“I was disappointed to see you flirt so shamelessly with my mate,” I said to her but more so I was disappointed in Cyrus for giving into such a flimsy temptation. If he had called her bluff she would not have had the guts to seduce him. “I have nothing to say to that. You were dead and I did not think you would ever be reincarnated. Reincarnation has only happened once and that was many years back,” came her response. “Perhaps you are right but I find that I cannot put it behind me,” I said. “You can do as you wish,” she said. “And there is your…” “Why exactly did you call me here? Give me ten reasons you hate me now?” she retorted. I did not remark on her rudeness. It could be that she still viewed me as a slave. “Given your situation, I want to extend an olive branch to you,” I said. I had no intention of continuing our friendship this time but I still cared about her. I could also imagine that given her sister's betrayal, she must be going through a lot. “I do not need yo
Altid's POV “Your Majesty, to answer your question. I believe the two are not connected. The fact that it happened on the same night does not mean the both are related cases,” I said. As I had arrived at the council with Lord Robert's body, I had been informed that Lord Harold's home had been robbed and the man and his wife had been severely injured. “If the cases are not interrelated, then you believe this is a coincidence?” asked Cyrus. He looked convinced that the two cases were linked but I did not believe that was the case. “Lord Robert was murdered in his home as a result of the audit; I want to assume that is the case. Someone did not want him talking and so he was killed but Lord Harold was robbed and injured. There were valuables in Lord Robert's home but nothing is missing except his life. Whereas, Lord Harold's life was spared but he was stolen from. There are different motives to both crimes.” “And one person cannot have both motives?” “The timing will be inconvenie
Altid's POVThe case was baffling indeed. Except for the discrepancies in the testimonies of the suspects and the fact that beyond doubt Lord Robert had been murdered and his death staged as a suicide, there was no concrete evidence to nail any suspect. “I have released them, your Majesty but they are not to leave the capital until the murder case has been resolved,” I said to the Alpha. “You need more time to investigate?” he quipped. “Yes, your Majesty. I believe I shall find out more in due time but I want to request that you grant me permission to keep Lord Robert's estate under lock until the investigations are complete,” I told him. “You have my permission. As a matter of fact, the title and estate has not been given to Jonathan; I believe he will be here soon to… speak of the devil,” the Alpha said and true enough Lord Robert's son walked in, his face purple with anger. “Your Majesty,” he bowed to the Alpha. “Jonathan, you have my condolences,” said the Alpha although the
Agnes’s POVAnother full moon festival had come around. It was not the first since I had come to Ghysem but it was the first since I had recovered my memories. During the last full moon, I had transformed into a wolf but I had no idea then what was going on. Today was different.At the peak of the full moon, my wolf came out and joined the many others to howl a beautiful tone in the dewy night. Achilia’s POVI could hear the howls of envy at my emergence. The vast majority of the wolves in Ghysem had always envied me. I stood proud and taller than most of them. My fur was a deep shining brown with flecks of royal purple. I have been told many times that I had the most graceful form. But I was seething in anger as I stared at the multitude of werewolves that had doubted my existence. I disagreed with Agnes, I had nothing to prove. If they were werewolves indeed should they not have sensed my wolf? Adrianna’s POVI had spent the full moon festival with my parents. Partly because I
Jonathan was really getting on my nerves. He had refused to answer my question even though I had asked him several times now. Instead of responding to me, he itched his hair vigorously. “Your silence will be taken as an admission of guilt,” I told him but he remained quiet still.“Very well then,” I said and made to stand up to leave. But just as I stood up, he grabbed the edge of my clothes.“You must listen to me, the black veil is coming to get me too,” he cried out. If he was acting then he was really good at it, if not his terror looked real. I shook his hands off my clothes and walked out.I was not certain if I could trust his words but if something did happen to him while in my custody, I would not be able to live with myself. So I told Timothy to double the security around his cell. I reviewed the evidence that had been gathered so far and there was nothing about a black veil. What the hell was he talking about? I sat still in my office and allowed my mind to visualize
I agreed with Lord Drusus. Since the days of my father, the South pack had been a nuisance. It was something we had tolerated for years but I now had no wish to continue doing so. “We have no measures to protect ourselves as of now,” cried one of the Lords. “You insult the Alpha then and the military force behind him,” came Lord Drusus’ angered response.“I am surprised at the discussion we are having. I had not thought that we had any option besides going to war. We were stolen from and we are going out to plunder.”Audrey’s POV“It is quite remarkable that you thought to do that,” cried Larog with a wide smile as he eyed our new stolen treasure. “Not so remarkable really, It only makes sense that we divert Cyrus’ attention to King Ares. After all, the plan was to use the South pack to acquire Ghysem but I know Ares well, he is a coward who is scared of a confrontation with Cyrus,” I said before sipping my wine. “You are right of course. With Ares fighting Cyrus and the ministers
Adrianna's POV I was yet to decide if I liked Moana or not. She seemed pleasant but I knew there was something more to her calm exterior. Sure enough, she was head over heels for her husband even though she tried not to show it and I could tell that she was insecure in some way about me. Unfortunately, I had no intention of putting her out of her fears. I was loyal to my king but that said nothing about my morals. If I had my way with Theophilus, I would take it. It was no fault of mine really but some people were too handsome to be owned forever by one person; it was simply not fair. We had been in the mainland for about a week now and I had worked closely with Theophilus all this time. I had not made any effort to seduce Theophilus but whenever Moana was present with us I did not fail to see her watching me rather too closely. She could watch me all she wanted but when I was ready to have Theophilus, I would make him beg for me. At the moment I was taking my work here rather
Moana's POV I did not like Adrianna. I had never liked her. I had always thought she was a snob and I was right. However she was more than that; she wanted Theophilus, and she had made that very clear to me earlier. “You are more beautiful than the moon, do you know?” Theophilus said as he swooped down to kiss him but I turned my face away and he did not hide that I had hurt his feelings. “What is the matter?” he asked, perplexed. “You do not know? Or do you pretend not to know?” I asked, my voice betraying that I was angry at him. “My love if you do not tell me how shall I know? I can do many things but I cannot read minds,” he said to me. “You think I am stupid,” I accused him. I had not missed the look the two had exchanged earlier when I suggested that I should have the local women around for tea. “That is nonsense. I do not think you are stupid,” he said. “What did you mean then by, _Love, the local women have to take care of their family all day. They do not have time
