Lance's povThe rejection and the betrayal might have broken my heart, but like what Ivory had said, I was a man with needs. And I might get some taste of it. When she confronted her side of the story about rejection, I was guilty for misleading her till this moment. I knew, I only protected her because I wanted to trade her for the moon wolf, but would it be worthy? I would leave her once my responsibility and my promise to her ends and when I would drop her back in her home. Was that what I really wanted in the first place? Since when have I become selfish? Of course, from a long time ago, but Ivory had nothing to do with it. She was just a victim of consequences and she was suffering the worst without committing any crime.This wasn't she deserved. She deserved to be loved, by her mate but now that mate doesn't want her, I will be her mate. "Lance!! Are you sure about it? I am pregnant with my mate's pup." She asked with concern."So what? I am sure from the moment i kissed your
Orfilia's pov The winters arrived earlier in the southern part of the county. Soon, there will be snowfall here but now, the thick tension hanging over the neck of the warrior glaring at the territory of Alpha Raymond's hideout.After forming the alliance, my team split into sections and each section worked harder to find Raymond's whereabouts. I won't address him as an alpha anymore, because she doesn't deserve the title. An alpha was supposed to protect and rule great over his pack but Raymond had a sad backstory. He was insane and I wondered what he had in his mind."Lady Orfilia, are we going to stand here and do nothing?" Rashak asked me while glaring at the farthest sight.I inhaled a reply before responding, "Who said we won't do anything? I am patient because I am creating hundreds of scenarios to kill Raymond in his nest. But, we shouldn't forget our main objective here. We need to find Ivory and take her back with us." "I understood the assignment, just curious to act upon
Orfilia's pov The swirling breezes stopped and there was an utter silence lingered in the corridor. My gaze was centred on the figure blocking my way. It took a lot of my strength not to punch his beautiful sculpted face. I exhaled deeply before drewing my sword from the back and my gaze sharpened at him with an anger being suppressed under the table."Where is Ivory?" I demanded and answer from him. He didn't appear affected by my words and stared at me instead of responding to me. Casually, he shoved his hands in the pocket and whistled in a humming. Could he go that down?"I asked you something, Raymond!!! Where is Ivory?" I yelled at him and put my sword in front of him with the tip of the blade flashing under the showered moon light."Oh dear!!! We finally met and here you are asking about unwanted things. Come one, let's make this special. Instead of that ungrateful bitch, how about, you introduce yourself." The way he ignored my demand and surfaced baseless topics, The momen
Orfilia's pov The male.voicr got me alert when it heard right behind me and I started to notice a young man standing in front of my eyes. There were wolves around him but our warriors had encircled him. And most importantly, he appeared to be submitted to us."Who are you?" I needed to know his identity, there could be a catch on his presence."I am Sergeant Oliver and I was Alpha Raymond's right hand…" he introduced himself and I gasped hearing that this man was his right hand. But why was he willing to show his face?"Aren't you afraid of us?" I drew the sword and pointed its tip on his chin.There was no change of emotion on his face or eyes but he stared blankly at me."To be honest, no!! I know that moon wolf don't judge without knowing the entire truth. Since you are still too young to know your responsibilities, I am sure you will learn them soon." He commented after observing his surroundings and getting his gaze back on me."What do you know about Ivory? You said she had esc
Orfilia's povJust as the dawn appeared, I went out of the village to head back to the pack I left behind for a reason. Although I haven't got Ivory back, if there was a possibility that I would see her near the pack's territory, I was willing to take the risk.Along with me, we tagged Katana and a team of warriors and we did not forget to bring our new captives, Raymond and his right hand, Oliver. After the discussion with Katana, I went to meet Oliver and extracted out why he submitted himself before a fight.It could be a personal choice but I wasn't willing to trust this wolf at all. I could sense a sort of danger and I cannot turn a blind eye to this. Before we left the village, I informed Katana about my discovery and she was shocked too. She asked me to stay calm but alert.There was this uneasiness lingered to my heart, as if something unexpected was about to happen. Or maybe, I was anxious because I was going to see my mate too. I was exaggerated but nervous as hell. Apart fr
Orfilia's povI was waiting in the Alpha's office but no one came to meet me yet. I could hear the noises, probably most of them were arguing. I couldn't afford to waste time here. So I got up from the chair and barged inside the room from where I heard the noises coming out. It was awkward at first but when I saw three of the most important people in my life, well I did not expect that. My father, Jaden, mother Jenna and my biological father, Alpha Damien were verbally ripping each other apart. I noticed Alpha Damien's eyes turned cloudy and I assumed he must be mind linking to someone."Orfilia, baby!" Jenna approached me and I took a few steps back. I wasn't ready for any contact. It broke her but it was required."Orfilia, i know you are hurt and you have a reason but atleast, meet you mother. She was depressed since you left the pack." Jaden came forward to defend."What mother? I don't even know who is my real mother? This woman standing in front of me is my friend's mother but
Lance's pov My sources informed me that someone had raided Alpha Raymond's territory and captured him. It was truly shocking that a ruthless wolf got tamed, but who did that? Either way, it wasn't a good thing. If someone stronger than him had arrived, he would only bring destruction along with him.I decided to take Ivory back to her pack since that was the only place where she could be safest of all. In her condition, it was difficult for her to shift and run through the dense forests. I had given her a ride the entire journey. We left the town before dawn and reached the territory of the crystal moon pack at dusk. My body shook and I was returned to my human form again."I am so sorry, Lance. You had to carry me the entire time. Sometimes I feel that I am a burden on your shoulders…" She had tears in her eyes and I cannot see her breaking down anymore."Hey, hey! No… It's okay. You don't have to feel sad about it. It's my pleasure to bring you home safely. Just a few more minutes
Orfilia's povIt broke my heart to see my friend lying unconscious on the hospital's bed. The healers were inside and doing their job but I was frustrated and there was something that stirred my mind since I had spotted her. She looked different, appeared different and smelled different. Soon, the healers were out of the room and I grabbed one's arm and dragged him to the corner before anyone else could spot me."What is wrong with her? I know she was acting totally different and I understand that it could be due to post traumatic experiences, but I need to know it first." I glared at the healer who submitted under my gaze and responded in brief."You are right, Miss Orfilia. She is no longer herself. We have inspected her thoroughly and observed bruises and marks on her body. She was a subject of abuse and if there is more to it, she got forced into an intercourse without her will which ended up in an unexpected pregnancy." He informed me.The news shook me badly and I felt like I w
