Lorenzo's POV An hour earlier.Luckily, the chamber closest to Cassie's chamber was empty and it had become my second chamber, just to keep an eye on her.I was always in the doorway to catch her movement. In the few days that I had started spying on her, I had realized that there was a guard working with her.I still couldn't identify this guard but I knew that we were in great danger if our guards couldn't be trusted. Cassie's case was also beyond something that we should take with levity. Yet, Alpha Kai was taking her side against all odds.Resuming in my position this morning, I caught Cassie sneaking out of the palace wearing a cloak just like the first day she came into our island.I followed her but I retreated after I realized that she was going out of the island. It was beyond what I could handle singlehandedly.Rushing back into the center of the island, I went in search of Vera. She was in her house, refreshing or doing what I could only describe as playful magical session
Alpha Kai's POV I knocked on the door of Carmen's chamber with gentleness. Realizing that she had started holding back and staying indoor a lot, I decided to pay her a visit to cheer her up.There was nothing so bad in attempting to win an old lover's heart and that was what she did. The bad thing was not being remorsed for a bad mistake. She had accepted her mistakes and apologized. She deserved to be punished a little bit but I would waiver it due to our past history together.She opened the door. Seeing me standing with a bright smiling radiant face, she was overwhelmed with awe and I could see the little girl's behavior that attracted me to her in those days, washing over her."Alpha Kai, I'm sorry. No one came to deliver your message to me. I will join you in the throne room right now!" A little bit of fear was visible in her eyes."No one delivered my message because I sent no one to you. I have come to spend some time with you in your chamber." I waltzed into the chamber with
Lorenzo's POV “Let's get back home!” Vera seemed troubled, she turned back and rushed out of the woods while I trailed her.Back at Vera's house, she made her magical drawing and sat down in the center, inhaling deeply with her eyes closed.Feeling clueless and left out, I leaned towards her, muttering, “And what am I supposed to do?” I was the one that detected Cassie's and her evil intentions but Vera had taken over the case without bothering to carry me along.Vera opened one of her eyes, which was somehow filled with anger. “Problem is imminent. We need to be fast before the enemies take us down from within.”Her words were so hot that I felt heat grazing my skin.‘Have I not been warning her all these days? Why did she become so serious all of a sudden?’I wasn't satisfied as I hadn't gotten my question answered. “Four hands are faster than two. I can't just stand and watch!” Closing her eyes back, she shook her head. “I just wanted to check what is coming in the future. You c
Lorenzo's POV I couldn't phantom what had happened. I was sure I heard fighting sounds and noises as blades clashed. The frightened look on Vera's face also affirmed that she heard the same.I looked closely at Alpha Kai's and Teagan's face. There was no hostility in their eyes but they were obviously the one that were fighting.“Did anyone break in?” I asked despite being sure there was no case of break in.“Break-in? You know that's not possible. I was the one that was checking if Teagan had the wherewithal of being an Alpha and I wasn't disappointed,” Alpha Kai replied to me, breathing heavily.There was a trace of blood on Teagan which he quickly wiped off as I fixed my eyes on him.Vera leaned closer to me and whispered.“This is more than what they think. It's a bad omen for a son to raise arms against his father.” She looked into my eyes and shook her head after her whispers.“That's a joke. We are here for a more serious issue, Alpha Kai!” I expected him to send Teagan out wi
Lorenzo's POV Alpha Kai gathered the top wild warriors that were highly skilled in combat, possessing wild strong wolves. There were only twenty of them but they were believed to be stronger than most armies."We have gotten some information that some people are roaming around us, waiting for us to put down our guard and strike us. But they have made a mistake, they have just presented themselves to us on a platter." Alpha Kai's didn't include me in his plan and he wasn't hiding the fact.I understood why he did that but it was not an ideal idea from him.The warriors started grumbling with smiles on their faces. They kept staring at each other, teasing themselves. They seemed certain that they would warn whatever force was coming to them."The information is not detailed so we don't know where they are actually but we have an idea. We are searching every ten miles radius from here, underneath the water, on top of the ground and hanging in the air. We must find them and eliminate the
Carmen's POV"Tell him that the tournament is sealed. It will happen in..." I stopped as I noticed the strange security guard that had refused to give me his name, muttering some words."...In two days' time. Alpha Mark already knows." His lips were tightly as if he had not spoken in days, staring at me waiting for more information from me."Good thing that he is all knowing so he should understand when I ask to be carried along in his plan. What is his next line of action?" I was only interested in knowing that, not for any reason other than feeling like a part of the team and not just a tool."I don't know, my lady." His response was quick and full of meaning, he didn't seem honest."That's why I said, you ask him!" I screamed as I gradually became angry. I now understood how it felt to be a servant that kept obeying orders without knowing the reason why they were made. It was a horrible experience.The guard shook his head to disagree and I felt disrespected by his audacity."I am
Lorenzo's POV As the fireball got closer, a sudden fear rose in my chest and I also became frozen, not knowing what to do. My leg hit Alpha Kai's throne, as if it was swung by some unseen forces, throwing Alpha Kai away before the ball destroyed the throne, turning it to ashes.I got up and grabbed Alpha Kai who was still finding it hard to get on his feet. It was pathetic, seeing a strong Alpha like him struggling to stand.The crowds scattered in all directions, running helter skelter. Some armed men in their wolves form ran towards me and Alpha Kai. Pulling Alpha Kai to his feet, I dragged him along into the palace. The men were surely coming after him and the only thing I could do now, was to run to safety and hide."We have to get you to safety!" I yelled at Alpha Kai as he resisted me. It seemed like he wanted to stay and fight the attackers which was impossible in his present state."The palace is the safety and we are under attack already!" He tightened his teeth, rooting hi
Lorenzo's POV "Opened, Alpha Mark!" Vera moved away, giving space for Alpha Mark to reach us."Didn't I tell you that an hour is too long for me? It is not even up to ten minutes yet!" Alpha Mark pulled me, as I was still overwhelmed with awe.Vera brought out a silver dagger out of nowhere and stabbed Alpha Mark on the shoulder, pushing him into the prison.Alpha Kai and I rushed out of king's prison, locking Alpha Mark inside, looking at us with sheer surprise."You are the most foolish to think I will betray my pack because of your empty promises. To hell with you!" Vera spat on him through the bars."Don't think you have won because you locked me in here. My hand is still on your necks. Congratulations Vera, for picking the wrong side." Alpha Mark had gotten over his astonishment and he still looked hopeful despite no clear chances of getting out."I thought you are really betraying us, Vera!" Alpha Kai expressed his surprise with joy, turning away from Alpha Mark."Never, Alpha
