~August~

So this is it. Azalea had taken off from the packhouse only to lock in with the King. How did she even get to find him?

I bet she must have seduced him and brainwashed him to speak up for her, because he was obviously not speaking in his right senses. I know Azalea could be desperate but I never expected her to go that extent in her desperation.

Bruce sounded firm in his words and there was no doubt that he had chosen to stand by her. But had it really gotten to the point of giving me a challenge?

My eyes stayed glued to Azalea for a moment, and I nodded, giving in to the challenge.

“Alright. Let's hear from her. I bet she will pick me ten times over you.” I said boldly, feeling my ego rise.

But all of a sudden, it came crashing as Azalea made a shocking statement.

“I choose him.” She said, clinging firmly onto King Bruce's arms. “I will rather be with a man who cherishes me over a man who makes me feel worthless, hitting me and yelling at me at the slightest provocation.”

    ~Azalea~I stood back in awe as I watched Bruce fight for me. My heart raced in my chest as August had initially attempted to expose me, not until Bruce stepped in and ordered him out.I couldn't shake off the relief that enveloped me. It was an indescribable joy. Bruce was indeed more than what I had imagined him to be earlier. Who would have thought that he wouldn't get upset after finding out that his supposed mate was a human?As soon as August was dragged out of the hall and the premises, Bruce turned to the crowd, dismissing everyone.Though he had saved me publicly, I could see that there was still something that seemed to bother him. I couldn't deny the fact that I had wronged him, and of course he deserved some explanations for what happened earlier.The moment we got into the palace, I went on my knees before him, my eyes pleading.“I'm sorry I never told you all those things about myself.” I said, holding back my tears from making a show.A feeling of terror engulfed me.

    ~Azalea~But Zoe ignored my cries, dragging me effortlessly out of the room. When we arrived at the sitting room, a deep, hoarse voice called out, startling the both of us.“Stop right there!” Zoe's grip on me loosened instantly as she turned around to see who the intruder was.She lowered her head almost immediately, her legs trembling as the person behind the voice approached us, his steps steady and dominating.“What's going on here?” The voice asked once again, and that was when I realized that it was Bruce's voice. I raised my head quickly, locking my gaze with his and screaming repeatedly to get his attention.“You were right on time, Bruce. She was just trying to force me to come with her back to the packhouse.” I spelt out, feeling my fears gradually slipping off into courage. Bruce fumed, his brows furrowed as he turned his gaze on Zoe. “Is this true?” He quizzed, his voice stern and uncompromising. Zoe nodded slightly without bothering to raise her head. At that moment, B

    ~Azalea~Though reluctant, Bruce was left with no choice but to give in. He nodded slightly, watching me with soulful eyes as I hopped out of the car.As I approached father, I couldn't help but feel a growing sense of panic. There was no doubt that Bruce's gaze was on me right now, and he was obviously watching keenly to see if anything would go wrong.But I really hope nothing like that ever happens, because I certainly had nowhere else to go from here. As much as I had loved August so much in the past, I didn't see myself going back to him for any reason. That was the last thing on my mind to do.“Dad, please relax.” I yelled from a distance, walking towards him cautiously. His eyes swayed in my direction. His face flashed with a smile as soon as he saw me. “Azalea, is that you? Oh I thought I had lost you.” He groveled, mistakenly dropping the gun in his hands.His arms went wide open, wide enough to get me into his bosom. I reciprocated as I ran off to meet him, burying myself

    ~Azalea~Before now, I had changed back to my human form. I remained glued at a spot, unable to comprehend what was going on.Father's look had suddenly turned sour, his gaze piercing. I hadn't felt so guilty like I felt at this point. Why was I even feeling this way when clearly it was none of my fault.Father paused, leaning forward to where I was. I shot him a curious glance, unable to stand the suspense anymore.“Dad, what's going on here? What do you mean by those words you just said?” I said, pausing for his reaction.I was taken aback when I could see no flicker of guilt in his eyes. His face was mean, his eyes piercing with anger.He offered me a little smile as he let out a sigh of resignation. “Alright. I see you want to know what's going on right?” He asked.I nodded, not bothering to say a word, as I was rather focused on hearing what he was about to say.“That's fine. Since you really wish to know, I have no choice but to tell you everything about your mother right now. I

    ~Bruce~Hearing Azalea sound that way, something within me broke. I was suddenly beginning to regret my act for what I had done earlier.But at the same time, she still had to understand that I did what I did solely because of her safety. What would have become of her if that bastard had succeeded in shooting her? Obviously she would have been dead or severely injured. Why was she refusing to see things from my own perspective?“Alright, I’ve heard you. But can you at least tell me a few things about your past? How did you end up in the werewolf world? How did you get to meet August?” I saw her face twist into a slight frown, a clear evidence that she didn't quite expect me to have asked that question.I waited nonetheless, staring at her with a pacifying look. The silence between us was choking. It was as though we had both planned to keep silent at that point.Then she suddenly heaved a deep sigh, restoring life back into the room. Her face looked uneasy and dragging, her eyes heav

    ~Azalea~“I am going to make that bastard pay with his miserable life for making you go through all this suffering.” Bruce's words remained ever fresh in my memory, making my heart skip.Now I felt really bad for dismissing him in that manner, but I couldn't help it. I had only acted through my emotions. Father is dead, and now I'm left to navigate my way in this godforsaken werewolf world.To think that I had just discovered myself as a werewolf recently. Since I awoke my werewolf strength, everything about me seemed so different. It was surprising when I realized that I was no longer a human but a werewolf, but more surprising when I found out that father's hatred for werewolves was more than met the eye. He could go any length to destroy all werewolves if he had the opportunity to, even to the point of attempting to kill his own daughter?That made no sense to me. Bruce's timely intervention was underemphasized. I mean I would have been a dead meat by now if he had not stepped in

    ~Azalea~I froze from the weight of his words, my legs feeling suddenly heavy like the whole world was underneath them.His face turned serious, sending my mind spiraling in thoughts. Now I had suddenly forgotten how to express myself to him. It was as though his words had gotten me completely dumbfounded.“Azalea.” Bruce's calm voice broke through the silence around me again. He crouched beside me, gently cradling me in his arms. His touch was steady, and reassuring, and his presence alone eased the fear.My whole body suddenly eased up, feeling like it had been consumed by a whole different energy entirely.“Are you okay?” he asked, stroking my hair and surprisingly, I was. His touch soothed me and the fear was no longer there. Only the aftermath of that beast's visit, and a slight headache.I nodded, flashing him a huge smile as I felt his warmth around me. “Yes, yes. I'm fine, just that… You know what, forget about it. I have something more important to tell you.” His eyes narrow

    ~August~I was still unable to get over Azalea's flight from the packhouse. It was as though my bond towards her suddenly increased as soon as she was gone.Now there was obviously no way to get her back because she was in the hands of the Alpha King.I still wonder what he had seen in her that made him decide to harbor her and even fight for her like his whole life depended on it.No matter what, I had to find a way to bring her back. She belongs to me and no one is going to stop that from happening, not even the almighty Alpha King who thinks himself a Lord over us.Following Zoe's suggestion, I came to the conclusion to go into the king's palace secretly and capture her without his knowledge.But while we were still at it, thinking of the best way to go about the plan, I began to notice a growing sense of attraction between Zoe and Gray.At first, I overlooked it, seeing it as a friendly bond between two people who get to meet themselves through me, but soon I realized it was way m

    Logan's POVAfter the Alpha of the Eastern Pack called that he had Avalon and Isabella in his pack,we set out at once.

Going against my pack would be the end of them.As Gabriel led me to the place he had settled them in,my heartbeat spiked and twisted in agony,I could feel Isabella around, and she was in pain.

I whimpered when I felt my bone breaking.I was beginning to shift.“Isabella” The door flung open and my moment was interrupted.The claws that were out had now gone back inside,I no longer felt any pain in my leg. I panted heavily and yelled at Avalon in anger,he was taken aback he sped to me but I shifted back.“What's wrong with you?” He asked while trying to touch me.“Leave me alone!” I ran to attack him.He managed to dodge my attack,I gasped when I didn't see him in fron

Avalon had hit him seriously with his car when he was chasing after us.“You should stop crying,I hate tears.” Avalon said and I turned to glare at him.“He is going to find me in no time, it's not too late to end your shit!” I flared up.“That he marks you doesn't mean you belong to him,he will get worn out and choose another mate when he doesn't find us.” He replied calmly.I looked away from him to the moving waters,and in a moment I doubted Logan's love for me, if he would really get tired of searching for me and choose another.“Isabella.” Avalon called softly and draped his Jacket on my shoulder.“Can't…you accept me?” He bent down in front of me and stared into my eyes.“I.. can't.” I blinked.“Why?” He reached for my face and touched my chin.“It's because I don't love you.” I said coldly.His hand froze midway and he clenched his fist,I shut my

I looked around in hope to see Isabella in the room but unfortunately I didn't see her,I growled in pain.“He. took…her.” I heard someone say and I looked to see who it was.“Mandy?” “Avalon took her some minutes ago,it was like he knew you were coming.” She added.I clenched my fist and turned to look at Vanessa one more time.I wished I could just end her but I couldn't for unknown reasons.Vanessa and Mandy are in the building,get them out safely.
