SUBMISSION: Rise of the Bastards CHAPTER 44: IF NOT HER, THEN YOU
Queen Antionette's POV"It's been an entire week with no leads. This is awful," I said to my mother. "Calm yourself child and focus on what's in front of you. This could be the perfect distraction! While Vincent is distracted with his missing pup, take everything from under him," my mother urged. "That's insensitive even for me," I glared at her. "Do you think that vile wolf would waste a second mourning for your lost child?" she asked.I fell quiet contemplating all the moves I've already made. She was right. Beta Vincent would be rid of me in my time of mounting if it were so."The night we found out about Ruby, I had Ruby's mother followed when she kept disappearing. I found her arguing with Phillip who seemed to have no idea of the paternity of the pup. Now, he's destroyed or pissed off. One of the two. How did her mother know? Maybe Ruby told her," my mother shrugged. "Wow," I replied. "Why do I get the feeling you're hiding something from me?" she asked cocking an eyebrow. "I su

Violet's POV My father, the king went missing some time ago and things in the land have not been the same. The only thing that has kept me sane is being here with my mate again for yet another holiday. I probably create excuses to see him more often than not. With everything that happened with Beta Vincent and Ruby's stolen pup, I couldn't take anymore bad news. "Have you told anyone?" my mate, Alpha Killian asked dragging me from my spiraling thoughts. "Huh?" I asked dumbfounded. "You're so cute when you play oblivious," he chuckled but I was honestly confused. Being in the kingdom of Koda with my mate has been amazing the last two days. He's been such a gentleman as always. I am to accompany him to the winter ball where he will show me off as his mate and make official announcement to his pack. I am to celebrate my eighteenth birthday tonight too. "Your mother the Queen has postponed Prince Lawrence's coronation that was happening tonight in the light of the king's disappearance

Octavia's POVAfter another aggressive training session with Koda's warriors, I was exhausted. Fighting helped my mind free itself of my crumbling family and nonexistent love life. I promised to avenge them all and my plan to do that came faster than I thought it would."Hello, mate," Lex from the Kingdom of Tirado said interrupting my high. "Alpha," I bowed ignoring his comment. "Aww, you wound me. Aren't you at least a little happy to see me?" he chuckled coming closer to me. "Alpha Lexington, every time you come to visit me here have I ever shown interest? Let's not fool ourselves," I said walking in the opposite direction. "Well, my future mistress, Taysia thinks I should give up on whatever this dance we are doing is," he smirked. "I cannot believe I am saying this but I agree with the bimbo," I replied. "Why do you wish to defy and deny me?" he angrily growled pinning me down on the side of the castle. "Because you are a monster! I will not give you an heir nor will I lay with y

McKenna's POVFlashback to when McKenna was first captured...I lost count of how long I had been here. My spirit wasn't broken no matter what they did to me. My days were filled with fights with fellow prisoners and doging advances from the guards. It has quickly gotten old but the bastards that took us make us knock each other around in dirt for their entertainment. I swear when an opening happens I will take my opportunity to get out. I become closer each match I'm expected to fight. Now that I've gotten some accomplices to help me out, I will end this today. I must warn the king. They are planning to remove him from power. If he refuses they are going to kill him. I'm not a big fan of him but he's a damn good king even with his shortcominings of our past."Are we still doing this today? One of the fellow prisoners, Darius asked. "Absolutely," I answered determined. "I have the ball and chain this time. Elliot has the daggers, John has the axe, and Katie has the shield. That leaves

Ruby's POVI felt empty inside. Time and life moved fast without me in it. Vincent did everything in his power to make me comfortable but it would never be enough. It's been a whole month since Elena and her mate stole our pup. I'm still in a bit of shock."How are you feeling today?" Vincent asked kissing my forehead. "I'm ready to assume my duties again. When I'm sitting around I only feel ridiculously helpless," I confessed. "You could never be that," he assured me. "Does the kingdom know what happened?" I asked. "They've sent many gifts of prayers for our pup's return. Elena and her mate's faces are plastered on nearly every tree in all of the kingdoms," he replied. "Thank you," I sighed falling into his chest. "What's kept you so busy?" I asked. "The planning for the coronation is causing such a ruckus. The guest list itself is too massive. We need better security protocols," he grumbled. "What did Alpha King Lincoln do? Take something from his bag of tricks," I replied making hi

Queen Antionette's POV"How are you fairing, my lady?" Phillip bowed. "Oh, I didn't see you there. Can you fetch me some chamomile tea?" I asked feeling not so well.I'm certain it's the purple liquid I ingested to ensure Beta Vincent would never experience fatherhood again."I'll do one better. My grand mama would always add peppermint to our tea when we weren't feeling well. If you place a cinnamon stick on the edge,, whiskey, and a dab of honey, I assure you will sweat it out in the night," he said whipping up the tasty contraption. "You know you don't have to," I sighed laying on my side. "I want to, my lady. You've been through some awful things lately," he said with sad eyes. "I can say the same about you," I said as I looked up at him. "Lady Ruby won't speak to me. How am I supposed to believe anything?" He asked pissed off. "You're entitled to be pissed off," I reminded him. "I'm angry that she's telling others she was carrying my pup. There's no way that's true. The timeline

Oliver's POVAlpha Alonzo thought it would be a good idea to place spies around those listed on Alpha King Lincoln's list before he disappeared. So, we've kept busy doing our rounds. The Kingdom of Klaus was off-limits to me but being the rebel I am, I traveled great distances to get there anyway. Something continued pulling me back here. It's like I was missing a clue to where my mother and birth father could be. I was nearly seen last time so I've kept a great distance away to be on the safe side. Now, I traveled to Santak more often."The Kingdom of Santak is starting to look disgracefully terrible," Marlo said from the side of me. "Yeah, I cannot believe how beautiful it used to be before they started these stupid Galatea Games here," Tilly added. "We will hit the Kingdom of Cassius before returning to Valaris. Make sure you two are keeping your notes of the suspicious activities organized," I interjected ignoring their comments. "Yes, Alpha," Tilly joked. "I wish we could go back

Matilda's POVI spent the day finding out everything about the kingdom of Santak and it's enemies. It was intriguing to be a fly on the wall for a change. I was actually having a blast with the night walkers or prostitutes some would call them. There were many nicknames for them but I called them friends. I was envious of their free spirited demeanors and their ability to not care about what others thought of them. They didn't live for acceptance."Dance with me!" One of the prostitutes, Georgina said to me. "Okay!" I replied shrugging nonchalantly.I was having a blast dancing on the tables in a secluded brothel until I heard a voice that made her want to vomit."Matilda?" Prince Lawrence drunkenly asked stumbling from his chair.I froze in place before deciding to make a run for it."Aye! Sweetheart, where you going?" Georgina called out worried.I didn't reply to her. I ran as far as I could to get away from HIM, the devil! I ended up rocking myself to sleep near the River. I knew

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
