It stirred something dead to life inside Zach. He wasn't afraid to die. All his fear vanishes in thin air.

He was finally going to meet his dewdrop.

Even if it meant after death.

“ She… she saved me from those looters. She was a thief herself.. So I got this idea. I gave her an opportunity to visit the ball pretending to be me.”

“ I gave her my scent bottle. My name. My clothes.”

“ She could loot there all that she wanted for a day.”

“ And that's where you both met.”

Things were making sense now. Why Zach thought Eirene was his mate when she wasn't. Why she smelt like her.

“ I returned to Caleb. We were happy but… we lacked the basics. We had no pace to stay, no food. Nothing.”

“ And then I we got the news of your marriage.”

“ You married Eirene thinking her to be me. Your mate.”

Caleb smirks to speak next. His head stays dipped in Emerald ‘s neck.

“ And then we made a plan. Em here was to return and you would know that your dearest Eirene had been nothing bu

Glad he knew the full truth before he is going to die.. the other truth is Aiden being his biological son so the true heir

So he did come to love his mate for the past 8 years when I thought he only loved Eirene even after she was thought to have died .. He chose his mate over Eirene so he deserve what he got . The only person he let down were Eirene and their child..

    Zachary's POV Flashback " Your Highness, the wound on your arm is deep. Why don't you stitch it up first?" I dismiss Ron to remove my armour. We just returned from a war in the neighbouring pack, those rogues managed to tear my arm and I could feel blood dripping down my forearm. But I didn't have time to tend to it. This can wait. I need to see my dewdrop first. Its been 3 fuc*ing days since I have seen her beautiful eyes and heard her voice. This is the longest I have stayed away from her in the last 4 freaking months. " I am alright. Where is your Luna?" " She must be in her room. But first-" " I am fine, Beta." Dismissing his comment, I walk up the long staircase. Excitement bubbles inside me at the thought of seeing her. All the fatigue and pains will be gone once I have her in my embrace. I wonder what she will be doing? Waiting for me? I chuckle. Of course not. My dewdrop can't sit idle. She must be helping someone or rather playing with the maids kids

  • To Betray The Alpha King   Who are you?

    " Mother?" I whisper, shocked staring at her brown orbs that lacked familiarity. The once naivety and innocence in them was gone replaced with a bone-chilling indifference. Taking the herbs from Aiden's arm. She resumes her work and my insides scream at me to just get up and pull her in my arms. To demand all answers from her and do everything I could to ignite that lost spark. To hear her voice, see her smile. To tell her how fucking sorry I am. To drop to her knees and beg for forgiveness and do whatever it takes to bring my Dewdrop back. " How are you feeling, Dad?" I feel small palms resting on my face and my eyes snap up to meet Aiden's concerned ones. Same eye colour, striking familiarity. It was all in front of me! The name Dad leaving his lips had my insides scream in joy. This time everything has changed. Aiden is somewhere around 7 years 6 months. And that incident happened 8 years ago. He has to be mine. Fuc*! I must be the most lucky person to be alive.

    " Maital!" " Eirene!" The door is slammed open and I see Rowan and Raven rushing in. Worry stands evident on their faces. Before I know Rowan steps forwards and grabs Eirene's arm. Pulling her towards him. " Calm down Maital. Relax. Everything is fine." The only thing I could see was his hand enclosing her arm. He was touching her. And she was not pulling back. She didn't flinch like she did when I approached her. She rather looks into Rowan's eyes and nods. A deep sigh leaves her lips. " I am fine." How do they know each other? When did they meet? We're they dating? They looked comfortable. The very thought had me clenching my fist and see red. I could imagine him touching her, caressing her skin, kissing those lips- Fuck! No! Never! Next I know, she looks down at my clenched fists and walks out of the room. That blank look stays plastered on her face. Rowan and Raven exchange a look while I feel something wet drip down my palms and wrists. My blood. I had c

  • To Betray The Alpha King   Too numb to feel

    Eirene ‘s POV Numbness. That's all that I have felt for the last 8 damn years. Nothing matters anymore. Powers, luxury, kingdoms, emotions, concern. Nothing. Blank. It’s more of a blessing than a weakness. A life of keeping no expectations, no hopes, no love and no regrets. I was happy living in it. My simple plain world with my little Aiden the centre of my world. But then it happened. He happened. The circle of true being wasn't a coincidence. A little later I understood why that circle teleported Aiden to his kingdom of all places in this world. Elementals are masters at manifestation. And the space element has been their leader since ages. The circle of true being gives you what is your hearts most deep yet true desire. And Zachary King was my son’s only desire. His father. Sitting on a large rock, outside the hut. With a small lit fire. I lean back to stare up at the moon. Moon goddess. Indeed she was messed up. If giving a man like Caden as my mate wasn

    Zachary’s pov I sit in the centre with a widespread map in front of me. Circling the first capital. I sighs to look up. “ Rinderhale territory. Alpha Madox. He is our first destination.” Raven and Rowan nod. Ready to abide by my order. When a voice speaks from behind. “ It seems you are too eager to get us killed, your highness.” The mockery was evident in her tone. Leaning against the wall, she blankly stares at me and I match her stare. “ What do you mean?” “ If you plan to go to each territory one by one. It will take days if not months. You are forgetting the most important constraint here, time.” She wasn't wrong. With Caden at our hot pursuit and my bodies weakening state. Time has always been a constraint. Yet it wasn't what had surprised everyone. Or rather me. The answer to the silence was her audacity to counter my decision. No one dares to raise their eyes in front of me, let alone say anything against it. But then, she wasn't just anyone. She was

    “ Dewdrop!” “ Dewdrop wait dammit!” He was struggling to reach her, but she doesn't stop. Her long strides stay dominant. “Fuck Eirene!” Grabbing her wrist he turns her around to push her back against the tree. Slamming his palms on either side of her head, he keeps her pinned. Those brown eyes sweep up to meet his. While Zach struggled to control his breath. His body was still weary, he shouldn't exert himself. But he can’t help. This woman is gonna be the death of him. “ Whats you problem Eirene. The least we can be is civil! Stop behaving like I don't even exist!” Her eyes were telling a different story. Pressing her clenched fists to her chest, she looks between her wrist and his eyes. The place where he touched her. “ Touch me again, Your Highness and I swear your filthy hands will be burned to ashes within seconds.” Her eyes held a promise but she was mistaken if she thought he will give up on this. On her. On them. Holding her stare he leans in more

    Zachary’s pov I was throwing my clothes into a duffle bag when I heard a commotion outside. Zipping up the bag, I sling it over my shoulder to step out. Aiden had tears in his eyes, and that little girl Saph stood beside him. Aiden’s fingers grip the hem of Eirene’s shirt. Her eyes were lifeless as she stared down at our son. “ Momma please. I want to go with you.” “ I won’t trouble you I promise. I won’t cause any trouble.” “ Just this once!” She looks at Rowan and he sighs to approach him. Crouching down beside him, he holds Aiden’s face in his palms. “ Mumchkin it’s very dangerous out there. We all want you safe.She will be back in a week before you even know it.” “ No! I said I want to go with her! Don't touch me!” Aiden pushes back Rowan’s hand from his face to seethe. And I was surprised seeing the determination in them. He loves her more than anything, I can see it. And it swells my chest with a strange feeling. Eirene’s eyes continue to show nonchalan

    I feel a zap travel through my body as soon as I step into the Rinderhale territory. I hate saying this but the aura of this place says for itself. This place is evil… pure evil. If anything I can even feel the energy of spirits roaming around this place. Spirits that never found salvation and stayed trapped because of an unnatural death. Ignoring it I continue to step further in when soon I hear the sound of heavy footsteps echoing around. They are coming. Good. At least their patrol is doing their work correctly. Within a minute I am surrounded by men from all the directions and I lean back on a tree bark to look at them bored. Finding my broken nail more attractive than their existence. “ Speak your purpose of visit…. Rogue.” One of them spits out in vexation and I sigh straightening up to my full height. Delving my hands into my pockets I speak, nonchalant. “ Maddox. I want to meet him.” The next thing I know one of them leaps on my back to pin me to the ground, ty

  • To Betray The Alpha King   The Dark Age

    20 years later…. Somewhere in the deserted lands. A woman’s breaths came in ragged gasps as she sprinted through the desolate streets, her heart pounding in her chest. Her clothing was tattered and filthy, remnants of once-sturdy fabric now hanging in rags. Dirt and grime smeared her skin, and blood trickled from a fresh cut on her forehead, the result of a close encounter with a jagged piece of debris. The cold, ashen wind whipped through her tangled hair, stinging her eyes and stealing what little warmth her body had left. Clutched tightly in her arms was a small, precious bundle of food—enough to sustain her for a few days, maybe more if rationed carefully. She had risked everything to obtain it, but now she was paying the price. Behind her, a frenzied mob gave chase, their faces twisted with desperation and hunger. Shouts, growls and curses echoed through the empty streets, the sound growing louder with each passing moment. Sera's legs burned with exhaustion, every muscle

  • To Betray The Alpha King   The End (1)

    The scene begins with silence, broken only by Aiden’s anguished sobs. The patch of grass beneath his knees feels cold, damp from the dew of a night that would never see dawn. His fingers rake the earth, trembling as he claws at it, desperate to find some semblance of reality in a world that seemed to crumble before his eyes.“No…” His voice is hoarse, barely audible. “This can’t be real… No…”He shakes his head violently, his tears falling onto the grass. His breath comes in sharp, uneven bursts as he presses his palms into the ground, trying to push himself to his feet. When he finally stands, his legs wobble beneath him, threatening to collapse with the weight of his despair. He turns his gaze to Saph, crouching beside him, her small frame trembling as she cries into her hands.“Saph,” he whispers, his voice cracking as he grabs her shoulders and pulls her up to face him. “Hey, Saph. Don’t cry, okay? Don’t worry. They’re fine—Momma and Dad are fine.”His words sound hollow even to h

    Zachary’s body felt heavy, his heart throbbing like a wound that refused to heal. He could feel the weight of the moment pressing down on him, each breath more labored than the last. The storm, the crashing waves, the air—their fury was a palpable force, like a dark hand creeping toward him. He closed his eyes, resigned to the inevitable. The world was ending, and there was nothing left to fight for.“Goodbye, Son,” he whispered hoarsely, the words laced with a sorrow too deep to express.“Aiden... Dadda loves you.” The finality of it cut through him like a dagger, sharp and unforgiving.“Nooooo!” Aiden’s scream broke through the tension, raw and frantic. Zachary’s heart clenched as the sound echoed around him—his son, desperate, helpless.But before the torrent could touch him, before the wind could tear him apart and the water could swallow him whole, a figure appeared—Eirene.She moved with a fierce determination, her body blocking the inevitable like a shield.

    Aiden’s right leg was impatiently thumping against the wooden floor, his hands clammy as he looked up at the ticking wall clock. Two hours have passed, he can feel the tremors every few minutes, but since the last ten minutes there have been none. He couldn't help pray to the moon goddess. Everyone please be fine. Moon goddess please protect them. A hand rests on his shaking leg and Aiden looks up to meet Saph’s eyes( Sera and Saph are the same). “ Calm down. They are gonna be fine.” He interlocks his fingers with her to press them to his chest. Closing his eyes. He takes deep breath when he feels that gnawing in his chest return.Something is wrong… terribly wrong. He can feel it. The pain, the desperation. “ This is enough. I can’t stay here anymore.” Getting up on his feet Aiden proclaims when Raven’s anxious eyes meet his. They have brought Aiden here, miles away from the battlefield before the war even began. These were Eirene and Zach’s instructions and the little b

    To an outsider, it might have looked like the heavens themselves opened their gates, and chaos poured out. A colossal wave, commanded by Zaid, surged forward, casting a shadow over the battlefield and drowning the cries of terror in its deafening roar. The resisting army faltered, panic spreading like wildfire as the wave moved with sentient intent, its every motion controlled by Zaid’s elemental power.“Take it, motherfuckers! Die!” Zaid’s manic laughter rang across the field as he unleashed his fury.But just as the wave threatened to swallow everything, a powerful roar split through the chaos.“Stand your ground!” Zachary’s voice boomed, unwavering, as he dropped to his knees and placed his hand firmly against the trembling earth. The veins in his arms bulged with strain as he summoned his strength. The ground beneath them answered his call, erupting upward to form a massive barrier of rock and earth. The wall collided with the wave, forcing it to break and redirect its wrath back

    The sheets were ripped to tatters, the furniture in the room upturned and broken as he took her in every corner of the room. Eirene’s moans echo around as her nails dig into his naked back, head polled back and eyes rolling over as he thrusts inside her. Filling her, making her feel complete in years. “ Zach.., ahh” He continues to kiss each and every inch of her skin, his lips claiming her neck to descend down to her chest and naval. Her legs tremble body comes undone and he watches her, loving her dripping with wetness. Placing her back on the bed, he continues to show her the heights of ecstscy she has missed. Her hand tug on his hair this time, almost begging him to take her. There was dominance in his touch, yet submission in his eyes. A roughness of his hands yet softness of his lips. Eirene is taken back all those years to that night she did it with him for the first time. And she won’t lie. She felt alive after years. Back in his arms. The line between what is

    The pain becomes unbearable, I start clawing my chest and when I thought its all over? A hand slams on my chest and my back is pushed against a wall. My hazy vision shows me those brown orbs. “ Damm it!” She curses, to only pull out some herbs from her pocket. Placing them in her own mouth, she chews on them before pushing them into my mouth. “ Chew on them dammit!” I blankly stare at her concerned eyes, slowly moving my mouth. While any other person would be scared of death right now all I could think of was that I had her juices in my mouth. Like literally. She chewed on those herbs before giving them to me. Did she indirectly kiss me? I am fucked up for thinking like this. What level of crazy would define that? But then this is what I am for her. Madly insanely in love with my dewdrop. My heart starts calming down and I see relief flood in her eyes as she places her palm on my chest, monitoring my heartbeat. A trail of sweat dribbles down her chin and I lift my hea

  • To Betray The Alpha King   The New World Order

    One month later…. The werewolf Kingdom has been taken over by the new King and Queen; Caden and Emerald. The prior King Zachary was declared to be dead with his absence from the court and his service to the world was honoured with a death ceremony. From the very first day Caleb took the throne, council heads were called and all the laws in the werewolf code of conduct have been re written. Despite the resistance from the four packs ( Resisting allies) who have still not accepted him as the king, his rule prevailed. The people were ecstatic to have a new King. With Zachary’s prolonged ailment, commoners long started doubting his ability to lead their world. They wanted a new ruler, new ideologies, fresh blood and they had him. But as they say, if you want to see someone’s true colours? Give them power. The taxes were tripled, burdening the common people, with the simple reason that funds were needed if a war was to break out with the four resisting packs. The council became a

    My body was moving on its own accord, aligning itself to him, moving towards him, begging him like a bitch. And he watches it, denying and allowing whenever he wished. Dancing me to his tunes, making me damp the very betsheets under me. “ That pervert thought he could touch this, huh?” He continues to lay kisses all over my chest and neck. “ He thought he could even look at you?” Lifting up my wrists, he starts kissing my fingers and I feel my toes curl. That look in his eyes, he almost looked mad, insane. “ You were and will forever be mine, Dewdrop! Mine! Anyone who even dares to touch you! Is dead!” His eye were carnal, almost animalistic like there is no tomorrow. And I won’t lie. I felt a shiver of fear yet possesiveness travel down my spine. “ Umm Zach…” I moan a muffled scream and he crashed his lips on mine. Not stopping even for a second, to let me speak. My body burns up like a furnace, his arms wrap around me in a protective band and the next thing I k
