(Alpha Jason's POV)"Is this where you are meant to be?" It seemed like my pack members do not know what this means for them to be wandering around in confusion even after my orders. I had ordered them to prepare to meet an important guest.I felt honored to be hosting the agent of the Goddess of War who was also the Alpha heir to one the most respected and important wolf pack, the Flame Wolf Pack. This would be of many important benefits to me."Quick! Prepare the table!" I ordered some of the pack members in charge of the kitchen."You!" I pointed at a member."Yes Sir Jason." He replied with a bow."Hurry! Bring out our best table clothes we have in this pack house. Only the best deserve the best." I was hosting the agent of the Goddess of War, so he deserves the best. Who knows what he has for me?"Yes Alpha." He sprang out immediately."You over there!" I turned towards a member who stood doing nothing. "Do you even have any idea of who will be visiting?" I asked sarcastically. H
(Alpha Jason's POV)"Impossible!" Luna Melanie screamed out in disgust."This is not possible! You bitch! You are supposed to be dead." She scowled in disgust."How could a person who should have died in the Darkmoon Forest a few years ago suddenly appear here? Not to talk of one who was alone all along." Melanie kept asking as she looked over at Doris in total confusion and wonder."Is this really you Doris?" I asked the silent Doris who still stood where she was. I moved closer to her to touch her in order to confirm that my eyes were not deceiving me.Doris stared blankly with no emotion or feeling seen in her face and eyes as I touched her. Some other members who had been staring in shock and disbelief also came to touch her clearing up their doubts.She was indeed the one and also fully alive. I couldn't hide my sudden change of expression as she was definitely not the one I had prepared this banquet for. She was neither the Goddess of War nor the future Alpha of the Flame Wolf P
(Doris' POV)I looked at the werewolf warriors around who had hastened their steps, ready to attack me.I dodged and nimbly avoided their angry attacks. Their numbers did not stop me from hitting back and soon enough, they were all on the ground. Defeating them came too easily for me.When the surroundings became calm once again, I looked around to see the looks of shock and wonder plastered on their faces. Every one of them was staring in disbelief."How could you be so... strong!" One of them muttered loud enough for me to hear. "This is unbelievable! How did you possess all this strength and power in you?" They kept asking in disbelief."Since when did you become this strong and powerful Doris?" Alpha Jason was also in disbelief. He stared at me like he had just seen an impossible person. "How much have you grown all these years?"I knotted my brows in amusement as I watched him speak. He couldn't believe what he had just seen."If you could survive all alone in the Darkmoon Forest
(Doris' POV)Erbort suddenly came out of the car. The car Erbort and I came with was known to be a special vehicle for the most deadly criminals or the most important people."Is this how you treat people over here? How can you be so disrespectful to my person Alpha Jason? You should show her some respect and not insults!" Erbort questioned Jason as he stood at a spot."Is this how you welcome the arrival of your guest? With insults? It seems that the Silver Fang Pack has failed to welcome the arrival of the Flame Wolf Pack." Erbort revealed."Huh!" Everyone was shocked as they gasped in surprise. "Doris? A member of the Flame Wolf Pack? How can that be possible?" The members asked in shock in concern about what Erbort had said.I looked around in amusement when I saw the sweat on everyone's faces. I turned to look at Erbort who had gotten down from my car. I caught the eyes of Ariel who stared at Erbort in full admiration. She had a crush on Erbort at first sight as her stares and ga
(Doris' POV)"What?" A member of the pack screamed when Alpha Jason had finished talking. "You can't do that, Sir Jason!" Another one shouted. The pack members murmured in disagreement."We won't support that! You can't just give our treasure out like that. The goddess's scepter is not one for a mere trade." The members of the wolf pack rebuked Alpha Jason's decision as they jointly disagreed. They were not happy when he said that he would give the goddess's scepter to Erbort."You should calm down father and think this through," Brett advised as he looked at Alpha Jason. "I think we should not just jump into decisions concerning situations like this. This is the Silver Fang Pack treasure we are talking about here, we can give or do something else instead."The members kept murmuring and talking in loud disagreement. "We found it ourselves." One of them said in whispers."He was not there when we found it in the territory...yet he came and snatched it away from us saying it was a heir
(Doris' POV)My lips curved into an evil smile when I looked at the faces of the pack members in front of me. They looked at me frightened beyond words, wondering what was going on. They were unsure of my sudden words and actions, especially not when I had rebuked them moments ago.And they were right. I had something else in mind, not peace or unity. They did a lot of things that don't deserve to go unpunished.After I had escaped from the Silver Fang Wolf Pack, I went to the Blood Moon Pack where my mother and Philly resided. Staying by their side, I was able to control my eagerness for violence, I was subdued by their presence around me.I had promised my mother then not to seek revenge when she advised me not to. But now that she has passed away, and Philly was betrayed by this same Silver Fang Wolf Pack and had almost died along the way, how could I not hate them?The Silver Fang Wolf Pack gave me every reason to hate them and to also take revenge. I have gotten my sceptre and wo
(Doris' POV)"No! I don't believe it! You're just the lowest-ranking Elder! I refuse to believe this is the decision of the first Elder!" Jason lunged forward, attempting to attack Mawson, but Mawson pushed him back with only one hand.Jason fell to the ground in pain. Anyone who could become an Elder had unquestionable power. They were at least of the Moon Wolf rank. Mawson had been underestimated because of his youth.Mawson remained silent, tossing his phone to Jason. The authoritative voice of the first Elder came from the other end. "Mawson represents me. I hope you have no objections, or else you and your pack will disappear along with you!"Jason's face turned pale, his lips quivering in disbelief.Mawson picked up his phone from the ground and handed it to me. I realized that this was an exchange between the first Elder and me. He must want me to do something for him!I brought the phone close to my ear. "This is Doris.""Doris, you're free to arrange the Silver Fang Wolf Pack
(Doris' POV)After we were done talking in the car, Erbort went back to the Silver Fang Pack to continue dealing with the affairs there. I remained there for some moments gathering myself before visiting Philly in the hospital.I started the car and was about to leave when I got a mind-link from Erbort. "He wants to go with." He said."Who are you talking about?" I questioned having no idea what he was saying."Alpha Brett, your father. He said that he wanted to accompany you to the hospital. He persistently asked where you were going and I told him."I thought about agreeing to that since Philly probably came to the Silver Fang Pack to find his father. "Tell him that he can come and should be out here immediately because I'm about to leave for the hospital."My father came out almost immediately. He entered the car and thanked me. I nodded slightly in reply without turning over to him. I started the car again and drove out. The rest of our journey to the hospital was weirdly silent a
(Doris' POV)The next morning, I groggily opened my eyes. The day was fast spent, yet I was just waking up.I stretched my hand to the other side of the bed with my eyes still sleepy and half opened, but couldn't feel Xavier. I quickly opened my eyes and realized he wasn't on the bed with me and sat up.Suddenly, the door opened, gasping my attention. And there he was, holding a tray of meal, approaching the bed.“Good morning, sunshine.” He said in a sing-song tone, placed the tray on the bed and kissed me on the forehead.“Good morning to you too. What a pleasant surprise,” I smiled and sniffed in the aroma of the meal.I shut my eyes slightly for a minute and was mesmerized by it.“This better be nice.” I said and proceeded to take a bite.“How is it?” He asked when I chewed halfway, but my face turned into a frown and glared coldly at him.“Did you make this yourself?”“Yes, why? What's wrong?” He queried in a low tone, his eyes darting from the meal back to me.“It's amazing!” I
(Doris' POV)“Does the elders have anything to say to what the future King had said?” I asked in a low and threatening growl.They all shook their heads.“We are fine with whomever the King has chosen.” The leader said with his head slightly bowed toward Xavier.The others too did the same, except Barron, who stormed out of the conference room in anger. I waved at the Reapers to let him go while I laughed to my heart's content.“I'm sorry I couldn't meet you at the borderline.” Xavier turned to me and said after Barron left.“It's fine, I know you also have duties to attend to.” A smile spread on my face.“We would take our leave then.” One of the elders said, and they exited the room.“We should go home too,” I said to Xavier with my arms wrapped around his neck.He gently placed his hand on my waist and responded, “Sure.”I turned to the Reapers, who were still waiting for my instruction.“You all should rest, too. We all deserve it.” I said, my voice filled with pride of how we fou
(Xavier's POV)“I don't care what any of you says, I'm the elder son and the legitimate son of the late King, that throne is mine.” Barron seethed his teeth and thudded his fist against the table as he spoke.“We set the rules here in the absence of a King, which means we have the authority to make any decisions of our choice at this moment.” One of the elders protested in a calm voice.My heart kept pounding fast, and I had no idea what to do. This is a position I'm not worthy of.“Give the throne to Barron.......” I started, and all eyes fell on me, surprised. “I'm not worthy of the throne. Barron should be the 9ne to sit on it, not me.” I said, with my gaze lowered to the floor.“Good thing you know your place.” Barron snapped at me and I plucked up my chin to look at him.Seeing the hatred he had for me broke me heart more.“That won't be possible, Xavier. Even if you were dead or not the King's son, Barron would still have no place in the Palace. You were born to rule, and you ha
(Xavier's POV)Barron and I sat in the conference room, waiting for the elders. They had set up the meeting for us, to pick a new King.My heart pounded faster in my mind, thinking about everything. I wondered what kind of King I would become if I got chosen, and also how I would feel if I didn't get chosen.They were running late, but I understood the Pack was going through a rough time at the moment, which could be the cause. Barron kept glaring at me through the corner of his eyes, he had always hated.Maybe because I was an illegitimate son, but I won't be too bothered if I were him. That alone was a great disadvantage for me.After some more minutes of waiting, the door opened and the elders walked in one after the other. We both rose to our feet and bowed to greet them.“You may both have your seat,” the leader of the elders said after they had all settled down.“Thanks,” I mumbled and sat down.“I'm sure you both know the purpose of this meeting.” He started.“Can we then get t
(Doris' POV)My eyes welled for a reason I couldn't tell; whether about the King's death or the First Elder's death, I just couldn't place it.The First Elder must have blamed the King too for the death of Snake and killed me, while I trusted him with the King to be in safe hands. I wanted to come back to the Pack victorious and settle all grudges, but now, they are both dead.Case closed!Murmurs among the elders filled the air, I excused myself from them and exited the Palace.In front of the Palace, there stood the Reapers, some warriors, the two warriors who carried the First Elder's body and some curious Pack members who shot cold glares at me as I stepped out.They were scared to speak, but I could almost read their minds through their faces, it was so sad and bitter. I know they wanted to question me about the First Elder, but none of them dare say a word.“Carry the body, let's go.” I said to the warriors and turned to leave when a female voice stopped me.“The King?” She aske
(Doris' POV)“You should have never done it. All Snake had was you.”“And he was a sacrifice meant to be made, how could I not do it?” His voice dropped to almost a whisper, remorse crept in.My face softened and I halted, watching his moves. Who can tell, it might be another one of his numerous tricks to get new off my guard.“You have done too much evil already, why would you want me dead too?”“You have the guts to ask me that? Snake died because he was your follower, what more would bring me joy than your corpse?” He snapped, enraged and ready to strike again.He's right about that, Snake might still be alive if he wasn't serving me. Maybe some of them really died because of me, and it's all my fault, but I won't let them die in vain. I'll seek the justice that their souls deserve.I eased myself from the defense stance and looked at the First Elder. Even with being a Divine Wolf, he's still a piece of cake to me.And though I wanted justice for all he had harmed, a part of me sti
(Doris' POV)My lips twitched with rage.How dare he lie to me, paint people evil to me, so I could get to trust him while he was the evil himself?I halted in front of him and crouched, lifting his head to meet my eyes.“Forgive, you say?” A scoff traveled through my lips and I rose to my feet.“Why did you do it? Why did you make me trust so much in you and turned out to be the evil I was up against?” I asked in a hushed tone, almost couldn't believe he could do such a thing to me.I had always seen him as a noble and honest man who wanted justice for those the King had wrong. Only God knows how many crimes he had committed that I knew nothing about.“I'm sorry, please forgive me.” He said out loud, bowing his head again.I beat my feet on the ground, filled with rage for the nonchalant apologies he was tendering. None of his apologies would bring back those who had died.None of his
(Doris' POV)My eyes met with the strongest vampire King and my lips twitched. Though he tried to mask his fears, it was still written over his face.He must be wondering how we got through Reya and the other Purebred vampires, but nobody dare mess with the Goddess of War, I'll always be available to give them their responses.“How dare you look me in the eyes?” He growled as if to threaten me, but I stood firm.“I can look you in the eyes because I can....... We all can.” My arms spread out, referring to my warriors and the Reapers.His face went red with anger.“How dare you?” He cussed and turned to one of his men. “Where the heck is Reya?” He asked, whispering.“There would be no need for that,” I butted in abruptly, and he looked at me with his left brow raised at my remark. “She would be food for the earth in no time.” I concluded and smirked.He unde
(Xavier's POV)Seated in front of aunt Jane's house, my mind drifted to Doris. It's been days after she left, and I couldn't help it but miss her like hell, I would give anything to hold her in my arm sooner.I know the battle would be fierce, but I hope she would be rest assured that her family would be safe with me.Felix, Doris brother, walked to the front of the house and sat beside me on the swing chair.“What are you doing out here? You should be inside, resting.” I said to him, and let glared coldly at me for a few seconds.Why would he do that when all I've done since Doris left was to make them comfortable? Perhaps I had done something I had no idea about.“Did I do something wrong? What's up with the glare?” I asked in a shushed tone, my heart pounding faster.“I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that.” He briskly apologized, bowing his head.“It's fine, it's nothing to be apologetic about.”My lips curled with a smile and my heart was proud of what I've done.On several occasion
