SUBMISSION: Rise of the Bastards CHAPTER 12: I AM NO FOOL
CHAPTER 11: I AM NO FOOL Ruby's POV "Mark me!" I demanded the next morning from Vincent. "Ruby! I told you that it needs to be special for you," he growled. "I marked you! Your wolf will surely reject my mark if you don't do it soon!" I lied. "I'm no fool, Ruby," he sighed, shaking his head at me. "That is fine by me. How about we get this rejection over with so I can go back to fucking the wolf I fell in love with before you came your lying ass along," I confessed just as he wrapped his hand around my throat. His eyes were pitch black, indicating that his wolf pushed forward. "Take your hands off of me!" I growled, slashing him across the face. "Seriously?" he asked, shaking off his wolf. "Beta Vincent, I am a Duchess from the Kingdom of Tirado. I assure you I am very well trained and will not allow you or anyone else to put their hands on me," I reminded him. "Understood. The thought of you with another male just set my wolf and me off. I would never hurt you, Ruby," he said, inh

Swan's POV "McKenna!" I called out once I made my way to them. "Sorry, it took so long. I didn't want to lead them to you both. We need to get to my parents. I know they won't be safe," she said, exasperated. "I know, but will they leave?" I asked. "They have already agreed during my last visit. I told them to be ready," she replied. "This won't end well," my grandmother, Gertrude, whispered to me as we picked up our pace. "What has happened, grandmother?" I asked carefully that McKenna did not hear our conversation. "I cannot say for sure, but what happens next will take both of us to pull her back together," my grandmother replied, pointing at a running McKenna. “Are you going to be okay leaving you know who behind?” my grandmother asked. “I cannot talk about him right now. McKenna doesn’t know,” I sighed. “I would not have you risk it all for an old lady like me,” she replied. “You are what’s remaining of my family. You took me in when my parents wanted me out. I owe you my life,”

Swan's POVI cannot believe what I am witnessing from afar, but it makes my heart swell with happiness."McKenna found her mate!" I squealed to my grandmother. "Keep it down, silly girl! I'm sure they're both still trying to process many things. I feel the anxiety all the way over here," my grandmother snapped. "Such a grumpy old she-wolf. Remind me why I risked my life to save yours again," I smirked. "Because I raised you, and you love me," she chuckled. "Hmm, I am beginning to second guess my choices in life," I fake pouted, earning a smack to the back of the head. "I love you too, stubborn girl," she smiled before pulling me from the door.Although I was overjoyed for Kenna, it made me remember the mate I left behind to flee the royal guard. My heart ached, but there have been tales that say the bond weakens at a distance. I'm starting to wonder when that will be because my wolf will not even shift for me because of her sadness. Her constant whimpering in my head nearly makes me w

Marlene's POVIt's been over a month since McKenna and Swan moved here. If I'm being honest, I wanted to flee. I cannot risk Beta Vincent finding out about our pup, Marlo. He’s already taken so much from me and threw me to the side like a worthless she-wolf."Are you okay, child?" Gertrude approached and asked. "Yes, I am wonderijg what flowers I should plant near the front," I lied. "You are doing a terrible job of lying, dear. What's really eating you, kid?" she asked. "I know you all have been here for a little while, but I do wonder how long would it take for the kingdom to find you all. I am terrified that Beta Vincent will discover what I managed to keep hidden from him for two years. It's been tough raising Marlo alone," I confessed. "Are you referring to little, Marlo? Of course, you are. They will not come to find us until years from now. That, I can assure you," She said, placing a hand on my shoulder. “How are you so sure of these things? You said it yourself, things can sh

McKenna's POVThe Alpha King arranged for us to meet in the dark of night in the countryside. I hated to lie to my mate. So, I was honest with Jubilee. He was against it, but I disappeared before he had come back from welding. With the help of Gertrude, I was able to hide my scent so he could not track me. I knew this would be frowned upon but the king is threatening to take one of my pups, Tavi from us. I was grateful that he only knew of one."How did you find me?" I asked Alpha King Lincoln. "Where is my daughter?" He asked. "She's not here. Please, just let me live out my days in peace,” I begged. "McKenna, why won't you be mine? This started as a quest with you, but I have always desired you in such a way that I could never admit to my mate. Maybe the Moon Goddess made a mistake," he reasoned. "The Moon Goddess makes no mistakes!" I yelled. “You love Antionette, but you lust for me. That is not love, Alpha. You thirst for me because you can no longer have me. That, my lord, is no

Ten years later... Octavia's POV I heard knocking on the door in my sleep but I rolled over and ignored it. "Happy birthday, Tavi!" my parents and little brother greeted me. "Thank you," I croaked before rolling back over. "Tavi! Get up. Your father and I really need to speak with you about something significant," she said, shaking me back awake just as a knock came at the door. “It is much too early for this,” I pouted. “This is no laughing matter. It’s about what we spoke about long ago,” my father interrupted. “Yes, father?” I groggily asked. I looked over at my parents, who shared knowing looks of panic. "What's wrong?" I asked as the banging on the door became louder. "One minute! I am not descent!" My mother lied before my father shuffled to the door in front of her. "Tavi, please forgive us," my mother said, nodding to my father to open the door. There were at least five men dressed in armor bearing the crest of the crown on their chest. "What has happened?" I asked, feel

Queen Antoinette's POV"I can't believe he's bringing his bastard here! How did they survive? I thought you killed them that night!" I yelled at Beta Vincent. "I thought we did. Once we arrived at her parents' shack, it had been set afire. I was sure they were burned alive," he said, looking as confused as I was. "He's your fucking best friend and brother! How is it possible that you had no clue that he's known where they lived this entire time? Do you know who he dispatched? They could tell us their whereabouts," I pointed out. "No, the king has been quite secretive of his latest movements over the years, but my source tells me that he has an informant. He's known where they lived since the night they vanished or not long after. I've even heard that he's kept a close eye on them over the years," he replied. "You are useless to me! GET OUT!" I angrily yelled right as my children walked into my quarters and greeted me.Their smiles were replaced with worried frowns. They came to my sid

Octavia's POVNearly three years later..."The kingdom of Tirado, Valaris, Koda, Cassius, and Santak will be at tonight's celebration,” my best friend, Tilly explained.I tuned out at the word "kingdom." I hated these festivals. I'm nearly sixteen and I still did not understand why they were such a big deal."Are you ready for the celebration?" My best friend, Tilly cheerfully asked. "Not really. Why do we have to go?" I asked. "Because it is our chance to find our mates and possibly leave this place," she replied. "Tilly, my birthday isn't for another few months. I can't find a mate no matter if I go or not, I reminded her. "Crap! You're right!" She sadly said. "What's wrong?" I asked noticing her sudden change of mood. "I've been sixteen for some time now. If I find my mate tonight he would surely be from another pack. I would leave you within the year I turn seventeen," she reminded me, but I sensed she was hiding something. “Oh shit, you're right. Maybe my true mate will be his be

SUBMISSION: Rise of the Bastards CHAPTER 100: I WANTED IT TO END
Octavia's POVThe hours ticked by but mentally I was absent from the present. I missed Jubilee. He was my father, a best friend, and a teacher. If he were here he would tell me to get my shut together. But he’s not….I sighed before heading to check on Violet. "Are you going to be okay?" I asked Violet. "I cannot believe Killian hurt you in plain sight. What do you think triggered his anger this time?" I asked exasperated. "I know Killian attacked me because he was pissed to see me with Oscar again, but I think it had to happen. I no longer have to carry Lex's pup. I know I shouldn't be happy for such things, but I was going to end my life once the pup was born," she confessed. "What?!" I asked in shock. "Yeah. I was going to walk off of the cliff or drink too much and drown myself. There were endless possibilities and I thought of them all," she shrugged. "Well, I'm glad you're okay," I said rubbing her forehead. “Me too, thanks to my little sister, Vidalia," she smiled. "Yeah, I'm
SUBMISSION: Rise of the Bastards CHAPTER 99: IT'S A SETUP
Alpha King Vincent's POV "It's been a long time," I heard a familiar voice say. It was the voice of someone I would kill before the night was over. "Elena! You bitch! How dare you show your face around here! Where's my pup?” I growled catching her by the throat. "D-Death is imminent. You reek of it," she croaked. "Is that a threat?" I asked nearly crushing her wind pipe just as I heard the ripping of flesh behind me. I tossed Elena to the ground. I placed my foot on her neck so that her face stayed buried in the dirt. "NO! There’s no fucking way!" I shouted over the thunderous cries of Lex's mother and a disappointed growl from his father. How is this possible? There's no way her wolf should have been able to defeat Lex's. Black magic! That's the only reason this would happen. That's it. She’s a WITCH! "Somebody has killed our warriors in the dining hall!" I heard Lawrence growl just as I heard screams erupt in front of me from Violet who looked to have been injured. "KILL THEM
SUBMISSION: Rise of the Bastards CHAPTER 98: ON MY HONOR
Octavia's POV"When does your father return?" I asked Essex. "I heard word was sent a few days ago where I'm sure he's been held up with one of his whores," he replied rolling his eyes. "And your mother is just okay with that?" I asked annoyed. "I think she tries not to think about it. Regardless of what you may think of my mother, she has always done her best to raise us alone while my father fought in wars, chased whores, and beat her. She's not perfect, but I will protect her until my last breath," he sighed. "As I expect you to. How did you turn out to be...YOU? Lex is a manipulative little cunt, but you seem more honest. Why did you give up your claim to the Kingdom of Tirado?" I asked. "My father convinced me to do so. The Kingdom of Cassius would be a good move for the kingdom of Tirado. If only I had known Rose’s father never intended for me to take over. Apparently, I wasn't good enough to follow him or my father. I trained harder, ran faster, and became smarter than them bot
SUBMISSION: Rise of the Bastards CHAPTER 97: YOU'RE GOING
Taysia's POV "You're going and that's final!" My father shouted at me. "Father, I cannot go back to Tirado. Alpha Lex hurt me!" I cried. "You set yourself up for what we he did! Are you upset that he chose the bastard over you?" My father growled. "NO! I swear it doesn't matter! Duke Sayid is my mate!" I protested. "Then what is the matter with you?" He snapped. "Father, do not make her go back. He is a maniac! Tell him what he really did to you!" Rose interjected. "Well?" My father asked and I shook my head in shame. My father stormed out enraged, but not before mandating that both me and Rose be there for the challenge. "You should have told father that Alpha Lex shoved the same disgusting pole he beats his horses with in your lady River! What are you afraid of? Shame? Embarrassment? He should be the one feeling those things! Not you!" Rose said furiously. "I know! Okay! I cannot face him. My mate is off on a mission so I cannot confide in him. In his letter, he says what he wen
SUBMISSION: Rise of the Bastards CHAPTER 96: WHY CAN’T YOU UNDERSTAND?
Adelina' POV"When are you going to tell him?" Romeo asked. "Not now, Romeo! You're stressing me out!" I shouted. "Talk to me! Is this about your parents?" he asked. "Can you both stop yelling? I'm trying to focus on my painting," Romeo's sister, Vidalia interrupted.Vidalia and I had been friends since we were pups. Lately, she's been a shell of herself. All she does is paint, train, and pottery ever since she split off from her parents."No! I mean, yes! Romeo, I want to be with Oliver. Please! Why can't you understand?" I asked frustrated. "Addie, I love you. Why can't you see that?" he asked. "I know," I grunted pushing past him. "If I may," Vidalia spoke up again. "What's stopping you from accepting Romeo as your mate? You're carrying his pup and your actual mate, Lawrence is running for his life. Not to mention, your true mate, Oliver if I understand it well, has accepted your rejection. I'm certain he knows that you're not carrying his pup by now," Vidalia explained.She paused
SUBMISSION: Rise of the Bastards CHAPTER 95: HIDDEN AGENDAS
Alpha King Lincoln's POV "Did you work him up?" I asked Violet. "Of course I did. I found the Tirado Crest as requested. It was right where his mother said it would be. Why do you all need it?" She quizzed. "It used to belong to Alpha Queen Lenora. I cannot believe it is in such good condition," I smiled. "Octavia should wear it for the challenge," she interrupted. "Precisely," I agreed. I'm sure Octavia would welcome this gift. Once Lex lays his eyes on it, I only hope it would be a reminder that he should not lead any pack. My thoughts momentarily stopped as Oliver and Jamela barged into my quarters. "My apologies, your grace, but this is urgent! Tell him what you told me," Oliver ordered Jamela. "O-okay. Klaus has been over run with Vincent's warriors!" she blurted. "THEY DID WHAT?" I roared slamming a nearby table to the ground. "UNFUCKING BELIEVABLE!" I growled sounding the alarm. Within a matter of seconds, Beta Felius came running into my chambers followed by Gamma Julius.
SUBMISSION: Rise of the Bastards CHAPTER 94: EVERYBODY HATES YOU
Alpha Lex's POVOn my way to my study, I nearly toppled over the she-wolf, Jamela. She scowled as I smirked at her trembling stature. I for one couldn't wait to see Alpha Santak. He would easily kill her with his bare hands. Too bad he's a part of Vincent's plan to take Klaus. I was happy when he whisked the Duke away too. If I'm lucky, he will die in the inevitable war. A look of disgust crept to my face the moment I spotted Octavia's parents, but I couldn't resist engaging."I see you two are wishing your sweet daughter luck. It's a good thing too because she's going to need it," I chuckled, but Alpha King Lincoln had me pinned to the wall in mere seconds. "How dare you address me as if I'm your equal, pup! You may roll around with scum like Vincent, but you must know he was never born to be an Alpha even if he shares the blood line. A true Alpha doesn't hold the red colored eyes like a rogue!" He growled cutting off my circulation.When he released his forearm from my throat I fel
SUBMISSION: Rise of the Bastards CHAPTER 93: TURNING BACK
Jamela's POV "Are you ever going to return?" Elena asked over supper. "Eventually, I have to face him," I sighed. "You didn't kill Lily! Stop letting your father, Alpha Santak get into your head," Elena snapped. "He has everyone searching for me like a maniac, but I'm not giving in that easily. I just need proof that I didn't do it," I explained. "Well, Oliver will understand. He could even help. I'm certain that he would," she reasoned. "His hands are much too full," I said dismissively. "Very well, stubborn little she-wolf. I hope you don't eat your words one day," she said clearing the table. I'm not sure why I returned to Foxchase. It could be that I knew Octavia would always know where I was or at least assumed. Maybe Oliver would come and save me from my terrible reality. Elena helped settle me in, especially after I updated her with the awful truth of the kingdoms going to shit. I wasn't sleeping, such as a night like tonight without having horrendous nightmares. Elena final
SUBMISSION: Rise of the Bastards CHAPTER 92: FEELING DISGUSTED
Violet's POVKillian had yet to sense me near. I was carrying a pup for Tavi's now husband and I felt disgusted. I had no desire to set eyes on Oscar. He would be disgusted with me as I was with myself, but I needed to face the monster he had become."I'll escort you down," Oliver said grabbing my hand. "Me too," Quinn joined grabbing my other hand. "Did you manage to rescue my pups? Killian is here. He would never suspect," I said frantically. "Calm yourself, please. Aiken, Tilly, and a few others have already departed. It shouldn't be long now," Oliver responded. "Thank you," I whispered. "There's no need to thank us. You are not well. We must get you the help you require. Staying held up in that small space isn't exactly helping. You should be here with family. Alpha King Lincoln has pushed for your removal of you as the kingdom of Koda's Luna and freed from your marriage for your mental state. It was easy to convince the elders seeing as Killian's mother admitted that she would fo
