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.

    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

    Lorenzo's POV Alex fell on one of his knees instantly. He interlocked his fingers and placed his hands in front of his slightly bowed head. "Alpha Kai, I took responsibility for all that I did and I am ready to face the punishments attracted by my actions." He went lower to appear down-to-earth. I was worried that he didn't add more details. His speech seemed like he was just surrendering himself instead of apologizing and explaining his side of the story. "I'm sure you know what you deserve. You committed mass murder and attacked me, twice!" Alpha Kai raised his voice at him with anger. Everyone in the throne room was shaken, except Alex who seemed to have accepted whatever was coming to him. "You gave me a near-death experience. I was laid down for hours. Do you know what that means?" Alpha Kai's rage seemed like it wouldn't be easily subsided. "It simply means you attack the whole pack, exposing us to more danger by making us vulnerable after sending our protector to

    Teagan's POV I thumped my foot on the ground to confirm if something had happened that changed the looks of our destination. "This is the place. I'm damn sure about it," I said to Bridget to call her back. She was already wandering away into another part of the woods "I don't think so. There were three tall trees that formed a triangle around us on that day. Where are those trees now?" She didn't want to accept that I was right. Though I couldn't prove my point but my instincts kept telling me I was right. I winced as I saw Bridget stopping in her tracks, out of frustration. "Can you just tell me why you insisted that we should come back here? We gave him a job and he failed." I folded my arms on my chest and stared at Bridget with anger. I would never understand the way she made up her thoughts and decisions. "He failed? Yes. But you should remember he took the job that a lot of people were running away from. He took the job gladly and tried his best." Bridget still didn

    Lorenzo's pov I watched in horror, as Bridget trembling in the ground, her soul slowly slipping out of her body. I screamed and tears blurred my eyes as I cradled my sister's lifeless body, this is the second person I will be losing to Teagan today. Anger surged in me at the thought of it, he's going to pay for their lives. I stood up and gave a fierce roar and raced into the palace to find Teagan. I must find him, I vowed, and when I do he's going to pay for the lives he took. As I ran, my heart was heavy with rage and grief at the same time, I could feel the rage surging through me. Teagan will pay for what he has done. He has awakened a beast. My feet echoed off as I pounded down the palace corridor, my eyes blazing with fury. I could smell Teagan, a faint scent but unmistakable, it led me deeper into the palace walls. My power surged through me, fueling my strength and speed as his scent grew thicker. Then I hear footsteps ahead growing fainter. I followed the soun

    Teagan's pov I snarled as I charged towards my father, I knew I was in for the fight of my life. Our blades clashed, sparks flew as we exchanged blow after blow I knew I was no match for him but I was not going to give up either. "I don't understand why you won't die at once, why must you come back" I said to him as our swords clashed. He landed a solid kick to my stomach and I fell and rolled on the ground. "You are no match for me, Teagan," he said and spat "You are meant to be the Alpha it's your birthright but sending people to kill your own father so you can be the Alpha is something else, you are just so desperate". I grunted, and quickly stood back up," My birthright?, oh you think I don't know how you and that bitch Lorenzo have been planning to give that birthright away". Our swords clashed, "First you stole my mate, I let that slide and you still expect me to sit while you take my birthright". He gave me a hard punch to my jaw, which made me stumble back, "stol

    Lorenzo's pov The night we've been nervously waiting for has arrived, the moon was shining bright in the sky as we prepared to move to the palm tree to wait for Rizzo as planned. As we were waiting for Rizzo's arrival, I was lost in my thoughts, I stared at my barely visible baby bump and thought about everything that led us here. I thought about everything that I'd gone through and wondered what the outcome of this battle was going to be and what the future holds for us. I have always been confident about my fighting skills but suddenly felt scared about this battle. I looked at Kai, Vera, and Alex and I could see they were lost in thoughts also. Not so long after that Rizzo finally made his way towards us. "Ready?", I asked Rizzo my voice barely audible, after waiting for him for what seemed like an eternity. He nodded in response "Let's move out" then signaled to his men hiding in the nearby bushes. I Ied my team to the east gate, our sword drawn. We had to move fast

    Kai's pov The following night, Vera and Alex met Rizzo, Lorenzo, and I met up again in Rizzo's living room to go over the plan but this time around with a sense of urgency and focus. "Okay let's go over this again," Alex said with a sharp voice. "Alpha Kai's team will take out the guards at the main entrance of the palace. Lorenzo's team will make an entrance through the east gate and take all the guards there down. After the guards are clear then I and my team will come in". We all nodded in response, our face set with determination and passion. What's the timeline? Vera asked "The feast is starting at night and I will have to be there" Rizzo replied "Once is midnight I will sneak out of the feast and meet you guys at the old palm tree and from there we will move into positions, and then we will make our moves". We went over the plan a few more times making sure everyone took note of their move and timing. As we finished the meeting, I felt fulfilled and grateful to m

    Kai's pov We moved swiftly through the shadows, the moon cast its glow over the pack territory. I scanned the surroundings it was just how I remembered. The air was thick with a familiar scent, I felt a thrill of mixed feelings as Lorenzo and I slipped past the guards and made our way into the pack disguised as traders. I scanned everywhere to look for Alex then suddenly a dark figure emerged from the darkness. It was Alex, "I've been waiting for you" his voice was low and urgent", there's been a last-minute change of plan, Meet us at Rizzo's place" and with that he walked away. My heart skipped a beat this was unexpected, we had planned to make move tonight, I looked at Lorenzo and she rolled her eyeball. My mind was racing with different questions, why weren't they sticking with the original plan, why the last-minute change? As we walked to Rizzo's place "I hope Rizzo isn't trying to back out now cause I don't trust him" Lorenzo mumbled Our senses were on high alert as

    Lorenzo's pov "Lorenzo, Alpha Kai" Vera said with her eyes widened and she covered her mouth with her hands. Tears gathered at the corner of her eyes," I knew it, I knew you were still alive, I could still feel you around" she said with a low steady voice "I miss you witch", I said laughing, "I was so glad I was still able to reach you through this portal "I waited, days, weeks, months for you to reach out to me through it but later gave up since I saw no message," Vera said still shocked. She kept exchanging gazes between Kai and me as if to confirm if it wasn't a dream. I gave her details about everything that happened to us, from meeting Tina to Kai finding me, and the attack in the forest, I told her everything without missing any details. "Vera, we need your help, Kai and I want to come back to take our place, but we want to know the situation over there and make a proper plan before doing that," I said with my voice barely audible. Kai nodded in agreement"We want

    Lorenzo's pov My eyes were on Alpha Kai as he sat on a chair sitting strong and composed, it was a sight I thought I would never see again. It's been weeks since I ran with Alpha Kai on my back to Tina's cottage to ask for her help, my heart aches anytime I remember the state I brought him in. But now he's recovering all thanks to Tina's help and care, and his broad shoulders and chest are once more radiant, I still find it hard to believe that someone I met randomly while running away from my mate could play a big role in my life. I smiled as I stirred the pot of soup I was cooking in the kitchen, I couldn't help but I felt relieved and peaceful, I had forgotten all about why I was running from Alpha Kai that day, and all the resentment had now vanished, I even blame myself for the attack in the forest because if I wasn't running away they won't have gotten the chance to attack us. Tina smiled at Alpha Kai as she came into the cottage, wrinkles formed at the corner of her eyes

    Bridget pov "OMG, Teagan is going crazy there's nothing anybody can tell me," I said to myself pacing back and front in my chamber "How could he do something like that to Carmen, she helped his sorry life". I went to the throne room to patiently wait for him till he came back. My eyes narrowed at Teagan as he walked inside the throne room, fuming the anger I started shouting at him "You are the most ungrateful person I've ever met in my life, you are the betrayal here, you betrayed someone that helped you, without her I'm sure you won't be here" I said nodding towards the throne "yet you killed her you ungrateful bastard". "She is a spy, don't you know what that means, everything she did for me was also part of their plan, they will eventually kill me the same way they killed my father. She's a threat to our pack" Teagan said justifying his actions. My eyes twisted in anger" You are the most selfish person ever, you counted her as a threat and you decided to eliminate her".

    Teagan's pov I stood on the podium in the middle of the town, I could see everyone crumbled in the square, the sun cast a golden glow over the town, the air was thick with tension, my eyes were cold and stern, the executioner, Rizzo, and the elders of the clan were standing beside me. A loud murmur erupted from the crowd as they paved to make way for the guards bringing Carmen bound with heavy chains, her eyes heavy, full of unspoken words as she was led to the podium. The guards halted at the front of the podium and Carmen was forced to her knees before me, her eyes tried to hide her emotions but I could see the fear behind them. "Carmen Eudora, a spy from Sliver Moon Park" Rizzo announced his voice ringing out across the town's square " you took our pack's kindness for granted, you've been found guilty of treason against the crescent moon pack, and by the order of the Alpha you have been sentenced to death by beheading". A loud noise came from the crowd immediately after Riz
