* Omario POV*

Abi sobs until she falls asleep next to Titan on the floor next to my bed. Titan is still whining when I shift back to myself and carry her to bed. I am once again amazed at how a woman can be so light. I tug her in and watch her for a long time. I feel heartless for not telling her what Titan has been trying to tell her, but I can’t.

I will do my best to ease your suffering and that of your people but forgive me Abi, because I will also do my ultimate best to make sure that you never meet your vengeful wolf.

I only fall off to sleep at early hours of the morning and wake up to an empty bed. It’s just before five o’clock in the morning, I wonder what was so important that she had to slip out without my permission.

I get out of bed to investigate. Now that I have made it my mission to ease her pain and prevent her wolf from ever coming, I need to know what she is up to every single hour and minutes if I can. I don’t have to go far to look and there she is. On the corri

    *Omario POV*“Abi!” I shout her name as I rush to the floor where she lays with a pool of blood around her arm. My shaving razor blade shines a few centimetres from her. “I should have not left you alone. How could I be so stupid?” I ask myself as I pick her from the floor and place her on the bed. I tear my shirt and tie her wrist to try and stop the blood that is still oozing from her slit wrist. “Abi, can you hear me?” I can’t help but panic. Her whole tiny body move when I shake her but I get no response. She looks so pale and feels so cold. I am not a doctor but her shallow breathing paints a scary picture I refuse to accept. It’s really selfish on my part that I don’t want to let go of an abused, battered and malnourished slave who has had it. It’s not even about the damn prophecy, I am not really worried about what might happen it she die, Abi just can’t die. I run to the door and instruct the servant working on the corridor to call a royal physician and rush back to her sid

    *Abi POV*I can feel myself slipping away when I hear Omario’s voice. “Abigail, can you hear me?”I don’t try to respond. I want to go, I am tired. My people will just have to forgive me because I can’t free them. Omario will have to forgive me too. He tried to help but it’s really useless if I have no wolf. “Abi, please squeeze my hand.” Omario continues to plead. He is a good person and I am grateful for everything he has done for me, but I can’t do this anymore. “Abi, you have a wolf. I have seen her.”What? Is he trying to trick me?“Her name is Nina, sh…she is strong, vengeful and powerful. She will destroy dad and me,” he continues. That makes no sense but I don’t know if I should believe him or not. I did hear him whisper from a distance, maybe…I do owe my people to find out and to try harder. Omario is sitting next to the bed when I open my eyes. He looks so sad, it hurts. “You are making this up, aren’t you?”I don’t recognise my weak voice but his eyes light up and a

    *Abi POV*Omario continues chatting with Olivia and Loyd while I pretend to be drowsy and then sleeping. With my eyes closed I try to link with my wolf. “Nina. Are you really there?”Nothing“If you…I am really looking forward to talking to you.”Still nothing I really don’t know how the first communication with one’s wolf is meant to start but I can’t wait to have someone who completely understands me and feels everything I feel. “Please talk to me.” I am desperate, she’s apparently kickass but she’s two years late already. “What are you waiting for, Nina?”I eventually give up and listen in on Omario and his fiancée conversation. Loyd must have gone out when I was trying to talk to Nina because I don’t hear him anymore. “I thought we would spend this evening together. Why can’t you get other slaves to care for her?” Olivia asks. Maybe I am imagining the menacing tone but it makes me cringe. “Servants,” Omario corrects her. “It’s the same thing,” she insists and there’s the to

    *Omario POV*Abi is instantly agitated the moment Terrence walks out. She forces herself out of bed to stand near the window. I can feel her heart racing. She’s scared for him. I get up and follow her. It’s almost dark outside but the street lamps allow us to see Terrence confidently stride past the group that will be hunting him. They have already shifted into their wolfs and hauling excitedly. My heart starts racing too. There’s so much I hate here and this is on the top ten. I look at them, they are supposed to be my family yet I identify with the people who would never really let me in. I despise those whom I belong with, leaving me all…..alone. “They are more today.” Abi’s melancholic voice breaks my heart. She is terrified for her friend and blames herself that he has to go through this. I narrow my eyes at the group. I have never paid attention of the exact number but they should be less because I got rid of Sylvester and Kane. My heart sinks, Abi is right and I can see why.

    *Omario POV*“She was dumb to go with them but she is our mate!” I am now screaming at Titan. Him and I are supposed to be looking out for Oli no matter what stupid decisions she makes. Oli’s distressed cries continue but Titan does not seem touched at all. Even if I take over from him now, I won’t be much help at night. I need Titan’s sharp senses to lead me to where she is. “Leave her, she will learn not to do dumb things again,” Titan responds. “We are going to save Oli.”“No, we are not!” Titan resists but unlike previously, I now know his weakness. “Dad already instructed us to stay away from Abi. That means your claim on her is now null and void. She is fair game for dad’s friends. Defy me on this and I will let Blake do as he pleases with her.”I feel sick to my stomach as I say this to threaten my stupid wolf but what choice do I have?“Fine!” Titan snaps and heads towards the door the same time Terrence walks in. I don’t have time to interrogate him on what’s happening out

    *Abi POV*It’s Friday night, another familiar scene. I am laying of the floor but feel less exhausted than most Friday nights. Prophet Rufus is looking through my soul and for the first time in months, I am terrified. I use to feel like this before but I got used to it. Tonight I am back there again. What Prophet Rufus sees and says about Omario and I will determine what happens to me from now on. I have done my best to imagine Omario as the man on the video he made me watch. I have also reminisced about our kiss every day and I hope that what the prophet sees is convincing enough. “And?” Alpha Theo roars. He really takes this very serious. His heart must be disgustingly strong. I really hate the mutation that gave him this power. My heart is hammering. This is the moment of truth. “Nothing, Your Highness.” Prophet Rufus says. I look at him, he is definitely not telling the whole truth because I have thought of killing Alpha Theo. Omario’s thoughts have consumed me, but that has n

    *Abi POV*It’s early hours of the morning by the time Terrence comes over and Omario leaves. I feel sick the moment he is out of the door. This can’t be right. For a full hour, Terrence is just staring at me and it’s making me uncomfortable. Him and I are usually open with each other but right now it feels like we are strangers. “Say something, please,” I finally break the ice. He smiles when our eyes meet. “I am curious. How did you get him to finally leave your side?” he asks. “His fiancée is injured. I did not have to do anything.”Terrence chuckles, the way he usually does when he does not believe me. “You are a lot of things Abi, a good liar is not one of them.”I look at him and swallow my saliva. He is my best friend, I want to be honest with him but I don’t understand what’s happening to me right now. Maybe it’s gratitude. That happens to a lot of people, right?“How did you get him to go and see her?” Terrence asks again. “How did you get the horses to fight for you?”

I understand her intentions and it is the right thing for me to do, but I am already dreading meeting Brenda and going through Oli’s recent moods. Titan on the other side is furious with me for agreeing to leave. Him and I don’t seem to agree on anything at all lately. “Oli is our mate and she’s hurt.” I don’t know why I have to be the one reminding him of this. It is unfortunately, Brenda who opens the door. She’s so excited about me coming over while I am disgusted that she is here as my dad’s mistress. On top of that I have to forcefully suppress Titan who wants nothing less than to tear her apart. “Titan.”“She tried to cut Abi’s arm off.”Titan’s vendetta and everything really, revolves around Abi these days. “She’s dad’s concubine now, stand down if you want to see Abi again.” This, me threatening him with Abi every time I need him to comply is on it

    *Omario POV*A day later, Luna Sarah bids us farewell to return to her pack. She and my mother have had very long conversations. Our warriors will accompany her all the way. With the sceptre on her hand and determination to make her pack better, I have no doubt that she will just be fine. The whole nation is fussing about our pup, I don’t know how many times I have seen his name on ships, billboards and television adverts. Having Terrence, Duncan and Loyd around has made my job so much easier. I get to spend a lot of time with my mate and pup, knowing that everything is taken care off. Abi is also thrilled to have mother back. The two of them spend hours giggling, it warms my heart to see them so happy. Two months later, mother and Terrence’s pup is born and my cocky friend is now worse and insists on being addressed as father Alpha. I have accepted it because in reality, he is the ultimate Alpha and I am thrilled that our people have accepted him just like we have. Abi, Mother an

    *Omario POV*Rufus keeps my eyes open. Alpha C’s face is priceless when Dire’s razor sharp teeth sink into his neck. His lifeless body is thrown into the floor like the useless piece of garbage he was. Olivia’s wolf must have deemed the scene too much to witness because she is now in her human form. I don’t feel the least sympathetic as she holds her chest and screams in horror as the disgusting stolen bond fades. “His Highness is slipping away. I can’t hold him back anymore!” It is the first time I hear Rufus so distressed. I guess the prophet really did love me. Dire growls at Olivia, who shrinks and trembles. Shaking his head, he shifts, hurries towards me and kneels in front of me. “Leave his eyes alone,” Terrence commands. “He will surely die!” Rufus cries but Terrence laughs at him. “No, he won’t.” He sounds so certain but I am not so pessimistic. “Unless he is an idiot, then he will,” he adds. I guess the time away has not done much to change his cocky attitude. “Liste

    *Omario POV*“We need the pup to keep Omario in check. Cut it out, give it to me and kill her,” Alpha C instructs while I am on my knees begging for them to spare my mate. Him and Olivia have been this back and forth trying to come up with the best way to kill Abi while keeping themselves safe. Olivia shakes her head. “If I do that, then she will shift into that fire monster. You were there when she killed everyone in a flash. She has to die before the pup is born or we are as good as dead.”Alpha C sighs. “You are right. What can I do without you?”Olivia giggles and sticks her tongue down the old man’s throat. It’s a disgusting sight but the least of my worries right now. My mate is groaning with labour pains while her life hangs by a thread. “How about I will kill her and quickly cut out the pup before it dies?” she suggests. I have to agree that is the best strategy for them, but really deadly for Abi. She won’t shift and risk killing our pup, but that hands her right into ene

    *Omario POV*I know when Duncan leads me to the secure study that whatever this royal visitor has to say must be really serious and sensitive.“Alpha Omario,”Luna Sarah of the Palmland pack bows respectfully the moment I walk in. “To what do I owe this visit?”She will have to forgive my lack of hospitality. I really don’t have the patience nor the time. My mate is in excruciating pain, I should be by her side. She must have read my mind because she immediately explains herself. “I am sorry to arrive unannounced, but this is urgent. Clement and that seductress you exchanged your father’s horses for are coming to overthrow you.”I can feel her anger when she utters the seductress. My curiosity is already piqued. The Clement she is referring to is famously known as Alpha C of the Palmland pack. He was dad’s friend, that’s why I had suggested he gave him the horses when he wanted them killed. Those are the same horses Terrence bought back a few months back in exchange for Olivia. “Al

    *Omario POV*We are preparing to visit the families of the dead elders when Rufus arrives. I can tell from his expression that it’s not good news. Taking a stroll in the garden to get away from eavesdroppers and my mate, he quietly follows. I stop right in the middle. “Speak.”“The vision is now clear, Your Highness.”I already guessed that it was about that. “Proceed.”“It is not good news, My Lord.”“I have gathered that much. I need to know.”“Very soon, you will be faced with a difficult choice. The kingdom for your mate and heir.”My heart sinks, Abi might not approve but it’s a clear choice for me. He reads through me and proceeds. “It’s not that easy and clear, Your Highness. You will also have to choose between your heir and your mate.”“No!”“I am sorry, Your Highness.”“I can not make that choice, ever.” I am saying this more to myself than to Rufus. He sighs and looks away from me. A cold chill goes down my spine. This can’t be good.“What?”I still need to know as mu

    *Omario POV*It’s been just over eight months since Terrence and Mom left. They do call from time to time, they even send photos of them all over the world, but it’s not the same. We really miss them. Teresa and her mate Duncan, have really proved themselves as worthy Betas. Besides the elders who don’t seem to agree with any of our decisions, our people are happy and our kingdom is really thriving. “Good morning, Omar,” my puffy, almost hundred kilograms mate says with a yawn the moment she opens her eyes. She stretches her arms and tries to get off the bed. I catch her just on time, bringing her back to the bed. I really believed that pregnant women got tired a lot, until I met her. She is heavily pregnant with swollen feet but I swear she has more energy than most people. “Morning Beautiful. Where do you think you are going?”She looks at me with the same cute disapproving expression. “For the hundredth time, Omar, I am pregnant, not sick. The doctors told you that.”I can’t h

We spoke the whole night about it, it’s now time to put it into practice. Terrence gets out of the car and I immediately sense something strange and powerful about him. I can feel his majestic wolf demanding submission from mine. This can’t be good. Abi narrows her eyes before turning to me. “Something is different about him.”I nod my head. “I feel him too.”“It’s happening, isn’t it?”“I don’t know, Babe, but we will find out soon enough.”“Your Highnesses,” Terrence bows with a huge grin on his face before hugging Abi longer than he usually does. “Watch it,” I warn and feel Titan growl inside. Terrence laughs, letting go of Abi and embracing me very tight. “What’s wrong with you?” Terrence is acting very strange even for him. He is already squeezing my mother by the time I recollect myself and rea

    *Abi POV*An hour after everyone has left, Omario is still hoovering over my tummy, whispering sweet nothings to his foetus. I still can’t get myself to maintain eye contact with him when he lifts up his head. I don’t even see him shift into Titan until I feel the soft fur against my skin. My heart suddenly dances and my soul is at peace when my big fluffy smile-keeper jumps to my arms and licks my face. I can’t stop giggling as I run my hands through his soft fur. I don’t think I have been this happy since he and Omario left. He slightly backs away and looks at me as if trying to recall something. His eyes are suddenly filled with sadness. “T?” his sudden change terrifies me. Nothing and no one else gets to him, except me. He only looks like this when I did something hurtful. “You tried to reject us,” he reminds me. I close my eyes, wishing I could take back that day. “I was angry and stupid. I’m so sorry.” I don’t even know how to explain myself. I have to learn to deal with

Another bout of nausea hits me, sending me flying to the toilet. I hardly sleep these days. If I am not cursing my mate, I am throwing up everything. I am just glad that seems to be early morning and evenings when I am alone. The last thing I need is everyone fussing over me. As is, Mother Luna Nala is fussing enough. She is even insisting on cooking all my food. I appreciate all her support and the love she is showering me with.Unlike Terrence, who openly tells me that I am overreacting, she has never even once blamed me for anything. “You know what this means, right?” Nina links. I ignore her, gag and throw up some more. “Abi,” Nina calls me, impatiently. “Yes, Nina, I know,” I snap. “He gets to walk and be with his childhood love while I…”“He would be here if we didn’t threaten to kill Olivia and her pup,” my stupid w
