Victor POV PAK! A tight slap broke in the air as the back of my mother's bodyguard's hand collided with the middle-aged woman's face. The high priest told me that the lady who was going to bear my seed looked like this woman. I couldn't help but feel the urge to punish him. However, Queen Luna's roar brought me back to reality. A reality that I was an Alpha King living under my mother's and the elder council's command, including the beta. I was called the ruthless, abusive, horrible Alpha King in the kingdom but hidden to my pack, I was a spineless wolf carrying the title King with no power. "Where is your daughter?" my mother's loud roar broke the raucous silence in the dungeon where this woman was tied in shackles, both hands were raised apart and her feet in almost splitting position making the muscles of her limbs quiver in both extreme pain and exhaustion. "I don't know!" the woman whimpered. Her aura voiced suffering but I had never seen her shed tears since they were brought
Matthew POV I rubbed my eyes as I reviewed the documents one more time. I called Nick, my assistant in my company, the Prince Monarch, to bring the unsigned contract for our coming project. My business was all about building hotels, department stores, and amusement parks. I also ventured into a new enterprise last year and it skyrocketed in a swift time. That's my Prince Monarch Airlines. I took my phone to the mahogany table and called his number. With my tired eyes and drained voice, I spoke to him as I kept rubbing my temples with my fingers, "Nick! Get the documents back to my mansion and revise the corrections I made!" "Yes, President. I'm going there now!" with a discreet sigh that my senses heard, Nick responded. He had to drive for an hour back and forth just to get these pieces of junk. I intended to work at home today for two reasons. First, my head was still exploding in pain, and second, I had to see my Uncle Baron in the basement later in the day. I hope he's doing well
Riona POV Whew! After finishing my tasks for the afternoon, finally, I could take some rest. Before I planned to go back to my room, I checked everything first, I must have missed something. My feet sauntered to the kitchen to see if the dishes were done. "Doing the dishes, done!" I mumbled while my fingers touched every plate and bowl elegantly arranged in rows. My eyes scanned the whole kitchen from left to right as my head went up and down approving my statement. As I continued, my senses were giving me hints to turn left, the aisle was a bit narrow and there were single lamps mounted on the wall. I leaned my head sideward and peeped through the dim path. It was in the middle of the afternoon but in that area, it looked like the sun already rested. "Friya, what's in this way?" I asked my wolf who had been sluggish since this morning. Was it feeling comfortable staying in a big house? I couldn't imagine! As my legs tiptoed forward, my heart began to throb. I could compare myself to
Riona POV ..While changing the covers of our Master's bed, my mind was flying back to the scene I saw yesterday. I couldn't help but ask what happened to the woman. What's her name? Where's she now? Why didn't she come back? A series of questions were shooting like arrows in the air muddling my brain. Was this their way of living here in the human world? I couldn't get it. My parents were a loving couple and they had been together for more than two decades now. But him? Was the woman his “mate”? I was annoyed by my own question. "Mate! What nonsense are you talking about?" I scolded myself. I opened the closet where the pillow covers were folded and took out two big light pink ones, a color I loved since I was a kid. I also saw a duvet that seemed to be a set with a cover and a bedspread. "Perfect!" my lips let out a radiant smile as I fixed the bed. Then I glanced at the drapes Sonia told me to change. I cringed at the dark shade that covered the bright hue coming from the sun. M
Riona POV .. I spread my arms feeling the comfort of this soft bed while the corner of my lips curled up. I moaned as my eyes opened and saw a familiar chandelier that once gazed at my sight. My back suddenly felt the heat that I briskly got up. "Oh shoot!" I hit my forehead punishing myself for being so comfy in this world. Although it's ironic, I was treated like a princess in our simple home but was forced to work in the field. Here I was branded as a slave but acting more like a queen. My eyes shot glances at the drapes I was about to hang before I fell but were already waving like water by the gust of the wind coming from the open window. "Who did that?" my lips uttered as my gaze narrowed but also went wide when the chime of the grandfather clock mounted on the wall struck 6. "Goodness! I slept that much!" my feet rummaged my slippers on the carpeted floor while my mind was picturing what to prepare for dinner or perhaps a snack?! I knew my master was going to kill me for a h
Riona POV .."Shift!" I whispered in his ear and it fluttered. I could feel he's tensed like his heart missed a heartbeat. I wanted him to shift to see how handsome he could be. I yanked my nose to his bluish eyes and raised my paw to his head. He could hear my whimper of begging, he could see my bluish-green orbs blurring, there was no way he couldn't feel my desire. Till I had enough and growled at him. I saw he was startled a bit. I could have missed it if I wasn't attentively staring at him. But it was just a swift, he turned to his usual sitting statue posture looking stvpid. He looked mighty divine to me but how come he was acting completely imbecile? I brushed off that unfair judgment when I saw his eyes move. Maybe he was just stunned or shocked. Who would have thought that he could meet his 'mate' in the human world? I purred as I tried to eliminate his awkwardness and just made him feel we were destined. My nose continued running down the slope of his neck affectionately
Riona POV"Slave! Come down here. Now!"My drop-dead-gorgeous annoying master who was shirtless in the middle of autumn roared my dear new name out loud making me grimace while changing my clothes. Whoever left this shirt in the forest, must be tall, had a good physique, and a good soul, too.I also would like to respond to his irksome scream but my parents taught me to be graceful in speaking. I chose a one-piece light blue casual house dress that was hanging in the closet and hid the navy shirt underneath the mattress before I went downstairs and responded to his calling."Yes, master!" I was told not to ask so my tone was flat but my still sleepy eyes were asking. My hands clenched the hem of my dress tight while my lips were twitching, I could feel my nerves shaking in the presence of this shirtless human being. D*mn those abs and tickling hairy chest, why couldn't he just cover them? He was gripping a shirt for Pete's sake!"
Riona POV This was going to be my first outing and I had never been this thrilled that it took me an hour to choose which outfit to wear. Till my hands pulled out a simple baby pink shirt and mid-thigh denim shorts. In our world, I used to wear loose outfits and pants. My mother always wanted me to cover my whole body, no exposure of skin not even a tiny inch. Except for my hands and my feet plus my neck up to my face, that's the only flesh my neighbors could see. Even during summer when the scorching heat of the sun fried my skin, at first, I was sweating all over but as time had passed by my body had gotten used to it.I tied my silky long wine hair to a ponytail glancing at my reflection in the mirror. I didn't know what impression was I going to make this time. For me, the girl in front of me was simply different from the girl who had been in the paranormal world for 20 years. I looked exceptionally divergent. A loud step outside my door and a stern voice
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
