CHAPTER 74 THE UNKNOWNFENRIS'S P.O.VIt didn't take long before Teddy returned."Hey, how'd it go?" I asked curiously."Pretty good actually. But you won't believe what I saw." She immediately said while entering."What did you see?""Darion was there, but not alone... He was fucking someone.""What the hell?""But you won't believe who... Jessie!" She nearly hollered."No fucking way!" "Yeah, and then Fredrick showed up before I could really confront them.""Shit... What are we going to do about them?""Nothing, for now." She replied with a wicked grin across her face."Okay, aside from that what else happened?""Aside from Darion and Jessie burning that horrid image in my head, nothing... I do however think Fredrick is a good candidate. But I haven’t met the others yet." She said as she walked over to the windowsill."I sent out letters to all the applicants with set dates for them all to come to the palace for an interview." I said proudly."When?" She then asked."Starting the d
CHAPTER 75 DARION'S CEREMONYTEDDY’S P.O.VFenris and I had spent the next several days talking and discussing what had happened. We discussed our possible outcomes with what we could do and what we must do to prepare for what was coming.Fenris had told me about the day I had some different form of possession. Possession was the only explanation to what happened either time, there was just no other way of describing it. Especially when Fenris told me what I did. I had absolutely no memory of what he said I had done that day. He told me that my eyes were red, making a shiver run up my spine from the possibilities of what that meant.I wished he would have mentioned this sooner. However, he reminded me that I avoided him at every cost, keeping our talks minimal. He wasn't wrong, I had been doing that. The only reason we were conversing now was because I basically despise everyone here. He wasn't high on the list of likes but at least he wasn't as bad as these people."So when we get ba
CHAPTER 76 OBSERVATIONSTEDDY'S P.O.VI simply ignored his request. The dude didn't even ask my name before jumping straight to the point of what he desired."You think you're too good for me? Back home all the girls fell at my feet wanting a piece of this dick." He grabbed my arm aggressively.My eyes connected with his as I let Gemma come forward, just a little."Do I look interested or like one of your whores back home? If I ignored your request it means I am not interested. I advice you to leave me the fuck alone." I said with a hint of irritation."Whatever, you're not that hot anyway. Any other girl would kill to have a night with me, Aiden Parks. Alpha Heir of the Parkview Pack.""Let my arm go before you lose feeling in those fingers, Mr.Parks." I said in a threatening tone.I was over his behavior. Trying to throw his rank at me as if that made a difference. I could feel Fenris's eyes glaring at my back but surprisingly he hadn't acted a fool as I had expected him to."Threa
CHAPTER 77 THE TWISTED SIDEFENRIS’S P.O.VThe growl made Kingston come forward faster than normal. Anatural instinct to protect. I stood up eyeing the old man in his face for trying to show intimidation."Is there a problem?" I asked as a statement rather than a question.Drake's demeanor immediately faltered as he took a step back. I knew my eyes and aura were unmatched. Kingston wouldn't allow a threat to present itself to his mate, let alone a man thinking he could intimidate someone solely because he used to."She disrespected me one too many times." Drake hissed through the gap in his front teeth."She can say as she pleases. Especially if the truth is all she speaks." I said as I rose even higher, showing him he had no intimidation over me."Sh...Sh...She called me a...a...an idiot." He said as his words came out more of a stuttering whisper. "If the shoe fits." Teddy said with a low chuckle."HOW DARE YOU!" Drake hollered as he came forward with his hand raised.I quickly hop
CHAPTER 78 TAG ALONGTEDDY’S P.O.VWhen I was pleased with the results I allowed my anger to subside."I thought you were going to kill him." Fenris said beside me."Well, what fun would that be?" I asked."You remember everything?" Fenris then asked."Of course, why would I not?""Your eyes were that shade of red from before. I thought that something was possessing you again.""Hmm, maybe when I tap into my abilities my eyes change color. I had never used my gifts around anyone knowingly before, maybe I just didn't know?""That part makes sense. But the time I saw your eyes turn red, you didn't remember anything afterwards and that still doesn't make sense." We both sat there looking at my father on the floor, his hands over his mouth."Why exactly did you cut out his tongue?" Fenris then asked."Because I said I would if he spoke of my mother again. What's a promise if its' not kept anyway? It becomes meaningless words. At least now, people won't question if I mean what I say.""An
CHAPTER 79 POSSIBLE COMPETITIONFENRIS’S P.O.VWhen we pulled into the territory arriving at the pack house, none other than Tanner himself stood in the driveway. Shirt off, abs flexed, in the middle of the winter as if the weather had no effects on him. I liked Tanner, don't get me wrong but something about their relationship ate away at me. She confided in him, she trusted him. I wasn't sure but I felt like she may have even loved him. Teddy showed him affection I desired to have for myself. The simplest affections, such as lying her head on his shoulder for comfort, something my body and mind craved.Spending time at her old home made me realize she was far from the average girl. My silly flowers just weren't enough. But I could do better and she was worth fighting for. I would lay my life on the line for her if need be, but she could handle herself, that much was clear.When we came to a complete stop Teddy flung her door open running right into his arms, making Kingston rage in m
CHAPTER 80 DOUBLE TRAINERSTEDDY’S P.O.VI knew inside that I was ready to start training with my gifts. Truth be told, I was born ready but the more days that pass by the more I could feel the powers festering inside of me. They wanted out, begging to be set free.I was in the forest stretching when I heard footsteps approaching."You're not going to believe what I am about to tell you. So, I somehow used my anger to master my fire gift!" I said only turning around to be disappointed by it not being Tanner."What are you doing here?" I asked, more hateful than I had intended it being."King Fenris asked that I assist with your training.""I have a trainer, so you can go." I said as I started stretching again, my excitement went from 100 to 0 real quick."I would but he said this is what he needed. Something only a select few know about your gifts and the more people pushing you to your limits the better for your training.""Tanner pushes me to my limits just fine." I said as I began
CHAPTER 81 KENNEDYTEDDY’S P.O.VI wasn’t exactly sure what it was that I wanted to talk to her about, but I knew that I had a lot of big emotions I needed off my chest. My mind was constantly going at a rapid speed so someone's insight that I trusted was exactly what I needed.As I approached her wing I thought about the first time I had come to her. I was a broken mess. I wasn't sure I would ever be able to let go of what happened to me. I'm not over all that has happened, I still have a long way to go. But I don't sit in my room terrified of interactions with others. I also don't cry myself to sleep at night anymore. The nightmares are still present but at least when I wake up, I know inside that it was only a dream.I climbed the stairs of the wing, stopping in my tracks immediately when I heard a voice I never expected to hear in this wing."Thanks Doc."I dared not to turn the corner yet. I didn't want him to know I was here."I will see you again tomorrow at the same time, righ
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
