ASHER'S POVI lay my back down on my arm chair, swirling it a bit as a sigh escaped my lips. My enter table was covered in paperwork, and I had been working on them for hours on end, without any breaks. I couldn't even remember the last time I had gotten proper rest.Just like that, three months had flown by like the wind, and a lot of things had changed.Our father had been hospitalised two months ago, and that was the beginning of our reign. My brothers and I officially took over the wolf pack, and we became the alphas. Since we had become the Alphas of the pack, we had assumed that finding Suzie would be light work, so we began trying.To our surprise, we could not find her, not even a single trace. It was like Suzie was purposely being hidden from us. We found out eventually that we did not possess enough power, and influence around the wolf world to gain enough connections that could help us search for Suzie faster and easier.That was when we set a goal.Our goal was to build ou
FELIX'S POVThe smell of herbs and medicine filled the air as I sat at the waiting area with my brothers. The pack hospital was a place I detested being in, not only because of the unbearable smell, but also because of the kinds of people that littered the facility.It was a place filled with grief and sadness. I would not have been here if not that my father had sent word that he wanted to see us. I sighed, running my hands through my hair as I was getting impatient each passing second. I tapped my foot on the floor rapidly, as I tried my best to wait patiently.After a few excruciating minutes of waiting, a nurse walked up to us with a wide, courteous smile on her lips."Alpha Cole has finished receiving treatment for today, so you are free to go see him. He is on the fourth floor, in room 6.""Thank you," Asher said as he rose up from his chair.We followed suit and we all walked up to the elevator. After slipping in, the iron doors in front of us. The numbers clicked one by one, u
SUZIE'S POVI rolled to my side, my heart ramming in my chest as I could barely focus. My mind was on the news Sylvia had delivered to me. I was going for a banquet? I was in utter disbelief. The one thing that gave me more anxiety was the fact that the quadruplets were going to be present.How was I going to face them?I had to pry more information from Sylvia because I was puzzled on why they needed to attend the banquet. Apparently the four brothers had single handedly create a name for themselves and the pack, and they became so powerful, everyone knew that name in the whole wolf kingdom.I was in utter shock on how they were able to achieve all of that, but a part of me was happy for them. Another part of me could not just face them. How was I going to attend the banquet if I kept acting like this?I rolled around on the bed and laid down on my back as a long sigh escaped my lips. My mind was muddled with thoughts of the quadruplets and each thought made my anxiety rise."Su!"Th
SUZIE'S POV"Su!"The loud, high pitched voice jerked me back to reality. I blinked, focusing my gaze and realising that I was staring at a plate filled with blueberry cheesecake. I looked up and saw Sylvia, giving me a puzzled, but also slightly worried look.Beside her was Edward, who had a look of puzzlement on his face. In front of them were pastries and smoothies. It immediately clicked, and I remembered where I was. Sylvia had thought it would be a good idea for us to go out to a cafe, to clear my mind off things, and Edward offered to tag along.I had no choice but to go along with her whims, in hopes that it would help me clear my mind, but it did not. Edward sighed and folded his arms."Are you still thinking about it? The poster?"I nodded with a grim look crossing my face. The poster was still very vivid in my mind and I could not shake how uneasy and anxious it made me feel. This means that I was wanted within the whole werewolf
SUZIE'S POV"Please, lift your arms up a bit,"one of the maids beside me said.I lifted my arm and felt the measuring tape on my arm. Another maid beside me was measuring my waist, and another had the tape straight on my thighs, down to my ankles. My whole body was stiff and I could feel perspiration drip down my face.How did I get into this situation?I had agreed to attend the banquet and that made the kind and queen absolutely delighted. I had never attended a banquet, so I didn't know what the proper attire would be, so I decided to ask Sylvia for help.Since she was well versed in fashion, she was more than happy to aid me in getting clothes to wear for the banquet. On the day we had selected to go shopping, a royal guard has appeared at my doorstep and given me an invitation to the palace.I was in utter shock when I was taken to the palace and put in front of the king and queen. They offered immediately to make arrangement for
SUZIE'S POVThe sound of birds chirping fluttered into the dimly lit room along with the warm morning sunlight. The curtain swayed slowly, the soft fabric scraping the wooden floor softly. I had woken up a few hours earlier, but I could not bring myself to leave the bed.Today was the day of reckoning, the day of the banquet.Preparations had been made, I had agreed to attend the banquet, but I had gotten cold feet at the final moments. I could not stand the thought of seeing my old lovers, regardless of the fact that the queen fervently promised that I would be protected. I just could not.I sighed, hugging myself tightly as I curled up into a ball. I had steeled my mind; I would not attend this banquet, no matter what. The birds went on with their incessant noises and it was soon overwhelmed by the sound of knocking.I slowly turned to my door, my heart ramming in my chest. Have they come for me? I had not informed the queen and king that I had c
SUZIE'S POVThe eyes that were fixed on me were dark and lifeless. They were void of life and has a cold tint to it. One, two, three, four, five....I counted all the barbaric warriors in front of me. The warrior that held the queen let her go and the queen came tumbling to the floor.I looked down and saw the king, holding her in his arms.The warrior snickered, jeering at me like I was some kind of joke. I could not blame them. My attire did not show my level of skill. I walked further into the forest, standing right in front of them. They all looked at each other, making snarky remarks."Hey lass, you should not be here, leave now before we cut your throat,"One of them laughed."Or we could make good use of her,"Another said as he eyed me from head to toe.My stomach churned how he looked at me with such a disgusting gaze. I reached for the leather strap on my thigh, and pulled out a small knife I had always kept for cases wher
SUZIE'S POVHad someone slapped me right across the cheek? Because that was the best way to describe how I was feeling. The king's words were stuck in my head, and it was taking me a long time to assimilate.From the story Elliot had told me, I had assumed that I was the offspring of alpha Stanley, and Elliot was the offspring of The king. So this new influx of information that was being unfolded on me was to much to digest all at once.I tore my eyes away from the ground, and towards the king who had a solemn look on his face. My eyes moved to Elliot and he looked away from me. I felt slight anger towards him. Why hadn't he told me about this?"I know may come as a shock to you," The king spoke up and my eyes turned back to him."I am your father, and because of how deeply in love I was with Brynn, I prevented her from leaving the castle to get you back."Another slap to the face. I stumbled back, unsure of what I had heard."What....what do you mean by that?" I asked, my lips quiver
SUZIE'S POVThe birds chirping outside the window, roused me up from my sleep. I moved around in the bed and noticed that there was no one beside me. My eyes fluttered open, and I pushed myself up on the bed as I rubbed my eyes.I looked around, my eyes scanning the empty bed as questions popped up in my head. I vividly remember falling asleep in my mates arms, but now, they were no where in sight.Where had they gone?I looked around, unsure of where they could've gone and why they were not in the bed when it was just a few minutes past 6am. I pushed myself up from the bed and as my feet touched the ground, the door burst open and my mates trouped in.Asher was grinning at me and beside him was Blair, who held a large tray in his hand. My eyes moved to Roy and Felix, who also has trays in their hand. I was puzzled and I raised my eyebrows at them."What is all of this?" I asked."We wanted to surprise the most beautiful woman in the world with some breakfast in bed. Pretty neat right
CARL'S POVI slipped through the window, my body hitting the floor. I breathed out a sigh of relief as I rose up from the floor, and dusted the dirt away from my shirt. I looked around the room, one more time to confirm if Elliot was here.Thankfully, he wasn't.I quickly peeled off everything item of clothing I had on, and slipped on a robe. I needed to act and look like I had never left the room before he came back. I quickly changed back to my original form, but the make up I had applied on my face was still there.I swiped some wipes off the table and sat in front of the vanity mirror. I had applied on some heavy make up, just in case someone managed to recognise me through the disguise. I wiped my forehead, and slowly went down to my eyebrows.I wiped of the mascara, and just as I was about to wipe off the red lipstick, I began to hear the locks on the door click. I froze, unable to move as I watched the door unlock. The door clicked, and swung open.My eyes went wide as they fel
SUZIE'S POV"Hey, how are you holding up?"I was suddenly jolted out of my mind, and it was only them I realised that I had still been staring at the burning pack house, only that now, it wasn't ablaze anymore. The remains, ashes, black debris was the only thing in sight.I turned back to see Felix, gazing at me with softness in his eyes. I shot him a wry smile, because even I was unable to tell if I was okay or not. Everything had happened so fast, and it was overwhelming. My mind kept replaying each scene, and I knew I would remember these events for a very long time.The carriage shook, and I turned to see Felix settling down beside me. He wrapped his arm around me and I snuggled closer to him, placing my head on his chest. He stroked my hair and the feeling put a sense of calmness over me."You don't have to say anything, I can tell how you're feeling. Everything that happened was really heavy and you are honestly very strong for pushing through."I chuckled. "The only reason I co
SUZIE'S POVThe boy I held in my hands, was not only covered in my blood, but his as well. I only noticed when I saw the large cut wound at his side. Blood was gushing out from the large wound, and the life in his eyes were slowly dimming out.My eyes went wide and I ran my hands across his face. "No, no, no, I can't let you die," I muttered through gritted teeth.I tried to push myself up from the ground, when I felt a sharp pain, just above my abdomen. The pain stopped me from moving, and my eyes travelled down to the spot. A large branch was stuck right in that spot, and blood filled the floor below it.I groaning, feeling the pain rising as I kept moving. I ignored the pain, and pushed myself up, until my back was resting on a large boulder. I held the bit close, his eyes blinking rapidly.His breathing was getting shallow by the minute, and soon, I could not see the rise and fall of his chest. My lips began to quiver, and so did my hands. I clutched him tightly, like he was my la
SUZIE'S POVI turned my head back slowly, and my eyes fell on the young boy. He had his first clenched to his sides and a mean scowl on his face. He had his gaze son Blair, who was still trying to recover. What had just happened? I assumed that Blair will deal with the boy easily, so what was going on?"Fuck, that bastard, how is he that strong? I underestimated him," Blair groaned as he rose to his feet.The boy began to breathe heavily, with his chest rising and falling rapidly. He eyes were growing redder by the minute, and so was his skin. He looked at me, and a chill ran down my spine."How dare you, how dare you, how dare all of you! How dare you interrupt me from serving my purpose in life!"He screamed again, and it resembled the shriek of that hideous monster. I placed my hands on my ears and winced as they began to ring. I watched, mortified as the boy's body began to change slowly.His skin grew as red as blood and two large horns emerged from his forehead. His eyes now hel
SUZIE'S POVI ran, as fast as my quivering legs could carry me. I was too scared to turn back, but I could hear the shrieks and screams of the monster, right behind me. I could hear the sound of it crawling through the boulder, and I knew it was a matter of time before it got its hands on me.My breath was laboured and I was gasping for air at this point. My legs were getting weak, but I had to push on. The images of my mate, and the sounds of their struggles replayed in my mind. My vision blurred with tears as I thought of their condition.I wished I could go back for them, but I could only pray that they weren't badly hurt.The screams of the entity rang through the air once again, the sound bouncing off against the wall, and making the whole cave shudder. Rocks and debris began to fall, hitting my skin, and nicking it.But I ignored the bruises and kept running.It didn't take long, like I had anticipated, before I could hear the sound of the monster heavy steps behind me. It was c
SUZIE'S POVI was in awe, and I didn't know how to act, or react to the tantrum Geraldine was exhibiting right in front of me. She kept shrieking like a mad person, again and, until the walls began to vibrate."What is she doing?" Asher asked.I turned to them, and they eyes were fixed on her, a fearful and confused look on their faces. I snapped my head back and suddenly, Geraldine passed. With her hands in the air and her eyes looking up to the roof, she stood still, unmoving.I watched, in amusement, as she slowly brought her hands back to her side and she looked at me. Her face and her whole demeanour was calmer that it was, a few seconds ago. She sighed and smiled at me while she shook her head."I knew it would come to this," she sighed, "I knew you would refuse my offer, and how i wish you had accepted. Now, I am forced to use my last resort."Last resort? All the hairs at the back of my neck stood up straight. I had a terrible feeling about her words, and I could not shake it
SUZIE'S POVMy eyes went so wide, I feared they would fall of, as I gazed at the people that trooped into the cave. They were children, elderly men and woman, and a few young men, but they all looked malnourished.Some of the were missing a limb, while some looked like they had a permanent brain disorder. Some could barely walk, and they limped, while some of them looked so skinny, their bones were protruding out of their skin.It was so bad, that I thought their bones would pop out, and tear through their skin. They all stood beside Geraldine, and they could not gaze into my eyes. They all looked downwards, and most of them did not have functioning eyes.I did not know whether to feel pity, or shock at the sight that was before me. And I couldn't even look at them, because of how deformed most of them looked. They didn't look human, and they had a creepy aura surrounding them.Geraldine's gaze switched to me, and she had a more firm and calm demeanour."As you can see, these are the
SUZIE'S POV"Please, forgive him, he was just a boy that went astray, do forgive him. He didn't know what he was doing," Geraldine said aa she clasped her hands together.I looked at the way her eyes were pleading with me. Hee whole demeanour looked like she was desperate. She was, but there was nothing I could do to help her. It also angered me that she wanted me to just forgive the dark king's transgressions so easily."You make it seem like the dark king, the things he did holds no weight, but it seems like you do not understand the height of the things he did. He sent our a deadly plague to my people. He killed families, children, women, men, he killed them without batting an eye lid. He tortured me countless of times and molested me when I was just a child!"My whole body began to quiver as I began to remember those bitter memories I had hidden at the back of my mind. I felt a hand on my shoulder, and I turned to see Asher, comforting me. I placed my hand on his ansShot him a sma
