OCTAVIUS POV rated R
"How do you contact the other side," I growl after watching the spot the fairy pointed out for a few hours.
The fairy looks away from his arm and shrugs.
"I get contacted. I do not do the contacting," he grumbles, and I growl.
He tries to hide his flinch, but he isn't successful.
"You said you need to be near her. That's the reason she hasn't sent more of you over. How have you been separated from her for this long? You have to know a way to communicate with that side, or you would be dead," I growl while standing up.
Genuine fear morphs across his gaunt face, and I lunge. I wrap my hand around his neck, and he immediately begins to beg.
"Please don't! I will do it. Please. Please," he practically screams, but
OCTAVIUS POVOctavius- Is everyone assembled?Garrett- Yes.Octavius- Good.I grin as I tuck Melanie's head under my arm. I am seconds away from presenting our foe's head to my entire pack, and I have never been giddier. I am so eager for everyone to look at me with respect I can practically taste it. After this, there should be no more doubt or worry about our future. The families who are bunking with other pack members can return home. I will keep the additional homes coming in just in case we need them, but this is it. This is the beginning of peace. I don't have to worry about anything except being a regular Alpha. I could even split the packs back up. There is no need for everyone to live under my thumb. I throw open the side door to the auditorium, and every head turns towards me. I smile as pure excitement fi
OCTAVIUS POV I exhale loudly as I stand on the edge of my mother's realm. I am not sure if the barrier will give way and allow me in, but I have to try. I have to tell them that my job is done. I didn't need backup or years of planning. I finished off our enemy easily, and I want some recognition. I want a mate. I move forward, and unlike many times before, my foot steps right into my mother's realm. I breathe a sigh of relief before marching across the almost empty field. I keep my back straight and my eyes forward. I have come here for a purpose. I don't want to think about my emotional breakdown last night, and I don't want to seem like it is still affecting me. I want them both to see me as a King. I knock on my mother's door and wait. They don't get any visitors besides me, so I know they are aware it's me knocking. It takes a few minutes but finally, the door
SARA POV (YEAR 2077, 56 YRS LATER) "Now he is a fine chunk of meat. I can see why all the girls want him," the older waitress says as she appears next to me. I quickly close my worn book. My cheeks tint a little, and I give her a small smile. "I still can't believe they are real even though my friend's granddaughter is mated to one of them," she says while refilling my mug with fresh coffee. I nod, still feeling slightly embarrassed, and she chuckles. "Of course, you grew up in a world that included them. My generation were the ones who got the shock of a lifetime," she says while observing me with a steady gaze. I offer her another smile before breaking my silence."Yeah. I find their history very interesting. It's what I am currently studying in s
AMBER POV "Breath, mouse. There is nothing else you can do," Lucian says as he comes up from behind and hugs me. I shake my head back and forth as I fight back the tears. Every night is the same. I make a few new werewolves, I pair some mates, and then I rewatch how Octavius's day went on my new portal bowl that Anniki made me. And every night, I cry as I watch my son grow more and more bitter towards the world. "I don't think he will find this one either, Lucian. I don't know what to do. His wolf should be feeling the pull. I paired them when she turned eighteen. I fear he is ignoring it just like he did last time. I even put this one right outside their territory. All he has to do is leave his office," I say before spinning around and burying my face in my mate's chest. "Maybe it would be easier for hi
OCTAVIUS POV The pen clatters as I drop it on my desk again. I have nothing left to do tonight. I have finished all the paperwork for today, and if I start tomorrow's paperwork, I will have less to do tomorrow. I will be even more bored.Beerus- We could hunt. The meat in the kitchen is always the same. Cold...Octavius- I don't want to, B. Besides, you forget our territory isn't wild terrain anymore. It is filled to the brim with homes for our members.Beerus- why don't you want to? Why are you forcing us to live like this?I roll my eyes at the old question.Octavius- I will not repeat myself. This is our life. I have accepted it. Now you need to as well. We were meant to be King. We were not meant for love or family.Beerus- That's bullshit, Octavius. I know you feel it, just like before. We have a
Sara POV Have you ever had a jaw-dropping moment in public? Like a full-on mouth falls open, and you stare at the thing that has made you lose all control for an undisclosed amount of time. Well, I have. "...So we must ask that everyone be on their best behavior," Professor Taylor finishes acting like he didn't just shock the entire class with his announcement. My brain reloads as he sits down at his desk, and my hand shoots into the air. "Yes," he asks, and I clear my throat nervously. "So King Octavius will be coming here...to this college...today," I ask, and a few girls snicker at me. The professor literally just said the King, along with a few of the other higher-ups, would
SARA POV Oh my God! Oh my God. It's him. It's really him.At least, I think it's him. In his pictures, he always looks so stoic, but right now, he seems like he is walking on clouds.He can't be this excited to tour human colleges, can he? Other humans have documented him as being nothing but cold when interviewed. But there is no denying that face. This man is Octavius Bishop. Maybe he values education, and that's why he looks delighted to be here. His eyes scan the room, and when they land on me, he smiles, like really smiles. His eyes light up, and I swear my heart misses a few beats. He is the sexiest man I have ever seen, and he is smiling at me. Good thing I put on mascara this morning."Hello, I was told this is a class that studies supernaturals," he says as he walks towards Professor Taylor with his hand outstretched.
OCTAVIUS POV My heartbeat races as my mate finally stops screaming. For the longest time, Jannah being attacked by a bear was the scariest moment of my life, but now there is a new scariest moment. My mate screaming out in pain because of something I did will haunt me for the rest of my unnaturally long life. Feeling as if she might die from that pain will star in every one of my nightmares. As I study her appearance, I feel worse. Her once slick blackish-brown hair is now frizzy and messy. Her beautiful olive skin has a thin layer of sweat, and her beautiful almond brown eyes look petrified. It makes me sick to my stomach to know I did all that with one little sentence."Sara, are you okay," Jannah asks as she offers Sara her hand. Sara takes one look at the friendly g
