TRISTAN'S POV I thought she would keep her distance but instead, she was so near, my arm felt her skin against it. She faced me and took off a necklace on her neck. She saw the protest in my eyes but she still put it around my neck.“It belongs to my family. It has been a great protection for me. I am giving it to you. I hope it protects you too.” She whispered, our faces so close that I felt her breath on my face.Finally, I spoke. “Emily, please if you keep coming closer, I don't know what will happen.” I exhaled heavily, hoping my hot breath could make her see how she turned me on. But I forgot Emily is a daring woman. She wrapped her arms around my neck and instantly, she bent my head and kissed my nose. Tempting me to take the initiative. I did, throwing the curtain over the window and it hid us as I buried my lips in hers, pinning her to the wall. We had this passionate moment for the rest of the thirty minutes before midnight. Then her lips left mine first.She withdrew f
TRISTAN'S POVThe cunning fox of a wolf left the tent, he called in some healers to attend to me. Their pack doctor and a female assistant came to me. I had lain on the bed in the tent as nude as they had left me so when he came in with the girl I was extremely embarrassed but I couldn't help myself so I swallowed my shame.Luckily for me, her head was bent. The pack doctor came close to me and gave me a long look.“You are damaged internally and externally. But we will work from the inside to the outside. Because of the limited resources, we will be using sorcery on you. It should help Quicken your self-healing.” The doctor stepped aside and the little girl came forward. She began to touch every part of me that had been wounded and chanted spells while she did. I began to feel more unconformable when her hands got closer to my waist. I could not take any more and voiced out immediately.“Stop! Stop!!” I groaned a little because the yelling hurt my stomach.The doctor looked at me
(SIDE STORY)LUCIEN'S POV “The children are waiting for you, hurry.” She said, helping me into my hunting armor. I could do it myself but I let her. The tender feel of her fingers on my skin is something I would not get for some time so I had to enjoy it now.“Stop looking at me and focus on how you will be an amazing father in this hunt. The boys have been expecting you to take them for this for months now.” She admonished me but I found it lovely instead.“Yes, Luna,” I said, beaming lasciviously. She slapped my arm.“Focus on the boys.” She said again and I pretended like I was listening while waiting for her to turn around so I could ogle at her behind.She did and I enjoyed myself a little before she became self-conscious and looked at me. I smiled again like I was innocent of all the crimes her eyes charged me.She walked furiously towards me, grabbed me by the neck of my attire, and pulled my face close.“If the boys complain so much that you do not pay attention to them,
(SIDE STORY)LIAM'S POV I opened my eyes slowly, it was so bright and I could not open it too well. I turned to my side, and a little pain pierced me in the stomach. I was instantly alarmed and I struggled to sit up.Immediately I began to try it, and I felt a hand hold my back. The person helped me sit up and I looked to see who it was. The kid smiled at me and I recognized him instantly. He was the boy who put me in this situation.“Why are you here?” I almost yelled in surprise but the ache In my stomach stopped me.“I'm sorry about that. I came to be sure you are okay?” He said with concern in his voice.“Well am fine, you can see that so please go,” I said, upset. He was a reminder of my intense failure. Father told me I would fail and I did. It was such a piss-off.He stood up to go but turned to me again.“Why did you not dodge the attack? At least you should have used your hand. What were you doing when I came to you?” He asked with wonder in his voice.“Shifting of course
(SIDE STORY)LIAM'S POV “Father, I can hunt by myself, you don't have to pair me with him.” I spoke in hushed tones so the beta outside could not hear me talking.”“I thought you liked him. Anyways, you have to go in pairs and I don't want to put you together with someone I am not sure about. I don't want to do that to him either.”“But I am okay on my own,” I protested, fearing for my life to be left alone with that overly strong monster.“I know but hunting rules state that you must have a partner and frankly, you have not been in the company of anyone since you came here except of course, Kaife.” Father debunked my argument immediately. “I… I…” my words began to stutter, unable to picture the right words for this situation.“I guess I have to ask for Lucas since I cannot go alone“I will go with Lucas,” I muttered. He started laughing at me, probably wondering why I was willing to tag along with Lucas just to get away from Kaife. “Lucas is with the nobles, he is asked to c
LIAM'S POV My eyes were still looking away. I could hear him groaning in pain but I could not help him, I mean her. The gender switch was driving me mad.“Help me,” she managed to say.”I know, I know but I don't know how. You… I don't know how to treat a girl. Help me out here.”She started laughing and I was surprised by that. Upset too. “How can she be laughing in a situation like this?”“You should see your face now. You look like an idiot,” she said amidst groans. “It's funny you moron. You are… your own is that you are just so weird. How do I fix you?!” I yelled, still looking away.“Her chest is bare for the love of the goddess. Is she not even embarrassed?“I am, but somehow you are making my situation so funny.” “What the… how? Can you hear my thoughts? Since when?” I was astonished. I share mind links with Lucas alone. I didn't even have a father and mother, unlike Lucas.“Yes, I just heard it now though.” She coughed a little.“Forget that. You are dying!” I blurt
NATHANIEL'S POV “I should do what exactly?” I neared the man called Tristan so he could not forget I was the one going to the king's Palace.I still remembered the bet I made with him and I hoped he remembered too. He looked at me and instantly, I could tell that he did. “Here is how you infiltrate the palace.” He began and both me and Malcolm gave him rapt attention.“There is a food channel that goes into the palace. It is a hidden food channel because the king is Afraid of his enemies getting to him through there. Even me too, don't know how to get in there but I know where the laborers are picked up along with their luggage.”“Ok,” Malcolm urges him to continue.“The wolves who pick them up are skilled in two things - detecting malicious intent and magic of any kind.” He saved me a side glance.I smiled simply. That won't be a problem, I know how to handle that. Which Slyvia had taught Me.………. After I fully joined Malcolm, he took me out across the border Into a conqu
NATHANIEL'S POVIt wasn't long after I woke up, when everyone had gotten up too after the spell had worn off. Guess it's part of the process involved in getting the food to the palace. We checked the goods packed and began to arrange the goods carefully. The boat sailed for almost an hour and then it anchored. We carried all the goods across the border. Some giants stood in the middle of the pathway, the hefty ones threw us on their backs and went into the tree one by one. Immediately, they took me and crossed, the little effect the magic had on me wore off finally and I fully realized, we were in a cave, a deep and dark cave.I saw others being carried in the same manner too, they looked more worn out from the effect of the spell than I was but they seemed quite used to it. I kept silent, staying with them as we wheeled our cargo further into the dimly lit cave to meet those purchasing the merchandise. When we were at the half part of the cave they came into view, and I recogn
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
