MAXIMUS “Everyone, move to the east, now!” I instructed my soldiers through the mind-link once both kingdoms stopped fighting. “We are going to the academy to save the kids. Kill every eastern soldier that tries to stop you.”Silas also instructed his soldiers to move to the east. Never in a billion years would I ever imagine that the North and the South would be fighting for the same cause.When we got to the east, the soldiers tried to stop us at the gate, and as instructed, both my men and Silas’ men fought them. I also killed a few of them before Silas and I proceeded into the academy, searching everywhere for Mark, the Eastern King. The rage burning within me—the intense urge to kill Silas—had been temporarily redirected toward Mark. I still wanted Silas’ head, but at that moment, I wanted Mark’s head more.He dared lie to me and deceive me. He dared lock up my son inside the dungeon. He dared try to make my pack’s kids renounce me as their Alpha. He would fucking pay with his l
MAXIMUSSilas was mine to kill, and I would kill him. We had been fighting for several minutes now, attacking each other with so much force.“I will kill you!” he growled as he swung his sword at me, attempting to slash me with it, but I quickly dodged it. Without hesitation, I jumped in the air and kicked him with my foot. He staggered backward but regained his footing immediately.“Those are my words to say!” I growled back as I lunged closer and swung my sword to hit him, but he blocked the attack with his own sword.The swords began to clank against each other as we both made desperate attempts to defeat each other. The battle was fierce, as we were both great warriors. We were both Alpha Kings who wanted each other dead. But I was not allowing him to kill me. He would die by my hands. He dared wage war on my pack.Different mind-links pour into my mind, but I blocked them all off. My sole purpose right now was to kill Silas. I was blinded by so much rage and determination that I
DAISYI appeared in the pack hospital, and the wounded soldiers I saw there broke my heart. I had to force back a tear as I was on a mission.“Alpha King!” I tried to mind-link him, but he blocked it off.“Alpha King, it is urgent!” I tried again, but it was to no avail.“Dad!” I tried to mind-link him, but I got the same response. He blocked it off.“Luna Queen!”She blocked me off.“Uncle Kade!”The same thing.“Uncle Tom!”No response.Frustration rose up my throat. I had to get to them, but they weren’t even allowing the mind-link. I couldn’t mind-link my mom because she was a full-blood witch. Witches weren’t gifted with the power to mind-link—only shifters were. The only person she could mind-link was her mate, my father, and that was because their souls had been intertwined.“Who are you?” One of the soldiers suddenly raised his sword at me from behind.I
AXELThey dragged me to the dungeon, and I willingly allowed them to lock me inside to protect my mate. If not, I would have been able to take on these men within seconds.I mind-linked Violet. “Are you okay, baby?”“Yes. They are taking me to the dungeon. She ordered them to take me there. You’ll see me soon,” she says.Fuck! Fuck! I will fucking kill that woman for hurting my mate. The rage burning through me was so intense that I could feel it boiling through my veins.“Axel?” I suddenly heard a familiar voice murmur. I swung my gaze around, looking for the source of the voice. “Where are you?!” I growl.“I am in the cell next to yours. You can’t see me,” Alpha Richard said.Cell? What was he doing here? In the dungeon? In the cell?“What are you doing here? Did you also conspire with your brother to make innocent students sever ties with their packs by joining his?” I growled.“No.” A rapid bur
AXEL“Take them to the dungeon, now!” the Eastern King growled. I flicked my gaze at him, rage burning within me. “We are not going anywhere!” I growled back. “Take him!” he instructed his men, who were already moving toward me. One of them held my arm, and I yanked his hand away. “I am not going anywhere!” I growled. I had to make sure that he didn’t get into their heads and manipulate them into accepting him as their Alpha. The war would end, and they would have parents waiting for their kids to return. It was my duty to protect them as the future Alpha King. Another wolf tried to grab me, but I caught his arm and kicked him with my foot, making him stagger backward. “You want to fight? Then challenge me!” the Eastern King growled. I snapped my gaze at him, feeling a surge of power rush through me. “I accept the challenge.” I might only be an Alpha prince, but I knew I was more powerful than even I could fathom. The power
VIOLETFear coursed through my body as realization hit me. The North and South were going to war. The dots were connecting now. My mother had considered the possibility of dying from the war, which was why she came to see me—maybe for the last time. I shook my head, horror filling my eyes. This shouldn’t be happening. “Axel...” I muttered, my voice trembling. “What should we do?” He raked his fingers through his hair in frustration as he began pacing back and forth. “I don’t know. I can’t even reach him anymore. Fuck. I can’t reach my mom either.” I quickly dialed my dad’s number, but I couldn’t get through to him. My mom too. “Fuck!” Axel groaned. “My phone just lost connection. The network has been cut off.” “My phone too,” I murmured, looking at the screen. “We need to get back to the academy. I need to go to the pack,” Axel groaned as he began putting on his clothes. I scrambled for my shirt and pants and slipped them on too. We ran back to the academy afterward. I also n
