Ariel’s POVShe anticipated my rage and didn’t avoid my hits.“Bitch, I know you trying to stop my coronation.”Kenzie kept on laughing and Alpha Miles did nothing to stop her. Why was I even surprised?“It’s no use hitting you. I will face you later.”“I think a screw got loose in your head. I’m surprised you can act rashly.” She pushed me to the wall.“I will come for you. I will make sure to take everything away from you. All you ever wanted. A son. The Luna position and even Alpha Miles!” I decided to fight her with my words. My hands did little to satiate my pain.“I’m glad I exposed your son to promiscuity via Tiara.” She kept blowing her horn.For the first time since our heated exchange, he spoke up.“Kenzie, you shouldn’t have done such a thing! How could you use my son to get at a fellow woman? What kind of a woman did I marry?!”Sincere pain etched his eyes. “You married into the coven. And I will deliver you from this evil witch who wants to tie you down with her barrennes
Alpha Miles POVI was watching her tantric display from the corner where I stood. It was beguiling to my sight.But nothing could be more beguiling than the thought of my son being raped out of social injustice caused on her part.I felt like thrashing my claws into her to leave an indelible mark even in her afterlife. And to think I was thrashing into her orifice the other day.“I’m glad that witch will be gone for our lives. But the emotional scar our son has been left with…” I couldn’t complete my statement as I wallowed in anguish.“I know you didn’t believe me when I said I had nothing to do with it. I told you, her evil deeds will cause her undoing. Tiara was her karma. I knew she was going to come after me. I mean Ariel. Thank goodness, I had the sleeping powder handy. I told you we were going to need that soon.” I poured out to Miles.“Kenzie, I’m glad we're done with all our enemies now.”“Except Brian though.”“Brian won’t come after my life like the rest. It’s just going to
Kenzie's POVOn getting home from Ariel's lunatic display, I needed nothing more than a soothing foot rub and a deep sleep. Alpha Miles was going to provide that for me if not for his sulking child. He hid himself in his room all day. And didn't even come out to greet us this morning. Well understood - he was feeling embarrassed about yesterday. Being caught in a compromising position with an older woman was enough torture on its own or so I thought.We were met with another episode.Just as I was about to lay my head on my husband's fresh lap he barged into our room."Son, don't you know how to knock?" I shot at him."Who is your son? You are not my mother!" He roared, with dry tears on his cheeks. "Because of you, my mother will be killed.""I had nothing to do with it…""Liar! Shut up!" He yelled and I held my tongue in surprise. Such audacious effrontery to talk to me in that manner."Will you stop it? How dare you talk to my wife in that manner?!" Alpha Miles intervened.He kep
Ambrose’s POVI couldn’t wait much longer. They were taking ample time to finish off their business. And hearing their incessant sounds was making matters worse.It's more like they meant to punish me for leaving Brian.Brian.After all these years, his name still makes my heart pound.Now I was at his door – afraid to knock.I stood there for what seemed like an eternity.I guess it was time to seek emotional closure.I was here for two reasons.To warn him to thread with caution and to cut my ties with him.Possibly, if I see him again, I could let go.Because after all these years, he had been showing up in my dreams.I guess it’s always like that for first loves.Finally, I knocked.It was the same moment my heart thumped.No sooner had I knocked than he answered.I could read the shocking expression on his face.But soon dissolved into an arbitrary hug and warm smile.“Ambrose!” He screamed in delight. “I thought I’d never see you again.”It was then I knew how much I missed him.
Ambrose’s POV“Sorry, I had to kidnap you from your previous home, my Lady.” An elderly man towered over me on the throne. He was sitting on a different throne than Alpha Miles.An Alpha’s throne had a lion’s head sculpted on it.As for this old man’s throne, it was a dragon’s head spitting out fire.I wonder how they were able to sculpt that with the fire.Without mincing words, I assumed the old man to be Emperor Alpha. I had never seen him before.My heart skipped at the thought of an emperor alpha being present for a meeting.Such of his kind didn’t attend casual meetings except it was deadly serious.In werewolf history, an emperor alpha was responsible for affairs that presided over the Alpha.I hope it’s not what I’m thinking…“Hope I’m forgiven…” He continued.“Your Highness, thank you for the mansion you gifted me.” I bowed in honour and awe of him asking me for forgiveness. Who am I to not forgive him? If I knew I’d be dragged from my shabby home and gifted a Maryland presen
Alpha Miles POVI hesitated a while closing my eyes. I had seen my son play all manner of games in the name of gambling.Once he had picked a ten out of so many cards. When I asked him how he did it, Jeff didn’t hesitate to explain it to me.“By the feel of the card, you will know. Some feel greasy. Others feel light… Like a five feels rough on the surface kind of. You just have to get familiar with how they feel.”“But they all feel the same…”“No dad. There is a light difference. But as you play overtime, you notice the difference.”Then I touched the cards and noticed no difference. All felt greasy and light.“Weigh the cards. Some are lighter. Try it dad.” Jeff egged me.I did as he explained. But only got frustrated. “Let’s just say you are a pro at this.” I told my son, giving in to him. He laughed at me.Only these were not cards, but I could apply the same logic.Sadly, all coins felt the same…“You are taking too long, Alpha.” The Royal Priestess hastened me.I’d just have t
Alpha Miles POVThere was no courtship. No rite of proposal. No engagement. Not even an introduction. Nothing! It seemed too extreme to consummate a union that was not blessed by our parents, though the goddess had stamped our fusion.I couldn’t bring myself to sleep with her. And neither could she. We didn’t want this either.We just stayed in the same room. Eating. Sleeping. And contemplating what next. Until the third day. We needed to act fast except we cared little for our lives and the pack.As hard as it was to come to terms with, we had to do the bidding of the goddess.We are roped with each other.“What do we do?” She asked me.“What can we do?” I replied.“Perhaps we can just pretend we slept with each other…” She suggested.My peals of laughter cut her short. “Have you forgotten the goddess promised us three curses? First, death. Second, to freeze the womb of our lineage respectively. And third, to disturb my reign.”She sighed, closing her eyes. “I feel bad for Kenzie.”“
Alpha Miles POVWhen she mumbled the words on the card, I knew why.It read Touch yourself in front of your partner.“Not such a bad idea. Lemme guess – you’ve never touched yourself before?”I could sense she was starting to feel embarrassed.“Don’t worry. You can touch yourself, while I close my eyes.” Without further ado, I closed my eyes. “Tell me when to open my eyes.”“Yeah.”A few minutes passed and she told me to open my eyes.I did.Only to meet her doing some unfinished business.“I thought you were done.”“I thought I was too. But that is not for the best.” She said struggling to concentrate as she touched her breasts.Watching a woman explore herself was always an exotic sight to see.Especially beholding conservative Ambrose whom you’d think was innocent.She didn’t look so innocent now.“I’m done.” She announced.“You are taking bold steps now.” I encouraged her. She was making efforts. “My turn.”I flipped my card to reveal another unexpected twist.Ambrose read the exp
