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
Alpha King Lincoln's POV"HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?" I angrily shouted looking down at a treaty proposal from my brother, Vincent. "I cannot believe he's threatening to attack if you don't agree to give over your lands. There would no longer be a Kingdom of Klaus," Gamma Felius pointed out. "Your round table will reveal our numbers. We have strong allies, but weeding the enemies within is draining our resources. I'm convinced there is a rat amongst us," McKenna interjected.She had already ruled out Alpha Talbot, three Earls, and one Duke. The Tirado brothers were selfish, but Tavi said Lex hadn't sided with Vincent because of his own ego. It was a good thing because Tirado had similar numbers as Klaus."Does Alpha Talbot really believe that Jamela killed Lily?" I asked Felius. "He has her picture on every tree in every kingdom. That old bastard isn't seeing reason. It's not true!" McKenna interjected. "Once Talbot's dead, it won't matter," I said looking down at the sandbox laid out in fro
