Ethan’s POVI paced around the throne room while waiting for my brother to show up. I couldn’t believe Victoria had lost. She almost had them. I started to feel guilty within myself for not aiding her in her plans to rid the pack of the Luna and the children.Maybe I should have helped her instead of leaving her to handle everything alone.I took in deep breaths, thinking back on the events that had unfolded.Victoria had kidnapped the heirs and handed them over to the rogues she had connived with. Instead of selling the babies off immediately she had the babies hidden in a neighboring pack which was her first mistake.When the alpha and his team had started on their way to the pack to retrieve the children, she called her rogues and had them meet her at the docks to sell them off.My guard whom I sent to tail her said she had waited for the rogues to show up and when they did instead of her getting rid of the children immediately, she first of all haggled prices before deciding to
Ethan’s POVThe alpha was cruel, that I knew now.“She shouldn’t have kidnapped the children but it’s clear since she has taken that path there is nothing we can do but wish her farewell.”We stayed in silence as I started to think of a way to change the topic. It was depressing knowing what would happen to anyone who dared cross his lane. For all I know, he might have been the one to even kill her and instead put the blame on Jane to appear as the saint. What a terrible wolf he was.“So you were talking about insecurity?” he asked.“Yeah,” I nodded. “But it’s clear you have it all figured out.”“I’m still working on it. I just need to find the right people to trust. Even you could be a villain,” he laughed out loud as I chuckled nervously.“Either way, I could aid some of my friends in their problems and they would in turn aid me back. I have friends in other packs who need my help,” I said. His countenance changed from that of intrigue to worry.“Need your help for what, Ethan?” th
Ethan’s POVI would use it when the time was right.He knelt down, bending the knee to me as he pledged allegiance to me and promised to be by my side in all my plans.Now I had more followers who were willing to follow me in setting my goals. I couldn’t hide my happiness so I let him in on my plans to take down my brother.He made some adjustments to the plan but seeing as his plans and Victoria’s plans did not work, I was skeptical of taking anything from him.I decided that I was going to do my own thing and use my own plans my own way. When morning arrived, I took men I trusted, men I could bet were more loyal to me than the alpha. Men who had killed for me and would die for me and rode into the desert.We rode for hours on horseback before reaching the gate which had cars lined up with the guards searching through each vehicle.We were waved to come forward and we took the horse lane, approaching them.I unwrapped my face mask as the guard walked to look at me and my men.“And y
Ethan’s POV“But she’s abusing her privileges and she needs to know her place. At the same time, she needs to be removed from that position. She also caused the death of Victoria, one of the lunas in the palace. From my sources, the alpha okayed the death of the woman and Jane executed her.”“What?! Who does Sinclair think he is to kill off his Luna for that… that thing!”“I don’t know. But I overheard her speaking with the alpha over something and that’s why I’m here.”“She was not a smart girl, that one,” he sighed. “Is that all you came over to see me for?”“You refused an audience with me,” I sighed, a bit mad that when I had called to see him he had outrightly refused to see me.“I get many people trying to see me daily, forgive me if I dumped yours in the trash.”He was very arrogant, this one. I hated him already but I needed something from him so I would accept going with him to this fight. When that was over, I’d take him out.I exchanged glances with Damian when the alpha wa
Ethan’s POVThat was a brave move and I was ready to give him the details.“I thought we were a joke to you,” I smiled.“Please we have gotten over that, now can we actually get to the part where you help me?”I decided to be of help to him and explain everything to him. I didn’t have the full details of their plans to attack but I told them how my brother loved to attack packs and this put the fear of Sinclair in him. When I was done explaining everything to him, he looked at me with a straight face.“I want to take them down,” he said. “And I’m going to need your help doing it.”“That’s a win-win for me. If you can easily take down my brother and Jane, then you have my support. I’ll be with you and your army with mine throughout the time. Make sure this counts as I am already going against my family for you. I don’t feel like dying anytime soon so make sure this counts. Don’t fail me.”“Don’t worry, I won’t fail.”His confidence was high but I knew my brother. Sinclair had gone thr
Sullivan’s POVI thought of every heavy thing I had pulled but nothing heavier than the car came to mind, yet this little girl was pulling ships with anchors as big as cars.What was she eating to have that kind of strength? When she was in the pack, she didn’t even have strength to come against me or anyone, and somehow she was this strong. This was something that I needed to find a way to counter before I could defeat her.“What are you thinking about?” an elder entered the hall.I wiped everything out of my head to smile at him.“Nothing,” I said. “What are you doing here?”“I saw the strange men you wanted an audience with leave, so I knew it was my cue to get in. We aren’t done with our meeting as the other people are still out there waiting for you to call us. Is anything the matter?”“Nothing is wrong. You can wipe away the silly thoughts you’re having.”“I can tell you’re worried. You can talk to me.”“I’d prefer if we kept this conversation out.”“Why not? Is it because of Ja
Sullivan’s POVI leaned over the balcony to see the people running about their days.That was it! I thought to myself. The idea I had been trying to perfect this whole time had finally appeared.I was going to invite her over to the pack.I would invite her first before she would even think of invading.That way, I would catch her off guard. But I needed to do this when Sinclair was not around. If she appeared with her children, then I would be killing two birds with one stone. Although I doubted she would appear with her children.But knowing how stupid she was I was sure she would appear with the children.I would kill her and the children, leaving Sinclair mentally unstable with Ethan finishing him off and taking over the pack. At this point I felt like a genius. I could see my past self clapping for me and calling me great names for my wonderful ideas.With an evil grin on my face, I entered my study and picked up my phone to call Ethan to narrate my plans.“Or maybe I’ll just wa
Sullivan’s POVI didn’t trust him but I knew he wanted me alive for his own plans to work so there was that.“How do I know I can trust you?” I asked with a sigh.“Oh you stupid alpha, I brought you the intel didn’t I? I tried to warn you countless times but you shut me down. I could easily leave you to die. Why are you being difficult right now?”He was right. I had been paranoid ever since I heard about Jane trying to attack me and the pack.I had kept the peace up for years and now I was about to be involved in a war I didn’t plan for.This would ruin everything for me and my peace streak. This would be dangerous as people would choose sides with her.They would see her as the savior who was returned and I would have to kill her before anyone found out about her existence.I inhaled deeply, telling Ethan my entire plan which he surprisingly didn’t see anything wrong with.We agreed on the plan and he sent me her private number before cutting the call.I stared at the number I had,
Jane’s POV“I’m coming for you Sinclair,” I muttered before running out of the pack at high speed.With each step I took I could feel my speed and strength coming back as I zipped through the pack leaving the pack to the mercy of a rampaging Sinclair.I ran for minutes, passing a wreck site before meeting Martha and the rest of the pack on the road heading for Sullivan’s pack.“Are you okay?” she asked with indigo floating to me as I nodded.“I am.”“Where is the alpha?”“He lost control and right now he’s destroying the entire pack.”“Good for those bastards,” I heard Indigo mutter with some of the witches muttering in agreement.“Those people didn’t do anything wrong to him. The one who did was Sullivan and I’m sure he’s dead right now. Same thing goes for Ethan. He’s probably dead. Sinclair has so much anger and rage in his body that he would do anything to break through the world if possible.”“It’s the magic. He’s lost his humanity,” said Martha. “I’m guessing you used the hex.”
Sinclair’s POVShe nodded looking at the hex. She concentrated on it, using her magic to infuse into the hex.“Are you thinking of how to put it on?” I asked her as she nodded.“Just give me a moment.”I would give her the amount of time she needed. So long as I would get my super strength at the end of the day. I would rather die an alpha's death than escape a coward.She closed her eyes, putting her thumb to her mouth as she bit it and poured some blood on the hex which turned to a phone-like device with a lever.She pushed it down with two holes appearing on its side. Soon enough the holes released a lot of smoke in my direction before going out into the open.I felt my strength returning slowly.“The smoke is getting heavier,” she said to her feet.I casually stood up, breaking the chains holding me down. I was at full strength now and I could still feel my powers growing.I grabbed hold of her chains, breaking them off.“I don’t feel so bad. I mean, I can still feel my powers gro
Jane’s POVHe sighed, looking to his knees. “I even had a fight with the witches before leaving. She was trying to explain something to me and I pushed her aside in anger. I wanted to understand why you would cheat on me so I decided to come here on my own and see what was going on.”I couldn’t blame him. Ethan was a snake. Ethan had made me leave the pack anyway.“Ethan was behind this all along,” he blurted as I stared at him in shock.“He what?!”“He did so much to you that you don’t even know it’s from him. Ethan needs to be stopped permanently.”I agreed with him.I told him about the hex Martha had created for me which would amplify my powers and he was fascinated by it.“So how does this work? Do we say some magic word or do we just use it alongside your powers?”“Magic words are fine. We’ll use the magic hex like a smoke screen to escape but we have to be very careful as the hex has different sides to them.”He tilted his head. “What do you mean?”I could see his wounds were n
Sinclair’s POVNow I had to deal with my stubbornness. It had brought me to the end.The door opened again with two hefty guards getting in.They looked at me and opened my cell, dragging me by the chains out of the cell.I didn’t expect them to treat me nicely since I was going to die anyway and I couldn’t pretend how much it hurt, leaving everything in the care of my brother.He was a wrecking ball. The pack would crash in a few days.He lacked the leadership skills I had. He was impatient, unkind and crude to people. There was no way he was capable of leading the pack.I was dragged out of the building with the crowd screaming for my head to roll.The guards took me to a podium to tie me down to a ledge. There I would stay and wait for my execution to arrive.***Jane’s POVI was dragged out by one of the guards as they said the alpha was about to be killed off so I needed to see him.He dragged me out of the room like I was a child and we were out of the room soon enough, walking
Martha’s POVNow this man’s words were the last straw for me. I stood up with a frown.“Those who will ride with me to take out Ethan should follow me,” I walked to the door. “Those who choose to stay have sided with Ethan. You don’t know how dangerous you are until you have tried fighting the beasts you fear.”Walking out of the throne room made me feel weak. What if no one followed me? I thought to myself. What if I walked out and looked back only to find no one but myself? That would hurt. Everything I had given to this pack would be taken for granted. No one would see me and Indigo as leader material and I would not be chosen to lead alongside indigo again.When I reached the gate, I heaved a heavy breath, turning to see everyone from the throne room before me. Even the ones who had refused to follow were present.“You all showed up,” I smiled.One of the wolves stepped forward. “I figured since we were going to die anyway, we might as well make it mean something. The people in t
Martha’s POVMy eyes darted from big to small, taking in their sights. Anyone who moved carelessly would take in my wrath which I was glad to give off.“Anyone who has something to say would say it when the time is right. For now, I would advise you all to sit down and let her finish with the story.”Everyone settled down as I waved for the girl to continue but she told me she was done.The story was unbelievable. Sinclair, defeated? That was not possible. Even I found that hard to believe. It was Sinclair we were talking about. There was no way he would be beaten by anyone. I could not even fight with him on even grounds without taking a beating. How had he lost?Yes, she had said he was taken down by three alphas and a lot of wolves, plus he had been shot by archers who had wolfsbane infused poisoned arrows but it wasn’t a concrete story I would believe so blindly.“Are you sure of what you’re saying or you’re making stuff up?” I asked the wolves on my side for a change. “Because le
Jane’s POV“Do you even see how ridiculous you sound?” the old alpha growled. “You would die for him? You would prefer dying with him? I wasn’t even going to kill you yet but imprison you until you die but if that is the route you want to go through then so be it. I will take off your head alongside his! Is that you last wish?”“That is my last wish,” I confirmed. “I want to die alongside my alpha. I would rather go with him than be in this world without my mate.”Damien stepped forward putting his phone into his pocket. He was visibly worried by what I had said.“Are you mad?” he growled. “You seriously want to do this? You want to let everything you’ve created go just like that because of him? You would rather die for him than live? What about your children I kidnapped the last time? They don’t mean anything to you?”“Stay out of this rogue,” I growled. “It’s not like you care about me. When you chose to kidnap my children you don’t care. I suggest you sit this one out.”Sullivan fe
Jane’s POVWas this all my fault? Why had he not seen this attack? This was so unlike him.“Don’t blame yourself for it,” he laughed louder this time. “He was bound to fall someday. It was only going to take some time.”When he was done, he walked to the television, disconnected his phone and left.I was left alone for hours as the guilt penetrated my soul. I had single handedly killed the alpha and destroyed the pack.If I had actually talked with him and let him know of my plans this would not have happened.Now I had destroyed everything he had built from the ground up. I had embarrassed him and killed him. This was all my fault.Why didn’t he go to Martha and indigo? I had given him the hint to go to them. Or had Martha not told him anything?I had been captured, he was supposed to know that I would be here after talking with the witches.Now I felt really guilty and my heart sank with unhappiness. Watching those videos and seeing him in that awful state made me shed tears of sad
Jane’s POV“Ethan?!” I gasped. This was a surprise as he laughed.“Surprise.”“Are you here to rescue me?” I laughed. “I knew Sinclair wouldn’t trust that I was in the pack. These guys…”“Kidnapped you, yes, I know,” he completed with a cold smile.“Yes, and they held me back. The guy on red there is Sullivan, the other one is Damien and the…”He turned to the men and spoke to them in hushed tones as they nodded, leaving with the guard.Now we were alone, behind closed doors.“What is going on?” I asked. “What did they say? Are they going to release me? Did they say anything about releasing me?”“Jane,” he said as I looked at him. “Yeah.”“Shut up. Just shut the fuck up!”I was taken aback by his sudden outburst. I had not expected that. What was going on?“Are you okay? Did I do something wrong?”“You don’t seem to care about my feelings for you,” he sighed.“Please stop and help me.”“I seem to forget which one of us is in chains and which one is free. Because last time I checked,
