Alexander's POVImmediately the battle came to an end, the atmosphere became extremely calm as if nothing had ever happened. I Looked at all the dead bodies lying lifelessly on the floor, a wave of bravery washed through my spine.My mouth dripped with blood of my enemies as I stood gazing triumphantly at the corpse before me. One of them who was half dead suddenly began to shake his legs, groaning in pain. Vexed, I rushed towards him, devouring him all over till he lay dead completely. So moments later, I transformed back into my human and took some of the men’s bow and arrows with me. Then, as I took some steps to leave the place, I noticed a sharp pain close to my rib and I fell. Reaching out to the spot where I felt the pain, I realized i was bedding heavily. I groaned in pain but managed to stagger up to my feet. I didn't remember I was with someone and just continued staggering in pain to no destination. Then as I walked past the bush, my eyes sighted the young woman who
Alexander’s POVTurning around to the direction of the voice, I could see a young woman running towards me. She seems to be chased by some group of unknown people.“Please help me!” She whimpered and tripped.I wanted to continue my journey. To continue running but somehow, I was compelled to render help to her. I couldn't just ignore her even though she was a total stranger to me.“Are you okay?” I ran towards the unknown woman, who had her face buried to the ground with long back hair that covered her entire face. I saw how her knees bled profusely. She had a sharp cut around her ankle too.She looked up, breathing fast and then pushed her hair from her face.“ Please help me. I am being chased by some men. They are coming this way” She said, panting and groaning in pain.Glaring at her, I realized she must have been the captive of those malevolent villagers. She probably might have escaped like I did.“Come with me” I offered her my hand. She looked at me in scrutiny before accep
Alexander’s POVScreams of excitement and merriments filled my ears. I could hear the clicking of glasses in the air as everyone tended to be slightly drunk. It was late at night and I sat alone in the cage with a few rams inside it, glaring at the people making merriments in an open field.Me and the rams were more like friends perhaps, I was the bigger animal there in the cage. I have never been punished this way in my life.Seven days ago, I was kidnapped by these strangers while I was escaping from Natheniel and his warriors. I was lucky not to have died in the sword of Ned, Nathaniel's chief warrior. It would have been the worst history ever recorded. On the contrary, I was no better than a dead man here. Worst of all, I didn't know where I was and how to escape from her.I watched as the people made merry and had fun with their women who were completely stripped and danced seductively, waltzing until their men started making advances on them.In this open field, everyone c
Phoebe's POV I sighted Natheniel from afar having conversations with his chief warrior. There were a lot of unfinished battles that were yet to be attended to and I know it was the topic of their discussion.The last time before Alpha Duncan had kidnapped me, a war had broken out between Moonfury pack and some foreign packs that we considered ‘ enemy ‘ .I didn't want to interrupt Alpha's discussion with Ned, his chief warrior. Whatever they were discussing that early In the morning seemed deep. Then, I remember someone. Kara. I needed to see her quickly. Fortunately, I saw one of the maids heading towards me and I pleaded with her to inform Kara that I was waiting to see her.She departed and headed to the guest room in search of Kara. Some moments later, Kara walked from her room to meet me in the large living room.“Phoebe. You sent for me” Kara said to me, showing a certain level of withdrawal from me. I was a bit surprised.The Kara I used to know would never want to withdraw
Phoebe's POV “ Phoebe, please tell me what is going on with you. Are you okay? How are you feeling inside?” Alpha Natheniel asked quizzically. His face, clouded with fear, made me want to burst out laughing“Nothing is wrong with your child and I. We are just fine” I replied with a smile and he collapsed back on the bed, blowing air from his mouth. “ You scared me,” he replied, still frightened.I have been wondering how Nathaniel got to find out about his child. Earlier this evening, I had come across Kara but did have the chance to speak to her .The death of Duncan broke me to shards. I completely ignored everyone in the mansion including my mate, Natheniel.“ How did you find out about your child?” I ask him.“ Were you planning to keep it away from me? How long?” He teased and sat upright on the bed before pulling me closer to himself. “I’m surprised at everything. Even Alpha Duncan knew about the child in my womb without my knowledge. Now it's you. Who informed you about yo
Nathaniel's POV I headed for the garden where I was told Phoebe had gone.Looking around, I saw Phoebe standing and gazing directly at the moon which had cast its ethereal glow upon the earth. My legs stopped carrying further as I stood watching her muttering some words faintly that I couldn't hear out. Phoebe was making some wishes to the moon goddess. With the glow upon the earth,I knew the moon goddess was present with her. I didn't know what her wishes were. Whatever they may be, I knew she was rendering those wishes for us both. In a like manner, I clench my hands together and shut my eyes, praying with her.Phoebe at one point, broke down in tears while pouring her heart out to the moon goddess. Taken aback, I abruptly open my eyes. Seeing Phoebe break down in the prayers made me think she has been hiding pain secretly from me. We have been together for a long time. We know almost each other's secrets.At least, if not perfect, then we were close to a perfect mate. What
