Laura's Point of View: I was awakened by the voice of Alan, who was shouting, yelling, and screaming. "Anyone here up to help? She's bleeding!" Another voice joined him, speaking with much sarcasm. "Dude! You're expecting vampires to help a bleeding woman? Are you out of your mind?" I tried my best to gather information based on that voice, which led me to the following conclusions. I was in the vampire's palace, which meant that we had successfully escaped Andrew's hold. The other voice belonged to Peter, which meant that he was safe, and nothing had happened to him – that was also a relief. The thing was, I was feeling weird, and the guys mentioned that I was bleeding. "Get her here!" A familiar voice also entered the conversation – a voice I recognized as Tristan's voice. At the right moment, I felt ready to wake up. I felt ready to confront the person who had caused me all the pain I had gone through for the past three months. I wanted to open my eyes, to tell him to stay a
Laura's Point of View: "Easy to say, easier said than done!" That was all I managed to say the moment I understood what we were supposed to do. I mean, the cure had been created, but we needed to make sure to stab Andrew in the heart with it. If the cure missed his heart, it wouldn't work. The thing is, they've only made two doses of the cure so far. That means we only have two chances. In fact, Andrew is a supernatural creature known for his super-speed in both human and wolf forms. This means we can't shoot him from a distance; he needs to be stabbed up close. Thinking about it, Andrew is stronger than all of us – that's a fact! Even with my powers unleashed, we still can't overpower him. When I first killed him, it took sacrificing ten pure-blood mages, and you probably know that mages no longer exist. I only knew two half-mages – Safira, who's dead, and my sister, who's only a half-mage, not a complete one. So, using the old technique to kill him is impossible, and Tristan's p
Laura’s Point of View: Funny how sometimes the tricks that used to paralyze you end up paralyzing your enemies. I still remember those times when Andrew used to infiltrate my dreams in order to toy with me or make me feel afraid. The amusing part of the whole situation is that I am now returning the favor. To kill Andrew, we need to catch him alone. However, the challenge is getting him where we want without him suspecting. That's the first step we need to take – to manipulate Andrew into believing he should pursue us one by one. The catch is that when he does decide to come after one of us, he'll be met with all of us. By the way, do you recall the story I mentioned about the vampire who was rejected by a she-wolf and then decided to study werewolves? The one who became friends with an alpha and lived among werewolves for a while? The same one who wrote the book about vampires? Well, that individual is the same fancy guy who always sides with Tristan. He's none other than the va
Laura's Point of View: Andrew stood in the center, while the rest of us circled around him. A confident smile adorned his face, radiating unwavering trust. He believed none of us could defeat him, let alone all of us together. Little did he know what we held in our pockets. His laughter reverberated through the previously tranquil city, now bustling with anticipation due to his arrival. "So, that's your plan?" He asked, his gaze settling on me. "You think gathering this bunch of clowns will bring me down?" As soon as he finished speaking, Amira, who despised being labeled a clown and reveled in the dark energy the city offered her, seized the opportunity to strike first. Utilizing her magic, she inflicted a powerful headache upon him. Seeing the attack commence, both Tristan and Luther leaped into action simultaneously, inflicting numerous cuts on his body. Alan's glance met mine, signaling for me to use the needle containing the cure. His role was to provide cover until I could
Laura's Point of View: Luther suggested that I would be the one to kill him.Yes, I was going to be the one who took the life out of Andrew's body.I would be a huge hypocrite if I claimed that I felt anything for him other than hate.Especially after losing my powers because of him.I have no pity, nor emotions for him.I breathed in and out, taking the blade I had used a hundred years ago to kill Andrew.As a matter of fact, I had kept my dagger with me since the day I escaped the palace. Luther grabbed Andrew's hair as he cried and begged for mercy.The mercy that he never showed me, the mercy that he didn't show my mate, the mercy that no one expected from him.The thing is, it was difficult for me to kill him a few hundred years ago since he still held a place in my heart. However, I can feel nothing for him now. I feel something else. An urge that compels me to take off his head.Yet, it's not what I shall do.I ran the dagger down his chest, creating a large cut through which I
Damien's Point of View: Something feels weird. I kind of feel weird. Just as if... I don't know! It's just so weird. I forced myself to open my eyes, and when I did, she was in front of my sight. She was covered in blood, and in her hand, there was a heart. A heart!!! Her eyes were teary, and she burst into tears the moment she saw me. She wasn't alone. By her side were Alan and his mate. Two bloodsuckers, and I was able to recognize one of them, Luther. What was my mate doing alongside the vampire king himself? That wasn't the only weird thing. I couldn't feel her wolf as if she was wolfless. Her womb... She looks pregnant. Perhaps, I was still asleep! - That was the first thing I thought of while looking at the weird situation. Yet, I was sure that it wasn't a dream the moment I felt my mate's body over mine. She was hugging me while crying. The only reason I knew it was real was the sparks tingling all over my body. It is impossible for anyone to make me feel this way oth
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: 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,
