At last, the entire administration has come together and I can take some well-deserved personal time.The past few days have been a chaotic whirlwind, but thanks to Taylor's assistance, I was able to weather the storm. Exhausted from everything that had happened, I finally closed the cover of the last financial book and leaned forward to rest my head on the desk. Only two days remain before I must return to the Kingdom for the mating rituals of the Princes. That will be a great entrance for the renewed Crescent Moon, as I intend to impress the Royals with my accomplishments here. And, of course, properly credit Taylor for her contributions. It is now clear that I need not only a Beta but a Gamma as well.The pack is large, and as such, the Beta would undoubtedly struggle to attend to both my affairs and other minor matters at the same time. A Gamma is necessary not only to provide training but also to deal with personal grievances among mem
Again Alpha Eugne's POV “Oriya, where's Shiri! I want an Answer NOW!”Jax seethes with anger due to the disrespect shown by this woman towards us. She must understand that I am the Alpha and will absolutely not tolerate anyone challenging my authority. And if this woman is to be made an example of, then so be it. Being a werewolf herself, she knew beforehand that her unforgivable behavior would result in consequences. My Alpha authority makes her freeze in her tracks, her wolf immediately goes into submission. With the mere hint of dissent, Jax’s formidable might could easily dismantle any insolence and rip her head off. In recent times, his dominance as an alpha wolf has rapidly grown and his resilience is waning at an alarming rate. Oriya is treading on thin ice with her attitude, I am perplexed as to why she took such a big risk. In the grip of terror, she turns around, her eyes fixed on the floor. “Alpha, please,
Again Alpha Eugne's POV "Is this what you do when I'm not around?" I accuse my mate sharply. “Conspiring to take over the pack. You're deluding yourself if you think your scheme stands any chance now that even King himself has dethroned those incompetent Alphas."I glare at my mate with a fiery intensity, feeling the heat of anger rise within me. Startled, the trio turns to me as I make my presence known. Of course, they believed they could continue cooking their plan undisturbed and assumed that I was occupied with work matters. If I hadn't caught them today in time, I wonder if they would actually succeed in causing a massacre here. Without a doubt, the King would never tolerate his verdict being sabotaged.The Lycans would intervene and it would no longer be about maintaining jurisdiction over Crescent Moon, but more about endorsing the authority of the Werewolf King. This Alpha family is disillusioned when they think it would be an easy
Alpha Eugne's POV Once More When I wake up hours later, it takes me a moment to familiarize myself with my surroundings.This isn't my bedroom, everything around me is foreign to me. Groggily sitting upright, I realize that I am alone here. Through the curtains I see the twilight, it must be early evening now. That means I slept for hours on end. I place my hand on my chest, the agony of rejection has vanished completely.It's as if there is a deep, hollow hole where my heart should be. My thoughts go back to the last hour of my consciousness. Shiri, she betrayed me. She has put her family above all else. Once again I have been deceived, this mating formula doesn't seem to work for me. Why Selene insists on pairing me with mates who are so much younger than myself and have different expectations of life is beyond me. What is important now is that I inform the King of my discovery.If the pain hadn't consumed me so much, I would have done that rig
Alpha Female Ciciane's POV It is the eve of our eighteenth anniversary, Xanne and my mating ceremony.Every detail for the grand ball has been perfectly handled by Harad, who spared no effort in hiring top-notch event planners to ensure a flawless occasion. The large hall designated for our official engagement ceremony has been lavishly decorated and the preliminary rituals have already taken place. With everything set in motion, all of us know exactly what must be done next. Herod and Xanne precede us, their mating will be the first to be inaugurated by the Sages.Herod has also planned an unforgettable ceremony for his mate. The upcoming night will be great, everything points to an incredible experience. With the moon shining in its full glory, pleasant and crisp weather conditions prevail, the Lycans can hardly contain their joy at our mating. I stand on the balcony, my eyes settled on the main street adorned with vibrant
Alpha Female Ciciane's POV StillA piercing silence fell over the conference room.All eyes are fixated on Herod, mouths agape in stunned disbelief. But the King exudes anger, he cannot appreciate this remark. Although I haven’t known him for too long, I have never witnessed such an intense display of emotions from him, Herod has clearly hit upon a very sensitive nerve. “Herod, explain yourself!” King Jasper roared. “What do you know about this matter?”Walter intervenes, his face a canvas of guilt. He is suffering from this commotion created by his son. “Let's keep a cool head, Jasper,” he tried to soothe the mounting tension. "On several occasions, I have asked Eon why he is behaving this way. I explained to him in detail our relationship with the Royal family. He acknowledges the bloodline but insists that he is destined to be included among those who are destined to ascend to the throne, that this is his place. However, when pressed fur
Alpha Female Ciciane's POV Still I stand there transfixed as I try to process Herod and Xanne's words. The puzzle slowly fell into place as all the clues became crystal clear. However, my subconscious stubbornly refused to accept the irrefutable truth. Xanne who couldn't take her eyes off Harad when we lived in the cave in the forest, that nagging feeling that something vital was missing in the relationship between Harad and me, his insecurity about my lukewarm attitude towards him, Herod who initially showed mild affection for Xanne. There were signs, I just don't know if I'm the only one who didn't pay attention to them. The King and Queen's unrelenting gaze is fixed upon us while Herod and Xanne sport villainous smirks. My bewilderment mounts at the sight of my best friend, for never have I witnessed this aspect of her personality before. She was always indulgent and protective towards me but the Xanne standing here is unapproachable and has a cruel expression on her
Prince Harad's POV Herod's blood still drips down my fangs as I stare at my prey with fiery red eyes. Never did I think this day would come where I had to prove my power and domination over my very own twin sibling. Prior to today, we have never had disagreements of this nature that we had to fight each other. Herod's insistent pursuit of my mate has cost him dearly. The King's Lycan wolf had to intervene to prevent me from killing this fool. Sebad, the strongest wolf in the Lycanthrope species, stood between Xin and my primal rage and narrowly saved his head from being ripped off. Herod should have known better than to spit his nonsense about multiple mating, knowing how fiercely territorial I am when it comes to Cissy but still thought he could challenge me. Well, after today he knows how it will end if he repeats this stunt. I watch Walter and the King try to speed his recovery while my mother pats my back in an attempt to calm me down. Of cours
