Kayah’s Point of ViewSeven probably expected me to disagree, argue with him or even throw tantrums but none of that happened. My docile actions made him feel happy. I could see it. “Come on.” He took my hand in his and led me out of the room. “We are having breakfast with some of the important royal members.”“Why?” I demanded.Seven didn’t get angry.“Because you have to.”I was nervous. Why do I have to meet his royal members so soon? I have to be careful.“Just for a proper introduction,” he said.I didn’t even notice that there were no guards in the hallway, I was staring at the ground as they walked, thinking about how the breakfast might end up being a disaster. “You are a healer, you submit to no one else but me. Do not show anyone a weak side, only me can see that side of you. You are their leader, everyone else but me is below you. Raise your head!” Seven ordered in a cold tone of voice that gave no room for objection.It was like something clicked at the back of my mind
“Are you the Lady?” The boy asked the question in his mind, probably even in the minds of everyone that was present. They were probably curious but they dare not voice out their questions in fear of upsetting their King.“Yes, my name is Sabrina Moonheart.” I lied as I subconsciously touched the tiara on my head.“You are a real healer!” The boy said a little too loud then he turned his head, looking for his mother who was sitting several seats away. “Mama! I told you! She is like a princess from the fairytales. Do you have a prince too?”I quickly glanced at Sevenl with a genuine smile. “In fact, I do.”“Is it me?” The child asked.I burst into laughter at the child’s innocent question but someone besides her didn’t find it funny. I could feel something rising from him.“No silly, It’s not you but I have a special role for you, why don’t you be my protector? What do you say?” I placed a hand over Seven in an attempt to console him.“I accept, but can I get chocolate, lots of them.” T
Kayah’s Point of ViewPanic filled my heart, at that moment, I lost all control of my emotion as my heart started racing. My thoughts were in a jumbled mess in my mind. I nervously bit my lip, trying to come up with a solution to my recent predicament. It was easy to fool others that I was the Healer but it would take more effort to pass off as her before her parents. How would they not know the behavioral pattern of their daughter?I never imagined that I would have to meet Sabrina’s parents so soon, it had slipped off my mind and now it’s back to bite me in the butt.Seven probably noticed the change in mood but I couldn’t let him see the fear in me. I would never want him as my enemy. He placed a hand over mine which was under the table, to silently reassure me. “Sabrina, this is Lucas. He is my cousin and beside him is his mate, Yesha.”I was snatched out of my own little world by Seven. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, please lift your heads.” I smiled at the pair of couples who
. Kayah’s point of View“What?” I couldn’t help but ask.“My lady the King is upset,” Yesha started with a pleading expression.“Why should he be?” Genuine confusion appeared on my face. “I was the one that was just ordered not to do any cooking.”“But Queen-” Kelsey whined.“Kelsey, I didn’t do anything wrong. Why would he be upset?” Both Cassandra and Kelsey now truly understood how clueless I was. “Where do you think Brian would be? I would like to relieve some stress by baking.”I was trying to think of ways to either avoid meeting Sabrina’s parents or pass off perfectly as their daughter. It was nerve wracking. I found thinking easier when I was baking at the same time and it was something I wanted to do right away with hopes that it yielded positive results..“His highness just forbade you from doing any form of cooking, your Majesty.”“Can you not tell him?” I tried to be convincing.“I’m sorry Queen, but we can’t hide it from the King. It would make him enraged.”“Fine! I’l
Seven’s Point of viewI was in a ring, watching two warriors locked in hand-to-hand combat.In a fight, there is meant to be a winner and a loser but none of the men wanted to be the loser as the consequences would be frightening.All of a sudden, I felt uncomfortable and a searing pain overwhelmed me. In my head was a chant from my wolf. “I can’t feel mate! Mate is gone! Find our mate!’ The words were incomprehensible at first but once I was able to make out the words, I felt my aura became colder, forcing everyone present to submit. I was trying to think rationally and knew that flying into blind rage would not help.I can’t lose her.“YOUR QUEEN IS NO LONGER IN OUR GROUNDS. FIND HER!” I ordered and speedily rushed away, I didn’t give any explanation to my warriors as there was no time to waste.Lucas' eyes widened in panic, he was probably worried about what would happen next. “Who dares to take the Queen before I could spar with her!?” Lucas arranged the warriors into differe
Kayah’s Point of View“No one is coming to save you, I already injected you with something that would dull your mate bond. Without his mark, King Seven would not be able to sense your absence for a very long time.” My abductor still had a quirky smirk on his face, he was very sure of his well-laid-out plans. “I will give you a minute to think of a good response to my question before I shed all pretense.”He did not wait for my response and left the room. My eyes darted around, looking for something, a sort of weapon for protection. I knew that Seven would come for me once he discovered my disappearance but I had to stay alive before he showed up. I discovered that it wasn’t easy to be the healer, the shoe was too big for me and the tiara was many times as heavy.I didn’t care to think of how my abductor got to know that I wasn’t the deal as my eyes fell on a used syringe. A scenario appeared in my mind, leaving faster than it came but left a deep impression on me. For the first t
Kayah’s point of ViewThe look on Seven’s face was solemn, he took a few more glances at the figure in the center of his bed and that was me. The silence was stiffening and I couldn’t tell what was on his mind. Unlike others, whom I could easily read, Seven was different. I replayed the encounter with my abductor in my head, wondering if Seven had overheard their conversation. Just the thought of it made me swallow hard, followed by a hiss of pain“Are you okay?” Seven inquired before rising up from where he was sitting. He slowly approached the bed with a glass of water.“Yes.” I muttered as she tried to sit up. Her neck was bruised from when her attacker had clutched her.I noticed Seven sniffing the air. I saw a little bit of confusion but he found himself leaning closer to my neck where my scent gland was.I froze, I didn't even flinch. Even though I found it uncomfortable to be around people I wasn’t familiar with. Seven was my mate and him being around me was comforting. He
Kayah's Point of ViewEven though I tried, I could not prevent the blush that crept on my face. When he spoke, the look in his eyes was so deep and intense, it threatened to overwhelm me but it wasn’t scary as I could also feel warmth from them. In an attempt to divert his attention. “Tell me about your Kingdom?”“It’s ours,” Sevenl took my hands and began tracing it with his fingers. Everywhere he touched was tingling. “We have a large territory, equal to the royal pack. There are about five thousand people in the kingdom about seventy percent are able to protect themselves in case of danger. The other thirty percent are made up of mostly women and children, they train but not as much as the others but they would be led to the underground bunker in case of any unforeseen events.”“Don’t you have to deal with spies?”“There are certain ways to deal with them. About what happened today, I promise to get to the root of the matter and give you an explanation.”“It is alright, it wasn’t
Axel’s Point of ViewLancelette was what most people pictured when they thought of a warrior with an ability to talk to the Moon Goddess. A priestess if you call it. Taller than normal she-wolf and perfect shoulders made to worship the Goddess. Her slightly muscled arms told a tale of strength and her scars of survival. Like all weres, she did not scar easily so the fact that she had any showed she had survived what few could. She has been alive longer than my father and yet her appearance never changed for she claimed she saw the Goddess herself. She was favored. She wore a blank face, her eyes alert and her movements precise and minimal. "Alphas." He bowed to the room and then turned to face my father. "How may I serve you.""Lancelette." My father acknowledged. "We need your ability to reveal the truth of someone."There was a slight pause before she gave a firm nod. We all knew Lancelette used her gift.to judge someone whether they were good or bad. Though the Shadow's End pack
Axel’s Point of View"Axel," my mother's sister chirped in. "We all want what's best for you."Anger rose up inside me, a living thing like nothing I had ever felt before. I had always been an easygoing guy and couldn't remember the last time he had been angry. Now I felt nothing but anger. Blood rushed to my head and I saw red, my wolf rose and I was sure it showed in his eyes."And the best for me is to spend the next century or more living in hell?" Shaking my head, I turned to walk out."Axel!" My father's voice was a command, for all it was quiet. Despite retiring, he still has the power to command me.I didn't want to listen, but for all my anger this was my father and the Alpha before me. Biting my teeth, I turned to face him. He had been quiet all this time listening, whatever he had to say though I would not listen if it had anything to do with abandoning my mate. That I would never do."We are not finished here,” he stated. "You will not disrespect us by walking out.”Still
Axel’s Point of ViewI ran my hand through my hair and sighed. To think all I had been looking forward to a dull night and spent the night sleeping. Now he had a mate who was looking for the slightest reason to run for the hills. A mate who was pregnant and scared.Never in my wildest dream that she’ll be here, running away from Seven. At first I think she was Sabrina, the infamous healer but now I know she’s someone else. And now that she’s here, there’s no turning back. She was an enigma as was her friend and aside from the pull of mates I found her intriguing. Life, I suspected, would never be dull with her. I wasn’t even surprised by my non-reaction to her pregnancy. Most wolves would have resented her unborn child, maybe even demanded she terminate her pregnancy but I hadn't even thought about that.She had actually had the guts to challenge my Uncle Von and my highbreed cousin, one of the most feared Alphas out there. That took guts and had impressed the heck out of him. Not so
Kayah’s Point of ViewI still had doubts about putting myself at the mercy of the pack. I still thought the whole pack system was a great evil considering my old pack but circumstances were out of my hands. After giving my trust to the system all my life, never questioning that trust had been betrayed in an instant. I would rather not make the same mistake twice or return to the Rogue side…I wondered though what other alternatives there might be. It was all ending a feral. No one survived long and succumbed to their wolves. Ferals preyed upon humans and were alike. They would often hunt omegas to breed on taking what they would with little regard for the damage they caused. Unaligned wolves were particularly vulnerable to them but the packs were no better.They had at best loyalty to their own and did not treat the occasional unaligned wolf with any compassion. While the ferals just killed them on sight. The only thing I could think of was that we were both very tired. The surrou
Kayah’s Point of View“You have a beautiful name.”When he smiled again I wanted to punch him, just so that I could stop feeling for butterflies. Surely if he had fewer teeth his smile would stop being so perfect and melting my brain cells."I'm Axel.""Am I supposed to say 'it's a pleasure meeting you'?" I asked, wanting to burst his good mood just so he could show his true colours and how ruthless he was.Another smile, I snorted and he laughed. "Yes, finding a mate is a pleasure," he shot me a teasing grin. "Especially a mate like me."I had to be coming down with something. The fluttering in my heart and stomach could not be normal. Nor was the heat that melted my limbs so that I had to consciously lock my legs to keep on standing.He held out his hand to her. "Come and meet my mother,” He invited.A mother who would be the former Luna, who would be able to override his apparent decision to keep me as his mate. What mother would want his son saddled with me? I couldn't decide i
Kayah’s Point of View"Are all Alphas the same as you?”The man before me claimed that he was my mate. The words had left my mind when I accepted Seven and out of nowhere, I had a mate and none other than the Demon Alpha where killing was nothing for him. I hadn't thought he would stand there coolly regarding me as if we were having freaking morning tea or something. In fact, I never expected things like this. “You knew we had a mate?” I asked my wolf. “Yes.”“Since when?”“During the mating ball. I already met him but I chose Seven,” she replied as if this demon Alpha never interested her. “How dare you!? How dare you choose someone who was never ours!”“I chose someone who can protect us!”“And our mate can’t? Look, I could have the real me with him. I don’t have to pretend like someone else. “He’s- ugh forget it.”“You put us in danger! Look what happened to us! We’re like a fugitive running away from the most dangerous wolf in the world!”“Okay whatever. My mistakes. I'll let
Axel’s Point of ViewI didn’t want to go hunt for the invading ferals, but I hadn't been given a choice. Joros isn't home yet from the western border of my lands. I’m not really in the mood of going out since the encounter between me and the Rogue king, not to mention it was my birthday, damn it.I shouldn't have to spend the night hunting good-for-nothing wolves who enjoyed preying on decent Weres. But as the alpha, the protection of the pack was my duty.There was a party in my honour as my mom said. She invited plenty of unmated she-wolves from all over who had come hoping to be the Luna of the pack. Many of them were willing to go to second or third base with me. But none of that excites me. The thing that excited me was to find my mate. I just want to rest and be alone but my parents left me no choice. My gamma and delta would be hosting my party while I was stuck hunting some scrawny ferals. Surely the thirty warriors going to the hunt did not need me, especially with my capabl
Axel’s Point of ViewSince the day I lost my mate to the Rogue King, I lost the will to live. My people suggested that I take another Luna. I told him that the Rogue King took my mate and that I couldn’t do anything about it. I fought hard but what puzzled me most was that she never recognized me. It was odd.“Brother, Dad wanted to tell you not to forget your own birthday. You have been coping inside your office,” my brother Isaac said as he entered my office without knocking. If he was someone else, he’d already be dead. "You worry yourself more than I worry for you, Isaac. I'll be fine. I can take care of myself."“Mom said they’ll celebrate your twenty-eight birthday tomorrow.”“I don’t need a birthday, okay? I’m fine. Go and take care of the young warriors,” I replied, without sparing him a glance. “Brother-”“I’m okay, okay? You don't have to worry.”With one last try to convince me, I let Isaac walk away and watched as he started to train the young wolves.It should be Joros
Kayah’s Point of View“I’m taking you to the most trusted pack,” Lisa told me after a week of being together. My condition has worsened. According to her, I needed medical attention since I was carrying a rogue’s heir.She said the rogue's babies were special. They will drain their mother’s life force if not monitored. “Okay,” I replied and we started our journey as we evaded Seven’s keen eyes. One night as we were approaching the pack that Lisa told me, we were ambushed by hungry Ferals. There were four of them and there were only two of us. I knew Lisa was capable but I’m not sure if I could protect myself and the baby. “Be careful, Kayah,” Lisa warned me as she lunged against the feral who was going against her.One of the ferals stepped closer to me as he bore his canines on me and leapt to attack me. I bared my canines at him in anger as I punched the wolf. It sent him flying a good distance from me. I thank Seven for teaching me how to fight and those restless training. The
