Alpa Miles POVFear gripped the hearts of the people – talking and whispering among themselves. Especially with what they just saw.With the Priestess dance came the burning incense emitting smoke. That was the medium through which the gods spoke. And the Great Mother dance could only mean one thing…“Great werewolves of New Crystal Pack, the words of our ancestors delight in sending us the child of the prophecy. She shall be an Alpha female ruler; identified by emerald eyes.”The prophecy was short and sudden. But believable and cheered the hearts of men.The Oracle was higher than an Alpha king or constitutional law and prophecy.With the decree about an Alpha female ruler; there shall be no opposition to subsequent female rulers.I was glad for Zara. Her baby will achieve what she couldn’t achieve.Her pregnancy served a purpose. One that will be remembered for a lifetime. A legacy.I relaxed a bit knowing that would mean Zara wouldn’t die. The child in her womb must be the child o
Alpha Miles POV“You asked to see me in private.” I was approaching the altar where Priestess Alora stayed on her knees – ringing the star bell in prayers.“I’ve never seen a revelation so vivid.” Priestess Alora hinted.“What do you mean?”“Alpha Miles, kindly go down on your knees.”I obeyed.“Dip your hands in the salty sacred water beside you.”I obeyed.“Let your heart remain calm and meditate on the fire that can never be put out. The news I’m about to relay to you may come as a shock.”My heart began to beat faster. “Is anyone going to die?”“Far from it. Here is what I received.” By now, Priestess Alora got up and towered over me.I readied my heart to receive her revelation.“I do not know how to tell you this. But I will say it anyway. Selene doesn’t want her children bathed in blood. She asks that you spare yourself warship and retire from the throne.”I got up from my knees in reflex. “I’ve done so much to get here. Where is this coming from? Don’t I make a good ruler?”“T
Alpha Miles POVHow I planned to frame him as easy-peasy.He did present us with some liquorice teas as wedding gifts. My Beta had brought him to me in the interrogation room.On the wall hung different types of daggers and pistols with screws.It was a scary place to be.But Alpha Dax didn’t seem the least scared.“Why am I here? Do you realise what Alpha Jerry could do to you if this gets out? Forget the fact that you are his son-in-law…”I didn’t allow him to finish as I landed a rough slap on his cheeks.“Guards!”I called their attention and he was immediately strapped to a seat just above a barrel of hot oil. He wrestled against the hefty men that held him bound but it was to no avail.His eyes shot daggers at me. “You have no respect for your elders!”“And you have no respect for human life. I will teach you what it means to lose one.”“What does that mean?” His gaze burrowed in curiosity.“Before I drop you in boiling water, I just need you to tell me the truth.” I took my se
Alpha Miles POVIt was my wedding day with Kenzie.I was all shades of happy.Coupled with the fact that I got Brian’s father exactly where I wanted him.Everything was panning out according to the script.And just like that, I got Brian’s father in court for trying to harm my baby and wife.With Kenzie’s help, she delivered the letter written in Brian’s father’s blood. And the rest took care of itself from there.The law guiding the New Crystal pack was not too friendly.Though I hate to do this to Brian, the law demanded he be sentenced to life imprisonment.Brian was back home in no time. Only that he had not shown up at my doorstep. Ditto for me. I needed to give him space coupled with embarrassing jail time I offered his dad.I don’t care if at this point, he was angry with me.I did it for his good.That manipulative father of his was going to keep pushing him around till he couldn’t recognise himself anymore.I knew he would come to understand my intent soon enough.As for Ambr
Alpha Miles POV“It’s your wedding day else I’d have punched you in the face.” Came Brian’s curt response. His face moulded into a mean shape.“Bro, I did this for you. For me. He tried to harm Zara.”“Life imprisonment was the best you could do?” He almost shouted at me.“Your father left him no choice. According to the law – the wage of poisoning an infant is death. But your cousin was merciful to grant him a life sentence.” Kenzie explained.I could feel Brian’s pain. He didn’t know where to direct his anger. The anger he had towards his father.Since his father was locked up, he blamed himself partly. And the rest of the blame was directed at me.“Do you think I was too stubborn? Maybe I could have at least participated in the Alpha competition for my father’s sake. And he wouldn’t have tried to kill your baby.”His voice was cracking up like he was about to cry.“Don’t do that Brian. You’ve done enough for that old man you call your father. Ever since you were born, you did every
Alpha Miles POV Zara’s sudden unwarranted death was causing a bit of a commotion. I wasn’t ready to relay the news to her father just yet. Rather I racked my brain on who the culprit could be. “Was that urushiol for real?” Everyone seemed to believe it except me because I witnessed her sudden death. In confirmation, I asked the doctor one more time even though he had made the pronouncement that she was dead from such medicine. “Never been so sure.” “Who could it be?” I thought to myself. I needed someone to help me out on this case. All I could think of was the man whose father I had imprisoned for life. No other than my cousin Brian. He used to work as an informant in the Buyong Agency before his father forced him to leave. I’ve never needed to use his services. But I witnessed firsthand how good he was. Perhaps his strategies were made for such a time as this. I dismissed the doctor and hesitated to send for Brian. The reason was clear. He was still angry with me about his
Alpha Miles POV“You dare to imprison people like Brian’s father. So why can’t I imprison someone with death? My reason is justifiable.” Kenzie showed no remorse concerning what she did.The silk gift was laced with poison. Urushiol with lilac fragrance gives a slow unnoticeable death.I clapped her in awe. “You planned this out so well. How clever?! So, no what has changed?! How could you take a life like Zara’s? She was nice to you!” My voice was laced with dismay. “You are not the Kenzie I know.”“That’s right. Everything changed when you decided to consider marrying me as a concubine.”“Is this your way of supporting your fated mate? Are you trying to get in my way of having an heir?”“We can adopt, Miles!”“We know better than that. The pack doesn’t crown an adopted heir. Such a son will only be good for family keep.”“We can fight the odds! Even Selene is changing the world by pronouncing an Alpha female ruler.”“That’s different, Kenzie.”“That’s the least price I can pay for c
“You are something. You eliminated Brian’s father. And waited two years to do so to cut off any suspicion.” Kenzie analysed. She was right.“Slow and steady wins the race.”“I’m right. That was your plan! Brian’s father dying in the hands of a psychedelic – that was you.”“We are even now. You killed my Luna. And I killed my most cherished cousin’s father. I won’t blame you anymore. We are both despicable. Fated to be together indeed.”“Lovely. I won’t blame you either.” She bent to whisper in my ear, kissing my biscuit bone to seal her promise.Having no choice back then, he was released as Kenzie had said.But I had made up my mind to go the extra mile.Brian’s father was one core enemy of mine.And unfortunately, his disease didn’t start encroaching on Brian and me until now.All this while, we have gotten along even with his ill-fated father.I guess the tables turned with the appearance of my maternal uncle and a hidden truth somewhere. The truth about his lineage having the righ
Alpha Reon’s POV“Swara!” I caught up with her at the temple.All through my traveling, I thought about her.I couldn’t be more glad we were alive to see each other after a series of painful events.She was taking a nap when I burst in; strangling my arms around her before she could fully wake up.“My Lady, I’ve missed you!” I hugged her even tighter.Still, in a half-sleepy state, she wondered if I was the one.“Last I heard of you, you were in prison.” She yawned like a cute puppy.“All I had to do was think about you till I got out.” I peered at her angelic eyes; enjoying the way they looked at me. Absence surely makes the heart go fonder.“Come here.” She drew me in for her hug. I melted in her soothing embrace.Never had a hug felt so nice.“First time you are being this romantic with me.” I teased her.“How you always tease me.” She rolled her eyes and disentangled from my embrace.“I heard what you did. What were you thinking giving your golden sceptre to Kenzie?” I scolded her
Alpha Miles POV“Noooo!’ I ran to meet my dying wife. The wife of my youth.Even though she deserved death, I wanted to punish her myself.As I ran to hold her in my arms; I saw my daughter crash to the ground.“Saloni!”She had been fighting with Dragon. Relentless and with everything in her. While this fight seemed like easy feet for Dragon, it was not so for my daughter.She was about to give in anytime soon.Just before I could reach her, the rogue leader putting on a Dragon mask sliced her neck in one flick of his sword.I was too in shock to move.“Saloni!!!” I screamed her name to wake up. Tears hugged my cheeks like a river.It was then I noticed Dragon take on a familiar opponent. The man who had struck my wife. Brian!That was Brian!As he swerved his sword in the air, he unmasked the Dragon with his sword.And more shock awaited me.“Jeff!” That was my son! I could recognise him in one glance.Much had not changed about him except his broad shoulders and mature look.I das
Kenzie's POVWith my bleeding situation, I ran to the interior of the Pinewood forest to recuperate.Getting some fresh gliricidia leaves and datura metal, I treated myself.When I felt a bit okay, I mindlinked the rogue pack I was affiliated with.I needed to find that bitch’s father/ But that wasn’t the priority on my list.I had something else planned out.In no time, the rogue leader by the code name Dragon answered my call via the mind link.Whenever we met, he always wore a mask to hide his identity.“I need to see you. Are you at the rogue mountain?” I inquired.“We are at the uphill valley.” He responded. “Get your men ready before I arrive.” I ordered. He obeyed my every whim.He was the leader of the rogue pack, but submissive to me. He served me with due diligence and was responsible for helping me steal gold from the Emperor Alpha.As soon as I got to the uphill valley, I already met about a thousand men waiting at my command.It was easy to address them from the hilly pa
Swara's POV“My Lady, the woman whom you told me about is approaching our territory.” Clara informed me.“Thank you. You are dismissed. Go find me the doctor.”She curtsied and left to carry out my order.I was still at the temple for my safety. Ever since the incident of Lena attacking me, I had not gone back to the house ever since. And Clara had been the one serving me faithfully at the temple.Lena.When I remember how she almost ended my life with her knife. Thank goodness that was in the past.But her bad karma was haunting me in the form of my step mum - seeking me out to ask about Brian.I was well aware Kenzie would be on her way now. To find out if it’s true that BRIAN wrote to her. Telling her to be present at my fake burial.Without further ado, I sent out Clara to let me know when she arrives at the borders of Green Pack territory. I had presented her with a painting of Kenzie and knowing she could come in guise, I could trust Clara to recognise her regardless of being s
Alpha Miles POVPRESENT“From then on, Ambrose stayed with us till she delivered the baby. That’s when we found out she was pregnant with you and your twin sister.” I told Saloni who seemed to have been intrigued by my story.“Oh, that explains why I’m the favoured one.”“When the DNA test was carried out, only yours matched mine. I didn’t spare Brian. He was exiled and sent to prison in a foreign land where he’d be there for life! And even when he came back to New Moon, I had him sent back there by framing him for Commander Keith's crime.""Oh, I remember Commander Keith. The one who wanted to be with another man's wife. He had him killed by staying at the frontline of battle." I recalled."But rumour has it that he bribed his way out of prison. So now, he roams about like an ex-con." My daughter didn't believe he was dead either. One who was locked up in prison so many times must have outstood prison death."You are right. As of then, even the Noron faction couldn’t save him when th
Alpha Miles POV“Your Majesty! I had not expected you to honour me this way. Who am I that you’d visit?” I exclaimed, alarmed that Emperor Alpha himself came visiting.Initially, I thought it was Ambrose. Sooner or later, I’d have her live with us in the next quarters. Let me see how she wants to sneak a man into my abode. For fear he might impregnate her before I did, I’d have her kept away from him. Though I strongly believed she was already pregnant for me by the goddess.But now things were getting complicated.When Kenzie showed me that clip, it broke my heart to see she went into another man that same day. Even if she despised me so much, she could have waited. Not that same day.Fear began to grip my heart. Was this part of Brian’s brilliant plan to alienate me from the throne? I know he couldn’t confront me physically. But he was good at strategizing and patient until he hit his target.“Have your seat, sire.” I ushered Emperor Alpha to a comfy seat nearby.Why was he here? I
Kenzie’s POVI was still bent on seeing Ambrose that day even after a furious fuck session with my husband. That didn’t ease my mind one bit that she may steal him from me with her forthcoming baby.Miles wasn’t happy about the fact that I didn’t want to cuddle.But he understood. If he needed to enjoy my vulnerability in bed, I needed to satiate my curiosity. I had shared my man with two women now. And it was no easy feat/ My sister could do greater damage, not minding we are family.I didn’t trust her enough to just want to make a baby with my man.Of course, she must have enjoyed having him that close to her.“See you soon babe.” I smacked his bare ass on the bed as I left.“Fuck you as soon as you return.” He retorted, still in the afterglow of our just concluded lovemaking ride.I took out my car keys and headed to Ambrose’s place only to meet an empty apartment.Well since I had it in mind to see Brian too; I decided to head to his place.I wanted to know his state of mind towar
Alpha Miles POVI got to her villa as soon as I could, only for Kenzie to give me the cold shoulder. Acting strange, angry, and in a world of her own.” I’m coming from the execution ground. Ariel has been beheaded.” I mentioned elevating her mood. But she didn’t even look up from the book she was reading. So I continued. “I didn’t stay too long with Ambrose today. We wrapped things up and I was summoned to stop Jeff. Can you believe he barged in with my men using the Command seal I gave to him?” I ended with a question to arouse her interest, but nothing piqued her attention.“How did you find it?” She stood against the door, plummeting trouble.“What do you mean?” I acted ignorant.“Seeing you relay other events except one thing shows that sleeping with my sister wasn’t that a big deal, huh?” She sounded dismissive.“Stop acting like I had a choice in this matter.” I defended. Then decided to take it easy on her, knowing she must have been hurting. “I’m sorry but this was forced upo
Alpha Miles’ POVI got back from the execution ground just in time to stop Jeff.He was able to command the Royal Soldiers – about 1000 of them so he could release his mum. In anger, I didn’t hesitate to slash his right arm with my sword to stop him from proceeding. As soon as the royal soldiers saw me, they became afraid and retreated. Without mincing words, I scolded him. Promising to ground him in his quarters and retrieve the Command seal in his possession. As an Alpha heir and not wanting him to feel too bad about losing his mother, I wanted to show him I trusted him by giving him a part of me in the form of that Command seal. And here he was, abusing that opportunity.“Are you aware that if Emperor Alpha got wind of this, you will be beheaded? How can you act so foolish!”“I do not care about the consequences of my action. I’d accept any punishment Father gives me.” My son kowtowed to me.“Foolish son of mine!” I was still boiling with rage. “Hand over the Command seal in your p
