“Hello.” Lily’s voice pierced the silence, sending a ripple of intense emotion through Archer. Of course this beautiful creature would have an angelic voice to match, he thought.“Am I dead? Are you an angel?” Archer whispered, still disoriented.Lily blushed, her cheeks tinged with a soft pink. “You’re not dead, thank the goddess.”“What’s your name?” Archer asked, wincing as he tried to sit up.Lily hurried to assist him, her hand brushing against his arm. The moment their skin touched, Archer felt a jolt of electricity surge through his body. The sensation was overwhelming, unlike anything he had ever experienced. Lily, who had felt this electric connection many times while tending to him, found herself once again captivated by the powerful current now that he was conscious. Lily had been finding every excuse to touch him, and this particular contact sent a stronger, more intoxicating wave of energy through them both.Lily stared at Archer, her hand still lingering on his arm. Whe
In the past three days, Amani had made it her mission to visit every active town within Bloodmoon. Under Darius’s leadership, he ensured that the residents were living in close proximity to one another to maximize safety and support. Despite the vast expanse of Bloodmoon's territory and the desolation of many towns and cities, every border was vigilantly patrolled, ensuring security around the clock.In addition to this, Darius took the initiative to establish an orphanage near the pack hospital in the capital city. This remarkable endeavor became one of Amani's most cherished achievements since the devastating attack on Bloodmoon. Despite the heart-wrenching circumstances of these children losing their parents, they appeared to be content and joyful. They were well-nourished, engaged in various enjoyable activities, and provided with a proper education. Furthermore, the female elders of the pack showered them with abundant love and affection, creating a nurturing and caring environm
Amani dismounted her horse just in time, her patrol guards already on the verge of shifting and clashing with the Blackclaw guards.“Yield!” Amani commanded.Instantly, her patrol guards obeyed, halting their aggressive stances. With a resolute stride, Amani approached Marquis, the guard in charge.“I believe it’s me you came here for,” she said calmly.Marquis blinked several times, his expression one of sheer disbelief. He recognized her; he was the one who had taken her to Lord Adam’s on the day of her rejection. Yet, he still couldn’t believe his eyes.“And who the hell are you?!” Shouted an unfamiliar guard, his tone dripping with hostility.“I’m the one that killed your Beta, of course,” Amani declared, a hint of sass in her voice.Some of the guards laughed, finding the idea of a five-foot-five she-wolf being responsible for the massacre at the eastern bluff absurd. However, those who knew Amani stood astounded. Marquis inched closer, sniffing the air around her.“But… how…?” M
The next morning when they arrived at the palace. The three of them were jolted awake by Marquis’ voice, commanding the guards to open the gates. As they approached, Amani was suddenly entranced by the most enticing scent. She inhaled deeply, her eyes closing as she savored the aroma.“Do you smell that?” She asked, her senses captivated by the fragrance in the air. It called to her like nothing she had ever experienced before—familiar yet foreign, comforting yet invigorating.Darius and Archer exchanged a knowing glance, aware of exactly what Amani was referring to. The wagon came to an abrupt halt, and the guards swung the door open, roughly pulling them out.“Hey, take it easy!” Archer snapped in frustration.One by one, they were led into the palace, each flanked by two guards. Marquis and another guard led the procession with Amani positioned between them, her hands shackled behind her back as they directed her towards the Royal Court.As they neared their destination, Amani foun
“Your Majesty! I am here to stand as a witness to the events that transpired on the Eastern Bluff,” Archer declared.“Archer?!” Malakai called out, his face lighting up with undeniable relief.“You’re here to stand witness? Or to stand as a traitor to the Royal Kingdom by defending this murderer?!” King Zander roared.“Amani is not a murderer!” Archer countered fiercely. “I assure you, Your Majesty, she acted in self-defense. Jax and his cronies were going to kill us!”The crowd erupted in a horrified gasp at Archer’s revelation about the late Beta, whom they all knew to be the young Beta’s father.“Preposterous!” King Zander spat, his face twisted with rage.“Let them speak, Father!” Malakai demanded.The King shot a glare at Malakai, who met his father’s gaze with a look of defiance.“Go on, Archer,” Malakai urged, his eyes still locked onto the King’s.Archer took a deep breath as he prepared himself to recount the traumatic events of that unforgettable night. “Thank you,” he said,
The Royal Council conferred briefly, their nods and shrugs signaling unanimous agreement. “With the substantial evidence presented, we motion that Lady Constantine be acquitted of all charges on the grounds of self-defense in protecting both Archer Weston and herself. Unless you, Your Majesty, have any objections?” The Prime Alpha announced. King Zander glared at Amani from his throne, and she met his gaze with a defiant look that dared him to contest her innocence. To her surprise, he had no objections. “She shall hereby be dismissed then,” the King responded, his tone begrudging. A thunderous applause erupted from the omegas watching from the higher levels. Amani looked up at them, her heart swelling with gratitude and love. They weren’t there for the spectacle like the rest of the crowd—they were there to support her. “Your Majesty, what shall be the fate of this man?” A guard stepped forward, pushing Darius ahead. “He is a rogue who illegally stepped onto our territory.” “It
Amani had expected to persuade only a few omegas, but she was astonished when every single one of them so readily placed their trust in her, prepared to abandon the only life they had ever known. “You’ve lost your damn mind if you think you’re leaving here with my slaves!” King Zander roared, his rage echoing through the court. “They are still members of your pack,” Amani argued, “and they have just as much right to leave with me as anyone else.” “Alpha Amani is correct, Your Majesty,” the Prime Alpha intervened calmly. “The omegas are still legally recognized as members of Blackclaw.” “I don’t care what the law says!” King Zander thundered. “They are my slaves, and they are not going anywhere!” “You cannot deny them!” Amani shot back. “Not even you are above the law!” “I AM THE ALPHA KING! I AM THE LAW!” King Zander’s boom thundered through the hall, resonating with primal authority. Like a tidal wave, the force of his boom swept over the room, compelling every Lycan to their k
It was just another quiet day on the eastern borders of Bloodmoon. Andrew stood guard with the rest of the border patrol, anticipating the arrival of his Alpha and father. Suddenly, the distant rumble of a stampede reached their ears, and they immediately took a defensive stance. But as the figures came into view, their tension transformed into pure and utter elation. There was their Alpha, flanked by two Betas, leading a triumphant procession of wolves.Amani howled as she approached, her voice resonating with power and victory. The patrol echoed her call in their natural forms, their hearts swelling with exultation. Her triumphant return sent ripples of excitement through Bloodmoon. Many shifted into their wolves, joining the procession in celebration. Amani’s howl reverberated throughout the occupied areas of Bloodmoon, and the air was filled with cries and cheers honoring their glorious Alpha.After Amani and Darius settled their newest members, they gathered inside her manor with
