Reec pov I am sick to the depths of hell with Cicero going on and on about his precious Leonor . The mutt is nothing special , her and the little princess . I know he suspects me of helping them escape , he dont seem to believe me . If i am honest i truly don't care , my brother hasn't stopped reminding me i now owe him for getting rid of them for me while i was with his lordship so he couldn't blame me . We are now stationed to the east of the pack , this living like pescents isn't really for me but I am trying to get him to see I am by his side no matter what . The squabbling between the mutts and the undead blood suckers is going to come to a head soon . The smell of rotten , putrid rogues is giving me a headache . Not to mention the smell of death coming from the vamps . No one knows about his secret weapons , the teens are pumped and completely under his command . This time tomorrow we should be marching for the royal pack , the witches will meet us just outside the pack to he
Alpha Prince Orion pov We leave tonight , the other packs warriors and Alpha’s arrived this morning . Lex and Haggen have been getting everyone organised and assigned to their duty . Leonor , Red and Fallon have been together since breakfast , seemingly they are working on some magic shit . All I know is that I have been getting bombarded with questions from the other Alpha’s , a good old power struggle . Lets just say not all alphas like each other there ego’s are huge and some like these here Alpha’s are egotistical as they come . Pinching the bridge of my nose , i stand up “ Shut the fuck up .” I shouted hoping that I would get some kind of order . The room fell into silence , Looking around the men in the room all looked towards me with confused expressions . “ Ok , now I know not everyone gets on . I understand that some of you have personal grievances and that's fine but there are bigger things at play here . Now I am asking you sincerely please put what every bullshit you
Leonor pov As we gathered at the front of the castle Lex had just finished briefing the warriors as they were leaving first . Fallon , Lilith and myself are dressed in black tactical combat gear and stand quietly while the men organise where people are to go . I felt like a midget compared to my friends , Lil did say with my hair braided I looked like a kid . It gained her a swift punch to her upper arm . Fal was nervous but held herself well , out of the three of us she was the one who had been sheltered from any kind of chaos all her life but she was definitely a fighter . The past few weeks she had trained harder than any of us , she said she never wanted to feel helpless again and I admired her for her determination . Lil as always is her usual self not really giving a fuck , she even seems excited to get her hands on the ass holes who hurt her best friends , thats in her words . Haggen can't seem to keep his eyes off his mate , he's practically drooling . To be fair Lil loo
Cicero pov I knew they were coming , my little Leonor and that bitch of a witch think they're so smart . Well not so smart I can put a mole in places they wouldn't even imagine . I had promised the world to those who had joined the cause , stupid people , disposable people . I just need to get to her , kill the little prince and take her as mine . Her wolf will eventually submit , a stupidly loyal mutt . Talking of loyal mutts I can't seem to get a hold of Reec , probably sulking somewhere she hates my want and need for Leonor . I had just finished talking to my army of teens. It is funny how quick you can flip their loyalty with the promise of power , infants . The surge of golden energy that exploded against my shield has the dense forest lighting up . One of the rogues signalled with a howl , they were all geared up ready for the battle . The battle that most won't return from but its not exactly a loss , worthless and expendable . Everyone around me was ready as we walked to
Princess Fallon pov The moment the force field shattered and was gone , we all had our jobs to do . Lil and Haggen were going to the right towards the vampires and Lex and I headed to the left towards the teens . If Lil was right I hopefully should be able to help the teens . I won't lie, my nerves are skyrocketing and my anxiety is working overtime . Mist decided it best we shift as she was more confident , I eagerly agreed . Lex shifted to Steel and we made our way towards the side I knew they were . It sounds funny but I could feel them, I could sense them and Mist was confident and eager to get into it . Me on the other hand was petrified and wanted to hide behind Lex . Lex and Steel kept a protective eye on me as we made our way towards the teens . As we slowed I could pick them out without even trying . Mist stopped in front of the group. I noticed that there are around twenty of them all young males all unshifted , some look petrified and others look up for the fight . L
Leonor povAs my wolf took over I could see the looks from those around us as her golden coat and sheer size appeared in place of myself . Onix , Orions wolf stands proudly by Jewels' side ready to unleash hell upon anyone in our way . Leaping forward we locked onto our target , before we left it was decided Orion and myself would take Cicero and Reec on . Lil and Haggen would take down the vampires and Fal and Lex rescue the teens . Our warriors are battling both Fae and rogues , it was chaos . My shield stayed firmly around Onix and Jewel stopping anyone using magic on us . The witches were doing their best to keep our warriors protected . Lil looks like she's having the time of her life , giving Rusty a pat every now and then but always with a smile . Fal has shifted back to herself and Lex has one of the teens pinned to the ground . Working together as a team we barrel towards Cicero striking down anything in our way . Without even a word between us we moved and worked like a
Alpha Prince Orion pov Looking around the clearing something feels off as if this was too easy . Don't get me wrong I am pleased that everyone who needed captured is captured especially Cicero and Reec , my sister also managed to get the teens to safety . As soon as Red and Haggen step through the portal I start to send orders to my warriors about what they are to do and get cleared up and back to the pack . As I turned back to talk to Leonor she looked so pale then passed out I only managed to catch her before she hit the ground . The panic that ran through me was almost too much until Onix spoke ‘It will be our pups’ . My heart starts to race and I am rendered speechless as Fallon rushes to my side and drops to her knees `` Orion , what's wrong ? Is she ok ?” I peel my eyes off my mate as the words of my wolf sink into me . Pups , we are with pup , oh my goddess we need to get back to the pack , I need to get her checked . Standing up I didn't even answer my sister. I just made
Lilith pov Leaving the hospital was hard. Len is my best friend , I am sure she is fine but it still worries me . Poor Orion looks like shit but it's understandable if it was Haggen I would be unconsolable . We have so much work to do , the dungeon is full of prisoner’s . The teens are being held in secure rooms . That prick Cicero is in one of the magic cells that I reinforced beforehand . There is no fucking way he is getting out of here alive . Fallon is walking a path on my study floor , I have no idea why and knowing her she will tell me when she is ready . The guys have been sorting out the Alphas and their warriors , with Orion looking after Len they must step up . Eight witches were captured; they are also in magic cuffs in a magic cell so they can’t use their magic . At the moment I am looking through the information I have on the prisoners, especially the witches as it's up to me to go through all this . I love Fallon but what the actual fuck shes driving me crazy .“Fal
Lilith pov SItting looking at the body of Sasha I can feel the rage starting to build within me . This was a declaration of war . If someone's want for power is so great it has them taking innocent lives . Sasha was eighteen, she had only just started her training. She had lost her mother to cancer a few years ago. She lived in one of the rooms in the common house. She was a pleasant young girl, always happy to help. Yet as I stare at the haunted expression, the fear on her face. I feel like I have failed her, not only her but all these women. They look to me for guidance but seriously i have no fucking idea what to do, how to go forward. I can feel Haggens anger coming down the mate bond not only anger but fear for me. He is here for me and I know he needs to go back soon but his duty to the pack and his love for me is tearing him in two. The darker side of me is sitting just under the surface wanting to rip this whole world apart. I know I can't, I know I have a duty of care to
Zara povThat little bitch wants to think she can look down on me , she has no idea of my power . Who does she think she is ? and my darling sister just allows her to talk to me as she wants. Well, they have no idea what I am capable of and who I know . Leaving her office with Telia on my heels, I was so furious I didn't see the girl walking towards me with a basket full of what looked like herbs until we collided . “Watch what you are doing you stupid girl” I growled at her as she landed on the ground . “Sorry I was on my way to see the priestess,” she stutters . The Priestess , the fucking Priestess is this what she has been asked to be called . I do not think so. I think to myself as the girl gathers the content of the basket that had spilled out over . As I watch her scrambling around picking it up from the ground my temper spikes and I step on the girl's hand . As I step harder I hear the bones break as she squeals , Telia looks around with wide eyes. “Mama , what if someon
Lilith pov I hardly slept. The spirits are not happy and unfortunately since i took the job it's me they let know of their displeased moods . The minute I took the position I was bound by their rules , except only those who have been or are a high priestess will know we are forbidden to talk about our bounds and the rules we are bound by . This is something Zara will never understand , the powers I now hold are vast and extremely draining on your own reserve . Telia isn't strong enough and there is too much darkness in Zara for her to be given the responsibility , the spirits would never allow it . I have been trying to work through some paperwork to do with one of the other covens when my office door was opened and in waltzed Zara and Telia. “Ah Lilith , you are here” Zara says as she makes herself at home in my office . “Yes I am here in my own office” I say back dripping it in sarcasm . “Now now little LIl remember your manners when talking to someone older” She says, narrowi
Lilith pov My patience is wearing thin with this bitch , being now bound by the laws of our goddess means I can't just get rid of her . Sometimes I wonder what the point is in dealing with this shit , no wonder my Grandma looked exhausted when I was a child . What no one understands is the laws I need to uphold and stand by . It's not quite as easy as just taking the title like most think it is , I am bound and that alone is tiring . Haggens anger at her outbreak of threats and he is justified in so but honestly i just want to sleep and get lost in my mate . Standing from the table I thank Almara for my soup , give her a kiss on the cheek and go to my Grandma “I am going to have a nap , i am exhausted” She cups my cheek in her warm hand , looking at me with her green eyes much the same as mine . There are a lot of emotions floating in her eyes , the strongest being concern . I know she feels guilty for bringing Zara and Telia's wrath upon me . I place my hand over hers enjoying
Lilith pov A week is never enough but at least Haggen will be with me for a week or so . I can feel myself dragging my feet as we pack the car to leave saying goodbye was harder this time now the twins have arrived . I wish to spend some time with Len and Fallon , sometimes a girl just needs her sisters . Unfortunately last night I had a call from Almara to let me know that Zara and Telia had been openly trying to recruit supporters from my own coven as soon as I left . That means they must have been informed I had left , so that is a whole other issue . I am already fed up with my position. I would quite happily give it up but my Grandma has had her heart set on me guiding the covens into a united front . As our car leaves the packlands my heart hardens as I need to get myself back into the role I hate the most . “Hey baby , are you ok ?” Haggen asks as he leans over and squeezes my leg . Drawing me out my thoughts , taking a big sigh, I turn to him . “I have a bad feeling a
Lilith pov I hate that I had to leave again , especially since Len is pregnant but I need to work through the shit with the covens . The backlash since I became high priestess has gotten worse , in fact there is talk of them turning against me . If it was just me I wouldn't care but I have Haggen and the pack to worry about . Four covens I oversee , each coven has their own set of rules but they also have the rules of the higher power . I already know who is leading the unease against me , she feels she should have been given the position of high priestess instead of me . The truth is my Grandma has been training me for this since I was a child . She always said my powers were greater as a child than even hers . My mother passed away when I was child and I never knew my father. Grandma always said he was worthless and never deserved me . Being brought up by the most powerful witch in our region was something most witches would love . Our coven is the northern coven where I gr
[Epilogue part 2] 9 years later Alpha Prince Saint pov My head is banging as I sit and listen to my father lecture me on drinking too much . He wouldn’t understand even if I tried to explain to him , my parents' relationship is the strongest I have ever seen . Rubbing my temple , I have been drowning out his consistent talking until her name was mentioned . Bellatrix , the only female i have ever loved , but i fucked it up . Six months ago I broke her heart and every day I have hated myself for it . I can't remember how or why it happened , I have never ever looked at another female ever . For some reason I ended up so drunk I can't even remember getting back to the packhouse, never mind the female who was lying naked next to me . Six months I have tried to piece together that night but the only thing that ever is there is the look on Bellatrix’s face the morning she stood in the doorway to my room with coffee in hand like she did every other morning . The look on her beauti
[EPILOGUE PART 1] King Orion pov 10 years later It’s the annual summer festival and we always have a family picnic with our ever growing families . The twins are now eleven and we also have a five year old son who is honestly a riot , Belenus never stops .

Leonor pov We are all waiting outside the delivery room for the birth of the future Gamma to happen , it's been almost two hours . I have never seen Lex looking so stressed out, poor guy . I have just finished checking on the twins when the first screeches of a new life entering this world reach our ears . Lex bursts through the door looking rather dishevelled and flushed “ It’s a boy , we have a son .” We all cheer before he goes back in the room to his mate and son . I feel Orion’s big strong arms wrap around me from behind , he kisses my temple . “ Well, it looks like Saint now has his Gamma .” Orion says with a proud look on his face . After another half hour we are allowed in to visit Fallon and her new baby son . Fallon as always is sitting up looking like she hasn't just given birth , the look of pure love on her face as she gazes at her new pup . Lex is sitting beside her , a protective arm around his little family . What was the best part was seeing Lilith being trul
