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
ZIRA'S POVI hung up the phone and angrily shoved the phone back into my pocket. I hated everything that was going on.From the suspicions to the looming betrayal. I could feel more of it forming in the air.It was like that annoying itch a person had, but the main spot was not the point that felt itchy.I wanted all my suspicions to stay as they were - suspicions. But I couldn't deny the anger building inside of me in case they turned out to be true.It would be a disaster, but if I found out that he has been planning something, Miles that is, or has done something, I would not hesitate to use my time as Queen to make his life a living hell.I would make him pay so much that even the grave would not accept his body.After I dropped the call, my mother and I returned home. For some time, we talked about what was happening and what was going to happen.Hours turned to days as I waited for something, anything. I felt like I was going to lose my mind.I didn't get any call from anyone, a
ZIRA’S POV“I know you have a thing for Zira; don’t ask me how I know, and I also know that you don’t want the throne.”Miles said, and my ears perked up. I didn’t know if it was utter disgust or fear I felt when he said that, but I didn’t like it one bit. It made my stomach churn in the worst way possible.What was it with the people around here getting obsessed with me?I couldn’t seem to catch a break since Ronan died.“I don’t want the throne either. But I do have a plan. With Ronan dead, I intend to destroy everything my father ever cared about to the ground, and you are going to help me with that.”It wasn’t a plea; he was telling Antoine that he didn’t have a choice in the matter and he had to obey the order.I glanced over to Martha once again. I waited for Antoine to refuse, to insist that he wasn’t going to let Miles hurt the people he grew up with.But none of that came.“What do I have to do?” Antoine asked. I frowned in disappointment. I didn’t think it would be that easy
Zira's POVMartha placed her palm over mine, nodding her head gently to remind me to calm my nerves. I was burning with anger again. It still felt like a dream that Miles was evil."We need to take action before they do," Martha whispered to me, "Let's go back now and expose their plans."Gritting my teeth hard, I calmly withdrew from the urge to jump in and pounce on Miles.Quietly, Martha and I began to sneak out of Mike's quarters. He might have played his game all this while, but now, I was one step ahead of him. One step to bring all his plans crumbling.Martha was about to whisper a spell that'd completely make us untraceable when suddenly, a tall man dressed in a hooded cloak stepped right before us."Not so fast, little birds," he removed his hood and raised his head, "since you're already here for the party, there's no need to leave."Martha shivered immediately when she saw his face. There were numerous tattoos drawn on his face, and he had a devilish smile, but I couldn't f
Ronan's POVEerie silence covered my ears. It felt like I'd been listening, waiting for the sound of my own heartbeat for eternity. And finally, it came. A loud thud. I could feel my breath returning to me. I knew I hadn't died. I knew I hadn't crossed that border.A loud gasp suddenly escaped my lips, and my eyes came open. Everywhere seemed dark at first, but my vision slowly began to return."You're awake!" I heard a woman's voice call out beside me.I tried to stand up to see who it was, but the same voice cautioned me, "You can't stand up now. You're in so much pain and really need rest right now."I tried to speak, but my lips didn't open. Even if they did, my tongue felt extremely weak."Also, your wolf has gone into hibernation. In order to heal your third-degree burns, he had to expend every last energy he had," the woman informed me.On hearing that, my mouth was forced open."Shit! How long have I been out?""I've lost count," she answered."What?""Yes. It's been that long
Zira's POV"Walk faster!" Antoine yelled at me, pulling me by the hair as he forcefully dragged me toward the garage."Let go of me, Antoine. I don't want to go with you!" I yelled.He stopped and landed a heavy slap across my face, "Be quiet!"With that, I continued in silence with him until we got to the garage, and he forced me into the backseat of his car.My hands were tied behind my back, so I couldn't reach for the door.He started the car engine and began to drive out of the garage. Immediately, I began to remove my shoes, hoping to use my toes and unlock the door. But then, I heard a click that echoed on the four doors of the car."Fuck!" I groaned. He had locked all of them."Stay still. We have a long journey ahead of us, and it will get bumpy if you disturb me," Antoine warned."Fuck you, Antoine! Fuck you!" I kicked the door, "Somebody help me! Help me!"The car began to move, and my heart started pacing faster as Antoine drove deeper into the garage. I'd thought he was g
Zira's POV "Can you stop the car? I want to pee!" I said the moment I woke up.I'd been asleep for over thirty minutes, only to wake up to see that we were still on the way."We don't stop on the way. Never!" One of them responded."What am I going to do? What if I pee here?""Hold it in!" "How am I going to hold it in? I've been pressed for the past five hours today!" I yelled, "Please, let me go!""Sometimes, I wonder if people like you think from your anuses. Do you think that if you get down from this car, you'll be able to escape from all of us?" "I don't want to escape. I just want to pee!" I cried.It was really getting hot in between my legs. I could have still been sleeping if not that I felt really pressed.When one of the bodyguards saw tears rolling down my eyes, he brought this phone out and dialled Antoine's line."Sir! Your wife wants to ease herself," he said, "what do we do?"Antoine's voice was tiny over the phone. I couldn't hear what he was saying, but the vehic
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
