KING ARLO'S POV I threw another dart and it hit Bullseye again, making it the fourth. I grabbed another, aiming for the fifth and trying again to picture Luther's hideous face. I've never been this great at the dart game. Never hit the bullseye thrice in a game. It was one game I severely got my ass whooped in. And it made no sense because hitting the bullseye required a million concentration, practice, and innate skills. I wasn't exactly lacking much in those three categories but for some reason, darts remained my nightmare. Up until today. Frustrated about not getting any replies from Jordy, and worried about her Alpha coronation being in a couple of days, I was restless. I strolled down to my leisure room which used to be a lot more fun than this, with the billiard boards, cycling spot, and a lot of stuff in here. The dart board called out to me and I gave it a try. I pictured Luther's face, fantasizing that what I had in my hand was a dagger and the bullseye was his
MESSIAH JORDY'S POV Mother broke into a sob for the umpteenth time, but quickly dabbed at her tears. "I'm sorry," her voice was croaky from how much she'd been silently crying. I was too broken to comfort her. Neither did I blame her for her emotional slips. I might not be sobbing like she was, but I was still a tad away from breaking down into tears. Father had a seizure. A more severe one than the last. We already invited a modern doctor of the neighboring Pack to attend to him. They've been locked in Father's chambers all morning. Mother and I insisted on sticking around but we got shooed away. Probably because Mother was crying too much and the doctor found it distracting. We tried to get her to quiet down but when we couldn't, the doctor asked us to excuse them. Being out here didn't make her cry any less. Nah, on the contrary, it triggered more tears from her eyes and made her grow more restless. "Do you think he's alright, Jordy?" She turned to me in tears.
MESSIAH JORDY'S POV "Jordy." His voice. His unique, unnerving but mesmerizing voice. The husky effect was graced with a soothing ripple that gave raw, real chills. Hearing it again felt too good to be true. I did another double-take of him, just to make sure this was a reality. Not my eyes playing wicked tricks on me. Seeing him created chaos in my heart, digging up all the sadness I bottled up for weeks. I felt the sorrow thrashing down on me harder than ever. My heartbeat raced. My eyes stung. I was heaving. And down the tears came, unabatedly. "Leave!" He growled. And just then, I realized the Omega was still around. She scurried away and he shut the door. His arms beckoned at me. But I needed some kind of approval to go to them. I wanted an invitation. I wanted him to say something. Anything. But he was static. Still, my tears wouldn't stop coming down. I couldn't take it anymore and so I went to him. Raced right into his arms, holding him so tight. He wrappe
King Arlo Caddel "Arlo, you aren't ready yet?" My eyes traveled over to the door and saw Ivan, my best friend and Beta standing there with a frown on his face. "I already am..." I said looking at the golden rimmed full body mirror to see what was out of place and then my Beta's sigh coming all the way from the door. "Why can't you ever let the royal designer do her job? no offense, your highness... but this attire is far too simple.. they might even confuse you for a mere Alpha wolf," I laughed off his worries placing a curled arm on his shoulder. "Oh, it's not that bad.. is it?" "It is," Ivan said firmly. I walked over to my king sized bed, sinking on it with a sigh, I wasn't even in any mood of attending the ceremony at all. Infact left to me I would move my throne over to my bedroom, but I was a King and there were certain duties I couldn't neglect even if I wanted to. This ceremony was one, I had been specially invited so I had to show the courtesy of gracing the occasion. I didn'
King Arlo Caddel To say that I was not confused would be a blatant lie. One minute, I was standing behind two young boys, one of which the goddess had identified as my mate. The next minute, I was running behind the little boy, keeping enough distance to shield the fact that I was running behind him, yet keeping enough distance to follow his tracks. Immediately my male mate dashed into the forest, I followed him behind. I could not let him go so easily, not with all the million and one questions I had to ask. A male mate? Really? I continued to curse in annoyance. Did the goddess really want to punish me in such a manner? What had I ever done to deserve such unkindness? All these years, especially after the sour betrayal of my chosen mate, I had thought that the arrival of my real mate, the one the goddess had created just for me, would fill my heart with joy and gladness. But no. Instead, I was mated to a male wolf, who had just been rejected by another male wolf. Just as I s
Messiah Jordy I had the sense that someone was watching me from the second I took my shirt off, but I did not bother to listen to Axl. I continued to undress myself, getting ready to lie down on the small spring bed at the edge of the room. I specifically loved the bed so much because I had singlehandedly constructed it myself some years back. As I tilted my neck to the window side to get a clearer view of the set of eyes that peered from my window. As soon as he saw that I had found him, his blood seemed to drain from his face and he turned white in that instant. I probably should have screamed as loud as I could seeing that someone had been watching me get undressed, but not this time. Axl, my wolf, seemed to enjoy the presence of the strange man whom he had identified a while ago. I did not know how he had gotten here and why he followed me, but I just found myself enjoying his presence, enjoying the fact that he was looking at me. Axl seemed to want to be around him more than usu
Messiah Jordy As I continued to run as fast as my legs could carry me, I suddenly began to recall the events of the changing ceremony in my father's garden last night. It was the very thing that had led me to this exact moment. I could remember standing in the garden, my gaze dancing from one pair of keen eyes to another. I was scared to my teeth.. and that night had the power to make or break my family forever. My friends were around me, but I was in no mood of talking to anyone, I continued to wonder how my parents were feeling. I wondered how they would feel if I got a female wolf. I thought about how humiliated they would feel, I thought about how I would be mocked and laughed at, I thought about how terrible my future would be after all these happened. I was so lost in thought that didn't know the time was far spent. "Messiah Jordy, start preparing already. We're all set for the event except you, and it's almost ten." Zachary reminded me. I rushed to the bathroom, bath and wo
Messiah Jordy Still confused, I was forced to ask. "So you're a male wolf?" 'Yes. Everyone is perplexed because we are mated to a male wolf, they won't support a homosexual alpha.' He explained. All the while Axl and I were discussing, almost everyone around were staring daggers at him. "Jordy! I'm sorry.. Alpha, you have a white wolf.. the king of wolves, infact, the alpha of alphas." Our mate said and bowed, hiding his tail between his legs in respect. Axl raised his head to see every head bowed except the alpha and Luna. Beta Luther's head was down, but his eyes were on Axl in a strange way. "White wolves are extincts, but the moon goddess has decided to show our pack kindness by giving us one. Henceforth, we are the strongest pack in the entire realm." Gamma Micah declared and everyone cheered. Our morphing ceremony became an all night party where everyone celebrated, ate and drank to their satisfaction and I was still not sure of how the food and drinks came about.. Almost eve
