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
Swara’s POV “We can’t be together. Except you reject her,” my heart broke into a thousand pieces hearing those words from her mouth. I transformed into my wolf form and ran to the deep forest so I could cry in solitude. I wasn’t crying because of what she said. But I knew his answer already. He was nodding in acceptance to what she said. “Rejecting her is the best thing to do. Her wolf is weak. She can’t be useful to you. Moreso, you love me more than you love her. You are only fated to her. Therefore, you think you owe her one. That’s where you are wrong.” I could still hear her voice in the distance. FLASHBACK Like every normal day, I awoke before dawn and resumed my usual routine. It was my duty to make sure the maids performed their duty while I took over kitchen duties. Father loves my cooking. But I think it’s fair enough for me to cook since that’s my only usefulness to my family. It was mentally draining waking up early to supervise the stubborn maids. They had since los
Swara’s POVLuckily, my family was yet to be back.I dialled his number again. He picked up on the fifth trial.“Hey, Bram. Are you good? I got worried.” I asked in a rush.“I’m sorry Swara. I got caught up in something. Happy Birthday, my love. I’m sorry I couldn’t show up this morning.”“You could have called babe. I was left in the dark. I waited all day for you.”Í know I kept you waiting and I’m deeply sorry, Swara. I will make it up to you, I promise. There is somewhere I’d love to take you soon.” I could hear a voice in the background and sudden silence. “I’ve got to go dear. We will talk later.”“Alright.” Barely had I finished when he hung up.His action took me by surprise. Was he in a meeting? He was acting strange. He’d normally excuse himself from a meeting to talk to me. And we’d talk for hours. But tonight’s call felt rushed and off.I calmed my thoughts from running wild and thinking amiss. Alpha Bram will never hurt me deliberately like my father. He was one of the fe
Swara’s POVI noticed there was a backdoor right where they stood. Sure it led to the bathroom. Little wonder, they could catch up with me so fast.I was out of breath from running and too weak to fight.I felt like beating Bram to a pulp but I was no match for him.So I faced my twin sister. I was no match for her either. But I was willing to give it a try.“How could you Saloni?” I matched across to her, willing to slap her. But she was faster than me. She caught my hand and held it firmly.“You know I’m more useful to him than you are. It’s high time you accepted the truth.”“And what is the truth?” I yelled still struggling to free my hand. But she wouldn’t budge.“The truth is he can never be with you. He was only stalling till the right time to tell you. If he ever makes you, that’d be after I’ve given him an heir so your weak energy doesn’t tamper with his vital essence.”“How could you do this to me, Saloni?” Tears wouldn’t stop brimming down my cheeks.“Balme it on your wolf
Bram’s POVI couldn’t bear to look at her innocent and pain-filled eyes when I rejected her. But I needed to make a drastic decision for the good of my future.I watched Swara sleep. She had passed out on me when I said those words to her. “Don’t do that, Swara. This is not you. Don’t make me lose my respect for you.”I must have hurt her badly. But I hope she looks past the hurt and understand why I did what I did.If I had not rejected her, she would always be the envy of her sister and father. And my pack will make life a living hell for her.With her weak wolf, it’s hardly she will survive conception. It’s either she survives the child or she dies at childbirth.I didn’t want any of those for her.I remembered how we first met. It was during her shifting ceremony. I was happy to have met my fated mate. But I didn’t approach her then. I waited and stalked her movement.I deliberately bumped into her at the shopping mall one fateful evening in a bid to talk to her.Her shopping item
Swara’s POV I felt a sharp pain in my head as I rose to consciousness. The heavy rays of light that filled the room through the window made me think it was morning. Fresh memories of what happened hours ago came gushing into my subconsciousness. I thought I would be tired of crying by now yet my eyes started to get misty. I got out of bed – feeling stiff all over. I winced in pain as I felt it burdensome to move my waist. Slowly, I made way for the mirror. What a mess I was! My eyes contained 12 years of sorrow and bucketful of tears that were about to rain down on my cheeks. I lost the effort to wipe my teary face and just allowed my mind to brood over my worst birthday. I’ve always had it worse. But this was the worst. One time my father flogged me on my birthday for going out with friends to celebrate. He had bought Saloni a cake and I didn’t get to eat a bite. He had taken her out while I enslaved them in the kitchen. After I was done, I grew bored and depressed. And I
Alpha Reon’s POVPeople say I’m the most vicious Alpha to kill my father and usurp the throne from him. What they don’t know is what he did to me first.He killed my fated mate.Why?She was a descendant of the family that committed treason.Father wouldn’t hear my pleas to spare her. Moreso, she didn’t take part in the treason.He believed she wanted me for the sole purpose of seeking revenge for her family.Since the day he issued the command to have her beheaded, I have never been the same again. If my father could do something as callous as killing his woman, I’d continue to make people fear me and my sword.When I lived under my father’s shadow, people saw me as a weak heir. One who can’t rule and be as brave as his father.I was glad to have been given a chance to prove them wrong.All the court officials have nothing on me.Some have tried to get in my favour by suggesting I marry from their clan.But I’d hear nothing of it.I wasn’t in the mood to take on another woman.Judith
Alpha Reon’s POV“What do you want with her?” I asked the bloodthirsty men. “What did she do so wrong? On whose orders are you acting?”The commander in charge stepped forward to give me a response. I knew his name to be Gamma Atticus.“My King. Her father gave the orders to kill her.”“Why would a father want to kill his daughter?! No matter what she did wrong, that’s outrageous!” I exclaimed. I was the least surprised considering what my father did to me. Judith was my life. And when he killed her, he took my life.“Swara is on the run because she has lost her mind since Bram called it off with her. She stole her father’s car and money. Even some of Saloni’s clothes. Because of this, her father decreed she is now a rogue and to be handled as such!” Gamma Atticus spelt it out to me.I scrunched my nose in disgust.“Young lady, your name is Swara?” I turned to look into her eyes.Her pleading eyes.“Please don’t allow them to kill me. My father wants me dead at all costs. I didn’t ste

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
