MIGUEL'S POV “Behead him as a criminal” father ordered, and the guards dragged me away while I struggled with them. “Miquel, are you alright” I heard the worried feminine voice, but I didn't know where the voice was coming from. “Wake up, your highness” she shook me so hard this time around. I woke up sweating heavily. It was a dream. Everything felt so real. “What's this nightmare that upsets you so much and hunts you even in your dreams?” Valeria demanded with so much concern. I inhaled and exhaled deeply. “I guess I'm destined to always have a scary nightmare” I grumbled, going back to sleep. Valeria stared at me unbelievably. I had woken her up, and now I'm sleeping without her? I read her mind. “I'm sorry to have woken you up, my queen, can you drift back to sleep now?” I said, and she nodded slowly, laying down. I couldn't sleep again. I'm a gifted dreamer and my dreams always come to pass. Does that mean I will one day be beheaded? I thought. “It's better to die than do
MIGUEL'S POVWolfgang Pack “End your powers and make us visible. Your father has lost his cool” I wanted to say your mad father but kept my cool. She sighed and removed her hands from mine. “What do you think you're doing? In case you need me to refresh your brains, you're still in Wolf gang Pack” I said, and the warriors stopped their attempt. “Great one my dear daughter, your mate is really protective” he smirked and I bowed a little. He suddenly switched to the calm father I met during our wedding. “Is this also your handwork?” He pointed to Marcus. I thought for a while. “Oh, yes. He wasn't handling my mate, your daughter with care, so I decided to touch him up a little” I stared at him and gave a fake gasp. “Oh my! Was this also my handwork? I never knew the wound was this deep!” I exclaimed, staring at him with fake care. He scoffed. “I brought my cup bearer here and this is how you treated him!?” He raged. “My wolf reacted not me” I chipped in, smiling. *** “I told yo
Human World: Gilead MIQUEL'S POV “Can you at least explain to me what's going on?” I said, breathing heavily as we moved deep into the greenwood. “I think we should go back to the Pack. Your life is in danger as we speak, the King's guards are looking for you” he explained. “What for?” I demanded, catching my breath. “You turned down his only daughter's proposal yesterday, and the father found out you were the reason his precious daughter is upset. He concluded you cornered her and now want to reject her. He sent guards in search of you, either you marry her or you die for such a great act of disrespect” he replied. If I refuse, Seneca and people close to me will be in danger. If I don't, my secret will be licked out. I stared at Seneca, contemplating whether to tell him about my true gender or not. He has been like a real father to me. “Master…” I trailed off and he stared at me attentively. He knows the matter must be serious for me to call him master. “It wasn't my wish to ke
MIQUEL'S POVHuman World: Gilead“I can smell the guards are in the woods, I need to get you to safety first” he rushed his words. I was lost staring at my mate. It was a special gaze. He sighed and carried me in his arms, not minding if I was a male. He shifted and raced far into the woods. It wasn't long before the moon started coming out. “I'm sorry, but I have to leave now. You have to be strong because first shifting isn't easy. Staying with you will only cause chaos for me because you might hurt me in the process of shifting” he kissed my forehead quickly and hurried away from the wood. I touched my forehead with a smile, and my cheeks reddened. The full moon shone so brightly, and I heaved a breath nervously. Although I was excited to shift to my wolf, I couldn’t help but be nervous since this was my first time. My bone started cracking, and I tried to endure it, but a scream left my lips. My head rolled backwards, my nose turned to a snort and my ears grew out. I kept screa
Wolfgang Pack MIGUEL'S POV “How do we get it out?” Jason is indeed evil. He knew the table might turn up against him and cast a spell or whatever on his son. “I don't know, just look for a way to stop the bleeding first” he replied in a soft painful moan. The more he talked, the more blood he lost. “You shouldn't have taken the attack for me then. I would have healed by now” I lamented. “Healed up? When you haven't even shifted?” Oh, I forgot completely, I'm not Miquel. “Stop talking okay, I will look for a way to stop the bleeding” I grimaced and left. “I could find what spell Jason cast on his son, but we have no time to waste” Valeria panicked after which I explained the situation at hand. “Oh, there is still another way,” she said. Sporadically, I wondered how many superpowers she's got. “We can transfer our blood into something. The mixture of our blood will help his healing” she suggested. Thinking about it deeply. “I disagree, that's anot
MIGUEL'S POVWolfgang Pack“Your father sent you a letter,” I told her, stretching it to her. She read it and sighed sadly.“Is anything the matter?” I demanded, but she quickly forced a smile, saying she will be fine. “Really? You will be fine. I'm sick and tired of you hiding things from me all the time. I tried to keep the feelings, but it was getting out of hand. You call that man your father, and he didn't care if you were raped, he grasped you with so much hatred, who on earth calls their father my Lord in such a trembling tone the way you did back then? Who!?” I screeched at her, frustrated. She looked scared. She inhaled and exhaled deeply, staring at me with a massive frown on her face. “Right back at you! You have a lot of secrets too, yet you kept mute about them. You get angry at Marcus for disrespecting me, yet you insisted you would wait for your mate! Why raise my hope when you knew you would never love me?” She shouted back at me. “I apologize for caring, but I need
Human World: Gilead MIQUEL'S POV “When are you going to tell our mate you're the alpha's daughter?” Isidora, my wolf, whispered in my head for the hundredth time. “Can I just have peace of mind!?” I spoke out and Demetrius stared at me. “Are you alright?” He demanded as we walked through the thick woods. “Demetrius, I always wondered how it feels to have a wolf, but now I don't think I like the feelings. My wolf is trying to control me” I was frustrated. The fact she tells me everything in riddles, telling me to find answers to them alone upsets me. “I apologize for her behavior, I'm Reace, your wolf” another wolf whispered and I stopped. “Who am I? How can I have two wolves?” I thought to myself, looking puzzled. “You're special. Your second wolf is your real wolf. Isidora only borrowed your body to save the world. She would leave after she's done” Demetrius explained. He added that sometimes when I shape-shift, it will be her, sometimes it will be Reece while
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
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
