ZIRA'S POVThe silence that breached the pack was hard for me to take in. It's been a week since I've supposedly lost my husband and been made a widow. I didn't even know what to do right now. It seemed as if everyone had forgotten about him and just moved on.It hurt me to know that this is just how heartless people can be. I remembered clearly when Ronan would sacrifice everything that he had just for the sake of the pack, but rather, they were ready to forget about it in the blink of an eye.No one talked about his death anymore, rather, they were all talking about who will succeed his throne. I remembered the words of the old man a week ago, I would never let anyone take the position of my husband.They might claim that he's dead, but you strongly believe that he's out there somewhere and would most definitely come back to me. There's no way he's dead, he can't just die like that.I got off my bed and sluggishly walked off to open the curtains. The sun rays that breached through t
ZIRA'S POVI was still unable to break down what just happened and what those monsters were planning to do. They wanted to take away just what he had built for so long. I felt so weak for actually giving in to their demand, but I had no choice because it was as though they impacted it on me.I didn't even feel like doing any right now. I've never been so very disappointed in my entire life. I thought that these people would back me up rather, they were all against me.It hurts, but I just had to let go of it. I was about to sleep. It was very late, and sleeping was the only way to help soothe me of my troubles. Sleeping was the only way that I could escape reality.I was about to lay on my bed when suddenly I heard a gunshot. I immediately got down from my bed and went to look out the window to find out what the ruckus was all about.I checked the window side, but it was all too dark for me to see a shadow. It was so late at night, yet the palace was under attack. I decided to brace m
KEITH'S POVThe thought of killing two birds with one stone satisfied me. I would finally get the throne and then have the woman of my dreams. I'm sure that she's just being adamant, but with time, she would end up giving in to me.I stared at the stamp that was in front of me. I looked over at Zira, who looked hesitant to stamp it. I've always known that she was the stubborn type, but I never thought she was this stubborn." Are you going to do it, or should I make you?" I threatened.She looked up at me with so much hatred in her eyes, but I didn't care because I knew that she was still grieving the death of her husband that's why she's being so sensitive…" If you don't stamp that now, then say goodbye to your two friends, I have their location. It was so easy to capture the queen just imagine how simple it would be to kill them."She tried to blink back her tears, and with teary eyes, she finally picked up the stamp and stamped it. " Took you long enough," I snapped and collected
ZIRA'S POVI thought about how easily I succumbed to him. I shouldn't have signed it, but I had no choice, he made it difficult for me to have a choice, and now I'm seated here filled with regret.I didn't even know what to do. I was already tired of crying because I'd learned the hard way that crying doesn't solve anything rather, it drains one.I was so tired of being optimistic about the entire situation. I wanted to cry out so bad, there was no use in trying after all. I've initially lost it after this, I've given the throne out to Keith.It's all my fault; I should have been alert and always on guard. It's my punishment for choosing to be mean to my people rather than fighting with them. I chose to believe that I was the queen, and he had to guarantee my safety. Instead, I was a fool who fell for his trap.I've never been more sad in my life than I am right now. I've never felt so useless than today, I didn't even know where the rest he captured alongside me were being kept.I co
ZIRA'S POVI moved back, trying not to believe what I was seeing right now. I staggered back a couple of times, making it hard for me to retrace my steps, but I was able to get back into balance later on.I looked at her with so much intensity. I didn't want to believe what I was seeing right now, I thought that perhaps it was my imagination and I was the one overthinking it. It's been so long, so she can't be here.I even pinched myself a couple of times just to see if it was real or maybe it was just me hallucinating things. I pinched myself hard a couple of times, but she didn't disappear.I found it hard to believe. I didn't even know just what to believe, I couldn't believe it. I pinched myself once more until my skin was finally red, but she was still there…She stood there with tears in her eyes. She was crying while I was in shock. I blinked a couple of times, hoping that it was just my imagination, but she was still there.I tried talking just to try to say anything, but I co
ZIRA'S POVWe talked a lot about different things, and I inquired about how her life was back in the pack. She explained how depressing it was and how she had always been thinking about me. I felt pity for her having to go through such.She introduced me to my cousin. I had two cousins. They were both guys, and they were a little older than me. It felt like having elder brothers." It's so very nice to meet you. You have no idea how this is such an honour," I said. They looked at me with a smile and slowly pulled me into a hug.It felt good having to reunite with my family after such a long time. I would have never imagined that the alphas of Alva and I were related. It felt too good to be true, but it was.They were my mom's older sisters. My mom lived with them after her sister realised that she wouldn't be mentally stable enough to stay on her own…" And thank you for taking care of my mother all this while. You have no idea what it means to me," I appreciated them.They just gave
ZIRA’S POVWith Keith's order to release me, I felt like I could breathe again. I was glad to have Donald and Ragnar around; their presence seemed to have put everyone in their place, and I was grateful for that.The fight for the throne was beginning to get too ugly so fast that it was hard to keep up.As we all sat, Ragnar spoke first, taking charge of the room. His and Donald’s presence spoke power that had everyone’s attention entrained to them.“Zira is going to remain Queen until the full moon as intended. You will show her the respect a Queen deserves because she deserves it.And if anyone tries to contend with her authority as Queen, we will rain war into this pack and have you all taken down.” Ragnar roared, his voice bouncing across the room. From the way his voice sounded, it was evident to everyone around that he meant business, and he didn’t have a problem breaking a sweat on my behalf.“Secondly, we will leave our men here. Any form of rebellion will be seen as an act of
ZIRA’S POVMy mother and I stood in front of Miles’ room and were about to enter. He risked his life trying to save his best friend and Alpha but couldn’t, and I knew he was hurting.It had been a few days since Donald and Ragnar arrived. And although my mother and I got to bond, there was still a long way for our relationship to get to.And when she told me about having the ability to heal people, I knew I had to come to help Miles. It would be cruel of me to possess such a gift and not help heal him after he had risked his life.It wasn’t just about him saving my mate, but it was more of my service to him for doing his own part to the King. It was what Ronan would have wanted.I took a deep breath and knocked on the door. When the voice behind the door asked to come in, I pushed the door open, allowing my mother to come in first.I could see the surprise on his face as we walked towards his bed. He looked broken, physically anyway and maybe a little emotionally, since he had lost so
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
