Analyn POV
My entire life is a lie.
And it only took a few minutes for me to know that.
My father. My sweet, kind, generous father, who also happened to be a great leader, turned out to be someone who was after my family and me.
He stood up to move toward me but stopped.
"I can't move! What did you do to me?" he asked as he froze in place.
"Keeping you glued to the ground until we are done talking. You've got a lot more explaining to do, old man," Ambrose said nonchalantly. Ambrose must be controlling dad with his mind, so he couldn't move now that he was defenseless.
"Dad. I am not a human either. Does that mean you were going to kill me eventually?" I asked. I couldn't stop my voice from trembling.
"I didn't want to. So I convinced the others to spare your life so my wife and I could adopt you. We took you to that witch, so your magic powers will be blocked," dad said.
"And now that they are o
Charlotte POV WhenI first saw Dave, I was afraid, but at the same time, I was mesmerized. He moved with the grace of a panther, determined eyes, and the confidence of a predator. He was like an alabaster god come to life, long and sculpted. He captivated me with his black, soulless eyes. Time stood still when he moved closer to me, his touch woke something in me. Perhaps it was my wolf who had refused to come out no matter how much I willed it to. Will I ever become a true wolf? I had no idea. But the moment our eyes met, I knew I wanted to be his more than anything. He thought I was some silly little naïve girl who wasn't aware of the darkness that loomed over him. But it was quite the opposite. I knew as soon as we met. I've met vampires before, but he wasn't anything like them. His energy was different, and it was evil. He had his eyes on Analyn, and it wasn't because he was in love with her.
Ambrose POV I looked at Theo with surprise. He had put me aside and revealed his 'big news', and my mind was blown. First, the whole thing with Ana's father, and now this? Things were getting crazier and crazier as the days go by. "Say it again, and say it slowly," I ordered. "Charlotte is my mate." "The rogue from the Bloodmoon pack we took in? You do realize that she is pregnant with a vampire's child, and I was planning on punishing her for it?" I grumbled. "Yes, her. I request you to spare her, alpha. She is innocent in all this and I just felt the mate bond with her," Theo said enthusiastically. His blue eyes were sparkling. "And then what? What will you do about the vampire? He has his teeth sunk in the girl and he had marked her with his child. So he will snap your neck if you go near her." "I'm not scared of him. I plan to fight him for her," Theo said. "Impossible!" I stood up. "Do not underest
Analyn POVA few more weeks passed by. Nothing was done about my father yet other than Ambrose throwing him in prison. Then, a rumor about a war between humans and werewolves started circulating. It wasn't too far-fetched as people didn't want to understand why their president was held captive.I should make a statement as his daughter to explain things, but my mental health has been a mess ever since that day.And also, the drama between Charlotte, Dave, and Theo was starting to become a huge issue.Amidst all this chaos, Konrad was starting to show his powers already. I was shocked beyond belief when I saw it for the first time because he is nothing but a toddler!It happened when he was sleeping. I had put him in his crib and proceeded to step out of the room but stopped when I saw something strange at the corner of the room.At first, it looked like a dark blob, so I thought it was just a circular shadow of something. Bu
Theodore POVShe wasn't a stranger. I have seen her from far away before. She was always with our Luna, taking care of her needs. I could tell she was a good girl.But now I knew she was more than that. She was my mate.But I also knew she was trying her best to deny our mate bond. She was fighting it hard, but I won't let her. She will be mine.I caught her on her way somewhere before she could escape. She had been avoiding me. But at least she didn't reject me straight away."Hey, stop!" I barked."I...I need to get back to work," she stammered."No you don't. You need to stay here with me. Stop running away and talk to me," I said and grabbed her wrist."I have nothing to say to you. I have already chosen my mate and that's not you." Charlotte snatched her hand away. It hurt me a little, but I recovered fast."We are fated mates. You can't escape that," I grumbled. I grabbed her waist and pulled her c
Analyn POV "President Sabado, you betrayed your own kind by breaking the peace treaty between humans and the werewolves. What do you have to say about that?" Ambrose's voice was low and deep. I could tell he was seething, his eyes were bright green, but they were on the verge of changing as they glowed from green to amber. "I have nothing to be ashamed of. This world was meant for us humans, not filthy monsters like you!" my father snarled. "Then I have no choice but to execute you," Ambrose announced. The crown surrounding us murmured. I knew Ambrose was angry, but this was a rash decision. I was angry too, but the man still raised me. I couldn't let him die just like that. "You can't!" I protested. "Are you questioning my decision?" he narrowed his eyes. I knew I shouldn't question him since he was the alpha, but this wasn't only the decision to protect his pack. This was about the life of a person who raised
Charlotte POV "Wha...you can't mean that!" I cried out the moment he said I was banished. Alpha Ambrose looked at me with such contempt that it shook me to my core. I had never been so scared in my life, and I had been through beatings and tortures. But, I think what scared me the most was to lose a home. What will happen to me if I get kicked out for the second time? "My words are final," alpha roared. Theodore stepped in front of me. "She is my mate. You can't do that to her. If she leaves, I leave," Theo said. "No! Don't do that. I...I will follow whatever order you give me." I gasped as I felt Dave's arms around me. "You will come home with me," he whispered in my ears. Ambrose's eyes softened, and for once, I thought he was more sympathetic and not full of anger. "I will allow you to stay here until you give birth to your child. After that, you are free to go. You can't be a part of the pack if you choose
Dave POVI stared at her, waiting for her reply.I could sense the storm that was going inside her head trying to figure out who she should choose. It made me furious because if it wasn't for that beta, we wouldn't be in this situation. How can there be any doubt about who she should be with? She was carrying my child. I confessed my love for her!"Well, tell me." I pressed her. "Do you like him? Do you want to be with him? Even if he's supposed to be your destined mate, I want you to be with me.I will treat you like a queen," I said as I stroked her cheeks. "I don't want him," she said. Her voice was soft and meek, her eyes were tearing up again. "Are you sure? I don't want to see you unhappy," I said. "But if you want him too, I'm afraid I have to leave because I don't share," I said firmly."I don't want to be with him. I only want to be with you," she said. She sounded a little more sure this time. "Good, the
Ambrose POVI held Matthew in my hands and stared at him in confusion."What am I supposed to do again?" I narrowed my eyes. "Change him," Analyn said while she absentmindedly brushed her hair."Change what? His clothes are fine," I furrowed my brows."His diaper, silly." Analyn looked at me like I was dumb.Oh hell no...I walked over and held him in front of her face. "I am not doing it. This is your job," I said. I was already feeling crabby from last night because I had to deal with Theo's situation then Ana's father. "Excuse me? MY JOB?" Ana roared, so I quickly walked away. Tonight was a full moon and it was also the day of her father's execution. So she was already on edge and angry at me. She tried to talk to me out of it, but my decision was final. "I got this, jeez," I grumbled and put him down. I had no idea how to do this. "Uh...I should get Sylvia.""No! You have to do this. How
Ten years later..."Kaden, SLOW DOWN!" I cried out as our five year old child Kaden continued to terrorize everyone. I watched what went down in front of me, not sure how to handle our son, while Matthew and Konrad stood in the distance, stuffing their face with pizza, "Why aren't you stopping him!" I looked at them and roared.I was four months pregnant with Matthew's daughter Misty, so I was too hormonal and grumpy to deal with our demon child, who had now transformed into a dragon, spitting fire at everyone and everything."BURN, BURN, BURN!" Kaden chanted joyously.Ah, he was his father's son, alright. "Konrad! Do something!" I glared at Konrad."He is just having fun," he said nonchalantly.I turned my attention back to Matthew. "Then you stop him!"Matthew stopped eating his pizza and looked at me like he had no idea what I was talking about. "Huh? What do you mean? Why do I have to get him? It's Konrad's spawn of hell. Let him punish Kaden.""Because I already know Konrad, and
Sophia POV Is this really happening? Or is this a dream? I wondered as Matthew carried me to his bedroom. Tonight was finally the night I was to be mated to Matthew. I'd been thinking about it all day and let's just say my anxiety level was through the roof! "Don't be scared, Sophia. I won't hurt you. You trust me, don't you?" Matthew said gently. "I do," I whispered. Matthew put me on the floor gently. I felt like his piercing green eyes could look inside my soul and I felt nervous again. But it wasn't because I was scared of him. I could feel the heat between my legs as I watched him take his shirt off. I want him, and I can't even deny it to myself. [Holy hell, this guy is hot. I wonder how his wolf would feel when he buried his cock into you], my wolf cooed inside me, making me redder than a tomato. [Shut up! You will ruin the moment,] I hissed. I wasn't usually lusting over men like this, but for some reason, I could hardly contain myself now. I must be in heat. Matthew
Matthew POV Konrad was angry with me. He didn't want me to fight him about who gets to have Sophia first tonight. He wanted me to give her up without argument, but I didn't want to let her go this easily. They say fighting doesn't solve anything. So we both agreed with my mom's idea of finding the flowers in the forest. It shouldn't be too hard, right? "You will never find it. You barely spend any time in the woods," Konrad scoffed. "That's where you are wrong, brother. I may not roam around in the forest like a wild animal and waste my time there, but I still know a lot about it. I can also speak to other animals and ask them for direction." Konrad growled at me. "You can't ask other animals in the forest about the flower bush. That's cheating." "That's not cheating. Nobody said we couldn't do that!" I exclaimed. "And I bet the creatures in the woods will be more willing to help me because all you did was find new ways to torture them. So they already hate you." I smirked. "Fuc
Sophia POVGosh, I was having a nice quiet time in my room, eating a big bowl of chocolate ice cream, but of course, I got roped into their sibling bullshit.Again."What's happening?" I mumbled."Konrad and I are going to decide who gets to be with you tonight for your first time, once and for all," Matthew announced."Excuse me? I thought I already told you that it is up to me and not you. I get to decide who will be my first," I put my bowl down and snarled."Well...have you decided?" Konrad asked."No.""Well, there you go. You don't even know how to decide yet. So we are going to settle it. Then you won't have to make any kind of decision," Matthew said, deciding.These Neanderthals are going to be the end of me."And how are you going to settle this, may I ask? And why did you bring me here? We were not supposed to see each other until tonight anyway," I said irritably. All I wanted was to eat my ice cream in peace and read a good book. And maybe take a nice warm bath later. I s
Konrad POV "Gone? What do you mean gone?" my father roared. "Valentina ran away with Callan," Matthew murmured. Shit, that bastard had really done it this time. It had been a few days since the day Callan disappeared with Sophia's sister and then was brought back from the demon world by me. Ever since then, I lost contact with him, but it turned out he didn't lose connection with Valentina. Cheeky bastard. Although I was angry initially because Matthew and I had been protecting Valentina from Callan's lusty eyes for decades, I decided I'd learn to accept their sudden elope. Callan might be a complete moron, but Valentina? She was not dumb. If she went against our father and chose Callan, she knew what she was doing. Father's face turned dark, and I could tell he was trying his best not to explode in anger. "I see. I thought Sophia's sister was his mate. Why did that hooligan take my daughter?" "He rejected his mate for Val," Matthew interjected. However, he didn't seem all that
Callan POVWas she teasing me again?I held my breath as Valentina led me into her room."What are you planning on doing? Are you trying to seduce me, Ms. Vikander?" I joked.Valentina said nothing. A mysterious smile teased her lips instead, and her green eyes twinkled. Goddamn, she was just so...How did I get so lucky to be in the same room with this gorgeous creature? I didn't even use my Incubus magic on her!That meant she wasn't forced to bring me here. That means she actually likes me."You are awfully quiet. Nervous?" Valentina said and giggled mischievously."Nervous? Me? Don't be silly. I am half incubus. I get girls left and right," I said dismissively. Okay, that came out bad, but it wasn't like I was having sex with them for fun only. I literally needed to have sex to feed myself."That stops now," Valentina's voice was bizarrely melodious, making my head swim."Your sexual conquest stops here," Valentina repeated."No, Val. You don't understand. I need sex to stay stron
Valentina Today was the big day—my date with Callan. I shouldn't be nervous. I told myself that it was only Callan that I had a date with, that I knew him and shouldn't panic. I grew up with him and I'm pretty sure we were naked in baths at some point! But it didn't work. The second he arrived on my doorstep, standing there with his silvery white hair reaching down to his waist, and winning smile, I was a goner. It was game over to my lady parts. It shouldn't be allowed to be so handsome. Callan's imperfections only seemed to make him look even more tempting. "Callan!" I exclaimed. "Hi!" I hope he couldn't hear my heart that was unnaturally fast and loud. A grin spread over his lips. "Good morning." Not sure what to say next, I simply absorbed him. He wore casual clothing, jeans, and a grey t-shirt with a rock hanging around his neck. A smile spread over his lips as he caught me looking, and I got butterflies when he sized me up. "You look nice," Callan said. "Beautiful, actu
Callan POV 'Life should never be taken too seriously. We only live once, so why not laugh and have fun while we are here?' —I breathed that motto. Because of it, friends had always come easy to me. I was popular. What could I say? I was a fun guy to be around. Even girls flocked me, but mainly because of my appearance. Being half incubus had it's advantages I guess. But honestly, that kind of sucked.I wasn't stupid. I had eyes and knew I wasn't half-bad to look at. I took care of myself, worked out more than once per week, and my mother called me handsome, so I had that going for me.But I wanted to make a connection, and there was only one person I was drawn to. Only one person made my heart perform somersaults, and the same person also made me dumb.Valentina. The only crush I had ever had. My body wanted her while my soul craved her. But she never looked at me the way I wanted her too. It was as if she was immune to my incubus allure. She looked at me like I was one of her br
Sophia POVI watched Valentina as she moved around the battleground. For some reason, she was having a hard time focusing. She looked nervous. She was usually the most enthusiastic one in the battleground!"Where is your head today, Val? You let Patrick beat you twice already!" Matthew barked.Valentina jolted as if Matthew's voice startled her. "I...I don't know. I guess I didn't have enough sleep last night," she murmured.Hmm...something was wrong with her, I could feel it."Valentina, if you are not feeling well, you should go lie down," I said gently.It has been a week since the ordeal with Liz and Callan. Konrad went to the demon world and opened a portal so Callan and Liz could come back. After that, he let Liz escape and told them never to set foot in this territory again.Because if Alpha Ambrose found out, everyone, including Konrad, would be punished for helping. And none of us wanted that.Maybe Valentina is upset about Callan leaving, I thought to myself.They seemed pre
