ISABEL POV The camp broke quite early and everyone sensing Alpha Xavier's mood decided to tread cautiously. Alpha Xavier and Valerian rode on either side of me and no one said anything. Which placed everyone on the edge. Dried meat and bread was shared around midday but everyone ate on their mount. Valerian slowed the pace to a slow trot to allow everyone to eat.Soon the soldiers gave up and started singing as we approached Wolfshade, I guess it was impossible to have ridden all day in silence.The Alpha and his mate,The love rekindled that should never wane,Love so strong that there's no hate,She is secure in his mane.In moonlit nights, their bond unfolds,Silent whispers, tales of old,Through challenges, their hearts remain,A love enduring, free from stain.Upon the hills, where shadows dance,They find in each other, sweet romance,With every sunrise, love's flame's sustained,In the Alpha's embrace, forever chained.The song made sense, it was the song the child had sung
ALPHA XAVIER POVBinding her and leaving her powerless gave me a new feeling. I felt the urge to take her there and then but how could I do that? I was surprised that my wolf was not as surprised as I would have expected. If anything, I missed her and had been looking forward to seeing her and bedding her especially since leaving Rosevale.These are serious issues, what if she's a spy? I tried to flash back to the moment when I first made a demand for her, did her father really refuse or was it all an act? Has she been feeding her father information about Wolfshade? I had questions, lots of them that needed answers yesterday.It is no secret that every kingdom has spies in every other kingdom, so who are Thornridgen spies here in Wolfshade? It was common practice to pretend not to know the spies of other other kingdoms in your country, so long as they don't undermine you. But is that a chance I want to take?I stopped listening to her at some point and just pretended that I was but th
ISABEL POVAlpha Xavier entered the room just when I was about to give over, Theodrin was even more wicked than I thought. I was more surprised that I had held on and had given nothing out. Including her secrets about Dyelin and Marita, I can't deny the fact that I wasn't tempted to be a smart idiot.As Alpha Xavier quickly unfastened the restraints on my hands and feet, I blew her a kiss and winked at her. No matter what she thought, I've won this battle, we shall meet again. As Alpha Xavier held me, I cleaved to him like my life depended on it. I maintained my stare, looking at Theodrin who wore a defeated and dejected look. "Thank you for coming." I said softly as he carried me through a string of connecting doors to our bedchamber.He gently laid me on the bed and inspected my body again, just to be certain that I was unhurt. "She didn't hurt me if that's what you are looking for." I saw the surprise in his eyes and smiled. "Yes, she didn't hurt me, she used some rather very unor
ISABEL POV Alpha Xavier looked like a child who had just been told he had lost his father. Valerian didn't say much and left, but Xavier looked on like he was looking at something, so fixated that I had to glance at the direction of his sight to see if he was seeing something that I couldn't see.I sat down with him on the bed and held his hand but we remained there. I couldn't tell what was going on through his mind but I didn't want to find out either. I suspected he'd snap at me and transfer the aggression to me. I may not have known who this Alpha Emrys was, but he was obviously very important to Xavier and my father had killed him. How was I to justify that? There was no justification for his actions. From what I understood from the reports, my father, Alpha Dario had gone to Lunaria to seek help to take down Alpha Xavier, and was successful in forming an alliance against Wolfshade that was insured by Lunaria who had a non alignment policy. He then decided to bed the wife of h
ALPHA XAVIER POV Isabel has turned out to be just the lady I wanted her to be. She understands my needs and desires and is not ashamed to meet them. Making love to her has become something I look forward to every day. It was like our minds were connected and we sought creative ways to achieve greater heights of pleasure.Cuddled up to her after an intense sex, I knew I'd love her forever. "I'm glad you are beginning to realize that people are who they want you to see them as. I can understand that he is your father and so, I can tolerate your bias.""Tolerate huh?" She gently squeezed my member but I refused to give her the pleasure of dancing to her tune."I'd be biased too, if my father was in the same situation." I kissed her and snuggled closer to her.I could anticipate her next question but I have not decided what to do about it. "What happens now to my father, Alpha Dario?""What do you want to happen to him?" She turned to face me, so she could look me in the eyes."Now you a
ISABEL POVI woke up the next day excited but Alpha Xavier was not in the bed with me. I had half expected him to eat me out while I was still sleeping. I've always thought about that ever since he used his tongue on me but it has not happened again."Wakey wakey" I heard just as I was just as I was stretching, the door opened and Alpha Xavier walked in carrying a tray that had steam oozing out of it, and smelled so pleasant that my stomach grumbled in excitement."I figured I should start making up for my ill thought action yesterday." He gently placed the tray on a table and had me adjust to a sitting position before he dropped the tray on my lap."You know Xavier, I could get used to this." I smiled as I closed my eyes and moved my head from side to side, to allow the aroma to fill my nostrils."Well, I am a terrible cook. But I did stand and ensure that the cook gave it their best. Oh, Livia, your friend suggested one of the recipes." He sat there, trying to mask his expression."
ALPHA XAVIER POVIsabel and Valerian and their delegation arrived during the darkest hour of the night. I had expected them to be attacked but Balecheya, like every other member of the alliance against me where lily livered and would not move against me, if it had not been that the force asking them to do it was as strong as me."Isabel, I see you are unhurt." I said the moment she walked through the castle of serenity, along with Thalia and Shira who were obviously having a good time in each other's company."Were you expecting something to happen?" She asked nonchalantly. Foolish girl, she doesn't know the amount of enemies that would rather take Wolfshade from us."No, I'm just excited that you are back." I pretended to yearn. "I've been up for a while now, I'd love to catch some rest." Which in itself was not a lie, but I didn't want to listen to whatever she and her dad had spoken of for now.Early the next morning, Isabel decided to return the favor and this time, she brought me
ALPHA XAVIER POV With the recent happenings, it was difficult trying to figure out my world. The death of Alpha Emrys was a lot to take in. Isabel's assertions yesterday did prove my suspicions to be true. Aria had a hand in the death of Emrys, that was the only reason Dario has that kind of influence amongst the royal guard.There were even more serious issues at hand here in Wolfshade. The separate eyes and ears of Valerian and I had similar reports, yet Dyelin's reports were always different which was at most quite unsettling. She is the flaming Mistress of Spy, and is supposed to have superior reports. "What troubles you my love?" Isabel startled me, breaking into my thoughts. I turned and found her looking worriedly at me. "It's nothing love. A lot is happening at the same time and it's becoming quite worrisome." She tilted her head at an angle and looked at me. "Yes, I think Queen Aria means to really sponsor this alliance, and we'd be lucky if we are not invaded.”"But why?
