2024-01-27 09:07:15POV: DYLAN
The revelation ignites an inferno of fury within me, my teeth clenched tightly, and a ferocious snarl escaping from deep within my chest.
"Where is she?" I demand, my voice a thunderous growl, my eyes narrowing with unwavering determination.
His trembling voice tremors as he responds, "I... I don't know, sir." The fear that emanates from him is palpable, and I can sense his genuine lack of knowledge regarding Daliah's whereabouts.
My frustration reaches its boiling point, and with a final surge of anger, I release my grip on him. He crumples to the ground, his body shuddering with both pain and terror. The answers I seek elude me, and my mind races, contemplating the next course of action.
"Find her," I command, my voice icy and authoritative. "Search every corner of this territory until you locate her. And bring her back to me unharmed. Failure is not an option."
With a mixture of fear and determination, the guard nods, his understanding of the urgency and consequences of his task evident.
As he scurries away, I am left with a simmering wrath, fueling my resolve to reunite with my mate, to shelter her from harm, and to exact vengeance upon those responsible for her suffering.
POV: LIAM
Feeling refreshed after my morning routine, I make my way to Dylan's office, brimming with determination for the day that lies ahead.
Without bothering to knock, I stride confidently into the room, my presence commanding the attention of all those present.
Dylan, seated in his chair, is flanked by the former Alpha and Luna, accompanied by two other men who also rise to their feet, offering respectful bows in acknowledgment of my arrival.
Maintaining a veneer of civility, we exchange cordial greetings as I take my seat in a chair strategically positioned to face the new Alpha.
The atmosphere in the room crackles with an undercurrent of tension, the weight of unspoken issues lingering between us. It is in this charged space that we now find ourselves, ready to address the challenges and decisions that lie before us. As I settle into my seat, my gaze locks onto the new Alpha, a steely determination evident in my eyes. It is clear that this meeting holds significant importance, and I brace myself for the discussions and negotiations that will shape the future of our pack. "I found my mate among your pack," I assert, my voice filled with a mix of determination and accusation.
The expressions on their faces betray their prior knowledge, an uneasy tension hanging in the air.
Dylan's brows furrow, a flicker of interest crossing his features, while the others attempt to mask their reactions with forced cheers, their caution evident in their strained demeanor.
"She was locked away in the dungeons, subjected to the unspeakable actions of your guards," I state with a seething disgust.
Dylan's fury mirrors my own as I continue to recount the grim details, holding nothing back.
The room grows heavy with an electric silence as my words hang in the air, each syllable etching deeper into the consciousness of those present. The weight of the injustice inflicted upon my mate fuels the fire within me, demanding justice and retribution.
"I will kill them," Dylan declares, his voice filled with an unyielding determination. A sardonic smile tugs at the corners of my lips as I respond, "Already have." The satisfaction in my voice is palpable, a testament to the swift and ruthless justice I had enacted.
Seeking answers, I lock my gaze on Dylan, my eyes penetrating his restless and uncomfortable demeanor. I can sense his involvement, and I demand the truth. "What happened? Why did they arrest her?"
His eyes dart nervously, attempting to evade my piercing scrutiny. A fleeting moment of hesitation passes before he takes a deep breath, gathering himself to respond. "Don't make a fool of yourself; it's already starting to piss me off," I retort, my patience wearing thin. I refuse to entertain his facade.
His expression shifts, shortly offended, but he wisely chooses not to challenge me further. Instead, he takes another deep breath, visibly collecting his thoughts, and places his arms on the table, looking up at me.
It is a silent acknowledgment that he can no longer hide behind lies and half-truths and that the time for transparency and accountability has arrived.
Dylan's words hang in the air, their weight sinking deep into my consciousness. Silently, I repeat the name "Daliah" to myself, each syllable leaving an indelible mark within my mind. The sound of it resonates with a profound beauty, a melody that aligns perfectly with the essence of the girl who has not only captured my attention but has also stolen my heart.
A smile tugs at the corners of my lips as I envision her, her name now carrying an even deeper meaning.
Saga's voice echoes within me, concurring with my thoughts. "It suits her," he affirms, an agreement that further solidifies the connection between the name and the extraordinary girl it represents.
But as Dylan continues, his words take an unexpected turn, shattering the tranquility of the moment.
"There has been a mistake. Daliah is not her mate; she is mine," he asserts, attempting to claim ownership over what is rightfully mine.
In an instant, rage surges through me, a feral growl escaping my lips. With lightning speed, I rise from my seat, crossing the distance between us in a heartbeat. My hand closes tightly around his throat, lifting him off his feet, and denying him the very air he breathes. His face begins to turn a shade of purple, but I show no mercy. How dare he lay claim to what belongs to me, to my mate?
The former Alpha and Luna, sensing the dangerous storm brewing within me, plead with me to release him, their voices laced with urgency. But their pleas fall on deaf ears as my focus remains fixed solely on Dylan.
I refuse to relinquish my grip, my unwavering resolve driven by a primal need to protect what is mine.
"Daliah is my mate, and I will protect her with my life," I state with controlled intensity, casting aside the useless Alpha who gasps for air as he crumbles to the ground. His parents rush to his aid, but he pushes them away, consumed by his futile defiance. Alpha Dylan, attempting to assert his claim, interjects, "With all due respect, my King, she was mine first."
I fix him with an unwavering gaze, my voice laced with a mix of authority and incredulity. "If the Moon Goddess has bestowed her upon me, it can only mean that you have rejected her, Alpha Dylan. This is further evidenced by the abhorrent circumstances in which I found her. Is it your custom to lock your mate in dungeons?"
The weight of my words hangs heavily in the air, challenging Dylan to confront the truth of his actions and the consequences they have wrought.

A FEW YEARS BEFOREDALIAH"Dad, give me a piggyback!" I giggled, hopping onto my dad's back while he was in the middle of chatting with some alphas."Stop doing that, Daliah! We are in the middle of a meeting," my elder brother, Prince Drew Armor, playfully scolded me.I shrunk a bit, but I could not help myself; it was just too much fun! Thankfully, my dad came to my rescue, growling, "Drew, do not ever talk to your little sister that way, ever." He said it with such love and protectiveness.I stuck my tongue out teasingly at Drew, and my dad laughed before gently flipping me onto his back. "Baby Daliah, I will happily give you a piggyback, and we can play all day together, but right now, I need to finish my meeting. Can you be patient and wait for me?" he asked with a warm smile.I nodded enthusiastically, "Yes, Dad, I can wait! But I have something to ask you. I want to start training with…" Before I could finish, my dad interrupted with a knowing grin."Ah, my little princess with

He smirked, leaning closer to my innocent face. "I mean from now on, you will stay in the castle, but in the maid's rooms. You will work here, and you will serve me at night." His wicked laughter echoed through the entire palace, sending chills down my spine. As a naive girl, I did not fully understand his words — at least not until my second brother, Drake, burst into my room and yanked me up by my hair, pushing me down to the floor. "Now you are just a maid. If you want to eat and if you want us not to kill you, then you must serve me and Drew every single night." He licked the corner of his mouth, and a sickening feeling washed over me. They both stared at me with an intensity that sent shivers down my spine. Their cold gazes showed no hint of mercy, and my heart pounded in fear. I crawled on the floor, desperately trying to stand up on my feet, hoping to escape their clutches.

Her words were like daggers, piercing through my already wounded heart.

The carriage stopped on the mountain. Liam got down, looked at the house at the top and held out his hand for me to come down.I was afraid. I hadn't seen my brothers in a while, and I was scared.

KING LiamShe did not know that I had been searching for her for too long...My father never died; he was a legend among our kind, born with four powers. As he aged, he had the audacity to ask me, his son, to take his position. And no one, I repeat, no one dared to reject the Alpha, for they all knew I was destined to inherit the throne eventually.But what sets me apart, what makes me a force to be reckoned with, is the fact that I was born with eight powers. Yes, eight. I am unparalleled, and none can even come close to rivaling my strength.In this world, being born with so many powers is unheard of. The common Alphas who possess a mere three powers prance around, content with being counselors or ministers, thinking they have reached the pinnacle of their abilities.Those born with four powers, like my dear old father, are supposed to battle for the throne, and the victor would become the ruling monarch.For me, becoming a king was beneath my potential.

As the wise old man stood before us, I wasted no time in issuing my command, my voice steady and assertive. "Drake, gather all the pack ministers in one hour from now. And rest assured, you will personally lead me to Daliah's room," I said with a hint of a smirk, exuding confidence in my authority.Drake's expression shifted from uncertainty to surprise as he spoke, "Yes... Sure, Your Highness. Her room is next to mine. She's my little sister, actually. Did not you know that she was my adopted little sister?"And there the lies started to flow in the air. Drake underestimated me.As I looked into Drake's eyes, I could sense the fear and guilt lurking within him. His attempt to hide the truth from me was futile, for my powers allowed me to see beyond mere words.With a smirk, I teased, "Did not you know that I have eight powers, Drake? I know everything."His face paled, and he stammered, "I... I did not mean to hurt her. It was just... I was angry, and she disobeyed me."I let out a c

His apology cut through the silence like a knife, piercing straight to the core of my wounded heart. And as I looked into his eyes, filled with genuine remorse and regret, I felt a glimmer of hope flicker within me — a fragile beacon of possibility amidst the darkness of our shared pain."I understand," I whispered, my voice barely audible above the sound of our surroundings. "But I need you to understand, Liam. I need to feel like more than just a possession, like more than just someone to be protected. I need to feel like your equal, your mate."His gaze never wavered as he reached out, his fingers gently brushing away the tears that stained my cheeks. "You are more than that, Daliah," he assured me, his voice filled with a quiet resolve. "You are my everything.""I was so afraid of Drake and Drew.

And as the scent of blood and the taste of vengeance filled the air, I vowed to fight with every fiber of my being until the bitter end.With a primal snarl, Drew attempted to retaliate, his own wolf form bristling with fury.

I woke up the next day to the melodious sounds of birds. As I opened my eyes, I realized I was alone in Liam's room. The doors and curtains were carefully closed. I got up and walked to the balcony door, only to find it locked with no visible key. I changed my clothes and attempted to open the main door leading to the hallway, but it was also securely locked."Hello?" I exclaimed, bewildered. Hearing the sound of locks being undone, a soldier finally opened the door."Good morning, Queen," he greeted."What is this? Was I locked in?" I questioned, incredulous."These are the king's orders," the soldier mumbled, seemingly confused.Surveying the hallway, I noticed the presence of so many guards that I couldn't count them. A strange sense of confinement began to set in, prompting me to question the reasons behind Liam's decisions.Each closed door echoed with a stifling silence, and the guarded expressions of the inhabitants heightened the palpable tension that clung to the air.

I need to consult with Allan, and you're coming with me." Liam's tone brooked no argument as he spoke, and I couldn't shake off the sense of impending danger that hung in the air.**A few minutes later, we found ourselves in the regal expanse of the throne room. Morphez, Allan, Liam, and I stood together, the gravity of the situation etched on our faces, as we faced the imminent threat that loomed over the kingdom."I can't believe it. I couldn't imagine the jewelry would be worn so soon," Daniel said, blaming himself."I hoped that wouldn't happen. The wizard wasn't a problem I wanted to deal with right now," Liam murmured, running his hands through his hair."It was my fault. I was busy exchanging barbs with the elk Marco, and I wasn't thinking about the problems that the stolen jewels would bring us," Daniel sighed, throwing himself into

Then, in a jolt, I awoke, my heart pounding erratically, still echoing with the remnants of the overwhelming nightmare.In the dimly lit room, an eerie silence filled the air. The slightly open doors drew my attention to the balcony, veiled by closed curtains. Behind the drapes, a shadowy figure remained motionless.An unsettling tension pulsed through me as I cautiously stood up, compelled by the mysterious presence on the other side of the billowing curtains. The room seemed to shrink, amplifying the irregular thudding of my heart. Each step intensified the unseen force, creating an ominous atmosphere that quickened my breath.The anticipation reached its peak as I approached the balcony, the room saturated with a blend of dread and curiosity. The curtains, like ethereal dancers, swirled, hinting at the enigma beyond. Shadows played tricks, conjuring images of a phantom suspended in time.Summoning courage, I parted the curtains.

Liam, seated on the throne, observed the unfolding scene with a measured gaze. His eyes flickered between me and the elders, gauging the atmosphere. The quietude was pregnant with unspoken implications, and it fueled the unease that pervaded the room.As the seconds ticked by, the elders seemed to come to a collective understanding. A nod from Elder Marco signaled a reluctant acceptance of my perspective, though skepticism still lingered."Very well pointed out, queen. Now tell me, why does the invader want to get our attention? You suggest that, first, he invaded the kingdom, then he killed Elder Krew. Lastly, he broke into my room and stole the jewels of wizard containment. What does the invader want?" Marco asked, leaning forward and staring at me threateningly."I do not..." I began, but Daniel's voice resonated with urgency, cutting through the air:"The wizard's containment gems?" Daniel practically shouted."Yes, beta. The jewels that were stolen were Magdar's jewels," Marco re
