Alpha Herveaux’s POVMy mansion was rowdy, filled with people I was tired of seeing. After last night’s moon goddess visit, I expected all of these to happen. Not all of us would be pleased.I have to put things in order before things escalate. The Ice Prowler’s pack hasn't been associated with other packs in years. The moon goddess mating me with Auriel drove them out of the hole. The elders saw Daciana as someone who was just obsessed with me and not good enough for their Luna."Enough Daciana! You have overstepped your boundaries!" I ordered that she be thrown out of my mansion at once. Luna Rudina’s feelings mattered less at this period, she should have taken control of her daughter.She tried so hard to speak to me, but I ignored her completely. Instead, I spoke to someone else."Is there any way it could be made clear who she was mated to, great Alune?" I deliberately threw the jive at her, because for once she should be useful to me."Yes, Alpha Herveaux, there is a way, but w
Samantha’s POVAlpha Herveaux chased everyone away from his mansion. I was gladly ready to leave until he stopped me. Cervantes told me to keep calm; everything was going on as planned or even better.He strode off in annoyance. The elders were the first to leave; they were surely shocked by his awful behavior."You cannot leave! Hang around or go to your room." Beta Fernando was keen on me. If I wanted to leave, I would have followed Cervantes.I climbed up the stairs to find my room, but I haven’t slept in it for days now. "What are you doing here?" I asked Tala and Dante. I found them inside my room."We missed you," Tala hugged me. Dante just smiled from afar. I understood him. He just felt comfortable in his own space.I took them out of their room. We went to Tala’s room. We got busy playing, arranging some of Tala’s things.When Tala noticed her father had been seated at the entrance for a while. He ordered his children to leave, he was sweet and gentle with them."That rogue!"
Samantha’s POVI woke up on his lap. Drooling with spittle, I slept like a little child. His eyes were bloodshot. He must have watched me all night. That little fight was cool. It was Alpha Herveaux I had cussed out to all these while thinking the wolf was different. He introduced Tristan to me.We had a nice time last night. I told him to play along as if I didn’t know who Tristan was. It worked, and we had the time of our lives. My heart was lighter. He apologized again for taking advantage of me. I recalled telling him mere apologies wouldn't be enough, and he asked me what I wanted. I almost asked that he let me through the passage so I could go back.He asked me a thousand weird questions I couldn’t answer. "Are you awake?’ he asked with his coarse and strenuous voice. "No, I want to sleep some more," he tossed me off his legs to the floor. I thought he was mad at me just to see him smiling. "Get out!" he added, smiling."You couldn’t sleep?" I asked. "Is it Big Wolfie or Alpha H
Alpha Herveaux’s POV"She just left in anger, should I have said no to her uncle’s request?" I wasn’t able to think straight, I stayed up all night when she left. Tristan missed talking to her on the terrace.We waited all night, talking to no one but the two of us. I know Tristan loves her, but what do I do with Daciana? I will put my pack first; it needs to be strong; someone like Daciana would serve its purpose if ever war should erupt.I need answers on the Vargulfs are they returning? Who awakened them? Is my uncle still alive?I told Herving to get prepared; we have another place to visit. The last time I was with Fernando, I wanted him to watch the mansion while I was away."We will be back before dawn," I said to Herving. "Where are we going? Who are we meeting, Alpha Herveaux?" Herving asked curiously. He shouldn’t be questioning my orders, I understood why he asked, it was because of the last incident with the Vargulfs."We aren’t taking the car!"He stepped away from the ca
Daciana’s POV.I lay in bed with fear; everything that gave me confidence turned out not to be my greatest fear. Losing it all, Herveaux, my strength beauty, everything will be gone. Even Sylvia my wolf would not remember anything about me. The Vargulfs, I won’t deny not knowing how I got infected, I just cannot bring myself to regret it.Maybe I should just leave everything and runaway, the human world would be great. It still wouldn't change my fate by stopping me from becoming a monster. In the past few days, I have avoided looking in the mirror because it aggravates my anxiety. I need to see Normani again.Their hideout was several miles away from the city; the trees and bushes were cleared, and the path was cleared too. So unusual. Normani was seated at the entrance. I guess she must have seen me coming."I need your help," I pleaded humbly. I don’t usually beg, but I was on the brink of losing myself. "The almighty Daciana begs the lowlife Normnai, what do you want? This?" She d
Samantha’s POV.I woke up to the pleasant aroma of Luna Rosario’s cooking; she is the Luna for the ice prowler’s clan. Beautiful and down to earth. She made my stay at their place so much fun. I learned everything I needed to know about werewolves and Vargulfs from her.So far, none of their histories relate to Cervantes; neither is his name mentioned. Rosario related her story to mine; she also got her first shift very late and was treated as an outcast .I tried shifting myself to see what I looked like. It wasn’t coming, she told me not to force it and just go with the flow. I didn’t want to return to the Lycan’s Prowler Pack; I was enjoying my stay here.I am human, and I must find a way to return to my father. "Auriel!" Cervantes called out in his cold voice."One minute," I said as I jumped out of bed quickly. I packed my black hair in a messy bun, the black colors were faded compared to my real blond. I needed more dye.Every day I looked forward to the day when I could boldly
Alpha Herveaux’s POV.Tristan was overly joyful about the decision I made. Making my heart beat differently again. The emotions I feel are so strange. "It's all for you, Tristan; anything to make you happy."He fluttered his tail freely, longing for her. "Father" Tala called out to me, shyly, at the door without coming inside. I knew what it meant anytime she called me like that; she either did something wrong or wanted something I wouldn’t give on a normal day."So are you maning the door for Father?" "Come inside, my love," I stood up and carried her inside my room."To what do I owe this visit, your highness?" I teased her."When is Auriel coming? I want to see or," she asked. "Where is Dante?’ I asked her."He’s outside," she responded. "Just leave him there.""Father has decided to do the right thing.""Auriel is coming back," she jumped on my bed and asked curiously."Father," she gripped me. "Tell me, is she?"I nodded the positive. She jumped really hard on my bed. I could onl
Daciana’s POVThe sky was mumbling, covered with dark clouds, and thundering randomly as I waited outside for Derrick to let me in. The rain started falling heavily. Drenched in cold, I stood my ground, not leaving even though my wolf was beginning to feel weak. The poison was spreading really fast. I had to make a fast decision. I could either die waiting or go inside and face whatever was in store for me. I would rather die than lose my wolf. I decided.I went inside confidently. Derrick’s men tried to seize me, but he stopped them. "I now understand what my brother saw in you, the bravery and absolute confidence, even if it might cost you your life.""What's in it for me?" he asked. Derrick sat down close to the fire. He was burning some stuff on paper. He was in his human form. He wore a big fur coat and a short, ripped jeans.The resemblance between him and Alpha Herveaux was so close. Derrick just looked unkempt and somehow older."You will break him; it's left for you to get t
SAMANTHA’S POV. ONE YEAR LATER. His broad hand drew me into his arms with a tight hug that i felt in my soul. "Happy birthday, my beloved Luna," his coarse, seductive voice whispered in my ears."Hmmm," I heaved, still pretending to be asleep. He placed a small box beside me. "I want to go to the bath; will you join me? I know you’re awake," he uttered. He took off his clothes, and I fell in love with him all over again. It was my birthday again, a day I have regretted and wished never came just because of that unforgettable night. Alpha Herveaux changed that. It became a day I now look forward to."So what’s my first gift?" I asked him jokingly. "Me!" he coerced seductively. "What else can I ask for? Can I have you now?" I can’t wait to see his expression when he finds out I am pregnant with his child. "That night a few months ago, I thought you left; I would have been miserable without you. Thank you, Samantha," he uttered as he made out with me.He carried me down to
ALPHA HERVEAUX’S POV.I rolled to the other side of the bed, expecting a push or a sound, but none was forthcoming; Auriel had left. It sent me a bewildering, intense feeling of sadness that swept all my happiness away."Don’t be sad; she probably went for the kill; only she can defeat Falcon," I consoled Tristan. If it turns out otherwise, then I’ll just go with the flow. I am back to full strength. Before Sunrise reveals its glory, I will go and defend the city. It won’t go down with me alive.She left the clothes she had picked out for me to wear at the extreme edge of the bed. She still cares, but maybe as a friend and not as my Luna.The clothes seemed like camouflage. There was no way I could hide without getting spotted or noticed; it was pointless hiding or wearing camouflage. I got dressed and was ready for the kill. I stepped out, and a smile returned to my face when I saw the moon. I growled. It meant she was still around. "I hope she sees me before leaving," I wished o
SAMANTHA’S POV. My heart fluttered watching him sleep soundly like a baby. His heart was beating slowly, and his face had a mild smile. "I am his peace," I muttered, blushing uncontrollably. "I’m sorry, my love, I’ll have to leave before you wake up. Just let’s stay alive all through. I really can’t decide now." I whispered and kissed him goodbye.I didn’t care if I would make it or not, but my love for him and his children was driving me to my peak."Avayah, Valerie, we are going to find Falcon and kill him. Easy, right?" I asked them jokingly. I tiptoed out of Ashina’s house so Herveaux would continue his sound sleep. The only place on my mind where I felt I could find Falcon was at Derrick’s mansion, the same place where Alpha Herveaux was held hostage. The mansion was miles away from the house. I wondered what made Ashina come this far and live there alone; not even Herveaux knew of the place. "Thank you, Avayah; you led me there, right?" I shifted like a pro as I ra
ALPHA HERVEAUX’S POV.The wavering sounds of the waters at the sea stirred my eyes to open and my soul to awaken. Still in pain, I struggled to get up on my feet. "Hey, just lie down there; you’re still hurt."The voice I had always wanted to hear spoke to me. I beamed with a smile and fell back onto the bed. She hurried up to meet me."Herveaux, are you with me?" She asked worriedly, holding my hands. She placed my hand on her face. It still felt like a dream. I never knew she’d return to me. Especially now that I needed her the most."Samantha?" I murmured tiredly. "Yes, it’s me; I am here," she responded. My hands found her blonde hair, and I flicked them away from her face. "You’re beautiful," I said to her, smirking."I know there is no time to waste; tell me what to do; how can I heal you?" she asked instantaneously. She dragged me up the wall so I could rest my back. "Where is this place?" I asked anxiously. I had never been there, and it was pleasant. "It Belonged to
SAMANTHA’S POV. Gwendolyn helped me pack my bags. She was skeptical about it at first, then I was the one eager to leave."Will you tell your father about it first? Have you made any plans?" She asked me carefully. "None for now. I have been trying to call Alpha Draglun, but he isn’t responding. Do you think he’s also caught in this?" I asked her concernedly. "Keep calling, he might answer before you get there. Your father is not home right now. I will just tell him when he returns," Gwendolyn responded impatiently. I sat down on the bed tiredly. "Why are you acting like this?""Don’t tell me you’re backing out or having second thoughts, okay let’s do this, if the thing get out of your control, just say goodbye and come back to us, how about that?" Gwendolyn asked. Gwendolyn was done packing my bags. She collected the cellphone from me and put it inside. "So how do you get there? You’re not going by car, right?" she asked confusedly, and it made me blush. "Partly by ca
ALPHA HERVEAUX’S POV. The dangers of the night were out; the whole place was dark and sneaky. Not a single soul was around. The whole place was dark, and the absence of the moon didn’t go unnoticed. For once, I doubted the information Brenda gave me. It came so easily; just a few minutes after she left me, she returned overhead and came to me. "I don’t mind; I have no other choice," I said loudly to myself to stop the non-stop pondering in my mind. I checked the whole area. The woods, underneath, and even the sea that was nearby, but there is no sign of anyone there. "I will wait a while and leave if no one shows up," I coerced. I checked the paper she gave me again. "It’s here; I definitely am in the right place. Where are you hiding my children, Falcon?" I whispered, still searching. "Right here!" he responded with a wild roar. He threw Miranda’s body down from the tree. "Damn you, Falcon, I knew it!" I groaned painfully. She was still alive but writhing in pain."Don’t wor
SAMANTHA’S POV. He was dressed in the prisoner’s uniform. It suits him really well. "I still can’t believe I once liked men that looked like him," I whispered into Gwendolyn’s ear."You’ve said that before, okay? Thanks to Herveaux, you got to know there were better men than he was," she snapped.Lorenzo was called up, and he was sitting right in front of me. He was sad and teary. "I will have my revenge, Lorenzo; I really can’t wait to crush you and end your life; no one will save you from me," I said to him."I will take whatever punishment you give me; please spare my wife and our innocent baby," he pleaded with me. He fell on his feet and held onto my legs.I kicked him off angrily. "The police, you can’t assault him," Gwendolyn pulled me back."Dummy, I tipped them off; I am Samantha Eduardo!" I replied, laughing loudly, and continued kicking him. "I will kick them out of that house and throw them into the streets. You did the same to my innocent father, so why can’t I do th
ALPHA HERVEAUX’S POV.Fernando fought against me with all his might, and I realized he wouldn’t stop until he was dead. I stopped fighting him. "I did you no wrong! I need to go save my children. I will kill you this time if you attack me again," I said to him."No, you will have to go through me!" he growled wildly. "You’re not in control Fernando, you can still get yourself back; I don’t want to kill you," I pleaded, ready to give up everything. It hurt so much to see the man who raised you like a father ready to kill you. I know he wasn’t as powerful as I was, but living with the guilt of killing him would be hard on me. "I forgive you for everything you’ve done against me, even though you think I was the one who offended you!" I yelled. "You were ready to choose another Beta and shamefully disperse me; you never trusted me; you handed over the throne to your brother; you could have promoted me to Alpha!" he grunted.It sounded so odd. I never knew he wanted to become Alp
SAMANTHA’S POV. I snuggled my body meekily under the tender, silky cover on my bed. My back ached so bad, but it’d turn into a soothing pain as I starched on the bed.My normal routine before sleeping started, whereby I had to think about every disgusting thing I did that day and even years ago, blame myself, praise myself a little, and have a mixture of regrets."Did I do the right thing with Alpha Draglun?"I shunned him. I could have just said NO politely, but I said it in a rage. I just hope he understands that I don't want that life anymore. Alpha Herveaux is the strongest man I know, and I believe he can fight off whoever threatens his pack. Moreover, He places it on a high pedestal, so he’ll never watch it fall."I just hope my thoughts are right," I said, thinking out loud. Like usual, I fell asleep without knowing it; all I knew was that I felt peaceful with a great ache in my heart that I refused to acknowledge.I felt a soft, hairy hand on my face. "Alpha Herveaux,"
