CHAPTER 91 FORGIVENESSTEDDY'S P.O.VNow that the interviews were done, the ball was the next big event. Once the ball comes to an end, then we can begin to really prepare for what's coming. We had already been researching dates and having the Kingdom train with different skills so that we were as prepared as we could be. But it just didn't feel like enough. We really needed to figure out how to get more information. What little I have managed to see, wasn't nearly enough.As I sat in front of the mirror looking at my reflection I looked over to the place I was hit in my last dream. I was terrified of that happening again. But if he could hurt me, does that mean I could also hurt him? If that were the case then I needed to be ready even in my sleep for a potential battle. How the fuck does one even prepare for such a thing?My bedroom door swung open and closed with a slam, pulling me instantly from my thoughts. I looked over to see Imagen leaned against the now closed door. Her eyes
CHAPTER 92 WALKING IN AWINTER WONDERLAND GALATEDDY'S P.O.VOnce we pulled away, both of us were breathless. He mirrored what I assumed my face looked like. Surprised. Like I said, I've been so hot and cold. This was our first kiss since before he rejected me and I gave no warning before I attacked his face."I'm sorry, I shouldn't... -" I began to say before he pulled me in for another, cutting me off mid-sentence.Once our blissful moment ended, clapping sounded from behind us."It's about damn time." Amasculine voice echoed from behind.We turned to see Tanner approaching us with a smile. Fenris's face immediately looked confused. Which made sense, I hadn't exactly shown him that Tanner and I were so not into one another. I actually did the complete opposite. I used every chance with Tanner to make Fenris angry and jealous. Immature, I know."I was beginning to think I would die before y'all made up." He then said, making me giggle a little. "And who do we have here?" I asked, loo
CHAPTER 93 WHEN THE LAST LEAF FALLSFENRIS'S P.O.VI heard a scream and my eyes immediately shot over to where Teddy was standing. Her head was cocked to the side as she examined the big man child pointing his finger at her accusingly. I made my way over to where my mate was, the Parks a few steps ahead."She did it dad, she did it." He said as his finger waved dramatically in the air.I knew Teddy could handle herself but it wasn't in my blood to sit back and just watch. Asmile crept up on her face when they both were standing directly in front of her."I did what, Aiden?" She asked."IT'S ALPHA." He raged causing a bigger scene."Correct me if I'm wrong Alpha Parks but Aiden is your second born. Correct?" Teddy asked, her eyes now on the older version of Aiden."Yes he is." "Right, which means he is not a true Alpha. Maybe by blood, but he is not entitled to the name Alpha unless he was granted the title. Correct?""That is correct." The older man said softly."So, Mr.Parks as I sa
CHAPTER 94 MERRY CHRISTMASFENRISS P.O.VAfter I returned, the ball was starting to dwindle down. Teddy and I stayed until the very last person left. Some were too intoxicated to drive back so they opted to stay in our guest wing. After they all had retreated for the night, Teddy and I gave out orders to the clean up crew. Which was a different set from our servers, we didn't want to overwork anyone. We then decided to head up to our wing once they started cleaning."Thanks for tonight." Teddy said with a small smile."Anytime." I said as I pulled my wrist up to look at the time."It's 12am. Merry Christmas." I then said."Oh um... Merry Christmas.""I have something for you. Wait here." I said before turning away to grab her gift off the nightstand in my room.When I returned her face looked surprised. "You didn't have to. I didn't get you anything." She said as her smile faded."I don't need anything." I then said as I handed her the gift."You shouldn't have spent any money on me.
CHAPTER 95 TOGETHER AT LASTTEDDY'S P.O.VI couldn't sleep, I only tossed and turned in my empty room. The need grows greater with each passing moment. I knew I wouldn't be able to resist him much longer. I also knew we had a lot to discuss. But for now, words weren't what I needed, physical contact was. I rolled over in bed for the up-teenth time, looking at Mr.Cuddles who laid on the pillow next to me. Still dirty and old, but completely rebuilt as if he was brought back to life.Fuck it. I'm going for it, I thought to myself. We've had enough time with tension building to make ourselves crave one another. Now it's time for us to devour each other's bodies in ways we hadn't had the pleasure of doing.I got up and grabbed my kimono, wrapping it around my naked body loosely. I had one goal in mind and clothes weren't a part of that.I crossed the hall with a new mindset in place. I raised my hand to knock, nerves building in my stomach. I took a deep breath in before courage finally s
CHAPTER 96 RE-MARKTEDDY'S P.O.VWhen he entered, my pussy walls spread allowing his girth to glide inside. The walls of my pussy tightened around his dick making my body erupt with pleasure."Fuck!" He said, as his body visibly relaxed.Acalmness washed over him before he began to move in sync with my rocking hips."Goddess heavens, you're so tight." He whispered as he shifted our position.Turning my body to the side. One leg now wrapped around his waist, while the other was between his legs. Allowing him more access to pound relentlessly into me. Soon I could feel my orgasm creeping back up for the second time. Suddenly his hands gripped my thighs as he flipped me over. My ass now straight up, while my face was face down.'OOO THIS IS MY FAVORITE!' Gemma screamed in my head. Of course, doggy style would be her favorite position. I thought to myself as he entered again. This time more rough as he gripped my hips, using them to push his full length inside of me. I screamed out on th
CHAPTER 97 THE MORNING AFTERFENRIS'S P.O.VI awoke to the sun rays of Christmas morning beaming down on my face. As soon as I opened my eyes Teddy was already sitting up in the bed, her face deep in thought."Morning." I said, startling her momentarily."Sorry, I'm still a little jumpy from last night." She said as her eyes connected with mine."I know what you mean. I didn't get much real sleep after witnessing what that man did. I'm all for a little torture for information but he went beyond anything I would have dared to do." I admitted, thinking back on what we saw together."So that was your dream that night?" She asked in a serious tone."Not exactly. My dream stopped right before this one began. I didn't see any of those horrific actions. I only saw him beginning before I woke up.""You should've told me." She said almost pleadingly. "I tried. Multiple times.""I'm sorry. I should have listened. I shouldn't have acted like such an entitled child. Why would you ever forgive me
CHAPTER 98 CHRISTMAS CHAOSTEDDYS' P.O.VI still was unsure how I felt about this holiday. Everyone looked so happy running around looking for their gifts. I didn't want to be a Debbie downer though. Fenris was right, my son should be as happy as all these adults were. He should always see the good parts, the parts I never saw myself. I'm glad Fenris was here to guide us. Without him, Elias wouldn't ever have known the real meaning of Christmas happiness.I watched as the adults scurried around, suddenly remembering what a terrible friend I was. I never went and checked on Imagen last night! I quickly scanned the room to only be disappointed when her smiling face wasn't amongst them.Fenris could sense my discomfort before I even had to say it. But he understood nonetheless.After I left the Christmas chaos, I went straight to her wing. I knocked a couple of times but to my dismay, no response. She may not be able to talk anymore, but I knew she could hear. I knocked again but nothing
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
