(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)My knees quivered at the sight in front of me. I could feel the striking pull immediately after my eyes got hold of him, and I was certain that he felt it too if not more than me because his perfect eyes and figure gave him out.I gulped hard as cold chills traveled down my spine as I kept staring at him longingly with all the emotions that had surged up within me. Emotions filled with joy, peace, fulfillment, happiness, tranquility, love, and probably lust. Yes, lust because he was all that I wanted.Xavier was all that I wanted. He ogled me in longingly like he had been waiting for me his entire existence. I could feel the happiness that revolved around her as she stood there beaming with an ever-loving heartwarming smile.This was the person I had always longed for and seeing him now feeling the same way was what I had hoped and wished for. I breathed happiness as it was all over the air. The mate bond definitely cannot lie.At this moment, the atmosphere around us cou
(Doris' Pov)"Did you just slap me?" Eliana growled, glaring at me as she rubbed her cheeks."And I'll do that again if you don't back off!" I shouted back at her."If there's anyone who needs to stay away from Xavier, then it would be you. So, I'll warn you now to stay away from him!" I pointed coldly at her."If only you knew how I wanted to hit you so bad right now, hurt you, and crush your bones, then you wouldn't have the guts to be this brave." Eliana grinned furiously while murdering me with her gaze."Everyone probably thinks I'm just a moon wolf, but they don't and won't expect that I'm also a new-blood wolf. So let me just tell you now, that my strength should not be underestimated and you should be scared of what I can do to you." She gritted disdainfully."No way!" Someone blurted out in shock."Eliana is a blood wolf?""How is that possible? I mean it's possible but it's so rare. There are only very few women who become blood wolves at a very young age."Everyone agreed w
(Xavier's Pov)I was caught off guard when Doris kissed me immediately after we entered the room. "We finally have our time alone together." She said as she chuckled seeing the surprised look on my face."Same here," I replied with a smirk on my lips. I looked deeply at her and realized that I still didn't know her name yet."I'm sorry that I don't know your name yet, so please, beautiful girl in dreams, may I know your name?" I smiled as I placed a light kiss on the back of her palms.She chuckled again and placed a heartwarming smile on her face. "You don't need to be sorry, and my name is Doris." She reciprocated the kiss with a light peck on my cheeks."How lucky am I, to have a beautiful girl with a beautiful name as my mate." I grinned widely as she giggled and playfully hit my arm."Stop teasing me." She looked down as she smiled."I'm not a tease, and I'm being serious here. Your name is beautiful and it suits you so well." I grinned happily as we remained in a comfortable sil
(Doris' Pov)It was morning already and I was greeted with the face that I had always wished to see every morning I woke up. His perfect face never declined even while sleeping. I laid on top of him, with my head on his chest and my legs resting in between his, as his arms were wrapped around my waist.My face widened into a bright smile as I remembered our intimate moment last night and the intimacy we shared this morning while in our current position. It was all like I was in a dream and needed someone to pinch me hard so that I would wake up."You know it's not good to stare for too long." He muttered with a smile as his eyes remained closed. "But I like it." I looked away immediately after getting caught staring.He blinked his eyes open and stared dreamily at me. "Good morning, beautiful." He greeted me with a warm smile. He placed a kiss on my forehead and proceeded to shower me with kisses all over my face.It turned into a hot intimate kiss, as I grabbed his face and jammed ou
(Doris' Pov)After I had instructed them, they nodded their heads furiously in response, still in shock that I'd be able to amass such power and control over them. No one of them dared to underestimate me anymore as they all returned to their training positions with defeated faces.We began training immediately and fought hard. We did a lot of training and also practised a lot of skills. I tested their strengths, weaknesses, capabilities, controls, and reflexes, and also paired them into a group of twos in a duel.While we were training, I discovered that they had many serious injuries that could not be healed. I asked them to confirm my reasons for such injuries and I was certain when they said that it was because they had been fighting vampires for many years. Fighting vampires was no child's play, no wonder the deep injuries.At one point, I heard their little conversation among themselves."I think she is a battle-hardened warrior." One of them said,"You think? She is. Can't you
(Doris' Pov)At Evelyn's order, her twelve guards immediately surrounded me like they were waiting for an ambush. I looked at them one after the other, showing them a sexy smile.They looked at each other in confusion, wondering why I did that when they came to fight me, hoping I'd be ready for a fight, not a sexy smile thrown at them.Those who knew me well knew that this was a signal. A signal that indicated that I wanted to kill someone. Whenever an opponent or rather, an enemy, sees me smiling like that on the battlefield, they will pee in fear of what is going to happen.They were still surrounding but already taking steps forward in attack, when I glanced over at Evelyn who grabbed Alex and began kissing.She pulled out briefly. "Let's celebrate our success here, shall we?" She grinned and slammed her lips back to Alex's without waiting for his reply, while they continued flirting.I turned back immediately and began my action.(Evelyn's Pov)It was probably within three minutes
(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
