****************************Ethan's povI was so happy that I went to the library, I was able to acquire knowledge on strategy, I get it, since I was the ruling Alpha of the pack, I was meant to be knowledgeable in all aspects.Well...... Here's the funny news of the century, I am not one who involves himself in history, pack wars and the formation used in the pack wars, are not my thing.Different ranks of wolves wished they were the ruling Alpha as their perspective was that those who are of royal blood were special because they had the liberty to do anything, not knowing that the one who had royal blood longed to be free. I knew that the only reason why the royal household was respected was not because of their personality but because of their status.This was until my sister broke the law by becoming the first royalty to become a major general and commandant of the army. She was respected for who she was and not for her status as the upcoming Luna of the pack.Here's a tragic ta
**************************Ethan's pov If I could turn back the hands of time to correct my mistakes, I would have done it happily.I've heard cases of a ruling Alpha having two Lunas by his side, although the result was always devastating. I chuckled to myself as I pondered on what could make a ruling Alpha as I pondered on what could make him take such decision as he knew that the decisions that he makes was to the benefit of the pack.I never knew I was going to fall into the trap that I had laughed at. "Time would tell the outcome made by the decisions you make - positively or negatively".I recalled those words and I had a gloomy countenance, I had rejected my first mate and the second mate I had cheated on me and was banished from the pack.I knew that I had messed up, it dawn on me that I had made a mistake in the decision that I made.All these predicaments started, the day I met the devil - Lauren.We met in awkward circumstance, I never realized that the meeting was going
Ethan's POVHow was I going to go about it? I didn't even know where and how to start from; I am sure that wherever Lena is right now, she's probably leaving her best life by now.She had a very loving personality, and it was really hard for anyone not to like her. I couldn't believe that I allowed myself to be fooled by Lauren. FLASHBACK I was about to leave my father's chamber when his voice called out"Ethan, come back here, that's no good way to welcome a guest and your soon-to-be father-in-law" I couldn't believe my ears; I couldn't help but imagine myself getting married to this rude wolf; yes, she was a beauty to behold; she looked so elegant, like a Luna material, but as they say, first impression matters a lot. And the first impression I have of this one is nothing to write home about. I tried my best to keep calm and make sure I didn't show how irritated I was by the statement my father made. As you know, my father is a very dangerous man, and he wouldn't fail to take o
*******************************Claire's POV "Atlas, I will be getting rid of that good-for-nothing omega trash; she thinks she could just come from nowhere and reap from where she didn't sow", I said joyfully. My maids watched me as ì was basking in happiness.I asked one of my maids to get me one of the best wines in the little wine cellar in my chambers and a glass cup so I could drink to this victory. My joy knew no bounds as I recalled everything that happened when my jewellery was found in Lena's. I knew there was no way she could run away or escape from this. The sight of Lena's head rolling on the floor of the execution ground was like a turn-on for me. I took my glass of wine walked into the bathroom sat in the bathtub. The excitement of the whole thing was just making me want to have sex. I called out to one of my maids; she came inside. I signalled her to come into the bathtub. Just as she she stepped into the bathtub a message came. "Milady, your father sends for you
***************************Claire's POV "Dad, Mom, Mom", I stammered. "I know dear, Mom is gone" He said"I couldn't help her, Dad. I couldn't help my little brother", I cried out. At first, I didn't notice the blood on my hands and mouth until I was about to wipe my tears away with my palm. As I lifted my hands, I saw my hands filled with red liquid. Yes, I called it red liquid because I didn't know what it was. The last thing I remembered was shouting and crying when the vampire got to Mom. How the red stain got to my hand I didn't know. "Dad what is this" I asked He didn't want to tell me anything, but I was going to stop asking him what happened. "You killed it?" He said"Killed what?" I asked."You killed the vampire, that attacked your mom" he replied "I killed a vampire? How did I do that"? "I think seeing your mom lay on the floor lifeless awakened your wolf, and you devoured the bastard" He replied."It's my first kill," I said "Yes dear it is" Dad answered meI f
**************************Adrian's POVI couldn't believe what Claire was saying, 'Move the baby' It just sounded like an impossible thing that one could do. But I was ready to give it a try. If it's the only chance I have to save my baby.I couldn't live without my child after waiting and trying for so long with Claire. There was even a time I slept with one of the maids working here before hoping she was gonna get pregnant, but nothing. I thought I was probably the one with the issue, maybe I couldn't just impregnate anyone.It was just so painful that the person who happened to çarry my child was someone who was a spy from the enemy's pack. I couldn't help but wonder why the moon goddess decided to do her things this way.It's said that no one can understand the ways of the gods, and truly, no one can. I decided to believe Claire and trust her on this matter. "I shall grant you all the resources and manpower you might need to get this black witch you speak of.""I promise to do
*****************************Adrian's POV 'Could it be that she approached me knowing who I was just so she could eventually infiltrate my pack' I couldn't help but keep thinking 'How long had she been making this plan, who exactly is she working with.' I was lost in thoughts "How long have you been planning this and who are you working with I asked.She looked at me like she was confused as if she didn't understand what I was saying. "I still don't know why you all still think I am a spy, and to think I am working with someone, that's just so absurd""If I was a spy then why is my pack not coming to find me after not hearing from me for some days, and do you think I would allow myself to get pregnant for an enemy" she said "It could be the strategy you and your pack decided on," I said Deep down, I knew she was right; if she was a spy, they would have come to get her because it's been long since they imprisoned her. I couldn't risk believing her because she didn't tell me f
******************************Lena's POV'I couldn't believe my ears, black witch; I won't be giving birth to my child myself; what is she saying?' I kept on thinking.The very first time I heard about witches was from Lyla, I hope you all still remember who Lyla is; just a reminder that Lyla is the ancient witch inside me. I still don't know how and why she's leaving inside of me. But I am glad she is, at least now I have someone to chat with when I am very lonely. But lately, Lyla has been quiet; I don't know what's wrong. I have been calling unto her for days now since I have been locked up; for a moment, I even thought I could ask her if she could free me from this place. But it's as if she's been sleeping. I was a wolf, an omega wolf, to be precise, but I was never trained; I don't even really know how it works. Growing up with my uncle and my cousin Lauren was hell; I would be at home doing the laundry or doing just anything while Lauren was being trained on how to protect
**************************Lena's POV I opened my eyes to see Ethan lying lifeless beside me, almost dead. He was standing in between me and Zane as if he was trying to wait till I had woken up so I could continue from where he stopped. I looked at the place where Adrian was. He still lay down lifeless and almost dead. "Ethan, what are you doing facing Zane" but he couldn't hear me. The next thing I saw was an almost lifeless body lying in front, eyes wide open and staring at me. I felt a rage inside. I looked at both men, and the rage to protect those I loved just sparked in me.All of a sudden, light began to shine out from every part of my body. I was still wrapped by the tendrils, but as my light began to shine from my body, little by little, I started to feel the grip of the tendrils loosen up little by little until It loosened up completely."Oh I see you are finally awake, your boyfriend tried to delay me so you could wake up I will give him a plus for that but one thing I kn
**************************Lena's POV I was very angry about the whole thing, angry about how Ethan tried to convince me to go with him and leave Adrian. I couldn't believe he asked me to do something like that. Running through the tunnels, fueled by anger and desperation, I made up my mind to destroy Zane and make sure I saved Adrian. Ethan continued to beg me and try to change my mind, but I waivedamantm a. NT I listen to. All I could think of was saving Adrian no matter what. I wasn't going to do this; I was going to allow myself to be deceived by his selfishness. 'I don't care what Ethan says but I won't abandon Adrian and I will make sure I make Zane pay for what he has done' I said to myself I continued to move deeper into tunnels, meetings, and staircases. Everywhere I passed through, I came across Zane's minion. These dar,k evil creatures blocked my pain, and I showed them no mercy. I used every bit of anger I felt inside of me, channelling my growing rage into my attacks.
*********************Ethan's POV The sight of what I saw dreaded Me I could see the life being sniffed out from Lyla I controlled the urge to run into the middle of everything and just try to save her but I needed a plan I wouldn't want to go there and then I ended up being caught in the Web of what was going on without being able to save Lena. I tried to see if I could get signs of her alive, and I decided to use my hearing to check for a heartbeat. I was glad when I heard her heartbeat. Though it was slow, I was glad it was still beating. Leba was unconscious, with dark magic swirling around her as Zane kept on draining the power and life inside of her. Adrian was barely unconscious, chained and weakened. My heart pounded as I accessed the situation. I knew the time was running out, and I must act quickly to save both lena and Adrian. 'There's no way to win this fight outright. I need to overhang him,' I said to myself. I began to analyse and observe Zane's movement and powers.
*********************Adrian's POVI woke up to see a bunch of rocks lying on my body; I awakened my alpha strength and then used it to push off the rocks that had fallen on me. I was angry at myself for what I had done. The last thing I remember was Lena lashing out at me, sending me flying. The thoughts of that scenario just made me more angry at myself it made me feel so stupid. I didn't know how long that was.'She couldn't have gone far' I said to myself I moved the last rock on my leg and started moving forward. As I moved further, I began to see packs of Zane's minions dead on the floor. I checked for their pulses, and it seemed like they had been dead for a while. I was shocked; I wondered, how long they had died for. I left them and moved forward down the tunnel. Nel, I met more and more minions that appeared to be dead along the line bu, but I didn't see a sign of Lena. I decided to follow the trail of dead bodies and continued going further and further until I came close
*********************ETHAN'S POV we had come so far, but we finally got to where Lebs felt Adrian was, but we didn't find him there. Zane outsmarted us. He had beaten us to it. In a way, he was able to see through Lena's scanning to find Adrian too, and now Lena wants to go save Adrian.I wasn't going to allow them to face Zane unprepared; she had not learned enough to be able to defeat Zane. It was a dangerous thing. I was not also going to slow the risk of her life because of Adrian. She means more to me than the life of Adrian.Yes, call me selfish if you want, but I don't mind being selfish when it comes to the matters of Lena. Besides, I already listed her once; I wasn't going to lose her again to Zane, and this felt like a good way to eliminate my competition. I know that deep down in that innocent heart of yours, you are judging me, saying I am wicked, and seriously... I don't mind at all. You can think whatever you want to. All I was trying to do was just to make sure I did
***********************Lena's POV I signalled to him to hurry so we coukd go find Adrian. He ran fast enough but what he did I wasn't expecting it he kissed me. It was a very brief one but I wondered how he was still able to think about doing something like that in this present situation we were in. A situation of life abd death, I actually liked the way he did it, it brought a quick smile on my face but It was immediately changed to an angry face when zabe spoke out again. "Fool you think you would win because you have this little trick" he said "I will come for you when I am done saving Adrian" I said angrily I forgot again that he was talking to me telepathically and ethsn wouldn't hear what we were saying but I ended up saying my reply our angrily. "No you are not facing him today you are not ready to do that lena" ye said worriedly.I ignored him, I kept walking down to the place where I saw Adrian while scanning through the tunnels. On reaching there I couldn't find him a
*********************Lena's POV As we navigated our way through the forest, trying to locate where I had seen Adrian while I was scanning the maze with my powers, the fortress became serious and dead quiet. It was a dangerous sign that we were entering a heavily guarded area, but I was slightly confused. I didn't see this place where I was scanning. Getting closer, I got to understand that it was because the dark magic covering this particular area was a very thick and strong one that my light couldn't penetrate through, probably because I didn't tap into the right amount of light magic. I just felt like I didn't need much of it to scan through it's why I didn't tap into much light. But I then understood that I was supposed to tap into as much as I could. We were fixed to confront a smaller group of minions in a very brief but intense fight.Ethan was the one who handled most of the combat combining his wolf strength with his skills of handling a weapon. I used my magical powers t
****************************Lena's POV I and Ethan carefully moved through the darkness, sticking to the shadows to avoid detection. The tension became more heightened as we began to hear the sound of footsteps and the constant growling of Zaes minions. My heart pounded, and I tried to keep myself composed, knowing Adrian was somewhere nearby. There was a serious debate in my mind. I was wondering if I could use my magic to cloak my presence, but I feared I might alert Zane if I couldn't get it right. I knew that every step we took brought us closer to the danger we would eventually have to face. I still had a deep contemplation of the matter, wondering if there was a way I could avoid Zane and not fight him. The whole fortress seemed to be fortified with his dark magic. I could feel the weight of its presence weighing strongly on me.As we continued deeper into the fortress, we began to see more groups of Zane's minions. Now it was really obvious that Zane had already felt my pre
***************************Adrian's POV I tried removing my hands, but he held on tight his grip was strong. He twisted my hands. I groaned in pain. I could hear my bones crack and the sound of my muscles tearing. He used his other hand to give me a hard blow on my belle. It sent me flying over and falling to the ground. He rushed at me on the ground with his vamp speed, hitting me on the ground and brushing me against the wall of the tunnel. I could sense my soul almost slipping away from my body I felt like I was going to die but my mind flashed back to LenaImmediately I felt a sudden wave of strength flow through me it was like the thought of Lena had just sparked new strength within me as I was being dragged around the walls of the tunnel in a circle I managed to bring out my claws using then them to forcefully hit the vampire making sure my claws passed through his skin.The pain he felt made him throw me down forcefully. But he was a vampire. They heal faster than werewolves
