Chapter Lorenzo's POV "You should have given Tegan the land he wanted," I said slowly, walking towards Alpha Kia before sitting beside him. "No that won't do, he's already a spoiled brat, I need him to learn some lessons, or else he won't be able to lead the pack in the future." Alpha Kai shook his head. "But wouldn't that hurt him since you've never denied me anything in his life?" I questioned, feeling rather curious as to the sudden change from Alpha Kai towards his son. "That's something inevitable. He's becoming more and more rotten, so there's no need for me to give him the land." Alpha Kai replied, raising his head to look at me. "But...." "I think that's enough, for now, Lorenzo, that's not what's bothering me now, I have a whole lot of important issues." Alpha Kai interrupted me just when I was about to continue with the conversion. "What's that on your mind?" I questioned my curiosity at its peak while I looked at Alpha Kai waiting for answers. "The diamond the thi
Lorenzo's POVThe man in front of me was staring at me, wide eyes open. His eyes were bulging out of their sockets as if they were going to fall any time soon.I frowned slightly looking at the man in front of me for a moment and couldn't help but be confused as to why he was shocked when he saw me.Looking over to Alpha Kai, I saw that he was fully focused on the man and didn't look my way. Seeing this, I breathed in a sigh of relief cause I was afraid that he might just misunderstand what was going on."Sir, we have tortured him to the best of our abilities, but he's not talking, we don't know what to do next." The guard standing in front of the cell said."Let me do it," I said, walking towards the cell."Open it." Alpha Kai commanded.The guard nodded and brought out the key to the cell, opening it and allowing me to enter the cell."Be careful, he might be dangerous." Alpha Kai warned."Yes." I nodded with a smile on my face.The man was not worthy enough to injure me, so I was n
Lorenzo's POV"Start talking already, or do you want me to make you do that?" I raised my browslooking at the man who was still being grabbed by the guard without a hint of mercy."Leave him." I turned to the guard and commanded."Yes ma'am." The guard nodded and left the man, then moved away from him a little."Are you going to provide the diamond now?" I asked, the frown on my face getting even deeper." I'll do that, allow me to provide it." The man said hurriedly, moving backward as if I were going to grab his head and shove it into the bowl."Gruuuu!"A gurgling sound emerged from his throat and it looked like he was about to throw up."What the heck are you doing?" The guard immediately burst out into a rage, thinking that the man was about to do something irritable."Stand back, you don't have to worry." I frowned, raising my hands to stop him from doing anything to the man.After a while, the man vomited a diamond and it landed on the floor with a clang.Alpha Kai's eyes open
Carmen's POV I walked towards Kai’s room with only one aim, I had to make him mine. Seeing him and Lorenzo together was hurting my feelings, I could not pretend that I did not care any longer. Lorenzo was nothing, I could not allow her to have what I wanted. I decided to take matters into my own hands, I had been expecting Kai to come to me but it seems he was faithful to his wife. I was going to meet him and change that. I wanted to knock on the door but decided against it, instead I walked into the room. I had gotten information that Lorenzo wasn't in the room so I had time to do whatever I wanted to do. “Hey Kai,” I greeted him cheerfully. He looked shocked to see me but quickly masked it and gave me a tight smile. “How are you Carmen?” he asked back warily. I walked towards him with a smile pasted on my lips, Kai was blessed by the moon goddess. He sat by the window with papers in his hands, the sun reflecting on his face displaying his manly features. He was too perf
ChapterCarmen’s POVAfter waiting for a few minutes, I finally came out of my hiding place. “Two fools,” I muttered angrily as I searched around for something.I was paranoid, Lorenzo had come in and ruined my perfect moment. Must that woman be everywhere? I wanted to tie her and take her somewhere far away but I couldn’t do that. Kai has feelings for Lorenzo, I could not say anything negative about her else I would lose him. I removed something from the back of my pocket before placing it in Kai’s shoe. “Mission accomplished,” I said to myself with a smirk. I looked around the room, hoping to see anything that could help me but my search was futile. I left the room sneakily before heading towards the hallways. I couldn't find anything in Kai’s room, knowing Kai wouldn't want to leave anything important lying around. I had to gain his trust back to gain access to information.“Hey, sorry can I speak with you?” I asked a pack member politely. My face was plastered with a smile as I
Lorenzo's POV I walked away angrily while muttering under my breath something inaudible to even myself. Walking briskly, I kept turning around, hoping Alpha Kai was going to call my name. Or he was going to run after me, telling me not to go. But at the moment, it seemed like I was living in the world of dreams. I didn't hear anything. Alpha Kai didn't even bother you to stand up from where he was. I couldn't even see his shadow. The only thing I did was his confused expression before I left. "You're such a dumbass, do you think he'll leave?" Muttered under my breath, blaming myself for expecting too much. I should have known that Alpha Kai was never going to come after me and just walked away. Even though I was thinking like this, I kept turning around to see if he was coming. I didn't know why, but I still held on to a thin rope, hoping he was going to call me back. But it was all a fantasy, I couldn't see even his shadow, not to talk of the whole person. "I'm such a foo
ChapterLorenzo's POV"What do you want?" I sneered, looking at Alpha Kai.Though I was a bit shocked, I hid it, not after realizing that It was already evening.He didn't come to explain himself, I was sure that he came just because he felt like coming, not because he cared about me."I'm sorry Lorenzo, but the situation earlier didn't let me come after you." Alpha Kai apologized"Humph!" I snorted coldly, not ready to look at him. I didn't want to care about what happened, neither was I going to care."You have to believe me, I did want to come, but Teagan and Carmen didn't let me." Alpha Kai continued, his voice still sounding apologetic."It's fine." I sighed and looked at Alpha Kai, whose gaze was gentle."Do you still love Carmen?" I inquired, my heart beating against my chest as though it was going to burst out.Alpha Kai's expression changed upon hearing my question. He was not expecting me to ask such a sensitive question."Just tell me, do you still have feelings for Carmen
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
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
