MIQUEL'S POV Human World: Gilead “She is finally pregnant,” Tamar said sadly and I sighed. “Shouldn't we congratulate her? It's been a while since you saw her” I told her, the sarcasm in my voice was so evident and she looked confused. “Let's go rub it in her face that the baby is going to be a princess,” I said and she smiled. “I'm good at that,” she laughed, and we dressed up and left for the king's quarters. “Are you here to see the queen?” Premier Casino demanded and we stopped. She had wanted to ignore him before. “Yes, after hearing the news about her pregnancy, I wanted to congratulate her,” she smiled at him sweetly. “I see,” he said. “I should take care of those things now so that I won't suffer the consequences later, we will get going now,” we both bowed to each other and left. “Your majesty, the crown prince and crown princess are here to see you,” a eunuch voiced, opening the door and we entered. We bowed to the king and queen
Human World: GileadMIQUEL'S POV “Miquel?” I called surprised and he smiled. They walked up to us. “It's really you.” I beamed, hugging them all. Miguel stared at the ministers, who looked confused. “My identity is hidden, you all have to bow to them” I mind-linked, and he gaped at them again then bowed. “Ceasor, how have you been? We will excuse ourselves now,” I told the ministers, and we left immediately. We left for the Palace, so I could inform the king and princess Tamar about them. I filled them in on my new development as we moved to the Palace, and we talked about the Pack through mind links. “The queen wishes to have an audience with you my Lord,” a servant said, bowing. I nodded, even though I won't answer her. She doesn't have anything reasonable to say, and I need to spend my precious time with my relatives. We moved to a restaurant in the market. “How did you know we are in Gilead?” I demanded. “I have a mate with numerous incredible gifts
Human World Gilead MIQUEL'S POV “Go to my quarters and inform my guests to come over to the king's quarters,” I said, hurrying to the king's quarter and he bowed. Nevertheless, I still mind-linked Miguel and informed him about the situation. I saw the queen at the entrance and bowed, but she didn't seem to be bothered about what was happening. “Don't you consider this as an unseen misfortune?” She looked and sounded so relaxed, and my instinct had to suspect her. “What do you want to say, Queen Anahita?” I scoffed. “Fear always slips into the weakest places” she smiled, and I stared at her. She is trying to buy more time so the king could die quickly. “You mean I, the regent, brought fear because the king was poisoned?” She nodded smilingly. “I respect your will to bring change, but in reality, you brought nothing but chaos. In difficult times like this, you need a skilled expert subject. Why don't you pretend to give in and take refuge under premier C
Human World Gilead MIQUEL'S POV “I don't know, but you may be related to the king by blood” I processed what she just said and turned to her. “What!” I clamoured. Everything she said sounded so ludicrous. “I know it's ridiculous, but judging by the fact that he became stronger with no repercussions. Your blood is different from Miguel's also” “What's your point in essence? That I'm his biological son?” “You might not be a complete werewolf. Isn't it strange that you didn't shift at the right age, and you had your first shift in the human world without casualties?” She asks. I stared at Ceasor and Miguel. “Pregnancy stage, brother” Miguel mind linked, giving me an apologetic look. “I don't want to think about such a thing. We were born as twins, and we are very indistinguishable, what more could you ask for?” “What happened? You looked awful. Miguel changed the topic. “Yes, I'm sad. My mate rejected me today” I said slowly. They all stared at me.
MIQUEL'S POV “Delicate…flower. You are… You are…” I stared at her. “Your highness, please just kill me!” She blurted, bowing down. “Really? Should I do that?” I scoffed and she thought about it. “Your highness, please spare me!” She trembled fearfully. I bent to her level. “I knew a day like this would come, but I was pleased with our usual relationship, I will spare you if you overlook my position as a prince and treat me like the friend you took me as,” I said softly. “Pardon? Friendship?” She demanded and I nodded. “I will make sure your position is changed. I need a trusted maid to serve the crown princess, look into my eyes” I said softly, pulling her bowed face to stare at mine. “Follow me,” we walked slowly to the princess Quarters. “I want you to be responsible for everything used by the princess. Nothing must go wrong with her”. “Yes… Yes, your Majesty.” She bowed. We met the Queen as we were going and bowed. She smiled malevolently at
MIQUEL'S POV “What transpired between you and the envoy?” I demanded immediately after I got there. EARLIER The envoy watched keenly as the dancers danced to the rhyme of the slow music. Icarus moved closer to him, smiling foolishly. “So is there a girl who has caught your eyes, my Lord? Don't hesitate to tell me whether it's ten girls or a hundred, I will make sure you see tonight” Miguel heard him but restricted himself from using his powers on this son of a bingo. He wondered what they thought of women. Sex slaves? “From what I hear, girls sent as offerings are quite adored, so much so that some even become imperial concubines. The girl to serve you tonight will be a lucky one,” they both laughed together, but Miguel could tell Envoy's laughter wasn't a genuine one. He strongly hopes the envoy will punish him for this. “I see, so I can have my pick of girls?” He demanded with a smirk. “Your request is my command” he laughed with a bow. “From what
MIQUEL'S POV “If I have found Favor in your eyes, stay with us for more time for your injuries to get healed.” The king requested. “Your wish is granted, the maidens can still walk around, for I will be staying until next month.” He boasted, and the king smiled. Tamar pulled me forcefully and ordered her guards to lose the girls. Watching over Tamar would be difficult if Crispina is taken away. I must map out a plan before it's a month. Two weeks later I walked sluggishly to the Princess' Quarters. All our effort for the king to change his mind proved abortive. What a love he has for his country! Letting go of two subjects at the mercy of a ruthless envoy for protecting his people. I will have to get them back in an illegal way, even if it demands I use my superpowers. “I told my father already. If he allows them to be taken away, he will never set his eyes on me again.” Tamar fumed. I understand what she is feeling. The only friends she has made so far are bei
CRISPINA'S POV “Stay strong, your highness,” I thought as I was being taken away. I thought about the love of brotherhood he showered on me for the past few months. Those happy memories will keep me strong in an unknown land. He shouldn't get in more trouble because of me. I groaned softly as I felt another sharp object under my feet. I waited for a little while and tried to remove it, but the envoy's guards pushed me mercilessly, causing me to stumble. If I'm opportune to be reborn again, Gilead would be my last choice because of her selfish king. According to what I heard, the journey to UZ will take fourteen days, and we have to walk on foot. After three hours of walking, the envoy asked everyone to take a rest. Maybe he is not that selfish after all. He came out of his chariot, giving me some creepy looks, and I looked down. “The crown prince seems to be in love with you with his actions. Let me put a stop to that here!” He smiled devilishly. Tulsi gasped, knowing wha
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
