Adelina's POV"My lady, we must be careful tonight. There's an assassin still hunting down wolves of influence," Romeo warned. "When was the last sighting?" I asked. "It's been nearly two weeks, my lady," Romeo replied. "Okay, I'll keep an eye out," I said hesitantly. "Anything else?" I asked seeing as that he didn't move. "Nothing, your grace," he bowed before finally leaving.I didn't have time for Romeo's weird behavior. Apparently, his sister, Vidalia weren't on speaking terms now. He recently visited her, but he didn't come back the same. I'm starting to wonder what happened between the two of them. I had no time to sulk in their problems though. My mind was on my coronation and wedding."Take a peek," Luna Queen Antionette said poking her head inside of my chambers before leaving.The ceremony ballroom was absolutely gorgeous. The throne room was decorated in the finest of silvers and white. Many gifts spilled from the tables while the receiving lines were plentiful. I could hard
Jamela's POV How could he do this to me? NO! I should be mad at myself. I never allow myself to get close to people. This last year had been heavenly. I should have known it would end badly. He cheated on me, but is it cheating when it's your true mate? I'm not marked. This is such a disaster! "Jamela, are you okay?" I heard my half-sister, Lily ask worriedly. “What are you doing here?" I snapped. "Well, I'm here for one of my best friends wedding of course. I noticed you were upset. So, I followed you,” she shrugged. "Well, I don't want you here!" I shouted. "Why are you like this? How could you not let your only sister be there for you?" Lily asked appalled. "Because you were never there for me! Why start now?" I asked standing to my feet. "What are you even talking about?" she asked dumbfounded. "We used to be best friends! I was your big sister and you were my confidant. One day you just...changed!" She angrily shouted. "Are you fucking serious? After my mother died and I began
Violet's POV "Wake up, my little flower," Killian whispered in my ear. "How did I get in here?" I asked looking around his chambers. "I've been thinking, my Luna should share my bed. You're driving me and my wolf mad with desire," he said sniffing my neck. "Please, leave me be. I will go to my quarters now. I'm sure the pups are missing their mother," I huffed standing from bed. "Vi, please don't go. I wanted to talk to you, but first I want you to eat," he said with sincere eyes. I looked over at the food tray Killian set at my bedside. I couldn't trust it. "I'm not hungry. What is it, Killian? I have a meeting with a Duchess in matter of hours," I reminded him. "Violet, I want to do right by you. Our last fight left me uneasy. I have not been fair to you. I'm happy to have you as my mate. The pressure of being an Alpha and providing heirs has led me astray," he apologized. "Please keep your hands to yourself," I said pulling away from him. "Please," he begged, but I left the roo
McKenna's POV "Jamela! Are you okay?" I asked taking in her flustered appearance. “No," she replied slumping over in defeat. She began to sob uncontrollably. I feared something serious had happened, but our sentinels said we were in the clear. As a matter of fact, we had began taken their gun powder, grain, and beans amongst other things. We were waiting to free the list of innocents one of our inside warriors had given us thanks to Gamma Felius close ties with some loyal knights from the palace during Lincoln's reign. "What is it?" I asked. "It's not important. I did as you asked. The Queen had retired for the night," Jamela said obviously wallowing in pain. "Thank you, but this conversation is far from over," I said grabbing her chin. "Okay," she sighed. I gave Lincoln, Jubilee, and Felius the cue. We rushed to climb alongside the palace. Jamela ensured we had a way up before she joined the rest of the party in the ballroom as if she was there the entire time. "That's it," Linc
Lincoln’s POVThe screams of a murderer being present in the hall echoed through the halls. I knew it was time I made my presence known. It was like a never ending corridor. My heart beat as loud as a herd of Buffalo as adrenaline filled my veins. My wolf crept from the back of my mind to make himself known. That’s when I realized that Tavi was on my heels. I'm not sure if it was the shared Alpha blood in him, but my youngest sensed me before I entered the chaotic throne room. "Father? Is it really you? Say it's true," My youngest son, Lance said stalking toward me in tears. "I've missed you so much! What has happened?" I asked. "I refuse to follow that asshole, but I didn't want him to die!" Lance said crying in my arms. "My son, let me gain order. Wait with Tavi. I cannot have anything happen to you," I said hugging him tightly. “I wasn’t even supposed to be here,” he whimpered. I squared my shoulders and puffed my chest out. I was the got damned king and it was time I took my
Octavia's POV"I'll let you in on a little secret. We know where your pup is," I heard my mother whisper in Ruby's ear before setting her afire in front of our eyes.My little brother, Lance ran over to me. He didn't seem phased by the display in front of us. Neither did my mother. Instead, she strode toward me."Tavi, if you wait any longer to unfold your plan, it may be too late," my mother warned emotionless. "I know, mother. By the next blood moon, it will be done," I promised. "The elders will hear that I'm back. Whatever you need help with I can undoubtedly have it done," my father, Alpha King Lincoln said coming near me. "If I am to be a worthy heir, I plan to earn it. I will NOT be defined or known as a bastard of the king," I replied earning an approval nod from the father who raised me, Jubilee.The Alpha King walked away to restore order. My mother almost followed, but I wrapped her in a hug and whispered in her ear."Jubilee is a good mate. Don't lose him if you are unsure
Violet's POVI had been running for days while Killian hunted me down for sport. He even allowed his friends to join in. It was all a joke to him. Ever since the night of the coronation he had me tortured saying I embarrassed him. He smelled Oscar on me, but I knew it wasn't true. I made sure of that. Killian needed a reason for his cruel behavior. I was really happy he never directly took it out on our pups even if I had to endure days upon days of torture. Whenever I thought it ended, it would get worse.Days after being discovered…"What happened, Vi?" Tavi asked worriedly. "He won't let me see our pups. Killian locked me out of the castle and refuses to hand over my children. What am I going to do?" I cried. "We can speak to the king!" She snapped. "Wolf law states that if the mother shall leave her home, the father will care for the children," I cried harder. "You were kicked out! There's got to be a loophole," she reasoned. "It's not how it looks. He's an Alpha. They will alway
Oliver's POV I had this feeling of overwhelming protection fill me. I immediately headed toward the forest where Octavia began to call for me. Lately, I've been feeling this uncontrollable energy flow through my veins. It's oddly disturbing. "You know where to take her, brother," Tavi said passing Violet off to me. I didn't expect Violet to confess what had happened to her. Genuinely, I felt terrible for her.For the next few months she would be forced to carry a rapist child. What made matters worse, she hadn't laid eyes on her other pups thanks to Alpha Killian. I left Violet, Quinn, and Tilly with good company. Aiken had joined them for added protection although no one would ever find them this deep into the woods. Next day…"GUARDS! There's been an increase in rogue sightings. The crown is saying it is former Beta, Vincent behind the attacks. Apparently, his numbers have grown in size and they're looking for allies. Stay vigilant," Lex ordered. I was already dreading his rei
