Georgina's POVThe room was so suffocating that I could see my life flashing right before my eyes. A heavy silence filled the air, broken only by the murmurs of the elders as they gathered around the mangled bodies of the kings. My breath caught in my throat as I saw the rage and grief etched into their faces."You invited them," one elder spat, his voice filled with venom. “We weren't in support of this, you went on and on that you know what you were doing, see what you caused.”"I didn’t know this would happen," I said, my voice trembling."You didn’t know?" Another elder stepped forward, His eyes burned into mine. "You brought them into our home, Georgina. Twenty-one kings, dead in one night. Their blood is on your hands."“What was Alpha Thomas thinking?” Another shouted. “you might have your father's blood but you are just a woman, look what you have caused.”The accusation hit me like a blow. My knees shaking, but I held my ground refusing to crumble before them."I didn't kil
Georgina's POV The room fell silent as the doors creaked open. The Southern Region’s commander stepped inside, tall and broad, his face filled with anger. He carried two bodies, draped over his shoulders like they weighed nothing. Naya and Kael. His eyes locked with mine as he dropped them on the floor in front of me.Gasps filled the hall. Some elders stepped back in horror, while others pointed accusing fingers at him.“How dare you bring this into our home?” one elder shouted, his voice shaking.The commander didn’t blink. His sharp eyes locked onto me. “You caused this,” he said coldly.Before I could respond, another elder yelled, “You killed our kings! And now you come here as if you have any right to speak?”The gamma of the palace rushed to him, his claws outstretched ready to strike but before he could even lay a finger on him, the commandant used his claws to slice his throat. The gamma held his throat trying to stop the blood from coming out of his throat, he finally dro
Godfrey’s pov.The queen’s chambers were dimly lit, the moonlight sneaking through the curtains, casting silvery patterns on the floor. I hesitated outside her door, my heart hammering. After all that had unfolded tonight, the last thing I wanted was to add to her burdens, but I had to see her. I pushed the door open gently, and she glanced up, startled, from her seat by the window.“Godfrey,” she said. “How are you holding up?” I asked still at the door. “The people are scared and confused.”“Are you here to blame me too?”I shook my head, stepped into the room and closed the door behind me. “No, Your Majesty. How can I, when I know this isn't your fault?”She smiled walked over to me and pulled me into a hug. “Thank you, Godfrey, you have always been by my side.”“I'm right here,” I said patting her head reassuringly. “I don’t even know what to do anymore, Godfrey, who must have done this? It's obviously to make me look bad.”“Are you saying that someone is behind this?”She nodd
Godfrey’s POV.The sentinels surrounded us immediately, their claws outstretched while some moved closer to the queen to grab her. “Enough,” I snapped at the sentinels turning to Gamma Israel. “She is the queen, you don't have any right to do this.”One sentinel stepped forward, his voice shaking, “Step aside, Godfrey. The council has spoken.”I moved in front of the queen, placing myself firmly between her and them. “Over my dead body,” I growled, my voice laced with venom as I darted my eyes to each sentinel. “If you want to take the queen you have to go through me.”Thomas scoffed. “It seems that you have more respect for the queen than the King…or is there something more to this?”I turned to him with a glare. He was nothing more than a bastard that needed to be killed. The lead sentinel hesitated, glancing back at his comrades for support. That moment of hesitation was all it took for the wolf inside me to take over.My body contorted, a sharp pain ripping through my muscles as
Godfrey's POV I returned to the village in the Kingdom, where the massacre of the Alphas had taken place, determined to uncover the truth. The villagers were quiet, their eyes locked on me as I passed them. I wouldn't blame them, after what happened, all strangers were seen as a threat. They whispered among themselves, some rushing to drag their children inside their houses as they slammed the door shut. I dismounted near the center of the village and looked around, observing the simple homes. I approached a lady walking past me, she turned to me with a glare. “My name's Godfrey,” I introduced. “You are the queen's guard?” She frowned. I nodded slowly. “I am here to find out answers, there might still be danger ahead.”“Damn the queen,” she cussed. “The only danger here is her ruling,” she eyed. “Fucking bitch,” she cussed again and walked away. “We have had enough of your kingdom, please leave,” another man shouted. “I just want to find the Southerners,” I revealed. “Just p
GEORGINA'S POV.The evening air was cold, cold enough to freeze a fire, it was as though even the air was against me. I sat in my room, staring blankly at the map spread across the table. I hadn’t left the palace in days and there was no word from Godfrey, I was already getting scared.Joana entered the room, her face filled with worries. “I know you are more concerned about Godfrey than the war.”I exhaled deeply, closing my eyes for a brief second. “Any word from him yet? I don't give a fuck about this, I just want to make sure Godfrey is safe.”“Godfrey is safe, but no word from him yet.”I nodded, walking towards the bed. “Any news from the kingdoms.”“Well, the Black Stone Kingdom has declined to offer support. They said they cannot afford to lose more people after their alpha's death.”I sighed and turned away, trying to cover my disappointment…but honestly I didn't know what I was expecting from them.“That’s not all,” she continued. “Gamma Israel just received word from the o
Author’s POVThomas stormed into his chambers, slamming the door behind him. The sound echoed through the room, he closed his eyes briefly before walking towards his bed and started pacing. He knew what was coming and the fate of their pack. Minutes later, Gamma Israel knocked before stepping inside, He stood near the door, waiting for Thomas to speak first.Thomas stopped pacing, his back to Israel. “Tell me,” he demanded. “How bad is it?”Israel folded his arms. “It’s as bad as it gets. None of the packs will stand with us. Every message has been the same…excuses, refusals, silence. They have all turned their backs…and yet they want revenge for their alpha.”Thomas scoffed, shaking his head. “Then who do they want to take revenge from? The moon goddess for not preventing any of this from happening?”“They think this is Georgina's fault and her problem,” he added. “Cowards. All of them. Do they think the South will spare them if Georgina falls?” Thomas scoffed. “I am pretty sure
Georgina's POVI walked the narrow hallway leading to Pamela's chambers. The hallway was completely empty, most of the servants had returned to their hometown to fall with their family. My heartbeat echoed in my ears as I reached her door.I took in deep breaths before knocking on the door. Lena opens the door, my fists clenched in anger, she was the cause of everything happening right now. “Your majesty,” she bowed. “Pamela doesn't want to see anyone right now.”“Get out of my way or you would be the one that won't be seen by anyone.”She bowed, walking out of the room. I pushed the door open slowly. Pamela sat in front of the mirror, brushing her long, dark hair without looking up at me. “Pamela,” I began cautiously, stepping inside. “I need to talk to you.”She placed the brush down and turned her head, just enough to look at me from the corner of her eye. “What are you doing here?,” she asked, her voice laced with venom.I swallowed hard, it was clear she wasn't happy with me.
Godfrey’s POVThe morning of our wedding arrived with the soft glow of the sun spilling across the palace grounds. The sky was clear, the air cool and fresh, filled with the scents of wildflowers and pine from the nearby forest. Our wedding wasn’t just an ordinary one…it was a sacred werewolf ceremony, a bond blessed by the Moon Goddess, witnessed by our ancestors, and celebrated by our pack.The ceremony took place in the Moonstone Glade, a magical clearing hidden deep within the forest. The ground was covered with soft green moss, and petals of white and red flowers were scattered everywhere. An arch made of silver birch branches stood tall at the center, decorated with roses. Georgina had insisted that we did our wedding here and I agreed to it. “Are you nervous?” David whispered behind me. “Because I am.”I chuckled, turning to him. “I am the groom but you look more nervous than I am.”That was a lie, my heart was on fire, and I was only faking my calmness. Before he could r
Godfrey’s POVWe returned to the palace, people gasped in shock when they saw Georgina walking in, some of the maids fainted, and some elders rushed outside, their faces etched with a mixture of confusion and curiosityTheirThey eyes darting between Georgina and Thomas and Nathan, not sure which one to believe, both revelations was just too shocking. Georgina smiled walking towards the elders, they staggered backward in fear as they stared at her. Joana rushed over, pulling her into a hug. “You are alive,” she cried. Georgina smiled and released herself from her embrace. “come, I know you have a lot that you want to tell me and you want to know,” she said dragging her away. I turned to the sentinels. “Take the culprits to the dungeon, I want all eyes on them.”They nodded and moved into action, dragging them away. Just then another sentinel walked up to me and told me that my parents had arrived and were waiting for me. I asked him to gesture them in, and he nodded leaving immedi
Godfrey's POV***The day of Georgina's attack***The cold wind blew through the thick forest as we searched for Nathan and Thomas, but there was no sign of them. “Keep looking,” I instructed the guards, suddenly Draco felt uneasy. I paused looking around but there was nothing around that could have triggered Draco. “What happened?” I asked. I could feel Draco's rage flaring up, his growl low but dangerous. Something was wrong.I could finally feel it, something was indeed not right, I looked around studying the forest, and my eyes turned to Pamela who looked uneasy. This was a trick, a trap or a diversion. “Georgina,” I muttered, my eyes widened in alarm and without thinking, I ran back toward the mountains, my heart hammering loudly in my chest. I needed to get to Georgina immediately. I got to where I left her and Alicia and found no one, my uneasiness growing as I scanned the environment, but still no sign of them. Suddenly I looked up and I saw her.Georgina.She was stand
AUTHOR'S POV. Pamela stormed into the dimly lit room, her footsteps loud against the stone floor. She slammed the door shut behind her, the echo ringing through the room, Her hands curled into fists, her whole body trembling with anger.Across the room, Alicia leaned against the wall, her arms crossed under her breasts, a faint smile playing on her lips. The flickering candlelight cast shadows on her face. “We had a deal," Pamela spat, her voice cold and sharp. “You tricked me.”Alicia sighed, tilting her head slightly as if bored by the conversation. "Your mother is dead, Pamela. Isn’t that what you wanted?"Pamela’s eyes burned with rage. “I wanted her dead,” Pamela snapped, walking closer to her. “But do you know what I wanted more? The throne,” she snapped. “I did my own part of the job,” Alicia hissed. “Your own part of the job?* She scoffed, shaking her head in disbelief. “I wanted the throne, you said you would give me the throne.”Alicia let out a chuckle. “You lost th
Godfrey’s POVThe rain fell hard as we rode through the palace gates, but it did nothing to wash away the blood. Georgina’s body lay cold in my arms, wrapped in a dark cloak, her face pale as the dead sky above us.I could not feel anything. No pain. No anger. Just emptiness.I couldn't help but feel this was my fault, I was the one that persuaded her to go on this trip and I led her to her death and worst of all I couldn't catch the culprits. Tears flowed down my cheeks freely, words could not explain how I felt, I just felt empty and filled with guilt. “It is all your fault, it is your fault, your fault,” the accusations kept playing in my mind.I searched through my mind looking for Draco, I needed someone to pull me back…it was just too sudden. I kept glancing back at her body, hoping Georgina would just get up but she didn't.The sentinels followed behind in silence, their faces grim, so we were crying loudly. The moment we stepped inside the palace, the cries increased. Ser
Georgina’s POVThe cold wind from the North Sea hit my face as I stood by the rocky shore. The waves crashed against the rocks again and again, as if trying to pull the land into the sea. I inhaled deeply not wanting to miss any part of this, I was happy I actually listened to Godfrey because this was just what I needed.For the first time in weeks, I felt like I could breathe, No walls around me. No people watching my every move, Just the sound of the sea, stretching far and endless before me.Godfrey stood beside me, a faint smirk playing on his lips as he enjoyed the view.“See you like it,* he blurted out. “The sea air is good for you, good for resting.”“Is this a way of rubbing it on my face that you were right?” I chuckled, turning my head to him. *I can't say I wasn't trying to rub it off,” he said, giving me a wink. “You need to learn I am always right.”“I sighed, wrapping my hand around his. “I can’t remember the last time I felt this… free,” I admitted.Godfrey glanced a
Godfrey’s POVI walked down the dimly lit hallway, my footsteps echoing softly against the stone floor, the cool air of the night brushing through my face. I haven't seen Alicia since that morning and I have been getting nervous about it for a long time. I got to her room, scanning the hallway, I pushed open the door to her room without knocking.She was sitting in a chair, her posture calm, but I could feel, the tension in her, I couldn't see her face since she had her back facing me but I could tell she was tired. It was clear her werewolf was restless, even though she was silent, I could almost hear her wolf breathing heavily, I could feel its exhaustion… This must be what Garrick was talking about, I could actually feel her wolf. "Alicia," I said, stepping closer.She didn’t look at me right away, Instead, she kept staring at the wall, like she didn't know of my presence, Finally, she turned her head slightly. "Godfrey.""You seem... off." I studied her carefully. "Your wolf i
Thomas's POVThe moment the sack was yanked off, I felt the world tilt beneath me."Beta Nathan?" My voice cracked. I lunged forward, barely feeling the pain from my torn back as I wrapped my arms around him. His body was thinner, But he was actually alive. His arms tightened around me. "Thomas..." His voice was thick as if he hadn’t spoken in a long time.Tears glistening in my eyes. "I thought you were dead! Georgina…I thought she killed you!" My chest tightened with rage, with grief, with every emotion I had buried since I had been thrown into this hellhole.Nathan let out a bitter chuckle. "She wanted to, I almost thought I would be beheaded the next day, but someone switched me before the execution. I don’t even know who but all I knew was that I was taken to another place in the North but I was still locked away."He pulled back, gripping my shoulders. "And you, Thomas? They said you were dead, too. What happened?"I swallowed hard, the memories clawing at my throat. “The Kin
The sun was scorching as it beat down on the vast prison yard, dust swirling in the dry wind. The South’s biggest and hardest prison was no place for a man like Thomas. He had spent his life in luxury, waking up in silk sheets, eating the finest meals, and being waited on hand and foot, but here, comfort was a far-gone fantasy and suffering was their reality. Sweat dripped down his forehead as he swung the heavy pickaxe against the unyielding ground. His hands, once soft and uncalloused, now bled from the rough wood of the handle. His muscles ached, not used to such brutal labor, Around him, hardened criminals worked without pause, their bodies already accustomed to the endless toil.A low chuckle echoed behind him. “Look at the northern King, struggling like a newborn pup,” a voice sneered.Thomas turned, his breath heavy. Standing before him was the prisoner’s captain, a massive man with thick scars running across his arms and a jagged-toothed grin. His name was Darius, and he r
