LAVENDER’S POVThis action of his was really disturbing to me. I stared at the door for some time. I couldn’t hold him back or follow him immediately after he left the room. I sucked in my breath, trying to make myself feel better about this, but I knew if I did not have his approval, I would not be able to do it.As husband and wife, we were partners in every sense, and I expected us to be united in our decisions. We were supposed to be a team, working together to find common ground and come to a mutual agreement. It cannot be one-sided.I did not want to have any issue with him. What was he scared of? Delilah did not make mention of the possibility of the antidote killing me. It was merely pain and yes, I did not like pain, but I would scale through for us.I paused, unable to make up my mind on what to do now. I turned my attention to the potion, which was open in my hands, and I took my gaze to Delilah. “Am I doing the right thing? Is he upset because it is wrong?” I asked her, un
LAVENDER’S POVThe bang came from outside the mansion. Alpha Caramel quickly sprang to his feet, heading for the door while I trailed behind him. The moment we stepped out of the room, Beta Asher rushed to him and from the look of it, there was no good news waiting for us.“What is going on?” Caramel asked immediately.“Alpha Toot just breached the border. They are already close to the mansion as we speak,” Beta Asher told him.Alpha Toot. I had only heard of that name today, and I dreaded it. That was my father. Why was he here? I did not have to ask as Asher added, “I think he is here for Lavender.”“Me?” the question flew out of my mouth without me thinking.I quickly turned to Caramel. “I don’t want to go with him. I want to stay here with you,” I told him.I had not met him, but I feared him. Why would he want me? Did he want to punish me? Did he want to act like the father he was not years ago? That was highly unlikely. Why would he want me now? I had nothing special he might ne
ALPHA CARAMEL’S POVThis was a planned attack, but we were going to take them down. Alpha Toot could not win this for whatever reason. I am not going to let him get close to Lavender for any reason.There was surely a horrible motive for coming here today, and I was going to stop him at any cost. From my quick calculation, I noticed there were at least fifty wolves with him. I quickly transformed into lodging at anyone who tried to stop me.With quick bites and clawing, I ended them. There was a pattern, but I was trying as much as possible not to look into it at the moment. They seemed oddly weak for my liking. For someone as mischievous as Alpha Toot, he would not possibly bring weak wolves with you to come and fight me.This was not our first rodeo, so he knew how prepared I was for every battle. I did not have to do much, and the wolves were already dead. However, it was challenging to pinpoint where Alpha Toot was. Everywhere was rowdy, so it was hard to spot him.I moved as fast
ALPHA CARAMEL’S POVI quickly turned my head to the side. I saw an arrow coming towards me, moving incredibly fast. I stared at it as it got closer. I couldn’t think of who might have shot the arrow. The arrow came to me as a shock.Quickly, I moved to the side with the arrow barely inches away from my body. Without further ado, I turned to face Alpha Toot. He appeared happy, though his look hadn’t altered from the way it was earlier.I transformed into my human self, eyes boring holes into him. “I do not know what you have planned, Alpha Toot, but I advise you to leave this pack now,” I said.He scuffed at my words but said nothing after. I picked up a sword closer to me and marched towards him, my sword raised to end him if need be. However, Alpha Toot also had a sword with him. He took it out and stopped my sword from getting to him.With full force, I tried not to allow him to get the better of me. I moved away to preserve my strength. Then I moved forward and swung my sword at hi
ALPHA CARAMEL’S POVI took a glance behind me but saw no one. Was he trying to distract me? “Leave!” I barked, and he turned around, his wolves; injured and not injured trailed behind him as they left. I watched them closely, making sure not to miss anyone who chose to stay.Due to their large number and injured ones, it took some time for them to leave. The moment they were out the gates, the guards quickly shut the large gates. Beta Asher walked over to me, but I did not want to look at him. My eyes remain on the gates.“They were unable to get close to the mansion. No one went in,” he informed me, and I was glad to hear that.If they were unable to get in, it meant Lavender and everyone else were safe.I pondered his words deeply but did not budge from my position. And my gaze did not leave the gates. “Take the injured wolves to the hospital. The bill should be sent to me,” I told him before finally taking my eyes off the gates to meet his gaze.He bowed before walking away to do as
Alpha CARAMEL'S POV One of the best qualities of being an Alpha is the fact that I can remain calm even in tough situations, but unfortunately, this situation differed completely from any other. Going insane was not too far from where I was because I had not yet found my wife. I was still trying to wrap my head around it when they announced that Joanna was also missing.“Search this mansion now!” I commanded the guards who were scattered around. They bowed and quickly went on their way to carry out what I had instructed. Axel was barely keeping it together. I was close to get into that point too. Lavender just had to be found. She must be in this mansion. Beta Asher had told me that no one went into the mansion, so where could Lavender and Joanna be?I folded my fist, trying to suppress my emotions because they were slowly getting to the surface. A couple of times, I glanced at the couch to take a seat, but I did not have the energy to do so. I kept pacing up and down. After thirty m
Alpha CARAMEL’S POV Without wasting a single second, I jumped up to my feet, and they led me to what they had found. Since the end of the fight, I had not stepped into my study as I had to find Lavender. That’s where they were leading me to, though. I tried to guess what it might be, but I had not thought it would be something as gruesome as what was being shown to me.A guard torn up like an animal. His hands and legs were completely shredded. A part of his head was visibly broken. It must have been smashed a couple of times. It seemed the fight happened in the study too. There were blood splashes scattered around, ranging from my desk to the door itself. It was a tough fight from how scattered the room was. My study is soundproof, so I understood why no one could hear the fight happening when it did. It was for confidential reasons that I made it so. “Someone had nailed him to the back of the door, and when we pushed it open, he fell. That’s not all,” Beta Asher said, then walked
Joanna’s POVI tilted my head to the side with my eyes closed. The pain I was feeling all over my body was massive, but the pain in my head was hurting more. All I could see for a few minutes was darkness as I tried to move. I was unable to move due to the pain that radiated throughout my body.My breathing was heavy, and I was finding it difficult to continue breathing. I turned my head to the other side again, trying to find some comfort. My mind was blank, and I had no idea what was happening. I heard sounds around me, but it felt as though it was far off from me but also close. It was a confusing feeling.I decided to rest for a while to regain my strength. It took me some time, but I still was unable to move my body but I was regaining my consciousness. I tried to open my eyes, but I quickly shut them back, as the light was too much. My eyelids could barely stay open.I wanted to push my body to work, but I needed to understand something. For some time I could not remember things
Lavender's POV Grey scared me for a moment there. He only wanted to inform me that his coronation ceremony was going to be happening in 3 days. Since he was the sole heir of Alpha Toot, he was obliged to take over, as a pack required an alpha at all times. Without a leader, the pack would become vulnerable to other Alphas seeking to assert their power. According to him, it was the fastest way to get me to listen to what he was saying. I had to help him go shopping for the things he would meet during and after the coronation. There were a few things he already had an idea of, but others Alpha Caramel helped him with it. Alpha Caramel was a great help and in no time, I was watching the councils of Midnight Pack crown my brother as the new Alpha of Midnight Pack. “This is the new Alpha of the Midnight pack,” the council announced, and a guard rushed in and whispered something into Grey's ears. His mood dropped, but then it became that of nonchalance before he nodded at the guard, w
Lavender's POVThis was exactly the way I wanted it to be. Surrounded by people I love while I walk towards the love of my life. Everyone had smiling faces, and they were all in support of the gathering, and the Union about to happen. I was dressed in a dress that I wanted to put on, and not because I was forced to put it on. My makeup and the style of my hair were duly discussed with me, and I loved every bit of it. My mother, my father, Delilah, Grey, and the people, were all in support of my union with Alpha Caramel. They all had smiles on their faces. Mum looked like she was about to cry. My family was with me, and I was filled with so much joy, and satisfaction to be here walking down the aisle to meet him. The one person that has shown me what love is about. Alpha Caramel has showered me with so much love that I could barely explain it to anyone. I did not mind falling in love with him over, and over again throughout my lifetime. He stood at the altar, putting on a sky-blue tux
Alpha Caramel's POV I was surprised to hear this. I knew the answers I was giving Lavender concerning if the people had accepted her, and would accept her as the Luna of the pack. The issue was I did not care if they accepted her or not at this point because their reasons for rejecting her were not valid according to what I think. They loved her before they realized that Alpha Toot had made some stupid pronouncement that made it seem like she was not eligible to be the Luna of the pack. Since the last time I spoke with the council, I never again had any meeting with them. They were important aspects of the pack but due to their nonchalance, and demeaning words, I could not trust them to help me get Lavender back as I felt they would try to frustrate every effort I put into the plans to get her. I was sure they were more than aware of this. I was not planning on trying to convince them or giving them reasons why Lavender was the best candidate for the position. Just the fact that I
Lavender's POVI walked into the ward staring at Alpha Caramel who had his eyes closed. It has been two days since the war. He woke up a day after and was left to stay in the hospital so he could be monitored. The wolf's bane has not been completely expelled from his system and would take some time before that happens. I was glad that at least he was better. I took out the flask which I brought with me to the hospital so he would eat. “Caramel,” I called him softly. He opened his eyes and turned to me with a smile. “My love,” he said which made my cheeks turn red. He took my hand and then placed a kiss on the back of my palm. “You look beautiful today,” he complimented. Ever since you woke up, he had been complimenting me. He always complimented me but this was a little too much because, at every slight opportunity, he does it.“You look handsome as usual.” Now I helped him sit up. “You need to eat. Mum said you need to eat so that you'll be able to take your drugs.” I told him.
Lavender's POV“Caramel!” I yelled at the top of my lungs as the arrow entered his body. The effect of the wolf's bane acted immediately. He groaned, and transformed back to his human form, holding the side of his stomach where the arrow was. He tried standing up, but he fell back almost immediately. The Alpha rogue was walking towards him with a sly smile. I could already tell that you wanted to kill Caramel. I ran as fast as I could but I was too far from where he was. The person that was close to him was the Alpha rogue. He was walking in measured steps but I knew he would get to him before I could. This realization made me cry. They wanted to kill him. They wanted to kill my husband. I didn't want that to happen. I could not allow that to happen. I want to save him. I need to save him. “Please moon goddess, don't let them take him from me. Please.” I said as I shut my eyes, trying to wipe off the tears. The Alpha rogue got close to Alpha Caramel. “No,” I yelled, and the next sec
Lavender's POVThe Alpha Rogue held my wrist very tight as he pulled me out of the hall. I had no idea where he was taking me, and I did not want to go anywhere he was taking me to. I wanted to go to Alpha Caramel. It had been so long, and finally he was here. I had waited for him for a very long time, and he was here now. I wanted to go to him because I knew that he was here for me. He waged this war because he wanted to get me back. I was scared, and I needed to be with Caramel but the alpha rogue did not listen to me, and kept pulling me. No matter how many times I told him that it was hurting me he refused to listen to me. He kept on with what he was doing, and soon we were out of the hall. A part of me wanted to scream but then the thought that I might alert Alpha Toot came to mind, and I decided to keep quiet. I kept asking where he was taking me to but he refused to give me any reply. Not long, and we were on the battlefield. I kept looking around trying to find Caramel so h
Alpha Caramel's POV My heart instantly fell to the ground at this. Lavender's eyes were wide open as she watched the arrow come for her chest. I quickly ran forward to be able to stop it even though at the back of my mind I knew I would not be able to get to her in time before the arrow went into her body. Just before the arrow could get into her body, someone rushed forward and slapped it to the ground in time. I heaved a sigh of relief at this. I had no idea who this person was, and I had never seen him in my pack so I did not believe he was part of us. I was more than grateful to him either way for saving my wife from the arrow which I had thrown. “Grey,” I heard Lavender mutter which made me know the person's name. It seemed that they knew each other. Staring at the boy a bit longer, I realized that he had some resemblance with Alpha Toot. I always knew that Alpha Toot had a child, but I had never met him before. I was not too sure about his motive since he was his father's chil
Alpha Caramel's POV The day for the attack finally came, and everyone was more than prepared for it. We were not too sure what to expect, but we kept our minds open to anything that might happen. The spies that were sent had not reported back to us, and it was a little worrying. We were going in blind because we had a proper picture of what we were entering into. I spoke to everyone, giving them the strength to go with me and win this war. We were going to save my wife and crown her the Luna of the pack because that was what she deserved. My mother was very worried for me. She did not state it outrightly but from her body expression, and how much she kept telling me to take care of myself, and ensure that I am fully protected, told me all I needed to know. I assured her that I was going to come back. She nodded at my words but was not fully convinced. She knew that when it came to war no one could tell if they would win or not. However, she was once a seer of the pack. Once I was a
Lavender's POV It was finally the day for my supposed mating ceremony. I was meant to have escaped the previous day but here I was seated before the dressing table I had gotten used to, being dolled up as usual. I was dressed up in a much heavier dress, and heavy makeup with jewelry that I hated. The Restrictor was not placed on my arm but I knew I could not run away. My mother was back in her room with a gun to her head. If I tried anything fishy, then she was going to be shot instantly. I did not want that for her, and I was going to behave so long as they were not going to kill her. I really wished that we would have successfully escaped from here but the universe was not on my side. Everything I did to escape from this place seems to have been void in One Way or another. I knew this was not my fate, and I did not want to accept it. However, what could I do? I could no longer fight it. I can't run away. My mother's life was on the line, and if I did anything stupid, I could get h
