Zeus's POV;

I paced around in my office, pondering over my conversation with her and how strangely she had acted in my presence. I wondered if I was too hasty in telling her to marry me.

You fool!

I sighed and expelled a breath. I told her that I was going to see her after the meeting with a few council members, but now that I think about it, I might have ruined the chance to get her to like me.

When she heard that I was the Alpha king, she had acted strangely, not like she was scared of me, more like indifferent and she had agreed to marry me that quickly.

I was waiting for Ronan. He was supposed to be supervising the ongoing work at the newly built college, but I needed to talk to someone and there was no one I trusted more than him.

Just then, the office door opened and he stepped in, his eyes laced with worry and my brows pulled together into a frown, my mouth parting slowly.

"How's she?" he questioned before

I couldn't say anything as he plopped onto the sofa.

"What's wrong? I ha

She was my slave, it is only proper for me to come to wish her well and offer some words of—-"I gritted my teeth and clenched my fist tightly at her words. She had emphasized the word 'slave'"Miss Vivian, I suggest you leave now as your presence was never in any way needed. The king will communicate to Alpha Vivian and Alpha Smith whatever punishment he seeks for you," Ronan cut in, noticing my rage.I heaved a sigh as I unclenched my fist. I was going to make them pay, and that was a promise.Suddenly, she fell to her knees, making Selene who had gone to sit on the sofa without looking at her turn around. I could see the panic in her eyes before it was quickly replaced with a look of indifference."Your Highness, please. I am sorry. I had no idea that she was your mate. I was only trying to d

    SELENE POV Maybe he couldn't bear to see me hurt when all he needed from me was to sate his pleasures."I could leave if you prefer to be alone," he said after a while and I popped my head up to glance at him to see that he had turned on his heel and was now facing the door, his back to me.I must've been so lost in my thoughts that I didn't notice that he had stood up and walked to the door."You can stay."He spun around, his eyes widening and his lips parting slightly before he quickly masked his surprise with a boyish grin.Even I was surprised at myself.He took a step forward and with each step he took, my heart began to flutter wildly in my chest."Thank you, Selene."I opened my mouth to speak but swallowed hard as I nodded instead. I was surprised that he was thanking me."I had somewhere urgent to be this morning, that was why I missed breakfast."I nodded, resisting the urge to tell him that I was fine. It was the best breakfast that I had eaten in a long time."Does anywh

    SELENE POV "Who's there?" I tried to sound as calm as possible, but I was sure that my voice came out laced with nervousness."Come on Selene, let me in."I spun around just as I heard the door open, and to my surprise, she was gone, and all I saw was my reflection.A wave of disappointment washed over me."I guess you're not ready yet." His tone was calm, but underneath, it was disappointing,g, and I swallowed hard as I realized that he had seen the look on my face."No," I blurted out, ignoring my raging emotions and the many questions that I had.I raised my head at him to see that he was holding a tray that had a small cake in it."This is a thank you," he said as soon as he saw that I was looking at the cake and I collected it and placed it on the nightstand. I wanted to ask him what he was thankful for, but I didn't care."It's good to see you looking so well. I um—I brought you something," he looked nervous and I wondered what it was that he brought to have made him look like

    Alpha Zeus POV There was a knock again and I groaned with frustration as I peeled the phone away from my ear."Come in," I called out, wondering who it was to have disturbed me so early in the morning and still annoyed that the guards had disobeyed my instruction.After the incident of the previous day, I was pretty sure that Ben was up to no good and it scared me to think that he was going to harm Selene. I figured that she must've been startled and went to meet her later that day, but she was still the same, indifferent and unbothered. She was like a zombie, only that she wasn't rotting.I was still thinking of a suitable punishment for Orion and his new mate. I heard from Ronan that they had gone ahead with the mating ceremony, but it was a small ceremony.The door opened and Ronan walked in and sat on the chair right in front of me."I was going through those documents and didn't need any disturbance," I didn't bother to hide my annoyance and he glanced at the documents. It was

    Alpha Zeus POV"Alpha Fred is smart and you can't underestimate Ben. He's always been the smartest amongst us. They must've already thought about the possibility of me interfering and there are measures for that," I paused and walked to the window, shoving my hands deep into my pocket as I took in the beauty of the view."They might spin the narrative around and make it seem like a mere accusation.""But—""For now, we watch and see whatever is going on before doing anything.""Oh Man! And I was so happy and getting prepared to show my new skills," he stood up and began to throw punches in the air."What do I do to make her trust me? She acts very polite and Formal around me. I've told her to trust me, I've shown her nothing but care. Nothing is working!""I think teaching Orion and his wife a lesson will help you.""Well, you have any idea?"After what seemed like an eternity of us staring at each other, he grinned widely and my brows pulled into a frown."I do have a plan.

    Alpha Zeus POV She was dressed in an elegant dark red strapless bodycon dress that hugged her body like a second skin, accentuating her curves. She was walking towards me, and with each step she took, my heart raced faster, and I stood up immediately.The necklace she wore had a small diamond pendant that shone on her neck and with each step she took, her wavy black hair seemed to bounce.I wasn't salivating for the food anymore. I didn't want it anymore. All I wanted was her."Your Highness," She murmured as she bowed slowly."You've captured my heart," I confessed as my heart rate sped up.She averted her gaze, fixing her eyes on the roses I had kept on the table."I don't know which flowers you like, so I got you this one.""Thank you, I like it," there was no emotion in her voice, and I had a feeling that she was lying, but I said nothing, not wanting the dinner to be awkward."You're beautiful, cupcake."She licked her glossy lips, and my eyes followed that simple action as I im

I mean, she should be glad that he's marrying her," one of them said, followed by the clanking of kitchen wares before another feminine voice spoke, which I was sure was another maid."Nobody in the council likes her or even approves of her, but it's not like they can say anything to him. He's too calm and considerate—-""If it were his brothers, they wouldn't have batted an eyelid at her, mate or not," yet another voice spoke and I scrunched my face, but I remained quiet as I listened to their conversation."Ben would've made for a better Alpha king," it was the first voice this time around. And then the voices became distant as I heard the sound of water splashing."I hope Ben comes back to reclaim his position!" I heard the voice again as soon as the sound of the water stopped.Several gasps of shock followed and my palm quickly flew to my mouth due to the

    SELENE'S POVThe day of the mating ceremony came so fast that I wondered if I was ready for this.Looking at myself in the mirror as I was dressed in a pretty white laced dress with a light pink tulle skirt that covered my legs and a crown of flowers resting on my head reminded me of the woman in the mirror.That was a few days ago, but it felt like just yesterday. I couldn't say anything to anyone, but I was always wondering who the woman was. She had told me that I was going to find out who she was pretty soon and I couldn't wait.I glanced at the mirror slowly again, willing myself to see her, but instead, all I saw was my reflection and how beautiful I looked. But my eyes held a certain sadness and I smiled slowly in a bid to hide it."You look beautiful, my lady," Cara said and I nodded without a word.Zeus's had told me that it was custom in the Blackhound pack for all the werewolves to be in their wolf form during the later part of the mating ceremony.

    Brent’s POVThe hallway was empty save for the faint sound of footsteps echoing in the distance. My hands clenched into fists as I walked quickly away after the encounter with Candice. That woman had a way of getting under my skin, her words like needles pricking at my pride and patience. The audacity to question my competence after everything that had happened — after what my men had faced — was infuriating.I pushed the door to my quarters open with more force than necessary, the sound of it hitting the wall startling one of the soldiers stationed nearby. He glanced at me, then quickly looked away, recognizing my mood. Smart man.Dropping into the chair at my desk, I ran a hand through my hair, trying to settle the boiling frustration that Candice had expertly ignited. She always had to have the last word, always had to prove she was the smartest person in the room. And the worst part? She wasn’t entirely wrong about Zeus.I hated admitting it, even to myself, but her insight into h

    Candice’s POVI was utterly annoyed when the news of the failed operation got to me. I had expected Brent to have been more aware and prepared. It was certain he had underestimated Zeus. This was the same reason I had wanted to be involved with the operation and not just give ideas on what should be done.I needed to go and talk to Rodrigo and give him a piece of my mind. He and his men had fumbled up a perfectly laid-out plan, and I wasn’t going to sit idly and watch them continue like this. If I was going to have my revenge on Zeus, then I was going to do more than just give advice and sit in this gigantic castle. I needed to be directly involved with every operation; from planning to execution. If there was one person who knew Zeus as much as he knew himself, it was me.I stepped out of the room, completely ignoring Lucia who kept on calling out and running after me. I wasn’t going to allow anyone to stop me from giving Rodrigo a piece of my mind. I was about to round a corner to t

    Selene’s POVThe day went by slowly. I had barely left the room since my encounter with the goddess. Eleanor was the best guardian anyone could ask for. She dotted on me like I was her child. Constantly checking to make sure nothing went wrong. With her, I knew I was completely safe from immediate harm.Her son had recovered from the injuries he had gotten from the fight with Zeus and Evan. The perks of being a wolf were the accelerated healing, amongst other things. He was up and about, getting involved in the activities around the safe house. He had been in to check on me a few times too. Eleanor and her son had become the family I had always prayed for.I spent my time indoors knitting, using it as a form of distraction. I know the goddess had asked me not to worry or disturb myself again but I couldn’t help the thoughts running about in my head.It was almost noon when I heard movements coming from the compound. I got up from the bed and stepped out of the room. From the look of t

    Brent’s POVRodrigo was furious. I could hear the commotion from outside his office door. I didn’t need to go in to know that he would have tumbled his office by the time I’d gotten there. We all stood outside, everyone afraid to approach the office.I stood in patience waiting for the moment Rodrigo would be calm enough for me to approach him and talk to him. I’d known from experience that approaching him when he was raging wasn’t the best move for anyone to make.Minutes passed as the muffled sounds of Rodrigo’s rage subsided. The soldiers who had been standing around glanced at me nervously. I kept my face neutral, masking my own unease. Dealing with Rodrigo when he was angry was like walking on hot coals and expecting your foot to not get burned.Finally, silence could be heard from inside the office. I stood for a few minutes, listening for sounds so I wouldn’t walk into another fit that was waiting to explode. When I was sure he had calmed down a little bit, I took a deep breath

    Zeus’ POVThe room was filled with a heavy silence as I sat at the head of the table, my fingers tapping an irregular rhythm on the table surface. The shadows cast by the firelight seemed to dance mockingly as if they knew the war raging inside of me. The betrayal of Marcus and Gregory was a deep wound, a knife in my back from men I had once trusted wholeheartedly. My thoughts were restless, wandering endlessly over their disloyalty.A knock at the door broke through my cloud of anger.“Enter,” I commanded, my voice cold and calculating at the same time.Evan and Jack stepped inside, their expressions humorless but firm. They bowed briefly before straightening. I could see the tiredness in their eyes despite their attempt to hide it. Evan’s uniform had little cuts around it, a faint line of dirt across his sleeve, and a small tear near his shoulder. Jack had almost the same look about him, though his demeanor was as sharp as ever.“Guys, good job today,” I said, leaning forward slight

    Evan’s POVThe door closed behind Jack and me as we exited Zeus’ office. The importance of the mission was becoming very evident with each passing minute. The stakes had never been higher, and there was no room for error. Zeus had trusted us with this plan, and failure wasn’t an option.“We need to move now,” I said to Jack, my voice low but firm. He nodded, his expression as sharp as mine. There was no time to waste.Within minutes, I assembled the soldiers in the strategy room, dividing them into four different teams. Each soldier’s face was tight with focus, their postures rigid as they awaited my instructions. I moved to the front of the room, letting my gaze run across them, making sure I had the attention of everybody in the room.“Listen carefully,” I began. “This mission is crucial to uncovering the traitors in our midst. Each of you has been selected because I trust your tact, skills, and discretion. There will be no second chances. We need absolute stealth and precision.”I

    Brent’s POVThe rustling in the control room filled my ears as I watched the large screens mounted on the walls. Each one displayed live feeds from the soldiers stationed at the western woods and the eastern outpost. A dozen men moved around me, monitoring the signals, communications, and camera angles. This was a delicate operation — one I couldn’t afford to mess up.I paced back and forth, eyes darting between the screens. The western woods appeared cold and dark, with tall trees surrounding it, the pathway barely visible under the weak moonlight. The eastern outpost was a bit different. It was quiet, almost peaceful, with the rustle of trees and faint chirps of crickets in the background. Both locations were deadly silent, and that made me uneasy.“Keep the feeds clear,” I ordered sharply, hovering behind a technician. “I want eyes on everything. And tell the units to proceed with caution. I don’t want mistakes.”“Yes, sir,” the technician replied, typing furiously on the keyboard.

    Rodrigo’s POVThe soft scratching of my pen against the stack of papers in front of me was beginning to drive me mad. Line after line, I signed my name, my focus slipping with every word I read. Financial summaries, border patrol updates, pack development plans — it was endless. I leaned back in my chair, pressing two fingers to my temple, feeling the weight of boredom press down on me.How did it come to this?This office, with its dark oak walls and giant shelves of old records, felt more like a prison than the command post it was supposed to be. I was Rodrigo, the man who thrived on strategy and war, not some clerk meant to push papers all day. I was built for action, not for sitting here, suffocating under reports.With a groan, I flung my pen onto the table and leaned back, staring at the ceiling. The progress against Zeus was moving at a snail’s pace. The conspiracy had been months in the making, and while small steps had been taken, nothing decisive had yet happened. Zeus still

    Selene’s POVThe words from the goddess filtered into my mind, interrupting my thoughts. When I had been recuperating in the hospital and had the vision, she had said that a war, a great war, was coming, and the only person who could save my kind was me.The war she showed me was intense, razing everything in its path. How was I supposed to stop something of that magnitude? I couldn’t even save myself. I’m here, hidden in a safe house so I’d be safe. Guards have been posted around the compound to make sure no threats come close. All these to keep me safe because I wasn’t capable of something as simple as that. Yet, I was supposed to save my kind from the war coming. The goddess must have been mistaken.I stood from the bed and walked to the window, staring out into the night. The moon hung in the night sky. It would be a full moon in a few days. I was tired of being hurled up in this room. My wolf wanted to run, to feel the air rush across her body. She wanted to enjoy the feeling of
