**Tristan's POV***It was a miracle that I was able to control my temper until we finally left the palace. While in the car with Stark, I tapped my foot on the floor and in deep thoughts. “Alpha Tristan, you know, I was actually a Scared that you might not be able to hold yourself back and lash out right there.”“That's fucking what I should have done. If only I did that, I'm sure the king would be shocked to know that he had actually been deceived by his very own queen.”“I couldn't agree with you more on that. But then, I want you not to forget that, he might actually know about her past.”“I bet that's not the case. She seemed not to remember the past.”“What? For real?”“To be honest, I still don't understand what this is.”“I bet this is her new tactic. I mean, how can she be so bold to lie about such a thing.”“Alpha Stark, I don't know what's going on, but then, if our plan is to get rid of the
**Tristan's POV***“Aren't you being too shameless as of the moment? I mean, which Alpha goes on his knees simply because he can't afford what he's asked?”“I'm sorry I look like shit, but I just can't keep up with it anymore. I have exhausted every means I know.”“And how's it my business what you have and don't have. Edward, didn't I tell you before we signed the contract that you wouldn't dare complain to me. You promised you'll always pay what you owe without complaining, so what the fuck do you think you're doing now?”“Alpha Tristan, I know exactly what I promised, but things aren't getting better anymore. Why don't you have mercy on me like you used to in the past? Please…”“What? Did you just say, have mercy? Have you forgotten how things were in the past?”“Of course not. But my daughter died here. It's not my fault she died,” Edward bursts into tears. “Oh, I see. So are you trying to blame me that I was the on
**Elizabeth's POV***After Arnold had left for official duty, I couldn't help but recall the guy I had seen on the day of the tournament. I had pretended not to take notice of him, but I could see him from the corner of my eyes that he was watching me with a not so friendly expression. What was the name he called me again? Freya, is it? Yes, that was the name he called. Was it possible that he actually knows me? If so, who was he to me? I had wanted to see him, but he left with Stark. From what Arnold told me, Stark is the Lycan Alpha whom Jasoet and Jason talked about. He was the ruthless Alpha who made them abandon their pack. If that guy could be that close to Alpha Stark, then it's possible that he's not a nice person. I mean, nice people don't make friends with ruthless people because often at times they could get influenced. Let me not even forget the fact that I didn't feel safe with me. When he held me by the hand, I felt like he w
**Tristan's POV***# A Month LaterI paced from one end of my room to the next. This is taking too long and I hate it. I thought I would be able to get her back as soon as possible, but that rather seemed like it was impossible. It's been more than a month ever since I saw Freya and the fact that I still can't get her away from the Lycan king feels like a thorn in my flesh that I wish to get rid of. Immediately I summoned Wayne Within a few minutes, I heard a knock on my office door. “Come in, immediately,” I said as I continued to pace from place to place. “Alpha, you wanted to see me. Is there something you would like to discuss with me?”I looked up at Wayne at once. “You know what? I want you to inform all my loyal Alphas for an emergency meeting.”“Huh? Alpha, what's going on! Why are you suddenly calling for an emergency meeting?”“I can't wait anymore. Every second of waiting feels
**Freya's POV***I woke up in a jolt and began breathing heavily. What was the dream all about? How could I even have such a terrible nightmare? Does this mean something was wrong?I quickly tilted my head to my side only to realize that Arnold was not on the bed with me. I quickly raised my gaze up to look at the time only to discover that it was 5:am. Of course, it was way past the time Arnold wakes up each morning. Still, I wasn't at rest. I sense that there's something wrong. The dream was about him. He was shot by the enemy and I watched him die in my hand. This can't be a simple dream. I have no reason to have such a terrible nightmare. There must be something that's missing. To make things worse, this was my very first nightmare as far as I'm concerned. I quickly hopped out of bed and adjusted my nightwear before walking out of the room. I went straight to his office, where I saw him in front of his computer with his glasses on.
**Freya's POV***“Please help me up,” I managed to mutter. “Okay. Okay,” Katie quickly helped me up while holding on to me tightly. “What's going on?”“I feel pain in my chest, something is wrong somewhere, Katie.”“Yes something's wrong, we are being attacked!”“Huh? By whom?”“That I do not know. Everyone is running helter-skelter. There's chaos everywhere at the moment. I came to get you because I know you're not aware of what's happened.”My heartache only became worse after what I just heard. I quickly seized Katie on the hand with eyes wide open. “Tell me, is it the king they are searching for? Any news about the king?”“Luna, presently, we have no idea what's happening as of the moment. We should run to safety first.”I can't believe my dream has finally come to pass. If I had known it would be this way, I would have insisted for Arnold to stay. I held on to Katie as she struggled to get me out of the room. Just as we opened the food, we came in front of some strange-looki
**Freya's POV**“Arnold is a good king, and I know for a fact that it's the reason he has enemies all over. Besides, I'm sure you're one of his enemies,” I said, eyeing him suspiciously. “And I suppose you think that way simply because you saw me with Alpha Stark, isn't it?”This made me raise a brow at him.“I'm glad you know exactly what I'm talking about.”“Listen, Elizabeth, I'm not going to lie to you about my friendship with Alpha Stark. Not only that, I'm also not going to deny the fact that he actually wanted me to walk with him to make the king abdicate his throne by every means possible.”When he disclosed this truth to me, I was terribly dumbfounded. I didn't know what else to think. From what he said, it didn't seem like he lied about anything. Rather, it sounded like the truth. I mean, if he had wanted to lie to me, he wouldn't bridge up the plans he had with Stark, would he? “Elizabeth, I know for a fact that
**Tristan's POV***The moment I walked out of her room, I heaved a long, deep sigh of relief. Who would have thought that this would be nerve-racking. From the look of things, she indeed lost her memories. Now, I don't know whether this was a good opportunity or not. But either way, it was too much of a stress for me. Just as I headed toward my office, Wayne bracketed me on the way. “Alpha, how did it go? Is she awake? Did you find out whether she's pretending or not?”“Let's head to my office,” I stated, taking the lead to my office. Though I know no one on the pack would dare to spread rumors, still, it's better to be safe. Getting to my office, I began to pace. Thinking about the next step to take.“Alpha, what's the situation like?”I took my gaze towards Wayne. She doesn't remember anything for sure, but that's not the case right now.“Huh?”“I don't know how long I can continue to pretend to be nice
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. 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
