Rose’s POV: Alex lay on the bed in evident pain, fighting for breath. My wolf Zara shared his suffering from our spiritual connection. Helpless, I watched the mighty Alpha king weakened by illness. "Can you move a little closer to him?" the old physician asked.A silly thought crossed my mind - "Is this some Jack and Rose romance?" I jested to myself. Still, I complied and shifted closer to Alex. The physician maintained a stoic expression, revealing nothing of his intentions. I wondered if he wanted to unite Alex and me, given his persistent optimism regarding Alex. Alex's phone beeped - a message, judging by how the physician handled it. He typed a reply with a hint of a smile. Bee, my friend who had accompanied me, was nowhere to be seen. "Ah, where's that girl, your friend?" the physician inquired. I tensed, wondering where Bee had slipped off to in my time of need. Unable to betray her sudden absence, I feigned
Rose’s POV:In the next morning after the full moon, new energy flowed through the werewolves. Autumn at its finest and highest, the end of the growing season was ending. Today’s November 20, I woke up from the bed a whole renewed sense of strength filled up in me. I feel extremely confident like nothing actually strange happened during the full moon phase. I strode to the bathroom eww it doesn’t look pleasant, not that I am a dirty person. And perfectly Saturday, the day I majorly own my time for myself so I would clean it today. I shut the door of the bathroom and just at the wrong time my stomach rumbled -I think I need to shit "uh no not this time”, I said like I could speak to my stomach. Unfortunately my toilet shared space with my bathroom... my disturbing stomach wasn’t that bad I feel I could hold it until I cleaned the bathroom though I have my toilet cleaned every morning but I just can’t stand the dirt on the walls of the bathroom when I release `metabolic waste'. So
The maidens of the castle walked cautiously when Alex, their king and alpha, looked troubled or angry. His moods ruled the atmosphere, and when they swung dark the air grew thick with tension. When Alex was in a glare, his eyes glowed dangerously and his jaw was set in a hard line. The strength and power that emanated from him was almost palpable, sending shivers down even the bravest maiden's spine. They hurried to stay out of his path, heads bowed submissively. But when his gaze softened and his countenance lightened, the maidens rejoiced. Alex was an alpha through and through; tall and broad-shouldered with a proud jawline and strong features that commanded respect. When he smiled, dimples appeared that belied his ferocity, captivating all who saw. On the rare occasion Alex laughed, truly laughed, it was like the sun breaking through clouds. His smiles and laughs were treasures to be guarded, spreading warmth and joy to even the lowliest servant. The maidens' hearts
Lisa’s POV:The afternoon sun shone brightly through the transparent glass doors of the balcony. I was lounging on the sofa, enjoying the warmth of the sun on my face. My mind drifted to thoughts of my half-sister, Rose. I thought I would have seen her during the full moon gathering last night. Probably not, since she never liked attending such events and no it wasn’t her place to be at. I let out a small chuckle, thinking about how Rose always thought it were all about appearances and bravado. “Hey! Rose again, are you just thinking ill of her?” Hailey’s voice startled me from behind. I stumbled over my words, caught off guard by her sudden appearance. “Gosh Hailey, the egg didn’t take any longer,” I said, trying to cover up my surprise. Hailey walked over with a plate of fried eggs in her hands. “I just don’t know what Rose did to you people—mum and you!” she said in an exasperated tone. I could sense Hailey’s anger simmering beneath the surface. Her breakup with Alvin was still
As the clock struck 12 o’clock, the atmosphere around Alpha King Alex was charged with energy and purpose. The air was thick with anticipation, as he prepared to embark on a journey to Deep Water Pack to meet with Alpha Aquinas.The level of security around him was high, with seven personal turned Lycan guards and seven beta werewolves accompanying him on his journey. Their presence was reassuring, providing a sense of safety and protection to the Alpha King as he traveled through unknown territory.The guards were alert and focused, scanning the surrounding area for any potential threats. Their eyes were sharp, and their movements were precise, as they moved with a sense of purpose and determination.Despite the seriousness of the situation, there was also a sense of camaraderie and brotherhood among the group. They were united in their mission to protect the Alpha King, and they worked together seamlessly to ensure his safety.As they made their way to Deep Water Pack, the tension i
George had always been curious about the Alpha king's personal life. He had heard rumors about the Alpha's mate, Rose, and her past, but he never believed them. He never thought he would get the chance to see the Alpha and his mate up close and personal, let alone in such a private moment. But as he crouched behind the pond, hidden in the shadows, he couldn't believe his eyes.The full moon lit up the clearing, casting an eerie glow across the landscape. It was then that George saw them. Alpha King Alex and Rose. Together. In the open. He gasped, unable to control the shock coursing through his body.He had always known that the Alpha was a powerful leader, feared and respected by all. But seeing him like this, vulnerable and human, was something else entirely. And Rose, the woman he had only heard whispers of, was standing right beside him. They were so close that he could feel the heat emanating from their bodies, their breaths mingling in the cool night air.George couldn't believe
Serena’s POV:Josiah King, a strong alpha werewolf and " the first and oldest werewolf descendant in Atlantic” yet not the leader, loves me dearly. He has asked for my hand in marriage and desires to spend forever with me. And yet, I hesitate. My entire youthful life I have been used, neglected, and overlooked due to being an omega. My kind has always been at the bottom of the werewolf hierarchy. Though I cherish Josiah deeply, I long for more. I want our union to catapult me into power. I want us to rule the entire Atlantic kingdom together, with me by his side as his equal. An omega queen to match his alpha king. Fair to say the moon goddess has blessed me, sending Josiah my way. I never thought an alpha like him, with his history of taking omegas for granted, would love me so completely. His love feels sincere, and yet I wonder if he truly understands what I desire. Power. Leadership. Respect. Things I have been denied my entire life. Josiah has the opportunity to elevate me
Serena’s POV: For years, Alex had disappeared, and during that time, Josiah and his brother Japheth had been doing all the work in Atlantic Kingdom. They were highly regarded by all the werewolves and shewolves for their bravery and hard work, and they had been praised for their efforts in making the kingdom a peaceful place as well.Japheth was the son who always seemed to have it all - the perfect life, calm, wise, and married. I couldn't help but envy him in a way. He seemed to have a bit of everything that I wanted, and I couldn't help but feel a little jealous of his seemingly perfect life.But it was Josiah who had captured my heart. He was my love, and I knew all along that he had his eyes on the throne- the largest portion of his heart desires it. He wanted to be the alpha, to lead all the werewolves and Atlantic Kingdom. And when we fell in love, he promised to give me the world.I had always known that Josiah was ambitious, but I didn't mind. I loved him for who he was, and

Rose’s POV:Five years have passed. I watch my son Jeremy play in the sand, giggling as Glenda and Daphne act as his aunties and George as one of his uncles. I sit on the porch remembering Alex, Jeremy's father and Charles, his kind uncle. I don't know what the future holds but I chose peace. "When you choose peace, be ready to say a lot of goodbyes," I often think.Jeremy looks at me, smiling. Then his eyes turn from blue to bright green. I gasp in shock. "Come here, Jeremy," I call to my little son. "You're safe under my love," I whisper. Alex is a lycan and I am half werewolf, half witch. The prophecy has long passed, yet here sits a child of two worlds. Jeremy cuddles close. I stroke his hair, thinking of the journey that brought us here. I thought I was fleeing my past, but it followed me in this precious child. Glenda comes to the porch. "All okay, Rose?" she asks, looking from me to Jeremy. I smile. "More than okay. This is where I'm meant to be."She hugs us both. "Family
George POV:I had made camp for the night and was sitting by the fire when I heard a sound in the bushes. I saw a frazzled young woman had collapsed unconscious. As I reached her, a lunar birthmark shone luminously on her back - this must be the girl I've sought for so long, the prophecy told of! I turned her over and gasped. "Isn't this Alpha King Alex's mate?" I hesitated, unsure what to do. But as I tried to leave, she grabbed my hand weakly and pleaded, "Please help me." I could not leave her so I took her in, building up the fire. When she awoke, I gave her food and water. The next day we set off towards Hazelwood together. As we walked, I felt honored to be helping fulfill the prophecy at last. Soon we came to a junction where my friends Glenda and Daphne greeted us. "George, still don't know the safest route to Hazelwood I see!" Glenda joked. "Very funny," I replied. "This is Rose. Rose, these witches will help guide us home." Daphne smiled warmly at Rose. "You're safe w
"Rose?" Charles whispered, stepping out of the shadows.I breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank God you're here," I whispered back. "I was starting to worry that you wouldn't make it.""Calm down, Rose," Charles said in a comforting voice. "We must leave quickly now." Charles led me to the mysterious hidden door and handed me a book he wrote about our family. "I will make sure to tell my unborn child about you,his Uncle," I vowed through tears. "Will you return?" Charles asked, his voice filled with emotion. "I'll make sure my unborn child knows his roots and father," I sobbed hard, thanking Charles for his love and care. "You must go now, Alex will be back from hunting soon," Charles said as we said our goodbyes, hoping we would meet again.I followed the secret passageway that Charles showed me, escaping from Alex's castle at last. Every minute I stayed was a minute too long, carrying Alex's cub but treated so cruelly. As I hurried through the passage, I rubbed my still-flat belly
Rose’s POV:"The biggest coward of a man is to awaken the love of a woman without the intention of loving her.”After a week. The cold floor felt harsh against my knees as I scrubbed the chambers floor. My stomach churned again as a wave of nausea hit me. I swallowed hard, resisting the urge to vomit. I had to hide this from Alex, I didn't know how he would react. He had been so distant this past week, barely looking at me let alone touching me. The tender love I thought was blossoming between us seemed to be fading away. Hot tears rolled down my cheeks and I wiped them away angrily. What did I expect? I was just a slave, a plaything for him to use as he pleased. But I had started to hope for more. I thought he cared for me. Now I felt like a fool.My mind was troubled with dark thoughts as I worked. If things continued this way, I would have to find a way to escape. I couldn't bear much more of this. I needed to speak with the old physician, the only friend I had here. We hadn't ta
Alex’s POV:I had to go to my older brother Charles and tell him about Rose. It was difficult to admit, but I had to confess that she was the one. The prophecy was real. I stormed into Charles’s study, fuming with anger. “Why didn’t you tell me about Rose? That she is the one the prophecy foretold? I have fallen for the enemy!” Charles looked up calmly from his book. “I wanted you to find love, brother. Rose is special, she is your soulmate.”“She is meant to destroy me!” I slammed my fist on the table. “This is my life at stake. My kingdom. And you see me as the tyrant Alpha King that needs to be overthrown?”Charles sighed. “The kingdom needs change, Alex. Peace. Someone like Rose could help you become a better leader. A better man.” “I rule Atlantic with force to keep order. There is no room for peace,” I growled. “There has been no peace since you divided the packs. Became king after Josiah's treason. Mother would not have wanted this life for you, Alex."I glared at Charles.
George packed his bag slowly, lost in thought. Three weeks and he would be gone from this place. The events of the Christmas party played over and over in his mind. He had stayed quiet, not wanting to draw attention to himself. But now he knew it was time to leave. He had come back to Atlantic for one reason - to find the lunar girl, the prophecy girl. Yet after all this time, he was no closer to the truth. Meanwhile, those accused of crimes were being punished without mercy. Alex's werewolves terrified him. Part of him still wanted to fulfill the task he had been given. But the risk seemed too great now. Better to return to Hazelwood and the simple life he knew there. His hand touched the old coin in his pocket, the one that was supposedly tied to the lunar girl's destiny. He had held onto it all this time, a symbol of the mission. But now, it felt heavier somehow. A reminder of a duty abandoned. He sighed and zipped his bag shut. Three weeks and he would be gone, returning
Rose’s POV:I left the party and went outside for some space. I sat down with my wine, frustrated. After a few minutes, I noticed a small box carefully placed next to my seat. I picked it up and untied it. Inside was a card that said "Happy Birthday little sis." I was stunned. Could it be from the brother I thought was gone? I looked around to make sure no one was watching and opened the card. "You've grown up to be so pretty, stay happy. I'm watching over you little sis," it said. Tears streamed down my cheeks. When I looked up, I caught a glimpse of a figure in the distance fading into the night - it was the black cloak person who had helped me before. Could it be my brother? I blamed myself for not realizing it sooner. Just the other night, I had stood close to him..."Rose!" Lebotha called harshly, walking over with her daughter Lisa. I quickly wiped my tears and stood up tall. I was not the girl Lebotha used to bully.As things were about to get heated, Alpha King Alex appeare
Rose POV:I took a deep breath and looked around at my surroundings. The castle was truly beautiful, though its beauty could not chase away all my doubts. Alex's words and gifts were kind, but I still wondered if he truly understood the pain he had caused me. As I wandered the hallways, I saw Alex approaching with a smile. "Good morning, Rose. I hope you are settling in well."I replied politely,"Good morning, Alpha. Thank you for your hospitality."He chuckled."Please, call me Alex when we're alone. There is no need for such formality between us." I nodded slowly. Over the next two days, Alex showed me great kindness. We took walks in the castle gardens and he told me stories of his childhood. Alex even arranged for us to ride the royal horses out on the trails surrounding the castle.As we rode side by side, Alex's horse came closer to mine."You look radiant today, Rose. I love seeing you smile." I could feel my face flush, but I tried to remain guarded. "Thank you, but do you trul
