CHAPTER NINETY."Tegan. Good morning." Baldwin greeted with a raspy voice over the phone."It's eight am in the morning and you are still in bed?" Tegan asked and laughed cheerfully. "I'm a Beta, not a grade schooler. Work doesn't start until nine.""Ah… I see." "Why are you calling me so early in the morning? This has never happened." Tegan chuckled."I know, right." She unconsciously wrapped a few strands of hair around her left index finger and twirled it as she thought of how to break the news about the silver to him. "I called because I want to tell you something important. I wanted to wait for you to get the news first, but I figured you'd be upset if you had to find out what I'm about to do after hearing the results, so I said to tell you first.""I sure would have been. What's it you want to tell me? Shoot." He scrunched his skull with his fingers as he patiently waited for her to speak."The things I've truly been upset about Reign being pregnant and having Alpha Kai's att
CHAPTER NINETY-ONE."Come in." Baldwin insteucted when he heard a knock on his office door. Because he knew who it was already, he closed the book he was scribbling things on and set aside. The door opened and Gisele, the servant girl who didn't serve the poison, walked into the office with an unsure look on her face. She looked frightened. "Good day to you Beta Baldwin." She greeted him respectfully. Baldwin simply nodded his head and gestured to her to take the seat across from him. Hesitantly, she did and soon, they were facing each other."Your name is Gisele, right?" He asked carefully."Yes. I'm Gisele.""How did you get close to Tegan?" He asked with creased brows. Since the silver incident, he had been trying to understand how Tegan got so close and comfortable with a maid to the extent where she trusted that maid enough to send her on such a dangerous mission without any fear that she could get ratted out.Gisele clammed her sweaty hands together and played with her fingers.
CHAPTER NINETY-TWO.Reign, after her conversation with Baldwin had still not calmed down. She was mad at Tegan and she wanted to meet with her so she could give her a piece of her mind. For about one hour now, she had been going over to Tegan's bedroom to see if she was in it, but she had been all the time she went to check.Reign was frustrated.She was getting impatient.The anger boiling in her heart had turned into a fireball and she was ready to shoot it straight at Tegan's face so she could feel her wrath."What are you doing here?" A voice asked as she was about to knock on Tegans room door for the umpteenth time that day. She stopped, turned around and her eyes met with a familiar face. It was Lucy, Tegan's personal servant."Lucy. Hi!" She tried to be polite, the scorn on Lucy's face didn't wipe off.Like her Mistress, she despised Reign."I asked you a question. What are you doing here?""I just want to see Tegan." Reign forced a smile."Tegan stepped out, so stop knocking
CHAPTER NINETY-THREE.Reign finally fell asleep after all her screaming and fighting. Alpha Kai, who had been watching her sleep for a while now, stood up from the bed and looked down at her, while sighing heavily.Her words had been ringing in his mind.Tegan tried to poison her so she could have lost their baby.His heir.The Supreme heir.Even his wolf, Kol, was against him dismissing that topic without carrying out any proper investigation and that investigation was going to start by asking Tegan what happened.As quietly as he could, he exited his bedroom and headed straight for Tegan's."Alpha Kai." Tegan called in horror when she opened the door and saw his rigid self standing before her, with a no nonsense look on his face."Can I come in?" His cold voice asked. Tegan instantly nodded her head and stepped away from the doorway. As Alpha Kai walked into her bedroom, her heart began pounding hard in her chest.Her room was like a chamber of secrets.Just in the bathroom were emp
CHAPTER NINETY-FOUR."Whoever it is, go away. I don't want to talk to anyone right now." Reign shouted grumpily from the bed when she heard a knock on the door.She was in a very sour mood.Once more, Alpha Kai had decided to overlook her words despite the fact that what she claimed to have happened was a matter of life and death. If Gisele had put the poison in her food, she would be in a bad place by then, all because of Tegan, but as usual, Alpha Kai did not believe it.She was devastated and didn't want to speak with anyone for the rest of the day.The knock on the door came through again. That was the third time. Whoever it was, kept persisting. Reign groaned in annoyance and stepped down from the bed to go open the door."You!" She scolded when age opened the door and saw Tegan smiling evilly at her. "What are you doing…" She didn't get to finish her question because Tegan rudely pushed her away from the door and stepped into the bedroom.Reign looked at her in awe."I can see
CHAPTER NINETY-FIVE.Baldwin was smiling all the way back to his chambers. What Alpha Kai had agreed to do made him so happy, he wanted to sing with joy, but he knew he had to hold himself back especially in Tegan's presence.She has to stay innocent and unsuspecting throughout the time of Alpha Kai's investigation so she won't say anything to her father that will put them in a tight spot."Soon Tegan…" He whispered under his breath. "Just very soon, you and your father's plans will be ruined and everyone in your family involved in this scheme will be punished accordingly." He muttered.He was feeling a bit tipsy and as he walked, he staggered a few times, but his mind was still intact. He and Alpha Kai had drunk a great quantity of tequila, but he seemed to be the only one who had gotten tipsy."Beta Baldwin." A guard called as he walked into his living room."Yes… whoever you are." He slurred. The guard chuckled."You look wasted!""I'm not." He argued. "If you say so.” The guard
CHAPTER NINETY-SIX.Alpha Kai didn't get any sleep all night. He kept thinking. Wondering. Praying and begging the Moon goddess for Reign to be wrong because letting her go was going to shatter his heart into pieces.It had been almost three months since he brought Reign to his castle.Only three months and he was already addicted to her.She was like a drug that he was addicted to and her absence would make him lose his mind.He kept thinking, maybe if he had believed her the first time she mentioned the fact that Tegan wasn't who she claimed to be, she would not have given him the divorce condition.But then, it was too late. She had laid down her terms and he could have refused. He had the power to decline, but he couldn't because the last thing he wanted was for Reign to hate him.That was something he would never be able to bear.A knock on his office door jabbed him out of his thoughts. Soon, the door opened and Baldwin walked in, meticulously dressed. His eyes were trained on
CHAPTER NINETY-SEVEN."Pick up your fucking phone!" Baldwin cursed for the third time as he persistently dialed Alpha Ace's phone number even though he wasn't picking up.After the conversation he just had with Alpha Kai about Reign striking a divorce deal with him, he couldn't contain his joy. That's why he wanted to share the good news with Alpha Ace and tell him to prepare to receive Reign."But he won't fuck take his…""And why do you keep blowing my phone with annoying calls?" An annoyed voice spoke over the phone, cutting Baldwin off. He stopped, took in a deep breath and wished Alpha Ace could see the scowl on his face."Where have you been?""Don't fucking ask me that kind of question. What do you want?""You are being very rude after ignoring my calls. I might as well deprive you from hearing this very good news."And their banter had begun.They argued like children almost everytime they spoke to each other.Alpha Ace sighed over the phone tiredly and asked;"What good news?
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
