Rhys' POV“Leave me alone, you disrespectful monsters! I can't believe you would treat a royal this way!” A loud shrill filled my ears and my lips slowly curled into a smirk. In one swift movement, I turned my neck to stare at the reason for the noise, and my heart couldn't be more glad. Jayden’s little sister, Stephanie, was dragged in by my pack warriors and her loud yells excited me in some way. I tucked my hands in my pocket and watched as Jayden’s eyes widened with terror, it seemed like it was taking too long for him to accept the truth. He shook his head, groaning as he tried to move his toe, but he kept his gaze on his little sister who was forced to the ground. Stephanie got up like she owned the whole place, pointing a finger at me, “I can't believe you could be so silly and childish. Why would you bring me to such a distasteful place? Have you lost your manners?!” She snapped, and it took the last bit of my strength to keep my hands tucked in my pocket. Stephanie ran towa
Felza's POVDays turned into weeks and weeks turned into months. My stomach grew bigger with each passing moment, and my joy knew no bounds. Being pregnant came with a lot of difficulties, like having sore feets, being physically challenged, having to put a lot of things on hold, but the fact that the child belonged to Rhys gladdened my heart. Having something to remember him was more than enough for me, and even though we won't cross paths again, I'll treat my child like the only one who matters. Axel tried several times to win my heart, but with Rhys in it, giving my heart to someone else was going to take some time. Not only take some time, it might never happen again. When Rhys banished me from the pack, it was like a part of my soul died and left me battered. Living was hard and accepting the truth became something I had to battle with, but with my pregnancy? Everything became better. I rubbed my tummy as my lips curled into a small smile, “I really can't wait to see you.” “W
Rhys' POVThreatening Jayden with his sister seemed to be the ultimate solution. He gave up the antidote and I wasted no time in releasing him. His sister, Stephanie, stared at me with her eyes filled with guilt and apologized. I must say, she was quite a princess, one that truly deserved her title. She was sensible, strong and loyal. Jayden was lucky to have someone like her as a relative. Months passed by in the blink of an eye. The pack has been peaceful since the war had stopped. Everything became easy and my daily routine became more boring with each passing day. To avoid wallowing in shame for a whole day, I went on pack patrols every morning before returning for the morning meetings just to keep the pack in shape.The rogues stopped visiting my pack, just like they never existed, but I knew deep down that Sebastian had something huge he was planning. I pushed the door open and stepped into the meeting room. My hair grew longer, but I had no intention of cutting it. They grew
Rhys' POVThey both flipped their attention to me and burst into a fit of laughter. Vanessa, Eric's mate, opened up her arms and walked towards me, “I would never forget you, baby.” she muttered, patiently waiting for Nora to jump into her arms, but she wrapped her small arm around me, shaking her head slowly, “momma forgot me.” Vanessa's eyes sank and she sucked in a breath, “momma was preparing breakfast with Dada.” Nora's eyes lit up, “breakfast? My favorite?” such a smooth talker for a two year old. I placed her in Vanessa's arms and smiled, “and what if it isn't your favorite? Won't you have a bite of momma's cooking?” Nora pressed her lips together, like she was in a deep thought, “Momma's cooking is always the best.” Just like he was jealous of his daughter's statement, Eric strode towards us, lowering slightly to stare at Nora, “what about Dada’s cooking?” Nora brought out her tongue and laughed, rendering us completely speechless. Eric's cheeks turned red and I laughed ha
Felza's POVIt's been a while since I last gave myself the self care I deserved. I kept getting into arguments with Axel and Chris even when their words were slightly true. Rhys was never coming back, but it was hard to accept that reality and move on. I was pregnant for him, but what would I tell my daughter about her father? Would she have to live without experiencing a fatherly love or I would live my whole life hiding the truth from her. The harsh, bitter truth that was hard to accept. How was I going to break it down to her? The fact that her father banished me, rejected me and left me to die in the woods during a war with rouges. He left me all alone and didn't bother to reach out to me for years.I stared at the reflection of myself in the mirror and sighed, combing my hair with a decorated brush I was given as a gift. Anyone who saw me would assume I was living the best life with people who loved me, but I actually had to battle between reality and my imaginations sometimes.
Rhys' POVWhen Nora had mentioned taking me on a date, It made me completely speechless. I'd thought she was simply trying to pull my legs, but my little kiddo meant every word. She was the incarnate of an heavenly angel, and hell, she made me crave a daughter as well. She sat across me, her small legs unable to touch the ground. Her mother had dressed her in a pretty pink dress and her hair was styled in a messy bun. Nora wasn't only Eric's daughter, she became my daughter as well. Rather than her taking me on a date, this would be my treat. Rather than leaving the pack house, I had the maids decorate the sitting spot in the garden and make us a perfect dish for a picnic date. Picnics don't really require sitting on the ground to have some sandwiches and fruits. Sitting on a white chair decorated with roses, daisies and some pretty green vines was more than enough. Nora kept looking around, her wide brown eyes taking in her surroundings. She flipped her attention to me, “Alpha, yo
Felza's POVBreakfast was meant to be a moment of rest for my weary soul, but I still couldn't get my mind off what the maid said earlier. I inhaled a deep breath and tightened my fingers around the fork, slicing the pancakes and placing them in my mouth. It tasted heavenly, soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside, but it still wasn't enough to return my lost appetite. I forced a smile, eating more of the pancakes, but a cold, flat voice made me halt and raise my head. Sapphire. She gazed at me, her voice dripping with disdain, “do you have to act that way when you're eating something I prepared? The heavenly taste is undeniable, but you still had to act that way.” I furrowed my brows, taken aback by her sentence, “did you really make this?” I asked and she rolled her eyes, “I simply told you the truth right now, but you're still asking me the same question. I'm not as nice as my brother.” “Sapphire, what the hell is wrong with you?!” Axel snapped, slamming his fists on the d
Rhys' POV“Dear Alpha Rhys, This could simply be an appreciation letter, for everything you and your Luna did during the time of my pregnancy. The Alpha, my husband, has settled the war in my pack and my son is growing quite fast. He's about two years old now, and I'm surprised by how fast time flies. I’ve heard about the news, your true intentions concerning Felza's banishment. You made a mistake, but you still have the chance to correct that wrong doing of yours. Felza is fine and Alive. She sent me a letter a few weeks ago, but I was asked not to disclose her hiding spot. I'm simply writing this letter to tell you she's fine. She's alive, so you don't have to worry anymore. When the time comes, you'll meet again. Luna Kiera” A tear slipped from my cheeks, but I wiped it harshly and read the letter over and over again, most especially the last part. It must have skipped my mind, but Kiera has
FELZA’s POVAxel had a mate? He met his mate? I still couldn't get that revelation off my head as I fought some rouges. Axel had surprised me greatly; coming to fight for my pack even when we humiliated him was a great sign of strength. A rouge charged towards me, his teeth bared, as he tried to slash his sword through my neck. I ducked and cut off his legs instead. He screamed out loud and I chuckled at how beautiful that sounded. Earlier, I couldn't handle the picture of Rhys getting tortured that way. I'd killed Lisa in the blink of an eye, and I was quite surprised I felt satisfied by it. I ran towards Rhys to give him a helping hand, “You need to rest.” “Not when I have the chance to finish this up forever.” He smiled, slashing the rouge's throat. At the same time, our gaze landed on Sebastian who was guarded with a few rouges. In just a few minutes, thousands of rouges lay dead on the ground, and I even sighted a few of Rhys' pack warriors. Axel must have freed them from the
RHYS’ POVI thought I'd experienced pain several times, but nothing could be compared to what I felt now. Sebastian had chained Felza to a chair, forcing her to watch me get tortured. In the same position, my hands were chained to the ceiling, while my legs dangled freely like I was about to get executed. Even though I couldn't see them, about two rouges continued slashing my back with a leather whip with thorns, while Lisa focused on piercing my nails with needles, serving me exactly what my men had done to her. Another slash on my back and I wondered if I could really take this anymore. “Leave him alone, please.” Felza whimpered, crying out loud, as she trembled in the chair. She'd tried closing her eyes, but each time she heard me groan, her eyes fluttered open as tears spilled down her cheeks. I'd pressed my lips together, swallowing down my groans, but when Lisa pierced my thumb, a loud groan escaped my lips, “When are you going to stop, huh?” I whispered breathlessly, closing
AXEL’S POVActing on Chris' words might as well be the most stupid thing I'd ever done. Alright, alright, his idea was the best thing that's ever happened to me. I held a banquet, the most talked about in my pack and I found a woman, a stark contrast to Felza, but she enchanted me almost immediately—my mate. I was struck by her beauty, her elegance and her kind heart. Within the last few weeks, our bond grew, and I kept thanking the moon goddess for making me find her. Every night we prepared dinner together and talked about our whole day while having our meal filled with love. Diana made sure she painted my world with beautiful colors, her smile, her laughter and her encouraging words. In just a few weeks, my life changed in ways I couldn't imagine. My aggressive nature was all gone and I couldn't thank Chris more for his perfect and slightly insane idea. “Let's serve dinner since Chris is coming over with his girlfriend.” Diana's voice settled in my ears and I smiled, turning to
LISA’S POVThe plan went extremely well. Better than I could have ever imagined. While the whole pack was asleep, hundreds of rouges—which I lead, infiltrated the Bluemoon pack. We killed a few pack warriors and kept the others chained in the dungeon, and that was just the beginning of their nightmare. Rhys had no idea what's gotten to him when he saw me. He looked shocked, perhaps by my sword dripping with blood, or with the fact that I was back to take what truly belonged to me. A day like this was perfect, perhaps the most perfect day I'd had in a few years.It felt like being on a rollercoaster, listening to the screams of the same pack warriors who made my life miserable. Picking between Rhys and his family wasn't actually a problem. I knew my rouges would get them captured before they got any far and so, I spent my time with Rhys in the dungeon. I had him chained on the wall, his legs and hands set aside like he were hung on a cross. I picked up a dagger, my favorite dagger, a
FELZA’S POV“We shouldn't have left him behind.” I whispered, as we walked through the woods. We'd managed to leave the library, but I could still feel someone on our tail. I tightened my hold on Halo, as we made our way foward, “I wonder what they're going to do to him. We have to go ba—”“No!” Eric snapped, turning to face me. His brows were furrowed deeply as he said, “I care for the Alpha, but your safety matters as well. As soon as we get to Vanessa's, we'll think of a plan to get him out of there.” He seemed sincere, but there was a chilling glint in his eyes when he gazed at me. I swallowed hard and nodded, hoping the moon goddess would keep my husband safe. Halo tightened her hold around my neck, sniffing as a few drops of her tears caressed my skin, “would father be fine? We still have a memories to fill, to make. He's coming back right?” Unsure of the answer, I nodded slowly, “He will come back.” I assured Halo, or maybe I was assuring myself as well. We walked for a few mo
RHYS’ POV“Rouges” “Rouges” They were definitely behind Nora's death. Eric took slow strides towards me, “they must have used the secret entrance to sneak in at night.” And only Nora could have given them the exact spot of the secret entrance; it explained why Sebastian tortured her to death. I balled my hands into fists, anger surging through my veins. I weaved my hands through my hair, gritting out, “we have to kill them all.” “Or you have to get your family to safety. They're taking over the entire pack house. They've killed almost all our men. They infiltrated the pack at night. If we fight against them, we would lose our lives.” For the first time, I felt the urge to punch Eric in the face for being a coward. “You expect me to leave the pack house in ruins? Fleed just because I want to be safe?” “You have a daughter. She's only four; do you want her to live without a father?!” Eric yelled back, his eyes glistening with tears. He ran towards the door, locked it up and faced me
FELZA’S POVIn the last few days, I'd never seen Rhys in such a dejected shape. For hours he kept staring at Nora's room, perhaps wishing she would open up the door and jump in his arms—but she didn't. He did it continuously, walking across the hallway to come to a stop in front of her room. It's been a few days, but Rhys couldn't take the news of Nora's death. Even her parents. Vanessa had refused to bury her, hoping she would sneeze and yell “momma” Her body was still preserved, but Rhys stood on having her buried. He was meant to be at his morning meeting, but here he was, staring at Nora's door with longing in his eyes. It hurt me to see him that way, but I knew how much Nora meant to him. Even with the few moments my daughter and I spent here, I could tell he loved her as much as he loved Halo. Perhaps even more. I cleared my throat and placed my hand on his shoulder, “you should be having your meeting, Rhys.” “The pack is fine.” His hoarse voice rang out, clenching my heart. I
RHYS’ POV“This is for you.” I placed some meatball on Halo's plate, watching as her cheeks flushed red, “thanks, dad.” she smiled, slowly reaching for her fork to begin eating breakfast. Felza had volunteered to prepare breakfast for everyone today, stunning Vanessa for a few seconds. Her gaze lingered on Felza for a while, “I'm yet to have a taste, but I'm sure this would taste heavenly.” She commented, and Felza smiled brightly, “then I hope everyone enjoys it.” I picked up my fork, but I noticed the absence of my second daughter, Nora. Her space was vacant, and Vanessa seemed to be aware of it. I frowned slightly and flipped my attention to her, “where's Nora? It's unlike her to be late for breakfast.” I said, watching as Vanessa slowly placed a meatball in her mouth. She wiped her mouth and leaned backwards, “we had an episode last night. She still refused to tell me about her supposed mate.” “And?” “She's probably sulking, still upset from what happened last night.” She conti
LISA’S POVDragging witches to Sebastian's presence seemed to be my job today. Sebastian kept killing them to satisfy his bloodthirsty urge, snapping their necks just because they enraged him. I hate to admit it, but I felt some kind of pity for them. He was just about to kill another because she refused to speak to him. And when she did, Sebastian smiled brightly at the gem he'd just found. He walked around her, circling her like a desperate predator, “I've been capturing your kind for the last few years, but no one's ever given me the answer and the solution I truly desired. With you, I can tell that my victory is near.” he raised her chin to gaze into her eyes and she smirked, “Since it's nearly midnight, we should proceed now.” Her voice was soft, but the chilling glint in her eyes couldn't be compared to another. She was just like me, slightly different in her own ways. I leaned against the soft cushion and tapped my feets on the ground, watching the interaction between Sebasti
