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
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
Elder Damon's POVEven though the motive of the war was met, I was not satisfied with the outcome as I felt it didn't go as planned. 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.
Carlos’ POV Looking over my shoulders to ascertain no one was coming behind me, I quickly threw my hood over my head and then stole into the night.Walking hurriedly like someone was after my life, I made sure I kept on with this pace until I got to the borders. At first, I didn't see anyone but on a closer look, my eyes fell on a man dressed in black cloak. “Damon.” I called, hurrying to his side. Now a few feet away from him, I folded my hands in front of me and then did a curt bow. “I’m sorry to have kept you waiting. Sneaking out of the palace became tedious.” I muttered. “You don't have to apologize. I just arrived too.” He said in a carefree tone, making me let out a relieved chuckle. “Thanks to you, everything is going on smoothly.” He said, with a shrug. “I'm just fulfilling my end of the bargain. I need to make sure everything goes on smoothly so at the end of it all no one would hold grudges.” I
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
Nora's POVAt the end of the revelation, the orb shone more brightly, causing me to step backwards and fall on my behind as I shielded my eyes with the back of my palm. “Finally.” I muttered, pushing my hand into my hair as I let out a grateful sigh. I was back in the room where the orb was placed. For a moment, I remained in my position with my teeth holding my lips as I darted my eyes around.“Karen didn't even tell me the whole story.” I muttered. Tugging my hair with both hands, I said, “No wonder they were finding it difficult to speak.” I finally got the reason for their actions as I slowly pulled myself to my feet. I felt my eyes widening as the revelation hit me like a ton of bricks. The orb's power coursed through me again, and I could feel my heart racing with a mix of emotions. But before I could even process what I had just learned, everything went dark.When I regained consciousness, memories of everything I saw c

Reader's POV After a successful escape, Princess Esmeralda ran all the way to the forest which was his hideout. It didn't take long for her to locate the cave which was his abode and immediately she got in, she stepped backwards with her hands around her mouth. Lying at her feet was her mate who looked so battered and weak. It seemed like he had been beaten up mercilessly by the pack soldiers. Falling on her knees, Princess Esmeralda tried to make him sit up but the groans which erupted from his lips terrified her so much that she had to give up trying. Still contemplating on what to do, she began to look around the place but it was shabby. “Draco.” She called, leaning over him with a loving look on her face. Tracing his face with her fingers, she went ahead to say, “I have escaped from my kingdom.”Surprised, he mustered all of his energy to sit up and with a look of worry on his face, he asked, “Why? Why will you do that Esmeralda?” “My father wouldn't let me get mated to yo
Reader's POV“ Esmeralda!" A faint mysterious voice called out as a beautiful woman appeared, making Nora gasp.Radiating with excitement and so much energy, Princess Esmeralda who was in her thirties was running around the garden, the smile on her face neatly stamped on it. Princess Esmeralda's laughter echoed through the garden, her long, curly brown hair bouncing with each step. Her bright green eyes sparkled with joy, and her pink lips curved into a radiant smile. She was lost in the simple pleasure of running, feeling the warm sun on her skin and the soft grass beneath her feet.Suddenly, a strong arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her close. She squealed in surprise, her eyes widening as she turned to face her captor. A handsome man with chiseled features and piercing blue eyes gazed back at her, his dark hair messy and endearing."Ha!" she exclaimed, her cheeks flushing with delight. "What are you doing here?"
Nora's POVThere was something on the other end of the door that was calling out to me and not until I got it, I wasn't going to return to normalcy. Unable to hold back anymore, I charge towards the door, crushing it to the ground with my wolf strength and revealing my attraction. It was a shining orb. It looked so small but it had so much strength that had kept pulling me in and had eventually caused me to push the door down. Still standing there and admiring it, mother made her way to my side with her hand still folded on her chest. “Are you certain you are ready for this?” She asked, eliciting a low grunt from me. My initial request was a confirmation of Karen's story but she brought me here instead, piquing my interest.There was no going back now or anytime soon. Until I found out what is in that orb or what it signified, I wasn't going to leave. “Since you're curious, it wouldn't
Nora's POV With her eyes glistening with tears, mother ran into the study, pulling me into a tight hug that I felt my breath being cut off. 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.
