*Stan's POV*I was shocked he was willing to join me so quickly. “If you are really down for that, you'll have to wait until I return.” “Return? Wait, you're not one of the soldiers here!” He exclaimed. I nodded in affirmation. His face expressed how shocked he was to hear I was actually an infiltrator. “When are you going to return?” He asked. Despite now knowing a good way to attack the pack, I haven't thought of when the attack will commence. They are still expecting a spy, but that should be good since it's two days away. “We should be back in approximately a week's time.” I stated. He sighed, looking disappointed that it was going to take that long. A man suddenly emerged and stopped in front of us. “What were you talking about when you said you'll come back in a week's time?” He asked. “ It's nothing. I will return to my post now.” I said and turned to leave. He stopped me by pulling the helmet I wore, revealing my face. He stared at me closely for a while before gasping.
*Arnold's POV*Almost a week had passed since Stan left for Tristan's pack. We were waiting hopefully for his return. I was in my chambers resting when I heard some noises outside. “Is he back already?” I mumbled and quickly stood up to check what was going on.Reaching outside, I heaved a sigh of relief to see Stan alighting from a horse. He walked to me and bowed. “You are back. I'm so glad you are okay. Come to the hall when you've rested enough.” I said. Stan bowed again and left for his room. My ministers all gathered after I sent them messages to come to the palace immediately. We all sat in the hall, patiently waiting for him to emerge and tell us everything that happened in Tristan's kingdom. After a while, Stan finally walked in. He bowed his head slightly. “I apologize for keeping you waiting, your majesty. There were things I needed to attend to fast.” He stated. “Tell us what happened quickly. That is why we're here.” one of the Alphas said eagerly. Stan turned to me
*Tristan's POV*Days had passed, and we were still waiting for the spy that was said to be coming. No one seemed to be coming, and we finally shunned it as false information. Today, I was in my room resting when my Beta, Wayne, walked in. “My lord, We have confirmed that it was false information.” Wayne stated. I sighed. “I know. They must have tried to distract us, as they had already sent spies here to cause a ruckus.” I stated. Wayne nodded. “We Should be careful from now on. Two spies escaped from us, and they are probably working with our enemies. I don't know when, but I'm sure they'll be planning to attack soon.” Wayne stated. He was right. Seeing that two spies had finally managed to escape from us, I had to prepare for whatever or whoever was coming. “I will address the men tomorrow. They should start preparing for a battle immediately. And we will also change our way of protection here. The Guards will work at night, mostly from tomorrow.” I said. Wayne's thought about
*Arnold's POV*Tristan was still moving around and sneakingly tearing me up. I was turning around over again, trying to figure what part he would emerge from next.It was getting tiring now, and Tristan was still lurking around in the shadows. “If it continues like this, he will wear me down and that will be the end for me.” I said to myself. He wasn't planning on slowing down, and my strength was slowly deteriorating. I needed to do something quickly before he gained the upper hand. I stared at one of the trees and suddenly climbed as fast as I could. Tristan's footsteps halted too, I finally understood how he was attacking without me seeing him. “I know how you're attacking me now. Quit jumping around taking advantage of the shadows and face me like a man instead!” I yelled. No response came from Tristan. He suddenly jumped from a tree's branch and pulled me with him. We both fell to the ground with a great thud that shook the Earth. Tristan wrapped his hands around my neck and
*Freya's POV*Arnold and his men had woken up quickly the next day and were all ready to leave. I spent the whole night trying to convince Havana to come with me to Arnold's pack. The Ravens pack was not the same as it was anymore. Tristan had completely left the pack, barely holding on to existence anymore. If Arnold had stayed back any longer, it would have been too late to save the Pack. Havana agreed to come with me, and I was delighted she agreed. All that is left is to find Tyler wherever he is in the pack. Arnold and his men were ready to leave, but I snuck away with Havana to find Tyler. “We Should check the dungeons. Alpha Tristan never allows anyone in the dungeon. That must be where he locked his brother.” Havana suggested. I nodded in agreement. “That must be where he is truly. Let's go now.” I said and led the way to the dungeon. Reaching the dungeon, we met the door left wide open. The dungeon was very dark as we walked in. Havana gulped and held me tightly as we wa
*Tyler's POV*I woke up on a bed I wasn't familiar with. I could sense people around but was too tired to check who it was. After mustering all the strength in me, I turned sideways to see Freya and Havana. They noticed I was awake and smiled broadly. “What happened? Why am I here?” I asked confused. The last thing I remember was lying in my brother's dungeon.A man walked in and Freya Introduced him as her mate. I was so shocked when Freya revealed that my brother had been defeated by him too. She offered to take me with her to his pack, but I refused. I couldn't just leave the ravens pack the way my brother did. Everything needs attention if the pack is to be revived. After I had managed to convince Them, they left the Raven's pack and headed home. I was left alone to heal up again.The next day, I was feeling much better now and could move around a bit. Everything that had happened isn't too clear to me, and I had to see for myself. I left the infirmary and went outside. The b
*Wayne's POV*As soon as I noticed that Alpha Tristan had been overpowered by the enemies, I went back into the buildings to grab whatever I could before leaving the pack. I snuck away from the battle and went into hiding near the forest. They seemed to be searching around for other soldiers after they'd won the fight.There was a hut in the forest, so I hid in it until very early the next day. “There is no reason to return to the pack now. I have to head somewhere else and start a new life.” I said To myself and headed into the forest. It was the only way to a different kingdom I could use. If I had thought of using the actual roads, it would be suicidal as I have to go through the pack first. I walked through the forest in silence. It was still very early and the only sounds I could hear were the noise of the birds chirping. After walking for a short while, I reached a tree that looked like it was struck by lightning. There were a few pieces of tree lying around. I then spotted
“Freya's POV”The long and very exhausting journey finally came to an end, and we reached Arnold's pack. The journey took almost three days as the Tired soldiers slowed Things down. Many of them were injured and some even were carried on stretches. Everyone was so relieved when we got back home. “Take the wounded soldiers to the infirmary and have them attended to immediately.” Arnold stated. The men were taken away immediately. Stan walked to Havana and me. “I will show you to your room now. You should rest, too.” He said. We both alighted from the horse and followed him into the chambers. We reached a room and were shown in. Waking into the room, I heaved a sigh of relief to see it was spacious and well-designed. The horrible memories of my time at the Raven pack could finally disappear. “Havana, do you want to take a bath now?” I asked. Havana nodded in affirmation, smiling so broadly. She looked way happier than I was at the
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
