Sylvia was one sly fox. Who would have thought that she was capable of doing such a thing? I had the urge to plug out her eyes, or her heart and place it in her hand.No one has ever dared to challenge me in any capacity until. The truth is, I felt challenged by Sylvia's actions.However, instead of reacting negatively, I decided to direct my focus on strengthening my empire.I had summoned all the security guards in the palace, they were placed under observation and probation. It would be a secret operation.My goal was to fish out every weak individual who might be a liability to us someday and to return the palace to the power centre it used to be.Until I achieve what I intended to do with Sylvia, I will continue to act neutral around her. I can't believe she had already attempted to kill someone when she had not even spent a week in the palace.“I want a mini control room prepared in one of the rooms in the Manor. No one should not know about this” I said to Beta.“Also, I want m
Arden's POVSylvia's beauty was divine. Her body stood out among all other women. She was the perfect figure for the status of the Queen.But in all honesty, that was not the reason why she was picked. There was more to her presence in the palace. She had a role to play which was unknown to her. She was just a means to an end.To obtain more information from B Pack, I had to endure her chatter. She doesn't know when to stop talking, more like that was the only thing she knew how to do well.I was never comfortable talking to her, even though I could not conceal it completely, I was trying my best to put up with her. She was too forward and that was a big turn off for me.However, I had to endure all her characters, including the crime she committed lately. She was not aware that I knew that she was the culprit.Although, Sylvia was not aware that I was using her to get her father's plan. But I knew that sooner or later I would get whatever Information I needed from her due to her talk
Serena's POVSince I recovered and returned from the hospital, everyone has been gentle around me. I thought I could finally have peace of mind and live my life quietly in this palace since there was no hope that I could ever escape.But I was wrong. There was a limit to how nice they would continue to be, and there was someone who seemed to dine and wine with wickedness. The person was Sylvia.She had summoned me to her residence like the last time. And she was rude and mean to me. As usual, she poured the water she had in her on my face.Arden, who has been avoiding me since my return suddenly showed up, and once again, without asking what had happened, he slapped my face.I fell to the ground and my left hand was holding on to one side of my cheek that was peppering me.He seemed to realize that he was wrong immediately, he bent down beside me, he tried to touch my cheek with worries etched around his sketchy face.I pushed him away instantly before his hand reached me. I was not i
Serena's POVAfter my conversations with Alpha Zone, I became excited as anticipation took over my heart. I was overwhelmed with joyful joy. I have never more happier than this.Even though it had not happened yet and the probability of a positive outcome was uncertain, I still looked forward to the weekend when the birthday would happen with the hope that whatever regular I tendered would be granted.I went about making more enquiries about the event eagerly, I could not hold myself together, and although it was not far again, I became impatient due to anticipation.I also decided to practice and prepare for what I would be presenting. I was glad that his golden opportunity came my way.Just when I was about to give up and accept this ill fate of mine, while wandering around the beautiful garden, Alpha Zone came with such good news. Indeed the beauty garden was a place of hope. I should go there more often.The queen's mother's birthday would be on the coming Saturday, it was a weeke
Serena's POVEvery time you make people feel something, you are winning beyond doubt. Seeing eagerness and curiosity on everybody's faces, I was happy that I was winning. It satisfied my soul.“Your Higher, thank you for this privilege, it means a lot to me and I will never take it for granted. The only wish I have is to leave the palace” I said confidently.Once again, everybody was stunned. I guess they did expect to hear something else from me.Even Arden could not hide his shock, his expression says it all. Unlike Sylvia who seemed to be pleased to hear such a wish from me.At least she could finally have the king to herself once I left the palace. And she goes on to become a local champion. It was no longer my business.Queen Mother seemed surprised too, but she was composed as it was not too noticeable. I was not useful to her In any way, I was just an ordinary Omega. So there was no personal reason for her to reject my request.She stood up from the royal chair and stepped down
Serena's POVFox was so vile and terrible that it was her task to intimidate and punish others. They would laugh out loud like they enjoyed taunting me. But they were not just taunting me, they were making life difficult for me.After Sylvia ordered them, they carried me to the restroom area and laid me on the floor. Fox held me down for the others as they tried to rip clothes apart. I was terrified.“When the King finds out about this, he will surely deal with you all” I yelled at them but my eyes were fixed on Fox before I dashed a glare at Sylvia.“You slut! So you still have the boldness to mention the king's name in your filthy mouth? Deal with her until she begs for her life”Sylvia was a terrible person, and she was able to recruit people who shared the same traits with her.“Are you still trying hard to seduce him?” She asked.Upon her questions, I realized that this might push me into a deeper abyss. So I refrain from calling Arden's name for help. I was only trying to scare
Arden's POVEmma can be too forward and overly annoying sometimes, but when it comes to planning an important event, she is the best option. I liked her attention to detail and how she organised every event of the Royal Family without error.She had a way of coming up with new ideas for the decoration and setting up of the banquet hall.There was only one hall, but she always worked with the royal decorators to ensure that they gave the hall a different look and taste.Emma was more than a housekeeper. She was excellent at her job.She knew what to do for the upcoming engagement party, but according to her, she still wanted to know if I had any opinions.“You don't have to do all these things on your list,” I said to her.“Oh, what would you like us to prepare this time around exactly?” She asked me.“I know you like making statements about royal events. But we won't be doing that this time. It should be a simple event. Don't use too many resources, and only a few people should be inv
Serena's POVSometimes, you are too busy being careful without even knowing that what you were avoiding is right under your nose.I was stunned, surprise and shock took over my heart when I saw Arden standing by the doorway.He was even more surprised than I was, his expression was more of shock than disgust. His sharp eyes gazed at Alpha Zone with horror.My throat began to burn like it was set on fire, and my legs felt frozen but losing balance at the same time. I was waiting for what would happen next, but instead of yelling at me or humiliating me as usual, he ordered Alpha Zone to follow him and they both went away immediately.At first, I had thought Arden had come to the villa to see me, but it immediately hit me that it was just an illusion, he couldn't have come this far to see me. After all, he had threatened me hours ago.Although it was just a fake kiss Alpha Zone staged to protect me from Sylvia and her vultures, I was still worried that Arden might give him a hard time,
Evelyn’s PoVOur kiss had transformed into something more. One thing led to the other until I found him on top of me, on the bare ground and completely naked.“Do you want me?” Marcus grinned. He could tell I couldn’t resist him.“No.” I joked but Marcus could tell it was all a lie. I tried to let myself out of his grip jokingly but he pinned me down to the ground gently.“You’re mine, Evelyn. I love you.” He whispered into my ears.“I love you too, Marcus.” I whispered scared that I was going to give him all of me. I mean I wanted to but then again… my mum.“Can I?” He asked politely.“Uh-huh.” I whispered, nodding my head.He went in and at first it was painful but after the first few thrusts, I was having the best time of my life.“Is this your first?” I asked. Marcus hesitated to answer and I laughed.“You’re like seven years older than me of course you have.” I said as I moaned in between. “You’re so good.” I moaned.“I could say the same about you.” Marcus grinned, breathing hea
Author PoVCouncil room tension remained strong and difficult to breathe. The golden flames in Serena's eyes made her tighten her fists when she turned against Rachel and Ardan."You failed to defend my daughter when they sentenced her." Her voice broke in two from feeling betrayed when she spoke. She was really angry as she confronted Rachel and Ardan through her words.The pain of her loss made Rachel's face immobile. "She took Zone's life," she spoke plainly to them. “The damage she caused doesn't matter if it happened by accident. He’s dead because of her.”Serena’s breath hitched. She repeated her defence by saying it was not Evelyn's responsibility. “She wasn’t in control. You should recognise how Gloria influenced her. Evelyn would never—""Would never?" Rachel scoffed. “She already did.”Ardan interrupted with his measured tone before Serena could respond. He studied her showing deep emotions Serena could not recognise. “The moment Caden exiled me you stood by silently. And I
Author PoVJosephine had to be patient, as she knew that the truth, when used effectively, could cut deeper than claws or teeth. She had spent weeks spying on him, biding her time for the right moment to act. When she came upon Isiah alone, she drew closer with an air of casual interest, getting into some small talk about the current tensions in the pack. It wasn’t much to get him to let his guard down—he had always loved a good conversation.He hesitated the moment she mentioned Zone, but Josephine prompted him to continue, managing to play along with some sympathy. She had assured him that once the truth would set free, it would give all relief to those who needed it. Then he finally broke the silence she had been wishing for when he told that, during the battle, Evelyn had been the one who had killed Zone. It hadn’t been with intent, but still, it was true.Josephine felt no surprise. She had had her suspicions since Luca mentioned it to her. The moment she left Isiah, she made her
Evelyn’s PoVFor the last few weeks, both physically and emotionally, it had been an exhausting experience. The burden of my powers, my past, and that how much the pack disbelieved me weighed heavy on my shoulders. To this day, walking through that pack was no easy feat. I could feel the whispers, sideways glances, the fear unspoken. Nothing I could do seemed to work—I was somehow stuck with wounds too deep to heal.My mother, of course, had always picked up on it. She noticed everything.One evening, after the patrols had returned and the pack settled in for the night, she summoned me to her room. The way she had set herself at the wooden table, hands folded tightly, made me realise she must have something serious to talk by all means. Maybe Rachel had told someone about the truth of Zone’s death."Sit," she said gently, indicating the chair opposite her with her head.I did as I was told, and I could feel the air swell into some heavy tension that we both couldn't vocalise."You've
Author’s PoVJosephine waited while ever so patiently inserting her influence. She made sure that the pack was thoroughly prepared to follow her very soon. Little by little, a few calls here and there with the pack elders, appearance as the concerned mother in moments that would demand it, a strategically placed comment, this was how she slowly began to undermine Serena's standing.The birth of Dorian changed everything. He was Ardan's son; he was the legitimate heir. And Josephine saw to it that all in the pack understood it that way.Everything was being calculated.Josephine was at the centre of every pack gathering, dispensing advice as if that had always been her lot with the pack leaders. She reminded them how strong the pack had to be and how they could not afford to trust anyone compromised by dark magic. And when she was certain the time was right, she made her boldest move yet and questioned whether Evelyn had earned her place in the pack.This was during a pack meeting call
Ardan’s PoVTwo months later….A newborn screamed loudly in the room; disturbing silence everywhere it spread. Josephine lay on the bed, worn out though there was clearly a hidden shine of victory hidden in the background. She rocked the small bundle wrapped in rags and whispered reassuring words. My son.I swallowed hard.A son. My blood. My pride.I did not know what to feel.I stood stupefied, watching. It was as though an iron chain dropped onto my shoulder, and as much as I wished to deny it, this little one would turn my world upside down.Josephine looked at me. "Do you want to hold him?"I hesitated. My hands felt too big, too rough. But just as I was about to respond, she reached forward and carefully placed the newborn in my arms.His size surprised me. A soft ball up in little fists, the baby opened and clenched its eyes, squirming in discomfort before sleeping soundly. A son. I'd never thought I'd ever have one, I thought I’d never get to have my own blood yet here he lay,
Evelyn PoVI stayed seated on top of the wooden training grounds fence while I watched the fighters below lock together in combat. Weakness dragged down my body until it felt like an invisible burden I had to carry. I had abused my powers beyond what was safe since I could not stop myself.I needed to show my worth to my mother as well as Ardan and Luca and each member of the pack.Even though everything pointed at me badly the accusations persisted through the air like an intense burden.“She’s cursed."“She’s dangerous."The pack members even believed I should have died during the tragedy with Gloria.I clenched my fists.Taken back by a familiar tone I turned to see who spoke behind me.“You’re wearing yourself out.”Standing before me was Marcus who watched me with concern while crossing his arms. After studying me carefully with his dark eyes he kept looking at me but I stared elsewhere.“I can handle it.” I muttered.Marcus jumped after me as he joined me on top of the fence. “Y
Authors PoVAs Serena stood at the centre of the war room, the morning air was very cool. Maps were spread out on the wooden table before her. The tension in the room was thick, filled with murmurs of worry as the pack elders and warriors kept gathering.The scout conveyed disturbing intelligence indicating that a new pack under an unknown leader was regrouping. Where they had come from no one knew, but they were fast growing and did pose a direct danger to the very tenuous peace they were trying to establish.Serena exhaled as she looked from face to face around the room, many battle-worn and weary of the endless blood-shedding and survival. Their morale was low, and she realised that it was perhaps justified."We should be prepared," Serena said firmly, scanning the faces around the room. "Whatever their intentions, we can't afford to be taken unaware."There were some murmurs of agreement, but Serena could see doubt in their eyes. Some of them had already lost far too much.At the
Author’s PoVThe anger inside Luca kept growing until it became unbearable. The sensation persisted relentlessly from the first day it emerged thus steadily intensifying its strength as days passed. His mind showed his father's face whenever he tried to rest his eyes. Zone had continuously been present in Luca's life but his sudden passing left an unfillable space.The Red Blood Moon pack served as responsible culprits. Luca knew it. Since no one else had the courage to seek justice for his father's death Luca decided to take revenge himself.Under dark conditions Luca found a small assembly of wolves willing to seek revenge. These warriors belonged to the younger generation and showed impatience for violent conflict. They didn’t question his leadership. They followed without hesitation.The pack traveled deep into rogue territory using swift movements through the dense forest. Through diligent path observation, Luca had meticulously tracked down their patrolling routes for multiple w
