MIQUEL'S POV “This is my judgment.” I muttered slowly. Everywhere was quiet. Casino looked angry and disappointed. “You are guilty of murder and treason. Considering that you're still the wife of the deceased king, I will spare you. You are hereby dethroned and banished from Gilead forever. The Princess and Donovan will be taken care of within the Palace,” I ignored her pleas as she was being taken away. “This should serve as a quick reminder to everyone fond of doing evil. You will eventually be exposed, but I will not be so forgiving as I was to the former Queen.” I smiled at the officials and the meeting came to an end. “That was wonderful.” Casino clapped, moving closer to me. I was the only one left. “Just say whatever you want to say, Casino,” I scoffed. “I knew this would happen. Why did you think I made you king? Because I knew Donovan was a bastard.” He clicked his teeth. “You made me king? You also knew the child was a bastard?” I scoffed.
AUTHORESS' POV Seneca did as he promised Miquel. He traced Oscar and Demetrius was right. They have secret armies located in the woods. Oscar looked back, perceiving a strange presence in the woods, and Seneca quickly hid behind a tree. “It might have been ages, but you think I won't recognize your scent?” He folded his hands, expecting his old friend to show himself. “Do you have a death wish? You came into these woods alone.” Seneca cleared his throat nervously. “What happened to you? What joy do you deprive in working with someone like that old man?” Seneca raised his voice, but Oscar pinned him to a tree, covering his mouth. “He was the only option I had years ago, and my loyalty is pledged to him. The soldiers here are merciless, you had better keep it down.” He scoffed and released him. “I know, they are merciless wolves like Casino. Wolves trained by you.” “I will let you go today as an old friend. I won't be lenient on you if this happens again.
“Icarus?” I was really astonished. He played the game of framing me up. The fight continued fiercely, and he used his sword to loosen up my impractical and inner robe. I tried to maintain my beating heart and mind linked Demetrius. He became distracted in the process and a sword was slashed into his hands. He groaned softly and pulled me slightly avoiding Icarus from seeing my true identity. We stared at the rest of the swordsmen. Icarus screamed to hit us with the sword, but someone came to our rescue. “Your Majesty, are you alright?” It was Oscar, Demetrius' father. “Get his Majesty to a safe place.” “Yes, Father.” Demetrius nodded, but I stopped him. I hid my face in his chest and tied back my robes. Icarus started running away fearfully. “I need to follow him, he is hiding something.” I moved, but Demetrius stopped me. “I will be fine, you can support your father in fighting the remaining accomplice of Icarus.” I patted his back and started running back
MIQUEL'S POV I stared at the men who were willing to fight for their country. I'm really impressed with their responses. They are not afraid of death, but will fight until their last drop of blood. Demetrius insisted that he would teach them archery today, and I just stood there watching every batch's moves. My ears were bleeding already with the compliments the court ladies were giving Demetrius. “He is so hot, just look at his accurate movements,” “His body is so well built and his voice, oh my goodness.”"I should join the afternoon shift from now on." I sighed and pulled an arrow with a bow, directing it to where they were standing. The bowed fearfully. “You all should disperse!” I commanded, and they left hurriedly.. “You do know how to let ladies hearts flutter for you, don't you? They even call you the 'hottie' huh.” He cracked in laughter and I frowned at him. “What? That's not true, Your Majesty.” He cleared his throat. “You just finished w
MIQUEL'S POV “How I wish all this was just a terrible nightmare I could wake up from!” I blew a fuse. How can bad people end up being part of my family? Am I that unfortunate? “Aren't you happy to see your great-grandfather?” Is he pulling my legs right now? I glared daggers at him. “Happy? Today is a deplorable day. You have been such an unfortunate and awful great-grandfather and I loathe you.” I spat out at him, but he didn't seem bothered. “My aim back then was to…” “I would rather not hear whatever your aim is. That doesn't change the fact that my precious grandfather died in the war between humans and wolves. If you hadn't shape-shifted, the war would have been prevented.” he adjusted himself uncomfortably. “Now that you know, you need to follow my orders and don't cross me. You don't want to see my wrath, do you? Just lie low.” he grinned, combing his grey hair. “Escort Premier Casino to his residence right now.” I gritted my teeth at him and the
MIQUEL'S POV“So you indeed sent a poisonous mannequin to kill prince Emmett.” I stared at Minister Theon coldly. He adjusted his uncomfortable self on the floor.“What…your Majesty… I have no idea of…”“What I'm talking about? Do you have a death wish? Oh, you've watched many criminals being tortured in the investigation bureau, you should know how it feels or what's your thought?” I stood up.“No, your Majesty! I have committed a mortal sin. Please have mercy, your Majesty!” He bowed, hitting his head on the floor continuously.“Pardon? You've done so many evil things in this capital. You massacred many innocent souls. You joined hands with Premier Casino to murder the late king, but now you want mercy? Unfortunately, my mood tonight isn't that of mercy, but Justice! Icarus is gone and you are the next. I promised father to get rid of all of you. Lock him up.” I ignored his pleas as royal guards took him away.***“I will be able to sleep peacefully now, your wish will be fully gran
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
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
