LYLA POV I looked back, and I saw that it was my handmaiden. "Sure, but promise me you aren't going to tell my father whatever happens tonight." I said with a stern look on my face."Can you please tell me what is going to happen?" She asked back, and I could see she was scared. "You can go back if you think you don't have the stomach for it. What is your name again?" I looked at her face. " Keira." She spoke slowly with fear. "I am not asking you to come with me, Keira. You can stay back if you wish too." I replied and walked straight towards the guards. Keira strolled by my side as I walked fast. "Slow down, princess." I heard Keira calling to me. I was stopped by one of the guards who was stationed just outside the door into the silver moon palace. "This place is off limits." One of the guards said, blocking my path with the torch he was holding. "Do you even know who this is?" Keira shouted at them, raising her voice. I was shocked. I looked at her and wondered what had come o
THORN'S POV I was mesmerized by the woman standing right in front of me, but I dare not show it. Not with Georgina beside me. I could feel my inner wolf drawn to the lady right in front of me. " Mate!" My inner wolf shouted out loud.I had never taken Bradley seriously. I wasn't going to be like my father, who was just married to a Luna. I wanted as many beautiful women as I could find. "Who is she?" I looked at Georgina, who sensed something might be wrong. "This is Billy, the daughter of the Crescent Moon Pack." She replied, her gaze fixed on Thorn. "What is she doing here?" Thorn asked still, his gaze not leaving Lyla, who was having a scared look. "She came to give you your Alpha coronation gift." Keira said with a smile and looked back at her. "Where is it?" She stretched out her hand to receive it, but the look on Lyla's face made her face her front. "If you are not here to give me my coronation gift, then what are you here for?" I asked with anger. I looked at my wristwatc
LYLA POV I looked at Alpha Carlos face, and I could see the anticipation in his eyes. I bit my lips, and I gave Keira a stern look that meant I was going to kill him if we ever returned home. "Will someone tell me what is going on?" Alpha Carlos said again amidst the noise of jubilation. "She has wolfed out, and I think her mate is Alpha Thorn." Kiera said with her head bowed to the floor. " What? Are you saying Billy is mated to the crowned Alpha?" Luna asked with a glint if happiness in her eyes Kiera nodded her head without looking at my face. She knew I was angry. "I can't believe you have finally found your mate after several years. I think we should start to plan your marriage with Alpha Thorn." Alpha Carlos said with a smile on his face. "What is this? After everything I went through, how do I explain any of this?" I, soliloquy to myself. "Was this the Moon goddess plan yet again? I had managed to come back to life only to be mate to the same man who had me killed in my p
THORN POV For the first time in my life, I felt my inner wolf cry out in pain. The words "no." stung my heart as I looked at my CHOOSEN mate walk out on me. "Was this how Lyla felt when I said I didn't want her as a mate?" The thought flooded my mind. Billy had not only disgraced me but also weakened my position as the new Alpha of the three kingdoms, and I wasn't going to let it slide."We are sorry, Alpha Thorn. I don't know what came over her. I am going to talk to her and have her dragged down if I must." Alpha Carlos said trying to be nice. I looked around, and I saw the look of horror on the people's faces. The shame was just too much. "You had better tell her that if she doesn't come back here of her own will by the end of the week, she is going to give me no choice, and I would have to act of my own free will." I shouted and walked out of the coronation room with people staring at me. I think was the first Alpha that was going to be rejected by his mate. I saw the look on
LYLA'S POV "That smell—what is that?" I said slowly getting up from the floor. I tried to look around, but everywhere was dark. "Where the hell am I?" I asked again. My head hurts. I winced as I tried to remember what happened. "I was drinking with..." My brain went into a frenzy mode as I tried to recall what I was doing before all of this. The more I tried to remember, the more my head hurt. I finally decided to switch the light on, and then what I saw made me puke. I threw up all over the floor as I looked at the horror right before my eyes. I remembered a young girl killing a lot of people on the first day she wolfed out. I wasn't ready yet; I still have a few months before I finally wolf out, but here I was, in the pool of blood with my kills as I believed it to be. "I can't...it is not possible." I fidget with the words. I looked at my white clothes, and I saw they were soaked with blood. With trembling feet, I walked towards the corpses, trying to see who they wereI froz
LYLA'S POV Georgina looked at me and she Iaughed. She had managed to play the good friend, No, the best friend actually. I was so gullible that I didn't see through her. Georgina had always had eyes for Thorn since they were kids but she was surprised when Alpha Derrick chose me over her, ignoring her feelings for Thorn. Georgina has always dreamt of that day she will become the Luna of the Silver moon pack. I even heard that she had a dress made for the coronation and here was a lowlife like me stealing her spot. She looked at me again and smirked. " I am not going to let you have him. Over my dead body." Georgina spat with venom in her voice " Please Georgina.I am sorry. Can you tell me what this is all about." I pleaded " What? You killed them. Your finger prints are all over the crime scene and it is only a matter of time before your head is chopped off. You should have known your place,Lyla. You are a nobody and you will always will. Nobody is going to remember you."
LYLA'S pov " Really? I have been too lenient with you!" Thorn shouted with anger. " Do you think I don't know what to do to a lowlife like you? You killed my father and after getting caught, you decide to pin it on her,my best friend!" " You need to believe me. I have no hands in your father's death." I pleaded once more. I was beginning to grow tired of pleading. My eyes were sore,I barely slept all through the night in the dungeon " What do you have to say about this?" The servant said thrusting a knife down at my feet. " This isn't mine. I would never kill the alpha with a sword." I said with pain " Is that your way of saying you killed him?" Georgina's voice ran through the dungeon and she kept quiet again " You are going to be trial and when found guilty, I am going to have your head on a spike." Thorn said and turned away without looking at my face Thorn was pained,pissed. The only man that meant a lot to him was dead. It was only a matter of time before the nei
Brian Pov I looked at Thorn and I knew he was in pain but he was taking it out on the wrong people. I watched Georgina and saw evil in her eyes. She was different and not the same girl I had grown up with. The hall was quiet and nobody said anything. " Now back to why we are here." Thorn said,taking a seat on his father's throne. " She killed my father and I have the evidence to show you all. Get that off my sight!" he roared as the guards walked in to clear the carcass of the dead elders. " What do you want to do,Alpha Thorn?" Another elder asked from the crowd. " It looks like you made up your mind anyways." " My best friend here was with her all through the night before she disappeared. I am sure she wanted to kill the Alpha and rule the kingdom." Thor said with disdain in my voice " We follow the rules. Anyone who kills a member of the pack must die!" Elder Hardy said looking at me Georgina walked toward him and said some words into his ears. I wonder why Thorn was
