SAMANATHA’S POV. I fucked it all up. I made it to the portal after a distraction ensued between Great Alune and Alpha Herveaux. She wouldn’t let me hand over the key neither would Alpha Herveaux. I didn’t fully understand but it was going to be disastrous if I give the key to Cervantes. Whose name was actually Falcon. The man who was once banished for using dark magic. I got to realize he was banished by Alpha Herveaux’s father and this was his revenge plan all along and I got dragged into it. Alpha Herveaux commanded that they locked me up. I didn’t mind. I would be dead if my father died, he did far too such and he didn’t deserve any of these. “Alpha Herveaux had summoned you,” the wolf guarding the cell uttered. I was dragged out of he cell. “Why inside his room?” “I am sorry I wouldn’t be able to answer that,” he replied and pushed me in. My hands were chained. Reluctantly I entered inside his room. “sit!” he commanded. “I am convenient this way,” I replied.
ALPHA HERVEAUX’S POV."Once we get the key from her, we kill her to teach every other person a lesson, never to cross you again, Beloved Alpha," Beta Fernando coerced. I didn’t give a response; I just watched him as we led Auriel to the portal. She handed over the key after making a hard request, which I granted. My heart was whispering that she at least changed her mind and returned; how could I take it that she was human?Beta Fernando drew out the sword. He could have just killed her with his claws; why use the sword to spite me?"STOP!" I shouted. "I must do this for you, Alpha Herveaux!" he yelled. "NO! I decide what to do to her," I replied. She was covered with fear and helpless. She couldn’t utter a word. "Stand up!" I said lightly. "You want to go home? I will make sure you get home, but you will never return here!" I uttered coldly. My heart said otherwise. I just hated the fact that I was played. "Thank you," she muttered. The portal opened, and she was abou
ALPHA HERVEAUX’S POVDriving back home, my mind was fixed on what I and Alpha Draglun discussed. I leaned in, brooding over it. My brother had reached out to him to join hands with him."To do what exactly?" I asked curiously, but he couldn’t give a reasonable answer. If it were for the throne, then he would have to fight me one on one. The mansion was dark, with no liveliness whatsoever. The only thing that gave me so much hope and relief from my burdens. If it will take my life, then I am ready to fight. "Where is Beta Fernando?""He’s with the omegas,""Call him,"Beta Fernando arrived within seconds. He was sweaty and was truly practicing with the omegas. "You sent for me, beloved Alpha," he said, bowing. "Yes, I have spoken to my army, and they have accepted my plans; it’s just left to the elders now, I will be speaking to them in a few minutes.""I didn’t know you spoke to our warriors, Beloved Alpha," Beta Fernando arced. "Yes, I didn’t want you to discourage me," I r
BETA FERNANDO’S POV.I followed Alpha Herveaux to the hall, but the principal aim wasn’t just to escort or protect him. I had other agenda. I was between difficult cross roads. I feared manipulation, but I seem to have been cut in its webs. “I am waiting for you, Beta Fernando,” Falcon whispered coldly. “I am on my way, still at the hall. I need to spend some time,” I responded. Falcon showed me where we were to meet and I went there after spending some time at the entrance waiting for him. “Welcome Fernando, my very good old friend,” Falcon professed. “Daciana!” I exclaimed when I saw her. “She can’t reply or see you for now. She’s still under the influence of the poison, and this will happen to almost everyone if you don’t act fast,” Falcon warned. “Why do I have to trust you?” I asked wildly. “You’re not trusting me, you’re trusting Alpha Derrick, you were there when the prophecy chose him as the next Alpha of the Lycan prowler pack, there would be no peace if that
ALPHA HERVEAUX’S POV."I will give everyone who wants to speak an opportunity to do so. Just make it related to what’s on the ground," I responded composedly. Losing my cool was their aim, and I wasn’t ready to play into his hands. Derrick walked over to the podium, and I gave way for him."I won’t spend so much time here; I have a lot more important things to do, and I know we all here have more important things to deal with also," he coerced."I always thought I was more arrogant," I scoffed. "I am not too concerned about appointing a new supreme leader; whoever will be taking the position must be competent enough." "Ready to lead us to the next phase and not stay stagnant even though the word is evolving, I suggest a poll be made, votes be cast, and then the next step be taken.""The majority will determine!" he yelled."Thank you; does anyone else have something to say?" I asked wildly.No one was talking. None of them wanted me, and all my years I have put into serving t
ALPHA DERRICK’S POV.Beta Fernando hasn’t made up his mind fully, despite being in this with me from the start. "Why don’t you hang around to see?" "See What? If our clan is going to get invaded?" Derrick asked wildly. "Yes, though it’s a part of my plan but not that of Falcon, so there is a limit to what I can control," I responded."I think I know something that might be of interest to you; I won’t be contesting for the post of supreme alpha; I have somewhere important I need to be," I replied."Is it about overthrowing your brother?" Fernando asked. "I hate that you call it like that; The prophecy chose me, and I wouldn’t stop saying it.""No, it’s about loving someone, one of the things Herveaux is not capable of doing, so you have a choice, Fernando; I am sure he must be looking for you by now.""All right, whatever turns out, I will never betray the Lycan’s prowler pack," Derrick harnessed. Manipulating him wasn’t easy. I had to make him believe he was doing the right thi
ALPHA HERVEAUX’S POVMiranda didn’t have time to finish her words. I raced down to the mansion like a wild wolf. It was invaded. The sky above it was toxic and reeked of dark magic. "Damn, all those were just tricks to lure me out and keep me there. Now I believe my ego and pride were my downfall.”I didn't know what to do. I was confused. “Everyone’s betrayed me; I have just you, Tristan!” I harnessed. I got inside the mansion secretly. I summoned my army. The omegas and hybrids were already weak from fighting, but the true Lycans still had more than enough strength to fight against Falcon’s dark magic.“Get ready; I just need to send the signal to Luna Rudina; we will hold him down for a while until she returns,” I said, encouraging them.Omega Herving and my children were the first on my mind. I asked every random maid I came across, but none of them seemed to know where they were. Falcon was getting stronger, and I needed to either start fighting him to distract his concentration
ALPHA HERVEAUX’S POV. Falcon was threatening Luna Rudina with Daciana, and it seemed to be working. She withdrew her forces and was bantering with him. "Don’t listen to him; Daciana is all right; she’s not with him," I yelled. I lied. Without Luna Rudina’s help, Falcon and Derrick will successfully open up the portal, and the invasion will commence. "Let go of my daughter, Falcon!" Luna Rudina shouted wildly."Where is she? Where did you hide her?" Luna Rudina yelled."Ha ha ha!" Falcon laughed wildly. So scary that I actually accommodated this wild beast in my house as Auriel’s uncle, times without number. He successfully deceived me by using my selfishness. I can’t believe I also went to him for help in the past. I played right into his hands. "She will be where you want her to be; just make sure you obey me, beloved sister," Falcon responded mockingly. "So, who will you choose this time? Some random young man whose family has caused you so much pain in the past, even u
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,"
