Chapter 72As I expected.She glanced at Theo and clicked her tongue before she looked back at me. "I see you did some damage to my lover. So bad of you. Now I wouldn't spare you and will make you pay." she said and let nails grew long and her eyes turned yellow. "Let's make this fun." she said and attacked me but I was quick enough to counter her attack. She didn't give it a break and attacked, swirling her dagger my way.I quickly moved away and hopped on the nearest tree branch."What are you alpha? A coward? Come face me and stop running away."My mission here is done. I only came here to find out who this ally. Theo's wound is healing fast and if I stay here any longer, they will both attack me. She looks like a strong ally. They will quickly get me. I can't use my Alpha's power. If I do, it will create a ruckus and divide the ground. The earth will shook from it. I can't waste it on them.Besides, I could sense other werewolves near by. It seems Theo had a feeling about this pl
Chapter Darius's PovI opened my eyes, and my view was blurry, but after a while it became clear. The sky was bright. It was morning, but I wasn't in bed but on the ground.I out my brain at work trying to remember what happened and how I there and my memory came back.I tried to ambush Theo, who was already waiting for me. That's it. I was shot with an arrow and fell, but how am I still alive?I looked at my stomach, but the arrow was still there. I tried standing up but felt a pain that made me fall back."Yoh will only hurt yourself if you try to seat up Alpha." A familiar voice spoke beside me.I looked up and saw him. A wave of relief flowed through my bones, and I sat up, this time successfully."Pain is nothing for an alpha except a weak one.""You got us worried for a minute."I looked beside him and saw my soldiers. Few were injured, while the rest looked tired."I completed my mission and have the bodies of the two criminals.""Good job, Danny." "But how did you save meat
Chapter Riley's PovI was taken aback by his hug. I wasn't expecting that. I was in shock until he whispered in my ear. "The elders are here. "We have to pretend to be close."Oh!! Now I get it. I forced a smile and hugged him back. "I was so worried about you." I said and pulled away while he stroked my hair.I felt the atmosphere around me chill, and goosebumps were all over my skin. I slowly turned and caught Darius's gaze. His hawk-like gray eyes were staring at me as if piercing deep into my soul.I quickly looked down and swallowed hard. Looking at him will only make me lose my stance and probably fall."Alpha, you would have told us about your plan before going ahead." "What if something bad had happened to you?" Bruno asked, walking closer to the Alpha."Nothing happened to my son, and that is all that matters." He's been out since last night and so needs to rest. "Why don't we adjourn this meeting for later this evening?" Mother asked.Bruno looked at the other elders behin
Chapter RILEY'S POVMother?I rushed out of the servant's quarter, waiting for the servant to complete what she wanted to say. I knew there was trouble, and my legs moved.I hope mother is alright. I let her go to her room alone. I shouldn't have. If something bad happens to her, I will blame myself for it.I rushed to her room and went in. The royal physician was beside her, checking her.I have to calm down and not call her mother, or that will cause a lot of trouble. I swallowed hard and stepped outside, standing by the door while looking at her. Her eyes were open but fixed on the window. She was lost in thought.I told her not to worry, and now you see what it caused. If Darius sees her like this, what will happen to him? He still has a hole in his chest, and any strong emotion can trigger pain and cause the loss of blood.The doctor talked to her for a while before he left and the other servants present in the room, let alone the two who stayed behind to look after mother. My
Riley's Pov He is kissing me again. Darius is kissing me again. I closed my eyes and parted my lips for his prying tongue. My insides tingled as he deepened the kiss. I kissed him back, moving along with his rhythm. He pulled away, and I recalled what happened in the forest. He pulled away and suddenly became cold again. I was shocked at his sudden behavior, and it seems he is about to repeat it. He stared at me for a while and slowly licked his lips. Seeing that sexy move from him, I swallowed hard. "Look away," my mind screamed at me, but my body wasn't responding. He lowered his head to my ear and whispered slowly, in the most seductive way I have ever heard, "Why don't we make today a moment to remember?" This shouldn't be happening now. I know he is my mate, but he hasn't accepted me yet, and besides, he needs to rest too and not do this. He sniffed my neck and smiled. "This scent. "This scent is so satisfying," he said huskily. "But, but, but... you need to rest." I man
A week later... RILEY'S POV I closed my eyes and breathed deeply in and out. The cool wind blew on my face, and that made me lift the corners of my lips. It's the day before the full moon, and the moon goddess seems to shine on us on this day. The morning was cool, and the view of the sky from the window was really beautiful. Just a few hours, and I will be transforming into my wolf form for the first time. I opened my eyes and sighed deeply. It's been a week since Darius left the park for a trip. The day he kissed me again, there was a sudden explosion in the sky for the first time, and that got us all shocked. It is definitely the work of humans. They produce weapons like that. explosives and all. Darius had to leave to go find out what was happening, and it's been a week already since they left. He sent some letters to his mother about his well-being so she wouldn't worry, and in a few of those letters, he also told me not to worry about him. That might seem like just a norma
Riley's PovThe council of elders were all gathered in the courtyard. Mother was also present and so was Danny, Darius and Sharon. The major discussion of the meeting is about Sharon who Darius brought in.I still couldn't believe what he said about Sharon being his wife. It can't be Sharon of all people."Alpha, don't mind me if I ask this but, is she truly the mate you found? How did this all happened and when did you get married?" one of the elders asked. It is obvious all of us are confused and in disbelief of the whole matter.Darius placed his hands on hers and smiled. Seeing that gesture made my heart to skip a beat."Yes. She is my mate." he replied.The world around me froze and everything seems to come to a stop as I fixed my eyes on them. what is going on? what happened to Darius? this must be her manipulation. I thought Darius was finally falling for me before he left. I learnt all the books I can so that he will get impressed with me and change his mind about marrying som
Author's PovHe ignored her and went ahead but she went after him, asking him about his mate while running behind him.Darius said nothing until they got to his room. "Enough of these questions. I don't want to answer you right now. I need to rest and you need to rest too." he said and completely ignored her. He went to the bathroom and she made to follow him but he banged the door at her face. She silently went back and her kids went back to the lady she had see in the courtyard.She lady who looks so much like the servant Riley. She remembers her face and doubted she would ever be in Darius palace. There is no way that girl would leave in the palace. No way. She was dead. They were told she died cause of her bruises so it can't be her.She was in disbelief that Riley was still alive. She became curious to why the lady she saw looks so much like Riley. There must be something wrong somewhere.She sat on the bed and shoved the thought away. She can't keep thinking about the lady whe
