Nora's POV
The sudden interruption sent my words back into my mouth and also made me realize that I had let my guard down once more.When I didn't respond to Karen who was fuming, he grabbed my arm and not minding the pains he was causing me because of his strong grip, he pulled me out of the ward, banging the door shut.He continued this way until we got to the garden which was devoid of any sound as the sun was up high in the sky.“Have you lost it?” He yelled, taking his position in front of me with his hands strapped across his chest.“Calm down!” I managed to say but instead of that to happen, he became even more furious, fist pumping the air.“We both know Carlos is up to no good, why do you keep allowing him to use you?” He yelled. “He doesn't love you, if he really does, he would not have rejected you.” He added.At this point, trying to calm him down was impossible. He wasn't going to listen to whatever ICarlos' POVWhen Karen came in earlier, I could see the spite and anger he was emitting from his eyes as he glared at me. On my part, I was furious with his sudden interruption. Just when I thought everything would be settled between me and Nora, he made his entrance and as usual, I bore the brunt of it. Still nursing my hurted feelings, Justin walked into the ward. He was about to take his leave when he halted suddenly. “How long have you been awake?” He asked. From the body language, I knew he was uncomfortable with our presence here, same as I was but I needed to win Nora back before thinking of anything else. She was my main priority and I wouldn't give up on her until I succeeded in getting her back to myself. “It's been a while.” He didn't wait for me to say anything more before he stormed out of the ward, banging the door shut. Pushing my hand into my hair, I let out a low groan with my lips in between my te
Nora's POV I wanted to ask Vina what all these was all about but I couldn't stop pondering on the question. Reviewing Vina’s words, I couldn't help but to wonder what had prompted her into asking that and for the records, I doubt if Karen and I acted like we were items. “Your silence says I’m right.” She broke the silence in the room as she turned her back on me. She was about to step out when I rushed to her side. Holding her arm, I swirled her to face me only to see a silly smile dancing on her lips. “What is going on? Why did you ask?” I voiced out my thoughts, urging her to speak with my gaze. Now seated on the edge of my bed, Vina leaned in and with her hand resting on my shoulder, she said, “I’m worried about you.” “What…” “You're stressed out, you need to get a lot of rest, Nora.” She pouted, trying to make me lie on my back but I was adamant. “Since
Carlos POVAs Karen made his way out, I suddenly felt my chest tightening. Something was definitely wrong and it was likely Nora. I ran swiftly towards the hospital ward, my eyes searching for her.As I got closer to the emergency ward, her scent hit me. It was indeed Nora and she was in the hospital. With shaky legs, I made my way towards where the doctors were trying to revive her. “Nora!” I called with a shaky voice, hitting her cheeks severally, trying to make her open her eyes but all to no avail. “She will be fine.” The doctor who was going after her before she slumped said, causing me to snap my head in his direction. I felt forlorn as I stared at her pale face. The doctor gently pushed me aside before turning to look at me. There was a faint smile on his face which made my pounding heart a little relaxed. “She is tired, hence her brain shut off all of its activities. She will need enough rest before she will get rejuv
Carlos' POV I was surprised to see Justin trying to tag along with us. I sent him a mindlink not to get involved in my issues. I was already feeling guilty towards his family. Although he was my beta, I know how much he was struggling to let go off my betrayal.That was one of the reasons I usually overlook his outburst at me. But then, this was my own issue. I was ready to place my life on the line in exchange for that of my Pack members and that's why I didn't struggle with the guards. The procession finally came to an end when we were in the middle of the training ground. It was same training ground used by all the warriors. It was also the place Nora had trained to become stronger." Karen-" “Can you feel the scent of defeat mingled with betrayal? ” He asked, looking around like this was the first time he was visiting this place. " What do you mean?" I asked, furrowing my brows.With a scoff, he stated." This was
Nora’s POVBlinking my eyes, I tried to focus my gaze but the bright sunlight which was seeping into my bedroom wasn't helping matters.Yawning, I threw my feet off my bed but before I could stand on my feet, mother rushed to my side and then aided me. “Are you alright?” She asked with a raised brow, her whole gaze fixated on me. “I am good.” I replied and that was the truth. I had been lacking rest for a while and now that I had rested, I was rejuvenated. Nodding, mother let go of me and I proceeded to use the bathroom after which I joined her. She didn't need to tell me the steaming cup of cocoa belonged to me before I grabbed the handle, taking a long sip of the delicious liquid. “Thank you mom.” I said, eliciting a nod from her coupled with a warm smile. Rubbing my arm, she didn't say any word to me as I continued sipping from the cup until it was empty. “Do you want another one?” She asked and I shook my head in the negative.Now resting on my shoulder, I allowed her to r
Nora's POV Now with Carlos, I had to apologize for Karen's misconduct which he waved off like it was nothing. The fresh bruises on his body was nothing but a testament of the duel he must have gotten involved in with Karen. Taking my gaze from him, I began to stare into space. I couldn't afford to look back at him, the numerous scars on his body made me guilty. “Nora, permit me to return to my pack and build it.” He said and unable to resist staring at him, I snapped my head in his direction. “Don't get me started Carlos! You're fully aware of the danger that pack holds yet you feel you will be able to survive a day there.” I rolled my eyes at him. “You underestimate me too much. I know you are stronger than me for I’m just an alpha wolf and not a Lycan but I’m strong.” He paused before saying. “I can't be a refugee in another pack with my members. I need to tell them that indeed I’m a leader and their lives and w
Nora's POV It was one of the new maids who was behind the door. “You want to say something to me?” I raised my brow at her as she folded her hands in front of her. “Yeah!” She looked over her shoulder before returning her gaze to me. “A couple from the pack which was infiltrated are here to meet with you.” She reeled. There was no need for any further description because the couple mentioned here were my foster parents. Without wasting anymore time, I quickly hurried down the hallway only to meet my foster parents but I only saw my mother. She was pacing about at the entrance of the palace hallway which led to my chamber. The moment my foster mother saw me, she ran to my side and then held my arm and then began to rub it with a bright smile etched on her face. I still can't get enough of her love towards me. In fact, my two mothers were my emotional pillars. " Mother, you don't need permission to come to me. Just mention your name and you will be brought to my chambers. Or you
THIRD POVDamon was furious. At the moment, he was in the woods, pacing about as he racked his head on what might have gone wrong. All of his efforts to lay claim to the throne were thwarted, making him look like a failure.Several times, he approached King Salvador, trying to sway him but he was so smart that he got the hint almost immediately and as if that wasn't enough, he slid off like he was an eel. He was still in this position when Elder Richard appeared in front of him and after looking around for a while, he locked gaze with him. “Putting pressure on the rest of the elders seems impossible.” He blurted, making Damon clench his fist by his side as he grunted in agony. “Elder Fred! What is his take in this?” “Just like the others!” He mouthed and after a few minutes of silence, he leaned towards him and with a voice barely above a whisper, he said, “I don't think you can overthrow Princess Nora.”Hi
Reader's POVWith the Ancient Clan now destroyed, peace and calm returned to the packs. It had been two months since the war and ever since then, Nora had been living like every other wolf, not having any of her past memories.The only thing she remembered was that she was in love with Carlos, the son of the Alpha, nothing after that. Living with her foster parents who she still believed were her biological parents, she found her footing once more as she began to bond with them and those that were around her as she lived her normal life. “Nora!” Her mother has called. “I'm coming, please hold on.” She yelled back at her and when she finished the task she was working on, she rushed to join her. “I'm sorry, I had to tidy up.” She said, rubbing her hand on her forehead.Smiling lovingly at her, her mother held her cheek with a hand while using the other to trace the outline of her jaw. “I wish you we
Nora's POVInstead of the pain to come as I had expected, I felt nothing. The dagger which I had been holding onto had been flung from my hand, causing me to snap my eyes open. The person that appeared in front of me made me stagger backwards with my lips parted and with a shocked expression on my face. For a moment, the world seemed to have gone still as I stared at the people in front of me. Back at the forest, Karen had died in my hands and then Carlos' whimper made me run to his side only for him to breathe his last almost immediately. Taking in a deep breath, I pushed my hand into my hair, trying to speak but I couldn't find my voice. “What is going on here?” I asked, alternating my gaze from Elder Silvarum to Carlos with a relieved look on my face but at the same time I was curious and shocked. Not saying a word to me, Elder Silvarum tightened his grip on Carlos who was standing next to him. Ignoring my curious mind, I ran to meet with Carlos with a bright smile on my fac
THIRD POV Carlos who was still battling with the wound from the arrow tried to pull himself to his feet but he couldn't as he didn't have anything to lean on. Crawling on his belly, he finally made his way towards a tree trunk and with all the strength he could muster, grabbed the tree and then got on his feet but he still couldn't move his foot. Wincing in pain as he clutched his upper chest where the arrow had pierced him, he watched as Reika and her opponent found tirelessly. Taking his gaze off the fighting wolves, he allowed them to land on Karen who was lying on the ground weakly. After handing the pendant to Nora, he lost all of his strength and then returned to his normal self. Staring at him in anger, the only thing ringing in Carlos' head was to finish him off in his vulnerable state but he couldn't bring himself to do it. Thanks to his timely arrival where he had given Nora the pendant, else it would have been something else by now. “He saved Nora.” He muttered, bit
Reader's POVCarlos ran to his pack in his wolf form, not even bothering to stop for a moment. His main focus was to make sure Nora's mother returns to the kingdom alive and also to keep Nora safe. He ran swiftly through the forest, his paws pounding against the earth. He was headed to his pack's territory, his mind preoccupied with the recent events. But as he turned a corner, he suddenly found himself face to face with a shocking surprise.He halted abruptly, trying to understand what was playing out in front of him. Aria was killed with her father together with Lycan rogues who wanted to wipe out his pack but here she was standing at the borders. Blinking his eyes, he said, “You are supposed to be dead, what are you doing here?” He asked, still trying to understand what was going on. Laughing hysterically, Aria tossed her head backwards as she crossed her hands on her chest. Aria stood before him, a sly grin spreading across her face. She was surrounded by Karen's men, their
Reader's POVJust before Karen could hit her with the deadly blow, Queen Dione leapt into the air, pushing him off Nora, hence shielding her from the impact. After this, Queen Dione fell to the ground with a thud as she let out a low wince while Karen stood aside baring his canines. The force which Karen had released, an ordinary lycan even if it was poisonous doesn't possess such power. Shaking the thought off her head, Nora fell next to her mother, as she tried to make her sit up but her mother was weak, thanks to the encounter she had with Karen a while ago. From the look of things, Nora was quick to realize that Karen was not the same one she knew before. Of course, he was now a poisonous Lycan and now his eyes were turning into a dark red color as he seized Nora in a bid to tear her apart.Just when Nora was about to charge towards him to tear him into pieces a strange and loud howl rented the air and then a strong wind blew Nora and her mother off the battleground . The
NORA POV My head was almost bursting with different questions and emotions at the same time as I wondered what he had thought of my request. Snapping my eyes shut, I parted my lips, “Carlos please, we have to do this.” I said with a tone of urgency. “If you delay, it's going to be disastrous.” I said in a bid to convince him. “I'm not rejecting you Nora!” He said with a chuckle that made me at ease. “I was taken aback with the sudden request, that's all.” He shrugged and once again, I let out the breath I had been holding back as I anticipated what he was going to say to me. “ Another thing, we need to seal the bond at the cave of the goddess." "Here, at the goddess cave?" Carlos asked, his eyes widening in surprise."Yes, it's the only place we can be sure our bond will be recognized by the gods and there is another meaning to it too," I explained.Rubbing my forehead, I wanted to explain the reason why I brought up the suggestion but he just smiled in understanding. I watched
Nora's POVIt was now two weeks since the death of my father and all I can say was, the days were getting longer and longer. Mother had regained consciousness and I was happy about it but still I was aggravated as I kept blaming myself for the death of my father. "Mother, I'm so glad you're awake," I said, tears of joy streaming down my face as I hugged her tightly."Nora, my child," she whispered, her voice weak but full of love. "I'm so proud of you. You're strong, just like your father."I nodded, my resolve hardening. "I will make sure those responsible for his death pay, Mother. I vow to wipe out every last one of the Ancient clan."My heart was heavy with grief but my spirit burning with determination. I would see this through, no matter what it took. The Ancient clan would pay for what they had done.During these two weeks it had been Carlos who had been by my side, otherwise, I would have lost my sanity long ago. I couldn't think straight anymore but he was there to help and
Nora's POVNodding slowly, Elder Callum said, “Karen is Alpha Jasper's son.” “Then he must be a one of the poisonous rogues. How come we didn't find out about it much early.” I ratted out as my heart beat increased. Terrified, I began to clench and unclench my fists as I thought of what Karen must have done, knowing that he was a poisonous Lycan. Just when I was about to start running my mouth, Elder Callum stepped up, “You don't have to worry about it too much. There is no way Karen would turn into a poisonous Lycan.” He said in a carefree manner that made me raise my brow at him. He said it himself that Karen was the grandson of Alpha Draco then he must definitely be a poisonous Lycan, what was he insinuating. “Karen was raised here and not in the Ancient Clan so he is not poisoned.” He took a pause before he continued. “The only way he can get poisoned is if he gets hold of that pendant…” I listened intently as Elder Callum revealed the shocking truth about Kaden. "So, he's
Karen's POVSeeing the members of the Blue Lycan Kingdom guarding Carlos' pack was a surprise to me. With Carlos now rendered invalid, I thought I would be able to raze down his pack to the ground only to be faced with a dangerous twist. As if that was not enough, Carlos was wheeled forward and immediately I let out a loud laughter filled with anger and regret. “I should have killed you when I had the chance.” I yelled, baring my canines at him. With my hand stuck in my hair, I sent my teeth into my lips, biting it with no mercy as anger ran through my veins. If only I had remembered that Carlos had an alliance with the members of the Blue Lycan Kingdom, I wouldn't have left a breath in him. Now, there was no use crying over spilled milk. It's time to restrategize and come up with the perfect solution. With this in mind, I stepped forward and with an intimidating look and gaze, I yelled, “You are Lycans, why are you allowing a mere werewolf to be in charge of you?” I yelled, gl
