**Tristan's POV***While I was attending the meeting which I had come for, my phone suddenly buzzed. On a normal note, no one dared to call me at this time, knowing km on a business trip. I quickly took out my phone from my suit pockets to see who it was and to my greatest surprise, it was a text from no one else but Wayne. Why would Wayne text me, knowing I'm busy? Though I asked him not to call my attention while I'm at a meeting. I told him that he could only reach out to me when it's an emergency. I quickly clicked on the message and read through it. “Alpha, your attention is needed in the pack. Your mate has escaped!”That was the only thing that got me on red alert. Immediately, I stood you from the meeting gathering. Everyone gathered immediately took their gaze towards me, confused. “Alpha Tristan, is there something wrong?”One of my business colleagues asked. I simply smiled at him.“I'm sorry for causing a distraction to you all. But I don't think I'll be able to sta
**Freya's POV***We were able to run for a few hours until I became breathless and felt like passing out. As much as I want to run for my safety, I can't help the feeling that I might just die in the process of trying to escape. “Freya, are you okay? Do you need to rest?”Tyler asked. “Yes, I need to rest, but I'm scared,” I said with tears in my eyes. Tyler paused and looked around. “You've lost strength earlier, and it's a miracle that you're still able to run thus far. Let's find a place for resting and probably get something to eat,” Tyler pulled me with him to rest under another tree. “I have to get you something to eat,” he said, taking his hands away from mine. Immediately, I grabbed his hand. “Freya, what's wrong?”“Please don't leave me here alone,” I said while looking around the place. We are in the middle of nowhere and the last thing I want presently is him leaving me behind.“Fre
***Freya's POV***“No, please wait!”I screamed out so they'll let me go, but that seemed to be the greatest mistake I've ever made. They both grabbed me by the hand and prepared to drag me all the way to the pack. “No, please. Don't take me back there, I'm begging you,” I cried out. “Let her go this instant!”The sharp familiar voice immediately made me turn around and to my surprise, it was Tyler. He was carrying a little bag which I perceived was filled with fruits. “Beta Tyler. So, you were actually with her? How could you do this? Is she worth you being at odds with your brother?”“And do you think it's right for an Alpha to do the things he's doing?”“He's the Alpha!”“Yes, he's the Alpha, and you forget that watching him torture the innocent is threatening for pack members? As his assistant, is all you do ass lick after him?”“How dare you say that to me, Tyler?”Wayne asked with an angry expression. "If my mere words could get you angry, then I wonder how you were coping w
**Alpha Arnold***“Your Majesty, what do we do? The enemies seem to be growing each day. I mean, Alan is now one of your enemies.”“What? Even Alan?”I asked, wide-eyed. “I'm afraid so, Your Alpha highness,” Stan said with a bow. “Bastard! How could he partner with my enemies? Just how much was he offered?”“You know he's a man who holds treasures dear, he probably must have been bribed by the same treasure.”I shook my head with annoyance boiling inside of me. Even my only friend had turned against me. What is the use of being the Alpha King when I was gradually losing my allies?”“You know what, Stan, I want you to call for an emergency meeting, as soon as possible!”“An emergency meeting? What do you plan to discuss with the elders?”“You'll find out soon. Now stop asking questions and do exactly as I've told you to.”“Alright, Your Majesty,” Stan immediately exited my office. I stared out of the window while hitting my foot on the floor. I've never known peace, ever since I too
**Freya's POV***I woke up in a jolt while breathing heavily. I looked around me only to find myself in an unknown place. I try to recall where I was, but nothing comes to mind. Where's this place? How come I'm in a place like this? I questioned myself in my thoughts, but I felt like there's something wrong with me and that is the fact that I can't remember anything. “She's awake, Jason!”I heard a man's voice scream out. I quickly looked at my side where I saw two men rush into the room with eyes wide open. “She's truly awake!” This other screamed out happily.I creased my brow, in a total confused state. I wish I had an idea about what's going on as of the moment. “Uhm, excuse me. Who are you and what am I doing here?”I asked. They both took quick glances at one another and smiled. Both men don't look that old to me, but then, they have long beards that almost made it impossible for me to see their faces clearly. They both slowly walked towards me but stopped a few distances aw
**Freya's POV***It's been a week ever since I lived with the hermits. I still find it difficult to adjust to the new environment I had just found myself in. I still find it challenging to understand how I came about fall from the cliff. Furthermore, I looked up at the cliff which I had fallen from like I did for the past three days now. No matter how much I look at the cliff, I just can't recall what must have happened to me for me to fall down a cliff. This area is terribly remote. The only things I could see were mountains and cliffs. According to Jasper and Jason, this was the safest place for them to be. They had tried to convince me to live with them, but I'm still very much confused. I still wish to know what exactly happened to me that I was found under a cliff. I wonder if what happened must have been an accident. Maybe there are family members searching for me. But then, I still can't shake off the fact that what, I thought,
**Freya's POV*****Three years later***“Amon, be careful now. Don't play with rocks.”Amon looked at me and smiled, but that didn't stop him from what he was so hell-bent on doing. “Amon why won't you listen to mummy. You're going to hurt yourself,” I scolded, hoping he would stop, but Amon was a hard-headed child and I just don't know where he got his stubbornness from, but I know it definitely isn't from me. I don't see myself as someone who's hard-headed so it's absolutely not from me. “Let the boy be, Elizabeth. You know Anon loves to explore. I can tell that when he gets older, he would like to go out and see the world. By then I can only hope that it will be safe,” Jasper said. “I also hope and pray that it will be so by then. But for now, I just do not want to indulge. I can assure you that you don't have any idea what Amon is capable of. Though he's just two years old, he could very much run around searching for things he wants.”“Doesn't that mean that he's a smart kid? I
**Freya's POV**"While I was battling with my feet to run, I suddenly caught sight of someone running while holding on to his chest. From what I could see, it was a man with slightly long dark hair which rested on his shoulders. He was wearing a white shirt and pants. He was limping and looking behind him, while panting at the same time. Wait a minute, it can't be that it was this guy's pants I had heard earlier. The more he got closer, the clearer I saw what he looked like. As my gaze came downwards to his chest area, I discovered that he was bleeding. This made my heart skip in fright. My goodness! What the hell happened to him, and why was he bleeding so bad. I expected him to run ahead, but he suddenly diverted towards my direction. Instantly, my heart sank. The thought of him coming towards my direction got me in a panic. But looking at him more closely, I could tell that he was tired. At the rate at which he was bleeding, it was obvious that he had lost his strength. Just
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
