LOGINOctava’s pov“It’s not important,” Kaelan smiled while waving it away. “This… thing the elder said. Do you think that we should still go with the diplomatic solution?”Our father leaned back, putting a hand under his chin whilst supporting it with the handle of his chair. He had a distant look in his eyes.“He made solid points, but we have to think of the facts. All this time we have been fighting wars and we have gotten nothing. War shouldn’t be our only solution. If there are other ways to break out of this cycle, why not try it out?”I sighed. “Father, going through war, we will lose a lot of people. But you have to know that Rick and his pack, they deserve what’s coming.”He looked at me and gave me a curt nod. “I hear you, daughter, but for your sake, for the sake of your child, we don’t want to have a war.”My mother got up and looked at Kaelan. “I think your sister and father need to talk.”Kaelan nodded and walked away with Mother.We didn’t say anything to each other until w
Octava’s pov“We need to talk,” I blurted out to him as he lazily shoved his food around.“What about?” He asked without looking up.I felt awkward standing beside him so I drew out the chair and sat down beside him instead.“About how you’ve been acting cold for a long time. About how you haven’t asked me how I’m doing or said anything to me since the night we slept together.”That had him dropping his fork and looking up to stare at me. In his eyes were cold orbs staring back at me. Nothing there showed that he cared for me.I didn’t even know what to say or do. It was clear he had changed.“What do you want, princess?”His cold voice caught me off, guard.“Princess? Wow,” I chuckled bitterly, but it wasn’t from my heart. “Now it’s princess.”“Isn’t that what you are?”“Did I do something wrong?” I asked with clenched fists across the table. “Because if I did I’d like to hear it.”He opened his mouth to say something when a guard appeared before us.“Alpha,” he greeted jakeson, then
Kaelan’s povI went through a few books in the library while sitting with my sister.We had been here for more than an hour looking for any hint that would talk about what we had seen at the coronation party that night.Normally, she wouldn’t be this quiet and I found it unsettling.“What’s the matter?” I asked as she looked up from the book she was reading.“Nothing.”I chuckled lowly. “That’s it? Nothing?”“I don’t know what you want me to say.”“What was that all about between you and Jakeson? It seemed like you guys were having an old lovers' quarrel.”“Kaelan, let’s just focus on finding that book.”I slapped the book in my hand shut while dropping it noisily on the shelf.“What did you do?”She looked at me, her mouth a bit open before she sneered then went back to reading the book in her hand.“And what makes you think it’s my fault?”“Because ever since Jakeson got into the pack, you’ve been a pain to him. I want to know what happened.”She sighed then looked at me.“And why w
Elma’s pov“It is done,” the witch said to me with an air of confidence.This had me smiling, “Are you sure? He will only think of me and no one else?”She nodded. “He will only think of you and no one else.”If I was a child, I would have danced for joy, but I had to maintain an air of confidence.“Good,” I smiled. “Let’s see what happens now.”I then walked out of her hut and got into my car.The ride home had me feeling like everything was going to be fine. Maybe I wouldn’t need to kill Jakeson. Maybe I could have him for my pleasures, keep him in the dungeon after I was done taking his pack and taking the Lycan kingdom.The moment I got into the palace, I parked my car and got out with a maid running towards me. She got to me and bowed, then straightened up.“The Alpha calls for you.”I raised a brow. “Can’t you see I just arrived? I’m kind of busy. I have other things I have to do.”“He’s in the throne room talking with the elders and the generals. A message came from the Lycan k
Jakeson’s povThe next morning, I was seated in the meeting room with the elders and some members of the council before me.Kaelan was briefing them on the importance of dialogue but they didn’t seem to understand a thing.My mind however wasn’t even there. I was focused on the hot sex Octava and I had had yesterday. That was before my mind was interrupted by a vision of Elma, and my anger took control.Till now I was still confused as to how I had gone from being lively towards Octava to pushing her aside.The feeling felt familiar. The excuse I had given to Octava about me trying to protect her while it was this same grip that had held me captive making me slowly detest her until I wanted nothing to do with her. All I wanted was Elma even when deep down I hated Elma.If I didn’t get rid of the feeling I was having, it was going to destroy what Octava and I had in common.“Alpha Jakeson!” Someone yelled my name, causing me to look up and see everyone around the table staring at me wi
Jakeson’s povWe continued from where we had left off the last time with our lips clashing into each other.I held her waist close to my body while she gasped and gripped onto me like I was the air she breathed.“We’re still… in the gym,” I muttered while kissing her neck, raising a moan from her.She smiled, pulling away from me. “Then let’s go to your room.”I dropped everything and followed her into the palace, running and laughing like we were children.We got into the room as she pushed me to the bed then locked the door.This excited me so much that I ripped my singlet out of my body and readied myself for her.Her lips crashed into mine again in a symphony I didn’t want to let go of.My hands were roaming her back and tearing her clothes as she did the same to my trousers.Before we knew it, we were standing naked before each other.“I… I have to take my bath first,” I gulped, which got a laugh from her.“Nonsense,” her face showed a naughty look.Slowly but surely, I held her
