Azalea's pov.The growl was so powerful that I was shocked at it, I watched as guards stood by and Thomas stared at me in admiration.Lucy's eyes were fixed on me in utter shock and fear but I didn't mind that as I made my way out of their sight and walked towards my room.As I entered the room, I felt this happiness within my wolf.But alongside the happiness came sadness, the sadness of everyone picking on me at every little chance they got.I took a deep breath and walked towards my wardrobe.I knew I needed to muster up courage, I needed to get strong not for anyone else but for my sake this time.I couldn't keep up with the taunts, I couldn't hear the constant pain that I had to pass through every single day.It felt as though the dawn of the new day brings nothing but drama and more drama.I was picking up some dresses from the laundry when my hand hit the wardrobe door, I let out a groan.The wrist was still hurting so badly.Thomas said he could help me so I went in search of
Thomas's pov.I looked around in shock as my name was announced, I turned to Alpha Federico who was sitting close to Azalea and staring at me with contentment."Thomas can't take on this responsibility all by himself," Lucy snapped."Someone else will join him" Alpha Federico replied to her.She smiled immensely and took a bite from her food "Susan will join him in this" Alpha Federico added, Lucy's face turned pale instantly.Immediately he called my name to take over the palace. In his absence, I knew something was wrong somewhere."Why me?" I said and everyone turned to face me.With shocked expressions and murmurs feeling the room I didn't know what to say or do I just sat quietly watching everyone."You will have to Thomas" Alpha Federico replied, his voice firm."But I do not want to," I replied with an angry tone.I walked out angrily and went straight to my room, turning deaf ears to Alpha Federico's calls as I exited the dining room."Why does he want me to take over?" I thou
Azalea's pov.I felt so restless and uneasy, I didn't know why my heart was suddenly beating so fast.I decided to take a stroll around the palace. I've been to the garden before so I went to the back of the palace that I'd never been to before.It was so quiet and peaceful, then I heard a loud sound coming from a building that looked like the gym.I wanted to go towards where the sound was coming from but I was skeptical about the whole thing so I turned and was about to move towards the palace when I heard a striking male sound."HELP!" The male voice shouted. I was so scared when I heard the sound, at first I thought I was dreaming so I used my palm to wipe my eyes but I wasn't in dreamland.The voice came again and I had no other option but to walk towards the gym, when the voice shouted for the third time it sounded so familiar.I entered the building and there he was, Thomas, lying on the ground close to the press machine crying and wailing in pain.I rushed to his rescue and ra

Azalea's pov.The moment I heard Alpha Federico say these words, my heart ripped open.I was so scared that he knew I was hiding away in Luther's cupboard all this while.I was almost suffocated, I could barely breathe and I couldn't see a thing, it was so dark and there was no space for air.Before I knew it the cupboard's door yanked open and I saw Alpha Federico standing before me, his anger unmeasured.I didn't know if I should be happy or sad.I was delighted that I was free from almost losing my life from breathlessness but I was more afraid of the man standing beside me.He dragged me out of the cupboard and looked at Luther who looked so shocked.Alpha Federico drew me to his side with a wicked grin.I immediately knew I was done for, I was finished and this time no one could save me, not even Luther.He waved his hands to Luther and told him goodbye, he held my hands so tightly, dragged me to his room, and signalled the guards to hold Luther who was angrily coming for his fat
Federico's POV.She called him a coward, a jerk, and many unprintable names, and that made him grow angry."Go ahead, kill me!"Federico walked out of the room angrily. She was beginning to grow wild and couldn't be tamed anymore and he looked for ways to break her. He could feel her slipping through his hands but couldn't help it.He thought of harming his son but quickly kicked that notion away.Instead of that, he called a meeting with his son and sent him away to meet his friend in the neighbouring pack. His excuse was that so that they could solidify the bond between them and in case of future attacks.Thomas asked after Azaleas but Federico challenged him and asked why he was asking after her.Thomas gave a flimsy excuse and he laughed at him inwardly.He made a proverb about cutting people who decided to encroach and Thomas was confused.He told him about a man who loved his brother's property and did his best to take it, but he ended up losing his life. Thomas replied, " Wh
Thomas's pov. It was evident in alpha Federico's face and body language that what I said got on his nerves.As much as I enjoyed tormenting him with words I didn't want anything I said to hurt Azalea's well-being."Let's skip the proverbs Dad, let's talk about the pack matters and all I have to discuss with the neighbouring pack," I said and sat on his couch.He joined in and we started discussing pack matters.There was so much tension in the room as we spoke because our eyes and minds did more of the talking.We spoke politely to each other in a normal tone but our facial expressions were not matched with our voices or what we said.I was so suspicious of him and the way he was behaving, I feared deeply for Azaleas.Our words were carefully selected while we spoke, and despite our obvious suspicions against each other we continued to discuss the neighbouring pack's status.The atmosphere in the room changed because of the unspoken aggression we felt against each other.We both knew
Azalea's pov.Thomas jumped off, I was so scared for him.I crawled from the bed to check if he landed softly but he was out of sight.Alpha Federico's guards barged in, demanding for Thomas."Where is he?" Guard 1 said as he looked around the room."I can swear that he was here," Guard 2 said to Guard 3 In a whisper.I didn't say a word, I dragged my plate of food and continued eating."Did you see him, Madam Azalea?" Guard 1 asked me as he bowed his head."I have no clue about what you all want but it isn't in my chambers" I answered and gulped down my water."I am really tired and weak as you all can see, I need some rest so if you all can be kind enough to exit my cha___ Alpha Federico walked in and my words were tied in my tongue unable to find its way out."Tell that fool to come out from wherever he is hiding!" He shouted as soon as he got to my front."Who are you talking about?" I asked in shock."Thomas! Do not play the dumb card with me Azalea" he said, his voice slapping
Azalea POVI ran out of the throne room and tears began to flow down my face. I tried to hold it in but I couldn't even hold it in for long as all the tears poured and I tried to cover my mouth just to silence it.I can't continue doing this, I keep lying to alpha Federico that I love him when I don't…yes, I have affection for him but that love could never be like the one I felt for Luther, Alpha Federico kept asking me if I loved him but I kept saying I loved him when I didn't.I wish I could just truly love him but I couldn't do it. Walked sluggishly to my room and closed the door as I began to think about all that Alpha Federico said, he kept mentioning my second chance mate coming back but I couldn't really agree to my mate ever coming back. What if he came back and I hate him? What if I reject him because I have become too deeply in love with Luther?But I won't want anyone to pass through the rejection. I knew how much pain I held in the day Kade rejected me and now I would hav
ALPHA Federico The priest and everyone stared at me as my beta asked the same question for the second time. I knew that I wouldn’t dare tell them that I had just stolen my own son's mate.“It’s nothing, I just remembered that I need to discuss something with Luther.” I lied before moving backward a little and then left the secret room and went back to the palace.I staggered slowly through the hallways as I was unable to believe what just happened…it began to make perfect sense to me, that was why Azalea wasn’t able to stay away from Luther even though my inner wolf was very weak.It was because of the pull which she kept feeling and that was what I had always thought was cheating.“I tried to separate them but I was just making the situation worse and their bond to keep getting close,” I muttered to myself as I staggered like a person who was drunk, I stopped again when I realized something.“How am I even sure that they haven’t slept with each other in secret already?” I asked myse
Alpha Federico povKade was soon done with his childish treat and walked away but I wasn’t as calm as I sounded, I looked at Azalea and she was happy because I backed her up…I was also happy because happiness was the only thing I wanted, all I wanted to see was a smile on her face at all times and she never deprived me of that….I smiled back at her subconsciously before looking away, “You shouldn’t mind him, If truly she was seeing things and kept having nightmares we like to have heard her shouts at least once or twice but none of that has happened.” Azalea said before looking at me with a smile.Just when I was about to reply to her my phone beeped and when I checked it was a message from my Beta letting me know that the priest I had sent on an errand had arrived.“I need to go, I have very important things to attend to,” I said to her and stood up even before she could question my reasons,As I walked down the hallway I hoped that he had found a way and that the priest had nothing
Azalea’s povWith those words, I was a bit taken aback by what she was trying to insinuate.“What do you mean?” I asked.“I won’t tell you anything, you just keep acting dumb and trying to find out why Luther cannot do without you,” Susan said and even though I was at the doorway she still walked away and left me in the garden again, while I thought about why exactly I felt this way and why she just said those words but yet I felt like what she had just said had some hidden meaning I have to find out more on.“She wouldn’t say those things if she hadn’t heard something or knew about what was going wrong in my life,” I whispered to myself before walking out of the Garden and into the palace only to see Alpha Federico waiting in front of the doorway with a frown making me wonder if I have done something wrong to him.“Why are you standing there and staring at me like I have done something wrong?” I asked Alpha Federico as then his frown turned to a cheerful look.“I was worried Susan wa
Azalea POVI couldn’t say anything and just kept quiet. Susan walked towards me with a smirk as she became so close to me I could feel the harsh breath from her nose on my skin making me very uncomfortable.“I understand what you mean,” I said but I still didn’t understand what the secret was all about.“I know you think the secret is a minor something but I called you here just to let you know that I would make your life a living hell, I liked you back then as I always thought that you would favor us when you became the Luna but now we all paved way for you to be the queen and now Alpha Federico made you the queen even without a ceremony and you threw us all away,” Susan said with bitterness oozing out of her voice but I still stood cool as I knew deep within me that she was the one who took that photo but with the way, I saw things now I knew she couldn’t do anything… she just wanted attention and to be favored by alpha Federico she was not as determined as Lucy.I walked up to her
Azalea’s povI lay beside Alpha Federico who was fast asleep, I couldn’t help but remember what he said. What good I possibly do to Isabelle that would make her regret ever being born into this world or even being in this pack?I don’t know why Alpha Federico can’t just chase them all away, at least Alpha Rozan left but why weren’t Isabelle and Kade leaving?Suddenly I remembered Kade and that made me angry with myself, I don’t know why I always remembered him. He rejected me and yet acted so emotionally with me,I stood up from the bed and wore my key favorite dress to stroll around and that’s when I searched around for my novel from the other day but couldn’t find it, “where could I have kept it?” I questioned myself and then I remembered the night of my intimacy with Luther, he had collected the book from me while he kissed me and took me to his room and that’s when I recalled seeing him drop it on the shelf in the hallways.I checked on Alpha Federico and he was still fast asleep,
Kade povIsabelle scoffed at my words but that was the truth and I didn’t intend on lying to Isabelle anymore, the love I had for her had slowly begun to wash away and I couldn’t deny the truth anymore.Isabelle paced towards me and with a frown she slapped, I held my cheek in surprise…I never expected her to slap me yet she did.She raised her hand to slap me again but I held her hand and threw it to the ground.“You can’t tell me who to love Isabelle,” I said to her but still she grinned.“I am your mate!!” Isabelle yelled and I couldn’t help but smile.“You are not my mate, you are the main reason why I lost someone as precious as Azalea, just to be with your fucked ass!!” I said to her out of anger and annoyance that Azalea was my mate but was deflowered by another alpha.“What do you mean my fucked ass!! Do you know what I passed through just to be with you!!” Isabelle yelled at me with a teary voice and even though I felt so much pity for her and tried to come close to her I rem
Isabelle povI rushed into my bedroom and touched my cheeks one more time to be sure I wasn’t dreaming…I yelled angrily and threw my phone into the mirror as I couldn’t help but yell.“Ahhh!!!!” I yelled angrily, I couldn’t stop thinking of what she said to me…“You think you can just walk in here and steal what’s mine!? Well, think again!” I recalled,How dare she do something like that, how can she say I was trying to steal what was hers ... .Alpha Federico didn’t even belong to her and still, she was in love with Luther.“I can’t take this, for goodness sake she almost killed me there and Alpha Federico couldn’t even stop her,” I muttered to myself before taking my seat and angrily starting at all the injuries in my body, I can’t believe I would need to hide my body due to how badly she treated me.I looked at my phone on the floor and I was slowly tearing up and unexpectedly the tears slid down my cheeks.“I should call Father,” I muttered and rushed to my phone as I tried turning
Azalea’s povI took my seat on Alpha Federico's bed as I tried to relax my nerves from all that I had just done, Alpha Federico handed me a glass of water which I collected with a wide smile and gulped it in.“I still can’t believe you did that to Isabelle and could still act cool about it.” Alpha Federico said followed by a chuckle, I smiled as I slowly sipped my water like it was wine…I couldn’t even tell how I felt, if I was being angry with myself for showing Alpha Federico I liked him.Suddenly everything I said previously started coming back to me as I dropped the cup and covered my face in embarrassment.I still couldn’t believe such words came out of my mouth. I told him I loved him!!Alpha Federico noticed I was shy and pulled me in for a hug.“I know you are a jealous kind but why would you take it to the extent of beating her almost to a coma.” He muttered to my cheek before kissing it gently.“I didn’t know what hit over me but it’s not just about jealousy, I just hate Isa
