~ CASPIAN ~
Immediately they drove their fleet of expensive cars into the alpha wren compound, he knew she wasn’t there, her scent wasn’t there and it almost drove him mad at once, he alighted from his car and clenched his feet and palm, trying to control his wolf, he stood still.He felt his sister's soft palm against his back, through the surface of his black and shiny suit. He looked back at her and managed a smile.She just telepathed to him; speaking to his mind to calm down, his whole family, security, and himself walked toward the entrance where the Brynon family members and household were waiting.The journey from Norway; north hill park, wasn’t so interesting as his mind was on his mate all through. He needs to take her out of there immediately.The white sun pack has been filled with terror all through the month since they heard of him visiting today, and they had been trying hard to be on their best behavior.Alpha wren warned his pack members specifically on several occasions to stay inside their houses whenever they sense his arrival. “ that man will not tolerate any mistake or plea, so just stay away”.Caspian noticed that all his pack members were too scared of moving close to him and they only bowed and greeted from a distance.Of course, he likes it like that. To keep the peace among the whole pack in the world wasn't child's play and he needed the fear from people to keep trouble at bay, he already had a lot to deal with daily, over familiarity will just give him more work to do.He had to fight many battles and prove himself every day to be in the position he is in today. They were still scars to show for it. They wouldn’t even heal away. That’s how deep they were.After all, he doesn’t care about what others think of him, aside from his family, he loves them and they love him too… their loyalty is enough for him.“Welcome Luna Elaine, welcome alpha Caspian” Quillion's friendly voice, pierced through his thoughts, followed by his father's shaky one and his sister's high pitch-seductive voice.He hated her voice at once, he didn’t like it one bit, it was too fake.The family quickly ushered them into their meeting hall where very expensive treats and wine had been placed for them, they knew better than to do less than that.They ate and shared courtesy for sometime, Caspian didn’t say anything, instead, he allowed his mother and beta to do the general political talks.After some time, he noticed that she still wasn’t back yet and he was getting very impatient now.Caspian didn’t want to waste any more time; his beta and omega, Derek were with him as well, he signaled with the last finger on his right hand and his beta stood up abruptly clearing.Alpha wren who had been so worried about their visit to his home, got more agitated by beta regulus's sudden movement.“There’s no cause for alarm, it’s a friendly visit and we have come to see your family on a happy occasion this time… we …”, he couldn’t complete what he was about to say as Caspian cleared his throat loudly causing him to stop abruptly, he sat back on his chair immediately.Now it won’t be so friendly.Alpha wren and his son Quillion quickly got up on their feet and bowed deeply, Quincy had also started to shiver in her seat, something was wrong.The only person absent from the powerful family was the retired alpha himself, aside from him, every other person was present, including the royal axe!“Where’s she”! Caspian’s cold roar filled the room, his brown eyes pierced into alpha wren causing him to start stuttering immediately, he started saying gibberish at once until his son came to his rescue.“Father please…” Quillion told his father, holding his shaky hands, he turned to the impatient alpha as realization struck him.“You … you mean ehn… you ask after my sister?.. uhm Tahlia!…” before Caspian could respond the big door opened and right there stood Tahlia with an angry scowl on her beautiful face.She was breathing heavily, it seemed she ran down the hall.The room grew silent at once, Quillion ran to shield his sister as she walked into the room, she heard her name just now.Looking on with confusion she tried to look over her brothers’ wide shoulder to see properly, she knew the terror was coming for visits, but she wasn’t expecting to see him in her house, sitting and having their treats!“What does he want?” she asked her brother, quizzically, not bothering to soften or quieten her voice. She wanted him to hear her question.Caspian mother and his sister; Katherine shared a knowing look, “she’s a hard nut to crack” Katherine whispered happily to her mother, they had been hoping that she would be, no ordinary woman can be with caspian.He needs fire to burn away all his rough edges and sharp sides.“Step away”! Caspian's voice was low and menacing, he didn’t like it one bit that Quillion was obstructing his sight, or standing too close to his mate, he wanted to pounce on him.His wolf was impatient as usual and he was trying his possible best not to pounce on her and Mark her right there.Quillion bowed his head and immediately moved away reluctantly, he feared for his sister. “What did she do to him, have they met?”Caspian stood up and walked slowly toward her, his steps were slow and calculated and as he got closer he could feel her heartbeat.“Good!”, he thought to himself in relief, he was beginning to think she wouldn’t recognize him, he won't take that, he had been living in pain for the past three years.Coming to her door every night to watch her without being able to touch her, he could only breathe in her sweet rose scent and that wasn’t enough for him.He gets daily reports about her and that also wasn’t enough for him. Even though his securities were always on the lookout.He stopped midway.. he wouldn’t scare her off, her scent was getting to him and he tried hard to stop himself from undoing the two knots on her hair, he didn’t like to see her hair tied up, but he will wait till later. He wants it down.she staggered and moaned softly, clutching her chest, her eyes seemed to be in a daze. No! No! Noooo! She screamed.His mother was immediately by her side, holding her, and the mating effect had started. She’s eighteen years old today and he has just activated her senses, she can feel and sense him now!He didn’t want to miss this experience, he made sure that her first sensing experience will be from him, nobody but him! he smiled sheepishly in contentment.The corner of his lips lifted devilishly, “yes! That’s true.. you are mine!” he growled, still holding himself back from touching her.He watched her without batting his eye, she was also drinking him in with her eyes.“Good, let her look to her fill, because she won’t be able to look at any other man like that ever again, just me”, caspian thought possessively.The way she was looking at him was turning him on, he won’t be able to hold himself any longer.Quincy fell from her chair, her father just sat there numb and Quillion could not hold in his laughter, he laughed so loud in relief.His laughter Jeered everyone back to reality.Of course, he’s the terror, but he couldn’t be that around his mate, at least not for long, he knew that for sure, because he also has a mate. Quillon smiled in relief.“Finally, her savior is here to take her away”.ALPHA CASPIAN POV Grinda and Tahlia shot out of their sitting position immediately the Lycan king walked into Grinda’s house, he couldn’t enter her bedroom so they had enough time to rush out of the balcony to meet with him.“I looked for you in your chambers and you weren’t there, I knew immmediately that you had come here after I warned you not to” that was the first thing the Lycan king spat at his wife; Tahlia.“I… I’m sorry, we couldn’t stay away from each other without knowing that we are fine… please … don’t punish me” she begged, clasping her hands tighter, the fear grew on her face and body at every second that passed.“It’s okay …. Go back to your apartment … I want to speak with Grinda … you should rest, don’t walk around yet” he responded, forcing his wolf to stay calm.Alpha Caspian was frowning but it was not because he was angry this time, it was because his wolf and darkness were forcing him to get mad at his wife again, and he didn’t want to, especially agter seeing
TAHLIA’s POV Immediately Grinda heard about Tahlia’s recovery she sent her maid to sneak in a letter to Sam, knowing fully well that Sam would deliver the message without getting caught; she loves Tahlia so much that she will happily take the burn if she even gets caught. “Don’t tell me to calm down … I haven’t seen my girl for days now, I’m worried… I can’t believe her husband would do that to her!” Grinda yelled angrily at the guard standing by the door.Beta Regulus; hee mate, had placed the young warrior there to keep her indoors and grounded as her punishment but she had successfully turned him into her gossip partner. Grinda had been fidgeting since her maid went on the crucial and risky errand, she would get caught, including the fact that she hadn't seen Tahlia for days now, all she knows is that Tahlia is better and back to her chambers.The young warrior rolled his eyes at her playfully, definitely enjoying the discussion, he quickly opened the door to stretch his head in
TAHLIA POV The queen mother wouldn’t leave Tahlia's bed side, she had been lying there for a few weeks now and it was getting worrisome, the king as well was distracted but had to be strong for his pack people's sake.“Take it easy…. Just rest your back here, finally you can be discharged .., ohoooo, my dear…. Welcome back” she beamed at Tahlia who smiled widely back at her.But almost immediately her smile waned away and a Worrisome frown replaced it, the queen mother already knew the cause of the immediate change in demeanour, Tahlia had remembered why she’s still in the hospital.“How’s Grinda … how’s she, hope she’s fine? …I totally forgot, please I would like to see her” the doctor who had just unplugged the drip from her hand gave the queen mother a knowing look who in turn gestured for the doctor to excuse them.Same with Sam and her other maid who had been with her for the past week, Sam in particular wouldn’t stop worrying, “you need to reduce the volume of your voice … and
QUINCY POV.“We started talking a few days ago and I’m getting out of here soon… I only came to tell you, maybe you will be interested in coming with me…'' Quincy was whispering in a hushed tone to Pascal but he was practically ignoring her intentionally and Quincy despised it when she’s not taken seriously.“I really appreciate your thinking and thoughts … but pleasseeeeeee… for the love of the moon goddess, you both should leave me out of this and I will advise you as well, stay away from Joan… you are still alive and breathing in this prison … that woman will make life terrible for you” he said back in response to the excited joan.His response affected her mood because when she spoke next there was no smile on her lips or excitement on her face anymore, “what’s wrong with you… ?.. aren’t you smart enough to beat a woman to her game…?… well if you think Joan can screw Me…, ask my sister if you are lucky enough to get out of here” she spat back at him.Anger and pride mixed toget
QUINCY The sound of pascal arrival jerked Quincy up and she jumped up from her slumber at once, there’s nothing much to do in the prison aside from sleep and eat the cold and unsatisfactory food brought to her and do menial labour and hard work which always wears her out.She looked out from her cage door and sighted Pascal briefly before he was pushed into his cage, although she didn’t know him on a personal level she had seen him with Katherine in the meeting hall when her father came to plead on her behalf.“How could you hurt your mate like that…?….” She didn’t wait to listen to the remaining conversation, that’s all she needed to lighten up the fire of her hopes, she knew she could as well use the dangling opportunity in front of her.She waited and leaned in her eyes closer to listen to more of their conversation, they didn’t know she was listening but her prison cage is right beside pascal, “I’m sure he doesn’t know me…. Hmmm it will be very difficult to get him on my side” Qu
PASCAL“I…. I… didn’t do it …. Joan! Why will you accuse me of all these!” I spat back at her, my eyes squinting at her, I was trying to give her our special code sign to cover up for me and I will in return help her.But I guess I had become useless to her, she eyed me furiously and looked away, tapping her foot restlessly onAlpha Caspian’s expensive tiled floor.Katherine had said her own part of the story and left me in a tight corner, same with Joan. The two women were smart and I wish I could lie effortlessly in the Alpha face like Joan Isdoing right now, so I strengthened my resolve and moved closer to the Alpha.“I didn't do all of these things Alpha caspian… Joan is a pretentious liar … I…” the guard who moved swiftly behind me forced me on my kneel before I could catch my breath, cutting off the lies coming out of my mouth.“You are dead!” Joan mouthed at me, instantly I knew I’m in trouble, I shook my head at my self pitifully, I couldn’t even dare look at Alpha Caspian, he
