MIQUEL'S P. O. V
“Come join hands with us!” Everyone in the throne room kept on bamboozling me. Their proficient drummers are not helping either. I wanted to say NO, but I lost my voice. “Whatever he is demanding from you is a no” I kept on hearing the calm incentive voice. I felt a power carrying me from where I was, but Miguel appeared and pushed me away before I could join hands with them. “Miguel.” I screamed and jerked upright. “You made it brother” he smiled at me and I hugged him so tight. “I made it all thanks to your assistance” I put in much effort to control my emotions. “I'm hungry,” we said simultaneously and smiled. “Greetings father” he nodded, staring at me intently. “I'm sorry I inflicted the pain on you” the last thing I could remember was leaving the room to attend to his call. Father left us alone and that was a relief. “Now that father left us for a while, let's do something interesting” he suggested, feeling exhilarated. “Mother said father will be occupied, let's go” he left my room. “I'm on the edge of your seat so you better not let me down” I breathe heavily trying to catch up with him. We got to the magnanimous palace garden, and I was wowed. I stared at the garden, enjoying the view. The atmosphere looks so inducing. I inhaled the fresh hair, feeling exhilarated. I wish I could stay here all day. “Are you listening to me?” Miguel tapped me and I came back to reality. “Huh?” I turned to stare at him and screamed out, appalled. He was stark naked and his manhood was dangling as he faced me. I don't think I can do this anymore. I quickly turned back to him and covered my face, petrified. “What was the scream for? I thought the alpha should be ballsy” he uttered, making me feel more sheepish. “Can you stop calling me the alpha and I won't stare at you until you wear your clothes?” I was still backing him, my hands on my face. “I'm so confused, we are the same gender, and you're acting like the opposite. I thought you would be thrilled to bits about seeing me transform into my wolf form, but I guess you're feeling disillusioned right now, let's get out of here then” he said in the death of despair. “I will love to see you transform” I shrieked delightedly. I closed my eyes and counted ten and there before me is a medium fluffy wolf wagging its tail. I touched his fur tenderly. I know I will transform one day, but I keep asking myself when? I watched as he ran forth and back, admiringly. An hour later, he came back in his human form and I threw his cloth at him. “You're being unbelievable brother” he wore his cloth, sitting beside me. I looked away, mortified. I promised not to tell anyone, but Miguel is not anyone, right? “It's almost dark, but I can teach you some fighting techniques” I changed the topic, and we swung to action. It's been a month already and Miguel is now completely healed. The hall was filled to the brim with Alphas, Lunas and Gamers of the eighty Packs of father's subjects. Father was on a seat with his beautiful Luna beside him. Miguel sat down beside me for the first time. Today is a judgment day for Umberto. She had been in the dungeon since we fell into a coma. Maybe she would have been spared if mother and I were not involved. She dared to call the Alpha's beloved a bitch. The fact that father called the Alphas, Lunas and Gamers of the other Packs means the matter won't be taken lightly. Jason couldn't sit comfortably where he was seated. “I told you she won't have a good end” Miguel whispered, feeling unfazed. People like her don't deserve a good end. I admit. “Today, you all are present here to witness a very crucial matter, but before I proceed…” He mind-linked the guards, they came in and dropped Umberto roughly at the door. I looked at her, but couldn't figure out what was different about her. She crawled into the Courtroom at a snail's pace. “This woman seated beside me is not just my mate, she is your Luna and my backbone, and Umberto dared to dishonor her!” Father was becoming hot under the collar. Everyone went quiet as the courtroom's temperature grew hot. “Aside from that, you made my children unconscious. Days crawled into weeks, weeks to months. You should be grateful to the moon goddess, she woke them back to life” he let off the steam. “This will serve as a deterrent to others who dishonor their Lunas” he minded linked the guards, and they held her harshly. “Be delicate with her, she is with a child” Miguel said slowly, but they heard him. All eyes drifted to Miguel and me. “Help me brother” he mind-linked me. That's what I noticed was different about her. “Yes, father, she is pregnant” there was a little commotion in the hall as I confirmed the word.Twenty years later MIGUEL'S P.O.V I knew father would never forget the case. Twenty years ago, after which, father thought I was the one who said she was pregnant. Umberto was indeed three months pregnant and father spared her to raise the child, gave her twenty years of grace, and now it's twenty years. Everyone was present in the courtroom, just like it was twenty years ago. The difference is that everyone is a little advanced in age. Umberto knelt reluctantly with Ceasor, their son standing beside her. My heart kept on saying they have something up their sleeves. “I have my judgment in two ways for the crime you committed twenty years ago. Considering my relationship with Jason, I can give you the grace that you either become an omega or a rogue. That's the best option I can give you” Umberto stood at a point. Ceasor stared at the Alpha who was looking impatient, then at his mother. “Mother, stop being obstinate and accept the alpha's order by becoming an omega” he whispered at
MIGUEL'S P.O.V Father is trying to be obstinate instead of apologizing to her. Mother used her power on him, and he fell on his back. Only mother can lay a finger on the Alpha. “Don't you ever dare talk about death between us again. Can we go for the training now because I'm so sure Jason won't go easy on you tomorrow? I will not go easy on you tonight either” mother said and the battle began. “I never knew mother is this good” I whispered as she used her sword like a guru. “A Luna must know how to fight because she is the Alpha's assistant” Miquel whispered back. We watched keenly and mother seemed to be winning. I kept on studying every step she took. “Long live the Luna, long live mother” Miquel hailed excitedly before I could cover his mouth. “Greetings father” we bowed. Father was laying on the floor, breathing heavily. It was my first time seeing him in shorts and a shirt. Not until now did I realize father is younger than his age, since he was always in a huge renaissance.
MIQUEL'S P.O.V. “Father, what if my mate is not among them all?” I was on my feet already. “That means you have to marry one of them, not everyone is destined to have a mate, my son”. It's so shocking, mother isn't saying anything because she knows this can't work. Maybe she didn't disapprove because father's mind is made up. It's been five years, and he has declined to appoint a new beta. He sees mother as his beta. He is making everything tough for me. It was a love letter from a lady I don't know. She was ready to get united with a nonnative and also ready to endure every pain. She was ready to wait for my love. What on earth! What kind of woman is she? Father contended I have no option but to go along with the treaties. I stood at a hill, reasoning what to do. I can't select any of them. I'm just a lady like them. My coaching with Seneca ended two years ago, but I still consider him as my guru. It's a new place I discovered a couple of years ago that can relax the mind. A bre
MIGUEL'S P.O.V “You're stalked with a dumb girl,” I laughed. I step out of Miquel's room to grasp some fresh air, his immense room is suddenly too small for me, it's almost like I'm suffocating. That is when I begin to feel a pair of eyes on me. I turn around, but I see no one, yet I'm so sure someone is staring at me. Only Miquel and I are present in the room. I should be scared, but I don't feel any bit of fear whatsoever, instead, I feel excited. It was then that it hit me, the sweetest, yet most intoxicating smell ever. I'd never perceived anything so sweet before. I shut my eyes and inhale the scent, breathing in and holding it for a long time. I looked around, but I couldn't see anyone. I still feel uneasiness within me. I've not been this excited in a long time. She's there, I can feel it, I can smell her. So, I start to follow the scent, oh goddess, she is within the Pack house premises. I went back to Miquel's room. “You also want to marry the Alpha?” he demanded. I stared
MIGUEL'S POV “Yes it's me, how could you sacrifice your happiness for a loveless marriage?” he was more than disappointed. We are twins, and we shouldn't keep things from each other, right? “I know, but father wouldn't agree. He would think we are playing around since the lady doesn't know we are mates yet” I muttered. “You're planning to leave the Pack right, I will leave in your place, brother. It will be our little secret” he chortled. “Why the sudden happiness…wait, did you just say I should take your place as the Alpha? No way” He wants to put me in trouble again. There is no way I'm agreeing to that. “I'm happy because I will find my mate where I'm going. You might not understand now, but you will surely understand one day that you're the right person to the throne as the Alpha. My only role is to support you brother” he avowed, patting my back. “Just do this for your brother for the last time…we will both benefit from it” he gushed delightedly and I sighed. “Father might
MIGUEL'S POV“You can turn back” She took a small robe and put it on. Her cleavages were still showing. How can I control myself or the beast in me? I'm so naive in this!“This wasn't our agreement, so you should get yourself clothed, fully” I mumbled, emphasizing the word ‘fully’ looking at the floor. What if she is aware we are mates? The thought made me stare at her. She stood up, staring at me.“I know the agreement is for us to make this fake, but after that day, father read my mind. He threatened he would kill me if I ever played on his intelligence” she gulped.“So what in the world is this dressing about? He wouldn't dare hurt the Alpha's bride, would he” I snickered? If he ever tried it, he would lose his life.“I know, but have you thought about what would happen when he tells the whole Pack our marriage is counterfeit? Your father is a strict man, and he may have us beheaded” she shuddered. I'm the bigger criminal here, if father ever discovered he married off the wrong son,
Two different strangers MIQUEL'S POV “Faster!” I snapped at the horse. It was late at night. I needed something tangible to bribe Seneca, so he could agree to go to the human world with me. I stopped as I stared into the green wood. If only I had my transformation already, I would have caught something earlier. It's been three hours. Everywhere was already silent. Miguel will be getting married tomorrow, and I'm happy for him. My encounter with his mate shows the lady will make a great partner and our future Luna. The breeze blew the leaves to a different angle. I wasn't going to give up. That's what my guru always told me. I heard some faint footsteps approaching far away. I stared in every direction and there it was. A big bear. I was so excited, my hard work paid off. I took an arrow and aimed it, calculating if it would work. I had my suspicions. It will, but that won't bring him down. I aimed the arrow to his back leg. The bear groaned and sped off. “Yah!” I scream
MIQUEL'S POVHuman World: Gilead “That was more than I expected from a woman…” He started slowly, making me stand on my own. “However, this blade is quite dangerous,” he smiled, returning the knife to his sack. I could hear running horses, and so could he. “I'm sure he went this way,” the stranger I encountered earlier said. The pervert stared at me and covered me up with his robe. “Follow me” he pulled me forward, but I protested. He stopped in his tracks. “It will be the end both for me and you if we are caught in these woods” it wouldn't have been if I was in my robe' I wanted to spat that in his face but stopped. I had no option but to run with him. “Get them!” the man barked, and they started chasing after us. Who are these people really? Can they be from Jason? Or are they rogues. What will rogues be doing in our pack, of all places? We kept running, but halted in our steps when we got to the end of the road. It was a mountain and down there was a deep sea.
