Ansel's jaw tightened. "So he is already here for revenge?," he asked grimly. "You killed his brother." Amos continued and Ansel just smiled darkly."They also killed four people in the wee hours of the morning. I tried to tell you but...""Enough! I have heard you!" Ansel's eyes were dark as he stopped his brother from continuing.He knew very well that his brother would blame everything on his mate."Is that all?" He continued after calming his rage down."The council.""What's wrong with the council?" Ansel's eyes flew open."They are still not sure if the girl died in the war as you promised them." The man just smiled.He knew they were all against his Edna.Who knew, maybe someone told them that Edna was still breathing and was still in the pack.He needed to do something."Tell them that she died in the war!" He turned abruptly and glared at his brother, "Am I clear?""Of course, Alpha.""Good." Also just gritted his teeth secretly unaware of what to say.If it was for him,
ANSEL POV“Alpha Ansel, I am done.” Amos mind-linked me, but I didn't respond.Instead, I gazed at my angry little wolf, “I need to go now.” Her shoulders dropped when she heard me say that.I knew she didn't want me to leave. There was so much I needed to tell her, to clarify things, but first, I had to deal with my enemy's people.“I promise, when I come back, I will explain everything to you.” I continued, but she remained silent, just staring at me.“Are you okay?” I asked. I understood why she was angry. I had been behaving like a jerk, and she had every right to be upset.Did I think that her desperation to have me as her mate, due to her former rejection, would make things easy for me? I was dreaming.“I trust you.” She blurted out, pulling me back from my thoughts. I turned to her, puzzled.“I said I trust everything you have said just now.”Wait, it was not what I was thinking about, right?Hell, no!“Y-you can read my mind now?” For the first time, I couldn't construct my se
ANSEL POVThe weather was cold in the northern part of Titanic Wave.We had arrived moments ago, and now we were talking with the Duke of one of the northern streams.“You said four people have been killed, right?”“Yes, Alpha, and the situation is still not good there.” The Duke, a middle-aged man, answered. I stared at him deeply until he dropped his face to the ground.“Duke Xavier,” I called, and he lifted his face to look at me.“If I may ask, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with the warriors at the border to help them as their Duke?” I questioned, and the man turned pale, rubbing his hair uncomfortably.“Don’t tell me you don’t know who you are to the people here.” I continued, feeling anger rise within me.I knew he didn’t expect to see me here, but here I was. I had just appeared without his knowledge.At first, I wasn’t planning to come, but after hearing that four of my people were dead, I had to see for myself what was happening. Only to find this old man here, ca
“That's what cowards do! Attacking people at their lowest.” I smiled despite the throbbing of my heart. It had been so long since I had experienced something like this before. The fear was evident in my whole being as I tried to compose myself. ‘Amos.’ I mind-linked the man that was also alert beside me. ‘We should find a way to run, Alpha!’ He retorted back through the mind-link and I gave him a side eye as Ramsey and his people rejoyed at my problem. They were happy that now, they had gotten us off guard. ‘No, I won't run. I don't run like am a coward man just like the one in front of us.’ I answered through the mind-link. “Haha! I heard the kid that you are so much in love with despite the fact that you knew well that he wasn't your blood is also mine, what a privilege.” He continued, trying to make me lose it. But instead of being angry, I smiled at him. Although, the smile was just covering my outside facade while in reality, I was very angry at the man that all I wanted wa
RAMSEY POVDamn, I hated Ansel to the bottom of my heart. The hate I harbored for this guy was immeasurable.If hate and despise could kill anyone, I was sure I would have killed the man a long time ago.Why shouldn't I hate him? Of course, I had many reasons to hate him.The man took everything that was meant for me.He killed my father so that he could take what was rightfully mine, the Titanic Wave kingdom.He had the Crescent Moon Pack, but he wasn't content with that. He had to kill my father for the whole werewolf kingdom.I also hated the upper council. The upper house contained great wolves who formed rules to govern our lands.Despite my many attempts to tell them that Ansel Damian was not the man they thought he was, they still chose to close their eyes and ears.I used to be the son of the Alpha-King of Titanic Wave before Ansel killed the man. Rightfully, I was the one to inherit the throne, but Ansel grabbed it from me, claiming he was the one who had killed my tyrant fat
### Edna's POVSuddenly, my heart started pounding, and I released my grip on Jack.I was completely uncomfortable, as if something bad was about to happen any moment.Was it about the dream? No, it was just a dream, nothing to worry about. Nothing would happen to Ansel. I tried to convince myself, but it was hard to believe.We had been in this room for almost five hours, and all that time, I had been terrified for unknown reasons.Since Ansel left for work, I had felt uneasy.Even though I was still angry at him, I didn't want anything bad to happen to him.Now, it was even worse. I was sweating.“Red?” Jack called, and I turned to him. “Why are you so pale? What just happened?”To my disbelief, my hands were shaking as I gazed at the evidence before me. This was not good. What the hell was going on?“N-nothing. I am just thinking. Nothing to worry about.” It felt like I was trying to convince myself rather than the child before me.“But you don't look well. Since the maids brought
My heart stopped at the realization, and I became stiff.Sensing my distress, Ansel held my hand to assure me that everything was okay. I relaxed a little.But why was he here? I hated him. I hated what he always did to his sister.And the worst part was the fact that I was scared and terrified of him. Especially after learning the truth about him, I was sure he wasn't happy with me either.“King Roshan, you are welcome,” Ansel said. All his henchmen had already moved behind him on the couch, giving him access to the door where Roshan was walking towards us.“I am not here to stay. I just want to know…” He couldn't finish his words as his eyes landed on Ansel's stomach.“You've been poisoned.” We all widened our eyes in shock.It seemed like Ansel was also unaware that he was poisoned because he appeared shocked too.Despite the shock everyone in the living room felt, Roshan walked straight to Ansel and started examining his wound.By now, I had curled myself into a ball, trying as ha
THIRD PERSON POVAfter that day, Alpha Ansel's took a drastic change. He was never the same. The wound we thought was only small, continued to deepen and widen as time went by.Everyone in Crescent was scared of what might happen to their Alpha. In fact, the whole Titanic Wave was scared of their Alpha-King's life.People were heard whispering and murmuring to their friends about the health of their Alpha.“What will happen if he dies?” “Of course his brother, Amos will take over.” People would say.“No, no! That one has no quality of being an Alpha. He might be good at martial arts but he isn't intelligent.” Another one would say.“Our Alpha-King is not that good. He is cruel.”“He is cruel because he wants the best for all of us.” People would continue murmuring and whispering in their friends and relatives’ ears.Not only outside the packhouse but also in the packhouse.Servants, maids and slaves took this as a chance to lazy around. They didn't work as they used to. Gone were
