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
"Are you that obsessed with me?" she shouted, causing everyone to look at us. "You stole Damien with your games from me, and now that I'm over him, you don't like him anymore? You won't accept that, unlike you and Damien, my mate and I are having a better life. Are you trying to sleep with Alan too? How disgusted I am to even look at you!" Well, it took me a while to realize what was happening. Still, I don't feel like understanding anything. I was like in a while speaking with Alan, as normal people do. The next while, I became circled by almost everyone, but my mate who I spotted his shadow while he was leaving the hall. While watching my mate leave without even considering taking my side or standing for me, Alan's voice came from nowhere to bring me back to the situation I was still stuck in. "I would claim you've gotten drunk if not for the fact that you're a werewolf..." he stated statistically, as his usual self. Instead of speaking to her mate, she was still creating that ty
Laura's point of view: I could hardly open my eyes. Still, when I did, it was already morning.It didn't take me too long to remember what happened the night before. That pain wasn't something I believed I would ever be able to endure, nor want to.I wanted to see Damien, to talk to him, to be proven wrong, but he wasn't back yet.I didn't want to rush in with conclusions, but him not being around proves that what I was afraid of is right.Well, if he's not here, then I'm going to find him wherever he is.Right after I made it out of my room, I tried to search for any leading hint that might guide me to my mate.Hopefully, I met a butler in the middle of the way. He looked at me suspiciously, as if he was questioning himself for long.Am I the mate of the prince, or just a random she-wolf?Well, the question I asked right after seemed to clear his doubts."Have you seen Damien? The prince... My mate?"He right away bowed his head as a sign of respect, then answered my question."Your
Laura's point of view: I ran, not thinking to look back. I was not only afraid but also terrified. Unlike me, my wolf was angry and wanted control to fight. In fact, I don't think my wolf likes me at all. She never talks to me unless she wants to blame me for something or take Damien's side instead of mine. She was howling, shouting, screaming that I needed to stop, to go back to Damien. Is she out of her mind? Not wanting to listen to her or care, I kept running and running until I was facing the gates of the palace. The guards tried to stop me, and for a while, they were about to succeed. Well, it happened at the right time. I remembered what happened to that rogue and Noah. Then I felt a creepy smile crawl across my face as I knew what I should do next. "Open the gates!" I ordered, using my authority against the poor guard. A shocked look was drawn on their faces as they followed my orders without understanding why. Once the gates were open, I started running for a second t
Laura's point of view: "Each circle represents a promise..." The girl's voice changed from a girly voice to a manly one, and so did her appearance. In no time, instead of the girl, a gorgeous-looking man. "Who are you?" Well, I was thinking of asking that question, and before I did, it all happened inside of my head. I started kind of remembering who he was... Who I was! He was someone I used to be bound to in a previous life. Someone I used to love, like how a mate used to love her destined mate. The thing is that we were never mates. Yet, we loved each other that way. It wasn't this life for sure, I was living in a different time. I met him for the first time at Alan's wedding ceremony, the same one I am assisting right now. How exactly, I don't remember it all. Alan was my alpha back then, and I remember enjoying breaking his rules. I always used to get into trouble since I was somehow a family relative to the alpha. Well, not that night! Once the couple finished the marria
Damien's point of view: I sat near my sleeping mate; I don't know what was wrong with her. Still, it's worrying the hell out of me. She keeps acting weirdly since I brought her here to the palace, which I used to believe is normal. Things got worse after her mother's death. I'm trying not to push her limits, but it's getting unhandy for me. Take the previous night as an example, she spent most of her time with Alan instead of sticking with her mate. Even though I was annoyed, especially after the scene created by Selene, I only chose to walk away instead of creating any sort of trouble. The thing is that once I reached our room, I found her searching for something while destroying her staff. The moment she spotted me, she ran away. Of course, I did the obvious, which is following after her. She wasn't fast at all, but she managed to run out of the palace. Once I caught her, I rained down questions on her. Instead of answering, she smashed her lips onto mine. That was all she
Damien's point of view: I, myself, sent my mate to face an unknown danger. I ran after her, hoping to save her before it's too late. She was still in her human form, so I thought that I might have a better chance to stop her. Not when Alan decided to join. He wasn't in his human form any longer. Instead, his wolf was the one taking control. He was running as fast as light in a matter of seconds. He was right by my tail. I don't know how it happened, but his fangs found their way toward one of my legs, which caused me to stop in my tracks. His bite was kind of strong, and he didn't seem to think of letting me go. "What the hell is wrong with you... Let go of me!" I mind-linked him by my command since I wasn't intending to waste time fighting him. "I won't let you hurt her!" He mind-linked back, still not letting go of my leg, which started playing on my nerves. "I don't need you to teach me how I am supposed to treat my mate. Do yourself a favor and mind your own business. Now l
Laura's point of view: Having a second chance at life can be a gift, but not in my case. Wondering why? Well, it's all because of what I like to call nightmares. I'm always hunted by the huge wolf that saved me in my previous life. "I shall come back!" That exact promise haunts my dreams, and because of it, I started hating closing my eyes. I am afraid... I don't know who I am. Who was I? And what crimes did I commit in my previous life? Worse, Lady Mery is taking her turn alongside the gorgeous male to make my life a living hell. She still begged me to save her son. The thing is, I'm trying, but I don't know how. Both of them, they're not stepping back. Even the king, who's the father of both, refused to interfere, claiming that it's our nature. What nature is he talking about? Is he talking about animals? The thing is, he's no help or use to me. I can still do one last thing. I don't know if I'm doing it to save Alan or to satisfy my curiosity. The thing is, I'm sta
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,
