Chapter 97Carter's POV It was so dark outside and no guard was outside. They were all in the castle.For those Beta Gideon had brought back, claiming to be family members, I won’t hesitate to kill them as well if I should set my eyes on them.The freezing cold hits my body, but luckily enough, I am putting on a hoodie and a long trouser.It was eerily silent outside; only the sounds of birds and some insects could be heard.The moon shone so bright that I was seeing my reflection underneath me.This same moon was the reason why I was supposed to marry someone I have no interest in, come tomorrow. Luckily for me, that was never going to happen.I put the black hoodie over my head and made my way to the dungeon. I guess this is where I needed to be more vigilant. If not, my plans would be ruined and I will be done for. That evil beta wouldn't hesitate to kill my family and I and that's not what I want to happen. The hallway to the dungeon was not really too dark as the tall walls
Chapter 98Aurora's POV. Thinking that Carter and Chloe had gotten back together, I just decided to let go of everything as crying wasn't helping me anymore. We just sat in the dungeon , waiting for our soon to be demise any moment soon. We sat on the cold dungeon floor, Declan on my left and Arthur on my right. Since we were free of the chains, we could sit together. We just sat there doing nothing and just looking at the empty and dark dungeon. "Did you hear that noise?"I tilted my head to the side to gaze at Declan who had his eyes fixed at the door. I then turned to look at Arthur, who had his eyes fixed to the door as well.Arthur and Declan have not really been the best of friends. They kept fighting with each other.Declan would accuse Arthur of trying to kill his brother, that's why he was in the dungeon. Arthur on the other hand, would say that it was all his brother's fault because he hurt me.Then I will just be in the middle trying to keep my head straight, in or
Chapter 99Carter's POV. Beta Gideon was actually the one behind Aurora's father's death? and I had hated her for that long, thinking that her father had actually wanted to get rid of my father. Whereas the main person behind all that had been dining with us.My father on the other hand did not even do a proper investigation about all what had happened. He went ahead to kill the old man when he knew nothing about what had happened. It is only now that I am beginning to feel exactly how Aurora had felt since my own father had been killed by the same man who had plotted her father's death. Beta Gideon was worse than I thought. I have been in his house all this while and did not know exactly what was going on in the Dungeon. He had actually come here and told Aurora about what happened to her father, that he was the culprit behind all that. Same as Chloe had come and lied to Aurora that I had abandoned her in the Dungeon and wanted to marry her instead. Over my dead body wil
Chapter 100Carter's POV. We walked our way out of the dungeon and to the courtyard though it was not still safe.“We need to go straight to the Great Hall.” I tell them. "Yes, that's right but we need to be on high alert.”The guy called Arthur, stated and I nodded my head. He was right. We needed to be on high alert, if not, everything was going to go wrong on our side and we were going to lose. That is not what I want. We need to get out of this.Beta Gideon and his family need to be put to shame. I am going to drag him out and put him in front of the courtyard for every member of this pack to see and we could even stone him to death, because that's what somebody like him deserves"Alright, let's go. Aurora, I want you to be by my side. Do not lose guard no matter how much we fight. I want you to always stay by my side , do you understand?" I looked at my mate who was next to my brother. I didn't want her to leave my side."Fine, I have heard you. I will always be
Chapter 102.Aurora's POV. I don't know why Carter kept telling me to stand by his side the whole time. He thought I couldn't fight on my own. I couldn't just stand back and watch them fight. Was I just going to stand here like a damsel in distress waiting for them to fight for me?I also had powers of my own. I could do this. I have been through a lot more than this, so this was nothing. I know with my life that we were going to fight this, fight our way through. I didn't like the idea of him telling me to just stand by so that they could go ahead and fight. I needed to show my own skills, if anything this was our pack. It all belongs to us. Beta Gideon had done wrong to all of us. We had lost so much, because of him.The fact that he plotted against my father and conspired to kill him. He also tried bringing me into the mess , something I knew nothing about. Beta Gideon needed to go down. For all his wrongs, he needed to pay and a moment like this has come for him to
Chapter 102Carter's POVI turned my head to look at Aurora when she said that. It was not going to happen next to me. She needed to be by my side all the time.I wouldn't let her go and fight Chloe on her own. The fact that the alarm was already on, I know for sure that better Gideon was on high alert. He must have sent those rogues to protect his daughter by now.Aurora wouldn't be able to fight them. To add, we needed to get hold of Chloe because that was the only possible way we could get beta Gideon to submit to us.I bet he wouldn't want to see his daughter suffer because that's just how evil people are. They love to see others suffer and in pain, but would always hate it when it was themselves or the people they loved. What we needed to do right now was to go directly to Chloe’s room and get her. If we do that, beta Gideon is going to respond to us. "Your idea, Aurora, is a good one. However we will not let you go to fight this alone. That could be dangerous. The
Chapter 103Aurora's POV. Just as Declan and Arthur were shapeshifting to attack, Carter had already left the room to go find beta Gideon. I hope that he gets to him and gives him exactly what he deserves. This was the point where we needed to make them pay for everything they have done to us and to our Pack. As Declan and Arthur were fighting at the door, I slowly passed beside them making sure not to get into their way or to disrupt them. I needed to go get Chloe. She could be on the run because I knew that she must have gotten an alert with regards to all what was already happening outside and especially at her door. The moment I made it to her door, I saw her standing in the middle of the room with a shocked expression on her face or rather a confused expression on her face.With a half smile on mine, I slowly strode inside. "So, tell me, what did you think? Oh… let me guess. You think you're going to run away from all this. Sadly enough, this is going to be the end for you
Chapter 104Carter's POV. "You really have some guts, little one. After I gave you the opportunity to choose between living and death, you threw that away and rather used it to fight me. For that, I'm going to give you exactly what you deserve.” Beta Gideon threatened, the moment I arrived at the Great Hall. He then took a few steps towards me. Those words he just said were never going to get to me. He deserved this and he was going to get it. "I told you a day like this was going to come, you thought I was kidding. What were you thinking when you ripped my father's heart out of his chest right in front of me? You prevented me and my brother from helping him. You ordered your rogues to hold us down. You watched in pure joy and happiness how he fell down and died right in front of you. Not only that, you had him poisoned before ripping his heart out. I am going to make you pay for everything that you have ever done to my family. I am going to make your daughter watch me kil
THE END.NARRATOR'S POV.SEVEN YEARS LATER.“Kol, Hardin, I don't think this is a great idea, let's just go back home.” Melissa, the youngest and only girl among the three children cried, but the guys paid no heed to her.“Come on Lisa, don't be scared.” Hardin, who was the oldest and the son of Carter and Aurora, urged her. “I promise nothing will happen to you, I will protect you.”“Yes.” Kol added. “We will protect you. You are our princess, remember?” Kol asked and Melissa quickly nodded her head.Kol was Arthur’s son and Melissa was Declan’s daughter.Hardin, the oldest was seven years old, Kol was six and Melissa was four. The two guys adored Melissa.“Good. So take my hand and let me guide you down.” Melissa, despite the fear gripping her little heart, stretched her hand forward to Hardin, who took it and carefully led the way down the steep road that led to the little river which was their destination.Carter and Arthur had brought the little guys to the river a few days ago
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-THREE.ARTHUR’S POV.When Aurora first told me that she was going to try to talk Carter into the merging Royal High, I tried to discourage her from doing so because I thought she was only going to provoke him. I mean, the guy are up in a Royal household and he has always been treated special all his life. Telling him people like him had equal rights with other ordinary pack members was going to sting his heart and who knows what he might do, but I guess I was wrong. Aurora made the suggestion and he welcomed it which further proved his wiseness as a true Alpha.Today was the inauguration party of the new merged Shadow High School and I was elated to attend and see rich split kids be put in their places.Most leaders opposed the merge, but Alpha Carter paid no heed to this because he knew that was the right thing to do.The ceremony is taking place in the school hall and I am one of the people seated at the high table.Who would have thought I would be a
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-TWO.AURORA’S POV.News of my pregnancy spread like wildfire. The entire pack was in immense joy when they found out that their Future alpha was already on the way. I have never received so many gifts in my entire life. Every pack member sent at least a gift for the heir I was carrying.It's been a few months now and everything is going on smoothly. My pregnancy journey is amazing, exhausting and annoying.Amazing in the sense that everyone treats me so nicely wherever I go. They have all totally forgotten about the fact that I used to be a mere omega and a low life especially after Carter cleared my father’s name. It feels really good to be treated nicely by others.It is exhausting because I'm getting heavier as the days go by. Werewolf pregnancies last a much less shorter term because pups develop faster than humans, so at two months, I already have a huge bump and I will be going birth soon.And lastly, it is annoying because Carter won’t let me do a
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-ONE.AURORA’S POV.“Declan and Arthur are such lucky guys. Their mates are so pretty!” Aurora gushes once we get into our bedroom. Since I'm the last to get in, I close the door behind me and walk over to her.“That would mean I'm the luckiest of them all.” I pull her into arms and she looks at me, smiling.“And, why do you say so?”“Because you, my mate, are the most beautiful woman to ever Grace this earth.” I compliment from the depth of my heart.She blushes hard. Her cheeks turn tomato red and she buries her face into my chest to hide the shyness on her face.“Stop it!” She mumbles under her breath and I laugh at her.“You still get shy every time I give you a compliment. That’s cute to watch.“Oh you go away!” She pushes my chest and escapes from my hold. I watch in silence as she sits on the plays with her fingers.“Things are moving better than I expected them to move.” I approach the bed and perch by her side. She looks up at me, curiosity fille
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY.CARTER’S POV.The moment I stretch my hand to knock on my room door, my phone rings in my pocket. Bloody hell! This is like the one thousandth phone call I'm receiving today. I quickly withdrew my hand and fish the phone out of my pocket. Arthur’s name flashes on the caller ID and I furrow my brows.He hardly calls me after work hours. I wonder what’s wrong.I answer the call and press the phone on my ear, holding it with my left hand while I knock on the door with my right.“Hello, Arthur.” I greet.“Alpha Carter.” He calls and I do an eye roll. I have asked several times to quit addressing me as Alpha Carter and just call me Carter, but he just won’t listen.“Yes, Beta Arthur.” I address him as such so as to irritate him. He hates it when I call him that. He lets out a heavy sigh which makes me understand that he doesn’t want to have this argument with me. What he has to say must be very important for him to dismiss this chance of argument. Arthur is
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-NINE.ARTHURS'S POV.My life has changed.A few months ago, I used to be one of the outcasts of the pack. A low life, but today, here lam, living in the castle and helping out with pack activities, I can only be grateful to Aurora for paving the way to my success. If I didn't come to fight Alpha Carter that night, I would have been locked up in the dungeon and I would not be here, doing something more useful with my life. I am truly grateful to her.Every time I remember that I used to have a crush on her, I hit myself hard. I can't believe I had asked her to run away with me. That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever done in my entire life.Trying to convince someone else's mate to flee with me.Carter and Aurora started on a very bad foot. They hated each other and Carter treated her really poorly, but right now, they are inseparable. They are not only the best lovers, but they are the best Alpha and Luna. The pack is doing very well because of how
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-EIGHT.DECLAN'S POV.I have been on an emotional roller coaster for the past months. Right now, I don't even know what I'm feeling. My father was killed by the evil Beta Gideon, my brother almost forced to marry Chloe who is now of late as well. I was locked up in the dungeon for a week with barely any food or water. I thought I was going to die until my brother came and saved me and everyone else in the cell, including his mate.Now that he has taken over as he should, the pack is at peace and everything is going on smoothly as they should. I'm happy that he is leading the pack the way our father would have wanted him to, but I'm sad because our father is no longer here with us.It's true that we only miss what we have when we lose it.When my father was alive, the last thing I did was spend time with him. I was always in my space, doing my own thing. I used to tum down every guting he proposed, but right now, I wish he was here to do all those things.
Chapter 128Aurora's POV.Carter had been all over the place, for the party that was to hold tomorrow It has been a few days since he took me to that hill for a picnic. I'm glad he did.I neve knew I needed that, till I made my way up there. The gentle gust of wind that kept blowing over the tree that we were underneath it, was something else. I never knew such a place existed in the Shadow pack.It was more than beautiful. Well, I don't even want to talk about what happened after I pressed my lips against his.We literally went naked on top of that hill.It was a crazy but rare feeling. Something I would like to experience again and again. Oh, I almost forgot that, I had to pay doctor Savanna a visit. I had promised to go see her, after I saw some changes in my body.However, Carter had come up with his whole picnic thing, which I couldn't deny him.I enjoyed every bit of it.Carter, Declan and Arthur had left early in the morning; to complete the preparations for tomorrow.
Chapter 127Carter’s POV.The days have slowly passed by, and I am so happy for the new development. Everything was going on smoothly, like nothing had happened before. Still, I’m happy with the way that things were moving. At least this shows that there was some hope for us and to every other member in this pack. I was going to do my best to make sure that everyone is fine and they have nothing to worry about. My father is dead and automatically I become the new alpha, which means that the life of every member in this pack is in my hands and I need to protect them with everything that I have. Aside from that, today was the day I am going to take Aurora to the surprise I have been planning all along. No one knew about this. It was just me and my wolf and that of Auroras too, because I know that laden must be communicating with her and eventually he must have told her everything, which was OK by me. However, I have told him that none of these should get to Aurora. It
