Lorenzo's POV The walls shook as Alpha Kai kicked the door. Pounding his feet on the ground, he came to the bedside without looking at my face. He took off his scabbard and dropped on the bed without a word. Anger had eaten him up and I was sure this was about his altercation with Teagan. As his partner, I knew I needed to be concerned about his wellbeing. But, I had been noticing that he didn't like talking with anyone about Teagan, he loved him deeply to that extent. I could feel how angry he was, being offended by the one he loved most. 'Or am I mistaken? Does he use to act like this if he is angry with Teagan? What have I done wrong? Has Teagan told him anything about me that made him feel so bad?' "Are you okay?" I knew he would be obligated to reply to me. He was the Alpha but he hated disrespecting anyone even his subjects. "I am not okay. How can I be okay? I can't be?" His response was filled with sadness and his tone was screaming about disappointment. I moved
Lorenzo's POV "Didn't you have any dreams?" Alpha Kai asked as Vera came into the throne room. He had run out of patience before she arrived. "Dreams? I slept so peacefully last night, like a baby. Everywhere was peaceful. I didn't catch anyone lurking around the island. But why do you look so worried, my lord?" Vera's face was relaxed, it was evident that she had a peaceful night she claimed. "You slept peacefully when I was fighting a war with the invisible warrior. And you are a member of the Council of Protectors? I'm coming back to you. Alex, do you also have a peaceful night?" He turned to Alex who had already dropped his head in shame. "I'm so sorry, Alpha Kai. Where the hell was I that you had to fight the invisible warrior by yourself? I will chop off my ear to appease you." He stood up and raised his axe above his head. "Do you want me to chop it off?" He hesitated. Phil quickly cleared his throat. He knew he was the next to be questioned. "I can see some cuts on
Lorenzo's POV The whole Pack was thrown into mourning. Alpha Kai was the last to arrive in the yard. Only a few members of the pack, who had the heart to watch the gory scenes that would unfold soon, came. Darius was dragged to the arena where a pyre had been set for his lynching. They took him to the top and tied him to a pole directly above the highest point of the pyre. The initial judgment was to behead him but Alpha Kai had changed it, he wanted to hear his cries while he would burn. Alpha Kai had settled on his throne, waiting for the guards to get off the pyre and Elder Rick to read out Darius's crimes to him. I remembered Schraff's story and how it later led to the death of two members of the Council of Protectors. Something Like that should be avoided at all costs. "There's something I would like to talk about," I leaned toward Alpha Kai and whispered to him. "Whatever you wanted to talk about, can wait and if it can't wait, it's already late," he responded wit
Lorenzo's POV It was almost midnight. I was suddenly awoken by some strange sounds coming from outside the room. Alpha Kai was sound asleep. I hissed as I realized that I had been too suspicious for no reason. I laid back to continue my sleep. Alpha Kai would have been the first to wake if there was something wrong. As I was getting ready to sleep, I realized that I couldn't. A part of me just didn't allow me. I got up and started walking around the room. Suddenly, I saw a faint shadow ran across the compound as I looked out the window. I was sure I saw someone but the guards were all over the palace. They would definitely catch whoever was bold enough to be snooping around the palace. The next thing I heard was a violent knock at the door. Alpha Kai was jolted awake at once. The knocks kept coming until Alpha Kai opened the door. Alex came in dropping two guards on his shoulders, they were lifeless. "You, Kai. You have been thinking highly of yourself. I am here to pu
Lorenzo's POV This was to be a game, a long one. Vera was protecting her love, Alex. I also had to do the same for Alpha Kai. She was an old witch but I was the Luna, the first she wolf of the pack. I was the ghost wolf, the destroyer. I shook the bars at Alex's cell vigorously, to alert him. He looked up from his sitting posture. There were lots of shackles knotted around him. More than he could escape with. He looked beaten, with numerous bruises that weren't healing, all over him. "Are you ready to get out of this place, Alex?" I saw a deep mark running across his face as our eyes met and my heart beat faster as I felt unexpected pity towards him. He was surely in great pain but he still gave off a wicked smile. "Yes, I want to get out of here. I want to hold Kai's neck and strangle it until he breathes his last!" he exclaimed, clenching his fist with his face darkened. I was surprised to hear him. I thought he would be full of regrets by now. I ignored his nonsens
Lorenzo's POV All the dungeons kept shaking as Alex yelled at the top of his voice. He was obviously going through some pain. I stood at the gates of the cell, trying to make sure Alpha Kai didn't get to know about what was going on down here. "Why is he yelling like that? Can you keep it low?" I finally inquired after I had gotten fed up with the yelling. "I think the shackles are sending the spirits back into his body. He is in great pain and I'm afraid that's how he will keep yelling," Vera replied, straining her voice. I leaned into the cell and saw Alex, he was now seated in the middle of some drawings made by Vera, who was already sweating. "The spirits? The same ones that need to be sent out?" I noticed that Alex's face had become calm and he seemed cooperative except for the noise. "Yes, this shouldn't take more than two minutes but the shackles are making it hard," Vera sounded like she was on the verge of losing her patience. "You have taken more than enough t
Alpha Kai's POV "That's all we want clarifications about. If anything is wrong, we should be among the first set of people to know," Elder Bard divulged to me with his shaky head and voice while Elder Rick nodded to show his support for his words. I felt a little disappointed by them. They were the elders of this pack that I used to regard highly. Unfortunately, they had stooped so low, acting and confronting me about rumors. There were better ways to discuss trivia issues like this but they chose to make my problems more complicated instead of making them less severe with proper assistance. "Have you lost confidence in me as the Alpha? Do I look like I have lost the ability to continue the stabilization of this pack? Or can you tell me the rules that I have gone against since I have been in power?" I had countless questions bothering my mind due to the pain I got from their disappointment. "It seems Alpha Kai had misunderstood the words of Elder Bard. We are not here to qu
Lorenzo's POV A few hours earlier, I heard some strange wind blowing in the bedchamber as I was locked up in the dark closet. I couldn't guess what was happening but it felt like I was losing my sanity. After a while, I became bothered and started questioning myself. Had I been possessed? Why would I be helping a man who was hellbent on killing my Alpha mate? Was Vera deceiving me to use me? Why would she do that? What would she gain from that? Did she have to gain anything before showing her wickedness? I knew I would get out of this, it might not be soon though. I believed Alpha Kai would never sentence me to death, he might send me into his dungeons for years and I would come back strong, strong enough to punish Vera for manipulating me. Suddenly, I heard the closet being unlocked from outside after the loud wind had subsided. The closet opened and I put out my foot. Vera stood in front of me, waiting for me to come to her. "You again?" I asked and she nodded. "Yes
