(Doris’ Pov)I was not surprised at all that Lancer chose not to believe that I was the leader of the Reapers. He was the same as the other sexists who will not fail to disagree that a woman can be at the top. He was among the set of werewolves who think that a woman has no place in authority and power and he did not fail to show himself here.It was as if Lancer had shut down the possibility of what Eason said to be true as he kept on giving me irritated looks. I decided to flex my strength a little and maybe add to the beatings he had already received from Eason."I had already expected you not to believe what you were told, and you did not fail to disappoint." I shrugged my shoulders. "But as they say, seeing is believing, so maybe when you see and also experience, you will need nobody to convince you further." A mild laugh escaped my mouth.I stepped back a bit and bent my head low. I remained like that for a few seconds and raised my head immediately. The colour of my eyes change
(Lexi's Pov)Watching Doris showcase her strength and beat up Lancer in a humiliating way was a fun and enlightening view for me. I had always wanted that one person that would shut the dirty mouth of Lancer and Doris seemed to come through so easily.I was glad that Doris was able to counter all his silly statements and prove him wrong not just with words but her actions. She oozed confidence and command both in the way she spoke and the way she fought. That was something that I lacked and hoped to have. It would be hard for anyone not to be intimidated by her as that was the case currently in the hospital.A wide smile of happiness and satisfaction graced my lips as I saw her teach Lancer a lesson in manners and belief. She debunked all his sexist statements with a stern look as he leaned against the wall with a bloody mouth while searching for breath after being choked.As usual, every female werewolf Lancer happens to see in the hospital must always be addressed as a nurse. He had
(Doris’ Pov)Just as l was still boiling in anger, a group of people suddenly walked into the hospital. I looked carefully and saw that they were not just a group of people but a group of vampires.Everyone in the hospital who saw them was shocked with a bit of confusion written all over their faces as they were wondering what vampires were doing at the hospital of werewolves. Some looked pissed as the vampires acted like they didn't know that they were trespassing.I was wondering what their reason was for coming to the werewolf hospital and couldn't help but get angrier as I remembered their attack on the Reapers and the outcome of it.They kept smug looks on their faces as they were walking and kept on ignoring the presence of other people in the hospital who were asking them why they were there. They were led by one of them who stood in their middle as they walked in.As they caught the gazes of the warriors and me, they smirked widely, and their leader with a smug smile on his fa
(Doris' Pov)Everything about the video and the reactions on the faces of the vampires ignited the anger that I had tried to cool down. I couldn't help but grit furiously glared at Coby and his vampires.I could also feel the anger that swept through Eason and the other warriors as they watched the video. It was as if they should just gang up immediately and beat the hell out of the vampires when they also saw their reaction to the video. Eason suddenly rushed out in anger to hit Coby but I held him back and he went back to his position. I nodded my head slightly, meaning that I would handle it instead.Coby just shrugged and snapped his fingers. The vampire beside him took the phone this time around. He looked at me and all the warriors with a smirk and cleared his throat. "I hope you liked what you saw because for me and my other guys here, we enjoyed watching that." He chuckled evilly. "You know, I also had fun while doing that to them, although those silly assholes refused to tell
(Doris' Pov)Coby was Andrew's deputy so I had expected him to be a pure breed. The patients and others in the hospital gasped when they saw that he was a pure breed. It was rare in the werewolf kingdom to see a pure breed considering how strong they have been classified as.The pure breed vampires to some of the werewolves were always seen as too strong and therefore and therefore cannot be defeated. This was the current in the hospital at this moment. They looked at him in awe and looked at me with pity. The patients began to mutter how they were sure that I was going to be beaten by Coby.Their words and reactions seemed to get into his head of Coby as he smirked and stood proudly waiting for me to attack. "You will regret stepping foot into this hospital," I said coldly and rushed towards him in attack.He blocked my attack with his hands and tried to twist my hands. I kicked him on his knees and punched him on his stomach. He staggered back and groaned, trying to catch his steps.
(Doris' Pov)Reminiscing all that I saw in the video made me think of what to do to Coby, who was still helpless on the ground while trying to take in the news that I was the leader of the Reapers. He was dumb not to notice that since he arrived here.He had reduced my warriors to parts and it was only right and logical that he got the same treatment. I didn't want to leave him in a whole body, not after what he had done. The corner of my lips widened just as I thought of what to do.I looked at the faces of the warriors who were looking very much satisfied and signaled them to step forward. They did so immediately and waited for me to speak.I looked back at Coby whose head was already facing the ground and cleared my throat to get his attention. He looked up sluggishly and stared at me, fighting to keep his eyes open. "You and your minions of bloodsuckers had reduced the bodies of my warriors, butchering the various parts of their bodies till they died. And you termed it as 'fun'. A
(Doris’ Pov)"Thank you, thank you." Lexi refused to release me from her tight hug. She had said thank you a thousand times now and kept squealing like a young child. I didn't want to struggle with her so I let her be, not like I was affected by her tight hug.She finally pulled herself away from me and beamed with a smile. I returned her smile and she held my hands. "It seems the moon goddess had sent you to me here today. You have no idea how much you have impacted me in just a span of a few hours. I'm really glad I met you, Doris." She was almost close to tears.I smiled and hugged her briefly. "And I'm happy that I could do so. I'm also glad that I met you today and could be of help to you."Just as we were still talking, some of my warriors who had left the hospital a while ago, suddenly rushed into the hospital. People were startled by the way they hastily walked in. They saw me and hastened their steps towards me. They looked like they were angry over something as I saw their e
(Elder Garrison's Pov)We didn't want to disobey the words of the werewolf king concerning the vampires he had invited over for reconciliation, which was partly the reason why we prevented the Reapers from killing the vampires in their custody. The warriors had said that they would inform their leader who would come down here immediately and we are going to take back our words.While the vampires were still sort of mocking the warriors, Doris came along with the other warriors of the Reapers who were sent to call her. and seeing her there it was just then that the realization settled in again. Of course, she was their leader so she was bound to come here. I panicked immediately when I saw her. She wore a furious look on her face and called out my name, asking why we stopped her warriors from carrying out her orders and what the vampires had done for them to be killed.I can still remember how shocked I was at the meeting after finding out who she was. It was sti
(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
