“Elena, I’ve found my fated mate… and I’m marrying her…” After waiting a year for her husband to return home from war, Elena Dooley didn’t expect that instead of hugs and kisses, she would be welcomed by a royal decree legalizing her husband’s second marriage with his mistress. Suddenly, Elena was pushed aside from being a Luna as if she were the third party between the two. But being born into a warrior pack and the daughter of an Alpha of the most respected and powerful warrior pack, Elena stood her ground. She asked for a divorce that would totally take a toll on Bryson’s family. With marriage in ruin and a heart bleeding from betrayals, would Elena trust a man again to be her mate after she rose to be the great warrior she always dreamt to be? Especially if she met the King’s brother, Prince Deacon, who was feared by the kingdom and the Rogues so much that he was given the title of god of war.
View MoreBryson’s POVElena… Regret? Seeing what Glenda had come to be, regret was an understatement of what I feel for losing her. And by the look of it, as much as everyone was silent, everyone in the pack felt the impact of losing her.Nodding her head with sarcasticness, Glenda continued, “Well, good luck with that! Just so you know, none of this is my fault. You’re simply choking on the consequences of the choices you’ve made!”My mother’s breathing escalated, and she clenched her chest. She looked at Glenda with wide eyes and pursed lips.“Watch your mouth!” I scolded in a low but dangerous voice as my patience finally snapped.“What? All I said is true–”Before Glenda could continue, I stood between her and my mom and, without hesitation, slapped her face hard.From the impact of my slap, her head turned to the side. She slowly turned her head to look at me with shock as the red handprint on her cheek slowly faded away.Slowly, her shock turned enraged. Her eyes turned a combination of
Bryson’s POVAs if Glenda’s scandal wasn’t enough humiliation, my mother decided that barging in at the kingdom’s party and running her mouth wild would be a cherry on top of everything I was facing now.Frustrated, I left the kingdom and went back to the pack with her following behind me, still as frustrated as she first came to me.The irritation I was feeling was intensifying every second I heard her voice. I just got back from the war, and she wasn’t even asking how I was doing or what really happened. No… instead, her sole worry was that she had nothing to use to boast out.As soon as we got back to the pack house, she threw her bag on the couch and turned to look at Julie and me, disdainfully saying, “Where the hell is Glenda?”She raised her hand and pointed nowhere specifically, continuing, “That woman brought nothing but shame to this family!”She gritted with anger and shook her head with utmost disappointment. “After everything you’ve done and sacrificed, son… we gained no
Elena’s POV“Princess, are you alright?”I jolted from my deep thoughts upon hearing Zara’s voice. Blinking back to reality, I met her worried eyes before dazily nodding my head.Sighing, she poured me a glass of orange juice and showed me a small smile. “Just call me if you need me.”Lost in time, I grabbed the glass and took a slow sip while looking far ahead and feeling the wind blow my hair back.After Jude left, I was left in a trance, wondering what I should do to escape the marriage decree King Desmond announced. However, I’ve been here in the backyard of the packhouse, staring at the forest ahead and still out of any possible solution.“Damn, girl. I know you’re hot, but not this hot!” Saige’s voice made me jump from my seat, and her words caused me to spit my drink out in shock.Hurriedly, I grabbed tissues from the box on the table and wiped my mouth dry.Shifting my gaze behind me, I saw Saige and Maige side-by-side approaching me.“What are you guys doing here?” I asked in
Elena’s POVMarriage… Marriage… Marriage…I couldn’t count how many times I’ve heard about it in recent days. People were so bothered about my marriage that they were either trying to be a wingman or giving unnecessary free advice.Hence, when I returned to the Ironpaw Pack and lay my back in the comfort of my soft bed, no one could imagine the relief I felt as relaxation cursed through my entire body.But then again, being relaxed and having a peaceful moment that would last a minute seemed to be a luxury I couldn’t have. Just a few seconds later, Zara knocked on the door and informed me that Beta Jude was here to officially hand me a royal decree.‘What can it possibly be about?’A royal decree? I was there earlier. Why didn’t they give it there?It… I can’t possibly have something to do with what Queen Celine said, did it?But I clarified it to her. I’m sure she talked it out with the King already…Despite the confusion, I fixed my wrinkled clothes and messed-up hair as I rushed do
Deacon’s POVAfter Elena’s car vanished from my site, I only let myself lose a little bit of control as I kicked the pebble near my feet.I calmed myself first and walked my raging fumes off for a while before heaving a sigh and striding towards Desmond's office.Standing in front of his door, I momentarily closed my eyes and told myself to keep calm knowing for sure that as soon as I entered there, Desmond and I would be in another unpleasant conversation.Just as I raised my hand and was about to knock, I heard his voice as if he was waiting for me.“Come in, lil’ brother,” he confidently called from the inside, and I never found him more annoying than ever.Twisting the door’s handle, I came in and stood right in front of his desk, where I found him buried in a document.As soon as I arrived, he put it down, leaned back on his chair, and gave his undying attention to me.“Well, well. I assume you’ve spoken to Elena?” he asked with that annoying smirk on his lips that I wanted nothi
Deacon’s POVI have fought countless battles, fought against numerous impossible odds, and stared death in the face without flinching, but seeing Elena striding toward me with grace and a huge smile on her lips while wearing her casual clothes brought me to oblivion, and I found myself momentarily stunned.It’s the first time I see her in a dress with her hair without a tie, and it’s like the sunlight shone on her as if she were the only beautiful thing in this world.Her soft hair flowed with the wind, her eyes looked at me, and she gleamed with quiet confidence.For the first time, I realised just how breathtakingly beautiful she was—every second longer I stared at her, it made her even more beautiful.“We need to talk,” I uttered nonchalantly, trying to hide my obvious dumbfoundedness.Shrugging her shoulders, she replied, “Sure, what is it about?”“It’s–”But before I could speak, she looked at me from head to though and waved her hand. “But before anything else…”She gestured tow
Elena’s POV“I’m honoured, Your Majesty,” I replied, not knowing what else there was to say.She looked at me and studied me for a moment before she let out a sigh. Though there was a smile on her face, I could see the worry behind the glint in her eyes.“You’re truly an impressive woman, Elena. Your strength on the battlefield, your loyalty to the kingdom… Your capabilities just seem limitless, and I admire you greatly.” Queen Celine smiled as she pushed the cup in front of me.To show acceptance, I held it in my hands but didn’t drink it as I replied humbly, “I only serve the kingdom as best as I can.”It’s the truth though. I had no other thoughts when I went into the battle. I just wanted to serve my kingdom, the same kingdom I grew up in and living in. The place my family protected.My smile hung in the air as silence filled us. Queen Celine tilted her head and watched me carefully, which made my heart race from the unknown.“And yet, there are other ways to serve the kingdom, a
Elena’s POVAfter my talk with Mother Queen Liz, I was driven back to the Ironpaw Pack. The second I came back, I was mesmerized by the pack’s appearance, which brought back good memories.“You sure outdid yourself,” I praised in almost a whisper as tears formed in the corner of my eyes.In slow steps, I looked around at my pack. Gone were the blood stains, wrecked infrastructure, and broken things scattered around the place. It’s almost as if nothing happened. Like there wasn’t a fight here… Like the massacre never happened.“I’m just doing my job, Luna… I mean, Princess Elena,” Jayden uttered with pride, a huge smile plastered on his lips.Smiling, I stepped forward and placed a hand on his shoulder. “You did well. Really well.”Since I went back late, we caught up with each other for a bit together with the few members who were beyond delighted to see me again.It turned out that taking Jaden as my Beta was the best choice I made in a long time. Not only did he manage to successful
[ALPHA DOMINIC's Point of View] Liam and I searched for every old building surrounding the Silver Crescent pack. Ten hours had passed, and there was no trace of Samantha in any of them. No scent. No sign that she was brought there.“Perhaps you should get some rest, Alpha. I know you are
Elena's POVI looked around my room with a sense of warmth slowly creeping into my cold heart. In this very same room last year, I was left alone by my husband on our wedding night, feeling cold and alone.Instead of the cuddles and kisses I was expecting, I received hurried words of goodbye from him, for the King called him to fight in a battle against the Rogues.And for the year that came, I was in charge of all the pack issues as I awaited for his comeback.Standing in front of the empty halls, I stared at the picture of the only family I had left, my husband, the Alpha of Swiftridge Pack – Bryson Renner.Yes, the only family I had…Years ago, my father and six brothers died in an unfortunate attack from the Rogues alongside most of our pack’s significant members. With their absence, my in-laws treated me well. So, when my father-in-law was injured in a war, I didn’t think twice about using every means I had to help the new family I had, the Swiftridge Pack.Though no one asked, I...
