Laura's Point of View: It's been hours and I'm waiting, yet I'm still waiting. Since my mate tried to kill me, I'm still waiting. I let my eyes roam around my surroundings. There was no one by my side other than Tristan and Andrew's dead body. In fact, I felt as if his body was looking at me in a very teasing way. My goodness! I'm that much of a hypocrite to think that I'm being teased by a dead body. Tristan is acting super nice toward me in a way that made me believe that he is trying to hypnotize me. It is indeed known that vampires tend to act sweetly with their potential victims before compelling them. I lost my powers, so I'm nothing but a human. An easy target and prey. "I'm not going to harm you... I'm not a monster!" Tristan burst out as if he was reading my thoughts. I nodded my head as a gesture that showed him that I do trust him. Then I asked him the question that was roaming inside my head since Damien shifted and ran away. "Where do you think you are? Why ar
Laura's Point of View: Well, when I thought that everything was alright, I discovered that nothing was alright. My life is literally upside down. From a Queen to a human. Believe me, it's not something you would love to experience. I went back first to my parents' house, but he couldn't stand staying in such a pack in which everyone is looking at me either with pity or that look that says she got what she deserved. I know you might be confused since again I'm starting the story from the end, but it is to speak about the end rather than to remember how it all started. I was rejected by Damien, and I accepted the rejection. He is having a hard time, and the least I can do for him is to give him the space he needs. Even when it tears my heart into pieces to know that my mate is unmated again. He is a handsome king with no mate; he looks exactly like an easy target for horny she-wolves. I know that's what you're thinking - What is wrong with her? She's standing for him even after
Laura's Point of View: “Why are you doing this?” I finally was able to ask after what seemed to be two hours of awkward silence. Instead of answering my question as I was expecting, he just kept staring at the dull sky from the glass window he was sitting by. I, again, asked him for the second time. I mean, it’s not normal that someone would do what he is doing just like that. “I believe I asked a question!” I started, then repeated my question. “Why are you doing this? I mean, all I’m asking for right now is a normal life in which I grow up like normal people do, then die like they do. Is it that hard for me to get something like that? The awkward silence grew bigger, and when I hoped that he'd be answering me, he answered. “You can have a normal life, even if you want to!” The way he said it made me feel hopeless in a way that made me angry. “Why? Who are you to decide such a thing?” He averted his sight away from the view he was watching, then looked deep into my eyes. I d
Laura's Point of View: Once we arrived, a black Mercedes was waiting for us right on the way out of the airplane. Tristan led us outside the airplane, and I did nothing but follow. I don't know for what reason, but I believe that I can trust him.Matter of fact, it seemed that Tristan had been planning all of this for a long time. He dismissed the driver and decided to take the lead himself, which I was grateful for. I don't feel comfortable around strangers. The previous driver was just a human being. Yet, he seemed to be familiar with Tristan's nature. He knew that he was dealing with a vampire, and he seemed to not only accept it but also not be afraid of the monster he was dealing with. Of course, Tristan is nothing like a monster. It's just that it's the way humans think of all supernatural creatures, including werewolves, of course. The drive lasted for about four or five hours, I'm not able to say. The thing is that I felt indeed exhausted, which is something I'm not used
Laura's Point of View: I'm a blood addict...!I'm pretty sure you are familiar with the term.If not, I will explain it to you...If a human is fed vampire blood, they become a blood addict.It's a sort of bond that enslaves human beings in exchange for drinking the blood from their master.Matter of fact, I'm not happy about it. Yet, I cannot do a thing about it.Hopefully, Tristan is a nice guy. He is not using the bond in any disrespectful way.The only reason why he made me a blood addict is that I am dying.The twins inside of my womb are feeding on my energy, which kind of makes me weak.If it's not for his blood, I would be dead by now, and they would be dead too.Matter of fact, he is a great person, and I'm grateful to have someone like him.Yet, I feel like something is missing.Perhaps, it's because I haven't heard a thing from my previous mate for a while. It is the fact that my friends are not even trying to reach me.Not even by a phone call. Especially knowing that I am
Laura's Point of View: A month has passed, and I'm still not over my mate... I see him in my dreams; I see him when I'm awake. I keep having fantasies about him even though I know that he is over me. I mean, even though he rejected me, I still feel the pain of betrayal whenever he is sleeping with any she-wolf. Yet, I still have a soft spot for him in my heart. Damn it! Why am I supposed to be the only one feeling these feelings toward him? How can I not get over him the same way he got over me? Lost in my thoughts, I didn't notice the door of my room being busted open. It was Tristan, as expected, but I was too zoned out to notice his presence. Of course, not for too long; the talkative creature made sure that I did notice his presence the moment he stepped inside my room. "You need to move on!" That was the first thing he said, and of course, he doesn't need to read my mind to guess what's on my mind. That's why I didn't find it convincing to lie to him. I breathed in and
Damien's Point of View: After training the warriors, I decided to return to the palace—specifically, my room. While on my way, Alan showed up out of nowhere. "What do you want now?" Based on the look on my face, I concluded that he was here to discuss one of the boring subjects he had in mind. "We need to talk; there's something you need to know!" I rolled my eyes, and I wasn't making any efforts to hide how uninterested I was in anything he had to say—a fact. "No!" He dared to defy me, which is something I'm not used to. Perhaps before I die. As for now, he is nothing but a puppy that follows my orders even when he doesn't like it since I'm back. "Let's get to my office and finish this as soon as possible. Put in mind that if what you had to say is unworthy of my time, things might get ugly!" He followed me as I changed my direction from my room to the office, only to hear what the moron had in mind. "What is it now?" I tried not to waste more time. "Laura!" He started, and j
Damien's Point of View: Italy!It's been a while since I was last here.The Alpha, his beta, and delta were waiting for us outside the airport.In fact, no females were there with them.His Luna should be by his side, but she's not. I understand; I am a mateless male after all. The type that can take his female mate without him daring to object.If he does, I won't do much other than kill him. As for the mate, a new bond will be created, and she'll be forced to forget about her previous mate.Actually, I should start thinking about it.Why not have another mate? Perhaps that way, I would forget about Laura.The White Light Pack is a modern type of pack, so they don't have a traditional pack house. Instead, the alpha of the pack owns most of Amalfi city.So, our first destination was one of his restaurants. We had dinner while discussing all his pack business.I have to admit, the way he handles his pack impressed me.He's done away with the traditional habits, adopting new ones that n
Laura's point of view: As I was done speaking to Avyanna, I immediately made my way back to New Orleans.I made sure that only the best of our enforcers were involved in this voyage to New Orleans.I wasn't planning to involve Damien, so I didn't tell him about the call from Avyanna nor what she told me about. Same goes for Amira and Alan.I wanted to get over with the mission as fast as possible, and be sure that both my daughters are safe.Perhaps, I’m over controlling as everyone claims, but if it’s all that I need to be to make sure that my twins get a safe life - then so I’ll be.Before the jet landed, I received the urgent information I requested about the so-called alpha Roger. I can gladly state that the information is good for nothing.Yet, what reason does he have to pursue my daughters, and even wish for my death?Could it just be that he is one of those stupid greedy alphas that dreams about taking the throne?Even if he is, he should be set as an example to anyone who da
Laura’s point of view: "I don't blame her for running… I would do the same if I were her!" Damien burst out with the words, and I felt angry at him.Instead of dealing with our kingdom's real issues, I'm locked here while trying to figure out where my daughters were.I have witches on my tail; vampires, and even traitorous wolves roaming around my kingdom, and instead of taking actions like true leaders, I’m here playing the role of the bad mother.Worse than that, my mate is not supportive of me. He thinks I’m quite paranoid by being overly controlling of everything.I would have gone too far to believe that he doesn't see things the way I do if he wasn't there with me through all the ups and downs I've been through.Sometimes, I wish I were just Laura, the mateless girl rejected by her alpha mate, and then my story ends.As for now, I seem to be fighting an endless war without having anyone on my side.Fun fact, when I first came to the Palace, I thought of Queen Sofia in the worst
Avyanna's point of view: She just shouted; the end stumped away from us, is she for real? Brandon seemed not to trust Roger's wolf, neither did I. I can’t say the same for Rebel. In no time, Brandon shifted to his wolf then went for a run. It was a sign that he was in no mood, and I kind of understood him. I have to say it again, foolishness runs in the blood of our family - it’s official. I mean, how could she be that dumb to trust someone she barely knows. I’ve seen his wolf, he is stronger than what he claimed. I doubt anyone could easily escape him. Anyway, since he wanted to play that game, I’ll be glad to play it with him. I closed my eyes while thinking about Luther, the only one that still can have a bit of control over Rebel, because the last I do remember was that she's really into the role of I am a queen and no one knows better than me. I closed my eyes, then called his name the same way Austin told me to do. Part of me didn't believe that the link would work. I
Roger's point of view:I might underestimate that Avyanna girl, but that is a mistake that will not happen again. I made a note in my mind about the importance of getting rid of her as soon as possible.As for now, and since I am already discovered, I needed to find a way to get myself out of this mess with less amount of damage.The moment Rebel spots me, her eyes were all in disbelief. In no time, she was making her way toward me.“Shift!” She ordered, and I did as I was told.In no time, I was in my human form, totally naked. Fun fact, I knew that I might find a piece of clothes somewhere near to me, but I didn’t care to find any.I wanted my future queen to see the difference between a real man and the fake one by her side.I kind of do not regret coming here, especially after that I learned that the Brandon guy isn’t a real deal in her life.Based on the argument they had - their entire engagement is nothing but an arranged one. She won’t be that hurt when I finish his life.Well,
Avyanna's point of view: Something doesn’t seem right. I tried to learn some few things about alpha Roger, but the thing was that I couldn’t find a thing about him. Firstly, it was because no one wanted to talk to me after what happened. Second, it was because there was indeed nothing about him. It all started when I saw my sister and Brandon leaving his office while arguing. As it seems, Brandon doesn’t seem to like him, nor trust him either. Fun fact, Rebel met him just one day, and she was willing to trust him. Well, it seems that foolishness wasn’t something related to only me. Our family has a huge history when it comes to foolishness. Anyway, what was suspicious was that he went after them without any of them noticing. I would normally follow all of them to see what’s happening. The thing was that no one was around me, and no one was in his office. So I would be too dumb if I missed such a chance. I slid inside his office after that I masked my scent. It was one of
Roger's point of view:I saw the look on her face when she knew what I was. I saw the fear that she had while looking deep into my eyes. Part of her didn't want to believe that the one standing in front of her is a true alpha. You might be wondering but a true alpha I can be. Well, you can tell that I am an alpha bloodline, but stronger than a normal alpha. Why? Well, that also can be explained. The more I kill the more I get stronger. It is always a matter of time before I started having all of whoever I killed. She knew that if I kill her right away, all her power, special gifts, and even title would belong to me. It's just that I'm not thinking of killing her at all. I do have some other plans for her. I am a great alpha, and I deserve a great mate. My destined mate was too weak and I don't deserve someone like her. The reason why I ended her life. I ended that weak human before any sort of bond can be created between both us. I can't deny it, I do have nightmare
Rebel's point of view:I didn’t know since when I was asleep, but it feels like forever. It is so comfy that I don’t want to wake up. Matter of fact, things don’t always go the way we want. My phone rang and I ignored it. Not when it rains again. Well, whoever it is that person is doomed to death. This is what I thought before I saw my mother’s number on the screen of my phone. I answered the call while trying to get myself ready for whatever she was preparing for me. After all, I did wrong when I decided to go against her and come here. Still, I won’t give up on my sister. I will not let her feel the loneliness that I grew up feeling years ago. I made my decision, and whatever result is waiting for me, I’m ready to take it. I answered my mom, and as expected, she was deadly worried and angry at both of me and Brandon. Not when I told her what happened a day ago. First, she wanted to come and join us both, but that wouldn’t be a good idea. The reason why she allowed me and B
Avyanna's point of view: My sister already spent hours in the packhouse, meanwhile, I and my mate decided to go back to my mother's house. Trying to know that I was totally happy seeing her, especially knowing that she was the reason both me and my mate had our life so far. Brandon is here too, it is right now with her at the office of Rogers's house. Still, I wouldn't deny feeling a bit jealous. Especially when everyone bowed to her. I felt that this could be me. The thing is that I've never cared about power, Glory, or anything other things my mom wants from me. And when I saw that the same people who wanted to hurt me were bowing, shaking with fear, and ready to do anything to please my sister, I wanted to be her for a moment. I shook my head trying to throw away all those things. All I want to focus on right now is that she came all the way searching for me, and even saved my life. I should be grateful, but it's time for me, and my mate to leave. Well, here comes the i
Rebel’s point of view: The fire burned through my veins the moment a vast alpha wolf aimed to kill my sister. Brandon ran straight toward both of them while trying to get between Alpha, Avy, and Peter. The weird thing was that Brandon was knocked down the moment he was near the wolf. Seeing through the situation, it wasn’t doing us any favor. As a matter of fact, I just arrived six minutes ago. Still, I can tell how strong this alpha is. I’m even doubting if any of us will make it with less damage if we fought against an entire pack with such a strong alpha. The reason why I decided to avoid the fight was still not to show any weakness. I growl, giving the alpha a warning, and also, showing my dominance of the entire pack. After all, I am the future werewolves’ Queen, and I won’t believe any of them would dare fight against me, even that strong alpha. As I expected, the moment all of them acknowledged my presence due to my dominant aura, they all bowed to me. When I say all,
