CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND NINE.The first thing Tegan did when she returned from her father's pack that morning was take a warm bath and throughout that bath, she kept thinking about the conversation she had with her brother, Alexis. It had settled all the worries she had in her heart about Baldwin possibly betraying her. He had not.She was sure because as her brother rightly said, Alpha Kai would have skinned her alive if he knew anything about her plot to take him down.So, if Baldwin had not ratted her out, it meant he was still on her side. But now, what bothered her was the cold shoulders he had been giving her since the day Reign that castle. She was worried.Baldwin had turned down her body two times. That had never happened before. Instead, it used to be the reverse. Her, refusing to sleep with him, but now, it seemed like she was the one who was eager to have sex with him."I have to find out what the problem is!" She murmured to herself as she stepped out of the shower and be
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TEN.The blasting sound of Reign's ringtone woke her up that morning. Her eyes were still shut close and since she had no intentions of waking up anytime soon, she stretched her right hand, sideways and blindly searched for her phone on the nightstand. When she got a hold of the phone, she instinctively swiped the green icon and pressed the phone against her ear."Hello." She croaked sleepily."Good morning, Baby."That voice That compelling baritone voice was a voice she would recognize anywhere, anytime.It belonged to no one else but her mate.Every idea of going back to sleep after taking the call wiped off her mind and she jumped up from the bed, sitting upright. Her hair scattered all over face, some getting into her mouth and she had to use her free hand to get the hair out of her face and get mouth."Alpha Kai!" She called, shocked.Five days.It had been five, long, excruciating days since she had been waiting for him to call her and he finally did.
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVEN.That morning, After Baldwin showed Tegan the secret vault and told her everything she needed to know about how to go about stealing the Staff of Supremacy, she wanted to call her father and tell him over the phone, but after a second thought, she changed her mind.She had waited five years for that moment.That was her mission in that pack.To find out the instrument that made Alpha Kai so powerful. Where it was being kept and how they could steal it and she had done just that.She had actually accomplished the mission her father sent her on and the only thing stopping her from returning back to her pack was the fact that Alpha Kai was going to get suspicious. She was going to stay in the pack till the day her father would come over and steal the Staff, then she'll go back with him.But before then, she had to go over and tell the good news and with Baldwin's help, she was able to leave the Mystic Woodland Catsle without any guards like Alpha Kai had i
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWELVE.Tegan's issue was a still that greatly fascinated Alpha Kai. She had come into his pack, deceived him, made a fool of him and was on the road accomplishing her main purposes of coming to his castle and if not for his mate, he would probably still be in the dark.He couldn't even be angry.Her guts fascinated him. Intrigued him. Shocked him.She was indeed her father's daughter.After Baldwin left his office, he left as well. He came back home and stayed in his living room, waiting for Tegan to return from her father's pack. He knew she was going to lie about her whereabouts and that's exactly what he wanted to see; her, lying with a straight face.He wanted to see the face she had been putting on for the past five years as she effortlessly deceived him.He checked the time on his watch and it read four pm. He had been waiting for one hour and he wasn't getting impatient. He had all the time to wait."Alpha Kai." One of his guys on stand-by called. He l
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN.SATURDAY NIGHT."Alpha Ace!"Alpha Kai called the moment he saw Alpha Ace walk into the living room with Baldwin leading the way."Alpha Kai.""What's going on?" He asked, shocked. He was expecting to see Alpha."I heard someone is trying to take what does not belong to him. I'm here to help you fight him off. It's my duty to protect the Supreme throne from being ascended by the wrong person." Ace explained and Kai casted Baldwin a confused look.Baldwin simply smiled."He has been in on this plan for some time."What?" Alpha Kai asked aghast."There's no time to explain. Tegan is already calling. Her father should and his men should be here already. Alpha Ace, do you have your men ready?""Yes. They are stationed on every corner here. We are ready for them." Alpha Kai was still looking at them, confused.Alpha Ace knew about their plan.Alpha Ace had come to fight with himAlpha Ace was on his side."You guys have a lot of explanation to do once all
M CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN.The entire place was in chaos. Soldiers now in their human forms were dragging dead bodies out of the castle. Alpha Kai and Baldwin quarrelling.Alpha Ace was completely lost."Baldwin!" He called at the top of his voice as he hastily rushed after him. Baldwin stopped walking and waited for him to catch up."What's going on?" Asked Alpha Ace, panting. His entire body was drenched with perspiration from all the fighting they had done that night. "Why did I see the staff with Alpha Mason? ""Alpha Ace." Baldwin called lifelessly. His eyes were red and his face was as pale as that of a ghost. He looked lifeless!"Tegan said something about you betraying Alpha Kai and I waited for you to defend yourself and tell us it was a lie but you said nothing. Alpha Kai looks like he's about to lose his mind. I don't know if we've won or lost this war.""We've not lost the war. We are still perfectly on track!""Is that so? Then why did Alpha Kai ask you to leave?
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN.After his discussion with Baldwin, Alpha Ace set out to meet Alpha Kai. The servants told him Alpha Kai was in the living room in his chambers, drinking wildly and he was on his way there to meet him.He felt sorry for Alpha Kai. He was under the notion that his Beta had betrayed him which was not true.Alpha Ace himself knew that he would not take things lightly if he were to one day find out that his Beta, who was his most trusted official, had betrayed him. That was something he knew he would never come to terms with.When he arrived at the living room, as expected, he met Alpha Kai seated by his wine bar, drinking tequila directly from its bottle. Calmly, carefully, he walked over and took the next seat by his side."My father told me it was bad manners to drink directly from the wine bottle." He cautioned."With all his good manners, he still ended up six feet. So, leave me alone." Aloha Kai fired back. Ace chuckled and shook his head. He knew Kai
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN.Alpha Kai didn't know why, but he felt a bit relieved after his conversation with Alpha Ace.He had not confirmed yet, but it felt good to hear from someone else that Baldwin had not betrayed. Even though a huge part of him kept telling him that Baldwin's loyalty had swayed, he was still holding onto Alpha Ace's words and hoping that they were true because he didn't know how he was going to handle Baldwin's betrayal.It would shatter him into pieces."Alpha Ace." The guards in the dungeon called with their heads bowed down the moment he showed up."Where's she?" He asked, referring to Tegan.He wanted to see her. Talk to her. Make her understand that she had not fooled him as much as she thought she had."This way, Alpha." The guard led the way to a cell, which from outside, he could see sitting on her butt at a corner with her knees curled up to her chest and her hands wrapped around them. Her head was on her knees and she was sobbing. The moment she
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY.ONE MONTH LATER.The entire hospital was in chaos as Reign was being walked into the hospital, with Alpha Kai holding her so she didn't lose her balance.She was in labor. A wheelchair had been brought for her to sit in so she could be wheeled into the labor room, but she declined. She insisted on walking there by herself.With each wave of contraction that came, she felt like someone was ripping her abdominal organs out of her body. There was a dull pain in her back and abdomen, together with pressure in her pelvis.She had never felt anything of that sort before. Her entire body was drenched with sweat and she had her lips pursed to prevent her screams from coming out, but the next wave of contracts hit her and she couldn't hold back.She screamed at the top of her voice, her eyes dilated and even the nurses who tried to tell her how to breathe felt sorry for her. She couldn't keep up with the breathing techniques.Alpha Kai was very close to burstin
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-NINE.Reign cried ugly when she was told about Tegan's death. She held a memorial at the castle for Tegan and everyone who knew her came to pay their last respects.She was buried the next day at her father's castle and in attendance at her funeral were Alpha Kai, Reign, Baldwin, Alpha Mason, and many others, including her father.After her burial, he was publicly executed for committing treason by hanging in the presence of all the other Alphas. That served as a warning to anyone who had thought of doing the same thing he tried to do.When the tragedies were over and the entire werewolf world was stable again, Alpha Kai marked Reign as his mate, her Luna coronation was done and they got married again and this time around, it was a grand occasion.Reign officially became the Supreme Luna of the entire werewolf world and the fact that she was expecting the heir to the Supreme throne made everyone treat her like a goddess.Everything had changed for the be
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-EIGHT.Alpha Kai woke up feeling anew that morning. Just a few days ago, he thought he was going to perish with the problems that were lined up before him to be solved but he had done that within the twinkle of an eye.The people he wrongly accused had forgiven him. They even went along with him to fight an enemy whom he easily defeated and his mate whom he had offended more than anyone else, let him have sex with her which means she had forgiven him and she was ready to give their relationship another try.To say he was happy was an understatement. He was exhilarated by how things had turned up. Everything had happened in his favor."You lucky bastard!" Said Kol as he walked to the mirror to inspect himself. He chuckled and shook his head as he carefully tucked his t-shirt into his jeans and buckled up his belt.He was going to bring Reign back home so he didn't see the need to dress formerly."If I'm a bastard, what then are you?""A gentle wolf!" Alp
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SEVEN."Father! Wake up! We have been ambushed. There are soldiers everywhere in the castle premises!" Alexis' alarming voice woke Alpha Mason up from his slumber and the noise he heard coming from his castle premises made him understand that they were under attack. As fast as he could, he got dressed in an army suit and went downstairs to see what was going on, not failing to bring along his Staff of Supremacy.When he arrived outside, he was expecting to witness a gory scene, but what he saw was almost funny.He thought he would meet all his guards slaughtered and lined up, but instead, he let them tied up in ropes in a bunch at a corner. They couldn't move."What is going on here?" He asked again and Alexis joinedhim. Just then, the perpetrators showed up.Alpha Kai, Alpha Angelis and Alpha Ace together with their various Betas and Omegas came out from a corner and Alpha Alpha Mason had never been so shocked in his life.The only thing that gave him c
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SIX."Good morning Alpha Kai." Both Baldwin and the Omega of the pack greeted in unison as he walked into his office.He was feeling very enthusiastic that morning because he had solved one big problem, which was getting his mate's parents to forgive him. Not only were they on good terms now, but they had also promised to assist him in fighting against Alpha Mason."Good morning Baldwin, Conrad. Please take your seats." He showed them the sofas and they did as told. He sat on the sofa across from them and spread out the rolled-up paper he had in his hand. It was a map."A map?" Asked Baldwin. Alpha Kai nodded."The map of the Blood Claw castle. It shows us every strategic corner and point of the castle where he positions soldiers who are always ready for any sort of ambush. If we study this map carefully, we can come up with a way to ambush that castle without losing any len to surprise comebacks.""I'm not going to ask how you got this map, but it's bri
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE."And, here's the last pill for you to take," Gisele announced as she stretched her palm containing the pill to Reign who grudgingly picked it up and put it in her mouth before pushing it down with water.They had gotten close since they arrived at the Warrior Howl Pack and Gisele had taken it upon herself to make sure that Reign was comfortable and healthy."Thank you very much, Gisele, you are the right motivation I need to take these pills every day.""Don't you worry? It'll soon be over and you won't need to take tablets anymore.""I hope it's soon." She smiled and looked down at Reign's stomach. "It's been one month already, two more months to go!""Two months is a long time!""I know, right." She rose from the bedside and began packing the medicine kits back in the nightstand drawer where they were being kept."Gisele.""Yes, Luna." Reign cringed at the mention of the word Luna, before her name.She had still not gotten used to being addresse
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FOUR."You didn't spend the night here, did you?" Asked Baldwin as he walked into Alpha Kai's office. Alpha calmly shook his head as he emptied the cup of coffee in his hand and placed it on the table.It had not been long since he returned from the Warrior Howl Pack where he spent the night cuddling and taking care of Reign. He only left her that morning because she threatened not to think about giving their relationship another chance."No, I did not!" Baldwin smiled foolishly.He was happy.When Alpha Ace called to him that Alpha Kai would be spending the night with Reign, he couldn't contain his joy.That was a very good sign.It means soon, his favorite couple will be back together."How's Reign feeling?" Alpha Kai gave him a sharp glare."How did you know I was with her?" He asked sternly. Baldwin cleared his throat and scratched the back of his hair."Uh…um… A little Birdy whispered to me.""And is that little Birdy six foot tall with a perfect mu
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-THREE.Since the day Alpha Mason brought what he believed to the Staff of Supremacy to his back, it has not left his sight. He bathed, ate, walked around, and slept with the staff. He has not stopped talking about his great accomplishments.He has even gone as far as sending out word to the other Alphas about his victory over the Supreme Alpha and inviting them for his self-planned coronation ceremony.He believed with all his heart that the staff in his possession was the true instrument of Supremacy and that after the coronation, all the power in the staff would be bestowed upon him and he would officially become the Supreme Alpha of the entire world.At that moment, nothing else mattered to him, not even his daughter, Tegan, who was locked up in Alpha Kai's dungeon at the Mystic Woodland Pack."Father," Alexis called as he walked into his father's living room. He was comfortably seated on his throne, the staff in his hand and he was admiring it as usu
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-TWO.Alpha Kai's mind was so cramped up, that he thought it was going to explode anytime soon.There were so many things that needed his attention. So many things he had to do.The first and most important on that list was to convince his mate to give their relationship another chance. He also had to go over to her parents' pack and apologize for wrongly accusing them of a crime he did not commit and then he had to come up with a plan on how to stop Alpha Mason's plan of dethroning him.All those problems were like a mountain standing before him which he had to either break down or pass through to see the light. None of those tasks were easy.Sighing for the one-millionth time that day, he dialed Reign's number again. It rang endlessly but still did not pick up. He had been trying to reach her for hours, but wouldn't pick up her calls and not get frustrated.He wanted to talk to her. Plead with her to consider giving him another chance, but that would b
