* Prince Brad *For a few seconds, my father has stop talking, but when he did, it feels like my world stood still from the words that comes out of his mouth."I want the young she wolf eliminated as soon as possible and if the members of their family opposes then you have to brought them in for questioning and I want this over with as soon as possible. You can have to do this before the blood wolf Moon rises, otherwise.."I let out a harsh breath, I rarely kill a female wolf. In my hands only those that have turned rogue and no longer recognized themselves as good wolf suffers the faith. I have a terrible feeling that this won't be easy, not in the sense of making me weak however, it is against my own rules."Otherwise what? Father?"His eyes are burning with rage when he looks at me. However, no words come out of his mouth until a few seconds have passed. "Trust me that this is for the best. You have to do it in order to keep the peace in our pack, I don't want any rumors of having
* Sydney *They said that the crowned Prince is also the Alpha of the Royal pack, soon to be Alpha King Brad Langston is the Alpha of my pack. While his father is the current great Alpha King, and he is also the powerful wolf who holds a grudge against my family. I was not aware of the facts until I arrived at the Harger mansion."Oh my gosh, Sydney! You know that out of all my relatives Alpha Brad is my favorite you are so lucky to be his partner on the dance floor."I exhaled an air from the inside of my lungs."Jessica, this is not safe for me. Does he know about my real family background? What if he throws me out the moment he realizes the truth?""No! He will not do that. Relax my dear friend, he has no idea who you are. My parents are here to protect that information and I am here to protect you too. You are a sister to me."I look at her and read the genuine smile on her lips. Her father, Alpha Xander, and her mother Luna Nelika, are so fond of me. However, if worst comes to wo
* Sydney *His eyes changed when all the attention of the people present on the rooftop was directed toward us. I feel the chill of the cold wind running through my skin. However, when I meet his dark eyes I can see a reflection of myself in the deepest part of them. He must be confused when his expression changes into a blank space."This practice is over! You can all go home and we thank you for your presence tonight. Miss Cooper and I will manage the dance for Jessica’s birthday. This is a direct order!”It was an absolute command coming from him that none of Jessica's friends disagreed. They all fear the Alpha command that they have to follow immediately. It only took a couple of minutes until there is only the three of us above the rooftop."What's wrong Brad? Why won't you speak up now that there are only the three of us?"Jessica is a little bit annoyed her voice raised making him draw his attention away from me and into her."You can leave first Jessica, I must speak with Sydn
* Sydney *Days fly by fast, and I couldn't forgot the conversation I had with the Alpha. Brad Langston is not just any wolf or any other Alpha, he will soon become the Alpha King. And his words installed inside my head, he will take me to the Palace and then what? Will he punish me for the sins of my ancestors? Or will he pushed me down in front of the Alpha King and end my life there according to his command. I can run away, however I have no courage to tell Jessica or to leave her on her very important day."Sydney! Are you awake?"It was a question followed by the swinging of my bedroom door open. My eyes who's watching the window outside flew towards the image of Jessica in front of me. Her eyes dancing in delight, her big day is already tomorrow. I can’t tell her about my worries, I wouldn’t want to turn her happy day into the opposite nor give her something as a distraction."Good morning to you too!"I forced a smile to appear on my lips, returning her happy mood."Oh, Syd! I
* Sydney *The loud music from afar justifies the event as I watch my reflection in the big full-length mirror inside the room that I occupied in the Harger mansion. My strapless grosgrain-trimmed tulle gown in beige and black color fitted my body on the bust and waist then loose at the hip. I styled my hair on a French bun, showcasing my shoulders and collarbone. On my fit is a barely there black sandals in patent leather and I have no other accessories aside from the tiny diamond earrings on my earlobes. Jessica insisted on me wearing her diamond necklace to match the earrings however I politely declined. The dress is free, I can no longer take advantage of her generosity by taking a piece of expensive jewelry. It is her birthday, so I should act and dress up not to steal her moment."Miss Cooper?"I recognize the voice coming from Ana behind my bedroom door."Oh, Ana it is open. Please come in!"I have very light makeup on my face and one look at myself in the mirror reminds me of
* Sydney *As the Alpha and Luna of the West get their full attention towards Jessica, Alpha Brad has his eyes boldly glued into me. I can sense his desire raking through the way he looks at my shoulders down to the sandals that I am wearing and it makes my heart skip. I did not fail to notice that despite an angry look on his face, he looked so handsome in a classic slim-fit suit in a masculine gray color. His hair sleek back neatly and on his wrist is a heavy gold watch and nothing more. "Happy birthday Jessica, you look lovely as always. Now let us not block the other guests from coming and let us all head inside. By the way, thank you for bringing my dance partner."I opened my mouth to speak but no words would come out as he came forward and grabbed my elbow. The scent of his musky and citrus perfume assaulted my nostrils, it went inside my lungs just like drinking a potent potion it affected my senses numbing it and spreading quickly."Oh, thank you, Brad. Please take care of S
* Sydney *The hairs all over my body began to stand as the feel of his heated breathing beside my neck made my senses go wild. Alpha Brad groaned as I caught my breath feeling his soft lips touch my neck. It was a feather-like kiss barely touching his lips into my skin and yet it sent me into the highest part of the clouds just like my body being brought up and above the clouds."What are you doing?"There is no other way to hide my desire that was aroused by what he was doing. I have to keep myself from moaning like a wolf in heat."I am beginning to like your scent, I could easily determine you from the rest of the wolves. If we aren't here, you will be in trouble."His warm breath against my skin, as he spoke, made my temperature rise against the coldness of the night. He continued to press me back against the wall I could already feel him hard against my thin dress. The middle of his thighs is pressing against my stomach, the Moon Goddess knows how wet I become down there with hi
* Sydney *I feel my throat itch and dry probably I was a little exhausted from the dancing and from the fact that Alpha Brad was getting into me. Before I could think of something else I gulp down the remaining champagne in my tall glass. The taste of the alcohol and the cold partially numb all the stress that I'm feeling. Jessica giggles beside me."Are you that thirsty? Would you like another glass?""Oh, yes, please. I just felt like my throat was so dry."She waved her hand at the waiter and asked for two glasses of champagne. The waiter smiled and came back to us promptly, bringing the drinks.Jessica was not even finished with her first glass so I took both in my hands. "You didn't have to hold that Syd, just place them on the table behind you."I looked behind me and placed her full glass on the top of a small table, and then I brought mine to my lips and started sipping my drink. I was halfway when strong and warm fingers curled at my wrist. "Just how much do you think you’re
*Prince Brad*The huge place was well-decorated and full of guests from all over the region. I did not expect that they would all come, my father handed out the invitations for the four Alphas of the East, West, North, and Southern regions to come for my wedding day. It was only a week of preparations but everything falls into place faster than it should be. I have to thank the help of Jessica's family and Charles who gave us support for our most awaited day. As I stand at the altar waiting for her to come, my father is looking at me.My brother Nick and his mate Emma were also present. Jessica is with Sydney and my mother, getting ready but the rest of us are already present."What is taking them so long?"I fix the white bow tie on my neck and ask my father who's sitting not far from the place where I am standing. "They will be here any minute son just take it easy. Your mother said that they are on the way and Charles is already with your bride."I took a deep breath and calm mysel
* Sydney *In less than a week after that amazing breakfast we shared, Alpha Brad and I decided to hold the most significant day of our lives. The whole Royal Pack of Wolves has been busy decorating and preparing as we celebrate our union. We will have all the guests coming from different regions, the Alphas around the world are paying their respect to his father the Alpha King, and to Alpha Brad who's leading the Royal pack. I also meet face to face with his brother Nick and his mate Emma who is almost four months on the way."Oh! You are the most beautiful girl in a wedding dress Sydney! I am so happy to see you getting married, my friend. Now we would be officially family!"Jessica is full of life in her pink bridesmaid gown, the silky fabric fits her delicate skin. And I am nervous and excited at the same time, that without her I don't think I could act accordingly. It is true what they say that your wedding will be different from any other occasion that you attend. I've experienc
* Sydney *Disoriented, I opened my eyes to stare at a beautiful chandelier hanging above the ceiling. How long was I out? I remembered screaming in pain and the voice of my Aunt angry and vengeful. Even the pained expression on Alpha Brad's face. My hand searched for my stomach feeling the bandage around me, I was stabbed by a silver blade. A shocking revelation when my Aunt tried to kill me, I felt the pain in my heart more than the pain coming from my wound. I am thankful for my genes that I was able to endure and here I am still alive.Silver blades are making the wolves suffer from pain which can result in death. By I have survived, Alpha Brad has helped me."Oh, how long was I sleeping?"The female pack doctor smiled while looking at me. She wore a white lab jacket that made me feel, that I was well taken care of. "Good day, Miss Coopers! It's good to see you are awake. It is the fourth day now, to be exact. You are healing faster than a normal wolf. maybe it is because you have
* Prince Brad *It's been three days since Sydney has been confined in a room and sadly she has not woken up yet. The wound on her stomach is slowly healing and she is totally out of danger however, she is still not awake and I have nothing else to do but just stay with her every day and night. The pack is back to normal but I doubt it would ever be normal after the slaughter of the Cooper clan and the security being tightened by my father. I stretched the sore muscles of my body and stood up from the chair that I was sitting to walk towards the window."Good morning Your Majesty! How is our beautiful patient this morning?"Maleficus greeted me with two of the pack's female doctors behind him. It is time for them to change her bandages and her clothes. I may have to step out with the old man."Morning Maleficus."The two doctors greeted me and bowed their heads as I waved my hand to let them spare with the formal greetings and proceeded to take care of the things around her. I glanced
* Prince Brad *My mind is bleeding just like how Sydney faces the edge of losing her life I feel like I am losing mine looking at her and gritting my teeth clenching my fist because the monster beside her is killing her soon. I swear that she would get the punishment she deserves for hurting the most special she-wolf in my life. How did they know that Sydney was my mate? I have never told anyone about that! Not even Maleficus who already saw her in my vision, and what is going on? The old man saw me getting stabbed, not Sydney!"Stop this charade, Missis Cooper, I know that you care about Sydney. You should hurt me, not her! I am the one whose lineage has made you suffer. Leave her out of this!"I could almost kill her with the way I look at her but she is determined. Her eyes are now turning red and Sydney is losing her breath. If I prolonged this for the conversation, she would lose a lot of blood and die."I like to see the hurt in your eyes Alpha Brad, yes! That's it, beg me for
*Prince Brad *I never liked Charles and his arrogant pale face showing off in the Langston Palace. He might be related to me by blood but he is more like his father, who is a white wolf from the North. The wolves of the Langston family are only grey or brown to streaks of black yet Charles's wolf is as white as snow, a total opposite of his character. Despite that, I have to respect him being two decades older than me. It does not show in his face but he is a much older wolf with no mate and a mean character that I am worried about Sydney going to the North.As we wait for the Coopers to come and send them off, my pride and my feelings for Sydney are eating me alive. I gulp down a glass of whiskey and look at the front doors when a warrior bows his head to make an announcement."Your majesty, the Coopers are coming in."My father signaled his hand to let them inside. "Finally, the Coopers are here Charles."We all focus our sight on the front doors as they open. Sydney stands up to m
* Sydney *As I sat on the couch inside the comfort of the Langston Palace with the Alpha King and Luna Queen, I could not help but wonder why Alpha Brad is keeping to himself at a distance. Pouring himself a glass of whiskey so early in the morning while the rest of us are having coffee. The Luna Queen took a glance at him sitting on the long stool beside the bar counter. He must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed."Brad my dear, isn't it too early for whiskey? We have a guest coming, remember that Charles is the next Alpha of the North. He would be here at any minute."The Luna Queen voiced out, while the Alpha King looked at the door pretending that he did not notice anything from his son."It's alright Mother, just one glass should be fine. He has been here many times before, and I assure you that Charles will take a glass of whiskey and not a cup of coffee when he comes."I met his gaze towards me when the Luna Queen pouted and Alpha King Vincent waved his hand. "He is en
* Sydney *The Luna Queen was nice throughout the day and Alpha Brad was distant. I don't know what is going on in his mind anymore. I can't tell him that I'm hurt and that his treatment of me affected me the most. However, being with the Luna Queen seemed to change a lot of things about my stay in the Palace. "Look at this nice dress Sydney, it will suit you the best. You can wear it tomorrow dear, the successor of the North is coming to meet you and are you alright with visiting the North?"I look at her and the beautiful dress in her hand, she doesn't look old despite the huge gap between our ages. I noticed that Brad only took a little of her features, he took mostly out of his father's looks the Alpha King."Yes, Your Majesty. I agreed with the Alpha King's announcement to meet the soon-to-be Alpha of the North. He is a white wolf just like myself and maybe he can tell me more about our lineage.""Oh, yes that is right Sydney. The white wolves are only from the North, I heard th
* Prince Brad *My parents did not impose further on asking about my relationship with Sydney and it was better for me. I know that they have noticed my actions, which concern mostly about her. The changes I made, I was not even aware of it before. I acted all on impulse and according to how I felt inside. The dinner was over and we retired to our room but I chose to go into the old archives and dig deeper. Staying in the room without touching Sydney is an impossible thing to do, and I would rather work my ass to sleep."Good morning your Majesty! I am sorry to disturb you, sir."The apologetic face of one of the Palace's servants greeted me when I opened my eyes from leaning back on the couch. I had fallen asleep inside the old archives/"Good morning. Please put all these things in order, and bring me a hot cup of black coffee, no sugar.""Right away your majesty."The servant picked up the books and ledgers on top of the table and he then got himself out of the room to get what I h
