CHAPTER 36Ryan's p.o.v“How did it go” “Well she told me to try to convince you not to continue the war” I let out a loud mocking laugh“Such a ridiculous request,uh oh are they scared of the impending war”A smile appeared on mate's face”You need to see the pathetic look on her face”“Well the war must happen and am certain the victory is ours”“How is your plans going for the war”“So far,I have gathered more than a thousand armies”“But babe can I ask you for a favor”“What is it” my words stern “I want my parents to be exempted from all of this violence”“If your parents want to be saved by me then they would”“Does that mean you have accepted my request”I nodded and she hugged me tightly.I was sitting in my meeting room carefully strategizing on how my war plans would go when a knock interrupted me.So far I have gotten good remarks on my war plan.“What do you want” I shouted“It's me my Lord”“What do you want?” I repeated, losing my patience.“You have a quest” the guard
“Come on we are close” I encouraged my guards,I went on alliance seeking with some of my guards,we have been in the forest and wild land for days, moving from one pack to another generating support and back up.Most of the Alpha's agreed but the few others that were against helping me insisted that their lives were more important than an unnecessary battle.I tried as much as I could to convince them that they wouldn't die but it was impossible for them to believe.Some Alphas owed me favors for what I had done for them before and they were in full support of me and readily rendered their help and allegiance to me.My mind wandered back to the last Alpha I encountered,my mate's father.“To what do I owe this visit my Lord”he questioned,his eyes glued to the floor as he carefully avoided my eyes.“I have come to recruit you and your armies in your pack,I am here you must have heard about the war”“I have heard about the impending war but I don't know the people involved in it My Lord,
Welcome back home dear”“Did my baby miss me “ he said as I held unto him immediately we entered our room, I snuggled up on him, happy he was back after the days he had left to look for a way to win the war against the North Region.“Now all I want you to do is freshen up and have a good night rest, I am sure by tomorrow you would be more settled and relaxed to tell me how your journey went “ he nodded,kissed the tip of my nose and went back inside the bathroom.“Rise and shine baby “ those words got my eyes fluttered open,my mate's deep blue eyes peering at me, his smile wider than any I had ever seen on him and he was so focused gazing at me like he just found me.“What's wrong with you”“How do you mean” he asked pouting like a child “Why are you so cheery and high spirited this morning”“Do you mean am always grumpy”“Well…”“Oh wow so you actually told your Alpha King that he is grumpy, you need to be prosecuted for that “ I let out a loud laugh knowing he was just joking“So wh
Into the mall . During the short period I left the palace and my mate's side,I missed her greatly and I thought about how I would leave without her around.I had all the intentions to spoil my mate with gifts and good time today,she tried some clothes on and came out for me to give my opinion on the dress. The first one was a burgundy colored dress with flowers decorating the tip,it was a long dress with a high slit, she came out and posed, twirling in front of me and patiently waiting for my opinion.The slit was my only issue with the dress,I don't want anyone staring at my mate like she was some prey, otherwise the dress was great,I shook my head negatively to indicate that I wasn't pleased with the dress,she rolled her eyes, huffed and went inside.In some minutes,she appeared again in front of me for my opinion with a short denim skirt and white Tee that was tied backwards to make it look like a crop top, I sat upright angry at her choice.Why was she hell bent on exposing skin a
The stranger from the pack who was the cause of the issue I and Dante were having stood in front of us, openly agreeing to what I had just said.“How dare you show your face to me” Dante said charging towards him.“You are werewolves right” I gasped in shock when I heard that , Dante on the other hand paused in his steps.“What did you just say”I asked the stranger“The growl,I know it came from you”he said pointing at Dante“And the both of you look different like something doesn't feel right with you guys ““And you assumed we are wolves?”“Yea”he shrugged“Well you are mistaken, we are not” I chipped in.“But…”“Don't you dare come close to my mate” Dante spoke sternly for the first time since the stranger guessed we were wolves.He held my hand and ushered me forward, trying to get me outta the area.“I have seen your kind before ,she was the friend I told you of”Dante and I both stopped on our track .“Please I mean no harm,I know about the rules of not letting any human know of
I opened my eyes to the strong ray of sunlight coming directly from outside through the window,we had returned back home extremely late yesterday and no one spoke about anything that happened,we both avoided the conversation.I peered over at my mate, with the event of yesterday flashing freshly on my mind.“You awake baby” I nodded still falsely pretending that I am upset about yesterday's event.“How was your night dear “he tried again but this time I met him with silence .“Are you alright Marty” he said after some time of silence .“I am fine”I responded and flipped the bed cover away from my body, getting out of the bed frowning.Dante did the same getting out with me too,I went directly into the restroom to brush my teeth,he followed suit and did same.I was done now,I wanted to leave the room when I felt a pair of strong hands grab me from the back.“Are you still angry at me baby?”“Of course,it is hard for me not to, you didn't trust me, you thought the worst of me,how could
I looked at my mate in confusion, what was wrong with him.We were having a great time and he wants to ruin it?“What do you mean,a pup”“As we were having fun down there I could only hear two heartbeat coming from your wolf and we both know what that means, and Carl is being extra protective no matter how I tried to tame him”“That means I am pregnant right”He nodded That explains the feverish feeling I was having.“Why did you keep it a secret?” Dante asked“I didn't know” I said and slumped to the floor sadly Dante rushed to my side holding me calmly and gently “Marty are you okay”“I am, let's go back home”Back in the palace I couldn't help but be engrossed in my thoughts, Dante was sleeping soundly beside me but I couldn't sleep, after the revelation of our little one I couldn't help but be sad instead of being happyI felt Dante stir in his sleep, suddenly I felt his hand wrapped around my waist in his laying position.“What's wrong baby” he asked“Nothing to worry about” he
I made my way to my meeting room this time with a bigger reason to win the war, I have to tell Theo, my most trusted man, about the news of my unborn baby. Maybe that would also increase his zeal to want to win the war too.“Theo, I called for this meeting with you as my Beta and the head of the warriors of the palace because I want to ask you if you have come up with any strategy of yours that can help in the victory of this war?” I asked immediately as I entered the room, Theo was already in before I was.“None my Lord”“What do you mean?”I asked, angered by his response.“It's been two weeks since I told you about the war and the arrival of the stranger who alerted me and you stand in front of me to tell me that you haven't thought about any situation that might lead to our victory in the war.”“I am sorry my Lord I felt it wasn't useful anymore since you informed me about the Luna Queen healing power” he confessed“How dare you, how dare you think you have the right to relax becau
I stumbled with the pain I was feeling, completely soaked in blood, the sword cuts around different angles on my body, which was oozing out blood right now.I sighted my palace from afar, that was where I was dragging myself to with the level of pain I was feeling, I needed to get closer to my mate, I needed her and probably our pup who must have been out now.I knew Ryan wanted me dead but today I had to see it deep in his eyes and it was worse than what I thought, Ryan hates me to the point of him not wanting to breathe in the same air as me.My mind flashed back to some hours ago, blood was already flowing on the floor, innocent people who didn't deserve to die were present, I wasn't bothered at first because the amount of casualties on the floor wasn't as much as the one that was added.I was more worried because my mate and I had promised the other Alphas that their warriors would come back safely to them and with the numbers of dead and injured people right now my mate's life was
“Hey old friend” he seemed at me and my mate as I surveyed the environment,still in fear and pain.“What are you doing here” Dante asked“To help kill and bring the downfall of our mutual enemy” he said and immediately different men of different sizes and shapes troop in from goddess knows where and with them were mysterious materials that I have never seen before.The way the men wielded this instrument it must be very powerful.“Guns” Dante spoke again his eyes wide with surprise. I was trying so hard to withhold this pain I was feeling but it was getting unbearable so I let out a loud groan which diverted their attention to me.Alex rushed to my side and so did Dante, both men holding me still. A loud growl was heard afterwards from no one but my mate who is obviously giving Alex a warning to back off which he did as he raised his hand up in surrender.“Whoa Whoa,you still remember my words right king” his American accent thick as hell.“She only looks like my late mate you know, I
There stood the betrayer whom I trusted with my life and have done everything in my power to take care of,he held a mischievous grin plastered firmly across his face like he was having this time of his life.“Theo” I called again progressing Into the room slowly, this room has a flicker of light so it was a little bit easier to see and comprehend what is going on in the environ.I winced immediately I saw the knife he positioned on my mate's neck,a trickle of blood I could see as the knife was injuring her, her hand held her bump protectively as tears dropped from her face.I moved forward, towards her to help but I was stopped when Theo pressed the knife further into her skin and she let out a shriek.“Stay back” he ordered, my heart twisted in pain at the sight before me, it wasn't enough that my mate was kidnapped but my most trusted servant is currently holding a knife to her closely threatening to end her life, I stared at her cute little bump how she had held it so productively
The warriors begin their arrival from that night, before dawn the palace was filled with able bodied men, scary looked grown ups,both men and women who were ready to lay down their lives for me and my mate.“We head out by noon” I ordered standing at the threshold of the mansion in order to be heard by the crowd of people.Matthias, my secret agent, approached me immediately after my address to the people “My Lord, I hope this is a good idea” he looked at me, his gaze laced with pity.“Why did you say so Matthias” I questioned perplexed at the emotionless hulk in front of me finally showing vulnerability.“The soldiers at the North Region are more than what we have gathered and their weapons looks foreign too” I sighed, patting him slowly at the back, understanding the reason behind his worry was my death.“Matthias don't worry,the moon goddess has ordained this to happen and now all I want you to do is promise me” I heaved a troubled sigh.“About what exactly my Lord” “Even if I hav
“My Lord a courier just arrived with a message for you” the guard whose howl stopped me from going over the border caught up with me.“It can wait, I need to save my mate” I said determined as ever“It's from Ryan, the Alpha King of North Region” That was enough to stop me from shifting back to my werewolf form “Did it say what is inside” I asked, my mind occupied with my mate thought,he shook his head negatively“The back of the envelope was written urgent” I looked at the far distance of the North Region contemplating if I should keep going or move back to see what the courier brought.What if my mate was not taken to the North Region? If truly Ryan took my mate he wouldn't be stupid enough to keep her in the North Region palace because as her mate I would catch her scent fast.My mind raced in confusion and uncertainty but then I decided to take the risk and retract my steps, quickly switching to let Carl take over and running straight back to my palace in haste.I got to the pala
I wasn't aware pregnancy was this stressful and uncomfortable, I was always eating and my feet is always sore and the thirst for water had tripled more than it was before.This night I was sitting up because I couldn't find the right position to sleep and the baby inside me was giving me a hard time doing that, I turned to my side to look at my gracious mate who was snoring away in sleep while I couldn't get any, I would have woken him up but I restraint myself since he helped me massage my feet before I slept, he also needed rest.I stood up and moved towards the kitchen, I needed some water but immediately I stepped out of the room,the guard that was positioned outside by my mate stood in my way.“My lady where are you off to by this hour” I rolled my eyes at his exaggeration, I was just going to the kitchen.““No need to exaggerate Mark, I am only going to get water from the kitchen” I said “But let me go with you”he offered “I am not a child and am sure you can see the kitchen
“Where is my mate” I shouted, my body already trembling with fear, I woke up without my mate by my side like she always was, she had been complaining of sore feet the day before and I massaged it for her before she slept off.Her bump was bigger now and evident and she kept complaining about her body, how she wouldn't look attractive to me anymore and how her big nose was going to be a turn off for me but I kept assuring her that I loved her regardless of any of those changes.Infact I saw it as a very proud thing knowing it was that little pup in her causing all this havoc on a perfect body.Now I woke up and tapped the side of my bed in other to cuddle my mate but the space was cold and empty, which means she is not in the bed and she has been gone for long, I wasn't surprised at first because her constant standing up at time was becoming a normal routine for her especially as her due date was closed she is in her eighth month.She drank water too much lately so she always goes down
Author's P.O.VDante woke up startled he has felt a presence leave the surround of the palace in the middle of the night and he knew at once that it was Theo,he alerted his spy and Instructed to follow Theo to wherever he is headed. He hastily mindlinked him.“It's time”Theo's wolf ran deep into the forest, crumpling and hitting the woods and dried stick on his way oblivious of the presence carefully trailing him behind.He passed the border of the North Region heading straight to the palace of the Alpha King of North Region. The spy scrunched his eyebrows together confused as to why the King's Beta was entering into the enemy land.He didn't stop as he followed suit and keeping a good distance from Theo, followed him till when Theo shifted back to his human form and when he got to the entrance door,the guards stationed at the door didn't stop him from entering it was like he had been coming there and it's a natural thing.The spy retract his movement right out of the North Region,he
