ISABEL POV I decided to head back to the Castle of Serenity, my meeting with Eira, if anything, only made it more obvious that I have been boxed to a corner. The last thing I wanted was to have Alpha Xavier, the love of my life and Alpha Dario, my only remaining family, have a go at each other."What can we do for you?" I heard a beautiful voice that broke through to me. I came back to myself and couldn't figure out where I was."I'm sorry, where is this place?" The girl simply stared at me with a smile playing on her face."I understand what you need, we usually don't have gigolos. Perhaps, a happy ending massage with one of our skilled masseurs will have you leaping for joy." She said but none of what she had said made any sense to me. I confess I am not very experienced in the act of pleasure."Don't worry Solina, I'm not sure she understood anything you just said." I heard a familiar voice and turned to find Verin standing a bit off and watching me with cat-like eyes."Verin, I c
ALPHA DARIO POVThe knock on the door woke me up with a startle. "Come." I tried to seat up and be ready for whoever was coming in. In the last couple of days, Aria has changed all the guards who were loyal to Alpha Emrys, posting them to the outlying towns and villages. The most loyal, she posted to the border town, very far from the city. It would take a week on a fast horse to get to the capital.She had demanded that guards and the council retake their oaths, but a different one which was to the crown and Lunaria and not to Alpha Emrys. "I'm sorry for disturbing you." She said confidently as she strode into the room. "Seeing your hairy chest almost makes me want to place my hand on your chest and ride that weapon of yours.""I live to serve you, Aira." I held her palms, they were soft and tender, and brought them to my face while I swung my legs to sit on the edge of the bed. She looked down at and pulled me close, such that my head was resting on her stomach. "Something is bother
ISABEL POV "Hey Marita, have you seen Alpha Xavier?" I forced myself to maintain a stoic expression. I could still visualize her on her knees, begging to be molested by Theodrin."I don't understand." She smiled mischievously."I'm sorry, but you've lost me." I couldn't understand if she meant it or if she was kidding."Oh, are you lost? Let me say it in words you can understand." She moved closer, practically invading my personal space. "You don't get to bang him and expect me to keep tags on his whereabouts.""Marita!" I was quite taken by the words coming out of her mouth."He's off on a business trip." She strode off swaying her hips like Theodrin. "Stupid girl." Did Theodrin give her a piece of herself. I watched her disbelievingly. I had heard Theodrin give her and Dyelin their charge. As far as I'm concerned, the whole of Wolfshade thinks my father is guilty. But, I don't have to standby and allow them to continue in error. "What's eating you up, I've been watching you since.
ALPHA XAVIER POV The trip to Rosevale was important, I needed to make an economic and a military alliance. Rosevale is a mysterious country, although they are small in land mass, they have the highest number of cities that a single country could possibly have. They are hospitable and open to all, their towns quickly metamorphosed into a city at a faster rate. I had come to understand that having a large population meant that you become the darling of all nations. People usually want to get into trade deals with you, while Wolfshade and Lunaria could boast of having powerful military and being self-sufficient. Rosevale prides themselves of being the richest. "We can not deny the fact that Wolfshade and Lunaria are powerful nations, but we are also unique in our own way." Alpha Hector, the leader of Rosevale said."Yes, I understand that you don't need us. But times are changing, perhaps, we could come to some sort of arrangement and strike a deal if it favors both parties." I said s
ALPHA XAVIER POV It was much later in the evening, after we had checked into the Mist Blessing Inn, that I came back out to the common room of the Inn to find Valerian dancing with a girl. The atmosphere seemed warm and lively, but I was not in the mood for any of that."I was wondering when you'd get out of your room." Valerian came to me with his dance partner. "This is Shira, my dance partner. She's been showing me some unique dance steps here in Mistwood.""Oh, is she now?" I raised my eyebrow at Valerian and that dampened his mood. What is wrong with me, I didn't want that. "I'm sorry Val, enjoy your dance. I'll just have an evening walk." I said quickly and left.I was just about to enter the woods when Valerian caught up with me. "Wait up Xavier, what is going on?" "Nothing, I'm just trying not to get emotional." He rolled his eyes at me and I knew this was going to be a long night filled with interviews that would seem like interrogation."Emotional?" He repeated and I nodde
ALPHA XAVIER POV The trip from Azurevale and Mistwood was quite eventful, especially with Shira sharing some of her cultures, traditions and customs that would be described as interesting. I didn't know such cultures existed and felt many people south of this part would consider their tradition too lewd.My girls led by Marita, Dyelin and a few other officials gathered at the entrance of the castle of serenity to welcome me when we arrived at Wolfshade, amidst sounds of joy and happiness. Some grains had arrived at Wolfshade already before me. I had struck some other deals with a few other kingdoms before proceeding to Rosevale. So I was not surprised by the level of welcome that greeted us. I did a quick scan of everyone gathered and found out Isabel is not there."Wolfshade welcomes you back, Alpha Xavier. The peace has been kept and fruits of the success of your travels had arrived long before you got here!" Dyelin intoned in a loud voice. She's usually in charge when Valerian an
ALPHA XAVIER POV The group was already assembled by morning before I was roused from bed. Valerian wanted just twenty trackers but many had come when they heard Isabel was missing. Wolfshadans have fallen in love with her."Good Morning fellas. My wife Isabel is missing. I don't know how long she's been gone but we intend to find her." I had Marita pass around a few of her clothes since most of them were werewolves. "Find her and don't engage if the enemy is too strong. If you can't find her after three days of searching, set a course to return home by sunrise on the fourth day.""Yes Alpha!!!" They choursed and Valerian went about giving out further instructions and grouping the team."Dyelin, you must hold the fort again, I'll be back soon." Dyelin simply nodded although with an expression I couldn't quite understand."I will advise that you don't go out on this search Xavier, we have the best trackers in the whole universe. You are needed here, here in Wolfshade." Valerian advised
ISABEL POVI sneaked out of Wolfshade and took a route that would not lead me straight to Thornridge. This was a sacrifice I had to make to avoid bloodshed between the two most important male in my life. It was easy for me to sneak out and avoid being caught. I had taken time to figure out where all the border guards were and tried to avoid Luc and Samon as much as possible. "This is going to be very difficult, remember what happened the last time you tried to leave Wolfshade." Livia had reminded, since her boarding house was at the outskirt of the city."I know Livia, but this is something I have to do. I have to try at least, even if I get caught in the process. It's better than just sitting down and doing nothing." I said pleadingly. "You just have to be careful, now that things are going so well with Alpha Xavier, I'd hate to see you spoil all of that." Livia cautioned again."I know, I'll be careful." She hugged me and I left, in the middle of the night on foot. I had decided t
