ELVA’S POVThe Lycan king goes berserk from time to time due to how long he has been away from the battlefield. Bothered that his enemies must have deemed him weak now, his power goes out of control on certain nights and he transforms to his full form, lurking about to find any threat and destroy it. But the problem is that when his power goes out of control, it is impossible for him to identify between his enemy and his foes, so he destroys anyone in sight. Only his Luna can confront him because when he sees her he sees himself.“Is that a curse?” I asked Lu.We had both been up throughout the night. I was barely able to sleep hearing that my Father had gone berserk and could even kill me if his eyes fell on me.“It’s not a curse,” Lu answered, “it’s a phenomenon. He’s a Lycan and embodies power ten times greater than what a normal werewolf would. Such power is not meant for sitting on the throne; it’s meant to be used on the battlefield.”“Oh, I see,” I said. A loud yawn escaped my
ELVA’S POVDarian returned the next morning after he had taken the warriors to their pack and left them to be led by his younger brother whom he claimed was a better warrior and battle strategist than him.Since that night he told Father that he was immortal, my mind had been burning with numerous questions to ask him. I was yet to swallow the fact that the man I had kissed and fallen in love with was immortal. It felt like a foggy dream in which I was yet to be sure of what I had seen.Darian came with a horse-drawn cart that had all the luggage he needed for his one-month stay in the castle. The guards helped him take them upstairs, and right after that, he went to have a bath. When I heard that he was done bathing, I decided to go and see him. However, the moment I opened my door and was about to step a foot out of my room, Mum met me in the corridor.“Perfect timing,” Mum said, “I was about to check if you were in your room.”I stuttered, “Any pr…problem, mum?”“Have you forgotten
DARIAN’S POV“I don’t want to wear a veil on my birthday,” Elva cried in my arms. “I’m trying my best, Darian. Why can’t I just shift for once?”“I’ll clock twenty soon. There has never been a late bloomer who stayed up to twenty before finally being able to shift. Am I cursed?!”I wrapped my arm over her shoulder, hoping to bring comfort to her spirit. Then I whispered to her, “It will all be fine, Elva. There’s still hope.”Last night was the most embarrassing moment of our lives. The king’s words came harsh on both of us. If only I had known that he would lose his temper to the extent of using those harsh words on his own daughter. To make matters worse, the queen was also on his side.“There’s nothing we can do about this, Darian. Just admit it. I’m not a werewolf,” She said, sniffing back some tears that were about to burst out.How could I tell her that I was even feeling the same way at this point? I’d tried everything I could. That was even the reason I slept with her, hoping
ELVA’S POV“It’s the eve of my birthday. I’ve borne this shame of not being able to shift for years. I’ve been through so many heartbreaking experiences and I almost took my own life this year. Moon Goddess, if really I am one of your children, answer my prayer and release my wolf for me,” I prayed as tears trickled down my cheeks.“Are you praying to the Moon Goddess for your inability to shift?” I heard Selena sneer from behind me.I stood up from the bedside where I knelt. Staring at her with tears in my eyes, I challenged her.“What is wrong with you? You used to be so nice to me. I took you as my own sister. What is wrong with you, Selena?”“Hold it right there! I’m the one who took you as my own sister. I’m the one who welcomed you here with open arms only for you to go behind trying to take everything that belongs to me,” she said.“I swear to the Moon Goddess, I’ve never for one day had such thoughts about you,” I said, more tears rolling out, “I cherished you. When I had no c
DARIAN’S POVI held my sword as I waited for Demian to return from the Foghill pack. They were the closest pack to ours, and I heard they were among the packs who tried to bring us down the moment they heard that my father was weak. Demian had gone there to kill all of them. They were a pack whom we had helped countless times, not knowing that one day they’d repay our kindness with evil.But even though Demian had gone there to do justice for what they had done to our pack, my anger was bubbling out of the kettle for him. For taking the life of our own father, I was going to bring him to justice as well.The corpses of two elders hung in the center of the pack. Some omegas had told me that those were the elders who wanted to overthrow my father before Demian intervened. He had mercilessly torn their guts out and their lifeless bodies with flies perching their eyes, hung there for everyone to see, including their own children.Unlike me, Demian could be ruthless at times. He was a mean
ELVA’S POVThe castle began to flood with numerous guests as the night drew closer. I was shocked by the number of people who were already in the castle at dusk.Alphas came with their Lunas, all of them dressed in majestic outfits. There were so many handsome and beautiful werewolves coming into the castle. I’d been peeping from my room the whole time, anxiously waiting for the evening to come.I knew that the nervousness I’d feel by then was unfathomable but there is always a first for everything.“Elva!” I heard Mum’s voice from the door.I opened the door and she hurried in and then closed it. Excitement was all over her as she took me to the window to show me something.I was staring at Mum with surprise. Apart from my first week in the Haelstrom pack, I had never seen her this giddy. What could it be that she wanted to show me?However, my mind already had something it suspected to be what Mum wanted to show me. And it proved right the moment she pointed at a young handsome lad
DARIAN’S POVI paused when I saw Elva with Alpha Granth, his arms around her waist. But I wasn’t bothered. That man had about four mates already. I only hoped he had no intentions of wooing her, else I wouldn’t mind challenging him.However, at the moment, I felt very bad for arriving late for Elva’s birthday party. Well, better late than never, right? Just then. It dawned on me that Elva, whom I had been staring at, had been staring at me as well.“Darian!” She suddenly cried out, running towards me and going through the crowd dancing in the ballroom.Everyone began to gaze at the princess to know whom or where she was running to, and her motions finally led all eyes to where I stood.Elva and I embraced each other. Her blue eyes gleamed, she said to me, “I missed you so much!”I cupped her cheeks in my arm, staring into those beautiful ocean blues eyes like it had been forever since I saw them last.“I missed you too, Elva,” I told her and instantly apologized for coming late to her
DARIAN’S POVWe rushed into the bedroom and I slammed the door shut. Almost taking a step toward the beg, Elva came to a halt and returned to lock the door. As she struggled with the door, I grabbed her by the waist and kissed the back of her neck sensually.She squirmed slightly and turned around right after locking the door."Darian," she called my name."Yes, sweetheart," I answered, hoping she wasn't about to ask me some questions I didn't want to answer at that moment. Because it wasn't the right time for her to start asking if I love her or not, or if I loved her for who she was or just her body.Fortunately for me, Elva wasn't like the other werewolves I had slept with. What she said was more like a spark to the passion burning between the both of us."Get this dress off me!"I felt a surge of energy springing up in me as she let out those words.Quickly, without even the slightest form of delay, I bent down and grabbed the hem of her gown from down below, raising it up until i
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
