Zach’s POVIn that moment, we made a silent pact to embrace the love that had blossomed between us. We knew that it wouldn't be easy, that there would be obstacles and challenges along the way. But we were willing to face it all, hand in hand, knowing that the connection we shared was worth fighting for.Our eyes locked as she stood up and got rid of her clothes while I locked the door and did the same thing.We didn’t need an external body to tell us what was going to happen.It was clear we both needed it. We both laid in bed, our bodies entwined with her head resting on my chest as I gently played with her hair. I could feel her breath against my skin, and I knew she was already half-asleep. But I wasn't ready for the day to end just yet.It had been a while since we had laid in this position. Maybe too long.I was happy living in this moment with her.I leaned down and pressed my lips to hers, deepening the kiss as I felt her stir. My hands slowly began to wander, tracing a pat
Zach’s POVI walked about with my beta, wondering how I was going to get the elders to approve of my decision.“I mean, he tried to destroy my marriage. Can’t I say least get his head or something?” I asked Lucas who chomped on a steak with a happy look on his face.“Alpha, you need to relax,” Lucas smiled. “You can’t go about blaming people for this kind of crime even if he was found guilty of it by you. It is against the law by the werewolf council. They could decide to have you removed from the throne.”I sighed. He was right. But I still needed to at least try.“I’m going to the council of wolves to report this.”My statement brought a horrific look to the man who dropped the remaining steak to the ground.“No,” he said with fear. “You do that and you are letting your pack be open.”“The damage has been done to me and my pack, I will not let it stand.”“But you are saying he performed witchcraft which is totally illegal and you also say he’s performing a crime against another alph
Zach’s POVHe turned to face me with red eyes as I knew he had been crying.“What is it?” The former alpha said with a straight face not minding his shaky voice.“I need your help,” I said. Ever since that day we had had that emotional connection, he had changed. He was not harsh towards Kayla and he was more reserved towards acting rashly towards her. “And what do you want from me?” He asked. “It’s the council matter which I’m sure you must have heard of.”“I did,” he strolled past me. “I thought it was a stupid idea and if I had said something you would have argued with me and it would have ended in a terrible way between us which to be fair is something I am trying to avoid doing.”I could not refute his claims but since I was not here to argue, I kept quiet.“Look, I understand how you feel, but that bastard came at me with those stupid plots of his to ruin my relationship.”“You let a woman you had not seen in a very long time ruin what you had with Kayla. That doesn’t seem lik
Zach’s POVKayla’s father and Willow got close to us as they bowed. We nodded to them just as Kayla came down to see them.“Oh my! You guys actually came!” She said in excitement, hugging them as I smiled.“I had to give them a call. I needed them to be here to protect you while I was out,” I said as she nodded.“Thank you so much. I can’t thank you enough for all you’re doing for me.”I shrugged. “It’s my pleasure.”With that I gave the newcomers the new rules and placed them in the hands of my maids to give them their rooms before getting into the car with my team and driving off.As much as I wanted to stay with them, I also wanted to be out of here and into the werewolf councils pack, getting my case ready for them. The car ride to the council was bleak. Mateo tried to sing and get everyone along with him but no one was interested in doing that.He sat at the back with my old man while the beta sat in front with me.Within a few hours of continuous driving, we reached the council
Zach’s POVAs I presented our case, I spoke with conviction and passion, channeling the wisdom and strength passed down from my father. I laid out our arguments, supported by evidence and testimonials, highlighting the injustice we had faced and the potential consequences of Jackson’s actions. The council listened intently, their expressions a mix of curiosity and discernment. I could feel their eyes upon me, evaluating not only the merits of the case but also the strength of my leadership. I stood tall, my voice unwavering, as I made our case with unwavering determination.When I finally concluded my arguments, the council members exchanged glances, their deliberations shrouded in an air of suspense. Minutes felt like hours as the tension in the room thickened, leaving me on the edge of anticipation.Finally, the council's leader, a wise and respected alpha, stood from his seat. His voice resonated through the chamber as he delivered the council's ruling, his words carrying the we
Zach’s POVAs an alpha of my own pack, I had always been curious about the inner workings of other wolf packs especially this council pack. Each pack had its own unique dynamics, traditions, and values that shaped its members. So, when I found myself in the council's pack, I saw it as an opportunity to explore and understand what made this particular pack so special.The council's pack was known to be one of the oldest and most prestigious packs in the werewolf community. They were revered for their wisdom, strength, and fair judgment. Stepping into their territory, I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and respect for the pack that had stood the test of time.The pack's territory was vast and filled with lush forests, expansive meadows, and hidden waterfalls. It was a haven for werewolves, a sanctuary where they could embrace their true nature without fear or judgment. As I ventured deeper into the territory, I noticed the pack's members going about their daily activities, each
Zach’s POVThe old man approached me with a smile on his face."This grove is a sacred space," he explained, his voice carrying a soothing tone. "It is where our pack members come to reconnect with the essence of who they are and find inner peace. We believe that true strength comes not just from physical prowess, but from the balance of mind, body, and spirit."All I could do was nod and look around while he kept on explaining.“You do have one of these in your pack don’t you?” I nodded when he asked as he continued. “Don’t pray, boy?”That was a question I could not answer."In order to lead others effectively," the wise wolf continued, "we must first know ourselves. We must be attuned to our instincts, our strengths, and our weaknesses. Only then can we guide our pack with clarity and purpose. We need the guidance of those who has come before us and the gods who preside over us."I found myself deeply moved by his words. “Thank you,” I said before leaving him and continuing with m
Kayla’s POVI stayed with my father and Willow at the palace as we played games and had lots of fun.My father kept on asking me questions about the palace and even when I found the questions a bit disturbing, I didn’t make anything of it.After all, he was only being curious which wasn’t a bad thing.One day, I decided to ask him about his questioning to know what he was after.“Oh it’s nothing,” he said with a smile. “I’m in the same palace that killed your mother. I have to be sure I’m not being targeted and I’m not going to be killed one day for doing absolutely nothing.”It wasn’t a believable answer but I was willing to go with it.“Dad, just enjoy the palace and its lush food. It’s not a bad place to be, I promise.”“I thought you said you would have nothing to do with him.”“It turns out he’s my mate.”“What?!” Willow, who was with us in the garden while we talked about this, exclaimed in shock. “You didn’t tell me.”“I called you countless times to tell you the news, you didn
Kayla’s POVOn the day of my wedding, I had more people show up and congratulate me for being the next Luna.It was a fun situation to be in if I was being honest.Being pregnant and having people come up to me with happy faces… it had been a while since thy had happened to me.At least I was done with Jackson and Fiona as well as Mara. I was finally free. I could live again.Adriana and her mother who were present at my wedding came to beg for forgiveness.Since I was in a happy mood, I accepted their apology and waved them off, but they wanted to talk more.“I know who your real father is,” Adriana said as her mother explained everything to me.Apparently, my mother and Adriana’s mother had been friends so of course the woman would know.I called Zach and he was present when the woman said everything she could say to us.Zach decided to launch an investigation and he set up a team for finding my real father.While on my wedding day, I smiled from a distance while watching Willow go
Zach’s POVI looked at Mara, my heart heavy with anger and forgiveness. "Your punishment will be different," I said, my voice filled with a mix of determination and grief. "You will be sent to a faraway county, where you will serve your punishment for sixty years. It is my hope that during this time, you will reflect upon your actions and find peace. I made sure to tell the council of this, so worry not."Mara bowed her head, her eyes filled with tears. "Thank you," she murmured. "I will spend every moment of those sixty years atoning for my mistakes."Just then, the council called Mara forward and gave her her own punishment as I smiled at her being led away.With the sentencing complete, the council turned their attention to Felix, the man who had stolen pack secrets and framed his own wife, resulting in her untimely death. His actions had caused immense pain and suffering within Kayla’s family."Felix," the council leader addressed him, his voice stern. "For your crimes of treacher
Zach’s POVOur ride home from Jackson’s pack was silent as no one had ever seen me unleash such strength before.When we reached the council's pack that night, we headed for the meeting hall to discuss.“Tomorrow is the day we meet with the council,” I said. “We have enough evidence to put Jackson in the ground.”“What about Fiona?” Father asked.“Oh he’ll comply,” I smiled. “I also saw Adriana who promised to show up at the court alongside her husband like she would support him but when she is brought up to talk, she would speak against him because he had been physically assaulting her.”They all nodded with my plans. It would be a matter of time before we would win this case but I was very sure there was nothing Jackson could do against us. We were definitely winning this case.When Mateo and Lucas had gone to bed, I stayed back with my father.In his eyes were proud eyes.“I have never seen anyone fight through wolfsbane like you did before.”I chuckled. “I can still feel the poiso
Zach’s POV "Last time, I spared your life. Perhaps this time, I shall not be so merciful,” the fire in his hands got higher and higher as I gave a deep gasp of pain, the poison still coursing through my body.My failing strength was trying to keep up but was failing.A roar erupted from deep within me, a primal challenge that echoed through the entire pack. "I have grown stronger," I declared, my voice filled with my never give up spirit. "No barriers or spells can stand against the might of my otherworldly strength. Prepare to be defeated, wolf."With lightning speed, I lunged forward, my fist aimed at his head. But the alpha wolf was no ordinary opponent. He moved his body with effortless ease, his magical barriers shimmering to life, deflecting my blows effortlessly. He retaliated with a blast of energy, sending me hurtling backward with a force that would have shattered the bones of a lesser being.But I was no ordinary being.“Be careful!” My father yelled as I nodded and prep
Zach’s POVMy wolf’s eyes glowed with a red glow, a flame of strength. He regarded me with concern, his voice speaking deep within my soul. "Do not give up," he urged, his words echoing through me. “As a werewolf, we are born warriors, fighters. We do not yield to defeat."I struggled to find the words, my voice hoarse and weak. "But I have been defeated," I whispered, the weight of my failure heavy upon my shoulders. "I am broken, beaten. He has magical strength which is unheard of and to top it off he also has magic. Only the moon goddess knows what he has hidden within his body that gives him such power. “I gave him everything I had. My punches shattered the walls and the entire training halls. That should have knocked him out unconscious but he was standing long enough to stab me with wolfsbane. How am I going to beat my own weakness and his magic when I am limited."My wolf shook his head, his fur glistening under the dim light. "Defeat is not the end," he replied, his voice st
Zach’s POVThe searing pain of the wolfsbane coursing through my veins was unbearable. I could feel its toxic strain spreading like wildfire, devouring my strength, my vitality. Every fiber of my being screamed out in agony, my wolf howling in despair. This was too much to bear and I tried to stay calm by fighting it but the werewolf body was not created to handle wolfsbane.It was called wolfsbane for a reason. It was the weakness of every wolf.I was too weak to do anything. My senses were destroyed.I could hear my father screaming warnings at Jackson who laughed and fought against my beta and general, beating them away like they were nothing.I wished I could help but I was battling with inner demons at the moment.With everything going on, I refused to succumb. I fought against the darkness, desperately clinging to consciousness, as the person who had caused my pain laughed at my suffering.His laughter filled the air, a cruel reminder of what I was going through. "Look at you
Zach’s POV“I don’t need this,” he said tossing aside his sword as he hit his fists up. “I can handle you like a wolf.”Now that was his biggest mistake. Fist fights were my thing. “You should stick to weapons,” I said. “Trust me. You’ll need them.”“Oh I’ll use weapons,” he smirked. “When I’m done destroying you with my fists.”What a child. He was in for a surprise visit.The atmosphere brimmed with electricity as I lunged forward with the force of a charging beast. My werewolf strength pushed me towards the other alpha, who stood ready in the center of the ring to receive me. This was a battle of dominance, a fight that would determine the fate of our packs.I was confident in my strength and speed and I was ready no matter what to win.I would not let this alpha who had almost destroyed my pack multiple times win.I was fighting for my family, I was fighting for my pack. My honor, my friends who had been affected. I was fighting for them all and I was ready to have my revenge a
Zach’s POV I wanted so badly to tear him apart after that little stunt he played, but with my father trying to keep me away from the fight, and Lucas as well as Mateo holding me back, I could only obey their wishes.“You should be careful what you do next alpha,” Jackson said with a laugh. “This pack is mine and you could be killed for anything.”“Are you threatening me?” My wolf was beginning to push forward through the glow in my eyes.“If I am then you probably deserve it. Otherwise, shut up and get out. I don’t need a child to tell me what to do or whatnot. Alphas who don’t honor other alphas duel are children who should not be allowed to the throne. Even your father knows that. “And that is why he’s keeping you in check so you won’t lose face in front of your people. Oh don’t worry. I’ll make sure to take it easy on the next person I duel with. However now that we are done with our problems, you can get off from my pack and scurry off to the council’s pack to cry. I don’t deal
Jackson’s POVI really wanted him to fight with me and I ached for it for a very good reason.Prior to him showing up to the pack, I had planned everything I would do to the alpha.I remembered everything I had done before the alpha showed up and I lived in it for the moment.***Of course when I had told Fiona my plans she had been skeptical about it.“What do you mean you’ll get the alpha to spar with you?” She asked in anger. “How are you even going to do that? He’s a very trained fighter. He’ll kill you. He isn’t here for jokes. I didn’t run away from his pack and come all this way to be found out. Please review your thoughts and focus on making me live.”“I need him to fear me. He doesn’t fear anyone.”“And for good reason,” she sighed. “When you’re that strong you don’t need to. Look, how about we focus on keeping me away from his eyes and you win that court case by not going there. The council might force him to come get you in the beginning but when you show up to the council'
