Nora's POVIt's been one week since the day Justin warned me about Uncle Damon. I had continued monitoring his movements and anyone he had contact with. Even with the vigilance of my secret team, I couldn't get my hands on any incriminating evidence against him.His movements had been around the kingdom and meetings with some pack leaders that my father had delegated to him.The sun was a little higher than usual and I lay on the cold grass, absorbing its chills so as to keep cool. I had just finished my noon training with my men. The rogues on our territory were becoming a little rampant but unlike the ones that invaded the Eagle Pack, these ones were just the regular Lycan rogues.I was still relaxing when a message came from my father and I got up quickly. He wanted me to meet with Uncle Damon for some pack issues.I was on my way to meet with Uncle Damon to discuss issues pertaining to the pack with him as instructed by father when Vi
Carlos' POVThis was a dream come true for me. After several nights of thinking of how I would return to the pack with my followers, it was finally coming to life and each time I thought about it, my excitement knew no bounds. At the moment, I was in the training ground, waiting for my followers who were supposed to join me. Slowly, they began to trickle in and after performing a head count of the people present and was satisfied with the number, I decided to commence the meeting. “After several months of being refugees, we are returning to our pack and laying claim to it as it should be.” My voice was filled with excitement and I was expecting the same from them but they were all mute. Thinking I wasn't loud and clear enough, I repeated my words, this time around, throwing my hands in the air to show the extent of my excitement but it was the same reaction as the first. “What is going on?” I couldn't help but ask.
Nora's POVCarlos 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.C
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
Nora's POVThese days I have been stressing too much as nothing seems to be going well for me. The news continued to spread like a wildfire without control and it wouldn't be long before I would be summoned to face the elders again.Lying on my bed with my gaze fixed on the ceiling, I bit my bottom lips in a bid to stifle the scream that was about to erupt through them.“When are all these going to end?” I muttered, shutting my eyes tightly.Grasping the sheets, I continued digging my teeth into my lips until I drew out blood. 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
Uncle Damon’s POV Finally, the long awaited war was here. This was the time I was waiting for to unleash my plans and this time around I'm going to succeed with this. 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
