KING TYRON’s POV Hermes rushed in, Cassius coming after him. "What's the situation like? Has he been found?" I asked and they shook their head. "No. But there was a trail of bodies. He must have killed everyone who stood in his line to get away" I tapped my finger against my chin in thought. According to the first report, the stand-in alpha had sent the best guards after Hunter which was a good idea because they would need an army of their best fighters to hold him down. Hunter was trained...and skilled in the act of fighting. Even though he had gone senile, he would still be able to take down a few warriors sent to take him down but not for the trained army. He shouldn't have been able to kill them all. Something didn't seem right with this whole situation. From the onset...the first report, I had an inkling that there was something off. "Where are the bodies?" I asked the both of them. Seeing the bodies will answer a few of the questions I had about this 'massacre' caused by H
My body was having a difficult time responding. It felt like all my muscles had turned to steel as I watched the scene unfold in front of me. It all happened so fast. The minute I was cooking, looking forward to enjoying the time off and the next minute, my worst nightmare appeared in front of me. I tried to get away. I really did but I was no match for the deranged psychopath. I was still confused about how he had found me. Who could have told him? Martha? I didn't get to dwell on my thoughts when he attacked me. It felt like Kaden all over. I could never defend myself and he always ended up getting what he wanted. I wanted to fight. I really wanted to but my body closed off. And when it felt like my fate had already been decided, the king came. I've never felt so much relief seeing him before. He tore that bastard male off me and tore his head off his shoulder, blood splattering over my face, and my chest heaved heavily. There my assaulter was, lying dead and dismembered. He could
I was surrounded by darkness. Pitch black darkness and I couldn't see with my werewolf vision. Everything just felt so dark. I checked my limbs and I could move them. I navigated my way in the darkness, looking for anything at all to hold onto. To guide me through to an exit so it doesn't feel like I'm being consumed by the heavy darkness but with each step, I lost hope of finding anything. There was just darkness, more darkness as I walked. It didn't seem like I was making any progress with my attempt to go out. I wasn't even sure if I was moving in the right direction. Was this even the way to the exit? I stood stiffly on the spot where I currently was, rotating to check for an alternate means of getting out. My head felt heavy after that spin and I stopped. I fell to my knees, just sitting in pitch-black darkness. I shut my eyes tightly and said a quick prayer to the goddess. Nothing good could ever come out of being in this type of situation. It was so dark...I needed to get out.
KING TYRON’s POVI watched them walk out of the room and then I followed, shutting the door behind myself. We stood outside the door and they stared at me. "Wait for me in my office""Yes my lord" they chorused and walked away. I listened for any sound coming from inside but there was none. I was concerned and worried about her. Her reaction after waking up was nothing like I expected. Maybe she was upset that I locked her in. I was angry and I admit that I may have gone too far but the petrified look in her eyes when she saw me...when I tried to touch her. It made me convinced that there was something else. I was determined to find out what made her like this no matter the cost. I moved away from the door, heading towards my office to see the healer. I didn't bother putting guards at the door because she didn't want to be around any male so it would be triggering if she came out and saw one. I entered my office and Patrick stood up to bow along with his assistant. I waved their form
THIRD PERSON POVMartha couldn't focus on her tasks for the day. It has been like that for the past week. She was worried about Nevaeh. The girl had experienced a lot of things in the last few days. She could remember as clear as day when they discovered her unconscious. A guard raised the alarm. Her body was cold and they were unsure of when she passed out. She remembered the shock on the king's face which was a surprise to her. The bigger surprise was when he had snatched her from the guard, demanding for the healer to be brought in. The healer had checked her and they wished Nevaeh would open her eyes to regain consciousness. She wished Nevaeh would open her eyes so the whole castle would be at ease. Especially the king who didn't try to hide it anymore about what they were. Martha was secretly happy about it. If he was accepting her, it was a good sign even though she was still upset that the king treated his mate the way he did. It was unheard of amongst wolves. Martha tried to
KING TYRON's POVI couldn't believe my eyes. I couldn't understand how the fuck they aren't present in the room. They were supposed to be in here. Nevaeh was not healed enough to be out of this room. I entered, throwing the bathroom doors and closet door but they weren't inside. I stormed out, going down the hallway. Her scent was weak in the hallways which meant that she had come outside. Martha's scent was in the bedroom but it wasn't strong in the hallways. Like she only walked through them. What the fuck did Martha do? I tightened my fists, getting upset at the thought that she just did something stupid. She should have checked in with me before taking Nevaeh out. I won't care about Hermes' feelings and their relationship when I punish her this time. I opened the door at the entrance of the wing. The guards usually present there were standing outside. "Did you see Nevaeh?" they looked in confusion between themselves, not answering my question and worsening my mood. "Did she lea
All the days merged into one. I couldn't tell exactly what date it was. I moved quickly and did all my tasks like a robot. Not speaking to anyone and was just lost in my head. This is how it should have been from the start. My life should have been silent and I wouldn't have attracted the attention of so many. My life wouldn't have turned out horribly. I saw the stars and heard the whispers as I passed. Some pitied me, some mocked me, some didn't care, and some just wanted to speak about what happened. In actual truth, I didn't care. I didn't know a lot of them so their opinions in my life didn't matter. They had not lived a quarter of the life I lived. They had never walked in my shoes. If they had, they wouldn't be spewing all the shit that came out of their mouths. My health and physical life were deteriorating. I didn't need anyone to tell me that. It was very obvious. I had a difficult time eating as each meal ended up in the trash can. I had the most difficult time sleeping too
THIRD PERSON POVHannah was restless. She couldn't sit still even if she forced herself to. Whenever she thought of the current situation, and the way Hermes had spoken to her that day, her desire to find the stupid slave girl and make her pay grew stronger.How dare anyone warn her because of that peasant. She was itching to get her hands on her. So far, she had not made any reasonable plans on what to do with the girl.She knew that this wouldn't be like the other servant girls where the king paid no attention and she was left to do as she pleased. Nobody would turn the other way if they saw her punishing her. The king's reaction..... But even the thought wasn't enough to stop her. If she couldn't do it where she would be seen, then she could do it secretly. Teach the dumb girl a lesson so that she would know to stay away from her male.'He's not ours' her wolf said tiredly. Her human was obsessed with the king. Countless times, she's reminded her that he wasn't their mate but she d
FIVE YEARS LATER Loud squeals reached my ear and I heard the sound of tiny feet running closer to my office. It was only a matter of time until they ran into my office. Jaden was the first to burst in through the door and Alaric followed a few minutes later, panting heavily. "I'm the first to get here. You have to do as I say" Jaden said with a wide smile, excited that he had won whatever bet they placed. Alaric was still struggling to catch his breath and I was worried. I moved towards them immediately, getting to my knees in front of him. "I...I'm okay" Alaric held his hand out for me. "I told you no running. It's bad for your health" I scolded softly. Alaric never completely healed and his lungs didn't get any better. Vigorous activities were too much for him to handle and even when I tried to be lenient and let him do whatever he wanted, we ended up regretting it. He wasn't cut out for some activities. "I'm really okay" "He's done" Jaden pulled at my arm. "You're alway
Two days later and I was lounging in bed with Tyron. He left his office to spend a few minutes away from all the work but it ended up turning into hours. His fingers played over my stomach and he lightly touched me. Since the news, I found him unconsciously touching my stomach always. His hand was always there. And if there was nothing to convince me, that was enough. He liked the idea of a child. And I knew I had nothing to fear, with him and his support, I'd be the best mother. He stiffened under me and I slowly got up from his chest. "Is something wrong?" I asked and he shook his head. "Patrick is here" I suddenly felt tense at the news. "H-hes here?" "Yes. Let's go" It was time to finally find out if I was indeed pregnant. "It's going to be good news" Tyron chipped my chin but I looked away. "What if it's not? You've been so excited by the possibility and then it turns out...""Shhhh" he placed a lone finger over my lips. "I hate that you worry about everything. Even the si
He set me down as we arrived in the room and he closed the door, pulling me by my hair to kiss me again but I stopped him. "Alaric...." "Hermes already has him now. Stop worrying" he kissed my cheeks. Finally feeling relaxed that Alaric was not alone. I stood on the tip of my toes and kissed him hard on the lips, darting my tongue deep into his mouth. A feeling of wanting that I've always felt with him spread through my body. As our kiss broke, I slid my head down and began pulling at the button on his pants, quickly releasing his stiffening cock. He groupâmes loudly, his cock pulsing in my grip and I fell to my knees. My desire to taste him was overwhelming so I put his cock in my mouth and sucked hard. As it grew, I took more into my mouth and was soon bobbing my head up and down, sucking his cock with all the lust I had. I was sucking and taking his cock deep into my throat until my nose was pressed against his abdomen. With a loud grunt, his fingers in my hair tightened and,
Life only got better from then on. After I spoke with Tyron about his attitude and I was able to convince him to stop feeling guilty. He stopped avoiding me completely. I saw him every moment. He dropped whatever he was doing to spend time with us. Alaric and myself. I was happy...free. I had no reason to fear or hide. All my tormentors were gone. Eunice and her family were kept in the dungeons of another pack. Our old pack was merged with a nearby park and the pack no longer existed in the books. I couldn't help but wonder how they felt about what happened. I wanted to feel bad for them because of the change they would have to endure but I couldn’t bring myself to. I didn’t feel sorry for them, not even in the slightest, and maybe that made me a terrible person but I didn’t care. All of them turned a blind eye to the torture I suffered in that pack. They tried to partake in any punishment I was forced to endure. They never felt sorry for me and I shouldn’t feel sorry for them eithe
KING TYRON's POVIt was late at night and I was still busy working. Kaden's pack needed a replacement but my options were limited. Another option I had was simply to merge the pack with another and be done with it. With the way it was going, the latter would be my final decision. I still had to sit with the advisors and debate on it though. I moved the stack of papers and faced another one when the door to my office suddenly opened. I looked up in surprise and saw Hermes.I wasn't expecting him to still be up since it was very late in the night. "Do you need something, Hermes?""I was wondering if you need any help with work. You've kept late nights for a few days and I'm wondering if the workload is so much""No. I can handle it. Go to bed" I said dismissing him. Instead of leaving like I wanted, Hermes came forward. I groaned in annoyance and leaned back on my chair."What do you really want Hermes?""I'm concerned about you. Everybody is. Is there something that is going on with
Her words rang in the large hall and everywhere went silent. I could feel all the eyes on me, judging...my airways close up and I struggled to breathe. I couldn't be here anymore. I stood up from my seat and rushed out of the hall. I ignored my name being called and ran faster, my heart beating as I tried to get away. Tears welled in my eyes, blurring my vision as I made an escape. Strong hands grabbed my upper arm and pulled me to a stop. From his scent, I knew it was Tyron. I tried to get out of his hold but he tightened his grip. "Look at me Nevaeh" he commanded but I couldn't. "Look at me Nevaeh...please" his voice was softer this time, pleading instead of commanding. I raised my head and met his eyes, tears still blurring my vision. "What did Eunice mean by what she said" My head dropped again. There was no emotion in his eyes. They were simply just blank and I had no idea what he was thinking. He wasn't supposed to find out at least. He wasn't supposed to find out at all. I w
I jumped out of bed immediately, confused. How was he gone? Who took him? I flicked the switch on the wall. There was no sign of him anywhere. I already started thinking the worst about what could have happened to my baby who was in bed with me. I opened the connecting door and came to a halt once I took in the sight at the center of Tyron's bedroom. He was seated in a rocking chair with Alaric in his arms. Relief flooded me but then I had questions. Why did he take him away from the bed? Did something happen while I was asleep? Why didn't anyone wake me up? I walked closer and Tyron's eyes flashed open. "Nevaeh?" He looked surprised to see me. "When did you wake up?" "A few minutes ago. I didn't see Alaric and I was frightened. What happened? Why did you take him out of the room?" "He was crying and I didn't want you to wake up so I brought him here""W-what..." I mumbled in shock. "He was crying?" If he was crying then..."He woke up?" I asked with teary eyes and Tyron nodded.
The rusty smell of the dungeon churned my stomach. The single guard at the entrance granted us entry after the other guards whispered something into his ear that I couldn't quite catch. "I'm looking for the newest prisoner," I said to him while trying so hard not to throw up. The stench from the dungeon was just too much. The guards exchanged looks at my request but nodded anyway. He led me further into the dungeon and the smell only got worse. We stopped at a locked door and the guard pulled it open. There was a little room between the door and the cells. Cautiously, I drew closer and took in the sight of a disheveled Colton. He had knives sticking into various parts of his body. There was a strong smell of blood and other fluids I was too disgusted to mention. His head lifted slowly and our eyes met. "W-what are you doing here?" He drawled in a disoriented voice. "I wanted to see you" I looked behind me and those guards were gone. "What for...to tell me how horrible I am?" He sc
I remained by Juanita's side, holding her hands. Another fit of cough started and more blood spilled from her mouth. I looked away, blinking the tears in my eyes. I couldn't look at her in this condition without feeling like my heart was going to tear into a million pieces. Knowing what the end of held made it even worse. "I-I'm fine. You don't need to cry for me" "I'm not crying" I sniffled. I wish there was something I could do so we didn't lose her like this. "Although it was for a short while...I'm happy to have known you" Her voice was weaker now, and she coughed loudly. "You're such a long person...that is what attracted me to you the first time. So different from Amaris...it made me wonder how you were friends""Save your energy," I said to her. I feared if she kept on talking, the cough would return. The force of it worsened each time and I feared it would soon be the last. "No. I don't have much time left""Stop saying that" I didn't want to be reminded. We shouldn't eve
