~Nico~I creased my eyebrows when I heard Mom's words because I couldn't wrap my head around whatever she was talking about. Why was she feeling guilty when it was not her fault? Why was mom blaming herself for the universe being so unfair to her?"What do you mean? I don't understand where you're coming from and why you think that you have been mean to your mate.You love her wholehearted Mother, I can see it in your eyes every time you look at him.Where does being mean come from?"I couldn't help but ask because I wanted to understand better."Sometimes love is not enough to control or stop some things from happening, son. What caused all this?"She asked me with raised eyebrows."It's love, isn't it? This wouldn't have happened if Abraham and I wouldn't be in love and chose to stay by each other's side."Mom paused and heaved a deep sigh."What I'm trying to say is…I have never made any efforts to make up for all the difficulties that Abraham has endured because of me. I have been so
~Nico~It was quiet inside Amara's room for a while.I know my wolf was hurting just like me.My heart was bleeding.The only thing that could be done to stop it was finding my mate. Just to ascertain that Amara was in good hands and that nothing had happened to her in the hands of Fernando."I hate Fernando so much! How dare he kidnap our mate! He will be accountable if anything happens to our mate or if she gets hurt in any way."My wolf declared possessively and I couldn't help but smile at his words.My wolf and I both hated the bastard and wanted the king to pay for everything that he had done to us and for kidnapping our mate."I hope that our mate is okay. I also hope that we'll find her in one piece.I don't want anything to happen to her."My wolf said in a small voice in my head and I could feel the concern and worry in his voice."So do I, Leon. I love our mate so much and can't bring myself to imagine anything bad happening to her…"My wolf howled inside my head in response, i
~Nicholas~Alpha tensed when he heard my words.I know the words caught him off guard since he wasn't expecting to hear another bad news after his daughter's kidnap.However,he composed himself immediately.I know it took him a lot of courage to put on a straight face.There was no doubt that Alpha acted all tough because his men were around and Alpha's from other packs who united to defeat the bloody Alpha king."Just give me a minute,"Alpha told his men and stood up from the head of the table and left the office."I did everything to make sure that mom was okay.We talked and she promised me that he was going to stay until you give us the direction,"I felt the need to explain to Alpha because he had given me the responsibility to watch over his mate.However,he didn't say anything and I couldn't tell if he was mad at me or not.His strides were in a hurry as he headed over to the mansion.He kicked the wooden mahogany door and entered the house."Trisha?"He called and headed straight to th
~Amara~She could fool everyone else but not me.I knew her too well."Witch! What do you want from me!''I asked through gritted teeth and tried to free myself but to no avail.The rope on my limbs hurt so bad with each attempt to get free.My wrists had turned numb and I couldn't feel my palms anymore.I think they tied the ropes way too tight."You're right,I'm a witch because I hunted you down.Isn't that what witches do?"She asked with a raised brow and laughed as though that was the funniest joke of the year. "However,it's not me who wants something from you,bitch.It's our leader who wants something from you because you and your father owe him something which is very important to him.Does that statement ring a bell in your stupid head?"Sandra said and laughed sarcastically.There was no doubt that she was talking about Fernando."What do you have to offer me anyway?"She laughed even more after saying the words as though that was the funniest joke of the year.I gritted my teeth as an
~Amara~"I don't know,I just walked in few seconds ago and found her coughing.Maybe she feels thirsty,do you need some water,Amara?I can fetch you some,you know."The witch shrugged nonchalantly and pretended to be so caring and I couldn't believe it.She just choked me a few seconds ago and she was the reason why I was coughing yet she pretended as though she was innocent and put on an act.I could tell that she was afraid of the man who had just walked into the room a few seconds ago by how she behaved and talked in his presence.Even though I had never met Fernando or came face to face with him,I could tell that he was the man standing in front of me with bodyguards.He was the only person who could make people shiver the same way he did to Sandra.I wanted to laugh out loud but chose to keep my mouth shut.It was funny how things had changed in a blink of an eye.Who would have thought that there was someone who could make Sandra that obedient?She looked like a real devil just a few mi
~Amara~"Nico is my fated mate!You have no power to take him from me or to choose for him who is supposed to be with!"I said through gritted."We will see about that."He said and the corner of his lips curved into a wicked smile,"You're so sturbborn like your father.I see the root runs deep.I wanted to trade with your father but he was so sturbborn and it resulted to his mate's death.I see you're no different from him."I exhaled in anger and tried for the hundredth time to free myself from the claws of the cruel Alpha but all my struggles was in vain just like others.The corner of his lips curved into a smile as he watched me try my very best to get free from him.It reminded me of how Patricia explained to my Dad that he always took young ladies and made them his sex slaves and the thought of it sent shivers down my spine.How dare Fernando tell me that he would never allow me to have Nico and he was my fated mate?I think he had talked with Sandra and agreed that she would be mated t
~Patricia~I stood in Fernando's office as I waited for him to come.I took the opportunity to look around the office, trying to dig in my mind and remember how it looked two decades ago.Nothing had changed really in his office, except the new crown chair which was made of pure gold and there was some extra art on the wall.The castle had grown old over the years compared to years ago.My heart twisted inside my chest painfully as though someone was squeezing it into a tiny ball and it was becoming hard for me to breath.I momentarily closed my eyes and sucked in plenty of air to fill my lungs.Being in Fernando's office reminded me of how I was brought in his pack when ours was seized with his men.They brought me and my parents to his office to prove that indeed they had overthrown our pack and that was the beginning of our suffering.Being in Lakeside pack at the moment opened the wounds that I had been nursing for over two decades and it felt so painful like it never healed in the fir
~Patricia~I was taken back by Fernando's words.I could feel pain in his voice with each word that slipped out of his lips.I could see it in those brown Hazel eyes too."How does it feel to lose a family member?"I asked him the most painful question that someone would ever ask the other,the corner of my lips curving into a smile."How did it feel to watch your daughters,son and your wife's life slip from their veins and there was nothing you could do to stop it?How did it feel when you knew that you are never going to see them ever again?How did it feel to lose the ones that you loved so much?How does it feel to be left all alone without someone to rely on?How does it feel to walk into your child's room and every single thing that you lay your eyes on reminds you of him/her?Come on,tell me.How does it feel?"I asked,my voice low but loud enough for him to hear every single word that came from my lips.Those words reminded me of the past.How Fernando slaughtered my mate when I was watchi

~Nicholas~THREE DAYS LATER“Do you think that I would lie to king Abraham?”The former Lycan king asked me with a raised brow.I could feel anger in his voice even though he was trying his best to stay cool.“I didn't want to believe it and that is why I decided to come all the way here to find out ,your highness.I didn't want to make assumptions.”I explained politely and it was quiet for a while.“Abraham and everyone who I have worked with know me well.I don't lie to make allies.I didn't have any idea that one of Fernando's sons survived!”He said through gritted teeth.I could tell that he was still furious at him even though he has been dead for years.“I wouldn't have let him be if I knew he was alive!”He fisted his hands until the knuckles turned white.“To prove that I don't have anything to do with his survival,”He paused, then heaved a deep sigh.He looked at me and I could feel the strength that he was emitting.For some reason,I felt intimidated with him but I pretended as tho
~Nicholas~My heart got heavy at the sight of their sad faces.My wife had all the right to be worried because I,myself didn't know what to expect at the Lycan's kingdom.I pulled Amara in my arms and she hugged me so tightly,”I promise that I will come back to you and our kids.”My grip around her only tightened.Even though I was making a promise to my wife,I wasn't sure if I could keep it.It's just that…I didn't want to see her that sad because the mere sight of it caused a heartache.Amara wiped tears from her eyes with a smile,I think she got too emotional and she couldn't stop tears from falling. I crouched then held our twins hands.They looked so sad,”Daddy needs to take care of something.”I paused and heaved a deep sigh.“Are you coming back to us soon?”Angelina asked with a pout,”I can't assure you anything because I don't know how much time it will take,Angel.”She made a sad face when she heard my words.“I promise that I will come back as soon as I'm done taking care of eve
~Nicholas~“It's hard to answer that question because I don't know either.”Luke heaved a deep sigh,”Maybe he was able to escape unnoticed during the war between Lycans and Fernando.Who knows?”He shrugged nonchalantly.Luke's words made some sense.I didn't want to judge the Lycan king without finding out the whole truth.I recalled Dad telling me that the quality of a good leader is finding out the reason behind everything that happened and that was my intention.As much as I wanted to conclude that perhaps the Lycan king played a trick on Dad,I wanted to find out the damn truth!And it fucking pissed me off that Fernando's son was getting in my way of leading Silver kingdom.Getting into war with the rogues meant that our kingdom will be affected in some way.War is not something to be happy about even though our kingdom has the resources and the strongest army.“I think Fernando's son has been preparing to claim back his father's territory for the last seven years.He has been waiting f
~Nicholas~“I thought so too,”I heaved a deep sigh and ran my fingers through my already messy hair.“I will look into it first thing tomorrow morning.”Luke said with determination.”That's right,you need to find out so that we can be sure about it.”Dad said and I could feel the uneasiness in his voice.The dead warrior's bodies were carried away in respect and taken to the camp's morgue where the bodies of warriors who died in war are preserved.Dad and I went back to the castle,it was in the middle of the night.Each one of us had so many questions that needed answers…My mother,Amara and the twins rushed to us as soon as we entered the castle and I was happy to see them alive and without any scratch.“Daddy,you're bleeding.”Angelina said as tears streamed down her cheeks.She looked terrified and I couldn't help but smile.I bent over and kissed her on the forehead.“You don't need to worry because Daddy is alright,just a little scratch.”I assured my daughter but she couldn't stop cry
~Nicholas~Few days have already passed since I was crowned as the new king of Silver kingdom.My men and I have been so busy taking care of the business proposals that were brought to us by the Alphas from other packs.We want every single business proposal to be worthwhile and that is why we are giving it full attention.It has to be beneficial to our kingdom so that we can continue to grow stronger economically.I have to admit that being a king of such a big kingdom and the most powerful among wolves ain't easy.Dad must be a beast to deal with all this.It has only been a few days but I felt drained.It's not that I am complaining or anything,I'm just stating facts.I am grateful that Dad is helping me out even though he retired.I consult him about crucial things since I don't want to make any mistake that will cost our kingdom.He is always ready and willing to help.I know I will get used to all this, it's just a matter of time…__________“Your highness,the kingdom is under attack.
~Luke~Damn it!I know she was mad at me because I stayed at the party for that long.I know I broke the promise since I had told her that I won't be staying for that long when she left.But what was I supposed to do?I had a lot of deals to close with Alpha's from other packs and talk to betas.I didn't expect that the conversation would drag.Now that I'm the new beta of Silver kingdom, it's my duty to take care of all beta duties because my dad had finally retired and handed me over the position.I have been helping out my Dad with the beta duties and I always watched closely how he handled everything.He took the duty to teach me as well because he wanted me to be ready when the time comes…I wrapped my strong arms around Arabella from behind and I heard her take a sharp breath.I liked it!I'm happy that my touch still affected her that strongly.Even though she was mad at me,she couldn't deny the effect that I had on her.She can be pissed off with me,however it was hard for her to ig
~Arabella~“What I mean is that…”I paused to catch a breath,”Are you planning to ever fall in love again?It has been seven years since we moved into Silver kingdom.”I held her hands in mine then gave them a little squeeze.Silence reigned the room once again,even a pin drop could be heard.My mother pulled her hands from mine and heaved a deep sigh.“To be honest,I have never given it a thought.I’m fine just the way I'm.I have you, Aurora and Rowan.”Her lips curved into a smile.“The only thing that I would like to focus on is you and my grandchildren.”I could feel the affection that she had for her grandchildren.I have watched her care for them and I'm grateful that they have such a great grandma.I held my mother's hands once again,I didn't care how many times she would pull away.“I fully understand you, mother.”I gave her hand a gentle squeeze,”I understand that you want to make up to me and that is what you have been doing for the past seven years.I understand that you love your gr
~Arabella~I came back a little bit early from the King's farewell party,leaving my husband behind as he was busy talking with the beta and other leaders from the neighbouring packs.I didn't want to distract Luke,that is why I let him be.As much as I wanted to come back home with him,I just couldn't because some work had to be done.I came back to our house.Luke and I moved out of his family's house when he built our own house.We moved in with my mother and it was awesome to have her around.She helped me to take care of our kids when I was too busy.Our first born son is called Rowan,he is six years old,some few months to hit seven.We have a second born who is a girl, she's called Aurora,three years old.Our house's location is not that far from Luke's family, it's just a few metres away from each other.My mother in law is so sweet and she loves her grandchildren so much.She sometimes cooks a lot of food and brings it to us or invites us for dinner so that we can eat as a family.It
