Zeus’ POV

Selene took a step back the moment I shifted back to man form.

Evan still had the young man in his grip. I could see the fear in her eyes. She feared for the young man and it made me wonder who he was to her.

“Let him go, please,” Selene pleaded, her gaze going from Evan to me and back to Evan.

“Why should he do that?” I demanded to know.

“He didn’t do anything wrong. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t be alive right now,” Selene said, worry still laced in her voice, “He found me unconscious in the woods and brought me to Eleanor, his mom, who attended to me. They both didn’t do anything wrong.”

I looked at the woman who had appeared at the doorway. She didn’t look dangerous.

“Alpha Zeus,” she said, her tone even, though there was a subtle edge to her words. “I was wondering when you’d arrive.”

I narrowed my eyes. “You know who I am.”

She nodded, stepping aside to allow us entry. “I know a great many things, Alpha.”

Evan shot me a wary glance, but I ignored him, signaling he

    Zeus’ POVEleanor took a deep breath before proceeding to tell me what she had meant by my doctors being responsible for Selene's inability to get pregnant.She explained how when she had told Selene she was pregnant; she had refused to believe it, insisting that she couldn’t get pregnant because she had been trying and the doctors had told her she couldn’t get pregnant.“She said she had been giving herbs to combat the bareness, but when I asked her to describe these herbs, she gave a clear description of Parsley,” She looked at Selene and back to me, “Parsley when taken, can inhibit pregnancy or cause an abortion.”“Why would the castle doctors want Selene barren?” Evan asked the question on my mind.Eleanor’s words hung heavily in the air, the weight of their implications pressing down on all of us. Selene’s face paled as she absorbed the revelation. I clenched my fists, a storm of emotions surging within me—anger, confusion, and a sense of betrayal.“Are you certain about this?” I

    Selene’s POVEleanor walked in with the food she had prepared for me. After Zeus had ordered me out of the castle and I had walked out from my parent’s house, I was lost and didn’t think I could trust anyone anymore. Eleanor had proven that she was trustworthy, taking care of a stranger without requesting any payments to be made.Zeus had us at one of his safe houses because he had said it wasn’t safe for me to stay at the castle. He was right. With everything going on at the moment. It was safer if I stayed hidden until the whole conspiracy was uncovered. This was bigger than just me and we all knew it.“How is your son?” I asked Eleanor as she brought the food she had prepared to the bed where I was.“He’s fine. He’s lucky you had stepped in when you did, or else his injuries would be greater than what he sustained,” Eleanor replied, “It was foolish of him to go up against an Alpha and his Beta.”“You can’t blame him. How was he to know?”“Don’t worry about him. Eat and rest. Your b

    Evans’ POVI had tried to reassure Selene but I wasn’t reassured. I could hardly believe the words I had told her. Everything going on was making me look incompetent. I hated feeling incompetent. I enjoyed the feeling of being in control and right now, I wasn’t.My fists clenched the ledger I had taken with me to show Zeus. I had expected the conspiracy to run deep but I didn’t expect it to run this deep, involving council members.Why would council members want harm to come to Zeus? Zeus’ rule has been the best we’ve had in a long time. He ruled with iron fists but showed emotion when needed. He wasn’t always the Devil, only when it was required. That wasn’t enough reason to want to harm him.I wondered if they had been bribed or they were threatened. These thoughts were surely going to keep me up all night.I got into the car, rubbed my eyes, and laid on the steering for a minute. My head was beginning to bang. When was the last time I suffered a headache? The feeling was foreign to

    Zeus’ POVThe night dragged on endlessly, each passing hour chipping away at what little patience I had left. Sleeping has proved extremely difficult for me. My thoughts were chaotic like a storm-tossed sea, my mind circling the same possibilities over and over again. The conspiracy was spreading like poison through the heart of my pack, and I needed to come up with a plan that would get us to the root of the problem.By the time the faint gray light of dawn crept through the curtains, I had barely closed my eyes. My unease had grown heavier, an oppressive weight that pressed down on my chest. Unable to sit idly any longer, I reached for my phone and dialed Evan. The call rang. No answer. My stomach twisted into a knot.A second call, then a third. Still nothing. My anxiety kicked in, sharp and immediate, as my mind jumped to the worst-case scenario. What if they had gotten to him? What if he had been silenced before we could uncover the truth?I paced the room, my hand tightening aro

  • The Alpha King True Mate    CHAPTER 87

    Evans’ POVThe silence in the car on our way back to the castle was deafening. Zeus was skeptical about leaving Selene, Eleanor, and her son back at the safe house. I understood his fear. He wasn’t only concerned about Selene’s well-being; he now had an unborn child to worry about, too. I’d had to call in a few of the elite pack warriors, those I had trained with and could vouch for in my life. We had them swear to keep everything a secret or risk losing their lives. Zeus only agreed to leave for the castle when he was convinced it was safe for them.The tension in the car was building with every minute we got closer to our destination. Jack had gone ahead of us to do his investigations on the council members. Zeus was right, we needed to know who and who had been compromised. The circle of trust was already small and we needed to keep it that way.“You know, you haven’t mentioned punishing Selene for her betrayal,” Zeus interrupted my thoughts.I took in a deep breath, “With everythi

    Candice’s POVI was on my way to the Star Moon Pack. Alpha Rodrigo had accepted my request to meet and hear what I had to say.The car rolled over uneven terrain as the Star Moon Pack's border loomed ahead, the dense forest giving way to sprawling lands dotted with guard posts. My heart thumped wildly in my chest, determination fueling me. Zeus had cast me aside, humiliated me, and all for that woman — Selene.The thought made my nails dig into the leather seat beneath my palm. I hated her with every fiber of my being. Selene had taken everything from me: Zeus’ attention, his warmth, his future. No, that wouldn’t do. I wouldn’t allow her to win.The car slowed as we reached the border checkpoint. Two Star Moon guards flanked us, their wolfish eyes glowing in alertness. One approached, his hand resting on the gun strapped to his side."State your business," he growled.The driver leaned out, presenting the insignia I had acquired when Rodrigo had accepted my request for an audience.

    Candice’s POVI walked behind Brent, following like a good school child who was expecting a treat from their parents. We walked in silence, Brent paying no heed to me, but from his alertness, I knew he was aware of every move I made, down to the number of breaths I had taken. The silence was beginning to feel awkward and I didn’t know what I was supposed to say to break the ice. This was unfamiliar terrain, and I had to be careful, or else I’d be at risk of being thrown out, just like Zeus had done to me.I was determined not to make any mistakes with this. Zeus had disgraced and embarrassed me. Taking me for granted and putting me aside like I was filth and meant nothing to him. Maybe I didn’t mean anything or hold any form of value to him, but after I was done with what I had in mind for him, he’d wish he hadn’t done what he did.We walked past some of the castle staff who bowed in respect to Brent. From the look on their faces, I could tell that they not only respected him but also

    Alpha Rodrigo’s POVSomething about Candice had caught my attention. I was yet to lay a finger on what it was but there was definitely something about her. I wondered what she had done to make Zeus discard her in the manner she did. She was a beautiful and well-built female, good enough to be a Luna by the side of an Alpha, to lead a pack.When I got her request, I had Brent investigate her. I had also asked my spies to find out all they could about what had gone down between her and Zeus. I thought I knew everything I needed to know but nothing prepared me for the beautiful woman that would step into my castle.She was not only beautiful, she had all the curves in the right places, her breasts filling her dress perfectly and her behind . . . I adjusted myself in my pants. I tried reminding myself that this was purely business and nothing more. We had a common enemy and that was why she was here.The more I tried taking her off my mind, the more these thoughts stole their way into my

    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
