Allegra awoke that morning with a light head and her eyes blinked gently to see the colourful ceiling above her.She recognized the room as hers in the packhouse and stretched out her hands in the air.The last thing she recalled was passing out in the arms of Zayn after the call from Ajax.The weakness of her system must have been responsible.She turned to the other side of the bed and made to shut her eyes but paused to see the figure seated on the chair close to the bed."You're finally awake," He said and she rose to a seating position quickly."Zayn""Hey" Zayn responded and touched her forehead, "Now that's better. You were burning up last night"He returned to sit on the chair and she asked, "Don't tell me you spent the night by my side"She seemed to cock her brows at him."I didn't touch you if that's what you think of me. Shane had some female omegas dress you up" He got to his feet and exhaled, "My watch here is done""Zayn, I--"She was interrupted by a knock and the door
.....Months Earlier.....Kimberly was awakened by a heavy headache that caused her to let out a groan.She realized she was on the floor and so, rose to a seating position only for her to see Ajax standing right before her.She was immediately frightened and crawled backwards because she now knew the last thing she remembered.He was the man who came into her house and asked her to take the glass of juice."What do you want?"Ajax forced an evil smile and approached her with his hand in the pocket of his suit.She was scared of him and staggered to her feet quickly, prepared to cast a spell if he makes a move to hurt her.That was when Kimberly heard the muffled noise behind her.She hesitates but finally turned to see Amanda chained hands and legs in a cubicle cage that was made of silver metal."Mom!" She yelled and pulled quickly to the cage but there was no way to enter.Amanda's mouth was gagged with a rubber ball to restrict her speech and all she could do was groan.Kimberly t
....Present... ...The Kingdom Of Baridoki...The market square of the kingdoms was filled that afternoon with both sellers and buyers and there was also August who was filling a basket with vegetables for the princess.He was done for the day and took the usual path that lead to the palace.He occasionally waved at some wolves who recognised him as the guard of the late prince and would get back to walking.August was moving past a small household building when a woman from nowhere jumped him from behind and pulled him inside.The attackers shut the door and he staggered to his feet to face her.August was prepared to fight as this was not the first time he would get jumped by robbers on his way from the square market.His fingers thickened into claws and his eyes turned blue, he made to attack but halts quickly because she removed the veil covering her face.He recognized her instantly."Y--You..." His voice broke and she nodded."Yes, me" Aurora responded with a deep
The white horse took them for minutes and finally arrived at the location Aurora had remembered.She got down from the creature with August and they looked around first to ensure no one was lurking close by."So... Is this the place?" He asked, staring at the cliff ahead of them.Aurora did not respond and walked past him to the edge of the cliff.He quickly followed and looked down the cliff to see the endless depth after the waterfall below."What the hell?" August cursed and his heart sank.There was no way one could survive this height.Their eyes met and he could tell she was thinking about the same thing too."I guess he is dead then" She stood at akimbo and August could see the look of disappointment on her face.He was too.Maybe he shouldn't have given the queen hope concerning her son.August turned from her and bolt away angrily into the woods."I'm sorry. Okay?" She said with a loud voice but he was gone already."Fvck!" Aurora cursed bitterly and threw her fist in the air
Zayn shook his head and asked, "Is the mate bond messing with you? I understand you've been human for hours. The sudden return and the rush must have heightened things for you. I understand and you'll be fine. I'm ready to accept your rejection, Allegra. You'll be free of me forever" She couldn't believe her eyes and the tears in her eyes became hot as they swam down to her chin. "You want to accept my rejection?" Her head was now heavy and she struggled to stay on her feet. She managed to ask painfully, "Why?" 'Why? Was she serious right now?' Zayn asked himself internally and then feigned surprise, "Um, isn't that what you want? To be free from the bond, I want freedom now, so... I think I'm going to accept it and we can go our separate ways. I Zayn Hendrixson, crowned prince of Baridoki--" He did not expect her to interrupt him least predictably. Zayn was not planning to accept the rejection yet and was only showing his alpha male side which have been silenced since he found
Silence filled the air for minutes with the eyes of the mates making firm contact.Zayn slowly cursed himself for saying such.This should have been an act of perfect revenge on her for using the same line on him days ago but his heart had gone soft for her.Playing alpha male on her was difficult except he had a strong determination.But, that's a big question he would love to hear an answer to.Since her stance about him is changing then, what about the sexual aspect?Does she want to have an experience now?Allegra was stunned and speechless.She stood fixed on the spot and eventually found her voice, "What?"The eye contact between them broke and Zayn cleared his throat, "Do you want me to come for breakfast?"She swallowed the saliva in her mouth and shook her head gently.Could it be possible she heard him wrong?'Damn! What's going on with you Allegra? Focus'After the Ajax incident, she cursed herself every single moment for being cruel to the good man.Only if she knew Zayn w
Zayn's mind was lost in oblivion for a second and he felt his physical body spinning in the darkness until he crashed into the hard floor of a room and groaned painfully. His head ached badly and a painful echo responded in his eyes. It took several minutes for him to gain complete consciousness of his mind and body. His eyes blinked open and he looked around to recognize the room. It was Stephen's living room. "What?" He staggered to his feet and turned to see him rocking a rocky chair beside the fireplace while engaging himself with eating popcorn from a bowl. "You're awake" Stephen mumbled with a mouth full of popcorn and turned his head to him. Zayn winced in pain and managed to ask, "What am I doing here?" Stephen rose from the chair and approached, "Ajax says it's time to finally meet you" "What?" He was confused for a moment until his senses return in full and he recalled what had led to him landing here. He was pulled by such a powerful force he had never felt befor
......15-Years-Ago..... ....The Kingdom Of Baridoki.... Little Zayn watched the palace guard move from the library corridor to the main entrance of the palace and quickly hid behind a wall.As soon as he was out of sight, he crawled quickly down the corridor and found his way into the palace library which Jeffrey had forgotten to lock up that evening.Zayn turned on the lamp on the desk and carried it along into the library.He moved past shelves of books which were carefully arranged until he got to the forbidden section.There was no demarcation as it was the last shelf in the library and he wondered why it was called forbidden if available for everyone to access.Not everyone. Only the keeper, the elders and the royal family had access to the palace library, and there was a law that forbade everyone except the king and elders from visiting the forbidden section.Well, he was good at breaking the law and his mother would always protect him from the punishment of the king.Thi
The double wooden door of the kingdom hall was pulled open by the omega guards at the entrance revealing Allegra who had a white veil over her head.She was dressed in a Queen's apparel and is led down the aisle by no other person than her very father, Cain; who had his royal garment on him as well. This was a day she never imagined would come. Lead down the aisle by the very man who banished and tried to have her killed, that was years ago. Just a day after the battle of Baridoki, he arrived with his mother. Allegra's grandmother. To apologize and ask for forgiveness for being damn ignorant and letting himself be deceived by the elders of his kingdom. The only reason she accepted was the truth he brought.She was tied to the throne by the spirits that be already and when he(Cain) dies, she becomes the queen of Dakota but now that she is marked, her kingdom becomes her mate's.Meaning, the two kingdoms finally get to merge as one.Not an alliance. As wolves in one kingdom bonded
The proud smirk at the corners of Aurora's lips widened as she clarified. "Come to think of it, only a foolish woman would make a man come in her when she's unsure of her time of the month. I know the time I should avoid fvcking and also the time I should fvck like the world is coming to an end. I told August that, so when he finds you alive, it would motivate you to return. I got a child, I got a baby, I want to see my baby. Grandmother normally says a father's love for a child is amazing but not my father's. He's the opposite "Allegra's jaw dropped and she only managed to say. "You're lying, ain't you? You're trying to make me feel happy like you always do. We would take responsibility for your child, Aurora"She scoffed and shook her head. "Maybe my future child. I'm serious, I got no little bastard dwelling within me. Take a look for yourselves.." Aurora tugged her cloth upwards revealing her stomach and Allegra was quick to cover Zayn's eyes with her hand.Aurora's stomach look
Zayn waved his hand for a moment and the joyous wolves and silenced was restored. He continued calmly, "I am your new king and will restore this kingdom to what it always was. Trust me. I will leave to celebrate and then I will address the kingdom proper by tomorrow"'Can I pass Silas' sentence now? ' His mother's voice sounded and he nodded without turning back."One more thing, the one who killed our king and framed me for it to become the fake king will pass through judgment, now" He announced to them and the noise from the wolves increased as they chant with one voice. "Long live the king!"He took a step back and Rita took his position to address the wolves of the kingdom. Silence ensured for a moment when they saw her. She had spoken with Elder Maddox before Zayn showed up and he told the people who now loved her for the things she had done for the family and the kingdom. Nothing spread faster than rumours and gossip in the kingdom of Baridoki. They moved at the speed of li
Zayn without a single emotion on his face commanded the warriors of the kingdom, "Kill them all except the king, he's mine, and the Dohara warriors outside the kingdom, destroy them all. I have an army coming through the gates, join forces with them""Your command we will execute, Your Grace"Without further warning, the warriors troop away from the hallway to outside the palace, leaving twenty behind to rush the warriors with Daman.Daman stepped away from his wolves to face Zayn who stared him dead in the eyes.The Doharis in the throne room was overwhelmed and subdued in no time, stabbing their claws into the thrusts of the enemies before leaving to join the others outside.Zayn turned to his mother and nodded. "Leave Mother, this is not something you would want to see"The elders and the King's guard quickly helped to escort Rita out of the palace room."I'm impressed by your aura" Daman cleared his throat as he moved slowly towards Zayn with his hands behind him."I'm not here to
A black hole appeared on the roof of the palace and Zayn stepped out with Kimberly behind him.They went low and crawled to the end to see the warriors of Doharis arranged up in various lines to form several squares of them.He was careful not to stretch longer and draw their attention to him.Zayn breathed out and turned to Kimberly. "You see this? Take the message to Allegra. She begins marching our people to the kingdom. I'll have the warriors join the fight"She asked him calmly, "Are you sure about this?""Is the only way. I would have wanted to help with the fighting and end all this in the twinkle of an eye but the sudden appearance of a witch would raise questions from other kingdoms and they'll fear Baridoki might use the witch to conquer kingdoms. Witches are feared and having one by our side will make kingdoms rise against us. What we need in the wolf world right now is peace "She nodded and scratched the bridge of her nose. " I understand. This I've done is good for me. I
Cold shivers ran down her spine and hot tears refilled her eyes in the instant.The voice brought back memories of Modrich who had quite a similar voice as his son.She missed him and knew life would never be the same without him but she had a son.Zayn. Zayn would take over Modrich's throne and that was just what she needed for happiness to be restored to her life.And nothing would stop his ascension. She was sure of it.The spirits are with Zayn and they would fight with him to cease power from Silas.He had exact power. What he wields was a fake authority to control the army of Baridoki but it's about to change.The one and only true king was here.'Son..' She responded and bit her lower lip. 'I'm back, Mother. I'll fix everything, I promise' She coughed into her open palm and beamed a smile. 'I know, and we'll be waiting for you 'Are you safe? Mother. Right now, are you?' 'Worry more about coming down here Son, I'll take care of myself. I was going to talk the kingdom wolves i
After the last wolf in Zayn's pack went through the opening at the seashore, Zayn turned to Amanda who had her hands behind and cleared his throat."You've done enough for me. Thank you"Amanda forced a smile and pushed her hair off her shoulder. "There's no need for that. You deserve all the help you need to reclaim your stolen mandate. And um, I'm sorry things didn't work out between you and Allegra"Zayn sniffed and bit his lower lip. "Yeah. Shitty past catching up with me. I'll return to um, talk things with her. I just need to take care of my kingdom for now""It's not about your shitty past anymore. It's the future. You're a good man and I believe she has seen that and will come around her mind""I hope so" Zayn responded and Amanda stretched her hand. "Nice meeting you, Prince Zayn"They shook hands before she took steps back to oversee them leaving through the opening she had created.The opening connected to the other world and so the forbidden forest could be seen like a mov
A new form of rage coursed through Zayn's veins after August finished speaking.Silas had gone off the line completely and his mother is suffering so much pain than he imagine.They were right, he had to go right now but then there's Allegra who's back to the woman she formally was.Zayn was left to choose between his kingdom and her.He hated the position he was trapped in and knows fully well his decision would determine the future.This wasn't something easy.One way or another, there was no avoiding it, he had to go for one.'I'll be with you now, August' He closed the mind-link and opened another with the pack's beta, 'Prepare the wolves to march into my world... Prepare their minds for the war we're about to walk into ''We await your presence, Alpha. I did the counting as you asked and the recruited rogues and loners have increased our number drastically, we're talking about a thousand and one'Zayn's jaw dropped in surprise. He wasn't expecting a such spike in the number.Anyw
Zayn came to stop in front of Allegra's bedroom door and exhaled with eyes shut before knocking on the door.There was no response from her and that caused him to rest his head against the wall.Just when he thought he had everything, Aurora came like fvcking wave to ruin it all.He internally cursed the day he met her.He cursed his d¡ck for choosing to stick itself into a cursed hole.It wasn't exactly the dude's fault.It's been him. It's been fvcking him the entire time.Aurora should never have come into his life in the first place..."Allegra, just listen to me, okay?" Zayn tried to open the door but it was locked.A part of him wanted to take down the door so he could have the conversation with her but it wasn't an option."Go away, Zayn. Go and save your kingdom, you're wasting your time down here. I have nothing to lose" Her voice sounded from behind the door.Low, yet with traces of pain and disappointment.She was already in line to be with even if it costs her the pack, he
