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
Lorenzo's POV I was sitting in a garden, dressed in white robes. As I looked around, I realized I was in a strange place but it seemed peaceful and calm.I felt connected to the place but something was amiss, Alpha Kai wasn't here with me and I had a feeling that he wanted to come, he just couldn't.Thinking about him, I decided to leave. As I got up, a voice broke like a thunderstorm, scaring me out of my wits. I sat down back, looking around, searching for the owner of the scary voice."Do not be afraid!" the same voice uttered, in a way to make me feel calm."I just want to get out of here!" I let out, feeling angry at the way the voice addressed me earlier."This is your place and you went through a lot before you were allowed here. I don't think you will want to leave for any reason," the voice replied, chuckling at the end."I'm still going to leave as I do not know my mission here!" I insisted but I still couldn't get up as I was still choked by the fear that had entered into
Lorenzo's POV "I just want to talk to the Alpha!" Rizzo insisted and buried his face in his hands again. Sitting down, he was plagued with a troubled mind, troubled to the extent of having shaking limbs.It was just five weeks after he was posted as the commander of the northern suburbs and there had been no problem since then.I kept wondering what had happened that left him so shaken like this. My eyes remained fixed on him with the will to help him but as he had refused to open up to me, I had no choice.Rizzo jumped up on his feet as Alpha Kai came into the throne room."I have failed you, you should not spare my life!" he cursed himself, to appease Alpha Kai who had no idea what was going on."I won't, if you deserve it!" Alpha Kai replied, which I wasn't sure if it was a joke or something else."The northern suburbs are just a part of our pack by name. They are the enemies within. Most of the inhabitants were always planning on how to seize the administration from you. They are
Lorenzo's POV We arrived at a small house. Going in, we were all amazed at the way the interior seemed so different from what someone would expect from the outside. It was designed to deceive a stranger."Alpha Kai, behold this!" Rizzo removed a blanket off a shelf and we all moaned when we saw what was underneath the covers."Are these not wolf bane?" Vera asked, shivering with fear at the sight of the large transparent jars that were neatly arranged in front of us."Exactly! What are these meant for?" Rizzo asked rhetorically before leading us to another part of the small house. Pulling off another cover, we found arrows made from silver separated into two parts."No, they are lacing silver arrows with wolf bane?" Alex bursted out as all of us watched in awe."This isn't their only base, my lord! We have no time to waste, if they worked so hard like this and kept it secret, who knows what else is going on? I'm so afraid of these people right now. They need to be stopped!" Rizzo exc
Rizzo's POV Looking at Alpha Kai's face, Lorenzo seemed to have noticed that he was ready to go all out against Vera but held back due to some reasons. Judging by how well I knew him, it was only a matter of minutes before Phil's lab would become a battle ground between a strong Alpha and a wicked witch."Let it rest, Vera!" Lorenzo held Vera and turned to stand in between them.I kept watching through my nearly closed eyes with the pain dealing with me, all over my body, through every veins.Vera's breath was already hot as it evaporated while grazing Lorenzo's skin but not as hot as Alpha Kai's whose hot breath was frying her from behind.I didn't want to die and I was already regretting why I was even a part of this plan. I just want revenge against Alpha Kai but now my main focus was winning it for Alpha Mark who didn't even care about what I wanted."If you are being honest, you know that Alpha Kai has been making some ridiculous decisions recently, and now he is jeopardizing yo
Lorenzo's POV I was back at the garden, cladded in white robes like the other day. But I had a strange feeling, it was fear. I felt overwhelmed by it. Looking around with fright, trying to catch a sight of someone, I heard a voice."Are you afraid?" the voice asked, reeking of hostility."Is that you? I am afraid, please. Is that you, Zybal?" I asked, my voice low, to plead."It's me, the great Zybal. Are you afraid of your own shadows because I am not scary," Zybal responded with a hint of mockery."I felt like I shouldn't be here. Can I take my leave, please?" I begged, with my heart unease."You will be afraid, because you disobey a prophecy. That's a sign to the goddess that you are an evil agent. You are now in a trial time, you might be banned from coming here in future or if you pass, a different story," Zybal clarified, without showing herself to me, I started feeling connected to her.I was pleased to hear that I might not be allowed in this garden anymore, at least, I woul
