(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
(First Elder's Pov)I made an entrance to the training ground to meet Evelyn trampled on the ground by Doris who was on top of her.Everyone recognized me but looked surprised to see me there, as they did not expect to see me in person. The reason is because I rarely make my presence known."The first elder!" A werewolf warrior exclaimed in excitement."The leader of the werewolf world here in person!""One of the most powerful werewolves is here."The excited stares and exclamations kept coming as I walked closer to them.It was said that I was a god-like figure, so I could understand their stares and excitement.I looked towards Doris who was on top of Evelyn and looked down at Evelyn beneath her smiling towards me. I returned the smile, which aroused murmurs among everyone.I looked up and saw them looking at Doris."She is as good as dead right now." I heard one of them say which the others agreed with slight laughter.I tapped on Doris's shoulder and nodded my head. She got the m
(First Elder's Pov)Drake still turned to look at Evelyn for her explanation and she repeated what she had explained to me earlier in between her miserable and unending cries."Who made you cry this way?" He growled in anger. Her cries only made him very angry as he glanced at Doris with a scowl on his face and turned to look at me."Who is she?" He asked irritatedly, pointing at Doris.The fact was that Doris was the fifth mysterious leader but it was still a secret which I couldn't say just now to protect her safety. Except for a few people in the council of elders, the werewolf king, as well as Doris cronies, no one else knew her true identity, so it remained unknown to most.Drake noticed my silence and creased his face. "I knew my daughter wouldn't just lie to me anyhow." He spoke out immediately, obviously believing his daughter's words.I shook my head disappointed as I looked at Drake. "I'm disappointed with your attitude, Drake. So you can't distinguish between right and wron
(Doris' Pov)After the first elder revealed my identity, the others who were present creased their faces and stared at him in confusion. They began to mumble and murmur.The first elder looked around and saw their faces and nodded at their curiosity, then he continued. "There are nearly half of the blood wolves in the Reapers and the others are dead wolves, and they are all very loyal to Doris." He stopped for a moment.I looked around to meet their faces and they only looked more confused. The first elder noticed it too and decided to continue."I'm sure all of you are still confused with what I said, but I'll continue to make you understand. Doris had led the Reapers to save the werewolf kingdom from crisis a lot of times and also defended the werewolf kingdom from other evil creatures. Even though she disappeared for a long time, her men were still fighting. They were still the strongest shield of the werewolf kingdom and she was the unstoppable warrior on the border. Several years
(Doris' Pov)"Is that it?" The first elder asked me like it was nothing at all."Do you want a tougher one?" I asked teasingly in reply."No...no...of course not." He chuckled. "Well consider it done, I will get you a witch before the day ends." He smiled reassuringly."However, I have decided to announce you as the new great elder to everyone." He grinned widely."I think you shouldn't reveal, at least not yet. I might return to the battlefield later in the future."He nodded in understanding. "How about I announce the news of the appointment of a new elder, but I won't reveal you as the person.""That's better." I nodded in approval."Also a celebration ceremony will be prepared for your appointment, so you should bring Xavier along.""Alright, that's no problem for me." I smiled briefly.We went out of the conference room to meet those who were still at the training ground. "Now listen up every one of you here," the first was suddenly said as we approached the others."I'm sure all
(Doris' Pov)Xavier's arm, wrapped around my waist, warmed and soothed me. I smiled widely as I felt his breath in my ears when he spoke."I like it. The villa is in line with my taste." I held his arm firmly around my waist."I'm glad you do." He grinned and kissed my temple. He released his arm around my waist and turned me around to look at him. He held my hands and stared deeply into my eyes. "I know that you live in the academy now, but you deserve the best. So I thought about it and decided to buy this villa for you. So please accept this gift from me to you.""That's so sweet of you, Xavier." I cooed and pecked him on his lips. "Thank you so much. I like it here...a lot." I looked around the villa again, beaming with smiles."You don't need to thank me. It's my responsibility to do so." His grin turned into a smirk as he looked at me seductively. "But don't you think I need a reward?" He wiggled his eyebrows teasingly as he widened his smirk which made me giggle.I knew what he
(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
