Riona POVThat only werewolf meal was nothing but a disaster. As always, the food on the table was splendid but they were all wax to taste. Upon imparting his plausible opinion, Matthew stormed out. The last thing we heard was his car driving off at a breakneck speed.I sighed desperately while gazing blankly at this grace. Sure, the life of well-offs was the same as the life from the royal pack. No matter how enormous and elegant this mansion was, it felt empty and shady. It looked dim and depressing.My lips let out some air as my breathing rose. My legs pushed the edge of my chair and bowed at the remaining audience at the table. Without any words, I left the dining room and strode to the back door. As my sneakers touched the lawn, I went flat out like a flash of lightning. My destination, the cliff.I was like a lost soul running to the forest, unbridled by the protruding roots and these enormous leaves that were slapping my body and my face. Till I reached the c
Riona POVI was woken up by noises on the first floor the next day. I stretched my hands welcoming the rays of the sun that were peeping through the window. I blinked my eyes till they got used to the morning light. As I dragged myself up, I glanced at the digital clock on the side table."Oh! Shoot!" I hastily got off the bed my duvet was tangled to my feet sending me a loud thud of falling, my face kissed the wooden floor. "Hey, floor! You're lucky, you're my first kiss in the morning!" I mumbled as I got up and immediately ran to the bathroom.It was ten in the morning. Nobody had ever knocked on my door to wake me up. This was my first time slumbering for too long. Hamil and I left the forest at midnight but that didn't mean I had to sleep like a log.As I was done with my morning routine, I ambled downstairs only to see King Victor, Baron, and Hamil. Hamil was even stunned to see me striding in haste."Sorry, I slept a lot. But where are you guys going?
Riona POV..I was just gazing around while listening to the command Victor was proclaiming. He gathered all his loyal subjects, spoke to them about preparation while I was beside him."Use your power if necessary. Always remember, let's protect each other!"King Victor maybe 15 but he was bestowed with the Alpha power, the strongest among all the packs. Although there were three of them that didn't make him the weakest. He was in fact as strong as Caesar. And his abilities to create fire and to move objects using his mind were already dominant. I had met his loyal subjects before. That Draco was the one who threw Erro in the air, he couldn't look me in the eye when I stared at him. I remembered, he also had the telekinetic ability. The one standing beside him was Zenia, athletic and warrior-built. She could create flame just like me and the king. Then there was Aram, standing beside Zenia. Hamil told me he was strong. He wasn't just Kin
Victor POV.."My king, I have just talked with Ava through mind-links. She said King Caesar brought around a thousand army with him and they are on their way to the north border!" Aram, my right hand, reported while my eyes stared at the wide horizon. The green fields were empty but we were all aware that behind those hills our enemies were waiting for us."Alert Hamil! He is the one guarding the north border!" I sternly told him while my gaze was fixed on those hills. Ava was my spy under Caesar's garden. When I spoke to her through mind-links, she answered right away. "My King, their weapons and armors have wolfsbane. Be very careful!" her voice was stern and her background was quite loud. "I am marching with them!" that made sense. "You should be careful, too, Ava. They might smell you!" my orbs were white, a sign that I was speaking to someone in my thought."I will, My King!" Ava simply responded. Upon cutting off our con
Victor POV..Caesar tried to bite my neck but my fangs got a hold of his shoulder first, locking it deep and hard till I heard his howls. I took that opportunity to raise my paws and pushed his chest up so I could roll him over. As we changed positions I pinned him down to the ground with my fangs buried deep into his shoulder, my tongue tasted his blood. "You'll never win against me, Caesar!" I kept speaking to him in my thoughts."That's what you think, Victor. But you're wrong!" he uttered.His eyes sparked red exhibiting his alpha power I could say stronger than mine. As he lifted his head, I saw his pack shift their visions on us, snarling and roaring. They were communicating in their thoughts. "Prepare! They're up to something new. Something we've never seen before!" I told my pack through mind-links which they hastily obeyed as they growled back and positioned in front of us, protecting me.However, before my pack could attack, Caesar had taken
Matthew POV.."Is there any way we can solve this? Coz I really want to bet for Blue Moon Warrior tonight!" D*mn, I couldn't believe I was bargaining.They yanked their dubious stare at me, smirking at my facades from head to foot. If I would show them my fangs, would they still stare at me this way? I absolutely doubt that. They might run for their lives!"Well, the ticket cost a fortune. Do you have any means to pay for that?" they even made their voice louder. Their sardonic look was getting to my nerves.I had been standing at the entrance for quite a while and my patience had already run out. I pulled out my wristwatch and raised my hand showing them its quality. Their gazes gleamed at its gold-plated bracelet and diamond-coated crown while my eyebrow was raised as to its perfect S-shaped line."Alright, I think we can arrange a VIP slot for you!" finally, they're talking. "Hey! Come here. Guide Mr. ~" he commanded a man in a black vest, white
Matthew POV.."D*mn it! Seize her!" Senator Kelly shouted while the crowd had gotten wild.Before his bodyguards could pull the trigger, I already gripped his neck as my nails were slowly buried in his skin. His frightened sight grew wider when he saw my eyes change to a shade of red. The woman beside her seemed to swallow her tongue, she just stood there with her mouth hanging open. The crowd whistled and cheered louder. Fans from both sides scuffled over their bets. While our surroundings were going chaotic, I spoke right close to his face, "Make a move and you will be my next meal!" I didn't think twice about showing him my fangs as his men stepped back. I heard the she-wolf in the ring snarl when she faced her opponent. Then loud thumps and knocks filled in the arena as that terminator dropped unconsciously to the ground."Who...are...you?" This a*shole senator had even the nerve to ask over this uproar. Although he tried to act brave his get
Matthew POV.."Warriors from the kingdom, what are you doing in our land?" one of the rogues questioned while smirking at us."After what you've done to our pack you've got the nerves to show yourself here!" another rogue uttered."It's just them. We can take them down!""Yes, let's start with him. Let's avenge our leader, Erro!""Right! Let's avenge Erro and Riona. Let's kill them now!"Their enraged voices were shaking the ground. Their growls were vibrating in the air. Till I let out a loud growl as my wolf eyes turned to translucent blue and my alpha heir character spread in the air. They growled back didn't seem to be shaken by my warning. Ah! I forgot, they were rogues. They lived independently. They had their own rules, own systems, own beliefs. "Silence, Rogues! You have no idea who you are talking to right now!" when suddenly Zenith's roar overtook our growls as she stepped forward shielding me from them, they all halted and paid attention."You know you should act a bit ta
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
