ANSEL POVThe two days I had been out of the pack were the toughest days I had ever had.Not only did I have a lot of things to deal with, especially the problem concerning my sister, I also had to deal with Wiliam, one of the dukes of my streams.It turned out that he was indeed taking my secrets and selling them to Ramsey.I wanted to kill him there and then but I had to know why he was doing so first, before I knew how I would use him against Ramsey before I killed him.But what was more frustrating was the fact that I couldn't concentrate with all of that rather than thinking about that girl that was in my packhouse.I kept on ignoring her rewinding image in my head but still, that didn't work. I kept on seeing her. Her succulent pink lips didn't even help as I kept on wishing that she was here with me so that I could grab them on mine and suck them dry.“Fuck!” I wasn't settled at all as I leaned my hands on the table.Today was even worse than yesterday. It had been only two d
Though I was angry that whoever was in my office had made me to waste my time and I had erased his existence in this world after telling me what he was looking for in my office, I still was happy that at least, I got a reason to rush back into the pack and see her.I was the fastest werewolf who had ever existed in the werewolf world. So moving like a bullet was nothing to me.Willim's stream which was at the Southern part of the pack was one of the furthest streams from the headquarters which was the packhouse.But I would be there in less than twenty minutes.Running as my now long hind legs were making holes on the ground as I passed through, my mind remembered the function that was to be launched in the pack.It was a small welcoming party for Roshan, the king of vampires.I wanted to make him my alliance.I didn't know if he would accept the contract and sign it though.If he agreed, then I would be more powerful than anyone in the human and the werewolf world.In fact, I would
EDNA POV“Stop trembling and look at me!” He growled already one step away from me and I could feel my heart skipping many bits.It was already about to bulge out of my chest.I wish I knew, I shouldn't have come up with this stipud idea.Was I naive to think that he wouldn't come?“Look at me!” He barked again and I shut my eyes completely as I lifted my head.“Who sent you?” He continued as I had already opened my eyes and now, all I could see was his dark eyes very close to mine.“I-I…"“I have been so lenient to you, right?” His hand was already on my neck as he strangled me mercilessly.His eyes were darker than before. All I could dictate there was anger and rage.“Who the hell are you?!” He growled again while squeezing my neck that my legs were already in the air.“What are you looking for in my office?!” Alpha Ansel was blinded with rage as he gritted his teeth.His defined hand was on my neck that I couldn't breathe. Fear increased as I held all his hand with mine while try
“W-what are you doing?!” I blurted out but heard other footsteps behind me.They had surrounded me!“Make sure you catch her alive.”Was it Alpha Ansel?“W-what have I done?” Frightened, I stepped back but someone from behind me, covered me by a net as if I was a fish.In a twinkle of an eye, my whole body was struggling to be released from the clutches of the net.“P-please stop.” I pleaded but no one could hear my pleadings or they did but they chose to ignore me.“Where are we going to put her?” One of the men asked as they dragged me by the net.“To the dungeon of course.”No, I didn't want to return to that place. The place was cold and dark. It was so frightening. I didn't want to go there again.Did he maybe read my thoughts that I would run away?Was he going to kill…“No, the Alpha instructed us to take her to the room she was given.”I couldn't finish my thoughts as the other man answered and they carried me while I was sti in the net and rushed with me up the stairs.“Y-you
“W-we are about to…”“Just do it quickly! I don't have time to wait!” I heard the cold voice immediately when the door opened and I kept my eyes on the floor avoiding being seen as I curled like a ball on the dressing chair.I didn't even turn and see him, I was so scared especially after all the days I haven't laid my eyes on him.Then I remembered that I had hurt him and I gulped.The urge to see and ask what he was doing overwhelmed me but I couldn't raise my head.My heart was already a mess thinking that he might see me and feel disgusted and I curled myself even harder.I immediately suppressed the thought of seeing him.Besides, I was sure he was okay even if I hadn't seen him. He was the Alpha and he was so strong. Something like what happened that day couldn't worry him that much.With that in my mind, I kept my head down listening to the exchanging of words between Alpha Ansel and Grace.Actually, it wasn't an exchange of words between the maid and her master but more like
I couldn't even look at myself in the mirror that was in front of me because I was very uncomfortable.Sitting down, they started to apply different types of makeup on my face causing me to feel heaviness on my face and my entire body.Plus the dress was also very heavy to handle.I wondered how I would be able to walk around with it.Never had I ever worn something like this in my whole life.Mellisa and her friend and Rushi's girlfriend had the privilege to enjoy things like this, not someone like me who didn't have anyone apart from my wolf Serene.I had not even attended any ball in my precious pack as I wasn't allowed to be around other pack members or anyone for that matter.But here I was, being decorated like a bride.What was in Alpha Ansel's head?If he wanted to kill me, was it necessary for him to make me taste a soft life before he did it?“Get up! You are now ready!” Without asking, I got up from the chair and my eyes came face to face with my reflection on the mirror a
The feeling of disappointment sinked in like a heavy stone, settling deep in the pit of my stomach, as the truth dawns upon me. It was a bitter realization, one that stinged with the sharpness of betrayal and deceit. I was a fool to thing that after what I did to him and after all the days of him showing me that he didn't care about me even if I was his mate.In fact, maying meant nothing to him.He made it clear that he could survive with a mate, besides, he already survived without one.He even made it clear that he wouldn't feel anything when he decided to end my life.But still, the realisation hit differently when it was looming on your head.He never harbored genuine feelings for me and he would never. He only saw me as a means to an end, was still a painful blow even if I already knew about that.I was such a dimwit.My new looks, my new beauty still meant nothing to him.He still saw me as the same person.Maybe he believed the rumours after what happened that day.What sti
“I will try my best, Alpha Ansel.” I made sure to be as formal as possible. Besides, I was his only employee.Unfortunately, I wasn't being paid by anyone.In fact, there was a possibility that my payment was death.Goddess forbid!Anyway, my work was only to do his bidding.“Good.” His deep voice travelled deep into my soul washing out all the worries I felt.His face was so close to mine that I thought he was going to kiss me again like last time.His breath was so cool and smelled delicious but before I could dive into his deep and beautiful eyes trying to find out why he was this heartless, Alpha Ansel intertwined his hand with mine.“Don't expect much from people like us, you will end up being disappointed.” I clenched my fists so hard that I could feel my body trembling. I was sure he could also feel it because of the bond but he ignored it. “Be a good girl and I might forget what you did to me that day.” His eyes were all over me as they shone like stars and I just swallowed
“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
