KING'S MATE 39. A THREAT
HENRY'S POV"No, don't say that, you saved us, almost a hundred people." She says.Her words surprise me a little bit, because I was under the impression that she hated that they were being "saved" to Red Fire. In fact Lexa had on occasions mentioned that we were probably taking them to become slaves in Red Fire; mopping floors and cooking all day.It’s a laughable notion because Red Fire is a large pack and definitely self sufficient. We didn't need slaves, people had their jobs and did it remarkably well."Well, I have also killed hundreds of people." A very true fact."Sure there are a lot of rumors about you, and you are a complete pain in the neck, but you're not all that bad." She smiles."Like my mom would say, people give all sort of names to things they don't understand because they are scared of it." Her mother sounded like a very wise woman, I am beginning to understand why all three of them seem very much grounded than the others in the lot."The first time we met, you sav

AZALEA'S POV"So you're in this position," His slow whispers tickling the hairs on my neck and ear. I nod, focusing on my breathing instead of the way my stomach plummet or the way my heart raced or the way a million sparks and goosebumps covers my skin each time he touches me. I wonder if becoming stronger is as easy as he said with my current distracted state. I shake out of my own thoughts and focus on the training at hand. Its just the two of us once again in the dark training ground. "My right arm around your neck and possibly a weapon to your head, what you do is you to take this your left arm and will angle out your elbow and make a fist then you take your right hand over that fist to make a really strong powerful jab to the side of the person.""Yeah I got it. So I do this?." I ask."When your opponent is monetarily disarmed, you grab his right arm that was around your neck and twist it all the way to his back." He said demonstrating slowly, till my right arm was touching my

HENRY'S POVI spent the better part of the night planning a new defense formation against the Rogue attack and the Black Lotus packs. It was difficult dealing with such inexperienced group of fighters unlike my seasoned soldiers, but it had to be done.And I am sure I have made it abundantly clear multiple times that everyone had a responsibility to keep themselves alive. I can not be every body's savior even if I wanted to.I sigh to myself again, recounting the night's troubles. Failing to detect the Rogue in time was definitely a problem, one I took full responsibility for. After all I was the alpha, but it made me question many things I thought I knew.I decided to forget sleep and do another lap round the entire camp to look for clues. I made my way back to the camp fire where Lexa had been attacked and sat for a while, beckoning on the help of my ancestors to at least find an answer or I would run mad.I was so close to giving up when I caught the whiff of something, - it was ver

AZALEA'S POV"Welcome Survivors!. " Alpha Henry's stern voice fills the air immediately I arrive, startling the sleep out of me. We all scurry into lines to listen as he takes his position on the huge rock."Today will be our last day in this camp as we advance once more, the mountains will only get steeper from here, and the night colder. I don't know what stories you've heard about the north before now, but take that and double it."People began to murmur."So no more slacking, this is war, you need to prepared, most of your training till now has been in human." he takes a dramatic pause, letting the tension build."As you know Black Lotus does not fight in human form, that means we will soon begin training with your wolves.""So why have we been doing all these stupid ass training if we are fighting as wolves?." Reid shouts from the crowd and others begin to whisper in agreement."I'm glad you asked." Alpha Henry jumps down from his rock and walks to Reid, the whole training ground
Last Updated : 2024-08-31KING'S MATE 43. LOVE STRUCK
HENRY'S POVI got off the transmitter with Eli back home telling him our plans and resume my tinkering. While the counsel of elders think my years in the human world have clouded my judgement, I managed to get a degree in Robotics and Machine learning which has been a huge blessing these past years.Back then I didn't know what I needed it for but it was the most exciting thing I could find to fill time when I returned to pack life and began crafting other measures for safety.Only Eli, Cedric and Ryder know about this, but I have been experimenting building a stronger electromagnetic field around the park land and perimeters able to not just prevent entry, but launch attacks on its own. The problem with this is the vast area of the alliance packs. We would have to build several grids in ten different areas.Our pack is wealthy, but the type of money needed is huge. Pack life thrives in the wild, concealed in deep dark unspoiled forests, building these magnetic grids might also jeopard
Last Updated : 2024-09-01KING'S MATE 44. EQUAL PAIN
AZALEA'S POVThe whole camp were whispering around me as I walked. I hated being the center of attraction like this, but its what it had come to. I didn't really care, I cared that I had impressed Alpha Henry who thought I was weak. But the consequence that comes with impressing him. Sigh."Just the woman I was looking for." Ryder announces with a rather loud voice as he walked up to me and Justin."Looking for?." I ask."Yes, you made quite a spectacle today, I wanted to personally congratulate you." He says with a laugh. Justin join in on the laugh."She is always making a spectacle, she's a total badass." Justin chimes and I send him a frown."I knew I liked you for a reason, miss gold." He says. I see why Alpha Henry trusts Ryder so much, he is the only one who has seen my wolf and has never mentioned it, I used to be worried that he would. He was also the second person to notice how new I was to my wolf.The first being my mate."I have never seen anyone get that close to Alpha He
Last Updated : 2024-09-03KING'S MATE 45. BIG WARNING
HENRY'S POV"Ryder might be on to something." Cedric says to me as soon as we leave the training grounds."About?." I ask with a scoff. Ryder might be a great fighter and wing man, but he is not exactly known for bright ideas."Azalea."I turn to him confused. "What about, Azalea?." I ask, pausing on her name. It sounds a bit odd as I say it out. I am used to other nick names for her. He looks around for a while before pulling me into the tent, "Your highness, you can keep using yourself as the test subject." He whispers.I fold my arms, staring at him, hoping he'd just get to the point."I am too old, Ryder reacted to the last prototype as well, his wolf is too wild.""Get to the fucking point Ced." I urge, scratching my eyebrow."Azalea is…….different, like you, I can feel it. She is also the only person in camp with the weakest wolf." He reasons. My stomach churns at the thought. I knew where he was headed, but I didn't like it.Her wolf isn't weak, she is just not active yet, for
Last Updated : 2024-09-04KING'S MATE 46. DARK EYES
AZALEA'S POVLike most times when he speaks, his words keep repeating itself in my head."….voluntarily gets taken."More questions grow on my mind as much as I thought it over, but I had been too dazed earlier to form any of those questions to him.Conspiracy theories began swirling in my head as I lay still. On one hand is the implanting the chip, on another is getting captured. It didn't seem right. I don't want to think of the possibility that this might have been his plan all along, attack our pack, kill our Alpha and Beta force us into soldiers for him with the chip in the pretense of ending Black Lotus. And we all foolishly think that he's some kind of savior. I can't remember when or how I fall asleep, but I wake like a clock work the next morning for training. During training I make sure I stay far away from Alpha Henry as possible. But his glares and frowns almost getting deadlier as we begin.There are many things I'm scared of, Black Lotus attacking once more. If Alpha He

KING'S MATE 70. WAR ACCESS
HENRY'S POVShaking his head with amusement. "Still the same hotheaded bastard, I see."Henry smirked and clasped Gray’s forearm in an elongated handshake I didn't think I remembered. "Still the same arrogant prick."I looked around quickly for Eli, its best I keep these two apart for a while.Gray chuckled before Henry's eyes landed on the woman beside him. She had bright brown eyes and an air of quiet confidence. My brows lifted. "Your mate?"Gray in a manner I've never seem him before stammered, avoiding eye contact and the girl—Emma, I assumed—cleared her throat. I crossed my arms. "Oh, this is interesting." They have definitely fucked. I arch an eyebrow at Gray laughing.He sighed as she gagged at my eyebrow, pulling me aside. "It’s…..Uh complicated. But listen, Emma has rare abilities. She saved my life, Henry. And she might be able to help us.""Help how?"Gray’s expression darkened. "She gets visions. She sees things others can’t."Emma gives a stressed laugh. "Okay, Lets —I ca
KING'S MATE 69. CAUTIONED CHAOS
HENRY'S POVI sat at the edge of my desk, my fingers pressing into my temples as I stared at the glowing map and countless computer screens before me. My eyes burned from lack of sleep, but I couldn't stop. I wouldn't stop.Azalea was out there, suffering, and I was stuck here, unable to do anything.I used to take huge pride in my collection of super computers with accuracy of 0.00001 to trace even the tiniest signals. I personally designed the tech lab myself, I gathered only the best from all around the world, Eli and the rest of the tech team are the very best among werewolves.Yet when it truly matters, the best computers and the best tech team can't seem to trace one person. Right now, as I stared and listened for the continuous chime and beeping from over 50 computers in every corner of the 1500 square feet lab I wanted to smash everything into tiny balls and set it all on fire.My frustration boiled over, and I slammed my fist against the table, the sound echoing through the ro
KING'S MATE 68. MONSTER GOD
AZALEA'S POVMy breath hitched, my heart hammering violently against my ribs as I tried to process the impossible. Kai. My brother.And yet, he stood there, grinning like a madman, his red eyes gleaming under the dim lights. The once familiar warmth in his gaze had been replaced by something dark, twisted, malevolent."K-Kai?" My voice was hoarse, cracking under the weight of my disbelief. "How are you.....alive?." I puased to ask. Till now, I had thought he was in the fight that night of the attack. I remember dad saying something about calling him. I didn't know if he died or survived, but Ryder had assured me that no one alive was left behind in the pack. His sinister smirk only widened as he stepped closer. "Oh, sister, don't look so surprised, I was never truly gone," he taunts, stepping closer. "Did you really think you were the only one who survived?"."Something was deeply wrong. My instincts screamed at me to get away, to fight, to do anything but remain vulnerable before him
KING'S MATE 67. RED EVIL
AZALEA'S POVMy eyes snap open with a start, and pain shoots through my entire body immediately. My vision is blurred at first, I could only see white light for a long second, my ears instantly ringing till the ceiling above starts to clear.My whole body feels heavy and battered, like I just survived a trainwreck, but I wouldn't even know what that feels like. The cold attacks my body, from my feet as I become aware of the feeling in the rest of my body, I lay flat, grimacing at the light, grunting at my dry throat, wincing at the pain and soreness and finally shivering from the cold. Makes me wonder how long I was unconscious.'Unconscious?'Looking around the large barely lit space I'm kept captive in. From what I can tell, I'm bound to a hospital bed of some sorts, beside the bed seems to be a heart machine that is not on, nor am I hooked up to it in any way.The rest of the room sure didn't look or smell like a hospital, the air was rather stale and dusty. It looked old, like an o
KING'S MATE 66. HER WOLF
HENRY'S POV 'That's the last set.' Ryder links me as the final glider rises to the air."Go round one more time." I tell the pilot, Sam instead of replying him. I see the looks they gave each other at my words, but I don't care. They know better than to defy me.I must find her tonight.I walk away from the cock pit turning to the two dudes on computers. I try to know most of the members of Eli's tech team by name but they keep changing. They continue yapping some geographical nonsense to each other typing away rapidly to the giant screens before them."How hard is it to fucking find a giant gold wolf?!."They all flinch, fear washing over their face.How fucking hard is it to trace her chip, how hard could it fucking be?"Still no sign alpha." I hear the pilot call out."Go around once more!.""We're low on jet fuel, Alpha." This time, its Ryder speaking. I shoot him a death glare and he holds my gaze instead of backing down.'Its been hours, I think its been established that we won'
KING'S MATE 65. MOVING PROMISES
AZALEA'S POVI join the rest of the crowd and split up into our assigned groups as we have been trained. All the while Alpha Henry was repeating instructions and all the cheering around me, I literally keep zonning out. My head is foggy and unable to concentrate. We make eye contact one more time, I guess his way of trying to calm me down which makes me wonder if he can sense that I am clearly disturbed. The last thign I would want is to cause a scene or delay this whole move because I am feeling a bit poorly or foggy. "Are you okay?" Casper whispers to me. I nod, before shaking my head.He cups my face and jerks his hand away quickly as if he had been burned."Fuck, you're boiling!.""Yeah." I laugh.He looks around to call someone but I stop him. I would die of embarrassment if he called any more attention to me. And I really don't want to be a reason we would delay the run this night. We are just minutes away from leaving this forest. I probably ate a wild berry and I'm having an
KING'S MATE 64. SERIOUS CONVERSATIONS
AZALEA'S POVI still dread these new found abilities, but Alpha Henry seems rather happy about it. Maybe because it made us similar in a way or because he always wanted to teach someone things he had learnt with his abilities, but until now it was not heard of.Even after so much practice, the only thing I am capable of is blooming flowers. That doesn't seem like a very useful ability unless Black Lotus were deathly allergic. He says he can see my powers swirl around me every time we try, that if I just concentrate more I would be able to unlock other parts of my abilities.What if the 'other parts' of my abilities are not as extra ordinary or are too dangerous?. We spent a few more minutes before having to return to camp separately."Where have you been?." Lexi asks me immediately I reach the clearing."Isn't it obvious, she smells like him." Justin replies looking over to Alpha Henry whose attention was on us, definitely not in the words Cedric was speaking, Lexi rolls her eyes and m
KING'S MATE 63. MY WOMAN
HENRY'S POVWe charge at each other, unleashing power aiming for each other's throats. I deliver the first blow to his side, peeling off a good chunk of his skin. He counters my attack however with a slash to my face, digging through my eyes.Without a second I recover, sending him to a near by tree. He comes at me again with full force, we tussle over reach other, biting and scratching at every turn. I make sure to target his neck multiple times.While I am a larger wolf in this fight, he has years of skill and training older than myself under his belt as well as the odds in his favor.'What’s wrong fire boy?.' He chimes prancing around me as I struggle to regain my footing. The earth is spinning under my paws. I can feel consciousness seep out of me.'Is that all you've got?.'Anger bubbles through me again as I let out a growl. He is baiting me to use my abilities knowing fully well that it would do more harm to the survivors of Blue Ivy than more harm to himself and his army. I sha
KING'S MATE 62. DEVIL HIMSELF
HENRY'S POVThe sun began to set and the entire camp gathered for what would be the last time in the deep of the forest. Eli confirmed the vehicles waiting at the other end of the forest to take us into Red Fire territory.As they all gathered, I let out a breath counting relieved that no one died and no one was missing.Yet I could not rejoice, because I knew at the back of my mind that, I had known all along, the feeling of dread that I could not shake since I arrived in Blue Ivy. Some thing would go terribly wrong.We split off into teams as usual, the children with the adults and a trained survivor in their group. This part of the journey was to be done in wolf. It is a tricky situation.Since the death of their Alpha, their link has been broken, and since the current situation didn't exactly favor a pack run, their bond as a pack has deeply weakened. It would be very difficult to keep everyone on track when they shift into wolf form.It would be hard to keep their wolves from goin
