“Baby Jack? Baby? Where is he?” We heard someone calling from outside the room and immediately Jack heard that voice, he rushed under the bed.“Why are you hiding?” I asked as I got up from the bed.“I want to stay here with you!” He blurted out so adorably that anyone hearing him talk like that, couldn't deny him.But he had to go. I was already in trouble. I didn't want to cause more.Plus the room was full of broken glasses of the vase his father broke down because of anger, I didn't want him to get hurt.“Jack,” I called and he ignored me, “I am talking to you, look at me.” I called again softly than before and he turned his beautiful eyes to me.“See, you have to go.”“I don't want to.”“Why?” I asked politely but in confusion.Well, I didn't know how he came in here and how but I wouldn't put myself in more trouble because of him.I was totally sure that his father wouldn't like the fact that his son was around me.That man hated me and about liking me as what his son said, that
My stomach growled, informing me that I was hungry and starving.It had been two days since Alpha Ansel locked me in this room.I had been all by myself. No one to talk to.I still couldn't feel my wolf, Serene and that gave me a grave headache each passing day.No one had cared to come and see if I was still breathing. He didn't even send anyone to bring me food.I had not seen Jack since that day the maid came for him in anger. I wonder how he was doing.He wasn't in a good shape that day when he was told to stay away from me.Anyway, he would soon forget about me, besides, he didn't know me well.On top of that, I was nothing to him. I was a nobody. Someone that his father could kill anytime he wanted. Besides, I wasn't complaining. I used to be abandoned and stay all by myself but the difference now was that I couldn't feel my wolf and the fact that I was starving.I scanned around the room, trying hard to remain conscious. My whole body was too weak to even get up.Thank the God
ANSEL POV“I have dealt with him.” Amos hesitated a little and I immediately knew there was something he wanted to add to that statement so I remained quiet, giving him enough time to continue.“She doesn't like him.”“I know.” I answered while perusing the reports in my hands as I checked the progress of the Pack's streams.“Then why did we have to make him suffer?” Raising my head, I looked at him.“He likes her.”“So?” He asked arrogantly then strolled to the chair opposite me and sat down,“We all know He won't be able to have her. Why then do you have to risk his poor life? Furthermore, the guy is too weak. He won't be able to survive our clutches.”“He shouldn't have touched her!” I grumbled in frustration then sighed and tried to calm myself down.“I thought you didn't like her…”“She is my mate.” I responded as a matter of fact.“But you said it yourself that you want to kill her. Even the council knows that.” He stopped then continued while trying to avoid my gaze, “Remembe
My mood just disappeared to my feet.Right now, all that covered my face was anger and frustration.“Try to calm down, Ansel, Amos will soon find him for you.” I tried to calm my rage as I paced back and forth.Finally, I was able to completely calm myself and my wolf who was whimpering in my head and returned to my seat.‘Amos, I am only giving you twenty minutes to capture him!’ I mind-linked Amos again as I opened the last drawer and saw Edna's file.‘I don't…’‘I don't care! You have twenty minutes to bring him alive!’ With that, I cut off the mind-link and returned my attention to the file that was on my hand.I clenched my fists as I put them down on the table and took the many reports of the streams and continued going through them.A subconscious smile covered my mouth as I continued to check.All the streams were doing well, economically and socially so, I pushed the many papers to the side then my eyes landed on the file that was on my right hand side again.I hesitated for
In fact, I was tolerating him because he was one of the wealthiest men in the pack and he had helped the pack in many ways financially.That was the reason but I wouldn't continue to tolerate him if he was here for some stupid reasons.“Okay, continue,” I let it slide as I tried to control the rising anger.“W-well…S-she is not in a good shape. Her face is bruised and swollen.” His words made me form my dark smile then I turned to him,“What did she tell you about it?” I asked, interested in the conversation.I had already seen where it was heading to and it wasn't anything important. Furthermore, it was something that was about to annoy me more than I was already.“Alpha-King, we all know how much my daughter likes you,” I raised my eyebrows again with my smile still planted on my face.Then I turned to the man, the smile already disappeared from my face, “Mr Young, what exactly brought you to my office?!” I got up from my chair and wandered around the office while waiting for his
How could he? Did he think he could just betray me just like that?I threw my leg in front as I walked through the staircases from my office to the pack’s abandoned dungeon.Amos had already confirmed that the man was already in the dungeon some minutes ago.“Ramsey,” I murmured the name with gritted teeth as I hardened my Jaws to give me the intimidated look that I always wear when I was about to meet up with my enemies or rather my frenemy. How could he use the man that I trusted with all that I had?I thought I had buried all the betrayer with their clothes when I banished my ex chosen mate and my beta but I was wrong.They were still looming around here.Well, maybe I have been lenient with people.I should go back to the way I was some years back so that people would know not to betray me.And as stupid as Ramsey was, he thought he could take over my throne of being the king of the werewolf world by using Lucas, how naive.Wearing my evil smirk on my face that only whispers dan
I couldn't believe I had to postpone my plans just because of Lucas!How could he? Did he think he could just betray me just like that?He would be a good example to anyone who wanted to do something like this.In the dimly lit backroom of my office as I liked it that way, I sat alone, nursing a glass of whiskey I had to use to calm myself down.I had to return to my office earlier because I was very furious and I wouldn't want to hurt anyone right now.My mind was heavy with thoughts of the betrayal caused by Lucas. The bitter taste of treachery lingered on my tongue, a bitter reminder of the henchman I had once trusted with my life.Lucas, my most loyal enforcer, had turned against me, selling secrets to my rival Ramsey in exchange for God knew what. The sting of betrayal cut deep, slicing through the bonds we had forged in loyalty.As I stared into the depths of the drink I was holding, my hand clenched around the glass, my knuckles white with rage. Thoughts of vengeance swi
“The hell are you talking about?” I growled as I glared deep into her brown eyes causing her to start trembling in fear.Fear was my tool I used to inflict into my people so that they could do anything as I wanted.When they heard of me, all they could do was shake and tremble as my name alone instil fear in their weak hearts.My imposing figure struck fear into their hearts as my aura alone intimidated them. Especially now that I had killed one of the betrayers.With a gaze as cold as steel, I towered all over the weak woman who was standing in front of me. I could feel the fear creeping into her eyes causing her to want to break.I made sure to rule with an iron fist, instilling terror in anyone who dares to defy me. My voice alone carried the weight of authority, each command laced with a subtle threat that leaves no room for disobedience. Those who cross me were swiftly dealt with, their fate serving as a warning to others. Under my reign, fear became the ultimate tool of contr
“Prepare a feast to celebrate my mother and the fact that we won the battle!” I blurted out suddenly, and all the people around were shocked by my decision.Maybe I was evil. My mother had died, and instead of mourning her, I was preparing for a feast to celebrate.‘No. You are not. That is what she wants you to do. To be happy.’‘Thank you, Serene.’ I had never been so happy with my sassy wolf than today.‘You!’ She shouted, and I laughed.“Okay, a feast to celebrate a new beginning and a new life!” Ansel blurted out, and all the pack members, plus our guests, looked in our direction in shock.“Your queen is expecting an heir.” Maybe they didn't hear when my mother talked about her grandson. I didn't know.“Hail the queen of the Titanic Wave! Hail the queen of the Titanic Wave!” They all chorused, and Ansel helped me up.“Where is Edric? He wasn't at the battle?” I asked as Ansel led me in the direction of the stairs.“Three of his council members died, so he had to go.”“It was my m
In one swift move, I was already on my heels and outside the room as if I wasn’t the one who was unwell. The only thing I could hear now was, ‘My mother!’She would be fine, right? Nothing would happen to her, right?Just a moment ago, we had been together, fighting side by side. What might have happened to her just now?All those thoughts kept replaying in my mind as I ran through the hallway, down the stairs, and into another hallway that led to the living hall. Something popped into my mind and I froze. She had no heart! She was living like a shadow!“Nooo!” I shouted at the top of my lungs as I increased my speed. Right now, I couldn't hear anyone speaking to me. I couldn’t see anyone beside me. All I wanted to see was Seraphina, my mother. Reaching the hall, my eyes started tearing up as I saw the woman on the couch, surrounded by some maids and other people I couldn’t recognize at this moment. I rushed to her and knelt on the floor, closer to the couch.“Baby girl.” She calle
The earth heaved, revealing hidden hundreds of witches clad in black, each with the same eerie white cross on their foreheads. Their village, previously hidden by powerful spells, now stood exposed before us.I swallowed hard and turned to Seraphina and she also turned to me."I am so proud of you, I myself didn't know that spell, how did you know it?"I averted my gaze away from her, "I also didn't know how I was able to perform it.""Do you believe that indeed, you were meant to save the wolf's species?" I nodded but the waves of shock rippled through me and by the whispers behind me, I could sense the shock in all of my people too.I could also sense the astonishment in the eyes of the soldiers and our allies. If not for the witches' attacks, we would have passed by this hidden stronghold, unaware of the danger lurking within.The witches, realising their concealment had failed, quickly regrouped. Forming a tight circle, they clasped hands and began chanting. Their voices rose in
EDNA POVMy breath came in shallow bursts as the trucks rumbled towards the witches' territory. It was time, time to pat back to the wiches for what they did to our brothers and sisters.I glanced around at my companions: Seraphina, her trusted confidante, sat beside her, while Coline lounged in the corner with an air of detachment. I had decided to suppress the need to ask her what she meant earlier because I could already see through her that she thought I was weak and that maybe, I used my beauty to be Ansel's mate.Silly her to judge me like that.How stupid was he to forget that there were also fate? That I was Ansel's fated mate?Indeed some people could be crazy and mad."Stay alert," Ansel's voice crackled over the radio-like. "We’re close."Immediately after I heard that, my heart started pounding in my chest. Suddenly, a loud screech filled the air as the lead truck swerved violently. What was going on?I turned my eyes in a bullet pace in front as we were at the top of
Edna's hands trembled slightly as she tightened the last strap of her armour.The preparations had been very tiresome to both of them, leaving her no time to question Ansel about the unfamiliar figures who had arrived earlier. Now, as everything was done, curiosity gnawed at her and she couldn't be silent anymore.She moved quietly through the hall towards her mate, Ansel, her mind focused on the impending battle but unable to shake her curiosity. Ansel was conferring with a group of warriors when she approached him. She leaned in close, her voice a soft whisper."Ansel, who were those two men and the woman with King Roshan earlier?"Ansel's eyes widened momentarily in realisation. He turned to her, a sheepish smile on his lips. "I am sorry, my love. I should have introduced them to you. Ooh no, why have I forgotten to do that and you are the qeen of wolves? You should be aware of who they are." He raised his voice, catching the attention of the mysterious guests."STEVE?" Ansel cal
Ansel sighed, his eyes softening as he looked at Edna. "I have to check on the warriors and make sure the cars are ready for our departure."Edna’s eyes narrowed, her jaw tightening. She threw off the pink robe, walked to the wardrobe, and pulled out a pair of trousers and a blue shirt. With quick, angry motions, she dressed herself, her movements sharp and agitated."Do you think I’m weak?" she shouted, her voice trembling with emotion. "Is that why you want me to sleep while you go and prepare for the war with your men?"Ansel stepped towards her, his hands raised in a placating gesture. "No, Edna. You need rest for tomorrow. It’s not because I think you’re weak. You’re anything but that. How could you even conclude that?"Tears welled up in Edna’s eyes, and she cried, her shoulders shaking with the force of her sobs. Ansel was taken aback, shocked by her sudden burst of emotions. He rushed to her and hugged her from behind, murmuring sweet words into her ear.This woman was everyt
Ansel tenderly tucked a loose strand of hair behind Edna's ear, his touch gentle and reassuring. "I’m ready for the war," he murmured, his voice steady and confident. "Especially after what I have witnessed today, it's high time I do anything to avenge the wolves that lost their lives and also to stop this ones and for all."He then softened his gaze at her and added, "Thank you for trying to get information from those witches. I didn't expect you would do that alone to help me."Edna looked away, her shoulders slumping slightly. "I wish I could have gotten more. We need every advantage we can get."Ansel shook his head, lifting her chin so she would meet his eyes carefully. "What you found out is enough. You’re the most hardworking Luna this pack has ever had. The most courageous queen of Titanic Wave. And the first to be its queen, what else could I ask for feom the goddess? I have everything in you."A faint smile touched Edna's lips, though it didn't quite reach her eyes. "You’re
Ansel and Amos reached the packhouse in the middle of the night, their hearts heavy with the events of the day.Everything just happened fast. And as the days passed, many of their people were dying and Ansel just hoped that the higher house that made laws for all creatures would notice this and help him before it was too late.He could deal with everything himself but as law makers and people who pretended to be holy according to Ansel, they were supposed to open their eyes and see that the wolf species were at risk.But again, Ansel was aware who those people were. They were just corrupt beasts who were a bunch of good for nothing, lazy people who depended on others for information.Ansel ousted back those annoying thoughts then turned to the packhouse in front of him.The packhouse stood tall and silent, the moon casting long shadows over its wooden structure.Ansel moved with purpose, his grip on Sophia gentle yet firm as he carried her into a room adjacent to Jack's.At the time,
THIRD PERSON POV Ansel and Amos moved swiftly through the dense forest, their powerful legs propelling them forward as they leapt over fallen trees and navigated the rugged terrain. Their wolves had taken over and they were like beasts now, very huge and powerful with furs all over their bodies and claw-like fingers. The night air was thick with tension, and the moon cast an eerie glow on their path and on their wolf nature, causing them to be more powerful than before. After all, wolves were creatures we depended mostly on the moon to give them strength. Ansel’s mind was a storm of rage and sorrow, the news of the slaughter weighing heavily on his heart. The black witches had gone too far. How could they so heartless to kill over twenty wolves? That was mass murder and Ansel as the King of wolves, he needed to act swift. Or else, his people would suffer the consequences. When they finally reached the village, the scene that greeted them was one of unspeakable horror. The onc
