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
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
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
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
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.
