KING ARLO'S POV

Jordy seemed lost in some foggy daze and it's been a couple of minutes already but she was yet to say a word. Or even blink. She'd gone flat-out frozen.

I snapped my fingers in her face and pinched her cheek. Her head turned to me like a remote robot.

"Did you hear any part of what I said?"

"I did." She breathed out, staring blankly at me. Then a long line of tears dropped, taking me aback a bit. "But God, it's hard to accept. Zoey wouldn't ever do that to me. She wouldn't."

Her words struck a nerve. "So you're saying I'm lying?"

"No. You can't be. And that's why I feel this conflicted and dejected and…" more tears rushed out of her eyes, and she paused to wipe at them.

My slight anger vanished. She wasn't trying to defend Zoey as always. She was just struggling to face the truth, that Zoey had also betrayed her.

I gave her time to calm down and then she continued. "How do I bring myself to believe this? How do I wrap my head around the fact that

    THIRD PERSON'S POV Ivan checked his wristwatch again, sighing and slouching in his seat. His gaze traveled to the fenced walls of Orlando's residence, making him huff. It's been an hour since he sat out here, right opposite their gate. Waiting. Still, no sign of Zoey. Going inside wasn't an option. This wasn't his Pack, and he wasn't acquainted with the girl. All he knew about her were the photos Arlo showed him of the girl and the conversations she had with the thug. He didn't know her personally enough to go inside their house and demand to see her. So sitting out here was the only way, even though his butt was getting numb from sitting too long. Two hours and thirty minutes. Ivan wasn't having it anymore. He turned on the ignition, ready to head back to the Packhouse. Arlo would have to come up with another strategy to see and talk to the Zoey girl. Because this 'waiting' strategy was a huge flop. Just about the same second, their massive iron gate was opened and a ca

    THIRD PERSON'S POV "Say that again. One more time. Go slower. It better not sound as ridiculous as it sounds right now. Or I swear to God, I'll stick my claws right into your measly heart." Luther sputtered out furiously, sending a heated reverberation through the halls of his house. The Omega Maid shuddered and bowed even lower. "I'm telling you the truth —" "Which of them is the truth?" Luther countered, stalking her with deadly steps. Saying he would stick his claws into her wasn't a bluff. He meant every bit of it. "The fact that Arlo returned last night, or…?" "Both, Beta Luther." She whimpered, keeping her head lowered. "Quit playing with me!" He growled, pulling her up and smashing her hard against the wall. She shrieked, recoiling from pain but he held her up, gritting his teeth with murderous intentions. "I'm telling you the truth, Beta Luther!" She cried. "I wouldn't dare mess with you." "You are already messing with me. What you just said is crazy. Jord

    KING ARLO'S POV "I'm so glad you returned, Son." Luna Cora gushed, amidst the tears tainting her tired face. She hugged me again, and then gave me another kiss on my forehead. "It's good to see you again, Ma'am." I smiled. She nodded with a more hearty smile, still cupping and caressing my face. "It's good to see you too, son. So good." She kissed my forehead again. It was a bit smoldering but I loved every bit of it. I kept my smile civil and my face void of emotions but my heart was wriggling in pain. Luna Cora looked agonized. A withered mess. A complete shadow of herself. It was fucking understandable. Her mate was on the verge of death. She knew that and was literally counting down to the second when she'd lose him. She had every reason to look so miserable but it hurt me to see her this way. It was breaking me into bits. Right now, I couldn't help but hate myself for leaving. I should have stayed. For her. For her mate. For the faith and trust they had in m

    THIRD PERSON'S POV "Father!!!" Jamal was a screaming mess as he alighted his car. He sprinted into the house, heading for the stairs but his gaze brushed over to the living room and he paused. His father's broad shoulders were slouched. He was sitting on a couch, with his head lowered. There was a bottle of whisky on the table and the pungent stench of weed. Jamal went to him. Furiously. Aggravatedly. He grabbed his shirt, pulling him up. "What did you do to her?!" Jamal's tears were a waterfall. He had cried a river on his way down here, but staring at his Father's pathetic face triggered more tears. "Son," Luther struggled to get Jamal's grip off his shirt. He wasn't being vicious though. He was feeling too devastated for that. Maybe he shouldn't have killed her. The regret had sunk in a little late. Maybe he should have let her off with a warning or a terrifying threat. But then again, he hadn't expected to feel the slightest affected by her death. She didn'

    MESSIAH JORDY'S POV Seeing Jamal was a bitter-sweet feeling, but then one gaze at his teary face made my heart break for him. For us. Zoey was our friend. We both had every right to look so miserably messy tonight. Arlo held my hand tighter. That was certainly a 'seeing Jamal' reflex. But he also had to understand that the situation was different tonight and I had to talk to Jamal. "You came," I began, forcing down the lump in my throat. Arlo winced behind my ear. I glanced at him, with pleading eyes. Just for tonight. Can I talk to him, please? His gaze was haughty but then in seconds, he lightened up and nodded. I gave him a small, grateful smile and my gaze went back to Jamal. "Yeah. But I'm leaving." He replied, with a voice ruined from crying too much. His eyes were very puffy too. Why was he grieving so much? Did he love Zoey this much, or was there another reason why he looked so broken? "You came," he said, after my seconds of silence. His eyes were melt

    Messiah Jordy’s POV "Forgive you? Why? What happened?" "It's a long story." His eyes beamed. It got me curious. "I'll try to make it brief." "Please do." I adjusted, awaiting whatever he had to say. "I found my mate. Her name is Megan." "What?!" "Yeah, yeah, the same reaction from y'all." He chuckled lightly. "My father couldn't believe it either. He still doesn't, if I'm being honest. Even though she's right downstairs with him, attending to his guests." "She's — she's here?" I was both shocked, happy, and….fucking excited! "You have a mate? Are you serious? Can I go see her?" "Relax, Jordy. You'll see her later. You've got time. But yes, I do have a mate, as unbelievable as it sounds." "It is unbelievable. Wow." A bit of happy news on a sad day like this was certainly in order. "What rank is she?" "Well, that's the thing. She's not from our Pack." My brows furrowed and he added the last part. "She's from Black Reeves Pack." "What?" Oh, no wonder he didn't w

    THIRD PERSON'S POV Jamal was an edge away from being fully drunk as he took another draught of the bottle of whiskey in his hand. His wolf was drenched with the liquor and the overwhelming sadness deep down his mind. His head was resting on the couch's headrest. Eyes were heavy with tears. It was way past midnight but he wasn't feeling any bit drowsy. Tipsy, yeah. But not drowsy. The sadness in his soul was weighing him down. Keeping him awake. Ridding him of his sleep. Torturing him. Images of Zoey flashed repeatedly in his mind. Her voice was on a loop in his head. It was all bringing him to endless tears. The guilt he was feeling was indirectly branding him as her murderer. Even though he wasn't. Maybe being his father's son made him just as guilty as his father. Maybe knowing everything and still not telling anyone about it made him his damn accomplice. Maybe that was why he was feeling so wretchedly guilty. The slow footsteps from the staircase made him qui

    KING ARLO'S POV The serenity in the garden was a great ease to my heavy mind. Saddled with thought, I felt like I was going crazy. I was anxious to my bones, teeth-clattering scared. Fingers-fidgeting-nervous and you could only guess why. Yeah, tomorrow was the day. Jordy's coronation. The noisy preparations going on in the main buildings weren't helping my anxious state. I had to sneak out and come hide out here. To think. Clear my head. To curb this fear gnawing at my heart. Prancing the garden grounds, I tried to convince myself that nothing unusual would happen tomorrow. Everything would turn out great. Jordy would get officially crowned as the new Alpha and Luther wouldn't try to sabotage it. I tried to drench myself into a million positive thoughts but there was this poking feeling in my gut. It had me restless and so fucking scared. About tomorrow. With Zoey dead, the chances of exposing Luther just narrowed. I had no ace up my sleeves against him. So if he doe

    THIRD PERSON'S POV “Careful, Mother.” Jamal put out a hand, helping his mother out of the cab. She was covered in thick clothing and was still as skinny. But she had smiles that went deep into her eyes, a good sign of recuperation, both physically and psychologically. He watched as the driver pulled their luggage from the car and two of the men he'd brought along were taking care of them. Staring at the crowded airport, Jamal felt a heavy sense of melancholia. Growing up, he'd never thought he'd be here. His Father had given him traditional teachings and had repeatedly told him how he'd be in charge of the Pack someday, so he shouldn't bother getting knowledge of things happening outside the pack. How much he'd believed that. Standing here, with his passport in his hands, ready to leave, was a twist he never saw coming. “Let's go inside, son.” His mother urged him. He nodded, linking their hands and taking another glance back. As badly as he wanted to leave this Pack

    MESSIAH JORDY'S POV TWO WEEKS LATER “He's so beautiful,” The nanny mused. I glanced at her and nodded with a teary smile, before returning my gaze to my baby. “Yes, he is. Isn't he?” My Reon Arlo Jnr. had to be the prettiest baby I've ever seen. Rapidly growing, he was already taking a few steps and was making baby babbles. Right now, dressed to the nines, he was in his crib, playing with his toys and laughing out loud. He had an amazing laugh. His smiles were heavenly. I could sit all day just watching him, and I've been doing exactly that in the last few days. Enjoying being a mother. Enjoying being a wife and a mate. Enjoying freedom. After Luther's death, I left our Pack. It wasn't an easy choice, though, as the elders and the people pleaded that I stay back and lead them. Arlo wouldn't give in to their request. According to him, he made a promise to my mother to free me from the shackles that being born as royalty put on me. He vowed to rescue me from the p

  • The Lycan King's Female Alpha Mate   The judgment

    MESSIAH JORDY’S POV The interrogation hall was crowded, awaiting my entry. All the elders of the pack were present. All the sentinels, all the higher-ranked individuals, and a few representatives for the masses. Literally every single person that contributed to the growth of this Pack was present, and I was having almost a panic attack going out there. Again, I looked down at my outfit, teary-eyed anew by it. When Arlo and Jamal had planned on taking over the pack, and when I suggested helping them out, I just wanted to give them ideas and have the satisfaction of knowing that they cut off Luther’s minions and successfully handed him to the elders to be punished by the law. I wasn’t really dreaming to be part of it. I just wanted to experience it. But then, I had the shock of my life when Gamma Micah and a few elders came to see me at Arlo’s Pack. They told me about Luther being captured and made the most unbelievable offer of me, being the one to interrogate and punish hi

  • The Lycan King's Female Alpha Mate   Nothing like his father

    Third person’s POV Luther studied his son wondering how he managed to birth such a useless weakling. His mother wasn’t always weak. Maybe it was his relationship with those bastards; Jordy, Zach and Zoey that made him this way. Evil communication really does corrupt good manners. ‘Cause he was sure he didn’t raise his only child this way and he had to let him know. “No, son. No matter how deeply and intently I think about it, I don’t feel sorry for the things I did to get here. They were necessary, they had to be done.” He deadpanned. “And I don’t need you as a son or as a family anymore. Not when I’m on the verge of getting myself a new family. A new heir. One who’d be brave enough to be on my side, regardless. Not a fickle guy like you.” Jamal could hear the deafening sound of his heart shattering into a thousand pieces. He’ll never get an apology. His father will never feel sorry. He better stop dreaming about it. Alongside the noises he heard were the faint grunting sou

  • The Lycan King's Female Alpha Mate   Father and son discussion

    THIRD PERSON'S POV “What are you doing here?” Luther had displeasure in his voice as he got down the stairs. His servants had interrupted his hot fuck with one of the girls his men captured. He was just about to hit another orgasm when they rudely interrupted him, telling him of some important visitor and how his attention was needed. He'd been angry about someone visiting him at this late hour. Angrier about them ruining his fun. But then again, they said it was someone important and he'd thought it was one of his assassins. Or someone really important. He hadn't expected it to be his worthless son. Seeing Jamal instantly plunged him in a crappy mood and he wanted nothing but to chop off the heads of all the maids who'd come to call him. “Hello, Father.” Jamal greeted blandly, hands in his pocket trying to look really at ease so as not to give his Father something to suspect. “Father?” Luther scoffed. “The last time I checked, you said you disowned me as your Fa

    THIRD PERSON'S POV “Father,” Zach was up on his feet, staring nervously at the frail figure of his father, Gamma Micah, as he got down the stairs. Gamma Micah was dressed in loose pants and a loose shirt that was definitely his sleeping outfit. His eyes were groggy and his face had heavy traces of sleep stained on them. He looked every bit unamused by having his sleep cut short by a sudden mind-link from his son. “What's the problem, son? Why do you want to speak to me in the middle of the night?” “I’m sorry about the disturbance, Father. It's just…” “Are you okay? Did something happen to you?” Gamma Micah questioned, going closer to do a quick scrutiny of him. Zach stopped him with a smile. A sad smile. “I'm fine, Father.” Ever since Zoey's death, his father has become more agitated, more paranoid, and extra concerned about him. It should be a nice thing, the extra concern would have been soothing if it didn't have trauma written all over it. Zoey's demise

    Messiah Jordy’s POV “Uh, let's continue.” Jamal cleared off an unfamiliar crankiness in his voice as his fingers moved to the map again. I looked at it and was partly stunned to see it was a map of our pack. A vivid map that showed every route that led in and out of our Pack. “Confronting my father head-on isn't ideal. He's way too vicious now and would never back down. Regardless of how bloody the fight gets. And if the fight does get bloody, the casualties would be the poor members of our Pack. I don't want that…” “Yeah, me neither.” I chipped in, shuddering at the thought. “Whatever you guys are planning, please don't risk the safety of my people..” My people…I already got the words out before I realized. Were they still my people? Luther was already in control of my Pack. Could I still boldly call them my people? “Don’t worry, Jordy. I do not plan on hurting your people. I swear it.” Arlo smiled, giving my hand a warm squeeze. I smiled, feeling calmer. “So how

    MESSIAH JORDY’S POV Waking up alone in the bedroom had been slightly terrifying, but I forced myself to take a deep breath and not panic. This wasn’t my Pack. This was Arlo’s kingdom. This was his house and I could never get hurt here. My eyes were heavy and my bones were sore. How long did I sleep? Glancing at the clock and realizing it was morning made me go through a quick mental count and realize that I must have slept all through yesterday. Because the last time I was awake, it was dawn, and I’d started wailing again. Arlo was there holding me back, trying his hardest to calm me but that had been impossible. I only felt a weird sense of calmness when the syringe pierced into my skin again. He sedated me again. I must have fallen asleep right at that moment and stayed asleep all day until now. Unlike every other time I regained consciousness, I didn't really feel like wailing again. More like, I was too exhausted to. With a groan, I slowly stepped down from the bed

    KING ARLO’S POV “Goodnight, man.” Slauson patted my shoulders as we met on the stairs. He was going to bed while I was going downstairs to the kitchen to grab myself a bottle of water. “Goodnight,” I replied, jogging down the remaining staircases and taking a turn in the hall that led me into the pitch-dark kitchen. My hands went to the switch and I flicked it on. I turned and was slightly stunned by the figure who was seemingly brooding in the darkness that I got rid of when I turned on the light. Jamal. Earlier, he was sitting in the living room alone. And now, he’s here, with a can of beer in his hand and his eyes looking rather too heavy. He looked at me and leaned up, gesturing at the can of beer. “I needed a drink and I got this from the refrigerator. I’m sorry if I overstepped my bounds.” One, it was the first time he was being polite to me, and it weirdly made my heart flutter. “Nah, it’s fine. Go ahead.” I opened the refrigerator and grabbed a bottle of wat
