The room felt less ventilated. No one was settled; everyone had gloomy looks on their faces. Fear spelled itself out clearly in our eyes as we watched Teagan groan in pain.
Wolfsbane is also known as a toxic plant that spells death for werewolves. It has the power to prevent them from transforming into their wolf form, weaken them, or, in the extreme, eliminate them. It was the best-known poison that all werewolves ran from. Its power most graciously gave a surprise toxin; none stood before it. "What should we do? Should I call the doctor? Kai trembled, looking at his only son, pleading for his life. He couldn't watch his son gasp for air. It wasn't pleasing to the eye. He couldn't watch his son die. "Calling the doctor is impossible at a time like this. After a few more minutes of watching, he'll be on the brink of death," I spat out, running towards my room. "What should we do?" Bridget asks in fear. She couldn't lose him, either. "Fuck, I forgot my scalpel at the inn." I stuttered in frustration. I couldn't watch my lover die, even if he had betrayed me by screwing my younger sister and covering it up with a false accusation. There was his father, who seemed to be having a cardiovascular attack just looking at his son on the ground. "Your stuff is in my room; hurry up," Kai urged, looking at Teagan, who kept on sweating profusely. I hurried with a little tear in my eyes. I picked up a white box with a claw mark on it and swiftly moved back to meet them. "Move away from him," I urged, opening the box. I put on a medical hand glove before taking in the scalpel and opening the cut more. I grabbed a pair of surgical scissors, opening his body wider. "It's time," I let out, looking at the blue toxin in his back. I had held the cut open with a retractor to see the poison. There was no certain way to cure him, but I had to try. After minutes of operating, I felt tired and suddenly collapsed. I had removed most of the wolf's bane, leaving only 0.000000004 mg of it. I had closed him up after, leaving the rest to the doctor. Weakened by the poison, I sat watching the doctor continue the operation. The doctor was a skilled one in the field of poisons. He knew what to do and what not to do; he had injected Teagan with a drug that made Teagan howl. Teagan and Bridget had been taken to the guest room. The doctor has left with a weak body and his pay. While I, on the other hand, was taking a nap in Kai's bedroom. "Where am I?" I asked, looking around. This wasn't the room Alpha Kai gave me It was far more spacious and cozy. "Rest up. You won't be able to transform for some days due to the wolfsbane effect on you." Kai enters the room with a tray containing herbal tea in his hands. "Did you bring me here?" I asked, amazed by the texture of the room. "Let's just say you came on your own." He drops the tray on the bed, urging me to have some tea with him. He hands me a teacup and pours some of the ginseng tea he has made. "What happened to Teagan?" I was still worried about him. He was still in my heart, despite the event that took place. "He's fine; the doctor got a sacrificial pawn who took the wolfsbane in for everyone's sake, including Teagan," Kai explains with a glint of joy in his eyes. We both sat on the bed, talking about life before we met each other. I couldn't stop talking about Teagan and the numerous battles we fought together on the battleground. I couldn't take him off my head. "I see you're still into Teagan." Kai cut me off at some point. I veered around before I landed my gaze on Kai. He didn't seem bothered about it, but I felt a little air of sadness coming from him. I looked at myself, and then I realized. I was still in my ripped-up nightgown with my braziers showing the top of my beautiful sisters, along with a little of my pants. Embarrassed, I wrap the bed sheets over my body. "I've seen it all before. You don't have to start covering it from me," Kai let out, watching as I hid behind the sheets. His hands began to move, gripping me by the shoulder and bringing me towards him. He held me in his arms, the sheets still lingering over my body. "You know you can always talk to me about anything, Lorenzo," Kai began with his hands moving from my shoulders down to my palms, holding them graciously. The movement of his hands made me shudder with pleasure. His hands soon began moving, rubbing my belly slowly and pulling me in for a deep kiss. I couldn't resist him, knowing how I felt from last night's rump. My plan could come to life if I become his Luna. I just had to make him fall for me. I felt weak to his touch; maybe it was the effect of the wolfsbane I had taken in or his perpetual charm and gifted hands. I moved my hands to his back as the kiss intensified. I couldn't get enough of him, leaning in for more of his mouth. He groaned as my hands came into contact with the cut I had planted on him when I wolfed out. "I want to tell you a secret, Lorenzo," Kai says, breaking the kiss. "What's that, Father?" I inquired with anxiety in my tone. "You can stop calling me father. The name's Kai, as you know." Kai brought me closer to him, my head on his chest with his hands wrapped around me. "Okay, Kai. So what's the secret?" I inquired, wanting to know the mighty Alpha's secret so badly. "I love you, Lorenzo.".Lorenzo's pov I watched in horror, as Bridget trembling in the ground, her soul slowly slipping out of her body. I screamed and tears blurred my eyes as I cradled my sister's lifeless body, this is the second person I will be losing to Teagan today. Anger surged in me at the thought of it, he's going to pay for their lives. I stood up and gave a fierce roar and raced into the palace to find Teagan. I must find him, I vowed, and when I do he's going to pay for the lives he took. As I ran, my heart was heavy with rage and grief at the same time, I could feel the rage surging through me. Teagan will pay for what he has done. He has awakened a beast. My feet echoed off as I pounded down the palace corridor, my eyes blazing with fury. I could smell Teagan, a faint scent but unmistakable, it led me deeper into the palace walls. My power surged through me, fueling my strength and speed as his scent grew thicker. Then I hear footsteps ahead growing fainter. I followed the soun
Teagan's pov I snarled as I charged towards my father, I knew I was in for the fight of my life. Our blades clashed, sparks flew as we exchanged blow after blow I knew I was no match for him but I was not going to give up either. "I don't understand why you won't die at once, why must you come back" I said to him as our swords clashed. He landed a solid kick to my stomach and I fell and rolled on the ground. "You are no match for me, Teagan," he said and spat "You are meant to be the Alpha it's your birthright but sending people to kill your own father so you can be the Alpha is something else, you are just so desperate". I grunted, and quickly stood back up," My birthright?, oh you think I don't know how you and that bitch Lorenzo have been planning to give that birthright away". Our swords clashed, "First you stole my mate, I let that slide and you still expect me to sit while you take my birthright". He gave me a hard punch to my jaw, which made me stumble back, "stol
Lorenzo's pov The night we've been nervously waiting for has arrived, the moon was shining bright in the sky as we prepared to move to the palm tree to wait for Rizzo as planned. As we were waiting for Rizzo's arrival, I was lost in my thoughts, I stared at my barely visible baby bump and thought about everything that led us here. I thought about everything that I'd gone through and wondered what the outcome of this battle was going to be and what the future holds for us. I have always been confident about my fighting skills but suddenly felt scared about this battle. I looked at Kai, Vera, and Alex and I could see they were lost in thoughts also. Not so long after that Rizzo finally made his way towards us. "Ready?", I asked Rizzo my voice barely audible, after waiting for him for what seemed like an eternity. He nodded in response "Let's move out" then signaled to his men hiding in the nearby bushes. I Ied my team to the east gate, our sword drawn. We had to move fast
Kai's pov The following night, Vera and Alex met Rizzo, Lorenzo, and I met up again in Rizzo's living room to go over the plan but this time around with a sense of urgency and focus. "Okay let's go over this again," Alex said with a sharp voice. "Alpha Kai's team will take out the guards at the main entrance of the palace. Lorenzo's team will make an entrance through the east gate and take all the guards there down. After the guards are clear then I and my team will come in". We all nodded in response, our face set with determination and passion. What's the timeline? Vera asked "The feast is starting at night and I will have to be there" Rizzo replied "Once is midnight I will sneak out of the feast and meet you guys at the old palm tree and from there we will move into positions, and then we will make our moves". We went over the plan a few more times making sure everyone took note of their move and timing. As we finished the meeting, I felt fulfilled and grateful to m
Kai's pov We moved swiftly through the shadows, the moon cast its glow over the pack territory. I scanned the surroundings it was just how I remembered. The air was thick with a familiar scent, I felt a thrill of mixed feelings as Lorenzo and I slipped past the guards and made our way into the pack disguised as traders. I scanned everywhere to look for Alex then suddenly a dark figure emerged from the darkness. It was Alex, "I've been waiting for you" his voice was low and urgent", there's been a last-minute change of plan, Meet us at Rizzo's place" and with that he walked away. My heart skipped a beat this was unexpected, we had planned to make move tonight, I looked at Lorenzo and she rolled her eyeball. My mind was racing with different questions, why weren't they sticking with the original plan, why the last-minute change? As we walked to Rizzo's place "I hope Rizzo isn't trying to back out now cause I don't trust him" Lorenzo mumbled Our senses were on high alert as
Lorenzo's pov "Lorenzo, Alpha Kai" Vera said with her eyes widened and she covered her mouth with her hands. Tears gathered at the corner of her eyes," I knew it, I knew you were still alive, I could still feel you around" she said with a low steady voice "I miss you witch", I said laughing, "I was so glad I was still able to reach you through this portal "I waited, days, weeks, months for you to reach out to me through it but later gave up since I saw no message," Vera said still shocked. She kept exchanging gazes between Kai and me as if to confirm if it wasn't a dream. I gave her details about everything that happened to us, from meeting Tina to Kai finding me, and the attack in the forest, I told her everything without missing any details. "Vera, we need your help, Kai and I want to come back to take our place, but we want to know the situation over there and make a proper plan before doing that," I said with my voice barely audible. Kai nodded in agreement"We want
