Unknown POVI was restless. I had been kept in the dark for too long. Orion and Rodrigo had promised to give me the Blue Moon Pack and I had believed them. It’s been months now and they have failed to come through on their promise.Zeus still moved around like the stuck-up bastard he was, reveling in the power and authority that wasn’t his to begin with. He stole my authority, my crown. I wasn’t going to just sit still and watch him enjoy what wasn’t his, to begin with.When I heard Orion and Rodrigo had come together to conspire against Zeus, I knew that was my chance to get what I wanted. Teaming up with them didn’t sound like a bad idea initially, but right now, I was in doubt. It’s been months already and yet there has been no significant progress. How long was I supposed to still wait for?I needed to know what was happening.It was infuriating, this waiting game. Every passing day felt like a dagger twisting deeper into my chest, a reminder of what had been stolen from me. The B
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
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 POVI stared impatiently at the clock as it ticked past 10 pm, anxiety gripping my heart. With each passing minute, my worry deepened. I couldn't remember how many times I had glanced at the door hoping that Alpha Orion would come in.He left the house early today to check on the border walls that were rumored to have been the enemy's camp out. Nightfall pack our rival pack were rumored to have camped close to our border, waiting for the perfect time to ambush us and immediately Orion got the news, he had left home without even eating breakfast.The night stretched long and still, there was no sight of him. I paced around the room repeatedly when suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my lower abdomen. I thought it was nothing but the normal contractions I had during pregnancy and besides I wasn't due till after a month.I took another step and I felt something warm and wet trickling down my thighs. The pain intensified and I was forced to let out a cry. The door was flung open as
Selene's POV I shivered as goosebumps flooded my skin due to the cold. I pulled up closer to the walls, trying to find some warmth disregarding the fact that the dungeon I was currently in had a foul odour. My hand brushed across the blood on the wall and I hurriedly retrieved them. I was cold and in pain. My eyes hurt from crying so hard. I moved away from the bloody walls but ended up stumbling against the bones I had been desperately trying to avoid. There were skulls and different body parts of the deceased, I shuddered just thinking about what the owner of those body parts must have gone through to end up like that.I suddenly heard footsteps approaching which was strange. This was my second day in the dungeon but no one has ever come this way. Was it Orion? Did he realize I was innocent of his accusations? A flicker of hope bloomed in my heart as I rushed towards the old rusty bars. I held the bars to support myself repeatedly trying to glance at the person approaching. My sm
KING Zeus POV ~BLUE MOON PACK~Anger coursed through my veins as I glanced through the reports in front of me. I adjusted the glasses at the bridge of my nose. For the past two hours I have been sitting here going through the atrocities committed by the Alpha of the Blackpeak pack. I banged my hands on the table angrily and the sound reverberated across the room."Jacob!" I growled. A second barely passed before he rushed in."Alpha King, you called for me." My beta, Jacob answered."What's all these?" I inquired, pointing towards the file."Those are the reports I got on Blackpeak pack for the past few months Alpha." He explained."Blackpeak pack again? Aside from their extortion from the poor by using tax payment as an excuse, Alpha Orion's pack also has the highest rate of poverty. He has refused to pay his employees?" I inquired in disbelief.Jacob nodded. "Yes, Alpha King. I also got reports of some of his pack members deaths. A border fell recently. It was rumored to have been
KING Zeus POV My senses were heightened the moment she was brought before me. The air cracked with an undeniable force, a magnetic pull that went beyond before mere physical attraction. She raised her head even though all prisoners had their head bowed. Her eyes widened and I felt the flicker of emotion in them, it was the mate bond. The connection surged through my veins and blood, confirming her status as my destined partner. It was obvious she felt it too, after a few minutes of running her eyes over me, she hurriedly averted her gaze, bowing to me like every prisoner. Although my insides were in turmoil, I maintained a straight face in front of everyone. Our exchange was only for a brief moment for the people present but to us it felt like an eternity. "Jacob," I called out, gazing at other prisoners who were shaking like leaves. "Yes, my King." His polite reply came. "Retreat everyone back to the dungeon. I will attend to this matter soon." I ordered. He shot me a surpris
Selene POVWith my mouth wide open I stared at the man standing in front of me. I was still processing words to say when he arched an eyebrow at my silence.“Sir… I think you must be mistaken.” I managed to say.“Huh? What?” He asked as he saw the shock on my face.“What do you want?” I asked, my eyes watching his every expression.“You.” He blurted almost immediately.“Sir, you must be mistaken. I don't understand what you are trying to say.” I denied it for the third time with a straight face.He stood there staring down at me intently and his expression did not change one bit.“You heard me and you're coming with me.” He repeated.Before I could say Jack he went out of the dungeon and arrived with a young man whom he ordered to open the door to the dungeon and let me out.“What are you doing?” I questioned as the man fumbled with the padlocks.“I said earlier that you're coming with me.” He repeatedly ignored the shock on my face.The man finally opened the dungeon and he ordered

Zeus’ POVThe weight of Jack’s words had stayed with me since our last conversation. Three council members already compromised — Gregory, Marcus, and Vivienne. Trusted figures in my leadership, individuals I had worked alongside for years. If they were involved in this conspiracy, it made me wonder who else might be. How deep did this whole thing run?I stood at the edge of the balcony overlooking the training grounds, the distant sound of warriors clashing serving as a backdrop to my thoughts. My fingers drummed against the railing as I replayed Jack’s findings in my mind. Gregory, with his smooth charm and years of loyalty. Marcus is steadfast and disciplined. Vivienne is sharp and strategic. They were pillars of the council. How could they plot against me? And why?The question ate at me. What had I done to earn their hate? Or was it not personal at all but rather an attempt to dismantle the foundation of my rule? If so, they were foolish to think they could succeed. My grip tighte
Candice’s POVI was woken by a knock on the door. I wasn’t sure how long I had been asleep. I walked to the door and looked through the peephole. A servant stood outside, patiently waiting for the door to be opened. I took a step back, smoothing the body of my gown before proceeding to open the door.“Greetings,” The servant politely greeted, “Beta Brent sent me to check if you’re prepared for the meeting. He said to make it clear that lateness won’t be tolerated.”I cleared my throat before asking, “What time is the meeting scheduled to begin?”“In less than thirty minutes. Some council members are already assembled.”I excused myself and quickly went into the bathroom to wash up and get ready for the meeting. I hadn’t come along with any personal effect so the gown I had worn all day was going to have to serve again.When I was sure I was ready, I walked out with the servant and we headed for the meeting hall, closely followed by the guards posted outside my room.“What’s your name?

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
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
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.
