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
McKenna's POVI knew today was a big day for Tavi, but my mind was elsewhere. Jubilee only spoke to me about our son, Jonah and how we were going to win the brewing war. The passion he reflected when talking about all these things used to be how he would glow talking about US. Not anymore from where I sit. Deciding that I couldn't take the tension after the long ride to Tirado, I leaped out of the carriage and decided to go for a walk. Jubilee declined my invitation as quickly as I had extended it. My heart broke time and time again. I sighed hanging my head low until I found a spot where I felt I could be alone. "Are you okay?" Lincoln asked walking toward me. "What are you doing so far out here?" I asked. "It's one of my favorite places about this kingdom. It looks out over the entire territory. I told Tavi about it before she left Klaus,” he explained. “It is rather lovely," I sighed. "Yes, it really is," he replied looking at me. "You mustn't stare at me that way, my lord. Others
Octavia's POVAfter Lily's passing, Jamela has not been seen. I think she somehow feels it's her fault, but it's not. I couldn't fathom why she would feel that way. A part of me knew she had most likely returned to Foxchase to hide out with Elena. She did owe us her life."I'll get the door," Oliver said walking away. "I didn't hear anything," I said scrunching up my face.Oliver wasn't okay, but he put on a tough front and tried to understand. His wolf was in pain undoubtedly separated from the wolf he adored. There was just too much damage done. Now that Adelina claims to carry his pup, his situation has just gotten more complicated.After learning what Lex had done to Violet, I almost threw my plan out, kill him, and go rogue. However, I've waited much too long to do this right."You're just distracted," he said opening the door.I was shaken from my moment of grief by my annoying future mother-in-law March in uninvited."Come! The dresses are here!" Lex's mother, Angelica cooed. "
Essex POV After Octavia declared her challenge I nearly had a heart attack. This wasn't happening. "Babe, calm down. The mutt is digging her own grave," Rose said pulling on my arm. "She's not a mutt. She is my mate!" I growled pulling away from her. "Why must you do this to me? I've loved you for four years. Octavia has said it herself. She does not believe in love, only duty. I believe in both," she whimpered. "Is that why you called me by Aiken's name all afternoon?" I asked. "I-I," she stuttered, but I didn't care. I thought I loved the she-wolf standing before me, but I know now that it was only infatuation. I have not successfully ended our relationship up until this point. I couldn’t marry her."I will not allow her to go through with this!" I said storming the stage just as the double doors to the Great Hall slammed open. Imagine our surprise when Vincent strolled inside as if he owned the place. Gasps filled the air along with a ferocious growl from Alpha King Lincoln who
Alpha Lex's POV"I will be glad when you rid us of that bastard! How dare she embarrass you like that. I should fight in your place," Taysia said stuffing her face with a strawberry tart. "She would annihilate you," I said plainly. "WHAT?" Taysia asked offended. "Never underestimate your opponent," I explained. "I know that, but you think she could best me," she pouted. "And here's why," I said throwing the tart from her hands against the wall. "B-But, I'm with child!" She shouted. "No, you're not! Stop lying to everyone about it, will ya?" I said irritated.I waited for a rebuttal, but by now she knew better. She set quiet in the corner while I waited for Vincent and his Duke that tagged along to accompany me in my study. The Duke just showed up after handling a personal matter back at his home."LEX!" Alpha King Vincent of the West said barging into my study. "Knocking would have been preferred, your grace," I said refusing to bow. "Mate!" I heard Taysia say standing to her feet. "Ma
Rose's POV "Have you seen your sister, Taysia?" Duke Sayid desperately asked. "We had a great time getting to know each other a couple days ago, but then she asked for some time to think. I've barely seen her since!" He huffed. "I will keep an eye out. I have not spoken to her. I've just returned from Cassius. I will locate her," I replied knowing she would probably be somewhere Alpha Lex dwelled. She knows how big of a mistake I made rejecting Aiken. Why on earth would she make the same stupid decision? I was prepared to give her a piece of my mind until Aiken came into view. "Moon Goddess, you have quite the sense of humor," I murmured to myself. I tried to avoid him and the fact that he was holding hands with Matilda. She used to be Octavia's handmaiden. That made the blow so much worse. Matilda gave Aiken a kiss, giggled, and ran into the castle. "It's good to see you," I said stepping into his sight. "R-Rose?" He stammered. "The one and only," I blushed. "What are you doing
