GEORGINA'S POVTwo days after my tense conversation with Beta Nathan, the day had come to meet the Southern pack representatives. I was determined not to let fear or doubt control me. My decision had already caused enough unrest among the kings, and I had forced them all to be present at this meeting. They didn’t trust my choice, but I was the Queen now, and my word was final.Walking down the castle corridors toward the grand hall, I took deep breaths to calm my nerves. Godfrey walked beside me, placing his hand briefly on my shoulder. As we reached the tall doors, he gave my hand a firm squeeze.“You are ready for this,” he said, a faint smile that reassured me. I nodded, then pushed the heavy doors open.Inside, the kings were seated around the long table. When they saw me, they all stood out of respect, though their faces showed their unease. I walked to my seat at the head of the table and then sat down. They followed I wasn't even allowed to take in a breath when a king leane
Godfrey’s POVThe scene before me was chilling. The kings’ bodies lay scattered across the room, lifeless and smeared with blood. My heart was pounding loudly in my chest. I have never seen anything this brutal in my life. I studied the body carefully taking a deep breath, looks like a monster was the one that attacked. Bite marks deep in their neck, claws ripped their chest open. Most of the bodies' eyes were open, and filled with fear. Looks like they weren't given the chance to run for their life. I turned in a direction, my eyes picking something strange, I moved closer to study it when Beta Nathan walked in.“They did this didn't they?” He questioned. I turned to him, and immediately a sentinel rushed in. “Our king is badly injured.”Beside me, Georgina gasped, her face pale, I caught her just as her knees buckled, wrapping my arms around her. She clutched at me, her nails digging into my arm, I could see the fear in her eyes, as she tried to force the words out but all th
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
