Lucinda's POV True to his word, some men I've never seen escorted me out of Aquarius Waters and to say I wasn't happy to leave would be nothing but the truth wrapped in all my sorrow and anger.My heart broke every second I took a step from the pack house, and it was like the further I moved away, the more memories I was letting die out. When I passed Arthur's house, I asked them to stop for a second. In the driveway, I could see the top of his roof, and although I never stopped dreaming that one day I would rightfully be the wife of the man who owned the house, that dream crashed and burned a few hours ago.And I was close, so close, but then Doctor Quinnzel happened. With her ashy platinum hair with loose ends and awful blue eyes, she came in and took everything away from me. My love, my life, my home, everything I've known and grown to fall in love with, and adapted to. Does she know, or have any idea how hard it was to unlearn the way I was living in Windazare and be of the pe
Shadow's POV "Magnum, we going hunting," I inform my Beta, whilst getting ready. It's at noon now, because I preferred running when the sun was starting to go down. After all, the Firedunes pack is closer to the volcanos and in the day it's hotter than an average normal day compared to other packs. "Should I let the others in on it?" he queries."Yes, please," I reply, and then I sense his presence in the room."Sire, may I ask something?" he requests."What is it?" I turn and look at him. "You say that you go hunting every Thursday, but when I remember correctly, this whole idea of you hunting on Thursdays only came up with Queen Mother when she had a dream about you finding your mate only when you hunt that day, but it has been ten years Sire, why haven't you given up?" It is true. One day, Queen Mother came to me with this dream that she saw my mate coming to me, and it would be Thursday and she would be carrying luggage as if she was kicked out of wherever she is going to be c
Quin's POV "Arthur, what is heat?" I think it's high time I spoke about this heat thing. "Why are you asking?" he inquires. "Because everyone I've asked said I should ask you, which I think is kinda annoying if you asked me." I voice out my opinion. If anything, they have been going around this heat thing for way too long and it was starting to get on my nerve. It's not like it's a plague, or is it?"Right. Umm, well, heat is when your body is reacting to certain chemicals that are being released and,-""Arthur, what is heat in simpler English?" I stop him before he goes any further. I know that he is trying to confuse me with chemical things, but I just want a simplified version of it. I don't want the fancy version that will still leave me confused. I am a doctor, yes, but I would rather we draw the line between work and home relations."It's when your wolf wants to bond." He tries again."Like cuddle?" I tilt my head, not getting it."No, like mate in all sense." He clears his
Shadow's POV Turns out, the dragon's heart is underneath its stomach. The whole time we were testing to get its neck, not knowing that's where it was strong. It was after V was almost burnt and but thanks to his good flex, he was able to duck, he saw the viper's purple diamond-shaped heart glowing. I then realized that the whole time, the viper was trying not to show its vulnerability and jump in any way.Once V showed us its heart, I don't know how it sensed that we were not attacking cluelessly, but we now had a point of attack. With that, it just ran off before we could do more damage. "Man, that would have been a good kill." Utters Raider, getting mad."Well, maybe it wasn't our kill after all. " Amarillo adds."Don't try to sound gracious, we were ready to kill it just a few minutes ago," he hits him on the shoulder, and he comes to my side. "It would have been nice to have its heart as a neckpiece," he continues, as he slows down and touches his chest. Vaughan just chuckle
Shadow's POVIt's dark out and my mate has been sleeping for about three hours. After meeting with Magnum, I came back and I have been seating on the couch that is in my bedroom, waiting for her to wake up.30 minutes ago, the kitchen brought in food, and since I don't know what she liked as yet, I asked the kitchen to make a bit of everything. Her plate, therefore has roasted beef, with some mushroom sauce, potato wedges, and some mash, then there is grilled chicken, lamb kebabs, creamy spinach, 3 slices of pizza, and vegetables. The whole time I was seating in the room, I was just admiring her beauty. She has thin eyebrows, tiny freckles near her eyes, and platinum lavender hair that was just on her shoulders. She also had delicate tinted pink lips, and her olive skin was as clear as day. Moon goddess took her time with her, and for the first time, the wait was worth it. In her sleep, she starts flinching, tossing, and turning as if she is having a bad dream. I move from my cha
Lucinda's POVI cried. I cried for Arthur. I cried for a man who didn't care about me, who didn't care that I would still be fine after he had left me. But in the comfort of it all, Shadow was there, my very own Alpha mate.When I cried he held me close. For the first time, I felt important. For the first time, I was important. I wasn't the second choice, nor was I the substitute option. I was the only true option."I am gonna kill him," Shadow growls, as he tries to stand up."Please don't go," I stop him."He hurt you, he humiliated you, he threw you out of Aquarius Waters, doesn't that deem him to be my enemy?" he inquires of."It does," I nod."Then it's final. We attack tonight," he states."You are gonna start a war Shadow." I try to reason with him. I am hurt, that much I can say, but should we hurt so many people because of Arthur?"A war that is worthy of its cause. Alpha Arthur disrespected the Luna of Firedunes Pitt, do you know that is a crime punishable by death?" I coul
Arthur's POV "I mean, it's not really a bad idea," I utter. "What?" I could hear the disarray in her voice. A part of me wanted to be angry at her for bringing this whole thing up, but Ares reminded me that she is trying. She has been trying. To know the pack, to learn things about the pack, and ultimately, to protect the pack. I am certain that this woman pressed at all ends, would die for her people. And although I am still conflicted about what's going on with her wolf, this also deserves someone who is trying to put in the effort and the least I could do was to meet her halfway. "I mean, he does have greater strength than other wolves his age, he needs to be monitored, and the person who knows this more than anyone is me, and I can then monitor him," she adds, and I nod my head. "This could work, this is promising." I try convincing myself."Really?" she went from, skeptical to excited that this plan might work."Yeah. I will tell the counsel this tomorrow and we will take it
Shadow's POvArthur's kid is sick? Well, isn't this great? Maybe I will get the honor of killing him too. I know I will be satisfied with that part. Even better, if Arthur were to be executed. "Next," they call out, and I stand up straight, ready to greet the counsel.When I get there though, it's a full house instead.Well, isn't this fun?"Alpha Shadow, how may we be of your assistance today?" one of the helpers ask. I think his name is Isaac."Good morning counsel, I would like approval to have a duel with Alpha Arthur," I utter."Why?" Lord Phoenix."He humiliated my mate, and treated her like waste, and like a real man, I would like to sort this out as real men would," I clarify.Although I had plans of ambushing Aquarius Waters and killing as many people as I could, with Arthur and Quinnzel on that list too, when I woke up and saw my mate with bags under her eyes, I realized as much I was angry, this fight was hers to win. This revenge was hers to smile over and I couldn't tak
