I walk down the footpath with the crunches, my mind preoccupied. The King's words repeat in my mind.

" Take your time. But I need an answer in affirmation. No one will know of this. You will continue to live in my pack like any other pack member. You will attend the school and do all that the kids of your age do."

" Until the day I officially announce it."

Why? This doesn't make sense. Why does he want to adopt me? Shouldn't the heir be the King's own blood?

Something seems off. Terribly wrong.

I reach the hut to only find a figure pacing in front of it. The girl's eyes stop on me and I see relief flood in.

" Where did you go? Grandma was going to kill me if something happened to you. Do you only think about yourself? How selfish can you be!"

I walk past her to whisper.

" The King summoned me."

That had her mouth open in shock.

" Oh"

" What did he say?"

" Nothing."

Opening the door to my room I settle on the bed and keep aside my crunches. She walks in, sta

    Zachary's pov " What do you mean by that Zach? Adoption?" Emerald looks at me with horror while I sip from the coffee cup cradled in my palms. " Yes. He is a brave and intelligent child. I am sure you will love him when you get to meet him-" " I don't want to meet him! I am not adopting a kid, Zach! Did it ever occur to you even once to ask me about this! I am your wife! How can you take this decision on your own." I really don't understand what's wrong with her. I thought she will be elated with the news. Pacing the room, she tugs on her hair looking worried. To be honest, I haven't seen her like this in years. She is always very calm and composed. Hell, she took my diseases news better than this. " You are being irrational Em. What's gotten in you?" She stops to look at me. A scoff leaves her lips. " Me? What's gotten in you! Just day before yesterday you were so sure to hand over everything to Caleb! And now you say you want that rogue brat to be our next

    “ M-A-I-T-A-T” My hand suddenly stops and the familiar ache hits my chest. Aiden continues to repeat the spelling for me but my hand refuses to move. I dive into oblivion. “ Your Highness!” “ Sir!” “ Your Highness!” His soft small hands shake me and I snap back to reality. Blinking , I stare into his blue eyes lost. “ It’s TAL. Maital. My mom’s name is Maital.” “ Yes. Right.” Gulping I complete the word but couldn’t draw my eyes away from it. “ If momma comes here. I will be more than happy. Living as rogues isn’t easy. We both will finally have a place to call home.” The kid was bleaming with the news that I agreed, but all I could think was that word. MAITAL Being the Alpha King, learning different languages is a part of my job.I am fluent in many languages and Hebrew is one of them. Maital is a Hebrew word and in simple terms it means… “ What happened? I can’t feel your shift in aura.” Aiden suddenly goes serious, his eyes search mine for answers and I

    Rick, Charles and Lucas stand with their head lowered and their heart thumping in their chest. Their parents stood behind them, but they provided no respite or comfort to the children hearts. The aura of the woman who stood in front with her back to them was enough to piss their pants. " I am going to ask you one last time kids. Where did you go and where are others? " Raven, who stood beside the figure. Speaks. Her voice lacing in authority.And the kids again settle with silence. " Our kids don't know anything,Raven. Interrogating them will not give you anything. They are scared, can't you see?" One of the parent says and Raven's eyes only narrow at the kids. " They wouldn't be scared if they had nothing to hide." " 3 of our pack children are missing since the last 5 days. I am sure as parents you can feel how their parents must be feeling." Stepping closer to the first one, Raven crouched to his level. Rick takes a step back, clinging to his father. " You all wen

    Des and Harold rush into their parents open arms while Maital's anxious eyes stay fixated on the door. Her hope keeps diminishing with every passing second. And then she heard a familiar voice. " These kids came into my territory and asked for help. When I asked, they said your name." Mital turns around to look at the Alpha, who is in his 30's. His green eyes look at her in concern. " Thank you, Rowan." The emotions were missing from Maital's voice. Rowan could see it. And he knew why. " Aiden sent them." That made those brown eyes to snap up. Her heart thuds in her chest. Des and Harold step forward to approach Maital. " We are so sorry.It is all our mistake. Aiden... he.. " Both kids enter into sobs and Maital's eyes narrow at them. " Tell me from the beginning. What happened?" And that's when they both tell Maital everything. Starting from how they got pulled into the circle, to get teleported to the Werewolf King's territory. As soon as the word, the Were

    Flashback- Night of the accident The dungeons. Raven’s meeting time was up. She should have left, but she was feeling strange. She didn't want to leave Eirene alone here. She couldn't trust the men here. Especially Willson. Pacing the empty hallway, her thoughts come to seize when she sees Wilson returning from the dungeons. She hides behind the wall, to breathe heavily. The door slams shut and Raven sneaks out to peek in. " Y...yes Sir. Th..the child in her womb is the next heir of our Kingdom." Wilson was talking to someone on the phone. Could it be Zach? Raven wondered. Intrigued by their conversation. " Sir? There?" " What do you want me to do next?" " Understood Sir. No one will doubt you. " He puts the receiver down and cracks his neck. Lighting a lighter, he stares at the flames to whisper. " The fire I light tonight is going to burn you down to ashes, Phoenix. " " And this time? You will not be rising back from it. " " I promise." Raven’s he

    He looks down to find Eirene’s fingers gripping it. Those Brown eyes struggle to stay open. “ Eirene! What have you done? It's the only proof of your child's identity-” “ No… I will gi…ve him m..y identity…” “ Zach is his father! What are you saying? Rowan, just take her-” “ I said No!” Eirene’s tone was enough to end all negotiations. The authority in her voice made Raven drop her head while Rowan looked down at the girl in his arms with a strange emotion. She was strong. Very strong. He thought she must be broken till now, considering what all she has endured but the woman Phoenix was indeed what everyone said. Undefeatable. “ Zach ordered Wil…son to kill me… I can't..” “ Wilson could be lying Eirene. Don’t tell me you believe him!” “ I trust… no one now Raven… not even him.” “ I just want… to go away from… all this… far far away…Raven…” Raven sighs to look down at the stubborn woman. Eirene won't agree. But somewhere in her heart, Raven could understand

Keeping my fist clenched and as soon as my fist touch his jaw, he blocks again to whisper. " Faster Aiden. It's all about the reflexes." I nod to try again and we continue for the next few hours. We were in-between the training when suddenly your highness enters into a series of coughs. He pulls back and rushes to turn his back on me. Reaching a tree bark, he starts vomiting. My heart drops. He was fine just now, what happened all of a sudden. I rush forward to help when he shows me his hand. My steps freeze. I am feeling strange suddenly. There is this grawning in my chest. His aura, it has suddenly turned very weak and vulnerable. What's with this strange thing I am feeling? First that woman, the Luna. I don't think I have ever despised a person by feeling their aura alone. It was all evil, sugar coate

    The carriage drives through the deserted forest road and Rowan looked lost in his thoughts.Raven looks out of the window, her petite hands wringle in anxiousness. “ I just hope Aiden is fine. If something happens to him I am never going to forgive Eirene.” “ Does she have no care about her son? A week passed since Aiden went missing. And all she did was wait. I no longer recognise her anymore. How can a person be so cold hearted? Does she have no feelings left in her? Not even for her son?” “ Aiden doesn't deserve this Rowan. Have you seen the kid? He is too scared to share how he feels with her. Train. Train. Combat. That's all she teaches him. Hell I haven’t seen that mother son duo share a hug in the lat 8 years!” “ He sleeps in a separate room since he was 4! She never smiles! Not even with him! What do I make of this!” “ Eirene is raising a warrior, not a son!” Silence stretches and then Rowan sighs to speak. “ She hides them. Isn't it obvious?” “ Hides? From wh

    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

    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

    The most beautiful and prosperous kingdom of all, the Royal lands was on the verge of getting turned into ruins. Fires had been lit, soldiers have intruded and treasures were ready to be looted.With eight enemy packs striking together, bordering the kingdom from all direction. Escaping was no longer an option. And maybe that's why the ruler has materialised walls of trees and depths of trenches to surround it. To protect his people till he could. Yet, the question remained. How long will the King protect them when he himself was surving on counted breaths. How long can one man fight against millions? And especially now, when his soul had been shattered by the betrayal of that one person he loved more than anyone? “ Em?” Her name left Zachary’s trembling bloody lips but no emotion becomes evident on her face. Lowering the barrel, she steps over his body to walk towards Caleb’s coughing frame. “ Baby? Are you alright?” She cups Celeb’s face and helps him get up. “ I

    Zachary’s POV ‘I threw her to my men to be broken and tamed. They took their turns.’ ‘A toy first needs to be broken to be made according to your choice and taste.’ Each word the bastard spoke plunged a knife into my heart and the words Eirene told me suddenly started making sense. ‘I slept with another man. I am not a virgin.’ ‘I don't deserve you.’ ‘What if you get bored of me someday?’ It has all happened with her before. Her fears were not baseless.That bastard, her very mate pretended to love her and when he got bored of her? He tossed her to his men to be abused? Why didn't I realise it? Fuck! The way she flinched when I first touched her. That constant fear and lost look in her eyes. How her hands always trembled when they touched me. How she was always weary and on high alert. How it took months for her to finally relax and feel comfortable in my arms. Ex mate. Caleb. Rape? “ Villains and heroes are not born, Zachary. They are made. Never judge a pe

    Aiden was waiting for that moment when a searing pain tears him and he takes his last breath. When his tender neck gets ripped under the beasts canines and his blood gets spilled along with thousands of others. He waited. Seconds pass. No sound was audible. And Aiden opens his palms to suddenly feel an aura of fear and vulnerability hit him in full intensity. It wasn't his aura. Saph's aura was out of question. Then.. It could only belong to... He snaps open his eyes and what he saw made his fearful eyes widen in shock. The shadow, the beast was still hovering over him. But he couldn't move. Not even an inch. Unknown tree branches have uprooted from under the ground and were tightly wrapped around Caleb's frame like a snake swathing around its prey. One thick branch was coiled around his neck, another around his hind legs and one around his chest. The branches were moving... coiling tighter with every passing second and Aiden could see saliva dripping from the Caleb'

    Their footsteps were coming closer while our breathing was turning heavy. Closer… closer. “ Aghhhh!” Saph stumbles on a branch to fall and that was all it took. We stop and within seconds we were surrounded. The wolves surround us from all the directions and one of them shifts to look at me. “ Well, well, well. If it isn't the future Prince of this Kingdoms.” “ Did we got lucky boys? Boss would be so delighted.” His eyes cloud. He was sending a mindlink and my fists clench. Standing in front of Saph, shielding her from their disgusting gaze I seethe at the man. “ You are nothing more than cowards. If you think you can defeat your Highness like this? You are mistaken!” The men only look at each other to chuckle. Their huge frames tower over my 4’2 one. “ We don't think pup, we know. Your dear your Highness is going down today. Its just a matter of time.” “ Its impossible! He is an elemental! You all are of no match to him!” Saph speaks from behind me and I see det

    Aiden's Pov Adults don't understand and see a lot of things that we as children do. The longer a person stays on this planet, the more he or she gets tainted by this worlds dark colours of greed, selfishness and mercilessness. We as children stay immune to this and maybe that's why all I could see right now was that my new family needed me, while all Rowan and Raven cared about was this kingdoms heirs safety, my life. They couldn't understand that I can't live like this. The kings title, the power, the responsibility. I needed none. I just needed my new family safe. I just needed the people who took care of me and loved me in this unknown place when everyone turned their back on me, breathing and taken care of! I was pinned under Uncle Rowan, restrained to not go back. Tears dripped my eyes at my vulnerable stare as I imagined my new family getting slaughtered to death. Saph... Grandma. And most importantly, Zach. The man who gave me what no one else could ever

    Three pairs of thudding footsteps run through the deserted forest as screams and cries echo behind. Their breathes were laboured but none could afford to catch their breath, even for a second. " Aunt Raven. We need to stop. I am not going to flee like this." " Father, Saph and grandma need me! They are there all alone!" One pair stops to be only dragged ahead by Raven's grip on his petite wrist. He thrashes, begrudgingly moving ahead. " Don't be stupid Aiden! This is a war! They are going to kill you mercilessly if they reach us!" " We need to reach safety! Your mom is waiting for you!" Raven's blunt authoritative voice did nothing to alter the kids resolute. Determination shone in the kids eyes as he tugs to withraw Raven's grip from his wrist. Everyone stops to stare at the resilient boy. " Mom never taught me to abandon my people and run away like a coward. I am going back-" Aiden turns around to go back when Rowan steps in front of him to block his way. Softly

    Zachary stood on the barrister, his emotionless eyes look down at the enemies army approaching his castle from all sides. Small forest fires lit the forest and he could hear distant screams. Clenching the barister tightly, he whispers in a low voice. " How many, Ron?" " In hundred thousands, Your Highness! We were attacked together from all borders! My estimate is that there are way more than 5 packs. And if I am not wrong it…it…” Zachary sighs to complete it for Ron. “ It's a coup.” Deadly silence followed. No one said anything and Zach breaks into a series of coughs. Unable to keep them in. Catching his breath, he gave his next order. “ Escort the elder and woman out. Take Aiden-” “ We are taking him along.” Zachary’s eyes shift to Rowan and Raven standing on the threshold. He could see the determination in Rowan’s eyes and this time he had nothing to argue about. In times such as this, the kid will be more safe with his family. Nodding Zach sighs to lean a
