I was in my grey armour with my sword hugged at my right side at my waist.Entering the ship, my eyes landed on the girl who was curling herself like a ball.She looked in pain as she held her head like that.“What's wrong?” My voice came out caringly and I immediately regretted talking to her.“I-I am okay.” Those were the only words that could come out of her mouth.But she was a terrible liar because I could already see through her that she wasn't okay.“What happened?” I didn't want to ask but I found myself asking.“N-nothing.”“You are lying.”“It doesn't matter if I lie to you or not.” She blurted out like water and I gulped.“Besides, you are planning on killing me in the most terrible way possible, why should I care?” Her words made me walk to where she was and sat beside her and she cowed away.“I never thought you could be this rude. You are always pretending to be innocent.” I playfully stated but she didn't respond.Weirdly, I wasn't angry with her.Wow!I hated it when pe
Her words made me furious and angry after she uttered them.Who dared do that in my packhouse?Now I could put the ends together.No wonder I went through hell yesterday. So it was because of poison?“How are you feeling now?” I quickly composed myself and asked as I tried to suppress the anger that was boiling in me.I would crush whoever that person was if what Edna was telling me was indeed true.Edna blinked several times as if unable to believe what I had just asked.Did she think me to be that evil that does not even care about her well being?Maybe she did with the fact that I was going to sacrifice her in a war.“Y-you shouldn't worry about me, you should worry about the mole.” She nervously responded and I quickly killed the sad face and replaced it with an emotionless one.“Of course I am not worried about you,” I blurted in a hard and cold voice that travelled around the place causing all the henchmen that were around to turn their attention to us but immediately looked aw
“Enough!” He growled in anger causing me to flinch and cursed internally for my stupidity. I should have just kept quiet!I should have left him to go and get killed with his henchmen.How stupid of me to try to help such a cruel man?I should have just let him die. Besides, he also wanted to kill me, why was I trying to save him?I wasn't an angel!‘You are more than an angel, Edna. You are the kindest person that has ever existed in the world of the supernatural.’ My wolf Serene encouraged me but I knew, she was trying to make me feel better.‘I am not. That is the truth. You are kind.’ Ehe continued and I rolled my eyes at her.She would always find reason to take Alpha Ansel's side as if she wasn't my wolf.‘No, I know she won't do anything to them. She was just threatening you.’ I ignored her statement and watched where I was stepping as we walked towards the pack hall. Because the way Alpha Ansel was dragging me, could hurt anyone who was not concentrating.Reaching the packhal
“To all of you that have survived your fates today,” Handing the sword back to its owner, Alpha Ansel brought back the attention of the servants and maids who were now shaking and trembling in his direction.“Be warned or it will be worse than what you have just seen today.” He continued after the pause while glaring at them.By now, two men who were also wearing armour were already at the entrance.Putting his hand in his pocket, Alpha Ansel retrieved a handkerchief and wiped his hands which had some traces of blood of the lifeless body still on the floor.“The two of you, take care of the mess.” He ordered while turning his head to the two henchmen at the door and they quickly walked to where the lifeless body was.Suddenly, we heard a sound ofrunning liquid and I struggled to lift my eyes and look in the direction. I hesitated each time I wanted to look at the lifeless body because I felt like vomiting when I looked at it. My head was also heavy from the sight. But as always, c
“L-lady Cheyenne!” Grace blurted out and I clenched my fists so hard that they turned pale.I knew it! I knew that that lady was cruel!“Is that so?” Suddenly, Alpha Ansel turned to Miriam and his eyes were as cold as snow as she gazed at the lady who ended up crying out loud in fear.“Y-yes!” Miriam admitted.Alpha Andel turned to me as he ran his hair to the back of his head then without saying anything to them, took my hand and walked out of the dungeon leaving me in confusion.Was he not going to harm them?Standing outside the dungeon, I could sense anger in the air as Alpha Ansel just looked blankly at the free moving air.After some minutes of silence which I was sure was like eternity to me, we heard screams and painful cries from the other side and we all turned to where the voice was coming from only for my eyes to land on two figures that were heading to where we were.It was Amos dragging Lay Cheyenne to where we were.“What took you so long, Amos?”Long? They didn't take
ANSEL POVI glared at the girl who was tied in chains sitting like a rained-on cat on the ship's cabin as we advanced with our journey.Tears were competing to get out of her eyes as she shook on the cabin's floor.She was very terrified but I also knew it was all fake.She was good at pretending.Well, I still couldn't believe that this woman here had the audacity to betray me after all the privileges she was getting from me.I should have known that they were all betrayers from the beginning. I had planned her punishment but she had to tell me what I wanted to know first.“Long live Titanic Wave!”“Long live Titanic Wave!” Screams of praises of our Kingdom were heard from the warriors on the upper side of the ship.I was supposed to be there with them and lead them but I wanted to deal with this woman first.“I won't repeat myself!’ I lashed at her while glaring at her to her very soul causing her to whimper in fear.“I-I…”“Do I look like a joke to you?” I wiped the sweat that wa
Our enemy thought the mole was lying to tell him that we would attack and that was the reason he only sent a small troop.“Tell the two captains to speed up! We have to get to the battle before them. We can't alert them any further.” I clenched my fists as I commanded.How I wished I knew who was involved in this.“Count it already done, Alpha.” Amos bowed and was about to turn around and go when I raised my hand stopping him from going.“You are my brother despite the fact that you are acting as a beta after what happened.” I started and he nodded and sauntered close to where I was and I put back my bow and arrow.“I want your advice.” I continued and he just nodded again.“Edna is my second chance mate.”“Yes, she is.” He turned to me with a confused look.“She has hidden abilities that we still aren't aware of.”“Yes.”“The same abilities which help us find Roshan's weakness.”“But I don't trust her. She is upto no…” Before he could finish his words, I raised my hand again.“I want
EDNA POVI was stunned by his actions since he entered the cabin.I never thought a man as strong and as powerful and arrogant as him, could have passed through something like this.I didn't even think he would sit on the floor like a desperate child.Now I could see that it had been a facade he plastered on his face to show the world that he was strong and hard as a stone but in reality, he was in pain.Who would have thought of that?Who would have thought that a man like Alpha Ansel who was rumoured to be cruel, heartless and cold could be going through such a thing?While in reality, the man was hiding excruciating pain and hurt.Looking at him, I could see that he had uncovered his facade and all I could see there was hurt and pain.I never thought he was capable of having such emotions.I turned to him still not believing what he had just told me. But I could see he wasn't lying or faking.He was telling the truth and it seemed the pain of it all had been too much and that was
“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
