Laura's point of view:Forty minutes ago, Alan was sitting in his room when I decided to knock on his door. He sensed my presence and opened his bedroom door before I even knocked. We hugged each other, then he started talking to me about how he was happy about finding his mate. The mate bond was playing in his favor, and he couldn't hide how much he was satisfied with it. Right after, I informed him that I had a gift for him. At first, he was expecting the gift to be something like news or anything like that, but that wasn't my gift. I got closer to him in a way that our faces were inches away from each other. Noticing that the distance between us had shortened, Alan jumped away from me. "I'm sorry, Laura. I care about you, but not in the way you think. I have a mate, and you have one too! You should be with him by now." I was kind of trying to be serious, to act seriously. Still, when he spoke that way, I burst out laughing. "My goodness! He thinks that my gift to him was a
Laura's point of view:I was standing before my reflection, becoming familiar with my old self for the first time.Red gowns were always my favorites. Still, something was missing. Perhaps a crown above my head.No worries, I'll have it in no time.As usual, Damien was in his office. Not the old one, but the new one.Ah, did I mention that we moved to the king and queen's suite, which was previously mine?I decided to make my way to my mate's office, then grabbed him and headed to the hall.He was so engrossed in some paperwork that he forgot about the coronation ceremony.Things went smoothly, and Damien's father and his mother handed us the throne, exhaustion evident on their faces.In short, they're going to leave the palace as it's their wish to start anew.Well, I doubt anything they do would fix their broken relationship.It's only a matter of time before both of them start looking for their own paths. Just when I thought the night was over, Amira showed up."What are you doing
Laura's point of view:Damien's parents have left the palace, and I can't help but feel relieved.The previous queen was no simple person. I couldn't get things done while she was around. It was never going to be easy.Now, I don't have any more time to waste playing childish games, so I started the real work.I sent both Amira and Alan on a mission to search for Andrew's body.It is a mission that might help them reconcile.Last I remember, Andrew's body was buried under my sacred lake.However, since I remembered who I am, I couldn't sense his presence. So I decided to take a look and see if his body is still where I remember it being.Indeed, when I swam down to the lake, his body wasn't there.If they have the body, then they only need the heart to bring him back to life.You might wonder who the 'they' are.Well, his followers.Andrew somehow found a way to infiltrate people's dreams, just like he used to do to me before I remembered who I am and blocked him out of my mind.He use
Laura's point of view: I woke up in the middle of the woods, alone, coughing up blood madly.I should have known that they were going to make a move. I should have been more careful.Although Damien was killed in the dream created by the witches, I believe that he's still alive for now.The thing is, I need to find him before it's too late.In fact, I'm not handing over Andrew's heart to the witches, no matter what. I can't help my mate by bringing the devil back. That would only be a waste of time since he'll die right after he wakes up.I forced my body up, only God knows how much I hate it when witches intrude on my dreams. It's always painful.I shifted back, making it back to my room precisely.I took a quick shower to clean my body from the blood and mud I acquired in the woods. The last thing I want is for everyone to ask questions about what's happening. I'm sure I will fix it all before anyone notices.I wore a gown similar to the one I was wearing before I left. Then I grabb
Laura's point of view:"If you're playing any sort of game, believe me when I tell you that I won't feel fine until I drink your blood, one drop after another," I threatened the so-called Ezra for the third time since she started her plan. Well, I guess I have to start explaining what the plan is. She kind of motioned that she had heard some witches talking about a big move or something like that. She believes that the sort of big move they're talking about has something to do with Damien going missing. Also, she mentioned that she kind of felt some sort of dark energy around the palace, a sort of energy that she didn't feel the last time she was here. Well, a lot has changed since she was last here. In fact, the most important part is that she believes that Damien and Evan are both in New Orleans. Exactly, the French Quarter. Somehow she was able to feel his energy. As much as I hate it, I can't ignore the fact that everything drove me back to New Orleans. My body was resurrected i
Laura's point of view:I ran while carrying the half-unconscious werewolves on my back, and when we were almost out of the territory, the witches suddenly appeared and circled us. We were surrounded by about twenty witches, while we were only three. I mind-linked Damien, who could barely stand on his feet, and asked him to leave my back along with Evan. The much wolfbane and silver radiating from both of them gave me an idea of what they had been through and why they looked so weak. On the other hand, that witch - Ezra, seemed utterly terrified. I shifted back to my human form, and she was like, "Are you serious!" I smirked at her face, then with one swift hand movement, the fire circled around us, keeping the witches away. I closed my eyes, then summoned the mighty wolf, hoping that he would hear my call. Fortunately, he did. In a matter of seconds, the wolf started tearing apart every witch I directed him towards. Their magic couldn't affect him, and the fire circling us kept th
Laura's point of view:"I don't know about it, and I don't want to know!" Damien growled, trying not to let me finish my explanation. "That's not an excuse!" he interrupted me, not making any effort to hide his disappointment. "I was like an open book to you, but you... You never thought of me as your mate. I had to discover who my mate is from witches. Worse, you weren't even willing to trade the heart of your dead mate in exchange for me..." I couldn't hear much of what he was saying without standing up for myself. "If I had given them the heart, they would've killed you a long time ago. It was the only guarantee for you to stay alive." I moved closer to Damien, but he backed away from me. "Stay where you are!" he hissed at me as if he was disgusted by my presence. I looked at him strangely, not intending to get any closer to him. "Now what is it?" I asked him, and he answered, "I don't trust you anymore..." "Okay, don't!" I exclaimed with a fake smile on my face. "Do as you
Laura's point of view:I was sitting in Damien's office, facing Alan. Amira was sitting beside him, while Damien sat beside me. "So basically, you are both sisters from a previous life, and both of you are related to Alan and his mate?" Alan questioned, finding it hard to believe what we were saying. "That's right!" Alan confirmed, but he was far from convinced. "This is too much to believe. I mean, I did notice that she was quite different from other werewolves. I noticed that she had something to do with the mighty wolf that appeared in our battle. I noticed strange things happening around her..." "...You noticed all of that, and yet you refuse to believe that she is the Queen who built the entire kingdom?" Alan mocked Damien, trying to give him a clearer picture. "You know what? I know what to do." I pressed my lips against Damien's. You might wonder, what does a kiss have to do with our situation? Well, through that kiss, I shared most of my memories with him. When we broke
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,
