Damien's point of view: I ran my hands through my head, realizing what I had done. My wolf was the one in control, and once again, I messed up. But this time, I'm not the one to blame. It's Allan. The way he looked at my mate wasn't what hurt me the most; it was the way she gazed back at him. Her tiny hand was in mine, so I squeezed it hard. But she didn't seem to feel anything. She was staring deeply into his eyes as if her life depended on him. The only thing that snapped her back to reality was my father's shout. It seemed he was annoyed by the little drama created by my mother and Selene. My heart was stabbed a hundred times as I remembered how both Selene and my brother played me. But it wasn't Selene who was on my mind; it was Laura. The way she moaned and screamed for more made my beast take control. The thing is, I warned her to stay away from him, yet she didn't listen. I used to fully trust her, but now I'm not so sure. However, I still don't trust my brother. What I hate
Laura's point of view: Pain... Immense pain... That's all I felt. I forced my eyes open, curious about my surroundings. I don't remember anything, not a single thing. Yet, an unbearable scent was destroying my senses. I opened my eyes and discovered that I was locked inside a cell, a disgusting cell in what appeared to be a dungeon. I was chained to handcuffs and surrounded by strange writings on the walls. I don't know why, but I believe those writings are nothing less than magical spells. The disgusting smell turned out to be wolfsbane. Perhaps that's why I felt dizzy, or maybe it was the spell on the walls. "Where am I?" I barely managed to speak, but I asked again, this time with a bit more strength. I received no answer. So, I questioned again, a bit stronger than before. "I know I'm not alone! I can feel that someone is here... Tell me, where am I? And what do you want from me?" Out of the darkness, the same rogue who appeared in the palace showed up again. Only then d
Damien's point of view: It's already been three days since she was taken. All the investigations led us back to New Orleans, which made me believe it was something related to her original pack - The Blood Moon Pack. Tonight, Alan and I are attacking The Blood Moon Pack without any reinforcements from the palace. Of course, the two of us can handle that entire pack on our own. I'm still not rescuing my mate's life, especially while knowing the pack of rogues that is formed mainly by ruthless alphas. Normally, I would rush to save my mate without thinking or making any plans. The thing is, I'm not alone this time. Noah is on my side for this one. He enlightened me about a matter I never noticed, which is how predictable I am. He was able to describe what was on my mind, from how I'm attacking The Blood Moon Pack to the part where I'll be trapped. Part of our investigation involved a witch's service. A witch who seems to be on good terms with Alan. She was quite surprised by the st
Laura's point of view: Darkness...That's all I was able to see. As if my entire world had stopped and then refused to move anymore.I saw my entire life passing by me, yet I wasn't able to understand what was going on with me.I don't deserve this... I don't deserve such a life. I have never been someone evil... Or perhaps that's the reason why all of this is happening to me.Perhaps if I were as malicious as Selene, or as egotistic as Noah, or as heartless as the woman who just killed my mother, life would have been easier.I felt anger, fury, and madness. I wanted them all dead. I wanted to tear their souls and bodies into pieces.I wanted them to suffer more than I was suffering right now.My mind still refuses to process my actions. Yet, their voices echoed through my ears, making me angrier than I ever was."What have you done? Is she dead?" Noah asked but was ignored."I don't think it's her... You just wasted my time again!" The rogue snapped, but the witch was more confused t
Alan's point of view: A Witch Out of all the existing creatures, my mate is a witch. I cannot believe it or accept it. Yeah... Yeah! I know I've been on good terms with witches, and I've asked for favors from them from time to time. The thing is, I know for sure that those people can't be trusted. Witches normally trigger their power based on their feelings - happiness, sadness, and most importantly, anger. Add to that the fact that they're an arrogant type of species who believe they're meant to be nature's favorite children. Every witch believes it's their mission to keep the world well balanced, which only ends up creating more desire. Yes, indeed! While trying to maintain order, they only create disorder, and it's been proven. I mean, in order to keep human beings safe from werewolves, they decided to create an equal enemy that would put wolves at bay. The thing is, they were successful in creating that enemy. What they didn't take into consideration was that this creature
Laura's point of view: It's already been a week since I came back to the palace. I'm trying to move on, but it's not easy. My mood doesn't seem to lighten up. In fact, I locked myself inside my room for the entire week. I wasn't, and I am not, ready to meet anyone here. Still, it's the King's orders that moved me to leave Damien's suite. The royal family is supposed to have meals together or something like that. The thing is, I don't care about what the so-called king wants. I'm only sitting at that table for my mate. He's been a real support to me, even when I was doing nothing but crying and blaming myself for causing my parents' death. Not that anything has changed lately, I mean, I still know for sure that I'm the real cause of both my parents' deaths. The worst part is that I witnessed both their deaths without being able to do a thing. I was weak, useless, pathetic. I was everything I didn't want to be, but not anymore. I decided to shut down my feelings and care about noth
Laura's point of view: I can't sleep, and it's driving me crazy! How do you expect me to sleep or feel at ease knowing that my mate challenged his brother? Yes, he did! I can't understand him at all. I mean, he thinks what he wants is more precious than family. Although I'm trying my best to stick by his side, I don't think I could ever do that in my life. Well, fighting him wasn't on my list, not my intention. The thing is, I cannot agree with him anymore. Why would I ever agree that he kills his brother for a title? I mean, I'd rather do whatever it takes just to have my family around me, sticking by my side. Instead of being grateful for what he still has, he is challenging his brother in a fight that will only end if one of them is dead. I tried hard to stop him, to convince him that they can settle their differences. Yet, he refused. His wolf always takes control and takes the conversation to a different level, accusing me of having feelings for Alan. What the hell is wro
Laura's point of view: The ball was quite fascinating; I didn't miss any chance of enjoying my time. I mean, to my surprise, the Queen kept introducing me to every person she met as if I were her beloved daughter, not as the mate of her son whom she hates more than anyone else. As for Damien, he kept company with the King and Alan. They all looked like a quite lovable family, which, of course, is far from being the truth. You might wonder where Selene is? Well, she was standing alongside her father, the one who threatened my life a few weeks ago. The two of them were circled by some good-looking werewolves, high-ranking werewolves - I got to mention. She could control her wild imagination while speaking about the changes she'll make the moment she sits on the throne, the way she will banish low-ranking wolves from taking part in the 'run' ritual. Furthermore, she was telling stories about how expensive the jewels Alan brought to her were. Her ugly voice was able to reach my ear
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,
