Still Prince Herod's POV “Alpha, do you know of any pack in this region that might have been wiped out? The Kingdom has not received any reporting of that.”Harad stared straight into the young Alpha's eyes. Alpha Dimitri lost his balance for a moment, I felt his aura shift. But Alpha remained stoic with no hint of emotion across his face. “Not that I remember,” he answered lightly. "Why? "Has anyone mentioned anything about that?" “Well, we met two women in Human Town. They're saying to be the only survivors of a pack that was near yours. I personally urged them to find shelter with your pack, but they outright refused,” revealed Harad. “Isn't that strange? You would think that she-wolves, in particular, would be careful not to become rogues or lone wolves.”There is something about the Alpha's attitude that seems quite suspicious to me. There's no reason why we shouldn't believe Xanna. Goddess, the women were too young to decide for thems
Prince Harad's POVWe drove to a yacht club located a few miles before Human Town, on a large lake. Although there were no particularly sizable vessels docked here, water scooters and canoeists frequently use the waters of the lake. We strategically positioned ourselves on the high terrace, with a good view of both the water and the stairs where several visitors enter. The idea is to distinguish the werewolves from the humans. Once we identify werewolves, they will be compelled to confess under our authority.The abundance of forest around the lake makes it a prime destination for werewolves seeking to immerse themselves in nature, whereas our chances of spotting them would be lower within Human Town's central area. As we refresh ourselves with a chilled beer, our conversation veers towards the pressing issues that require attention in the Kingdom. We delve into disputes between packs concerning borders and land, also discussing wolves changing packs an
Alpha Female Ciciane's POVXanna and I take care of the poor woman, who is very upset about what has happened."Come on, why don't you take a refreshing bath? It will make you feel better," I try to convince her. I help her into the bathroom, where there is a bathtub. Looking at the tub with longing, I want to relax my tired muscles in the warm water. But I'll have to wait until the woman feels better."Thank you, Cissy. If it wasn't for you and that man, I don't know what would have happened to me," she expressed her gratitude. She undresses in front of me, showing no shame in her nakedness.I fill the tub and a moment later she gets in.In one of my cupboards, I discover some leftover bath salts in a bottle. When I remove the cap, a wonderful scent of lavender fills the air."Would you like some bath salts?" I asked Taylor. "They're not ours, but I don't think the previous tenants want them back." She laughs at my remark, takes the bottle from me, and pours the entir
Still Alpha Female Ciciane’s POV The moment my eyes close, I relive it all again in a dream.Impatient to show my mother my purchases, Xanna and I return to the pack. However, as soon as we pass through the gates, a sudden sense of discomfort overwhelms me. The link with my family abruptly severs and an intense pain clenches at my chest. As the warrior behind the wheel unleashes a gut-wrenching howl, he grips his chest and attempts to get out of the vehicle. However, his wolf fails to connect with its pack mates and Alpha. He collapses onto the ground and exhales one final breath. Xanna and I stare at him in shock before regaining our senses.“Cissy, I don't feel my parents, nor the Alpha," Xanna murmurs to me with puzzlement.I'm trying to reach my father, the Alpha, in the mind link, but I can't get through either. And then I understand that something serious is going on. “Xanna, come. We ha
Prince Harad's POV I have been unable to sleep a wink all night. The thought of Cissy's pack being slaughtered and her and Xanna being left alone in the world without protection is unsettling. According to Gamma Eugne, this happened three years ago, when Cissy was only fifteen. It is a miracle that two young she-wolves were able to survive against dangerous pack wolves and humans. I am curious about how they managed to survive all those years since they were not allowed to work. Today, they will provide us with answers.I need to hear the whole story, from the moment of the massacre until today, how they were able to save themselves on that fateful day and what they believe was the reason for the attack. I know my father will hold not only the Alpha, but also the Elders of Crescent Moon accountable. About a hundred years ago, when the King ascended to the throne, he immediately banned pack wars. Prior to this
Still Prince Harad's POV Herod barely has his fist on the door before it swings open.In front of us stands Taylor, wearing prudish pajamas and smiling so broadly that I almost burst out laughing. But as I look closer, I notice that the first buttons are undone, revealing much of her creamy breasts.Nausea rises within me. This is a far cry from the pathetic victim of violence I brought here yesterday. “Sir,” she greeted us as she fixed her eyes on me. Her lips held a sensual smile, and she pushed her breasts forward, which seemed to hold a promise. I scowled, what is this now?But finally taking the time to look at the other visitor, she sees Herod and is puzzled by the resemblance. This was not new to us; Herod and I were often confronted with such reactions.“Don't worry, I was the one you came into contact with last night,” I reassured her. “This is my brother, Herod. Actually, there is someone here who would like to spe
Still Prince Harad's POVWhile we wait for the girls, the bickering between Gamma and Taylor continues.I shut myself off, I'm too confused about what just happened to me. Xan's behavior really surprised me, never before have we crossed the line and paid attention to one of Herod's mistresses. It is an unspoken agreement between my brother and me that we never date or sleep with the same woman. Threesomes are not for us.But I'm shocked at my reaction to Xanna just now.Oh well, maybe I'm reading too much into it, it's normal to appreciate a beautiful woman, but that doesn't have to mean anything. Cissy is also beautiful, her attraction to me is massive, I feel something special for her.I shake my head as if that will clear my thoughts.Looking around the living room, I see Herod standing by the window, staring out. His shoulders are straight, which means he is struggling inwardly. The sight of Xanna sleeping has probably stirred his emotions more than he thought possible. He fights
Prince Harad's POV Still As Herod escorts the two out the door, I observe Cissy closely.I notice a change in her demeanor. Although she was never particularly affectionate towards me, she now seems more distant, and our relationship has taken a step back. I had hoped that she would agree to stay with me today. Now that the three of us have to move out of that pack, I'm sure we can find a luxurious apartment near this place. Maybe we could rent a separate room for the night so we can be together undisturbed. The waiting is driving me crazy, and my body is burning with desire for this woman. I can imagine making love to her all evening and still not having enough. Regardless of what happens, I must have her with me when I return to the Kingdom. I gently take her hand and lift it to my lips. "Beauty, what's going on? Why the sudden change in attitude?" I asked softly as I brought my hand to her face. She closed her eyes
