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
Jade’s Point of ViewI was gently sipping wine while glancing through a photo album, a smile etched on my face as my mind wandered from one thought to another. The photo album consists of the images of just one person, someone who I had fallen for and was prepared to give my heart to no matter the cost.That person was her King.Mia suddenly entered my room and shook her head at the sight of my daydreaming expression. “Jade! Snap out of it!” She snapped her fingers a few times before my face, bringing me back to reality.“Mia, what was that for?” I asked as a frown. I didn’t appreciate her friend’s intrusion.“I won’t interrupt you if it wasn’t important.” Mia immediately sat down beside me with a worried expression on her face.“What is wrong?” I carefully set the album aside.“I heard some rumors,” Mia looked around a few times, after confirming that we were all alone in the house, she continued. “The King is planning a Queen introduction ceremony, it will happen soon.”Unexpecte
Kayah’s Point of ViewThe buzzing sound, the chirping of birds and the soft whoosh as wind blows on the trees were all in my head. I suddenly opened my eyes abruptly and sat up on the bed. I glanced at the windows and at the door which was unlocked. I noticed that the space beside me was empty. I let out a sigh. Ever since Seven brought me back, he had not shared a room with me. He would only wait till I fell asleep before he left.I slowly walked out of my room, moved as quietly as I could, an art I had perfected over years of staying in my previous pack. I was finally able to get out of the house without alerting anyone. The sun was not out yet, it was a few hours past midnight and the moon was bright in the sky. Its warm glow fell on my figure, giving me comfort like a mother hugging her child.I started walking through a path. I needed to think about the events of the past few hours. One thing was sure, I was weak. This would be my biggest flaw in my attempt to win Seven’s he
Seven’s Point of ViewIf Sabrina was looking for my opinion , she wasn’t getting it. Judging her negatively would hurt her. I knew that. She let out a deep breath.“I could easily deal with him. He wasn’t a threat,” A teasing spark lit in her eye’s as if she’s thinking something. “With my wolf.”I noticed the glint in her eyes. I followed her and was watching from the shadows. I was looking forward to the showdown between her and the vampire. I heard a lot about how good Sabrina was when it comes to fighting. That’s why I had asked her hand to be my mate but I was worried that she would get hurt instead. Vampires are one hell of a fighter too. I never had the chance to meet her nor spar with her because it was forbidden. “Your wolf?” I couldn’t get the picture of her weak and delicate form out of my head.“She is back but still isn’t talking to me yet, I’m afraid she’s still upset over what happened the last time,” she said. “The last time?”“Yes,” she said. “My wolf is kind of s
Seven’s point of ViewAnother thing I had heard about Sabrina was her conservativeness which was another thing for me. “Heh, she’ll eventually give in if we were her mate,” my wolf scoffed. “Don’t be an ass. It’s a good thing we found a mate.”As I recalled the taste of her soft lips I grinned. My prideful wolf was taken aback by the slap hence the reason he acted an ass. She stared at me for a brief moment as she was led back by me to the private packhouse. I couldn’t sense that she was trying to read my mood, which was futile. “Maybe it wouldn’t hurt as much,” She muttered underneath her breath.With my enhanced hearing, I caught her words which fazed me. Hurt what?Soon, we saw the door she had gone through. I slapped the door shut, not caring whether it ripped off its hinges, the sound was loud enough to awaken the occupants of the guard house and soon two men were rushing out of their rooms.“Your highness.” Both men submitted to me.“Where were you when your Queen was le
Seven’s Point of View“She’s mine,” Alpha Axel screamed at me, his veins were popping, he wanted blood. “Formerly, yes,” I said as my eyes bore on his features. Alpha Axel was known as Demon Alpha. He’s the only one trusted by the Pack Royals and never dared to oppose. But not me. He owes me a lot. I spared his life. “Bastard,” he said, grinning his teeth. “Moon Goddess gave her to me! She was supposed to be mine!”I lazily sat on my throne and crossed my legs. “Let me remind you about our little secret, Axel. You said you’ll give me something in exchange for your life. Did you forget it already?”Axel swallowed. I watched his Adam apple going up and down due to mixed emotions. “I can give anything but not her. My pack will weaken without their Luna,” he said. “Because she was the last healer, that’s the reason, right?” I said. Axel’s eyes locked on mine. I could tell the hatred from layers of his emotions. “It's not that-”“Sabrina will be useful in your pack, Axel. I know you
Kayah’s Point of viewI rolled over, reaching for the other side of the bed but felt no one. I groggily opened my eyes and propped myself up in one elbow, stared blankly down at the blanket over me as I tried to clear the cobwebs from my head.The clock on the night table said it was after nine, my scrutiny said she was all alone in the room.It was to be expected, Seven was a King who had a lot of duties but it still hurts as he couldn’t make time for me. Besides the clock was a glass of water and I reached out to get it. I gulped down half a glass, partly because I was thirsty and partly to kick start my brain. I hissed loudly as I felt how swollen my lips were. “Pervert!” I glared at the glass like it was Seven. Of course, I knew who the culprit was and I couldn’t deny how giddy and flustered I felt.I had just put down the glass and was trying to piece together the event of the early hours in the morning, when the door opened and Cassandra stepped in. “You are awake, Good.” Sh
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
