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
Vincent's POVEver since my Ruby left me in the night, I admit that I've been loosing my damned mind. Some of my spies said Ruby had been wandering the lands assassinating ranked wolves. No one has seen her since her appearance at the coronation. I don't know what happened exactly, but I felt extreme pain that night. I feared the inevitable."Where do you think they locked Ruby up at?" one of my warriors asked. "There's only one way to find out," I hinted. "Of course, my king. We will extract her after tonight's mission," he bowed before walking away.Over a year has passed since our pup was taken, but last week I made a discovery. I wish Ruby was here when I rip Elena and her mate's throat out."Why did you have to hurt Alpha Santak's daughter, Lily?" one of the Dukes questioned me. "As far he knows, his bastard daughter, Jamela harmed her," I chuckled. "Huh?" he asked confused. "There's a messenger on his way as we speak to deliver a message. Jamela tried to murder her own sister in
Antionette's POV"Wakey wakey!" I heard Gamma Felius shout. "Get away from me, vermin!" I hissed. "Aww, is that anyway to speak to your Gamma?" He asked squatting down in front of me. "You are no Gamma of mine! Where is my son?" I barked. "Let's take you to him," he said dragging me to my feet. "Really?" I asked shocked.He ignored my question. After Lincoln pushed me to my death, my wolf quickly began to heal me. He broke nearly every bone in body. I'm still in pain, but I won't show them any weakness."There she is! Just who I wanted to see," I heard some random she-wolf I overheard them call Katie say. "You are below my station. You shouldn't even be here standing next to my mate!" I growled. "The Alpha King isn't your mate! You are his prey as you will soon be mine. I cannot wait to hunt you down and make you suffer!" Katie spat.Lincoln said nothing. He didn't even look at me. I admit I was a little relieved as I smelled like rat droppings and piss. My hair was tangled from month
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
