The Supreme Alpha POV
“We can only hope” he said, and it almost looked like he smiled at me.
I smiled back, and his smile fainted as quickly as it appeared.
“I’m sorry, but you have your mothers smile”
“My mother? You knew my mother?” I asked, feeling somewhat assaulted by his sudden outburst.
“Yes I knew your mother! She was kind and gentle, and I was heartbroken, when I heard that she died” he answered.
“She was killed!” I correct him.
“By your father?”
“Yes” I answered shortly not really liking where this conversation was going.
“Why?” he asked sounding out of breath
“She poisoned me, and my dad sentences her to death by his own hand”
“So, it’s true. I didn’t believe it. She loved you more than anything. She would have given her life for you.”
“And so she
Luke POVI felt prepared and ready, like this was what I had been waiting for whole my life.We were standing in a line outside of the arena. We were 8 pledgers in total. Three pledgers from our pack; me, Kate, and the asshole Tomas. Tomas was the favorite among all the pledgers. He was built like a machine, like he was carved out stone. Muscle I didn’t even know excited were outline perfectly on him. He was the kind man with an eightpack instead of a sixpack. He didn’t look like an 18-year-old boy – he looked like a man or a Greek god.The other 5 pledgers were from the other three packs. Alpha Mazon hadn’t allowed any of his packmembers to pledge to the Supreme due to her being a woman. So left was 1 pledger from Alpha Lucian pack in the mountains, and 2 pledgers from the pack in the north and 2 from the in south. Just likes their alphas, they didn’t say much, but all were looking fierce and beyond ready.I caught the other
The Supreme Alpha POVI watched as she fell to the ground, her body limbless and her skin turning pale.I felt Luke’s agony as my own as he ran towards her, ripping the big grey wolf off of her and pulling her close to him.Up till then it had been exciting to watch the pledger on the obstacle course. Tomas, Kate, and Luke had done a surprisingly good job. Luke and Kate had helped one another throughout the course and their ability to support and endorse each other was a sight for sore eyes. Their teamwork were impeccable, and Kate amazed me more than any of the other pledgers. She moved both quickly and elegantly through the course. And I clearly underestimated her.Tomas psychic and size were incredible. A more suitable warrior, you wouldn’t find.One of Lucian pledgers caught my eye as well, but as he fell on his ass after attacking Kate, he was out.Luke had used hit wit to complete the different tasks and very smartly used t
Mathias had lost it! Openly attacking the Supreme was a certain death sentence.Didn’t he hear her small weak whimper? The whimper that meant that there was still hope, that Kate was still alive.It was like he turned mad filled with rage somehow all directed at the Supreme Alpha.I couldn’t let him hurt either of them. Some part of me loved them both.The Supreme didn’t get up to fight him or flee the scene. She stayed by Kate’s side and leaned over her using her body to shield Kate from the attack coming to towards them.I jumped in front of Mathias’ wolf as he tried to attack the Supreme and dep into all my strength buried deep inside of me where my wolf resonated.I held his wolf’s head as he tried to rip me into pieces.“GO!” I screamed at her, and she got up immediately and carried Kate with her.Beta Steffan and Alpha Lucian were on their feet and pinned Mathias down. Steff
The Supreme POVI felt weak, but that was the prize of my actions.24hours had gone and as natural part of the trials we always had a big ball to celebrate the different packs and their pledgers before the ceremony the following day, where I would choose those I would take with me.But I was so tired almost not even being able to stand on my legs. Healing took a lot more of an effort than its opponent. And being able to balance the two was hard, but if it was easy then the Moon Goddess would have gifted it upon all her beloved wolves. It sounded so simple being able to heal and save whoever I wanted, but giving life always come with a prize and to give, you must take.We had been staying at Alpha Lucian accommodations, provided by Alpha Ezrod, not wanting to return to my tent even though I knew that Kate had went home and that Luke was staying with her.I hadn’t seen Luke or Kate since the trials, but by the way I was feeling, I knew she woul
Luke POVI went home to get ready for the ball and more important to see my aunt Lucy. I had been too busy making sure that Kate was okay, not leaving her sight, that I forgot all about my aunt.Me and Kate had left early to eat breakfast and talk before the trials, so I didn’t even say goodbye to her before I left.She must have been worried sick seeing us the leave the arena, but now that I thought about it I didn’t remember seeing her there. But then again I were too busy not dying and completing the trials that she could have been there without me even noticing.Lately I tended to forget my surroundings around the Supreme, like she was the only thing that mattered. Even though I had been taken care of Kate or at least trying to, my thoughts had been circling the Supreme. Kate thought I were both annoying as well as overreacting, not knowing how close she had been to dying. But I kept my promised to Alpha Lucian and avoided Kate&rsquo
Luke POVThe great hall was decorated with candle lights and white almost luminating flowers everywhere. A great buffet with lavish dinning adorned the hall and the round tables for dining wore decorated with beautiful center pieces. There was a life band playing soft music in the background and a dance floor for later use with sparkling lights flowing over the it.At the end of the hall was a throne like seating arrangement for the Supreme Alpha and the alpha’s.I looked around trying to spot somebody I knew, but I couldn’t see neither my aunt nor Kate anywhere.I felt a tap on my shoulder, and I turned around.A light pink almost nude dress with a princess seam style embellished Kate’s body and she looked like something out of a fairytale.“You look beautiful” I said and smiled at her kissing her hand.“Me!? What about you! Damn Luke, you look, I mean.. wow…!” she said alle flustered.
The Supreme Alpha POVLucian helped me to my seat as Steffan walked away and into the crowd. This kind of thing wasn’t him and he thought it to be more of a spectacle and a charade than an actual social gathering of fun.As I was seated I was admiring Luke’s transformation. He looked so handsome in his new silver suit, and I was glad he received it in time. I could see he felt confident in it and that the other girls in the room suddenly were noticing him. Especially Kate.The boy was slowly turning into a man.I felt a hand on my wrist and noticed Lucians worried eyes on me.“Are you okay?” he asked. “Please don’t take it the wrong way, you look ravishing as always, even more tonight, but you seem off”“Thank you for your concern, but I will be alright” I smiled politely feeling weaker by the minute.Before he could continue I change the subject.“Have you seen Alpha
Luke POVThe muscular figure stepped into the light, and I recognized Tomas immediately.He looked deranged and his usual cool facade was falling apart, and he looked broken."Please forgive me" he said almost sobbing as he raised a knife towards us.Steffan who were with me in the wine cellar smoothly paraded his attack and Tomas went flying into one of the wine racks making the bottle crash towards the floor.But almost as quickly as he were hit just as fast he was on his feet again once more attacking us. Except this time, it was clear, that the aim of the knife was meant for me.I grabbed his hands and resisted the knife penetrating my skin."Tomas, stop!" I yelled.Tomas eyes were filling with water; "I can’t, he commanded me to kill you. I’m so sorry about Kate, I didn’t mean to. I haven’t slept since that day; I keep seeing her dead body fall to the ground at my hand. I never wan
Iza POVWe had been home for 6 months now and everything had been perfectly normal, maybe a bit to perfect someone might add, but I enjoyed every moment of it living a normal family life.We had experienced some resistance among the pack members, when we first arrived back home, and it was announced that I were a mere human now, and worse that they no longer had an Alpha to lead them. Luke had refused to take on the title and Arianna was too young, so Steffan had stepped up as our new Alpha of the pack, and thankfully everyone was pleased with that decision. Tomas was announced as the new Beta as Luke didn’t want any title or responsibility, but it was still agreed that Luke would be the next in line for the role as Alpha of the pack if something were to happen to Steffan.After Steffan took over the role as Alpha and the pack had settle down and accepted me as a human to live among them everything seemed to turn out for the better.Me, Steffan, Tom
Luke POVI decided to walk through the city alone rather than return to pack house. There was no point in running after Kate if her demands of me proving my love to her was leaving Arianna behind. Her mother sacrifices herself too safe me. I weren’t going to abandoned Arianna now for my own desire to be near Kate. Fate had brought me and Arianna together, and if me and Kate were destined to be mates I had to believe that the Moon Goddess would intwine our destinies if not now then later in life. But for now, it seemed as if Kate was destined to be with Lucian and I to stay and protect Arianna. I cared deeply for Arianna, and I was more than willing to dedicate my life to keep her safe from harm, but right now this sucked. I wanted to scream and break something as I felt complete helpless in the situation. I wanted more than anything to just be able to leave everything behind and elope with Kate, but I couldn’t.Seeing Kate walk away and leave me for good wa
Luke POVArianna ran inside the pack house leaving me and Kate alone outside which had been the only thing I wanted all morning.I looked at the clothes in her arms that she still hadn’t handed me.I watched her eyes wander from every inch of my body and I wondered when she was going to notice that I too was watching her. But she was deep in thought as she examined every inch of my naked body with her eyes.“Can I have the clothes now?” I asked as I smiled at her. She blushed.“I’m sorry. Here!” she said and threw them at me.“No, no it is okay. I just wanted to make sure you were done staring at my naked body” I said as I started to get dressed.“Asshole!” she said and turned her back to me.“It’s a little late to turn around now, isn’t it? I mean you kind of seen the crown jewels”She turned around and looked angry at me: “I came
Luke POVIt was a fight to regain control from the wolf Lycan and my legs felt weak under me as I stood in human form once again. I could still feel him trying to fight himself back to the surface again, but I pushed him down and ignored him.I rather go back to having no wolf than let this manic take control of my body again.I was standing huffing and puffing like the wolf from the fairytale of the three little pigs as I tried to catch my breath.And then I noticed her little hand once again in mind. I looked down to see Arianna stand next to me and once again she was my salvation. I squeezed her hand and she squeezed it back while smiling at me.And if she read my mind she mouthed; “Always!” And I smiled back at her. “Always!”I thought it was over until I heard growling and I noticed Lucian hadn’t shifted back and Kate and Steffan were still on their knees baring their throat to me.“I release y
Luke POVI shifted into wolf form and let Lycan loose and his anger rushed through me and filled every inch of me.I slowly walked towards Lycan with my head low between my shoulder blades as I growled from deep within me. Everyone else took a step back as they all feared the big black wolf, Lycan.I hated how much I loved the feeling of him taking control. The feeling of limitless power and confidence. I relished in it and enjoyed feeling invincible. It was a feeling I wasn’t used to. Actually, I don’t think I ever felt like this before being in the present of Lycan. I didn’t agree with his constant desire to kill, but I liked how he stood is ground and never took shit from anyone. Even though the whole self proclaimed king of the wolves was a bit too much.Lycan had wanted to kill Lycan for a long time, but his desire for blood simple wasn’t reason enough to go around ripping throats out. But hurting Kate – big mistake!
Luke POVWe walked backed to the house as the sun rose above us greeting in a new day and setting fire to the sky with bright red colors.I knew we had to go pack our stuff before we left for home, but I really needed to get some rest and preferably some sleep first and then I desperately needed to see Kate, but as we arrived at the pack house the decision were made for me as Kate and Lucian were leaving.Alpha Lucian still looked very pale, and his wounds still weren’t healed properly. They weren’t open, bleeding or looked infected, but he looked really sick, not in a dying or weak way. He just seemed off. He was usually so correct and always properly dressed in a suit even though being a wolf often meant getting dirty and muddy. But today he looked messy and out of place.“You are leaving?” Iza asked Lucian, and he nodded uninterested, but smiled politely at her. She went to him and hugged him lovingly, but he did not return the
Luke POVThe sun began to rise as I started to near the end of forest and the pack house began to appear between the trees. I felt the first light of sun hit my skin as I exited the woods. Even though it was only a new it felt like a new beginning.I didn’t know if I had actually expected to come out of this alive but being here and looking up at the windows to where I knew the others were sleeping, I was glad I was. It was finally all over and I could start over. I could go anywhere and start a whole new life and leave all of this behind me, but where to start? I knew it was expected of me, that I would to go back home with Iza. But I didn’t have to. I did however still belong to her pack, but then again, if Iza weren’t a wolf anymore, could she then still be in charge or the Alpha of the pack. I didn’t know. And then it hit me, was I to be the new Alpha with Iza being my mother?“A king needs a kingdom” Lycan&r
Iza POV”I lied””What was that?” Steffan asked as he lifted himself up to lie on his elbows in bed.I had been sitting and staring out of the window towards the woods ever since Steffan had told me that Luke had left to confront Darian and his pack of rouges.He had brought Arianna in to sleep with us and by the sound of her breathing she was deep a sleep next to Steffan.I had cursed Steffan for letting Luke go into the woods alone or even go at all. But I also knew Luke was never going to leave with us, knowing Darian was still out there, so Steffan had been right to let him go. I just prayed he would return alive.Darian as an opponent was fierce enough, but facing him and his whole pack of rouges seemed like a suicide mission, so I had waited patiently at the window. Waiting for him to come out of the woods again. Alive and well. But nothing so far.I must have been sitting there for hours as the first gli
Luke POVI walked into the midnight air taking a deep breath in as the cold temperature of the night reached my lungs. It was like inhaling for the first time after being under water. It was refreshing and I let myself enjoy it for a second knowing what lied ahead of me.“Are you ready?” I asked out loud even though I didn’t need to.“Release me!” he both answered and ordered. And I shifted into wolf form and let him take control of me.I felt rush of adrenalin and I stretched in my wolf form. I suddenly felt unstoppable and powerful and more than ready for the task at hand. Lycan started to run through the forest. Even though he was big – he was fast and athletic and jumped with ease over fallen trees and in between branches.“Do you know where you are going?” I asked.“I got his scent – he is nearby” he answered as his pace slowed down.He stopped and gr
