Chapter forty-seven THOMAS POV'S I walked into Brenda's room as she sat on her bed, "So what is your decision, Prince Lycan?" She said looking me straight in the eyes and I sighed. "You may stay on the battlefield...."She was about to jump up from the bed but I quickly added. "But you will stay with the planner wolves," She looked at me like I had gone mad, but I stood firm and crossed my arms, staring back at her firmly. "What do you mean by planner wolves?" "The planner wolves are those who record the amazing feats of battles for the future battles to read into strategies and also to..." "You are going to throw me behind a desk? I want to be on the battlefield..." "You will be, "Why was I trying so hard to convince her? "But at a safer distance away from the border, you can still see things happening. You are just as involved as you will be coming up with battle plans." She stared at me for the longest time, looking bleached, "So that's it? What has all my trai
Chapter forty-eight BRENDA'S POV It was so unusual, I didn't understand why I couldn't resist all he was telling me, it was so bone-chilling as I was unable to control my own body. The worst part was that when I reached the doorknob of his bedroom I couldn't feel the coldness against my palm and when I was in the room my body froze up and he walked in behind me. How was he making me do this? I wasn't even able to lift a finger without his command. What was he going to make me do now? "Sit on the bed," He said then someone walked in with a wooden cup containing a strange liquid. "Honestly, I wouldn't have had to do this if you hadn't been so stubborn, Brenda, and I hope that one day you'll see that I did this for you," With that, he held out the cup to me with a stretched hand and said; Drink it. At this point, I gritted my teeth trying to do my best to resist the urge to bend to his will as I kept my hands on my lap without moving them. He saw this and bent down
Chapter forty-nine THOMAS POV That didn't even exist. If she had listened to me and taken the job of a planner she would have still been as involved in the battle as anything they planned was what was executed. I knew that if she thought that she was pregnant she would be held down and agreed to be taken care of with my mother-away from the battle altogether. I heard a knock on my door and my eyes scooted over to it to see one of the guards that I had cut away from the main unit here at the cabin. "What are you doing?!" I barked at him, he was supposed to be following Brenda especially as we were at the border, and also supposedly she was pregnant with a child! He came and fell at my feet shaking like a leaf. "I'm so sorry, Prince Thomas...I...there were so many of them and they came so suddenly..." As he was speaking the rate of my heartbeat was rapidly changing with each second that flicked by my eyes. "Who were they?" "Rogues!"He confirmed the fear that was al
Chapter fifty THOMAS POV. Without sparing a single second I told Track, the wolf that led Brenda's escort team to rest while we made our way to Lala bridge but he insisted on following along. "At least you should give me the chance to redeem myself for failing you," I didn't have the time or the energy to argue with him and with my men already sliced to help escort Brenda we needed as much help by putting as many hands as we could get on deck. So I agreed and we were on our feet heading to Lala bridge, as we hurried we were there in about twenty minutes or so. "They...they are all dead, Prince Thomas."Track said. I realized that they had all taken a slash to the throat, every single one of them, and their bodies seem to be in the same state. Like they had all been killed at the same time. "Bury the bodies," I said, they fought well and deserved at least that. Just I noticed something from the corner of my eye that looked too good to be true at first. So I stepped c
Chapter fifty-one THOMAS POV Prince Thomas could still feel the unease that had taken over the group ever since I declared that one of them was definitely working for the enemy. They had been shooting each other dirty looks and glances and being extra cautious of every single step that they took. I sighed as I rested on a rock, I had not said that so that they would be at each other's backs with daggers but simply for them to be alert. No need to cry over spilt milk and nothing could be done to repair the broken trust, I had to admit that I hadn't let my guard down for a moment since I realized it. My mate had been taken carrying our pup-as if the situation wasn't helpless enough there was a rat in their midst that could be reporting their every move to the enemy. The enemy probably had my mate in their territory. My hands crashed into the wall next to me, what kind of inhumane torture was Brenda enduring now all because of my stupidity? I should have just trusted he
Chapter fifty-two THOMAS POV I looked at the giggling curly-haired blonde for the longest time before saying. Do try to keep to time if you are going to take after your father someday. Her chest felt like a deflated balloon for a while but her skin-deep smile was back before she had sat on her seat. "Now as I was saying..."I planned to take off the conversation again and then a maid rushed in at that moment. These people never let me complete my sentences. "Oh, I can't imagine..."The Aloha suddenly squeaked with a pitch that was copying his daughter. "I'm so sorry, Prince Thomas but there is something that is directly in need of my attention," He said as he was getting up. "What can be more important than this discussion-" Before I could get out all I want going to say he was already gone from the balcony and was left by myself- "So Prince Thomas..." Oh, I actually wasn't alone, his daughter was still here. "That name is so long, can I just call you my destiny?"
Chapter fifty-three THOMAS POV I opened my door and she walked in counting her steps as her eyes crawled across all the chairs in the room and chose to sit on my bed. "Sit, I'll tell you everything I know about her," She said then patted the bed with a look being thrown at me. Holding back a sigh I just dragged one of the chairs and sat down. "So?"I said."What do you know...?" I saw her lips drop a bit when I got the chair but she quickly fixed it up and then began to speak, "What I'm about to tell you is a big secret Thomas...can I call you Thomas?" Hearing someone big wasn't exactly fond of or impressed by calling me by my name so informally made my skin irk, since I was a pup even nobles called me by my title. I clenched my fingers, but I would have to bear it so she would feel more calm sharing with me. "Just go ahead with what you know of Brenda, how do you even know her..."I said, spreading my legs to balance on the chair and not miss the shift of her eyes to m
Chapter fifty-four KEVIN'S POV I could see that the king was already bored at tonight's entertainment, just looking at her eyes one could see that she never really experienced the true horrors of battle. And *, fortunately,* for her she never would, unlike her opponent-or wouldn't it be more accurate to call him her executor?- he was known as the butcher he had been one of our best fighters at the war front-still was-but years of knowing nothing but bloodshed and practically living on the battlefield as he had no home to go back to had truly broken him. He then became a threat to his people when he was offered help. But he was far too gone then... Far...far...too gone for anyone to reach him. "Hard to believe that nasty thing was actually one of my men before," The king said then let out a heavy sigh as he always did but slumped on his throne. "He looks just like those wolves now, what a waste of a good weapon." I felt a heavy sigh being trapped in my chest. "He
THOMAS POV"It has not gotten to the point where you seem to be screaming at me, I am in a better position to be screaming at you, if there is anyone to be screaming at, it is definitely going to be me and not you." She said to him with a very angry tone, the fact that he shouted at her really went to her."Ok I am sorry! You know I am not always like this, the reason why I Shouted at you was because I felt that it was the only way I could make you calm down, you know that I am not always like this? " He explains to her the reason why he acted and shouted at her that way."Ok, now that you've gotten the best part of me it isn't just wise for you to leave like that, at least give me an explanation for my dilemma." I said to him at the bikini bootcamp it seems like he's about to tell her something she doesn't know.I never wanted to tell you this because I know you will take it the wrong way, I wanted you to just figure it out yourself rather than me telling it to you, I know and I unde
JESSICA POV"I hope it isn't what I'm thinking, I hope you haven't started developing feelings for her?" I haave been as he couldn't look at her straight in the eye,He stared at the ground as he placed his hands in his pocket."What do you mean by that? what are you thinking?" He asked her trying to cover everything up, he doesn't want her to move into the aspect, he knows that if she continues pressuring him he could let the secret out from his mouth."That's what I'm talking about, exactly what I've been trying to say?" She said to him as she pointed to his eyes, in his chest, coming very close to him, I'm talking directly into his mouth."I can see it in your eyes, you're hiding something, you're having something to do with her and you are keeping it a secret from me?" She said to him as he gave her an uncertain reaction, he tried his best stronging his face, so that she would not be able to be true intentions by observing his facial reactions."Why are you disturbing yourself? wh
THOMAS POVWhile I was telling her the story she couldn't stop laughing. She laughed so hard that I felt some kind of relief, I always hate myself for what I made her go through so seeing her laugh this hard maee me very happy."And that was how the whole thing ended." I said to her when I was done with the story. Brenda started coughing because of how hard she laughed. I stood up immediately and rushed downstairs to get her water. The moment I got back to the room I handed the water back to her."Thank you." She said to me with a smile on her face when I handed the water to her. She drank the water, when she was done she stopped coughing."That was a very nice one, he thinks he is smart? He met the best Alpha and prince any pack will want to have." When she said this I was calm.I remembered the day this case ended Jessica didn't tell me anything instead she praised just the Alpha.It's been a while since I got such accolades from a person. Everything Brenda does makes me love her the
THOMAS POVI decided to go into Brenda's room so we can talk because ever since she got out we have not been able to talk very well.I also want to inform her about Jessica and how dangerous she can be so that she will be careful around her."This is so awkward." I said to myself when Brenda asked what I was doing in her room. She looked really upset and I was wondering if it's my presence that's making her so upset or there is another reason."Why do you look so upset?" I asked her so I'll know if I am the cause of her angry mood or something else is making her unhappy."Jessica was here a few minutes ago." Brenda said to me with a sad look on her face I was now sure of the reason why she was frowning when I walked into the room."What did she say to you?" I asked, so that I can be sure of what she said to her and know what to tell Brenda.Brenda was quiet; she did not reply to me the moment I asked a question. She was acting as if what Jessica told her is something that is so annoyin
BRENDA'S POVI was shocked when I realised me Thomas asked them to release me from the cell.It was something I never expected because I've already given up on him trying to save me from the mess I was going through, and I was patiently waiting for them to sell me to any Park that suits them.On getting released I heard that Thomas has already announced Jessica to be his mate. I don't know if I was heartbroken but I knew I wasn't happy when I heard the news, then I realised that was why he left me in the cell all these while.It is still like a dream to me but I have no other choice than to accept it and thank him for finally releasing me from the cell.He called me to his room earlier telling me that he has to pretend that he has feelings for me in front of Jessica, so that she can be brought back to her senses so I'm not happy with the idea but at least it will give me the opportunity to see him everyday."I am so confused." I said to myself, as I was thinking if what he was doing i
THOMAS POVI am only trying to bring Jessica back to her senses but I don’t know if I am doing the right thing anymore because the way she reacted after seeing Brenda I might be cooking a very big trouble while trying to set her straight.Though I have a feeling that after seeing Brenda she will be more interested in doing things that’ll please me and stop thinking of how to eliminate and punish Brenda.“I just hope I’m not making a mistake.” I said to myself while I was standing outside and continued walking out of the corridor.The moment I got to the sitting room I saw Brenda standing. She looked really beautiful after cleaning up herself and she even wore the dress I gave to her.I walked closer to her and unknowingly a smile escaped my lips.“You look clean now.” I said to her trying not to praise her beauty so it’ll not cause trouble between Jessica and I.Brenda lowered her head without a smile. “Thank you.” She said to me with her head low.“Have you eaten anything?” I asked h
JESSICA’S POV“So why are you here?” Mira asked me with a kind of look that didn’t seem nice. I just tried to overlook it so that I don’t start making up things in my head.I turned to look at her trying to figure out the reply I will give to her.“I need your help.” The moment I said this she sighed like she knew I was actually in her house because I needed her help.“You never came to see me all these months and now you are here to seek my help?” Mira said to me and started laughing, I wasn’t expecting her laughter so I was wondering why she is laughing all of a sudden instead of a sudden when I just said something that seems urgent to me.“Please I want you to…”“I can’t help you.” Mira said to me without hesitating. It felt like a needle pierced through my heart when I heard what she said, she sounded like she really meant what she was saying.“What are you saying? I’m your best friend and I need your help.” I said to her trying to emotionally blackmail her, but I have forgotten t
Writer’s POVJessica couldn’t believe her ears she was wondering if what Thomas said is true or he is just pulling her legs. She stood up from where she was sitting and walked to the front of Thomas.“You know I hate jokes, please don’t joke with me like that.” Jessica said to Thomas still trying to believe Thomas was lying to her. She looked at his face after talking patiently waiting to hear that he is actually joking with her.“I told you already I am not joking.” Thomas said to her trying to prove to her that he is really not joking with her. Jessica was shocked she was wondering what’s going on and why Thomas was suddenly trying to release Brenda.“What’s wrong? Why do you want to release her? She needs to be sold.” Jessica said to Thomas in a rather low tone. Thomas knew that Jessica feels threatened by the presence of Brenda so this is his only way of bringing Jessica back to her senses.“I want her here, and I have every right to release her.” Thomas said to Jessica in an almo
THOMAS POVThe moment I wanted to go close to the prison take a closer look at her I noticed she was standing from where she is sitting.I moved back immediately and watched her from afar. She walked forward and from the way she looked it’s obvious she was in deep thought.“Am I really going to be sold to another pack and be there as an Omega?” Brenda asked hersekf while she was in deep thoughts. She remembered how the others were sold and the fear of her being sold one day gripped her.“god please bring someone to save me from here.” Brenda said as a prayer, then she noticed the mosquitoes were already too much where she was standing, she moved back immediately and sat down where she was sitting earlier.I couldn’t watch her anymore in such situation so I had to walk away. What bothered me the most is the reason why she was taken to such dirty room, that particular place has been abandoned for a very long time.I walked back to the room. I opened the door slowly so that if I see Jess
