Riona POV..Was this a dream? I was surrounded by white. Was I in heaven? I wasn't dead yet, was I? The field of flowers around me was all in white. White roses, white lilies, white cosmos, and even sunflowers were in a shade of white. I lifted my head and took a glimpse of the horizon, the sky though was a hue of baby blue and pristine white. The scents of the flowers surrounding me spread in the air. My nostrils were tickled as my nose cringed.I turned around just to see a beautiful lake behind me, its crystal water radiated throughout illuminating the whole horizon. It was a beautiful sight to see. I gasped at the breathtaking view in front of me."Mesmerizing!" I whispered with my stunned expression."Indeed!" I almost jumped to my feet when I heard a familiar voice behind me. His manly tone caressed my senses.I turned around to see a gorgeous man dressed like a king. His crown shone so brightly that it dazed my sight. I put my palm on my forehead to at least cover my squinte
Matthew POV.."Riona, please stay with me. Open your eyes, sweetheart!" I clasped her hand tight while staring at her in her sleep. At first, she was just murmuring. She was mumbling some words even my wolf hearing couldn't understand. Then I saw her body shake a tad bit as her murmurs became audible."Matthew!" she whispered my name in the middle of her rest.Beads of sweat formed on her forehead, she wasn't feverish but hot. I took a closer look as I leaned my body forward and saw the tears in the corner of her eyes.Was she dreaming? Probably!"Matthew!" I heard my name once more. I planted some kisses on her cheeks and the tip of her nose. My hand wiped the sweat on her brow."Sweetheart, I'm here. I love you so much, Riona Grey!" I told her in her unconscious mind if that would make her stay with me, I would never get tired of speaking to her. "You're mine. You only belong to me!" I continued whispering while I showered her some kisses on her face and the back of her palm.I
Caesar POV.."He did WHAT?!" my growl thundered my bureau. My Assistant literally jumped to his feet. The two wolves next in rank bowed their heads scared to look me in the eye. "The Alpha of the Cave Wolf pack surrendered, my king. Based on our informant inside their territory, the Chosen Maiden ordered them to leave and never to attack the two kingdoms without her permission!" "WHAT?!" Thaddeus, my long-time assistant stepped back frightened. I hadn't seen this coming. The Chosen Maiden is on his side. On their side. What would happen to me now? What would happen to my kingdom? My fingers curled up into tight fists, my wolf would like to emerge. My claws came out slowly cutting my palms, blood spouting on the floor. "However, My King, we have laws that even the Chosen Maiden can't bend!" my eyes lit up with that realization. Then I remembered, Matthew Moore wasn't the true Alpha King yet. I was still alive. All I could do was fight him to death."Yeah! Right!" I rubbed my chi
Matthew POV.."We're all going back to the kingdom. It is safe for the time being. Send my message to Victor and my Uncle Baron to return to the palace today. The war has ended... For now!" I announced to all of the werewolves present at that moment and they all nodded in agreement. Most were jumping for joy and excitement."Hrmm! Alpha King, are we going to celebrate?" one of the rogues, the youngest, I could guess hesitantly asked. "Perhaps! As you can see, it's the end of the war...temporarily. But we can celebrate and pay respect to our members who have lost their loved ones in the war!" They all nodded in response. I felt my mate's warm hand intertwining with mine and as I gazed at her, our doting eyes met. "Let's go home, Matthew. I miss our home so much!" he whispered in my ear. "Let's go!" I gave her a peck on the cheek before turning my sight to Hamil and Zenia. "Do we have any means of transport here except for shifting?" I sternly asked. I still could not forget that my
Matthew POV..My eyes darted to the three robust werewolves wearing Spartan-like outfits. Just by their looks, I was already aware of where they came from...the enemy kingdom!"Greetings to you, your Majesty!" Gustav bowed before me, the two beside him followed. "Gustav, any news from Caesar?" I asked, stern and direct. I knew what he wanted. This dog didn't come here without huge reasons. My father and Victor watched Gustav's companions with vigilance as their eyes ransacked the surroundings. My warriors were on alert, I sensed their rage, boiling blood ran through their veins. Just one tiny mistake from these dogs, their heads would be separated from their bodies. I didn't need to command that for them anymore."Our Alpha King Caesar challenges you into a fight for the throne!" Gustav sneered. No formality, no scroll, just plain nonsense-spouting."You came all the way to our kingdom dressed with arrogance and foolishness. What made you think you can deliver back Alpha King Matt
Victor POV..Matthew let me and his cousin, Hamil clean up the mess. I saw fear in the eyes of Caesar's warriors as they stared deeply at their half-dead king. It would take him days or weeks to heal. After then he would leave the Dark Moon Pack for eternity. "What will happen to us now?" I heard Thaddeus ask in a whisper. I fixed my stare on him scanning his emotions at that moment. I could feel both his anxiety and fear. He thought the future of their kingdom was uncertain. I shifted my glance at Hamil who gave me words through mind-link."It's your position to speak. They're waiting!" followed by a thin smile, I knew what he meant. And I knew exactly what I would do. Matthew would do the same thing.I stepped forward to the circle, knelt on one knee, and gazed at Caesar who was gasping for air. I leaned forward bending my body so I could whisper into his ear my final message to him. His warriors remained stiff. They had no idea what I was going to do. "My brother will be glad t
Riona POV..Days had passed since the last battle had ended. Caesar's reign had come to an end. Hamil told me that based on our spy's information, he was left all alone on the battlefield that afternoon. I felt relief that our world was now at peace. Matthew had been doing his task as the new Alpha King in all three kingdoms. He traveled back and forth to Dark Moon and Crescent Moon Kingdoms these past few days. Some of the people in Dark Moon still couldn't believe that their king had gone. It was a good thing, Victor was with him. Also, Thaddeus, Caesar's highest beta, was on good terms with them. He explained everything to their people about what happened.So far, the adjustment came out smoothly. No rebellions, no threats, and just plain living in peace. Matthew killed some betas who planned to end his life. Just thinking about it, I felt goosebumps all over my body. I heard Erro and Hamil speak in secret in his office once while he was sleeping, a female omega tried to stab hi
Matthew POV..I planned to surprise my queen today. I arrived home at around noon with Victor and Hamil. We left Draco, Aram, Erro, and Uncle Baron in the two kingdoms. Based on my companions' quick strides, I could say I wasn't the only one excited to come home."Looks like, you, two, are also in hurry to see the twins!" I snickered. I knew well that my brother had been wooing Zenith since and Hamil was getting frustrated following Zenia everywhere. If only he hadn't had tasks in the Crescent Moon Kingdom, he would stay in the palace...tailing her. But the girl knew how to play. She's indeed a warrior. She could break Hamil's heart in an instant."I don't know what you're talking about!" Victor defensively uttered avoiding my curious stare."I'm here to rest. The task you gave me in the Crescent Moon isn't that easy!" Hamil also responded with narrowed eyes."Huh! Yeah, sure. You both need to work hard to...you know at least get their attention...AGAIN!" I just loved teasing them.
Riona POV..Six years had passed...."Goddess, twins! Couldn't you be more careful? You're gonna hurt your baby sister!" Gosh! It was joyful, beyond satisfaction, and really beyond the explanation of how it was to be a mother...of three troublemaker pups."But mommy, I wanna play with Dreya!" Drake, my strong-headed firstborn whined. He was just 15 minutes earlier than Darren, my cutie pup and sugar. He stomped his tiny feet on the floor earning him a warning stare from me. "Okay! I will behave!" he bowed his head showing his defeat. I heard Darren chuckle behind him but also stopped when his big brother frowned at him. It was obvious that this cutie pup was scared of his big bro, the copycat of their dad...who at that moment was striding in big steps from the entrance."Dad is here!" I told the twins and they turned around, their delight to see their father who had been in the Cave Wolves Pack for days was evident in their small frames."Daddy!" they immediately ran toward him and
Riona POV..Today was the big day and I couldn't still believe that I was gonna get married...to my mate, my man, my Matthew! Recalling how we had met flashed a smile on my face. Was it an incident or fate that brought us together? Sometimes, I'd like to thank Draco and the rest who took me by force from my family that day. If not, I would not be able to meet him...my soulmate in the human world, my mate here in the Wolfen world. I glanced at myself in the mirror. I was wearing a pristine white trumpet gown with a laced tattoo on the back revealing my flesh. My future husband had never seen my dress yet so, I already prepared my reasons in case he would throw a fuss. My face was covered with an embellished cathedral veil that was attached to my hair styled in a bun with some pearls and diamonds surrounding it. "This is it!" I gasped in a whisper. I saw my mother amble behind me with some tears on her cheeks. Just like me, she also couldn't believe I would get married today."You lo
Matthew POV.."What gave you permission to go there?" my mind was buzzing, my head was in terrible pain, and I was absolutely upset tonight.Her puppy glassy eyes were blinking, she looked so pitiful but NO! Not tonight, Riona Grey! Not before I saw that wasted werewolf almost touched her. No, he already touched her by squeezing his filthy wasted body in between her and Zenith. That drunk man earned an award in the dungeon by the way. I wanted to give him a punching souvenir but this stubborn, MY law violator queen-to-be stopped me. I was pacing back and forth for already ten minutes in my own chamber but she didn't want to talk."No! Let me change the question. WHO permitted YOU to go there? Was it dad?" I stepped forward to glance at her better, yet, her head was staring at the floor. Her hands fidgeted on her protruding baby bump and that made me realize, spanking was a light punishment for this woman."You didn't even think of our baby?! What if something happened to our pup? Ri
