ELVA’S POV “Go get her,” Father nodded to the guards who were stationed beside us as we ate. All of them made a U-turn and matched toward the throne door with immediate effect. No one dared waste a second before executing Father’s command. The huge metal door swung open and the guards matched out of the throne room. Not long after they had left, they came marching back into the throne room in twos, with a beautiful pink-haired girl behind them. About ten steps before the dining table the soldiers stopped and made a walking path between them for the pink-haired girl. She caught a loose tendril of her pink hair between two fingers and tucked it back behind her ear, igniting a warm smile on her face as she began to walk slowly, her hips swaying. I gently dropped my fork on the table as I watched her approach us in the most elegant manner. Her slender body behind that cherry red gown she wore, the fluid motion of her elegant catwalk, her light and graceful smile. Everything about her
ELVA'S POV The moment Selena sat down, Lucius came walking in through the door. "Princesses!" His vibrant youthful voice rang cheerfully as he bounced in. His demeanor was so different from what it normally was. Maybe he had an alter ego because as much as I could remember, he had always been a serious person, carrying his sword about looking for someone to train with. But today, having returned from training and taken his bathe, his spirit seemed different as he was dressed in a casual turtleneck shirt and had no armor anywhere on him. He noticed the surprised look on my face and smiled. "Are you surprised that I came out this fast?" He asked me. "Kinda... Yeah..." I stuttered cause it hadn't been up to six minutes since we met him returning from training. He came to a stop and cleared his throat, and I could sense he was about to boast of one thing or the other. Probably about how he does things as a MAN. "As a warrior," he began, putting his two arms on his waist, slightl
NOLAN’S POV“I, Nolan Feuggman, heir to the Alpha throne of the Nightfrost wolf pack, hereby swear before you, the great white wolf, that I did not take the life of my previous mate, Elva, or cause her to take her own life. If my words are false, may I lose my own life right here before you…”Sigh.“C’mon, Jack, this is the fourth we’ve been now still swearing. I didn’t kill Elva. I love her with my life and you all know that. Why would I kill her?”“Wait till we get home,” he said. His voice, though quiet, had an ominous quality.My heart exploded when I got home only to sleep and wake up to hear that Jack had been going around and throwing shades on my name. I had to confront him immediately when the news got to my ears.“Enough of this rubbish, Jack. How dare you?” I barged into his house and walked up to him just untying the lace of his shoes. It seemed he had just returned from somewhere. Probably somewhere he had gone to speak ill of me.“So much boldness for a murderer,” he rema
NOLAN’S POV Lydia left the room immediately after we were done. She looked so satisfied as she left before Mum could find out what we did. Although it was okay for us werewolves to marry our distant cousins, Lydia’s father was more like a brother to my father. He was younger than my father and they had grown up together until he decided to find his own world. Unfortunately, things didn’t turn out how he had expected. But even when my father gave him open arms to return to the pack, he still stayed glued to his decision of finding his world. When evening came, I went to meet Father where he usually stayed watching the sun go down a sight at the outskirts. “Father,” I called him as I reached the top of the rocky hill where he was. “You knew I’d be here,” he said without turning back. It was like a ritual for him to watch the sun go down. He’d stay there until the moon came up before he returned home—his little quiet place. “Who doesn’t know that this is where to find you at dusk?”
ELVA’S POV A year had passed, but Father hadn’t let me leave the palace. He promised me that he’d reveal me to the kingdom on my birthday and it was going to be a big day. Throughout the previous year, the farthest place I could go was the palace gate and a garden behind the palace where Mother planted daisies and dandelions. The only person from outside the palace walls who had been able to get a glance of my face was the pack artist. He came every month to paint a picture of me for Mother. The first month of the new year had just ended, and our artist had come to do his job. “Elva! You’re still dressed in your casual wear!” Mum exclaimed when she saw me descending the magnificently decorated twirling stairs, painted white and gold on the rails, with a red carpet covering the stairs. “Is the artist here already?” I asked. “Yes,” A subtle voice came from under the stairs, where the artist’s chair was usually kept whenever he was done painting. But it wasn’t the artist creeping ou
ELVA’S POV “Good morning, father… Good morning, mother…” “Good morning, my beautiful daughter,” Father said to me. My face went to the man who stood beside Father and I wondered if I had ever seen him in the palace or not. There were many servants, and I couldn’t boast of knowing them all by face, even after staying a year in the palace. But his outfit didn’t look like a servant’s. He wore a gray satin shirt atop brown trousers. When my eyes glanced at his shoes, I became certain that he wasn’t a servant. I was about to greet him when Father spoke. Pointing at the man, Father said, “Daughter, from today, Mr. Stewart, here, will be your trainer. He’s a werewolf from a distant pack who is an expert at teaching people how to control their wolves. His methods are proven and he’d be in charge of both your physical and mental training to awaken and control your wolf.” Lucius had been the one tutoring me all this while. He had been generous enough to make out time to train his big siste
ELVA’S POV I scrammed the bathroom the moment I heard a knock on my door. It was time for my first training with Mr Stewart and I was almost running late. I hadn’t thought it through before going into the bathroom to bathe. I’d still get dirty from the training, so it made no sense now that I had taken my bath. “Who’s there?” I asked as I forced my legs through my blue underwear. “It’s me,” Selena’s voice came from behind the door. I rushed to the door. “Sorry I locked the door,” I said as she came in, “I was taking my bath.” “These are your training uniforms,” she said, handing over a stack of folded clothes to me. I received it from her and she turned, leaving without saying one more word. Mum or Dad seemed to have just woken her from sleep to give me the uniforms. Her room was very close to theirs, making her the most accessible person whenever they needed to send someone on an errand. The uniforms were of three different colors; each consisting of a long-sleeve shirt and a
ELVA'S POV I rushed back to the palace as fast as my feeble feet could carry me. When I got there, the maids rushed up to me. "Please, hurry and come with us, princess!" Nana said. She was one of the oldest maids we had in the palace, so kind and loyal as a person. But most times, she demonstrated fear toward Mother and Selena. I couldn't tell why. "What is going on, Nana?" I asked her. "A prince is on his way to the palace. You can't be presented like this," she said as she dragged me along. "Hold on, Nana. What do you mean by presented?" I asked. But just then, I caught sight of Selena dressed more elegant than I had ever seen her, strolling along the corridor like an angel in a garden of daisies. That was when I understood what Nana meant by "Presented." "Nana, if this is about dressing nice and..." "There's no time, my princess. As you can see, Princess Selena is already set," Nana said, pushing open the door to my room, with two Julie and Sarah, two other maids, right behi
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
