EMILY'S POV The horse neighed as he settled in front of me. I looked at him, keeping my eyes on him. He hopped down the horse and then looked my Way. I was still on my horse.“We are all wolves are we not? We should not be mounting these lesser creatures when war is upon us, don't you think so.” His voice echoed through the battlefield and noticing what he was trying to make me look like I also got down on my horse."You are quite wise I can see.” He said to me after watching me get down." You must be the famous Omega Luna of Lucien's kingdom _ Emily.” " And you must be the halfwit who dares to oppose the one that gave you life_ Xin or is it Malcolm you are called now,” I replied to him, my voice laced with disdain.He frowned and I knew immediately that he was upset. That was the goal."For a beautiful woman, you sure know how to make one feel all kinds of things. No worries, I will discipline you in due time." His voice sounded like a king scolding his concubine.I had been told
EMILY'S POV“Emily my dear. Why are you running?” My eyes went to the left, following the voice. The wolves moved aside for Malcolm to come forward."You stink of cheating, and I needed some fresh air," I held up my chin in pride so I could not look like I was afraid. "Are you sure it's not fear?" He came closer, stepping down from the beast that was carrying him.“Emily! Emily my dear, this is war, It doesn't matter who plays fair or not, history will only ask who won. and I'm sure that won't be you or your so-called Alpha.” He chuckled, still coming closer."The more fair your battle is, the more you show the moon goddess that your fight is of good conscience and you will be blessed with victory.” I retorted, actually trying to buy myself time.He started laughing.“Do you believe that? Well, the moon goddess sure is helping you all right now, I can see you’re winning right now." He erupted into more laughter sarcastically."Oh Emily, you are quite the joker, I will admit that. I ha
EMILY'S POV A hand tapped my shoulder and I turned, stopping my pacing about for a moment. It was the stealth team chief and he was looking concerned. “My Luna, I know you are worried but you need to stop pacing about and you need to show a little or less concern about this wolf. He is a rogue, remember? He is supposed to be dead. And he is supposed to have had an affair with you. The concern you are showing will give off the wrong information. I know he saved your life and you are naturally grateful to him but… “ he looked behind him at the wolf general's discussing in whispers about what was happening. "Their opinion matters a lot too.” I frowned a little but it didn't show on my face. From the palace to the battlefield, these old wolves are always trying to dictate the activities of the young. Well, at least in this case their actions were sensible because Tristan was still the enemy, no one knows if he is the good guy here.“I see thank you for the heads up. Are you hurt?".
LUCIEN'S POV The dark dungeon was blazing with lights when the meeting started, courtesy of my men who knew how to make fire and find Flintstones. Now I was seated alone by the left and the three main generals of that kingdom were in front of me.The first general stepped forward and spoke to everyone including me.“Most of you may not know him because he is not in his attire and glory today but this is the Alpha of the most feared pack in all our regions, Alpha Lucien.”There were murmurs in the audience."He came here looking for reinforcements to fight the war that is going on between him and the mad wolf that took over our land.Currently, the mad wolf is out there and he has taken all his men, he never guessed that the alpha would risk crossing the cold mountains just to be here and avoid being seen by his army.”I saw their faces filled with respect. Things are going smoothly it seems."He is asking for our help to fight this mad enemy. To strike him from behind and we the gene
LUCIEN'S POV“Malcolm!!!" I yelled his name“Lucien! You should have just died." He yelled back, turning to leave. I tried to pursue him but then I heard my name.“Lucien!!!!" I looked. Emily was being dragged away by three wolves.My blood boiled, that selfish asshole had given his soldier as a sacrifice for me to butcher so he could escape.I turned, I will get him another day. I rushed to Emily Immediately, grabbing and tearing off the wolves that held her, pulling her to me the instant they all fell off.She held me tightly, still so scared she shivered on me.“Emily it's ok, the fight is over. It's alright, just open your eyes, okay." She opened it a little and looked at me.“Oh, you're finally here, I missed you so much, what took you so long? I was… I thought I could not hold on anymore…” I held her tighter." Let's get you somewhere safe first. '' I said as I carried her out of the field to a safer place.I found a place secluded and left her under the care of Theo of the sold
LUCIEN’S POVThey chorused “We are.”“Alright, listen Malcolm has been around for a while but he has been in the shadows so none of the kingdoms bothered to find and fight him, not until he took up the desire of invasion a couple of months back. And because of this, I know Malcolm too well, I understand that as long as you're not close to him, you won't know what is on his mind, or his next line of action, and there's no way his plan can leak, so I sent a spy.” There was a brief pause, waiting for the first words to sink in before I continued.“I sent my beta. First I condemned him to a common criminal and made it look like he had many reasons to have my head and so Malcolm embraced him. Malcolm loves people who are filled with hate. He feeds this hatred in them, manipulating their hearts with what will make them hate the person in question forever and loyal to him, and make them think, he is out to give justice for them or fight their battle.”There were murmurs as I was explain
EMILY'S POV He turned his head to look at Lucien again and attempted another chuckle but ended up coughing instead.“Talk buddy!" Maiz kicked him not minding his frail and haggard look.I gulped, I was still getting used to all this ruthlessness.“Your Alpha is not the heir of the throne. He is a fraud. His father was born out of a union between the Luna and a Lycan. My entire family was killed because of these lies and here he lives enjoying luxury without trying even a little to compensate the true family by leaving the throne for them.”Maiz looked at Lucien who had no expression on his face.“Why else would he want me dead if not that he knows I speak the truth and he cannot let this truth go out to the public."“Then how does this concern me?" Maiz asked him coldly.“See I don't freaking care if you are a fucked up king, your family die or not, blah blah and blah. My wolves are dying because of the wounds they sustained during the battle with Malcolm and his men.That is my con
EMILY'S POV I climbed into his arms and he gave me a tight snuggle kissing my hair.“Oh my, since when did you get tired of my lips." I teased him but he was not smiling much, he only give me a faint grin.It was depressing to see him in such a way and pretend nothing was wrong. I wish all this could end already.“You are not worried I’ll be leaving tomorrow after just seeing you tonight? It's long we’ve been close together like this and I'll be leaving again tomorrow morning." He was breathing slowly asking with pensiveness in his voice.“I will be fine and cope very well but if you are not careful you can not cope with the way you put the whole burden on yourself in deep thinking. My concern is how’d that you stay safe in this journey and that you stop thinking too much, just enjoy this moment." My voice was low almost like a whisper.“I will try but I… may not be able to do anything. I am so tired.”"Me too. I don't want to do anything either. I just want to sleep in your arms."
