Alpha Miles POV“Noooo!’ I ran to meet my dying wife. The wife of my youth.Even though she deserved death, I wanted to punish her myself.As I ran to hold her in my arms; I saw my daughter crash to the ground.“Saloni!”She had been fighting with Dragon. Relentless and with everything in her. While this fight seemed like easy feet for Dragon, it was not so for my daughter.She was about to give in anytime soon.Just before I could reach her, the rogue leader putting on a Dragon mask sliced her neck in one flick of his sword.I was too in shock to move.“Saloni!!!” I screamed her name to wake up. Tears hugged my cheeks like a river.It was then I noticed Dragon take on a familiar opponent. The man who had struck my wife. Brian!That was Brian!As he swerved his sword in the air, he unmasked the Dragon with his sword.And more shock awaited me.“Jeff!” That was my son! I could recognise him in one glance.Much had not changed about him except his broad shoulders and mature look.I das
Alpha Reon’s POV“Swara!” I caught up with her at the temple.All through my traveling, I thought about her.I couldn’t be more glad we were alive to see each other after a series of painful events.She was taking a nap when I burst in; strangling my arms around her before she could fully wake up.“My Lady, I’ve missed you!” I hugged her even tighter.Still, in a half-sleepy state, she wondered if I was the one.“Last I heard of you, you were in prison.” She yawned like a cute puppy.“All I had to do was think about you till I got out.” I peered at her angelic eyes; enjoying the way they looked at me. Absence surely makes the heart go fonder.“Come here.” She drew me in for her hug. I melted in her soothing embrace.Never had a hug felt so nice.“First time you are being this romantic with me.” I teased her.“How you always tease me.” She rolled her eyes and disentangled from my embrace.“I heard what you did. What were you thinking giving your golden sceptre to Kenzie?” I scolded her
Swara’s POV “We can’t be together. Except you reject her,” my heart broke into a thousand pieces hearing those words from her mouth. I transformed into my wolf form and ran to the deep forest so I could cry in solitude. I wasn’t crying because of what she said. But I knew his answer already. He was nodding in acceptance to what she said. “Rejecting her is the best thing to do. Her wolf is weak. She can’t be useful to you. Moreso, you love me more than you love her. You are only fated to her. Therefore, you think you owe her one. That’s where you are wrong.” I could still hear her voice in the distance. FLASHBACK Like every normal day, I awoke before dawn and resumed my usual routine. It was my duty to make sure the maids performed their duty while I took over kitchen duties. Father loves my cooking. But I think it’s fair enough for me to cook since that’s my only usefulness to my family. It was mentally draining waking up early to supervise the stubborn maids. They had since los
Swara’s POVLuckily, my family was yet to be back.I dialled his number again. He picked up on the fifth trial.“Hey, Bram. Are you good? I got worried.” I asked in a rush.“I’m sorry Swara. I got caught up in something. Happy Birthday, my love. I’m sorry I couldn’t show up this morning.”“You could have called babe. I was left in the dark. I waited all day for you.”Í know I kept you waiting and I’m deeply sorry, Swara. I will make it up to you, I promise. There is somewhere I’d love to take you soon.” I could hear a voice in the background and sudden silence. “I’ve got to go dear. We will talk later.”“Alright.” Barely had I finished when he hung up.His action took me by surprise. Was he in a meeting? He was acting strange. He’d normally excuse himself from a meeting to talk to me. And we’d talk for hours. But tonight’s call felt rushed and off.I calmed my thoughts from running wild and thinking amiss. Alpha Bram will never hurt me deliberately like my father. He was one of the fe
Swara’s POVI noticed there was a backdoor right where they stood. Sure it led to the bathroom. Little wonder, they could catch up with me so fast.I was out of breath from running and too weak to fight.I felt like beating Bram to a pulp but I was no match for him.So I faced my twin sister. I was no match for her either. But I was willing to give it a try.“How could you Saloni?” I matched across to her, willing to slap her. But she was faster than me. She caught my hand and held it firmly.“You know I’m more useful to him than you are. It’s high time you accepted the truth.”“And what is the truth?” I yelled still struggling to free my hand. But she wouldn’t budge.“The truth is he can never be with you. He was only stalling till the right time to tell you. If he ever makes you, that’d be after I’ve given him an heir so your weak energy doesn’t tamper with his vital essence.”“How could you do this to me, Saloni?” Tears wouldn’t stop brimming down my cheeks.“Balme it on your wolf
Bram’s POVI couldn’t bear to look at her innocent and pain-filled eyes when I rejected her. But I needed to make a drastic decision for the good of my future.I watched Swara sleep. She had passed out on me when I said those words to her. “Don’t do that, Swara. This is not you. Don’t make me lose my respect for you.”I must have hurt her badly. But I hope she looks past the hurt and understand why I did what I did.If I had not rejected her, she would always be the envy of her sister and father. And my pack will make life a living hell for her.With her weak wolf, it’s hardly she will survive conception. It’s either she survives the child or she dies at childbirth.I didn’t want any of those for her.I remembered how we first met. It was during her shifting ceremony. I was happy to have met my fated mate. But I didn’t approach her then. I waited and stalked her movement.I deliberately bumped into her at the shopping mall one fateful evening in a bid to talk to her.Her shopping item
Swara’s POV I felt a sharp pain in my head as I rose to consciousness. The heavy rays of light that filled the room through the window made me think it was morning. Fresh memories of what happened hours ago came gushing into my subconsciousness. I thought I would be tired of crying by now yet my eyes started to get misty. I got out of bed – feeling stiff all over. I winced in pain as I felt it burdensome to move my waist. Slowly, I made way for the mirror. What a mess I was! My eyes contained 12 years of sorrow and bucketful of tears that were about to rain down on my cheeks. I lost the effort to wipe my teary face and just allowed my mind to brood over my worst birthday. I’ve always had it worse. But this was the worst. One time my father flogged me on my birthday for going out with friends to celebrate. He had bought Saloni a cake and I didn’t get to eat a bite. He had taken her out while I enslaved them in the kitchen. After I was done, I grew bored and depressed. And I
Alpha Reon’s POVPeople say I’m the most vicious Alpha to kill my father and usurp the throne from him. What they don’t know is what he did to me first.He killed my fated mate.Why?She was a descendant of the family that committed treason.Father wouldn’t hear my pleas to spare her. Moreso, she didn’t take part in the treason.He believed she wanted me for the sole purpose of seeking revenge for her family.Since the day he issued the command to have her beheaded, I have never been the same again. If my father could do something as callous as killing his woman, I’d continue to make people fear me and my sword.When I lived under my father’s shadow, people saw me as a weak heir. One who can’t rule and be as brave as his father.I was glad to have been given a chance to prove them wrong.All the court officials have nothing on me.Some have tried to get in my favour by suggesting I marry from their clan.But I’d hear nothing of it.I wasn’t in the mood to take on another woman.Judith
