Zack’s POV“The war is over,” I said to the surprise of the men in the room. “We should get back home and I’ll handle this when I am ready for it.”“Alpha,” an elder spoke up. “We lost a lot of men today. I don’t want to give this fight up.”“Do you want to go into that forest and fish out the numerous rogues who seem to be coming out of a portal? Have you seen the amount of rogues showing up? They don’t seem to stop. They keep on showing up like flies. You don’t want to be in a terrible position and get caught with them.”“But giving up right now doesn’t seem like the right idea. We can keep on fighting like we have been…”I glanced at them as they all shivered before pulling out of the room leaving me alone.I was done with their stupid plots.Tonight was going to be a very long night filled with battles and maybe a few deaths.The night systems were up to detect the threats and neutralize them but I knew that the systems were not perfect. They would not take out everyone. That was
Kayla’s POVWhen we were done with the place, we sat on the hood of the car, looking at the road we would travel through.It was broken from all the bombs we had witnessed throughout the other day.It was peaceful this morning. The forest had the animals giving off sounds which had me feeling nostalgic about the farm back at home.I shook my head. That was not my home any longer.“What are you thinking about?” Zack scattered my thoughts as I smiled at him. “It’s beautiful out here. The nature seems untouched.”“It used to be a farm where we would have lots of animals grazing and crops planted but now it’s mostly just overgrown bushes with the rogues living in it.”He looked at the house. “I’m going to miss this place. I might not see this place when I get back. The rogues would have destroyed it by then.”I felt sad for the house which had protected me and him. It was supposed to be a wonderful place free from rogues but it wasn’t.He entered the car as I did the same and he drove us
Zack’s POVI couldn’t hold myself with how happy I was as I lifted her up into the air with my body quivering with so much emotion.I had expected her to still be mad at me that I killed her mother but she wasn’t like that. Instead she had accepted me and agreed to be my Luna.We kissed for sometime before I decided to tell her what I wanted her to know.“Thank you so much for accepting to be with me throughout all of this,” I said while she laughed. “You don’t have to thank me. I like you too, silly. Although I am heavily pregnant with another man’s child. I don’t think that’s going to work out with you as the alpha. Do you still want me to be your Luna?”I didn’t find this to be a deal breaker. Her being pregnant just solidified my claim to the throne as a father. She didn’t need to worry about that.“Your child is my child regardless of who the father is,” I told her. “I will love the child just as I would love anyone of mine. I don’t mind that you’re carrying another man’s child
Zack’s POV“Your father didn’t send me,” he said with a straight face. “I came of my own volition. I’m only here to make sure you don’t make any mistakes.”He said those words like he was sure I was making the wrong decision. I already had someone I wanted to be with. Was that so hard to understand?They all treated me like I was some kid who didn’t truly understand the lessons of life. But I did, they just didn’t want to accept my true feelings for Kayla.“Whatever you want to say, I’d advise you to be careful before you say them. I’m on a short fuse today and I don’t want to be mad at anyone.”“But alpha,” he ignored my warnings while going on to say what he wanted to say. “Your father is only looking out for you. He doesn’t want you to make the mistakes some alphas make which results in the destruction of the pack.”“The pack isn’t getting destroyed. What’s so bad about wanting to have a Luna who is already pregnant?”“The child isn’t yours. She is not fit to be a Luna. She has bee
Zack’s POVIn the depths of our ancestral training hall, where my ancestors had trained over and over again until they had bled in the halls, we rounded each other. I was proud of this grand training hall as it was a great place for me to unwind whenever I had something on my mind. It had been a training hall for only the alphas in the beginning before it became the arena for a perilous sparring session between the guards who wanted to train and anyone who wanted to settle squabbles.At the moment, it was a battle ground between Mateo and I.The air within the training hall crackled with electric anticipation as we faced each other, our eyes locked in a mixture of excitement and determination. The training hall was adorned with ancient tapestries and old pictures of the former alphas, my father included, which provided a fitting backdrop for the clash of our supernatural abilities.“Here I come,” I said before zipping into him, which he anticipated and stood his ground ready to rece
Zack’s POVWe sat on the ground drinking beers and looking at the paintings on the walls as we tried to bring up a solution for my problem.I was an alpha but it wasn’t a hindrance to me having friends. Mateo was one of those very good friends I had and would love to keep staying in touch with. I didn’t want to have any bad relationship with him. I doubted there was anything that would make me have a bad relationship with him.I looked at my empty bottle which I dropped down with a burp.“This sucks,” I sighed. “As an alpha I have to do this and do that. I can’t have a relationship with who I want. It’s almost like I’m a robot.”“You said she was pregnant with another man’s child. That’s what they have a problem with and not the fact that she is the daughter of a traitor.”“She didn’t even grow up with her mother. At least they should all cut her some slack.”We stayed silent for a while before he stood up and stretched his arm to me.“You want to spar again?” He asked as I shrugged.
Kayla’s POVI wondered what was going on as I walked into the gate to see multiple guards standing at different points like they were protecting an important person.I walked to the door to see my father shivering at the door.“Dad?!” I called out, running to hold him steady as Willow touched his head to see if he was okay.“Are you Kayla?” a voice asked as I turned to see a man in black robes standing before me.He had very dark eyes which told me he had seen things which could break the pack if he so wished for it to.“Yes.” I said with a nod. “I am Kayla. Is there anything you want?”“A word in private.”“Kayla don’t go with him,” I heard my father say as I saw some of the guards move towards him which prompted me to zip before my father with my arms outstretched. I would protect him with my life.“If you so much as touch him I will call the alpha and have your heads hanging on the walls,” I threatened as the man in robes raised a brow.“Making threats are we?” he chuckled like thi
Kayla’s POVThe next day, I awoke to the sound of someone rapping on my door which had me jumping to sit up.“What?!” I yelled while rubbing my eyes. I looked at my table clock to see the time was still around seven o’clock. “Go away! It’s too early for this.”I laid back in bed, putting the pillow over my ears to avoid listening to the banging noise.When the noise didn’t go away, I got to the door, opening it to see a panicking willow, standing outside with her pajamas on.“Willow, it’s still morning. What do you want?”“The former alpha is here,” she said with a panic in her voice.“What do you mean?” I asked, confused on why the old man would be at the door.I suddenly got scared. I had already had a recent fallout with Fiona’s father, the elder. Had he reported me to the alpha already?I geared up, ready to attack him and tell him what had happened.Running out of the room while Willow screamed that I wasn’t dressed appropriately, I ran to the front door where I paused, took a de
