Lorenzo’s POVI lodged into an inn with a heavy heart. I could not believe that my relationship with Kai was based on lies. He had lied to me constantly about him and Carmen and I had fallen for everything like a fool that I am. “Are you okay ma'am?” someone asked me as I walked to my room. I shot the person with a forced smile before walking down to my room. I had been here for over an hour now, expecting Kai to be here but he wasn't. I guess I was just bluffing, thinking he would actually care for me. I was right, after all, Alpha Kai never loved me. The only person he truly loved was Carmen, I was just someone he had met. Tears strolled down my eyes at that realization, I had been fooled. I refuse to believe it was true. I still hoped Kai would show up in front of my door apologizing for his attitude but it was all hope. My door dinged, and I leaped in the hope that it was Kai. Who else would be here anyway? I opened the door to see a young lady. “Room service, do you need a
Carmen’s POVI sneaked out of the pack house. I had made sure everyone was sleeping before sneaking out. Alpha Mark has been giving me signals all day, I needed to report to him all that has been happening. “You should not be doing all the message things all the time, you will get me caught,” I said once I entered the room Mark was in. “You know how much I can't do without you baby,” he said, turning to face me with a smirk. I don't know how I had fallen in love with this man but I was madly in love with him now and there was nothing I could do about it. I never liked Kai, he was never my type. I barely always tolerate him these days but sex with Kai is also good but not like Mark’s. Mark walked towards me before placing a rough kiss, I groaned into the kiss savoring his lips. “Wait, let me report what I came here to say,” I said in between the kisses. “This is the reason you came here baby,” Mark said, squeezing my ass. “I managed to separate Lorenzo and Kai. I told Teagan
LORENZO’S POV I walked around the hotel room trying to make a decision. I was at a crossroads, any decision I made now was going to affect my relationship with Kai.I remembered what Vera had said to me yesterday. She wasn't lying, I knew Kai loved me. Everything was fine till Carmen came, what if all of this was just a manipulation by Carmen? This was a test in our marriage, if I left without fighting then our marriage might crash. “I cannot let that happen, I love Kai and I know he loves me back,” I said to myself. I walked to the closet and I started packing my things back into my luggage. I was going back to the pack house to fight for my marriage. Besides, I had to be sure if Kai truly still loved Carmen.I would be able to make my decision once I find out the truth of the whole issue. I packed my bag and quickly had my bath before stepping out of my hotel room. I did not bother to step out of my room since I got here, I was so devastated with what had happened.
Lorenza pov My body aches from crying throughout the whole night, regretting everything and cursing Carmen, all I wanted that morning was to have a hot steamed bath and breakfast. I just wanted to clear my head off everything going on but then I remembered Kyla, the girl I saved and brought in the other night so I told a maid to tend to her needs and bring her to me later. A few hours later, Kyla came to see me as I had ordered she was looking so tired and weak I could see buries all over her. "How are you doing now?" I asked her as I settled on a chair. "I'm okay better than before" she replied shyly and I got a better view of her, she didn't really look attractive, could that be the reason they were bullying her I wondered. "Okay, that's good to hear, but please what happened between you and those guys yesterday that led to them beating you up" I asked curiously hoping she would shed light on the incident. She broke down in tears and that took me surprisedly, she narrat
Rizzo's pov I walked towards the hiding place Alpha Mark summoned me I could hear his voice at the top laughing with the other person with him. I walked in and saw Carmen sitting beside Alpha Mark with her head on his shoulder smiling sheepily. They adjusted the moment they noticed my presence," oh I can see you are here" Alpha Mark said with a big smile like, he knew what was on my mind he apologized for summoning me without any notice. Lately, I've grown tired of him bossing me around claiming the war on Alpha Kai was for me meanwhile it's all in his selfish interest. The few times I spent with Alpha Kai and the few sacrifices he made for me left a soft spot for him in my heart, the hatred I have towards him suddenly disappeared and I realized he's not a bad man I just got everything wrong and the quest for revenge was no longer in me.."I called you here because I have important news for you, I know we've tried our best to bring that foolish Kai down but all seems to fail but
Carmen's pov I stood at the front of the mirror in my room heading out to start my mission, bring Teagan to our side, and come in between Kai and Lorenzo. I packed my hair up in a ponytail and stepped out of my chamber making sure I paid attention to every detail of my dress, I was putting on a body-fitted blue dress, and I made sure I looked stunning to get Kai's attention. I made sure Lorenzo was not around as I had been informed earlier she went to town. I made sure Kai was in his bed chamber before I went to him, I placed a knock on his door "Who's there" he said. with his thick masculine voice. It's me Carmen I said as I opened to door to go in. I could see he was surprised. "Hmm, I was just passing by and thought I should say hi it's been a while I said looking around and making sure we were the only one in the room. "Thank you," he said not even sparing me a glance. " I think we should finish what we weren't able to the last time I was here," I said trying to look
Lorenzo's pov I ran as fast as my legs could carry me, I could hear Kai's footsteps behind me, heavy and determined. My heart raced as I brushed my arms against the trees, my legs aching as I ran through the forest. I've been running for what feels like hours, but I know I can't stop now. I can't let him catch up with me. I kept running between the trees, breathing in gaps. I heard him calling my name, but I did not turn around. I stared at the long way ahead. Never have I felt so scared, or terrified. What if he gets me? What excuse will he give me for meeting him and Carmen like that? I brushed the thoughts away and kept running. Then I heard the sound of rushing water up ahead hopefully I could leave him in the river. I erupt from the forest and see a glittering of water under the sunlight. I did not hesitate, I dived into the icy water, the water was so cold it sent shivers down my spine. I paddled with the current of the water, swift and confident. I sensed him staring at m
Kai's pov It's been hours since I started running after her, my legs are sore and aching and my head is on fire. She's just at my front running as fast as she could to get away from me. I clenched my teeth and ran faster, following her as she was speeding away. She has all right to be angry, she has all reason to run from me. I guess I'm not any different from Teagan after her, she trusted me and I betrayed her, she has all the reasons to run away from me like I'm a monster. I can remember the look on her face when she caught me and Carmen; it was full of anger and hatred. It hurts to even think of how she sees me now, I just want to explain myself even though I have no excuse, but now she's on a run away from me. But as I ran I thought of what pushed me to lay with Carmen, she didn't force me, if I had said no she would have left, but something kept pushing me to have a taste of her one more time, perhaps it was my lust. It then dawned on me that I had lost her, she had disappear
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
