Adelina' POV"When are you going to tell him?" Romeo asked. "Not now, Romeo! You're stressing me out!" I shouted. "Talk to me! Is this about your parents?" he asked. "Can you both stop yelling? I'm trying to focus on my painting," Romeo's sister, Vidalia interrupted.Vidalia and I had been friends since we were pups. Lately, she's been a shell of herself. All she does is paint, train, and pottery ever since she split off from her parents."No! I mean, yes! Romeo, I want to be with Oliver. Please! Why can't you understand?" I asked frustrated. "Addie, I love you. Why can't you see that?" he asked. "I know," I grunted pushing past him. "If I may," Vidalia spoke up again. "What's stopping you from accepting Romeo as your mate? You're carrying his pup and your actual mate, Lawrence is running for his life. Not to mention, your true mate, Oliver if I understand it well, has accepted your rejection. I'm certain he knows that you're not carrying his pup by now," Vidalia explained.She paused
Taysia's POV "You're going and that's final!" My father shouted at me. "Father, I cannot go back to Tirado. Alpha Lex hurt me!" I cried. "You set yourself up for what we he did! Are you upset that he chose the bastard over you?" My father growled. "NO! I swear it doesn't matter! Duke Sayid is my mate!" I protested. "Then what is the matter with you?" He snapped. "Father, do not make her go back. He is a maniac! Tell him what he really did to you!" Rose interjected. "Well?" My father asked and I shook my head in shame. My father stormed out enraged, but not before mandating that both me and Rose be there for the challenge. "You should have told father that Alpha Lex shoved the same disgusting pole he beats his horses with in your lady River! What are you afraid of? Shame? Embarrassment? He should be the one feeling those things! Not you!" Rose said furiously. "I know! Okay! I cannot face him. My mate is off on a mission so I cannot confide in him. In his letter, he says what he wen
Octavia's POV"When does your father return?" I asked Essex. "I heard word was sent a few days ago where I'm sure he's been held up with one of his whores," he replied rolling his eyes. "And your mother is just okay with that?" I asked annoyed. "I think she tries not to think about it. Regardless of what you may think of my mother, she has always done her best to raise us alone while my father fought in wars, chased whores, and beat her. She's not perfect, but I will protect her until my last breath," he sighed. "As I expect you to. How did you turn out to be...YOU? Lex is a manipulative little cunt, but you seem more honest. Why did you give up your claim to the Kingdom of Tirado?" I asked. "My father convinced me to do so. The Kingdom of Cassius would be a good move for the kingdom of Tirado. If only I had known Rose’s father never intended for me to take over. Apparently, I wasn't good enough to follow him or my father. I trained harder, ran faster, and became smarter than them bot
Alpha King Vincent's POV "It's been a long time," I heard a familiar voice say. It was the voice of someone I would kill before the night was over. "Elena! You bitch! How dare you show your face around here! Where's my pup?” I growled catching her by the throat. "D-Death is imminent. You reek of it," she croaked. "Is that a threat?" I asked nearly crushing her wind pipe just as I heard the ripping of flesh behind me. I tossed Elena to the ground. I placed my foot on her neck so that her face stayed buried in the dirt. "NO! There’s no fucking way!" I shouted over the thunderous cries of Lex's mother and a disappointed growl from his father. How is this possible? There's no way her wolf should have been able to defeat Lex's. Black magic! That's the only reason this would happen. That's it. She’s a WITCH! "Somebody has killed our warriors in the dining hall!" I heard Lawrence growl just as I heard screams erupt in front of me from Violet who looked to have been injured. "KILL THEM
Octavia's POVThe hours ticked by but mentally I was absent from the present. I missed Jubilee. He was my father, a best friend, and a teacher. If he were here he would tell me to get my shut together. But he’s not….I sighed before heading to check on Violet. "Are you going to be okay?" I asked Violet. "I cannot believe Killian hurt you in plain sight. What do you think triggered his anger this time?" I asked exasperated. "I know Killian attacked me because he was pissed to see me with Oscar again, but I think it had to happen. I no longer have to carry Lex's pup. I know I shouldn't be happy for such things, but I was going to end my life once the pup was born," she confessed. "What?!" I asked in shock. "Yeah. I was going to walk off of the cliff or drink too much and drown myself. There were endless possibilities and I thought of them all," she shrugged. "Well, I'm glad you're okay," I said rubbing her forehead. “Me too, thanks to my little sister, Vidalia," she smiled. "Yeah, I'm
McKenna’s POV “Tell me the story again, mama!” I begged. “You’ve heard me tell the story a million times, pup,” my mother chuckled. “Please!” I begged. “Okay,” she smiled. I cozied up on her lap in anticipation of one of my favorite tales of the past. It was my favorite story even if I didn’t completely understand it. The world we lived in seemed quite complicated. “Settle down, little one,” my mother chuckled. “Sorry, I’m just excited, mama,” I laughed. In a world where finding your mate was a treasure worth seeking for most werewolves, some cringed at the thought of such a burden. The kingdoms of Valaris, Klaus, Santak, Cassius, Koda, and Tirado were often at odds until they said the moon goddess herself put a halt to their petty disputes. Of the six kingdoms that governed this side of the world, Tirado was the most ruthless. “Well, the Kingdom of Klaus had been reigned over by the Petraeus family bloodline, whose enemies were the all-powerful Kingdom of Tirado. Klaus continued
Queen Antionette's POV Flashback to four years ago "I am to be married to the Alpha King himself. You will not tell Mckenna the truth," I ordered Mckenna's parents. "She deserves to know the truth, especially now that you're dragging her to that awful place!" her mother shouted. "Watch your tone!" I growled. "I don't care who you are! Do not come to our home again! We can tell our daughter whatever we desire," her father growled back. "If you tell her of your own transgressions, you are surely the one who will relive the nightmare. I would have McKenna stoned to death and make you watch. I would let you live only to relive the moment your daughter took her last breath and the life leave from her eyes. Your farm will be given away, and you will have nowhere to live, but you would certainly work the land as slaves. Try me!" I threatened. "You wouldn't do that," her mother calmly said. "Don't you remember what I am capable of? Who do you think had you banished from court and called a st
Present time McKenna's POV "Your highness, Queen Antoinette has volunteered my hand for extra help in her absence. Is there anything I can get you all?" I asked, looking around the room. "Yes, go to the kitchen and fetch us something to warm our bellies and satisfy our thirst," Beta Vincent interjected. "Yes, Beta," I said, bowing my head, despising his lustful glare on me. "Hurry up!" he called out, making everyone in the room laugh at my embarrassment except the Alpha King, who busied himself with other matters. I wouldn't dare talk back. I've seen the cruel ways they handle those that practice insubordination. I was neither a hero nor a coward. I just wanted to survive and then one day have my freedom. Queen Antoinette promised that I could leave the palace after serving under her for five years. I counted down the time. The money was decent but still not enough to travel far distances. Instead, I used it to puy necessities I required for hygiene, nothing fancy. I wanted out of t
