Tyler’s POV“Oh shit!” I exclaimed as I watched her walk away, immediately she disappeared into the crowd of guards that had accompanied her and her…her father? It made no sense, none of it did, Roseline? Why was she dead? How did she have a new father? Was she adopted or something? Did she find a way to survive and now, two years later she had come back to exact her revenge? It was all crazy and I suddenly felt giddy, I felt beads of perspiration on my forehead and my neck, my palms had already started sweating. This was it, the feeling of impending doom, it couldn’t get worse than this. It was the most unexpected thing, the last thing I had expected to happen.Lina came to me but I wasn’t even aware of her presence until she shook me slightly.“Tyler? Are you alright? It’s like you were in a trance or something.” She asked with a worried look on her face.I looked at her beautiful face, she was a very lovely woman and none of that charm of hers had dimmed. I feared for her all of a
Roseline’s pov I woke up the next day with a sharp headache and I closed my eyes again. What had happened? Why did I suddenly black out again? I opened my eyes again and looked around, it was the same room, my new room. I groaned as I tried to sit up and Anna rushed to me from a couch, there was a frown plastered on her face even as she helped me up.“Anna, what happened?” I asked, the pain was beginning to subside.Anna shook her head and said, “What’s wrong with you? You never take your health seriously and you’ve never listened. I told you to take your drugs after five hours but you didn’t. That was why you blacked out, the doctor just injected the drugs into you a few hours ago again. You had everyone worried, my goodness!” She exclaimed and it was only then that I remembered the drugs.There was no way I could have remembered that with everything that was going on in my head, absolutely no way. “I’m sorry, don’t be mad at me. I feel perfectly okay though.” I lied, flashing a smi
Tyler’s POV A day passed, then two, and nothing happened, that made me doubt if anything was going to happen. But I couldn’t be all that dumb, she had said it herself that she was coming, her words registered in my head and it was all I thought about. Lina noticed my restlessness and addressed it multiple times. “Seriously Tyler, you’re beginning to make me very worried, why are your eyes so alert and red? What are you even looking at?” She asked once, I had been staring out of the window in the evening, gazing at the sky and wondering what it held for me beyond. “Are you in some kind of trouble or danger? Is someone coming for you? Common talk to me.”I stared at her, her large, beautiful eyes held genuine concern and slight panic. I couldn’t get her involved in my despicable past, what I needed to do was keep her safe instead.“It’s nothing, Lina. A man who holds a position as exalted as mine is bound to wander off in his thoughts about the city.” I lied, from her impassive react
Roseline’s POVA satisfied smile crossed my lips as we approached the borders of Liam’s cursed city and I saw the crowd lying in wait for us. Cyrus stared at me and I nodded approvingly, I couldn’t wait, my blood was boiling.“I think you should rethink this, Roseline.” My wolf said with a worried voice. “I don’t have a good feeling about it, seriously.”I grunted, “I’ve come too far, Rayana, I’m so close, you think I’ll go back now? No way. I was reborn without the word forgiveness in my dictionary, this was the reason for my reincarnation, don’t you understand? This is the only purpose I live for now, to humble those horrible men and bring them down to the ashes! Are you going to help me or desert me, Rayana? I need you now more than ever, please, just be on my side this time.”“I can never desert you, Roseline, no matter the decision you take. I’m with you.”Rayana replied and a flood of relief spread through me.I couldn’t do it without Rayana's help, wherever my strength failed, s
Liam’s povEven after a day, Tyler was still in shock and crying like a baby, at a point it got me upset and I went to meet him. He hadn’t been available, nor had he tried to contact me and every time I tried to, he wasn’t reachable. I wasn’t going to console him, I wasn’t very good at doing that.The first time I met Lina, I was thrilled by her liveliness and striking beauty. Truly Tyler had found a gem of a woman with a golden character and an intriguing sense of humor. Her death shook me slightly, but not at that moment she had died. She wasn’t supposed to have died, the force with which Roseline had stricken her was so impactful that it had almost split Lina in half. That blow had been meant for Tyler, not her, she was supposed to be a widow and not Tyler, a widower. I didn’t bother knocking when I got to Tyler's apartment, I pushed the front door open. Immediately a maid rushed towards me and on sighting that it was me, a look of surprise spread across her face and she bowed ins
Tyler's POVI sat there for a while, just thinking and watching Liam walk away with his shoulders hunched. His face hadn’t glowered with anger, his voice hadn’t been harsh or scornful, it had been calm the whole time, and for some reason, it bothered me. It got me thinking when he didn’t react, I was used to him reacting. Even when I held his collar, he didn’t fight back or even push me away. When I shouted at him, he didn’t shout back. It was very strange of him, was he genuinely concerned?I didn’t think about it and just decided to relax for a while. Most of what he had said wasn’t wrong, Lina would have still been alive if I hadn’t moved out of the way. She would have still been alive if I hadn’t deserted Roseline completely and turned my back on her. My Lina would have still been alive if I hadn’t been so forgetful if I had killed Roseline earlier.“Fuck!” I exclaimed aloud. This was driving me nuts. “Marla!” I called and the maid rushed in. “Whiskey, ice, make it on the rocks, n
Tyler’s POVI didn’t know how I felt about meeting Roseline again, the woman who had slain one of the people I loved the most. She had put everything into that strike, it was me who was supposed to be split in half. I cringed as I stepped into the hallway, Roseline’s anger was dangerous and fierce and it had cost me in a very painful way. I got the feeling that it was just the beginning, but I didn’t tell Liam that, he would only laugh it off.“You there, come over here,” I called a guard and he walked towards me and bowed. “Lead me to the dungeon.”For a split second, there was hesitation in his eyes but then he walked in front of me and led me to the extreme end of the hallway. To the left, there was a metal door I had never seen before. He pushed it open and all I saw beyond was darkness, he lit a torch and we headed down stairs made of stone, not tiled like the rest of the house. It was like we were in a completely different place, the whole place was dark apart from the torch and
Tyler’s POV“Oh shit, see that look in his eyes, Tyler, we’re fucked. If you thought leaving Roseline in that state wasn’t bad enough, what the hell are you going to call this?” My wolf remarked, I could detect the panic and fear in his voice.Liam had been so dumb to lock her up, why? Didn’t he see this coming? How was I supposed to tell Liam or even tell Roseline’s father that his daughter was in a cold cell, in a dark dungeon, gasping for air while seemingly losing consciousness? I looked at Liam, his face was set impassively and his eyes gleamed like crystals, what was going on in his mind? Better still, what was going on in the mind of Roseline’s father? My thoughts wandered off to countless wild possibilities, I was already sweating before I had the guts to take another step forward.“There he is, the Beta king of this city, Tyler, right?” Roseline’s father asked and all eyes turned and settled on me.I was so tense and I struggled to keep my voice calm, one wrong step and poof,
Roseline’s povThis rollercoaster of a story of mine is drawing to a close and I had a very big decision to make. Despite having so much power, I needed to reunite with my mate, or rather mates which unfortunately meant, it was destiny to end up with both Liam and Tyler.“What do you propose?” Tyler asked, standing up and pulling Liam back.I smirked, “What do I propose? It’s not what I propose, it’s what I decree.” Here it came, the first phase of my revenge. “Your city wouldn’t be able to stand on its own again due to the economic and financial crisis it faces currently. That leaves you and your people helpless, you have to join my father’s city, not as a sub-city, but as a pack under it.” Liam’s eyes widened, he was about to speak but I silenced him. “You should learn the habit of keeping shut until I’m so done talking. Dispose of your gamma and the Gamma King, you shall be the Alpha King and Beta King respectively, under my father’s city.”“That’s absurd, Roseline! Have you forgo
Roseline’s PovI was so tense, I had never been clothed in an attire this beautiful. I wore a dazzling black gown and my body was embellished with golden jewelry. When the rooftop opened and I saw the wolf moon above, I felt a connection to it instantly. The ovation from the crowd of werewolf dignitaries and royalty below was deafening, at that point I didn’t realize just how big I had become.A golden crown was placed on my head and I rose and turned slowly to face the crowd below, another round of loud cheers and chants I didn’t understand erupted. It didn’t take me long to notice the two men in the hall that were not celebrating, but rather in shock. A smile crossed my lips as I saw the shocked expression on Liam and Tyler’s faces, I regaled in the moment as a triumphant feeling flooded through me.This was it, the moment I had been waiting for all along. Suddenly a voice whispered into my ears, “Hold still.”I only understood what it meant when I felt something like a powerful ext
Liam’s povJust as it was supposed to be, letters of invitation to the coronation of the Queen of the immortal carnage were addressed to Tyler and me and a few other important members of my pack. I stared at mine, “About time.” I said. “I don’t feel like going, I have a strange feeling about it,” Tyler said, sitting up abruptly from one of the chairs on the other side of my office table. I rolled my eyes, “You’re always having feelings about this and that. You had feelings for Lina, she died, and you also had strange feelings about that all-important deal, it collapsed, now a harmless coronation ails you too?” I scoffed and lit a cigarette. He glared at me, "Watch It, Liam, you know very well that Lina died because of a war you started years ago and that deal collapsed because you were dumb enough to hold Roseline captive. Don’t push anything on me.” He retorted. “Let’s not go back and forth, Tyler, it bores me. We need to focus on the future, on the plan that would get that pest
Roseline’s pov “Roseline!” Anna rose abruptly and with unbelievable strength, she heaved me up with one arm. “Do you know what you’re talking about? Do you know what you’re getting yourself into? The queen of the immortal carnage isn’t just any regular person, she’s above everyone else.” She exclaimed and all I could see was shock and worry in her beautiful eyes. “I know,” I said calmly and she turned to our father. “Dad, are you hearing what she’s saying?” She asked. My father stared at me, his eyes were calm and only a flicker of surprise flashed through them. “Roseline, why are you taking this decision? That position is even higher than me, your father, do you know what you’re getting yourself into?” I snapped, it was the kind of attitude I needed to handle this situation, “Dad, Anna, why are both treating me like a little kid? I know all about this, I know what I’m getting myself into. When it was the day of my wedding, I ran to Anna for help and we both came to you and every
Tyler’s POVI was badly shaken by the whole turnaround of events, Liam had messed us up pretty badly and I didn’t mind saying it to his face in the sour mood I was in. A lot of things should have been considered, such as the deal, how much power Roseline’s father held, and the safety of our city. After they had left, Liam retreated to his apartment and didn’t come out for the rest of the day, I was so pissed, I headed home.I was greeted by a suffocating loneliness, everywhere I turned and touched, Lina was there. It was so intoxicating, the staff in the house must have felt it too. I gathered all of them later that evening and gave them an indefinite break.“You can all leave, do not come back until I tell you to,” I said. It was a brief meeting and they all nodded and went their separate ways.I couldn’t sleep here, not like this. I packed a few things, locked everything up, and headed to my mother’s place where she was with my sisters.“A pleasant surprise, son.” My mother said as
Roseline’s POVI pictured it in my head, exactly the way the moon goddess had said it and I saw everything falling into place. I couldn’t understand why Anna was so tense and sad about it though. Although she would disappoint our father and probably most of the people in our pack, it was still up to her, she was supposed to have the final say, wasn’t she?“Anna.” The moment I called her name, she burst into tears and I had to bring her down to sit next to me, then I gently stroked her hair. “I don’t think it’s something you should be this sad about,” I said.She looked up with red eyes and said, “How could you be this ignorant, Roseline?” She asked and I was very confused by her question.“What do you mean?” I asked, it was as though I had uttered a blasphemy or something.“Dad will be furious, everyone in the pack will be furious. No one has ever turned down the position of the queen of the immortal Carnage, I’ll be antagonized in this pack where I’m so loved.” She said, sobbing hyst
Roseline’s povWhen I woke up, it was the only thing I thought about for hours, it reverberated in my head. The exact words of the goddess, I was going to be an ultimate ruler. I couldn’t doubt the words of the goddess, all I wanted to see was how it would all play out. Surely someone else must have been ordained to be the queen of the Immortal Carnage, the moon goddess had mentioned that it was supposed to be Anna. But with my reincarnation, it was my place now.I couldn’t wait, with such powers, I could wipe Liam and Tyler out in an hour without even having to do a thing. The supreme ruler of the Immortal Carnage meant ruling over the entire werewolf nation. A smile played on my lips, a smile that held the satisfaction and excitement sizzling in me.But what did the words of the Moon Goddess mean? What did she mean by a test of my wisdom and spirit when I had the feeling of power? I pondered on it for a long time but I couldn’t come to a reasonable conclusion or even a conjecture. I
Roseline’s povI struggled to my feet and when Tyler tried to help me, I slapped his hand away. He tried to assist me again and I still slapped his hand away.“Let me be, don’t you dare touch me with those dirty hands of yours.” I snapped, glaring at him with disgust.When I looked at Liam, a sadistic smile formed on my lips and I stared into his eyes drowsily.“You killed Cyrus, he was my favorite of them all, actually that was the commander of the first battalion I had ever led. You must feel like you’re something, isn’t that the case?” I asked, but he remained silent. “If it was how it had been before you killed me the first time, I would have spent weeks or even months here, but now look at you. You’re frightened, wondering if I was still alive.” I walked closer to him until I was only a meter or so away from him. “Things have changed.”“I haven’t.” He said flatly, not tearing his eyes away from the gaze.“You will,” I said matter-of-factly, in a voice thick with contempt. “That w
Roseline’s povThere was no doubt in my mind that my father would have already started a search for me, it wouldn’t be a difficult task to find me. The fallen battalion he had assigned to me would make it easier, I felt really bad, I had taken an army and had all of them slayed. That was my only regret, I had dragged a young commander and his whole army to their death. If I had died alone or got captured without the whole battalion being wiped out, it would have been a completely different case. The night I was imprisoned, I had cried bitterly, but not for myself, not for the dark and scary cell I had been locked up in, but for my fallen army. It was a burden of guilt in my heart and it would remain so for a very long time.Before I had left the mansion, Anna had rushed towards me with a small sac in her hand, before she got to me, I already knew she was going to scold me from the look in her eyes. I had braced myself with a knowing smile on my face.“I won’t even start to talk about
