MIQUEL'S POV
“How is this possible?” I stared at the floor sadly and confused. I faced Minister Theon bravely.
“Do you want to know how funny this is? Alright, Theon, permit me to show you.”
“Jason once said your birth brought nothing but chaos. Do you think Premier Casino will spare you for humiliating him like that?” He scoffed. I'm so pained right now, and my next action will not be that of a king, but of a young girl who was separated from her parents because of dumbasses like Theon.
I smiled at him icily and faced the crowd.
“Gather round, everyone, especially the women!” They moved closer, the women in front and the men at their back.
“Our investigations confirmed that Casino turned out to be a colossal wolf and shape
MIQUEL'S POV “I am here to disclose all my wrongdoings.” Oscar, Demetrius' father, muttered with a bow. I stared at him slowly and sipped my tea. “Are you seeking forgiveness? I have no intention of forgiving you. You killed many innocents and even killed your best friend, my guru. He tried his best to restore you but got killed instead. You couldn't even give him a proper burial. His body was stolen by Jason. That is why…' I paused. "Even execution by hanging is not enough to pardon your crimes.” He nodded slowly. “I am aware of that.” I looked away. “Since my great-grandfather eloped, I'm certain, he is still within the capital. I am sending you to capture him. Being a wolf will make things easier, and besides, no one knows the capital more than you do. Once you complete this task, I will decide on your punishment.” “Yes your majesty,” he bowed and exited my throne room and I sighed. *** What exactly is Casino planning currently? I'm worried he might atta
MIQUEL'S POV My eyes had been darkened by fear, I kept muttering behind words, which I was not sure of. There was a mixture of fear and doubt in it. My legs staggered as I walked where he laid. “Donovan?” My legs suddenly became heavy as I walked to the place he was laid. “I'm sorry… Your Majesty, they mistook him for prince Emmett.” Timon muttered weakly, losing more blood the more he spoke. I knelt beside Donovan. “How…how could this… Donovan, please wake up. Wake up now. You cannot leave like this! This is my fault, I should have taken you along with prince Emmett!” I sobbed loudly, carrying him. “Please open your eyes.” Demetrius pats my shoulder softly. “Can you do anything?” He collected the baby tenderly and checked his pulse. “He has been dead for a while now, not even your blood can save him.” A royal physician hurried in and started their treatment with Timon. I got a little dizzy and almost fell, but Demetrius held me. “Your majesty!” They
MIQUEL'S POV“I will give up the throne.”“That's a wise decision to make because you must,” he chuckled softly.“I will do as you wish, so let there be no more sacrifices.” I stared at his warriors and I could perceive fellow wolves among them. They are rogues.“How about brewed tea?” He suggested. I knew he would, and I was prepared for the tea.We both sat down in the throne room, staring at everywhere but each other.“For hiding the fact that I am a woman and deceiving the royal family, I will accept any punishment.”“To be precise, it's not entirely your fault that you became the king. I committed the first mistake of causing the war and the second mistake was caused by your father who thought he married you to Tamar, but the third mistake was caused by you.” I stared at him slowly.“In a way, you're a victim of everything that happened to you. Your fate was decided by everyone who surrounded you regardless of your desires, but once you've realized what had happened, you should h
AUTHORESS' POV Demetrius walked sluggishly towards Tamar's chamber and saw a feminine figure hanging a rope to the roof of the prince's library. He was too weak to work or peep at what was going on but, nevertheless, he found his legs walking their way towards the library. He was trying his best to believe Carissa will be fine with Premier Casino. She is strong and will always have solutions to everything, right? He consoled himself. He entered the library and rubbed his face the upteempth time at the sight he was seeing. Has the war and tears he shed made his sight to see things? He nudged himself to confirm his thought and hurried to the scene. Crispina had put the rope on her neck, about to hang herself. “What in the world are you trying to do? Have you lost your mind?” His voice was stern. The thought of losing someone close to his loved ones made him angrier. “Leave me, I just want to die!” She wept loudly. To Demetrius, she was speaking gibberish. He pulled her dow
AUTHORESS' POV Demetrius took Miquel's hands and wiped them tenderly with cotton. He dipped the cotton into the clean water and wiped her face. “It's been ninety days Carissa, when will you come back to me?” The war ended immediately, Casino was pronounced dead. Gilead is now in the right shape, but Demetrius' joy wasn't complete. The love of his life is still in a coma, and he has no idea when she will wake up. He had a lot to say to her, he badly wanted to scold her about how foolish her decisions were, but how could he when she was still in this state? He shifted the bowl of water after he was done wiping her and dozed off, his hands holding Carissa's and his head on the bed. “Please don't leave me,” he heard a tiny voice mumble. He raised his head slowly, and Miquel was sweating profusely and crying. He squeezed her hands softly and for the first time in three months, he saw those long naturally combed lashes fluttered open slowly. “You're finally awake,” Demetrius
AUTHORESS'POV As Demetrius' mother, Miquel, and Demetrius made their way through the throng of well-wishers, they were stopped by a group of children from Demetrius' school. They had all drawn pictures and written letters expressing their thanks to Miquel and Demetrius. “Thank you for everything you've done for us,” said a woman, her face lit up with gratitude. Miquel smiled and accepted the gift, a small pouch of herbs and spices. “It was the least we could do,” she replied. “We are happy to have been of service,” added Demetrius. “Thank you for teaching us, Lady Miquel,” said a little boy, holding out a drawing of a wolf. “I will always remember what you taught me about the spirits of the forest.” Those memories made Miquel laugh. She didn't spend many days in the school, but she was happy they were able to hold on to something. Miquel took the drawing and hugged the boy, feeling a lump form in her throat. “Thank you,” she whispered. As they were about to
AUTHORESS' POV Two Days Later “I'm really proud of you, Miquel,” Alpha Sebastian muttered proudly. “You've been saying that all day, father,” if he said it a million times, it would be worth it. Alpha Sebastian smiled at his niece. He felt good she hadn't changed to calling him uncle. To him, Carissa would always remain the daughter he never had. “I noticed numerous refinements while on my way here. It's so hard to believe it's been over a year since I stepped foot in the Pack.” Many changes have come to the Wolfgang Pack. As big as the pack is, the territory was fenced all around to avoid intruders. “We still have a lot to talk about, Carissa.” Luna Persis said and she nodded smiling. The parents excused them. Carissa carried Shaquan, Valeria's handsome son, delicately, and they started discussing. “I know you were surprised about the fence, people started dying when you left and, at that time, we found another prophecy of…” Carissa cut Miguel off. “A war?
AUTHORESS' POV “We don't have much time. We can start now,” Valeria said urgently. “But…” All eyes turned to Carissa and Demetrius. “We want to get married first,” Carissa pouted. Most of the group members rolled their eyes. They looked at Demetrius, who smiled and nodded, indicating that he was ready to get married as well. “I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling about this. No offence, Rissa,” Valeria said, concerned. “Then let's get married tomorrow, just the Pack members alone,” Demetrius suggested. “What?” Everyone exclaimed, except for the couple. “That's a great idea. Carry on with the meeting. We'll go and seek the consent of my parents,” Carissa said, standing up and pulling Demetrius along with her. “Father, we would like to hold our wedding tomorrow,” Carissa announced. Demetrius looked down at the ground, not daring to meet the Luna and Alpha's shocked expressions. They tried everything to make the couple change their minds, but Carissa
Author's point of viewThe silent hall was steeped in darkness, with the only light coming from a single spotlight that shone down upon a young woman standing in the center of the room. The walls were draped in deep shades of purple and pink, with delicate twinkle lights twinkling softly in the background. The air was heavy with the scent of roses and other sweet flowers, their fragrance wafting through the air. She was dressed in an exquisite short skirt of pink silk and a silver blouse of lace, with delicate sparkles glinting in the light. Her hair was a cascade of gentle waves, with a few strands framing her face in an alluring, enticing manner. She was popularly known as Kristen Kim, the second-trending female celebrity in Canada. She had planned to give Alexander, her fiancé, a surprise proposal, and he lured to the hall through wrong information. She danced to the rhythm of the slow romantic music with a smile on her face. Detective Alexander walked in stealthily with
AUTHOR'S POV Valeria carried Shaquan delicately in her hands, but she noticed something was wrong. He was crying. She smiled at him sadly and caressed his head. He became cold suddenly. He stopped breathing. “No, Shaquan, you can't do this. No!” she wailed, pulling him tightly onto her. Valeria's tears soaked through Shaquan's furs as she held onto him tightly, unable to believe that her intelligent, vibrant son was gone. Her heart felt like it had shattered into a million pieces, and a wail of grief escaped her lips as she rocked back and forth on the floor with her beloved child cradled in her arms. Memories of his childhood flooded her mind, each one a fresh stab of pain that threatened to overwhelm her. She felt like a part of her had died alongside him, and the thought of never being able to hug him or hear his voice again was too much to bear. As the hours wore on, her sobs grew quieter but no less intense, and the other women could only offer silent support as t
AUTHOR'S POV A MONTH LATER “You mean all the officials in our Pack refused to attend Miguel's burial?” Valeria demanded angrily, and Ceasor nodded sadly. Miguel had requested that his body shouldn't be buried. His funeral was done just like the time of ancient werewolves. Their body was put in a coffin and sent through an ocean no one knew the end of. The women and children were present, except for the officials. Valeria knew their minds already. They wanted her to step down and crown another Alpha or crown Prince Shaquan. She knew the burden would be too much for Shaquan and didn't care what they thought, but she wasn't going to crown a six-year-old child as the Alpha. They turned to leave but heard a battalion shouts. They were on their way to the palace. Valeria frowned since she wasn't notified before the Pack's gate was opened to some strangers. She sat down, ready for anything they were ready to say, and was a little surprised when she saw all the officials moving wi
AUTHOR'S POV “I will be going somewhere that will take a while to return. Can you please take care of my Luna for me?” Shaquan stared innocently at Valeria, who couldn't meet his gaze. “Father, why don't we go together? That's what a family does, isn't it?” He demanded innocently with teary eyes. Valeria stood up and faced the wall, sobbing quietly. Miguel smiled and caressed Shaquan's face. “If we go together, then who will look after the pack? You're the future Alpha of this pack, and you will also be overseeing eighty neighbouring packs. So, my son, you have a lot of work to do.” Shaquan stared at his fingers. “So, do you promise to take care of my mate, yourself and the pack on my behalf?” He stared at the sad smile his father had on and nodded. Valeria moved closer to him and the family embraced each other, with Valeria in tears. The day in Wolfgang's pack was quiet. Carissa and Demetrius were missing, and the Alpha and Beta are ill. No one was smiling.
AUTHORESS' POV “You mean Demetrius was acting weird after he came back from the autopsy office?” Alpha Miguel demanded again, and Craspina nodded. Valeria paced back and forth with worry. “Can you do anything, like try to find out where he is right now?” They had been trying to mind-link Demetrius, but none were able to. Valeria shook her head negatively at her mate's request. “My mind is filled with worry at the moment. To communicate with my powers now will be exhausting,” Miguel nodded in understanding. He stood up from his throne seat and almost fell down as he felt a sharp pain in his heart. “She is in trouble. Her heartbeat is really faint!” Valeria held him as he managed to pull himself together. “I'm just going to attempt to get their location this once.” Caesar stayed behind Miguel while they all hoped Valeria would succeed. They knew it was likely that Demetrius and Carissa were with each other. Valeria was trying her best to concentrate, but she
Author's POV Carissa wiped her tears as she urged the horse to race faster. She could feel it; Demetrius was getting really hurt. She could feel how much he was trying his best to overcome the troops of Xerxes. She knew her troops would be trying their best as well. Memories of her last meeting with Demetrius came back to her where she had told him she didn't regret all of her actions. She knew she was lying to herself. She regretted every horrible thing she had done to him. Her fate was being repeated. She had never trusted her mate in her past lives, which led to her downfall, but she was ready to make a change in this life. She was ready to give up her life for his sake. Jason must have informed Xerxes that the weak point of werewolves was a frozen place. That must have been the reason he lured her mate to the ice lake. She climbed down from the horse and closed her eyes, saying some few prayers. She got to the lake and many lives were lost. Some of her troops are d
AUTHOR'S POV Demetrius knew that Carrisa's stay in the Crescent Pack would be dangerous now that he knew Xerxes was the murderer of those ten messengers. He was surprised by how hypocritical Xerxes could be and how perfectly he had cleared everything without leaving a specific trace. He left for the palace and dropped all the equipment he had used. He picked up his wolf sword and took a horse. The guards at the gate were reluctant, but seeing the permission Alpha Miguel had given him, they allowed him to leave. Demetrius raced outside Wolfgang Pack but felt someone was within the greenwood. He stopped the horse and studied his environment. Suddenly, he took off from the horse, using his superspeed, and pointed his sword at the intruder. “I'm not trying to harm you, my Lord. I've been trying to get into the Pack, but they wouldn't even open up. Lady Carrisa wants to meet you at the place she met you the last time. Please don't let go of her this time around. Else, the A
AUTHORESS' POV Rissa raced back to the palace. She didn't mind the stares people were giving her. She kept running until her legs started to react. She managed to enter the huge garden Demetrius had beaten Xerxes up a year ago. “I need to be left alone!” She ordered the guards and they left immediately. “In the end, I can't blame you Metrius so it is just best I stop making things hard for you. I will help you and end things.” Her mind flashed back to her first meeting with Demetrius. She had thought he was a pervert since he was staring at a half dressed lady intently back in the Gammas' forest during the royal hunting festival. She smiles as she remembers how they faked hating each other at first in Gilead. The hell he showed her while she was a crown prince. The first person who would fail her while being tutored. His lips on hers, all those memories can keep her happy forever. She wiped away her tears, inhaled and exhaled. “I, Carissa Quintus, re…” She tried to
AUTHORESS' POV “So, did you find anything?” they demanded as Rissa and Albert entered. Rissa fell weakly to the ground, and they stared at her with concern. “Everything Demetrius said was right. He was right from the very beginning. I was such a terrible mate that I believed Xerxes over my mate,” she cried inwardly. “What's this? This should be in Wolfgang's Pack, so why is it in the Crescent Pack?” one of them said aloud. “Xerxes must have stolen it six years ago. That was why he tried everything to get close to me. That son of a bingo knew my weak points all along.” Rissa uttered with pain in her voice. The book they were looking at was the “Biography Of Legends,” which contains the weakness of the Seer Wolf, that was Isidora in her previous life. Xerxes must have read it, and everything he did was just to weaken the Seer Wolf in her. “That means Alpha Xerxes is the reason you lost your powers. How preposterous!” Albert exclaimed. Rissa kept silent and starte
