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
Analyn POVI watched Ambrose attack my father in his wolf form. He pounced at my father, who had no fighting chance, and then he tore his throat out. I couldn't say anything as my father lay on the ground, his throat making a gurgling sound as fresh blood gushed out from his gaping wound. He choked on his blood for a few more minutes then went still. "You did it...you killed my father," I whispered."He wasn't your father," Theo said. He didn't even flinch when that happened. No one did. I guess these types of things weren't uncommon for werewolves.Beasts, as my father called them."He raised me, so he was still my father," I insisted. I looked at Ambrose. He was still in his wolf form as he stared at me. His intense green eyes were boring into mine. Blood matted his fur. ~ Don't be sad, Ana. He was the bad guy, so I killed him,~ his wolf spoke to me. But why was it so hard for me to accept? Ambro
Dave POV The beta roared and tackled me to the ground. Yup...we were back at it again, fighting over Charlotte. It all started when she gave him the bad news. I was watching them in secret. I had turned myself into a cat and sat on the tree while witnessing Charlotte deliver the bad news to Theodore. It was satisfying to watch him get angry. "I...I reject you. I love Dave, and I want to be with him. And not because he is the father of my child. I loved him before that," she had told him.Ah, those sweet words could melt my icy heart. Theodore's face twisted into anger. He reached out and grabbed her shoulders. "You can't reject your mate. What will happen when that vampire leaves you? I won't take you back then."Leave her? I planned to hold on to her until I turned into dust."I'm so sorry, Theo," Charlotte said. "I can't be with you when I'm in love with somebody else.""You heard her,
Ambrose POV Ana has been acting distant since she saw my wolf kill her father. I don't blame her but it has been a few months since then, so shouldn't she get over it by now? She still let me be intimate with her but our relationship wasn't as playful as it was before. She hates me, I thought to myself one day and it bothered me more than I thought it would. But how do I convince her that killing him was the right thing to do? Things turned hostile between the werewolves and the general public too. Humans already looked at us like dirtbags before but things were much worse now. They downright hated us. They weren't directly mean to us because they still feared us, but once in a while, I heard them make hateful comments directed at us. The new president agreed to keep the original pact between the humans and werewolves since they didn't know about Ana's true origin. We planned on keeping that secret for now. If they found out Ana wasn't
Analyn POV I expected Ambrose to refuse my school idea so I mentally prepared myself to be firm about it. I could tell he wasn't happy about it after he agreed with me but as least he went along with me.I had been watching him since that dreadful night, because something about him was different. I could tell the president's death wasn't enough for him. He wanted more.I told Sylvia about my concern but she looked at me with confusion. "You are worried about him? Why?""He will hurt people. He talked about taking over the world when we first met," I said. Sylvia chuckled. "He was just a teenager then. I heard him say that before but I thought he was just saying that. He shouldnt attack innocent beings.""Are you sure about that? Because he STILL talks about it and he is way more powerful than before. If he wanted to, he could get other werewolves on his side and destroy everyone that gets in his way!" I exclaimed. Sy
Ambrose POV ~Are you sure he is here? No one seems all that suspicious to me.~ Logan said as he linked with me.~I can sense him. He is nearby. Let's keep looking,~ I ordered both Logan and Theo. I had summoned them whether feeling the strong presence of the drider. It took me a while to convince alpha Alec. He didn't want me and my pack to sniff around in his territory. I didn't blame him because I was acting rather suspiciously. But it wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. I could sense him, but it wasn't constant. I was confused because how could he hide amongst the werewolves? There was no way a giant spider monster could hide here. Alpha Alec's territory didn't have massive woods like mine. But there was a small forest in the back. Werewolves liked to be close to that for obvious reasons. Also, there were few houses and stores in the neighborhood near a lake. The last time I checked, the drider liked to nest in a big cave, but
