1548 miles from the Royal Lands

1:34 am

Three young boys sauntered through the dense forest.

“ This is stupid guys! We should head back!”

The one at the end, Desmond speaks, heaving. With dirty blonde hair and green eyes, he was the most practical of all. Being 12, he was the eldest, but he wasn't the one leading this exploration or rather challenge.

They continue to walk in deeper.

“ Aghh come on! It has to be here somewhere or I may die of hunger!”

The second one, Harold, exasperated. Stopping, he hunched over to catch his breath. Being of a fleshy build, walking for 3 hours without eating anything wasn’t his cup of tea. He preferred TV and chips. But today was an exception.

Desmond and Harold looked ahead at their friend who showed no signs of fatigue.

“ Aiden. Let's go back, man. It's just a stupid dare.”

“ Yes Aid. I am starving.”

Their friend turns around to look back at them.

His determined blue eyes looked too solemn to belong to an 8-year-old kid. He

    Zachary’s pov I drop on my chair and stare at the piece of paper on my table. Picking up a pen, my fingers grip it firmly as I stare at the place I am supposed to write a name on. My inheritor. How? How can I name a third person as my successor when I and my forefather struggled day and night to withhold the power and position that comes with the werewolf King title today? We are purebloods. How can I just sign this all away to a person who is not my blood? If Xavier was alive, things would have been different. I would have blindly trusted him with everything after me. But he is not here. She murdered him. Why moon goddess? Is this my Karma? Why do you have to give me a fate like this? You took away the two people most dearest to me. My dewdrop murdered my little Munchkin. And now? This rarest of rare diseases. Me, dying with every passing day? Not having an heir despite trying for years? Why? Before I knew I was crushing the stem of the Rose. Blood tra

    Aiden’s pov Scents are every werewolf's identity in our world. But somehow I can manipulate them. I can sniff a person and tell what the person is like. I can feel their emotions, their evil intentions and everything they hide from this world. Taking a deep breath. I open my palms to let my energy flow. I could feel each particle around me vibrating. Focussing, I let my scent overpower Des and Harolds. These men can’t go after them. I won’t let them till I stand here. I blankly stare as they both run away deeper into the meadows. Relief floods in my chest the further they escaped. “ Turn around. State your name and business.” My eyes stay fixed on my friend's minimising silhouette. As soon as they vanish into the thick fog. I turn around. A dozen of enormous wolves stood in front of me, baring their teeth at me. However that one scent that caught my attention was at the centre. There stood a huge man with bulging muscles. His eyes were malice. Dripping with n

    Zachary's pov I followed the scents to reach the location, but what I saw had me go still—leaning behind a tree, with my hands casually resting in my pockets. I stare at a boy of barely nine fighting with Caleb. While any other kid would be too scared even to raise his eyes and look my men in their eyes, he fought back with the valour of a trained fighter. People rarely surprise me or impress me. But this kid? He was something else. I tried to get his scent, but I couldn't. This illness hindered my abilities. I need to step closer to it. They fought for a few minutes, and I saw the boy lagging. His reflexes were slowing down, but he didn't give up easily. " I am going to rip you to pieces, you little piece of shit. Do you even know who you have messed with, huh?" " I am your King! " Caleb's words made me think twice about my decision. He was boosting the title already when I hadn't even given it to him. I haven't seen this side of him. He is always so abiding

    Unknown pov “ Agghh fuc* him! That little piece of shit!” Groaning, I storm into my room to look down at my half-cut arm. My wolf has healed it to stop the blood, but my arm couldn't be put back. Those useless doctors can’t do one thing right. A bunch of morons! I stand before the floor-length mirror and tug on my shirt material to rip it off. My burned, scarred skin comes into view. My entire right arm and half of my chest are burned. The skin is hideous, thick and damaged beyond repair. I wrap gauze around my cut arm, and every second I spend tending to it makes me seethe in rage for that bastard kid. I swear I would have strangled him to death and then ripped his body into so many pieces that no one would recognise him. If it wasn't for him. Zachary. That fuc*er! Who does he think he is? The way he rubs his arrogance and power on my face every time makes me wish to kill him this second. A knock on my door interrupts me, and I groan. “ Who the fuc* is it

    Aiden’s pov “ Doctor! Here! It's hurting!” “ Agghh, my leg!” “ Patient 101’s fever is flaring.” These voices! Aggh! My head was pounding with them. Straining, I flutter open my eyes to be welcomed by a white ceiling. Where am I? I move up my hand to feel a sharp pain in my hand. What's this? A strange needle was inserted into my hand, and it was covered with white tape. I panic, ready to rip it off, when a soft, calm voice speaks to me. “It's called an IV. It will help inject antibiotics and other medicines directly into your bloodstream.” “ Don’t tug on it.” My hand retreats as I look up to find soft brown eyes looking at me. A girl? I look behind her to find myself in the general Ward of a hospital. There were patients all around me, and now I knew from where the sounds were coming. “ Is it always this chaotic here?” I ask, looking down to find myself covered in bandages. My torso, thigh, arms and head were wrapped in gauze. “ A plea for help is not descr

    Aiden’s pov I am dragged through beautiful corridors and I couldn't help but admire the place's interiors. Huge lights hung from the ceiling, plush red carpets covered its floor, the doors were almost triple the size of normal doors and beautiful showpieces lined the halls. We enter a huge room and the guards let me go. “ Wait here. And don't touch anything you filth.” I don't say anything. This is how rogues are usually treated. It's no surprise. That old lady was friendly, doesn't mean everyone else will be. The doors are slammed shut behind and I look around to have my eyes get stuck on a masterpiece. My mouth hangs open as I stare without blinking. It was a woman’s statue. Made of gold. Damn. Just how much money does the king have? Gulping, I step closer to stare at the woman’s features. She has doe-like eyes, a button nose and a small smile lingered on her lips. Her long hair flowed behind her and a long gown adored her body. My eyes shone when I saw her

    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

    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

  • To Betray The Alpha King   In Ruins

    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
