JAMES.The moment I received the rogue king’s message, I started off after informing everyone about our plan. I would head to the location, which is a forest next to the dark forest that Chloe was taken to the last time she was kidnapped, then the warriors would follow and scour the woods. If the rogue king was smart, he wouldn’t place all the hostages in one place. So my father, Lisa and some warriors would search the forest whilst I go to meet the rogue king. Lisa wasn’t a warrior but her mate was captured so naturally, she couldn’t stay back home and worry all day.It was 7:15 PM when I reached the forest. Zeke was very agitated, it seemed like the moon was calling out to him.He kept growling and clawing in my mind, fighting for control. But I wasn’t going to let an edgy beast out at this critical moment when our pregnant mate needed us. I ran through the forest pack and felt some burning sensations on my skin. It wasn’t my pain but Chloe’s which meant I was close if I could f
CHLOE.[Minutes prior to the victory]I was terrified and very sure that this was it. That the rogue king had succeeded despite people saying the good guys always win. But why did rogue king win? Why? All he did is harm people for the blue lily and covet things that didn’t belong to him. Why did things go his way?I took a deep breath and closed my eyes in resignation as I tilted my head to the side, exposing my neck. The rogue king buried his head in the crook of my neck, inhaling lecherously and I almost gagged. His hot breath fanned my neck but all I felt was terror and repulsion. The moment his teeth grazed my neck and he was about to mark me, I felt the heaviness on the chains that bound me become lighter and I immediately broke out of them. The rogue king was too busy basking in my scent that he didn’t realize I had broken free and I wasn’t going to give him a chance to do so. Elongating my claws, I swiftly cut through his neck and his head was ripped off before he could e
JAMES.[Two years and ten months later]Bang! Bang! Bang! The familiar banging of my office door made me groan tiredly knowing exactly who it was. Bang! Bang! Bang!“Hey my cuties, let’s go downstairs, your father is working, don't disturb him,” Lisa’s voice echoed from the hallway.“No!! We want daddy!!” My 2 year old son Asher’s voice boomed and I could imagine him stomping his feet with a pout on his mouth. “Yes, we want daddy!!” Two other childish voices screamed in unison. Bang! Bang! Bang!“Daddy…” Asher’s voice cracked and I knew he was about to cry. I put down what I was doing and sighed softly.‘Let them in,' I mind-linked Lisa to let them in.The door creaked open on its hinges and three little munchkins with a face that looked like mine ran into the office with their short tiny legs. They had worn cute adorable teletubbie’s onesies.Chloe had surprisingly given birth to two girls and one boy when we were only expecting one pup... We named the girls Carinna and Sabrina wh
JAMES.Five years earlier..."Alpha, the bouquet of roses you ordered has arrived," Clara, my secretary's voice, resonated from the doorway of my office.I lifted my gaze from the computer screen, where numbers and reports had held me captive for hours, and greeted her with a smile, acknowledging the arrival of the roses."It's about time... Thank you, Clara. Please, place them on my desk," I replied. She complied, her grin revealing a row of pearly whites."Miss Jasmine is indeed fortunate to have a gentleman like you," Clara remarked.A sigh escaped me, not of exasperation, but of contentment. In truth, I considered myself the fortunate one because Jasmine and I chose to love each without the mate bond. Life in general was great so far and I couldn't have it any other way."Yes, we're both lucky," I agreed. Glancing at the wall clock, I noticed it was well past her working hours. "Are you heading out now?"Clara nodded. "Yes, Alpha. Unless there's anything else you need?"I shook my
CHLOE. Have you ever heard of the words ‘karma is a bitch? Oh boy, she really is, and believe me, you don’t want to be on the receiving end.Ok, first things first, I believe an introduction is in order, right? Right. My name is Princess Chloe Tennyson, the most beautiful fair maiden in the pack. My father is the Alpha of Winter pack and even being wolfless at 18, I still get all the spoils a teenager could ever dream of. Until one day, everything changed.Remember that karma I told you about? Well, it was about to visit me on the most unwanted day ever… Brace yourselves.***24 hours earlier…“Congratulations, class of 2023, you are officially graduates,” our lecturer announced.Everyone in my class cheered like wild animals, except me. Because again, everyone in my class had their wolves, except me.“Yay!” They shouted merrily, throwing their caps in the air. The lecturer walked out of the noisy class and I took out my powder compact to check if my face was still as flawless as I ha
CHLOE Two hours later, I felt like a princess in my sparkling blue mermaid gown that accentuated my tiny curvy figure, as I walked down the stairs to the grand ballroom. This was it.The night of my graduation ball, I had planned to make it unforgettable. I had invited all the elite members of my class, the ones who were destined to be the future leaders of our pack. I had also prepared a special surprise for my boyfriend Jake, who had no idea that I was going to announce our engagement to my father, the Alpha.But where was my dearest boyfriend hiding? I scanned the cheerful mingling crowd for Jake, but I couldn't find him. I couldn't smell him either, but that was normal for me. Unlike the other wolves who could scent their mates. I was still waiting for the day when I would shift for the first time, and feel the bond with my mate. I know you might all think I was delusional but Jake had assured me that he loved me anyway and that he didn't care about the fate or the bond. He sa
CHLOE.A few minutes later... I will show Jess why I'm the princess who always got what she wanted!I gripped the steering wheel of my car tightly as I drove to the dark woods. I had changed into a black truck suit after the altercation. I had a mission to accomplish, and I was not going to let anything stop me. I was going to make Jess pay for what she did to me. Like, what gave her the audacity to steal my boyfriend from me and lie that they were fated?My mind reeled back to how humiliated I felt when Jake walked away from me as if I meant nothing… Jess had to die because she caused all this by messing with his mind. I always considered my poor Jakie to be gullible. Jess had to pay for interfering with my perfect relationship. But I knew I couldn't do it alone because I was weak and vulnerable. I had to find a group of rogues who lived in the woods, away from the laws and rules of the packs. They were outcasts, criminals, and killers who worked for money. They were perfect for m
CHLOE.Do you remember the karma I first talked about in the beginning? Well, she was about to betray me by showing her true self to me just when I thought I had gotten away with murder… Brace yourselves.***"Daddy, what are you talking about?" I pouted my lips as I pretended not to know what he was talking about.He shook his head, " Don't daddy me Chloe," he replied firmly with narrowed eyes. I knew I was in trouble when I saw my father's face. He looked furious, his eyes blazing with anger and disappointment."Chloe, what have you done?" he growled, his voice low and menacing this time around.I bantered my eyelashes and tried to act innocent, but I knew he had found out. He always did. He was the Alpha, after all. He knew everything that happened in the pack."I don't know what you're talking about, Dad," I lied, hoping he would buy it."Don't play dumb with me, young lady. You killed Jess with the help of rogues… Why?" he demanded, his voice rising.I felt a surge of resentment
