EMILY'S POV There was silence for a while, they seemed to be reasoning and it was not going in my favor. I guess they all found it hard to believe that I had anything that would stand a chance against the wolf chief. Oh, but I did. It's just that I could not show them what it was, what I had was supposed to be a surprise for them and a big problem for the enemy.Anyway, I'll let it be a surprise, for all we know there might be a spy for the enemy in our midst, so I need to be careful.“I still do not think this is a good idea. Honestly, you will get hurt my Luna. We cannot afford that, Alpha Lucien will murder all of us for allowing a hair to fall from your head.” “Alright." I fell back into the chair I was given. “You boys decide since Luna is not making sense.”I looked at them, waiting for them to say something. There was a pause for a while. And then the strongest soldier stood up when he did realize they had nothing planned and were still going against my plan.“One of the ge
EMILY'S POV I walked out of the hotel, and the wolves outside saluted me. I stopped at the last step and took in the sight of them all; three hundred soldiers. My stealth team is inclusive. They were dressed like ordinary civilians. “I guess we know what we are to do." I spoke and they chorused ‘Yes.’" Above all things we need to win this duel so we can take back our Kingdom from that treacherous old fool who was once the wolf chief. As for what to do to him, a price of twenty-one gold coins and an automatic promotion to be a royal guard belongs to anyone who brings me his head.”They all cheered madly at the offer I just made.“Let’s go," the right general said to them. The wolves shifted, I mounted on the back of the left general and he led the soldiers out of the city. Cars cleared out of the road for us to walk through, exiting the city.The stealth team chief disappeared immediately as we entered the city, leaving us to make our way to the city.The chattering of the civilia
EMILY'S POVI observed, how he wore an angry look but he was still full of strength.‘I can't pull my trump card yet until I know he's very weak.'My heart beat fast against my chest, his grizzly looks trying to scare me, I held myself, there was no need to fear him. He was panting, his blood-red eyes on me, the sky darkening slowly. He went on his furs and roared. I gulped.'Shit he is about to shift. Run.' I shouted In my head, my legs turning to the left. He dropped his armor and transformed into a half man, half beast.I saw him a little in the corner of my eyes, a gasp escaped my mouth.‘That's not how wolves shit. This asshole is a half-breed (part wolf, part lycan)’I ran faster, but he was already behind me. This is the reason why I was running without thinking.Half breeds cannot shift fully so they never leave the second stage of transformation but they are more ferocious, more gruesome, and twice as mindless as any werewolf can be. So basically, I was dead meat for him.I
(SIDE STORY)LUCAS'S POVThe alarm clock sang away by the corner of the room and as usual, I was very much tempted to ignore it and continue sleeping but an earlier and overzealous brother made sure I woke up to the alarm every morning.“Get your ass off the bed, asshole." Liam scolded, pushing me away with his feet. I grabbed the sheets like a stain, refusing to be removed. He kicked me this time and hit his dirty feet on my face. I flew off the bed Immediately, falling on the floor with a heavy thud.I heard him chuckling away on the bed while I struggled to find my feet. Eventually, I did and stood by the bed with angry red eyes, he laughed even more and I became irritated.“Stop laughing you bastard, I pounced on him and we fought a little on the bed before Mum opened the door and broke the fight.“Hey get off each other this instant." She yelled softly from the door and we disengaged.“What is wrong with the two of you? Can you two ever get along?" She lamented, stepping into t
LUCAS 'S POV“Hahahahaha." I burst into laughter. Kalife glared at me. “How can you think this is funny? He could have broken his neck you know."“Nah he is a shifting wolf. He will be fine." I said, she still was not finding it funny. Kalife reached out to help the boy, checking to see he was fine and did not get hurt anywhere.“Tsk" I clicked my tongue. It's a joke, why is she taking it seriously?Why is that girl so hard to get to?I took a Look at Liam who was observing the match and those helping the boy that fell.'Maybe he will know. I hope it won't hurt to ask him.'“Hey Liam" “Mhmm" he kept his eyes forward.“Do you know what Kalife likes?"He looked at me.“Why did you care to know about that?"“It's none of your business okay. Just answer the question"He scoffed. “Well you have to be more polite to get an answer"He turned his head around."I need to know Liam, stop being a jerk, Okay.”“Now it's me that is being a jerk right? See she is my beta so I would like to know w
(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
(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
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
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
