Axel's POV “Even if witches are said to be undefeatable, shouldn't we, at least try to make preparations, should in case she attacks? This matter is not a joke, both our prestige, reputation, and existence is at risk here. Imagine losing a piece of land to these people, wouldn't we turn to a sheep, whose wool is ready to be exploited?” Exalia suddenly chimed in, speaking for the first time.Truthfully, her words were reasonable, and no one could refute it.It was true that witches are overpowered beings, with magic under the tip of their fingers. Moreover, that Alpha King must have sacrificed something in return for help from the witch.One thing about witches was their persistence. They would do anything to achieve their goals, and I'm not sure if I can handle an attack from a witch at the moment. Moreover, we don't even know what they have in their plans. Assuming we have a clue, it would be easier to take precautions. “Then, what should we do to prepare? We should not forget tha
Axel's POV Exalia spoke up at this moment, “Also, our movement is being monitored by our enemies as well, so we should be careful of what we do. I advise we do everything secretly, lest they get news of our plans. Most of them should have gotten the news of the witch, so they must be preparing, and they might want to imitate us. If they do, our plan will definitely be exposed, and we would have even more enemies. So, it would be better if we keep our plans inside.” She explained calmly. This time, no one refuted because she was utterly right. Our lands were at stake here, and if those people get hold of them, it would be a massive catastrophe as others will begin to stretch out their claws.Furthermore, if we don't retain the position of the Victor, we would have to give out three portions of our lands, that's almost the same thing as giving everything out. To make things worse, they would be the one to choose the portion of land they wanted, and we must agree or else, the remaini
Axel's POV“Ignore that.” I instructed calmly, not bothering to glance back at the door. I didn't have that much patience to bother about who could be.The Alphas nodded without rebutting, and I turned to the Alpha who just spoke up, “Increase the vigilance in all the packs, the patrol guards should also increase. We must be vigilant at all times.” I stated in a grave tone, and they all nodded in agreement. Bernard spoke up, “The weapons and equipments are ready for use, we can handpick the better ones after the gathering, and allocate the weapons to the warriors.” I nodded in satisfaction, the blacksmithing chamber had never delayed, and it was no exception this time when it's a crucial moment. Just then, another persistent knock rang out once again, and a commotion from outside the chamber fell into my ears.“I need to go in, this is very important.” An anxious voice rang out, and I knitted my brows in displeasure. “No, you can't go in. There's an important meeting going on insi
Exalia's POV An ominous feeling took place in my chest, followed by anxiety that made my palms clammy with sweat.A strange death? Why does it sound similar to the dream I had last night?An Alpha spoke up doubtfully, “It's different from an ordinary chronic flu? How?” He asked, staring at the man named Julian fixedly. The memory from the dream emerged in my mind once again - the way those people dropped to their death without even knowing how, and countless graves that signifies how several people had already died.I pressed my lips into a thin line, before turning to look at Axel, I parted my lips, but no words came out. What could I say? I dreamt people were dying, but so? I didn't dream of how I could be of help.Moreover, it's just a pack, and it's only a few people who lost their lives. It might be simply an ordinary flu that was left untreated for many days, according to Axel.I didn't dare to say anything, and merely watched on with knitted brows, while numerous thoughts flo
Axel's povSeveral voices rang out, but the report was the same. The deaths of countless people, and the cause was unknown. “What are the Physicians saying?” I asked coldly, and Jay shook his head. “They claimed to have not seen a situation like that before.” He replied while trembling, and I paused, contemplating. My eyelids jumped, and a sense of unease swept through my heart, making me stiff on my seat. But, as an Alpha King, I didn't dare to lose my composure.Just then, another warrior rushed in, and I stiffened when I saw who it was. It was one of my elite warriors, but at that moment, he was covered with perspiration from head to toe.A look of sheer terror was plastered on his face, and he seemed breathless. When his gaze fell on me, he fell to his knees before reporting coldly, “My Lord, there's bad news.” His voice was steady, and calm even though his eyes were fearful. I suddenly felt a bad inkling, “What happened?”Brian began, “My Lord, several people fell ill at onc
Axel's pov I turned to Bernard as well, “After the meeting, make sure that our warriors are okay. If this illness spreads to our warriors, then it would be a disaster, the Border Exchange would even be pointless this time. Furthermore, assign some men to send those spies away from our doorstep. Having them know about all these things would ruin our chances in the exchange as well.”The series of instructions filled the room with an air of solemnity and tension, none of the Alphas spoke up as each of them had contemplative looks on their faces.“We need to find the cause and cure, before we can do anything. And, Old man Harrick is the only person that can help us, I'm not sure if we would be able to find someone else.” Ronan suddenly mentioned, but he was addressing the group of Alphas.I nodded in agreement, “Now, we can only rely on our physicians. Send the news to your people, we don't know how infectious this disease is, so anyone having rashes or boil should be sent to the clinic
Exalia's POV The scholarly Alpha suddenly exclaimed, and I nodded with complex emotions. It turned out that my dream was coming true. Definitely, that black figure should be the witch behind the occurrence in each pack. I added, “Witches are the only beings with the ability to make such a level of destruction take place, and our only witch rival is this witch from the North. Didn't you say that they've been quiet for days? This must be what they are preparing for. The unsure thing is if this disease has reached the other poles, or it's just in our land.” I explained, trying to keep my voice as neutral as possible. I would rather not tell them that thousands of people would still die during this period because I didn't know how I could stop it or even help in reducing the casualties. Yet, I could feel Axel's gaze on my body, and I hurriedly looked away. He's sensitive, so he must have noticed something wrong, but I don't even know how to explain to him.After a while, his gaze lef
Exalia's POV The weight of urgency seemed permeable around the clinic, as smells of herbs and blood filled the air.The clinic was bustling with life and death likewise, with clamors and cries of piercing through the air sharply.Women clutched their children tightly, with faces covered in blood, dust and tears, each of them having a look of desperation in their pale faces.Even men were no different, no one pretended to be strong, as they conveyed their fear, grief, and pleas in the most direct way.“Why aren't you attending to my husband? He's dying!” A woman wailed painfully as she clenched the arms of a young man, who was making his way over.“Madam, please wait, we will attend to each one of you.” The man tried to placate her gently, but his smile was forced.They don't even have the cure, so how could they attend to them? He's merely trying to console her. The woman endeavored to grab him again, but he quickly slipped away from her hold.The young man rushed out of the clinic,
Exalia’s POVAfter a few more hours of sailing in peace and fun and laughter, our ship finally cut through the last stretch of the sea.“Alex, we’re finally almost home,” I said in excitement, grabbing his hands and dancing like a happy child who had just received a Christmas gift from Santa Clause.“Calm down, calm down, relax your self and behave yourself,” he said, trying to calm me down but I could not help it, I was just too excited, and no one could even calm me down or ask me to stop rejoicing. If Alex had felt half of what I felt about our home, he would have understood the reason why I was so excited that we were finally home, and he wouldn’t ask me to calm down.He would even join me to celebrate.And we saw the coastlines of our kingdom far off like a promised land in the distance.I smiled deep within me, I was home at last, and I would not lie; the vacation had been a very fun and interesting one. I rested my back on the railings, and the wind blew softly against my hai
Exalia’s POVIn the heat of the moment, Alex sprung to feet immediately, as alert as ever.His voice was low and hard, when he called on Ryk and Dane.“Ryk,Dane, get the others ready. Exalia and Tasha, please do well to come with me, so we find out what they want.”The biggest of the pirate ship positioned in front of our ship and one of the men brought out a chain, and used it to hook our ship.The two ships were now hooked together by a big black chain, these humans were really joking with their lives.Suddenly, a dozen haggard looking humans swung into our ship, they looked like touts or cultists, and they carried pistols and rusted cutlasses. Low budget pirates, I bet they thought they had stumbled into easy prey, fools!Their captain who was apparently their leader, was a middle aged call clownish looking man with a patchy beard.He came forward and twirled a blade.“Well well well,” he sneered, grinning and revealing his dirty yellow teeth.“Fancy ship with fancy folks in it, k
Exalia’s POVWhen the champagne bottle reached my turn, I took a gulp and it was quite sharp on my tongue.I was not the type to drink such drinks.I then handed it over to Alex.He smiled and tried to tease me, “Exalia, you’re an adult, you’re above eighteen years old. Please don’t tell me a gulp of champagne is making you shiver like a little baby,” he mocked, grinning with his teeth wide open.“Are you going to take your own gulp, or you prefer to say things that are not profound?” I asked, whispering into his ears, so that only he could hear what I said.He gave me a side eye and took the bottle from my hands, and his eyes glinted with a mischievous look, Alex was a silly old man.“Okay everyone,” he said, shining his teeth and grinning.“To kicking some ass and to popping champagne and drinking on the way home,” he said, pouring down so much of the liquid into his throat.We all burst into a fit of laughter, even Dane fell rolled on the ground, and Tasha lost her footing and fell
Exalia’s POVAfter about ten minutes, Alex came out from the bathroom and his towel covered his body. He looked as handsome as ever as the water dripped down his hair and onto his face then to the ground below.“Well, i hope you did not finish all the hot water,” I said, not even giving him time to breath or rest.He looked at me and shrugged his shoulders, and deep down in my heart, I knew he must be tired of me, because I was really fund of disturbing him so much. Not everyone could tolerate the way a woman would treat them like the way Alex did to me.Sometimes, when I looked at Alex, I saw a humble, gentle and great leader, and I was often very proud of him.I also felt honored to be the Luna and queen of such a wonderful Alpha king like Alex.I know that he we every girls dream, if I was not his Luna, and If he had not yet chosen a mate and married by now, many girls would have been flocking around him in the palace everyday.Many of them would even go out of their way to get h
Exalia’s POV After everything, we all looked for a nearby hotel to rest for the night.“Let’s get a nice hotel to sleep this night,” Alex said, ordering us all to leave the scene.We had all thrown the dead bodies of the creatures into the sea, and they had sunken deep down already.“Tomorrow morning, we head back to the palace.”I was happy that he had finally made the decision and concluded that we would be returning home tomorrow, that was the only thing I wanted to hear right now.Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoyed my self out here in the Caribbean, but i wanted us to go home, especially as these creatures had attacked us here.Once we got back home, the first thing I was going to do was call Yara and her African brothers and ask them if there’s a way we can eliminate these creatures for good.Come to think of it, it was now becoming like a curse, and it was embarrassing.How would it be that everywhere one went to, these stupid creatures would just show up and start to cause c
Alex’s POV There was a lot of joy in my heart and I was super excited that the last one of the monsters had finally fallen.I shifted back into my guns form and I figured I was so dirty with blood and slight bruises all over my body. Blood flowed down my ribs, and I felt some pain, similar to a muscle pull on my ankle.Exalia was soon with me in a flash, she had also turned back into her human form, and her beautiful silver fur was gone.She examined my minor injuries with her fingers, and I could see that she was not happy about it at all, she seemed sad.“Are you okay?” She asked with a tight and sober voice, she didn’t look so good.“Yeah,” I replied, trying to hide the fact that my bones hurt and I was in slight pain.“How are you holding up?” I asked her.“Hmmm, I’m good,” she said but she stared at the ocean as if she was expecting something.The waves were restless and they splashed as if they were angry at something.Ryk, Tasha and Dane appeared in front of us, and they look
Alex’s POV“Tasha! Right behind you!” I barked, as I saw another monster running towards her direction, it was definitely angry that it’s brothers had been slain by us.But I did not even need to worry myself that much because Dane was already in control. He moved slowly and stalked it as if he were a ghost, then as he got closer, he threw binder on it with a very deadly force that before the creature even knew what was going on, it had already been covered. It roared and spun, then it began to twist its body and roll on the floor, in an attempt to get Dane of its body, but Dane was a top tier military guy, and he was specially trained and built to withstand pressure and fight to the death. Soon, the bar had already been trashed and it was in a total mess. I felt very bad for the owners of this bar because what had been destroyed was their properties and it amounted to a lot of money.Tables were destroyed and glasses were smashed to pieces. There was not a single human being in

Alex’s POVThere was no time to start think or hesitating, I allowed my body to shift easily and my fur tore through my skin, my bones began to crack and soon, I was on all four limbs.I was getting really frustrated, Infact i was already frustrated, because the attacks were already getting to much.Perhaps, when we got back home, I would discuss with Yara and her African brothers on how to permanently eradicate these creatures for good, but for now, it was time to teach them a very bitter lesson. I soon landed hard, I was very big and gigantic in my wolf form, and I was fierce and ready to take on any one and anything.Exalia was right beside me, she had turned too, and she looked like she coul conquer the world,she we a gallant warrior.The over protective spirit in me always made me forget the fact that Exalia was a White Wolf, and she was a lunari.She was the most powerful werewolf of our generation, but I always wanted to protect her due to the fact that she was a lady, and she
