Author POV“How dare you challenge the throne Ichabod!” One of the other men seated beside the throne stood up and demanded.“It is not a challenge your highness, it is destiny. Aliaria , the Hybrid Werewolf, coming to save the kingdom from the evils that you have placed in it.” She stared at the man once more and then back to the king, seated on the throne.“Ichabod, you are have done the abominable and you should be punished for that…” One of the men once again said, but was held back by the king, whose eyes were fully vested on her.“Aliaria , the liberator of my kingdom…” He stepped down from his throne and made his way towards Aliaria, who simply moved back. “…You really think you can become king huh?” Aliaria looked at his eyes and she could see the blue lenses.“Are you scared my king?’ She turned once more to stare at Ichabod. This time, she took a cursory look at the man. She was certain she had seen this man before now, but she couldn’t exactly remember where she had seen hi
Aliaria Pov“I figured that you did not want to see me since you came to the pack” I said the moment I reached the podium.“I am really sorry for not coming to see you earlier. We both know that Kieran and Willow are very evil people. Who knows what is going through their mind next” I agreed with what he was saying because I hated the both of them. Acting as their filthy champion and not given freedom can be hurtful and I was genuinely hurt. “How have you been doing?” He asked in a calmer manner.“A lot of things have been happening to me lately” I said, casting my mind back to the dream I had last night.“Did you receive the wizard gift that I asked Dawson to give to you?” He asked.I pulled off the piece of cloth hiding the necklace and showed it off to him. Kaidon nodded with satisfaction on his face.“I would have done the necessary thing by pulling you out of there, but it would mean waging war against Kieran and we both know that he can influence the rest of the Alpha to go t
Kaidon POVBy the time morning came, I was told by one of the soldiers that Kieran was hosting a meeting. I was dressed in my royal robe as I walked towards the chamber.My mind was still foggy from the event that has happened last night. I would have chosen to ignore whatever mind game that Kieran was playing because in the end, he is never going to be my equal.Kieran arrived at the chambers moment after I had settled down. “Thank you for honoring my invite this very morning. Today was supposed to be the start of a very important contest, but we have had a few hitches which is why the contest is postponed till three days time”“More time delay for your rigging huh?” We all turned to Alpha Gideon who had spoken.“Alpha Gideon, the fact that this contest was pulled together to promote peace across all the packs should be the clue that your empty brains need to understand that I am always going to respect everyone” Kieran snapped back.“Lets keep pretending like we don’t know you are
Aliaria POVI was wide awake before the sun could cast its head on the pack. Working out my lower body and preparing for the widely acclaimed tournament.I wasn't doing this because I was Kieran's champion. All I wanted to do was make it to the final and win to regain my freedom from his hand.Bonillo's sword lay beside my bed and I figured I could use it to train and believing the training centre would be open this morning to try it out.I grabbed the sword and walked out of the room. On my way to the training centre, many of the pack soldiers were returning from Patrol duties and some of the maids were making meals for all pack officials.I arrived at the training centre to see someone had beaten me to a spot. I stopped and watched the stranger train himself with the use of sword.His skill was genuinely the best I have ever seen. The way he slide through the ground and preparing to thrust the sword was going to be dangerous in the tournament, especially against top opponents."Come
Aliaria Pov"What are you talking about?" Dawson asked as the rogue wolves circled us like predators."Look into their eyes. I can sense their dark energy. The necklace given to me by the wizard is glowing as well" I showed Dawson after confirming that everyone was distracted by the creature."This must have been made by Willow. I know that witch is up to no good" I explained."What makes you think so?" "She is not in the games, which tells me that she is up to some mischief" I explained.One of the rogue wolf turned to my direction and starts to attack. "Watch out!" I was too stunned to move my legs but somehow Dawson is able to move me out of the way."This isn't a tournament! It is a conspiracy to kill me" I inform Dawson who moves away from my side. Dawson gets to his feet and shifts to his black wolf. My eyes turned to the rest of the champions and they were mere spectator watching Dawson and I against the rogues.I turned to the podium and noticed the rage in Kaidon's eyes a
Kaidon POV“What is the meaning of the madness that happened out there at the arena?” I asked Kieran, who sat at the throne next to Willow.“Why are you always agitated? Can’t you see that none of the issues that happened out there is our fault? The rogues chose to attack your mate and there was nothing we could do about it” Kieran explained.I turned around to Willow and noticed that she has been quiet since I arrived, which is usually not the case.“And you, what role did you have to play in this?” I asked turning to her direction.“Watch the way you talk to my mate Kaidon” Kieran said with a stern warning, but I did not care for his words.“You were not so careful in letting those beast out of the cage” I stepped further to the throne. “This is my last warning to you Kieran. If anything happens to my mate in this tournament again, I am going to make sure I tear down Blood moon pack” I warned and turned around to leave.“Have you ever thought about what could be happening in your pa
AliariaBorillo and I were walking through the hallway after Kieran had summoned for an immediate meeting. My moment with Kaidon could not last long because of the information that has now spread like wild fire across the pack mansion.“What happened to him?” I asked as we took the last route leading to the hall.“His death is a very strange one. People think he wasn’t exactly killed with a sword or even with wolf claws.”By the time we arrived at the hall, all the other champions were already gathered and everyone was discussing about the situation at hand.The door suddenly opened and Kieran walked inside with his escort trailing right behind him. Other Alphas also walked inside the room with their soldiers as well.Kaidon was the last to walk inside and our eyes met almost immediately.“Hey” I turned around and Dawson was beside me. His arm was bandaged and I felt sorry for him.“How is your arm?” I asked.“Getting better. The rogues really bite deep into my skin” He said, trying
Aliaria PovI closed my eyes and took a deep breath as we walked into the hall. My memory was still foggy from the strange dream I had in the night. Being looked up to as the hope of the werewolf kingdom was a huge task, especially against Willow and Kieran who have become really too powerful to be handled.“Is there a reason why Kieran decided to summon all champions to the hall?” I asked Borillo, who was walking beside.“Alpha Kieran is a leader with many mysteries. No one can tell what is going through his mind” He said as we emerged at the entrance.A lot of the fighters and competitors were lurking around the place. My eyes landed on Killbird and a smile came across my face remembering how Dawson had beat the hell out of him in style.Speaking of Dawson, he was standing across the room all by himself observing the people. I walked up to him and sat beside him in silence and together we watched everyone engage in different conversation with one another.“Kaidon asked me to be h
Aliaria POVIt has been 3 days since I obtained the mark of Apollo from Kieran 's shelf. The truth in the book was astounding following what had happened to Killian .Kieran had declared that for the rest of the week there won't be any tournament till when the time of his chosen comes. Sunday Lee I felt a strong energy holding around my body and my legs became weak my eyes became blurry causing me to fall into a trance state.When I open my eyes I found myself in an empty room with only one ray of light coming through the window. Where am I? Am I dead or was it some sort of a dream? "It is not any dream Aliaria it is me." I turned around startled by The voice of the wizard who held unto his staff and worked out of the shadows to face me. He had a long mustache and his beards had grown more than the last time we saw. "Age has really caught up with you dear wizard." I said reviewed iron his body from head to toe. "When you have stayed in the world for a very long time that is wh
Dawson POVThe moment Killian step forward I noticed something very odd about him. His eyes are changed colors and they were soulless.I felt a weird energy around him and for some reason I knew something was wrong somewhere. I turned around and notice the smile on Grace's face almost like she had planned something out. I begin to connect the dot and realize that I wasn't hallucinating when I said I had seen Killian and Willow .The horns were blown and the fight was to start immediately. "Now I am going to finish you." He said and launched the attack. I moved out of the way I see aggressively step forward with his hand almost connecting with my face. I wasn't going to make the same mistake I had not earlier but unlike the first round he was very fast in this one. Every point that came to my face I slightly moved out of the way causing a friction before anything happened.I distracted him after seeing an opening and my hand connected with his jaw and his stumbled backwards. A
Dawson PovThere is no reason that I should be fighting in the middle of the night alone with my unknown opponent behind the cage.But here I was doing the bidding of Kieran and Willow . The rest of the Alphas were also present and the moon shinning was the only available means of light.I remember Aliaria’s word to me few earlier on and I was going to be careful.Everything is being set for me to loose but I cannot loose, not when we finally know what is going on in blood Moon pack.The cage finally opened and beneath the shadows, a familiar figure appeared.“Killian .” I pronounced, surprise that he was the one that I will be facing.“The time has come for me to put an end to your life Dawson . There is no way you are escaping my wrath.” He said.Kieran got up to his feet and cleared his throat.“The fight is a hand to hand combat.” He announced and it is accompanied by the loud sound of the horns, which indicated that we should fight.Killian rushed forward with a menacing pace
Aliaria POV“How is he doctor?” Kaidon asked the moment we walked into the pack hospital.Dawson ’s body was beyond recognizable. His face was swollen and dirts were coming out of his lips in the form of mucus.“Whoever did this to him is the sick” The pack doctor confessed as he stepped away from his body.“His wolf is still there and I can still find a pulse. But I don’t think he will be able to get through” The doctor revealed.“Something must be done about the situation” Kaidon declared. “The only possible solution to what is happening to him is to find the antedote to what has been done to him” The pack doctor explained.“What is the cause of his swollen body?” I asked.“He was bitten severly by multiple deadly scorpion. I think these scorpions must have the most deadliest venom for his body to be in this state” The pack doctor revealed.An antedote.How is it possible to get this antedote?Kaidon tapped my shoulders and gestured for me to walk out of the room with him.By
Author Pov“Sieze him!” Kieran ordered and a group of soldiers rushed forward and yanked Dawson ’s hand, forcing him to the ground.“Kieran , he is my champion” Kaidon argued as he watched his brother man handled by the pack soldiers.“Your champion is going to answer for his crimes. He just killed an Alpha and he must pay for it” Kieran replied and demanded that he be taken away.Aliaria watched in dismay as Dawson is led out of the room. She turned to see Kieran whispering something into Willow ’s ear and she got up to her feet and also walked out of the room.Aliaria could sense that something fishy was going on and they were hiding it.Meanwhile Dawson is unfazed as he is led down te basement. He was used to the torture already.The whip never silenced him but merely made him much stronger.The soldiers tied him to the pole and he is stripped off his cloth.“You should consider using a much thicker whip. This one is too old” Dawson suggested to the captain.The captain fe
Aliaria PovThe early morning was unusually quiet. Ashton my personal guard was leading me through the tunnel till we arrived alongside other champions.Today a crowd awaits and I could feel their energy, even down the tunnel. “You are early” I said to Dawson as I stayed by his side.“I am always early” He replied with a smile.I looked down his hand and noticed a change in his weapon.“An axe? What happened to your sword?” I asked with sheer curiosity.“The game is unpredictable and I just have a slight feeling that I might be needing this” He replied with a shrug.I wanted to say something but the doors are opened and we stormed out of the underground pit to a loud cheering crowd.My eyes scanned the entire crowd and soaked up the euphoric atmosphere. My eyes landed at Kaidon and he smiled in my direction.Kieran and Willow were also seated for the first time since the beginning of the tournament.“Why is Willow suddenly interested in this tournament?” I asked Dawson beside m
Aliaria Pov“It has become very obvious that Kieran plans to kill one of us before the tournament is over” Dawson said as we sat down at the training center.It was deep into the night and with my magical necklace, I had been able to cause a lot of the solders to fall into deep sleep, which allows us time to talk.“Which is why we need to come up with a plan.” Kaidon replied, while stroking my hair with his hand. “We are giving Kieran too much power. He threatens to end my pack at will because he knows that there is nothing I can do about it”“One of us has to win the tournament.” Dawson mentioned.“One of us?” Kaidon and I echoed as we looked at Dawson .“Don’t tell me you are planning to fight Aliaria if the both of you ever meet in the final round” Kaidon said.“I have been loyal and I don’t intend to go back on my word. Aliaria is going to win but at the same time, I want her to win honorably” At first my brain was trying to process everything he was saying.“In what way
Aliaria PovTo say that I was happy was understatement.As Dawson is being taken away, I could tell that his message has reached every ear including that of Kieran, who I noticed was still struck in fear.The games were finally over and all the Alphas were walking out of the hall. Kaidon gestured with his hands to meet him at the training ground and I smiled in response.“I know what you saw at the tournament ground today has been absolutely shocking” said the captain, who has come to address us.“What Dawson has done today should not repeat itself amongst any of the champion. None of you have the right to attack Alpha Kieran. No one!” He yelled and turned to look at my direction.“Wipe away that smile on your face woman!” He yelled and my face changed into a frown.The captain approached me and stared into my eyes for a moment, while I looked away from him.“I saw what you did”I turned to look at him and a smirk came to his face.“I….I don’t know what you are talking about” I repli
Dawson Pov“What is the meaning of this madness!”I turned around to look at Kaidon, who has risen up to his feet with his face glaring angrily at Kieran.“Alpha Kaidon, you have always questioned everything I have done. So what you say holds no water right now” Kieran dismissed with his hand and turned to the arena.My heart was beating fast as the rogues all circled me like they were predators ready to devor their preys.I croaked my neck to look at Aliaria. She was shaking her head aggressively as she noticed the smile on my face.She really thinks I will not be able to take on the rogues even with my hands tied.“Tell me something Alpha…” I said, confidently turning to look at Kieran. “Am I allowed to let free of the ropes and find a weapon against these rogues?” I asked, looking at the rogues.Some had their swords and others had their clubs with them.“You are allowed to break free from the ropes, but I doubt if you can because they are tight” He said and laughed menacingly.Kai
