~Nico~"That game was one hell of a headache! Volton Campus has one of the best basketball teams,I have to acknowledge that.Next time,we need to prepare thoroughly because it's no joke."Brylle, one of my closest friends and teammates suggested and heaved a deep sigh."Well we defeated them nonetheless," I shrugged nonchalantly and tugged off the basketball shirt.We were discussing how tough the Volton's basketball team was just a few minutes ago inside the locker room."Maybe this time we were lucky,but what about next time?If we don't put more effort into training, Volton will defeat us next time and that is for sure. Nicholas Adam, your team hasn't been training regularly, you need to change your strategy.''Teacher David, the coach of basketball gave us a piece of his mind.I stopped whatever I was doing just to listen to him.David has been the coach of the football team for years and I'm quite sure that he knows what he was talking about. I loved basketball so much and I wouldn't wa
~Nico~I used my front limb paws to scratch them in the face and my hind limbs to kick them off me but they were too many for me to defeat them.I could tell that they're trained and getting past them was close to impossible.I was only one while they were a group,it was a losing battle…Despite being on the disadvantaged side,I tried my best to get past the group of wolves.For Amara,I will burn bridges and fight to reach her.I fought the wolves in determination,having Amara's image in my mind to remind me that I had someone who was waiting for me to save her.However,all the efforts were in vain as the wolves got the upper hand.I howled in frustration as though doing so would make them leave me alone so that I could run after my kidnapped mate."You need to calm down,Nico!"I heard our Gamma's voice in my head,they were warriors from our pack.But why are they coming after me instead of going after Amara."Amara,they have kidnapped Amara."I told him through the mind link in case he had fo
~Nicholas~"Were you able to rescue Amara?Where is she?"That's when I realised that mom was by my side when she asked the very question that I wanted to know the answer to so badly.Alpha looked at us and he seemed lost for words. My heart pounded wildly against my ribcage, fearing getting the better of me.There was this gut feeling that something was wrong,he heaved a deep sigh and ran his fingers through his already messy hair.My heart sank deep into my stomach when Alpha shook his head in denial,"No! Fernando is using Amara as a bargaining power."He clenched his hands into a tight fist until his knuckles turned white."Fernando has kidnapped some of my men too to increase the bargaining power."I didn't know what to say when Alpha explained to us the foolish tricks of the heartless Alpha king.I felt like a failure for not trying my best to rescue my Amara.I felt like a terrible mate who failed to protect his fated from danger."What does he want in exchange for Amara? Does he want
~Nicholas~I could hear my heart thumping in my heart.Even though I had thought things through after hearing my mother's conversation and thought that it was better for us to go to Fernando to save Amara, deep down I was worried about everything. I was afraid that Fernando would hurt my mother like what happened in the past.I looked at Mom as she continued to walk away without turning back.I could tell that her decision was final and there was no way she was going to change her mind. Closing my eyes momentarily and heaving a deep sigh, I was about to turn around and follow behind my mother when Alpha made the first step that I was about to make.His strides were long and in a matter of seconds, he caught up with my mother and grabbed her hand, stopping her from walking any further.My mother turned around and locked eyes with her mate. She looked at his big hand firmly wrapped around her wrist stopping her from walking away then slowly raised her head to look at him,tears flowed from
~Nicholas~"I will be back.Nico,take care of your mother for me."Alpha told me and I nodded my head at his words.He looked at my mother and I could tell that they communicated through the mind link something that I couldn't decipher.That's what Amara and I do whenever we tease each other or talk dirty.I longed for my mate even more when I recalled the sweet teasing moments through the mind-link.Alpha and the beta left and I couldn't help but stare at them for a few seconds then looked back at my mother."Mom,I need to go back to the mansion."I informed her and she nodded at my words. Alpha has asked me to watch over my mother and I don't want anything to happen to her.I don't want to fail to watch over my mother the same way I failed to watch over my mate. My heart twisted inside my chest as though someone was squeezing it into a tiny ball when I gave it a thought.Mom listened to me and we headed towards the mansion in silence, everyone lost in his/her world of thoughts.I raised
~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

~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
