Diane's POV(…a suspicious visit)She trembled towards the Alpha’s study after the sound ceased. The room was empty but the screens on the table were on, including the room light, which only meant the Alpha was still awake. She gulped down her fright and decided to stay with her brother. She bumped into a tall figure and let out a shrill cry. “What happened?”, he queried. It was her father. “I... I heard a groan at my window”, she stuttered and shivered as her eyes became wet from her frightened tears. The Alpha looked in terror, “That’s impossible. It’s probably one of the guards snoring”, he remarked as he pulled her along to her room. Nothing seemed out of place, on arrival. Diane watched fearfully as the Alpha pulled aside the cotton drapes. The fountain shimmered colorfully outside and the wolf statue stood innocently at the center of the garden. “There’s nothing here, Diane. You must be overthinking”, the Alpha concluded after replacing the drapes. “Now get some sleep”. The d
Diane's POV(…knight in shining armor)She watched as the blurry image of a tall muscular guy raised Tom and gave him a kick under his chin, making him swivel and fall to the ground. He forced him down to his knees in front of her , holding his hands tightly behind him. Diane looked up in astonishment at the features of Collins, smiling down at her. His expression dissolved immediately into a frown as he looked over Tom’s head and commanded, “Apologize.”Diane looked back on Tom’s contorted face as he tried to free himself from his grip. “Apologize!”, Collins roared this time. His angry voice sent chills into her as she watched. “Sorry”, Tom grumbled.“She didn’t hear you”, Collins jeered, pulling him by the hair.“I’m sorry”, he wailed, thereafter, Collins swung him sideways, approaching Diane, who sat still on the floor—in pain. Collins stretched a hand towards her, but supported her by the waist when she leaped in difficulty. She felt lightheaded as she regained her stamina. “Are
Diane's POV (…the perfect outfit) It was the end of a week. Diane had been thinking of the most noble way to sneak out of the palace without encountering the Alpha's rage. Earlier in the day, Nora had suggested to pick her up at the Palace's entrance which Diane agreed to, at her own peril. “The Alpha dropped a note for you and Prince Williams”, Bernie informed, as they arrived home that afternoon. Diane, who was more concerned about the evening party and how to arrive at the venue, payed no listening ear, assuming the content of the note to be on the adjustment of the time of her evening practice—like the Alpha seldom notified. She examined all of the clothes in her wardrobe after lunch, in search of the perfect outfit, till the room gradually grew into a mess. “ugh!“, she slumped on the heaps of clothes on her large bed, in exasperation. She wanted to make an excellent first impression. As the Alpha's daughter, her appearance should outdo every other attendees, she thought. She
Diane's POV(…mystery man)She gaped at his last comment, wondering what he was up to, as he sounded serious. But, she couldn't help fear for his life. Only a selected few were permitted into the Duke's residence and the camp of the pack's warriors was right behind the palace—there was only one entrance to the palace. At first she thought to spend the time primping but again laughed at the possibility and wiped off the smudged makeup. She heard a mild groan similar to one she heard some times back and immediately turned off the running water in fear, heading back into the room. “I guess you didn't believe me after all”, a voice said as Diane screamed in terror, before catching Collin's face by the window and staggered backwards, which made her bedlamp fall off the nightstand. She was still trembling when he spoke again, “I didn't know I'll scare you this much. You seemed brave”. She stood horrorstruck at him as her face dripped water from the previous face wash. “Diane!” Bernie's m
Diane's POV(…a new crush)It wasn’t her look that got her attracted, for she had a tanned skin tone and sad eyes. “I’ve never seen this face since I’ve been attending Charlie’s parties. First time, yeah?”, the girl asked. She was wearing a typical male outfit, puffing out smoke from her pipe.“Obviously”, Diane replied, as she ran her gaze over her features. She looked older than Nora, finally convincing herself as the youngest in the gathering. “I could tell. Nice dress. Melissa. You?”, the lady stretched a hand towards her. “Diane Duke”, she replied, taking her rough palm.“Alpha’s daughter. Pretty cool. Do you mind?”, she offered Diane her pipe. “Yes, thanks. I feel hot already”, she replied calmly, waving herself with her free hand.“You sure are.”, the girl gave a brief smile. “There’s a pool at the backyard. Wanna come?”They went out through the back door. Although, it was nothing like the one in the palace, the pool looked standard, aside empty cans floating over the surfa
Alex's POV(…a new standard)“There are lots of proofs, Alpha. The video says it all. Harry probably couldn't stop her”, the Beta explained.“I choose not to believe my daughter would ever go that length to soil my name. She was home last night according to Bernie. Although, she refused to open up to anyone till I came. You and I know it's impossible to leave the palace unnoticed”, Alex remarked blankly, with strong faith in his fortress. “I think you should ask her. If she denies it, then we can trace down the culprit and their reason for such infamous deed. But our major focus should be how she got out not her identity. She could be with whoever she wants”“Again. she never left the palace and Not my daughter, Mike!. She's the next Alpha. I can't believe you spit such folly from your mouth”, the Alpha hissed and got up in fury.“She should be waiting for me. Get me yesterday's report from the warriors. I heard of a suspicious movement at the borders last night” he commanded. He hea
Alex's POV(…karmic rebirth)“There you are. The Alpha has been expecting your arrival”, the professor interjected, as the door slammed close. Alex rose up immediately to have a full gaze at the lad. He looked fairer than the passport photograph of him.“It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Alpha”, the young man bowed politely and held on a smile. Without further Ado, Alex dived straight into the questions he had been storing up prior to his arrival, “How did you sneak my daughter, Diane, out of the palace?“The young boy cocked his head and replied, “I don't seem to understand, Alpha”“Aren't you Collins Marshall?“, Alex asked furiously“That's correct, sir…Alpha but, I haven't met your daughter, let alone dare to sneak her out”, he replied.Alex watched him closely as he spoke. He seemed to be saying the truth but his daughter couldn't lie to him either. He turned to the Professor, “You've a major query. You admitted this boy some years back without confirming his record on our dat
Alex's POV(…missing heir)He yelled at Bernie and every guard he could find, as they all scrambled around in search of Diane. Collins, whom he had suspected, was now standing in front of him and yet, his daughter still went missing unnoticed, again. “How difficult can it be to look after just one child?!“, he yelled at Harry, as other guards joined them in the fruitless search for the princess. “I'm replacing every single one of you. All!““Alpha!. I found something?“, the Beta, who had joined the search immediately it was announced, ran towards Alex.“Did you find her?!“, Alex asked, boiling in rage and fright for his daughter—the only hope for the future of the pack.“No, Alpha. We haven't found her. But I found a piece of paper in her room”, Mike replied.“You must be out of your mind. What has that got to do with my missing child?! If it's not a suicide note, it's of no value to me“, Alex hollered, pacing uncontrollably and informing the trained warriors and hunters of the pack.
A peaceful reign, a peaceful pack with the strongest of its kind. Meagan's father, Williams passed on happily after witnessing his daughter's ceremony. Congratulatory letters flew in daily from all parts of the region. The Alpha had gotten tired of reading through as she stumbled on a random note. “Congratulations Alpha. I'm glad you picked him over me but, I hope you don't regret your decisions soon. Cheers. Ray.”She smiled at the paper and squeezed it happily into the thrash. She had never regretted her decision. Her mate loved her even more than herself. “It still surprises me how you walked straight to me and said those words. I must have had a great resemblance with a simp. I couldn't hold back my tears,” Jason remarked as they held hands towards the pool. “I couldn't get over your mysterious eyes,”she replied with a chuckle. “What would have happened if I had rejected you instead?““I would be happy for you either ways. I didn't pass as the right mate for you after all my Fat
Meagan's POV(…the final battle)Larry continued to laugh hysterically until he emptied the keg. He climbed up the ladder as Meagan continued to hit her body against the glass until she transformed into her wolf form. “Rot in hades!“ Larry yelled from above the ladder as an lgnited lighter hit the ground. The fire traced the diesel so fast that the room was soon covered in a burning smoke. Meagan had mindlinked the pack and the warriors about Larry as she ordered for a rescue team. She kept on the attempt on the glass that was covered in flames as her body began to feel the intense heat. Her newly found father was lying helpless, holding on to his chest as he coughed vigorously. “The fire is alot. We can't get in, Alpha,” the leader of the rescue team mindlinked her as she hoped for the glass to give way to her hit. Finally, the glass began to crack as she increased her force. A massive fire extinguisher filled the room. The wolf that had come to their rescue joined in breaking down t
Meagan's POV(the first female Alpha)It was one night away from her enthronement. She had been receiving dignitaries from neighbouring packs as she helped in restoring their peace. Her life was more than perfect, or at least, better than what it used to be. She got an apartment for Ray pending the day of her enthronement as she thought to mark her mate the same night she became the Alpha.“We need to prepare the pyramid grounds and wash it clean. I will be away for a while, Alpha,” Larry announced to her one evening and left. She entered her room and prepared for a good rest. The thoughts of her enthronement has consumed her mind. What if she failed her mission? What If the moon goddess doesn't grant her the title? There was one person she could ring to feel better. She reached out for her phone and dialed Ray's number. They spoke for hours long until it encroached into her sleeping time. There was never a dull moment with Ray. A sharp movement from the outside of her windows distrac
Meagan's POV(…fated to two mates)She tried to retain her stern look but his sheepish look wasn't helping. How can she be heating for a monster like him? If you have nothing to say then, I'll pass my judgement” she announced again, in a bid to trigger a reaction but he kept on smiling at her as one who was at the verge of suffering a terrible mental relapse. “Don't kill him. Send him to the dungeon instead,” Arya remarked as she contemplated what verdict she was to pass. Trix had been away for a while, so Arya had been in control of her all along. She made up her mind and commanded, “Chain in down in the dungeons until he dies a natural death.“ The guards, whom she was yet to familiarize with, bowed before her and took out Xavier. She didn't know what to do with Jason yet, so she instructed him to be locked up with his father, until she had decided on what to do. “Congratulations, Meagan. Your mother must be beaming with pride from above,” Arya encouraged as she stared mistly at the
Jason's POV(…the last heir)“What do you think you're doing, son?“ the Alpha mindlinked him as they ceased normal communication. “Do you know how hard I've worked to get the throne? Do you know how powerful I've become amidst other neighboring packs? You must be out of your mind.““I'm out of my mind. I love her, father and I love you too. I can't leave anyone of you. It's the only way to avoid a heated war.““There would be no war if we kill her before her abilities return back and we both know it would be twice her previous power. It's a stupid idea to keep such a threat.““You asked for a mate—”The alpha interrupted, “Yes. I wanted a mate for you, not an Omega. This would never happen. I would rather die of my illness that watch her become the Alpha of the pack.““But, If she becomes my mate, we can both lead the pack. She would be a strong woman. Please, father. She has agreed. This is my one chance to lead a peaceful life like you always wanted. I'll never find a mate in anothe
Meagan's POV(…unexpected accomplice)“Who are you?“ Meagan asked, regretting why she was too weak to find out herself as the now human stranger refused to cease from patting her hair. “I wouldn't reveal my identity until you grant my request. You would want nothing from me if you ever find out but, my wish is that you don't see me as you used to.“Meagan was sure it wasn't Ray but it had a close resemblance to Larry's voice, only with a touch youthfulness and pain. “I'll tell a short story and therafter you can do whatever you want with me, and the baby. Shall I proceed?“Meagan, who knew her choices were limited, agreed, “Yes.““A girl child was raised by a single mother and grew up to hate males, after assuming all men were alike. She treated every man she knew with contempt until she met a man whom she loved so dearly. But, the man she loved was an enemy to her mother. But soon, she realized her mother was the enemy. Not to forget that this man was severely tortured by her mother
Meagan's POV(…under the full moon)“I've just two questions for you. Firstly, how did you find out about my weakness to human blood? Secondly, how did you find your way into my room that night? You've two minutes to respond,” Jason raged as red spark flew across his watery eyes Meagan was confused. She had no idea of what he accused her of. “Don't give me that innocent look. It's the same crime you're been punished for. I want to know the others involved. You couldn't have done it alone and I'll make sure everyone involved is brought to book. So, start talking.““I was never in your room and I know nothing of your weakness.”“The CCTV coverage found you on the corridor that night. It's pointless to lie to cover up for anyone or do you want to suffer alone? Speak!“Meagan realized she was framed for a different offense she never committed. “I didn't enter your room that night. It was the kitchen. I don't know anything about it.“Jason gave her a long stare as though realizing a conn
Meagan's POV (…childhood crush turns mate) He paused abruptly on hearing her voice. “How did you know that?“ “I had a best friend when I was in the human community. We attended the same school until…” Meagan's words turned into a bitter wail as she remembered how much she had suffered for years. “It's nothing. Life has never been fair to my family,” she concluded as she gulped down the few drops of water she had for the day. “Meagan?“ the man called out as he wore a confused look approaching her slowly. They both held their gaze on eachother as they realized the truth. “Is this really you?“ He squatted in front of her as they both gaped at each other. “How did you get here? How long have you worked with the Alpha?“ She asked as they collapsed into a hug. “Goodness! Meagan. It's hard to believe. You disappeared for a long time without notice only to find you in this condition? How did it happen?" "it's a long sad story, Ray. I don't wanna talk about it" "I can't watch you
Meagan's POV(…Trix reacts)She instinctively looked around her. Jason was truly nowhere to be found. How did the Alpha find out? she asked herself as she made sure there were no traces on the night of her escapade. At first, Meagan tried to comfort herself as she knew it had been impossible for the Alpha to terminate her life because of her powers which Larry attested to. “I kept you alive to breed my pack but you don't deserve to live. You're just like your kind. I should have known better then to keep you alive.“ “Are you just going to sit there without taking actions? If Jason is Ill then the potion Larry talked about is working,” Trix remarked violently as Meagan bowed still, dreading the Alpha's next move. “He can't hurt you, remember? This might be your only chance to get him out of the way and allow the kingdom bow to a new alpha. Do it, Meagan,” Trix ordered as she began to stir her up while the Alpha continued a show of emotional outburst. “Remember Larry said the action de
