**Stark's POV***It's been two good months now, and I'm yet to set eyes on Arnold. There's not a place I haven't searched but ended up not seeking him. It's impossible for him and his Luna to just disappear like that. There must be something that I'm missing. I had gone to Alan, who happened to be the king's good friend, even though they are now enemies. But getting to Alan and asking him about the king bore no result, as Alan was also as confused as I was about Arnold's disappearance. I've done my research and none of the investigations carried out bore forth good fruit. At this point, there's only one thing I could think of. And that was the fact that Tristan remains the only suspect on my list. His Luna couldn't have just disappeared from the pack as well. According to what I heard from her personal maid who was there when the incident occurred, she seemed to have been abducted. I mean, who could be that daring to kidnap the queen after the king had gone missing. No matter how
**Tristan's POV***When I said the last words, I noticed how Stark's gentle expression automatically turned into that of anger. He covered the space between us and grabbed me by the neck tightly. I didn't move an inch, but rather watched him. I wanted to know what he was capable of. “Don't test me, Tristan. The king is mine, and no one is permitted to hurt him except me. Do you understand!”“Like you ever wanted to hurt him. I know for a fact that you do not plan to hurt him. Tell me if I'm mistaken about this?”“Whatever decision I make with my nephew solely has nothing to do with you. So while I'm being nice, you should release him. Listen, you may have men, Tristan, but never forget that those men you have are ordinary Werewolves. You might just end up sending your allies to their death all because of your selfishness. So, I'll give you one week to think about what you want to do. After one week, I'm expecting your reply, else, do not blame me for whatever decision I'll take fro
**Arnold's POV***I could tell that he was trying to test me with his words. But he should know better than to ask me such stupid questions. I'll never fall prey to his words and actions. I could tell that he's doing all this to get on my nerves, and I'm not going to let him. “Oh, aren't you afraid to die? Well, that will be you helping me, and you know that. Our mate will finally be at peace.”“Haven't you told her that I was dead? What more do you think you can threaten me with?”“If you think Freya would actually believe what I said, then you actually don't know her well. She's not someone who gives up easily. She's someone who fights for what she wants.”That doesn't sound like the Freya I know. The one I know would only cry about my death.”“Let me guess, you're trying to think whether what I said about her was true or not. You just do not know this, but since her late father was the former Alpha of the Ravens pack. Freya was naturally trained to fight and not make decisions on
**Freya's POV***“Argh!”I screamed out and quickly jumped out of my bed and sat up straight, breathing heavily. Not again! Ever since Tristan told me about the death of my mate. I've been having difficulty sleeping without dreaming about him. Occasionally, I dream about the good times we were together. Other times I dream about how he got shot and died in my presence. At this moment, I was terribly confused. Did my mate die or not!No matter what happened to him, I just can't give up on him. I need to free Tyler and go searching for my mate. I needed to know if he truly died or not. While I was terribly worried and thinking of what to do, I suddenly heard a knock on my door. Without being told, I knew it was him. My heart skipped when I glanced at the time from the huge wall clock. It was 6:am, why was he here? Another knock on the door, and I stood up from the bed and rushed over to get the door. The moment the door flew open, he rushed in, falling on top of me. “Tristan, what'
***Tristan's POV***Staring at her lips, I just realized that it's been a long time since I actually had sex. Since she still hasn't gotten her memories back, I'm not going to force her. But then. I'm sex hungry, and I do want to fuck her. In fact, ever since I saw her, it has been ringing in my head to do just that to her. I'm not sure if I'll be able to control myself for that long, or pretend to be okay while I'm around her. Seeing how tensed up she became, I could tell that she already knew what I was about to do. I took that as an opportunity to get down to what I really wanted. I kissed her on the lips and just as I was about to take full access to her lips, she suddenly pulled away at once. “Alpha Tristan, I'm sorry, but I can't do this. I mean, it hasn't been long since I lost my mate and. I'm still very much hurt by his death. It might take me years or even forever to mourn him. This made me fold my hands into a fist. How dare she talk about mourning the bastard forever!
**Tyler's POV***It's been more than a week now since I last heard from Freya. I wonder how she was doing. Ever since she informed me about the death of her mate, I haven't laid eyes on her. I wonder whether she was okay or not.Oscar has been finding it difficult to get to her because according to him, Tristan seemed to have tightened security around her. Now I can't help but wonder if it was because he had found out about our secret meeting, or if it was something else. If it were to be because of our secret meeting, I highly doubt that because I know for a fact that we were careful. There was no way he could have found out about what we were planning. Suddenly, I heard the sound of footsteps coming towards my cell. This made me crease a brow. From the footsteps I heard,one of them seemed to be Tristan, if I'm not mistaken. But why was he here? It can't be what I'm thinking. Shit! It didn't take up to a minute before I saw Tristan standing in front of my cell with an expressionle
***Arnold's POV***I've been running for over a week now with no good, not water. The only reason I'm still alive was my willingness to save my mate. I cannot die, knowing my mate was in danger. I found myself in the deeper part of the woods. I was trying to find the home of Jason and Jasper, but I can't remember why. It's been a little long. I wish there's someone out there who can save me from my predicament. I had done many rogues on my way. Some ran away when they saw me, the others decided to forge ahead, not minding whether they'll die by my hands or not. After walking for a few hours, I decided to take a break as usual. But just as I was about to approach the tree, I felt my eyes turn badly, and before I knew what was happening, I had collapsed on the floor. **Jasper's POV**“Amon, where are you?” I called out in the woods, but he was nowhere to be found. My goodness! This boy gets stubborn with each day that passes. “Jason, do you know where Amon had gone?” I asked behind
**Freya's POV***I was in my room as usual, thinking about my son this time. I wonder how he was faring. I've not seen him for a few years now, and I can't help but wonder what he was up to or if he was ever thinking of me. I wish there was a way for me to be able to go back to my son. Now I long to be reunited with my son, Jasper and Jason. Back then, I seemed to have lost the loving chance or value of the moment while it lasted. And this was because I had no idea about my memories. If only I had known about my memories back then, I would have done all I could to make sure that I don't leave the woods, knowing I'll surely be discovered by Tristan. If only I had known, I could have told Arnold about him, this way he could have prepared for a potential enemy like Tristan who would try to get me back. At the state I was in, I don't know whether I should start blaming myself or not. It wasn't my fault though, still I wished things were different from now. While lost in thoughts, I he
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
