LOGINElena’s POVA few days had passed since the war happened, and since we didn’t really gather any destruction, it was quick and easy to clear things up and go back to our usual lives.The boy who helped us bring him down, our enemy, was also trying to gather his life back.Before going back to the pack, he and his sister wanted to speak to us one last time, so we gathered in the guest living room.“Thank you, your highnesses, for not going back on your word. Thank you for protecting us,” the sister said softly.I smiled. “You don’t have to thank us. You also played your part, and it is one of the reasons why we had so much success without losing too much. I just hope you guys are able to find peace in your new lives.”She gave a small smile. Although I could tell that she had a lot going on in her mind. Perhaps, she was still trying to get used to her new freedom.“Have you been able to gather any of your people so far?” Horace asked. “Yes, but just a few. After we sent the word out, s
Horace’s POVThe worst was now over, but it didn’t mean we could rest. We still had a lot to do.The doctors and nurses came in, carrying out the injured people one by one. The lifeless were also taken out, and although none of them were my men, I couldn’t help but feel a slight tightness in my chest.Most of those people were just unfortunate to have been tagged with the wrong person, and they paid for that with their lives.I sighed deeply, turning to my wife and taking her hand in mine. “It's over, Elena. We can finally breathe again.”She drew in a deep breath, staring at the scene in front of us. “Yes, it’s over. And it’s left our children with a bit more maturity than they had yesterday. One has had her first proper fight, and the other has crossed the line he can never come back from.”I nodded gently. “A line he must get used to because, clearly, whether he likes it or not, he must fight. Even when he tries to avoid it, bastards will come from nowhere with little to no reason
Elena’s POVAs soon as I heard the loud scream, I quickly turned my head towards where it had come from. It was Lila, but the scream had nothing to do with her. Instead, she was looking in a particular direction, so I turned my head towards it, and to my horror, the animal who started all of this had a dagger aimed directly at my son.“Ethan,” I shouted, my heart skipping so quickly for a few seconds. The man was so close, and I was sure that it was certainly going to hit him. But just like we all heard the scream, it seemed to have alerted him on time also, and before the man could pierce the top of his head, he jumped, using his claws to scratch against the man’s face fiercely. This disoriented him, causing the dagger to fall from his hand and his body to the ground.Just then, Horace ran towards my son, ready to help, only to see that the work had already been done.He paused in his steps, staring at Ethan with a surprised but proud look in his eyes.But that wasn’t the time to
Horace’s POVThe doors burst open, and sure enough, Elena was right with her sign. They were the ones— strange men dressed in sacks.However, to their horror, the smiles they had on their faces had wiped off the moment they walked in, as they weren’t expecting what we had prepared.Every single person in that room was a warrior. Even my young daughter, who decided to stay back for the fight against my wish, seemed ready for them. I made sure my best fighters were ready to take them on.With them was the boy who exposed their whole plans.Beside him was a girl who looked a bit like him… certainly had to be the sister he spoke about.They still hadn’t discovered that the boy had betrayed them, which was a good thing.The man let out a smirk, stepping closer to the middle.I mirrored his movement until we were a few meters apart.“Who the hell are you and what do you want?” I asked sternly.He paused, running his eyes over the scene in front of him. He was still in disbelief.“Alpha, w
Ethan’s POV“I was never witness to people from the beginning. I don’t even know who they are,” he said softly.All the bravado he had from the beginning had completely washed off, and all I saw was a little boy in distress, trying to protect whatever little peace he had left.This left me and my father more confused about the whole matter.“So how did you end up with them?” I asked gently.He gave a small, sad smile. “It all started one day when we noticed strange men around our pack. My father, being a global heart, decided to welcome them without suspecting anything. However, we never knew this act of kindness would lead to the destruction of our family and pack.”He paused, sobbing lightly.“One day, while we were having a small pack celebration for a milestone, a loud noise came out of nowhere, and before we could understand what was happening, we noticed this strange man attacking us from different angles. At first, even as a young child, I didn’t want to believe what was happen
Horace’s POV“Your highness, he’s coming towards you. He’s alone,” Dave voiced into the walkie-talkie.I moved forward, Ethan behind me as we prepared to block the boy. “So what are we going to do when we get him, Father?”“Well, for starters, we have to question him. Hopefully, he cracks and tells us what his people are planning. I really don’t want casualties. I want to downplay this war as much as I can.”We heard footsteps and quickly paused, hiding ourselves from view. We didn’t need to wait long because a moment later, a young boy walked past us, not knowing that we were right behind.“Don’t move,” I said, coming out of the shadows. Ethan quickly moved forward, blocking him in case he tried to run.The boy looked between us, shocked and terrified, but I could tell that he was trying to stand his ground.“Who… who are you? What do you want for me?”“I think that question is meant for you.”He squinted his brows. “What do you mean? I don’t want any trouble, okay. Just don’t bother
Assistant’s POVI was escorted through the hallway that was polished so smoothly I could basically see my reflection on it.The place was squeaky clean and a bit too bright for me.I prefer my properties darker.The God finally stopped before a single door room and turned to me.“ You may go in, th
Horace’s POVI stood by the main door, watching as the guards escorted the police towards their car before making my way back up to the bedroom.When I got in, I saw her looking spaced out on the bed, and I was so pissed to see her like that. I just wanted to find the bastard who was behind everyth
Vivienne’s POVI barged into my room, feeling my head spin.I began pacing back and forth in the middle of the room. Confused. The heels of my shoes struck the floor in sharp, angry sounds.The officer's words kept replaying in my head.What did they mean by my name was amongst those Elena sent mon
Elena’s POV“We received financial evidence indicating a significant amount of money that was directed from the central medical account to a private account that was linked back to you.”The chief said, and right then, I wondered if I should have listened to Horace.
