowned me as first lady of the South, With that, he proceeded to insert new set of rings all belonging to the late Queen Golem's mother into my finger, with that he declared, "May your reigns be long, and may the peace between the dragons and the South extend for all eternity."Just as I was about to respond, I felt uncomfortable. As I tried to control myself, I suddenly spat out an unexpected vomited, to my suprise and the surprise of everyone else, who stood still like something outwardly just happened.One of th
Isadora POVAs I entered the main chamber excorted by Lisa and Rodrigo who followed closely behind, I was greeted by a completely different sight, not what I had originally expected to see. The chamber was occupied by a bunch of old women putting on a strange looking similar outfit.I was taken aback by the sight, but just before I could ask what was going on, one of the old ladies approached me and spook in a language I couldn't understand, but she made hand gestures, that felt like she wanted me to take off my clothes.I gasped in shock, wondering why and who they were, turning sideways to exchange a look with the chief guard who now let go of my hand, bowed his head smiling mischievously and exited the room alongside Rodrigo, leaving Lisa and me all alone with the old women, a confusing expression perfectly positioned on my face as I exchanged a glance with Lisa.Apparently, this was customary in the South, reading from the handwritings. I hesitated but understood the significance,
Isadora POVHis sudden change of heart caught me off guard, and for a moment, I stood there, wrapped in his strong embrace, absorbing his words."What?" I stammered, still not entirely comprehending his abrupt shift. "Golem, are you serious?"He held me tighter, looking into my eyes with a sincerity that I hadn't seen before. "Isadora, I'm done running. I want to build a life with you, here in the South. I want a family, and I want it all with you."A mix of emotions flooded through me—relief, joy, and a lingering trace of disbelief. I never expected him to make such a commitment, especially considering his past reluctance. Yet, here he was, declaring his intentions with a conviction that echoed in his voice."But what about your responsibilities as the king of dragons?" I questioned, needing reassurance that this decision wasn't made in haste.Golem brushed a strand of hair from my face, his eyes softening. "I can figure something out. We'll find a way to balance it all. The importan
Golem povHer request for a promise caught me off guard, and I found myself searching for the right words."I don't understand you, Isadora," I began, my voice carrying a hint of confusion. "Where is this coming from? What have I ever done to give you such an impression?"She held her ground, her gaze unwavering. "I love you, Golem, but how can I trust that you won't run away from me? If you can run away from your mother, then who am I?"Hearing her say those words, I was taken aback by a whirlwind of surprise as I took a few steps backward, stunned by her response. The weight of her doubt hit me like a tidal wave, and for a moment, I felt lost in a sea of confusion."You just broke my heart, Isadora," I confessed, my voice carrying a mixture of sadness and vulnerability. With that said, I walked towards the wardrobe, Hearing her say those words, I was taken aback by a whirlwind of surprise. Stunned by her response, I took a few steps backward, struggling to find the right words. "Yo
Isadora POVThe next morning, I woke up in bed, tired and completely drained of strength. The worst part was that I couldn't remember a single thing, and my whole body felt sore.Still dizzy, I rolled around in bed, trying to stretch my body. When I rolled into what felt like a rock, the sleep immediately disappeared from my eyes as I yelled out, "Golem, what are you doing in my bed!"He gave me a puzzled look, a grin playing on his lips as he replied, "Really, Isadora? Really? You actually want me to believe you don't remember a thing that happened between us last night?" A doubtful expression on his face.I shook my head in response, saying, "No, I don't. What happened between us?" I asked as I grabbed the blankets to cover up my naked body.Golem chuckled, leaning in closer with a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Well, my forgetful queen, let's just say we explored some new realms of passion and love last night."I blushed, a mix of embarrassment and curiosity in my expression. "You
