Unknown Pov. As soon as the gates closed right before their eyes Greggory and Sofia stood staring at each other, trying to understand what just happened. “Why are we here?” Sofia asked, staring at the man before her but he too had no clue or memories of what just happened. “I.. I. Where are they? Where is the little boy and his sister?” Greggory roared rushing for the closet guard but they all just looked at him like he was some madman. “Prince Greggory, you and the princess had them escorted safely into the great walls of the Northern Shifter pack a few minutes ago” a guard replies. Sofia held her head unable to tell what memory she had in mind. “I do remember the little boy, but I can't picture how he looked or his sister. What did they do to us?” Sofia asked but no one could answer her question. For the very first time in years, she feared the powers of others. “We leave for Ciranda land now” Sofia roared at Greggory who went straight to get the ride. Unlike their usual route
Unknown pov. “Why?” Greggory asked, stripping naked and wrapping a towel over his waist. “And what do you mean by why? Don't you have eyes? Use them” Sofia retorted, pissed. She was in no mood for a quarrel but the man before her was not willing to let it slip by like always. “Our head is what you're gambling with and if it doesn't make any sense or is of importance to you then I am sorry, but I love my life and my family. I don't want to play into the arms of a blood-sulking demon like your cousin” Srah turned to the man before her with bloodshot eyes. Greggory was the man for her, he did not only love her but all these years he has looked past every mistake she made, and now 6 years later, he is beginning to act up. “Why do I have a feeling this isn't about today's event?” Sarah asks but Greggory only turns his back from her. It did not matter if it was only today or previous events. He did not like the idea of keeping things from someone as dangerous as Ciranda Copper. “Sar
Unknown Pov. It's been days since Mckenny lost consciousness and is still to awaken. Seranda walks back and forth in the room as Mckenny lies on the bed unconscious. “Come on Seranda, you have to eat something, you've not eaten for days' ' Emery walks over, taking her into her arms. Seranda looked nothing of her previous self, pale, skinny, and appeared to have lost so much weight just within days. “I can't, I don't want to... How can I eat when my mate isn't responding to any of the treatments, Emery? How can I be calm when your brother chose the wrong time to be sick?” Seranda demanded tears streaming down her face as she tried to wipe them away to no avail. “You have to stop doing this... What do we tell Chimere if she walks in and finds you in such a state? How are we to explain that her father may not be waking up any time soon?” Emery asked. Seranda could not come up with a better excuse, how could she when she had no idea when her mate could wake up? “Eat something and we

Time was fast running out and her mate was yet to recover. “Mommy…mommy... Daddy is awake '' Chimere shakes her mother, breaking her back to the real world. Seranda doesn't waste time dashing in and sitting by the side of her mate. Mckenny looked more fragile than usual. His pale figure was evidence he had been fighting battles unknown to man. “You're up... Water?” Seranda asked breaking a spoon of warm water to his lips. Mckenny nods gently sipping from the spoon. It did not take long for the room to be filled and soon everyone was gone just as fast as they came. “What happened?” Mckenny asks his mate who appears to be even more distant in thought than usual. Lying was not an option, not only was Serana incapable of lying to her mate but the subject at hand was a rather too delicate one for the both of them. “What is the last memory you have?'' Se
Mckenny’s pov. Watching my other half turn its back on me felt like my world was crumbling yet again within my very own eyes. It was too much to process, living and helping Mark was my duty, not only do I owe it to the people, but my best friend has done more than enough for me to willingly turn my back on him at such a critical time. “I know we will meet again and I can pray to the goddess it is under better circumstances” I walk away not giving Kenny the time to say another word to acknowledge my words. I could feel my heart pound tremendously with every step I took. “It is for the better” I kept telling myself as I matched forward. “We leave tonight, under the disguise of the night” I immediately inform the others as they all turn to me staring. I know they had questions, Emery looked like she was barely minutes away from breaking down, Anan wanted to say something but held back while my daughter only walked up to me wrapping her small hands around my legs. For someone my he
Unknown Pov“We agreed you would take over the pack and be alpha if my training took longer… isn't 5 years long enough?” Mckenny turns to his beta who stands face down staring down at his feet. His studies have not changed for a long time. “I knew you would be back” Mark uttered, sitting over to the seat reserved for guests leaving that of the alpha to Mckenny. “Mark….” Mckenny sighs frustratingly, roughing his hair as he takes his seat. It felt just like the last time he had been there. 5 years suddenly felt like 5 days. “Mark, I do know you can be alpha… you've proven more than anyone else to be the perfect alpha the pack needs and right now it's rather disappointing for me to lead. Even if I want” Mark watches a thousand emotions cross his best friend within seconds. “You don't need a wolf to be alpha, you've always done way better and I know while we wait for the arrival of Kenny… you can always be alpha. They've waited for the longest time and I know they are putting up some
Unknown Pov. the sun was up when King Ciranda awoke for the day. Unlike his usual omega who serves him through the night, Sarah and Gregory stood before him, their expressions unreadable. “What's this? Can't you wait until I wake up?” he says standing up and heading for the bathroom. It was not unusual for Sarah to be in his room so early, but ever since they had moved to the lands of blessed wolves, her cousin had taken all the king's titles to his head. Watching Ciranda walk out of the bathroom only in a robe around his body, Sarah could not hold her thoughts back much further. “I thought you said I would officially be crown princess or even queen if I wanted the position?” Sarah asked and Ciranda turned to her. “Yes.. so?” he asked unbothered. Sarah turns to Gregory who only shrugs. “It's been 6 years since we took over Ciranda? 6 whole years and there has been nothing to do about my part of the bargain. I have waited, I have served you and conquered lands in your name and t
Unknown Pov. lights shimmer through the pack house and the hallways. Everyone is drinking and dancing to their heart's content. It was not only a glorious occasion for the Northern Crown pack to withhold the arrival of their alpha but seeing the new addition to the family was truly stunning. From below, Beta Mark climbs up to the stage as every eye turns to him and the music quiets down. “We all have waited for this same day for years and I am no different. It still feels like a dream when I had to come home alone leaving him and our Luna behind. I had some difficulties but I know hers and hers were more than anything I have gone through over the years. As we all welcome our alpha and his family home, we should have it at the back of our minds things have changed. They are a family of three now and other changes have occurred. We all know he was off mastering the powers within him and we are glad to inform you all of the success of our alpha. He is now a full flush wizard” As Mark
Unknown Pov. It's been a week since the massive death that swept across the land of Limfieya. Friends and loved ones came from far and near to mourn with them, but like everything, it came to an end. Chimere sits in the prince’s room opposite hers gently rocking the baby to sleep. He has been nothing but a good boy. She felt he understood the situation. Chimere sings for him as he drifts off to sleep. Evera, the newly appointed lady in waiting for Chimere and caretaker of the baby walks in calmly trying hard not to wake the sleeping baby. “What?” Chimere asked not to take her eyes off the baby. “the elders…. they want to see you” Evera announced, squatting down and taking the baby off her mistress’s hands. “I will take care of him,” she assures Chimere, who places a soft kiss on his forehead before walking off. The castle has not been the same without everyone. the rooms were suddenly so empty for her liking, her parent's room was locked and she dared not go in. Chimere walks to
Unknown Pov. Everything they had accomplished came flashing. from the time they first met, to the times they had to stay away from each other. a sad smile crept on Seranda’s face at the thought of their daughter. Chimere will have to stay alone, she will have to move on to be the very best leader the people could ever ask for. Seranda could only watch her mate wallow in pain and heartache as his life slipped away from his grip. She painfully crawled towards him, taking his hands in hers. “I am here” was all she mouthed before another mouthful of blood came coughing its way out. her life was gradually falling away and there was nothing she could do. Laurana lay on the side of Ciranda waiting for death to come, her mate was dead and Seranda knew just how painful it felt because she was watching hers severely right before her with no words. Mckenny couldn't open his bloodshot eyes, the pain was too much to handle. every part of him was threatened like melting lava, he could feel hi
Unknown Pov. Chimere stood by the railing, her eyes not peeling off from the direction of her parents. The elders kept bringing up ideas but she could not bring herself to stay focused with them. Time was ticking rather slowly and no matter how many times she looked, the soldiers were still on standby which was a thing of relief but also the worst possible anxiety. Chimere has tried every other way to get out to the hold of the Elders to no avail. Elder Morgan was rather joyous over her decision to ride on and meet her parents but Elder Fern wasn't in support. He couldn't bring himself to watch the old heir to the throne ride on to her possible death. “We can't go after them,” elder Fern kept repeating. The castle was on lockdown. The death of his daughter had been all he needed to know what path to be on. Morgan has always been selfish and deep down he could see the friend in him was long gone and lost.“Let the princess go, her presence could change so much for us,” Elder Morga
Unknown pov. Mckenny and Greggory led the men while Seranda was stationed behind them. Mckenny couldn't afford to have his mate take the first arrow. Cirenda stood alone, waiting on them. This was weird. “Caution,” Mckenny’s voice echoes. Ciranda has always been the type to play sneaky behind their backs and he was not going to walk into a well-thought-out plan. Mckenny took the lead with Seranda while Greg waited with their men. Mckenny took his human form holding tight to the hands of his mate. “Let me talk to him... I don't know what I am hoping for but I pray to the goddess he listens” Mckenny nodded, giving her hand a little squeak. “Whatever outcome, you will always have me” The couple walks up closer to the man standing in black like a funeral processor. his eyes carried no sense of feeling, he was rather so fragile than the last time they had met, Seranda could not bring herself to not worry. Cirenda had his head on the ground casually kicking rocks like they were kids a
Unknown Pov. Laurana couldn't bring herself to sleep, not when the night was old and weary. The cold breeze blows through her skin, making her body shiver in discomfort. Tonight was different from every other night, she could feel the rumbling danger suspended on the horizon, and she could feel the pain held from within. “Can you hear me?” she asked, staring at the dazzling moon, her eyes filled with unspoken words and emotions. He was close yet so far. her hands graze over her baby bump. “I do not know what the future holds for us.. but I am certain you will live a great life and be well loved.” her silent prayers for the wellbeing of her baby and his big cousin went straight into the listening ears of the smiling moon. The first wolwl of the morning came from a distance but it did not bring peace to her soul. Laurana watched the dark give way to light on her balcony over a glass of water and some sweets. “Laura..” a voice came from outside. she could tell it was the Queen even
Unknown Pov. Laurana held on tight to her baby bump. She would rather be banished than have to tell who the father of her baby was. “I can” Laurana speaks up, her voice barely audible. Chimere could feel her pain, her fears were the same. “What right do they have to ask such questions huh? I am the mother and only I decide who gets to know about the lineage of my baby and who not to tell. don't overstep your boundary” “We do not take that away from you Laurana” Elder Morgan replied. “For the safety of the land and everyone, is it only right that you tell us who the father of your baby is? we can't have another abomination waiting to happen when it could have been avoided before birth?” Laurana couldn't hold back her laugh. her hand caressing her baby protectively. This was out of love, she would do anything to have him again and even if she is on her deathbed she would change nothing of their encounters. “an abomination?” Laurana scoffs. “My child who has not seen the world is
Unknown Pov. It's been a day since they returned on their short trip to Central Crown Pack, Chimere knocks on the door of Laurana panic written all over her face. There was not only a riot outside the castle but everyone was shouting and demanding Nana's very surprising head. Laurana sighs as the omega opens the door letting in a panicked Chimere. “Nana” her voice broke into a sob. Laurana had long expected this day would come but never had she thought it would be this soon. “come here” Laurana beacons to her which she obliged without hesitation. “Look outside” In front of the view of Laurana’s window, the crowd was ten times more massive than what she had seen. Chimere glances over to the omega and then her nana. She could not understand why Larauna was so calm despite all the odds against her. “what will happen now?” Chimere asks. “I don't know, but I am certain you will be a good big sister to someone,” Laurana smiles, placing Chimera's hand over her baby bump. Chimere could
Unknown Pov.The girls went around, taking turns helping to fill up the cars with supplies. Seranda and Emery just watched them interact without saying a word to each other. The hurt burning in Iris' eyes couldn't go unnoticed while Chimere wore a beautiful smile ready to start her day on a joyful note.“done” Chimere dusted her hands smiling at herself. She felt satisfied with the work of her hands. “girls..” Seranda called making Iris and Chimere simultaneously turn towards her.“I want you two to cooperate and help the children. we all expect you back before dust. we have to head home before the break of dawn the coming day and I won't have you sleeping all through the way Chimere” Iris turns to Chimere who just smiles.“Come” Seranda opens her hands, making Chimere run into them without hesitation.“I know you will do just fine. take this as your first and official visit to the Pack as princess of Limfieya. get to know the people and interact with them both as princesses and as fr
Unknown Pov.Iris walks up to her father pulling out a seat for herself with her eyes never leaving his. “Hey,” Alpha Mark says to the surprise of his daughter who just stares at him, not sure how to react to his gentle gesture.“I'm sorry,” he said, almost throwing Iris off her seat. She had not been expecting him to be out straight with her, not to talk of him apologizing.“Daddy” Iris' voice comes out like a whisper. she could not hold back her tears as they came streaming down her face crowding her vision.“I thought you didn't love me anymore,” she says trying hard to wipe away her tears with the back of her palms with a snob running its way down her nostrils.“I will never stop loving you Iris, how can I stop loving my daughter?” Iris sniffs.“But mother doesn't love me. She loves Chimere more. I know she would have been happy if I were the one to have a deaf wolf and not Chimere and even the baby loves her and not me” Iris laments.Deep down she was aware she wanted no baby sib
