Zira’s POV Somehow, I don’t know how, but I see the light of magic as it bursts out from one of the women and rush towards Antoine. My body acted before my thoughts, and I lunged forward and push Antoine to the floor. I wondered if everyone else in the room saw as the spell bounced on the wall instead while Antoine and I fell to the floor. “I have always known that we were meant to be,” Antoine said as his hands around me tightened. Somehow, before we had landed on the floor, he had twisted us in the air so that he landed on the floor while I landed on him. While I was grateful that he didn’t let my body crush under his weight, I felt just as uncomfortable with his arms around me. My mind caught up with my brain and I pushed my body upwards. Antoine tried to pull me down but Ronan was even faster. “Thank you, brother,” he drawled out, and I didn’t miss the emphasis he had placed on the brother. “You brought witches into Eliza. Along with your tainted daughter.” “Fred, d
Zira's POV Alpha Fred had given up the two witches in exchange for his daughter. I wasn’t surprised. Anyone in power would have done the same. “Valden has several people and races. While those two might not belong to any large witch clan, Fred is still going to have to clean up the mess. After all, he had been the one to take them with him,” Ronan explained as we walked back to our quarters. This meant that after forking out everything that Ronan had requested for, he was going to still face the witches back in Valden. I couldn’t help but feel a chill in my spine at how thorough Ronan was. As soon as we got back to our quarters, Antoine that had been walking behind us the whole time finally spoke up. “Alicia is not hybrid, she only has someone cast a soul-invading spell on her. The whole time that she was here, her soul was being controlled by the soul of a witch while her will was the only thing left,” Ronan and I turned back at the same time. “And how do you know this?”
Keith’s POV “You are back early,” Lucan said slouched on Antoine's seat. Oftentimes, it was easy to forget that he was indeed older than the three of us. Especially since his mind and methods were indeed slower than the three of us. But I knew from the death glare that Antoine was shooting at him that he wanted him out of his seat. “Is it supposed to take a century?” He snapped at him and I held back the urge to laugh out. “Chill out man, I thought it was going to be a lot of bargaining for who….” “What happened,” I interrupted, knowing fully well that listening to Lucan was making Antoine even angrier. Not like he didn’t seem angry when he entered already. “Nothing much, he brought two witches and one guard with him…” Antoine gave a brief summary of what had gone down and I furrowed my brows. “I thought the plan was you going there to be the intermediary and let Alpha Fred think well of you?” As the largest pack in Valden, we didn’t have anything to lose by having him
Ronan’s POV Zira ended up falling asleep in my arms and I could feel how much strength my wolf was gaining just from how close she was. We had gone a while without being intimate but with everything going on and how much I just wanted to remind myself that she was fine, the mood hadn’t felt right all this time. “Ronan, Martha is awake,” Miles informed me using the mind link. Zira wanted to see Martha even more than I needed to even though it was for different reasons. But I also couldn’t bear to wake her up when she was sleeping so soundly. Careful to not wake her, I carried her to the bed and laid her down. I waited to see if she would wake up but there was no stir from her. “My darling,” I whispered before stepping out of the room. My wolf whimpered from the distance I had put between us and I soothed him. After what happened to Zira and not being able to link with her wolf, he had gotten quite needy and I could understand how it was feeling. I was struggling too an
Ronan’s POV The mere thought of it had me filled with the desire to call everyone out and do some soul-searching. My wolf’s abilities weren’t strong enough to do that yet. “Who could it be?” Miles murmured and I could tell he was doing some mind-searching. “It’s impossible to tell, we either create situations to lure the person out or we keep looking,” We had gotten back to my study where I was certain that no one could hear us. The mere thought of there being someone with magic like Martha in the palace was disturbing but we also couldn’t act rashly. “With four of us on the lookout, we would know soon. But one thing is certain, either Lucan or Antoine knew who it was,” Keith seemed to have plans that existed out of their plans and somehow, I felt my third brother was the type to shy away from things like this. Antoine had no right to the throne. Not by blood or by the strength of his wolf. A part of me felt like if he started his own pack maybe outside of this kingdom
Zira’s POV I wanted him way too much and I could feel the satisfaction that slipped through my wolf the moment I take him in. He feels even larger than I remembered him. Was that possible? It had to be with how I was struggling to even take the tip of his cock in. But there was nothing I couldn’t do, and so soon enough, with the help of my hands, I’m sucking down on his cock, relaxing my throat until my lips seal completely around him. I'm vaguely aware of Ronan cursing softly as I take him even further, but l'm too focused on my task now, on making him feel as good as possible. This was for both of us. I wanted to make him feel good. To remind me of how being together felt and at the same time, I felt better too. My mouth is not enough to wrap around his full length, but with my hand joining me, one covering the remaining part of his length, my mouth bobbing up and down on him, I can see Ronan’s control about to fly out. “Fuck, Zira.” He cursed out and I grin against his
Zira’s POV When I woke up the next day, my body is sore and aching from everything I had done with Ronan. But there was this satisfaction deep in my bones that was making up for it. I frown subtly when I realized the space behind me is empty and cold. “Ronan?” I call through the mind link. I sigh in relief as I realise that he was close by. “I’m here,” I don’t know if it’s in my head or if he says it loud because the next minute, the door to our room opens and Ronan is right beside me. “The full moon is today, I had to make some preparations with Miles,” Ronan explained and I nodded in understanding. Even before Alicia’s attack, I had always preferred the feeling of waking up in his arms. It was more intense now but he was here now and that was all that mattered. Ronan pulled the covers away from my body and parted my legs. Despite how close we are and everything we have done together, I still blush and look at him with questions in my eyes. “I’m just rubbing this oint
Zira’s POV As much as I didn’t want him to leave, Ronan had morning court and I had so many things to catch up with. Laura, Sophie and Julia are standing outside when I come out of my room, fully dressed without their assistance. “Your Majesty,” the three of them echoed at the same time with their bows. “We didn’t know you were ready to dress up,” Laura said as she hung her head down. It was improper for them to come in while Ronan was still in the room. “It’s okay, I didn’t want you guys to help me today,” Julia and Sophie relax and smile freely, “your hair is so beautiful, I wouldn’t have imagined that you could style it even better than us,” Julia commented and I smiled, delighted that she praised Ronan’s work. “Ronan styled it for me,” I can see the shock in the three of them eyes and then the worry in Laura’s eyes. I can read her like a book now so I console her. “It was our way of bonding, you don’t have to beat yourself up about it, Laura.” Being in the human wor
RONAN’s POV"Zira ...I have said this before but I am so madly in love with you that sometimes, I just don't know what to do at all. I don't want to lose you. I want...I want to spend the rest of my life with you!" I told her. Zira smiled. She teared up a little but then laughed and shook her head. "I. I love you too, Ronan, more than you can ever imagine. I love you so much."My heart swelled. I had never felt this happy in my entire life. "You've just made me the happiest man in this life."Zira laughed, then leaned closer to me, staring at me straight in the eye and then at my lips. "Do you want a kid?" She asked with a sensual whisper.I smiled, but I was stunned by her words. "What?""A boy or a girl?" Zira whispered, biting down her lower lips as I tightened my grip on her waist."Both?" I asked, raising a brow."You sure?" Zira asked."Four?" I asked with wide eyes, and Zira burst into laughter."Are you being serious right now?" She asked."Well, you asked first, so yes," I
RONAN’s POVI ignored him and turned to Keith. "As for you, Keith, you are banished to Alva. You are never to leave there for the rest of your life, and if you do, I will kill you!". I said to Keith. Keith sneered at me. "Don't think that you won because you are the strongest Ronan! You only won because you hated our father and didn't let him affect your life!"Keith sneered at me."Yes! It's only because you stayed away from him! Otherwise, you would have ended up like this! You are no different from us!" Lucan told me. I shook my head at their reasoning. "You are right. I hated our father. And wanted nothing to do with him. But you see, I am not here just because I stayed away from me. I am here because I strived hard not to be like him. I hated that man and wanted nothing to do with him, and I made sure to make changes in my life. The rest of you just decided to take the wrong path! You deserve this!" I said.....It took me the entire day to deal with all of the remaining issues
RONAN’s POVI walked over to Miles, preparing to fight with him. I hated it when he said that I was not fit to be the Alpha and I wanted to prove to him and everyone else that it was a lie. "You don't have to do this, Ronan! He is just trying to rile you up on purpose! Don't fall for his trap! Miles already lost, but he doesn't want to admit that he has lost!" Zira called out to me. I knew that this could be a trap, but I am past the stage of caring at this point. I need to put him in his place. It was a long and hard fight between the both of us, and at some point, I thought that I was going to lose, but then I managed to knock Miles out. He tried to get him, but I pinned him to the ground, breaking one of his legs and then ending the fight with me as the winner. Miles glared hatefully at me, probably because he knew that he had lost. I am now the winner, and there is just nothing that he can do about that. I leaned in closer to him and whispered, "Do you now believe that I am
ZIRA’s POVMiles glared at Ronan, and I could tell that he was shocked and upset to see that Ronan was back. I was feeling a whole lot of emotions watching Ronan. I wanted to jump into his arms and hug him, I wanted to yell to everyone that doubted me that I wasn't wrong. I said that he was alive, and he really did come back alive. But I did not have the time to do any of this. Right now, there's a war in front of us. A war that we were starting to lose.A guard tried to attack me from behind, but I immediately turned and kicked him away from me. There were tears in my eyes as I fought out with the guard. I was happy and sad at the same time, and the tears just kept flowing. "Ronan, you should have just died! Everything was going perfectly fine! We had a good thing going on! Why did you have to come back?!" Miles yelled at Ronan. Ronan smirked as he approached him. "A good thing? Miles, you are just a thief who wants what doesn't belong to you. You were never supposed to sit on th
ZIRA’s POVMartha shook her head. "I didn't see it myself because I was too scared of going in," she said. "I think that we should give it a try, Kyle. We can never know," Peter said. Kyle sighed. "Fine. We are going to check. I just hope that it's there" Kyle said and the both of them left together."I just hope that they find it. We will be able to defeat Miles then," I said. Mom glared at me. "Can't you just leave this alone? Do you have to go this far?" She asked me. I nodded my head. "I have to go this far, Mom. I just can't ignore it. I can't ignore what he's done! He's controlling the Entire Kingdom! Everything in this Kingdom will be destroyed in just two years if we don't stop Miles now!" I said. I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself. "Mom, I trust that Kyle and Peter are going to find the spell. The spell is going to be broken soon, and there's going to be a war. I am not going to walk away from it. I just need to know if the both of you are going to help me!" I
ZIRA’s POVA spell that made it impossible for everyone to either shift or use their abilities! I laughed to myself. If Miles thought that this was going to stop me, then he had better think again. The good thing was, I knew this spell, and I knew how to break it. But first, I have to find my cousins and tell them about it. They need to know what is going on! .....I entered Maria's room and saw my mom pacing around the room. She glared at me as soon as I walked in. "I almost thought that you weren't going to come back! Why can't you just listen to me? No matter what I tell you, you have already told yourself that you're not going to listen no matter what! What is wrong with you?" She asked me. I wasn't in the mood to listen to her scoldings. "Do you know where Kyle and Peter are right now? I need to tell them something!" I said. I haven't seen him since they said they were going to take care of Antoine on their own. "Are you even listening to me? Miles could find you, and then
ZIRA’s POV"I am tired of falling about this Maria. I am not going to leave, and that's it!" I said. I was upset listening to her talk, so I walked out of the room. "Where do you think you're going, Zira? What did I tell you about staying away from Miles? Don't you listen to anything that I say at all?" She asked me. I pretended not to hear anything that she said and walked out. I know that I will have to see Miles and confront him myself at some point. I just can't keep running away from it. I have to face it. .....I was standing facing the palace's garden when I felt someone walking up to me. My heart was beating fast against my chest. I already knew who it was without turning back. It was as if I was waiting for this moment. "Who are you?" He asked. I turned to face Miles with a big smile on my face. "Are you surprised to see me?" I asked him. If my mom or Maria could see me right now, they are going to say that I am looking for death, but I know that I just can't ignore
ZIRA’s POVI turned to face my mom and frowned. No matter what they tell me, I am not going to believe that Ronan is dead. I know that he's not dead because I can still feel the mate bond between us. If I could not feel the pull, then I'd accept that he is indeed dead, but as for now, I can still feel as if he's alive, so there's no way that I am going to accept what they are telling me. "Are you even listening to me right now?! Zira! You have to leave! Miles is the one in charge now! He's not going to let you leave if he finds out that you are still alive! Are you sure that you want to take that chance?" My mother asked me. "Mom, I already told you. I am not going to leave. I have to at least wait for the full moon festival," I said. "Why do you have to wait for the full moon festival....don't tell me that you think he is still alive?! Zira! You need to stop being delusional! He's no longer alive! They killed him! Ronan is not coming back! I know that this is a lot for you to tak
ZIRA’s POVWe walked back into the city to realise that everything had changed. Antoine and his guards were still in my cousin's custody. My mother and I decided to go back to the palace to find out what had happened while we were away. Immediately we entered the palace, we went to look for Martha. She huffed me immediately when she saw me. "Zira! I thought I had lost you! I thought that I would never see you again! Thank you so much for coming back! Thank you!" She said to me, I hugged her back because I was happy to see her. "I thought that Antoine had won, but my mother and cousins showed up. I am just happy to be back!" I said excitedly. "I am just happy that you came back! The Kingdom...the Kingdom is not what it was when Ronan was alive. Everything.... everything has changed!" Martha said. "What has changed? I could feel as if the Kingdom was in trouble when I walked in. Everything was just quiet!" I said. Martha nodded her head. "Yes.. that is because it has changed. M
