Shyla’s P.O.V. “You shouldn’t be anywhere near the fight, baby girl. Leave!” Hayden took me as a sacred little omega girl, terrified to see the bloodshed during the attack. He sent me to my apartment, his sired vampire made sure that I didn’t try to escape from the door. Unlike the normal delicate girls in the pack, I was pretty adventurous. Watching werewolves bloodied fights was my hobby, it was the only entertainment for me in the Blood Moon Pack. This interest was a gift of my previous failed relationship, where I, the most unimpressive girl, was secretly in love with the pack’s handsome Alpha. Sounds cliché, right? It wasn’t that the Blood Moon Pack didn’t have other hot smoky bachelors, but my eyes were set on that pretty boy, who bought me. Raymond was like my savior, taking me out of that hellhole at such a young age. I worshiped him silently after observing a teenage slave being raped at the auction’s stage. Her owner’s words still echoed in my mind. “This girl is
Maddox’s P.O.V. “How dare you lie to your father, Alpha Maddox? Did I teach you to be a liar?” My dad was roaring in fury, not ready to cut me some slack. “Truth is the first and foremost duty of a King. How can you deceive me with your lies about your Erasthai ?” After dealing with my nosy officials the entire day, I was hearing my dad’s lecture about the virtue of a true King. Firstly, it was out of mind that why everyone was so interested in my personal life, with whom I slept was none of the Royal Council’s business. Then my dad’s urgency to introduce Shyla to others, like what was the hurry? He was very well aware that my Erasthai was already pregnant, wasn’t it a grave matter to solve? However, my dad didn’t like my explanation and kept calling me Alpha Maddox, a sign that he wasn’t treating me like his son now. “This isn’t acceptable, Alpha Maddox. Aborting a child takes minutes, and medicine has progressed enough to heal your Erasthai quickly. But
Maddox’s P.O.V.“What did you do to my omega?”My royal command shook the doors and windows of that ominous place, I was literally out of control after spending five minutes there. Almost ten vampires had my Erasthai’s scent on them, it was out of my feral mind what they had done to my omega.Zeth pushed forward to take control over me, he was growling ferociously,“Our Kitten is delicate like a crystal. How could she defend herself against these monsters?”The scenes of her possible misery shattered my soul, her screams, and tears cut through my heart. I simply wished to set my entire kingdom on fire and then jump into it. I had lost the credibility to be a King after failing to protect my Erasthai.Those puny vampires kneeling on the floor trembled with fear, their repeated “we didn’t kill an omega” short-circuited my brain. I grabbed a leech’s neck and was about to snap it when Magnus dragged two more vampires out of private rooms.“They also had Shyla’s scent. What should w
Shyla’s P.O.V “Now, it’s time for you to get scared, omega!” My all dreams of a happy reunion shattered with a single blow of reality, waking me up from a deep slumber. I was back to the real world where my mate was still thirsty for my unborn child’s blood. He was the same King, who was inconsiderate of my emotions as a first-time mother, all set to hurt me despite our sacred bond. Swaying helplessly on Maddox’s shoulder, I cried over my wishful thinking that he must have missed me, my absence could change his decision about abortion. But no! Despite my near-death experience on that rainy night, King Maddox didn’t even bother to ask how I had survived and took me to the hospital for his own purpose. Although I protested on the way, the entrance of that slaughterhouse tightened my throat. With my heart thundering in my chest, I grabbed King’s hand as he was now dragging me to the examination room. “Please, Your Majesty! Don’t hurt my baby. I beg you!” As he turned d
Shyla’s P.O.V. “My child!” With no knowledge of time and place, I was jolted awake by the worry of my son. A loud shriek rolled out of my tongue as my gaze fell at a hospital room, its white walls and ceiling sucked life from my body. No! Not my child! My high-pitched screams garnered the doctor’s attention. A hurried figure flashed by my side and hugged me without any heads up. “Relax, Shyl. You are safe.” But I squirmed against the hold, crying my heart out. “No! You can’t hurt my baby, Maddox. I’ll never forgive you!” That kind lady kept up with my panic attack, and comforted me by placing my hand on my belly. “Feel it, Shyl. Your baby is safe. Everything is fine!” I rubbed my hand over my swollen belly and moved my body to confirm my suspicion. The absence of any discomfort of potential surgery washed a wave of relief over me. That was when I noticed the familiar soft tone of my caretaker, she said, “Alpha has saved you on time. Relax!” Aunt Hailey
Maddox’s P.O.V.“You distracted me to kidnap my Erasthai?”Hayden’s broken bones didn’t lessen the injury of being tricked by a mere vampire, he had challenged my authority in my own land. That ruffian was an old acquaintance, responsible for stirring trouble during my reign. I had caught him unexpectedly after decades of searching.And tonight, he lived up to his reputation, snatching my omega from me.That shameless vampire snickered, pointing towards the door.“You are the same brainless animal as before, Maddox. It’s true that maturity has nothing to do with age.”I followed the trail of his finger and noticed a sharp scent of a werewolf, which was oblivious to me due to the raging fire burning inside me. My head blew away as the identity of its owner hit my head.“Alpha Raymond? How can he come here?Didn’t he lose his mind after his Luna’s murder?”I simply disregarded Hayden’s rudeness; he was laughing at me despite his wounds.“You have the guts to call yourself a Ki
Shyla’s P.O.V. “A magical envelope to save my child?” Where were we? Planet London? Warrior, nope Beta Allen’s courage was indeed admirable, but it was highly suspicious that it would work in my favor. Anyway, my gaze remained fixed at King Maddox’s face as he tore the seal and read the papers, the change in his stern expressions made my heart jump to my throat. He threw those papers on Alpha Raymond’s face and grabbed his collar. “Your Alpha King means nothing to me. He has signed the peace treaty after begging me for days.” His Royal tone forced every wolf in the room to bow before him, they all knelt, bearing their necks in submission. The fear was visible in Raymond’s green eyes, but still, he used his Alpha authority to counter kingly command. “Our Alpha King did what was best for us at that time. But his signature on the merger doesn’t mean that he has no say in the important decisions. He’s still our King, his words are laws for us. So, this decree with the signe
Shyla’s P.O.V.“Help me!”My hysterical plea for help got the instant response as Raymond broke the door and came in, he was huffing in anger.“We agreed that you will stay away from Shyl. What are you doing here, King Maddox?”Beta Allen jumped inside through the window and supported me to the bed, he spoke immediately.“You shouldn’t have allowed him to stay here, Alpha. We can’t trust this man!”King Maddox stared at me for half a day, unfazed by the shouting, his golden orbs were filled with nameless expressions. He snarled at Allen viciously before leaving, he took two steps back in fear. “It was a mistake, Alpha.”They argued for a length of time about Maddox’s stay in the pack, the meaning of deciding my matter in the court finally dawned on me.“King Maddox has called Alpha King in the Blood Moon Pack for the final decision.”His presence around me clenched my heart, it was like a sword hanging over my head, ready to kill me any time. So, I stayed on guard with a fl
Shyla’s P.O.V. Ten days later... “Kitten, why didn’t you include me in your plan?” It’s been ten days and Maddox has asked me this question one hundred times, testing my patience. I had repeatedly explained to him the dangers of playing with the devil, but still, I replied to him calmly. “Because it was necessary to catch Prince off guard.” Nuzzling his furry neck, I inhaled deeply, his divine scent soothed my nerves. “Our enemy was so cunning, Maddox. He could sense your relaxation through the bond. I had to be cautious.” “We didn’t mean to worry you, mate.” Just like an obedient mate, Ash added to my statement, “As you have served the nation for centuries alone, this was our gift for you. We wanted to solve the issues and surprise you, mate.” Along with my mate, my Goddess blessed me with my wolf as well, her grace had filled my life with rainbows and unicorns of love. Although there was a ten-day mourning period for the martyrs of war, Maddox couldn’t sit still. He
Shyla’s P.O.V.“The fear of death follows the flow of life. If life is surely going to hell for your loved ones, it’s better to take solace in the arms of death.”Call it my selfishness or the desire to avoid more troubles, I didn’t listen to my mate’s advice and made a decision for both of us, hoping that he would understand my perspective over time. After witnessing the bizarre power of the promise mate, it was obvious that Prince Edith held more power on both of us, interfering in our emotions and minds. His firm control on our bond bothered me. Like we could never have intimacy, never mind-link each other, and never share a moment in peace, he was able to literally waltz in our lives whenever he wanted.If there was a fated bond, where three mates were willing to live together, then there wasn’t any issue, rejecting one of them could end in separation. But the promise mates bond was for living and dying together. So, I opted for death, putting him into a magical slumber was
Shyla’s P.O.V.“Oh, really, Prince Edith?Try me!”It was almost evening and my self-proclaimed promise mate couldn’t understand the meaning of delay in the seemingly simple battle.I glanced at his all smiles face, adorned with the matchless overconfidence, and thought inwardly.“You are really a dumb wolf, Edith.”Underestimating your opponent’s power was a big mistake, and I wanted to applaud for such an insufferable know-it-all Alpha to ignore this simple rule. He rubbed his success on my face before the end, announcing his victory without confirmation. Hayden nodded to give me the signal to continue, it was the time to burst the bubble of that idiot’s happiness. “May I have your attention please, Alpha Edith?”The firmness of my tone finally put a full stop to his laughter, he looked like a joker while laughing in the presence of dead-serious people. As it was the time for him to cry, he spoke generously. “Yeah, carry on, Shyla. I would love to hear your apology.”
Maddox’s P.O.V.Bastard Prince walked towards the stairs of the throne, trying to prove God knew which point. Kitten observed his next move and ordered guards in her Alpha tone.“Stop him!”The guards’ bodies shook as they started acting like puppets, forming a human shield before the stairs in a jiffy. It was the standard response to an Alpha’s command on his pack mates, but watching my Kitten using this authority swelled up my heart with pride. After suffering too much in her life, she was finally able to experience the authority of the masters she served. I always felt awful for her slave’s status. That was why I investigated at length about her mom.It kept me awake all night long, thinking that my rules and wars had destroyed the golden years of my Erasthai’s life. And if it was really the truth, how could I ever be able to forgive myself?Thankfully, heaven saved me from this guilt, lifting heavy weight from my chest. I looked at her in awe as she faced the Bastard Prin
Maddox’s P.O.V.“The saddest thing about the heartache is that it never comes from your enemies. It comes from those you trust more than yourself.”The silver blade shining midair wasn’t the lethal weapon right now, I had seen and endured the blows of several ones. But there wasn’t a chance that I would survive a single stab of it.The true sharpness of this blade was the lack of emotions in my Kitten’s eyes, she glanced at me with such indifference that my lycan already accepted our fate. “Don’t fight back, Maddox. At least, our Kitten is holding this sword. It could be worse than that.” Yeah!It was fortunate that our Kitten was holding justice for her dad; otherwise, dying by the Bastard Prince’s hands would be worse than death. Agree or not, even poison tasted sweet if your loved one served you. And it was my love, my Erasthai, who was going to cut the thread of my life. This was more than enough for a dying man like me. Heaven was still favoring me to let me leave regre
Maddox’s P.O.V. “Kitten is innocent!” Bastard Prince’s eye-opening confession clarified it that it was his vile plan all along. He meticulously took advantage of our emotions and reactions to certain scenarios. The volcano of anger rumbled in my chest, burning me inside out with fiery lava as he spoke gleefully. “As usual, Shyla is busy freeing slaves in the breeder camp. But soon, she will be here and kill you with her own hands, Alpha Maddox. I would love to see your pitiful death. It’s said that: A wound from your soulmate hurts a thousand times more than …” A sliver of dread touched my spine as the mere notion of approaching death dried my throat. I was hell scared of the calamity which was about to strike us. Bastard Prince had skillfully knitted a web of cheat and deceit, disrespecting the blood relationships as well as the bonds of souls. I couldn’t help but growl at him. “How dare you call yourself a King, bastard? You took a piggyback ride on my Erasthai’s back
Maddox’s P.O.V.Unknown supernatural creatures!Trust me, when I used this term, it wasn’t an exaggeration. I was merely stating the condition of the battleground in front of my eyes.After winning countless wars over the course of three centuries, I was well-versed in the variety of the shifters roaming on the Earth. Even interbreed, and unusual couples couldn’t escape my eyes.A lycan could run as fast as a hundred miles per hour, and for a werewolf, it was limited to seventy miles per hour. However, the agility I noticed in new warriors was out of this world. They were faster than lycans, precisely predicting their moves, and successfully countering them. They were literally unstoppable. Their claws were like iron, unbreakable, even I had to hit twice just to cut off a wolf’s head. Although I admired the sight of exceptional soldiers, it wasn’t in my favor. The destruction they caused had turned my victory into defeat.Unable to stop them on my own, I mind-linked Beta Jame
Maddox’s P.O.V.“There’s no message from Mrs. Lockwood.”What?It’s been a week since Alpha Harrison’s death, and I didn’t get any update from Lockwood nanny, although it was a part of her duties to send me a complete report through email. At first, Moira kept me updated as Beta James stayed at the Palace to ensure their safety. Public events like funerals were the favorite timing of enemies to strike because of emotional vulnerability, I couldn’t risk Marcel’s and Kitten’s security at all.Honestly speaking, I was missing that little wolf, he had become a part of my life just because of his cuteness. I simply wanted them to come back home, this unnecessary separation was getting on my nerves. Alpha Harrison’s sudden demise had stirred trouble in different parts of the Kingdom, werewolves, and even vampires were worried about the change in alliances.The disturbance, concealed meetings, and exchange of information among spies indicated that my Kingdom was on the verge of a wa
Shyla’s P.O.V“In the loving memory of Alpha Harrison. A kind ruler, a loyal husband, and an affectionate father …”My teary eyes were fixed on my dad’s grave as my world was under the tornado of intense emotions, I was unable to discipline my uncontrollable rage anymore. The fire of revenge ignited my blood, I swore on my life. “I, Alpha Shyla Harrison, will kill your murderer with my own hands, dad. You will be proud of me in heaven!”Rubbing my eyes mercilessly, I severed the connection with Maddox, blocking him for good. It wouldn’t be long when his neck would be clutched in my claws. Hearing my resolution, Edith sighed in relief, he placed his hand on my shoulder and said,“Thank Goddess, you believe me, Shyla!”His touch didn’t nauseate me like before as he didn’t lift his hand and moved closer, praising me.“It’s true that a Fenrir Alpha can’t be deceived by trickery. You saw through King Maddox’s lies, recognizing his true face at the right time. It’s still not
