Fiona’s POVNow I was before the alpha, my insides were tingling as I was ready to do anything I could to get the alpha to sleep with me.If he could get me pregnant in his sick state that would be splendid. It would give me a place by his side and he would have no choice I reached out a delicate hand, my fingertips grazing lightly against the king's brow. "My love," I whispered, my voice filled with a gentle urgency, "Let me ease your burdens, if only for a short while. It’s been a while. Why keep me around the palace if you don't need me here? I know you want me.”Zach’s eyes met mine, a mix of longing and resignation swimming within our depths as I smirked seductively to him. "Fiona, you must understand," he began, his voice strained, "My body may be weak, but my heart remains steadfast. I cannot allow you to do this. I already told you that I have someone else that I have eyes for. Why is that so hard for you to understand?”My gaze held unwavering determination as I drew closer,
Lucas’s POVI patrolled the night as I thought of the pack I had left behind.I wondered how they were doing without me. It had been a long time since I had been in this palace and patrolled the night.I missed doing it.I was in the garden when an elder whom I recognized to be Fiona’s father showed up to join me.“Hey beta,” he said to me as I nodded to him. “What are you doing so late out here?”“Patrolling the palace to make sure it’s safe here. I don’t want to neglect my duty as a beta and see rogues coming in to kill the alpha or its inhabitants. I would lose it.”He smiled. “I doubt the rogues would attack tonight or any other night seeing as the guards are protecting this entire space. But if you still think it’s a good idea to defend the place then go ahead. I support whatever decision you take.”“Why are you still here anyway?” I asked wondering what the man wanted anyway. He should be home by now but he was still here.“I wanted to talk to you about the men at the border pat
Lucas’s POVAs I dispatched the first assassin, his lifeless body crumpled to the forest floor, a deathly testament to the brutality of our battle. The second assassin lunged at me, his blades slicing through the air with deadly precision. I deflected his attacks with a combination of speed and sheer strength, before delivering a devastating blow that shattered his spine.“Arrgggghhhh!” He screamed before I put my hand over his mouth and cracked his neck which had him falling to the ground dead.“Next one,” I smiled.A surge of adrenaline coursed through my veins as I turned my attention to the remaining two assassins. “Round him up!” The one who seemed to be the leader said as his lackey lunged at me.They fought with a coordinated ferocity, their movements fluid and precise. I moved out of their strikes, dodging their lethal blows with a wolf’s grace. But they were skilled, their attacks calculated and relentless.Blood stained the forest floor, pooling beneath the fallen bodies o
Zach’s POVI had heard the commotion from the window and wondered what was going on but now the tea stood before me in a bloody mess I knew what had happened.“You went savage didn’t you?” I chuckled as he shrugged.“They refused to surrender. I had to take action.”“Maybe killing them was a bit extreme for them.”“They wanted to come over here to take you down. It seems like they had heard stories about you being sick and that was why they were back. Either way, I sure am glad that I get to take down the threats.”I could only smile at him as he wiped the blood on his clothes.“Thanks man. I appreciate your service. Wouldn’t have been able to fend off the threats if I’m being honest.”He smiled. “As long as I’m beta, I’ll protect this pack from danger.”And that was all he said before leaving.I thought of the time Fiona had come into the room to seduce me and suddenly laid on the bed laughing.That had to be the funniest thing I had seen all day.With a shrug, I closed my eyes and d
Fiona’s POVI had to act fast for time was ticking and if she knew I was the one it would be a serious crime.“I thought you to know better than to accuse me of doing it,” I said, flipping the situation on her as I was going to play the victim card. “So it wasn’t you?” She asked, her tone going from aggressive to disappointed real quick.“No,” I said while holding my arms and standing on my lies. Of all the things you had to accuse me of Mara it had to be murder? How low can you get?”She sighed. “I’m really sorry. I really wished it was you. I don’t have the balls to do such a thing so I was thinking you were only trying to weed out the competition which to be honest I would be very glad of you did.”But I would not do anything like tell her the truth.Just like Kayla she wasn’t any better. She was also in the running for who would get Zach. Although I would prefer her to get Zach than Kayla, I still didn’t like the fact that I had to share Zach with two women.I wanted him all to m
Kayla’s POVI had not expected that from him. How did he know? Who told him I was pregnant for the alpha?Then it dawned on me that he was the one who had worked on the video for the alpha and figured out about me being the woman the alpha had had a one night stand with.“You already know,” I sighed as he nodded, getting close to me. He reeked of death and blood as I took a step back before he noticed.“Apologies,” he smiled. “I didn’t realize I smelled that bad.”“It’s fine. It’s just that I’m pregnant and my senses are way higher than it would normally be and as a wolf that doesn’t really help.”“Yeah. Sorry. I’m only making the rounds to make sure everything is fine.”I shook my head. “Is everything okay?”And that question was all it took for me to explode in anger.“Well everything isn’t fine. I’ve got those two women on my case and everyday they look for creative new ways to make my life a living hell. How do I even get rid of them? I can’t fight anyone in this condition. I can
Kayla’s POVThese women were bullying me and I had to do something if I was going to have my place of respect.“I’m done here,” I said, moving past them as Fiona tried to push me back but I instead pushed her back and started for the stairs. I wanted to get away from them as fast as I could.As I got to the stairs, I heard them use their speed to get to me.“Hey fucker,” I heard Mara say as I turned to f as s her as she pushed me over the stairs.I had not anticipated that and I didn’t have my footing. I slowly fell down the stairs, my entire body shaking as all I could think of the baby in my stomach and how I was going to be the death of the child.I rolled down the stairs until I got to the bottom and rolled to a stop.It would have stopped there, but due to fate still playing games with me, I started to bleed from the cuts on my body and my stomach started to hurt a bit.I found the blood coming from within.“No,” I gasped. I looked to the top of the stairs to see Mara and Fiona l
Zach’s POVAt that moment, I knew all I wanted was to break my wolf and tell it that it was ruining my life with all these double signs.As I looked out of the window, I felt something wasn’t right.On this particular day, something changed. A surge of electricity ran through my veins, awakening a primal instinct within me. “What is going on?” I muttered, turning to the door as I wondered what was going on. It was the unmistakable presence of my mate, and she was here, within the walls of my palace.I had not felt this kind of feeling before. It was overwhelming and I could tell that something was off somewhere.Even when I had met Mara, it had not been this way. I had not felt anything like this towards Kayla so she was out of the question.I had to find out where this feeling was coming from.My heart raced as I got out of the room for the first time and followed the magnetic pull, the tingling sensation that coursed through every fiber of my being. It was as if my body had come
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'
