LUCIEN'S POVWe will have to run from here, I think we have gotten enough rest." I spoke to the wolves that were with me. They slowly rose to their feet and came closer.“You see that," I pointed at the mountaintop in the distance.“That is where we are going so get ready to run. I will not look back on any of you. You will have to keep up with me, do you understand? “ I looked at them one more time and they nodded their heads, agreeing to it.I shifted and moved forward and they were right behind me, running as fast as they could. Through the forest, I passed some shortcut pathways and over shallow streams so we could get there in time.I still arrived before them and waited a while before they surfaced one by one and shifted to humans, standing close to me. I went to the sandy part of where we were standing and drew a map on the floor.“The last time I came here the king had one giant gate along the west and a giant wall around the city and then I can say that they are barely fortif
LUCIEN’S POV The voice raged in the dark, I quickly jumped up and I didn't try to retaliate because I saw thousands of eyes in the dark. This is the hidden soldiers I'm here for.“I'm not here to fight you,I am here to liberate you from the enemy, Malcolm and ask your help to defeat him" I shouted calmly at them.“You can't defeat that beast, Malcolm, it's a lie, you want to have your pack burnt to the ground? You dare not." They all laughed.“Malcolm is not in the city. He is at war with my kingdom and if you join me, we will defeat and kill him and all of you will be free,” I explained and their laughter died out as they began to reason what I just said.“And if we follow you, what guarantee do we have that we will not be enslaved by you as Malcolm has wanted to do to us? The deep voice I had initially spoken again."Before the moon goddess, I made an oath to do exactly what I have said. If I do the contrary, let the goddess do with me as she pleases.”They were stirred immediately
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 They disengaged and then I led the way, we walked together into our room. Where Lucien lay.His eyes were half closed but he could recognize us all. He stretched out his hand to Liam. Liam took it.“What is happening? It's been a long time since the family was completely like this. It's been a while since I saw Liam.”He breathed. "We are going to try something. We hope and pray it works.”“What?” "Just watch and see. Be calm.”I stepped aside, Liam let go of his hand and we moved away from him. Lucas closed his eyes and held his father's hand.His essence began to glow in his heart and split in half. We watched with groped hearts and pensive spirits as Lucas shared his essence with Lucien. Immediately it was complete, Lucas slumped on the ground, his skin paled out a little, and his hair turned grey.I ran to him, touching him to see if he was still warm. He was and I breathed in great relief.Liam touched me.“Attend to father. I can handle him.” I nodded and stood u
EMILY'S POV There I'd nothing to say you need not disturb yourself self my Luna”He looked a little my way and then continued driving.“You saw me. At the trance you had in the cave, didn't you? And you didn't fail “ He looked at me and immediately our eyes crossed he couldn't lie anymore.“I didn't, I instantly knew it was not you. But I was carried away for a moment and I almost failed.”"Oh, I see. It's very understandable. He played with our minds to know the secrets we harbor that will lead us to evil if given the chance” “I thought so too. It was a very funny plan though and it works well if you do not know who you are with very well.” Dion Wright said."When we get back, you are granted a two-year leave. Go marry and have a what young man do. That will automatically fix this problem”" Thank you my Luna. I hope that I can find a woman like you” he said lightly.Our conversation ended we did not speak again even when he wheeled the car into the palace. I stepped out and looke
EMILY'S POV The old she-wolf looked back at me. She smiled as she saw the relief on my face. “You have come a long way."I nodded my head laughing.“Well, it all ends here. Remember this before you meet the creature you must not harbor any secret in your heart.”She looked at the bag of weapons Dion was carrying.“You should know that you are not supposed to take that in with you.”Dion smiled and spoke for the first time in hours.“We can't take chances. If there is no need to use it then we will not use it.”“If you say so. Be careful though. I will wait here.”I looked at her. “You are not coming in with us?”“Yes. I will hand you my staff so that it will serve as a symbol to the creature that I brought you but I cannot go in with you. You will have to answer for yourself by yourself.”I huffed ‘This is just great ‘“My Luna let's get going. The earlier the better.” Dion whispered into my ear“Of course” I took the staff from the lady and we began to make our way into the mounta
EMILY'S POVHeartbroken I pulled out of Dion's arm and yelled out into the forest.“How dare you ask me to come here without having the solution to my problem. I believed you existed like you have said and I followed the map. I came here. How can you tell me what isn't true? Does it amuse you to play with the heart of the wounded? Guess you deserve all that has happened to you and your people then ”My tears wet my clothes and My head ached because of anger. Amid my yelling, I heard a chuckle of an old voice.“So you came? I am impressed, Luna. I have never seen someone as desperate as you are. You must love this husband of yours so much."I looked toward the voice, and Dion looked too. An old Woman emerged from the burnt forest. “I am the One who sent you the letter. Honestly, I simply replicated the letter indeed to those I told that I had the cure to the problem. No one had ever honored my invite before and then the city was still in full bloom. I certainly did not expect that t
SOME MONTHS AFTER.EMILY'S POV I carried the baby down and Lucas took him from my hand. He cuddled the little pup and he giggled loudly.“At this rate, we will all be heard," someone spoke behind me, it was Liam, dressed in the robe of his father.Lucas stuck his tongue out at him, “Stop whining about your brother mini-Alpha Liam.”Liam glared at him. And Lucas laughed his ass off as usual." Asshole come along you know we have a patrol this evening and I cannot do it alone.” Liam beckoned on his brother. Lucas excused himself to keep the child inside.Liam looked at me. Who was silently watching them?“Are you going out again?" He asked his voice sober."Yes apparently... I have news that a man in one of the kingdoms in the east has some information that might help me.”He heaved. “Another assumption.”I gave him an accusing look."Mother please get me right, am trying to say I want my father to be healed too, it's just that… it's been roughly a year and a half since he got t
EMILY'S POV" Am what… " I let go of him. And pulled myself up On the bed.“Am with what( am pregnant? How?… I mean how come? I.. I didn't see any sign, there was no sign at all.” Shock is written all over me.Lucien kissed my cheek. “My warrior wife was too busy to notice."Seriously I could not comprehend how I was with child the whole time. And still did not know despite all the stress I went through. So many thoughts were going through my head at the same time. Lucien's came to my rescue.“Stop thinking. You just woke up, nothing is going to make sense for now but by tomorrow morning, you will be more fine. Okay? “I breathed, my nerves still not calm maybe it was because I was very confused or maybe it was because I was sitting in between Lucien's legs and he was staring at me with his cold ecstatic eyes filled with passion.“I missed you so much.” He muttered and my heart fluttered. He kissed me, going deeper. I missed him more and I got carried away, pressing him on the bed for
EMILY'S POV . “Lucien” his name escaped from my mouth the moment I realized he was the one behind me. He smiled heartily. Holding me firmly so I would not fall. “When did you get here? How come you are here?".I asked weakly. 'Let's finish things first we will talk about this later.” He said to me. His voice reassuring. I decided to follow his decision. We both went to find the boys.The forbidden rooms were extra large., We could not get through all of it by ourselves, soldiers were disbursed to search all areas. I tried connecting to them through the mind link but they were not linking back with me.Lucien's tried to sniff them out but nothing was working. I began to doubt that they were in that room at all. The thought left my heart beating fast on my chest. I tried to calm myself but the feeling persisted. Not wavering at all.Lucien noticed my distress, and he connected to me through a mind link and spoke.“Emily the boys will be fine. They are stronger than anything we know of
(SIDE STORY)AUTHOR'S POV The trio bought tickets and went inside. They sat in front. Kalife sitting between them. The movie began and ran for four hours. The three slept through the entire film.When the movie was over they picked up their tired selves and left the Cinema.“Did You get to watch some part of the movie?” Lucas asked Kalife who was stretching herself outside."Nope. The movie was boring as hell."Lucas chuckled nervously. This plan was a waste. What else can he do now?“Whose hungry? I know a place."“Well I think we should head back," she answered.“Come on, Kalife don't you want to explore the city? Let's take a small road trip and then stop to eat at the restaurant owned by a beta called Max Meyers” Lucas nudged her shoulder a little. “Well, I do like a good adventure ” she smiled a little."Alright, let's go" Lucas slipped his hand into Kalife's finger, interlocking them. He pulled her forward. They were running through the streets the next moment. Liam tightened
(SIDE STORY)LIAM'S POV I looked away. Kalife was the traveling type but I honestly did not know she had never been to the cinema. If I did, I would have taken her there one of these days now. Lucas was now the one asking her to go with him.‘Well, it's good, it's not a big deal.’ I tried convincing myself, although I had mixed feelings about the whole thing. As much as I tried to distract myself with the trainers and the games that they were preparing for, I could not help but keep thinking about the idea of Lucas and Kalife going to the cinema together, so I wasn't paying attention to what they were saying again.I remember Kalife turned down Lucas’ request because he told her I wouldn't need to be there.Before they left I took a side glance at them. My eyes spotted their hands interlocking and Lucas pulling her away.I looked sharply at them but they were already running out of the training ground before I could do anything.'Liam calm down. He just wanted to drag her out, it's
