Ryder's POV

I lunged at the disoriented Elder Hugh, the man that I once trusted, with my claws heading straight for his neck as I let out a loud growl of anger.

The old man, fear shown vividly in his eyes, turned to the side with so much swiftness that it looked graceful, dodging my intended attack. I lunged myself at him again, slashing vehemently as I beared him only to have myself swiping the air as Elder Hugh, still visibly startled, moved out of reach of my claws.

"I gave you my fucking trust, Elder Hugh," I growled loudly as I crouched down, my voice reverberating through the small room.

My sharp claws created long trails of splinters on the wooden floor as I ran my hands impatiently over them. My body itched to attack and my wolf was thirsty for blood. "I gave you my trust only to have you throw it in the trash."

"Prince Hudson, please," the elder pleaded as he slowly backed away from me. Fear and regret was displayed in his eyes as he continued, "I was only doing it for your

    Aria's POV"You said that you met the guardians?" Desiree asked as she stared menacingly at me. "What guardians are you talking about? Which guardians are you referring to?"I stared at the Beta, dumbfounded with no words in my mouth to give to her. I turned to Ma Levine to see if I could get any direction from her on what to say but she too looked as disoriented as I did. Seeing that she too was in a state of confusion, I decided to tell the Beta the truth. I turned to Desiree and just when I was about opening my mouth to talk, Ma Levine said, "she believes that she has been visited by some people that she deem to be guardians. But I took some test on her yesterday and found out that she had just seen what she saw because of how suck she was." Ma Levine chuckled before adding, "you know how life as an Omega can be. She was exposed to something that caused her to get sick and imagine these things.""If you believe that what she saw was nothing but mere illusions, how come she has com

    Aria's POV"The first she-wolf that was blessed to become the Luna of the first Alpha was visited by three women," Ma Levine began. "These three women were known to be servants of the Moon Goddess. They were not just servants but daughters of the moon goddess too."These guardians blessed the first Luna, granting her all of the wishes that she asked of them and making her the most powerful she-wolf of her time. These guardians have now been passed on from Luna's down to their successors, helping them in their endeavors as the role of mate to alphas."Ma Levine finished with her story and as she did, stood from where she bent with the pruning shears on her hand. I watched as she returned to the flowers and continued on with her work.I still had a lot of questions to ask but I decided to just ask Ma Levine one."Why were you trying to hide the fact that I was visited by these guardians from Beta Desiree?" I asked. Shrugging, Ma Levine answered, "it isn't everyone who would be happy he

    Hudson's POVI raised my knuckles over Elder Parker's door before softly bringing it down on the thin frame with a light knock. I adjusted the my coat again to make sure that it hid my bloodstain collar before returning my attention to the door again. I waited patiently for a response and after receiving none, was about knocking on the door again when I heard a soft click on the other side. I brought my hand down and quickly took a glance at my shirt again to make sure that the blood on it wasn't visible.I brought my eyes back to the door as it creaked open. I wore a smile quickly on my face as I caught sight of Elder Parker's face from behind the door. He looked shock to see me here."Prince Hudson," the confused Elder said in his deep gruff voice as he fully opened the door. "I wasn't expecting your visit," he continued as he now put on a calm demeanor. "Is there any problem? Is the Lycan King okay?"Good morning, Elder Parker," I greeted before giving the elder a short bow. Noddi

    Aria's POVI stood upright with my face turned upwards and my shoulder relaxed and straight as I watched the long chef hat of the infamous Madam Theresa approach me. Her face was still hidden in the sea of cooks in front of me, given me enough time to compose myself the more.The sound of a lady shouting at my right though caught my attention and I turned to see what was happening. The shout had come from a woman who seemed to be given directions to one of the cooks stirring a bowl of what looked to be stew. "Chef Zhenna," I heard a strange voice say and I turned my attention sharply back to my front. All of my composed demeanor dropped as I jerked in fright upon seeing a bony face staring at me."Oh, my gosh," I half-shouted as I quickly took three steps backwards while holding my beating chest. I turned to the person who had startled me and, with a frown on my face, said, "you almost scared me to..." I paused, my eyes widening as I saw the chef hat upon the persons head.The infamo

    Hudson's POV"The Lycan King has a new Luna now?" Elder Parker muttered as his eyes widened with surprise. "When did that happen? And why did he not tell the council of elders about this... this news?""I have no idea, Elder Parker," I muttered with a sigh as I ran my fingers over the armrest of my seat. I looked up at the elder and said, "but something gives me the impression that he was hiding this news from the council because he knew how wrong his choice of a Luna was. Even Elder Hugh agreed with me when I relayed this story to him.""You've told Elder Hugh this?" the elder asked with a frown as he leaned forward from his seat. I blinked twice upon seeing his reaction but then nodded. The moment I heard him ask me this, I began contemplating if I had chosen the right action by telling him this. But then it occured to me that Elder Hugh was now dead. A small smile crept up my face as a devious plan formed in my head, a plan to finally get every move on the chessboard to be in my f

    London's POVThe morning sun shone down upon me from the stained glass window above the room. I placed my hands over my eyes with a small growl before motion ing to the omega behind me to go close the window. As the omega went on to carry my orders, I turned to Elsa, my Luna, who was seated on the throne placed beside mine and asked, "and where is this trustworthy wolf, Elsa? You know I don't like it when my time is wasted.""He'll be here soon," Elsa replied me with a small smile, one that I knew to be faked. I was really maddened by the absence of the wolf Elsa had called and I knew expressing that anger on Elsa would do me no good so I decided to keep quiet and wait. The wolf still had about a few minutes before I would deem him dead.Elsa then suggested that since I was waiting for the wolf she called, it would best for us to enter the mattees that the pack had at hand. I knew this to be more stress to my already stressed morning but she was right. Me not answering my people wou

    London's POV"Give me a solid reason why I should not tear you limb from limb, wolf," I muttered to the wolf as he slowly approached my throne. I held my hands up, stopping him before he could reach the steps leading to the podium where we sat. Bringing my hand down, I continued, "I prefer you say whatever excuse you have to say fast. I don't have time.""I, uh, got caught up with something last night before Luna Elsa called," the man answered with a grunt as he softly rubbed his bandaged arm. "I had to... um... take care of it before coming here.""Hmmm," I grunted. Pointing to his injured arm, I asked, "is that what made you come late? Is that what was so important that you had to take care of before answering the call sent out to you?""It... it isn't like that, Alpha London," the wolf mumbled as he lowered his gaze to the ground. "But you're right. It was not enough for me to leave your call." He fell down to his knees and placed his good arm over his head, trembling as he mutter

    London's POVI stared at the grandfather clock standing beside the fireplace. The damn thing had stopped working when I was seven. I had asked my father to fix it when I found out that it was broken but my father refused to do so. According to him, old things needed to be thrown out and forgotten. I guess that was why he didn't shed a single tear or show any emotion when my mother died.I liked the ticking sound from the grandfather clock. I loved my mum."You called for me, Alpha London," I heard someone say. The voice pulled me out of my thoughts and I turned to the door. Standing by the entrance was Amanda. Composing myself, I stood from my bed and motioned for her to come in. The young she-wolf smacked the gum that she was chewing before slowly shaking her head. "I know how crazy that Luna of yours is, Alpha London" she said as she placed her hands on the door. "If that is what you're asking me to do, then I'm sorry but I don't think I can.""Amanda," I called before she could

    Ryder’s POV“Hudson!!!" I growled as I stood from my hiding place. My voice boomed across the valley, echoing off the cliffs as I emerged from our hiding place, my daughter cradled safely in my arms. "You're fucking doomed." Hudson's expression twisted into a mix of surprise, anger and confusion as he saw me. The reality of what was happening then hit him as he saw my warrior wolves jumping out of the shadows and rushing out towards he and his guards. It took a lot of fighting and the loss of some of my warriors but we were finally able to bring down all of Hudson's wolves and also subdue him. As they chained him too, I walked over to him, holding my daughter close to my chest."Hudson," I said, my voice filled with disappointment as I stared at him. "All the while you showed me evil, I trusted you like a brother. Only to have you betray me by attacking me and kidnapping my daughter." Hudson didn't give me a reply as he glared at me with rage in his eyes. I could see that he had no

    Ryder's POV"I.. I actually am happy that you've finally coke back to me," Aria said as she smiled for the first time since our son's adoption. I still marveled at how perfect her teeth were. "And I am happier that you took my back," I replied, extending my hands to her. As I caressed it, I stared into her eyes and smiled. "I really, really am happy." The entire room seemed to be light up as Aria softly laughed. It was a sound I so much missed.Suddenly, her smile dissipated, a slight frown replacing it. I squeezed her hands softly and scooted closer to her. I didn't need anyone to tell me why her mood had changed. "Do not worry, Aria. I would comb the breadth and depth..." I was cut short by a loud knock on the door. Laying kisses on her forehead, I got up from.the bed and walked to the door. "Who is it?" I asked, a hint of frustration in my voice as I placed my hands on the doorknob. "It's Harold, Prince Ryder," came a familiar voice. I grunted and opened the door to see who it w

    Desiree's POVI quickly collected the horse from Jason, ignoring the questions he was asking me. Quickly, I mounted the horse and whipped the reins, causing it to sprint out of the compound. I quickly turned my horse down the path that I knew led to the small shed Hudson had gone to. I kept on whipping my horse, not wanting to waste any time. I needed to get there fast if I really wanted my plans to work.It didn't take too long for me as I finally took notice of a familiar row of sunflower along the pathway I rode. It has been planted a year earlier by some servants as instructed by Hudson. It had started drizzling, but the ray of sunshine remained firm and colourful. I recalled the stores told to me when I was little that when such was happening, it meant the moon goddess was punishing a pack for sins that they had committed towards her. I didn't believe sigh anymore. I finally reached the small gate leading to the shed and saw a guard standing by it. He sighted me and quickly wi

    Desiree's POVMy heart raced as I rushed through the compound gate. I needed to inform Ryder about my findings.I quickly surveyed the surrounding path, and after seeing no one, I moved towards the palace. I had not notified anyone about me leaving that mansion and I knew if Hudson was to learn about that, he would be suspicious of me. I didn't want to drag any attention to me so I reduced my pace, walking stealthily into the mansion. It wasn't until I overheard a maidservants telling the other that Hudson had ridden to his shed in the woods that I finally relaxed. As I walked, I thought of what would happen once I told Ryder the good news I held for him. I wasn't too concerned about what he would do though. I was much more concerned about what Aria would do. She had promised me that she would pack and leave the moment her stupid child was found and that was what I expected from her. If she did, I'd finally have Ryder to myself. Upon arriving at the palace, I received the referenc

    Desiree's POV"We were ambushed and... they kidnapped my daughter," Ryder explained to me, his voice cracking a bit. I could hear from his tone that he was pained and angered by what had happened to he and Aria. Why wasn't he thinking about me? Aria and Ryder had arrived not up to an hour ago and Aria had retreated to her room to cry her eyes out. Ryder had decided to come to his study to think and luckily, I was waiting for him. His conversation though was not one I was expecting to be having with him. "Do you know who took her?" I asked, pretending to be concerned, even though deep down, I was filled with anger. "Was there any clue left behind by the wolves that may lead us to her?" "I... I don't know," Ryder admitted, frustration evident in his voice. He grunted and ran a hand through his hair as he shook his head. He looked down at the drink I had brought for him and I could see in his eyes that he wanted to take it. "But... but I have to find her. I lost Aria once. I can't be

    Ryder's POV We had long begun our journey in silence, the only sound filling the air being the sound of our horse's hooves trotting softly against grass and the racket our carriage wheels made as it made it's way through the forest. The children too added to the list as they played and laughed loudly. Apart from all these, the carriage seemed silent. My gaze turned to Aria, a sense of guilt filling up within me as I stared at her. She had turned to the window and was staring at the passing trees. It was obvious that her mind was somewhere else and I wondered what it was that she was thinking about. Was it me? Was she having regrets?I opened my mouth to speak but nothing came out. I just didn't know what to say. Taking in a deep breath, I turned from her and began tapping my feet on the floor restlessly, trying my best to muster my courage."What is it?" I heard her say and I quickly turned to her. Her gaze had not left the window."Look, Aria, I'm... I'm really, really sorry," I sa

    Ryder's POVThe morning came as quickly as the night went by and the rays of sun did more than wake me up, it also brought back bad memories. Memories of how I had treated Aria when all she had ever done was care for me, memories of how I should have heard her out a bit more, or protected her regardless of not knowing the origin of her pregnancy. I was nothing without her and her leaving ended up being undoubtedly detrimental to me. How did i not see that until now? But then, i probably did and decided on being more in denial. Due to the fact that it was already late yesterday, Alpha Kael had asked that I slept in before leaving with Aria. It wasn't something I wanted as it itched me to take Aria back home but I couldn't say nom He had taken me to my room, insisting that I don't sleep with Aria. I couldn't blame him. He was her father after all.I slowly sat up from bed, my right hand travellimg to my eyes as I began rubbing them to get them free from the haziness that had ensued th

    Hudson's POVI walked out of the mansion and turned towards the path that led to the stable at the back. Sure enough, I found Jason there, attending to the horses inside. He was so focused on what he was doing that he didn't notice my presence.I made to enter the stable but then stopped as I sighted a a clump of horse dung at the front. I looked down at the ground and saw that there were a lot surrounding the area. I wasn't sure I wanted to have my shoes get stained with any. Taking a step back from the stable door, I called out to Jason from outside. "Jason," I shouted as I shoved my hands into the pockets of my jean trousers. "Jason," I called out again after seeing that he had not heard my first call.Jason looked up, startled, and turned to the cabin door. He sighted me standing outside and immediately wipes his dirty hands on his jeans before walking slowly to the barn door. "Alpha Hudson," he said as he bowed his head low. "Is there any problem, alpha?" I gave Jason a small n

    Aria's POVRyder stared at me for a few moments before rushing towards me. I dropped my kids to the ground in fear, thinking he was going to attack me but, to my greatest surprise, he enveloped me in a tight hug the moment he reached me. I didn't know what to do so I just stood there motionless as he began whispering words of apology. "I'm sorry, Aria," he whispered as he placed his head on my blossom. "I really really am so sorry." I didn't know what to say or do at that moment. What was he sorry about? And what was he even doing here in the first place? I heard the shuffling of feet behind me and turned slightly to see my father stand from his throne and begin to walk towards I and Ryder. He was confused but had not reacted to Ryder's sudden hug. I assumed it was because I wasn't protesting that he kept cool. "What is happening here?" he asked with a frown on his face as he paused at the last step of the podium on which his throne sat. "Prince Ryder," he called out to Ryder and I
