LEO’S POVI have not been this happy, not in a long run. It is safe to say nothing will ruin my mood no matter what it is. I felt almost……alive. Something I thought I was void of feeling a long time ago. Indeed this is really the goddess way of showing me how I have more claim on her than my brothers. She might be our mate but is mine at the end.I analysed everything from the start and put everyone where they belong in order. Damien is a little bit too reserved and on my own findings, Natalia doesn’t fancy someone as such. Lucas in the other hand is a brat and it is a general principle that Natalia despise that also.And then there is me, who is flexible and could fit into any shoe. The perfect facade for Natalia to relay upon which she totally did. From the very start, I knew I had more chance with her than the rest of them and now, now that the deal have been sealed, I am now several steps ahead of then and I couldn’t just help the sinister smile displayed on my lips as I watched
NATALIA’S POVNo matter how much I want to do away with them, take my revenge on the spot and leave their messed up life for good, I couldn’t and in other to avenge my father I have to be patient which comes to having to deal with the triplet.Lucas’s action amounted to an even more intense hatred for the trio and my desire to retaliate is now doubled unlike never before. I want to pierce into their heart, creat a deep wound that will never heal, I want to shatter them, not with a sword no, I consider dead an easy escape for them after everything they did to me, they made me pass through.I want them alive but grovelled down to nothing. I want them to live in wreck, I want them ruined and reduced down to nothing. I want them to know how it feels to be ripped out of power and turned into a nobody at once. I want them to face the wreck of my rage. By the time I am done with them, they would regret the day they decided to invade our park and kill my father. I will avenge him no matter wh
NATALIA’S POVThe idea of freedom had always been a reach out future for me. Don’t get me wrong, not the freedom of finding a mate to spend eternity with like Mary would say, no. I considered that nothing but advanced slavery. To be tied down to a person for life? I don’t see myself doing that, especially not with the kind of mates I have.The type of freedom I always wanted is that of choice. When I choose freedom, I desire to be free. From everyone, from the emotional traumas that have hunted me for years, from the intense amount of grief I feel whenever I thought lingers on the concept of my father, from the strong zeal of revenge weighing me down each second of the day. That is the type of freedom I always wanted, and to get that, I would have to be free from the wreck of the triplet first.And to think that Leo is offering me just a tip of this freedom made my mouth water in the most weirdest way possible. This is a really tempting offer that I couldn’t just let go of. I have bee
NATALIA’S POVThree weeks later.“Are you sure you are fine? I mean I can cover up your shift for the rest of the day if you need a breath of fresh air. You look pale it’s worrying” Beth who was chopping the veggies beside me muttered for the umpteenth time. Through the course of these past few weeks, we have slowly become a bit close that we keep each other company during our shift. She too like myself had once being a member of another pack until her pack was invaded and she was captured and brought here as a slave. That is pretty the only thing we have in common but that doesn’t limit our getting along. “Oh come on Beth, I know I look white in the face but you are really blowing this out of proportion. I am a bit sick but I will be fine, I can manage I have managed worst so chill will you?I got this” I winked and exclaimed at the same time, wiping away the sweat on my forehead. I have probably sweat a litter my now. “If you say so then” she murmured, a bit of uncertainty still l
NATALIA’S POV“No no no no no! No!! Absolutely not! This is a nightmare. An utter and absolute nightmare. Not now, not ever!” an unexplained amount of energy was suddenly busting through my vein as I jolted out of the bed, running to the other side of the room as if the bed have anything to do with what just came into my mind.“Oh no! Please Goddess no. This cannot be, this can never be. I do not deserve this, not after everything I have been through. Being pregnant for my father’s killer? No! This is not my fate, not my destiny and would never be” I chanted as I stroll around the room in utter disorientation. I comb my hand through my hair in frustration, getting it all over the place in an attempt to move it away from my vision.Not pregnancy, this was not part of the plan, was never part of it and would never be. “I am probably just overreacting. Calm down Natalia, calm down and sort this out the write way, you might be wrong somewhere, some sort of miscalculations might have occur
AMELIA’S POVIt would have being me. It would have being me all this while but that bastard had to shove herself in the way of every of my success. I would have had a perfect life being a luna to one of the triplet, Leo to be precise but she just came into the picture and disrupt everything,I knew he was interested, he picked interest in me I know from the day of that mating ceremony but once he saw her everything changed. Once they all saw her, it was as if I was pushed to the shadow. None of them even look my way again. Not even when I asked for attention.I thought my last plan was going to end in a much preferred way but it actually backfired and instead of me to get even if it’s just one of the triplet to hate her, to despise her, they actually all get to be with her and fall for the bitch even more.Any other werewolf would have given up and let go of the issue but I am not any other werewolf, I am far from that. I am Amelia and I am going to get to the button of this, get what
DAMIEN’S POVWhen the maiden first walked into my study,my thought immediately goes to all those desperate werewolves who are yet to find their mates but then she mentioned Natalia and that sparked my interest considering Natalia have been ignoring for the past weeks. But when Kyle showed up, just his mood told me I need to listen to him with more urgency so I had to dismiss her. Kyle did not refer to a lot of things as problem and when he usually do, it really is problem. “What is it Kyle” immediately she was out and out of hearing range.“Your highness there is a situation that need your intervention you need to come with me at once and see for yourself” he replied seeming too eager to start moving which was unlike him.“What situation Kyle, I am already dealing with a lot here, I don’t need you to add to my frustration. Just speak up” I replied going right back to the unending amount of files in front of me.“Lucas seems to be in a situation at the moment” he replied.“Lucas can
NATALIA’S POVThey’re is no point hiding anything now. It’s all a matter of time and everything will be out in the open for everyone to see so might as well just say it out now for everyone to hear.When I left the clinic, Beth in tow, my mood skyrocketed real quick. From nervousness to rage and I walked straight to Lucas’s quarters no matter how much Beth tried to stop to. She kept telling me to calm down, there is a better way to do whatever I was going to do but I did not heed her words. Nothing is ever going to change, not until I clear out every bit of rage on my chest on him.Lucas was quiet the whole time I was trying to get into his thick skull the reality of what he had put me through, what I will have to deal with for the rest of my life because of him. I kept yelling and yelling, must of the time blaming myself for slagging. I was intensively fighting between a mental breakdown and anger that I had no idea we had company until two strong arms tear me away from Lucas.Only w
MICHEAL'S POVMy gaze moved from one elder to the other as speak, uttering words I knew I was going to put down at the end of everything. They have been trying to get me to have a meeting with them for ages and this was the first meeting we are having in a while, if not I could have dismissed them and left the room.I shouldn't be here when I have far more troubles to deal with and as I followed them with my eyes, I was wondering if there was any way at all that I could follow to ease all of these positions. It has been a tradition for every pack to have an elder whereas I see no point in it. They help in no way. All they do is bring up problems that will stress you even more even when you think you are managing the pack really well. There might be no way to get rid of them but I know for a fact that I am not going to tolerate them in any way. If they were tolerated by the past rulers then they should get ready for a change."I think reducing the rate of the tax at this point will b
DAMIEN'S POVMy gaze flickered from Lucas to Leo, still not believing that they were even thinking about doing that. This just confirmed to me that they do not know the gravity of the situation we are in."We can get into the pack, grab her, and then leave the pack all in one day. We can take as much time as we desire to bring her back to this place" That was Lucas, speaking wholeheartedly to Leo."And if we can even consider this in a broader sense, we can continue living there with her instead of coming back all the way here you know" Leo added his delusions all the while I observed them with wide unbelieving eyes."That will be a wise thing to do if we can be able to pull that out smoothly," Lucas remarked."Alright, alright, you all should slow down" Having heard enough of their bullshit, I chimed in immediately.They both turned to look toward me at the same time. They were so deep in their conversation that they had forgotten that I was still in their presence."I hope you two r
NATALIA'S POVI was happy.That is the word, happiness. You can never tell just how much loneliness has affected you until you are opportune to be in the presence of people again. It just so happens to be the best feeling and almost everything you think was a problem would end up being not an actual problem and was just created by your mind overthinking because you have no other person to share your thoughts with. I have been that way for the past months, just thinking and thinking my life away. The only time I had the chance to interact with anyone was when I paid a visit to the palace or when I was off to get my food supplies in the market. It has always been a routine. Stay at home for up to a week, go out to the market and the palace, and then come back to the loom of loneliness and silence. I had no idea that it was affecting me until now that I was blessed with the presence of other living beings."What do you desire to eat today?" Cole asked after he knocked on my door and I
LUCAS'S POV"What?" I asked Leo who was suddenly looking at me like I had managed to develop a second head in three seconds.He didn't budge, and I wasn't even sure if he heard my statement. He seems to be in a haze, deep in thought. "Leo? What the hell is wrong with you?" Damien, who was more closer to him asked while tapping him on the shoulder. This seems to have made him snap out of whatever hex that had suddenly befell him. "What?" I asked again, eager to know what was on his mind. "I think I know...." He slowly muttered, still falling back in thought."You know what?" It turns out I wasn't the only one eager to hear what he wanted to say because both Damien and I spoke at the same time, this time around."I think I know where Natalia is hiding" After some painful seconds of waiting, he finally spoke again, emphasizing any word he muttered."What do you mean by that? How did you know where she was hiding? Is that even possible?" I remarked, a deep frown playing on my face. I c
LEO'S POVI do not despise her. I just don't trust her. I am still failing to believe she ended up just finding herself with no motives. Let's face it, I am a very practical person. For us to find ourselves here, we spend days on end running. The keyword there has been running. We never stopped once, encountered numerous dangers on the way and because we are warriors, we aced it. So imagine just a defenseless lady going through all of these. I see no chance of her survival. Except if she was escorted here by someone experienced, who stays hidden behind the shadows. So it makes no sense to me that Damien blindly believed her and even allowed her to stay with us. I have tried multiple times to talk him out of it but he just wouldn't budge. He kept telling me he knew Micheal and in her explanation, there was no form of deception. It's frustrating that he can't just listen to me for once and agree that there is more to what she was saying than meet the eye. It doesn't help that he has
DAMIEN’S POV“And you think everything is going to be as we left it?” Lucas inquired, looking amusingly at me.“Of course not, things are going to change drastically, and above all, your personal items are going to be used by another set of people” I clarified.“Damn man, I will hate to rearrange. It is going to take painful weeks of working” Leo winced, slumping his shoulder against the rocky wall. “You can simply just move to another wing you know, there are numerous parts in the palace and it is enormous enough for you to change wing each week for two months so there is no reason to throw a tantrum” I proclaimed with a shrug.We were currently having a casual discussion on how things were going to be when we returned back to the palace after everything died down. We haven’t really brought forth who is supposed to role but I think we have now learned our lesson and are going to cross that bridge successfully when we get to it.“Not man, I choose to stay in that part of the palace f
STEVE’S POVI sat down at the single desk and chair in my room after I was done with my duty for the day. Making sure to lock my door first, I brought the pen and paper I was going to use to write the letter and placed it in front of me on the table.I wasn't sure what to write but I knew I had to write something very convincing if I really wanted them to believe my words were genuine and not just some created tales to come between them. Micheal is wise and would definitely deny anything of that nature has been plotted if they decide to approach him so I will need to come up with words convincing enough to make them just act and not go about asking.I twirled the pen in my hand multiple times for minutes on end, staring at the blank sheet in front of me and not knowing what to write.After additional minutes of silence and thinking, I finally came up with enough words to start up with. There won't be any need to greet so as they would know it was coming from someone from a higher leve
NATALIA’S POV“I thought you were dead at first and then news began to spread around the pack that the new leader was searching vehemently for you which was so confusing at that time. We searched too, hoping to reach you before any of them. We never gave up on our search and that faithful day we got you, it was purely coincidentally and you were just at the wrong place at the wrong time. The news got to us that guards would be surveying this part of the pack today and we were out to keep watch so we caught you thinking it was a guard. It doesn't help that you were dressed in men’s attire” Kyle explained with the others sitting at each side of him.I, on the other hand, was sitting on the opposite side of them and listening attentively.“I don't understand, I thought you went out with them that night?” I asked, referring to my mates. Confusion setting in.“No, we didn't. No one did because they informed no one that they were going anywhere. It was all a work of Micheal to get them corn
NATALIA’S POVWas I okay? I wasn’t even sure. I was so consumed by an immersed amount of shock that I had no idea whether I was okay or not. I was clueless as to how I was feeling. I swallowed loudly, the feeling so foreign to me after days of not being able to do that. My eyes trailed from one of their figures to another, trying to wrap my head around the fact that they were real and in front of me. Instinctively, I reached out to touch Kyle who was the one kneeling in front of me.My hand fell on his shoulder, a more confirmation that he was alive and in front of me. I wasn't hallucinating. Damn even if I was, why will I be seeing them of all the amount of people I missed.They were real. They were frankly genuine and were standing right in front of me. But the question that was stuck in my head was how did I not think about them all this while? How did I not remember and enquire about them? Now that my mates were no more, they should be the closest thing to a parent my kid would h
