DRACO’S POV I planned to be shamelessly involved with Helena even though I knew she would continually push me away. Once she makes a decision, she will stand by it no matter what and her decision for revenge involves her not falling for me. I knew that clearly. It was obvious! The conversation was going smoother than I had expected before the elders came to ruin the flow. I wondered why they were here so early in the morning, but I was not surprised. I expected them to come around any time soon since their spies would have informed them of the latest developments between I and Helena. “They must be here to challenge me after all” I mumbled to myself, ascending the stairs of the palace hall. Immediately I had my seat, their voices of protest raised up to me. “My Alpha, why have you refused to consummate your marriage?” one of them questioned me and I was taken aback. Was that the reason for their visit? To ask me such a thing? These old hags must really be jobless for them to kee
As soon as Amy left Draco’s chamber, she went around giggling about how her consummation party would be held before that of the Luna of the pack.“I have to get everything ready as soon as possible. Prepare everything early so there is no confusion or rushing anywhere”, she instructed her head maid.The poor head maid brought forward several dress styles for her to pick one but all were not up to her taste. She wanted something that would set her apart totally from every other person there.Her hand slammed on the table in anger after being brought the twentieth style for the day. “This is the royal palace, how come no one has the same elegant and classy taste as me? Everything is so bland! I want something spicy and extraordinary” she lashed out, and the poor stylist shrunk.They had been trying their best to come up with several styles ever since the head maid informed them but no one the styles they recommended was picked by Amy, she was just too picky to satisfy.“I am tired right
Through the command of Han, the maids spread the word of Helena spending the night with Alpha to the ears of Amy who couldn’t believe her ears. “She’s doing what?” she asked, pausing her drink “She will be spending the night at the Alpha’s chamber” her spy confirmed once again and she slapped her drink off the table in anger. With a tight clenching of her fist and teeth, “That sly bitch” she cursed under her breathe. “Is the Alpha back?” she asked and the maid confirmed that he already went to his room. She released a piercing scream and sprang up. Immediately she heard that, she rushed to his chamber and requested to see him. “He’s in there with the Luna, we have to announce your presence” the maid answered and a sound slap resonance across the poor maid’s face. “Can’t you see that I am insisting right now? Do I look like I am begging for his presence?” she shouted at her before barging inside. “What do you think you are doing?” she yelled at Helena who was not fazed, she alr
Immediately she appeared in the hall, Amy’s heart skipped a bit. She knew what she was capable of doing. After all, Helena is not someone to be dared. “What do you mean by that Luna?” Elder Conri countered her, raising his voice. “What else would I mean? I want my own date, so do your meeting and give me mine” she shrugged, answering calmly. The elders started to murmur with themselves about her rude behavior and the best answer to give to her sudden question. Elder Boris calmly stood up and faced Helena, who was waiting patiently for their answers. “Luna, I understand your grief and concern, but how about we settling this after the ceremony? You are the mother of the pack, you should be able to bear this much” he stated in a meek, persuading tone, and she almost fell for him, but Prince Klaux strode in to add fuel to the fire. He had been away from the marine army on Draco’s orders and finally came back to check up on Helena when he got a little holiday. He was outside the door
“My Alpha, if I may ask, who is Vincent? Is there anything you have for us in order to trail, identify or track him down?” the head of guards asked swiftly as they assembled in front of the house where Draco was standing. His head went blank at those questions. He should have thought about it before giving out the order but the sudden situation prompted him. His fingers rubbed along his forehead as he tried thinking of an answer, but someone rescued him from behind. “He will get back to you soon, you can all return to your posts” Beta Gray stated and they all bowed before turning back. A tired sigh emerged from the disengaged Alpha as he kept rubbing his forehead. “She’s awake, you can come in” Gray announced, and he didn’t waste any seconds before rushing in. He stood by her side as he gently gazed at her tired figure. Feelings he couldn’t even comprehend flowed through his body as he slowly bent down to check up on her. “Helena, how are you feeling now?” “A little better, I gu
After carefully arranging the books back on the shelf, they went to sleep and left for the palace early the next day. By the time they got to the palace, Helena was already up and about but she didn’t step out of her room. Draco marched out to welcome them on arrival and summoned them to his chambers for their feedback. “So what is the good news that you brought?” eagerness evident in his tone Prince Klaux pouted, “Who told you we brought any good news in the first place? Draco’s hope shrank immediately, he was so confident that they would bring something tangible and useful, but his reply didn’t seem like that. “What do you mean?” his cold voice cut through the silent room. Han bowed this time around and stepped forward to hand over the letter they retrieved from the mail box. “This was all we could find but we believe it is a clue to wherever he might be. I hope you will be able to find something out about it when you read it” she softly stated. He read through the letter as
DRACO’S POV Earlier during the evening, the elder of the third tribe had visited me and I already knew why he was there. Amy must have informed him. “It has been a while, I almost thought you had moved outside the pack”, I welcomed him sarcastically. “I know, right? I wouldn’t have any reason to crawl out of my hiding hole if you had done what is expected of you” Elder Conri responded the same way. “And what can I do for you?” “Is it until the council of elders protest publicly and force you to do the needful before you take actions? How can a woman not feel the warmth of her husband? You might have taken her in to strengthen your throne, but it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t treat her right. If you don’t want to lose all the support you have garnered from my tribe, then things had better be set aright. I made sure not to be a threat to your throne, but if you provoke me, who knows? I might suddenly have the urge to sit on this mighty throne that is making you feel untouchable” He su
The next few days in the pack were crazy. News of the death was brought to the palace every day at least three times. We had been infiltrated by the rebels and they were not merciful in the tinniest bit towards our people. It was as if they had been waiting for the chance to attack and wipe us out, but our soldiers were doing a fantastic job in making sure the attack’s result was minimal. I was coming back from a meeting when I met one of the maids sobbing across the palace’s corridor as she held onto her right hand. The other maid by her side also held her to support her frame and that caught my attention as they walked down to the other side. I stopped to observe them a bit before I called their attention to figure out what exactly was happening. “Call them for me” I commanded, and my head aide didn’t waste any time before calling them over. “What is this about?” They both froze for sometimes, hesitating about whether they should open up to me, but I moved closer to ask gently a
The fight at the border had been quite fierce due to several intruders trying to sneak into the pack because of the pack flourishing. “We just rounded up some spies we caught trying to enter the pack. They are now in the back quarters”. One of the soldiers rushed to update Prince Klaux who was just coming back from another mission. With a tired sigh, he gulped down a bottle of water and signaled to his assistant. “Let’s go and check them out. This is really getting out of hand” he said, and left with the soldier. The spies were interrogated and they confessed that they were on a mission to find out the manufacturing process of the cures that were being developed at the pack’s research lab. “Which pack sent you?” he questioned “The bluemoon pack”, one of the spies responded. “I hear of new packs every day” he groaned as his hands found their way to his waist. He turned to his assistant and scratched his head for a while, “Feed them, give them a place to sleep and send them on the
Prince Klaux had been frequently visiting Han ever since she had been on the sick bed, even though he didn’t exactly know the reason why. “You always find yourself here. You both didn’t have anything going on while she was still fine though”, Vincent once said to him, and he smiled a bit. “I know right, we never had anything going on. I guess I just missed seeing her standing by cutie’s side. No one to bicker and argue with, it feels weird” he responded, and Vincent chuckled. “You really need to think about it further. Something might be kicking in”, Vincent remarked, and he denied it vehemently. “What do you mean kicking in? You are just blabbering nonsense” he muttered, but Vincent only patted his shoulder before leaving him. That very day, he came by after leaving the proposal party. He came to check up on her since it had been a while due to the fact that he was away from the palace. “You seem to be doing well over there, seeing you don’t want to come back here anymore. I gue
The priestess treated Jerry and told her that she would have to hope that the moon goddess would have mercy and grant him another spirit wolf in the nearest future because nothing could be done anymore, since the spirit wolf was killed after being torn away from him. For days, Helena couldn’t digest the news. She couldn’t eat, move or do anything. Nothing made her happy no matter what anyone did. She couldn’t rid herself of the guilt that her son had to face such a terrible fate because she was not there to protect her son, thanks to her obsession with the cure. She lost interest in everything and was ready to give it up. Alpha Draco gave orders for Elder Damon to be executed publicly and his family were turned into slaves, Amy’s entire tribe was banned and a letter was sent to every pack not to accommodate them with the notification of their crimes. Ava was hanged as an accomplice to the crime and her family were sent out of the pack. Both Helena and Vincent got healed from the vir
HELENA’S POV I played all day with Jerry who was now very big. He was growing so well that I felt bad not involved lately in his growing process but I needed to find the cure in order to be by his side. I came back from his quarters and went down straight to the lab where I found out that Vincent had injected himself with the cure we recently developed. “Why would you do that? Who would attend to me?” I lashed out at him and Han gave me his note “It is brutal to keep watching you battle with the pain of the cure every time. Let’s share the pain together this time around” was what was written in the note Han said to me, “You don’t need to be afraid, I will be the attending doctor” and I nodded. I trusted her enough after all I was given the shot and placed under observation. It didn’t take up to three minutes before I fell asleep but I felt my furs sprout and my claws coming out before I lost consciousness. The next thing I woke up to was everyone fighting and running for their liv
Draco was coming back from where he went to deliver flowers as usual to Helena but he was not let in on her orders. That didn’t annoy him nonetheless, he only wanted to keep trying till she would open up to her. He was passing by the kitchen when he witnessed the sight where Amy was trying to pick on Chief Kinn, even to the extent of slapping her. He paused at the door to take a look around from one maid to the other before he started entering the kitchen till he got to Amy. “What do you think you are doing right now?” he growled at her and everywhere shook. He was so livid at the sight in front of him and the bitterness he had for Amy added fuel to the fire. “I was only trying to teach her some lessons, why is that a problem?” Amy countered, not backing down easily “Are you asking me if that is a problem right now? Can you listen to yourself?” he growled hard and rushed towards her in anger. She shuddered at the sight of his anger, she had never seen him that way. His furs sprou
The sending of several types of flowers from Alpha Draco continued day and night but I couldn’t bring myself to send him any response even though I loved the flowers. I didn’t want to give him any false hope, fall in love with him and disappear like the passing wind when death comes. It was better how we were neither enemies nor friends. “I only have to fulfil my purpose. Any other thing should not be attached. He should just focus on being the best father for our son” I stated when Han was trying to convince me to spend the little time I have with him instead of avoiding him “You might come to regret this when it’s extremely too late. It is best you enjoy everything you can now” Han insisted but I just tucked myself under the blanket and faced the other side. I couldn’t stop crying at the fact that I wouldn’t be able to stay by Draco’s side after we cleared the misunderstanding. I wouldn’t lie, I still loved him dearly. We were both torn by the greedy adults but we managed to pull
B Beta Gray was surely stunned at my reaction as I rushed towards him and jumped in his hand. He wasn’t expecting it but then he couldn’t allow me to fall so he had to catch me so fast. “Uh.. Uhmm.. You didn’t.. uhm have to.. uhm” he kept stammering and Alpha Draco came to his aid. “She didn’t have to hug you, right? I support that fully” Alpha Draco commented with a fake frown, and we all laughed at his remark. “So you managed to retrieve this from Elder Damon’s house? It’s well written and decoded”, Vincent stated as he flipped through the book. “Yes, the man with the scar has been captured too. He’s the closest aide to Elder Damon. He’s in custody at the prison”. Beta Gray chipped in with a bragging right and Vincent smiled. “He should also have the taste of what being locked up against your will looks like. I hope he rots in there”, Vincent remarked coldly before raising the book. “Since what we need is here, we should get to work as soon as possible” he added, and I agreed
HELENA’S POV Everyone was happy that I was finally awake after a long week and the Alpha instructed the kitchen to throw me a mini-feast. “Whatever she wants should be cooked for her with immediate effect. Nothing should be left undone for her, take care of all her orders with optimum care and swiftness”, he ordered, and the maids had no choice but to agree with him. “Why are you putting so much pressure on them? It’s not like I can eat more than my stomach”, I argued, but he shook his head. “You deserve everything” he declared, and I gave him a suspicious side eye. “What do you mean by that line? You are being cheesy for no reason”, I attacked, and the Alpha sighed in frustration. He moved closer to where I was attending to the flowers by the window and let out a small cough. “Helena, are you still going to continue this way? Don’t you think it’s high time I was forgiven?” he carefully asked, and my hands paused. I turned to look at him and dropped the napkin in my hand. “Dra
I finally opened my eyes after being unconscious for two days and I saw Vincent studying hard at the table close to the window at the far end of the room. I groaned slightly as I tried rolling to the side in order to stand up, but no matter how I tried, it was an impossible task. “Are you finally awake? Don’t try hard to stand up, you can never stand up for now”, Vincent cautioned and started to walk towards me when he heard my groans “Why can’t I stand up?” I questioned, losing the fight against standing up and lying there. “The treatment I placed you on is so strong that it won’t wear off for the next three days. I know that you will never rest if I tell you ordinarily, so I have to place you in absolute rest against your will and I am not sorry to take that decision”, he said boldly, and I just smiled. I knew Vincent to be stubborn and strict, so it was not surprising to see him act that way. We are both stubborn and determined, it was obvious that I wouldn’t allow that if I wer
