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
Lorenzo's POV The following day, I got up from the patient's bed after I had regained some of my strength. Despite being on the sick bed and not going out, my ears were full of the epidemic that was dealing with the pack.The worst of the problem was, it couldn't be identified. A lot had already died with a lot to join them soon if the cure wasn't found.In the palace hallway, it was as silent as a graveyard with no one in sight and no audible footsteps. I scampered to the throne room which was also empty, with the absence of Alpha Kai's throne that had been turned to ashes.Getting to the palace yard, I met Phil who was rushing back into the palace with some plants."My lady, you are not supposed to be walking around with your little strength and you shouldn't be out here because of the epidemic." He came to my side to support me and take me back to his lab."I'm okay now. Where's Alpha Kai and the others?" I asked while searching around with my eagle eyes. "They have gone out to t
Carmen's POVI had been standing for a couple of minutes in front of the king's prison. Alpha Mark was clearly devastated, the fake demeanor that he used to put on was nowhere to be found on him."Alpha Mark, haven't you been so careless about this?" I asked with remorse, I couldn't picture where this would end but I was sure it would end in a bad way for all of us.Hearing my voice, he kept his head down, not giving me the reaction I expected."Staying mute without interacting is surely not the way out!" I continued my quest to bring words forth from him."Whenever you are planning, make sure you expect to fail or else you will find yourself to blame," Alpha Mark recited with calmness as if he was reading a quote to himself. He finally looked up at me, he was neither sad nor happy but he was unbroken."You have planned to fail?" I didn't catch what he was trying to pass."No one plans to fail, but be prepared for it. I am prepared for this! I have anticipated that this might go this
