CHAPTER 24 INTERROGATIONFENRIS'S P.O.VI didn't want to resort to torture, but I wasn't above it either."Maybe we should bring in Cass." Uriah suggested as he walked away from the chained-up Lydia."You think we should involve magic?""It wouldn't hurt to try it.""Very well. I will mindlink her to come."Luckily, Cass has cast a spell to allow her to also be able to mindlink within the royal pack, just like wolves in the pack could do. Makes it convenient for when we need to get in contact with her quickly.I stepped into the interrogation room that held Lydia. Her father, Kirk, was chained three cells down from the interrogation room. Wolfbane and silver were being used to be able to control the wolf from being able to shift. As I walked in, Lydia's head popped up from the interrogation desk."Baby, please. I love you. I only did this because I wanted to be with you." She pleaded. But the softness in her voice or her batty eyes didn't work for me. It actually repulsed me. How did
CHAPTER 25 AWAKETEDDY'S P.O.VMy eyes fluttered open to the feeling of movement beneath my hand. I don't remember falling asleep, but I haven't slept much since the incident. Truth be told, I haven't spent much time outside of the hospital other than to shower and change. All my meals have been delivered to the hospital for me. I am sure Josie had been bored out of her mind having to sit with me in case I needed her. I tried telling her she could leave but she refused. My eyes went from my hand, which was holding onto Imagen's, then moved to her face. Her eyes were beginning to flutter open for the first time since the incident. I quickly pushed the nurse's button so I could tell them she was awake. Amoment later, I could feel the vibration of the door as it opened up. Imagen's eyes were fully open as she stared around the room confused."Good you're awake. Welcome back to the land of the living." The doctor said, trying to be funny. But it wasn't all that funny, truthfully.Imagen t
CHAPTER 26 WEDDING DAYTEDDY'S P.O.VI awoke to Imagen jumping onto my bed early the next morning. The doctor released her that night on the agreement that she would return for a follow-up appointment later in the week. She was just excited to be out of there and able to attend the royal wedding. She kept stating it was going to be a 'night to remember'. Whatever that means.I hardly slept last night with all the raging thoughts and the swarm of butterflies in my stomach. I was getting married to the most powerful man of our kind, in front of everyone. I didn't know if it was a dream come true or a nightmare, but either way, I was nervous.'Get up, we have a long day!' She wrote, but her face was what showed the excitement."Fine!" I exclaimed as dramatically as I could.The remainder of the morning went fairly quickly. Lilyanna showed up shortly after I was out of the shower with many assistants following behind. By 3 pm, I had my hair in a beautiful wedding style updo with flowers a
CHAPTER 27 CONSUMMATIONFENRIS'S P.O.VI hadn't been really social with Teddy most of the night, it was hard holding in my anger at all the stares from all the other men. I wanted to rip their skin from their faces from looking at what was mine. Instead, I used my eyes to show I would fuck them up if they even tried. That was until Liam walked over. He didn't care that I was staring daggers at him. He had lust in his eyes as he stared Teddy up and down. He desired her, which heated me more than anyone else did. Luckily, the DJ called last call, allowing me to break away from having to be near him. I was close to losing my cool with him checking her out. He had a girl at his side yet still wouldn't stop eyeing what was mine. I doubt Teddy even noticed. She was busy looking at where my hands were. But I noticed. We were frenemies. You know, keep your friends close but your enemies closer. It was like that. I didn't trust him, he was a liar and a terrible person, but he was an ally, one
CHAPTER 28 PLEASURETEDDY'S P.O.VOnce Elder Jackson was gone, we were back at it in no time. I wanted to try different things. Make him happy, sexually."What are you do -"I cut him off as I put my finger to his lips. My legs were straddling his body, as I kissed my way down south. I wanted to see if I could fit his huge cock deep into my mouth, like the porn-stars did."Cradle the balls, stroke the shaft, swallow the gravy." I repeated to myself the sentence I had once seen in a movie."Whaa?" He began to ask but quickly shut his mouth as I began to cradle his ball sack while gently stroking his shaft in the way I had seen the professionals do.I started out in a gentle stroking motion going up and down with one hand as the other cradled his balls, massaging them gently. Once his cock was at full attention, I put his tip in my mouth, wetting it before sliding his cock down my throat. My saliva lubricated it enough to continue stroking without friction in the same motion as my head
CHAPTER 29 STUDIESTEDDY'S P.O.VI was so surprised at how much time Fenris, and I had been able to spend together. Before the wedding, he was working away trying to get answers out of Alpha Kirk and his daughter Lydia. Kirk refused to speak no matter how many drastic measures they took. Once, his pack reached out to the elders about their Alpha visiting the kingdom and he didn't return, nor had they heard from him. The elders swooped in and released Kirk and Lydia right before the wedding. Unfortunately, everything had gone radio silent on their end. Fenris sent out his scouts to watch them. However, there was nothing suspicious, there were no movements going in or out, whatever they were planning was on hold for the time being. Either that, or they didn't succeed, so they stopped plotting all together. Fenris didn't accept that they had just stopped whatever they were planning, so he continued digging, trying to figure out what was going on. Although he wasn't keeping me in the loop
CHAPTER 30 UPDATEFENRIS'S P.O.VIt had been a month since my wedding. Amonth to see how she would be as the Queen. I had heard nothing but good things from the trainers in all areas. It took a while to break her out of her shell, but ultimately, they said she was not only good at retaining knowledge, but she was also very skillful at her combat skills. With combat and defense moves, you either got it or you don't. There was no in between. I was happy to hear she was taking to it all as quickly and as good as she was. The combat trainers I had assigned to her think that she would benefit more in a larger group now that they didn't have much else, they could teach her one one-on-one, but I wasn't ready for that yet.Then there was my mom, who spoke highly of everything she had managed to remember. My mom rarely spoke highly of anyone. But she stated that stuff she would have to look in a book to give the correct answer for. Teddy remembered off the top of her head, as if it was second
CHAPTER 31 TESTINGFENRIS'S P.O.VHer eyes widened when she realized I had been watching."Ready for you?" She asked questionably."For our one-on-one session."Her face paled at my request. She had been training for an hour now, and still had 30 minutes remaining of her combat training, to which I decided I would take over. I didn't have any more meetings, so why not?"Today?" She asked."Right now.""But what about Lamar?""He is dismissed for the day." I replied before diverting my eyes to our warrior and nodding for him to leave.Once he was gone, it was just Teddy and I remaining, alone."So where do we start?" She asked like it was her first time."I've seen you battle fiercely in your human form and have heard nothing but good things. So how about we start with training in your wolf form?""My wolf form?" She asked with a shaky breath."Yeah, it shouldn't be a problem, these rooms are big enough to accommodate the transformation of two wolves and be able to hold a one-on-one ba
CHAPTER 202: FAMILIAR STRANGERELIAS'S P.O.VAs I stared at the man claiming to be my father, a million thoughts raced through my mind. How was this possible? My father had been presumed dead for over two decades. Yet here he sat, looking at me with those golden eyes that mirrored my own."How did you find us?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady. "If your memories are gone, how did you know you came here?"Kingston, or rather, my father, hesitated before answering. "I can't explain it. It's like... something deep inside me just knew this was where I belonged. Even without my memories, my heart remembered the way home."His words stirred something in me, a longing I hadn't let myself feel in years. But I couldn't let my guard down yet. "You say you don't remember anything, but you recognized Uriah and me. How?""Fragments. Bits and pieces that don't quite fit together. Your faces are familiar, like echoes from a dream. I was hoping coming here would help me understand why."I exc
CHAPTER 201 I'M HOME UNKNOWN P.O.V 9 YEARS LATER It took me years. But years were more like days when you've been alive as long as I have been. But I succeeded. I found the person I needed most. Or at least I hoped they were the key to what I needed. "Now, do you remember what we have trained for?" "I do. I don't understand it. But I remember." They replied. "It is not something to be understood as long as you know the plan." "I know the plan." "Good. Now go." I said with a smile. "One last question. Are you sure it will work?" They asked. "Trust in the system. Play the cards right and you will not fail." They looked unsure of my words, but I knew that they would do just fine. All they had to do was play their role right. It was simple really. I worked too hard to locate them for them to fail me now. ELIAS'S P.O.V I sat in my window, staring up at the moon. The enticing feeling of the moon daring me to dream bigger. To be better. To do better.
CHAPTER 200 THE TIME HAS COMETEDDY'S P.O.V 13 YEARS LATER Tomorrow Elias would officially turn 16. Which meant that he would be getting his wolf. Most Alpha heirs didn't get to take over their position until the age of 25. However, under certain circumstances, such as the current Alpha of said pack passing before the heir turns 25, then they are permitted to take over when they receive their wolves at the age of 16. I know being 16 was considered a child in most religions. But as werewolves, it's believed that if you have your wolf then you can run a pack. I'm sure Elias was absolutely terrified right about now. Tomorrow night, he will be crowned the King. But before that, he had to get through his ceremonial crowning under the Red Moon. Which was why I chose to swoop by and check in to see how he was holding up before calling it a night. I softly tapped on the big oak door of Elias's bedroom. "Come in, Ma!" I casually strolled in. He was seated at the desk reading his book.
CHAPTER 199 A YEAR WITHOUT YOUTEDDY'S P.O.V 1 YEAR LATER I sat in my big windowsill as the sun rose in the sky, looking down at my journal. A therapeutic method that was introduced to me by Kennedy, my therapist. I wrote to Fenirs everyday. What he missed. So really I just wrote about anything that happened. In a sense, it made me feel like he wasn't missing out. Dear Fenirs , Can you believe it has already been an entire year since you've been gone? Oh, how the times have changed. I promise that you would be proud of the Queen I have become in your absence. Every decision that I have made this far, was made with the question of 'what would Fenirs do'? Would he agree with my decision? I know I've told you once before but I wanted to do a run down of all that has happened since you've been gone. Uriah stepped down as the Beta, choosing to be the top warrior instead. I insisted that it wasn't necessary, but I suppose that after some time, the guilt was too much for him to handl
CHAPTER 198 TIME TO LET HIM GOTEDDY'S P.O.V I kept racking my brain, trying to figure out what he must've seen that intrigued him. I pray to the high heavens above that it wasn't my son. But what else would pique an interest in such an old soul who's seen it all? "Did anyone see Josiah give Zola his blood?" I asked as soon as he had left with Sibil once I was finally able to come visit them in the infirmary. "No. It was like one minute she was sick and the next she was awake, alert, and happy." Novalee replied as she cuddled Zola closer to her chest. "So, should we give her his blood to be safe then?" "Let's save it. If she takes a turn for the worse at least we will have this to save her." I shook my head in understanding before handing over the vial of blood to Novalee. "Thank you so much. You have no idea what this means to me." Tears were starting to free fall from her face with gratitude. But I didn't want to be praised. I was just happy that Zola was healthy again and
CHAPTER 197 OUR DEAL IS DONETEDDY'S P.O.V I laid out my conditions. Insisting that he gave her his blood beforehand. Swearing that I would uphold my end of the deal. "You do realize that I can collect her on my own without any help, right? I only offered out of courtesy. So, what makes you think you have a bargaining chip here?" My heart was pounding against my chest. Why did I ever think that this would be a good idea? "Look, Zola's condition got worse overnight. I don't think time is on our hands here. I'm not sure I can find Sibil fast enough to meet your condition." The last thing I wanted to do was sound vulnerable but shit, I was running out of time here. "Well it makes sense she got worse. Her cure came within close proximity of her. The curse sensed me." "You knew that would happen when you struck the deal?" I was horrified that he had not a single ounce of care in his heart. "Considering it was too late, why tell you?" I bit my lip, trying to remain calm. I couldn't
CHAPTER 196 RECONDITIONTEDDY'S P.O.V He spun me around the dance floor once more before releasing my hand. When I stopped spinning, he was long gone. Leaving only his mint smell behind. "I see you were making a deal with the devil without us." A voice I knew all too well said from behind me. I turned around to see Lucy standing there, definitely not in a robe as she was before. "He told me to come alone. You could have jeopardized our deal." "Um, you did come alone. I drove myself here." She responded sassily. "You know what I meant by coming alone." "You didn't say I couldn't bring myself." God damn her with her logical ways to wiggle around meanings. Looking for any possible loophole. "He looked like he wanted to break him off a piece of you, though." "Stop, my mate just died." She threw her hands up in surrender. "Look, I was only stating the obvious." Her face lifted up in a half smile, which was basically taunting me. "He does not." "Come on. You can't blame him. Lo
CHAPTER 195 DANCE WITH THE DEVILTEDDY'S P.O.V I was certain that who I saw was Josiah. I had this familiar feeling deep inside. Surely he wouldn't show up just to leave without saying a word to me, right? I kept looking for him as the guests all started to leave. Another round of 'I'm so sorry for your loss.' given out. I had every intention of leaving early to avoid that. But how was I to leave knowing that Josiah was there? After everyone had left, there was still a man seated inside, the last person in the room. But it wasn't him. "Sir, the memorial has ended. Is there something I can help you with?" I asked as I made my way over to him. He sat still, not moving a muscle in the slightest. "Sir?" I asked as I patted his shoulder. His eyes connected with mine, they had almost looked glossed over. "Sir, are you okay? Do I need to call for help?" "Meet me at the underground club, ALONE. I will be the one in the shadows. Wear something nice." The man said before his eyes began
CHAPTER 194 FAREWELLTEDDY'S P.O.V I decided to leave Iblis locked in the spellbound room until I met with Josiah. The last thing I wanted to do was lose the only person that we knew who could contact him. Which Josiah just so happened to be the only man alive that could heal Zola. Luckily, Elias managed to replenish Lucy and I's energy and powers before we trapped Iblis. Not in front of anyone of course. I felt guilty for even asking this of him, but by doing so, it has allowed us to put up a stronger barrier in the room. I keep telling myself that at least it was for the greater good. And in this case it really is, but that doesn't justify relying on a two year old to save the Kingdom and Zola. Plus, it was as if I was asking the man my son was destined to fight to the death to come ahead and meet him. I had no intention of allowing them to cross paths but as one might say, his destiny was already set. I just have to hope that fate doesn't allow them to meet so soon. I know mayb
