(Doris' Pov)I leaned back and stepped away watching Kathy threaten."For this, the three of you," she pointed at me, Jessica, and Jennifer, "will be expelled from this academy. Mark my words." She laid another threat."I don't want to be implicated because of this, please apologize to her and let this go." Jennifer blurted out, pleading in fear as she shook my hands anxiously.Kathy laughed as she looked at Jennifer. "Your silly attitude has cost your innocent friends, yet you don't even seem to care.""And if I say I won't apologize to her, then what will happen?" I shrugged and freed myself from her hold."Well, you leave me with no other choice." She grabbed her phone out of her purse and dialed the number. She shoved the caller ID to my face, to show me she was dialing her grandfather and put it in loudspeaker."Pfft!" I scoffed loudly to her annoyance."Maybe you don't know, but I'll let you know now. I've been domineering in this academy for so long and no one has ever dared to
(Doris' Pov)After we had entered the hotel, I glanced around and happened to see some members of a wolf pack which I found out was the Black Blood Wolf Pack. They were in a discussion and I became eager to hear which made me move closer to them, unknowingly to the members.I heard something about a party and I figured that they were discussing the Black Blood Pack party which I heard was to be held at the high end of the hotel later at night."We're celebrating Alpha Adam's nephew's admission into the Glory Heart Academy. I really can't wait." One of them cheered."And not just that, the Alpha's brother has also become a blood wolf which means that he is qualified to join some powerful force in the werewolf kingdom. Do you guys know that it will also make our pack gain the attention of the Elders Council?" Another member spilled in joy."And y'all should also not forget that Alpha Adam will be announcing his new Luna in the presence of the whole pack." A female member spoke this time
(Doris' Pov)I arrived at the second floor, the location the two members had told me. I stopped for a moment when I had voices that seemed to be engaged in a heated conversation. The words and statements made by a voice who I considered to know as Alpha Adam was one of no shame and tended to hurt.Uncomfortable with his statements, I barged in immediately to meet shock and surprise on their faces. Jane, my aunt, was shocked to the extent that her lips could not locate each other. There were few other members of the Black Blood Wolf Pack that were inside with Alpha Adam. They stared at me in irritation and confusion as I stepped further into the space.I looked scornfully at Alpha Adam whose gaze had remained on me since I entered. "Can you even hear yourself at all? How can one be so shameless?" I scolded, keeping my gaze as irritated as possible.The guards, Jane and Adam, all looked at me with shock on their faces as I spoke."And who are you to talk me like that?" He furrowed his b
(Doris' Pov)The knock came again and the door was thrown ajar. Jessica and Jennifer stepped in immediately."Are you not Jessica and Jennifer?" Someone asked immediately in shocking tone.The two of them were famous in the academy so it was quite expected for them to be recognized quickly.Adam's expression and demeanor suddenly changed as he saw them walking in. I'm sure he was aware that although he is the Alpha of a wolf pack, the wolf packs that the two girls came from were much stronger ans powerful than his. The Black Blood Wolf Pack now currently ranked at the middle of all the wolf packs in the state. The business which Jessica's wolf pack was known for was the top business among the wolf packs.Also, Jennifer's wolf pack was one of the top ten wolf packs in the entire state and also in Insolindia state where the Glory Heart Academy is located. It was also a gathering place for various powerful wolf packs."You are welcome, beautiful young ladies, Jessica and Jennifer, if I'm
(Doris' Pov)Adam's demeanor had changed when the dean approached. He was desperately eager and wanted to please the dean. "Doris cheated to get into the Glory Heart Academy and I'm sure of that, but please Mr Dean, I hope that you won't cancel my son's admission qualifications. He deserves to be here and I don't want him to be denied that opportunity." He blurted out with pleading eyes.The Dean paid no attention to his words but kept a very serious expression on his face. He cleared his throat and began to speak. "I think I have made myself clear earlier enough, concerning this." His annoyance crept out slowly as he shrugged.Adam stared at the dean with slight irritation. "Why are you being this way, Mr Dean? I don't know why you have such a bad attitude." Adam scoffed. "Maybe if I mind-link my son again and tell him to flatter you, maybe then you will soften a bit because it seems like that is what you like," Adam smirked.He went ahead to mind-link his son. "You should come here
(Alex's Pov)I met their curious faces while I spoke. "I'm no longer in the Glory Heart Academy. The dean and I are both blood Wolves but I'm sure the Dean's status must be higher than mine."They looked on, wondering where I was headed with my statements. "However," I continued, "I also know that as a blood wolf, I can easily join other powerful forces. So it will be best not to do anything wrong." I widened my eyes as I directed it to the dean."Wheww!" Adam released a huge sigh of relief as he got up from the floor.I chuckled as I continued. "After all, the dean still has to consider that before doing anything to the Black Blood Pack. I am still a blood wolf, although I just became one a few days ago."I turned my gaze to Doris with a smirk on my face. "In as much as I want the two sides to calm down and solve whatever dispute going on," I stopped and glanced all over her body and released a snort, "but obviously, you are too weak for all of these Doris. There seems to be no stren
(Alpha Adam's Pov)After a few moments of silence waiting for my reply to Doris, I decided to say something. "Three years ago, when our wolf pack was doing business with other packs," I gained the attention of everyone in the room as I began. "Jane sold the core data of our products to the other Alphas, causing our pack's business to go bankrupt. And because of that, our pack's ranking also suffered a decline. The tank of the Black Blood Pack dropped and we were even unable to enter the top ten wolf packs. I don't think you know how angry I was. I was so annoyed and pissed that I wanted to strangle Jane to death for that." I gritted furiously."Can you even hear yourself?" Jane snapped in shock and disgust. "You have no single shame in you at all, so shameless of a...""Shut up woman! You don't talk to me like that or I will do what I fail to do then." I cut her off.My words and reply to Jane did not go unnoticed by Doris as she gave me a very resounding slap. This was followed by lo
(Doris' Pov)I met Erbot outside the room standing when I came out. I walked up to him immediately. Erbot was the heir of the Flame Wolf Pack, they were one of the top packs in Insolindia state. Erbot was also one of the youngest death wolves."Welcome Doris." He smiled briefly as he greeted her with a slight bow."Thanks, Erbot.""So..." He hesitated for a bit, "the first Elder has asked me to inform you to train some of the Iron Claw Warriors." He revealed."Hmmmm!" I hummed.The Iron Claw Warriors were the sword of the werewolf kingdom. They were the werewolf king's army and they were usually led by warrior leaders. The Iron Claw Warriors were to directly participate in the war and Erbot was also a warrior and one of the four leaders of the Iron Claw Warriors.The four leaders led four different armies of the Iron Claw Warriors, and above them were the council of elders and the werewolf king. There also lived a rumor that said there was a fifth mysterious Iron Claw Warrior army, wh
(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
