Lycan King POV:I was lounging on my throne ,which was made of the finest carved wood, I was going through reports from my various clan leaders when Titus, my trusted Head Enfoncer, barged into my chambers.I could feel the tension rising in the room as Titus approached me. As the head enforcer of the Lycan King, he rarely had any good news for me, and today was no exception.Titus entered the throne room and made his way towards me with an urgent look on his face."Your Majesty," he greeted with a bow, "We have news from the frontlines."I sighed inwardly and gestured for him to continue."I come bearing news of a battle between two alphas." He said . "A battle has taken place between Alpha Malachi and Alpha Zander," he explained.I raised an eyebrow. "And why should I care about their petty squabbles?" "And...Zander has been killed." Titus replied grimly.I felt a cold chill run down my spine.I raised an eyebrow, "What happened? Why were they fighting? Was it over territory?"Titus
lycan king POV:I stood there, gazing at the golden bracelet in my hand,my mind racing with questions.How had it ended up here? I laughed at myself for even considering the idea that Felicity could be the famous woman pursued by many alphas. Sure, she was beautiful and kind-hearted, but she wasn't special enough to warrant that kind of attention."No, no, that's just crazy. It can't be her," I said out loud, trying to shake off the thought and convince myself. "She wasn't pregnant when she ran away from my castle disobeying me. And she wasn't that special to be pursued by many alphas. It's just a coincidence."But deep down, I couldn't ignore the nagging feeling in my gut. What if it really was her? What if she had moved on and found success without me? I couldn't bear the thought of her thriving without me in her life.I continued to stare at the bracelet, turning it over in my hand, trying to find some clue as to how it had ended up here. The initials "M..B" (Maximus Blackwood) we
44The war between the alpha clans was just beginning, and I was caught in the middle of it. I didn't know if I would ever feel safe again or if I would be constantly looking over my shoulder, wondering when they would come for me and my child.But one thing was for sure: I would do whatever it took to protect my baby and survive in this dangerous world.I held my precious little one close to my chest as I ran through the dense forest. The fog hung heavily in the air, making it hard to see where I was going, but I couldn't stop. I had to keep going, keep moving, to get away from the danger that was nipping at my heels.My heart was pounding in my chest, and my legs burned with exertion, but I knew I couldn't slow down. Every moment I spent on the ground was a moment I was vulnerable to attack.Finally, when I couldn't run any longer, I stumbled to a stop and sank down onto the roots of a tree. My breath came in gasps, and my body trembled with exhaustion and fear. But my baby was safe
45Maximus POV.I could hear Felicity running in the forest, and I knew it was time to make my move. Suddenly, I lunged forward, striking out at the girl Ava. She cried out in pain as she fell to the ground, and I stood over her, triumphantly."You'll pay for what you did to my friend," Ava spat, her eyes flashing with fury.I could feel my blood boiling with anger and hatred towards this stupid girl. I knew that she would be no match for me, and I taunted her, telling her that she couldn't face me alone. And at that moment, I knew that Ava was indeed strong and brave enough to even attempt to stand up to me.As I continued to taunt Ava, I could see that she was struggling to get back up, and I realized that I needed to finish her off quickly. But as I prepared to strike again, I heard the sound of footsteps receding into the distance.I knew that it was time to let her go, for now, and I turned to follow Felicity.I felt something stop my foot. I was forced to move forward but I coul
46As I ran, my heart pounding, I felt the weight of my baby on my back. It was exhausting, but I couldn't stop. I had to save my friend Ava. Suddenly, my baby started crying, and I knew I had to quiet him before we were found.I quickly untied the loincloth and took off his diaper, he had pooped, he cry even more i use my left hand to muffle his cries as best I could. As I held him close to my chest, I heard noises coming from behind me. My heart racing, I turned to see Ava running towards me, a look of relief on her face."Ava!" I gasped, laying my baby down on the ground and jumping into her arms. "Thank goodness you're okay."I couldn't help but throw my arms around her, hugging her tightly as tears streamed down my face. "I'm alright," Ava whispered, hugging me tightly. "I thought you were dead." I said shaken by emotion."I know," she said softly, rubbing my back soothingly. "But I'm here for you now. We'll get through this together."I pulled away from her, wiping my tears. "
47I gently place my sleeping baby on a stopover in the shape of a cemented circle dressed with a loincloth, and turned around only to see Ava standing at the entrance smiling at me .“Don’t you still remember me?” she asked softly, and my heart sinks, guilt filling my chest. Of course, I didn't remember Ava. It’s been so long , and my mind can’t seem to connect the little girl from years ago to the grown woman in front of me. I couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity when I looked at her. In fact I had always had this feeling since I had met her . Her face, her smile, and the way she carried herself all seemed so familiar, but I couldn't quite place her.I shook my head, still trying to put the pieces together. “I’m sorry,” I murmur, dropping my arms to my sides. “I don’t… it’s been so long.”Her smile is sad, but she nods. “It’s okay. I remember you. We used to play together all the time, remember?”I rack my brain, searching for any fragment of memory that could tie me to Av
Ava saw what was happening and fear seizes her too. But she pulled herself together quickly so as not to panic me further. Tears streamed down my face as I begged Ava to hurry."Please, we need to get there now! He's getting worse!" I cried.Ava's expression was grim as she nodded and we accelerated our steps, it felt like we were flying so fast we were running. I bet both of us managed to beat Usain Bolt's record. We arrived in record time, but it felt like an eternity. We found several people outside.When I thought it couldn't get any worse again , my baby stopped convulsing and did not move again. I was petrified, screaming for help , these people rushed to our aid. My heart was in my throat as I handed my baby over to them.What was happening to my sweet little angel? Would he be okay? All I could do was cling to him and pray for a miracle.I was ushered into the medical room, where the medical team were frantically work to save my baby's life.As they worked to stabilize hi
49Maximus POV.As I searched through the dense forest, my frustration grew as I realized that I had let Felicity and Ava slip away from me. How could I have been so foolish? I was the Lycan King, the most powerful and feared among my kind. And yet, these two mere omega had managed to outsmart me.My annoyance turned to anger as I spotted a figure lurking in the shadows. "Who goes there?" I demanded, my voice booming through the silent woods.The figure emerged from the darkness, his eyes glittering with challenge. "Maximus," he said, his voice low and dangerous. "I hear that you're on the hunt for a certain former slave of mine."My eyes narrowed at the mention of slave. "What business is it of yours?" I growled.Malachi smirked, clearly enjoying the power dynamic between us. "Let's just say that I have my own reasons for wanting her back."I raised an eyebrow, intrigued despite myself. "What reasons would those be? Why is she so special?"Malachi's smile turned cruel. "Let's just sa
Epilogue:Eight years later, The room erupted in applause as Maximus announced the newly voted members of League of Justice. I couldn't help but feel proud of him as he confidently named each member.After the ceremony, Ava and Kim approached me, their cheeks were flushed with excitement and their smiles wide."Ava, tell me, how did Maximus do?" I asked, eager to hear their thoughts."He did an amazing job!" Ava answered, her voice brimming with enthusiasm. "I'm so proud of him.""I agree," added Kim. "He really isn't a dictator like some people thought he would be. He's smart, he chose to only have 50% of the power as king and left the other 50% to the League of Justice."Maximus really had outdone himself, building a new center for LOJ and bringing all the territories of the other alphas and his own together in one, calling it Bloodwood MaFe. As Ava left to attend to her fiancé Kyle, whom she had been through a lot with but still remained by his side, two years engaged and five ye
109Maximus POV.I stood there, adrenaline pumping through my veins as I stared at Melezo and Felicity lying on the bed. Melezo, the man who had almost killed me, and Felicity, the woman he had taken from me by force.Indeed I was not dead, have you ever seen the main actor die in his own film? No isn't it? So why was I dead? Marcus had the idea that I lie about my death, that I fake it , after the explosion, I had been seriously injured and Marcus had treated me alone , all this , so that i'll be able to kill Melezo, the real one and not a copy as usual. We had stubbornly left the coffin empty, Marcus had taken care of everything, no one had to know for the plan to work well, not even Felicity .I approached closer to the bed and I watched as Felicity's eyes widened in shock at the sight of me, clearly thinking I was dead. I gestured for her to be quiet, not wanting to alert Melezo to my presence just yet.As I moved closer, I could see the fear in Melezo's eyes when he finally rea
108Felicity POV.One week later,We were staying at the Melezo's apartment. He had me called by his guards." What do you want?" I asked my voice frozen like an iceberg. " It's all thanks to you that I spared your friends."I raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?""Don't play ignorant with me," he said.I pretended not to know what he was talking about. "What are you saying?""Don't play ignorant with me," he said, his voice low. "You know exactly what I'm talking about. Remember when I asked you to be my wife?"I shrugged, pretending not to understand. "I'm sorry, I don't recall. Could you remind me?"He let out a frustrated sigh. "Stop playing games with me. You said no. And despite the death of Maximus," he paused, glancing away for a moment before meeting my eyes once again. "Give me your answer now!."I felt a lump form in my throat and my heart raced in my chest. "Maximus is dead because of you," I said, my voice shaking. "And no matter what you say, my answer is still no."He
107Felicity POV."I can't see anything clearly, everything is blurry," I said in a muffled voice."Can you hear me?" a distant voice asked.I strained to listen, but it was too faint.Suddenly, my mother appeared in front of me. "Mom!" I cried out with relief.She turned around, and as I laid eyes on her, I was overwhelmed by her beauty. She was dressed in a light flowery dress, barefoot, and her blonde hair cascaded over her shoulders. "M-mom?" I called out, my voice shaky."You're doing great, just hang in there," a distant voice said.I started running towards my mother.But as I got closer, she said, "Stop walking, don't follow me."My mom whispered.But I couldn't help myself. I wanted to touch her, to feel her presence.Tears streamed down my face as I desperately pleaded, "But I want to touch you, I've missed you so much!"As I ran towards her again, the distant voices became louder and more urgent and my mother faded away."Can you hear us?" They called out.I blinked, and su
106Felicity POV.One week later,As I sat in front of the mirror, Ava carefully applied my make-up, and we chatted about her relationship with my brother Kyle. "I just don't know what to do," she said, her voice heavy with emotion. "I love him so much, but I don't know where I stand with him."I reached out to take her hand. "Ava, Kyle loves you. I'm sure of it. And I'm going to talk to him tonight and make sure he knows he needs to step up."Ava wiped her tears and gave me a small smile. "Thank you, Feli. I don't know how you always manage to make things better."I winked at her. "It's what friends are for."As Ava finished up my make-up, I surveyed myself in the mirror. It was a stunning transformation - she had somehow managed to make me look even more beautiful. My hair was carefully styled, and my dress was magnificent.It was a flowing, white gown, with intricate lace detailing and a stunning train. It made me feel like a queen. As Ava helped me into the dress, I couldn't help
105Maximus POV.As we walked back to our camp in silence, all dismayed by this death, felicity was the most affected, and I had to be there for her. Despite our past differences and our rivalry, Adrian was my comrade.When we arrived at the camp, the others rushed towards us. "What happened?" one of them asked, looking at Adrian's lifeless body."He's gone," Kyle said, his voice heavy. "We need to bury him."There was a moment of stunned silence before everyone sprang into action, gathering supplies and digging a grave. As we lowered Adrian into the ground, I felt a sense of closure, but also a deep sorrow for the loss of someone so young and full of promise. "Rest in peace, Adrian," I whispered, as we said our final goodbyes. I couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt wash over me. Adrian had been my enemy, but he had also been a fighter, a warrior just like me. And in that moment, I realized that perhaps if things had been different, he could have been a true ally, a friend maybe.
104Felicity POV.I sat there, feeling helpless and hopeless. I feared that Adrian would never let me go, that I was doomed to be trapped in this forsaken place forever. My heart ached for Maximus, and I could only pray that he was searching for me.Time seemed to drag on endlessly until suddenly, the door burst open with a loud crash. In the doorway stood Maximus wolf, my hero, my love, he quickly detransformed and resumed his human form. My heart leaped with joy at the sight of him, and I felt a wave of relief wash over me.Maximus quickly freed me from the ropes that bound me and removed the gag from my mouth. I threw my arms around him, feeling the weight of everything that had happened to me lift from my shoulders.As we held each other tightly, our lips met in a kiss that was filled with emotion. Desperation, relief, and love all mingled together, and I felt that nothing could come between us.Breaking the kiss, we remained entwined, not wanting to let go of each other. "I love
103Maximus POV.As I opened my eyes little by little, I felt a throbbing headache and realized it was already nighttime. Ava was standing over me, holding my baby and Felicity's in her arms. "What happened?" I asked groggily, feeling confused and disoriented.It all came flooding back to me - Adrian had given me the tainted meat, causing me to feel weak and drowsy.I shot up, suddenly remembering what had happened. "Where's Felicity?" I demanded."That's actually why I woke you up," Ava said hesitantly. "Adrian took her to talk and she hasn't come back yet."I jumped up, feeling the pain in my head intensify."If that bastard had even laid a finger on Felicity, I was going to make him pay." I shouted.My sudden outburst woke everyone up from their sleep. Kyle shot me a murderous look, "I can't believe you woke me up," Kyle glared at me."I had to," I replied, "Something happened with Felicity.""What happened?" Kyle's tone softened as he turned to Ava.As Ava explained the situation
102Felicity POV.Once we were a safe distance away, Adrian started speaking in a hushed tone. "So, I wanted to talk to you about Maximus."I furrowed my brow, not sure where he was going with this. "Okay, what about him?"Adrian's voice dropped even lower, "He's not a good man for you."I stopped walking and turned to face him, "What do you mean?""He's dangerous, he's made enemies, and he's not the right fit for you," Adrian explained.I furrowed my brow, "I appreciate your concern, but I'm capable of making my own choices."Adrian hesitated for a moment before saying, "I understand. I just worry about you.""Thank you, but I've got this," I reassured him.As we continued our walk, Adrian spoke up again, " Feli, I still love , I tried to forget you but I can't!" I stopped walking and turned to face him. "Look, we've already talked about this. I don't share the same feelings for you. I just love him you a big brother, like I love my brother Kyle. You need to understand this once and
