SUBMISSION: Rise of the Bastards CHAPTER 54: UNCARING
"I do not like it when you leave my side long," Lex joked. "You could always find another as you have for the past couple of months," I replied uncaring. "Could you at least pretend to not hate me just for tonight?" He turned and asked. "Of course," I replied trying to plaster on my fakest smile until his future mistress, Tasia strutted toward us. I slithered from his hold again and willingly gave them their quality time. Lex growled in apprehension but perked up the moment he realized why I moved. Besides, my mind was elsewhere focused on my family. "You're welcome," I said to him before strolling toward the table of horderves. "I think you should really try harder with him," Essex said appearing next to me. "I have no desire to, but I understand my duty as his future Luna," I said turning to walk away from him. It had been like this for the last couple months I was forced to take shelter in their kingdom. I would be seventeen soon and mated to Lex of Tirado. He disgusted me with h

Queen Antionette's POV"Mother, I miss father," my youngest, Lance said. "I know Lawrence threatened to send you away but that would never happen," I promised. "I do not care about Lawrence's threats. He is an imbecile incapable of leading," Lance said snatching away from me. "Do not say such things!" I warned him. "Mother, I will run away if he is to rule," Lance said turning to leave.Sometimes I forget how grown up Lance was becoming. He was every bit of Lincoln's replica. He would find his mate in a couple years. Maybe he would then step up to honor our family name. I needed company. Phillip should be returning from the latest mission at the pub I gave him."That's hilarious, Phillip!" I laughed. "Seriously, Beta Vincent looked like a pregnant frog that someone strangled last night. It was hilarious," he laughed that sexy laugh of his. "How much did you put in his drink exactly?" I asked referring to a disastrous mix our court physician, Aylef gave me to toy with Vincent. "I gave

Ruby's POV"When are we to rid ourselves of that bitch?" I asked my mate. "Soon, my love. Once Lawrence wears the crown, we will be rid of her," Vincent replied kissing my lips.He wanted me to meet him in his study after I spoke to Romeo and Vidalia said on our decision to stop looking for our pup after all this time."Mother, will you please tell Romeo he's a court idiot?" Vidalia scoffed. "Could the Goddess have given me a better sister? I would like to trade her to the locals for a be-headed chicken. That would be acceptable maybe even overpriced," Romeo said insulting Vidalia. "I need you two to throw that subject away!" I shouted upset given the reason I brought them here in the first place.I gathered my temper to refrain from strangling my present children while I mourned for the one that was not. After I explained our decision to them both seemed to have come to terms with everything."Why would Auntie Elena do this?" Vidalia asked. "I don't know," I sighed on the brink of t

Jubilee's POVBack at the Kingdom of Valaris..."Horses are ready and riders have mounted," Julius said exasperated. "Take this," Gertrude said handing a mix of herbs and food to me. "You're not coming?" I asked. "Of course I'm coming. I just couldn't carry all of that to the horses. I'm an old wolf and deserve the perks of it," she smirked. "Of course you do, grandmother," Swan said escorting Gertrude to her horse."Imagine being in the middle of their arguments," Julius said shaking his head with adoration clearly in his eyes. "Any word from your daughter, Matilda? I asked. "Yes, she learned quite a lot in a short period. I'll fill you in on the ride," Julius said slapping my shoulder. "Safe travels to you all," Marlene said barely making back from Klaus. "Did everything goes okay?" I asked her. "I had a run in with Lady Ruby, but I will not be returning as I am banned forever," she chuckled. "It's for the best," I replied. "It really is," she agreed.I walked off to find my son, Jo

McKenna's POVI cannot believe that I may see my mate after so long. It was almost as if none of this was real. It's been nearly a year I had assumed. Thanks to Violet, we know this is a blind spot for the Kingdom of Koda."Are you nervous? Lincoln asked disturbing my revelation. "Is it that obvious, my lord?" I asked. "A little," he chuckled. "How do I look?" I asked twirling around in a dress I lifted from our latest excursions with the rich. "Perfect," he mumbled. "I feel like something is missing. I just want our reunion to be perfect," I nervously said fumbling with my with my hair. "I think I found it," Lincoln replied placing small flowers around the crown of my head the moment my mate came into view.My heart swelled with joy just as my eyes filled with tears. I rushed over to him without another thought calling out for him."Jubilee!" I cried out. "Mate," he replied biting his bottom lip in happiness but frustration. "Carol?" Gamma Felius asked not believing his eyes. "FELIUS

Alpha King Lincoln's POV "My gift, it's more vivid because my grandmother is no longer with us in this life! She knew...she knew she was going to die here. That is an awful burden. I do not deserve her gift. It is not a gift at all. It's a torturous curse! I would give it all back, goddess!" Swan cried aloud. I looked over at McKenna as a reflex realizing she had been frozen in place the moment she touched Gertrude. Whatever she saw upset her. McKenna sprinted deeper into the forest with Jubilee hot on her heels. I had to fight the urge to follow after. "She will be okay," Katie said knowingly. "I wasn't..." I started to lie but she threw me a "don't try to deny it" look. "I know it's hard to see her happy with her mate when you feel so deeply for her but you must. Let her have the happiness she deserves, your grace," Katie said walking to join the others. I was losing my mind. After pacing the fields for what felt to be an eternity, I heard the voices of my angels coming toward me

Octavia's POV "Look who's here to greet us," Jamela scoffed. "She's so tiring," I replied rolling my eyes. "I could totally drop something in her drink to keep her in the outhouse," Jamela offered. "Please," I playfully joked. Our cart pulled in the front of the pack dwelling. I acted as if I didn't see Taysia. Jamela grabbed our satchels before leaving my side. "Nice of you to return," Taysia said sashaying down the front entrance of the pack dwelling. "You're still here?" I asked holding back my laughter. "You won't be for long," she scoffed. "What's your deal? Is it Lex you desire? Do you want to take my place as his betrothed?" I asked. "It is Lex who wishes to rid himself of you. If you weren't so damned disobedient maybe we could have made this work," she threatened. "Taysia, if you come one step closer to me I will use excessive force with the one thing that annoys me the most, your face," I growled. She looked to have taken my warning serious, but it didn't stop her from t

Oliver's POVThree months later...As the days of training trudged along, so did the connection I once felt to my mate. I think the distance I had from her was starting to weaken our bond now that we've met. It was still there and the pain of a delayed rejection was still present."I'm so proud of you two! My knight of Tirado," Alizabeth smiled lovingly at Marlo. "Thanks for coming," he replied cheekily. "I've missed you," she whimpered. "I think we should go somewhere," Marlo growled. "I've got us a room at the Inn," Alizabeth said seductively.I do not know what else was said because I bolted. There was no way I wanted to see how their mating played out. I had other pressing concerns like how I planned to punish Karly, William, and Daphne's adoptive mother. They're criminals who deserved to hang for selling innocent she-wolves to rogues for the Goddess only knows."Hey," a familiar voice from behind said to me. "Jamela?" I asked in confusion. "Yes, Tavi thought it would a good idea

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
