RYLAN'S POVThe end of the hallway had never stretched further than this minute. It was like a never ending tunnel, narrow and cold stretching into eternity.Okay, maybe that was exaggeration but still."How did it happen? Sheila ought to be here as planned, isn't she?" I queried, my voice deepening by several tones attempting to betray me. Since my mother's death, I lost the ability to feel the pain of anything else. Hell, I even forgot how to feel love.That would change after now.The soldier moved ahead, not stopping for once to look but replied quickly. "She is. She has taken her position right beside the alpha's sickbed, your Majesty."His reply did not pacify me completely, still it managed to take a little weight off my chest to know that he was at least in capable hands. "Good."No words were exchanged as we continued on our way briskly to my father's quarters. It bothered me to know that despite our almost altercation, Zadik still followed right behind me. A small feeling of

NEILLA'S POVOne month after...The news of the Alpha's passing had of course taken everyone by surprise. Although his death was inevitable, it came as a staggering blow to us having to lose another selfless leader. Now it was up to Rylan to make the pack proud or cause members of the pack to renounce it.Still, the late Alpha's presence would be greatly missed. Rylan was doing a terrific job at curtailing the rate of massacre forcing the wolves into relocation. I wasn't going to pretend that he wasn't doing his best despite how he'd hurt me.The goddess only gave options for compatibility there by making it our choice if we accepted the bond or declined. I was forced to resign to fate. After all, Venn was doing a far better job as Luna than I would have."Stop talking down on yourself, Reneilla. You haven't fully embraced me and the possibly of what we can achieve if we reach our full potential together." My wolf protested in my head. Somehow, we'd gotten over our differences and she

NEILLA'S POV Incredulity crossed her features as she gaped at me. She was having so much trouble trying to believe it. Hell, I didn't even believe it until days after I realized he was serious about his decision."Oh my goddess, that's terrible. I thought you and the Alpha were mates. Nancy never forgot to talk our ears off whenever she got the chance to gossip."I rolled my eyes. Trust Nancy to be the one to sound my trumpet. I set the plate containing one last uneaten cookie, losing all appetite. My stomach churned again and the discomfort I was feeling must have reflected in my face for Stella to scoot closer to me."Are-- are you alright?" Her hand was placed on my lower back as I bent over."I'm fine. I'm just-- it's the pups acting up, I guess." I gasped out, forcing myself to concentrate on my breathing patterns in order to ease the storm of negative emotions rushing through me."No you're not. You look quite the opposite. Come, get up." She rose from her seat, grabbing my ar

NEILLA'S POVThen why did it sting much harder than it should, I mused, standing rooted to a spot. For a brief moment, I was stunned into immobility, holding onto Ethel like he was the anchor that could keep me staying afloat in the billowing seas of turmoil I was tossed into.The voices seemed to gain an increasing tempo, accompanied by the sound of shoes crunching the little pebbles on the soil until all sounds ceased altogether. Automatically, I swivelled my head to gaze at the owners of the voices, the bearers of the news that had stopped my brain from carrying out simple tasks like telling my feet to move.I watched all the colors drained from their faces as they stared back at me. They surely wasn't expecting me to be the one they'd bump into after their little rendezvous to make me their topic of discussion.And of course, it'd be Nancy heading the meeting. Her eyes were cast on her shoes in shame? No, Nancy didn't do shame. She gossiped with no remorse to anyone who cared to l

RYLAN'S POVThe journey to the Bloodtrail pack took us more than five hours to arrive the borders and three to get to the city's central where their Alpha, General Vlad, had his throne situated. It took five hours because we made use of the jeeps they sent to ensure smoothness of our movement.There were four other cars going ahead and two right behind us. Vlad insisted he would see to our protection and general welfare to and fro his pack. Of course, that came after several persuasion on his part.Not like we couldn't afford to get us some jeeps, however, it was against the guiding rules which our founding ancestors laid down for us to live by. It was also also the reason why we seemed to keep our distance away from mixing with the human world.Nonetheless, I admit that I had never seen anything compared to the speed of the car. All we had to do was remain seated as it drove itself to it's designated destination. The only hitch we experienced on our way was the occasional stops we ma

Smut alert***...RYLAN'S POVThe partially unsolicited help by the linen-ladies, I realized a little too late, entailed wandering hands in forbidden zones. I felt entirely uncomfortable and was royally fucking pissed. Luckily for me, the short walk stopped. Thanks to the goddess, we finally arrived another long hallway, where doors flanked by the sides of us, left and right. I watched as one by one, each of my men were allocated rooms alongside the ladies. Soon, only a few ladies were left with Zadik and I. I wasn't in the slightest ready for any intimacy with some female I didn't know.A lot of thoughts plagued my mind. Thoughts I couldn't seem to piece together and make something rational out of."You're going to be fine, right?" I asked Zadik out of habit. It was unnerving anytime I had to separate from him even if it was a few minutes. Yet, I felt like he needed this rest.Women like this were his delicacy and they could help him ease his worries."Who says I wouldn't?" He gav

RYLAN'S POV I woke up with a start, my fingers quickly splaying to the other side of the bed to grab Neilla before she left the room but my haze cleared when my hands met with air. I realized it had only been a dream; one where she made a decision to leave the pack for good. I sighed deeply as my fingers raked through my hair and swept down my face, replaying images from the night of the mate rituals after she'd tried to renounce me."And you left her with no response yet you're mated now to some bitch who reeks of ulterior motives." His voice filled my head. My monster. I was not expecting his presence. Speaking matter of facts, he only offered his two cents whenever I was in danger too steep to walk out of with human strength. After that, he made his retreat into his space."You finally decided to call." I murmured, still in the process of blinking the sleep out of my eyes. He didn't respond again and I wasn't surprised. He was in the best of moods. Again, my fault.I swung my le

RYLAN'S POVThe overzealous werewolf whose name I found out was Lonnie, ushered us into an actual throne room judging by the intricacy of the designs I was seeing. A large portrait hung directly behind the chair at the center head of the table. Their Alpha sure was a wolf with eyes for materialistic conveniences.I wasn't. However, that wasn't my purpose here. Right after I and Zadik placed ourselves at the table, the door opened and some guards marched out in a neat file, stopped and paved a way in the middle for a stubby male to walk through. He was indeed a stark contrast to the valiant man who was poised in the portrait.For a name such as his, he did not match the requirements but as they say 'do not judge a book by its cover'. I was here to learn and not make assertions based on how he looked. "Alpha Zenox?" Vlad asked as he approached the table with his beady grey eyes never leaving my face. "That would be my late father." A brief look of sadness crossed his eyes as I cleare
