SUBMISSION: Rise of the Bastards CHAPTER 30: TRIAL BY COUNCIL
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

Jubilee's POV"Jubilee, she's not here. It's been days since we lost her scent," my best friend Neal said. "Over here!" One of my other men shouted. The remaining five of us ran to see what the fuss was about about. We were met by a wolf I've always known as Gamma Felius alongside with two others I hadn't recognized. My mate spoke highly of him. "Why have you journeyed here? You all know it is dangerous," Gamma Felius warned. "Where have you all done with my mate? She is been missing for days and I tracked her here. We lose her scent right here," I explained. "I assure you that your mate left the same day she came. She should have made it home days ago," he replied. "We have travelled home and back again. She is not there," I said agitated. "Perhaps you missed each other in passing," he reasoned. "I would like an audience with your king," I demanded. They looked amongst each other in disapproval. "After the stir of McKenna's visit I am afraid I cannot permit you inside of the walls of

Lawrence's POV Where are you, my love? I need you. My wolf needs you so badly. I want you by my side when I rule over all the lands. Why have you run from me? I woke from the same nightmare I had every night since Matilda left me. I would see her in my dreams but she stood idol. I would ask her the same questions but she only stared at me and repeated “you hurt me, mate.” In an attempt to wash away those vivid nightmares I spent my days with Adelina a lot more. A few hours later... “Have you slept at all?” Adelina asked meeting me in my quarters. “Not really,” I groggily said. “What if we visited Ellington this weekend? Their orchards has surely blossomed this year from what I am told. We could both use a change in scenery,” Adelina said straddling my waist. “I could use the vacation. We ride in two days time,” I replied claiming her lips with mine. We never mated with each other. She was holding out in hopes to receive her father’s blessing. “I will have Violet help me pack,” s

Adelina's POV "Can you believe him? Lawrence will never change his ways," I cried. "Addie, you never had a real interest in Lawrence. What changed?" my brother, Aiken asked. "He showed me a different side of him. Lawrence has a good heart but I do not think he's ready to commit to me," I complained. "I've known him since birth. Lawrence has always been about Lawrence. You are a fool sister if you think that you will change him," he said shaking his head. "You are just jealous that I will have a place at court and you won't," I boasted. "If you are referring to Lawrence replacing me as Gamma, I am fine with it. Father respects my decision," he replied shocking me. Was Aiken really okay with not being at court? Could I have been wrong in my assumptions? "What would you do if you are not in court? Our family has always had a presence there," I reminded him. "Addie, I am my own wolf. Something tells me if Lawrence decides to replace me I must make peace with it but I will not be here

Octavia's POV I was enraged! My plan is backfiring on me. I was the one who anonymously told the elders council about Lawrence behavior weeks ago the money I spotted unsealed bruises all over Matilda. Now, the crazy bitch Queen was holding my mother hostage. I needed to go home and verify if this was true. I needed proof. "Alpha, what was she talking about? My mother left for the village days ago, right?" I asked. "Come with me," he grumbled leading me through the tunnels and the to the swampy area. "I've been working with Jubilee trying to grace who took your mother. Antionette had help from some powerful allies. I called a meeting today with some of the trusted leadership in an attempt to weed out the liars and those I cannot trust. They have no clue what I was doing. It was none of them. I have reason to believe that it may be one of our visitors that will be at supper tonight which is why you'll never leave my side at any time. Understood?" He asked scaring me. "I understand tha

Matilda's POV"Grandma Gertrude, where do you want these?" I asked replacing the bandages on my father's side. "Right there is fine, dear. He should be waking up one day soon. His wolf just needs time to heal," she explained. "I've made eggs and oats. It is ready when you two decide to join me," my mother called out.This is how she deals with trauma. She cooks, cleans, and gardens until she begins to waste away. When she is not at my father's bedside, she is in the kitchen, garden, or at the lake. I walked toward the porch and peered out at the forest. It seems so peaceful but what lurked behind those trees could be treacherous just like ones's past."Have you seen Oliver?" Karly asked bringing my back to reality. "No," I said dismissively. "I know you have. Are you hoping that he will choose you over me?" she asked. "Oliver is like a brother to me. I hold no attraction for him," I answered her. "Don't give me the brother bullshit! Daphne said the same thing and the next thing you kn
Last Updated : 2023-03-15SUBMISSION: Rise of the Bastards CHAPTER 37: G*****A GUARDIANS
Gertrude's POVThe days drug on slowly testing our already impatient demeanors. We hadn't seen Tavi since she left for the Kingdom of Koda. She informed us about Gamna Felius and the three other survivors of an ambush he feels the Queen and Beta orchestrated. The king will surely know there was foul play. It seems they want to isolate him from those he trusted most. Something isn't right about any of this. My dreams have migrated to nightmares these days and that's never good."When are you planning to tell them of what you've seen?" Swan quietly asked careful not to wake Julius. "I'm only telling you just in case something happens to me," I replied. "Explain it to me again. What the hell are Galatea Guardians?" Swan asked. "Well, they were nicknamed after Galateia actually. She was the Goddess of the calm seas. Galatea Guardians came about when werewolves needed them most and draw their energy from bodies of water. It was during the time of Alpha Queen Lenora and King Athelstan era.

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
