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
Vampire King POVI hated flying to the United States, but it was something to do and I needed to check on how Marks was keeping the city with his clan. He was a pathetic excuse for a vampire but at least I could trust him to contain threats if there were any but I still didn’t trust him fully and I wanted to ensure he wasn't making a scene when it comes to the vampire. I sent a couple of my vampires to check on him before this and they claimed he was doing okay a little slow on acting but that didn’t matter.“What’s on your mind?” Marks asked.“Nothing, I just don’t want to be in the United States long, I need to ensure we make this happen quick. I want to take King Gideon and show him just how pathetic of a leader is.” I said without looking at him. “But you better not mess this up otherwise you die.”“Yeah, yeah I know don’t worry we’ll get him where we want him. I want to torture him a little more too because he owes me. With everything that he has done in the United States he dese
Lycan King’s POVMost of the Council went down without much of a fight. I thought they were something special, but apparently, I was mistaken, it was nice to smell the blood of the dead. It had been so long since I did anything like this, so I was kind of excited. I knew Alec was the last to die, he was the one that pissed me off the most.“Bring the worm here!” I ordered.Two of my men grabbed a hold of Alec and forced him to his knees. “What do you want now Vampire King you’ve won,” he growled at me, I almost ripped his throat out, but I wanted Oliver here and King Gideon here to witness what I’ve done.“I am patiently waiting for the rest of the party to get here.” I mused. “But if you want to speed up your death you will have to do better than that.”“Oh so you want King Gideon and Oliver Stone to witness your fake power.” he scoffed. “I guess it suits you, I was beginning to wonder when you would do this. Seeing you killed your master, Marcus.”He was testing me, I wasn't sure ho
King Gideon’s POVFinally landing in this hell hole, I wanted this done and over with. I couldn’t wait to be back with the Princess, I would make love to her all night and show her that she belongs with a Lycan. I knew she couldn’t resist when it came down to it, and if we could get her Lycan out I am sure my Lycan could convince her. I was getting hard just thinking about her naked and in love with me.“King Gideon?” an unfamiliar voice said pulling me out of my dream.“Yeah, that’s me.” I snapped at the girl, she was ugly and fat and probably smelled. She was human at least so this wasn't something I cared too much about.“I was told to pick you up by the car company you had requested.” she half-smiled. “My car is just outside, do you have any bags?”“No,” I said shaking my head. “I am only going to be here a night and then I am back to London,” I said following her out of the airport. “What’s your name?”“Rachel sweetheart.” she smiled as she pulled away from the curb. “So do you k
King Gideon’s POVShaking off the feeling I had, I walked to the door and pulled it open. The hallway was quiet which was kind of weird seeing the Council usually has staff here when they were here. This was a normal thing having meetings at night but something about tonight was off.My Lycan was on high guard, he could feel something wasn't right about tonight. He was telling me I should run and leave this place that this was a trap. But I couldn’t leave the Council hanging because then it would make me look weak. I knew I had to keep going even though my better judgment was telling me now.Walking down the long hallway, I started to smell something weird, it almost smelled like blood but it was mixed with something else. I wasn't sure, but I slowly made my way to the Council room. Closing my eyes I knew what I wanted to say to them, it would be a quick meeting and then I would let my Lycan run for the night and get to the hotel and then head home once everything was taken care of.I
Soma’s POVFollowing Oliver to his office, I was a little nervous to speak to my father. Since I hadn’t heard his voice, it was going to be weird, but I knew we needed to speak. I was excited to invite him over to New York so he could see me become Luna. I wasn’t sure if he would have some kind of expectation about me being a Princess and if I would become Queen in the future. I was hoping I wouldn’t have to be but if it came down to it I would.“Hey, Nathaniel,” Oliver said into the phone. “I apologize for not calling sooner, with everything happening quickly I kind of lost track of time.” He said looking at her. “Soma would like to talk to you, she wants to tell you something important.” He said before handing the phone to me.“Hey, dad.”“It’s good to hear your voice, how are you feeling?” he asked.“I am better still a little weak, and I haven’t heard my wolf so I don’t know why she has still locked away,” I said with a sad tone.“Well, she will come when the time is right.” He as
Oliver’s POVWatching Soma take her store apart was painful for me too, I could see that she didn’t want to do this but she was forcing herself to do it. I wanted to stop her and tell her we should come back another day when she was ready, but I knew she was stubborn and wouldn’t let me pull her away from something she was already doing. The only thing I could do is support her and do what she needed me to do.Her spirits picked up when I told her I wanted to sell her tea at my shop. I knew it would give her something to do when she wanted to come back to the human world. I was glad Micah made friends with the owner because he did give us a break because of what happened to Soma. I knew things would be better for Soma once this was done.“I am going to start taking boxes over, I’ve called Micah to come and stay here and help with the rest of the stuff,” I spoke.“Okay, this is almost it.” She said putting the rest of the shelve she was working on in a box. “Can you see if there are an
Soma’s POVWatching Oliver freak out until I was done with my coffee and cookies was entertaining but now, I was faced with my store and my decision. I sighed getting Oliver’s attention, I knew he was going to ask me the same questions he did last night and I just had to be firm with my answers. As much as I didn’t want to give up my dream, it was the only way I knew how to let go of my past and the hurt that I faced.My adopted parents abandoned me because of this store, and that hurt almost as much as what Detective Marks had done to me. I knew they were different pains but they still hurt no matter what.“I think I am ready to go over there,” I said looking across the street.“Alright.” He said getting up. “Micah we’re going across the street, if you need something mind link me.”“Yeah, yeah.” He said waving his hand at us. He was still grossed out by the gum thing and probably annoyed because he was picking it by hand and it was fun watching his face. But we needed to get things d
Soma’s POVOpening my eyes to Oliver coming back into the room, I yawned and stretched and smiled when he sat down.“Where did you go?” I asked.“I had to talk to Micah about our plans for today.” He smiled. “You should go back to sleep; you’ve only been sleeping for a few hours.”“I know, but I want to get this over and done with and then we could come back here and I could relax a little by the lake.”“Sun bathing is always nice, just don’t do it naked.” He warned playfully.“I don’t do that!” I snapped at him; I knew he would love to watch me lay out naked but I was still shy about my body.Going to the tea store was going to be depressing, my whole dream was out the window and there wasn’t anything I could do about it. I didn’t want to shut down, but I knew it was for the best. I didn’t want Oliver stressing about me being over here alone, and honestly, I didn’t know if I could handle all the stress that came with running the store again. I knew Nick would want to come and help if
Oliver’s POVFinding out Soma woke up, part of me didn’t want to believe it because when I left her a little while ago, she didn’t seem like she wanted to wake up. I ran as fast as I could up the stairs, she was standing there with the two warriors I assigned to guard my door. My heart went into my throat, was I seeing a ghost? Was she really there? Am I going crazy? All those questions went through my head, but as soon as I touched her everything made sense, and she was awake! Remembering when she first woke up was a fresh reminder that the Moon Goddess was good and she was looking out for us, she loved me and I shouldn’t have doubted it.Watching her eat was funny, it’s like she forgot how to eat or she was overly hungry and wanting to eat as much as she could before someone took her plate away. I knew she was battling the demons inside her and there was nothing I couldn’t do about it. I was a little sad that she wanted to close her store, but I knew it was for the best. She needed
Soma’s POVI walked around the house and the yard, and I explored the shop. Oliver watched me curiously, I think he was hoping I would say something but I didn’t know what to say. He has done so much for me, I don’t even know where to begin.Finally turning to face him. “I think I want to close the tea shop, I don’t think it’s for me anymore.” I frowned. “I mean I loved my dream, but I feel like we have something bigger planned for us, and I am ready to take that step.”“Are you sure that is something you want to do?” he asked coming closer to me. “We can keep the store open, I can even send some help for you so you are not alone.”“No,” I said shaking my head. “If I don’t close the store I will regret it, and I want to be closer to home I know you want me here too.”“Well yeah of course I do, but I don’t want you to feel like you are a prisoner here because you don’t feel like you’ll be safe. We’re always going to make sure no one can hurt you, and this time I am not going to be hesi
Soma’s POVOliver and I chatted until dinner was done. I wasn't sure if I had to move, and I didn’t. Oliver made everyone move things around to be around me. I loved how he wanted me to be in charge of things, but I wasn't ready to be that person.“Did Nick ever go back to London?”“Present!” Nick exclaimed. “I heard that you finally woke up sleeping beauty,” he said kissing me on my head. “You have missed a lot maybe after dinner Oliver will allow me some time with you so we can catch up.”“Maybe not.” Oliver snapped. “She needs her rest, and so do I, she is coming with me after dinner. Tomorrow the two of you can talk and have your fun if she is strong enough,” he said looking at me. “As long as you’re okay with that.”“Of course I am.” I smiled.“So tomorrow.” Nick smiled. I knew he was hiding something, I hope it was something good. I didn’t want any bad news. Since I woke up today I have felt this calming feeling. It might be because the Moon Goddess said she would be around to e
Soma’s POVOpening my eyes, the Moon Goddess was right. I was able to see, and I wasn’t in the castle anymore. I felt better knowing Oliver managed to bring me to his packhouse. I didn’t know this room as I’d never seen it before but it smelled like Oliver did when I was around him. I wanted to go and find him, but the Moon Goddess told me to take it slow since I was in a coma for a while. My body did feel weak, but I knew that was just a small thing compared to what I would be feeling when I saw his eyes for the first time. I couldn’t wait to kiss him and feel his warmth all around me.I moved my legs to the side of the bed and slowly stood up, I felt sick to my stomach but I didn’t want to sit back down. I knew I needed to move around so I could get my energy back. I wasn't sure where Oliver would be, I hoped he would be close enough that someone would let him know I was awake. I hoped he wasn't overly stressed about me being unconscious, but I knew he loved me. I shouldn’t have dou
Soma’s POV“What are you thinking about Soma?” Seff asked, I found feel her wet nose on my leg.“I don’t know,” I admitted. I didn’t know what to think or what to feel. Why were we stuck in this place? Was it because they had to force Seff back because of how crazy she was, or was it because I needed the protection and this was the only way anyone knew how. “I am trying to figure out a way to get out of here. I felt that power again, it was for a while and then it got cold. I think it might be Oliver.”“It might be, I mean he is worried about you. I kind of could feel his wolf it’s very faint but I can feel something.” She said to sound more positive. “I don’t think we’re going to be here much longer, I feel the light coming for us. Maybe it’s the Moon Goddess coming to see us before she allows us to leave.”“She comes and sees people?” I asked.“Yeah, of course, especially those that are lost and scared. You see she wanted me to come to you when you were a baby because she knew the k
