Luke POV
I didn’t really get anytime to get ready let alone shower even though I was in desperately need of one.
I got dressed in a new suit, this one was dark grey but fitted me perfectly just like the silver one from yesterday. I pulled my fingers through my hair trying to make some kind of hairstyle out this curly mess. It had to do because it was time to go.
I was told to walk to the great hall and stand next to the other pledgers in a line awaiting the Supreme, just like I did only days before, but this time there was people everywhere both outside and inside the hall.
I took a deep breath and walked through doors to the great hall. Today the great hall was stripped down to nothing but the floor, walls, roof and the Supreme’s throne like seating arrangement. No exquisite flower decorations or beautiful lighting arrangement, only the hard cold marble floors and the exposed brick wall and the wooden beams holding up the roof.
I conti
The Supreme Alpha POVAs Lucian escorted Kate out, I let go of Luke’s hand.I was annoyed by Kate’s outburst but even more by Lucy’s involvement. Kate was a confused and entranced girl in love with Luke. I remembered being young and in love, so it was hard for me not to sympathize with her broken heart, but she was also an ignorant, stupid, and jealous girl who let those exact same feelings put me in harms way. She didn’t understand my interest in Luke. If she had she would never have stepped in the way. But still, she was just a young foolish girl in love, and I was not about to punish her for that. She made a mistake, a horrible one that I paid the prize for, but she couldn’t be held accountable for the actions of Alpha Mazon and Alpha Ezrod. And I always kept my promises and I promised Luke, I wasn’t going to punish her.On the other hand, Lucy should have known better than to question my judgement once again and even
Luke POVI watched as Kate left the great hall after I indorsed the Supreme’s command of sending Kate to the mountains to join Lucian’s pack.I knew Kate would never stop seeking me out, and to keep my promise to the Supreme as well as to keep Kate safe, this was the best option. I didn’t want to leave her, but we were no longer kids, and everything had changed the last couple of days and about to change even more with me going with the Supreme.I was no longer little puny weird and wolfless Luke, I was the Supreme’s chosen pledger and a new life awaited me with her, not Kate.I straightened up trying to keep my feelings at bay convincing myself that this was for the best. Even though a part of me was screaming deep inside of me wanting to break free from the Supreme’s enchantment and run into Kate’s arms once more. But I didn’t. I stood tall and proud by my new queen because the other part of me loved every bit o
Luke POV“Iza, stop” I said but only a whisper left my lips. I could feel the breath of her wolf on my face as I stared her right in the eyes. Her wolf was so big even standing up I had to look up to looked it in the eye. Whereas Kate’s wolf was warm, cuddly, and playful, the Supreme’s wolf was majestic, cold, and regal and I wasn’t about to try and pet her.Her bright blue eyes was evaluating me and observing my every move, but she didn’t stand down or step back. Her canines still glistening close to my skin and a low continuously snarl went over her lips. And she looked like it was my head about to roll down the hall.Everyone in the great hall was holding their breath at the sight of me challenging the Supreme Alpha’s wolf.From the corner of my eye, I saw my aunt take a step closer and strategically trying to position herself if the Supreme attacked. I waved my hand at her indicating her to step back. Th
The Supreme Alpha POV“NO!” he yelled.Really, was this boy ever going to stop challenging me? At first I had been infuriated when he intervened my retribution of Tomas, but I also admired his will and pure heart. Even though Tomas had tried to kill him he still protected him and fought for his right for justice. He even put his own life at risk because he believed Tomas’ life was worth saving. I was proud of him daring to challenge me in what he thought to be injustices, that only made me cherish him more.But this was not Tomas, this was his aunt Lucy, and all I did was call her name and he was already disobeying me again. This boy.“Luke, contain yourself and your emotion or I will have you escorted out of here!” I announced without looking at him.“And before you interrupt me again, no that this is your final warning”It probably wasn’t, but I had to say something to make him stop this chil
Luke POVI was left standing in the great hall with Tomas in awkward silence.I didn’t know what to say to him and it felt like hours just standing there until he spoke.“Can I go home and say goodbye to my family before we go?” he asked breaking the uncomfortable silence.I looked confused at him which he miss understood as resentment and stepped back.“It’s okay, I don’t have to” he continued.“No, no of course you go see your family. I just don’t know why you’re asking my permission?” I answered.He looked relieved. “Because I was under the assumption that I serve you now under the Supreme orders….and thank you!”“No Tomas, forget that! Start making your own decisions and choices instead of relying on or blindly following others”“……Okay……but I can go see my family now?” he asked aga
Luke POVSteffan followed me home and we talked along the way. Not about anything specific just a bit of small talk. He was a master in avoiding question about himself, his past or anything remotely personal.As we arrived the front door opened and the Supreme and Lucy stepped out and I looked surprised at them and then back to Steffan.“My Supreme”, Steffan greeted and bowed his head and I quickly followed.I couldn’t help but feel that they planned this all a long and Steffan’s interest in me and my wellbeing was a charade only to get me here. I felt an unease about how easy I apparently was to manipulate.Steffan almost reading my mind leaned towards me and whispered.“Remember, she doesn’t tell me everything”I didn’t know if I believed him – it seemed to much of a coincidence that the Supreme would be here, but before I could ask she spoke:“What are doing here an
The Supreme AlphaWhy was he here?I deliberately went to Lucy house to talk things out with her and convince her to be the new Alpha, and then Steffan brought Luke here with the chance of him stirring everything up again.The conversation with Lucy had gone perfectly and we’d agreed to bury the hatches and move forward. She would accept her new title as Alpha, and I would let no harm come to Luke. She made me swear and for me it was an easy promise to make. Nothing within me wanted to hurt him – spank him for his disobedience, yes, but never hurt him.We disagreed on the matter concerning Kate, and I had no idea why Kate suddenly was so important to her, but I agreed to let Luke be with her if that was what he truly wanted. Then I would let him go and release him from his pledge. That was her only two requirements, and even though I found them odd I still agreed to them. Kate was going to be in mountains with Lucian as I commanded which Luke
Luke POVI was about to explode with anger. I rushed out of the house not waiting for my aunt to come up with some lame explanation or excuse for The Supremes actions.I was going to fucking kill her!She manipulated me from the start knowing that she was reason I grew up with out my parents. Why I grew up as an outcast, as black sheep in a flock of wolves. My father would have protected me from Ezrod’s hand but instead I was left to defend for myself. Everything I missed she took from me and everything I hated about growing up she did to me.I stormed through the city and towards the packhouse. Along the way I passed Tomas’s house and he noticed my determined walk.“Luke?” he yelled at me, but I was too indignant to stop and chat.He ran up beside me; “Luke what is going on?” he asked catching his breath.“I’m going to kill the Supreme Alpha, that is what’s up! Go Home Tomas&rdquo
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
