*Arnold's POV*Stan walked in with a man. “The men we sent out to find clues have returned, Your Majesty. Still nothing has been found yet, we might even be searching the wrong path of the world for Them.” He said. I sighed and buried my face in my palm. “How long are we going to continue searching for my mate and son? Arnold rose from death and suddenly just took them away from me, he won't hand them over back, and we don't even know where he is!” I said angrily, my voice echoing through the hallway. Stan and the men moved back in fear. I sounded so frustrated that even the soldiers outside came in to check if everything was okay. I stared around and sat back. “My lord, what do you suggest we do now? We are running out of time and the Ravens pack hasn't probably found anything too.” Stan stated. “Searching for them doesn't seem to be helping with the situation anymore. I think things have gone too bad and are above our head now. Moreover, you are right, we are running out of time
Tristan's POVI was in the living room discussing with the alpha of the rogue village, Karl. When Alan walked in. He took his seat and sighed. “Where have you been, Alan? You know we have a lot to do.” I said. Alan sighed deeply. “You know well that I am a businessman, Alpha Tristan and I needed to keep an eye on my business. What will happen to our plan if we run out of money?” He asked. I chuckled softly. “You don't have to make it sound so serious. I know you've been busy with your business.” I said. “That apart, how is the plan going? Should we be expecting things to start moving very soon?” Alan asked eagerly. Karl sighed deeply, causing two of us to halt and stare at him. “You sure do always sound eager when it comes to the plan…” He stated. “Well, what can I say? We agreed to help each other. He gets his revenge on Alpha Arnold, and I take over the pack. A win-win situation for everybody!” Alan replied. I was quiet and watched as the two talked. After a while, they f
*Tristan's POVMy words sent chills down Freya's spine. I could clearly see she was so scared now. “Do not get your hopes high that you'll win this battle. There is no way out anymore. You will get rid of the child and will be mine forever.” I said menacingly. Almost immediately, one of the rouge soldiers walked in and bowed slightly. “Alpha Tristan, Your beta is here to see you. Shall we let him in or just send him away.” The rogue soldier asked. I halted and stared at him confused. “Wayne is here? I do not remember asking for him or anything. All he had to do was keep an eye on Amon. Is that too much for him now?” I thought. “You can let him in. I'll be out to see him shortly.” I said. The rogue soldier bowed and left. I sighed and turned to Freya, who was completely silent. She seemed to be still petrified by the shocking declaration. “Enjoy the moments whilst it lasts, and don't worry, I will let you speak to Arnold one last time before I finally kill him.” I said with a
Wayne's POVI journeyed to the Rouge village on Tyler's request. As soon as I reached the gate, the guards unsheathed their swords and threatened that I should leave immediately. “What the fuck is with you people? I haven't even stated why I am here, and you're already threatening me?” I asked angrily. The rogue soldiers stared at each other confused. “Yeah, you better be confused. Now, I am here to see Alpha Tristan. Let me in before I lose my cool and smash your heads.” I said Sternly. I watched one of the rogue soldiers walk away. The other continued staring at me in silence. “What the fuck are you staring at, midget? Quit showing me your ugly face!” I said and chuckled. The rogue soldier frowned at me and slowly unsheathed his sword again. Just then, the first soldier came back. “We can let him in now. He is the Beta to Alpha Tristan.” He said. I shrugged my shoulders and scoffed at them as I was led in. I was taken to a room and made to wait for Alpha Tristan. It didn't tak
Wayne's POV“Tell me everything you know, which might help out when we attack the pack.” I said eagerly. Freya brightened up, it seemed she had something very useful. “ I have actually tried to escape from the village a few times. But every time I did, I got caught. There were guards on the doorway before, but after realizing I could not actually escape, they now let me be.” She said, “Oh, then you must know how to get in and out of the village.” I said. She nodded in affirmation. “There are few ways to get into the village without being spotted by the guards or anyone. But the one that's the safest and most secretive is the dungeon.” Freya said. Dungeons? I was expecting something more thrilling. “How can a dungeon be the way to get in and out of the village? Are you certain of what you're saying, Freya? Remember, a simple mistake can cost us even our lives.” I said. Freya nodded. “I am sure. The dungeon doesn't lead anywhere if you use the Normal paths. But there is a secre
Arnold's POV Two days after we set out for the Ravens Pack, we finally reached the pack. The guards stopped us at the gate to probably question who we are. “Are we really going to do this again?” I mumbled as I slid the door open. Stan was walking to my carriage when the door opened. He reached the carriage and halted. “ I will take care of this quickly, Your Majesty. You can stay there.” He said. I sighed and sat back down. The door closed and Stan walked away. A few moments later, the carriage finally starts moving again. It moved for a short while and finally halted. I hastily opened the door and alighted from the vehicle. “This way, Your Majesty.” One of the pack's soldiers said to me, I nodded and followed him as we all headed into one of the buildings. We entered the building and were led to a hall with an enormous table and tons of chairs. Some maids emerged swiftly and offered us some chairs. “Finally, I haven't had a proper seat in days.” I murmured as I took my se
Wayne's POV I pushed the door open and the sun ray almost blinded me. As I hoped, the door led outside, and I was finally out of the dungeon. But I could not even tell where I was at first. There were so many trees around that I could barely tell if this was a good idea anymore. “Now, how in the world am I supposed to make my way back to the horse?” I asked myself. I stared around for a while but noticed nothing. After staring around to see if there's anything worth noticing, I sighed and started walking, facing a random direction. There was a small path and I just followed it in silence. After a short while, there didn't seem to be anything ahead yet. I was just walking and shaking tiredly. “How long do I even have to continue walking. It looks like it's been hours!” I exclaimed. I suddenly halted when I heard a voice from a distance. The echoes went silent again, and I couldn't tell what side the voices came from. “I think it was that way. But if it wasn't, that means I
Tristan's POVI reached the Rogue village again. Karl was in the living room when I walked in. “You are back. Did you, by any chance, leave with your Beta? He seemed to have disappeared after you left.” Karl asked. “Wayne? He was in here when I left. Did he leave without your knowledge or something?” I asked. Karl shook his head. “I am certain that he didn't leave yet. The guards at the gate said they didn't see him leave. My thoughts were that he left with you.” He said. I was beginning to get confused. Wayne was in the living room when I left, and he was surely going to leave after I did. “Maybe he left without anyone see him do that. I already asked him to go back to the Blue moon pack. And I don't think there's something to be worried about.” I said. Karl sighed. “I don't understand why, but I just felt it was suspicious. He suddenly came here without being asked for and also left in the same way he came.” He said. I was still so confused, too. “Wait, did he by any Cha
Arnold's POVI went into the building to start searching for Elizabeth. There were few rogue soldiers around, but I easily slayed them. My mind was all focused on finding my mate first. A few minutes into walking in, I spotted Alan in one of the rooms. “Alpha Arnold…” He mumbled as soon as he saw me. I barely have time to fight anyone right now. I'll deal with him after I find her for sure. Surprisingly, Alan wasn't pleased with the fact that I'm walking away from him. “You cannot leave without a fight. I don't think I'll be able to walk out of this anymore. Let's settle this, you either kill me and go on with your journey or I do so and claim my place as the next Lycan King!" He blurted out. I was so confused but at the same time, it explained why he was siding with Tristan in the first place. “So you decided to side with my enemy just so you could become the next Lycan king. That has to be the dumbest decision you've made.” I said and shook my head in disgust. “Call me stupid o
Tristan's POVI attacked Tyler m, attempting to slay him and he quickly blocked my attack skillfully. He blocked my sword and cut my hand, giving it a small scar. “You gave me a scar. I must say you have honed your sword fighting skills since we last had a duel. But you're forgetting something important, I taught you how to use the sword.” I said and attacked him again.Tyler was quick enough to block me again but this time, I took advantage of my strength and pushed him back till he tripped and fell on his back. He was fast to get up again but I didn't let him regain his composure before I reached him and stabbed him with my sword. The sword fell off Tyler's hand and he fell to the ground, groaning in pain. I pulled the sword from him and heaved a sigh of relief. “You chose the wrong side brother. Maybe if you had decided not to help Arnold, maybe you would have loved enough to see another day.” I said with an evil smile on my face“Sadly, this is the end of the road for you.” I
Arnold's POVWe all halted when a figure slowly emerged from one of the buildings. Standing in front of us all was Tristan. He stood still and was just staring at us in silence. “So, you have finally come to die, Arnold?” Tristan said menacingly. I stared at him, with great urge to just tear him to tiny pieces and feed the parts to wild animals. Tristan's facial expression suddenly changed. He seemed to notice something odd amongst us. “Wayne? What is going on here? You should be in the Blue moon pack.” He said feebly. I finally understood why he suddenly felt perplexed. “I could not keep up with the pace of your cruelty, my lord. You left me no choice.” Wayne replied nonchalantly. “So you decided to betray my trust and side with my enemies. After you served me for so long? I knew your sudden appearance here meant something but I was just too ignorant to accept it.” Tristan said and sighed.Wayne didn't know what to say anymore. He turned to me and shrugged his shoulders. “Trista
Arnold's POVThe soldier left immediately and soon returned with the Alpha of the Blue moon pack. A woman who seemed to be his Luna was with him. He reached us and stopped. “You are the Lycan king…” He said, with his voice vividly shaking in fear. Seeing how scared he was, I was confident he wouldn't refuse to hand the boy over. “Yes, I am. I'm here for my son, Amon. Someone left him here with you, and I want you to hand him over to us immediately.” I commanded. The Alpha was quiet for a while and only stared at me. “You want him? I guess you're going to fight us if we refuse to do that, right? And seeing how few your men are, I'll say you're incapable of winning this fight.” He said menacingly. Stan unsheathed his sword immediately and aimed at his neck. A few of the pack's soldiers also did the same, and we all stood there in silence, waiting for the next person to take the decisive step. “Tell your men to lay down their weapons. You are greater in numbers, but that will absolu
Arnold's POVI walked into the living room and took my seat. “So, how is the preparation going? Are we almost Ready to Match up now?” I asked eagerly. “Oh, we are not ready. We are so not ready.” Wayne said angrily. Tyler winked at him to stop acting up, which he reluctantly obliged to. “I assume he already told you that you'll lead us there. Well, no one else can.” I said to Wayne. Wayne smiled at me faintly and stood up to leave. “I will be in my room, preparing for the journey. When you're all ready to leave, I will join you.” He said and left. I turned to Tyler. “Is there anything left to do here? We should set out soon if there's none. The sooner, the better for us.” I said. “There Should be just a few preparations left before we set out. Oscar, are our men ready?” Tyler asked his Beta. “Yes, my lord, They are all ready. But we did have another few down counts, as more of Alpha Arnold's men were also infected. We have just about fifty percent left of their initial numbers.”
Tyler's POVMy jaw dropped in shock, but I quickly composed myself. I Turned to Havana to see her staring at me intensely. “Well, I missed you too, but just couldn't say it.” I thought to myself. Havana drew closer to me slowly, before planting a kiss on my lips. She slowly pulled away from me and stared into my eyes. “I missed you too, Havana.” I said and pulled her closer again. We kissed hungrily as she held me firmly. After a short while, we pulled away from each other to catch our breath. I stood up and held Havana. “We Should head to my room, someone might walk in here at any moment.” I said and started walking away. Havana obliged and walked came with me. We both headed for my quarters immediately. After avoiding the maids and guards around as much as we could, we finally reached my room. I shut the door and heaved a sigh of relief. Turning around, I was spooked when Havana suddenly pulled me closer and kissed me hungrily. She rubbed my chest as our lips parted, “Take of
Arnold's POVI walked back into the room after shutting the door. “I am so famished, it feels like I haven't eaten in months!” I exclaimed and sat down. I soon started eating, and it tasted way better than I expected. After a while, I finished eating and went out to see Tyler. “He Should be somewhere in the Living room or something, your majesty.” The maid I asked Tyler's room for replied. I thanked her and headed to the living room. As she said, Tyler was indeed in the living room, sitting alone. He was so lost in thought that he didn't notice I had come in until I cleared my throat. Tyler looked up and saw me. “Your Majesty, it is quite late already. You should be resting as the journey might have taken a toll on your body.” He blurted out.“You should not be worried about that. What lies further ahead is way more important than mere sleep. As Wayne said, your brother would do anything possible to win this battle.” I said. As soon as I mentioned his brother again, Tyler stopped
*Arnold's POV* Still lost and void of a way out of the situation we were currently in, Things were seemingly going bad. “What I am saying is that, there is absolutely no way I would join this fight if there are not enough men. We should be twice their numbers to be able to have a chance at winning this battle!” Wayne stated. Even though he was right, I just didn't want to accept that he is. There was nothing we could think of now that the battle is at hand. “There's nothing we can do anymore now. Overanalyzing the situation would not result in any solution.” I stated. Wayne stared at me furiously, but he could not just exert his anger fearing getting slayed by Stan. “We have to think of something, Your Majesty. If we go ahead and attack Alpha Tristan without proper preparation, there will be no way out of this.” He said. “I hate to say this, but he's right, Your majesty. My brother would definitely be prepared for whatever way the battle Is coming. Attacking or defending his l
Tristan's POVI reached the Rogue village again. Karl was in the living room when I walked in. “You are back. Did you, by any chance, leave with your Beta? He seemed to have disappeared after you left.” Karl asked. “Wayne? He was in here when I left. Did he leave without your knowledge or something?” I asked. Karl shook his head. “I am certain that he didn't leave yet. The guards at the gate said they didn't see him leave. My thoughts were that he left with you.” He said. I was beginning to get confused.
