MIQUEL'S POVHuman World: Gilead“I'm not an ordinary human. You will go in my place, but the only thing people will see in you is my reflection, including Tamar. They won't know, but it's on a condition” I need to warn him. He nodded for me to go on. “If you fail to get to the wood before the sixth hour (6am) after the wedding night, I'm afraid you will turn into a peacock. That would be the result of your disobedience” I warned sternly and he gulped nervously. “I will be forever indebted to you for doing this for me” he said gladly, looking so grateful. “Produce an heir to the throne if you want to pay off your debt” Demetrius answered, and he promised us he would try his best. I gave him my headband as Isidora ordered and we departed. “Will he really turn to a peacock for disobedience?” Demetrius asked, a hint of fear in his voice, and I chuckled. “Of Course not,” I replied, and he heaved a sigh of relief. “Carissa,” He called softly, and I hummed. “Didn
Wolfgang Pack MIGUEL'S POV “Your highness, I would like to resign from being Lord Miquel's tutor” Tutor Liam pleaded, and I laughed within me. Father heaved a frustrated sigh. It's just five hours of the first day, and he is tired already? He should have left when I admonished him to. “You may excuse yourself” Father said, and he bowed and exited the throne room. I stared at my father's angry face and looked away. “You! What exactly do you want, my prince?” He said the last sentence in a gentle tone. This is the fifth tutor who gave up on being my tutor despite the massive salary of being a royal tutor. “Father, if I must be sincere with you, I don't need to be tutored to become a great Alpha of this capital. All I need is to be myself and love my people” I said with a bow. “What happened to you? Everything about you changed after your marriage” he asked and I kept mute. “And in conclusion, you will keep on frustrating royal tutors?” He uttered and I nodded
Wolfgang PackMIGUEL'S POV“What do you all think you're doing?” Valeria's mother demanded, staring at every angle at which warriors are set. “I was banned from entering his Pack, so what would he be doing here in our Pack?” The voice I hated to hear the most said coming out from the warriors' midst. I smiled within myself. I'm only concerned about the innocent souls that will lose their lives if I ever get injured. Moon light Pack was once under our sovereignty, but father granted them independence because he made friends with their Alpha. “Marcus, you're making a big mistake. My father banned your sword man forever from the Pack, do you think he will take this lightly with you?” I said, and he laughed hysterically. He laughed so hard, just like a fool. “You're a bigger fool, do you think you will get the chance to leave this Pack alive? I'm aware you sneaked out of the palace, so who would think you could come to our Pack?” He grinned and scoffed. I stared at Luna, and s
Human World: Gilead LADY MIQUEL'S POV “Barnacles! I know who it was” I voiced, covering my mouth, mystified. “Who is it?” Demetrius demanded. “It's Premier Casino, he is a rogue!” I exclaimed. “But how is that possible? Princess Tamar said he is her grandfather” Demetrius said, looking confused. I'm as confused as he is right now. “I'm also confused, Seneca can shed more light on this,” I said, attempting to stand up to call him out, but Demetrius stopped me. “Just rest, I will go fetch him,” He said, and I nodded, smiling. “In cases like this, it means he has the powers to shape-shift into any human form, just keep an eye on him and be careful” Seneca admonished and we nodded. “How were you caught? You surrendered yourself, didn't you?” The master I grew up to know cannot be caught so easily. “Yes, I wanted you to get to a safe place for your shifting, so I distracted them and then surrendered but bow was it by the way?” he mumbled and I sm
Human World: Gilead MIQUEL'S POV“I'm sorry your majesty, I am just nervous” she gasped, cleaning my clothes. “It's alright, leave it,” I said slowly, taking the napkin to clean it myself. I heaved a heavy sigh, trying to sound brave. “Is tonight something you've been waiting long for?” Miquel, what are you saying!? It's not her first night, remember? Isidora screamed at me. “No matter how big a tree is in the palace, people will still try to cut it off if it doesn't yield fruits. They are anticipating like hawks, ready to claim my father's throne if we don't produce an heir. I will admit, my only desire is to produce an heir to the throne and to see Gilead happy as quickly as possible” She exclaimed softly. “That sounded strange, I am aware you accepted this marriage under difficult circumstances but can you fulfil this dream of mine by fulfilling your duty in our three nights together, I promised not to ask for anything else after I produced an heir for Gilead,” she said slowly.
MIGUEL'S POV Wolfgang Pack “Who says I'm Miquel? I am not and can never be!” I voiced, staring back at them. Did I just say, Miquel? Father was too shocked to talk, and he looked for a nearby chair to collapse on. Valeria stared at me with a face mixed with shock and horror feelings. “What are you saying this time around Miquel, you mean you two exchanged your positions one more time? I thought as much. Everything about you changed! How dare you try to fool us once more!” Father raged. “I didn't have another option father, you almost married my mate off to my brother” I mumbled for him to hear. Father left the hall after all. “You knew we were mates before the wedding?” Valeria demanded, facing me, and I nodded. “Then why didn't you speak out? You knew it and still made me suffer!” She said, hitting me angrily. I held her hands. “I doubted if you would believe me, besides…” I trailed off, seeing father. Father did the unexpected. He came back to the hall wi
MIQUEL'S POV Human World: Gilead “Drop your sword if you want her to live” One of them warned me, handling her roughly and I dropped my sword. “I don't know who you're or what you want, but we can talk after you release the princess,” I said, stretching forth my hand to Tamar to hold. They pulled her slowly and stopped her from reaching out her hands to me. “Yahhh!” They screamed, drawing the sword near Tamar, but I was lucky to pull her before the sword got to her. I pulled her behind me as they pulled up their swords, but someone else broke into the room. It was Demetrius. He pulled a sword through one of the assassin's back angrily, and he fell down vomiting blood and died on the spot. Werewolf's sword isn't just an ordinary sword. It works according to the level of your wolf's power. The remaining assassins moved back to position themselves, now that they are aware that we are two. I was quick to pick up my sword and the fight became fierce again. It would have been easier if i
Human World: GileadMIQUEL'S POV“What! Where are they now?” I hastened my steps as he led me to where they are. The king gave me the order to investigate this alone, so why are they poking their nose into a matter that doesn't concern them? “Arrghh!” I could hear the screaming of the criminal from afar. He was being tortured. “What's the reason for your attempted murder of the Crown princess and her husband?” The royal prosecutor asked, and the soldiers removed the hot stainless steel from his legs for a while. He breathed heavily for a few seconds. “Please spare my life. I was only doing what I was told!” He cried in agony. I wish I could use my super speed, but that would only bring suspicions. His hair was in disarray, his prison cloth was soaked in blood, and he looked rough, “Whose order were you following?” The royal prosecutor demanded, and he looked up abruptly. I stayed at a distance, staring at him. He slowly narrowed his gaze to minister Icarus. The latter
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
