The guard ran frantically into the throne room, his face contorted in panic. He was carrying a box, its contents unknown. His eyes darted between Blair and Oscar, and he said in a strained voice, "It's from the rival alpha king Augustra".Confusion flashed across both Blair and Oscar's faces. Oscar stepped forward, but Blair reached the guard first and snatched the box from his hands. He stood tall and ripped open the box, his face suddenly frozen. Oscar peered over his shoulder, and his face twisted in horror.Inside the box lay Kaleb's head, dripping with blood. His eyes were closed and the skin of his face was pale and waxen. Oscar stepped away from the box, his breath coming in shallow gasps. He turned to the guard, and demanded in a trembling voice, "What is the meaning of this?"The guard shook his head, and said in a broken voice, "I don't know, your Highness. King Augustra sent it to you with no explanation."Blair's jaw clenched, and he said in a low, dangerous voice, "It see
Oscar stormed out of Blair's throne room, spitting out the door with disgust. Blair's relentless, stubborn demeanor had gotten to him this time, and he wondered if he'd be able to work with him anymore. Oscar had thought he could control Blair and make him his puppet in his battle for the Alpha's place with Augustra, but Blair had become too hot headed for his own good. He needed to be put on a leash. But as Oscar made his way down the long hallway, he was distracted by a loud crash coming from the throne room. He stopped in his tracks, his heart racing. He knew he should keep going, but his curiosity got the better of him and he slowly crept back towards the throne room. He peered in to find Blair standing in the center of the room, surrounded by a pile of shattered glass.Blair's gaze met his and Oscar felt a chill run down his spine. Blair's eyes were wild and full of rage. Oscar had never seen him this angry before. Blair let out a feral roar and Oscar took a step back, his heart
Oscar had finished with Tabitha and watched as she turned to leave when he decided he wanted to see how Amelia was doing. Being human, he was sure she could not take this much. Only a wolf was strong enough to go through anything thrown at them and conquer it. Amelia was just not that person to him With his heart pounding in his chest, he walked straight to the healer's tent where he assumed Amelia would be. He had to make sure Amelia was fine, make sure her wound had healed. But he had been told she was not there, she had been moved to a building not too far from his tent. He walked there and soon he was in the building. The hallway was long, and the walls were lined with portraits of Blair, the supposed wolf king that had tried to harm his Amelia. Oscar could feel the anger bubbling up inside him, but he pushed it down. He had to stay focused. He could feel the tension in the air, the fear that seemed to hang like a cloud when he opened the door and walked in. As he reached the
Blair remembered Oscar turning his back to leave Amelia. He knew Oscar was not one to be trusted but he never expected that Oscar would betray him for a woman. He was now boiling with anger as he thought about it. He stood up from his chair and his fists clenched tightly as he took a few steps forward. His face was filled with rage and he looked ready to explode. The throne room was filled with a tense atmosphere. Every guard was on high alert, their hands resting on their swords, ready to fight at a moment's notice. Blair stopped in front of the enormous painting of him that hung on the wall. With a roar, he punched the glass, shattering it into a million pieces. The guards heard the loud glass shatter and came running in, assuming their defensive position, ready to shift forms and protect their alpha. But when they saw Blair standing there with a cut on his hand, they knew that he was not in danger. He simply asked them to leave him alone. They all bowed their heads and stepped ba
The Kingdom which Augustra, the Alpha ruled over had been in a state of chaos for days. King Augustra had been absent from the kingdom for days and nobody knew why. He had been a strong and wise alpha for many years, but his health had started deteriorating and this time, the signs were obvious. The citizens of his inner chamber were worried and filled with anxiety. They had heard rumors that their Alpha was sick and that he was coughing blood. The people wanted to know the truth.

The maids were in tears, they had not seen their king for days and they were desperate for news of his health.Alpha Augustra's new second in command, the new beta wolf, Mikel was particularly concerned about the Alpha's health. He had heard rumors that the Alpha's sickness had worsened and he feared the worst. He sent out messengers t
Augustra had been king of the werewolf pack for the past five hundred years. He had conquered and achieved all he wanted in his lifetime. He had fought wars, won them and bragged about it. He had everything at his disposal and he enjoyed it but now, he was nearing death.It was not natural death, it was death that had been caused by a witch. He did not want to die at all, but he also could not live thinking of what it would cost himAll that was going down the drain. His riches, his kingdom, his alpha ship and his bragging right, but none of this mattered to Augustra. All he cared about was his beloved Luna, Amelia. He loved her deeply, and he wanted to protect her.But now, he had been presented with an impossible choice. He had to sacrifice Amelia if he wanted to stay alive.Augustra stood watching his Luna's image in the mirror, his heart aching. He knew what he had to do, but he had no idea how he would be able to bring himself to do it. He knew that if he did, he would be cursed
Zack's heart felt like it was sinking as Wendy spoke. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. He had been married to her for two months, yet she still had feelings for him because he was her friend's lover. He wanted to know why she had married him if she felt he was still tied to Amelia, her friend and colleague. He was not in love with someone else. He was in love with her. He couldn't take it anymore and he got out of bed. He walked to the window, his heart feeling heavy. It was raining outside, the drops of rain echoing his sorrow.He couldn't understand why Wendy had married him if she valued Amelia, even in her presence over him. He was angry and he started to pace around the room. He thought back to the time before Amelia, the time before Wendy's accident. The beautiful day they got married, to the moments they shared, and how he thought they were meant to be together.But it was all a lie.He stopped pacing and looked at her. She was lying in bed, her eyes closed. He wanted
Amelia and Oscar were still running. Amelia was running out of breath. Oscar suggested they stop to catch their breaths but Amelia refused, she didn't want to stop. Oscar insisted and at last, she agreed.Amelia looked at Oscar with a questioning gaze. She asked him why he was helping her escape when he knew it was a betrayal to Blair. Oscar sighed and looked away, he was hesitant to answer her question. After a few moments of silence, he finally spoke. He said that it was because he loved her. He told her that he had loved her ever since he saw her with Alpha Augustra. He wanted her to be his.Amelia was stunned. She didn't expect this. She felt overwhelmed, overwhelmed with emotions and confusion. She didn't know what to do. She felt a strange feeling inside her, a feeling she had never felt before.She wanted to tell Oscar that she doesn't feel the same way, that she doesn't love him, but she couldn't. She just couldn't bring herself to say it. She felt guilty.Oscar saw the look o
