Ian's p.o.vI stood in front of our pack's previous slaves, listening to their murmurs and whispers.At first when I ordered the twins to bring them to where I was, they looked stunned and full of questions, but once I growled at them in warning, they quickly did as I had said. When I met the females, they all kept quiet and feared to speak.Bringing out Amelia was a bad move and things would only get worse because she was an Alpha queen and they had once witnessed her full strength.I had to think fast and that's why I called out Toni to stand by my side. She was hesitant at first but soon became confident and encouraged everyone to speak out."Have any of my warriors been good to you?. Did anyone hit or talk down on you while I was away?" I asked in concern.A tall blond she-wolf stepped forward and shook her head."No Alpha, to be honest. Yesterday when the twins came to the demolished wings and found me carrying a heavy load, they reluctantly offered me their help." She said serio
Whitney's p.o.vI looked at my mate who was slowly walking besides me looking so deep in thoughts.For two days we had been traveling in both our wolf and human form. He rarely talked to me and whenever we hunted for something to eat or picked fruits in the forest, he let me eat first. Although we were very close to my territory I was still bothered by his actions. Was he doing all that because I was an Alpha?. Was he giving me unnecessary respect because my rank was higher than his?. Either way I hated it!.He glanced at me for a second then smiled while he fixed his large leather bag pack which he was carrying.According to him, there were a few needed items and clothes that we had to change into every time we shifted back into our human form."Mate." I called softly then stopped moving.He immediately stopped and grabbed my hands looking at me from head to toe."What's wrong?. Are you tired or hungry?" He asked in concern.I shook my head then dropped my hands from his."Do you pe
Leomord's p.o.v"Please watch your step, we are about to cross our territory's border." She warned calmly.My hand was linked to hers and I was giving her a few glances while smiling, I wanted to let her know I was okay."Is there a trap set right outside the territory's border?" I asked curiously."Not a trap, it's actually an alerting spell according to the deceased Alpha king." She answered."What do you mean by that?" I asked seriously."Well I don't know everything, but I once heard the Alpha king say. "Beyond our borders to the left lived a cunning witch." He said they were on bad terms because she was banished from his territory. Once the Alpha king's split, they felt they no longer needed her and so no one took her in." She answered as I stopped walking."Wait, do you mean to say that the witch served the Alpha kings?" I asked loudly."According to the deceased Alpha king, yes she did because she was very powerful. But then she was cunning, greedy and dwelt too much in black m
Neo's p.o.v"Did you kill the bastard?" Ian asked calmly in his office."You are three days late for that question." I answered calmly then walked to the couch and sat down."To be honest I knew you were going to kill him." He said then relaxed in his seat."More like rip his throat open. Toni was in shock and very scared after witnessing how brutal Vision and I were, she ran back into the pack house and since then she's been avoiding us." I answered softly then brushed my hand through my hair."I didn't think much about it because I was very angry at how that fucker treated her. All I wanted was to kill and that's exactly what I did. But now that my mate is avoiding me, I have realized that I made a bad move." I said sadly."Brother, I don't want to lie to you. If I was in the exact situation, I would have ripped that bastard into pieces without a care." He said then stood up and walked to the window to look out."Are you going to talk to her or apologize?. You might have triggered h
Toni's p.o.v"Go back!" My wolf growled at me."No." I spat as I walked towards the pack's border."He said it was a misunderstanding." She growled louder.I moved my hand and wiped away my tears with laughter."Yeah right. When are you going to get it into your thick skull that he doesn't want us?" I asked loudly."I do." He screamed from behind.I stood in my tracks then turned to face him as he ran towards us."See." My wolf yelped happily."Him running after us means nothing." I said silently then turned back and continued to walk.I was leaving the pack with or without the Alpha's approval. I wasn't going to sit around and wait for the inevitable to happen. She was and is the love of his life, that's why he didn't want to be with me, all those excuses were just a cover of how he truly felt."Hey!" He screamed when he grabbed my wrist."Let go." I said angrily then looked at him."I'm sorry." He whispered as I looked at him quietly for a minute."You are sorry?" I asked in disbeli
Whitney's p.o.vThe past few days were a bit awkward and distant for us. I was happy that my mate was honest and open with me but also sad over knowing he had taken a few females to bed."Stop it!. He was honest and apologetic over his past actions." Sia growled furiously."I know." I whispered softly.I looked up when Leo covered me with his coat."It's cold." He whispered while he sat down next to me on a huge rock.Since that day he had opened up to me, he was no longer asking me questions. He was giving me my needed space. A few times I caught him staring at me with a very sad expression on his face and most times we ate in silence."I'm sorry." He whispered softly.Everyday he made it his duty to apologize without fail and I brushed him off."I know I have no right to touch you as of now, but I'm dying to. Ever since you stopped looking my way or talking to me much, my wolf and I have been lonely." He said in a low tone."Tell him I understand and forgive him." Sia said seriousl
Leomord's p.o.v"Wait up, kid wait!" I exclaimed as I chased after her. She was fast in movements and she didn't even look back once.She quickly rushed into a hut ahead and closed the wooden door.I stood still in my tracks when I picked up a foul scent."Did you lose her?" Whitney asked, immediately after she had reached where I was."No, she ran into that small hut ahead." I answered."Okay, let's wait for her to come ......Wait What's that smell?" She asked loudly."You smell it too right?" I asked back."Yes." She answered and grabbed my hand."What?" I asked."Don't go any further." She whispered softly."Why?" I asked, feeling a little confused."I think there is a death spell in front of us which kills any living thing when one approaches the hut. Only she can cross." She answered.I raised a brow and looked at her seriously."And how do you know that?" I asked curiously."Because I am able to detect any hidden dark energy. I'm sure you too have a skill that no one has. Each a
Lexi's p.o.vI looked at the dress silently then smiled happily. It was beautiful and a perfect fit . This was the first time I was wearing such a pretty dress and it was all because of that woman. I still didn't trust her but unlike the others, she didn't try to force her way into the hut to capture me.Although the lethal spell was still activated, it was slowly getting weak. I needed to perform another ritual soon to lift it up, despite it taking most of my energy and making me unconscious.I groaned softly then walked to the mat and sat down."I still feel so lonely." I whispered to myself then lay down sadly.Ever since I could remember my mother was always cold and harsh to me. I went through a lot of rituals and tests so I could become strong. According to her, I was as good as dead if I couldn't sum up how strong she was. There were times she acted crazy and wanted to kill or sacrifice me at the altar of rituals but I survived it all luckily. I was hit whenever she was in a
Kyle's POV It felt so unreal when my father called Larson and me into his office to tell us how we had to prepare ourselves because tomorrow the ceremony was going to take place.All we could do was look at each other and then at him in excitement. We were also nervous about everything."How are you feeling?" Larson asked me seriously.We were in the training field exercising."A little of everything. You know, scared, nervous, excited, and happy," I answered simply."What about you? How do you feel?" I asked."I feel so nervous and scared, but also excited because I have always looked forward to standing by your side when you take over as Alpha," he answered."I'm glad," I said honestly."Larson and Kyle, go to the border right now," my father's command came through the pack's mind link."Gosh, what now?" I whispered and then began to walk to the border with Larson right by my side."Maybe we are receiving other visitors," he said."Like who? Every member of our family is right in t
Ian's POV"Are you sure they aren't close by?" I asked Neo."I am positive, Ian. Tamara, Lexi, and Yuki went to give Tanya a tour of our pack. As for Blade, Larson and Kyle, they went to help Nana and Sharon with something," he answered."Okay," I whispered, then cleared my throat and looked at everyone seriously."I'm glad to have you all here today, and I'm also kind of proud of you, August, for choosing your mate instead of some women who took you out of your misery," I said, then laughed softly when he rolled his eyes."The main reason I asked most of you to come over wasn't only because of August, but because of my son and nephew," I said, and then moved forward."I have wanted to take a step away from everything and finally step back from being an active Alpha for a few years now. Unfortunately, Amelia was against it because she knew Kyle wasn't ready. That's why we sent him to the training camp," I said seriously."But now Amelia and I truly believe he is ready. We have also se
August's POV "Are you okay?" Tanya asked seriously.I wasn't okay in any way, but I wasn't going to tell her that.I was already nervous while driving, but now that we were here, I felt like I had made a wrong decision.I could see the twins laughing and mocking Tanya, and us fighting because of that. I could also see Felix making a lame comment about how I went for the daughter after the mother failed to make me stay."I am fine," I answered and then frowned when I looked at the entrance.Something was definitely wrong.Not only did we cross Ian's pack, but we were parked close to the pack house, yet no one was there to welcome us. Not even the warriors, when it was so obvious that Ian knew I had crossed his border."Shall we go and knock?" she asked."Yes," I answered and then got out and went to open the door for her."Thank you," she said softly when she stepped out."Don't mention it," I answered and then shut the door."Do I look okay?" she asked in a low tone.I looked at her
Felix's POV"Remind me again, why didn't we use the portal?" I asked Chase, who was driving the car."I told you already, Sammy. Lee and Jeannie will be running a little late," he answered and then gave me a warm smile."They just had to go and visit them; how annoying," I muttered."Family is never annoying," he said in a low tone, then focused on the road.He was right; family was everything, but I was still annoyed that Lee chose to go and visit his family with Jeannie right after Ian had told us about his plans for Kyle and Larson's succession.“Screw him,” I whispered softly."Hey, sweetheart, we have reached," he informed me simply.I looked at the pack house that was visible from afar after we had crossed the border, then sighed.I was really looking forward to seeing my baby girl more than anyone. Besides that, I missed Ian and Amelia a lot, but I wasn't going to openly admit it until they said it first."Remember what we talked about? No more showing disgust towards Larson. W
Kyle's POV "You sound grumpy," Lui said to me on the phone."Maybe it's because your sister hasn't picked up any of my calls. I miss her a lot, and I think you understand how I feel. Or maybe it's because Larson can't stop rubbing it in my face how happy he is," I answered seriously.Yesterday, when he went back with Tamara, I did want them to have a good time together.But when they came back laughing and walking hand in hand, I envied them. I wished Yuki could be here with me. I felt so lonely, and so did Lionel."I told you how she was busy helping Mom out with something. When she is free, I will tell her to call you," he answered."Well, we can't all feel the same way, can we?" I muttered."Dude, she does love you a lot; she is just very busy. Also, is that how a soon-to-be Alpha acts and reacts? Have more dignity and faith in everything and everyone," he said loudly."Says the guy who can't take his mate to that magical place we were," I answered in a mocking tone."How did you
Larson's POV "Do you like the smell?" Tamara asked with a smile.I inhaled deeply and then nodded."I like it," I answered simply.We were in a store looking at perfumes and trying to see which one suited me the most. Although she looked serious whenever she didn't like a scent, she seemed to have a lot of fun.My plan was to go out to eat, but when she saw the store, she asked me to pull over, and I couldn't say no."Although I love this a lot, let me check out that purple one at the far end of the shelf," she said and then went to grab it.I turned and looked at the jewelry display that was close to the entrance. Since we walked in, my eyes had been set on a beautiful blue diamond necklace and how amazing it would look if she wore it."She would love it," my wolf said, making me chuckle."I don't think so. Since we walked in, she didn't even spare a glance at the jewelry," I answered."Maybe she is being considerate of us," he said seriously."Please, we’ve been getting a monthly
Dusk's POV "Maybe a little rest will do," my father said with concern."I don't need rest right now, Father. I want to be stronger and better," I answered seriously."You will with time, but all I am asking you to do right now is rest," he said.I looked at him coldly and then nodded."Fine, I will rest," I answered and then went to sit on a beach that was under a huge tree.The training field was wide and a large area that most warriors used. But there was a certain side that was considered a resting place. Only a few warriors came there to rest, and we figured it would be a good place to use for my training.I hated being watched, and my father knew that. That's why I was relieved when he chose this place."You stay here; I'll be right back. Oh, and I'll ask your sister to bring you some cold water," he said and then walked away.Micah was my cousin, but because my father took her as a daughter, she became my sister.I paid no mind to that because I loved having her as a sister. I
Tamara's POV"Making a speech like that is a little too much," I said seriously in Larson's room.When he called my phone and asked me to come over, I didn't know what to expect, so I put on my best outfit and applied light makeup to my face.As soon as I reached his door, he opened it, grabbed my hand, pulled me in, and shut the door behind us.He was so excited that he couldn't wait for me to sit down when he told me how he and Kyle were soon going to be the acting Beta and Alpha.I was sincerely happy and proud; that's why I hugged him tightly and told him exactly how I was feeling.When I pulled back and sat down, he began sharing a few speeches that he would say on the actual day and asking for my opinion.I told him the truth, and he went on to make a few adjustments to those I liked."Maybe I shouldn't do any of them, seeing how I have never heard anyone ever doing it before," he said in a dejected tone."What? No, you should. Just because no one has ever done it, it doesn't me
August's POV "Am I not doing anything wrong, am I?" I asked Ried as I looked at the tray of breakfast that I had prepared."You are actually being awfully considerate," he answered, making me smile."That's the least I can do for being a jerk to our mate," I replied, then grabbed the tray and nervously walked to the bedroom with it.I wanted what happened between us to happen so badly; that's why I was happy when Ried took the initiative.Now that we had been making love and just being in each other's embrace for the past few days, I was thinking of myself as a selfish bastard who wouldn't let her rest, yet I couldn't stop myself.When Ried decided to be the first one to embrace her, I immediately accepted and took a step back because he was what I was supposed to be to her, and that was an amazing mate. He deserved to mark her before I could even do it.He was so respectful, even when I took over and decided to spend my time with her in bed.I really was lucky to have him as a part
