Matthew POV..I executed my power which manipulated the chemical elements of nature: fire, water, air, and ice. I buried half of Caesar's army in the land. I saw how he peered his eyes at me, his shocked look caused some of his army to flee. "Surprised, Caesar!" I taunted in his thoughts. He didn't respond verbally but his growl was screaming loud. "I'm back!" my last three words ignited him to speak back."You're hiding your brother, Matthew. Are you scared I might slaughter him?" I could see his sneer from my spot, I could feel his fear hiding from his pathetic words."Why should I hide him? I'm more of claiming my throne!" I smirked back as I blazed fire in front of them making most of his army pull back. While the ground on our side was covered with snow, theirs still had a green lawn which easily caught fire. I could play with the element the moon goddess had gifted me. If I wanted to drown them in one snap, I could always flood them with bodies
Matthew POV..My simple wanders were disrupted when my father announced to everyone that a grand banquet would be held."Come, everyone! Tonight in honor of the moon goddess Diana who has protected us from this war, let's have a feast. Tonight, the color of our kingdom will shine upon us. In addition, let's celebrate the coming back of Prince Matthew to Blue Moon Pack!" Their cheers and whistles, howling, and the rumbling of the big drums made me nostalgic. I remembered my mom once told me, my birth opened a month feast for our kingdom. The moon goddess was so pleased with my arrival that she lit up our kingdom for 30 nights. The Blue moon shone brightly on our world for 4 weeks making the other kingdoms bear grudges. That's when they began hating our pack. "Prince Matthew, welcome back to Blue Moon Pack!" everyone greeted me, hug me warmly, and some even knelt. Everyone but... Victor and Riona.I couldn't even find them anymore. Where had they g
Riona POV..Blood was rushing through my veins. My emotions were conflicted. What's he doing to me at the moment was something I craved since the last time we had it. But I couldn't just shout that to his face.I pressed my hands on his shoulders and stared firmly at him. "I hate you!" those words suddenly escaped from my mouth while showing him my fierce look. However, my body was reacting differently. Instead of pushing him away, I lifted my bum higher and pressed it to his groin feeling more of his intense rubbing."I hate you more!" his response expressed strength in his excitement as he gnashed his teeth and hardened his jaw while his blazing orbs were fixed on me. He nailed me harder to the trunk of the tree that was far and dim from the sight of the people passing by. If he was going to fvck me here, I would pray to the moon goddess not to shine her mesmerizing rays upon us. I would never like to be the talk of the kingdom after. "You're a
Matthew POV..We had reached the stream, the crystal clear water was calm. Its serene sound cleansed the cobwebs in my thoughts. In our kingdom, my secret relationship with Riona was unacceptable and we could be punished severely. The lawmakers could strip off her title as the Chosen Maiden and she could either be put in exile or burned alive in a wolf form. Our council could only give me two choices but those options were a matter of life and death. I didn't tell her about it for I knew she would just freak out. I couldn't keep a distance from her either. I always missed her, I wanted her to be with me 24/7. Yes, that's how possessive I was. That's how greedy my wolf behavior was when it came to her. Every time I saw her with my brother Victor or with my cousin Hamil, I felt like I wanted to fight them with my fists or rip their throats out with my claws. "Matthew, where is the cliff?" she called my attention with her sweet voice and warm stroke on my fur.
Matthew POV.."Coz I was jealous. I admit I got jealous of you and Hamil being together and..." if only she had the power to read minds, it would be easier."And? I'm waiting!" she couldn't wait for at least a couple of seconds to let me organize my thoughts."I don't want you to be with another man, okay? I don't want you to be with Hamil or with my brother ~""But King Victor is going to be my ~""Don't say it! I don't wanna hear it!" we both cut each other's sentence off.Although that event was bound to happen, I still had this slight hope that something in the middle would occur. Something that could stop their wedding or their union."You don't want me to be with another man but you're not telling me why. Matthew, what are we now? What do we have now?" Goodness, her questions were getting harder and harder. I couldn't breathe anymore. Couldn't she hear my gasps? My heart was almost coming out of my chest.I yanked her closer as I caresse
Matthew POV.."Don't worry! Let me handle this!"That's the thing I could do for her at the moment. When I held her hand, she was trembling. I scented her fear, I had to wash that out. And that Sonia or Sefrim, she better had a valid justification for everything coz I was not going to give her clemency...that simple! "What will happen to us? To my parents? Are they going to punish us that much? Matthew, I'm really scared!" her voice stuttered and her body was shaking. I hugged her tight and stroked her back to calm her down. For now, I had to think of a way to settle this. I had a plan for the kingdom and it could benefit everyone. Yet, I couldn't tell them. I brushed her strands and stared deeply at her as I repeated what I told her earlier."You have to trust me. No matter what!" my palms cupped her face. I dropped soft kisses on her forehead. "Don't leave me!" I whispered in between our kisses and I saw her nod, constantly.When suddenly, my father
Victor POV.."MASTER?!" Baron exclaimed in a fit of anger which meant Matthew was telling the truth.No one in the kingdom knew that they called Matthew master in his mansion except for Riona, Hamil, Baron, and me. I had been controlling myself to explode for justice's sake. I was the youngest on the court yet I held the biggest responsibility of all. I found myself getting up from my seat and faced Matthew."Release her, brother. Let her speak!" my voice was gentle but stern."Victor, will you agree with the law your mom and the beta made that those who committed crimes would be burned alive?" he raised a question. His sneer was meaning something."Victor, stop him! He's gonna kill your cousin! Sefrim is innocent. How could she go to the human world? And why would she go there?" my mom stood from her seat and approached me.Her cold trembling hands were buried in my skin. Her frightened look was pleading for my compassion. But...I responded with a cold
Matthew POV..I couldn't get off my head Riona's expression when she was thrown away like a rug doll in the air. Especially when she fell unconsciously to the floor. For me, death was a light punishment for this w!tch. "Go ahead, Anicia! Look at her past. The kingdom needs to know who killed their former queen!" I called out for Riona's mom's attention when I saw she was hesitating. "Yes, Prince Matthew!" she sauntered to Wayna's side, knelt, and held her head when she was now in front of her. That w!tch struggled hard to escape from Anicia's tight clasp but where could she possibly go at the moment? She was stuck on that cracked floor. As Anicia focused, she shut her eyes and gnashed her teeth. Wayna began wailing. The ground shook. The Imperial chandelier on the ceiling blinked. The walls began to break.The council and the betas were petrified, they held their chairs' armrests tight while a whisper-yell escaped from their lips. "What's happening? Wha
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
