ALEXIS' POVI do not know for how long I kept passing out and waking up again. But whenever I wake up, my eyes are blurry and never entirely adjust to the darkness. Even in my unconscious state, I heard voices of some men and women. One of them was oddly familiar. Sometimes, I am fed food and water. Yet, I cannot remember most of the details because I keep sinking back to the darkness.When I finally open my eyes again, this time the fogginess starts to fade away and I can clearly see the light. As my eyes adjust to the light, I squint my eyes from the banging ache that overclouds my head. My whole body feels weak and exhausted and I frown when I try to move my body, only to notice that I cannot. Again, I try to move my hands and feet but it wouldn't budge. Afraid that I might have gone crippled, I stare down at my body and horror overtakes me as I see that I have been tied down to a chair with strong ropes. Fuck. Am I being kidnapped?Now panicked, I lift my head and my eyes travel
ALEXIS' POV"You are within the territory of the Coral pack, Alexis Micah."Randall.I blink my eyes in shock and disbelief as I stare at him. What in the world is Randall of all people doing here at the Coral pack? The deadliest pack in the entire country!Maybe I had lost a nut in my head from passing out so much and I am going insane. I can not believe the sight before me. What is Randall doing here?"I take it that you two have met before." The man raises a brow that doesn't hold so much surprise. It seems like he already knows so much about Randall and I, and it is like a boring reminisce to him now. "By the way, call me Alpha Crane. For the second time, let me introduce you to my son; Randall. He takes after me, doesn't he?"My lips slightly part as he speaks and my gaze is still fixed to Randall who doesn't break his eyes off me. I try to say a word; any word but my tongue remains glued to my mouth and I cannot utter a single word. Instead, my brain tries to process so much in
DONOVAN'S POVAnother meeting has been called and my presence is needed. Even though I want to pull this off and not be in the presence of neither my parents nor the elders, I know I have no better option than to go if I want to keep myself updated about Alexis' case. A gentle knock comes upon my door and I hesitate and let out a small exhale before striding to the door and pulling it open. A servant is standing before me holding some clothing in her grips. Her eyes flutter as she takes in my shirtless frame and she immediately looks downcast again. On other days, I would smirk at the way my looks drive people insane but this time, I am nonchalant. Nothing excites me anymore and I cannot think of anything else except the thoughts of Alex and her safety."The Luna asked me to bring this to you." She bows and outstretches her hand to me. "She asked that your presence be made in the council within ten minutes."I sigh again before retrieving the clothes from her hand and sending her off
ALEXIS' POVMy eyes flutter and make an effort to keep open and I moan as the pain in my body awakens again. A sudden stinge in my leg causes me to hiss in pain again and I look downcast to see Randall kneeling before me, tending to my wounds. A flashback of the evil he has done rushes through my head and anger takes over me again. I try to withdraw my leg and kick him right across his pretty face but my legs are still tied and I cannot move my legs."Stay still." He cast a quick glance at me and continues to apply solution to my leg. But I still try to pull my legs away so that his filthy hands would not touch me. "Get away from me!" I yell at him and he looks directly into my eyes this time. This time, he looks a bit like the Randall I knew from Redwood. Not the one I met in Coral pack. "Alex…" He tries to touch me but I keep flinching away."Stay away from me, you monster!" I yell at him again. "You have to listen to me…""Why should I listen to you?" Tears of betrayal roll down
ALEXIS' POVI have lost track of how many days I have been kept in this room. Fortunately, I am not tied up anymore but there is a long thread of chain that is not tied to my ankle to stop me from walking far away from the room. I don't know what they are worried about when the door is always locked and the window is as high as a tower's. Randall had left some clothes for me to change into and only comes once in a while to bring me food and water. Sometimes, Rachel comes and makes mockery of me. Other times, the servants bring my food without uttering a single word to me. I haven't seen Randall's father since the first day. During the day, I think about Donovan and grandma Rivera and I worry about how they are doing. At night, I have dreams of Donovan and sometimes, of grandma Rivera. Most of these dreams were always nightmares of the coronation ceremony and Vera disclosing my identity to everyone. Sometimes, I had nightmares of being caught when I tried to escape the guards and Ver
ALEXIS' POVAfter Elena unchains my ankle, I follow her to the dining room and the sight of Alpha Crane, Randall and Rachel greets me. They are seated around the dining table, the table top assorted with every kind of food. I hope that they choke on their food and die. As Randall's eyes and mine meet, I glare at him with pure hate and he looks away again. Wait till Donovan lays his hands on them. They will be dead meat."Come on, Luna. Join us." Alpha Crane fakes a welcoming tone that drops sarcastic hints. Warning myself to keep my emotions in check and cooperate with them if I want to stay alive by the time Donovan comes to get me, I exhale deeply and walk over to them. Randall gets up and pulls a seat for me. I eye him terribly again, disgusted by his act before taking my seat at the table nevertheless."Tell me…" The Alpha says to me as the servants prepare my food on the dishes before me. "Are you enjoying your stay here?"I keep mute and bite my tongue back from answering him.
ALEXIS' POV"She is with child. It's two weeks gone." I hear a man's faint voice as I slowly awaken back to reality. I peel my eyes slowly open to see a physician speaking to Randall who looks nervous and worried. I don't want to be so quick to jump into the conclusion that he is worried about me. If he was truly worried about me, he could have done something to save Elena back there. Anything at all to save her from his devil father.Once again, the image of Elena being executed right before my eyes causes a stir of emotions inside my heart. I feel so much guilt for being the cause of my death and tears cloud my vision. "What do you mean she is with child? How can she be pregnant?" Randall asks the man and I shut my eyes and force myself from crying. I cannot be pregnant. This is not the right time to be pregnant."She is carrying a two weeks pregnancy, my Lord. The stress could hurt the child." The physician repeats himself to Randall and Randall turns his head to look at me at th
DONOVAN'S POVI race with the soldiers into the woods and as they shift into their human forms, ready to attack me, I shift back to my human form too and deal them with heavy blows before they could sneak up on me. By the time the training is over, they are all sprawled across the ground, groaning in pain. I shut my eyes and try to catch my breath before lending the boys my hands and helping get up their feet again. "Come on, Donovan." Lewis is one of the guys who I have beaten to the ground and he whines and rubs the spot where his body aches. "What's going on in your mind? You've been pretty harsh on us these days."I ignore him and walk out of the woods and back to the castle again. Lewis wasn't wrong. I have had so much in my mind and wouldn't lie that I had been taking it out on others these past days. It has been three whole weeks and yet, there has been no sighting of Alexis or any white wolf straying off. I have personally searched for her everywhere, including all her frien
VERA'S POVFor years, I have kept watch over him. I have nurtured him and treated him. Even though he didn't stir, I did not give up yet. This is not his end. He is not destined to die this way.It has been six years now and I have kept his body from decaying. No one knows he is in my possession either and I do not intend to disclose to anyone that I have him with me…yet. Today, after I return from the castle where the Alpha and Luna's daughter; Abbey, just celebrated her one year birthday, I head straight to my cavern to be greeted by the greatest surprise of my life.He is standing by the mouth of the cavern, looking lost and forlorn. He stares at me as I take a step closer to him and he moves a few steps away again when he sees that I have gotten closer to him."Who…are you and what am I doing here?" He asks, staring suspiciously at me. "Can you remember your name?" I ignore his question and ask him mine instead. At first, he looks dazed by my question and keeps looking at me as
ALEXIS' POVFIVE YEARS LATERI sit in the garden, watching from a distance as Randall plays with the butterflies, jumping and throwing himself to the grass excitedly. His pure white furs gleam beautifully under the sunlight. As I watch him play, I rub a hand softly over the large bulge on my belly. I am in my third trimester of pregnancy and I am more than eager to see the second product of me and Donovan's love. With my eyes still on my son playing in the field, I get a flashback of Randall and I smile at his memory. The loyal friend who had lost his life trying to protect his best friend. Trying to protect the girl he loved and who never reciprocated his affection. Sometimes, I hate that life was unfair to him and he had gotten what he did not deserve. Other times like now, I imagine him enjoying eternal bliss in paradise like he deserves. At least, he never has to experience the chaos of this world ever again. Donovan and I had chosen to name our son after him to honor him and pre
ALEXIS' POV"With the power vested on us by the mercy of the gods, we hereby declare and crown Donovan Alken and Alexis Micah as Alpha and Luna of Redwood pack and lycan rulers of Wolfville."Donovan takes my hand gently as we bow together and the crowns are finally placed on our heads. The crowd goes crazy, whistling and applauding and we straighten our frame again. There is a big smile on my face as I watch everyone celebrate the coronation of Donovan and I. Donovan gently brings me closer to his body and plants a small kiss on my lips. The crowd goes wild again and I laugh and blush at the same time. I wrap my arms around him in a hug, trying my best not to shed tears of joy. If anyone had told me this day would be mine again, I would have called them a liar. But I guess the gods always have their own plans. One of which is my fate to become Donovan's Luna and rule beside him forever. "Congratulations, my queen." Luna Genevieve walks up to me, a broad congratulatory smile on her
ALEXIS' POVMy eyes flicker open as I awake and my eyes observe my surroundings as soon as my eyes are properly opened. The room is large and looks familiar with the physician's ward at Redwood castle. I do not get up and instead, I remain in my lying position on the bed. I do not even think about where I am or how I got here. My mind is completely blank save for the image of a dead Donovan replaying over and over again in my head. I feel dead and emotionless without Donovan by my side. If life was a fairytale story and I had one wish, I would wish that life gives us a second chance and my mate be brought back to me alive. The door gently creaks open and a pair of footsteps walk into the room. I lift my eyes uninteresting to catch a glimpse of whoever is walking in and my entire being pauses as Donovan's face smiles back me. He is dressed in his regalia and he has a small tray of tea and herbs in his grips. His messy hair is styled in a different style, slightly wavy and breathtakin
ALEXIS' POVThe war stops and everyone pauses as they see me walk out of the castle, carrying Donovan and Randall's body on my back. The white mares of my wolf form are smeared with their blood but I did not care. There is nothing I care about anymore. I get on my knees and drop their bodies gently beside me on the ground before shifting back to my human form. The men remain in stiled silence at the sight before them. "Brother! Brother!" Rachel screams in horror and hurries to her brother's body, flinging herself to the ground beside him. She takes his lifeless body into her arm and shakes him vigorously in a lame attempt to wake him up."Randall! Randall, please wake up!" She begins to cry now. I only watch her do so. I cannot cry anymore. I cannot feel anymore. I am too broken, too dead inside to show any emotions anymore. In fact, I feel so empty and dead inside that I could pass on for a walking dead. I died the very moment Donovan died too. "What did they do to you?! What hav
ALEXIS' POVVera is one person who keeps coming up with a lot of surprises everyday. Her air of mystique and creepy personality and the fact that she is hundreds of years old in such a youthful body. Not to forget that she is the one whom the gods had allegedly revealed the prophecy of the white wolf to. And now, it amazes me to find out that she is a healer wolf too. How much cooler can a person be?"For how long have you been pregnant?" She asks me as she tends to my almost fading wound. The crazy pain I had felt on my shoulder is no longer there. Only a tad little bit of the pain is left, all thanks to Vera. Even the wound is barely even there anymore. "Almost a month now." I answer her, refusing to meet with her piercing creepy blue eyes."Were you a maiden when the Alpha marked you?"Her question causes me to get a little uncomfortable and I shift a little. "Yes." I answer regardless. "Then, the child must be his." She says in a quieter tone, more to herself than to me. "I am
DONOVAN'S POVEverywhere is in chaos as the war goes on. Everyone is shifting from man to wolf form and back to human form again. There is bloodshed everywhere. This is what Alpha Crane wants and it is exactly what he is getting. While I fight with my armies against the Corals, I keep my eyes down for the Alpha and his betrayal children but I do not sight any of them. Seeing the way some of the guards are preventing us from venturing into the castle, I conclude that the family of the Alpha are hiding inside the castle.Those fucking cowards. "Aim for the castle!" I howl to my army and they howl back in response. The war continues and as we fight and struggle to find our way into the interiors of the castle my thoughts keep drifting back to Alexis and my heart boils even more in rage at the fact that Alpha Crane had tried to kill her right before my eyes. I will make sure he pays for hurting her. Now, I shift back to my human form and pick a sword from the ground, running behind my
DONOVAN'S POV"Do you think it's wiser to go in now and attack when they are unguarded or would you rather we keep waiting till they're alerted?" Vera asks. She is standing behind me, as tall and elegant as always and with a sword held in her hand. I glance at our troop. Our armies of wolves are gathered beside us, waiting eagerly for my command to attack. Looking back at Vera again, I wonder for the hundredth time why she had agreed to come with me to this rebellious quest, knowing fully well that I could die and my father would kill her for letting that happen. She notices my stare and looks at me with a raised brow."I have mentioned this many times since yesterday but I am going to go ahead and mention this again. I am not doing this for your mate, dear Alpha. I know that you are hard headed and would go ahead to get her yourself anyway. I wouldn't sit back and let you kill yourself. The least I can do is protect your stubborn ass."A small smile subconsciously plays on my lips
ALEXIS' POVI am drowning deep into the water, holding my hands out for someone to help me. Anyone. I sink deeper and deeper and just as my eyes are beginning to shut close, he reaches for my hand and starts to pull me away again. I look into my savior's eyes and his gaze holds mine.Donovan.………My eyes slowly flutter open as I regain consciousness. I am lying on the bare floors of my room and my head aches badly as I try to raise my head from the ground. A flashback of last night rushes through my head and I panic at the thought of Randall being caught trying to help me. Where is he? What if they have done something to him? My panic skyrockets but I console myself again and I remind myself that Randall is the Alpha's son. He wouldn't be so malicious and cruel enough to kill his own son. It is myself that I should be worried about. I doubt that I would be able to get out of this situation alive this time around. I decide to take the risk and try to escape one last time. I might get
