Riona POV
I rushed upstairs bluffing to be anxious and unaware. As I swung the unlocked door open, I saw my dear Master, standing at the foot of his bed, staring straight at the woman lying in bed with her hands spreading occupying the wide king-sized crib and...naked!
"Master, you called me!" perhaps that would be my response every time he called my alias for I wasn't allowed to ask. If other servants or even Sonia would reply with, "Yes, Master?" or with "Master, do you need anything?", I would not. For a clear and concise reason - it's an obvious question mark!
He didn't say anything at first but I could see how his shoulders bounced up then down, taking a deep sigh while his eyes were fixed on the 'naked healer'. His hands were also on his waist and luckily, he was wearing a silk navy robe at the moment. Now, how I wished he was also bare.
"Come here!" strong and dominant, I sauntered to his side, head bowed down, and hands clasped in front of my flat
Victor POV "Those covetous grabbing crumbs!" my mother slammed the long table it almost broke on her side. Her roars echoed in the whole palace resulting in some of the Betas getting startled. We were having another jovial meal and this time the Betas from every side of the kingdom joined us. My mother sat beside me on my royal's chair never forgot to announce her position in the royal family - Queen Luna! My father was on my opposite eight seats away from me, an indication that he withdrew all of his duty as the former king of the Blue Moon Pack. He just let out a deep breath as he swiftly glanced at his wife. Their relationship became cancerous little by little when he noticed Queen Luna had kept me on a tight rein with most of my ruling in the kingdom. "Victor, get all the leaders in every aristocratic family and hire more warriors from the ignoble households!" she turned to me as she gave her order forgetting I should be the one commanding everyon
Victor POV As my magisterial wolf feature entered the high two-door wooden gate, my four guarding warriors dressed in Athenian linothorax bowed their heads with their fists on their chests and announced my arrival. "Greetings to you, Alpha King!" "Lift your heads. Have keen eyes in your surroundings!" I responded reign flowed all over me after I shifted in front of them. "Yes, Alpha King!" they all replied in chorus as they stood straight while I walked past them. I could hear from my direction the loud whacks, screams, and 'hiya' of my warriors training in the middle of the wide field. Some were also practicing how to use their powers well. These were my youngest warriors who just reached their puberty stage. They were trained by Draco using his telekinetic ability. I stopped behind him listening to his instructions to the students aged 13 to 16 standing in rows keenly watching the gold-plated metal goblets on the wood
Victor POV The moment Aram reported the high priest caught him roving the forest, I rushed back to the palace. Before my mother could make him spill the beans, I had to stop her. Queen Luna's temperament was irrational when she's enraged. "Alpha King, I will go with you!" I heard Zenith speak to me in my thoughts and saw her running behind me on her four legs. I smiled at her and looked ahead after. "Thanks, Zenith. Immerse your power in my mother's activities. What does she want? The high priest is in the woods. It only means one thing, she is watching over us!" I told her when she was already beside me, I saw her nod and heard her little whimper. We dashed like thunderstorms collapsing my palace's wide iron-coated gate violently, crashing on the ground built from old bricks. The four warriors guarding the entrance covered their heads as they squatted, startling growls irked my sensitive ears and burning eyes watching their half wolve's f
Victor POV I glanced at Aram who was lying on his bed in his room in the palace. I gave him a special place to stay here so I could have access to him 24/7. He was still unconscious. The high priest confessed, four of Queen Luna's men brutally hit him with a whip. Beside me were Zenith and the royal doctor who checked his condition. Two 'hypourgoi' were monitoring his heart and pulse rate. "How long will he regain his consciousness?" I questioned the royal doctor and his swift glance was shifted to me. I was not staring at him when I asked but I could see from the corner of my eyes, he was frightful. "What's the matter? Can you not answer my question?" I asked as I slowly moved my head to his side facing him. My stern look caught him off guard, he knew with what happened today, a negative reply was the least that I would want to hear. "My King, it will take time! His wounds are deep and Queen Luna might have put something on the wh
Matthew POVI was excited but at the same time fidgeting!It took me so long to choose the outfit I was going to wear after shifting. I pulled and slid my hanging shirts on the rack, my eyes were getting narrower and narrower till it was the last shirt that I touched. I left a frustrating sigh when it was futile. My gasp escaped my open mouth while my hands nestled on my waist, still gawking at my branded or custom-made outfits that were elegantly hanging on the rack of my wide wardrobe."Sonia!" I loudly called my butler to ask for her help.As she rushed to my room, she was stunned to see me just standing there with my eyes fixed on those clothes. I turned around to face her awestruck look and pointed my index finger at my apparel."Choose an outfit for me? It's for my after-shifting!""Master? What do you mean, Master?"Exactly! What did I mean by that? I constantly bit my lips showing my jumpy side. She ambled to
Riona POVWho was he to order me around?Well, I forgot, he was my Master and I was his mere slave. But even so, who was he to yell at me? Again! Who was I kidding?! He had all the right to do that to me. He could even slash my throat if he wanted. I trembled on that thought. I'd rather begin the task he gave me tonight so I could finish early. I glanced around and checked the surroundings. I couldn't see any dirt except for the unfinished meal on the table. What was I going to clean?I cleaned up the table and did the dishes fast instead. My heart was ticking like the hand of the grandfather clock mounted on the wall. After cleaning up, I went straight to my room and changed. The beautiful dress I prepared earlier was already in my backpack waiting for me on the bed. I hated the fact that my outfit ripped every time I shifted and if there wasn't a good Samaritan who always left a shirt or a coat in the forest, I would go back to the mansion naked. I
Matthew POV The tip of my manhood was already at the entrance like a soldier prepared to attack. She pushed me away, I also got up and stepped back. We're both aware we're naked but that's not important right now! She bent her body, her hands covered her chest and her jewel, I couldn't deny, I was tempted to lower my dumbstruck gaze once in a while. "Master, what are you doing here?" her question brought me back to my senses, shaking my head, and tried to focus my now blue ocean orbs on her but h*ck, who was I kidding? Those pinkish nipples were drowning my sanities to lust, could be slobbering enough to suck and devour them. "Master, you quit staring at my boobs. Answer my question. What are you doing here?" her louder upset tone quivered me or maybe it's that d*mn early winter breeze that just greeted my body with its blow. "Am I not supposed to be the one asking that, Slave?" I questioned, making my voice fierce equalling her mood. But deep
Riona POV I had no idea what to do now? My whole senses trembled like an earthquake my mind was a mess. How could that happen? No! How did that happen? He's a Moore! He knew about the Blue Moon Pack. Strings of questions were floating in the air while I locked myself in my room, curled my body into a ball, clutched my hands around my knees, and buried my head on my lap. "Why was he here?" "What's his connection with the Moores clan?" "Was he really my mate?" "Friya, what are we going to do now?" I asked my wolf that was also become mute since the sun rose and a tiny whimper replied to my question. "What do you mean? You see I don't understand you if you're like this. I'm asking you, are we going to escape here or we're just going to stay?" I rubbed my chest, I felt I was into thin air. Escaped again?! Where were we going this time? "Let's leave this place and we'll never meet our mate again. But if we stay, he might bring us back to Blue Moon Pack. We can't escape there for th
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
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..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
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
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
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
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
