Keira's pov I looked at my hand and there it was,Thern's hair. I smiled back at Lyla. " Can we go now?" Lyla looked at me and she knew I was acting strange. I needed to cover up my act and get myself together. I let out a soft smile. " I am fine." Then looked at me and back at Lyla. "You girls can go. I will just get myself busy," he said, slowly walking away. "You are in love." I said with a smile. "No, I am not." Lyla replied, and I laughed. A part of me felt like I was betraying her, but Georgina's magic was too strong. "Do you trust him?" I said slowly as Lyla tried to keep up the pace with me. "I do, but I doubt if I could truly trust him. He is.." Lyla paused and looked at me. "He is what?" I paused Lyla's gaze felt on my neck and I quickly hid the necklace around my neck not because I wanted too but because I felt the need too. I was still under Georgina's influence even though I felt the need to be truly to my Alpha."What is that?" Lyla asked, trying to reach for my
Keira’s POVI couldn’t shake off the tension in the air. Even as I left Alpha Thorn’s room, clutching the comb with his hair wrapped in a piece of cloth, I felt Ryker’s eyes burning into my back. My heart hammered in my chest, and I forced myself to keep moving, to look natural, to not show the panic creeping up my throat.Outside, the sky was darkening, the last hints of sunlight disappearing behind the trees. It made everything feel more intense, like the shadows were crawling around me, waiting to expose my secrets. I had to get back to Georgina soon, but first, I needed to figure out a way to throw Lyla off my trail.I know she was definitely going to wait for me till I was done inside Alpha Thorn's room. We share a bond, and I could feel her wolf loitering around right in front of Alpha Thorn's room.“Keira!” Lyla’s voice came out of nowhere, and I nearly jumped out of my skin. I turned to find her standing near the training grounds, her arms crossed. Her eyes narrowed as she too
Kiera's Pov I looked at Georgina and sighed. I have nothing to lose, but then I could avenge the deaths of Alpha Carlos and Luna. They have been kind to me and even accepted me into their home. I remembered how Billy and I had done a lot of things together. Betraying was the last thing on my mind. I knew I needed to be convincing to be able to make Georgina trust me. "Yes, I am ready to forsake everything and everyone that I know. You shall be my only master and the one that commands me." I finally said and bowed before Georgina, who let out a wicked laugh. I looked at her. Bidding my time was the best thing I could do for Lyla. A part of me wanted to let Lyla know what the plan was, but then I wouldn't be able to know how far Georgina was willing to go. I waited until she was true to the concoction she was making. She immediately distilled them into a tub with each name on it. "We need to make the three of them drink this." Georgina looked at me again, and I knew the task was bei
Lyla's pov I could feel Billy right inside of me even though she was dead. I looked across the table, and I was downcast. I tried to remember what had led to the deaths of Alpha Carlos and Luna, and I knew it was my fault. If only I had thought wisely, then maybe just maybe I would have averted their death. I felt a hand hold me softly, and I looked at Thern. He was so loving, and he was always there for me. "He is the right man for you, and you need to stop thinking about him," Violet said again. She hasn't talked to me in a long time after I wolfed out. I looked at Thern's face again, and he smiled. "You are going to bore a hole in me, you know." He said slowly, feeling shy, and I laughed. I have never seen a man that shy. "Can I have everyone's attention, please?" I heard Alpha Thorn clinging to the cup he was holding, and there was decorum. Everyone looked at him expectantly, not sure of what he was going to say. "Well, the dead are gone. A toast to the dead!" he shouted, rais
Lyla's pov I slowly felt my inner wolf weaken. "What is this? What is happening to me?" I said slowly. Am I the only one feeling this way? I looked at Thern and tried to shake him, but he wasn't answering. Is he dead? I picked up the glass cup of wine on the table and smelt it. I perceived a strange smell from it, and I knew it was laced. But with what? Alpha Thorn stood up from his seat and immediately fell backward. Ryker ran towards him with all the elders standing up to their feet. They were all having a worrisome look on their faces. Ryker shot Kiera a serious glance, and I wonder what it was about. Georgina sat down, looking at the unfolding drama. I could see a feeling of satisfaction on her face. She was thrilled to see things going the way. I saw Keira was frightened. I got out of my seat trying to reach for Kiera. "What did you do?" I said slowly as the elders all looked at me, not sure of what happened I landed on the floor and passed out. ***************
Georgina's Pov Everyone looked at Alpha Thorn and Thern as they followed me. I smiled seeing the most powerful two twins drawn to me like a bee to a honey hive. I slowly walked into Alpha Thorn's room and laid on the bed expecting them. I could see the anger in Billy's eyes. She won't have any of them, and I was going to make sure I have her chased out of the pack. I have done it before, and I was going to do it again. The door burst open, and I smiled. "You look different." Alpha Thorn said, slowly taking off his clothes. I could smell the scent of my magic on him, and the alcohol he took added to the potency of the magic. "Take off your pants," I commanded. The feeling was intriguing. I had doubted the potency of the magic, and it has worked wonders. Thern slowly walked in with a cup of wine in his hands. He looked at me, and I could see a part of him that was trying to fight the magic. I knew I had to keep up with the pace or he was going to break free. I got up from the bed an
Lyla's pov Is this it? Is this where I die? I asked myself, looking at the big bad wolf right in front of me. I have never seen Thern in his wolf form. "Kill her!" I heard Georgina command him. "You don't want to do this, Thern. You said you loved me." I said slowly walking back till my back touched the wall behind me. I saw how Thern was slowly fighting the magical portion. I think Georgina must have cast a powerful magic that would make both of them hate me. I don't even know how to break the spell. Ever since I have been in Billy's body, I don't think I have had the chance to get my revenge. I spent most of the time trying to hide from Georgina and the fury of Alpha Thorn. I think it was time I started doing something. I needed to show them I wasn't willing from the crescent pack. My father is Alpha Carlos, and he is not a coward. I could feel Violet's rage and Billy's strength all becoming one inside of me. I yelled as I began my transformation into my own werewolf. The elder
Lyla's pov I opened my eyes in awe. "What are you doing?" I asked as the liquid melted into my mouth. Kiera said nothing but simply walked away. I fell to the ground, gasping for breath. My inners were hot, and I felt like going naked. My eyes bulged at the excruciating pain I was feeling. Why am I feeling this pain? I fell to the ground as I passed out.******************************************************************[FEW HOURS LATER] Is she alright?" I heard a voice, and I opened my eyes gently. I saw a man in a white uniform and an elderly man with him. "Yes, I think she will be fine, but this doesn't look like any orthodox treatment to me. This is magical." The man in white replied I could hear the faint sound of their words, and I closed my eyes again. ******************************************************************[INTO THE SPIRIT WORLD] "Where am I?" I asked myself as I looked around. I was mesmerised by what I was seeing. Everything looks pure, and the world was wi
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
GEORGINA'S POVI was glad when I heard the news. It worked; I had managed to have Thern killed, and when I learned that he has magic, I barely believed it. He was dead, but I couldn't absorb his magic. Diana had taught me everything I needed to know on how to absorb another person's magical powers, but Thern had managed to escape that night. He had come to get a rare flower in the kingdom, and I knew it was for Billy. The thought of having Thern's powers combined with mine was everything I could think about. "I could be more powerful just by absorbing Diana's powers too, and no one will ever look down on me again." I said to myself, But first I need to have Alpha Derek under my control. That was the only way, my ticket to greatness and power. I was now fond of going to meet him in bed. After our first encounter, Alpha Derek wanted me more, and I was also giving him the best. He wanted sex, and I wanted real power. I lackey that would do my bidding and even hang himself when I asked
Lyla's PovThe power Thern had given to me made me feel extraordinary. I could sense my wolf powers in a different way I had never felt before. My sense of hearing was super fast, and I could move things before I could talk. I like what I am now.I stood in front of the full-length mirror and looked at my hair, which was now gray. Thern's power has made it just the way I had wanted it. My eyes also were changed with a touch of purple on my iris. I heard a knock on the door, and Beta Cedric walked in. He looked at me and was short of words. "You look." The words were stuck on his throat. " Different? Yes, but there is still a lot I need to know and master. With great power comes a great responsibility. I am willing to prove myself a good and rightful leader, but first we need to take down Alpha Derek." "We can do that by sending some of my spies. I will have them infiltrate the kingdom and see how strong the armies are, and we need to know more about Diana. She doesn't seem like any
