Nora's POV

Carlos can be stubborn when he wants to but his current exhibition is driving me crazy. A sane person wouldn't act the way he does.

Even after telling him what awaited him, he was still dogmatic about it, increasing my frustration. Still trying to figure out a new line to say to him, I remembered the messages I passed to Uncle Damon earlier, that was about the Lycan rogues.

All my hopes were that Carlos was going to be frightened with what I say to him but to my dismay, he wasn't moved a bit.

“Rogues will always remain rogues. It's not as if this is the first time I'm being attacked by rogues and this is definitely not going to be the last.” He huffed.

Grabbing my aching head, I let out a low wince and at once, he rushed to my side only for Karen to sideline him.

“You should stay away from her. You keep making her go crazy each time she has a conversation with you.” Karen said, steering me away from him.

Honestly I'm not even happy with her. She deserves the rumors going on about her. She should choose one at of the two. The moon goodness has given her a second chance mate which happens to still be Carlos.

    Nora's POV“ Vina, you need to stop accusing Uncle Damon without evidence. Although he might be envious of not being the King, I believe he wouldn't hurt his own family,” I interjected as soon as the maid finished her words." Fine!” Vina reluctantly said, rolling her eyes. I stifled laughter before making my way back to the palace. The reception in the throne room was not pleasant. Mother's presence did nothing but to further complicate the issue at hand. I was at loss on what to say or do. It looked like these people had already come up with the solution. Unsure of what to say, I stood in the middle of the throne room, my hands folded in front of me as I began to dart my eyes around. “We heard the rumors… we want to believe it is untrue.” Father broke the silence, causing me to swallow the lump that had risen in my throat. Nodding my head vigorously, I tried to speak but words refused to form as I was overwhelmed. Who could be bored dh“Aren't you going to say something? The sit

Now sitting on the edge of my bed, I buried my head in my palm only to start tugging my hair as anger mixed with frustration racked through me. “Nora! Are you okay?” George's voice rang in my head, causing me to snap my head up and at once I locked eyes with him. With his hands folded in front of him, he began to walk cautiously towards me. “I can only imagine what is going on in your head right now.” Holding my shoulder, he said, “Are you alright?” “Not a

Having succeeded in pairing Karen with Nora, I have no doubts that my plan was going to click and it was going to follow that sequence until I ascended the throne. Pacing about my living room, I had my hands strapped across my chest as a smile played on my lips. “Your hardwork and resilience is gradually paying off.” Elder Richard said, eliciting a nod from me. With my gaze now fixated on him, I slowly lowered myself on the couch, leaning towards him with a smirk dancing on my lips. “Thanks to you, things are falling into place. I never expected Elder Tyler to show his support.” I laughed, clicking my tongue. “You can say that again. I was genuinely surprised when he attacked Nora. I had no idea that he would do something of that sort.” He chuckled. After a few minutes of silence, he clasped his hands and with h

    Carlos' POVThis was a dream come through and I doubt if I was going to forget this in a hurry. Each time I think of it, I can't help but thank the moon goddess for making me cross paths with Damon. Now, it wasn't as if I wasn't going to find my way out of the pack even if it was going to take a lot of time and maybe I might not succeed. Smirking, I crossed my hands on my chest, staring into space with a look of satisfaction on my face. Justin was yet to join us from Lycan Kingdom even after three weeks of our successful escape. I sighed at the rate my plans were moving swiftly. I was grateful Justin had a change of heart and decided to help me out.Nora on the other hand kept to her promise of going to war with me. It was a tacit agreement she had with me and I knew better than anyone how ruthless she can be when crossed.Nevertheless, I had no regrets as I knew what was at stake before going up against her. I wasn't bothered by the war which was coming up in three days, rather, I

    Elder Damon's POVThings kept moving on in the direction I wanted and I couldn't help but to thank my stars. Everything I had in mind to do was already planned out carefully and I doubt if there was going to be any flaw in my plans. My tools for destruction and launching of my plans were active not to talk of my spies who were loyal and were ready to do whatever I asked of them. After the secret meeting with Carlos, I returned home only to meet with one of my spies lurking around. “How long have you been waiting?” I asked, announcing my presence and at once he turned around and then did a curt bow. “I’m supposed to wait on you.” He replied as a bright smile spread across my lips. This was loyalty at the peak and I was already itching to get on the throne so the whole pack will bow to me and do my biddings.“We should talk inside.” I said, leading the way.A few minutes into our conversation, he le

    Nora's POVIf only I knew that the noise from last night was when the palace was being infiltrated, I would have reacted immediately even though I was a bit weak.“Dammit!” I dug my teeth into my lips as I clenched my fists by my side. At the moment, I was in the throne room with the elders who were lamenting about the situation at hand. My parents were taken from the palace, leaving behind only a handful of us and a few maids and guards who were useless; thanks to the substance consumed the previous night. “This is an abomination. Whoever must have done this must be an insider enemy.” Elder Tyler yelled, pulling himself to his feet. With his finger pointed at the throne, he went further to say, “The throne had been defiled.” Taking a deep breath, I said, “You have to calm down as everything is under control.” Before he could part his lips and start rambling, I quickly added, “I sent tropes out to find my parents and the rest of the captives. They should join us soon.”My words w

    Nora's POV It must have been over half an hour that we remained in the same position. While I bemoaned about my fate, Karen listened to me and he never ceased to comfort me but I couldn't be comforted. Justin had clearly stated in his letter that I was nothing but a weakling and I was the cause of the infiltration. His raw words were foreign to me as he had never said that to me before, but why now?This question kept ringing in my head but I had no answer to it. Then, there was Carlos, as sly as a fox. “If only I knew this was his plan all the while, I would have allowed him to leave the pack immediately he was hale and hearty.” I muttered, snapping my eyes shut. “Don't blame yourself, you did well. He is the one to be condemned as he took your kindness for granted making you look like a fool.” Karen said with a mild tone. “I'm not going to trust anyone, ever again. This is a lesson I learnt th

Nora was supposed to be killed at the Kingdom and not allowed to cross the borders but somehow, she and the army were able to defeat my army. “But the end result is still the same.” I smacked my lips, rubbing my palms in glee. With my hands folded behind me, I made my way out of my home and then began to head towards the palace, a bright smile on my face. The throne which I was always longing for was finally going to mine in a matter of hours. All I needed to do was to make sure the elders buy my ideas, in that way, they will have no choice but to listen to whatever I say and act accordingly. On arrival at the palace, I made my way to the throne room only to meet the elders seated with a mournful look on their faces. “Traitor.” Elder Tyler yelled, wielding his fingers at me.

Too weak to do a thing, I just stood there as she continued to squash me in a bear hug while muttering some words in my ears. When she finally pulled away from me, I attempted to wipe the tears off her face but she grabbed my hand mid air. “I'm sorry Nora, please forgive me.” She said, tears rolling down her eyes in torrents. “Come on mom, it's fine.” I flashed her a smile, rubbing her palm to soothe her. “That's not the case Nora.” Wiping her eyes with the back of her palm, she took in a deep breath. “I allowed Karen to mislead me. I was a toy in his game and he made sure to sway me with different talks to get what he needed.” Mother went on and on to talk of how Karen had used her but I didn't judge her a bit. If I was in her place, I would have done the same.

Finally, the whole ordeal of being kidnapped was over and now, another round of battle which I was mentally prepared for was lurking around.

Carlos' sudden appearance had made all my plans go to naught as I strongly believed that he hadn't acted on his own. He must have solicited help from Nora's kingdom and so I had to be extra careful while dealing with them. On arrival, I handed Nora to the physicians. I stood before King Salvador and Queen Dione, and the elders of the kingdom. I could see the concern etched on their faces as I recounted my tale."I am afraid Carlos had already poisoned Nora by the time I reached her," I said, my voice laced with feigned regret. "I managed to rescue her, but I had to escape quickly, as my army was vastly outnumbered."Queen Dione's eyes welled up with tears. "Oh, Karen, you're a hero! We can't thank you enough for saving our daughter."

It seemed like a lead was tied to his tongue, stopping him from lifting it. Frustration simmered within Justin during the ride to the Blue Lycans pack. Elder Callum suggested that they bring them to his kingdom. Until they find out exactly how to get Karen, Carlos wasn't safe in the werewolf kingdom.But as soon as they arrived, ominous news awaited them.The guards informed Elder Callum and Justin that an envelope had been discovered at the entrance of the throne room, sent by an unknown source.

With the description Vina had given to them, it seemed easy but since they embarked on the search for the location, they haven't been able to reach their destination. Exhausted, the men gathered under a large tree to catch their breath while Justin and the members of the Blue Lycan Kingdom who had offered to help them went over the directives again. Drumming his foot against the floor, Justin had a look of worry on his face. He believed that Karen had caught Carlos and now he was in grave danger. “Calm down.” It was Elder Callum who had accompanied them that spoke. He too was trying to trace Nora’s scent but it was to no avail. “I can't reach him through the mind link.” Justin replied, still hitting his foot against the floor with his hands crossed on his chest. His distress got to the point that he began to pace about, all in a bid to clear his

    The last thing Vina expected was a bloodied Carlos, looking half-dead and lying at the entrance of the room where Nora was kept hostage.“ Carlos!" She screamed but quickly placed her hand over her mouth, not wanting to attract the guards.With her eyes almost falling off its socket and her heart beating heavily against her chest, she swallowed hard as if that would stop her wobbling legs. Not even the fear of the guards could topple the scary scene before her.Vina stepped backwards, her palm over her mouth. “What am I going to do now? Nora-!” she questioned no one as her eyes darted around the place.Vina's heart racing, she rushed towards Carlos, her eyes fixed on his pale and battered face. She couldn't believe the state he was in - bruised, bleeding, and seemingly lifeless.

    THIRD POVSlowly, Vina moved her body which was aching slightly as she tried to snap her eyes open. After her encounter with Karen where he had dealt mercilessly with her, he had ordered his men to throw her into one of the rooms so she would die a slow and painful death. “Ugh! I'm not dead yet.” She muttered, finally snapping her eyes open as she pulled herself to a sitting position. It took a while before she could adjust to her environment, and when she tried to stand up in a bid to escape, she fell back on her behind with a little sigh. Wiping the blood that was on the side of her lips, she sucked her teeth, letting out a little grunt at the same time. If she was told before now that her collaboration with Karen was going to cause a lot of damage, she wouldn't have dared.Vina's eyes clouded over as she reminisced about the horrific event. She had thought that being Karen's mate would afford her some level of protection and care, but the memory of that fateful day still haunt

    Carlos' POV Standing in front of me was no other person than Karen, a smirk dancing on his lips. He wore an official coronation attire. A thick, black fur glistening in the light, perfectly groomed and sleek. His piercing yellow eyes seemed to burn with an inner fire, radiating confidence and authority. Pulling myself up, I tried to square off with him only for me to fall face first to the floor and the next thing that happened was a loud laughter that rang all over the hallway. “I knew you were up to no good so I decided to lurk around.” Smacking his lips with a shrug, he added, “Too bad you are yet to understand that I’m always one step ahead of you each time.” He hissed. “Why are you doing this? If you really love her like you claimed, you wouldn't hurt her this way.” I yelled, grasping the wall for support. Clicking his tongue, I was itching to hear what he had to say to me but he didn't speak. “You know…” Rub

The moment I saw Nora, the urge to save her hit me with so much force but somehow, I was able to hold back. Karen's eyes suddenly fixed on me with a smirk carefully plastered on it. That's when I realized that he must have known it was me.I glared at Karen, my eyes blazing with fury as he approached me with his men. He looked smug, too confident, and I knew I had to warn him."Game's over, Carlos," he growled, his voice low and menacing. "You're going down."I let out a scowl, my eyes gleaming with anger. "Oh, I don't think so, Karen," I responded, my voice dripping with condescension.With a sudden movement, he kicked me brutally, sending me crashing to the ground.
