Rose's POVI watched as Liam's gaze shifted from me to his Beta, Daniel, who had an expression of shock etched across his face. A sense of relief washed over me, knowing that Liam's attention was now diverted. This was my chance, a moment of respite from the constant presence of the Alpha King. I needed some breathing space.Liam's demeanor had always been stern and commanding, but lately, there had been a subtle shift in his behavior toward me. It was disconcerting, to say the least. I wasn't accustomed to acts of kindness from him, and it left me feeling unsettled. How could someone so cold and distant suddenly become caring and considerate? It was as if I had stumbled upon a completely different person.As I looked around, I noticed that even the pack doctor was absent. With their attention focused elsewhere, I could overhear snippets of conversations floating in the air. Whispers carried by the wind reached my ears, and my curiosity got the better of me. I moved closer to the door
Tyler's POVHere I was stocked with Rose I didn't like the atmosphere but then there was nothing I could do about it, the air seemed tense, and the faces that greeted me wore strange expressions, the looked at me as though I was a stranger just because I came with Lina who I have chosen to be by me. It was as if they didn't welcome my return, but I couldn't fathom why. The pack doctor, an old and wise man, bowed respectfully and greeted me, but his eyes held a flicker of hesitation before he quickly turned away not wanting me to notice but then it was too late cause I had already noticed…As I scanned the surroundings, my gaze met Roseline's, and I saw shock and confusion etched across her face. She stood frozen, unsure of what to say or how to react. The silence hung heavy between us, suffocating any attempts at conversation. I could sense her apprehension, her uncertainty about being in my presence. It was as if she were afraid, and it pained me to see her like this.The pack doctor
Roseline's POVI couldn't believe what had just happened. Tyler, the man I had come to care for deeply, had left without saying a word. It was as if he had vanished into thin air, leaving behind a void in my heart. I replayed our last encounter in my mind, searching for any clues or signs that could have forewarned me of his sudden departure.We had shared many intimate moments, both physically and emotionally. Tyler had been my confidant, my rock in this chaotic world. He had rescued me from a life of exploitation and had shown me what it meant to be loved. But now, he is gone, leaving me with a mix of emotions that I struggled to comprehend.Despite the pain of his absence, there was a small glimmer of happiness within me. Tyler had finally found a wife for himself, someone who would treat him with the respect and love he deserved. I had always known that our relationship was complicated, born out of a desperate need for companionship and survival. I had been the one he turned to w
Liam's POVI was seething with anger as I heard the rumors about Tyler and Roseline. How could he betray my trust like that? We had an agreement, a promise to each other, and he had broken it without a second thought. Tyler promised not to share Roseline alone, but it seemed he couldn't keep his word. What infuriated me, even more, was the fact that he didn't have the decency to tell me about it. I had to find out through gossip and whispers, and it burned me up inside.But amidst my fury, I knew I had to be careful. I had my secret to protect, one that I couldn't afford to spill out. So I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself, and made up my mind. It was time to confront Tyler and make him understand the gravity of his actions.I stormed down the corridor, my footsteps echoing with determination. With each step, my anger only grew stronger. I reached Tyler's room and didn't bother knocking. I wanted him to know that this was no casual visit, but a confrontation borne out of betra
Tyler's POVAs Lina looked at me, her eyes filled with concern and confusion, I knew I had to find a way to deflect her questions. The presence of the Alpha King and the argument that had just taken place was not something I could easily share. It was too dangerous, too destructive. So, I brushed off her inquiry with a dismissive smile."It's nothing, Lina," I replied, trying to keep my voice steady. "Just some business matters that needed to be discussed. Nothing for you to worry about."She wasn't convinced. Her brows furrowed, and her gaze intensified. Lina always had a way of seeing through my facade, of sensing when something was off. She wasn't going to let me off the hook that easily."But Tyler," she pressed, her voice tinged with frustration. "This isn't the time for secrets. Your parents and sister are coming over, and they deserve to know what's going on. You need to be serious and answer them."Her words hit me like a wave, reminding me of the responsibility I had for my
Roseline’s POVLiam barged into the room, his presence commanding and intimidating. The moment his eyes locked with mine, a chill ran down my spine, and I felt a knot form in the pit of my stomach. With a stern look etched upon his face, he approached me, leaving me feeling vulnerable and unsure of what was about to unfold.I stood frozen, my mind racing to comprehend the situation. Why was Liam so agitated? What had I done to invoke such a reaction from him? The questions swirled in my mind, but before I could gather my thoughts, his hand shot out and firmly gripped the back of my head. The pain was sharp and immediate, causing me to gasp in surprise."Wh-What's happening?" I stammered my voice barely above a whisper. The fear coursing through me was palpable, and my heart pounded against my ribcage like a caged animal desperately seeking escape.Liam's grip tightened, his fingers digging into my scalp, as he demanded to know my purpose in this place. The question caught me off guard
Liam’s POV.As I watched Tyler seething with anger, I couldn't help but wonder how things had escalated so quickly. It felt like a whirlwind of emotions, all because of Rosaline. The intensity in Tyler's eyes was enough to send shivers down my spine, and yet, I knew I had to confront him. I couldn't let his threats go unanswered.Taking a deep breath, I turned to face Tyler, determined to stand my ground. My heart raced, and a mix of fear and adrenaline coursed through my veins. This was uncharted territory for me, challenging a friend like this. But Tyler had crossed a line, and I couldn't simply stand by and watch."Tyler," I said, my voice quivering slightly, "I can't let you speak to me like that. It's not just about Rosaline; it's about respect and boundaries."Tyler's eyes narrowed, and his face contorted with anger. "You think you can just waltz in and lay hands on her whenever you, please? Well, think again, Liam. You don't know what I'm capable of."His words struck a nerve,
Roseline's POVI stood there, silently observing the interaction between them. Roseline, that's me, and I knew exactly what was going on between Tyler and the kings. Their secret meetings, the hushed conversations, the exchanged glances - it was all too evident. However, I wasn't going to speak. My misconceptions about Tyler's real intentions were exactly what he was afraid of, and I had to use them to my advantage.As I stood in the shadows, watching their every move, a sense of urgency consumed me. I realized that if I said anything, not only would I jeopardize their plans, but I would also put myself in grave danger. The kings were powerful, with resources at their disposal that could crush me in an instant. No, I had to be cautious and come up with a plan that would ensure my survival.My mind raced, trying to conceive a solid plan. It had to be something quick, something that would enable me to escape their clutches. Killing the kings, cursing them, or even manipulating them to f
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
