Samantha’s POVI was gently awakened by the aromas of vanilla cookies, rose mint soap, and lemon tea. When it opened, Brenda was the first person I looked at. She was directly in front of me when I saw her.My bath was being prepared by Brenda. That explains the scent of rose-mint soap that I was noticing, I said.The hot cookies' clear steam was so obvious as it rose. I suppose the wolf's power also blessed me with a clearer vision."Good morning, Luna; your bath is ready," she said as I jumped out of bed.I thought back right away to last night, when I had a bad fall and sprained my ankle. There were no aches or pains, not even a surface scratch. "Are things all right?" Brenda questioned me lowly. She looked disgusted, and I could tell. I absentmindedly sat down on the ground and looked at my feet. "Oh, yes," I said politely.I was helped off the ground by Brenda. She then assisted in removing my dress while I was facing the mirror in front of her. I looked in the mirror. I stopp
HERVEAUX POVAs much as I tried to hide the Vargulf’s invasion from the wolf, I guess its done for. They all knew. "What do you mean? Did anyone see them?" I asked defiantly."That shouldn’t be the question, Beloved Alpha, we should think about solving it." Great Alune grieved. I felt disrespected, but she was acting on her emotions. "Put Yourself in Order!" Cyril cautioned her. "Now who will answer my question?" I asked again. They told me the vargulfs weren’t just spotted at the borders; they invaded one of my pack's territories. Even though it was still far from our domain, it still bugged me."We will send out our army for a survey!" I commanded. "I'm sorry, Alpha Herveaux, we can’t do this alone, this meeting was scheduled because the Alphas of other kingdoms want to meet with you.""WHAt! Did it spread that far?" I asked immediately. I knew someone did that. I trusted Beta Fernando and Omega Herving. They were the only two who knew about the Vargulfs. Who among them co
SAMANTHA’S POVOmega Herving took me to Great Alune’s house. Her house was strange and bizarre, but I have seen worse at Cervantes’s. "I must report to Alpha Herveaux, I will be back for you," Omega Herving said. He dropped me off in front of her house. I knocked on the door, but there was no response. "Walk through the door!" Omega Herving shouted. He reversed the car and left.I thought I didn’t hear well at first, but jokingly, I tried it first with my hand, and it worked. I did play a bit at the door until I was lost in it. Dipping my hands in the door and drawing them back. It amazed me."You can come in, Luna Auriel," Great Alune said, smiling. It was so embarrassing that I felt she had been watching me since I arrived. "Tea or coffee?" Great Alune asked warmly. "Coffee," I answered sharply. I didn't really used to be a fan, but then Luna Rosario made me fall in love with drinking coffee. She offered me some. She was a few steps away from me. I had to stand up and get it
HERVEAUX’S POV"What do you mean by that?" I was raging with anger. Alpha Adolph of the shape-shifter pack came closer to calm me down. "We will explain, but you have to calm down, Supreme Alpha," he uttered diligently. Tristan was growling. With heavy breaths and an annoying appeal to calm down. I was forced to reside back to my seat."Explain!" I shouted. Alpha adolph volunteered to explain; they all knew I would not listen to any other speaker, who was most likely Alpha Lowell. "A few days ago, the Alpha of the Black Night packs was deposed, and a new Alpha had taken his place," he said subtly. "Excuse me, who is the Alpha of the Black Nights pack?""I don’t think, I know him?" Alpha Adolph explained that he and his pack went against the lone wolf, and luckily for Derrick and his fellow lone wolves, they won the bout. They defeated him and took hold of his territory. "That’s exactly what happened, brother, take it or leave it; I am a legal member of this pack now, and
SAMANTHA’S POV."I have to go now." Cervantes said coldly. He said with certainty. "Why now, Cervantes, is Alpha Herveaux back?" I asked nervously. I knew that was the only person he would never want to meet. He was just about to tell me about Daciana’s. Cervantes vanished into thin air before I could persuade him.They announced Alpha Herveaux’s presence in the mansion. I wasn’t expecting him that early. Unfortunately, my heart leapt with uncontrollable joy. Just for him to make it sour by summoning Omega Herving. I knew it would be because of the fact that I visited the great Alune."Where are you going?" I asked him intently, despite knowing the reason. "It’s Alpha Herveaux, it’s because…" I stopped him. "I'll go with you; it's all my fault." It went well. We ended up fighting again, and he had to leave me in the room. We fought about Dante, too. "Go tell him about the Vargulfs and Cervantes. You forgot about Ashina, you haven’t told him," Avayah said in a cool voice. It gave m
ALPHA DRAGLUN’S POVIt took time for them to let me in. I knew it was based on his orders, but I don’t mind. I might be labeled the weakest Alpha, but protecting my pack comes first. If I have to keep up with him to save them, that's what I'll do.I saw Auriel. The hug was simple, but her heady mate made an issue of it. Should I mention the issue with Tala and Dante? He arrogantly asked me to meet him on the terrace when I was done with the reunion. "How rude?""Wanna play? I'd beat you in person this time!" His son asked. He had Ashina's eye. "Sure, Dante," I replied. I would enjoy wasting some of his father's time. I'd make him wait. I was a pro at video games. I played them a lot as a kid. "That’s all for now, Dante. I have to go meet your dad. We need to talk about something very important.""I have something for you," he offered.The way I made decisions was vast, but once I made a decision, there was nothing I could change. Just like the feelings I had for Daciana. The ter
SAMANTHA’S POVWhen he kissed me, I felt so different. With his lips above mine, my heart was tightened and fissured, but then it was free all the burden was gone and I wanted to let him wilfully.It was cut off by Alpha Draglun's intervention. He cleared his throat and my reflex of uncontrollable anxiety pushed Alpha Herveaux away from me. It didn’t have much effect. His body was stiff.I had to excuse them. His words kept ringing in my head. The ones before we kissed "I won you." It didn’t sound like he was calling me a slave or his subject.It was from a place of jealousy and undefeated love. "Snap out of it, Samantha. You’re foolishly blushing!" I smacked myself in the face. "Beloved Luna, your presence is needed." Brenda bowed as she walked into my room. They haven't gotten an order from Alpha Herveaux about whether or not to refurbish Luna Ashina’s room for my use. So, pending the time, I was still in his room.I laid on his bed soothingly. I just wished we had never had a
Herveaux’s POV"Hell, No!" "Why would I be jealous?" "I just made my mind and intentions clear!" I growled. How dare she think I was jealous? That’s disrespectful. I just didn’t want him anywhere around her. He should talk to her or see her because she’s mine. She peered into my eyes without fear. "All I see is jealousy, Beloved Alpha," she said slowly and sultrily.Her soothing, rich floral Lavender scent resolved with a very strong hint of vanilla filling the air. The hint of vanilla was synonymous with Ashina. "Come closer," I coarsely commanded. She wouldn’t heed. I drew her into my arms and inhaled deeply. Even Tristan felt it within himself. It was vastly satisfying. My body wanted more of her at that moment. But I had to override the image of a monster she had of me. My hands found her peering, innocent face. As she avoided deep contact with me. "What’s so spectacular about you, Aureil?" I asked her icily with a bloodshot frown. I was trying every means to control th
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,"
