DARIAN'S POV"I lead a battalion of modified creatures here in this castle. If you think you can defeat them by ganging up against me, I'd like you to take your shot! I am your Alpha and you all bear my mark. I have told you that I'll assume duty completely in less than sixty days. But if you can't be that patient, then you're free to come at me with whatever you've got!""We have questions!" Someone yelled from amidst the angry mob that gathered in front of my castle."Those questions will be answered by the end of the next month," I said to him, "please, go back to your homes and return to your individual duties. I'm begging now, but I may not beg you again."About fifteen minutes later, all of them were gone. I sighed as I walked back into the house."How do they expect to defeat my devas?" I chuckled, "They've tried poisoning me at first and now they intend to rebel against me. People could be foolish at times."I still had some months to serve my punishment. After then, I'd expla
ELVA'S POVI had succeeded in convincing Jeffrey that I had developed feelings for him. For the past few months we had been together all the time. He often visited the Haelstrom kingdom. And with his constant visits, the pack felt a bit assured that they were soon going to have an Alpha.Whenever he visited, I'd take him into the kingdom. We'd hold hands, strolling and visiting places.But Jeffrey had a problem with me. I hadn't let him have sex with me since we started dating and it made him annoyed and suspicious as well. I didn't even let him share the same bed with him.I was about going to bed one night when he opened my door and walked in with his nightwear.I had just closed my eyes to sleep before he came.I opened my eyes up, "Jeffrey, I thought you've gone to bed."I had been with him on the corridor, and we had kissed before saying goodnight and going to our separate rooms."Sweetheart," he said to me."Yes, dear," I answered. It was so hard for me to call him those sweet n
ELVA'S POVA maid knocked on the door the next morning and I woke up from sleep."What's is?" I asked."It's your breakfast," she said from the door."I didn't ask to be served breakfast in the room today," I grumbled.Immediately, I opened the door, Jeffrey came walking in with a tray of food in his hands.I glanced at the maid who had knocked and then back at Jeffrey. Tired, I turned around and watched him as he took the tray to my nightstand."I came to apologize for last night," he said, "I'm sorry, I messed up your sleep, so I made you this special breakfast.""That's thoughtful of you," I said, yawning.Both my wolf and I were extremely famished."Don't worry about what happened yesterday," I said to him, "I didn't take any offense.""I noticed," he said, "come let's eat together.""I haven't washed my mouth yet," I said to him, heading into the bathroom immediately.As I brushed, I wondered what he had in his mind. He couldn't just possibly come this morning to apologize for ye
Elva’s POVI stood before him, bathed in the ethereal glow of the full moon.My heart pounded in my chest, anticipation mingling with nervousness. The air crackled with electric energy, signaling the profound moment about to unfold. Jeffrey, my one true mate, stood tall and commanding, his eyes reflecting the fervor that consumed us both.He approached me slowly, his gait purposeful yet gentle. I shivered as his fingers grazed my cheek, tracing the contours of my face. Our eyes locked, and at that moment, I knew there was no force stronger than the bond that united us. The ache in my chest transformed into an overwhelming desire, a yearning that could only be fulfilled by him.The moon cast cascading shadows on his chiseled face, highlighting the raw intensity in his gaze. His lips met mine, igniting a fierce fire within. The touch was gentle, yet every brush ignited a primal hunger, a longing I could no longer deny. Our mouths moved in perfect rhythm, a dance of need and longing as i
ELVA'S POV On turning to meet Darian, I couldn't find my words. My lips quaked as I tried to say his name. "D…De…Demian," I helplessly stuttered, my eyes welling up with tears. "Elva," he took a step closer, "my beautiful Elva." "No," I whispered, "this isn't real." "It's happening right before your eyes. I'm back, Elva," he said to me. It turned around to the maids, "Somebody, get me water, please." On saying that, I fell forward immediately and Darian rushed to catch me in his arms before I could reach the floor. Landing in his arms, his scent reignited my body with the memories of the last time we were together. The muscles of his arms seemed to have reduced, but they still gave me that same feeling of comfort and safety I always had whenever I rested on them. "Are you alright?" He worriedly asked. "I'm…" my chest was heaving up and down with slight motions. I gazed into his face, tracing from his blue eyes down to his perfect jawlines which had been covered with some bea
ELVA'S POV It was the eve of Demian's wedding. The whole place was swarming with guests walking about. As festive creatures, we cooked a lot of food and served wine at all ceremonies. The aroma of spices danced into people's noses as they walked about. Many of them who were visiting Demian's pack for the first time took their time exploring the place. Darian was quite occupied, helping out with the preparation of many things for the wedding. I had thought I'd get to spend some private moments with him, but it turned out to be the opposite. I decided to walk around and maybe get to meet some new friends. There were lots of beautiful Lunas attending the wedding. I could make friends with one or two of them. There was no harm in a trial. As I walked along a lonely corridor in the backyard which was poorly illuminated, I felt my temperature rising again, my heart beating in an unimaginable pattern. It made me want to purge and I quickly ran to a toilet immediately. When I got into
DARIAN'S POV "Who the fuck are you?" I asked the guy who stumbled upon Elva and I making out. "Are you daft?" He countered, "We just met some minutes ago. Well, first of all, get away from her!" His voice was challenging, showing that he was entirely serious about what he had just said. Get away from Elva? For what? Who did he think he was? "Elva, come over here," he stretched an arm toward Elva, "come back to me and don't get used by someone lecherous werewolf." "Who the hell is this guy?" I quickly turned and asked Elva. But she ignored me and faced the guy instead. "Enough of this madness, Nolan!" She thundered, "I don't have anything to do with you anymore!" At this point, I was entirely lost. I had never seen Elva with this man or even perceived his scent once. "Is he one of the men you tried to marry when I was serving?" I asked her, thim in a soft tone. "No," she answered, turning back to me, "this is Nolan Blackwell, my former fated mate who broke our bond without lo
ELVA'S POV After breakfast the next morning, I noticed that the nausea which I had been feeling due to Nolan's presence back then at the party had vanished. Smiling had been very difficult for me until this morning. Lu and his mate had been so clingy since the previous night. They rarely came out of his room. I wondered if he had already claimed her or if he was waiting to get to know her well enough before doing that. Darian had woken up very late. He was coming down for breakfast when I was racing up the stairs to get back to my room. He was wearing a furry brown coat, with his hands tucked into the pockets of the coat. The morning was chilly to some extent, but since I got up from the bed and ran around the castle, I'd felt warmer. "Good morning!" I hugged him. His arms slid out of his pockets, going down my waist and circling around it, and then he pulled me closer. "You're lighting up the world with your smile this morning, Elva," he said, his affectionate gaze buried dee
ELVA'S POVI was feeling very weak but surprised that the wolfsbane didn't affect me much. Almost as if I was going to die, I longed for Darian to come save me. I couldn't believe that I had been such a big fool who believed Nolan. I let him take such a big advantage on me.I heard noises like someone was fighting outside. I couldn't move, just sat there completely glued to the chair. My heart was pounding in my chest right now.The door suddenly burst open revealing Nolan. " You? What do you want?" I yelled at him.He didn't answer my question but just ran over to my side and untied me. " Let go of me, let go!"He gripped my hand tight. " We don't have much time and your stupid lover boy isn't here yet so I had to hurry back to get my men and save you," he explained.I didn't even have much strength. "Why isn't the wolfsbane affecting you?" He inquired." Because I'm a silver wolf," I answered him." Ohh," he trailed, nodding his head. " We better get going, I heard Haelstrom is unde
DARIAN'S POVElva hasn't come down and it's been quite some time now but yet I haven't even seen a glimpse of her. It was driving me insane because the palace was getting all filled up with Elva nowhere to be seen.I couldn't take it anymore and ran up to her room hoping that she would be there. I arrived and didn't even see Elva there. Her dress was still on top of the bed so that means she didn't go far.I checked the bathroom and closet but she was nowhere to be seen. My heart was pounding wondering where the hell she could have gone. I knew that she was so nervous but I never expected her to run away just like that.I should have tried harder. I didn't comfort her well and now she's gone, it's entirely my fault that she's gone. It's all my fault.I tried not to jump to any conclusions thinking that she probably wouldn't have gone far. I wanted to tell my beta but decided to just make sure that I could find her before jumping to conclusions.I called her phone multiple times but sh
ELVA's POVToday was D-day. I didn't feel any different rather I felt like nothing. I looked at my dress with different thoughts running through my mind, I didn't even know what to do or if I would ever be able to be a good Luna.I was sure that Darian didn't worry whether or not I was still with but it still troubled me daily and it's been very hard not to think about it. My body was somehow trying to correspond with my current situation.My face was filled with lots of unwritten expressions. I should have gotten ready but I couldn't bring myself to. I tried so hard not to give in to my thoughts but rather it was more disturbing to my mind, making my headache.I heard a knock on my door. I turned to go answer it. I opened it and saw Darian standing there looking charming as ever with such a handsome look. He was dressed in a normal black tuxedo and his head tied perfectly." You look charming," I complimented.He chuckled a bit and made a move to enter but I just blocked him. " This
NOLAN'S POVThe thought of having to lose my position weakened me. I couldn't visualize myself not being the alpha, I had to find a way to get Elva back at least to trick the people even if it's just for a little while.I thought that maybe I could try to get to them by using the nice guy stuff on them. I even tried making a great deal with Darian but that annoying asshole didn't even give a shit or cared about it.I thought that he would succumb to it once I promised to break the bond but it didn't help one bit. Instead, it made him more adamant and brutal and bluntly refused right to my face.I had to think of something and I had to get on with a plan fast otherwise all this would be gone. I noticed someone present in the room, I looked up at him only to find out that it was just a guard. The last thing I needed right now was bad news." What do you want?"" Good afternoon alpha," he greeted. " You have a guest," he told me.I raised my head, wondering who the guest could be. I knew
DARIAN'S POVI knew that the guy could never be nice. I knew that he was up to something which was definitely for his benefit. It was easy to grasp that this was just all of his plan and a way to make him let go of Elva so he could finally get what he's been longing for.I didn't know whether or not to tell Elva about it trying not to get her stressed out. We've only been back at his pack for a week now but a lot had been going on, I didn't want to stress her much, especially with the fact that her coronation was coming up.I shrugged off the thought and decided to go for a swim. I changed into just my boxers and jumped into the pool at once. It was just some kind of way for me to relax my body and let out all of my inner stress.Nolan could come ahead and fool anyone but he's most definitely not going to fool me because I could easily see right through his plan. It was more than clear that this was all of his motive and plan.I decided in my mind that I would try my best to make sure
DARIAN'S POVThe dead weight of what I had gotten myself into was mortifying. I didn't mean to lash out at Fabian just like that in front of everyone but I had just had more than enough from him and wanted nothing more but to just put him back in his place.I heard a knock on my door. I immediately composed myself and had to clear my throat before attending to the person at the door."It's me, Logan," I heard him say.I heaved a big sigh and drastically opened the door with different emotions popping up in me. " What do you want?" I asked, not really in the mood to see him" I came here to see you," he replied.I further opened the door, giving him more access to my room. He entered my room. " Sit," I offered him a chair not far from the couch.He sat down on the chair looming around the room. I could easily tell that he was hesitant to talk probably because of how intimidating I was sometimes and now he's debating in his mind." Are you going to speak or should I chase you out?" I thr
DARIAN'S POV" Are you kidding me? So you're telling me that he wants the throne instead?" Elva asked after I narrated the entire incident to her.I nodded in response and my eyes widened with shock. She tried eating something but right at the same time, no words came out of her mouth. She just kept quiet for a minute." So, what are your plans now?" She finally spoke up.I didn't even know whether or not I had a plan but something was for sure and it was making things more and more intense for me. My head was stuck with lots of mess." He just thinks that I'm not capable enough but I'll make sure to prove to him that it's beyond what he thinks," I said.She looked at me with a warm smile on her face as my beta came in with some sort of worried look on his face. I prayed and hoped that it wasn't any sort of trouble because I had to deal with more than enough." Good evening alpha Darian," he greeted, with a slight bow.I immediately ushered him back up, trying not to stress him much s
ELVA'S POV I seldom sat at the window side, counting all the days it's been without Ruya. He was finally gone and that empty feeling was back there in me once again, it was a feeling of pain and pure relief.My new wolf — Stephano wasn't a pain in the ass like Ruya and that was exactly what I liked about her. She may seem rude but rather she was lively and we got along well in such a way that even I couldn't describe it.I got off my feet and left the room deciding to go for a walk round the garden. I've been indoors for quite some time now and now I've subdued the fact that all I needed was just a little outing to get me going.I decided to let off the guards but they weren't too far off from me either. I just had to have them with me in case of anything and speaking of trouble, that was when I noticed Nolan not too far away.I made sure to stay at a safe distance where it would be easy to alarm the guards in case anything happened. I thought of walking over to him to try to get to
FABIAN’S POV"What do you mean she's a silver wolf?" I yelled out loud.I couldn't have been more furious with this discovery that had just been made. I can't believe that the more I thought that I was closer to achieving my goal, the more it was becoming useless for me.The girl whose name was Celia shrieked as I thundered loudly at her. My heart was totally pierced right now with this new maud discovery wishing I had known earlier which was why I made her go as a spy to the palace.She told me that some maids got a clue of what she was doing and just what she was up to. I couldn't let anyone discover what we've been up to so I made sure that she found a way to get rid of them.I had always kept a good reputation and couldn't risk having Darian suspecting me otherwise that would just ruin my entire plan and she would be the cause of it. I couldn't go back now so if she was planning anything she had better back down otherwise I would kill her with my own bare hands.She didn't even re
