Felix's p.o.vI dialed Lee's line with a trembling hand.I glanced at Aurora before stepping out of the room."Felix." Lee's voice answered.I moved the phone to my ear then sighed softly."You need to make ....""A portal to where you are right?. Chase called me a few minutes ago and Informed me about everything going on, give me a few hours to locate you. I also need to brew a herb that will make the poison stay dormant for as long as it can, my spells are amazing but they won't be of much help without the herb I have to brew." He answered."Look Lee, we don't have hours but an hour as of now." I said seriously."I'm sorry Felix, I can't make it in an hour. If you had said two hours It would have been possible. The herb I have to brew needs time." He answered as I furiously crushed the cell phone in my hand.What the fuck was I to tell the alpha Queen In there. "Sorry Aurora, my friend couldn't help you?"No, she would sink her venomous teeth in me.This was a h
Felix's p.o.v"Let me get this straight Chase. You are a fairy, who's older than you look?" I asked."Yes, to be specific I'm....way above thirty years." He answered as I laughed."You kidding me right?. Have you taken a fucking good look at yourself in the mirror?. You look like a fucking twenty-year-old." I spat."Right back at you Samantha, you look like a twenty-year-old when you are way older than that." He answered, making me cringe."Don't call me that." I warned, seriously. The damn name only reminded me of my parents who were freaks stuck on perfecting me and making use of what I was."Sorry." He muttered under his breath."It's fine, let's continue. You also said that me drinking your blood had its own effect, what did you mean by that." I asked seriously.He rubbed his forehead then dropped his hand."All fairy's blood to a vampire is like a sweet and nice addiction. It's not because I'm a virgin but because I'm a fairy that you enjoy sucking my blood.
Aurora's p.o.v Enough was enough and that's exactly how I felt. I put on my mask well for years not showing myself. I let them abuse Amelia and I acted weak and needy to blind her over our true strength and power. But this time I wasn't going to be the quiet she-wolf that everyone thought of. I walked out of the pack house and stood in front of the warriors who were slowly getting to their feet. They looked better and I was sure their strength had been restored. Many pack members were also outside whispering and chattering to one another. I looked at the Beta then at Sherry who quickly moved behind him. She truly was a coward but I cared less about her. "I am called Aurora. I am the Alpha Queen born from the royal castle of the moon-star pack and next heiress to the throne." I said strongly making sure my dominance was lanced through my voice. The murmurs and whispers instantly died. All I could see was fear and shock on their faces. "My human was in your midst trying to live a
Ian's p.o.v"And that's an order from your alpha queen." She said.I wanted to strangle her and tell her how her words meant nothing to me but I couldn't. For some reason I found myself submitting by bearing my neck to her."Good." She whispered then stood up."Axel is badly injured just like you were. He was the one taking most of your pain in order to sustain you. He won't be able to communicate with you for the time being until his full recovery." She said as fear washed all over me."Relax, he is just asleep." She whispered as I sighed in relief."Remember my words Ian because you wouldn't like to anger me would you?" She asked, then smiled.I faced the other side angrily when I heard a loud thud.I quickly looked back and saw her laying on the ground unconscious.I moved out of bed without a second thought and carried her in my arms carefully then slowly put her on the bed and pressed my hand on her chest."She's alive." I whispered in relief when I felt her hear
Amelia's p.o.vI woke up feeling well rested. My body was relaxed and my mind very calm.I frowned when I felt a hand pull me to a hard chest. In a second I turned and came face to face with Ian. He was asleep and he looked very handsome and innocent.I frowned deeper, feeling confused. The last thing I could remember was being in a panic state at Felix's house. I was very afraid and I couldn't stop the emotions I was going through. My wolf was way angry over Chase stopping us and she couldn't seem to calm down.Wait, she took over and pushed me into our subconscious."Hey, what did you do?" I asked my wolf silently."I am not hey, I am called Aurora." She responded."Did you bring us back to Ian's pack?" I asked after looking around and noticing that we were in Ian's pack. "Yes. Our mate was badly injured and in pain, I had to take over and find him. Right now he is still recovering and having us close to him is helping him a great deal." She responded."Is that
Neo's p.o.vAs we ran through the woods I had only one thing in mind, to lead my mate to safety. My legs were hurting and my chest was aching badly.For quite a long time we continued without stopping because we knew the warriors must have noticed our disappearance yesterday.Vision was quiet and refused to talk to me or help us in any way. Despite siding with our mate he had regret over his betrayal to our alpha, that's what was eating him up."I can't run anymore." Sherry said in a whining voice for the tenth time.She stopped in her tracks, making me do the same and look at her seriously."Why should I go through all this hell?" She asked as I frowned.What exactly did she mean by that? Didn't she want to be with me?"I don't understand." I said under my breath."What's there not to understand huh? I didn't sign up for this at all. My plan was to simply kill Ian and have you take the alpha's position, not us running around like some wanted fugitive!" She spat."Sherry, it seems you
Ian's p.o.v"Alpha." Blade called softly behind me while I walked back to my bedroom.I had to get the fuck out of that basement because it was hard to watch Neo crying like a little kid and Sherry screaming out in pain and begging him to take back his rejection. It was a mess that I didn't want to involve myself in."Alpha." He called again, this time a little louder.I stopped and turned to face him."I understand that our Beta did betray you for his mate, but we all know how most pack members of other packs act towards their mates. He was under an influence of love and submission to her that's why he did all that. Neo and I never saw eye to eye at times, but when it came to you he had no reason to question nor doubt you, he was even willing to give his life for you." He said as I raised a brow."So?. What the fuck do you want me to do?" I asked coldly."Please, allow me to go in search of a witch. He won't last long with the Otis he has consumed...., and t
Ian's p.o.vFor the first time in my life, my eyes were filled with tears.As seconds turned into minutes her words began to sink in slowly."I wasn't your father's actual mate and he knew that. Because of the curse, he couldn't find his true mate, and that frustrated him a lot. He was growing old and the curse was getting worse, it was driving him insane day by day and sadly he couldn't do a thing to stop it. Besides that, he was weighed down with another worry, and that was to produce an heir to his pack." She said then took a step closer. "You see, your father knew it was a matter of time before he would fall and leave his pack without a ruler, perhaps in the hands of his enemies. He had to have an heir from any she-wolf capable of respecting him and raising his pups well, that's where I came in. He never loved nor gave me his attention. Actually, never was there a day he wanted me for anything besides his release and duty." She said sadly then continued."I w
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
Diaz's POVWe sat in the living room as if we were animals in a zoo. They were all looking at us like we were crazy.Some decided to sit, while others chose to stand.We told our true story, yet they still had their doubts. Was it because we weren't telling them everything?"I don't like this," Mariana mind-linked me."Same, sister, but just hang in there. Our first plan was successful, and as we predicted, they had an ancient witch who could read minds, so we are safe," I mind-linked her back."Brother, is this truly worth the trouble?" she asked, still using our mind-link.I coldly glanced at her and then smiled. She quickly shifted her gaze from me and smiled back."I still feel like they are hiding something," Ian said loudly, getting everyone's attention.He was standing behind Amelia, who sat on the couch looking at us seriously.We knew Ian through stories we had heard, and when we finally met him, we recognized him just by the way he was overprotective towards our cousin. He a
Ian's POV Garren raised his hand but stopped when the Alpha Queen said some words in what sounded like Greek.We all looked at her like she was crazy.She continued to say words and then smiled innocently at us.I wanted to rip off her damn head because I felt something was wrong.I was surprised when Garren shifted back to his human form, clothes instantly appearing on his body. "Couldn't you have said that sooner?" he asked loudly, then turned and looked at Lexi."Thank you for the clothes," he said loudly, and then looked at us."Is he fucking insane? Giving his back to the enemies?" I asked through our pack's mind-link."Dad, Garren is never this careless. He knows what he is doing," Roxanne answered.I hated her judgment, but she was my little girl, and I chose to believe in her."You guys have to hear them out," he said as everyone looked at each other in disbelief."Garren, it seems you have grown soft over the years. Step aside; I'll take care of them," I said as I began to
THREE YEARS LATER Kyle's POV I stood next to my pregnant mate, smiling at Lui, who was waving on stage happily next to his Beta.After a few years, he was finally the Alpha. The ritual was successful, and his parents behind him looked so happy, just like his mate."I'm so proud of him," Tamara said cheerfully through our pack's mind-link.I looked behind and smiled when my eyes met my father's, who smiled back and gave a nod.He was standing next to my mother, and right behind him were Whitney's pack members, who were part of my family, along with Felix and her whole household.August, Tanya, his father-in-law, and a few friends of my father, whom he had met at the party in human territory—Alpha Glen, Sky, Sol, and Jace with their mates—stood further away.Having my whole family and a few pack warriors represent us and our respectable alliance that was going to soon take place filled my heart with peace.The past few years, Lui did his best, and his Beta was finally well-known in ot
