Felix's p.o.vI stood at the door entrance looking at Ian who stood between Neo and Blade."Aren't you going to let us in?" He asked seriously."What the fuck Ian." I said in a whisper."What?" He asked loudly."Did I ask you to bring the whole fucking pack at my doorstep?" I asked on top of my voice."Don't be dramatic Samantha, these are my buddies not my pack. If I wanted to bring my whole pack here, I would have come with Amelia, Logan, Toni....""I get it!" I exclaimed then looked at Neo who had a damn smirk on his face."Good to see you Felix." He said with a wave.I ignored him and looked at Blade seriously."Did Ian force you to come along?" I asked him."Me, no way, I came because I wanted to. We were all having a drink when you called. We all heard your conversation and decided to join in wherever you are going." He answered."Did you put me on fucking loud speaker!" I asked Ian on top of my voice."Ah, fuck off." He spat then pushed me from the door as I stumbled a bit.He
Felix's p.o.vI walked out of the portal with Ian and found everyone waiting for us.Looking ahead, I could see the huge vampire castle where the elders resided and a lot of houses surrounding it where most vampires stayed.Going past them all without being noticed was going to be impossible."What's the plan?" Ian asked seriously."Yeah I too was about to ask. Because there is no way we are going to walk past all those houses unnoticed." Uncle said."Well that's why you have me." Lee answered proudly."Can your spells really help?" I asked in concern."Just so you know Felix, I left my family behind so I could become stronger. I know all sorts of magic, be it pure or dark." He answered then raised his left hand moving it to his right side in a wave motion while muttering a few words in an unknown language.We all stood watching him carefully. Once he was done, he dropped his hand and smirked."Let's go. The spell will make us all invisible in their sight. Only when we walk into your
Ian's p.o.v"Then you die." Golden screamed and moved. In a split second she was in front of Felix grabbing her by the neck. I was about to attack her when Felix moved across the room in a flash and slammed her against the wall, sinking her teeth in her neck.His father was about to move when I quickly jumped, turning into my wolf in mid air and stood in front of him, growling loudly in warning.Lee rushed to the door and placed his hand there."I'm sealing this damn room. You guys, tear these sons of bitches down." He instructed as a shield began to rise from the ground."I don't want to do this, but you leave me no choice." Jordan said then raised his hand to strike with his claws.Before I could dodge his attack, the twins pounced on him in their wolf form, ripping him into pieces while he screamed out in pain.I turned into my human form and stood watching in shock.What the hell was really going on?. weren't they elders!. Why were they taken down so easily?.In my mind I hoped f
Lee's p.o.v"Felix!. Felix." I called as I quickly rushed towards her. She was walking quickly while crying loudly.I stopped moving and sighed heavily. It was a matter of time till all the vampires knew where we were.I needed to set a portal trap right under her feet so she could teleport back home.I knelt down and touched the ground, whispering a spell over and over again. When a spark lighted up, it quickly moved in a straight line hitting her feet. She was about to take another step when the Portal opened beneath her, pulling her in and closing."What have you done to her?" Ian asked when he approached me."I sent her home." I answered, then grabbed his hand and rushed back into the palace. I could sense some vampires approaching us. "I think they know that they have intruders in their territory." I whispered when we went upstairs together."I don't care about them, all I care about is Samantha." He responded when we reached the door .We walked in and found the twins standing
Amelia's p.o.v"Is that so?" I asked on the phone with a smile while I walked back and forth in the bedroom."I felt so embarrassed over how I acted. Did I seem desperate?" Whitney asked seriously."What, no way. Whitney you are an Alpha, the need to mark and make him yours overwhelmed you that's why you went ahead and marked him first." I answered."I know Amelia, but did you not hear the part when I pushed him down and began moving my hips while licking his neck!" She exclaimed."Whitney I heard and honestly I think he must have enjoyed it." I answered honestly.An hour had gone by and she still was asking the same things."No Amelia, the look on his face was that of shock. He didn't expect me to do that to him." She whispered softly.I moved to the bed and sat down comfortably."I think you are overthinking. Uncle seems to be a very kind and understanding person who can never get upset over something like that. You are his mate and the love of his life, you doing all that to him sh
Leomord's p.o.vI stood looking at the door to the cottage sadly.What was I going to tell Whitney if she was to ask me how I went?. I didn't want her to feel sad or know that the twins were with me. Although we now trusted August, it wasn't a good idea leaving him alone to manage everything. The territory was too big and the members there were at times stubborn as hell. I was just hoping she wasn't going to ask a thing. After Ian had gone, Lee created two portals for us. One for the twins that led straight to the territory and another one for me that led here to the cottage.There was nothing left to say or do, and what was done couldn't be undone.The door opened and Whitney came out running.I happily embraced her when she ran into my arms."Leo." She whispered softly."I'm back." I said then rested my head against hers.It felt so damn good to have her in my arms again. She looked at me without a word for a few seconds then her smile vanished."You feel sad." She said Softly wh
Felix's p.o.v"Here." Chase whispered while extending his hand towards me which had a small cut on it.For the past few days he tried to make me feed but I refused.Despite treating him coldly he still came back to clean my room and look after me.Although I didn't speak to him, he bathed me, dressed me up and fixed my hair.I felt bad doing that to him but I was very shocked, sad and depressed since my parents death. I only wished they could have talked to me about everything or laughed with me one last time.I wasn't mad at Ian for what he did because that's what they wanted. To die.I didn't know how to mourn them besides keeping quiet and crying my eyes out whenever I thought of them."You won't drink again today right?" He asked softly then sighed heavily."Anyway, next week I won't be around." He whispered then leaned in and brushed a strand of my hair back."I'll be going back home." He said as I frowned."Remember what I told you that time?. You and I are bonded together. So y
Ian's p.o.v "How do I look?" I asked Amelia seriously while I drove. "Perfectly handsome." She answered, then moved my hand to her lips and kissed it lightly. A few months that went by I made sure to call Samantha every week to check up on her. Even when she told me she was doing fine I was still concerned. In order to prove to me that she was back to her usual self and very happy, she invited me, Blade and Neo to her place. I decided to go with Amelia and that's exactly what the guys did too. They decided to go with their mates. Logan and Nana were the ones looking after the pack on our behalf until we returned. I glanced at Amelia and saw her looking at her phone in concern. "Is it my mother?" I asked softly. "Yes. She was reminding me to keep myself warm because it would be cold in the evening." She answered. Now that Amelia was close to delivering, my mother was even more concerned and nagging. Although it was annoying, I was happy that she cared so much about her. "She
Kyle's POV "So, are you doing okay?" I asked Uncle August on the phone."Yes, my mate is doing much better as well," he answered simply."I'm glad," I said as I stretched myself on the couch."So, you left your pup and went to have fun?" he asked as I rolled my eyes."You are making it sound terrible, Uncle," I pointed out."Well, your pup is only six months old, and you are already out having fun with your mate," he said as I frowned."My mother was the one who encouraged us to come here. Moreover, it was a promise we made at Lui's ceremony," I answered coldly."Oh, so Amelia is looking after the pup?" he asked in a relieved tone."Of course she is. She and Dad were very happy when they knew of our plans. I kind of feel like they want to make another sibling," I answered as he laughed loudly."No way, they are just happy to be taking care of their grandpup," he said, making me smile.After the birth of my pup, they were very supportive in almost everything. My mother was very close
Kyle's POV "Aren't you going in?" Father asked as I stood outside the ward with a rapidly beating heart.I had no idea why my dad, Ian, had given my father, Axel, control, but I felt grateful. Perhaps it was because Father always knew what to say in the moment and at the right time."I feel cold feet, Father," I whispered honestly.He smirked and then moved his hand to my head, ruffling my hair gently and playfully."Son, you just have to go in; she is waiting for you," he said as I looked at him and then smiled."Always remember, we are the strongholds of our mates as they are for us. You being there for her right now will be heartwarming and ease the tension and worries she might have," he said softly."Thank you, Father," I whispered to him and then slowly grabbed the door handle and pushed it open.When Yuki came into view, I quickly went in and went to her side, embracing her with a warm smile.All the emotions I thought I couldn't feel in that moment came crashing down on me: h
Kyle's POV "Son, calm down," my dad said softly.I glared at him, then shifted my gaze to the side.How could he even ask me to calm down when my mate was struggling in the labor ward to give birth?"Dad, you don't get how I feel right now, so don't tell me to calm down," I answered seriously."You really think I don't understand? I felt that way twice when you and your sister were being born," he said, then moved his hand to my shoulder.I looked at him sadly and rubbed my forehead with my fingers."Wasn't I supposed to be in there?" I asked while looking at the labor ward."Yes, but your mother is right there by her side," he answered.I had been so focused on the pack documents the past few weeks that I paid less attention to Yuki.When the news of her going into labor reached me, I panicked and dropped everything I was doing.And right now, I was feeling so guilty that I wasn't by her side when she needed me the most.I had been standing outside for what felt like forever, and eac
Mariana's POV I sat looking at Roxanne's little pup as I clenched my hands into fists.He was so innocent, yet I knew he would grow up to be the very thing I despised the most because of the blood flowing through his veins.His mother was an Alpha Queen, while his father was a very powerful hybrid. The chances of him becoming any of his father's breed were high, but his chances of becoming an Alpha King were even higher.Would killing him in secret be a bad thing?I quickly averted my eyes when the pup smiled at me.He sat playing with a sword toy, and a powerful witch stood close to the door's entrance, watching his every movement."Excuse me, Miss Alpha Queen. Why do you look at the young master like that?" she asked seriously.Damn it, was it so obvious that I was thinking badly of him?I didn't want anyone to know or find out what my exact thoughts were, at least not now. If I was going to kill the little pup, I had to do it discreetly."You must not have heard the news from Rox
August's POV "So?" I asked Kyle on the phone."I called Garren yesterday, and he said Mariana is doing okay, although she looked very afraid and conflicted when she met the other members of his territory," he answered."And the Alpha king's mate?" I asked."She decided to stay in Lui's pack because she felt free and safe there," he replied."I'm sorry, Uncle August, but why did you leave like that without a word? You missed out on a lot," he asked.I slowly turned in my seat behind my desk and looked at Tanya, who was sleeping on the bed. I could still see a light shade of red under her lashes.I had never seen her cry so much before. She refused to eat most of the time or talk to me as much as she used to.I was trying my very best to comfort her, yet it did nothing; I was running out of options."Something bad happened, and I didn't want to inform anyone. We had to leave immediately because it involved my mate, and she asked that of me," I answered and then stood up from my seat."
Lui's POV "Are you okay?" I asked Akira with concern."Yes, how could I not be after the exciting day we have had?" she answered playfully.These past few years have brought us closer than we already were. Not only did we share a mark, but we also shared an amazing, mature bond.She was more open with me, and I got to see a side of her that I never expected. She was naughty in bed and funny whenever I felt down or needed cheering up. She was also very respectful, kind, and mindful.I laughed softly and then wrapped my arm around her shoulders, pulling her into my embrace.We were standing all alone in the living room.After that talk, Dad and Mom asked Mariana to follow them so she could meet her late brother's mate, while the twins decided to get rid of the body.Uncle Alec went on to invite Alpha Ian and his family to join him in the dining hall, while we decided to remain behind for a bit and talk."I'm just very happy that everyone is safe," I said honestly."Me too," she answer
Tanya's POV "Is it usually like this?" I asked August seriously."What do you mean?" he asked back with a chuckle."You know, like some stranger coming into this territory and threatening them all," I answered as he shrugged."Well, what can I say? Our kind are so full of dominance that they tend to have fun ambushing weaker packs sometimes," he said, then looked at my father, who was quietly standing opposite us."Is everything okay with him?" he mind-linked me."I think he is a bit shaken by what happened," I answered through the mind-link and then moved closer to him."Dad, are you okay?" I asked seriously."Yeah, it's just that when I heard that heartwarming talk in the living room, I came to realize how terrible holding secrets is," he answered as I smiled."That's why I have none," I replied softly."Can I talk to you for a second, as in alone?" he asked.I frowned and then quickly shook my head."No, whatever you have to say, you can say it in front of my man," I answered seri
Mariana's POVI stood still, tears running down my face and a beating heart in my hand."I'm sorry," my wolf whispered, then pulled back as I slowly looked down at my brother's dead body.I dropped the heart with a trembling hand and screamed as I fell to my knees in a panic, moving my hand to cover the hole in his chest."No, Diaz, no," I cried as I moved my other bloody hand to his face."You can't die, please, you can't die! Why, oh goddess, why?" I sobbed."Wake up and look at me! Please, look at me! I swear I will never get angry again," I cried at the top of my voice.I was very upset over his words, and for a second, I wished him dead. But how was I to know that my wolf would act upon this wish of mine, as cruel as it was?Every time I wished for something within her reach and power, she did exactly that. Then I felt so happy because she protected me, even when it was against my will!But how could she hurt our only brother like he was nothing? "Mariana," Amelia called as she
Diaz's POV"What exactly do you want to hear from me?" I asked lazily."Everything," Amelia answered strongly.I rolled my eyes and then looked at Ian coldly."There is no need to mind-link each other, so I'll be frank, Amelia," I said seriously."Please," she whispered."Your mate is a thorn in my side," I said.Twin Delta warriors were about to move when Ian raised his hand, and they stopped in their tracks."I'm glad because you will soon bleed from my fists," he answered with a smirk."Ian, I would like to give you that satisfaction, but I won't, because I am not here to seriously fight," I said honestly."And yes, most of you in this room are a nuisance, and most of you are a pest to us. But then there are those like her," I pointed at the ancient witch and then moved my hand to the female dragon."Who we consider useful and very powerful," I said, then sat down."I can see you hate me," I pointed out the obvious."You think? They want you dead," Amelia answered."Fair enough, bu
