Orion's POV

Yes, I watched her leave.

I tried to follow her, tried to calm her down but as usual, Arizona wasn't one to be calmed and there was no I was going to shift now and follow her into the forest.

She was a high ranking wolf after all, almost higher than I was which meant she could take care of herself, right? She didn't even look like she needed someone to look after her.

I had to wait for this coronation, I needed Imogene to see that I was on her side, it was all I could hope for and my barren wife would not stop that.

The past no longer mattered, all I needed now was to confirm her was my son and we would be good. Share parental rights, be good. After all, he would inherit his mother's position which was obviously higher than mine. What else could a father ask for?

I strolled back into the party and snatched a glass of wine from the counter. As I drank, my mind suddenly drifted to my mum.

Where was the aged woman? Had she stayed back from the ceremony after pursuing me from

  • Chasing after his Humiliated Mate    23

    Orion’s POV My eyes fly open as I feel the sleep seeping out of my body.It’s almost dawn and today I resume my post at the borders. My wounds have significantly healed over the night. I’m not exactly thrilled to be reduced to a mere guard but hey, once a soldier always a soldier. I can do this and anything else, I’m just glad she didn’t decide to kill us. I get up and walk to the shower, this has been one of the longest nights of my life. I’m not even sure I slept well. I’m in the bathroom now and my thoughts turn to my mother, I can’t help worrying about her. Will she be alright? She’s a proud woman after all, who has gone through what I would believe is the worst experience of her life, and most importantly—Will she be able to control herself around Xavier? I mean… the last time she was in close proximity to the boy, it had led to what got us into this situation in the first place. And what about me? When my two weeks are up at the borders and I get to guard the boy… I don’t

  • Chasing after his Humiliated Mate    22

    Sophia’s POVI’m sipping a glass of wine and staring out the window.It's been days since the trial. Days since Imogene…the Supreme alpha decided to forgive my mother and brother, giving them light punishments instead of the death penalty. I was so relieved I wept. ~Flashback~Imogene is sitting on the podium, at the head of the room, eyes powerful and scanning the room. I watch her eyes stop for a flitting second on each face before moving on the next.Her father—Supreme Alpha Jerome per usual stands right beside her. Both father and daughter scan the room and assert their authority through their gaze and silence.The last time we were in these chambers, I had been beside her podium, with Alpha Avery comforting my crying self. Today I wasn’t beside her. And neither was that lying and scheming Arizona. Today, we were just like the rest in the chamber, watching her from below the podium. Whatever her decision will be I see she has put a lot of thought into it and her mind is made u

    Imogene’s POV“I don’t know father, do you think I made the right call?” I drop my arrow on the outdoor table and turn my gaze to where Xavier is playing. It’s been a couple of hours since the trial ended and my father and I are in the courtyard.“Setting them free?”“Letting them near my son.”My father turns to me while dropping the last arrow in the quiver. “Imogene my dear, I know you didn’t want to have them killed, even I didn’t want you to begin your reign killing one of our most industrious alpha and warrior.” I turn my head so quickly my neck almost snaps. My father laughs seeing the expression on my face.“Hey… I’m saying you did the right thing sparing their lives. But letting them close to your son? I trust you and I know you’ll have them watched at all times so I’m not worried.”My father and I have been out shooting arrows and sharpening my skills. He’s one hell of a shot. Never missed a target in his prime and from the looks of it has still got it.We’ve been practic

    Arizona’s POV I thought surely it would be swift, Imogene sentencing one or both of them to death… at least a stripping of rank. She declared them traitors and ran out of here like she was going to incinerate them as soon as she laid eyes on them. I had grown rather irritated with Sophia and Celine’s crying. Such pitiful fools. I refused to let myself feel sorry for them.I loved him.Loved… that was because watching him look up at Imogene with longing in his eyes, I know fighting to keep what I thought we had would be fighting a losing battle. Not with the kind of power Imogene wields now and of course… a son. A cute little boy who looks just like him, what father wouldn’t want a relationship with him? I could have had that with him. A son, a daughter or more. But I let him talk me into so many abortions.Would things have been different if I had had a son for him despite the rules? Would he have saved that look for me? Would I still have had his mother’s favor? My eyes are draw

    Orion’s POV“Move!” A guard barks at us as we’re escorted from the chambers to the dungeon where we will spend the night and await our fate tomorrow. The dungeon is located at the farthest end of the Supreme Alpha’s palace. It is a towering building that is neither inviting nor cheery on the outside, talk more of the inside.I turn to look at my mother. She’s neither crying nor whimpering now. Her head is still bent low, her walk almost a limp now. Her shoulders low like she has the weight of the world on them. She is exhausted and looks like she’s aged a decade.I can’t wait to get to the dungeon so she can rest. I’m tempted to blame Arizona but I can’t. I brought this on myself. I should have known that stepping away from her to bear her shame alone when Imogene asked her to apologize to Avery would cost me.I should have gone after her into the woods but I didn’t because I was too occupied with thoughts of Imogene, trying to curry favor and get on her good side. Arizona isn’t

    Sophia’s POV“Sophia, she has probably retired for the night. It’s been a long day and if I know Imogene, she just wants to go hold her son till she falls asleep.” Avery said in a soft voice which was obvious he didn't want to annoy me.“But I have to see her, Avery, I have to! I won’t leave until I do. Hell, I won’t be able to sleep tonight anyway, might as well spend the night here. You either take me to her or I’ll go alone. One way or another Avery, I must see her tonight.” I say this determinedly as I pace on the terrace of the palace. Everyone is gone now, retired for the night. But not me and Avery. And the palace guards.Avery is trying to convince me to go home and rest for tomorrow when my family’s fate will be decided. But I can’t… even if I go home I will neither sleep nor rest. I have to see Imogene tonight, I have to beg her for their lives. Imogene had remained in the chamber for a couple more minutes with her father before retiring for the night. I know this becaus
