Omega to Alpha 48. Responsibilities
Dante's povAs I began to unpack the last of the boxes from the old palace, memories flooded back to me. Memories of a time when things were easier, and I didn't have to worry about the weight of the kingdom's affairs on my shoulders. I carefully arranged the files in the cabinet, making sure to separate my personal work from that of the kingdom's, as there were bound to be a surplus of important documents.As I worked, my mind drifted to Charlotte, and the little boy that was my son. My heart ached as I thought of her, wondering how my mate would take the news. But then, another thought entered my mind, and with it, a sense of dread. Athena had been acting strange since giving birth to our child. I couldn't tell if it was the disappointment of having a girl, or if it was something deeper, something that stemmed from my desire for a male heir. But either way, she worried me, and I couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong.I made my way back to my room on the second floo
Omega to Alpha 49. Saving the Queen
Athena's POVTears cascaded down my eyes watching my mate leave with my child. My child!I wasn't prepared to be a mother. it felt awkward having to breastfeed a child...a child from my womb. I wanted nothing to do with it...but I couldn't watch it die. I realized how much I loved her.Even if Dante wouldn't grow to like her, I made up my mind to be everything she would ever want in a mother.I would make sure she doesn't go through the pain I went through as a girl child.She would be stronger than I ever was.She was my priority.I looked out the window. I succeeded in breaking a portion, but it wasn't enough to grant me an escape without tearing my skin.I groaned in pain, making more impact. Every hit pierced my knuckles. The distance from the second floor to the ground was enough to break me to pieces. But there was a slim chance for survival if Sue helped me with the jump. My baby needed me. I would give her a beautiful name as soon as I have her back in my arms. Cosmo, bec
Omega to Alpha 50. Mate or Heir
Dante's POVFear gripped me, watching my mate stand before Charlotte.I had no other choice but to take Athena along with me. I said nothing to Charlotte, but I mind-linked Tyler.He was in charge of her. Why didn't he do his job?"Athena please, stay here," I turned to her, making her sit on one of the chairs in the hallway. She finally agreed. I pulled Charlotte out of the castle, the little boy ahead of us."can you explain this?" I asked Tyler, still clinging on to Charlotte, who was beginning to wince from my tight grip."I have nothing to do with this, My King," Tyler confessed.The same moment Charlotte voiced out beside me,"I came myself. I couldn't watch you suffer, my King."My brows were furrowed as she spoke."What nonsense. I warned you never to step feet into this place," I spat angrily."I heard the news of the birth of your child and I knew you might be disallowed the position if you didn't provide a suitable heir."My gaze met that of Tyler, swallowing hard.She was
Omega to Alpha 51. Memory Flashes
Athena's POVI recognized his face. I remembered his name. I could see flashes of fire and a woman attacking me, but that was all."Is anyone trying to kill me?" I panicked, taking his hands as though he had all the answers to my question."No one's trying to kill you. You're safe now," he answered."What about the baby? Our baby?" I asked, attempting to get up, but he held me still."The baby is fine and she's asleep. Tell me, what can you remember?""There was a woman. I saw her but I can't make out her face," I replied, staring vaguely at the carpets, forcing myself to remember everything that happened before the fire.I rose my gaze at him, "Why? you look worried? Do you know her?"He gestured a no and stood up immediately."I'll be back. Stay with her," he ordered the nurse without giving me a second look.I walked up to Cosmo's cot, and took her in my arms."Someone's trying to kill us, but the King and I wouldn't let them," I spoke with my child like she could understand me.
Omega to Alpha 52. Saved by a Lie
Dante's POVI was preparing to leave one of my endless meetings when Tyler mind-linked me,"The Queen tried to attack her own baby, My King.""What nonsense are you saying, Tyler?" I questioned, unable to believe his words."We found her transformed in front of the baby. She was probably about to tear it apart when we rushed in."My brows were creased. Athena had grown to love her child even more than she loved me. There was no way she could kill our child.I rode back home hastily, after rescheduling the other meeting I had with the council."Where is she?" I yelled at the guards at the entrance to the Palace."She was tied up in the basement, my King," one of them replied.I slapped him hard on the cheek."How dare you tie up the Queen! My Mate!" I roared. I couldn't contain my anger. In no time, the blood of the guard was all over the place as I ripped him apart.I ran up the stairs, toward the basement, while mindlinking Tyler."Who gave you that order!" I growled, making my way t
Omega to Alpha 53. Forced Vacation
Dante's POVI found her knitting in front of a mirror, with the boy playing with a toy train on the floor.I locked the door when I entered. She stood up frightfully, the woolen cloth dropped to the floor.I hit her on the face, "How dare you try to ruin my family?" I gritted.She gasped, sobbing quietly."Don't beat my mother," the boy shouted, running towards her and holding on to her dress.I looked down at him.It was hard for me to accept him as my son, though he looked so much like my younger self."Next time I find you both lurking around, I'll make sure I feed you to prisoners," I spat angrily. "and you..." I dragged the boy toward me, "I don't want you playing outside. Is that clear?"His eyes began to water. I stepped away from him and resumed my full height."Now, listen carefully. Some important guests would be coming tomorrow and I need you to act your best self, including him."I mind-linked the maid expected to dress them up. A knock came the same moment.It was a ma
Omega to Alpha 54. His Obsession
Dante's povOnly two of the council members were present-- Mr. Fernhad Perkand Mr. Russ Bale.I didn't so much like Russ, unfortunately he seemed to be in charge."I'm sure the King must have discussed with you why we're here. Right King Dante?" Russ asked, calling my name but facing Charlotte."We don't have the whole day, Mr. Russ. Let's get started already," I cut in, shooting Charlotte a threatening look.If I hadn't stopped him, I was sure she would have said something foolish as her lips parted."Very well then. Charlotte White?" am I correct?""Y...yes" she stuttered, looking down as she spoke."Do you have a problem with my looks or is it just your form of showing respect, Queen Charlotte?" "Everyone knows how intimidating you can be, Mr. Russ. Unfortunately my mate isn't comfortable around you two," I replied, biting my tongue. It felt like I was betraying Athena by addressing another woman as my mate.I caught her surprised look, but I retained my straight face since I kne
Omega to Alpha 55. Charlotte Speaks
Dante's POV"Do you realize the gravity of your words?" I asked slowly, my eyes fixed on her creased brows."Yes, King Dante and I also know I said nothing wrong. It's the truth...""Quiet!" I roared, stepping toward her. This was not the Charlotte I knew. It was somebody else entirely.I was able to shut her up, watching her pant heavily."Ben, go back to the room," she said to the boy, who sat watching us both."But mum, I'm not done eating..." Ben retorted, my eyes still fixed on Charlotte."I said go to the room!" she yelled again.This time, he got up grudgingly, stamping his feet on the floor and running out of the dining."You haven't changed Dante. You're still the beast you've always been. I'm so sorry for poor Athena. When she finally finds out about your true nature..." Before she completed are words, I choked her neck tightly, with gritting teeth,"You know nothing about me and you keep her name out of your mouth... you slut," I warned, fastening my grip until she began

He's saved us twice," Sue scolded one afternoon, when I got back from visiting the construction at the borders.Dante also built the training center as promised at the center of both kingdoms.I tried not to believe her.

She nodded a response, as I noticed how feebly she looked."What's wrong?" Kevin asked."She passed out earlier.""I know a safe place she can stay untill we clear the mess around here," Kevin hadn't completed his statement when Cosmo began to throw up. Kevin rushed to carry her and ran. I trailed his steps, scared for my daughter's life. Her bod
Omega to Alpha 85. Final Showdown
Dante's POV"Who are you?" I demanded, turning around. It was pitch black but I saw two blood shot eyes glowing."A prisoner, just like you're now. You smell like fresh blood.""I'm not a prisoner," I corrected, ignoring who ever it was as I tried to find my way out."It's a waste of time," the voice said.I was beginning to believe the words until I felt a door knob. But, it pulled open without my effort. I backed away as three men barged in to me, holding lamps. "What have you done, Dante!" the man in front, with thick beards roared, while the other two men held me down."Have we met?" I asked, without regard for the authority he seemed to command.There was a loud noise coming from outside. Like a war. Then I realized my warriors were around, giving me more courage."How dare you come into my kingdom to cause havoc!" I caught a view of the turbulence outside behind him. It was a bloody sight. It was hard to tell who was winning the fight. "I presume you're the vampire Lord, ar
Omega to Alpha 84. Saving Cosmo
Athena's POVMy heart pounded heavily as we got into the surroundings of a large mansion. I had Cosmo climb on my back before we passed the rocky slope. Her weight slowed me down, as the witch led all through.I saw a large mansion, and my uneasiness only grew wild.She pulled me back as I continued toward it,"We have no business with the Vampire Lord, remember? It's this way," she said.We took the first turning to our right and proceeded down a flight of stairs that had mosses and spirogyra growing all over its surface."Where's this place?" I asked, in awe."the sacred grounds. It was the same place my people were killed and sacrificed. We would most certainly encounter opposition here. It's never left unguarded."I instinctively clutched my arm around Cosmo's wrist on my neck as we continued down the multiple stairs.She gestured for me to stop, her eyes glistening as she looked around us.A piercing cry struck me. Cosmo's cry. "Cosmo!" I yelled as I pulled her from my back to t
Omega to Alpha 83. Vampires' quarters
Dante's POV"I need your help," I broke the surprise on his face as I approached the front deck."How may I be of use to the King?" Tony asked with his crooked voice, broken with old age."The Vampire Lord. I need to know him. I need to find him. Is that too much to ask of you tonight?""My King, does not believe in sorcery. I'ld rather not bother you," he said with a bow."It's an order, Tony. It's the only chance I have. Get on your horse. Are your legs too feeble to ride?" I enquired, as he pulled an Arabian horse toward me, immediately I made the order."My skills are very much intact. my major concern is our sudden visit to the vampires. Their powers are twice as much now," he suggested, brushing the hair of his horse like one preparing for an honorary visit. "That's why you're coming with me. Do whatever you have to do.""I'm stricken with age Alpha. I'm not the best man for a fight. I can only see in part. That's the only power I have. We may need back up."We rode out of the
Omega to Alpha 82. Dry Bones
Athena's POVThe pack's healers fed the witch with herbs she'd requested herself, pointing at trees around, including wolfsbane.I squatted beside the old witch, watching how she rolled the herbs into several balls, applying the juice into every opening on her face, including her nostrils.She kept a few of the balls in her clothing,"We may need some of these. Just in case," she said.Behind me was a troop. The entire pack, arranged according to their war experiences and agility. The feeble ones amongst us were made to converge at the middle. An order we've maintained since our conception as a pack, forming a defense against the weak. Everyone prepared their weapons. Animal horns, drenched with liquid silver and wolf bane, arrows, daggers, and spears. The only weapon I had with me was the witch who seemed to know alot about our enemy."We don't have much time," the witch said in a crooked tone groaning in pain as she got back on her feet.She held a walking, but what she did with
Omega to Alpha 81. Sinister Affair
Dante's PoVI was confused. Someone was in there with her. Who was it that made her laugh more cheerfully than I ever made her? After all my efforts at making things work. Why did they choose to hide in such filth?"I don't know what's going to happen now that he's marked me. We might have to cut our seeing,"Charlotte's whisper reached my hearing even louder. There was no mistaking her voice. I followed her scent. The surprise clouded my reasoning of what could be.I was more interested in knowing how the conversation would end. I wanted to find all the answers without having to confront both of them yet my rage boiled like wild fire."His reign is for a while. We've come this far. Very soon, we'll form our own empire. I'm tired of staying in the dung. But, anything to be with you.""You flatter me.""Some day we're gonna have this on his bed. Make you moan and cry my name.""That's too risky. He'll kill you.""I've never been afraid of death. You're quick to forget my status. I'm

Dante's POVAlarmed, she scanned my face and the flowers in my hands.I didn't know what to do but my heart raced.She had to say something. I desperately wanted her to accept my offer before I changed my mind. After all, that was what she always wanted. The moment only grew more awkward and to my amazement she dashed out of my presence."Charlotte!" I yelled, dumping the roses in my hands to chase after her. She tripped on her dress but I caught her before she got up."That's not how to treat your husband, the king!" I raised my voice. It was too late to caution myself, as tears began to stream down her face."I'm sorry," I managed to say, looking into her eyes to soften the moment."There's no doubts, you're drunk again," she responded, pulling away from me and running towards the palace.I watched her run from me, heaved a sigh before trailing her footsteps.I didn't expect her to be difficult.I had to end all of it today. I had to prove to my mother that all she wanted from At
Omega to Alpha 79. Mending Hearts
Dante's POVShe was gone. I scoured every conceivable place, desperately searching for her, but she eluded me. My mother made it even more challenging for me to forget."Have you looked into neighboring packs? Don't you care about your daughter at all?" my mother interrogated one morning during breakfast."I've done everything I can, mother. There are no packs around save the vampires. Besides, She's better off without me," I replied, burdened with overwhelming guilt."Immersing yourself in strong wine and distancing yourself from your family won't lead to healing, my son. Find my grandchild as soon as you can."Her words struck me with such force that I dropped my cutlery in frustration, unable to bear the weight of her unending accusation."And what about Ben? Charlotte is the Queen Mother. It was wrong for me to have fallen in love with a werewolf in the first place. This is my way of setting things right, just as you wanted," I snapped back, muffled by the towel on my lips as I re
