King Gideon’s POVAfter my encounter with Soma, I decided to sit back down with Nathaniel. Yeah, he couldn’t communicate with his voice, but the mind-link was there and I knew he was going to give me an ear full about his daughter. Honestly, he was lucky I didn’t kill him, I needed his assistance when it comes to his daughter. I needed to know the spell his dead wife cast so we could break it and bring her Lycan out. We had a war coming, and it was going to be tough.“You get out of line again Nathaniel I will show your daughter just how much I don’t care about having you around,” I growled. “Sit down and let’s finish this plan.”“Fine,” Nathaniel said. “But you touch my daughter again, I will force my Lycan to drop the code and kill you.”“You can try and kill me but there is nothing your Lycan will do other than cower to me like you and him have all these years.” I mused. “But I am welcoming you to challenge me, we can even do it for the crown. Without training, I could probably kil
Soma’s POVI was getting annoyed being with King Gideon his constant advances were pissing me off. I knew he wanted me to be his mate, but I wasn't and I wasn't going to give in to him, no matter how much he whines and complains that my place is next to him. I was going to get out of this castle one way or another.Since the vampires haven't moved in, it was probably something King Gideon used to scare the people of the kingdom, mostly as a form of control. Pacing around my room I knew taking a chance going through the window was probably not a good idea, but running out the front door is even worse. I knew getting away from King Gideon was going to be impossible, but I needed to try.He was getting restless and I knew he was going to force himself on me and mark me, I still wasn't sure what that meant, and if Oliver would still be my mate. I wasn't taking that chance and there was no way in hell he was going to stick his dick anywhere near me either.I was glad he was leaving, I coul
Oliver’s POVGetting together with some of the Alphas that have been here for the beginning, we needed to gather on my pack lands and had to make plans. We needed to move fast, word got around to the Council about the vampires moving in on the Lycans, and everyone was notified. I was hoping things would be good and Soma would be saved before King Gideon forced her into his kingdom. I knew we had to get rid of him, but killing a Lycan King would be cause for war and I knew we were outnumbered when it came to the Lycans. We stayed away from them and they stayed away from us, we hadn’t had a war in centuries and I wasn't going to be known as the Alpha that ended us.I still wanted to find out why the Council wouldn't let Soma make her own choices, I had a feeling King Gideon had something to do with it, I was going to torture him for his boldness, I knew enough about the man that he was bad, and he needed to be put down. I wasn't sure who Nathaniel was, I was a little nervous to meet him
Oliver’s POVWalking down the stairs, I could feel the shift in the air. Something was off, I wasn't sure if it was because I was calm, but I didn’t like it.“Alpha Oliver Stone at least we meet again.” a dark voice growled.I turned to face the voice, it was none other than Alpha Drake, I hated him. He was the reason I never wanted a mate, everyone I thought was my mate would mark and destroy any connection to her, and I still wanted to see him dead. I wanted to be the one to wrap my claws around his neck and tear his head off.“You!” I growled my claws were coming out, and Micah put his hand on my shoulder as a distraction but it wasn't working the way he wanted. “I told you if you stepped on my pack lands again I would kill you.” I snapped.He laughed, “And I told you, when you want to challenge for pack lands I would be open, but it would be to the death.” he smirked. “I didn’t come to start anything, when your brother Micah sent word about the Lycans being in our world and taking
Oliver’s POVWalking down the hallway to the meeting room, I have expected there not to be anyone in there because of my yelling but was surprised that there were about ten Alpha’s sitting around talking among themselves.Micah cleared his throat, and we walked to the head of the table, everyone stopped talking and waited for me to speak. I wasn't even sure how to start this, but I didn’t have a choice now.“Thank you for coming.” I began. “I know a lot of questions about why I’ve called you, please allow me to explain what is going on and what we need to do to ensure we don’t end up going to war with every supernatural being,” I said looking around, everyone seemed calm and happy to be there which was good.“We mostly know why we are here, but why should we help? We’re putting our packs on the line to go against the Council,” one spoke up.“Well, Alpha Zane I know you think you are not doing your part in containing a threat that is happening,” I spoke. “But the Lycan King has kidnapp
King Gideon’s POVWalking back to my office I knew leaving her in the care of Roman was the best idea as he is loyal to me and what I want. I just hoped she didn’t escape with him being in charge. I told him all about my plans to mark her when I get back and he seemed to think that was a good idea. I grabbed the things I needed to take with me to the Council, I needed them to ensure the werewolves were going to try and get her back. I was afraid they would change their mind if they spoke with her, that is why I was leaving her behind.“Before I leave I want to see you.” I mind-link Nathaniel, he was the one I was worried about. I didn’t want him to try and do anything, I knew he would but I hoped he wouldn't. I would hate to come back and he was dead because he didn’t listen to my warning.“You wanted to see me?” he growled annoyed.“Yeah, I want to make sure you understand that you are not allowed to go to your daughter anytime while I am gone, if you try and help her escape I’ve alr
Vampire King’s POVWatching King Gideon leaving the castle, I could easily go in and take the girl and then finish off his Kingdom while he leaves.“So what are your plans?” Detective Marks asked.“We wait, I have someone at the airport, it looks like he is leaving for a flight,” I said looking at him. “I am debating if I want to take the castle, or take him and force him into the castle and for his people to watch me kill him.” I mused. “I might just do both at the same time, send you to go and get him and I go and get the girl and burn his Kingdom down.”“But it’s not his Kingdom.”“Does it matter?” I snapped. “I am going to take out the Lycan’s all they have been are burdens are always begging for my help, now I want to show them who I am and I want to see the fear in their eyes when I take each one of their souls.” I smiled.“So what do you want me to do?” he asked.He was beginning to get annoying, I don’t know why I allowed him into my clan. He was always complaining, but at lea
Soma’s POVSearching around the bed and then under the dagger was gone. I wasn't sure what happened, but I tossed the blankets around to see if maybe they slipped down when I sat down on the bed acting like I was getting ready for bed.“Looking for this?” Roman’s voice was loud, it startled me almost out of my skin.I quickly turned to face him, he held the dagger that was under my bed. I took a deep breath and stood up, I wasn't sure what he was up to or how he found it.“So I am assuming you have someone in this castle that wants me dead?” he said half smiling. “The only thing is if she didn’t tell you were to stab me, I wouldn't be dead.”“I uh I don’t want you dead,” I said shaking my head, my heart was racing. I wasn't sure what he was going to do to me now that he knew someone gave the dagger to me. I was afraid he was going to hurt the girl that was just trying to get me away from him.“So what were you planning to do with this then?” he said waving the dagger around as two oth
