**Tyler POV***“What? He wants you too?” Tyler asked, wide-eyed. He had come to see me after the message I had sent to him. “Tyler, what do I do? I'm scared.”“Freya, you have nothing to worry about. Trust me, I won't let him have his way. He wants you and Amon, this is like him declaring war upon the Lycan king and me.”“Tyler, I don't want you to get involved. You can lend us your help, but not fight your brother.”“My brother? That doesn't seem right. Tristan isn't my brother anymore. He had a good sense of reasoning. Matter of fact, he lost it since the moment he decided to make you pay for what your father did. And I blame myself for making that possible for him.”“Tyler, this isn't a time for you to blame yourself. You did absolutely nothing wrong.”“I know you're going to say this, but that doesn't change the fact that all of this is happening all because of me. If I had known things would turn out this way, I would have investigated how to help the situation before or got th
**Tristan's POV***“Alpha, what do you think is taking them so long?” Wayne asked. At this point, I folded my hands into a fist. I don't understand what is happening either. Do they both value Amon? Hold on a minute, did they actually think that I'll do nothing because he's my son? “You know what, Wayne? I think they are actually thinking that I can't do more than that.”“What do you mean, Alpha?”“They are testing my patience. They are trying to find out what I can do and cannot do.”“I don't think I understand anything about what you're talking about, Alpha. What do you actually mean?”“The boy. He's their weakness, and they dare to test me? They dare to go silent on me? Wayne, I think it's time I put him into perfect use.”“Hold on a minute, Alpha. It can't be that you're saying you want to use your son to get them. How do you plan to do that?”“How about I make him bleed?” I asked with a curved smile.“What? Alpha, it's your son we are talking about. You can't just do those thin
**Wayne's POV**When the Alpha called me through the mind link to get him a bowl, I quickly rushed over to him with the bowl, wondering what he had done. Getting into his room, I was shocked to see Amon bleeding on his finger with a sad expression. This made me freeze all at once. I couldn't believe what I was seeing with my own eyes. “Why the fuck are you standing there. Get me the bowl immediately!” Tristan lashed out, which immediately snapped me off my wandering thoughts. “I'm so sorry, Alpha,” I gave him the bowl, which he took immediately. He put Amon's hand in the bowl until he had drawn enough blood he needed. Now I don't even know what to feel anymore. I just feel bad for the kid. I had no idea Tristan would go through the extent of hurting his son just to get Freya. “Now kid, I'm about to do something that will bring your mom here as quickly as possible,” Tristan said with a smirk. I don't know if I should feel pity for him as a child. He's not acting like the Alpha
***Wayne's POV***"It's about the little boy I heard belongs to Alpha Tristan. I know this doesn't concern me, but the fact that my mate is involved made it impossible for me to turn my eyes away. My heart skipped when she said this. “Wayne, just what is going on with Alpha Tristan. I know he's powerful, but I didn't ever picture him as someone. Who's cruel? But now, I don't know if I still see him that way.”“Uhm, about this… That's why I was actually here.”My sister stared at me. I could tell that she's interested to hear what I was trying to say. “Tell me, what is this all about?”“Uhm, the thing is, the child…" I trailed and swallowed hard. I have been worried that I might not be able to say what was on my mind.“Wayne, what's wrong? Why do you find it difficult to say what's on your mind?”“Sister, I don't know how to say this, it's quite difficult to say.”“Huh? What actually happened?”She asked with a raised brow. “Well, the thing is …it's about the child. I'm afraid that
***Freya's POV***After reading the letter, I staggered backwards and almost collapsed on the fall. The letter fell off my trembling hands and I slowly fell to my knees, hot tears dripping out of my eyes at the moment. This is unreal. This is also another kind of nightmare. This can't be real. But I know better than to deny the situation. It is obvious that my child is in danger. I began to sob badly and at the same time, I placed my hands on my lips to prevent me from screaming out loud. This is the worst Tristan had done to me. Could it be that he is planning to kill my son just in case I don't show up? I mean, from the letter I had just read, that seed to be the case. Why is all of this happening to me, for goodness’ sake! I folded my hands into a fist, just thinking about what a monster Tristan was? This won't do. I immediately stood up from the ground and wiped my tears. This is not the time to feel bad. I need to do something. Arnold probably hid the letter from me, knowing
***Freya POV***“What? Tristan actually did that to his son?”Havana began to pace from side to side, just like I did earlier. “I should have known that he was that despicable! I mean, after what he did to those maids, I thought he would treat his child with his with you better. Who would have thought that Tristan was a real monster? No, being a monster is a beautiful word. He's worse than any monster I know. How could he be so cruel!”I watched Havana vent out in anger while I watched her speechlessly. Yes, I was speechless because I only have one thing in mind, and it is for this reason I actually sent for Havana. She's the only one who can help me with this. “Havana, please come sit down. There's something I would really like to talk to you about.”“Oh, okay. I'm all ears. I'll listen to you as much as you want me to,” she said, walking over to my bed to sit down beside me. I took a deep breath with my eyes closed. I know that what I'm trying to say presently is going to freak H
**Arnold's POV***Getting to the room, I stood by the door, wondering how I'm going to pretend like everything was okay when there's actually a lot going on. I took a deep breath and turned the door knob open. Walking into the room, I found Elizabeth, sleeping with her back turned against me. I noticed how slow her breathing was, which indicates that she's sleeping. Thank goodness! Before she finds out what's going on, I need to find a solution right now. That's the only way out in this situation. I walked over to the bed and laid next to Elizabeth. I slowly wrapped my hands around her and inhaled her rosy scent. I love her so much and I am willing to do everything within my powers to make sure that she's safe. I'm not going to let anyone or any harm come to her. Just then, she stirred in her sleep. She turned around towards me and wrapped her hands around me. I looked down at her and noticed that she was still very much sleeping. That's such a relief. “My love, I know you must
**Arnold's POV***I woke up to the brightness of the room. The sun was literally shining in the room. My goodness, I can't believe I slept that long. But then…the memories of last night are flooding into my head. With such a passionate night, how was I supposed to wake up that early? A smile spread across my face when I thought about my mate. I turned around so I could kiss her that morning but was shocked to find the bed empty. “Elizabeth?” I called with my gaze towards the bathroom door, but I got no response. Where had she gone to? There's no way she wouldn't reply to me if she was in the bathroom. Just then, I took notice of the fact that I didn't actually perceive her scent that strongly. And that only meant one thing: Elizabeth had left the room for more than an hour now. Immediately I sat up straight on the bed. This is strange. Where could she have gone for more than an hour now? The only thing I want to believe she did was go prepare breakfast. Not that I was so sure ab
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
