Lily’s POVDinner was not as memorable as I imagined it would be. I was dining with the people I loved for the first time in five years at the same table.Still, there was no happy chattering, no laughing, no banter between the kids, and not even the basic smile.I tried to focus on the plate of food set in front of me. I took a spoonful of the tangy soup into my mouth.“Thank you, mother," Fiona said as she rose from the table after her brother.“Hmmm," I replied with a smile but my mind was elsewhere.Marcus.The dinner table was quickly missing seats and in no time, I found myself alone with Shawn. His presence was both comforting and unnerving.He had changed so much since we were younger, hardened by the experiences and losses we had both endured. Tonight, though, there was a fire in his eyes that I hadn’t seen before, he felt like a villain.“We need to talk,” Shawn said, his voice low and strained. He must have thought about this conversation for a long time before initiating i

Shawn’s POVHeartbreak. That was the only word that could describe the ache in my chest as I walked away from the lodge.Her refusal to join our mission of revenge felt like a dagger to my soul. I had thought, hoped, that she would understand, that she would stand with me. But she had chosen a different path, leaving me to face the coming storm alone.As I walked through the now quiet streets, my mind wandered back to how everything at Crimson Valley was as peaceful as the night was.I kicked a stone into a wall. “We will be kinder than they were anyway," I said sulkily.Lily was my elder sister and it would have been nice to have her support. I knew she was scared of another bloodbath, but we were planning to only execute the Twilight Ridge pack and their allies.I sighed as I arrived at the outskirts of Mistwood Creek. I turned back in the direction of the village and smiled sadly.Earlier on after I left Lily's presence, I noticed that Martins and Clara were standing outside, whisp

Lily’s POVDawn had yet to come into full light when I woke up with a start. I heard disturbing sounds of wood and chairs and cups smashing against the wall. There were loud thuds and screams alongside it.Startled, I searched around the room but I could not find my kids. Heart pounding, I sat up in bed and strained to hear what was happening.I heard the sounds of hurried footsteps and muffled voices. I threw off the covers and hurried out of the room to find my kids.As I stepped into the hallway, I saw my children, Raymond and Fiona, already awake and clutching rods they found in the room.Clara and Martin stood with them, their expressions tense and alert as they watched the door to the room we had lodged in.I sighed in temporary relief.“What’s going on?” I whispered urgently as I joined them.Clara glanced at me, her eyes wide with fear. “We think we’re being robbed,” she said quietly.My heart sank as I saw their scared stances. I looked at my kids and realized how exposed the

Shawn’s POVI helped Lily to pack up the remaining items that belonged to them in the lodge. Clara was already well packed, but I had not seen Martin since Shadowvale left.“Do you have an idea of where Martin might be?” I asked Clara as I walked up to where she sat.She sighed. “He is sulking on the balcony,”“Thank you,” I replied and made for the balcony, but she held my wrist back.“Shawn, I know I cannot fight yet, but I will do whatever I can to ensure we are all safe,” she said, her voice firm and resolute.I smiled with whatever strength I had left. “Thank you,” I said again, sincerely.I patted her palms before gently releasing myself from her grip with a calm smile. But my mind was far from calm. I felt a strange pull towards her, an inexplicable connection that was hard to ignore.She was beautiful, smart, and hardworking. Traits that would attract any man, but there was something more. She was strong-willed, a quality I admired deeply.She faced her fears head-on and seeme

Marcus’s POVThe sun rose over Mistwood Creek, casting a golden hue across the landscape. Today marked the beginning of a new era, a turning point in my life.Standing with the full entourage of the court, my new knights, who were all members of my hunt pack, the elders, and servants, the ceremonial horn was blown loudly.The loud horn announced the passing of the old era and the rise of the new. I had been crowned Alpha King.Nothing was exciting about it.I only needed this seat to correct my father's wrongs and help the people to live peaceably.“All hail the new Alpha King Marcus!"“Rest on Alpha Adonis and Queen Laurent!"The procession began as part of the rites in honor of my late parents. I sat in the open carriage as we went to all the villages.Passing the Luna Crest village was the last thing I wanted but we did. We moved out and got to the last village closest to the mansion.The villagers stood with their heads bowed, paying their respects. This village was very mystical
The Alpha King's Hated Slave CHAPTER 191
Lily's POVThe day had begun in the strangest of ways and I was trying so hard to have my emotions and concerns wrapped up and kept to myself.First, it was Shadowvale, now it was a procession. We stood quietly among the villagers, blending into the sea of men and women who bowed in respect for the passed-on King and to welcome in the new Alpha King."All hail the new Alpha King Marcus!"“Rest on Alpha Adonis and Queen Laurent!"Queen Laurent was dead too?! I felt my heart shatter anew. The pain of losing his mother must have been immense for Marcus.I lifted my head slightly to catch a glimpse of him. His black eyes felt darker due to lack of sleep, and his thin lips looked thinner as they were pressed into a slim line.As I kept on admiring him, Marcus abruptly halted the procession. I hope he didn't see me. Panic surged through me, and I quickly bowed my head.I strained to hear what Marcus and Winston were discussing. Their voices were low, but I managed to catch a part of the con

Marcus’s POVI was still doubtful of her innocence in all this, but for Lily's sake and Grayson's sake, I would give her the benefit of the doubt."Start speaking," I demanded, my voice echoing off the walls.She looked up at me, a flicker of hope in her eyes. "How is my father?"Really?"Stop playing games with me," I snapped, taking a step closer. "You’ll meet your father if you tell me what I need to hear."Clara seemed to hesitate, her gaze dropping to the floor. After a long moment, she sighed and looked back up at me. "Shadowvale is planning an attack on Mistwood Creek."I felt a surge of anger and concern. "Fair enough," I said. “But that's not all I want to hear and you know it,"“I'm sorry King Marcus, but I don't know who that whirlwind belonged to," She shook her head and I could feel her genuine flow of emotions.“Is there anyone you suspect might be after them?" I asked.“Apart from you, that would be Lucas. He wants the kids, Raymond and Fiona, dead and…” She paused.The

Lucas's POV Looking at Leila's retreating back left me writhing in anger at her audacity in turning back on her words. I should have known better anyway, once an evil witch, always a wicked witch. I looked away from Leila and her flowing black veil and rested my eyes on the helpless Lily being carried away by the men who were with Leila. "Make sure she is not conscious," Leila instructed them. "The kids?" One asked. "Leave them as they are. Lucas already did that," She replied and turned to face me. Her dark men who surrounded me seemed to be there to restrict me from doing anything reckless, rather than execute me from the plan. "What happened to your integrity, Leila Darkwood," I asked her angrily. "I don't have one, Lucas Hawthorne," She replied with a sinister smile. "I actually don't have all day to spend here chit-chatting with you, so I will go ahead with my question," She knows who the hell I am. I searched her as she spoke and gauged the strength of the men
