SUBMISSION: Rise of the Bastards CHAPTER 24: JEALOUS SHE-WOLF
Octavia's POVQueen Antionette always found the most in opportune time to kick me while I'm down. I watched her parlay with the Gamma Felius' mate, Carol. Neither of them fancied me for reasons of their own. It never stopped Felius from being loyal to my father despite his mate's feelings for me. I shook off her insults and turned my attention to Tilly who wouldn't even look at her all morning."You have barely uttered a word to me in weeks but you have no issues speaking with the Queen bitch?" I shouted. "Keep your voice down," Tilly said finally locating my brother,her mate, Lawrence. "Are you even listening to me?" I angrily yelled. "Yes! The entire courtyard can hear you, dear friend. Let me do this, please," she begged.I watched her unpleasant exchange with Lawrence. He seemed upset at she for interrupting his make out session with some she-wolf I recognized from the night of the festival."Let's go," Tilly angrily said storming past me. "No! Not until you tell me where you got

Back Home...McKenna's POVIt's been fairly quiet around here, especially with Jubilee not talking to me. Someone told him that Olly and me had gone to the kingdom. I explained to him about Oliver's abrupt journey to rescue Tavi but it only angered him further."I turned down an excursion this morning," Jubilee said to me. "I hope you didn't do it to keep an eye on me, my love. I told you it wouldn't happen again," I reasoned. "McKenna, if I lose you, Jonah, or Oliver I don't know why I would do. I've already lost Tavi," he growled. "Jubilee! What is this really about? You're not making sense!" I shouted. "That fucking King! He has this hold over my family that I do not like!" He answered. "He has nothing!" I rebutted. "He is your heart once and you birthed him two pups that he galloped in here and took. We had no control over the situation. If he finds out about Olly, he will surely come for him. Jonah will be left without both of his siblings. Is that what you want?" He asked teary

Oliver's POV“Olly, your mama is giving us both death glares,” Marlo linked me. “I know. She is pissed about Daisy,” I replied. “Why? That she-wolf is bat shit crazy,” Marlo scoffed. “Daisy surely set her off,” I answered. “I’m glad Karly didn’t act like that,” Marlo laughed. “It’s because she dropped you, fool,” I laughed just as Daisy and Karly walked up.I mentally shook my head. To say Daisy was nearly nineteen she was really immature.“Marlo, Olly,” Karly spoke. “We were wondering if you two wanted to join us for a swim later,” Daisy interjected. “We simply cannot,” I hurriedly said. “Why not?” She asked with an attitude. “Because you keep passing off my mama. I won’t be in the company of any she-wolf that lacks respect for her for no reason at all,” I snapped. “Besides, he doesn’t want to give you false hope,” Marlo interrupted earning a snack from Karly who showed signs of a smirk.Daisy stormed off in a fit of rage. Serves her right. I can’t believe I was so desperate to be wi

Marlo's POVI was in the middle of having a very serious conversation with Tavi until my wolf started berating my thoughts with visuals of Quinn."That's her. We must protect that one. Such a tiny little lamb," my wolf, Mio called out. "You're going to scare her," I groaned. "You're so weak, human," he growled before cutting me off.I shook off my over zealous wolf. My head darted off in the direction Quinn approached. She was beautiful but much too young for me. I was seventeen but I would be eighteen soon enough."Hi," her small voice called out. "Hey, Quinn. How's Tilly?" Tavi asked. "She's awake and asking for you. Please don't tell her about her father. I am certain they most likely had him hung," Quinn replied rubbing a stray tear from her eyes. "I know," Tavi sighed grabbing Olly's hand. "Come on, Quinn," Tavi said but Quinn have her a reassuring bow before sitting next to me.I just sat there afraid to say the wrong thing. I don't want her to assume the wrong thing. She is muc

Lawrence's POV"What's happening to me?" I cried out. "You're the fucking pack doctor and you can't make his pain stop?" my mother, the Queen yelped. "It's the mate bond. Only the Moon Goddess herself can make the pain stop," the pack doctor explained. "It's been three days!" My mother yelled. "His mate must be in some sort of pain," the pack doctor added.This went on for three days until it ceased. I woke up without a fever but with an appetite."Brother!" Violet called out. "Vi, I'm hungry," I managed to say. "Prince Lawrence! I am so sorry for what that bitch did to you! It's all her fault," Violet's best friend, Adelina said sitting at my bedside. "It's a shitty situation. Where is her cowardice father?," I growled setting up. "Near death," Violet said looking down at her nails bored. "Good! I hope I didn't miss all the fun. Where is Tavi?" I angrily asked. "No one has seen her for days. She walked her yellow as through the palace doors this morning," Adelina scoffed. "She had so

Violet's POV"Excuse me. Who's in that carriage?" I asked exasperated. "Who might you he requiring this information?" The warrior asked. "I am Princess Violet of the kingdom of Klaus. You're at my home," I pointed. "O-Oh, my lady. Pleasure to meet your acquaintance," he bowed. "Prince Killian is sleeping, my lady," he informed me. "Let him know that I will see him at supper," I smiled feeling my wolf immediately recognize the scent of our mate.I walked away feeling my wavy blonde hair away from side to side. I marched toward the palace and then to my quarters with confidence."What are you doing, stupid girl? Our mate is right outside and you're hiding in your quarters. What the hell is wrong with you?" my wolf, Vienna growled. "Are you ill? I'm not hiding. I'm simply freshening up for supper. I cannot have him see me in such a sweaty pale state," I snapped back. "Well, hurry it up then!" she huffed."Juniper, Felecia, and Clara!" I called through the mind-link.My handmaidens usuall

Alpha King Lincoln's POV"Is it done?" I asked. "Of course, Alpha," Gamma Felius nodded. "I cannot thank you both enough. My lord, your Queen has lost her mind. Lawrence tried to rape Tilly. I saw it with my own eyes. Put yourselves in Knight Julius' shoes. Now, he is after your daughter, Adelina," Octavia explained. "I understand but Adelina is of age to choose her mate if she has not met him. No offense, your grace but I do not want my daughter to choose Adelina nor him her," Gamma Felius bowed. "No offense taken. Lawrence may be my son but he is not above the law. He will be tried in closed court two days from today. Innocent until proven guilty," I replied truly bothered by what I was hearing. "Nevertheless, I will proceed as instructed, my king," Felius bowed before walking away.My gaze met Octavia's. She looked so roughly vulnerable. Something was wrong."Pup, what is it?" I asked. "This is so wrong! Why do you allow her to get away with such egregious acts? She's gone much too

Oliver's POV"I'm glad you could make it this time," Alpha King Lincoln said stepping out of the shadows. "I cannot keep hiding this from my mama and papa," I replied. "You must. At least for right now. Have you not enjoyed training with me? Learning from me?" He asked. "I have, Alpha. Why now?" I asked. "I have known about you for a very long time, son. You are everything I could have asked for in a son but I sadly did not raise you," he sighed. "Jubilee is a great father. Wait, you have two sons," I stated. "We both know that I have only fathered you, Octavia, and Lance, my youngest. I wasn't certain of this until a couple years ago. I always suspected but I had already fallen in life with them. I care a great deal for them but by blood Lawrence is not my rightful heir, Octavia is," he said catching me off-guard. "Your majesty, they will challenge her for the title. What can I do?" I asked. "That is why I continue to come to you. This place will forever be your safe haven. Not even

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
