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
Violet's POVI was bed-ridden after returning from secretly seeing my father. To say I was highly miserable would be an understatement."How are you feeling, my love?" Alpha Killian asked. "Awful," I sulked hugging my feather pillow. "The physician says it won't be long. It could be any moment now," he excitedly said caressing my arm. "I need to talk to you," I said turning to face him.My father, Alpha King Lincoln advised me to speak with my mate about waiting to grow our family. I just hoped he took it okay."Sure," he said distracted by something in his satchel. "Can we wait before we have more pups? I would love..." I started to say before he cut me off. "No," he dryly said and walked out.Is he being serious? Was he even talking to me? I was left confused and with no answer to my question, I think...."My lady, did you send for us?" One of my handmaidens, Felecia asked trailed by Juniper and Clara. "Yes, I felt a bit lonely. Can you all keep me company until my mother, the Queen
Queen Antionette's POVA few months ago I witnessed my first grand pup's birth. I found myself peering at the she-wolf I had become now. There was still no sign of frown lines or age. I actually looked happy for a change."Mother! my eldest son, Lawrence called out. "Don't you ever barge into my quarters again unannounced. I could have been inappropriately dressed," I reminded him. "My apologies, mother. Why have you denied Lance's departure to the kingdom of Valaris?" He asked peturbed. "Do I need to remind you of your place? Lance is your little brother and my son. What has gotten into you lately?" I asked taken back by his behavior. "Nothing is wrong with me. You are making me look weak! He must leave or I'll look like I cannot control my own family!" He replied. "It's because you don't! Have you gone ill in the head?" I asked. "My nineteenth birth year has come and gone but my coronation has not happened. With the blood moon approaching, I had hoped that I would be the one to lead
Lawrence's POVAfter my mother informed me of everything Ruby had done to ny twin sister, I thought I would give her a taste of her own medicine. I had her cleaned up and fed. I had her brought up to the west wing, which was usually abandoned. I wasn't worried about anyone missing her. The guards told me Beta Vincent hadn't been allowed to visit."Prince Lawrence! Thank you for helping me. Your mother wanted me starved when I was only doing what any mother would do for her children," Ruby reasoned becoming rather comfortable.I was enraged checking out her level of "I don't give a shit" attitude."You like to fuck wolves that are not your mate do ya? Seems like you and your mate have that in common don't take?" I rhetorically asked removing my belt. "Lawrence, what are you doing?" She asked standing to her feet. "Strip," I ordered her. "I most certainly will NOT! You are a only a pup!" She scoffed. "I'm only seven years behind Alpha Killian. It seems you liked his touch. I bet you're

Violet's POV"Why have my things been moved?" I asked Killian. "Babe, the pup keeps me up at night. Besides, you're getting bigger and you'll need more space," he said kissing my forehead. "This is the larger room. Maybe you should move," I replied. "I'm the Alpha. It's only right that I have these chambers," he briefly replied. "If you no longer desire me maybe you should release me from this marriage," I angrily said but he ignored me as usual. "Your meeting was pushed for two hours," he said instead. "Great," I sarcastically said grabbing my cloak.I went to town and bumped into one of the most handsome wolves I've seen in a while."Sorry," his deep voice called out. "It's okay," I replied mesmerized. "Would you like some?" He asked holding up banana bread. "Y-yeah," I stuttered. "The names Oscar," he said extending his hand. "I,um..." I paused. "This bread is scrumptious!" I blurted trying to change the subject. "It was my mother's recipe" He blushed. "Give your mother kisses for
Carol's POV"Adelina, have you spoken to your brother, Aiken?" I asked. "No, I have not. He's being stubborn," she grumbled. "Oh, okay," I replied. "I know you miss him, but he is weak for leaving his family. Can you just focus on my wedding and my coronation that's happening in a year?" Adelina pouted. "Adelina, honey, I should probably tell you that your father lives," I said hopeful. "Why hasn't he come to see me? Is this some sort of hoax?" she asked. "You must not tell a soul of this. He follows the rebel, McKenna. They are very dangerous," I tried warning her. "Mother, calm yourself. I will not tell a soul under one condition," she bargained. "Adelina, there's nothing to bargain. I know you want to meet with your father, but I don't see how it would happen," I sighed. "Well, that's disappointing," she grumbled. "Promise me you won't utter a word of this to ANYONE," I pleaded. "Of course," she nodded.I was helping Adelina settle into her new chambers at the palace. The Queen we
A year later...Elena's POVIt has been nearly two years we've raised our little girl and unexpectedly welcomed our baby boy just months after our heist."Grab Guinevere so I can nurse, Godfrey," I said passing off our eldest. "We have such a good life since we left court," my mate, Gavin cooed. "Yeah," I dryly said thinking about the betrayal it took to get here. "Are you okay?" Gavin asked. "I miss Ruby. The guilt is still there from what I did to her," I sighed. "Me too but look where we are now. We finally have that family we always wanted, land, and werewolves that don't know who we truly are," he pointed out. "Yeah, could you imagine if we had hid out in Tirado like Angelica told us to? We would have been found out, bound to horses, and ripped apart by the limbs," I cringed thinking of the sight. "I'm glad we disobeyed her advice too. I'm not sure if she would have cared. The evil bitch only cared to rid a bastard child from its mother, her daughter. Although, it is clear that t
