Alpha Hardy's pov I looked at the message that was sent by Alpha Thorn and smirked. "Why would I aid a man who wants to have my daughter killed?" I said slowly as I walked through the corridor down to the garden. The servants bent as I walked. They have learned to fear me. " Alpha." I heard a voice and I turned. "Alpha Thorn is here. He wants to see you." My new beta said slowly as he walked away from my presence. I immediately went towards the palace and was met with a stern gaze. "Alpha Thorn, what a pleasant surprise to see you." I said, trying to avoid his gaze. "Did you get my message?" Alpha Thorn asked, looking at me. "Your message?" I replied, trying to tell him I didn't get it. "Yes, my message. Did you get it?" Alpha Thorn repeated himself. "Of course I did. You need my help to get my daughter killed." I replied as I took a seat on the throne. "I can't believe you would say this. Did you know your daughter had me under a spell that would make me love After everything I
Lyla's pov As we walked back to the pack. I noticed the people were tired and hungry. Most of them looked worn out, and many of them were lying on the street begging. A part of me felt responsible for them, and the thought of liberating them filled my head. "Think, Lyla. What do you think will really happen to them if you decide to flee this silver moon pack?" Violet asked "That isn't my problem; I am not the Alpha of this kingdom." I replied, and Kiera looked at me. "She is right, Lyla." She said making sure Thern is not close by. "The people will suffer if you decide to neglect their feelings." "What can I do? We both know the kingdoms are having a chosen Alpha already. I am just a rogue alpha, and there is little to what I can do. Do you think Alpha Thorn would want to listen to me when all he sees is a threat? With what had transpired between the both of us, I doubt he will be ready to listen to me." I looked at Keira, who was just recovering from her wounds. "What Alpha Thorn
Alpha Thorn's povMy fave bubbled with anger. "What!' Do you think I am going to give in to your demands?" He looks at Billy with anger. "Do you really think being seated with me makes us equal?" I shouted at her.Billy laughed with a smirk on her face. "I can see what you are planning here. You just want a hand that would help you defeat Alpha Derek and that all. If you are not ready to give in to them, then I don't see any reason why we need to continue this conversation. Have you looked outside the kingdom?" She paused and looked at me "What about it?" I asked "What do you really think will happen to the starving people when they decide to turn their backs against their Alpha, who doesn't seem to care about them but his iron throne?" Billy said with a smirk and walked away. I watched her walk out of the council meeting without knowing what to say. I looked at her and knew she wanted me to say something that would hold her back. Apologize if need be. But I am Alpha. I get what I
Georgina's pov It has been three days since I got into the scorpion pack. I must say they are very secretive people, and they have their way of doing things. It was quite different from the Silver Moon Pack, but I was willing to learn their ways and work with Alpha Derek to take down the Silver Moon Pack, or should I say Thorn's kingdom. A part of me was falling for Alpha Derek. He was strong and bold and knew what he wanted, unlike Thorn, who wasn't sure of what he wanted. But something was different about him; he was blood thirsty and wanted things done his way. I could feel him trying to get under my skin, not to mention his witch, who wanted me to master my powers in time. My door crawled open, and I saw Rex walk in. "You should learn to knock, Rex. What if I was naked?" I said it with anger. Rex had the habit of doing whatever he pleased. I would have cast some magical spell on him, but I knew I couldn't. He was Alpha Derek's beta, his lackie, and he wouldn't be happy if I de
Georgina's pov Everything went back to normal, and I could see through Diana's lies. I knew what she and Alpha Derek wanted. A vessel to jump powers, and I knew I had to make sure when she decided to shift powers I would be ready to absorb all of her powers. Time went back to normality, and we were done with our breakfast. "What do you think? Are you accepting my offer?" Alpha Derek asked again. I looked at Rex and back at Diana. I nodded, and he smiled. "Good, Diana will help you with anything you need to know about magic. Learn from her, and you are soon going to stand out on your own." Alpha Derek looked at me and I nodded. One of the servants ran into the dining chambers. "You have a visitor from the Crescent Moon ack." The young lady said she was quickly waiting for his orders. "Crescent pack, you say?" Diana looked back and he nodded. "Yes, he demands an audience with Alpha Derek." My mind went into a frenzy mode. What is my father doing here? Did he learn that I had left
DIANA'S POV In the quiet shadows of the east wing, I awaited her. Georgina, the unsuspecting little pawn who believed she could outwit us. She was completely unaware of what was in store for her. This evening, I would urge her to reveal her real capabilities — the sort of strength that can only surface under extreme pressure. My lips formed a sly grin as I set up the spell, my fingers carving ancient symbols in the air, unseen by everyone except the sharpest observers. Shadows wrapped around me, answering my summons, and the room became dimmer and chillier, as if a tempest was gathering inside. I heard her footsteps before I saw her, soft and tentative, growing louder as they approached. She was being careful, but the eagerness in her steps betrayed her confidence. Foolish girl. I positioned myself just out of sight and crafted the illusion carefully. I conjured a figure, shrouded and menacing, hidden by shadows yet unmistakably dangerous. I infused it with whispers and malice
Lyla's pov "Are you just going to give up on all of those people? They look up to you as the Alpha they truly want. You will crush their hopes if you decide to leave them now." Kiera looked at me, and I sighed. The load on me was much, and many people are looking up to me, but I don't know where to start. I hated Alpha Thorn, but the people are bound to him as a pack and he was their leader. No harm will come to him without coming to his people." Denying him was the same as denying the people. The door creaked open, and Thern walked in. "I think I can help," he said, slowly looking at me. " Help? How can you be of help? We are facing not only a Scorpion pack but also a witch. I believe you have seen how powerful she is, but I am not ready to find out. If Billy here can defeat her and her magic, then we need to focus more on that than wolf strengths." Keira said with a deep voice. "Thern is not who he claims to be." I quickly corrected her. "Then who is he?" Keira looked at my face
Lyla's pov " What?" I shouted, staring at everyone's face. "Is there something on my face?" I shouted at them. None of them could reply to me. I had a careful study of Alpha Thorn's facial looks down to his hair. He was my exact type of man, and I was going to choose him over and over again if I had come to the same world with him, but this world I was in with him wasn't what I really wanted. I looked at Thern's face, and I could see he was jealous. "So what are you asking of me?" I stared at him. "I need you to negotiate with the leader of the rogues. We all want the same thing. We want to see the scorpion pack crumble, and we need to join forces with them, but they won't listen to me." Alpha Thorn looked at my face. "You want to ask me to lead the chariot without me knowing what I am getting myself into? Why won't the rogues talk to you? Why do they hate you this much?" "My father.. He banished his beta then, and he had too. Can we skip that? That is another different story fo
Alpha Derek's pov [ ON THE BATTLE FIELD] Everything was happening so fast. The battle to Tae over the silver moon pack. I could not think, I was not myself. The continuous words of Georgina echoed in my head telling what to do.I looked around and I could see that most of my men were tired. The loud shout of battle cry could be heard across the field as man fell. My vision felt blurry and tiring. I looked beside me and saw one of the silver moon army coming right towards me. I wasted no time in clawing out his throat. The loud pitch of his cry echoed into my ears as I watched life slowly fade out of him. Where is she? Where is Georgina? This was not the plan and for some reason I was going against everything I had promised my men. Everything I had planned. I rushed towards the Georgina side and drew her away from the front battle, " This was not what you promised me!" I said in anger."Look around you, My men are dying by their thousands and what have you been able to do abou
Georgina's pov [ A DAY BEFORE THE BATTLE ] I had anticipated that Bily would be ready to thwart my plan. I don't understand what her drift was and why she was going this far to make sure I failed. I walked into Alpha Derek's room and saw him almost naked. He had his pants on and his broad chest was alluring and tempting. I bit my lower lips as I walked in. " Georgina." Alpha Derek said, meeting my gaze. " I wasn't expecting you." He said grabbing his robe. I looked at him as the robe hugged his broad chest and muscular arms. " You looked trouble." He said looking at me. " Talk to me. Is anything the matter?" " I was thinking, why don't we attack the Silver moon pack? They won't expect us to attack them." I said looking at him.Alpha Derek went to his seat, he grabbed his jar of wine and drank directly from it. A tug smile forming on his face. " What is in it for me? it is clear that I love you but I feel like you are not showing me all the pieces on the chess board." Alpha Der
Alpha Thorn's POV I felt restless as I anticipated the news of Billy's return. The kingdom felt hollow, and everyone was scared. I could see the looks on the elders faces. Most of the pack members were leaving the pack only to be taken captive by Derek's men. The door opened, waking me up from my thoughts. "Is there any news?" I looked at the guard. "None, Alpha Thorn. There is no news from Billy yet." I watched anxiously as the door shut in my face. This was getting out of hand. I needed to show my people I was not scared of Derek, but any wrong move might result in a dilemma I was not prepared or ready for. I landed back on my chair. As the thought of what could happen to me and my kingdom engulfed me. All of this happened because I refused to take Lyla as my mate. At least that was what I thought. I remember the look in my best friend's eyes as his head was chopped off. "Maybe I deserve everything that was happening to me." The word slowly left my lips as I closed my eyes.
Alpha Derek's POV I looked at Georgina, and I felt elated. She had not only saved me from Diana's clutches, but she was even more powerful. I knew attacking the Silver Moon Pack would be easy. I looked at her as she sat across the table from me. "What do you think? Why don't we attack now when they least expect us to?" I looked up to meet her gaze. Georgina's hair had also changed color. I remembered when Diana first merged. She was having this fierce look that made me scared of her. "I told you already, Derek. We are not destroying that pack. I need Alpha Thorn as my slave. That is all that mattered!" Georgina snapped. I looked at her, and I could see the wickedness in them. The venom, I knew making her angry was going to be a mistake. "So what about me? I get the fact that you are trying to take the kingdom from Thorn. What do I stand to gain from all of this?" L asked expectantly. "A lot, Derek." I said with a smile on my face. "You have always enslaved the neighboring
Lyla's POVI opened the door to meet each elder with their gazes falling on me. They all looked at me and wondered how I could have been the Alpha spoken of. Beta Cedric and Keira flanked my side as we approached the little gathering of the elders. "Here is Billy; I believe you all know who she is." Elder Pontius looked at their faces. "So, you are the Alpha that was spoken of." Elder Zeus said with a voice dripping with anger. "Why should we believe you? You had your parents killed due to your foolishness. We wouldn't have gone through any of this if you had accepted the bargain and become Alpha Thorn's Luna. We would have control and power, but no, you decided to shove the offer back in his face, and your parents or Alpha paid the price, and now you want to lead us." Zeus shook his head and looked away. "Can you just calm yourself and listen to her? I don't see us having any chance if we don't listen to her. Besides, do you think Derek would stop after conquering Silver Pack? We
Elder Pontius Pov "I can't believe this. This is truly amazing. With this, we can't turn the people around to hate and make sure Alpha Hardy leaves this throne, but then we need to make sure the news of this doesn't get to his hearing. This could backfire on me." I said quickly, looking at Beta Cedric and his companions. "I know the risk you are taking on, old friend, but we can't just sit back and watch the pack get divided. Alpha Derek would stop at nothing to see all of this crumble. All he cared about was ruling the packs." Beta Cedric looked at me. "Well, there is still work to be done. There is another meeting coming up this week. We are currently discussing joining forces with the Scorpion pack. Alpha Derek is launching an assault on the Silver pack." I said, raising my eyebrows to look at their faces. "Can't you stop that?" Lyla asked in Billy's voice. "We came to stop that firm happening. That is why we are here." "That is where you come in." I said, immediately balancin
Beta Cedric's POV I looked at Elder Pontius and didn't know where to begin or what to say. "What are you here for, Cedric?" Pontius asked, ignoring Lyla and Keira on the seat. "We need to stop them, and I cannot do it without your help. Alpha Derek and his witch are too powerful; think of the evil and harm they will unleash on the packs if they manage to gain control of the silver pack. You do know the silver pack is the heart of the kingdom?"Pontius looked at me. "Haven't you noticed? The power has been broken, and Georgina's father has taken full control. He has killed most of the elders that refuse to bend to his will, and he has even made a pact with the scorpion pack. I think it is best we forget this topic. Why do you think I can do something to stop him?" "We just need the people to turn on him.". I said slowly, trying to be reasonable. "Turn on him? Have you seen the people on your way into the kingdom? They are starving and hungry. They would do anything to eat two square
Lyla's pov As we journeyed back to the Crescent pack, I could remember the last time we went. The argument, the fight I had with Alpha Carlos and Luna. I had wanted to make Alpha Thorn pay in my own ways without thinking about the consequences. The look on my face showed how bad and horrible I felt. I was the cause of their untimely death.I felt a hand on my shoulder, and Keira looked into my eyes. "You need to stop blaming yourself for their death. I think it was meant to happen anyway." She shrugged, looking at my face. "Do you think the elders would want to listen to a woman who had her parents killed?" I stared at her. "I think they would be more willing to hear what the true Alpha would say. Am alpha that would liberate them from the clutches of Alpha Hardy." Beta Cedric said slowly, walking closer to us. "You think so?" I asked, shifting my gaze from Keira to him. "I have heard your story, Billy, and trust me, you have the time to make things right. I think your people need
Georgina Pov I stood as my heart thudded. I was finally at peace when I heard Diana's words. She had followed my plans, and everything was going the way I had wanted. All I needed now was to make Alpha Derek see why she had to be killed, cast aside, or thrown out. But first, I need to undo the magic she has over him. I need to wait and bide my time, or else I am going to fall in the course of trying to bring Diana down. I need to be more about it all. As the day wears on, I manage to stay out of sight. I was about to go to Alpha Derek's room when Diana stopped me. "What are you doing?" She asked, staring at my face. "Nothing," I replied, trying to hide my sweaty palms. "And why is your heartbeat racing this fast?" Diana asked, staring at me. "Maybe because you are scaring the hell out of me." I replied with my gaze fixed on her. I was smart enough to know Diana has the power to read thoughts and emotions. She wanted to place her hands on me, and I dodged it. "Don't worry. I wi
