Oliver's POV"I'm glad you could make it this time," Alpha King Lincoln said stepping out of the shadows. "I cannot keep hiding this from my mama and papa," I replied. "You must. At least for right now. Have you not enjoyed training with me? Learning from me?" He asked. "I have, Alpha. Why now?" I asked. "I have known about you for a very long time, son. You are everything I could have asked for in a son but I sadly did not raise you," he sighed. "Jubilee is a great father. Wait, you have two sons," I stated. "We both know that I have only fathered you, Octavia, and Lance, my youngest. I wasn't certain of this until a couple years ago. I always suspected but I had already fallen in life with them. I care a great deal for them but by blood Lawrence is not my rightful heir, Octavia is," he said catching me off-guard. "Your majesty, they will challenge her for the title. What can I do?" I asked. "That is why I continue to come to you. This place will forever be your safe haven. Not even

Lawrence's POV Where are you, my love? I need you. My wolf needs you so badly. I want you by my side when I rule over all the lands. Why have you run from me? I woke from the same nightmare I had every night since Matilda left me. I would see her in my dreams but she stood idol. I would ask her the same questions but she only stared at me and repeated “you hurt me, mate.” In an attempt to wash away those vivid nightmares I spent my days with Adelina a lot more. A few hours later... “Have you slept at all?” Adelina asked meeting me in my quarters. “Not really,” I groggily said. “What if we visited Ellington this weekend? Their orchards has surely blossomed this year from what I am told. We could both use a change in scenery,” Adelina said straddling my waist. “I could use the vacation. We ride in two days time,” I replied claiming her lips with mine. We never mated with each other. She was holding out in hopes to receive her father’s blessing. “I will have Violet help me pack,” s

Octavia's POV I was enraged! My plan is backfiring on me. I was the one who anonymously told the elders council about Lawrence behavior weeks ago the money I spotted unsealed bruises all over Matilda. Now, the crazy bitch Queen was holding my mother hostage. I needed to go home and verify if this was true. I needed proof. "Alpha, what was she talking about? My mother left for the village days ago, right?" I asked. "Come with me," he grumbled leading me through the tunnels and the to the swampy area. "I've been working with Jubilee trying to grace who took your mother. Antionette had help from some powerful allies. I called a meeting today with some of the trusted leadership in an attempt to weed out the liars and those I cannot trust. They have no clue what I was doing. It was none of them. I have reason to believe that it may be one of our visitors that will be at supper tonight which is why you'll never leave my side at any time. Understood?" He asked scaring me. "I understand tha

Gertrude's POVThe days drug on slowly testing our already impatient demeanors. We hadn't seen Tavi since she left for the Kingdom of Koda. She informed us about Gamna Felius and the three other survivors of an ambush he feels the Queen and Beta orchestrated. The king will surely know there was foul play. It seems they want to isolate him from those he trusted most. Something isn't right about any of this. My dreams have migrated to nightmares these days and that's never good."When are you planning to tell them of what you've seen?" Swan quietly asked careful not to wake Julius. "I'm only telling you just in case something happens to me," I replied. "Explain it to me again. What the hell are Galatea Guardians?" Swan asked. "Well, they were nicknamed after Galateia actually. She was the Goddess of the calm seas. Galatea Guardians came about when werewolves needed them most and draw their energy from bodies of water. It was during the time of Alpha Queen Lenora and King Athelstan era.

Queen Antionette's POV"Are you ready to talk?" I kneeled down and asked my mate, Lincoln.He stared blankly at me not uttering a word."Your grace, I'm trying to help. I'm sorry that it had to be taken by force but you wouldn't listen to reason," I said hoping to gain a reaction.Nothing.Silence."My lord, I am your mate! Say something, damnit!" I shouted only earning a glare from him.Nothing.Silence.Frustration fell over me faster than I thought it would."I need you to sign these. Turn over the kingdom to Lawrence. His eighteenth birthday is quickly approaching. You must know we have the best interest of the kingdom," I explained.I watched him look to each side of him at the shackles that bonded him."Those are precautionary," I replied stepping away the moment he began struggling against his shackles in anger.I stood back terrified at his actions and his half shifted demeanor. With one swoop, I saw Beta Vincent force feed his brother wolfsbane."That's enough! Are you trying
